OYSTERTESTIMONIAL SPLENDID AUDIENCE GREETS CAPTAIN OYSTER. Testimonial a Great Success—Rev. Brooks and Judge Houston vie for Oratorical Honors. The testimonial to Captain James F Oyster, president of the Board of Education, by the colored citizens of the District of Columbia, was held in the 10th Street Baptist Church Wednesday evening, May 22. An audience of about 1,100 people were present, representing the best thought and feeling among the colored people of Washington. A very large percentage of those present were tax payers. Practically all of the old Washington families were well represented. From the moment that Chairman H C Tyson, of the General Committee opened the meeting to the moment Rev. O. L. Mitchell pronounced the benediction, the attention of the audience was notable. Enthusiasm ran high in response to the oratorical brilliance and to the complimentary references to Captain Oyster. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. M. W. Clair, of the Asbury Church. Then Mary Europe played an overture with sare taste and ability. Prof. J. H. Douglass delighted the audience with a violin solo which was so much appreciated that it was followed by prolonged applause; regret was expressed that the artist was so modest as to refuse an encore. Miss M. P. Burrill, of the Armstrong school, recited by request Kipping's "East and West." The thought of this poem is that human character and ability are recognized and honored wherever they are found. Miss Burrill was in excellent voice and her interpretation was highly commended by all of the critics and appreciated deeply by all the plain people. Rev. W. H. Brooks in the course of his address, expressed the feeling of the substantial colored citizens of Washington that Captain Oyster's justice, frankness, and courage has been of the greatest possible benefit to the children in the colored schools. Rev. Brooks brought forth applause from the audience when he stated that one thing of the many things which the citizens admired in Captain Oyster was the fact that he is as fair-minded to the humblest citizen who approaches him as he is the highest. Miss B. L. Chase rendered by special request a piano solo which won golden opinions. Her technique was well nigh perfect. Owing to the failure of a member of the quartet to put in an appearance on account of illness, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley sang one of his beautiful selections to the masterful accompaniment of Mr. Harry Williams. Dr. Wormley was never in better voice, and no artist ever had a more appreciated audience. Dr. Wormley was forced to give an encore, being the only artist who bowed to the recall during the evening. When the presiding officer, Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the U. S. Treasury, introduced Judge W. L. Houston, Mr. Napier said that the Judge had begged him to omit his speech. But the audience was delighted that the Register did not grant the Judge's request. Judge Houston gave a short biographical sketch of Captain Oyster's life, including not only the Captain's achievements in getting grounds and buildings for the colored schools as a member of the board of Education, but also in getting around to third base as a member of the Capitol Hill baseball nine. In his closing remarks, Judge Houston referred to the fact that all who came to Washington stay here as the cause of the high class citizenship of the community. In flaming words of eloquence the speaker paid tribute to the great commoner of the District of Columbia—Captain Oyster. Honorable J. A. Colb presented the report of the Committee on Resolutions. This report was unanimously adopted by a rising vote of the audience. The resolutions read as follows: Resolutions. Washington, D. C. May 22, 1912. Adopted by Representatives of the Colored Citizens of the District of Columbia in Appreciation of the Services of CAPTAIN JAMES F. OYSTER, President of the Chamber of Commerce and President of the Board of Education. Whereas, The Capital of the Nation is a great community of rich and poor, of white and black, in which the just solution of the entangled human problems and the very tone of civic life depend largely upon the quality of leadership displayed by the ablest men; and Whereas, James Frederick Oyster has attained a leadership to which his fellow-citizens are proud to bow in respect, by alert and steadfast loyalty to the common good, by courageous honesty, by instinctive democracy; and Whereas, Captain Oyster's public service has been cramped by no distinctions of wealth or race or color, but has known only the individual man and his merit and human justice; and Whereas, This good man had devoted his personality, his great energies, and his courage to the vital task of making all the schools of all the children of all the people in this District as good as the best in the land; therefore Be it Resolved, That the colored citizens of Washington do express their sincere and lasting appreciation to James F Oyster, do assert that of right is he called "the great Commander of the District of Columbia," do bear witness to the fact that in deed and in truth he has lived up to his principle that "the best is none too good for our children," and do indulge the hope that even at some further sacrifice of comfort and of dollars he may still heed the call of duty-and continue his services as president of the Board of Education Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions he engrossed and transmitted to Captain Oyster. After being presented with a beautifully engrossed copy of the resolutions by Mr. Colb (who took advantage of the opportunity to deliver an admirable extemporaneous speech), Captain Oyster was presented to the audience and was received with prolonged applause. The applause lasted at least five minutes, during which time the Captain was visibly embarrassed because of his modesty. He introduced his remarks with a few very pointed and delightful references to the creators of the evening and then proceeded to take their laurels away from them by winning laurels for himself. Captain Oyster spoke in part as follows: "When a man undertakes to serve the public he ought to realize that the greatest reward he can ever receive is the esteem and appreciation of the public. You have given me tonight this most precious reward, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. "You have given me an opportunity to tell you what my educational credo is, and I am going to use the opportunity. "I believe in absolutely equal opportunities for all the children of all the people. "I believe in such a type and such a scope of education for every child as will develop his own powers to the utmost limit. "I believe in free public education, so that the children of the poor and the children of the rich may work and learn side by side, and catch the true American spirit. "I believe that a complete elementary education is the minimum preparation for citizenship in a democracy." "I believe in free high schools, because a democracy may not safely leave the education of its leaders to accident, and genius springs often from the cottage as from the palace. "I believe in academic high schools and in high schools of the mechanic arts; and most emphatically I believe in high schools that lay the foundations of business careers. "I believe in free normal schools because the State may not intrust its children to teachers whose training is not the very best that can be obtained. "I believe in free vocational training, not only for teaching, and for business, but also for the common trades and industries, since public schools, must serve not merely the classes, but primarily the masses." Continuing Captain Oyster stated that he believes in training girls for home-making, in physical education, in vocation schools, in liberal appropriations for school buildings and grounds, in higher salaries for school teachers, in pensions for school teachers, the merit system for employees in the schools from janitor to superintendent, in keeping the school in intimate touch with all the people as the people's schools, that American schools should teach Americanism and a practical devotion to the doctrine of "the square deal." At Justice Robert H. Terrell's timely suggestion, Chairman Napier called upon Superintendent of Schools Dr. W. M. Davidson, to come to the platform and say a few words. Dr. Davidson was received with great enthusiasm and he spoke with great tact and felicity. One of the most delightful incidents in the program was the speech in which Mrs. A. M. Curtis presented to Captain Oyster a magnificent bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Curtis' words were well chosen, and the sentiments expressed were obviously those of the audience. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. O. L. Mitchell, of St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church, after which Captain Oyster shook hands with almost every member of the great audience. The Richards Literary Club. The Richards Literary Club met at the residence of Miss Louise Evans, 2149 L Street, Northwest, on last Thursday. Arrangements were made for a closing program on May 30, at the residence of Miss H. J. Moore, 1834 13th Street. Mr Pinkett, the president, will lecture on his recent trip through Central and South America with Secretary of State Mr. Knov. Men and women prominent in educational and literary circles will be invited. Men's Club of Asbury M. E. Church Elegion The Men's Club of Ashbury M. E.

