ELECTION DAY Tuesday, November 4, 1913. Fiftieth Anniversary Year of Freedom. Editor The Bee: Editor The Bee. As you know, this is the fiftieth anniversary year of our freedom. I very much hope that there may be a general disposition on the part of our people everywhere to fittingly celebrate this occasion. Some time ago, you may remember, I published the statement which follows with reference to this matter, and beg again to bring it to your attention. What I wrote at that time was to this effect: After consultation with a number of the leading men and women of our race, I have taken upon myself the responsibility of asking our people to devote the week of October 19 to 26 to the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of our freedom. Something has already been done, however, in several parts of the country, towards carrying into effect the plan already suggested for local celebrations. In order that these various local celebrations may be carried out harmoniously and in such a way that each local celebration will contribute to a national total, the following recommendations are submitted: 1. That October 19-26, 1913, be known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week. 2. That schools, churches, and all other societies and organizations in every part of the United States, where there is a considerable number of our people, unite and co-operate for the purpose of holding local celebrations that shall recite our progress in commercial, professional, intellectual, moral, and religious directions. An effort should be made to secure the strongest and most representative men obtainable as speakers. It is my earnest hope and desire that the above suggestions be read before the various churches, lodges, and other organizations of our people, to the end that the Fifthth Anniversary Week of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere. We must depend, of course, upon our newspapers to bring this matter to the attention of the colored people, if any large number of them is to be reached. I very much hope you will heartily co-operate with and give full publicity to this effort. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Booker T. Washington. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. October 11, 1913. MR. NAPIER LEAVES. Many Regrets at His Departure. Mr. J. C. Napier, accompanied by his most amiable wife, left the city Monday evening for Marshall, Tenn. his home. Mrs. Napier will probably return within a few weeks and remain with her distinguished mother. Both Mr. and Mrs. Napier left behind them a large number of friends who regret their departure. M. C. MAXFIELD INJURED. Knocked Senseless by $400,000 in Money While in the Government Vaule, and Carried to the Freedmen's Hospital—Is Given Personal Supervision of Dr. W. A. Warfield, Surgeon-in-Chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, Where Hundreds of His Friends Called and Paid Their Respects—Says He Is About Out of Danger. Mr. M. C. Maxfield, one of the best known and most highly respected and honored citizens of Washington, and for over thirty-six years employed in the vault division of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, while stacking money in the vault of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Thursday, September 9th, and while he was bolting the west half of the door, the east half being opened, he then attempted to rise to his feet. Just then a number of packages knocked him senseless; then he fell upon his head. He was conveyed immediately to the operating, room and placed upon a table, when it was thought he was dead After having had several stitches put in his wound and, given restoratives he was carried immediately to his home, 1229 First Street Northwest, in a semi-conscious condition. It was thought best by his immediate personal friends, who arrived soon after he was carried home, to send him at once to the Freedmen's Hospital Dr. W. A. Warfield was summoned and he ordered his ambulance to bring him to the Freedmen's Hospital, where he took personal charge. Dr. Warfield has been giving his personal attention to this distinguished patient ever since, and it MR. M. C. MAXFIELD is believed that he is now about out of danger and will be able to return to his home within a few weeks. Every attention and care have been exercised to bring him through, and had not immediate relief been given no doubt the fall would have resulted fatally. As it is, it will be some time before Mr. Maxfield will be himself again. The accident excited the greatest sympathy both at the Bureau, where he has the respect and confidence of his superior officers, and the people in this city. He was regarded as one of the most honest and trusted men. For over thirty-six years billions and billions of dollars have been handled by Mr. Maxfield. He has handled money, entirely finished and ready to be circulated, and not a penny has been lost or missing. He has never missed a day before from sickness, and neither has he ever been reprimanded for any dereliction of his duties to the government. or the work in which he has been engaged for over thirty-six years. No man is better thought of or more respected than Mr. Maxfield. He has devoted the best portion of his entire life to Christian work. He has gone in the alleys, churches and Sabbath Schools preaching the Christian religion and making every effort to improve his people. He is a race-loving man and believes ardently in the colored soldier. He entertains no malace towards any one and his great characteristic is to teach his people and the poor to be good and upright citizens. It is his hourly and daily thoughts how to improve the condition of his people. All honor to Dr. W. A. Warfield and his competent staff and physicians and nurses, who have tenderly seen to his every want. Race Pride. "When you see a Negro doll in the arms of a Negro child, then you know that the child is being taught a lesson in race pride and race development-which will not result in race suicide."—Henry Allen Boyd. Yes, but the doll should not be too dark or too light. Everything is in the lily white order now, Dr. Boyd. Negroes are ashamed of their color. THE MUSICIAN DR. W. A. WARFIELD The Man Who Has Made Freedmen's Hospital What It Is Today—Pushed His Own Way to the Standard of Eminence. DR. W. A. WARFIELD Surgeon-in-Chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, at the Head of the Greatest Institution in the Country—A Successful Surgeon and Physician A Graduate of Howard-Senator Hoke Smith, Ex-Secretary of the Interior, Thinks Him Worthy and Competent—Popular With the Masses. One, if not the most, successful and progressive physicians and surgeons in the United States is Dr. W. A. Warfield, Surgeon-in-Chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, who was born in Montgomery County, in the State of Maryland, November 17, 1866. There is not a more competent physician and surgeon to be found anywhere in the United States. He worked himself up to the highest standard that any medical man could reach by perseverance and industry. When he was but a boy he worked on a farm and attended the public schools until he reached the age of 15. Three years later he left the farm in Montgomery County, Md., and went to Baltimore, Md., and entered Morgan College, where he remained five years. He found city and college life more congenial to his mental and physical appetite. He didn't cease work, however, because he was going to college or enjoying the fruits of city life. He hired himself to one of the largest hotels in the city of Baltimore. His record in Morgan College was good. His thirst for knowledge and higher education were most prevalent in his mind. He wanted a medical profession, which he could not obtain in Morgan College or the city of Baltimore. There was no colored medical school in the State to which he could go, so he entered Howard University, and in 1894 he graduated from that institution when it was at the zenith of the glory and success. He afterwards entered Freedmen's Hospital as an interne in the month of October, 1894, and has been there ever since, having been promoted to second assistant, then first assistant, and in 1901 he, on account of his superior intelligence, intellect and competency, was made Surgeon-in-Chief of this great institution. There is no man in this country who has made such a record and who has been so successful. His success has excited the envy of men who have been ignominious failures in the medical profession. Colored men who have changed their politics every time the political complexion of the government fails, have made applications for his place. Senator Hoke Smith, who was at one time Secretary of the Interior, reappointed him because he found him to be a competent man and one who is a credit to his race. When the question was discussed as to the advisability of erecting a new hospital for the colored people, many plans were discussed and many propositions were made to the Secretary of the Interior, but it was finally decided to leave the entire matter to Dr. Warfield. A new hospital has been built, costing more than $600,000, containing 278 beds. This hospital was planned, equipped and organized by him. It is a monument to the colored race. The colored people are not aware of what an institution they have and a worthy member of their race at the head. They have not the least idea that it is the most up-to-date hospital in the United States. It is the personification of cleanliness and perfection. The staff contains the best physicians and surgeons, black and white, in this city. It is the training school for young color guardmen as nurses. There are forty in the school and ten internes. Clinical facilities are given to Howard Medical students, the best that can be found anywhere in the United States. The nurses and internes are thoroughly organized. They are a class of high-grade men and women. The Bee pays this tribute to a worthy man who is at the head of a worthy and a great institution. Every citizen, black and white, should hold up the hands of Dr. Warfield because he has made the institution what it is today. It is a monument for future ages and generations. HELPING THE TEACHERS. Dr. Childe. Resolutions. Whereas, the Board of Education of the District of Columbia is sincerely desirous of promoting the most cordial and helpful co-operation between the local public schools and the colleges of Howard University, and to this end has permitted university students of education freely to observe and to practice teaching in the public school houses under the expert guidance of the regular classroom teachers, and Whereas, more than thirty teachers in the colored elementary schools are now applying through Assistant Superintendent Bruce to the authorities of Howard University for the establishment of extension courses leading to the first degree in arts and in sciences; therefore, be it. Resolved, that the Boaid of Education hereby records, on the one hand, its appreciation of the professional spirit shown by this group of aspiring teachers; and, on the other, its hope and conviction that the university authorities will see their way clear to establish the requisite teachers' extension courses; and be it Resolved, that the Board of Education expresses the hope that Howard University will grant graduates of Normal School No. 2 advanced standing on terms not less liberal than those granted such students by the University of Chicago; and upon an arrangement of the schedule of hours of instruction in the extension courses as convenient as possible to the teachers; and with the fees charged public school teachers for the privileges of the extension courses not exceeding in the aggregate those charged day school students in the School of Liberal Arts; and be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the president of Howard University and to the president of the Board of Trustees. These resolutions were presented to the Board of Education of the District of Columbia at its meeting held October 15 by Dr. Creed W. Childs and were adopted. The Great Hair Culturist, Has Arrived—Go and Witness Her Demonstrations. Madame G. A. Finney Ceruti, of New York, the greatest and first hair culturist in the United States, arrived in the city this week and is now giv- ing demonstrations at 1105'U Street Northwest. Madame Ceruti is the first person to introduce the treatment of colored people's hair. Her comb is one of the most marvelous in the market and no female should hesitate seeing this remarkable woman. All kinds of hair preparations are on sale in this store where she is located. She will remain in the city until the 25th or longer. Go and see her and give her a trial. 1105 U Street Northwest. NEW HEAD Of Colored Social Settlement—Roscoe C. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Succeeds the Late Dr. John R. Francis as President of the Social Settlement. Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, was unanimously elected as president of the Colored Social Settlement at a meeting of the board of trustees held October 8. Mr. W. L. Washington addressed the following letter to Mr. Bruce: "Prof. R. C. Bruce, 1327 Columbia Road. "My Dear Mr. Bruce: At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Colored Social Settlement on the 8th instant you were unanimously elected a trustee and then president of the board. Sincerely. "WM. L. WASHINGTON." In response Mr. Bruce accepted in the following: "Mr. William L. Washington, The Colored Social Settlement, Washington, D. C. "My Dear Mr. Washington: I beg to acknowledge your letter of October 10th informing me of my election by unanimous vote to membership upon the Board of Trustees of the Social Settlement and to the presidency of that board. The honor which the members of the Board of MR. ROSCOE C. BRUCE, Trustees have thus conferred upon me I appreciate very deeply. I accept the responsibilities involved with clear realization of their scope and gravity but with joy. I shall serve the Board of Trustees to the best of my abilities. We are all elated at the election of Mr. Bruce to the position and feel that not a better man could have been obtained. Mr. Bruce has an opportunity to build up a great work. He has the influence and the executive ability to do so. Dr. Francis had built up a very enthusiastic work and it needs just such a man as Mr. Bruce to carry it out. The Colored Social Settlement is $ \pi $ growing work and it will not grow unless we have a man who is energetic and who will not allow it to decline. We feel that Mr. Bruce has these essentials and, although he is a busy man, yet his energies can be used to good advantage in having other men and women to follow in the direction of his suggestions. We can now say that Mr. Bruce's influence reaches into all phases of life of the colored people of this city. The Bee considers that we have a worthy successor to Dr. John R. Francis. Fall Rally at Galbraith. Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church opened its fall rally last Sunday. The services morning' and night were largely attended. Sunday morning, October 19, the pastor, Dr. Corrothers, will deliver a special sermon upon the subject, "The Duty of the Church, in the Light of Modern Civilization." Monday night, October 20, the Yale Orchestra will give a sacred concert, after which all of the Governors, representing the several States of the Union, will make their reports. A petition will be presented to the people for signatures protesting against the race discrimination on the part of the Wilson administration. The public are cordially invited. Successful Revival There is a very successful revival meeting being held by Rev. W. H. Dean, pastor of Ebenezer M. E. Church, Fourteenth and D Streets Southeast, in his church. The revival was launched last Sabbath and there are twenty-nine converts to date. The meeting will continue three weeks. Rev. Dean is the most successful minister to occupy the Ebenezer pulpit. To Rev. Jesse A. Taylor, Pastor Emanuel Baptist Church, Garfield, D. C., and Volunteer Probation Officer of the Police Court—Address of Attorney W. C. Martin. On Wednesday evening, the 1st instant, the citizens of Garfield and Garfield Heights, D. C., tendered Rev. Jesse A. Taylor, pastor of the Emanuel Baptist Church a testimonial in recognition and as a public expression of their high appreciation of the valuable service which, for nearly three years, he has rendered as volunteer probation officer of the District Police Court. Despite the threatening weather, a large audience was present. After the scriptural reading by Rev. C. H. Hillery, presiding elder of the C. M. E. Church, prayer was offered by Rev. G. W. Maury, pastor of the East Washington Heights Baptist Church (white). Rev. Taylor introduced Attorney W. C. Martin, who had been specially invited to deliver the principal address. In discussing his subject, "The Importance of Prompt and Faithful Discharge of Duty," Mr. Martin said in part: In talking to you this evening I shall do so with special reference to duty as that which a person is bound by a moral obligation to do, or refrain from doing; that which he ought to do; service; moral obligation; hence, assigned service or business, such as that which, for nearly three years last past, the energetic pastor of this church has so conscientiously and satisfactorily performed as the volunteer probation officer of the District Police Court. After discussing at some length the character of the cases that had been assigned to Rev. Taylor as volunteer probation officer, by the judges of the Police Court, and the efficient manner in which he had performed his duty by constant personal visits to the homes of those placed in his charge, as shown by his report made to the court, the speaker further said: "The mystery of our being; the necessity of constant action; the relation of cause to effect; the dependence of one thing upon another; the mutual influence and affinity of all things, assure us that life is for a great and noble purpose to which every outward thing points. "On our voyage through life, daily confronted as we are by many who by gross misrepresentations, unjust and un-Christian methods seek to retard our industrial, intellectual and moral progress, we should not, we must not shirk the duty we owe to each other; to those in lawful authority, and to our many fair-minded, unprejudiced, big-hearted, Christian white friends, men and women, who have heretofore, who are now, and who will willingly continue to encourage and help us as long as we demonstrate our worth as citizens and an integral part of the body politic, and make a real laudable effort to help ourselves. "Of the well-bred, high-toned, intelligent, justice-loving men and women of the white race, the men and women of the colored race need have no fear. To such you can confidently look for assistance and encouragement; and, whether in the halls of the federal Congress, or in the State Legislatures, on the hustings, or in those places where your complexion is a bar to your presence, in obedience to their true, Christian spirit and consciences, and their innate love of justice and humanity, they will rise up and speak for and defend you against the unwarranted attacks and abuse, gross misrepresentations and unreasonable prejudice of the Vardamans, the Bleases, the Rodenberrys and the Tillmans, and that irresponsible demagogues and "small fry" who believe in their nefarious mouthings, and who, by reason of their narrow-mindedness and inordinate eagerness to show and proclaim their senseless prejudice and hatred, have added, and are adding, nothing to the sum total of the great commercial, mental and social progress of the white race. "I here and now most solemnly inform you that the colored race in this country is now passing through the most crucial period of its existence, and if we hope to pass safely over our present sea of trouble, we must not drift, but steer. Every man, every woman of the race should be up and doing. Each has duties to perform. In the industrial, educational and commercial fields there is plenty of arduous, yet useful and profitable, work for all. There is no room and this is not the time for idlers and loafers, walking nuisances, pestential gas-bags, and builders of aircastles. Every one should form the solemn purpose to make the most and the best of the powers which Nature's God has given him, and to turn to the best possible account every outward advantage within his reach. "In nothing perhaps does childhood more distinctly differ from manhood than in the fact that the child has no purpose, no plan of life, no will to direct his energies. He lives, in a great measure, to enjoy the passing scene, and to find his happiness in fanciful, pleasing, agreeable consciousness, which, from day to day, come to him by chance. Whenever (Continued to page 4.) CUBAN POLITICS IN CHAOTIC SHAPE ENEMY OF DEMAGOGUES Ability to Get Jobs Valuable Asset on the Island—Former President Gomez, Popular With the Masses, Not Adverse to Serving Again—Conditions Are Summed Up In Nutshell, Havana, Cuba.—Many in close touch with the ins and outs of Cuban conditions, political and commercial, believe the republic faces the most serious problem since the American flag was lowered from the national palace. It will require skilled diplomacy, political craft and a firmness yet unknown in Cuban affairs to bring about a stable solution. It is generally believed that President Menocal is strong enough to title his administration over, but it is also conceded that he has a strenuous proposition on his hands. He is apparently trying to give an honest and capable administration, opposite to what many politicians and their adherents want. The successful politician in Latin America, especially Cuba, is he who can provide the most jobs for his constituency. Ability to get jobs is a valuable political asset. The average hemanch knows but little and cares less about matters of state. He wants to get on the government payroll, and he doesn't relish any position that requires much physical exertion. Briefly, Cuba at present faces conditions that might be subdivided into four parts: First.—A chaotic political condition and the attempt of professional politicians and those who crave power to overthrow the influence of and discredit the Menocal administration. Second.—The action of congress in refusing to accede to the wishes of the president and temper the "immunity clause" of the constitution so that its members would not be entirely immune from civil courts. Third.-The recent presidential decree that dissolved the Ports Company of Cuba and annuled millions of invested foreign capital, which may serve to cheapen the commercial integrity of the republic with foreign investors. Fourth.-The recently enacted military retiring law, by which nearly 100 army officers have been retired and which political factions have seized upon for campaign material to stir up discontent in the army. Cuban politics probably has not been so thoroughly stirred up and disorganized since President Taft and Dr. Alfredo Zayas overthrew the Estrada Palma administration and set up the government of 1900. The last presidential election shattered the Liberal party. The "patriotic conjunction," composed of Conservatives and "Assertistas," exiles from all parties, elected Menocal. His inauguration in turn shattered the Conservatives, so that now he might be called a president without a party. It is generally conceded that the party is broken up beyond reorganization. The last conference of the leaders resulted in widening factional breaches, and Dr. Enrique Jose Verona, vice president of Cuba and president of the Conservatives, was called upon to resign the leadership. The row among the Conservatives was brought about by the apparent honesty of Menocal. They wanted the "rascals turned out" and themselves ensconced in political jobs. The "Asbertistas" also wanted a pro rata of jobs for their part in the "patriotic conjunction." Instead of listening to party clamor, Menocal set about presiding in a business way. Where a man of opposite faith was efficient he was retained in office. This policy was also adopted by Colonel Charles Hernandez, the new postmaster general. This line of official, conduct could not be reasoned out by the politicians; consequently the howl they raised could be heard from one end of the island to the other. A senator from an interior province, soon after Menocal took office, sent one batch of fifty men to Colonel Jose Villalon, secretary of public works, saying they were his political allies, and asked that they be provided with government jobs. The refusal of congress to temper the "immunity clause," which allows members to slay and pillage without fear of civil courts, was a slap at the president. This wrangle grew out of the killing of General Armando de J. Riva, chief of the national police. Under this clause the expressed consent of congress must be obtained to allow civil prosecution, but public opinion was so strong that congress consented to the trial of Senator Morales and Representative Arlas, but refused to further modify it. President Menocal used his strong influence and sought to wield the "big stick," but congress simply "set down in harness" and asked, "What are you going to do about it?" Anti-administration forces rallied to congress and prevented a quorum, and the president was left high and dry. In the meantime the hearing continues. "Deaf Mutes" on the Run. Sacramento, Cal.-Motorcycle Policeman Brown chased a couple on another motorcycle eighteen miles the other night. When Brown overtook them and began a lecture on the evils of speeding, the man pulled out a pad and wrote. "We are deaf mutes and thought you were a robber." NEW DEFENSE FOR QIBSON. Attorney Announces He Is to Be Tried Again in Szabo Case. Goshen, N. Y.—Burton W. Gibson, who has been tried twice by Orange county jurists on the charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Rosa Menschik Szabo on Greenwood lake on July 16, 1912, will soon be tried again. Robert H. Elder, his 'attorney, said that District Attorney J. D. Wilson, Jr., of Newburg, intended placing Gibson on trial for a third time at the term of the supreme court to convene in Goshen in the latter part of October. He said he would be Gibson's attorney again and that Henry Kohl of Newburg and Jacob J. Singer of Jersey City would be associated with him. A conference will be held by Gibson's lawyers, when the case will be discussed in detail. Mr. Elder said an entire new defense would be entered at the third trial, which, in his opinlon, would be more favorable to Gibson than the defense in either of the two trials in which the jurors disagreed. Gibson is in good health. He exercises daily with dumbbells. AVIATOR LOOPS THE LOOP. French Aeroplanist Turns Somersault in the Air With Safety. Juvial, France.-A French aviator named Pegoud "looped the loop" while flying at a height of 1,500 feet in his aeroplane. He afterward descended without injury. Pegoud, who recently caused a sensation by dropping safely from an aeroplane with a parachute, had announced that he intended to turn a somersault in the air with his aeroplane, and his movements after his ascent were followed closely by a large body of observers. When Pegoud had reached a height of about 3,000 feet he turned the nose of his machine straight toward the earth and darted downward with his motor working at full power. After plunging about 1,200 feet with frightful velocity Pegoud changed the position of his rudder and caused the aeroplane to turn a complete vertical circle. The machine then glided down in a huge spiral volplane and allighted gently on the ground. FIRST WIFE'S SPIRIT IN PLOT, HE ASSERTS Advised Him to Transfer Property to No. 2, Veteran Says. St. Louis.-Stephen F. Garlock's determination to expose an alleged conspiracy between his wife of the flesh, Mary, and the materialized spirit of his first wife, was revealed when he started an action for a divorce. He is sixty-nine years old and a civil war veteran. His principal charge is that his wife invigored him into a spiritualistic seance and there called up the spirit of his dead wife, who advised him to transfer his real estate to the living wife. The petition does not set out in detail all that transpired at the seance. It recites that when he refused to sign away his property as directed by the spirit of his first wife the second wife, in the presence of all the real and materialized spirits, called him "an uneducated, unrefined and ignorant fool," causing him great humiliation. It was through the influence of a daughter by his first marriage that he was prevented from signing the deed, according to Mr. Garlock. The petition alleges that, failing to get his property in this way, Mrs. Garlock persuaded him to give a note to her for $500, secured by deed of trust on real estate, and that a week later she had the locks on the doors of his room changed and bolted him out. BASEBALL BY WIRELESS. Service Given to Sailors In Navy Is a Great Success. Washington.—The United States aerial "news service," whereby officers and men on United States warships far out at sea are kept informed each night of the baseball scores and other items of interest, has proved a great success. Reports to the navy department from the battleship Illinois, which has just returned to home waters with a big party of midshipmen, declare that the reports were picked up readily by the vessel when it was 2,175 nautical miles out at sea from the navy's powerful station at Arlington, Va., and 2,610 miles distant from the station at Key West. The battleship also reported intercepting wireless messages from European stations. OLD COLLIER FOR SALE. Was a Merchant Ship Purchased For Use in Spanish War. Washington.-The collier Alexander, one of the many merchant ships purchased for the Spanish-American war, has been stricken from the naval list and is for sale. The vessel was built in England in 1894, is a steel schooner of 1,181 tons displacement, 848 feet long and forty-two foot beam and is fitted out with 1,000 horsepower vertical triple engines. For some years past the Alexander has served as a fuel ship for the Asiatic fleet. At present she is lying off Olongapo, Philippines. TO RECORD HEART ACTION ON FILM Hope to Ascertain Guilt of Accused Man. USE ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH. Prisoner Caught Through Confession Made by Ally When He Thought Death Was Near—Crime Fourteen Years Old—Believe Instrument Will Tell True Story of Killing. Omaha, Neb.—As the result of a confession made by another man on what he supposed was to be his deathbed Charles Kotf of Vallejo, Cal., is to be brought back to Nebraska and tried for the murder of Julian Buhuard, a miner, of Julian, Neb., fourteen years ago. On a charge of being implicated in the same crime Fuller Shellenberger of Burlington, Kan., also will be tried, the prosecution being based on the confession, made when he thought he was dying, last July after being prostrated by heat. In questioning Koff about the murder the authorities will use a very delicate instrument known as the electrocardiograph, which records on a motion picture film the electric impulse generated by the human heart under the stress of emotions. Evidence thus recorded would not be admitted during a trial of a person for murder, but the record will be valuable for scientific reasons. There are only five electrocardiographs in America; four being in the east and the one to be used on Koff being at the University of Nebraska. The instrument records the heart's fluctuations through a fiber so delicate it cannot be seen by the naked eye. The movement of the fiber is therefore passed through a small telescope, and by the aid of an electric arc lamp its shadow is recorded on the film. The instrument was invented by Professor Elthoven of Leeden, Holland. According to Shellenberger's confession, Buhuard kept his money in a tin can, which was cut open with a hatchet after the aged miner had been slain. In removing the money from the can, Shellenberger says, Kotf cut one of his hands so badly on the jagged tin that a scar was left and may be seen today. In examining Kotf the authorities will show him a can like the one described by Shellenberger and without letting him know Shellenberger has made a confession will refer to things of which Shellenberger apoke concerning the crime. Scientists say he may be able to control his facial expression and appear perfectly calm, but that the electrocardiograph nevertheless will record the telltale variations in the beating of his heart as he hears or looks upon things associated with the murder. Shellenberger has repudiated his confession, saying he was delirious when he made it. He is in a Nebraska jail, however, and must face trial. Kott has been employed at the Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco for the last nine years. After Shellenberger confessed detectives took up Kott's trail and arrested him. SEES WILSON ON TOY MAIL. Philadelphia Girl Asks Him to Back Plan to Befriend Children. Washington.—President Wilson granted an interview to Miss Olive May Wilson, the seventeen-year-old girl from Jenkintown, a suburb of Philadelphia, who came to Washington to ask public men to indorse her project for sending toys through the malls next Christmas to 5,000 destitute boys and girls of Philadelphia. Miss Wilson told the president of her ambition to develop the mall distribution of toys into a national undertaking, and Mr. Wilson promised to consider her plan before officially indoring it as president. She has already obtained the support of Vice President Marshall. FRIGHT CURES HIS ACHES. Rheumatism Vanishes When Horse Has Tall Snatched Off. Baraboo, Wls.-A team belonging to Floyd Townsend was driven near a thrashing machine in Montfort, and when the horse nearest swished his tall at the files the appendage was drawn into the machine, and every hair was pulled out. William Bowers, the driver, was thrown from the load and narrowly escaped death when the animal plunged. Christopher Neuroth, aged and bent with rheumatism, was on the rear of the load and when the excitement was over stood straighter than he had for years. His rheumatism was gone. $650,000 NECKLACE SOLD. Famous Pearls to Be Brought to This Country. London.