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 WHITE MOTHER COLORED FATHER Was it Because the Father was Colored? White Child Taken From Its Mother. What Does It Mean? A case of peculiar interest was tried in the Juvenile Court on last Wednesday, May 13. Before the court were a white woman and her white boy-child, of about nine years, by a former husband, and the present colored husband. The case appears to have been brought for the reason that it was alleged that the boy has not a suitable home, and the question appeared to be as to what disposition was to be made of him. Glyde, the boy, had been attending a white school for a number of years, but was recently sent home because he was suspected of being colored. Satisfactory evidence having been brought before Superintendent Thurston promptly reinstated the boy and white school. There was no testimony to show that the home was unsuitable, except that of an acceptor of the Board of Children's Guardians who admitted that she had not visited the home, but stated that said home was an ordinary colored home in a colored neighborhood. The colored husband, William Williams, told the court that he was able and willing to take care of the boy, and there was no evidence adduced to show that he was not. Had the matter ended for the court would, no doubt, have ordered the child back to the mother. But the circumstances of the case seemed to require further and more investigation in order to ascertain a moral character of the mother. Some parties had sent down in Virginia where the mother has recently lived, and found that the woman has been duly married to the father of the boy; but, from what followed, it appears they were not satisfied. They traced the woman further and found that, after the death of the father of the boy, she gave birth to a child which she admitted to be by a cologed father. An attempt was also made to prove that the woman was not legally married to Williams, but fortunately, the latter had wisely preserved the marriage certificate, which, after being corroborated by the Clery on the court, was accepted as a fact. The fact that the woman had had an illegitimate child by a colored man during the interval between the death of the first husband and her marriage with the last, was taken as a presumption of present immorality, although no evidence was produced to show that the woman had not really and truly reformed. Under ordinary circumstances, the bare fact of marriage presumes reformation, it matters not what the quality of previous immorality may have been. Many cases may be cited where not only has such presumption been sustained, but where heavy damages have been allowed for likeliness reference to a previous mode of living, even when shown to have been immoral. In this case the court committed the boy to the Board of Children's Guardians. When the woman heard the decision and realized that her child was go be taken from her, she fainted from the shock, and was with great difficulty resuscitated. While the woman was lying on the grass in the court yard suffering as only a mother can, a swaggering white man, resembling a cross between a Georgia "cracker" and a Baltimore "thug," enquired on a bystander as to the cause of the woman's suffering, and upon being informed that she was married to a colored man, contentiously and murderously exclaimed, "She ought to be hanged!" COLLEGE MEN'S BANQUET. Distinguished Men Have a Smoker in Honor of Judge Terrell. A group of Harvard men, of the Middle Atlantic States, gathered in the parlors of the Philip F. Brooks catering establishment. Fourteenth and S Streets Northwest, on Friday night, May 22, to honor Judge Hobert H. Terrell, who was recently confirmed as one of the judges of the Municipal Court. In lieu of the customary banquet, a veritable "Harvard smoker" was given in honor of the judge. A company of men, representing classes as remote as 1871 and as recent as 1913, vied with one another in their congratulations to Judge Terrell and their praises of Harvard University. Among those who gave toasts were H. L. Bailey, D. A. Brown, R. C. Bruce, C. L. Davis, H. G. Douglass, T. M. Gregory, M. A. Hawkins, G. D. Houston, W. J. Howard, Jr. A. L. Locke, C. J. Murphy, J. H. N. Waring, T. C. Williams, W. Winsey, G. G. Woodson. Each toast was followed by "Fair Harvard" and other college songs traditionally Harvard. Judge Terrell, who is endowed in a rare degree, with amabilie humor, responded in a most fitting manner, thanking the men for the deference which they were paying him, and assuring them that as a son of Harvard he would always remain true to Harvard's "Veritas." Protracted applause, fluttering Harvard pennants, and lusty Harvard cheers followed Judge Terrell's remarks. After several hours of genuine fellowship, the "smoker" was brought to a close with the strains of "Oh, He's a Jolly Good Fellow." REMARKS AT BANQUET Of Harvard Men—By Robert H. Terrell My Brothers: This is not only an unusual event, but it is also a celebrated gathering of men of color. We are met to applaud a victory that keeps open the door of hope and opportunity to people who have made their way in the world against tremendous odds and over obstacles that would have crushed to earth a less hardy and a less ambitious race. Again, this meeting is unique, because it is composed of men who represent what is best in Negro scholarship in this country—each one capable of defending his brief along the line of his endeavor. H. D. R. H. PPLC Banned by His College Churns H D R O L P P L L Ranqiated by the Gloe Chums Among us tonight are those who began and finished their college life in that grand old institution situated on the banks or the Charles, famed for the scholarly attainments of her alumni—a university whose traditions are revered by her sons as a sacred heritage in which all of them may share and share alike. There are others here who were trained first elsewhere, but whose desire for the highest culture and deepest learning was not to be satisfied until they had joined and become a part of that colony of scholars who gather within the classic walls of America's foremost university, where merit and not race or color is the test of manhood. For, from the day that Crispus Attucks, the black patriot, gave the full measure of his devotion to his country and fell a martyr in State Street, Harvard College, our alma mater, abolished all distinctions founded on race or any previous condition for which a man himself is not responsible. The poet Dryden was a graduate of Cambridge University and later in life was honored by a degree from Oxford, of which university he became passionately fond. In an outburst of enthusiasm and love for Oxford, he wrote these words: "Oxford, a dearer name to me shall be than my own mother university: Thebes did my green, unknowing youth engage, I choose Athens in my riper age." "And so some of our brothers here may sing with Dryder! Burning with an ambition for what is best in American scholastic training, they found their way to the institution over whose gateway is enblazoned the word "Veritas." And there they so maintained themselves, that we are proud to have them among us as our brothers. Tonight we are all of one class and one clan—children of the same benign mother, ready to perform any duty that Harvard demands of her sons in return for all of those benefits of culture we enjoyed while we were within her sacred precincts. We are not boastful in speech nor are we unduly proud in spirit as to Harvard and the accomplishment of her graduates. They are their own best eulogy. It may be said, however, that the colored graduates of Harvard are deserving of all praise for the records they have made there. They had no rich inheritance from a distant part, either in brains or in money, to aid them in their struggle for an education. All of the grand possibilities of the future had to find their generating force in these men, the descendants of a people who had just emerged from a cruel and degrading slavery. It delights us now to recall those days of charming association and delightful memory which we spent under the tender care of our foster mother, in spite of all [Image of a woman with a large afro hairstyle, wearing a white blouse and a skirt with a belt. She is standing with her hands on her waist.] MISS NANNE H. BROUGHS President of the National Training School for Women and Girls—The Most Progressive Woman in the United States. the hard knocks we had to endure to in the victory that gives each one us the right to a place in this se- cive had Plato and Emerson. Homer and Shakespeare as friends the charm of whose words is still with us, though the wisdom of these may long also have been forgotten, is a blessing that comes only to the few. For us, such a privilege has its own peculiar value. "My brothers, I cannot thank you too much for this evidence of your kindly feeling and this tribute to my humble efforts to serve my community and my race well. I am glad that I am able to stand in the path of attack, when the assault upon my people was made, and finally to come out of the contest bringing with me a victory that not only reounds to the honor and glory of the colored American, but which should also be regarded as a sign of hope and encouragement to every colored boy in our land. If my work as a judge or as a teacher has been done well, the foundation for it was laid in the halls and in the class rooms of Harvard, from whose doors no man is ever driven because of his race, and where the struggle for the prize is based on brain in the lecture hall and on brawn and skill on the campus.

