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 34 WASHINGTON. D.C. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1, 1913 PARENTS' MEETING PARENTS' MEETING. Dr. Marshall's Good Advice—An Interesting Meeting Last Tuesday Evening. One of the most interesting parents' meetings was held last Tuesday evening. The principal address was made by Dr. Charles N. Marshall, who gave some timely and beneficial advice to the children and parents. Dr. Marshall advised mothers to be more careful as to their daughters. That it was unfortunate that so many children have to leave their homes for school without sufficient food, some with one or two pennies to purchase doughnuts. "I would like to tell you what I see in the hospitals, but I cannot," said Dr. Marshall. It comes from young girls not being protected. You understand—against the assaults of brutes and unworthy men—and boys who don't respect the honor of females. I appeal to you, parents, to protect your young girls and have a watchful care of their surroundings. DR. CHARLES MARSHALL At the conclusion of Dr. Marshall's address he was loudly applauded, and he was followed by Mr. R. R. Homer, who took exception with all that Dr. Marshall had said and denied as being untrue. Many people became disgusted at Mr. Homer because they knew that Dr. Marshall knew what he was talking about and knew that he told them what they know to be a fact. There are today many children in the alleys of school age, but unable to attend school because they have not sufficient means and their parents too poor. Dr. Marshall truthfully said that there are today in the hospitals many young girls who have been ruined by evil traducers. If you go through the alleys you will see hundreds of colored children unattended. Dr. Marshall has given the parents good advice and plain truths, and it is unfortunate that such a speech as Mr. Homer's should have been delivered to the parents of the schools. KING WATERS, THAT'S ALL. Not Disappointed Because He Was Not Invited. To the Editor Washington Rec. January 25, 1913 In connection with your comment to-day on my recent letter concerning the Great Head-lined Elect among the colord people, I beg leave to say that when I wrote that letter I had it in mind to fire at the practice, followed by nearly every Negro "society editor" in the United States, of giving sonorous titles to a lot of nice? yes, but-after all very ordinary colored people whose stations in life cannot warrant such practices. I bought the Age Friday night, wrote my letter Saturday afternoon and mailed it Sunday night, so that you see I had a whole night and a day to "sleep" on the article and think about cutting it out. I knew, all along that there would be many who would think it was a case of "sour grapes," but of all considerations that might possibly have influenced me against sending in that letter, the "sour grapes" fling, I assure you, is both least and last. If my brother had given that dinner or reception, it would have been all the same to me; I would have shot at the "write-up" just the same. And I wish to add that in view of the fact that people who have known me for ten years or more are constantly giving dinners and receptions and are leaving me most beautifully out (much to my liking), it would have been very strange if I had been invited to a reception given by a gentleman to whom I have not yet had the honor of an introduction. Besides, formal dinners and receptions have the same status with me as that ten-acre tract which I acquired some years ago in Atlantic City. Never heard of that tract, did you? Well. I'll tell you where it is. It's just about two miles out from the end of the steel pier, in the Atlantic Ocean, where the people go fishing for sea bass. Anybody who can have 'em, believe me, it's cheap to Jeems. Now, just a word for the benefit of the "Sage." I was not aware that R.W. Thompson wrote that "notice" which appeared in the - New York Age. Had I known it, however, it would not have mattered a tinker's - whoa, Eph. I came near slipping up then - I would have limbered up my broadside just the same. The fact is or any other writer is wholly to blame for this grand investiture of titles among the colored people. It has been going on for years, the same people appearing in print week after week with the same titles, with, of course, the natural increment of new ones showing up from time to time. Had the practice of giving them titles been so distasteful, they could have stopped it long ago. Truth is, they liked it, that's all. So far as titles go, Mr. Editor, I guess I'm as well off as any of the dinges who have been "written up" for, lo, these many years. Be it remembered that I am "King Waters," yes, sir, or, to give you the complete official dope, I am "King Waters, the Last." See? The dynasty of the House of Waters, regally speaking, begins and ends with me. My son (in futuro) will not inherit the title, but will be known as plain Jim Waters. He will be expected to be a proud, high-strung descendant of his parents, but if he ever shows any symptoms of being a stuck-up. ass (who couldn't speak to servant girls whose "cold keena" he was glad enough to gobble up years ago before he was able to toady into a snide government job), I'll kick the pants off him. Well, soon after I became "My Royal Highness" some years ago, I found myself sitting one day amidst half a hundred cuspidors which I was polishing in the Hotel Islesworth, where I worked. "Kingy," muses I kind o' Ik Marvel-like, "things isn't like they used to be, bud; when our royal cousin, Henry VIII, was on the matt, the job was worth a little something. But, now—O my, how things has changed." Right then and there, Mr. Editor, I abdicated. My advancement from those old cuspidor-washin days has been slow but sure, but I am still Jim Waters and all the boy I knew then I know now, and I shake hands with 'em wherever I run across them. I may be 'wrong, but I can't help thinking I'm right and this, I opine, is where I differ from others around here who washed just as many cuspidors as I did. Meanwhile, sir, look on page 11 of the New York Times of January 20, 1913, and you will find among those on a certain committee, "G. B. Cortleyyou." I wonder who he is? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Wow!! JAMES C. WATERS, JR. 1339 T Street Northwest. NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL What Is Said of the Greatest Insurance Comparity in the World. Durham, N. C., Jan. 2, 1913. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, in Durham, N. C., which is considered the greatest Negro life and beneficial association in the world, has received the following letter from the Insurance Commission at Columbia. This is an evidence of the success of the company and the confidence the Commission has in it: Insurance Department of South Carolina. Fitz Hugh McMaster, Commissioner. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 17, 1912. Hon G. W. Dick, Sumter, S. C. Hon. G. W. Dick, Sumitier, S. C. My Dear Sir. You tell the boss of your culinary department that the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, of Durham, N. C., is a perfectly safe and solvent company. I have on deposit with me about $20, 000 in securities belonging to it and, if there is not now on deposit, it is probable there will be soon, with the Insurance Commissioner, of North Carolina, enough to make up $100,000. It is really a well managed Negro company: Insurance Commissioner. This letter shows the prompt manner in which the company pays it benefits: Bishop R. S. Williams. Augusta, Ga., Jan. 8, 1613. North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, Durham, N. C. Gentlemen: I write to acknowledge receipt of check for Five hundred ($500.00) Dollars in favor of the late Rev. F. M. Hamilton of Macon, Ga. As the executor of the estate I wish to thank you on behalf of the two orphan girls for this $500.00. The promptness with which it was paid, together with the business methods of the company, is bound to win friends. Again thanking you for the check for Dr. Hamilton. I beg to remain yours respectfully. R. S. WILLIAMS. MORE LEAN AND LESS FAT. Same Revenue and More Jobs—Local Colored Democrats Held a Largely Attended Meeting Last Night at Their Headquarters, 1022 U Street Northwest. Hon. L. C Moore, the president of the Local Alpha Democratic Club, delivered a timely and forceful address urging confidence and unity. He said that the great national political battle had been bravely fought and victory achieved by the largest electoral vote ever given, and if we love our race and wish to perpetuate pure democracy that stands for justice and honest dealings, let us set our selfishness in the background of our political ambitions. And let our motto be, "Peace on Earth, Good Will to All." Dissensions are destroying powers; unity is the key to the door of blessings. Nothing comes through strife. Let us act like men and work on for M. H. PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT, who is not Worried race, forgetting the past, and looking forward. Let us pull the beams out of our own eyes, unplug our ears and leave vengeance to God, and wait His justifying and providential hand. Let us not expect too much from the incoming administration. Although I believe to the victors belong the spoils, and home rule for the District of Columbia, also state rights: at the same time, let as agitate and contend for justice and manhood rights, remembering that evolution brings on revolution. Let us be not offensive but aggressive and economizing. There is a nation in this country that stood oppression for years, but today they are the leading financial and business people of the world, and I never heard of them holding a public indignation meeting. Let us exemplify their virtues, and quietly move forward and watch the disappearing of the dark clouds. I have confidence in Mr. Wilson and the incoming administration. I also believe Mr. Marshall in the Senate and that grand old state-man, Champ Clark, in the House, supported by broad-minded statesmen will guard well the rights and welfare of all the people to the end that all nations may rise up and call them blessed. As for the political spoils, I am in favor of more lean and less fat the same revenue and more jobs. Attorney Fontain Peyton. The only Negro in this city who was not on the Democratic pay roll and the only supporter of Wilson in this city among Negroes to make a contribution to Democratic leaders (white claim), if Mr. Wilson appoints a District man recorder of deers, Mr. Payton will be that man. URGES "BACK TO LAND" MOVE FOR NEGROES. Pegg Points to His Brother, Who Is Buying Blooded Cattle Here. Omaha Doc. Jan. 29 Four years ago Charles E. Pegg, then a young country boy from Oklahoma, located as a Kinkaider in Cherry County, the first of a large colony of colored people from the South who became Kinkaiders there, and who are prospering. He is in the city visiting his brother, John Grant Pegg, sealer of weights and measures, and buying blooded stock for his ranch. From Henry C. Glisman of the Rock Brook farm west of the city he bought six Holstein cows and a registered Holstein bull, and is today shipping them to Whitman, his nearest railroad town, Mr. Gilsman told him that in thirty-one years' experience in selling blooded cattle this was the first time that a colored man had ever been his customer. brother to locate in Cherry County, is a warm advocate of the back to the land movement for colored people. "There are scores of big able-bodied colored men around Omaha here who are just making a hand-to-mouth living as porters or janitors or in other jobs that will never get them anywhere, and there are thousands of acres of vacant land to which they could go and become independent in a few years of hard work," he said. "My brother could have gotten work in Omaha four years ago, and would probably have nothing more than his things to show for it now he stayed here. Now he is well fixed, and no one stops to ask whether his eggs and his chickens and his cattle are raised by a colored man or a white man." FIFTH BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. Willis, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church, is having a grand success at his revival. The three hundred that bolted from his church and organized another church have been informed of an addition of 650 new converts. Hundreds are being turned away, so great has been his success since the withdrawal of the bolting faction. James A. Ross. Mr. Ross is a great Negro Democrat politician of Buffalo, N. Y., and a candidate for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. It is said, if Mr. Wilson depalts from the home-rule Democratic platform, either Mr. Ross or Mr. Langston will be recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. "ALL THE WARM" DANCES AT NEGRO INAUGURAL BALL. Convention Hall Being Enlarged to Hold Crowd—Negro Officeholders Turning Democrats. Special to The World. Washington. Jan. 26—Convention Hall, where the Woodrow Wilson Negro Democratic League will hold an inaugural ball March 5, is being enlarged to accommodate 10,000 people. Giles B. Jackson, the Negro millionaire of Richmond, who is at the head of the league, is expected here soon to take charge of the arrangements. Leading Washington Negroes say that the turkey trot, the honey bug, the buzzard lope, the jumbo wombo and the one-step dances will be permitted, while trained Southern Negroes will do the old-time. cake-walk. Two local bands—one from Baltimore. The colored inaugural ball is not new to Washington. For almost a hundred years the Negroes have imitated the white people by giving such a ball. Generally these affairs have been financial successes. Hupidreds of Republican Negro officeholders have turned Democratic since November and are among the most enthusiastic supporters of Wilson. All of these new recruits are buying tickets to show their loyalty to their new party. "I have voted the wrong ticket ever since the war," Jim Harris, a Virginia Negro who works in the Senate office building, "but if the Lord will forgive me for the past I will stay right in the future. The Democrats are the people." This is a lie. The colored people in this city have nothing to do with this Giles B. Jackson force. They are not purchasing tickets. More next week. —Editor. RALPH E. LANGSTON, The Son of the Late John M. Langston. Mr. Langston is an original Democrat and a scholar. The son of the M. late John M Langston, who was the first to organize a Wilson and Marshall Club in New York and the only Negro Democrat in the city who was not on the Democratic pay roll. He contributed. Washington, D. C., January 24. Editor of The Bee: Through the columns of your paper I wish to enter a mild protest in the following terms, which are self-explanatory: The people who will on March 4, 1913, induct into office the next President of the United States; who will conduct all the ceremonies appurtenant and incidental to the inauguration, with no more than a possible trace of Negro admixture in the whole process, who by virtue of existing customs and theories of right and because of their numerical strength will naturally take (and be given) all the attendant places of honor and trust, and e converso, should hear all the responsibilities of securing and insuring the befittingness of the occasion, have wisely decided, and against long-established precedent, that a ball is not essential to its proper observance, while the Negroes, who have at all times past had but little recognition in inaugural affairs, and who now stand about a 3 to 1 chance of having even less, are grafting them-elves into elaborate and unnecessarily foolish plans to celebrate—WHAT?—with at least two ball—the Comus Club and the Citizens—and possibly more. The inauguration is purely a political demonstration, in which the victor gathers the spoils; the vanquished shows that he is a good loser, and the Negro, as it were—who is neither reckoned with the victors nor among the vanquished—shows that he is a FOOL. And the people in charge of the inaugural ceremonies realize that the freer those ceremonies are from purely social aspects the less obvious, but not so with the Negroes, whose vision is easily distorted by any excuse, no matter how weak, to indulge in a lot of unnecessary pomp and imitation. The excuse that these balls are for the entertainment of visiting friends is TOO weak to afford a shield to all the abuse that will be heaped behind it. The writer would suggest that the proper advertisement of these so-called inaugural functions be: "The Quadriennial Fool's Carnival" (Signed) A FOOL (but of a different kind) The writer's name will be furnished on request to publisher. Ex-Recorder Dancy. The Bee has the highest respect and admiration for Ex-Recorder of Deeds John C. Dancy. He is a man who attends to his own business and never is known to depreciate the work and value of others. Mr. Dancy is and has been a loyal and consistent Republican, good natured and jovial. He has just returned to the city from an extended southern trip and he is always a welcome visitor when he comes to this city.

