IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE CONGRESSIONAL JOB BABY Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's WASHINGTON GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF COL- ORED TEACHERS. Best in Years—School Officials Make Inspiring Speeches—The Keynote of the Occasion Was Loyalty and Respect for Authority. Last Saturday, September 27, witnessed what in the opinions of many, was the most impressive and satisfactory meeting ever held of the colored school teachers and officials. In the first place, the spirit of concord and unity was exemplified well by the fact that it was the first meeting of its kind held within the last five years at which all the colored members of the Board of Education were present. The second reason why the meeting was a success was the fact it differed from past general assemblages, held at the beginning of school, by being called one week later than usual. This meant that the teachers were able to give their undivided attention to the speakers and did not have their mnids upon the plan of organization which heretofore had been the important feature of the first general assembly. They were there to receive inspiration, new thought, and increased enthusiasm. The speakers of the occasion were: Captain James F. Oyster, ex-president of the Board of Education; Mrs. C. W. Harris; Mr. Henry P. Blair, president of the Board of Education; Dr. Creed W. Childs; Dr. C. H. Marshall; Dr. W. M. Davidson, superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent. The speakers were all inspiring and to the point. The keynote of the occasion was loyalty, respect for authority, and the sacrifice of petty concerns for the greater good. Mr. Bruce eloquently impressed the teachers with many new thoughts along the line of pedagogy and education in general. He showed by his many suggestions that he was keeping pace with modern educational practices throughout the world. This fact plainly indicated that he merited the praise given him by Captain Oyster, in these words: "Mr. Bruce is one of the few colored men in this country who is able to serve his people in the capacity he is now doing." Several of the subjects he spoke on might well be given here: Utilize fully the physical and social environment in the teaching of our children; the teacher should be a student herself to have an understanding sympathy with the learning mind; the cultivation of closer relations with Howard University. Mr. Bruce referred to a letter from the president of Howard University in which Mr. Newman states that graduates of Normal School No. 2 would be given increased credits towards collegiate degrees and would recognize the Normal School in accordance with the work done. Next Mr. Bruce spoke of the subordination of petty concerns for the greater good. He said "the schools belong to the children and not to the teachers." These and many other vital topics were discussed by Mr. Bruce. Mr. Bruce, acting as presiding officer, then introduced the following eakers in order: Mrs. Harris spoke of the necessity of right living on the part of the teachers. She said: "In order to teach the children the qualities of right living we must exemplify those virtues ourselves. Personality is one of the greatest things in the profession of teaching. Through the medium of personality the spiritual nature is developed. In order that our personalities might be all that they ought to be, we ourselves must be good, pure, true and noble through and through." Captain Oyster, ex-president of the Board of Education, and so highly thought of by all the colored teaching force, was greeted with enthusiasm. He expressed his appreciation and thanks for the invitation to be present and also his feeling of kind regard and the fact that he is still their friend and servant when needed. Mr. Blair, president of the Board of Education, spoke briefly, but left a few good thoughts. "Opportunity" was his main subject "Washington, D. C., offered the greatest opportunity," he said, "to the colored people in the country. Congress makes no difference in its appropriations for white and colored schools. Of no other city in the country is this true. Therefore, with greater opportunity comes greater responsibility." Dr. Childs, as usual, waxed cloquent. His speech was certainly inspiring. He touched upon several subjects, but in the main he spoke of the necessity of respect for authority, and loyalty towards those in power. He said: "Set an example for the children over whom you exert authority by respecting authority yourselves. I practice this myself. I may disagree sometimes, but yet I try to make myself to finally come to see it as the higher official sees it. Let the teachers respect the authority of the principals, the principals of the supervisors, the supervisors that of the assistant superintendent and on up the line. Under these conditions we will then have a school system to excel any in the country." Dr. Childs also spoke of the fact that it was criminal negligence to permit a child to contract tuberculosis while under our charge. "Tuberculosis is a curative as well as a preventive disease," was his direct charge. Dr. Childs plainly showed that he is a fit man for the position he now holds upon the Board of Education. He has the children at heart, is broad minded and intelligently familiar with the processes of education. Dr. Marshall who never boasts of being a speaker, forgot himself and did more than he expected to do, by making a real, real speech. He began with astronomy and ended with shorthand. It was beautiful how he brought in his analogy of the stars. "The force of gravity takes everything to the ground and at the same time holds the stars and planets in their orbs. Yet we see an opposing force in the fact that the small plants grow in the opposite direction. Wouldn't it be a flat world if it were not for that opposing force? So, while there might be opposition in our school work, yet let there be harmony, and agreement. There are opposing forces to gravity and that is what makes the stars stay in their places and the trees to grow. In regard to shorthand, he said: "Let our Business High School pupils come out knowing how to write shorthand at some uniform rate rather than let them graduate without knowing how to write a single word. Our race needs to be able to do one thing well." True, it was a blow to the department of business practice, yet it was a good point well taken. Dr. Davidson, Superintendent of Schools, lent an emb-elibrating element to the assembly. His speech was a fit summary to the whole. He cared not for the officials, the Board of Education, Latin, Greek and Typewriting, etc., provided the teachers were able to turn out real men and women. "If we produce real men and women, the other things, such as typewriting and shorthand, etc., will come unto them." A rising vote of thanks and appreciation was given to the officials. RACE COWARD. Leading Negroes Afraid to Express Themselves—The Shades of Garrison, John Brown and Others. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 27. Editor of The Bee. Chase, with his Bee, is always stirring things in a way that cannot mislead the Afro-American, as to the seriousness of our surroundings. With the ancient history of the Hamites as an important part in the most wonderful guide to the world's present civilization, notwithstanding that most sorrowful event of our enslavement in the United States. It is exasperating to me as to how it is possible for some of the leading Afro-Americans to ignore and ridicule, too, by their manner of speech the greatness of our race. In dealing with our presence in this country, in this enlightened generation, "colored" men who are permitted the space accorded them in the press and magazines and who write books, etc., should be very careful as to how and what they say and never forget that the historical greatness of the Africans of ancient times is of vast importance to our present and future, whether lived forever, in the United States or any other country, "The children of Ham" were not, and are not to this present day, the inferiors of any. For thus, I am at a loss to account for certain deficiencies so pronounced in some of the supposed, specializers on the present status of this wonderful by nature race in the United States. No mistakes about it. In certain ways some of these specialists on the solution of the "race problem" are a lot of cowards, who seek greatness at the expense of an unjustly insulted and humiliated people, who as a race in the United States have never had or enjoyed a day of recreation or vacation since their arrival here in 1619. Of that class of "colored" men who now so willingly how to certain mandates for the oppression and suppression of "our people." I do hope some day in the distant future the Mro-American will learn to know them in their true light and then repudiate their past as it now deserves, but of which in some way it cannot be done now, when they seem to have the press and magazines at their command, when the "stamp" of the "white" man's approval is put on them and their works. It will all come out in the future and they will be proven to have been an ungrateful, selfish lot, whose attitude on the present humiliative position of our race did not receive from them denunciations which they could have given when it was their opportunities and moral duties to do so. Supposedly great Afro-Americans are doing nothing less than falsifying and compromising Afro-American history in a cowardly and niggardly way, which otherwise written, would be of great interest and necessity in the times to come. Yes, for the sake of their personal aggrandisement to greatness and present prosperity and nothing more. One instance in particular I mention here to show comes from the pen and lips of one of our supposedly "big" Afro-American "race problem" solvers, copied from a publication. 1. "In conclusion, my countrymen I make no selfish plea; it is a pleo save yourselves. Let us do on luty and the Keeper of us all will perform His. The Negro can offer to be wronged, the white man cannot afford to wrong him. Second. Never since the day that we left Africa's shores have we lost faith in you or in God. We are a patient, humble people; there is plenty in this country for us to do. We can afford to work and wait. The workers up in the atmosphere of goodness, long suffering and forbearance and forgiveness are not many or overcrowded. If others chose to be mean, we can be good; if others push us down, we can help push them up. No harm can come to the black man that does not harm the white man. Think, under God's help and yours, from whence we have come, spurned and cheered on in the darkest hours by our midnight groans, our songs, and before-day prayers aid an inherent faith in the justice of our cause. We went into slavery property. We came out citizens. We went into slavery pagans, we came out Christians. We went into slavery without a language. We came out speaking the proud Anglo-Saxon tongue. We went into slavery with the slave chains clanking about our waist. We came out with the American ballot in our hands. This, this is our past. I ask the church to say what shall be the future." In the name of John Brown, Lloyd Garrison, Fred Douglas, and that mighty host of the "colored and white" heroes who died, for the cause, is not this a lot of gush? A cowardly plea in defense of that most hellish, most foul, most repugnant, most damnable, and most unjust institution ever approved by "Christianity and civilization" imaginable to man; slavery—to placate the white men of the unreconstructed south, who has never felt himself and never will feel themselves under any obligation to God. the Afro-American, nor the devil himself at any time to prove that they could not afford to wrong the Afro-American since they were imported for the purpose of that most foul institution almost 300 years ago! No harm can come to the black man that does not harm the white man. Torments! what have not the Afro-Americans of the South done in goodness and kindness for the white man? What have not the white man of the South done in meanness to oppress, to crush, to re-enslave the Afro-Americans of the South? What not! The echo answers. What not! In those double-columned editorials of "The Bee one dated July 5th, entitled "A Reward of Apathy," and the other dated September 20th, entitled "Treck or No Treck." Editor Chase did not miss the targets. He said at the end of "A Reward of Apathy." July 5th: "Somebody lied, Somebody lied." Why yes, Brother Chase, they have lied and they continue to lie. Why should any colored man who claims to premier leadership of his people South, permit himself to misrepresent facts and conditions, As a free people. If the present conditions which did, and do now exist in that section of the country is not modern slavery, then what are the rights of a free people? For the sake of the privileges accorded them to accumulate a little money and be termed as good niggers, by the white man, who are determined to keep the Afro-American down) by a well defined system of peonage, and other forms of the South's modern slavery, the biggest of the biggest Afro-American "race problem solvers" south has done nothing else for years but to compromise the rights, privileges and liberties of the race South, Ray Standard Baker, a writer of national repute, has said enough for any one who never lived South to know that what I now say is the God's truth. Nothing short but of the bravery of the Afro-American in a bloody revolution in that section of the country in which they could or would come out of it an equal combatant, will ever settle their title to just rights and liberties as freemember guaranteed by the constitution. This I know sounds cold-blooded, but it is a face, which should not be kept hidden because of its horrors. If such cannot be the case, will the Afro-American of the South permit himself to be re-enslaved in the true meaning of the word? the spirits of the great abolitionists of the past needs to be rekindled in the prescint. The North, who has done so nobly for the suppression of one slavery, should not tolerate it disguised, which is practically in operation in that same section, the South. Why permit the mullification of the war of 1861-65? Can it be true that our friends in the great cause of the past has deserted us to our fate, in the hands of those who would destroy or re-einslave us? Humanity forbids that we go to such extremes as revolution in an effort to properly settle the rights of the race South, but what else must he do but retaliate. After these many years of accumulation under the most trying circumstances, must the race do as Mohammed from Mecca, A. D. 622, take their flight? If so, I agree with Editor Chase in his editorial of September 20th, "Treck or No Treck." The sooner the Afro-Americans leave the cursed South the better it will be for all persons concerned.

