Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE Congressional Library Washington's Best and Leadper-That's the BEE WASHINGTON He Failed to Appear in New York. Nevil H. Thomas Answers His Letter in the Guardian—He Wanted to Be Recorder of Deeds. Dr. Waldron's three letters to the Guardian, written over his "non de plume"—F. H. M. M.—are such a jumble of mis-statements of facts that I desire to say a word through your columns. I wrote a letter to Editor Trotter calling attention to Dr. Waldron's "double cross," and Mr. Friday Murray's failure to criticise him for his "lay down" on our problem. Mr. Trotter ignored it, but evidently sent it to the above-named gentlemen, for in the issue of this week, the letter confesses that the humble servant of God "made a mess of it." It ill becomes these men who do nothing for the race to be questioning the motives of the noble men and women who created the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This organization was born of the love of service, and that same noble impulse is carrying it on. These people are carrying on this work at great expenditure of time, effort and money, and many have given up cherished friends and suffered ridicule for taking up this unpopular cause. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, who seems to be their special target, needs no defense. His life and work prove him worthy of his great sire, William Lloyd Garrison. It is true he did not secure the office of Recorder of Deeds for Dr. Waldron, or do another personal favor for him, for he and all (except perhaps Dr. Waldron) feel that this organization was not created to get some selfish politician a job, but to secure full freedom for ten million men. Every effort was made in a quiet way to get Dr. Waldron to resign since he had begun to "trim," and though the executive committee held two meetings and laid the matter before him; although the national body sent the executive secretary to Washington on the same mission; and, worst of all, though he knew the vast majority of the agents were against him, he still refused. My own self respect would have made me resign. I then told him I was going to bring the whole matter before the body. He had some of his friends who care nothing for the association, who had never been to one of its meetings, come out that evening, and such an exhibition of tyranny I never thought a layman could be guilty of—certainly not a preacher, who can't open a meeting of this militant organization without song and prayer. He even refused to call for new business. He hoped through his position as president, and his "tools" on the floor—some of whom simply were with him because of their silly and futile onslaught upon the public school system—to override the will of the body. What else could we do but leave such a meeting? One hundred and twenty-seven of the 150 present went to the next room and deposed him unanimously, and Mr. Friday Murray and any one else present had his opportunity to speak. But Dr. Waldron's course was so defensible that even Mr. Murray could not defend. Some people who came to the meeting to support him were honest enough to fall away from him on account of his conduct in the chair. The 127 people who walked out included the executive committee and our faithful vice-president. It included our efficient secretary and treasurer and all of the workers of the association—those good people who have come in to spend and be spent for the great cause; and not those who simply came in for the opportunity of contact with men and women of wealth in order to borrow money, or secure support for their selfish ambitions. I will say to the few who have such ambitions that "The Gates of James are Closed." These good people up here are not going to be "worked" by any one, so that few had better seek 'another organization that doesn't know them. The executive committee and some members of the branch there, secured me a hearing before the National Board of Directors here. I presented the case and looked for Dr. Waldron, who promised me he would be here. I wanted to cross question him before the board, but he would not come. He sent a communication whose contents any one can disprove, and asked for "his day in court." This postponed the vote. The Committee on Branches will hear Dr. Waldron's side and report the findings. In closing I will say that Dr. Waldron's office seeking was a complete surprise to all who did not really know him, for he had said many times "I am but an humble pastor, laboring for God and my people, and I wouldn't have any office in the gift of the administration." He said this in such solemn, ministerial tone that I believed it, for the solemn vow came from a preacher. came from the Since Dr. Waldron has forsaken the high ideals of the association, since he is hostile to some of its noblest spirits here; since he has made a trimmer's speech, and antagonized seven-eighths of the membership, what else did self respect leave him but to resign; and since he would not, and resorted to unscrupulous methods to remain in, what else did duty leave us but to expel him? NEVAL H. THOMAS. HAYNES- ADVERTISING AGENCY. Investigated by N. B. Dodson, Chairman Executive Committee of the National Negro Press Association. Mr. Haynes Personally Interviewed and Shows Records Indicating Unsatisfactory Service Rendered by Many Publications Which. Have Delayed Remittances to those who have Rendered Accurate Service. Much Missionary Work Yet to Be Done Before Success Can Be Assured. Having received letters from a number of publishers in reference to the responsibility of the "Haynes Advertising Agency, of New York, I considered it my duty to make a personal investigation in order to furnish the members of the National Negro Press Association with impartial and accurate information. To my mind an advertising agency is subject only to the control of the periodicals for whom it represents. I have no thought of minimizing the tremendous importance of the work it does as such an agency, but wish simply, to emphasize the thought that properly speaking an advertising agency has no entity of its own, no mission save to serve each publisher they represent to their mutual and profitable advantage. I had the pleasure of calling upon the Haynes Advertising Agency a few days ago and was most cordially received by Mr. Haynes, who is proprietor of the business. After a few brief profunctory remarks, I stated my mission; without the least hesitation, Mr. Haynes in the most intelligent way outlined his method of operating, saying in part: "This agency is the outcome of near two years struggle, between many obstacles. One is that of general racial prejudice which is a universal handicap. Another, most vital feature, is that in a number of cases we have not been able to get accurate and efficient service from many of the colored publishers. The methods of general advertising has been greatly changed in recent years. The most important additional feature is the "Key System," which has been adopted by all of the big advertisers. By this method each media carrying an advertisement is recorded by the advertiser and is known by different numbers, for instance; one publication is known by Dept. 6, another is known by Dept. 24, and so on. This system enables the advertiser to systematically check up replies from each medium carrying his advertisement, thus showing the actual results of each individual periodical in which his advertisement appears. The ones showing the largest amount of replies is retained and those showing less returns are eliminated. This one feature alone has created extra expense for us, in stamps, stationery and time, corresponding with publishers, instructing them to insert "Key Numbers" correctly. We have written as many as six letters to some of these publishers on this one point, before we could make them understand. Advertisers will not pay for any newspaper advertisements until sufficient proof of insertions are established. This important feature has been entirely ignored. A great many who have been carrying advertisements from this office have failed to send in voucher-copies bearing the advertisement. This also has greatly disturbed our routine. I was then shown sufficient proof that legal action had been started against an advertiser in order to make collection for publications that had complied with instructions by inserting their proper Key Numbers and sending in voucher-copies of their publications. In this particular case Mr. Haynes claimed that he had not tied the publishers to whom he was indebted that he would be personally responsible for all bills if collections were not made within a limited time. Mr. Haynes further said: "That the supremacy of this agency had been made possible by his most comprehensive combination rate plan; careful study and experiment has proven that my system is the most effective and productive service to offer the big advertisers. Thers is no individual Negro publication having enough circulation to interest the big advertiser, consequently the combination of from ten to one hundred publications offering a combined circulation of many thousands is absolutely the only proposition that will attract the attention of the big advertiser to this class of publication. From an ethical standpoint it is not improper, unsafe or unwise in grouping together any number of Negro publications in order to accomplish a thing that could not be done otherwise. I might add that through my most favorable connections with the United Publishers Association and many of the large white advertising agencies of the country I am quite confident that within a short time this establishment will be a creditable asset to the colored publishers of this country. My advice, to the colored publishers throughout the country is M. H. DR' SYLVESTER L. CORROTHERS Whose Sermon Last Sunday Morning Electrified His Congregation. to give more attention to circulation; that is the essential cord on which the big advertisers play. Mr. Haynes is a member of the National Negro Press Association and his long practical experience in business should give him first-hand knowledge as to business principles, and I believe that his agency is absolutely reliable and offers the only tangible and practical proposition ever before brought to the attention of the big advertisers. At present about one-third of the colored periodicals of America are represented by membership of the National Negro Press Association and during our next convention, which convenes in Philadelphia next month, a very large enrollment is expected. COURT UPHOLDS EXCISE MEASURE. Judge Pugh Decides New Law Is Constitutional in First Test of Regulations—Framers are Assailed. Attorney Thomas L. Jones Declares Women are Treated Grossly Unfairly. The Jones-Works excise law was declared constitutional by Judge Pugh in the District branch of Police Court Wednesday, following an extensive argument by Attorney Thomas L. Jones in the case of Charles Coleman, convicted of keeping an unlicensed bar at 1240 Second Street in violation of the new act. This is the first real legal test of the new law, and is regarded as setting a number of legal points in the lower courts. Attorney Jones noted an exception to Judge Pugh's ruling [Name] THE WORLD'S FIRST EMPEROR THOMAS L. LIONES, ESO. The First Member of the Bar to Attack by a Strong Legal Argument, the Jones-Works Excise Bill.