Moore appointed a committee of five to make arrangements for same. By unanimous vote the name of the club was changed, and hereafter will be known as the Colored Wilson and Marshall Club of the District of Columbia. Bishop Walters made a brief address, and advised the members to be straight Democrats, and not seek to hide their political faith under any qualifying term. The day of jumping-jack politics is gone, and a man must declare himself, and not be on the fence, if he expects recognition from any of the great parties. Operatic Concert.

MURDER MYSTERY IS CLEARED Farm Hand Says He Was Lying In Wait For Another When Girl Appeared. The mystery surrounding the fatal attack made upon Miss Luella Is Marshall on the outskirts of Trenton, N. J., on the evening of Dec. 3 was suddenly cleared up when William Atzenhafer, thirty years old, confessed the crime after he had been placed in the power of the police by Miss Idia Capen, a trained nurse, and Dr. Joseph G. Denolsbeck, a physician, host of Trenton. This unexpected turn in this now famous crime startled the police and the people of Trenton. The confession came when all hope of solving the mystery had disappeared and while the police authorities of Mercer county were discussing theories and motives for the assault. The first intimation that Atzenhafer was connected with the crime came to Miss Capen, whose suspicions were aroused by the man's eagerness to obtain information from newspapers regarding Miss Marshall's condition before her death and the movements on the police afterward. Miss Capen communicated her suspicions to Dr. Denelsbeck, who was attending a case which Miss Capen was nursing. Dr. Denelsbeck interviewed Atzenhafer and became convinced that he was Miss Marshall's assailant: He caused the suspect to come to Trenton and housed him in a hotel. Then the physician informed the police and a confession was readily obtained. Atzenhafer told Prosecutor William J. Crossley, of Mercer county, that he attacked Miss Marshall, but declared he mistook her for another person and that he did not intend to kill her. When questioned as to whom he thought he was attacking, Atzenhafer said he had no reason to attack any one. Further questioning brought from Atzenhafer the fact that the attack was made with the two and a half foot length of pipe found by the side of Miss Marshall's unconscious form the night of the crime. said he got the pipe from two houses in course of tear the scene of the ed that after he struck he dragged her body through a barbed wire her unconscious in the approach of two men. and he got the pipe from two houses in course of ear the scene of the ed that after he struck he dragged her body through a barbed wire her unconscious in the approach of two men. Atzennafter told the prosecutor that he had no reason to strike Miss Marshall, and insisted that no such intent was in his mind. The actions on the man indicate weak mentality. Atzennafter for some time was employed at the Purity milk farm near Penning on About $3000 was offered as a reward for the capture of the assailant. I will probably go to Miss Capen and Dr. Denelsbeck. Of the total reward $1000 was offered by the state of New Jersey. MOTHER SHOT BY SON Lad Was Cleaning Gun He "Didn't Know Was Loaded." Mrs. James Williams, of Grafton Mass., is in a dying condition as the result of being shot by her twelve year-old son, Spencer, who was cleaning a shotgun which he "didn't know was loaded." The mother was at work washing dishes. The boy was in a corner of the room working over an old shotgun. He had been warned by his mother to be careful, but he answered that the gun was not loaded. He had hardly spoken when the report of a shot echoed through the house. The charge went through the mother's arm, tearing away the flesh and lodging in her body. The boy used a tourniquet about her arm to stop the flow of blood and then ran for a doctor. Eight Killed by Boiler Explosion. Three white men and five negroes were killed and several negroes are messing as the result of the explosion of one of the boilers at the shops of the Seaboard Air Line railroad at Hamlet, N. C.

THEY EXPECT NO MERGY Prisoners Expect to Be Sent to Federal Jail at Leavenworth, Kan., Witnout Stay of Judgment. Thirty-eight union labor leaders, who had been convicted under the federal statutes, said their goodbyes to members of their families in the Merion county jail in Indianapolis, Ind. From the moment the prison was open to visitors the wives, children and other relatives of the convictes men swarmed into the gray wailed building to give cheer and comfort to the men who are to hear their sentences from the lips of Judge A. H. Anderson. Mrs. Frank J. Higgins, o Boston, who fainted when she saw her husband led out of the courtroom following his conviction, was one of the first callers. Seemingly all hope of appeal or delay has departed from the prisoners. None of them had a word of comfort or cheer for their visitors. All believed they were to be "railroaded" to the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Knan, without stay of judgment. Almost the entire executive staff of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers was convicted. Only two officials of that union now remain out of jail. It was in this union of structural ironworkers, with 12,000 members, that John J. McNamara was secretary-treasurer while he continued the dynamitings out of which the present convictions grew. President Frank M. Ryan, when asked what would be done in the interests of the ironworkers' union, now that all except two of its officials were in prison, said: "I will say nothing about that at this time." President Ryan's only comment on the verdict was: "Greater men than we are have been incarcerated. In olden times they used to cut off the ears of honest men." United States Marshal Schmidt had prepared for a special train, which will leave Indianapolis for Leavenworth as soon as the sentences are pronounced. Each of the convicted men has been informed by counsel or deputy marshals that he will be sentenced separately by Judge Anderson, in accordance with the court's view of his degree of guilt. The uppermost thought in the minds of all the men is not the parting with friends and relatives, but the term on imprisonment they will have to suffer, and it is small wonder that they exhibit but slender interest in their visitors. Sentences from thirty-nine years to less than a year in prison may be imposed, at the discretion of the judge. There was no attempt on the part of the convicted men to get together, as each knows his sentence must rest upon the judge's conviction of the quality of his guilt. Some of the men undoubtedly are facing heavy sentences. Their lawyers have been in conference with these men about the appeal they should make to the judge. So far as can be learned, none of them has decided to make a special plea for clemency. Should one man weaken and make a plea for mercy, others doubtless will follow, but it is the belief of the presocuting attorney that there will be no turning back, and that each man as he comes up for sentence will receive his punishment without a word. KILLS SELF BEFORE WIFE Husband Calls Her to Look and Fires Bullet Into $^1$Head. Harry C. Cummings, thirty-two years old, who was president of a concoct manufacturing company in Philadelphia until three yars ago, and whose mother lives in Pottsville, Pa., commited suicide at his home in Baltimore, Md. Cummings arose early, and while he was dressing awoke his wife. When she asked what he was doing Cummings said he had been figuring on his accounts. Then he called to her to look at him, and as she did so, he pointed a pistol to his head and fired. He died instantly. Cummings conducted a grocery store and had been worrying over his finances.

