IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library, Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 10 Ex-Lieutenant Carmouche's Bold Defense—Old Glory Must Protect the Worthy—A Brave Colored American Speaks Out—Let Cowards Hide Their Heads. No person feels more grateful to Chase and his Washington Bee than I do for having permitted me give my reasons and why the Afro-American should not fight for "Old Glory" and to expose my well-founded grievances, as an Afro-American, against the government for its unjust treatment, of the Afro-American volunteers of the Spanish-American War. These publications accomplished two good purposes: they relieved me of a burden that I could not keep any longer and had to be divulged frankly and fearlessly. They imparted information to the Afro-American which has a deep meaning to them in all of this supposed "beneficient government treatment" to those who serve "Old Glory" honestly and faithfully in time of war. Colored men! there is no such a thing in its true meaning of the word in the hearts of our oppressors as honesty and faithful is placed on its value. If all the "colored" veterans who did not get a square deal from "Uncle Sam" would make it publicly known as I have inched in my series of five articles, all in the Washington Bee, it would startle the race to know the extent of the injustices meted out to "colored vets." With publication of these following documents as other exhibits, as a part of my long silent fight against our government's oppression and injustice of me since September 7, 1900, I leave it to the public at large to say whether or not I was dealt with fairly or fouly. The whole secret of the Pension Bureaut's refusal to grant me my pension rests on the supposition, obtained from my enemies in a community that became prejudiced against and hated me after my successful demonstrations as an Afro-American to do and dare to prove an equal in war as well as in peace, "that I went to war with piles, that said disability was not of service origin." Such evidence obtained from Donaldsonville, La, are LIES made up from or fabricated from a source of corruption and prejudice that "drove me" from the community to live in more security in the State of Michigan in 1902. Yes, I boldly say that the evidence obtained against me by special examiners in my just claim for a pension came from a corrupt source, and the worst of it, to the shame of the government, it is all, circumstantial, bad circumstantial evidence, in the face of real facts to the contrary notwithstanding, on file with the Pension Department. Extracts from an affidavit and letter from the Colonel of my regiment: "I send enclosed, filled out, my affidavit regarding your sickness in Cuba, and hope you will be able to get your pension. Our Cuban experience proves that no such thing as immunity from tropical diseases exist, for any one, especially an American. You were sick a great deal in Cuba. I remember seeing you about camp frequently while sick and looking in bad condition, and I have no shadow of a doubt that to your tropical services entirely such sickness was due." From affidavit: "To the best of my recollection he was taken sick in September, 1898, at camp, either at San Juan Hill or the one near San Louis, Cuba. Was sick a good deal, sometimes in the hospital; finally was given a leave of absence to return to the United States. He went to the United States because of his sickness and to recuperate therefrom. I cannot state precisely the disease, but believe he suffered from malignant tropical fevers and stomach troubles which so many had, and some died from." Extract from affidavit of Ex-LIeutenant Duncan, of my company L: "For about twenty years he has known P. L. Carmouche; that he used to see said P. L. Carmouche almost every day in his shop at work shooring horses and mules or wheekwrighting for years before he shut up shop, as far as he was personally concerned, to go to war; that said Carmouche seemed to be in good health; that he never during his acquaintance with said Carmouche, before he went to said war, heard him complain of piles or aliments of that kind; that while said P. L. Carmouche, first lieutenant, and himself second lieutenant, were in Cuba in Company L. Ninth Regiment, U. S. V. L. Carmouche became very sick with bowel trouble and afterwards piles; that he was present when the said P. L. Carmouche was examined physically by Dr. Dunchie on the 5th day of July, 1898, in True Friend Hall, in town of Donaldsville, La, and Captain Coleman was present also, cheeking up the findings of Dr. Dunchies as he gave them out; that he did not hear Dr. Dunchie call out piles or anything of the kind when he was examining said P. L. Carmouche." Extracts from affidavit Prof. V. P. Thomas: "That he has known Pierre L. Carmouche, the claimant, practically all of his life, and that for years prior to 1888 he was for hours almost every day with said Pierre L. Carmouche, with whom he was on the most friendly and intimate terms, and does not remember ever hearing him say or complain of having piles or anything of the land during the time; that said P. L. Carmouche was always one of the most active, energetic, healthy young men in the blacksmithing and horse-shoeing business or occupation in the town of Donaldsonville, La., and that when he left Donaldsonville in 1898 with the company of colored volunteers to join the Ninth Regiment of U. S. V. I. he was to all appearance in his usual excellent health and spirits." usual excellent health and spirits, He further declared that he remembers that J. H. Lowery, M. D., a local practicing physician, told him that said P. L. Carmouche had been examined by him and found to be in good physical condition and would in all probability be found in that condition by the Army Surgeon—meaning, of course, John F. Dunchie, the medical examiner, who was coming to Donaldsonville, L.a., to examine physically me and the men I was holding to be mustered in the Ninth Volunteer Regiment. Extracts from at least half a dozen more admissivs equally as explicit and important could be added, and a few other documents could be used in connection that would lend dignity to my fight against the unjust, unlawful and insulting attitude of the government in its numerous rejections of the pension. This story would be incomplete if I omitted the fact that I was one of very very rare and exceptional colored persons in Louisiana to hold insurance policies in the New York Life (or any other) insurance companies. They took no chances on colored persons, a fact which was well-known. Yet in 1895 after my medical examination by Dr. John D. Hanson, examiner for the New York Life Insurance Company at Donaldson, La., I held Policy No. 698,786, $1,000, fifteen year endowment. In 1896, after undergoing a second examination by Dr. Hanson, I was further insured in same company for another $1,000 policy, No. 713,785, fifteen year endowment. This most conclusive and damaging evidence against the government, of which the Department of Pensions has the two copies of said New York Life medical examinations—made for the purpose of this company's purpose to grant me—a colored man—life insurance, three and two years prior to my appointment as first lieutenant in U. S. V. I—one file. Does not this go to show the false, low, cowardly, niggardily and hellish work of special pension examiner and my enemies at Donaldsonville, Louisiana, in their testimony in my just and hard-earned title to place on the pension rolls of our government? Rest assured. Any colored man—and I doubt very much that you could count ten in 1895 and 1896 (two and three years prior to my appointment as first lieutenant, 1888), in the State of Louisiana, who was insured in New York Life—able to be so, insured was very much indeed a fit person in every particular to be admitted in the United States army physically, after passing physical examination by the government's surgeon for said services. But as we well know, the Afro-American, like my subject "Sambo," in my appeal to the New Orleans Picayune, in our war of '98, has no right to take up his place among those who have an honorable rating. It seems second nature with some people to discredit the noble deeds of colored men, every means, fair or foul, is used to accomplish it, and from the raw deal I received in that pension claim of mine, it must have been of the most foulest kind that was dealt me. With all of this continued discrimination or segregation, burning at the stake and other forms of assassinations, disfranchisement, repudiation of the war amendments, etc., against the citizens of color, added to all of this, the deprivations of the pensions of those colored Spanish-American War Veterans who done their full share of duty in 1898, is sufficient cause indeed to make every-loyal member of the race (loyal to his race) feel indifferent, not again justified to advise, nor offer his nor cause others to offer their lives and health in defence of a countries flag that repudiates their loyalty, patriotism and real worth. As much as I hate to think of it, yet this leaves us, as it were, in an awful predicament, "a people without a flag," it seems so from the treatment constantly given us. But—"Let the hair go with the hide"—no amount of our further defence of "Old Glory" in our sacrifices of health and blood could or would satisfy those who hate and will do their utmost to destroy and deprive us. At the price of any sacrifice to me, this is the stand I have taken. It is the stand that each and every Afro-American will be forced to take in the future if he ever intends to be a man among men in this country. In that carriage of death and destruction by those silent foes on and around San Juan Hill, of so many braves, my ability to survive it is proof that I was physically fit and should be considered as one of the survival of the fittest.

Degree From University Upon the Occasion of the Colored Republican League Meeting—Is a Leader of His Race—A Public Servant, Whose Services Are Appreciated—Has Distinguished Record as a Member of the Bar. (From Journal of Commerce, Philadelphia, Pa.) It is not necessary to win a battle on the field of sanguinary conflict, at the sacrifice of the interests of your fellow-creatures, or at the injury of a competitor invany of our activities in life to secure the good-will of all, but it is necessary that you should be a good citizen, guided by the best ideals and the welfare of your city and fellowmen as is true of Isaac Nutter, prominent lawyer, of Atlantic City, N. J., who, while speaking at a meeting of the Colored Republican League, was unexpectedly conferred with the honorary degree of LL. D., from the Wilberforce University by Dr. H. P. Anderson, pastor of the St. James' Church. No matter in what activity in life this good citizen figures, he is hound to win the respect and confidence of all with whom he comes in contact; and this is indicated by the great regard and esteem in which Dr. Nutter is held by those who know him and who are associated with him in daily life. Dr. Nutter's character is the best attribute that any person in public life could possess, and this is well reflected in this latest honor which has been conferred upon him as a tribute of his worthiness, and in the estimation of the hundreds of his fellowmen, who were present on this auspicious occasion, there was excellent reason for paying this compliment to Dr. Nutter, and it showed that Dr. Nutter's genial ISAAC H. NUTTER. qualities and pleasing personality and his desire at all times to help in the betterment of the social and material condition of his fellowman, was recognized and appreciated. Aside from this particular honor being received, Dr. Nutter was also significantly honored by the reception which he received on this occasion by all of those present; for no knight of old in his coat of mail, returning after war's wild blasts were over, was ever given more enthusiastic greeting than that extended to Dr. Nutter; for those present recognized that he has been a firm supporter and effective contributor to Republican victories in this district, for he is an ardent Republican, ever loyal to the tenets of the party, and his record in politics is one that has brought forth commendable results, not only for his home ward but the entire city as well. It is much for Dr. Nutter to have the gratitude and good-will of his neighbors, as it is not every person who can be thus favored, and what he has done in the past in the integral interests of the welfare of his race, may well serve as an index of what he is capable of accomplishing in the future, and it is the hearty wish of the "Journal of Commerce" that Dr. Nutter may be with them for many years to come, contributing to their advancement and following his same excellent and efficient method of living, which is so well worthy of emulation. We might refer to Dr. Nutter as being a model of his race, as an example for the Negro to follow in his steps and attain, bigger and nobler things. Dr. Nutter is a second Booker Washington, and we congratulate him upon his wisdom and discernment, which prompted him to make so much out of the opportunities of his life; and since the great success with which he has met, has come as the result of intelligent and well-anplied effort, it indeed well merits these few words of congratulation.