The South and the Negro—What is Being Done for Him—The Editor at Dr. Shepard's School—A Great Day at Durham—Remarkable Progress of the National Religious Training School. Special to The Bee. Durham, N. C., May 19. I arrived here this morning and was driven to the home of Dr. James E. Shepard. I have been religiously inclined all day. I attended White Rock Baptist Church Sabbath school, the church of which Rev. A. Shepard, the father of Dr. Shepard, was pastor. There are fully 500 pupils in this school. It is the largest Sabbath school in Durham. Dr. Moore is the superintendent. He is a wide-awake man. After Sabbath school I remained to church and baptizing, and would have remained to the business meeting of the church had I been permitted. The church is about to call a new pastor. When Rev. Shepard died he left the people obedient to his wishes. He was one man the people loved. Every effort was made to have Dr. J. E. Shepard succeed his distinguished father, but his school would not permit him. This will be. A Holiday Week with the people here. Dr. Shepard's school is largely attended by the people, and then it is a kind of a holiday. Services will be held up to Thursday night. The coming of Assistant U. S. Attorney W. H. Lewis is looked for with a great deal of anxiety. -The baccalaureate sermon by Rev. W. R. Smith, was a practical one, and was listened to with great interest. Tonight Dr. Shepard addressed the undergraduates. He seems to be a drawing card whenever he is announced to speak. His address was full of advice and good service. The people of Durham are grateful to the citizens of Washington for their treatment of Dr. Shepard last March, when they gave him a public and private reception. There is an envious set that doesn't like the idea of Dr. Shepard receiving such an ovation upon his first public appearance in the city. I have met several of the hustlers and men of note who are leading the Negro business, namely, Messrs. Spaulding, Merritt, Dr. Moore, Amy and others, who give their undivided support to this great school. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, of New York, will deliver the commencement address to the graduates. The graduating class is larger this year than it was last. I was invited to dine with the students this evening. My escort was Mrs. Shepard, a very accomplished lady. There are about one hundred twenty students, here now. Many have gone home for the summer. One of the most commendable things in this school is, the young ladies are taught to work. Miss M. B. Savage has charge of this department. She knows her business. Miss Ella J. Jackson, of Malden, Mass., is also a successful teacher. There are two Washingtonians here, Misses Childs and Porter. They are making good as teachers. Dr. Childs will address the public schools here shortly. W. C. C. Conservatory Commencement. Commencement of Washington Conservatory of Music at Howard Theater Saturday, June 15, at 8 o'clock P. M., supported by the Washington Conservatory Choral Society. Given a Testimonial by the Citizens Baptist Church, Wednesday Evening Secretary Stimson Speaks—Interesting Exercises. The Young Men's Christian Association, Twelfth street branch, threw open its doors last Sunday after a very appropriate and interesting dedication program. The big massive doors were thrown open and the extras were held on the steps leading to the entrance. Hon. Henry Lewis Stimson was the speaker on the day, and delivered a very appropriate address. He congratulated the men on their achievements and on the fact that it had been substantially built with the labor of the colored race. He stated in closing, that the Young Men's Christian Association would prove to be a wonderful agency for uplift and that the community was fortunate in having it established. Mr. Richard C. Morse, of the Y. M. C. A., International Committee, New York City, spoke, bringing a greeting from the brotherhood of the Young Men's Christian Association of America. Mr. Ben Davies, a member of the Polytechnic Y. M. C. A., of London, England, brought the greetings from that association. He made a strong plea for the men to give their lives in Christian Service. About 10,000 inspected the building after the opening, and the beautiful structure, with its equipment, was the constant admiration of the throng. The officers of the association were kept busy receiving the congratulations of the many people who visited the building. The program is scheduled to last throughout the week. On Monday morning, the allied Ministers' Union of the city held a meeting in the new gymnasium. Rev. Jarvis presided. After the address of welcome by Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, the secretary of the branch, addresses were made by Dr. A. C. Garner, Rev. J. Milton Waldron. Prof. W. V. Tunnell, Rev. E. Tperkins, Miss Lucy Moten, Dr. J. E. Moreland. On Monday night, addresses were made by Mr. Wm. N. Wood, secretary at Philadelphia, and Mr. W. H. Morris, secretary at Baltimore. Mr. W. H. Porter, secretary of the Colored Men's Branch of Philadelphia, brought greetings from that branch. The Red Cap Porters' Association attended the meeting in a body, and it was stated that they are going to act as the Y. M. C. A reception committee at the Union Station. Further remarks were made by Mr. R. P. Hamlin, Mr. H. W. Chase, a S500 contributor, and Dr. J. E. Moreland. "Tuesday night, the first Separate Battalion, N. G. D. C., attended in a body and rendered a program entitled 'A Day in Camp,' starting with the raising of the flag, and going through with mess call, fatigue, athletic exercises, jblanket initiation, and revellie. Addresses were made by Mr. S. W. Woodward, Thomas H. Clark, and Judge Robert H. Terrell. Wednesday night, an athletic exhibition was given under the direction of Mr. W. H. J. Beckett, physical director. A team of apparatus experts from the Central Association gave a very enjoyable exhibition Big times are looked for on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Thursday night is fraternal night. Friday night will be known as school night, and Saturday night will be Ladies' night, under the auspices of the C. Y. W. C. A. Sunday, May 26, a big men's meeting will be addressed by Rev. M. W. Clair. HON HENRY L. STIMSON, Secretary of War, Representing President Taft, Takes Part in Dedication of Building—Services During Week. Representing President Taft, Secretary of War Stimson assured a large crowd which assembled in front of the new colored branch of the M. C. A., in Twelfth street last Sunday afternoon to take part in the dedication of the new building, of his sincere interest in their work and his deep and lasting feeling for the young men for whose benefit the building had been erected. Mr. Stimson's Speech. "Mr. Chairman, my friends—and I may say I see among your faces some special friends whom I see,every day in the Department; "I thank you sincerely for this opportunity to share with you in the dedication of this building. I deeply appreciate the honor which that confers upon me, and I appreciate still further the honor of representing here my Chief, President Taft. You well know of his deep and sincere and lasting interest in this work, and I think you all know of his assistance in obtaining, for the construction of this building, the very large and generous gift which made its construction possible. I can only say that that effort on his part only represents his deep and lasting feeling of the significance of this movement, and his interest in the young men for whom this building is to be dedicated. I have never known a man who was more free from prejudice of class or section or race than President Taft, and I have never known a man whose interest in the welfare of the young men, and the young men who share in the Young Men's Christian Association outlying possessions and in our outlying possessions and in their occasion. I want to congratulate you first on what you have done towards the creation of this building—what has been done by the colored people of this city and this land. I want to congratulate you on the fact that this magnificent building, which I have just inspected, in its design, is the work of the brain of a colored architect, Mr. Pittman. I want to congratulate you on the fact that it has been substantially built by the labor of your own race and your own hands. There is a message of hope for all of us in our common country. We have face to face with us a problem that is national, that is American and we must meet it under the grace of God—like Americans. "When, a few months ago, the flag was raised on the top of this building, we who sit here in the doorway could not see that flag, but we knew it was going up by the glory that was reflected in your faces. Let that be an emblem for us here, in the glory of our common citizen-hip, under that flag and under God. May this institution represented by this building go on towards a good and grand citizenship." The programme was introduced by a vocal service, after which H. W. Porter, secretary of the colored Y. M. C. A., of Philadelphia, read extracts from Scripture. Prayer was offered by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, and the Amphion Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Lewis E. Johnson, rendered a number of selections. Dr. George Otis Smith, president of the Y. M. C. A., was introduced by E. J. Morton, chairman of the colored branch, and congratulated the members and their friends who had assisted in the work. William Knowle-Cooper, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and R. C. Morse also spoke. Is Well Equipped. The building contains four floors and a basement, and has a fully equipped gymnasium, swimming pool, library, committee rooms, class rooms, restaurant, kitchen, howling alley, pool and billiard rooms, barber shop, Turkish bath, locker room, game room, assembly hall, and other facilities. The total cost was $100,000 and the corner stone was laid by former President Roosevelt, November 26, 1907. RUCKER SUPPORTS DIXON What the Georgia Contestant Said—His Visit to The Bee Office—How He Was Trapped and What He Said. R. A. Rucker, of Georgia, the contestant anti-administration delegate from Georgia, said in an interview in the Atlanta Georgian and News is reported to have said that W. Calvin Chase came to hints etc. Rucker has only published a part of what he said. The Editor of The Bee was all that Saturday looking for certain information which he had to secure. About 3'clock in the afternoon Rucker phoned to The Bee office and asked if Mr. Chase was in. He was out at the time, and he was so informed. However, he came in the evening ostensibly to pay his yearly subscription for The Bee, which he paid promptly after a few exchange of words. Mr. Chase readily saw that Rucker was the man from whom the required information could be obtained. His hair was curled, and with a soft powder brush, the Editor delicately asked certain questions which were readily answered. The Georgian was caught in the trap. He was easy to pump. He went so far as to abuse Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson and his supporters, and what he intended or (Continued to page 4.)

