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. 25 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30, 1912 REV. W. H. BROOKS His 30th Anniversary—A Great Ovation by His People—Address and Presentation—Many Distinguished Ministers Present—Excellent Music Rev. Walter H. Brooks, one of the best known and most eloquent pasters in this country, and pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church for thirty years, was honored last Monday evening as no man was honored by his people and the clergy in this city. Every minister of every denomination in this city, with but one exception, was present to do honor to a man who has the respect and confidence of his people and the community at large. The occasion was the thirtieth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., L. J. D. For thirty years, from November 1882 to November 1912, this distinguished man has been the spiritual teacher of his people. Loved by old and young, rich and poor, Rev. Brooks was paid a compliment that will be handed down to posterity and placed among the other archives of this well known and progressive church. The occasion was enlivened by music under the direction of Dr. James T. Walker and his choir, assisted by that great organist, Prof. J. E. Lemos and Mrs. Lena H. Ware, the well-known organist of the church. The singing by the choir and organ solo by Prof. Lemos, with Madam Ware, could not be surpassed by the chairman, Mrs. Marie E. Adams, who presented Mr. J. F. M. Brown, the master of ceremonies, who read the ordination address delivered by Rev. Brooks thirty years ago. It was listened to with great interest. The following was the program of exercises: Organ Voluntary—Mrs. Lena H Ware, Organist. Meeting called to order by chairman—Mrs. Maria E. Adams. Hymn, Choir-Dr. J. T. Walker, Director, Invocation--Rev. Wm. Walker. Music—Selected. Remarks—Presiding officer (3 minutes) Remarks—Mrs. R. E. Lawson, 3 minutes. Music. The Deacon Board—Mr. Lawrence Clarke. The C. E. Society—Miss Essie Jackson. 3 minutes. The Trustee Board—Wm. I. Lee, chairman. Music. The Sunday School—Benj. Washington, Superintendent. Junior C. E. Society—Mrs. McEntra, 3 minutes. Music—Prof. J. E. Lemos. For the Church—Wm. B. Harris, clerk. Souvenir Poem-"Thirty Years Ago"-Ella M. Boston, 3 minutes. The Ushers-Wm. M. Johnson, 3 minutes. Informal two minute remarks by invited guests. Benediction. Special mention is made of the scholarly and eloquent address of Mr. Wm. I. Lee, which was full of logic and pathos; Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson, Miss Essie Jackson and the poem of Miss Boston. A very interesting report of the work of the church under the pastorate of Rev. Brooks was read by Mr. Harris. Mrs. Laura F. Queen, no doubt one of the most active workers in the Baptist denomination, and superintendent of the Old Folks' Home, delivered two very interesting presentation addresses. The first one was a purse filled with money, and this was followed by the presentation of a large bunch of chrysanthemums. Mrs. Queen was followed by Rev Jarvis, president of the Baptist Ministers' meeting, introduced a representative of the Union who delivered a most eloquent presentation address with two pieces of gold. These token of esteem were highly appreciated by the distinguished pastor, who responded with a very touching and appealing address. At the conclusion of Rev. Brooks' address, Rev. M. W. Clair, pastor of Asbury Church, was introduced and delivered one of his characteristic addresses. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee, was introduced and made a few remarks. At the conclusion of the exercises the invited guests repaired to the lecture room below, where a table the full length of the church, was set, beautifully decorated with flowers and palms, under the supervision of that well know and popular president of the Young Men's Protective League, Mr. Aldridge Lewis, and a committee of ladies. Conspicuous among the invited guests were the daughters of Rev. Brooks, Revs. M. W. Clair, Ricks, Loving, Talliferro, of Philadelphia; J. Anderson Taylor, Dr. Charles H. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Maxfield, and daughter. Miss Gonevia, Miss Mason, Rev. W. J. Howard, wife and daughters, Dr. Cabiness and wife, Prof. J. T. and Mrs. Layton, Mrs. J. H. Holmes, Rev. Brown, of St. Lukes, Rev. Garner and wife, J. I. Loving, Mr. Samuel Watson, and many others. Dr. Charles H. Marshall was paid a high and deserving compliment by the several speakers. He was mentioned as one of the great pillars and factors in the community and the 10th Street Baptist Church. Negro Business League. Topeka, Kansas. The Topeka Negro Business League, under the officership of Messrs. G. D/ Olden, president, and J. M. Wright, secretary, held its reg- ular meeting Monday, November 11. at the league headquarters. The thing about this local Negro Business League is that it not only holds regular meetings, but has a regular and stated headquarters for its meetings. It has a committee on Trade Extension, which is called upon to make its reports at every meeting. At the meeting held last week, very attractive business proposition was submitted, and all of the members brought along their check books. Under the direction of the local league of Topeka, two coal yards have been established this fall, a moving picture theatre has been fully financed, and will be open to the public in two weeks. The Topeka League is already planning its arrangement for the Kansas State Negro Business League, which is to be held in February, 1913. We feel that the business league of Topeka is a model for other local leagues. BLACK CABINET. Gives a Consolation Dinner, O'Possum Being The Chief Piece de Resistance—A Delightful Affair Set With Humor and Jolity. One of the jolliest little affairs ever pulled off in this city was the o'possum dinner given by the "Black Cabinet" last Thursday evening at Gray's Cafe, Dr. Booker T. Washington shipped, from Tuskegee, four prune o'possums, and a trunk full of delicious Tuskegee sweet potatoes to the cabinet with the suggestion that they have a "consolation" dinner. A few friends, who had entertained the members as a body at some previous time, were invited, and an evening of genuine enjoyment followed. When the o'possum, with its rich gravy, and sweet potatoes "lying all around" was served, never a thought was given to the late election and the consequences that may follow, but all revealed in enjoyment. Ralph W. Tyler presided and acted as toastmaster, introducing the several speakers with some humorous reference. All the responses were perfect gems of humor. The menu consisted of oysters baked on the half shell, o'possum and sweet potatoes, prepared a la Jackson, hominy, cold slaw, sweet cider, and coffee. The table was fetchingly decorated with autumn leaves, and here and there a bouquet of red carnations. Those present as guests were: Drs. Wmi, Warfield, Curtis, Curtisan, Williston, McNeill and C. Sunner Wormley, W. L. Houston, Col. Arthur Brooks, Wyatt Archer, Prof. R. C. Bruce, Chas. Lee, Josiah Settle, of Memphis, Tenn, and Wm. Calvin Chase. The members of the Black Cabinet present were: Wm. H. Lewis, Judge R. H. Terrill, J. C. Napier, Ralph W. Tyler, Whitfield McKinlay, and Jas. A. Cobb, the only absent member being Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was detained at Atlanta, Ga, where he had been called by business. Responses were made by J. C. Napier, Drs. Williston, Curtis and Warfield, Messrs. Lewis, Terrell, Cobb, McKinlay, Houston, Settle, Bruce and Chase. One of the cleverest, and greatest laughter-provoking features of the affair, was the fake telegram read by Dr. Curtis, which was as follows: To Dr. A. M. Curtis, Aboard Steamship Bermudian, en route Hamilton, Bermuda; Am on my way to Salt Kettle, Bermuda, for a conference with President-elect Wilson pertaining to appointments of colored men to federal positions at Washington. Shall recommend retention of one office holder in person of Henry Lincoln Johnson, whom Gov. Wilson thinks should be reappointed. The Governor feels he owes his election more to Col. Johnson than any other one man, for it was his personal efforts with the colored delegates from the South, and especially from Georgia, which made President Taft's nomination secure and his defeat sure. We think that the federal positions in Washington should go to the "faithfuls," in the District of Columbia, for the following reasons: The Democratic victory has been so widespread there are "loaves" sufficient in the States and cities to go around to the fellows who have worked for State and municipal tickets. We feel that those in Washington will be better qualified for said positions, as they know the "ropes." We have selected the following for Judge Terrell's position, Judge E. M. Hewlett; for R. W. Tyler's position, R. R. Horner; for J. C. Napier's, Rev. Milton Waldron; Wm. Lewis, Nap. Marshall; for J. A. Cobb's, Bob Waring; for Whitfield McKinlay's, Samuel C Foley. Don't let the newspapers get this information, as it may cause some embarrassment to Gov. Wilson. This is confidential. (Signed) Bishop Alexander Walters EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN. To the Colored People of the South: This season of the year, for several years, I have spoken a word to you regarding the importance of building up a good, first-class school in every community. Plans are on the way by which during the third week in October, 1913, the colored people throughout the United States will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their actual freedom as a race. In this connection it is of the greatest importance that we be able to show to the world the progress that we have made in sustaining and building up first-class public schools, especially in the rural districts. During the last fifty years we have succeeded in reducing our ignorance 1910 Is still forging to the front His Seed visit through the West. The The Great Educator Succeeding despite impediments. from 97 per cent to 30 per cent. This is a fine showing for fifty years of freedom. We must not stop, we must go further. The greatest points of weakness just now are in the small country districts. In every case where there are already proper school facilities, the business men, together with the ministers and teachers, should appeal constantly to the public school authorities to see that better provisions are made. Unless we look out for ourselves, we cannot expect other people to do so. As an illustration of what united and constant effort can accomplish, I would state that during the last five years the colored people in Macon County, Alabama, have contributed $12,133.05 toward the building of new schoolhouses; in addition they have contributed $14,000 toward the extension of school terms in the country. The result is that nearly every school district in Macon County has a first-class school house, well painted and well furnished; the school term has been extended from four to seven months in the year, and the people are continuing to contribute in the way of extra taxation toward the upkeep of public schools. Something of this kind can be done in every county in the South where there are not satisfactory facilities. In order to indicate the problem that is before us, I understand, on good authority, that in Louisiana in one parish where there are 8,000 colored people, there is no school building in the entire parish. Of course, such a condition means ignorance, and ignorance means poverty, and poverty means crime. We must not cease to agitate the question of education, to keep the white people in our communities informed concerning our educational interests and desires. We cannot get something for nothing. It is only through constant effort that we shall get education for our children. While in many parts of the South the educational opportunities are so few that it is almost discouraging, in other sections the outlook is bright. For example, at a meeting of the county superintendents of Alabama called by the State Superintendent of Education in Montgomery a few days ago, the following sentiment relating to the Negro, was unanimously endorsed: "By providing him with school and churches instead of poison and whiskey, he will make a better, and more useful citizen, according to one delegate present. Others expressed their opinion on the Negroes' relation to education, and it was the unanimous opinion that the race should be aided as much as possible by the State." It is encouraging to note, too, that in many counties in the South, the teachers are under the supervision and guidance of Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Anna T. Jeanes Fund, and are doing much to improve the education of the race and to bring about better relations between black and white people. These Jeanes Fund teachers should have the constant support and co-operation of our leaders wherever they are at work. In conclusion, let me urge ministers, teachers, business men, women's clubs, and all classes to unite and make this a banner year in the matter of improving the public schools for our race. (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. November 23, 1912 NOTES INDICATING NEGRO BUSINESS PROGRESS. (Supplied by the National Negro Business League.) On October 18th, four new Negro schools were dedicated in Wichita, Kansas. About ten per cent of the farm land in Jefferson county, Missouri, is owned by Negroes. A. H. Holmes, of McRae, Georgia, has raised two acres of rice on land which was supposed to be unfit for the cultivation of this grain. The Negro laborers of Bryan, Texas, have had their wages gradually increased from $1.50 to $2.50 per day. In the same town an undertaking concern, beginning with $2,000 capital, is prospering. The F. D. McGhee Undertaking Establishment has been incorporated in Oakland, Cal., for $10,000. The manager, Mr. McGhee, is a graduate of the Barnes School of Embalming and Sanitary Science of Chicago, Ill. Deal Jackson, a Negro, brought to market in South Georgia, on September 3, the first bale of cotton made this season in the whole South. With but few exceptions he has won this distinction for a number of years in succession. That there are 121 colored people in business and twenty-five in the professions in Columbus, Ohio, is but another sign that the Negro of the North is coming into his own. There are among the business men six coal dealers, three contractors, four confectioners, three feed merchants, four hotel keepers, eight restaurant keepers, and five shoemakers. Watt Terry, who was born in Virginia, left home some years ago for Brocton, Mass., where he became coachmen. Later he became assistant janitor of the Brocton Young Men's Christian Association. Here he became interested in the night school and studied with diligence. Leaving the Young Men's Christian Association he entered the Pullman car service. Returning to Brocton he worked in a shoe factory for seven dollars per week. It was while working in the shoe factory that Terry became interested in the real estate business. Today, he owns $500,000 worth of the choicest real estate in Brocton. In Houston, Texas, the colored people have thirty barber shops, one bank, one dry goods store, three undertaking establishments, two bakeries, six printing offices, forty groceries, five newspapers, twelve contractors, one brickyard, nine lawyers, four dentists, sixteen doctors, three drug stores, ten real estate agents, six notary publics, five peace officers, two carriage and wagon manufactories, twenty-one blacksmith shops, thirty restaurants, four hotels, two insurance associations, one badge factory, two beauty parlors, three jewelers, four ice cream factories, one business college, two night schools, two architects sixteen hucksters, fourteen trained nurses, twelve music teachers, fifty dressmakers, one kindergarten, six manicurists, two chiropodists, one veterinary surgeon, three cemeteries, eighteen painters, six cabinet makers, three plasterers, one sign painter, one second-hand store, six cement contractors, two stone cutters, fourteen brick masons, three tailor shops, four hack lines, two steam laundries, and two photographers. INAUGURATION WEEK. The Biggest Event in Athletic Sports. What Visitors Will See in March. The colored people' of Washington will hold the biggest Athletic Carnival ever held by members of the race during the week of the Inauguration, at Convention Hall, in this city. Coming right along at the time when the city will be over-run with visitors from the States, bent on holiday enjoyment, the management confidently expects this meet to eclipse all other efforts that have been put forth in this line. Arrangements for the meet are being conducted by a joint committee representing the Public-Schools' Athletic League of Washington, D. C.; the Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association of the Public Schools of Washington; and the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association of the Middle Atlantic States, with offices in Washington. Mr. E. B. Henderson, physical director of M Street High School and Armstrong Manual Training School, secretary of the P. S. A. L., and general manager of the I. S. A. A., is chairman of the Games Committee in charge of the meet. Mr. G. C. Wilkinson, principal of Armstrong Manual Training School, Mr. Compton of Commercial High School and Professor Charles Syphax, of Howard University, represent the I. S. A. A. on the committee. Miss A. E. Thompson, principal of Slater School; W. D. Nixon, of M Street High School; A. C. Newman, principal of the Cardoza Vocational School and assistant, director of night schools; and J. C. Payne, principal of Banneker School, represent the T. B. A. A. G. B. Key chairman; S. D. Matthews, J. O. Montgomery and W. A. Hamilton, of the elementary schools games committee of the P. S. A. L., represent the School Athletic League. The committee is now working hard to get a list of patrons whose contributions will guarantee the success of the meet from the financial end, and who will get choice of the best seats when they are put on sale after Thanksgiving. Athletic events have been arranged for competition by athletes representing colored colleges under the rules of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Association formed last spring. Lincoln, Hampton, Howard University, Shaw University, and other large schools are expected to be represented in this class. Events have been arranged for the scholastic athletes of the Middle Atlantic States. Elementary school boys of the District of Columbia will test their indoor track abilities and sprint events, while Y. M. C. A., Club and unattached athletes will meet in events of track and field. Three championship basket ball games for the city championship of schools will be played in the lightweight and heavyweight classes on courts at each end of the Hall, while a Class "A" game, to be announced later, will take place on the middle court. For information, see any members of the Games Committee: School Athletics. The Public Schools Athletic League series of basket ball games for the championship of the elementary schools of the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th divisions have begun, and will be soon in full blast all over the city On Thursday afternoon in the gymnasium of the Armstrong Manual Training School, Slater heavyweight team put it all over the Mott aggregation by the score of 22 to 6. The playing of Gilmore of the winning team, was the feature of the game. These two teams meet again later, and Mott players vow that they will come off the victors. On Friday afternoon, two-crackerjack lightweight teams representing Garnet and Slater schools met with the Slater bunch coming off again with the big end of the score of 11 to 2. Erskine Lacy proved the hero of the day. The Garnet boys played well, and during the first half neither team had any advantage, but in the final session Slater boys got in some good team work and shots that told for points. Garnet will improve and make it interesting later. The two heavyweight teams that followed put up a sorry showing when compared with the two quints that preceded them. Langston team had only two boys present, and neither of the two were in uniform. Bruce school boys were on the floor uniformed, in stocking feet, and won the game by forfeit for the non-appearance of the Langston team. There are no reasons why teams of boys should not be uniformed, and the uniform not only adds to the spirit of school and team loyalty, but playing an organized game like this demands that the boys be clad to perspire freely and move quickly. The schools of Garnet and Slater were well represented by school crowds. Summary. The next game will be played Wednesday night, between eight teams of the 11th division at the gymnasium of the Armstrong Manual Training School. Rumors that Secretary Meyer of the Navy Department, was about to resign, has brought about an emphatic denial from the Secretary himself, in which he said he had no intention of relinquishing his post before the end of President, Taft's administration. DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) Bright's disease has been called the malady of civilization, and the name is not unmerited, and it is claimed to be a disease of the white men. Late government reports indicate that the malady kills about 35,000 Americans of the highest quality and usefulness. Most of them are brain workers. Seneca Larke, the only aboriginal American in the New York fire department, will get a Thanksgiving present of $500 in gold in recognition of his heroism last January. More than $86,000,000 was sent out of the United States to foreign lands in the fiscal year ended June 30 last in postal money orders according to the annual report of Auditor Charles A. Kram. John Schrank, who shot Col. Roosevelt, was taken to the Northern Hospital for the Insane, where perhaps he will spend his life should he ever be pronounced cured he will be tried for the attempt on Col. Roosevelt's life. The first Sunday school was established by Robert Raikes, an English philanthropist, about 1784. What was probably the first in America was founded by Thomas Crenshaw a Methodist, in Hanover County, Va., in 1786. The First Church of Christ Scientist of this city, is bequeathed $10,000 for the promotion of Christian Science in this city by the will of Mrs. Ella M. Post, who left an estate of $220,000. If the bill drafted by the Central Citizens' Association takes effect, the District of Columbia will have Jim Crow cars. Miss Mary B. Porter, in an address, says "China is being Christianized." The Chinese no longer look upon the missionaries as demons, possessed of evil spirits come to destroy them." The work of relief in the Western part of the Island, recently devastated by a hurricane, is being vigorously carried on. The damage is estimated at about $1,500,000. Allay conditions in this city are responsible for an annual death rate of 373 but of every 1,000 among infants under one year of age, born in alleys, according to figures of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones. Five young men, officers and enlisted men in Uncle Sam's active military force, have been awarded medals of honor. The cloth woven by the ancient Egyptians was so durable that though it has been used for thousands of years as wrappings of the mummies, the Arabs of today can wear it. It is all of linen, the ancient Egyptians considering wool unclean. Not until thirteen years following the settling of Massachusetts, did Thanksgiving Day receive official State cognizance, although it was observed by church-going people. Andrew Carnegie celebrated the seventy-seventh anniversary of his birth last Monday by inviting eighteen of his closest friends to a formal dinner. The morning hours were spent in work relating to the Carnegie corporation, which has charge of all his philanthropic work. The elephant requires less sleep than any other animal. In spite of their capacity for hard work, these giants seldom if ever, sleep more than four or occasionally five hours. B. R. Tillman, Jr., son of the United States Senator, is trying to obtain possession of his two children. The case will be brought up in the State Supreme Court in South Carolina. The Black Cabinet under the present administration is strong. Jack Johnson is now being defended by Negro lawyers. His Reception in the East. New York, Nov. 26. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., is in the city. He will leave tonight for his home in Durham, N. C. His reception in the East has been most flattering. He is making preparation for his great second Western tour. His second tour in the East will be far greater and more productive than his first tour. There is no man in this country who has made greater progress with his school at Durham than this enterprising and progressive educator. From all reports the National Religious Training School at Durham, of which Dr. Shepard is president, is more largely attended this year than it has ever been since its organization. Three more buildings will be erected next spring. Plans are in preparation. THE HOME OF THE HUNTINGFORD MUSEUM National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C. A GENEROUS RESPONSE TO APPEAL FOR "GROCERY DAY." For the past thirty days, much has been said and written concerning the "Annual Grocery Day" for the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C. This institution has no source of steady income, and they must not only pay salaries and make necessary improvements, but provide three meals each day for a large number of students, knowing that the friends of Washington and vicinity, would be only too to assist in every way possible, in the work of the institution, the cement inaugurated "Grocery Day" last year. The friends rallied upon, and when the inventory was taken, a good stock of staple groceries was in the store room. Friends have been no less-generous this year, and as a result, the "Grocery Day" has been a marvelous success.