Calvin Chase, Editor of The Bee, Washington, D. C. Dear Friend.. There is some information that I am seeking to find out in regard to the several departments in Washington. Knowing you as well as I do I know of no one that could give me this information that I want for the benefit of our race than you. The Committee of One Hundred, citizens of Jersey, having some influence with members of Congress have decided at a recent meeting to take up the segregation questions of the departments in Washington with their Congressmen. Before doing so we wanted something definite besides simply newspaper talk. Now if there is any way for you to give me the information I am about to ask for it would be greatly appreciated by me and by the Committee of One Hundred. Practically ever since the inauguration of President, Wilson allegation have been made in our New York weekdays, the Age and the Amsterdam News, of discrimination against our people in the various departments of the government at Washington, and many instances of the dismissal of colored office-holders has been cited in which white persons were appointed as their successors. The allegations have been so persistent that at a recent meeting of our Committee of One Hundred of Hudson County a resolution was adopted to appoint a committee to investigate their statements and report at the next meeting. As secretary of the committee, I am wishing you to ask you to favor us with whatever information you may have in your possession bearing upon the situation. If possible will you inform me for the benefit of our citizens on the following matters: 1. Did the Bureau of Engraving and Printing recently adopt a regulation requiring colored employees and white employees to dine separately in dining rooms specially provided for them. 2. Has separate lavatories been provided for colored employees in the general postoffice and Treasury Departments and the office of the Recorder of Deeds, and Register of the Treasury, and are they required to use them under penalty, of incurring the displeasure of their superior officers for refusing to do so. 3. Are you aware of any hostile legislation contemplated on of an hills introduced or to be introduced in Congress affecting the Negro? 4. From whom can we secure copies of ordinances or regulations in the departments affecting colored employees if such exist? Yours respectfully. J. C. GUNNELL. Washington, D. C., July 31, 1913. The Committee of One Hundred, of Hudson County, Jersey City, N. J. Gentlemen: July 31 ultimo, I received a letter from you representing a Committee of One Hundred of Hudson County, Jersey City, N. J., requesting certain information concerning the segregation of the colored race in the several departments of the government. Appreciating the confidence you have in me, I shall give you unvarnished facts. Answering question one: Yes, there is gross discrimination and segregation in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Colored employees were segregated under the Taft administration by Director Ralph, a white Republican, and when the Democratic administration came into power colored employees were directed to eat at separate lunch tables in the lunch room. Another recent order was promulgated segregating white and colored women in certain divisions. Second: Yes, Postmaster General Burleson issued an order segregating colored and white employees and directing the colored employees to use separate toilets. A similar order was issued by Assistant Secretary Williams, of Virginia, to all of the Chiefs in the Treasury Department, requesting the Register, Hon. James C. Napier, refused to issue the order and he immediately sent his resignation to the President, who nominated Mr. A. E. Patterson, a colored Democrat, to succeed him. Answering your third question, I beg leave to inform you that all kinds of hostile legislation against colored Americans, has been introduced in Congress by Democrats. Vardaman threatened to offer a bill repealing the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, Hefflin, of Alabama, Thompson, of Oklahoma, Johnson, of Tennessee and other Democratic Senators and Representatives in Congress have introduced in Congress bills that are inimical and hostile to colored Americans. The New York Age and Amsterdam News have correctly informed you of conditions in many of the departments; they are worse than they were in the 'days of slavery and whenever a Southern man has charged, the colored American stands in danger of segregation, humiliation and damnation. Write to your Congressman and he will secure for you all the hostile bills that have been introduced in Congress by the Southern Cracker. No Northern Democrat' or Republican has as yet introduced any inimical legislation against colored Americans. Very respectfully. W. CALVIN CHASE. NONCOMMITTAL. Continues Silent on the Colored Citizen—Editor Chase's Letter to President Wilson—Has the Colored American Any Hope Under a Democratic Administration? President of the United States. Dear Sir: I have been informed that certain colored Democrats, both local and national, who supported you in the last Democratic election, informed you that they are in favor of the segregation of the races in the several departments of the government. I have also been informed that the several chiefs in the several departments of the government issued an order of segregation with your knowledge and approval. Is not this discriminatory order a violation of the constitutional rights of colored Americans? Is this right or just to the colored people of this country? I do not mean the so-called Negro Democrat who supported the Democratic party for revenue only, but I mean men who believe in equality of citizenship and manhood rights regardless of parties, or men, the representative of parties. As a Christian, as you claim to be, as a President of the United States, you are expected to represent all persons regardless of color or condition. Is not this order of segregation a blot on the civilization of this boasted republic of which you are the head? Why does the sentiment of segregation come from Southern men only, who have been appointed to offices by you? Is this the echo of secession? Hasn't the South realized that the sentiment of the Civil War is about dead? Tell me, if you please, is there any hope for colored Americans under your administration? From existing conditions we see nothing but oppression, discrimination, segregation and deprived citizenship. What shall we hope? Very respectfully, WM: CALVIN CHASE, Editor of The Bee. Washington, August 4, 1913. My Dear Sir: Your letter of August 2 has been received and will be brought to the attention of the President. Very truly yours. J. P. TUMULTY, Secretary to the President. Mr. W. Calvin Chase. 1109 I Street Northwest. Washington, D. C. Religious Activities at Galbraith On Sunday, August 3, notwithstanding the extreme heat, a splendid audience greeted the pastor.

The following resolution was submitted by Mr. Clapp, by request, and it was ordered to lie on the table. On August 2 it was referred to the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads: "Whereas, it is reported that there has been a segregation order issued by some unknown source or authority in the Post Office Department; and "Whereas, the cleftks and employees have worked together peacefully for over fifty years; and "Whereas, the said segregation order will cost the Government of the United States over $150,000; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads be, and they are hereby, authorized to inquire into and to report by what authority the said segregation order was issued and what necessity, if any, exists for such order in the executive department after fifty years of perfect peace among the employees of the department, which order makes it very inconvenient for the clerks."

Statistics Show That Married Men Attempt Suicide More Frequently Than Unmarried Ones—Single Women Criminals More Numerous. New York.—Many more unmarried than married men commit crimes, according to the report of Henry D. Sayer, chief clerk of the district attorney's office. The report shows that in 1912 there were 789 convictions of married men in general sessions and in the criminal branch of the supreme court and that there were 2,068 convictions of unmarried men. There were 66 convictions of married women and 100 convictions of unmarried women. Records show that in the last nine years there have been 18,406 convictions of unmarried men, while among men who had at some time led a bride to the altar there were but 7,670 convictions. The unmarried men excel in almost every crime on the calendar. The most notable exception is in the case of attempted suicide. Last year the ratio was three married men to one unmarried. The report also shows that about three-fourths of the men who are brought into court are under thirty years of age. Of the 2,857 men convicted last year 940 were under the age of twenty and 1,278 were between twenty-one and thirty years old. After the age of thirty the ratio gradually decreases, there being but five men over seventy who last year were convicted of any crime. Out of 28,079 persons convicted in the last nine years 11,052 were between the ages of twenty-one and thirty and 8,203 were between fifteen and twenty years. Among the women two-thirds of those convicted were under thirty. It is also apparent from the report that in the last nine years there has been a gradual increase in the number of young men of criminal tendencies, the number of convictions of male criminals under the age of thirty having increased from 1.700 in 1904 to 2.200 in 1912. On the other hand, the number of convictions of men over the age of thirty has remained about stationary. The report shows that the office disposed of 6,651 actions during the year. There were 3.023 convictions in general sessions and the supreme court, of which 2.383 were upon pleas of guilty and 640 upon verdicts after trial. There were 321 trials that resulted in acquittal. There were more convictions for murder in the first degree than in any other year in the history of the county. Thirteen persons were convicted of first degree murder, while the highest number appearing in the records of other years is eight. It is also worthy of note that for the first time on record in this county four men were jointly tried and each found guilty of murder in the first degree. The average sentence imposed was five years and six months, and the total state prison terms amounted to 3,031 years. The longest sentences were for burglary in the first degree. There has been a gradual increase in the length of sentences imposed since 1904, when the average was four years and six months. The most frequent crime was grand larceny, with 600 convictions. Next came burglary, with 492 convictions. READING BRAIN OF DEAD MAN? Believed Thoughts Were Visible. Strange Request In Will. Cambridge. Masa-Scientists in the Harvard Medical school are trying to read the brain of the late Dr. Maurice Howe Richardson, ex-member of faculty of that institution. The examinations are being conducted secretly in the neuropathological department and under the direction of Dr. E. E. Southard. Dr. Richardson was a firm believer that thoughts made definite lines in the brain, and the present examination is being conducted in accordance with his wishes as expressed in his will. He believed that a person's thoughts were recorded and were at the time of thinking visible on the outer walls of the cerebrum. He held that if these lines were read and the seat of the thought located it would make it possible to correct defects in the brain by surgical operations. Overladen Apple Trees Hutchinson, Kan.-Because the apples are so thick on the trees in the big Reno county orchards gangs of men are being hired to go through the orchards and knock green apples from the trees. This is necessary, the fruit growers explain, to prevent the boughs from breaking down under the weight of the growing fruit. Dog Stops Court Case Walla Walla. Wash.-Leslie G. Korkman's dog Chinner stopped a case in the superior court while he caught a mouse. The dog is a fox terrier and was in court with his master. The sight of a fat mouse was too much.

McCollough, a convict on the Monroe county chain gang, to advertise his body for sale to the highest bidder. His advertisement reads: For Sale--To the highest bladder foot cash. I offer my body, which is six feet high. weight 175 pounds, is large frame, well proportioned, forty years of age and Caucasian race. I have a sentence of eighteen years for killing a negro in Griffin in 1911 and have no prospects, no hopes and no friends; hence, being in bad health, I am asking this proposition. Any one wishing to consummate a trade address Thomas A. McColough, box 271, care Monroe county convict camp. Self sworn never again to have anything to do with his relatives, he is now in mortal fear that his body after death will be turned over to them for burial. This fear has been increased by the physician's statement that he is suffering from heart disease and has not long to live. The money which his body would bring is a secondary matter to the convict. His one real desire is that death shall not stop the breach between himself and his family. MILLIONAIRE DAY WORKER. Yale Man Puts In Long Hours at Rubber Factory. Boston.—Dinner pall in hand, young Ellisha S. Converse. Yale student and a millionaire son of a multimillionaire, steps from his Beacon street home into a costly automobile, drives over to a Malden rubber shoe factory and tolls nine hours in a room where the temperature is hardly ever less than 100 degrees. This happens every weekday. Young Converse is determined to learn his father's business from top to bottom, but instead of beginning at the top he has begun at the bottom. The father is Colonel Harry E. Converse of Marion, rubber manufacturer and prominent vachtsman. Sometimes young Converse has to handle redhot heels which he puts on the rubber shoes. He swings big shears, too, with which, he cuts off the corners of the heels. All in all, his work at his bench in the heel room is considered a pretty hot job. STOP HUGE WASTE OF NATURAL GAS U. S. Experts Make Saving of $13,000,000 a Year. Washington.—According to Van H. Manning, assistant to the director of the United States bureau of mines, experts of the bureau have given a noteworthy demonstration of scientific conservation of natural resources that has resulted in a saving of 150,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas daily in Oklahoma. This gas is estimated as worth $37,500, or $13,000,000 a year. The two employees of the bureau of mines who are credited with having accomplished this result are A. J. Pollard of Bakersfield, Cal., and A. G. Heggen of Pittsburgh. They are regularly attached to the bureau as oil experts. They were sent to Oklahoma by Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the bureau. It was estimated at the time Pollard and Heggen entered the Oklahoma field that every day 250,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas, worth $02,500, was being wasted. That meant a loss of $23,000,000 a year. Operators and drillers were skeptical of the assertion of the two experts that they could prevent waste by a certain system of drilling, but, according to Mr. Manning, they have reached the conclusion that the experts were right and are making preparations to stop the waste. "CONSCIENCE FUND" SLUMP. Receipts For Fiscal Year Only $2,814, Lowest Since 1901. Washington. — Uncle Sam's "conscience fund" received in the twelve months ended June 30 last only $2,814.44, the lowest amount for any one year since 1901 and comparable with a hundred year average of $4,200. In the last 100 years the government has received conscience contributions aggregating $434,615.69. The fund was established in President Madison's administration in 1811, when the first contribution of $5 was received. The largest amount ever received in one year was $35,868 in 1902, and the greatest individual contribution, $18,669.60, was made to the collector of customs in New York more than a decade ago by an unknown. ICEBERGS REAL TERRORS. Captains Who Were on Patrol Duty Issue Timely Warnings. Washington.—Icebergs are the real terrors of the sea, giving no warning of their approach in thick weather, and the only rational course for a navigator to adopt when his ship is in a fog in their vicinity is to stop and wait for the haze to lift. This, in effect, is the burden of the reports of Captains C. E. Johnston and A. S. Gamble of the cutters Seneca and Miami, which from April to July patrolled the transatlantic lane of travel to prevent a repetition of the Titanic disaster. "The only safe way to navigate in regions of icebergs," warned Captain Johnston. "is to stop during thick weather and to run very slowly on dark nights." ROOSTER INJURES BOY. One Eye Picked Out as He Tried to Protect Sister. South Norwalk, Conn.-Mabel, the four-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Griver Lent of this place, was knocked down by a rooster, and her brother Victor, one year her senior, who went to her rescue, had one eye picked out and the other one seriously injured. Mabel had gone to collect eggs in the bennery when the rooster, a large Plymouth Rock, pounced on her and bore her to the ground. The rooster's spurs lacerated her arms and legs, and she cried out in pain. Had she not held her arm over her face she might have fared the same as did her brother Her screams brought Victor to her side. He attempted to tight the rooster, only to be knocked down and seriously injured. The children's parents hurried to the scene. The father chopped off the head of the rooster and threw him in the river. Physicians hope to save Victor's right eye, but the left is gone entirely. MAN MAY HAVE BEAUTY. Board of Arbitration Gives Damages For Loss of it. Danville, Ill.-A board of arbitration in the case of a machinist, Charles Chick, against the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad, under the compensation law, has decided that a man can possess beauty and obtain damages for loss of it. Chick was struck in the eye by a piece of steel last September when at work. The pupil was destroyed, and he asked damages for loss of time, for the handicap by reason of loss of the eye and loss of beauty. The railway company claimed that a man does not possess such a thing as beauty, but the board decided Chick's appearance had been damaged $200 and that he suffered $500 more in damages to his eye and in loss of time. The board was comprised of five attorneys named by the court and was headed by Arthur Hall, famous University of Illinois football coach. Birmingham, Ala.—With the purpose of taking all of the thousands of Alabama convicts out of the mines, number mills and turpentine camps a state wide movement to abolish the obnoxious lease system is in progress, participated in by the best element of citizenship in the state. At a great mass meeting addresses were made picturing the greed, graft and cruelty of the system, and announcement was made that it would be a fight to a finish between the state's humanitarian spirit on the one side and corporations and professional politicians on the other. The spirit of the movement was embodied in the question "Shall we send the man who has served his sentence back home a better citizen or drive him to slavery and criminal mania?" Instances were cited where men had been sentenced to long terms at mine labor for shooting craps, neglecting to work on the roads and stealing rides on trains. Mrs. Julia Tutwiler, noted for her work for prison reform in the south, sent a message of indorsement, in which she pleaded for night schools for convicts, bumane hygienic conditions and other reforms tending to make the life of the man in stripes endurable. An executive committee was appointed to carry the fight into all of the sixty-seven counties of the state and pave the way for a deciding battle in the next legislature. Captain Frank S White of Birmingham, former chairman of the Democratic state executive committee and for years general counsel of the mine workers of Alabama, was made chairman of the committee. Twenty other representative men of influence throughout the state will help in whirlwind campaign. In addition each county will have a strong committee. For years there has been talk of ugly treatment of the convicts in the mines, number camps and turpentine mills. In half a dozen or more explosions in coal mines within a few years a hundred or more convicts had been killed. But nobody seemed to worry over their fate. The state leases about a thousand convicts to several large coal mining and lumber industries and nets from it over half a million dollars a v after feeding, clothing and gn the men. An average of thir us a month is paid to the state. convict is required to do a cer k. Pearl In Oyster Co Chicago.—Mrs. M. J.

