IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIII NO1 WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1913 AND IT WAS APPRECIATED Ministers Do Great Work—After Outlining the Qualifications for Greatness the Speaker Told Colored People of Their Racial Failings. (From the Durham (N. C.) Herald.) Dr Charles H. Parkhurst, the noted minister of New York City, gave the Negroes assembled at the graduating exercises of the second commencement of the Religious Training School yesterday morning about the straightest and frankest talk about their racial characteristics and racial failings that they have ever before listened to. The address was not in the nature of a criticism, but rather the pointing out those failings of the race the unpalatable truths about their condition, that they might remedy them. The colored people understood and appreciated the spirit of the message, and the fact that they accepted the facts as set forth in the spirit of the patient, enduring the probe is one of the most encouraging things about the whole Negro problem. They were willing to endure the painful process of opening the fester of their racial feelings, when they believed this would help towards a cure. The distinguished preacher said that his first introduction to the Negro was at Hampton, and a very fine tribute was paid to General Armstrong, who devoted much of his life to the education of the Negro race at this famous institute. He was "by nature a greater man than most of us." The speaker said there were two qualities needed by men to attain the maximum results, "and the first of these is vigor and ruggedness of character. * * * Now my feeling about it is that men are not born with the thing called robustness of character, but that it has to be earned has to be acquired after we are born. The Other Strength. Dr. Parkhurst explained that it was men's inside strength that should concern men, and this too has to be acquired. Men go to school to acquire this, but knowledge is not always power. It does not become powerful till one has learned to live and practice the things one has learned. The real knowing comes only by doing. The theology learned in the training schools does not become a power till one has learned to live this knowledge. "It is doing that makes knowing, and that constructs power. Every soul is a missionary ground, and to a large extent, every man has to be his own missionary. We go to school to our own behavior. We do not know the Bible by studying and reading it but by living it." It is for this reason that the sermons of many of the preachers do not do so much good as they might. The people are intellectually interested in what is said, but fail to carry it out in actual life. Truth, proclaimed will usually reach the intellect, but the intellect is a very superficial feature of the real man. It is the front door, a place to get in, but not where one lives. The world's great men are great because they are workers. They start with an idea, and the working this idea engenders energy in them. What Makes Great Men. That is what makes great men. An idea is only the beginning of knowledge, the mere unfledged possibility of wisdom." The point made was illustrated. Columbus never would have been a great man, never would have really known, what he believed had he remained in Spain and spun theories about the roundnidity of the earth. He really began to know when he touched the new continent. For a man to be truly great this strength and robustness of power must be used in the service of one's times. Power may be either destructive. "What this intitution and all educational institutions of a distinctly Christian type aim to produce is power, but power that is saturated with a beneficient and affectionate impulse. And power thus saturated I venture to call greatness. That is the way I would define greatness, productive energy working out into the lives of men lovingly. * * * I do not besithe to define greatness that way because it is really our Lord's definition. 'Whomsoever will be great among you let him be your servant.'" For this reason, Dr. Parkhurst said Christ was the greatest man in history. Even in heaven to be great is to be a servant, for God is not great because he holds the world in his hands, but because he puts his vast power to the wants-of the Human race. A Hard Problem. With this as a background Dr. Parkhurst took up his discussion of the real problems of the Negro, and told the students preparing for the ministry that they had a hard row before them, a work that concerned not only their race but the white race as well. "I believe in the colored people. I believe that all the races occupy a distinct place in God's purpose; that in the great drama of history there is a role set apart for each of them to play. "Nevertheless the work before you is an immense one. But what has largely been effected during only fifty years of emancipated life gives an immation of the high point of achievement at which it is reasonable to expect that you will ultimately attain, and to which you will attain of the proper appliances are wisely, patiently and expectantly employed. These appliances are religion, education and manual training." The speaker said that the prejudices of the South towards the Negro was perfectly natural, and could not be helped by theorists from the North. Prejudices are inherited and are slowly worn out. The blunders of the North, of which all Northern white men are ashamed, have prevented the dissipation of these prejudices. "The removal of that prejudice will be the work of the Negro exclusively. He will in due time be regarded just according to his deserts." Continuing Dr. Parkrust said. "I believe that the Negro is in much better condition today because of "his slavery. Whether American Negroes have acquired much or little of the elements of robust character (and I suppose on the whole it is little rather than much) they are today at any rate in reach of opportunities of which they would certainly have been destitute had they been left in the jungle." The Negro's Religion. The speaker thought that the religion of the average Negro was lacking in two important essentials, intelligence and morality. His mind is outwrought and his conscience untrained. Hence the great necessity of a sanctified and intelligent Negro ministry. Your work will be a great work but it will be a stern work, full of high ideals and uncompromise," he told the Negro ministers. "The Negro has a fancy for the interes of education; a little Latin, and a smattering of Greek, to him is a liberal education. "The Negro is superficial. We are not blaming him for it, but only stating a fact. He likes to be showy, before he really has anything to show. * * * And if the adherence to fixed structural lines is indispensable in the Negro's intellectual training even more is it true in his moral and religious discipline. If the title of stories that are told of him are one-quarter true, religion and decent behavior have in the estimation of the average Negro nothing in particular to do with each other. * * * With the Negro religion is rather of the effervescent type. A good deal to it works off in steam without running much machinery." The speaker said he was not charging the Negroes with hypocrisy for that was not a characteristic of a child race. The Negro who listened to a sermon on stealing and complained at the end that he did not come to church to hear about the ten commandments, but that he must have his Sunday for religion, was sincere in his criticism, for he had not connected his morality with his religion. They were different things. "In the Christian scheme, there is no such thing as morality considered apart from religion." Right must be right because it is backed by the sanction of God. That puts morality where it belongs. On this account reasoned the speaker in conclusion, the nation is looking to this institution here in Durham for the redemption of the Negro. The Diplomas Awarded. The address of Dr. Parkhurst was followed by a musical selection by the chorus, whose rendition of the classics and of the old plantation fold songs of the race, was music of the highest type. A number of the colored people in the audience were called on by Dr. Shepard, and all express their appreciation for the frankness of the address, and on motion the address was ordered printed in pamphlet form for distribution. The following diplomas, certificates and prizes were awarded: Graduates.

Greatest Display in the History of the Institution—Over 2,000 Attended—Assistant Attorney General Lewis' Great Speech—The Alumni Banquet. With hundreds of alumni from all parts of the country present, the most picturesque and brilliant commencement exercises ever held at Howard University took place on the campus Wednesday afternoon. Degrees were conferred on 151 graduates. William H. Lewis, Assistant United States Attorney General, conferred the degrees and made the principal address, in which he gave the graduates some sound advice. Representatives of all of the graduating classes of Howard since 1870 attended the ceremonies. Seats for 2,000 persons had been erected on the lawn, and these were not sufficient, many persons standing. Before the graduates were handed their diplomas ground for the new gymnasium was broken. This gymnasium, when completed, will be the finest owned by any colored school in the world. Following are the graduates: College of arts and sciences. A. B. Waldo E. Alexander, James C.