Stand of Laws' Foes. In the defense of Coleman the argument was advanced that the law was unconstitutional and void in several particulars, and "there being no saving clause was void in that the alleged law was not a law" The two particulars in which the law was claimed to be unconstitutional were: That paragraph one, section 6, provides "if a person shall give away or otherwise furnish any intoxicating liquors," and that paragraph 14, section 9, provides "Nor shall any bar room licensee sell, give, furnish, or distribute any intoxicating liquors to any female, nor permit any female to enter or remain in his bar room." It was contended by \ Attorney Jones that the discrimination against women was clearly unconstitutional. He urged that, Congress had no right to discriminate, arguing that women should have equal rights with men. He suggested that this point alone invalidated the law. The argument was based on the contention that the provisions in question violated the rights conferred upon citizens of the United States by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, "which is not different from the inherent rights vested in citizens by reason of the Government." These three points were pressed: "The privileges and immunities ```markdown ``` Basis of Argument. vested in him as a citizen. "His right not to be deprived of his liberty and property without due process of the law. "His right to the equal protection of the law; his right that there shall be no discrimination between citizens; that all citizens shall enjoy the same immunities, privileges, and liberty, whether male or female." In addressing the court, Attorney Jones said: "I maintain that the act of Congress of March 4, 1913, while seeking to and did repeal the law governing the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia, is unconstitutional and void because, having repealed the law heretofore in force in this District, we are now without a law under which any copartnership, person, company, association, club, or corporation mentioned in section 9, paragraph 1, can be prosecuted. "The unconstitutionality of this law should be apparent to the court, in that it seeks most openly to deny to the citizens of this District fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United tSates, as set forth in the Fourteenth Amendment thereto, which says, under this section and paragraph, which is further commented upon, in paragraph 12 of this bill, that "No person, company, copartnership, corporation, association, or club manufacturing, selling or offering for sale, keeping for sale, traficing in, bartering, changing for goods or otherwise offering any intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia without first obtaining a license as herein provided, etc., shall be fined not less, than $250 nor more than $800, etc." In Article Fourteen. "Article 14, section 1, of the Constitution of the United States expressly provides, among other things, "That no State shall make or obforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall a State, (and the Supreme Court of the United States is held to put the same prohibition in Congress), deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of the law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." And this sacred principle and edict, enunciated in the Constitution of our country, was thoroughly considered by the Supreme Court of the United States." In paying his respects to the framers of the new excise law, Attorney Jones said: "The Jones-Works excise law" is one of the most complex, unjust, dubious, unintelligible, and nefarious pieces of legislation that ever emanated from the brain of men claiming to be the friends of liberty FLORIDA AVENUE CHURCH OFFICERS BANQUETED. Honor to Messrs. Lee and Langhorn. A banquet was given in honor of the officers of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Friday, July 11, by the members. The officers and members assembled in the Sunday school room at 8 P.M., where they listened to an address by the pastor, Rev. W. A. Taylor, D. D., in which he praised the officers for the valuable services they had rendered to the church during the past year. He paid a glowing tribute to James Langhorn and Jabez Lee, chairmen of the Deacon and Trustee boards respectively. A handsome morris chair was presented to Jabez Lee by the members as a token of their appreciation of the services he has rendered to the people prior to and since their organization as a church. A brand new baptizing pool has just been installed. The church was saved much money in its construction because of the free services which were given by Trustees James A. Smallwood, James A. Jackson and Carter R. Braxton, and Deacons Major Towles, James S. Johnson and Charles Mallory. Andrew Allen, Julius Pollard and James Stewart deserve special mention for the assistance they gave in the pool project. Deacons.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 3. Ex-Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, national organizer of the Negro Business League, has been in the city for several days on a little vacation. He will leave for Philadelphia, Pa., Sunday afternoon. REV.S.L.CORROTHERS He Electrified His Congregation Last Sabbath—The Eloquent Pastor Please. Galbraith Church was a scene of great enthusiasm last Sunday morning. The pastor, Dr. Corrothers, selected his text from the writings of Nehemiah. Text: Let us arise and build, that we no longer be a reproach. Subject: Rounds in the ladder of race building. He said that slavery had left the Negro as it did the Jews—disorganized, discouraged, poor and in poverty. This condition caused the Jew for centuries to be looked upon with scorn and contempt, and made him an undesirable citizen in almost every country in the civilized world. The Negro today by reason of his past condition is in the same fix; and in order to relieve ourselves certain fundamental virtues must be constructed. The text is applicable to the condition of the Negro race. 1. Let us arise and build race pride. No people can rise who refuse to love and revere their own. Every Negro who is not proud of being a Negro is a curse to his race, and the sooner they are in Heaven the better it will be for us all. 2. Let us arise and rebuild the old family altar, if this generation is to be saved there must be a greater cooperation between the fathers and mothers. The home is the foundation of all things. The church and school house each much do their part, but no power can be substituted for that of mother and father. If this race of ours goes down, it will go down because of the negligence of the fathers and mothers in impressing at the right time and in the right place the fear of God, upon the youth of this generation in this age. 3. Let us arise and build for race development. The time has come when we must look after our own sons and daughters and see that they have employment. Every form of business attempted by a Negro must be encouraged. If the Negroes of Washington City would withdraw the three million eight hundred thousand dollars that they have in the white banks of Washington City, and would invest it in institutions and enterprises of their own, we could give employment to ten thousand trained young Negroes. This race will never be anything as long as we put all we earn into the hands of our oppressors. 4. We must arise and build race ideals. We need to encourage the Negro press. There isn't anything in this country that is doing more to damage us than the Negro hating press, and we will never be able to counteract this pernicious influence until we place at every, white man's door a first-class Negro newspaper. We need to encourage the Negro doctor, the Negro lawyer, the Negro teacher, for without these professions it is impossible for us ever to be a race. 5. We must arise and build racial independence and racial resentment. For one hundred thousand Negroes in one city to lie down and allow themselves to be Jim crowed and to have all of their civil rights taken away from them, without a manful protest would be a curse and an outrage. Our enemies would be justified in claiming that we are less than human. If the so-called leaders in the city of Washington permit these injustices to be perpetrated upon us, they deserve to be branded as a generation of imbecils and cowards. Every Negro pulpit in America, every Negro press, every professional man, every race loving, God-fearing Negro citizen in this city and in this country ought to give a part of his time, a part of his money and if need be their lives to destroy this spirit of discrimination that seems to be permeating this government of ours. 6. We must arise and build for race unity. Negroes must cease to cut each other's throats, whether we be Republicans or Democrats, Prohibitionists, Socialists or Progressives. We must hear in mind that the downfall of one black man means the downfall of all. After fifty years of freedom Negroes ought to be able to differ as to politics. But when it comes to the vital issues that affect the race they should be united, and should stand together as solid as the rocks of Gibraltar. The second of the series of midsummer sermons will be delivered Sunday morning, July 20th, at 11 A. M. Subject, "The Old School or the New School, Which?" M Street High School Scores Again. M Street High School has accentuated the strength of its teaching corps and the thoroughness of its curricula in another of its graduates having passed the entrance examinations for Harvard College without extra tutoring or an intermediary course for preparation.