May 26.—The eighty-seventh annual session of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church came to an end early this morning with the announcement of the appointments by Bishop Alexander Walters, who presided.

White's East Baltimore, W. J. Robinson; West Baltimore, Charles G. Ashton; Arlington, Va., B. Nelson; Rockville, Md., T. E. Roach; Burrville, D. C. Logan Johnson; Washington-Metropolitan, R. A.

The world, be de-| Glared, spends its time thinklag about these things rather than about the things that pertain to God, to Iils will and His ways, and to the everlasting Ufe of the future. Then the Pastor reminded his audi- ‘ence how this state of mental inactiv!- ty has been brought about. While the work! in general may be sald to be asleep, in one sense of the word it Is dead. ‘Thus the Apostle declares of the Church. “You * * * were dead In trespassos and sins.” The whole worl? _ 13 under the sentence of death passed upon Father Adam because of his dis- obedience'to the Divine command. Our first parents sinned, and thelr posterl- ty, all mankind, shared with them the Penalty, “Dying. thou shalt die."—Gen- esis 2:17, margin. But this degth sentence that was Passed upon alf has been changed, the speaker asserted, to be a sentence of ‘sleep, from which there is to be an awakening. Gol forcknew the fall of man, and purposed to redeem the hu- men family from death. In the Divine Program Jesus was the Lamb of God slain from before the foundation of the workl. Therefore. because God Iytd purposed the redemption and restitt- ‘tion of bumanity by an awakeninx from death, Ie always speaks of death asa sleep, when communicating with those who believe. The Awakening of the Soul. Proceeding to his test, the Pastor Alsenssed his theme in three divisions: the awakening of some of the world in the present time, the awakenIng of the Christian, and the future awakening of the world during the Mexstanic Reign. To all who come to the Lori. he declared, there came a time when they begin to think of subjects un: thought of before—the higher things, those pertaining to God amd the world to come. Up to that time some had Deen steeped in sin and degradation: others bad Ired merely for the pres ent aml-seemel never to think about ansthing exeypt the trivial affairs of evermiay life. But somehow they be gan to realize that ther were sinners and that there was a sentence against them. Perhaps they got the right view, that this sentence was ne of death: but more likely they got the ‘Wrong view. that it was a sentence of eternal torment. ‘Then the Paster showed that the ma- Jority of children reach thls important crisis between the ages of twelre and fifteen years. At that period there fs 8 great change in human nature; and * therefore it fs a most advantageous time for the forces of spiritual growth to spring up In those who have reach ed the age of responsibility. The spoaker here dwelt upon the duties o} parents and teachers who have contro _ of the young at this important stage o: development. White he fully believe: 4n the Importance of training a chili in the nurture and admonition of th Lord from the very beginning of it “existence, yet he holds that both par ents and teachers should be especial; alert with children at this most favor _ able time for opening thelr mental eye to see things in a new light, for thel learning to look berond the trivialltie of the present life to the higher thing pertaining to the life to come. “Arise From the Dead.” The Pastor next pointed out the falls eg of the Hellef that the “youbg mms sew their wild onts.” and expressed re ret that even Christian parents seen to be Imbued with this false ides «Those who sow wild oats, he matt tained, will reap wild oats: for “wha soever a man soweth, that shall he als + reap,” according to the Scriptures. I thought Is that from the beginning ¢ its existence the child mind should b Kept near the Divine standard. Tl parents should be able to express t from any one in whom it has conf- dence. One great difficulty, the Pastor de- clared, seems to be that children lose confidence fn those whom they find to be deceitful. Even if the person has never deceived the cbild, it soon finds out whther he decelres other people or practises falschood in any way; and as a result of that knowledge the child mind is perverted, It loses falth In others, and imbibes that same dis- honesty of purpose and thought. The speaker also-deplored the fact that some parents seem to think {t wise and proper to teach children to take advan- tage of somebody else, and even to fib a Ittle, ta order to further present in- terests. This, he declared, 1s a serious mistake. Those who awaken to a sense of re- sponsibility to thelr Creator should arise from the dead condition as far 28 possible, the Pastor holds. He re- mioded his hearers that when one first awakens In the morning, there is a mental freshness which 1s invariably lost If one turns over and falls asleep. ‘So the moment of the soul's awaken- Ang fs a favorable moment of-which to take advantage. But if the soul bas no encouragement at that critical moment it may drop off to sleep again. All who are awake should do all in their power to encourage those who have just awakened, that these may rise from the dead world and be separate from conditions around them. ¢ “Christ Shall Give Thee Light.” | ‘The speaker declared that merely to awake to a realization of one's conill- ton, merely to arise from the dead condition of the human race as respe ts higher things, is not to be a Christian | While Christ gave the light which cn- ‘abled us to see, first of all, that the wages of sin Is death, but the gift of | God {8 eternal life through the Ite deemer, yet the newly awakened must - accept Christ as thelr Ransom sacrifice. must lay hold upon Him, before thes may be considered Christians. Pastor Russell went on to show the steps to be taken in order to have one's eyes of understanding opened. The first step 4s to recognize that we are all sinners and to accept Christ as our Ite Gcemer from the curse of sin and death. ‘Those who take this step are shown ‘the second step—that of consecration. Unless that step is taken, the light wil not shine much more clearly for that individual. Those who take each ste a8 soon as it fs clearly seen will go vi trom grace to grace, from knowledge te knowledge; for “the path of the Just fs a8 the shining light which shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” S then, In order to progress one mus take the step of full consecration t the Lord. . The Awakening of the Christian. Next the Pastor pointed out the mis take which many of us have made fn the past. We did not-really know what it is to be a Christian. We dc not become Christians, members of the Body of Christ, when first we awake or when first we arise from the dead Then we were merely logking towani Christianity, merely getting the son awake to see the possibility of har mony with God and escape from the condemnation upou the world. As St Paul dechtres, there is condemuatior upon all except those who are In Chris Jesus. But from the moment we ,xu! into Christ we' lose the condemnatior of death that came upon the race be cause of Adam's disobedience. Thet We are individually on trial for Ife. ‘The fitst trial for fe everlasting wa given to Father Adam, the Pastor snid Adam failed to pass the test, and tin Drought condemnation upon all his pos terity—the world of mankiid. It ts : point in law that a inan under con demnation for a capital offense canny be condemned again unless first frees from the previous condemnation. a race, mankind were sentenced death by God's Law, “Dying, thot Shalt dle." Since all humanity is un der this condemnation no one can hav an Individual trial through Christ ux | til first he has gotten free from tha condemnation which is the penalty o |} Adam's sin. So the mere awakenin; to a realization of our condition doc not give any one at second trial for lif '| Arising from the condition of sin ani | degradation and trying to live an hou Jest, decent life would not mean tha one had passed Into trial again, Church Only on Trial Now. _ Then the Pastor demonstrated frot | Beripture that only the Church elas |] are now on trial for life, and that th | world is not‘on trial at all, butis “de ‘| tn trespasses and sins.” ‘The worl Se ee have come Into Christ as New Crea-| tures, have become overebarged with| worldly cares, and thus may fgura-| tively be sald to have fallen asleep again.