Capitalists, Bankers, Merchants, Contractors, Ministers, Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers and Planters—Very Few Office Holders Among the Number—All Men of Honor. A well-known business man who has traveled through the South and is personally acquainted with the majority of the Afro-American delegates to the Republican National Convention at Chicago, scouts the idea that they will disregard their instructions. In an interview today he said: "The stories that the colored delegates from the South will desert President Tait at Chicago, are all moonshine. While they have been circulated primarily for the purpose of befuddling the public mind in this particular case, there is another and even more sinister side to the matter and that is the effort to prove that the colored race is venal." "It has been charged that Southern delegates have been purchased in the past, and even if that is true, it proves nothing in this case. Twelve or sixteen years ago the delegations were to a great extent made up of professional politicians, but this year that class is conspicuous by its absence. The colored delegates to Chicago are business and professional men. There are capitalists, bankers, merchants, contractors, ministers, doctors, editors, publishers, lawyers, teachers, planters, and not more than three or four federal office holders. "These men are of high standing in their respective communities, and have the respect and esteem of their fellow citizens of both races. Many of them are worth from $10,000 to $20,000 each, and a few are worth more than $100,000. It is inconceivable that men of this class will deliberately disregard the positive instructions of the conventions which elected them. Another thing, these men realize that they are the chosen representatives of the Afro-American people, and they will be held to strict accountability by the rank and file of the race if they betray their trusts. They would not dare to return to their homes if they "went wrong," so great would be the resentment of their followers. "I am personally acquainted with nine-tenths of the colored delegates, and I can vouch for their high character. Take men like Dr. U. G. Mason, the leading physician of the race in Birmingham, Ala.; Hon. John E. Bush, Receiver of Public Monies at Little Rock, Ark., and head of an insurance company; Hon. Henry L. Johnson, a great lawyer, now acting head of the Odd Fellows, a secret society having a membership of several hundred thousand members; Dr. W. F. Penn, Atlanta's leading physician and surgeon, and a man of great wealth; Hon. M. B. Morton, a capitalist and contractor of Athens, Ga. who has executed several large contracts for the United States Government, and has recently completed a federal building at Anniston, Ala., at a cost of $150,000; Rev. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., famous as the "silver-tongued orator of the South." Rev. J. E. Wood, a well-known Baptist minister of Danville, Ky.; Walter L. Cohen, head of a large insurance company, in New Orleans, La.; and J. Madison Vance, a great criminal lawyer of the same city; Charles Banks, the banker and a leading citizen of Mound Bayou, the colored people's * wn in Mississippi; E. H. McKissack, a merchant prince of Holly Springs, Miss.; R. R. Church, Jr., the capitalist of Memphis, Tenn., and J. T Settle, the noted lawyer of the same city; Rev. J. E. Lee, a prominent divine and collector at Jacksonville, Fla.; S. S. Mincey, a turpentine producer at Alley, Ga., R. A. Holland, of McDonough, A. N. Fluker, of Argyle, and R. B. Butt, of Greenville, are prosperous Georgia farmers worth from $10,000 to $20,000 each. S. S. Broadnax is a wealthy grocer at Thomasville, Ga., and Thomas M. Grant is a prominent citizen of Charleston, S. C., and is reputed to be worth $50,000. I could name a number of others whom I know personally. They are all men of the highest integrity, and you may be certain that they will never betray their trusts.* GEN. FORREST'S PATRIOTIC GIFT. American Flag to Float Over Odd Fellows' Temple at Atlanta. A large and beautiful American flag twenty by ten feet, will float over the new $100,000 Odd Fellows' Temple at Atlanta on the day the building is opened for the session of the B. M. C. and it will continue thereafter to adorn the towering staff of that historic structure as a permanent decoration. The flag, which is made of the finest hunting, and manufactured expressly for the purpose mentioned, is to be the gift of General Henry Forrest, of Washington, D. C., a prominent member of the G. U. O. of O: F. and who enjoys a nation-wide reputation as a philanthropic and public-spirited man of affairs. The charming banner has been shipped by express to the officials of the Order at Atlanta, and will be in readiness for display in September, in connection with appropriate dedicatory ceremonies. Before sending away the precious trophy, General Forrest conceived the idea of dedicating it here, and with characteristic generosity, invited a number of congenial friends to assist him in the performance of this interesting function. The affair took place Friday evening, May 17, in the spacious headquarters of the Odd Fellows' Journal, and a more enjoyable evening has rarely been spent by any group of gentlemen on any similar occasion in the District. An elaborate luncheon was served by Caterer Emanuel Murray, and the welkin was made to ring with wit and eloquence during its discussion. Associate Justice W. L. Houston acted as toastmaster, and among those who spoke in culogy of the whole-souled host and of the cause which he sought to honor, were Messrs. H. P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal; J. N. Goins, manager of the Goins Printing Company; R. W. Thompson, general correspondent; Emanuel Murray, and others, to which General Forrest responded in felicitous vein. A handsome necktie was presented to Mr. Thompson by the host. A telegram was dispatched to Acting Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson, regretting his enforced absence on account of speaking engagements in Georgia. This is the first instance on record where a member of our race has made a present of a fine American flag to wave over a building owned by a fraternal organization, and the act is destined to become historic. The General is noted for his liberality in helping secret orders, churches and needy individuals, and one of his most notable benefactions is his annual dinner given to the nurses of Freedmen's Hospital. General Forrest is a widower, and lives in a handsomely-appointed flat in Carrollburg Place. For many years he has been connected in a responsible capacity with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Runner has it that he is to be made inspector-general of the Patriarchie of the G. U. O. of O. F. at the Atlanta meeting of th B. M. C. in September. League of "Boy Scouts." A "League of Colored Boy Scouts" in the District. In an able address in connection with the "Peace" exercises last Friday at the Logan School, Mr. Charles A. Marshall, the acknowledged head of the movement in this community, outlined the plan for such a league, and described in graphic language the inspiration and practical benefits to be derived from such an organization. Mr. Marshall's address was received with many evidences of approval on the part of both teachers and students, and he expects to enroll a large number of the boys of Logan School under the Boy Scout banner, forming there a company to supplement the senior body at Lovejoy School. Mr. Marshall has now spoken at every colored school in Northeast and Southeast Washington, and he expects a strong league of Boy Scouts to grow out of the earnest agitation he is conducting throughout the District. Prosperous Chicagoan in Our Midst. Dr. W. H. Davis, of Chicago, a leading chiropodist, spent a few days here last week. He had been to his old home in Frederick, Md., to attend a meeting of the directors of the colored cemetery at that place. The company owns some valuable land, and is doing a thriving business in burying the dead and selling building lots to live people. A handsome dividend was declared. Dr. Davis' wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, is prominent in women's federation work in Chicago. They offer an open door to the Washington delegation that will attend the meeting of the National Negro Business League in Chicago in August. (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) The public schools were closed all day last Monday and Patriotic Societies held appropriate exercises in commemoration of the anniversary of the birth of the first and only president of the Confederate States, Jefferson Davis. