VOL. XXXIII NO18 REV.BISHOP JOHNSON REV.BISHOP JOHNSON REV. W. BISHOP JOHNSON ON THE EMANCIPATION. Was It a Failure? How People Listened to the Great Orator. "Was the Emancipation of the Negro a Failure?" was the subject of a sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. Bishop Johnson at the Second Baptist Church. Third Street, N. W., Sunday, September 22, 1912. Dr. Johnson said: We have no apology for this occasion nor for this day. We pause, in the midst of our busy lives to take a retrospect, marking the peculiar trials and triumphs of the past; to indulge in circumspection, noting the wonderful and transforming processes of racial development, going on around us, in every section of this great country, where the sable form of the Negro, plants its foot—from Maine's tall pines and crags of snow, to where Magnolia's blossoms blow. From the turbulent Atlantic, to the peaceful Pacific and to sweep our vision, prospectively, across the dark waters of the future; to new and greater achievements; to higher standards of life, and to the place among the American people; where the best type of morality, patriotism, intelligence and religion will freely and surely give us our rightful heritage. The Emancipation Proclamation was the birth-right of the American Negro, and he would be the basest of ingrates if he ever allowed himself to forget what a peculiar song of triumph it sings to him. May his right hand forget its cunning and his tongue cleave to the roof of his mouth if he forgets the sacred and priceless sacrifice that was laid upon the altar of this Republic, to purchase the eternal liberty of 4,000,000 slaves, and secure that freedom to all their descendants, until time shall die, and eternity be born. It has been asserted by demagogues and pessimists that the emancipation of 4,000,000 slaves was a failure. Let us see: Speak. history—"Who are life's victors? Unroll thy long annals and say: Are they those whom the world called victors who won the success of the day? The martyrs a Nero? . The Spartans who fell at Thermopylae's tryst; Or the Persians and Exeres? His judges or Socrates? Pilot or Christ?" The emancipation of the slaves was the most equitable and humane fact recorded in American history. Nothing has occurred in the long and eventful history of the Republic like the breaking of slavery's shackles from the souls and bodies of the American bondsmen. It affected the American people, legally, morally, sociologically and spiritually as no other thing had done or has done since. It was the culmination of a long series of struggles between national self-respect, national purity of conscience and national greed and selfishness. It was the harvest reaped from the sowing of a handful of corn in the Dutch slave vessel that landed on the quiet banks of the James river in 1620. It was a clear demonstration of the truth of God: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." It was the hand of God in human history, mysteriously but surely, putting the nations in positional eminence, to play the mighty part it has since in the world's history. It brought the nation to itself—back to the historic circumstances that gave it birth; it put each American citizen in the balance and weighed him—some were found wanting in the sterling qualities of truth and justice, which are always the larger element of the highest and best type of manhood. Some trembled before the test of patriotism against sordid selfishness; sectional hatred, intensified by narrow statesmanship, and a mental imbecility, that did not comprehend the vastness and sublimity; the justice and equity; the stupendous position in the divine economy the American Republic was to play among the nations of the earth. They could not sing with the immortal Longfellow: With all its hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate." Call the emancipation of the slaves a war-measure, if you please, it nevertheless remains unurpassed as the most sagacious piece of statesmanship, the most humane and equitable measure, ever promulgated. Have the events, succeeding the happy day which emancipation ushered to the American people justified the wisdom of Mr. Lincoln's course, or do we find the opposite to be true. Forty-nine years have elapsed; the American Negro, while hampered by prejudice, poverty and proscription, has had time enough to show himself a blessing or a curse. Have the conditions of freedom exhausted him? Has he assimilated as a man and a citizen? Does he contribute anything fundamentally valuable to the nation? Does he antagonize the just ideals and traditions of the American people? Has he not shown, everywhere, a restlessness with his condition and a marvelous reaching out after intelligence, morality and religion? Has he allied himself against good government, against the peace and good order of any community? In every walk of life, from the plodding agriculturist to the profound scholar and eminent statesman, does he not show himself a blessing to the nation and does not all of this show that Mr Lincoln was right in breaking the chains that enslaved him and turning his face to the rising sun? The last census places the Negro population at 10.000.000. This is a number not to be ignored when we find them speaking the same language; following the same customs; mingling in the same community; competing in the same markets; sitting in schools, colleges and universities, studying the same text-books and mastering the same problems; participating in the same government and by their own published books, magazines and newspapers, making public sentiment upon the same questions of politics and religion, as the Caucasian race. "Here stands the Negro, nature's outcast, child Scorned by his brethren, but his mother's eye mother's eye That gazes from her warmest sky. Sees in his flexible limbs, untutored grace Power on his forehead; beauty in his face, Sees in his breast where lawless passions rove The heart of friendship, and the home of love: Sees in his mind where desolation reigns. Fierce as his clime, uncultured as his plain. A soil where virtue's fairest flowers might shoot. And trees of science bud, with glorious fruit. Sees in his soul, involved with thickest night. An emanation of eternal light." An enanation of eternal light. He is interwoven into the being of the nation; in its life blood, its homes and schools; its industries and enterprises; its victories and defeats. Its legislatures cannot enact a law; the courts render a decision; its political parties gain a victory, without considering him. Its learned professions, its classic lore, its poetry and music, its oratory and literature are all affected by the brother in black. He is a permanent element in American national life, not dangerous to her well being, because he is Christian and progressive; not vicious, because he is industrious and rapidly becoming intelligent; not a pauper, because a tax M. PRESIDENT W. B. JOHNSON. The Great Pulpit Orator Who is Supporting President Taft payer on over $900,000,000 in property; owning 1,833,757 separate homes, to say nothing of the valuation of his educational institutions and churches. The last census shows that 39 per cent. of all the cotton was raised by him, on his own plantations and the other 61 per cent. on the plantations owned, in part or in whole, by other people. He is unquestionably: the agriculturist of the south. He owns an acreage in tobacco, cotton, rice, sugar of 548,894. He owns 200,000 farms. In twenty-seven occupations he is employing 3,807,008 of his own people, or 45.2 per cent. of the whole race. He has standing against him 44.5 per cent. of the illiterates of his own people. He has contributed the flower of Negro youth in every war waged by the American people. He has a history for patriotism, that was written in the crimson tide that flowed from the body of Cri-pu Attucks; and offered its living sacrifices, battle of Lake Erie, at Fort Pillow, Fort Wagner, and before Petersburg, as well as amidst the howling dying upon the smoking battlefields of El Caney and San Juan Hill. After showing the progress of the race, in acquiring property and establishing schools and churches, he said that in the Civil War 1789-97 Negroes were employed and in 1866 congress made Negro regiments a part of the regular army. He paid a tribute to the 10th cavalry, which saved Theodore Roosevelt at Las Gusimas. The speaker said this is the same Roosevelt that rewarded his saviors with wholesale dishonorable dismissal from the army and snow seeks to wreck the party that made him president of the United States. He characterized Mr. Roosevelt as the most dangerous figure in public life and the most consummate political hypocrite in American politics. He judges the whole race by the common Negroes, he once made his willing tools, to secure him place and power. DR. CHAS. MARSHALL WELCOME TO BISHOP Allied With No Faction, But Will Work for the Best Interests of the Schools—He Discountenances Friction and Dissensions—A Man of the People and Popular Among Factions—A High Church Man, Highly Indorsed But Not a Candidate—Made No Effort to Be Appointed. The Unanimous Choice of the Judges. Dr. Charles H. Marshall, the new member of the Board of Education appointed Wednesday afternoon, was the unanimous choice of the six Judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Dr. Marshall is one of the deacons of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, one of the largest and one of the most aristocratic and influential churches in this city. He is a member of the Young Men's Protective League, no doubt the largest fraternal organization in this city. He is also connected with many other influential benevolent associations, who strongly favored his appointment. He is also a high Odd Fellow, and there is no appointment that could be made that would give greater satisfaction. Charles Hubbert Marshall, M. D. was born in Virginia, graduated from the Normal and Academic Department of Wayland Seminary and Union University, in Richmond, Va., and received the Degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Medical Department of Howard University; has practiced medicine in the District for twenty years. He is president of Howard University Alumni Association; member of the board of censors of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia, mem- DR CHAS T MARSHALL The New Member of the Board on Education and Popular With the People. ber of the Executive Board of the National Medical Association; member of the International Tuberculosis Congress at Washington, 1908; member of the Staff of Freedmen's Hospital, and assistant in Clinical Gynecology in Howard University Medical College; deacon of the 19th St. Baptist Church, and chief of the staff of the Free Dispensary of said Church. He owns considerable real estate in the District and in Maryland, his office and residence is 2710 P Street Northwest. He is one of the most unassuming men in public life, and highly esteemed by all who know him. He never made application for the appointment, and neither did he make any fight for it as others did. He was frequently approached by people who was anxious and willing to indorde him, but he always declined their offer. In spite of his protests they would insist on recommending him to the Judges, with this result, Dr. Marshall will work for the best interest of the schools and work in harmony with his associates for the advancement of all the schools and school administration of the present public school system. He has the highest respect and esteem for the president of the Board of Education and the public school officials, and has devoted a great deal of his time in an effort to bring about harmony. Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. One among the best known and the most useful in the National Capital, had a busy day last Sunday, despite the fact that it was raining. At 11 o'clock a splendid audience assembled to hear the sermon. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, the earnest, enthusiastic, brilliant and progressive pastor, delivered a very pointed sermon, at the close of which more than a hundred men went forward and knelt for prayer. At night the church was crowded when the pastor completed his sermon; he extended an invitation to the men present who desired to reconsecrate their lives to God to stand; more than two hundred (200) men arose and came forward and presented themselves to the Lord. The pastor, officers and members will begin Sunday morning, October 6th, to celebrate the fifty-eighth (58) anniversary of the organization of Galbraith Church. The exercises will cover a period of fifty-eight days. The membership has been divided into seventy-five groups. The exercises will open Sunday morning, October the 6th, at 11 o'clock A. M. The first sermon will be preached upon the subject, "The Unlimited Possibilities of Faith in God." You should hear this great preacher. The public is invited. BISHOP THIRKIELD WELCOMED TO NEW ORLEANS. From the Southwestern Advocate If Bishop Thirkield desired an assurance of confidence and a pledge of co-operation in the new and difficult work which the church has given him, he had it in abundance in the welcome reception tendered him last week by the people of New Orleans. Our colored Methodists had their chance at the Bishop Wednesday evening, September 18, and, the reception was all that their warm hearts could make it. It was a testimonial to the twenty-five years of work that Bishop Thirkield had rendered, among us, as well as a welcome reception. The Bishop did not come among strangers. He was coming to his own. There were men whom he had directly touched in his great and abiding work at Gannon Theological Seminary. There was a larger test that had probited by his splendid service as Epworth League Secretary, and, later, as Secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society. There was still a larger number who knew him and honored him for his conspicuous leadership for higher education at Howard University. All knew him, and none knew him but to love him. In spite of a heavy rain in the early evening and the continued threatening of the skies, the crowds gathered at Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, formerly Simpson Memorial, the Rev. W. Scott Chinn, pastor. The churche was packed. The city was stirred. Denominational lines were forgotten and Baptists, African Methodists and Catholics view with the DR W. R. THIRKIELD Given a Royal Reception. Methodist I pre-copalians to do honor to the new Bishop. The church was elaborately decorated with hanging ferns, palms and the National colors. Loving hands had spared no pains to make the large auditorium presentable. Then there was a United Choir of more than a hundred voices, under the leader-hip of Prof. M, S. Davage. The first note was "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," to the time of Miles Lane. It was a note of confidence and a prophecy of triumph. Later on in the program the choir and congregation sang: "Stand, Up, Stand Up, for Jesus," in the martial air written by Geibel. "Onward Christian Soldiers," was sung with a vim, and then "The Fight Is On." Every song was a hymn of action. The hosts had come to fall in behind their new leader. The music was one of the outstanding features of the evening. The New Orleans Preachers' Meeting gave direction to the reception. Every feature of the meeting was carefully planned and carried out Dr. J. F. Marshall announced the opening hymn. The Rev. H. Daniels led in prayer. The scripture lesson was read by the Rev. J. O. Richards. Then the Rev. B. J. Reddix announced the second hymn. Then followed six brief addresses of welcome which, for appropriateness, subject-matter, style of delivery and sincerity equaled any similar addresses to which we have ever listened. Dr. B. M. Hubbard, as president, spoke for the New Orleans Preachers' Meeting. Attorney F. B. Smith spoke for the laity. The Rev. J. J. Obee spoke for the Louisiana Conference. Brother Obee's address was a gem. Dr. H. N. Brown, of Mobile, Ala., the first graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary, spoke for the Central Alabama Conference. Dr. J. C Houston represented Miss-ippi, and President M. W. Dogan brought greetings from the empire State of Texas. Bishop Thirkield followed in a timely address. He announced no special program, but delivered a whole-souled message, on high lines. He said he had come, "not to visit or stay a while, but to live in New Orleans." The Bishop's past life marks him as a man of one work, and in every task he has given himself to it with a fidelity that charmed his constituency and thrilled the church. If, in any quarter of the Church, there is a suspicion that Bishop Thirkield will not measure up to the expectations of the Church, let that suspicion die immediately. The Bishop's whole life has been linked with the work which the church has given him. We have received him with open arms and we are sure he will not fail us. As if to add romance to the occasion, two new missionaries for Africa were present. They were the Rev. and Mrs. J. D. Pointer. They are come from our Southern white membership. The Bishop introduced them in the midst of his address. Well, that audience showed its appreciation of the sacrifice that Mr. and Mrs. Pointer were making by giving them a demonstration that we shall not soon forget. A beautiful ceremony of the evening was the presentation of a large bouquet of roses to the Bishop on behalf of the United Choirs-by Prof. Davage. With the benediction by the Rev. J. D. Pointer, one of the most remarkable demonstrations in the history of our New Orleans Methodism came to a close. The Committee on Arrangements consisted of: R. E. Jones, chairman; M. C. Harrison, secretary; R. C Worsham, treasurer; V. Chapman, R. F. Long, F. Walker, J. W. Turner, D. S. Sloan, William Robinson, B. M. Hubbard, T. B. Cooper, M. S. Davage, J. F. Marshall, J. A. Lindsay, W. C. Haywood, W. Scott Chinn, A. B. Harris, B. N. Stewart, T. A. Brown, C. S. Stanley, A. Jones, R. P. Threlkeld and I. A. Landry. On Monday evening previous, Bishop Thirkield was welcomed by our white Methodists in St. Charles Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. G. B. Hines, presided. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Dr. R. T. Fuller, the Rev. W. A. Moers, of the Southern German Conference, and Mayor Behrman, of New Orleans. Bishop Thirkield responded in a stirring address. During his first Sunday in New Orleans Bishop Thirkield preached in St. Charles Avenue Church (white), in the morning, and in our Wesley Church at night. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Fiftieth Golden Jubilee Anniversary. Great Speeches by Eminent Men. Interesting Exercises. The 50th anniversary of the First Baptist Church will begin to-morrow. Rev Ricks has been a success since he has been in charge of this church. The church was organized by Rev.

