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 NO12 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY AUGUST 24, 1912 SHERMAN NOTIFIED T. R.S RED BANDANA FLAG OF ANARCHY! SHOUTS SHERMAN. Vice-President, Accepting Renomination, Sails Into Roosevelt and Defends Taft—Hits at Wilson, Too—Shows Signs of Recent Sickness, But Gives Talk Against "Our Two Opponents." UTICA, N. Y., Aug. 21.—Although the day was cloudy and cool, Utica got an early start after a carnival night, and devoted itself to-day to the notification of James S. Sherman of his nomination to the Vice Presidency by the Republican party. The early trains and trolleys brought large numbers of people to the city for the event has been prepared with an idea of making it a holiday for the central and northern parts of the State. About twenty members of the Committee on Notification were present, headed by United States Senator George Sutherland, of Utah, the chairman. They were escorted to the Sherman residence on Genesee street by citizens, massed in different organizations and headed by hands and military companies. The parade was an imposing one, moving through streets gaily decorated and lined with chrome of people. At the Sherman residence, Mr. Sherman met the committee and was later escorted to Roscoe Conkling Park, where a large stand had been erected and where the speaking took place. Mr. Sherman has been ill for some weeks, but has been steadily improving for the last fortnight. He did not look in his usual rosy condition, but was quite fit for the demands of the day. Senator Sutherland delivered the speech, notifying Vice President Sherman of his nomination, and Mr. Sherman responded in part as follows: "Gentlemen of the committee, this community appreciates the honor of this visit by your distinguished membership. You bear the commission of the convention which, representing them, met in Chicago in June. That convention declared anew our fidelity to the historic Republican party, our purpose to carry forward the work it has so well done, and to promote further the prosperity and progress of the United States." Oblivion Awaits Roosevelt's New Party. "The annals of American parties do not record the proceedings of a political gathering conducted with more openness, fairness, deliberation, sobriety and worthy purpose than that for which you speak. This assemblage will gladly concede the fact that other procedure were impossible in a body presided over by Oneida's native son, Elihu Root. "Not deceived by the clamor of those who attempted to bolster up claims without basis, by hundreds of contests resting on a foundation so flimsy that in the light of investigation, most of them melted away like snow in a furnace heat and were rejected by quite or nearly a unanimous vote, the convention adopted a platform that rings true for patriotism and' constitutional government and worthily bestowed a renomination upon our present Chief Executive. "Fortunate are we. Republicans, in the fact that our opponents are divided into two camps, rivalling each other in their efforts to excel in disturbing the civic and economic order of the country. The new party thrusts itself forward into the vacuum left by the phantoms of other third parties which have passed into oblivion. Oblivion, too, awaits it. "The Democratic party in the nation has many times defeated its Republican rival in August; but twice has it done so in November. "The Democratic rallying cry has always been a 'tariff for revenue only' and the bitterest assault on the policy of protection to American industry. This year sees no innovation. The Democratic candidate, Dr. Wilson, is Bryan and Parker over again without the oratory of the one or the legal training of the other, but with the free-trade prejudice of both seemingly intensified. It is not unkind to discern that Dr. Wilson is a pedagogue, not a statesman and his mode of thought academic rather than practical. "For the first time in the memory of my oldest hearer, the country witnessed a convention held in Chicago two weeks since, in which there was no roll call of delegates, no ballots cast; where red bandannas were preferred to the stars and stripes, where the scene was scarlet overmuch, like the flag of anarchy, not red, white and blue, the symbol of patriotism." National Chairman Hillis, Secretary Haywood, Chapin Brown, Charles Linkins, and Editor W. Calvin Chase arrived this A. M. at 3:30. Good Financing The Florida Avenue Baptist Church, organized not over one month ago, being a "split" from the Fifth Baptist Church in Vermont Avenue, held its first "rally" last Sunday morning.. Over $1,000 was on the "offering table." The handsome church edifice, located on Florida avenue, between 6th and 7th Streets Northwest, was recently purchased from a white congregation of the Presbyterian communion. The Bee is the people's paper. Why don't you have it sent to your home? REV. NORMAN. His Third and Last Sermon on the General Judgment Day. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the lake of fire."—Rev. 20:12-15. Notwithstanding the engagements of our busy life, and the various and attractive amusements of society, a hopeful sign is that multitudes can find time to give serious thought to the final things In our most sober moments we think of the realties of the unseen world, and, if we be controlled, by wisdom and especially by the teachings of the Scriptures, we shall be prepared by His grace, to enjoy the blessedness of the eternal world. And it is gratifying to note that thousands and thousands of men and women give evidence of their belief in hell and heaven, and are justly and wisely fleeing from the wrath of God and thus making sure of the joys of heaven. Yet there are many who do not consider the end—even the end of their earthly existence—and like Belshazzar and the thousands of his lords, some of them will at the final time, be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Last Sunday, I stated that the intermediate state means the time between the death of the body and the general resurrection of the dead. We are, I think, all agreed on the doctrine of the resurrection; if not as to the time of the resurrection of the righteous and of the wicked, that is whether they shall all arise at the same time. Some time ago, I gave my view to the effect that both saints and sinners will simultaneously appear before the bar of God for final sentence—and that is my contention today. That somewhere and at some time, only God knows when and where, all nations shall be assembled at the judgment bar to give an account for the deeds which were done in the body. 1. Let us notice, then, the fact of the judgment day. Inidels do not believe in such a thing. They contend that death here and now ends all, and that this world, having been in existence always will remain for all times. A few of our people, however, believe this. Our race has produced a very few of such false teachers. In our heart of hearts, we believe in the final things. We accept the teachings of our mothers rather than the theories of our infidel fathers. There is no fact more clearly stated in the Bible than the fact of the judgment. Jesus says: "When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory; and before him shall be gathered all nations." Matt. 25:31. Saints and sinners—"Sheep and goats." Paul says: "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandest all men everywhere to repent. Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained." Here the Apostle urges the people at Athens to prepare for the judgment. It is a wise thing to do. All that second trial business is false—now is the day of grace. Paul says. 2 Cor. 5:10: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." Solomon says: "For God shall bring every work into judgment; with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." So, then, it is a fact that there will be a judgment. (2.) Man's conscience agrees with the Bible on this point. Man somewhat dreads retribution for even "natural religion leads us to expect future retribution; and of course some sort of judgment, by which retribution will be awarded." "Even the heathen mythology had its judges, Eacus, Minos and Rhad Amanthus, by whom the dead had their place and condition assigned to them in the other world." Criminals have more or less dreaded the judge—this fear the guilty can not escape—(that New York crime which now occupies the stage of criminality is the result of fear of retribution—the victim having threatened to expose his associates.) II. Notice in the second place some reasons for the final judgment—of course—we may not be able to find out all the reasons for the acts of God in regard to the appointment of a day of judgment; but we shall state some of the reasons: (1) Persons often desire to know the necessity of the day—when each person is judged at death. (a.) The judgment following the death considers only the soul. We must also be judged in the body. "According to the deeds done in the body." Then, too, the body is to share in the final retribution—either the soul and body will be lost or saved. Paul says: "Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to-wit, the redemption of our body." Rom. 8:23. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY AUGUST 24, 1912 1. after having been "fashioned like unto his glorious body." (b.) It will publicly vindicate the justice as well as the mercy of God—as seen in the manifestation of character. All deeds brought to light. We shall see the wisdom and justice of God in dealing with man. All shall acknowledge his righteous character—every man will be given a fair deal—unlike earthly tribune—may suffer wrongs here—they will get absolute justice there. Then the wicked will see justice of their being turned into hell; "the white throne, reflecting perhaps, every man's character, every black character, wicked deeds unknown by your best friends will stare you in the face. The man who afterwards became a preacher, was converted in Whitfield's time by a vision of the judgment, in which he saw all men gathered before the throne—each one opening his heart and comparing it with God's books of the law. If it agreed he passed, on on the left. No one the judge silent; see self condemnation.) appear today before alone, miserable. To accept Christ sliders, lukewarm for ocrites to get ready. "That awful day we The appointed I When I must stand And pass the sole. It will publicly hold of course the judge this world, where J will be exalted—J the Father judgegeth committed all judge That all men should even as they honor J 5:22-23 Saints an honor him—those w The Department of State, under the present administration, has failed utterly to give any recognition or due consideration to the rate as far as the Consular Service is concerned, and Mr. Tyler's recent reference to the President's having "retained the eight colored men in this service should not be accepted with any credit to the State Department. While the appointments made to the Consular Service are virtually the result of Presidential selection, the retention of all appointees is guaranteed, during efficient service, by the general principles of the Civil Service Act of January 16, 1883, originally embraced in the executive orders of ex-President Roosevelt and renewed by the executive orders of President Taft. The only plausible construction to be placed upon the claim that the President has retained the eight colored men in the Consular Service, is to understand that the present Department of State has kept or "retained" these men just where the Taft administration found them in 1909; and no colored man has, since then, been able to enter the service, even after having qualified for it. Of the eight colored consuls now in the service, five were originally appointed by Colonel Roosevelt, and three by Mr. McKinley, and the two promotions and five transfers affecting these men since entering the service, were all made during Colonel Roosevelt's administration, as follows: CARTER, JAMES G.—Appointed Consul at Sivas, September 6, 1906; Consul at Tamaatave, November 1, 1906. It will be seen, from the foregoing, that but two colored consuls have reached the $3,000 grade. And it will be noted that all the colored consuls, save one, are "retained" down in the tropics, where they were first sent. Every now and then there are promotions and transfers of white consuls, but State Department consideration, intentionally, or unintentionally, overlooks transferring, much less promoting, these faithful colored public servants from the tropics, where they have served continuously since appointment. And the color line, which the State Department, in effect, draws, is not drawn in any of the foreign countries. Why not give some little consideration to colored consuls? Why keep them forever in the tropics? Why make $3,000 a dead line for them? Now, that's the present Department of State's record, as compared with that of former administrations, and it is not cited with a view to combatting the present administration politically; but it might be that if this little apparently "foreign" matter be brought to the attention of Mr. Taft the next White House conference will not be too monotonous. THE EDITOR. agreed he passed, on the right; if not, on the left. No one word spoken; the judge silent; self revelation and self condemnation.) How would you appear today before the throne—alone, miserable. Appeal to sinners to accept Christ today—urge backsliders, lukewarm followers and hypocrites to get ready. "That awful day will surely come, "The appointed hour makes haste, When I must stand before my Judge, And pass the solemn test." It will publicly honor Jesus Christ—of course the judgment will occur in this world, where Jesus suffered. He will be exalted—Jesus says: "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father." John 5:22-23 Saints and sinners must honor him—those who crucified him— Pilate, Judas, the Jews, Gentile Kings. "Whereupon God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name—that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God our Father.—Phil. 2:0-11. The God-man is fitted for man's judge—combination of mercy and justice. The interests of the government and subjects wisely and rightly protected. (The soldier brother pleading for a brother in court—wins. This onearmed soldier brother becomes a judge and finally sentences him to prison.) His sentence final, no recall. III. Notice the actual translations of the general judgment. (I.)