—The Brussels Telegram states that Max Mayer's famous $650,000 pearl necklace has been purchased by Count de Monteau on behalf of another person and that the count is about to sail for America with the necklace. The necklace was lost recently and was picked up in the street by a workman, who was so ignorant of its value that he tried, to sell one of the pearls for a glass of beer. SAYS WHALEY BOUGHT SEAT. Mayor Grace of Charleston Accesses South Carolina Representative South Carolina Representative. Washington.—John P. Grace, mayor of Charleston, S. C., has filed with Speaker Clark a sensational petition under oath in which he charges that Representative Richard S. Whaley, democratic member of congress from the first South Carolina district, bought his seat, alleging that during the campaign. Mr. Whaley 'spent $60,000. Mayor Grace demands that the right of Mr. Whaley to retain his seat be investigated and that expulsion follow if charges are substantiated. The federal campaign publicity law prohibits the expenditure of more than JOHN H. REPRESENTATIVE WHALEY. $5,000 by a candidate for congress in any campaign. According to Grace's charge, Mr. Whaley spent an average of $10 for every vote he received. The petition was referred to the house elections committee. Mr. Whaley has denied every charge. He asserts that he never had $60,000 in all his life. This is the first time that a statement of any candidate for congress filed under the campaign publicity acts has ever been questioned. BAG 80,000,000,000 GERMS FOR SCIENCE Professors Bring Them Back as South American Curiosities. Baltimore—Having bagged $0,000,000,000 malignant germs in the wilds of Ecuador and Peru, Dr. Andrew Watson Sellards of Johns Hopkins university and his associates have landed their prey in this country and forthwith will proceed to make a scientific study of the creatures at short range. His colleagues were Richard B. Strong, Dr. E. E. Tyzzer and Dr. Charles Brues, all of Harvard university, and Miss Nora Dwyer. Miss Dwyer was a noncombatant and, it is said, did not participate in the actual warfare on the germs. She was the secretary of the expedition and later on was intrusted with the guarding of the captives. Among the S0,000,000,000 germs are pellagra, oroya fever, yellow fever, bubonic plague, typhoid fever, a collection known as uta, which is really South American leprosy, and the dreaded blackwater fever. The germs, all carefully crated, were admitted to the United States as "South American curiosities" and were shipped to Harvard college. MINIMUM WAGE IN OREGON. Not Less Than $9.25 Nor Over Fifty Hours Weekly For Women. Portland, Ore.-The industrial welfare commission of Oregon has adopted a ruling which will become a law Nov. 23, fixing a minimum wage of $9.25 a week for adult women clerks who are not apprentices, defining eight hours and twenty minutes as the maximum day's work and fifty hours as the maximum for a week and making 6 p. m. the latest hour at which any woman may be employed on any day of the year in a mercantile establishment. The order automatically eliminates Saturday night shopping and Christmas holiday night shopping in such establishments. SOCIETY WOMEN ON JURY. Judge Draws Panel From the Blue Book and Social Register. Chicago.—Judge John E. Owens got down the Blue Book and the Social Register and drew a jury of women whose names frequently appear in the society columns to sit in the court for the insane. Only one of them had ever served on a jury. In one case they heard the story of an old woman who, because her mind was beginning to weaken, was not wanted any more in the home she had occupied for many years. At first very shy before so many fashionably dressed women, she found it hard to talk when the judge questioned her. INCOME TAX HAS VERY WIDE SCOPE All Who Get $3,000 or Over a Year Taxable. WILL PUNISH ALL DODGERS. Government Requires That All of the Returns Be Made Under Oath—Extent of the Law Is Broad—All Who Are Liable and Fail to Make Payment Will Be Fined. Washington.—It now behooves all those with an income of more than $3,000 a year to lay a hand upon a furrowed brow and try to find out how they are going to pay the income tax to the government and what will happen to them if they do not. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who framed the income tax bill, issued a statement intended to help the taxable persons, and the internal revenue bureau of the treasury department is already at work on a set of instructions which will be issued later. In the first place, the law about to go into effect includes within its scope all citizens of the United States residing at home or abroad, all persons living in the United States though not citizens thereof and all net incomes from property and business owned or carried on in the United States by aliens. In every case a deduction of $3,000 is allowed for living expenses. In the case of a husband who is living with his wife or a wife who is living with her husband an additional $1,000 exemption is allowed, so that all told, a married person is entitled to an exemption of $1,000. Only one $4,000 deduction, however, is to be allowed from the aggregate income of both husband and wife. Under ordinary circumstances incomes are to be computed for the calendar year. In the case of the present J. Photo © by American Press Association. CORDELL HULL. year, however, the tax is to be computed only on that portion of the income accruing from March 1 to Dec. 31 next. The treasury department is preparing blank forms, which will be distributed by the district internal revenue collectors to each taxable person. If you fail to get such a blank you are required under a penalty to apply to the collector or his deputy for one. Blanks will be on deposit with postmasters for the convenience of taxpayers. Every taxable person is to fill out and return one of these blanks to the internal revenue collector of his district before Jan. 1 and March 1 next. The taxpayer must fill out under oath a true and accurate statement of his income of $3,000 or more for the calendar year. This return shall set forth specifically the gross amount of income from all separate sources, and from this total shall be deducted the aggregate items of the expenses and allowances authorized under the law. Any taxpayer who fails to make a return on or before March 1 will be liable to a penalty of not less than $20 nor more than $1,000. If his return is fraudulent it will be a misdemeanor, and he will be subject to a fine of $2,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. Each taxpayer will be notified by the internal revenue commissioner by June 1, 1914, of the amount of the tax due from him, and the payment must be made by June 30 following. In the event of failure to pay the tax by June 30 and after ten days' further notice 5 per cent will be added to the amount of the tax and interest at the rate of 1 per cent a month from the time the tax falls due. Exceptions are made in regard to penalties in the cases of incomes from the estates of insane, deceased or insolvent persons. In the case of neglect or refusal to make returns or in case of false returns the commissioner of internal revenue may make such return himself any time within three years of the date when the return was due. EDISON LOOKS INTO FUTURE. Cement Roads, Cheaper Auto Tires and Reprinted Newspapers and Reprinted Newspapers. Boston.—Thomas A. Edison was asked what in his opinion would be the next improvement in automobiling. He replied: "Cement roads. I believe that in ten years cement roads will band the country from one end to the other to the exclusion of all other kinds." Mr. Edison does not believe there is need of a substitute for rubber for tires. He said: "Rubber trees are being planted in the tropical countries. A vast amount of capital is going into rubber tree farms. Eventually there will be a great influx of rubber harvested from them. I am told by manufacturers of automobiles that rubber should be cheaper today than a year ago. They expect rubber to go down." Asked what improvements could be expected in newspaper making in the next decade, he replied: "Something to save paper. If noncarbonized inks were used—inks that would bleach—papers could be run through the presses again by the aid of an invention or two and be used several times. It's bound to come to a proposition of this kind. Inks that will bleach will be used." MISS WILSON INTERCEDES. Has a Postoffice Rule Waived to Please a Little Blind Girl. Washington.-The little blind daughter of Mall Carrier Sherry at Mandale, O., may ride, with her father over his rural free delivery route, although a postoffice regulation expressly forbids it, because Miss Jessie Wilson, the president's second daughter, interceded for the child and got Postmaster General Burleson to issue a special permit. Jessie Columbia, thirteen years old, of Cleveland, spent her vacation this year with her grandfather, the postmaster at Mandale and saw the blind girl's plight. She wrote Miss Wilson of how little Miss Sherry longed to ride on her father's mall cart, and an appeal to the postmaster general was followed by an order waiving in this case the regulation which forbids that any one but a carrier shall ride on a mall wagon. BIG VICTORY FOR LOVERS OF BIRDS Democratic Caucus In Senate Restores Protection. Washington. Action of the Democratic caucus in the United States senate, in voting to withdraw the amendment previously adopted to the bird protecting clause of the tariff bill, and to restore the measure as it was written by the house committee, is taken by those who have been waging the fight against the "feather trade" as a certain and complete victory for the friends of wild bird life. The new tariff bill will prohibit the importation of wild birds' plumage for commercial purposes, no matter from what country they come, and will abolish in the United States and all its territorial possessions the traffic in skins and feathers of slaughtered wild birds. Among the senators who worked in behalf of this measure are Senators McLean, Chamberlain, Lane, who made an aggressive stand in the caucus fight of Tuesday; O'Gorman, Hitchcock, John Sharp Williams, Gore, Bryan, Bacon, Shively and others. This campaign was inaugurated and managed by the New York Zoological society and National Association of Audubon Societies. Immediately it attracted the support of national and state federations of women's clubs, the State Audubon societies, many patriotic societies of women, the Women's League For Animals and other organizations and free lance leaders. The number of personal letters written to members of congress in this campaign was enormous. It is estimated that 100,000 would be under rather than above the mark. The plan is now to carry the fight to England, Germany and France. 2.294 SEALSKINS. Many Silver Fox Furs Are Also Brought From Alaska. San Francisco--The steamer Homer, under charter to the United States government, has arrived from the Pribilof islands and Unalaska with a cargo of 2,294 sealskins and thousands of foxskins, including a large number of rare and costly skins of the silver fox. The United States exercises a guard fanship over the northern group of islands. In accordance with foreign treaties, and to pay the cost of guarding the seals from poachers the government is permitted to kill a certain number of seals and foxes each season for the skins. The steamer Homer makes two trips a year to the islands to take in supplies and bring out the furs. Drops Dead as He Predicted Atlantic City.—Early in August George Rappelyea, a hotel man, told friends he had had a premonition he would expire from heart trouble. He wound up his affairs, so firmly was he convinced. Then Rappelyea fell from a chair in the Hotel Columbia while talking with his son. A physician declared heart disease had caused instant death. ERRORS OF DEATH-BED REPENTANCE Sins of a Lifetime Cannot Be Gotten-Rid of by a Prayer. A MISUNDERSTOOD TEXT. It Has Encouraged Sinners to Continue In Sin—It Is Folly to Think That the Murdered Sinner Goes to Eternal Torment, While the Murderer, Because of a Death-Bed Prayer, Is Called to Heavenly Glory—A Misplaced Comma Led to the Error—In Conjunction With Other Errors. Brooklyn, N. X. October 12—Pastor Russell delivered an address here today, taking for his text Jesus' words to the dying thief, "Verily I say unto thee this day, thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43.) He declared that few of the Master's Brooklyn, N. X. October 12 — Pastor Russell delivered an address here today, taking for his text Jesus' words to the dying thief, "Verily I say unto thee this day, thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43.) He declared that few of the Master's words had been so misunderstood as has this text, and that few had produced so terrible a fruitage of sin. The influence of the text, the Pastor declared, is greatly increased by the unscriptural thought that the dying slinner passes into everlasting torture. Those under the spell of that false doctrine cannot be reproved for wishing to escape from its terrifying influence. As the drowning man grasps at a straw, so those whose hopes for their dead are being held up by this error, grasp at the narrative of the thief, and hope that their departed experienced a momentary repentance said "Jesus, forgive me" and straightway was carried to Paradise. The absurdity of the proposition is crowded out by the mingling of the hope with their love for the deceased. Well do I remember conducting a funeral service which was interrupted by the walls of the widow. The husband had been shot by an assassin's bullet in a distant mining region. He had died not being a member of a church, and by no means a salent. The poor widow's walls. I afterward learned, were caused by the thought that, not having had a moment's warning, the murdered man had failed to say, "God forgive me," and thus to gain Paradise. Who can blame the poor woman for the absurdity of her reasoning? Had she not been taught so to think by all the great creeds of Christendom? Had not her husband and herself been taking that very chance of having a moment for repentance before expiring? It is a shame that this wrong thought has been so long allowed to keep people back from making their peace with God in earlier life. Repentance Always Proper. I Let me not be misunderstood. I would not discourage a death-bed repentance, or any other. I would, however, have fixed rules of Divine Justice which forbid us to think that there is a hell full of unfortunates who died suddenly, with no opportunity for repentance; that there is a Heaven full of lucky murderers, thieves and vagabonds, who were carried to glory without any real change of heart, or character, but merely as a reward for momentary prayer. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Whoever sows a life of sin and self-Indulgence will not reap glory, honor and immortality, but a more deprived disposition than that with which he was born. The Dying Thief's Prayer. The supposition that the dying thief asked to go to Heaven with Jesus as a reward for a few kindly words is a mistake. The supposition that Jesus promised that he would go to Heaven that same day is also a mistake. Jesus did not go to Heaven that day. Instead, He went to the Bible hell—Hades, Sheol, the tomb. He remained dead, St. Peter tells us, until the third day, when God raised Him from the dead by Divine Power. It was after His resurrection on the third day that He appeared to Mary and said, "I have not yet ascended to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God." John 20:17. The Bible tells that Paradise was lost through Adam's sin, six thousand years ago; that it is to be restored as a result of Jesus' death; and the time of its restoration will be during the thousand years of Messiah's Kingdom. Since there was no Paradise when Jesus died, He could not have meant that the thief would be there with Him that day. The claim made by Jesus was that He was to be a King. The thieves had heard Pilate's question, "Art Thou a King, then?" They had heard Jesus' reply, that to this end was He born. But He added, "My Kingdom is not of this Age." The thief caught the thought that the grand, kingly character beside him was probably the Messiah, the King of Israel. How to explain the circumstances of that dark hour he knew not, but he defended Jesus. Then with a measure of hope he said, "Lord, when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom, remember me." In other words, I believe that you are a King, and that somehow you will yet have a Kingdom. I have sufficient faith to ask you to grant a poor thief a blessing when you reach that Kingdom. Mingjuan of Germany, Francis. Misplacement of Comma by Translators. Jesus' reply should be carefully studied. *In substance it was, Poor thief, I appreciate your words; and when My Kingdom shall be established, I will remember your kindness and will reward it. Notwithstanding this dark day with its unfavorable setting, I am really a King, and these experiences are necessary for Me, that I may enter into My Kingdom. Thus Jesus said, Be it as you have asked—I will remember you when I come into possession of My Kingdom. "Verily I say unto you this day, thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." The difficulty has been with the wrong thought of the translators, and the misplacement of the comma. Punctuation is a modern convenience in all languages. There is none in the original Scriptures. The translators put the comma where they thought it should be, but evidently they made a great mistake. It would be thoroughly inconsistent to say that Jesus went to Paradise, when He had not yet ascended to the Father, and when the promised Paradise is to be established in the earth after the Second Coming of Christ, as a result of His Millennial Reign—Revelation 21:4-5. Placing the comma where we have done leaves the passage thoroughly in accord with all the Bible. That passage, properly understood, leaves not a shadow of Scriptural support to the thought that a prayer a moment before death would change the everlasting destiny of anybody. Both Thieves In Bible Hell. Let us get back to the Bible. Let us get rid of the foolishness of the creeds. Let us remember that a dead man is dead, as the Bible declares. "His sons come to honor, and he knewth it not; they come to dishonor, but he perceiveth it not of them." "There is neither device nor knowledge nor wisdom in Shool [Hades, the tomb], whither thou goest"—whither all go. But nothing in the Bible suggests that man dies in the same sense as the brute. There is no hope for a future life for the brute, but God's Word stands pledged for a future life for humanity. "There shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust." "All that are in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth." The Bible tells that unless Christ had redeemed the life of mankind by the sacrifice of His own life, there would have been no resurrection of the dead. But from the foundation of the world God purposed a resurrection; and that Jesus should, eventually be the Lamb of God, to take away the sin of the world. "As by a man [Adam] came death, by a man [Jesus] comes the resurrection of the dead; for as all in Adam die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive"—"every man in his own order"—1 Corinthians 15:21-23. Jesus Himself, we read, was the first to rise from the dead—to be fully released from the power of death. Lazarus, Jalrus' daughter, etc., were not resurrected in full, but merely awakened temporarily. They fell asleep in death again, and will have in their own due time the Divinely appointed opportunity for a resurrection. According to the Bible, the Church will be the next in order, and will have a resurrection to spirit-nature, similar to that of Jesus; hence the Apostle's desire to share in Christ's resurrection by having a share in His sacrificial death. "For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him."