Washington Bee

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. XXXIV, NO. 2 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1913 THE HOBBLE SKIRT Disgustingly Vulgar.-Impossible to Tell a Decent Woman, says Mr. Cunningham.-He Would Not Walk Down the Street With a Vulgar Hobble.-Hard to Find a Decent Wife.-A Fearful Arraignment of Women. Editor The Bee. I beg space through the columns of your very valuable paper to say a few words about this nuisance that has infested the beautiful streets of the nation's capital. I refer to the hobble skirt women. These women seem to be putting themselves to a lot of unnecessary trouble to be seen of men. But we would to God that they could see themselves as the men see them. God never made a sweeter thing than woman, and all men realize that fact; but it seems that the women of this day and time are fast losing all respect for common decency which is due their sex. And if these miserable looking hobblers don't respect themselves, they are asking too much of the men to respect them. See? There was a time when one could very easily distinguish the good mother, wife and sister from the lewd women—their dress and deportment would tell the man who was out for a "good time" who they were. But that day is almost past. These "good time" men are very likely to make a mistake by insulting our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. But who is to blame for the mistake? Certainly not the man; for the face is all powdered, her dress is short and fits around the hips as though she was melted and poured - into it; so where, then, is the sign to tell the good woman from the bad one? I tell you, my Christian friends, these women have carried their brazen way of dressing to the limit! and if common respect for themselves don't cause them to change their style of dress, then, in the absence of the law, father, husband and brother should demand them to cease wearing these "tight" hobble skirts. I wouldn't walk down any of the back streets In Washington with a woman dressed in a "tight" hobble skirt. Not you wouldn't catch me in such a mess like that. I'd be ashamed! This thing of keeping up with these vulgar styles will—and doubtless has, in some instances—be the means of wrecking many a happy home. And it will cause the abandonment of many a sweet and innocent girl. There must be something done for the "redemption" of these women; for they seem to have no more respect for themselves than if they were not human beings. Seeing they have no shame about them, the husband and father should establish a rule—a rule of decency and respect for womankind—and say to wife and daughter: "So far shalt thou go and no farther!" My wife and I married when we were mere children. We have lived happily together for nearly thirty years, twelve children having been born to us, and I have never raised my hand to strike her or to slap her, like some very mean men have done their good wives; but, see here, I have served notice on her that the very day she puts on one of those tight hobble coats I intend, by the help of God, to break every bone in her body—so I will. In addition to the Anti-saloon Society there should be an anti-hobble skirt society. For decent society will never be what God would have it be by closing the grog shops and substituting half-naked women in the streets. Away with them I away with these vulgar tight hobble skirt fiends. They are a stench to the nostrils of every man who has the proper respect for all womankind. And it is the duty of every minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and every editor of the newspapers, to cry aloud against these women who seem to know no such a thing as shame. Oh, that these women—these would-be tempters of men—could see themselves as all men of respectability see them. As had as we detest a drunken woman, we think it more becoming her than to see her dressed in such a way as she is seen in the streets every day. If she is fishing for a husband, none but suckers will relish that kind of bait. And if she has a good husband she will soon look like "all others" to him. So she is bound to lose out in the end. Women should wear only such costumes that are more befitting their sex and common decency. And may God help us to think on these things. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. WOMEN. Those Who Have and Are Doing Something and What Makes Them Talked About. By Miss G. B. M. Mrs. John Mercer Lansgton and her daughter, Mrs. Nettie Napier, the wife of the Register of the Treasury, are two of the most polished hostesses in this city. Both ladies are charming entertainers. Mrs. Julia Layton is a strong woman's advocate and a progressive educator. She knows how to handle children and schools. She was one of the best teachers in the public schools. Miss Mattie E. Bowen deserves more than what she is now receiving. She has spent the great portion of her life for true womanhood, who will give her credit. Miss Nannie H. Burrough has accomplished more than any one woman in this country. There is nothing in show and glittering generalities. True womanhood is only found in honest and progressive women. Very few women have accomplished anything in this city. It is believed that women must take the lead if anything great is to be accomplished. Dr. Amanda Gray is a progressive as well as an accomplished lady. She fully demonstrates her ability in the profession in which she is engaged. It is said that Mrs. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., is a wonderful help to the National Religious Training School at Durham. Mrs. A. M. Curtis is perhaps the only female politician of note among colored women of this country. Mrs. Ida Wills Barnett is a fearless agitator and political writer. She is the most fearless advocate among females of color. Dr. Minnie Cruse is the first woman, white or colored, to pass the Board of Pharmacists of the District of Columbia and stand the highest in the examination. She is a refined and polished woman. Dr. Julius P. H. Coleman is the first female to manufacture hair pomade for her people upon a wholesale basis. Mrs. L. A. Pendleton has made remarkable progress within the last ten years. She is the author of a very interesting history of the colored race. Mrs. M. G. Gibbs, directress of the Washington Conservatory of Music is making a history for her race. This institution of which she is 'directress is doing well. Mrs. Ella V. Chase Williamis, of Abbeville, S. C., and a former Washington, is one of the most progressive educators in the South. She was the prime factor in the establishment of the Williams and Ferguson's Academy at Abbeville, S. C. The editor of this column solicits items of interest to women for this column. They should be brief and concise and the writers name signed, not necessarily for publication but as a guarantee of good faith. Music a Valuable Asset. From the editorials of the East Tennessee News of Knoxville, Tenn. The Negro has an asset in music that he has never realized. This great talent has laid dormant except in a few instances and needs cultivation to startle the whole civilized world. A few have taken cognizance of this great gift among our people, and in a modest way are trying to cultivate this great talent of music to the credit of our race. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs · Marshall, a pioneer in this work and founder of the, Washington Conservatory 'of Music and School of Expression, recently visited our city and interested many of the leaders to the extent that a scholarship will be bought by the people of this city to give to some worthy young man or young lady an opportunity to take advantage of this worthy school of music. Another laudable object of Mrs. Marshall and her associates is the desire to conserve to the credit of the colored people the many "folk songs" of our people. The "folk songs" emanating from the slave ranks high among the "folk songs" of other nationalities and races. They have their origin in suppressed people and are rich in real music and become the foundation upon which the higher and more classical music is built. If we fail to protect and preserve these valuable "folk songs" they are liable to be stolen from us and lost to us as a people. We should develop our music, since we have such great possibilities, and in common with other nations show our civilization by progress along musical lines distinctively our own. Such efforts as are being put forth by Mrs. Marshall and others in time will reap a rich harvest of good to the race and should be encouraged. An African Prince Studying at Tuskegee An African prince, heir to a large territory, is a student at Tuskegee and The New York Times has this to say of him: "Lattevi Ajaji, a young African prince, is now in Booker Washington's school at Tuskegee. Ajaji is the lineal heir to a kingdom as large as Texas, with a population of more than 3,000,000 blacks; he came to this country to study agriculture. In The Journal of American Folklore Dr. John A. Lomax describes a meeting with this young prince, who will soon return to Africa when graduated, with a Texas Negro girl to whom he is now engaged. "He came into my room quietly and stood with some embarrassment before me, as erect as a soldier, while I questioned him. Although plainly ill at ease, his dignity was impressive. His eyes met my look squarely, and he gave my questions prompt, thoughtful answers. He had not learned to dissemble any more than THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN of New Jersey, to be appointed soon to a representative position by the administration. Mr. Cosey is a lawyer of ability and liked by his people. No young man is better known to the people of this county than Mr. Cosey. Ex-Lieut.

"Ajaji's grandfather is the present King of the Yoruba people, who live north of the Gulf of Guinea in West Central Africa." Normal Graduation. The graduating exercises of Normal School No. 2 took place Friday morning in Summer Hall, Seventeenth and M Streets Northwest, Miss Lucy Moten, principal. A most representative audience was present. The graduates were as follows: Regular Course—Helen Zulicka Alexander, Mary Frances Allen, Agnes Luhessa Beverly, Nina Beatrice Butler, Frances Ellen Butler, Anna Beatrice Cooper, Beatrice Kathleen DeLong, Rachel Adelaide Dent, Vernette Virginia Divon, Media Evangeline Fitzhugh, Pearl Olive Flagg, Pearl Elizabeth Gordon, Leonora Theresa Hall, Viola Elizabeth Henderson, Ethel Spann Hutchins, Eveline Addie Lacy, Barbarba Iola Magruder, Edith Angelese Matthews, Golden Vivien Mackenzie, Rosa May Mosby, Bessie Moseell, Grace Lillian Newman, Elsie Ray Newman, Florence Estelle Parnell, Kathleen May Peebles, Ainsworth Spooff Rucker, Alberta Sylvia Shaw, Ann Louise Thomas, Mae Fisher Turner, Addie Rebecca Turner, Justine Olivia Townes, Dorothy Mae Waring, Vivien Estelle Williams.