At | the beginning of the New Day of | Christ the world will be asleep—some ‘4m death, others in fmnorance and su- perstition. But the tumult of the Time of Trouble, with which the Scriptures everywhere declare the change of ,dls- ; Pensation will be accompanied, ‘will certainly awaken the majority of those | who are not in thelr graves, Some are + awakening now; later, the whole world ; Will awake, and Christ will give them | ght.

When awake both classes | Will bexin to rise out of sin and death conditions, trying to get a little bigher and more awake, In order that they | may recelve some of the blessings of | that glorious time. | ‘The Scriptures declare that at that | time the Sun of Itighteousness—Christ | and the glorified Chureb—will arise {With healing in its beams, Then the || Poor world, that have been In sorrow, | Pala, crying and dying, afliicted of the - Devil for six thousaud years, will be- | gin to look up to the great Redeemer for deliverance from the power of Sa- tan.

J.—When the 6,700 employees of the Edison plants here entered the shops the other morning they were confronted on every side with printed signs bearing tlils warn- ing: “Cigarettes Not Tolerated.

While ‘he found the tobacco contained in them was of all qualities. he found poisonous matter in all the papers in ‘which they were rolled. Sald Mr. Edl- son: “That potson attacks the brain and works havoc with man’s mental ac- tivity. Hs mind becomes clouded. Evaristo Madero, brother of the late president of Mexico, told here a few days ago that men, women and chil- ‘dren are inveterate smokers of elgar- ettes in the southern republic.

Boy Disappointed When Told War Had Not Been Declared. Jackson, Miss.—Coming afoot all the way from Tate county, 190 miles, George Starks, a young farmer, went to the office of the adjutant general of the state and astonished everybody there by saying that be wanted to en- Ust as a private for the war in Mexico. ‘The attaches of the office looked at the man fn wonder, This certalnly was upusual, Everybody else that had sald anything about enlisting in the state militia wanted to be a captain, a colo- nel or a major. : ‘The simon pure patriot was told to keep up with the dally newspapers and return to the adjutant general's office when war should be declared and Mis- sissippi would be called on for militia.

