IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 49 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914 BANKS AND BANKING The Great Financier Gives Good Advice WHAT BANKS AND BANKING MEANS EX-REGISTER Of the Treasury J. C. Napier, at Tuskegee—The Great Financier Will Speak on Banks and Banking—A Busy Man—His Many Lectures Enthusiastically Accepted. Tuskegee Institute, May 11.—Honorable J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., former Register of the United States Treasury, and guiding spirit of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., delivered the closing series of business lectures to the students of Tuskegee Institute last week. Mr. Napier was kept quite busy while here. He spoke to the entire student body in the Institute Chapel on Tuesday evening, taking the students, as it were, on a trip to Washington and through the various divisions of the great Treasury Department, explaining to them the life of a dollar bill. On Wednesday evening he spoke to the young men and young women of the three upper classes upon the general subject of Banks and Banking. Many valuable suggestions were put before the students by Mr. Napier. It is altogether probable that these suggestions, as well as the many other ones which have been put before the students of Tuskegee. Institute by successful colored business men during the year will bear fruit in the lives of the young people who have listened to them. With particular reference to his subject, Mr. Napier said: "I think that you may want to organize a bank of your own as we did in the case of the One Cent Savings Bank something like ten years ago in Nashville; you will look about to see what steps are necessary to establish a bank; you will see from other people handling your money that they must be making money; looking around you in your city you will see splendid buildings going up as a result of this banking business; you will see that the power to lend money to different individuals and corporations, etc., will probably be an inducement for you to go into the banking business You will see behind the counters of the banks young men and women in good and desirable positions, yet you will not see behind these counters a black face unless it is in an organization of our own. That is a question which we ask ourselves. Why can't we have a bank of our own? Why can't we organize and establish a bank? Then, my friends, you will go to the business men and ask them how much stock they will take in a bank. "With the One Cent Savings Bank we agreed to organize with a capital stock of $25,000 divided up into five thousand shares at 5.00 each. We were not very long in disposing of $5,000 worth of this stock and when we got that much together, we felt that we were justified in organizing a bank. Therefore, the eighteen men who subscribed to the $5,000 met and applied for a charter which was received and these eighteen men became the first directors of the One Cent Savings Bank in the city of Nashville; after the charter was secured, and our officers were elected, we secured an office building and opened our doors. The first day that we did business our deposits amounted to more than $7,000 which gave us a working capital of $12,000. I have found that whenever we undertake to do a good thing, something that will elevate our race, we will find that we will have friends among all classes of the people of this country. "In the first place we tried to keep our expenses down as low as possible. We saw that the income from the loans was sufficient to meet all expenses, and there has never been a day since the organization of that bank that the income from the investments has not been sufficient to meet all expenses. We have been operating something like ten years. It took us five years to sell all of our capital stock; it is in the hands of as good people as we believe there are in the city of Nashville and the One Cent Savings Bank is regarded as safe a depository for the funds of the people as there is in the city of Nashville. We have been quoted by the best bankers of that city as being conservative, cautious and careful of the funds of our depositors. We have never taken money from depositors when they called for it and we have never made a promise which we have not kept. "The first year of the existence of the One Cent Savings Bank our clearings were $250,000; they have gradually grown until this year, when our clearings have already exceeded the $1,000,000 mark. If at ten years ago, anyone had said that the Negroes in the city of Nashville could have handled as much as $1,000,000 through a bank in a year they would have been thought to have very poor judgment, but that is what we are doing. This has done a great deal to raise our people in the estimation of the white people in our community; such a thing arouses the attention of the people to our work and directs their efforts towards giving us some of their money, cultivating our friendship, getting closer to us and making them feel that they are more to us than ever before. "Aside from our regular banking work we have acquired several pieces of fine property in the city of Nashville, we were not ready to return ville, one of which, the Brown Building, situated in the heart of Nashville, cost us $15,000, and which is rented so well that we find it advantageous not to move our bank there, but remain in our original location, where we first began the banking business." Mr. Napier, while at Tuskegee, was the guest of Principal and Mrs. Washington, and received many courtesies at the hands of officers, teachers and students alike. He visited the nearby communities, spoke at several rural meetings, and in addition visited many of the class rooms of the Academic Department. He spoke to the young people of the classes in History and Economics of his rich experiences in business and official life. Mr. Napier's talks brought to a successful close the unique series of lectures which have been delivered here during the year to Tuskegee Institute students by successful colored men, and was a fitting climax. Charles W. Anderson. New York City. May 15. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for New York City, is very much in evidence in all of the big things going on in the Empire State. Mayor Mitchell recently appointed him to membership on the Committee of distinguished citizens to meet the warship that brought the bodies of the dead soldiers and sailors who fell in Mexico. General Horace Porter was the chairman of this committee, and among its members were Seth Low. Vincent Astor J P Morgain, George W. Perkins, George W. Cortelyou, William Loeb, Jr., Jacob H. Schiff, Cornelius Vanderbilt, George J. Gould, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Mr. Andrson was the only colored man appointed, in spite of the fact that he is a Republican.

INFORMAL LUNCHEON The principal and teachers of the Alfred Jones School held an informal luncheon on last Thursday afternoon at their school, in honor of their co-worker, Mr. J. Le C. Chestnut, who was recently married to Miss Margaret E. Johannas, also a school teacher at her home, Stapleton, Staten Island, N. Y. Miss E. A. Chase presided as toastmistress, and was most felicitous in her remarks. All present responded and were unanimous in wishing the new groom and his wife a happy career. The teachers, through their spokesman, Miss L. E. Jean, presented Mr. and Mrs. Chestnut with a handsome morocco hound latest edition of Webster's Dictionary. Mr. Collins, the janitor and a constant well-wisher of the groom, was chosen to present him with the traditional good luck broom. Mr. Chestnut was so impressed by the tribute of his associates that he was stricken dumb. His principal said: "This is the first time, Mr. Chestnut, that I have seen words fail you." At the close, Miss Virguna Wil- liams sang, "Beloved, It Is Morn." The table was simply and statefully decorated with spring flowers. The luncheon was served by Misses Selena Saunders and Ada Williams, two young ladies in this year's graduating class in Domestic Science from Normal School No. 2. Thus present were: Miss E. A. Chase, principal. Misses I. I. Saunders, M. E. Clark, L. E. Jean, M. B. M. Shippen, V. Williams, T. Corrothers; Dr. Chas. Tignor, Medical Inspector, and J. Le C. Chestnut. Misses Cole and Quander were absent because of sickness. A letter of felicitation was read from the latter. THE HOFFMAN BAND. Great Sacred Concert Last Sabbath. The Great Band and His Men Electrify the People. Mr. Jacob E. Jones Carries Off the Laurels. One of the best concerts yet given, was by the great Hoffman Band, last Sunda) afternoon at the Howard Theater. This popular musical organization gave its best musical selections last Sunday. Prof. Elzie Hoffman, the greatest band leader and musical composer in this country was the master of the situation last Sunday. His direction was perfect and dignified. Mr. Jacob E. Jones, baritone, carried off the laurels. He was called to the front three times and his singing as well as his dignified hearing were the personification of perfection Madame Blagburn in Nymphs and Fauns was in keeping with her former renditions. Miss M. Isadore Blagburn, her daughter, always accompanies her mother. She is a most promising young lady. Mr. Joseph Newman has a most musical voice and his singing last Sunday was pleasing and appreciative. These Sunday afternoon concerts are becoming more popular and from the size of the audience on each occasion it is quite evident that they are appreciated. Program. 1.

A Body of Tradesmen and Women Without a Head. Something for The Board of Education to Ventilate. There is every reason to believe that Assistant Superintendent R. C. Brice will be compelled to reorganize the O Street Vocational School and place a practical tradesman at its head. The present head has neither a trade nor the executive ability to run that branch of the vocational system. At the time that Mr. Morse Saunders was appointed it was understood that he would take a summer course at a New York Institute. He neither took that course nor did he go to New York that summer. The Bee wants to know what are his qualifications to run a trade school? There are several departments in that school and this individual who had an idea that a white harber shop and a white lunchroom are better for his fastidious taste to patronize than those conducted by the case to which he is identified. He is principal of the O Street Vocational School. What does he know about the many trades that are taught in the O Street Vocational School? Can he give justice to trades he knows nothing about? Are the taxpayers to be burdened with a teacher who knows absolutely nothing about the business—over which he is the supervisor? Mr. Saunders has no trade of any kind and no experience in the work which he claims to be the principal. A person who thinks himself too good to patronize his own people but earns his money in a colored institution certainly has no right to be retained. If the school authorities refuse to act certainly Congress will. This entire matter will be laid before the District Committee of the Senate. PROMOTED CAPTAINS Important Changes in the Police Department. Lieut. Flather the Favorite. Capt. Peck Goes to No. 1. Judge and Harrison Made Captains. C. E. E. Flather. Thomas Judge and W. H.