Manual Training Course—James Edward Nathaniel Monroe. This was the most successful graduation that has ever been held, and Miss Moten is to be congratulated. ARBITRARY POWERS. Do They Ever Get Old? When a person is placed in power higher than the position to which he is appointed they become arbitrary and unmanageable. On the public school boards may be found a number of would-be bosses or persons who have been suddenly elevated to positions. The Bee now refers to some of the principals and supervisors. Many of the supervisors in particular become unbearable. Miss Mattie E. Bowen, one of the greatest race women in the world, unfortunate for her, has been rated to such an extent that should be investigated by the Board of Education. Miss Bowen, as it will be remembered, has given the best portion of her life in the public schools. She was appointed in public schools in 1875 and, as the world knows, she has been, in her times, a speaker and a worker for the uplift and advancement of her race. The people who have marked her down have done nothing but draw a salary. The Bee doesn't believe that a woman of Miss Bowen's ability will be separated from the public schools. There is not a better liked teacher or a more deserving one to be found in the public schools. It's unfortunate that, the teacher pension bill doesn't pass. There are worthy and deserving teachers in the public schools. of the Order. Lawyer Scott was the recipient of several social functions during his short stay in Richmond, and the people of Richmond hope that they will soon have the pleasure of having him with them again. The Business League held its regular monthly meeting Monday evening, June 9, at the Y. M. C. A. building. The meeting was a very interesting one. It was called League night, early all of the different classes of business and professions were represented, and the speakers aimed to impress their hearers of the grave necessity at this time of devoting their energies in promoting the commercial and business sentiment into the colored people. There was a large and appreciative gathering present and nearly all present took part in the discussion. Register Napier, Messrs. Walton, Moore, Calloway, Lee, Williams and Montgomery took special interest in the meeting. Mr. B. K. Montgomery was elected delegate at large for the District Branch. At the next meeting other delegates will be elected to the National Convention, which will be held in Philadelphia, Pa., in August next. A very encouraging telegram was dispatched to the meeting by Dr. Booker T. Washington, which was read; also a very encouraging letter was read from Dr. L. H. Singleton. The meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the president. MT. CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH Mt. Carmel Baptist Church has just closed a most successful rally, proving that the new pastor, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., is doing a most acceptable work. His recognition by fraternal organizations has been almost phenomenal. Since his arrival here in October he has preached the annual Thanksgiving sermons to six orders and has consented to preach to another during the present month. The following report from the rally is in the hands of the officers of the church. Amounts raised by clubs previous to rally day. $584.92; total amount raised on rally day. $220.54. Grand total raised, $1,804.46. The appointment of Miss Rosa Childs was justifiable. This young lady should have been appointed to the position to which the superintendent appointed her over two years ago. At that time she stood No. 1, and as she made a specialty of the work to which she was recently appointed, and being entitled to it, there is no reason for making unnecessary comments. Ebenezer M.

Colored Clerks in Sixth Auditor's Office Are Told to Use Separate Toilets. The colored clerks and other employees in the Sixth Auditor's office were notified Wednesday morning that they must hereafter use separate taillets. One of the white chiefs in the office, who was notified to give the order to his colored clerks, rebelled and declared that he would not give his colored clerks such an order. This is another dose for alleged Negro Democrats who have and are declaring that the Democratic administration is just what the doctor ordered. Just what the next move will be on the part of the Democratic administration The Bee is unaware. This is one of the most diabolical acts that has ever been inaugurated under the new administration. DR. WASHINGTON TO SPEAK. Doctor Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and industrial Institute, has been invited by Dr. Davidson, superintendent, and Dr. Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent, to deliver the annual address at the joint commencement of the colored high schools on the evening of June 18th. Doctor Washington delivered the same address when it was first decided to have the commencement exercises of the Colored High School, the Armstrong High School, the Manual Training school and Normal School No. 2 at the time and place. SOCIAL SETTLEMENT WORKERS. A Greeting to Mrs. Fernandis.—Many Questions Discussed. The Social Settlement Volunteers of 1903 met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Pendleton Sunday evening to greet Mr. and Mrs. Fernandis. Mrs. Sarah Collins Fernandis, the pioneer social worker of the race was, it will be remembered, the first resident worker in the Washington Settlement. That she was truly a good neighbor is proved by the fact that her name is still a name to conjure with among the residents of South Washington. Mrs. Fernandis placed on a working basis the splendid settlement, at East Greenwich, R. L., and is now doing a similar work in Baltimore, Md. She says that one of the most hopeful signs of the times is the number of young people who eagerly offer their services and the earnestness and enthusiasm with which they work. Those present to meet Mr. and Mrs. Fernandis were Dr. and Mrs. W. P. Evans, Dr. Mary L. Brown' Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton ATTORNEY SCOTT IN RICHMOND. Received a Royal Ovation.—The Young Lawyer Delivered a Brilliant Speech. — Lawyer Armond W. Scott Electrifies the People of Richmond With His Eloquence. Special to The Bee. Richmond, Va., June 10—Lawyer Armond W. Scott, of Washington, D.C., addressed the citizens of Richmond last Sunday afternoon, June 8, at Ebenezer Baptist Church upon the subject. "The Upward March of a Struggleng Race." He was the guest of Williams Lodge, No. 11, of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, and the occasion was the sixth anniversary of that lodge. Williams Lodge should be congratulated upon securing the services of lawyer A. W. Scott and also for the splendid showing which they made upon this occasion. More than two hundred members of Williams Lodge were present in their summer uniforms, consisting of white shoes, white flannel pants and blue coats, and they made a magnificent showing. The beautiful and spacious church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the program was of the highest order of excellence from beginning to end. The address of lawyer A, W. Scott Grand Legal Advisor of the Order was a masterpiece both in rhetoric and oratory, and time after time the audience was convulsed by his eloquence. On every hand can be heard nothing but praise for the speaker who so greatly edified, enthused and instructed the people upon the marvelous progress which the Order of Elks has made during its short existence, and the progress of the race in general, during its half century of freedom. Williams Lodge was so much impressed and captivated by the address delivered by their Grand Legal Advisor that after the exercises were concluded, they marched in a back back to their lodge room, held a business meeting, and unanimously dorsed lawyer A, W. Scott for the position of next Grand Exalted Rul Negro Business League. A Successful Rally. DELLA E. HARRIS Church Clerk Miss Childs. GREAT RALLY.

WOULD AVOID ALL LABOR DISPUTES Industrial Peace Chief Aim of Secretary Wilson. "Capital and Labor Are Partners, and Each Should Have Voice In Determining the Terms," He Says—Doesn't Favor Strikes. Washington.—William Bauchop Wilson, secretary of labor, is a strong, sturdy man, with blond hair, fair face, fighting gray blue eyes and a Scotch accent. He was born at Blantyre, Scotland. April 2, 1862, and came to this country nine years later. Settling with his parents in Tioga county, at Arnot, Pa., he became a mine worker at the age of ten. The following year, just after he had passed his eleventh year, he was made a half member of the Mine Workers' union. He obtained his early education from a small village school and in rough and tumble debates in union meetings. He was elected to the Sixth, Sixty-first and Sixty-second congresses. March 4 he was appointed secretary of the new department of labor. This, briefly, is the story of the man who is the first to hold a particular cabinet office. "What this department hopes to do primarily," said Secretary Wilson, "is to try to bring about such conditions that 'uplift' work in industrial centers will not be needed. We are proceeding on the assumption that capital and labor are partners, capital furnishing the material ready for use and labor the vitalizing force. Capital and labor should each have a voice in determining the terms of the partnership." Secretary Wilson-thinks that a strike is like a war between nations—to be resorted to when all other efforts have failed. "I would not favor a strike if anything else was left for me to do," he PETER H. © 1913, by American Press Association. SECRETARY WILLIAM B. WILSON. sald. "In strikes, as in war, there are destruction and ruin, but there are times when they cannot be avoided. "I look upon the department of labor as a means of helping to bring nearer year by year the goal of social justice. Every man is entitled to the full social equivalent of what he produces. The problem is to arrive at that condition. Capital and labor are partners. "Capital without labor is ineffective labor without capital is idle. Capital is animate; labor gives it life. The one can produce nothing without the employment of the other. To be effective capital and labor must serve each other. Their interests diverge when they come to divide what they have produced. These two elements should sit down together and work out a plan by which the division of profits will be fair, with due regard for the rights of each." It has been feared by advocates of the "open shop" that Secretary Wilson would lean a little closer to organized labor than he should do in this country of all sorts of labor. But he denies that he is to be a union labor officer of the government. He believes that laboring people should organize and that a union labor man, as a rule, is more fit than the nonunion worker. "With the growing industries," said Mr. Wilson, "there is no longer that personal relation between employer and employed that formerly existed. The employer is compelled to deal with larger numbers. The employee as an individual cannot make as factory a contract with the employer as he can when he unites with his fellow workers and fellow men. That is what makes a labor movement necessary. "The department of labor was instituted to obtain by the rule of reason that is, by striking a basis where the employer can compete with rivals and also pay satisfactory wages—a fair and amicable adjustment of all trade disputes. This would be a rule of reason based upon facts. "The purposes for which the department of labor was established will have been accomplished if we can bring capital and labor together upon a just basis." CRAZY WOODPECKERS, THESE. Failing to Find Acorns, They Gather Pebbles For Food. San Francisco--The woodpeckers of Sonoma county are suffering from a mild sort of insanity, according to an erudite document issued by the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of the University of California. The document says: "The reason why California woodpeckers in the vicinity of Sonoma mountain should have stored pebble instead of the customary acorns is a mystery. "We know that instinct works as automatically as an alarm clock. In the failure of an acorn crop it would seem possible that the woodpecker might in reticulately have stored some other available kind of food, but to have chosen stones instead of some sort of food carries the analogy too far "It seems as though any bird with the intelligence of the California wood pecker which would make the same mistake ought to be classed as insane." PASTORS ADOPT EUGENICS. Won't Perform. Marriages For the Physically Unfit. Lynn, Mass.-The Protestant clergymen here (Methodist, Episcopal, Congregationalists and Baptists) have resolved individually to take a stand for the physical fitness of applicants for marriage, and they are to meet to concentrate their energies in behalf of the protection of society. The Rev. C. Thurston Chase of the Central Congregational church, the pioneer in the movement, said: "I have performed my last marriage ceremony in which it will not be necessary for the couple to furnish certificates touching for their physical fitness. "I maintain that a minister should refuse to perform the marriage ceremony when he thinks it should not be performed." WASP STING MAKES POOR CRIPPLE WALK Feels "Hot Needle" Pierce His Ankle and Runs. St. Louis.—Charles Wightman, deputy county clerk at Clayton, told how he had just been able to walk without crutches for the first time in thirty-eight of the forty-two years of his life. He fell when he was four years old and injured both legs peri He said that a neighbor a snake story, just bef bed. It was a tale of ever so many feet long ble number of inches t neighbor had said he br Charles woke up in the morning with the story still in mind. He thought how comfortable it was to live in a country where one could sleep in peace instead of in one of those countries where, he had heard, snakes sometimes creep in and share one's bed. Reveling in the thought, he thrust his right leg deeper under the covers. Then something that stung like a hot needle pierced his ankle. "I sprang out of bed and ran and stumbled twelve feet across the room," he said. "It was the first time I had taken so many steps unassisted since I was a baby." "And was it really a snake?" he was asked: "No. It was a wasp." And he showed the ankle where the sting had swollen it. PRAISES GRAPE JUICE HOST.

