IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIII NO 20 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY OCTOBER 19, 1912 SEN.FORAKERSPEAKS SENATOR FORAKER DEALS ROOSEVELT'S PARTY A HARD BLOW. Wants to Hear More of Appomattox and Less of Armagedden—Advises Every Negro Voter to Vote for Taft. When the Colored Baptist Ministers' Union, of Cincinnati, passed resolutions asking Senator Foraker, that stalwart Republican, and friend of the Negro, for an expression of his views on the important political issues confronting the people, he sent the following letter, which fairly bristles with feeling for the race, and teems with censure of Roosevelt and his party. Every colored man should read this letter, which is as follows. The Baptist Ministers' Union of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, O.: Gentlemen: I have before me a copy of the resolutions adopted by you yesterday in which you recite that the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt has injected into this campaign "an issue of vital importance to the Negro race, and the Negroes generally are in a confused state of mind as to the meaning and effect of said issue on their race and as to their duty in the coming election," and asking me "to advise you as to what in my opinion is the meaning and effect as applied to the Negro race of the issue thus raised and the duty of the Negroes in the coming election." If you had asked me to state without qualification the meaning of the issue you mention I should have declined to undertake to give an answer to your inquiry, for no matter what I might have thus said as to its meaning I would probably have been charged with misrepresentation. But inasmuch as you ask for only my personal opinion of what it means I presume I am safe, at least from the charge of misrepresentation, in saying that in my opinion it means to make of the progressive party in the South a white man's party for the purpose of popularizing the party with the white people, especially the white Democrats of the South, and thus make it possible to break up the solid support of the Democratic party by the Southern States. "So understanding this new issue as, you' term it, it has no novelty. From time to time of late years efforts have been made in a number of Southern States to organize among Republicans a so-called 'Lily-White' party. The well-known hope and purpose of the advocates of this movement have been to overcome the prejudice on account of the Negro of the white Democrats of the South against becoming Republicans and thus make it possible for the Republicans to capture from the Democrats some of the Southern States. "I have never had any sympathy with this 'Lily-White' movement among the Republicans, because it involved a denial of the Negro of his political rights, and for the same reason I have no sympathy with Mr. Roosevelt's proposition. Obnoxious Proposition. "It does not help the matter to confine the proposed rule to the Southern States. The 'Lily-White' Republicans did the same. On the contrary, it makes the proposition more obnoxious, since it sectionalizes the country, and denies that equality of political right under the constitution and the laws of the country that it is justly the proud boast of the Republican party to have conferred. Besides it would, in my opinion, be but an entering wedge to further denials of right to the colored people, not only in the South but also in the North. You have only to recall the vote in Ohio at the recent constitutional election, whereby an overwhelming majority was registered against striking out the word 'white' from the Ohio constitution—a word that has been a dead letter ever since the war amendments to the constitution of the United States were adopted—to see the extent of the prejudice that can be aroused against the Negro here in our own State, where we are supposed to have outlived everything of such unworthy character. The degree of prejudice thus manifested here indicates how easy it would be to extend the denial of equality of right to the Negro of the Southern States, that is now proposed to a denial of that same equality of right in the Northern States. The whole proposition is in conflict with Republican sentiment, and Republican principles, and Republican achievements, and Republican beliefs, and should not, in my judgment, be given any countenance at all by any one who calls himself a Republican. "A good deal has been said recently about the battle of Armageddon. In view of this proposition, if I were a colored man I would want to hear less about Armageddon and more about Appomattox. Deeds That Count. "The greatest of all the achievements of the Republican party was the abolition of slavery and the enfranchisement of your whole race, and the planting of them on the same plane of political equality with the white people of this country in the presence of the constitution and the laws. To go back now to undo that in whole or in part is not progress, but retrogression, and retrogression of a character that is wholly inconsistent with the spirit by which all are actuated who are battling for the Lord.' "Nobody knows more than I do or feels more keenly than I do the fact that the Republican party has not at all times once its full duty by the Negroes, who have almost without exception been so steadfastly loyal to our government and institutions and everything the Republican party has represented; but notwithstanding all such shortcomings, the fact remains that the Republican party is the only hope the Negro has of fair political treatment. It is the only party that has actually and, practically done anything to better his political status and to improve his opportunities. "I need not cite any testimony to support this statement as to the Democratic party. The leaders of that party not only admit, but they justify all that is said and suggested. So far as the progressive party is concerned, whatever they may say or propose is neutralized by the proposition you mention, which cannot be otherwise than the beginning that would lead on to results far more disastrous and exasperating than any one has yet suggested. Ship at Sea. "Much, therefore, as the Republican party may have fallen short of what it should have done in this or that or the other instance, it remains that it is the only political organization to which the Negro can look with hope for the future. In other words, it is as true now as when first stated, that for the Negro 'the Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea.' "I regard the approaching election as one of the most important ever held in this country in time of peace. It involves for all of us the very life of the protective tariff policy under which we have had such great prosperity. It involves also the very form itself of our government. We are glibly told that the constitution made by Washington and Hamilton and Madison and their associates is a 'stage-coach constitution,' not suitable to modern conditions; and our distinguished mayor is reported in the newspapers to have told the law class he was addressing a few nights ago that our written constitution should be so amended as to prohibit the courts from setting aside as unconstitutional any legislative enactments. Others tell us of the superiority of the English constitution because acts of parliament are beyond question in the courts. Such talk is dangerous. For more than 100 years our personal liberties and rights, as well as our property rights, have been protected and guaranteed by the bill of rights that is a paramount part of every written constitution ever made in this country. All these bills of rights would be in vain if the courts were as suggested, stripped of their constitutional power and duty to protect us in their enjoyment. Bill of Rights. "In addition to these great serious questions for the colored man there is involved in this approaching election the additional question to which you have called my attention. The tariff and stable government and bills of rights are as important to the colored man as they are to the white man, for what affects the one affects the other. But over and above all else the colored man has the further question to consider, about which you have asked me to express an opinion, and that question is sufficient of itself, as I have tried to indicate, to make it the duty of every loyal, self-respecting colored man in the nation to rally to the support of the Republican party and vote its ticket, from President Taft at the head of it down to the last man on the county ticket." "Very truly, &e." "J. B. FORAKER." NAPIER TO SPEAK IN TAFT'S INTEREST. Register of the Treasury to Go on Hustings and Make Plea for President. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 10. J. C.

Upshur, a well known colored lady in this city, on the evening of July 31, 1912, was accosted by an officer by the name of Frederick J. Brawner, and placed under arrest, claiming that her dog had no muzzle on. Mrs. Upshur was also charged with having assaulted the officer. She was represented by Attorney W. Calvin Chase, who claimed at the opening of the trial before Acting Judge Aukum, of the United States branch of the Police Court, that the arrest of his client was unjustifiable. The following is the Pedrick J. Brawler testified. On the 11th day of July, 1912, about 11:30 o'clock, I was standing on the southwest corner of 14th and T streets. Three women came up to the northwest corner and waited for the car. I heard some cursing and swearing. Two of the women got on the car. The third walked over to me. She had been drinking, and I was about to call her down for swearing, when a large bull dog that was with her snapped at me. I kicked the dog away, and told her she ought to put a muzzle on that dog. She said if you would mind your own business and let respectable colored people alone, you wouldn't have any trouble. I asked her for her name and address but she wouldn't tell me, and then I told her to come on up to the box. By Mr. Given: Q. Well, what did you do then? A. She immediately stattrted to resist arrest and began to assault me. I struggled along with her until we got past T street, then she caught hold of my coat and struck at me; she got me by the testicles; then she shoved me against a glass at the fruit store; she tore my badge off; about that time Officer Broderick came up and dragged her up to the box at the corner of 12th and U streets.

Well, what did you hear Mrs. Unhair say? Q. Well, what else did she say? A. She didn't say anything more, she was walking toward me and had got up to me by that time. When she got up to me the dog snapped at me. I said: Why don't you put a muzzle on the dog? She said: If you will mind your own damn business and let respectable colored people alone, you wouldn't have any trouble. Q. When did you strike her? A. We were in front of Doonis' fruit store then.

