METHODIST CONFERENCE. A Largely Attended Meeting. The twenty-second District Conference and Epworth League Convention of the Alexandria District, Washington annual conference, was held in John Wesley M. E. Church, Rev. T. N. Austin, pastor, Salem Va., from August 27th to September 1st, 1912. The District Superintendent, Dr. W. C. Thompson, was delayed until Wednesday evening, because of W. W. C. Thompson's illness. Rev. C. S. Briggs was elected president pro tem. Tuesday evening Rev. J. H. Carpenter preached the introductory sermon to a large and appreciative audience. On Wednesday morning Rev. E. J. Ruddock delivered a logical and soul stirring sermon. The Rev. S. A. Virgil, assisted by Rev. J. W. T. Wilson and the writer, administered the Holy Communion. The conference was organized with Mr. H. A. Barrett secretary pro tem. Rev. V. E. Johnson, treasurer, and Miss M. E. Buckner, organist. Welcome addresses. His Honor, the Mayor, was represented by Mr. E. D. Deniton; behalf of the citizens, Rev. C. G. Miller, D. D., Baptist Churches, the Rev. W. G. Spratly, M. E. Church, Mr. M. L. Morris, local Epworth League, Rev. T. N. Austin, local church. Rev. A J Mitchell and Mr. A. D. Logan being absent, the District Superintendent responded comprehensively and profoundly. In the afternoon session of the first three days, the Epworth League convention met. The District President, Mr. C. M. Morton, made his report. He pointed out the opportunities and responsibilities of presidents of local chapters. Mrs. A. W Carpenter's paper was read by Miss Mattie Wray. Mrs. E. C. Eldridge, Miss J. Gurly and Prof. W. R Wilson read papers that commanded keen attention for elegance and practicability The select readings of Miss Carrie Nicken and Miss M. J. Tancil were of a high order. The papers of Rev. T. H. Brooks, F. F. King, Lawyer D. W. Harth and Mr. H. A Barrett were clear and forceful. They created a heated discussion. The Epworth League quartette of Jackson Street Church, Lynchburg, was in demand thrice daily. Dr. I. L. Thomas addressed the conference and convention eloquently in the interest of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. Reports from pastors and representatives indicated that the spiritual atmosphere, that loyalty to church at tendance and that the pecuniary support of institutions were optimistic. The District Superintendent's report was cogent, elevating and impressive. The Hon. A. J. Oliver, L.L. P., delivered a timely and effective address to the League. Mrs. Geneva Herndon, the president of the District Woman's Home Missionary Society in her address, thanked the pastors and presidents for their encouragement and help during the year, and urged non-active churches to behold the field. A special feature of the conference and convention was the charming music of the Roanoke and Salem choirs rendered. At the sunrise prayer meeting Sunday an interested crowd of devout Christians were present. The Love Feast was conducted in true Methodist fashion, and edifying of believers. Drs. W. C. Thompson, S. A. Virgil and Rev. F. F King sermons will abide long in the people's heart. Much praise is due the pastor, Rev. T. N. Austin, officers and people, for their cordial entertainment. The program committee deserves special commendation for arrangements, subjects, and persons who so ably equipped and brought messages of love and cheer. The Rev. W. G. Thompson is esteemed and followed by his men. A gold watch will be presented to our District Superintendent at the annual conference by his brethren on the district I II. CARPENTER TAFT WILL WIN. A Biblical Prediction. And the Editor had a dream. He saw a great commotion in the law. The people, we thought, were all excited. A cry went out from among the people that Taft was elected. Only one other man was heard mentioned in the cry, and that was Wilson. How it was done no one knew. But the church played an important part. Things have begun to look bright. Before they looked darker. The cry went out that the November election was over and President Taft has won. Now put this down, that Wm. Howard Taft will be the next resident of the United States. The Kindergarten School. We have been informed that a recommendation will be made to the Board of Education abolishing Kindergarten School No. 2. If such attempt is made to abolish this school the citizens of this city should take some action to prevent it. Why should this school be abolished? Are our colored schools retrograding? Good Appointment The President in appointing Aaron Bradshaw, Jr., to the cadetship at West Point from the District of Columbia, in so doing recognized scholarly merit. President Oyster, of the school board, and Superintendent of Aaron Bradshaw, Jr. Son of Aaron Bradshaw, Sr., appointed by President Taft to West Point. Captain James F. Oyster and Superintendent Davidson, of the public schools, highly recommended this talented young man. WM. H. Schools Davidson should feel highly gratified that the President designated the candidate so strongly endorsed by them. The Editor of The Bee thinks he can safely speak for all the colored people of the District of Columbia when he says that they are gratified that he has given the honor where it was so well merited. The father of young Mr. Bradshaw, and all of his people before him, have always stood for justice and equal rights for all men. All colored men know the fearless manner in which Aaron Bradshaw has always stood for the right, and congratulate him that his son has been so signally honored by President WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 1912 [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. PUBLIC PRINTER DONNERLY Who Believes in a Square Deal SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR, An Appreciation of the Late Negro Composer—Incidents in His Life. (Meers in the N. Y. Tribune.) Carl Soteekel, with his brances of the White Conn., U. S. A., and the there.-S. C. T." ART New York, Suit (Mees in the N. Y. Triune). In view of Dr. Booker T. Washington's sketch accompanying the announcement of the death of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor in yesterday's issue of the Tribune, it would seem fitting that a few words be added regarding the visit of the composer to America two years ago, because this visit, as he himself retreated declared, exerted a decided influence on his subsequent activity. It was in June, 1910, that Coleridge-Taylor came to America (for the second time, I believe) in response to the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel, whose munificence has made the meetings and concerts of the Litchfield County Choral Union (which are given in a hall specially erected by them for the purpose) truly unique in many respects. Of American composers Professor Horatio Parker, George W. Chadwick and Henry Hadley, had been commissioned to write works for these festivals and invited to come to Norfolk, Conn, to conduct them. In accepting a like commission, Coleridge-Taylor, in 1910, conducted his "Hiwatha's Wedding Feast," and "The Death of Minnehaha," at Norfolk, and also the orchestral composition written for this festival, "The Bamboula Rhapsodic Dance," (founded on a West Indian air), which latter was pronounced by the judicious to be one of the most spontaneous and at the same time well constructed orchestral scores which he had placed to his credit. During his stay in Norfolk as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Stoeckel, Coleridge-Taylor was so delighted with the cordial performance shown him that one day after a drive over the beautiful Berkshire he retired to his room to jot down some themes for a work which, as he said, he had in mind. These became the nucleus of the dainty choral work, "A Tale of Old Japan," which had its initial performances at Albany last May under my direction and at Norfolk on June 4, under the direction of Richmond P. Payne, the conductor of the Norfolk festivals. In the course of the same visit Coleridge-Taylor was asked and gladly consented to compose a violin concerto which Miss Maud Powell should play at Norfolk the following year. The concerto was not finished in time for the festival of 1911. As the commission, however, was made to hold good and as Coleridge-Taylor was not satisfied with the concerto when completed, he set about writing another one. On this he put the finishing touches barely in time to send the score and parts by the promised date. The score arrived, but the parts were lost with the Titanic. New ones were copied, however, in haste, and Miss Powell played the concerto as well as a transcription of "Keep Me From Sinkin' Down," for violin and orchestra, made by Coleridge-Taylor for Mrs. Stoeckel, on June 4, of this year. It was the consensus of opinion of the musicians present that this concerto would add materially to the status of Coleridge-Taylor as a composer. Coleridge-Taylor, who endeared himself to all by his charming personality, repeatedly by word of mouth and in letters, assured me and other that the whole-hearted welcome accorded him by his host and hostess at Norfolk and the cordiality with which he was received by those he met there had filled him with new energy, enthusiasm and love for work. That these were not empty words is borne out by the dedication of his last choral work "A Tale of Old Japan," which reads: "To Mr. and Mrs. Carl Soteckel, with happiest remembrances of the White House, Norfolk Conn., U. S. A., and the people I met there.—S. C. T." ARTHUR MEES. New York, Sept. 3, 1912. Auditor Tylers' Report. Auditor of the Navy Department Ralph W. Tyler, has submitted his annual report for the year ended June 30, 1912, to the Secretary of the Treas- RALPH W. TYLER ury. Auditor Tyler made several important recommendations.. It is no doubt the most concise and the shortest report that has ever been submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury The Afro-American Press. (Chicago Fellowship Herald) (Henry P. Peterson) The Herald is in receipt of much interesting matter from Washington City this week relative to President Taft's goodness to the Negro in the way of appointments, and asking its insertion in these columns. This communication is, signed "The Afro-American Press." There are three reasons why The Herald does not avail itself of this courtesy. The first is, that no responsible name is signed to either communication. We do not print matter unless the name of some responsible person is attached. Secondly, while the Herald believes in the Republican party, it believes that its bid for the Negro vote should be based on higher ground than a list of the jobs and the salaries thereof, which Negroes hold under President Taft. Jobs are alright in their places but they avail but little if the bulk of the race is to remain disfranchised, peonized, lynched and Jim Crowed. What the race wants to know is "what will the Republican party do to remove these evils, if the Negro help to put it back into power." Finally, the Republican party managers have made a mistake if they hope to use the columns of the Negro press for campaign purposes by simply sending out printed matter signed in any such mythical way. The Negro editor who would permit his or her columns to be used in such way has neither intelligence nor influence that would be of the least benefit to the party in the fight before it. Note.—Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett is the editor of the Fellowship Herald. Cyrus Field Adams is the Afro-American Press. Eleventh Year. Dr. Corrothers, in his eleventh year at Galbraith, proves more popular than ever. The largest congregation in the history of the church, is to be found there at every service, for this season of the year. The membership of the church has been divided into seventy-five groups, and each group has been requested to raise a certain amount of money on or before the first Sunday in November. The choir has been on a vacation for the summer. They will begin their regular work Sunday morning. September 15. At 11 o'clock A. M., Rev. S. L. Corrothers, the pastor, will deliver the third of a series of sermons upon the Secret of the Loss of Power on the Part of the American Negro. The public is invited to all the services. THE CHURCH WILL Estate of the Late Robert Church. Bequeaths by Will to His Family in Just Proportions—Estate Approximates One Million Dollars. (Special to The Ran special to The Bee. MEMPHIS, TENN, Sept. 10. The State appraisers have about concluded their appraisement of the estate of the late Robert R. Church. Their estimate, it is learned, will show the value of the estate is very near the one million dollar mark. As far as can be learned, the will left by the deceased, authorizes no bequests of any kind to schools, churches or charities, but bequeaths the entire estate, less the inheritance tax deducted by provisions of the State law, to the family in proportions so equitable as to be accepted as just by each and every heir. The remains of the deceased were hermetically sealed up in one of the drawers of his magnificent $11,000 mausoleum in the most beautiful white cemetery in this city. The late Robert Church was possessed of several valuable pieces of property in Washington, in addition to his large holdings in this city. A. I. O. OF MOSES—1877-1912. New Acquisition of Property—Audi- tence Hall, Park torium Hall Purchased by Moses. One of the greatest organizations in this city is the National Supreme Grand Lodge of the A. I. O. of Moses.

