WOL.XXXII NO 37 ADMINISTRAT CHASE AND BRADSHA TINDALL I Over 1000 Majority-Disgracefu Attorney Moss De VOTES DEBAUCHED BY THE PROG USED TO DEFEAT THE LEADING PHYSICIANS INDORS ED THE TICKET-VOTES BY DISTRICTS. ETC. Last Saturday was the finale of the political contest in the twenty-two Republican districts for delegates to the National Republican convention. It costs more to elect two delegates from this city than it does to elect forty delegates from a State. The disgraceful scenes at many of the polls was caused by the free use of whiskey and money by the anti-administration supporters, otherwise progressives. Many of the voters were made drunk by the free use of whiskey. Old men who have never been seen for years found their way to the polls. Their only thought was "what is in it?" The scheme to steal the ballot boxes had been communicated to the W. CALVIN CHASE National Delegate, Editor of The Bee, and Attorney-at-Law. Elected Four Times to the National Republican Convention. administration headquarters by those who were friendly to the success of the administration ticket. It was a preconceived scheme to steal the ballot boxes and make null and void the election of delegates to the convention. Every judge was warned to look out for an attack. The first attempt was made upon Attorney John A. Moss, one of the judges in the first district, who had his ballot box wrenched from him by one of the anti-administration. Dr. John R. Wilder, Harry Clark and Samuel Jones were charged with assault upon Attorney Moss. The next ballot box that was attempted to be taken was in the 14th district. About two hundred men were standing in the vicinity of the polls when Dr. Wilder drove up and asked all there to go to the bar across AARON BRADSHAW National Delegate, Formerly Chairman of the Republican Central Committee. the street. They went, and about two-thirds of them voted the Bradshaw-Chase ticket. Similar conditions existed in the 5th, 6th, 11th, 17th, 18th and 22d districts. --- Geo. F. Collins and B. L. Gaskins made a visit to the 9th district, and while Collins was inside the voting booth, Attorney Gaskins took several of the Bradshaw-Chase ballots from the hands of the ticket distributor, who was a small boy, and a young lady who was interested in the success of the administration ran out and snatched the tickets from Gaskins and returned them to the child. The wildest excitement prevailed in the second district. Prof. Kelly Miller headed about 500 non-resident students from Howard University to the voting booth in the second district, corner of Elm and Fourth streets, but they were challenged because they were non-residents. This was a severe blow to the straddle professor, who had been supporting the Bieber-Wilder ticket with a vengeance. All kinds of rumors were floating in the air during the election, and if DR. CHARLES H. MARSHALL National Alternate Delegate, Elected on the Victorious Ticket. the judges had not kept an eye on the boxes they would have been confiscated. The Returning Board Met at 602 F street Northwest, Charles Linkens, Esq. J. B. Bauman, Esq. and Dr. Edward D. Williston. The boxes with the returns began to arrive early. The box at Fort Reno never arrived, but it is understood that 200 or more votes were cast for the Bradshaw and Chase ticket. The first precinct in the second district, John A. Moss, Dr. Giles and Hamilton, judges, had their box taken from them by one of the progressives, who left $20 collateral. A great deal of money and whiskey was distributed in the 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th districts, the stronghold of Dr. Marshall. Dr. Wilder made a hot canvass of these districts, especially after Dr. Marshall refused to run as Wilder's alternate. Dr. Wilder lives in the 5th district, but he lost it by a large majority for Dr. Marshall. J. B. National Alternate Delegate, Elected on the Victorious Ticket. A few traitors were exposed in these districts, who had previously declared for Dr. Marshall, but subsequently deserted him. However, he swept the West End. Dr. Wilder WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY FEB WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY FEBRUARY 17,1912 could not muster enough votes to carry his own district. Dr. C. W. Childs, who had previously declared for W. Calvin Chase, but subsequently declared for Wilder, was the only physician of any prominence to support Dr. Wilder openly with the exception of Dumas and Tancil. Dr. Tancil voted for Dr. Wilder, while Dumas looked out for judges to be selected, in the 3rd and 4th districts especially. On the other hand, a majority of the leading physicians indorsed the Chase-Bradshaw ticket. Among them were Dr. Samuel L. Pierre, John R. Francis, Sr., and Jr., W. A. Warfield, A. M. Curtis, Geo. W. Cabiness, E. R. Beckley, Board and McGuire, Dr. John W. Morse, Dr. R. W. Brown, Dr. C. W. Childs, who had previously indorsed the administration deserted and went to the other side. Many of the prominent ministers indorsed the administration. Rev. W. A. Ray, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. W. J. Howard and others. Vote as Cast by Districts.