HOPE FOR PEACE AS WAR RESUMES Fighting Has Been Renewed Along the Entire Line of the Defenses at Tchatalja. "Come and take them," the defiant reply of the Turks to the demand made by the allied Balkan nations for the evacuation of the line of fortifications at Tchatalja in front of Constantople, is not believed in diplomatic circles in London, Eng., necessarily to means the end of the negotiations for an armistice, even though fighting has been resumed. The announcement from Sofia of the appointment of Bulgarian plenipotentiaries to discuss the terms of an armistice with the Turkish envoy tends to confirm the contention of diplomas that the Ottoman rejection of the first terms proposed by Bulgaria has not barred the door to further negotiations. Even the Ottoman embassy agrees that if the "exorbitant" demand for the excuation of the famous Tchatalja line of fortifications is dropped the principal obstacle to the discussion of terms will be removed. Dr. S. Daneff, president of the Bulgarian parliament; General Savoff, the chief of staff of the Bulgarian army, have been appointed Bulgarian plenipotentiaries. They will proceed immediately to the Tchatalja lines to meet the Turkish plenipotentiaries there. Now that the delegates have been appointed it is expected at Sofia that formal negotiations between the Bulgarians and the Turks will begin in twenty-four hours. The rejection of the preliminary conditions by the Turks caused little surprise at Sofia. The Bulgarians expected to encounter the Turkish propensity for bargaining, and therefore demanded more than they expected to obtain. The Balkan allies are prepared to grant reasonable modifications of their terms, and are confident that Turkey will finally agree to them. As they do not fear that delay will cause them any serious disadvantage, the Bulgarians are all the more ready to make concessions because they are anxious to settle affairs with Turkey without the intervention of the powers. It is asserted that the Bulgarian cabinet has given the European powers the assurance that the Bulgarian troops will not enter Constantinople and that this will obviate interference from Europe. Fighting continues along the entire line of fortifications at Tchatalja, according to dispatches from Constantinople. The Bulgarians are continuing their efforts to break through the Turkish lines, but have hitherto been prevented from doing so by the fire of the Turkish warships. In view of the fact that the Otoman capital, even if captured, must ultimately be evacuated in accordance with the decree of the powers, it appears that the allies have nothing to gain by insisting upon the surrender of the lines which form virtually the gates of the city. The terms stipulated by the allied Balkan nations provided for the surrender of Adrianople with its garrison, for the avacuation of the Tchatalja lines in front of Constantinople, and for the surrender of Scutarl, Durazzo and Dibra. No mention is made of Constantinople or the Dardanelles. The Turkish cruiser Hamidleh arrived at Constantinople in tow. The warship was down by the stern, where she apparently had been struck by a torpedo. She was immediately docked. A conference of importance began at Berlin, when Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, arrived from Vienna to discuss affairs of the near east. Emperor William and Foreign Minister Von Klderlen-Watcher met the archduke at the railway station, accompanied by a brilliant staff of state and army officers. Thirty thousand Greek troops were ordered to reinforce the Bulgarian army attacking the Tchatalja defenses. It will be some time before the Greeks arrive on the firing line, as they will have to cross nearly 350 miles of territory from their present base south of Monastir. Leaps From Train to Death. "Goodby, boys; I am going to leave you!" was the shout of Charles Snyder, twelve years of age, to a crowd of mere-boys, who were standing with him on a freight train stealing a ride on the Reading railway near Shamokin, Pa. He jumped from the train at a curve, landed in front of a passenger train and was killed. Train Kills Farmer Dozling in Wagoum Samuel W. McGill, forty-five years old, a farmer of Earlville, Md., was killed by a freight train at Middletown. It is believed that McGill had fallen asleep and permitted the horse to wander upon the tracks. The horse was killed and the carriage reduced to splinters. South Dakota Makes Gold Record. The annual report of the state mine inspector of South Dakota shows the gold production last year to be $8,035, 598, the largest ever recorded. his alide-de-camp, specially to represent him. The American consul, W. Maxwell Greene, and great crowds greeted the president-elect as he landed. The city is gayly decorated in honor of the visit of the next president of the United States. The weather is splendid. During the voyage the weather was also good and Mr. Wilson and his family enjoyed the trip exceedingly. All Bermuda is greatly excited over the sojourn of the president-elect and many proposals have been made to honor him, including sports, entertainments and even a holiday. Bermuda seems much in favor of Mr. Wilson's prospective reduction of the tariff. When Mr Wilson set foot on the pler Mayor Wainwright promptly delivered the address of welcome, and the president-elect in reply said that he hoped nothing would disturb the cordiality between Bermuda and the United States during his administration. Dlea During Initiation. The authorities are investigating the death of Zadock Troxell Offner, aged twenty-one years, unmarried, which occurred during the initiation of the young man into the Lolay Order of Moose at Westernport, five miles west of Keyser, W. Va. While members of the organization are reticent, it is stated that the death of the young man occurred suddenly during some "horse play" in the initiation, when an electric battery was used. It is stated that the candidate was in the process of being "branded" on the chest, when he expired from excitement, he having suffered from a weak heart. Stolen Silver Found. A large amount of solid silver tableware, that had been stolen from the summer residence of George W. Vanderblit at Bar Harbor, Me., eighteen years ago, was found hidden in the rocks at the base of a cliff by Simon Vlolete, a teamster. Vlolete went to the cliff for a load of rock and in handling the stone he came upon the silverware. It is worth $1000 or more and is part of plunder valued at many thousands of dollars stolen from the Vanderblit residence. A large sum of money and much valuable jewelry was never recovered. Family Slain With Axe. The bodies of William Esley, his wife and four-year-old child were found in their home in Philadelphia, Miss. All had been murdered with an axe. The police believe that they were victims of the "sacrifice sect," to which they were reported to have belonged. Clementine Barnabet, "high priestess" of the cult, who admitted taking eighteen human lives, is in prison at Lafayette, La., but she believed to have knowledge of killings in Philadelphia. Sidna Allen Escapes Death. Sidna Allen, leader of the Allen clan which shot up the Carroll county court at Hillsville last March, resulting in the death of five people, was found guilty of murder in the second degree at Wytheville, Va., for killing Judge Massle. The jury fixed the penalty at fifteen years in the penitentiary. Kills Wife, Baby and Himself. John Wood, a grocer, of Worcester, Mass., killed his wife and their baby boy at his home, 11 Lake street, and then committed suicide. He smothered his wife and child to death with chloroform saturated cloths and then ended his own life with the same drug. Man Killed by Caskets.

