Garner Presides and Worthy District Deputy Makes Welcome Address—Every Organization Represented—Miss Mattie E. Bowan Electrifies the Audience—A Royal Welcome to the Independent Order of St. Luke—Editor Chaso Represents the Press. No doubt that the greatest meeting that has ever been held in this city by the Independent Order of St. Luke was in the New Howard Theater last Sunday afternoon. It was a unique gathering of the leading fraternal organizations in this city, the guests of the Independent Order of St. Luke. It was a representative audience in every particular, and seated upon the stage were the representatives of every leading fraternal organization in the city. At 3 o'clock Rev. A. C. Garner, associate deputy, called the meeting to order. He delivered a most timely address, after which he introduced Rev. E. B. Gorden, pastor of the Walker Memorial Baptist Church, who offered prayer. This was followed by a jiano solo by Miss Edna Gordon. Mrs. B. B. Anderson, worthy District deputy of the Independent Order of St. Luke, was introduced, and delivered one of the most scholarly addresses that one would desire to hear. She was calm, eloquent and concise in her utterances. She briefly stated the aims and objects of the St. Luke, and the number in this city she stated was 2,500. She concluded by paying a handsome tribute to the representatives of the different fraternal organizations. Prof. N. E. Weatherless, F. A. A. M., was the next speaker. He paid a deserving compliment to the St. Luke, and stated that he was about to erect an one hundred thousand dollar building for the Masonic fraternity. Mrs. Julia M. Layton was the next speaker. She was greeted with applause when she was introduced. She represented the Supreme Deputy Commander, Court of Calanthe. Miss Boggourn, daughter of Mrs. Lucy A. Blaghurn, played a piano solo in the absence of her mother, who was sick. Addresses were also made by Mrs. Harris, who represented the Household of Ruth. Mr. Johnson, the Knights of Pythias, who were very interesting. Mr. W. Calvin Chase was introduced and represented the press. Miss Mattie E. Bowen, known as the Queen of Africa, and who is one of Washington's $^9$ favorite teachers, electrified the vast audience. She never fails to elicit applause wherever she goes. Prof. J. T. Layton conducted the music, and his bass solos were enthusiastically applauded. He had to return to the front again. One minute addresses were made by Dr. Allen, I. E. Williamson, A. E. Wallace and others. Rev. L. C. Moore delivered the benediction. Prof. Alexander R. Richardson offered the following: Your Committee on Resolutions has considered that the preparation of this report should be based upon the subject of co-operation among Negro secret societies in Washington. We recognize that these benevolent and beneficial orders are essential and useful as social and moral forces of the community, and that an alliance of these forces in any good cause would be of great advantage to each and all. The consideration of this subject in a public gathering is regarded as being in harmony with the call of this meeting, and the ultimate purpose of encouraging the idea of co-operation among the people for their own benefit. While no exigency or unusual cause of alarm brings us together in a fraternal mass meeting, it is well known that it has long been the desire and hope of our best friends, men and women, that our people should get together and become more united in matters of common interest. Many needed social reforms among our people could be aided by co-operative effort and there are public affairs of vital concern to our race concerning our schools, charitable institutions and the like, which at times require the people's attention. Your committee believes that a central body representing the various societies could be serviceable to all their respective members, representing them when necessary before the municipal authorities. Congress or the President of the United States in the same manner as the mercantile organizations and citizens' associations influence legislation for the public good and the administration of our local affairs. Therefore, your committee reports the following resolution: Resolved. That the representatives of the fraternities here assembled be requested to formulate a plan whereby a central organization or federation of fraternities may be formed for the purpose of securing co-operation, helping each other and to encourage such movements and enterprises as are of public interest to the colored people of Washington. Be it further Resolved. That each society or order be requested to appoint three members to meet subject to the call of the chairman of this meeting, to plan such arrangements as will meet the purpose of this resolution. Resolved further. That public meetings, such as the one here assembled, be hereafter held at such times and places as may be hereafter determined and that each society in turn make the necessary arrangements therefor. Echoes of the Meeting. Madame Anderson was presented with a handsome bunch of pinks. Rev. Garner is a genial presiding officer. Rev. L C Moore believes in his poems.