WHO MAY PRAY AND WHO MAY NOT Prayer Not a Duty; a Privilege, Says Pastor Russell. Sinners May Approach Him Only In His Appointed Way — "No Man Cometh Unto the Father but by Mp" Formalistic Prayer Valueless—Prayers Which Never Ascend to God—Rejected Prayers—Prayers of Praise and Thankgiving—Prayers of the Saintly Are Limited. Springfield, Mass., July 18.—Today opens an eight day Convention of the INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION. The attendance is large. Many speakers of great ability are to give addresses. The Convention seems to be wholly for the purpose. PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL seems to be wholly for the purpose of discussing the teachings of the Bible, and for cultivating Christian fellowship. The program calls for four discourses per day, and so earnest are the delegates that apparently few will miss a service. Pastor Russell was one of the speakers of today. We report his discourse on Prayer, from the text. "Mine House shall be called an House of Prayer for all people"—Isaiah 50:7. The Great Teacher's words applied to the Jewish Temple, typical of the Spiritual Temple of the future. The typical Temple had its various courts and different divisions of worshipers. Some might come near and some not so near to the Holy of Holies, in which the Shekinah glory represented Jebovah God. Only the priesthood had access to the Most Holy; only the Levites were permitted in the inner court; then came outer court divisions, some of which were for Gendles. Thus did God represent in the type conditions not of the present, but of the future. The antitypical Temple has not yet been built. St. Peter describes it as the Church in glory. He tells that Christ is its chief Corner Stone, and that all the faithful saints of God are living stones, now being chiseled and polished for places in that glorious Temple of the future. As the stones of Solomon's Temple were all shaped and completed before the construction was begun, so the Church of Christ will be constructed at the end of this Age, after the "living stones" shall have been hewn and fitted for glory. As the stones of Solomon's Temple were so perfectly fitted to their places that they all went together without the sound of a hammer, so will it be with the construction of the Church, which will be accomplished by the power of the First Resurrection—"changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye"; for "dies and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God."—1 Corinthians 15:50-52. As in the type, so in the antitype, the finished structure will be followed by a Divine recognition. The Temple will be filled with the glory of the Lord, and be thus marked as His dwelling place for all time. Thus will be established—very soon, we trust—God's antitypical House of Prayer, wherein and whereby all nations, peoples, kindreds and tongues may come into fellowship with their Creator, and have communion with Him through His appointed agencies. Only Consecrate Priests Pray. When I refer to consecrated priests, do not misunderstand me to mean the clergy of any denomination nor of all denominations. The Bible recognizes no clerical class, but declares, "All ye are brethren. One is your Master, even Christ." (Matthew 23:S.) For more than eighteen centuries God has been calling out from amongst men the Royal Priesthood class. Jesus, their High Priest, was first called to suffering and then to glory; and His footstep followers have since been invited to suffer with Him, that they may also reign with Him. Through this Royal Priesthood, the world of mankind in the future will have access to God. Now none but this Royal Priesthood have access, and they through their great Head, the High Priest of their profession. These by faith, have access to God in prayer at the Golden Altar of Incense. These see the light of the Golden Candlestick and partake of the holy Bread of Divine Truth. Others may approach God in the sense of being interested in Him, desiring to do His will, and of seeking to co-operate with the Royal Priesthood and to render service to the Lord's cause. The influence of such an approach toward God is always beneficial, uplifting, cleansing. But the point we are emphasizing is that such approach to God stops short of the privilege of true prayer to Him of true relationship to Him as children None may pray, "Our Father, which art in Heaven," except those who have approached God in His appointed way—through Christ—and who since have been forgiven, and inducted into the family of God by a begetting of the Holy Spirit. The common concept of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man is wholly unscriptural and sets aside entirely the Savior and His important work as Advocate for the Church in the present, and as Mediator elect for the world in the future. Wrong Views Respecting Prayer. Nearly all Christian people in the past have discerned the subject of prayer very insistently. Sinners have been urged to pray; moralists, who have never accepted Christ as their Savior, have been clad for not praying. In a general way the impression has been given to the world that God is very anxious to have some recognition on the part of humanity, and will be glad to be approached by anybody at any time. How strange a mistake! Was it not God who denounced sin and placed the penalty, or curse, of death upon the sinner, and cut off the sinner from fellowship with Himself? Has He changed? Will He ever change? Was not the statement that "God hearst not sinners" a correct one?-John 9:31. The Church Has an Advocate. The Church Has an Advocate. God's arrangement whereby His consecrated people may approach Him acceptably is clearly stated. "We [the Royal Priesthood] have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous," (1 John 2:1). But before the Redeemer of men will become the Advocate for any, certain terms and conditions are laid down. Those approaching are first of all reminded that "no man cometh unto the Father but by Me"—the Advocate. And upon inquiring respecting the terms upon which He would be their Advocate, we are admonished that He serves only those who become His disciples. Inquiring the terms of discipleship, we receive the answer, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."—Matthew 16:24. Under these conditions the poorest and the meanest of humanity have the privilege of approaching with courage the Throne of Heavenly Grace to obtain mercy, and to find grace to help in every time of need. (Hebrews 4:16). But equally certain is it that none others have access to God, "Neither is there any other name given under Heaven or amongst men whereby we must be saved" from our fallen condition, than the name of Jesus. Perhaps there is something revolutionary in this thought that, while all may worship in the sense of bowing down and showing reverence to the Almighty, none but, the consecrated followers of Jesus have any assurance whatever of the Divine supervision of their affairs. And none but these have any authority for coming to God in prayer. One exception to this rule should be here stated; namely, that the children of consecrated believers, while they are still immature of judgment, have a standing with God through their relationship to their parents. St. Paul makes this very evident in his declaration: "The unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband, else were your children unclean, but now are they holy."—I Cor. 7:14. The translation of this text slightly beclouds the Apopthe's thought, which is that where either of the parents has become a disciple of Jesus, the child stands related to God, regardless of the standing of the other parent. Such children may participate in worship and in prayer. But this relation, ship manifestly terminates shortly after the child shall have come to a personal knowledge of its responsibilities. Thereupon it must make a personal covenant with the Lord, or have its standing with the rest of the world. And that standing, be it remembered, does not mean liability to eternal torment. It merely means alienation, separation, from God and from His special care and providences in the present time; for the Divine arrangement is for the ultimate blessing of mankind through the Messianic Kingdom—through the Temple of Glory and its Royal Priesthood glorified, in its Kingdom power for a thousand years. Some might be inclined to say, There are millions of people who, with more or less formality, approach God in prayer daily. Should we not fear that after a truthful presentation of the facts these would be discouraged? Our reply is that the whole responsibility for the Divine Plan rests upon its Divine Author, who says, "He that hath My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully." Indeed, the preaching of the Truth on this subject may bring many indifferent ones to the point of decision, and thus greatly benefit them. Have we not been telling the world in general that there is practically no difference between God's people by conscription and the children of this world? Have we not been misleading them in this respect? Is it not high time that they were told the truth on this, as well as some other subjects? A gentleman who attended my preaching in London, met me the following day and said, "Your discourse did not at all encourage me; indeed it greatly discouraged me. I had for years thought of myself as a Christian, being a member of the Church of England. I participated in its service, but without ever having had the thought that I could not be acceptable as one of His children, nor as a member of the Church whose names are written in Heaven, except by the making of a full consecration of my life to the Lord. I had some serious thoughts on my homeward way." We repiled to the effect that faithfulness is the wound of a friend; and that if our shaking of his self-confidence in a formalistic plety should result in bringing him to a true consecration to the Lord and to a membership in the Royal Priesthood beyond the vell, he would thank us eternally therefor. In any event, he was a witness that our duty had been faithfully performed. There is a great deal of sleepiness. crowliness, amongst Christian people. Many have mixed for themselves theological potions, in which a form of godliness combined with worldliness is producing a lethargy as respects good Bible study, Christian character and the service of God as His ambassadors. We would like to awaken these, to have them know that they are triding with the Gospel call, and unless they take the decisive step they will be forever outside the High Calling and privileges of the Church. For What May Saints Pray? Not only is the privilege of prayer confined to the consecrated people of God, "sanctified in Christ Jesus," but even these are restricted in respect to what things they may properly pray for. St. James calls attention to the fact that many prayers are entirely unheard, because the petitioners "have asked anis"—for the gratification of their own selfish desires. The Master tells us the conditions upon which we may have the assurance of the Divine response. He says, "If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (John 15:7.) At first this appears to give God's consecrated people the right to ask for anything and to expect everything. But note again the conditions: (1) "If ye abide in Me." Those who are in Christ are New Creatures; to them "old things have passed away, and all things have become new." Those who have thus come into membership in the Body of Christ, the consecrated Church, have given up their own wills, have set aside earthly alms and prospects, and have accepted instead the will of the Lord and the Heavenly hopes and prospects set before them in His Word. These, therefore, do not wish to ask for earthly things, but merely to request the Heavenly things, which would assist them in making their calling and election sure. Then comes the other consideration: (2) "If My Words abide in you." This signifies that the petitioner not only has a new will—the will of the Master—but that he has sought to know what that will is, as expressed in the Master's words, or teachings. And all such pupils in the school of Christ are taught of Him and guided into the understanding of the Scriptures, hence are able to rightly divide the Word of Truth, to appreciate the promises which belong at the present time to the Church, and to differentiate these from the promises for the world in the next Age. These know what to ask for, and having the Master's spirit, would ask for nothing else. Thus all their petitions, being for spiritual things promised in the Scriptures, would have a rich fulfilment. "Pray Without Ceasing." When St. Paul urges the consecrated Church to "pray without ceasing" and "in everything give thanks," he evidently does not refer to formal prayers, but rather to that prayerful attitude of the heart which under all circumstances and conditions looks to God—either for wisdom and guidance to do His will, or with thanksgiving and praise for blessings received and prayers answered. Nothing in the Apostle's language indicates that the Lord's people should be always on their knees, or on the other hand that they should never go upon their knees, but merely that they should uplift their hearts to God at all times and in all of life's affairs. The priests in the type offered the morning and the evening sacrifices before the Lord, and so the Royal Priesthood surely desire that every morning and every evening Divine mercy and blessings should be acknowledged with thanksgiving and appreciation. Not only so, but parental duty properly requires that the Christian parent, so far as possible, should worship with immature children for whom he stands as secondary priest, and that he should offer with these thanksgiving and praise, and petition for wisdom and guidance to the knowing and doing of the will of God. The Church of Christ, the Royal Priesthood, is a special family of God "All ye are brethren. One is your Master," and "One is your Father." Whenever these meet, worship and praise should constitute a part of their are knowledge of, the Heavenly Father. Hymns of praise should properly be considered prayer, a united worship, in which all may participate. But if any of the Lord's family, the Royal Priesthood, have gotten into sin he should heilate to take any public part in prayer or worship. He should consider himself, because of his enlightenment, to be one of the wicked and hearken to the message, "Unto the wicked God saith. What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou shouldest take My covenant in thy mouth? seeing thou hast instructed and castest My words behind thee." -Psalm 50:16, 17 Ah, what chances would be wrought in Christendom if this principle were understood and applied! Many costly choirs of unbelievers would be this missed. The congregational singing would be tuck behind its present musical standard for a time at least, but much more acceptable to God. Who can dismantle that some time the Christian standard will be lifted to a much higher level than at present? Who can dispute that the effect would be one of great spiritual refreshment and blessing to those really desirous of knowing and serving the Lord? And who would dispute that the effect upon the worldly-minded would be beneficial also? It would do them good to know the truth—that they are with out God and have no hope, because they have not come into relationship with God through the great Advocate whose only terms they have thus far rejected. Might we not hope that, right informed, many of these, now indifferent, would become saints indeed? TAKE CHARLTON TO ITALY FOR TRIAL Fight Against Extradition Occasioned International Interest and Threatened to Embroil This Country With Italy—Long Fight at Last Ended. New York - Porter Chariton, the young American who killed his bride in their villa at Lake Como, Italy, in June, 1910, and who for three years has successfully fought extradition, has been turned over to the Italian government and will be tried for his crime. In the Hudson county jail at Jersey City Chariton was under osponage which was relaxed neither day nor night in the fear that he might try to take his own life rather than face a living death in an Italian dungeon. He had no visitors save his de- J. PORTEH CHARLTON voted father, Paul Charlton, former United States judge at Porto Rico; his mother and brother and his counsel. The prince for which Charlton must now stand trial created worldwide attention because of his grewsome setting and the promissure of the slayer's family. The light against extradition occasioned international interest and at one time threatened to embroil this country with Italy. Porter Charlton was a New York bank clerk when he met Mrs. Neville H. Castle, a divorcee and daughter of Henry H. Scott, a San Francisco coal merchant. The wooing of Charlton was ardent and rapid, with the result that the couple were secretly married in Wilmington, Dulc, in April, 1910. A few days later they sent announcements to their friends and then sailed for Europe on their honeymoon. Letters received by Captain Scott, attached to the coast artillery at Fort Myer, led to the belief that the couple were happy and peacefully enjoying themselves. On the morning of June 10 the body of Mrs. Charlton was found by fishermen in a trunk in Lake Como not far from the villa the pair had occupied. An investigation was started by the police of Cernoblob, and a Russian named Constantine Ispolatoff was arrested. When the authorities searched for Charlton he had disappeared. It was at that believed Charlton had met death defending his wife's honor, and the lake was searched for his body. Then it was learned from the proprietor of the Hotel Sulisse at Cernobloch that a couple had frequently appeared there and registered as Mr and Mrs. Potter. They had often quarreled, and on several occasions the woman had been seen weeping. Once the guests heard shrieks, and the proprietor found Mrs. Charlton hidden in a closet. Later her husband dragged her to the street, and the proprietor asked the pair to leave his hotel. These stories turned suspicion upon Charlton, and the police of the entire world were asked to arrest him on sight. None of the detectives assigned to the case was more indefatigable than Captain Scott. He swore to be revenge and obtained a leave of absence. Scott thought his brother-in-law might be on the Deutschland and was on hand when she docked. No trace of Charlton was found, and he strolled over to the Princess Irene. He had never seen the object of his quest, but a man on the pler answered his description, and he caused his arrest. He had arrived under an assumed name, but admitted his identity when his own name was found stitched inside his laundry bag. He then seemed glad that the strain was over. At police headquarters he made a written confession. In which he said that, while his wife was "the best woman in the world," they often quarreled over trivial matters, and she would call him foul names. The night of the murder she went into a temper, and in a daze he struck her with a mallet he had been using to straighten out the leg of a couch. He then placed the mallet and body in a trunk, dragged the trunk from the villa to a small pler and threw it into Lake Como. FINDS HEARSE AT STATION Woman Supposed to Be Dead Changes Plans For Funeral. Bellefontaine, O. When Mrs. George W. Carr of Yellow Springs alighted from a train at West Liberty recently she was surprised to see a bearer, an undertaker and carriage, one being occupied by her mother and a clergy man, awaiting her coming. She found she was supposed to have died and that the bearer was to take her body to West Liberty cemetery. A mistake in a telegram was the cause. Mrs. Carr's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Shumate, received a telegram saying Mrs. Carr had died Monday night and that the body would arrive at West Liberty. Mrs. Shumate had received a letter previously in which Mrs. Carr said she would visit her mother. Mrs. Shumate was prostrated when the supposed death message came. Her husband died suddenly a year ago, and her son passed away without warning recently, and she supposed her last remaining child was also dead. When Mrs. Carr stepped from the train alive and well there was a pathetic reunion. Many friends of Mrs. Carr were also at the depot, for the village newspaper had published a column obituary notice. PORCUPINE TO BE DISPLAYED Another of Perry's Ships Discovered and Fitted Up. Cleveland.-The Porcupine, another vessel of the fleet which, under Commodore Perry, defended the British fleet in the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812, has been discovered and is being repaired to take part in the centennial celebrations of Perry's victory. Raised from the shore of the lake eight years ago and hauled ashore by Charles G. Bolthouse, the Porcupine is being refitted by Mr. Bolthouse and his cousin, R. J. Renners of Cleveland. After the battle of Lake Erie the Porcupine was used in the government revenue service on the great lakes until 1830, when she was sold at auction to Senator Ferry of Michigan. Senator Ferry rebuilt the boat and used her in the lumber trade until 1847. Unit for further use, the Porcupine was turned adrift and later floated into the harbor of Grand River, Mich., and sunk. Puns outawney, Pa.-With the coils of a python twenty-five feet long tightening gradually around his body, James Harve Stenger, manager for a carnival company, escaped being crushed to death only through the power of music to soothe the reptile after the efforts of six men bad failed to dislouse it. Mr. Stenger was superintending the unloading of a box of snakes when the python escaped. For an instant the reptile seemed to be dazed, and as Mr. Stenger took a stick and tried to push it through a door into a big glass case the snake turned like a flash. In an instant the python entwined itself around Mr. Stenger, plining his arms to his sides. Six men went to Mr. Stenger's aid and attempted to pull the snake from his body. The folds of the big reptile, however, only drew closer, and Mr. Stenger was on the verge of a collapse when Mile La Boneto, who owns the reptile, appeared with a fingerlet between her lips. Stationing herself near the snake, she began to play a low, weird melody, at the same time swaying her body tilt and fro gently. Raising its head, the python began to sway in rhythm with the player and the muscle, and gradually loosening its folds from Mr. Stenger, it colled on the ground with its head swinging from side to side. Slowly approaching the snake, Mile La Boneto, still playing gently, forced it into the glass cage. In the meantime Mr. Stenger, who had topped over unconscious when released from the folds of the snake, was revived and found to be uninjured. MAN DROWNED BY FISH. Tries to Swim River Carrying Forty Pounds of Them. Newton, N. J.-Harry C. Pitman, eleighteen years old, was drowned in trying to swim the Paulinskill river with a catch of forty pounds of all kinds of fish strung about his neck. He went down in the whirlpool near the Stillwater bridge, while friends who thought his cries for help were in fun laughed at him. They answered his second frantic cry, but too late. Pitman went sparing fish with Edward Huff of Hardwick township, by whom he was employed, and Lester Huff, brother of Edward. They had good luck, and at 2:30 o'clock decided they had enough to "call it a night." Pitman suggested that they swim back and started first. : Sheds Top Nails Biennially. Bedford, Ind.-J. W. Mundy of this city sheds the nails from his toes every two years, and this has occurred since he was a child. When asked to see his foot, Mr Mundy bared his left foot and showed the old nails, barely hanging to the toes, and the new nails growing under the old ones. HEART MAY STOP BEATING. Physician Says Ten Minute Interruption Is Not Dangerous. Paris.-The following very interesting statements, some of which are considered striking by the leading lights of French medical science, were made by Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute For Medical Research, New York, at his first official lecture at the Paul Beaujon hospital. Dr. Carrel announced that he was now able to operate in the chest cavity with as much ease and safety as in the abdomen. "It is now a simple cut," he said, "and we open the thorax and operate upon the lungs, heart and aorta as we treat the kidneys and the intestines. We now know also just how much the brain, the spinal cord and the heart can stand as regards the temporary anaesthetics required by operations. "The heart suffers very little from interrupted circulation as long as it is taken that it has enough oxygen and it may be stopped for five or even ten minutes without danger, while in the spinal marrow the circulation may be stopped as long as twenty minutes." For the brain, however, four minutes is the limit of safety, and after five it is very difficult to restore normal conditions. A huge field of work remained, be said in conclusion, to be done as regards operations upon the human heart, and the study of these was of the greatest possible importance. This was especially true of surgery for aneurisms and the shrinking of the aorta or pulmonary arteries. OLD POLITICAL FEUD OFFICIALLY ENDED Tillman and' Gonzales Reconciled, Even After Bloodshed. Columbia, S. C.—When United States Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina recently consented to the confirmation by the senate of President Wilson's appointment of William E. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia (S. C.) State, as minister to Cuba a famous political and personal feud of twenty-four years' standing in South Carolina came to an official end. The Tillman and Gonzales families have been bitter enemies, and the Palmetto State has been the scene of many heated battles fought by able leaders on both sides. On one occasion the differences were augmented by bloodshed. The Gonzales brothers—three of them—were exponents of views of the old aristocratic element—the ex slave owners and wealthy planters who could trace their ancestors back hundreds of years and who composed this society element and the financial backbone of the state. Senator Tillman in his vigorous and stirring campaign for governor of South Carolina in the early nineteen was victorious over this opposition. He was elected United States senator and has served his state in this capacity for the past sixteen years. James 'Tillman, a nephew of the senator, was elected lieutenant governor. Later he was a candidate for governor. The Gonzales' fight on the Tillmans had never let up—many stinging and rebuking editorials were published in their paper James Tillman was defeated. Shortly after the election he met N. G. Gonzales, at that time editor of the paper, on the streets of Columbia and shot him dead. He subsequently was acquitted. A monument now stands in Columbia honoring the memory of N. G. Gonzales. On this it is recorded that Gonzales was "murdered" near the spot where the monument stands Jim Tillman, as he was generally known, was later retired from politics. He became ill with tuberculosis. The climate of the west failed to cause the improvement in his condition, and he returned to his native state. In the meantime he had quarreled with his uncle, and the breach was an open one. The last days of Jim Tillman were spent in a lonely little cottage at Asheville, N. C., and he died there about a year ago. The bitter campaign of 1912 against Cole L. Blease came on in South Carolina in August, 1912. For the first time Tillman and Gonzales were on the same side, both favoring the election of the opponent of Blease. This tended to bring the two factions on closer terms. The fact that Senator Tillman permitted the senate to confirm the appointment of Mr. Gonzales as minister to Cuba officially ends the struggle of twenty years, marked by a continual and able fighting on both sides and, even by bloodshed. SOCKLESS MAN IS DIVORCED. Wife Says She Washed His Face and Hands Daily. Chicago.—Because her husband was too lazy to wash his face and would not wear socks unless she put them on him. Mrs. Jesse Wood of East Eight eighth street. Paterson has obtained a divorce. According to Mrs. Wood, her husband, James G., was the persuasion of laziness. She endured him for five years. She testified that Wood refused to work. He developed a great desire to sleep during the day. Then she says, he became so lazy he would not take a bath. Rather than invite criticism she washed his hands and face daily and put on his socks. He was ablebodied, but his wife says he was just naturally "tired." THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St. N.