Mayor Preston Promptly Signs Ordinance After Passage in Council—Affirmative Vote of 15 to 4 in First Branch, With Five Members Absent—Ordinance Returned to Second Branch, Where It Was Promptly Confirmed—Legality of Measure Attacked by Messrs. Binswanger and Cummings. By a vote of 15 to 4 and with five men absent the First Branch City Council last evening finally passed the administration segregation ordinance. It was at once sent back to the Second Branch and confirmed. Mayor Preston, who was awaiting the decision of the Council, promptly affixed his signature thereto, making it law. Councilmen Binswanger, Cummings, Jording and Lang voted against the ordinance on its final reading. Messrs. Lasch, Jung, Gross, Gettenmuller and Hildebrand were absent. Before the roll-call, Councilmen Binswanger, Cummings and West delivered addresses. Mr. West explained the part that he had played in bringing about segregation in the last few years, while Mr. Binswanger and Mr. Cummings attacked the legality of the measure. Councilman Binswanger pointed out that there was an omission of an important clause in the second section of the ordinance and offered, an amendment to correct the error. It was adopted. Councilman Cummings was the only solon to vote against the amendment. Councilman Spencer, observing that Mr. Binswanger helped to make the ordinance legal, arose and said that "the Fourteenth ward solon had become a stepson to segregation." The sally was greeted with laughter. Just previous to that incident Mr. Binswanger had called Mr. West the "undisputed father of segregation." Mr. Curtis "the son of segregation." and Mr. Milton Dashiels "the mother-in-law of segregation." He predicted that the highest court in the land would reject the ordinance. He said that it "reeked of negrophobia and was legally defective." In his address Mr. West said that there was unmistakable public demand for some immediate action on segregation. "I have the case too much at heart," said Mr. West, "to want to do anything which would interfere with the good results which I believe legislation of this kind will accomplish, and in view of the fact that many persons believe that a temporary, measure will prevent threatened evil. I will, of course, gladly aid any attempt toward such an end." Interest in Cummings' Speech. The news that Mr. Cummings, the only colored solon in the City Council, would speak attracted some city officials and taxpayers to the chamber. Mayor's secretary, Robert E. Lee, City Librarian Coyle and City Statistician Flack were among those present. His speech, which was a defense of the colored race and a plea for fairness and kind treatment, was listened to with deep interest. He said: While I know that it is not within my power to prevent the passage of this ordinance, yet I feel it my duty toward my people and toward the cause of justice to oppose it by my voice and vote. This ordinance, like the others of its kind, is trying to do the impossible thing; that is, to thwart and hinder human progress. Neither prejudice, ill feeling nor temporary power can eventually prevent the triumph of justice or stop the tide of progress to which all humanity aspires. The attempt of a people to better the conditions of their home life, to bring health and happiness to themselves and children should be encouraged rather than make them the objects of derision and contempt, and make them the victims of unjust and unconstitutional laws. I admit that there is a sentiment in favor of this legislation, but I submit it is unfair and unjust to my status. stripping people. Aye, more, it is unfair and unjust to the great number of white taxpayers whose properties, long vacant by the drift of population, and who are compelled to pay their taxes on these vacant houses, to have the additional burden which this law imposes, making it a crime to receive rent from a certain class of citizens. I admit that the ablest, the best and the most ingenious legal talent of our city and state has been called into play to devise a law which will meet the test of our highest state and federal courts, but their labors will eventually go for naught, for the simple reason that it is an attempt to find a lawful way to do an unlawful thing. No law like this one, which permits a citizen to own property, and denies to him the right to enjoy it, can stand the test of our state or United States Constitutions. I venture the prediction that this ordinance, like its predecessors, will fall and be declared unconstitutional when it is taken, as it surely will be, to the highest court in the land. "Time Will Adjust All Things." No one deprecates more than I any semblance of bitter feeling and race antagonism, and no one will go further than I to allay them, and this sentiment is shared by the thoughtful, conservative and law-abiding people of my race, who are endeavoring to conform to the highest ideals in education, religion and morality, so that they may fully measure up to the highest standard of citizenship. If in the most of these temporary disturbances cooler heads and better judgments prevail, then all will go well. I am not the least alarmed or discouraged. I am optimistic and fully believe that time will adjust all these things, and it is my earnest hope and belief, with prejudice toward none, but peace and good will toward all, that soon the sentiment which underlies this ordinance will pass away, and that we all, regardless of race or creed, will work together for the common good and the onward progress of our beloved city and state. MR. NAPIER RETIRES. Will Return to Tennessee. Hon. J. C. Napier, the retiring Register of the Treasury, was seen by a Bee representative Wednesday morning, and said among other things that the two years and a half since he has been in Washington has spent a pleasant time and while he doesn't regret his retirement from office from a political standpoint, he does regret leaving so many good and substantial friends. That he had been treated fairly and justly by the Democratic administration in office, he would enter the next campaign and do all in his power to defeat the Democratic party and put our party in. He said further that in 1916 he believed that Tennessee would be in the Republican column. That there is a Republican Governor who will be a formidable candidate for the Presidency or place him in the United States Senate. The Bee, as well as the people of this city, regret the retirement of Mr. Napier. He has made himself one of the people and they regard him one of them. He turned his office over to his successor Wednesday, who was sworn in, Business Campaign Iterary of the Boosters Campaign in interest of the business men and women of this city is as follows: October 6—Metropolitan Baptist Church, R Street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets Northwest.

