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 NO3 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JUNE 22, 1912 HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOWARD UNIVERSITY FINISHING AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Additional Incidents of the Great Commencement at the Race's Foremost School for the Higher Education. Attorney-General Lewis Emphasizes the Value of Physical Training as an Ingredient of Success—Bishop Thirkield's Touching Valedictory. Alumni Reunion, Ground Breaking and Banquet—Holmes Again President of Association—Prizes Awarded. Last week The Bee gave a graphic story of Howard University's greatest commencement, with noteworthy incidents, and list of graduates. Owing to the necessity for going to press early, much valuable information was crowded out. Mr. Lewis Emphasizes Value of Physical Culture. The principal oration of the day was delivered by the Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant attorney General of the United States. His address sparkled with the wholesome wit for which he is famous, and, while dealing liberally with the facts of history, sage philosophy and wise counsel usually spread before graduating classes, Mr. Lewis laid especial emphasis on the importance of physical training to the men and women who would acquire a symmetrical education and get the most out of life. Physical culture, he argued, is an indispensable aid to success. "A man may crowd his mind with the lore of the ages," said Mr. Lewis. "He may he a profound scholar, versed in letters, mentally equipped to grapple with the greatest problems of law, church. State or business; but if his body has been neglected, if his physical being has been trained to form an enduring foundation to his powers of mind and soul, he will be handicapped in the race of life. He will not be able to stand the strain necessary to hold his place in the line, and he will be incapable of rendering the degree of service which his mental equipment would lead the world to expect of him. To work or to enjoy, the man or woman must have a 'sound mind in a sound body.' It is of the highest importance, therefore, that the whole man be educated, if a well-rounded man is to be sent forth to labor for the common uplift." Mr. Lewis made an eloquent plea for a prompt establishment of the $25,000 gymnasium that is to be erected on the campus through the efforts of the Alumni and friends of the University, and urged that physical culture be made compulsory—a required element of the curriculum of all of the schools for the training of our men and women. Mr. Lewis struck a popular chord in this advocacy, and received a hearty note of approval when he quoted an eminent authority who believed that the conquering power of nations came from the development of the "brute," man, and held that the British victory at Waterloo was on the -foot-ball fields of Oxford, Eton and Rugby. Bishop Thirkield's Touching Valedictory. Perhaps the most touching episode of the eventful day was the "valedictory" of Bishop Thirkield as the official head of the University. After conferring the diplomas and degrees, the retiring president voiced his heartfelt thanks for the many honors that had come to him during the six years of his incumbency here. The generous support he had received at the hands of the faculty, the student-body and citizens at large, had been a source of strength to him and had enabled him to put his entire self into the work. Appreciating the high tribute paid him in giving the name "Thirkield Hall" to the new $90,000 science building, the bishop hoped his life would be a vindication of the judgment of those who saw fit to thus honor him before his death. He gave grateful acknowledgment to Chairman Fitzgerald, of the House Committee on Appropriations, who came to the rescue when the provision for the science hall was about to fail. Reviewing the constructive work that has been done "on the Hill" in the past six years, Bishop Thirkield landed the broad-minded Secretaries of the Interior, Messrs. Garbell, Ballinger, and Fisher, for their practical sympathy at all times, and referred feelingly to Andrew Carnegie, who gave the magnificent Carnegie Library, which had generated upon the campus a new intellectual atmosphere, and afforded a center of culture and refinement for the school. He spoke of the new hall of Applied Sciences, where, mechanical and electrical engineering are taught, and to the ample heating and lighting plant, which will meet all the needs of the University and of Freedman's Hospital for many years to come. He invited the audience to visit the campus in the evening and see the electric illumination, which would be displayed at its full power. "More than brick and stone, however," declared the Doctor "I value in a larger degree than anything else of which the University can now boast, the 'Howard spirit' that has been developed here—the spirit of doing-things in the very best way, and doing them promptly and cheerfully." "Not numbers, but quality," has been his motto, and he is gratified that the school has both. Concluding his engaging address, Bishop Thirkield said: "My new field of labor will be New Orleans. I go there with pleasure, because of the rare opportunity it gives me for the continuation of the work I have tried to do for the people who stand in the greatest need of help. For years I have been saying to you 'Go South!' and meet the largest needs of your race. Now I say to you 'Come South!' where golden rewards are offered for valient service It is with a joyous sense of concession that I leave Washington to give my life to the service of all men of all races." Many in the vast audiences were moved to tears by the earnestness and sincerity which marked every utterance of the departing chief, executive. Awarding the Prizes. Prizes for excellence in various lines of useful endeavor were awarded as follows: Wilcox prize for best essay on "Political Economy." Paul E. Mowbray initial Economy, Paul F. Mowbray Perkins prize, Miss M. Edna Brown; Perkins second prize, Nellie M. Muander. Perkins prize for elocution, S. Agnes Davis. Perkins prize for oratory, Edgar A Love.