One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months .....1.00 Three months .....50 Subscription monthly .....20 VARDAMAN TOO CHILD- James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, must pretend to his constituents that he is doing great things in Congress. His only stock in trade is attacks upon colored Americans. He has lost sight of great measures which affect his State and country at large, and the childish attacks upon colored Americans are paramount to his ambitions and foremost in the eyes of his constituents. Without knowing what is going on in the Recorder of Deeds office, this would be statesman tells the country that a white woman was assaulted by a colored woman in that office and for that reason and because it is alleged that colored men are assaulting white women, colored officials should be removed from office. There is not a better conducted office under this government than the Recorder office and the office at Register of the Treasury. The colored Americans are great factors in this country, because no backswoodsman is ever heard of until he attacks the colored race. Vardaman came to the Senate because he gratified the prejudice lust of the Southern hayseeds. This hayseed element in the South is fast degenerating. They fear the colored American and it will not be long before they will make their own folly a mockery. The colored Americans stand at the head of American civilization. The abuse of him makes him none the less powerful. Calling him a monkey, ignorant and pauper does not make him such. If you wish to see superior work over the work of white employees in the Recorder's office, investigate the records of the colored clerks. There are colored clerks in the office of the Recorder of Deeds far superior to any white clerk in the office. The white and colored clerks in that office are working harmoniously together. The Bee would advise this childish statesman to keep his eyes upon Mexico and Japan. If reports are true, he will have his hands full before long. So full that he will not have the time to think of the condition of the colored Americans in this country. Japan is about tired of their treatment at the hands of these so-called Christians in America. Vardaman will be given an opportunity to demonstrate his valor and loyalty to this republic. Vardaman is too childish. A. E. PATTERSON The daily press, a few days ago, published an interview, alleging that it emanated from Mr. C. E. Patterson, of Oklahoma. For the benefit of the public and those who are interested in the advancement of the colored people. The Bee desires to state that Mr. Patterson had no such interview with the public in any daily press, but a gentleman who was recently separated from the government service maliciously betrayed the confidence of his friend. A man who would be so base and treacherous to cause to be published such an article is unworthy the confidence and respect of anybody. Mr. Patterson is a young man and no doubt a gentleman who is entitled to the respect of his fellowman, and it is the hope of The Bee, although Mr. Patterson claims to be a Democrat, that the administration will disregard the treacherous fling that was aimed at him and the treachery of a colored Republican who has attempted to injure him. Mr. TREASURY DEPARTMENT SEGREGATES COLORED AMERICANS. Our government! The land of the free and the home of the brave! A republic in which all citizens shall be protected under the Constitution. A government which the lives of thousands of colored Americans were lost to save from rebel invasion. The 30th day of May in every year is commemorated in honor of those who are buried beneath the sod. With patience and forbearance have the colored Americans withstood attacks and assassinations, only to be confronted with race discrimination, ostracism and degradation. An order was issued Tuesday in the Treasury Department segregating all colored employees. The order was verbal to every bureau chief in the department to the effect that every colored employee shall use the toilet, in the northeast section of the Treasury Department, basement floor, which will necessitate the segregated employees to walk from two to six blocks. The colored employees in the Register of the Treasury's Department will have to walk six squares, there going and then returning, The Bike hopes that Register J. C. Napier will refuse to issue such an order to those colored employees under him. such an order to those colored employees under him. The Editor of The Bee would inform Mr. McAdoo, the Secretary of the Treasury, as chief of his bureau, he refused to obey or issue such an order. Mr. Napier has an opportunity to immortalize himself. His name would go down to posterity as one man who repudiated an obnoxious order striking at the constitutional rights of colored Americans. Does the President indorse such a discriminatory order? Will colored Americans tamely submit to such a diabolical order? Remember that this is a republic and we are citizens of this republic who have helped to uphold a flag which guarantees to every citizen civil and political liberty. Why should a government discriminate against its citizens? Certainly the President of the United States must be aware of this discrimination. If he is not, The Bee takes this opportunity to inform him. In speaking of free America, we should consider to what extent it is free. It is free for the white man of all nationalities and even the dogs and cats are sheltered and protected from the brute. The Chinaman, the Japanese, the Dago and all kinds of strike breakers have greater power than the colored American. Mr. McAdoo is from the great State of New York, which has recently passed a law prohibiting race discrimination. What has the colored man done that has caused such an order to be issued? Has the white man reached that point in his civilization that he is afraid of the colored man's civilization? The only amusing incident about the order is, those colored men who have declared themselves lily whites and their associates have been with the poor white man, now must follow the colored brother. There are about five of these colored men in the Treasury Department, three from Mississippi, one from Georgia, one from South Carolina. Just how the so-called Spanish (?) colored gentleman will hide his identity The Bee is in doubt. But he is in the sixth Auditor's office. Just how this individual can play Spanish with a colored mother he refuses to recognize The Bee is still in doubt. There is one thing certain: The colored brethren and sisters must now disclose their identity. They can no longer play hot and cold. The Editor of The Bee is proud of the women in his race. Those southern white men who are continually introducing bills and passing "Jim Crow" car laws would leave our women alone and pass unmolested. The Bee would believe that there was some virtue in this segregation agitation and so-called discrimination. If you want to see beauty and refinement, let old Vardaman walk up You Street from New Jersey Avenue to Fourteenth Street, our boulevard, and then let him walk from Seventeenth and II Streets Northwest to the Circle and let him compare notes. The fact of the matter is the white hayseed is jealous of the colored races' success. He is jealous of the beauty and refinement of our females. Their beauty and refinement cannot be equaled or compared with the crackers in Mississippi or elsewhere in the South. The Bee will admit that there are a few colored people in this city who should use more soap and water, but Oh, how many white people who are not only in need of more soap and water, but in need of other essentials? Crimes committed by colored people will not compare with the crime committed by white people. The offenses against the colored man are magnified. If the Secretary of the Treasury has been influenced by understrappers to segregate the colored employees, will he be kind enough to publish his order of segregation? Our Register of the Treasury is a born gentleman and he married in a family that is equal to any in the United States. For refinement and culture, this family possesses all. Must he tamely submit to this order of segregation? No, let him say to the Secretary of the Treasury that James C. Napier was born a freeman and his family is as pure as baptism, and on the sacred honor of his ancestors no segregation order will be issued. His name would go down in history immortal. Mr. Napier has nothing to fear, because it is written that he is to be succeeded by some one. He is manly and is full able to tell Mr. MeAdoo. that there is one colored American who doesn't believe in segregation. AWAKENING OF THE COLORED AMERICANS. When Roman tyranny invaded Plebian poverty and independence, the yoke of slavery was thrown off. Roman oppression was made perpetual until the eyes of the oppressed were opened. It continued like an eating cancer. The last was used and, like cringing slaves, they appealed to the strong and the hearty. The greatest of them all walked the streets of Rome and played the fool only waiting for the hour to come to make a strike. The rape of Lucrece gave the fool an opportunity to throw off the mask of madness and strike down the Tarquin outrage. Roman independence was declared, although the son of the fool had to pay the penalty. Is it not time for the colored Americans to awake? Has the hour arrived for him to strike? Some must die so that others must be free. Must our women be humilitated and outraged by heathen mobs? Is this a free government or is it a sham? Are the laws made for the choice and select to the detriment of the oppressed? Did the colored soldier fight for an independence which has been made a mockery or did he die in defense of liberty and justice so that a nation may be pure and free? The black traitors who have joined the Democratic party and have sold their birthright are fit for the slave pen. The national law makers are discriminating in their dispensation of the laws. There is no cause for the colored man to lament. The time has come for him to throw off the mask of cowardice and declare himself a free man. There are no longer babies among us, although there may be a few traitors, sycophants and demagogues who stand ready to sell to the highest bidder their people. In the face of the introduction of segregation laws in Congress, not a so-called Negro Democrat has raised his voice to protest. Why? Because every man who has given aid and comfort to the Democratic party is an applicant for office. The so-called organization for the advancement of colored people had to resort to drastic measures to depose a candidate for office who was foremost in denouncing a Republican administra- Patterson has too much sense to utter such an interview recently published in the daily press and credited to Mr. Patterson. Mr. Patterson has too much sense to subject himself to such an interview, and the man who caused its publication had a malicious intention which will do him no good. made an able argument in the Poljece Court Wednesday against the new excise law. Mr. Jones declares that the law is unconstitutional. Rev. S. L. Corrothers delivered a very eloquent sermon at Galbraith Church last Sunday. It was listened to with great interest. tion that had committed no offense at all. The Negro Democrat is insincere. He is a traitor to his race. He is the "Judas Iscariot" and the "Benedict Arnold." He is the destroyer of his people who are fighting for an independence. No colored man, in the face of existing conditions, will declare his allegiance to the Democratic party, unless he is insane. Colored Democracy declares in favor of the following: RACE SEGREGATION, "JIM CROW" LAWS, DISFRANCIISEMENT, BURNING AT THE STAKE AND LYNCHING. Negro Democracy favors the foregoing outrages for any kind of office that may be given by the Democratic party. It this is not insanity, what is it? With but a few exceptions, and that exception is in the State of New York, a colored man would be justified in supporting the Democratic party. No other State in this Union encourages the colored American to support the principles of the Democratic party. The Bee would not hesitate to support a Democrat on the order of the Governor of New York. There are two offices in the District of Columbia that are filled by colored men—the Register of the Treasury and the Recorder of Deeds. Colored Democracy is in the hopes of these two offices being filled by colored Democrats. Vardaman of Mississippi wants both incumbents removed and white Democrats appointed. It makes no difference who is appointed, the colored race will continue to exist and prosper. Our women will be protected just the same, notwithstanding the treachery and weakness of Negro Democracy. The more sensible colored man has his eyes opened. He is not the slave and poltroon of men who are looking for saleable individuals or Judases to their people. This race proscription cannot continue long. The white man will see his fallacy, and the Being who rules the destinies of nations will bring him to his level. The colored American is awakening. Public Men Ard Things In a windy interview, from Varda- man, in which he declared he was going to ask Woody to remove Henry Lincoln and appoint a pure white man, and to ask Woody to remove all anthracites from government positions higher than a bootblack. Now there ain't no use of the Mississippi wasting his time going over to the White House on such a mission. Woody is just as sure proof against Negro fairplay as he is, and there is just about as much chance of Woody giving an anthracite a place as there is of Vardan reaching heaven when St. Peter is on guard. Patty, old boy, if Senator Gore fooled you all the way from Oklahoma here on a promise, my advice is to go back to him and get the price of a railroad ticket to Oklahoma, and take the first handear out of this inhospitable berg. Your chance of getting Bud Napier's place is about the same as Jack Johnson's chances are of getting an invitation to a soiree at Ben Tillman's house. And Napier is looking to get the hook most any moment. In fact they say Napier, every time he hears his telephone ring now thinks that fellow who built the Hudson tube, McAdoo, is on the other end to say "I regret to have to ask you for your resign letter." * * . Hadn't intended to refer to R. Wordy for a few weeks again, but after reading that letter of his to The Detroit Informer, which Chase kindly reproduced for the benefit of R. Wordy's Washington friends, I just couldn't refrain from a few specifications. I observe that R. Wordy says he wasn't denoted. Mebly he hasn't realized it because of a serious obtuseness. But them there what knows says he was, that's all I got to say. But the real vaudeville about R. Wordy's letter was where he says he voluntarily transferred himself and is now engaged at work better suited to his abilities, and that he has a "special" assignment. When I finished reading that letter I immediately wired all the vaudeville houses in the country that if they wanted a screening headliner to at once get in touch with R. Wordy, the greatest jokesmith of the age. I can't see why Andy Thomas, who is always looking for good headliners, has overlooked billing R. Wordy for a two week's stand. Any messenger who voluntarily transfers himself, and personally assigns himself to "special" work, and work best suited to his abilities, is one more vaudeville artist. But it sometimes happens that one's "abilities" ain't much of an asset. I just couldn't help but make this reference. It was so humorously funny, don't you know. My old friend Rosco called up a friend the other day and said that the Sage was all wrong in his prognostications regarding his new private secretary. He said that the young man he had selected, and I just did not get his name, was a different person altogether. Well, the Sage wasn't all wrong. If the Columbia Road diplomat will read my effusions again, he will discover I was just handing out what I heard a bunch of gossipers speel. I never said nothing. I just repeated what they said. I knew all the while the gossip contingent was wrong, as usual, but it sounded so funny. I thought it worth repeating. You know there are a lot of soft shell and hard shell crabs who just lay awake through the night scheming how to catch the Little Lord Fauntleroy in a box. Up to date he has maneuvered them out of position, and a fellow what can play mumble pegs like that Harvard hoy orator is likely to be here at bury the last man. THE NEGRO AND THE FLAG. Editor The Ree. The Negro soldier has carried it in every war since 1812. Why do we honor the flag of our country? Why do we look with pride upon it? Because it is the emblem of liberty and justice. The love of flag is the love of country, and the love of country means the love of the institutions that constitute the civilization of that country. And that means now—not fifty years ago. The Negro soldier fought for his rights and freedom and for the Union. We fought bravely, because he had a cause to fight for equal rights before the law and protection under the flag. The powers that now control the channels of authority have raised objections to the very rights that the soldiers fought, suffered and died for. As long as these conditions exist, regardless of our sensibilities, it is a known fact by every thinking American that there are institutions and State laws that ignore certain amendments to the Constitution of the United States favoring the rights of the Negro, and yet "Old Glory" must stand for it—these barbarities that have cast a stain upon the flag. Can we truthfully say that the flag now waves of the free, when American-born citizens are oppressed, discriminated and legislated against? The Supreme Court of the United States has declared null and void the Civil Rights Act of 1875, passed by Congress to insure equal treatment for Negroes at hotels, theatres and public concervies. It was not a statute said the court that a part could be legal and operative while the remaining part was unconstitutional. Mary F. Butts, a colored lady who claimed to have received second-class accommodations and treatment on board the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation Company's steam-hip was declared to have no remedy under this law. "The statute gave Congress no right to control interstate commerce, and as applied to the States was unconstitutional," said Mr. Justice Van Devanter. The question is, are the colored citizens of the United States, who pay taxes, and who fought to save the Union, getting justice and the rights that they are entitled to $^2$ J. D. REYNOLDS.