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the pure food champion, who was formerly chief of the Bureau of Chemistry here, has received an offer to become chairman of the Boston Board of Health at a salary of $7,500 per year. It is said Dr. Wiley thinks favorably of the outlook. Miss Edna Johnson, the 16-year-old colored girl who probably saved many persons from death by stopping the Chicago, New York limited train, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, before reaching a burning, bridge, was showered with silver coins for her bravery. The population of Seattle, Washington, for 1912, is 281,896. Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback spoke before the monthly meeting of the New York Historical and Literary Society. His subject was: "Reconstruction Reminiscences." The Governor, as usual held his audience spell-bound. The Methodists, at the general conference which convened in Minneapolis, adopted an automatic retirement of Bishops nearest their seventy-third birthday, effective at the next conference. John Thomas Blackwell, colored, eighty-seven years of age, walked from Tennessee to Lowell, Mass., to visit General Benjamin Butler's tomb. Blackwell, although a slave before the civil war, is en route to Bangor, Maine. He has been on the road for three months. Several ladies of China have asked General Li to establish a woman's law school in order to promote the political education of women. It is reported they were told by General Li the time is not ripe for women to learn law. Dr. Parkhurst, of New York, addressed the citizens of Durham, N. C., last week. He told some plain facts. President Taft won the six delegates-at-large in Ohio Tuesday. Mr. Taft's vote is 390½ against Roosevelt's 362½. Senator George S. Nixon, of Nevada, is dangerously ill. There is little hope for his recovery. Major Wm. Ludgate, of the War Department, dropped dead at his desk Tuesday. He was in the old Ford's theater building when it fell in several years ago, in which George Arnold and others lost their lives. The rebels in Cuba are gaining. The War Department will furnish the Cuban Government 5,000 rifles and 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition. An ordinance has been adopted in Chicago, Ill., prohibiting traffic in theater tickets. A fight will be made to appoint a colored man President of Howard University, to succeed Dr. Thirkield. There is also an opposing faction. Mr. Roosevelt has issued a declaration against the selection of Senator Root. He claims that the Senator doesn't represent his policies. A boy in Yonkers, N. Y., was told by his mother not to go swimming, because she had a dream that he was going to meet with a fatal accident. The boy only laughed. He disobeyed his mother and went, but he was drowned. The complimentary excursion of Attorney Thomas L. Jones 30 miles down the Potomac Thursday, was a success. Col. Lewis Jefferson has made it possible for the people to enjoy themselves. The citizens of Georgia unanimously favor Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson. He has their respect and confidence. Two more buildings will be erected by Dr James E. Shepard at the National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C. Every indication points to the renomination of President Tait. Hon. Wm. Barnes, Jr., of New York, is leading the Tait forces. It is suggested that a colored bar association be organized in this city. The citizens of Georgia are making great preparations for the Odd Fellows' B. M. C. this year. There are at least seven candidates for membership on the Board of Education. The Negroes of Cuba have declared that they will be free at any cost. Commissioner Rudolph will appoint a colored citizen to a representative job at his earliest convenience. The outlook in Georgia is that Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson will be the next grand master of Odd Fellows. Constructive Genius of Colored Men. The architect who designed the new and elegant $100,000 home of the Twelfth street branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, is W. Sidney Pittman, a graduate of Tuskegee and Drexel Institutes. The consulting engineer who assisted in perfecting the physical plans of the great structure is Howard D. Woodson, one of the most capable men in the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. The brick work was done under the direction of an experienced and reliable colored contractor. It Was Quite a Puzzle Even to Its Inventor Before He Learned to Control It. Dynamite is a Greek word for powder. Its chemical name is nitroglycerin. It was discovered in a laboratory in Paris by A. Sobrero in 1847. Sobrero escaped death a hundred times by the closest margin and was never able to learn how to handle the explosive with any safety. About 1855 Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer, learned how to explode the liquid by detonation. Nobel Bros. of Hamburg that year sent a young man to America to introduce its use to miners. He met with no success, and a tin can of the liquid left by him in a New York hotel when thrown into the street wrecked the hotel, injuring many and causing the neighborhood to rain glass. It was known commercially at this stage as "glonlon" and blew up by accident a West Indies packet at Colon, killing fifty people and destroying property worth a million dollars. Then its use was prohibited by law. It will burn at certain temperatures if the quantity is small. When exploded it instantly expands 10,000 times; the gases require 10,000 times the space of the liquid. At last Nobel learned to soothe and quiet the liquid by causing it to be absorbed in infusorial earth. It was this preparation that in 1866 was called dynamite by Noel. When it explodes the force plunges first downward and then rebounds upward. Unless confined it has little tendency to lateral pressure. This is one of its great peculiarities—Louisville Courier-Journal. "CROSSING THE BAR." "It Came In a Moment," Said Tennyson of His Great Song. Parallel to the thoughts on immortality and the hereafter as Dr. Lowry expressed them is Lord Alfred Tennyson's noble death song, "Crossing the Bar." One of the three greatest death songs ever written, it comes to us as a sublime prayer, a humble petition, a sacred belief of a great man. It was while crossing the Solent with his son Hallam late one October's afternoon that the words came to the mind of the poet, who had just recovered from a siege of sickness. Reaching his home, he at once sat down and penned the lines. Showing the poem to his son, he declared, "It came in a moment." Three years after the birth of the lines Sir Alfred passed away, but the prayer he uttered on that memorable afternoon remains a fitting memorial not only to the English poet laureate, but to the memory of those who have gone before us and who helped to lay the foundation of our liberal faith and liberal education. In it are blended the unfaltering trust and belief of all humanity. The last lone man on this terrestrial sphere will utter no grander words when he sets sail to seas unknown than those dropped as faith's anchor by the silent man of the yester age: I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. —"Songs Inspired by Sorrow," George Leon Varney, in National Magazine. A Wonderful Painting. In the Wiltz gallery in Brussels is a wonderful painting, dating from the time of Waterloo, called "Napoleon In Hell." It represents the great marshal with folded arms and face unmoved, descending slowly to the land of the shades. Before him, filling all the background of the picture with every expression of countenance, are the men sent before him by the unbridled ambition of Napoleon. Three millions and seventy thousand there were in all—so history tells us—more than half of them Frenchmen. They are not all shown in the picture. They are only hinted at. And behind the millions shown or hinted at are the millions on millions of men who might have been and are not—the huge widening wedge of the possible descendants of the men who fell in battle. A Primitive View of the Bullfrog. The frogs in America, it must here be observed, make a most sluggular noise, some of them being absolutely whistling, while others croak so loudly that it is difficult at times to tell whether the sound proceeds from a calf or a frog. I have more than once been deceived by the noise when walking in a meadow. These last frogs are called bullfrogs. They mostly keep in pairs and are never found but where there is good water. Their bodies are from four to seven inches long, and their legs are in proportion. They are extremely active and take prodigious leaps.—From an Old Book of Travels. Love Letter of a Kaffir Dear Miss E. Naabeni-I have great confidence in thundering the width of my opinion that I shall thank for kindness if you will give me the privilege of lettering with you concerning love as your most winning face has drawn my serious attention to you, and that I shall appreciate you in anticipation of an early reply and also terminating this with supreme of high enunciation.