Three worlds send their inhabitants before the bar— When earth and heaven, before his face. Astonished, shrinks away? Great numbers—None can escape—"His all-discovering eyes"—Friend, how will you appear? Have you aught against your brother? Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior? Ohl ye false pretenders! you can not deceive the judge—all-wise judge. "O, on that day, that wrathful day, when man to judgment wakes from day." (2.) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God—judged out of the "book of life." No mistakes made. (3.) Righteous on the right hand—the wicked on the left. A separation; the righteous inherit the kingdom; the wicked assigned to the place of torment in the book of life—was cast into the lake of fire. Our names written in the book of life—we shall follow the Lamb into the twelve-gated city—a city which has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God will light it and the Lamb is the light thereof. A city perfect in society—endless in duration, the gates of which shall not be shut at all by day; for there shall be no night there. "There we shall see His face—meet our loved ones—converse with ancient saints and sing redemption songs. Negro Vote Presents Problem. No more interesting problem is now confronting the political managers of the Democratic, Republican and bull moose parties than the attitude the Negro voter is to take on election day, November 5. The Democratic party has never essayed to affiliate with the Negroes in the North any more than it has in the South. Richard Croker as leader of Tammany Hall, was probably more friendly to the Negro voter of New York city than any Democratic chieftain in the party. The Republicans in all of the States have been quite generous in the patronage line with the Negro. The Roosevelt party has practically ignored them. In view of this situation it will be interesting to give the Negro vote in important States which will have a bearing on the result of the Presidential election as follows: State. Vote. Massachusetts 20,000 Rhode Island 3,500 Connecticut 6,000 New York 50,000 New Jersey 30,000 Pennsylvania 70,000 Delaware 10,000 Maryland 65,000 West Virginia 24,000 Kentucky 75,000 Missouri 50,000 Ohio 45,000 Indiana 25,000 Illinois 50,000 Michigan 7,000 Iowa 7,000 Kansas 20,000 Nebraska 4,000 Oklahoma 40,000 Colorado 5,000 California 10,000 Washington 3,500 These States have a total electoral vote of 327. The Negroes in many of them hold the balance of power. CHANGED OPINIONS. Distinguished North Carolinians in the City—Taft Sentiment in the Pine-Tree State. Dr. Charles H. Shepard and Mr. C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, N. C., arrived in this city last Saturday morning en route for Cape May, N. J. They were given a drive around the Speedway, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where they had a guide to escort them to the several departments, and concluded by being introduced to Director Rolph. They were highly pleased to see so many colored young girls and women employed in all branches of the Bureau, and treated like all other employees, regardless of color. In speaking of the change of sentiment in the State, they said that the sentiment among the colored voters in North Carolina was now in favor of Mr. Taft, and if the colored people in this country could visit the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, they would never want Wilson to be elected, but would do all in their power to re-elect President Taft. They left on the 4 o'clock train Monday afternoon for Cape May. After visiting the law office of Attorney A. W. Scott, who is from the State of Dr. Shepard and Mr. Spaulding. Miss Mary Dunlop Maclean, the managing editor of "The Crisis," died last month. Miss Maclean did much toward the uplift of the American Negro, and was loved by all who knew her. Rufus L. Perry, a colored lawyer of Brooklyn, N. Y., has embraced the Jewish faith. The ceremony took place at the home of S. Scheiner, in the presence of several Jewish friends. The first university in the South, organized for the education of the Negro, was Walden University, in Tennessee. Dr. R. C. Ranson, editor of the A. M. E. Review, and former pastor of Bethel A. ,M. E. Church, of New York, who was an enthusiastic admirer of Col. Roosevelt, has deserted the fold, on account of his policy toward the Negro. Dr. Ransom will deliver an address next Sunday on "Theodore Roosevelt and the Negro's Political Dilemma." Will history repeat itself? The Negro held the balance of power at Chicago, and now he will hold the balance of power in several States, which will re-elect President Taft. The new president at Howard University is giving satisfaction. It is quite evident that he will do his duty. Mr. Charles Chappelle is the head of a project, and has interested several colored men in New York and Pittsburg, to form a business alliance between American Negroes and the natives of the Gold Coast, West Africa, to deal in Gold, mahogany, cocoa and rubber. No company is to be formed, just each person putting in a certain amount to help to develop the Gold Coast. There has been a law passed in the Province of Ontario, Canada, requiring the attendance of boys and girls up to 18 years of age at day or evening classes at school. Helen Gould had 600 colored persons as her guests in Tarrytown, Pa., on her playgrounds there. For the second time since the civil war, a white man was condemned to be hanged in Montgomery, Ala. It is reported Dr. Edwin Bradford Cragin, who attended Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, is receiving $1,000 per day. It is expected he will remain a member of the household until September. It is said his fees will total between $40,000 and $45,000. Another bubonic plague has been discovered in Porto Rico. Assistant Surgeon R. H. Creel is in charge of it. U. G. Denman will not lose his job. He is loyal to the administration. President Taft wants the entire Negro vote. He is grateful to every colored American who voted for him at Chicago. Tenth Street Baptist Church in Excellent Condition. Under the leadership of Rev. J. A. Brown, B D., the Tenth Street Baptist Church is doing wonderfully well. It has taken on new life, and is rapidly growing in every department. On the 15th day of August, the church, through its trustees, made its first payment on, and began to purchase from Mr. L. Cabell Williamson, the property in which it worships. We thank our many friends for their attendance and help in general. REV. J. A. BROWN, B. D. HYTER MYERS, Chairman of Trustee Board. WHY GOV. MANN REFUSED. Seventeen-Year.Old Colored Girl Electrocuted. Commonwealth of Virginia. Governor's Office. Richmond, August 6th, 1912. Mr. Stewart M. Lewis, Providence, Rhode Island. I have your letter of the 4th, and do not think you understand the Virginia Christian case. Certainly, if I do, you do not. According to the officers of the penitentiary and the surgeon, the girl is nineteen or twenty, and there is evidence presented to me in the case showing premeditation, which was not before the court because the Commonwealth did not deem it necessary to produce it. Of course, I feel the responsibility of a human life, and will ask for guidance and direction from a higher power, and trust my conclusion is just and right; certainly, I think so. Very truly yours, WM. HODGES MANN, Governor. BOWMAN CLINGS TO HIS SEAT Obtains Postponement of Contest Hearing. BETS A SEVERE SCORING Trial of Congressman Accused of Corruption Is Delayed Until December. After undergoing a severe lambasting at the hands of Representative Ansberry, of Ohio, chairman of the selections committee No. 1, Representative C. C. Bowman, of the Eleventh Pennsylvania district, succeeded in getting the house to postpone consideration of the contest for his seat brought against him by George R. McLean, who was Bowman's Democratic opponent in the congressional election of 1910. It was the arrangement to take up the Bowman-McLean contest in the house, the majority of elections committee No. 1 having reported that Bowman's title was bemirched by corruption and intimidation, and that his seat should be declared vacant. But the Democratic leaders discovered that Bowman had induced the Republicans to organize a filibuster against the passage of the redrafted legislative appropriation bill in order to prevent action on the contested election case. To avoid the threatened delay in passing the appropriation bill the Democrats had agreed to put the election case over to the December session, provided the contestee himself would ask for postponement. When the election case was called up Bowman made request for delay, but unfortunately for him, in stating his reasons, he included the alleged illness of Chairman Ansberry of the committee as one of them. Mr. Ansberry didn't like this, and taking the floor he declared he was ready and anxious to go with the case, no matter how many days it might take to dispose of it. He went on to say that he was willing, however, that the case should be postponed if Bowman was willing to rest for months under the grave charges made against him in the report of the committee and seek re-election to congress under such conditions. Then Mr. Ansberry proceeded to read from the testimony tending to show that Bowman and his agents had been guilty of intimidating voters and of conniving at the illegal voting of unnaturalized aliens. If Bowman was willing to rest under these charges until next December and go through a campaign with them hanging over him, Mr. Ansberry said he would not object to the postponement. Finally it was agreed that the case should go over until next session. By this arrangement Bowman will remain on the payroll for three or four months longer, which no doubt had a good deal to do with his anxiety for postponement. DARROW FREED; TO BE RETRIED Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago, lawyer, found not guilty on the charge of having bribed a prospective juror in the McNamara case in Los Angeles, must stand trial on a second indictment, according to an announcement made by District Attorney Fredericks immediately after the acquittal. Darrow was apparently unconcerned over the statement of the prosecutor. He was deluged with telegrams from all parts of the country, which began pouring in within an hour after the verdict had been given. The court room scene which followed the reading of the verdict, just thirty-four minutes after the jury had retired, was one that had no parallel in Los Angeles. Jurors embraced the acquitted man, and, with tears streaming down their cheeks, declared it was the happiest day of their lives. Court officials, including Judge Hutton and the half dozen balliffs, joined in the congratulations, and Mrs. Darrow, to whom the trial was a continuous nervous strain, stood speechlessly happy, with one hand in her husband's and the other wringing those of the jurors. Bees Clog Motor; Man Badly Stung. L. N. Dunn, superintendent of a cartridge company, at Kings Mills, O., lies unconscious and in a critical condition as a result of attack by a swarm of bees. Dunn attempted to start a motor which had balked and found that a swarm of bees had clogged it. Before workmen could rescue him from the infuriated bees, he was unconscious. Physicians say he cannot recover. President Fay to Resign. Thornwell Fay, president of the Southern Pacific lines in Louisiana and Texas, announced that he would resign permanently from railroad service on Sept. 1. New Treasurer of Democratic National Committee. J. 1912, by American Press Association. Ex-Mayor Wells of St. Louis, named by Governor Woodrow Wilson as treasurer, is now in New York getting things in motion for popular subscriptions to Wilson's campaign. He especially favors small contributions from the people. WATCHES THIEF STEAL JEWELS Banker's