-2 Timothy 2:11. Next after the Church will come the resurrection of the Ancient Worthless, of whom John the Baptist was the last. Their resurrection was referred to by St. Paul in Hebrews 11, where he declares that "God has reserved some better thing for us [the Church], that they without us should not be made perfect." Each In His Own Order. St. Paul declares that in the resurrection every man will come forth in his own order, or band, or company. When the due time shall come for the awakening of the generation which crucified Jesus, quite probably both the thieves will come forth from death at or about the same time. Both thieves will receive the blessing purchased for them by the Redeemer's death—to be brought to a knowledge of the Truth, to be helped up out of ignorance, superstition, blindness — by rewards, stripes, punishments—if they will, to human perfection, lost in Adam, redeemed by Jesus. But there will be a difference between the conditions of the two thieves. Both will be in Paradise; for the whole earth is to be a Paradise. The hardened thief may have had a less favorable birth, or a less favorable environment in life. Only the Lord, the great Judge, is able to know how much excuse should be made for him and how much penalty should attach to him. The penitent thief will be much more favorably conditioned, not merely because he spoke some kindly words to the Master in His hour of tribulation, but especially because those words indicate that his heart was in a more just and tender condition. Additionally we are to remember that the Lord has especially promised that every good deed done to Himself, or any of His followers, shall receive a special reward. Any such sympathy or kindness would imply a condition of heart not far from the Kingdom; hence the promise of a special blessing for such good deeds bespeaks Divine recognition of principle and character. "There's a Widerness In God's Mercy, Like the Widerness of the Sea." It seems difficult to many to think of God's having a provision for the majority of our race in the future. Somehow the impression has gone abroad that everlasting destinies are fixed at death. The only text ever quoted in support of this thought is a statement that "where a tree fallleth there shall it lie." (Ecclesiastes 11.3). Sure enough, the fallleth tree cannot cause itself. And sure enough man fallen into death, is equally powerless. There he would be forever were it not for the Divine arrangement for his awakening by the Lord Jesus Christ. Many of us have been too free to believe that the penalty for sin may be entirely escaped by a simple word of prayer, and yet reversely have believed that there could be no forgiveness of sins after death. The only explanation of this persistent thought in the minds of the masses is that they were taught that destinies were fixed at death by the taking of the dying one over to a fiery Hell, or to a blazing Purgatory, or to a blissful Heaven. After all, in confusion did we not once say that everybody, for a time at least, would be brought out of Heaven, Purgatory and Hell to attend a Judgment scene—quite contrary to reason and the Bible—a Judgment to determine whether any mistake had been made in regard to who had Heaven, who had Hell and who had Purgatory? How foolish we have been—how stupid, how inconsistent, how unscriptural! "Every Knee Shall Bow." Now we see that the dead are simply sleeping until the Morning, when all the sleepers will be awakened by Him who died for all. Now we see that no changes take place in the moral status of the dead, nor in the Divine standards. He who forgives us our sins when we confessed them and forsook them is "the same yesterday, today and forever," and will be just as ready to forgive the world of mankind, when in due time He shall send them light and they shall believe and repent. Surely there is no more reason why a sinner could not be forgiven in the future than that a sinner could not be forgiven in the present. When sinners are forgiven now, it does not mean that they obtain full release from some proper penalty for their sins—sickness, sorrow, pain. Nor will the forgiveness of sins in the future Age mean that no stripes will be put upon the transgressors. Jesus distinctly tells us respecting that future Age that then those who have sinned against knowledge, light, will be punished with many stripes, while those who have sinned with less light will be punished with fewer stripes—Luke 12:47, 48. Take for example the son of the widow of Nain, or others of those awakened by our Lord. We know little respecting their relationship to God. This widow's son may have been a good man or a wicked man; but the fact that he had been awakened from the sleep of death by the Master would certainly work no injury to him afterward in the matter of forgiving sins for which he might repent. God's entire object in providing the Kingdom of Messiah and in restraining Satan and causing the knowledge of God's glory to fill the earth is to give mankind a better opportunity than is now generally enjoyed for repentance and reconciliation with Himself. Now, only the favored few can see, can hear, can understand. Then, all, from the least to the greatest, shall be brought to a knowledge of the Lord and His goodness, and unto Him eventually "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess." Judgment For a Thousand Years. Judgment For a Thousand Years. Now we see by the light of the Bible that good and bad, civilized and heathen, all go. at death, to the Bible hell—to Sheol, Hades, the tomb. Now we see that all are waiting for the glorious Morning, to be ushered in by the Second Coming of Jesus. Now we see that only the few have yet had the light and blessing which determines their everlasting destiny; that the overcomers of this Gospel Age will be associated with Jesus as spirit beings in the Kingdom, while the overcomers of previous times will be associated with the same Kingdom as its earthly representatives. In their cases only will the Divine judgment have been settled. The remainder of mankind, dying in more or less ignorance of God and His terms of acceptance of sinners, are to have their judgment, or trial, during the thousand years of Messiah's Kingdom. The willing and obedient shall be blessed and enter into life eternal. The disobedient, wilful sinner will die the Second Death. More Tolerable For Sodomites. Jesus, in speaking of that coming Judgment Day of the world, declared that the Sodomites will be there, as well as the people to whom He preached. And significantly He stated that it would be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum; for if the Sodomites had been privileged to enjoy the preaching of Jesus they would have repented in sackleth and ashes. From the Master's words we thus perceive how serious might be our misjudgments of the hearts of men. The people of Bethsaida, Chorazin and Capernaum were regular attendants of the synagogues—decent people, having a form of godliness, but knowing little or nothing of its power. They will have an opportunity also during the thousand-year Judgment Day of Messiah's Kingdom. If they will, they may then learn the lessons necessary and eventually attain everlasting life. But because of their greater privileges, the blessings they will enjoy in the future will be correspondingly curtailed; and it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for them. JEALOUSY AND ENVY PUNISHED. Numbers 12-Oct. 12. "Love entitle not; love countenance not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unselfy."—I Corinthians 12.1, 4. O'DAY'S Bible Study tells of a serious error made by Aaron and Miriam. Moses' brother and sister. That Miriam was the leading spirit is fully demonstrated by the outcome, which shows that God's punishment rested upon her, and not upon Aaron. Moses had married an Ethiopian. At this time she had come to live with him in the Camp, and thus became the first lady of the nation. Previously, Miriam had filled this office. It was but natural that she should feel the loss of her position, especially as she reflected that her sister-in-law was of an alien race. This fact seemed to give Miriam's jealousy a religious footing; and she undoubtedly convinced herself that her hostility to her sister-in-law was based upon a high moral ground, affecting God's honor and the future possibilities of Abraham's seed in the Promised Land. No good people can harbor jealousy, envy, etc., without deluding jealousy, envy, etc themselves into thinking that the peculiar circumstances of their case fully justify their attitude. T Miriam became convinced that God would not use especially one who had thus lost castle with herself. Her poisoned mind began to see erl- The Lord's Presence. gun to see evidences that the Lord had forsaken Moses, that otherwise he would not have made so great a mistake, as she thought. She communicated her fears to Aaron. The two doubtless prayed much respecting the sad fall of Israel's leader and the necessity laid upon them to make good his dereliction. Apparently Aaron was a weak character, merely used and useful as Moses' mouthpiece. He showed much weakness on this occasion, as also when he made the golden calf and assisted the people in their idolatrous worship. Miriam probably assented at that time that such was the only course to take to satisfy the rebellious people. The text implies that Miriam began to spread her insidious suggestions throughout the Camp. The people were to be prepared and the Lord helped, of course, by the primary suggestion that Moses was not the only leader of the people, that Miriam and Aaron were also prophets, in relationship with the Lord exactly as was Moses. This insidious preparation would make ready for the expected time when the Lord would disown Moses and speak through Miriam, Aaron being her mouthpiece. And the Lord Heard It. Suddenly the Lord called Moses, Aaron and Miriam into His presence before the Tabernacle. All three obeyed the summons, Miriam doubtless supposing that now the Lord would oust Moses as leader and appoint herself. The denouncement, however, was very different. God did. Andeed, declare that He had used Miriam and Aaron, but that His dealing with Moses was on a very much higher plane. To him the Lord had spoken directly, not through dreams and visions. Thus the ambitions which were the grounds of the jealousy and evil speaking God promptly set aside. Additionally the Lord gave a punishment. As the Divine presence departed, Miriam was smitten with leprosy. Aaron recognized this to signify that he had upheld his sister in a wrong course. To Moses he prayed for relief, acknowledging their sin and pleading for Miriam. Then Moses cried to the Lord. God heard him and healed Miriam, but directed that she be treated like others healed of leprosy. All such were required to remain seven days outside the Camp, to see that no further symptoms of the disease appeared. "The Law Was a Shadow." s that the various Israel under their Law Covenant were prophetic shadows illustrating things appertaining to Spiritual Israel. Thus leprosy, practically incurable, except by Divine interposition, was a type of sin; and the seven days of excommunication from the favored people represented a com- Law Covenant were prophetic shadows illustrating things appertaining to Spiritual Israel. Thus leprosy, practically incurable, except by Divine interposition, was a type of sin; and the seven days of excommunication from the favored people represented a complete period of tests respecting a putting away of sin, a cleansing, a return to harmony with God. The Golden Text is St. Paul's exhortation to the Church. The Church, we must remember, is that special class called out from humanity in general by the Gospel to become followers of Jesus. Their call is to sacrifice all earthly rights, and to be fully submissive to the Divine will in everything. Their Covenant is to be loyal to every principle of the Divine Program, under the headship of the Savior. This leaves no room for the works of the flesh or of the Devil. All these are to be put off, as displeasing to God. On the contrary, the fruits and graces of the Spirit are to be substituted, that ultimately Jesus' followers may attain to the fulness of Divine favor. Love represents the full character of God; for "God is Love." OLDEST UNIVERSITY FOUND. Ancient Tablets Prove One Existed in Ninopan Temple 3200, B. C. Philadelphia.—The discovery of the existence of the first temple of learning in the world, where the first exponents of the liturgical system congregated, has just been made by Professor Stephen Herbert Langdon, professor of Assyriology in Oxford, who is now investigating the Nippur collection of the University of Pennsylvania. The tablets were collected in three expeditions to Nippur, in the southern part of Babylons. "I have ascertained from my examination of the tablets that priests had a school in the temple at Nippur as early as 3200 B. C. and that this school existed about a thousand years," said Dr. Langdon. "To these priests is due the liturgical system which spread throughout Babylonia and Assyria and influenced Greece and Rome. They were exponents of a great university; the most important center of learning. I believe it was the first school of learning, and for that reason the University of Pennsylvania's collection, which discloses the presence of this university, is of the greatest value to scholars. "The discovery will establish more clearly in the minds of scholars the fact that the origin of religious orders existed in ancient antiquity and that a very important religious order existed at the temple near Nippur." "BLIND." SEES X RAY SKIRT. Test Eyes of Beggar W who "Rubbered" When Wearer of Gown Passed. Lima, O.-Scientific inquiry into the normal condition of the eyes of Thomas Kern, a begging "blind" man, has been ordered by Mayor Shook, following the alleged development in municipal court that Kern found little optical impediment in discerning the form of a woman in a diaphanous gown at an interurban depot. With a "Please Help the Blind" sign pinned across the front of his coat, darkened glasses over his eyes and a tin cup resting in his hands, Kern sat at the depot, an object of pity until, as the woman passed, he dropped his cup, snatched away his glasses, took a long "rubber" and then started to resume his pose, when a policeman ar-rested him. HAVEN FOR TRAMPS HAS FED 300,000 MEN "Turn No Hungry Man Away," Said Dying Millionaire. San Francisco, Cal.