Tyler was taken suddenly ill last Saturday after eating crabs, fish, and drinking milk. He is able to be out again. President Taft is greatly pleased with the Republican victory in Maine. The outlook for Republican success in November is encouraging. A new member of the Board of Education will be appointed when the full bench of the District Supreme Court meets. Politicians and colored candidates with white wives will be barred. The appointment of Aaron Bradshaw, Jr., to the West Point Military Academy is a compliment to the District of Columbia. President Taft is to be thanked and young Bradshaw is to be congratulated. The State of Maryland has picked Taft Electors, which will insure success in November. There is every reason to believe that the Republicans will carry the State in November. The Republicans of Maine have elected the entire State ticket, including three or four Congressmen and one Senator. This doesn't look like a Democratic year. Editor Slaughter, of the Odd Fellows Journal, has a big fight on his hands, with the great bosses in the Odd Fellows. The District of Columbia will hold an examination for sanitary and food inspection. This is a chance for a few colored applicants to enter. It looks as if it will be necessary for the President to declare war against Mexico. There has been sufficient provocation. It is rumored that Capt. James F. Oyster, ex-Commissioner H. L.

In colonial days the shipping for our home trade and for sale abroad was built chiefly in the district of Maine and in New Hampshire. These two colonies built rather more than one-half the entire American tonnage in the days immediately preceding the Revolution. The older ports could not compete with the new settlements amid the timber. When the great trees had been exhausted on the river banks gangs of shipwrights went a mile or two into the forests and here on the uplands would build a vessel of 100 tons or more, mount her on strong sledges of timber, hitch on a team of 200 oxen and drag it in one steady pull over the snow to the frozen surface of a navigable stream. Such a team of oxen would be a quarter of a mile long, and it took the teamstership of a major general to start them all at once. It was called "raising them," and this work once done nothing must stop them till the ship, rested on the ice.-Boston Globe. Grim Humor Saved His Life. When a spy was caught and brought before Marshal Bassompiere, the marshal addressed him with the formula he always used, when sentencing a man to death: "Brother, you or I must certainly be hanged!" Next day as the spy was being dragged to the gallows he adjudged his jailers to allow him a last interview with the marshal, as he had something of supreme importance to say to him. The jailers were so im-pressed by his intense earnestness that they begged the marshal to give him audience. "Bring the dog in!" cried Bassom pliere. "What's your business?" he asked the spy impatiently when he was dragged in. "On this, my lord At our last interview you said either you or I must be hanged. Did you really mean that? It's of supreme importance to you or me, because if you won't be hanged I must, that's all." The marshal was so tickled with the man's humor that he ordered his release.—London Mall. The Pageda on the Balanced Rock. One of the curious sights of Burma is a huge bowler on Kelasa heights that rests in delicate poles on the very brink of a rounded cliff. Sq unstain is the equilibrium that the rock trembles in the wind. Very naturally thodd freak has attracted the attention of the superstitious natives, who look upon it as a miraculous work of the gods. They believe that the rock is held in place by a hair of Buddh. Hence they have clambered to the top of the rock and built there a pagoda which is about twenty-five feet in height. Should the bowler ever fall as is quite likely to happen, and dash to death a handful of worshipers the blind faith of the devout people would not be shaken, for in the catastrophe no doubt, they would see but a manfestation of divine wrath at some unconscious sin of commission or omission. A Quaint Costume. The Thames waterman of a former day was bound by a number of restrictions. He was the first public servant to wear a uniform. "Long be fore-England's army and navy were any distinguishing garb," writes Gun Nickalls, "The Thames watermen were known by their uniform and badge, a plaited coat, knee breeches and stockings and hat according to fashion, but always a plate on the arm, either of the Waterman's hall, to denote that they had the freedom of the river and were licensed, or the badge of their employer. Any person rowing or working any boat, wherry or other vessel who had not served seven years as apprentice incurred a penalty of £10."—London Globe. Arabian Snuff. Snuff in Arabia is not used as it is with us, although one occasionally sees a snuffer, but the snuff is ordinarily made into a pill of about the size of a robin's egg and is placed between the lower front lip and the teeth. This manner of using snuff is common among the laboring class, and almost every cooiler that is met in the street has his lower lip puffed out by a ball of snuff behind it. Arabian snuff is prepared out of the ordinary powdered tobacco, unrefined sugar and potash. A Famous Bell.

