XXXIV, NO. 1 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1913 The North and South Face to Face. Southern Oligarchy Forces the Political Fighting—Changed Conditions in the South—Stone Holding While Minority Flagrants Frauds. The Present South, Etc. Camden, N. J., Sept. 2. Joseph C. Manning, in a discussion of national politics, says that the aggressions of the Southern Democracy forces the Republican party to make a hard political fight upon the Southern political machine and its methods. In a statement given out for publication, Mr. Manning declares that attack upon the Southern regime is a political requirement. Mr. Manning's statement is as follows: "An issue arises and then forges its way to the forefront of public discussion, as one of paramount importance, as the result of a requirement. It was a requirement on the part of the slave holding power in the South, prior to the civil war, that the slave holding power should seek to have the slave owning territory extended and the slave owning sway thereby enlarged, for, without this aggression upon the political influence of the opposition forces of the North, the slave holding party foreseaw the inevitable downfall of its institution and the overthrow of its political power. "The conditions led, step by step, up to the aggressions of the slave owning power, and the result was that it was a requirement that the North meet the issues as they forged to the front and compelled that they be met. The aggression of the political power in the South has again brought the North face to face with an issue that arises by requirement and the militant march of the Southern political oligarchy forces the political fighting. To the States of the South, constituting the oligarchy, there are now alligned with them a sufficient strength in the States of the North as to enable the power of the oligarchy to dominate in every branch of the general government, and the very requirement of the situation is that the opposition must direct its line of attack and center its fire upon the dominant element of the national democracy, which element is the Southern oligarchy. "To be no longer ignored or evaded, one vital and commanding issue in this country, which is, to the forefront as a requirement, is whether or not the Southern oligarchy, with its seat of strength the dozen States of the South, shall be permitted to continue the dominancy of the nation, while, in the meantime, its policy of the repression of the masses of whites and its disfranchisement of practically all Negroes in these Southern States, has evolved such an outrage upon the rights of man and such a travesty upon republican form of government that the aggregate of 1,000,000 votes polled by the oligarchy has finally come to exercise suffrage representation in the Southern States for 6,000,000 males of voting age. "It is now a political requirement that the country shall go into consideration of this condition in the South. It has not been so until now. So long as the Republican party was swept into power by the tremendous majorities polled in the States of the North and West, so long as the oligarchy was dominant only in the dozen-States of the South, while discussion in the North has passed over this Southern situation. Changed conditions, however, have brought it about as imperative—that the party opposition to the Southern oligarchy must inaugurate such a campaign against the bourbon democracy and its methods as will put the oligarchy under fire both South and North. The time has come when the intelligence of the North will be caused to have a clear knowledge of the startling extent, to which the aggressions of the oligarchy of the minority government in the Southern States has gone and where the American people will be given vivid insight into the bourbon Democratic methods in the South not only as they directly affect the masses of the people who live under them, but, furthermore, as they indirectly affect the welfare of all the people of the nation. "It must be conceded that this is a matter of national concern in consideration of the fact that the member of Congress coming up from a district in the Southern States on 5,000 votes has equal voice in the affairs of the nation with the member from a district in a State in the North whose election required 30,000 ballots. The people of the entire country must and will be divested of the false representations as to the issues coming up from the South and it will come to be understood that, instead of there being an alleged race issue in the Southern States, that the actual condition is that the Southern States are dominated not by a democracy but by an oligarchy and that this oligarchy before and since the civil war, has maintained minority government through one form or another, as the requirement demanded, of political repression. The presence of the Negro in the South is made to serve today just as effectively for the repression of the masses of the whites as did the presence of the Negro as a slave effect this result upon Southern conditions before the civil war. "That the slave holding white minority dominated every condition in the South during the regime of slavery, that less than 300,000 slave owners-ruled with an almost iron despotism, is not a bit more remarkable- than is this present condition in the dozen Southern States which now, although having an aggregate of 4,000,000 white males of, voting age, elected the entire Southern representation in the Congress in 1910 on 900,000 votes and dominated in the election of 1912 with 1,000,000 ballots. There being 2,000,000 Negro males of voting age in these States, it will be observed that the aggregate Democratic vote is not as large as is the number of Negro male citizens of voting age. Notwithstanding the acts of reression, the spirit of intolerance and the political despotism of the oligarchy, the white masses of the South have more than once, since the civil war, come into a consciousness of their situation. Within recent years, in several Southern States, they have made a political struggle to disenthral themselves from bourbon oppression. In North Carolina, in Tennessee, and in Alabama, there were remarkable uprisings by the white masses. In Alabama, in 1892, 115,000 ballots were polled against the oligarchy, which was then driven into the 16 black belt counties of the State as the only stronghold of the bourbon machine. It then required the fraudulent return of 50,000 votes from the counties where the Negro male citizens of voting age, then not disfranchised, predominated to save the continuance in power of the self-boasted party of white supremacy. It was the manipulation of the black belt returning boards that enabled the so-called democracy to maintain power in Alabama in 1894 and 1896, as well as in 1892. This condition was the case in Tennessee and in other Southern States during this period. "In the face of these flagrant frauds, the oligarchy was all the while pretending that the opposition to the fraud regime threatened white supremacy. A way was found, however, in which the hypocrisy of this situation was shown the American people. Candidates for Congress were nominated in several of the Alabama districts, as was done in many Southern States, with the object in view of making contests before Congress and developing the facts as to this condition. Every prearrangement and precaution to this end was taken. This procedure brought out, for example, that in a given district of nine counties, in which were three black belt counties, that the white counties would aggregate a large anti-Democratic vote, while, although it was shown that the Negroes did not go to the polls and vote at all, the usual black belt frauds were certified to so that the candidates of the oligarchy would secure the certificate of election. As a result of the presentation of fact as to elections in various Southern States there were forty Democrats ousted in 1896 from seats in Congress. "When confronted with this new condition the oligarchy then, as a political necessity, changed its method of political repression from that of flagrant frauds to the present system of strategy, cunning and subterfuge that has become possible through the convining and chicanery of existing disfranchisement laws. The astute leaders of the oligarchy have been wise enough to endeavor to impress the American people that these disfranchisement laws are a so-called ballot reform or a more honorable method of procedure through which the South could eliminate the Negro, but the real truth about it all is that the political upheaval in the South, together with the exposure made in Congress and the action following, forced the turning away from black belt methods to the present system of disfranchisement inglervy. "That the white masses in Alabama understand the motive of the suffrage acts of the present State constitution is shown by the fact that the white counties in most part, voted against the ratification of these acts, while the ratification was obtained by false returns from the black counties under the usual frauds system as then operated. Not only was the ballot taken from the Negro males of voting age, not only were they, without their approval or consent, put in the attitude of voting for their own disfranchisement, but more, the fraud returns predicated upon the Negro male citizens of voting age, went to override the ballots polled by the white voters and to annual the white majority aggregated against the enactment. "The motive of a general act, however, is best shown by its effect upon the people as a result of its operation. As a result of the disfranchisement acts in Alabama fully 175,000 white male citizens of voting age have dropped out of the voting. Of the 200,000 Negro males of voting age not 3,000 Negroes can vote. Although there are 300,000 white and 200,000 Negro male citizens of voting age, the oligarchy governs Alabama and elects to Congressmen on 75,000 ballots. As in Alabama, a like condition is elsewhere in the South. It is scarcely better in any Southern State and it is certainly worse in Mississippi and South Carolina. "To grasp the facts as to conditions in the South, it must be borne in mind that the present South is the progeny of the South of slavery and that slavery conditions evolved in JOSEPH C. MANNING JOSEPH C. MANNING A Strong and Fearless Advocate of the South and a Defender of the Colored American. the Southern States as marked a class condition as could develop. Dominated absolutely by the slave holding minority, without freedom of discussion, the slave holding South handed down from sire to son the spirit of the aristocracy, the disposition toward repression and the partisan intolerance of the slave holding oligarchy. "Actual conditions and real issues have been most difficult of perception because of an agitation of an imaginary Negro issue kept on continually by adept Southern leaders, having and employing this as an ingenious device for thwarting public intelligence, South and North, from those facts, the discussion of which would not inure to the well-being of a leadership fattening upon false representation and repression." ELKS OF THE WORLD Nutter Wins, But Scott Gives Him a Close Race—Nutter and Light-foot Handled the Fight for the Victor. (Special to The Bee.) Atlantic City, N. J., September 2, 1913. The fourteenth annual convention of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World closed back on Friday evening last, and in closing finished what is conceded the most successful and most largely attended session of the Grand Lodge in the history of colored Elk- LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS. The Man Who Dreamed Dreams. No.6 There are people who spend their lives in dreaming, but never accomplish anything. There are others who dream dreams and then bring to pass what they have in vision seen. To this latter class belongs Notable Benjamin Smith, of Birmingham, Ala. After learning brick masonry at Tuskegee Institute he went out and began working at his trade. Nine years ago he arrived in Birmingham, Ala, with a capital of only $4.30, but with large visions of the time when he would be in business for himself and own a lot of property. The first three weeks in Birmingham he was paid $18.00 a week. The next four weeks he received $20.00. During all this time he was asking himself, "Will my dream ever come true?" The answer that came to him was, "Yes, if you make it come true." Smith decided that the first step toward accomplishing this would be to go into business for himself. With this end in view, he became a contracting bricklayer. His venture was successful. Within a year he had saved enough money to go into the real estate business. The purchase of his first piece of property turned out to be a profitable investment. This gave him confidence in himself and enthusiasm for the real estate business. His next venture and his next were successful. He branched out into other lines of business, began to lend money and became manager of an industrial insurance company. Smith is at present one of the leading young colored business men of Birmingham. The rents from his property amount about $275 a month. His annual income from all sources is over $5,000. One of the most valuable pieces of property that he owns is the Smith Building, a $20,000 two-story office building. He has not only accumulated property for himself, but he has also rendered valuable service to the colored people of Birmingham by negotiating loans for those who wished to buy or build. Because of his business ability a great deal of money is placed in his hands for this purpose. In one year the total amount loaned by him was $50,000. There are many Negroes in that city owning comfortable homes, the purchase of which was begun through his advice and with his assistance. It appears that Smith's dream is rapidly coming 'true. For with a monthly income of $400 and increasing business profits, he is a long way removed from the man who nine years ago started out with a capital of $4.30. It is possible for any young man who learns brick-masonry or some other trade, as taught by the Tuskegee Institute, to use this trade as Smith has done as a basis for accumulating property and becoming a valuable citizen in the community where he may locate. ELKS OF THE WORLD Nutter Wins, But Scott Gives Him a Close Race—Nutter and Lightfoot Handled the Fight for the Victor. September 2, 1913. The fourteenth annual convention of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World closed as on Friday evening last, and in closing finished what is conceded the most successful and most largely attended session of the Grand Lodge in the history of colored Elkdom. From the evening of the formal opening, on Monday last, when the Hon. William Riddle, Mayor of Atlantic City, made the address of welcome on behalf of the city, and Senator Walter M. Edge bade the colored Elks of the World a hearty welcome on behalf of the State of New Jersey, the many delegations, marching clubs and hosts of visitors who came here especially for the occasion were surrounded with that hospitality, freedom, liberality and entertainment which have made Atlantic City famous the entire world over as the greatest convention city in America. When the Negro Elks of the World arrived in the city for the sessions of their fourteenth annual Grand Lodge they found the city in holiday attire. Every one and every place breathed the carnival air. Atlantic City, the three hundred Negro Elks and the thousands of citizens were anxious to do every thing possible to make the past convention, as was predicted, the most largely attended and the most successful in the history of the order—and they did. The Gand Lodge officers, the visiting delegates and the host of visitors were loud in their praise of the reception tendered them here and the work of Light House Lodge of this city, and the different committees who prepared for their entertainment. Mayor Riddle Praises Order. Mayor William Riddle, when seen by a representative of this paper, took the occasion to say how pleased he was to have been invited to address the Grand Lodge and stated it was one of the most orderly as well one of the most representative organizations it has been his pleasure to address. And not only from the Mayor, but many other prominent citizens spoke of the fine showing the Elks made in this city and declared the whole convention was educational. Many prominent white citizens contributed to the fund for the entertainment of the Elks and the daily papers gave the happenings of the convention prominence in every issue during the convention. Long-front page articles were printed and in many cases cuts of scenes about the convention and of the parade and ball were printed. Nutter Elected Grand Exalted Ruler. The most important session of the convention was held on Friday, the day of election of officers for the ensuing year. It was a busy session: everyone was keyed to the highest pitch. And whereas there had been rumors of many candidates for the highest office, when the time came all had been eliminated but two—T. Gillis Nutter, of Charleston, W. Va., and Armond W. Scott, of Washington, D. C., both able lawyers and both with a large following. Mr. Nutter, who for the past five years has been elected Grand Esteemed leading Knight by acclamation, was nominated by Past Grand Exalted Ruler J. Frank Wheaton and the nomination was seconded by Hon. Stewart Hoyt, of Boston, who withdrew his candidacy at the same time and requested his delegates to vote for Nutter, Mr. Scott, the Grand Legal Advisor of the order also had able men with him in his fight, but Nutter won out on a very close margin; the vote being 85 to 90. Mr. Nutter's fight was conducted by his brother, Lawyer Isaac H. Nutter, James A. Lightfoot, attorney, and Dr. Jones, of Virginia. Mr. Scott immediately moved that the election be made unanimous. The Grand Secretary, George B. Bates, of Newark, N. J., was re-elected by acclamation. It was a foregone conclusion early in the sessions of the convention that Mr. Bates, already popular, rendered such an able report of the work of the order for the past year that not one would have any chance against him for that office. Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight Stewart E. Hoyt, of Boston, was elected Grand Esteemed Leading Knight, and Mr. James E. Carter, of Richmond, Va., was elected Grand Treasurer. Grand Exalted Ruler T. G. Nutter reappointed Attorney Armond W. Scott. Grand Legal Advisor. Parade and Ball Spectacular. The parade of the $ ^{o} $ marching clubs was one of the best and most spectacular seen in this city for a long time—and that is going a long ways—when it is considered that hundreds of orders and organizations hold conventions in Atlantic City during the year. There were more than four thousand men in line $ ^{o} $ Besides the marching clubs there were many automobiles filled with the Grand Officers and two large fleats were filled, with delegates from the auxiliaries. The ball on the Million Dollar Pier was gorgeous. No need of trying to write what it looked like. It defies description. The ladies were dressed, also hundreds were semi-dressed, in the latest creations, and hundreds came from Boston, New York, Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and many other cities especially for that function. The gentlemen, most of them, were attired in the last word in fashionable dress. This, with the beauty of the costumes of the marching clubs, the uniforms of the Spanish War Veterans and the gayly decked bandmen made a scene wonderful to behold. More than three thousand people gathered in the hall room of the famous Million Dollar Pier for the grandest social function of colored people ever held in this city and which was the culmination of the grandest and most successful convention of Negroes ever held in Atlantic City. METROPOLITAN G. E. NOTES. The A. C. E. L. of Washington (Metronolitan A. M. E. Church) is doing excellent, practical work. The year's report shows progress. Under the leadership of our magnetic and untiring president, Miss Anna S. Payne, the record has been broken. Better results have been reached than ever before. The visit of several members of the league to the Home for the Aged and Infirm was a departure from the usual routine work. There are 289 inmates and each one received a package containing sugar, oranges and apples, crackers, candy and tobacco. For individual uplift there were several lectures with stereopicon views. They were most fortunate in securing the assistance of such splendid talent as Prof. John R. Hawkins, Dr. B. F. Watson, Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, Prof. N. E. Thomas, Dr. P. O'Connell, Mrs. R. E. Lawson, Miss Nannie Burroughs, the State superintendent, Mr. R. A. Tucker, Dr. I. N. Ross, Miss M. Hall Ross and others. One can readily see what high grade programs must have been prepared each Sunday. The society is growing in numbers and interest. This winter promises even a better service than that of last year. The lecture room has been treated to new window shades by the society. Just now our president is visiting in Midland, Va. The Sunday A. C. E. L. service will begin at 7:30 p. m. and will take the place of the regular church service. In the absence of the pastor, Dr. I. N. Ross, Dr. B. F. Watson has taken charge and invites the league to have the 7:30 p. m. services on Sunday. 'All are welcome. The league has purchased the latest C. E. books.