Carnegie to Pension Ex-Presidents. An annual pension of $25,000 for each future ex-president of the United States is the latest form which the beneficence of Andrew Carnegie is to take. This announcement of Mr. Carnegie's intention was made by the eight trustees of the Carnegie Corporation of New York at the close of their second annual meeting in his residence on Fifth avenue. "Provision has been made through this corporation for a pension for each future ex-president and his widow, unmarried, of $25,000 per year, as long as these remain unprovided for by the nation, that they may be able to spend the latter part of their lives devoting their unique knowledge gained of public affairs to the public good, free from pecuniary cares. "These pensions will be promptly offered to the ex-presidents or their widows, so that no application will be required from them." Weds Chauffeur Instead of Rich Man. Mrs. Aimee Givins, formerly of Detroit, and divorced wife of Robert S. Givins, a member of Chicago's fashionable set, discovered that she was the central figure in a strange matrimonial tangle. After eloping to Crown Point, Ind., Wednesday and marrying at 2 a. m. a man whom she believed to be a son of Marshall M. Kirkman, former vice president of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, she was told that the man was William Boehm, Mr. Kirkman's chauffeur until recently. Detectives are searching for Boehm, who is said to have gone to Danville, Ill. Will Vote For Woman. E. Honier, one of Utah's four presidential electors, announced in Salt Lake City that he would cast his vote in the electoral college for Mrs. Margaret Zane Witcher, of Salt Lake City, for vice president on the Republican ticket. Homer also will endeavor to persuade the other three electors of Utah to do the same, though Mrs. Witcher is one of the number. The support of the Vermont electors also, will be sought. Mrs. Witcher is serving her second term as county clerk of Salt Lake county. She is a daughter of C. S. Zane, former chief justice of the supreme court of Utah. Fiend Mutilates Girl. The horribly mutilated body of the seventeen-year-old daughter of George Barham, a farmer living near Pleasant Ridge, Boone county, Ark., was found. The girl rode horseback to the po- toffice at Pleasant Ridge, but failed to return. Searchers found her dismem bered body. She had been dragged from her horse and attacked. Her head was cut off, both legs were severed from the body and the trunk was cut in two. Armed posses are searching for the murderer. A lynching is expected if he is caught. United States Marshal Henkel has served Claus A. Spreckels in New York with the papers in the government's suit to recover the sum of $119,080.98 as back duties alleged to be due on importations of raw sugar said to have been fraudulently under weighed. Respite For the Allena. Governor Mann, of Virginia, has granted a respite until Dec. 13 to Floyd Allen and his son, Claude Swanson Allen, both condemned to die on Friday for their complicity in the murders at Judge Massle's court room in Hillsville, Va. The stay was unexpected. Schrank, Who Shot T. R., is Insane. John Schrank, the New York man, who shot Colonel Roosevelt in Mill waukee, Wis., on the night of Oct. 14, was found to be insane by the commission of five allenists appointed to inquire into his mental state, according to a report circulated in Mill waukee. Myers a few seconds after the sound of the shot aroused the other passengers in the car and brought the porter and conductor. Later he explained that he had been standing on the front platform of the car next in the rear, and had run in when he heard the shot. After the details of the shooting became known Miss Myers was released from custody. The police decided that the shooting was an accident and the district attorney decided to drop the case. There will be no coroner's inquest. Cuthbert, who was held as a material witness, was also discharged. Miss Myers, in company with her father, brother and J. Blair Dillard, her fiancee, left Trenton immediately in an automobile for Philadelphia. President of Penna. R. R. Resigna. Unheralded by the usual crop of rumors, the resignation of James McCrea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, was presented to the board of directors in Philadelphia. It was accepted, effective Jan. 1. Immediately afterwards the board recived the resignation of Samuel Rea, vice president, as a "company director," re-elected him to the directorate as a "shareholders" director," to succeed Clement A. Griscom, who died on Sunday, and then elected him president of the company to succeed Mr. McCrea at the first of the year. In his letter of resignation, read to the board and accepted by it with "great reluctance," Mr. McCrea sald he desired a rest. He pointed out that he is sixty-five years old, that he had been in the company's service nearly fifty years, and that it is his wish to rest from active labors and conserve his health. Mr. Rea, the president-elect, is fifty-seven years old. He had been with the company since 1871, rising from chairman to president. He was the right-hand man of A. J. Cassatt, whom Mr. McCrea succeeded six years ago, and won fame through his planning and building of the Pennsylvania's New York tunnels and the great new station. Found Finger In Cigar. While he was making his round as an assessor in Shamokin, Pa., Frank Dormer purchased a cigar at a store, and after lighting the cigar he had great difficulty in keeping the end lighted. He puffed until he got a headache. He pressed the cigar with his fingers in an effort to loosen the wrapper in the hope that he would be able to make the perfecto smoke. He felt something hard in the filler. Cutting the cigar open, he was horrified to find an inch of a man's finger. It is believed that a cigarmaker while cutting tobacco lost a portion of his finger and the severed piece got into the cigar. Canitol Chandelier Falls A 3000-pound chandelier in the hall of the house of representatives at Harrisburg, Pa., fell twenty fee, but did little damage, as the floor of the big room is made of heavy concrete. The chandelier was being taken down because it obstructed the view of the Abey paintings. It is to be stored away in the cellar, notwithstanding the fact that it cost the state about $15,000. This was one of the lighting fixtures manufactured by the late John Sanderson and sold to the state at $4.80 a pound. Boy of Ten Admits Killing. Earl Murrel, ten years of age, has confessed that he shot and killed Daniel Miller, an eighty-year-old hermit, in Anderson county, near Lawrenceburg, Ky. William Murrell, the boy's father, and two of his brothers were arrested, charged with the crime, when the boy admitted to Sheriff Johnson that Miller attacked his father and then that he had shot him. Kills Baby For Revenge. To take revenge on his wife, with whom he had quarreled, Charles Rose, of Chicago, killed his two-year-old daughter. The child was smothered to death. A note pinned to the pillow on which the child lay was signed by the father, who admitted his deed. The police were unable to find Rose. Insanity Is Bachelor's Lot Insanity seizes upon the bachelor with greater ease than upon the benedict, despite the worry the latter is supposed to undergo, according to the report of the government hospital for the insane. Amid the blowing of steam whistles and the ringing of bells the fifth national apple show was opened in Spokane, Wash. It is estimated that upwards of 2,500,000 apples are in place at the exhibition.