Were you present on the night in July when something took place between Officer Brawner and this women? A. Yes; I was coming from the National Guard Armory. At 14th and T Street I noticed an officer calling to a woman to stop. The woman had a dog. He called again and she stopped. He said: I want to know if that's your dog. She said: yes. He said: It is not muzzled. She said: it is muzzled. It was a piece of strap hanging around the dog's neck. Then he asked her where she lived. She wouldn't tell him. She said if you officers would mind your own damn business you would get along better on this beat. He again asked her name; she wouldn't tell him. He asked her to go along and she said: You are not man enough to take me along. He caught hold of her and she resisted; she kept on resisting arrest and he struck her. All the way up to the box at the corner of 14th and U street she fought him. A large crowd gathered. She tried to throw him, and he tried to get her to the box, but she wouldn't go. They went up against a window and she fell over the bread box, as she got up he tried to make her let go of him but she wouldn't. He hit her on the hand; still she wouldn't let go. The crowd came up and they managed to get her to the box. When she got to the box she cursed the officer and told him to "Go to hell." Cross Examination. By Mr. Chase: Q. When did this occur? A.

CONFERENCE Brings List of Assignments—Return of Pastor I. S. Lee, Who Seceded Eight Years Ago, Cause of Rejoicing. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 8. At the closing session of the African Methodist Episcopal conference in the Euclid Avenue Church yesterday, there was a happy reunion when Rev. I. S. Lee was received back into the conference. About eight years ago Pastor Lee, who was in charge of the Wylie Avenue Church, when notified that conference had transferred him to Wheeling, W Va., refused to go. He then organized the colored Congregational Church on Wylie Avenue, taking with him about 300 members of his old church.

Edward Clark, former business agent of the Iron Worker' union at Cincinnati, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty at the opening of the federal dynamite conspiracy trial in Indianapolis. It was predicted that others of the defendants would follow Clare's example, and that many of the forty-six defendants left would join a stampede to throw themselves upon the mercy of the court. The prisoner was then separated from the other forty-five defendants and taken to jail to await the imposing of his sentence. Clark pleaded guilty to all the charges—five counts of conspiracy and fifty counts of being a principal to the actual illegal interstate shipment of dynamite and nitro-glycerin. Clark was business agent and president of local union No. 44, of the International Union of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers from January, 1908, to July, 1911.

Poisoned Candy Sent to Girl Through the agency of candy which had been dipped in poison, an unidentified enemy sought the life of Miss Isabel Sparkes, soprano soloist at Christ church, the leading Episcopal congregation of Cincinnati, O. It is at this church that President Taft usually worships when in the city. Miss Sparkes ate three pieces of the candy and became very ill. Her life was saved by the prompt minstrations of the family physician. Miss Sparkes' sister also partook of a piece of the candy and was made ill. It was several weeks ago that Miss Sparkes received the candy, City and federal detectives have been endeavoring to obtain a clue to the identity of the criminal. Miss Sparkes has recovered; but she is in constant fear that some chevy might take other means of injuring her. It is pointed out that the aim of the sender of the candy might have been the permanent injury of the girl's vocal organs through induring lock-jaw, as the drug has that tendency. Powder Explosion Kills Fifty Fifty persons were killed as the result of the explosion of 500 kegs of powder at Tampico, Mex. A warehouse in which the powder was stored and several buildings adjacent were burned. The charred bodies of twenty-two of the victims already have been recovered from the rains. Three hundred persons are suffering from injuries and twenty of these probably will die. Many of the killed and injured were spectators lured by the burning building. Suddenly as they pressed closely there was a terribe detonation, which sent flying embers for many yards through the air. The explosion occurred during a fire which had evidently been set by an incendiary. Persons of revolutionary sympathies are suspected. Kilied By Insane Son. Dr. Charles A.

Take Turkish Town After a Gallant Assault. TURKEY'S LINE IS BROKEN Army Pushes Through and Lnvests Fortified Town In Moslem Territory. Losses Have Been Heavy. The Montenegrin army under command of General Vukotleh, has gained another victory in the capture of Byzolopoly, one of the chief towns of Novibizar. The Montenegrians attacked the town with a gallant assault, and met with a fierce resistance. So far no details as to the battle have been received beyond the fact that the town was taken and that the victors have, set up a provisional government there. After an engagement lasting until midnight, the Montenegrians broke through the Turkish ranks near Tushl and invested the town, which is completely cut off from Seutari. The Montenegrin army has been fighting for four days along the whole front, penetrating the Turkish territory slowly, owing to the many fordifications. The Turks have burned several Mallissori villages. Many wounded Turks have been brought to Podgoritza. Details of the storming of Detchitch mountain by the Montenegrin troops show that the Montenegrins lost 120 killed and 400 wounded. At Rogame Fort the Montenegrins captured an undamaged field gun and a quantity of ammunition. Official dispatches from the southern army say the Turks attempted to take the counter offensive, but were driven back. The relief of the town of Berana by Turkish reinforcements is reported by the military commander of Scutari. He also says that the Turks have reoccupied the heights around the town of Guslnye, near the Montenegrin frontier to the northeast of Podgoritza. Montenegrin forces have crossed the border into the Sanjak of Novlipazar, and are now attacking Slenitza, according to official information received by the Porte. Slenitza is a town close to the Servian frontier. Crown Prince Constantine of Greece, accompanied by his eldest son and a number of staff officers, left Athens to take command of the army of Thessaly. Their departure was marked by a demonstration of popular enthusiasm. The Montenegrin army is advancing in two columns, one commanded by Crown Prince Danilo, of Montenegro, operating to the north of Lake Scutari, and the other, commanded by General Martinovitch, having its base at Antivari, to the south of Lake Scutari. Victory Insures General War. The news of the latest Montenegrin victory is regarded in Paris as insuring a general war against Turkey and as endangering all the plans of the powers to secure peace. Since Austria seized Bosnia and Herzegovina two years ago that power has had her eyes on the province of Novibazar as a step toward the acquisition of Salenica. AIRMAN HAS LUCK Falls Fifty Feet and Escapes Injury, Though Machine is Smashed. Caught in a puff of wind after wait- ing more than an hour for favor bli- conditions, Aviator Oscar Brindle was hurled to the ground from a height of fifteen feet and narrowly es- caped being crushed to death at Staunton, Va. His biplane was almost completely wrecked, but Brindley providentially escaped injury. While rising and at- tempting to make a turn an air curr- ent caught him and almost completely turned the machine, which righted, however, dropping from a height of fifty feet to the very edge of a cliff. Brindley stuck to his seat, but the propeller of his machine was smashed and the left wing almost twisted off, besides minor damages. Invalid Slashes His Throat Alice Wilson Culver, wife of John G.