Lewiston, Me., Jan. 20. Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, spent today in Maine, and addressed two large meetings at Bowdoin College and Bates College. Arriving at Brunswick in the early afternoon, the Negro leader was met at the railroad station by Dean Sills, of Bowdoin, and escorted to historic Memorial Hall. For an hour and a half Dr. Washington discussed the race problem to an audience which filled every available inch of space in the large auditorium. Immediately after his address at Brunswick. Dr. Washington left for Lewiston, where in the evening, he spoke under the auspices of Bates College, at the First Congregational Church. Dr. Washington was introduced by President Chase, of Bates, who paid glowing tribute to the work of the Tuskegee educator. The presence of the speaker at Lewiston, attracted a large number of visitors from Bath and other nearby places. A Public Meeting. The movement for political independence for the Negroes of this country, is making substantial headway. Appeals are being made from all parts of the country for literature, planks for organizational purposes. A committee of nine, with Dr. S.' L. Corrothers as chairman, are now working upon a plan nation-wide. Dr. Corrothers is a firm believer in the doctrine of a division of the colored vote. A public meeting will be held in the interest of political independence of the American Negro, and also enter a protest against the reign of mob violence in this country. At Galbraith Church Monday night, February 12th, the speakers for the occasion will be the Honorable Potter J. McCombe, of South Dakota, Gen. Andrews S. Burt, of the District of Columbia, J. C. T. Newsom, James H. Howard, of Pennsylvania; Dr. L. N. Ross, J. Anderson Taylor, S. L. Corrothers, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson. More of the details of this public meeting will be given to the public later. Mr. Frank Wills is to read the emancipation proclamation "Mu-So-Lits" Seeking Club Home. At an enjoyable social session of the "Cabinet" of the president of the Mu-So-Lit Club, convened by invitation of the newly-elected chief executive, Mr. Robert A. Pelham, at his home, 2226 Sixth Street N. W, last Thursday evening, a decided "boost" was given to the project to acquire a permanent home for the organization. After a warm series of contests at whist, and while discussing the toothsome menu prepared by Mrs. Pelham, a candid review of the ways and means necessary to secure possession, by purchase or otherwise, of a suitable piece of property, was made with great care. A "look-out committee," made up of Messrs. C. J. Pickett, Arthur S. Gray, D. H. Woodson, W. H. Haynes and John C. Nalle, was appointed to investigate the matter and report. The subject will be taken up further tonight at another luncheon, given in honor of the "Cabinet" by Mr. G. Luther Sadgwar, the newly-chosen chairman of the executive committee. Mr. Sadgwar's colleagues on this important committee are Messrs. Charles E. Hall, S. J. Davidson, G. Smith Wormley, M. Grant Lucas, J. C. Nalle, H. D. Woodson, and Arthur S. Gray. Other officers present were: C. J. Pickett, vice-president; R. W. Thompson, corresponding secretary; Alfred P. Lewis, recording secretary; and Dr. C Sunner Wormley, treasurer. This is the first time a Mu-So-Lit president has formally entertained his "Cabinet," and the innovation is regarded as a happy one. The workers of the club are juglant over the progressive "policies" of the Pelham administration At the February meeting of the organization, twenty-five additional members will be elected, bringing the roster up to the one hundred limit, recently set by constitutional amendment. Bethel Literary. Bethel Literary will hold its next meeting at the usual place of assembly, Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, next Tuesday night, February 6, at which time Prof. Dwight O. W.

WASHINGTONCOMINGATT'Y SCIPIO JONES Tuskegean to Speak at Big Meeting of the Masonic Fraternity, Possibly the greatest meeting ever held in Washington under the auspices of the Masons will be that arranged for the evening of February 9th at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and which is to be addressed by Dr. Booker T. Washington. More than ordinary interest, at this time, is taken in the appearance of the great educator, and there is no doubt the big auditorium of the church will be packed to the doors by Masons and their friends to hear the address Dr. Washington promised Prof Weatherless, the very able District Grandmaster of the Masons, that at some time he would deliver an address before that body, and he has found it convenient to keep his promise on the 9th of this month. It is not generally known, but Dr. Washington is himself a Mason, having been raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular some time ago. He has always, even before his initiation into the mysteries of this great fraternity, taken the livelest interest in it. Prof Weatherless and his committee, and in fact the entire Masonic fraternity are making every arrangement possible to assure a successful meeting Prior to the big meeting, which is skedul for 8 o'clock on the evening of the 9th, a dinner will be given the Doctor, by the Masons, at Martin's Cafe, Eleventh and You streets. An unusual treat is in store to those who will be able to hear the Doctor. REVIVAL MEETING. Galbraith Church Closing Work.