U., Alonzo Smith and Mamie A. Ready. Harold C. Stratton received the $25 scholarship awarded by the College of Arts and Sciences, and Leonard F. Morse was given the scholarship offered by the Teachers' College for the same amount. On the days and evenings from Saturday until Thursday, interesting exercises and reunions were held by the graduates of the School of Theology, the Teachers' College, the Commercial and Academic Departments and the Nurse Training School, all of which were largely attended. Annual Session and Banquet of the Alumni The attendance at the annual session of the Howard Alumni Association was the largest known in the history of the institution. Each of the classes, beginning with that of 1872, was well represented, and the grand march across the campus of this noble army of light and leading to the commencement field, was a highly impressive spectacle. The procession, including the president, faculty and graduating classes, together with the alumni, was fully a quarter of a mile long. Nearly every State in the Union was represented, as were also some of the foreign countries. Rev. T. B. Livingston, of the class of 1901, came from St. Andres, South America. Ground was broken at 3 P. M. for the new gymnasium, which is to be located on the campus north of Miner Hall. Edward W. Turner, of the class of 77, had the honor of turning the first bit of turf, followed by Rev. D. E. Wiseman, and the officers of the alumni association. The spirited contest for officers of the association for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, Dwight O. W. Holmes, of Baltimore; vice-presidents, Rev. D. E. Wiseman, Judge G. W. Atkinson, Dr. W. A. Sinclair and Dr. W. M. Slowe, of Philadelphia; Dr. S. G. Elbert, of Wilmington, Del.; Shelby J. Davidson and Dr. Lucy E. Moton; secretary, George F. Collins; financial secretary, Robert A. Pelham; treasurer, Mrs. Alma J. Scott. In the opening in Miner Hall the annual banquet was held, with Attorney Geo. B. DeReef as toastmaster. Among the speakers were Assistant Attorney General W. H. Lewis, Register J. C. Napier, Bishop W. P. Thirkield, Rev. Scott Wood, of Pittsburg, Pa.; Rev. G. Prazier Miller, of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce, Rev T. B. Livingston, of South America, Robert A. Pelham, and James A. Cobb. The announcement at the general exercises that Science Hall had been named in honor of President Thirkield was made, amid applause, by Prof. G. W. Cook, secretary of the University. The petition asking that this action be taken was signed by Dean Kelly Miller, of the College of Arts and Sciences; Dean L. B. Moore, of the Teachers' College; Dean Isaac Clark, of the School of Theology; Dean B. F. Leighton, of the School of Law; Dean E. A. Balloch, of the School of Medicine; Dean G. J. Cummings, of the Academy; and Dean George William Cook, of the Commercial College. The request was unanimously granted by the Board of Trustees. Resolutions were also adopted by the board and read by Dean Balloch, commending the achievements of President Thirkield and wishing him God-speed in the new work to which he has been called. It is expected that a new president of Howard University will be elected at an adjourned meeting of the Board of Trustees, set for June 23. Dr. Roman Talks to Graduates. Nashville, Tenn., June 19—Dr. C. V. Roman, who made such a gallant race for the editorship of the A. M. E. Church Review at Kansas City, delivered the commencement address to graduating classes of well-known schools at Florence, Ala., Lexington, Ky., Evansville, Ind., Bowling Green and Paducah, Ky., acquiring himself with great credit at each point visited. Dr. Roman is one of the ablest orators and most profound scholars of the Negro race. M. H. PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT. Who Drew First Blood at the National Convention WHAT TOOK PLACE Right on the Job. Washington, D. C. June 14, 1912 To the Editor: For many weeks preceding the annual meeting of the General Alumni Association of Howard University, which took place on June 5th, I wa kept busy acknowledging receipt of letters from the boys in California, Washington, Texas, West Virginia, etc., all asking to be advised as to what should "take place" or be "accomplished" at the annual meeting. It is impracticable to write to each inquirer, and I, there fore, respectfully request the courtesy of your columns for the purpose indicated. As to what was accomplished at the annual meeting, the answer is "NOTHING." As to "what took place at the annual meeting," the answer is "ALMOST NOTHING." As to the meaning of these two answers I will submit a few remarks, the truthfulness of which will be vouchered for generally by those who were present, and will be fully shown by reference to the minutes of the said meeting. The session, scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock, was called to order by President Holmes at 11:40 o'clock. After the reading of the minutes of the meeting of May 30, and December 9, 1911, there was some "loose talk," followed by a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the executive committee. The hall was started to rolling by E. L. Scott, Esq., who offered a motion providing that the chair should appoint a committee on resolutions to which should be referred all resolutions introduced during the session. This was denounced as a "gag-rule" scheme, and when Secretary Waters opposed it on the ground that it was an effort to squelch certain amendments which he proposed to offer in the form of resolutions, the adoption of the motion was then and there a foregone conclusion. This arose from the fact the Miller-Davidson & Co. personal interest syndicate was worn to oppose anything that Waters favored, so that had Waters moved that the association accept a gift of $1,000,000 the motion would have been defeated. Waters thereupon struck out the resolution form of his amendments to the constitution, and held the meadly to be introduced as motions. From this it appears that the only resolutions which the "rump committee on resolutions" had any chance to consider were the rumored resolutions indorsing Kelly Miller for president of Howard University. Fortunately for those belated resolutions they were not introduced, and the poor committee died in labor, becoming thereby a parliamentary still birth. It was a sad event. Next it was proposed to appoint a "rump committee on nominating officers". (It will be recalled that this is the same sort of outfit whose work we shot to pieces last year when we kicked out the then existing administration.) Straightway 'something "dead in Denmark" was scented, and again the bunch locked horns. The situation was cleared by some good brother who moved to the secretary cast the ballot for the re-election of all the officers. Waters arose to unreadiness on this motion, and stated that he positively declined to serve another year. The motion was amended to exclude the secretaryship after which the motion was carried, and the ballot cast accordingly. Afterwards Geo. F. Collins, Esq., of Washington, was elected secretary, Mr. Collins represents the young men as well as some others misrepresent them, and he can be depended upon to give good service in his new position. During the morning session President Thirkield delivered a short address. The bishop was accorded an To the Editor: ovation. The annual address was delivered by Prof. H. C Scurlock. Dr. Scurlock was given a hearty greeting. In passing it seems desirable to record a humorous fact which grew out of the voting, particularly for secretary. Waters called attention to the fact that persons were voting right along who had no right to vote at all for the reason that they were not members of the association. At once there was a scurrying to get on the books. Consternation, for it was found to be one dollar a throw for initiation fee and 25 cents for annual dues. Pemman, financial secretary, was so busy he delegated a friend to assist. That friend happened to be arabian partisan seeking partisan votes. He, therefore, asked no questions, and when he was caught in the act of accepting "a two-bit note" from a chap who was bound to pay one dollar, he thought he was a much abused man. The poor devil recovered, however, and proceeded to grab everything in sight. He's one of the grabbing kind, and of course, belongs to the syndicate. The hour for feeding faces having arrived, it looked as if the syndicate was going to get away for a whole year without so much as making a report of its operations under the patrol of the Central Committee, K. Miller, chairman, when, lo, that horrible Waters, called attention to the fact that the association had by its own action bound itself to do certain things which had not been done. This necessitated an afternoon session and caused the said Waters to be thoroughly despised by the syndicate forces. The call was heeded, however, and the poor, frightened syndicate had to come back at 2:30 o'clock. The Central Committee then reported three things, to wit: that about $500 had been turned into the treasury of Howard University for the gymnasium fund (of which $500 not a cent had ever been seen by the treasurer of the association); a financial agent, Mr. S. J. Davidson, had been employed and had gathered in about $2,200 in subscriptions toward the "gym" fund; that his contract paid him 25 per cent of all contributions not exceeding $100, 20 per cent of all contributions not exceeding $200, 15 per cent of all contributions not exceeding $300, 10 per cent of all contributions exceeding $300 and 10 per cent of all payments made on subscriptions received prior to the date of his contract. A motion was made to appoint an auditing committee to examine the report of the Central Committee. Upon unreadiness called for, certain questions, highly disgusting to the syndicate, were asked. Among these was whether any of the money ever got into the treasury of the association. This question was not answered. Another question related to the action of the Central Committee in voting to donate $100 to the secretary of that committee, and this in spite of the fact that this committee by its own action had* previously held that it could not expend "gym" funds even to the extent of 2 cents for a postage stamp. The secretary of the committee replied that the $100 had not been paid—as yet, but no information was offered as to where the $100 was to come from when finally paid, or who was to authorize its payment. In the session at this time were about half a hundred qualified members, including that genial institution, Dr. Creed W. Childs, who, like the printer whose "Ad." is "I Never Disappoint"—lived up (or rather down) to his reputation for speaking frequently, feelingly and ineffectively. This was especially noticeable when some presumptuous person—curses on him—had the gall to suggest that the per centum paid the financial agent was rather high. Pending strokes of apoplexy were discernable upon the countenance of the leaders of the syndicate when in walked the marshal of the academic procession and sum- moned the body to the graduation. During the afternoon it developed from the report of the Central Committee that a committee had been appointed to memorize the University authorities on the need of an up-to-date alumni catalog. There was no record as to who this committee was, and there was considerable amusement when it was learned that the committee consisted of one man; that he had memorialized to the extent of securing for himself a contract with the University for compiling such a catalog; that the University had to date put about $100 into the project which would call for several hundred dollars before completed, and that he was the same man to whom the Central committee had voted to pay $100. It was apparent that this member of the syndicate was determined to "get his". In closing this rambling account which contains substantially about all that "took place at the annual meeting," without regard for the exact sequence of the happenings, I feel disposed to record just one amusing incident which was furnished by a man known as the Rev. Dr. Scott Wood, of Pittsburg, b'gosh. He wantt "to know whether or not de secretary (Waters) am runnin' dis meetin'?" Folks seemed to expect a little fellow who was sitting there to get up and tell the old man that the secretary was not running the meeting, but it developed that this little fellow was held in his seat by the weight of his title of "Hon." which he alone at all the erudite lawyers in the District Attorney's Office has the nerve to "put off"· (The District Attorney himself is known as just plain Clarence R. Wilson.) I felt sorry for old man Wood, for the recess was taken without his ever finding out who was "runnin' de meetin'." In conclusion let it be said that the motion to audit the report of the Central Committee was neither lost nor carried, the recess having come while members were stating their unreadiness, and there the matter stands today. It was entirely satisfactory to the syndicate, however, who cared nothing for how it was accomplished so long as the meeting broke up without taking any action against their operations. Very sincerely, JAMES C. WATERS, JR. 1339 T Street, N. W. (Col. '04, Law '11.) LAWYER HOUSTON APPOINTED. Former Grand Master of Odd Fellows Named as Member of Board of Education—Spontaneous Public Approval Indicated. The appointment of Attorney William L. Houston as a member of the Board of Education comes as a delightful surprise to the people of the District of Columbia. Last Friday he was named by the Justices of the Supreme Court of the District, to succeed Dr. W. V. Tunnell, professor of history in Howard University. The term is three years. The board is made up of nine members, three of whom are colored. Mr. Houston's colored associates are Lawyer R. R. Horner and Mrs. Carrie Wilder Harris. Mr. Houston has accepted the assignment and pledges himself to give his best services for the benefit of our public school system. No appointment within memory has been received with such spontaneous-popular approval as that of Mr. Houston. "A fine selection!" was the comment heard among all classes when the news came out in the afternoon papers. For hours Mr. Houston's telephone was besieged with messages of congratulations, and his mail has been flooded with letters of like tenor. Mr. Houston is a graduate of the law department of Howard University, and is enjoying a lucrative practice, developed within a remarkably brief period. He is a native of Kentucky, and in his early career taught school at Evansville, Ind. He came to Washington to take a clerkship in the War Department, and he filled this position with credit until he resigned to enter into a partnership with Edward H. Morris for the practice of his profession in Chicago. After gaining an advantageous experience before the courts of Illinois, Mr. Houston returned to Washington and opened an office, and is now ranked with the ablest members of the bar of the District of Columbia. Mr. Houston has served two terms as Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. of the World. His administration is recognized as the most prosperous the order has ever known, and during his four years the membership was brought past the half million mark. At the fifteenth B. M. C. he was elected as an associate justice of the newly-created supreme court of the order, being given the eight-year term, and is now being pressed by his friends to stand at the sixteenth B. M. C. as a candidate for Grand Secretary Besides the Odd Fellows, he is a member of the Masonic Order and a number of other fraternal and civil organizations. Mr. Houston is a young man of fine intellectual attainments, of great force of character, and is a brilliant and effective platform speaker. He is in hearty accord with the existing administration of the Washington schools, and his advent on the board is very gratifying to those who have at heart the welfare of the 15,000 colored children in the schools.