It Is Something Akin to Sailing Through a Picture Frame (of Rocky Bluffs. Getting into the harbor of Port Arthur is something like an Alice in Wonderland trick. One sails through a picture frame—the rocky bluffs at the mouth, barely wide enough for a stout ship to squeeze through without lacing—wondering how there can be room for a ship to anchor between the frame and the picture itself, a small hamlet somewhat Swiss or Norwegian in homelikeness. But once behind the frame the wonderland unfolds. The small basin of water becomes a lakelike body, delightfully protected behind sheltering cliffs. The little hamlet reaches out into two big towns, one on either side. The old town to the east contains the older Russian buildings, barracks, storehouses and the like. Here also now are the small Japanese shops and the poorer classes of Japanese dwellings, semi-Japanese in construction, with the ramshackle Chinese quarter on the outskirts. The new town to the west is an open, modern European or American residence section, built largely by the Russians in the palmy days, imposing government buildings erected by the Japanese, a hospital, a shady park and a well run·modern hotel.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. MARINE JUNKMEN. Carrier Snails Load Their Backs With All Sorts of Refuse. The carrier snail is to the sea, what the junkman is to the land. It receives its name from its habit of carrying foreign objects on its back. Nothing comes amiss to the carrier snail if it is not too big. Castoff shells of small mollusks, bits of broken coral, tiny stones and even fragments of broken glass dropped overboard from passing vessels are cemented firmly to the edges of the growing shell, nor is this curious creature satisfied when the shell is completely covered, but continues to add to its collection by fastening new pieces to the old ones already piled upon its back until it is no longer able to move beneath its burden. As it is an inhabitant of tropical waters swarming with voracious fish, crabs, etc., there is method in its madness. Its hungry enemies pass it by, unable to distinguish it from the rocks and shells on the sea bottom. Some of the snails show a preference for tiny pebbles all of one shape and equal size, others accumulate only shells of one kind, and one picked up off the coast of Japan had its portable house entirely roofed with glass.—New York Press. Curious Anticipations Many peculiar anticipations have been cited against patent applications. At one time a congressman took the patent office a lock invented by one of his rural constituents. The lock was an exact copy of a lock figured in "Price on Locks," showing the lock used on a gate of ancient Thebes, thousands of years before Christ. The congressman, after examining the illustration which was shown him by one of the officers, exclaimed that he didn't care who that fellow in Thebes was—he certainly stole it from his constituent. On another occasion an application for a patent was filed for a flower basket whose construction corresponded in detail with the Scriptural description of the ark in which Moses was placed in the bulrushes, which we are told in the second chapter of Exodus was an ark of bulrushes daubed with slime and with pitch. This is also probably the first recorded instance of a re-enforced concrete structure.—Scientific American. Books and Beeches At a sale in New York a bibliophile said: "Book is a word that comes from the German buche, or beech. But what connection has a book got with a beech? I'll show you." The bibliophile led the way to a superb Caxton that had just been sold for $3,800. "This volume, you see," he said, "is bound in boards—not pasteboards—real boards, beech boards. That is how all books were bound when printing began. Yes, when printing began in Germany, each incunabulum, or early book, was bound in buche—in beech boards half an inch thick, covered perhaps with leather, tipped and clasped with brass and studded with precious or semi-precious stones." Told Him So. "See here, landlord," said an angry tenant after he had signed the contract for a year, "this house is full of sewer gas." "Yes. You asked me if there was gas in every room, and I said there was."—London Tatler. Where They Parted. Meyerbeer and Rossini, in spite of all their rivalries, were the warmest of friends. Rossini once said, "Meyerbeer and I can never agree." When some one in surprise asked why he replied, "Meyerbeer likes sauerkraut better than he does macaroni." One Method. "Do you always keep a-smilling about your daily duties?" "Naw; I look grouchy. Then I ain't asked to do no extra work."—Washington Herald. FOOTBALL IS DANGEROUS. At Least It Was For the Man Who Tried to Introduce the Game Into Turkey. It is, or was until recently, a difficult matter to be a sportsman in Turkey. One Rechad Bey tried it, with a result weird enough to serve as a basis for a detective story or a comic opera. The young Turk had organized a football team among his friends, together with some Greeks and Armenians, and began practicing. Not very long after, in the middle of the night, police came to his house and carried him off to Scutari. There he was submitted to a long interrogation as to the club and the game of football. The authorities were convinced that they had found a great plot and that the club must be a secret society. A special messenger was sent for the ball, and that was duly examined and found to be an infernal machine. The rules of the game were considered to be another piece of damning evidence, and still worse were the sweaters and colors of the club. After long deliberation the culprit was sent to the higher police authorities in Stamboul, who went through a second long examination and came to the conclusion that the empire had been saved from disintegration by the early discovery of a great plot. They dispatched the whole matter to be inquired into at the sultan's palace at Yildiz, and a special commission took the matter in hand. After much careful thought and examination of the evidence of the crime it was decided that there might not be nothing in it, but that it must not be committed again.—Harper's Weekly. UNWRITTEN BOOKS. Stories Planned and Promised That Never Saw the Light. The Bookman republishes a paper by Professor Brander Matthews entitled "Unwritten Books" that was first printed many years ago. Professor Matthews speaks of the projected books and plays that never saw the light and have been read, like bills in congress, by title only. Mollere planned a comedy under the title "L'Homme de Cour," which was to be his masterpiece. Nothing is known of it today. Richard Brinsley Sheridan intended to write a follower to "The School For Scandal" and "The Rivals." The subject was "Affectation." It never went beyond a few random notes. For years the paper covers of every new book that Victor Hugo issued continued to announce as soon to be, published a romance entitled "La Quanquengrogne." Many posthumous volumes of the French poet's writing in prose and verse have been sent forth by his literary executors, but of this oddly entitled fiction nothing has been heard. In 1862 Alphouse Daudet announced as in press a volume of short stories to be called "La Pentameron." The book remained unpublished and apparently unwritten. The younger Dumas has left on record more than one reference to a comedy to be called "La Route de Thebes," planned before "Francillon," but never given to the public. Roasting an Egg. Every boy and girl down on the farm in times gone by used to roast eggs, pieces of meat and potatoes in embers in the old wood cook stove or in the big open fireplace. Barns were searched for hens' nests, and the fine, fresh eggs were wrapped in heavy paper. The paper was dampened, and several thicknesses of it protected the eggs from scorching. You know, wet paper in a ball is hard to burn. Well, the wrapped up eggs were put on the live coals and partially covered by them. In from five to fifteen minutes the egg was roasting hot and ready to eat with salt, pepper and butter. A pin hole was made in the big end of the egg so as to let the steam escape to keep it from bursting the shell and the meats from running out. If you have never as a small boy roasted such eggs you have missed one of childhood's greatest joys.—New York Press. How It Got There. A gamekeeper was going over his master's estate one morning, when he encountered a gentleman of the poaching class. The gamekeeper noticed that the other's hat was bulging in a curious manner. After subjecting the hat to an examination he found a fine young pleasant. "How did this get here?" the gamekeeper asked, glaring at the culprit. "Blowed if I know," growled the poacher, gazing at the pheasant with an apparent look of great perplexity. "The blooming thing must have crawled up my trousers leg."—London Tit-Bits.