Mother Kills Children With Axe. During a fit of insanity, Mrs. Dan Redfern, aged twenty-six years, of Fort Smith, Ark., selzed an axe and crushed the heads of her two children, Clem, aged two years, and Leonard, aged four months, killing them instantly, and then cut her own throat with a razor. A Wonderful Prodlay. The king of prodigies died on June 27, 1725, at the age of five, after having astonished the whole world. His history is the most remarkable in human annals and is attested by evidence which has satisfied all the learned inquirers who have written about him. The infant, Christian Melleken, was born of respectable parents in Lubeck, 1721. A few hours after his birth he began a conversation, at ten months there was scarcely a subject on which he could not express an opinion, and at a year and a month he had mastered both the Old and New Testaments. He was only two and a half when he was able to answer questions concerning anything in ancient and modern history, and he was also at this time an expert geographer. He spoke Latin and French and at the age of four was speaking in the French language at the court of Denmark. All this time he was being nursed by his mother. At the age of five it became necessary for him to be weaned, and in consequence of this change of diet he died, leaving psychologists an insoluble problem—Westminster Gazette. Politician and Other Bibles "You bibliophiles talk about the 'breeches' Bible, the 'bug' Bible, the 'politician' Bible, the 'vinegar' Bible, and so on. What do those names mean?" "I'll tell you," the collector answered. "Take first the 'breeches' Bible. It is so called because a typographical error in it causes the garments made by Adam and Eve out of fig leaves to be termed breeches instead of aprons. "In the 'vinegar' Bible of 1807 the word 'vineyard' is misprinted 'vinegar.'" word vineyard is imprinted vinegar. "The printers' Bible, 1702, makes the psalmist say, 'Printers have persecuted me without a cause.'" "The 'religious' Bible, which was printed in 1637, put 'religious' for 'rebellious' in the fourth chapter, seventeenth verse of Jeremiah—Because she hath been religious, * * * saith the Lord.' "The politician' Bible was published at Geneva in 1652. It makes the famous verse 'Blessed are the peacemakers' read 'Blessed are the place makers.'" A Radical Old Aristocrat. "The old French aristocracy dies with me," cried the Princess de Valmont on her deathbed. She was a bitter old soul, who, born of a long line of uncontaminated ancestors and married to a noble of equally superfine strain, had, through her husband's death in financial difficulties, to marry her five children to "abominable persons" of high character, but with the blight of trade or industry in their blood. Her last years were made mournful to her by this pitiful descent, and just before her grandlose last utterance, looking with a bitter smile at her children and grandchildren in tears round her deathbed, she broke silence in the following terrible reflection: "We have here," counting on her singers, "representatives of carriage making, wholesale grocery, confectionery, coal mining and the stock exchanges, and all grafted on the old tree of the De Valmonts." The Value of Knowledge. Mrs. Featherton had embroidered a gown for herself. Butterflies were the design, and she bad made them look so natural that—so Mr. Featherton said—one would think they were actually alive. But Mrs. Featherton's little son was more critical. He regarded the decorative insects long and earnestly, opened his lips to speak and then, with remarkable self control for one so young, closed them again without speaking. "Well, Frankle," said his mother at last, "tell me what you think of my butterflies." "They are very nice, mother," replied he seriously, "but the next time you embroider butterflies would you mind putting the antennae on the other end?"—New York Press. Osculation Conjugation Sam Slick once said that kisses were, like creation, made out of nothing and very good, and another American writer thus conjugated the verb "to kiss:" "Buss," to kiss; rebus, to kiss again; pluribus, to kiss without regard to numbers; syllabus, to kiss the hands instead of the lips; blunderhuss, to kiss the wrong person; crebus, to kiss in the dark; omnibus, to kiss every one in the room."

Luther McCarty beat Al Palzer to a frazzle in their fight for the white heavyweight championship of the world at the Vernon arena in Los Angeles, Cal., scoring what amounted to a knockout soon after the eleighteenth round started. Referee Eyton stopped the fight during this round, as Palzer was hopelessly licked. He was just able to stagger to the center of the ring when the bell called him to his fate. The big fellow was a whipped man after the fifteenth round, but he managed to hold on through the fifteenth and sixteenth, three minute periods. He was groggy when he came on for the seventeenth round, but he showed wonderful nerve, and his ability to take punishment enabled him to stay the round out. He could hardly find his corner at the end. Congressman Leaps Off Ship. Congressman William W. Wedemeyer, of Ann Arbor, Mich., who suddenly went insane while on a visit to Colon, Panama, at the time of President Taft's recent visit to the Isthmus, jumped overboard from a ship on which he had been taken at Colon. His body has not been recovered. Mr. Wedemeyer went to the Isthmus with a congressional party at the same time that the president visited there. On the voyage from New York he collapsed and was taken to a sanatorium in Panama, and later was placed in confinement in a hospital, where he became violent and raved about his defeat at the recent election. He developed a suicidal tendency and was closely watched. Senator Resigns Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, who sang his "swan song" last week, resigned from the United States senate. This action was expected, although Mr. Bailey said that he might not offer his resignation for several days, so that it would not detract from his speech in which he defended the constitution and assailed the plan of direct legislation as proposed in the initiative, referendum and recall. Mr. Bailey will be succeeded by his closest personal and political friend, Colonel R. M. Johnson, Democratic national committeeman from Texas. Johnson will hold the seat till March 4, when the term for which Bailey was elected will expire. Three Boys Drowned. Four little boys while playing on the ice near their homes in Boardmanville, near Olean, N. Y., ventured out upon some thin ice and three of them were plunged to death in the water. Charles Fitch, the lone survivor of the quartette, ran frantically up and down the bank while his companions struggled for life in the stream. Before assistance could be obtained the water had claimed all three boys. The bodies were, subsequently recovered and taken to their homes. The drowned are: Raymond Fath, aged eleven; Homer and Millo Williams, twelve and fourteen years old respectively. Seven Killed When Bridge Falls. The first day of the new year brought to the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad disaster. An engine of the heaviest type, pulling westbound freight train No. 99, plunged through a temporary bridge spanning the Guyan river at Guyandotte, on the eastern edge of Huntington, W. Va. Seven men were hurled to death and a half dozen more were seriously hurt. The dead are: F. E. Weber, engineer; Henry White, watchman; Emmet Wood, bridgeworker; Charles Haddle, bridgeworker; James Crawford, bridgeworker; Charles Coyner, bridgeworker, and J. G. Wheeler, a bridgeworker. Malls 1000 Paying Bricks One thousand concrete paving blocks, each in a separate stamped parcel, were the first instalment of parcels post mail to leave Gary, Ind. Two big drays carrying the blocks, wrapped and addressed, backed up to the postoffice. The postoffice force had to carry the 6000 pounds of blocks into the office to have the stamps canceled. The blocks are being sent out as samples by a manufacturer, who found that he could send them cheaper by parcels post than by express. "Newsboy" Dles at 105.

Solitary Confinement. the punishment which replaced the death penalty in Italy—namely, life imprisonment with solitary confinement is considered to be much worse than death itself. Murderers sentenced to Me imprisonment invoke death to end their sufferings. Isolation, complete in the very sense of the word—enforced idleness, lack of exercise and sufficient food and continual surveillance in a cell so small as to almost render any movement impossible—such is the fate of a murderer in Italy. Solitary confinement lasts for five long years, sometimes for ten, but convicts can hardly bear it for more than six months. Invariably they are insane long before the term expires, and often they commit suicide. The fear of solitary confinement acts as a preventive to murder as much as and perhaps much more than that of capital punishment. It is quite true that the cases of murder have not diminished to any great extent in Italy since the abolition of the death penalty; but, on the other hand, they have not increased—Chicago News. German Justice A curious illustration of the principle of responsibility abroad is afforded by a civil damage suit growing out of the breaking of a plate glass window in a German town. A witness had testified as follows: "As I was passing down the street in front of the window I saw a big stone come whirling through the air. I did not know whence it came. I saw it coming through the air, and I had just time enough to dodge to save myself from being hit by it." The witness was sharply questioned upon the point whether the stone that broke the window would have struck him had he not dodged it. He was then dismissed. Eventually the decision of the magistrate was this: "Inasmuch as if the witness had not unfortunately ducked his head the glass would not have been struck by the stone, he is hereby adjudged responsible for the breaking of the window and is ordered to pay to the owner the value of the same."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Brea Stick to One Flower It is usually supposed, especially by the poets, that bees sip sweets indiscriminately from many a flower. He woos the Poppy and weds the Peach, Inveigles Daffydowndilly; And then, a deserter, abandons each For the petals of the Lily. The seasons appear rather mixed in the verse, which in other respects, however, reflects the popular belief about bees. It is far from being the true one. All bees, including the honey bee, show a strong tendency in collecting both nectar and pollen to be constant to one species of flower. This is manifestly for the advantage of both insects and flowers. In the case of a number of bees flying for only a small part of the season this habit has become so specialized that they visit only one or a few allied species of flowers which offer an abundance of pollen and nectar—London Post. The Japanese take the moving picture with the seriousness befitting the national character. They enjoy it thoroughly, but they like it best when it makes them sad. The favorite theme is the allegorical play that represents the warrior fighting for righteousness. Next in popularity comes the pathetic picture. The strictly educational film is also popular, and there is always applause for good scenery. But the love story is never represented in the Japanese moving picture. It would be an outrage to modesty and a violation of decency and therefore intolerable. Pictures derogatory to the dignity of officials and of policemen are forbidden, as well as those likely to instill revolutionary ideas in the minds of the young. A Dangerous Precedent. The best case which I have seen of law versus justice and common sense is one which Montaligne relates as having happened in his own day. Some men were condemned to death for murder. The judges were then informed by the officers of an inferior court that certain persons in their custody had confessed themselves guilty of the murder in question and had told so circumstantial a tale that the fact was placed beyond all doubt. Nevertheless it was deemed so bad a precedent to revoke a sentence and show that the law could err that the innocent men were delivered over to execution.—London Graphic. By Comparison.