Lack of muscular exercise is the first result of lying in bed. As a result the appetite is weakened, the digestive action slows down and the muscles of the stomach and abdomen cease to act upon the intestinal mass. When the body is in a recumbent position the heart works with the least expenditure of effort and the least fatigue and the circulation and the functional activity are decreased. But unless the subject is exceptionally vigorous all the benefits are counterbalanced by dangers. In bed the subject is shut away from fresh air and sunlight. The result of that deprivation is a condition similar to anemia. But the supreme menace to the weak or the aged confined to bed is the clogging of the pulmonary circulation, an action which frequently results in passive congestion of both sides of the lungs. For this reason the simple fracture of a bone may be the cause of death, because when the patient lies in bed there is no movement of the muscles to act as an incentive to deep breathing.—Harper's. The Aristocratic Montenegrin. The Bulgarian may not have a liking for domestic service, but he is a born agricultural laborer. According to a recent traveler, if you give him a barren piece of land he will make it blossom like the rose, while his Montenegrin brother will stand and look on. On the other hand, the Montenegrin placed in a drawing room always behaves like a gentleman, while the Bulgarian in the same environment cannot help being a boor. "But then," says the London Chronicle, "it is said the Montenegrins are the descendants of Bervian aristocrats who fled to the mountains to seek freedom. The explanation is thin, but pleasing. Of one claim to culture, however, Montenegrio cannot be deprived—she established a printing press at Obold only twenty years after Caxton began his labor and she printed beautifully. But the Turks made 'pl' of everything, and the press was not re-established till 1832." The Drunkard's Cloak. One of the ovalt instruments of torture in England in olden time was a device known as the drunkard's cloak. It was made of wood and in shape resembled a huge inverted flowerpot. Through the small circular aperture in the top was thrust the neck of the imprisoned inebriate. The weight of this ancient counterpart of the straitjacket fell on the victim's shoulders and was sufficient to make every bone in his body ache. With his hands practically planed to his sides and the garment reaching almost to the ground the only motion allowed him was a slow shuffle of his weary feet as he dragged his way painfully along. One can well be illeve that any one who had been compelled to don the drunkard's cloak would be very apt to come to the conclusion that a high old time was not worth having at the price. Rivarol's Wit. Antoline Rivarol, the French epigrammatist of the eighteenth century, was so brilliant that something good was expected of him every minute. Once when he had been invited to dinner, at which the hostess especially wished him to shine, he sat quite silent. The attitude of disappointed expectancy in the company nettled him, and at last Rivarol made a stupid remark. Everybody uttered an exclamation. "There," said Rivarol, "I cannot say a stupid thing without one's crying. "Thief!"" At a dinner in the house of some Germans he made a joke. His hosts put their heads together inquiringly Rivarol said to his neighbor, a French man: "Look at the Germans pooling their wits to understand a joke." Nests on the Water- It is almost unthinkable that a bird should build a nest on the water. Yet that is exactly what the grebes always do. With reeds, grass and plant stems the grebe makes a regular floating is land, somewhat hollowed out on top, usually near the open water of a marsby or reedy lake. We have several kinds of grebes, but their nests are much alike, sometimes moored to the reeds, but usually floating freely on the water—St. Nicholas. Hyphenated Envised .

When Lord Rayleigh, the British scientist, was a student at Cambridge the examiners set among other problems one which they based on an article in a German mathematical periodical supposed unlikely to have penetrated to Cambridge. Only two men solved it. Mr. Stutt (Lord Rayleigh) and another The examiners asked the other man about this problem. "Oh," he said, "I take the — (mentioning the name of the periodical), and I was very glad to find that, thanks to an article in the last number, that problem came out quite easily." When Mr. Strutt's turn came they expected a similar answer, but he astonished them by replying: "The fact is, gentlemen, that I sometimes contribute to —, and I could not help feeling greatly flattered that you should have thought my little problem worthy of a place in this examination." He was awarded the prize. A Slump In Kisses A Frenchman who apparently has a good deal of time on his hands has been amusing himself by reckoning up the number of kisses he has given his wife during the first twenty years of his married life. He finds that in the first year he dispensed about a hundred kisses a day, or, say, allowing for birthdays and holidays, about 36,700 in the year. In the second year this number was reduced by half and in the third year to ten a day, while in the fifth year his better half had to be content with two a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. What happened after the fifth year is "wrapped in mystery," but at the same rate of "progression" he probably arrived eventually at one kiss on the 1st of January every leap year. "Goupsaler Therefore." Sergeant Kelly, a celebrity of the Irish bar, had a remarkable habit of drawing conclusions directly at variance with his premises and was consequently nicknamed "Counselor Therefore." In court on one occasion he thus addressed the jury: "The case is so clear, gentlemen, that you cannot possibly ununderstand it, and I should pay your understandings a very poor compliment if I dwelt upon it for an other minute. Therefore I shall at once proceed to explain it to you as minutely as possible." Great Combination. Sultor-I cannot boast of wealth, but I have brains.

The apprehension of the more law-abiding citizens is, and it is the inevitable, the passage of a "Jim Crow" car bill for the District of Columbia by a Democratic Conss. The more law-abiding citizen should not be held re-ible for the unlawful and dis- acts of some colored peo- ve better element of colored re not responsible for the a few of their race in and upon public con- he great trouble with ratic legislators is, colored people alike the inferior class or decency when car.