—"Turn no hungry man away from the Parrott home." On his deathbed John Parrott, a multimillionaire clubman of Hillsborough, solemnly laid the injunction on his wife that all who should come hungry to the house in the stately and ornate park which is one of the beauty spots of Hillsborough should receive food and shelter. That was in 1884, and since that time more than 300,000 tramps and wanderers and adventurers have received succor from Mrs. Parrott, who has held her husband's dying wish as a sacred trust. At one time twenty-five tramps were fed at the Parrott home. There is a porch at the back of the huge kitchen attached to the mansion which is used as the hoboes' dining room. There they may have hot meals in abundant quantity and of the best quality. For years Mrs. Parrott employed a special chef to cook for her wayfaring guests. She puts aside a large monthly allowance in her budget of household expenses to provide for them. They also are permitted to camp on the grounds, and sometimes fifty to a hundred men are gathered there. 78 GIRLS PROPOSE TO HIM. Heir to $25,000 a Year, Now a Cobler, Defers Choice, However. Brunswick, Gn.-Attracted by the story of Van Allan, a newspaper man who, after spending his first yearly allowance of $25,000, is now living the humble life of a cobbler, by which means he hopes to save enough money to get to Birmingham, where he will receive another allowance of $25,000 in February, seventy-eight girls have written letters to Allan proposing marriage. Allan came to Brunswick on his "uppers." He had been previously living a life of ease. He received a bequest of $25,000 a year for the remainder of his life, but his remittance falls due in February. He has not yet chosen his life partner. 120 YEARS TOO OLD TO WED. Register of Deeds In North Carolina Refuses Man Seventh License. Raleigh. N. C.-Declaring his age of 120 years too great for marriage. the register of deeds of Bladen county declined to give Joseph McIntyre his seventh marriage license. Mr. McIntyre has buried six wives. all of whom lived with him until death. The register declined to issue a license on the ground that the applicant was too old to take care of his prospective bride, who gave her age as eighty. She has been married four times. The couple walked two miles to the town to ask for a license. STUDIES PRISON FROM THE INSIDE TREATED JUST AS A CONVICT Gets the Same Fare and Dons Regular Prison Clothes—Is Bathed as He Enters and Assigned to Cell—Will Determine Effects of Prison Life on Mind. Auburn, N. Y.-Emulating the example of Governor Hunt of Arizona, who in March, 1912, had himself locked up with convicts to share their experience of prison life. Thomas Mott Osborne, chairman of the state commission for prison reform, has entered Auburn prison and is serving a self imposed sentence for the purpose of studying-the effect of discipline, food, labor and the general prison system on a convict's mind. Mr. Osborne entered the prison as any new convict would do, went J. B. THOMAS MOTT OSBORNE through the routine, such as being taken for a bath, a session with the prison barber and prison tailor, and went through the same grind as a convicted felon. In reply to a question he said he was ready to "take all his mediene" and would not balk at the dungeon should his conduct at any time justify his incarceration there. The results of the study are to be embodied in a report to be made by the commission that is studying prison reform with a view to legislation next year. Chairman Osborne spoke to the convicts in chapel and said in part: "As chairman of the commission on prison reform appointed by Governor Sulzer the superintendent of prisons and Warden Rattigan have kindly given me permission to carry out a plan to determine the psychological effect of the prison system on the prisoners. If sympathy and understanding from a vivid personal experience are desirable to studying, say, some foreign country, they are even more necessary in the case of a group of men set apart by society such as this prison community. For in your cases the conditions under which you live are more unnatural and less easy for most persons to grasp than those of a foreign country. "Moreover, most of the books that have been written about you by so called 'penologists' are written largely from the outside standpoint and with so little intelligent sympathy and vital understanding that few are of real value. They seem to be based on the assumption that the prisoner is not a human being like the rest of us, but is a strange sort of animal called a 'criminal', wholly different in his instincts, feelings and actions from the rest of mankind. "I want to find out whether our prison system is unintelligent; whether it files in the face of all common sense and human nature, as I think it does; whether, guided by sympathy and experience, we cannot find something far better to take its place, as I believe we can. "I am coming here to learn what I can at first hand. In the court of conscience I have been found guilty of having lived many years indifferent to and ignorant of what has been going on behind these walls and have been sentenced to a short term at hard labor in Auburn prison. I expect to begin serving my sentence this week and am coming here to live your life, to be housed, clothed, fed, treated in all respects like one of you. I want to see for myself exactly what your life is like—not as viewed from the outside in, but from the inside out." No Rent For Thirty Years. Columbus, Ind.-John Zimmerman, seventy-nine, known popularly as John Cinnamon, is dead here in a home he had occupied for thirty years without paying a cent of rental. Francis T. Crump, a capitalist, owner of the building, recently called on Zimmerman and mentioned the matter of rent, with the result Zimmerman said he had just repaired the roof and would call the rent bill squared. Crump received the bill. THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR. Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter.

And the increase at Cardozo School in Southwest has been proportionately large. These figures would indicate that trade schools are a real necessity. These schools are performing a twofold mission. In the first place, they are causing the discouraged student who has dropped out of school to re-enter upon his educational career. In the second place, it takes such students and trains them adequately in trades which will earn for them liberal livelihoods when they graduate. And, what is true of those who have dropped out of school applies with equal force to the young men and women who remain in school, but who, because of various reasons, are compelled to cut short their school life. In these trade schools they have found the opportunity which has not been afforded them before. Knewing that within a few years they will be compelled to leave school to become bread-winners, the students have found in these schools just the sort of curriculum which will give them a better standing in the world when they graduate with the expert knowledge of a trade. In these schools the students spend the majority of their five hours per day in the particular trade which the student has elected. One thing at a time and that well done is the idea which the authorities are seeking to stress in these schools. Experience has taught the officials the unwisdom of teaching a number of trades to a student—in fact, such a thing is impossible in the time allotted. It has been shown that in order to become efficient tradesmen or tradeswomen, a student must spend his time in one trade and one alone. The "Jack of all trades and good at none" idea is overcome by stressing one trade at a time for each student. As fast as a student has completed one trade he or she is permitted to elect another; but few are able to finish one trade in less than the two years allotted to the work. But, while the schools are stressing trade work, the academic needs of the students are in no way neglected. Each morning academic work is pursued by every student in the school. Besides stressing the English, mathematics and spelling in particular, attention is paid to academic work as it pertains to the trade which the students have elected. The remainder of the day is spent entirely in a particular trade work. The trade schools enroll students 14 years of age or over. In fact, persons of riper years are to be seen in these classes along with younger students—all bending their efforts to learn one thing well enough to bring them a livelihood when they graduate. Students already in the public schools are regularly transferred from their present schools to the trade schools. Many students who have dropped out of school have come back and are found in these schools busily engaged in trade work. At the O Street School, located on O Street between North Capitol and First Streets Northwest, classes are now going on in printing and carpentry for the male students and millinery, plain sewing and dressmaking for female students. Classes in cooking, basketry, chair caning and rug weaving will be formed as fast as there is demand for these trades from the students who enter the school. At the Cardozo School, located at First and I Streets Southwest, classes are conducted in carpentry, machine-shop practice, auto construction, brickmasonry, plastering and cement, work, sewing, cooking, dressmaking, tailoring, millinery, rug weaving and basketry. HARMONY' CEMETERY. HARMONY CEMETERY. The question of ownership of the grounds now controlled by the Columbian Harmony Cemetery is, we are informed by reliable authority, in a fair and entirely unexpected manner of receiving, at an early day, judicial settlement. This should be good news to all persons interested in Columbian Harmony Cemetery, as it will remove a cloud now hanging over the last resting place of departed dear ones. While this phase of the case is encouraging, there is another side which is decidedly unsatisfactory and that is the crude and unbusiness methods in vogue in the management of the affairs of the Cemetery. Notwithstanding there is provided, in the building recently completed on the cemetery grounds, a neat and commodious business office with an expensive steel fireproof vault intended for storage of valuable documents—historical and otherwise—belonging to the society it is for all practical purposes useless. The meetings of the society, when held, are called by John H. Cook, secretary. New and old work is recommended by John H. Cook, superintendent; bills are approved and paid. by John H. Cook, treasurer, and finally John H. Cook, as a member, votes on his transaction. Persons in quest of information from this personification of three in one will have to apply before breakfast or after supper at his residence or during office hours at the Pension Office. Nearly two thousand dollars, we understand, has been expended on an improved roadway (?)—improved by increasing the grade and making it more difficult for teams, both summer and winter. This was done in the face of constant complaints from leading undertakers in charge of funerals. With thousands of idle dollars at their command they allow to remain a public vault, that should have years ago been condemned by the Health Office as unsanitary and unfit for use. We have a direct line on those thousands idle dollars from whence they came, and how the rust has accumulated on them, which we propose at no distant day to lay before our readers. We also, intend to call upon certain members of the Columbian Harmony Society to explain the necessity of forming a pool to pay the expenses of a out-of-town member to be present in order to cast his vote for the interest at a special meeting! Alas if the contributors to that pool have been reimbursed; if so, did the money come from the society's funds? We are advised that the War Department intends calling for information touching the ownership of sites paid by the department for burial of unknown soldiers. Has any of these sites been re-sold? These and other equally important matters show the necessity of a house-cleaning in the management of Columbian Harmony Society. IT IS SO? "If you see it in The Bee it isn't so." This is from R. W. Thompson's correspondence to The Indianapolis Freeman. R. W. Thompson is a messenger in the office of the Supervising Architect. He has and is violating the Civil Service rule against writing political news for newspapers. Is not this so? He was on the pay roll of the Taft committee for weeks before the Republican National Convention. Is not this so? After Taft's first nomination he was on the pay roll of the Republican National Committee at $30 or $40 per week. Is this not so? All the time he was writing stuff condemning the Democrats and the very men now in power. Is this not so? All the time he was drawing pay from a political committee for writing political matter he was in the government service as a messenger or laborer. Is this not so? His writing political matter, and accepting money from a political party while in the government service, under the Civil Service classifications, was a violation of the Civil Service rules, punishable with dismissal. Is this not so? If the matter had been referred to the Civil Service Commission his dismissal would have been ordered. Is this not so? If the present officials had laid before them some of -Thompson's writing denouncing them they would dismiss him. Is this not so? R: W. Thompson has been carried and tolerated by some high friends who have tired of him. Is this not so? These are some things which you see in The Bee that are so. And The Bee has a few more things to tell about this messenger in the Architect's Office who has played both parties that will be true enough to say about them "IF IT APPEARED IN THE BEE IT WAS SO." The Bee will give Thompson's record from Jeffersonville, Ind., down to the beginning of this administration, and he will not dare to say it is not so and furnish proof. FRANCIS E. CARMODY The colored Republicans who supported the Democratic ticket in the State of Maryland last fall have a good opportunity to redeem themselves. They ought to be convinced now that the Democratic party is against the Negro and the entire race. The Maryland Republican platform guarantees equal school opportunities to all races, while the platform of the Democratic party is to reduce the school sessions to fewer months. The Bee again sends this warning to the colored voters of Prince George's County, Maryland, that if the Democratic candidate to the House of Delegates is elected, that candidate will vote to reduce the sessions of the colored schools. It is, therefore, important for every colored voter to vote the entire Republican ticket and to see that Mr. Francis S. Carmody is elected to the House of Delegates. The Bee knows Mr. Carmody. It knows the Democratic party in Prince George's County, and in fact the entire State of Maryland. The Bee sends this warning again to its colored Republican voters, to place no more confidence in the promises of the Democratic party. In the departments of the general government in this city colored men and women are segregated. Our educated daughters, sisters, mothers and fathers are regarded nothing more than common cattle. Let us therefore be not deceived again. See the entire Republican ticket of Prince George's County, Md., printed on the front page of this week's Bee and vote for it Tuesday, November 4th. Mr. Francis S. Carmody is the candidate for the House of Delegates. The Bee will tell you all about him next week and the entire ticket. COMMENDABLE ACT. It is certainly to be commended that there are so many young aspiring teachers in our system who are ambitious enough to want to acquire a collegiate degree. This desire on the part of so many of the teachers has resulted in the arrangement of the authorities of Howard University for the establishment of an extension course to be held at hours suitable to the several teachers. It now appears that there is some uncertainty concerning the tuition fee to be charged these students. The Bee is of the opinion that there should be some arrangement whereby these persons can peruse this course with the same charge of fees as those charged the day-students. It would be a reflection upon Howard if they throw a damper upon this effort of the public school teachers. The following resolutions were adopted by the board at its meeting held October 15, 1913, in an effort to bring about these relations of harmony and helpfulness. Naturalists say that barking dogs are harmless. The Bee bids its distinguished friend, ex-Register J. C. Napier, a good night, because he will return again. The Bee congratulates its good friend Thomas L. Jones, Esq., on his great speech in Virginia last Saturday night. Mr. Jones never fails to entertain his hearers. The Thomas testimonial is by the people and not by blacklegs and four-flushers. Mrs. Ricks should be supported in her worthy enterprise to rescue our girls. AFRO-AMERICAN METHODIST MINISTERS Or Chicago Send Protest to President Wilson Against Racial Segregation in the Government Service. (Special to The Bee.) Chicago, Oct. 7. At the regular meeting of the Methodist Ministers' Association of Chicago, composed of twenty ministers and representing a membership and attendance of 30,000, more than one-half of the colored population of Chicago, the following protest against jim Crowism by the Government was offered by Rev. A. J. Carey, D., pastor of the Institutional Church, where the meeting was held and was unanimously adopted: The Methodist Ministers' Association