Most Worshipful Grandmaster N. E. Weatherless will act as toastmaster. "The Lawyer, the Result of Whose Skill and Extraordinary Ability in Conducting Causes, Lee Williams is Now a Free Man Instead of Occupying a Condemned Cell—A Remarkable Case. Tittle Rock, Ark., Jan. 24. On the 12th day of January, 1912, the Grind Jury of Pulaski County, Arkansas, indicted Lee Williams, a Negro, charging that on the 18th day of December, 1911, Williams committed the crime of rape upon a certain white woman, and the trial was set for January 22d, 1912. The trial came up as scheduled, and the accused Negro, the accusing white woman and a large number of witnesses, both for and against the defendant, were in court. According to the evidence of the State, "This white woman had been criminally assaulted, and Lee Williams, the Negro, was the man who had committed that crime. There could be no mistake about it. There was no mistake about it. Lee Williams was, beyond the question of a doubt, the man who had committed the outrage. Williams had been thoroughly identified by the white woman as her assailant. She had picked him out of a collection of seven Negroes at police headquarters, and declared him to be the guilty man. She knew he was the man. She knew she could not be mistaken. She had seen him several times before, and knew him. She had previously failed to identify any one of several Negroes brought before her, but the time she saw Williams, she declared him to be her assailant." The State produced some testimony which supported the man witness—the white woman, as well as other evidence which tended to incriminate Williams. When the State closed its case, it was the general impression of nearly all of the people in the court room, that the State had made out an iron-clad case, and that Williams would surely he convicted and executed. But this conclusion was not at all strange, for Williams was a Negro, he had been declared to be the criminal by a white woman, and in such cases, the custom has been that a conviction has always followed. Against this iron-clad case of the State, Lawyer Scipio A. Jones, who represented Williams, hurled possibly the most compact, the most powerful, withering and irresistible alibi that has been produced in the court in recent times, and with it, he utterly annihilated the State's case, compelling the State to an unconditional surrender, with the result—verdict of "Not Guilty," by the jury—the complete exoneration of his client. Mr. Jones, on behalf of his client, produced a cloud of witnesses, time slips, time checks and written records, which proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, that at the time of the alleged crime, Lee Williams, the defendant, was more than one hundred miles from the place of the alleged crime. The proof on the part of the defense showed that the prosecuting witness was mistaken in her identification of Williams. "She knew Williams was the guilty man." She knew she could not be mistaken about it. But she was mistaken. Williams was not the man. She was honestly mistaken; it was an honest mistake. But, if a witness swears positively that a certain person has committed an infamous crime, conviction for which carries the death penalty, it is small comfort to the accused that the accusing witness is honestly mis- taken—that with the witness it is a case of honest mistaken identity. To the man thus accused, though innocent as an angel, with him, this accusation is no plaything, it is a question of life and death. This striking illustration of the imperfection of all human judgment teaches a valuable lesson, and should be carefully considered by all people, because it is of universal concern; and most, especially should it be remembered by our courts and juries. Not that guilty men may escape merited punishment, but to the end that innocent men may not be put to death. The court and jury are to be congratulated upon the spirit of fairness and justice exhibited by them throughout the trial, which was an high credit to our community, our State and the Southland. The facts in this case and its final conclusion illustrate the splendid petition held by Lawyer Jones in the courts, and demonstrate his extraordinary skill and ability as a trial lawyer. It shows, further, that the colored attorney, who measures up to the demands of the times, can accomplish results, quite equal to any other lawyer, and that our Southern courts and juries will show him every courtesy and consideration due an attorney. Lawyer Scipio A. Jones, in this one case, in bringing forcefully to the minds of the people the universal frailty, weakness and uncertainty of all human conclusions—as to ability to perceive clearly, remember correctly, describe accurately or identify truly—in addition to preserving the innocent life of Lee Williams, has rendered mankind an universal service. Artist Recital Series. The Washington Conservatory of Music served a rich treat to its patrons in presenting Mr Harry Williams in song recital last Friday night at the Conservatory Concert Salon. Mr. Williams has spent about nine years abroad in study, and in close contact with artists and the best of artist life. His broad culture and modest, genial personality have won him many friends in Washington during the few weeks he has been in our midst, and his singing stamps him uniquely an artist. Possibly no greater charm lies in his work than the perfect blending of accompaniment and voice, so perfect one feels the impression is born and developed as we listen. Mr. Williams' voice is lyric tenor of splendid compass and highest development. Of the twenty songs he sang each fitted in so well with what went before, it is impossible to do more than mention a few which cling to memory strongest. "Oh, Fair, O Sweet and Holy," "Nuit Resplendissante." "With Cello Obligato" and "A Memory" might be classed as reverent reminiscent songs beautifully treated. "I love, and the world is mine." De Koven's "Indian Love Song," and Tosti's "Carmen," passionate love songs allowing broad scope and big volume of tone. Mr. Williams' own composition "If I Were a King," and the Tosti group of French songs, were genis. Probably no greater compliment could have been paid the singer than the moment of complete silence before the storm of applause which followed "Just a Wearying for You" Our own Mr. Jeter assisted in the program with two numbers: The Nocturne, from Mendelssohn's Midsummer Nights Dream, and the Andante, from Popper's Concerto. Mr. Jeter's work is always acceptable, and one never tires, o flitting to the full, rich, broad tone colorin' got his cello playing. Mr. Henry Grant accompanied Mr. Jeter, and also played a Chopin Polonaise extremely well indeed. Next recital. Melville Charlton, February 5th, 8 P. M. Metropolitan M. E.

The stories related by many of the men were remarkable, and during the course of the evening the enthusiasm reached a high pitch. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the President of the National Negro Business League was present as the special guest of the occasion, and delivered a stirring address. The Local League is planning for much work during the present winter. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST DEVOTED TO GENERALINTEREST (By Miss G. B.