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 im- punity and with reservation. Thou- sands of the best and well known colored people have visited this city and do visit it now, but they have no place of diginity to go with, their fam- ilies and feel at home. Dr. Booker ‘T. Washington, about a year ago made a special plea to the Negro Business League of thiz city to see to it that a hotel be erected, fur the accommotlation of the colored. people; that when he, Dr, Washington, comes to the city he is compelled to go to some private home.

The banquet hall which is so much needed in this city for the accom- modation 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 accomodation of the guests. This has been just what the city has needed for a iong 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 quest or guests Le driven immediately to the Hotel in the hotel's automobile which will meet any train that comes into the Union Station or Steamboat whari. 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 deter- mined not to be behind in meeting the demands of strangers and visitors. Capital Seock.

To argue that it would be wrong to elect a colored man president of Howard University to succeed Dr. Thirkield is to argue that the colored man is unprepared for shouldering responsibilities. And yet there are some colored men who have such little confidence in their race, and who have so little pride in their own who are contending that a white man must be elected president of Howard in order to insure the retention of the institution. And the colored men, at least some of them, who are putting up the argument that a white president is necessary to the maintenance of Howard, are men who think themselves capable of higher honors, and who would consider it treason did any colored man maintain they were incapable of filling a higher sphere than the one they now may be filling. The Bee can see where it is possible to question the availability of this or that candidate for the place, but as a thorough race journal, it cannot take the stand that the presidency of Howard University is too high, too big or too exacting for any colored man whoever. Wilberforce University is a colored institution for higher education, and one which must depend upon the contributions of wealthy white men for its maintenance, it receiving no Congressional appropriations, and yet Wilberforce has existed all these years under a colored president. If Howard University was an institution for coeducation, that is education of both races upon terms of equality, there might be some wisdom, in order to maintain, a white and black parity, for the selection of a white president, but even then it would be a sad reflection upon the race to hold that the race had no man big and wise enough for the place. But Howard is a colored institution that is, Howard's students are exclusively colored. And what a discouragement it would be to Howard's 1,200 colored students to affirm that there must necessarily be a dead line to their ambitions, and that their hopes can only be effervescent. And to say that the race has no man equal to the presidency of Howard in effect is to mark out a dead line for the ambitions of every Howard student, aid to counsel them not to entertain a hope. Whether or not a colored man is selected. The Bee would be false to its years of championing the rights of the race, and to its continual declaration that the race can produce men for any emergency, men who are big enough, wise enough, and honest enough to represent the race in any capacity, did it contend that no colored man is big enough to be president of Howard University. A CRISIS. Four years ago, at the Republican National Convention held at Chicago, a resolution was introduced to reduce Southern representation in Republican National Conventions, and the resolution narrowly missed being carried only by the vote of Ohio cast against it. Ohio voted against it because, and only because, Wm. H. Taft, then candidate for the Presidential nomination, was opposed to the proposition for the reason that it would, in effect, be a sanction of the Democratic laws in Southern States disfranchising colored voters. It was secretly, and openly, charged, at the time, by the advocates of the proposition to reduce Southern representation, that colored delegates from the South were undependable factors who, disregarding their instructions, would transfer their votes to the highest bidder. For weeks newspapers have been carrying statements to the effect that colored delegates from the South could be expected to ignore their convention instructions for President Taft and vote for some other candidates. This is a reflection upon the honesty of colored delegates. There are approximately forty colored delegates, regularly elected, from the South to the next Republican National Convention. The Bee, with all the earnestness it can command, and with deep and sincerest interest in the race it represents and defends, urges all colored delegates to stand loyally by their instructions. If any are instructed for Col. Roosevelt, by all means stand by those instructions. Those instructed for President Taft should under no circumstance or at no man's behest or for any inducement, go back on instructions for the man whose influence alone saved to colored men in the South the right and opportunity to sit as delegates in a national convention If colored delegates to this' convention, who number fewer than sat in any previous national convention, renounce their instructions they will but confirm the newspaper reports that Southern delegates are for sale, and by such renouncement will hasten a crisis that will reduce Southern representation in national conventions. And such a reduction will be aimed at and result in the complete elimination of colored delegates from all future national conventions. The Bee, having every confidence in the fidelity, honesty, and loyalty of the race, takes the position that Southern colored delegates will not hasten this crisis, but that they will stand by their instructions to the last. No man can wantonly disregard willingly accepted instructions and continue to be regarded as a safe, honest representative of his party or his race. HARMONY CEMETERY. Decoration Day brought to Harmony Cemetery a vast concourse of relatives and friends of the dear ones peacefully resting therein. The day was a glorious one, and the spectacle of thousands engaged in the loving duty of distributing flowers and otherwise in seeing that the graves of absent ones were kept green, was an impressive one. The custom is a beautiful one in that it not only brings the living into closer remembrance of the departed ones but also instills into the minds of the young a feeling of respect and veneration for those who made it possible—when living—for them to attain whatever success has attended them. The directors of the cemetery are to be congratulated in having the grounds in such an excellent condition—every care, apparently, having been taken to that end. The directors. The Bee has been advised, contemple making the Harmony Cemetery, so far as utility and appearance goes, equal to any in Washington, and as an evidence of their earnestness, a contract has been given, and work commenced, on a "Gate Lodge." which, when finished, will be a model in every respect. It will contain, in addition to complete up-to-date office equipments, living quarters with all modern improvements, for the assistant superintendent and family. In addition to this much needed improvement, plans are being prepared for comprehensive improvements in the roadways and foot walks of the cemetery. Closely following will be the destruction of the present receiving vault and a new, up-to-date one erected in a more central portion of the cemetery. The Bee is glad to note these contemplated improvements and congratulate the directors for keeping apace with the progressive sign of the times, and in making Harmony Cemetery the resting place for the departed dear ones a sad, pleasing place to visit. RUCKER, OF GEORGIA Henry A. Rucker, the ex-Negro barber and ex-collector of Georgia would have some people to believe that he never knew the Editor of The Bee. When a man is caught at his own game and published to the world, how weak he is; it is quite natural that he would attempt to get far under a cloud. Before Henry A. Rucker was taken from his barber shop in Georgia and made collector of internal revenue, he was a very small man. He never secured anything by merit, but he was pushed into a position by such men as Col. Lincoln Johnson. Mr. Williams and other influential colored men in the State. He never opposed the present administration until after he was kicked out of office. There are some Negroes from Georgia of the Rucker and Hershaw stripe, who have never been able to get anything themselves. Hershaw was in office 20 years before he re- ceived a promotion, and then it took Recorder Johnson 60 days to get what Hershaw was 20 years in getting. The Bee has never asked any favors from that stripe of Georgia politicians. The Bee knows that L. M. Hershaw carries two faces, and perhaps a gentle reminder of some of his past acts would be a lesson to him. H. A. Rucker, of Georgia, is hardly known outside of his city, and the only time that he appears in the lime-light is when persuing Ben Davis. The Bee will have more to say about this Georgia combination later on. DISTRICT DEMOCRACY. The secretary of the Negro Democratic League, of this city, wrote to Mr. James A. Ross, of New York, informing him that there was no truth in the statement of the New York Age that Negro Democrats were prohibited from voting in the recent District Democratic primaries. The Age did publish the truth. 'The local Democratic committee adopted a resolution prohibiting Negro Democrats from voting, and after the Age and Bee ridiculed such action on the part of the local Democrats, an order came from Speaker-Clark rebuking the local Democrats and directed them to permit colored Democrats to vote. The Costello Democrats never objected to Negroes voting in the primaries, and it was this faction, with the assistance of such men as Harry King, that the bosses were defeated. The local Democrats have been quite fair on all questions in which Negro Democrats have participated and if the national body would profit by experience. Democratic politics would take an upward move. TEDDY'S BLUFF. If we were looking for the prince of bluffers, we would select Mr. Roosevelt. He would have the country to believe that he is really the Republican party. In one of his recent speeches he declared that if he had the Brownsville matter to go over again he would treat the colored soldiers just the same. IA his Ohio speech he attempted to prove President Taft's responsibility for the discharge of the Negro troops. Mr. Roo-evelt proposes to take Chicago by storm if bluffing will do it. He will be convinced that there are others who can bluff as well as he can. Chairman New will certainly give Mr. Roosevelt to understand that the action of the subcommittee of the National Committee will be sustained. It is now time for the Republican party to see to it that its principles are carried out and that no revolutionary methods are to be tolerated by selfish ambitious candidates. 'Let this bluffer be made to understand that the American people will rule the National Republican Convention. RECORDER JOHNSON. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson left the city for Chicago. Ill., last Thursday evening. He has gone to uphold the dignity of Republicanism in the State of Georgia, and fight the filthy lucre grafters in the Roosevelt combination, who were purchased for forty pieces of silver. Every opponent of Col. Johnson had accepted his defeat until he saw Roosevelt's money in sight. However, Recorder Johnson is everywhere prepared, and before he leaves the city of Chicago, he shall have vanquished his enemy. This alleged Georgia contestant delegation is composed of hungry money sharks, ex-office holders and office seekers. The Fee has every reason to believe that the regularly elected Georgia delegates will be seated. IUDGE MULLOWNEY. The published statement accredited to Judge Mullowney, of the Police Court, is not true. He said that the law would justify a man who caught a man in bed with his wife, because at that moment the husband would have lost his reasoning faculties. Under such conditions the husband is not responsible. The clans are gathering. Some hats are kicked awfully in the ring. It will not go well in the future for the colored men in the South if they sell their votes at Chicago. The Bee does not believe colored delegates will be any more prone to sell their votes than white men. In fact we believe the colored dele- W. E. Andrews and Dr. Levy, the South Carolina delegates who were instructed for Taft and then come out for Roosevelt, claim they never were for Taft, but simply stated they were in order to be elected. It is significant that they did not find out they were not for Taft until after they had paid a visit to Roosevelt's manager. Senator Dixon. Dr. Levy and W. E. Andrews, the flopping South Carolina delegates, may be able to justify their flop to their own satisfaction, but nothing they can say or do will ever restore them in the confidence of the race. When a man flops at a time when that flop is liable to have the appearance of bargain and sale, he must not be surprised if decent people regard him as a man without honor. Mrs. E. Peake, widow of the late Luke Peake, will leave the city shortly for her old home in Virginia, where she hasn't been for a number of years. On her return she will resume the business in which her late and devoted husband was so successfully engaged. Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson left, the city Thursday for Chicago, Ill., where he will remain until after the Chicago convention. Miss G. B. Maxfield has been appointed by Recorder Johnson a comparer in the office of the Recorder of Deeds. The position is nothing new to her, because she has been engaged in similar work for three years. Miss Maxfield is no doubt among the leading female journalists of this country, although she is quite young. The Lee extends its congratulations. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. (Continued from page 1.) Wolph C.