Alexander came to this city from Fredericksburg, Va., he went to Georgetown, where he only found two Baptists, Collins. Williams and his wife; he began work with those two, and today this church is one of the largest in Georgetown. The Bee is informed that a small frame structure was erected, called the "Ark." This church has an interesting history, and since Rev. Ricks has been pastor no man has made greater progress than he has. The Jubilee will begin to-morrow morning at 6:30, and continue until November 3d, and some of the most eminent speakers in this country will take part. CHAIRMAN HILLES NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 31.

Not being acquainted with the bathing habits of humming birds, I put out an abalone shell as the most artistic bathing dish for her, but never to my knowledge did she pay the least attention to it. One morning in the midst of a shower, however, she crouched down on the wet blade of a dogwod leaf and with head outstretched and rapidly fluttering wings spattered the raindrops in every direction. She went from leaf to leaf until she had succeeded in getting her feathers very wet; then she perched on a twig, shook off the drops and carefully preened her feathers. It is not improbable that in the absence of rain humming birds use the dewdrops in early morning. In closer captivity this bird bathed in a gladiolus blossom. Hereafter a pitcher plant is to be used. A humming bird which was accustomed to drinking sweetened water from a spoon one day found water in the spoon instead of sweets, whereupon she at once alighted on the edge and took a bath.—Katherine E. Dolbear in Atlantic Monthly Claude Duval. This gallant robber of men's purses and ladies' hearts was of French extraction. Duval became so rich with his ill gotten gains that he was enabled to retire from the profession and return to France. But a quiet life, free from the excitement of his old career, did not agree with his adventurous spirit. He returned again to England and resumed his avocation. At length he was captured at the Hole in the Wall, in Chandos street. While in prison awaiting his doom many ladies of position visited him and endeavored to obtain his release, but justice was inexorable, and he was hanged at Tyburn in January, 1670. His epitaph in St Paul's church, Corvent Garden, speaks of him as "Old Tyburn's glory. England's illustrious thief," and tells us: Here lies Duval. Reader, if male them art. Look to thy purse; if female, to thy heart. Muck-house has been made of wood. -St. James' Gazette Still Lively.

The glaciers united to form the great Gorner glacier above Zermatt have a width of ten miles. Soon after they have joined the width is reduced to two miles and farther on to one mile. The depth of the glacier is, of course, increased when its width is diminished. Swiss glaciers have been bored to a depth of 800 feet without reaching the bottom, and, small as they are compared with the great glaciers of the glacial age, it is calculated that they attain in places a depth of 2,000 feet. There is enough solid ice in the great Gorner glacier to build three cities the size of London. There are about 1,500 glaciers in Switzerland, some of which unite with one another as they descend, and the total area they cover is over 1,000 square miles, with an average thickness difficult to estimate, but probably not overestimated at 250 feet. The Bread of Mexico: Tortilla is the universal substitute for bread in Mexico. It is a flat cake made of coarse cornmeal and baked on a hot sheet of iron or a slab of stone. The poorer classes of Mexico use the tortilla not only as a food, but make it serve also as fork and spoon. It is folded into a sort of scoop and used in eating beans, thick soup, rice, hash or anything else usually lifted to the mouth with fork or spoon. Many of the poorer classes are not accustomed to the use of knife, fork or spoon. Tortillas are sold in large quantities in the market fresh and hot at six for a cent. They are considered a very nourishing article of food. Many laborers do a long, hard day's work on a diet of tortillas, beans, chili sauce and black coffee. Pronunciation. There is a story that Tennyson, hearing at a dinner party somebody pronouncing knowledge with a long o, jumped up from the table, rushed at his fellow guest and shook hands with him. "Among the faithless faithful, he" he exclaimed, and he proceeded to denounce in vehement terms the iniquitous misprunciation of the English language. It is remembered that a greater English poet-Byron, to wit—did not agree with him, as a couplet in "Dou Juan" shows: No, no: I'd send him out betimes to college. For there it was I picked up my own knowledge. Bad For Tall Hats. New Year's eve, which is sacred to St. Sylvester, is celebrated in Berlin by the blowing of tin horns, the ringing of bells and all other devices for making a noise. The only horseplay indulged in is at the expense of the wearer of the silk tile. Any one on the street is privileged to bring his case down on the crown of the offending headgear as hard and as often as he can. When the man with the tilapidated hat complains to the police the only consolation he gets is. "It serves you right for wearing it on Sylvester night." Feminine Finance. A poor lady whose husband had just failed was beemoaning the fact. "At any rate," she said as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "the Brown failure was worse than ours." "How so?" said one who knew that her husband's smashup had been terrible. "Why," she said. "we only failed for 5 cents on the dollar, whereas Mr. Brown failed for 55." "Do you believe that all men are created equal?" "I used to before I was married." "And now?" "Now I find that I can't begin to compare with other women's husbands."-Detroit Free Press.