Wife Robbed of Gems Worth $12,000. While Mrs. Klem, mute with terror, looked on, a masked burglar robbed the summer home of Walter E. Klem, the Philadelphia banker, at 17 South Providence avenue, in the fashionable Chelsea section of Atlantic City, obtaining jewelry worth more than $12,000. Awakened by no sound made by the "pussy footed" thief, but rather by a premonition of danger, Mrs. Klem saw the burglar rifling her jewel case. By her side was her husband asleep. Fearing that if she woke him up or made an outcry, the burglar might murder them both, Mrs. Klem pretended to sleep, but through half-closed eyelids watched the man in the mask make the biggest haul in a series of cottage robberies which have terrorized the resort all summer. Mrs. Klem had ample opportunity to see the burglar, and as soon as he left the house she awakened her husband, who jumped for the telephone to notify the police. The burglar had cut the wires. Hastening into his clothes. Mr. Klem ran to a neighbor's house and called up the Atlantic City police. Every available policeman in the city was rushed to the scene, and beat up every nook and corner in the vicinity, but the burglar had made a clean get-a-way. HAS MECHANICAL SPANKER Fined After Quarrel Over How Son Shall Be Punished. Because his wife objected to his using a mechanical device, invented by him at the University of Illinois, for punishing their child, Professor Duff Andrew Abrams, of Campalgu Ill., beat her, and she had him arrested. He pleaded guilty, waiving a jury and paid a fine of $12.50. Abrams is associate professor in the engineering experiment station in applied and theoretical mechanics. He applied his theoretical mechanics to the erection of a spanking machine for the chastisement of children without the usual manual labor. When he tried to demonstrate the practicability of the device on his little son the mother objected. A quarrel ensued Neighbors interfered, saving the child from a spanking and allowing the mother to escape. The device that caused the trouble weighs about twenty pounds, is constructed of aluminium and bamboo, and the "spankers" are padded so as to punish but not injure the patient. "The patient" is bent over a rod, and a wheel, operated against cogs, connects a crank run by a belt device. The "spanker" makes about thirty-five spanks a minute. GENERAL BOOTH BETTER Head of Salvation Army Shows Slight Improvement. General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, who is seriously ill in London, passed a more comfort able night than usual, and his physician issued a statement saying that the aged patient's general condition showed slight improvement. This news was flashed to thousands of inquirers in many cities. While General Booth's heart action has been slightly impaired, he lapsed into periods of unconsciousness which caused much alarm. Wounds Cop, Kills Wife, Ends Life. Resisting arrest, Joseph Spitzer, twenty-five years old, of Paducah, Ky., killed his young wife, and then committed suicide at his home bear Paducah. TO DISSOLVE MOVIE TRUST Government Attacks Film Combine as Being Monopoly. UNDUE CONTROL IS ALLEGED United States District Court in Philadelphia Will Hear Suit to Dissolve the So-Called $100,000,000 Moving Picture Trust. The federal government opened war upon the "moving picture trust" by filing a suit in equity for its dissolution in the United States district court in Philadelphia. Ten prominent moving picture film concerns are accused of combining to monopolize the business, even to the extent of increasing or decreasing the number of motion picture theatres in which they have no proprietary interest. The following corporations and individuals, who are officers or directors, are named as defendants: Motion Picture Patents company, General Film company, Biograph company, Thomas A. Edison, Inc.; Essanay Film Manufacturing company, the Kalem company, Inc.; George Klehe, Lubin Manufacturing company, Melles Manufacturing company, Pathe Freres, the Selig Polyscope company, the Vltagraph company of America, Armat Moving Picture company, Frank L. Dyer, Henry N. Marvin, J. J. Kennedy, William Pelzer, Samuel Long, J. A. Berat, Slegmund Lubin, Gaston Melles, Albert E. Smith, George K. Speer and W. N. Sellig. The court is asked to restrain these persons and companies from exercising an undue monopoly of the moving picture business. Each of the defendants is alleged to have overstepped the bounds of the lawful monopoly granted by their patents, and the petition asks that several complicated interlocking license restrictions, tying patents together, be ordered cancelled. The government charges that unreasonable and oppressive restraints and conditions have been arbitrarily imposed on the manufacture and leasing of films and machines, depriving the public of the advantages of competition, especially the competition of foreign films, the importation of which is alleged to be restricted. Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assistant to the attorney general, who has charge of the pending ant-trust suit against the International Harvester company, made an exhaustive investigation of the moving picture business, drawing up the petition, which was filed by John C. Swartley, United States attorney. The bill is also signed by Attorney General Wickersham and James A. Fowler, his assistant. The government's petition says that between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 feet of pictures are printed each week by manufacturers and distributed to thousands of exhibitors all over the United States. The government declares that a sum greatly in excess of $100,000,000 has been invested in the different branches of the business. The defendants control, it is added, from 70 to 80 per cent. of the film business, furnishing approximately 7000 exhibitors. The Motion Picture Patents company, organized in New Jersey in September, 1908 is the holding company of all the motion picture patents of the defendants. Other than collecting and distributing royalties among the defendants, the bill says the Patents company's only business is the bringing of lawsuits under the patents it holds. Hundreds of suits have been brought, it is alleged, "to harrass and oppress all persons engaged in the motion picture business who have not obeyed its mandates." PENSIONS TO BE PAID The President Signs Appropriation Bill For $160,000,000. President Taft's first official act was to sign the $160,000,000 pension appropriation bill. The pension office was immediately notified, and telegraph orders were sent to the eighteen outlying agencies to start payment at once of the money so long held up by the delay in congress. Every pensioner in the United States will be paid by Tuesday at the latest. Paymaster General Smith, of the army, authorized payment to enlistmen of the regular army for the month of July, leaving the June pay to be paid later on. The officers have already received their pay for June. The pay of the regulars has been held up in the general deficiency bill.

The tragedy occurred in the home of Mrs. Smith, which adjoins that of Mrs. Echols. Mrs. Echols suspected her husband of being intimate with Mrs. Smith. She watched her husband and saw him enter Mrs. Smith's home. There the jealous wife followed with a shotgun and found her husband, with Mrs. Smith in his lap kissing and hugging him. Mrs. Echols at once discharged both barrels of the shotgun into Mrs. Smith, and she died in the arms of Echols. When arrested Mrs. Echols said: "She ruined my home! I had to kill her." Public sympathy is with Mrs. Echols who will soon become a mother. U. S. May Ald "Kid" M'Coy. It is thought in some quarters in London the United States government may intervene in the case of "Kid" McCoy, whose real name is Norman Selby, the American boxer, who was arrested on July 26 on a provision extradition warrant on a charge of larceny, alleged to have been committed at Ostend, and later released on ball. When McCoy was again brought up at Bow street police court, the magistrate remanded him for another week at the request of the Belgian authorities. William Phillips, secretary of the United States embassy, is making an inquiry on behalf of the embassy. Detectives who have been working on the case declare openly that they have no evidence against McCoy. * Uncovers a Dinichthys. Remalns of an ancient sea fish, the dinlchthys, have been found in Eighteen Mile creek, Chautauqua county, N. Y., by W. C. Bryant, of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. The fish resembles the shark and lived centuries ago. The rock in which the remalns were embedded shows that it was of the sand bar formation, which existed in the ages when that region was part of the sea bottom. Saves Drowning Child. Gracie Worthington, seven and one-half years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Worthington, residents of Philadelphia, came near losing her life in Naaman's creek at Arden, Del She was bathing with water wings, which slipped from beneath her arms, and while trying to free herself she got into deep water. She was brought out by Alonzo Bronstein. Mother Weighs 90; Baby 18. "Mother and baby are doing fine," was the information given out from the home of Mrs. Antone Crosso, wife of a section hand at Grand Junction, Col., who gave birth to a boy whose weight was just one-fifth of that of the mother Mrs. Crosso weighs ninety pounds, while the child weighs eleighteen pounds. Soaks Self In Kerosene: Dies. Crazed by excessive and constant smoking, Victoria Rutz, a Cuban woman, living in Tampa, Fla., poured a gallon of kerosene over her clothing and lighted a match to it. She was burned to death, and did not complain once during her horrible suffering. Neighbors witnessed the act. Navy Steward Drowned. Edward Kennerly, wardroom steward on the United States steamship Hopkins, was drowned in Napa creek Cal., according to a telegram received at the navy department. Colonel Meek Dies of Injuries. Colonel C. F. Meek died at his home at Marble, Colo., from injuries received Saturday when a trolley car on which he was riding was derailed. He was seventy years old, Outlines Ideas at Notification at Sea Girt. FAVORS CUTS IN TARIFF Says High Cost of Living is Arranged by Private Understanding and Rapa Big Business. Informally accepting the Democratic nomination for the presidency, of which he was officially notified by a committee including many governors and other leaders of his party at Sea Girt, N. J., Governor Woodrow Wilson discussed the principal issues of the campaign and gave his views as to the measures necessary in his opinion to met the problems which confront his party. The address had been awaited with considerable interest as affording him an opportunity, as the standard bearer of the Democracy, to tell where he stood on the leading political questions of the day, and the crowd that assembled at the "Little White House," as it is called by the governor's admirers, listened intently to catch the import of his words. From the broad veranda of the white-coated house the nominee delivered his speech. Grouped beneath wide-spreading willows and elms were the more prominent guests, hedged in by clumps of ferns and bushes. The governor read from his manuscript. The platform, he said, was not a program, but a practical document intended to show "that we know what the nation is thinking about and what it is most concerned about." The people, he added, were about to be asked not particularly to adopt a platform, but to entrust the Democratic party with "office and power and the guidance of their affairs" and their desire now was to know, what translation of action and policy, he intends to give to the general terms of the platform, should he be elected." An immediate downward revision of the tariff, amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law, and