The s upon many While work i boring man sl is not necesa just out of a to make their into seats wl their clean clo While it is of the United authority to c citizenship, it authority to r privileges of c selves clean t laws of nature. This editorial is suggested by what the editor sees in his daily and nightly rounds. Last Saturday evening two Ebony individuals boarded a West bound New York Avenue car at the corner of Ninth and New York Avenue; their ages were 17 and 18 years respectively. The young woman was so intoxi- cated that she stumbled as she attempted to board the car. She staggered in the car and the young man one year her senior was equally under the influence of liquor, but was a little more able to navigate than his female companion. Both of them seated themselves near the center of the car, and there they sat in a stupefied condition with the eyes of the other passengers looking upon them in disgust. Are not such exhibitions inevitable for the enactment of "Jim Crow" legislation? Thus it will be seen that the entire colored race is held responsible, from a prejudicial white person's point of view, for the disgraceful acts of a few. If "Jim Crow" legislation is enacted in this city, whose fault will it be? Here is work for our pulpit, our schools and the more law-abiding citizens. The Bee for thirty-three years has done all in its power to defend and uphold the rights of its people. The Bee doesn't claim to be perfect, but it has made every effort to advance its people and improve their condition. It cannot accomplish this work alone. The pulpit, the schools, and our valued Y. M. C. A. can do much good in this direction. Then, and not until then, will the inevitable be defeated — "Jim Crowism." THE BLACK CABINET. When Dr. Booker T. Washington, out of sympathy as well as admiration, expressed four live o'possums and a barrel of sweet potatoes to the president of the Black Cabinet, with the suggestion to have a consolation dinner, which was pulled off at the famous Gray's Thursday evening, November 21, little did he think that he was creating an event that will be handed down to posterity. It was, indeed, an event that will be long remembered. The master hands that directed the event were two loyal and patrific adherents of the wizard of Tuskegee: Messrs. Tyler and Lewis, who have never failed, under all conditions and circumstances, to do their duty as they have seen it. Not in the history of Republican administration and the Republican party not a more loyal and united combination of representative men existed. While the memories of Bruce, Hill, Lynch, Douglass and Langston are still fresh in the archives of political fame, the memory of Tyler, Lewis, Cobb, McKinlay, Napier, Johnson, Terrell and Anderson will be respected and honored for their loyalty and devotion to their race. Will such a galaxy of men be seen holding similar positions under the incoming administration? Will Mr. Wilson have the confidence in an alleged Negro Democracy that Mr. Taft and Col. Josephelt had in their Black Cabinet? Negro Democracy, to some extent, is a new child. It must be reasoned well in the affairs of government and Democratic politics before it will be taken into the councils of the Democratic party, an Negro conscientiously be a democrat when the leaders of that party have repudiated those Negro adherents for revenue only? Mr. Wilson hay have a desire to live a Black Cabinet, but the southern Democracy, which is hungry for office, will not see the feasibility of surrendering the large sums to Negro Democrats that are held by Negro Republicans. He wild wind declaration that 30 percent of the Negroes voted the democratic ticket is not backed up facts and figures. In this city, the Bull Moose Negroes supported the Bull Moose party, and about three or four renegade Republicans no neither supported nor voted the Republican ticket, but simply good upon the corner in the vicinity of the police court and made a joint declaration that they were for Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party. When The Bee publishes their declaration for Mr. Taft and the Republican party, and what they said after they were certain that the Republican party would use and Mr. Wilson win, the comparison will be odious and their first declaration will be as amusing the Democratic leaders as their inducacy for the large jobs now held by Negroes, but will undoubtedly be filled with white Democrats the Democratic party must show the Bee before it can believe that white Democracy, in this city, can hoodwinked by Republican renegades. The Bee shall patiently wait to see the complexion of the Black Cabinet of Negro Democracy. BISHOP WATERS. The Bee entertains now, and always has, the kindiest sentiment for Bishop Alexander Waters as a prelate and as a gentleman. We be" ver, that should the good bishop, circumscripted as he necessarily is by ministerial office and denominational restrictions, assay to be a political leader and dictator he would necessarily restrict his usefulness and potency as a church leader. We are not assuming that the good bishop aspires to be a political leader. We even believe that his rumored leadership and dictation is more the desire of sycophants and scheming politicians who would use him to achieve their selfish desire. The report gaining currency that all colored men who will be appointed to office by President-elect Wilson must bear the O.K. stamp of Bishop Waters does the bishop an injury, and belittles the next president. No leader in any one denomination can become a national political leader and at the same time maintain his leadership, and render proper service in his own church. Bishop Waters is a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Colored Methodists are divided into three branches—African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, and Methodist Episcopal, their numerical strength following in the order we have enumerated the branches. If the new President should look to Bishop Waters alone for political advice and endorsement of colored applicants for office he would run counter to the adverse criticism of the other two branches. Not only that, but he would run counter to the adverse criticism of colored Baptists whose numerical strength is equal to the combined strength of colored Methodists; to Colored Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and other denominations. We recall that during the first McKinley administration Bishop Arnett, of the A.M. E. branch, assayed the role now currently, and illogically, given to Bishop Waters. We also recall the storm of protests that went up from all other denominations, and from non-conformists who are even greater, in numerical strength, than conformists. So great and wide was the protest that President McKinley was forced to drop Bishop Arnett as a political advisor. No man whose duty is to serve one religious class exclusively, and who is paid for that service, can hope to become a national political leader whose advice and counsel will be accepted to the exclusion of all other men. And any priest or bishop who has taken an oath to serve his church as an expounder, conservator and living example of that church's doctrine can, in justice to himself or church, become embroiled in factional or party politics without injury to himself and his church. The Bee does not believe for, an instant that Bishop Waters is to dictate colored appointments for President Wilson. We do not believe he would if he could. And we do not believe that President-elect Wilson is the type of a man to permit such dictation. WILL THEY SUBMIT? Oppression and unjust discrimination, throughout the world's whole history, has ever, sooner or later, provoked resentment, resentment that has swept innocent and guilty, persecutors and victims of persecution into an awful, horrible vortex of blood and death. There has never been a time, in the world's history when the weak, driven to the last ditch; forced to the precipice at the bottom of which yawns death and destruction, but what the weak, in sheer desperation, have decided that it is better to die right where they stand, with their faces to the oppressors, than to be ignominiously, and without show, of resistance, driven into the ditch, with their backs to their oppressors, or hurried over the precipice to death below. Until now the American Negro has suffered discrimination and persecution, aimed at him only because of his color, with Christian fortitude, trusting to the God his white friends taught him would right all wrongs—that song-preserved just God who notes the sparrow's fall. In all the strikes that have paralyzed business and in which arsen, rapine and murder marshalled under the red flag, the American Negro has stood aloof. Aye, better, has stood with the same, law-abiding people. In all the wars fought for the independence, preservation or treaty rights.of this country the American Negro has mingled his blood with the blood of his white brothers, defending this country. It is now agitated that Congress pass a law making "Jim Crow" cars in the District, here at the Capital of the Nation, compulsory for Negroes. Under this law the alien Italian whose name may be enrolled as a member of the Black Hand, the alien anarchists, the Mongolians, who are not, and can not become citizens, might ride without discrimination. But the American Negro who has remained true to this country and this country's flag; who turned the left cheek every time the right cheek has been smote; whose advancement in fifty years since freed from slavery has been the marvel of the world, must be "Jim Crowed" on street cars, and only, because of his color. The legislative committee of the Central Citizens' Association—all alleged Christian men—held a meeting last Sunday and drafted a bill to "Jim Crow" the American Negro on the street cars in Washington. And these Christian? men chose Sunday—the Lord's day—to do the work of God's antithesis—the devil. But let them stop and ask themselves, before they go too far: "Will the Negro submit?" WHY NOT? We have witnessed the dedication of a monument to the Confederate dead in leaful Arlington, consecrated to the dead who fell fighting for the preservation of the Union. We have seen, in the rotunda of the Capitol, the lifesized marble statue of General Lee, as heroic in its proportions and as white as the statue of General Grant, near which it stands. There is no distinction, apparent, between the rebel who fought to destroy, and the patriot who fought to preserve. We have witnessed the entwining of the flag of the "lost cause," and wrong cause, with the flag of the victorious and right cause. Washington, the city of magnificent distance, is dotted o'er with monuments to sons of other lands who sailed the ocean to battle in defense of these United States. It is right that the memory of those who left their homes in foreign lands to offer up their lives in defense of this country should have their memory preserved in granite and in bronze. It may be right, though we as colored men may not justify it, to stand the marble statue of General Lee, who fought to destroy, under the same roof that shelters the statue of General Grant, who fought to preserve, as a sign that the saber and the cannon has been melted into ploughshares, and that peace has nestled over a reunited country. It may be right, even though we who cannot share in the just rights and privileges supposed to follow peace, that the folds of the glorious stars and stripes shall kiss and entwine the banner that led the Confederate legions who attempted to overthrow a government they once assisted in founding. But in all this display of peace, this show of the magnanimous spirit; this forgetting of the past and only looking to the future roseate with peace and plenty, where does the Negro come in? In the Capital he fought to save he is not even allowed to dine. In the city he sacrificed his life to preserve no granite or bronze commemorates his bravery or his loyalty. Has not the time arrived when we too should build monuments to our dead, the dead of ours who fought to save the Union? Why not a monument here, in one of the parks, to Frederick Douglas? Why not? The Hand of Esau But, the Voice of Jacob. (From the Indianapolis Freeman.) Washington, D. C., with a Negro population of 100,000, offers a rich field for a progressive Negro newspaper. A live corporation, giving the people the real news in an impartial and attractive manner, could build up a circulation of 10,000 in six months. The people of the Capital are a reading people; they have money, and the business men can be persuaded to advertise, if you can show them that it is worth while. Problem: Where is the man to lead the movement toward filling this long left want? The foregoing excerpt is written by the same individual who depends on other people to publish his news. He was at one time the disguised editor of the National Union, which died a journalistic colic. One would presume as long as this correspondent has been living upon the hard work of others he had learned some sense by now, but it seems not. For ten years he was an associate editor of the Colored American. Everybody in the country supported. It came to fill a long felt want. It died because the people didn't believe as the American. It came to put The Bee out of existence, but it died and The Bee still lives. He next associated himself with the Washington American, which lived for a time on the borrowed fame of the Colored American. It died and The Bee still lives. The Washington American also came to fill a long felt want, and rather than to lose their jobs, the editors denied their existence, and it died. The people didn't think that it was wanted. This individual next associated himself with the National Union as the silent editor. He had full editorial charge. The Colored American incorporated itself and many hundred dollars were subscribed by fools who would be satisfied with five per cent on a dollar. No dividend was ever declared. The people of this city do not intend to be fooled out of any more money. They have at last gotten their eyes open, but it took several years to open them, and the loss of several thousand dollars. This glittering correspondent who now tells you that, a live corporation would make a live and a progressive paper succeed is only paving a path to have an easy berth in the event that he can't convince the Democratic administration that he should not be disturbed. The Bee fills every long felt want of the people; what more? It has done more, it does more for the people than all the sharks and fakers that have ever come to Washington. What more? For the benefit of the Freeman, "hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob" correspondent, the move has not and will not materialize. POLITICAL TREACHERY. The recent dispatch from the Republican headquarters in Chicago, stated no more than what The Bee published some time ago. The treachery against the administration did not only exist in the higher circles of the administration, but by the understroppers who had been specially favored by the administration. Many laborers and messengers in the executive departments who had a vote, secretly voted the Bull Moose ticket, believing that Roosevelt would be elected. Many of them will realize the force of their stupidity when the Democratic party comes into power. Many colored clerks who wanted the administration defeated have begun to pack their grip sacks preparatory to leaving when the Democratic administration comes in power. Colored men with large families are shaking in their clothes. They wanted a change of administration and they got it; now let them walk up to the doctor's office and take their medicine. One cannot realize the pinch of a tight shoe until it is worn a while; then they will cry out for, the good old-fashioned days. Let the traitors be removed. WHY A DINNER? The Bee has been informed that the New York Negroes will tender a dinner to Bishop Alexander Waters. And for what? Should a Negro begiven a dinner because he supported the Democeratic party and that party is about to offer a bill in Congress to "Jim Crow" the colored citizens in the District of Columbia? Is this the reason that Bishop Waters is to be given a dinner? If so, every Negro who subscribed should be drowned in the Hudson River, and upon his tombstone this inscription should be written: "THE GRAVE OF FOOLS." LIBERAL REWARD. National Committeeman Costello will give a liberal reward for the public declaration of one dozen Republican office holders. He has become amazed at the invasion of his office of so many Negro Democrats. They are more numerous now than they were at the time Speaker Clark was elected. SENATOR RAYNER. Last Monday morning Isidor Rayner, the brilliant United States Senator from Maryland, after several days of racking pain, was ushered into the presence of his Maker. In life he was an implacable foe of the American Negro. Our one wish is that the God he has gone to meet will be more just with him than he was with us. Endowed as he was, with a brilliant mind, and blessed with plenty of this world's goods, he might have been a power for our advancement, but he chose to be a power for our retardence. Six. feet of earth make us all of one size. The agitation of "Jim Crow" street cars for Washington ought to make every Negro his brother's keeper. And it ought to make one of many, pushing dissentions back into oblivion. If there were not so many incompetent advisors hanging around the corners, whose advice has never been solicited by the school board, the colored schools and their management would not be featured, to our discredit, in the daily press. If Negro preachers would pay less attention to politics, and more to the religious and industrial welfare of their congregations they would help the race, and keep their own robes spotless. PublicMen And Things A letter 'came to The Bee's rendezvous the other day, signed by a half dozen of the most prominent fifth ribs in Washington's soft custard society, requesting that the "Sage" give the young men teachers in the public schools a little homely advice. I never could resist the entreaties of the fair sex. I inherited this characteristic from old Adam, who just couldn't resist taking a bite of the nice, juicy, big red apple, when Eve asked him to just take one little nibble when nobody was looking. Now most of these young fellows who are teaching school haven't got the wire edge wore off yet. They are chuck full of youth, got a whole cart load of energy, and a hankering for the things every young fellow likes. Still they must remember that they have an old man's job, and they have got to act a bit old out in company. Going through the streets smoking coffin nails, dressed like a dude of the second empire, and making goo-goo eyes at bits of feminine pieces may be all right for young Astor with his sixty millions, but for a chocolate drop who is teaching raven-hue boys and girls it doesn't go for Sweeney. I used to be a boy myself and know how hard it is to get into the statute of limitation class, but you just got to do it. Some of these mornings, when the mercury in the thermometer is illusively playing around the zero mark, Superintendent Davidson may "request" Little Lord Fawterley to sign a recommendation—one that the courts have pronounced is according to Hoyle—and if he does, some of the boys may have to take up the profession of cutting ice. When a kid in the schools sees his teacher moving down the street with a Duke of Norfolk walk, smoking cigarettes, and wearing clothes like they make you in Piceadilly Lane, London, that kid ain't got no more sense than to want to go and do likewise. And when a high school boy catches you making goo-goo eyes at one of the bunch of sweet peaches in his class he just has a sneaking intimation that you want to steal something from him. And there ain't no use to toy with spirits ferment so anybody can hear it over the phone. Just make up your mind that what the "Sage" is handing you is for your own good. These are troublesome times in the schools and you can't never tell when you will get yours. Just act like a real school teacher, even if you ain't nothing but a bluff. Dress like a fellow who is saving forty cents every month out of his monthly stipend, even if you are blowing it all for Huylers for high school girls. Don't be promenading down the various avenues de Nig with high school girls, even if their parents don't object to you coming around in the evening a few times in a week and burning up about two dollars worth of gas for them. Now I think these young fellows who are teaching school are all a bunch of pretty good fellows, and have a whole lot of odd lot education stored under their derbies. But I am telling you that people have their eyes on you, and in a town like Washington, where everybody knows what everybody else thinks and does, and where the corner groceries are gossip exchange emporiums, it stands these young fellows who have broken into the schools through a Mattingly examination, to be right up on their tip-toes for "the gobblins' it git you if you don't watch out." And while I am handing out this gill of advice to the Adam-shaped bunch, I might offer a23 few suggestions to some of the women teachers, though I better do it with kid gloves or I will get my picture placed in the rogue's gallery. My advice to them is to be a little leary of these tight fitting dresses that show more of your form than you can see of Venice de Milo. And don't get too close to the fine junk that is displayed in the Boston's show windows. Remember that most of the girls whom you are teaching are daughters of parents who can't-buy them the latest creations of Worth and Paquin. A girl just naturally likes fine dress, and when she sees her teacher coming to school every day in a Worth gown in a skirt that hugs her shape like a number six glove hugs a number eight hand; clatches a glimpse of a pair of hose that are silk at $2 per pair and notices a bunch of millinery on her head worth eighteen to twenty-five dollars, that girl is liable to five dollars such clothes, and when she back to her little squailid home up in the alley, and finds her dad or her mam can't buy her the same kind, she might, (and this ain't imagination), make up her mind she could get them herself, somehow and somehow. I sure do like to see a well dressed woman. If I had Andy Carnegie's money I would provide a fund that would give every girl and the fund under forty-five years, all the fine duds she wanted. A woman is the prettiest thing in life, how is, and the best thing, and I believe they are entitled to everything but a cussing. But when they can't get it just use of setting an example for school girls that may cost them a character if they follow suit. Of course when you get a pink slip inviting you to a Monican hall or a Mu-so-Lit assembly it's all right to phone Garfinkle to send you out that $150 gown he has in his window to wear at the function. But when you are in school, teaching the poverty-strecken dear girls how to fill their hair-vim adorned heads with "rithmitick, ritin", and spellin' the ideal thing to do is to wear just neat, simple dresses that won't excite envy or make passion burn the bearers away. Now I have heard this topic discussed both at the "Booley" aquarium feasts, and at the Mu-so-Lit talkfests. And, coming along from Dr. Grimke's church last Easter Sunday, I heard a couple of married women, who were wearing last year's hats, and year before last's gowns, because their hubbies wouldn't (Continued to page 8.)