I am a citizen of this city and deeply interested in the vocational school recommended by the colored assistant superintendent, R C. Bruce. of the colored schools. In addition to what is to be taught in the vocational school, the colored people, in this city, are in need of good printers and plumbers. I have visited several of the colored printing offices, and I find that many of them are in need of good colored printers. The white offices, or offices controlled by white men, colored young men are not permitted to enter and learn their trade. This is a trade that always pays, and is greatly needed in this community. Kindly urge through the columns of your paper the immediate need of colored printers, which I see that has been recommended by Mr. Bruce's report. We also need colored plumbers. There is but one colored plumber in this city that is permitted to work at the business. All plumbers have to be registered, and as there is only one registered plumber, kindly urge that young men be taught this trade also. Will you oblige many who are interested? SUBSCRIBER. S. G.

Washington, D. C. How an Energetic Captain Recovered the Money Stolen From One of His Crew. Attaching a man's property for debt is supposed to be a legal process, but an incident which occurred years ago in the city of Natchez, as related by Davy Crockett in his "Life and Adventures," shows that there are other "attachments" which sometimes accomplish a beneficent purpose. An odd affair occurred when I was last at Natchez, declared Mr. Crockett. A steamboat stopped at the landing, and one of the crew went ashore to purchase provisions. He went into a saloon on the way, and the adroit inmates contrived to rob him of all his money. The captain of the boat, a determined fellow, went ashore in the hope of persuading them to refund, but they declined. Without further ceremony the captain, assisted by his crew and passengers, some 300 or 400 in number, made fast an immense cable to the frame building where the theft had been committed. Then he allowed fifteen minutes for the money to be forthcoming, vowing that if it were not produced within that time he, would put steam to his boat and drag the house into the river. The thieves knew that he would keep his word, and the money was promptly produced. PRESENCE OF MIND. The Earl His Head, and the Highwayman Lost His. In "Sporting Days and Sporting Ways" Ralph Nevill relates two incidents of the early nineteenth century in which English highwaymen figure: "In August, 1819, Lady Stanley, travelling from York accompanied by her servant, was stopped by a highwayman, when the mid in her alarm took up a bottle of ginger beer, and the cork flying out made such a report that the highwayman instantly galloped off in great alarm." Lord Berkeley's encounter with one of the famous "gentlemen of the road" had more serious consequences: "Being driven over Hounlow Heath he was awakened from sleep by his coach being brought to a standstill and a threatening face looking in at the window. "I have you at last, my lord," said a gruff voice, 'though you said you would never yield to a robber. Deliver!' "Certainly,' was the carl's reply, 'but tell me first who is that looking over your shoulder? "The highwayman turned his head to look and at the same moment Lord Berkeley shot him through the head dead." The Lion of St. Mark. The symbol of the Venetian republic—the famous lion of St. Mark—is made of bronze. There is a tradition among the Venetian people that its eyes are diamonds. They are really white, agates, faceted. Its mane is most elaborately wrought, and its retracted, gaping mouth and its fierce mustache give it an oriental aspect. The creature as it now stands belongs to many different, epochs, varying from some date previous to our era down to this century. It is conjectured that it may have originally formed a part of the decoration of some Assyrian palace. St. Mark's lion it certainly was not originally, for it was made to stand level upon the ground and had to be raised up in front to allow the evangel to be slipped under its fore paws. The Very Oldest Inp Which is the oldest inn in England? The title deeds of the Saracen's Head at Newark date back to 1341, and local antiquaries cite documentary evidence to prove that the Seven Stars at Manchester existed before the year 1550. There is even a legend that the wife of Earl Godwin stayed at the Fountain at Canterbury in 1029. "But what are all these compared with the Fighting Cock at St. Albans, mentioned in 'Old Country Inn,' and said to be the oldest inhabited house in England? A few years ago its signboard modestly chronicled the fact that it had been rebuilt after the flood." The Tree Frog of Paraguay. In the manner of disposing of their eggs many species of frogs exhibit remarkable peculiarities. A tree frog, native of Paraguay, makes its nest in a bush overhanging a pond. The lower ends of a number of leaves are drawn together and fixed in that position by a number of empty egg capsules. The eggs are also covered with a shield of empty capsules to protect them from the sun and air. When the eggs are hatched the plug at the bottom appears to fall out and the tadpoles tumble into the water. A Way to Do It. Mrs. Blinks--The people in the next suit to ours are awfully annoying.