West Commercial college—Miss-e Ethel K Duchiss, Blanche G. Lutterloh, Alice G. Martin, and Henson Johnson. The seventeenth annual banquet of the alumni of Howard University was held Wednesday night in Minor Hall, at the University. Among the speakers were W. H. Lewis, an Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Lewis gave a brief review of Negro progress. He declared that the future held much good for his race if they would strive for educational and moral improvement. Bishop Thirkield, former president of the University, also spoke, as did George H DeReef (toastmaster). Thomas H R Clarke, R C Bruce, the Rev' Scott Wood, the Rev' G F. Fraser Miller, Dr. S G Ellbert, John W. Manoney, A M Curtis, James A. Cobb, Dwight Oliver Wendell Holmes, the Rev. L B Livingston Prof. Kelly Miller, J. C Napier, and J C Sinclair. Dr. Thirkield's Successor. (From Durham (N C) Reformer). Dr. Thirkield's elevation to the bishopric leaves a vacancy at Howard to which any colored man might feel honored to aspire. To say that there are no colored men capable of filling such position is a mistake which none but the most prejudiced would dare make. There are men among the colored people who possessed the qualities which could tell for the advancement of Howard University Dr. J. E. Shepard, of our city, is possibly the best all round man that could be relied on to keep the school up to its present progressive pace. Following the suggestion of The Bee, the trustees would do themselves credit should they tender the leadership of that institution to our aggressive fellow townsman. NOT VOICE OF PEOPLE. Less Than 10 Per Cent of Total Vote Cast in Presidential Preference Primaries. All told in all of the Presidential preference primaries, in fact in all primaries in all the States, not more than 1,500,000 votes have been cast in this preliminary battle for the Presidential nomination by both Democrats and Republicans. This, to the politicians of the two dominant parties, is a very significant feature in view of the fact that in the Presidential election of 1908 the total popular vote for all candidates was 14,888,442. With the increased population according to the census of 1910 there is every warrant for the belief that the total popular vote in November next may be 15,000,000. And the politicians point out that all the reuctions, all the friction, the abuse, the personalities, the misrepresentations on the part of candidates and the lavish expenditure of money have only brought out an expression of about 10 per cent. of the voters in the great national struggle. Ask J. S. Jones for The Bec. (By the Sage' of the Potomac.) I saw Dr. Shepard down at the Union Station last Monday morning taking the train for New York. I said "taking the train," and I said "taking" advisedly. Dr. Shepard is taking everything in sight now, for that institution of his. He is constantly on the go, so constantly that a Pullman sleeping car is becoming to be his regular abode. Now speaking about the availability of a colored man for president of Howard University makes me say a few things, and think a few thoughts about Dr. Shepard, fifteen years ago, or when he was a mere government employee around Washington if anybody had suggested the possibility of Shepard ever heading an institution, that somebody would have been given a ride over to St. Elizabeth, and all the promenaders of Avenue de Nig, and other de Nig Avenues would have proclaimed the ride was justifiable. Yet here we have Dr. Shepard building a university, and raising all the dough for it by his lonesome. Dr. Shepard has just shown that a colored man can do it sure if he makes up his mind to do it. Now if Dr. Shepard can start with a two-cent postage stamp and build a university, according to the dope I have got cornered in my dope can, some colored man, somewhere, ought to rattle around in Dr. Thirkield's shoes up at Howard. Now I ain't picking Kelly Miller, George Cook, Dr. Dunnell, Dulois, or Prof. Moore to win the sweepstakes, cause all of them are my friends, and I hate to say anything against of them, but as a general proposition, I just want to go on record as believing that if you can find a colored individual who can hipnotize white folks into giving thousands of dollars for colleges away down South, you certainly ought to find some man with a mauve complexion who has sense enough to rule Howard's roost. Dr. Booker Washington compiled a list of millionaires, and was able to get on speaking terms with most of them. He at least spoke to them loud enough and often enough for them to hand over to him a mighty healthy sum for Tuskegee. And you hear me, Booker's still talking to them, in the same old plaintive and persuasive tone of voice. Then Dr. Shepard, he came along with an idea of a different institution from any other, a religious training college, and he compiled a little list of millionaires, and if you ever drop down to Durham, N.C. and see his broad acres and his pile of brick buildings, you will return with the idea that Dr. Shepard has made himself heard to at least a few millionaires. Of course most of these fellows who draw $55 and $75 per month from Uncle Sam's treasury here in Washington, and who have applied for a patent on "knocks," will tell you it would be a calamity to elect a colored man president of Howard. But I figure that there must be one or two more hustlers in the race like Dr. Washington and Dr. Shepard. If these two could plough, sow and reap there must be a few other ploughers somewhere about. But coming back to Dr. Shepard, you just naturally got to take your hint off to this tall, lanky Tar Heel boy. "He thought a thought and then went out and done a thing." I like his nerve. I like his grit, and I like his push. Some of these days you will see Dr Shepard's name plastered all along the railroad tracks, just the same as Mennen's Talcum Powder is now Dr Shepard didn't go out and try to initiate some other fellow; he didn't go fishing in the hole where some other fellow was fishing—he built his own platform. He put himself in position to help the other fellow and get the other fellow's help at the same time. A National Religious Training School like his don't run counter to the so-called industrial and higher education schools Dr. Shepard is getting his and he ain't trying to stop the other man from getting his. That's what I admire about most of these Tar Heel boys. Now there's Dancy, for instance. Dancy doesn't give a tinker's damn what you get so he gets his. Henry Clay Tyson (he's about ten degrees darker than the real Henry Clay) would let you have the sun, moon and stars so long as you let him have his Armond Scott would not care if you had a whole garage full of automobiles and all the corporation practice, so long as you permitted him to retain his little automobile and Washington Police Court practice. And there's Goins, and John Howe, who took an early train out of Wilmington, never to return; both of these turpentine boys would not lose your moment's sleep over what you have or what you expect to get so long as you let them have their little bunch of success they crave for themselves. If there is one thing I do admire about a North Carolinaian, it is that never knocks the other fellow so long as his own cow gives milk. But if you try to keep a North Carolinaian from getting what he thinks is his, then you may expect to be hammered. And when a North Carolinaian does join the hammer brigade he is a regular blacksmith shop and a whole anvil chorus. Now it's different with that other breed of pups across the border—the South Carolinians. Take the average South Carolinaian and he wants the earth, sun, moon and stars. That orily leaves you a promise. Butchering has got down to such a science now that when a hog is killed the only thing about the hog that is not saved and utilized is the squeal. A South Carolinaian will even muffle your squeal. A South Carolinaian thinks he's better than anybody on earth. A North Carolinaian simply thinks he's good as anybody on earth. A North Carolinaian will divide an apple with you, and once in a while you will run across an extra good one like Dr. Williston, who will give you the whole dapple apple and watch you eat it. But a South Carolinaian will quietly, audaciously and greedily munch the whole apple and tell you plainly "there ain't goin' to be no core." Now Dr. Shepard is a typical North Carolinian—he believes in ting you have your peck of oat; you let him have his bushel, of corn. There's just as much difference between a North Carolinian and a South Carolinian as there is between a pike of moonshine and a pint of bonded liquor. Excuse me, but I was born in North Carolina. AN EDUCATED BISHOPRIC Rev. Dr. James E. Mason, secretary and lecturer for Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., is visiting the city for a few days en route North to speak for his work. For years he has been one of the foremost men in the Zion M. E. Church. As a platform orator he stands in the front rank regardless of race. He is a conservative progressive, with high ideals and urges the imperative need of better qualified representatives in the pulpit. His recent contributions on divorcing the Episcopacy of his church from politics—emphasizing the sacredness of the Bishopric, were thoughtful and eloquent. He was one of the leaders at the recent General Conference of his church opposing more Bishops. His article in the Star of Zion on the place, and the importance of the preacher in the uplift of the masses of the race is so expressive of what this paper believes, we present to our readers the following extracts In the earlier times the Bishops were the best educated, and most eloquent men of the race. With ninety per cent of the race illiterates, they were the principal compendiums of information. Great changes, marvelous transformations intellectually, spiritually, socially and materially, have transpired within a generation We now have doctors, lawyers, public school teachers, young men and women from the colleges and seminaries well educated; familiar with the polite and popular languages of the day. In order to command the attention and respect of this growing and increasing army among us, that will dominate the life of the race in a few years, we must have intelligent, capable, eloquent Christian men to command the pulpit thrones of power Some writers labor under the misapprehension that more Bishops always spell progress. Those who are familiar with sheep know that they get a disease commonly called "Rounders" some affection of the brain which makes it impossible for the animal to walk straight ahead. It continually moves in a circle. Some preachers are so affected by the "Episcopal menia" that they think by crying "Bishops" they are progressing, when they simply have an attack of the "Rounders." Scores of our principal churches are greatly exercised at present over the existing dearth of qualified pastors—preachers. The pressing demand is for more ministers, capable of leading, organizing and unifying or many-sided membership. Here are fields whitening to the harvest, where are the reapers? Is it possible we can grow men so fast for the highest office, when we are not meeting the demands of our churches for our leading pulpits? Is there not a wide field here for many of the able and scholarly candidates? Moreover it is possible the supreme good depends upon a man obtaining the office of a Bishop. Is the man without that office prevented from doing equal or enduring work in the church? Does God open chambers of secret power and treasures of his love to a Bishop and close and bar them to others? Is the dream and fascination impelling many onward in the strenuous Episcopal race? Think of Beecher, Spurgeon, Punshon, Garnett, Cromell, Price, W. H. Day, Hilles Cadman, Gunsolus, President Day, Goler, Grimke, Hector, M. C. Mason, and Win. H. Brooks and others. What spiritual power is herein represented to make the lives of men bud, flower and frustify. What warmth of life have they sent streaming into the death-like damps of human experiences and activities? With such witchery of eloquence, a Greek would have said, "That on their lips the Attichees have swarmed and left their sweetness." Where can you find names so surpass them in their mastery over audiences, breadth of view and comprehension of issues, unfinishing courage, unfaltering confidence in the triumph of Almighty truth, emblazing their names forever on the scroll immortal. The ages are telling. The mighty social forces for a higher and better Chri-tian civilization are irresistably moving forward. God is calling us to larger and more diversified service. We must prepare to meet the demands. Christ long since has left the tomb. He is risen. Providence is not anchored. Angels do not linger Heavenly minstrelsy ever boats upon some farther shore. To take our proper position in the vanguard depends upon capable and loyal ministers. They are the exemplars to the people for good or ill. What we really need is not more supervision but more inspiration. Clothed with such power, Zion will take on new life, her future will be assured, and the gratitude and praise of on-coming generations will be our forever. SAYS TAFT IS MALIGNED. John Hays Hammond Disgusted With Campaign Against Him Campaign Against Him. A recent cable from Vienna to the New York World says: While the Panama-Pacific Exposition commission was in Vienna this week the World correspondent had a talk with John Hays Hammond, who was ready enough to speak freely on every topic broached, but when asked about political conditions in the United States he exclaimed: "As to American politics I have no opinion to offer other than to express the hope that President Taft will be renominated. The President is a much maligned, misrepresented man. I am heartily disgusted with the manner in which the campaign has been carried on against him.