In Italy Dealers Have Brought the Art of Forgery ef Old Curios” to Perfection, __ There are dealers in curios, a crafty set of tradesmen, all over Europe, but it is in Italy that they have carried the art of deceit nud forgery, the substitu- tion of modern products for ancient, to the acme of perfection. Verona, Ven- fice, Siena and Rome swarm with shops in which lurk these dealers in the antique, and they are keen to spot any American that may pass their way. Next to the American in gulll- bility is the Englishman, but be does not so freely give up his money. Sir James Yorall, the English con- noisseur, thus describes one of these dealers: “He knew how to crackle new |tvories by boiling them Iike eggs, how to cook new pictures in the oven, how to smoke new prints and how to green new bronzes with nitrate of potas- sium. It was so amusing to see the things age in a minute! He would bring a new earthenware dish out of the over, burning hot, and plunge It into Iced oil; result, contraction, chill— chilbiatns, so to speak—and the enamel all cracked into the wrinkles of age. ‘And then he would rub the surface ‘upon a dirty paving stone till signs of wear and tear appeared that might out- wit anybody. “As for pictures, it was easy to find an old canvas or an old panel for a Lo- ‘enzo. It was when the artist’s work was over that the real science and art ‘began—first of all, a wash of var- nish that had been colored with sepia; ‘bext, on the more raised portions, rub- -bings with Icorice juice to attract the files.

The dean and chapter of St. ‘Paul's cathedral can also lay claim to a simi- lar privilege, with the right, in addl- tion, to brew thelr own beer. Paul's brew house formerly stood at the cor- ner of the entrance to Doctor's com- mons from the churchyard, and an av- erage of between 60,000 and 70,000 gal- lons. of “strong ale’ were brewed there every year.