You often hear of a man or woman or an object of some sort that is proclaiming to be "worth his (her or its) weight in gold." Did you ever stop to figure out what your weight in gold would be? Or your sweetheart's? Or your baby's? Or your favorite pipe's? You can do it, approximately. The value of gold fluctuates. Usually it runs in price somewhere between $19 and $20 an ounce. Let's take the latter amount. It's easier to figure with. Gold is weighed by troy weight, twelve ounces to the pound. In other words (at $20 an ounce) $240 a pound. Do you weigh 150 pounds? Then your weight in gold is about $38,000. (The "capitalization" of a man who gets an $1,800 a year salary.) Is your girl's weight 110 pounds? She is worth only about $26,400. Nearly $10,000 less than yourself, though you probably won't acknowledge it—to her. If your pipe weighs two ounces its weight in gold is $40. Your ten pound baby is worth only $2,400 in gold. So you see "worth its weight in gold" is not such exorbitant praise after all. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Wit of Philip of Macedon Plutarch tells the following stories, good in their way, of Philip of Macedon: In passing sentence on two rogues he ordered one to leave Macedonia with all possible speed, and the other to try to catch him. No less astute was his query as to a strong position he wished to occupy, which was reported by the scouts to be almost impregnable. "Is there not," he asked, "even a pathway to it wide enough for an ass laden with gold?" Philip, too, according to Plutarch, is entitled to the fatherhood of an adage which retains its ancient fame about "calling a spade a spade." Another story tells how Philip moved a judge, because he discover that the man's hair and beard we "I could not believe," Plutarch reports the king as saying, "that one wha was false in his hair could be hones in his judgments." Tannyson and Tobacco. Tennyson's devotion to his pipe is well known, but the following story of it will probably be fresh to most readers. A friend had driven him from Plymouth to visit an old lady who stood in no awe of the poet. The visitors were invited to remain for the night, but on Mr. Tennyson's stipulating that if he did he should be allowed to smoke in his bedroom the old lady bridled up. That she could not allow. Bedroom smoking was not only objectionable, but dangerous, and for no one would she relax her prohibition rule. Mr. Tennyson proving equally obdurate the hostess' own carriage was ordered out, and he was sent in it back to his hotel at Plymouth, whence; however, he returned the next morning to breakfast—From Mrs. Walford's Recollections. This Theory Is Now Doubted. The increase of temperature observed is about 1 degree F. for every fifteen yards of descent in the earth. Taking, then, as correct, the present observed rate of increase, the temperature would be as follows: Water will boil at the depth of 2,430 yards; lead melts at the depth of 8,400 yards; there is red heat at the depth of seven miles; gold melts at twenty-one miles; cast iron melts at seventy-four miles and soft iron melts at ninety seven miles. At the depth of 100 miles there is a temperature equal to the greatest artificial heat yet observed, a temperature capable of fusing platinum, porcelain and indeed every refractory substance we are acquainted with.-Humboldt's Cosmos. Von Moltke at Cards. Count von Moltke, Germany's great field marshal, never lost a battle, and it annoyed him to lose a game of cards. A biographer says of his old age: "The family were trained to let him win if they could without his noticing their maneuver, and they would reckon up the sums to the smallest amount. 'It is really wonderful that I have won in spite of my bad play,' he remarked to me once rather suspiciously, but he ablided by the result." Light of the Stars The light of the stars has been measured and the following results have been obtained: The light that we receive from stars of the first magnitude, like Vega, is equal approximately to a forty-thousand-millionth part of that of the sun. It is calculated that the total light received from the lesser stars is equal to that of 3,000 stars of the first magnitude, or a sixth part of that which is sent to us from the moon.

Eight-Get Six Years Each, Two Four Years. Twelve Three Years. Four Two Years and Six One Year and One Day. The thirty-eight labor union leaders convicted in the federal court on Saturday of conspiracy in connection with the interstate transportation of dynamite, were called up for sentence in Indianapolis, Ind. One prisoner received seven years, eight six years each, two four years each, twelve three years each, four two years each, six one year and one day each. Five prisoners were given their liberty through suspended sentences. One, though he pleaded guilty, was given a suspended sentence, making a total of thirty-nine prisoners disposed of. Frank M. Hyan, head of the ironworkers' union, was given the heaviest sentence, a prison term of seven years. Others were given terms ranging from one to six years. Olaf Trootmoe, of San Francisco, convicted on charges of aiding in plotting the destruction of the Los Angeles Times, building, and Eugene A. Clancy, also of San Francisco, were given six years each, as was also Herbert S. Hockin, once secretary of the international union. Terms of imprisonment were imposed as follows: Seven years—Frank M. Ryan, president of the ironworkers' union Six years—John T. Butler, Buffalo, vice president; Herbert S. Hockin, former secretary and formerly of Detroit; Olaf A. Tvletmei, San Francisco, co. secretary of the California Building Trade Council; Eugene A. Clancy, San Francisco; Philip A. Cooley, New Orleans; Michael J. Young, Boston; J. K Munsey, Salt Lake City, Utah; Frank C. Webb, New York. Four years — John H Barry, St Louis; Peter J. Smith, Cleveland. Three years — Paul J. Morrin, St. Louis; Henry W. Leglietini, Denver; Charles N. Baum, Minneapolis, Minn.; Michael J. Cunnane, Philadelphia, Edward Smythe, Peoria, Ill.; Murray L. Pennell, of Springfield, Ill.; Wilford Bert Brown, of Kansas City, Mo.; George Anderson, of Cleveland, O.; Michael J. Hannon, Scranton, Pa.; Ernest G. W. Basey, Indianapolis; William J. McCalm, Kansas City; William E. Reddin, Milwaukee. Two years—Fred Sherman, Indianapolis; Richard P. Houlban, Chicago; Frank J. Higgins; Boston; Frank K. Palner, Omaha. One year an one day—Edward E. Phillips, New York; Charles Wachtmelster, Detroit; Fred J. Mooney, Duluth; James E' Ray, Peoria, Ill.; William C. Bernhardt, Cincinnati; William Shupe, Chicco. Sentences on the following were suspended: Patrick F. Farrell, New York; James Cooney, Chicago; James Coughlin, Chicago; Hiram R. Kline, Muncle, Ind.; Frank J. Murphy, Detroit. On motion of the government, Edward Clark, Cincinnati, confessed dynamiter, who testified for the government, was given a suspended sentence. One of the six men who were given their liberty by suspended sentences, Clark, confessed to blowing up a bridge with the help of Hockin. He appeared as a witness for the government. Ortie E. McManigal, another confessed dynamiter, was not sentenced at this time. The sentences of one year and one day were imposed so that these men might be confined in a federal prison. Prisoners with terms of less than one year are kept in the county jails. Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson had many of the prisoners whom he said, he considered less guilty than the rest, brought before him to make statements. Thus for an hour' and a half the judge in a conversational way asked them whether they believed in dynamiting as a method of promoting a strike. All of them professed innocence. All the prisoners who received prison sentences were taken to the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan. Prison and Fines For Editors. R. S. Sheridan and C. O. Broxon, publisher and managing editor, respectively of the Boise, Idaho, Capital News, and A. R. Bruze were found guilty of contempt of court by the state supreme court and sentenced to ten days in the county jail and fined $500 each. The paper had printed and commented editorially upon a message to the people of Idaho from Colonel Roosevelt, criticising adversely a decision of the court by which names of Progressive candidates for electors were barred from ballots in Idaho. Cruzen was charged in the complaint with being interested in the newspaper. The costs also were assessed against Cruzen. In the answer filed two weeks ago by Sheridan and Broxon, representing the Capital-News Publishing company, they admitted responsibility for publication of alleged contemptuous articles in the Capital-News, and in explanation said the articles were published Notions as to "Lost Arta." Current tradition credits the ancients with many "lost arts." It is still common to hear people say that means unknown to us must have been employed to erect the pyramids, that the Damascus blade is beyond the power of modern cutters and that the art of hardening copper died with some little brown Aztec. In point of fact, larger stones than any found in the pyramids have been quarried in Maline, carried across the sea and erected in buildings in England and France. If any one cared to pay the cost there are plenty of contractors who would build a replica of the largest pyramid and would not take so very long about it. It is doubtful whether a "Damascus blade" will stand as much as a good modern hand saw or the spring of a cheap clock. Copper can be hardened by modern methods to equal any specimen that has been left to us by the ancients. Many arts that are supposed to be lost are simply abandoned because there is no modern need of cultivating them, and others are not even abandoned, but employed every day and improved upon.—New York Tribune. Old English Press Gange In the past the news of a shortage of men in the navy and the hint of action by the admiralty would have put the merchantman on guard. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, for instance, there was a call for sailors for the navy, and "persuasion" was the rule. "The press in the Thames for the last three days has been very severe. Five or six hundred seamen have been laid hold of." Thus runs one of many entries in the papers of the period. It was not always peaceful "pressing," as this item in the Times of 1735 will prove: "There was a very hot press on the river Friday night last, when several hundred able seamen were procured. One of the gangs in boarding a Liverpool trader was resisted by the crew, when a desperate array took place, in which many of the former were thrown overboard, and a lieutenant who boarded them was killed by a shot from the vessel."—London Chronicle. A Bit of Kitchener's Tact. The Egyptian Bedouin is not compelled to pay taxes or to render the ordinary obligations of citizenship, which in Egypt includes military service. Soon after the outbreak of the war between Turkey and Italy a delegation of Bedouins approached General Kitchener and told him that they wanted to go across the border to the assistance of their hard pressed fellows in Tripoli. The English general admitted with unexpected readiness that their request was reasonable, but he reminded them that by granting it he would be creating a precedent which would make them liable for military service with the Egyptian army. The delegation withdrew, and Kitchener was not troubled any more with requests for leave to cross the border. Scotsmen and Funerals Englishmen, says Ian Maclaren in "Books and Bookmen," bear themselves well at marriages, where Scottsmen are at a disadvantage because the cautious Scotch eye is focused upon an uncertain future. But the Scottsman shines at a funeral as one of the luxuries of life: "Peter," says one mourner to his neighbor at the tail of a walking funeral, "dlv ye see Jamie Thompson walking in the front side by side wl' the chief mourner and him no a drop o' blood to the corpse?" "Fine I see him, a forward, upsettin', amnestious body. He would be inside the hearse if he could"-the most awful and therefore most enviable position for a sober minded Scot. The House of Romanoff. The house of Romanoff passed out of existence with the death of its last survivor, Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, who was succeeded as ruler of Russia by her nephew, Peter of Oldenburg, duke of Holstein-Gottorp, son of her younger slater, Grand Duchess Ann. It is from this ear, who reigned as Peter III., that the whole of the reigning house of Russia are descended, and they are, therefore, not Romanoffs, but Oldenburg. Paid Her a Compliment Dr. Johnson never had a reputation for paying compliments, but it is related that once when Mrs. Slddona, the great actress, called on him in Bolt court and the servant did not readily bring her a chair he said.