LEGAL BLUNDERS. A Quer Decree of Divorce Issued by French Judge—Confusion of an English Court. Some years ago, it is said, a legal blunder of a most extraordinary character was committed in one of the divorce courts in Paris. By some misapprehension on the part of the presiding judge, whose papers and mind had got confused, he actually mistook the name of an advocate who had been arguing a petition for the name of the petitioner himself and in granting and signing the decree of dissolution of marriage of the petitioner unwittingly substituted the advocate's name for the petitioner's and thus divorced the lawyer from his wife instead of granting the prayed for release of the advocate's client. As the lawyer had no desire for separation from his wife and as there was no process for annulling an absolute decree for divorce, even to meet such a remarkable case, it became necessary through this judicial error for the man of law to remarry his spouse without delay, and this he did. A somewhat similar error was committed in the English court of chancery. There had been a litigation over some property, which was held by one man and claimed by another of the same name. In evading some order of the court the holder of the property had committed a contempt, and on this being called to the attention of the judge an-order issued for the summoning, not of the guilty party, but of the claimant of the same surname, and the order, a very severe one, was actually in execution before the error was discovered.-New York Press. BOOKS IN OLD ROME. Trained Slave Copyists Turned Them Out Quick and Cheap. There were in Augustan Rome established publishing houses which not only turned out large numbers of books, but many editions of them and at an incredibly small price. That their arrangements were businesslike like may be inferred from the testimony of Horace. He relates that when an author failed to please the metropolis the publishers shipped the entire edition of his works to the provinces, and if he still failed as a writer they made arrangements to bring them back again and sell them as paper to the pastry and spice shops. One great firm in Rome had over 2,000 trained slave copyists, and their work was swift and cheap, for Martial writes that they had ready an edition of a thousand copies of his "Epigrams" in just one hour, to be sold at 10 cents a copy. The exceedingly large reading public which all this indicates must have been many years in growing, and one may assume that Rome had long been a city of readers. Atticus, the publisher of Cleoero, had a great many modern methods in the conduct of his business, and the fact that Caesar's "Commentaries" were very quickly dispatched to the outposts of civilization shows that the machinery of distribution was also well organized. Thus we may conclude that the advertising and publicity department was in good shape.—Bookman. Husky Dogs of Labrador All along the coast at every Iskimo encampment and about the cabins of the livestock are numbers of husky dogs. In winter these animals pull the slodges and form the sole means of travel or communication from settlement to settlement. During the summer they are not fed by their owners, but are left to seek their sustenance as best they can; hence the hungry brutes range the land near the coast and add to the problems of Labrador, as they permit no creature to live that they can pull down. If a horse were to be turned out to grass overnight only its bare bones would be found in the morning. Even to human beings they are sometimes dangerous when night begins to fall, and on occasion when hard driven by hunger they have been known to attack children in the day. Considering they are hardly ever fed in the summer, one only wonders that there are not more ill deeds to set to their account. —Wide World Magazine. A Tramp's Story.

It is admitted that the oldest medical work known is the Ebers papyrus discovered by Georg Ebers in his journey to Egypt in 1872-3. It is a scroll twenty yards long and a foot wide and has been studied and translated by Von Oefele and reviewed by Von Lippmann. It was written about 1550 B. C., though some of the material of which it is a compilation dates back to about 3700 B. C. The medical substances mentioned include copper—once more costly than gold and silver—lead, iron, antimony, carbon, sulphur, salt, soda, gypsum and other minerals; milk, fats from many animals, wax, and the horn, blood and other portions of domestic and wild animals; castor and other oils, honey, ralsins, grapes, figs, dates, wine, beer, linen, fix, lanolin, papyrus, numerous resins, caraway, fennel, dill, mellot, watercress, peppermint, coriander, lettuce, endive, absinth, pomegranate, calamus, aloes, sandflower, crocus, indigo, henbane, maudrake, opium and other plants and vegetable products. In preparing drugs solids were grated or powdered in a stone mortar. There were many processes of treating them, such as roasting, baking, pressing, steeping, warming, boiling in various substances, macerating with lye, evaporating and fermenting with yeast. Liquids were filtered and clarified. Some recipes contain two or three ingredients, but others have as many as thirty-seven materials. The "Key of the Mediterranean" Has Had a Stormy History. England has been in possession of the rocky promontory of Gibraltar since 1701. From that time to this it has been a crown colony under the administration of a governor. By reason of its important strategical position it is called the "key of the Mediterranean." Gibraltar has had a stormy history. In 711 the rock was taken by the Arab chief Tarik, who called it Jebel-al-Tarik (Hill of Tarik) and built a fortress on the promontory. Part of these ruins are still extant. In 1300 it was taken by the Castilians, only to be recaptured by the Moors in 1333. It was held by them until 1462. Following the taking and sacking of Gibraltar in 1540 by Barbarosso, extensive military works were built there by order of Charles V. In 1704 the promontory was captured by a combined force under Sir George Rooke and the Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt, fighting for the Archduke Charles of Austria. The moment it fell into their hands the British admiral threw off the alliance with the Austrians and took complete possession of the works. British possession since that time has been unbroken, although it was under a Spanish siege for nearly three years and eight months, beginning in 1776. Twice the garrison was on the point of falling because of the starvation of its defenders. Right on the Job. At the time Dewey captured the Philippine Islands there was only one lighthouse in operation in the Philippine waters—that on Cape Melville, Balabac Island, south of the island of Palawan and marking the entrance between the China sea and the Sulu sea. As is the custom in time of war, the Spanish authorities had ordered all lighthouses to have their lights extinguished when it was discovered that an attack on Manila was threatened by the American navy. It appears that this order was carried out at all other places except at the lighthouse mentioned above, where the order was never received. The keeper of this light kept his light burning up to June 30, 1890, without assistance, and was paid for his services from May 1, 1890, to that date by the Philippine government.—Philippines Monthly. Fourierism. Fourierism was a social system founded by Charles Fourier, born in France 1772, died 1857. Fourier advocated co-operative industrialism, coupled with the idea that society should be organized into "phalanges." The phalange was to number about 1,600 persons, who were to live in a common building, with a certain portion of soil for cultivation. The staple industry was to be agriculture, but the various groups might devote themselves to such as were best suited to their tastes. Several attempts were made to carry out Fourier's theories, but the result in each case was failure—New York American. His Motto. "You go around borrowing money all the time and yet you seem to be prosperous." "I am." "How do you manage it?" "My motto is, 'Always put off till tomorrow those you have done today.'" —Toledo Blade.