more adequate legislation, both civil and criminal, looking to the control of monopolies; legislation to prevent the interlocking of directorates of big corporations that tends to place the finances of the country under the control of a few men; legislation that will safeguard the lives and improve the physical and moral conditions of the working people; a close inspection of the political life of the people of the Philippines; the adaptation of banking and currency laws to the varied uses to which our people must put them; conservation of natural resources; development of merchant marine and waterways; presidential primaries and the direct election of United States senators, were some of the important recommendations which the governor advocated. Governor Wilson holds the present high tariff responsible for the high cost of living and the rapid growth of monopolies, and denounced the Payne-Aldrich tariff act "as the most conspicuous example ever afforded the country of the special favors and monopolistic advantages which the leaders of the Republican party have so often shown themselves willing to extend to those to whom they looked for campaign contributions." High wages yield us no great comfort. We used to be better off with less because a dollar could buy so much more. Prices climb faster than we can push our earnings up. The high cost of living is arranged by private understanding. He declared himself in favor of an immediate revision, and said: "It should be downward, unhesitatingly and steadily downward." In order not to disturb the business interests of the country he advocated proceeding with caution and prudence "like men who know what they are about and not like those in love with a theory." He declared that the trusts, instead of belonging to a period of infant industries, were the product of a very sophisticated age when men knew what they wanted and knew how to get it by the favor of the government. The present anti-trust law, he said, had apparently proved ineffectual, and while he did not hold anyone responsible, he declared that it will be necessary to supplement the present law with such laws, both civil and criminal, as will effectually punish and prevent the methods by which trusts have established monopolies, adding such other laws as may be necessary to provide suitable and adequate judicial processes, whether civil or criminal, to disclose them and follow them to a final verdict and judgment. A problem that he considers greater than the trusts is what he termed the "vast confederacies" of banks, railways, express companies, insurance companies, manufacturing corporations, mining corporations, power and development companies, bound together by the fact that the ownership of their stock and the members of their boards of directors are controlled and determined by comparatively small and closely inter-related groups of persons, who, by their informal confederacy, may control, if they please and when they will, both credit and enterprise. He hinted at the existence of a "money trust," and while he admitted such a thing might not exist, he advocated legislation to prevent it. HUSBAND DEAD: BRIDE IS HELD Doctor Says He Found Poison In Man's Stomach MARRIED ONLY FOUR DAYS Detectives Who Investigated the Case Say William Prost Had Made His $6000 Life Insurance Payable to His Bride. Accused of causing her husband's death by poison, Mrs. Prost Prost, forty years old, of 131 Germantown avonue, Philadelphia, married only four days, was arrested and locked up at City Hall. Edmund Guenhal, thirty-two years old, of 4816 North Mascher street, a bartender employed by Mrs. Prost, who conducts a saloon, also was ar rested as a material witness. Mrs. Prost was a widow when she married William Prost, forty-four years old, last Monday, her first husband having died eighteen months ago. Prost was a baker. A few days before their marriage he made a will, leaving his estate, valued at $6000, to the woman now under arrest. Prost died last Thursday. Mrs. Prost reported to the coroner's office, according to the charge, that his death was due to injuries, received in a trolley accident supposed to have taken place at Twenty-eighth and Jeterson streets. Dr. William S. Wadsworth, coroner's physician, was unable to find trace of he supposed injuries and hisisted upon performing an autopsy Mrs. Prost protested, it is declared, but the autopsy was performed. In the meantime, Coroner's Detective Frank Paul investigated the case. He says he could find no record of a trolley accident at Twenty-eighth and Jefferson streets on the date mentioned. Neither could he find any record of any one named Prost being injured at any place. At the autopsy Doctor Wadsworth reported he found poison in the man's stomach. To allay suspicion, so that an investigation could be conducted to better advantage, the coroner's office allowed the funeral to take place and Prost's body was interred in Green mount cemetery. The investigation was conducted quietly by Detective Paul, assisted by Detectives Emanuel and Belcher of the city hall staff. They say they found that on July 28 Prost made a will, leaving his entire estate and his life insurance to his bride. On Monday, Aug. 5, the marriage took place. Four days later Mrs. Prost reported her husband's death. Detectives Emanuel and Belchewent to Mrs. Prost's home Sunday night and placed her under arrest on a warrant charging her with homicide Both she and Guenhal, according to the detectives have made statements, but the police refuse to divulge them SICK MAN TURNING BLACK Change Seen Day By Day Goes With Loss of Weight. Afflicted by a mysterious malady which has baffled more than fifty St. Louis physicians called in consultation, S. A. Hendricks, a sixty-five-years-old farmer, of Van Buren, Mo., is turning black at the Mayfield sanitarium. Five months ago his skin was fair and ruddy. Now his complexion is several shades darker than that of a mulatto, and a rapid change to black is carrying him through successively darker shades. This change is so swift that it can be noted from day to day by the physicians, who are powerless to check it, or even to find a satisfactory explanation for the strange transformation. When Hendricks was taken to the sanitarium, July 25, he weighed 199 pounds. His present weight is 95 pounds. HUMAN CHAIN SAVES LIVES Bathers Help Life-Guards Rescue Imperiled Man and Woman. Frank Hall, of Philadelphia, while bathing at Tenth street, Ocean City, N. J., with Miss Inez Livingstone, was seized with cramps. They were outside the breakers and the heavy sea soon exhausted them. Hearing their cries, Milton Hagy went to their assistance and held them safely until Life-Guards Orr and Pollock reached them. There was a heavy undertow, and a number of bathers joined hands, formed a human chain and drew the man and girl ashore. Miss Livingstone falted when she was brought to the beach, but soon was revived and taken home. Jersey Girls Hunt Matea. New Jersey's biggest picnic was held at Manasquan, when vehicles of all kinds brought 10,000 merrymakers from inland sections to the sea. Conspicuous in the crowd were 1000 girls wearing white hair ribbons bearing the words in gold letters: "Looking for a husband." Frank Billig, a Quaker Valley farmer, is at Hazleton, Pa., hospital receiving treatment for blood poisoning. About four weeks ago his thumb was pierced by a rye straw. The Gamy Bluefish. The bluefish is one of the gamest fish that swim. Take him on light tackle, and you have done something to be proud of; take him on the recognized band line, and you have performed a feat that will give you a thrill of pleasure when memory takes you blue-fishing. He is a fighter from Bulldog vile and, being free from all restrictions, makes no distinction of class, but furnishes rich and poor alike with real enjoyment. For a time it is great sport to haul in bluefish at the end of a 300 foot line, but if the fish are large, weighing from ten to fifteen pounds, the recruit from the city is done after his struggle with three or four great fish. Hauling aboard a big bluefish is like pushing a freight car with the shoulder. If the fish run small the city angler will find his limit at or before he has landed fifty of them and will be glad to quit, with the sensation that every bone in his body has been smashed. For hours he can scarcely raise his arms, and the aches in a person will continue for several days—New York Sun. Diplomatic. An American official was once the guest of Li Hung Chang in China when there was a great demonstration in honor of the rain god. Nolses strident and fearful in the ears of the foreigners came from instruments and human throats. The keen old Chinese statesman, conscious of the effect that this was probably producing upon the American spectator, turned to him and said, "This seems strange and useless to you?" The American, striving to be polite without too great a sacrifice of truth, made an evasive answer. "You never pray for rain in your country?" pressed the Chinese statesman. "Oh, yes, we do." "And you always get it?" "No." "Just the same as in China," the old man remarked complacently. Mast Trees. In the provincial charter of 1691, under which the Plymouth colony and the province of Maine were united with Massachusetts, it was provided that all trees of the diameter of twenty-four inches and upward, twelve inches from the ground, growing upon land not heretofore granted to any private person, should be reserved to the crown for the furnishing of masts for the royal navy. A surveyor general of woods was appointed to see that this provision of the charter was carried into effect. Near the coast all white plines of suitable dimensions were marked with the "broad arrow"—three cuts through the bark with an ax, like the track of a crow. This was the king's mark Long after the Revolution had obliterated the royal authority men who had been taught in boyhood to respect the king's mark hesitated to cut such trees—Harper's Weekly. "Time Was Made For Slaves." Whistler's disregard for time was perfect. Here is an instance given by Mr. T. R. Way in his "Memories of James McNeill Whistler:" "At one of his Sunday morning breakfasts, which were so famous, a party of ladies and gentlemen had gathered in his studio with the arranged intention of making an excursion together. Whistler, how ever, had prepared in his own mind another entertainment and, posing one of the ladies, started a full length painting of her. After some time the other members of the party showed signs of restlessness and wanted to know when they were going to start on the expedition. Whistler expressed his displeasure, adding, 'By Jove, it's not before every one that I would paint a picture.'" An Ancient English Law. There was a time when most foreigners traveling to England had to visit a tailor on arriving in order to have their buttons changed. According to a law passed in the eighteenth century, any person in England wearing button-made of cloth, serge, drugget or frieze was liable to a fine. The foreigner wearing a coat with cloth button-made in his own country is not fined when first charged with this breach of the law. He must, however, hasten to obtain proper buttons, or he may be arrested on the following day.—London Standard. When Disraeli Forgot. Dlsraell was speaking in support of Lord Lytton's motion condemning the evacuation of Kandahar. "My lords," he said, "the key of India is not Merv or Herat or"—here came a long pause and rather painful anxiety in the audience and then the quiet-resumption of the thread. "It is not the place of which I cannot recall the name—the key of India is London."—"One Looks Back," by the Right Hon. G. W. E. Russell. She Knew. "Lola, dear," said her mother, "do you know the meaning of your Bible text, 'Love one another?'" "Why, of course I do, mamma," she replied.

