Succeeded Against Opposition. One of the best known pharmacists in the city is Dr. Win. L. Smith, who has just moved into his large and commodious drug store at the northeast corner of Elm and 4th Streets Northwest, LeDroit Park. This well known druggist is no stranger to the Washington people. He is known, however, to be a progressive and enterprising business man, who does everything to please his patrons. Dr. Smith was born in North Carolina, Columbus County, and removed to this city a few years ago. He attended Dr. Mabray's school in his native State. From there he went to Lincoln University. Pennsylvania, from which institution he graduated with high honor. He then left there and came to this city and entered the medical department of Howard University. He graduated as a pharmacist after having surmounted a great deal of opposition from his competitors. While he was attending the medical school at Howard University and not yet having graduated, he conducted a drug store at the corner of Pomroy and Seventh streets northwest, having to pay a large salary to registered druggists. Notwithstanding the large sums of money he paid out, and having to contend with his opponents and competitors in business, he succeeded in graduating from the pharmaceutical department of How- ard University. He took an examination before the medical board of examiners and successfully passed, notwithstanding the attempt of a few of his enemies to prevent him. He then assumed charge of his drug store in deed and in fact. He moved from Pomeroy to 4th and Elm streets. Le Dront Park, where he remained some time. Finding that his store was too small, he then removed to the northeast corner of 4th and Elm streets to his new and commodious drug store, where he is now beautifully located, with every modern convenience. A peep into this up-to-date store will convince you how this young man has struggled for existence and succeeded against all opposition. Dr. Smith is an affable man, always willing and ready to please his customers. It is the place where you can go and be accommodated with everything in the drug line. The young man was married to a very accomplished lady who was born in this city. She comes from one, of the oldest and highly respected families. Her name before marriage was Miss Christine Dorsey. She is a great help to her husband, and is ever ready to aid him in his business. If you want to meet a great man and one that is pleasing in his manners, Dr. W. L. Smith is the man The Bee is personally acquainted with this progressive business man, and it is hoped that the people in LeDroit Park will realize the importance of supporting and patronizing an up-to-date druggist. No one knows how Dr. Smith has struggled in life to be successful in the business in which he is engaged When a boy he worked for ten cents a week to enable him to obtain an education. Then by hard work and perseverance he was promoted to ten dollars a month. In a former statement The Bee stated that after he left Mr. Mabray's school he taught school for a while in his county before he left for Pennsylvania. He often went hungry because he didn't have sufficient means to enable him to exist. From a little bare-foot country boy he has risen to be one of the leading and best known drugists at the Capital of the Nation He deserves credit for the success that he has attained in life, and it is the hope of The Bee that he may continue to succeed. PROF. HAWKINS SPEAKS. Maryland Educator Before the Bethel Literary—Lively Discussion. There was a distinguished audience to greet Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the Baltimore, Md., high school at the Bethel Literary last Tuesday evening. Prof. Hawkins is not only a speaker, but a logical reasoner. The subject of his paper was "Racial Antipathies." He showed that he had made much search in ancient and modern history, and he discussed his subject in a most pleasing manner. "Racial antipathy," he said. "is either due to either instinctive impulses or reflective thought processes. An object, be it a person or a thing, which excites in an individual a feeling of aversion, an impulse to get away from the exciting object without any purposeful end in view is purely instinctive antipathy. But when the aversion to the exciting object is accompanied by a notion of results to be shunned or sought, such an impulse is highly rational. Antipathies of the latter character are, unfortunately, likely to be as characteristic of the oppressed peoples as of the oppressor. The race or individual discriminated against; if not careful, harbors revenge, nurtures the while a spirit of antagonism, and when the wheel of fortune rolls the erstwhile inferior on top, the latter becomes palpably guilty of discriminations and injustice to those so unfortunately situated." At the conclusion of his address President Washington announced the paper open for argument. Among those who discussed his paper were: Mr. Miles C. Maxfield, Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Miss Carrie Clifford, Mr. King, of Baltimore, W. Calvin Chase, and others. Prof. Hawkins was accompanied from Baltimore by his wife. While here they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Brooks, of Pierce Place, N.W. They reff on the midnight train for their home in the evening. Next Tuesday evening Dr. Davidson, of the public schools will speak, J. ALBERT JOHNSON, Bishop of South Africa, to Address Big Mass Meeting of Men Under Auspices of Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. has made arrangements for what purports to be the biggest meeting held by them this season. Dr. J. Albert Johnson, Bishop of South Africa, formerly pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, has been secured to speak to a big mass-meeting for men only, Sunday afternoon, Dec. 17, at 3:30 P. M., at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Dr. I. N. Ross, the pastor of this church, will also give a short talk, and Hon. J. C. Napier will read the scripture les-on. An extraordinary, musical program has been arranged, consisting of the Lyric Orchestra, a male quartet, and Mr. E. N. Broadnax, sololist. Prof Braxton, accompanist. It has been announced that two more big meetings have been arranged by the Y. M. C. A. On Dec 24, Judge W. T. Norris, of the Department of Justice, will address the "Christmas Meeting" on the topic of the day. "Universal Peace." Meeting held at Hiawatha Theater. On Dec. 31st, a years-end meeting and New Year's reception will be held at the New Howard Theater. ATTORNEY J. A. MOSS. He Thinks Judge Mullowney is the Man. Attorney John A. Moss, in speaking to a representative of The Bee this week, was asked if he favored the reappointment of Judge Alexander R. Mullowney, Judge of the Police Court. In reply he said that he didn't know of a better man to succeed him than himself. "Yes," said Mr. Moss. "I am for, the reappointment of Judge Mullowney, because he is a good man." In fact, remarked the attorney, I have a high regard for Judge Pugh also. I think Judge Mullowney is the man." Sermon to the Veterans. The Odd Fellows' Veterans' Association, of the District of Columbia, will have their annual sermon preached Sunday evening at 7:30 P. M. at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Rev. Walter H. Books officiating Mr. Jacob B. Atkins will read the prospectus. Mr. Jas. L. Turner will be the master of ceremonies.