ASK THE DEMOCRATS Their Virtues He Extolled—Mr. Cunningham's Inconsistencies. Editor The Bee: God forbid that we should ever do an act of any kind that would bring reproach upon ourselves. For, in so doing we would, in the eyes of unjust public sentiment, at the same time bring reproach upon the entire race with which we are identified. Oh, that a spark of justice, and just one ray of Christianity, could find its way into the heart of public sentiment when it sits in court to pass upon the actions of an individual colored man when he is charged with having committed a bad crime fashioned after those committed by his white brother. How different the verdict would be. There comes to our mind the continual outbreaks of that Jack Johnson. Jack, by his foolish actions, is doing the race more harm than any Negro, living or dead, had done. Cannot some intelligent man reach that ignorant monkey and talk some sense into his cranium? Jack is going from bad to worse every breath he draws. Of course, Jack hasn't done—nor he can't do—any worse things than some of the white pugilists have done. But whatever the white man does, he (the white man) alone is charged with it. And Jack ought to have sense enough to know that if he does anything good he (Jack) alone gets a little credit for it. But if he does a dirty deed his entire race must share the blame in the American court of Christian (?) public sentiments. So, then, some way should be found to reach that Negro and tell him about the great harm he is doing his race by fooling with white women. The white man hasn't got any more women than he needs himself. Indeed, he hasn't enough on them; for it he had it would save him of the trouble of continually running after his old "black mammy". Though she be an eyestore to him, when the sun is shining, there is no night too dark; nor hours too late, for the white man to be hammering on the back gate of his old "black mammy" crying and beckoning for admittance when he ought to be at home in company with those whose virtue he professes to be so mindful of. As for us, we believe that every man should shinny on his own sole. The Bible says, "He ye not unequally yoked together." Did you ever see an ox and a mule harnessed together? Yes? Well, did you ever see a more unequal match? That is just the way a colored man and a white woman look when they are hooked up together—and vice versa. May the good Lord help us to stay apart in the things' which cause so much hatred, talk, and confusion. And may the day of brotherly love soon down upon us and find each one viewing with the other for the betterment of ALL mankind alike. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. THE KINGDOM A Lily White Organization Composer of Certain Negro School Teachers. The so-called lily white organization known as The Kingdom is now being fully investigated, and The Bee-hopes to have a full report by its next issue. Quite a number of the same individuals were members of the other lily white organization. Negro women who have graduated from the public schools and arrogate to, themselves superiority over the other respectable citizens should be taught a lesson. The Kingdom is the name of this new organization and quite a number of its members are teachers in the public schools. They wear white veils when they promounce the public streets so that they will not be recognized by their datker complexioned associates. Many of them would rather be the associate of common white men than they would respectable colored men. The white people don't want them, and the black people laugh at them. One of these prominent lily whites was married to a white car conductor several years ago, but some how or other her parents had the proceedings annulled. This individual is one of the leading lily whites in the community, and there are several Negro men going wild over her. The Kingdom has not made its appearance at Chase's theater as yet. The manager is on the lookout, and when the members show up the manager will place a brand on them that will not come off. If these colored female teachers in the schools who are hiding their identity in the public streets or sailing under false colors they will be dis-missed. Just what this lily white organization means by The Kingdom The Bee is at a loss to know. Well The Kingdom will go out of business very soon. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. A Successful Meeting. The Local Business League met in the Y. M. C. A. building Thursday night, January 17. The meeting was well attended by the best known business men and women of the city. Plans for establishing a hand laundry, a department store and a bank were enthusiastically discussed. The present working members of the League were made captains and instructed to form auxiliaries to the main body. By this method they hope to double their membership by the February monthly meeting. President Dan Freeman and the secretary, Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, are determined to infuse new life into the League, and before the end of the year make these monthly meetings responsible for some new venture in the business life of Washington. Washington is in much need of a business stimulus, and The Bee feels sure that with such enterprising persons as the League now has at its head success will crown their efforts. A well stocked and a well regulated department store. A savings bank. A first-class hand laundry. Mr. James C. Waters, Jr., made society-seditor for the White House.

Hampton, Va., January 16 The new Hampton Institute Y. M. C. A. building, known as Clarke Hall, will be dedicated on February 2, 1913, at the time of the Founder's Day celebration. The dedication address will be delivered by Dr. William J. Schieffelin, of New York City, who is a trustee of Hampton Institute. The Y. M. C. A. building, designed by Ludlow & Peabody, architect-with offices in New York City, and built for the most part by Hampton Institute tradesmen, is a two-story brick structure seventy feet wide by forty-five deep, exclusive of two verandas and a terrace at the rear. On the ground floor there are the loggia flanked by two offices; a large central hall at the northeast end of which there is a room for games, and at the southwest end a writing room containing a large fireplace faced with pressed-brick. On the second floor there will be found several rooms suitable for Double study classes, and offices and a good-sized auditorium. This floor plan is so arranged that the auditorium and class rooms can be thrown open for large gatherings. There is also a gallery around three sides on the auditorium. The front view of Clarke Hall is simple, but attractive. The shafts of the six columns at the loggia entrance are formed of especially molded brick with bases and caps of brown stone. The second story contains French windows with wrought iron balconies. The building is conspicuous for the tree use of the flat or segmental arch. Over the loggia entrance is a terrace panel with the inscription "Clarke Hall." The roof of the main building is covered with first quality sea-green slates. The interior of the Y. M. C. A building is unified in chestnut with a wax finish. The furnishings throughout will be simple, but substantial. Clarke Hall will be a social center for the boys of Hampton Institute. About $33,000 will be spent for the building and equipment, including furniture, pictures, books and other necessary articles for a well-organized Y. M. C. A. and student recreation center. The Hampton Institute Y. M. C. A building has been made possible by the gift of $30,000 by Mrs. Charles S. Clarke, of New York, as a memorial to her husband. Dr. Frissell has said the Hampton Institute Y. M. C. A. "Of the 500 young men 350 are members of the Young Men's Christian Association.