One of two things we must do without delay: (1) either reduce our current expenses greatly, (2) or largely increase our income. Now, it is simply impossible to reduce our expenses without doing less for the people whom we serve, at a time when it is our plain duty and business to do more. And, we cannot increase our income; the community must do that. A few weeks ago we asked five hundred of the best people in Washington's colored community to give five dollars apiece toward the support of The Settlement. Only 26 have responded favorably. Where are the others hiding? Poor as The Settlement is, it paid a few months ago $200 in cold cash for interest on the indebtedness for the building. Think of it, $200 for interest instead of for the much-needed day nursery or for some other vital need of our people! Isn't that a shame? Well, what are you going to do about it? Our contributions have been so small and our current expenses so large that we have been literally compelled to live from hand to mouth. Thus, a note of $300 on the indebtedness for the building became due in December, 1913, but to this hour remains unpaid. We simply haven't got the money, that's all. Who will help if you don't? No one can say that our management is not most economical. Thus, we pay our Head Resident only $25 a month. Of course, this means that he can give the Settlement only half of his time or less. This is the kind of economy that is not economical; it means impaired efficiency. Will you help us to avoid curtailing our usefulness further? Almost every day we are asked: "Why on earth don't yyour own people support The Settlement? After all these years of progress are they still too poor? Or is it indifference?" Now, if you, personally, won't help, to whom, pray, shall we apply? One of the most distinguished white men in Washington told me the other day that if the colored people would support their own Settlement, they would by this one act raise themselves incalculably in the estimation of the rest of the community. Didn't he speak the truth? The thing can be done if each one of us who really can (and who cannot?) will contribute five dollars to The Settlement. If you can't give five dollars, give all you can. And do it now. ROSCOE C: BRUCE Richards Literary The Richards Literary Club was most royally entertained by Prof. Wm. H. Richards on Thursday evening, April 24, at the home of its president, Mr. A. S. Pinkett, 2151 L Street N. W. Every member was present and a gala time was enjoyed by all. The club bears the honor and distinction of being named after Prof. Richards and take great delight in being his guests on such an occasion. After a well-prepared literary program was rendered, the guests retired to the dining room below, where a three-course luncheon awaited them. Each one also received a token of remembrance from the host, and then departed for their several homes, declaring it to be the best meeting they had ever held. Hampton Afloat and Field. For a hundred days in ten states a score of colored boys and Indians from Hampton Institute will hold pageants through the summer of 1914. Upon the little eighty-foot schooner "Hampton" the chorus will make the long voyage from Hampton Roads, Virginia, to Bar Harbor, Me, striving, to aid their school by giving the best of Negro music and folklore and the vividly beautiful tribal dances and ceremonial chants of the Indians. To be crew, cast and chorus; to act, to sing, to march, to sleep in the crowded forecastle afloat, to make camp ashore, to give the best of their peoples' songs and customs to strangers; to try to gain new scholarships for new boys at Hampton—this is the gift of these Negro and Indian students to their school. The camp of brown khaki tents which stood upon the lawns of Newport, Bar Harbor, and the North Shore two summers ago will be carried ashore from the schooner "Hampton" for campaigns into the White Mountains, the Adirondacks, and the Berkshire Hills. The Hampton School has become not only a model of industrial education and training for leadership. It is also the center of true American music and folklore, of the Negro and Indian songs and customs. By sending out the best plantation chorus in America this summer, the workers and students of Hampton hope to gain new friends and new aid for the school. In New Hands. Mr. R. H. Spittell has purchased the lunchroom at 1105 You Street N. W. Mr. Spittell is a gentlemanly and progressive business man. GREATION'S DRAMA OPENS AT CAPITAL Washington's Most Beautiful Theatre the Scene. PASTOR RUSSELL PRESENT. In Discourse He Chose That Feature of His Famous Creation Drama Which Relates to St. Paul's Advice, "Present Your Bodies a Living Sacrifice"—He Declared Israel's Tabernacle a Beautiful Picture of the Divine Plan For Mankind's Salvation. Washington, D. C., May 10.—Pastor Russell is in the nation's capital city, and in the capital's finest theatre, The Belasco, presented, both afternoon and evening, his far-famed Creation Photo - Drama. Many of the nation's foremost citizens were in at PASTOR RUSSELL Washington, D.C., May 10.—Pastor Russell is in the nation's capital city, and in the capital's finest thee. The Belasco, presented, both afternoon and evening, his far-famed Creation Photo-Drama. Many of the nation's foremost citizens were in attendance. Capacity audiences will doubtless be the rule at the beautiful Belasco. Asked why the Creation Photo-Drama is exhibited in theatres, Pastor Russell said: "Theatres are better places for the Drama of Creation than churches, because Catholics do not care to go to Protestant Churches, nor Protestants to Catholic Churches, nor Jews to either—and all classes are interested in the Drama, and it is for all." Continuing, the Pastor said: "The Photo-Drama is reaching far and wide. The International Bible Students, Association is supplying the Drama, with its various accessories, without charge, and the public, interested in Bible Study, are paying for theatres in which it is shown. "The Drama is going first to the largest cities, but many calls from small places will have consideration in due time." Pastor Russell, as usual, delivered a discourse, taking for his text: "I be seech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God—your reasonable service."—Rom. 12:1. The Pastor began his discourse with the declaration that the Apostle is not addressing the world in general, but only those who believe that God sent His Son into the world to die for our sins, and who have taken the step of trusting in the blood of Christ as their Ransom-price. Those the Apostle adresses as brethren, not as sinners. The text, therefore, may be applied only to those who have been justified by faith. These alone may have the further opportunity of presenting their bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. The speaker reminded his hearers that in the typical sacrifices, offered according to the instructions which God gave Israel through Moses, every animal brought to the altar of the Lord must be without blemish—the Lord thus indicating that no one who is in an imperfect condition would be acceptable to Him. He then showed that under the arrangement made for the Church of the Gospel Age something was done in order that the natural blemishes of the consecrated might be covered; for all were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest of the world. That which was done for them was the forgiveness of their sins—figuratively represented as the covering of the weaknesses of their flesh with the robe of Christ's righteousness. The Tabernacle a Picture. The Pastor then refreshed the minds of his audience with a description of Israel's Tabernacle in the wilderness. God gave that people instruction through Moses to construct that Tabernacle, not merely for their own convenience in worshiping Him, but as a type, or a picture, of His great Plan for human salvation. The Tabernacle proper was built of boards overlaid with gold, and was covered with skins. Around the Tabernacle was a Court, constructed of white linen curtains hung on poles. In front of the Court was the entrance, called the Gate. Between the Gate and the Tabernacle were the Brazen Altar and the Laver. The Altar was directly in front of the Gate, and on it the offerings were made. The Laver was filled with water for the washing of the hand and the feet of the priests. Those privileged to enter the court could not reach the Tabernacle without passing both the Altar and the Laver. The Tabernacle proper was in two parts called the Holy and the Most Holy. In the Holy were the Golden Candle stick, the Table of Shewbread and the Golden Altar. In the Most Holy was the Ark of the Covenant, upon which rested the Shekhinah light. Thus God pictured His great Plan of salvation, declared the Pastor. God presence in the Tabernacle was represented by the Shoklah glory in the Most Holy. In the antitype, whoever desires to draw near to God may be said figuratively to be going toward the Tabernacle. In the type, the Affair of sacrifice was directly inside of the gate. In the antitype, no one can draw near to God without first seeing and recognizing the fact that Christ died, for our sins, according to the Scriptures. He is our Redeemer. Our sins could not be forgiven except through the merit of the Sacrifice which God has provided freely for us. Until this sacrifice is seen and accepted, there can be no further progress toward God on the part of the one seeking to draw near Him. Those who see and accept the Sacrifice provided for us are then privileged to go on to the antiltypical Laver. When they turn away from sin, they find that certain filthinesses of the flesh remains with them; and they endeavor to rid themselves of these weaknesses. They make the effort to cleanse their thoughts, words and actions, in order to be more pleasing to God. Going still further in their desire to draw near to God, they come to the Door of the antiltypical Tabernacle. Two Classes of the Consecrated. The Pastor next showed that during the Jewish Age no Jew was fully justified. All that Israel had was a typical justification and a typical relationship with God; for until the real sacrifice for sin had been offered by our Lord Jesus Christ and had been presented to the Father, there could be no actual justification. Justification, he declared, is a progressive matter. When one merely sees the sacrifice of Christ, he is not justified. But as he draws nearer and nearer, he is coming more and more into that condition which is right. Every step toward God—every step of faith, obedience and desire to please Him—is a step toward complete justification. Referring again to the typical Tabernacle, the Pastor discussed the sacrifices on the Day of Atonement. In the antitype, he declared, all of the people of God who have come to Him in consecration are represented by the two goats that took part in the ceremony of that day. They are either the Lord's goat class or the scape-goat class. After they have passed through the antitypical Court—after they have entered the antitypical Gate, passed the antitypical Altar and washed at the antitypical Laver—they are tied, as it were, at the Door of the antitypical Tabernacle; that is to say, they consecrate them selves to God. In the type, the goats were brought to the Door of the Tabernacle, and there waited for the high priest to cast lots upon them. As soon as he had done so, he offered the Lord's goat in sacrifice. In the antitype this signifies God's acceptance of the sacrifice of the consecrated; and from that moment onward the person is reckoned dead. As the Apostle says, "We are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." Thenceforth the goats represent merely the old nature—the flesh—counted dead. The New Creature is thereafter represented in the body of the high priest—a member of his body. The Pastor theft carefully explained that as the sacrifice of the bullock preceded the sacrifice of the goat, and made it possible, so in the antitype Christ's sacrifice preceded the sacrifice of the Church, and made theirs possible. Those who do not care to present their bodies as living sacrifices are not invited now. Their opportunity will come during the next Age. At present the call is for those who desire to follow in the footsteps of Jesus—those who will lay down life itself in His service. This is the class to which reference is made in the text which reads: "We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous." This class have forsaken sin, drawn high unto God, and have come to the place where they say, "O Lord, I give myself to Thee." Then the Lord accepts their offering. This is the antitypical slaying of the goat; this is the death of the old nature; and just at the moment when the old nature is reckoned dead, at that same moment the New Creature begins—begotten of the Holy Spirit, that these may be children of God, spiritual sons of God. These have become the Lord's in two senses: first. in the sense that they are New Creatures, begotten of the Holy Spirit, and will be glorified in the First Resurrection by and by. if faithful; and second, that they are also reckoned as members of the Body of Christ on the human plane. "Present Your Bodies." Referring again to his text, the Pastor demonstrated that the Apostle's argument in the