Smith, had arranged a beautiful table, with refreshments, which was delightfully 1 BISHOP ALEXANDR WALTERS enjoyed.

Davilson will deliver an address to parents and teachers under the auspices of Bethel Literary and Historical Association next Tuesday evening, the 19th insta. on the subject, "The Problem of the School." The new superintendent's utterances on this very important subject will doubtless be received with great interest by the public at large. WHAT THE ST. LUKES ARE DOING. The union initiation of candidates will take place at Berean Baptist Church, 111th and V Streets, Tuesday evening, Dec. 10. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, the R. W.

M Street Defeats Howard Academy. In dazzling play, M Street High School basket ball team trimmed the quint from Howard Academy by the score of 11 to 6. M Street's five, composed of new men, was expected to loose out, but when the fast little bunch got warmed up, it was good-night for Howard. Joseph Holland, of M Street, proved the bright particular star of the game. Lafayette played well, and so did Bohee, but lack of team work and a tendency to roughness hampered their work. Summary: M Street. Academy. Holland. R. F. Bohee Johnson. L. F. Avery Greene (Capt.) C. Grinnage Hughes. R. G. Lafayette Rector. L. G. Valentine Capt. Referee—E. B. Henderson. Umpire—B. Washington. Banneker School defeated a picked team, in an exhibition contest, while Cook School walked away from Douglass School by a score of 11 to 3. Jones and Banneker Win 'Division Championships. Jones School lightweight team, and Bauneker School heavyweight five won the 12th Division championship in basket ball last week, and will represent the Division in the city championship series. Before a large crowd of youngsters loyal to their schools, Jones defeated Douglass and Simmons school teams in championship style, while Bauneker heavies had not much difficulty in defeating Jones heavyweight team by ```markdown ``` the score of 8 to 3. largely through the good playing of Lacy, of Banneker. Dr. Renfro and Miss Chase are proud of their representatives. The prettiest high school game played since football has been a feature of our school life, was played at Union League Park. when M Street High met and defeated Armstrong by a score of 17 to 0. Hugh Shipley, captain of last year's winning company at the competitive drill, has made an enviable record in football during his first year at Brown University. As a freshman he has had a hard job making good, but northern papers consider him one of the best men on the team that beat Pennsylvania and many others. He got into all but two games of the season, and received special mention in three. In the game with the University of Vermont he is credited with saving the game. To Garnet C. Wilkinson is largely due the development of Shipley and Gray. Race prejudice caused disparaging remarks in Shipley's hearing at Brown, and in mid-season he quit the team, but upon the advice of President France he returned, and more than met hearty good fellowship. From the president of the University down to the student body Shipley was treated royally, lodged at the best hotels, and made feel at home everywhere. That Shipley will make good at the Providence school is expected by all. Mrs. Gray Dead. Mrs. Mary A. C. Gray, an old-time Yorker, who has many friends in this city, died at her home in York, Pa., last week; and was buried on Sunday, from the old homestead in that simplicity in which she lived. She leaves an only son, Prof. J. H. Gray, of Philadelphia, Pa. She was noted for her deeds of charity. Testimonial to Bishop Walters. The testimonial and banquet to Bishop Alexander Walters at the Galbraith Church by the citizens of this country last Thursday night was a brilliant affair. Particulars next week. Editor Andrews in Town. W. T. Andrews, of Sumter, S. C., editor of The Defender, and Dr. J. R. Levy, of Florence, S. C., were in the city this week, attending the meeting of the National Republican Committee. Both gentlemen were associated with Col. Powell Clayton to protest against cutting down Southern representatives in the National Republican Convention. In The Defender, edited by Mr. Andrews, he publishes his appeal to Hon. Jonathan Bourne protesting against Southern reduction in the National Convention. Both gentlemen left the city Thursday for their homes. Miss Madre Speaks. Nearly three hundred people were present at the Metropolitan Baptist Church to the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor last Sunday, to listen to an address by Miss M. A. D. Marde. Her subject was "Some Sources of a Worker's Strength." Miss Marde is a leader in religious and educational work, and a speaker of charming ability. The audience was highly entertained and instructed. Music was furnished by Miss Roberts, Mr. Young and Mr. Williams. The collection was the largest raised in two years Mr. Daniel W. Chase deserves credit for the success of the society. Miss B. L. Browne is secretary. Dr. Washington. Dr. Booker T. Washington was tendered a banquet in the Charles Sumner Annex, Arlington Hotel, last Thursday evening. It was a most brilliant affair.