The Bee Would Like to Know Why there are to be so many colored inaugural balls. How many will attend the reception of the White House employes next month. Why Major Arthur Brooks is so popular with his friends. Why Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson didn't accompany his friend, Ben Davis, to Cuba. If Col. Johnson will write a few of his Phillies of the Atlanta Independent. About what time will Attorney R. R. Horner file his application for the recordership. If Rev. Waldron wouldn't prefer the Haitian mission. If the people of the Shiloh Baptist Church have been convinced as to their pastor's political end. Maple Sugar Trees. Within its wide range the sugar maple appears as a predominant tree only in the New England states, New York, southern Canada, northern and western Pennsylvania and in parts of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. In the southern Appalachians it occurs in scattered bodies where climate conditions are similar to those of the north. In the extreme northern part of New York state and the adjacent district of Quebec the forest growth is often almost pure maple, and even considerably farther south, where beech and birch become associate trees, the sugar maple holds its own as the dominant species. In northern Pennsylvania at an altitude of over 1,000 feet the mixture is much the same as it is in New York. In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois a similar condition is found. But as the hilly country disappears the maple retreats to the richer and damper soils, leaving great areas to the oaks and chestnuts.-Bulletin of the Department of Agriculture. The Fascinating "Danzen." The "danzon," which is the universal Cuban dance, is the oldest, most inscribable of dances, at first the least inviting, at last the most insidiously fascinating. Long before turkies troted or bunnies hugged in our land, in Havana they walked through dances. But you can dance the "danzon" all night on three feet square of floor. A crowded ballroom is almost motionless; a few steps, a queer shiver that runs down the body, a rest, then a few steps again—so hundreds of couples go on for hours. It would be inexplicable but for the music, the muscle that seems Mideous at first, but ends by pulsating your very blood with some strange magic. It seems forever losing its rhythm, dropping its beats, while at times the barbaric rattling and din of crashing gourds wholly drowns the monotonous melody. There is very little that seems Spanish in the "danzon" music; it hints rather at Africa and transplanted voodoo rites in the Cuban forests.—Morton茄。 A. Wesley Ancestor: It is said that Charles Wesley was sometimes easily annoyed, and on one occasion at a conference he became so irritated at the prolix remarks of a speaker that he said to his brother: "Stop that man's speaking. Let us attend to business." But the offender was relating his religious experience, and, though it was at so great a length, John Wesley evidently thought that no one had a right to interfere with it. He was therefore allowed to continue, but the moment came when Charles could contain himself no longer. "Unless he stops," he whispered to John, "I'll leave the conference." By this time John was enjoying the man's simple story, and he only turned and whispered to some one altting near: "Reach Charles his hat." Only Truth Abides Was it not ordained of old that truth only shall ablide forever? Whatever we may say today or whatever we may write in our books, the stern tribunal of history will review it all, detect falsehood and bring us to judgment before that posterity which shall bless or curse us as we may act now, wisely or otherwise. We may hide in the grave which awaits us all—in vain. We may hope to be concealed there, like the foolish bird that hides its head in the sand, in the vain belief that its body is not seen. Yet even there the quick coming future will decide that it was a hypocritical pretense, under which we sought to conceal the avarice which prompted us to covet-and to seize by force that which was not ours.—Thomas Corwin. The Bloody Meadow Towkesbury, where a famous battle was fought during the War of the Boses, is in Gloucestershire at the confluence of the Avon and the Severn and 180 miles from London. The battle was fought on the bloody meadow just outside the modern town, and, according to local tradition, one night in every year on the anniversary of the conflict the adherents of the white and red roses meet and fight the battle over again—London Mirror.

There will be no present day Allingham to chant the glories of "the wet sheet and the flowing sea and the wind that follows fast to bend the willowy mast." for there are no longer sheets and masts enough to inspire his muse.

When men "tripped anchors" and did it by manning a capstan and bending their backs rhythmically to the job, as the mate sang chanties to them, music counted as an exhilarant, but now steam winches lift the anchors and what would be the sense of singing to a mass of iron and steel—Cleveland Leader. Trees and Lightning. The relation of trees to lightning, as shown by a bulletin of the United States forest service, does not wholly accord with popular beliefs. It is found that trees are the objects most often struck because they are the most numerous of all prominent objects, they offer a short course to the ground, and their spreading branches in the air and roots in the soil present an ideal conductor to the ground. Any kind of tree may be chosen by the lightning, the greatest number in any locality being found among the dominant species. The likelihood of any tree being struck is increased if it is taller than surrounding trees, is isolated, is on nigh land, is deeply rooted and if its condition—as when wet—makes it the best electrical conductor of the vicinity at the time of the flash. Lightning may set a forest fire by igniting the tree or—what is much more likely to be the case—the humus about the base. First Recorded Alimony An Egyptian mummy now on exhibition in London was wrapped in papyrus which scholars have found to be covered with inscriptions. Among others is one which indicates that at least one lady of the pharaonic period failed to agree with her life partner. The document is a petition to the proper authorities for justice against a spendthrift and abusive husband. "When I married Herculesides," writes the petitioner, "I brought 200 drachms as a dowry. Besides this, my husband, when he lost his property, found a home in the house of my parents. In spite of this, Herculesides, after he had run through my dower, cursed me, beat me, deprived me of the necessities of life, wickedly deserted me and left me in misery. I pray you to force him to appear before you and to cause him to return to me the dower I gave him increased by half."—New York American. Turks First Banned Tobacco Tobacco was first carried into Turkey by English sailors, and its use was quickly prohibited. As in Russia, a tradition was discovered prohibiting its use by the faithful. Mohammed, it was said, had prophesied that in future ages some of his followers would smoke a herb called tobacco, but these would be unbelievers. Sultan Amurath IV. strictly prohibited its use. Search was made, for smokers. Tobacco pipes were driven through their cheeks, and rolls of tobacco hung as collars around their necks. Thus arrayed they were mounted on asses, facing the tall, and driven through the streets as a warning to lusters after tobacco to be hanged.—New York Sun. Euphemisms For Death. "Decense" is now a regular form of word for death. But it began as a gentle euphemism, "decessus" (departure) seeming much less harsh to the Romans than "mors." All languages abound in euphemisms of the kind, which go back to a superstitious reluctance to mention death plainly that gradually passed into a kindly desire to soften the idea. "Passed away," "departed." "gone." "expire" (breathe out), "no more." "demise" and even "the late" are expressions of this nature. Most striking of all is the Roman euphemism for "he is dead," "vixit" (he has lived). A Son to Her Conscience Hub (pier a night out)—I feel like the two not.

Mirae NOT amy CON tee tee eae eee me the time will soon come when whit people will ridiciile their own folly in many States in this Union legis latures have introduced measure: prohibiting white and colored peo ple from marrying. The colorec people don’t persue white people it is the white man who persues out colored women, even to houses o prostitution. If some of our legis lative moralists will visit our rec light districts and make an inspec. tion of some of the massive anc extravagantly furnished houses the} will be readily convinced that these houses are not furnished or sup- ported from money these mistresses get from colored men. Houses con- ducted for the exclusive accommo- dation of white men, Negroes can- not enter, so that it will be seen that these colored demimonds are sup- ported by white men, and rich ones at that, and most of them are from the South. Occasionally some fool Negro like Jack Johnson will take it into his head to marry a white woman, and then the country be- comes demoralized and whole leyis- lation against the Negro race is threatened. If The Bee was dis- posed to do so, it could point out the escapades of a distinguished white Southerner who frequents the red light district and is a liberal patron of a colored house. Why should these unnecessary attacks be made against the entire colored race? The Bee will admit that there are a few colored men and and mostly from the South, who have become intoxicated from the effect of the white fever. The Northern Negro, while he may not be as pminercialy aggressive as the Southern Negro, to a great ex- tent respect their women. Many colored men don’t secm to have that high regard and respect. for their women as white men. The Editor of The Beeshas never, since his birth, and since he has been able to distinguish right from wrong, seen a white woman that he regards superior to his own woman. In the colored race, there are women as white as snow flakes, as charm- ing and as fascinating as the setting’ sun in spring time. There are many whose charms are as eriticing as) the song of the sirene, and whose eyes are as electrifying as the evening star. ‘To the eyes of The Bee Negro women cannot be sur- passed in beauty, color, refinement, culture or education, e Just why it is that some white nien are so prejudiced against the race. ‘The refined and educated white man or woman forgets his or her color. He or she knows that a,colored man or woman with any sense at all will not go any fur- ther than he or she is invited. If the man by force defiles the honor of a woman, white or black, the Jaw will handle him. *" Some white ieople make others look rediculous hy their own jolly. The sensible white man or woman takes life philosophically. The Ne- gro will not embrace many social opportunities offered him. The race need not lose any sleep over these legislative miscegenafion pro- hibitory laws. The time will come whén the black man will laugh at the folly of the white man, because it is futile. “Ethiopia will stretch forth. her hand again unto God,” and then the black man will take his ‘first place in history. It is surely coming, and white man may as well be prepared to meet it. - . wicca cues: goes Lapa Seeley z\ news item, relerring to a ‘recent meeting of the National Independent Political League colored. of this city, alleges that Mr. R. R.-Horner made a speech criticising Bishop Walters for meddling in District affairs. The assumption is that Bishop Wal- ters’ endorsement of Mr, Under- down for chairman of the sub- committee on public comfort for the inauguration—a segregated affair—is the cause of Mr. Hor- ner’s criticism of the Bishop When a man gets into politics and to a place of advantage, his influence is never confined to some pent-up Utica. He is con- stantly being importuned by friends and co-laborers _ here, there and everywhere, for aid an¢ assistance. If he refuses he is set down as a selfish person who labors but for himself. If he ac- cedes to their wishes he is criti- cised as a meddler. Taking either horn of the dilemma he falls heir to criticism. But the average man in politics, the one who builds for the future, believes he has more to lose in being known as a selfish man in politics than in being considered a meddler, i.e, one who helps wherever he can, regardless of municipal or state boundaries. When Mr. Hor- ner espoused the Bull Moase party, he did not confine his ef- forts to the District of Columbia alone. He went wherever he was sent or wherever he could get, and he assunied he had a right to do this. And having been a Bull Mooser we fail to see what differ- ence it is to him how far Bishop Walters extends his zone of ac- tivity with Negro Democrats. Bishop Walters has permitted the impression to go out that he willbe the black Warrick with the incoming national adminis- tration, and, whether he will or not, he doubtless felt it was a part of wisdom to win in the first con- test, which, was the landing of Underdown, The alleged criti- cism of Bishop Walters for med- dling in District affairs, by Mr. Horner, only serves to show that there are warring factions among the so-called Negro Democrats, and the contest for office and van- tage point promises to be warm and heated. As the so-called Ne- gro Democrats of the District are ~ voteless contingent, and as Bishop Walters is a voter with a voting cliental. it is reasonable to assume that, as it has always been, the Wistrict men will be ig- nored, In politics they seldom recognize a voteless itinpent INTERM “RRIAGES. recently on interinarriages be- tween the white and black races. In both we took strong rounds against them. Not because ave believe a man should be restrict- ed by law as to whom he-can se- Ject as a fife partner, but because we believe, for the best interests of the race, intermarriages ought to be discouraged. As a rule in- termarriages between whites and blacks occur most _ frequently among the denizens of the under- world. ‘The marriage of Jack Johnson and Lucilé Cameron was a notorious instance. Predicated upon this marriage, a member of the Ohio Legislature has intro- duced a Bill to prohibit by law, marriages between whites and blacks in that State. In our opin- ion, and we have a perfect right to express that opinion, an in- termarriage becomes embarrass- ing and retarding to. both the con- tracting parties. We can «cite many instances to justify this opinion. For instance. we have always believed that Wilberforce University, at Wilberforce, Ohio, ‘could make more satisfactory ad- vancement had it a president whose wife was one of his own race. In effect, the fact that the president of that old institution of the African Methodist Episco* pal Church has a white wife sets A questionable example for the colored male students there. In effect, the colored male students there are set an example which may have the tendency of induc- ing them to place a low estimate on the women of their race, and inspire them to, imitate the ac- tion of their president. In effect, it may have the tendency to dis- courage the Colored female stu- dents of that_ institution. And this too in spite of the fact that the president's wife, in every way, is his equal. Tt were better for the present and future of Wilberforce Uni- versity if it had a president whe had not become a convert to in. termarriage between whites and blacks. If the Ohio Legislature went farther and withheld the usual annual appropriation for that institution until the exam- ple resigned it would be just as consistent as passing a Dill re- stricting marriages to men and women of the same race. No one man has a right to impede the progress of a great colored insti- tution of learning by advocating a separation in speech and prac- ticing the doctrine of social equality- by intermarriage. The ‘position of Wilherforce’< nreci- dent is most inconsistant, to say the least. The president of that institution should, ‘by all means, if a Negro, be a man“Who prac- tices what he preaches—one who inspires high estimate of the wo- men of his own race by having taken one of them for a wife. Al ‘the same time, while we are un- alterably opposed to intermar- riages, we are just sas _unalter- ably opposed to the enactment of any statute, state or national, prohibiting them, FALSE TO HIS RACE. When a Negro whose past is not commendable, lifts himself over into any party's ranks immediately Victory perches on the banner of that party, aspires for office, he will stoop to anything. “He ceases to be a Negro, spelled with a capital N, and becomes a “nigger,” and we use that term advisedly, Out in Kansas where the blessings of mixed schools, with their attend- ent equal opportunities for the Ne- gro boy and girl, made jim-crow- ism an“unthought’ of proposition untit Mr. W, T.