context relates primarily to the presenting of the human nature in sacrifice. Only the high priest could offer the sacrifice in the type. In the antitype, the great High Priest offers those who present themselves. Each one who presents his body a living sacrifice in consecration is then taken in hand by our Lord. Thenceforth the sacrifice is reckoned dead. In this connection, the Pastor also showed that the Aaronic Order of priests consisted of two classes, the high priest and the under priests. This arrangement was typical of Christ and the Church. He quoted Scriptures to demonstrate that the Church is a Royal Priesthood, of which Jesus is the great High Priest. In the typical Day of Atonement sacrifices, the animals offered in sacrifice represented the human nature of Jesus and the Church; but Aaron and his sons represented the New Creatures. All who have presented their bodily living sacrifices, and have been accepted and begged of the Holy Spirit are the antitypical, under priests, and as such have access to the antitypical Tabernacle. Having passed under the first Vell. typical of the death of the human will, they as New Creatures are in the antitypical Holy. They they walk by the light of the antitypical Golden Candlestick, eat the antitypical Shewbread and offer incense at the Golden Altar—these all representing spiritual blessings. As the Apostle says of the Church "God * * * hath made us sit together in Heavenly places." We have not yet gone into Heaven itself—beyond the second Vell—but we are in a Heavenly condition. "Old things have passed away, and all things have become new." We have left the Camp, and have passed out of the Court condition into the blessed condition of the light of the presence of the Lord. Each of these, different pictures helps us to see how great things God has done for us. "A Living Sacrifica." The Pastor declared that membership in the Body of Christ is the all-important thing to the Christian. This Body of Christ, which is the Church, is under another figure called the Royal Priesthood. It is the Divine purpose to prepare in advance of the world a company that will be able to instruct mankind and to help them in every way with respect to morals, and education in things relating to God. This especially prepared class is the Church, who as kings and priests will also have authority, under their great High Priest, to rule the world during the thousand years of the Messianic Kingdom. Their work will be not only to rule mankind for their good, but also to uplift the race of Adam from sin degradation and death. The opportunity to be a member of this Royal Priesthood is certainly the greatest privilege that has ever come to any creature. It is to fit and prepare this class for joint-heelship with Jesus in the Kingdom that God deals with the Church as He does. He calls them out of the darkness of the world into the light of the knowledge of His own glorious plans for the salvation of humanity. Next the Pastor showed that this matter of sacrifice may be viewed from either of two standpoints—God's view and man's. From the standpoint of humanity, consecration seems to be very hard. There is no slavery in the world like that of being a child of God and an associate of Jesus, they think Everything must be given up. One can not have anything of his own; he may not eat, drink, sleep, think, or do any thing as he would choose. On the contrary, he must ask what the Lord would have him do about everything He must have no will of his own. Any other slave would be allowed to eat what he chose and to think what he chose, at least; but the Christian can not do so. He must say. Not my thoughts, not my way, not my will, but the Lord's. This is the worldly view of consecration; it seems hard; indeed, some will say. It is too much. The view from the Divine standpoint is altogether different. We who look at the subject from this standpoint say, What have we, at best? We are dying creatures. We have very little strength, very little wealth; it requires nearly all of our time to provide for the necessities of life. We have very little to give to the Lord. Therefore we do not see why the Lord should accept our sacrifice at all. To corroborate this view, the Pastor cited the case of St. Paul, who declared that he counted all things but loss and dross for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus his Lord. St. Paul had more than have most of the consecrated A Roman citizen by birth, he was also a member of a noble family, and had every advantage of wealth and education. He had good powers of speech and reason, as his Epistles demonstrate. Whoever will read his Epistle to the Romans will see that the master mind behind that writing could handle $p$ case at law anywhere. Yet, after summing up all his advantages, the Apostle considered these things as mere dross. He willingly sacrificed them all in order to win Christ; for the things of this present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed. This, the speaker declared, is the right view of consecration—God's standpoint. Look Not at the Things Seen. The Pastor then discussed the experiences of the Christian who is walking in the narrow way of sacrifice. He has pleasures of which the world knows nothing. His trials seem, as the Apostle says, light afflictions, which are but for a moment, and which are working out for him a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while he looks at the things unseen. The Christian is looking at the unseen things with the eye of faith—the eyes of his understanding. The Pastor made a practical application of his point by declaring that whenever an experience begins to be rather hard, the Christian is then looking at the things that are seen, and for getting to look at those that are invisible—the things of the Kingdom. Such should shut their eyes to the things that are seen, and ask the Lord to help them to set both their eyes of understanding and their affections on the things as yet not seen—the things which God has in reservation for those who love Him supremely. These things the natural man cannot understand; to him they are foolishness. But to those who love the Lord they are the most wonderful realities and bring the greatest blessings. Next the Pastor grew attention to the mad rush for pleasure which characterizes our day. The whole world is searching for pleasure. He then asked whether his hearers had ever known any of them who had found genuine pleasure. He had not. With the Christian, however, it is different. The Christian has found an unfailing source of joy. The peace of God, which passes all understanding, rules in his heart. In conclusion, the Pastor exhorted his audience to rejoice in the Lord. All the consecrated should rejoice always, not only because they know the Lord, but because they know that by and by the world's eyes of understanding will be opened. The glorified Church will have the pleasure of giving this Díne blessing. "A NO.1," FAMOUS HOBO, MARRIED HIS REAL NAME A SECRET. Thirty Years' Tramping Around the World at Total Expense of $7.61 Railroad Fares—Learned Four Languages. Now Prominent Citizen of Erie, Pa., Where Hettled Down. Erie, Pa.—"A No. 1," the "champion hobo" of the world, has settled down and married. The wanderer, who made his home from Suez to Sitka has crammed himself up in a six room apartment. The tramp who has been sleeping in box cars for full thirty years now has a mahogany bed. For a third of a century he drifted almlessly from Chile to Alaska. He "rode the rods" for more than half a million miles. He saw more scenery at less overhead cost per look than any man living. In thirty years he paid only $7.61 railroad fare. But he never smokes, drinks or gambles. His only great passion was the wanderlust. And now this hobo has forsaken the road, fallen in love and married. One night in February, 1911, a freight train chugged into the yards at Erie, Pa. The night was cold and a stinging sleet was falling. "A No. 1" was hidden away in one of the box cars dozing. The car inspector routed him out and found that he was half frozen. He took him to his shanty and shared his midnight lunch with him. The remainder of the night "A No. 1" spent sleeping on a bunk covered with black cushions in the glare of a red hot stove. It was an unusual act of kindness for a hobo to receive. "A No. 1" vowed that he would never forget it. Last November, "A No. 1" visited Erie again, and this time he brought a present for his true friend, the car inspector. He was invited to call at the inspector's house. He accepted the invitation. Then he met the inspector's ANNO. 1" daughter, Miss Mary Abigail Trohoski, a high school graduate, twenty years of age and a finished musician. In that one night Cupid accomplished for the roamer what "A No. 1" had been trying to do for himself for a quarter of a century. Love was stronger than wanderlust, and they were engaged. The announcement caused consternation among the ladies of Erle. They whispered about the outrage of pretty Miss Trohoski throwing herself away on a hobo. Some of her friends came to her with tears in their voices and pleaded with her to reconsider it. All in vain. Miss Trohoski replied that hers was not the common variety of hobo. She was right. He is the most remarkable roamer in trampdom. "A No. 15" history is too well known to require any detailed comment. He ran away from home when he was eleven years of age and became a yeggman kid. A yeggman tramp doesn't beg; he robs; he would blackjack a man for a meal. He always has a kid to travel with him, for the child can stand outside while he is cracking a safe and give him the signal when a "copper" approaches. Besides, the kid, with the appeal that his tender years makes, can get food for both by begging for it, while a regular old tramp would be more likely to get fall. The yeggman that this hobo traveled with thirty years ago called him "A No. 1" kid. The boy got his "mouicker" from this; tramps never have real names. They are called "Alkall like" or "Box Car Bennie" or the like. Ask "A No. 1" his real name, and he will reply, "Sh-sh-tust 'A No. 1'." He has a picture of himself and Jack London taken during their companionship on the road in 1804. "A No. 1 also possesses autographed cards from Thomas A. Edison, Luther Buoank and William H. Taft. Another car has this tense note: "I know A No. 1 to be O. K. Theodore Roosevelt." "A No. 1 has prevented twenty railroad wrecks in as many years. He has letters from three different railroad presidents thanking him for his saving of property and life." "A No. 1" won a $1,000 prize once by "deadbeating" his way to New York to San Francisco in seven days and six hours. With $750 of this he bought a tomb at Cambridge Springs Pa., and inscribed this epitaph on it: "A No. 1" Tire Hambler At Rest The remaining $250 he spent in resulting boys from the hard life that he had held him in. 28 YEARS TO ACCEPT DIVORCE When Husband Returns Wife Pays Cost and Gets Decree. Towanda, Pa.—Feeble with the weight of years, yet determined in manner, Mrs. Hanna Harrison entered the courthouse and demanded the papers in a divorce granted her twenty-eight years ago. Prothonotary Entall spent two hours searching the records and finally found that back in the eighties Mrs. Harrison had been granted a divorce from James Harrison on the grounds of desertion. The decree was to become effective when Mrs. Harrison paid the costs of the case. The conditions were explained to the aged woman, and she said she knew all about it and was ready to pay the costs as required. Then she explained that about the time the divorce was applied for she heard her husband was dead, and she decided that a divorce was not necessary. A few days ago he returned after an absence of over thirty years, and she decided to lift the decree. She accordingly paid the costs and was given the papers, which restores to her her maiden name. "I put him out of my life forever when I applied for that divorce, and now I intend to keep him out" said the woman as she placed the court's decree in her hand bag and left the courthouse. REBELS COIN MONEY. Coins Not Pretenious and Look as if Made by Amateurs. Juarez, Mexico.—It is not generally known that the Constitutionalist forces in Mexico have colled money in silver and copper. These coins were struck in Chihuahua and are very crudely done—in fact, are about the most amateurish pieces of money that have been produced in many years. The peso or dollar has on one side simply "H del Parral, 1913." in a wreath, and on the other side, "1 peso." The half dollar is more pretentious. On one side is the inscription, "Fuerzas Constitutionalistas, 1913" (Constitutional forces), and in the center a liberty cap surrounded by rays, a copy of the older style of Mexican coins. The reverse has "50 centavos" in a wreath, a poor copy of the present coinage of Huerta. The copper piece, which is said to have been made from trolley wire melted down, is similar to the 50 centavos, but has a "2 C" in a wreath for 2 centavos. 4,422 FOREIGNERS IN AMERICAN COLLEGES Nearly Every Country In the World Is Represented. Washington—Popularity of American colleges and universities with foreigners is shown by the fact that 4,422 foreign students attended these institutions in 1913, an increase of 577 in two years.

