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 Congressional Library VOL. XXXIII NO 16 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 1912 THE Y. M. P. LEAGUE A Smoker to Which Many Were Present—Ovation to Editor Chase. President Lewis' Speech—Chairman Boston Complimented. The smoker on the Young Men's Protective League, at Old Fellows' Hall, Georgetown, D.C., last Friday evening, was a compliment to that organization, and Chairman Arthur F. Boston, who never fails to make life happy for his fellowman. It was an enjoyable affair. The arrangement of the program and the timely and witty introductions by Toastmaster Mr. Charles F. M. Brown, added life and vigor to the occasion. Mr. Brown is an interesting and genial associate, and a young man very popular among his associate. Everything was nicely arranged, and President Aldridge Lewis, who never fails to make happy and those around him enjoyable, was the central figure with National Committeeman Boston closely behind and near him. Arthur Boston arranged the entire affair, and he and his working committee had everything to appeal to the inner man. The master of ceremonies, Charles F. M. Brown, carried out the following program: List of Speeches. The President, A. T. Lewis, "The President an important factor in the growth and development of the League." The Treasurer, D. Freeman.

Smith, the secretary. He is a most practical and competent officer Mr. Smith said in part: Officers, Members of the Young Men's Protective League, and our distinguished invited guest, W. Calvin Chase: It affords me the greatest pleasure to be in your presence this evening to say a few words. The subject which was selected for me by our esteemed ex-President, C. F. M. Browne, is op- portune in that it gives me a chance, I hope, to present to you a few interesting facts. In the first place it is necessary to have a system to intelligently accomplish any complex purpose without chaos, and that system should be as simple and comprehensive as possible. In the keeping of records there should be the greatest care taken in recording, briefing, numbering and filing, in order when there is occasion to make a reference it can be done with dispatch and accuracy. There is a maxim which says, "Papers are not human; they should be filled in the right place in order to be found in the right place." History is the recording of events which occur from day to day, month by month and year after year in chronological order. There are several different kinds of history, but the only two which I care to bring to your attention this evening is Good and Bad History. All of you present here tonight are making history. Making history which shall be handed down to your posterity to read and ponder over. The question arises: "What kind of history are you making: is it Good or Bad history?" Will that little girl of today who is the woman of tomorrow be able to smile in admiration as she reads? Will that youngster of today who is the man of tomorrow be able to read and hold his head aloft with pride in honor of the acts and achievements of you who are here? It behooves each and every member of this organization to see to it that the record be kept clean that your historian, who is your secretary, will have nothing to record other than what is good, wholesome and pure; for in carrying out such a purpose the life of an institution is indefinitely established We are living in a progressive age, at a time when the entire country is wrought up over proposed changes in nearly every line. Everyone is in a state of perturbation, living a life of expectancy, anxiously awaiting the contemplated change. Such a state of affairs does no good. We do not desire to have that in our midst. What we do want is peace and harmony. A well regulated system by which all our needs will be met and our minds will be at ease. Changes are the proper thing when we find them necessary to correct some error, but they work irreparable harm when too radical or cumbersome to be wieldy. The books of the association are in a healthy condition, being briefed to date, and all records posted. Since coming into office a few changes have been made which proved beneficial in keeping the records. One I wish to mention is the consolidation of the personal file. Where heretofore the will-blanks have been kept in a safe deposit box out of reach of the officer who should have immediate access to them, they are now filled with each individual case, thereby making a complete file. The complete history of a member can be had by a glance at his envelope. In conclusion I wish to say that a system is all right at all times in all cases, but in order that it may work properly there must be a competent operator. May it be the good fortune of this League to have in the future men of the ability, integrity, and high moral standing as she has in the past to guide her safely through any troubles that might arise. Aftermath President Lewis is the ideal of the League. He is a humorous as well as an eloquent talker. Andrew Payne is a dignified listener. No persuasion could make him sing. -Hiram Ball is a practical talker as well as a sensible one. Chairman Brown is always ready to talk. W. Stephen Fuller knows what to say and when to say it. Dr. Charles H. Marshall was a distinguished listener. A. F. Boston is a genius and philosopher of the League. He is better known as sober-side. Edward Holland had other fish to fry, hence he was not much in evidence. Fred Sabbs has a sweet voice. He could be a heart breaker. There are some good orators in the Y. M. P. L. Boston and Brown can do the talking for the League. The twin Turners are always in evidence. President Lewis is surrounded by a noble set of men. He will be the next president of the League. Such a valuable man should not be retired, remarked several at the smoker. The most quiet and one of the most jovial men is Kathandel Rutun. Long live the Y. M. P. I was the Long live the Y. M. P. L. was the closing song. James A. Payne made a very sensible and practical talk. W. E. L. Sandford is a jolly good fellow. He never forgets his friends Hamilton Thornton was the chairman's good second. The Young Men's Protective League is an up-to-date organization. It is progressive indeed. W. J. Barten in Town. Mr. W. J. Barton, the old and genial everyday journalist, arrived in the city Monday fresh from the field of battle at Atlanta, Ga., where he said the opposition met its Waterloo. Mr. Barton is the guest of that genial and well known physician, Dr. Daniels. The doctor had Mr. Barton in his great touring car, and made things pleasant and agreeable for his Pennsylvania guest. Mr. Barton left the city, Tuesday for Philadelphia, where he will have a jubilee with Secretary Needham. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 1912 1 REGISTER OF TREAS. REGISTER OF TREASURY J. C. NAPIER, IN NATIVE STATE, DELIVERS SEVERAL ADDRESSES FOR PRESIDENT TAFT. Also Hooper, Present Governor Warmly Received by All Members of Race, and Brings About Peace Between Colored Republicans. (By D. Wellington Berry) Nachillo, Tara The visit of Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the United States Treasury, to Tennessee at this time is, admittedly, the most important event in a political way that has yet occurred in the present political strife as far as the situation among Tennessee Negroes is concerned, and the Tennessee State Republican Central Committee considers that it has accomplished the one thing that has loomed up before it, anent the Negro vote in the State, as a huge mountain, and which with such accomplishment it is confidently believed that President Taft and Governor Hooper, the present chief executive of the State, and also a Republican, will easily receive the largest vote that has been given any candidate for many years by the Negroes in this State. For several years Tennessee has been threatened with a serious break in the Republican ranks, led by Hon. P. F. Hill, a strong and able politician, and who has been for thirty years Grand Master of the U. B. F. Lodge of Tennessee. The deflection took many Negro votes from the Republicans two years ago, but with hard work upon the part of the colored Republican leaders, notable among whom were Register Napier, the Republican Governor and the Independent ticket won out as against the "Regular" Democracy, aided by the movement led by P. F. Hill and known as the "Independent" Colored Republicans. Since that time, as known, Mr. Napier has spent most of his time in Washington looking after the duties devolving upon him as Register of the Treasury, and the "Independent" movement among the colored voters of Tennessee has been growing stronger the while, without little or no opposition. Recently the "Independents" had become merged into Roosevelt Progressives and gave promise of wrecking the Republican party in Tennessee, as fas as the Negro vote was concerned It was at this time that the "Native Son" entered the arena, having come directly to the scene of political activity from the National Negro Business League at Chicago, Mr Napier came to Nashville on business in connection with the settlement of the estate of the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, he being named as one of the executors of the deceased physician's will, but learning of the grave situation which Tennessee was facing, he at once set to work to avert what would no doubt have resulted in an overwhelming defeat for the present governor of the State and the casting of the majority of the colored vote in the Presidential contest for Roosevelt. He left the State for Washington two weeks later with the organization supporting P. F. Hill, together with its leader, advocating the re-election of both President Tait and Governor Hooper, the Republican candidate, and with the satisfaction of knowing that "Teddy's" grave has been dug so deeply that he will hardly be able to arise again, at least, during the present campaign in the old Volunteer State. The leading men of the Independent Colored Republicans have been put on the stump and are making a most effective canvass against the Bull Moose, and it is now assured that Tennessee will poll its full strength for the Republican administration, both state and national, as far as the colored vote is concerned in November. Register Napier, in addition to bringing about this spirit of harmony among the colored voters, delivered several addresses over the State, where imminent danger seemed threatening by the Bull Moose, and in every instance, his visit was marked by the coming together afterwards of the inurgents and declaring that this is no time for the Negro to stay out and that now is the accepted time, if ever, to vote for the Republican candidates wherever nominated. It is very generally known, and much fact is much commented upon more since Mr. Vapire's return to Washington, that there are members of the race at this particular time who are expressing their deep interest for President Taft that have not participated actively in politics in many years, and the campaign managers of the nominees of the Republican party in this State are giving most of the credit for a seemingly eloquent victory this fall to the visit of the Register of the United States Treasury. BOOKER WASHINGTON. Where is the Man to Lead the Negro Politically? These are something like the days when that God called Fred Douglass—piece he to his ashes—was called to deliver his people out of the hand of bondage. But Douglass' work is done! And the little ones yet unborn will rise up and call his name blessed. But how different. O. how different, are the so-called leaders of the race today! They seem to have but on am in view, and that is looking out for self—cell. There never has been a time when the Negro race was more in need of true leadership than now. In the school room we have that great and good man Booker T. Washington. Here he has done, and is doing, a great work. But to whom must the race look for true leadership relative to questions pertaining to our rights, as citizens of the States and nation? Where are the leaders who have the real interest of the race at heart? Can one be found to take up the mantle of that sainted Fred Douglass? Truly the times call for such a man. The colored man, with all of his boasted education and property, has yet one great lesson to learn. He must learn the all-important lesson of being "a man." A man to sit up and take notice to the injustices done him and his race alike, and then speak about it in a way to be heard over hill and valley. As a race we fear we are too much more interested on the subject as to who shall be the President of the United States than who are going to be governors and other officials of the States in which we must live. Indeed, we, as a race, must learn that we are too much concerned about the things that are not very much concerned about us. What we want, and should not rest until we get it, is a few of our hes; educated men in the States legislatures and a few representatives in the United States Congress. Such are the only leaders that are worth the name. Tyler, of Ohio; Napier, of Tennessee; Lewis, of Massachusetts; McKinlay, of South Carolina; Chase, of the District of Columbia; Vernon, of Kansas, and all such men or ability, ought now to be in the United States Congress where they could help the few white men that are in sympathy with us to fight for our rights