In the wardroom, where the officers and mildshipmen dine, the commander does not sit at the head of the table. That place is reserved for the president of the mess. The commander invariably sits at his right hand, while the former changes every month. Evening dress is a steadfast rule, so much so that the man who has to take a watch after dinner and who has no time to change sits at a table by himself. The toast of "The King" in the navy is drunk sitting. Tradition has it that a certain king once proposed a toast and, jumping up, hit his head against a beam above. Orders were given, the story goes, that all toasts were in future to be drunk sitting. The "middy" on a warship is just like a fag at a public school, with the officers as his prefects or monitors. Midshipmen have to make themselves generally useful to the latter.—London Answers. Burning Cold. One who has been reared in either the temperate or tropic zones and who is unaquainted with the mysteries of the chemical laboratory can hardly imagine a degree of cold that would reduce the temperature of any known substance to that point where, if the hand were brought in contact with it, the result would be the same as if he had received a burn. But that such things are possible are well known to chemists and other experimenter-One noted experimenter with liquid air gases, which require wonderful degrees of cold for their success, say that a heat burn is a luxury when compared with burns he has received from cold substances. A drop of liquid gas on his hand made a bluish blister which changed into an ulcer which did not heal for six months, while a heat burn five times as large healed in twelve days.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Tenor and His Beard. Mario, the famous tenor, was excessively proud of his fine beard. One day in Russia, where he had become the favorite of the court, the Emperor Nicholas ordered him to sing in an opera dealing with an episode in the eighteenth century and necessitating a clean shaven face. Mario refused to obey. "The emperor became angry. It was in vain that the empress tried her arts of persuasion. Mario was in flexible. "I am ready," he said, "to give my life for your majesty, but not my beard—never!" Nicholas would not stand any crossing of his will. "Sing or go?" he said. Without more ado Mario threw up all his engagements, packed his trunks and went. Buttons and Women's Clothes "Why does a woman button her garments on the left side?" The question is discussed in the London Tailor and Cutter by several correspondents, one of whom advances this theory: "For ladies to have the buttonholes in the right side of their garments has its origin in the times when it was necessary for a lady when going out at night to have a gentleman escort, who supported her upon his left arm, leaving his right or sword arm at liberty. Thus the lady's left hand would be free to fasten or unfasten her cloak at her own pleasure and without inconvenience." --- Charles V. of Spain, like Louis XV! of France, was particularly fond of timepieces and had a decided taste for mechanics. When in Germany he invented a carriage for his own accommodation, and after his abdication he would amuse himself in making little puppets--soldiers performing their exercise, girls dancing with their tame bourines and little wooden birds that would fly in and out of the window Sam Houston's Retort. General Sam Houston was a master of stump speaking and bitter invective. Once while addressing a large audience he was interrupted and asked what he thought of a certain politician. Without hesitation he replied. "He has every characteristic of a dog except fidelity." Advantages of Kilts The London Tailor and Cutter observes with its usual keen insight into human nature: "No one has yet suggested the utility of kilts. They never bag at the knees, nor do they ever require patching at that part, and their hygienic properties are proverbial." Fixing the Value. Jones—So the price of that "old master" is $5,000. It doesn't look to be worth $10. Art Dealer—Yes, but remember it was painted in 1249. Just think what $10 at compound interest would amount to for that length of time—Exchange. Helping the Cause She-I am almost baked. I have been shut up in a close, stuffy room for two hours. He-What was the occasion of that? She-A meeting of our Fresh Air society.-Lippincott's Magazine. A Catty Retort "My husband considered a very long time before he proposed to me. He was very careful." "Ah, it's always those careful people who get taken in." He will never accomplish anything who dreams of what he will do instead of showing what he can do. Beethoven in his maturity would have been glad if he could have destroyed some of his early works, among them the septet and the song "Adelaide," the great popularity of both of which annoyed him because he had written so much better things for which he would have preferred that popularity. It now seems that he was not pleased with "Adelaide" at the time when he composed it. Richard Batka has found an anecdote indicating that this was the case in the memoirs of Beethoven's friend Pixis, who died in 1874. A man named Barth, who had a beautiful tenor voice, one morning called on Beethoven. He found him in a bad humor, on the point the moment the visitor entered of tearing up a manuscript. Barth asked him what was the matter, and Beethoven answered, "Oh, I wanted to write a song, and I succeeded in finishing it. but now I don't like it and want to destroy it." "Let me look at it," exclaimed the tenor. He sat down at the piano and sang it at sight so effectively that the composer's face beamed with joy. A fortnight later this song—it was "Adelaide"—was being sung all over Vienna. Banting on Banting. William Banting, who has given his name to a verb, held that fat people who want to grow thin should eat five meals a day. In his "Letter on Corpulence," which ran into ten editions and was translated into French and German, Banting states that "low living brings the system into an impoverished state without decreasing corpulence. I have discovered that quality in food is the chief desideratum and that the question of quantity is mere moonshine. I take the most agreeable and savory vlands, meat and game plies that my cook can concoct, with the best possible gravies, jellies, etc., and drink sherry, claret, brandy, gin and whisky. I endeavor, however, to abstain as much as possible from bread, butter, milk, sugar, beer and potatoes." On this regime Banting brought down his weight forty-six pounds in twelve months.—Loudon Chronicle. No Gentlemen Crooks. Dr. Bertillon, the French expert on criminal mensuration, has discredited one of the pet ideas of the novelists and playwrights. The gentleman criminal, he says, does not exist in real life; Arsene Lupin and Rafles are inventions and nothing more. No matter how expensively they may dress or live there is always something which betrays the professional crooks to the trained observer. Crooks, he says, are mostly specialists. And not only do they find it impossible to pass as gentlemen, but gentlemen for the most part would find it exceedingly difficult to make a living as crooks. So it seems that even if a gentleman has all the will in the world to be a crook, or a crook to be a gentleman, early training will prove stronger than desire and the two things cannot be made to mix—New York Sun. Where He Drew the Line The Due de Raguse once explained to the Countess de Boigne the nature of his connection with the emperor by a phrase which is more or less applicable to whole nations. He said: "When the emperor said, 'All for France,' I served with enthusiasm; when, he said, 'France and I,' I served with zeal; when he said, 'I and France,' I served with obedience; but when he said, 'I without France, I felt the necessity of separating from him.'" Argonaut. Squelched. He was trying to make an impression on a pretty nursemaid who had a little boy out in the park. "I wish you were my governe I he simpered. "I'll take those cigarettes away from you and get your hair cut." Then he passed on.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Cheering Her Up Molly- I was so put out and cross at the party last night!

He Minded a Little Bit Hans Christian Andersen, the gentle fabulist, often displayed the caprices of a lovable and sensitive child, whose floods of sunshine are followed by deluges of rain. George Brandes, the Danish critic, told this story of the soft hearted fairy tale writer: "Andersen was a child of the people and never, even in his old age, did he lose his wonderful childlike simplicity which, if it threw the glamour of fairyland over his creations, was never the less not without its amusing side. "He was peculiarly sensitive to criticism of any kind. One day in a cafe a friend noticed that he was reading intently a spiteful criticism of his work written by an unknown scribbler in a newspaper of no account and said to him: "Surely you don't mind what a newspaper like that may say about you?" "Anderson looked up, and the friend saw that tears were rolling down his cheeks. "Yes, he said, hesitatingly, 'I do mind—just a little.'" The Artist's Need. "Do you know what is the great essential to the artist—to whoever creates? The sense of privacy, the power to isolate his own genius from everything in the world, to be absolutely concentrated. To create we must be alone, have strange, unuttered thoughts, just as in the realms of the soul every human being must have moments of complete isolation-thoughts, reveries, moods, that cannot be shared with even those we love best. You understand that?" "At the bottom we human beings come and depart absolutely alone. Friendship, love, all that we instinctively seek to rid ourselves of, the awful solitude of the soul, avail nothing. Well, what others shrink from the artist must seek."—Owen Johnson in Century Magazine. Bismarck's Prophetic Pine Prince Bismarck was a great pipe collector, and the gem of his collection had a curious history. Many years ago Bismarck was accosted by a peddler and asked to buy a plain meerschaum pipe of the type that he most affected. At first he declined, but the peddler claimed for the pipe a power of forecast and told him he would serve three emperors as minister and that three important changes in life would be foretold by accidents befalling the pipe. Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe. He served three emperors, and two days before the historic occasion when he was refused an audience the stem of the pipe fell to pieces. Later he chipped a piece from the side of the bowl accidentally, and within a month his practical dismissal by the emperor occurred. Odd Tips For Lottery Stranger, tips for choosing lottery numbers have been given than ever communications from a deceased aunt. Grant Duff had from Lord Houghton the following in connection with the death of Sir William Stirling-Maxwell in 1875: "When he arrived at Venue on his last journey the hotel keeper, seeing his arrive alone, gave him an in different room, No. 16. When he became ill he was transferred to a better one, No. 8, and, when he became very ill, to the best the man had at his disposal, No. 4. After he died the servants took the numbers 16, 8, 4, added 50, the number which stands, as it appears, for death in the lottery language, and playing on them won 30,000 francs."—London Standard.