EDISON BRAVES DOCTOR'S IRE "Wizard" Burns Midnight Oil to Perfect Talking Movie. West Orange. N. J.—Much against the advice of his physician and his family. Thomas A. Edison is again burning the midnight oil. It became known here that in a week Mr. Edison has spent less than six hours in his home, Glennent, in Llewellyn Park. Practically all day long and the better part of the night the "wizard" is on the third floor of his laboratory working on the talking movie. "Any person who knows Mr. Edison is acquainted with the fact that he will never give up interest or work or experiment with a thing until it has become as nearly perfect as possible." said William H. Meadowcroft, his private secretary. Bedridden Twelve Years: Akron, O.—Jacob Herr, seventy-five, who had not been out of his bed in twelve years. Is dead.

Leaders Are Pupils of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, King and Queen of Anarchy In America. New York. — Unrest among the so-called Industrial Workers of the World, anarchists and other kindred organizations has never before been pitched to such fever heat as now. Demonstrations protesting against various individuals and corporations are held daily. Dealing with the crowds is a great puzzle to the metropolitan police. Orators from the rank and file of the anarchists and L. W. W. are granted the con- P Photo by American Press Association. "SWEET MARIE" GANTZ situational right of free speech. Threats of murder and of assassination are frequently made in speeches. The anarchists have never had fuller sweep in their scope of murderous endeavor in any country or in any city than they are now being given in New York. That Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, the king and quen of anarchy in this country, count on a woman to turn the trick of reprisal is plain. "Sweet Marie" Gantz, a follower of the anarchists, openly declared, with a multitude of vicious adjectives, that she would kill John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and went so far as to seek the young millionaire in his own office and attack him. She is the head of the flying squadron of anarchy known as the "Red Angels." The police consider her dangerous. She never ceases to talk. Officers are anxious to use their heavy clubs. They know what it is to deal with anarchists. The youngest of them have heard of the Haymarket riots in Chicago. In March, 1908, in New York, the Haymarket reprisals came near being reproduced when Sellg Silverstein threw a bomb into the police ranks. The bomb was poorly made, and it exploded in his own hand, killing him and wounding the people about him. He had a card in his pocket, a card with the signature of Alexander Berkman, vouching for him as an anarchist. The cops are not at all in sympathy with the policy of watchful waiting. Moreover, they are pazed by this new turn of anarchist strategy—the employment of women in the game of murder. Marie Gontz is only a private in the ranks, but she hopes to become a corporate soon. If she succeeds she will outrank Emma Goldman herself. That is her ambition, and her life's story verifies the statement. Marie studied enquiry under Emma Goldman. She was the most eager of the students of the red queen. She is young, a bit inclined to fat, lazy physically and some what frowns, for the ladies of Emma's school do not take much time about their toilet. She is twenty-three years of age and was born in Austria, the most aristocratic country in the world perhaps. She says that she is a saleswoman, and she has sold goods, beginning with sausages to debate-season dealers and ending with the selling of Mother Earth and other magazines that fly in the face of established law and order. "Sweet Marie" is an iconic alias. The cops gave her the name because of her fond tongue. She uses profanity as an expert. No longshoreman could give Marie points in an anthem. Curses ripple from her lips. The cause of this unrepresented upheaval is attributed to the tragedies resulting from the mine strike in Colorado, when thirty lives were lost in battles between strikers and guards. Protections are being made against John D. Rockefeller, Jr., assertion that the mine owners will not recognize the unions. The young man has been bounded since he appeared before a congressional investigating committee and made statements to which the anarchists objected. One of the features of the demonstrations was the daily appearance of "mourners" in front of his offices, each wearing a cape band around his or her arm "in memory of the brave miners who died in the coalfields who grappled up for their rights," they said.

Philadelphia, May 12. Dr. William A. Sinclair has returned home from Baltimore, Md., where he attended the sixth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was held there last week. A verdict of death from tumor of the brain was given Tuesday by the coroner's jury in the case of Herman Fountain, 1710 Alter Street, who died April 30, in the Philadelphia Hospital. He stated, it is alleged, that he was struck over the head. Henry Johns, 643 Mechanic Street, was exonerated Tuesday by the coroner's jury of blame in the death of three-year-old Carl Hill, 3137 N. 23d Street, who was run over at 21st Street and Allegheny Avenue by a wagon driven by the defendant Refused a kiss by his wife, Annie Carney, 23 years old, when he was about to leave their home at 12th and Lombard Streets. Tuesday night, William Carney, 25 years old, became angry and bit a piece out of her lip and also, hit her on the shoulder. Her condition was so serious that she was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital where physicians treated her wounds. During a quarrel Wednesday night between Walter Scott of Lippincott Street, near 15th, and James Blue, of Bainbridge Street, near 15th, Scott was shot in the right arm during a heated discussion. The wounded man was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital and Blue was arrested.

Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful. Whether the Anglo-Saxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history.

Bledsoe, suffrage orator from Missouri, was there to speak, beside several prominent suffrage craters from this state, several white girls had come from suffrage headquarters to usher, an orchestra of 20 pieces was in the pit ready to play, but when it came to be 9 o'clock, and there were only ten people in the house, they decided to call it off. Mrs. Cain, president of the union, said, "that it was lack of suffrage enthusiasm among the Colored people, and that it was only an accident." Miss Lida Stokes, vice president of the Pennsylvania Suffrage Association, said, "that the whole affair was a tragedy." A hall was to have been given after the speaking. On the whole, the affair looked like segregation, and the Colored people quietly let it alone. The loss was about $500; $400 for the Academy, and $100 for music and advertising. The Women's League for Moral Uplift met at the home of Mrs. S. A. Keene, 1224 Pine Street, on Monday evening. The speakers were Miss Mary H. Ingham, Mrs. J. B. Mumford, A. P. Caldwell, W. J. Bailor.

These women are trying to better conditions in wards with large Colored population. Men Admire Women with Beautiful Hair!