NEW UPRISING IN CHINESE REPUBLIC Yuan Shih Kai Aware of Possible Outcome and Moves Troops to Strategic Points—Mandates Issued With Menace Couched In Classical Tones. Peking.—President Yuan Shih Kai has been driven almost into a corner by a concatenation of circumstances which has given to his opponents what they declare to be justification for all their suspicions that he would at some period or other endeavor to dominate in the councils of the nation if not to become dictator or emperor. The murder of Sung Chiao Jen at Shanghai and the signing of the quintuple loan without the authorization of parliament have been seized upon to revile the president and declare him unfit to occupy the high post which many believe he alone can properly fill. To such a white heat has public o. ion got that another revolution is free Shanghai the severest censure is being passed upon the president and the cabinet, and so reckless is the language being used that the municipal authorities in that port recently were compelled to take notice of it and issue an order threatening to arrest and try any editor, publisher, reporter or printer guilty of unrestrained expression of opinion. Yuan Shih Kal regarded the outburst with apparent indifference for some time, but of late he has been moving troops to strategic points and in other ways has indicated that he is alive to the probabilities if he does not show his hand and indicate his intentions. The opposition is coming almost solely from the Kuo Mintang, and, while it seems that they have considerable cause for complaint that republican principles are not being carried out as they should be, they have in a sense spolled their case by the unrestrained ebullitions of their-publicists in Shanghai. Proceeding upon constitutional lines, the Kuo Mintang may have compelled a hearing of their claims, but the attitude adopted by the newspaper they publish in English in Shanghai has alienated most foreign sympathy and has rendered it difficult for the leaders to carry on the campaign they inaugurated. This newspaper has proved fatal to the party. Other newspapers published in Chinese have followed suit, and the result has been the stirring of the people to such an extent that a second revolution is believed to be on the taps. At all events the president is preparing for one, and, in addition to moving troops, he has issued mandates which are intended to indicate what his intentions are. On May 2 he issued two. In the first he describes how the country has just passed through revolution, how "many more followers of the righteous cause" took advantage of the name of revolution "to extort and injure, law abiding people" and how "the constitutional spirit of the country has not yet soundly recovered." He recalls how he has pardoned of fenders who have been guilty of conspiracy, hoping they would repent of their guilty conduct, and describes the situation as "dangerous to the highest degree, the financial strength of the nation being dried up and the people having practically very little to make their lives worth living." In the second mandate morality is described as the foundation of republican government and law the limit, and from that the president goes on to refer to the murder of Sung Chinojen and the signing of the loan. The former he states offers no excuse to suspect the premier-and, as for the latter, it was competent for the governor to sign the loan agreement, the late national council having passed it. ACCUSED OF 25 MURDERS. Missouri Life Prisoner Said to Hava Used an Ax. Leavenworth, Kan.—Twenty-five murders committed with an ax within the last three years in Missouri, Kansas Colorado, Iowa and Illinois are ascribed to Henry Lee Moore, now serving a life term in the Missouri penitentiary according to a theory formed by M. W McClaughry, special agent of the department of justice, after an exhaustive study of the so called ax murders Mr. McClaughry is a son of Warden McClaughry, of the federal penitentiary here and has charge of the bureau of criminal identification at the penitentiary. Moore went to the penitentiary at Jefferson City after being found guilty of the murder of his mother and grandmother, Mrs. Mary Wilson and Mrs. George Moore, at Columbus', Mo., in December last year. Moore, on trial, said he had made a study of famous murders, including the Crippen case in England. AN UNUSUAL MORTGAGE. Farmer Puts Up Chickens, Hogs and Revolver as Security.. Washington, Ga.—There was placed on record in the office of the clerk of Wilkes county what is considered the most unusual mortgage ever recorded in this or any other county. The security named in the recorded instrument consists, of the following valuable property—to wit: "Nine chicken hens, two sow hogs and a 32 caller pistol." The amount of the debt thus secured is $23, and it is provided that if the obligation is not met at maturity the property mentioned therein shall be sold at public outcry. All homestead exemption rights are waived by the maker of the mortgage. The question is being asked, "Does this mortgage emphasize the increasing value of the 'hog and hominy' propaganda, or is it but another indication of the extreme stringency in the land about which so much has been said and written—which?" TABLOID BOOZE IS SERVED IN MAINE One May Carry Whisky or Beer In Vest Pocket. Bangor, Me.—A Maine sheriff might find a barrel of beer or even a jug of whisky, but he can't find a beer lozenges mer carries a considerable stock of the tablets with him for immediate demands and arranges for further and unlimited supplies by mail. Many bars in Bangor, Lewiston and Portland are selling tablol drinks, while it great many men who just must have their whisky or beer when they want it have obtained their own supplies and make their liquor at home while they wait, and the wait is not long Nobody here knows anything about the constituent elements of the tablets but nobody cares so long as they produce something that looks and tastes like liquor. The tablets come in little paper boxes or glass bottles of a dozen each and the price varies. A small phal of one kind of tablets, costing 13 cents dissolved in a gallon of water, with other ingredients costing 50 cents makes a gallon of what passes for whisky—total cost, 63 cents. It is not whisky that would appeal to a connoisseur, for it burns and bites all the way down, but is as near to whisky as a good many people are able to get in some parts of Maine, and it "goes." WHISTLING CAT HAS HARELIP Animal Never Has Mewed, but Is Musical Prodigy. Springfield, Mass.-Stanislaus Czynszy of Prospect avenue, West Springfield, is the owner of a cat with a harelip, which whistles with the facility of a schoolboy, but cannot mew or, at least, never has mewed. Czynszy is inclined to believe that no animal in its normal state of mind would whistle, but is loath to do away with the cat, which, he says, attracts more attention than any other member of the family and is regarded as a musical prodigy. Neighbors have suggested that the cat would prove a treasure to a maker of catgut violin strings. Hen: Lays Tiniest of Eggs. Vancouver, Wash-An egg weighing but fifteen grains, laid by a real live hen, is the property of Mrs. Harvey Alexander of this city. The egg, about half the size of a hazelnut, is but 1-3/8 part of a pound. Mrs. Alexander found an egg with a soft shell, which crushed in when she picked it up, and inside was the small egg, perfect in shape and with a hard shell. 11th Born to 11th of 11th Lawrenceburg, Ind. - An eleventh daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Sillas W.