Old English Elections As an illustration of the violence that was once common during politic campaigns in England is a quaint bill from a lawyer after an election at Andover in 1768: "To being thrown out of the George inn.

They say you can read character in handwriting," remarked the payling teller of an important branch bank in Harlem, "and I dare say it's true. But I read more in the extraneous matter written on checks that pass through the bank than I do in the signature. I had a sample check today. It was drawn by a saloon keeper and along the margin he had written, 'against prohibition every time.' The size of the check indicated a prosperous man. The fact that he did more than sign his name suggested that he is not over worked or pressed for time. And the nature of the inscription was evidence of a lively sense of humor—of a certain sort. Another check bore this line: "I hate to let go of it." I'll wager something that the writer is a jolly chap and a good companion. But the meanest citizen that indulges in this sort of literature—and he is quite numerous—is the divorced man who periodically writes across a check drawn in his ex-wife's favor the words "for almony," so as to embarrass her in presenting it anywhere. He ought to kicked, you know."—New York Globe Japan's Royal Oxen The black oxen employed to draw the funeral car of the late mikado and of a select genus which for centuries has been employed solely for the use of the Japanese imperial family. No other race of draught animals can show such a record of exquisiteness. the cream colored horses reserved for the English royal family run them close, but some of these had once to wear the yoke of a foreign ruler When Napoleon occupied Hanover he seized all the cream colored horses in the royal stables and took them to Paris. The state carriage at his coronation was drawn by eight of these animals, which the Parisians called "les chevaux cafe au lait." Their employment on this occasion so irritated George III. that he gave up using the others of the breed stabled in London. Until the fall of Napoleon the state coach was always drawn by black horses when George or his son opened parliament.—London Graphite. Resourceful. The resourcefulness of some men at times furnishes a surprise even to those who know them well. A fair illustration is a certain New Yorker of wealth who bought a costly steam yacht. He is very fond of the water, but his chief object in the purchase was to please his wife. Then he found she did not care at all for that sort of thing, and as a result she remained at home whenever he went off on a cruise. His wife died, and after a reasonable period he married again "It's all right now, old man," he said to an acquaintance who congratulated him some time later. "You see, I looked around till I found a woman who would rather live on a yacht than in a house, and I married her. Now the yacht's worth while."—Exchange *Keeping Up With Time* The city chap who had hired out as extra farm hand during the harvest was not quite able to respond to the 4 o'clock pounding on his bedroom door the first morning as promptly as he had anticipated.

Beards and Battles Shaggy locks and patriarchal beards have proved highly incoventient things on the battlefield. Does not history record that Alexander ordered the Macedonians to be shaved lest their beards should give a handle to their enemies? Peter the Great was also a friend of the barbers, for he not only ordered all ranks to be shaven, but caused officers to go about to cut off the beards of offenders by force. Benton Did Not Quarrel A senator in his speech in the senate one day referred to "a quarrel" of Benton's. "Mr. President, sir," said the Missourian, eternity.

REPUBLICANS , NAME HEDGES Nominated For Governor by - State Convention. ROOT ATTACKS ROOSEVELT CaS SY, SSS Vee Fee Ne. “Unsuccessful Litigants.” | Job E. Hedges, New York lawyer, bormer depuy attorney general of the state, was nominated for governor by the Republican state convention at Saratoga, N. Y. In quick succession speeches were made presenting the names and mer- its of foriner Speaker of the Assem- bly James W.

The first ballot resulted in no choice. Hedges’ vote was 387, Wadsworth’s 268, and Bennett's 356. Necessary tor a choice, 50$ votes. The second ballot showed no ma terial change. The third ballot showed marked Hedges gains, but no choice. Several delegates announced that they desired to mahe changes to -Hedges when it was found that he was only about twenty. votes short uf a nomination. The changes were per- mitted, and Hedges was declared the conventiun’s nominee for governor. ‘The convention held a night session, at which the platform was adopted, after a debate that was featured by a Speech of Senator Elihu Root against Colonel Roosevelt. When the vote was taken on New comb’s amendment to the working man's compensation plank it was los overwhelmingly, about six delegates voting with the senator. Newcomb then asked for the adoy tion of his amendment to the direct nominations plank to include state of fices. + . There was applause when Senaro: Root took the platform and defende the planks against amendment. ‘The senator entered on the first at tack of Roosevelt he has ever made Speaking impassionately he said firs’ that the nomination pf Mr. Taft haa been made by meni hohestly seated 10 the Chicago convention and that the cries of fraud had beéx raised by “un successful litigants.” Then, going ou from his uld home, where he had be: 1 protected and defended and honored. this man had sought “to. destroy hi: old home.” * “No ambition or envy could preven the party of Lincoln, of Grant, of Sew ard—aye, and of Roosevelt—from be ing true to its traditions,” he declared For the most part the platform deal: with state issues, but the tariff, wom an’s suffrage, the judiciary, working men’s compensation and the preven tion of corrupt practices in election: are national topics discussed. Unde' the heading, “Choice of Judges,” the platform says: “We denounce the proposal of th so-called Progressive party to choos judges because of their unknown view: " on matters Ithely to come before theu for judiciat action as a travesty ups courts of justice and a denial of thi rights of every citizen.” This is the plank on woman's su: frage: “We tavur submitting to the voter: in 1915 a constitutional amendmen enfranchising Women, unless a constt tutional convention is held = priw thereto, as hercinatter advocated.