New Discovery May ture Hog Cholera and Save $1,000,000. ‘Washington.—The high cost of meats has received a body blow in a re port recelved from Mhnesota by the United States agricultwral department here. : 5 One of the greatest contributing causes to the high cost o! all meats is admitted to be the great ravages of hog cholera. which has swept the coun- try during the past few years until last season over $100,000.00 in pork was lost. of which $33,000.00 was in Towa alone. With such a great scare city of pork there was no balance wheel to depress values Of beef, and hence the mounting prices of steaks. Hog cholera has come to be so dreaded that farmers are besinnlng to refuse fo raise any hogs, and even those who stick to the came raise only a few, not caring to take the long ebances. It is admitted that with beg cholera eliminated from the farmers’ calculation millions more would be raised, as they are casy to handle and the returns are quick. But, strange ta say, sclence bas never found a cure fer this dreaded disease. ‘The report just received by the de partment of agriculture contains a chart showing the treatment of up- ward of 2 thousand hogs sick with chronle cholers with a special yeter- teary treatment. Cures were effected In 79.13 per cent.-of the cases. The tests have been going on in the etd in vat. ous parts of Minnesota since last Sep. tember. State veterinarians sent out by the Minnesota live stock and sank tary board to administer serum treat: ment were instructed to have the'new medicine administered. EDISON IS CHALLENGED.

Hill, preshtent of a big tobacco compans, In an open letter to jhe Inventor, expresses the belief that Investigation and reconsid- eration would cause him to admit his error. ‘Mr. Hill recalls the time when {t was quite the fashion for cigarettes to be attacked by “well intentioned Jg- norant people. by notorlety seekers and by thrifty legistors.” The result was that medical men and other selen- tists undertook thorough examinations of the cigarette. “Every one-of these investizattons.” writes Mr. Hill, “resulted In exactly the same set, of fludings—viz, that the cigarette 1s absolutely pure: tlat It contains less nicotine than any other form of tobacco products: that the combustion of the paper ix harraless fn its effect on the human phystolesys that Its temperate use is in ne way {injurious to normal users.” PEOPLE’S RAILROAD IS A MONEY MAKER Left “In the Gold,” This Town Builds Ils Own System, Tacoma, Wash.—There is one rall- road in the United States thet bes paid from the day it began to taro wheels.

Gunboat Smith, of New York City, the claimant of the white heavyweight championship of the world, defeated Jack Blackburn, light middleweight of this city, in six rounds on Wednesday night at the National Athletic Club, but it was only by his work in the sixth round that Smith was able to claim the victory. Blackburn was thirty pounds lighter than his opponent and his showing was wonderful, and he showed that he has a right to be classed with the best of the middleweights. He possesses all of his old cleverness and generalship, and with some more work probably will develop his punch to the punch of old. He was beaten but not disgraced, and strength was the factor in his defeat.

A new book entitled "The Black Man Was the Father of Civilization." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible and therefore has nothing to fear.

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.

Beverly Carter, who is a student at Temple College, has gone to his home at Beaver Valley, Pa. by Jews and Italians. These two nationalities have a monopoly, so far as business among the colored citizens of the park go. There is one firm that has been in the park for a number of years, and by industry and perseverance this firm has purchased dozens of houses and has established stores upon many corners. If any one has an idea of purchasing a corner building in which to establish a store, this firm will purchase the corner first. Now, who lives in LeDroit Park? They are supposed to be among the Peculiar Eccentricities and Lack of Race Unity—Enterprises That Have Gone Down. There have been established in this city many enterprises and organizations among the colored people that have failed and thousands of dollars of the people's money have been squandered. Just how this money has been stolen from the people is easily accounted for. In the first place the managers of these enterprises are looking for graft. They never go in to make them succeed. It is for self aggrandizement and personal gain. They care nothing for the success of these enterprises or the people's interests. If two or three persons establish similar business enterprises, one will try to outdo the other. They will try to destroy each other. There is too much jealousy and back biting. These are only a few causes why colored people fail in business. They don't try to compete in prices with their white competitors. Many of them only live for a day. In LeDroit Park, which is thickly inhabited with colored citizens there is but one grocery store managed and controlled by a colored citizen, who can barely exist. Upon every corner may be seen grocery stores owned and controlled --- --- by Jews and Italians. These two nationalities have a monopoly, so far as business among the colored citizens of the park go. There is one firm that has been in the park for a number of years, and by industry and perseverance this firm has purchased dozens of houses and has established stores upon many corners. If any one has an idea of purchasing a corner building in which to establish a store, this firm will purchase the corner first! Now, who lives in LeDroit Park? They are supposed to be among the cultured and highly educated colored people. School teachers, clerks, lawyers and doctors. They all pass the store of the colored firm and go to the Dago stores. It must be because they don't want to see one of their own prosper. A walk through LeDroit Park in the vicinity of Elrn and Fourth.streets, T Street and one or two other streets will verify the statement of The Bee. The reason why moving picture theaters are succeeding is because the colored people are not permitted to enter white theaters. Similar conditions exist elsewhere in this city, where the neighborhood is thickly, populated with colored people. Many of the colored public-spirited citizens who crave for publicity refuse to patronize their own newspaper, although many have been told that they don't want their news. If they carry their news matter to papers controlled and edited by white men they are bluntly told, "Why don't you people go to your own papers?" This rebuke doesn't have any effect. They continue to carry their news to these papers and are rebuked. Their matter is cut and in many instances their matter is cut to pieces. Colored ministers insist on carrying their church notices to papers edited by white men. The white people are not interested in their news or their churches.

Many colored insurance companies pay a white paper a fabulous sum for a publication and kick against paying a colored paper half the amount. There are hundreds of colored people in this city who have tried to get away from their own people. Many of them may be seen with white, black, blue and green veils over their faces to enable them to hide their identity. Hundreds of them prefer to deposit their money in a white bank and when they go to these banks in which they have their money and attempt to borrow a little money, they are refused. Is there any reason why colored people fail? Conventions. We have been going to conventions as delegates for a number of years and we certainly must have some training in that direction by now. Let us see how well we can use that training in this matter of securing better accommodations for colored people on trains, in depots, and on street cars. Better Treatment While it will be an honor for any colored person to be asked to speak for the other members of his race to railroad officials on "Railroad Day," it is earnestly hoped that the occasion will not be made one for self-seeking. The matter at stake is too important. Let the churches, secret societies, business leagues, woman's clubs, etc., appoint whom they will; and let the ones so appointed serve to the best of their ability.

