Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Lead- ing Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE ALFREDBONITACOSEY A Brilliant Orator and Lawyer—Held Positions by Merit and Responsi-corder of Deeds for the District of bility—Strongly Backed for Re-Columbia. In a recent issue The Bee called the attention of the public to Alfred Bonito Cosey, Esq., of Newark, N. J. at which time it spoke of him as being among the stanchest supporters of President Woodrow Wilson, during the last presidential campaign. At that time, as then stated, The Bee was not advised that he was a candidate for any political office. Since then, however, definite information has come to it that he is being urged by his many friends and political associates for the position of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, all of whom sincerely believe that his untiring, faithful and loyal services to the Democratic cause, before and during said campaign, taken together with his high character and general ability entitle him to the preferment suggested. A short sketch of the career of this energetic, enterprising, public-spirited, progressive young man may not, in this connection, be out of place. M. Cosey first saw the light of day on the 4th of July, 1863, in the Township of Marlboro, State of Maryland. He was but an infant when his parents moved to Washington, D. C., wherein he was reared and received his early education in the public schools. When a mere boy, he was of a self-reliant, independent disposition, for he started in to assist in his own support by selling newspapers before and after school. He was quick to see and learn; early exhibited marked natural ability, and gave striking evidence of possessing those powers of organization and leadership which, in later life, have so signally distinguished him and made him a dominant factor in politics. Being financially unable to continue at school, while not yet of age he decided to and did, in 1879, enlist in the United States Navy, first serving on the U. S. S. Marion until 1882; afterwards he was transferred to the U. S. S. Albatross, with which he remained until 1884, when he was honorably discharged. During said enlistment Nazi-self-education parts Europe, Africa, South America, and the West Indies, with the result of coming out of the service with a broader mind, largely increased knowledge, wider experience, and withal as the fortunate beneficiary of that rigid discipline which it is the peculiar province of the Navy to give. After leaving the Navy and bent on further educating himself, he engaged himself, in order to secure means for such purpose, variously as follows in the Pullman Palace Car service; as silverman on the Providence line steamers; as head waiter, etc. In all these several positions he was noted for his mental alertness, activity, industry and courtesy, as well as his idulity to duty, which qualities frequently secured him promotions. By the exercise of careful economy and prudence, having sufficient means in hand, he entered a New York business college, and therecompleted a course in bookkeeping, shorthand and typewriting; also, at the same time, pursuing studies along the higher lines of education, with the result that he was now well equipped along business and educational lines for the world's work. In 1894 he was appointed Deputy Sheriff in Hudson County, New Jersey. His services as such officer were so satisfactory to the sheriff that in 1805 he was appointed Deputy Warden of the jail of the same county. He was the first of his race to hold such office of honor and trust in the State, and in this post he proved himself a most careful, honest and courageous official, as well as a man of ability, it being a part of his duty to pass on the validity of commitments and releases of prisoners, which last mentioned duty he ever performed to the complete satisfaction of the county and with great credit to himself. His natural vigor, aggressiveness and magnetic personality, combined with his strict integrity and manliness, won for him a host of personal and political friends in the State, among which was ranked the late Vice President Hobart. In 1896, conceiving the idea of studying law, Mr. Cosey resigned the position as warden, came to this city and took and passed the examination for admission into the Law Department of Howard University, graduating therefrom with honor in the class of 1899, and receiving the degree LL.B. In 1900 he was admitted to the bar of New Jersey as an attorney at law; later on, in 1905, he became, in said State, a counselor at law and a master in chancery. He has a large and lucrative practice, is considered one of the best lawyers in the State, and enjoys the respect and confidence of the judges and his associate members of the New Jersey bar: He was married in 1899 to Miss Annie S. Bailey, a citizen of Washington. D. C., and one of Washington's most talented school teachers, she being at the time principal of the Ambush Public School—a position held by her upwards of five years next preceding her marriage to Mr. Cosey. Mr. Cosey's independent spirit and markedly progressive ideas naturally inclined him to the support of principles rather than parties, of measures rather than men; so it is not at all strange, as his political friends and associates see it, that he sought to party—which party, according to his way of thinking, stood valiantly for and strenuously advocated progressive ideas in the conduct of the government. He did effective service as chairman of the National Bureau of Meetings and Speakers in New York City during the recent national campaign. He is also chairman of the State Colored Democratic Committee of New Jersey, and enjoys the confidence and respect of all the leading Democrats of that State. The campaign documents composed by him were always among the best, and were used and circulated among all races. His political speeches were gems of earnestness and logic and appealed at once to the common sense and reason of his hearers, causing them to flock to the support of the candidate of his choice. He is an ardent admirer as well as a warm friend of President Woodrow Wilson, whom he has supported in every campaign by his voice, pen, influence and vote. He declares that President Wilson is the man to put into execution those policies and principles enunciated in the Democratic platform, adopted at Baltimore, that make for the highest and best in government, and that he will surely lend his great powers of mind and heart toward fostering and protecting the rights and interests of all the people. Mr. Cosey's services and qualities as herein set forth would appear to justify his friends in supporting his candidacy for the office in question, and in craving for him that distinctive political recognition which such services and qualities merit. JAMES A COBB, ESQ. One of Mr. Wilson's Competent Prosecutors—Highly Respected by His Chief and Other Officers of the Government. James A. Cobb, Esq., is the first colored man to be appointed in the United States Attorney's office as a prosecutor. Mr. Cobb is regarded by Mr. Wilson, who has been a successful prosecutor since he has held the JAMES A COBB, ESQ. A Competent Assistant United States Attorney. office, one of his most competent officials. Mr. Cobb is an honor to the legal profession and the office he holds. He is a hard worker and a man respected by the judges of all the courts and other court officials as an unassuming official and one that attends strictly to business. His papers are always prepared with care and neatness. A large number of the white leading members of the bar, should there be a change in the office, will ask for his retention. Mr. Wilson has made one of the most successful prosecutors that has ever been in that office. OHIO'S SHAME The Buckeye State Passes a Jim Crow Law Patterned After Georgia's Law. Anti-Intermarriage Bill Will Drive From State Blacks and Whites Already Married—Democrats in Majority Heed Not Negro Remonstrances. Columbus, Ohio, March 8.—The lower branch of the Ohio Legislature passed the bill, last Wednesday, prohibiting intermarriages in this State by a vote of 63 to 33. The bill now goes to the Senate. The Legislature is Democratic, and it is quite likely that the Senate will also pass the bill. The bill is perhaps the meanest ever introduced in a State north of Mason and Dixon line, since it not only makes it a criminal offense for whites and blacks to marry, but goes farther and makes it a felonious offense for whites and blacks already married to live together in this State. If passed by the Senate and becomes a law it will cause the immediate separation and breaking up of many families. President Scarborough, of Wilberforce University, whose wife is white, could not remain in Ohio and live with his wife. The Negroes of the State did their utmost to prevent its passage in the House, but the Democrats being in the majority, paid no attention to their pleadings and remonstrances. The bill is a copy of the Georgia law against intermarriages, and shows, by its passage, how the southern Democratic anti-Negro sentiment is creeping into the North. Negroes living in Ohio never suspected that they would live to see the day when southern race hatred would impinge upon their rights in this manner. They are wondering now what influence have, these so-called Negro Democrats have that such discriminating legislation could be passed in a [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache. The background is dark, and the man's face is clearly visible.] MR. ALFRED BONITO CASEY Of New Jersey. Probably the first Negro appointment to be made by Mr Wilson. A brilliant lawyer and scholar NEGRO DEMOGRACY RECOGNITION OF NEGRO DEMOCRATS. What They Expect to Get—Many Men for a Few Places—Will Negro Democrats, Succeed Negro Republicans?—James A. Ross the Strongest Endorsed Man. There are a number of Negro Democrats in this country, or colored men calling themselves Negro Democrats, who supported the Democratic ticket. There are several places that are held by colored Republicans, that colored Democrats hope to fill. For the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, which generally goes to a Negro Democrat, there are several strong men being urged for the place. Editor James A. Ross, of Buffalo, New York, had charge of the Western Democratic headquarters for Negroes. He is an original Democrat of long standing. He is what you may call a pioneer of colored Democrats. He is being strongly urged for the Recorder of Deeds office for the District of Columbia. All presidents, since the appointment of the late Frederick Douglass, have been appointed to this office. C. H. J. Taylor, of Kansas, was appointed to this office by the late Grover Cleveland. Mathews, of Albany, N. Y., was also appointed by Mr. Cleveland. Monroe Trutter, of Boston, Mass., was also appointed by Mr. Cleveland. H. P. Cheatham, of North Carolina, B. K. Brune, of Mississippi, John C. Daney, of North Carolina, and Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, the present incumbent, were appointed by Ex-President Roosevelt. There are several other candidates for the office, namely, Attorney Alfred B. Casey, of New Jersey, who is said to stand a good chance of being appointed. "Mr. Casey has been badly treated and ostracised by the political enemies of President Wilson on account of his support of Mr. Wilson. Ralph E. Langston is the organizer of the first Wilson and Marshall Colored Democratic Club in the City of New York. Mr. Langston has held several important positions in the State of New York, and because of his support of Mr. Wilson and the organization of a Wilson and Marshall Democratic Club and because he attended the banquet of Bishop Alexander Walters, given by New York Democrats, he was removed by the Anti-Wilson Negro Democrats, known as the Wood faction. False representations were made to Chief Murphy of Tamamany Hall. Mr. R. R. Horner is not a candidate for the office of Recorder of Deeds. He is out of politics and has decided to pursue his practice of law. In conversation with a representative of The Bee he concedes the appointment of Alfred B. Casey, of New Jersey. Messrs. Horner, Hewlett, Stewart and others are members of the National Independent Political League. Mr. Napoleon B. Marshall is a candidate for the Haytian Mission. Mr. Marshall was the national organizer of Negro Democracy. He is a scholar and a polished-gentleman. No Negro will be appointed to succeed Assistant Attorney General W. H. Lewis, who will be relieved of his office April 1. There are no Negro Democratic candidates for his place. There are several candidates for the Register of the Treasury Department and Assistant Register. It is stated that Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma, has a Negro Democratic candidate for that office. Mr. Ralph sistant Registorship of the the Treasury Department. Mr Marshall would be urged for Assistant Attorney General, but he would refuse it if tendered him. It is stated, however, that the Attorney General has no idea of appointing a Negro as the successor of Mr. Lewis. The Attorney General would be inclined to appoint a colored man, but the Democratic South would not permit it. It is not known where the Negro stands, at present, but Editor Ross feels confident that Mr. Wilson will treat the Negro fairly and justly. He has great hopes. There is perfect harmony among the colored Democrats. If they are not recognized, it will not be because of a division among them. WANT RECOGNITION. Negro Democrats Demand That National Colored Democratic League Get Busy—Visit Paid to White House—Representatives Get Letter From Tumulty to McReynolds—Forty Offices Are at Stake—Assistant Attorney Generalship One of Those Sought—District Merr Are on Slate. A fight to retain colored men who shall be Democrats in every one of the forty presidential offices now held by colored Republican office holders has been inaugurated by the National Colored Democratic League. The league will contend for the retention of all patronage now distributed among colored men, and, failing that, that other offices shall be conferred as a substitute for whatever shall be taken away. It will further urge that the progress of the race as a factor in the nation's advancement and as a factor in Democratic politics shall be shown by bestowal of political favors greater than those accorded to colored men under a Republican administration. Lewis' Former Job Sought. The first gun of the National Colored Democratic League will be fired in the hope of winning a victory in the Department of Justice. The league would have a colored man appointed as Assistant Attorney General in the stead of William H. Lewis of Boston, resigned. It is doubtful, it was said today, if a colored man will obtain this appointment. There was a disposition on the part of the present administration to eliminate Assistant Attorney General Lewis from office had his resignation not made necessary any step in that direction. Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York, president; James A. Ross, of Buffalo, N. Y., first vice president, and J. H. Hammond, treasurer, of the organization, were callers at the White House today. They saw Secretary Tumulty and obtained from him a letter to introduce them to Attorney General McReynolds. Later Seek McReynolds. They later proceeded to the Department of Justice. The Attorney General, however, at the time, was at the Cabinet meeting in the White House. The delegation, incidental to the visit to the White House, presented, for consideration of the President, its slate recommending colored candidates for the appointive positions occupied now by colored office holders. This slate did not include recommendations for Assistant Attorney General. N. B. Marshall, of the District of Columbia, is written down for Minister to Haiti. An alternate recommendation for the same post is Jas. L. Curtis, of New York., N. B. Mar District of Columbia, are the names proposed for Assistant United States Attorney. For Deputy Customs Collector. For Deputy Collector of Customs of the port of Georgetown, D. C., J. Milton Waldron and J. H. Harris are alternate suggestions. The rest of the slate reads: For Minister to Liberia—Francis H. Warren, of Detroit, Mich., or J. Frank Wheaton, of New York. For Collector of the Port of New York—R. N. Wood or James L. Curtis, both of New York. For Collector of Internal Revenue at Honolulu, Hawaii—W. F. Powell, of New Jersey, or N. B. Clark, of Virginia. For Consul at Sierra Leone—J. Frank Wheaton, of New York, or Francis H. Warren, of Michigan. Named for Deeds Recorder. Named for Deeds Recorder. No Washington colored candidate is mentioned for the post of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. The names suggested are: Albert B. Casey, of New Jersey, and James A. Ross, of New York. For Assistant District Attorney for the District of Columbia Albert B. Casey, of New Jersey, is the only name proposed. George C. Clement of North Carolina and A. E. Paterson, of Oklahoma, are the two suggested for Registrar of the Treasury. For Assistant Registrar of the Treasury are proposed the names of Peter J. Smith, of Massachusetts and Ralph Langston, of New York. For special assistant district attorney at Boston: Munroe Trotter or E. F. Brown, both of Boston. No Candidates for Consuls. No candidates are suggested for the positions of agents in tick eradication, Agricultural Department, or for Consuls to Puerto Cabello, Ven.; St Thomas, W. L.; St. Etienne, W. L.; St. Pierre, F. W. L.; and Tamatave, Madagascar. The offices, however, are claimed for colored men. The headquarters of the National Colored Democratic League are at 1022 U Street. The declaration is made by the organization that 30 per cent. of the colored vote in the United States was delivered by it to the Democratic ticket at the recent national election. This claim, Bishop Walters declares, is conceded by the National Democratic Committee. The organization has representatives in thirty-two states, with delegates pre-count at the convention. More than 300,000 votes are controlled by the league is another assertion made L. MELENDEZ KING. Attorney L. M. King, in talking to a representative of The Bee, who signed the charges made against the government of the public schools, said, among other things, that he signed the charges against the schools on representations made to him by Mr Daniel Murray. Personally he knows nothing of the charges alleged in the petition that were sent to Congress. All he knows is what was told to him by Mr Daniel Mur- L.