It refused to assure protection to the colored Americans in the South or elsewhere against murder, assassination and disfranchisement. It refused to put itself on record in the National Convention which was held in Baltimore, Md., and persistently declined to put anything in its platform to encourage the colored citizen in the South. It continues to adopt laws disfranchising and "jim crowing" colored Americans, regardless of his condition or standing in the country. The paid hirelines of the Negro race who are supporting the Democratic party are enemies and traitors of the Negro race, and should be so regarded. The supporters of the so-called "bull moose" party are equally as dangerous to the republic and the colored people. The repudiation of one section where colored men live and the coquetting with the Northern colored vote are evidences of demagogy and hypocrisy. What can the colored voter expect from either the Democratic or Bull Moose party? Have not both parties declared their enmity to the colored voter in this country? Will intelligent colored men be purchased for thirty pieces of silver? Is the colored race, to be betrayed by their own brethren and sisters who are the paid hirelings of the enemies of a struggling people? The bee warns, the colored voters throughout this country not to be deceived by paid political agents. No honest Negro would conspire with the enemies of his race to enslave his fellow man. Digest the utterances of the three candidates for the Presidency. We shall not consider the many side shows that are in evidence, because we all know what side shows amount to at a circus. President Taft has not only demonstrated by his utterances that he is a friend of the colored citizen, but he has demonstrated the fact by deeds and acts. The attack of the Democratics and "Bull Moose" upon the Catholic Church has been most cowardly. Both parties would like to have the Catholic vote as well as the vote of foreign labor which has been so frequently attacked in Mr. Wilson's book. He never thought that he would ever be a candidate for the Presidency. It is too late for him to explain to the voter now that he didn't mean it. What has Mr. Wilson said in defense of the colored race? He has said that no colored man ever graduated from Princeton while he was president, meaning thereby that he was opposed to the Negro, nothing more, and nothing less. Mr. Roosevelt has no use for the Southern colored man, but in the North he has a vote, hence he is a welcome acquisition to the "bull moose" party. Will the colored man in the North repudiate his helpless brother in the South because he is no longer any use to an ambitious and selfish politicians? Let the Northern and Southern Negro rise or fall together. THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. Now that Chairman Hilles, of the Republican National Committee has designated an advisory committee of colored men to plan and execute the campaign among colored voters, we urge that the work proceed with vigor and dispatch. Only a few short weeks remain between now and election day, and it behooves everyone upon whom rests a responsibility for success, to hustle every moment. The men selected to compose this advisory committee that will plan and execute the work of the campaign are men of unquestioned ability, good standing in their communities, and known for their success in other lines. We congratulate Mr. Hilles on the selection he has made. It is no infant's work that awaits them. It is a big job to organize the forces and direct the work in so short a time as is left in which to perform. The Bee has sufficient confidence in the men composing the advisory committee to believe they will give a splendid account of their stewardship. Every colored man should lend his assistance. The election of President Taft will settle all this agitation about the repeal of the war amendments, and of jim-crow legislation. The election of Woodrow Wilson will start a whirlwind of agitation against the Negro that will be sure to culminate in laws as effectively restrictive for the Negro of the North as are the State laws of the Southern States in withholding from the race the rights which the 14th and 15th amendments confer upon him. The Negro who votes for Wilson deserves to be disfranchised. And, in case Wilson is elected, and the Democrats secure both branches of Congress, restriction of our rights, and probable annulment will follow speedily and sure. Now let every colored man get busy and see that a practically solid colored vote is cast for the Republican candidates. Only in the Republican party can we hope for justice. THE REAL GOODS. There are several spellbinders, among the colored statesmanship contingent in Washington, who, like a restless horse champing at his bit, are eager to get into the fray. Some of them have powerful lungs that preclude the possibility of their voices growing husking. Some have pent up eloquence which, when let loose, will sway a crowd and mow down the opposition like a reaper mows down the ripening grain. Some of them have logic that will cause the confused to see clearly and vote correctly. And some of them have the real interest of their race so as heart that once on the stump they will throw their very self into the work. We commend Washington's colored orators to the Republican Campaign Committee as the real successors of Demostlienes, Ciscero and Paricles. Put them on the stump, and a mighty revolution, a veritable riot of enthusiasm will follow. Send Thomas L. Jones, Prof. W. H. H. Hart, John Collins, Melendez King, James Cobb, and even Prof. Miller into the political arena, and the fear of Democratic success will disappear at doth the mist before the rays of an August sun. Put them on the stump, and Negro Democrats and Negro Bull Moosers will shunk to their holes like a jakel at the approach of a lioness. Put them on the stump and they will pour a hot fire of facts into the enemy with the rapidity, precision and effectiveness of a Maxim gun. All they want is the meeting and the getaway ticket and they will do the rest. We commend to the recently appointed colored Advisory Committee the unsurpassed, unconquered, unequaled colored orators of Washington. They are the real goods, when it comes to spellbinding. OUR WEAKNESS. All nationalities with the exception of the colored Americans, when they want to show to the world what they have done after they have thrown off the yoke of oppression, will make a display of their inventions and successes. For a number of years the Jews were the most despised race in the United States. Today the Jews are the most potent factor in political as well as in the commercial body politic. Take the Jews out of business in this city and the city will put on a garb of holiday. The white scientists will display their knowledge of the human body and give an exhibition of not only of their inventions, but their intricate knowledge of the human system. The colored medical professions have gotten away from the old rut and when they meet they demonstrate their skill of surgery. The would-be colored statesman who is tied down by the blandishments of official positions make every effort to display his oratorical powers and make an effort to show to the world that he knows more than those outside of his vocation in life. The recent meeting of the so-called Negro congress, we must admit and cannot contradict, was a fine display of oratory of local statesmen. There were not a dozen of outside representatives present, but the world was informed that over three hundred visiting states- Follow the Jews. Their examples make monuments. THE SCRAMBLE. The disgraceful scramble for the Board of Education certainly ought to have convinced the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia that persons who make a canvass for the position are unfit to be appointed. The question which seems to agitate the minds of the people is, what is in it? What do they want with the place? What qualifications have they? In the recent contest for the position on the Board of Education, we find men who are applicants educationally unfit for the place. Some would like to be on the board for mercenary reasons, some others for personal reasons, and but a few for the good of the schools. We have about come to the conclusion that the appointing power should be taken from the control of the Judges and placed in the hands of the Commissioners. The Judges haven't the time to give, and if an objectionable person is appointed the Judges have no power to remove him. Congress in this regard made a mistake in not giving the Judges the power to remove as well as to appoint. This fight for the vacancy has been one that has disgusted the people as well as the Judges. HELP THE PARTY. There are several thousand Republicans in this city who are doing well and have been cared for by the Republican party. It is to the interest of all loyal Republicans that President Taft be re-elected, and to continue prosperity. No great campeign can be conducted without funds. National Committeeman Chapin Brown, of the District of Columbia, has appointed a finance committee to collect funds from Republicans and those who are not Republicans, but believe in the principles of the Republican party and are anxious to see the Republican party win. Mr. Brown will receive contributions from all who desire to subscribe. Send check or money order or cash to National Committeeman Chapin Brown. 423 Four-and-a-half Street Northwest. DISCHARGING COLORED EMPLOYEES. At Eleventh and T Streets is a little grocery that has an exclusive colored patronage. It is kept by a little German with more hustle than brains. His help has heretofore been colored, with the exception of the cashier, for he would not trust a colored employee to ring the bell on the cash register. Now he is discharging his colored employees and substituting white employees instead. And we presume the colored people who lack race pride, race interest, and ordinary horse sense will continue to pour their money into the coffers of this man who runs the store and believes colored people will stand for anything. But will they? DR. CHAS. H. MARSHALL. The appointment of Dr. Charles H. Marshall on the Board of Education as the successor of Dr. Tunnell, meets the universal approval of the people in this city, irrespective of color or condition. Dr. Marshall is a young man. Not at all assuming. Not bashful or vindictive. The Judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia could not have made a better selection, as they will see by the conduct of their new appointee on the Board of Education. It is no doubt the most popular appointment that could have been made. The Bee thanks the Judges, congratulates the people and Dr. Marshall. PRESIDENT OYSTER. Next year there certainly will be harmony in the Board of Education. There is no man in this city who is any more friendly and loyal to the colored people than Captain Oyster. He is a friend to the schools and the people. The school administration will find a loyal supporter in Dr. C. H. Marshall. He is a level headed citizen. FREEDOM OF THE SLAVES. The public and those who didn't handle the funds of the Jubilee of the slaves are anxiously waiting for the report of the committee that expended the funds. The people want to know if any salaries were paid and to whom they were paid, and for what purpose. If report is not made soon, The Bee will make such report of facts that are in its possession. A great deal of money was collected, but where it went no one has been able to tell. DR. NEWMAN RESPONDS. There was a vacancy in the library at Howard University. Instead of promoting the young woman already there up, and filling the vacancy by the appointment of another young colored woman, Dr. Newman, of Osler age, brought in a young white woman for the vacancy created. Howard University is distinctively a colored school. The colored trustees thought it better to elect as president, a white man old in age, and short on college experience than pick for the place a colored man long on experience and short on age. And now, believing that he is carrying out the wishes of the trustees who favored his election, Dr. Newman brings in a white young woman to fill a position which by every right of reason ought to go to a member of the same race that makes up Howard's student body. But we predict a short, unsatisfactory tenure for the aged president. Better get your overcoat from your uncle. A tip to the ladies is that white shoes have had their day. If your wife has touched you for the price of a fall hat, you then know what it is to be married. Negro Bull Moosers, properly defined, are those who have not heard that Ormsby McHarg is no longer handling cash for prose-lytes. Candidates for colored member of the school board have been as thick as flies around a molasses barrel. The activity of some suggests that they think there is money in it. Some of the colored departmental clerks around Washington who are talking up Wilson will be showeling snow and cutting ice on the river for a living in another year. Our esteemed Baltimore contemporary, The Times, which has been touting Roosevelt from