President Taft, in an address Flag Day, before a large patriotic gathering, declared that "we become more patriotic by renewing our vows to the flag from day to day, even as we say our prayers. Mrs. Anna M. Fisher, who was buried last October in Brooklyn, N. Y., was one of the wealthiest colored women there. She left an estate valued at $20,000. Mrs. Fisher was ninety-three years of age when she died. Senator La Follette was fifty-seven years old last Friday; June 14. It was also the birthday of Harriet Beecher Siowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin. Mrs. Stowe was born in 1811, and died July 17, 1896. One of the most remarkable operations performed yet, was performed last week in Philadelphia. It was eye grafting. Owen Harris, a machinist, blind for seven years, has had his sight restored by the removal of the tissues from the eye of another man and grafting them on the eye of Harris. This was one of the most daring operations ever yet attempted. As a means of ventilation, eighty million cubic feet of ozonized air will be pumped every day into the failway tunnels of London. Both Garfield and Providence Hospitals are to get $19,000 each for the care for the destitute of the city. Five Chinese disguised as Negroes were caught by the immigration officials, who say there is no telling how widely the ruse has been successfully worked. A Chinaman is compelled by the law of his country to leave his possessions to his male children. He can make no exceptions in favor of any one It was on account of a complicated spirit which resulted in a split in 1860 in the National Convention, which brought about the election of Abraham Lincoln. He received 1,866,352 popular votes and 180 electoral votes. It is reported that the Washington authorities have no conception of the real situation in Cuba, Unarmed black men who are not insurrectionists are being shot down. Poor, defenseless black women, in many instances fighting for their honor, are being killed. Property losses are shocking. The atrocities can equal only the conditions which existed in the Congo, in Africa. Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Charles E. Hughes, refused to let his name be offered as a compromise candidate at the National Republican Convention. Wendill Soor, of Philadelphia, Pa., having sold newspapers for five years and saved $2,600, will enter college this fall. Col. Theodore Roosevelt received $13,150 from the estate of the late Cornelius V. S. Roosevelt, and he is entitled to one-tenth of the income from the residuary estate, the amount of which is not made public. Mrs. Ann R. C. Cowles, and Mrs. Douglas Robinson, two sisters of the former President, is to receive a like share of the property. There are 239 widows of the War of 1812 still living. At the time of the Spanish-American war there were 2,497 of them. Ten years ago there were 1,317; five years ago there were 558. They draw a pension of $12 per month. These old ladies are dying off at a rate of one a week. Only five of these 239 are widows of commissioned officers of the armies that fought to gain our final independence. One of the largest American flags in the world was unfurled last Friday afternoon with appropriate exercises at the Postoffice Department. The flag is sixty-two feet and six inches long, and thirty-two feet wide. It contained two extra stars, representing Arizona and New Mexico, the two newly admitted States, making a total now of forty-eight States. In Newfoundland there are no reptiles. Neither snake, toad, frog, nor lizard is to be found there. Twenty-nine years ago last Sunday John Henry Newman, who afterwards was made cardinal, wrote the famous hymn "Lead Kindly Light." An abstract of statistics of the population of the United States made by the last census is as follows: United States and possessions, 101,100,000. There has been a growth of 15,977,691 in the last ten years. The opening of the eleventh year's work of Sylvester L. Corrothers at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church will be on Sunday morning, June 23d, 1012. This is the first time in more than eighty years that any one man has ever held an appointment so long. Dr. Corrothers and his officers have already drawn a plan by which they hope to remove the present debt. The church, which is valued at $60,000 is situated in the very heart of the city. It has a membership of eight or nine hundred, and one of the best conducted Sunday schools in the city. The pastor will deliver the first sermon in his eleventh year on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The principals of the fathers applied to the church life of the present time. On Sunday evening he will speak on the power and victory of faith. The public are cordially invited to attend these services. < a ad = a mee ce ® “ = = fom SE” Ue 2 SOS SE axes OE ge ee « ¥ . oy i y ‘ 5 - : : rn eee fact. & > 7? om aese et .

Sobrero escaped death a hundred times by the closest margin and was never able to earn how to handle the explosive with any safety. . About 1855 Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer, learned how to explode the Uquid by detonation. Nobel Bros. of Hamburg that year sent a young man to America to introduce Its use to min- era. 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 meny and causing the neighborhood to rain giass. * It was known commercially at this stage as “glonion” and blew up by ac- cident x West Indies packet at Colon, Killing fifty people and destroying property worth a million dollars. Then {ts 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 Hquid. At last Nobel Jearned to soothe and quiet the liquid by causing it to be ab- sorbed in infasorial earth. It was this preparation that fn 1866 was called dy- namite by Novel.

ENTERING PORT ARTHUR. — It Is Something Akin to Sailing Through a Picture Frame of 7 Rocky Bluffs. Getting into the harbor of Port Ar- thur is something like an Alice in Wonderland trick. One sails through & 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 lake- like body, delightfully protected be- hind sheltering cliffs. The Httle ham- let 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 )dwell- ings, sem{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, 2 hospital, a shady park and a well ran modern hotel.—New Or leans ‘Times-Democrat..

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, thou- sands of years before Christ. The con- gvessman, after examining the {llustra- tion 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 constitu- ent. On another occasion an applica- tion for a patent was filed for a flower basket whose construction correspond- ed In detail with the Scriptural descrip- tion 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.

FOOTBALL IS DANGEROUS. At Least It Was For the Man Whe 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 re walt weird enough to serve as a basis for a detective story or a comic opera. The young Turk had organized & football team ‘among his friends, to- gether with some Greeks and Arme- nians, 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 sub- mitted 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 bell, 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 authort- ties 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 in quired into at the sultan’s palace at ‘Yildiz, and a special commission took the matter {n hand, After much carefa! thought and ex: amination of the evidence of the crims it was decided that there might not be nothing in it, but that it must not be committed again—Harper’s Weekly. UNWRITTEN BOOKS. 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. Moliere planned a comedy under the title “L'Homme de Cour,” which was to be his masterpiece. Nothing 1s known of {t today. Richard Brinsley Sheridan intended to write 2*follower to “The School For Scandal” and “The Rivals.” The subject was “‘Affecta- tion.” It never went beyond a few random notes, For years the paper covers of every new book that Victor Hugo issued con- tinued to announce as soon to be pub- lished a romance entitled “La Quan- quengrogne.” Many posthumous vol- umes of the French poet's writing In prose and verse have been sent forth by his Uterary executors, but of this oddly entitled fiction nothing has been heard. In 1862 Alphonse Dandet an- nounced as in press 2 volume of stort etgries to be seal “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 “Franclllon,” but never given to the public: _ . Roasting an Egg. Every boy and girl down on the farm im 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 search- ed 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 pa- per in a ball is*hard to burn. Well, the wrapped up eggs were put on the Uve 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 bave never ns a small boy roasted such eggs you have missed one of child- hood's greatest joys.—New York Press. How It Got Theres. A gamekeeper was going over his master’s estate ove momning, when he encountered a gentleman of the poach- ing class. The gamekeeper noticed that the other’s hat was bulging in a curious manuer. After subjecting the hat to an examination he found a fine young pheasant. “How did this get here?" the game keeper 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 crawt ed up my trousers leg."—London Tit Bits. —_ A Loan In Fanev, ~ “You won't run any risk. in lending me a thousand francs.