Since Dr Davidson has been at the head of the schools he has done all in his power to conduct the public schools up to a high basis. The entire document has or will be forwarded to the United States Attorney. These alleged charges were signed by Messrs. Daniel Murry, Samuel E. Lacy, James L. Neal and Attorney L. M. King. The school authorities allege that there is no truth in the charges. Attorney King requests The Bee to make the statement that personally he knows nothing about the charges and that he has no personal knowledge of them. A Worthy Promotion. Mr. Oscar A. Ryce, residing at 2254 Twelfth Street Northwest, was promoted on the 7th inst. from a clerkship at $1,000 per annum to $1,200 per annum in the Adjutant General's office, War Department.

By one of the fairy tales of emancipation, this $50 helot arose to be a Minister of the United States, with the rank of brigadier general in the army and of commodore in the navy. He became the friend of King Edward VII, of Bismarck and of Emperor William of Germany and one of the imperial carriages was placed at his disposal in Berlin.

GREATER FIGHT IN NEAR Administration Alleges Ex-President Madero Ordered Guns Turned Upon American Marines If They Attempted to Land. The first serious clash between Mexican federals and Carranzistas is reported to have occurred at Redta. In the state of Coahuilla, about midway between Monterey and Monclova. The engagement lasted four hours, the rebels offering stubborn resistance to the federals. The losses, as reported from government sources, included twenty-six federals killed and eleven wounded and thirty-three rebels killed. The rebel forces have fallen back on Bajan, thirty miles to the north. Another engagement is looked for soon, as three columns of the regular army and 2000 adherents of Pascual Orozco are closing in on Venustiano Carranza, the rebel governor of Cohuila. A decisive battle is expected near Monclova, unless Carranza manages to escape over the border. In order to prevent clashes between rebels and the American troops, the war department proposes to send 6000 federals to occupy the border towns in Sonora. To this end it is probable that the government will ask the administration at Washington to permit the passage of troops through American territory. Dr. Rafael Cepeda, former governor of the state of San Luis Potosi, was officially accused by the government of looting the bank of the city of San Luis Potosi of 10,000 pesos, and also of disposing of government property for the purpose of raising funds for the revolution. The administration declares that Cepeda is acting in connivance with Carranza. The rebel forces commanded by Francisco Pachico, Fabrian Padilla and Gregorio Puldo, three Zapata leaders, threatened to resume their old tactics because one of their peace messengers had been arrested. They had advised the government of their desire to surrender and had sent envoys to enter into negotiations. One of the envoys was taken into custody by Luis Lascuraln, prefect of Xechimilco, in the federal district, who was suspicious of the messenger's mission. The federal authorities ordered the prefect to release the messenger and to make efforts to atone for his act and to placate the Zapata followers. A plan is afoot to reorganize the army, increasing its strength to 100,000 men, and it is also proposed to place an order for 150 cannon in France. It was announced that Provisional President Huerta is considering the advisability of making public the official correspondence of the closing days of the Madero administration, with the object of showing that the late president made strenuous efforts to incite anti-American sentiment throughout the republic. Among the alleged orders given by Madero during the last week of his rule is one which directed the officers of the Mexican gunboats lying in the port of Vera Cruz to "fire immediately upon the American marines if an attempt is made to land forces" from the United States war vessels, "paying no regard to the expressed purpose of the American naval commanders merely to protect foreigners." The execution of such an order would have meant the suicide of the Mexican naval forces, as a single shell from the battleship Georgia, then lying only 200 yards distant, would have been sufficient to destroy the Mexican gunboats. WHISKY SOON KILLS CHILD Little One Finds Half a Pint and Drinks It All. Elizabeth Kelley, the six-year-old daughter of John Kelly, of Mount Cua, near Wilmington, Del., died from the effect of drinking half a pint of whisky. The child found the liquor in a bottle lying on a bureau and swallowed all of it at one time. When her mother found her she was unconscious, and the empty bottle beside her told the cause of the child's illness. Dr. John Ball worked over the child for several hours and finally revived her, but later she collapsed and expired. Coroner Spring is making an investigation of the case. KILS Self Before Family. Andrew Butcher, constable of Banks township and prominent in Carbon county politics, committed suicide in the presence of his wife and their four children at his home in Parkview, near Hazleton, Pa., by shooting through the brain.