Buys Parcels Post Scales Postmaster General Hitchcock has placed the largest single order for scales ever made—30,000. They are to be used in postoffices for the parcels post service and will cost $77,300. "A very efficient system of wireless telegraphy exists in every hospital," said the nurse. "Apparently all patients have the knack of transmitting messages; otherwise the news of serious cases would not travel so quickly and accurately from ward to ward. It is contrary to the rules for hospital attendants to retail gossip, and most of them observe strict secrecy. yet notwithstanding that precaution there is never an interesting case in the building whose history is not known and discussed in the remotest corner. "Last week a boy suffering with a peculiar kind of throat trouble was brought into a first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in the case, yet they took special pains never to mention it in the hearing of another patient. But for all the good their'caution did they might as well have lectured on the case in every ward, for when the boy died men and women all about the hospital said to the nurses: 'So that poor boy died, did he? I suppose there wasn't much hope for him from the start.' "How did the news travel?"—New York Press. The Horn of the Unicorn The horn of the unicorn. The horn of the unicorn was reputed instantly to reveal poison in a dish by sweating blood, and great was the rivalry as to the possession of the finest specimen while this belief still flourished. Charles the Bold proudly paraded six, two of them eight feet long, two six feet, two five feet. According to Benvenuto Cellini, "the finest ever seen, which had cost seventeen thousand ducats of the Camera," was the one for which at the pope's command he made a design, "the finest thing imaginable, modeled half on a horse and half on a stag, with a very fine mane and other adornments." Coryat speaks of the one at St. Denis as about three yards long, and Windsor had two of four ells. The real "unicorn" in many cases seems to have been the narwhal.—London Chronicle. Few Elise In Bohemia. Bohemia is singularly free from files. In most of the dining rooms in Prague during the course of a meal perhaps three or four files appear during the season. In restaurants there are very few files. There screen doors to keep out files and other insects are unknown. The buildings are all constructed of brick, stone or concrete. The docks along the river front are of granite. The pavements and sidewalks are made of granite blocks. There are no wooden sidewalks, stairways or buildings in the city. Decayed vegetable or animal matter is not openly exposed to files, and the streets are frequently cleaned during each day. There are no open drains in the city to attract and breed files. The absence of files can only be ascribed to the lack of breeding places. Windmills as Newspapers In Holland births, marriages and deaths, instead of being recorded in newspapers, are indicated by wind-mills. When a miller gets married he stops his mill with the arms of the wheel in a slanting position and with the sails unfurled. His friends and guests frequently do likewise, with their mills, in token of the ceremony. To indicate a birth the wheel is stopped with the arms in a slanting position, but at a more acute angle than for a marriage and with the two upper sails unfurled. Should a miller die the sails of his mill are all furled and the wheel is turned round until the arms form an upright cross, in which position they are left until after the funeral has taken place. Always Raining. There is a group of islands to the south of New Zealand called the Sisters, or Seven Sisters, which are reputed to be subjected to a practically constant rainfall. The same may be said of the islands and mainland of Tierra del Fuego, saving for the difference that the rain often takes form of sleet and snow. On a line running round the world from four to eight or nine degrees there are patches over which rain seldom ceases to fall. This is called the "zone of constant precipitation," but at the same time there are several localities along it with very little rainfall. The Smallest Watch A rich resident of Moscow owns the smallest watch in the world. It was made in Geneva by the famous watchmaker, W. Goeglin, and cost more than $25,000. It has a diameter of one-fifth of an inch and is set in an artificially worked finger ring, which is studded with diamonds. Goeglin is said to have worked three years on it and permanently weakened his eyeight in the task. Pretty Poor Cigara. "You can't tell me there is no honesty in the world" "How now?"

A Modern Raleigh. He was a stalwart young citizen, she a charming young woman. They were under an awning. The rain had ceased, but the street was muddy. He did not look like Sir Walter Raleigh, nor did she look like Queen Elizabeth. But probably Q. E. never looked prettier. "Wuxtry polpers!" shouted a newsboy. "Say, kid," he said, "are you too busy to earn a half dollar?" "Well, Bo," replied the boy, "do I look like a cheap edition of Mr. Rocke-by-baby? Show me de mun." "Well, boy, take your papers, spread 'em out from curb to car track. Cover the mud with 'em. Get busy!" He paid the astonished boy. The car came. He bowed in courtly manner to the queen. She blushed and sald: "Oh. Billy, you foolish boy!" But she walked over the papered path as proudly as Q. E. could have done. Then, like Q. E., she sentenced him for life. He is her meal ticket now.—Chicago Record-Herald. "Mora Bacon" Many years ago Congdon's tavern in Wickford, Rhode Island, was famous for its good cheer, and in "Early Rhode Island" W. B. Weeden has an entertaining tale of John Randolph of Roanoke, who was once a visitor at the inn. Mr. Randolph was on his way to Newport and made his journey on horseback with his cousin Edmund. secretary of state under Washington All the way from New York "ham and eggs" had been the universal fare. At Wickford Congdon said he would give them clams for supper. The eccentric John of Roanoke rubbed his hands in pleased expectation. Then appeared the host again, saying the tide was too high for clams, but they should have some capital guahaups. "Good heavens," exclaimed Randolph, who did not know that the quahaug is a hard shelled variety of clam. "more bacon!" The Academy Shine The man who has the most highly polished shoes in Paris today is Paul Bourget. To one of his friends who was marvelling not long ago at their incomparable brilliance he communicated, under an oath of secrecy, this recipe: "First you wash the shoe so-so with some water. Then you dry it and rub blacking cloth over it. Next you take a second cloth, softer than the first, and rub until the shine is perfection itself. Then with a sheep bone you rub for five minutes to fix the blacking, and that operation puts it in the proper condition to receive the polish, which you spread on with your thumb. All you have to do after that is to let it dry." For your shoes to acquire the acad emy brilliancy you polish unceasingly and then polish them some more.— Parls Pele Mele. Sugar as a Disinfectant. A custom has grown up in parts of Europe of burning sugar in slickrooms and has been looked upon as an innocent superstition. Investigations, however, have proved the practice a beneficial and scientific one. Professor Trilbert of the Pasteur institute at Paris demonstrated that burning sugar develop formic acetylene hydrogen one of the most powerful antiseptic gases known. Five grains of sugar in several tests were burned under a glass bell with a capacity of ten quarts. After the vapor had cooled bacilli of typhus, tuberculosis, cholera, smallpox, etc., were placed in the bell in open glass tubes, and within half an hour all the microbes were dead - Stoves and Hardware Reporter.

A fresh outbreak occurred at the penitentiary in Rawlins, Wyo., from twenty to thirty prisoners escaping. Marching through the main street of the town, a running battle tool place and the convicts fled to the hills, pursued by armed citizens. It was reported that seven citizens have been killed in the battle which took place. Shoes are heard at intervals from inside the penitentiary, and it is believed that a battle is in progress there between guards and the remaining prisoners. Two of the escaped convicts have been, killed by the posse. Telegrams are being sent to Governor Carey, at Sheridan, asking for state troops. The town is in a panic, and citizens, heavily armed, are guarding their homes and the homes of those who are in the hills battling with the convicts. The women and children are being gathered into the central portions of the town. SEES FIANCEE KILL BROTHER Was Stabbed to Death While His Sister Looked On. While his sister looked on, Louis C. Powell was stabbed and instantly killed in Columbus, Ohio, by Cleveland Shaver, to whom she was engaged to be married. The young woman, Miss Gladys Powell, a choir singer, had accepted the attentions of Shaver against the objections of her brother. When Shaver escorted Miss Powell home they were met at the gate by young Powell, who started an alteration and was killed by Shaver before Miss Powell could summon help. All the parties concerned are young and well connected. Miss Powell, it is said, declares that Shaver acted in self-defense. KILLS HUSBAND AND SELF Wife Shoots Sleeping Spouse and Puts Bullet Into Her Own Brain. The corpses of M. A. Crosby, cashier of the Bank of Adel, Ga., and his wite were found in their bedroom by their six-year-old son. At the inquest it was decided that Mrs. Crosby had killed her husband as he slept and then killed herself. Sudden insanity on the part of the woman caused the tragedy. Crosby was the wealthiest man in this section of Georgia, and Mrs. Crosby was a social leader. CUT IN TWO. LIVES HOURS Talks to Mother After Train Severed Body Above Hips. Richard Polland, ten years old, his body cut in two by a railroad train in Chicago, died in a hospital after a period of consciousness lasting for over two hours. Polland's body was severed just above the hips. His mother went to the hospital and talked with him before he died. Physicians were at a loss to explain how consciousness, during which the body talked in response to questions, could be retained for so long a time. Mexican Rebels Bob Malls Rebels held up a passenger train 150 miles south of El Paso, Tex., on the border, rifled the mail and expres cars and kidnapped George Cameron, a wealthy stock broker of El Paso.