Greatest Convention in the History of the Baptist Organization. The Nashville session of the Woman's Convention, auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, was the biggest and best in the history of the organization. No convention of Negro women are raising as much money and doing as much real work as this organization. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is the Executive Secretary and to her is given the credit for "pulling off" the best "Jubilee" Negroes have held this year. The souvenir program is a gem—it is attractive and unique—brim full of facts touching the achievements of the race in this country. Her unique arrangement in pyramid form of the achievements of the race has called forth great praise. The Jubilee Badge was another device that showed the clever work of a master mind. It too contained facts touching achievements of the race. A great poster called "Triumphant Trudging" showed the progress of Baptists in every State since the first church was started near Savannah, Ga. The State buttons told the number of Baptists in the State. Her annual report is a real gem. The frank, clear, practical discussion of all the big problems stamps the woman most, capable for the great work to which she. was elected for the twelfth time by acclamation amid cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. Every Negro ought to have one of these valuable programs for his library, and one of these reports as a text book on social problems now to be solved. But the biggest achievement was the getting out of the "Jubilee Message"—a brand new song book containing 250 brand new selections. Two songs "We Have Fought Every Race's Battles But Our Own," and "The Prophecy" were written by Miss Burroughs. The former is destined to become as popular among Negroes as "Dixie" and "America" are among the whites of our country. The book also contains ten of the best Jubilee songs. The music at the convention was the best we have ever heard in a great religious gathering. The Woman's Convention raised over $2,000 during the year and about $3,000 at Nashville. Great men and women came from every section of the country to deliver addresses, to pledge themselves anew to co-operation in the work of uplifting the Negro. This meeting was not given up to making big speeches without laying big plans. The women are going to build a Memorial Arch at the entrance to their Training School at Washington, D. C. They are to erect $25,000 buildings on the grounds to meet the demands of their growing institution. The girls from the Training School covered themselves with glory. Every feature of the big program was a star number. The Needle Work Exhibit under the direction of Mrs. Emma L.Cabanis was a great success. Mrs. Eva Hicks and Mrs. Eva Hooper, of Chicago, Ill., had charge of the supplies, and no women worked harder for the success of the big meeting. Miss Geneva L. Staulz and Mis-Sophelia Porter, sweet singers connected with the school, gave unusual service and ingratiated themselves in the hearts of the thousands who heard them sing and saw them co-operating in the work of the convention. Mrs. M. M. Gilmore, of South Carolina, won the Jubilee Medal for the best field work in her State during the year. Miss M. Helen Adams, the social worker, who has been doing slum work in Glasgow, Scotland, for fourteen years, is to take up work under auspices of the convention and conduct a Center in Washington, D. C. The women are certainly planning great things, and then they are pushing the plans. The Center opens October 10th, and has a great field, and we believe a great future. RALPH E. LANGSTON Leader of Anti-Wood Faction Appointed Special Agent—First Negro Democrat Gets an Office: Mr. Ralph E. Langston, leader of the anti-Wood Negro Democracy of New York City, has been appointed a special agent in the Internal Revenue, Treasury Department. Mr. Langston was also elected at a recent primary election a member of the regular Tammany County Committee. This is another black eye to the Wood faction in New York. Secretary McAloo was Mr. Langston's supporter. This appointment is due to him and white leading Democrats in New York. Bishop Alexander Walters is also entitled to the highest praise and commendation. The appointment of Mr. Langston is no doubt a black eye to the Wood-faction in New York City. The Conservatory School of Expression faculty has been enlarged this year for special work. Mrs. E. A. Duffield has been appointed matron of the boarding young ladies at the Conservatory.

Men and women, mls understanding the character’ and the Plan of God, were Just ‘ns sincere as ourselves when they sought to copy what they supposed to be the'Creator’s methods by torturing each other, buru- Ing one another at the stake, etc. These mistakes were not made whol- ly by one denomination, eyen as the errors which Icd to thesé mistakes were not held merely by one denoml- natfon, Presbyterians were persecut- ed, and in turn persecuted others; so did Episcopalians, Methodists, Bap- tists, Catholles, ete.

Instead of feeling anger and hatred and charging others with having kept ua in Ignorance and superstition, let us rather rejoice together aud give thanks to God that our chains at last are breaking. Let us remember Saul of Tarsus as an illustration of how a good man, misled of the Adversary. Decame’ a persecutor of the Church of Christ.

Put Away, Therefore, All These. St. Paul urges us. as cbildren of the Ught, to walk In the light. Jesus bids us to let our light so shine before oth- ers that we may thus glorify the Fa- ther in Heaven. St. Peter says that we shall show forth the pralses of Him who has called us out of darkness Into His marvelous light. The Ight that is now shining upon the pathway of God's falthful people ts not a new Ught. It is the same light which Jesus and the Apostles held forth and rejole- ed in, ‘For the time being, it has been lost, burled under the rubbistr and su- perstition and error of elghteen centu- Hes. Now, In God's providence, these obstructions are being seen.