Leavenworth, Kan.—Twenty-five murders committed with an ax within the last three years in Missouri, Kansas Colorado, Iowa and Illinois are ascribed to Henry Lee Moore, now serving a life term in the Missouri pententary according to a theory formed by M. W McClaughry, special agent of the department of justice, after an exhaustive study of the so called ax murders Mr. McClaughry is a son of Warder McClaughry of the federal penitentiary here and has charge of the bureau or criminal identification at the penitentiary. Moore went to the penitentiary as Jefferson City after being found guilty of the murder of his mother and grandmother, Mrs. Mary Wilson and Mrs. George Moore, at Columbus, Mo., in December last year. Moore, on trial said he had made a study of famous murders, including the Crippen case in England. AN UNUSUAL MORTGAGE Farmer Puts Up Chickens, Hogs and Revolver as Security. Washington, Ga.—There was placed on record in the office of the clerk of Wilkes county what is considered the most unusual mortgage ever recorded in this or any other county. The security named in the recorded instrument consists of the following valuable property—to wit: "Nine chicken hens, two sow hogs and a 32 caliber pistol." The amount of the debt thus secured is $23, and it is provided that if the obligation is not met at maturity the property mentioned therein shall be sold at public outcry. All homestead exemption rights are waived by the maker of the mortgage. The question is being asked, "Does this mortgage emphasize the increasing value of the 'hog and hominy' propaganda, or is it but another indication of the extreme stringency in the land about which so much has been said and written—which?" TABLOID BOOZE IS SERVED IN MAINE One May Carry Whisky or Beer In Vest Pocket. Bangor, Me.—A Maine sheriff might find a barrel of beer or even a jug of whisky, but he can't find a beer lozenge or a cocktail tablet, and over that glad fact the thirsty of this state are rejoicing now. For the tabloid booze drummer has come to Maine and is doing a rushing business in condensed drinks of all kinds, from plain whisky to cocktails and from beer to gin flizzes. The drummer carries a considerable stock of the tablets with him for immediate demands and arranges for further and unlimited supplies by mail. Many bars in Bangor, Lewiston and Portland are selling tabloid drinks, while a great many men who just must have their whisky or beer when they want it have obtained their own supplies and make their liquor at home while they wait, and the wait is not long. Nobody here knows anything about the constituent elements of the tablets but nobody cares so long as they produce something that looks and tastes like liquor. The tablets come in little paper boxes or glass bottles of a dozen each and the price varies. A small phil o one kind of tablets, costing 13 cents dissolved in a gallon of water, with other ingredients costing 50 cents makes a gallon of what passes for whisky - total cost, 63 cents. It is not whisky that would appeal to a con notseur, for it burns and blites all the way down, but is as near to whisky as a good many people are able to get in some parts of Maine, and it "goes." WHISTLING CAT HAS HARELIP Animal Never Has Mewed, but Is Musical Prodigy. Springfield, Mass.-Stanislaus Czynszky of Prospect avenue, West Springfield, is the owner of a cat with a harelip, which whistles with the scillity of a schoolboy, but cannot mew or at least, never has mewed. Czynszky is inclined to believe that no animal in its normal state of mind would whistle, but is loath to do away with the cat, which, he says, attracts more attention than any other member of the family and is regarded as a musical prodigy. Neighbors have suggested that the cat would prove a treasure to a maker of catgut violin strings. Hen Lava Tiniest of Eggs Vancouver, Wash.—An egg weighing but fifteen grains, laid by a real live hen, is the property of Mrs. Harvey Alexander of this city. The egg, about half the size of a hazelnut, is but 1-3/4 part of a pound. Mrs. Alexander found an egg with a soft shell, which crushed in when she picked it up, and inside was the small egg, perfect in shape and with a hard shell. 11th Born to 11th of 11th: Lawrenceburg, Ind.— An eleventh daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Silas W. Jackson of Miller township. Mrs. Jackson is the eleventh daughter of an eleventh daughter of a family in which there were no boys. The new arrival weighed nearly ten pounds and is thriving. GENERAL CHANGES IN POSTAL SYSTEM CARRY HEAVIER PACKAGES. Maximum Weight to Be Twenty Pounds—Postmaster General Expects Eventually to Make It a Hundred Pounds—Government Buys Autos For Delivery Purposes. Washington.—Plans for the extension, improvement and reduction in rates of the parcel post were announced by Postmaster General Burleson. The changes, which are to become effective on Aug. 15, include an increase from eleven pounds to twenty pounds in the maximum weight of parcels; a material reduction in the postage rates in the first and second zones, the abandonment of the parcel post map as a means of computing rates and the substitution for it of a rate chart individualized to every postoffice in the United States. The plans contemplate the purchase of a large number of automobiles to be used exclusively for the delivery of parcel post matter. While for the present the maximum weight limit of twenty pounds and the reduction in rates will apply only to 1930 Photo © by American Press Association. POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLESON. the first and second zones, from any given postoffice—a distance of about 150 miles—the changes directed consti- tute the first long step toward a universal extension of the system and a general reduction in the rate of postage on parcel matter. "It is my expectation and belief," said the postmaster general, "that eventually—and it may be fifteen or twenty years—the postal service will handle practically all of the small package transportation business in the United States. The maximum weight limit, extended now from eleven to twenty pounds, I expect to see increased to 100 pounds, and experience may demonstrate the practicability of handling the parcel business at even lower rates than we now propose. "In the making of extensions and reductions of rates it is necessary for us to proceed with caution, so as to afford ample opportunity to prepare for the increased business. For that reason we have made the changes proposed apply only to the first and second zones. I appreciate fully the sentiment for an increase in the weight limit and a reduction in rates to all zones, but it is necessary for us in a sense to feel our way." ONE SQUIRREL DID IT ALL. Brought Out Police and Lured Two Men Near Death. Atlantic City, N. J.-Two men were nearly fatally shocked, police reserves were called out and business temporarily suspended in the center of the city because of the antics of a gray squirrel which escaped from a store, climbed a telegraph pole and then walked over a mile of wire along the main thoroughfare of the city. The two men had a close call when they climbed poles and tried to capture the squirrel. Thereafter a squad of police followed its trail to keep others from climbing the poles. At night the squirrel camped on a pole on the board walk. Next day he was electrocuted while endeavoring to go back over the route he covered. Hard Cider In Cistern. Bonner Springs, Kan.-The discovery of a clistern filled with hard cider on a farm near Bonner Springs has solved a mystery that has baffled the law officers of Wyandotte county for more than a year. Frequent complaints had been filed with the prosecuting attorney that many men and boys in this vicinity were being ruined by strong drink, but the utmost vigilance failed to disclose the source of liquor supply. The clistern was found by one of the prosecutor's assistants, disguised as a farm hand. The farmer who owned the clistern was enjoined from selling or making cider, and the clistern and its contents were destroyed. CANNOT SLEEP ON BED. Twenty Years In Cell Units Paroled Convict For Real Bed. Topeka, Kan.—Morgan Wright, sent to prison in 1803 from Cowley county for complicity in the murder of a con- stable and released on parole by Gover- nor Hodges, found that a free bed was so soft he was unable to sleep his first night out of prison. Wright came to Topeka to thank the governor. He is on his way to see his father in Shawnee, Okla., and then will go to California to begin life anew. "I didn't sleep well last night," said Wright to the governor. "It was the first real bed I have slept in for nearly twenty years. "When I left the prison yesterday I didn't know which way to turn or what to do. It was all so new and strange to me. Every one seemed so busy and in such a hurry that I can't quite understand it. Even the school children rushed along the street. But I think if the world is such a busy place that there must be some place for me, and I am going to try to find it." STREET STREW WITH BILLS. Thought to Be Robber's Plunder by Government Officials. Leavenworth, Kan.—Three postoffice inspectors have begun an investigation of the finding of hundreds of dollars in gold certificates believed to be a portion of $50,000 stolen by Charles Savage from a mail, truck in the Union station in Kansas City five years ago. Developments show that persons have been finding the certificates, mostly of the $20 denomination, for a month and have kept the matter secret. It is estimated that at least $1,000 has been picked up in gutters, vacant lots and back yards. All the money was discovered within a radius of eight blocks of the home of a relative of Charles Savage at whose house he stopped before his arrest. One theory of the investigators is that the money was concealed in a tree and dislodged by recent high winds. UNEXPLORED REGION MAY BE A BONANZA Indications That Upper Hayes River Is Rich In-Gold. Edmonton, Alberta. — George Gardiner of Ottawa is in Edmonton outfitting for a trek over the trail of romance to the Upper Hayes river district to prospect a gold claim located by a man he believes to have been his uncle on the bank of the Peace river in 1808, during the rush to the Yukon, when this city was made the starting point of the overland trail to the Klondike. The story told here by Gardiner is that during the Klondike rush three prospectors went into the Hayes river country, which, except for a small part along the river near Vermillon, is unexplored. One of the party-was found on the river bank a year afterward. The man was emaciated and lived only a few hours, but in his last few minutes of life told of a fight with Indians, who killed his two companions. He had in his possession samples of the richest gold. It could have been procured in no other place, so it may be that unexplored territory is rich in the yellow metal. Though the hinterland has been explored to points within the arctic circle, the Upper Hayes river country still remains a vast unknown stretch. Remarking upon the fact, an old timer in the north country said he had never known of a white man getting far into that part of the country. From Edmonton to Peace river crossing by way of Athabasca is 400 miles, and outside of about a fifty mile stretch beyond Peace river crossing and the Upper Hayes still lies a great unexplored land of rolling and, so far as is known, open country. It is inhabited by the Dog Bills tribe of Indians. The territory runs clear through to the mountains on the British Columbia side, and it is supposed that a large number of "bad Indians" have settled in there. HORSE LEADS TO CROOKS' DEN Police Follow Unguided Animal to Resort of Thieves. Spokane, Wash. After a horse had led detectives to a house occupied by two men already under bond because of larceny charges warrants were issued charging the two men with attempts to rob. The horse had been left behind in a lumber yard when Detective Benway shot at the men and in return was shot through the left leg. The horse, attached to the wagon, was turned loose and, followed by the two detectives, went to a house in the suburbs that the police alleged was occupied by the men named in the warrants. Ram Grows Oat Crop. Gallon, O.—In addition to a fine coat of wool, a ram owned by David Lynch, a farmer, has a covering of flourishing oats. The ram wallowed around in a straw stack and got oats in his wool. Then it was rained on. Next the sun shone brightly. This continued several days, with the result that the oats sprouted. Lynch calculates that in case of drought he can save this crop of oats since if the rain won't come to the crop he can move the crop to the rain. ° oss f 5 \ i i ‘ak INFANTS SAVED | FROM TORTURE Thirty Thousand Dally Saved From Damnation.