breakfast to supper and back again, has eased itself over into the Republican column as best it could. Bro. MacBeth has seen the error of his way. While we may not kill any fatted calf in honor of the return of the prodigal, we welcome The Times back to the fold nevertheless. The Negro Democrats who have a headquarters here to foster Wilson sentiment are only spending ill-gotten gains. They are a type of men who cannot control themselves. Failing in efforts to make an honest living in an honest way, they are prostituting themselves to the party that has always advocated their disfranchisement. TRUE REFORMERS. Order Expresses Thanks to Officials Who Aided in Reorganization. Richmond, Va., Sept. 27. After the most harmonious session in its history, the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, adjourned last night to meet in Richmond in 1913. Three sessions were held on the closing day of the convention, Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross, of Missouri, presiding. The reports of the grand officers, Floyd Ross, Maurice Rousseille and W. H. Smith, and that of Benjamin Graves, editor of the Reformer, took up most of the day. In a closing address-Grand Worthy Master Ross expressed the appreciation of the order for the services of Attorney R. L. Montague, Congressman-elect A. J. Montague, Insurance Commissioner Joseph Button and other well known men who had aid in reorganization of the order. The following general officers were elected for a term of four years: Floyd Ross, G. W. W.; Maurice Rousseau, G. W. S.; W. H. Smith, G. W. T.; Rev. H. E. Johnson, G. W. C.; L. G. King, G. W. G.; Louisa Saunders, A. G. W. G.; J. Lively, G. W. Sentinel; A. Beverly, G. W. P. G.; M. J. Gibson, G. W. R. H; M. L. Jones, G. W. L. H; F. H. Jones, G. W. P. M.; Eliza Allen, governess Board of directors—Floyd Ross, Missouri; Maurice Rousseau, Virginia; W. II. Smith, Georgia; Rev. Granville Hunt, New York; Rev. G. E. Moore. New Jersey; Rev. S. S. Morris, Virginia; J. R. Wilson, Virginia; Irvine East, Virginia; S. W. Hall, Pennsylvania; L. D. Hodges, West Virginia; S. F. Lewis, J. E. Brown, B. H. Stillagard, West Virginia. The new officers qualified before B. A. Cephas, notary public. The reports showed that $40,330.80 had been paid out in death claims. Memorial services were held for W. R. Griffin, late grand worthy master, and J. Frank Douglass, late grand worthy secretary. The board of directors will meet at Reformers' Hall on Second Street this morning at 10 o'clock. PublicMen And Things PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Last Saturday morning, about 11 o'clock, I met a colored lady of my acquaintance in the shopping district of G Street. Yes, she saw me all right, all right, but just as I was about to tip my hat, and smile my blondest and most child-like, this lady with a beautiful contour, and a chalk-colored complexion, turned her back and began inspecting the lingerie in the show window of the store in front of which I met her. I tumbled, and proceeded on my way cursing the fates because I was a sort of ponge complexion. I hadn't gone far until I met a gentleman, also with a near-white complexion, and just as I was about to say "hello" he quickly turned and proceeded back in the direction he had come. Yes, he saw me all right, all right. Now I know my complexion is midway between an African brunett and a North Carolina Cherokee brown, but my clothes fitted me, my shoes, were polished, and I had an air of respectability about me that would, (and has many a time) have licensed me to waltz with the same lady at an assembly, and licensed me to talk with the aforesaid gentleman around the vicinity of You Street. I can't figure it out why they can speak to me up in the black belt, but give me the seams in their back down town where real white folks are thronged. Now no one would have stopped me at either the lady or gentleman speaking to me, as I passed. I often meet white ladies and gentlemen who know me, and they never refuse to speak to me on the street. I calculate that a near-white individual who is labeled "colored" in select colored circles ought to be the same in one section of the town as in another. I have had this treatment handed me several times, and I have now about concluded to speak only to real, simon pure African brunettes or Genesee browns when I meet them down street or in the down town stores. I tell you this passing for white in one end of the town, and going it colored in another is a dangerous thing. Of course I know I can't get, no business being a dull half—half black and half brown, but I ought not to be blamed. The people to blame is that unthinking dad and mam of mine back in Virginia. They are the responsible parties. Now color is only skin deep. I have met many a broiler whose character was all over in spots who had a complexion as fair as Lady Bolingbrook. And I have met many a "shemale" with a character as putre as snow and as chaste as an angel, whose complexion was a near approach to a very dark night in a southern graveyard. It isn't the color every time. Now my honeybunch is satisfied with my mauve complexion, so why should I care. This passing for white, down town, and for colored up town, to use the expression of Count Speghasi, when the Countess of Essex told him he was a "blooming idiot," "is indeed very reproachable, donor know." Now speaking about this passing for white, I see an old, intimate friend of mine has bone and done it, that is has gone and married a real white woman, although he ain't but one-degree lighter brown than your truly. With this bunch of girls in Washington, ranging from a Black Sea complexion to a speghetti white, I can't figure it out how any sleeping bit of humanity whose ances-tors were real Southern darks, can slip by them to hook him on to a real white proposition. Of course, I know there's no accounting for tastes, and a bull sometimes chases a bee with the same zest that he chases a man, but this dull, ninety per cent orcide brain of mine can't conceive of the type of gray matter a fellow has who passes up a bunch of brown, yellow and Creole complexion heats just to say he's good enough for a white woman. Every man who marries has to live and support the woman he marries, so I guess it ain't up to me to file a bill of particulars when a darktown intellect hustles over to the snow bank for a fifth rib. If he can stand the ostracism, and if she can stand the segregation, why whose business is it anyhow. Now while I am dwelling on this "pas-ing for white" and this varigated matrimony, I want to drop a few lines, as a come-back, on this new fad they call Bahaism. The other day, one of the devotees of this orientally fumigated brand of religion met me and talked glibly of its beauties and wonders, and invited me to "come hither" and join the dulux edition of the Baha. Now, as a general proposition, I have found that any time the average colored man or woman gets mixed up with anything more complex than the Baptist, Methodist, Pre-byterian, Congregationalist, Episcopalian or Catholic creed, conclusion of the brain follows, sure as shooting stars follow an equinox. It takes a skyscraper brain to mount to the heights of these oriental creeds, and then it is pretty near where Harry Thaw is now. I had one friend who got mixed up with spiritualism. He is a chattering idiot now. I had another friend who got entangled with another Orient-imported brand of creed, and he inhaled gas one night. I tell you there is always something wrong with the gearing of the average Mr. Negro who tries to sober up on some mystical creed. If there ain't, when he starts, why look out for his running amuck with irrational ideas within six months after he takes the dope. Of course I am a Baptist. The speedometer attached to my brain shows I can't travel in any faster class than this water stock creed. The Methodist is geared a trifle higher, the Presbyterian and Congregational about two degrees higher; the Catholic ain't awfully clear to Ham, and Episcopalian is as high as he can go. If he gets beyond that, why the next thing is you hear of a brain that has most of its cells empty. I told my friend, as kindly as I knew how, that I had an accurate measurement of my think tank, and that I knew there was not enough gray matter in it to take chances on it going to pieces monkeying with this Baha dope. It may be the right dope, and it might make a fellow who has got a sixty ounce brain a dandy idealist and a consistent fellow, but no two and three once guy has any business missing a meal to go up against it. If I can't get to Heaven on this Baptist bath I got some years ago, its a cinch one of these Oriental-made sundas aint going to speed me there any quicker. And if my Methodist, and other creed friends can't get on enough steam to climb the hill to Paradise with the creed that they use as a fuel, just reason with yourself that one of these creeds from the far East ain't going to help them along faster. The average colored man has got an awfully queer brain, and it's taking a long risk to queer it any more. When you hear of me mumbling over the wisdomatic sentences of the Baha, of Spiritualism, or any other new creed concoction, why just watch the newspapers, and in a few days you will read where the Sage was up on a lunacy charge, was found to be a raving maniac, and had been sent to a certain preserve out by Anicosta. Now who's loonie now? BAPTISTS FOR TAFT. National Baptist Convention Adopts Ringing Resolutions Endorsing the Taft Administration—Has Constituency of 2,500,000—By an Overwhelming Majority the Delegates Advise the Afro-Americans of the Country to Vote Republican Ticket Straight. At the recent annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention resolutions were adopted indorsing the Taft administration and advising all citizens and Afro-American Baptists in particular to vote the Republican ticket straight. Resolutions Adopted. To all Citizens and Afro-American Baptists in particular: Whereas The Republican party came into existence in 1856, when the Afro-Americans were slaves in the Southern States, and Whereas, God raised up the immortal Abraham Lincoln, who wrote the emancipation proclamation fifty years ago, which liberated 4,500,000 slaves, and Whereas, The Republican party is the same party that was led by President Lincoln, and, Whereas, This same party stands for the manhood rights of all its citizens, regardless of race or color, and Izens, regardless of race of color, and. Whereas, Whatever political, help for good the Afro-American has received since 1865 has come to him through the Republican party, therefore be it. Resolved, that We pledge ourselves to stand by the party and support the present administration. Resolved, further, That we advise every Afro-American, East, West, North and South, to go to the polls in November and vote the Republican ticket without any alteration whatever. TEN REASONS WHY COLORED MEN SHOULD VOTE FOR WM. H. TAFT. First—Roosevelt has declared in favor of denying party representation to colored men in the South. And Wilson has declared the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution to be unconstitutional. Second—Roosevelt's boldly announced purpose is to destroy the Republican party, the party to which the colored man is indebted for every civil right he now enjoys. Third—All that the colored man enjoys in the way of citizenship and political recognition has been given him by the Republican party against the persistent opposition of the Democrats. Fourth—Wherever the colored man suffers from laws permitting disfair chisement, "jim-crow" cars and segregation in cities and towns, such conditions will be found to exist in states controlled by Democrats. Fifth—The colored men of North Carolina voted for the fusion ticket; they helped to elect a fusion legislature, which immediately proceeded to enact a law disfranchising colored men. Sixth—The colored men of Maryland would be disfranchised today had not President Taft denounced the disfranchising measures, and urged the white Republicans at two elections to defeat the Democratic plan of disfranchisement. Seventh—If the Democrats elect Wilson and a Democratic House and Senate, "jim-crow" street cars will be run in the city of Washington. Eighth—If the Democrats elect the House and Senate a resolution offered by a Southern Democrat, and now pending in the House, will pass and be submitted to the legislatures of the several states. And that resolution provides for the repeal of the 14th and 15th amendments to the federal Constitution. Taft would be sure to veto such a resolution. Wilson would be sure to approve it; and with Wilson's approval the colored man's citizenship would be destroyed. Ninth—Wherever the Democrats are in power the colored people have poor school facilities or none at all. Tenth—Wherever the Democrats are in power colored men are lynched and burned, and no effort made to punish the heinous offence. Miss Jones Appointed. Miss Clarice Jones, recently graduated in music from the Ithica, N. Y. Musical College, has been appointed a teacher in Howard University, vice Miss Maud Young, who resigned some time ago.