as American citizens. Tied down in offices, given by the President, these men dare not speak too loud against the oppression of their people. Let them learn to be men! Seek elective offices instead of those by appointment, and thereby prove yourselves worthy of the title leaders. States rights—whether right or wrong—must first be respected when the rights of the Negro is laid upon the scales of justice. It seems that the Negroes of the South have had their day in the States Legislatures and in the United States Congress. Now let the Negroes of the North and West wake up and "start something" in the interest of their people throughout the entire country. We need black watch dogs in the nation's capital, and in all the States where laws are being made to govern mankind. And may God help the so-called leaders to wake up and take some notice of the sad conditions with which we are surrounded today. We need colored men of brains and refinement in the places we have spoken of, and the race, like Rachel weeping for her children and will not be comforted, should start and start now, and cease not until we get what we want. God speed the day and hour when the United States Congress will again be dotted here and there with respectable colored Representatives from many of the States. J. C: CUNNINGHAM. When the Cost of Living Was Lower. The Democrats say that "the people want Wilson because they want a reduction in the cost of living." We have a faint recollection of the same reason being advanced for Mr. Cleveland's election, and a vivid remembrance that the people got it. We can remember in those good old Democratic days, when the cost of living was reduced to such a point that farmers were compelled to sell their grain and live stock for considerably less than it cost to produce them; when the cost of manufactured products went so low, under the free-trade reign, that manufacturers were compelled to shut down their factories because it cost more to produce their goods than they could sell them for, and when hundred of thousands of hungry men swarmed the country looking in vain for work, while their families were being fed at public soup houses, established and maintained by federal and municipal governments and philanthropists to keep them from starving. Yes, we can remember when the people wanted a Democratic administration so as to reduce the cost of living, and we firmly believe that too many other men remember the affairs of those days to make possible any danger of history repeating itself. The people who remember do not want the Democratic system of reduction in the cost of living.—Luverne (Minn.) Herald. J C NAPIER SPEAKS AT MUR FIRESZORO. Addresses Large Crowd of Negroes at Colored Fair of Rutherford County. MURFREESBORO, TENN., Sept. 6.—The announcement that J. C. Napier, the colored leader, and register of the United States Treasury, at Washington, would speak at the fair grounds where is being held the ninth annual colored fair of Rutherford county, coupled with the fact that this was Nashville day, brought out the largest crowd of Negroes that has attended this annual meet of the colored people of this county, perhaps in many years. Napier was introduced by R. T. Butler, president of the Rutherford county colored fair, and in his address he complimented the Rutherford county Negroes for their energy and thrift and told the Negro farmers that agricultural pursuits are the noblest to which members of the Negro race can apply themselves. The speaker told the colored people something about how government money is made, having been repeatedly called upon by some one in the audience to do so, and when in response to a question, he answered that United States currency made within the last year was no good without his signature, tremendous applause ensued throughout the entire grandstand in which the speaking was held. Again Napier was interrupted in his speech and expressions by him were called for upon the present political situation, both State and national. Soon, the people of this State and nation, he stated, will be called upon to say who shall rule at both Nashville and Washington. He declared that the people are satisfied with the services of President Taft. Pointing next to Governor Hooper's record, Napier was heartily cheered when he stated that Tennessee has never had a more upright, humane and altogether gentlemanly governor than the present chief executive of the State. No fair-minded colored man, ventured the speaker, would fail to give Governor Hooper his vote for re-election. The Bee and Its Editor. From now until the close of the campaign The Washington Bee and its Editor, with two other local members of the bar and citizens of Maryland, will canvas the entire State of Maryland for Taft and Sherman. The Bee will be distributed freely among the voters, which will contain live campaign literature on the leading topics of the day. Arrangements have been made by Republicans to organize monster meeting throughout the State. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, Attorney John E. Collins, Thomas L. Jones, and Rev. W. Bishop Johnson will speak throughout the State next week. Mrs Hallie E Davis will also speak under the auspices of the National Committee. Mrs. Davis is the wife of ex-Senator Davis, and a woman of remarkable ability. Miss Mattie E. Brown has also been engaged, but her health will not permit her. Everybody is singing it—the Jubilee Song by Miss Ella M. Boston, of the 10th Street Baptist Church. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS DEVOTED TO GENERALINTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) The first exclusively commercial newspaper in America was issued in Boston one hundred and twenty years ago this month, under the title of "The Boston, Price Curst and Marine Intelligencer." Miss Sarah N. Meriwether, of the class of 1910, College of Arts and Science, post graduate of Normal School No. 25 has been appointed by President Newman, as teacher of English and History at Howard University.

TWO SONS KILLED IN WAR Was Noted Japanese Fighter, Who Conducted Siege of Port Arthur and Forced Surrender. General Count Nogl, hero par excellence of the Japanese army for the part he played in reducing Russia's fortress of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war, committed suicide, following the religious ceremonies in connection with the funeral of the late emperor, Mutsuhito, in Tokio. With him in self-sought death went his wife, Countess Nogl. The suicide of Nogl and his wife by the famous method of hara karl, the manner of self-destruction, is characteristic of the samurai. Both stabbed themselves to death over the body of the late emperor. The suicides came as a climax to the funeral services. The general was a devoted friend of the late sovereign, and it is believed that grief over the death of the monarch drove them to the decision to commit suicide in accordance with the Shinto belief that it is just and holy to die in memory of a friend, as well as the ancient samurai belief that is honorable for a samurai to join his emperor or the chief of his clan in death. The tragedy was concealed for several hours, and even then the details were not made known. It was learned, however, that the general's wife had attempted to persuade him to abandon his plan. He had made his intention known to her, in accordance with the Japanese custom, before he went to mourn beside the emperor's earlier in the day. She had followed him and when she saw him fall upon the magnificent casket of the late ruler of Japan she rushed to his side, and with the same weapon that he had used ended her life. At the time the double suicide occurred, the Shinto priests were chanting a requiem for the dead. This was not interrupted by the double suicide but attendants carried the bodies of the war hero, and his wife from the temple to their home. Nogi, than whom none was higher in the hearts of the Japanese people because of his deeds as a soldier ended his life like the true samurai that he was, a sacrifice to the spirit of his dead sovereign, whom he venerated as a descendant of the gods. The countess, his wife, was the daughter of a samurai, and was quite as thoroughly imbued with the idea of the devotion to sovereign and country. Besides she was the mother of two sons who were killed with the war with Russia, and doubtless felt along with her husband, that having given her offspring for "Dal Nippon," as the Japanese fondly call their empire, the death and burial of Mutsuhito, the supreme fountain of all the high honor that had accrued to her husband, lett naught for them but suicide as a sacrifice in his august honor. The point of view is difficult to express to a modern mind, but to those familiar with Japan and things Japanese the double suicide is not strange. From time immemorial Japanese nobles have sacrificed themselves in similar circumstances, but of late years it has been thought that the custom of sacrifice has been dying out, but the tragedy indicates what the shrewdest and most observant of foreigners in Japan thoroughly believe—that the spirit of old Japan with its attendant virtues of whole souled devotion to emperor and country and with its blind adherence to the ancient customs of the samurai. and warrior class are just as strong as ever and need nothing save the thought in the Japanese mind that the emperor calls for the Japanese himself to respond with the fatalistic loyalty that has always been his chief racial characteristic. Paul Peck Is Killed Flying. Aviator Paul Peck, of Washington holder of the American duration flight record, was killed in a fall with a biplane while flying in a gusty wind in Chicago. Peck attempted too steep a spiral and when he struck the ground the heavy engine came through the wreckage, striking him in the neck. A gusty wind blew at Cicero Field all day, and Director Andrew Drew posted a warning to aviators against going up. Peck, believing his small biplane would be fast enough to carry him through the choppy wind, went into the air in spite of the caution. At about 800 feet altitude he started to come down in a spiral glide. Because of the unusually small span of his machine, Peck got into too steep a spiral, his aeroplane slid toward the center of the vortex and he could not bring it back. His real difficulty did not become apparent until he was within 200 feet of the ground. He would have escaped with minor injuries, Director Drew and his technical committee declared, had it not been for the fact that the heavy engine, crashing through the framework, with its gasoline tank and iron fittings, struck Peck In the neck and across the legs. He died an hour later in St. Anthony de Padua hospital. Receivers For U. S. Motor Company. Receivers have been appointed in New York city for the United States Motor company, a $42,250,000 holding corporation, organized in 1908 to control ten automobile and gas engine manufacturing companies. Its directors number some of the best known capitalists in the country. The receivers, W. E. Strong and Robert Walker, were appointed by Judge Hough, in an insolvency suit brought in the federal district court by the Brown & Sharp Manufacturing company, of Providence, R. I., in its own behalf, and that of other creditors. In addition to the appointment of the two receivers for the holding company, five of its constituent companies were involved, namely: The Alden Sampson Manufacturing company, of Detroit; the Brush Runabout company, of Detroit; the Columbia Motor company, of Hartford, Conn.; the Dayton Motor Car company, of Dayton, Ohio, and the Maxwell-Briscoe company, of Tarrytown, N. Y. The receivers' joint bond was fixed at $100,000. Bankers identified with the company say that the proceedings are friendly and brought to clear up the company's affairs with a view to protecting the creditors. Plans for reorganization are said to be under way. Mellon Divorce Decree Signed. The final decree in the Mellon divorce case was signed by Judge Frazer when he made absolute the divorce granted to Andrew W. Mellon, the millionaire banker of Pittsburgh, Pa. Mrs. Mellon was not in court nor is she in Pittsburgh. She spent the summer at the home of her parents in England. In the settlement legalized by the court Mellon gets custody of the children for eight months in the year. The other four months Mrs. Mellon may have her little son and daughter. The money settlement, it is said, is to be $30,000 a year to the wife, who says she will make her home in London. 40.000 Lives Lost In Typhoon. Immense loss of life is reported in mall advices just received in Shanghai from Wen-Chow, in the province of Chekiang. Chinese estimates give the death roll between 30,000 and 40,000 as the result of a typhoon, combined with torrential rains and high tides which occurred Aug. 29. Great floods followed and the upper Wen-Chow river overflowed a vast area. The town of Tsingtien, forty miles northwest of Wen-Chow, was overwhelmed and 10,000 of the inhabitants were drowned. Various other towns and villages were destroyed and the prefecture at Chuchow, an important missionary station, was washed away. Taft Poses For "Movies." President Taft posed for two moving picture operators, who set up their machines on the lawn at Paramatta, in Beverly, Mass., and took several hundred feet of films showing the president planting a small hickory tree and walking through the garden with Mrs. Taft.