Senator Dillingham Proposes to Restrict Every Nationality According to Number. Now In This Country—No Action on Bill This Session. Washington.—Senator Dillingham of Vermont has introduced a bill by which he hopes to reduce immigration from southern and eastern Europe and Asia in a more effective way than was provided in the Dillingham-Burnett bill, which President Taft vetoed in the closing days of the last session. Mr. Dillingham, who was chairman of the committee on immigration last session and is now its ranking Republican member, has abandoned the literacy test to which Mr. Taft objected and substituted a provision that immigration from a country in one year should be limited to 10 per cent of the number of natives of that country already domiciled In the United States. This provision would apply to all the world except the western hemisphere. The census returns show that countries of northern Europe, whose citizens are considered particularly desirable as immigrants, have already such heavy representation in the United States that the 10 per cent limit would largely increase the yearly inflow from most of those countries. On the other hand, Mr. Dillingham quotes figures to show that the bill would reduce the immigration of Austro-Hungarians by almost one-third. Greeks one-half, Italians one-third, Portuguese one-seventh, European Turks one-half and Asiatic Turks three-eighths. While Mr. Dillingham admits that his bill is drafted for the express pur- [Image of a man wearing a bowler hat and a suit with a tie. The background is plain white.

SENATOR DILLINGHAM. pose of reducing undesirable immigration, he has sought to provide for the liberal operation of its provisions. Transient visitors are not counted in fixing the limit, nor are those aliens who return to this country after visiting their homes, nor aliens coming even for the first time if their near relatives are already in America. The professional and business classes are altogether exempt from the provisions of the bill, and the secretary of labor is authorized to admit aliens in excess of the 10 per cent limit for humanitarian reasons. "The average annual immigration from Austria-Hungary during the last ten years," said Mr. Dillingham, "has been approximately 220,000, but under the bill immigration from that country would be limited to 167,000 annually, at least until the census of 1920 afforded a new basis for computation. Immigration from Italy has averaged 207,000 annually, but future immigration from that country would be limited to about 134,500; while Greece would be limited to 10,000 as compared with an average of about 20,000 in recent years. Apparently immigration from Turkey would be cut down about one-half. Of all the principal sources of southern and eastern European immigration Russia alone would seem to be little affected, as under the proposed law 173,500 immigrants could be admitted from that country annually as compared with an average annual immigration of 172,500 during the past ten years. "On the other hand, Germany has furnished an average of 35,000 immigrants in recent years and under the proposed law could send 250,000. The United Kingdom could send about 258,000, but has sent an average of 96,000 in the last ten years. In the cases of France, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries the margin is not so large, but it is not believed that the law would in any way affect immigration from such countries." It is not expected that Mr. Dillingham's bill will receive consideration at the present session, but he hopes for nonpartisan support for it next winter. In the meantime he, with other senators who favor it, will work quietly in the interests of the measure. Twenty Years In Cell Unfits Paroled Convict For Real Bed. Topeka, Kan.-Morgan Wright, sent to prison in 1993 from Cowley county for complicity in the murder of a constable and released on parole by Governor Hodges, found that a free bed was so soft he was unable to sleep his first night out of prison. Wright came to Topeka to thank the governor. He is on his way to see his father in Shawnee, Okla., and then will go to California to begin life anew. "I didn't sleep well last night," said Wright to the governor. "It was the first real bed I have slept in for nearly twenty years. "When I left the prison yesterday I didn't know which way to turn or what to do. It was all so new and strange to me. Every one seemed so busy and in such a hurry that I can't quite understand it. Even the school children rushed along the street. But I think if the world is such a busy place that there must be some place for me, and I am going to try to find it." STREET STREWN WITH BILLS. Thought to Be Robber's Plunder by Government Officials. Leavenworth, Kan.-Three postoffice inspectors have begun an investigation of the finding of hundreds of dollars in gold certificates believed to be a portion of $50,000 stolen by Charles Savage from a mall truck in the Union station in Kansas City five years ago. Developments show that persons have been finding the certificates, mostly of the $20 denomination, for a month and have kept the matter secret. It is estimated that at least $1,000 has been picked up in gutters, vacant lots and back yards. All the money was discovered within a radius of eight blocks of the home of a relative of Charles Savage at whose house he stopped before his arrest. One theory of the investigators is that the money was concealed in a tree and dislodged by recent high winds. UNEXPLORED REGION MAY BE A BONANZA Indications That Upper Hayes River Is Rich In Gold. Edmonton, Alberta. — George Gardiner of Ottawa is in Edmonton outfitting for a trek over the trail of romance to the Upper Hayes river district to prospect a gold claim located by a man he believes to have been his uncle on the bank of the Pence river in 1898, during the rush to the Yukon, when this city was made the starting point of the overland trail to the Klondike. The story told here by Gardiner is that during the Klondike rush three prospectors went into the Hayes river country, which, except for a small part along the river near Vermillon, is unexplored. One of the party was found on the river bank a year afterward. The man was emaciated and lived only a few hours, but in his last few minutes of life told of a fight with Indians, who killed his two companions. He had in his possession samples of the richest gold. It could have been procured in no other place, so it may be that unexplored territory is rich in the yellow metal. Though the hinterland has been explored to points within the arctic circle, the Upper Hayes river country still remains a vast unknown stretch. Remarking upon the fact, an old timer in the north country said he had never known of a white man getting far into that part of the country. From Edmonton to Peace river crossing by way of Athabasca is 400 miles, and outside of about a fifty mile stretch beyond Peace river crossing and the Upper Hayes still lies a great unexplored land of rolling and, so far as is known, open country. It is inhabited by the Dog Ribs tribe of Indians. The territory runs clear through to the mountains on the British Columbia side, and it is supposed that a large number of "bad Indians" have settled in there. HORSE LEADS TO CROOKS' DEN Police Follow Unguided Animal to Resort of Thieves. Spokane. Wash.-After a horse had led detectives to a house occupied by two men already under bond because of larceny charges warrants were issued charging the two men with attempts to rob. The horse had been left behind in a lumber yard when Detective Benway shot at the men and in return was shot through the left leg. The horse, attached to the wagon, was turned loose and, followed by the two detectives, went to a house in the suburbs that the police alleged was occupied by the men named in the warrants. Ram Grows Oat Crop. Gallon, O.—In addition to a fine coat of wool, a ram owned by David Lynch, a farmer, has a covering of flourishing oats. The ram wallowed around in a straw stack and got oats in his wool. Then it was rained on. Next the sun shone brightly. This continued several days, with the result that the oats sprouted. Lynch calculates that in case of drought he can save this crop of oats since if the rain won't come to the crop he can move the crop to the rain. TO IIE PEER Meg SR Bg gaa -o.

Or coming down to the effect of Christ's death as respects the forgive ness of sins, sald the Pastor, how few have any serlous conviction that thes need a Saylor, or that they could not come to God. If they wished to, without a Redeemer, without a sacrifice, with out an Advocate with the Father! I would appear as though the attempt o the last fifty years to ignore doctrines instead of correcting the doctrines o! the past in the present light on the BI ble has been a great mistake, which !- now bearing ite-tnjurious fruit in tha very few Christlan people know det nitely what they believe or what th Bible fences on any subject. ; The effect of all this on tho’ ristas Generation Is disastrous.

The Now Factor—Education. ‘The Pastor dectared that be well un- derstands the attitude of the rich and the learned. and how they discount the prospects of a social revolution, Rea- soning by analogy from the world’s experiences In the past, many of the worldiy-wise say, “We are amenable to the laws, and the laws will upbold us and will take care of those disposed to anarchy. Revolution may not come: the struggle may be altogether avoid ed; but If it come to the worst, bralnx and money will surely rule. If it shall be necessary to shoot down in cold blood some of the anarchleally disposed ‘we shall be sorry, but we see no other way.

All this {s chanz ed now. The masses are not only able ta read and write, and capable of & ereising their reasoning faculties, but they are alert as never before In the world’s history.

Is It asked, Who are these nnt! typical priests? We reply in the lan guage of St Peter, “Ye are a Royal Priesthood. an holy nation, a peculiar People: that ye should ‘show forth the praises of Him who bath called you out of darkness into His marvelous Ught."—1 Peter 2:9. ‘ . In other words, the Royal Priesthood are the true, salntly people of God, not of sectarlanistn and the creeds and churchlanlty. ‘They are not a clerical class, although, thank God! some of the clergy may be amongst them.