President Wilson has taken under consideration economy of administration and so-called class legislation. Representative Fitzgerald, chairman of the house appropriations committee, discussing with the president the question of appropriations for the coming extra session, recalled that Mr. Taft had vetoed the sundry civil bill because of provisions to prevent the government from using a certain sum to enforce the Sherman law against labor unions or farmers' organizations. President Wilson took a firm position, it was said, behind Mr. Fitzgerald for rigid economy. It is known that he looked apprehensively from Trenton at the appropriations of the last congress. Mr. Wilson had before him in New Jersey a situation where labor organizations of the state, prompted by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, objected vigorously to one of his "seven sisters" anti-trust laws, on the ground that it restricted labor unions from making agreements with corporations or individuals as to wages, hours, etc. They suggested that the bill be amended, but Mr. Wilson insisted that such an amendment would be class legislation, forbidden under the New Jersey constitution. He contended, too, that New Jersey courts had not and could not include labor unions within the scope of corporation regulations. Federal legislation, he told the labor leaders, might be different. Some of the president's friends think that if the provisions exempting labor unions from prosecution were included in the sundry civil bill again Mr. Wilson would be inclined to urge their elimination, preferring to postpone the enunciation of his policy until a revision of the Sherman antitrust law was attempted. The president is known to be in favor of strengthening the Sherman anti-trust law so that its jurisdiction may be explicitly understood. Though office-seekers have been told to address themselves to the heads of the various departments, the members of the cabinet will act merely as sifters of the mass of applicants and their decisions will not be final. Published statements that the administration's policy might result in a situation whereby the attorney general made appointments of federal judges before whom the government's cases might be tried, brought forth the explanation that such an impression was erroneous. It was declared that the heads of departments might make recommendations, but at best they would act only as buffers for the president, bringing before him a final set of names for each particular office. Colonel Robert Ewing, Democratic national committeeman from Louisiana, was another caller. He came to invite the president to attend the Louisiana state fair next November. Mr. Wilson told the colonel he intended to remain in Washington at work, doing little traveling, at least this year. It was announced that the president had decided to hold regular cabinet meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week, as has been the custom for many years, after the official family is fully organized. When the cabinet meeting ended, President Wilson let it be known through Secretary Daniels that he proposed, so far as possible, to pursue a policy of publicity regarding what takes place around the cabinet table. It is the plan to make public in a formal way hereafter what has been disposed of. PENSION WARLESS COLONEL Born After Rebellion Began, But Son of a Veteran. Although the only fighting he has ever done was in political campaigns, "Colonel" John Rosenberger, of Kittanning township, near Pittsburgh, Pa., was granted a pension of $12 a month by the government. The "colonel" was born in 1862, and is only forty inches tall. The pension was granted him on the ground that he is the son of a deceased veteran and is unable to earn a living by manual labor.

Bean, of Washington, collided with the motorcycle of John L. Zimmerman at Feagaville, a few miles west of Frederick, Md. Zimmerman was injured to such an extent that he died thirty minutes later as he was being taken into the Frederick City hospital. The automobile was climbing a large hill at Feagaville at low speed, and as it neared the top Bean noticed the motorcycle coming toward him at high speed on the same side of the road. Apparently Zimmerman was confused, for the motorcycle struck the automobile square in the center of the radiator, pitching Zimmerman clear of the car and landing him in the arms of Bean. It is thought that Zimmerman was confused, for when Bean first caught sight of him he was riding with head down between the handlebars, and on catching sight of the automobile he seemed undecided in which direction to go. The rate at which the motorcycle was traveling prohibited any delay, and before Zimmerman could turn either to the right or left he had struck the automobile head on. Bean was held under $1000 ball for a hearing. WILSON BARS LIQUOR No Intoxicants to Be Served at Entertainments In White House.

President Wilson as He Appeared In His Office. ```markdown ``` © 1913, by American Press Association President Wilson plunged at once into the details of his duties as head of the nation. This shows him in his office in the executive building, from which he barred office seekers except under certain provisions. Governor Mann, of Virginia, issued a lengthy statement in Richmond, setting forth why he believes Floyd Allen and his son, Claude Swanson Allen, should pay the death penalty in the electric chair on March 28 for the part they played in the Hillsville court room tragedy of March 14 last, in which Judge Thornton L. Massie, Sheriff Lew Webb, Commonwealth's Attorney William Foster were stain outright, and one woman spectator and one juror dying later from wounds received in the fusillade. The condemned men have been under sentence of death since Sep. 18 last. The first date of execution was fixed for Nov. 22. They were respited until Dec. 31, then to Jan. 18, next to March 7, and the fourth respite fixed March 28. The condemned men were notified of the governor's decree, which is considered final. Since their confinement in the state prison they have had daily visits from ministers and are said to have expressed their readiness for death if the governor ruled against their petitions. The Cambria Steel company will spend $5,000,000 on extensions to the Johnstown, Pa., mills during the coming year. This was announced by President William H. Donner. Cambria has had a good year and Donner expresses confidence that the demand for steel products will continue for a long time. "I have such faith in the industrial situation today that I urged the expenditure for extensions," said Donner. It is planned to build four open hearth furnaces and extend the yards and shipping facilities. Preferred Death to Whlsky. When told that a little whisky as a stimulant might prolong or save his life, Roy H. Maurey, of Sunbury, Pa., who was hovering between life and death, after being in a railroad accident, where he lost a leg and an arm, replied that he would rather die than touch a drop of it. In a few minutes his heart ceased to beat. Maurey had never touched a drop in his life. He was twenty-three years old, and was injured when a draft of cars he was riding as a brakeman, on the Pennsylvania railroad, crashed into a street car, killing William Crist, the motorman. Four Burned to Death. Four persons were burned to death and one fatally burned in a fire in an Austrian boarding house at Mayburn, near Warren, Pa. There were fifty persons sleeping in the house at the time of the configuration. The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp. The building was two stories high, and by leaping from the secony-story windows most of the inmates were able to escape from the flames. Ethel Roosevelt to Wed April 4. Plans are now being arranged for the wedding of Miss Ethel Carow Roosevelt; the daughter of Colonel and Mre. Theodore Roosevelt, to Dr. Richard Derby, of New York. The wedding will be in the Episcopal church in Oyster Bay, L. I., on April 4, and a reception will follow at Saginmore Hill, Colonel's Roosevelt's country place. Long Term For Pyromaniac.