Four persons were killed outright and about twenty badly injured, some of whom it is believed will die, when a motorcycle speeding at ninety-two miles an hour around the motordrome in Newark, N. J., got beyond the control of the driver and crashed into the bleachers. The driver of the motorcycle, Eddie Hasha, twenty-one years old, of Waco, Texas, was instantly killed when the machine struck a huge plank. John Albright, another rider, is dead. The others killed were seated in the bleachers and had no chance to get out of the way of the machine. Two of these were boys in knickerbockers and the other was a man. The twenty injured, all of them men and boys, some of them unconscious, were hurried away to the City hospital, all of them badly injured. Hasha's wife saw the accident to her husband and she falted as she saw the machine go up the perpendicular track directly in front of the bleachers and drive up against the plank. Hasha was hurled against the plank and nearly every bone in his body was broken. The machine, free of its rider, then bounded back to the track and struck John Albright, of Denver, Colo., another rider in the race, and hurled him from his machine. He was rendered unconscious and died in the hospital. Mrs. Albright, with her two children, who were seated in the grandstand, close by the scene of the accident, became hysterical as her husband was hurled from his machine and was one of the first persons to reach him after the spill. She remained with him all the time and rode in the auto ambulance with him to the City hospital. The accident created a panic among the spectators.at the track, and in the mad rush to get out of the way of the cycle hundreds of men and women trampled over each other. Many of them were badly bruised and cut, but none of them was seriously injured. The race, the last of the day's schedule, was a four-mile free-for-all, in which six contestants started. They were Eddie Hasha, Ray Szymour, of Los Angeles, Cal., who were on scratch; John Albright, of Denver, Colo.; Ray Peck, of Los Angeles, Cal., who had a quarter of a mile handicap; John King, of Newark, and his brother, Frank King, of Denver, Colo., who had a half mile handicap. The accident occurred on the second lap of the race. Seymour and Hasha were going neck and neck as they turned into the stretch. As they approached the bleachers Seymour forged ahead of his opponent. Suddenly Hasha's machine was seen to shoot up the side of the almost perpendicular track. At the end of this part of the track, directly in front of the bleachers, there are three perpendicular boards and then three feet of wire netting, intended to prevent any of the ridges from riding into the crowd in the bleachers. Over these the flying cycle sped, with Hasha still in the seat. As the machine went over the wire netting it struck the big plank overhanging from the bleachers, and Hasha was hurled against it headfirst and killed instantly. The body of the rider was hurled into the mob of spectators, who had been unable to get out of the way, killing three of them outright and injuring about twenty others. The machine, after striking the plank, bounded back upon the track just as Albright came flying along on his machine. He was traveling so fast that he was unable to get out of its way and he crashed into it and was hurled out upon the road. He landed in a heap and slid along the track for several yards and lay there unconscious. The red flag was used against the other riders, and they slowed down as soon as possible and left the track, the race remaining unfinished. The spectators became panicky and were running around wildly for several minutes afterwards. PICKET KILLS IN COAL WAR Trooper Shoots Assailant Who Fired on Him From Ambush. Artificer George Long, Company B, shot and killed one of the attacking party while on picket duty near Sharon, W. V., in the Kanawha coal field. It is the first fatal shooting since martial law was declared by Governor Glasscock in the strike region. Long was on sentry duty near a wood and had been fired on a number of times from ambush. He noted the spot from which the bullets appeared to come and fired, killing one of the attacking party. Canoe Upsets; Two Drown. Canoe Upsets; Two Drown. Mrs. Grace Grafton and Mrs. Kate Morning were drowned when a canoe upset, in the Allegheny river near Freeport, Pa. The German police have a consuming curiosity about the visitor. They are polite, but the curiosity must be satisfied, and it covers well high every point upon which information can be given, says Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick in "Home Life in Germany." Before you have been in Germany a fortnight the police expect to know all about you. You have to give them your father's Christian and surname and tell them how he earned his living and where he was born; also your mother's Christian and malden name and where she was born. You must declare your religion and if you are married give your husband's Christian and surname; also where he was born and what he does for a living. If you happen to do anything yourself, though, you need not mention it. They do not expect a woman to be anything further than married or single. But you must say when and where you were last in Germany and how often you have been and why you have come now and what you are doing and how long you propose to stay. Emergency Gas Pliers If at any time you need a pair of gas pilers, perhaps to take off a gas tip that is not working well, and you, have none at hand you can always make a pair that will do the work for the moment, although they might not be just the thing for a gas fitter. Take a large pair of scissors, and you will find that where the handles join the blades they usually open out into a sort of oval. By putting a piece of sandpaper or anything rough round the base of the gas burner you can place this open part of the handle of the scissors round it and then press the blades of the scissors together so as to get leverage enough to twist the burner loose. There are many little light jobs that can be done with a pair of pilers made out of a pair of scissors if you are careful to have something between the handle and the object so as to prevent the scissors from slipping off.—New York Sun. The Baby and the Junk Scaler When a son was born to the head of a certain family in an Ohio town the proud father rushed out of the house to borrow a pair of scales. Just as he dashed out of the gateway he ran into a junk dealer, who was calling out at the top of his lungs: "Any rags, any bottles, any" "Look here!" exclaimed the excited parent. "Come into the house! I want you to weigh something for me." The man did as requested. The plink mite was tied up in a towel and hooked on to the scales. "Six pounds!" cried the nurse. "Six pounds!" repeated the disap- pointed father. The junkman smiled. "Don't let this worry you, my friend," said he. "Them is the scales I buys by. I guess the kid weighs ten pounds, maybe a little over that."—Detroit Free Press. His Plea.

Power of a Song. A pleasant incident happened at the Crystal palace in London when Mime Albani was once singing the "French Partridge." As soon as the concert was over one of the audience, a gentleman well known as a good shot and keen sportsman, called upon Mme. Albani and said, "Madam, I am sorry to say that I have shot many a little 'red leg' in my time, but after hearing you sing that song I will never kill another," a delicate compliment to a great singer—and to a song.

[Name not visible] RUSHING ANTHRACITE COAL TO MARKET All Records Being Broken in Schuylkill Region. Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 9.—Never before in the history of the anthracite coal shipping trade in this region has there been the boom that is now being experienced from the scene of production, through the various railroad branches to the main line, which carries the coal to tidewater points. All the Schuylkill departments of the various coal corporations are working record time. There is a demand for men, and daily there are hired at the Palo Alto dispatcher's offices of the Reading from twenty-five to fifty men for duty in the coal train service. The new Mahanoy Plane, by holsting from 500 to 700 cars of coal daily, has thus far avoided a stagnation of the traffic from the mines in the central shipping points. The new $1,000,000 yard between St. Clair and Mill Creek is now receiving its first severe test since it was opened for traffic. The Reading officials expect no let up in this coal boom, as well at the mines as on the rail, for at least two months, and full producing capacity will be exacted of the collieries and washeries all winter. FAMILY TOSSED IN AUTO Five In Car Struck by Engine and Two May Die. Two members of the family of Harry A. Mengel, a telegraph operator at Pawling, Pa., are near death in a hospital in Phoenixville, and the three others are seriously injured as the result of a collision between an automobile and a locomotive at Perklen Junction, near Phoenixville, Pa. The five persons injured form the entire family of Mengel, and were on their way to visit Mrs. Mengel's parents. The injured are: Harry A. Mengel, hurt internally and badly lacerated; Mrs. Eva Mengel, probably fatally injured internally, head cut and injury to spine; May Mengel, six years old, left thigh broken, head cut and concussion of the brain; Vita Mengel, aged four, left leg broken, cut and bruised; Viola Mengel, aged three; general contusions and concussion of the brain. The road to the home of Mengel's father-in-law, George Brown, is not frequently traveled and the clear view of the northbound track of the Reading railway is obscured by the station structure. As Mengel approached, two locomotives, running light, came along, northbound. Two railroaders saw the car start across the tracks. They shouted a warning, but Mengel had no time to heed it. He turned the automobile slightly as if endeavoring to avoid the collision, but the whole machine was over the rails when the leading locomotive struck the ill-fated party. The automobile was pushed along the tracks for 200 feet and then was hurled against a telegraph pole as it turned turtle. Mrs. Mengel and two of her daughters were occupying the rear seat and were thrown into an adjoining field. The other little girl fell along the rails, and the father, held in by the steering wheel, remained in the car until it overturred. He was the least injured. Killed by Fall Down Stairs. Making a misstep in the dark, John Ruth, of Philadelphia, who is employed in the auditing department of the Pennsylvania railroad in that city, plunged down a flight of stairs at his sister's home in Baltimore, Md., and suffered injuries from which he died half an hour later. Loses Hand In Bread Mixer. Wiping off the paddles in a rapidly moving bread miler, Leopold Behrenhausen, employed as a baker by Philip Wagner in Coatesville, Pa., lost his right hand at the wrist. March of the Dining Hour. The hour of dining has advanced with the centuries. Froissart mentions waiting on the Duke of Lancaster at 5 in the afternoon after he had supped and was about to go to bed, and the preface of the Heptameron shows that the queen of Navarre dined at 10 o'clock in the morning. From the Northumberland Household Book, dated 1512, we learn that the ducal family rose, at 6, breakfasted at 7, dined at 10, supped at 4 and refried for the night at 9. Louis XIV. did not dine till 12, while his contemporaries, Cromwell and Charles II., took the meal at 1. In 1700 the hour was advanced to 2, in 1751 we find the Duchess of Somerset dining at 3, and in 1700 Cowper speaks of 4 o'clock as the fashionable time. After the battle of Waterloo the dinner hour was altered to 6, from which time it has advanced by half hour stages to 8. So that in 400 years the dinner hour had gradually moved through at least ten hours of the day—London Spectator. Painting Turkays' Legs Among the many trades which exist, but which are not as a rule filled up in the census papers, are the "fakers" of all kinds, from the manufacturer of antique furniture and brasses to the bird fancier who can pass a sparrow as a canary. Perhaps the most curious form of "faking" is that which deals with turkeys, dead or alive, and which is principally practiced in France. The age of a turkey is told chiefly by its legs and beak. These are filed and treated with a special varnish by the "faker" two or three times a week before the bird is to be sold. It will then, to all appearance, have renewed its youth, and its owner is able to obtain a much higher price. The freshness of the dead birds is also largely told by the color of the legs, and for this, too a varnish is used. The varnish was the discovery of a Frenchman, Pere Chapellier, who seems to have been a really remarkable man, as he had many frons in the fire and died worth a considerable sum.-London Telegraph. The First Mountaineer A Munich paper has been searching the records of history to discover who were the first mountain climbers. It gives the palm to Moses for his ascent of Mount Sinai and rules out Noah for his ascent of Mount Ararat because he made it in a boat. There is sufficient evidence to show that the ancients thought mountain climbing sheer madness. No one in the time of Horace or Polyblus wanted to go climbing for a summer holiday. A Chinese emperor in the seventh century was the first to make climbing fashionable in the east, but the first true tourists in Europe seem to have been Dante, Petrarch and Leonard. Then came the Emperor Maximilian I, who used to hunt in the mountains near Innsbruck, and after him Conrad von Gesner and Joslas Simler explored the Swiss mountains. But climbing for pleasure such as we know it today was not thought of until quite recently. Hardworking Dollar "I noticed a statement in an eastern paper the other day that has disquieted me a good deal," said a Cleveland man recently. "The item called to my attention the fact that it takes a dollar at the usual rate of interest more than two years to earn a dime. You can see the effect. Every time I spend a dime I think of that tolling dollar spinning away in the dark somewhere. The dime I spend means more than two years of steady application, and yet I let it go as if it were of too small value to be at all considered. Why, it takes a dollar more than a year to earn 5 cents! Think of that when you slip the next nickel across. It really makes me feel uncomfortable. I wish I hadn't read the stupid thing"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Subsidence of the Bermudes. It is contended that the Bermuda islands are merely the remnant of an island, very much larger than the present entire group, which has sunk into the ocean. The original island, it is asserted, had an area of 300 or 400 square miles, whereas the Bermudas of today are only about twenty square miles in area. Within a comparatively recent period, according to Verrill, the Bermudas have subsided at least 50 or 100 feet. Their base is the summit of an ancient volcano, while their surface is composed of shell sand drifted into hills by the wind and consolidated by infiltration.-Harper's.