Information reaches The Bee to the effect that a certain high church man has entered into a deal or was asked to enter into a deal with certain white Demo- crats to have a pretext to have “Jim Crow” cars in the District of Columbia. This church man is to call a meeting of the colored people in his denomination ap- pealing to Congress to pass a “Jim Crow” car law in the Dis- trict of Columbia. ‘This informa- tion was given The Bee by a prominent minister connected with the denomination. If such a movement is inaugurated by Negroes; or thosé Negroes, who allege that. they are Democrats, they should be branded as trait- ors to the colored race. “What Negro would be so base, so cow- ardly and so mean to enter into a deal to degrade his race? Such a Negro. would not only degrade himself, but he would degenerate the race and blast the memory of his dead ancestors. Tf the information The Bee has in its possession be true, its readers shall have the full. bene- fit of it and this traitor shall be branded as thee Julius Iscariot and the Benedict Arnold of the race. The Bee is not surprised at what the these so-called Ne- gro,democrats will do. They are hungry for jobs. They would sell their birthright for a toad’s foot. No human being is safe. A Ne- gro who inslsts on declaring in - favor of the democratic party in the face of these declarations of inaugurating segregation laws is either a fool or, he is insane. There niust be 2 deal between certain alleged Negro democrats and certain white democratic bosses. Any Negro who now de- clares in favor of the democratic party should be caged for insan- ity. With all of the Negroes al- leged loyalty to the so-called prin- ciples of the democratic party, he is father behind today than he has been since his emancipation. We hear no more of these wide mouth agitators who were so prevalent under the republican administration. We read no more fire brand articles in certain jour- nals published by Negroes against the republican managers. Negro bishops, Negro ministers, who went insané~ deenouncing President Taft and the republican party are now asleep. Their tongues are silent on existing out- rages and declarations of segre- gating the colored race. What have become of them? Are they too expecting jobs? Have they been bribed with promises? Cer- tainly they have entered into a conspiracy and joined the body of conspirators to scll all of the Ne- gro race. The sacrifices the Ne- gro soldier made to uphold and to perpetuate this republic will be forgotten by posterity. Upon her walls will be written traitor ; none occupy these archives and those who once upheld the honor and the integrity of the American re- “public are no more. Their mem- ory, their deeds and their valor were rewarded by the enemies of a great republic. If there is a deal between Ne- Gro traitors and the democratic party, the world should know it. The Bee has not lost hope. It is looking for the day of retribution when the enemies of a struggling race will be .dead and justice -emns.* COLORED CLERKS SEGRE- GATED. - 5 It will rie doubt be suprising to the-people of this country to be informed that the colored clerks GIES, Rees sete. THOSE WHO ARE REWARDED FOR VICTORIES, “Of what consequence is it to us, whether our chains are forged by enemies or our-fellow citizens?’ Let the Patricians, since they alone are rewarded for victories, encounter the danger of wars.” f Thus Roman tyranny and oppression were rebuked, The poor of ‘Rome suffered long enough the stings and oppressions of war, The rich enjoyed the fruits of victories, while those who fought to up- hold the Republic were oppressed. The rich and the so-called aristocrats can only plead for the assistance of those who can and will defend a Republic when they are invaded. All whjte people in the country are not alike. God forbid if they were. It is trie that the colored Americans are oppressed by the Poorer classes of whites, who imagine themselves superior to the colored races. The well reared and the well cultured white man or woman doesn't think himself or herself superior to those below them, or maybe in poor circumstances, or because he or she looks better than himself, All of this race discrimination and segrega- tion are instigated by the poor white classes. The sensible, white man knows that no person can force himself socially:in the com- pany of another without his permissiém. If you will compare some of the girls with those of the poor white classes you will readily see where the trouble is. This race segregation never was heard of until in recent years. The+colored American is more refined and more highly educated than,he was during the war of the rebellion. He was the pet of the-master. He was respected” and trusted in his household. Why has he become so objectionable now? As a slave he was uncouth and unrefined. As a civilized being he is mistrusted and is told by the inferior whites that he must admit his inferiority to them. It is objectionable to the white man and woman to have d colored man and woman to sit beside them. This objection’ comes from the common and uneducated white man and woman, oo : In some sections of this country the colored man is objectionable to the army. Mr. Josephus Daniels doesn’t want the colored man in the navy, and why? The Governor of New York, who is a fit man to be President of the United States, signed a bill, after it had passed the Legislature of his State, establishing a colored regiment. The colored American must continue to look to the North for pro- tection and to the.Catholic Church. : There is too much ‘religious hypocrisy in the American white man’s religion. The American white man will protect dogs and kill colored Americans. They will protect cats and at the.same ‘ime off..d humanity. This is an evidence of the white man’s Christian religion in America. They will go to church and pray all day and lead a lynching mob at night. It is the so-called poor white Christian who is causing so much trouLle. When the white man can realize that there is but God and, we are one people, created by God, he will have some regard for the Christian religion. “The white man never calls upon the colored American for help only when he is oppressed or his dominion is invaded by thé foe. The North had respect for the colored soldier until it was convinced that it was a necessity. Notwithstanding the seeming race preju- dice and: this alleged segregation talk, the colored American is not disturbed; he proposes to follow the declaration and senti- ment of the “plebian.” The black man has concluded, unless he is treated right, to allow the white man to bear his own burdens. The South has declared against him, while the insane, alleged Ne- gro Democrat endorses the propaganda. The office hunter among the so-called colored Democracy is willing to betray his race to satisfy a selfish ambition.

All colored-em- ployces, women and men, ‘have been given this order of segrega- tion, separation and discrimina- tion, under a government known as the home of the brave and the free. There are over ten millions of.colored Americans in this coun- trf. Will they tamely submit to such discrimination without a protest? Does the administra- tion endorse this order of dis- crimination and segregation of its employees? What has become of Bishop Alexander Walters, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Napoleon Marshall, James A. Ross, J. Frank Wheaton, Fenton Peyton, E. M. Hewlett, Rev. L. C. Moore, and all other alleged Negroes who have recently allied themselves to the democratic party? Where will this discrimination end? What will the administration do to put an end to all of this discrimina- tion? Does the administration endorse the action of the 6th Au- ditors’ office? Are colored Amer- icans to be humiliated and _de- graded under this administration? Some of the most cultured and highly educated colored men in the United States may be found in the 6th Auditor's office. You will find colored men far superior to any white man in this office. The greatest Negro bookkeeper in the United States, Dr. George H. Richardson, long since re- signed a $16,000 clerkship in that office." It is a Godsend that he did resign when he did. We could mention dozens of clerks in the office now whose truth, education 'and reasoning far surpass those from whom the recent order has separated them. The time has come for the black man to exercise his manhood and cease being“a e-vard, because he holds a government job. This is indeed the most humilitating act that has ever been perpetrated. Mr. President, this is under your administration, do you endorse it? * DEADHEADS. The Bee was compelled last week to place upon its deadhead list the names of 180 persons te whom bills had been sent several times for non-payment of their subscription. The postal laws will not permit the management ot The Bee to carry dead subscrib- ers or persons who refuse to pay their subscriptions. If The Bec is worth reading it is worth pay- ing for. The free list has long since been suspended. Hence, if you desire the paper kindly send the money with your order to the office, because no paper will be sent unless it is paid for in ad- ance. Those who are now in- debted or have recently sub- scribed are \requested to mail their check or postal money or- der at once.

In this age of activity and progres- sion it is pleasing to note that our ‘public school teachers are not lacking in the spirit of the age This is evi- denced by the fact that four of them on the campus of Howard University teceived degrees from the several de- partments in which they were en- rolled. Among them was Miss Mary F. Quander, of Fairmount Heights. D. ©. who received the degree of Pd.B. from the Teachers’ College. Miss Quander's persistent effort, in spite of the many difficulties to be over- come, and the many sacrifices to be made, shows the material of which our teachers are made, and fugnishes an example of success that might well be ‘emulated. . Fairmount Heights is in full ap- nreciation of the worth and ability of Miss Quander, which is shown by the respect. good will and confidence that are constantly evidenced. : May she spend many years in our midst and further endear herself to us by renewed zeal in promoting the in- terest of the community.

But getting back on You Street, that's the Avenue de Nig; as I hit the trail along about half way between Vermont and Tenth, I heard some loud talking. I hurried 'up to in- vestigate, and by the time I pulled up a certain lady T know was wading into her esteemed hubbie with a club, and the bunch of hobblé skirt she caught him with went tearing over You Street and turned up Tenth at a speed that would mike the Pennsylvania Limited scem like a slow freight. I stood and watched the fracas for about two min- utes, for it was soon over, but, take it from me, the way that woman ploughed into her husband's ribs and het” up his head with that club was a caution, Both of them recognized me, but I was mum as an oyster. I never was “caculated” to start any kind of an argument when a man and his wife were peacefully combatting each other's propensities for starting trouble. They finally moved off to- gether, the wife doing some emphatic conversational stunts, and the hubbie observing a golden silence, to Eleventh Street, and I saw them turn in Elev- enth: The next day Mr. Hubbie hunt- ed me up, and after throwing five or six diolomatic cocktails, made with the essence of grape juice standing near, into me, he made me promise I would never mention the affair.

But he will, by and by, when he feels like it. But he is a little slow about it just because he’s too busy, And, speaking about Horner reminds me that my old life-long friend, Rev. Corrothers, has! also got it in the neck. Bishop Walters is kinder jealous of Corrothers. That mauve-complexioned minister, who has been working the washerwomen of Gal- braith into a religious sweat for a num- ber of years, came mighty near landing a soft berth in the bishopric feather- bed last year in spite of Bishop Wal-| ters. Now, you know Bishop Walters’ popularity, “since he made a fluke in fining up for Wilson, is away down be- low pag. He knows that in another year the dogs are going after .him so strong he will forget even his lung powers, so he felt, J reasbny‘that he'd better begin hedging himself off, and the best thing to do, would be to re- move Corrothers, from this bailiwick.

At the same time he reasons that a wise man changes, but a fool never changes.