Attomey McLaurin Married to Miss Johnson—Many Present and Beau tiful Presents Given. - * 1 A beautiful wedding ‘was solem- nized last Wednesday ‘evening, Sep- tember 18th, at 7:30 o'clock, when Miss Elizabeth Johnson was married to Mr. Sylvester Laughlin McLaurin, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, 1928 Thirteenth Street Northwest. The Rev. Matthew W- Clair, pastor of Asbury- Methodist | Episcopal Church, of which both bride and groom ‘are members, performed the Ceremony in the presence of an au- dience that filled the house. _The bride who was given in mar- riage by her brother, Mr. Charles Johnson, was gowned in white satin trimmed with real point d'esprit lace and pearls. She wore a white veil, caught with rosebuds and carried a shower bouquet of white roses. Miss .A. Lena Meyers was the maid ‘of honor. She wore pink mousseline de soie, trimmed in silk fringe over pink, She carried a shower of pink rosebuds. Miss Alice Barlow, thé bridesmaid, wore white batiste ‘heavily trimmed with hand-made cluny and. German valenciennes over canary messaline. She carried a bouquet of: pink rose- buds.

Moore, who has become disgruntled and declares ‘that he will not follow his leadership. “Ay We See It” Robert L. Waring is a frequent visitor at their head. quarters, and he irequently asks Res Moore to introduce him to Negro Democrats, as he (Waring) has been appointed ‘national organizer of the Negro Democracy. “Rev. Moore has become disgusted and declared that he doesn’t recognize the leadership. of Bishop Walters and Robert L War- ing. From what The Bee has been in- formed, bull moose means democracy and democracy means bull moose. Both organizations are supposed ts work together, in act the manager of the Waldron headquarters* claim that they are one and inseparable. Rev. Moore said Friday. September 27th, that he would not stand being: ignored by the white leadérs of the, Democratic party. ‘The idea, he ~aid. of putting these new convérts at the head of Negro Democratic organiza- tions is what he will not tolerate. On the other hand, the new converts de- clare that the so-called original Dem- ocrats are not known to white democ- racy. “As We Sce It” Waring has just returned from Maryland, where he went to convert colored Republi- cans to Wilson, He has failed, how- ever, and nine-tenths of the colored! voters in the State of Maryland will vote the Taft Republican ticket.

R. ury, Gives Views Obtained in Can- vass—For Hooper. (Erom Nashyille Daily Tennessean.) That but few Negroes in Tennes- see will vote for Col. Theodore Roosevelt in the coming Presidential election is the opinion of J. C. Napier. the Negro leader and Register of the United States Treasury, who has been making speeches during the past two weeks over the State in the interest” of the candidacy of both President Taft and Governor Hooper. He says that a careful poll of the colored ministers and other leaders of his race who have been attending re- cent conventions over the State. in- dicates that more than two-thirds of the Negroes in Tennessee are in fa- vor of the re-election of the candi- dates on the Republicam ticket, both national and State. and that the’ state- ments being made by certain publica- tions in different sections of the State as well as by designing ‘politicians to the effect that the Negroes are go- ing to the Bull Moose cause in great numbers are all without foundation, J. C. Napier claims that not since his active participation in politics in the State has he found the colored people more heartily-in favor of the Republican nominces at this stage of the conflict, and believes that it is becatise of the great interest'the Ne- groes are taking in the gubernatorial clection. He states that so well sat- isfied are they with the administra- tion of: Governor Hooper, whose scourse toward them they feel has been so just, so humane and so con- siderate he does not believe that there | will be but a passing few who will |vote against him in November.

DROP ONLY THIRTY FEET Aeroplane, About to Land, Rams Into the Earth and One Is Instantly Killed. Lieutenant Lewis C. Rockwell, of the Tenth Infantry, and Corporal Frank S. Scott, of the army aviation school at College Park, near Baltimore, Md., are dead as the result of an aeroplane accident. Corporal Scott was instantly killed, but Lieutenant Rockwell died on the operating table at the Walter Reed General hospital in Baltimore, where he was taken after the accident in the automobile of Captain Charles De Forest Chandler, commanding officer of the school. The accident was due to the failure of the motor to stop running when Aviator Rockwell reached up to cut it off. The machine, which was but thirty feet from the ground and about to make a landing, plunged nose-downward, into the earth. More than 300 men and women witnessed the accident. Lieutenant Rockwell had taken the machine up for a last flight a few minutes before the accident occurred and found everything working right. Then he decided to make another trip and take a passenger with him. Corporal Scott, who was a mechanic in the hangar in which Lieutenant Rockwell kept his machine, agreed to go. They climbed in and flew away. After gaining an altitude of 150 feet and having soared about for ten minutes they headed their machine downward. When with in thirty feet of the earth, Lentenant Rockwell reached up to cut the engine off, but it refused to stop, and the biplane rammed into the ground with tremendous force and was smashed. Scott was hurled several feet from the machine, while Rockwell lay a few feet away from him. Brother officers, who were acting as officials of the test flight, carefully picked up the two men. Scott was found to be lifeless, his skull being crushed, his clothing torn from him and his bones broken. Rockwell, with his head buried partly in the earth, still showed signs of life, but was unconscious. The army surgeon stationed at the field, after a hasty examination, ordered him rushed to the hospital in a final attempt to save his life. He never regained consciousness.

He died in a hospital soon after. Chavellier, who was thrown clear of the wreck, is seriously but not fatally injured. He probably will lose his left eye. ROOSTER DESTROYS EYES OF CHILD 3-Year-Old Boy Was Unable to Defend Himself. The ferocity of a rooster cost little Johnnie Charles, aged three years, of Pittsburgh, Pa., the sight of both his eyes. The boy was playing at his parents' home in Lincoln avenue, when the cock, that had been fighting in another yard, flew over the fence.

WILLIAMS MANUFACTURING COMPANY. Two men and a boy were killed at Malaga, twenty-eight miles from Camden, N. J., when a Pennsylvania railroad electric train struck the big moving van in which they were taking a load of furniture from Vineland, N. J., to Philadelphia. The driver and owner of the van was Joseph Caplan. The other two victims were Jacob Caplan, aged thirteen years, and Nathan Fisher. The accident occurred during a heavy, rainstorm. Two horses attached to the van were killed, and the first car of the electric train was so badly damaged that it had to be sidetracked. The victims were badly mangled and were identified with difficulty. Molten Metal Kills Two. John Shute and Louis Slovac are dead, five other men are seriously injured and twenty others hurt as a result of an explosion in the open hearth department of the Cambria Steel company at Franklin, near Johnstown, Pa. Twenty tons of hot metal, released by a leak in furnace No. 8, made its way along the ground until it reached a pool of water, when it exploded, throwing showers of metal in every direction. Breastpin Found in Girl's Lungs. A pearl breastpin, which eighteen year-old Olga Martin swallowed while hastily dressing for a party two years ago, was removed from the girl's lungs at the Lutheran hospital in New York. The pin was located by X-rays and removed with forceps. Elephant Attacks a Coach. A wild elephant's attack on a coach in Ceylon, India, was reported in dispatches from Colombo. The brute demolished the coach and killed the driver, but the passengers hid in a culvert and escaped. Tuberculosis Cattle Killed.

Président Newman, as teacher of English and History at Howard University. Mr. E. Earl Ward, of Columbus, Ohio, who was engaged in the transfer business there, and who had amassed a small fortune at the age of 31, was drowned in Chicago, while attending the Business Men's League there. Pressure is being brought to bear on the State Department to force the Cuban government to settle claims amounting to more than $15,000,000. The principal claim is held by an American contractor, who, during Major Wood's administration, installed a sewer system and paved the streets of Havana. The number of women colonels in the German army now number nineteen in the army. The latest statistics of Germany show that the birth rate is steadily decreasing. The number of children born for every 1,000 women of an age to have children is now only 74, as compared with 200 forty years ago. It cost John M. Slaton, of Fulton County, Georgia, $12,760 to be nominated for the governorship of Georgia, just $2,760 more than he will get at $5,000 a year during his two-year terms. It is estimated about 2,000 pupils will be barred from school by the recent act of Congress regarding the new non-resident law. The local school authorities are somewhat troubled as they do not know for what number of children to prepare for.

Judge Beers was elected new commander in chief at the annual encampment of the G. A. R. at Los Angeles, Cal. Comes Into $25,000,000. As the date rapidly approaches when Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, of New York city, is to come into the absolute possession of his entire fortune, he lingers with his bride, the former Mrs. Smith Hollins McKim, in a house boat on the Thames river, England, where they are expecting a visit from the stork. This event is due so soon, according to the reports, that Mrs. Vanderbilt will be able to return to this country with her husband to celebrate his thirty-fifth birthday, which terminates the period of trust in which half his patrimony was held. The will of Cornelius Vanderbilt bore the date of June 18, 1896. The seventeenth provision created the trust in favor of Alfred, assigning to the executors the duty of holding, investing and reinvesting the remainder of the estate and collecting rents, incomes and profits for the use of Alfred Vanderbilt until he became thirty years old. At that age, on Oct. 20, 1907, he received one-half of the estate, which amounted to $25,000,000. This fall he will receive the other half. Democrats Fight For Pennsylvania.