The other night she went to a dinner that was simply grand: she loves Mr. So-and-So almost to death, and she thinks your new hat too perfectly lovely for anything. She is the first to take up with any new people who come to town, and she. sings their praises to every one who will listen—until some later arrival diverts her attention. She talks at you, not to u, and you feel almost helpless in her presence. You never know what she will do next, for her views are capable of change as often as is the wind. She is inclined to insincerity, this gushing woman. So be a little wary of making her your intimate friend—Exchange.

Justice Hughes, of the Supreme Court of the United States, declined to act as one of the trustees of the will of the late Joseph Politzer, although there was a compensation of $100,000 provided by the testator.

When President Taft was on his campaigning tour in the West, before he had been elected President, he stopped at the home of an old friend. It was a small house, not well built, and as he walked about in his room the unsubstantial little house fairly shook with his tread. When he got in bed that receptacle, unused to so much weight, gave way, precipitating Taft to the floor. His friend hurried to his door. "What's the matter, Bill?" "Oh, I'm all right, I guess." Taft called out to his friend good-naturedly; "but say, Joe, if you don't find me here in the morning look in the cellar." How He Won a Membership. Everyone knows how very difficult it is for an applicant to be admitted to the French Society of Arts. Membership being so desirable long lines of names are ever on the waiting list. There happened at one time to be a well-known man who, was most worthy of membership and who stood so high that he was honored with an invitation to dine with the august body of men. In order to convey to him is the most delicate manner possible the society's ability to receive him as a member, their ranks being full, they had placed before the guest a glass of water filled to the point of overflowing so that even one additional drop would cause the contents to spill. The guest seeing, understood, and in silence looked intently at the symbol, but only for a moment. Then his face brightened and, taking up a rosepetal from the table, he very carefully rested it on top of the water and, looking up with a smile, was greeted with enthusiastic applause. Needless to say a way was opened and the guest became a member. Free Turkey in the Colored Social Settlement for Children. The poor children in the neighborhood of the Colored Social Settlement on L street were made happy by a free dinner on Thanksgiving Day provided by a fund raised by Mrs. Bettie G. Francis, president of the Colored Young Women's Christian Association. Hon. Cyras F. Adams, Assistant Register of the Treasury sent Mrs. Francis five dollars as a starter for the fund and several other friends quickly contributed a sufficient sum to provide a generous Thanksgiving dinner for more than fifty children. Howard University has entered the growing list of helpers in the work at the Social Settlement by forming a club at the University under the leadership of Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, wife of Prof. Geo. Wm. Cook, the Secretary of the University, which club has obligated itself to supply the funds needed to support the cooking classes at the Settlement, and to widen the scope of the work done by this class. There is a growing demand in Washington for well trained domestics among young colored women, and the club formed by Mrs. Cook at Howard University will undertake to sustain the Social Settlement Workers in their efforts to give efficient training to the young colored women who come under the care of the Settlement so that a lucrative field of employment will always be open to those who desire to take this training. This is most distinctly a step in the right direction, and one that cannot but be of great benefit to the community at large if carried out on the practical and efficient plan already adopted. The field of domestic service offers opportunities for usefulness and profit to the earnest, industrious and capable colored young woman who has not had the opportunity for preparation for other employment, and it should be constantly borne in mind that the dignity of labor is maintained only by the efficiency and character of the laborer. MASONIC NOTES. The M. W. Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. Masons for the District of Columbia, laid the corner stone of the Cedar Heights Chapel Thursday, Nov. 30 at 3 P. M. The craft was out in full force, accompanied by a band of music 'Fx-Senator Martin Dodge, of Ohio, made several addresses, complimenting the race and the Order of Masons. Among the prominent brethren present were Grand Master H. C. Scott, 33; Ill. and Rev. Peter Lucas, 33; P. G. M. D. F. Seville, 33; Ill. Brothers, Daniel Williams, 33; A. Oglesby, 33, and many others. After the ceremonies the craft reformed to march to the cars and returned to the city. The following article, which is of interest to Masons everywhere, is taken from the Indianapolis Plain-dealer, Indianapolis, Ind. "The Colored Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of the 32d and 33d degrees and nobles of the Mystic Shrine in the United States of America, are now getting and coming together in one grand body in the past week in Chicago, Ill., there has been several of the prominent colored Scottish Rite Masons and Nobles of the Mystic Shrine from