Smith, of South Carolina, in an address at the Rally of the Women's National Democratic League (held Aug 15), took the breath of his auditors when he said that Jesus Christ was the founder of the Democratic party. The Senator should strike out Jesus Christ and insert His Satanic Majesty in place. This would sound more proper. The holy writ teaches us that Jesus died to save the world—the colored brother (included). The Old Boy, who presides over Hades, is the founder of the Democratic party, for several reasons, namely: 1st. His hatred of the colored American. 2d. The desire to maintain slavery in the United States. 3d. His unnecessary stirring race feelings in the United States. 4th. His disregard for the political rights of the Negro in the United States as laid down by the Constitution. 5th. His disregard of the lives of the colored brother in the South by putting him out of business by the rope, bullet, and fire. Everybody knows that the colored brother was brought here against his wishes and kept in slavery for over two hundred and fifty years, thereby enriching the white man. His great desire is to put the colored brother out of business. Even Roosevelt, had it not been for the colored troops (Spanish-American War) would not be in the position to aggravate the feeling between the races by his policy of the lily-white party, and that doing away of the Negro's right to vote. Everybody knows that the Negro of the United States has earned his right of citizenship by being in every war this country has had. He has the same right here as the white man has, and more especially the foreign element, who predominates in the United States. EX-COMMISSIONER WEST. It is to be regretted that colored men cannot be appointed on the police force. Ex-Commissioner L. L. West, while head of the police department issued an order that colored men on the force should succeed colored men. Since his retirement there have been at least five vacancies among colored officers and every one was succeeded by a white appointee. Dyson and Bailey died, Wearing and two others resigned: all of whom were succeeded by a white man. Now, it has come to pass that a colored officer made an arrest of a Georgia white boy, and because the arrest was made by a Negro officer, Hoke Smith, of Georgia, declared that the arrest was an outrage. The case against the white boy has not been tried, and the Negro officer is up on charges. A few changes in the police court would have a healthy effect on the execution of justice. BOLTERS. Bolters are persons who have been defeated in a proposition or an enterprise in which they were engaged but failed to succeed. It may be political or commercial. The present bolters, however, belong to political parties which they could not control, and left the party because they found themselves not as important as they thought they were. It is amusing to see some colored men after having been repudiated by their own party now declare for the Democratic party, that doesn't want them, but is passing "Jim Crow" and disfranchising laws against them. Whenever a Negro goes into the Democratic party he carries himself alone. We --- are a great people for putting things on paper and issuing so-called addresses to the country with no idea of carrying out any of their principles. We can do more resolving and resolving than any other nationality in this country and have no idea of adhering to anything. Let the bolters go and find their level. ROOSEVELT. Will those colored men who declared against Roosevelt four or five years ago on account of his treatment of the Brownsville soldiers, state why they have so suddenly changed towards Mr. Taft? Do those men remember the fight ex-Senator Foraker made for those discharged soldiers? What good has Mr. Roosevelt been to the Negro race? How can he explain his door of hope declaration? How can the Negro show his gratitude towards those who have been so faithful in defending him against his enemies? Has Mr. Roosevelt done one act that would commend him to the favorable consideration of the Negro? We desire to call the attention of our readers to the editorial from the New York Evening Post. No Negro with a grain of gratitude can consistently support the principles of the Democratic party. LEWIS IN DEMAND. From every section of the country come requests for Mr. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, to speak. His fame as a lawyer and an orator has spread over the country. And colored people are naturally anxious to see the man whom President Taft honored with the highest place ever given to the race. But the duties of Mr. Lewis' office are such that he finds impossible, however much he regrets it, to accept all the invitations extended to him. He is forced to limit acceptance only to a few. PROF. HOUSTON DECLINES. It is current that Prof. Houston, of M Street High School, who was tendered a professorship at Howard University after Prof. F. C. Williams had declined it with thanks, has also respectfully declined. Thus it will be seen that the action of the colored trustees on June 28, 1912, when they, in effect, drew a dead line for the ambitions of colored members of Howard's faculty, discouraged good talent, among colored educators, from accepting membership in the faculty of that institution. FAKERS. The National Republican Committee will not be bothered with fakers. We are to have men in this campaign who are able to do something and can command the respect and consideration of the people. The Bull Moose campaign committee, from the information The Bee is receiving, is that every old time 'aker, fatham politician that can open his mouth, will be employed at so much per. GEORGE F. T. COOK. If there ever was a man whose memory deserves to be perpetuated, it is the late Geo. F. T. Cook. If it is the wish of the old and patriotic citizens of this city, that the Board of Education name our normal school for Mr. Cook. The Geo. F. T. Cook Normal School will go down to ages as a fitting tribute to a worthy and honorable citizen. Where, are you going this summer? That is the question that is being constantly asked of those who have not yet took a leave. The Knights Templar and Shriners made a most creditable showing, and the compliments paid them were many. Although Dr. Wilder became a belated Bull Mooser, they would not satisfy his ambition to be National Committeeman for the District. The Doctor's fly in politics has been expensive and unsatisfactory, we think. It is rumored that R. R. Horner is out for Wilson. Out for him how? To talk or to vote? The latter is impossible for he, Mr. Horner, has no vote, and the former would be uninfluencing because of the latter "no vote." Now what can Mr. Horner and Judge Hewlett do for the cracker candidate for President? The Indianapolis Freeman, in its last issue, wants to know why The Bee is opposed to R. W. Thompson, the alleged "national correspondent." After asking the ques- tion, The Freeman proceeds to praise Mr. Thompson. R. W. Thompson is the least of The Bee's concern. He may look good to The Freeman for the reason that some things appear really better than they are from a distance than at close range. If The Freeman is delighted with Thompson it is welcomed to him. The Bee picks its own company. We only refer to this out of courtesy to our esteemed contemporary, The Freeman. Incidentally, we would like to advise Thompson that writing to New York won't get him anything from The Bee, for the reason that no one controls this newspaper but the owner and editor. R. W. Thompson, in his news items, says that the "Washington Bee's Sage of the Potomac is an unmitigated liar." The Bee would like to know if Thompson has any idea of the force of his remark. The Sage never lies, and if there is any doubt, read Thompson's news letters, and compare it with the utterances of the Sage. THE DESERTED NEGRO. (From the N. Y. Evening Post.) Mr. Roosevelt had his way in Chicago. Despite the protests of Jane Adams and many others, the party of "progress," which bases its hopes for success on its program for social justice, committed the injustice of throwing out the Negro delegates from the South, declaring for a "illy-white" policy there, and adopted its platform without a single reference of any kind to the colored man. The terrible injustice done him the country over; the denial of civic and political rights guaranteed to him; his practically complete disfranchisement in the South—all of these things were forgotten because the apostle of justice himself hopes, with what Jane Addams herself called "statesmanlike (2) policy," to break up the Solid South. So the Negroes, even those who worked for Roosevelt in the Taft Convention, were flung aside—just as he would fling aside any body or set of men when it served his purpose to do so. The Jews, themselves, to whom he has toadled and whom he has flattered by high appointments, he would discard as readily as he has Mr. Taft, Mr Root, and his other tried friends and Cabinet associates, should there be political profit to be gained by taking an anti-Semitic position. If there is any one group of men and women in this country suffering from oppression, it is the colored people; but the party of social justice is to think only of wrongs done to whites! Undoubtedly, Mr. Roosevelt is certain that before the campaign is far along he will win back the disaffected Negroes. He has beyond question achieved what seemed the impossible in regaining the affections of many disgruntled whites in the South after the Booker Washington luncheon, and of the Negroes after the Brownville episode. His friends will not hesitate to use money in his behalf and the Negro himself, slow to anger and easy-going, may recall those many handsome action of Roosevelt in the White House, and those manly and just letters on the Negro question, the hypocrisy of which he has now so clearly demon-trated. Perhaps, the Negro will be fooled again as he has been so many times before. Yet we cannot think this so likely this time, for there is increasing independence of thought among the educated colored people and a growing realization of their latent political power. As Mr. Andrew B. Humphrey pointed out the other day, 600,000 Negroes in twenty-two States may elect the next President. They would, if they could but stand together, if they had but the group-conservatism and solidarity so marked among others in our cosmopolitan population. It is unnecessary to say that if they had this political cohesiveness, Mr. Roosevelt would prefer their votes to those of the Southerners who, he hopes, will give him the electoral vote of North Carolina, or Georgia, or Alabama. But he knows that it is almost impossible to trace a single political outcome, even in Ohio, to the colored voters as a whole. He himself, as Republican President and also as a delegate to one Republican convention after the other since 1884, helped to fool the Negroes with solemn promises about the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which were cavalierly disregarded after the votes were in. Like his Republican associates, he has pulled the wool over their eyes so often as to feel certain of his ability to do it again, and the chances are in his favor. Yet year by year independence does grow among the colored voters. If many vote for Roosevelt this year, it will help to break that tie with the Republican party which has kept the bulk of the Negroes in thraldom to it. By so much more will the habit of independent voting be established; while those among them who have seen through Roosevelt at last, will thereby be rendered the less likely to worship false gods hereafter. That Mr. Roosevelt did not see fit to placate the race by one of those plattitudious expressions of sympathy that leave a grateful feeling with those whom it is tended to help, yet butter no parsnips is a genuine surprise. He seems to have lost some of his political skill. That the whole episode will embitter the unhappy lot of the Negroes of the country, let no one doubt. It is difficult for those who are enfranchised and socially free to realize how terrible the burden this race bears; how staggering the handicaps; and how helpless it is without the ballot to rectify its wrongs. Two recent happenings in the South are especially ominous. Our readers will recall how Mr. Roosevelt and the leading white men of the South have applauded Booker Washington's advice to the Negro to acquire property, to be industrious and law-abiding as the true way to racial and civile happiness. Well, in. Mooresville, N. C., a self-respecting colored carpenter bought real estate some years ago in a decent section of the city; when he began to build his own home on it this spring the City Council passed an ordinance for