Washington, D. C., Marcli 9.—Pastor Russell arrived here this morning on his return from Panama, Kingston, Havana, Key West, Tampa and Pensacola. His coming was eagerly awaited by the Washington Temple Congregation. He took for his PASTOR RUSSELL Washington, D. C., March 9.—Pastor Russell arrived here this morning on his return from Panama, Kingston, Havana, Key West, Tampa and Pensacola. His coming was eagerly awaited by the Washington Temple Congregation. He took for his text Jesus' words, "When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His glory" (Matthew 25:31.) He said: When six thousand years ago man transgressed the Divine command and came under the sentence, "Dying, thou shalt die," he was cast out of Eden, that in the unprepared earth he might pay the death penalty, with labor and sweat of face going down to the tomb. Even then, in the declaration that the Seed of the woman would eventually bruise the serpent's head, God implied an ultimate victory for humanity, over Satan and sin and its death penalty. Later, God's Covenant with Abraham told that the victory would come through his posterity, but still did not explain how. Centuries later, Abraham's favored posterity became the Jewish nation, and came into covenant relationship with God through Moses, the mediator of the Law Covenant. Their hope was that they could so thoroughly keep God's Law as to merit everlasting life; and that learning how to practise this self-control, and gain the victory over sin, they would be competent to teach all nations, and to deliver mankind from sin and death. However, centuries of effort proved that none were able to keep the Divine Law satisfactorily; for all continued to die. The next Divine lesson was one of faith in God. Israel could not keep the Law Covenant satisfactorily—could not, therefore, have everlasting life. Hence they could not teach others to do what they could not do. The lessons of faith was that they should look forward to a coming Messiah, "A Prince and a Savior." Through Him all the promises would be 'fulfilled.' For centuries they waited for Him, and sought to apply Moses' words: "A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from amongst your brethren, like unto me [the antique of Moses]; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you. And * * * every soul which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people."—Acts 3:22, 23 Various were the hopes and imaginings respecting Messiah. He was to be the antitype of both David and Solomon, the antitype of Aaron and Melchizedek—very great! He was to reign from sea to sea. (Psalm 72:S.) Ultimately, so successful would be His reign that the knowledge of the Lord should fill the whole earth, as the waters cover the deep. (Habakkuk 2:14.) Not only Israel would be blessed by Him, but all nations, peoples, kindreds and tongues. Unto Him every knee would bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God.—Philippians 2:10, 11. The hearts of Israel looked forward with pride to that day when Messiah would exalt them very highly in the earth and associate them with Himself in the ruling and blessing of all people. Ah! they thought, the inauguration day will come, when as King of kings and Lord of lords Israel's Messiah will wield a scepter which all will recognize and under which all will receive a blessing! These good hopes held together the "chosen people," as no other nation or people have ever been held together. They are waiting still, though disconcerted by the length of time and by the various evidences that others are in some respects more favored than themselves. Messiah and the Jubilee at Hand. Messiah and the Jubilee at Hand. At last Israel's Star of Hope is rising! At last the prophecies tell that the morning of joy is about to dawn—and "the desire of all nations shall come." Not merely Jews are claiming that Messiah's Day is nigh, and that the Divine blessing is about to come upon Jerusalem and all the people of God, but Christian Bible students see the same. Mohammedans are claiming the same. Free, Masons are claiming the same. All men are in expectation of something wonderful, just at the door. The blessings multiplied upon us in the inventions of the last half-century all bespeak the New Dispensation, the reign of the King of kings. And if the preparations are on so grand a scale what will be the grandeur of the immanuation and of the reign itself? Truly the Scriptures say that "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard the things that God hath in reservation for them that love Him."—1 Corinthians 2:9. Inauguration Scene of Our Text. Inauguration Scene of Our Text. Leading in the grand procession picture is The Son of Man, following whom will be all the holy messengers; but with Him upon His glorious Throne will be His Bride class—saintly few. Thus it is written, "When Christ shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory" (Colosians 3:4); again, "To him that overconcueth will I grant to sit with Me in My Throne."—Revelation 3:21. Through the Prophets of old the picture was given us of the triumphal entrance of Messiah, saying, "Lift up your heads. O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in * * * Jehovah of Hosts. He is the King of glory." (Psalm 24:7, 10.) It is Jehovah's Kingdom that is to be established when Messiah comes; for Messiah is the godlike One, Jehovah's Representative, who for a thousand years will rule the world for the abolishment of sin and death, and the uplifting of Israel and all the nations. Messiah is spoken of as the Seed of David, who should inherit his throne. (Luke 1:31-33.) He who was according to the flesh David's Son is according to, the Spirit David's Lord, and He it is that shall sit upon the Throne. But as the throne upon which David sat was the Throne of Jehovah, so the Throne of Messiah will be Jehovah's Throne also. "Oh, that will be a crowning When Christ IIs Kingdom shall receive, Before the great white Throne!" Grand as have been the inaugural services of the past week, they were as nothing in contrast with the glorious crowning Day for which the earth has been waiting six thousand years. Happy, earnest and hopeful as were the faces that greeted the President, the picture was tame as compared with the light and Joy and confidence that will fill the world when mankind come to realize that during the past six thousand years God has been making preparation for this great Day that is even now dawning. Then gratitude will go up to the Lord from faithful hearts. Then truly on the grandest possible scale all that trust in Messiah will shout, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the bestest!" Then Messiah will take His Kingdom as God's Representative, His Holy One to rule the earth, and to dispense the blessings which God promised in the Abrahamic Covenant and reiterated "by the mouth of all His Holy Prophets since the world began." Wherein Did the Jews Fail? The Jews did not fall. All the promises of God made to them are still theirs. He never offered them spiritual favors. He never suggested that He would take them to Heaven. The strongest promise made, even to Abraham, was that all the land which could be seen would be given to him and to his seed. All the blessings of Israel were to come through Messiah, whose Kingdom is about to be inaugurated. What God did for the Jews at the First Advent of Jesus was something more than He ever promised to do for them. He foredale through the Prophets that Messiah would suffer; ye, that "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up." The Jews merely fulfilled a part of the Divine Program. Had Messiah gone to another nation, doubtless there would have been similar results. No other nation, indeed, was so well prepared as the Jews by Divine instruction through the Law and the Prophets. What God did for that nation more than He promised to do was that He gave them an opportunity of becoming more than the natural seed of Abraham. He gave them the opportunity of becoming spirit beings—members of Spiritual Israel. So many as received Jesus, and became consecrated to be His disciples, were received of the Father, begotten of the Holy Spirit, received into the family of God as Spiritual Israelites, as the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. But these were few. Then Divine favor turned to the Gentiles, and gave to them a similar opportunity of coming into membership with the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. This work has required nearly nineteen centuries and is now about completed. In other words, we understand that the Messiah class is about complete—Jesus the Head, faithful Jews next, the faithful from the Gentiles next. Jesus the Head long ago entered into His glory. Some of His members have already entered in, and soon the last members will pass beyond the wall. Then the preparatory work of making up the Messianic class will be completed. Immediately on the inauguration of The Messiah, His work of ruling and blessing will begin. At that point, according to the Scriptures, Natural Israel will return to God's favor, and be granted the chief blessing under the new administration. And through the Kingdom of Israel, as the earthly representative of Messiah's invisible, Spiritual Kingdom, the blessing of Jehovah will reach to all the families of the earth.-Genesis 12:3; 22:17, 18. What Israel Did Not See. The Jewish people failed to note those portions of prophecy which foretold Messiah's sufferings. As a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He would neither open His mouth nor use any of His superior powers to hinder the accomplishment of God's will in respect to His death. (Isaiah 53:7). The chantisement for human sin was borne by Him, in order that, as man's Redeemer, He might have the right to forgive human sin and to raise mankind out of their degradation and bring them back into harmony with God's Law, fully justified through the blood of the kideemer. Not only the Jews failed to see the necessity for a dying Savior, but the whole Gentile world may be said to equally fall to grasp the import of Jesus' death. The death of Jesus was necessary for two reasons: (1) As man's redemption price; (2) As evidencing His own faithfulness to God. His own loyalty even unto death, and consequently His right to the Divine promise of a glorious exaltation. compensating His devotion. His self-sacrifice, and honoring His name above every name—making Him partaker of the Divine nature. Without His redemptive work, the penalty of Divine Justice would have rested forever upon the human race, and none could have been resurrected from the dead. The sentence of death upon man would bring him to the same condition of nonentity as the dying of the brute accomplishes in him. But God knew in advance of His own purpose to arrange for mankind the payment of the penalty through His Son, who died, the Just for the unjust, to bring them back into harmony with God. It is for this reason that none living prior to Jesus were accepted to sonship in God's family, after Father Adam lost that privilege through disobedience. Only after the redemption could the invitation to sonship be extended. Those who accepted needed to wait until Pentecost to receive it. They waited until Jesus, who died for their sins, ascended up on High to make reconciliation on our behalf. Forthwith the Father accepted all who came unto Him through Christ, and the Holy Spirit came upon such, inducing them into the Divine family as sons. The difference between the Church and the world is that the Church is called out from the world now, when everything is unfavorable, while Satan is unbound, while ignorance and superstition hold sway, and while the reign of sin and death is in progress. These circumstances make for the Church a narrow way of self-sacrifice in walking in the footsteps of Jesus. But because of this severer trial of the narrow way, the Church is to have the superior blessing also—glory, honor, immortality, Divine nature, the First Resurrection—from earthly to Heavenly conditions Then will come the general blessing which God has provided, through Messiah's sacrifice, for the world. All sinned in the one man—Adam. All have been redeemed by the other Man—Christ Jesus. (1 Corinthians 15:21.) All are to be awakened from the sleep of death. All are to have a full opportunity to come to a knowledge of the Truth. And all are to be given everlasting life, who develop the spirit of holiness. Only the incorrigible, those who love iniquity and hate righteousness, will eventually be sentenced to the Second Death, from which there will be no recovery. Necessity For Christ's Reign. More and more we realize that education will not do for the world all that we once hoped. Many of us hoped that the education of the heathen would make saints of them, forgetting that education in the home-land has not made saluts very generally. There are good people, moral people, trustworthy people, who are not Christians at all. But they are the exceptions. The majority of people are not sufficiently strong of character to stand thus alone without the help of Christ. The great mass of mankind seem to need something in the way of chastisement, punishment, to offset the downward tendencies of their own fallen flesh. A few possibly have been restrained by the absurd teaching of eternal torment at the hands of demons, presented for a long time in the name of Christianity. But the majority reason that whoever else gets these experiences, they will not. Thus we find that nearly all the murderers imprisoned are such as have known the erroneous teaching of eternal torment, and yet have been unabashed thereby. In other words, they have given an outward assent to the teaching, but really have never believed it or been influenced by it. What the world needs is a strong government, which will hold in restraint the weaker and baser elements of society, and seek to help them up out of their difficulties. But no government yet devised is either strong enough or wise enough to accomplish much along these lines. This is evidenced by the fact that crime increases in proportion with intelligence; so much so that, using all of our modern appliances—telephones, telegraphs, dictographs, etc.—we are scarcely able to keep even with law breakers. All who have anything to do with police affairs shoulder at the thought of what might occur should the time ever come when the majority of a city should become stubborn and vicious through lack of work want of bread, etc. They tell us that such conditions would let loose the titer of human passions as it has never before been known in the world; for the titer is now educated, and the masses are on a par with the masters-social, financial and political. What we need is Messiah's Kingdom—the very Kingdom described to us in the Word of God. His rule will be that of justice and equity, and will give a fair opportunity to the poor and the needy. (Psalm 72:4.) His Kingdom will subdue vice and crush it out, and punish sin, in both rich and poor. His Kingdom will lay righteousness to the line and justice to the plummet, and will sweep away the refuge of lies and subterfuges under which injustice is now so often cloaked. No wonder the Scriptures tell us that Messiah's Kingdom will be "the desire of all peoples."—Haggai 2:7: Isaiah 28:17. RESTITUTION IN "PEARL OF ANTILLES" Pastor Russell, Returning From Panama, Visits Cuba. Modern Application of a Familiar Text, What the Bible Means by "Restitution Times"—The Pastor Claims Each "Time" a Year, a Thousand Altogether and a Beginning Made. Earth's Happy Day Nearing—A Little While, a Dark Hour May Intervene. Havana, Cuba, March 2—Pastor Russell is delighted with Cuba, and does not fail to call attention to the wide contrast between present sanitary conditions and those which prevailed so short a time ago, when this fair land suffered continually from vel. PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL land landed continually from yellow fever and other tropical ailments. The Pastor referred to General Wood as the one through whose energy and skill Cuba's restitution and rejuvenation came about. "Honor to whom honor is due" appears to be one of Pastor Russell's mottoes. The Pastor's text was Acts 3:19-21: "Times of Restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His Holy Prophets since the world began." He said:— In Panama a week ago I saw one of the stupendous works of man in subduing, or conquering, the earth and making it suitable for his purposes. I testified to the people there, and to the millions who read my sermons, respecting the increased education of humanity through modern inventions, which speak to us of the dawning of the New Era long foretold in the Bible. Today I point you to man's increasing skill along other lines. The laws of health and of disease are much better understood than ever in the past. The laws of chemistry applicable to nearly everything in life, are marvelously clear and greatly extended beyond anything of previous times. This increased knowledge lies close to the work of sanitation, which is so generally approved and so widely extended. All this sudden inflow of knowledge, not only upon the few learned, but upon the masses of mankind also, is a sign of the dawning of the New Day of God's blessing—Restitution. Millennial Work In Cuba. The Pastor urged his congregation to consider this wonderful transformation of conditions in their fair island an exemplification of the great work which will prevail throughout the whole world very shortly. It properly raises our estimation of human intelligence, and of the beneficence of the United States Government, whose agent in this transforming work was General Wood. What has taken place so markedly in Cuba under sanitary regulation is gradually being accomplished all over the world. It marks the dawning of the New Day referred to in his text as "Times of Restitution of all things" which God has promised from the beginning. Everywhere in the Scriptures the glorious work of human uplift is directly associated with Messiah's Kingdom. Perhaps many have expected the blessings to come in another way; nevertheless, now that they are coming, all should be able to see the facts and to acknowledge prophetical fulfillments. Is it any less true that the wilderness is coming to blossom as the rose because this is resulting from human energy—well-drilling and other irrigating projects? Surely not! The poet'sang. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." And that mysterious way is usually through human instrumentality, as improved conditions here in Cuba abundantly witness. Instead of being disappointed that God is using humanity for the fulfilment of His glorious promises, we should all rejoice that mankind may be associated with the marvels of Divine Wisdom. Nevertheless, the best that has been attained, here or anywhere is evidently far below the glorious standard of perfection which God declares to be the ultimate result. Best of All—Human Restitution. As man fell from the image and likeness of God. Restitution would mean to him a return to that image and likeness. Of all the Restitution wonders, this will be the grandest. Were "every prospect pleasing," and humanity were still vile, sinful, imperfect-mentally, morally and physically—the curse would still rest upon the earth. The evidences of the beginning of Restitution in the lifting of some of man's ignorance and superstition are by no means the realization of what is to be expected. If a taste of Divine goodness is so refreshing and happifying, what will the full draft mean to our poor race! My message is meaningless to those who have left the teachings of the Word of God, and who believe in human evolution. Disbelieving in the fall of our race from the Divine image in the flesh, these must logically deny also the redemption, and all necessity for a Savior to die for our sins. Surely they could not count it sin to experience evolution, as they claim; and if sin has not been committed, then there could not be a redemption, from sin, nor a restitution to a condition enjoyed before she entered the world. All such theories, therefore, are unscriptural. For this reason they are in antagonism to the Bible view, that man fell from God's image six thousand years ago; that he has passed through six great Days in which has prevailed a reign of sin and death, induced by Satan at the beginning, and still, to some extent, induced by him. Under this reign of sin and death, man has lost much of the Divine image, and has become brutal—more or less. The redemptive work of Jesus is not to be understood as a change of the Divine Plan and an abandonment of the earth as a Paradise, populated by humans in the mental and moral likeness of the Creator. God changes not. The mistake was merely one of ours, not authorized by the Bible. The time for Restitution was not due when Jesus gave His life as man's Redemption-price; but those "times," or years, of Restitution are due now; for we are living in the dawning time of the great Seventh Day to Thousand-Year Day. Messiah's first work as the great King of earth is about to be inaugurated. He is about to bind Satan—"that old serpent, the Devil." He is about to bless, not only the earth, but also humanity, by rolling away the original curse. Messiah's Kingdom is pictured as a Day ushered in by a glorious sunrise of truth and grace. In contrast with its light and knowledge, all the past six thousand years are figuratively spoken of as darkness. (Isaiah 60:2) But the Sun of Righteousness now arises with healing in His beams. Gradually, not suddenly, the sun arises; and so the Restitution blessings are coming in gradually, not suddenly. Sometimes in the early morning there is a thunder storm, which for a brief space hinders the dawning of the day. But it results in the drenching of the earth with a refreshing shower. So, according to the Bible, will this New Day of Messiah's Kingdom be ushered in, by a terrific storm of trouble. But it will be short; and its effects upon the earth will be refreshing. The great contrast between the righteousness of the future and the sin of the present will be so conspicuous that all will enjoy the new condition a: "The desire of all nations shall come" - Haggal 27. "God Moves In a Mysterious Way." God has withheld the knowledge of certain features of His Divine Program—for our good, we may be sure. The supposition upon which many of us went in times past is untenable. We supposed that God in the Bible had set forth in plain terms everything respecting His Plan. When we could not find it, we tried to manufacture it. It is good to study the Word, even if we do not understand. And if our forefathers got themselves into difficulties through errors of judgment in studying God's Word, we may be sure that they were not especially dis advantaged thereby. Not seeing the Divine purpose, they were required to exercise more faith. But that greater amount of faith was not then more difficult, probably, than the less amount now necessary. Christian theologians become so intent in their reasoning upon the Heavenly things appertaining to the Church that they forget all about the world. As cruelty became more pronounced the Word of God was less studied. It is not strange that our forefathers concluded that all except the Church would be eternally tormented. And when they concluded this to be God's Plan, it is not surprising that they concluded to join in the persecution themselves. Thus it comes that the pages of history are the records of bloody persecutions—sometimes directly from Christians, and sometimes indirectly from Christians through earthly governments. Thus the entire civilized world has become intoxicated with the wine of false doctrine from the cup of the woman who sat upon the beast, falsely representing herself as the Bride of Christ, but living in figurative barricot with the kingdoms of this world. (Revelation 17:1-5; 18:3.1 As we get over the stuppeaction of our intoxication of error, reason begins to return to us. The Apostle calls this "the spirit of a sound mind." We must not boast. There is still considerable darkness. But we are nearing the glorious light! The Divine Character is shining out as it was never seen before! Divine Love and Mercy are conspicuous. Divine Justice is seen in its true light. Proportionately as we see these things, our souls magnify and glorify the Lord, who is good, and whose Mercy endureth forever. Gathering of the Elect Now. Gathering of the Elect Now. The work of this present Age is unquestionably the gathering of God's Elect. It is equally unquestionable that the saints are the Elect. St. Paul points out to us that this is God's foreordination; namely, that all who will be elected in this pre-event Age must be copies of God's dear Son. This is what is predestinated—the terms and conditions, the requirements and qualifications, of the Elect. (Romans 8:20, 30.) God will permit none others to be of that number. But not a word is said in the Scriptures about God's having predestinated the non-elect to torment. Quite to the contrary. His predestination for the non-elect is that they shall be blessed by the Elect after the Elect Church is completed, after the Church, the Bride, shall have entered with her Bridegroom-Lord into the glories of Messiah's Klingdom. The Elect are the Seed of Abraham. First of all, the natural seed were elected, or chosen, of God to special privileges and opportunities under the Law Covenant; while the remainer of the world, called Gentiles, were allowed for century after century to go down to death without God, having no hope in the world. There was a hope for them, but they knew not of it, because God's time for revealing it to them had not yet come. If the Jews told the outsiders that they would ultimately bless all nations, the others smugged at such a suggestion, feeling that they were as competent to bless the world as were the Jews. This, indeed, was what the Babylonians tried. Next after them came the Medes and Persians; after them the Grecans; and still later came the Romans. Each of these stamped their ideas upon the world to the best of their ability, and gave their laws. Each attempted to show how much more competent than the others it was for earthly rulership. But, alas, none of them ruled satisfactorily or brought in "the desire of all nations." Meantime, also, the Jews waited for the fulfillment of their promises. Meantime, also, God renewed the promises, and assured them that He would send the Messiah to be their Deliverer shortly. When Jesus came, He came not as a warrior, like Alexander the Great or Napoleon. He was meek and lowly of heart; and He called the poor, the malmed, the halt-mentally, morally and physically—to His standard. Not unnaturally the Jewish leaders repudiated Him and crucified Him, declaring that He did not represent their ideals and must be a deceiver.—I Corinthians 2:7-8. Similarly they treated His followers. As St. Paul declared, "As decelvers and yet true," the early Christian's suffered reproach. The Jews understood not God's Message. They saw not that it was necessary for Jesus to die, "the Just for the unjust," to be a Redemption-price for the sins of the world. They saw not that such a death was necessary to Him, in order that He might attain the glory, honor and immortality of the future. They saw not that the disciples that Jesus called were saints. However weak these were, mentally and morally, their hearts were loyal, and they strove to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. People have not realized that, during this Gospel Age, God has been accepting the saintly ones who come unto the Father through the Savior. They have not seen that the suffering of these was necessary for their testing and proving, and for their instruction in righteousness, that they might be fully qualified for glory, honor and immortality and joint-heirship with Christ their Redeemer. St. Paul speaks of the Church as a Mystery class. It is a Mystery to the world: first, it is the selecting of a class the world would never think of choosing—a humble, week class; second, neither the Jews nor the world realize that this class constitutes the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, to bless all the families of the earth. Nevertheless God's great Plan goes on, whether they know or do not know. Ultimately it will work out a glorious result. Then Natural Israel and all nations will know. Then the Church, the Elect, the Seed, the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, will be joined to Him in bonds of perpetual love, zeal and faithfulness. Then will begin the very blessing God so long ago declared, saying to Abraham, "In thee and in thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed" - Gen. 12:3, 18:15, 22:18, 26:4. Abraham's Spiritual Seed. God has not changed His purposes. (Malachi 3:6) He created man an earthly being. He permitted him to fall. He purposed his redemption through Jesus. He purposed the calling of the Church of Christ, to be His associates in the Kingdom. He purposed that this Kingdom should be a Spiritual one: "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." (I Corinthians 15:50). He purposed that this Spiritual Kingdom should bless the world with Restitution blessings—bringing back to perfection all the willing and obedient of Adam's race. This is the Program still. We merely got a wrong impression when we thought that God's purpose was the bringing of all mankind to Heavenly conditions and nature. No. no! that blessed experience is only for the Church class. God still purposes Restitution for the world of mankind. In Abraham's Seed all the families of the earth will be blessed. If we see signs of these great blessings beginning now, it is a sure indication that the Elect must be almost complete. And if that be true, all of us who have vowed consecration to the Lord and His service should be thoroughly awake to our blessings and privileges, and to the fact that the time of most crucial testing is even now at the door. If we are to make our calling and our election sure, we must lose no opportunity for demonstrating that we are loyal to God and His Word, and to the brethren. Along these very lines we must expect tests, too. How else could we be proved? Moreover, now is the time to expect light on the Divine Word and Plan; and we are getting it. We are seeing the difference between human nature and Divine nature, between the earthly blessing that is to come to mankind and the "high calling" which is the portion of the Elect. God declares that the Mystery hidden from the past Ages and Dispenations, which He kept secret from the beginning of the world, is to cease to be a mystery. The Mystery becomes daily, yea, hourly, less pronounced, as we come into that condition of mind in which God will reveal to us His arrangements. Truly ours is a glorious time! Let us avail ourselves of the present glorious opportunities for Bible study and growth in knowledge, grace and love. Let us walk worthy of the light; and rejoicingly let us note that Jesus is yet to be "the Light of the world"—"which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."—John 19. ew ~ Published at 1109 Eye St. N. \V, Washington, DG ——— W.