Napier is a man who is well thought of in the South. He is a polished gentleman. Mrs. Ella V. Chase Williams, editor in chief of the White Ribbon Monthly has just been issued. It is a fine and sensible periodical, full of good sense and logic. The new Minister to Liberia was a black eye to Negro Democracy. The organization of colored Democracy was not considered. The world seems to be in sympathy with Harry Thaw. Commissioner Oliver P. Newman is bound to win, no matter which way the cat jumps. He is a good man. The Washington Negro Business League was too well represented in Philadelphia, Pa., last month. The Foster Dye-Works is among the leading business houses in this city. The National Independent Political League has been resurrected and is now agitating civil and political rights. J. C. Manning is in New Jersey defending the cause of the Southern black man. Judge E. M. Hewlett is a royal race man, notwithstanding what may be said of him. He never betrays a Negro no matter what his faults may be. Shall we have a daily Bee? The greatest race defender is The Bee.

Boston, of Washington, D. C. Tune. "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Copyright 1912 by E. M. Boston. There's a great commotion stirring colored people all around: Praising God for blessed freedom, fifty years ago they found: Lincoln's Proclamation broke their fetters safe and sound, For God had sent him on. Chorus: Golden Jubilee of Freedom! Golden Jubilee of Freedom! Golden Jubilee of Freedom! Old God still leads us on. From a Dutch slave ship they landed in Virginia long ago: 'Twas the year of 1610, the beginning of their woe; From sun to sun they labored, heaping riches for the foe. Till fifty years ago.—Chorus. The Civil War is ended; blood was shed the debt to pay: For the curse of human slavery is forever washed away: The Negro helped to save the flag this Nation waves today. For God is leading on.—Chorus. We were here before the Pilgrims and we are here to stay: The future's growing brighter toiling upward day by day: From bondage on to Congressmen the Negro's made his way. For God is leading on—Chorus. Twenty Years In Call Unfita Pareled Convict For Real Bed. Topeka, Kan.—Morgan Wright, sent to prison in 1833 from Cowley county for complicity in the murder of a constable and released on parole by Governor Hodges, found that a free bed was so soft he was unable to sleep his first night out of prison. Wright came to Topeka to thank the governor. He is on his way to see his father in Shawnee, Okla., and then will go to California to begin life anew. "I didn't sleep well last night," said Wright to the governor. "It was the first real bed I have slept in for nearly twenty years. "When I left the prison yesterday I didn't know which way to turn or what to do. It was all so_new and strange to me. Every one seemed so busy and in such a hurry that I can't quite understand it. Even the school children rushed along the street. But I think if the world is such a busy place that there must be some place for me, and I am going to try to find it." STREET STREWN WITH BILLS. Thought to Be Robber's Plunder by Government Officials. Leavenworth, Kan.—Three postoffice inspectors have begun an investigation of the finding of hundreds of dollars in gold certificates believed to be a portion of $20,000 stolen by Charles Savage from a mall truck in the Union station in Kansas City five years ago. Developments show that persons have been finding the certificates, mostly of the $20 denomination, for a month and have kept the matter secret. It is estimated that at least $1,000 has been picked up in gutters, vacant lots and back yards. All the money was discovered within a radius of eight blocks of the home of a relative of Charles Savage at whose house he stopped before his arrest. One theory of the investigators is that the money was concealed in a tree and dislodged by recent high winds. 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 1898, during the rush to the Yukon, when this city was made the starting point of the overland trail to the Klondike. The story told here by Gardiner is that during the Klondike rush three prospectors went into the Hayes river country, which, except for a small part along the river near Vermillion, is unexplored. One of the party was found on the river bank a year afterward. The man was emaciated and lived only a few hours, but in his last few minutes of life told of a fight with Indians, who killed his two companions. He had in his possession samples of the richest gold. It could have been procured in no other place, so it may be that unexplored territory is rich in the yellow metal. Though the hinterland has been explored to points within the arctic circle, the Upper Hayes river country still remains a vast unknown stretch. Remarking upon the fact, an old timer in the north country said he had never known of a white man getting far into that part of the country. From Edmonton to Peace river crossing by way of Athabasca is 400 miles, and outside of about a fifty mile stretch beyond Peace river crossing and the Upper Hayes still lies a great unexplored land of rolling and so far as is known, open country. It is inhabited by the Dog Ribs tribe of Indians. The territory runs clear through to the mountains on the British Columbia side, and it is supposed that a large number of "bad Indians" have settled in there. HORSE LEADS TO CROOKS' DEN Police Follow Unguided Animal to Resort of Thieves. Spokane, Wash. After a horse had led detectives to a house occupied by two men already under bond because of larceny charges warrants were issued charging the two men with attempts to rob. The horse had been left behind in a lumber yard when Detective Benway shot at the men and in return was shot through the left leg. The horse, attached to the wagon, was turned loose and, followed by the two detectives, went to a house in the suburbs that the police alleged was occupied by the men named in the warrants. Ram Grows Oat Grow. 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. HEART MAY STOP BEATING. Physician Says Ten Minute Interruption Is Not Dangerous Paris.-The following very interesting statements, some of which are considered striking by the leading lights of French medical science, were made by Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Bockefeller Institute For Medical Research, New York, at his first official lecture at the Paul Beaujon hospital. Dr. Carrel announced that he was now able to operate in the chest cavity with as much ease and safety as in the abdomen. "It is now a simple cut," he said, "and we open the thorax and operate upon the lungs, heart and aorta as we treat the kidneys and the intestines. We now know also just how much the brain, the spinal cord and the heart can stand as regards the temporary anaesthetics required by operations. "The heart suffers very little. You interrupted circulation as long as care is taken that it has enough oxygen and it may be stopped for five or even ten minutes without danger, while in the spinal marrow the circulation may be stopped as long as twenty minutes." For the brain, however, four minutes is the limit of safety, and after five it is very difficult to restore normal conditions." A huge field of work remained, he said in conclusion, to be done as regards operations upon the human heart, and the study of these was of the greatest possible importance. This was especially true of surgery for aneurisms and the shrinking of the aorta or pulmonary arteries. Columbia, S. C.—When United States Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina recently consented to the confirmation by the senate of President Wilson's appointment of William M. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia (S. C.) State, as minister to Cuba a famous political and personal feud of twenty-four years' standing in South Carolina came to an official end. The Tillman and Gonzales families have been bitter enemies, and the Palmetto State has been the scene of many beaten battles fought by ablite leaders on both sides. On one occasion the differences were augmented by bloodshed. The Gonzales brothers—three of them—were exponents of views of the old aristocratic element—the ex slave owners and wealthy planters who could trace their ancestors back hundreds of years and who composed the society element and the financial backbone of the state. Senator Tillman in his vigorous and stirring campaign for governor of South Carolina in the early nineties was victorious over this position. He was elected United States senator and has served his state in thinclacity for the past sixtteen years. James Tillman, a nephew of the senator, was elected lieutenant governor Later he was a candidate for governor The Gonzales' fight on the Tillmans had never let up—many stinging and rebuking editorials were published in their paper. James Tillman was defeated. Shortly after the election he met N. G. Gonzales, at that time editor of the paper, on the streets of Columbia and shot him dead. He subsequently was acquitted. A monument now stands in Columbia honoring the memory of N. G. Gonzales. On this it is recorded that Gonzales was "murdered" near the spot where the monument stands. Jim Tillman, as he was generally known, was later retired from politics. He became ill with tuberculosis. The climate of the west failed to cause an improvement in his condition, and he returned to his native state. In the meantime he had quarreled with his uncle, and the breach was an open one. The last days of Jim Tillman were spent in a lonely little cottage at Ashville, N. C., and he died there about a year ago. The bitter campaign of 1912 against Cole L. Blease came on in South Carolina in August, 1912. For the first time Tillman and Gonzales were on the same side, both favoring the election of the opponent of Blease. Threatened to bring the two factions on closer terms. The fact that Senator Tillman permitted the senate to confirm the appointment of Mr. Gonzales as minister to Cuba officially ends the struggle of twenty years, marked by a continual and able fighting on both sides, and, even by bloodshed. SOCKLESS MAN IS DIVORCED Wife Says She Washed His Face and Hands Daily. Chicago.—Because her husband was too lazy to wash his face and would not wear socks unless she put them on him, Mrs. Jessie Wood of East Eighth street, Paterson, has obtained a divorce. According to Mrs. Wood, her husband, James G., was the personification of laziness. She endured him for five years. She testified that Wood refused to work. He developed a great desire to sleep during the day. Then she says, he became so lazy he would not take a bath. Eather than invite criticism she washed his hands and face daily and put on his socks. He was able bodied, but his wife says he was just naturally "dired." FINDS HEARSE AT STATION. Woman Supposed to Be Dead Changeee Plans For Funeral. Bellefontaine, O.-When Mrs. George W. Carr of Yellow Springs alighted from a train at West Liberty recently, she was surprised to see a hearse, an undertaker and carriage, one being occupied by her mother and a clergyman, awaiting her coming. She found she was supposed to have died and that the hearse was to take her body to West Liberty cemetery. A mistake in a telegram was the cause. Mrs. Carr's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Shumate, received a telegram saving Mrs. Carr had died Monday night and that the body would arrive at West Liberty. Mrs. Shumate had received a letter previously in which Mrs. Carr said she would visit her mother. Mrs. Shumate was prostrated when the supposed death message came. Her husband died suddenly a year ago, and her son passed away without warning recently, and she supposed her last remaining child was also dead. When Mrs. Carr stepped from the train alive and well there was a pathetic reunion. Many friends of Mrs. Carr were also at the depot, for the village newspaper bad published a column obituary notice. PORCUPINE TO BE DISPLAYED Another of Perry's Ships Discovered and Fitted Up. Cleveland.-The Porcupine, another vessel of the fleet which, under Commodore Perry, defeated the British fleet in the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812, has been discovered and is being repaired to take part in the centennial celebrations of Perry's victory. Raised from the shore of the lake eight years ago and hauled ashore by Charles G. Bolthouse, the Porcupine is being refitted by Mr. Bolthouse and his cousin, B. J. Reinders of Cleveland. After the battle of Lake Erie the Porcupine was used in the government revenue service on the great lakes until 1830, when she was sold at auction to Senator Ferry of Michigan. Senator Ferry rebuilt the boat and used her in the lumber trade until 1847. Unit for further use, the Porcupine was turned adrift and later floated into the harbor of Grand River, Mich., and sunk. Punxsutawney, Pa.—With the colds of a python twenty-five feet long tightening gradually around his body, James Harve Stenger, manager for a carnival company, escaped being crushed to death only through the power of music to soothe the reptile after the efforts of six men had failed to dislodge it. Mr. Stenger was superintending the unloading of a box of snakes when the python escaped. For an instant the reptile seemed to be dazed, and as Mr. Stenger took a stick and tried to push it through a door into a big glass case the snake turned like a flash. In an instant the python entwined itself around Mr. Stenger, planting his arms to his sides. Nix men went to Mr. Stenger's aid and attempted to pull the snake from his body. The folds of the big reptile, however, only drew closer, and Mr. Stenger was on the verge of a collapse when Mile La Boneto, who owns the reptile, appeared with a dageolet between her lips. Stationing herself near the snake, she began to play a low, weird melody, at the same time awaying her body to and fro gently. Raising its head, the python began to away in rhythm with the player and the music, and gradually loosening its folds from Mr. Stenger, it colled on the ground with its head swinging from side to side. Nowly approaching the snake, Mile, La Roneto, still playing gently, forced it into the glass cage. In the meantime Mr. Steenger, who had toppled over unconscious when released from the folds of the snake, was revived and found to be uninjured. MAN DROWNED BY FISH. Tries to Swim River Carrying Forty Pounds of Them. Newton, N. J.