bidding it. In Greenville, N. C., two brothers were prevented by a segregation ordinance from purchasing a $05,000 piece of property they had contracted for. The representatives of the Anglo-Saxon culture who owned the property refused to return the $150 paid for the purchase-option on the ground that the brothers had broken their contract! In Georgia, last June, Anne Bostwick, a negress, who had been previously declared insane, killed the white woman who employed her. She was shot to death by a mob of white men, defenders of Anglo-Saxon superiority. It is, of course, impossible for the colored population to hold the officials responsible or to participate in the election of others who will uphold them in their constitutional rights as to the ownership of property or guarantee them the protection of the law when accused of crime. They are helpless and hopeless, for they are without remedy. And the Progressive party, according to its leader, says that, because there have been venal Negro delegates at Republican conventions in the past (by whose votes he has hitherto been only too glad to profit), this oppressed race shall have no representatives in the party of social justice! A distinguished Russian professor, recently visiting in this country, on learning that ten millions of people suffer all the hardships of both the Russian peasant and the Russian Jew, exclaimed: "Ifcavens, how can they stand it?" The answer is that they must not stand it. Mr. Roosevelt's falsity to them will be of genuine value if they but stimulates them to further efforts in their own behalf, and strengthens their growing determination to stand as a solid phalanx on behalf of their rights—life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness. HOSPITAL RETAINS NEGRO INTERNES. President of Health Board "Puts One Over" on Surgeon Staff—Has Papers Regarded—Outside Doctors Rank Negro Applicants as Winners at Old Institution. Kansas City, Mo., President W. P. Motley, of the hospital and health board, has ordered a neat move on the members of the medical and surgical visiting staff of the General Hospital, who recently graded examination papers-of five Negro graduates of medical colleges who took examinations for internships at the old General Hospital. The move was so neat that it already has been referred to as the "royal kibosh." At the last meeting of the hospital and health board a petition signed by fourteen of the eighteen members of the visiting staff recommended that the board displace the Negro internes at the old hospital by white ones. The principal reason given was that only five young graduates took the examination to fill the four vacancies soon to exist, and that not one of the five had made the required grade of 75 per cent. The papers, which had been graded by a half dozen members of the staff who had prepared the questions, ranged from 30 to 65 per cent out of a possible 100 per cent. "Just give me those papers," said President Motley last week "I will bring them back next week. I would like to know how a man can go to medical school four years, he graduated there and then make such grades." Springs His Coup. Yesterday at the meeting of the board Mr. Motley, with an "I thought so" expression, surprised the rest of the members by announcing his coup. "I have four sets of papers here which I had regarded by physicians not connected with our medical and surgical staff" he announced "The men I asked to do this work were simply handed the questions asked these men, with their answers. They were not even told they were Negroes. The papers were numbered from one to four, and bore not even a name. Look over the results for yourself." It was seen that No. 1, who had received a grade of 30 per cent on the part of the visiting staff, had been given 80 per cent; No. 2, who had received 63 per cent, was graded 83 per cent; No. 3, who had been given 53 per cent, was raised to 85½ per cent and No. 4, whose grade was 63 per cent, rose to 87½ per cent. Applicants Notified. The papers of No. 5 have not yet been regarded. President Motley asked A C Stowell to take them and give them to any disinterested physician and he would agree to ability by the result. The board ordered yesterday that the four men receiving the highest averages he notified that they had won positions as interns, and to prepare to report for duty in October, when the year of the men now at work expires. President Motley always has favored having Negro internes, nurses and visiting physicians at the old hospital. It is said that the regular staff of the new hospital wants white internes in the old institution because of the unusual clinical material found there which is not found among the white patients. Chairman Brown. National Committeeman Chapin Brown, accompanied by Charles Linkins, Esq., left for Utica, N. Y., Tuesday afternoon. If you want a live paper, read The Bee. PublicMen And Things PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) This being a Knights Templar and parading beneath a broiling sun, "with plumes and banners gay" looks fine to those who, beneath umbrellas, and parasols, view the parade, but to we imitators of those Knights who sallied forth over the drawbridge in the seventeenth century, it is no pink tea affair. I put on my chapeau, belt, sword and baldric this week and paraded with my brother knights, and believe me I nearly roasted. I forgot to say I also put on my clothes—my suit, though it would have been more pleasant to us knights, even if shocking to the viewers, had we been allowed to follow the custom of the Hottentots and appeared simply in one, abbreviated piece of lingerie. I do wish colored knights would hold their conclaves in September. Never again will this book of "yaller bud" march in August, unless the vicinity of that mountain Doc Cook did not ascend—Mount McKinlay. I have been so busy this week traversing the burning sands with the Shriners and drinking libations with the Sir Knights that I couldn't get a hold of that thing they call "inspiration" long enough to write much for my vaudeville column this week. When I got through with the parade my clothes were as wet with perspiration as a Monday's wash just after it has been taken from the tub. And those insignias of my race—my corns and bunyons—were painting strong enough to make me think they were as strong as a Bull Moose. I've certainly got to get Doc. Bob Douglas to work on them. I've packed my chapeau, uniform—baldric, and suit, in tamphor halls, and believe me, never will I separate that outlay from those camphor balls again when the sun is borrowing hades' surplus heat and the mercury in the thermometer has a blood heat batting average. Not me. \*\*\* I dropped in Aaron Gaskins the other day to get a lemonade. I never drink anything stronger—except occasionally on State occasions. I'm stuck on Gaskin's lemonades—they are so deliciously cooling, "doncher know." You see, Aaron has a recipe for making them that requires just a suspicion of lemon, a reminder only of sugar, and charged water and, "Black and White" in equal parts. After you have imbibed about three of them Andrew Carnegie appears like a dollar-a-day pensioner compared with yourself. I went up on the third floor, where so many of my brother pedagogues frequently go to get away from the "wulgar horde," and took one of those little curtained-off rooms, and with my lemonade? and solitude thought I would revel in a slice of reflection. There is something nice about reflection—you don't have to exert yourself. I had not been there long before three friends of mine, a pair of pedagogues who fancy they are real delattanes, and one aesthetic creature with soulful eyes, hobble skirt and a peeka--boo waist, and a hurry-up record, entered the adjoining stall, though they did not see me, and were unconscious of my presence. They talked considerable, but didn't say much—their talk being something like Woodrow Wilson's speech of acceptance—just a flow of words. After three or four rounds of soft? drinks their alimentary canels they began discussing the Sage—a usual topic when two or more wise people meet. One thought it was Mr. So-and-So. Who was the Sage. One thought it was Mr. Thingen-bob, and the creature with soulful eyes, hobble skirt and peek-a-boo waist (and now a near jag), thought it was Prof. Highbrow. They got to discussing my style to prove the correction of their claims. And they got to discussing the style of various literary chaps just to display their eruditeness. One of them said that, in snatches, my style resembled Carleil. Murder! One said there were dashes when it reminded him of Balsac Horrors! But the creature with soulful eyes, hobble hkirt and peep-a-boo waist displayed her unfamiliarity with authors by saying my style was "a dead ringer"—mark the elegance of expression—for Bulwer Lytton's style in "Soul of Black Men." At this last pronunciation, I noiselessly got up, softly to myself repeated Ben Johnson's line—"these literary fellows are devil of fellows,"—and left the place to these "three of a kind." Now who's the Sage? Well, he is a live lobster, but every guess, up to date, as to his identity, is as far from the fact as John Dancy's usual formal social function garb is from the correct style, and you know that's some long distance. \* \* \* Say, do you know this dope they advertise in all the highly colored newspapers, recommended to straighten out the conflicting kinks that adorn the pill of many Hamites, is really the goods? Well it is. While I was vacationing it I tried a little on these stubborn, retiring, reclusive locks of mine, and would you believe it, some of them were constrained to go it "straight" Had I stayed away long enough, and continued using this mutton suet compound, when I returned I would have had a wealth of long, silky, raven locks that would have made Cleopatra look like a noviate. I don't know which is the best, Hair-Vim, Kink-no-More, Kink-or, one of the many other kinds, but I do know that it started some of my minnie balls to unravel. Do you know another thing, that when one of these ordinary size kinks unravel it is about an inch straight? Well 'tis. And there is that hair food stuff warranted to make hair grow on a pine knot. It's good too—to sell. If Rosco Bruce would use a few pounds of it his own family would not recognize him on the tennis court.

J. P. Green, Ohio's venerable ex-Senator and distinguished jurist, is in the city visiting his daughter, Mr. Dr. C. C. Johnson and family, 824 Magazine Street. The Senator is in good health and still retains that approachable and quiet disposition, which is so much enviied by those less fortunate. His address delivered to the graduating class of the Central Law School May 8, 1911, remains yet fresh in the hearts and minds of all who were so fortunate to attend. Upon being interviewed the Judge said: "I am a Republican of the old line of Lincoln I care more for the race than for any political party I no longer regard Mr Roosevelt as a Republican, and think his proper sphere of action is Mexico or Central America rather than the United States. He morally assassinated the colored troops, and after years of reflection said in a speech recently delivered at Cleveland he would repeat the act if the occasion should require it. His recent act of denying suffrage to colored voters in the South emphasizes his past hostilities to the race and shows that in so far as the colored American is concerned he is the enemy of the "square deal," and not its friend." Judge Green leaves Saturday morning, on the 17th inst., for his home in Cleveland, Ohio. "Long live 'The Grand Old Man.'" The Week in Society Your doctor wants your prescriptions filled right.

The United Citizens' Association of Fairmount Heights held its installation exercises in the Public Hall Wednesday night, August 14. 1912. They were in charge of Dr. Francis J. Cardozo, principal of one of the larger schools of the District of Columbia. The exercises were conducted with such grace and ease that they took the fancy of the large and appreciative audience. So much so he received the congratulations of all. After calling the house to order, giving a brief description or history of the community and the association, prayer was offered by Rev A H Strother, the newly elected chaplain "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was sung, Mr A. E. Briscoe playing the piano Mr. F. D. Henry, of the District of Columbia, a life long friend of Dr. F. J.

My advice is that each of us put our shoulders to the wheel and make Fairmount Heights what it ought to be. We can do it. We have built streets, put in lights, built bridges; we built this hall, and can build a bank. We can do these things and more if we work together." (Applause.) Mr. C. L.