The classes all joined in one body and was reviewed by the pastor, with the exception of the primary class, who were reviewed by their teachers. It was indeed pleasing and surprising to see how well the little ones remembered all through from the beginning to ending, some parts of each lesson. The secretary's report was also very satisfying. Our visiting friends were Rev. Charlie Ashton and French, of Washington, D. C., and also visitors from Alexandria, whose names reporter failed to learn. The morning services were concluded by Rev. Colbert. This being Communion Sunday there was an overflowing congregation, and a most excellent and feeling sermon. Mrs. Annie Lewis, of Philadelphia, was the guest Saturday and Sunday of Mrs. C. V. Tinner, and Miss Francis Tinner. Mr. Frank Williams, of Philadelphia, is visiting his nephew, Mr. A. G. Murray. Sunday afternoon the Epworth League was very largely attended. The program was well rendered. Mr. T. W. Hyson, of Hall's Hill, read a very interesting paper and Mrs. Nellie Ferguson gave some very interesting remarks. Mr. Hyson was accompanied by Mrs. Hyson. Mrs. Ferguson and a number of Silver Star Club, who rendered music. The day closed with a glorious sermon at night by the pastor, followed by the administration of the Lord's Supper and the announcement of a good collection. Rev. Harper, of Pomonkey, Md., was the guest Thursday and Friday of Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Colbert. Miss Margie Coats and Mr. Everett Tinner expect to leave for Washington, D. C., the first of October, where they will attend the Normal Training School. Their many school mates extend to them their well wishes for a successful school term. Rev. Dr. M. W. Clair, D. D., pastor of Ashbury M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., preached at the Fairmount Heights M. E. Church Sunday at 3 o'clock. As usual he preached a very powerful, instructive and encouraging sermon. It seems that the congregation was invigorated by Rev. Clair's call to arms. They seem to take on new life. Rev. G. A. Davis, pastor of Nash M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., will preach Sunday, October 5. The Communion at the Baptist Church last Sunday was nicely attended. Rev. Bro. Hunter in deed and in truth is a worthy pastor, and is bound to succeed. Mad dogs are fierce here. One ran amuch Sunday, Sept. 28. He hit more than a dozen other dogs, and came near biting a ten-year old girl. More than fifty shots from revolvers, rifles and shot guns were fired at him before he was finally captured. Mr. John Midley, while shooting a dog Monday night, met with a serious accident. His gun exploded and tore off his left hand. Mr. E. M. Campbell is preparing for an oyster supper for the benefit of the M. E: Church. Mr. and Mrs. George Shumate, of 527 Girard Street Northwest, have occupied the beautiful home of Rev. E. S. Williams on Fairmount Avenue. The good people of Fairmount Heights welcome Mr. and Mrs. Shumate. Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Washington have moved into the beautiful seven room house on White Avenue, near Wilson Street. Mr. Washington is a lawyer by profession; and is quite an addition to the community. The young disciples of Blackstone seem delighted to make their home in Fairmount Heights. In proportion to the population we have more Bachelors of Law than any place. We challenge Washington. D. C. Among them are the following, in alphabetical order: Messrs. James F. Armstrong, A. E. Briscoe, James A. Campbell, Cornelius H. Fonville, Wm. H. Tabb, David W. Utz, and A. D. Washington. Why not have an alumni association of the Law Department of Howard University? Rev O. Garfield Hunter, pastor of the First Baptist Church of North Fairmount Heighte, has kindly consented and will preach at the M. E. Church Monday night, October 6. His choir and congregation were invited to be present. Rev W. B. Carroll, pastor of one of the leading Baptist Churches of Washington, has consented to preach a special sermon to his many friends from Alabama. The date will be announced later. Mr. James H. Cruso, of Beverley, D. C., departed this life September 29, 1913. The funeral services were held Thursday and interment at Har- mony. He leaves several children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He was a member of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association of the District of Columbia, and was much loved by all. Rev. Harris, of the Delaware Conference of the M. E. Church, worshiped with us Sunday night, September 28. HALL'S HILL VA Mt. Salvation Baptist Church met as usual on the fourth Sunday of each month, and held services all day with preaching at 11 o'clock, by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Coleman, D. D., who beautifully entertained his congregation from the text, "Love your enemies." Matt. 5-4. At 3 P M, the testimonial meeting was enjoyed with much deliberation and seemed a spiritual uplift to all present, exclaiming from one to another, "It is good to be here." There was a good attendance all day, including Rev. C. E. Queene, pastor of the M. E. Church, accompanied by several of the members from his church. At 8 o'clock Rev. Coleman preached another of short, but very powerful sermons, the subject being the light from Egypt, in a very picturesque manner. We regret to report Deacon Hungerford, superintendent of the Sunday school still on the sick list. Many earnest prayers are being offered for him that he will recover and that his faithful wife and daughter, may be sustained in their endeavor to care for this great man. Calloways Chapel Methodist Church was active with their usual services, with Sunday School at 10 A. M., Wm. R. Hyson, superintendent. Opening exercises by the pastor, Rev. C E. Queene. The quarterly review was conducted by Mr. E. O. Felder, formerly of North Carolina, but has resided here for a year or more a rather talented young man, and since his stay here has rendered much service to the Sunday School, and is now a regular teacher in the Sunday school. At 11 o'clock preaching by the pastor, Rev. C E. Queene, from the seventh chapter and thirteenth verse of Joshua. Text, "Take away the accursed things from among you." Mr. T. W. Hyson, on account of a previous engagement, read a paper before the league of Falls Church and was accompanied by members of the Silver Star Club of Hall's Hill. Also invited to be present and participate on this occasion, Miss Viola Hyson, organist, G. W. Ferguson, Mrs. Cora M. Ferguson, Miss Annita Hyson, Mrs. S. F. Hyson, Mrs. E. V. Ferguson, directress, and were happily entertained and returned in time to attend services at home and listened to a most excellent sermon, the subject being "The wheat and the tares," the seed, though being sown broadcast, presented a personal application and appeal to right living. Miss Jennie Lonesome is greatly improved during her vacation, having graduated last June, will enjoy the relief from school duties this year. M. Lewis Randolph is still on the sick list. Mr. Horace Chinn is at home again having made a visit to Philadelphia. The Village Improvement Association of High View Park is planning to make other improvements. Small houses are being erected here, the general trend being that of industry. The fire department recently organized promises to be a great affair, and with such men in the lead as Mr. J. T. Bryant, treasurer, E. O. Felder, secretary, L. W. Hyson, president, Chas, W. Chinn, vice president, W. H. White chaplain, there is no such word as fail. FAIRFAX NOTES. There was a considerable frost on low grounds in this vicinity Tuesday morning. Mrs. Bradley Muse and Miss Erline Fox, of Leesburg, Va., accompanied by Mrs. Kate Bennett, of Vienna, Va., were dinner guests of Mrs. W. H. Neal, Friday. Master Geo. Moriety was taken suddenly ill last Monday, his physician found it necessary to convey him to the Freedman's Hospital to undergo an operation for the obstruction of the bowels. At this writing he is very ill. Mrs. Lillian Green is also on sick list with an attack of the La Gripe. The Allen Y. P. S. C. F. niet at 6:30 P. M. at. Metropolitan A. M. E. Church and held a very interesting session. The meeting was opened with devotional exercises under the direction of the leader, Mrs. I. Williams. After which the principal speaker of the evening was introduced in the person of Mr. H. Dufield, who made some very good points, showing how love toward children can accomplish much good and how the proper exercise of it may mean the correct formation of their entire career. He urged that a playground circle be established by ten or twelve young ladies, the object of which would be to secure second hand clothing for needy children. Especial emphasis was laid upon the young man and means should be taken to get him in closer touch with the Endeavor, for in him lies the hope of the race. Mr. Dufield's address was well taken. The subject for the evening was, "Giving." Short testimonial talks were given by members of the society. The lesson was outlined by Mrs. Welch. In a short review of the various points made, the president gathered the summary that, consecrated, systematic giving to the Lord is trefully worth spasmodic, showy charity. That we should improve our talents, whether they be one or many, and give them to the service of God. That we need more practical workers in the field, for it is being overrun with theorists. After a few announcements the meeting closed with the Mizpah. A very good attendance was present. On Sunday, October 5, at 5 P. M., a very excellent and well prepared program will be rendered by the children of the Junior Department. One and all are cordially invited to attend.