CALVIN CHASE, 1109 Eye Street Northwest Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON'S ACHIEVE- MENT. Dr. Booker T. Washington raised $163,000 in sixty days. He raised this amount for Tuskegee, raised it to help educate the Negro young men and women in the Southland. He was compelled to raise it or see some of the cherished plans he had in view for the amelioration of conditions operating against opportunities for Negro education fail. To raise $163,000 in sixty days among It would seem that the so-called colored Democrats would be convinced by now, that the Democratic party has no use for them. The administration is one year and almost three months old, and not a colored Democrat so-called has received as much as a spittoon washer's place. But, on the contrary, they are told in unmistakable English that they are not wanted, and so far as the Democratic party is concerned, it doesn't care for the support of colored Democrats. Not only have colored Democrats been repudiated, but measures have been introduced in the National Congress and laws have been enacted that are inimical to the colored race. There is but one thing for colored men to do, who have supported the Democratic party, for revenue only, and that is to get down to business and let politics alone. The New York Democracy has informed the Murphy Democrats, from a report, in our esteemed contemporary, the New York Age, that there is no use for them to apply for office. Mr. Murphy is by no means dead, politically. The colored Democratic politicians love him, and no matter how much Mr. Murphy is abused or opposed by the Administration Democrats, New York colored Democrats will not desert him. The Bee commends Chief Wood for the stand he has taken, because if there ever was a crime any more diabolical it is ingratitude. Everything that the New York colored men ever received it was given by Mr. Murphy. As to the leadership of Mr. Robert N. Wood, it has been selfish and personal, and if the New York colored Democracy has had a set back it was on account of the selfish and bad leadership of Mr. Wood. He has struck down men who have been loyal to Mr. Murphy and forced to ally themselves with an anti-Murphy organization. Mayor Mitchell may be loyal to the colored politicians of New York, but he has a poor way of showing it. Mr. Wood's most fatal blunder was the stab he gave Mr. Ralph Langston, a colored Democratic leader of colored Democracy. Mr. Langston has a large following which will never again support Mr. Wood and his colored Democratic organization. It must also be admitted that the Tammany Democrats under the leadership of Mr. Murphy have done more for the colored people of the State of New York than many states in which the Republican party has controlled. The colored voter must think for himself and act accordingly. The colored voter has followed too blindly false leadership. A MUCH-NEEDED PROPAGANDISM. Now that the "heated term" is upon us, it is expected that many people, who are fortunate to afford the means, will betake themselves to various parts of this country, and Europe, for recreation and improvement, intellectual as well as physical. For those who are free from the badge of invidious race discrimination, it is enough to follow the advice of Lord Bacon, who says "The things to be seen and observed are the courts of princess, especially when they give audience to ambassadors, the courts of justice, while they sit and hear causes, and so of consistories, ecclesiastic; the churches and monasteries, with the monuments which are therein extant; walls and fortifications of cities and towns; and so, the havens and harbors, antiquities and ruins, libraries, colleges, disputations and lectures where any there are; shipping and navies: houses and gardens of state and pleasure near great cities: armories, arsenals, magazines, exchanges, bourses, warehouses." &c. And to be able to follow this advice were a consummation to be wished, as, by so doing, the traveller would gain much useful knowledge and be enabled, by judicious comparative analysis, to suggest modifications in social intercourse, set in motion civic reforms, or become a useful factor in assisting society at large to escape the nonsensicalities of a partially effete governmental or social fabric. And, without doubt, it were wise to follow the prescription of Bacon in so far as is consistent with the time and money at the disposal of the average colored tourist. But under no circumstances should all of his time be taken up in that way. There are some facts so stubborn, so important, so all-pervading, that concerning which, even when abroad, the colored person ought not be unmindful. Indeed, these facts follow the anxiously inquiring would-be-free student and tourist wherever he may go. Among the facts which contribute so powerfully to the humiliation of the colored people is that of race discrimination, as exemplified by the uniform jim Crowism now in vogue and growing in popularity. It is with reference to this fact in particular, that the colored tourist to Europe should adjust his observation and his conduct. It has been the custom of white Southerners and continues to be, when traveling abroad, to make it a part of their sacred duty to spread prejudice against the colored people of America, to disseminate false notions concerning the moral, intellectual and material status, potentialities and potencies of the colored race and to propagate a sentiment inimical to their acceptability to an English, French, or German public. And this propaganda has been augmented on the part of many white tourists from the North. To such an extent have they progressed in their ungenerous, not to say defarious, efforts, that in England, the colored American citizen is looked at askance and in many cases treated as in Alabama. Something must be done to offset this growing tide of prejudice abroad. How can this be brought about? In three ways. First, let those who are able, go to Europe and while there, make it a business to endeavor to offset unfavorable impressions by displaying consistent economy, a taste for cultured society and a marked appreciation for customs and institutions which constitute the pride and honor of European civilization. To attempt to "show off," by foolish extravagance in expenditure, is only to emphasize what the prejudiced American declares of the race namely, that we are improvident, care only for the present and act under the inspiration of that much misinterpreted dictum, "eat, drink and be merry, tomorrow we die." For the sake of offsetting a bad impression, the colored tourist should "assume a virtue," if it is not ingrained, although it can be truly said practically all who go to Europe are of the genuinely virtuous type. Secondly, owing to the brevity of the visits of the average tourist, permanent favorable impressions are difficult of accomplishment, unless there were a constant stream of tourists, inspired by the same general impulse, going abroad the year round. Unfortunately, most of our people spend a few summer months abroad, while thousands of our traducers remain there to ply their diabolical work toward discrediting us. It should, therefore, be the aim and strenuous effort on the part of our people, to send our children abroad, under proper protective conditions, there to remain one, two, three years, or more, imbued with the ambition and determination to not only neutralize the unfavorable sentiment now making against us, but to affect popular opinion in a way to turn the tide of popular favor irrevocably in our direction. To be sure, only those who are able to properly sustain their children in the most approved manner should undertake the duty; and there are thousands in this country who can meet every requirement. Lastly, the urgency of the times demands that large numbers go abroad for propaganda work; and if conditions cannot be met by individuals, they should be provided for by co-operative effort. Mark the policy of Japan, of India, of China. Individuals from those countries send their sons and daughters West, not for pleasure alone, but mainly, to broaden the horizon, to neutralize an unfavorable sentiment, or to replace it by cultivating a progressively favorable one. So, also, these countries, or societies among them, send hundreds of their more progressive men and women to the Occidental-schools and universities, in order to swell the number of propagandists to make a deeper, a more sustained favorable impression. Such should be the policy of the colored people of this country. To those who can be sent abroad at individual expense should be added at least a score from each state in the Union, whose expenses should be paid for a term of years, and under instructions tending to bring about a change of attitude abroad concerning colored Americans. Thus would much be done to expose to public view and public contempt, the manifest prejudice and injustice of American color-phobists, and bring to favorable view the real merits of the colored people who, in point of moral, intellectual and material advancement are far ahead of hundreds of thousands of white whose opportunities have been unlimited, yet whose substantial progress has been shamefully slow. whites for the education of whites what a stupendous undertaking is no easy job, but to raise it among And what other Negro could have whites for the education of blacks. done it? To raise this money ne- cessitated hard work, the sacrifice of rest; the irksome inconveniences of traveling, the submerging of self interest into race interests, and it required that purely, absolutely unselfish devition to race so dominant in Dr. Washington, and so constantly exemplified by him. One hundred and sixty thousand dollars in sixty days for Negro education! Stop and dwell upon that achievement, and in it find the answer to the question: Why is Booker Washington a leader; why is he the idol of his race, and why has the white man confidence in his statesmanship? There is another point, to this raising $163,000 in sixty days for Negro education, we should not overlook. It is the fact that this vast sum was contributed by white men and women; that the fact that white men and women contributed this vast sum constitutes fresh evidence that the race still has strong, helpful friends. HARRY C. SMITH. By the Cleveland Gazette we notice that its editor, Harry C. Smith, is a candidate for the nomination as member of the legislature from Cuyahoga County. Mr. Smith served two terms as member of the Ohio Legislature and left his imprint on the statue books of Ohio in the shape of a Civil Rights Bill. He is the only Negro of the Ohio Legislature ever to have framed and championed and secure the passage of such remedial legislation. The Negro voters of Cuyahoga owe it to themselves to support Mr. Smith stanchly. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (B) the Sage of the Potomac. "Comparisons are odious—that what some old mummified satrap casel over to posterity about steen hundred years ago, but don't you know, fellers, its mighty interesting to make comparisons. A bunch of educated-lung expanders, with sort of a walnut stain complexion, got to making comparisons last Tuesday evening at the airdome—the sidewalk in front of McMullen's scraping factory on You street. One of them, a government conscript from the Tarheel State, remarked that there was a strong resemblance between Judge Terrell and old Judge Pontius Pilate, who handed out an awfully crossed decision again the progeny of Mary, some 1900 years ago. I don't recall ever having met old Judge Pontius Pilate, but I have run into one or two of his pictures pointed by a long-haired Russian at the daws the name of Muncasey at the bottom of pictures he paints, and come to think of Judge Terrell's ivory top piece and his spindle legs, and general contour of his physiology, does bear a striking resemblance to the predecessor of Judge Kibball in handing out raw sentences to shady complexion individuals. After putting Judge Terrell in the prize beauty contest with old Judge P. Pilate, some one remarked that Billy Clifford was a dead ringer for John Bunny of movies fame. Everybody agreed. When Billy C. puts on that overcoat with a near-Astrakan collar, his velvet hat, and drops his head about two feet down in his shoulders, he sure does look like John Bunny. The two could easily pass for half brothers by a slave marriage. But Billy is just about one tenth per cent of one per cent handsomer than John Bunny, and that concession don't put Billy in the Kyrl Bellew class by a jug full. Carrying this, thing farther, one of 'em said that Tion Jones looks like Toussaint L'Overture. I never run into old Toussaint up around Nelligan's or Bob Allen's receiver of anthracites' public money, but from my recollection of a reproduction from an old deguerrotype what hangs on Tom's wall in his library de lux. Tom does look like old Toussaint. However, Old Toussaint was a bare cat at sightin' while the only thing Tom will fight for is his fees. When it comes to sightin' for his fees Tom makes that little brush Toussaint had with Napoleon's men resemble a match tennis game between Wilkinson and picture frame Carter. But Old Toussaint was a cuff artist just like Tom, only he wore ruffle cuffs and held on to them while Tom throws his away every time he gets to puncture the rubber tire of eloquence. Some one suggested that John Dancy could pass for Lord Byron. I hesitate to assimilate this comparison. His Lordship, you know, had a penchant for pretty women—Dancy ain't. His Lordship made googoo eyes at the daughters of Judge Lynch and Baron Hemp, but Dancy, ever since that little disagreement down at Wilmington, won't even cast a backward glance at any of them lily-white in tight skirts and ruffles. I never met Lord Byron, but judgin' from his. Don Juan he was some lover of women Dancy won't hesitate to take a free introduction to Messrs. Schlitz, Trimble, Overholt, or any of their relatives, but he wont speak to none of them Lynch or Hemp girls on the street. Byron had a sickly, pale complexion, accordin' to Jim Cobb's description, but Dancy's is a sort of fruit cake complexion. Accordin' to my notion there ain't no one who looks like John Dancy but himself and some times when he forgets to groom himself, which is most every day; he himself don't look like himself. But he's a good old scout at that, and one hundred per cent better than his Lordship. As the conversation continued. William Calvin Editor Chase was included, and some one suggested he could pass for old Othello. Well old Othello was a corkin' good old scout, and a cracked dandy rue, and he had a pair of underpins just like William Calvin, and MANUFACTURERS OF WIGS, BRAIDS, BANGS, STEMLESS BRAIDS, WAVY FRONT PIECES, CRIMPY AND WAVY HAIR COMBINGS MADE UP.