Missouri, Philadelphia, Pa. Maryland, and some other places who have been here in Chicago, Ill., to consult, plan and arrange with Illustrations John G. Jones, 33d, who is the Sovereign Grand Commander of the United Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite Masons of the United States and Canada, and is also the Imperial Potentate of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America. "It has been determined and agreed upon that in the near future, they will all be united in one Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons, and one Imperial Council of Shriners and take out charters and affiliate and recognize the United Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons of the United States, which the Illustrious John G. Jones, 33, is the Sovereign Grand Commander and Illustrious J. C White, 33, of Boston, Mass., is the Grand Secretary General, and they will also take out charters from the Imperial Grand Council of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North sand South America, of which Noble John G. Jones, of Chicago, Ill., is the Imperial Potentate, and Dr. B. H. Stilyard, 33, of Wheeling, W. Va., is the Imperial Grand Recorder. This will soon end all the strife and contention among the colored Scottish Rite Masons and Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in the United States of America and Canada." When Carnegie Was Asked to Pray. Andrew Carnegie is a good talker today, but was not always fluent of speech. Liberal always with religious efforts he was also devout, but unostentatious. He attended weekday prayer meetings at the Pittsburg Y. M. C. A., and was startled one day when the leader of the meeting said: "Brother Carnegie will now lead us in prayer." Mr. Carnegie was the only man there who knew that it was absolutely impossible. However, he rose and said: "First of all, let us engage in silent prayer for a few moments." With closed eyes and bowed heads the little gathering engaged in silent prayer. But the "few moments" became so long-continued and the silence so oppressive that the leader finally looked up to see why the silence was so prolonged, and what Mr Carnegie was doing. To his astonishment, Mr. Carnegie was not there he had tinted out of the room Army Cooks Need Not Be Soldiers Any More. An order has been issued by the War Department making the business of being a cook in the American army more attractive. In the past this has not been regarded as the most desirable job, because the regulations required an individual to be both a cook and a soldier. Now the soldier part to the work is cut out. No longer will the company cooks have to take off their aprons and cap at certain intervals, put on uniforms and go out and learn to shoot. Major General Carter, acting chief of staff, said today the hope was entailed that in the future army cooks would find their jobs too good to leave. What Happened to His Name. "My name was not always Champ Clark," saw the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives. "I was christened James Beauchamp Clark. When I reached majority I found that there were thousands of men named James B. Clark. I didn't like the name so I wrote it J. Beauchamp Clark. Then the fellows began to call me 'Beau,' so I just amputated the James and the Beau, which left me the name by which I have long been known, Champ Clark." Decrease in Attendance. For the colored schools of the District of Columbia the official records in the Secretary's office at the Franklin School show that there was a decrease of nearly 500 pupils for October, 1911, as compared with October, 1910. The exact figures are: Oct. Oct. De- 1910 1911 'crease Kindergarten ... 1,127 1,064 63 Grades ... 14,496 14,062 434 Surely, our school population is not less now than it was a year ago. And so this loss of nearly 500 pupils to our elementary schools is a serious thing. You, as building principals, and through you, your teachers are specifically requested to compare the enrollment in your own building this year by grades and for the kindergarten with the enrollment there last year, using the month of November as the basis of comparison. If there was any decrease in your enrollment, please investigate all the conditions carefully with the aid of your teachers to discover the causes of the decrease. Then, report the results of your investigation in detail to the Supervising Principal. Also, please submit with this report any practical suggestions that may occur to you or your teachers for getting the children into school now and to keeping them there. Very sincerely yours. ROSCOE C. BRUCE Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools. THE HOPE OF THE RACE The many hundred friends of Dr James E. Shepard, of North Carolina, residing in this city, are preparing to give him a royal reception and ovation on the occasion of his first appearance in this city before the Bethel Literary and Historical Society. The subject of the address of this distinguished educator is "Religious Education the Hope of the Race." Dr. Shepard will endeavor to show by argument that the hope of the race is in religious education. There is not a more brilliant orator in this country than Dr. Shepard. He is the master of the English language, and convincing speaker. Next week's issue of The Bee will give the date of this appearance here and the person who will introduce him to the people. The committee on reception will be announced in the next issue of The Bee. Painless Extraction of Teeth Filling and Crowning Dr. Robert L.