Review—Sept. 28. "Thou art a God ready to pardon, graceful and惩恨, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness."—Nekhemiah 9:17. HOEVER falls to see that Moses, Israel and the Law were types, falls to get the real lesson out of them. Moses was a type, not only of Jesus, but of the entire Church, of which Jesus is in the Head. This St. Peter explains, saying, "Moses truly said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your neighbors, like unto me."—Acts 3:22. Jesus was raised up first, and since Pentecost the raising up from amongst the brothron has progressed. The work will be consummated when the full number of the Church shall have been accepted to glory. Then the antitypical Moses will begin His great work of delivering all desiring to return to harmony with God—all of whom are represented in the twelve tribes of Israel. The Church of this Gospel Age is otherwise called the Church of the First-borns, typically represented in the tribe of Levi, all of whom represented the first-borns of Israel, gaved in the Passover. These were divided into two classes—the priests and their servants. The priests represented The Christ-High Priest and under priests. The Levites represented the remainder of the overcomers. Typical of Christ's Second Adcent. The antypical priests will become a Royal Priesthood. Jesus, the great High Priest, invested with kingly honors, will have associated with Himself the faithful Little Flock. His joint-heirs. The remainder of the overcoming Church will be colaborers on a less glorious plane, yet spiritual. Their work will be primarily the blessing of mankind. The First Tables of the Law. The first tables of the Law were prepared by the Lord Himself. This represents the fact that man was created a perfect image of his Creator, in full accord with the Divine will and fully expressive of the Divine Law. Adam needed no other law than that which was in and of himself as a perfect man—God's law was written in his heart. But by reason of sin this Law was broken. Poor humanity has no longer a proper judgment respecting sin and righteousness. Man needs the great Meditator, to make reconciliation for his iniquity and to rewrite the Law of God in his flesh. Then Moses was instructed to hew out the two tables of the Law This represents that The Christ is fully commissioned to prepare the hearts of mankind for the rewriting of the Divine Law. To prepare men to obey God's Law will require their Restitution—their lifting up out of sin and degradation. This work, committed to Moses in the type, is in the antitype committed to Christ. Moses' second coming with the two tables of the Law was peculiarly different from the first. His face shone; and it was necessary for him to put on a veil, which thereafter he wore in the presence of the Israelites, but removed when entering the presence of God. Christ's work as Mediator, at His Second Coming, will be accompanied by a velling of His glory, so that the world will not see Jesus. This He declared, "Tet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye shall see Me." The Apostle explains that the Church will be prepared to see Christ in His glory by being changed from earthly to Heavenly nature. At His Second Advent, our Lord will vell His glory from mankind, and speak to them through the veil, and not directly from the spirit plane. Mankind will see Jesus no more. Instead, they shall see His representatives—the Ancient Worthies—as He declared, saying, "Ye shall see Abrham, Isaac, Jacob and all the Prophets." The world will see them in human perfection, samples of what mankind may attain during the restitution times. . Other Features of the Type. The anointing of the Anronic priest- hood typified the anointing of the unanticipating of the Royal Priesthood As in the type sacrifices were necessary before anointing and consecration to the priestly office, so in the antitype Jesus must offer Himself, thereby showing His loyalty to God, by sacrificing even unto death. A secrate to office only by sacrifice. In the case of the typical high priest, the sacrifice was a bullock. The antitype was our Lord's own body. In the case of the typical under priests, the sacrifice was a goat. The antitype is the human nature of the Church.—Hebrews 13:11-13. The typical mediator offered typical sacrifices. The real Mediator offers "better sacrifices." The typical mediator led the typical people into the typical Promised Land. The antitypical Mediator, during the thousand years of His reign, will lead God's people back to the blessings and privileges lost through Adam's disobedience, and redeemed by the Sacrifice on Calvary. JEFFERSON DAVIS. Where He Took the Oath of Office. What the Colored Man Is Doing in South. Montgomery, Ala.—A visitor to this conservative city, where Jefferson Davis took the oath as President of the Confederacy, is struck, at first, with how far into the background of the past the Negro has pressed the then status of the average Negro resident. Then the city's blacks were either housed in master-owned shanties or the servants' quarters of "the big house." Today the city's blacks are either housed in comfortable cottages or commodious residences which they themselves own. Then the Negro problem was one which the Abolitionists of the North were trying to solve. Now it is a problem the Negroes of pretty Montgomery are solving themselves. Another thing which impresses the visitor to Montgomery is that the apparent conservatism, characteristic of the city, among the Negroes, is quickly dissipated when you mention the city of Birmingham, for it is a matter of confident belief, with them, that they have achieved, and are achieving, more in the way of material progress than their "brothers in black" over in the "Pittsburgh of the South," just about ninety-six miles to the northeast. And this rivalry existing between these two cities makes for greater progress among the Negroes of Montgomery. Montgomery's 50,000 population is about half Negro. The city lies in the cotton belt of Alabama, and cotton growing would be a lost art were it not for the Negro. I took a drive, and, unless you think the Negroes there are not progressive, will state my drive was in a handsome touring car owned by a Negro, about Montgomery, and was shown the beautiful homes of Negroes, "free-owned home," and pointed out to me several hundred nosy, modern, cottages owned and occupied by Negroes there. The Negroes of Montgomery are making remarkable progress, and the local Business League there is commendably active in fostering and extending business establishments among the race, the president of the league, J. H. Fagin, being one of the most energetic men I ever met in a similar capacity. They have a real Negro Business League in Montgomery, one that believes a Negro Business League in Montgomery should be no pentup Utica, but an instrument to advance the race along every possible worthy line. For instance, the League there is active in its efforts to improve the school facilities of Negro youths; in support of the Anti-tuberculosis crusade, in support of the Hale Infirmary, in agitating the employment of a matron in the colored waiting room of the railroad station there; in fact, active in everything progressive. Among the business establishments in Montgomery which are owned, controlled and manned by Negroes are two bakeries, one bank, two butcher shops, more than a dozen blacksmith shops, three well furnished barber shops, one carriage shop, one jewelry store, two motion picture theatres, three very successful realty companies, eight sheoaking establishments, six tailoring establishments, one large transfer company, two funeral directors, one up-to-date drug store, two or three insurance companies, one clothing store, and several grocery stores, one or two of which have no superiors among the race anywhere, one harness manufacturer and two wide-awake newspapers. Montgomery's Negro professional men: her physicians, dentists, teachers and ministers, compare most favorably with any in the country, whether white or black. I was much impressed with one paragraph in a recent letter sent out by the Negro Business League of Montgomery to every member of the League that "it should be remembered that we are building a race within a great civilization which is exacting and calls for our greatest efforts as a people, claiming, as many do, representative and patriotic citizens." And the League is doing everything in its power to urge members of the race to learn the building trades in order that the race may monopolize the trades just as it monopolizes the domestic service. While most of the bricklaying and carpenter work in Montgomery is still done by Negroes, it is observed that white men plying these trades have begun to get a foothold in that city, to guard against the possibility of the Negro being driven from the trades, the Negro Business League there is urging that the race learn the trades. Some of the Negroes who have put Montgomery on the business map, who are actually "building a race within a great civilization, are G. E. Newstell, Dr. Scott, A. C. Dungee, L. A. Gilmer, Major Saxton, O. L. Campbell, J. H. Fagain, J. H. Phillips, Dr. U. S. Dean and V. H. Tulane. And the Negro Business League at Montgomery stands for a very high degree of civic pride, which commends it to, and secures for, Negro business men the approval and the patronage of progressive white citizens. The Negro ministers of Montgomery, too, are doing a great work, co-operating with the business men in every way possible. At Montgomery, Ala., you find the spirit of progress among the Negroes as strong as in any community; you find race-loyalty that is most commendable, and you find thrift and the desire to accumulate unsurpassed. It's an object lesson, and an inspiration to visit. Montgomery and take note of the progress the race is making in that quaint old conservative southern municipality.