With 5000 horses already dead, the funeral fires at night setting the sky of western Kansas aglow, and the disease spreading to cattle of the twenty-six counties so far affected, Governor Stubbs wired again to President Taft, begging for immediate help. The governor's message was: "Our repeated requests upon the department of agriculture for assistance in combating disease among horses in this state seems to have been received with unpardonable neglect or indifference to the situation. Those in charge have answered our calls for help by insisting that the trouble is local and of no consequence, when more than 5000 horses have died an area that has increased from eight to twenty six counties. They hold to a theory that has been exploded for more than two weeks. It is my belief that the devastating disease will cover the entire state and extend into other states before it can be stopped, unless the department at Washington wakes up. I want you to know of its inefficiency in this crisis." This action was taken following a telegram from the bureau of animal industry at Washington, stating that the bureau had information the disease was entirely a local matter and that the government would not give assistance. Hutchinson and other Kansas towns report that sulphur, linseed oil and other medicines used by the farmers have been used up, and wholesale lots are being rushed westward by express. Farmers' work animals are dropping in the fields dead; neighbors turning to help the victims only see their own horses die. Great Bend, Kan., reports that chickens, too, are dying. Experts differ as to the cause. Mouldy feed is blamed. Governor Stubbs wired 100 towns and twenty state agricultural colleges. Of the towns he asked that only well water be given horses. "The agricultural college bacteriologists have found diplocci in the blood of some of the dead horses," sald Dr. Crumbline. "A certain variety of diplocci causes spinal-meningitis in the humans. We are going to find if the diplocci found in the horses is the same as that which causes meningitis in children. If it is, there is great danger to the citizens of Kansas, and we want to stop the disease spreading to the people. I received a report from Jetmore that a man who had been working with dead horses for some time was suddenly stricken with a disease, the symptoms of which are similar to meningitis. We will go direct to visit this case and then make a thorough study of the disease to see if it might be communicated to persons." In some of the towns residents are in a panic for fear the disease will be communicated to them. Great Bend says chickens are dying by the dozens from the mysterious cause and it is believed the scourge is to blame. SAYS IT IS FORAGE DISEASE Is Not Contagious Among Horses and Cannot Be Cured. Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the division of pathology of the bureau of animal industry in Washington, under whose direction an investigation of the mysterious disease reported to have caused the death of 5000 horses in Kansas is being made, said: "The disease is known as forage poisoning, due to a species of mould which sometimes appears on hay and grain and, on grass which has been parched by summer droughts. It is not contagious among horses r-d cannot be communicated to man by an infected horse. It is peculiar to horses." Dr. Mohler said that fear of human beings becoming infected with the disease aroused by the discovery of the germ, diplococci, in the blood of a horse which died from the disease, is groundless. Varieties of this germ, he said, are often found in the blood of horses and even in water. This variety does not cause spinal-meningitis in man, however. The disease, which is generally fatal to horses, he said, had often been the subject of investigation by the department in the past. No cure had ever been discovered for it. "The only method of treatment we advise," said Dr. Kohler, "is the removal of the stock to feeding lots of green alfalfa or other greed feed. It is like cancer in man; as far as science has been able to discover, it is incurable. On the other hand, it is not infectious." Threatened Girl: Man Is Killed. Warner Tomblin was shot-and killed while he was resisting arrest in Cralgsville, Va., for threatening to kill a girl for refusing to marry him. Tomblin boarded with a Mrs. Hicks, who is said to have promised her daughter in marriage when the girl became fifteen years old. When she reached that age a few days ago Miss Hicks refused to marry him. Funny Peasant Notions. The astronomical lore of the Russian peasanty of the north, center and south of the empire is limited to a knowledge of the existence of the sun and the moon and stars, of three constellations, of the Milky way, of one planet, of comets, shooting stars and meteors. The sun is to all a mysterious and beneficent being. The moon, covered with ice and snow, is ever in flight from its brother, the sun. Upon its disk is portrayed the murder of Abel by Caln, the latter being done to death with a pitchfork. The lunar rays are malignant, and evil, comes to those who sleep unprotected from them. The horns of the moon afford information as to the weather. The stars are lamps or candles lighted and extinguished by the Eternal. A shooting star is the soul of one just passed away. Comets are heralds of war and famine. No Russian ever forgets that the Napoleonic war followed the great comet of 1811.—Ex change. What Makes a Nation. I believe there is no permanent greatness to a nation except it be based upon morality. I do not care for military greatness or military renown. I care for the condition of the people among whom I live. Crowns, coronets, miters, military display, the pomp of war, wide colonies and a huge empire are, in my view, all trifles, light as air and not worth considering unless with them you can have a fair share of comfort, contentment and happiness among the great body of the people. Palaces, baronial castles, great halls, stately mansions, do not make a nation. The nation in every country dwells in the cottage, and unless the light of your constitution can shine there, unless the beauty of your legislation and the excellence of your statesmanship are impressed there on the feelings and condition of the people, rely upon it you have yet to learn the duties of government.—John Bright. A Formidable Feast. Wentworth Woodhouse has long been famed for its hospitality. On Jan. 7, 1732. Richard Wardman, the steward of Wentworth Woodhouse, writes that "My lord is to have a great diner for all his tenents and some other of his loving gentlemen, that is parsons and dokters and pothecarys, and none is to be admitted but what has ticktits. I am told they have killed 18 Does, Barons and Spondopes. His lordship has got a man to make him three Hunderd duzon of wooden trenchers; he finds him wood, and the man makes them, and when the day is over he is to have them all for his laboure. His lordship has taken a great deal of palms to make a nice calculation how they ar to sit and dine for it is thought there will be about S Hunderd men that day—and a great piece of folly I say."—London Chronicle. Ether. Ether was known to the earliest chemists. Nitric ether was discovered by Kunkel in 1681 and muriatic ether, from the chloride of tin, in 1750, by Courtanvaux. Acetic ether was first prepared by Gay-Lussac. The benefit discovery that ether is capable of rendering one insensible to pain is due to Drs. Jackson and Morton, who about the year 1846, introduced it into the practice of surgery. Some claim that as between the two men the honors are about easy. Apart from the blessedness of the discovery of anaesthesia, it is impossible to estimate the value of the discovery to surgery as science. It enables the delicate operation that would otherwise be impossible—New York American. A Point of Law. "Do you see that man over there?" The world famous detective spoke in a low whisper, and his friend looked quickly around, scenting a mystery. "Yes," he replied, just as cautiously. "Well, he's a professional forger."