Amusing History of a Royal Daily Ration of Rum and the Astonishing Story of a Stolid Sentry and an Innocent Grass Plot. In Europe there is perhaps nothing more astonishing to the American mind than the persistency with which certain old customs are maintained. The Romans, for instance, keep up the saturnalia of their ancient pagan ancestors in a harmless way, and the Florentines go on one morning of the year to catch crickets in the grass simply because the Etruscans did the same thing 2,000 years ago. John Bull has always had an affection for the old ways. So persistent is he in keeping to the forms and traditions of the past that his French neighbor over the way has dubbed the United Kingdom a "museum of antiquities" among modern nations. It is somewhat odd that the Norman French of Edward the Confessor should still be the language, the legal voice, of parliament, but so it is in a way. Whenever a bill has passed the commons the clerk before he forwards it to the house of lords writes upon it, according to the ancient usage, "Soft baille aux selgneurs" (Let it be sent to the lords). If it is sent from the peers to the commons it bears the like indorsement, "Soft baille aux communes" (Let it be sent to the commons). Should a bill pass both houses it needs only the royal assent to become a law. Here the Norman French appears again. The commons, summoned by the usher of the black rod, are admitted to the bar of the house of lords to hear the statement of his majesty's commissioners. When all are assembled the lord chancellor makes a sign to his assistant, who reads the title of the bill and then says in a loud voice, "Le rol le veult" (The king wills it). In the case of financial bills the form is this: "Le rol remercie ses bons sujets, accepte leur benevolence, et alnsl le veult" (The king thanks his good subjects, accepts their faith and so wills it). For private bills the form is, "Soit fait comme il est desire" (Let it be done as is desired). Sometimes, if the bill is of special importance, the sanction of his majesty is given in person. In such a case the king, seated on the throne at one end of the chamber, bows his assent as the clerk reads the title. The inflexibility of Russian official orders has resulted in some queer and needless fixtures in the official system. "Quite a ludicrous discovery of this sort was made by the Empress Catherine, who was the mother of that Emperor Paul who was assassinated in 1801. Catherine at one time was inspired by some passing whim of economy to scrutinize the imperial housekeeping accounts. To her amazement, she found among other queer items that "one bottle of rum daily" was charged to the heir apparent. Inasmuch as her son, Naslednik, then a young man, had never evinced any signs of intemperate habits, his mother was greatly astonished. Going over the accounts to ascertain how long this sort of thing had been enduring, she found to her still greater astonishment that the said expenditure went back to the day of his birth, and indeed, far beyond it. So, it appeared, the heir to the throne had not only been charged with drinking over thirty dozen bottles of fine Jamaica rum ever since he was born, but for a long time before that. It is hardly necessary to add that the empress made a thorough investigation of this queer entry. Finally, by the aid of an antiquarian, she at last reached the original entry. A century or so before the imperial physician had prescribed for the Naslednik of the period, "on account of a violent toothache, a teaspoonful of rum, to be taken with sugar." This dose was given for several days in succession, and the nurse in charge had deemed it more fitting to the imperial dignity, as well as more profitable to herself, to purchase a new bottle of rum each day. No one had ever given the order to discontinue the purchase, and it had gone on for a century, the rum having constituted one of the perquisites of the court nurse. When Bismarck during the term of his mission as ambassador at St Petersburg was walking one afternoon in the summer garden he met the emperor, who invited the diplomatist to continue his stroll with him. Soon Bismarck noticed a sentry stationed in the middle of a large grass plot. He asked what the soldier was doing there. The czar did not know. The aid-de-camp did not know. So inquiry was made of the sentry himself. "It is ordered." was his reply. Every official gave the same answer, "It is ordered," but nobody knew by whom. A sentry had always stood guard in the middle of that innocent grass plot. The archives were searched, but in vain. Finally an aged official was found who gave the explanation. He had had it from his father that the Empress Catherine had once seen a snowdrop ready to bloom in that plot and had ordered a sentry to stand guard and allow no one to pluck it. For more than a century the watch had been maintained because "it was ordered" and because no one had ever dreamed of disobeying the order or questioning any one as to the reason therefor—New York Press. MODERN OCEAN LINERS. Numberless Safety Devices and Double Hulls That Defy Hidden Rocks and Derelicts. In the hands of a skillful marine architect much more has been accomplished with steel construction than the mere economy of space. The safety of vessels at sea has been enormously increased until in the highest type of modern ocean liners the element of danger is virtually eliminated. The marvelous ingenuity displayed throughout this great fabric of steel in guarding against every possible contingency of the sea comes to the average landsman as a surprise. A great fleet of 50,000 tons may be controlled by a single hand. The complicated machinery for safeguarding the ship is practically automatic. The bottom of the great hull of the liner is doubled, the inner shell being strong enough to float the ship even if the outer hull be completely torn away. It is exceedingly unlikely that wafer would ever reach this inner shell through accident to the main hull, but the precaution is taken so that if it should strike a hidden object it will prove absolutely invulnerable. The shipwrecks of the past caused by running upon hidden rocks, derelicts and icebergs are thus completely eliminated.—M. B. Cea in Cassler's Magazine. STARTLED THE BISHOP. An Untimely Royal Letter and the Message It Conveyed. One night at 3 o'clock the bishop of Orleans was roused by a royal courier who had in hot haste brought a dispatch from his majesty Louis XV. The bishop imagined that something terrible had happened. Tremblingly he opened the package and read: "Monsieur the Bishop of Orleans—My daughters wish for some preserved Orleans quinces. Pray send some. If you have none I beg that you will"— In this part of the letter there was a drawing of a sedan chair, and underneath the chair the king's letter continued thus: "Send immediately into your episcopal town and get them, and, monsieur the bishop, may God have you in his holy keeping, Louis." Lower down on the page was this postscript: "The sedan chair does not mean anything. It was drawn by my daughter on this sheet of paper, which I happened to find near me." Greatly relieved, the bishop hurried a courier into Orleans, procured the preserves and sent them to his royal master—Thomas E. Watson in "The Story of France." Value of New Ideas Some large business firms employ a man whose sole duty it is to read every trade journal, every technical paper or pamphlet and every magazine in order to get new ideas about the conduct of their business. Such information is laid each day before the heads of the various departments, who in turn pass it down the line to men under them and see that the new idea is tested. By this means each worker is kept in touch with what other men are doing in his particular line, and so his personal efficiency is increased. All most everything can be done in a manner a little better than the present way, and modern business demands to know and practice the best.

Blackening of cuffs and shirt fronts by the rubbed off gold is a matter of much annoyance to jewelers when their customers come back, thikking they have bought brass. The skin on the neck as well as on the fingers is frequently discolored by fourteen carat, eighteen carat and, some say, pure gold. An expert says that even in the case of pure gold this coloration of the skin is not due to any particular properties, of the metal, but, rather, is the result of chemical changes in the body or, rather, in the perspiration and natural oil of the skin—Exchange.