What Can Be Done For the Non- Elect and Non-Regenerate Infants of the Past?—Pastor Russell Not Able to Agree, Although Sympathetic—His View of it a8 Outlined In the Bible. London, August 3—A Bible Stu- dents Convention has been in. prog- ress here several days in the Lon don Tabernacle. Lancaster Gate, W. Pastor Rus- sell delivered two addresses today. We report one of them, from’ the text, “Elso were your children un- be 8s = : FASIOK KUSSELL)) text, “Else were ~ your ehidren un- hols, but now are they hols."—1 Co- rinthlans 7:14. . ‘The Pastor declared that his text, which differentiated between holy and not boly Infants, was probably the ba- sls for: much of the confusion which has prevailed in all denominations on the subject of infant salvation and in- fant damnation. Before discussing his text, he wished to call the attention of bis bearers to the fact that about ‘two months ago the Presbyterian Gen- eral Assembly in the United States had taken a very advanced theological step on this subject. According to telegraphic dispatches, {t has altered the Presbyterian Confession of Faith fo a8 to save the non-elect infants as Well as the elect ones. ‘The thought that God had arranged a Plan by which some infants would go to Heaven at death, and other Infants would go to eternal torture, has for centuries greatly troubled the minds of all Christian people—Catholle and Protestant. Some sald that the elect Infants would be saved and the non- elect infants would be tortured. Oth- ers bad it that any infant by baptism “wonld be brought into the Church and be saved, while infants not thus bap- tized or sprinkled would go to eternal torture. Others had it that none could be saved without regeneration, and these were perplexed to know how In- fants could be sald to be regenerated. ‘Therefore how could they hope that any infants would be saved? The hearts and the heads of all good people have suffered terribly for many centu- ries because of these confused ideas, It Is gratifying. the Pastor declared, to see that with the Presbyterians, at least, love and sympathy have triumph- e4; and that, so far as they are con: cerned, thirty thousand Infants dally go to Heaven, instead of going to Hell. Certainty this is a missionary project of no mean proportions! At this rate they no doubt believe that Heaven will soon begin to bave reasonable propor tlons, as compared with Hell. We re gret that the brethren did not take an} ‘measures looking toward the relief o! fhe non-elect infants of the past wh now must number thousands of mill Mone. It is worthy uf consideration and we trust will have thelr attention ‘And since the matter is so easily ad justed, why would {t not be the prope thing for all Christian denomination: to follow the lead and example of thi Presbyterians?

Unable to Agres.

For if there are no non-elect Infants, then all Infants are elect; and If elect when Infants, how could their predes- tnation change with advancing years? His sympathetic advice to Presbyte- rian brethren Is, tbat the entire creed be recast; or, better still, that it and all other creeds be abandoned, and the Bible as a whole be accepted. Then, he argued, all Bible students could come togetber without prejudice for mutual assistance and untrammeled growth in grace along Bible lines. While the Pastor mentioned Presby- terians, his thought included all Chris- tans, For surely many others than Presbyterians bave been consigning adults and Infants to the number of at Teast 90,000 every day, or 32,000,000 every year, to eternal torture, If not because non-clect, then because un- Tegenerate, or unbaptized, Surely all {atellizent people are out of accord with such a proposition, Surely all must agree that some great mistake has been made during the Dark Ages, and that under the influence of that mistake, as expressed in our creeds, our God has been slandered. - Surely today every thinking person will con- cede that a human belng planning such atrocities would be a thousand times more devilish than any one known in history. And surely our great God, our Creator, could ‘not be worse than the worst and most de Praved of all Eis creatures, , On the contrary, God must of neces: sity be the very personification of all the graces—Justlce, Wisdom, Love and Power, Evidently the God who fore: knew ‘and determined to send these 32,000,000 human beings per year toan eternity of torture would not only not bea God at all, but would be the most terrible devil that the human mind could conceive! Bible Students are realizing that a great mistake has occurred, and that the Bible teaches nothing of the kind we had supposed. More and more, as the“eyes of thelr understanding open to proper Interpretations of God's Word, they are appreciating the Di- vine character, and the Bible as never before. : The Pastor declared that a week from now he will consider some of the Master's dirk sayings, and show how they have been misinterpreted and misapplied. Today he must content himself with the subject in hand, He must discuss God's relationship to the heathen and to infants, 7 He Still Sees Difficulties. As we understand {t, sald the Pas. tor, our Presbyterian friends have changed the statement of the creed, which formerly read, “Elect infants dying In infaney are saved"—taking out the word “elect,” and letting {1 read, “Infants dying in Infancy are saved.” But this true? Do out Presbyterian fricnds believe this? Come. let us reason together. Are not the children as well as the more matured members of Adam's family born in sin and misshapen in iniquity’ Are not all of these by nature “chil dren of wrath"? Did not every mem ber of Adam's famtly come under hi: seatence and participate In the pen alty, or curse, of bis sin—"Dying, thot shalt die"? Is not this the reasot that Infants die at all? Will not al concede that bad there been no sli there would have been no death in’th human family? Does not St. Paul dis tinctly state this, saying, “By on '|man's disobedience sin entered th world, and death as the result of sit ]and thus death passed upon all me | because all are sinners’’?— Roman : 5:12; Psalm 61:5. "| All Condemned Need Redemption. | Surely ll Christian people, Presby "| tertans especially, will agree with m | that the sentence of death, passed upo "| Father Adam and Inherited by bi _|race, must needs be settled, cancelle¢ | before any of his posterity, old < ' | young, could be released from the pet | alty. ‘Troe, we all agree that the deat of the Lord Jesus Christ ts the redem| || tlon-price and that He provided it mor | than elghteen centuries ago, But ¢ || we not also agree that Jesus’ death, | itself, saves nobody; that His merit b | comes applicable merely to us of th || Church at such tlme as we,belleve | it and accept if, appropriating It to ou | selves? | Is not this the proclamation of th 1!

And do we not a agtee that faith cannot be exercise ‘}except by a more or less develops ‘| mind? Hence alf should agree thi we not also agree that Jesus’ death, of itself, saves nobody; that His merit be- comes applicable merely to us of the Church at such tine as we,belleve in it and accept it, appropriating It to our- selves? "Is not thls the proclamation of the Gospel Age—Belleve! Belleve! Do we not remember the Bible declaration that we are Justified by faith, not by being infants? And do we not ail agree that faith cannot be exercised except by a more or less developed mind? Hence alf should agree that the Scriptural proposition fs, that all infants shared {n Adam's sentence of death, and bave provision also in the redemptive work of Jesis. Nev- ertheless, they can be saved only by coming to a knowledge of God and of Jesus, and by then exercising faith and obedience to the extent of ability. We belleve this to be an undebatable Proposition. If this be so then our Presbytertan brethren averstate the matter ‘wher they declare that all infants dying tn {nfancy are saved. They might very properly ray. All Infants dying tn in fancy, and everybody else, come under the provision of Divine grace in Christ, and must all be brought to a know! edge of the Truth, that they may be saved; and then when thus brought tc know the Lord and the terms of salva tion, the results will’ depend upor themielves. If they nccept, they ma} have the everlasting Ife provided; 1 they reject. they will experience th Second Death. What Say the Scriptures? Wo have already intimated the teach lng of the Bible. All mankind cam under the Divine curse, or sentence 0 death—nut eternal torment. “In dui time Christ died for the ungodls"—fo born since—for white and black, old and young—of every nation. Because 6f this general redemption, cotstensive with the curse, or sentence of death, there is to be a recovery from the curse of death. All mankind are thus to be made amenable to a release from the death penalty—to have the oppor- tunity of a resurrection out of #ln and death conditions back to pérfect Ife ronditions. Only those who wilfully and intelligently reject this grace of God will die the Second Death—be blotted out as though they had never been—perish like natural brute beasts. 2 Peter 2:12. From this standpolut we see that no- body 4s saved yet. All—both infants and adults, heathen and Christlans— go to Sheol, Hades, the tomb, the state of death. All are sald to sleep in Sheol, Hades, the tomb, until the glor!- ‘ous Morning of the New Dispensation, Messiah's Klogdom of glory. Then the Church wiil constitute the First Res- urrection class, to Heavenly glories and Wonors and Divine uature. Following this, the Church with her Lord will relgn as kings and pflests, for the blessing of the entire human family, of all ages, nationalities and colors. In other words, according to the BI. blo noue have gong to Heaven. As Jesus said, “No man hath ascended fnto Hearen." «Jobn 3:13) Hence there are no Infants in Heaven, All infants who bave died bave gone to the Bible hell. the tomb, and “know not anything.” ‘They merely await the time when the Kingdom sball be In power, and the awakening processes shall begin to operate; and*they shall come forth from death—each in bis own band, or company.—1 Corinthians 15:23; John 5:28, 29. Hope For All Children, } There ty another theological theory. which has no Scriptural foundation, but which clalms that every infant 1s immortal, and that the present life. long or short, favorable or unfavora- ble, constitutes the only opportunity ever to be enjoyed for reforming char- acter and becoming At for a happy eternity. Hence, according to this un- scriptural theory, the children of unbe- Mevers—concetved and born in sin and depravity 1s are all’mankind, more or less—are unprepared for an eternity of bliss, and consequently must spend that eternity in pain and horror. But let us rid the mind of this false theory, und go by Scripture alone. As the Word of God declares, “God onls hath Immortality." Therefore no In fants are Immortal. When God said “The soul that slnneth it shall die," He meant it. When Mle declared, “All the wicked will I destroy,” He meant it ‘The penalty upon Adam and his race {s death; and therefore childres and all others die because of Adam's sin, The worst that can befall the children of unbellevers would be death What, then, Is the Scriptural hope for the children of unbellevers? It I exactly the sume as for the cbllren o! salnts; namely, that-Christ Jesus ow Lord tasted death for every man wher ‘He tasted death for Adam; for all are under Adam's sentence of condemna ton to deutl. One man’s sin brongh! the death penalty upon all; therefore the one man’s Ransom was the Ran som for all. ‘The children of unbellev Jers wete redeemed In the most abso ‘Hute sense from tho entire condemns [ton of death, Indeed. none but sin '|ners were redeemed. “Christ died fo ‘| the ungodly."