Slavery Ungered in the Scottish mine until the very eve of the nine- teenth century. Mr.’ Huckwood, in “The Good Old Times,”- draws 3 ples ture of the Scottish miner's unhappy tot In the past; “From about tbe year 1445 until 1775 the miners of Scotland were bought and sold with the soil. It js stated Iu old chronicles that bloodhounds were kept to trace them if they left their employment and to aid in bringing them back. By statute law miners were bound to work all days In the year except Paschal and Yule, and if they did not work they Were to be ‘whipped in the bodies for the glory of God and for the good of their masters.’ Not until 1775 was the first law passed in an attempt to better this state of things, but it was 1799 ere the law gave the working miner of Scotland his complete freedom."—Lon- don Chronicle. The Word “Teresa” “Terse” is a word’ that has an under- stood meaning nowadays. Shadwell in the fourth uct of “The‘Humorists” (1671) put this question into the mouth of one of his characters: “Must I stay ‘till by the strength of terse claret you have wet yourself into courage?" It is probably an allusion to what is still sometimes called “Dutch courage”— bravery inspired by alcohol. Claret was in those times imported -in “tlerces,” and “terse” may be a con- densed form of that word; also “terse claret” may have been a drink that did its business without any circumlo- cation, like the terse speaker or writer.

Wi, Washington, D. C. Incident of the Great Naval Battle Off Santiago. The Thundering Boom of the Oregon's Big Gum in Opening the Attack on Corvera's Fleet Proved Too Much For the Nerves of the Old Vateran. "It's a remarkable thing," said the captain, "that almost always in any great event of exciting experience, even one in which human lives are involved, there is likely to be some little minor feature with a humorous side to it that will call forth a smile, if not a sudden burst of laughter. It seems as if in such trying moments one's feelings seek a quick vent and seize upon any little incident as a safety valve." This particular piece of philosophy was expressed by the grim old captain of our steamer as we were lazily churning along the lower coast of Florida. "I never get down on these southern sens," continued the captain, "without thinking of that 3d of July, 1893, when our fellows pushed the Spanish fleet up on the shore after their attempt to steal out of Santiago harbor. "I was first officer of the Dasher, one of the auxiliary steamers that the government had chartered and rushed into service. We had been engaged in carrying provisions from Tampa down to the ships of the fleet, and it was ticklish business, too, because no one really know up to the last few days just where the Spanish fleet actually was, and we expected to be overhauled and captured almost any time. This particular trip had been an eventful one, and after rounding Cape Malibu, on the eastern end of Cuba, we soon sighted our splendid fleet of fighters ranged in that fatal semicircle round the entrance of Santiago like a pack of hounds watching for a fox to come out of his hole. It was a great sight. I tell you! The smoke was lazily curling up out of each stack, showing that steam was up and everything ready for the spring from the leash the moment the fox showed his head. "We had our orders and in a short time were close alongside the big old Oregon, which, you remember, had just made that wonderful trip round the Horn to take part in the fracas. I don't believe there ever was a hotter day even in the tropics than this Sunday, the 3d of July. Things were simply sizzling everywhere, and the ocean itself seemed to be steaming. "After we had warped alongside and the crew had begun carrying aboard the consignment of bread, potatoes, onions and other stuff I stepped into the captain's room to see if I could get any comfort out of the electric fan which was working overtime. I had just spoken to old Admiral, the captain's pet tomcat—and a huge fellow he was—who was lying on the floor stretched out as wide as possible, fairly gasping for air, when, holy mackerel, there were a concussion and a deafening roar which sent me sprawling and nearly knocked my head off. All I remember seeing that instant was a big cat going almost to the ceiling, with a tall as big around as a grapefruit and every leg, claw and hair standing straight out. The Oregon had let go one of its big forward turret guns right alongside of us, for the Spanish fox had started out of its hole. "In just one instant everything on earth in the way of activity seemed to be doing. I rushed to the door, and the thing that caught my eye was that old tomcat going nft on the upper deck like a streak of greased lightning, with every sail set to catch the wind and firmly clawing at the deck in his effort to make time. "In almost less time than it has taken to tell you that one shot had grown into a deafening roar from almost every gun in the fleet that could bear on the fox. Our lashings had been cut loose, and away went the fleet in that dramatic rush to victory for us and death to the Spanlarda. "As my captain and I stood on the bridge, and watched the sight he turned to me and said: 'Knight, I'm an old man and haven't but a few years more to live at best. I'll give the rest of my years to see this fight to the finish, and, by the gods, I'm going to follow 'un!' And he gave the signal for full speed ahead. "Say, but that was a sight! No man who saw it will ever forget it. The race was all in front of us, the Spanards running for cover and putting up the best sight they could in their half baked condition and our fellows plugging them fast and furiously. "We followed until the fight was all over and then came about to return to Santiago. The captain gave orders to serve supper in the officers' mess, for neither of us in the excitement of the day had thought a thing about eating. As we sat down to our meal he turned to me and said: 'Knight, have you seen my old tomcat Admiral? I've hunted for him all over the ship.' "Well, I replied, pulling out my watch and looking at it, 'if he has kept up the pace he was making when I saw him last going aft on the upper deck he's due in about six minutes now on his third lap around the world.' "We never did see old Admiral again, and the captain mourned him till his dying day."—Frank Presbrey in Chicago Record-Herald. ABDUE BAHA Revolution in Religious Worship. On Tuesday, April 23d, Abdue Baha, the venerable Persian, leader of the Baha movement, which has several millions of followers throughout the world, and is attracting considerable attention in Washington, addressed the student and faculty of Howard University. The occasion was impressive and most interesting, as in flowing Oriental robes this speaker gave his message. He was received with such fervor that the breathless silence during his address was followed by prolonged applause, causing him to how his acknowledgments and give a second greeting. His address has been reported for The Bee as follows: Today I am most happy, for I see here a gathering of the servants of God. I see the white and the colored people together. In the estimation of God there is no distinction of color. All are unicolored. There is one color, and that is the color of service—servitude to God. Color is not important. The heart is all-important. If the heart be pure, if it be white, no matter what color be the exterior it will have no effect. God does not look at colors and differences of hue, but He looks at the hearts. He whose morals are good and praiseworthy, he is to be preferred. He who is more devoted to the kingdom is more to be loved. In the realm of genesis the question of color is of the lowest importance. We find in the mineral kingdom variegated objects, and there we find no strife amongst them. In the vegetable kingdom we find also distinct hues. We find the variegated flowers, but they do not have any strife amongst them. Nay, rather, the very fact that there is a difference in the colors of the vegetable kingdom lends a charm to the garden. Were all to be of one color, it would be exceedingly unpleasant. But when you enter into a rose garden and you and various flowers of different hues, you indeed have before you a spectacle of charm. And the world of humanity is akin to that garden, and humanity, the various races, are the various flowers of that garden. These various colors are the very means of adornment and decoration for that garden. Likewise, when we observe in the animal kingdom we find there the various colors. Just watch a flock of doves, and see how varied in color they are. But they are in perfect peace, and they deeply love one another. They never look at the difference of color, nor do they have a basis of discord therefor. They look at the kind. They know that the kind is one. Very often it happens that a white dove soars together with a black one. Likewise all the other animals. They live in the utmost state of peace and accord. They are not separated because of color. Their gaze is extended to the unity of the race and the oneness of the kind. And this is so in the animal kingdom, where we do not expect intelligence or reason! There we do not find this difference or distinction of color. How is it permissible—how is it allowed that in the human kingdom there shall be any consideration of color or any distinction whatever with regard to it? There, in the human kingdom, where there is reason, it is not at all allowable. Especially when we recall that the white and colored have come from the same source. They belong to the same household. In origin they have been one. They have been one in quality. For Adam was one and was not of two colors, and his help-meet, Eve, did not have two colors, and all humanity as far as our sacred history is concerned is traceable to that family. Therefore the origin is one. These distinctions of color have crept in afterward. Therefore they are all not good. Therefore today I am exceedingly glad to see some of the white and to see the colored people here gathered together, and I hope the day will come when there shall be no distinction. When they shall live together in the utmost peace and accord and unity and fellowship. But I wish to say one thing, and that is of importance, so that the colored people may also appreciate the white people, and that the whites may be duly kind to the colored, and that is this: that you, the colored population of the United States of America, are not probably fully informed of your brethren in Asia and Africa. Were you to recall the conditions in Africa, you would see that you are most fortunate, for, praise be to God, you are not in a state or position to have any difference between you. There is not much difference in the attainments. But the colored population of Africa still owing to the lack of opportunity of education, they are not worthy even of being your own servants! And let us recall the fact that the first proclamation of liberty of freedom from slavery was accomplished in this continent! They went into war for the sake of the colored. They were forfeiting possessions and sacrificing lives therefore in order that the colored might be freed from bondage of the whites, and this has had its tremendous effects upon the The American Home Life Insurance 5th and G STREETS, N.