of. Chicago, protests against the segregation of Government employees by race and color, as is now being carried out in some of the departments at Washington. We also protest against the enacement of any laws curtailing in any way the rights of the Afro-American people. In the half-century which has passed since the immortal Lincoln gave to the world his edict of Emancipation the colored race has made good. From 3,000,000 slaves we have increased to 10,000,000 freemen. From dire poverty we have amassed a billion dollars in property. We started ill ignorance; now 70 per cent of the race can read and write. Colored men have achieved success in every walk of life. The valor and heroism of the race in every war for the defence of the country have been attested by history. Judged-from every angle by the best students of American citizenship we have won our right to a square deal. We feel that we ought to protest against an injustice to which no other group of American citizens has been subjected. The employees who are humiliated by this new and infamous segregation policy have won their places by competitive examinations and are mentally, morally and physically the equals of the other servants of the Government. To set them apart from those with whom they have worked harmoniously for many years, as if they were lepers, is a grievous wrong and unworthy of this great republic. These clerks and other employees dare not protest, they must suffer in silence or lose their places, so we who dare must protest for them and ask that you put an end to this illegal as well as unAmerican and un-Christian act. In your pre-election statement, Mr. President, you said that if you were elected the colored people could count on you for absolute fair dealing and we appeal to you because we feel very keenly the insult and contumely which has been heaped upon the race by the segregation orders of government officials. You have done what you could to save alien Japanese in California from humiliation and injustice; you have used your good offices to protect the rights of Jews in Russia and other European countries, and we believe that when you have carefully considered this matter as a Christian Statesman you will put an end to a condition which is intended to humiliate and degrade 10,000,000 American Christians. A resolution thanking Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, for his resolution of inquiry into government segregation and his general interest in the matter was adopted by a unanimous rising vote. JUVENILE COURT BUILDING Has Five Heating Plants—Judge Latimer, After Inspection, Is More Strongly Convinced of Need of a Modern Home. After an inspection Monday of the antiquated facilities for heating the dilapidated structure in which the Juvenile Court is forced to hold its sessions, Judge Latimer was more strongly convinced than ever of the immediate need of a new and modern home for the court, combined with the detention home for children. With the advent of cooler weather the new judge discovered that instead of one heating plant for the janitor to keep his eye on, there were no less than five. In the court room itself is a Latrobe, situated where it will do the least possible good, being away from the windows at the north end of the room. To make up for the total lack of heating arrangements in that end of the court room, an old oil stove, manufactured twenty-eight years ago, does its poor best to take the chill out of the atmosphere. An old hot-air furnace in the cellar is supposed to supply warmth for the halls and the clerks' offices. In weather that is' really cold it is necessary to have the office helped toward a fairly comfortable temperature by utilizing an old coal grate in the room. A similar grate is the only heating arrangement for the judge's chamber. SUPT. R. C. BRUCE Succeedes the Late Dr. John R. Francis, New Resident of the Social Settlement. Assistant Superintendent of Schools Roscoe C. Bruce of the public schools has been elected president of the Social Settlement to succeed the late Dr. John R. Francis. Mr. Bruce is one of the most energetic and progressive young men in this country and his election as president of the worthy institution meets the hearty approval of the people. It is quite evident that Mr. Bruce will take the same interest in pushing the work of the Social Settlement as his late predecessor did at the time he headed this worthy organization. His success as Superintendent of Public Schools has been fully demonstrated. The people are requested to come to his assistance and give him their un divided support. Public Men Ard Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I dropped into Jim Gray's alimentary canal refresher Monday evening and found a trio of pencil-pushers digging up reminiscences over a couple bottles of Blue Ribbon. They were bringing up queer, spectacular, and sensational incidents. One of them, to beat the others' stories, said the most sensational incidents he ever witnessed was at a funeral. He said in the course of the discourse the minister excoriated the husband of the deceased woman; right yonder there in church before everybody for neglecting his spouse for a "picherina." Then after he got to the graveyard he handed the recreatent hubby some more Texas leaguers. Just when the burial ceremony was over the aforesaid recreatent hubby attempted to reply to that there minister, whereupon the minister said to the friends around: "Come on, friends, the man is drunk." Most any other Laplander would have gone off and traded himself for a yeller pup and killed the pup, after that showing up by a minister right at a funeral, but this pencil-pusher said this particular species of humanity tried to show himself in the big league of respectability. Now that was sure enough a sensational and queer incident, and when the pencil-pusher got through every fellow ordered a sour for him as being the prize incident relator. Now, speaking about queer and sensational incidents reminds me that our own fillibuster, R. Wryday, is after Brother Chase again. He just naturally can't help digging at Chase, and when Chase wakes up from a reverie and hits his inshouts and spitballs to all parts of the lot, he lets out a howl and rushes to friends asking that they call the editor of The Washington Sting off. I like R. Wryday pretty well; he makes a pretty fair garnish for an unpitable dish, and that is why I'm going to offer him a bit of gratuitous advice. The advice is this. If you keep on barking at Chase's heels some of these mornings you will report at the office where they make plans and specifications and find a little adieu notice saying the government can worry along without your services for a few days. I don't know whether or not R. Wryday has a dollar or fourbills saved up to live on when they shake him from the payroll, but I'm just hinting to him that he'd better watch out or the gobblins 'll get him sure as pumpkins ripen soon as the first frost gets around. Better let Chase alone. Better let a sleeping dog rest. Better keep off of everybody, is my advice to everybody what's got one of those tenderloin records that can be X-rayed with a little history what's filed away in the Sting's archives. And I ain't going to remind you of the necessity of caring for your health no more. And when the pencil-pushers got through talking about queer and sensational incidents—excuse the digression, they fell to talking about Carolinians—every mother's son of them came from the red hills of John Dancy's State, and naturally had to throw bouquets at themselves and everybody what got borne in the tarheel State. But come to figure up results, that's a pretty hefty set, those North Carolinians, who perambulate around here. Every one of them has made good, and they all can recognize a dollar as far as they can see one, and they can hide a dollar from the general public as soon as they get their claws on it. Now, there's Clay Tyson, in spite of the fact that he has wanted to be a chief of a division or an auditor ever since he blew into this berg. He's a mighty industrious chap, just full of energy, aspirations, and every other kind of "ations." Clay ain't nobody's tallow candle. And course we all know Doc Williston, one of the best of his kind, a real simon pure good fellow with all kinds of friends, high and low. Doc. was nursed in old North Carolina. And of course John Dancy came from there. He couldn't come from any place else. And when you get to setting up pins what must be knocked down, why the first pin you lay your hands on is John Dancy, Old "Sleepy Hollow." Eleventh Street Holland, he too came from North Carolina, and let me remind you that gentleman is neither as slow or as sleepy as he looks. He knows how to hustle and save, and he knows how to mind his own affairs. John Howe came from the Wilmington riot State, and John is purple every day in the week, and don't you never forget it. If John had stayed down there, and the riot alarm had never been sounded, he'd today be one of the big guns in the South to reckon with. And there's that legal light, Armond Scott. John Goins and he came away about the same time, of a necessity, and forgot to return for a number of years. Armond has more than made good around here. Even Tom Jones will tell you that Armond keeps him from having a monopoly of police, court practice, and that house Armond's got shows you what the bug has saved. John Goins I don't believe has ever returned to North Carolina. John is one of them there old silence and fun fellows. Ain't got much to say, but thinks heap, and hustles much. John's making some hay, too, let me tell you. Doc. Norwood—another one of those quiet, easy-going fellows who don't overwork his tongue; he, too, came from the tarheel State, and he's some credit to it, take it from me. And "Barber Shop Chord" McMullen, he blew in here from North Carolina, too, and since he's been here he's increasing the bank deposits like a house afire. Got a string of barber shops, and picks off a nice stipend from your Uncle Sam. too. Slow as a funeral procession in Patagonia, but got a head long enough to crowd a whole lot of financial sense in it. Take it from me that that there Tarheel bunch comes about as near being the goods as any class of citizens around here. Every one of them now shows how to save a dollar, and every one knows how to invest a dollar so the interest on it will make Tollman look like a selling plater. You got to hand it to the tarheel babies for being a thrifty, sensible, hustling bunch of anthracites. Now, just to digrest once more for the cigars, let me remind R. Wordy that a storm is breezing, and he better get his protection furs of silence. (Continued from page 1.) his life is really governed by a plan or purpose, it is the plan or purpose of another—not his own. Now, a man-has his own purpose, his own plan, his own life and aim. "From what I have stated respecting a child's want of plan or purpose in life, no will to direct his energies, may be easily collected the reason why the colored race is frequently referred to by writers and speakers as the "child race." And whether the race likes to be thus referred to or not, the more thoughtful among us must admit that there are, by far, too many men and women, young and old, who are simply drifting through life, without any definite aim or purpose, and are consequently adding nothing to the material progress of the race. "To be a man in the true sense of the term, one must think out his work and then work out his thoughts. The wise man thinks first and acts afterward; the fool acts first and thinks afterward. A good man tries hard to keep out of trouble; a bad man tries hard to get into trouble. Both are generally successful. "In men acting first and thinking afterward may be seen the reason for the failure of most of the commercial and business enterprises, fraternal societies and associations, that have from time to time been organized by men and women of the race. "But do not become discouraged because some good American Christians (2) look upon and call you socially inferior, because your hair is a little shorter, your nose a little larger and your skin a little darker than theirs. I repeat, don't be discouraged. Evolution is one of the immutable laws of Nature. There is historical authority that King Solomon was a black man; that St. Peter and Simon, the Cyrenian, were gentlemen of color; that at least two Africans have sat upon the Papal throne; that Christ, the Prince of Peace, was not an Anglo-Saxon, and that even God is not a respecter of persons. "If it be true, as claimed by those who never lose an opportunity to abuse and express their hatred of Negroes, that the God of infinite wisdom, and justice made the black race inferior, why do they insist on forming a partnership between God and the State Legislatures and the federal Congress by enacting, or seeking to enact, "Jim Crow," segregation and other pernicious laws, the sole purpose of which is to retard, as far as possible, the material progress and development of those whom they solemnly declare were created, and hence naturally and unalterably inferior? "Don't worry. This is not the time forpusillanimous, halting, irresolute spirits." If you think the sun is going down, look up to the stars. If the earth gets dark, keep your eye on the Master, Who is all light." Respecting the young men of the race, Mr. Martin said in part: "Young men, you should bestir yourselves. Your services are greatly needed. You owe a duty to your fellow citizens and to your community and country. This duty you should perform 'intelligently, energetically and consciently. From the street corners, gambling dens, pool rooms and saloons: from the loafers' rendezvous; the idlers' promenade and resorts, turn your steps at once into the highways of noble aim and legitimate, useful employment. Gird yourself for the arduous task of self-cultivation and elevation. Set a high price upon your leisure moments. They are sands of precious gold. Be peaceful, polite, manly and at all times promptly and faithfully perform the duties of a man and citizen, and always bear in mind that a fool is known by his words, and all men by their companions. You must also keep in mind the fact that great benefits result from a good reputation, without which a man stands despised, debased and depreciated." Admonishing the young women, the speaker said in part: "To be a woman in the truest sense of the word is to be the best thing beneath the star-studded firmament. But to be a woman is something more than to live eighteen or twenty years; something more than to grow to the physical stature of women; something more than to wear fine willow plumes, ostrich feathers and furbelows; something more than donning slit and X-ray skirts with silken hose, and the general exhibition of dry goods to catch the gaze of the other sex; something more than to be pretty, or even a wife or mother. Roll all these together, and yet there is but little toward making a true woman. A woman's real worth is to be estimated by the goodness of her heart, the greatness of her soul. her intelligence and her sound discretion. A woman with a kindly disposition, a well-balanced temper, is both lovely and attractive, be her face ever so plain, and her form ever so homely. Though all women may not possess a beautiful face and figure, all can and should cultivate a beautiful mind and heart. "After all is said and done, the future welfare and material and social development of the race depend largely upon the integrity, intelligence and sound discretion of its women." By the sale of admission cards at 10 cents each, and from the receipts from the sale of refreshments by a committee of ladies, a nice sum of money was raised and presented to Rev. Taylor to aid him and paying the expenses incident to his probation work. Music Taught. Miss Edna T Gordon, music teacher, has opened a class of sight-singing and ear training, at her studio, 1329 Wallach Place, Northwest Class work every Thursday evening at 7:30. O-18-25 The Week in Society Seasons may come and seasons may go, but each one brings a crowd of, discriminating customers to Board's Pharmacy at 1912½ Fourteenth Street Northwest, for the best drugs, remedies, candies and toilet articles at moderate prices, and the finest service in Ice Cream Sodas and delicious drinks the year round. Miss Macy French, of Monticello Avenue, has just returned to the city after spending three weeks at Colonial Beach, Va. Miss French was the guest of Miss Marie Brown, a teacher of the Colonial School, and was very highly entertained. John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church is in the midst of a campaign to raise one thousand dollars. Every club in the church has pledged itself to raise $100 each, and from present indications, with every club working like bees, Rev. W. C. Brown, the pastor, is confident that the rally will be a success. Bishop Geo. W. Clinton and wife spent a few days in the city last week the guest of Mrs. Ida V. Smith, the widow of the late Bishop J. W. Smith, on R. Street Northwest. Mr. R. J. Durham, of Sewickley, Pa., one of the men of influence and means of his city, spent a few days in the city last week on business. Miss Julia I. Wyché, of Charlotte, N. C., is again in the city.