One copy per year in advance.....$2.00 Six months ..... 1.00 Three months ..... -50 Subscription monthly ..... -20 ADAM E. PATTERSON. It used to be a question of "who struck Billy Patterson?" but since the Negro who was nominated for Register of the Treasury "begged to request" that his nomination be withdrawn, the question now is "who struck Adam Patterson?" In the outset, it should be understood that while Patterson's act is foolish to the race with which he is identified, he himself is a weak man. Any one with a modicum of brains who reads the letter to the President must come inevitably to the conclusion that Patterson is a man with a child's mind, and a child's view of things. He probably does not realize the consequences of his own conduct in the circumstances of this case. His mind seems never to have developed to the point where it comprehends such ideas as liberty, justice, humanity, self-respect, and common sense. It does not seem to have understood the platitudes and pretenses of the Democratic profession of hostility to "special interests." The Democratic party pretends to be against all "special interests." And yet it is seeking to create a new "special interest," namely, the special interest of race and color. If Patterson had a mind of average caliber he would see that he is catering to a "special interest," the meanest, most ferocious and bloodthirsty of all special interests, race prejudice. The man has all the egotism and conceit indicative of small and impoverished intellects. He says: "I feel like our Savior must have felt when he was handed the bitter cup." The shamelessness, the blasphemy of the comparison, if made by a responsible person! The Savior died performing a duty, making an atonement that the human race might have a better future. Patterson runs away from a plain duty for fear of the ill will and opposition of such Negrophobes as Hoke Smith, Ben Tillman and Jim Vardaman, and yet he says, while yet on the run, "I feel like the Savior," and concludes by saying that he had striven for appointment as Register of the Treasury all his life. Think of a premeditated office seeker comparing his feelings to those of the lowly Nazarene! Is better evidence needed of the baby mind? The most ridiculous thing in the letter is the following: "I am anxious that the spirit of harmony and good will exist between the two races, and by taking this step I believe it will go far toward bringing about a more friendly feeling." He does not tell why he believes this. He probably thinks that by taking this action he will become the recipient of the cast-off clothing of Vardanan and "nigger haters" of that stamp, and that at their back gates he will be fed with the scraps from their tables. And, perhaps, he may be. But a "friendly racial feeling" purchased at such a price means bloody slavery for the race. He poses as the representative of the colored race. In the name of God, whoever made him the leader of the colored people? Mr. Wilson handed him a lemon but the Senate would not squeeze it. What benefit to the race will his withdrawal be? Senator Gore or Mr. Patterson' remarked that he canvassed Oklahoma for the Democratic party. What effect did it have, when almost every colored man in the State was disfranchised? Mr. Patterson has the curses of a race which never recognized him and the rebuke of SIMPLE FAITH OF THE SIMPLE In one of the governmental deputy in an attempt to "feel" out a Negro to segregate the latter's race in the were employed, approached an age what would you say if your people Old Joe answered: "I just wouldn't say nothing, know God looks after a lot of this folks brought us over here in slave and then God, getting tired of it, the thousands of white men were slain Senator Tillman went up and down and when God got tired hearing him he couldn't talk plain. And God's on Vardaman, Hoke Smith and the reckon." When old Aunt Clara Jackson, South Washington, who is passed decade, had read to her the attack land and Hoke Smith recently, she When she arose she said: "And de good Lawd done sed: Now jest show you born de Lawn's storm dat 'ill kill and destroy. Do in mighty places 'ill fall wrythin' in say, 'he what do it to de least ob me done say 'de first shall be las' and poor culled got to do is jest leave fight our battles for us. He gwine Jest leave it to Him." Old Joe's simple faith is predic in blood, and a past that is still millions. There was a confusion of tower of Babylon—God willed it—tongues when some have persisted race sentiment designed to array Aunt Clara's prophecy was answer in its majesty last Wednesday and had erected, and sent Death, with his living, sparing, however, the Negro Clara's prophecy will come true proaches when all over the land "God hath risen." "And the mighty shall fall in his Vardaman, Newland, Hoke Smith God who created both the white man of His maker," knowing that He would. Sometimes the simple faith of Some times the prayers of the right In one of the governmental departments here a white employee, in an attempt to "feel" out a Negro employee on the proposition to segregate the latter's race in the particular office in which they were employed, approached an aged Negro employee with: "Joe, what would you say if your people were segregated in this office?" Old Joe answered: "I just wouldn't say nothing. I'd just leave it to God. You know God looks after a lot of things for my people. The white folks brought us over here in slavery, just treated us shamefully, and then God, getting tired of it, brought on a war, hundreds and thousands of white men were slain and the Negro was "sot" free. Senator Tillman went up and down the country abusing my people, and when God got tired hearing him abuse us he paralyzed him so he couldn't talk plain. And God's got vengeance He'll wreak out on Vardaman, Hoke Smith and the rest 'fore this year is out, I reckon." When old Aunt Clara Jackson, a simple old Negro woman in South Washington, who is passed the four score and ten by a decade, had read to her the attacks of Senators Vardaman, Newland and Hoke Smith recently, she fell to her knees in silent prayer. When she arose she said: "And de good Lawd done sed: 'vengunce is mine, I will repay.' Now jest show you born de Lawn goin' visit dis place wid a fearful storm dat 'ill kill and destroy. Den He goin' come again an' men in mighty places 'ill fall wrythin' in agony and deaf, 'cause He done say, 'he what do it to de least ob mine do it even so to me,' and He done say 'de first shall be las' and de las' 'ill be de first.' All we poor culled got to do is jest leave it to de good Lawd. He gwine fight our battles fer us. He gwine spread deaf and destrucshun. Jest leave it to Him." Old Joe's simple faith is predicated on the past, a past written in blood, and a past that is still a horrible irrascible memory to millions. There was a confusion of tongues at the building of the tower of Babylon—God willed it—and there have been paralysis of tongues when some have persisted in their rabid utterances of anti-trace sentiment designed to array brothers against brothers. Old Aunt Clara's prophecy was answered in part when the storm arose in its majesty last Wednesday and laid low, in this city, what man had erected, and sent Death, with his sickle keen, to mow down the living, sparing, however, the Negro. The remainder of old Aunt Clara's prophecy will come true, perhaps, before the day approaches when all over the land true Christians will be singing "God hath risen." "And the mighty shall fall in high places." We leave Senators Vardaman, Newland, Hoke Smith and their allies against us to the God who created both the white man and the Negro "in the image of His maker," knowing that He will repay just as He said He would. - Sometimes the simple faith of the simple is well founded. Some times the prayers of the righteous are answered. a party that he claimed to have saved. What hope is there for colored Democracy? The most ridiculous assertion made by Patterson is that he will continue his loyalty to the Democratic party. will he request Director Ralph of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to explain to him if he did not issue an 'order segregating the races on account of color If he denies it The Bee will fun A SECOND WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON. Elsewhere in this issue of The Bee appears an editorial from the New York Evening Post in relation to the new policy of segregation in the government service. The subject is dealt with comprehensively and fearlessly. We recognize in this editorial the voice of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, the owner of the Evening Post. Mr. Villard is the grandson of the greatest of all abolitionists, William Lloyd Garrison, and his labors for the colored people in these hours of trial are worthy of the great ancestor from whom he springs. As chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Association for the Advancement, of Colored People, he is instant in season and out of season working, for "the heavily disadvantaged-race." It is fortunate for the race at this time that a man of Mr. Villard's ancestry, independent means and independent character is a welcome visitor at the White House; that having supported Mr. Wilson for the Presidency both by his journal and his personal influence and means, he does not hesitate to stand for human rights without variableness or shadow of turning. The Bee does feel at liberty now to state to its readers all that Mr. Villard has done and is doing at this juncture. In gratefully acknowledging Mr. Villard's services, we can but regret the decreasing disloyalty, vacillation and cupidity of colored men of whom we had-reason to expect better things. We do hope that in the not distant future our people here in Washington may have the opportunity of meeting Mr. Villard and giving him some evidence of their appreciation of his labors in their behalf. WHAT A LIE. The resolution of Senator Clapp has brought forth a denial from the departments that no order for the segregation of the races had been issued. The Bee wants to inform Senator Clapp that there is posted upon the doors of the toilets in the Treasury Department as follows: "For Colored Men." "For Colored Women." Register Napier received a verbal order to separate his colored employees, which he refused to do, and for such an order he resigned; tendered his resignation to the President. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing there has been a segregation of the races. Will Senator Clapp offer a resolution requesting Register J. C. Napier to appear before his committee, and partments here a white employee, Negro employee on the proposition of a particular office in which they had Negro employee with: "Joe, we were segregated in this office?" I'd just leave it to God. You fights for my people. The white cry, just treated us shamefully, brought on a war, hundreds and and the Negro was "sot" free in the country abusing my people, am abuse us he paralyzed him so got vengeance He'll wreak out the rest 'fore this year is out, I am a simple, old Negro woman in old the four score and ten by a pack of Senators Vardaman, Newfell to her knees in silent prayer.