Young Mother, Formerly Miss Madeleine Force, Is Doing Well—Baby Named John Jacob Astor, After His Father. A $3,000,000 baby was born at the Astor mansion, 840 Fifth avenue, New York city. It is a boy and will bear the name of its father, John Jacob Astor, who went down with the Titanic in the greatest marine disaster of modern times. The birth of the child was announced by Dr. Edwln B. Craglin in the following statement: "A child was born to Mrs. John Jacob Astor. It is a boy and its name is John Jacob Astor. The mother is in good condition." Dr. Cragin later announced that the baby welghed 7% pounds when born. By the will of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor to this posthumous heir was left $3,000,000. There had been rumors circulated that if the child were a boy a contest would be instituted by Colonel Astor's widow, Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor, to secure greater wealth for her son. This matter will be determined later. Preparation for the arrival of the millionaire baby was made, when Mr. and Mrs. William Force, parents of Mrs. Astor, were summoned to the Fifth avenue mansion, but the accouchement was delayed for many hours. Shortly before the birth of the child Mrs. Astor was removed from the room which she had been occupying ever since her arrival in New York to a larger and more commodious one on the second floor of the big mansion. Dr. Cragin has been in constant attendance upon Mrs. Astor since the week before last. In making official announcement of the birth, D- Craigin said that the baby and Mrs. Astor were in excellent condition. At the same time he said that he did not look for any complications, but that he expected the young mother and her baby to continue doing well. There had been considerable fear among the relatives of Mrs. Astor as to the outcome because of her physical sufferings and mental stress resulting from the disaster to the Titanic on which she was a passenger with her husband. Unusual interest from the social, financial and legal viewpoints attaches to the status of the new child. There is a possibility that the birth of the boy may mean a legal contest for the administration of the $150,000,000 Astor estate. Under the terms of the Astor will the sum of $3,000,000 was set aside for each child born, other than the children Vincent and Muriel, of whom Mrs. Ava Willing Astor is the mother. The new baby had a stock of clothes ready for him that would delight a whole congress of mothers. The little wardrobe represented an outlay of more than $2000 for the essentials alone, and much of the embroidery on the dainty little garments was the handwork of the young mother. Much of the filmsy, fluffy raiment was imported from a Paris dealer, and the best experts in New York worked for months upon some of the dainty things in which a baby Astor will coo his way into the world of fashion and finance. The baby is the fifth of the name. John Jacob Astor, the first was born in 1763, the second in 1778, the third in 1822. Colonel John Jacob Astor, father of the present owner of the name, was the fourth to bear the name of the founder of the family fortune. Jules Emile Frederic Massenet, the famous French composer, died in Paris, France. Among Massenet's best known operas are "Thais," "Don Caesar de Bazan," "Herodalde," "Manon," and that exquisite presentation of a phase of mediaeval life, "Le Jongleur de Notre Dame," which is so deservedly popular in America. Massenet had been suffering for a long time with cancer, but his death was not expected yet. He was a grand officer of the Legion of Honor and a member of the French Institute. Massenet was the youngest memoir of a family of twenty-one children. He was born at Moutaud, near St Etienne, May 12, 1842. His father was one of Napoleon the First most distinguished officers. On the lad developing a strong musical talent he was sent to the Conservatoire at the age of fifteen, becoming in turn the pupil of Laurent, Reber and Ambrose Thomas. In 1859 Jules Massenet obtained the first prize for instrumental playing. Four years later one of his compositions, a cantata entitled "David Rizio," won him a Prix de Rome. Massenet's latest opera, "Don quichotte," which has already been produced in Paris, will have its first American production this fall. First Woman to Be G. A. R. Member. For the first time in its history the Grand Army of the Republic in New York city s to admit a woman to full membership in its ranks. The first feminine is Mrs. Annie X. Poth, chief companion of the Companions of the Forest of America. The Phil. Kearny Post No. 8 will assemble in full uniform at the Benheimer building, 107 West 116th street, where the inauguration ceremonies will take place. It is expected that many of the high commissioned officers will attend and assist in presenting to Mrs. Poth a specially executed commission, enrolling her as the first and only woman admitted to the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. Picks Death By Shooting. If there are five men willing to undertake the task of shooting a man to death, Warden George W. Cowing, of the Nevada state prison at Reno, is anxious to obtain their services. He has made efforts to find the five, but has met with no success, and the date of the execution has been set for August 20. The situation that confronts the warden is due to the new law which grants the privilege to a man condemned to death to choose the means whereby he shall be put to death—whether by the rope or by shooting. The man to be killed is Andrigt Mirkovich, of Tonopah, and he prefers to be shot. General Barry's New Post. Major General Thomas H. Barry, U. S. A., superintendent of the military academy at West Point, has been assigned to command the eastern division, with headquarters at New York, succeeding the late Major General Frederick D. Grant. Colonel C. P. Townsley, coast artillery, in command of the Portland, Me., artillery district, will succeed General Barry as superintendent of the military academy on Aug. 31. Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss, acting since General Grant's death as commander-in-chief of the eastern division, returns to his duties as commander of the department of the east. Bullet Kills at Two Miles. County Detective Schangler, of Altoona, Pa., has discovered that the bullet which killed John Young last Wednesday night was fired from a gun more than two miles distant. Alfred Buchanan at Brush Mountain was trying an old Swiss army rifle carrying a bullet weighing 300 grains, not knowing its power when he fired. Young, with a number of companions, was watching a display of fireworks in this city, when he was struck by the bullet. The bullet was found on Saturday near where he fell. Profesor Hangs Himself. Professor James H. Corey, aged forty years, of Doane's Academy Prepartory School, near Granville, Ohio, committed suicide by hanging himself. Mrs. Corey is in a critical condition from the shock, and it is feared she cannot recover. Professor Corey was confined in a hospital for the insane fourteen years ago, but was discharged, physicians maintaining that his mental pulse was completely restored. Armed Men Bob Street Car. Four men boarded a Western avenue street car near West Fourteenth street, Chicago, covered passengers with revolvers and escaped after taking $21 and a watch from the conductor and jewelry from several passegers. A. C. Thnumm, a cigar dealer, was choked into unconsciousness and robbed of $1500 and jewelry by three men on the north side. Secretary Wilson 17 Years Old. "Tama Jim" Wilson, secretary of agriculture, is seventy-seven years old. Secretary Wilson said he was looking forward to leaving public life on March 5, next, so that he might go home among his grandchildren, "Don his overalls and move around among the common people." Can't Become a Citizen. Although Albert H.

Some years ago he did a favor for a friend, who, to show his appreciation, presented him with a pipe of meerschaum persuasion, wonderfully and marvelously wrought and bearing date of a hundred years before. The young man treasured this pipe, which was to him a masterpiece. And whenever the blue smoke curled upward from its bowl his heart swelled with the thought of the generosity and goodness of the human race, for he had been told when the pipe was handed to him that a pawnbroker would advance $3 on it, thus proving it to be worth at least a ten spot. Doing favors, he thought, surely furnished recompense. And then one day he broke the stem. He took it to a tobaccoist, with whom he was well acquainted, and asked to have it mended. "It's such a treasure," he explained. "Notice the work on it and the date." The tobaccoist smiled. "My boy," he remarked, "they turn these out by the barrel and sell them for 10 cents."—New York Tribune. The Jade Jokai Loved. Of one phase of his life Jokal, the Hungarian novelist, wrote in disgust: "Well, confess it I must. I have a sweetheart, for whose sake I have been faithless not only to my wife, but to my muse also—a sweetheart who has appropriated my best ideas and whose slave I was and still am. Often have I wasted half my fortune upon her and rushed blindly into misfortune to please her. For her sake I have patiently endured insult, ridicule and reprobation; for her sake I have staked life and liberty. Now, if she had been a pretty young damsel there might have been some excuse for me, but she was a nasty, old, painted figurehead of a beldame, a flirting, faithless, fickle, foul mouthed, scandal mongering old liar, whom the whole world courts, who makes fools of all her wooers and changes her lovers as often as she changes her dress. Her name is Politics, and may the plague take her!" Live Stock Markets PITTSBURGH (Unlon Stock Yards) —CATTLE steady; choice, $9.25@9.50; prime, $8.65@9.19.

Write for literature today. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Heroio Training. Concerning a region in Tibet an authority says: "The only satisfactory feature about the people's condition was their fine physique and their agreeable, cheery disposition under the most depressing conditions. Their superior stature and build are accounted for partly by the fact that the day after their children are born their mothers carry them to the nearest stream and plunge them into the water, even in the depth of winter, when the temperature is often down to 15 or 20 degrees below zero. Infants which survive this heroic ordeal are then smeared thickly all over with grease and exposed for several hours every day of their young lives in the open air, so that they may grow up strong and hardy and fit to defy all weathers, which the majority of them are certainly well able to do." Old Time Election Law American electors were at one time required to possess very high qualifications. In parts of New England during the seventeenth century voters had to reside in "a stone house of the dimensions of twenty feet by sixteen with on or more brick or stone chimney or chimnies." Each voter had also to be certified by his neighbors "of sober and peaceable conversation." In Connecticut every candidate for the local assembly had to furnish a certificate from the selectmen of the town where he resided that he was "of quiet and peaceable behavior and civil conversation." That the selectmen might exercise due care in signing such certificates they were liable to a fine of $25 in case the candidate turned out otherwise than was represented. Era of the Olympiads The "era of the Olympians," or the "Olympian era," began July 1, 776 B.C. An Olympiad was a period of four years, the games being celebrated every fourth year. When it was first proposed to use the Olympian era the earliest record that could be found was that of the victory of Choronebus, who won the great foot race long before horse racing and charat racing were introduced. His victory was taken as the starting point of the Olympians. A. Courageous Physician. A Courageous Physician. Doctor—Mrs. Knagg, your hugband needs six months' rest.

The most harmful of all habit forming drugs is cocaline. Nothing so quickly deteriorates its victim or provides so short a cut to the insane usylium. It differs from opium in two important ways. A man does not acquire a habit from cocaline in the sense that it is virtually impossible for him to leave it off without medical treatment. He can do so, although he rarely does. On withdrawal he experiences only an intense and horrible depression, together with a physical languor which results in a sleepiness that cannot be shaken off. Opium withdrawal, on the other hand, results in sleeplessness and extreme nervous and physical disorder. In action, too, cocaine is exactly the opposite of opium, for cocaine is an extreme stimulant. Its stimulus wears off quickly and leaves a corresponding depression, but it confers half an hour of capability of intense effort. That is why bicycle riders, prizefighters and race horses are often doctored or "doped" with cocaine. When cocaine gives out its victim invariably resorts to alcohol for stimulus. Alcoholics, however, when deprived of alcohol generally drift into the use of morphine.—Charles B. Towns in Century. HIS MISSING ENVELOPE. He Learned Where It Was and a Lesson at the same Time. This happened in a crowded subway express train the other night. An old man boarded the train at the Fourteenth street station and clung to a strap in front of a young woman who was seated. As none of the men showed a disposition to let the old man sit down, the young woman arose and offered her seat to him. Before he could sit down a younger man slid into the vacant seat. The young woman was confused, but only for a minute. She leaned down slightly and said to the man in the seat: "You dropped an envelope on the platform, sir." The man jumped up and elbowed his way to the platform. Half a minute's search failed to reveal the supposed envelope. The man returned to where the young woman was standing and said: "Say, lady, where is that envelope? I can't find it out there." "That envelope," replied the young woman. "is in the same place your manners are." The young man understood and faded from view. The old man got the seat, while the people in the vicinity looked, listened and laughed. — New York Sun. A Dark Dungeon About the middle of February, 1862, while in winter quarters, General Negley of Pennsylvania, who was a strict disciplinarian, was in command of the First brigade, of which tb. Second New Hampshire was a part. He thought the guardhouse of the Second regiment too comfortable quarters for prisoners and ordered Colonel Marston, who later won fame as a soldier, lawyer and statesman, to build a dungeon without so much as a crack or opening anywhere, so that it should be perfectly dark. The dungeon was built with four solid walls, and one day General Negley came over to inspect it. He was accompanied by Colonel Marston "Where is the entrance," sald the general, "and how do you get anybody into it?" "Oh." said Colonel Marston, "that is not my lookout. I simply obeyed your orders." Why the Deaf Are Grateful Why the Dear Are Grateful. A pleasant contrast to the sad fate of Beethoven is furnished by Dr. Thirlwall, the radical bishop of St. David's, who wrote the history of Greece that held the field before the arrival of Grote. In his old age he became stone deaf; but, so far from fretting, declared that the infirmity was really a blessing, because it relieved him from the futile conversation of bores. One day a friend, forgetting the bishop's deafness, greeted him with the usual remark about the weather "Eb'f" queried the bishop "It is a fine day!" bellowed the friend repeatedly into the prelate's ear. When Thirlwall finally grasped the meaning of the remark he quietly philosophized "Dear me! How little a man loses by being deaf!" -London Chronicle. Fully Explained.