EAST THE LEXINGTON HOTEL THE LEXINGTON HOTEL A Great Colored Hotel at Last The colored Americans are to have an up-to-date first-class hotel with every modern convenience with buffet, barber-shop, kitchen, billiard parlor, office, lobby and waiting room, automobile to convey guests to and from the Union Station, etc. A Long Felt Want Fulfiled. Nathaniel Ruffin, a well known citizen, is sole manager. Ever since the foundation of this government the colored citizens of this city have been in need of a first class hotel where families and guests from other cities may go with impunity and with reservation. Thousands of the best and well known colored people have visited this city and do visit it now, but they have no place of dignity to go with their families and feel at home. Dr. Booker T. Washington, about a year ago made a special plea to the Negro Business League of this city to see it that a hotel be erected, for the accommodation of the colored people: that when he, Dr. Washington, comes to the city he is compelled to go to some private home. The Lexington Hotel. has been erected at the southwest corner of twenty-first and L streets, northwest. It is a beautiful three story edifice to contain every modern convenience and accommodation for guests. Incorporated Under Act of Congress Approved June 26,1887 CAPITAL and ASSETS over $50,000.00 THE LEXINGTON HOTEL. The Front Entrance Will be on L St. The entrance to the Rathskeller will be on L street or main entrance leading to the basement. The Rathskeller will be fitted up equal to any in the United States. the L street entrance. The Buffet Cannot be Surpassed. The dining-room which will be large and commodious with a seating capacity for one hundred and fifty guests. The barber shop will be managed by a first class tonsorial artist with every modern convenience. The billiard parlor, office, lobby and waiting room will be unsurpassed. The waiting parlor will be on the first floor, handsomely furnished. There Will be Thirty-Eight Large Airy Bed Rooms and Nine Baths. There will be at least two private bath rooms connected with the suite of rooms on the second and third floors. The Lexington Will be Conducted on the Basis of Any Up To Date First Class Hotel. The banquet hall which is so much needed in this city for the accommodation of first-class visitors and patrons will be one of the features of this hotel. The automobile will run to and from the Union Station to the hotel for the accommodation of the guests. This has been just what the city has needed for a long time for the Colored Americans, who visit here. Whenever a person intends to visit the city, a card to the manager of the hotel will be promptly re- sponded to, and the guest or guests be driven immediately to the hotel in the hotel's automobile which will meet any train that comes into the Union Station or Steamboat wharf. The erection of this hotel in the city of magnificent distances will be an honor as well as a benefit to the colored people. Almost any city in the South has a first class hotel and the people in Washington have determined not to be behind in meeting the demands of strangers and visitors. Capital Stock The company is incorporated with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, of this amount the company has decided to sell fifteen thousand dollars of it. A greater opportunity has never been offered the people of this city, who are enterprising and wish a good investment. The Sole Manager. is Mr. Nathaniel Ruffin, a well known citizen of Washington, who is known to the president of the United States, to the cabinet officers and other public men of character and influence. He needs no introduction to the people, because he is prominently connected with some of the best, strongest, and leading organizations in the city. For honesty and integrity and influence among his people no better man could have been selected for the position of manager.

One time when Grover Cleveland went hunting in the Adirondack forest he took with him Chick Bruce as a guide. It was between his first and second administrations. One afternoon Bruce left the then ex-President and the to-be-President sitting on a log of the wilderness while he stalked some game. When he returned he found Mr. Cleveland munching a sandwich, with his gunstock on the ground, and the muzzle of the gun resting under his left arm. If the gun had gone off it would have blown the heart out of Mr. Cleveland. "Don't move!" shouted Bruce; "do not move until I come to your side." Cleveland imagined all sorts of things, as Bruce came toward him on a "lope," siezed his gun, threw it away and angrily shouted: "Lord sakes, man! S'pose that gun had gone off and killed you, what would'a' become of me? Great Scott! don't you know that I'm a Republican. THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C. W.

Mr. Smith, of Florida, who calls himself a representative of the people in that State, has given notice to the country and Negro Democracy that he intends to call up his bill establishing separate, otherwise "Jim Crow" cars in this city. This declaration must be very soothing to the alleged Negro Democrats or colored men having Democratic proclivities. The meeting of Negro Democrats, independents and otherwise, that met at True Reformers' hall last evening to consider plans to increase their organization, must have their eyes on the filthy lucre, not on the rights of citizenship, which was given to them by the Republican party. This distinguished Democratic representative and his associate, Mr. Heflin, can measure arms with the colored people they will attempt to discriminate against. This recent move of the Democratic representatives from the South ought to strengthen the Democratic party by augmenting its vote. The colored representatives of the Democratic party cannot hope to gain anything by supporting the Democratic party from Smith and Heflin's standpoint. It is quite evident that the Democratic party, with such men in it, will be destructive to good government. It was but a few days ago that three colored citizens were burned alive in Tennessee because they raised cotton near by their white neighbors and were carrying it to the gin mill. All that the Democratic party wants is power, and then the colored advocates of Democracy will be convinced of their folly. There will be no "Jim Crow" cars in this city, notwithstanding Smith and Heflin want them. The "Jim Crow" Negro may be found in every walk of life. In politics he is found; as the agent of moving picture shows he predominates in this city, and the people seem to support them. The intelligent colored man and woman seem to encourage their children to support these "Jim Crow" theaters. What has become of the boasted intelligence of the colored American in this city? Why do they continue to support anything that tends to discriminate