Payne is president, held its June meeting Tuesday night, June 4, 1912. There were many very important orders passed. Among them was the adoption of the recommendations of the joint committee that the Fairmount Heights and the Fairmount Heights Progressive Citizens' Associations unite and form a strong civic body. Similar action was taken a few days ago by the Fairmount Heights Citizens' Association, of which Sergt Frank Coalman is president. Final arrangements for the union will be made in the next few days, and before June 20, we shall be able to report the crowning of the efforts of the citizens with success. A May Festival. The people of Fairmount Heights were given a glimpse into Fairyland on May 30, at their public hall, when a committee of ladies, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Gertrude Payne, presented a "May Festival." The first, part of the program, consisting of the crowning of the Queen, and directed by Mrs. Adelaide Cardoza, was charmingly executed on a flower and vine decked stage by the children of the neighborhood, who appeared really fairy-like in the beautiful fancy costumes made by the ladies in charge.

Another much admired feature was the winding of the May Pole by six couples of little girls and boys, carefully and efficiently drilled by Mrs Helen B. Cardozo. The Festival proceeds, of which are to benefit the singing school of the Presbyterian Church, set a high standard for similar entertainments in the community, and was greatly appreciated by a large audience. Sunday morning, June 2, Rev O C Sprague preached a soul-stirring sermon. After the sermon the doors of the church were opened, and to the great pleasure of the pastor and congregation, Mr. Frank Coalman enlisted in the army and pledged thereby to fight against sin, the flesh and the devil. There were great rejoicing. This year is destined to be the year of jubilee in Fairmount Hights. The choir is being reorganized, and we have every reason to believe that the singing will come up to the standard set by its worthy leader, Mr. W. H. Addison. After the morning service of the Presbyterian Church an important business meeting was held. The pastor and official board of the M. E. Church have invited the officers and members of the "Old Maid-" convention to render their drama at the church when convenient Sunday night, June 2, while the fervent pastor of the M. E. Church was exhorting his hearers to have faith in God, the elements were tempestuous. Suddenly came a streak of lightning and then the sound, as it were, of a heavy cannon. When the congregation recovered they found that the great "I Am" had demonstrated his power, and many shingles were torn from the roof of the church. Rev A. Randall, of Deanwood, D. C., and his co-workers, are using all their energy toward establishing a M. E. Church in the near future. He has purchased the ground, and is making arrangements to build. Lawyer J. Lewis Taylor spent a few days in Norfolk, Va., the past week. Mr. Taylor is a successful lawyer. Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, the architect, has just completed plans for out buildings on the public school grounds. Mr. R. S. Nichols, representing the school trustee board of which Messrs. James F. Armstrong and W. S. Crouse are members, went to Upper Marlboro, Md., for the purpose of securing additional supplies for the school. Their appeal was urgent, and secured an additional sum of two hundred and fifty dollars for the citizens of Fairmount Heights. Rev. James W. Cobb, pastor of Burah Baptist Church, East Dean, reports that his work is progressing nicely. He has a full body of officers and teachers in the Sunday school, and forty pumps. Rev. Wm. McDowell, a member of the quarterly conference of Lane's Chapel, Washington, D. C., has made all preliminary arrangements for the establishment of a colored Methodist Episcopal Church in Lincoln, D.

Jewelers derive their gold supply from various sources, such as old jewelry, banks and refineries, but the greater part of the raw gold used by the manufacturer comes from the government. From the refiner the gold comes to the factory in the form of buttons or granules. The refineries employ the waste of, the jewelry shops and by burning off the material portions and subjecting the result to certain processes recover much gold that otherwise would be lost to the trade. For many years there was a steady drain on the gold coin in circulation, caused by the use of the coin by jewelers in search of raw material. The fact that our government turned out a coin that after passing through the assay office was of twenty-two carat fineness, only two grains below the pure gold standard, and had also been worked over, the silver and copper forming the alloy having been mixed thoroughly in the gold before the coin was minted, made the gold coin particularly attractive to the jeweler. The manufacturer experienced no trouble when the gold coin was used, inasmuch as the alloy always had been combined with the metal, and all that was necessary for the commercial utilization of the coin was to alloy it sufficiently to bring the gold down to the point required; also, from the jeweler's viewpoint, a lot of time and difficulty was saved, inasmuch as this scheme did away with much bookkeeping and rendered unnecessary the trying up of considerable amounts of money in the purchase of raw material to be held as stock. Later, however, the government made up the pure gold in brick or bar form, and it is in that shape the greater bulk of the supply is now derived. Thousands of dollars pass between the banks and the manufacturing jewelers every year in the forms of bars of gold, the banks handling these for the benefit of their clients. The bricks vary in value according to weight from $200 to $500 and come with the government assay office stamp as a guarantee of purity and fineness.—New York Press. STANDARD MEASURES. The Old Bucket and the Half Bushel Basket Were Alike. Farmer Giles had heard rumors of the short weight scandal; but, as for himself, he was honest in thought, word and deed. He was naturally incensed when an apple buyer from the city objected to his half bushel measure. "I've used that red bucket five years," he said, "and I know it's correct." "A dozen years' use wouldn't affect its correctness," was the reply. "Have you any other reason for thinking it is correct?" The farmer controlled his anger and after a moment's thought led his critic to the corncrib and showed him a basket woven from hickory splits. "That measure twice full fills this," he said. "And this holds exactly a bushel." "How do you know it does?" "Because Bill Sullivan made it, as he makes baskets for everybody, and he said it was a bushel." Still the man was not satisfied. They went to interview Bill. "Why of course," said the basket maker, "I weave one of them of an exact size. I make only one pattern basket to hold a bushel." "But how do you know the pattern holds a bushel?" "How do I know? I'm sure of it. I made it originally to hold two of this half bushel basket." "And this half bu-shel basket?" Bill frowned and pulled his hair in an effort to remember. Then his face brightened. "Why, yes," he said, "I'm sure of it. I tried it one time, Gilles, by that old red bucket measure of yours!" — Youth's Companion. The Way to Bake Beans. To make baked beans soak one and one-half pints small white beans overnight in soft water. In the morning drain and parboll, but not enough to crush the beans. Place in the bottom of a bean-pot several slices of bacon (salt or fresh pork), then put in about half the beans, over which sprinkle salt, a heaping spoonful of brown sugar or New Orleans molasses, then more slices of the bacon. Over this place the rest of the beans, with the salt, sugar or molasses and bacon on top. Cover with soft water and bake at least eight hours, though they are better if baked all day. Add soft water as needed. The High Hatbox. If you keep your hatbox on a high shelf in a closet you may find the following suggestion worth trying: Slit open the two upright edges of one side of the hatbox, so that when the cover is raised this side will drop down as if on hinges. This will allow you to remove or replace the hat without taking the box from the shelf.—Harper's. Hia Sincerity. "I was surprised when I heard that Grabrox had joined the church." Grabber had joined the church. "I wasn't. I happened to be present when he and his business partner shook dice to see which member of the firm should join."-Indianapolis Journal. In His Line. "He is building an immense artificial mountain on his country estate." Well, I guess it comes sort of natural for him to put up a bluff."—Pearl. DUCKING A SCOLD. A Custom Quite Popular at One Time In This Country. WOMEN ALWAYS THE VICTIMS. In Colonial Days Ducking Stools Were Common In Maryland, In Virginia the Penalty Was Often Inflicted, and Georgia Sinned as Late as 1819. Nowadays if a woman forms the habits of talking too loud and too long or insists upon saying unpleasant things in wrong places and at wrong seasons there are several things which may happen to her. If she is a person of some social standing her husband may get a divorce, or if she belongs in one of the lower strata he may leave her without that little formality. If she makes life too unbearable for the neighbors she may possibly be arrested and fined. If she lives in England and interrupts the proceedings of parliament, calls names, chases dignitaries to cover whenever they show themselves in public and knocks off policemen's helmets she is called a suffragette and sometimes imprisoned. But even the most "obstinately opprobrious and virulent woman," to quote the stately Addison, may be confident that she will escape the punishment meted out to her sister of old. What ever happens, she won't be sentenced to the ducking stool. In many ways modern life is tame and lacking in dramatic incident for a self assertive lady, and even the English suffragette complain that they are not taken seriously enough. No such claim could have been made in the past, say between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, when far more rigid views prevailed on the subject of feminine self repression. In those days magistrates were unmoused in the conviction that "meekness is ye choosest ornament for a woman" and it was held a crime to speak "discornfully" of those in authority, civil or ecclesiastical. A woman must not even indulge in too great freedom of speech in the privacy of her own home and neighborhood. Sometimes she did, and then she was attended to in a simple yet spectacular manner. She was bound securely to a stout chair firmly fixed to the end of a long beam, arranged to work up and down on the principle of the seesaw, on the edge of a river or pond. On the bank at the other end a man worked the contrivance by means of a strong chain, and she was given a ducking, which lasted until justice was satisfied or reform was promised, the populace of course gathering in large numbers to assist at the function. In England the practice was so general that each town had its ducking pond conveniently located where petty offenders of various kinds were disciplined. The pond for the western part of London was what is now a portion of Trafalgar square, Charing Cross. Many of the old ducking stools are still in existence as curiosities. In the days of their activity they were kept in the church porches, where they doubtless pointed a moral as to the haughty spirit which goeth before a fall. The first colonists brought the institution to this country, although it never flourished in New England. In fact, there are no authentic records of the actual use of the ducking stool in these colonies, although a number of women were sentenced to be so punished. They had, however, other methods of treatment for ladies of a shrewish disposition, one of these being the wearing of a cleft stick upon the tongue. In the central and southern colonies the custom was quite popular. In the seventeenth century ducking stools were in every county in Maryland, and in 1775 one was placed at the confluence of the Ohio and Monongahela rivers. In Virginia the penalty was often employed, and in 1634 a Thomas Hartly of that colony wrote, it is said, to Governor Endicott of Massachusetts, giving a detailed account of a ducking administered to "one Betsey, wife of John Tucker, who by violence of her tongue had made his home and ye neighborhood uncomfortable." After describing the machine he adds: "Ye rope was slackened by ye officer, and ye woman was allowed to go down under ye water for ye space of half a minute. Betsey had a stout stomach and would not yield until she had allowed herself to be ducked five severall times." After she promised to "sin no more" Betsey was untied and allowed to "walk home in her wetted clothes, a hopefully penitent woman." The duckling stool prevailed longer in America than in England. In the old country it does not seem to have been used later than 1809, but in Georgia women were ducked for scolding as late as 1819. It is interesting to note that in 1824 a woman in Philadelphia was sentenced to be ducked, but the decree was not carried out, as it was "deemed obsolete and contrary to the spirit of the times." A writer on colonial customs states that one of the last indictments for ducking in this country was that of Mrs. Anne Royall in Washington, a lobbyist, who "became so abusive to congressmen that she was indicted as a common scold before Judge William Cranch and was sentenced by him to be ducked in the Potomac. She was, however, not subjected to the ducking indignity, but was released with a fine."—Bellman. When our hatred is too bitter it places us below those whom we hate. —La Rochefoucauld.