There was a good at- tendance. The Bible Class became the “banner class.” Children's day arrangements were still further carried out. The morning was bright and cheery. The collection was good. + The™ morning service seemed to bring: with it fresh inspiration. With the usual organ voluntary the serv- ice was opened. There was an excel- lept congregation on hand. The -de- votional portion of the service, in’ which there was glorious congrega- tional singing, led by the choir, pre- ceded a forcefully delivered sermon by Pastor Powell, who took his text from II Cor, 9:15. The subject, “The Gift of Gifts,” was well discussed. ‘This was communion Sunday, usu- ally an interesting day, and when the night meeting was over a “Sabbath well spent” had passed. At night Pastor Powell took as a subject for the occasion “A Trip t Richmond, Va.” in which he told of his recent visit there to the State Convention of Baptists. At Galloway M. E.

After the teachers were’ through the superintendent, Mrs. Susie Allen, gave an instructive talk to the large girls of the school. Rev. Dr. Colbert preached at the 11 o'clock morning service. In the after- noon there was a grand sermon preached to the Odd Fellows of this place by Rev. T. P. Thomas, a for- mer pastor of Galloway M. E. Chapel. ‘The Household of Ruth was also in attendance with the brethren. ‘There was a fair representation of the foilges from Vienna, Halls Hill, and other places. Mr. William West, of Vienna, and Mr. Daniel Ferguson, frbm Halls Hill, lifted the collection, which was $18.10.. The church choir furnished the music.

So, after he had order- ed all the Exyptians to leave the room, he made himself known, saylog. “I am Joseph, whom ye sold into Egypt.” We can well imagine the consterna- tion of the brethren. But Joseph. full of true sympathy and pity, bastened to set them at case. He did not even chide them for their wrongdoing, re alizing that sin had already brought Its punishment, Alas, bow few ‘Christians under similar cir- cumstances would have been so noble!

In the better light now shining from one page of the Bible to another. God’s people see that Messiah pur- poses that Israel shall obtain Divine mercy and forgiveness, in the Millen- nial Kingdom. Instead of their being punished with an eternity of torture, the Lord will be gracious to them. As He declares, “I will pour upon them the spirit of Brace and of supplication.” How beau- tiful, and how much In harmony with our typical lesson of today! Joseph's ten brethren apparently typified Ismmel. as the Egyptlans typified the Gentiles. as Benjamin typified the Great Com- pany, and as Josepb typified the Mes- sianic-class, the Elect. of whom Jesus is the Head, and the overcominz Church’ the Body. Joseph Was Long Misunderstood, Joseph's brethren failed to under stand him—so great was the difference between their characters and his, Ever after they bad become ‘more sympa. thetic and tender-hearted, they had still a sufficiency of bitterness of spirit and of animosity that, had they beer in Joseph's place, they would have seen that somehow or other future punishments would have been metec out. They were, therefore, surprise by Joseph's words of brotherly kind ness and sympathy, and unable to be eve that he meant it.

He thought of the district styled Gosh en as very suitable for them, being « cattle-grazing locality.

He sent a special message to his father, and urged baste In com ing into Egypt. Then he kissed them all goodby, saying: “Fall Not Out by the’Way.” Evidently Joseph was a keen obserr erof human nature. Many would bare thought It unnecessary to caution the brethren against disputes amonzs' themselves under all the circum stances. Many would have said, "They will be so overjoyed that love will pre vall nmongst them. and no disputes” ‘The contrary, however, is often true When prosperity comes, there are op portunities to feel more or less envy and selfishness.

Just a prayer or two for the boys in blue who are struggling in old age, Who are feeble now, and a younger set seeks to rule them off the stage; Let the nation say we have found a way that will be a help indeed, So the brave old boys may be at ease and may know no want or need. Let us flowers strew over the boys in blue far and wide among their graves, Strew them thick and deep, where the brave boys sleep, for they freed four million slaves. They have fought their fight, and their cause was right, so they rest now ‘neath the sod, . For the good they’ve done, for the battles won, let us lift our hearts to God, Just a tear or two for the boys in blue who have fought and bled and died, Who are sleeping now on some bat- tlefield with their brothers side by side; . Who are waiting there with boys in gray for the great and last roll call, Let us hope they may at the judg: ment day proudly march in one and all. While we are commemorating the “fallen braves,” we would do well. tc speak a good word for the living braves, generally known as the sepa- rate battalion. ‘For it has been just a few months since there was a das- tardly attempt to, have them dropped out of the ranks permanently.

Xerxes Made Mount Athos an island. Mount Athos is unlikely ever to be turned into an island again, as it was by Xerves. The canal which he cut through the isthmus was regarded as a myth even in the time of Juvenal, but traces of it are still in existence. One circumstance of its construction, recorded by Herodotus, may help to explain why it was a three years' business to cut this canal of less than twelve furlings. Nearly all the peoples employed by Xerxes dug straight down, with the result that the sides continually fell in, thus doubling their work. The Phoenicians, with their superior intelligence, began excavating at a breadth much greater than the canal itself was to occupy, so as gradually to narrow with a convenient slope as they dug down. London's Street Traffic It was not until about thirty years ago that London's existing system of regulating traffic at street corners was instituted.

To the figure and graces of the horse it adds the elegance of the stag, and the black and white bands with which its body is ornamented are arranged with such wonderful symmetry that we might almost be disposed to imagine that rule and compass had been employed in their formation. These alternate bands are narrow, parallel and exactly separated. They extend not only over the body, but the head, thigh and legs and even over the ears and tail. They follow so exactly the contour of the different forms that they exhibit the entire figure in the most advantageous point of view. In the female these bands are alternately black and white. In the male they are black and yellow, but always of a lively and brilliant tint. They also rest upon a ground of short, fine and copious hairs, whose lusser considerably augments the general beauty of the colors—Exchanga. Our Wonderful Eyes Is there anything so wonderful as the eye? No matter how cold the weather may be, the eye never falls. In the wildest of blizzards, when the thermometer registers many degrees below zero, when the feet and fingers freeze, when the throat freezes, when even the torso, swathed in sweaters and chamois skin vestings," freezes; when the nose and ears are frost bitten, when the hair even crackles in the blast—when all is lost apparently, the eyes suffer no pain, but continue to perform their normal functions. The people of the most inclement, most frigid regions of the extreme north bundle up everything but their eyes. The eyes are never frostbitten. They seem to suffer only in a strong wind which carries in its current some irritating substance. And yet, notwithstanding this, the eyes are the most sensitive of our several organs. Banking the Fire. Banking the fire is a very simple process. It is easier to bank a fire than to bank anything else we know of.