The colored people of Africa were in a most terrible state of bondage, and the European Powers, emulating the American altruism, accomplished a proclamation of universal liberty. So you were the means here of liberating your fellow-beings elsewhere, and this effort on the part of the white people in America should never be lost sight of, and therefore you must be very grateful and must be very kind to the whites here. And the white people in this country should be most happy and pleased and grateful to you, so that both may develop in the degrees of altruism and of humanitarianism. May you be further drawn together with the whites in order that extraordinary development may be accomplished by you and in order that fellowship may become a reality, a true fact, among you. In short, you must be grateful to the whites, for they were liberators of your people not only in this country, in the continent of America, but elsewhere, in Africa. Were it not for your friends here, one can see that freedom elsewhere would not have been present. But now, praise be to God, the bondage has passed away and the white and colored are both free from it, and I pray in your half that you may develop and advance in the degrees of ethics and morality. That you may achieve such a superlative degree of it that there shall be no name other than one human kind. Just as we apply the term "flock of doves." We do not say the colored doves and the white doves. We say doves. We apply the name horse, for example, to the horse kingdom, so to speak. We do not say colored horses and white horses. No such distinction of color is realizable. We do not have any distinction among the deers or gazelles. There is no such name as white or colored deer. And my hope is this, that we may advance to such a degree, and this can be accomplished through love and fellowship. Therefore, strive yourselves also and put forth efforts toward the accomplishment of this fellowship, so that the greatest bond may be achieved, and this cannot be done without effort on your part, namely, expressions of gratification and expressions of kindness and altruism on the part of the other. Each one should endeavor to develop and assist the other. They must endeavor to help you in your advancement. They must assist in your development. And this is feasible only from your joining heartily and being inclined toward this advancement. This will be conducive to love and unity, and you will be the means of bringing about real unity amongst mankind. For the colored and the whites should accomplish this unity, then the world's peace and accord will be assured! Then racial prejudice, national prejudice, patriotism of the limited sort and religious bias will remain no longer. I am very pleased to see you at this gathering, white and dark, and I praise God that I have had the pleasure of being here where the two are gathered together and where they are loving each other. And this I can see is the means of the glory of humanity. This is the means of the good pleasure of God! This is the means of the eternal bliss in the kingdom of God! Therefore I pray in your behalf that you may attain to the fullest degree of love, and that the day may come when all differences shall cease. Incorporated Under Act of Congress Approved June26,1887 CAPITAL and ASSETS over $50,000.00 100 THE LEXINGTON HOTEL THE LEXINGTON HOTEL A Great Colored Hotel at Last The colored Americans are to have an up-to-date first-class hotel with every modern convenience with buffet, barbershop, kitchen, billiard parlors, 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. THE LEXINGTON HOTEL. The Front Entrance Will be on L St. The entrance to the Rathskeller will be on L street or main entrance leading to the basement. The Rathskeller will be fitted up equal to any in the United States. the L street entrance. The Buffet Cannot be Surpassed. The dining-room which will be large and commodious with a seating capacity for one hundred and fifty guests. The barber shop will be managed by a first class tonsorial artist with every modern convenience. The billiard parlor, office, lobby and waiting room will be unsurpassed. The waiting parlor will be on the first floor, handsomely furnished. There Will be Thirty-Eight Large Airy Bed Rooms and Nine Baths. There will be at least two private bath rooms connected with the suite of rooms on the second and third floors. The Lexington Will be Conducted on the Basis of Any Up To Date First Class Hotel. The banquet hall which is so much needed in this city for the accommodation of first class visitors and patrons will be one of the features of this hotel. The automobile will run to and from the Union Station to the hotel for the accommodation of the guests. This has been just what the city has needed for a long time for the Colored Americans, who visit here. Whenever a person intends to visit the city, a card to the manager of the hotel will be promptly re- sponded to, and the guest or guests be driven immediately to the hotel in the hotel's automobile which will meet any train that comes into the Union Station or Steamboat wharf. The erection of this hotel in the city of magnificent distances will be an honor as well as a benefit to the colored people. Almost any city in the South has a first class hotel and the people in Washington have determined not to be behind in meeting the demands of strangers and visitors. Capital Stock The company is incorporated with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, of this amount the company has decided to sell fifteen thousand dollars of it. A greater opportunity has never been offered the people of this city, who are enterprising and wish a good investment. The Sole Manager. is Mr. Nathaniel Ruffin, a well known citizen of Washington, who is known to the president of the United States, to the cabinet officers and other public men of character and influence. He needs no introduction to the people, because he is prominently connected with some of the best, strongest, and leading organizations in the city. For honesty and integrity and influence among his people no better man could have been selected for the position of manager. The country is asked to keep its eyes on The Bee for advertisement and full particulars, of the opening of this new up-to-date hotel and for other particulars address Nathaniel Ruffin, manager, the Lexington Hotel, 21st and L street, N.W., Washi-ghton, D C.