JACK ROSE BARES MURDER PLOT Asserts Policeman Paid For the Murder and Tried For a Time to Protect the Slayers. Jack Rose told his whole story on the witness stand in New York and the defense failed to catch him in a lie. He made a terrible witness against Lieutenant Becker. Without hesitating, without stopping to weigh his words, without the slighter emotion, he swore that Becker ordered and contrived the murder of Herman Rosenthal to prevent exposure as a blackmailer; that Becker gloated over the dead body as it lay in the West Forty-seventh street station, and that Becker paid for the murder and tried for a-time to protect the murderers. The climax of probably the most remarkable and coherent confession of crime ever heard in these courts was Rose's recital of what he swore were Becker's own words when the lieutenant, coming from the West Forry-seventh street station to meet him and Webber at Sixth avenue and Forty-second street, made this reply to Jack Rose's question as to whether or not he had seen the body. "It was a pleasing sight to me to look and to see that squealing — and if it was not for the presence of the district attorney I would have reached down and cut his tongue out as a warning to future 'squealers." Lieutenant Becker did not blanch or quail. But he was visibly exerting tremendous self-control. His jaw set like a rock. You could see the muscles stiffen. Sweat streamed from his face. One hand gripped his chair, the other the table in front of him. No human being could have been subjected to a worse ordeal. It is only fair to say that the accused man faced without flinching the estimation of 300 pairs of eyes. The direct examination of Rose by Assistant District Attorney Frank Moss gave the state's state wrist witness an opportunity to, volunteer a narrative, grim and sordid and horrid, and which was scarcely ever lightened by a touch of real humanity. It was a tale of grafters and thieves and bad women—a tale of treachery and robbery and murder. The principle characters of his story were men outside the law. Utterly self-possessed, grave at all times, as calm as if tolling a story to friends in a gambling parlor, never excited or frustrated or taken aback, deferential to justice and counsel, wholly without emotion. Rose talked for upward of twelve hours, never futtering, hardly pausing. Mr. McIntyre devoted hours to a merciless cross-examination. He laborer to discredit the witness as a confessed murderer of previous bad record. He drove and stabbed at Rose with savage intensity. But he could not find where Rose had lied or where Rose had contradicted himself in an important detail. Admits Life of Crime. Rose admitted time after time that he had lied, had perjured himself, he had been a gambler and had been engaged for twenty years in illegitimate business. He admitted that he was testifying to save his own life, but said he was telling the truth now. He said he had concluded to become a state's witness only when the electric chair stared him in the face and added that he was not ashamed of his determination. Without emotion, in a slow draw, he said he had deliberately planned, at Becker's behest, to "put Rosenthal where he would never worry anybody else." He knew, he added, that it was a terrible deed to plan. "Where was your conscience?" thundered Becker's lawyer. "I never consult my conscience," he replied slowly and evenly, without a tremor or a break in his voice. "Have you got a conscience?" demanded the lawyer. "I don't know," he said, measuring his words and facing the lawyer squarely. "I never saw it." "Do you now intend to lead a respectable life?" "Yes, but lot in this community. I value my life too much and I wouldn't be a free man here." With words tumbling over each other in their haste, Rose declared that he had been a "true friend" to Sara Schepps and Harry Vallon and had interceded for them with the district attorney. Throughout Rose declared that he had no motive of his own for killing Rosenthal, but had acted solely at Becker's direction. Time and aca. McIntyre quoted alleged conversations between Rose and men of the underworld, apparently in an attempt to prove that Rose himself desired the gambler's death. "No such conversation ever took place," was his stock reply to these questions. "But you were Becker's graft collector—so you say?" "I was." Not once during the day, however were Rose's methods of collecting a legged graft the subject of a question. Medical men assert that, according to well conducted tests, it is shown that the newborn babe is relatively much stronger than a full grown man. The muscles of the forearm are astonishingly vigorous. A few hours after birth a baby suspended by its finger to a stick or to the finger of a grown person can sustain itself in the air for about ten seconds—in the case of particularly strong infants for so long a period as thirty seconds. When four days old an appreciable increase in the infant's strength may be noticed, and the time during which it can thus sustain itself is about two and one-half minutes for 95 per cent of babies. The maximum is attained in two weeks. Few infants can "hang on" for more than one and one-half minutes, although it is of record that one exceptionally developed child remained suspended for two minutes and thirty-eight seconds by his right hand. After that he continued to hang on with his left for fifteen seconds longer. -Harper's Weekly. Grouchy After Waterlog. General Grouchy died May 20. 1847, after battling in vain for thirty years against the legend which held him responsible for the loss of Waterloo. A marquis and a Norman, he yet cast in his fortunes with the revolution, was an object of suspicion in the terror, but soon rose to command as a general officer. In the hundred days he was made a marshal. After Waterloo he withdrew to Paris in good order and proclaimed Napoleon II. Proscribed by the restoration, he found refuge in the United States, but returned to France in 1821. He was restored to his rank as marshal by Louis Philippe and summoned to a seat in the chamber of peers. His son in an uneventful military career was made a general, accompanied his father in his American exile and eventually became a senator of France. Marshal Grouchy passed the greater part of his exile in Philadelphia and after his return to his native land lived at Caen except when his legislative duties called him to Paris—Exchange. Catching a Wolf Alive Catching a Wolf Alive. One of the favorite sports of a Polish country gentleman is to capture a wolf alive. A wolf being driven into the open, the well mounted horseman pursues it, armed only with a long whip and some rope. The wolf after a time tries to take rest, but the rider forces it on with his whip till, after repeated attempts at rest, it sinks exhausted. The rider then springs from his horse, jumps astride the wolf and, holding it by the ears, secures it with the rope. Most men require the assistance of a mounted companion, who ties the wolf while the other holds its ears with both hands, and in this way the capture is comparatively easy, but to do it single handed is a difficult feat. Nasty blites and even dangerous wounds result should the hunter have miscalculated the strength of the animal. No one, however, is considered a perfect sportsman till he has done this, yet many never succeed. How Cowards Were Punished. Many of the devices by which military indifference to life has been matured and sustained are curious. In ancient Athens the public temples were closed to those who refused military service, who deserted their ranks or lost their bucklers, while a law constrained such offenders to sit for three days in the public forum dressed in the garments of a woman. Many a Spartan mother would 'stab her son who came back alive from a defeat, and such a man, if he escaped his mother, was debarred not only from public offices, but from marriage, exposed to the blows of all who chose to strike him, compelled to dress in mean clothing and to wear his beard negligently trimmed. In the same way a horse soldier who fled or lost his shield or received a wound in any save the front part of the body was by law prevented from ever afterward appearing in public. His Method With Tips The president of a certain line of constrwise steamers has a novel system of handling the tip evil. He sends on each of his boats every once and so often a detective, who has instructions to go into the dining room, order a large and elaborate repast and hand the waiter a tip of ten cents. If the waiter is silent or surly after receiving this small gratuity his number is promptly reported. It is said that in no place in the world can such a number of smiling waiters be found as in the dining saloons of this particular steamship line—New York Tribune.