Third to Indorse Chase and First to Congratulate His Victory I want to congratulate you. JOHN R. FRANCIS, SR. Accept my congratulations. JOHN W. MORSE. February 11, 1912. Heartily congratulate you. You have won a special victory. Your many friends in and outside of the District of Columbia and the Negro press and the race in general rejoice. MAGNUS L. ROBINSON. February 13, 1912. Dear Sir: I am somewhat tardy, but nevertheless want to extend my congratulations upon your success Saturday. I cannot see how any Negro who knows of your fidelity to the race could vote the other ticket. If there is one thing that stands out pre-eminently in your character, it is the fact that you are ever ready and always active serving the interests of the race with which you are identified. I feel that our interests are in good hands, both in Chicago and Washington, because of the result of the recent election. Sincerely. W. H. COWAN. Collector Anderson Sends Congratulations. New York City, Feb. 11. --- Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Internal Revenue Collector at New York, sends the following congratulations: "I congratulate you most heartily on your selection as delegate to the National Convention. Your friends here are greatly pleased. "Yours very truly, "CHARLES W. ANDERSON." Long May He Live. Washington, D. C., Feb. 14. W. Calvin Chase: Dear Sir: After the smoke of battle has cleared away, allow me to extend to you my most sincere congratulations on the victory you have achieved in defeating your opponent in the great canvass of the town as delegate to the National Republican Convention at Chicago, Ill. May you live long to represent us on such occasions as this. Feeling assured you will acquit yourself equal to the duty, as you have heretofore on all matters where the Negro's rights are at stake. I am yours truly, Emancipation Commemorative Society Seeks Charter. Senator Briggs, of New Jersey, has introduced a bill in the Senate, asking that a charter be granted to the National Emancipation Commemorative Society of the United States. This organization plans, if the charter is granted, to hold a national jubilee in Washington in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln. Buildings of a permanent nature are to be erected here, and the exposition is to be held some time during the year 1913. The aims of the society are to cultivate patriotism, mutual improvement, and to promote industry and art. It is provided that the organization have authority to hold property for its own use, and that it shall be perpetual in existence and shall be under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior. The officers of the society are as follows: President, Jesse Lawson; vicepresidents, Daniel Freeman, John A. Gray and Rev. W. W. Maylo; recording secretary, James H. H. Young; treasurer, James A. Davis; sergeant-at-arms, Robert H. Roberts; chaplain, Rev. Sterling N. Brown; field secretary, Peter J. Smith; and corresponding secretary, Edward L. Scott. Another plan for an exposition in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation is being fathered by Prof. R. R. Wright, of Georgia, and Senator Bradley has introduced a bill looking to the appropriation of $250,000 in aid of such a movement, under conditions named by the general government. It is likely, also, that the original plan of holding a semi-centennial exposition, adopted by the National Negro Business League at Louisville in 1909, will be pushed to the front, backed by heavy influences throughout the country. A definite statement along this line may be issued at an early date. "RICHARD HIMSELF AGAIN." THE JOLT WAS TOO MUCH. Judge Terrell Given an Ovation. (Special to The Bee.) New York City, Feb. 13, 1912. Judge Robert Terrell, of Washington, was cheered to the echo last Monday evening at a large and enthusiastic meeting held at the St. James Presbyterian Church at the 103d anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass, Judge Terrell spoke on Frederick Douglass as an orator, and so vivid was his description of Douglass that he was frequently applauded. In the course of his address Judge Terrell said it is well that we meet from time to time to dedicate ourselves anew to the principles for which Douglass stood. The meeting which was held under the auspices of the New York Vigilant Committee, was one of the most notable ever held in New York. Sea Sickness. The Washington American was taken with sea sickness last week, which made it too weak to make its appearance. The Tuskegee Educator Points Out Golden Opportunities for the Fraternity at the Nation's Capital. Dr. Washington Heartily Endorses Plan for $100,000 Temple, Dedicated to the Commercial, Industrial and Co-Operative Spirit of the Negro People—Race Enterprises 90,000 Blacks Ought to Support. A Strenuous Day—Ovation by Masons and Warmly Received by Others of Influence—Evidences of Increased Popularity—Confers With the President of the United States, Secret Societies Solve Problems of Living. "Hillside Cottage an Inspiration to Washington as a Leader. An audience of representative citizens of Washington, numbering not less than 3,500, crowded into spacious Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Friday evening to hear Dr. Booker T. Washington, on "The Business Possibilities of the Negro Race." Although the eminent Tuskegeean has been received here with great enthusiasm on many occasions, never before has he been greeted with such spontaneous cordiality nor by such an immense outpouring of the substantial people of the nation's capital as faced him on this occasion when he rose to begin his admirable address. For several minutes after his introduction, the "Wizard" was unable to speak. The ovation was an eloquent and unmistakable proof that Dr. Washington's hold upon the masses and the classes has been in no wise diminished by the passing of time. Long before the hour announced for the opening of the doors, M street and adjacent thoroughfares were packed with an eager throng, and when the Howard University orchestra struck up "Hail to the Chief," every available seat in the house, including the platform, was taken, and standing room in the aisles and foyer were at a decided premium. Hundreds were turned away, unable to gain admission at any price. Masons Score Signal Victory. The occasion was a public mass meeting, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity of the District of Columbia, to stimulate interest in the sale of stock for the erection of the new $100,000 temple of, the order, which is to occupy the newly-acquired site at the corner of roth and U streets Northwest. At the instance of Most Worshipful Grand Master Nelson E. Wetherless and his resourceful aids, Dr. Washington accepted an invitation to come to the capital at this time to give his endorsement to the very meritorious project and to lend such encouragement as he could by pointing out the rare opportunity that now lies before the Masonic order and the people of the District to take a long step forward to commercial development which the race so pressingly needs. For more than an hour, Dr. Washington presented argument after argument in support of the plans of the Masonic fraternity, and that his burning message struck home is best attested by the careful attention that he received throughout, and by the hearty applause that each salient point evoked at the hands of the substantial men and women who made up the audience. A practical demonstration of the effectiveness of the address was given by the vast increase in the subscriptions, which had already reached the gratifying mark of $20,000—half of the amount needed to pay for the structure. To prepare the minds of his brethren for the reasoning of Dr. Washington, Grand Master Wetherless, in introducing the speaker, gave a graphic history of the rise of Masonry among the Negroes of America, recounting the achievements of the past, the prosperity of the present, and the brilliant outlook for the future. Mr. Wetherless' story of the growth of Negro Masonry in its 34 years of existence on this continent was masterly in treatment, forceful in delivery and scored a signal victory for the Order, which he declared is made up of "the best blood and brain of the race, representing the bone and sinew of the element that must do the world's progressive work." The Good That Secret Orders Have Wrought. After paying a tribute to the power of organization among men of similar purposes, and the rapid grasp the Negro has shown in the matter of getting together for mutual benefit, as shown by the many fraternities among us, Dr. Washington said, in part: "Secret orders existing among the Negro race have accomplished much toward its uplift, notwithstanding the so-called weaknesses of these organizations are referred to in an uncomplimentary fashion. They have an exceptionally strong side, a side that with a little consideration on the part of those who would condemn them would receive a proper and sufficient credit. It is largely through the work of the secret organizations of the Negro, in connection with the church, that the Negro has, in a large degree, supported and cared for the poor and unfortunate of his own race. In the Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERALINTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) Dorothy Coates, a colored lady, was summoned for jury duty in the Superior Court of Spokane, Okla. It is believed she is the first woman of the colored American race in the United States to have the opportunity to serve on the jury. She owns considerable property there. Dr. Edward W. Blyden, the noted colored author, lecturer and known as the foremost man in Liberia, died February 8, at the age of 79. He was born in the West Indies and emigrated in 1850 to Liberia. Prof. T. C. Okane, aged 82, author of many hymns, died last week of apoplexy. Among his best known hymns are "The Home Over There," "Waiting at the Door," and "On Jordan's Stormy Banks" The Rev. James Shera Montgomery, of the Metropolitan Methodist Church, preached a memorial sermon last Sunday night in honor of the 103d anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. "Heredity fails to explain Abraham Lincoln," said Dr. Montgomery, "so we must therefore conclude he was appointed of God." The body of "Lighthorse" Harry Lee, revolutionary hero and father of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Confederate chieftain, will be removed after lying nearly 100 years in a grave yard in Cumberland, to Lexington, Va., the old home of the Lee family; it will be interred in the Lee tomb. He died in 1818. Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the United States, has been awarded the special grand medal of the Societe d'Acclimatation of Paris, for being a big game hunter. Leo Gow, a Chinaman who lives in Georgetown, Col., has announced himself candidate for councilman there. He has an American as campaign manager. Gow is said to be the first foreign born Chinaman to run for office in America. Prof H. T. Kealing, of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, has been asked to succeed Bishop Grant as a member of the board supervising the Jeans fund. This is a compliment as well as an honor for Prof. Kealing. The table upon which President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which recently became the property of Connecticut, was placed on exhibition in Hartford, Conn., in the new State library. Postage stamps in delicate lavender, in red, green, olive, dark yellow, gray, and dark brown, all new varieties, will be on sale at the various branches by the end of the week. Clara Barton, founder of the Red Cross, who lives at "Red Cross," near Glen Echo, and has just passed her nineteenth birthday, is included in the list of the twenty greatest women in the world's history, by Mrs. E.

Harrison is 80 years old, and has been in the government service for sixty years. The Board of Charities has asked Congress for an appropriation of $100,000 to establish in the District a home for feeble minded children. Gov. W. R. Stubbs, of Kansas, has issued a statement declaring his intention of becoming a candidate for the United States Senate, against Senator Charles Curtis, whose term expires March 3, 1913. The Salvation Army will organize in this city a midnight brigade to rescue drunkards from the streets. Similar brigades are in operation in New York, Buffalo, Cleveland and other large cities. The Salvation Army statistics show that 40,000 drunkards have reformed and joined the organization. The recent announcement that J. Pierpont Morgan would bring his art collection from London to New York has led to the discovery that the financier has more than $100,000,000 invested in art treasures. The total number of Indians in the United States, as enumerated by the census are 265,683, exclusive of Alaska; of this number 193,811 are taxed. The number of voters has not yet been calculated. DR.