Ii the South doesn't want the support of the Negro and his labor now is the time to show it, The Negro has extended the olive branch to the Southern Democracy without any inducements from it. The Negro has offered his kingdom to re- ceive nothing but rebuffs in re- turn. He has offered to vote the Southern white man's ticket without his invitation. Bishop Walters in the Jast campaign in private as well as public meeting: assured the Negroes that Presi- vent Wilson would treat’ them justly and fairly. It is hoped that President Wilson will not allow the declarations of Bishop Wal. ters to prove untrue. The Negre doesn’t fear the Northern Democ- racy... The South. with every en: actment of the government, con: tinnes to declare that the Negre has no rights the Soutliern whit aman must respect. [1 a colored man is not to succeed Mr. Lewis why not appoint a Negro to the San Domingo? ‘The Bee was in: formed some time ago that the Democratic administration would fill all piaces held by Negro Re publicans with Negro Democrats and go one farther. Negro De- mocracy has great faith in See retary of State Bryan. It believe: that he will see to it that. Negre Democrats are fairly and justly treated, se far as it is in his power, . The Bee hopgs that Bixho} Walters will not be deceived. ROOKER IN THE WEST. The tour of Dr. Booker Ty Washingjon through the far West has been a triumphant one. Every place he spoke immense throngs turned out to hear the inspiring words of this great Negro repre- sentative The far West. occupied as it has been, with progressive- ism, and having a comparatively small Negro population, has given little atention to the subject of Negra education and Negro rights. = Dr. Washington _ has blazed the way. He carried the torch which gave-the West ligh to see. our condition and out needs. And he did not. at any place, select simply those words and those nicely rounded senten ces that wonld simply tickle th ear for a few moments, and then like an echo, mystically vanish but he chose those words, an coined those sentences that woul drive home the plain unvarnishe truth. He dealt not in metaphor and figures of speech: he use strong language to point out tha ten millions of this country’s pop ulation were subjected to discrim inations even an alien is not me _ with upon his arrival in this sup posed land of equai rights ‘an equal opportunities. THe showe to the ageressive West that th very fact that the Negro was pre geressing in spite of the hurtin discouraging handicaps of rac discrimination constituted pos tive evidence that the Negro wa a MAN, and that he possessed all the requisites for a desirable citizen, He had not one word of criticism for those Negroes who camp on his trail with inef- fective abuse. He ignored all these. He went to the West to speak well of his race, to advance the cause of his race—the whole race, and to ask that the West— the broad, rugged, hustling West —pause long enough to consider that justice is still being with- held from a law-abiding, loyal contingent that has never yet failed to respond to the country’s call, whether that call would carry them beyond the scas to support the flag, or whether that call re- quired them. to bear the heavy burdens of civilization without enjoying the privileges civiliza- tion vouchsafes. ‘That his tour of the West will result in a “in: ning of the West” no one doubts A WARNING. Colored men in the several de- partments of the government should be careful and sce that they don't even look at the white female employes. So sensitive have many of these women got- ten that it is dangerous for a col ored man to speak to them on offi- cial business. [na certain depart- ment of the government a few weeks ago a colored man was called down because lhe was car- tying out instructions. ‘The White woman thought the colored man should have addressed her in ‘a patronizing or “monkey” way. ‘She thought the winner of in- forming her of her errors should have been in a humiliating man- ner. She reported the colored nin to his chief. A» a matter of fact the colored clerk was doing the woman a favor by not report- ing her errors, In another de- partment a few days ago a col- ored man was dropped from the rolls because he said to a white female employe that she looked good to him. He aleclared that fhe was talking about another very fine looking colored woman, Colored men who get the white fever ought to be discharged from the pubtic service. The Bee warns its colored friends and readers to keep as far from, white female employees as they possi- aie cau ALFRED B.