against them? If the colored people in this city could only be taught race pride they would soon see how quickly these discriminating enterprises would disappear. There are moving picture theaters in this city that are owned and controlled by colored men. Their pictures are up-to-date and far superior to many that are controlled by those who don't want the patronage of the colored citizens. We are to have very shortly an up-to-date theater, which will be a credit to the colored people. It will be a theater in which the Negro tragedian will display his ability. There is nothing in vaudeville theaters. They don't teach the young mind anything but vulgarity. We see nothing but the shape of actresses and listen to the vulgar savings of the alleged comedian. The Bee again asks, what do the people learn? If the proper support is given our own theaters the "Jim Crow" theaters run by colored men for white men will pass out of existence. INSPIRING CARÉER. Muratt, the French journalist, was no doubt the ideal of the revolutionists of France. He wrote up men and advocated measures as he saw them. There are men among the American Negroes who can boast of their journalistic ability, and many of their writings have done much to revolutionize public sentiment. If we were to go and look for a journalist of ability, and one whose journalistic qualities are recognized, we would select Ralph W. Tyler, the present auditor of the Navy. Mr. Tyler is recognized among men as one of the greatest journalists in this country. It was his pen that won him political recognition with the press, edited by the greatest white men in this country. Mr. Tyler is a fearless journalist, and as an officer of the government he is one among the few who acts with dignity and decision. His name in the State of Ohio is as familiar as the acts of ex-President Roosevelt in the jungles of Africa. Mr. Tyler possesses many excellent qualities. There is nothing mean in his makeup. He never forgets, but is soon to forgive. He has faith in his friends, and one among the great men to help them in need. He believes in uplifting his race. His career is inspiring because his record contains acts of emulation and admonition. He loves his home, and believes in teaching his children how to work and honor labor. He is not one to knock his fellow man. He defends his friends against the assaults of their enemies. He is unselfish and liberal in the bestowal of praises upon those who deserve them. He is today one of the most honorable men under the present administration. He is unlike many of his associates in public life, because his heart is elastic. Selfishness, bigotry and deception are no part of his characteristics. If he can elevate mankind he never hesitates in doing so. He is appreciative and above everything else he has no selfish ambitions. The young man should learn from the career of Mr. Tyler that honesty and integrity are but few of the precepts that he follows. Without honesty no man can succeed. Without integrity, you might as well follow in the paths of criminals. His life is one of unselfish ambition, and to serve his fellow man. This, indeed, is an inspiring career of Ralph W. Tyler, auditor of the Navy, which a young colored man should aim to follow. THE INDEPENDENT FERENCE. The independent conference of the National Political League and the colored Democracy that convened at True Reformers' Hall, was representative in its character. While The Bee differs in politics with the gentlemen who called this conference, it must admit that the men who were delegates to it are well known throughout this country. What they hope to gain The Bee is at a loss to know. They seem to be in earnest, however, and determined to give the Republican party trouble. What are the colored Republicans doing to offset what the colored independents are doing throughout the country? These conferences are bound to create sentiment and division among the colored voters. We might as well look this question squarely in the face and ask ourselves what we are going to do about it. It is useless and child's play to sit down and make fun of these meetings. We must do something. There is a feeling of unrest among the colored voters in the country, and something must be done to allay that feeling. The Negroes are kicking and have gone "crazy mad" as Dr. Corrothers puts it. We must stem the tide of opposition. The speeches were conservative and strong. They found fault with their seeming oppressors, but said nothing against them who once enslaved them. Dr. Corrothers, as usual, delivered one of his strong invectives. He wants freedom for the Negro, no matter when and from whom he gets it. It was a fine body of representative colored men. Just what they hope to gain The Bee is at a loss to know. What can the Democratic party offer? Have the representatives of the conference been assured that the colored Americans will be protected in their civil and political rights, should the Democratic party succeed? The conference showed one thing: that colored men are thinking for themselves, no matter how wrong their thoughts may be. It seems that Dr. Sylvester L. Corrothers is behind this revolt. FOR MR. TAFT. The Editor of The Bee, W. Calvin Chase, announces himself a candidate for delegate-at-large to the National Republican Convention, which is to meet in Chicago June 18th. If elected he will vote for the renomination and election of President Wm. Howard Taft. There is no reason that President Taft should not be renominated and elected. President Taft will have the first gun fired for him in this city. COLORED HOTEL. Now is the time to purchase stock in the new colored hotel. Read The Lee next week. The banquet to Dr. Booker T. Washington at the Arlington Hotel last Thursday evening was one of the most brilliant events that ever took place in this city. President Taft will be renominated and elected. The country demands his renomination. THE FLORIDA SENTINEL A Fine Show in Negro Journalism. The coming annual edition of the Florida Sentmel, published at Pensacola, Florida, by M. M. Lewey, president of the National Negro Press Association, promises to be in point of typographical arrangements and illustrative of Negro institutions and business establishments, the best that has ever been produced by that, well known publisher. It is said that among some of the special features that will adorn the pages of this edition with fine half tone illustrations are, Tuskegee Institute, the National Training School at Durham, N.' C., Mound Bayou Oil Mill of Mississippi, the National Mosaic Templars of America and the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College. Editor Lewey, who is usually conservative in opinions, claims that in every progressive center in the South especially where Negroes largely reside, copies of this publication will circulate.