In the United States there are many universities which are free from state control, but in France there is only one university, and it is an absolute instrument of the state. It is true that theré are schools of higher learn- ing, which were founded in 1870 as universities, but five years afterward the title was withdrawn, and they are now called “Instituts.” They are five in number and are located in Paris, Lille, Lyons, Teistouse and Angers. But the University of France is an entirely different organization. It 4s the official school. It {s centralized in Paris and has under {t a vast multt- tude of establishments, faculties, col- lege and primary schools, distributed over the whole surface of the country. Directly or indirectly they all depend on the government. The university was established by Napoleon, and In spite of certain modl- fications which it has undergone dur- ing years it 1s the same today in its ‘essential clements as the day he founded it. Just as he established the entire civil administration, with its prefects, subpréfects, judges, mints- ters of finance, so he created in 1806 this vast educational organization, with Its countless professors, who con- trol the entire intellectual tralning of Prance.—America. RAILWAYS AND DOGS. Allke In One Respect In Sardinia, That Both Are Perils. Sardinia fs an fsland of many perils. One of them, we gather from the ex- perience of Mr. Crawford Filtch, the author of “Mediterranean Moods,” 1s the railways. “The engine,” he says. “1s continually making frantle dashes for tle scenery. On the line to Tortoll I made four journeys and had three accidents. Qu one occasion, after a ear had been wrecked, the various em- ‘ployees gathered round the wreckage and spent the remainder of a sultry afternoon in bitterly disputing , the proper apportionment of blame for the accident. As it was !mpossible to pro- ceed that evening I spent the night at the railway station and enjoyed a com. fort that 1 found nowhere else in the taland.” i Another peril is the dogs, who ‘do not hesitate to attack a stranger, even when he {s walking peaceably upon the highrond. “The breed is particu. larly ferocious, and it is sald that the peasants have a way of stimulating thelr ferocity by tying a bladder filled swith blond to the neck of a dummy man and encouraging the animal to spring at the neck and tear open the bladder.” “A Famous Paris Sign. Paris is a city of curious signboards, one of the most remarkitble ones rep- reSenting n tobacconist’s sign at 53 Rue du Chateau-d'Eau, which has been here ever since 1870. It is rid- died with holes made by the bullets of the Prussians, and the oceupant of the shop states that so far as he fs aware it is the only public relic of the Franco-Prussian war in evidence fn the streets of Paris today. “My sign.” he added, “brings me plenty of enstomers, You have no {dea, monsieur, of the number of Eng: Msh and American tourists who pass this way and drop into my place for a cigar or a box of matches merely in order to have a word with te about my bullet riddled enselgne. I wouldn't part with It for anything.”—Wide World Magazine. 5 Getting the Exact Snot. An emergency call from a policeman for a tape measure kept two women waiting in the dressmaker's parlor for five minutes. There were other tape measures there which the dressmaker might have ,used, but she was too busy pondering the circumstance that bad suddenly converted her into an ally of the police department. Pres- ently the policeman returned the tape. “What did you want it for?” she asked. “To help find the right place to shoot a horse with a broken leg,” he said. “The vital spot is just three. inches abore that little swirl in bis forebead where a dozen crowns seem to meet. Iam not very good at guessing, so we ‘thought it safest to find-the,oxact spot | with a tape measure.”—New York Sun. Music of the Drum. All musical authorities have agreed thet when used in a proper way the drum is thoroughly musical. ‘The com- mon snare or side drum fs freely used in musical composition. A large num- ber of drummers performing simul- taneously out of doors produce good music. In this connection Berlioz, the composer, pointed out that a sound that was Insignificant when heard alngly, such as the clink of one or two muskets at shoulder arms or the thuc as the butt comes to the ground at ground arms, becomes brilliant and at tractive if performed by a thousand men together. Crumoled Them: We observe that the man's ‘fingers are all twisted and bent into the most uncouth shapes. “Poor fellow!” we say to our friend. “Bridently he is a victim of rheuma- tism." “No,” our friend explains, “He is deaf and dumb and has been trying to ftalk Scotch dialect on his fingers.”"— | Life, .

The little group of St. Louisans were interested still more when the speaker drew a | big solitaire from his finger and beck- oned a waiter across the cafe. “Bring me a glass of water and an Indelible pencil.” said he wlien the servitor came over to the table. “This is a trick that is essentially crooked,” said the jewel fancier, “and will get by nine times out of ten even when the examiner is an expert at Judging precious stones and detecting trickery. It will make a yellow ‘off color’ diamond look like a stone of the very first water. Pawnbrokers in- numerable have been fooled by this same trick, as It s extremely difficult to detect even with a powerful glass.” ‘The expert took the pencil and allow- ed the indelible lead to dissolve in the glass of water. In a couple of minutes the water was as blue as indl- go water, “Now watch.” said the man who knew the lore of jewels. He took the ring and dropped it into the glass, Its brililancy was dimmed by the hazy, bluish water until it look- ed Uke a dead stone, “Now; you noted,” sald the demon- strator, “that the diamond I placed in there was a bit yellow. It will be a clear bluish white when it comes out of Its bath.” At the end of a minute the stone was taken out. ‘The top of the gem wns dried with a soft handkerchief and then the ring was waved to and fro for a few moments, It was held up for inspection. Not a gleam of yellow was to be seen. The stone was ap- -parently a magnificent blue white gem that any one would be proud to own and loathe to pledge. “It 1s the blue pigment deposited on the back of the stone that has made the difference,” sald the Jewel expert. “The deposit Is so filmy that a strong glass cannot detect {t. You cannot see it from the rear of the mounting and only 2 bath of alcohol will remove it. It will stay on the gem for weeks if it §s hot removed in that way, It used to be a favorite trick of many folks who now and again had to put a dia- mond into the hands of a pawnbroker. “The trick is called ‘doctoring 2 stone,’ but, ns I said in the beginning, I would not advise you to try it. I don't know what the Iaw on such matters is in Missouri, but there are states where « person convicted ot such an offense would serve a long penitentiary term for his cleverness,"— St. Louis Republic. How Artificial Furs Are Made. The ray pieces of pelt are frozen and the skin carefully shaved off, thawed and sent to the tanneries to be made into leather. ‘fhe frozen fur which remains Js allowed to thaw slightly at the bottom, so that a small part of the halr is freed from Ice. ‘This thawed portion is then covered with a solution of rubber, which fy allowed to sct. The result is that large seamless Meces- of fur are obtained much cheaper than those which come with the natural skin.

WEINGARTEN BROS., Makers, 34th St.at Broadway, New York fl A Schemo That Enabled the Com- mandant of a Military School to Detect Odor of Smoke. “The most striking fact connected with my school career,” safd the prep school graduate, “was a pecullar abil- {ty on the part of our commandant to detect the faintest odor of smoke tn a room on his daily inspection. The school I attended was of the military varlety, and smoking was a rather ae tious offense. No matter how much a ‘room had been aired or fanied with | wet towels previoys to the Inspection. ‘the offender was always caught. “After I had received my finishing | touches and become a citizen I made }go bold as to inquire from whatl pe- |callar dispensation of providence the ability was given to detect one mole- | cule of smoke in a hundred cubic feet of pure alr, The old boy smiled and, binding me to secrecy, imparted the reason of his wonderful ability. Then he took me to a boy’s vacated room and told me to wet my fnger and rub my nodtrils with ft and sniff, Lo and behold, where before there seemed no taint in the atmosphere was now detected that smell of old tobacco smoke! Since then I have taught echool myself and have used the trick occasionally, entirely for experimental purposes, however, “{ have also sought the scientific ex- planation, but with little success. It may, however, be somewhat analogous to the process of tasting. You know, it 1s impossible to taste anything that 1s not dissolved in water or {s not a liquid Itself, So the moisture on the nostrils must carry the small particles of smoke in a more or less damp state to the olfactory nerve ends and thus make the smell more apparent. At least this 1s the only explanation I have ever found for the phenomenon. “The same thing can also be used for detectin other odors, and 1 have found {t useful on a number of ocea- stons for this purpose, both in analy cal chemistry, when only a small par. ticle of a certain material is available for analysis, and in detecting faint per- tume from flowers that are ordinarily quite odorless."—Chicago Record-Her ald. 4 F \ i a ] L Au \ AT f| \ acs Zz: TAG 10¢ : ¥ AND STRONG 15¢25¢ Pyste) pete END YOUR MANTLE TROUBLES If you light with Gas, Gasoline or Kerosene you will eventually use Block Mantles.