If he denies it The Bee will furnish the proof. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The Bee wants to know why were the representatives of the Washington branch of the Negro Business League ignored in the making up of the official program? Why were men placed upon the program for the Philadelphia meeting who are not members of either the local or national body, and neither do the men who have been placed on the program stand for anything or represent anybody. Why was not President Daniel Freeman, of the local league, consulted? Mr. Daniel Freeman, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Lewis, James, Bros., and Mr. Watts stand for something in this community and are fully able to give sound advice to business men. President Freeman, the leading photographer in this country, has made the local league what it is today. The Bee speaks for the local league and the men who represent it. HIDE THEIR IDENTITY. HIDE THEIR IDENTITY. The lily-white Negro and the so-called white man with Negro blood in his veins do more to create race discrimination than any class of people. The lily-white Negro is a disgrace to the community. Always watch the man or woman who denounces a colored American on account of his color and you will be convinced that he is half "Negro" and half "nigger." Either will damn him in the estimation of a real white man. A real Southern gentleman, while he may have his prejudices, never allows the color of a person's skin to bother him. The lily-white Negro and the white man so-called make this fuss to hide their identity. THE BEE PREDICTED. That there was no hope for colored Democrats. That they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. That no president that has white people will go to a colored Democrat. That being a fact, like Othello, their occupation is gone. That the city white, colored Americans in the several departments of the government must be classed as colored. Vardaman, of Mississippi, at a meeting last Wednesday night, two-thirds of his audience women who are jealous of the good looks of our colored women, applauded to the echo. The Bee had a representative there, and from his observation our colored women would not be found dead with VARDAMAN many of those present, who don't want to be associated with our beautiful women. HARVEST TIME The Democratic hayseeds from the South haven't time to attack the colored citizens at this time. They will have their hands full to look after the blunders of the administration and the Democratic do-nothing policy of Congress. The issue in Mexico and Japan will settle the segregation policy of the administration. LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS Anderson of "Big Hungry." Thomas Anderson, as anyone will readily agree who inspects his picture, would not stand much chance in a beauty contest, but when it comes to contesting for prizes on cotton and corn he is a sure winner and always carries off the blue ribbon. Some fifteen years ago Anderson attended the Bible School Department of Tuskegee Institute. One of the requirements of all the students in the Bible School is that they must work on the farm and thus acquire some knowledge of scientific agriculture. Anderson did not impress his teachers as being likely to startle the world with his preaching and his career after graduating proved that their impressions were correct. After graduating from the Bible School and trying his hand at preaching for a while, he decided that the "P. C" call for him meant "Plow Corn," and this he proceeded to do. About five miles from Tuskegee Institute the land was so poor that it was only with difficulty, that a fuss could be raised upon it. The people who, lived there hardly ever raised enough to eat and so the district came to be known as "Big Hungry." Some twelve years ago a number of Northern philanthropists decided to buy a tract of land and sell it off in small lots to Negroes. The land in "Big Hungry" was, of course, for sale, dirt cheap. Four thousand acres were purchased and offered in small lots to colored farmers. Every one said that the project would fail because only the farmers who had nothing could be induced to settle on the sandy hills. One of the farmers to locate here was Thomas Anderson. In his own words he had "nothing but a hard time, a good wife, and a two year old boy." His credit, however, was good, and he bought forty acres of land on time. Within five years, by constant, patient toil and close economy, he paid for the forty acres of land, three good mules, three cows and $300 worth of farm implements. In one year with one mule, he raised more than $600 worth of farm produce. In 1911 the State of Alabama offered prizes in every county in the State to any farmer, white or black, who would raise the largest amount of corn on one acre of land. Anderson, although living on what was considered some of the poorest land in his county, decided that he would enter the contest. By raising 65 bushels of corn on one acre, he won the State's prize of $25. He also won a number of prizes at the County Fair. Altogether his cotton and corn that year brought him $55 in prize money. In other years he has been equally successful. In fact, he has never lost a prize for which he has entered into competition. What Anderson has done on some of the poorest land in Macon County, Alabama, can be duplicated in every section of the South if the Negro farmers will use the improved methods of farming such as are taught by the Department of Agriculture of the Tuskegee Institute. Assessor's Office. Johnson, of Kentucky, who instigated the investigation of the District Assessor's Office, is not dealing with chickens. Kentucky Johnson found Mr. Kalbfus is a hard nut to crack. The investigators thought they would find a rotten administration, but they have found a clean and honest administration. This Democratic Congress ought to investigate itself. That Patterson, of Oklahoma, will resume his $25,000 yearly law practice and cultivate his fig ranch. That Negro haters and those who advocate segregation must be tainted with colored blood. That a pure white man or woman never worries about his or her color. Young Thomas Appointed. Marshall Leroy Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Thomas, and one of the first graduates of the Cardozo Vocational School, after having stood the highest in a recent Civil Service examination, was appointed a patternmakers' apprentice in the Washington Navy Yard August 31, 1913. The skill, patience and determination of this young man when a student in the Armstrong Manual Training School was watched with the keenest interest both by Dr. W. B. Evans, principal, and Mr. Maddela, his wood-turning instructor, and when he was transferred to the Vocational School of which Prof. Newman is principal he predicted a great future for him. Complimenting Tyler. The Atlanta Independent had the following to say in its last week's issue concerning Ralph W. Tyler: "There came suddenly into our midst a stranger, who impressed every one with the fact that he was a scholar, a business man and a gentleman. After hearing him talk we were all convinced that his mission was indeed a great one. He proved beyond a doubt that he was seeking information on the one hand and striving to help his brother in black on the other. What information he received came first hand and not what he heard others say. We, therefore, take great pride in referring you to what he said in another column. Public Men Ard Things Public Men Ard Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Dear Chase: I am still lingering here at this stricly Negro summer resort. I'm lingering here because its the cheapest resort in America for the money. But there ain't no cheap people here. All swell people in assorted documents. Doc. Sumner Wormley will confirm this. I gained eight pounds in the two weeks I've been here at a cost of only ten dollars. My friends who I have made here have helped to defray a part of my expenses. They like me because they say I'm so entertaining. Pretty near run out of Judge Terrell's stock of jokes, and have started in on Dancy's and Bob Harlan's. Dr. Wormley told a bunch of stories while here, so that limited my supply. I've got an old uncle down on a farm back of Culpepper who wants me to visit him for a week and will' go on his invitation Saturday. It won't cost me a blooming penny while I'm with him. But on, these partridges here at Buckroe! Say, some of them are as pretty as a speckled robin. Run in to Richmond one day and talked with Giles Jackson. Say, he is certainly one original character. Giles had been watching the newspapers every day to see if Patterson was confirmed. He felt sure that if Patterson failed he would be the next best bet. When he read that there letter Patterson wrote the President, and heard that a full-blood reed man had been named instead, Giles didn't do a thing but blow himself for two highballs and a couple of "bondes in 1880" elixers. When Giles go through reading that imbecil letter he remarked, megaphone-like, "Say, that nigger ought to be road out of the country on a rail. He ain't no bloomin' idiot, he's just a plain common nigger. His letter shows he wasn't competent to fill the position. He's done sewed up our chances of getting anything." I agreed with Giles, and all these Virginia anthracites who have heard of Pat's letter are sitting up of nights coining new cuss words to hurl at his empty billiard ball. Well, now wan't he the limit? * * I dropped in John Mitchell's bank last week, while over in Richmond. Let me whisper to you, it's a real bank, and John is a real banker. The bank-editor was out when I was in, and I failed to meet him. I just would like to meet that fellow and shake my hand. I deposited a little draft of wind while I was in the bank, and drew my breath, further than that that I no business with Mitchell's money factory. I find Negro law offices down here are about on a par with most of them. Now speaking about law offices, Walter Pinchback and Benn Gaskins have the best looking law offices in Washington. "They look like real law offices. And Walter has gone and bought him a buz wagon just as Armond Scott did. I don't know whether Walter is making legal fees at the rate of $5,000 a year or $100 a year. But I am promising you that this fitting up a swell law office and getting a buz wagon besides will get him something some time. I've discovered that the son of Ham sure does like to look on prosperity. That's why Tom Jones and Armond Scott are just piling up fees so high they have to hire somebody to tell them how to spend. Tom Jones is always riding around in a victoria. If he has to go from his office to the Police Court, just one block away, he rides in a carriage. Armond Scott never goes across the street from his office to get a grape juice—one, of those copainted grape juices, without jumping into his buz wagon to ride across. Now the people like that show. It looks good to them. They reason that a fellow what can own a buz wagon, or can ride around in a victoria, knows some law. Walter Pinchback knows the dope when he sees it. He is, old Governor's pampered son, chip off the old block, like his dad, believes in making a front. You know, old Bob Ingersoll once said it paid to spend your last dollar for appearance. That's sound advice. Any time you see a guy putting on a front, even if he's just stalling, just bet a red lemonade against an egg flip that that guy will get by. If we had more lawyers with buz wagons and carriages, and right-up-to-the-minute offices there wouldn't be so many of them getting their names in the court records as defendants. Just look like prosperity, even if you ain't, and pretty soon the Prosperity will get its bead on you and coddle up to you, and just be your fast pardner. I'm going to just hint to our physicians that they too might make money by employing a paperhanger, a painter and a cleaner around some of their offices for a day or two, and phoning down to some furniture house to send out a rug that looks like a rug, some desk that. Sloan could sell if you went out of business, and some chairs that don't bear any resemblance to the furniture Noah had in his ark. I once heard of a fellow visiting a doctor's office for treatment for rheumatism, and the Doctor recommended a turkish bath. Thereupon the fellow looked around the office, counted the cobwebs, measured up, in his eye, how many tons of dirt there were under tables and stands figured the cost of the junk in the office and remarked: "Say Doc, if you don't give your office a turkish bath it will have seatic rheumatism for life." ** But coming back to law offices, I believe our Ham-skin legal sprouts are getting a move on themselves. Shelby Davidson's office does pretty good for a beginner. It is neat and looks like an office of some kind. Bill Houston's got a fair office, and keeps it just as neat as he keeps himself. Armond Scott's, in an old building that use to be the annex to Noah's ark, but Armond has spread a lot of paint on the woodwork and screened the old dilapidated walls with some fancy paper, and it looks respectable. But for the other offices, well, most of them need manicuring. If I was practicing law I'd have me a carriage or a buz wagon, even if I had to have one that made as much noise as that first edition Armond Scott had a year ago. By-the-way, they tell me that they are using Armond's old auto to follow up the circus steam calilope in a contest for noise record. At last accounts Armond's old machine had it on the calilope. If you hear of any more Negro Democrats blowing into Washington notify the superintendent of St. Elizabeth at once. I got a straight tip that Woody wants them confined there. Only crazy Hams can be Democrats now. Say Senator Clapp did a nice thing introducing that resolution to call the hands of the Postmaster General in this segregation move. I regret, though, that the Senator inserted "by request" before it. Sort of looks like he ain't awfully strong for the resolution. I guess the late, lamented editor of the defunct Washington American favors segregation. Just thought, they tell me Randolph and Taylor ain't Simese twins no more. A fellow who claims to know, says Taylor ain't much on the Mississippi derelict, and the Mississippiian ain't buying the Alabama kid no Wrigley's chewing gum these days. They use to eat and sleep together, but now they never speak as they pass by. R. Wordy just spread it on Patterson when he was here. Wonder what the subsidized press agent is saying now? Poor R. Wordy, he's just got routed wrong, and can't get routed right again. He reminds me of the guy who took the character of Pompy Smash in "The Aristocrat," and thought he was the real thing even after the lights had been shut off. R. Wordy has been handed a lot of gold bricks in his time, but the trouble is he has tried to sell them to somebody else. I'm advising him he'd better bill himself through on a trunk line, 'cause fiddling around with has-beens, once-wassers and would-bees ain't going to get nobody nothing. And the guilinot has commenced to work in the Treasury Department. I'd hate to see the superfluous litter of words decapitated. Wonder if he savvies?