FALLS CHURCH NOTES. Thanksgiving services at Second Baptist Church at 11 o'clock Thursday morning, with Rev. Dr. Powell, officiating. Mr. Elijah Dixon is now very ill at his home, having been confined to his bed for a week with very little change for improvement. His many friends wish his recovery, though it may be slow. On Sunday afternoon for the 3 o'clock service the society from Hall's Hill known as "The Tents," a strictly female organization for taking care of the sick and burying the dead, had their anniversary sermon preached at Second Baptist Church by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Powell. The order presented a very acceptable appearance, and a short history of its organization and progress given out by the leader, Sister Nannie Gillman, impressed favorably a few of the leading ladies of Falls Church to give their names for the purpose of organizing a branch at this point. Among those who desired to form a new society here were Sisters Campbell, Carter, Denny and Ambrose. Mrs. Hattie Lee, of Washington, D. C., is the welcome visitor to friends at West End, Mrs. Nickens, Mrs. Bradley and others. She will remain through Thanksgiving. Prof. P.H. Hughes, of Clifton, Va., stopped by on Monday afternoon to visit Rev. Dr. Powell, on his way back to Fairfax Courthouse, where he is principal of the public school. Prof. Hughes was on the sad mission of attending the return of the body of a boy who had been in his employment, and had died in one of the city hospitals, resulting from an accidentally self-inflicted gunshot wound. Boys have no business with guns; men scarcely escape trouble in handling them. Funeral Tuesday, November 26. Rev. Barnett is now "keepingbach," Mrs. Barnett is visiting her mother at Moorefield, W. Va. Quite a gay party of pleasure seekers left the West End Friday night, Nov. 22, on an "electric" ride to Nauck Station, where a "great" time was had. They said the refreshments were just grand, but declined to tell the different kinds of refreshments served for fear that Rev. Powell might hear it. Mrs. Douglass Nickens, Mrs. Hattie Lee, Mrs. Rosa Walker, Mrs. Catherine Bradley and Mr. Bradley, Mrs. Nelson, Messrs. Foote, Stewart, Robert Walker, Harvey, Mason Lee and others, whose names we did not get formed this jolly crowd.