ROSENTHAL GUN-MEN CAPTURED New York Detectives Traced Them to Hiding Place in Brooklyn-Hidden There a Month. "Lefty Loule" and "Gyp the Blood" were arrested at 756 Woodward avenue, Brooklyn, by Deputy Police Commissioner George Dougherty and a force of detectives. The two missing "gunmen," so long sought for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, are now at police headquarters, Manhattan, and there is no doubt of their identity. The two men were arrested in company with their wives and a visiting pickpocket in a flat which they furnished about Aug. 15, and when they were covered with the revolvers of the police their only comment was: "Ah, hell; put up your guns; we won't make no trouble." Scarcely another remark was made to the police by either man until they were examined at police headquarters later by Assistant District Attorney Moss, acting for District Attorney Whitman, who has gone out to Hot Springs to fake testimony of persons who talked to Sam Schepps, a witness in the case. The women, however, made a scene, throwing their arms around their husbands' necks and shedding coilous tears. They had to be torn away from the men before the police could get their prisoners out of the apartment, and were later brought to police headquarters. With the arrest of "Gyp" and "Lefty," whose real names are Harry Horowitz and Louis Rosenwegl, all of the seven men accused of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, of which Police Leutenant Charles Becker is the alleged instigator, are now in the hands of the authorities. The capture of the two men came as a result of what is regarded in police circles as the best detective work done in the history of the department. It was the fruit of unbroken surveillance of the wives and relatives of the men since their disappearance on the day of the murder, July 16. This surveillance was maintained by sixty detectives working in relays, who kept Deputy Commissioner Dougherty in constant touch with what they did and where they went. Commissioner Dourkerty said that "Gyp" and "Lofty" had fled immediately after the murder to Parksville, N. Y., a summer resort in the Catskill mountains, and had remained there more than a week. His men had traced them back to New York by their baggage checks, but had lost them at the Hoboken terminal. Where they were between July 26, the date of their arrival and Aug. 15, the commissioner has not definitely determined. Neither gunman appeared to be in funds, "Gyp" having only $18 in his possession. GET ALLEN CLANSMEN Arrest Leader and Nephew of Gang Which Shot Up Court. Sidna Allen, leader of the Allen clan, which shot up the Carroll county court house at Hillsville, Va., on March 14, killing Judge Massie and others, and his nephew, Wesley Edwards, are manaced in cells at the city jail in Des Molnes, Iowa, as a result of a love affair which led detectives to them. Both men have announced their willingness to return to Virginia without requisition. Edwards, for the love of whom Miss Maude Iroler, of Mount Airy, Va., had innocently led detectives out to Des Molnes, was captured as he was returning to his boarding house, after having worked all day with a paving gang. Just as he boarded a street car detectives and officers surrounded it. Edwards was trying to escape by crawling through the front end of the car when the officers caught him. The arrest of Sldna-Allen was effected earlier in the day. A visit to Edwards to Miss Iroler in her Virginia home about a month ago and the accident loss of a letter put the detectives on the trail. The fugitives had been in Des Moines since April 25. Allen, under the name of Tom Sayre, worked as a carpenter and Edwards, under the name of Joe Jackson, was employed with a city paying gang. Allen was arrested at the home of John Cameron, at Eleventh and Locust streets, where he and his nephew had been rooming, by Detectives Baldwin, Lucas and Mundy, of Roanoke. The arrests occurred a few minutes after Miss Iroler stepped into the Cameron home to meet Edwards, whom she was to wed. Death After Compulsory Vaccinations Complying with the rules of the school board, Catherine, the six-year-old daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Alcher, of Phillipsburg, N! J., was vaccinated last week and was to have entered the public schools. She died of spinal meningitis, said to have been brought on by the vaccination. Professor Stirling explained a variety of optical illusions, including the after effects of seen movements and entasis or convexity in curvature. He demonstrated how the Greek architects had realized the existence of entasis and had constructed their horizontal beams in convex form in order to remove the apparent concave appearance and had given to the pillars on the Parthenon and other ancient buildings just such a bulge as was necessary to destroy the erratic effect of a series of parallel columns. In dealing with colored shadows Professor Stirling demonstrated the great difficulties that occasionally beset the designers of dress materials. Recently in Manchester, he stated, a dispute arose between a designer and the weavers upon the appearance of a pink shade in some finished material. The dispute would have ended in a lawsuit had not a scientist demonstrated the fact that the existence of pink was merely an illusion produced by a certain arrangement of other colors and that no colors had been introduced except those supplied by the designer.—London Standard. African Superstitions Concerning the superstitions that are rife in Nigeria, Africa, a traveler says: "The bird which files in at your open door in the sunlight, the bat which circles round you at night, the small bush beasts which cross your path while hunting, all may be familiares of witch or wizard or even the latter themselves disguised to do you hurt. Sometimes the terror of witchcraft will scatter a whole town. Should the suspicion of witchcraft fall on any one only trial by ordeal can free him. The most usual trial is that of eating 'esere,' a poisonous bean which almost invariably kills the suspected person. The ordeals of boiling oil poured on the palms of the hands and of peppercorns inserted in the eyes are far less dreaded, not only because their results are practically never fatal, but because the physical anguish entailed is acknowledged to be less intense than that caused by 'esere.'" The Two Ways. A hunter of the old school, who lives among the foothills of the Alleghenies, was tased into making a wager of $10 that his antiquated gun would shoot a bullet through a railroad crossie. The old hunter was confident of winning, as he had tested his gun on crossties, hickory, oak, and even ironwood. The bet was to be decided in the lumber yard back of the depot. The old hunter arrived at that place in advance of the others. He arranged several of the thickest crossties for the test by standing them against piles of lumber with their flat sides forward. Imagine his astonishment, if you can, when the man with whom he had made the bet, upon arriving; exclaimed: "Flatways! Are you daisy, man? Turn them endways!" The hunter of the old school lost—Philadelphia North American. Deadly Snake The dendilest of snakes is said to be the mamba, an African cobra. It flies at everybody and everything; it goes out of its way to quarrel; it will even come down from a tree to solicit an interview. Over in India there is the great king cobra, or hamadryad, a size larger, quite as fierce (it has been known to chase a man on horseback; he had to ride for his life), but its poison is a degree less virulent. The difference, however, may be considered negligible and ceases to interest the patient after a few minutes. Among the Australian cobras, the pit vipers of America and the great West African vipers there are species with evil reputations, and the most alarming feature is that the aggressive snakes are all desperately polsonous. August and July. "August," the name of the month, is accented on the first syllable. "August," the adjective, is accented on the second syllable. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that, though both started from the Latin "augustus," they have arrived by different routes. The adjective is the French "auguste," while "August," commemorating the Roman emperor's title, is the French "aout" and the middle English "augst" or "aust." "July" used to rhyme with "duly," even in Johnson's time, as it had done centuries earlier and as it does in southern Scotland to this day. Goethe's Mother The poet Goethe owed much of his greatness to his mother, a woman well made to bear such a son, a perfect mother and, better still, his intimate friend and confidant. Brought up in strictly bourgeois and limited circles, with very little education, such were her natural intelligence and sympathy that she afterward became the friend of princes, poets and philosophers and her house a rendezvous for the great minds of her day.