-Harry O. Pitman, eighteen years old, was drowned in trying to swim the Paulinskill river with a catch of forty pounds of all kinds of fish strung about his neck. He went down in the whirlpool near the Stillwater bridge, while friends who thought his cries for help were in fun laughed at him. They answered his second frantic cry, but too late. Pitman went spearing fish with Edward Huff of Hardwick township, by whom he was employed, and Lester Huff, brother of Edward. They had good luck, and at 230 o'clock decided they had enough to "call it a night." Pitman suggested that they swim back and started first. Bedford, Ind.-J. W. Mundy of this city sheds the nails from his toes every two years, and this has occurred since he was a child. When asked to see his foot, Mr. Mundy bared his left foot and showed the old nails, barely hanging to the toes, and the new nails growing under the old ones. M'LEAN DEMANDS BIRD PROTECTION Feather Trade and Those Who Insist on Wearing Plumes and Aigrets Share In Abuse—Points Out Laws of Germany and Lauds Them. Senator George P. McLean of Connecticut, author of the bill to protect migratory game birds, strongly urged the senate to adopt the house provision of the tariff bill prohibiting the importation of the plumage of birds. He attacked the feather trade and denounced the "ignorant women" who insist upon plumes and aigrets in following the dictates of fashion. Senator McLean pictured the wanton destruction of birds at the nest season, the widespread dearth of birds that are enemies to insects and other pests that destroy crops and the killing of game wardens who tried to protect the feathered tribes. "The plumage trade," he declared, "has left behind it a trail of savage A. SENATOR GEORGE P. M'LEAN. cruelty, and civilized greed and cunning and nothing whatever to commend it except the blood money it has collected from ignorant women. I say ignorant women because no woman worthy of the name will encourage this trade once she understands her responsibility for it." Referring to Germany's protest, he said that Germany for many years by imperial act had prohibited the killing of useful and beautiful birds. "Upon what ground and with what grace do the German merchants ask us to find a market for their contraband goods?" he asked. He quoted Dr. Field, Massachusetts game commissioner, in reply to the criticism that the bill would encourage the destruction of American birds. Dr. Field appeared before a congressional committee and said he had prosecuted seventy-five milliners for selling the plumage of native birds, and in every instance the dealer asserted he could not tell the native from the foreign plumage when it was received from the dealer. "It was found in these cases that all manner of beautiful American birds were killed and their plumage sent to Berlin, London or Paris and there mounted and returned to this country as foreign plumage. How easy, in these circumstances, for the traders who appeared before the finance committee to swear they never deal in American birds. And how clear it is that only by the strictest guard over our imports can we prevent the cunning dealers from stealing our birds and selling them back to us as foreign birds. "It is contended by the trade that the enactment of this law will throw out of employment those now engaged in it. The savages who do the killing scarcely will excite our sympathy. As for the milliners, there is ample proof that the trade will be quickly diverted to artificial lines, which will multiply tenfold the labor now required to mount the natural plumes. "The plea that the feathers of game birds should be admitted is easily answered. Game birds are and will be imported with their feathers on, and this law will in no way affect the trade in game birds. Where the plumage of game birds is imported it is taken in the nesting season and the bodies of the birds are thrown away. The tons of ptarmigan wings recently imported from Russia meant the slaughter in the spring of tens of thousands of game birds for their wings only. "As long as birds' feathers are worth their weight in gold the birds that happen to produce them will be hunted to the uttermost parts of the earth. Nearly all the civilized nations prohibit the killing of plumage and insectivorous birds by treaty or law, or both, but there is still a vast field unguarded where the bird pirate can ply his trade as long as the highly civilized nations furnish a market for his victims. "This senate passed a resolution this session inviting the president to negotiate conventions with foreign nations for the protection of birds—not our birds, not game birds, not migatory birds, not song or insectivorous birds, but birds the avi fauna of the world." GOES CRAZY AT OPERATION. Surgeon Suddenly Loses Mind and Patient Is Killed. Cincinnati, O.—A distressing story was told in probate court by the wife of Dr. William R. Dabney, a Marletta physician, before he was committed to Longview hospital upon the application of his wife. Mrs. Dabney told the court physician that the first signs of mental trouble were exhibited by her husband while he was performing a surgical operation in a Marletta hospital. He slashed right and left with his operating knife, and employees of the hospital had to take him in charge. The patient, she said, was the unfortunate victim of his sudden madness and was killed. The wife said that she took her husband to Canada, hoping that rest would restore his reason. But he did not get much better and was brought to Cincinnati a short time ago. BRAVEST OF CHICAGO'S FORCE Patrolman McDermott Wins Harrison and Tree Medal. Chicago.-Patrolman James M. McDermott was officially declared the bravest of the force when the civil service commission awarded him the Harrison and Tree medal for 1912. This is the highest honor that can be given to a policeman by the city. McDermott arrested a murderer who had crawled beneath a house and threatened to shoot any one who came after him. The policeman pried off some boards at the bottom of the building and squeezed his way in the darkness to where the criminal lay. As he advanced, the man twice pulled the trigger of his revolver, but the cartridges failed to explode. The mechanism of the weapon had become clogged by dirt. The commission decided that this was the bravest deed of the year. PONIES TRAINED TO EAT MATES' FLESH Dire Hardships Experienced In Crossing Greenland. Copenhagen The story told by Captain Koch, a Danish explorer, of the crossing of Greenland in company with three hardy companions shows that the dangers and hardships to be encountered on the great inland ice field have not decreased since Peary and Nansen journeyed over a part of the same wastes. The Danish leader and his three companions, Dr Wagener, a German; Larsen, a sailor, and Sigurdson, a native of Iceland, were reduced during their journey to eating a pet dog, the only animal left. After landing on July 24, 1912, the first mishap encountered was the loss of some ponies. Soon after that their motorboat disappeared through the thin ice, and the explorers had to wait until near the end of September before the ice was thick enough to bear their sliders and horses. When they were ready to start Dr. Wagener fell and broke a rib. The expedition was ten miles east of Queen Louise Land Oct. 13, and went into winter quarters. Because fodder was short all the ponies were killed except five, which were trained to eat the flesh of their brothers. During a sledging trip Captain Koch fell forty feet into a crevasse, breaking his right leg. He was helpless in the but throughout the winter in a temperature generally 50 degrees below zero. On April 20, this year, the four men broke camp and with five sleighs, each drawn by a pony, started on their 750 mile march to the west coast. For forty days blizzards raged. The ponies became snow blind and so exhausted that three were killed. Then, with the night temperature 20 below zero, the sun's rays burned the skin from the men's faces until they looked like raw beef. On July 15 they tried to push on to the coast, which was now visible, but they were so exhausted from hunger, cold and wet they could scarcely move. The only chance for life was to kill the pet dog, which had tramped with them about 500 miles. This was done, and the flesh was cooked and eaten. BUILDS 15 OCEAN STEAMSHIPS Royal Mail Company to Spend $30,000,-000 For New Vessels. Tacoma, Wash. - The Royal Mail Steam Packet company is building seven 15,000 ton freight and passenger steamships, costing $1,500,000 each, for service between Europe and Ppget sound via the orient. This announcement was recently made by E. J. Martyn Nash, American representative of the company, with headquarters at New York. The first vessel will leave London for Tacoma Nov. 22. After the Panama canal is opened the steamships will return to Europe via Panama and New York. For the West Indies and South America service Mr. Nash says the company is building eight triple screw steamships, costing nearly $20,000,000. Joker Shipa Twenty-Jour Live Snakes. Othello, Wash.-One of the strangest shipments ever sent from here consisted of a box containing two dozen snakes, billed to Mitchell, S. D. The snakes are all small and harmless. The shipment is intended as a joke upon the consignee. SEEKING BEST FARM SYSTEM Report on Those of Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota. Washington.—Dr. Thomas N. Carver, head of the rural organization service, department of agriculture, has reported to Secretary Houston that he had found the farmers in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota about as well organized and as prosperous as any in the world. Dr. Carver is studying co-operative systems in practice in the northwest, with a view to recommending the best ideas in use there to farmers in other parts of the country. Since the start of the rural organization service, a few months ago, intensive studies have been going on in Minnesota into every phase of the farm life there, social moral and economic. "Our principal work," said Dr. Carver recently, "will be to find out where the best possible farming conditions prevail and what causes are responsible for this success and then to get farmers elsewhere to adopt similar methods with the hope that equally good results will follow." BANKING BY MAIL, ALSO. Announced In Connection With Extension of Parcel Post. Washington. - Postmaster General Burleson announced that on Aug. 15, the same date as that on which the extension of the parcel post is effective, the "banking by mail" feature becomes a part of the postal savings system. This innovation will enable depositors living in remote districts to avail themselves of the system. In the matter of the parcel post, Mr. Burleson announced that after Aug. 15 the weight limit on packages is placed at twenty pounds and that a reduction in charges was ordered for local delivery from 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound to 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional two pounds or fraction thereof. For delivery in the first zone the rate will be reduced from 5 cents for the first and 3 cents for each additional pound to 5 cents and 1 cent; for the second zone the rate will be cut from 6 cents and 4 cents to 5 cents and 1 cent for each additional pound. Washington. - The interstate commerce commission has ordered the express companies to lower their rates, improve their service and modify their practices and systems of accounts. The order issued by the commission radically lowers the rates on express packages under fifty pounds. The reductions, which range from 10 to 60 per cent, with an average of 15 per cent, will cost the companies $20,000,000, or nearly 16 per cent of their gross revenue, it is estimated. The new rates become effective Oct. 15 and continue for two years. It is believed that it will require two years to try out the proposed schedules. In making the order Commissioner Marble said the report and order lay the following requirements upon the express companies: The adoption of the block system of stating rates: the establishment of a uniform classification; the publication of a joint directory of express stations; the publication jointly of the pick up and delivery limits at each station; the adoption of revised rules and regulations. Under the present method of compiling tariffs 900,000,000 separate rates are published by the express companies. Under the block system the number is reduced to 650,000. The United States is to be divided into 950 blocks, averaging 2,500 square miles to the block The most important change is in the modification of the present graduated scale of parcel rates. The 100 pound rates for short distances have either been but slightly reduced or have been left unchanged. For long distances the 100 pound rates have been somewhat reduced. MRS. EATON'S TRIAL SET. Must Face Jury Oct. 13 For Murder of Admiral. Greenfield, Mass.-Chief Justice Alken of the superior court has ordered that the trial of Mrs. Jennie May Eaton, for the murder of her husband, Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton, be called at Plymouth on Oct. 13. Mrs. Eaton was arrested twelve days after the admiral died from poisoning at their home in Assinippl, on March 8. With the exception of two brief appearances in court she has since been in jail at Plymouth. Mrs. Eaton is accused of having placed poison in coffee and other food prepared for the admiral. Drowns In a Milk Can. Fond du Lac. Wis. - Death by drowning in a milk can that contained only four inches of water was the fate of Norman, the four-year-old son of Mr and Mrs. Ed Schumacher of Calumetville The child's chair, standing at the side of the milk can, guided the grandmother when she sought the missing child, who had fallen headforemost into the receptacle and was dead. AN EYE OF PITY AND MIGHTY ARM HEATHEN·GODS VENGEFUL. God Only Can Roll Away the Curse of Death and Redeem Man—Earthly Pity Is Ineffective—The Human Arm of Power Cannot Restore Adam and His Race—God Alone Is Able to Meet the Conditions and Rescue the Perishing—The Divine Plan Is Outlined In the Bible—Only the Foundations of It Are Yet Fixed—Great Superstructure of Blessing Just Before Us. London, August 31.