Bethel Association, which I attended. On leaving Baltimore August 29, 1913, at 9 A. M., the car was in charge of Conductor No. 50. The traffic was heavy, and the company put on an additional car at Baltimore. And as the first car became crowded with whites and four colored passengers, among whom was a woman who I afterwards learned was Mrs. Helen A. Davis. The following coach was occupied by a colored Ohio delegation and a few whites by accident, and not because they had chartered it, as I afterwards learned. The conductor came into the first car and informed me that the ticket I had was for the back car. He told Mrs. Davis that the back car had been chartered by the Pythians and that we should go back; at the same time as he approached us with this, he grabbed her grip and rushed into the back car and we followed. When he reached this Mrs. Heller A. Davis, she refused to go at his bidding, though he grabbed her grip, which she tried to recover by following him, protesting that she was not a Pythian and saying she would not give up her seat, and so he reached the back section; she stooped to grasp her grip, when he closed her in, shutting the door fast, that she might not return to her seat as she insisted. He threatened her bodily harm and pushed her, then she stood up boldly for her rights. He would not produce her ticket, as she said she had not paid for a seat in that car, where she was forced, and even under threat of having her arrested at the White House Station as soon as they would land there. She still held on to what she thought was her right, and thus she entrapped and Jim Crowed us unsuspectingly on our part. Now I learn that this lady is president of an organization that has for its object the defense of the Negroes' rights as citizens of this country. In my judgment I feel that I voice the sentiment of the entire delegation that we have a courageous and fearless leader in her. A staunch fighter and one who displayed a fine ability for such a work as she represents. I and all that witnessed this when the White House Station was reached, no officer was called, and she was permitted to go unmolested. The Ohio delegation to a man stood by her. When they found they could not alter her determination, notwithstanding the conductor tried to get their statement that she obstructed the right of way to the white passengers, whom he ordered to leave the rear car where the Negroes were, and take the front car. Left her feeling proud of the victory she had won. Would to God we had a thousand or more race fighters like she. This is the time that we need them by force of example, and not by precept. I had the conductor to understand that he would be reported. He then asked me: "Wouldn't you rather be in a car with your own people?" I told him it was not a matter of rathers, but a matter of justice and rights. That I was a first-class passenger, and had a right to any seat that was unoccupied. Very respectfully yours, (MISS) D. M. SHAW. President of the Queen Esthers Industrial Home and Day Nursery for Colored Girls, 2117, H Sreet N. W, Our esteemed contemporary, the Norfolk, Va., Journal and Guide, has evidently been suffering from a temporary aberration of the mind if we are to judge from the following editorial utterance in its last issue: "John Mitchell, Jr., the incorrigible editor of The Richmond Planet, and W. Calvin Chase, the unspeakable mogul of The Washington Bee, don't like the National Negro Press Association, as if the men who compose that organization should worry and get a lot of wrinkles. Brother Mitchell has committed unpardonable treason by referring to the organization as 'The National Negro Business League Press Association.' Scandalous libel and slander!

We are charged with designating the National Negro Press Association, an adjunct and an auxiliary of the National Negro Business League as "The National Negro Business League Press Association." We are told the truth and we would like to know wherein we have transgressed? Is our esteemed contemporary ashamed of its foster parent? The National Negro Business League and its distinguished organizer and founder, Dr. Booker T. Washington, are second to no organization of the kind in the country. We shall be present at our own funeral and we shall have something to say and do before the execution, as the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, at Baltimore will be able to testify before the services designed for our state are concluded. As to Editor William Calvin Chase, of Washington, D.

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 know by this sign where to find one, and the colloquy between the two was brief. "Don't you remember?" the advocates 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.