MILITIA FIGHTS THE FIRE Pour Oil Over Tipple and Apply Match — Threaten to, Dynamite Workings in Paint Creek District. The expected outbreak in the Cabin Creek district of the Kanawha coal fields, where 1200 West Virginia militiamen are maintaining martial law. came when the stables of the Ohley Coal company, at Ohley, were destroyed by fire and an attempt was made to fire the tipple of the same company. Twenty-five militiamen from the Clarksburg company, drove off the men, and it is believed that some were wounded. The company's property is located in a lonely part of the district, and it was deemed advisable some time ago to place a force within striking distance of the mine. Soon after o'clock in the morning a picket saw a sheet of flame leap from the stables where eleven mules and four horses were. He fired his rifle and called the guard. Leutenant Cochrane and his men fought the flames for half an hour, but the building had been fired at so many points that it was impossible to save it or its contents. While the soldiers were fighting the fire at the stables, half a dozen men crept along the railroad tracks, and, knocking in the head of a barrel of oil, poured its contents on the company's tipple. Applying a match to the inflammable structure, they were seen by a seurty. He fired at them. The alarm brought Leutenant Cochrane and his men to the scene. He sent part of the force to the tipple while he and the others pursued the incendiaries. Although the woods in the vicinity were carefully searched and many shots were fired it is not definitely known that any one was hurt and none was captured The soldiers at the tipple extin-gulished the flames. Over on Paint creek a party of men succeeded in leaving a letter at the office of the Mucklow Coal company and in the houses of a number of employees, notifying them that if the mine was started, or if the men attempted to go to work the buildings would be dynamitted and the workings blown up. No effort had been made to tstart the mine, but it was stated here that the company had inquired as to the measure of the protection the state could give if it decided to resume work. EXCITING RESCUES MARK HOTEL FIRE Guests Escape in Nightclothes While Building Burns. The Eagle hotel, of Pine Grove, near Pottsville, Pa., was burned down ambi exciting scenes, many of the guests escaping in their nightclothes. Mrs. A. M. Walmer, wife of the proprietor of the hotel, sixty years old, hung onto a window ledge on the second story until she was rescued by firemen. A daughter of the proprietor was hurt on a cigar sign while the firemen were forcibly rescuing her. John Dunmoyer, proprietor of the Central hotel, and Claude Leonard two volunteer firemen, broke through a burning floor and fell through a wall of flames, escaping death almost miraculously. The hotel was destroyed and the loss is about $6000. TO OPEN CANAL-NEXT YEAR Fleet to Go to Colon This Winter Before Water is Turned On. The Panama canal will be opened to traffic in the fall of 1913. This statement was made officially at the navy department in Washington with an announcement that the Atlantic fleet would be rendezvoused at Colon this winter before the water is turned in. The navy's estimate is based upon the latest report from the army engineers. Secretary Meyer, after consulting with the isthmian canal commission discovered that construction work on the canal had progressed so far that unless action was taken immediately, there was a probability that the men of the fleet would have no opportunity to examine the connecting link between the two oceans before it was in operation. The visit of the fleet will include railroad trips for the men throughout the canal zone. Six Naval Apprentices Drowned. It is reported that six naval apprentices from the United States naval training station at North Chicago were drowned in Lake Michigan. Twelve apprentices, accompanied by an officer, were on a pleasure cruise in a sailboat when the accident occurred. C. J. C. Resigns to Support Roosevelt Robert G. Valentine, of Manschussets, United States commissioner of Indian affairs, has resigned his office in order that he may actively support the presidential candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Valentine's letter of resignation was forwarded to President Taft. It was accompanied by a statement in which Mr. Valentine sets forth that he out of tune with the administration policy and that he has decided to quit the Republican organization to join the new party. Straus Named by Progressive 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 stamped brook loose. It came like a thunderchip to him. 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-semblyman George A. Green, of King 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. John C. Magee, of New York, 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, bandana and canes, umbrellas, hats and handkerchiefs. The band boomed out with the "Star Spangled Banner" and swished to "Onward, 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. 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. 450,000 Pensioners. The number of government pensioners under the new Sherwood law for the relief of Civil War vetcars will be nearly 450,000, according to figures given out in Washington. To date 458,850 applications for pensions have been received since the law wint into effect on May 11. The average pension under the act amounts almost to $1 a day. Live Cattle Bring $10.90. For the third time this week beeves broke the high price record in Chicago. A carload sold at $10.00. This was 15 cents above the last previous top figures. Predictions were freely made that the trade soon won't see something heftoreft believed to be fabulous, beef.selling at 11 cents a pound "on the hoof." Student Killed by Hazers. William Rand, a freshman of the State university at Raleigh, N.C., was killed, being hazed by sophomores. Rand, perched on a barrel and surrounded by his tormentors, fell off and gashed his neck on a broken pitcher. He died soon afterwards. A coroner's jury is investigating. Read Congressional Record; Insane. Reading the Congressional Record and various other publications sent him by Congressman Anderson for a year drove Carl Hessenmeyer, of Sandusky, Ohio, insane, according to his own statement in probate court. He said he got so he read nothing also. Aged Woman Killed by Trolley Car. Mrs. Milton Gross, a widow, aged eighty years, was instantly killed in South, Bethlehem, Pa., by a trolley car. She became bewildered and stepped directly in front of the vehicle. A Wasp's Strategy. A mud wasp was seen to alight within an inch or two of a spider's nest on the side opposite the opening. Creeping around toward the entrance to the nest, the wasp stopped a little short of it and for a moment remained perfectly quiet. Then, reaching out one of his antennae, he wriggled it before the opening. A moment later he withdrew the "feeler." This overture had the desired effect, inasmuch as the head of the household, a big spider, came out to see what was wrong and to set it to rights. No sooner had the spider emerged to that point at which it was at the worst disadvantage than the wasp with a quick movement thrust its sting into the body of its foe, killing it easily and almost instantly. The experiment was repeated by the wasp, and when there was no response from the inside he evidently became satisfied that he held the fort. At all events, he proceeded to enter the nest and daughter the young spiders, which were lugged off one at a time.-Harper's Weekly. Belgium's Curious Land Law Belgium's Curious Land Law. One of the curious phases of the land law in Belgium is that the earth of a landowner beyond a certain depth does not belong to him. Should the owner of the surface discover a coal or gold deposit underlying his property he must first obtain a government concession before he can begin mining operations. The land beyond the prescribed depth in which wealth in the raw has been discovered may be conceded to a person other than the surface owner, who may operate under certain government regulations, one of which is that the owner of the surface is entitled to 3 per cent of the value extracted. The mine pays to the government an amount determined by the value and importance of the concession, after which it must pay to the government a sum proportioned to the value of the total extraction. Great Expectations Aunt Sallie came to the town's Lady Bountiful one day and asked for the loan of a dollar. "What do you want a dollar for, 'Aunt Sallie?' the Lady Bountiful inquired. "Please, ma'am," said Aunt Sallie, "I'm goln' to git married." "But if your man hasn't even a dollar to pay for the marriage license how will the pair of you get along?" "Well, ma'am," said Aunt Sallie, "tomorrow's your birthday, and we're both comin' to your picnic in the birch woods. You always give us somethin' to take home from your birthday picnic, and the day after there's your usual free basket distribution for the unemployed. That'll keep us a week easy, and by that time Joe and me'll be on our feet, mebbe."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Curious Archipelago. The Maldive archipelago, lying in the Indian ocean, several hundred miles southwest of the southern point of Hindustan, is inhabited, but it rarely sees visitors from the civilized world. These islands, all composed of coral rock, are no fewer than 14,000 in number. Few of them rise more than seven or eight feet, above the sea level, although they contain cocoanut palms and other forms of vegetation. Hundreds and hundreds of little islands, ranged round in a circle, with narrow and shallow channels between, form atolls or rings, having quiet waters within. Occasionally in this unique group an individual island is found in the form of a ring with a smooth lake inclosed in its coral embrace. Handel's Pensions. No other musician of his time was so fortunate in money matters as Handel. For a "Te Deum" composed to celebrate the peace of Utrecht he was given a pension of £200 a year until his death, making £1,000 in all. Another of his compositions secured a pension of a similar amount from George L, and for the last twenty years of his life he drew a further £200 a year from Queen Caroline. So, although he lost £10,000 in an unsuccessful attempt to run opera in London, Handel died possessed of £20,000, the largest fortune realized by any musical composer until the dawn of the nineteenth century. The Dogcart A memory of the times when dogs worked for a living in England is seen in the "dogcart," which originally was literally drawn by dogs and, until prohibited in 1839 by act of parliament, was the workingman's usual means of taking a run into the country. Strong half bred mastiffs were usually employed, and these thought nothing of conveying their masters fifty or sixty milies in a day with no more sustenance than bread soaked in beer. Contrasts.