When slavery held our black ancestors within its cruel and remorseless clutch, black men, themselves slaves, were at times promoted to the dignity of "overseers." With bull whip in hand they walked among the cotton pickers and lashed those who had fallen under the broiling sun from weakness and overwork, with the terocity of wild beasts attacking an enemy. These black "overseers" sought favor and esteem from their masters by an exhibition at times of revolting cruelty. In Northern communities there existed a complacent set of black folks, themselves free from the rigors of bodily slavery and who frowned upon Frederick Douglass and his leonine lieutenants as "dangerous agitators" who "are making it hard for us" as Mr. Douglass relates in his autobiography. When news reached Philadelphia that John Brown had been captured at Harper's Ferry, Mr. Douglass was making an anti-slavery address, and so frightened became his Negro auditors that only one man among them volunteered to escort him to the Camden Ferry. So that we find the black "overseer" in slavery out Heroding Herod in cruelty, the black apologist and coward in free States who would run from a man if he raised the voice of liberty in his presence—so precious were their lives and opportunities as "half men!" Today we find the black Bull Moosite swallowing with avidity and evident relish the dish which Theodore Roosevelt, the master of demagoguery has concocted within his laboratory of panaceas for the "culd brother!" The lineal descendant of the black "over seer" at the South, and the abortive off-shoot of the pinheaded blacks at the North who railed at Douglass and deserted him time and again in his immortal crusade for liberty, these gentlemen now cordially endorse the program of Theodore as if Summer, and Morton, Stevens and Conkling, were so many mountebanks, when they wrote the laws establishing universal civil and political rights within this prejudiced ridden republic. Ninety per cent of black folks live South of the Mason and Dizon's line. They compose the great reservoir of the race within the United States, and whatever their status may be in world eyes must eventually be the status of every member of the race in all other parts of the nation. As black men fall in the South and are emasculated by merciless laws and customs rigidly enforced, so do all of us fall and are correspondingly weakened. And when a ruthless and unscrupulous demagogue appeals to the white South for its votes and without hesitation drives back the black race from participating in his announced plan for the regeneration of mankind—a plan involving "social and industrial justice" and yet not broad enough to embrace the very class which needs them most, the black men who aid and abet him are worse than the black "overseers" of slavery, and are comparable only to one historic name, and that the man who betrayed Jesus, HEART BREAKERS. Not even the oriental countries where long-lashed, dreamy eyes, raven locks and the rich, creamy, pink-touched complexion make harms the abode of the picked of the Orient's wealth of feminine beauty can compete with the beauty of our colored women right here in Washington. We have them in all colors. Here are the golden-haired fair ones whose complexion is as white as the Irish lassies at a Donneybrook fair, with lithe forms that tremble at a touch; dark-haired beauties with sinuey, voluptuous forms and a complexion to make one forget the Castillian beauties of old Madrid; and browns—rich, attractive, tantalizing browns whose features are as perfect as a Venice de Milo; and jet blacks whose delsartan movements and stunning forms make them, for beauty, vie with the fairest blonds or with the bewitching Octoroons. And in each class there is sufficient chic, vivaciousness, and charm of culture to bend any Apollo to his knees at beauty's shrine. Yet look what a long list of bachelors Washington boasts in the presence of all this feminine beauty and feminine grandeur! We have eligible bachelors possessing appearance, brains and material possessions sufficient to endow any young woman with happiness, who simply dally with the affections of the maiden queens of society; who inspire a hope within the breast of one but to be dashed asunder through the quick, temporary inspiration of hope in the breast of another, and another, and so on until all the queens have done the moth stunt of flying into the flame of the candle. These gaw deceivers—these blase bachelors of ours come dangerously close to being 'fittingly termed "heartbreakers," and they recall to many a maid the verse: The moon-gold web of your hair is a mesh that I cannot break. In the shadowy wells of your eyes I stoop Love's thirst to slake; And find the water as bitter as Death's unwelcome cup— Still, slave to your wordless bidding I quaff the bitter up. I see you in form of the waves, and clasp it with passionate hands. Yet ever it vanishes, soundless, and vague as a dream in the sands. Are you too, a dream, Oh Hart-breaker? Shall I greet you some day or some night. THE LEADERS. It is an easy employment to flatter people, but rather a difficult as well as thankless task to tell them the truth about themselves. We have in mind the constant strictures which educated colored men never cease to utter concerning turbulent and revolution ridden Hayti and the Haytians in general. But are we characteristically any better than the Haytians—are we indeed quite as strong as they at certain points? A Negro of great business energy and capacity founded the True Reformers, and during his lifetime it bloomed and blossomed into the most important financial force ever established by race leaders in any part of the world. What happened? You know the story of internal graft, dissensions, dishonesty and finally collapse. Take the great fraternal order of Odd Fellows with its vast membership and material resources. What do you find? In the Journal of the Order of last week is set forth an internal condition of affairs, which, if true, indicates that unless there is an immediate and thoroughgoing house cleaning the end of that organization as at present constituted is clearly within sight. Could Haytians have done worse? What would have become of Hayti under the leader-ship of the men responsible for the conditions we cite? It is futile to say that the leaders of the True Reformers, and of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are not the "best" type of Negro leadership—that is exactly what they are, measured by training, opportunity and experience. They are group leaders distinguished in professional and political activities, and yet not one whit are they superior in organized achievement to the Haytian Negro. There are other evidences which we could multiply in this direction, but hesitate to do so less some of our friends might think that we are laboring under an especial grievance. We merely wish to declare that as between the Haytian and American Negro it is a "toss up." We are not discussing the masses —merely the "leaders." HOPING FOR HOWARD. The Bee entertains the hope that this college year, the approach of whose beginning is so near, will prove the best Howard University has ever experienced in all her history. We entertain this hope not alone for the past glory of that institution, but for the reason that it will attract, in the future, large numbers of our colored young men and women who would seek a higher education in this city, where educational and research advantages are necessarily the best. However, we are not blind to the fact that perhaps in no year of Howard's existence has successful administration appeared so doubtful as this year. The doubt is due to the fact that conditions do not, in our opinion, and in the opinion of many, measure up to the requirements and to what is expected of the greatest colored institution of higher education in this or any other country. The new president-elect was for twenty-five years pastor of a white congregation in this city. Ten years have elapsed since he relinquished his twenty-five years of pastorate in this city, and those ten years have not been characterized by accomplishments sufficient to make him a world-heater, or even a city-noticed, factor either in church or educational field work. To select for an important executive position a man whose future is all in retrospect, as a rule, fails to inspire the hope of success for any institution, of whatever air or-kind, and more especially is this true of a growing educational institution that requires the red blood of manhood nearing or at its prime to evolve and follow new and progressive methods, rather than the thin, decadent blood of age that clings to archaic methods of the past. Thus it will be seen that Howard is about to enter upon a doubtful year. The success of Howard this year must necessarily depend upon the energy of her splendid, but thus handicapped, faculty, and not upon her executive head. We, however, wish the institution the fullest mead of success. We hope for a year of brilliant accomplishments. Race pride, race love, dictates this hope. This institution will wish for a Thirkield. WILBERFORCE'S GAIN. Prof. Decatur has resigned from the faculty of Howard University to accept a place in the faculty of Wilberforce University. His loss to Howard is almost an irreparable one, and his gain to Wilberforce a most gratifying one to the institution. The rediculous low salaries paid professors at Howard, and the discouragement given professors at that institution by reserving for mediocre white men the highest position, rather than making it one to which a splendidly equipped colored educator may aspire. induced Prof. Decatur to cast his fortunes with Wilberforce. We congratulate Wilberforce on securing such a splendid type of a man, such an able, modest, earnest and conscientious educator. And we deplore his loss to Howard and to this community. He goes' to a colored institution where at least it can be said the lowest and the highest positions are open to colored educators, and he goes at an increased salary over what he had been receiving at Howard. The Ree wishes him great success in his new field of endeavor. He is sure to make good, for the reason that there is naught but good in him. There is a rumor of another resignation. This time a lady. WHO IS HE. If the colored citizens of Fairmount Heights have any sense at all, they will see that Henry V. Plummer is given his place among those Negroes at the head of Anacostia, beginning at the first and ending at the last gate of St. Elizabeth. Plummer, from what the report states, will address a Bull Moose meeting at Seat Pleasant. If the colored citizens don't know who Plummer is, The Bee will enlighten them. SPECIAL SERMONS. The special sermons preached by Rev. S. L. Corrothes, at the Galbraith Church, are drawing large crowds. He is dealing with present existing conditions of Church and State and applying the Bible. There is no stronger pulpit orator in this country than Dr. Corrothers. The people should go and hear him. REMOVE TRAITORS. Chairman Hilles, of the National Committee, has called his entire membership together for the "purpose of removing traitors." Let no traitor be in our ranks. In this fight we shall either win with friends or we shall destroy traitors. MAINE Now that the loyal supporters of the administration have captured Maine, let us forge onward to the finish in November. It is not written that any traitor or sesessionist shall rule the rep. the duty of every true up hold this republic Double dealing in anything will often bring man or woman to destruction or an untimely end. Some people call it diplomacy. If such action is diplomacy, then it is nothing more than deception. President Grant's success was fidelity to his friends. An honest man or woman will never make a promise that he or she doesn't intend to keep. The advice of The Bee is beware of the day of retribution. Public Printer Donnelly is one among the few stalwart Republicans who believes in a square deal for everybody. Colored Americans have and are faring well under his administration. The Negro is waiting for an invitation to participate. There is a delightful bit of gossip current in society which connects the name of the handsome and cultured Lieut. Thos. H. R. Clarke, with a bit of feminine sweetness What's the date, Lieutenant? President Taft's notification speech was confined exclusively to economic questions. He referred to nothing else. How Grant Lucas, who was present by a fluke, figured out anything different. The Lee is unable to say. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, is back at his desk after a trip to Chicago and his home, Nashville, Tenn. It is doubtless true that the very able register mixed politics with business, and boosted Taft stock up. Wm. H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, is being literally deluged with requests to speak in every part of the country. Since his victory in the American Bar Association, the number of requests have increased. When the campaign is fairly on Mr. Lewis' time will be taxed to the limit. Prof. Layton's wife, so the daily press informs us, announces that she is going on the stump to speak for Roosevelt. We cannot figure out how Mrs. Layton can help Roosevelt in the smallest degree. We can, however, figure out how she can injure her husband's weeds hold on his position in the public schools here. A Side Show. (From the N. Y. Tribute.) Except as a movement of malicious mischief the third term party has no excuse for being, in view of the vote in Vermont. It comes out a rather poor third from a campaign which offered it every opportunity to demonstrate that the majority of Republicans were in sympathy with its platform and candidate. Mr Roosevelt carried one of the two Congress districts for delegates to the Republican National Convention. He made a resourceful campaign against Mr. Fletcher, the Republican candidate for Governor, who appears to have been personally unpopular and to have run behind his Republican associates on the ticket. He played upon the feeling of the farmers against Canadian reciprocity with a characteristically audacious reversal of his own record and disavowal of his heretofore most solemnly proclaimed convictions. And he secured for his ticket some 15,000 votes, as against some 20,000 votes east for Mr Fletcher, though his supporters had declared themselves sure of 20,000 votes. He took, as everybody knew he would do, a large following from the Republicans, but he was unable to draw that substantial support from the Democrats without which his candidacy is hopeless. Mr. Roosevelt and his followers profess to be as earnest in their opposition to Mr. Wilson as to Mr. Taft. Certainly the great majority of voters who could possibly be attracted to the third term party through oldtime admiration of Mr. Roosevelt as a Republican leader and President, or through enthusiasm for experiments in achieving "social justice" are Republicans, rather than Democrats. As between Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson they would choose Mr. Taft. Yet the Vermont result shows beyond doubt that the third term party, instead of being a potentially successful movement, is nothing but a Democratic side show. Mr. Roosevelt may thunder against Mr. Wilson and Mr. Wilson may debate, but they are working toward the same end. Mr. Roosevelt cannot climb into a third term on a minority disaffection from his old party, and he is clearly not getting much of anything else to climb on. He may do what another ex-President, Martin Van Buren, did in 1848-defeat the party which has honored him when it fails further to promote his ambition. He is today Mr. Wilson's chief campaigner, and after the Vermont showing, that is all he can hope to be. A Bargain.