This continual slander and abuse of the colored lawyer only comes from those Negroes who preach race pride and at the same time run to the white professional men. There is nothing under the sun, in law, that the colored lawyer is not capable of doing and does it well. It is true, that there may be one or two who are afraid to venture alone in large cases, and there are others who handle large cases as easily as they handle a small case. At the local bar there are some of the most competent colored attorneys in the United States and they have fully demonstrated their ability before the highest counts in this country. If Negro corporations exist on the money they collect from the colored people, they should be liberal enough to employ colored competent lawyers. There is no corporation in this city that has any large case. There are suits, generally brought by the insured. It doesn't require a blackstone to handle such cases, but many of these insurance companies seem to be afraid to go in court with a colored lawyer with a five or ten-dollar suit against them. Suppose the masses of colored citizens had the same opinion of these insurance companies as they have of colored lawyers! It is the duty of the colored lawyer to advise the colored people to support such institutions that support their own representatives. At the local bar we have men who have gained a legal reputation. Joseph H. Stewart is one of the best civil lawyers at the bar. He has settled cases in which the most noted eminent white lawyers have been engaged. Fountain Peyton is a good civil and criminal lawyer. B. L. Gaskin is said to be one of the finest and most competent lawyers at the bar. He did what no other lawyed has ever done. Geo. F. Collins is a hard-working lawyer and a very persistent fighter. He is a good civil lawyer. Charles H. Hermans is distinguishing himself at the bar. He is doing well. Thomas Walker is the most successful real estate lawyer of color at the bar. He is a reliable practitioner. L. M. King is a successful civil lawyer and a very careful man. W. C. Martin is not only a good civil lawyer but a good pension attorney. Pierre W. Frisby is a good civil lawyer. James H. Smith at one time had more civil practice than he could attend to. A. W. Gray is not only a good civil lawyer; but an expert in insurance laws. C. S. Hill is making a mark. He is among the younger members of the bar, but a very successful one. Royal Hughes practices civil and criminal law very successfully. Wm. J. Lee liis always been a success. He is a man of ability. Tignor and Tignor are brothers and are doing a successful business. They are civil and criminal lawyers. A. W. Scott is perhaps one of the most aggressive lawyers at the bar. He practices in the civil and criminal court. Thomas L. Jones is the most successful criminal lawyer at the bar. He has defended more capital cases than any three lawyers at the bar and has never allowed a man to hang. He is not only a good civil lawyer but a successful criminal lawyer. Judge E. M. Hewlitt is an aggressive fighter. He is persistent and fearless, and a thorough race man. R. R. Horner is doing well. His practice is mostly civil. Messrs. Rick and Moss are two of the old land marks. It, can be seen that there are colored members of the bar fully competent, and able to do any kind of work and when a Negro corporation president attempts to belittle the Negro lawyer, they don't know what they are doing and should be put out of business. The Negro attorney is the peer of his white competitor. If this is doubted visit our courts. GHOSTS AND SHAMS In ancient times the belief was that ghosts really existed: In this age of civilization and intelligence ghosts may be seen periodically. They come in all kinds of shapes and forms. The people of this city believe in them and all the teachings and warnings they give them, they never take heed. They don't want anything real. They don't believe in realities. They would rather invest their money in sham and ghost enterprises than they would in legitimate institutions and real articles and genuine people. A faker may come to town and relate all kinds of ghost stories and the people will believe in them. The real advocate of truism may come and he is characterized as a faker and a sham. There have been organized and established in this city at least a dozen corporations of one kind or another by reputable men, banks, newspapers, building associations and the preachers from the pulpit have advised the people to take hold of them and invest their money. Thousands of dollars have been lost to the people in this city by investing their money in fake enterprises and sham institutions. Name, if you please, one corporation, bank or any other enterprise that has succeeded with but one exception, and that exception is the Mechanic and Laborer Association and the Industrial Bank, conducted by laborers. These men lay no claim to the sham society that has been so disastrous to the working people in this city. These men don't belong to the office-holding class. They are the sons of toil who earn their money by the "sweat of their brow." These men are not chasing ghosts and ghost stories. There are men in business who don't belong to the ghost society, such as Dr. W. L. Board, Dr. H. L. Harris, Dr. J. W. Moss, Dr. Napper, Gray and Gray, Dr. Geo, W Murray, Jesse Foster, the owner of the greatest dye works in this city, white or black. You are not chasing ghosts when you follow such establishments. This is a great city for shams. The moment a sham lands in the city that moment he seeks to organize a sham institution or a ghost society for social recognition Name one Negro who calls himself a leader of society that stands for one thing at his own home. The Washington people soon become contaminated with shams and when they wake up they soon realize that the shams are in control and they are black ballad. Kill out the ghosts and shams. DIPLOMAS Some people, especially some colored people, have an idea that a professional man must have a diploma. This editorial is suggested because a colored individual entered the office of a certain prominent colored lawyer a few days ago and asked if he had a diploma "Oh yes." remarked the disciple of Blackstone. "Oh, you ought to hang it up in your office, for your clients to see. It will have effect. Colored people like to know that you are a college graduate." Now, this is a great mistake. College graduates get no higher than a school teacher. In the public schools of this city all college graduates may be found. They get no higher than a school teacher. Our schools are filled with these college graduates and what do they amount to? Take the men who are not college graduates and in many instances they are able to do more than the man who has been in college all of his life. The Howard University college graduates are superior to any graduates from other colleges. The Howard college graduates have out-generated Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale and all other in- stitutions. It is not always the man with a diploma who is a success. There are thousands of lawyers, in this country who have never known a college or would not know a diploma if he saw one, but yet he is far superior to the law college graduates as is the man who has received a diploma. THANKFUL FOR WHAT? While The Bee is glad that Judge Robert H. Terrell was nominated and confirmed by the Senate over the protest of the southern Democrats, what is it that the colored race is to be thankful for? Here we have a population of about ten millions of people. All that these ten millions have received thus far under the democratic administration is one two-thousand-dollar job. If the democratic south kicks up all of this fuss over a two-thousand dollar job what will it do if a Negro is named for a four-thousand dollar job? Now we are to have a jubilee over that to which Judge Terrell was entitled by virtue of his record and his superior ability to fill the position. It is to be regretted that colored people are so easily satisfied over such a small thing. Would any other nationality be satisfied with such a small gift, with such a voting strength that it possesses? A sugar tit, would have been equally satisfactory to a certain element of colored citizens IS IT FAIR? The appointment of Mr. Maurice Saunders as principal of the (O) Street Vocational School is an imposition upon the schools and the taxpayers in this city. At the time of his appointment Dr. Davidson, then superintendent of schools, questioned the propriety of taking a clerk from the schools who had no more knowledge of vocational training than a third grade pupil and that it was with the positive assurance that Mr. Davidson got that he would go to New York and study. Did he go? The Bee should say not. The very idea of placing a novice, with no experience whatever over teachers with trades and he having no knowledge whatever of the work for which he is engaged. The Bee makes this suggestion to the present school authorities: If an immediate change is not made in the head of that school and the Armstrong Manual Training, the entire matter will be sifted by Congress and no doubt there will be interesting reading. Some people may think that they are immovable but let us see what we will see. WILL IT CONTINUE? Race leaders are nothing more than shams and deceivers. In the first place Negroes are against themselves. In this city there are a number of barbershops owned and controlled by colored men. Many of these barbershops cater to white people. All barbershops owned and controlled by white men either has a sign displayed "All White Barbers," meaning that no Negro need apply. Those who haven't signs displayed refuse flatly to accommodate any colored person. Certain Negro insurance companies, advocate race pride and race unity and they employ white lawyers to attend to their business. There are a few Negro preachers who can be seen and heard hollowing their lungs out for race unity and race enterprises, but when they have a law case many of them seek white lawyers. So that, it is useless and an act of folly for these so-called race advocates to be preaching race pride, when they know they don't mean it. It is unfortunate to witness so many shams among us. Will this continue? EX-SENATOR FORAKER. All indications point to the renomination and election of ex-Senator J. B. Foraker from the State of Ohio. There is no man in this country more appreciated than Mr. Foraker. The bee hopes that the republicans of Ohio will be wise and get together and return a great commoner to the United States Senate. ALONZO STAFFORD If there is any intention on the part of the school authorities of placing Mr. Alonzo Stafford in our normal school, the sooner such an idea is banished the better it will be for all parties concerned. The Bee sees but one way to settle the school question. Attorney Hemans. Lawyer Charles H. Hemans was in Baltimore, Md., last week on very important business. Lawyer Hemans is one of our aggressive young men. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac) Well, sir, if Richard R. Horner didn't go after my old college chum and fellow alumnus Nev. Thomas, then you can smoke a box of them there three-for-a-dollar White House cigars on me. J just "feared" that Nev's enthusiasm for the N. A. A. C. P. would get so much avordupois as to lead him into an ambush. When he took his stub pen in hand to indicate a few lines to Mr. Horner, he didn't know he was incitin' a lecture on snappin' turtles. Nev has just been broiling every anthracite what failed to hand over his month's salary to the society with an elongated name. He hashed Judge Terrell to a finish; he sent Rev. J. Milton to that place what Simon Peter put back in the Bible; he made, or thought he made, a soft rubber ball outer Booker T. and now he done tried to use Richard R. Horner in his abbatoir. But Richard didn't give no crazy yell like his namesake, Dick the Third, who once upon a time accordin' to Bill Shakespeare, enunciated the "a boss, a boss, my kingdom for a boss." Instead, Mr. Horner just dipped his goose quill down into a bottle of unused ink what had corroded on his desk, and sent Nev, a letter what was so cuttin' it reminded a fellow of one of them "Keen-Kutting blades" what the safety razor companies advertise. I guess Nev. will now get next to the fact that once in a while some fellows just won't be drove under the lash. Nev. is just all "het up" over this N. A. A. C. P. programme, and it's the first thing he ever got "het up" over. If he don't begin to say his rosary pretty yoon he will wake up to find he has just drove everybody out of that close corporation "ceptin' hisself. My advice to Nev. and he's a corkin' good and well meanin' fellow when you locate his reason reservoir, which is somewhat secreted. Accordin' to general comment I done learn around barber shops, in street corner assemblages and down at Aaron Gaskin's filtration plant, Mr. Horner sure did cat him up Jack. I don't see why these brothers who have a sort of mourning colored complexion don't do as Emmett Scott advises—"pinte" an arbitration board to settle their disputes. This here mixup with the catecus country where old Huerta gives a brandy smash a terrible tussle every mornin' has made some of us go back and reconsider our "joafy." We use to get up in school and say "Mexico is bounded on the north by the G. Washington country, on the west by the Pacific pond, on the east by the Gulf, etc., and we knew something" bout them there greesers country. By the time we reached the High School we just done forget that the name Mexico is related to or revived from the Aztec war god old pie-face Mexitil. There them Aztecs platted old Mexico back in 1325 and sold off the town lots for a few pesos each. Them there bull fighters, the Spaniards, discovered the catecus country in 1517. Old Cortez, who use to sell sunk in Spain, explored it about 1519. With eleven vessels, ten antique cannons and 700 bull fighters he started old Velasquez out to clean up them there Aztecs. He hit the trail as Vera Cruz, which now is Very Critical. Just to make his bull fighters fight like them there anthracite soldiers what climbed up San Juan Hill, he burned his ships and sunk his cannon in the ocean so them there bull fighters under him just had to conquer or die. Ever since that time old Mexico has been full of trouble and tribulations. I see my old friend, the consecutive card writer, J. C. Cunningham, wants me to go down there and write up conditions. Now I never did look for a hard job, and I aint lookin' for none now. I so like my comforts, "sich" as bath tubs, a cold bottle now and then at John Daney's expense, that I will have to decline with thanks Cunningham's invitation to go down and interview them there Aztecs. Cunningham is big enough to make a pretty respectable target for a 19-inch gun, and I suggest he go in my place, or send Finley Wilson if he don't say that hat bet he made with William Calvin. No, sir, I aint goin' to get no nearer to them there adole cottage dwellers than Alexandra, and I be nervous if one lone Aztec showed up down there—just as nervous as William Jennings Bryan is over holdin' his ios after maxin' so many diplomatic bulls. WEST WASHINGTON Last Sunday's meeting of the Epworth League, of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, was conceded to be the most interesting and entertaining which that organization has held during the past year.

A Lemon. From Interstate Reporter The Washington Bee said, "There are some people here who would use you like they would use a lemon-squeeze all of the juice out of you and then throw what is left away" They are just that ungrateful. Well, there are some here that way too. Albert B. Casey, Esq. The Bee is creditably informed that the next Colored appointment by the administration will be Albert B. Casey, Esq., of Newark, N. J., a young lawyer who is well known to the people of this city. Mr. Casey is a young man of ability and will no doubt fill any position given him with credit to him and his people. There is no man in the state of New Jersey who has made greater personal sacrifices and put to greater disadvantage than Mr. Casey. The Bee as well as the Colored people in this country, will welcome his appointment. A New Wrinkle—Time and again have white men been caught disguised as Negroes and often have Negroes been found "passing" for white persons, but a new wrinkle has been found: a white woman who loved the Colored people among whom she lived so much that she wore a frizzy wig of Colored people's hair and changed her complexion from blond to brunette.