Its achievement in the cause of human liberty, its attitude as a party in behalf of human rights, places the Republican party upon a plane so lofty as to make its record almost impossible of comparison with that of any other political party in this country. The Republican party is not only the party of freedom, the party of equal rights, but in all those states or the Union where the Republican party is and has been the leading and the dominant party, all citizens alike have and are secure in the enjoyment of all the rights and privileges which the Constitution of the United States guarantees to them and which its provisions intended they should have. What is the record of the Democratic party on these greater questions of government? While the Republican party was fighting to make enslaved men free, the Democratic party was struggling to keep bondsmen enslaved. No sooner had the Republican party secured the constitutional guarantee of equal rights to all, without regard to color, than did the Democratic party in the States of the South commence to invoke measures by which the rights of part of the American citi- zens might be overcome through various substerufes and enactments in the forms of State laws. This juggling with the suffrage rights of the masses of the people in the Democratic States of the South has gone to such an extreme that the country must, at this time, behold the amazing situation of popular government in the South reduced to government of, for and by a minority—and quite a small minority at that. The twelve States of the South which gave their electoral votes to the Democratic national ticket in 1908, the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas; and Virginia, have a male citizenship of voting age of 5,953,625. Of this number 4,666,067 are white and 1,887,554 are colored. It must amaze the thoughtful people of the country, in this meanwhile of so much being said by certain Democratic leaders about the rule of the people, when it is brought to their attention that the combined vote polled for the democracy, for the Presidential ticket in these dozen States was only 1,146,263 ballots, while the whole vote for all tickets was but 1,802,510. The Democratic vote of 1,146,263 is not only not a third of this white male population of voting age in these States, but this combined vote of the Democratic party in these States does not even equal the number of colored males of voting age. There were 2,919,804 white males of voting age not supporting the Southern democracy, and to this number add the 1,887,554 colored male citizens of voting age and we find 4,807,358 male citizens of voting age in the so-called Democratic States of the South dominated by the Democratic minority vote of 1,146,263 ballots. In the State of Alabama, for example, having 513,113 male citizens of voting age, 299,188 whites and 213,923 colored, the vote polled for the Democratic Presidential ticket in 1908 was 74,374. Of the 213,923 colored citizens of voting age in Alabama, the official registration of that State in 1908 was 3,742. The nature of general laws, the intent of general laws, can best be observed by the effect of their operations upon those who live under them. So it is that the swing of the bourbon Democratic political ax in the South is seen to have relegated the rule of the majority of --- all the people, whites as well as colored, and has reduced the electorate to a bare minority, designated, of course, as "the best" people of the South. So it must be concluded, from a study of the Democratic election returns in the Southern States, that not only has the colored citizens been deprived of the ballot because of color, but that, somehow, in some manner peculiar to the bourbon democracy of the South, the white masses are not in the voting and it appears that instead of government of, for and by the people, there is this class government of, for and by the "best" people. It is true that through strategy and subterfuge, taking the place of fraud and open denial, colored citizens of the South, in most part, are denied their voting rights, but this is because of the acts and methods of the Democratic party. That such procedure is not the policy of the Republican party is proven in the fact that colored citizens from the Democratic States of the South who establish their citizenship in the Republican States of the North enter into all the Constitutional rights equally with all other citizens, while it should not be forgotten that it was the beneficent work of the Republican party that made it possible for former bondsmen to thus enter into the full enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of all Americans; at least in the majority of the States, the Republican States, of this nation. It is un-American to permit the growing up in this country of a voting and non-voting class, for those having voice in government are citizens to the full, while those not having voice in Government must come to feel themselves in the attitude of subject citizens. It is destructive to good government, it destroys the right spirit of patriotism, to have so great a part of our citizenship not taking part in and sharing the responsibility of government. DR. CORROTHERS. We listened to the last of the series of sermons last Sabbath morning that Rev. S. L. Corrothers preached to one of the largest congregations that has ever been in Galbraith A. M. E. Church. Standing room was at a premium. Every available space was filled. We concluded that Rev. Corrothers has the people with him, notwithstanding the adverse criticisms made against him. The last of the series was delivered last Sabbath morning. It was one of the most eloquent and logical that this distinguished divine has ever delivered. Old men, old women, middle-aged men and women, young men and young women, shook their entire body to a frenzy. Screams and cries and prayers were heart-rending, so effective was the exhortation, appeals and eloquence of Dr. Corrothers. The salvation of this race was, as we could infer, the success of the present administration at the polls in November. THE BEE REGRETS. The Bee regrets that its good friend, Col. Johnson, went down in defeat at Georgia. The special to The Bee states that Houston is the cause of it. Mr. H. L. Slaughter, editor of the Old Fellows Journal, won a great victory for him-self and his friend Needham of Philadelphia. The Bee always had great admiration for Mr. Needham, and thought that the fight against him was unjustifiable and unkind. Secretary Needham made a good officer, and not a more honest and progressive editor can be found than Editor Slaughter, of the Journal. The Bee regrets the defeat of Col. Johnson and Editor Ben Davis, and at the same time it must congratulate its old friend, Editor Slaughter. The Bee has always had great faith in him. He is not a man to lose his head, when he is elevated to a small or any position. THE BULL MOOSE. The Bull Moose party is composed of a number of disgruntled and disappointed sore heads. Take the so-called Bull Moose faction in this city. It is composed of a few unknown, degenerate and disappointed and defeated sore heads. They have been clamoring for power and position for a number of years. The Negroes connected with it are a class of half whites who have for twenty years or more been ostracised by the legitimate people in this community. Take them, one by one, and desec him, and if he can draw anybody aside from himself, The Bee will lose its ancient reputation for truth and veracity. The Bull Moose party will go out of existence as fast as it came in. Not a Bull Moose Negro in this city is able to draw one vote from the dog catchers association. A WISER MAN. Jenifer, of the Normal School, who came to The Bee office to teach the Editor a lesson, left a wiser man, no doubt. When he calls again he will know how to address the Editor. The Bee wonders if he told the news to Bassett. JAS. C. MANNING. The National Committee is to be congratulated on having such a valuable man as Mr. J. C. Manning. There is no man in this country more qualified to do the work in which he is engaged. Booker Washington on Getting Ons. (Boston and Chicago Congregationalist.) Nothing that has happened in the political situation changes the counsel which Principal Washington gives to his people. Success in industry and property holding, he tells them, is the secret of respect. In an address at the meeting of the National Negro Business League, he instanced many successful careers of land ownership and fortune-gathering among his people and said, in effect, "Go and do them likewise." The moment is ripe, he says, for taking an active part in the growth of the South, which is to be extensive in the next ten years. "In fact, one-half of the land in the South and two-thirds of the land in the West is still unused. Now is the time for us to become the owners and users of our share before it is too late. From ownership of the soil come independence, self-support, happiness, and real manhood rights. Land that can be gotten at $10 acre now, a few years hence cannot be got for two and three times as much. I do not want members of our race to be content with merely skimming around over the outer edges in the form of obtaining odd and uncertain jobs, but I want them to get in at the bottom of these fundamental industries and stand among the leading producers. There is no law in this country to prevent Negroes from owning and operating iron foundries, cotton mills, oil mills, shoe factories." This is good counsel, though it does not cover the whole ground. The colored people need wise leadership of their own racial stock. They need above all, the restraint and impulse of a sober and pure religion. Such as the friends of the colored race in America can give should not be devoted to material prosperity only, though that is evidently the direct and immediate way to the respect of the communities in which the colored man does his work. How the Farmers, Will Vote. With Mr. Neville, at the Raleigh, was Charles R. Robertson, of Billings, Mont, who agreed with Mr. Neville that the Democrats may lose some of the States; they are counting upon with confidence. "There are some Republican States out that way that will continue to be Republican States, notwithstanding the assertions and claims of the Democrats," said Mr. Robertson. "The party leaders who are making up their estimates and figuring on results from a Democratic viewpoint, may have failed to reckon on the farmer vote in the big agricultural States of the Northwest. "Wyoming. I think, is the largest sheep-raising State in the Union, with Montana a close second. It is not probable, I take it, that the woolgrowers of Wyoming and Montana will take kindly to the Democratic proposition to reduce the tax on wool. Our people cannot be blamed if they hold to account the party that proposes to injure their principal industry. "Montana, although inclined toward Democracy, is not particularly enamored of the Democratic policy of a wholesale reduction of the tariff duties. Since coming East I have talked with several farmers who live in the nearby States of Virginia and Maryland. A man from Virginia, who owns a farm of several hundred acres—a Democrat all his life—told me emphatically that, while he had never voted any but the Democratic ticket, he was not disposed to vote at all this year. President Taft, he declared, was good enough for him, and he added that no farmer in this country could find fault with Taft or his administration, because never in the history of the country have farm price-been so high as they are today. Why should the farmers complain, he asked. And that's just what is going to help the regular Republican ticket and hurt the Democrats."—Washington Post. Attorney Beckett. New York City, Sept. 17. Attorney Thomas Beckett, the well known and highly appreciated member of the Washington bar, is the Eastern representative of The Uncle Sam Oil Company, was met by the Editor of The Bee on his trip to New York, and among other things this well known lawyer stated that the special price placed upon the stocks by the Board of Directors at their meeting of August 5, 1912, has appealed so strongly to our people wherever he has been in the course of his itinerary, that he thinks that by October 2, 1912, the stock will be advanced 100 per cent. Mr. Beckett will be in this city next week. He is popular in New York and the Fast. Attorney A. W. Scott Who led the successful fight at Dayton, Ohio, which resulted in the re-election of Henry H. Pace as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, and who in turn was elected Grand Legal Advisor of the order. PublicMen And Things PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Well, I see the colored Odd Fellows remain true to the name—they are truly odd fellows. Last week they journeyed all the way down to Link Johnson's home, Atlanta, to hold a B M C, and just as they did over at Baltimore two years ago, broke up in a row. Slaughter, the little fighting bantam, thrown out all the Ben Davis, Bill Houston and Link Johnson ballast that he had been carrying in his balloon, and aeroplane down to Atlanta to go "again" his old croonies. The week before he left he didn't do a thing but burn his bridges behind him, made a thirteen inch gun out of The Odd Fellows' Journal, and poured volley after volley into the Davis-Houston-Johnson breastworks. The funny thing about it, so I have been told in high secret circles, that they never figured that Slaughter would even get in the too one shot class. But don't you know that little sawed-off and hammered down bunch of energy didn't do a thing but beat the machine out. I have heard some funny things since the B M C. Fizzed out. One bon mot is that they are giving Link Johnson a mild dose of knackafrasse because when he was in the chair he didn't run the meeting according to Hoyle. Ed