One of the most successful and progressive members of the local bar is attorney Fontain Peyton. Mr. Peyton is not only a successful law- M. yer, but a good citizen, who is honored and respected by all classes, irrespective of color or condition. He is one among the leading members of the bar who write a strong argument in support of the election of the Democratic ticket. He is not only respected by the colored members of the bar, but he has the respect and confidence of every leading white member of the bar who have long since recognized his legal ability. An Eastern Star Home A few years ago when Mr. Henry Harris was Grand Patron, he inaugurated the idea of adopting plans by menage of which an Eastern Star Home could be constructed. For a time much effort was exerted in that direction, and then there came quite a stagnant situation. Things were certainly in a crisis, but we were rescued from this direful condition by the newly elected and most tactful president, Dr. S. S. Thompson. Too much credit can never be given this worthy man for his untiring labor. At the expiration of his term, the Eastern Star Home Association was on such a basis that it could be managed with some facility. There is no reason, whatever, that this plan should not be accomplished. With the numerical strength of this organization a failure would be a reflection upon the order: Let each member lend his strength to the best of his ability. As a member of the Eastern Star, you should consider it your bound and duty to support so noble a cause. Do not be satisfied with achieving only what has been done in the past. You must add to this and make greater strides. With such a determination and remembering that the success of the Eastern Star Home rests upon the members of the Eastern Star, we will one day, not far in the future, see erected a home for the old and infirm members. The present president, Mr. Joseph Minor, and the Grand Matron, Miss Eva Lucas, are putting forth every effort to perfect this plan.

Literary Discusses Socialism. A very large gathering were in attendance Sunday afternoon at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Eighth Street Southwest, where a meeting was held under the auspices of the Literary Society of the church. Representatives of the Socialist Party were present, and discussed at length the principles of their party and inviting cooperation with them in which they avowed that they were the only party now who would give to, the Negro the rights guaranteed them by the constitution of the United States, in which they were being deprived. At the conclusion of the address Rev. M. P. Sydes, the pastor, was called upon and paid a high compliment to the speakers for their efforts and many good things said during the discussion, but he took issue with them in which he said that the party of Lincoln, Grant, Sumner, etc., and other great lights were good enough for him and the race, but what was needed was good leaders in the Republican party; such men as believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, who are made equal of one man's blood. His remarks were timely and eloquently delivered. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. W. C. Thompson and Mrs. Frances E. Payne, organist, furnished excellent music. Mr. Jos. Thompson is the president of the society. Mr. W. M. Jennifer was the master of ceremonies. The speakers were: Mr. Herbert Henderson, Mr. W. V. McHoney, in behalf of the Socialist Party, who claimed many recruits from the Negro race. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. C. Beckett, of Nineteenth Street Northwest, was the scene of a lively gathering on Wednesday, July 9th, the occasion being in the nature of a surprise to the genial Captain Becket, who left Thursday morning for a trip of two weeks on vacation in the east. The hostess, Mrs. Beckett, invited the guests into the spacious dining room, where a beautiful table awaited them, much to the pleasure of all, among who were Mrs. E. Jackson, Miss Nora Small, Miss P. J. Hannon, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Clark, Hon. J. C, Dancy, Mr. J. D. Rucker, Mr. I. G. Mitchell, Mr. L. Gramon, Mr. Paul McGee and Jas. L. Turner. The annual outing of Mt. Zion M. E. Sunday School on Friday, July 11, at the Green Willow Park, Anacostia, was a very enjoyable one and largely attended. Baseball, croquet, swinging and other games were indulged in for amusements by the teachers and scholars. After dinner ice cream and cake were served to all attending the outing, including the children of the Orphan's Home in Anacostia. A large congregation attended the services at Mt. Zion M. E. Church on Sunday morning and listened to a very logical sermon by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Thompson, the junior choir rendering excellent music. On Sunday morning the pastor will preach a special sermon, subject, "Elijah under the juniper tree." All are invited. Personal. Mrs. Sarah Smith and daughter, Miss Marguretta, of No. 2459 P Street Northwest, have left for Atlantic City, N. J., for a month's stay. Mr. Jos, C.

In spite of the inclement weather there was a large crowd to come up from Mt. Pleasant to witness the moving picture show given by Prof. Richardson on Tuesday night at Second Baptist Church. On Thursday night the Ladies' Aid Society gave a lawn party on the lawn of Mrs. C. V. Tinner, which was well attended. Miss Clara Weaver has moved into the house owned by the Misses Jacksons. The Sabbath School at Galloway M. E. Church was well attended. Good order, good lessons, and all of the teachers at the head of their classes, indeed made a bright beginning for the day. Rev. Colbert, Mr. A. G. Murry and Mrs. Mary Richards entered heartily into the review. The morning service was also well attended. Rev. Colbert preached from the 8th Psalm, sixth verse. He preached again at night to a large congregation. The Sunday school at Second Baptist was well attended and full of spirit. This being Communion Sunday, the church was crowded. Rev. Dr. Powell, the pastor, officiated both at morning and night services. The Sunday school's Progressive Literary Society was well attended and a very interesting program rendered. It is indeed hoped that this meeting will be a helpful branch of the church, especially for the young people of our community. Mr. Rufus Delaney, of Washington, was the guest of his mother, Mrs. Caroline Granderson, on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ford entertained at dinner Sunday, Mr. Philip Tyler, of Washington, D. C., formerly of this place. Mr. Robert Williams, with his two little boys, spent Sunday with his uncle, Mr. James Turner.