—Pastor Russell, of the London Tabernacle, had for his text today the words, "The people which shall be created shall praise the Lord; for He hath looked down from the height of His Sanctuary; from Heaven did the Lord behold' the London, August 31.—Pastor Russell, of the London Tabernacle, had for his text today the words, "The people which shall be created shall praise the Lord; for He hath looked down from the height of His Sanctuary; from Heaven did the Lord behold the earth, to hear the groaning of the prisoners, to loose them that are appointed to death." (Isaiah 102:18-20.) He spoke in part as follows:— The Bible declares the only God of love, of sympathy, of compassion. The heathen gods are all vengeful, tyrannical, merciless, captious. And the picture of God in our creeds, formulated in the Dark Ages, misrepresents Him even more than do the heathen idols. All the false gods are repulsive. Only of the God of the Bible can it be truly said, "My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God." To rid ourselves of the misconceptions of the Almighty furnished by our creeds and to appreciate the God of the Bible should be the endeavor of all intelligent people. Mark the sympathy of God for His fallen creatures, as expressed in our text. Note how it contradicts our theories respecting the Divine predestination of more than nine-tenths of our race to eternal torture. The Lord was mindful of His Creatures. He did not abandon them because of the disobedience in Eden. He looked down from the heights of His holy Sanctuary. From Heaven He beheld the earth and its teeming millions plunged into sin by the Adversary and suffering the penalty for sin—"Dying, thou shalt die." Human Wretchedness In God's Sight. To behold the earth from the Heavenly viewpoint must be a terrible sight—enough to make angels weep—sighing, crying, dying, everywhere. Some are demented to the extent of preferring darkness to light, wallowing in the mire of sin and feeding upon the apples of Sodom; some of them so depraved that they love the wrong and hate the right; others so weak that they cannot do the things that they would; many of them in jails, penitentiaries, etc.; other hundreds of thousands in hospitals; and still other hundreds of thousands in insane asylums; and thousands of millions gone down to the tomb, with a few in comparative health, rushing headlong seeking for happiness, or fighting and cheating to amass fortune, which, dying, they must leave. Verily, as God looks down, the Earth must appear to Him like a vast hospital, a cemetery, a mad-house. Not with curiosity did the Almighty look upon us, but with sympathy—with loving intention. Indeed, from the very beginning He foreknew man's wayward course and its penalty of sin and death, and from that beginning He planned the great rescue which now He is to begin. The rescue is not from a fiery hell of everlasting torture, but from the terrible condition of sin and death in which we find ourselves. Freeing Death-Appointed Prisoners The entire race of Adam, shackled with sin and under sentence of death, have for six thousand years been marching to the great prison-house of the tomb. An ever-increasing number, they are now entering the prison-house at the rate of ninety thousand every twenty-four hours. Notwithstanding the efforts they make to be happy, the Apostle was undoubtedly correct in his declaration—"the whole creation groans and travails in pain together." God has heard the groaning of these prisoners, has sympathized with them and has provided a redemption. As one man's sin brought the curse upon himself and, by laws of heredity, upon all of his children, so Divine Wisdom has arranged that a Savior, and a Great One, should give Himself a Ransom for Adam and his race. This already has been accomplished. In that Christ died, "the Just for the unjust," to bring back to harmony with God the condemned Adam and his race. But this is not sufficient. It is only the beginning. The thousands of millions brought into being as children of Adam need to be rescued from the prison-house of death. It is not sufficient that they should be legally loosed. They need to be actually set free. And since life has been lost, life itself must be restored to them ere they can profit by the Redeemer's sacrifice. The New Creation. God's benevolent design for the re- creation of the human family began its operation at Pentecost, in His acceptance of the Church and the begetting of its members by the Holy Spirit—a work which will continue until the entire number of the fore-ordained New Creation shall have been accepted, tested, and gloriously exalted by the power of the First Resurrection.—Revelation 20:6. But the completing of the Church and her exalting with the Redeemer on the Heavenly plane will not be the end of the Divine Program of blessing and re-creation arranged for Adam and his race. Rather, as the Scriptures express it, these will be a kind of First-fruits to God of His creatures. (James 1:18.) The after-fruits will be a much more numerous company, though less choice as respects quality. Again, the Lord assures us that the Church, now being selected, is "the Church of the First-borns," whose names are "written in Heaven." And if they are the First-borns, as the tribe of Levi represented the first-borns of all the tribes of Israel, then the inference is clear that there are to be after-borns—that the whole groaning creation is to have at least an opportunity for enjoying a share in the re-creation judiciously arranged for in the death of Jesus for the sins of the whole world of mankind. In the Regeneration Times. Our redeemer, when asked by His disciples what special reward they would have for leaving all and following Him, replied that in the regeneration times they, as His disciples, would sit with Him in His Throne, and be the judges, the rulers, the instructors, the helpers, of all the tribes of Israel, typically representing all the families of the earth desirous of return to harmony with God—Matthew 19:23. St. Peter, to whom Jesus addressed these words, distinctly points out to us that those Times of Regeneration, or Restitution, are waiting—delaying until the Second Coming of Christ in the power and glory of His Messianic Kingdom. (Acts 3:19-21). Then those "Times of Restitution," the world's regeneration time, will be ushered in. Then the Church, changed from earthly nature to Heavenly nature, will be with her Lord, and share His glory. "When Christ * * * shall appear, we [the Church of the First-borns, the first-fruits unto God of His creatures] shall appear with Him in glory." (Colossians 3:4.) The Heavenly Bride will be the Heavenly Bridegroom's joint-heir in His Kingdom, and assistant in His great work of re-creating the race—restoring them to primeval conditions, plus the experiences of the fall. True, we are not to forget that the Scriptures indicate that there will be a testing of character in respect to those who will be fully brought back to all that was lost. But the testing will be such as all will approve. All who participate in the experiences of the fall and its reign, of Sin and Death must be made acquainted with the Redeemer and His restoring powers. But only such as respond to these blessings, and come to love righteousness and hate infiquity, will have confirmed to them the gift of God—everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. All others will justly die the Second Death, from which there will be no redemption, no resurrection. As St. Peter says, such shall perish like natural brute beasts.—2 Peter 2:12. This Bible story of God's compassion upon our death-condemned race is told in various terms; but the import of the Good Tidings in every case is the same. For instance, it is described by St. Paul as the "resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust." The just—justified by faith—faithfully, maintaining their relationship to God through Christ, and proving their loyalty by obedience and a walk in opposition to the spirit of the world, will constitute the First Resurrection, the first fruits. The reign of Christ's saints is the long promised Millennium, or thousand years of righteousness, during which Satan will be bound, that he may no longer deceive mankind. That thousand years will be the time of human Restitution—to the perfection once enjoyed by Father Adam, but lost by his disobedience, and redeemed for the race by the Savior's obedience. All the willing and obedient shall be raised up out of sin, out of imperfection, out of dying conditions, back to the image and likeness of God—re-created in God's image. This is the resurrection of the unjust. The resurrection blessing is not intended merely for the Church, the justified by faith. It is intended also, evidently, to be for all the unjust—the world of mankind—Adam and all his race. They all shall have full opportunity to return to the Father's House, and to the blessings which Divine Wisdom and Love have provided for all who appreciate the gift of God—everlasting life. But the rest of the dead—aside from the Church, which will constitute the First Resurrection—will not live again until the thousand years of the Messianic Kingdom be finished. As the dying process has been In operation for six thousand years, so the living again will operate during the seventh thousand. Adam, after his disobedience, was dying for nine hundred and thirty years before he was dead. Similarly, the world of mankind will be gradually getting alive during the thousand years of Christ's Reign, but will not be fully alive and approved of the Father until the thousand years of the Messianic Kingdom shall be finished. Creation Delivered From Bondage. St. Paul declared that the whole creation is groaning and travelling in pain together—dying on account of Adam's sin. (Romans 5:12.) But the Apostle also declares that the entire groaning creation shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption—slav- ory to death. (Romans 8:21-23.) We have seen that this deliverance will be during the period of Messiah's Reign, and as a result of His sacrifice. Delivering, or freeing, from the bondage of corruption means restoration, restitution, resurrection. The bondage of corruption includes all sicknesses palms, weaknesses - mental, moral, physical. Hence the Appostle's statement speaks to us of the complete rolling away of the curse and the full re-establishment of all the willing and obedient in God's favor and under His blessing, which maketh rich; and He addeth no sorrow therewith. Haste the Glad Day. Can we wonder, in view of the foregoing Plan of God, that the Apostles and the Prophets prayed, "Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly"? that the poets have sung, "Inaste the glad day when Christ appears"? that St. Paul urged us to preparation for the Kingdom of God's dear Son, and that the Master Himself taught us to pray, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven"? The difficulty with us and with other Christian people is that during the Dark Ages the inspiration of these glorious truths was to a considerable degree lost to our view—overshadowed by what St. Paul prophetically described as "doctrines of devils." He declared that before the coming of Messiah's Kingdom many would depart from "the faith once delivered to the saints" and give heed to seducing spirits—seducing doctrines incubated by the fallen spirits, fallen angels. Thus the Church came under grievous false doctrines, "doctrines of demons," which, combining with the doctrines of Truth, produced so confusing and stupefying a potion as justified our Savior in speaking of us in our condition as being "drunk with the wine" of false doctrine. Amongst the false doctrines which have blinded us to the Truth of the Divine Plan are the false theories of Hell and of Purgatory, and of a God foreordaining all except the Elect to eternal torture. Another of the deceiving doctrines is the one which led us to believe that the Church in the present life is to reign over the world, to conquer it for Christ and to bring all the blessings promised. Under these delusions, so contrary to the Bible, we have tried to make ourselves believe that we were converting the world; while, instead, we were neglecting the principal work given us by the Lord; namely, that of building ourselves up in the Most Holy Faith—the character-likeness of our Redeemer. Now we see more clearly the absurdity of such a position. We perceive that there are twice as many heathen as there were a century ago, and that any work of civilization amongst the heathen nations is not making saints of them, nor making them more happy or more contented. Now we perceive that if the entire heathen world were brought to the civilized condition enjoyed by the most favored nations of earth, there would still be as much need as ever for the Prayer, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven." Why the Long Delay? The reason for God's delay in establishing His Kingdom in the earth, blinding Satan for a thousand years, and overthrowing the powers of darkness in the earth, is now clear to us. We perceive that it is because God purposes first of all to gather from amongst the redeemed world of mankind a saintly company, a Little Flock, who in heart, at least, will have the characteristics of the Savior Himself. As the Redeemer so loved righteousness and hated infliquity as to be willing to sacrifice His life on behalf of righteousness, so it will be with the class styled in the Scriptures, "the very Elect." These, called, drawn, sanctified, are introduced now into the School of Christ, that they may learn of Him—that they may develop His character-likeness. Willing, Obedient, Worthy. We have shown the wide distinction between the reward of the Church in Heavenly glory and the reward of the obedient of mankind in earthly glory in Paradise restored. God is just; and hence we are not surprised to find that the pathway which leads to the Heavenly glory is distinctly different from the one which leads to earthly glory and Restitution. The latter was represented by the Law, the sum and substance of which is the Golden Rule—righteousness, obedience to God, loyalty to Him in every respect. These glorious standards assure us that the perfect man will be a glorious being and every way reflect the character of his Creator, as Adam did at the first. As was the earthly one in his perfection, such will also be the earthly ones in their restored, regenerated, recreated condition. Their advantage over our first parents will be that, in the meantime, they will have come to fully appreciate the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, obedience and disobedience, and the difference between the rewards of these life and death. The Church, on the contrary, will have a much severer test than the Golden Rule. Hors will be the test of loyalty to the extent of the Redeemer's loyalty. As He laid down His life in obedience to the Father's will and in the service of the Truth, so these must all thus do. They must all demonstrate their loyalty to God by the very highest tests—by obedience even unto death—by voluntarily laying down their lives for the brethren—by being willing to follow the Lord and the Truth through evil report and good report, accounting that the trials and difficulties of the way are but light afflictions in comparison with the exceeding blessings which shall be theirs if faithful to the end of the way. MUCH INTEREST IN SULZER HEARING SEN. WAGNER WILL PRESIDE Court of Impeachment Consists of Members of State Senate and Court of Appeals—Two-thirds Vote Necessary to Remove Sulzer Permanently. Albany, N. Y.