Morris, they tell me, was too smooth for all the Supreme Court judges, and just put them to sleep with fine maneuvering, while little old Slaughter, who was a sort of "dressed Jew" to the machine bunch, just hopped about everywhere, and swam out the gun every time Morris fired. A week ago it was odds on the Davis-Houston-Johnson combine with no takers. Now it's odds on the Morris-Slaughter combine, with no takers. I saw Harry Cummings, over in Baltimore this week, and Harry looked like the judge at Hillsville, Va., right after the Allen boys shot up the court—he was next door to non-compos mentus, whatever that is. Harry, as Attorney General, was supposed to be the great battling ram that was to hold the opposition in check with law. Harry, they tell me, is now figuring how to hedge. I haven't seen Link Johnson yet, but I heard a close friend of his say that Link, since his return, is like that historical boy who had nothing to say after he furnished his mother an opportunity to clean up something. Slaughter, and his man Friday—quiet, easy-going John Goin's—have been smiling to each other, back and forth, ever since their return, and every once in a while Slaughter says, to Goin's, "John, didn't we skin 'em?" "Sure did." answer John, "come have one on me." John, when they have finished a delicious mint julep, Goins will say to Slaughter, "Say, Henry, didn't we skin 'em?" "Sure," responds Slaughter, "come take one on me!" Ben Davis, they say, is writing a book, entitled "How Figures Can Lie," and Houston and Link Johnson, when they meet just look at each other in the face, meticulously explain, in unison, in the language of Count Sebakahoff after the Japs had put the Mcow-count convent out. "Ain't it h—I?" They say they are going to call another meeting of the B M C. at the end of sixty days, and race through the election of Ben Davis, and his cohorts, but I am betting Dr. Williston's speedometer against Dr. Cabines' speed record, which is four miles in four hours, that meeting will never be held, and if it does, the courts will decide the case. But mebbe Jim Needham isn't treating himself every ten seconds over the tizzle. The plank had been greased for Jim to walk, and he had started on his journey with all the calmness of the Duke d'Aubre when he went to the guillotin. Henry Slaughter happens to receive a case of wet goods consigned to him from Philadelphia, without the name of the consignee, he can just be satisfied that it's from Jim Needham, in appreciation of his (Slaughter) doing the desperate desmond act—snatching him from the cage containing the three fierce mubian lion—Davis, Houston and Johnson. All we pedagogues are in a state bordering on nervous prostration, because of the near-approach of school opening. No one knows what's up the sleeves of the school officials. I just dropped around to see Captain Oyster on my way to market the other day, but failed to find him in, or if he was in he was not "in to me". I thought I would play the Sherlocko stunt and see if I could get anything from the Captain to give me a line on what is to be. Several times I have gone to see the Captain, and each time I get that same old information—"not in". Well, I don't blame him much. Captain Oyster can't sell much butter and cheese if his place was filled with a lot of Ham-related pedagogues. I saw Henry Clay Tyson slip in there the other day. Course he was "just passing, that's all", and I imagine that he was working on that school board membership puzzle. Well, there are about fifty-two applicants for the place. Some are pretty good representatives, some are average pill merchants, some are "just middling to fair", and a few of them just naturally "stink" as desirable timber And that just reminds me that Richard Ruyan Horner is laying his plans for reappointment one year hence You'll have to hand it to this Warrenton centipede that he is always busy, and you can never tell at what point he will turn up. If they ever offer a prize to the fellow that can keep the most people guessing the oftentest, why Horner will take the prize in an easy dog trot. But coming back to this school board membership, seems to me some of the candidate have monumental nerve to aspire for it. This ain't no two-by-twice position. It ain't no gravel bank. It's a high, honorable place that ought to go to some man who has at least been sprinkled with respectability, and who at least has got sense enough to put on an overcoat when the mercury is hitting it up around 40 degrees below zero. In the light of recent events, I want to sneeze it to you quietly, in the sanctity of your inner chamber, that whenever you start out to whip an editor, always examine your muscles first, and also first take a mental measurement of the editor. I heard this week that a certain erudite gentleman with a cognomen that has been handed down from early Maryland settlers, strolled into an editor's office the other day, with all the nonchalence and sang froid, and naiveness of Sir Jack Johnson, when he entered the josting list to encounter the honorable Jeems Jeffrey, and stoically and calmly informed the editor that he was going to put him hors de combat. Well, this particular editor, following the example set by Turin at Charters, or some other sea port inlet, just cleaned up on the erudite gentleman with a Maryland fry name. You know that little refrain which runs like this: "Johnnie get your gun and your sword and pistol." Well, my advice to humptuous bits of diteness is to be sure and take along your gun, sword and pistol when next you go to whip the editor, and be sure you take "along some one who can use them. When Addison was writing for The Spectator, and a lofty individual casually dropped in to decorate his blinkers, Addison just smiled and said: "Why, you shrimp! Don't you know I eat shrimps?" SCHOOL VACATION OVER- UNION UNIVERSITY FOR YOUNG MEN—NEWS, ETC. Richmond, Va., Sept. 16, 1912. Vacation is over and the public schools of Richmond open for the session of 1912-1913 tomorrow morning. The teachers have returned from their vacations well rested and prepared for their work. During the vacation, several teachers were married; these resigned and their positions have been filled. With these few exceptions, all the teachers of last session will be on hand for duty tomorrow, as they were all re-elected. Richmond elementary and grammar schools are all that can be desired for both races, but in the colored high school, there is a woeful condition of affairs. None of the modern languages are taught, neither is Latin. There are no business nor commercial courses taught, and at the end of the four years course, the student gets a diploma, stating that she is "qualified to teach in the Public Schools of Virginian." The school authorities have refused or failed to include business and commercial courses in the colored high school, while they are taught in the white high schools, as are also Latin, French, German and Spanish. In Richmond, there are two banks, three insurance companies, a half dozen or more large fraternal organizations, to say nothing of the individual business and professional men, which employ fully half a thousand clerks, stenographers, typewriters, bookkeepers, expert accountants, etc., and in face of the fact that these people have to go outside of the city to secure clerical help in many instances, the school authorities knowing this, refuse to make it possible for colored students in the public schools to obtain such a practical education as will fit them for this work. Virginia Union University (Baptist) for young men; Hartshorne Memorial College (Baptist) for young women, and the Van de Vyver Institute (Catholic) for both sexes include these studies in their courses, and scores of our young people on finishing the grammar schools, enter these institution or go to the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Peterburg to secure training in these studies. It is a disgrace to Richmond city that such a condition exists in its public schools that forces the parents of the colored children to pay, to give their children such an education as that, which the whites get free. There is not a single kindergarten in the colored schools, while there is a score or more in the white schools. St. Phillips' Parish Kindergarten (Protestant Epicopal) supplies this need, but here, too, the expense is upon the patron, who is a taxpayer, and not upon the city. Richmond is on the verge of a great change in its municipal management. A commission form of government is to be inaugurated the beginning of the next year. The Democrats held a primary last Tuesday for the purpose of nominating two candidates for the first administrative board to be voted for in the election to be held in November. Under the new primary law enacted by the last Legislature, colored Democrats should have been allowed to participate in the primary had they so desired, and there were a few headed by Giles B. Jackson, a Negro Democrat of long standing, who offered to vote, but were turned down because they were not white Democrats and not a mother's son of the Negro Democrats voted. There are about a thousand qualified Negro voters in Richmond, many of whom were deeply interested as to the character of the men who would be selected to manage the city's finances for the next four years, and they were right interested as the Negroes of Richmond pay taxes on $3,393,243 worth of real and personal property. As the Negro here is called upon only once in every four years (Presidential year) to vote their being to the Republican party, except on such occasion, many of the qualified Negro voters would have cast their ballot in the primary with the best element of the whites, and by so doing, would have succeeded in electing a board representative of the best interests of the community rather than of the partisan political set who are but parasites on the city. Being denied the right to vote in a democratic municipal primary, it remains to be seen that Giles B. Jackson and his alleged Wilson and Marshall Negro followers will do in the general election next November. the first of the fall season and one of the prettiest home weldings to be solemnized in Richmond, was the marriage of Miss Julia Irene Stephens to Mr. William Gordon Thurston, of Cleveland, O., Tuesday morning, September 10th in the home of the bride's family in West Duval Street. Mr. George St. Julien Stephens, elder brother of the bride, gave her in marriage. Mr. Edward W. Stephens, a younger brother, was best man. Lit- the Sallie Irene Austin, niece of the bride, was license bearer. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, of the First Baptist Church, pastor of the bride. Mrs. Joseph St. J. Gilpin played the wedding march. After the marriage, a reception was held. The bride was a teacher in the Richmond public schools, and was prominent in literary and art circles and church and society work, being president of the Friday Evening Art and Literary Society, superintendent of the primary department of the First Baptist Church Sunday school, president of Matron Board of the Juvenile Department of the Independent Order of St. Lukes, and chairman of the executive board of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Virginia. The groom is a native of Virginia, and was for several years a ministerial student at Virginia Union University. His home is in Cleveland, where he is pursuing his studies at night and is head waiter at the Forest City House. Mr. and Mrs. Thurston were the recipients of many valuable and useful presents. They left Tuesday at noon for their home in Cleveland. Miss Willie A. Winston and Mr Mitchell L. Jackson were married in Washington, Saturday the 7th, by the Rev, Dr. Walter H. Brooks, in the parsonage of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. A reception will be tendered Mr. and Mrs Jackson this evening in the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Winston, of W. Baker Street. The Virginia branch of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, will hold its annual session in Third Street A. M. E. Church, the Rev. S. S. Morris, pastor, October 8-11. Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia, and many prominent missionaries of Virginia will be present and deliver addresses. The week just past has been one of much social activity in our village life here, as well as lively interest in church work and entertainment. The Sunday school of Galloway M. E. Chapel gaye an all-day outing to the "Zoo," carrying one hundred and seven members and friends. They report a delightfully spent day. On last Friday night the Sunday school of Second Baptist Church, under direction of Miss Gracie Ambrose, the secretary, gave another nail driving contest entertainment in the church basement, which was a success. The little Misses Campbell, together with Mrs. Josephine Johnson, assisted Miss Ambrose. Mrs. Johnson treating the entire Sunday school, purchasing the entire lot of refreshments on hand for the same. At the residence of pastor G. W. Powell, D. D., there was quite a family union gathering. Mrs. Powell's mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Foley, and her sisters, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Jackson, with their husbands and children, and Mrs. Mickens and little ones' about fourteen in all, were the guests in the Powell home on Sunday last, coming out from the city for a day's enjoyment of country fresh air and scene. After dinner the guests all repaired to the beautiful drawing room of this elegant village home, where music, in sacred song, became the order of the hour. Here "Reporter" left this happy family to look up other matters. Mrs Anna Marce (née Lee) who paid her mother, Mrs. Lomas Lee, a flying visit last week, has returned to her New Jersey home. Mrs Julia Byrd is spending quite a pleasant time with her parents, Mr and Mrs. A. D. Byrd.