The chairman of the committee of arrangements was appointed and the committee will be appointed next Monday night, July 20. The management of Camp Pleasant made a fine selection when they decided to occupy the Pine Grove near Fifty-eighth Street. The young people seem to be enjoying their outing. This movement is demonstrating the fact that it is worthy of a more liberal support, that a greater number of unfortunates may get out of the crowded city and see nature in its beauty and be made to know that some one cares for them.

It is stated at the Treasury Department that the clerks affected by the reduction will remain off the rolls only a short time. VIENNA, VA., NEWS. Sunday was a grand day for Vienna in church and social life. Fine weather made this pleasant rural summer village an ideal resort for visitors who came, from various points. At 10 o'clock A. M., the organization of the Sunday school department of Union Baptist Church was accomplished with becoming ease, a good Sunday school morning service in a brief but full way, being so well rendered, as to set a happy spirit for the services which followed. The beloved pastor, Rev. J. N. Beaman, was present, taking active part, and with spirit-reviving music by the choir a glorious day was begun. This was Communion Sunday. The pastor announced Communion service would be held at night, so that all might have ample opportunity to partake. The pastor preached strong, logical and instructive sermons for all the services. The afternoon service was largely attended as well as the night service. The Y. P. W. W. Society had an enthusiastic meeting, the crowd remaining apparently without any notion of giving up so delightful a place of rest and sacred service. The afternoon service was held on the lawn where the great open air gospel meetings are to be held. It made "our heart burn within us" to be a part of these hallowed meetings. The C. E. topic "Speak not evil one of another," Jas. 4.6-12, was well discussed by Prof. H. L. Mills, the efficient and beloved president. Deacon A. W. Miner, leading in the Y. P. W. W. Society meeting at 4:30 P. M. Others joined in the discussion which brought out many helpful and instructive advices all agreed to observe. The usual Sunday school hour. 3 P.M., at First Baptist Church, was as usual, filled with glorious good interest and life. In our next, or some subsequent letter, we hope to give the names of those winning prizes from Children's Day on down. Here we will find a model Sunday school. They are now preparing for two grand occasions, and the little folks (here all of us are "little folks") are surely joyous in anticipation of "what's about to take place." On Tuesday night there was a concert given at Odd Fellows' Hall by the West Falls Church Club of the Second Baptist Church at Falls Church, of which Mrs. Mamie Nelson and Miss Estelle Collins are the leaders. The hall was crowded. The concert was indeed a credit to the leaders and those who were with them in the performances. Mrs. Nelson herself is simply "at home" on the stage, and delivers her pieces in an interesting way. Special mention may be made of Mrs. Spain, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Rector, Mr. Bradley and other ladies whose names we failed to get. This entertainment surely must have been a financial success. Proceeds for the benefit of Second Baptist Church Fourth Sunday School Rally. Mr. A. W. Miner has beautified his home by painting it a fine steel grey color with trimmings of dark green. His is a superb summer home. Miss Adele Noble, of Washington, D. C., was out Sunday visiting Mrs. A. W. Miner and family.

She is filling engagements North, South, East and West, making improvements at the school, and pushing the jubilee work for the National Baptist Convention, which meets at Nashville, Tennessee, September 17-22. Miss Burroughs is speaking to both white and colored audiences, and is making friends by the hundreds, for the great work in which she is engaged. The white physicians of Winchester, Ky., have invited her to deliver an address at the Fair in August. The Winchester Sun, in a recent is- sue, contained the following: "On the last day of the Hospital Fair, the colored folks of Clark County will hold forth, and they are preparing to make this one of the greatest days ever known in the county for their race.

By this service the white citizens will give a ward to colored patients in the new hospital. Here is a woman who has her own work to build up but who never refuses to serve other worthy organizations and efforts. She takes her girls from church to church in this city, and Washington knows now that they are the best group of singers we have had, for many a day.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY-ON GOD'S INSTRUMENT IN PREPARA- TION. Exodus 2:11:25—July 13. "Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth."—Matthew 5:5. THE education of Moses is briefly-summed up in the Biblical statement that he "was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians." Legend tells us something of his schooling in the philosophies of that time, and declares that he was a successful Egyptian general; but it is for us to follow the Bible account. The time was nearing when God intended to bring the Israelites out of Egypt into the Land of Promise—an illustration of the still more wonderful deliverance by the Greater than Moses, which now is nearing. God's providences may be noted in respect to the experiences of Moses, who is credited by the Lord with having been "the meekest man in all the earth." God wanted a meek man for the important position which He intended Moses to fill. Moses' lessons and experiences helped to make him meek. Who can- Moses Threw Himself into the Scuffle. not see that, if he had been proud and arrogant, he would have been unfit for the duties and responsibilities devolving upon him as leader of his people? Perhaps no man had a more difficult task than that represented in Moses' forty years with Israel in the wilderness. We may be sure that he was prepared for the ordeal only by the experiences of the preceding eighty years of his life. The adopted son of the Egyptian princess, Moses must have been a court favorite, and in danger of cultivating pride and arrogance. As an offset, he had continually before him the fact that his features were Jewish, and that thus every one had knowledge of his identity with the despised and oppressed people. The tendency would naturally be toward one of two courses: Either he would seek to ignore the Hebrews and to become more and more identified with the Egyptians, or else he would exercise faith in the special promises of which his people were helts as children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. St. Paul notes that Moses was a victor in this test. He chose to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the honors which might have been his as an adopted member of the royal family. (Hebrews 11:24-26). To Moses the Promise which God made to Abraham, and repeated to Isaac and Jacob, and which still awaits fulfilment, was more to be desired than all the riches and honors of earth. Moses Discouraged, Heartbroken. Trusting in the Lord's Promise. Moses believed that the time had come for the deliverance of the Israelites from bondage. He knew well of his miraculous preservation, and had the assurance of God's. Promise that this signified that God had a special work for him to do. He was anxious to begin that work. He knew not of his own unreadiness—that he would require forty years more of special schooling. An occasion to show his zeal for his brethren came when he saw an Egyptian abusing one of them. Moses threw himself into the scuffle. The Egyptian was killed. Moses perceived that none of the Egyptians knew of the matter, so he quietly buried the victim in the sand. He doubted not that his brethren would realize that he was their friend and defender, and would look to him with confidence as their leader, when God's providence would open the door for them to leave Egypt. But all his dreams, faded when, next day, he perceived that there was no such loyalty among his brethren, and that they were ready to deliver him to the Egyptian authorities. Thoroughly discouraged and fearing for his life. Moses fled to the wilderness of Midian. It looked as though all his education and development had gone to waste. Moses Jethro's Shepherd. As the fugitive sat upon the casing of a well, shepherds brought theirocks for water. Amongst the sheep- tenders were Jethro's daughters, and opposing them some ungallant shepherds, who hiddered them Moses took their part, and drew water for their flocks. Incidentally he walked with them to read this book. tenders were Jethro's daughters, and opposing them some ungallant shepherds, who hindered them Moses took their part, and drew water for their flocks. Incidentally he walked with them to ward their home Jethro was appreciative of the stranger, who did not disclose his identity Moses was thoroughly crestfallen meek, teachable. Moses married one of Jethro's daughters and continued to be a shepherd for forty years. He did not at the time understand the Lord's providences in his affairs; but he was all those years learning a most important lesson of meekness, of full submission to the Divine will. When the lesson had been learned, God's time had come to put His, thus doubly educated servant into a most important place, for which he never could have been qualified without just such experiences. God's dealings with Moses illustrate the general principles of His dealings with all those whom He would use in special service. --- OLD FLIRTATION BY FRENCH DUKE Troubles of Orleans Family Recall an Escapade. COUNT WAS SCANDALIZED. Young Frenchmen In America Visited Pretty Viriginia Girls, Causing Head o' House of Bourbon Much Mortification—How Flirtation Started. Richmond, Va.—Recent cablegrams from Brussels setting forth the escapades of the Duke of Orleans and the duchess' suit for separation recall an incident in his career In Richmond twenty years ago. One bright spring morning in 1803 something of a furor was created among the passengers on the little river steamer that piled between Norfolk and Richmond when they learned the identity of three distinguished personages aboard. They were traveling incog, but some one recognized them as the Count of Paris, his son, the Duke of Orleans, and his nephew, Prince Henry of Orleans. The elder had come over to revisit battlefields on and near the James river, where he had figured in 1802 when on the staff, with his brother, of General McClellan of the Union army. The count was revising his book on civil war and desired a fresh view of locale and atmosphere. They had visited Yorktown and Williamsburg, in which battles he had taken part, and the itinerary was M. H. DUKE AND DUCHESS OF ORLEANS. to take them to Gaines' Mills and Fair Oaks, where he had fought gallantly. His son and his nephew were handsome, dashing young fellows, who had seen service and hunted tigers in India. The old count pointed out and expatiated on interesting places along the historic route, scenes of notable engagements in which he had figured thirty years before, and became so absorbed in the memories that he did not discover the keener interest manifested by the young noblemen in two pretty sisters of Richmond, one a blond and the other a brunette, vivacious and fond of admiration. Misses Ophelia and Louise Bullington betrayed sufficient interest to embolden young Evan Chesterman, a feature writer, to offer to introduce them. Not just then, though; the old count was watching the youngsters with rigorous solicitude. He was stern, proud, a stickler for etiquette, never forgetting that he was undisputed head of the house of Bourbon. Before the boat reached Richmond, however, the plans were arranged by Chesterman for the party to call on the girls at home that evening. Weary from travel, the count was easily persuaded to retire early and was tucked away. His room at the old Lexington hotel was across the hall from that of the duke and prince. Nine o'clock found him snoring, while a cab with drawn curtains was burrying the party of three to spend the evening with the beauty sisters. Both the young noblemen spoke good English, and a jolly party it was, with clever stories and love songs dashed off in a glass of wine and the spice of adventure. When the party returned at midnight the count awoke to learn the truth, and things were blue around the hotel. Catching them sneaking into their rooms, he thundered his censure and threatened, disinherit the duke for so far forgetting himself as to visit strange women out of his station and start gossip. "Picture the horrid American newspapers out with your escapades in ghastly headlines!" he growled. "Ugh! I'm most shocked and mortified. And you, air, heir and head of the great house of Bourbon."

AGED MARE KNOWS DENVER MAIL ROUTE Needs No One to Guide Her on Trip About City. Denver.—There is probably no person in Denver who is able to start at the Union depot, traverse every street between there and Broadway, with Fourteenth street as the western limit and Nineteenth street as the eastern, and stop without a mistake or a change of mind at every mail box in that area, but a horse, aged fifteen, yclept Bem, knows the hundreds of mail boxes and knows them so well that she can find them on the darkest of nights, with a blizzard, a rainstorm or a ninety mile wind occupying all available space. Bess is the property of Frank Monroe, a mall collector. She has grown aged in the service of Uncle Sam's mall department. In the twelve years of her service as assistant mall collector for the aforementioned route she has missed only seven days, some of those in the last year. It is the boast of her master that a substitute mail collector can be placed on the route for the first time and turn with the mail without the aid of any guide other than the sagacious Bess. As her master climbs into the wagon after gathering the mail from one box Bess heads directly for the next one, be it around the corner, across the street or down the block, and she never misses a box. Moreover, until the mail is in the rear of the wagon and she hears her master's voice, she will not leave the spot. Bess, says her master, intends to remain a government employee for many years yet. Except for the fact that she spends most of the day sleeping in her stall until time to go on duty at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, she exhibits no signs of advanced age. REPAYS FRIEND HE ROBBED. But Not Until Twenty-six Years Have Passed By. Louisville.-The stricken, conscience of an aged man in Germany was responsible for the return of German bank notes amounting to nearly $1,000 American money to Nicholas Wermelster of this city, who was robbed of that amount at his old home in Metz.