-Not only the state of New York, but the entire Union as well, is eagerly awaiting the beginning of the impeachment trial of William Sulzer, which starts on Sept. 18. The accused will face the high court of impeachment on charges brought by the lower house of the state legislature. The hearing will be staged in the senate chamber of the state capitol at Albany. This will mark the first time a governor of an American state has faced impeachment proceedings since the year 1876, when Adelbert Ames, then governor of Mississippi, was impeached. Ames resigned before his trial, thus bringing the proceedings to an abrupt termination. State Senator Robert F. Wagner, president pro tempore of the senate, who became president of the senate when Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glyni was automatically promoted to the position of acting governor by reason of the charges against Sulzer, will preside at the impeachment trial of the man who was chosen chief execu- THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC Photo of Wagner, © 1913, by American Press Association. RENATOR WAGNER, WHO WILL PRESIDE AT IMPREACHMENT TRIAL, AND STATE CAPITOL AT ALBANY. tive of the state of New York. The court that will say whether or not Sulzer wjll be restored to the position or shall be convicted of the charges will consist of the state senate and members of the court of appeals. In order to impeach a governor it is necessary to have a two-thirds vote of the court. There shall be no appeal from the decision of the high court of impeachment, and this tribunal's decision will be absolutely final. At the trial the accused governor will appear in person with his counsel and will try to disprove the charges brought against him by the legislature. If the charges be sustained and the governor is permanently removed from office then the acting governor, who in this instance is Mr. Glynn, will continue to act as governor until the next election. Whether or not Mrs. Sulzer, wife of the accused, will appear in person as a witness at the trial is a question that is attracting wide interest here. It is recalled that just prior to the time a vote was taken in the assembly on the impeachment motion the wife of the governor issued a statement claiming to be responsible for the alleged deals in Wall street stocks and endowed to shoulder the blame. It is likely that she will take the stand at the trial of her husband and repeat this statement to the court of impeachment. Five of the most widely known lawyers in the east—former Secretary of State Philander C. Knox, former Judge D-Cady Herrick, former State Senator Harvey D. Hlinman of Binghamton, N. X., and former Judge Irving G. Vann of the court of appeals and former State Senator James J. Gay Gordon of Philadelphia—are attorneys for Sulzer. Besides these noted counsel Mr. Sulzer will have among his advisers former Judge Arnold and Louis Marshall. To match the legal talent retained by Sulzer the board of managers appointed by the assembly has employed as counsel John B. Stanchfield, Edgar T. Brackett, William Travers Jerome and Eugene Lamb Richards. In addition to this strong array of talent Acting Governor Glynn is also to be advised by ex-Judge Edwin Countryman and P. C. Dugan. SHIRKING HORSE CURED. Rolled Down a Bank and Then Decided She Was Not Sick. St. Louis--Nellie, a delivery horse of Clayton, either is an expert dissembler or her ailments are such that they battle veterinary surgeons. After a vacation of three weeks she pulled the light delivery wagon willingly until she was about to be taken over the route again in the evening, when she lay down on the ground and groaned. Dr. C. A. Newton, a veterinary, worked with the animal two hours, took her temperature and looked for symptoms of various ailments, but found none. He declared Nellie was "stalling," but she refused to get up. Several spectators then helped roll the horse down a small enchantment. This aroused Nellie's anger, and she jumped up and kicked her heels about the barn lot. Her owner, William Schoepker, a grocer, announced that Nellie's vacation will not be extended. Nellie was once a polo pony. One of her specialties has been to pretend to be lame in order to get a holiday or exoiled vacation. Sometimes the limp was in the left hind foot, and occasionally. It shifted to the right hind foot. On each occasion a veterinary said the animal was in good health. POISON FAILS TO KILL Woman Takes Dose Which Would Kill a Hundred Persons. St. Louis.--Edward Fisher, a photographer, and Mrs. Carrie DuBols, who weighs 300 pounds, both bichloride of mercury patients, were treated successfully by a method that St. Louis physicians now believe is an absolute cure for mercurial poisoning. The two, who are neighbors, but have never met, have expressed mutual interest in one another's condition. Mrs. DuBols said that it was the reading of Mr. Fisher's condition in the newspapers that prompted her to swallow more than 110 grains of the poison. This is an amount, physicians say, sufficient to kill more than 100 men, but Dr. Maurice Thompson and Dr. Walter Harrall predict that she will recover, after the application of hot water bottles and electric globes and the injection of saline solution or sodium carbonate every three hours. MORE FLYING FOR ME, SAYS REID NO Atlantic City, N. J.—Viewing the total wreck of his $6,000 hydroaeroplane as it lay upon the beach at the Inlet, Marshall Erie Field, well known aviator, who for two years has furnished thrills at shore resorts and elsewhere, said. "I am through with flying for good. I'll consider myself lucky in this tumble and call it square. If there is anything exciting in the game that I have not tried out in the two years of my career as an aviator I shall leave it for some one else to tackle. For me it is no more playing the bird man. I do not exactly regret having been in the business, for I have made $12,000. "My mother has urged me time and again to stop tying. I think she knows better than I do myself that the money is not worth it. My other relatives have joined in pleading with me also. I guess I'll beed this call now. "One thing I am thankful for, and this is that no human life has been laid as a sacrifice to my experiments in aviation. It was a close call, they tell me, but here I am, and mighty lucky, I think, to be here. Anyway, I'll take the tumble as a friendly hint to seek some other means of livelihood. So it's me for the dry and solid land hereafter." Rold was reminded of his mother's desire that he should quit aviation by the loss of a ring that his mother gave him. KILLED 745,634 RATS. Work Done by London Health Officers to Guard Against Plague. London.-In the annual report just issued of Dr. Herbert Williams, medical officer of health for the port of London, Dr. Williams says that 745-634 rats were destroyed in the port of London from February, 1901, to January, 1912. During 1912 1,310 rats were examined, but only thirteen were found to be affected with plague. Plague from rats is caught through the rat flea, which, after having lived on an infected rat, makes its way to a man and bites him, thus inoculating him with plague. MARRIES HIS ACCUSER; Weds Woman Who Says He Stole $2,000 From Her. Butte. Mont.-William F. Morrison, accused by Mrs. Louise Tam, a widow, of having stolen $2,000 from her, together with some diamonds, married the complaining witness after he had been brought back from Tampa, Fla., by the officers. This action took the prosecuting staff off its feet, and the indignation of the officers knew no bounds. For months they have been tracking Morrison. Under the Montana statutes a wife cannot appear against her husband and there is nothing left but to dismiss the case. GOETHALS AT 1915 FAIR. Canal Builder Will Head Engineering Congress at Exposition. San Francisco. Colonel George W. Goethals, U. S. N., whose engineering genius is bringing the Panama canal into being, is to take part in the Panama-Pacific International exposition, which is to be held in this city in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the great project. Colonel Goethals, who is chairman of the Isthmus canal commission and chief engineer of the Panama canal, has accepted the honorary presidency of the international engineering congress, which will be held in connection with the exposition from Sept. 20 to 25, 1915. The congress, it is promised by its promoters, will be the most notable in the history of engineering. The exposition officials have communicated with some 80,000 engineers in all parts of the world with a view of having them visit San Francisco in 1915. The congress will be conducted under the combined auspices of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. PIGEON FLIES 1,000 MILES. Record Time of 26 Hours and 30 Minutes Established. Pittsburgh, Pa.—One thousand miles, air line distance, between Abilene, Tex., and Fort Wayne, Ind., in 20 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds actual flying time was the remarkable flight of a honing pigeon belonging to O. Anderson of Fort Wayne. The records, sent to President Carney of the American Racing Pigeon union in this city for verification, were officially announced. Forty-seven birds contested in the race from the Texas city, and the record made by Mr. Anderson's bird is a world's mark. The second bird to arrive in Fort Wayne from Abilene belonged to J. Behillug. It had been on the road 36 hours, 51 minutes and 47 seconds actual flying time. The speed of Mr. Anderson's bird averaged more than thirty-eight miles an hour. Eleven Years to Determine Outcome of New Experiment. Philadelphia.—A Philadelphia college will this fall give the students the first chance that has ever been offered by an educational institution in America for instruction that will tend to make girls physically perfect above everything else. According to the dean of the college, it will take eleven years to ascertain whether the plan is going to prove a success. They will take twenty young girls as nearly perfection physically as they can get and ranging between ten and twelve years of age and train them for seven years in elementary subjects and bring them up as women should be educated. The girls will be trained in the open all the time, they will have all kinds of physical exercises and outdoor life, and when they leave they will have not only a perfect physical condition to aid them, but they will have learned all the rudiments of English, Latin, French and German, to solve simple and original algebraic problems, to draw, to model, to appreciate pictures, to interpret music by rhythmic movements and to express musical impressions by dancing. DEATH SENTENCE FOR DOG. Passed on it by Judge For Having Bitten Little Girl. Chicago.—A dog has been sentenced to death by Municipal Judge- David Bullivan in the South Chicago court. The animal belongs to Michael Ronaine, who was arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct on complaint of Mrs. Anna McMannon. She charged that the dog had bliten her daughter Virginia, eight years old, and that Ronaine refused to turn over the animal to the dog pound. "I'll give up the dog whenever the police demand it." Ronaine told the judge. "All right," replied the court, "the police are ordered to take the animal to the dog pound, and I sentence the dog to be shot and killed there." FINE TO GIVE OR TAKE TIPS. Waiters Urged St. Louis Council to Pass the Ordinance. St. Louis. The city council has passed a bill making it a misdemeanor to give or receive a tip in a hotel or restaurant. A fine of from $10 to $50 may be levied for each offense. Half of the fine is to be given to the police informant of violation of the anti-tipping ordinance. The measure was passed without opposition following a public hearing in which scores of waiters attributed the local hotel employees' strike to low wages resulting from the tipping practice. Accused of an Old Slaying. Tampa. Fla.—A man giving his name W. T. Blackerby is under arrest at Kissimmee. charged with the murder of his wife and four other persons in Santa Clara, Cal., seventeen years ago. THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D.