In spite of her sex, woman is pretty much imbued with the same ‘ideas, and propelled by the same in- spiration, and filled with the same ambitions that are characteristic of men. By some mode of reasoning, that finds no justification in Hoyle, there are some men who believe, insist and actually ordain that the only sphere for a woman to occupy is that of a nurse for the children, the maker of his lordship's ‘bed, and the cooking of his meals, and such other tasks as are considered truly and really domestic. Physi- cally, woman is not man’s equal, but mentally she can hold her own. An illustration of a woman holding her own, even in the keen competition of business, is the case of Dr. Amanda Gray. The pharmacy. at the ‘corner of You and Twelfth streets has been the flower over which she has watched, nourished and fostered. “Although but a mere mite of humanity, few men have as keen a business sense, or are as ac- tive as she in managing a business enterprise. And she has done it without losing any of the gentler and finer womanly graces. No woman should be limited to the home ‘exclusively when her ambi- tion and natural desires urge her out into the broader and busier stream of activity any niore than a man should be restricted to man- ual Iabor when his ambition, and natural desires urge him to enter the professional field of _ labor. There is no more beautiful sight than the mother who renounces everything and devotes herself ex- clusively to her children and her home. There is no grander thing than the woman who, taking no ac- count of the prejudices against her sex. enters the busy maras of trade. and hy sheer force of intelligence and energy makes good among her many masculine rivals. What Dr. AmandaGray has accomplished can be accomplished by others of her sex,-and she, with others of the feminine gender, has demonstrated that a business’ career is not the ex- dusive right of man. .

From every angle the bishop's council of the A. M. E Church has not been, in every casc up to what it should be. But at thi time of their selection these now ok bishops, who are in the sear and yellow leaf, were probably the ablest and best in the ministry. But the pew’ has advanced since then, and the pulpit has advanced, ‘too. The cqntest’ for the coveted places will no doubt be strenuous, from now to the time of the assembling of the next General Conference. A HOOK FOR A HARLAN, Colored men throughout the country have been filing protests against the appointment of , Judge Hook to the Supreme Court to fill the yacaney of the late and la- mented Justice Harlan. These-pro- tests are based op his very hurtful, and really odious decisions in two ‘cases, upholding the Oklahoma jim crow car law. In view of the ac- tion of the colored people are tak- ing, the following cditorial from the Boston Globe, one of the lead- ing white dailies in Massachusetts is interesting: “The protest of cértain colored citizens of New England against the nomination of Judge Hook to be a justice of the Supreme Court illustrates the wide unpopularity of this gentleman. Heretofore "the Middle West has furnished most of the objectioris, but the opposi- tion there is based on decisions, al- leged to be friendly to corporations. while the New England protest is founded on a decision said to be ‘unfriendly to the privilege of Ne- groes in dining or sleeping cars. “It may well be questioned whether the president will feel him- self justified in nominating a man who is so generally in disfavor. To select a man who must enter office” lacking public confidence would be unfair to the Supreme Court. A Hook for a Harlan is hardly a fair exchange.” PRINTERS AND PLUMBERS. Elsewhere in this week's issue of The Bee a citizen asks that the vo- cational’ school open its doors to colored printers. The Bee is aware that the demand jor first-class col- ored printers is growing. We need in this office today first- class colored printers. .\side from colored printers a detnand is made for colored plumbers. Sitbscriber tells the truth. There is but one colored registered plumber in. this city, out of ninety thousand colored people: The colored population is at the merey of white plumbers. ‘The Bee would suggest that all cit- Hizens will interest themselves ahd send: their boys to the vocational school. Learn the printing ane plumbing business. Roth trades are necessary. ; DESECRATING THE SAB- ; . BATH. While the good people inthis city were worshiping God last Sun. day, and doing other things that were holy, the public streets, thea- ters and churches were being enter- tamed by lieing handed political cir- culars, appealing to the people to vote for Dr. Wilder. The Editor oi The Ree doesn’t have to dis- tribute circulars to let the people know that he is a candidate. _ Tf the people want you they will Tet you know. What has Dr. Wilder done for the Negroes of this city and the Republican party since he lef South Carolina? , What claims has he on the colored people and the Republican party? He will be told February roth. NOW WE KNOW IT. We know that there are some lawyers in this world who have wheels in their head, but we didn’t helieve for a moment that there were any in this city. There are lawyers on the Sancho-farzo and Don Quixote order, who generally file bills and petitioris to amuse their awn imagination. The clec- tion of delegates will go on just the sume, notwithstanding the ‘opposi- tion of these wind-mill petitions. The Bee is now gonvinced that this city has lawyers with wheels in their heads.” \\ - a THE ST.