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

There are many, and that too not without evidence to substantiate, who claim that along with education the race must achieve material wealth in order to succeed. One of the best illustration Washington possesses of a colored man accumulating wealth as represented in lands, stocks and bonds, is Daniel Murray. Mr. Murray, in a quiet, unostentationary way, has gone ahead and each year added to his bank account and to his realty possessions. Not by sharp practices, but by legitimate deals and purchases. But Mr. Murray has not been unmindful of the necessity of education to enable himself and his race to advance. This is evidenced by the fact that he has burned the midnight oil to make himself a man of no ordinary intelligence and of book learning, and by the fact that he has, and is giving his offsprings the best education possible, sparing no expense. Mr. Murray has not always persuaded a course especially in the matter of Washington public schools, to meet the approbation of The Bee. Fact is his contentions have been censured by this newspaper as contrary to public weal, and the best interest of pupils and teachers. However, we cannot no more expect Mr. Murray's views to at all times accord with ours than he can expect ours to at all times accord with him. It cannot, however, be denied that Mr. Murray is a representative Negro; or that he has not reflected credit upon the race. The Negro bibliography he has been preparing and to which he has assiduously applied himself for years, ought to be a literary production which alone will stamp him as a man with a valuable fund of information and a credit to his race. And his adding five talents to the five given him—becoming, as he is, one of the wealthiest colored men in the community, alone marks him as a remarkable man. And it single him out as one type of men that can be emulated with profit. The race would be farther along on the road of success did it possess more Daniel Murrays. BIG TIME AT CHICAGO. THOUSANDS ARE HERE TO SEE THE FIGHT—TAFT IN THE LEAD—ROOSEVELT'S COMING HAD NO EFFECT ON THE DELEGATES—RECORDER JOHNSON AND NAPIER INJURED—RALPH TYLER ON THE JOB. Chicago, Ill., June 10. I arrived here Sunday afternoon four hours late. We had an eventful time. There, came very near being a wash-out for us. The train had to hold up one hour to enable the crew to repair the track on account of a wash-out. A few miles from Pittsburgh we were confronted with a wreck. No one was injured. Just as we entered Chicago another wreck confronted us. Times are lively, here, and no one seems to know what is what, but the consensus of opinion is that Taft will win. Register J. C. Napier fell from a car last week and broke his nose, and was otherwise injured, while he was attempting to pull the car bell. He is now at the residence of Dr. Daniel H. Williams. Recorder of Deeds Johnson and five of his delegates were injured in a wreck today. The wildest excitement prevails. Col. Johnson is not seriously injured. The convention is expected to be a warm one. There are many New Jersey people in the city. Messrs. Nutter and Lightfoot were on the job today. Auditor R. W. Tyler is a busy man. He has his hands full. Dr. Tindall, Leonard and Robert Bradshaw are here, as well as Dr. Ca paniss and others. Dr. Cabaniss is the guest of Col. Marshal. Aaron Bradshaw, made a great hit before the Credentials Committee. This District delegation was the only delegation that was unanimously voted in. J. R. Willer had no show whatever after Bradshaw's speech. It was the alk of the delegates. He received many congratulations. I shall tell you more in my next. SHOW THYSELE "If you are for me, show thyself," is what the honest man generally says to those whom he has served. It is going the rounds that certain colored men have been to ee Col. Roosevelt and assured him that they are for him, notwithstanding that they are employed under the present administration. It is no honest man who honestly expresses his views. There are some honest colored men under this administration who are not controlled by the blandishments of official favor, and who have come out in the pen and showed their loyalty to the administration. The Bee has never had any faith in the Collector of the Port at Georgetown Whitfield McKinley. Although he declared that he supported the administration ticket, it is a fact that he never voted, but told others to vote or Wilder. The Bee knows that he never voted, although President Daft nominated him for Collector. It is also reported that a few colored men went to Oyster Bay and assured Mr. Roosevelt that they were for him, and the ex-President said, showing his teeth, show me, gentlemen, you must come out and declare yourself. No man can hope to succeed by playing double. If it were possible for Roosevelt to be nominated, he would not retain one Negro under this administration, and there is one Negro who is manly enough to let the Postmaster General, Frank Hitchcock, know that he could not be bulldozed. The administration, as well as Roosevelt himself, must respect manhood in Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia. He has not shown the white feather. He is a man, and loyal to those who are loyal to him. HOWARD'S PRESIDENT. When the nominating committee makes its report this month as to its selection for the next president of Howard University, it,is hoped that the report will show that a careful survey of the men suitable for the position has been made. As has been said before, the next president of Howard University should be a colored man. It is said by some that there is not a colored man capable of discharging satisfactorily the duties of president of the institution; that the selection of a colored man would cause a disruption among the white members of the faculty of the institution and more especially in the professional departments. Can it be said that with an alumni extending over forty-eight States, that there cannot be found one colored man who is capable of discharging the duties of president of an institution for the higher education of the colored race? Even if the selection of a colored man for president should cause a dissension among the white members of the faculty, are there not colored men fully capable of filling the places occupied by the present white members of the faculty? Do not the records prove that the colored professional man is able in every respect to cope with the white professional man? Why then this talk about disruption? Again we say a colored man, and he an alumnus, for president of Howard University. And no man is more suited for president of that institution than Prof. Kelly Miller, who by his merit, efficiency, loyalty and faithfulness is deserving of reward. The fruits are ripe for the harvest. THE PRESIDENT'S VETO. President Tait's action in vetoing the army appropriation bill can but be indorsed by the best thinkers of the country. While the bill was passed under the pretense of supplying money for the purpose of supporting the army, the real purpose was not such. The real object seems to have been to disorganize the army. The passage of the bill would have taken from the Commander-in-Chief the power vested in him by the Constitution: it would have taken from the Secretary of War the right of guiding the military policies of that department, and would have kept the President from selecting for his advisers the ablest and best officers No worse piece has passed Congress in many a day. Any effort on the part of Congress to refuse to make appropriations for the army will be a horri ble mistake, and only turn the retention of the country to the re-object of the bill which has been vetoed. There are other bills pertain to supply weighed down with presitions of a kind that on the merits would not pass the President; Congress ought to stop a consider whether any further tempt to tamper with the efficiency of the great departments. two, while, on the grounds that that President will not veto such bill DR. DAVIDSON. Dr. Davidson, has shown an interest in the colored schools this is most commendable. He has supported Assistant Superintendent Bruce as one educator and efficie executive should support a capa and efficient subordinate up whom he is obliged to rely for results from his particular department. The colored people of the city cannot offer any complaint against Dr. Davidson. He has best kind, sympathetic, but firm in persuasing a course for the best interests of the many rather than the few; for the best interests of the pupils rather than the coterie of selfish promoters of discords. NEW BOARD MEMBER. We congratulate W. L. Houston upon his election as member of the school board. He ought to make a fair, square member, and we be lieve he will. There will now be an end to the deplorable condition that has prevailed—three colored members standing for discord in the colored schools, while the six white members fought, for harmony. Mr. Houston will hold up the hands, and support our capable assistant superintendent. You will not find him intriguing to bring about discord. You will not find him forming an unholy alliance with two malcontents. There are some whose return from Chicago is like Napoleon's return from Moscow. Last Saturday R. R. Horner was seen to take the train for Chicago. For what? * Chas. Banks, who made such a mysterious, sudden and suspicious flop at Chicago, may get over the soreness that followed, but he will never look the same to most people. Prof. Tunnell, we presume, has joined that "chorus which is singing Republic's are ungrateful." Well professor, we warned you, but you ailed to take our warning. Anyhow, you are better off. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. To Be Held in Chicago—Delegates from Nearly Every State in the Union to Be Present—Local Chicago Committee at Work. The thirteenth, annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Chicago, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22 and 23, 1012. The local Negro Business League of Chicago has secured the Seventh Regiment Armory for the occasion. Delegates intending to be present should, as early as practicable, notify W.D. Neighbors, secretary, Chicago Negro Business League, 3517 State Street, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved Last year, nearly every State in the Union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock. Officers of the organization are now earnestly at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program, and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago league is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce joined with the local Negro Business League in inviting the National Organization to meet in Chicago, and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may attend. Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country, and especially from the South, for the meeting. Local leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange for special Pullman or tourist car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as practicable. Some of the strongest men and women of the Negro race will be present and speak at the coming meeting. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, inspiring and successful men and women who are doing their part of the world's work Sessions of the following affiliated organizations will be held at the same time the National Negro Bankers' Association; the National Negro Funeral Directors' Association; the National Negro Press Association, and the National Negro Association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country mong the Negro people. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President. EMMETT J. SCOTT. Corresponding Secretary. J. C. NAPIER. Chairman, Executive Committee. ublic Mer. And Thing by the Sage of the Potomac. I am going to suggest to the college audience theaters here that the rest their ten cent actors to call their vulgar jokes. Most people who attend the motion picture shows with a vaudeville attraction sandwiched in are women, young les and boys. Some of the stars are bad in themselves, but who comes to tying a bundle of virility on to a mummified joke and singing it out to an audience corsed of women, young girls always, Capt Doyle ought to be serious. I like monsense as well as andy, but I can't rest well if I know young daughter vulgarity with motion picture vaudeville. Just it out, gentlemen, if you want to ease the better people and save ourselves from police surveillance. Now speaking about motion pictureows reminds me when I was at the iwatha last Monday night, I hear couple of ladies in front of me missing Tunnell's waterloo. One said What do you think of Mr. Housto eating Prof Tunnell for appointent on the school board?" "I justink it's fine," said the other, "beuse it breaks up that combination and we will get justice." "Yes," rearked the first, "we will get something like a near square deal. Bu think they ought to give us an alter change, and that is the examining board that makes out the examination questions for teachers." Now have heard a lot of bricks go "smack" up against that examining board, of which Mr. Mattingly-seems to be the real cheese, and I have begun to believe that the committee or board, or whatever you call the triumvirate, is about as unpopular as "ding" would be as a resident of Dusont Circle. Somehow or another the impression has got out that there is favoritism shown. I don't know as there is, but sometimes when there is a lot of smoke in the house it is just as well to open the windows and let it flew out. Anyhow, Mattingly has been on long enough, they are saying, to get a change of scene. And speaking about Houston running away with Tunnell in that board of education race, I will bet you four Lincoln pennies to a four day-old claim that Horner won't be able to lead Houston. You know Houston is a fellow who came from Kentucky and all these Kentuckians have to be shown just like Missourians. Horner will have just about as much show of leading Houston as Jim Hudlin has of getting the white folks to quit the New Ebbitt and