Two "brand new" houses are now going "up in the village, one the future home of Mrs. Columbia Duncan-Scott, and the other of a Mr. Hicks, two worthy citizens. Thus the substantial growth of the colored people in this community may be observed. Mr. Notie B. Jones, accompanying his father, went to Baltimore on Saturday night the 23d inst., to visit a brother who met with a serious accident there, and is now in St. Joseph's Hospital. The mysterious ringing of the Galloway Chapel M. E. Church bell on Monday at twenty minutes to 12 o'clock. noon, Monday, 25th inst., created a deal of excitement among the members and friends of the church. Mrs. Rose Redman spent Sunday circulating among her many friends. She was the guest of her brother, Mr. Isaac Fitzhugh, who is an en- ergetic and worthy citizen of the village. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Wade were the Thanksgiving Day guests of Mr. and Mrs. Douglass Nickens at West End. 60TH ANNIVERSARY. Magnus L. Robinson, of Alexandria, Va., and Washington, D. C., Observed His 69th Birthday. Magnus L. Robinson celebrated his birthday anniversary in the city of his birth, Alexandria, Va., at the residence of his brother, Rev. R. B. Robinson, So1 Madison Street, November 21, 1912. Magnus L. Robinson is one of the veteran Negro newspaper men, having unfurled the banner of the second Negro newspaper to be published in Virginia in 1879, he being the contemporary of the late R.

HILL CITY, Kans.-The colored people should be very grateful to know that some of the good things that are passing around to the Democrats are also passing into the hands of colored people. We can rejoice over the election of a prominent colored lawyer, W. L. Sayers, to the office of county attorney, of this, Graham County, one of the most prominent lawyers of that county, as well as of the whole western portion of this State. He was elected on the Democratic ticket with a majority of 324. Mr. Crank, the white Republican candidate, received a total of 564 votes, Mr. Clack, the Socialist candidate, 119, and Mr. Sayers, the colored Democratic candidate, 888, carrying 11 of the 13 townships of the county. It is true that this county has a large colored population, but the white population is far in the majority. --- --- The best home sites in GLENDALE are being rapidly taken up. Come out Sunday.

A recent English traveler in Bala- chistan had from a holy man in that country a story about Moses which does not appear in the Scriptures, yet which bas its pertinence to this mat- ter of politicians proposing to do away with all the evils of the human lot, says the Century Magazine. The patri- arch was sitting in bis house very ead, and the Lord sald to bim, “Prophet Moses, why art thou cast down?" “Alas,” said he, “I see so many people sorrowful, Some are unclothed, and some are bungry. 1 pray thee make all happy and contented.” The Lord prom- ised it should be so. But soon Moses qwas again disconsolate, and once more the Lord asked the cause. “Lord.” eried the prophet, “the upper story of my house has fallen down, and nobody will come to mend It; they are all tov busy enjoying themselves.” “But what am I to do?” “Lord, make the people aw they were before!” Filled Them All Full, | Old Lord Forglen, the Scotch Jadze, died in 1727. Dr. Clerk, who attended | his lordship to the last, calling on his patient the day he died, was admitted by the judge’s old servant and clerk, David Reed. “How does my lord do?" inquired the doctor, “I boup he's weel!” responded the old man, whose -yolce and manner at once explained his meaning. With tears streaming | down his face he conducted Dr. Clerk | into a room where there were two doz- en bottles of wine underneath the ta. ble. Other gentlemen presently arriv- ed, and, baving partaken of a glass or two of wine while they listened to David's account of bis master’s last hours, they all rose to depart. “No, no, gentlemen; not 80,” sald the old factotum. “It was the express wish of the deceased that I should Sil ye a’ fou, and I maun fulfill the will o° the dead.” Dr. Clerk used to add when relating the story, “And indeed he did fulfill the will of the dead, for before the end o’t there was na ane of us able to bite his ain thoomb!” The Salty Atlantic.

We would nowadays scarcely seat twenty or thirty active boys to gather in church if we wished them to be models of attention and dignified behavior, but after the boys' seats were removed from the pulpit stairs they were all turned in together in a "boys' pew" in the gallery.

Conn., as late as 1S45, and pretty noisy it usually was An Incautious Critic Almost the last work that Sir Edwin Landseer was engaged on was a life-sized picture of Nell Gwyn passing through an archway on a white patrey. This picture, in which the horse alone was finished, was bought by one of the Rothchild family and given to Sir John Millais to complete. One morning a celebrated art critic called and was much impressed with his work "Ah, to be sure!" he said, going up close and examining a deerhound, which almost breathed, in the foreground of the picture "How easily one can recognize Landseer's dogs: Wonderful, isn't it?" "Yes, it is wonderful," remarked Sir John, lighting another pipe, "I finished painting that dog yesterday and have done the whole of it myself." That critic was sorry he spoke Daniel Was a Worker. Truly there were giants in colonial days. One Daniel Leake of Salisbury, N. H., made during his lifetime and was paid for 1,000,000 shingles. During the years he was accomplishing this colossal work he cleared 300 acres of land, tapped for twenty years at least 600 maple trees, making sometimes 4,000 pounds of sugar a year. He could mow six acres a day, giving nine tons of hay. His strong, long arms cut a swath twelve feet wide. In his spare time he worked as a cooper, and he was a famous drum maker. A Secret Defined A secret is a thing which you communicate to one whom you can trust.

FULTON P Special Liquor Sale Every Saturday. Not to Blame. His Company. At the time when Louis Napoleon was president of the French republic the commander at Lyons was General Castellane, an old soldier whose stern rule kept in check the riotous spirits of that disorderly city. One of the most bolsterous of the latter was a barber, who openly boasted that he only waited for the opportunity of ridding the city of its stern commander. The general heard of the threat and one afternoon ordered his coachman to drive to the barber's shop. Leaving his carriage, the general entered the shop unattended, took a seat in a vacant chair and desired the barber to shave him. The astonished braggart performed the operation as well as his nervousness would permit. When he had finished the general, while paying him, quietly said: "Monsieur, since you have not availed yourself of the opportunity to cut my throat which I have given you, would it not be wise for you to refrain from uttering threats that you have not the courage to carry out?"

Won a Grim Smile. A certain European regiment stationed in northern India has a colonel who has only once been seen to laugh. A private of this corps, while a prisoner in the guard room for a military offense, bet the sergeant of the guard 5 rupees that he would make the commanding officer laugh when he was taken before him. In due course, after reading the charge, the coloned asked the prisoner "Have you anything to say?" "I won't say anything more about it sir, if you won't," was the unexpected reply. The grim face relaxed, but the stern decision came all the same: "Fourteen days confined to barracks."—London Answers. Lamb's Stammer. If you must stammer try to stammer to yourself.

FARMER. KILLS A BANDIT IN HOME After being held up in his barn and then being marched to his house with his hands behind him, Lee Inskeep, a prosperous farmer living near Romney, W. Va., shot and killed one of his assailants. The dead robber proved to be Frank Hardy, a negro living in the vicinity. Mr. Inskeep wounded the other robber, who is said to be Anjle Hardy, a brother of the dead bandit, and who managed to escape. Inskeep narrowly escaped death, a bullet plowing its way through one cheek, and his housekeeper, Mary Heath, was beaten on the head with the butt end of a revolver and seriously injured. Officers and posses of citizens of Hampshire county, assisted by Police Lieutenant John Trileber, of Cumberland, Md., and bloodbounds, have been searching the woods and mountains for the fugitive, and so incensed are the citizens over the attempted murder and robbery of Inskeep and his housekeeper that no one living in the vicinity expects to see the negro brought back alive. $150,000 10 CRIPPLED GIRL Kindness of Child to Aged Man Wins Wealth In Later Years. Miss Marion L. Covert, a cripple, living in Poughkeepsie, N.

Thurston died three years ago in Chicago, and there will be a final accounting in Brooklyn next Saturday, when Miss Covert will receive the property willed to her. Miss Covert met Thurston in Marlborough, while she was visiting a relative there, and Thurston was boarding at a neighboring farm house. She gave him flowers and hunted for the finest fruit in the orchards for the aged man. Thurston returned to Marlborough every summer and spent much time with the child. When he was in Chicago they exchanged letters and kept up the friendship. Miss Covert was surprised to learn that the aged man had left her most of his property. Winter Potato Experiment. M. B.

Missionaries in Paraguay more than 200 years ago taught the native Indians to make lace by hand. Since that day the art has greatly developed, and in certain of the towns lacemaking is the chief occupation. Almost all the women, many children and not a few men are engaged in this industry. A curious fact with reference to the Paraguayan laces is that the designs were borrowed from the strange woven by the semitropical spiders that abound in that country.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (Continued from page 4.) come across with the price of this year's fixings, just reading the titles of some of these teachers who dressed like a Newport "four hundred" ball. You just can't tell who is watching you and talking about you, so the best thing to do is to do the best thing. You know colored schools don't have many girl pupils able to attend Wellesley College. Ninety-nine out of every hundred have got parents who have to hustle to meet the grocer's bill every month and often must let the rent run over till next month. Listen attentively to this homely advice I am giving you, free of charge, and don't let them force little Lord Fauntleroy to sign any more waivers, "by request." Cut this out and paste it on the mirror of your dresser so that you won't forget it. What forceably reminded me of this was that, I met one teacher down on F Street a few days ago who was dressed so fine, and so gaudy that she looked like one of Gibson's girls just broken out of a picture frame. She had all the clothes on she could buy, and they were some loud too, so loud that I couldn't hear the Marine band play as it went by. And I have been told that when one of these fussy-dressed fifth ribs meet some poor, half-dressed girl with a Topsy complexion and hair, who attends her school, she forgets to notice the girl. Fine clothes don't make a fine lady. A woman with a thimble full of brains and a hundred dollar dress on always appears to me like a bunch of gymnase weed. And who wants a gymnase weed? Announcement.