THANKS TO MRS LAFOLLETTE A Strong Letter of Commendation. Sept. 20, 1913. Sept. 20, 1913. Mrs. Robert LaFollette. Dear Madam: I beg leave most respectfully to address you these few lines, in the hope that you will find a few minutes of your valuable time to peruse them, and I gladly avail myself of this opportunity to express my profound sense of gratitude to you for the interest you have been pleased to express in the publication of your splendidly written and impartial article which has found its way in the columns of the only Negro paper in the District of Columbia, The Bee, which is a staunch advocate of our rights. The Negro pledges himself to the law to do all and everything within the sphere of his influence, to direct others that way provided, that such action will redound to the advantage of the whole people. At best, we should know better, for the days of ignorance, superstition and wickedness in every degree, which were the basis of crime, are over, and education and intelligence have taken the place of fiendish and dastardly acts. Rivalry, in any race or people, of honesty of purpose, a life of purity and good conduct in general, would go a far away to solve this perplexing question which exists, more particularly in the South with the duplex races. The two races of people who are citizens of the District of Columbia should respect and honor your kind suggestion, for it is up to the white people to hold their good name and set an example of good citizenship to the black, and the blacks should uphold their good name and try at all hazards to live honest and respectable lives, otherwise, they will be but the mere slaves of their inclinations, the sport of feeling and impulse. In that article are to be found words of encouragement, generous words, words that will live as long as life lasts, and they will ultimately become the ruling element in our lives. I was indeed, profoundly impressed as I read the article to know that an American white woman had the courage of her conviction to express her sympathy in behalf of the Negro citizens in the District of Columbia, and, for that matter, to all the Negroes of these United States. The most striking sentence in your letter reads as follows: "There are exceptional cases of unspeakable brutality and outrage, but to judge all the race by these exceptions is as unjust as to brand all white men as Digges, Caminettis, and Charltons." This is the gist of the whole argument, and there is no reason why the whole race should be punished for the brutal, vicious and fendish conduct of a few abandoned Negroes of the twelve million people who are certainly entitled to some consideration at the hands of the white people who constitute the majority of our that country. Again, I quote from your article: "But I do feel warranted in saying that, considering their opportunities, the Negroes of Washington have done well in the last quarter of a century, and they constitute a useful, well-behaved and, in general, worthy citizenship." These are warm and strong words, and we value them because they come from one who is not particularly interested in the race, but from one who loves justice to all humanity. In reference to what you say about the Negro employees of the government competing with white employees for their places, taking the same specified examination, is the real reason for segregating the Negroes, and there is no special need for any additional comment to be made to those pregnant words of yours in the article. The race problem is a very serious one, and we are dealing with a live question and the most effective weapon on our side is an appeal to public sentiment and humanity of the Southern people with whom we live. It is of no consequence at this time, however, to have recourse to any humptious, antagonizing spirit, for it will only have a tendency to inflame the minds of those who are prone to do harm to Negro citizens. Yes, Madam, in education much has been accomplished by the Negro race since his emancipation, at least moral education has done much to produce good citizenship. The man, whether white or black, is always under a certain discipline, and the more he cultivates this discipline the higher will be his moral condition. The good white people-that is, the white people who love justice (not to say anything of the Negro race) should strive to help the blacks who are willing to be helped; they should do to them as every country does to its citizens, that is, to protect them. Every country demands the proper training of its youths, and so the United States should give to its citizenship the best that can be provided for them and which is none too good. From this proper training our future citizens will not only embody mental development, but a trait of high and moral character which is essentially necessary for all good people to possess, and so the public demands of every community all good citizens. Negro Citizens. Segregation in the District of Columbia, the greatest capital city on earth, is absurd; it is the quintessence of folly; it is wicked and barbarous and should lie stopped. It is now too late for any sane man, be he who he may, to attempt to stigmatize the Negro with shortcomings; the separation is a piece of meanness which nowhere outside of the United States would be tolerated. It is not only mean but absurd. In conclusion, permit me, dear Madam, to return to you thanks in behalf of the Negroes in the District of Columbia, and also to those throughout the United States for your kind expression towards them, and, believe me, very dear Madam. In the time of slavery it was impossible to make the white people of the South happy without the presence of the Negro. He was in their pariors, their dining rooms, their chambers, their kitchens and their carriages, and white babies nursed at the breast of Negro mothers. Now, he is free, the effort, pure and simple is made to degrade him. But, dear Madam, I am quite sure, yes, indeed, fully convinced that this arrangement, this segregation will not long withstand the march of this enlightened civilization. Yours, W. D. JOHNSON. COLORED HIGH SCHOOL Changes for the Good of the School Needed—Members of the Board of Education Requested to Act. There is much complaint against certain teachers in the Colored High School which should be remedied. Certainly these irregularities are known to the colored members of the Board of Education because complaints have been made to them. There are at least two or three teachers who would rather be classed among the white teachers than be identified with the colored teachers. In fact, they want to be white. It is the duty of the Board of Education to ask for an investigation and if there are teachers in the Colored High School who are, ashamed of their race or ashamed to be identified with the colored race, they should be dismissed at once. Why should teachers, male or female, be allowed to remain in colored schools, who are ashamed to be identified with their race? Some of the white people, may, most of the white people, believe that all Negroes are prone to evil. This suggestion is unfair, unkind and un-American, and tends to destroy all the good that has been accomplished since his freedom; but in passing, let me say that I desire it to be carefully considered that the Negro, as well as the white man, abominates all evil deeds; that he believes in the majesty of the law and is at all times willing to live as other good citizens. He offers no compromise with wrong, and he is as willing to bring a Negro criminal to justice as the white man, for he is not unmindful of that principle of law, that he who compromises, a crime is, participes criminis, and the same principle applies with equal force in morals, philosophy and science. It is claimed that certain teachers have been assigned to studies that they know nothing about. It looks as if the entire Colored High School should be thoroughly reorganized. The Negro who will consent to do wrong, even that good may come of it. is false to himself and unworthy of respect in the community in which he lives. It matters not who the individual is; it matters not how he has been treated; these things may be hard to understand, and it may be difficult to get people to recognize them and conform to the require- 100 Letter Heads 100 Envelopes 100 Business Cards All for $1:00 Triangle Print 1109 Eye, N. W. COST OF LIVING SHOWS INCREASE Three Per Cent Jump In Prices During Past Year. BEEF FROM SOUTH AMERICA Bacon Shows Remarkable Advance of 123.5 Per Cent In Past Decade-Other Articles of Food, Meat Especially, Go Bounding Up—Statistics Submitted by Bureau of Labor. Washington.-Bacon had advanced 123.5 per cent, pork chops 111 per cent and round steak 102.5 per cent on June 15 of this year, compared with the average prices for the ten year period ending with 1900, according to startling tables made public by the bureau of labor statistics. The figures show that retail prices of food in general were 59.2 per cent higher on the date mentioned than for the ten year period in question, while they are 3.3 per cent above the price of June 15, 1912, and 14.4 above the average of June 15, 1911. Sugar is a shining light, with a decline in price of 8 per cent from the ten year average, but this ray of sunshine is snowed under when consumers are told that smoked ham shows an increase in price of 84 per cent, hens 76.8 per cent, sirloin steak 75.2 per cent, rib roast 75 per cent, lard 60.5 per cent, cornmeal 57.3 per cent, potatoes 44.4 per cent, butter 41.3 per cent, eggs 40.8 per cent, milk 38.4 per cent and flour 28.6 per cent. When the price of each of the fifteen articles included in the bulletin is considered according to the average consumption in workingmen's families, retail prices are shown to have been at a higher level on June 15 of this year than at any other time during the last twenty-three and a half years, with the single exception of Nov. 15, 1912, when the level was slightly higher. Actual prices were obtained in forty cities, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Buffalo, Newark and New Orleans, belting the country both ways. While the average increase in the cost of living at retail grocery stores on June 15, 1913, as compared with June 15, 1912, is placed at only 3.3 per cent, the increase in many articles was much higher. Bacon is in first place in this comparison, the price in 1913 being 16.2 per cent higher than in 1912. Smoked ham is second, showing an increase of 14.1 per cent for the year, while pork chops occupy third place, with an increase of 13.4 per cent. Hens advanced 11.8 per cent; eggs. 11.7 per cent; round steak, 10.1 per cent; sirloin steak, 9.8 per cent; lard, 7.2 per cent; rib roast, 6.8 per cent; butter, 5.8 per cent, and milk, 4.1 per cent. South America is sending greatly increased shipments of beef to the United States, and the importation of this product now has become a factor in the import trade. Between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 pounds of fresh beef, part from Argentina, have entered the ports of the United States in the last three months. A large portion of the beef is coming from Australia. Officials of the department of commerce predicted that the imports of fresh beef from these countries in the present fiscal year will exceed 8,000,000 pounds. . TO GRIND WILD RICE. Flour of It Will Be Tried as an Experiment. Grand Rapids, Mich.-F. L. Vance, "the wild rice king" of the Popple river country, has commenced the manufacture of rice flour from the products of the shallow lakes of northern Minnesota. For years Mr Vance has made a business of harvesting wild rice and has built up a market. The flour will be manufactured at the Anderson grist-mill at La Prairie, especial machinery for the purpose being installed. Before being ground the rice must go through a roasting or drying process, and this is done near where the grain is harvested. A machine devised and built for this purpose by Mr. Vance is capable of roasting 1,200 pounds in six minutes. As far as known, this is the first time an attempt has been made to manufacture flour from wild rice. The raw material is plentiful, and practically the only cost will be the gathering and grinding, no seeding or soil preparation being necessary. PELLAGRA IN ENGLAND. Fifty Cases' Studied Confirm Theory It Is Not Due to Maize. London.— Fifty cases of pellagra, whose existence only became known to any considerable section of the British public as a result of the disclosures at the recent international medical congress, have been found in England and Scotland and personally investigated by Professor Sambon, who has gone to the United States to study the delsease there. Professor Sambon's doubts as to the malze origin of pellagra appear to be confirmed, according to the British Medical Journal, by the fact that the disease has declared itself in the British'sles, where malze is sparingly consumed. HER BARGAIN DIVORCE. Court and Lawyers Chip In Fees and Costs to Woman. Denver—Mrs. Julia Williams, who told Judge Rothgerber she married Charles Williams when she was seventeen, was given a bargain in the way of divorces in the county court. Her decree did not cost her a penny. She testified she had been obliged to make her own way in the world since her marriage. Her husband deserted her a month after their marriage in January, 1011, she said, and she now is earning $6 a week. Judge Rothgerber ordered his clerk to remit Mrs. Williams the docket fees in the case, amounting to $10. Her attorney also proved his generosity by returning his fees. Mrs. Williams, a brunette, thanked the court and her attorney, tucked the decree in her hand bag and, smiling, left the courtroom. CHURCH BAN ON SLIT SKIRT. New Britain Priest Will Not Give Communion to Wearer. New Britain, Conn.—The Rev. H. T. Walsh, whose utterances from the pulpit of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy have attracted state wide notice, has delivered a fiery opinion of present day gowns, and he has announced that he will not give communion to any woman who approaches the altar ralling in a slashed skirt or in diaphanous garb. Moreover, he will not receive at his parochial residence any woman who wears such gowns. The denunciation of gowns was made in the course of a sermon. The extreme fashions were described by the priest as "monstrosities," and he said men were disgusted with them. CAUGHT GIANT EEL WEARING A COLLAR Four Feet Long and Weighed Thirteen Pounds. Willimantic, Conn.—John Ballinski of West Warren captured in the Quaboag river, a mile below Willimantic, a giant eel with a dog collar on its neck. The eel was forty-seven inches long, as large around the body as the wrist of an ordinary sized man and weighed thirteen pounds. Ballinski killed the eel in low water, it evidently having been caught in the pool where it was captured when the tide went out. The collar, of the sort worn by a small dog, was securely locked about its neck and so tight as to cause the skin to bulge out around the edge. The initials "W. R. C." and the name "Prince" were engraved on a silver name plate. The eel's back was badly scarred, showing where it had been speared on various occasions. Four fish hooks with lines attached were found in the monster's mouth: "It was almost impossible for me to hold the eel after I grabbed it," said Ballnski, "for it would twist and squirm about-in my hands with ease. I finally got it between two stones and, drawing my knife, cut its throat. About the only thing it is good for is to chop it up and feed it to the chickens. The collar I will keep as a souvenir." GRASSHOPPERS EAT ROPE. It Breaks, and Workman Falls From Scaffold. Warrensburg. Mo.-A swarm of grasshoppers that alighted on a rope supporting a scaffold and cut through the strands nearly caused the death of a workman. Daniel Laughman, a carpenter, seventy, was working on the scaffold thirty feet from the ground while building a silo on the farm of Jesse Mohler. After the grasshoppers had feasted on the corn near the silo they gradually collected on the rope supporting the scaffold, and suddenly one end hurched downward, and Laughman was severely bruised by his fall. RABBIT MUSCLE FOR HER. Surgeon Will Graft It on the Leg of Miss Tovar. Kansas City, Mo.—Miss Hermita Tovar, fifteen, daughter of a wealthy merchant of Jalma, Peru, is in a critical condition at St. Joseph's hospital from injuries received in an accident on a roller coaster at Electric park. Her brother, Daniel, Tovar, twenty, is in an adjoining room suffering from severe brushes about the head and shoulders. The muscles from the foot of a rabbit will be grated into the girl's leg to take the place of those torn off in the accident. Plows Up $100 Nugget. Gulanda, Cal.—Excitement has been aroused here by the discovery of a gold nugget valued at $100 in the lawn of Lee Wood. He had his lot plowed in the spring and while leveling it off a few days ago turned up the piece of metal which he took to a jeweler for assay. It was about four inches long, an inch and a half wide and welghed five ounces. Properly a Proud Father Winsted. Conn.—The six-months-old infant of Thomas Flinn of Lake street weighs thirty-five pounds and already has seven teeth.