come up to his corner nickle show-house. Horner thought he had Houston beat, they tell me, but when the returns came out it was all Houston—nothing else to it. I hope Bill will make a reputation for himself. It will no longer be three sable sons of Ham fighting six others just for pure cussedness Now when Horner's time is up I suggest that he resign and let Dr. Williston Dan Murray, or Dr. Curtis, or some other real straight man have a chance at the place. Horner, if he can read the signs of the zodias, ought to resign now, so as to give plenty of time to arrange for the obsequies. It looks to me like we are going to have a new deal all around, and that harmony is going to follow turmoil. I may be a bit off, but away up in my cranium there is two-by-four belief that those people who live in glass houses and who have been throwing sticks, stones and lead pipes had better cover their glass roofs over with a lot of hoards—two-inch planks, because something heavy may drop on them and break a few panes out. \*\*\* Well. I guess they will decide that momentous question who will be president of Howard University, next week. If they are going to give us a white man, let's hope they won't turn the university over to some little two-hy-twin man who acts like a perfect little lady, or to some cheap preacher who has been preaching the same sermons for years, at about $1,200 to $1,500 a year. Everybody I have heard talk says it is really time to elect a colored man, and Kel'v Miller seems to have the popular call. Of course we small fellows down in the city can't dictate to the trustees, but we small fellows who have distributed our elves gratis throughout the various towns and villages may exert a lot of quiet influence to help build Howard up, and a fellow just naturally, you know, likes to boom some institution in which a colored man has got the chance to go from coal heaver or general factotum to the head of it. But we make the sign of the cross for all concerns that hang out a sign "Negros' rise limited." Now I am just hoping that the colored trustees at least will stick together like New Orleans molasses, for a colored man for president. There are heaps of colored men who can fill Thirkield's shoes. Give some one a trial STIFF GAMBLING Game Said to Be Run on T Street Near Seventh—Consternation Will Follow If Police Discover the Place. In an upstairs room on T street west of Sg.enth street, and so near to Seventh, as to the visible without glasses, it is rumored that gambling is carried on for the edification, delight and incidentally the moral destruction of young colored men Rumor is current that a certain "actor friend" who is a favorite before the footlights, has been hit hard, during the past few weeks, by the lucky dogs who can "fill", "draw" and "cut" successfully, or who can roll "seven or eleven" at will. The renfezveaux has been so quietly conducted that the linx-eyed police have not observed it, nor heard the rattle of dice or the click of chips. Should the police by accident discover the tiger in his lair, and swoop down upon the "pasteboard fiends and dice harks" den, the arrested inmate ill have but a short distance to ride the Eighth Police Precinct, and is may be some consolation. If captain Doyle gets next, and Judge high or Judge Mullowney calls the recipients up before him, some workhouse sentences will face a few idled fools who think a gambling is an attractive place. It is said at as high as $300 has been known have been dropped at a single siting by a single individual, and that owned diamonds tell the tale of savy losses. There will be constriction in the vicinity of Seventh and streets if the police locate the face when the game is in full blast. Support Taft. Editor of the Washington Bee: My Dear Shr: Will you please give me space in your most valuable paper so say—for years ago Mr. Roosevelt, with all his venerable energy through chairman Hitchcock, of Massachusetts, invented the steam roller, and rolled out of the National Republican Convention at Chicago every delegate that was not a Tait man, and lo, lo, and behold, Roosevelt and his leaders claim that if Taft should be nominated by the same steam roller process, Pennsylvania and West Virginia will not stand for his nomination, and will bolt. Of course I am surprised to read such news from my State (Pa.) and I am more surprised to read that, Mr. Roosevelt had so worked the State of Ohio, where there are so many intelligent colored people. They certainly must be very short of memory not to recollect Roosevelt's treatment of the colored soldiers at Brownsville, Texas. Oh, my colored friends, you who would support Roosevelt in all his efforts to now break up and destroy the party which made him what he is or rather what he was, certainly are making a suicidal mistake. My colored friends, please let me tell you that I see the entire destruction of our constitutional rights and liberties, if the policies of Mr. Roosevelt are placed in the ascendency. Mr. Roosevelt must be overthrown and Tait, our friend, and the true Republican, re-elected President of these glorious United States. R. C. CLAYTON. 730 Clarence St. Lake Charles, La. ALL IN READINESS AT DURHAM. International Ministerial Conference and Summer School Open in July. Vital Problems for Discussion by Best Thinkers of Both Races. Dr. Shepard Not a Candidate for Howard Presidency—National Religious Training School Nearest to His Heart. Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., spent the week-end in the city, en route to Chicago, to attend the Republican National Convention. Dr. Shepard had nothing to say here about politics, although he may have much to say touching men and measures when he reaches the seething scene of action in the Windy City. He had plenty to say, nevertheless, about the subject nearest to his heart, the National Religious Training School, and its forward movements. First of all, Dr. Shepard said: "I wish you would contradict the report that I am a candidate for the presidency of Hoyward University. Howard is a great institution, and to be its official head is an honor of which any educator might well be proud; but I feel called to a distinct work for my people in the Southland, and I would not leave it under any circumstances. I would rather be president of the National Religious Training School than anything else on earth." Ministerial Conference and Summer School Dr. Shepard spoke enthusiastically of the outlook for the approaching Ministerial Conference and Summer School at Durham, under the auspices of the National Religious Training School. The program outlined for the season covers a period from July 3 to August 11, and the attractions offered will be of the highest order. The Ministerial Conference, in which for many months the deepest interest has been manifested by the clergy throughout the land, will open July 6 and continue until the 13th. Ministers of every faith and denomination will be present, and take part in the discussion of the race's most vital problems. Dr. Jesse L. Hurlbut and Dr. W. Y. Chapman will be special lecturers during conference week. All delegates come as guests of the school. The topics to be discussed include the moral condition of our people in the several communities; criminology, sanitation, morality; hygiene, social settlement work, Y. M. C. A. development, temperance, educational methods, fitness of teachers, religious conditions, and civic opportunities. These discussion-lying thinkers will be illuminating and profitable goes without and instructors, who will take part in the conference and appear at intervals during the summer school term, are: Bishop George W. Clinton, Prof. Kelley Miller, Hon. John C. Dancy, Miss Hallie Tunnick, Dr. D. Webster Davis, Prof. T. A. Long, Prof. P. W. Dawkins, Prof. W. H. Boyer, Prof. W. H. Hannum, Dr. S. N. Vass, Dr. W. E. B. DuPois, Mrs. Alice Moore Dunbair, Dr. John E. Ford and many others, Prof. F. A. Clark, of Philadelphia, will be director of the music department: Prof. T. Parker Smith will have charge of the commercial course; Mrs. Clara A. Smith will supervise the teachers' course, and Miss Josephine Pinyon will be director of the Pastime Glubs. There will be continuous religious instruction for missionaries, Y. M. C. A. workers, evangelists, pastors, etc, and a number of modern chaucautua features will be introduced. Those planning to attend should notify Dr. Shepard attone, as the final arrangements are now being completed. All is in readiness for the grand opening, and preparations have been made to entertain the largest assemblage ever gathered on the campus of the National Religious Training School. Dr. Shepard will be present to welcome the guests in person, and will make it pleasant for all who come. DR. WORMLEY RESIGNS. Retires as Demonstrator of Dentistry at Howard University Because of Pressure of Private Practice—Will Fill Concert Eengagements at Intervals. Presented With Massive "Loving Cup" by Senior Class of Dental School—A Proud Record Reviewed. Dr. C. Sumner Wormle, one of Washington's best-known and most popular dentists, has resigned his position as superintendent of the Dental Department of the Medical School of Howard University on account of the extraordinary pressure of his private practice. For eleven years he rendered capable service as the head of this important branch of the race's greatest institution for the higher education of the race, and developed the department from a mere shell into a live school and infirmary, with an equipment second to none in the entire country, and its graduates are found prospering in nearly every State in the Union and in many foreign lands. Last year alone, over $2,500 was spent for materials, equipment and permanent improvements. The graduating class for the current year numbering thirty-four, is the largest turned-out in the history of the University. As a mark of personal esteem and in recognition of his signal services in advancing the interests of the Dental Department of Howard Medical School, the graduating class a few evenings ago presented to Dr. Wormley a massive silver "loving cup," which the retiring "prexy" accepted in a speech expressive of his deep sense of appreciation, and in which he emphasized the paramount importance of service as the final test of good citizenship and professional success. The presentation address, voicing the hearty good will of the students, was delivered by W. H. Whitted, president of the senior class. The other officers are: Leonard E. Sargent, vice president; Walter W. Whitfield, Jr., secretary; J. D. Moses, treasurer: Robert M. Tribbett, chapain; Alex W. Fereebee, sergeant-at-arms. Dr. Warmley was one of the founders of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Association, comprising the thirty-colored dentists of the District, named in honor of the first colored dentist to practice his profession in Washington, and serve two terms as its president He is actively identified with the National Medical Association, and has read some able papers before conventions of that body. He prepared the dental exhibit of Howard University which attracted international attention at the Institute of Dental Pedagogues, held not long ago at Toronto. As an officer in the Mu-So-Lit Club, the S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society and other star organizations, as well as in the choirs of leading churches, Dr. Wormley has done much to advance the civic and social and musical status of the race in this vicinity. A baritone soloist, ranking with Narry T. Burleigh, he has appeared in all of the notable concerthere, and has consented to vary his professional duties, from time to time, to fill a limited number of singing engagements in various sections of the country. Dr. Wormley is a fine type of the "new Negro," and the example he sets in industry, thrift and unselfish service is one that could be imitated with profit by every young man of the race. National Association of Teachers. In every part of the country large preparations are being made to attend the National As-ociation of Teacher-in colored schools, which holds its ninth annual session in Chattanooga. Tenn., July 24th to 28th. Chairman of the Executive Committee, Mr. M. W. Degan, and President W. T. B. Williams, have arranged a program which will be very vital in all of its bearing, running through from Wednesday the 24th to the 28th. As in former years Sunday will be Educational Day throughout the city of Chattanooga. Some of the best educators will speak in all of the churches at the 11 o'clock services; while at 3 o'clock a great educational mass meeting will be held at the city auditorium, where a few of the best speakers and some of the best singer-to be had by any people will constitute the program. As in St. Louis last year it is expected that many thousands of people will gather in the Chattanooga auditorium to hear and cheer the closing notes of the ninth annual session. Sunday, July 28th. Very low round trip reduced rates have been secured on all railroads east of the Missisippi River. Persons from other sections will find it possible to secure the summer tourist rates to Chattanooga and vicinity. Already there is the assurance of more than a thousand delegates at the Chattanooga meeting Gen. Jones Confers With President Taft Cincinnati, Ohio, June 18—During the two recent visits of President Taft to the Queen City, Gen. Joseph L. Jones, Supreme Vice Chancellor of the Knights of Lythias, held important conferences with the Chief Executive. The exact nature of the interviews has not been given out, but it is understood that various phases of the workings of the colored K. of P. were gone over, and the status of the order was discussed at length. In view of the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in favor of the contention of the colored Knights in Georgia, the conferences with the President possess a striking timeliness. It is said that the appointment of Mr. White as Chief Justice was largely due to the President's knowledge of the broad, federal tinge of the opinions held by the Louisiana jurist. 2a 2 e @ -_ 2 Se Oe oo i . .