Notwithstanding the hardships which confront the Southern Negroes they today are making greater advancement than the Negroes in the North. The Northern Negro with his political freedom and the free exercise of the ballot, the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press is far behind his brother in the South. The Southern Negro, while it is true he is not allowed to exercise the freedom of the ballot and neither is he permitted to hold office as his brother in the North, he can show more real wealth and he demonstrates more ingenuity and intelligence than his brother in the North. The Negroes in the North seems to be at a loss to know what to do with his ballot or himself. The dangers that confront the Northern Negroes at this time should cause him to open his eyes and act intelligently to the best advantage of his brother in the South. There are many Northern Negroes today who threaten to support the Democratic party and its principles, knowing as he does that the Democratic party is the historic enemy of freedom and Negro citizenship. The Bee doesn't say that all Democrats in the South are opposed to the Negro, but the rank and file of the Democratic party will not permit the Southern Negro to exercise his elective franchise. The Northern Negro with his political power in States that will turn the political tide ought to know how to vote in the coming election. It seems that the filthy lucre is the prevailing power with both white and colored in the North. Principles seem to be disregarded. No colored man should soon forget what he has passed through and is passing through today. If the colored man in the North has any respect for the struggling Negroes in the South he will vote to put the Democratic party where it belongs. He will not realize the danger until it is too late. The Northern Negro doesn't know the humiliation that his females in the South must undergo. He has never been compelled to ride in a box car 6x8, because he has not traveled through the Southern States. Just where the Northern Negro's senses are The Lee doesn't at this time know. It is about time for him to wake up and look around. He will see as he saw under former Democratic rule. Wake up, Northern black man, and do your duty to your God and your country. INTER-MARRIAGES Relentless ostracism, invoked by the better element of both white and colored people, is the inevitable punishment which follows the unwritten law of this country against the solemnizing of a marriage between a white woman and a colored man or vice versa. The miserable mental anguish, the enforced exclusion from all social circles, save those of the unworthy, of all those who break this law is the terrible price which all those who love across its cruel line must pay sooner or later. We do not say that the price is just or fair, nor do we say that it is not a violation of a freeman's inalienable right to marry whom he pleases so long as she is willing. But the fact stares us full in the face that many successful colored men have restricted their future usefulness and have actually hurt the welfare of their race by taking a wife from the other side. It has been too often the case that colored men who have achieved some prominence have apparently sought to forsake their race by taking as the companion of their bosom either a cast-off or mediocre white woman. Colored women feel aggrieved, and prop- --- erly too, when such selections are made, and colored men who admire their own women cannot help but look with contempt upon the colored man who crosses the line for a wife. White men of standing are inclined against the race when such marriages take place, and point to it as an evidence of the colored man's lack of race pride, his desire to be white, and the gen- eral unworthiness of colored women. The excluded, ostracized miserable couple, forever under the finger of scorn of both races, live out a life filled to the uttermost with sad disappointment and grief. Stern conditions make for this. There is no getting away from the punishment that is sure to follow inter-marriage. The number of colored women fit to both honor and make happy the home of any colored man, however great or good, is legion. WONDER OF THE AGE. Dr. Booker T. Washington's annual report, showing Tuskegee's work in the several departments, is just out. Every page of that report is a high testimony to the man whose indefatigable labors, high, unselfish purpose have made that institution, and its founder, the wonder of the age. Under the head of "Financial," the report shows that Tuskegee Institute received during the year, from all sources, $205,178.88; that the endowment fund has now reached $1,859,015.08; that the total valuation of the personal property, lands, buildings and securities amounts to $3,606,825.47. And this represents one man's work during his life time, which is now but at its prime. And that one man is a Negro whose birth was in slavery, and whose life has been spent in that section of the country where the Negro is supposed to be at the greatest possible disadvantage. And when we stop to consider that this vast accumulation of wealth has been made only to educate young men and women of the race; that no other motive prompted this accumulation we cannot help but marvel, and we cannot help but lay wreaths of honor at the feet of this man, who, forgetting 'self', bends all his energies, gives all his time, and plans only for his race. The report also shows that the total farm property, owned by the Negroes in the South, since 1900, has increased from $17,000,000 to $493,000,000. And no one will deny that this wonderful increase in the farm possessions of the Southern Negro is in a very large measure attributable to the efforts and labors, wise counsel and same statesmanship of Dr. Washington. The example set by this wizard has been felt in every Southern community. He has quickened activity among Negroes in every section of the South. There were none before him who even nearly approached him in wisdom and real benefactions to his race. There are none now who can occupy the same high, unselfish, serviceable plain with him. And the present gives no indication of a successor who will equal him. Verily this quiet, self-sacrificing, race-devoted man is the wonder of the age. The world knows him by his fruits. COLONEL ROOSEVELT. Colored men, like white men who condemn violence, the incendiary torch and the assasin's bullet, will condemn the attack made upon Col. Roosevelt's life last Monday night. And colored men, like white men who sympathize with those who suffer, will, and do, sympathize with Col. Roosevelt and his family, and they will pray for a speedy recovery of the country's very remarkable man. Unquestionably politics engenders far too bitter animosities, and prompts, too frequently, intemperate speech and unfounded and unreasonable abuse. Men whose minds are tapering to the point of insanity are liable to be influenced by the bitterness growing out of a political contest and strike down a shining figure, just as Lincoln and Garfield were struck down, and just as Roosevelt was struck down Monday night. We rejoice, however, that up to date, despised, offended and discriminated against as he is, the Negro has never, as yet, been even indirectly connected with the assassin. And today the very people whom Col. Roosevelt would deny representation in one section are sympathizing with him, and wishing for his speedy recovery. It is not now necessary to determe who began the tossing of bitter epithets that has marked this contest. What was is past; what is is, and the thing to do now is to forget the past, and from now on banish billingsgate, bitter invectives and discuss the issues without reference to men. And especially should this be true of colored men who THE CLOVEN FOOT. Chauncey Dewey, Roosevelt's Illinois manager and national committeeman, has declared that if the Negroes refuse to support the Bull Moose party the Bull Moosers will combine with the Democrats to disfranchise the Negroes in the North. Here is a threat that but confirms what we have all along declared—the Progressives, from Roosevelt down, are enemies of the race. Why should the Negro voters, any more than the German, Irish, Italian or Greek voters be thus threatened? Why should the Negro voter not be permitted to vote for his choice the same as any other class of voters? With such a threat hanging over their heads, with the Progressive party resorting to so mean a form of coercion, there is little likelihood of any Negroes voting the Progressive ticket, save the very few who are on the Progressive party's pay roll, and these are mere inimpenious grafters: men without principle or visible means of support; most of whom subsist upon the labor of their wives, same as the Negro Wilson supporters. They are all tarred with the same stick. Mr. Dewey has but shown the Progressive party's cloven foot. BEATING NEGROES The attention of Major Richard Sylvester has been called to the frequent brutal assaults that have been committed by certain members of the police force upon colored citizens. Major Sylvester has been dealing very severe with the officers who insist on using their club without cause on provocation. A few days ago Mr. James H. Dabney witnessed a most brutal assault committed by an officer upon a colored man who seemed to be in an intoxicated condition. Mrs. M. L. Upshur, a highly respected colored citizen was severely beaten with a club, last July because she, it is claimed, resisted arrest. In the police court a few days ago this case was tried and instead of the officer being charged with an assault upon the woman, the lady was found guilty of assault upon the officer and not having a tag on her dog. Six witnesses testified that the dog was tagged and properly so. This club beating by officers of the force will not be tolerated by the chief of police. ROOSEVELT'S POLICY. The Bull Moose candidate for the Presidency is perfectly willing to take the white, Republican of the South, but he doesn't care for Negro Republicans or alleged Negro Democrats. Consistency, thou art a jewel. The great mass meeting at Galbraith Church next Thursday evening, October 24th, will be one of the largest that has ever been held in this city. Everybody should attend this meeting. Dr. Corrothers will preside. The election is but two weeks off. The Negro who has the right of franchise and refuses to exercise it is an enemy to his race. Laborers are wanted in the nitrate fields of Chili. Some of the colored government employees better bear this in mind, increase Wilson is elected. The Democratic House of Representatives inserted in the Executive, Judicial and Legislative appropriation bill a joker requiring an efficiency rating for all civil service employees. Under this provision it will be an easy matter for the Democrats, should they come in power, to dismiss every Negro employee. All a chief will have to do is to rate the Negro employee low. Political spellbinders and workers are spreading themselves over Maryland, trying to convince the Negro voters that their interests lie in Taft's re-election, and gratitude prompts their support of Taft. It would seem unnecessary to remind the Negro voters, especially of Maryland, of their duty, but alas for gratitude. Why is it that Negro patrons of Negro motion picture theatres cheer wildly all Civil War pictures showing victor by the rebels over the Union forces, and every display of Woodrow Wilson's picture? It is a sad reflection upon their understanding. It shows a wooden head on a pair of dark shoulders. Same! WAS THE ARREST JUSTIFIA- BLE? (Continued from page L) cer had struck her? A. No, sir. Q.