Can a man be honest, fair and just at the head of a particular department in our schools who suggests to officials to take an examination? Perhaps this par- ticular head will find his own head in a basket like some others.

Why Tuesday I saw a couple ‘of mulatto broilers— and they looked good, too—strolling down Pennsy Avenue dressed just like Connecticut Avenue blue bloods, each leading a bull terrier. “There,” said I, to myself, said I, “there is another bundle ‘of prima facia evidence that old Mr. Hamilton Ham is progress- ing.” But the dope that proves my first statement is that sawed-off, ham- mered down bunch of cocoanut brown, down in New York’s San Juan Hill directory as Gilchrist Stewart. You know when this nosing committee what's looking into campaign expen- ses called J. Pierpont Morgan, he game over, “here with 2 string of $62,000 lawyers. All the lawyers did was to sit there for about thirty min- utes or so, look and breath, and just for that Pierpont tossed them over $62,000 to divide up among them for one day’s rations of cholocate bon- bons and highballs About _ three weeks or so later, just to lend color to the affair, Mose Clapp, sent a little violet-scented note over to Gil- christ Stewart, asking him, at his convenience, to run over here on a slow freight and tell the committee some of those romances he had been handing out at Chicago and way sta- tions. Well, just to be as near like Pierpont as possible, Gill came. over with an assortment’ of off-colored lawyers. He brought a four-eyed lady-killer over with him from New York, who goes under the alias of John William Smith 1 don't know how his parents overlooked hanging the Hefiry on too. You know most of these black Smiths are catalogued as John Henry William Smith. Well Smith was Gill's prize lawyer—one of those real things they use in New York to keep the jail doors locked from the outside. Then just as soon as Gill hit the town, so an unruly deponeth says, he ‘veneered — Bill Houston all aver with a lot of three- time talk to the effect ‘that he, Bill, [was a Standard ‘ile attorney on waiting orders.

After conconing Bill to a fare-you well, Gill wired a tall fellow out in Chicago, who is on the Eighth Regiment's roster a> Maj.

By and by, however, Gill ~hook off his creepy feeling, and finally got his romancer to working.

It_was so much bf an over-supply that, the committee asked him’ if he didn't"want to revise some of _ his atatements.

Thanks. The Fairmont Heights. M. E. Church is progressing nicely under the pastorate of Rev. O. C. Sprague. He is preaching splendid sermons. He is now preaching nothing but Christ and Him crucified.

By request the Old Folks' Concert, given at the Presbyterian Church, will be repeated at the Public Hall February 5 for the joint benefit of the Fairmont Heights School and said church. Mrs. H. B.

The members of the firm are: Dr. W. W. Jones, M. D., president: James F. Armstrong, secretary; M. Charity, treasurer; Charles E. Payne, business manager. and M. L. A. Gilmore. Mr. C. L.

It will always be the place "where everybody meets everybody else." The attendance at Mt. Zion M. E. Church was unusually large on Sunday morning, at which time the congregation was surprised at the conclusion of the eloquent discourse of the pastor, who read a statement denying that any chicagore had been practice to his knowledge in the election of the new recording steward, as had been rumored by some persons who were members of the Fourth Quarterly Conference of recent date, whose privilege it was to vote and nominate their choice. After further explaining fully to the congregation, Mr. William Ballard, the elected recording steward, was introduced and those present voted their approval and support. Rev. Harper is now finishing his fourth year, with great success, and it is expected that he will be reappointed as requested by the last Conference. Death of Mrs. Lelia Mickens.

Bishop, Walters, Present Last Monday evening a coterie of Negro Democrats met in their rooms at the corner of U and Eleventh Streets. Those who met, it is said, were the Bishop Walters faction. This is indicated by the fact that the Bishop was present. The meeting, at least what was said and done, was not for public consumption. It was secret. From what has leaked out, the impression is given that the Walters faction, anticipating a fight from the Waldron-Horner side, had Bishop Walters assemble his braves to map out a plan of campaign, and determine upon means to have the Waldron-Horner side completely ignored All who attended were nearly as mum as the proverbial oyster, as to what plans were adopted, if any. The consensus of opinion, in political circles, is that Rev. Waldron and his allies do not propose to yield without a struggle. In fact, the opinion, from what can be gleaned, prevails that the fight from this on between the two factions will be a hot one, no quarters given and none asked. The rumor is that Bishop Walters insists that to be a Negro Democrat you must wear the Walters' brand, and the Waldron-Horner faction, it is alleged, will insist that to be recognized as a Negro Democrat it must not be imperative that one wear the Walters' brand. From all that can be gathered, there is to be a distinct allignment of the two factions for offensive and defensive operations. It is also made clear, from what has leaked out, that Bishop Walters, backed by his allies, will insist on dictating appointments in the District the same as in the outside country, and that only those who are allied with that faction will be considered genuine. On the other hand, it is said, that Rev. Waldron and his friends, in and out of Washington, do not propose to be thus, in effect, branded as spurious, and insist that they were just as necessary to Democratic victory as the Walters crowd, and really contributed more at less cost in dollars to the party. The opinion prevails that within the next few days the Waldron faction will hold a meeting and determine upon a way to combat the aggressive campaign of the other side. Several of the local Negro Democrats have hesitated to line up with either faction, but it is said the fight is becoming so acute that it will be necessary for AETIC MEET AT CONVENTION HALL WEEK OF FEBRUARY 28 Day of the Festival Season Elastic Athletic Association, Public Schools Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association. as follows will be represented: of New York, K.

Middle-of-the-road Negro Democrats, it is reported from both sides, will come in for just as much opposition from both sides as those in the camp of either side. From all accounts, it's a merry war, and a war to the finish. A. Walters factionist insists that their side will win. 'Another indication that Bishop Walters proposes to be the distributor and dictator is that he is to come to Washington and live. This would bear out the contention of the Waldron-Horner faction that the Bishop is or will assume charge of District matters as well as outside matters. The Bishop, it is related, believes the way to do a thing best is to do it yourself, so he will move here and be on the ground-to see that all other factions are barred from the pie counter.