The letter inclosing the notes was dated March 10, 1913, the anniversary of the theft, and was unsigned. Although the writer referred to himself as a "trusted friend who betrayed the confidence of your household." Mr. Wermelster declared he was unable to Mentify him. Which Falls Quikker? If one marble be snapped horizontally from the top of a table and another be dropped from the same height at the same instant, which reaches the floor first? , This question is sent to the Scientific American by a correspondent, and the editor of that magazine answers it as follows: Sir Isaac Newton stated three laws of motion which from his time to the present have been universally accepted as true. The second law is, "A given force produces the same effect whether it acts upon a body at rest or in motion, whether it acts alone or together with other forces." You will see that the second part of this law covers the case of a ball dropped from a table and another ball shot horizontally from the same level at the same instant. The first ball falls by the force of gravity alone. The second ball has, as you say, two forces acting upon it. The ball obeys both forces at the same time. It falls as if gravity acted alone. It goes by the blow as if the blow acted alone. Both balls reach the floor at the same instant. 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, to 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 splitting 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 Pasha 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. PURHAM, N.

Menomoule, Wis.-Thirty-five years ago this spring Register of Deeds Alfred Halverson of St. Croix county, then a young man, became the possessor of his first watch, an open faced silver watch, with a heavy case. Young Halverson valued his new possession so highly that he carried it with him at all times, even when he was plowing on his uncle's farm. He was heartbroken after plowing a few furrows one morning to find that the watch had slipped from his pocket and had been plowed under. With his cousin, Edward Halverson, he back plowed the furrows, cross plowed them and then combed the earth for hours in search of the precious timepiece, but in vain. Recently while plowing on the Star Prairie farm, Edward Halverson saw the plow turn something metallic out of the ground. He stopped and picked it up and found it was a silver watch. He at once thought of the one his cousin had lost thirty-five years ago, and although the fields had been changed, he discovered this was where he had helped look for the watch years ago. The thick crystal was broken, and the hinges were rusted, but he returned the old timepiece to its owner, and a jeweler to whom it was taken for repairs discovered that the works were free from dirt and rust and the ad justment still perfect. A little oil, a new pair of hinges, a new crystal, and the watch when wound started to run as though it had merely run down the night before. TRIES TO KISS THE JUDGE. Mexican Woman Seeks to Embrace California Magistrate. Los Angeles. — When Mrs. Riardo Rivera, a Mexican woman, offered to kiss Superior Judge Monroe in gratitude for a gift of $2, which brought her and her husband together again, the magistrate blushed and directed an official to lead her from the court room. The husband was up on a charge of failure to provide. He promised to be good, and the court discharged him. Rivera informed the magistrate that he did not have sufficient funds to take his wife with him back to his job at Ontario, whereupon Judge Monroe handed him $2. Nine-year-old Hen Earned $56.70. Republic, Ark.-Mrs. B. M. Lervold of Republic has lost a remarkable nine-year-old hen which was hard to beat as an egg-producer. During its lifetime the Biddy laid, ninety dozen eggs, which, at 15 cents a dozen, means $13.50; each year raised 210 chicks, which at an average of 20 cents each, increased her earnings $43.20, or a total of $56.70.

Monessin, Pa.-Smoke, a pet coon belonging to Franklin Sauter, has adopted a brood of young gulnea bens that were hatched in the oven of Mrs. Sauter's stove a few days ago. Local naturalists and woodsmen assert that this is the only instance on record where a coon is known to have overcome his natural instincts to kill all feathered creatures. Several months ago Sauter captured a young coon that had been pulled down and injured by the dogs. It soon became domesticated and became a great pet around the house. Sauter is also a breeder of guinea-fowl, which are prone to leave their nests and sit in the fields and woodlands. Missing one several weeks ago, Sauter traced her to the fields and secured ten of her eggs, which were within a day's time of incubation. Not having an incubator, Sauter put the eggs in the oven of his stove, and when they hatched he placed the chicks in a box behind the stove. He was greatly surprised in the morning to find the coon in the box "mothering" them. NO WAGES FOR PORTERS. "Rod Tops" on Pennsylvania Must Rely on Tips. Philadelphia...Some porters in Pennsylvania railroad stations do not get even $1 a month in wages, as Lotterybury Boyd testified that he did when pleading guilty in Pittsburgh of stealing $5 from a woman passenger. The porters in the Pennsylvania railroad stations, or "red tops," as they are called, are taken from the cleaning gangs. The men in the cleaning gangs get $40 to $45 a month. When more "red tops" are needed the station master goes to the cleaning gangs and says that he needs so many men, and the vacancies are filled by volunteers. At first the "red tops" receive no wage at all. They must live solely on tips. But after they have been in the service for some time they get $20 to $30 monthly. The purpose of the small wage is "to make them hustle," it is said. TO STOP IMPERSONATIONS. Cummins Bill Would Jail Men Guilty of Lamar's Trick. Washington.-With a view to stopping the practice of impersonating members of congress and other public officials, which practice was brought to the attention of the senate lobby investigating committee by the confession of David Lamar, Senator Cummins of Iowa, member of the committee, has introduced in the senate a bill whose object is to deal with persons guilty of such misrepresentation. The Cummins bill would make practically impossible the impersonation of members of congress, such as that in which Lamar engaged, using the names of Representatives Palmer and Riordan for the purpose of driving Judge Robert S. Lovett and other financiers into employing Edward Lauterbach as their counsel. Despite the confessed deceptive and fraudulent nature of the plot engi A. 1913, by American Press Association. DAVID LAMAR. meered by Lamar, there is no law to reach it. Under the Cummins bill impersonation over the phone or otherwise by any person of a member of congress or other public official will be made a felony, punishable by imprisonment of from three to five years, a maximum fine of $10,000, or both fine and imprisonment. Similarly, impersonation over the phone or any one conversing from one state to another will be made a felony. BONDS TO MAKE THIS A HAPPY MARRIAGE Parent of Couple Make Pledges to Guarantee Good Conduct. Canton, O.-An ironclad agreement, backed by bonds pledging a $700 farm and $700 in cash put up by their respective fathers, promises to insure the wedded bliss of Miss Elizabeth Boldt, seventeen years, and Caslan Bartt, Jr., twenty, of Youngstown. The young people themselves have no doubt in their minds that they will get along together. They have &worn eternal-love to each other and declare that the agreement and the bonds are entirely superfluous. But the parents, noting the increase of divorce and the fact that there are many pitfalls for the feet of unwary married young people, decided to do all they could in a legal way to make the marriage knot so tight that it can never be untied. By the terms of the agreement Bartt's father promises that his son will never loaf, gamble, drink, play pool or dance with any young woman other than his wife. He pledges a $700 farm. The bride's father has deposited a cash bond of $700 with a bank that his daughter will make a model wife. will not gossip, run around with other men and will cook to the husband's satisfaction. BEER MAKES MAN BARK. Victim of His Own Imagination, Fearing Attack of Rabies. Ann Arbor, Mich.-George McGowan, formerly of Dansville, N. Y., who suffered with rabies last March, but, according to a newspaper clipping found in a pocket, was cured at Albany, drank a glass of beer and later awoke the neighborhood in the vicinity of his room by barking and yelping. Investigating, the citizens found McGowan on all fours, alternately biting at the table leg and snapping at any one who came his way. A physician and three policemen overpowered the man and took him to a hospital. Specialists in rabies declared the case was not one of hydrophobia, but bysteria; that the man lived in constant fear of rabies and was the victim of his own imagination. They ascribed the attack to the effect of the beer. McGowan is now comfortable and will recover. Never Blow In a Mule's Ear. Stoneham, Colo.—Barney Benson had heard that the way to cure a mule of balking was to blow in its ear. He tried the remedy and is now at a hospital in Sterling with both jaws broken and several teeth missing. The mule did not take kindly to the "gentle sephyrs" playing in its ears and as a jabuke landed both heels on Benson's law. --- SEEKING KIDD'S TREASURE. Inspiration From Fortune Teller Leads Rivers In Quest Oregon City, Ore.-Declaring that he has received an inspiration from a gypsy fortune teller which will lead him to discover the famous treasure of Captain Kidd, which has been sought for centuries, L. W. Rivers, a prominent Willamette rancher, will start from this city in about two weeks for the Oregon coast. Rivers states that several years ago while he and his wife were visiting at The Oaks they consulted a fortune teller, who told them that they would discover the treasure. She stated that it would be found in a cave in a rock which is a prominent feature of the coast scenery near Nestucca beach. Last year Rivers and his wife went to the beach and found the cave, which is marked by a cross and a horse shoe. Inside the cave, according to the fortune teller, they were to find the fortune at the end of a log. The log was found by Rivers, but he dug at the wrong end of it and so did not get the fortune. This, according to the fortune teller, is just as he would do, for she said he would have to make two trips before he would get the fortune. He is now trying to get capital to finance the scheme. AT 81 WALKS FIVE MILES. Makes Long Trip on Foot to Dance Bunny Hug. White River Junction, Vt.—Although he is eighty-one years old, Dana Burbank of Burnard walked five miles to attend an old folk ball here. Mr. Burbank did not learn to dance until he was seventy-six years old. Now he likes it better than anything else in the world. "I never saw the tango, or the bunny hug danced," Mr. Burbank told a reporter, "but old as I am I would like to give them just one whirl." "I don't think there is, any harm in dancing or attending dances any more than there is in attending church. I know there is a lot said about dancing, and the idea is that it is immoral, but I don't see it that way. I think there is a lot of enjoyment obtained, and it makes you feel that you are not on the shelf of old age. I love to dance, and I am now realizing what I missed by not learning before. I don't know just what started me." Girl Testifies That Machine Was Used to Break Backs. Philadelphia.—Dr. J. E. Sweet, assistant professor of surgical research of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, was held in $400 ball for court here by Magistrate Haggerty on a charge made by the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Cruelty to dogs in the vivissection and experimental laboratories of the university was alleged. Miss Henrietta Ford Ogden, rich, testified that every Friday, for six months she had crawled through a hole in a fence so that she could gain entrance to the kennels of the university and obtain evidence. Miss Ogden identified the back breaking machine, which she alleged is used in the laboratories to crush out the lives of dogs. The machine is best described as a diminutive gallows. A heavy iron weight is operated on ropes and pulleys, so that it will descend with sufficient force to break the backbone of any animal held beneath it. Magistrate Haggerty at this point said: "We realize the right of the university to perform necessary animal experiments, but there is nothing too severe for a person who would devise or use such an apparatus as this. It is almost incredible to believe that a civilized human being would use an apparatus of this sort. It is an infernal machine." Samuel S. Geyer, formerly In charge of the university kennels, said that the members of the faculty ordered the surgeons to remove all evidences of cruelty to animals when the legis lature was acting on the vivisection bill. He declared that after the measure was defeated and after the danger had passed the practices were continued. CORNELL MEN'S EARNINGS. 1,069 Make $184,906, 32 Per Cent of College Expenses. Ithaca, N. Y.-It is found that 1,069 Cornell undergraduates are partially self supporting, and their combined earnings a year amount to $184,906, or $173 per capita, by figures compiled by the Setoll and Spade, an organization of working students. This sum represents 32 per cent of their college expenses, which amounted to $733,791. Only 123 students are earning their room and board. Of individual earnings 380 men made between $100 and $200, 218 between $200 and $300, 51 from $200 to $400, 31 between $400 and $500 and 42 more than $500 At Eighty-four Cuts Third Set of Teeth Brazil, Ind.-Mrs. Caroline McGregor, aged eighty-four, mother of Judge Samuel M.