There is no chief of police in this country who en- deavors to do Lis duty more than the present chief of police. Some of the most leading citizens in this city know that the officers of the “metropolitan police, force worked hard to preserve order on the Avenue March 3d. ‘The chief of police has frequently made recommendations to Congress for more men, and it,is this body o! mien who should pe held respon sible and not the ichief of police There is every reason to believe that he will be vindicated. DR. JAMES FE. SHEPARD. The Bee is particularly inter- ested in the suceess of the Na- tional Religions ‘Training School, of Durham, N, C., and Dr. James K. Shepard. ‘This young man de- serves the plaudits of the Ameri- can people heeatse he has done what no other man can do in so short atime. The white people of the South, that is, the better class of white people, are with him. Dr. Shepard seems to have their confidence and support. and if the colored people throughout the country were as loyal and gave this school the same support there would be no doubt of its success. je _ Negroes are on the anxious) seat. : Bishop Walters as yet has not been called into conference by those who dispense patronage. ‘The accepting of Wm. 4.

The most brilliant performance given by amateurs ever witnessed in this city was the "Mikado" by the Washington Conservatory Choral Society, presenting Miss Daisy Tapley of New York as "Katisha." The chorus and principals numbered sixty, and with beautiful Japanese stage settings and gay colored costumes presented a most pleasing picture.