Twenty millions of unclaimed money are in the coffers of British banks—derelict gold which nobody owns and which the banks are naturally pleased to take care of—gold more than sufficient to pave every square foot of Cheapside with sovereigns. Some years ago, when Mr. Goschen's conversion scheme was in the air, it was found that the Bank of England alone had nearly 11,000 of these dormant accounts. Forty of them had more than $50,000-apiece to their credit. One balance was written in six figures—$007,000. The total at the bottom of the long list was $39,248,875. This amount was very largely made up of unclaimed dividends on government stock. For seven years the bankers keep the accounts open, prepared to pay over the balance to any who can prove title to it. This term expired, they regard the forgotten gold as their own. Five million dollars of such ownerless money went to build London's splen did law courts. The city, it is said, has more than one magnificent bank building reared from the same handy material The Bank of England, one learns, provides pensions for clerks widows out of such a fund. But, whatever becomes of it, these millions of "mystery gold" are always growing, fed by man's carelessness or forgetting, their secrets hidden away in thousands of musty bank ledgers—London Tilt-Bits. A. BONE IN THE THROAT. Lemon Juice, It Is Said, Will Quickly Melt It Away. Sitting at a planked shad dinner, a laughing guest drew a bone into his throat, and he began to strangle. Some one suggested that the sufferer swallow a fragment of dry bread. "Oh, no!" exclaimed one man. "Don't give him bread. It might catch the bone, and it might not. Give him something that is sure to give relief." Beckoning to a waiter, he said, "Bring me a lemon, cut in two." And it was brought without delay. Taking one section, he offered it to the choking guest and told him to suck the juice and to swallow it slowly. Directions were faithfully followed, and in about a quarter of a minute the afflicted one placed the half lemon on his plate, looked into the anxious faces around the table and smiled. "Well, Joe," said one, "how about it?" "It's gone," was the reply. "The bone has silenced down." "Not exactly that," said the man who suggested it. "The bone slipped down, all right, but it was melted first by the citric acid. I never knew it to fall to dissolve a fishbone. You can test the power of lemon juice by dropping some on the fishbones you may have lying on your plate." Several dinners made the experiment. In each case the acid reduced the bone to liquid gelatin—New York Press. They Tell a Different Story. There are peculiarities of our English language which no other language exhibits. Did you ever notice how many English words are formed by simply dropping the first letters—for example, wheat, heat, eat, at; sham ham, am; wheel, heel, eel; whale, hale ale, and scores of others? Again, we have in our mother tongue two words which joined together make a distinct word of an entirely different meaning. Just as a single word disjointed does. Take the words "since" and "rely" or the separate word "sincerely." To illustrate: Your letter came in words that tempt me dearly But on another's love you since rely. Origin of "Chauffeur." There were chauffeurs long before automobiles. History tells us that about the year 1705 men strangely accoutered their faces covered with soot and their eyes carefully disguised, entered by night farms and lonely habitations and committed all sorts of depredations. They garroted their victims, dragged them before a great fire, where they burned the soles of their feet and demanded information as to the whereabouts of their money and jewels; hence they were called "chauffeurs." a name which frightened so much our good grandmothers.—Paris Journal A la Crimson Gulch. "These great nations," remarked Plute Pete as he thoughtfully folded his newspaper, "have purty much the same idea that we have here in Crimson Gulch." "In what respect?" . "They sort of take it for granted that the one that kni shoot quickest, straightest and oftenest is sort of naturally entitled to be considered boss." —Washington Star.

C., Sunday morning, August 18. A Rev. Green preached for Rev. Sprague at the same hour. Elder Lewis C. Sheafe preached at 3 o'clock. Great crowds were out to hear him. He preached a splendid sermon and sang many beautiful pieces. Mrs. Lucy Parker Sheafe played the piano with telling effect. It may be interesting to know that Mrs. Sheafe is an Mahamian by birth. She was born at Marian, the garden spot for producing the best men or women in the world. Marion is an educational center. The old State normal school, which had its origin at Greensboro, and soon firmly established itself at Marion, Ala., had great influence for good upon the people. The school, with Prof. W. B.

Therefore, you may bet your last dollar on any one born and reared at Marion, Ala. The choir went to Jones' Chapel M. E. Church Sunday night. Praver Meeting The prayer meeting was well attended Thursday night, August 15. There were three times as many participants as on Thursday night of last week. Rev. O. C. Sprague, the pastor, was on hand and opened the meeting, which he soon turned over to Rev. Addison. There was great rejoicing on account of the presence of Sister Estella Watkins in the meeting. She came filled with the Holy Spirit, which soon ran from breast to breast and the place caught on hallowed fire. Rev. Dr. Thomas, nineteen years a traveling elder in the South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church, who is stopping with Mr. and Mrs. James P Ware, was present, and told us that he had traveled North, South, East and West; he had traveled all over the land: and "everywhere he goes he found somebody talking about Jesus." Choir Practice. The choir practice was attended Friday night, August 16, by the following members: Mr. W. H. Addison, chorister; Mrs. Lavenia Briscoe, assistant chorister; Miss Lillian Knight, organist; Mrs. Queen V. Coalman, Mr. J. A. Campbell and Mr. A. E. Briscoe. The choir, like the other departments of the church, is improving, and soon may vie with the choir of Asbury F. E. Church, Washington, D.C. Mr John Cotton, of Baltimore, a friend of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Campbell, is here on a visit, and attended the choir practice. Baptist Church. The Baptist Church is progressing nicely Rev. A. H. Strother, a good soldier of the cross, is still battling for the Lord. He held special meetings Sunday morning and night. He preached at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Martha Sherts, of Washington, D. C., preached Sunday night. The church was full of anxious hearers, who rejoiced that they turned out to hear her. She has agreed to preach for Elder Strother on the first and second Sunday afternoons at 3 o'clock. The public is invited to hear her. "The first step has bee naken towards the erection of the First Baptist Church of North Fairmount Heights." "This being the name of the church of which Elder-Strother is in charge.

The general work all girls who pursue the regular course at Tuskegee must take. They must know how to clean and put a room in order, how to set a table and wait on it, how to cook and serve a meal, and how to care for young children. Whatever their particular trade, these branches they must study both in theory and in practice. This work begins with their own rooms, which must be kept tidy, at all times subject to inspection. They must attend cooking classes so many hours per week where they take up the theory of cooking and then actually cook under the direction of competent teachers. In these classes much stress is placed on cooking the ordinary dishes, so as to bring more delight into the homes of the common people. Along with instruction in setting the table, managing the meal from the point of view of the hostess receives much attention. Then they go away to the students' dining hall, thence to the teachers' dining hall, where they are required to serve a certain amount of time putting their theories into actual practice. A regular room is set apart for child-study work. Bassinets, pillows, toys and all the material used in an ordinary nursery are placed at the disposal of the girls. The teacher begins with the study of the child in its earliest infancy, how to amuse, bathe, dress and care for the child in its earliest stages. The Tuskegee hospital and the surrounding homes serve as laboratories for the students in these classes. They visit, observe and then do the work themselves. This course, however, is open to upper class girls only, and not to those just beginning their course. With her general work and her academic work, the young woman may choose one of several trades. Of course young women may pursue studies in poultry raising, dairying, fruit growing and the like, as many are now doing; but the trades open particularly for girls are: plain sewif, dressmaking, ladies' tailoring, millinery, cooking or domestic science, soap making, laundering, mattress-making, basketry, broom making and nurse training. In all these trades a fair balance is struck between theory and practice. A young woman who works in the laundry, for example, does not simply learn to wash and iron. She learns the various chemicals used in washing, how to bleach, remove stains and the like. She learns how to handle all the up-to-date machinery in the laundry, the washer, the mangle, the evaporator, machines built especially for certain articles, for collars or for shirts. Then she gains a business knowledge of the trade, by handling and checking clothes as they come in and again checking them and verifying them as they go out. When therefore she receives her certificate she is not simply ready to go out and wash and iron, but to establish a laundry business with all the modern equipment her capital and patronage will permit. So too, it is again, to choose one more example, with the young woman who makes a specialty of cooking or domestic science. During her course she cooks and serves meals. She has her classes in theory and of directing a meal, and then in her chemistry class she makes a specialty of the chemistry of cooking. Probably no call now is louder than that for women trained in one or more of these branches of industry. Year by year more public and private schools are putting the teaching of these trades on their curricula. They need teachers. From Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri, and many other States come annually more demands for such teachers than Tuskegee can fill; and the salaries are good. As with the boys, the young woman is given a chance to use any special talent she has to aid her through school. If she wants to wait on table to pay part of her board, such a chance is open to her. If she sings, she is paid for her services in the choir. If she plays various opportunities will be given her to use her talent in this direction. On the other hand, if she wishes to pursue courses in music these, with a slight extra charge, are open to her. Regular lessons are given in both piano and voice, and any student who proves at all fit is given countless opportunities to appear in public. Class exercises, rhetoricals, public debates, and the social gatherings between the boys and girls afford ample sway for all those who have talent and wish to develop confidence. Most important of all, in all the work, whether theoretical or practical, the young woman's physical education is not lost sight of. Just as it is believed that no woman is really educated without some knowledge of domestic life, so it is felt that no girl is ready to go out into the world without a well trained, graceful body. Hence a regular course of gymnastics is scheduled for all girls. If the young woman attends day school she has so many hours per week for gymnastic work. If she goes to night school, she has her gymnastics before these classes begin. In all cases, when the weather permits, the classes are held out of doors, the idea being to bring good health and strong bodies rather than to teach the rather fancy indoor gymnastics. Dumb bell drills, wand drills, exercises in running, basket ball playing and marching lend variety throughout the course. These exercises are for all girls, but in later years the placing of Negro schools in the hands of Negroes has given rise to the young woman gymnastic teacher. In many of the larger Negro schools, and more especially in Negro private schools and colleges, the Negro girl who can teach gymnastics is eagerly sought. Tuskegee offers special courses to those who are planning to do, this work, under an instructor from Sargent's Gymnasium. Mr. Anderson Honored. Mr. Charles W.