A drama, "The Three Bears," was played, to the satisfaction of the over-crowded house. Misses Justine Wilkes and E. L. Welch, the teachers, proved themselves worthy of the full confidence of all the patrons and friends of the school. They have been elected and will be among the teachers for the school year 1912-1913. There is a great demand for the drama given by the school to be repeated. The teachers have consented. The exercises will be held at the M. E. Church June 7, 1912. Fairmount Heights and vicinity demonstrated beyond a doubt that they know the real value of the public school and that they appreciate the good work which is being accomplished by the teachers and the trustees. The Catholics of Deanwood and their friends from Washington gave a concert at the public hall, May 16, under the leadership of Mrs. Smart. They cleared more than one hundred dollars. The teachers and senior class of the M. E. Church Sunday school gave a concert at the church Friday night, May 17, and realized quite a sum for the benefit of said church. Rev. O. C. Sprague, the worthy pastor, has moved into Fairmount Heights, and is stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Coalman. The quarterly conference has been called to meet June 10, 1912, at which time Rev. Dr. Williams, the District superintendent will be home from the General Conference, which is holding its sessions in Minneapolis, Minn., during this month. Rev. E. P. Thomas, the energetic pastor of Central M. E. Church, preached at the church here Sunday May 12 at 3 o'clock, and Thursday night, May 16. His choir sang. The sermons, songs and collections were of the highest character. He agreed to "come back" June 9, a 3 o'clock. Like Rev. Dr. M. W. Clair and many of the city pastors, Rev. E. P. Thomas believes in doing all he can to extend the borders of the grand old church. If this missionary spirit was more deeply felt by more of the pastors of the well-established M. E. Churches throughout the Washington conferences, the banner of Methodism would float from every hill top and cross road. May the spirit of the blessed Christ and St. Paul take full possession of all our pastors that they may reach out and save their weak brethren who are struggling and struggling to extend the borders of the church.

The committee appointed sometime ago to confer with Congressman Thos. Parran relative to legislation providing for the opening up of the District Boulevard from the Sheriff Road eastward to Chesapeake Junction; and 61st street from the District Boulevard southward to Central Avenue, met at the home of the chairman Friday night, May 11, and formed the basis of their petition and transacted such other matters as were properly brought before the same. The committee is composed of Messrs. Frank Coalman, chairman; Eugene L. Silence, secretary; Thomas N. Brown, W. S. Pittman, W. O. Dawson, S. M. Lewis and B. H. Harris. The new bank at Chesapeake Junction, which Hon. Francis S. Carmody is the president, is progressing nicely with its bank building. It is the hope that the building will be completed the latter part of July. Meanwhile the bank is doing business in Mr. Gregory's store. We are reliably informed that a postoffice is soon to be established in this community, also that Mr. Howard Lindsley will soon receive a commission as justice of the peace for Prince George's County. Mr. Lindsley is highly deserving. Rev. G. A. Davis, pastor of Nash Memorial, preached at the M. E. Church, at 3 o'clock. He promises to come back and bring his choir and congregation. The Epworth League was in charge of Mrs. L. E. Crouse, who invited Miss Minnie I. Hill and Miss Caddie Hill, of Washington, D. C., to be present. Miss Minnie Hill opened the League by some very instructive remarks. Several of those present took an active part in the meeting. The anniversary service of the E G. Andrews Chapter, No. 494, Methodist Brotherhood, was a phenomenal success in every particular. Rev Dr. S. H. Brown delivered the sermon, and the male choir, assisted by Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., Herbert Lucas, Miss M. E. Buckner and Mrs. Margaret Brown, wife of the pastor, rendered a program of high-class and most appropriate music for the occasion. The Brotherhood conferred upon the latter the honor of being the first of her sex to sing a solo at one of their meetings. Only men, as a rule, are permitted to take important parts. Mrs. Brown sang the offertory in a most expressive and pleasing manner, displaying a rich mezzosoprano voice of rare volume and sweetness. Mrs. Brown is a valued addition to the musical forces of Roberts Chapel, and is so recognized by the musical fraternity of her church and the city. The anniversary marked the third birthday of the organization, which was founded by Rev. George W. W. Jenkins. D. D., during his pastorate here, Mr. B. F. Watson, the president, made a statement giving a clear and concise history of the chapter. The collection will be used in paying for 100 hymnals which the Brotherhood has arranged to buy and present to the church. The funeral service of Miss Hilda Madden, daughter of Mr. S. W. Madden, and grand daughter of Mrs. Marion Madella, was held Sunday, May 19. 2 P. M., at her fate residence. Service was conducted by Rev. Mitchell, of Meade P. E. Chapel, of which the deceased was a member. music was furnished by the choir. The large attendance and beautiful floral tributes showed the high esteem in which Miss Madden was held. The regular monthly meeting of the Civic League, No. 2, was held at Alfred Street Baptist Church Sunday afternoon last. The program was very interesting, including several instructive addresses and a rare musical treat by the Ehenezer Baptist choir under the able direction of their choir master, Mr. Edgar L. Johnson. The relatives and many friends of Miss Bessie Baltimore are glad to have her with them again. Miss Baltimore has undergone several most successful operations at Freedman's Hospital, and is unstinted in her praise of that institution and its competent corps of doctors and nurses.