C: Harveycutter Testified. Q. Did you see this trouble on 14th Street? A. Not the first part. When I got there the woman had hold of the policeman in the collar; he kept telling her to let go. They struggled like this for about five minutes. Then he took hold of her and struck her across the shins. Then another officer came down the street and she went very quietly. Cross Examination. Q. How often did the officer strike her? A. I don't know how often the officer struck her? Q. But you didn't see her strike the officer? A. No, sir. George Kelly. Q. What was the first thing that drew your attention? drew you attention: A. I wasn't present when the arrest was made. I first saw the defendant in the custody of two officers at 14th and You Streets at the patrol box. I heard the defendant say she would make trouble for them for mating this arrest. Mr. Chase: Q. All you heard her say was; she would make trouble. Mr. sir. John W. Broderick Testified Q. Did you go to the assistance of officer brawner? A. Yes. sir. Q. What was the first thing you noticed when you got there? A. I was standing at 14th and U Street, and saw the crowd. Somebody blew a police whistle. I got there, and the prisoner had gild of him.

Cross Examination. by Mr. Chisee, ask him anything, by Mr. Given, The government's case, your honor, Council for the defendant here moved the court to dismiss both the assault and the case of the dog running without a muzzle, on the ground that the government had not proved either charge. The motion was denied by the court. Fielding Dodson Testified. Q. Where do you live and where are you employed? A. I live at 1901 U Street; employed at the Pension Office. Q. Do you know the defendant here? A. I do now. Q. Did you know her on the 11th day of July last? A. No, sir. Q. Did you see her then? A. Yes, sir. Q. What was she doing when you saw her? A. She was coming across to the southwest corner of 14th street and T with a dog in front of her. There was an officer standing at the southwest corner of 14th and T, and as the dog passed he asked her where was the muzzle on that dog. I happened to be on my way home. She said: The dog has a muzzle on. The dog passed on. She said: he had a muzzle on. She said: I wish you would attend to your own business. Then she called the dog back. There was a strap over the top of his nose. By Mr. Givens. Q. The -trap was fastened over his nose? A. Yes, sir. A. He said; do you call that on? She said; yes. When she started off he said: walk up to the box; she said: For what? She said: if you have a warrant for me I'll go, but if you haven't, I won't go anywhere; I am attending to my own business. I am going to my home. He said, no you are not. She said, well, what have I done? At that time he went to take hold of her and the dog got up and the officer struck the dog with his club, then a tremendous crowd came up. Q. Did she strike him? A. No, sir. The officer struck her a good many times on the way up to the box, and when they got to 14th and T Street she fell. Q. On what part of the body did he strike her? A. He struck her across the lower limbs, on the forearm. When she fell over this box he followed her right up. When she got to the box she called the dog to her and putting her hand under the strap she snapped it up and said: there is his muzzle; isn't that on? Q. Did you see her at any time strike the officer? A. No, sir. Q. That's all. Cross Examination. By Mr. Given: PublicMen And Things My old Virginia friend, Richard R. Horner, as member of the school board, has injected about two grains of uneasiness into the brain cells of a few of our male teachers who, during the summer vacation, pass red liquor in certain cafes in the city. As I arose to remark some time ago, you can never tell when nor where Horner will break out next, but this time he broke out right. I agree with him that teachers, who are supposed to set an example for young boys ought not to become bar room maids. I know it makes a little change for them, during the summer vacation, and some of them may need the change, but it is not very edifying for a fellow who teaches the young idea how to shoot to be lugging beer and other liquors from table to table at some resort where the bibulous assemble to consume fire water. Now these same teachers would rend the air with more protests than a Turkish shiek if some of the women teachers would become waiters in an "Over in the Division" resort, or just modern enough to believe that what's sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander. If we wouldn't stand for the women teachers slinging beer in an "oh-be-joyful" factory we have no right to stand for the men teachers doing the same stunt. It's bad enough when they go and, to some far-off summer resort and sling beer and hash for the extra, but to do it here in the home town is the limit. I commend the gentleman for trying to make the summer vacation bring them in a few long greens, but there are other ways of doing it. It would be better if they drove a coal wagon or piled lumber in a stone yard, or became a member of the "white wings" and put in the time street sweeping. I think Mr. Horner is just about right when he contends that beer slinging and school teaching will not harmonize in the minds of the very aesthetic cultured denizens of this village. A preacher could, with equal justification, be the hired "take-off" in a South Washington crap game. You never could get our women teachers to become barmaids. And they have the same right at that. Ii my rounds about the village I learn that most people agree with Mr. Horner in this last contention. "Better watch, out or the gobblins 'll get you." * * I am informed, by a creditable witness, who is long on news, that Mrs. Julia Layton, wife of Prof. J. T. Layton, who is now trying to show the people in the public schools how to sing in high C. is stumping West Virginia and other points, for the Bull Moose party. Now what influence this speeckat statesman without a vote can exercise is more imperfect to me than the solution of the Pythagorian therum. If I was her watch dog, I would whisper to her, in the Romanian tongue, that her place is at home, and not out in the political field talking nothing for so much per talk. And if I was her hubby, but I aint, I would send her a special delivery letter saying: "Honeybunch, don't you know I ain't no mixture in this job of mine, and no mystery you may cause it to slip away from me? Now, Honey, do take the first motorcycle back home again." I hate to mention a woman's name to criticise her, because of all the lively "flowers" that bloom in the spring, "tra-lala" a woman is the sweetest, when she's sweet, and the best antidote ever given to man. But Mrs. Layton, who is hired to talk for a party that's against the Negro, is making a great big chump of sheer, and doing her husband, who is a very kind, docile husband, and a quiet sort of a citizen, more harm than good. And Mrs. Layton could not turn a single vote one way or the other in four decades. Old Seneca, who was a real sage, once said, in discussing wives: "Now and then they fly off at a tangent." Every woman has a right to politics if she chooses, but somehow we men kinder like best the dear little feature that clings to her home, and makes the house a charming retreat for us when we return "from labor to refreshments." We don't care much for the mannish woirain, however good she is, anymore than does a woman care for the affemnate man—the little shrimp with a baby voice and girlish ways. And besides the average man around Washington bears so much politics before he gets home, he feels that to have a wife who is politically inclined is too much of a good thing. In the language of Soerates, "give me the honeybunch that makes home a garden of Eden and a den of happiness." Only Soerates didn't put it in just exactly so iridescent a style. "Suppose Wilson is elected?" That's what a professional Hamite said to me the other day. Of course the thought sends a cold chill down my spinal column, and I see visions of soup houses and free lunch counter for a many a ham-fatted guy who is now pulling down anywhere from $660 to $1,800 in the government service. If Wilson is elected, dark brown physicians can only charge so cents a visit and then only be able to collect ten cents of that. The carving contingent of the brown medical fraternity will only be able to charge $5 for an operation for an over ripe appendix, and collect only $1.25 of it. All obstetric cases will have to be free. Colored lawyers will get no retainer's fee, all cases will have to be taken on the contingent fee basis, and then they will have as much show of getting it then as the Treble Cleff Club has of holding its meetings in the parlors of the New Willard. The only business colored drug stores will do will be to sell dope, and it will be hard to sell that, even at reduced rates. Colored barber shops will close down, because all the men will grow beards and long hair. Some of these $1,200 to $1,800 clerks will be walking the railroad ties. Fact is the Democrats will clean out the darktown employees in the government service just the same as a pound of Epsom salts will clean out a fellow with one lung and a bum pack of kidneys. I know my friend Bob Waring will expect to rattle around in Jim Cobb's shoes, but when he, and all the other "down-on-the-payroll" patriots advance to the pie counter they will be handed duplicate copies of the receipts they signed for the few simoleons they received, and told, in very understandable English: "Run along little fakes and play with your ambiguous ambition; this is a white man's government." There will be just about as much chance of these scantling-sized colored Democratis for revenue landing a position, if Wilson wins, as there is of California petitioning to Congress to enfranchise Chinamen. And we school teachers will be more or less nervous for the reason that the Southern demmies don't believe in educating the Hammdescendant children, and the Southern demmies are, the whole thing. Now what may follow is a reduction in the appropriation for colored schools. The swell Montican Club will adjourn die, die, and the Muo-Lits will never meet again, if Woody Wilson wins. Now I ain't no calamity howler, but I lived in this berg under Cleveland, and you all remember how many Hamites had to walk the Democratic greased plank, and how few were appointed. The Recorder of Deeds will never go to a colored man, believe me. That's been attended to already. No funny business. I got it straight. The Register of the Treasury, another Africanized office, will be abolished. That's settled. If you don't believe it, go ask Woody. As for the other offices, there is just as much chance of ice remaining concealed in hell as there is of Woody Wilson appointing a dark-complexioned individual to any of them. Mr. Wilson is from Virginia, via of Georgia, and he doesn't know any better. The only darkville residents he likes are the ones who have been snoring out in Harmony Cemetery for the last six or eight years. He loves them. WHO IS THE SAGE? Editor of The Bee: The Sage of the Potomac, I wonder who can be, Who hears our softer whisper, And every fault can see?