Nothing of beauty dies without having purified something, nor can aught of beauty be lost. Let us not be afraid of sowing it along the road. It may remain there for weeks or years, but like the diamond it cannot dissolve, and finally there will pass some one whom its glitter will attract. He will pick it up and go his way rejoicing. Then why keep back a lofty, beautiful word, for that you doubt others will understand? An instant of higher goodness was impending over you. Why hinder its coming even though you believe not that those about you will profit thereby? What if you are among the men of the valley, is that sufficient reason for checking the instinctive movement of your soul toward the mountain peaks?—Maurice Maeterlinck ATT'YGEN.MAKES WAR ON 7 TRUSTS McReynolds Takes Steps to Renew Fight. MAY REOPEN OLD CASES. Oil, Tobacco' and Anthracite Combines. Patten Corner in Cotton, New Haven Railroad, Telephone and Smelter Monopolies Will Be Subject of Inquiries—Investigators at Work. Washington.—Attorney General McReynolds intends to prosecute most vigorously all corporations and individuals suspected of violating the antitrust law. The attorney general has begun and is directing several important investigations which may lead to new or renewed prosecution of those who, Mr. McReynolds has reason to believe, are breaking or evading the Sherman law. His investigators are looking into the affairs of— First—James A. Patten and other alleged to have formed a pool in cotton on the New York market. Second—The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad transportation monopoly in New England, as it is termed. Third—The telephone trust which it is charged, exists in the states of Washington and Oregon. Fourth—The American Smelter and Refining company, especially with respect to its control of the Federal Smelter company and its acquisition of that company's stock. Fifth—The American Tobacco company. The attorney general is dissatisfied with the decision the government ob- [Image of a man in a suit and bow tie, wearing a bowler hat.] tained in the United States supreme court. He wishes to test the law again to learn if the order for the company's dissolution cannot be made more effective. The company's retail cigar stores are maintained under the first decision Sixth. The Standard Oll company. The renewed action contemplated against this company would be based on the charge that it has not complied with the United States supreme court's order directing it to dissolve into its constituent companies. The decrees in this case have all been handed down and the lower federal court has approved the dissolution plan presented by the company. The contempt, which may be charged, would lie in the alleged failure by the company officers to obey strictly the dissolution plan agreed on. Seventh. - The anthracite carrying railroads and their allied coal mining companies for their 65 per cent carrier contracts with the independent mining companies. These contracts were held to have been in violation of law, but the decision was modified later by the supreme court so as to exclude a number of the contracts. Mr. McReynolds is moving to enforce the anti-trust laws on the assumption that congress will give him all the money necessary for the work. Officials of the Taft administration contended that they were embarrassed by the failure of congress to appropriate $60,000 to enable them to conclude pending investigations. Mr. McReynolds is working now under the appropriation then allowed to Attorney General Wickersham. Before its adjournment congress could make a deficiency appropriation for the department of justice should it become necessary The department has not asked for more money yet. Eugenica Conference In Orange Eugeneis Conference in Orange. Orange, N. J.-The ministers of the Oranges have asked the physicians there to take part in a conference which is to be held on June 16 in the parish house of Grace Episcopal church here, on the advisability of urging regulations requiring health certificates from those about to be married. The invitation was received by the Orange Medical society in a letter from the Ministerial association of the Oranges which asked the medical men to send reports to the conference. Destined For Flames, Wind Claims Remains of Joaquin Miller. Oakland, Cal.-The ashes of Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the Slerras," were scattered among the flames of a funeral pyre built by the poet's own hands. The ceremony was held at the Miller home, the Heights, in the picturesque hills near Oakland. The Bohemian club of San Francisco had charge of the rites, which were witnessed by more than 500 persons, including the poet's widow and daughter, Juanita, and many old time friends. The services, short and impressive, were in accordance with Miller's dying wishes. At their conclusion Colonel John P. Irish of Oakland mounted the steps of the pyre. "This." said Colonel Irish, "is not an occasion for mourning, but for rejoicing. We are here not to mourn the death of Jouquin Miller, but to rejoice that through his genius he still lives." Colonel Irish then applied a torch to the oil soaked fagots on the pyre. As the flames shot up he took the copper urn containing the poet's ashes and gave them to the fire. Instantly a jealous wind whipped the ashes from the fames and bore them away. SPOOK PROPHECY FAILS. Millionaire Dies Fourteen Years Before "Ghost Advice" Date. Denver--Alonzo Thompson, eighty-one years old, millionaire, spiritualist and war time auditor of Missouri, who believed ghostly advices that he could not die before he was ninety-five years old, is dead. For six weeks Mr. Thompson's belief in his imagined span of life supported him in resisting pneumonia and an incidental operation for removal of a rib. A year ago his declaration that his "guides" told him his wife and son were conspiring to get his fortune led to Mrs. Thompson's divorce decree. The millionaire, although three times married, was planning to follow his "guides" into a fourth matrimonial venture. CHILD'S NEW MOUTH SURGICAL TRIUMPH Flesh Grafted From Abdomen Forms Lips and Chin. Baltimore. — After many weeks of treatment the rebuilding of a little girl's chin and the restoration of her mouth to normal proportions after they had been terribly distorted by burn have been completed at the Johns Hopkins hospital here. The child's clothing had taken fire while she was playing about a gas stove, and the flesh on her face was seared to such an extent that when the wound healed only a small hole was left where the mouth had been. So small was the opening that the little finger could be inserted with difficulty. Nothing was left of the chin but the bone and a covering of scarred flesh. The child's mother offered all the skin necessary for grafting, but the surgeon decided on another plan. A large flap of flesh was cut from the child's abdomen, one side being left attached to the body. Then a silt was made in the arm of the patient sufficiently large to allow the insertion of the raised end of the flesh of the abdomen. This was done to establish circulation in the abdominal flesh. After weeks that part of the flesh attached to the abdomen was cut and the child's arm with the flap of flesh growing to it was raised and the part that formerly had been joined to the abdomen was joined to the lips and chin from which the seared flesh had been cut. For weeks blood flowed from the child's arm into the bridge of flesh from the abdomen and then into the chin and lips. When circulation had been established the child's arm was cut from her chin and allowed to return to its normal place. The new flesh was then attached to the chin. A small hole had been cut in it to allow the child to be fed. Later a mouth was cut in the mass of flesh and then the chin was rounded out. When the child was discharged from the hospital she could eat, talk and move her jaws as well as any of her companions. It is only upon close examination that the new chin can be discovered.

There are two "dark days" mentioned in the annals of New England. The first occurred on Oct. 21, 1716, when it suddenly became so dark soon after noon that the people were forced to use artificial lights to do their ordinary work. This strange condition of the atmosphere lasted about three and a half hours. Again, on May 19, 1780, there was a remarkable darkening of the atmosphere, but the phenomenon did not come on so suddenly as that upon the earlier date. The darkness in this latter instance began between 10 and 11 u'clock on the morning of the day named and lasted throughout the day. The darkness extended from the northeastern part of New England westward as far as Albany and southward to Pennsylvania. The most intense and prolonged darkness, however, was confined to Massachusetts, more especially to the seaboard. It is said to have come from the southwest, but there is no mention of it made in the history of Ohio or the Virginias. The exact cause still remains one of the unexplained mysteries. "Warned Off" the Turf. To be "warned off" is the most severe sentence that can be imposed on any one in England connected with the turf. Not only does it debar a man from owning, training or riding horses, but until the committee decides to revoke the punishment prevents him even from showing himself on any race course. This is so owing to the fact that the decision of the national hunt committee is registered automatically by the racing authorities in France and Ireland and of course by the Jockey club. Like the national hunt committee, the stewards of the Jockey club also reserve to themselves the right of summoning any rider whom they suspect of sharp practices or even carelessness to appear before them and, unless the explanation given proved satisfactory, to "suspend" Rivalry In Prayer. Turkish dignitaries comport themselves toward European representatives how otherwise than some of them formerly did. Sir Henry Layard tells an amusing encounter between Charles Allison, then chief interpreter at the British embassy, and the grand vizier, so whom Sir Stratford Canning had sent him on important business. In the middle of a discussion the Turk rose from his seat and said his prayers on a carpet spread by an attendant, concluding with the curse on all Christians very emphatically uttered, and going through the motion of spitting over his right and left shoulders in abhorrence. Allison was equal to the occasion. Presently he, too, left off business to pray in a corner, doing it in Turkish and invoking curses on all followers of Islam. To the scandalized Paashn he explained that Christians also had their religious duties, and he had no doubt the formal curses of their prayers meant as little as the Mohammedan's. --- The Typewriter without a Speed Limit & BROS. alter LONG WEARING with permits the carriage te so instantaneously that no all bearing type bars, a car- s, a capital shift key requir- e, a combined one-motion h spaces one, two or three the lightest possible carriage that makes all day speed inary printing point, back space keys, and makes the hands from with accuracy in the literature today.