Publi Men: AndThings ; Mid you ever have the nightmare, or rather “a” nightmare? Well, you know, if you ever cuddled up to one, how dopy it makes you feel. Well— and I have to laugh every time I think of it—I read Jim Waters’ atti- cle in The Bee last week, on women, and that night I had the worst attack of nightmare, or rather I should make it the plural number and say night- mares, I ever had in my life. For a while, my mother who was sleeping in the next room, thought I had the jim-jams. I read Jim's article both ways, starting with the beginning and reading down to the end, and then starting with the end and reading up to the starting point, and it was a long time before I got into my noodle what the boy was driving at. He ran in 90 many old munimified resi- dents of antiquity, so many. has-beens and once wasers, and sandwiched in so many quotations that i really took a Philadelphia lawyer to sift out the point Jim way heaving at. I finally located the bare, however, and dis- covered that Jun was handing the women, a few tide ones because they. or some of then, aspired to be as fn- dependent, or nearly so. as a man, Jim, my dear old college chum. don't you know yon are on dangerous ground?

If I didn't think ths way, Iam telling you all in a low sweet voice, that I might just as well prepare to defend my: self against a suit for divorce. But my dear friend Jimmie Waters, don’ you know you have hit the wrong trail when you dare write that a wo- man has no right to-aspire or enjoy independence, especially in this town where women come pretty near wear ing creased trousers?

Billie's just hungry for deserts BUILDING UP THE NEGRO. _ At Durham, N. C, there bas been established an institution for the ben- elit of the colored race. It is called the “National « Religious Training School” and Chautauqua.” Its presi dent is James E- Shepard, a ntost worthy man, wito stgnds well with all his neighbors, white and.cnlored, and who has done a great work for his people. The school 13 interdenomina- tonal and 1» open to both sexes of the colored race Mts objects are to send settlement workers te all large centers ‘for the purpose of teaching the Negroe~ proper methods of sani tation and how to mahe ot themselves good citzens and worthy members of society; to train missjonary work- ers for home and tore nelds; to tran workers fur the YMC A. and YOW. CoA. among the ‘Golured peo- ple. to tran Negrs mumsters and to hupart such instructun m industrial employments as will enable the pu- pils of this institution to make them- selves useful and self-supporting and self-respecting members of the com- munities in which they live. . At a very conservative estimate the property of the Training School is now worth not less than 101,000. Two of the buildings on the premises of the school, steam heated, well supplied with water and lighted by electricity, ‘are valued at $17,000. Seven build- ings supplied with water, and light- ed by electricity, are estimated to be worth not less than $30,000, The land owned by the Training School is worth $12,000, and the other build- ings, and the furniture and equipment of the school go to make up the re- mainder of the very modest estimate that has been placed upon the prop- etty. The school now owes in old bilis and notes $26,000, and for cur- rent expenses $3,700, making « total of $29,700. The needs of the school are $20,000 for a theological building, $25,000 for settlement work, $25,000 Yor additional buildings, $5,000" for extension work, $1,000 for a better water supply and’ $3,000 for larger equipment.