MEXICO A FOURTH AS LARGE AS U.S. Interesting Facts About Repub- ilc In the South. POPULATION IS 15,000,000. Nation Covers 767,000 Square Miles. City of Mexico 264 Miles by Rail West of Vera Cruz and is 7,400 Feet Above Sea Level-Reached by Two Different Railway Lines. Washington.-The following information concerning Mexico was given out by the National Geographic society in Washington the other day: It is interesting to note that the area of Mexico is practically as great as that of the United States between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic coast, the great lakes and the gulf of Mexico, varying in altitude from sea level to 18,000 feet. Its climate is affected by these elevations and by a range of eighteen degrees of latitude. Twelve hundred miles is the distance traversed in passing south from Juarrez, on the northern boundary, to the capital, and 900 miles more to the southeastern boundary. The gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea coast line extends for 1,700 miles, while the Pacific ocean and gulf of California touch 4,000 miles of Mexican coast. Prior to 1836 Mexico, as a Spanish colony, and the United States covered approximately equal areas, but the Texas secession and the result of the Mexican war added nearly 1,000,000 square miles to our territory, and the extent of Mexico now is less than one-fourth that of continental United States. Mexico has still territorial expanse equal to the aggregate of Austria-Hungary, Germany, France, Great Britain and Ireland. The total area of the republic, 767,000 square miles, is less than that of Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona combined: The average density of population of Mexico approximates twenty per square mile, the most thickly populated portions outside of the federal districts being the states of Tlaxcala and Mexico, the former being less than Delaware in size and of about the same density of population, and the latter being nearly as large as New Hampshire, but with more than twice the number of inhabitants. The federal district, modeled after the District of Columbia, but of eight times greater area, is surrounded by the state of Mexico, the large population of the capital, 470,000, materially aiding in bringing the average to more than 1,200 per square mile. During nearly 300 years subsequent to the conquest by Cortes Spain dominated Mexico. A century ago a bold effort for freedom was started, which eventually resulted in the republic of Mexico of today. More than half of the first century of Mexican independence was abortive, one coterie after another coming into temporary power and a number of those acclaimed rulers, after brief regimes, meeting ignominious death at the hands of the people they sought to govern. The form of government adopted by Mexico follows in general that of the United States, having executive, judicial and legislative divisions. Each of the twenty-seven states is represented in two houses of congress, composed of senators and deputies. Congress holds two sessions each year for limited periods. Each state has its governor and legislature and is subdivided into districts or counties, over each of which a "jefe politico" is placed. the districts having subsidiary municipalities, with magistrates, presiding officials and councils. The so-called automatic feature of the government may be largely, due to the fact that governors hold office with an proval of the president, that jefe politicos have similar relations with the governor and that the officers of the municipalities are generally controlled by the jefe politicos. The church and state are independent, and congress cannot pass laws prohibiting or establishing any religion. Of the 16,000,000 inhabitants-two-fifths claim descent from ancient tribes or families which are accepted as the basis of Mexican history, two fifths are of native and foreign blood the remainder being classed under the common appellation of "foreign." The City of Mexico. 264 miles by rail west of Vera Cruz and 7,400 feet altitude, is reached by two rail routes climbing through the hot lands through difficult mountain passes, one of which closely follows the trail taken by Cortes in 1519, by General Winfield Scott with American troops in 1847 and over which, fifteen years later, the invading French troops passed. It is the most populous city. Snarrow Sets Fire to a Barn: St. Paul, Minn. A sparrow that dis covered a way to warm its toes dur ing a recent cold snap is blamed for the destruction of a barn belonging to L. O. Walden of Wilmington, Hous ton county. A report on the fire received by State Fire Marshal C. D. Keller says that the sparrow plucked a live ember from a bontire and carried it to its nest in the caves of the Walden barn. The ember set fire to the nest and the fire destroyed the barn with loss of $1,000. SAYS LIVING IS NO HIGHER. Investigator Digs Up Records and Makes Public His Conclusions. Makes Public His Conclusions. Bellefontaine, O.—Anson Carter, a pioneer grocer of Bellefontaine, has been searching old records regarding the comparative cost of food products now and in the past and has reached this conclusion: "Aside from three things—butter, poultry and meat—prices of staple groceries in the bulk are not higher than they were twenty-five years ago. "A man and woman can go to housekeeping today in better manner for the same amount of money than a couple could a quarter of a century ago. It is the desire of the buying public to have so much prepared food and so many things done up in attractive packages that has increased the cost of living. "The average can of baked beans does not contain 2 cents' worth of beans, and a package of crackers contains but little more than four ounces. People are avoiding preparing food for themselves. "If people would continue to buy everything in the bulk at the grocery as they used to do and cook their food for themselves as they used to do there would not be a high cost of living problem." RENTED HEN STRIKES. Quits Laying, and Owner Has to Sue Neighbor For Rent. Sunbury, Pa.—When eggs touched 60 cents a dozen recently Philip Bradford of Sunbury discovered a new form of speculation. It was revealed in Squire Tierney's court when Bradford brought suit against a neighbor to collect rental for a hen. Bradford has a lot of hens. Instead of collecting his eggs and selling them he rented out the fowls at 2 cents a day, the renter winning if the hens continued to lay properly. One of them was rented to James H. Snyder, but instead of laying she wanted to sit—and sit was all she did. When Bradford attempted to collect his rental Snyder refused to pay. Squire Tierney gave judgment for 50 cents against Snyder. BABY TALK BREAKS HIS LONG SILENCE Spo-Pe, Indian of Mystery, Speaks For First Time. Washington.-Spo-Pe, the Indian man of mystery, an inmate of the criminal division of the Government Hospital For the Insane at Washington, has broken a silence of more than thirty-two years. Spo-Pe's self imposed disuse of his talking apparatus has continued ever since the first day of his incarceration at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, in 1882. Adjudged of unsound mind at the fort, he was sent to the government hospital in 1882. His silence was accepted by the army medical examiners as a convincing symptom of melancholia. The crime for which the Indian was imprisoned was the murder of a fur trader, an act of reprisal against the white race for the killing of his mother in one of the hostile interchanges between the United States troops and the Blackfoot Indians in 1879. It remained for Mrs. Malcolm Clark, one of a party of members of the Blackfoot tribe, herself a halfbreed, to reawaken Spo-Pe's slumbering vocal organs. Times without number during his incarceration efforts have been made, to persuade Spo-Pe to talk. Not a syllable, not even a grunt, has the aged warrior volunteered. But when Mr. and Mrs. Clark, in company with James Perrine and Charles W. Buck, paid a visit to the insane hospital they explained to the superintendent that they had understood there was an Indian among the inmates. Mrs. Clark had Spo-Pe pointed out to her. With her husband she addressed him in the stilted but eloquent Indian tongue. Spo-Pe gave no indication that he understood. Then Mrs. Clark said to her friends, "Step back, let me whisper to him." She sat down beside the solemn red man and began a musical form of baby talk, "the language of little people," as the Indians call it. She crooned and crooned to the gray headed man until finally the stolid heart seemed to melt. "What is your name?" she said, still in the infant dialect. "Spo-Pe," came from the lips of the stole. And for the first time since he entered the hospital Spo-Pe had broken his silence. Finding that his tongue would really perform its office, Spo-Pe's first question was: "Where is Three Bears?" Three Bears was a brother of the Indian who died in 1888. Since the breaking of the thirty-two years' silence Spo-Pe has expressed a willingness to discourse, but as the Blackfoot language is not universally known in the government hospital he finds considerable difficulty in obtaining companionship. Injury Restores Hearing. Loogooote, Ind.-Charles A. Bertrand, aged sixty-five, a harnessmaker, deaf fifteen years, met with a fortunate accident. He was stooping to pick a tool from the floor when a file fell from a bench and stuck in his ear. It was removed with difficulty. Soon afterward Bertrand found that his hearing had been restored. PALACE PH. WS. Miss Vivian udup, colored gu of 514 Franklin Street, cambridge, Mass., who has been in the employ of a well-known Commonwealth Aven- ue physician, as nursemaid, is now his private secretary, Miss Crudup will graduate from the High and Latin school in June. Senator T. T Allain; another die last week at New Orleans, at the age of 90 years. A bill has been introduced in Congre- sby by Congressman Madden of Il- inois, calling for an appropriation of $150,000 to aid the exposition of the Colored race that will be held in Chicago next year. Men are born with two eyes and one tongue, that is why they should see twice as much as they say. Mr. L. E. Allen of Johnetta, Pa., has a copy of the first edition of the Maryland Journal and Baltimore advertiser, dated Aug. 26, 1773. The paper contains an advertisement inserted by George Washington, advertising 20,000 acres of land to lease. After proposing three times and being rejected on account of his ugliness, a man in London was injured in an accident so severely that when he recovered his face had been completely reconstructed, decidedly for the better. He proposed and was accepted. W. M. Crawford, a railway conductor of Jackson, Ga., has a curiosity in a $30.00 bill which was offered him for fare. The bill was issued November 2, 1776. A teacher in a big elementary school had given lessons to an infants' class on the ten commandments. In order to test their memories she asked: "Can any little child give me a commandment with only four words in it?" A little hand was raised immediately. "Well?" said the teacher. "Keep off the grass," was the reply. Real friendship is a slow grower and never thrives unless engrafted upon a stock of known and reciprocal merit. According to a report from "The Crisis," from a class of 108 pupils in a Brooklyn public school, two Colored girls, the only Colored pupils in the class, took the only prizes offered, a bronze medal for proficiency in spelling and a silver medal for excellent work in German. Last fall it became known that an old sugar house on a Louisiana plantation was the home of hundreds of rats, and a boy set traps for them. He was promised a nickel apiece, by a fur dealer, for the pelt of each rat caught; up to the last of January the bay had caught 2,125 of the varnints. He scattered sunflower seeds around the place and the rats came from buildings three miles away. A close estimate has it, that a rat does $10 damage in the course of a year on a farm. By failing to pay interest of $140,000 due in June, 1913, when the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Company went into the hands of a receiver, has caused that Company to lose its one-half interest in the New Orleans terminal, amounting to $8,000,000, leaving the Southern Railway in sole possession, the appellate division of the Supreme Court decided. G. F. Sleets, a Louisville Colored soldier, member of the U. S. 24th infantry, in a letter to his mother, sends a very interesting statement, denying the many reports that have been sent out from his regiment, that Colored soldiers were mistreated in the Philippines. He states that the same treatment that is accorded the Colored soldiers is given the whites. That any of the soldiers who are displeased or who have a hard time are the soldiers who do not care to obey the army rules and regulations. Rules Superintendent Thurston Hopes Pupils Will Follow to Stop Inroads of the White Plague in Schools. Five thousand copies of its health rules are being distributed to the fifth grade pupils of the public schools by the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. The association has received the cordial co-operation of the board of education and Superintendent Thurston and his staff, in the inculcation of the lessons set forth in the rules. They are as follows: Avoid badly ventilated, badly lighted, dusty, dirty, overheated, crowded, or damp rooms. Breathing dust, notably house dust, often causes disease. Have no tacked down carpets and mattings. Have loose pieces or rugs, and clean them frequently outdoors. Use a hair broom for your floors, and keep lower sashes closed while sweeping or dusting. Open upper sashes if possible. Never sweep rooms with a broom that raises dust. Drink pure water. Avoid water from shallow and unprotected wells, and from ponds and streams. If in doubt, boil the water. Tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and other diseases are often caused by drinking raw milk and raw cream. Get milk properly pasteurized, or home-pasteurize it or simply scald it. All cream, including that used for ice cream and butter, should be properly pasteurized to be safe. Get enough sleep. Sleep with windows open or, better still, outdoors. Take a bath or sponge daily, and a warm bath, followed by a cold splash, plunge, or shower, once or twice a week or oftener. Use soap freely. Wash your hands before handling food. House & Herrmann I all kinds and description, House and Hemann is the place to visit.

Teachers' Organization of the District of Columbia. Editor, The Bee: The time has come, when men of color must get together and be less selfish in their work for the greater uplift of a rapidly progressing people. No one body of people can do more for the racial uplift than the teaching body. The fiduciary relation existing between teacher and pupil puts the teacher, in place of the parent for a most important period of the day. The teacher helps to mold character and contributes much in his influence for better citizenship. Our race needs more organizations to unify the best thoughts of the best thinking people for practical good. A group of over three hundred teachers., in the Washington Public Schools have formed The Teachers' Association of the District of Columbia. This association is a fixity, and is absolutely non-partisan. It was incorporated in April under the laws of the District of Columbia. Its purposes are, "To elevate the character of teaching; to advance the A woman looks in a mirror. A. Ceruti, 105 N.

C., and to bring the members into relations of mutual assistance, and cooperation. The personnel of the association consists of bona fide teachers of classes representing each and every branch of our teaching departments. These teachers have rendered true service for the great good of the colored youth, and should deserve the highest praise of the ranking officials as well as the citizens of the D. C. President Richard A. Gillen has received many complimentary expressions from some of the noted educators of the United States, on the organization. The growing need of unity among educators of color is paramount at this time, especially, in the great capital city, where educational advantages for the man of color are comparatively greater than in the average city. Some teachers in the association have degrees of Bachelor of Pedagogy, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Laws, Master of Laws, Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Philosophy. Many of the members are graduates of Washington Normal School Number Two. This institution, in thirty years of its activity has given to the country 1500 teachers, forty-five per cent of whom are still engaged in the work. Its graduates are in the states from Illinois to Texas. The average teacher in the association has directly influenced the lives of one thousand and fifty pupils in his teaching experience. Many are leaders in their churches. All have had experience, which should be a guarantee that the colored pupils are not the victims of untrained teachers. In short it seems irrefutable, that a more proficient and representative group of Colored teachers can not be found in the world. Superintendent Ernest L. Thurston of the Washington Public Schools addressed the association May first. He congratulated the association, and delivered an eminently practical talk on "The Fundamental Qualities of a Genuine Teacher," in plain and not ambiguous language. His wise counsel, and scholarly address, as well as his unqualified just treatment of the Colored teacher has won for him the highest and sinceerest regard as well as the confidence of the whole body of teachers, without exception. The association feels greatly indebted to Superintendent Thurston for a school building as their meeting place. There is but one system under Mr. Thurston. Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, addressed the association on May fourth.