KILLS THREE AND HIMSELF OLD SCORE THE CAUSE Man Is Slain at Churn In Barn and Women While at Work Sewing in the House. John Caskey, sixty years old, who has been living as a recluse for some years near New Market, York county, Pa., killed Frank Hendrix, forty-five years old; Lis two sisters, Emma and Hester Hendrix, each more than fifty years old, and then turned the revolver upon himself, sending a bullet through his head, which caused his death shortly afterward. Caskey had been living on the Hendrix property, and it is believed that he murdered the Hendrix family to pay off an old score. A note found near the murderer's body said that he had ended his life because of ill health. Caskey's body was found on the rear porch of a brother's house at New Market. A jury of inquest was summoned, and while it was investigating the death word came that the bodies of the Hendrix family were discovered. Frank Hendrix was shot while he was at work at a churn in the barn, and his sisters were killed while they sat quietly sewing at home. When found each woman had a thimble on her finger. Death in each instance had been caused by a bullet that penetrated the forehead. The shot that killed Caskey had entered at a similar point. The jury decided that the Hendrix trio had been murdered and that the evidence indicated that Caskey was the murderer. In one of Caskey's pockets three cartridges of 38-caliber, the same size found in the bodies of the Hendrix family, were discovered. The inquest was conducted by Justice of the Peace Grant McCullough, of Baltimore county, Md. It leaked out that $11,500 in gold was stolen about noon on Sept. 15 from the National Newark Banking company, in the heart of the financial district of Newark, Del. The gold was in three small bags, which were on a ledge behind the grating that separates the tellers from the corridor. Most of the tellers were out to luncheon at the time. Those who were working were at the front of the bank, when some one passed toward the rear of the corridor, where there is a big pillar that supports a part of the building and divides the tellers' screen. An iron bar was used to pry the screen open about four inches, and then, it is believed, a hook at least four feet long was used to reach the bags containing the gold. When the clerks returned from their luncheon the break in the screen was discovered and the Burns detective agency was at once notified. The local police say they have not been informed about the robbery. The iron bar employed to pry open the screen was found in the corridor. Kaiser and Crown Prince Apart. The Vienna Zeit publishes the following message from its Berlin cor respondent: The disagreement between the kaiser and the crown prince has reached practically a complete breach. Verbal communications have almost ceased, and when the prince wants to communicate with his father he does so in writing through his house marshal. The crown prince's last communication to the kaiser was a bitter reproach because the latter sent a general to review his regiment instead of coming himself. It is stated that the kaiser absolutely disregarded the activities in connection with the birthday of the crown prince last Friday. There was a gala banquet and reception, but the kaiser attended neither He remained only a half hour in Berlin on his way from the naval maneuvers at Wilhelmshaven to his autumn shooting ground, Rominten. The kaiser joined the kaiserin and Princess Victoria at the station and left again immediately. Coroner Moore is investigating reports made to him that a child of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Bender, of Lincoln, near Tremont, Pa., died while under the care of a "witch" doctor, who tried "pow wowing" on the little patient to cure an attack of dysentery. No other physician was employed, it is alleged, although the authorities are of the opinion that the child might have been cured with proper medical attention. Coroner Moore has fixed Thursday for an inquest, and declares that if any of the numerous "pow wow" doctors who are said to be plying their business secretly in the neighborhood, are responsible for the death they will be held to answer to the law. Her Husband a Mulatto. Mrs. Annie Wilson, wife of Upton Wilson, a laborer in Washington, applied to the juvenile court for an order requiring her husband to support their two children. In her plea Mrs. Wilson declared that she had just made the astounding discovery that for four years she had been married to a mulatto. The discovery was not made until the husband's mother came to visit them for the first time and revealed the husband's race. Wilson had explained his color to his wife before their marriage, she declared, by stating that he was of Indian descent. The marriage occurred in Boston four years ago. The wife's malden name was Anna Wilson. She informed the judge of the juvenile court that she quit her husband as soon as she learned he was a negro and would apply for a divorce. An order was made by the juvenile court requiring the husband to pay $5 a week towards the support of the children. Crops Worth $7,000,000,000. With a corn crop that is far in excess of all previous records and a wheat yield that has never before been equated in the United States, according to the government's statistics, the farmers of the United States are enriched by the tidy sum of nearly $7,000,000,000 with which to meet the high cost of living during the coming year. And one of the best things about agricultural prosperity in this country, financial writers say, is that it has a way of coming when other agrarian nations are in the grip of famine. The result is that the great crop in the United States helps to feed the other countries of the world whose fields have lain sodden at harvest or burned in the sunshine. This year's bumper crop measures up 710,000,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $603,500,000; 3,000,000,000 bushels of corn, valued at $1,350,000,000; 1,250,000,000 bushels of oats, valued at $387,000,000; barley, rye and other farm products valued at $4,260,000,000. "If the people of Delaware don't want the boulevard, I will probably give it to Maryland." A statement to this effect was made in Wilmington, Del., by Coleman Dupont, after an inquiry had been made from him as to what effect the appeal of the boulevard suit to the supreme court of the United States would have on his work. Mr. Dupont made it clear in discussing the road question that if the people of Delaware gave evidence that they do not want him to build the road he will not do so," but he added that he might build one in Maryland instead. Leaps to Death In Niagara. Workmen on the Canadian side of the Niagara river reported that they had seen a man vault the iron rail just above the brink below the falls and fall among the rocks and spray 200 feet below. Shortly afterward the police picked up a derby hat, business cards and insurance papers bearing the name of "Frank L. Parker, Buffalo, N. Y." Parker, who was a captain in the Seventy-fourth regiment, New York State Guard, had been in poor health for several months. He has been missing since Wednesday. Drowns In Mine Flood. The heavy rains caused an old mine working at the Phoenix Park colliery of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron company, near Pottsville, Pa., to break through into the gangway, resulting in the drowning of a workman. The men had ample warning to permit them to escape, and the one death was caused by the victim attempting to return to get his dinner can just as the water broke through in full volume. One mule was also drowned. About a score of workmen were in the mine at the time. Girl Forced to Take Poison. Miss Lettle Ward, aged fifteen, who lives at the home of Samuel Farmer, of Wheeling Junction, W. Va., was seized by unidentified, men near her home and held while poison was administered. She is expected to die. Farmer recently received anonymous letters threatening his life if he did not leave the county. No reason for the attack has been disclosed. Watchman Dead In Ruins. The body of Antonio Rohreather, a watchman, was found in the ruins of the building of the Belleville Co-operative Creamery company, at Belleville, near Lewistown, Pa., after the place had been destroyed by fire. The police say that the man probably shot himself and then set fire to the building. There were two bullet wounds in his head.

PROPORTION OF MULATTOES IN THE NEGRO POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES. Preliminary Thirteenth Census Statistics Issued by the Census Bureau. A preliminary statement showing by States and geographic divisions the number and proportion of mulattoes among the Negroes enumerated at the Thirteenth Decennial Census of the United States, taken as of April 15, 1910, was issued today by Director Durand, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce and Labor. The statistics were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population in the Bureau of the Census, and are subject to revision. The statement gives comparative figures for 1870 and 1890, no data being available for 1880 or 1900. The term "mulatto," as used in the census of 1910, includes all persons, not full-blooded Negroes, who have some proportion or perceptible trace of Negro blood. The Bureau of the Census does not regard the returns as being beyond question, since the classification of Negroes as full-bloods or mulattoes was necessarily to a considerable degree dependent upon the personal opinion and conscientiousness of the enumerators. The results, however, are believed to approximate the facts for the country as a whole and for large aggregates. In 1910 there were in continental United States as a whole, 9,827,763 Negroes, of whom 2,050,686, or 20.9 per cent were reported as mulattoes. In 1890 there were 1,132,060 mulattoes reported, or 15.2 per cent of all the Negroes, and in 1870 a total of 581,049, or 12 per cent. Thus the figures taken at their face value show that about one-fifth of all the Negroes in 1910 had some admixture of white blood, as against about one-eighth in 1870. It may be noted, however, that an increase in the mulatto element does not necessarily imply increasing intermixture with the whites, since the children born of marriage between blacks and mulattoes would be mulattoes according to the census definition. The percentage of mulattoes reported varies widely in different States and different sections of the country. It was to be expected that the percentage would be relatively high in those sections where the Negro population is small as compared with the total population, and would be higher in the North than in the South. In general the results are in agreement with this presumption. In New England and in the East North Central and Pacific Divisions about one-third of the Negro population were reported as mulattoes, while in each of the three southern divisions the proportion is only about one-fifth. In the Middle Atlantic division for some reason the percentage is not higher than it is in the southern divisions. This may possibly be due to the rapid growth of Negro population in that division through immigration from the South.

And One of Most Eloquent Ever Heard in City—Parade and Coronation Ceremonies Mark Affair. (From the Daily Press, Wheeling, W. Va.) The feature of the celebration was the address of Prof. William Henry Harrison Hart, professor of law in the Howard, University, and it was a most able effort. Prof. Hart is an orator of ability and the occasion was one that called forth his best efforts, and he took advantage of the situation in an admirable manner and made the most of it. This with the crowning of the queen and attendant ceremonies, together with the parade in the morning, formed the principal features of the day's program. Rev. L. C. Moore, the original Negro Democrat doesn't take very well to "As We See It" Robt. L. Waring's appointment as a national organizer for the Democratic party. Bishop Alexander Walkers is at the head of Negro Democracy in this country. W. T. Sodders, who left the city last month for Texas to attend the National Baptist convention, returned to the city Sunday afternoon and stated the sentiment among the colored ministers who attended the convention was for Taft. Mr. Sodders stated further that he was not "Jim Crowed" until he struck Oklahoma; there he was insulted and ordered out of the car in which he was riding as a first-class passenger. He also rebuked certain Baptist ministers in Texas for declaring in favor of the Democrats. After he arrived in Kansas he repurchased seats in the Pulman car. He found in St. Louis Mo., a strong Taft sentiment. FUNERAL OF JAMES PINN. Venerable Negro Who Had Lived Half Century in Washington.

Their Loss Our Gain. (From the American Economist.) A consular report from Chemnitz tells of a heavy decrease of hosiery exports to the United States in 1911 as compared with 1910. The decrease was from $4,678,382 in 1910 to $2,962,913 in 1911, a difference of $1,715,458, or about 37 per cent. In 1910 the average price of hosiery exported to the United States from Chemnitz was $1.37 per dozen, but in 1911 it dropped to $1.39 per dozen. The falling off in quantities and in prices was due to the increased Protection given to American hosiery in the tariff law of 1909. Under that tariff the Germans could no longer flood our markets. To the extent that Chemnitz lost the American trade, a million and three-quarter dollars in one year, American hosiery gained an additional market and employed additional American labor. Not only that, but the Germans, in order to get into our market at all, were compelled to lower their prices from $1.37 to $1.30 per dozen. Who paid the tariff in this case? Certainly not the people of the United States, for at no time has American made hosiery ever been so cheap as --- UNIVERSITY Nation. Advantages unsurpassed. Modern scientific and general Building.

Charles E. Chamberlain, said to be of a good family in Washington, received twenty lashes for burglary, and kept his nerve, though suffering considerable pain. Robert T. Simpson and Luke Naylor received ten lashes each. The nine negroes fogged, were Robert 'Washington, Prince E.