There ts a record of a census in China as far back as the year 2042 B. C. and of one in Japan in the last ‘century before Christ. Under the con- stitution of Solon the citizens of Ath- ens were divided and registered {n four classes, according to the amount of thelr taxable property or income. The | Roman census was burdened with more statistics than any of these, how- ever. It had its origin under Servius ‘Tulllus, sixth king of Rome, and was an affair of much, solemnity, Every citizen had to appear upon the Campus Martius and declare upon oath his name and dwelling and the value of his property under the penalty of hav- ing his goods confiscated. The most ancient statistical record of a census ix found In the Rible. ‘The census was taken by Moses in the wilderness, and, a3 shown by the first chapter of Numbers, the enumeration roust hare been very simple. “Take ye,” says this acvount, “the sum of all the congregations of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the num- ber of their names, every male by their polls; from twenty years old and upward, all that dre able to,go forth to war in Israel; thou and .\aron shall number them by thelr armies.” This census was an affair that must havo been soon over, lasting no longer than one day, being merely a counting of tHe heads of the Sighting men, The women and children and cripples and the old men were not included; “net- ther were the Levites numbered among thei.” Those who did stand up to be numbered totaled 603,050.—New York World.

PERILS THEY HAVE TO FACE. The Awful Pressure of Water and Air That May Bury or Burst Them—The Helmet Telephone a Wonderful Aid In Work and In Times of Danger. It is surprising to learn how many uses there are for divers. The navy, of course, employs many to set submarine mines and torpedoes and to attend to investigations of the condition of ships' bottoms. Bridge construction companies use them, as do those who build dams, waterworks and reservoirs. Waterworks in large cities keep a diver on their staff constantly. Wrecking companies need their services, and the profession of underriver tunneling makes many demands on the time and skill of the man in arm Since Smecton in 1778 designed a pump to supply air to the diving bell little real improvement in the art has been made, save in detail of helmet and clothes, until the invention of the telephone. The greatest advance ever made in the art, divers will tell you, is the combination of the telephone with the diving suit. Before its advent divers had to depend entirely upon pulls on the life line for communication with the surface and upon signs to each other when under water if two wished to communicate. Today the modern diving helmet is equipped with a telephone, and the diver can not only hear what is said to him from the surface, advise those in charge of his pump as to whether the air is "coming right" or not, but he can communicate to a brother diver and hear the instructions sent to him from the surface, all of which facilities are of great assistance in the work. At first thought it may not seem so difficult a thing, this going down under water and breathing air sent in from a pump by a tube. But the physical drawbacks to the work are enormous. For every ten feet a diver descends he sustains an additional pressure of four and a half pounds over every square inch of his body. What this means may be better understood when considering the greatest depth ever made by a diver—204 feet. His body at that depth sustained a pressure of eighty-eight and a half pounds to the square inch over and above the fifteen pounds always sustained when in the air. Divers must descend very slowly, swallowing as they go; otherwise they may bleed at the nose and ears and even lose consciousness. And they must ascend even more slowly than they descend, particularly when coming from great depths; otherwise they may literally burst from internal air pressure. At the least, too sudden a rise may cause an attack of that terrible disease known to tunnel workers called calsson disease, or the bends, in which air gets into the tissues under pressure and causes extreme torture. The diver, getting ready to descend, clothes himself in very heavy underwear of guernsey or flannel, the drawers well secured to prevent slipping, and adds a pair of heavy woolen socks. If the water be cold two such suits may be worn. If the depth to be negotiated is great cotton soaked with oil is put in the cars or a heavy woolen cap pulled down over them. Shoulder pads, if worn to take the weight off the helmet, are next tied on, after which the diver wriggles into his heavy suit of rubber and canvas. Next come the inner collar and the breastplate, which are secured with clamps to the rubber dress, the utmost care being taken in this operation not to tear or pinch the rubber. Finally the shoes are fitted on and the rubber gloves clamped to rings in the sleeves. The helmet is the last to go on, and never before the valves and telephone have been tested. The attendants start to pump as the helmet is clamped home. The helmet is attached to the pump with a rubber tube, which is canvas and wire protected. No diver descends, after the helmet is put on, until he has tested the outfit and found that his air supply is sufficient and the pump working properly. He is supplied with a life line, with which he can signal should his telephone get out of order and by which he may be drawn to the surface should he become helpless for any reason. He must take great care when walking about on the bottom not to foul his life line or his air tube and for this reason must always retrace his steps exactly to his starting point if he has gone into a wreck or about any obstructions. For the same reason two divers working together must be careful not to cross each other's path. Sometimes the life line may become so entangled in wreckage that it must be cut, and then there is danger of the diver not finding his way back to his boat or float, especially if the bottom is muddy and fouls the "seeing." But the greatest danger of all, of course, is that the tube be cut or the diver faint. In either case he is in desperate straits. If the man handling the life line "feels" anything wrong he will haul the diver up willy nilly and regardless of the severe bleeding at nose and ears which will result from too rapid a rise to the surface. But if the diver be inside a wreck or if his life line gets tangled in wreckage such hauling would do no good. It is in situations like these that the slender connecting link of telephone wire means so much to the men who risk their lives far beneath the surface of the water.-Scientific American. PRESENCE OF MIND. May Make Heroes of Physical Cowards In Time of Danger. NOT A MATTER OF COURAGE. It is the Sudden Impulse That Moves One to Do the Right Thing In an Unexpected Emergency—A Soldier and a Shell and a Man and a Murder. There is a distinction to be drawn between presence of mind and courage. Persons who naturally are timid and nervous will in circumstances of great danger and excitement perform acts of heroism that would be beyond their powers on ordinary occasions. We speak of these as instances of presence of mind. But if you ask them they would tell you that an involuntary impulse rather than any premeditated course of action guided their will on the occasion. Had they time for reflection when all the threatening danger to themselves had become clear to their minds their natural timidity of character would have asserted itself and deprived them of action. It is absence of fear that prompts the soldier under a heavy fire from the enemy's guns, to go to the assistance of a wounded comrade and bring him to a place of safety, and nothing in human nature can compare with such self sacrifice. But in times of sudden emergency it is not always the bravest who act with promptitude. The following story is an instance of this: One of our transports was returning from the Philippines with invalided men, and one morning at sea a group of officers on the deck discussed the subject of firing shells. A soldier was told by the colonel to bring an empty shell with a fuse. The colonel took the shell in his hands and, striking a match, lighted the fuse. As this slowly burned and the colonel proceeded with his address to the other officers another soldier passed the group, and the moment he caught sight of the shell he rushed forward, exclaiming, "Look out, sir; the shell is a live one!" Then he did what never seemed to have come into the minds of any in the group of officers. He selzed the shell out of the hands of the colonel and threw it into the sea. For this service he was promoted. The soldier who had been told to bring an empty shell had gone to the wrong magazine. Those who talked with the man touching this incident say that he repudiated any idea of having done a brave thing. "I don't know," he said, "what made me seize the shell out of the colonel's hand, but it came suddenly into my mind, and I did it." It is this wave of unconscious thought which constitutes true presence of mind. This will come to people of nervous and even cowardly natures. There is of authentic record the case of a man known to be utterly deficient of courage who saved himself from a very awkward situation by an exhibition of real presence of mind. He was an Englishman and lived in a town in the midlands, where he was an organist. Late one evening he was returning home through some of the back streets, which at that hour were more or less empty of people. As he went along, however, he noticed some distance ahead of him a man and a woman walking side by side, the man's arm being around the woman's neck. Just under a street lamp the couple stopped for a moment, when the organist heard a piercing scream and saw the woman slowly falling from the man's arms. Almost before she had reached the ground the man darted away down a side street and disappeared. When the organist came up to the woman he found, to his horror, that she was lying in a pool of blood. His first impulse was to run away and get clear of the terrible scene, but his better feelings prevailed, and he knelt down beside the poor woman to see if he could do anything for her. When he raised her head he found she was quite dead, with her throat cut from ear to ear. Beside her on the pavement lay a blood stained razor. The organist was overwhelmed with horror. Before he could collect himself a group of people had gathered, and presently he heard expressions such as "He did it," "I tell you I saw him," "There is the razor," "The flend! Where are the police?" "Hand him over!" It was certainly a very awkward position, as the rough character of the people might tempt them to take the law into their own hands and use him very badly. The arrival of a policeman seemed to steady his nerves for a moment, and then came a wave of inspiration that might truly be called presence of mind. He seized the dead woman's wrist and, pulling out his watch, went through the form of feeling her pulse. Then he put his hand over her heart and, turning to the policeman, said as calmly as he could: "I am sorry to say that I can be of no further service here. The poor woman is quite dead. There is no action in the heart or the pulse." In an instant the murmurs of the crowd changed, and he heard "He's the doctor" on all sides. This was his opportunity, and, slowly rising and affecting to be in no hurry, he passed through the crowd, who made way for him. But when he got clear of the street and came to the first turning he took to his heels and ran for all he was worth. The cowardly spirit got the better of him in the end. He heard the next day that the murderer had gone straight to the police station and given himself up.—New York Press.