NAPOLEON was styled, a man of destiny, and surely many things connected with his experiences look as though the Lord had something to do with him. This does not signify that he was a servant of God—far from it! But it signifies that Divine Wisdom can always overrule the wrath of man, to serve Him, and the remainder re serve him, and strain, thus causing all things to work out the Divine purpose. With the eye of faith Bible Students can see many ways in which Napoleon's campaigns worked changes which undoubtedly had to do with the world's progress "I will not let Israel Go." The Pharaoh of the Exodus was also a man of destiny. We have the Divine assurance of that fact: "For this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in thee My Power; and that My name might be declared throughout the earth." (Exodus 9:16.) St. Paul declares that God hardened this Pharaoh's heart that he should not let the people go. (Romans 9:18.) God's people have seriously misunderstood these words when in the past they interpreted them to mean that God had created Pharaoh a wicked, hard-hearted man, and that subsequently He still further hardened his heart. Bible Students now realize that the Apostle meant to tell that from amongst the Egyptian princes God raised up to the throne a stubborn ruler, upon whose heart the mercies of God, in lifting one plague after another, would have only a hardening effect. Thus God illustrated the principle that His greatest blessing to man kind—a free will—may be perverted by Satan to work man's greatest injury. Viewing the Other Side. Not all men of destiny are in opposition to God, however. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and others, as well as Jesus and His Apostles and followers, have been men of destiny Upon these His mercies, tenderness and gracious promises have a softening effect, developing in them the graces of the Holy Spirit—"meekness, gentleness, patience, brotherly-kindness love." The destiny of these men is only partly worked out in the present life. They are permitted to pay a goodly price for the maintenance of their fellowship with God and their inheritance of His promises. This costs them the friendship of the world, and the loss of many things highly esteemed amongst men; but it brings them the "peace of God which passeth understanding." This is merely a foretaste of the riches of Divine grace in store for them—in Messiah's Kingdom. Eventually, the destinies of these faithful before the Cross and those faithful since the Cross will be united in that Kingdom, as St. Paul declares The Ancient Worthies cannot be made perfect until the Church, of still higher destiny, shall have reached her glory. Hebrews 11:38-40. "I Know Not the Lord." In due time Moses and Aaron presented themselves before Pharaoh, and delivered the Divine message. Derisively Pharaoh declared, "I know not Jehovah, neither will I let Israel go." It was a time of testing of faith, not only to Moses and Aaron, but also to all Israel. Pharaoh with great hardness of heart sent forth the edict that the tasks of the Israelites be increased The Israelites were doing forced work, making brick for public buildings. Apparently the bricks were made of unburnt clay, with straw for a blender. By the new rule, the Israelites must produce the same number of bricks per day, but must additionally scour the fields for stubble to serve as blinders. Thus their tasks were practically doubled; and if not performed, they were beaten. Can we wonder that the Israelites, of less faith, murmured against Moses and Aaron and blamed them for the increase of their tasks! Nevertheless, by these very bitter experiences the people were the more prepared to welcome the liberty subsequently offered them in God's providence. EASTERN MUSEUM Confirmations of this account were discovered by M Naville, in 1884 He found the city Pharaoh of the Op- pression. In 1884 He found the city of Pithom, which the Israelites built. In the British Museum in London and also in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, there are on exhibition some of those very bricks. In size they are about four inches to eight inches square and about two inches'thick, un- baked but very hard. Another traveler, describing the walls of Pithom, says: "The lower courses of these walls are of well-made brick, with chopped straw in them. But higher up, the courses are not so good. The straw is coarse and scanty, and the last courses have no straw but have sedges, rushes and water plants, which had been mingled with the mud in their making." Whoever discern God's dealings with typical Israel should be able to appreciate Divine providence in his life as a Christian. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON FIGHTING AGAINST GOD. Psalm 105:23-36; Exodus 7:11—Aug. 3. "Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; whosoever shall humble Himself shall be exalted."—Matthew 23:22. R. V. ON various pretexts the Egyptians justified their treatment of the Hebrews. Hence they were ready to hold their slaves at any cost. Injustice—inequity—iniquity—got such a hold upon them that the plagues necessary for Israel's deliverance were doubtless a full compensation of justice, equivalent to the injustice practised by the Egyptians. From one viewpoint the plagues were miraculous; not so from another. We are apt to style everything beyond our own experiences as miraculous, and everything within our range as natural. From God's standpoint, nothing is miraculous. As we become familiar with the laws of nature, and discern how the Almighty accomplishes what once we thought, miraculous, our knowledge should not lessen our respect for the wonder or for Him. A Evidently the plagues of Egypt were part of a contest, between the gods of Egypt and the God of Israel. The Pharaohs claimed to "Who is the God of the Hebrew?" Israel. The Phara- "Who is the God of the Hebrews?" rabohs claimed to be representatives of the sun god, while the Hebrews worshiped the great unseen Jehovah. When Moses told Pharnoh that the God of the Hebrews sent him word that they were to leave Egypt to worship Him, Pharnoh derisively inquired, "Who is the God of the Hebrews?" Moses was instructed to give certain signs of his authority as God's representative. One of these was to cast his staff upon the ground, and it would become a serpent. Pharaoh's magicians did likewise. Some have surmised that they performed a trick said to be common in India—hypnotizing a serpent and making it appear like a staff. Then released from the hypnosis, it would manifest itself as a serpent. We are not sure, however; for other duplications of Moses' work cannot be accounted for on the basis of deception. According to Scripture, there are but two sources of occult power—Divine and satanic. Unquestionably for centuries God has permitted Satan and the fallen angels, called demons, to exercise great power. In no other way can psychic phenomena be accounted for. Spirit mediums are not knowingly the servants of the evil spirits that personate the dead. Rather, they are thoroughly deceived by the Adversary. Waters Turned Into Blood. It is supposed that the plagues began in June and ended the following March. The first, the turning of the waters into blood, was almost as miraculous as our Lord's turning water into wine. Undoubtedly the process by which God exercised His Power is simple, if only we knew how. More and more our chemists are learning nature's secrets. Travelers declare that in early spring the Nile is as red as blood, by reason of micro-organisms in the water. If this were God's method of turning the waters into blood, the miracle would consist in Moses' ability to effect the change suddenly, and to abate it. The second plague was that of frogs. Pharaoh's magicians duplicated the first two plagues, but could not take the frogs away. Pharaoh was obliged to appeal to Moses for relief; but when respite came, he continued in his unjust course. The third plague was that of lice. Dr. Merrins says: "The word lice probably means dust ticks, so common in Egypt. At certain seasons, it seems as if the very dust were turned into lice. The decaying heaps of frogs would inevitably be the breeding place of innumerable insects." The plague of files was of various kinds—gnats, mosquitoes, house and cattle files. The poor Egyptians suffered a just retribution for their injustice to Israel. Pharaoh relented; but when Göd's mercy removed the plague, he again refused to let Israel go. A The cattle plague,followed a disease much resembling the Russian epizootic, which some years ago spread death among cattle everywhere. Moves gave signs. death among cattle everywhere. Then came the plague of ulcers. Imagine the nation, from Pharaoh to his humblest servant, afflicted with distressing carbuncles! The seventh plague was a cyclone, hall and flaming fire, which destroyed the crops. The eighth was one of locusta, probably like the plague of grasshoppers, which some years ago devastated Kansas and Nebraska. The ninth plague was one of darkness, probably resembling the London fogs, which bring business to a standstill. This darkness may have been produced by dust in the air, or in a thousand other ways which the Almighty might choose. Deeply impressed, Pharaoh offered to let Israel go, providing that they left their flocks and herds in Egypt. When this proposal was refused, he commanded Moses to appear no more before him, upon penalty of death. Moses calmly replied: "I will see thy face so more."

Address STATE SUMMER SCHOOL, AGED MARE KNOWS DENVER MAIL ROUTE Needs No One to Guide Her on Trip About City. Agricultural & Mechanical College, Greensboro, N. C. 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 mall box in that area, but a horse, aged fifteen, yclept Beam, knows the hundreds of mall 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 mail collector. She has grown aged in the service of Uncle Sam's mall department. In the twelve years of her service as assistant mail collector for the aforementioned route she has missed only seven days, none of these 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 at 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.

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. Nine-year-old Hen Earned $56.70. Mine-year-old Hen Earned $56.70 Republic, Ark—Mrs. B. M. Lervold of Republic has lost a remarkable mine-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 216 chicks, which at an average of 20 cents each, increased her earnings $43.20, or a total of $56.70. Turkish dignitaries comport themselves toward European representatives how otherwise than some of them formerly did. Sir Henry Layard tells an amusing encounter between Charles Alison, 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 sent and said his prayers on a carpet spread by an attendant, concluding with the curse on all Christians very emphatically uttered, and going through the motion of spitting over his right and left shoulders in abhorrence. Alison 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 scandalised Paaha 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.

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA REVIVED BABY WITH LIPS. Child Doomed, but Mother Fought Off Death For Ten Days. Los Angeles, Cal.-Determined that her baby boy should live, though three physicians declared he could not, Mrs. J. H. Spaulding of Oklahoma City kept the spark of life aglow for ten days by artificial respiration produced by her own lips. It is the most remarkable case of artificial respiration on record. Everet Spaulding was born six weeks ago, but soon after birth was seized with an affection of the heart. Three "mans declared the child could re forty-eight hours.

Thisess continued for several minutes revived the baby. When the train reached Tucson, Arlz., the child again had died apparently. The conductor gently told the parents that the body had to be taken to the baggage car. The mother brought it back to life. Upon arrival at Los Angeles the baby appeared stronger, but four days later it grew worse, and four hours after being taken to the hospital the child was dead. EXPERTS ON INTOXICATION. Suspected Drunks of Washington to Be Examined by Physician. Washington—Hereafter under the new excise law put in force in the District of Columbia any person suspected of being intoxicated will be taken to a hospital for examination by a physician. Orders to this effect were issued to the police. The examining physician will be called upon to act as an expert witness in police court whenever the contrial prisoner protests his innocence. Prisoners who are obviously drunk will not be subjected to the medical examination, but will be hustled to the police station. The intention is to have the physicians look over only those individuals found tottering along in a dignified alcoholic haze and who protest that they are not intoxicated.