Have The Bee sent to your home WE INVITE EVERY THIN MAN AND WOMAN HERE Every Person in Washington and Vicinity to Get Fat at Our Expense BRADFORD "Gee! Look at that fit of skinny scar crows! Why don't that try. Sargoll!" This is an invitation that no thin man or woman can afford to ignore. We will tell you why.

We will tell you. We have found a wonderful concentrated treatment for increasing cell growth. the very substance of which our bodies are made; for putting in the blood the red corpuscle which every thin man and woman so sadly need—a scientific assimilative agent to strengthen the nerves and put the digestive tract in such shape that every ounce of flesh making food may give its full amount of nourishment to the blood instead of passing through the system undigested and unassimilated. Users tell of how this treatment has made indigestion and other stomach trouble quickly disappear while old dyspepties, and many sufferers from weak nerves and lack of vitality declare in effect it has made them feel like a two year old. This new treatment, which has proved such a boon to thin people is called SARGOL. Don't forget the name S-A-R-G-O-L. Nothing so good has ever been discovered before. Women who never appeared stylish in anything they wore because of their thinness, men underweight or lacking in nerve force or energy have by their own testimony, been able to enjoy the pleasures of life—been fitted to light life—battles, as never for years, through the use of "Sargol."

Many users declare they have increased their weight at the rate of one pound a day. But you say you want proof! Well, here you are. Here are extracts from the statements of those who have tried—who have been convinced and who will swear to the virtues of this wonderful preparation. REV. GEORGE W. DAVIS says: "I have made a faithful trial of the Sargol treatment and must say it has brought to me new life and vigor. I have gained twenty pounds and now weigh 170 pounds, and, what is better, I have gained the days of my boyhood. It has been the turning point of my life. My health is now fine. I don't have to take any medicine at all and never want to again." MRS. A. I. RODENHEISER writes: "I have gained immensely since I took Sargol, for I only weighed about COME.

I feel stronger and am looking better than ever before, and now I carry rosy cheeks, which is something I could never say before. "My old friends who have been used to seeing me with a thin, long face, say that I am looking better than they have ever seen me before, and father and mother are so pleased to think I have got to look so well and weigh so heavy 'for me.'" CLAY JOHNSON saves: "Please send me another ten-day treatment. I am well pleased with Sargol. It has been the light of my life. I am getting back to my proper weight again. When I began to take Sargol I only weighed 138 pounds, and now, four weeks later, I am weighing 153 pounds and feeling fine. I don't have that stupid feeling every morning that I used to have. I feel good all the time. I want to put on about five pounds of flesh and that will be all I want." F. GAGNON writes: "Here is my report since taking the Sargol treatment. I am a man 67 years of age and was all run down to the very bottom. I had to quit work, as I was so weak. Now, thanks to Sargol, I look like a new man. I gunned 22 pounds with 23 days' treatment. I cannot tell you how happy I feel. All my clothes are getting too tight. My face has a good color and I never was so happy in my life." MRS. VERNIE ROUSE says: "Sargol is certainly the grandest treatment I ever used. It has helped me greatly. I could hardly eat anything and was not able to sit up three days out of a week, with stomach trouble. I took only two boxes of Sargol and can eat anything and it don't hurt me and I have no more headache. My weight was 120 pounds and now I weigh 140 and feel better than I have for five years. I am now as fleshy as I want to be, and shall certainly recommend Sargol, for it does just exactly what you say it will do." You may know some of these people or know somebody who knows them. We will send you their full address if you wish, so that you can find out all about Sargol and the wonders it has wrought. Probably you are now thinking whether all this can be true. Stop it!

Man Who Turned Against Ma- dero Now Acting President. General Victoriano Huerta, Mexico's latest dictator, is the senior officer in command of the Mexican army with the rank of major general. For many months he has been in command of all the federal forces in the vicinity of Mexico City. When General Diaz and General Reyes began their revolt on Sunday, Feb. 9, Huerta was designated to take charge of the situation. He disposed the federal forces and personally led many of the assaults in the last ten days of fighting around the arsenal, where Diaz was fortified. Seven Children Burned In Home. Seven children, ranging in age from two to twelve years, the entire family of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith, were burned to death in their log cabin home, a few miles from Harrisburg, Pa., which was totally destroyed by a fire of unknown origin. The father and mother had been in Harrisburg, purchasing supplies for the family, and made the gruesome discovery upon their return. Most of the packages the parents carried were toys and candles for the children. Small charred bodies, almost unrecognizable among the smouldering ruins, were all the evidence of what had been a lot of romping children. The family had expected to move to a nearby farm. The father and mother arrived at their home while the fire was at its height, and the mother was restrained with difficulty from dashing into the fanning building in an effort to save her children. The house was built on a hillside, and during the fire the children could be seen huddled on their beds, but it is believed that life was extinct before anyone reached the place. The two-year-old baby's body was found clasped in the arms of the oldest daughter, aged twelve, in the ruling of the bed on which they had gone to sleep. It is thought that the fire started in the kitchen and that the dense smoke caused the deaths of the children before the fire reached them. Joaquin Miller Passes Away. Joaquin Miller, poet of the Sierras, died at his home at the Helfights on Hills, which overlook Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco bay. Death came as the result of natural decline of physical force in the aged poet, who was seventy-two years old. Miller had been ill for five days and he had been confined to his bed for six weeks. His wife and his daughter, Juanita, were the only ones in attendance. About a year ago Mr. Miller was taken seriously ill, and his wife, who had been separated from him for years, was induced by her daughter to visit and help care for the old poet. He recovered slowly, but it was only within the last two months that he was able to walk about unaided. One of his last visitors was Mrs. Langley, who went up to his home and revived recollections of Miller's great vogue in London twenty-five years ago. Student Robbed the Dead. The mysterious robberies at the county morgue at Pittsburgh, Pa., were explained when Earl Wolfe, aged twenty years, a student, confessed to Coroner Jamison that he had been robbing the dead. Wolfe is a student working his way through the University of Pittsburgh. He has been given extra work at the morgue. He told Coroner Jamison he took the money to aid him in getting an education, but that his conscience has made it impossible for him to sleep. Wolfe says that when the morgue attaches were preparing a body for the mortuary he would go through the clothes taken from the corpse. He says he got $143 and a solid gold watch from the pockets of Joseph Van Gorder, a Troy, N. Y., salesman, who was killed on Jan. 23. Giggling Girls Jailed. Miss Rose Beattle, seventeen years of age, and Mrs. Florence Aspline, nineteen years old, are in the county jail at Washington, Pa., serving a twenty-day sentence for giggling.

SEND AT ONCE TO BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY: 17 Hicks St. Brooklyn, N Y THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW As Christian Bible Students—The Sub- factory Proof of "Why God Permits Evil." One of the questions which comes to nearly every thinking mind today is, "Why does God permit evil?" As we look about us in the world we observe that it is filled with sorrow and trouble, sickness and pain and every trial we could enumerate, and we cannot help wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT. We realize that He is almighty and that He could prevent it if He wished. We read in His Word that He is more willing to do for His children than are earthly parents for theirs, and we know how much that means; yet of tentions it seems that those who try to do and live right have the most trouble. This question is made very clear in a book entitled, "The Divine Plan of the Ages." Every statement is backed by Scripture, and shows that while God does not sanction evil HE HAS HAD A PURPOSE IN ALLOWING SIN AND DEATH TO REIGN THESE SIX THOUSAND YEARS. This and many other subjects of deep interest to all of God's people are discussed fully and in language easy to comprehension.

It was recorded also at Atlantic] City. People at first thought an earth quake had occurred. A schoolhouse at Sparrows Pojnt, several miles -fiom the scene of the explosion, was partly destroyed and several of the school children were burt. Baltimore itself was shaken as if by a powerful trem bling of the earth, and tall buildings in the center of the city rocked pe ceptibly. Scores of vessels hurried to the| sceen of the disaster to give what aid they could, The explosion was 8» powerful that pieces of steel weighing, fifty pounds were hurled through the alr for 2 distance of four miles, Cases of dynamite were thrown for a grea | distance from the Alum Chine and ex: | ploded as they fell, adding to the dam: age and destruction. | The Afum Chine was fnlshing the loading of a cargo of high explosive- for the Panama canal. A lighter wit’ four railroad cars was towed to the side of the vessel and the work at completing the task of loading was expected In a few hours.