She deserves full support The Third Baptist Church had really reviving services Sunday, under direction of Rev Bowser, their pastor, assisted by Revs. Porter, Lawrence and Gillam Mr. Newton Dixon paid Hunter's Station a flying visit Sunday. Nothing could be more inviting to the worm, weary and worn traveler than Campbell's Cafe, situated in the heart of the village, just two or three doors, cast of Falls Church bank. On Wednesday night, September 18, the Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth open up their country fair at their hall. A gay time is expected. Don't go lame nor barefooted, for Mr George Thomas, the colored shoemaker is still in business near the village corner. Dropsy Treated By Mail Shortness of breath relieved in 24 hours.

He says the enrollment already has outstripped that of any previous year in the school's history. Mr. W. C. Evans, of the Treasury Department, was compelled to cut short his stay at the Atlanta meeting of the B. M. C., because of the serious illness of his son. Dr. S. M. Newman, the new president of Howard University, is entitled to a fair chance. He may surprise his critics by giving the institution a vigorous and constructive administration. The new "pay ward" at Freedmen's Hospital is in full blast, and the accommodations are put to a severe test, even thus early. There is little doubt that Congress will hearken next session to the wise recommendation of Surgeon-in-Chief W. A. Warfield, and appropriate $60,000 for the erection of an adequate building for the care of patients able to pay their way Visitors to Washington do not feel that they have seen the "show places" of the capital unless they have thoroughly inspected this magnificent Freedmen's Hospital. The names of Rev. S. L. Corrothers, president of the National Civil and Political League, and Prof. M. Grant Lucas, of the Washington public schools, were inadvertently omitted from the list of the colored gentlemen who were present at the White House on the day President Taft was formally notified of his renomination Mrs. J. Arthur Jackson (nee Miss Estelle Kennedy), formerly a teacher in our public schools, recently married and located at Charleston, W. Va., is in the city on a brief visit to her parents. She was accompanied home by her sister, Miss Elfrida Kennedy, also a teacher, who had been spending several weeks with her at her Charleston home. Club women here are shocked to hear of the death of Mrs. J. Silone Yates, who passed away a few days ago at her home in Jefferson City, Mo. Mrs. Yates was prominent in the work of the National Association of Colored Women and other uplifting organizations, and has spoken to large audiences here on several notable occasions. Mrs. Jas. E.

Walker, the wealthy manufacturer of hair preparations, is to be here next week to attend the exercises planned by the National Emancipation Commemorative Society, observing the gifteth anniversary of the issuance of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, who delivered one of the very best of the addresses heard at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business League, has been visiting Niagara Falls and New York City. Dr Coleman is at the head of the Hair-Vim Chemical Company, which is doing a "land-office" business. The plant is to be enlarged, and will be the foremost company of its kind in the country. Rev S L. Corrothers is busy these days completing his plans for the expansion of the National Civil and Political League Representative colored men in thirty-seven States have allied themselves with this organization, and through it the race will be able to wield a tremendous influence in the campaign now waxing warm. Dr. Corrothers is a natural leader and has an immense following all over the country. The colored "Bull Moosers" held a rally at Fairmount Heights Wednesday evening Henry V. Plummer presided. Announcement is made of the marriage of Mr. Isaac Hathaway, the well known sculptor, and Miss Hattie Ettice Pamplin, a former teacher of South Boston, Va. The wedding was a quiet affair, taking place April 10 at Rockville, Md., a suburb of Washington. The S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society, of this city, is to show its respect, and voice its regret over the untimely taking off of the great Negro composer, after whom it is named, by holding a public memorial meeting in the near future. The arrangements are in the hands of Prof. John T. Layton, director of the society; Mrs Amanda V Gray, Dr A S Gray, Mr. A F Hillyer, Dr. C Sumner Wormley, E. X. Broadnax and others. Miss Manie F. Chinn is visiting her brother in Philadelphia. Mr. Horace Morris is in Louisville, Ky., closing a summer of "experience" in a first-class pharmacy in the Falls City. He returns in a few days to complete his studies in medicine at Howard University. Misses Effie King and Lottie Gee. "those ginger girls," were in the city Sunday, en route from Newport News and the South, where they have been playing a successful engagement over the Dudley circuit. Miss King goes to Lima, Ohio, and Miss Gee to Cincinnati for a brief period of rest and recuperation. They will play a return date at the Fairyland theater here about the middle of October, bringing a brand-new repertoire. They are both bright girls, and the vaudeville stage knows no "sister team" that can excel them in clean-cut, artistic work. Manager S. H.

A special jubilee number is rendered at each service also, which the audience delights in hearing.

AVIATOR MET DEATH ON HIS LAST FLIGHT Intended to Quit Flying Because of Danger. Howard Gill's death at Chicago in a midair collision of flying machines came after his announced intention of giving up flying. Young Gill had become impressed with the danger of aviation and had already made up his mind to quit. Had he survived the fatal flight he would never have ascended again. Two weeks or more ago, in a letter written to his brother, Royal Gill, he declared that he was through with flying. "It's only a question of time," he said, in effect. "I'm going to quit before it rets me." Under the care of the brother to whom he wrote these words, his body is being brought to his family in Baltimore. It will be taken immediately to the home of his brother, M. Gillet Gill, at Roland Park, where the funeral will be held. Mrs. Alice Gill, mother of the daring young aviator, arrived in Baltimore from Atlantic City, where she had been since the early spring. Royal Gill, a brother of Howard, was in Chicago and was present on the aviation field when the accident occurred. Howard Gill seemed born for a life of thrills and sensations. As far back as 1904, when the automobile speed mania first struck the country, he became affected by the craze and has always been anxious to go into all sports where there was a real risk of life. ENTIRE FAMILY SLAIN "Axe Murderer" Strikes Again, and Adds Three More Victims. The notorious murderer, who has slain whole families in Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Oregon, Illinois and other western states with axes, struck again, and exterminated the family of Martin Thompson, six miles east of Council Bluffs, Ia., killing Thompson, his wife and their three-year-old son. As in all other cases, the murderer left no clue. The Thompsons were not noticed around the house. An investigation was made, and three bodies were found lying on the beds, while the walls of the room were spattered with blood. TRAIN KILLS LOVERS For Drive, Young Couple Are Struck at Grade Crossing. Nelson Brubaker, nineteen years of age, the son of Amos Brubaker, on Lawn, near Lebanon, Pa., and his sweetheart, Ada Kaylor, eighteen years old, the daughter of Samuel Kaylor, of near Bachmansville, were instantly killed at the Lawn grade crossing of the Cornwall & Lebanon railroad. They left the Kaylor home for a drive to Elizabethtown, Lancaster county, and were struck by the south bound passenger train. Both were picked up dead. The carriage was demolished. The horse escaped and ran away. Live Wire Saves Aviator. John St. Clair, a Boston aviator, fell while he was making an exhibition flight at a carnival in Letonia, Ohio, and alighted on a naked electric wire carrying 2200 volts. The wire broke his fall. He was placed on a train and hurried to a hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. Clarence Siegfried, aged seventeen years, who took his employer's auto and went on a joy ride, during which two persons were killed, was sentenced to six months in prison in Reading, Pa. Catch 142 Trout a Minute. Fifteen hundred automobilists made a special trip to Saratoga, Wyo., and fished for thirty-five minutes. Five thousand trout were caught in that time. Sailors' Queen Customs The sailors' broad collars were devised so that the powder or tar on the wearer's cues should not come off on the blouses. In those days every sailor wore his hair in a cue and either had the cue powdered or held together by tar. This was not good for the blouse or jacket underneath. So detachable broad collars were added. Sailors stopped wearing cues a century ago. But they still wear the wide collar. When Lord Nelson died the British navy went into mourning for him. Sailors put broad black ribbons on their caps and black ribbons on their blouses. And the ribbons remain to this day not only on the uniforms of British sailors, but on those of other navies as well. The broad "bell shaped" ends of sailors' trousers legs were thus shaped so that the wearer might more easily turn his trousers up above his knees when he had to swab the decks. Deck swabbing was a hateful and supposedly degrading task. Hence the sailors called their enemies "swabs" as a term of contempt. Automatic.Fire Doors. The construction of a fire door and its installation may be standard in every way, but for the door to be of service it must be closed at the time of fire. As employees of a plant cannot always be depended upon to close the doors of the plant, because of panic or other reasons, fire doors should be either self closing or automatic. A self closing door is one which closes by itself as soon as a person has passed through. This door is normally always closed and never should be allowed to be blocked open. The automatic type is used open by means of a weight or catch, which has connected with it a series of fusible links. In cases of fire the solder on one or more of the fusible links melts from the heat, releases the weight or catch, and the door closes. This type of door should be employed wherever it is necessary for the door to be kept open at times, but otherwise the self closing door is preferable. F. P. Walther in the Engineering Magazine. Sartorial Genius. The genius in tailoring accomplishes without effort things that refuse to yield to the most determined efforts of the ordinary mortal. He apparently creates out of nothing. His touch transforms the shape of the customer and the set of the garment. He molds the ungainly form into an Apollo, and the misfit garment falls into natural place in his hands. The lines of his draft are unapproachable, and his system is infallible. He knows just when the shoulder is to be advanced or receded. He understands intuitively just how much the waist is to be suppressed or filled in and how much spring is required. He never makes a mistake, and if the journeyman ruins a garment beyond repair in the making the genius sets it right with a few touches, even though to repair it is beyond the ordinary cutter's skill.