Charging Animal, Twice Shot, Dies on Prostrate Hunter. Pescadero, Cal.—Two gun shots failed to stop the onward course of a buck, and the huntsman, Walter T. Thompson, was injured when he was thrown to the ground and plonked under the carcass of the deer. Thompson was standing near the top of a ridge awaiting the approach of the deer. A buck weighing 100 pounds bounded over the ridge, chased by the dogs, and Thompson fired at fifty yards. The buck did not stop, and at ten yards the hunter fired again. Before he could stop aside the buck had rushed into him. Otto Parker pulled the carcass off his companion's body. SPURNS $10,000 FOR GIRL. Farmer's Son Refuses to Collect Prize For Giving Her Up. Sloux Falls, Ia.—An offer of $10,000 if he would give up the girl he loved and enlist in the United States navy apparently has been refused by Charles Jason, son of a wealthy rancher near Nloborn, Neb. The older Jason' left a check for $10, 000 at the recruiting station here to be turned over to his son the moment he enlisted. The son said he would think it over, but he has failed to return. He is believed to have gone to St. Paul, where his sweetheart lives. Somerset, Pa.—Mrs. Mattie Crise, who became 100 years old recently, has always lived in the same place, and in her 100 years never saw a railroad train, street car or a telephone.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Before turning over the state penitentiary to J. D. Botkin, his successor, Warden W. W. Coddin made a last appeal to Governor Hodges recommending that David Truax, the oldest prisoner at the institution, be pardoned. Truax is eighty-two years old and is called "Daddy" by the other prisoners. Truax shot and killed John Lee, a comrade, and wounded William Lutz, members of the Soldiers' home at Dodge City, in 1905 for having taken a bottle of liquor out of his pocket. He was convicted and sentenced to serve twelve years. He has now served eight years. Truax receives a pension of $20 a month, which he sends to his crippled wife. WOMAN A HOUSE WRECKER. Works Beside Husband—Says Strength Is the Test of Equality. Merrimac, Mass.—Mrs. Willard W. Chase, mother of five children, is now a full fledged housewrecker, having been taken into partnership by her husband. She goes out to work with her husband every day and performs the labor of tearing down houses with the vigor of an average man. "It's a grand thing for these women to be interested in educational things and take up civic problems," said Mrs. Chase. "But if women really want to get anywhere it's high time they begin to show that they are capable of doing the same sort of physical work that the men do." WEDDING CAUSE OF FAMILY ROW Son of General Grant Was Secretly Married. BRIDE'S THIRD HUSBAND. May Disinherit Sons and Daughters Because They Refuse to Attend Wedding Dinner—Only One Child There. Start Immediately on Bridal -Trip Around the World. San Diego, Cal.-U. S. Grant, Jr., son of the famous general, and Mrs. America Will, who claims descent from the hidalgos who discovered and settled California, have been married. The ceremony took, place at the home of Justice Puterbaugh, a police court judge and an old friend of Mr. Grant, without premeditation on the part of either Mr. or Mrs. Grant. The announcement of the wedding was made at a dinner. The dinner was a disappointment in a way. Many old friends of Mr. Grant refused to attend, and the only child of the aged bridegroom present was U. S. Grant 4th, a junior at Harvard. Friends and relatives of Mr. Grant have been bitter in their opposition to this his second marriage, and have pleaded with him not to wed again. His grown son, Chaffee Grant, and his three daughters refused to recognize their mother-in-law. As a consequence, it is asserted that Mr. Grant has decided to cut off his children in his will unless they change their minds and show some recognition of the second Mrs. Grant. The children, on the other hand, declare that they will stand firm in their attitude toward Mrs. Will. It is reported that Chaffee Grant has engaged an attorney and purposes to take the matter into court. The couple sailed immediately for Sydney, Australia, and from there go to Cape Town, thence into the interior of Africa. From the Cape country they sail for Buenos Aires. The latter part of the trip has not been definitely decided. They will return to San Diego, however, in time for the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915. This will make a bridal tour of a year and a half. Mr. Grant stated that there was to be no effort to follow the line of travel of his father, General Grant, in his famous tour of the world TROUT EATS FROM HAND. Sunbeam, Pet of the Hatchery, Is Fond of Being Stroked. Estes Park, Colo. "Sunbeam," the pet speckled trout in the fish hatchery at Estes Park, has just recovered from an indisposition caused by stomach trouble or rheumatism and is again able to take his place as the only pet trout in captivity. The fish, now a three-year-old and about eleven inches long, is as good an example of gentle and loving trouthood as it is possible to find. Fed from the hand from the time he was hatched, he feels insulted now unless his food is given to him in that way. He is very good of being stroked and petted and will swim around and rub himself against a person's hand whenever a chance is given him. HEN IS NURSING SORROW. Bhe's Pheasants' Foster Mother, Not Knowing What They'll Do. Knowing what they do. Pitman, N. J.-A brood of English pheasant fledglings is thriving in the barnyard of Harry Landers, between this place and Richwood, with a hen for their foster mother. She had been on the eggs only a day when the strange looking chicks popped out. That broke all her hatching records. Landers found the nest of eggs in his graindelf a few days ago. He was startled by a flutter of wings as the whirring knives of his machine passed over the hidden nest. The frightened mother pheasant flew to the sover of a wood. She did not return, and Landers determined a more commonplace bird should take her place. HELD FOR ASSULT ON YOUNG SISTER Mrs. Mary Jane Tatum Said to Have Kicked and Beat Her. ACCUSED WOMAN WEALTHY. Because Independent Girl Refused to Marry Rich New Yorker She Alleged She Was Attacked and. Beaten—Admitted Writing Letters, Later Branding Them False. Andes, N. X—Mrs. Mary Jane Tatum, wife of John C. Tatum, a wealthy cotton broker living at Great Neck, N. Y., was held for the Delaware county grand jury on the charge that she assaulted her twenty-three-year-old sister, Miss Kathryn MacArthur here because Miss MacArthur would not marry Frederick W. Peters, son of a wealthy New York manufacturer. The ball demanded, $2,000, was immediately furnished, and the case will 6 MRS. JOHN C. TATUM. be heard at the October meeting of the jury. The charge is second degree assault, punishable by five years in prison or a fine of $1,000 or both. Mrs. Tatum wanted her sister to marry her wealthy friend, Mr. Peters, but the independent young woman was just as resolute in her determination not to marry him, and persuasion on the part of Mrs. Tatum and her husband was of no avail. It is alleged by the prosecution that when Miss MacArthur was a guest in her sister's home and after she had made known her intentions of refusing to marry Peters during a scene in the bedroom of the married sister that Mrs. Tatum pummelled, kicked and otherwise abused her younger sister, finally ordering her from her home. She left immediately and went to the home of friends. When the preliminary hearing was held here Miss MacArthur came to court. She was accompanied by her father, his second wife and their counsel. It was shown at the hearing that Miss MacArthur had written a letter to the father of young Peters signifying her intention of announcing her engagement shortly. She testified at the trial that she dictated that letter to her brother-in-law, Mr. Tatum, and that the statements it contained were false. During the hearing it was shown that the young woman was a great admirer of Dr. Frederick W. Mason of Great Neck, a married man with several children. At the close of the hearing Mrs. Tatum arose in anger at Justice of the Peace Charles Johnson's decision against her and exclaimed, "If this case goes beyond the grand jury we'll show up what's at the back of it, and then you'll get the whole truth." Her husband drew her away before she could say anything further. In her testimony Miss MacArthur was about to make some declaration as to Tatum and his wife having a "terrible fight" about "one of her admirers in New York," and as she was going to mention his name Mrs. Tatum's lawyer stopped her. WEATHER FORECAST FOR YEAR This Will Be Possible if Recent Discoveries Are Verified. Chicago. - Discoveries which have made it possible to forecast weather conditions accurately for an entire season have been made by Professor Frost of the Yerkes observatory. Such a system, experts say, would be worth an incalculable sum to the agricultural interests, as droughts and wet seasons could be prepared far in advance of their coming. Professor Frost's discoveries have to do with the radiation of heat from the sun. In making public the results of his investigation he says he has found the radiation to be variable. This, with other discoveries Professor Frost has made, may bring about an entirely new system of forecasting weather conditions and thus robbing heat and cold, drought and flood, of their terrors. & BROS. ter LONG WEARING with permits the carriage to so instantaneously that no all bearing type bars, a car- rives, a capital shift key requir- e, a combined one-motion h spaces one, two or three e lightest possible carriage that makes all day speed mary printing point, back space keys, and makes the hands from with accuracy in the L.

Stricken When Sixteen, Woman Re- gains Sight—Sexe Her Children Hillsdale, Mich.-One of the humblest homes here was made the happiest in the whole country when Mrs. Mary J. Welsh, who has been blind for fifty years, recovered her sight. When she was a girl of sixteen her eyes failed until she became entirely blind. In that condition she married and is the mother of eight children whom she never saw until the other day. To make her burden doubly hard her husband became ill and she was forced to take in washing to support the family. Several operations were tried and were unsuccessful. The sons, now grown up, took the mother to Chicago, where she was taken to a hospital for treatment. Surgeons examined her and found she was suffering from a double cataract. Philadelphia. — Stolen money—$5,175 —from the funds of the American Express company lay in the pockets of Alexander S. Woods, East St. Louis agent for the company, as he wandered through the streets of this city at 3 o'clock in the morning fighting his conscience. It was just that hour when Woods stood beneath the arc light at Fifteenth and Market streets, watching Sergeant Daly and two patrolmen wrestling with a drunkard. He fumbled the greenbacks in his pockets, crossed the street and accosted the sergeant as the patrol wagon clanged at the curb. "Sergeant, would you mind sending me along with him?" Woods asked, indicating the staggering man. "Why?" "Because I'm a thief." "How's that?" "I'm wanted by the American Express company in East St. Louis for stealing $5,175. I've stood it as long as I can. Here's the stuff." Woods pulled a handful of money from his pockets and handed it to Sergeant Daly. "I want you to send me back to St. Louis. I want to face the music," he explained. "I want my two little girls to know that even if I have made a big mistake I have done all I could to make it good." Sergeant Daly motioned toward the patrol wagon. "Jump in," he said. Woods obeyed, and a few minutes later he was in a cell.

Salvation Baptist Church had their usual communion service, beginning with preaching at 11 o'clock, Sunday School at 2:30, followed by song, prayer and general testimonial meeting and the administering of the Lord's Supper by the pastor, Rev. C. S. Coleman, assisted by Rev. Dr. Perkins, of Washington, D. C., who preached at 8 o'clock a well prepared awakening sermon. The church was well filled and every one's heart was stirred to greater Christian activity. Thursday, July 24, being the day set for the picnic given by the A. B. Sunday School, consisting of the several churches of this section, the Methodist Church of this place was largely represented. The crowd was immense. There was hardly standing room, although it was said that there were fifteen cars provided. On arriving at Manassas everything for the comfort of visitors was provided and resorted to. The school buildings are very attractive and should be a great stimulus to our people. A grand mass meeting was held in the afternoon and we were honored with a fine literary program. Miss Nannie Burroughs, of Washington, gave a most forceful address. Had there been nothing more, this was worth the trip. She dealt very plainly on the problems that face us as a race today. Although there was much effort in getting on the train for the return trip, this was done, and without any need for an officer. The whole affair was one of harmony. The time is at hand when we must have and accept of the men and women of our own race as our leaders and when we have well prepared and of the same family the sooner we learn to support and accept them, the better. Callway Chapel M. E. Church Sunday School was as usual. The pastor, Rev. C. E. Queene, was not present at the morning service. He was called to fill an engagement at Pennellytown, D. C. The services were conducted by Bro. J. F. Williams, local preacher, who is much beloved and honored by this people. Preaching at 8:30 by the pastor. The service was very impressive. An appeal was made to the unsaved and a young man came forward for prayers. Plans are being laid for outdoor meetings here. The Woman's Industrial Association is doing a fairly good business among the business people. We have carpenters, blacksmiths, seamstresses, three grocery stores, barbers, hairdresses, stone masons, a fine ice cream parlor, and a little of everything that one might look to find in any modern village, besides a good school and hall, where nearly every fraternity is represented. Newlymade streets are being put in order and lighted by the village improvement association of High View Park. Dr. E. T. Morten is the resident doctor and surgeon and has been most successful in his treatments. We have the best water and shade anywhere to be found. We invite all persons seeking real comfort to come and see us. Our churches are open all day Sundays for worship and reception of visitors. Mr. and Mrs. John Webster and a party of friends visited their home in Bluemont Sunday and returned about 10 o'clock On Wednesday, July 30, this section was visited by a very severe storm, mostly of lightning, thunder and wind, but no serious damage was done. Many trees were uprooted and broken off, including a favorite one in Mrs. R. E. Ferguson's front yard, which bears the favorite name of Balm of Gillead. Since the storm the extreme hot weather has moderated a little, although Sunday was very hot, which seemed to serve to reduce the attendance of the regular church services. The Sunday Schools, however, are very well attended. Rev. C. S. Coleman, pastor of Mt. Salvation Baptist Church, served his congregation, who attended with much appreciation, much to the pleasure of their faithful pastor. The latest among the business operations is the opening up of a laundry route by Mr. Clarence Jones, a most progressive young man who has purchased a perfect outfit and will call for and deliver your work in first-class order. He is one of our modern productions and well known here and in the city. We ask for him your patronage. Cottage Park is being graced with his beautiful new house, soon to be completed by Mr. Frank Williams, architect and builder. Mr. Walter Hyson has returned from a ten-days trip to Atlantic City. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hyson, their son, Claudius, and Mrs. Carrie Carrington took a drive over and spent the day in Falls Church Sunday. We regret to report that, in the midst of our writing we have been informed of the sudden death of Mr. Henry Hall, at Chesterbrook, Va., who attended services at Falls Church Sunday and was at his home church at night and returned home apparently as well as usual, and when his wife called him in the morning and was unable to arouse him, Dr. Morton was summoned and pronounced him dead. Mr. Hall was the leading man of the place, a devoted husband and father, and a great Christian, the Sunday School superintendent, and a co-worker with all of the churches and societies whenever an opportunity was offered him. His place cannot easily be filled in the First Baptist Church of Chesterbrook, Rev. Shelton Miller, pastor. HARPER'S FERRY NOTES. The season is on. Harper's Ferry is at its height.

The battalion will entrain at the station at New York and Florida Avenues Northeast at 8 a. m., and will be gone for ten days. The other sections carrying National Guard troops will leave from the same point at 8:30 and 9 o'clock a. m. of the same date. This is Major Walker's second encampment, and all indications point to success. The battalion now has its full complement of officers, and it is expected that about 270 officers and men will report for camp. The many friends of the battalion usually give it a rousing send-off at the station, and on the Sunday in Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday was Communion Day at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Alexandria, Va. The pastor, Rev. O. H. Wood, is quite a forceful character in both church and society. He is one of the leaders, in the S. and D. of L. Good services were held during the day, both spiritual and financial conditions doing fine. Collection for the day was $38. In the morning Pastor Wood spoke from the subject, "You Are Either for Me or Against Me." At night, "The Power of God As Shown in the Recent Tornado." The attendance at each service was large and is always so since said pastor has had charge. The Sunday School is in a flourishing condition with Bro. Randolph Blue as superintendent. This church held a rally on the first Sunday in June and realized a grand collection all told, with after returns of $28.30. Pastor Wood is doing a great work and seems to do so wherever the Lord sends him.