PublicMen And Things PublicMen And Things I notice that the census figures show there were 32,952 mulattoes in Washington in 1910 against 19,836 in 1900, a gain of 13,116. Now I've been trying to figure out where all these "yaller kids" came from. I figured that when Dancy was succeeded by Link Johnson, and Vernon by Napier, the change showed no gains for the "yaller buds" and no less for the black phalans. But they tell me that Dancy, who considers himself a ripe gooseberry brown, recorded himself as a mulatto, and that Vernon followed the pace set by Dancy, and this really made a gain of two for the "yaller buds." There were a whole lot of ebony sons of Ham who put themselves down as mulattoes, and not a few light colored dinges who put them elves down as white. Now I can't figure out why any man should be ashamed of his color. The "yaller buds" are not the genuine article. They are the adulterated kind, and you know the pure food laws put a ban on adulterated stuffs. The blacks are the real thing—sane as Ivory Soap, 99 and 99-100 per cent pure. All the coconut brown's signed up with the yaller buds, that's why the 1910 census shows such a mulatto gain. And a lot of Chinese-complexion Negroes signed up as white I bet a lobster supper against a deviled crab that if all the real ebonyites had properly signed up as blacks, and all the cross-grained "yallers" had signed up as mulattoes the census figures would show a much bigger Negro population, and a number of alleged mulattoes would be cut in half. In several instances, of which I know, hubbies with 100 Fahrenheit complexion "ot" them elves down as mulattoes, while in each case "the wife of my youth," who had a complexion only near white enough to be real mulatto "ot," herself down as white. In such cases hubbies didn't want to get too far away from their wives, and the wives were trying to get as far away as possible from some old "black mamme" who was her grandmother. Now a 100 Fahrenheit complexion is one that's been in the sun long enough to mark time with a dark brown, and a dark brown has such a faint line between it and black that here's no difference in negro-ology. If one of these mulatto freaked-complexioned individuals should happen to drop down in the Ebbet House cafe and order a table de hote dinner he'd find out pretty quick that he was registered as a Negro and a Negro is a Negro—that's all. Kelly Miller is as useful as Cy Adams even if he is in the 100 Fahrenheit class. Most any half-witted guy will admit this for argument. And Arthur Gray is just as much of a man as Bob Harlan. Both of these Fahrenheit brunettes are the best known, the most popular and the most useful around these diggings at least. Neither ever tried to desert his colors. Just because your color is on the border land of interior Ethiopia it don't interfere with your brain cells or deny you a seat at the table of respectability. And just because your color is dead ringer for the stuff that covers Pike's Peak the year round isn't no order to the band to strike up "Hail-to the Chief." Color don't make the mar any more than clothes makes the man. Some clothes suggest a fool inside of them, and sometimes color suggests the dampholm beneath it, both when it's a high moon pale and when it's a Tousaint L'Overture one A M. black Never try to desert your color. Stick to it till the clouds roll by. A man's a man white or black, for all of that. I got in touch with the New England dancing masters this week, and they tipped off to me what dances will get a notice from the Black Hand Society this winter. The "bunny hug" "turkey trot" "grizzly bear" and "Gaby glide" won't go in pink tea circles this season. I thought I had better get this information early, so I could tip it off to several of our well-known near-dancers before the social season opens. As "trotters" some of them could command more money than Claude Spreckle made out of sugar. A few can do the "hear" in a style to give old brains the distemper, and two or three have a cross between a "bunny hug" and a "turkey trot" sufficient to make all the has-beens raise themselves to a living perpendicular and begin life over again on the dead level. Before the Monicans start their fall series of hand-picked assemblies, I hope somebody will start a private dancing school and give some of our automatic dancers about six lessons a week. It's awfully hard on us fellows who can really dance some to have to dance every set just because the ladies dislike to have their gowns and cinderillas tramped on by a few amateurs whose dancing education was sadly neglected in their youth. Now speaking about these freak dances, I have always thought that the waltz, while graceful, was not above suspicious suggestiveness. But when the ordinary graceful waltz has injected into it the "bunny hug," "turkey trot," "grizzly bear," and the "Gaby glide" it's about time for parents to send out a search warrant for their daughters, and hubbies to issue a capias for the return of their honey-bunches. Polite society ain't got no more business to inject these freak dances into a gathering of ladies than to pass around Scotch highballs at the conclusion of each dance. Both will produce the same results. Now there ain't no "bunny" that' s modest enough to "hug" an unsuspecting touch of "sweet simplicity," no "grizzly" pure enough to "hear" its arms around the asp-like waist of a demure maiden, and no "Gaby" morally clean enough to "glide" with your wife. I ain't squeeish about myself, cause I've passed the statute of limitations, but a fellow like me, whose got a sister budding into womanhood, and a little daughter that's nearing the age when some callow youth whose brains can be transmitted on a souvenir card, and whose morals equal the algebraic sign of X, will be asking her for the "next dance," why --- he just naturally has to commit to memory the puritanical code of morals. The "bunny hug," "turkey trot," "grizzly bear," and "sich like" may do all right for the check apron and kimona circles of subterranean society, but when it comes to the virtuous select who have read Omar Khayann, slept on Browning, and worshiped the philosophical denseness of Emerson, why these twentieth century nightmares are very much of color. If you hear of your daughter dancing any of these freak dances, my advice is to pull down your old carbine and go look for the tenderfoot who made the advances. I'm shouting to you dads and mamas. Do you hear me? * , z I observe that my old friend and college chum, J. C. Cunningham, has taken his pen in hand and inflicted another card upon the public. As an itinerant writer, and a wondering Willie boy of a kicker, and a real live jokesmith, Cunningham is a rich bit of excitement at low temperature. But I will not fall out with him. I guess he's got just as much right to dash off a lot of "vacant laugh" stuff as Dick Thompson or myself Cunningham, once in a while, gets off some real plausible perforated English. The only trouble with the twentieth century imitation of Thomas Carlisle is that he is sore because the world has not "reached" down and grabbed him by the neck and hoisted him into a five thousand dollar office. He's very much pessimistic. If he would get rid of his bile, and settle down to the notion that after all this old world picks its fruit pretty careful, and also get next to the fact that a swan only sings when it is dying, he would lay himself down to sleep at night conscious that he isn't the only pebble on the beach. But I like the fellow, at that, and know, at heart, he is all wool and a yard wide WHY VOTE FOR TAFT? "The Republican party is the ship, all else the sea."—Frederick Douglass. Why should the black man vote for Taft? that is the question now. That's stirring up the colored folks, and raising such a row; The Democrats and Bull Moores have stabbed him to the heart. They swear the black man of the South's not worthy to take part: Because they say he's vicious, selfish, thus he is not desired. While murderous Negro hating whites are welcomed and admired: It matters not that scores of them are scheming night and day. To Lynch, jim-crow, and disfranchise, and take our rights away. Why should the black man vote for Taft? some foolish Negroes ask: To answer them is not so hard, his quite an easy task. A voter who has Negro blood coursing through his veins, And yet would give to Democrats the governmental reigns Has either lost his senses or mislead by schemes hold. Is leaning on rich promises, perhaps enticed with gold: For no black man can truly say, "I am a Democrat." Unless he stands for Jim crow laws, no vote and all of that. Why should the black man vote for Taft? sane reason tells you why You should not falter, should not shirk, nor from your colors fly. Because a few Republicans refused your demands. You should not seek unjust revenge, nor lay unholly hands. Upon the powers that stood by you when all was dark as night The G. O. P. has never ignored you in a fight. While Democrats and Bull Moores are hammering you like sin The G. O. P. is on the job to help you, take you in. Why should the black man vote for Taft? O' shade of Douglass, please Stir round among these colored folks, and set their souls at ease: A colored man a Democrat, a disgrace to thy name: A trying to disfranchise himself, ob, Negro! fie! for shame! To dare to strike a traitor's blow against your one true friend To dare outrage the powers on whom your manhood rights depend. Why vote for Taft? why bless your heart it is the only way The black man has no other hope, no other guide or stay.