Washington's 400 Skip the "Grand Fan-Tas-Ma-Go-Rah" at Arm strong Manual. Tuesday night, May 14. The Bee looked upon a vision of beauty, art and culture at the Armstrong Manual in the "gym," and that vision is still with us. The occasion was the last night of the culture dances, directed by Mrs. M. P. Wilson, of Boston, Mass. Everybody was there. That is, all the "Old Folk Dauncers" who still cling to youthfulness. These daunces are new to Washington and to its 400. Mrs. Wilson brought them with her. She stood in the middle of the hall with one arm aloof, the other akimbo, a perfect Goddess of the Dance. "Music—step—t-2-3-4 s-l-i-d-e. They did slide.' Miss _____ Mrs _____ weighed 275 pounds. 584 pounds also s-l-i-d. They slid together—that was all. Mrs. —, tall, elegant and graceful, Slid. Mr. —, athletic and quick of foot, slid. They slid apart, and the music played on. "Music, step, 1-2-3-4. Draw." cried the direstress. They all drew. "Two?" No, one foot. One lady, whose foot seemed to weigh in proportion to her anatomy, simply could not draw that foot, nor could she slide. She did the best she could, however. "Music, step, 1-2-3-4, Waltz." And they did waltz. The tall and the short, the fat and the lean, the fast and the slow, the old girls and the young girls, the mother and the miss paired together: these couples whirled in a grand circle of the hall to the strains of a melodious piano, apparently obvious of the admiring friends clinging to the walls. Grand Fan-Tas-Ma-Go-Rah. "Now girls, the Grand Fan-tas-mago-rah. 1-2-3-4, slide to center, 1-2-3-4, glide back to position," was the instruction. "Now, music, ready, 1-2-3-4, slide to center.

In all the vocations In which a man can make a living in the United States there’is none more perilous than the yoanufacture of gunpowder and none tm which the public, which usually suffers severely in case of accident, takes so small an interest. The word gunpowder itself carries a suggestion ef perl which is reflected in all the {mnperetitions of the men who work in Che trade. : Te men who work in powder plants ‘sre a etody in themselves. Probably fm’ mo other business do the human agents take more precautions against disaster with such pitiful results. Men who work in powder plants are ta, constant fear of death. They are face to face with peril every ‘second. | Instead of growing hardened to ft, as do the laborers in many other fields of @anger, they appear to be the most superstitious class of men on earth. They are well paid A man who bas nerve enough to work at this trade is worthy of bis hire. He can command $10 a day, sometimes §20. He prac- tically makes his own rules, since be 4s the one to suffer from an {nfraction of them. His every suspicion is're spected by his employer. He cannot dictate the hours of labor, since that ds a matter eternally in dispute, ax im other kinds of labor, but he can @ic- tate the conditions under which he works from the moment he enters the tuctory until he leaves. These superstitions seem absurd sometimes, but they are the law of the gunpowder factory. If you are am employer you break the law at the risk af financial loss; if you are a fel- low employee you violate it at the risk of your life. One of the first laws among the em- ployees ts that of self preservation. They have a deep rooted fear of the casual visitor. Few men have gene through a gunpowder plant out of mere curiosity, They are not wanted and are told so frankly. If they suc- ceed in obtaining the permission of the superintendent or posaibly of some ene higher in authority they are sub- jected to an extraordinary ordeal be- fore they are admitted to the sacred precincts.

THE SEWING MACHINE OF QUALITY. NOT SOLD UNDER ANY OTHER NAME. HOME The Term Philosopher The word "philosopher" is said to have originated with the celebrated Pythagoras, who was born about 570 B.C. The word means a lover of wisdom. Pythagoras must have been a very remarkable man, for it is certain that he made a profound and lasting impression upon his time. He was the originator of the idea that nature is a harmony and that its varled phenomena are all brought about by unerring and universal laws and are an expression of nothing less than the universe itself. True to the name he gave himself, Pythagoras is said to have devoted his whole life to the acquisition of knowledge to the end that he might impart it to others without money and without price. He was one of the noble influences of antiquity, and the effects of his unselfish labors are still visible among men.—Exchange.

McCall's Magazine and McCall Patterns The Macgregors For Women The Macgregors were forbidden to use their family name in 1003.

It was not till 1822 that a royal license to use the name, was granted to Sir Charles Macgregor, up to then known as "Murray." In the early years of the seventeenth century every man's hand was raised against this persecuted race and they could be mutilated and slain with impunity.—London Spectator.