THE REPORT OF THE SPIES. Numbers 13:1-3, 17 to 14:25—Oct. 19. "If God be for us, who can be against us!"—Romans 8:31. THE Israelites' first journey was from Egypt to Mt. Sinai, where they remained about a year. Their second journey began after Miriam had been received back into the camp. Their journey led through a barren wilderness scorched by the sun, very different from Sinai's valleys, in which they had rested. The distance to Kadesh-Barnea, on the border of Canaan, was approximately 160 miles. The journey was beset with unknown dangers—serpents, wandering bands of Arabs, lack of water. etc. The Israelites, including women and children and possessions, household goods, cattle, sheep, etc., necessarily travelled slowly. Apparently one or two months were spent on the way, as they arrived at the time of the first ripe grapes-July. Fruits and a Fertile Country. Kadesh - Barnea, their objective point, is a delightful place, well watered—a sharp contrast to the Desert of Paran. Here they rested and refreshed themselves. Moses, full of faith, proposed that they proceed forthwith to enter Canaan, the Land of Promise. But the Israelites were timid. They had no knowledge of war, excepting a little experience with the Amalekites near Mt. Sinai. Their caution overbalanced their faith. They urged upon Moses the sending of the twelve spies. These apparently were divided under two leaders, Caleb and Joshua. One party went the length of the land, and returned in forty days; the others took a shorter journey and returned sooner. The spies were cautious men and gave a truthful report of the land, declaring that its cities had high walls and would be difficult to overcome They reported also that they had seen giants. The report of the ten is described as an evil report because they presented the matter from the viewpoint of its difficulties, as in contrast with the report made by Caleb and Joshua, which was styled a good report, because encouraging. The spies really should have considered themselves as a committee of ways and means for entering Canaan, rather than for deciding whether it was possible to enter. The possibilities were already determined by God's promise; hence Joshua and Caleb left these out of account. If God could deliver them from the Egyptians and the Amalekites He surely could fulfil His promise to bring them into Canaan. Did God Encourage War? In studying this lesson, many are perplexed. They say, It seems unreasonable to believe that God gave such a message to Moses and the Israelites. Contrast this with the Scriptural declaration that 'God "will make wars to cease unto the ends of the earth." Agnostics inquire, Where is the justice of commissioning the Israelites to steal the lands of the Canaanites, and to exterminate utterly all the people? To understand the Bible, we must view it from its own standpoint, and not from that of our creeds formulated in the darker days, nor from that of our own imperfect reasoning. The Bible is beautiful, consistent, Godlike, only when viewed in its own light. We must remember that the Bible antagonizes the theories of our creeds, which tell us that those slaughtered Canaanites went straight to an eternity of torture because they did not know the true God and Jesus Christ, the Savior. The Bible tells us that all mankind are children of Adam, and all perishing because of his death sentence. When they die, they are not alive anywhere. They are dead. They are suffering the penalty that God pronounced, "Dying, thou shalt die." It matters not, therefore, in what way we die, or very much whether our experiences be longer or shorter. In the case of the Canaanites, God declared that their iniquity had come to the full. That is, God determined that they were merely cumbering the earth. God was using the Israelites as a typical people, through whom He was making types and shadows of coming blessings. He would give Canaan to Israel, to illustrate the destruction of the works of the flesh and the Devil, which His people would accomplish in themselves by fighting the good fight of faith and overcoming the evil tendencies of their own flesh. Although God is Tendencies. not bound by Justice to give future life to anybody, He has arranged to do so. To this end Christ has already died for the sins of the whole world—including the Canaanites. Aside from this Plan of Redemption the whole race would have perished. But by God's grace we are to be recovered from death. So we read, "God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believer in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life." Messiah's Kingdom—the Redeemer and His Church, His Bride, the members of which are now being selected from the world—will for a thousand years bless, uplift and restore all the nations of earth—from sin, degradation, death. ```markdown ``` ARTIST LIVED TWO MONTHS IN WILDS Starting Naked, Knowles Returned Fully Glad. USED SKINS AS HIS RAIMENT Had Lost Thirty Pounds, but Is Well. Lonesomeness of the Forest One of the Worst Features and Nearly Drove Him Mad—Had No Food and Lived on Animals He Killed and Berries. Boston.—Joseph Knowles, the Boston artist, after a two months' fight for existence in the forests of Maine, is back in civilization. Clad in rudely dressed skins of black bear and deer and carrying in a pack on his back a fire machine and other tools he had fashioned to aid him in living in a primitive way, Knowles looked like a cave man. Thus ended a test of hardihood and endurance, of skill in conquering a hostile environment. On Aug. 4 Knowles plunged into the forests near Spencer lake, in Somerset county, Me. He was naked. He had no weapons, no tools or implements of any kind, no food. He promised to come out of the woods fully clad and in good health and physical condition. He has kept his promise in every detail. He lost thirty pounds of weight in the two months, dropping from 204 pounds to 174. His appearance clearly told the tale of the hardships he has undergone. From head to heel he was scratched and bruised by the briars and underbrush in which he lived for sixty days. He is tanned almost black. Over his neck and arms was a black bear skin, cleverly fastened with thongs of deerskin. His trousers were of deerskin, made Indian fashion, with the hair inside. His feet were incased in moccasins of buckskin, sewed with slnew. He wore no hat, no sleeves, no underwear. On his back was a knapsack of woven bark. It was filled with trophies from the forest. Slung over his arm were his bows and arrows. Sheathed in buckskin a crude knife of horn hung from his belt. "My food largely consisted of fish, deer meat, bear meat, spruce partridges and berries," said Knowles. I found blueberries in the burnt lands. I am feeling in fine condition. I do not believe every man can do what I have done, but I feel confident that a man with good health, a knowledge of the woods and resourcefulness can accomplish the same thing. I believe any one of the game wardens could do it. I have satisfied a curiosity. "The hardest thing of all was the awful lonesomeness, because of which I came near coming out twice. The isolation almost drove me crazy. Several times I have heard voices afar off and that made it only the harder. "The eating question is nothing; neither is the dress. I have not suffered any to speak of from the cold. It was that awful lonesomeness. "For the last ten days I did little. Up to that time I constantly aspired to accomplish something, but my ambition left me. During the last ten days I believe I gained ten pounds because of this. "On my trip up to Canada I simply used the moss on the north side of the trees to guide me. I started on this march to Canada the day after I waved the torch on the shore of King and Bartlett lake. When I got out I was not sure whether it was Saturday or Sunday. It was a pretty rough country, but my trip was largely down hill all the way. "I came through the deepest forest because I did not dare to strike the roads, for fear of being seen before time. Then from up in the mountains I heard a wonderful thing. I heard the whistle of a train. I pressed toward it and finally came on the railroad tracks." When questioned about salt, he said he missed it very much for the first few weeks, but after that he never thought about it. When asked what he would have to eat he ordered fried salt pork and potatoes. CENSUS OF EMPLOYEES. Postoffice the Largest Business Department of the Government.

Greifswald, Germany.—The expulsion'of some students from Greifswald university because, of their total abstinence principles has caused a sensation here. The university is one of the oldest in Germany, having been founded in 1456. The students, numbering about 1,000, were called together in June to attend a typical "beer evening" in celebration of the emperor's jubilee. Several abstainers protested and were reprimanded by the officials, who said the protest was an "incitement to action against academic customs." One of the abstainers criticised the reprimand and was sentenced to three days' confinement in the university dungeon. Further protesta led to even more drastic steps, and two of the students were expelled. RECALLS MOLLY PITCHER. Mrs. Samuel Sipe, 101 Years Old, Was Friend of Monmouth Heroes. Carlisle, Pa.—Mrs. Samuel Sipe, who was a child friend of Molly Pitcher and a resident of Carlisle for ninety-four years, celebrated her one hundred and first birthday here. Mrs. Sipe vividly recalls history spanning a century and is in possession of all her faculties. She recalls Molly Pitcher, the heroine of Monmouth, and refutes the assertion that she is buried in any other place than Carlisle, where memorials have been placed over the woman's grave. Mrs. Sipe was born in Switzerland in 1812 and came to Carlisle when she was eight years old, when this place was but the hunting ground for settlers in the Cumberland valley. $10,000 FOR KISSES. Young Ladies Sell Them to Furnish a Hospital. Salem, O.-Twenty thousand masculine lips pressed those of six fair members of prominent families in a scheme whereby $20,000 was raised toward a fund to endow Salem hospital through the dispensing of women's kisses at $1 each. Men, young and old, stood in line to enjoy the osculatory performance. All the women were single. One married woman, seeking to do her part, compromised by shaking hands at 25 cents a shake. One of the victims, her husband, she charged $2 for the privilege publicly of closing his fingers over hers. SAVE DOGS FROM VIVISECTIONISTS Women Buy 800 Animals at a Dollar Apiece. Philadelphia. A dollar aplece for 800 dogs intended for the knives of vivisectionists saved the animals from that fate, to be put to death in a painless manner. The purchases were made by agents of the women's branch of the Pennsylvania Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The dogs had been bought from boys and tramps at 50 cents each by Samuel S. Geyer of the University of Pennsylvania Medical school. Miss Henrietta Ogden, one of the leaders in the society's three years' warfare against the medical men. and Miss Katherine S. Nicholson and Mrs. William Poole were the representatives of the society in the case. Miss Ogden is greatly pleased over the society's victory in the indictment of Drs. Allen J. Smith, former dean of the Medical school; Alfred N. Richards, Richard Mills Pearce, Alonzo Engelburt Taylor and Joshua A. Sweet. They are accused of cruelty to animals in connection with their work as vlvlsectionists. THE NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL DURHAM, N.

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. ETHER KILLS PARIS BEAUTY. Mile. Fleury Took Huge Quantities; Also Opium In Cigarettes. Paris:The mysterious, and sudden death of Pierrete Fleury, professional beauty, led the police to investigate the cause, and they found that it was due to ether, of which the twenty-two-year-old girl took enormous quantities, cocaine and other drugs. She was in the habit of smoking daily many cigarettes into which she had introduced opium with a needle. It is stated by the police that the actress at whose house the beauty was found dead and a maid employed there will be prosecuted on a charge of "homicide by imprudence." BABES DYING OF FRESH AIR?

THE PRIDE OF AMERICANS As Oceans Join, Both Fleets of Uncle Sam's Navy May Become One, Thus Forming Greatest Naval Unit In World—Twenty-five Dreadnoughts to File Through the Canal. New York—How many people in this land realize that the days of the Atlantic fleet are numbered? The Atlantic fleet, that great organization which Inspired Klipling to help immortalize Bob Evans, which brought applause from an admiring world when it sailed out of Hampton Roads and steamed triumphantly back again at the end of the first great naval circumnavigation of the globe; which thrilled millions of Americans when majestically it passed in review before the president of the United States on its way to sea last year; the fleet of which every American is and of right ought to be proud. Yet the day of its passing is not far off. But the going is also the coming, for simultaneously with the end of the world famed Atlantic fleet there will come into existence a still greater fleet, to be known as the United States fleet; a fleet that will pass at the will of the naval chiefs from ocean to ocean and which will be—as the Atlantic fleet of today is not—equally important in the defensive scheme of both the Atlantic and Pacific scabards. The Atlantic fleet of today is a splendidly officered and manned organization of twenty-one super-Dreadnoughts, Dreadnoughts and first line battleships. As a fighting unit it is certainly the equal and, in the opinion of thousands who are in a position to judge, the superior, ship to ship, of any fleet that sails any sea under any flag. It is a fleet whose vessels total in displacement more than 360,000 tons, exclusive of auxiliaries. It numbers its units the great super-Dreadnut Arkansas, which less than a eight ago made civilization take when it was officially announced her gunners had smashed every record made with guns of the inch type. day when the Atlantic fleet is gloriously into history and the United States fleet takes its place in inieup of the world's great naval organizations will be the day when the old Oregon, the famous ship of 1898 that sailed around South America and joined Sampson in the nick of time to win an undying name at Santiago, will lead the American fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific via the Panama canal. Behind the Oregon, which for a day only will be a flagship, will trail in a majestic line the fleet that is dying and the fleet that is being born. The fleet will include twelve Dreadnoughts and super-Dreadnoughts and as many more battleships of the first line. The displacement of the fleet will approximate half a million tons. The fleet's thousand guns of all types if fired simultaneously would burn up in smokeless powder more than $50,000, the projectiles would weigh approximately 231,000 pounds, and the total firing cost would be slightly in excess of $145,000. In order properly to appreciate the magnitude of the United States fleet that is to be it may not be out place to say a word or two of the Atlantic fleet of yesterday and today, the splendid fleet which salled around the globe under Evans, Thomas and Sperry, a trio of great fleet commanders, all now dead. When Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United States bade the fleet under Evans godspeed as it steamed past the Virginia capes that December day in 1907 there was not an American worthy the name who did not feel a heart throb of pride as he saw or pictured that magnificent line of vessels which the flagship Connecticut led out to sea, from her foremast fluttering the two starred blue pennant of "Fighting Bob" Evans, who was then beginning, as events proved, his last voyage as commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet. The United States fleet is to be the first under the American flag in which two entire divisions will be made up of vessels' of the all big gun type. That fleet, when it officially comes into existence, will probably comprise twenty-five fighting ships in addition to a great fleet of naval auxiliaries and footillas of torpedo boat destroyers and submarines. The New York will be the flagship, and therefore it is not out of place to tell briefly just what kind of a ship this namesake of the Empire State is to be. She will carry in her main battery ten guns of the newly perfected fourteen inch type, each so mounted that all can be used in a single broadside to either port or starboard. Each of these guns will fire a projectile weighing 1,400 pounds, meaning a broadside of 14,000 pounds, to fire which will cost the United States government $1,770 each time. Such a broadside will mean the explosion of 3,700 pounds of smokeless powder. This powder wholesale costs $3 cents a pound, meaning $1,900 per broadside. Ex-Pugilist Fatally Beaten In Fist Combat to Win Helen Martin. St. Louis. - John Morlarity, a former pugilist, died of injuries received in a fist fight with Sergeant Hermann Ohler of the United States army in rivalry for the hand of Miss Helen Martin. The girl gave the pair to understand that she would wed the victor and has announced her engagement to Ohler. Since his retirement from the ring Morlarity had been a confectioner. He fell in love with Miss Martin, who twisted him with having rude ways and remarked several times that he had a rival who was gallant in the extreme. Then she introduced the rivals to each other. The pugilist remarked in the hearing of the soldier that any one who would drink wine from a woman's slipper was a mollycoddle. Miss Martin said that she believed Ohler would drink wine from her slipper. Ohler immediately essayed the feat, but the pugilist bumped against him, causing him to spill the wine. An apology was demanded, and when it was not made the fight was arranged. 