The funeral of Mrs. Julia, Parker, which was held at the third Baptist Church, 5th and Q streets Northwest, week before last, was in charge of Rev E. B. Gordon, pastor of Walker Memorial Baptist Church, instead of Rev. O. C. Sprague, pastor of the Fairmount Heights M. E. Church as was erroneously stated. The Rev Gordon was assisted by Rev Thompson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Fairmount Heights, Rev O. C. Sprague and others. Owing to the absence of the pastor the services at the M. E. Church were at low tide Sunday September 8.* The grand two hundred dollar rally was launched, and will begin Sunday, September 15, 1912, at 3 o'clock.

An invitation is extended to all pastors, choirs, congregations and friends to attend the services. The First Baptist Church, under the wise pastorate of Rev. A. H. Strother, is progressing nicely. The services which have been going on the past two weeks have accomplished great good. A great majority of those of Baptist faith and many of those of other churches, are supporting him. Rev. Strother deserves much credit because of his faithful service in establishing the Baptist Church here.

Bishop Johnson, secretary of the great National Baptist Association of the United States, has declared for President Taft, and said to a Bee reporter that every Negro in this country ought to take the stump for him.

Anderson Taylor, who some time ago signed a call, with others, against President Taft, has declared to a Bee representative that it was done under a misunderstanding, and he is now for President Taft and will support him. Rev. Taylor is a strong Baptist Attorney John F. Collins, who has always been for the President will take the stump for President Taft and the entire Republican Ticket. Mr. Collins is one of the leading members of the bar. IT IS DANGEROUS. To make promises and not keep them. To lie to those who have served you. To put your enemies before your friends. To make terms with those you once destroyed. To think that you can fool those who know the hour of the day without looking at a time piece. # 1997 The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Fall returns from Tuesday's election in Vermont fal to change the result or materially ‘alter the -tanding of the three leading candidat: : for gov- ernor. 4 With the legislature Republican by a large majority on a joint ballot, the election of Allen M. Fletcher, Repub- lican, and the rest of his ticket sa foregone conclusion. With the settlement of protracted struggles to elect representatives and the counting of the state vote in sev- eral of the smaller towns, the vote of the five candidates for governor stands: . Fletcher, Republican, 26,259. Howe, Democrat, 20,350. Metzger, Progressive, 15,800. ~ Smith, Prohibition, 1443. Sultor, Socialist, 1181. The chief feature, in view of the thorough manner in which the state was covered by rallies in practical; every town, is the fact}that the total vote was not abnormal. It totals les: than 65,000. The Progressives, are elated at the showing made by their ticket and the Democrats assert that it is proved the third party did not detract from thel: strength. It is the regular Republicat vote that has suffered, and the Demo crats point with pride to the ineffect ,ual attempt made to get their voter by the Bull Moose orators. Official Killed by Traln.

On a quiet afternoon the debate will go on in the fading light of day till members can hardly see one another's faces, and then the clerk of the house suddenly realizes that he cannot see the paper under his nose. He looks up and finds the house wrapped in shadows. He touches a bell, a servant comes in and receives the directions for the lights. The light is turned on in the attic above the glass panels with the rendering of the red rose. It arrives in the house like a shower of rain. on a summer night. First a faint tentative stirring, a softening, a sponge in the face, then after that the deluge, and the room below is drenched in a mellow downpour. The dark spaces beneath the gallefles drink it up like a thirsty land. The whole scene is refreshed. Strangers in the house look up into the roof and then they sit up and begin a more intelligent reading of the men and things below. Dropping the English "H." In the days when packet ships ran between New York and London a youthful passenger asked the English mate of the Christiana what there was in the leather tubing around the gunwales of the lifeboats. "Halr, sir," he answered. "Is there anything peculiarly buoyant about hair?" asked the American youth. "If you don't know that you don't know much," replied the mate, with a look of contempt as he moved to another part of the ship. The youth was humiliated and a few days later asked the captain why hair was so buoyant in water. That authority replied that he didn't know that it was and inquired why the youth thought it was so. "Why, sir, your mate told me that there was hair in the tubes of the lifeboats to make them float when cap-sized." STBA NAMED BY PROGRESSIVES Is Nominated For Governor of New York. STAMPEDE IN CONVENTION Delegates Wildly Cheered His Name and He Was Unanimously Nominated. Oscar S. Straus, of New York, President Cleveland's ambassador to Turkey, and President Roosevelt's secretary of commerce and labor, was nominated for governor of New York by acclamation in a stampede of the Progressive state convention at Syracuse. Mr. Straus, as permanent chairman of the convention, was upon the platform at the time the stampede broke loose. It came like a thunderclap to him. The Prendergast and the Hotchkiss forces for five hours had been engaged in an oratorical battle in the effort to bring about the nomination of their favorite. Secretary George B. Manchester had completed the roll of counties in the call, for nominating speeches. Comptroller Prendergast had been formally put in nomination by ex-Assemblyman George A. Green, of Kings. William A. Chadbourne, of New York, had put William H. Hotchkiss in nomination. Hotchkiss immediately took the platform to declare that he was not a candidate and wanted none of the delegates to vote for him. Notwithstanding this his nomination was seconded by two delegates, one of them a woman. John C. Magee, of New York, then took the platform and placed in nomination Oscar S. Straus. Instantly the convention was in an uproar. In a second a stampede was on. Men and women were standing on their seats, waving flags, bandanas, canes, umbrellas, hats and handkerchiefs. The band boomed out with the "Star Spangled Banner" and switched to "Oonward, Christian Soldiers," which the audience, made up of delegates and visitors, about 5000, joined in singing. A march of the standards of the sixty-one counties around the hall followed. Mr Straus, standing at the chairman's table on the platform, became more than usually pale. Yet he smiled and waved his hands in depreciation. He seemed to be dazed. Amid the tumult Mr. Hotchkiss clambered to the platform and without ceremony grasped Chairman Straus' gavel and took command of the convention. Mr. Straus dropped into his seat quite overcome by the scene. Scores of delegates pleaded with Mr. Straus to let the convention have its way. Finally Mr. Hotchkiss announced that Mr. Straus would accept and the tumult broke out anew. When quiet, was restored Mr. Straus was nominated by acclamation. The remaining nominations were quickly made. The full ticket nominated is as follows: For governor—Oscar S. Straus, of New York. For lieutenant governor—Frederick M. Davenport, of Onelida county. For associate judges of the court of appeals—Carlos Calden, of Erle, and George W. Kirchway, of New York. For secretary of state—Homer D. Call, of Onondaga. For state comptroller—General Horatio C. King, of Kings. For attorney general — John Palmeri, of Kings. For state treasurer — Ernest Cawcroft, of Chautauqua. Engineer Fells Train Robber. A lone bandit held up a northbound express train of the Louisville & Nashville railroad near Michaud, twelve miles from New Orleans. He looted the mall car and robbed the occupants of five Pullmans and a club car. Then, just as he was about to leave the tender of the locomotive his skull was fractured by a blow from a brass torch by Bear, the engineer, and he was captured. The bandit was brought to New Orleans and placed in the Charity hospital. He said his name was Howard E. Edwards, and that his family lived in Jupiter, Fla. Edwards first crawled aboard the engine not far from New Orleans and held at bay the engineman and the fireman with two revolvers. He carried a small valise, in which he had dynamite and nitro-glycerine. The train was stopped, and, with the engineman and fireman preceding him Edwards rifled the mall car of all the registered mall. Then he took from the male passengers in five Pullmans and a club car all their valuables. He did not offer to molest the women. He got almost $1000 in cash. Then he marched the engineman and fireman back to the engine and ordered them to proceed. After riding on the engine for about twenty-five miles Baer caught Edwards off his guard and struck him a terrific blow on the head with a brass torch, fracturing the base of the skull. Edwards fired one shot as he fell. It went wild. Baer proceeded to rain blows with the torch until he had the bandit uncoassulous. Nun Burns to Death.