But Chase ain't no roue—he don't care no more for a bunch of calico than Arthur Gray cares for a mint julip. Chase can act the part of Othello, looks like him, and, when he wants to, can hand any Desdamonio a bunch of con talk what will make her think he's the real cheese around a Board of Education meetin'. Does R. Wordy look like Falstaff? Some of them said he did, and, come to condense the matter, R. Wordy, around the breadbasket, does look like old windy Falstaff. You know old Falstaff was just a bunch of wind, who puffed and blowed but got nowhere with his bellows attachment, so I guess they were right in sayin' he resembled old Falstaff. I recall old Falstaff when handin' Eddie Oratis a bunch of hot air said: "In yonder age to come my counterpart will rise to bear the girt, the actions and the brain of Falstaff." Now who knows but what he was predictin' the coming of R. Wordy. Well, sir, the bunch stood out there in the You Street airdome—the space in front of McMullin's scrapin' factory, for more than an hour makin' comparisons. They said that Bob Pelham recalled the lean old Cassius; that Doc, Williston, about the top piece, looked like Napoleon; that Will Davis was a double for old Hide-and-go-seek Chalmers what kept an alkemy shop in Piccadilly Lane about the beginning of 1622; that Charley Hall looked like Richard Harding Davis right after the Mexican greeks got his goat, and that President Lewis of the Eleventh St. near-national bank was a dead ringer for the guide down at the Mamouth Cave, and that McMullin was a bellringer for Dan Webster before Dan hit the trail of senatorial fame. When a bunch of anthracite missits gets to talkin' they just hand out a line of junk what runs all the way from insipient insanity to a Washington Asylum regular talk. Some times I think, from the small talk they hand out, it would be a mighty good think if a whole lot of the Last Days of Pompeii derelicts, what infest this nerg would take Booker's advice and just "plant your feet in the soil." I just give you the above to show what comes out of the solid ivory top piece of some of these promenaders of You Street on their way to and from Nelligans. I heard a near rumor Monday to the effect that Link Johnson had decided to fire the woman what said he hadn't put in but 36 hours of work in three years, and what had slandered the colored women in his office. I dropped into the offices of Dunn and Bradstreet just to find how they rated the rumor and they told me that any rumor that Link had nerve enough to fire that pale face clerk what made a lot of am-i-livs to Congress had no ratin', couldn't get no ratin' and wasn't worth considerin' for the tenth part of a half a second. Another rumor what hit the segregation dead line was that Jim Cobb was goin' to tie up to a bunch of ruffles and lingerie this summer. I questioned both Dun and Bradstreet on this, and they told me that any matrimonial rumors what included the Louisiana Candy kid who hibernated around Shreeveport right after Ben Butler fenced in New Orleans had noatin'. They said Cobb ain't goin' to take no chances with a marriage license when his tenure of office can't be calculated down to days and hours. Several attempts have been made to chase Jeems into the matrimonial sea, but every time he hangs about four life preservers around him, anchors himself to a pile and refuses to pay the price of one of them there certificates what gives a fellow the right to disagree with his soul mate in order to placate his affinity. Accordin' to the latest rebus, Jim Cobb will emulate Judge Moody, and finish the game at the bachelor's base, hittin' around 300 in the Single League. Gen. A. S. Burt to Lecture. Gen. A. S.