DELANEY He Claims to Hold Capitol Graft Confession. Chief Factory Inspector Claims Contractor Sanderson Left Document In His Care and Hints at New Culprits. Governor Tener dismissed from office John C. Delaney, the Pennsylvania state factory inspector, "for the good of the service." Captain Delaney has for several weeks past been under charges of lax enforcement of the state factory laws. Last Friday he gave an interview to a Philadelphia newspaper, in which he said he had in his possession an alleged "confession" made by John H. Sanderson, the state capitol contractor, who was convicted of fraud and died pending his appeal. In this alleged "confession," Delaney, said, Sanderson declared that the real culprits in the capitol scandal never had been apprehended nor had their names ever been mentioned in the course of the investigation. Captain Delaney also said that the "confession" was locked in a safe, and its contents never would be revealed by him. Mr. Sanderson's widow, now a resident of New York, Captain Delaney added, was the only person who might ever reveal the secret of the hidden paper. She, he said, might do go at some future time in order to vindicate her husband's memory. Pennypacker is the only one to date who can be sure that the breath of suspicion will not demand an explanation, for he is the only one in connection with the gigantic and criminal grab who, Delaney says, "is as free from any part in the division of the spoils as a newborn babe." The true reason for the astounding revelation of Delaney that he has such a confession will be searched for by Attorney General Bell, who will confer with Governor Tener. Captain Delaney will be present at this conference and will be asked who are the "bigger men" named in the confession and never brought to justice. Delaney has said that he was offered $100,000 for this confession, and that he refused it; that he will not make it public under any consideration unless the widow of Sanderson says that she is will that he should do so. Why Delaney should refuse $100,000 for the paper and now stir up the disquieting suspicions it will be the duty of public officials to point out. It is expected that the governor will issue a statement after the conference with Bell and Delaney. Politicians profess to see in the remarkable announcement of the chief factory inspector an effort on his part to strengthen his position in Harrisburg, where he must eventually meet the charges of child labor associations, the Central Labor Union, the State Federation of Labor and the Consumers' League, that he has not taken cognizance of numerous infractions of the state factory laws. Delaney's term expires in May. His position carries with it a salary of $5000 a year. Former Governor Pennypacker is very anxious that Delaney should turn over the confession to the attorney general; but there is considerable doubt in the minds of lawyers that he can be made to do so. Even if the statute of limitations has expired, if any politicians are connected with the capitol scandal they can be driven from public life by the publicity given them. Delaney does not propose to willingly part with this dynamite-laden document. "No man will ever know its entire contents while I have anything to do with it," he said, "or unless Mrs. Sanderson would desire its publication. Even then I am not sure that I would let it out of my possession. All that I will say is that the big men who were guilty escaped." "Will you make it public if you leave the hill?" he was asked. "I don't expect to leave the hill." "But suppose you do?" "I would not give it out." It was reported in Harrisburg that Tener would ask for Delaney's resignation, but the governor declined to state what action he might contemplate regarding the chief factory inspector. His advice to Delaney is to give the paper up. Former State Treasurer William H. Berry does not doubt that Captain Delaney has the confession. "I have always been perfectly satisfied," he said, "that the men who were the chief beneficiaries of the capitol contract manipulation were not the men hailed into court. I found definite traces that some prominent men, not officially identified with the administration, but influential in the Republican organization, had the bigger finger in the pie. I wanted Mr. Scarlett, the state's attorney, to go after them when I discovered the traces on the books to which I refer. I was convinced later that the state's probe would have been sufficient." Mr. Berry declines to name the men whom he says were involved in the conspiracy, but he did say: "They were the brains of the conspiracy; they undoubtedly laid the plan for this enormous rake-off in the construction of the state capitol." 1s First Democratic Governor of New Hampshire In 30 Years. A. TAFT DISTRUSTS HAGUE TRIBUNAL President Taft is willing to submit to arbitration the questions at issue between Great Britain and the United States over the Panama canal tolls, but he does not favor arbitration by The Hague tribunal. This fact became known upon the president's return to Washington from New York. Although he has not yet given the matter of a tribunal much thought, the president probably would prefer a special board of arbitration composed of a nequal number of citizens of the United States and Great Britain. Such was to be the composition of the arbitral court he proposed to settle any vital question arising between nations when he spoke in behalf of the arbitration treaties.

Five men were fatally burned by the explosion of a pocket of gas in the Oxford mine at Scranton, Pa., one of them dying within an hour.

In view of the fifty-seven varieties of weather Columbia county, Pa., has experienced recently, it is not surprising that Cameron Theal, living above Nescopeck, reported that he killed a four-foot copperhead snake on the snow.

Pittsburg, Pa., January 26. Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, of Washington City, arrived here Saturday evening and is stopping at the Hotel Royal, Messrs. Greer & Gleason proprietors. Mr. Jones is the center of much attraction and quite a bit of comment is indulged in on account of his mysterious movements and his Chesterfieldian carriage. He talks little. He walked down Wyle Avenue Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock with two white men, one of whom was well known at the detective office, and as the lawyer wore a silk hat, many thought he was about to be cared for by the watchful guardians of the law, but it turned out that Lawyer Jones was simply a hale fellow, and what these plain clothes men wanted was not learned. Mr. Jones was the guest of honor at an informal supper in his honor Sunday evening at the Hotel Royal and made a speech that will ever be remembered. Your correspondent had never met the lawyer before, but for wit, logic, philosophy and sound sense in the way of showing the Negroes of this city the importance of ing up and making good for themselves he scored a hit. Lawyer Jones is well known by many of the men of this city, and his presence has been a source of information. Mr. Greer, one of the proprietors of the hotel at which the Washington lawyer is stopping, is from Essex County, Virginia. He is a young man about 25 years of age and by shrewd and careful manipulation he has one of the best hotels here and is considered one of the best and most prosperous in the smoky city. Mr. Greer has quite a little property and a good bank account. He and his partner are giving the Negro an object lesson as to how to run a hotel. The lawyer does not forget faces. It is said that while waiting at the corner of Logan Street and Wyle Avenue on purpose, he collected quite a little sum from his old clients from Washington. BABY WYCHE PASSES AWAY. The funeral services over all that was mortal of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Wyche was held at the home of her parents. 325 V Street Northwest. Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. In spite of the rain, friends and relatives were present to pay respects to the once promising flower which was cut down so soon in life by the ruthless hand of fate. Beautiful floral gifts covered the casket. Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, and Rev. W. H. Brooks of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, conducted the services. Resolutions were read by Mr. Warren N. McDonald, from the board of trustees of John Wesley Church, offering condolences and sympathy to the bereaved family. Little Wilhelmina Olivette Wyche was stricken Saturday, January 19, with pneumonia and continued to grow worse until Wednesday morning, when she closed her eyes to this earth and its sorrows. She was 5 months old, having been born August 14, 1912. She leaves besides her parents two little sisters to mourn her loss. Dr. G. M. Oliver, pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, continues quite ill with la gripppe. Revival services will begin at John Wesley Church Sunday and continue throughout the month. Mrs. Nannie Dick is visiting friends and relatives in Charlotte, N. C. Death of Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Anna Thomas, a long-life resident of this city and from one of the leading families, died at her residence, 1113 I Street, this week and was buried last Tuesday afternoon. Before her marriage to the late Wm. H. Thomas, she was a Miss Tilghman, the sister of Misses Amelia and Ruth Tilghman. Mrs. Thomas was an active member of a large number of benevolent associations and highly thought of by them. She leaves a daughter and two sisters. DEATH OF MRS. BENJAMIN. The Lord Calls Me; Don't Worry. New York City, January 22. Mrs. Pearl H. Benjamin, the wife of James Benjamin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Johnson, of 24 West 134th Street, New York City, died January 20 at her late home, 19 West 137th Street and was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery. She leaves a mother, father, sister, brother and a husband. They all were devoted to her. Her last words were: "Mother, father, husband, sister and brother, don't worry; the Lord calls me and I must answer His call." Confirmation of Deaf Mutes. Sunday evening last several deaf mutes were confirmed by Bishop Harding at Calvary Chapel, Eleventh and G Streets Northwest, the Rev. Mr. Bennett, vicar.

Last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock confirmation service was held at St. Luke's Church. It was very impressive and was largely attended by churchmen. The rendition of music by the choir under the direction of Mr. Scott Mayo, director, was of the highest order. This choir is very efficient and should be heard to be appreciated. On the evening of March 4 there will be tendered a banquet to Bishop Alexander Walters and other distinguished visitors.

Ferguson, chairman, 1420 'Pierce Place, Washington, D. C. There has been some agitation concerning the enactment of a "Jim Crow" law in this state. I can see no reason for the enactment of such a law, and would regret that a bill of that character should even be introduced.

THE MOLLIE GROVES MINING AND MILLING COMPANY begs to announce to the public that they are closing out the last block of stock in their copper mines located in Grand County, Colorado, not far from Denver, in the vicinity of the famous Cripple Creek Mines, the Happy Dream Mines, and the Leadville Mines, each of which has long since enriched the country with its mineral resources. The Mollie Groves Mines embraces 114 acres of pure mineral and contain gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum and other products of wonderful resources. The Mine was incorporated March 4th, 1909, under the laws of the State of Colorado, and a record of the corporation, as well as the deed transferring the property to said corporation known as the Mollie Groves Mining and Milling Co., can be found with the Recorder of Deeds, whose office is Sulphur Springs, Grand County, Colorado. Mr. O. M. Groves, the former owner and present manager, and Mr. T. W. Lott, General Agt., are in the city for the purpose of selling the last block of stock, consisting of 8,000 shares at $1.00 per share. The Mine is being operated already. There is $4,000,000 worth of ore on the dump waiting to be smelted and sent to the market. With the sale of the 8,000 shares of stock, a smelter that is already built and contracted for, will be placed in position by March 1st, at which time the sale of stock will end, and those already holding stock will receive a liberal dividend in addition to the increase in their shares of stock from $1.00 per share to $5.00 per share. A local Mollie Groves Mining and Milling League has been organized with the following well known persons as officers (each one being a large stockholder himself in the Co.): W. Bishop Johnson, Pres.; W. H. Jernagin, Vice Pres.; Alfred W. Adams, Sec'y; Spencer Adams, Treas.; with offices at 818 3d St. N. W., Washington, D. C., where any additional information may be given.

We will be glad to have anybody act as agent, giving their whole or spare time, to call at the office and make arrangements.