EAST 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, barbershop, kitchen, billard 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 to 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 guest.. Incorporated Under Act of Congress Approved June26,1887 CAPITAL and ASSETS over $50,000.00 THE LEXINGTON HOTEL. The Front; Entrance Will be on L Sta. 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.

The politicians are amazed because the 21st district gave such a large vote. We are surprised at such a small vote in the 21st and 22 districts. In 1900 Chase and Jones Carried the, 21st district 2,908, and the 22d district by 2,125, to Lee and Reyburn, 211. The total vote in 1900 was Chase and Jones, 10,197; Lee and Reyburn, 3,827. Lee and Reyburn contested, but what did it amount to? Bro. Lee sat up all night in his stocking feet, waiting to be heard by the committee on credentials. The committee decided that the election in the District of Columbia had been delegated to an election board and a majority of the election board had certified to the election of the rightly elected delegates. The vote of the committee was unanimous. The defeated candidates always cry out fraud. They fail to point out the frauds they committed. In the 16th district 40 Bieber and Wilder men, colored, presented themselves at the voting booth to vote, and claimed that they lived at the Tremont House, at the corner of First and Indiana Avenue, N. W. This is a hotel for white people and the judges knew it. Notwithstanding, these men were allowed to vote. This goes to show that the Bradshaw-Chase judges permitted illegal votes from the opposition so that it would have no excuse whatever in saying that the opposition vote was prohibited from being counted. So desperate were the anti-administration heckers, several attempts were made to snatch and destroy the ballot boxes. Two boxes were seized, which are evidences of the desperation resorted to by these debauched heckers. Who created the disturbance? The contest in 1900 may have been a warm one, but no such method were resorted to as those witnessed February 10th by the enemies of the administration. Why should the elecction in the District of Columbia be different from elections in other cities and States? History shows that all defeated candidates for elective offices cry out fraud. Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, Stephenson, of Wisconsin, and thousands of other cases can be cited. In the case at issue the little tails to the Bieber-Wilder ticket are worming about more than the heads. One of the tails to the Bieber-Wilder ticket filed a protest against Bieber's ticket in 1908, Horner and Flatter. He could not carry things as he wanted to, for his friend Wilder, who was a candidate then, failed to qualify. Mr. Collins was on the election board and because the other two members of the board assumed charge of the election without the consent of the Wilder member, he refused to act in harmony, so he was ignored. Does Mr. George F. Collins, the defeated alternate, have the same opinion of Mr. Bieber now as he had in 1908? Has Mr. Bieber changed his religion, Mr. Collins? Our Sidney never changes. Politics make strange bed fellows, and if Mr. Collins will just explain why he changed now. The Bee will thank him. SATURDAY'S VICTORY As had been predicted in these columns would come to pass, the Bradshaw-Chase ticket, for delegates to the Republican National Convention was overwhelmingly elected at the primaries held last Saturday. Neither one of the candidates on this ticket regard the victory as a personal triumph, although it is known that personally they were more popular with the people of the District than the gentlemen on the opposing ticket. The victory is ascribed to the gen- eral and popular endorsement of President Taft for renomination and election by the people of the District of Columbia, and it is a vote of confidence in the present splendid national administration. The victorious ticket won an honest and fair election. There was never a moment when doubt was present as to the success of the ticket headed by Aaron Bradshaw and Wm. Calvin Chase. The votes cast indicated that the people of this district desired that the two delegates to the Republican National Convention should be men who would stand for the renomination of President Taft. and stand for his renomination to the last. No President has ever taken deeper and more active interest in the affairs of the District than President Taft, and few have taken as deep an interest. The delegates selected last Saturday will go to the national convention in June pledged to carry out the will of the people of the District, as voiced in the splendid majority given them, by voting for the renomination of President Taft. And the delegates chosen by the people last Saturday will go to that convention pledged to give the District a proper representative on the National Committee in the person of that able lawyer, high-class gentleman and sterling citizen, Mr. Chapin Brown. The election is over, the delegates have been chosen, and proud of their victory, the victors, Messrs. Bradshaw and Chase, are magnanimous enough to extend the olive branch to the defeated, and forget any and all asparties, if any, engendered during the contest. From now on, it's union and harmony for the Republican party. STILL THEIR IDOL If there had been any doubt as to Dr. Booker T. Washington still being the idol of his people in this city that doubt was wholly dispelled last Friday evening when more than four thousand of his race struggled to gain admission to Metropolitan A. M. E. Church to hear him make an address to the Masonic fraternity of this city. The professional and the laborer, the important and the humble; the "cultured few" in high society and the poor but honest and respectable washerwomen touched elbows in an effort to gain admission, and were a unit in their desire to honor the greatest of present day leaders. It was a magnificent testimonial to a splendid leader. As usual, Dr. Washington's address, on this occasion, was freighted with wisdom with sound advice, and with inspiring encouragement. The Masonic fraternity of the city deserve the greatest possible praise for arranging this meeting, and for its success, and Grandmaster Weatherless, whose exceptionally fine and able address of introduction made a hit, is deserving of and entitled to the thanks of the fraternity and community for his part in making the meeting what it was—one of the greatest meetings ever held in the city by our race. No matter how often Dr. Washington appears among us, his coming is anticipated with eagerness and pleasure: his presence becomes a matter of delight and hopefulness, and his going a matter of regret lessened by the hope that he will return again. That generous outpouring of citizens on a bitter cold evening; that splendid and inspiring address Dr. Washington delivered, will surely result in good to the colored Masons of the District, and point to the realization of the fraternity's dream—the immediate raising of a fund sufficient to erect a handsome and spacious Masonic temple at the corner of You and Tenth streets in the very near future. SENATOR BRISTOW. The progressive Senator from Kansas, Mr. Bristow, must be effected with a chronic case of indigestion. How the people of Kansas ever picked out a man like Mr. Bristow to represent them The Bee would like to know. He wants Congress, to pass a law to regulate the election of delegates in this city to Republican