500 CITIZENS DIG ROAD. Mayor and All Good and Bad People In Arkansas Take Hand. Fort Smith, Ark.-With the temperature hovering about the century mark and the dust six inches deep at places, 500 business and professional men of Van Buren and Crawford counties, with 200 teams, built a five mile macadamized road between Van Buren and Figure Five, the first link in the forty-five mile plke to be built by like methods between this city and Winslow. Men of professions and letters worked side by side with a large number of city and county prisoners, who earned their liberty by putting in the day with the pick and shovel. "BROKE," BUT HAS $1,270,000. "This Is Not. A Bank." Says Hospital Physician When He Finds Bonds. San Francisco.—"This is a hospital, not a bank," said the physician in charge of the receiving room at the Emergency hospital when Edward McDonald was brought in from a cheap lodging house. Bonds and securities bearing a face value of $1,270,000 were found sewed in McDonald's pockets, but he had only 5 cents in cash. Questioned about his fortune, McDonald said: "I paid $$0 for the lot and got bitten. I think I ought to get $20 for them, but I might take less." OTTOT, MAD KING FOR 27 YEARS, NEAR DEATH Has Been Confined In Castle Since Accession. Munich.—Otto, the mad king of Bavaria, is reported to be falling rapidly. Among other things he is tormented with carbuncles. The Bavarians receive the news thankfully. Otto has now been King of Bavaria for twenty-seven years, but he has never been seen by his subjects since his accession to the throne. During the lifetime of his elder brother and predecessor the late King Louis, he was already pronounced as incurably insane and placed under close restraint. Louis himself had to be deprived of the reins of government and placed under restraint in ISSG, and his tragic death a few weeks later, in a mountain lake in Bavaria, never was completely cleared. For twenty-seven years Otto has been a prisoner in his forest castle of Furstenreld, hopelessly insane and knowing nothing of the course history is taking outside his prison walls, although he has ever remained the only real king of Bavaria. In whose name the law is read and the money is colled. For twenty-seven years his life has been one of total oblivion, with only an occasional glimpse of light in the darkness of his mind. $30,000 THEFT NOW $7. Amount Reported Taken From San Francisco Mint Dwindles. Washington.—Secret service men lost a chance to unravel a mysterious robbery in the mint at San Francisco when it developed that $7, not $30,000, is missing. William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, received a report on the robbery. The amount taken, according to advises, came from the bags of silver dollars which are piled a thousand in a pack in the vaults of the mint. Huge washers had been substituted for the "cart wheels." Glass Forced Through Arm. Griffin. Wis.—James Ramey was painfully injured in a strange accident during a recent rainstorm. When the storm came up and the wind was blowing at a terrific rate Mr. Ramey went to the front door to close it, but before he could do so the wind blew the door hard against his hand, breaking the glass. A piece of the glass passed through his arm just above the wrist, going between the bones that connect the wrist joint and passing out the other side. CITY PEOPLE DIE EARLIEST IN LIFE Interesting Statistics Presented by Census Bureau. UPHOLD THEORIES OF OSLER Man's Vitality Sapped In the Larger Communities—Comparative Number of Deaths at Various Ages In Leading Cities of United States—Refreshing Contrast Offered by the Country. Washington.—The census bureau makes public figures which appear to corroborate the contention of Dr. William Osler that a man in the city is near the end of his prime at forty years and cannot on the average "come back" after that. In the olden days the prime of life was the period from thirty-five to fifty-four years, but nowadays, under the stress and strain of competition, the prime of life in the cities and in the factory districts has been moved ten years nearer the cradle. This fact is shown by a study of the comparative number of deaths at various ages per thousand of population. For instance, in the city of Greater New York the number of those who die between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four is only thirty-eight per thousand of population, whereas the number who die between thirty-five and fifty-four years of age is sixty-three. Other American cities show the same statistics. Thus: Deaths at Deaths at 25 to 44 25 to 64 years. years. Boston ..... 33 63 New York ..... 33 63 Chicago ..... 37 61 St. Louis ..... 37 62 Philadelphia ..... 37 58 San Francisco ..... 35 63 Newark, N. J. ..... 35 59 The rural communities offer a refreshing contrast to the cities in respect to the "come back" period of life. In Indiana, for instance, the number DR. WILLIAM OSLER. of people who die when between twenty-five and forty-four years per thousand of population is thirty-one as against thirty-nine who die when thirty-five to fifty-four years old. In Vermont the number is thirty-two as against thirty-nine; in Maine it is thirty as against thirty-seven. The states-where factory conditions prevail show the marked rise in mortality after forty years. Thus in Massachusetts the mortality at the twenty-five to forty-four-year period is thirty-six as against fifty-one at the thirty-five to fifty-four-year period. In Rhode Island, the corresponding figures are thirty-nine and sixty. The same conditions prevail in Europe, where the deaths at the two age periods are as follows: Russia, 30 and 50; Austria, 39 and 56; Prussia, 30 and 48; Scotland, 36 and 56; France, 36 and 50; England and Wales, 31 and 53; Belgium, 29 and 44. In pastoral countries, where most of the people live in the open air, the prime of life lasts into "green old age." In Holland the deaths at the two periods named are 28 and 39; in Sweden, 28 and 37; in Denmark, 25 and 38. The vitality of the young men differ somewhat as between one state and another in the United States, but the differences are not as marked in this country as they are in Europe. Perhaps the strangest data collected by the census bureau are in regard to Bulgarin. Wonderful stories of the old age attained by Bulgarians, owing to their sour milk diet, have been told in the American papers, but, according to the census figures fewer persons survive to the age of seventy-five in Bulgaria than in any other country in Europe or in any state or any big city in the United States. Heart disease, the latest tabulated census returns show, is the greatest single cause of death in the United States. Exactly one-tenth of all the people in the registration area of the country perished in 1911 from alliments of that great organ of the body. The registration area for 1911 covered 87.2 per cent of the area and 63.1 per cent of the population of the Union. PEGOUD, VERY MUCH ALIVE. Air Man Repeats Exploits and Discusses Contract For United States. Paris.—Pegoud, the "upside down air man," whose nonappearance at the Buc aerodrome started rumors that he had been killed, duly exhibited his specialty at Buc next day, flying upside down and looping the loop six times. He essayed to loop the loop in a two scatted aeroplane with a sand bag weighing about 150 pounds, to represent a passenger, but failed in the attempt. He rose about 3,000 feet and ```markdown ``` 1913, by American Press Association. AVIATOR PEGOUD. dropped lower and faster than on his previous remarkable flights before he turned over. The spectators became greatly alarmed when they saw the tips of the wings vibrate like those of a bird after it had been struck. They feared he had lost control, but he managed to right the machine with great difficulty and landed safely. Explaining his experience afterward, he said that the machine for the moment was quite uncontrollable, whether owing to the extra weight or because it was badly balanced he did not know. He declared that he would try again and would find out. Washington.—With the approval of the president legislation barring from interstate commerce any article which is misbranded and fraudulently represented, which would apply the pure food law principle to all commerce between the states, will be advanced at the approaching regular session of congress. The bill will originate in the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, and a subcommittee already has been named to draft it. President Wilson heartily indorses the principle of the legislation and has so advised leaders in congress. A dozen bills to close the arteries of commerce to misrepresented wares have been introduced in this congress. Similar bills were introduced in prior congresses, but no one has taken them seriously, and it is known to only a few that President Wilson has been giving this subject considerable attention and has said, "Go ahead." The subcommittee of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce has been delegated by Chairman Adamson to take the various "pure manufactures" bills introduced and to draft a general measure which would apply the pure food law idea to practically everything manufactured and shipped across state lines. TWO BOTTLES OF GIN A DAY. The Daily Fluid Ration of Samson, Who Is Seventy-nine. San Francisco.-David Samson, who is said to have been the first American to establish commercial relations between the Philippine Islands and the United States, has retired from active work with the concern he founded and is hale and spry at seventy-nine, which was apparent when he landed from the steamer China. "I have never done any dieting to speak of," declared "Uncle Dave," as he is known in the orient. "and for the past sixty years I have drunk close to two bottles of gin every day."

Home for Young Colored Girls—Mrs. Elizabeth Ricks Organizes a Rescue Work. What has been needed in this city for some time is a home for young colored girls. Mrs. Elizabeth Ricks has decided to establish and erect a home for young colored girls. Mrs. Ricks is the person for the work and it is quite evident that she will receive the support of the entire community, and it is the determination of The Bee to give her all the support that is in its power. Mrs. Ricks has the support of some of the most representative people in this city, as will be evidenced by the following: (Copy of statement from Assistant Probation Officer, Police Court, D. C.)

She is a Christian woman of intelligence, of magnetic character, kind in her disposition, yet firm, and just the person to take up this task. "My long police service and acquaintance with the class of girls and women for whom such a home will be made, makes it certain in my mind that this is a step in the right direction.

The Allen Christian Endeavor Society held a most interesting session last Sunday evening, October 12, at 6 p. m., in Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. - The devotional exercises were led by the chairman of the prayer meeting committee, Mr. A. J. Williams, Jr., after which the subject for the evening, "Favorite Verses in the Epistles," was outlined by the leader, Mr. S. Z. Westerfield, in which he emphasized the fact that love is the keynote to success and happiness, and without it we are as a tinkling brass and a sounding cymbal. More genuine love toward our fellowmen is needed for the uplift of this race of ours. At the conclusion of the outline, all bowed their heads and offered up sentence prayers. An instrumental solo was then rendered by Mr. Dolan B. Yates, following which a short talk on the "Life of the Apostle Paul" was given by Mrs. A. E. Waddleton, in which she told that Paul laid stress upon unity among his people, giving an example of how two horses pulling together can be more effective than four horses pulling apart. She also gave an example of what a wonderful instrument for good Paul became after he was converted. All of the powers he had used for worldly benefits were then put to use for the Master. An instrumental solo was ably rendered by Miss Thelma Murray of the Berane Baptist C. E. Society. Following which Mr. M. M. J. Keys gave a short talk on "Favorite Verses" and said that when we got love in the home it would spread to the church, then abroad to all nations. The president summed up the points made by all the speakers and urged that they be put into practice the following week. An entertainment is to be given by the Society on Halloween night, October 31, at 2130 Thirteenth Street. Miss Florence Brooks rendered an instrumental solo while the collection was being taken. Rev. T. G. Steward, vice president of Wilberforce University, gave a very forceful address to the society and urged the young people to husband their money for use in old age. He also deplored the fact that there were so many cheap moving picture shows and asked that they be less attended. In conclusion he said be sober, economical and industrious. After a few remarks by the pastor the meeting closed with the Mizpah. A special program next Sunday. One and all are invited to attend. THE FIRST RECEPTION Of the K. of M. One of the Most Brilliant Affairs Ever to Be Given. The first grand reception of the Knights and Ladies of Malachites of the World, an order of the people, springing from the hearts of the people and conducted for the people and by the people, will be held at the Odd Fellows' Hall, 1606 M Street Northwest, Thursday evening, October 23, 1913. Admission will be 25c A and the Monumental Orchestra, Prof. Chas. Hamilton leader, will render special music upon this occasion. Mrs. Camilius Smallwood and her Reception Committee of seventy-five members are working faithfully to make the reception a grand affair, be- M. ing the first large event of the Knights of Malachites in this city. The Grand Lodge, through the grand supreme governor, L. Melendez King, has granted a special dispensation for thirty days (October 1 to November 1), making joining fees $1, and quite a number of good citizens are availing themselves of the opportunity. The order is growing at a rapid pace. Persons desiring tickets may secure same by members or at office, 1111 You Street Northwest. A large crowd is expected to be present at the reception. Bethel Literary and Historical Association. There will be a most interesting discussion of Socialism at the meeting next Tuesday evening. The following program will be rendered by representatives from the Socialist organization of the District of Columbia: 1. "What It Promises to the Young," Miss Jeanette Gershanik. 2. "What It Promises to the Middle-aged," Mr. P. H. Skinner. 3. "What It Promises to the Aged," Mr. John B. McCarthy. It will be remembered that at the last presidential election nearly 1,000,000 votes were cast for the program advocated by this organization. Certainly it is most desirable that there should be a thorough investigation and discussion of the changes which they desire in the existing social order. Madame Bruce.

Everything was highly enjoyed and appreciated. Sunday being regular communion day at Calloway's M. E. Church, was also celebrated as Woman's Day under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society. Rev. C. E. Queene, the pastor, preached at 11 o'clock, using as his subject "Seven Great Women of the Bible," showing the influence a woman possesses in the world in the control of affairs generally. At 3:30 o'clock we were honored with the presence and services of Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson, of Anacostia, and Mrs. W. C. Thompson, the very esteemed lady of the parsonage of Mt. Zion Church, Twenty-ninth Street, Washington, D. C. The very presence of these lovely women was a stimulant to the audience, and the addresses were rendered in such earnest and sympathetic tones that we look for great results from the appeals made by them to the women of this place for greater activity in the matter of helping to build a more perfect race by consecrating their lives to the love of God and uplift of fallen humanity. At 8 o'clock the church was again filled with earnest worshippers and listened to a most excellent sermon, which was delivered in a most scholarly manner and full of religious zeal, with a strong appeal to righteousness, by the Rev. Dr. L. W. Washington. Services concluded with communion services and a collection of $20 for the stewards. Thus ended a grand all-day meeting. Music was rendered at each service by the church choir, Mrs. Mattie Belle, organist. We regret to report the sudden death of Mrs. Eliza Lonesome, who retired as usual Friday night to bed with her daughter, Miss Jennie, and when called early Saturday morning and failed to answer, Dr. Morten was summoned and it was learned that life was extinct. She leaves a husband, one daughter and many friends to mourn their loss. FAIRFAX NOTES.