Beckett, D. D., of the A. M. E. Conference, preached a very inspiring sermon to the members of Mt. Zion M. E. Church on Sunday morning. Subject: Trials and Tribe Public Men And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) (By the Sage of the Potomac.) One of those unfortunate things that it would have been interesting to see, as long as it had to happen anyway, occurred the other evening in the classic precincts of "the Park," where culture hibernates. A certain young man, whose ties always match his socks, and whose trousers are always creased within reason, and rolled up at the bottom within two inches of his knee cap, while walking out You street, and when near Sixth, a young washer lady, weighing 185 pounds, if she weighs a pound, met him and began upbraiding him for not paying her an old bill for "ah washin' yer dirty old rags' faw moan three months." The young swell, who was on his way to visit his best girl, waved the washer woman aside, and remarked: "The idea of you interrupt.ng a gentleman on a fashionable thoroughfare." To make a long story short, Miss Washerwoman, with her 185 pounds figure, clothed in a simple tub gown, laid hold on Mr. Society Man, forced him into a reclining posture, seated herself quietly but firmly upon his vocal organs and facial expression and considerable adjacent territory, and just took forcible possession of his undivided surplus, which was just seventy-five cents shy of being enough to pay the three month's wash bill. When the young man, who, by the way, attends all the fashionable "soirrees," had regained his feet, equilibrium, and brushed the dirt from his coat and trousers, he remarked: "Some of these wash-women carry their passions for mere money-getting too far." And the buxom lady in black who claimed 185 pounds of real flesh and bones, sauely replied, as she turned around the corner of Sixth: "Yes, and you all society dudes care yer desiash to heat yer wash women too falt fer dis chile, so I sho' did jest have to stop you." The few spectators laughes, heartily, and cheered the 185 pounder who had the nerve to go and get her's. I can't figure out why it is that a woman has so much concern for a wee little mouse that she has to mount chairs and tables, and hastily, rather than daintily, hoist her skirts rugonishly high every time one of these last editions of a rodent appears. It all happened at a meeting of three or four ladies who aspire to be "new women," the kind that keep their hubbies at the club because they can't or won't cook his meals, preferring to argue abstract and concrete suffragist questions. They were busily discussing woman's right to vote, in a home not more than five hundred miles from Eleventh street. The embonistist lady of the four had just finished a statement excoriating men in general, and winding up with: "I should like to see anything, man or super-man, cause me to give expression to the least bit of fear of asserting my rights," and she contemptuously sneered it. Just then a wee bit of a mouse shot across the floor; our brave lady, hastily, unceremoniously, and audaciously indifferent to a swell pair of hose she was displaying, grabbed her skirts, gave one shrill shriek, and jumped into a chair, or rather on to a chair. And the other ladies, skirts gathered up in about the same style, made a hasty retreat from the room. Of course a woman, so brave as this lady of quality, by rights ought to have everything a man has, including nerey. I heard a good story told on Judge "Wilyen" Houston, who draws $500 or $000 per year from the Odd Fellows under misapprehension. I won't vouch for it, but the source from whence it came comes mighty near being 100 per cent proof against prevaricating. This incident occurred, in connection with the life of this prominent Odd Fellow jurist and politico-fanist, while rehearsing a speech. After spending approximately a week in the careful preparation of an important impromptu address which he planned to deliver before a select collection of high-brows and honey-handed sons of toil, who were to touch flesh on perfect equality, the judge, who is a great walker, started out to rehearse his impromptu speech. Being a sincerer of nature in all her moods, and desiring a little solitude in which to rehearse once more his contemplated extemporaneous remarks. Judge Houston soon abandoned the highway and entered the broad meadow out near Benning. Half way across he was confronted by a huge, belligerant, bellicose and bloodthirsty goat, whose loss of one horn in some previous encounter gave him a peculiarly unpleasant and menacing appearance. The feral and ravening creature, evidently having no respect for the Odd Fellow judiciary as constituted, lowered his unicorned head and waited not upon the order of his going but went at once, and it may be truthfully added that the judge went at once also. O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, o'er sedgy pool and gorsy heath, the twain sped on the wings of the wind, the judge contriving to keep his rear breadth just about a neck in advance of his capricious pursuer's hot breath. And the judge outran the goat—didn't even stop to wet his whistle with a bit of "red, red-rye." As a spinter, Judge Houston is a great lawyer and a greater judge. Mind you, the judge has neyer told this story on himself. It's bran new—just leaked out. An interesting entry in the absent-minded contest has been submitted to us by an anonymous writer, which relates how Dr. Arthur Gray, the prominent proprietor of a rival coinage factory to the pair run by Board and McGuire, had been gone about two hours on a hunting trip when he suddenly remembered he had forgotten his gun. There are some that believed it would not have made any difference whether Arthur had a gun or not. Some of his friends are inclined to the belief that he can shoot a price mark of a dollar on five cents worth of quinine mixed with a penny's worth of salts, just as straight as Bodardus could shoot, but that he wouldn't be able to hit a barn door, two feet away, shooting a gun.