We, the undersigned, constituted an election board by the Republican National Committee, to direct and supervise the election of delegates and alternates from the District of Columbia to the Republican National Convention to be held in the city of Chicago on Tuesday, June eighteenth, nineteen hundred and twelve, under and by virtue of the authority vested in us by the said Republican National Committee, do hereby adopt and promulgate the following regulations and arrangements for holding and governing said election: Official Call of the Republican National Committee Under Date of December 12, 1911. "The election of delegates from the District of Columbia shall be held under the direction and supervision of an Election Board composed of Leonard P. Bradshaw, Esquire, John Lewis Smith, Esquire, and Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, of the District of Columbia. This Board shall have authority to fix the date of said election, subject to prior provision herein, and to arrange all details incidental thereto; and shall provide for a registration of the votes cast, such registration to include the name and residence of each voter." In accordance with the requirements of this official call notice is hereby given that the election of delegates and alternates to the next Republican National Convention to be held in the City of Chicago on Tuesday, June eighteenth, nineteen hundred and twelve, will take place on SATURDAY, TENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY, nineteen hundred and twelve. Every male citizen of the District of Columbia twenty-one years of age or over, without regard to past political affiliation, who believes in the principles of the Republican Party and indorses its policies, and who has resided in the District of Columbia for one year next prior to the date of the registration and election herein provided for and has resided for two months next prior thereto in his voting precinct, and who does not claim citizenship elsewhere shall have the right to vote. The District of Columbia shall be divided into twenty-two election precincts corresponding with what has formerly been known as the legislative districts. The voting places shall be hereafter designated. Prior to the election, this election board shall appoint for each polling place three citizens of known integrity as a board of judges whose duty it shall be on the day of the registration and election to determine the qualifications of the voters as herein prescribed, to receive, count, announce and return the ballots to a Returning Board hereinafter provided for. Said board of judges shall choose one of its members as chairman and another as clerk. The Election Board shall, prior to the election, select three citizens, qualified voters as hereinbefore prescribed, as a Returning Board. The polls shall be kept open during such hours of the day as this Election Board shall hereafter determine. No person will be eligible to vote who shall not have registered. The Election Board will furnish ballots printed in plain type which shall contain the following words only: "For delegates and alternates to the Republican National Convention in the City of Chicago, Ill., June 18, 1912. Delegates _____" Each board of judges shall ascertain and determine the qualifications of any person offering to register. If the right to register and vote is challenged by any person said board of judges shall at once determine finally such person's right to register and cast a vote. When any such challenge is made no other vote shall be received by the board until it shall have determined the qualification of the person whose right is challenged. The Returning Board shall choose one of its members as chairman and another as clerk. At the expiration of two hours from the close of the polls, said returning Board shall convene to receive the returns from the several boards of judges at such place as may be hereafter designated. Said Returning Board shall unseal the Each board of judges shall keep a registration record, upon which shall be entered before the vote is deposited, the full name of the voter, his street and the number of his residence. No voter shall be allowed to deposit his ballot until such registration is fully completed. Ten minutes prior to the closing of the polls, the chairman of each board of judges shall announce that the polls will be closed at the time hereafter to be fixed by this Board on Election. At the close of the polls, each board of judges shall open the boxes and openly count the ballots cast and made a return thereof, to be signed by them, or a majority of them, which returns shall state the name of the persons for whom ballots are cast, the number received by each, and shall thereupon make a public declaration of the results. The board of judges or a majority of them immediately after making such declaration shall seal up all the ballots and over their names shall address and deliver the same, duly certified, together with the registration record, to the Returning Board within two hours from the time of such sealing. In no case shall the board of judges adjourn until its duties are completed, packages of ballots and tabulate the returns as made by the boards of judges. No appeal shall be allowed by the Returning Board from a decision of the board of judges relative to the qualification of a voter. When the Returning Board shall have completed its tabulation, it shall openly announce the names of persons for whom votes have been cast and the number received by each. The Returning Board or a majority of them shall upon the completion of its duties file immediately with the Election Board a statement over their signatures showing the names of the persons for whom votes have been cast and the number received by each candidate. This Election Board, or a majority of them, shall give to each of the two candidates for delegate and to each of the two candidates for alternates on the ballot receiving the greatest number of votes a certificate of election as delegates and alternates, respectively, to the Republican National Convention. To secure recognition under this call each ticket must be complete, consisting of two candidates for delegates and two candidates for alternates, and must be indorsed in writing by at least one hundred citizens of the District of Columbia, to be filed with the election board at its office in the Union Building, 619-21 G Street Northwest, on or before 12 o'clock noon, Thursday, February first, nineteen hundred and twelve. The candidates comprising each ticket must deposit with the Finance Committee to be selected by the Election Board on or before January thirtieth, nineteen hundred and twelve, the sum of four hundred ($400.00) dollars, payment to be made to the chairman of the Finance Committee on or before 12 o'clock noon, February first, nineteen hundred and twelve. The money so subscribed will be used to defray the expenses covering the purchase of registration books, printing of ballots, compensation of judges of election and clerks, registration and voting booths, and other necessary expenses. The Finance Committee will make all disbursements, and after this election is closed an accounting will be held and any unexpended balance remaining in the hands of the Finance Committee will be returned to the candidates representing each ticket, every ticket to receive its pro-rata of the surplus. Changes or amendments to these regulations may be made in the direction of the Election Board. JNO. LEWIS SMITH (Seal). ANDREW J. THOMAS (Seal). Washington, D. C., Jan. 6th, 1912.