national conventions, and at the same time he closes his eyes to the diabolical acts of the Democratic party in the South in its disfranchisement of colored Americans in that section. O. no, this Western reformer cannot see how colored citizens are being bound at the stake. Such outrages seem to pass his notice. But a primary election in which there is some excitement is characterized as a farce and disgrace. It is not a disgrace to read of or witness the bloody murder or burning of innocent citizens at the stake. Such scenes to the distinguished Senator from Kansas are not sufficient for him to offer a resolution in Congress or ask. for the enactment of a law to protect Negro citizens from mob violence. But if there is a friendly political contest in this city to elect delegates, contrary to the views of the Senator from Kansas, a law must be enacted at once; it is a disgrace. If there must be a franchise law passed, let it be one indeed and in fact. Let the people in this District elect their own public officials. Give them a representative in Congress so that they may have a mouthpiece of their own. The Senator from Kansas should devote his time to the people in his own State. They are more in need of reformation than the citizens of this city are. When a Southern Democrat talks about reform and fair elections, he should bury himself and leave behind him an epitaph that will be a monument to ages. The people of this city are able to represent themselves if they are given the proper protection. PROF. KELLY MILLER Prof. Kelly Miller at Howard University is a success, but when Prof. Miller wants to persuade the students of Howard University to interfere with politics he commits a blunder. The Bee and its editor are greater friends to Howard University than the men on the ticket that Prof. Miller tried to get five hundred students to get to vote the ticket. Howard University is the people's institution, and no man ought to be so partial as to attempt to persuade the students in the institution to vote any particular ticket. The judges at the polls had more sense than Prof. Kelly Miller by not allowing him to vote his students. No man can ride two horses going in opposite directions at the same time, no more than those ministers who indorsed both tickets. Howard University is an institution for the education of the masses, regardless of color, religious or political creed, and when a dean of the college department takes upon himself the responsibility to vote his students for one political candidate, to the detriment of the other, his usefulness as a dean at that institution is at an end. THE REASON WHY. Any man will succeed in life if he is true to his friends. Grant was a success because he never deserted his friends. The editor of The Bee extends his thanks to his many friends for the assistance they gave him in the recent political contest. We succeeded because our friends were loyal and gave us their support. The opposition went so far as to purchase our ticket holders. The brains of many were debauched with whiskey. Notwithstanding, we held our own. The administration is to be congratulated because it made a clean fight. It resorted to no corrupt methods as was resorted to by the other side. Fully three thousand dollars was spent to defeat the administration. The people were with us, and as we said the roth of February would settle it, and so it did. EDITOR HOWZE You can always tell an honorable and upright man. The Bee has always held Editor C. A. Howze in high esteem, because he knows how to forget and forgive. On the front page of The Birmingham, Ala., Wide Awake, a paper edited by Mr. Howze, is a large cut of Judge W. L. Houston, who has been indorsed for Grand Secretary of the Odd Fellows to succeed Mr. James E. Needham. Mr. Needham has made an excellent and competent official, and it is hoped that the B. M. C. will elect him to a higher office. He is entitled to it. Editor Howze is supporting Judge Houston because he believes that he will make a good official. The B. M. C., at its next meeting, to be held in Atlanta, Ga., will be one of the greatest events in the history of the organization. WHISKEY TANK. The principal speaker against the administration ticket was a whiskey tank. This tank discusses his law cases, decides all questions in politics in the bar room. The anti-administration hooters have money to burn. Neither money nor whiskey changed the result last Saturday. Mr. Bieber on more than one occasion publicly rebuked some of his hired orators for the personalities they indulged in. That was commendable. Now that the campaign is a matter of history, and we, the editor of this newspaper, entertain no hard feelings for our opponents, we are free to offer this advice to Dr. Wilder: The next time you engage in a contest for the support of the people greater results may follow if you leave the muckrake at home, and simply tell of your own good qualities, if you possess any. The editor of this newspaper takes occasion and this means of thanking all those stanch friends who either worked for or voted for him last Saturday. He cannot forget the fidelity of friends; their generous support and their vote of confidence. He proposes to not abuse the confidence reposed, or forget the friendship displayed. To each and all he returns sincerest thanks. That the renomination of President Taft is assured is shown in the haste shown by many to climb aboard the bandwagon. All opposition, and most of it was imaginary; is rapidly fading away. Insurgents and standpatters, progressives and conservatives, by whatever name you care to designate the factions, are rounding to the conclusion that Republican success, this fall, can only be assured by the renomination and election of President Taft. By another month the West and the East will be shoulder to shoulder, forming a solid Taft phalanx. Dr. Washington Speaks at Metropolitan (Continued, from page 1.) (Continued from page 1.) Southern States there are few Negro beggars, few Negro paupers. The unfortunate are cared for through the secret organizations and the church. This, in a larger degree, is true of our race than any other race in the same relative degree of civilization in this or any other country. The Building of the Temple. "I am glad to take note of the preparations to erect a large and substantial building that will be headquarters for secret organizations, and the plans to provide accommodations for business enterprises that are owned and operated by our race. This is most praiseworthy and encouraging. The erection of this building should command the hearty good will and the generous support of all our people in the District of Columbia. What the Temple Means to Our Business Life. "The creation of this building will mean a new era in the business life of the Negro in Washington. In proportion to the number of black people in the District of Columbia, and in proportion to the amount of money they handle, the race here has not gone into business to the extent that is true of our brethren in the Southern States. You have here a Negro population of about 90,000. That is enough black people to constitute a city within itself. This means that you have as many black people here as there are persons in Lynn, Mass., Dallas, Tex.: Hartford, Conn.; San Antonio, Tex.: Trenton, N.J.; or Springfield, Mass. I repeat then, that you have within our race here a city within itself, aside from the white race. Bright Lights Adorn the Platform. Among those occupying seats on the platform were: J.C. Napier, W.