But Edward C. no gossip knows And Ralph at heart is nice at Huy- lers. My mind reverts to Peiham, A keen and ready wit, But when that worthy strikes a cord, He's never kind enough to quit. And there is Syndicating Thompson, I might say it was he. But for the fact that he was stung, And therefore hates The Bee. Our Hershaw, too, is clever, But seldom works. Unless it be for Uncle Sam, On whom he never shirks. Again there's Kelly Miller, Of rare and gifted pen, But ignorant of racy slang, And sq is handsome Glenn. I might have mentioned Thos.

Excuse this bold and idle thought, I all but mentioned Waters; The Sage annihilates the blacks, While Phil alone, King's English slaughters. I might have mentioned others too Like Richards, Lucas, Cobb and Hart. All men of wisdom most profound. But strangers to mirth-making art. Thus helplessly I wonder. But cannot find the Sage.

Responding to a rule requiring him to show cause why he should not pay his wife alimony, Philip M. Mitchell, a former railway mail clerk, has filed an answer in the District Supreme Court charging that she "wastes her funds" by giving entertainments to friends, having card parties, and "dressing expensively." The further accusation is made that "she has gone so far as to get up in church and make slanderous charges against him, and goes out of her way to defame him publicly, and to any one who will listen to her." In explaining his inability to pay his wife, Olivia M. Mitchell, $25 a month, Mitchell alleges that he lost his position because of his failure to pass an examination because of the state of his mind in worrying over his marital troubles. He claims that in a former divorce suit, which was dismissed by the court, his wife humiliated him by naming two co-respondents. Mitchell avers that his wife is persecuting him, and that she theatened to keep after him with divorces, saying that if she was not successful she would "try again." --- Mr. Newcar (about to start on his first trip in his recently purchased motorcar, to his chauffeur)—Now, William, I want it thoroughly understood I will hot have fast driving.

The Fiddle Drill The "fiddle drill" is one of the oldest stonecutting tools in existence. It is said to antedate Greek sculpture and is in use today in about the same form as it was 2,000 years ago. As its name implies, its action resembles a fiddle. The drill is of two pieces. In one hand a carver holds the drill stock, which is like a carpenter's brace, except that it is straight instead of having a crank. In the other hand he holds the "bow," which is strung with a brass wire and which is given a turn around the drill stock. To use the drill the carver places the drill stock against his breast, holding it with his left hand, and with his right he draws the bow back and forth. Fiddle fashion. This imparts a rotary motion to the drill stock, and the drill is ground to cut in either way it turns. The fiddle drill is used in the finest work, in crevices where the sculptor could not reach with his chisel and hammer without endangering the carving Queer, but Correct. Professor Bradner Matthews, in his quality of philologist, said one day in New York: "The past participle, 'gotten,' has gone out in England, though it still lingers on with us. In England, how ever, 'gotten' is almost as obsolete as 'putten.' "In some parts of Cumberland the villagers still use 'gotten' and 'putten,' and a pupil teacher once told me of a lesson on these past participles where in she gave her pupils an exercise to write on the blackboard. "In the midst of the exercise an urchin began to laugh. She asked him why he was laughing and he answered: "Joe's put putten where he should have putten put." Saved by Knowledge.

Automatic devices of all kinds are popular and are used for a thousand purposes. At all postoffices stamps and post cards are sold by automatic machines; at the railway stations platform tickets and suburban tickets are sold by automats; automat restaurants, where one can secure a glass of beer, wine or liquor, a sandwich, square meal, cup of coffee, chocolate, etc., by dropping a coin in the slot, abound everywhere. Every city of 15,000 or 20,000 population and over has from one to several hundred such restaurants. At railway stations automats sell chocolate, candy, picture post cards and even a little kit of "first aid to the injured" containing a few drops of pain killer, bandages, needle, thread, etc. Ten pfennigs in a slot opens the door of toilet compartments, delivering a towel or piece of soap.

'Flowers and Facts. There is an Indianapolis attorney who is known for his dignity and who rarely indulges in "flowery" oratory in arguing a case. Some years ago, however, he was engaged in a murder case in which the guilt of the prisoner was apparent, and the lawyer's friends advised him to be "flowery" in an effort to appeal to the sentiment of the jurors. So the attorney took his friends' advice. "Down in the hills of old Kentucky stands a little cottage," he began. "Around the cottage vines are clinging, and in the doorway stands a gray haired mother waiting— "As I was saying, down in the hills of old Kentucky stands a little cottage Around the cottage vines are clinging, and in the doorway stands a gray hairred mother waiting"— The lawyer paused, and his face turned red. "And while she is standing there waiting," he continued, "I guess we might as well discuss the facts in this case"—Indianapolis News. Street Crowds In Caracas. One of the features of the city of Caracas, Venezuela, that most strongly impresses a foreigner is the rapidity with which a crowd gathers in the streets. This is best exemplified when some of the many wandering musicians, in whom Caracas abounds, prepare to give an impromptu open air concert. Their first notes no sooner echo through the neighborhood than there gathers to listen a vast throng that almost blocks up the thoroughfare. The cobblers and all the other tenants of the entries, having no doors to open or stairs to descend, are on the spot almost instanter. They eagerly drink in the music, but at the same time bear a wary eye upon the hats of the musicians and no sooner do they observe the slightest indication that one is about to be taken off for the purpose of taking up a collection by passing it around among the crowd than they disappear even more quickly than they came. An Offended Painter Here is a story of Whistler's irasible treatment of Lady Meux, of whom he painted three portraits. It is told in Thomas Way's "Memoirs of Whistler." "In view of the number of sittings Whistler wanted and his severe treatment of his models. I think it enormously to the credit of Lady Meux that she should have continued through two and started on the third portrait in which she was painted wearing a mantle of Russian sables. There was a story that, being one day not up to the mark, she sent her maid to stand for her, dressed in the sables. This so offended Whistler that promptly the maid's face appeared in place of that of the mistress; and, if the picture still exists, there it probably remains." Historic Pharsalia. It was on his way to the battlefield of Pharsalla that Caesar uttered the famous saying to the fishermen. He had come down to Birkdjisi to cross to Dyrrachium and, finding no galley, commanded the owner of a small sailing boat to put him across the Adriatic.

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.

At first he declined, but the peddler claimed for the plpe a power of fore: cast and told him he would serve three emperors as minister and that three {mportant changes in Ife would be foretold by accidents befalling the pipe. Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe. He served three emperors, ani two days before the historic occasion when he was refused an audience thy stem of the pipe fell to pieces. Later he chipped a plece from the side of the bowl accidentally, and within g month his practical dismissal by the emperor occurred.