THE CHARITY RECEPTION A Brilliant Gathering of People. To say that the Citizens' Charity Reception at Convention Hall December 8 was a success, fully expresses it. Every detail was complete. The decorations were a perfect symphony of color, harmonizing with the beautifully gowned ladies, who seemed to fully appreciate the anticipation and preparation made for them. It would /not do them justice for the masculine gender to attempt to describe the beautiful and exquisite toilets displayed of the lovely maidens and stately matrons on that occasion. The gentlemen were fully up to the event, and felt that they were in a beautiful garden of roses. The United States Marine Band, directed by Mr. Santelman, and kindly loaned by President Taft and Secretary of the Navy Meyer, entered into the spirit of the affair and rendered their most choice selections. The sextette from "Lucin di Lammermoor" was applauded to the echo. The glee clubs, of Armstrong and M Street High Schools, under the leadership of Mr. Amos, sustained their reputations for good music. The Wilberforcian Orchestra gave evidence of having thoroughly trained musicians. It was the consensus of opinion that the reception was the finest affair, past or to come, this season. Short addresses were made by Dr. A FAREWELL MEETING. There will be a farewell meeting at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Rev. W. H. Brooks, D.

Mr. Thomas traveled last summer through the Holy Land from the Dead Sea to Damascus, and obtained many rare and beautiful photographs, from which slides have been made. These slides, coupled with the fact that Mr. Thomas is master of the situation, tend to make the lecture one of the finest yet listened to by a Washington audience. There is no admission to the lecture. THE BEE'S ADVERTISEMENTS The patrons of The Bee should read the advertisements in The Bee this week and patronize the firms.

It was in his capacity as editor of the Hawk that the late Augustus Moore, a journalist and playwright of no little notoriously, enacted an unrehearsed comedy with Whistler that created no end 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 annoyed 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 a cane. A struggle followed, and, although opinions varied as to the actual course of the conflict, there was no doubt about Whistler having ultimately 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 as I would prepare to kill a rat. I did cane him to the satisfaction of my many friends and his many enemies, and that was the end of it." "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 kicking 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 is a much bigger 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 I cut him again and again as hard as I could, hissing out 'Hawk!' with each stroke. Oh, you can take my word for it, everything was done in the cleanest and most correct fashion possible. I always like to do things cleanly."—New York Tribune. CARRYING PIG IRON. The Way Scientific Study Increased Results and Wages. No work seems more simple, more unlikely to be subject to scientific study, than the art of carrying pig iron. This, however, has been subjected to the most careful scientific study. Men at Bethlehem, Pa., were loading pig iron on cars at the rate of about twelve tons a day. Certain pig handlers were given extra wages for doing this work under special direction. An attempt was made to ascertain the relation between the amount of horsepower which each man exerted and the fatigue which he incurred. Long continued experiment furnished a vast amount of information, but apparently no law. Finally F. W. Taylor, who was conducting the experiments, handed the data over to an associate who was apt at mathematical problems. Very soon he reported that he had discovered the law—that fatigue varied in proportion to a certain relation between the amount of load and the period of rest—for example, a man carrying a ninety-two pound pig had, in order to avoid fatigue, to be at rest 58 per cent of the time. The discovery of this law involved a great amount of data, including certain physiological facts concerning the poisonous effects of waste tissue upon the blood and difficult mathematic formula, including the plotting of curves. As a result the pig handlers were directed 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 received a great advance in wages.—Ernest Hamlin Abbott in Outlook. Plumber. Mulligan, the contractor, put up a church building. Dunn was building inspector then, and when he saw the church he said, "Pat, it isn't plumb." That made Mr. Mulligan pretty mad. He climbed right up and began to take measurements. Having squinted down the plumb 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 devised for avoiding jury duty. The story is told of a man who was noted in the county because of the badness of his son. 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 judge was so amused at the ingenuity that he let the man off.—Judge. A Cool Soldier. A French grenadier who was exasperated at some injustice that had been done him by a field marshal pointed his pistol at the marshal and pulled the trigger, but it did not go off. Without moving a muscle the veteran cried, "Four days in the cells for keeping your arms in a bad state!" "All the publishers in the country have turned my song down." "Cheer up. Think what a laugh you have got on the fellow you stole the music from!"--Toledo Blade. "How about the Nile? Great, eh?" "Yes. As I remember it took up several pages in the guidebook."—Washington Herald.