I felt like a real American citizen last Saturday when I cast my first vote since four years ago. The absence of a cafe de liquor or a "speak-easy" out in the classic, maladorous, and cullyflower atmosphere precincts of LeDroit Park, and the presence of North Pole weather made things rather dull in the vicinity of Fourth and Elm, where we citizenry made the American eagle scream by voting, all same people in the States. But say, coming down to this voting business, if we had suffrage in this here District of Columbia the Bureau of Printing and Engraving would have to run over-time, the day before, printing dollar bills. I never saw such a demand for those beautiful bits of green paper bearing Napier's name, and never saw so few of them in existence as on last Saturday. From a financial standpoint, it was a quiet election. The Money Trust, which the Democritus propose to investigate, was as elusive around the voting places as an active mosquito in August. Everybody was on a still, active, persistent and eager hunt for the sight of a legal tender, and a whole lot of uncorruptible mahoganies were just stigging for a bit of moisture that had the aroma of Mount Vernon rye. One fellow said to me, said it pathetically, and with tears streaming down his dark visage "I dum walk clear here from South Washington to vote, and now I got to walk clear back again wid out a peek at even two-bits, and wid out a smell of a little gin, and even wid out being 'lowed to vote. Why, lections we have in our lodge is moa 'lection-like den d'lection.' I asked him what lodge he belonged to, and he replied, "de Knights of Gessemean." But getting back to the election, if Tightwaddo, who has been known to jump overboard in the ocean to save a fifty-cent polo hat, ever runs for delegate in this district his spending will make this election show up like a faded memory. There just was no money to be had, and that is a pretty good sign that it was a fair, square vox populi. I had one awfully bad "two-for" cigar, and a dozen promises given me, and "that's all." I ran into Bob Douglas the other evening over at Jones' Havana retreat, where I stopped to buy me a flor del fuma of the five-cent variety, and had a little chat with him—n'tin' seen Bob for several weeks. When I looked at that base-drum he is developing, those puffed out cheeks, and that double-jointed chin, I couldn't help but recall that about a year ago we were taking up a collection to have money ready to buy flowers to lay on Bob's grave. At that time he looked like a minute man on a hurry run to leave us, but now he looks like a permanent man on the job, figuring out how many will be here with him fifty years hence. Speaking about Bob, reminds me that in his day, and he sure had some days, it took a royal flush to beat him. With the ladies, he was Mr. Ikem. With the boys he was "Bob Goodold-scout." If Bob Douglas wasn't in it, the thing was a failure. Talk about getting up a dance, or any affair, at which the wee bits of feminine sweets were the most Monkdemonk and you might just as well talk about making a Goat alley belle queen of May at a reunion of Washington's negroes' upper four hundred. But the old scout is getting very blame the now, and has banished society to the limbo of our assemblies when I had just finished waltzing with a hummingbird (and I use to think myself some more waltzer too), she said to me, in skiddo tone of voice, "don't Bob Douglas waltz divinely?" A few moments later Bob walked over to where we were standing, with all the pomp of Abe Hummel before his conviction, and quizzically said to my hummingbird, "Howfor the next waltz?" Well, sir, she grabbed his arm, shot a sisterly smile over her left shoulder to me, and remarked in a deviled crab tone of voice, "Mr. Humpty Dumpty, I want you to watch how Bob and I waltz." Well to be candid, for two months you would have thought I had the mumps every time Bob and I met. My feelings were wounded, and my pride outraged. I knew Bob was a bear at dancing, but didn't think he had anything on me. And I knew that he was candy and peaches and ice cream with the ladies, but I thought I was some confectionary with them myself—me and Sum Wormell. And this particular hummingbird had a charm for me, and yet right on the ball room floor she gave me a plate of slaw and handed Bob a velvet look. But those old days have gone now. Bob's a little worse for wear, and bone spina is bothering me a little. That hummingbird, who had a form like the Queen of Sheba, liquid eyes, that made a fellow buy American beauty and marmet rose when selling at and whose coquettish voice dumped into a fellow's ears made him think he had a ticket that would draw the grand prize in the Louisiana lottery, now has a form of cook's, has a smile that is shot to pieces, with wrinkles, and some heirs to an estate that's not yet formed that look like entries in a free-for-all. They say of some that "they all look good when far away," but of some of the dreams of loveliness that Bob and I use to waltz with, until time to go home for breakfast. we have to say: "they use to look good at a time that's far away." Bob had it on me a little, in addition to that winning smile, soft punk talk, and premium style of dancing he use to ease over to the night-blooming series of twenty years ago, for he owned a horse and buggy, and in those days if a fellow had a horse and buggy the girls put him on the ground floor with Gould and Vanderbilt. Many a time has Bob driven me to drink by passing me, driving out with one of the favorite hummingbirds, and giving me the Duke of Bath grin as he passed. Remember those days Bob? We had a jolly crowd of fellows around here then, and every fellow of them was right up on his tiptoe—no pewter articles in the bunch. But how time does fly! \*\*\* A few of us were discussing early doctors and dentists the other day, and among the first-comers, we mentioned Dr. Lofton and Dr. Gwathney. The opinion was that both these tooth pullers were holding their own, although they graduated from Howard at a time when all they taught in the school of dentistry up there was how to take a pair of coal tongues and pull a tooth, or take a pair of blacksmith pinchers and move a tooth over. Now there's Doc. Gwathney-old Mr. Get-the-reason—he just shuffles along, keeps pegging away, lets the other fellow run the universe, and regularly gets his. You see him going to his office before breakfast, and leaving it just in time to catch the last car. Never was a spendthrift, like Death Valley Scotty, and yet he was never known to duck to the bath room, when it came his turn to do the honors. He's a natured fellow, until you cross him, and when you cross him he rages just like a Virginian after you have stepped on his cinnamon and booted his bunions, and you know if there is a thing that will make a virginny skin cotton and yell bloody murder, and swear in exclamation points, it just to molest, accidentally or intentionally, those Jersey sweet potato feet of his that are decorated with about four cornets and six over developed bunions. As near as I can recollect, Dr. Lofton and Dr. Gwathney hung out their shingles about the same time. Both are old in the practice, but as come-backers, repeaters and do-it-over-already they are in the freshmen year. They have both worked on me, both on my teeth and my pocketbook, and I find they can do a good job on either. But where Doc. Gwathney got that name of his a mystery. A friend of mine told me that he believed Doc. was just passing through a Virginia plantation one time in the earlier period of his existence, and just "reached" down and picked it up. He says "Gwathney is English. If it's English, what is doc? Don't all answer at once Men's Religious Movement The Men and Religion Forward movement has had the city in its grip since Sunday, February 11.

In spite of the cold weather and slippery pavements to which the average Washingtonian seems to be particularly averse when it comes to venturing out, except when driven by necessity—there was a large and appreciative audience in attendance at the Charlton Organ Recital in the Metropolitan Church on Monday evening last. This was the third of the Artist Recitals given under the auspices of the Washington Conservatory of Music, and was in every way a most flattering testimonial to the high aim of the promoter—Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall. Mr. Melville Charlton holds unquestionable the first place among the organizers of the country, regardless of race or color. The wonderful scope and resource and consequently the manifold difficulties requiring musical qualities, added to long and arduous study of the organ, make of it an instrument not fully appreciated by the majority of our people, for in the proper handling of this, the greatest of all instruments, in that it combines in a unit all the resources of an orchestra, not alone is mere manual technique a requisite, but first of all a good mentality, one which is capable of grasping the conception of the various masters, in which interpretation a rigid technical training of not only the fingers but the feet as well are necessary. Then there is still another step and the most important in organ playing, registration as it is called. This consists in a knowledge of the various stops with their variety of combinations and effects from the thin sylvan note of the oboe to the thunder of the full organ. In his work the other night Mr. Charlton by the wonderful demonstration of his command of this great instrument proved that there is no height he may not aspire to, for he is still young, with the best years of growth and development yet before him. Mr. Charlton's support greatly added to the versatile charm and enjoyment of the evening. Mr. Jeter as a cellist needs no comment or commendation, for in this he stands alone. Miss Ruth Grimshaw and Miss Gladys Fearing, both products of the Washington Conservatory, reflected great credit upon the piano department of the institution. The former played the B Minor Scherzo of Chopin, and the latter a very beautiful composition by Mr. Charlton-Poeme Froeme. Miss Lulu Vere Childress, Washington's favorite contralto, appeared in one number, Chanson D'Amour, by Hollman, and though laboring under a serious handicap as a result of a fall on alighting from her taxi-cab at the entrance the the church, was able none the less to hold the audience under the charm of her artistic singing of the number ascribed to her. Altogether the concert was a most delightful one, representing as great a loss to those who failed to hear it as it was a treat to those in attendance. Class Reunion. Plans have been completed for the fourth annual reunion of the Class of 1907 of Normal School No. 2. The function will take place on the evening of February 23, and will be held at Cafe Martin. About forty persons will take part in the reunion this year. The supper will be served by Martin. The class officers are: J. Moria Saunders, president; Miss J. B. Cole, vice-president; Miss Mattie G. Scurlock, secretary, and Samuel D. Matthews, treasurer. The committee on favors consisting of Misses Sallie Fisher, Edna Murray and Mattie Scurlock, have surprises in store for the class members and friends. ST. LUKE'S IN GARFIELD. An Enjoyable Sociable.