One copy per year in advance... $2.00 Six months ... 1.00 Three months ... .50 Subscription monthly ... .20 WHO DID IT? After the "For Colored" signs had been removed in the Treasury Department here there quickly began a filing of claims for the honor of having secured their removal. One New York Negro newspaper accredits to Bishop Walters the honor, although he was miles away when the first protest, and subsequent protests were filed, and was not acquainted with the fact that the signs had been placed or displaced until after they had been taken down. The Bee, although early into action against the insulting placards, claims no especial consideration, and makes no claim for the honor. The signs were taken down, and every man or woman who voiced a protest shares in the honor, and there is enough honor to go around. Whenever an attempt is made to jim-crow the race, to unjustly discriminate against the race it is the unbounded duty of every member of the race to voice a protest against it and to labor against it. and it is neither the right nor the duty of any individual, or set of individuals, to immodestly claim the honor of having estopped the jim-crowing or unjust discrimination. The Bee's columns attest to this newspaper's early and constant protest against segregation, now the rule in the government departments. The Bee recognizes the very great assistance rendered by all race journals against this segregation, and it acknowledges with praise the efforts of J. C. Napier, Ralph W. Tyler, Oswald Villard, and, conspicuously, Senator Clapp, and every other man, or woman, great or small who lent a hand or a voice against this segregation movement. It is folly to pause, even before the battle is won, to riot over the question as to whom the honor belongs. It is the surest sign of a narrow, selfish being this claiming of the honor. No man has the right to claim honor for doing his duty, and especially when the rights of his race are at stake. The signs are down, but the segregation order is still in force. It would be far better, far better evidence of real race interest, did we join in dislodging this segregation movement completely than to, when the battle has but begun, foolishly quibble over to whom belongs the honor. The modest man or woman who contributed but a mite against segregation shares in whatever honor or may come. The Bee sincerely hopes that this immodest, this disgusting claiming of the honor will cease. We repeat the signs are down, but the segregation order is still in full force and effect. When segregation has been estopped, and rank, unjust discrimination has been eliminated it may then be proper to say "we did it," but under no circumstance quibble over "who did it." Bishop Walters' pre-election activities assisted to make this segregation possible. If he joins in the protest against it, even though at the eleventh hour, and does it sincerely, we have a right to, and ought to, number him with the ten millions who stand, unequivocally, against segregation, and the loyal white friends like Senator Clapp and Oswald Villard, who have and are fighting it. For the sake of the race, put a soft pedal on this clamoring for especial honor for a simple and bonded duty done, and as a matter of fact nothing has been done. Colored employees are forced to use the "jim-crow" toilets, although the signs are down. CROWING TOO SOON. Negro Democratic politicians and a few other agitators have been crowing too early. Bishop Alexander Walters, the deceived Democratic Moses of Negro Democracy, after a sham interview with the Secretary of the Treasury and a long distance interview with resident Wilson concerning the "Jim Crow" signs that were suspended over the toilets in the Treasury Department, came out and declared that he was responsible for the "Jim Crow" signs being taken down. O! what hog wash. How easily a person can be deceived and how easily some people become satisfied. A colored man who has been bossed all of his life by white people and at the same time holds an inferior and humiliating position loses his manhood when he approaches people far above himself. The leadership of this new Negro Democracy is weak. It becomes weaker and weaker every day. Our friend Charlie Barnes would make a better leader of colored Democracy than many who now assume that leadership. Ralph Langston, who is a polished gentleman, and has more sense in five seconds than many of those who today aspire to Negro Democratic leadership. The present-day Negro Democracy, with but a few exceptions, would sell the most valuable asset in its possession for an office. Caged monkeys have more sense than the present-day colored Democracy. This is the most senseless lot of mutton heads that ever disgraced civilization. When President Wilson ran the bluff game in naming Patterson, a few colored Democrats concluded that Mr. Wilson and his Democracy were gods. Patterson's nomination was merely a sham. Babboons in the jungles of Africa have more sense than nineteenth of all the colored Democrats in the world. An African babboon is more capable of discerning right from wrong than the most intelligent colored Democrat in the United States. A GOOD RUN. Information reaches The Bee that Attorney A. W. Scott deserves great credit for the fight he made for the position of Exalted Ruler of the Elks. Mr. Scott had to run up against a set of keen politicians, and then he fought the lion in his den. Mr. Nutter was at his own home, so to speak. He had the counsel and support of the two strongest men in Jersey, who very seldom lose a fight, and who never fail to spend their money when they want to win. While Attorney Scott was strong, and while The Bee was anxious to see him win, no better man could have been selected than Mr. Nutter. If Attorney Scott lives he will be the successor of Mr. Nutter. Mr. Scott's legal report, alone, almost captured the convention, and had the election been held the day he finished his report no power could have defeated him. It was an able and masterly document which electrifie the entire body of Elks. The Bee congratulates its fellow The Bee congratulates its fellow townsman. SHAM MINISTRY There are quite a number of ministers in this city who deserve the confidence and respect of the people, and there are a few others, very few, who would make better headway upon some farm than they would in the pulpit. The sham who attacked the colored members of the bar some time ago would do better business in a dry goods store from whence he came, than he would in the pulpit. Just how some people get it into their heads that they can preach has always been a mystery to The Bee. Get rid of the sham ministry. COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. The so-called Fair Play Association should give itself a rest. The citizens of Washington are satisfied with Commissioner Newman. He is a gentleman and undoubtedly will make a good Commissioner. Vale, R. Wordy. We reaffirm that The Bee is not published in the interest of cliques or clans, but in the interest of the race. It qwes allegiance to none but the race. It stands for race progress. It has survived all rivals, and is stronger today than ever before. Now is the time to subscribe. If Negro business men would advertise in Negro newspapers they would increase their business, and assist the strongest agency for their upbuilding. It takes money to buy printer's ink and white paper and pay the printing bills. The Negro newspapers, like the white newspapers, can't be conducted on wind. Demanding strong, verile newsy newspapers, but withholding your financial support is useless. Help us and we will help you. The Medical Department of Howard University will be investigated. There is nepotism and favoritism existing there. CALL OF THE SIXTH ANNUAL MEETING N, I, P, I, Hillburn, N. Y., August 20. Dear Conrades: There has never been a time since the issuance of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation when the independent thinkers and voters among Negro-Americans needed to get together for concerted effort in behalf of the race than now. Our civil and social rights were never more imperiled than they are today. Unless the impending crisis in the forces of evils that are threatening our rights as American citizens are met by a strong, united and determined resentment on our part we shall surely be doomed to be the greatest mass of political serfs and social outcasts that ever cursed a civilized nation. Call to Action Through Leagte. No political organization among us is in a better position to combat these great forces of evil as is the National Independent Political League. And the sooner we get together and devise ways and means for a campaign in defense of our oppressed people the better will it be for us and for the entire country. Realizing the urgency and seriousness of the present alarming conditions now confronting us, I, as president of said National Independent Political League, and in accordance with advice and instructions received from leading officials in our League, do hereby announce that the Sixth Annual Convention of our League is called to meet in the city of Boston, Mass., on the 15th, 16th and 17th of September, 1913. .The Invitation—Read It, All You Colored Americans. All members of the Executive Committee, the presidents and other officials of the local leagues in the various States and Territories are hereby requested and urged to call meetings of their respective leagues and select delegates to attend the annual meeting. And all officers and members of committee of the National League and men and women who give their political support to men and measures rather than to any particular political party, are earnestly invited to attend said Sixth Annual Convention of our National League. The Call to Come Together—Comprise Never. Dear Fellow Comrades: In view of the evident policy of the present National Administration in segregating the Colored employees in the departments at Washington, and the drawing of humiliating caste lines more generally throughout the entire country, let us come together, quit ourselves like men, and promptly, wisely and with invincible courage let us protest and fight against this revival of vile injustice. Let us come together with the firm resolve to compromise no principle, to minimize no form of injustice, and to give no uncertain sound in our earnest appeal for fair play. Let us unite in a fight to the finish against any and every hand, even though it be the hand of our National government, that dares to bar to the black "the door of hope." Bury Petty Differences. And, burying our own jetty differences, let all Negro-Americans everywhere, who value freedom and love their race and country, join in this great struggle for "Equal Rights and Opportunities for All American Citizens." Meet us meet the trying issue with such a manly and determined resentment as cannot fail to arouse the deadened conscience of this great nation and as will gain for us the respect of civilized people everywhere. Yours in the fight to the finish for freedom. BRYON GUNNER. President. Capt. Davis Entertained. An informal reception was given Cantain Clarence C. Davis on August 23 by his fellow-carriers of Station G at the home of Mr. J. C. Edwards. Several good speeches congratulating Captain Davis upon his recent promotion to a captaincy in the District National Guards were rendered by Thomas Clifford, Q. C. Edwards, Everett V. Brooks and others: the captain responded with an interesting history of the District National Guard.

Thompson's. 1337 Wallach Place, Northwest. She will be here only ten days. Public Men And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I ran into Bishop Walters last week when he was over to Washington. The Bishop looks a little worse for wear. The way the Darktown Democracy is pitching into him, saying he sold them out, fooled them, dragged them into an ambush, as it were, is telling on the Bishop's nerves. He don't look near as dapper as he used to was, and he ain't talking so loud about how he's going to dictate appointments. The Southern brigadiers just took the dictating all out of his hands, and marooned the Darktown Democracy on a deserted island. I never was strong in my estimate of the Bishop to dictate appointments. I sort of regarded him as a four-flusher. The Bishop has a great voice, one of those voices what splits your ears, gives you a headache and an unsatisfied feeling, but outside of that and a few other things. I guess he's all right. When a bishop gets to messing up with politics, handling (campaign funds, and talking loud about what he's going to do, individually and collectively. I always think of what old Rampola said once when a country priest went to him and told him what he was going to do. Old Rampola just cocked his ecclesiastical headcar on one side of his Italian think tank and remarked, sort of soto like: "You better get your hearings before you dispossess the earth." Now, Bishop blew into Washington: at inauguration time, had a personally inspired and personally conducted banquet in his honor, at which all the hungry anaclithe Democracy congregated, at $1.50 per throw, and made 'em all feel good by telling the Republican office-holders to pack their trunks and get a move on themselves' cause he had a lot of satilites he was going to place in their jobs. Then he made up a little list, which contained Tom, Dick and Harry for every place, filed it with Woody, and hired himself to New York all wrapped up in confidence. Woody, just to show him that pre-election promises止 no ice after election, handed the list out to the newspapers with a sort of knowing wink, and an expression of confidence which illumined one with the thought, "A fool is born every second." Then Woody proceeded to fill the offices heretofore held by chocolate drops with gay, livious white southerners. When Bishop saw everything was hopeless gone, he took a tourist coach for California to wait until the storm had blown over. He ventured back last week, dropped in at the White House, saw Tumely-tum and, just to make good, cased over a soft, over-due protest against segregation. After this he went out, got his loud strident voice back again, and promulgated the announcement that he had headed off segregation. Well, he didn't do a frazzling thing. Segregation is still rampant, and they just fooled the long-legged, white-haired, strident-voiced Bishop once more. If I had a load of gold bricks to sell I'd drive right straight to Bishop's house and unload and get the cash. Petroleum B. Marshall, who had nearly five thousand letters filed for the position of Minister of Haiti and the Bishop's promise of endorsement, when he saw that Missourian, with a lily-white complexion, land the job, mused to himself: "Who in the genesis of things is Bishop Walters anyhow, and what ice does he cut in August?" Old Cosey, over in the New Jersey marshes, who had saved up enough to buy a new suit of clothes to put on when he would take Link Johnson's place, has finished his biography of the Bishop, and it just contains one line—"He ain't nuthin'" Peter Smith, whose precarious occupation consists of cutting soft, shell corns, and festering bunions, and trimming toenails, was bettin' four to one he would be Assistant Register of the Treasury just because the Bishop said so. All efforts to locate Peter has been unavailing for several weeks, and the supposition is he took a bichloride of mercury tablet intentionally by mistake for a peppermint lozenger. But before he did it, he wrote a line for the Bishop's toonstone what reads: "Never again." I ain't saying that any of the money Bishop handled clung to his digits, and I ain't saying that he handled money for campaign expenses; but I'm going to cautiously remark that when an anthracite minister does muss his ministerial robes up in politics and agrees to handle a little money for his lieutenants sometimes some of that money just naturally sticks to his digits, and sometimes the campaign managers, noching through the expense accounts discover it, they just balance the account or charge it up to profit and loss, and sort of soto voice, say to the cecleiasi, "Run along now and sell your papers, 'cause we are through with you." Charlie Barnes, the hero and survivor of a sanguinary battle with little four-eyed Offie, used to meet Bishop at the train, carry his luggage, spread the wrinkles out of his pajamas, and rise up every five seconds and say, "There ain't nobody fittin' to fasten his golf shoes." Now, if you ask Barnes something about Bishop Walters he mutters a lot of unintelligent stuff about that would make a St. Elizabeth inmate's talk sound like Aggasize's discourse on the boll weevil. When Bishop use to come to town there use to be a carload of hopefuls, satilites, and feverish hungry sycophants what met him in the train shed down at the station. When he blew in here last week the only person to meet him was the car man with a charge of seventy-five cents for meeting him. Bishop so much reminds me of that song, "The King of France Marched up the Hill and Then Down Again." And whenever some one calls his name I'm so reminded of that saying, "Better he had died when young." Now, Rev. Walldron, who too played the game just opposite to Hoyle's instructions, when he found out the cake was all doe, and that the hide had gone with the hare, just issued a manifesto saying he was going to hug his church and his religion, if any was left with him, the rest of his mortal days, and forget that he ever tried to be a target for sharpshooters and roving hunters. It would have been a good thing if Bishop Walters had hit the same trail. The Bishop may come around all right, but I'm telling you he will never look the same again. Woody hung "fool" signs all over him, and the chocolate Democracy is now putting the finishing touches on by hanging "down and out" signs all over his frame. \* \* I ran into Rev. Corrothers not long ago, and heard a friend ask him what was his personal opinion of the Bishop privately expressed. Rev. Corrothers removed his sugar-loaf derby from his tarbloid brow, wiped the oozing perspiration from his brain cup, and after he tried to smooth out those hair horns upon which his hat rests, said something we couldn't understand, but what we took to be an effulgent epitaph for the Bishop's grave mark. You know they say if it hadn't been for his Excellency, the Right Honourable Bishop Strident Voice, Corrothers would now be safely enclosed in one of those soft herds of a bishop. He followed Bishop, sung