Trenton, N. J.—Through a successful operation in the New Jersey State prison here James Szikelya, a convicted murderer, who was declared insane, has been restored to full possession of his senses. Szikelya killed a countryman during a fight with other Hungarians in a barroom at Belvidere. N. J., on Oct. 11, 1911. He received an injury to his skull and soon afterward became deranged. He was thought to be dying by the prison authorities and was about to receive the last rites of the Catholic church when the physicians decided to operate. They removed a section of bone from the base of Szikelya's skull, which had been pressing upon his brain, and he is reported to be in full control of his senses. Dr. Samuel Sica, one of the physicians who assisted at the operation, said: "Szkelya is now calm and peaceable. All his old violence has left him. The relief brought about by the removal of the piece of bone that was pressing on his brain has given the man a new outlook on life. He is now anxious and eager for employment in the prison shops and for the crime he committed has a normal man's abhorrence. The injury, as I understand, came about in the fight which brought him to prison for murder, but it would seem to me that the operation has changed the man entirely, making him a better man than he was before he received the injury." CAUSE OF FOREST FIRES. Lightning to Blame—Educational Campaign Has Changed Conditions Washington. Lightning has caused most of the fires this year in national forests, according to reports to the forest service. In former years spark showinger locomotives, campers and brush burners were the chief causes of fires. The change is attributed to the educational campaign conducted among users of the forests, as well as to the improvement of the fire patrol system. Dry and windy conditions in southern Arizona and New Mexico make fire risk there imminent. Ghent, Belgium.-The first international congress of the deaf and dumb recently opened here.

Mrs. Catherine Williams started on her return trip for her native home, Bermuda, yesterday, after spending a week's sojourn here as the guest of her cousin, Mrs. Helen A. Davis. She expressed great delight with her trip, much of which was taken up in sight seeing; among the many places she visited was the National Training School for Women and Girls at Lincoln, D. C., of which Miss Nannie Burroughs is president. Mrs. Williams is a retired merchant, having conducted several large curio enterprises, both on Front and on Church Streets, at Hamilton, Bermuda, which were patronized by tourists who sojourn and visit the islands during the winter season. While in this country she toured the East, and aside from being nicely received by relatives and friends of the late Judge S. G. Davis, of Maine, at his home, she was the guest of Mrs. J. B.

She is a thorough race woman, and having come across The Bee at the home of her cousins, she readily appropriated it for her own service and declared herself so deeply enthussed with the manly and fearless fight the editor is making for his people along all lines, that she will recommend it to her people for subscription that they may keep in touch with the progress and the efforts of her race to establish equality of justice in their citizenship rights. She has allied herself with the National Sentinel and promises her interest will be telling; she is also a member of the Malachites, having been made a member of that order a year ago by Miss Henrietta Davis during a visit at Bermuda in the interest of that order.

The Washington Bee in a recent issue, says "No Negro will be appointed Recorder of Deeds" The Bee must be given credit for its political forecast, but we are forced to part ways on this forecast, as we firmly believe that the president will appoint James A. Ross, of Buffalo, N. Y., to succeed Recorder Johnson. The Bee will confess that if Negro Democracy is to be recognized at all, Ross, from a political pointpoint, is the most deserving. Of course the selection, of Patterson and Buckner does not bear out our arguments, as we never heard of them as being Democrats, but Matthews, Ross, and McGhee have stood in the limelight for years as leading exponents of national Democracy.-The Defender. The city as well as the Conservatory is to be congratulated in adding to the number of our capable musicians of the Fall the celebrated composer and director, Will Manan Cook, who will direct the first chorus concert, largely of his own late compositions. The vacancy in the voice department has been ably filled by the gifted tenor, Mm. Speights, the only graduate of voice of the Boston Conservatory. ```markdown ``` Ceruti, 105 F.

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 Washburn, Missouri, belongs 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, with charge, and enjoy it and everything which can be done to it. 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 be taken over, and all valuable furniture, books, paper, books of art and curtains 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 and put in repair the historical old monument, 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 avail themselves the opportunity to mortgage on the home of our Great Douglass Start in once, 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 gift. For a short time, for New York real estate increases in value amazing fast, and at the same time you will help raise the fund required to preserve the home of that illustrious Negro, Frederick Douglass.