Waters, Jr.) Epochal, history-making, significant, precedent-breaking and withal wholly enjoyable was the inaugural smoker of the Mu-So-Lit Club held in True Reformers' Hall last night. It was an odd scene. For it presented Seriousness fighting like a demon to hold his own in a tabloid kingdom of mirth in which Monus sought to reign supreme and from which Dull Care, seeing the usefulness of contending, lied itself away upon the wings of the morning into the uttermost parts of the earth. The affair was characterized by greater eclat than any similar function ever held in Washington and was voted by the hundred and twenty-five members and invited guests who attended an amal loved success. The early part of the evening was spent in card playing, relating campaign anecdotes, telling stories of great events-both real and imaginary—mostly the latter—and in general handshaking. At half past 10 clock President G. Luther Sadgwar invited the company to assemble in front of the stage to witness a short program which was about to be offered as a part of the evening's entertainment. Following an overture by the Howard Theater Orchestra, President Spidgwar greeted the club and its guests, in a short address, which proved to be a marvel of constructive skill and literary grace. The orchestra then contributed another number. The piece de resistance of the program turned out to be a serio-come political sketch from the pen of G. Smith Wormley (assisted by Messt- McCracken, Chestnut and Waters), entitled "Pre-Election Dream—Post-Election Reality." The "skii" was in three parts. Bart I opened with the members and nearmembers of the Black Cabinet assembled in front of Gray's Cafe, where they have just attended a combination banquet and political pow-wow. Judge Hewlett (Fred McCracken) tells the others—Hon. Wan. H. Lewis (Edward H. Lawson). Hon. Ralph Tyler (Henry Grant). Hon. James A. Cobb (Maurice Clifford), Judge R. H. Terrell (Dr. A. S Gray). Hon. Whitfield McKinley (James Cowan), and Rev. Dr. Milton Waldron (James L. Chestnut)—that the one true indication to be read in the stars was that Taft and Roosevelt would be relegated to the limbo of shattered idols and that Woodrow Wilson would be elected President of the United States by an overwhelming majority. The Judge declared that so far as he was concerned the only safe and sane plan was for the whole bunch to land themselves as quickly right on the Wilson band wagon. Instantly the party disperse in wild disorder, rushing helter skelter for Union Station to catch the next train out to Trenton. The curtain goes up on the second part with the politicians all assembled in the private office of Goy. Wilson (James C. Waters, Jr.) in the executive mansion at Trenton, N. J. Judge Hewlett, wearing that unconscionable silk-sne hat (which Washington has long since abandoned all hope of ever getting rid of), in a high-sounding speech is telling Gov. Wilson how he and the other self-appointed managers of the Negro race propose to deliver to him twelve million Negro votes, and do it in spite of the fact that the entire Negro population numbers less than ten million, including women and children who could not vote. He points out that this means certain victory at the pollin in November in view of the fact that in the three-cornered contest now being waged the Negro vote was the balance of power. It meant also, of course, that Gov. Wilson would remember each of the assembled politicians when he meant to make up his jewels—which, of course, was entirely beside the question, the Judge hastened to say, he and his associates being moved by pure patriotism and that alone. Gov. Wilson thanks Judge Hewlett and in the course of his remarks contrives to inform the Judge that should he be elected President of the United States in the November election, Judge Hewlett might expect to find him-self Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The Judge, grabbing the will for the deed, thanks the Governor for the magnificent appointment, while his colleagues proffer their hands in congratulation. The Governor then, addressing himself to the others present, calls each by name and in a short sentence or two informs him what shall be his reward should the victory be won. Lewis draws the Secretary-hip of State; Tyler is to be the Secretary of the Navy; Cobb will adorn the Cabinet table as Attorney General; Judge Terrell-shall go as Minister to Mexico; Whitfield McKinley shall be Director of the Mint at Philadelphia; Napier (whose absence Gov. Wilson deplores) shall be Secretary of the Treasury and Dr. Waldron is to be the Commissioner of Education with special and supreme power over the schools of the District of Columbia. After a further word of good cheer, the owners (2) of the Negro race depart and the scene closes with Gov Wilson chuckling gleefully over the avidity with which the colored brethren had gobbled up the lemons he had handed out. The curtain rises on Part III with a flunkey sitting in the presidential chair at the White House with his feet prop up on the desk. As Wilson enters the office the flunkey falls all over him-elf getting up and saluting the President. President Wilson has a colloquy with the flunkey in which it comes out that his name is James A. Cobb, recently employed as the new private messenger. The President's indignation at seeing a "dinge" in the presidential chair having subsided, he tells Cobb to get his brush and paint bucket and paint over the door of the executive office the words, "Mil hope abandon, ye who enter here." At this point a fierce commotion is heard; Cobb rushes to obey Wilson's order to see what the trouble is, when in rushes Judge Hewlett, "het up hot an' still a-heatin'," and begins to denounce President Wilson for breaking his pre-election promise "Instead of being Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court," shouts the Judge, "here I am hitting the pave as a policeman in the Eighth Precinct." The President tries to pacify Judge Hewlett, but like "trying to drink up all dat 5-cent licker in Lantic City, it can't be did." Hard upon each other's heels the other statesmen follow each other into the President's private office at the White House, and they raise so much "cain" that Messenger Cobb is quite put out to see the presidential dignity so rudely assailed. It would seem, however, that the bunch had ample reason to complain considering the richness of each promise and the poverty of each fulfillment. Instead of Knox's job at the head of the Cabinet board, Lewis manages, to become sheriff of Fairmount Heights. Tyler gets the Navy alright, but as a sailor of the palatial Steamer River Queen. Judge Terrell bitterly complains about being tucked off as Postmaster at Alexandria. Va., where he says half the time nobody can see the town because some bone-head farmer stops his wagon in front of it. Whitfield McKinley lands a job as mail carrier, much to his disgust, while Dr. Waldron is richly rewarded with the head janitorship of Arm-strong Manual Training School. At this point it is noted that the assembled politicians are beginning to nod, one statesman, Judge Hewlett, having so far yielded to the call of Morpheus as to fall out of the chair. President Wilson admonishes them all in quiet tones to get the money as best they can, even as Father Booker hath said, and leave holding high office to other people. "And if any one should be so foolish as to ask," says the President, "how you came to pick a lemon in the garden of political love—where they say only peaches grow—point him to the quaint but beautiful philosophy of our moral poet, who says to us: "Heap sees, but few knows, Heap starts, but few goes. Many are called, but few is chosen: Don't as for muttin' an' ye won't git refused." Deep slumber now holds fast all the group, including Messenger Cobb and the President also, while from the wings proceeds, the sound of a quartette, led by Kiger Savoy, singing "Dreaming" from DeKoven and Smith's "Serenade." During the intermission between the second and third parts Dr. C. Summer Wormley rendered the bachelor's song, "I Want What I Want When I Want It," from "Mille. Modiste," and at the close of the skit Mr Harry Williams, director of the Washington Conservatory, contributed a humorous piece which was highly enjoyed. Both the singers were in good voice and were accorded a rousing hand by the house. Caterer Murray having begun to serve a toothsome luncheon, President Sadgwar announced that a series of luntern slides would now be shown. If any one saw his name and photo flashed upon the screen he would be expected without further call to respond in a three-minute speech. Those responding included Hon. W H Lewis, inimitably droll and happy as usual; Dr. A. S. Gray, in a welcome-to-oour-city stunt that was very, very funny; Dr. W. S. Lofton, on the "Dunbar Club" Kelly Miller on "The Fourth Dimension in American Politics," which turned out to be Theodore Roosevelt (and for which K Miller received a sound trouncing from one Trottter); Prof. Geo. Wm. Cook, Neval H. Thomas, Prof Gernet Wilkinson, Judge Terrell, W L. Houston, Esq. Judge Hewlett, Robert A. Petham and Napoleon P. Marshall. A feature of this part of the program was the singing of two original parodies by all the company, led by Dr Wormley. One of these, sung to the tune of "My Romie," contained humorous things at Assistant Attorney General Lewis, Judge Terrell and the "Black Cabinet." It was screamingly funny. The speakers included also C. H. Hughes, of the Excise Board of New York City; Wm. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, and F. H. M. Murray. Mr. Murray contributed a highly entertaining and instructive outline of the Negro's part in American history as put upon canvas by American painters of scenes connected with our national history. Mr. Trotter expanded his three minutes into twenty-three and, taken all in all, made a rattling good speech, the features of which were a vitriolic attack on Mr Roosevelt and a merciless lambasting of the admirers of Roo-sevelt and Rooker Washington. He said they were "either fools or knayes." Mr. Trotter closed with a stirring call to the race to stand firmly and battle to regain its lost political rights. Mr. Hughes spoke on "Tamanny Hall's Loyalty to the Negro Democrat." His speech, lasting quite half an hour, turned out to be a magnum opus, or grand sonata in X, written by himself for single mouth-organ performers, with "Tamanny Hall" and "We Gits Ours" as recurrent themes running through the piece. Mr. Hughes' remarks were well received. As the evening closed the unanimous vote seemed to be that the MuSo-Lit smoker with its hand-one hand-painted program (the work of Mesr-s, Sadgwar and Smith Wormley), was positively the best ever, and then some more.

Church, Washington, D.C., met with a misfortune Wednesday, March 5. While on his way from the Union Station he decided to call and see a sick member who lives in that neighborhood, and on his way was assaulted and severely beaten by two toughs who attempted to rob him. For that-reason Rev. Dean was unable to be present. But he sent out a great body of his membership. Rev. Dr. Ernest S. Williams, D. D., the district superintendent of the Washington District of the Washington Annual Conference, on hearing of the misfortune of Rev. Dean, kindly consented to preach at Ebengzer at 11 o'clock and Fairmount Heights at 3 o'clock. Both engagements were well attended and great good was done in the name of the Lord. The collection at Fairmount Height M. E. Church was $16.60, which was donated to the stewards of the church. Rev. E. S. Williams preached at 8 o'clock p. m. at Simpson M. E. Church, Rev. W. S.