his praises, spent his money to advance his interests, played both ends against the middle for the Bishop, and flocked first with the Democrats, then with the Bull Moosers, and finally with the Taftites just to help the Bishop along, but when he got into a pocket and saw all the wolfs what infest the Russian snow plains coming after him, they say the Bishop tried to English him off to Philadelphia. But Rev. Corrothers just naturally wouldn't go. Since then he ain't writing no lyrics praising Alexander Walters, and he ain't inviting him to eat the white meat of a spring chicken at his house. And this all causes me to rise up and remark that when an anthracite minister, be he bishop or just a plain preacher, gets mussed up in politics look out for a stench. IN THE POLITICAL ARENA. Report Bishop Walters Unwittingly Endorsed Segregation—Southern Senators Opposed Sending White Man to Haiti—Wm. F. Powell Sends Wilson a Hot Letter. Bishop Walters, when he called upon Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo last week, in effect, endorsed the segregation now in force in that department. The Bishop took up with the Secretary the matter of the "Jim Crow" signs in that department which especially called attention to certain toilet rooms in the cellar were reserved for the exclusive use of Negroes. He, the Bishop, urged that the signs should be removed; that they were an insult to the race, etc. The Secretary advised the Bishop that he would not intentionally insult any race or class of citizens, and asked the Bishop if the removal of the signs alone would satisfy the Bishop and the men of his race. The Bishop responded that the removal of the signs would be satisfactory, he, the Bishop, however, knowing that the segregation would be continued; that the cellar toilet rooms would remain exclusive for the Negro employees. It is a fact that the signs had been removed before the Bishop called, due to the protest of many Negroes and the white and Negro press of the country, and the attitude of several Republican Congressmen. The Bishop accepted the removal of the signs and agreed to the continuance of the segregation without signs. The above facts are true as reported, and the Bishop cannot successfully deny them. He cannot truthfully deny that he agreed to the removal of the signs, which, by the way, had already been removed, but accepted the continuation of the segregation order. Bishop Walters, by this acquiescence goes on record as approving of segregation. There were witnesses to the Bishop's interview with Secretary McAdoo, and doubtless these witnesses will, if called upon, make aid/davit to the truth of these statements herein. President Wilson broke his precedent when he appointed Dr. Buckner Minister 10 Liberia. It is reported that the appointment was offered several white men, but all refused, and the President could do nothing more than give it to a Negro. It develops that not even the Rebel Brigadiers were in favor of appointing a white man as Minister to Haiti, Senator Clark, of Arkansas, and Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, with others in the house, opposed the appointment of a white man opposed it vigorously, too, claiming that it was a Negro country; that the appointment belonged to a Negro by tradition and right. President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan, however, insisted on sending a white man. Their excuse was that there would be some important and delicate matters which would have to be adjusted, and this demanded the sending of a white man. This important and delicate business is assumed, to be the receiving of many Southerners, who would stop off at Port-au-Prince en route to Panama when the big canal is opened. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan did not want the feelings of their southern friends hurt by having to be received and entertained by a black man. However, President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are the only two who insisted upon the appointment of a white man. When Bishop Walters took the matter of the appointment of a white man to Haiti, the administration "conned" him with the statement that it was but temporary; that after the white appointee had drawn a few months of that $10,000 salary he would relinquish in favor of a colored man. Gullible as Bishop Walters usually is when a white man is doing the talking, the Bishop swallowed all this, hook, line and sinker, and went off, enthused, and told his camp-followers that it would be but a short time until a colored man would be sent to Haiti. No one ever heard of a poor white man giving up a ten-thousand-dollar job, and no one ever heard of Democrats requesting that a white man move out of a ten-thousand-dollar job to satisfy the Negroes. If there are any Negroes still hopeful of securing the appointment to Haiti, from the best information at hand, it is well to advise them to forget the Haitian post as a closed incident. **** Wm. F. Powell, former Minister to Haiti under a Republican administration, but who last fall went off after strange gods and supported Wilson, is out in an open letter to the President attacking his refusal to appoint Negroes to office and his segregation propaganda. After reciting the facts and conditions, he and other Negroes presented to Wilson before his nomination and election Mr. Powell quotes President Wilson as having said the following to him: "If I should become the nominee of the Democratic party and I am elected to the office of President, while I may be unable to correct many of the conditions, of your people in this country, especially in the South, that you complain of, I will use my best efforts to ameliorate such conditions and endeavor to secure a change that would be for the benefit of your people." You further stated to me that all the rights granted to my race under the Constitution and amendments would be rigidly enforced by yourself; that you desired the colored men of this country to know and to feel that you were, and would be, their friends; as to the public offices to be: filled, should you be elected, it might be impossible, you stated, for you to appoint colored men to some now held by them; that when this could not be done, that there would be others that you would appoint them to, which would be equally as lucrative and as honorable as those now held by them. You further stated you could not place your views or expressions in writing, as it might be used by your political opponents to your detriment before the convention, then soon to meet, but I could rest assured that, if elected, such would be your course, and that I was at perfect liberty to make known your attitude as to your feelings toward the colored voters of this State and county. Acting upon these statements made by you, organizations of colored men were established in, every Northern and Western State. This fact may not be known to you, but it is well known to those who had charge of your campaign. Many of those who entered this field advocating your election refused to accept any compensation for their services, paying their traveling expenses, and in some cases contributing toward your campaign fund. Have you, sir, attempted in the slightest way to fulfill any of the pledges that you have made? Unfortunately, up to this date those who have loyally rallied to your standard and supported you have been cast aside. They have asked of you bread; you have handed them a stone instead. The happy relations that have existed between the clerks of the several departments for these many years you and some of the members of your Cabinet have endeavored to sunder in the effort made to segregate them to separate rooms. This idea would have been carried to the extreme if it had not been for the attitude of the honorable Senator from Minnesota, Mr. Clapp, in introducing a resolution in the Senate inquiring as to the reason why such rules had been established. IN CANADA. Attorney Thomas L. Jones the Center of Attraction—Makes a Speech and Electrifies His Hearers. Attorney Thomas L. Jones, accompanied by a large delegation from Niagara Falls, arrived here yesterday by way of Lake Ontario. Lawyer Jones is quartered at the beautiful cottage, No. 104 University Avenue, as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, one of the wealthiest and most aristocratic Canadians in this section of Canada. The lawyer appears very unassuming, and carrying a ministerial air, has made a very great impression on the citizens in general. Lawyer Jones spoke at two churches last Sunday, one in the afternoon at a Methodist Church, and at night in the Baptist Church of the city. His speech at both places were eloquent, and bristled with many good and wholesome words of advice; but his harrowing description of the outrages perpetrated against colored citizens in mob violence and race hatred as reflected in the passing of jim crow laws and other outrageous discriminations stirred his hearers almost into a frenzy. The lawyer leaves, Toronto tomorrow for Montreal, Canada, where he will speak Wednesday evening, according to his program, returning to the United States about September 15. Meals at all Hours.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY ON CROSSING THE RED SEA. 'Exodus 14:19-31—Aug. 17. "Before they call, I will answer."—Isaiah 65:24. THE Bible story of Israel's miraculous crossing of the Red Sea has long been questioned by the large number ascribed to Israel—600,000 men, implying a total of 2,000,000 or more. However, the Bible finally is triumphing. Mistranslations and failures properly to interpret figures of speech were the basis of our misunderstandings. Professor Flinders Petrie calls attention to the fact that the Hebrew word alaf is used in the Scriptures sometimes to mean a thousand and at other times to signify group, families, or tents, very much as we use the word regiment to signify a group of a thou- sand men, yet often far less in number, especially after a battle. Thus understood, the record, "Judah 74,600," would read. Judah, seventy-four families, or tents, with six hundred men in all; "so they set forward, every one after ten far less in number, especially after a battle. Thus understood, the record, "Judah 74,600." would read, Judah, seventy-four families, or tents, with six hundred men in all; "so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers."—Numbers 2:34. Thus reckoned, the entire host of Israel might be-estimated at about 30,000. Even this was a goodly host to be the descendants of Jacob in but little more than two centuries. That the Israelites were very prolific was evidenced by the Egyptian decree which sought to destroy their children, fearful that eventually they would outnumber the Egyptians. Necessity of the Miracles. A miracle is not necessarily a violation of a law of Nature. An unusual occurrence, indicating an interposition of Divine Power in human affairs, would be a miracle, even though it conformed to natural laws. God rarely works miracles except in necessity. Three roads led out of Egypt in the direction of Palestine; but as a military wall extended from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea to protect against invading armies, these roads had access into Egypt only through strong iron gates. One of these roads led through the country of the Phillistines, to pass through which so large a body of people would have been prohibited. The second road led through a sanay desert, furnishing neither provender nor water. The third road was the one which the Israelites took, leading through the wild mountain regions of Sinai, where they found pasturage. Several days elapsed before the Israelites reached the Red Sea. Meantime, Pharaoh perceived that the Israelites had wandered about as though undecided which road to take, and concluded that it would be easy to bring them back. The gates of the wall were closed, and several hundred charlots and footmen sent to pursue. Meantime, the Israelites had passed through two mountain ranges, up against the northern arm of the Red Sea—the Gulf of Suez. Apparently they had gone into a pen, from which there was no escape. Divine providence arranged that a heavy pillar of cloud, or fog, hovered over the Egyptian camp, while there was a bright light in the Israelites' camp. Thus the Egyptians were delayed, and the Israelites moved on until they came to the Sea and beheld that they were hemmed in. Then they cried to the Lord and to Moses, requesting to be permitted to return to Egyptian bondage. But the word of the Lord through Moses was that soon they would see Jehovah God bring deliverance. Meantime, the north wind began to blow, and gradually the waters receded southward, uncovering a ledge and sand bar, upon which the Israelites crossed to the other side. The befogged Egyptians followed, possibly not realizing that they were on land usually covered by water. As they progressed into the moist sand, the Egyptian chariot wheels be ed into the moist charlot wheels be came clogged. their horses went more slowly, then balked, wheels broke; etc., until the Egyptians concluded that in the figurative language of that time, God had looked upon them with an evil eye out of the cloudy pillar. Possibly ```markdown ``` there was some manifestation, such as a lightning flash. Meantime, the wind had changed to the south. Before the Egyptians could extricate themselves the water was upon them, and they soon were overwhelmed. There is nothing in this account to stagger faith. United States Government Reports show that the waters of Lake Erie have varied as much as fifteen feet at Toledo, by reason of change of wind, and without any special hurricane. What has staggered our faith in the past was the statement that the Sea constituted a wall on either side of the Israelites. But the word wall in its broadest sense signifies barricade. The United States has the Atlantic as a protective wall on one side and the Pacific on the other. If the Bible is interpreted with a little common sense, it is entirely reasonable, rich in knowledge and wisdom from on High. OFFERS BODY FOR SALE Convict Fears Family Will Claim It After Death Comes. Savannah, Ga.-Hatred of his family prompted Thomas A. 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 bidder for 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 1811 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. McCollough, 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 Ellsha 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 Marlon, rubber manufacturer and prominent yachtman. 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. 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 note worthy 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 $62,500, 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."

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 780 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 18,400 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 26,079 persons convicted in the last nine years 11,052 were between the ages of twenty-one and thirty and 8,293 were between fifteen and twenty years. Among the women two-thrids 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 3991 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?

Maryard Seminary 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. B. 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 bired 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. - Leelle 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. Court officials aided him, and the case was resumed. Turkish dignitaries comport themselves toward European representatives how otherwise than some of them formerly did. Sir Henry Layard tells an amusing encounter between Charles Allison, then chief interpreter at the British embassy, and the grand visier, to whom Sir Stratford Canning had lent him on important business. In the middle of a discussion the Turk row from his seat and said his prayers on a carpet spread by an attendant, concluding with the curse on all Christians very emphatically uttered, and going through the motion of spitting over his right and left shoulders in abhorrence. Allison was equal to the occasion. Presently he, too, left off business to pray in a corner, doing it in Turkish and invoking curses on all followers of Islam. To the scandalized Pasha' he explained that Christians also had their religious duties, and he had no doubt the formal curses of their prayers meant as little as the Mohammedan's. Rivalry In Prayer.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 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. Griever 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 hennery 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 fight 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 saye 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. PLAN TO ABOLISH CONVICT LEASING Alabama System Is Declared to Be Inhuman. Birmingham, Ala.-With the purpose of taking all of the thousands of Alabama convicts out of the mines, number mills and turpentine cannips 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.

MINNESOTA an person reform in the south, sent a message of indorsement, in which she pleaded for night schools for convicts, humane 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 a 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, lumber 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 no body 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 year after feeding, clothing and guarding the men. An average of thirty dollars a month is paid to the state. Each convict is required to do a certain task. Chicago.—Mrs. M. J. Anderson, wife of an attorney, while in the midst of an oyster, cocktail found a pearl. It was taken to a jeweler's, polished and appraised at $1,200.

The phrase "a man of straw" had its origin in England at a time when men might easily be procured to furnish evidence upon oath in almost any emergency. It appears that persons of this description were accustomed to walk openly in Westminster hall with a straw projecting from their shoes, thus signifying that they sought employment as witnesses; hence the expression. An advocate who desired a convenient witness knew by this sign where to find one, and the colloquy between the two was brief. "Don't you remember?" the advocate would ask. The party would glance at the fee and give no sign, but when the fee was increased his powers of memory increased with it, and straw shoes went into court and swore as desired. -Boston Herald.