MISS FLORENCE WILLIAMS A Well Known and Popular Teacher, Is Dead Miss Florence Williams, principal of the Patterson Kindergarten School, died Thursday, May 21, after a short illness of two weeks, and was buried on Monday, May 25, from St. Augustine's Church at 11 a.m., with High Requiem Mass. The church was well filled with her most intimate friends and fellow teachers. Her flowers were numerous and beautiful. No teacher in the public schools was more respected, had a wider circle of friends or performed her duties more faithfully and conscientiously than Miss Williams. Coming to this city about thirty years ago from Napolis, she attended school until appointed to a position in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, where she served several years before taking up school work. Loved by her little charges as well as her associates, she entered into her work with all the earnestness and tender solicitude her position demanded and when the time came for her to pass from her sphere of usefulness no one was more worthy the divine promise, "Well done, good and faithful servant; come up higher." Besides a host of friends, she leaves behind to mourn her loss three sisters, Mrs. Nesbitt, Mrs. Barber and Miss Alice Williams and a brother, Dr. Daniel Williams, the eminent surgeon of Chicago, who at one time was surgeon-in-chief of the Freedmen's Hospital in this city. It may be well said of Miss Williams. "None knew her but to love her, none spoke of her but in praise." Among the teachers present were: Prof. R. C. Bruce; Dr. L. E. Moten, of Normal School No. 2; E.