Robert R. Church, Sr., the wealthiest and one of the most progressive colored men of the South, died of heart failure at his residence, 3848 Lauderdale street, Thursday. "Bob" Church has been a conspicuous figure in the affairs of Memphis for many years, and was conservative and of weight in all his acts. He numbered his friends among the white people until it embraced the cotton exchange and merchants exchange and financiers of ability. "Bob" Church was unassuming, and always encouraged courtesy among his race. His wealth is estimated at nearly a million dollars, and his holdings embrace hundreds of houses in Memphis. He was the inaugurator of the Solvent Savings Bank and was its first president, his son, R. R Church, Ir., being his successor When the Confederate reunion was held in Memphis, he was among a few who contributed $1,000 toward entertaining the old veterans. He leaves as his heirs a son, Thomas A Church, who holds a clerkship with the New York City government Another son, R. R. Church, Jr, is now president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, of this city A daughter married R. H. Terrell, formerly a chief clerk in the Navy Department, now a judge of the Municipal Court in the City of Washington. He was married twice. The second marriage was in 1885. The wife of that marriage, together with four children, survive him. DIED IN CHICAGO Cincinnati, I., Sept 6. E. Earl Ward, one of the best known men in Columbus, Ohio, died under peculiar circumstances in this city during the session of the Negro Business League. Mr Ward was a citizen of Columbus, Ohio, and one of the best known and progressive business men in the State. There is no man in Columbus or the State of Ohio who is doing a more prosperous business than he was prior to his death. It is not known whether Mr. Ward committed suicide or whether he died a natural death. Mr. Earl Ward had a large truck business in Columbus, Ohio. He ran from twenty-five to thirty wagons, and he was doing business for the largest and leading firms in the city of Columbus.

We were weeks in catching even one. For more than a year, at odd moments, we tried. Many methods were used—insect nets, birddline, a spray of water, open windows with flowers inside and, finally, a trap. At last! Could it really be? I hardly dared trust my senses. Yes. It was a bumming bird squeak that came from the little bag, and the boy asked if I was the lady who would pay a dollar for a bumming bird. It must be! How had he caught it? Under his cap! How strange! And had it a ruby throat? He wasn't sure. Well, we could find that out. Doors were closed and locked and screens carefully placed in every window. Then the wonderful bag was cautiously opened. Way down in the bottom cropped the dart, funny little bird, with his bright eyes looking us straight in the face and his long bill pointing at a sharp angle from the wee body. Just a baby one. Would he die of fright? He did not attempt to fly out, so we tore open the side of the bag to where he sat, but he did not move. Then, placing my finger gently under his toes and lifting slowly I beheld the jewel upon my band.—Katherine E. Dolbear in Atlantic Monthly. Marshal Suvaroff, when receiving a dispatch from the hands of a Russian sergeant who had greatly distinguished himself on the Danube, attempted to confuse the messenger by a series of whimsical questions, but found him fully equal to the occasion. "How many fish are there in the sea?" asked Suvaroff. "All that are not caught yet," was the answer. "How far is it to the moon?" "Two of your excellency's forced marches." "What would you do if you saw your men giving way in battle?" "I would tell them that there was plenty of whisky behind the enemy's line." Baffled at all points, the marshal ended with "What is the difference between your colonel and myself?" "My colonel cannot make me a lieutenant, but your excellency has only to say the word." "I say it now," answered Suvaroff. "and a right good officer you will be." A French Verdict. A sting hunted through the forest of Fontainebleau took refuge in the garden of a certain Mme. Brouillot. The lady's son refused to give the animal up unless paid the sum of 100 francs compensation for the damage it had done, but his request was indignantly refused by M. Lebundy, the master of the hounds, who declined to accept any responsibility. "Very well," said the young man, coolly; "then we will keep the stag." He did so, and they killed and ate the animal. The master of the hounds brought action for heavy damages. Mme. Brouillot counterclaimed. The jury, with perfect gravity and due solemnity, ordered each side to pay the other 80 francs damages! So much for a French jury.—London Mail. The Earth as Seen From the Moon. From that surface of the moon which we see the earth is always visible, clearly marked with clouds, continents, oceans and polar snows, says Popular Science. The earth forms a huge luminary, passing through phases, just like those of our moon, from new to full, and then again to new, but the outline of her globe is always marked by a ring of brilliant light—namely, the light of the stars behind her, diffused and shining in her atmosphere. Yet, to the dweller on the moon, neither the incomparable splendor of the sun nor that great flood of earth shine can vell the eternal glitter of the constellations in heavens black with a darkness of which our blackest night can give no true idea. The Pandects of Justinian. The pandects of Justinian, the most complete body of Roman laws ever collected, were supposed to be lost, but in 1187, when Amalfi was taken and plundered by the Pisans, a private soldier found a copy, which he sold to an officer for a few pence. The value of the discovery was soon apparent, and the precious volume was taken to Pisa and stored in the city library. When Pisa was stormed by the Florentines in 1415 the previous volume was captured and taken to Florence, where it was placed in the library of the Medici. -London Graphic. --- Mau's Debt to Woman A man even the best, always thinks that he can repay everything to a woman by making her his wife, whereas he is only incurring new obligations without paying off the old.

The story is told in Joubert's "Popular Errors Concerning Medicine," published in Bordeaux, France, in 1579, that one Gonelle, a jester at the court of the Duke of Ferrarn, insisted once upon a time that the trade which had the most followers was that of doctor. To prove his assertion he left his home one morning to go to the palace with his nightcap on and his jaws wrapped up. The first person he met stopped him with the question, "What is the matter with you, Gonelle?" "A terrible toothache." "Oh, is that all? I tell you what will cure it." And every person he met had some advice to give him. When the jester reached the duke's chamber the same question and answer were repeated. "Ah," said the prince. "I know of something that will take the pain right away." Gonelle instantly threw up his kerchief, saying: "And you, too, monselmeur, are a doctor? I have only passed through one street in coming from my house to you and have counted more than 200 of them. I believe I could find 10,000 in the city." The Golden Yam: The golden yam, that elaborates the sun and the soil into a sugar which makes saccharine seem sour, was set apart by our first parents as the overlord of all the tubers. The history of its Irish rival may be definitely traced to the foster care of Raleigh. It spread into Lancashire. Its path through the Low Countries may be followed as clearly as the march of the army worm. But the genealogy of the yam is lost in the morning mists of antiquity. It is supposed to be identical with the mandrake, for which the orient peoples dug as for hidden treasure. Beyond all per-adventure it was the yam to which the Spanish gave what afterward became the generic name "batata," modified into our own collective "potato." Its purple flowers were hailed as the harbingers of nature's richest largesse, while Humboldt was still doubting whether nature originally had anything to do with the creation of the Irish potato.—Washington Post. His Daily Square Meal. The eccentric Dr. Fordyce, a well known professor of chemistry of the eighteenth century, believed that man required only one meal a day, and for twenty years he practiced what he preached. At four he would present himself at Dolly's chophouse, in Paternoster row, and immediately upon his arrival the cook would place a pound and a half of rump steak upon the gridiron. While it was cooking the doctor would amuse himself with some such trifle as half a broiled capon or a plate of fish, and a glass or two of brandy. Then came the steak, with a full accompaniment of bread and potatoes and a quart tankard of strong ale. This was followed by a bottle of old port, after which he would stroll to his rooms in Essex street, where he met his class and gave lectures on chemistry.-London Chronicle. An Impressive Sight On his return from his first trip in the United States recently a German physician was asked which one of the sights had made the greatest impression on him. He said: "I saw Niagara falls and on my return to New York came through the picturesque Adirondack region. It was all majestically beautiful, but to a certain extent I was prepared for what I saw. But in a little mountain hamlet, where my friends took me to a Wild West show, I saw an Indian in feathers and war paint drinking beer out of a bottle and holding in his hand a piece of your American pie, which he devoured between gulps. It was a picture so unlike the one I had formed of the Indian that I think it made the greatest impression." New York Tribune. One Eyed Giants. Sir John Mandeville saw all sorts of queer things and wrote about them in his celebrated books of travels. It was in 1530 that the veracious Sir John visited a certain group of isles (Yles he called them) which was inhabited by a race of one eyed giants. Of them he says: "In one of these yles ben folk of grate stature, as giantes, and they ben bloudcous for to loke upon. An thel han but on eye, and that is in ye middlyd of ye front." He also tells of another one of these "yles" inhabited by a race of one legged dwarfs, each having three eyes. An Implosion. An implosion, as the term indicates, a bursting outward, a sudden collapse, is the direct opposite of an explosion. The conditions most favorable for the production of an implosion exist at great depth in the implosion. At 2.500 fathms the pressure is, roughly speaking, about two and a half tons to the square inch, a pressure that is several times greater than that exerted by steam upon the piston of a powerful engine. What Is the Use?