NOW IN MEXICAN WATERS Come From a Family of Fighters His Father Killed In Civil War Known in Navy as Excellent Disciplinarian—Is Put In Charge of Battleships Which Have "Gone Wrong." Washington—This story begins in Galena, Ill., in the days which immediately preceded the outbreak of the civil war. Every one knows that one of the unregarded citizens of Galena at that time was Ulysses S. Grant. He had been a captain in the United States army, but he had resigned, and he was poor. "Bush," said Grant one day to his nearest friend, Bushrod Howard, "we'll have a war, sure. And I'm going." Bushrod Howard had commanded a company in the Mexican war. He came of a fighting family. "I agree with you," said he. "And I'm going too. We'll each raise a company." "Bush," said Grant, "you can't afford to go to war. If anything happened to you who would take care of your family?" "Ulyss," said Howard, "you can't afford to go to war either. But you're going, aren't you?" The two men made a friendly compact. If either failed to return from the war the survivor pledged himself to watch over those left behind. Captain Howard raised his company and was killed with most of his men in a railroad accident on his way to the front. After the war Grant interested himself in Howard's two sons. One was sent to West Point. The other. 75 photo by American Press Association BEAR ADMIRAL HOWARD. omas Bushrod, received an appoint at to Annapolis. When he graduate Grant-sent him a sum of money.