President Taft Deserves Much Credit For the Defeat of the Nefarious Schemes of Maryland Demacrats. ‘The Republican party wrote into the organic Inw the declaration which pro- ‘claims the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. The Demo- cratie party has enacted in the south- erm states, which It controls, laws ‘which, by means of various devices. are really almed at the disfranchise- ment of the race for reasons of color alone. Three attempts have been made ‘by the Democrats of Maryland ta dis- franchise the colored voters of that state. The Maryland Republicans have stood solidly against every attempt ut disfranchisement, and in two of these fights which have occurred since Mr. Taft's election as president, they have had his active support. In December, 1908, Just after Mr. Taft had been elected and before he ‘had been Inaugurated, in answer to a letter of the Hon. Willlam F. Stone, collector of the port of Baltimore, for the purpose of obtaining his views, the president made the following reply: Taft Opposes Disfranchisement. “My Dear Mr, Stone—I havé your letter of Dee. 9, but have not been able to answer ft until now, I don’t think any one can read my North Carolina speech with ang care and on that base the belief that I would favor such 2 “bill as that proposed tn Maryland. The provision that the first class of ellgible voters shall be those persons who on the Ist day of January in the year 1869, or prior thereto, were entitled to vote under the laws of Maryland or any other state of the United States wherein they then resided, and that the male descendants of such persons. as a second class. shall be entitled to vote, was Intended to exempt the per- sons thus made eligible from the cdu- jcational or property qualifications Which follow in the descriptions of the fifth and sixth classes of persons who shall be entitled to vote. “The same thing may be sald of the third and fourth classes, which in- lclude foreign born citizens of the United States naturalized between Jan. 1, 1869, and the date of the adoption of the proposed section and the male descendants of such mentioned per- sons. ‘This ts in order to exempt. such immigrants and thelr descendants from educational or property qualifications. “Now we know the first four classes include no Negroes at all. In other words, it is intended to free the whites from educational or property" qualifica. tions, but to subject all Negroes to them. “The whole law ought to be condemn: ed. It is not drawn in the spirit of fustice and equality, having regard for the fourteenth and fifteenth amend. ments, and I sincerely hope that no Re publican who desires equality of trent ment to the black and whlte races will vote for it. Sincerely yours, “WILLIAM I. TAFT.” The Afro-American and His Debt tc the Reoublican Pariv. If the Afro-American citizen recalls the past he must acknowledge that ev ery privilege he has in this countrs came to him at the hands of the Ie- publican party. The Demoerits op- posed evety proposition looking toward hig welfare during the long struggle over the Nezro question in the years following the slaveholders’ rebellion. The history of the United States tells A conclusive story on these points. Freedom, manhood, education, suffraze, opportunity, were given by the party of which Taft and Sherthan are the standard bearers, To the Democratic party the race owes 256 years of slavery, peonaze. disfranchisement, Jimcrowism, lynch- ing, curtailment of educational facili- ties, segregation, Lumillation and dev. ‘radation. - NO CLASS LEGISLATION. 1 emphasize as my party’s creed and my faith that in leg- islation and administration favor should be extended to no class, no sect, no race, To foster class hatred, to foster discontent, is un-Republican and un-American. Our party stands on the declara- tion that all men are created with equal rights, and it will have no part in the enactment or exe- cution of any law that does not apply alike to all good American citizens—Vice President Sher- man, Extract From Republican Platform. The Republican party reairms Its intention to uphold the integrity of the courts, both state and federal, and it will ever insist that thelr powers to enforce their processes and to protect Ufe, liberty and property shall be pre- served inviolate. We call upon the people to quicken their Interest In public affairs, to con- demn and punish lynehings and other forms of lawlessness and to strengthen in all possible ways a respect for law and an observance of it. i In Cuba the Afro-American soliicts astonished the world by thelr bravery and coolness under fire. They were Gghting to free the beautiful Isle from the Spanish yoke. It was a Repub lican president, McKinley, who com- missloned 266 ‘men of the race to lead their men to battle. ‘The progress of the Afro-American People In fifty years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race similarly enyironed recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican pagty. ~" ‘The.Coloniat Shoemaker. American supremacy In shoemakinr fs due largely to specialization.

The Better Part of Valor. Nobody ever called tp question the courage of the early Spanish settlers of Callfornia. but there'seems to have /been at least one man among thelr descendants who held discretion to be the better part of valor. A certain Don Andreas was interrlewed by bls supe rior officer on the eve of an engagement with the enemy and was warned that the American was a very different foe from the Indian or the Mexican and that courage shoutd not be pushed te rashness in an encounter with him. “Have no fear, general,” was the re sponse of the intrepid caballero. “I would far rather that history should record’ from where I fled than where | fell.” .

How long have you known Mrs. Upshur? A. About ten years. Q. Of what church are you the pastor? A. Walker Memorial. By Mr. Given: Oh, we'll admit her previous good reputation. Rev. W. S. Jackson Testified. Q. What church are you pastor of? A. Simpson M; E. Q. You know Mrs. Upshur? A. Yes, sir. I am her pastor. I have been knowing her about eight years. Been her pastor about four. She is a member of my choir and one of the best members of the church. She is always quiet and I visit her most any time and preach a litter sermon to her. At the conclusion of the testimony of witnesses, Mr. Chase argued that it was the most brutal assault ever committed upon anybody, let alone a woman. That the arrest was unjustifiable, and no matter what was done subsequently by the defendant, she could not be liable. That Major Sylvester for years has endeavored to put a stop to these vicious assaults by members of the police force upon citizens. The officer's testimony is in no sense corroborated by his own witnesses. The prosecuting witness, Brawner, has been contradicted in every sense, as will be seen by the testimony of witnesses. At the conclusion of Mr. Chase's argument the prosecutor spoke. Mr. Given said in part that the government had made out a case; that the dependant resisted the officer from the very start. He dwelt upon the testimony of Fielding Dodson, who said that Mrs. Upshur, in her attempt to show the officer the dog had on a muzzle snapped the strap. Mr. Chase said that Mr. Dodson meant that she raised the strap from off the dog's nose. In summing up the case Judge Aukum said that he could not see but what the defendant was guilty, and would impose a fine of five dollars in the dog case and as the alleged assault upon the officer was technical he would take her personal bonds. Mr. Chase noted motion for a new trial. The Motion Overruled. In the Police Court Wednesday, October 16th, this week, the argument on the motion for new trial was argued by Mr. Chase. Before the argument begun, Mr. Chase called to the stand Melville McKinley Loftus, who testified that when he saw the officer he was coming up 14th Street and Mrs. Upshur's fox terrier dog was following her: He saw the officer striking Mrs. Upshur about her shoulders and legs, and he also stated that the dog had on a leather muzzle, which was identified by the witness. Mr. Dodson was recalled, who testified what was misunderstood by the court. What he meant and what he said in his former testimony were: Mrs. Upshur raised the strap up off the dog's nose (showing how) and not that the muzzle was off. After an heated argument between the prosecutor and Mr. Chase, Judge Aukum said there was no expert testimony that this was the proper regulation muzzle, and hence he would overrule the motion for a new trial. This has since been presented to Major Sylvester, who has it under consideration. After it is disposed of by the police department it will be presented to the Attorney General. Death of Mrs. Parker.

In an address to an audience of colored voters in the Third Ward Wednesday night, held at 1000 Twenty-first Avenue, North, J. C. Napier, the Negro leader, declared that Horace Greely failed in his effort to distract the Negro from the Republican party when he favored Negro disfranchisement, and that Mr. Roosevelt, with his anti-suffrage propaganda, is destined to make an even greater failure along this line. Napier said that he is entirely satisfied with the hopeful and propitious outlook for President Taft's re-election, and that he is --- CIAL COLLEGE. AND APPLIED SCIENCES. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS.

He claimed that the general impression among the Negroes is that Roosevelt, if anything, is a sensationalist and a "bundle of inconsistencies." The Negro understands, said Napier, that if one line of treatment is laid down for him in the North and another line in the South, it will be a return to the conditions which Abraham Lincoln described when he said a country could not be half free and half slave. "Until there is a change in the principles of Republicanism," Napier declared, "or the propaganda of the other parties, the Negroes of this country will continue to believe in the doctrine enunciated by Fred Douglas when he said, 'to the Negro the Republican party is the ship—all else is the sea'." The speaker was given considerable applause throughout. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Law Enforcement League of the Third Ward, and others who were to speak were: S. H.