"Temple Hosannas" made Children's Day with the First Baptist Sunday School at Vienna one grand period of literary and musical delight. The exercises were to begin at 3 o'clock p. m., but was one hour late. Well, we suppose "Reporter" was to blame for that; and during that whole hour over seventy children and young people rendered this most pleasing program in such a happy and creditable manner, together with a large gathering of people were held in anxious suspense. We didn't intend this. We just got left at the station—that's it. But when we did reach Vienna we didn't wait for the car to stop, but jumped right off and began running, and right into a committee headed by Superintendent Neal, who was waiting for us at the station. We hurried on to the church and found the edifice filled to overflowing. Bro. Neal led the way up the aisle, and when this waiting crowd of anxiety saw us there was given by them, spontaneously, one prolonged outburst of hand-clapping, welcome smiles and happy "good afternoons" that made us feel truly grateful and glad. Indeed, it was like unto an "ovation." But no time to stop. Right into the program we plunged. The processional was grand, and the singing exalting. The program lasted two hours. Song, recitation and dialogue, as well as special exercises, kept the large audience interested until the closing point was reached. Among those little folks who recited so excellently may be named Master Flemming Bell, Misses Sarah Monroe, Nellie Haney, Gertrude Carter, Irene Monroe, Estella Jackson, Frances Jackson, May Brooks, Little Master Earl Wright, Misses Helen Pollard, Elvira Carter, Anna Bell, Helen Harrod, Lucy Hughes; and the little gentlemen, Joseph Dean, Benjamin Henderson, Otis Harper, Howard Payne, and so many others for whom we have not the space to mention. The Misses Mabel Henderson and Marie West led a class exercise splendidly and, besides, gave excellent recitations. A trio of young misses, whose names we failed to get, sang beautifully a song of "Galilee." Mrs. Wright sang most sweetly a solo, besides reading a paper on "Relation of Sunday School to the Church." A really beautiful quartette was sung by the two Mrs. Hendersons, Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Grace Borgus, which brought down applause. One especially grand feature rendered by seven young ladies in this magnificent program was an "Emblematic Piece" entitled "The Fountain of Life," in which the characters "Pilgrim," "Education," "Ambition," "Wealth," "Music," "Mercy" and "Hope" were represented by Misses Blanche Honesty as "Pilgrim" and Misses Annie Bell, Grace Taylor, Marietta Frye, Elsie Jackson, Ger- trude Carter and' Ora Williams the remaining characters. In this piece a fountain representation, with a large cross just back of it, covered in exquisite arrangement with flowers, was used. So tastefully placed was this creation that it entered most fittingly into the already elaborate decorations with which the entire pulpit and choir end of the church was filled, gladdening the hearts of us all, and at the same time giving a sacred air to the occasion. Indeed, so well planned did the whole affair show itself as to give to Superintendent Neal, with his able corps of officers and teachers, high recommendation to the parents and people, of this community as proper guardians and spiritual leaders of the children here entrusted to their care. But, listen! The collection was equal also to the hour—$21.65 being raised. Mrs. William West presided on this great occasion and handled the program well. More about this school next week. The series of rally sermons at the Union Baptist Church commenced Sunday. Rev. J. N. Beaman preached at 11 o'clock a. m. and Rev. E. M. Burrell, of Takoma Park, preached at 3 o'clock and 8 o'clock p. m. These meetings will continue until the second Sunday in July. Several members of Lodge No. 3,466, G. U. O. of O. F., attended the annual sermon of the Falls Church lodge Sunday at 3 p. m. Mrs. Samuel Harris, after a lengthy visit to her mother, Mrs. Brown, of Falls Church, has returned to her suburban home near this place. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carter are happy over the recent visit to their home of the "stork." Miss Blanche Honesty was the guest Sunday of Mrs. Blanche Payne. Miss Bessie Reddick, who so crediably completed the term of the public school here; made a host of friends while stopping at "Sunshine Cottage," the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. West. Miss Reddick was "honor guest" at 4 o'clock tea with Mrs. Borgus before department. Those present were Mrs. Grace Thompson, Mrs. West, Mrs. Dean, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Payne and Mrs. J. Henderson. The residence of Mr. Tyfus Jackson, Jr., was damaged to some extent recently by fire. But for the prompt action of Mr. Silas Borgus and Mr. Earnest Dobson, this large family of motherless children would have been homeless. Mrs. Mattie Buckner, of Niagara Falls, N. Y., was a welcome visitor to Mr. Borgus and other relatives Wednesday. Miss Minnie Taylor and Mr. Wm. Brent, of Dunn Loring, were visitors of Mrs. Borgus Sunday. Mrs. Marshall Patterson is further improving her palatial residence on West Avenue by adding thereto a large piazza. MR. COSTON'S LETTER Ex-Lieut. Carmouche Encloses It. Colored Men Make Good Soldiers. Will the Colored Man Be Wanted In War-Again? Editor The Bee: Captain W. Hilary Coston's letter to the Secretary of War which appeared in your newsy paper, The Bee, of May 31st, is a blow in the right direction. Rev. Coston was Chaplain of our regiment, the 9th U. S. V. Infantry, that did good service in Cuba in 1898-99. He is fully conversant with the facts and feelings of colored men in regards to all of this white officers business in regards to commanding colored men in time of war. It is all "rot" to suppose that colored men make better soldiers when officered by white men than when he is officered by his own people. Colored men make as good soldiers if not better soldiers under command of colored officers than he does under white officers. This information is from personal knowledge and observation, without bias or prejudices, not only as a first liteutenant in the 9th U. S. V. Infantry, but of what I was surprised to see in San Louis, Cuba, in September, 1898, when we met the 8th Illinois V. I, and the 23d Kansas at that place. Both regiments, all colored, from John R. Marshal as colonel of the 8th Illinois, down to the last private in those two "fighting machines." It is fully for any one to suppose that those two colored regiments was not better systematized in the affairs of their regiments than we were, the 9th U. S. V. Infantry from Louisiana, simply officered by 1st and 2d liteutenants, colored, all other officers up were white. It relieved a great pressure off my mind when I saw the discipline, conduct and general efficiency of those colored men as soldiers doing their full duties under all colored officers. The division hospital of the 8th Illinois and 23d Kansas at San Louis was a Godsend to me, as I stated in a letter to my wife, sent her from said hospital on September 26, 1898. Their care of the sick was wonderful and it is due to the promptness of Colonel John R. Marshal and his efficient staff of the medical corps, acting under the supervision of Major Surgeon Allen W. Wesley, that I am a "live one" today. To use a common phrase, they had our regiment officered by white men "skinned to death." The main point of this article is, That frank and timely letter of Captain W. H. Coston to the Secretary of War relative to "reducing to the smallest minimum the efforts which will be made to prevent colored citizens from doing service under the folds of "Old Glory by the leaders of the race." How far a colored man, who done more than his full share, except dying or getting killed, of duty for "Old Glory," from December, 1897, to January and February, 1898, in organizing, by mass meetings and otherwise, at his own expense, personal expense, not one cent paid by the government or anyone else, the colored men of Ascension, St. James, Asscumption and Iberville Parishes, Louisiana, for his company in our war with Spain and went to Cuba with his company so organized, should or should not go, in advising the men of his race on this most serious question of fighting for "Old Glory"?

Interesting Development of the Washington Conservatory of Music, the Only School of Music Founded, Conducted and Maintained by Colored People in America. The fourth annual commencement marks an important epoch. Ten years has this art school struggled with lofty ideals to contribute something to the cultural education of the race and to the proper recognition of the possibilities of the greatest talent, music, as found in its beautiful folk songs. Thirty-six certificates have been awarded and two diplomas, representing the entire conservatory course. The requirements of which are in each two studies with harmony, history, ear training, analysis and methods. The course in methods and practice teaching have been lengthened. Practice teachers are sent to homes of children. This is considered very important as the progress of this profession is much retarded by poor teachers who are ruining the possibilities of the child and causing the parent to waste money. For the past three years the working force has been inadequate and one of the most important departments has been closed as the expenses would have been from one thousand to fifteen hundred more than the income. Therefore an endowment is necessary before supplying these important needs, as no school can be developed on its tuitions alone. Below is the financial statement of the year. We are campaigning for a living endowment of $2,000 to found two permanent salaries for office work, a string department and assist in opening a home for boarding girls in September. The President, Mrs. Harriet Gibbs-Marshall, discontinued teaching one year ago and without salary has contributed all her time to placing the school on a good business basis. Scholarships have been secured in Washington, D. C.; New York City, N. Y.; Brooklyn, N. Y., Oberlin, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; New London, Conn.; Detroit, Mich.; Chicago, Ill.; Norfolk, Va.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Knoxville, Tenn., and more than half of these pledges are already paid. It is hoped that Washington will lead other cities in this worthy effort. All who believe in a school of music which ultimately aims at the development of the development of distinctively racial music of the highest type as the American colored man's contribution to the world's music, please fill out this pledge card and forward to the Conservatory without delay. The Washington Contributors to date are: CRFP Dept. N. FOR PEOPLE'S HAIR say to my people, the colored people, that this government is too unjust towards its colored defenders for them to do any more fighting for it, I would not consider my advice the least treasonable. I have suffered in silence long enough. I can not and should not hold my place any longer. Read Rev. Coston's History of the Spanish-American War Volunteers, published in 1899, first and second issues, and Rev. J. J Pipkins' book, The Story of a Rising Race, published in 1902. See a part biography of Lieutenant Pierre L. Carmouche's record, in those books, and then seriously consider the injustice, the meanness and base ingratitude of this government of ours; through its representatives, harshly and insultingly refusing such a patriotic volunteer veteran, who lost his health in the then deadly Isle of Cuba in 1898 and whose family has suffered in silence from the cause of it. Just think of the first colored man to have offered his services with that of two hundred and fifty other colored men from the parishes in Louisiana above named for our war with Spain—a just and well merited pension. Then ask yourselves the question as to whether or not you should be a part of the "fighting machine." Why should you sacrifice your health or possibly your life and your wealth to receive the treatment meted out to me and other colored Spanish-American War Veterans? And the treatment accorded the four companies by Ex-President Roosevelt in that most drastic order of dishonorable discharge of colored troopers in that Brownsville, Texas, incident, should never be forgotten. What I done in 1898 and advised my people, our people, to do, is what I could not, under existing conditions of our treatment since our interpid services in Cuba, consistently advise them to do now. Knowing as much as I do and having done as much as I did do in our war of 1898, treated as I have been by so base an ingratitude by those entrusted with the affairs of the government, it would be criminal on my part to advise the colored man to again fight in defense of "Old Glory." ATTORNEY L. M. KING RETURNS. Now In His New Offices.-His Panama Trip a Success. Mr. King now has a beautiful suite of offices, consisting of four rooms, at 1111 U Street Northwest, where he has recently moved. He seems to like his locality immensely. Attorney King recently made a trip to the West India Islands, including Panama and Costa Rica. He went as a representative of the great organization known as the Knights and Ladies of Malachites of the World. He said to the representative of The Bee that he had a highly enjoyable trip and found his lodges in that section in a very flourishing condition. Mr. King is the Grand Supreme Governor of this organization. He said that the colored people throughout that section of the country were very prosperous. He was the guest of Attorney W. H. Carrington at Colon, Panama. Mr. Carrington is a graduate of the law department of the Howard University and is now located in Panama and enjoys lucrative practise. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the well known elocutionist, was also one of the delegates on this trip and is still in Colon. Mr. King proposes to deliver a series of lectures on his visit to Jamaica and the Panama Canal, at the various churches in the city of Washington, and vicinity. He made a special study of conditions there in order to make these lectures instructive and interesting. He can paint a picture in such a manner as to make the hearer imagine that he is actually there witnessing the sights himself. It is extremely interesting to know of the people of the great Jamaica and of the Panama Canal. Any one wishing to have Mr. King lecture will address him at the foregoing number. The attorney looks much improved as the result of his trip. Hotel Dale.