Mrs. Cannon had a room fitted up especially to represent a forest. It consisted of large palms, ferns, trees and evergreens, the floor being covered with grass and moss. This beautiful scenery was the attraction of the evening. Music and games were indulged in. Music was furnished by Mr. Russell Cannon. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. T. W.

The Lincoln-Douglass Day celebration by the Mu-So-Lit Club Friday evening at Martin's, drew out the largest attendance the organization has known in years. The spacious apartments were crowded to the doors at an early hour. In addition to the regular program, the evening was made historic by the visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who, with the Hon. J. C Napier, Register of the Treasury, were escorted to the hall by Mr. R. W. Thompson, corresponding secretary of the club. In the visiting party also was Mr. Nathan Hunt, Dr. Washington's traveling secretary. Dr. Washington gave an illuminating-talk on the saving power of timely literature on the race problem, paying a high tribute to the literary quality of the men who composed the Mu-So-Lit Club, and urging them to not only write helpful matter relating to the progress and possibilities of the Negro, but to utilize every chance to secure a paying market for their productions.

For further particulars plicity of statement and failed to hit the mark demanded by the high-grade publisher in time and timeliness. He said there is always a market for literature worth while, and the Negro writer should strive to put forward matter that the reading public eager to know about. The utterances of the "Wizard." who is himself one of the best-paid authors in the world, were received with many evidences of hearty appreciation. Mr. James LeCount Chesnutt, of the Deanwood school, gave a graphic account of the life and public services of Abraham Lincoln, and Mr. A. Kriger Savoy, of the M Street High School, eloquently eulogized the remarkable career of Frederick Douglass. Twenty-five new members were elected as follows, in accord with the constitutional amendment increasing the limit to one hundred: Hon. J. C. Napier, W. L. Houston, L. M. Hershaw, Dr. A. B. Penn, N.

SHEPARD, res lettel Literary Journal 26 PETER PINDAR'S RUSE His Affliction Enabled the Astute Author to Drive a Good Bargain With His Publishers. Some time about the beginning of the nineteenth century Peter Pindar (Dr. John Wolcott) drove a good bargain with the publishers, Robinson & Walker. While negotiations were under way the author developed an attack of asthma, which was always at its most distressing stage whenever the publishers were present. He was only fifty-seven then, but the publishers decided that their chances were good and agreed to pay him a annuity of £250 instead of a lump sum for his work. Soon after the bond was signed the doctor went to Cornwall, where he recovered his health, and returned to London without any cough, which was far from being a pleasing sight to the persons who had to pay his annuity. One day he called upon Mr. Walker, the manager for the parties, who, surveying him with a scrutinizing eye, asked him how he did. "Much better, thank you," said Wolcott. "I have taken the measure of my asthma; the fellow is troublesome, but I know his strength and am his master." "Oh!" said Mr. Walker gravely, and turned into an adjoining room, where Mrs. Walker, a prudent woman, had been listening to the conversation Wolcott, aware of the feeling, paid a keen attention to the husband and wife and heard the latter exclaim. "There, now, didn't I tell you he wouldn't die? Fool that you've been! I knew he wouldn't die." Peter Pindar survived both the partners—New York Post. and all Malarious indications removed by Elixir Babek, that well known remedy for all such diseases. "I have taken up the three bottles of your 'Elixir Babek,' and have not felt so well and entirely free from pain in limbs for five years. Please send me on dozen more."—Mrs. E. Higgins, Jacksonville, Fla. Elixir Babek 50 cents, all druggists or Kloczewski & Co., Washington, D.

Following a conference last Satur- day with Attorney General Wicker- sham, President Taft granted a re- prieve of ninety-one days to Mattie Lomax, convicted of murdering her husband, the reprieve dating from February 19, on which date the con- demned woman was to have been hanged. The plea for clemency was based on certain alleged irregularities in handling the trial at which the wo- man was convicted, and because there is now pending in the courts a ques- tion as to the propriety of allowing a jury to hand in a yerdiet of guilt, with or without capital punishment, in cases where murder in the first degree has been established. The judges differ in construing this law, ‘and the matter is in the hands of the Court of Appeals for decision. "The action of the President in again reprieving Mrs. Lomax, two ‘previous stays ,of “execution having ‘already been granted, is taken as an indication that there is a willingnes: to give her the benefit of every rea sonable doubt, dnd that she will never be hanged. Public sentiment in the District is vehemently opposed tc putting a woman to death for any cause. Great credit for keeping the case before the President so_effec- tively is due to tlie efforts of Repre- sentative Caleb Powers, of Kentucky, and Lawyer S. D. Truitt, Mrs. Lo max’s counsel. Mrs. Lomax’s health | continues in a precarious state, duc to advanced stage of consumption and it is freely predicted that she i: likely to die before the expiration o} this third reprieve.

Jessie, who is in the Ejghth Grade at the Garnet School, was passing through Towa Circle several days ago when she picked up a handbag which contained several hundred dol- lars worth of jewelry: Earlier in the school year her teacher had cautioned the pupils to observe closely the newspapers whenever they found any- thing.of valuc and to return to the owner*the lost articles or else adver- tise that the same had been found. i obedience to the instructions which she had recelved, Jessie closely watched the papers, and the follow- ing evening observed that the articles which she found had been advertised for She went promptly to the owner and informed her that she had found some jewelry, and asked for a description of that which had been Inst. The lady in question described the jewelry, which tallied with that which Jessie had found. She then de- livered the handbag and jewelry. to the owner, who remunerated her in the sum of $13.00.

Jolinson attacked so-called friends of the, President, mentioning no names, but stressing features of departments managed by these “friends.” Blames Faithless Agents. “Any man can be destroyed. by faithless agents who are in positions of responsibility,” he declared imme- diately after saying the President could not be postmaster general, but must leave department management to others. - Continuing Johnson declared that the Negroes of Anterica were dissatis- fied with the supposed stand taken by the administration in the civil ser- vice, as well as with the judiciary and the construing of the war amend: ments to the constitution. In defense of Taft, he argued that at present_twe important positions, now being filled in the government’s service by Ne- grocs, had never before had a colored man, and that the vast majority o! Negroes believed the Southern policy of the President to be against the black race. , “The individual is dissatisfied be cause he does, not understand that the advancenient ‘of one in a Southerr community might mean the perma nent hurt of the other members o the race in that community. In thi State where one step over the hor der line would plunge us all int wholesale bloodshed and universa gricf, it behooves us to take ever step to maintain race security ani [nee amity.” .