For many years there was a steady drain on the gold coin in circalation, caused by the use of the coin by jew: elers in search of raw material. The fact that our government tured out 4 coin that after passing through the assay office’ was of twenty-two carat fineness, only two grains below the pore gold standard, and had also been worked over, the silver and copper ferming the alloy having been mixed thereughly in the gold before the col ‘was minted, made the gold coin par ticularly attractive to the jeweler ‘The manufacturer experienced no trou bie when the gold coin was used, in: asmoch as the alloy always had beer combined with the metal, and all tha: was necessary for the commercia utilization of the coin was to alloy 1 sufficiently to bring the gold down te the point required; also, from the Jew eler’s viewpoint, a lot of time and df culty was saved, inasmuch as thi scheme aid away with much bookkeep ing and rendered unnecessary the ty ing up ef considerable amounts 0! morey in the purchase of raw mate Hal to be held as stock.

The Gld Bucket and the Half Bushel Basket Were Alike. Farmer Giles had heard ramors of the short weight scandal; but, a: for himself, he was honest in thought, word and deed. He was naturally in- censed when an apple buyer from the city objected to his half bushel meas: ure. “I’ve used that red bucket five years,” be 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 cornerib and showed him a basket’ woven from hickory splits. “That measure twice full fills this,” be sald. “And this holds exactly a bushel” ‘ “How do you know it does?” “Because Bill Sullivan made it, us he makes baskets for everybody, and he sald it was a bushel.” Still the man was not satisfied. They ‘went to Interview Bill. “Why, of course,” sald the basket maker, “Il weave every 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 bushel basket?" Bill frowned and pulled his hair ir an effort to remember. Then his face brightened. . “Why, yes,” be said, “I'm sure of It I tried it one time, Giles, by that old red bucket measure of youra!’— Youth's Companion. The Way to Bake Beans. To make baked beans soak one and one-half pints small white beans over- night 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 sug- ar or New Orleans molasses, then mote slices of the bacon. Over this place the rést of the beans,-jwith the salt, sugar or molasses and bacon on top. ‘Corer with soft water and bake at least elght hours, though they are bet- ter if baked all day. Add soft water as.needed. % The High Hatbox. i If yeu keep your hatboxr on a high tebelf tp a closet you may find the fol- lowing 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 vou to re- move or replace the hat without taking the box from the shelf.—Harper’s, His Sincerity. “I was surprised when I heard that Grabrax had joined the church.” “I wasa't.