Atchison, Kan.-Hick Colgan, a农 er living northwest of this city, captur volves in one week. In the years Colgan has received RICH TO HELL—POOR TO HEAVEN Luke 15:19-31-May 17. "Whoo stoppeth his cars at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard." Proverbs 8:11. ID Jesus mean this? Are the rich to spend eternity in misery because of faring sumptuously every day, and wearing purple and fine linen? To get to Heaven must we be poor beggars, covered with sores, and eating crumbs from a rich man's table? Has character nothing to do with future rewards and punishment? Again, will the rich, tormented in fire, see the poor in bliss, and will the honored poor see the rich in eternal misery? For many years this parable has distressed God's people; both heart and head have rebelled. We remembered that Abraham and other Biblical personages were rich; and that God Himself is very rich. Finally we looked the subject up in both Hebrew and Greek, and found that Abraham did not go to Gehenna, the hopeless condition, the Second Death, but to Sheol, Hades, the grave, the death state, where there is no fire. Our greater knowledge increased the mystery; for the Scriptures declare that Sheol, Hades, the tomb, is to be destroyed; and that all are to be brought from it in the resurrection. No other Scripture seemed to agree with this parable, except as we might use for its support one text in Revelation, which speaks of a symbolic beast and a symbolic false prophet in torment. Thus thinking Christians have been perplexed for centuries by the story of this lesson. Now All Is Clear—Plain. Now we see that our lesson is a parable. (Matthew 13:34.) To take it literally involves the absurdity of supposing that all beggars go to Heaven, and all wealthy to Hell; for the parable says nothing about character. But in a parable the thing said is not the thing meant. Thus wheat and sheep represent children of God; tares and goats represent those dominated by the Adversary ```markdown ``` In our lesson the rich man was the In our lesson the Rich Man's Table. rich man was the Jewish nation. The promises, the Prophets and the Law Covenant were their purple, fine linen and sumptuous table. The fine linen symbolized their typical justification through typical sacrifices. The purple rament typified royalty; for they were the typical kingdom. The sumptuous fare represented the Divine promises, as St. Paul implies.—Romans 11:9. In Jesus' day Jewish favor began to end. They were completely cut off in A. D. 70, as all Jews admit. Figuratively, the rich man died and was buried. Nationally the Jews went to Hades, the tomb; and their resurrection has not yet been accomplished, although Zionism is its beginning. Nationally dead and buried, the Jews individually have had anguish of soul, as they have received persecutions, sometimes, alas from those who profess the name of Jesus, but deny Him in practice. For nineteen centuries the Jews have cried to God, represented in the parable by Abraham. The only answer they have had is that there is a gulf between them and Jehovah. Thank God, the New Dispensation dawns, in which the rich man will return from Hades! Israel will be rehabilitated.—Ezekiel 1! Israel will be rehabilitated.—Ezekiel 1! etc. The Poor Man of the Parable. Lazarus represented an outcast class —publicans and sinners, who had alienated themselves from God's favor; and Gentiles, to whom favor had never been extended. (Ephesians 2:12; These had no fine line of typical fus tification, no purple of Kingdom prospects, no rich promises. All that they could have were crumbs from the rich man's table. ```markdown ``` The Scriptures illustrate two such crumbs given by Jesus. His healing of the Roman centurion's servant, at the request of the Lazarus at the Gate. on's servant, at the request of the Jews, was a crumb. Similarly, the Syro-Phoenician woman got a crumb when she entreated Jesus to heal her daughter. Jesus noted her faith and gave her the desired crumb. See Mat thew 15:24:28. As the Jews died to their favor, so the outcasts died to their disfavor. The early Church was made up of this Lazarus class. In the parable they are represented as Abraham's children in his arms. Jesus and His followers are Abraham's S-serial Seed. Thus St Paul writes: *Galatians 3:28* Dives' Five Brethren. The parable mentions the fact that the rich man had five brothers. In Jesus' day the Jews? Palestine represented chiefly the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin, while the majority of the other ten tribes were scattered abroad. The statement of the parable "They have Moses and the Prophets," proves that Jews only were referred to; for no Gentile had Moses and the Prophets. The number five is also in accord. Whereas two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, were represented by one rich man, proportionately the other ten tribes would be represented by five brothers. Prisoner Said He Was Fourth President's Great-great-grandson. Savannah, Ga.—F. A. Madison, who says he is a direct descendant of President Madison, was locked up here after a street fight and after he had surrendered a razor which he said originally was the property of James Madison. The prisoner was held as a witness and then released. Madison, who was a stranger in Savannah, was set upon and beaten by two men whom he said he did not know. His cries for assistance brought a policeman, who arrested one of the men, but was unable to catch the other. Madison also was taken to the station, and as he was being searched the policeman found the razor in the prisoner's pocket. "Officer, please let me keep that," pleaded Madison. "It's against the rules," replied the policeman. "Can't you let me have it? I wouldn't take anything for it," begged the prisoner. "James Madison was my great-great-grandfather and that razor and the family Bible are all of his possessions that we have left in the family now. I have been hungry and broke and without a place to sleep, but I have never parted with that razor." He took the razor with him when he was released. WOULD DECIMALIZE TIME. Frenchman Proposes Twenty Hores and a Thousand Chrones For a Day. Paris. — A suggestion is made in the current Revue Bleue for the purpose of bringing the chronological system into line with the decimalization of money, weights and distance. The new proposal involves the division of the day into twenty periods, called horses, instead of twenty-four hours, each horse being similarly divided into fifty periods, called chrones, each chrone—about one and a half minutes—being the thousandth part of a day—as the gram and the meter are the thousandth part, respectively, of the kilogram and kilometer. The chrones are further subdivided into centi-chrones, the equivalent of a second. The devliser of the plan asserts that the new system would facilitate marine observation, besides simplifying calculations of time generally. The French government, however, shows no inclination to adopt the idea. HISTORY OF MARTHA WASHINGTON WILL Washington.—The first authoritative explanation of the manner in which J. Plerpion Morgan came into possession of the Martha Washington will, to regain the custody of which the governor and citizens of Virginia have threatened legal measures, was given out by Mr. Morgan. "The will of Martha Washington was taken from the Fairfax courthouse in 1802," Mr. Morgan said, "by a colonel of the Union army, who rescued it from destruction by his men. This officer retained it in his possession for thirty years and shortly before his death in 1892 gave it to his daughter who, thirteen years later, in 1905, sold it to the late J. Plerpion Morgan. "This account she related at the time of the transfer. She stated that her father's regiment garrisoned Fairfax Court House in 1862 and that he had headquarters in the courthouse. Another command had previously occupied the place, and the men had broken open the safes. The floors were littered with papers which the colonel's men used in making fires. Entering headquarters one day he found his men sloveling papers into a stove. He stopped them, and in examining the papers found the Martha Washing ton will. "He carefully preserved the document throughout his life, and on the eve of his death gave it to his daughter." The correspondence shows that Mr. Morgan suggested to the governor of Virginia two plans for the preservation and exhibition of the Martha Washington will. One is that Mr. Morgan would present the will for public exhibition at Mount Vernon, the other is that the will be preserved by the congressional library at Washington. With both of these suggestions Mr. Morgan couples another, that George Washington's will, now Virginia's property, be exhibited with it. MARRY AT LONG RANGE. Woman In Holland and Man In Wisconsin Are Curiously Wed. Superior, Wis. - Johannes Jacobus Kuyk, after a wedding ceremony pre- liminaries for which lasted several months, is a married man. His bride was Miss Maria Louise Grotendorst of Holland. They were married by mail. The bride is expected to arrive from Holland June 13. Final papers uniting the couple have arrived from Holland. A number of officials took part in the ceremony. When Mrs. Kuyk arrives she will be accompanied by Miss Nelle Rees of Holland, who is to become the bride of G. Kuyk of Grand Ruils Mine. Percy Mackaye to Have Airship as Part of Big Civic Spectacle. New York. - Percy Mackaye, poet and playwright, has been in consultation here with aviation experts as to the selection of an aeroplane and pilot to take part in the great civic spectacle, part of which he is preparing for St. Louis in connection with the celebration this summer of the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the settlement of white men on the site of that city. Mr. Mackaye's part in the celebration is the staging of his work, "The Masque of St. Louis." The spirit of the mound builders, who is made happy by the appearance of a child of a new race restoring civilization; spirits representing the Mississippi river and the nations of Europe, pioneers led by the youthful St. Louis and earth spirits led by Gold, who is conquered by Love and Imagination, are characters to be seen in the spectacle. The aeroplane is to represent a giant eagle, the emblem of Union, which files across the scene at the close of the spectacle. It is likely that a biplane will be chosen for this purpose. FLIES CAUSED EPIDEMIC. London Government Board Objects to Offending Dust Heap. London.—An outbreak of enteritis occurred last summer among the children in the Southwark infirmary, and nine died. The epidemic was definitely traced to the presence near the infirmary of the Camberwell borough council's dump for dust and rubbish, which is now taken to a railway sliding at East Dulwich railway station, close to the infirmary. The local government board has again called upon the Camberwell borough council to make other arrangements for the removal of its dust and rubbish. Dr. Bruce, the medical superintendent, declared that the cause of the outbreak was to be found in the dust sliding. During hot weather, he said, the institution swarmed with files, and the children's wards were unbearable. Dr. Fletcher, a $ ^{3} $ local government board Inspector, supported Dr. Bruce, but the borough council for the second time declined to take action and merely acknowledged the board's letter. UNWORKED INDIAN MOUNDS ARE FOUND Six Groups With No Previous Record Located In Wisconsin. Madison, Wis.—Rich Indian finds have been made, recently in three counties of northern Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Archaeological society is publishing an account of the explorations conducted by two of its members, J. P. Schumacher of Green Bay and W. A. Titus of Fond du Lac, in Portage, Marathon and Lincoln counties recently. A study was made by these men, both of whom are experienced investigators, of the aboriginal remains still existing about Wausau, Merrill, Tomahawk, Heaford and other places along the upper Wisconsin river. Near Bradley and Heafford surveys were made of six distinct groups of Indian earthworks of which there had been no previous state record. The largest of these consisted of thirty-three conical and oval mounds. An emblematic mound in one of the groups is the only one of its class as yet located in northern Wisconsin. It is more than sixty miles north of the northernmost limit of the effugy mound territory. At this place there also exists a fine plot of old Indian garden beds. In Portage county the work of the investigators was chiefly confined to the regions about Lakes Emily and Onneland, near each of which important discoveries were made. GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE Husband - Set Ablaze When Lamp, Hurled at Him, Explodes. Atlantic City, N. J. - "This makes good evidence upon which I can get a divorce," was the reply of John Hamilton to the police, when they demanded that he sign a complaint against his wife and met with a flat refusal. The wife. It is alleged, in a rage hurled a lighted lamp at his head, which struck the wall, exploded, fired his clothing and set the furniture and carpets in his home afame. Fireman found him unconscious on the floor after they had used chemical fluid to conquer the blaze. He was sent to the hospital, where his burns were dressed. His injuries are not serious. GROCERS ALSO POLICEMEN. Three Hundred Kansas City Tradesmen Now Prepared For Swindlers. Kansas City.—Hereafter if the Kansas City, Kan., housewife needs a policeman in a hurry and canNOT find one she may call on the corner grocer to protect the family plate. This was made possible when special police commissions were given to 300 grocers. The grocers want, the commissions mainly to arrest check forgers, money order raisers, short change men and others who vietilize them, but they will also serve as neighborhood protectors. FILIPINOS USE LESS OPIUM. Habit Checked, Consumption Reduced, Says Government Report. Washington.-Consumption of opium among the Filipinos has been completely checked, if not entirely eradicated, says a report to Brigadier General McIntyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, from the collector of internal revenue in the Philippines. He says that as a result of laws on the subject "the use of opium is now confined to a comparatively small number of confirmed users of the drug, practically all of whom are Chinese, who cannot give up the vice and who will go to any length to obtain it." While there are in many parts of the islands scattering instances where Filipinos still indulge in the use of opium, it is reported that less than 5 per cent of the former Filipino users, who had numbered 40,000 in 1900, were still victims of the vice in 1911 and that since then conditions in Manila have greatly improved. Conditions in the provinces are said to be fairly satisfactory. "It is perhaps too much," the report says, "to suspect that the opium evil will ever be absolutely suppressed in the Philippine Islands. It may be said, however, that almost without exception Chinese users of opium in any of its forms are today using a much smaller amount them that used by the same persons a few years ago. This is shown by the comparative ease with which Chinese users sent to the hospital today are cured. The only hope of approximating total suppression lies in making indulgence in the habit so difficult that the younger generation will not acquire it, and in this direction the progress made has certainly been most satisfactory." 18 MOUNTAIN LIONS BAGGED. Success of Hunt Conducted In the Yellowstone-Park. Gardiner, Mont.-One of the most unique hunts in history and one that is being conducted on a large scale is the mountain lion drive in the Yellowstone National park. Within fifteen days eighteen lions were bagged, including the largest specimen ever seen in this region. The hunt is going on by permission of the government. The largest lion was jumped at a point near Gardiner and led the hunters and dogs a chase of forty-five miles before it was killed near the starting point. The method pursued in hunting the lions is to trail a beast to a tree or some spot where he seeks safety after desperately trying to outwit the pack of dogs chasing him. The lion then is shot. Cleveland- Eastern time has officially superseded central standard time here. Clevelanders are fitting their appetites and sleeping hours to the new time. The new time had a preliminary tryout in many business places and homes. In offices clocks were turned ahead an hour at noon lunch period. Employees returned to work on central time, thus getting an extra hour. The majority of Clevelanders, however, lost an hour when clocks were turned ahead. The Cleveland Athletic club observed the change with an "eastern time" party, and factory whistles announced the shifting of clocks. Clocks in public schools were moved ahead. In many buildings special exercises were held. Churches, both Protestant and Catholic, will go by eastern time. At the new courthouse central time prevails, a state statute prescribing central time must be used.* So far as the chamber of commerce could learn, not a Cleveland factory or business house will continue to be governed by central standard time. All churches conduct their services under the new order. Theaters, saloons and professional and amateur baseball organizations observe the change. The dairymen and truck gardeners have arranged to make their rounds an hour earlier, so breakfast need not be late. The movement for eastern time became state wide last winter, but the legislature failed to provide for the change. Cleveland then took the initiative. DELIVERS POSTAL TO DOG. Carrier Calls "Tige" to Every One Until Right Tail Wags. Hammond, Ind. - A postal card came from Hot Springs, Ark. directed to "Tige. Hammond, Ark." Postal authorities pondered over it long. It read "Darling Tige, are you a good dog?" and was signed "Mother." Julius Kosanke, a mail carrier, agreed to deliver it. He called "Tige" at dogs all day and was chased by them. He at last came to a house where a boy legged, swaybacked ball pup came out to meet him. The dog growled savagely, and Kosanke said, "Hello, Tige!" and the dog wagged his stubby tail. The carrier asked the woman of the house whether her dog's name was Tige. "It is. Have you a letter from his mother?" she asked Kosanke, and then continued "Well, here is a letter to his mother, please mail it." ATTACKED BY WILDCAT. Animal Killed In Air as It Leaped on Shoulders of Warden. Bangor, Me.-The life of Game Warden E. S. Hodgkins was saved recently in the woods near here by the quickness and unerring aim of William Ryer, proprietor of a set of sporting camps, at Hound Brook lake. The two men had been hunting wildcats with dogs and had killed two of the animals. They were standing under a tree when Mr. Ryer chanced to look up ward. Perched on a branch directly above the game warden was another cat, as large again as either of those that had been killed. The animal was creeping slowly forward, his lips drawn back over his glittering teeth and the look of a demon on his savage face. Just as Ryer's eye caught the cat the animal gave a start and leaped full for Warden Hodgkins, still unconscious of his danger. Ryer, shouting a hasty cry of warning, whipped his 38 caliber revolver from his bolster and fired while the cat was in the air. The bullet struck the animal between the eyes and he dropped dead. "It was the closest call I ever had, and I never want another like it." Warden Hodgkins said in telling of the affair. SURGEONS MAKE AN EYELID. Patient Had Been Burned About the Head When a Child. Baltimore.—A rare operation in optical surgery was performed at a hospital here when three large pieces of skin were taken from the arm of Miss Sarah Trego to make a new lid for her left eye. It is thought the sight of the eye, which was rapidly falling on account of exposure, will be saved by the operation. Already the grafted skin has started to take root, and the patient can partly open and close the eyelid. After the skin was taken from Miss Trego's arm the scarred tissue surrounding the eye and the membrane of the lid were removed. In the denuded area the skin of the patient's arm was grafted. BROKE LAST YEAR, NOW WORTH $83,000 Borrows $6, Goes to Alaska and Makes Fortune. Portland, Ore.-Dead broke less than a year ago and working at odd jobs cleaning basements and yards in this city and now worth $3,000, all of which was secured through his own efforts, is the experience of W. B. Connell, an Alaska miner. To H. A. Davle, deputy city attorney of this city, is largely due much of the credit for the good fortune which has befallen the lucky miner. Connell came to Davle last July with the story that he knew Judge Davle, the local attorney's father, who was formerly a judge in British Columbia. He had a hard luck story and pleaded for work. Davle gave him some odd jobs cleaning the yard and basement in his home, for which he paid the man $2. After the work was completed the stranger asked for $6 for railway fare to Seattle, from which place he intended to go to Alaska. The man appeared to be honest, and he gave Connell $6. That was the last heard of the man until a few days ago, when he received a letter written from the White Horse river, Yukon territory. Connell said that he had reached Alaska and had gone to the Chisana gold fields and there had located on three claims. "I have sold the three claims," writes Connell, "to a New York syndicate for $83,000—$12,000 cash, $10,000 in three months and the remainder in six months. So, taking everything into consideration, I have not done so aw- nfully bad since last July, when I was flat broke. I shall certainly make it my business to visit Portland and see you and your family. I have a notion to quit the mining game, as $83,000 will keep me if I use it as it should be used "By the way, I have a couple of nuggets to send you and your wife and also one for your sister. I often thought of you and Mrs. Diffle. She was very kind to me when I was cleaning out your basement. This is a real happening in a miner's life—broke one day and plenty of money the next." Concluding his letter, Connell said the Chisana country was no place for a poor man, because all the claims were staked and prices of everything are "sky high." HAS KEY TO ALL LANGUAGE. French Teacher Invents System of International Correspondence. Paris.—A teacher named J. Orsat has invented an ingenious system of international correspondence. Every word in the French language is referred to by a number, and a corresponding number is given to the same word in all other languages. Thus a merchant desiring to write to a foreign customer need only turn the words of his own language into numbers, and the customer can retranslate the numbers into the words of his language. Dictionaries based on this system in all tongues are being prepared. M. David, the minister of commerce, has given his approbation to the idea. M. Orsat does not believe in the practicability of a spoken universal language.