Fisk Wins From Tuskegee Tuskegee Institute, AKA, November 23, 1912 By a score of 7 to 6, Fisk University won from Tuskegee, last Saturday, in their annual football contest. This was the fourth game between these institutions and Tuskegee's first loss. Fisk excelled in punting and forward passes; Tuskegee was superior at straight football. Tuskegee used the forward pass twice only, and the second attempt scored from the 15 yard line. Fisk scored early in the first quarter. A punt from Tuskegee's 40 yard line bounded over Tuskegee's goal. Tuskegee fumbled and Fisk fell upon the ball. An easy goal gave the visitors the winning point. The referee's whistle at the end of the second half prevented Tuskegee from scoring another touchdown, as the ball had been brought within 7 yards of the Fisk goal. Fisk, never during the last three quarters came within striking distance of Tuskegee's goal. Booker T. Washington, Jr., was captain for Fisk, and played a consistant game for his team at full back. A large body of students from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for white young men, at, Alabama, came down to witness the contest, and several of them acted as officials. LIOUOR OUR FOE. Dr. C. W. Childs Addresses a Large Audience. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 23. Dr. Creed W. Childs, of this city, delivered an address upon the subject: "Alcohol The Foe to the Progress of the Human Race," before a large audience at the Lyric Exposition Hall in Baltimore on Monday last. The speaker presented statistics to prove that in spite of stringent laws and the prohibition wave the liquor traffic still sweeps the country and holds mankind within its deadly grasp. Dr. Childs said that prohibition does not always prohibit, especially in communities where intoxicants in any form are permitted to be sold. He dwelt largely upon the medical side of intemperance in drink as affecting man's mental and physical condition. The meeting was held under the auspices of the executive committee of "The World in Baltimore." A quartette from Hampton, Va., rendered several selections which, like the address of the speaker, were loudly applauded. Budd Harris He is one of the best tonsorial artists in this city.

With the value of the growing cotton crop and the crops of tobacco, rice and apples, the aggregate value of these principal farm products will amount to well beyond $5,000,000,000. Upon the preliminary estimates of production and prices announced, the value of the crops figure out as follows: Corn, $1,850,776,000; hay, $854,615,000; wheat, $803,039,000; oats, $476,169,000; potatoes, $183,501,000; barley, $120,845,000; flaxseed, $39,692,000; rye, $24,370,000; buckwheat, $12,526,000. Record crops of corn, potatoes flaxseed, oats, barley, rye and hay were harvested this year. The gov nment official estimates of the value of the various crops and its final estimates of total production will be announced in December. --- Bulgariana Take Turkish City. A dispatch from Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, says that Kirk-Killseh has been captured by the Bulgarian army, which has been fighting against the Turkish troops in the vicinity of Adrianople for several days. The possession of this fortress opens the way to a Bulgarian advance upon Adrianople, as Kirk-Killseh is regarded as the key to this great fortress, and is the headquarters of the Turkish Third Army Corps, commanded by Kenaan Pacha. The Turkish garrison at Kirk-Killseh, consisting of 5000 men, surrendered to the Bulgarians. The Turkish generals were among those captured. The fighting lasted five days, with heavy losses of life on both the Turkish and the Bulgarian sides. The capture of Adrianople is the next objective of the Bulgars. The Turkish garrison of Adrianople suffered heavy losses during the sortie from the northeastern quarter of the town. They left twelve cannon on the field when they retired. Thanks giving Proclamation. President Taft issued the time-honored Thanksgiving proclamation calling on the nation to render thanks for past blessings and setting aside Nov. 28 for the observance. Washington, Nov. 8.—President Taft issued the time-honored Thanksgiving proclamation calling on the nation to render thanks for past blessings and setting aside Nov. 28 for the observance. The president departed from the usual text to write in a little paragraph, which might refer to the election, and which specified how strong and steadfast the people were in the "conservation of the heritage of self-government bequeathed to us by the wisdom of our fathers and their firm resolve to transmit that heritage unimpaired." Lord Decles Is Sued. Lord Decies, who married Miss Vivien Gould, was sued in the London, Eng., courts by a firm of builders for $35,000, the balance of $100,000 for work at his country place, Theford Park. Lord Decies' defense was that the prices charged were exorbitant, and entered a counter claim for $35,000 damages for bad workmanship. The plaintiff's architect stated that Lord Decies had told him there would be no difficulty about the money, which was being found for him, and that decorative effects-were to be looked after by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Gould. The case was adjourned. Ban on Christmas Trees. The department of agriculture has placed an embargo upon the interstate shipments of Christmas trees from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, because of the gypsy and brown-tall moths. The quarantine becomes effective Nov. 25 and also affects the shipment of decorative plants, such as holly and laurel, known as "Christmas green or greenery." Only in cases where the plants and plant products have been inspected and pronounced to be free from these two insects by the department's inspectors will they be permitted to enter interstate commerce.

Americans by the thousand visit Mont St. Michel every year, there to explore the famous old monastery and feast on the renowned omelets of Mme. Poularde, and most of them tarry en route at St. Malo, the gay watering place on the Brittany coast, whose grim past is recalled by the fortifications by which it is begint. Chateaubriand, the father of French romanticism, is buried at St. Malo, and no true American sightseer falls to pay a visit to his tomb, nameless, which at high tide is covered by the sea. Jules Lamaitre in a work on "the great egotist," as he calls Chateaubriand, tells how the author bargained with the mayor of St. Malo for the grant of a rock whereon to plant his tomb, which, he stipulated, was to be a simple-stone with a cross, without a name, amid the waves. "He was bent," says Chateaubriand's latest biographer, "on astonishing the world, even when he could no longer be by to enjoy the effect. There was vanity" in his very skeleton."—New York Press. Hung by an Expert. The box car nomad wiped the last lingering ple crumbs from his lips with a grimy coat sleeve and dragged his reluctant feet over to where the scythe was. His whole nature revolted against touching the thing, but he had his part of the contract to fulfill. Besides, the farmer was watching. With the scythe in his hands he advanced cautiously toward the battle array of iron weeds in the fence corner and made three or four half hearted swipes at them. Then he rested the hated blade on the ground and called to the farmer. "Say, boss, this scythe ain't hung right." "Well," was the retort "hang it to suit yourself." Whereupon the hobo hung it upon a convenient sapling and departed hastily in the direction of the railroad track—Brooklyn Eagle. Right—Try It! Get up right in the morning. Go to bed right at night.

If all of us would only think how much of human happiness is made by ourselves there would be less of human misery. If all of us would bear in mind that happiness is from within and not from without there would be a wellspring of joy in every heart and the sun would shine forever. Try it.—John A. Sleicher in Lesile's. This Was Made in Germany. In a second class compartment on a German train in which a gentleman is seated enters a woman with a box of cheese. A very strong odor soon pervades the compartment, and the gentleman becomes restless. "Oh, pardon me, sir," says the woman. "I'm taking my husband a box of limburger cheese; he is so fond of it, and where we are in the country none can be bought. The smell is quite harmless." "Don't mention it!" replies the man. As the odor becomes stronger he lights a cigarette. "Excuse me," speaks up the woman, "this is not a compartment for smoking. As for myself, I would gladly stand the smoke, but the cheese will draw the odor of tobacco."—Fillegende Blatter. His Name and Profession. When Alfonso, XIII. of Spain was in the grip of his earliest motoring fever his car was not always recognized, and so he had some amusing experiences.

Arbitrators Point Out Danger to Public of Strikes and Federal and State Commission Suggested as Remedy. Thirty thousand locomotive engineers on fifty-two eastern railroads gain a partial victory in their demand for more wages, under the award announced by the board of arbitration. In its decision, however, the board holds that the public, which had no voice in the controversy, and no choice but to abide by the decision, had more at stake than either engineers or railroads; and the report emphasizes the necessity of plans to safeguard the public against the possibility of a future strike, whose consequences it depicts in somber vein. "It would be difficult to exaggerate the seriousness of such a calamity," reads the report. "It is safe to say that the large cities of the east would find their supply of many articles of food exhausted within a week. Of so important a commodity as milk they would have no more than a day's supply. If a strike of the character lasted for only a single week, the suffering would be beyond our power of description. The interests of the public so far exceed, those of the parties to a controversy as to render the former paramount. To this paramount interest both the railroad operators and the employees should submit." To place such a strike beyond the realms of probability, the board advocates the creation of federal and state wage commissions. These commissions, the board suggests, should be vested with practically the same powers over organized labor as public utilities commissions now exercise over quasi-public corporations. "It is the belief of the board," continues the decision, "that in the last analysis the only solution is to quality the principle of free contract in the railroad service." From this suggestion P. H. Morrisssey, the representative of the engineers on the board, dissents. While the award increases wages on some railroads and for some classes of service, it holds that a general increase on all roads is not warranted. The award dates back to May 1 last, and will hold for one year from that date. Mr. Morrissey, representing the engineers, has already indicated doubt as to its renewal. In the past, with several notable exceptions, the contracts between the roads and the engineers have been renewed annually. Following are the more important of the board's awards and the requests of the engineers: In passenger service, a minimum wage was granted of $4.25 for 100 miles or less; and an overtime rate of 50 cents per hour with an average speed of twenty miles per hour. The engineers asked $4.40 and $4.60 per day of 100 miles, according to the size of the locomotive cylinder, with an overtime rate of 70 cents per hour after five hours. In through freight service a minimum was granted of $4.75 per day of 100 miles or less, with overtime pro rata after ten hours. The engineers requested rates of $5.25, $5.50 and $5.75 per day of 100 miles, according to size of the engine; and $7 for Mallet engines; the same rates to apply to mine runs, wreck, helper or pusher, milk and circus traing. In local freight service, twenty-five cents additional to the through freight rates was granted. This met the full request of the engineers. In switching service, a minimum of $4.10 a day of ten hours or less was granted. The engineers asked $1.50 per day of ten hours in switching service and for belt line service. All existing rates higher than the minimum granted by the board are continued in force. In fixing the minimum wage in passenger service at $4.25 per day, a higher minimum rate is established for the roads, parties to the arbitration with the exception of a few. In awarding the minimum through freight rate of $4.75 per day, the board establishes wages for the district that measurably approach the current minimum of roads now paying the better rates. In making the rates for local freight service twenty-five cents higher to through freight service a general increase of compensation is granted. The effect of the twenty-mile per hour basis of computing overtime in the passenger service, the rules regarding final terminal delay and other changes in the rules of service are all more favorable to the engineers than existing rules on many of the roads.