Ehime dies * ese SS edd 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 Lato as 1819, Nowadays if a woman forms the habits of talking too loud and too Jong er 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 ef some social standing her husband may get a divorce, or if she belongs im one of the lower strata be may leave her without that little formality. If she makes life too unbearable for the neighbors she may possibly be ar rested and fined. If she lives in Eng! Jand and interrupts the proceedings of parliament, calls names, chases dignt taries to cover whenever they show themselves in public and knocks off | policemen’s helmeta she is called a suf- fragette and sometimes imprisoned. But even the most “obstinately oppro brious and virulent woman,” to quote the stately Addison, may be confident that she will escape the punishment meted out to her aister of old. What. | orar happens, she won't be sentenced to the ducking stool In many way! | modern life is tame and lacking ip @ramatic incident for a self assertive lay, and even the English suffragettes complain that they are not taken se wtlously enough. ~ £ No such claim conld have been made im the past, say between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, when far more rigid views prevailed on the sub Ject of feminine self repression. Jp those days magistrates were unant- mous in the conviction that “meekness is ye chojsest orniment for a woman,” and !t was held a crime to speak “dis cornfolly” 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 sim ple yet spectacular manner. * : She was bound securely to a stow! | chair firmly fixed to the end of a long beam, arranged to work up and dowr ‘on the principle of the seesaw, ot | the edge of x river or pond. On the ! bank at the other end a man worked 1 the contrivance by means of a strong chain, and she was given a ducking + which lasted until justice was satis | fled or reform was promised, the popu \ lace of course gathering in large num ' Dera to assist’ at the function. 1 In England the practice was so gen eral that each town bad its duckin; | pond conveniently located where pett } Offenders of various kinds were disci i plined. The pond for the western par '! of London was what fs now a portior | of Trafalgar square, Charing Cross Many of thé old ducking stools ar ‘ still in existence as curiosities. In th | days of their activity they were kep {4m the church porches, where the: j Goubtless pointed a moral as to th ; haughty spirit which goeth before 1 |) fall. | The firat colonists brought the inst! ‘| tution to this country, although it nev | er flourished In New England. In fact '{ there are no authentic records of th ‘| actual use of the ducking stool 1 '| these colonies, although a number o ‘women were sentenced to be so pur | ished. They had, however, other mett ods of treatment for ladieg of a shrew ;{ Ish disposition, one of these bein, ‘| the wearing of a cleft stick upon th tongue. In the central and southern colonie 1} the custom was quite popular. In th seventeenth century ducking stool | ‘were in every county in Maryland, an “1 in 1775 one wus placed at the confit I) ence of the Ohfo and Monongahela .ri\ "| ers. In Virginia the penalty was ofte employed, and in 1634 8 Thomas Har ly of that colony wrote, it Is said, t Governor Endicott of Massachusett |; giving a detailed account of a duckin ‘| administered to “one Betsey, wife c §| John Tucker, who by violence of he )] tongue had made his home afd y :] neighborhood uncomfortable.” Aft 1] Gescribing the machine he adds: “'Y tj rope was slackened by ye officer, an 3] ye woman was allowed to go dow -|"ander ye water for ye space of half »; minute. Letsey had a stout stomac | and would not yield until she had a . | lowed herself to be ducked five severa _| times.” After she promised to “sin n + | More” Betsey was untied and allowe _| to “walk home in her wetted clothe ,{ & hopefully penitent woman.” The ducking stool prevailed longe ik America than in England. In th 1 old country it does not seem to hav , | been used Inter than 1809, but in Geo .| 8 women were ducked for scoldin t| 84 late as 1819, It is interesting t g| note that in 1824 a woman in Phil : delphiz was sentenced to be ducke f but the decree was not carried out, ‘}it was “deemed obgolete and contrai | to the spirit of the times."

Some time about the beginning of the nineteenth century Peter Pindar (Dr. John Wolcott) drove a good bargain with the publishers, Robinson & Walker, While negotiations were under way the author developed un attack of asthma, which was always at its most distressing stage whenever the publishers were present. He was only fifty-seven then, but the publishers de- cided that their chances were good and agreed to pay him a annuity of £250 instead of a lump sum for his work. Soon after the bond was signed the doctor went to Cornwall, where be re- covered his health, and returned to London without any cough, which was far from being a pleasing sight to the persons who hid to pay his annuity. One day he called upon Mr. Walker, the manager for the parties, who, sur- veying him with a scrutinizing eye, asked him how he did. “Much better, thank you,” sald Wolcott, “I have taken the measure of my asthma; the fellow is troublesome, but I know his strength and am his master.” “Oh!” said Mr. Walker gravely, and turned into an adjoining room, where Mrs. Walker, a prudent woman, had been listening to the conversation. Wolcott, aware of the fecling, pald a keen at- tention to the husband and wife and heard-the latter exclaim: “There, now, didn’t I tell you he wouldn't die? Foo! that you're been! I knew he wouldn't die” « Peter Pindar survived both the part ners.—New Yerk Post... > The Artist Always Took His Revenges In a Refined Way. In “Whistler as I Knew Him” Mor- “timer Menpes, the author, has a good deal to siy about Whistler the ‘fight: er and his quickness in resenting an affront. He is careful to add that Whistler was always refined In his methods: ‘i ‘While he was severe he was not ac tually brutal. He never treated his enemies in a coarse way. Any man who had offended him Whistler would rap sharply over the shoulders with his cane, and then by the time the sufferer had recovered the mastet would be in the next room explaining to every one how he had just felled his enemy. a Once be caught a man with whor be was for the moment enraged wash ing his face.

Wheu I first met Whistler he was i the act of senrching for a man wh had dared to criticise his Venetiar etchings. “If you want to see som | ton, Menpes.” be sald, “come wit! me.” Fortunately the man had beet warned and was nowhere to be found - A HUNGRY PYTHON. What Happened to Him When He Made a Raid on the Poultry Pen. }_ In my travels I visited the jail at Thayet-Myo, in Burma. On the morn- Ing of my visit there had undoubtedly } been an unusual occurrence. A python twenty-two feet long aud twenty-eight inches tn girth had entered the yege- table garden and crossed it to the fowl pen. Besides the fowls, there were ‘some five ducks in the pen. Now, the front of the pen was fenced with dia- mond mesh galvanized wire netting of a strong type. The snake could not resist a fat duck, so, putting Its head and neck through the stout diamond frame, it seized and swallowed one. I have no doubt whatever that it would have “mopped up the bunch” Inside the house, but that in adjusting No. 1 to make room for No. 2 it became aware of an ueasy feeling owing to the wire around its wuist. Neither have I any doubt that in addition to becoming uneasy ft became seriously alarmed. - Being now unable either to disgorge or to get away, it tore off the whole section of netting, 6 feet by 8, and re- turned with tha necklace or waist- band through the cabbages. Not un- naturally, 1 think, the sentry, scelng a 6 by S foot wire section of fencing marching throush the cabbage pateb without :ny visible means of support, gave the, alarm and then opened, tire. The prison guard rushed out and also opened fire, aud very shortly out hero Ia} dead in his frame, He was skinned and his stcin’ cured and dress: ed in the jail, where they are noted for this kind of work.—Forest and Stream. A COMPETENT WITNESS. The Mule’s Testimony Was Taken and Accepted by the Judge. The originator of a widely kuown probation system, Judge Witiam J, Pollard of 2 St.,Louls police court, is the subject of a Boston Herald story which illustrates his unique way of dealings out justice to minor offenders. A driver had been brought before Judge Pollard, churged with cruelty to animals. He had been driving a galled mule, but he had an expert witness in a veterinarian who testitied that the sore on the iule’s back did not pain thé animal in the least. | Phe judge listened attehtively to the long technical opinions and ‘then de- manded to know the mule's where abouts. He was informed that it was harnessed to a wagon whith stood on the street in front of the courthouse The judge then ordered that court to be udjourned for five minutes. He took his cany and proceeded to the street, went up to the mule and )with the end of his cane gently touch ed the sore spot on'the animal's back. ‘The mule promptly’ tried to kick the dashboard off the wagon. Once agalt the judge touched the sore spot with his cane, and the mule responded a: before. Judge Pollard returned to the bench. The prisoner was called before him, “With nll due respect to the expert testimony you have had Introduced ft your bebalf to show that the mule’s back does not pain him, 1 will fine you .$50," announced the judge. “4 asked the mule {f the sore hurt bim and he said it did.” Punctuality In London. ‘There is plenty of rush and hurry tn business London, just as in America, but the English ways seem to be much more systematic and disnitied.