—Tallor and Cutter. One Exception. There are so many ways of offending a waiter at a big restaurant, that it seems difficult to think up a new one, but a customer who lunched at a famous hostelry achieved it. Being in a sentimental, contemplative mood, the customer remarked, "I suppose people from every country under the sun dine here, eh?" "It is depressing to reflect on the generations that have sat at these old tables," the customer resumed dreamily. "Old and young, grave and gay, from far and near, rich and poor"—At that point in the reverie the waiter flared up indignantly. "Not poor," he corrected. "It costs money to eat in this place." Then he presented the bill, and the customer agreed that it did.—New York Press. Queer Birds. There are two rare species of birds in the Amazon forests of which no specimens, it is said, have ever been brought away—the "bellbird" and the "lost soul." These names are derived from the effects produced by the cries of the birds, the former having a voice likened to that of a silver bell and the latter possessing the eerie accomplishment of crooning in such a manner as to produce goose flesh on the unfortunate person who bears its song. Lunar Athletics. The "man in the moon" must surely regard with amused contempt our much vaunted athletic records. A good terrestrial athlete could cover about 120 feet on the moon in a running broad jump, while leaping over the barn would be a very commonplace feat. He would find no difficulty in carrying six times as much and running six times as fast as he could on earth, all because the moon attracts bodies with but one sixth of the force of the earth. At Sea. "Isn't the ocean grand and majestic? "Yes, and there is an indelinable something about it that impresses me strangely." "What is it?" "I was just trying to determine. I have it. It's the utter absence of billi- boards."—Washington Herald. "Ian't it about time you returned it?" she replied. -Detroit Free Press. A Little Hairy. "I can't place him just now, but he was some sort of an inside man."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch National Religious Training School THE CITY OF BROOKLYN Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work.

Reckoning Time From the best information we have the calendar came into use 2330 B. C., with a week of seven days and a year of twelve months, named after zodiacal signs. The year consisted of 360 days, which probably suggested the division of the circle into degrees. Astronomical chronology was divided into cycles of 60 years, 600 years and the star, or 3,600 years. The "Observation of Bel," the great Babylonian work on astronomy and astrology, gave a record of eclipses of the sun and moon, conjunctions and phases of some of the planets, the time of the new year and many other scientific problems. Many of the calculations made in this ancient astronomy are of the utmost importance even in our day, and to it is due the era of Nabonassar, one of the most famous in the annals of chronology, the basis of all, the computations of Ptolemy, and the dates in connection with Alexander and Aristotle. Since its epoch, Feb. 26, 747 B. C., it maintained its ground till after the commencement of the vulgar era.—Exchange. "Critics had praised me, academies had granted me exhibition space," said the artist; "still I was modest enough to think that I wasn't any great shakes as a painter. The thing that finally convinced me that maybe I was no dub, after all, was the remark of a woman who knew a good deal more about bargain counters than she knew about art. She studied a picture that had made critics overwork their vocabulary in praising it, and her only comment was: 'My! I'll bet the cloth in that woman's tea gown cost every cent of $2.50 a yard.' Just as a matter of curiosity I looked up my model and found that the dress she wore had cost just that a yard. Then I knew that I had been gifted with the divine fire. To depict values so faithfully that experienced shoppers can tell the cost of the cloth you paint seems to be hitting old art up at a pretty lively gait."—New York Press.

THE ASTORIA PHARMACY Fresh Drugs. H. K. FULTON'S LOAN OFFICE A Lighting the House of Commons. The house is very often sparing of the gas bill, remarks the Manchester Guardian. 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 galleries 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, slr," 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. Tht 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." The peasantry of Greece firmly believe that the future of every child is determined by three fates, known as the Moral. The trio is supposed to be three old and wrinkled women who dwell in a mountain cave and who come simultaneously to the house in which a new baby has made its appearance. In order that their aged and uncertain feet may not be hindered, all furniture is carefully set aside, and honey, cakes, bread and wine are set out so that the important though invisible guests may refresh themselves. If the household is sufficiently wealthy to possess a little real money, this, too, is placed on the table with the food. All things, good and bad, are in the hands of the three fates: On no account must the child's beauty be alluded to at the time when the visitors might be present. To do so would cause its good looks to instantly disappear. Nothing must be said to annoy or displease the Moral, and this makes the situation a bit difficult, as no one is quite sure what might or might not displease them. David Garrick's Realism In deplicting moments of mental anguish, disorder and passion David Garrick was unequaled. "I liked him best in 'Lear,'" says a contemporary. "His saying in the bitterness of his anger, 'I will do such things—what they are I know not,' and his sudden recollection of his own want of power were so pitilable as to touch the heart of every spectator. The simplicity of his saying, 'Be these tears wet? Yes, faith!' putting his finger to the cheek of Cordella and then looking at his finger, was exquisite." And in reference to the same character, another tells us: "He rendered the curse so terribly affecting to the audience that during the utterance of it they seemed to shrink from it as from a blast of lightning. His preparation for it was extremely affecting; his throwing away his crutch, kneeling on one knee, clasping his hands together and lifting his eyes toward heaven presented a picture worthy of the pencil of a Raphael."—"David Garrick and His French Friends." Strength of a Spider's Web. When taking into consideration the materials employed, the size of the insect and the thickness of its thread the web of a spider is almost incomprehensibly strong. Late experiments have shown that a single thread of a web made by a spider, which weighed fifty-four milligrams, supported endwise a weight of four grams, or seventy-four times the weight of the spider itself. When a spider splits a web to let himself down from the ceiling or from the branch of a tree we may be certain that he is in no danger of falling, but that he could carry many more of his kind on the same thread. The threads of the web when interwoven and re-enforced one by another have a very considerable strength and are able to hold bees and wasps, themselves very powerful in proportion to their size, and to bend without breaking under a weight of dew and rain. Under the Carriage Wheels. Furious driving was one of the charges brought against the French aristocracy at the revolution. Said Mercer: "In Paris the people are weak, pallid, stunted—a class apart from other classes in the state. The rich and the great who possess equipiles enjoy the privilege of crushing them or of mutilating them in the streets. Hundreds of victims die annually under the carriage wheels." "I saw," wrote another observer, Arthur Young, "a poor child run over and probably killed and have myself many times been blackened with mud. If young noblemen in London were to drive their chalises in the streets as their 'brethren do at Paris they would speedily and justly get very well thrashed or rolled in the kennel." Fish That Take Cold. Fish are not equipped to combat rapid changes in temperature because the temperature of the water in the ocean, lakes and rivers beneath the surface remalus virtually stable. Some fish, such as carp and trout, when taken from warm water and placed in water several degrees colder take cold. The cold attacks the skin and the flus, and various portions of the skin present a cracked, ridgelike appearance. If returned to warm water the fish usually recover, but sometimes the disease, which seems to be a sort of eczema, eats into the muscles of the fish and proves mortal.-New York Sun. The Beard In Tunis. In Tunis when a reigning prince finds it necessary to go outside his immediate family to choose his successor he follows an odd custom. There the wearing of hair on the face is the exclusive privilege of sovereignty. When the prince selects a successor he sends the court barber to the fortunate individual to notify him that he may wear a beard. This intimation is equivalent to a formal announcement that he has been selected as the heir presumptive. Awful Fix. "She's just counted up and found she's refused a dozen offers of marriage, and now, though she's crazy to marry Dick, she's afraid to accept him because he's the thirteenth."—Boston Transcript.

Smith permits the carriage to get away from the last printing point so instantaneously that no speed of operation is too rapid. The hair trigger touch of the ball bearing type bars, a carriage that is never shifted for capitals, a capital shift key requiring only one-third ordinary pressure, a combined one-motion carriage return and line space, which spaces one, two or three lines with the same sweep, and the lightest possible carriage tension—give an case of operation that makes all day speed easy for the operator. The always rigid carriage, stationary printing point, the arrangement of ribbon shift and back space keys, and the fact that no necessary operation takes the hands from the writing position, combines speed with accuracy in the L.