Washington.-Whether the entrance examinations for the Naval academy are so rigid as to be virtually prohibitive is a question the navy department is to leave to the decision of a jury of 2,000 educators. It has just become known that the department, stung by repeated charges that the examinations were unfair and illogical, had determined to submit the matter to 2,000 high school principals and college professors in every part of the United States. Rear Admiral Victor Blue has already ordered printed 2,500 copies of the latest examination paper, and these will soon be sent broadcast. Accompanying each copy will be a series of queries, which when answered by the educators are calculated to settle for good the controversy over the "stiffness" of the examinations. Here are the leading questions the educators are asked to answer: "Is the examination too difficult for the ordinary high school student in his third year?" "Pick out the questions which seem improper in an examination for entrance to the Naval academy." "How long should each examination require?" Charges have been made in congress that the examination is so difficult and unusual that it serves to bar the average youth from the service. Figures have been produced for the purpose of showing that fewer than one-half of the aspirants pass it. DRIED CANTALOUPE NOW. Discovery Will Turn to Profit Millions of Wasted Small Ones. Los Angeles, Cal.—With the perfection of experiments now going on California will give to the world another insusual dried fruit—the dried cantaloupe. They will turn into profit some of the millions of small cantaloupes left in the fields every year. Thomas D. McCall of El Centro accidentally discovered the fine qualities of the dried article. McCall had dumped a great heap of cantaloupes to one side, several breaking·open. These dried and threw out such a fine aroma that McCall was attracted and tasted them. They were excellent, and now cantaloupe growers are drying all of their small melons. The dried variety is said to have a much finer flavor than the fresh fruit. BOY GYPSIES STOLE 17 YEARS AGO FOUND Knew. Only His Name Was Fred Before Identification. Watertown, N. Y.—Frederick Brosseau, twenty-four, who was kidnapped by gypsies nearly seventeen years ago, has been restored to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Brosseau of Sissonville, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., who had long mourned him as dead. On Oct. 14, 1806, young Brosseau left home to meet his father at the edge of the village. That was the last seen of the boy in Sissonville. About a week ago a young man deserted from a band of gypsies in the Canadian wilds and took refuge with the monks of Oka, whose isolated monastery is forty miles from Montreal. He could remember nothing of his history previous to becoming a member of the band, except that he had been called Fred and that his former home was in northern New York. The presence of the wanderer was reported by the monks to the Montreal police, and an aunt of the young man recognized his picture in a newspaper. The parents were notified and went to Montreal, where they positively identified Brosson by a birthmark. He is being detained by the police as a witness against some of the gypsies who are under arrest charged with kidnapping. WILSON TO TRAVEL IN FALL. Mobile and Buffalo Already Tentatively on President's Itinerary. Washington - President Wilson has accepted the invitation to attend the meeting of the southern commercial congress in Mobile, Ala., Oct. 27. If congress has not adjourned before that date the meeting will be postponed to suit the president's convenience. If business will permit President Wilson will attend the national encampment of the United Spanish War Veterans, to be held in Buffalo, Sept. 3-6. The invitation was presented by a committee consisting of Senators Fall and Hughes and Jere A. Costello, John Lyman Smith, G. E. Rausch and John W. Mitchell, past commanders of the department of the Potomac. GOLD FAMINE IN GERMANY. Shortage Brings Crisis Near and Government Departments Are Warned. London.—The shortage of gold in Germany is rapidly assuming the proportions of a crisis. The government is steadily engaged in increasing gold reserves in readiness, it is said, for possible war or an economic crisis. The imperial and Prussian administrations, and notably those of the post-office department, have been invited to retain all the gold they receive and pay out only paper money. ANOTHER TITLE FOR MAY YOHE RECONCILIATION IN SIGHT. "Honey, Ma Honey," Was Song Which Touched Her Former Husband—Fortune Has Taken Many Peculiar Turns For This Beautiful Woman. London.—Rumors that Lord Francis Hope may rewed his former wife, May Yohe, are current. Lord Hope visited the London Opera House, where Miss Yohe is appearing. The former Lady Hope was in excellent voice and sang "Honey, Ma Honey," that she often sang to her husband during their life together. Lord Francis is said to have been touched by the song. Overtures for a reconciliation, it is said, have been made through Lord Francis' brother, the Duke of Newcastle, and the duke's lawyer, Mr. Isitt, husband of Adeline Gence. Fortune has taken many turns for May Yoho. She was at the height of success when she was married to Lord Francis Hope in 1833. She was the most celebrated actress of three continents, young and beautiful. Her marriage was a turning point. In the twenty years since then she has run the gamut of misfortune. May Yoho started her career in a church choir near Philadelphia and M. MAY YOIK, WHO, IT IS SAID, MAY BE REWED TO LORD FRANCIS HOPE. MAY YOHE, WHO, IT IS SAID, MAY BE REWED TO LORD FRANCIS HOPE. soon went on the stage. She became a favorite and had many suitors. She chose Lord Francis Hope. Her wedding gift from him was the famous Hope blue diamond, taken from the head of an Indian idol and said to have brought bad luck to every one who ever wore it. May Yohe was no exception to the rule. After living with Lord Francis seven years she met Major Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of an ex-mayor of New York, and eloped with him in 1899. Lord Hope secured a divorce, and Strong and Miss Yoho were married. After a number of separations and after Strong had been forced to resign from the army, they separated permanently in 1905. In April, 1907, she was married to J Newton Brown. He did not last long. Miss Yoho went west and in 1909 was reported married to a Canadian lumberman named Murphy. A child, said to have been born from this marriage, was adopted by Edward R. Thompson, a Portland druggist. In 1910 May Yoho bought a cheap boarding house in Seattle, which she ran until she was married some months later to F. M. Reynolds, a San Francisco musician. Some time later she went back to the stage. Her voice was still good, and she obtained engagements in cheap vaudeville houses. Then she went to London. GIRL SLEEPS 150 HOURS. Doesn't Feel Any Unusual Effects 'of Her Long Nap. St. Louis,--Miss Christine Fischer, who had slept uninterruptedly for 150 hours following a tennis match, has regained consciousness at the Jewish hospital. "I was awfully tired. My work as a schoolteacher has been most wearing, and for a month I have felt as though I could sleep a million years," she said. "I went out on the hot tennis' court, and when I went to dinner I sat on the edge of the bed to rest myself. "Suddenly I felt myself going, sinking, sinking, and I must have fallen asleep then, for I can remember nothing more. I didn't feel anything unremal." N.Y. L. C. SMITH & Typewriter L. C.

Stricken When Sixteen, Woman 'Regains Sight—Sees 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. CONSCIENCE HURT; WOOD SOUGHT CELL Admitted Taking $5,175 From Express Company In St. Louis. 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 lightfighting his conscience. It was just that hour when Woods stood beneath the are-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. "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. BALL BEARING --- "Because I'm a thief." "How's that?"

Zion Church Sixth Street, between L and M Streets Northwest, is to witness possibly the greatest movement in her history. This church is possibly the best known church in Zion connection. Recent developments have made this church a subject for debate wherever Zion Church is known. It is the concensus of opinion that this church is destined to take its place among the most progressive Negro churches in the country. There is to be found in its membership many of Washington's most useful citizens. The present movement is to cover a period of three months, during which time each member of the church has been requested to solicit or contribute ten dollars. The membership has been divided into groups, classified under the title of states, and each State has been assessed $150. The first report is to be made on the first Sunday in October. Commencing Sunday morning, September 7, the pastor, S. L. Corrothers, will deliver the first of a chain of special sermons on the subject, "Is There Such a Thing As Divine Help for the Present Life?" To all of these services the public is cordially invited. In the next issue of The Bee an article will appear from the pen of Dr. Corrothers in defense of the course of Bishop Walters under the present race crisis. many mountains which long enjoyed a reputation of being absolutely unimbable are now considered as almost ordinary excursions. The Matterhorn for many years repulsed men who were among the foremost mountaineers of the day. Professor Tyndall and Edward Whymper were followed on more than a dozen occasions But on July 15, 1805, with Lord Francis Douglas, Hudson and Hadow, Mr Whymper eventually reached the summit, and it was in descending that the fatal slip occurred which cost the lives of his three English companions as well as of Michel Croz, one of the most competent of Swiss guides. Nowadays the peak is constantly ascended (with the help of guides) by tourists who have no pretensions to be mountaineers at all—Dundee Advertiser. Queorest Town In England. The most curious town in England is Northwich. There is not a straight street nor, in fact, a straight house in the place. Every part of it has the appearance of an earthquake. Northwich is the center of the salt industry in Cheshire, England. On nearly all sides of the town are big salt works, with their engines pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of brine every week. At a depth of some 200 or 300 feet are immense subterranean lakes of brine, and as the contents of these are pumped and pumped away the upper crust of earth is correspondingly weakened, and the result is an occasion al subsidence. These subsidence have a "pulling" effect on the nearest buildings, and they are drawn all ways and give the town an extremely disliked appearance. On Thursday, August 28, the annual picnic of the First Baptist Sunday School took place in a grove near Five Oaks, Va. This was one of the most delightful occasions of the season. Supt. W. H. Neal, with his fine corps of teachers, led a large gathering of parents, friends and pupils of his school early in the forenoon from the church to the picnic grounds a mile and a half away. The teacher of the advanced class, Mr. Wm. Carter, with his working committee, of which Master Arthur Thomas was the chairman, worked hard for success. The committee of ladies who had charge of the refreshments, among whom may be named Messdames Idella West, Rosa Dean and Bertha Payne; Mrs. Wm. Carter, Mrs. J. Henderson and others, most tastefully arranged the tables and served everybody in the highest satisfactory way. And the young folks—how they did enjoy this happy opportunity! Racing, swinging, ball playing and whatever amusement these young people, full of life and fun, could think of became the order of the day. There were refreshments in abundance and all were given good service. The day closed without a single act to mar the good spirit of the occasion. The Young People's W. W. Society of Union Baptist Church, though having a slight attendance last Sunday, held an interesting meeting. Mrs. Amanda Spain, of West Falls Church, was on hand promptly to lead the topic on "Missions," and did so with credit. This being the 5th Sunday of the month there was in consequence a short meeting. Mrs. Minnie Brown and little daughter, of Washington, D. C., was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Monroe. Miss Belle Woodard, of Washington, D. C., was a Sunday guest of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miner. Misses Minnie Walker and Sadie Williams are each visiting their parents here for a few days. Mr. Arthur Brent, of the Post Office Department in Washington, was a Sunday visitor to friends and home folks. Misses Willie Boyd and Augustus Boone, of Washington, D. C., spent Sunday with their friend, Mr. Andrew Miner, Jr. Mr. Lifus Jackson, Jr., and Miss Florence Carter were quietly married in Washington, D. C., at the home of Rev. Jas, Matthews, pastor of First Baptist Church here, on Sunday, August 30. We wish them successful sailing o'er the sea of matrimony.

This great invention is scientifically manufactured of highly magnified steel, and never fail to cleanse the scalp of all unnatural matter and impurities. The use of the comb, besides ridding the scalp of dandruff and dirt, destroys the germs that cause all the trouble. It promotes the circulation of blood on the scalp.

A FREE OFFER In a Great Effort to Raise a Fund to pay off Debt on the Douglass Home. Generous Friend Offers New York Property to Successful Contestant. The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association has inaugurated a movement to raise sufficient funds to pay off the mortgage on the home and provide funds to put the home on the late, and illustrious Douglass in excellent shape. The residence on Cedar Hill at Washougal, on the property of the bookstores, belonging to Mr. Douglass, and with its fifteen acres of land within ten minutes ride on street cars to the White House, was bequeathed to the race to be maintained forever as a memorial and as a retreat where all might go, without outcharge, and enjoy the freedom of that great apostle of freedom. A mortgage hangs over the home, which the trustees for years have been trying to pay off. For lack of funds, the beautiful, historical old home is rapidly falling into decay. It would be a lasting disgrace were this home to the home on the late, and illustrious valuable furniture, books, papers, works of art and curios collected by Mr. Douglass to become lost through decay because the race he labored so hard to make free lacked sufficient respect and reverence for his memory to pay off the debt on the home. We will attention to the advertisement, appearing in another part of this newspaper offering two New York building lots absolutely free to the two persons sending in the largest number of coupons. We urge men and women, boys and girls to enter this contest and assist to raise the access to the house of our Great Douglass Start in启蒙, and begin collecting coupons, forwarding them to this newspaper each week, accompanied by five cents for each coupon sent in. Here is an opportunity to secure a valuable lot, which may be worth several thousand dollars to you in a short time, for your new house, at the same time you will help raise the fund required to preserve the home of that illustrious Negro, Frederick Douglass. son, Mr. Urick du Vivien, in company with Dr. H.

The State teachers are in session at their annual institute for teachers. Many of Dr. Moten's girls turned out to hear her make a splendid talk. The girls at Mt.