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 varied 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. A Quaint Introduction Clarence King, the ethnologist, once wrote from San Francisco to John Hay the following letter of introduction: "My Dear John—My friend, Horace F. Cutter, in the next geological period will go east. It would be a catastrophe if he did not know you. You will 'swarm in,' as the Germans say, when you meet. Lest I should not be there to expose Mr. Cutter's alias I take this opportunity to divulge to you that the police are divided in opinion as to whether he is Socrates or Don Quixote. I know better; he is both." The Macgregors. The Macgregors were forbidden to use their family name in 1603. The prescription was removed by Charles II., only to be indicted again in the reign of William and Mary. 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."

A Turkish Biddle Here is an old Turkish riddle which has been handed down for many centuries and yet has never been answered: "There was once a beggar who always dreamed he was a pasha, and there was a pasha who always dreamed he was a beggar. Which was the happier?" "Everybody worries about money." "Oh, I don't know. Some men are so rich" "That's just it. Poor men worry because they can't get money, and the rich man worries for fear that it will get away from him."-Philadelphia Ledger. Each day is a stone in the great temple of life.

MOLDED · HIS DEATH TOLL Legend of "the Poor Sinner's Bell" That Was Cast In Breslau In the Year 1386. 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. Saves 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. Holsteinus, 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 VL., 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 fleth 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 gobblins in my life." --- Daffodil Superstitions. Daffodils 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 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 tontobane, 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.

He told of the mode and custom of the people of the countries he visited and the hospitality shown the entire party. He spoke for more than an hour, interspersing his remarks with exhibits of souvenirs gathered on his memorable trip. After the lecture everyone partook of a very dainty repast. Music was furnished and the fact displayed that many were adepts at skipping the fantastic toe. The club will convene again next fall. Drug Stores. Dr. E. L.

S Street's "goo" Block! The 900 block of S street, is rapidly passing into the hands of colored owners and tenants. Up to two years ago, and for many years previous, there was but one colored family in this handsome square—that of Mr. Daniel Murray. Benjamin Washington broke the ice by purchasing the property adjoining that of Mr. Murray. Then the exodus of the whites began, and when their places were taken by additional colored families, a regular panic ensued, and it is now only a question of time when the block will be solely colored. Among the newest "colonists" in this "000" block of S street, are Prof. and Mrs. L. B. Moore, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Tignor, Dr. and Mrs. J.' R. Francis, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. R: W. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. George Henry Murray, and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Jones It is given out that Prof. and Mrs. W. A. Hunten and Dr. Julia R. Hall have purchased property in the square, and will soon join the "colony." The block is facetiously styled "the new colored millionaire's row," a title first bestowed upon the 1900 square of Eleventh street. Training School.

M Street High School professors and the faculty of Baltimore. High School met at baseball Saturday on the campus of Howard University for the first time and after awful carnage, M Street veterans were declared winners by the score of 22 to 16. During some of the innings flashes of major league ball scintillated; at other times the cellar league champions of Pohick county had the playing of the Profs in the shadows. Reckling, of Baltimore, and Cromwell, of M Street, pitched nice ball, but wabbling support weakened their efforts. Cook and Wilkinson held up their pitchers in splendid style. Callis, of Baltimore, was kept busy chasing home run drives by Menard, Carter and Henderson, while E. C. Williams had to cover a lot of territory to keep down the score. Williams ran bases just as Ty Cobb would not, and will have to get out and practice to get into his old-time form. "Stuffy" Houston ambled about in true steam-roller fashion on the base paths, and connected heavily at the plate. Holmes, of Baltimore, and Holmes, of Washington, were stars. Tally seems to have struck his stride in center field. Wheeler, Turner, McDaniel, Davis and Jones contributed to the results of the game in errors, star plays and runs. M Street teachers in the game were: Wilkins, Cromwell, Houston, Smith, Menard, Henderson, Douglass, Carter, Helms, and Williams. Holmes, and Baltimore teachers were: Cook. Reckling, McDaniel, Holmes, Turner, Wheeler, Davis, Jones, and Callis. Umpires: Messrs. Beckett and Ralphine. Howard Academy won the seventh annual scholastic meet with M Street High School second and Armstrong High School third. Howard scored 42 points, M Street 31 points, Armstrong 29, and Commercial High 6. Dickin-on, of M Street, garnered 14 points for his school, while Jimmy Burwell and Gilmore tied with 13 points each to their credit. Power of Howard Academy, clipped three-fifths of a second off the record of Desmond for the scholastic quarter mile, running the distance in 5F and one-fifth seconds, and again broke the record in the half mile race, winning in the time of 2 minutes 11 seconds. Jimmy Burwell ran the 220 yard race in a one record time of 23 seconds. Armstrong lost the meet, probably through the absence of George Walker, who was one of the strongest runners on the team. McKinnel also weakened the team by his absence. Graham Burwell was the only competitor from Commercial, and scored six points. Howard Academy will be awarded the large I. S. A. a cup for one year, while to M Street High School will go the P. S. A. L. track championship placque. In the open events Howard scored 13 points; Armstrong, through the excellent running of O. Walker, 11 points; Dunbar Athletic Association, of Baltimore, 9 points, and M Street High School, 3 points. Summary. 100 Yard Dash—Won by J. Burwell, A. T. H. S.; second, Gilmore, H. U.; third, C.

Secretary Matthews, of the 19th Division Athletic League, has reported Birney School, of Anacostia, as the Division champions, which team will contest for city honors with the school champions in the other Division leagues. Most of the games were played on the Cardozo playgrounds in Southwest Washington. Mr. J. C. Bruce, Mr. A. K. Savoy, Mr. Fred Randall, and Mr. Holmes were umpires at the various games. All of the games were well attended by teachers and pupils from the schools represented in the contests. Rain in early April caused a delay in starting the schedule so that many gagnes were pulled off later than on schedule time. On April 23, Ambush won from Syphax School by a score of 28 to 10. April 24, Garfield played two innings and quit with a protest, which was not sustained by the Division Games Committee, and Garfield was declared a loser in the contests. April 24, Cardoza defeated Bell School by the score of 12 to 1. April 25, Lincoln defeated Randall, score 9 to 8. April 26, Giddings School won from Birney, score 12 to 3. April 20, Randall defeated Lincoln, score, 8 to 6. May 1, Randall defeated Lincoln, 11 to 8. Syphax, Rowen, and Bell forfeited to their opponents. The winners of the preliminary series were: Ambush, Cardozo, Birney, Randall, and Giddings. The semi-final series resulted as follows: Ambush 11, Giddings 8. Giddings 14, Ambush 12. Giddings 8, Ambush 2. Birney 10, Cardozo 9. Birney 5, Cardozo 2. Randall forfeited two games to Cardoza. Birney defeated Giddings in the final series. The Games Committee arranged the series so as to determine a winner of schools having a 6 to 7 grade as the highest grade in the building which school Giddings will be awarded a trophy, and the champion team of the Division. Birney, will receive a handsome trophy. FOR SALE Desirable lots in beautiful FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS, high, healthful, and on the trolly line. One car ticket takes you to any part of the city.

Says Sub-Committee Unanimously Approved Senator Root's Selection. Chicago, May. 28. Col. Harry S. New, of Indianapolis, chairman of the subcommittee on arrangements for the Republican National Convention, has issued a statement in reply to Mr. McHarg. Col. New said: "It is difficult to believe that such a threat as this should be made. The Republican National Committee is the recognized authority, the official body of the party, charged with certain duties, among which is the making of necessary preparations for an orderly conducted convention. "Incident to this is the selection by the committee of temporary officers whose duty it shall be to preside over the earlier deliberations of the convention and until the convention itself, in the regular way, can provide for its own permanent officers. "The name of Senator Root occurred to my mind without previous consultation with any one, as that of a Republican whose great talents and eminent position made him conspicuously and pre-eminently qualified to perform the duties attaching to the temporary chairmanship. "The members of the subcommittee on arrangements unanimously approved Senator Root's selection and not the least objection to him had come to my ears from any member of the Republican National Committee.