MUTE MONTHS, GIRL RESUMES TALKING Pecullar Case Brought on by Overstudy at School. St. Louis.—Irene Burnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Burnes of Hillyard, who for the last seven and a half months has been confined at the Sacred Heart hospital on account of a most serious and peculiar case of hysteria, which baffled local physicians for several months on account of her refusal to talk, is improving. In about a month she will be able to leave the hospital, at which time she will be taken for a visit to Lewiston, Ill. Miss Burnes was at her home for a few hours recently, the first time since Oct. 2, when she was taken to the hospital. Although she has not entirely recovered her power of speech, she will at times, especially in the mornings when rested, talk for a little while. She understands all said to her, but under no condition can she talk unless she be thoroughly rested. Miss Bailey, her nurse, takes her for a walk each day. Miss Burnes since March has been under the care of Dr. W. T. Phy. The illness was brought on last summer as the result of overstudy at a summer school and following the excitement of the final examinations. BREAKS HIS WOODEN LEG. Jailer Nails It Together So Prisoner Can Go to Workhouse. Pittsburgh. James Burns, sixty years old, giving his home as Homestead, charged with vagrancy, was sentenced to the workhouse for thirty days by Magistrate Justus Schroedel in the east end police station. Burns has a wooden leg, and while he was in a cell another prisoner fell on the leg and broke it. Burns told one of the turnkeys that his leg was broken, and the officer thought it was a human leg. When he discovered his mistake he took the wooden leg and nailed it together so that Burns was able to get to the workhouse.

"When I was a growing kid, and some upon many words in my reading that I did not understand, my mother, instead of giving me the definition when I applied to her, uniformly sent me to the dictionary to learn it, and in this way I gradually learned many things besides the meaning of the individual word in question--among other things, how to use a dictionary, and the great pleasure and advantage there might be in the use of the dictionary. Afterwards, when I went to the village school, my chief diversion, after lessons were learned and before they were recited, was in turning over the pages of the "Unabridged" of those days. Now the most modern Unabridged—theNEW INTERNATIONAL—gives me a knowledge of the same sort. So far as my knowledge extends, it is at present the best of the one-volume dictionaries, and quite sufficient for all ordinary uses.

Reviews Measures Adopted or Contemplated—What Is Being Done With $600,000 Emergency Appropriation—Bettering Railway, Mail and Parcel Service. Washington.—Many improvements in the postal service have been made since Postmaster General Burleson took hold, succeeding: Mr. Hitchcock. In a recent statement issued from the postmaster general's office the conditions as they were found when he took hold are reviewed, and plans to meet the emergency which confronts the service are outlined. Among the improvements which have tended to increase the efficiency of the service is the addition of about 1,000 clerks and 500 letter carriers at various offices throughout the country. Approximately $1,000,000 has been authorized for temporary clerk hire and $500,000 for city letter carriers. Such unusual financial demands made it necessary for the postmaster general to go to congress early in May for an emergency appropriation. The sum of $600,000 was granted and an additional $300,000 was appropriated for temporary clerk hire and a like amount for temporary carriers. Mr. Burleson points out that on March 5 there were 2,200 vacant postmasterships of presidential grade and some 300 have become vacant since. There were 4,500 fourth class postmasterships vacant on March 5. These vacancies are being rapidly filled as the result of civil service examinations. Mr. Burleson's statement continues: "Within the last sixty days 483 petition for rural delivery routes have been disposed of, resulting in the establishment of 203 routes, involving an annual expenditure for maintenance of approximately $190,000. By the establishment of these new routes and the extension of old routes more than PETER H. Photo © by American Press Association. POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLESON. 200,000 people are now receiving their mall at their doors instead of at remote postoffices. "In pursuance of the policy of expediting the delivery of mail the postmaster general has ordered the discontinuance of the back stamping of all ordinary mail which heretofore has delayed its delivery anywhere from twenty minutes to one-half hour. An investigation of the conditions shows that the slight benefits from back stamping were far outweighed by the advantages that would be gained to the public by its discontinuance and hence the prompt forward step by the department. "The parcel post regulations have been-modified so as to permit the delivery to the addressee, without additional charge, of matter reaching the office of address with improper stamps affixed. "By an arrangement made with the Canadian postal service the rates of postage on Sunday editions of daily newspapers mailed to subscribers in Canada, who also are subscribers to the week day editions, has been fixed at 1 cent a pound or fraction thereof instead of at 1 cent for four ounces or fraction, as formerly "Many of the changes which Postmaster General Burleson has put into effect have to do largely with the internal workings of the department, but their effect will be felt throughout the entire service." "A number of experienced officers of the department are now employed in the field studying conditions with a view to recommending remedies wherever defects in methods may be discovered. "It Is Postmaster General Burleson's desire and earnest endeavor to establish in the interest of economy and efficiency uniform methods and practices throughout the entire service and to direct postmasters to the best way of administering the postal facilities." TO HELP FARMERS UNCLE SAM'S AIM Trying to Ultimately Reduce Cost of Living. TO STUDY CREDIT NEEDS. Department of Agriculture Begins Movement, Financed by Education Board, Rockefeller Philanthropy. Splendid Results Expected. Washington.-The broadest investigation yet undertaken by the department of agriculture, designed ultimately to solve some of the great problems of farm life, is being planned for the rural organization service, which has just been established by Secretary Houston. The secretary and Dr. T.N. Carver of Harvard, who is at the head of the new work, are confident of splendid results. The rural organization service will work in closest co-operation with the newly created division of markets, which will devote its energies primarily to problems connected with the marketing of farm products at a profit. In many instances it is not the lack of a market that prevents the farmer from turning over a profit, but inability to utilize the means for reaching the market. Secretary Houston, Dr. Carver and students of farm economics in general long have felt that the weakness of agriculture was disorganization. This disorganization is the natural and often necessary result of the vast number of farm units, each one a separate business enterprise. Also it is the result of the isolation of farm life and the fact that the farmer has learned to co-operate with nature better than with men. The rural organization service will be financed by the general education M. B. SECRETARY HOUSTON. board, one of the philanthropies of John D. Rockefeller. While backed by practically unlimited funds, however, the work will not be done on an extravagant scale. The general education board so far has appropriated only enough money to make a beginning and to effect an organization of thoroughly competent men. The southern education board, a branch of the general board, for several years past has been co-operating with the department in its farmers' co-operative demonstration work in the southern states. This work has met with phenomenal success and has solved many farm problems for the south. Effective organization in marketing crops will ultimately bring the farmer a much larger return for his work and also reduce the cost of living to the consumer by removing the middleman wherever practicable. "The farmer is quite capable of taking care of himself if he can be put in possession of the necessary information," says Dr. Carver. "Generally speaking, the farmer must do his own organizing and not depend either upon financial agencies or upon governmental agencies for the doing of the actual work. The government, however, has facilities for collecting, tabulating and spreading information which neither individual farmers nor groups of farmers possess. "It is not only necessary that the farmer's income should be increased, but that country life should be made sufficiently attractive to induce the farmer to remain in the country even when he has a large income. In the past it was generally true that the more prosperous agriculture was the faster farmers have moved to town. "This problem is in some respects more difficult than the purely economic problems of marketing and credit. There must be some effective organization of rural interests to support an educational system in our rural schools at least equal to those found in the city schools. There must be organization for rural sanitation, which will make country life so much wholesome than city life that people will seek the country rather than the city for these reasons." STRAIGHTEN YOUR OWN HAIR Madame G. A. Ceruti, 105 N. New York Ave., Atlantic City, N. J. Box19, Station J, New York City Sample of Comb may be secured at The Bee office, where orders will be received and Comb promptly delivered. Most women realize that beauty is largely a matter of beautiful hair and now that science has placed within the reach of all, an instrument that is a deadly weapon to all scalp diseases, any woman may easily and quickly gain a head of beautiful hair by using this wonderful hair dryer and cultivator comb. This great invention is scientifically manufactured of highly magnetized steel, and never fail to cleanse the scalp of all unnatural matter and impurities. The use of the comb, besides ridding the scalp of dandruff and dirt, destroys the germs that cause all the trouble. It promotes the circulation of blood on the scalp. It cultivates the roots and produces a new growth of long, luxurious, soft and glossy hair. Nore.—Madam G. 'A.

Segregation in Government Departments at National Capital an Actual Fact. Much has been said about the proposed segregation in the government departments here, and much more was thought when an order was issued in the Office of Auditor for P. O. D., directing colored employees to use certain toilets. The origin of this order, however, could not be ascertained, but it was vaguely hinted that it was from someone "higher up." This week, however, has developed the fact that the "someone higher up" has figured in the main building of the Treasury Department and that a similar order was issued directing all colored employees to use the basement toilet located at the Northeast corner of that building and a sign has been conspicuously lettered on the glass door "FOR COLORED ONLY." Limitations and bounds seem here to have utterly failed. To use the common vernacular, "This is the limitit" is a mild expression. The littleness of the brain which conceived this idea, the extreme pusilamanty which attempts the execution of the same under the great Federal Government at the National Capital is certainly beyond any comparison. While, of course, it is not to be expected that those in the service would or could afford to make an open protest, however much their manhood might suffer in compliance, it is, however, the duty of every person with a drop of Negro blood in his veins to make a firm, manly protest to the fountain head, President Wilson, to the end that all employees under the government, no matter what their race, station or color shall be accorded the same rights, privileges and recognition as others. Now is the time, this the opportunity. FROM ELKS' CONVENTION Publicity Bureau, Atlantic City. Things here are shaping up for the reception of the Grand Lodge of I. B. P. O.

Informal Meeting of Lot Holders. An informal meeting of a number of lot holders in Harmony Cemetery was held last week, in the business office of The Bee. The object was to express disapproval in the management of the affairs of the Cemetery. Attention was called to the apparent waste of money expended on what is termed an "improved" roadway. To a casual observer, it was remarked, the grade of the new road was not only more difficult of ascent than the old one, but also sacrificed valuable interment space. Complaint was also made of the difficulty in getting information at the grounds. Mr. Shorter, assistant superintendent, was commended for his courtesy and general desire to accommodate. The main trouble, it was asserted, was to reach the party "higher up"—John H. Cook—superintendent, secretary and treasurer. It was stated that Mr. Cook, not only draws $1,000 as clerk in the Pension Office, but also receives, in addition, $600 from the society. It was the universal opinion that something must be done by the lot holders to have Mr. Shorter or some other official in the office continuously to give required information. The idea of having to run around departments and private homes for information was repudi DIRECTIONS.—First cleanse the scalp with Ceruti's Tar Shampoo, then oil the hair well with Ceruti's African Eureka Cream, remove the catch at the extreme end of the metallic frame of the comb, and take out rod, heat red hot, and replaco same, the comb is then ready for use.

Attention was also called to lack of improved foot-paths and roadways, the absence of which, it was stated, could not be attributed to lack of funds, as one of the 'gentlemen present stated that he understood that the Cemetery Association was rich, having funds ample for improving the entire grounds. The board consists of Ralph Cook, FrdR Cook, Lecount Cook, John H. Cook, John H. Simms, Sr., John H. Simms, Jr., Henry Johnson; Charles H. Shorter, Stanton Wormley and Edward G. Brooks. After thanking Mr. Chase for use of his office, and many valuable suggestions, the meeting adjourned, subject to call of Advisory Committee. Death of Young Campbell Master Robert C. Campbell, Jr., a promising young man, the son of Mr. Robert C. Campbell, Sr., was buried Friday, July 11th. He was a young man who had a host of friends and admirers. The interment was at Harmony Cemetery. Mr. Middleton, the well known funeral director, was in charge. "Do you wish to increase your present income?