The poor sinner's bell is a bell in the city of Breslau. In the province of Silesia, Prussia, and hangs in the tower of one of the city churches. It was cast July 17, 1386, according to historic records. It is said that a great bell founder of the place had undertaken to make the finest church bell he had ever made. When the metal was melted the founder withdrew for a few moments, leaving a boy to watch the furnace and enjoining him not to meddle with the catch that held the molten metal, but the boy disobeyed the caution, and when he saw the metal flowing into the mold he called the founder. The latter rushed in and, seeing, as he thought, his work of weeks undone and his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy a blow that caused his immediate death. When the metal cooled and the mold was opened the bell was found to be not only perfect, but of marvelous sweetness of tone. The founder gave himself up to the authorities, was tried and condemned to death. On the day of his execution the bell was rung to call people to attend church and offer a prayer for the unhappy man's soul, and from that it obtained the name of "the poor sinner's bell." SEEING A PURPLE COW. Perfectly Natural Under Certain Conditions, Says an Artist. H. Anthony Dyer, painter of water colors, was explaining the matter to some possible buyers of his wares. "Suppose while you are in the country in summer," said he, "you chance upon a Holstein cow grazing on a hillside. Holsteins, of course you know, are black and white. The pasture is green. Off at one side is a gray unpainted barn. Do you stagger with surprise when you notice that that cow is purple? Not a bit of it. If it were not purple you might reasonably consult an oculist. That would be a'sign that your eyes needed attention. "But you may never have tried to figure out why the cow is purple. Here is the answer: The complementary color of the green pasture is red. The sight of green always suggests red, although, we don't realize it. Flooding the scene is the yellow sunshine. The yellow, the red and the green combine to tint the grazing neutral colored cow purple, and purple it undeniably is, as you must admit when next you encounter one under such circumstances. Nevermore, therefore, may you sing with Gelett Burgess: I never saw a purple cow. I never hope to see one. —New York Press. The Bug Bible. The bug Bible was printed in 1549 by the authority of Edward VI., and its curiosity lies in the rendering of the fifth verse of the Ninety-first Psalm, which, as we know, runs, "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night nor for the arrow which fliteth by day," but in the above version it ran, "So thou shalt not nede to be afraid of any bugges by night." Ludicrous as this sounds, it is not etymologically without justification. "Bug" is derived from the Welsh word "bwg," which meant a hobgoblin or terrifying specter, a signification traceable in the word commonly in use today—"bugbear"—and Shakespeare once or twice uses the word in this primary sense, notably when he makes Hamlet say, "Such bugs and goblins in my life." Daffodil Superstitions Daffodilis are not only poisonous and libelous, but most unlucky flowers, especially when single specimens are encountered. Herrick, who must often have gone through the experience without much harm happening, declares that— When a daffodil I see Hanging down her head to me. Guess I may what I must be. First, I shall decline my head; Secondly, I shall be dead; Lastly, safely buried. In Herrick's own Devon to this day if you place a single daffodil on the table of a farmhouse the farmer will jump up and exclaim, "Now we shall have no young ducks this year." The evil spell can be broken by increasing the single flower to a bunch. St. James' Gazette. Queer Nest of the Tontobane The oddest of all birds' nests is the one built by the toontobane, a South African songster. It is built of cotton and always upon the tree producing the material. In constructing the domicile the female works inside and the male outside, where he builds a sentinel box for his own special use. He sits in the box and keeps watch or sings nearly all the time, and when danger comes in the form of a hawk or a snake he warns the family, but never enters the main nest. A Dodger.

HORNER —_ PROI Washington’s address, * 1 __In the morning Dr. Washington, at| ‘the special invitation of Chancellor Frank Strong, of the University of Kansas, Iawrence, delivered a stir- ring address to the ‘students of that university. The audience is said to have been as large as any that has ever gathered to hear any of the no- table who haye spoken there, such as President Tait and Governor Wood- row Wilson. The students them- selyes gave Dr. Washington ene of the warmest welcomes ever extended a visitor at Lawrence. . In his address before the General Conference, Dr. Washington laid par- ticular stress, as he had already done in his address before the General Conference at Charlotte, upon the great need and necessity at the Ne- gro ministry turning its attention t> saving and strengthening thé millions of Negrocs who lives in the country districts of the South. He said in part: ~ “Tn the rural districts the Negre. all things considered, is at his best in body, mind and soul. In the city, he is usually at his worst. Plainly, ‘one of the duties of your church is to help keep the Negro where he has the hest chance. Ina marked degree the Negro is a social being. He, more largely than is true of any other race. uses the church as the rallying point for his social life. Whether it is a meeting relating to farming, business, education, politics or secret societies, the Negro church house is used. “Here is the opportunity for us to improve the church life of ithe Negro in the country and thus to help to Keep him on the Jand where he has a chance to grow a_ strong, healthy body, and be away from the tempta- tons and complexities of large city life. “How can this be done? For one thing, make c\urch life for the Ne- gro in the’ rural districts as_attract- ive as it is now in the city. The Ne- gro problem is to a very considera- ple extent the problem of rural life everywhere. So long as the Negro finds a poor, uncomfortable, unat- tractive church house in the country. and a good church house in, the city. or finds a weak, ignorant minister in the country and a strong, intelligent minister in the city. or finds in the country church services held once month and in the city a church ser- vice held twice cach Sunday; so long will the Negro be tempted to leave the country and migrate to the city “Tn dealing with the millions of the Negroes, let us in America learn : lesson from what has taken place it England where agriculture and the farm have been neglected by churct and State, with the result that the cities of England are filled with mil lions of unfortunate misfits who ar in the gutters instead of being on th soil and ont in the free, bracing ai where God meant that man shoul ive, . = ogy “No class of people should be mor interested in the plans and work © our great Negro church organizatioz than the capitalists, the captains industry, those who directly or indi rectly employ Negro labor.

In “Whistler es I Knew Him” Mor- timer Menpes, the author, has 2 good deal to say about Whistler the fight- er and his quickness in resenting an affront. “He is careful to add that Whistles was always refined In his methods: ‘While he was severe he was not ac- toally brutal. He never treated his enemies in a coarse way. <Any man who had offended him Whistler would rap sburply over the shoulders with his cane, and then by the time the sufferer hind recovered the master would be in the next room explaining to every one how he had just felled bis enemy. Once he caught a man with whor he was for the moment enraged wash ing his face.” Without a moment's hesitation Whistler dasbed the unfor tunate head straight into the basin of water, and whtle the foe was endeay oring to clear the soap from ‘his eyes to see the cause of this sudden immer sion Whistler was in the smoking room setting the men there in a roa with the account of his adventures. | When I first met Whistler he was i the act of searching for a man wh had dared to criticise his Venetia ‘etchings. “If you want to see som fun, Menpes,” he sald, “come wit! me.” Fortunately the man bad bee: | warned and was nowhere to be found FOR SALE.