CROZIER BOSS OF ARMY'S GUNS As Chief of Ordnance Bureau He Supplies the Weapons. NO BOMBS IN AEROPLANES. Characteristics of the Man on Whose Shoulders Rests the Responsibility of Having Ammunition Ready For Any Emergency—Proud of Soldiers and Their Appearance In Public. Washington. By and by some inspired war correspondent will sneak a letter through the censor's lines down in Mexico. He will tell of a uniformed aviator's performance on a hydroplane. "Laden, with bombs," the correspondent will say. But there's no need of going any further, because the hydroplane will not be laden with bombs—at least not with bombs that are spelled with two b's; because that sort of thing is against the conventions of The Hague—and because that particular prohibition was put in those conventions at the suggestion of General William Crozier, chief of the bureau of ordinance—and because General Crozier is just the sort of soldier who would have an aviator crucified for disobeying an order of that kind. Aeroplanes may sail through the blue empyrean until the air men get dizzy, observing the movements of the enemy. But that is all. Stories in which aviation and bombs get all tangled up are hereby officially discounted. Crozier isn't particularly well known to the country, but he is one of the [Name] strongest men in the United States army. As chief of the bureau of ordnance his duty will be to see to it that the army has all the guns it needs when it needs them, and all the ammunition, and that the ammunition fits the' guns, a detail that has been overlooked in some previous affairs. And he likely will see to it. He has served well in the field—somewhat hampered because things had been forgotten—and after he got back home he has raked the coals to a nice, glowing center and placed a few superior officers on them and then watched their intellects during the process of reduction to bone ash. Crozier is frank—frank to a fare-you-well. And fearless. He has said things that he positively knew were going to hurt some of the very highest and most influential feelings we have. But he has never yet had to take anything back. He was a captain, for example, in that march to Peking during the Chinese trouble. He saw Japanese soldiers bayonet helpless Chinamen and Russian soldiers kick little Chinese children in the face and British soldiers loot cities with the advice, approval and assistance of their officers. Crozier told about it. Whereupon those told on started to say it wasn't true in clarion tones that gave every evidence of getting more clarion as the day brightened. But after thinking it over—and thinking Crozier over—all the clarion came out of those indignant yelps. Their owners knew he had the goods. When, just to make every one happy, Crozier allowed that the American soldiers on that march were good soldiers—fine, honest, hard fighting men—but sloppy. "It was the fault of the American officers," said Crozler. "They permitted their men to go about slouchy in dress and carriage. There was no excuse for it, for there are enough officers graduated from West Point every year to teach the service better manners." Mind you, he is enthusiastic about the quality of the American soldier—but he isn't enthusiastic about dirty dollars and open blouses and greasy bridle bits. Our arms were better than those of any nation in that Peking parade, he said, and our clothes were the equal of the best. In spite of the raptures that some crilites went into every time they saw a Japanese cart, hauled by a pony and led by a soole, Crozier demonstrated that the good old four mule army wagon of our haddies is the best means of transportation invented. FIND NEW INDIAN TRIBES. Party Discover Ten In British Guiana, Dr. Farabee Writes. Philadelphia - Colonel Roosevelt as the reported discoverer of a new river in Brazil will have to share the laurels in that field of exploration with the University of Pennsylvania Amazon expedition, whose leader, Dr. William G. Farabee, announces, in a letter received here, the discovery of ten hitherto unknown Indian tribes. Dr. Farabee writes that the party reached Georgetown, British Gulana, on April 19 after a year spent in the Amazon basin and the highlands which divide Brazil and the Gulanas. The party, the letter proceeds, experienced terrible hardships while traversing the jungle and were compelled to live on monkey and alligator flesh when their regular food supply was exhausted. The expedition emerged from the jungle bareheaded, barefooted, hungry and fever racked. "From Dec. 16 to April 1 we were among tribes that had never seen white men before." Dr. Farabee continues. "None of them had ever seen guns or salt or clothing or matches. They had beads and knives. All wanted fishhooks. I made measurements of men and women, took photographs and recorded languages. "We visited the following tribes in southern British Guiana: Walwal, Parikutu, Walme, Chikenna, Kataawan, Toneyan, Dlow, Kumayonas and Urukwanas. None of these tribes is mentioned in Brinton's list of American races. "Several new tribes were found on the Brazil side of the divide." WALKS 17 MILES TO PREACH. Missing Train For First Time In Years, Sets Out on Foot. Quiltman, Ga.—Proving that the notable exploits of the old time circuit rider are not beyond the clergy of today, Rev. A. M. Rich walked seventeen miles to keep his engagement with his Quiltman congregation at St. James' Episcopal church. Mr. Rich intended catching the afternoon train at Quiltman from Valdosta, where he has his residence and is pastor of Grace church. He missed the train, however, for the first time in nine years, he insisted. He determined to keep the appointment here and started out to walk the distance. It is seventeen miles by railroad and longer by the highway. Mr. Rich arrived ten minutes late, and none of his congregation was aware until afterward that he had walked. 12,000 DAILY PLAN SUICIDE IN CHICAGO Psychologist Shows How Populace Looks on Life. Chicago.—Twelve thousand persons are daily contemplating suicide in Chicago, according to the deductions made from Coroner Hoffman's figures by Psychologist Parker H. Sarcomb. Of this number about 600 annually kill themselves. "One thousand attempt self murder," says the coroner, "but 400 recover." Spencer's law of momentum is quoted by the psychologist to support his analysis of the coroner's figures. He says: "So uniform is the operation of the natural law which controls the fate of mankind that we know under the present conditions that in 1914 and until new educational systems have had a chance to take effect about 150 will commit suicide by poison, of whom 90 will use carbolic acid, 15 corrosive sublimate, 7 cyanide of potassium, 6 arsenic, etc. "While it is impossible to name the unfortunates, we know, too, that, with the present population and until our social, economic and educational systems undergo fundamental change, each year approximately 140 will commit suicide by shooting, 120 by asphyxiation, 60 by hanging, 24 by stabbing, 20 by drowning and 14 by jumping out of windows."

Athlete, soldier, pedagogue, is he. One of the most popular and best liked men in Washington, "General Jim" as his friends knew him, is able practical, and tactful, and extends himself into many lines of useful, helpful endeavor. He is a good mixer. In the scope of athletic concern, Major has won many top honors in tennis; he has played baseball with the best, swims, and is no bad sprinter. In his younger days, as a bicyclist he was among the local champions. Major Walker has been president of the Public Schools Athletic League of this city since its conception, and to his fair, yet firm administration is largely due the success that has fallen to its lot. He is one of the most popular of the supervising principals. Just through this period the Major looms large in the calcium lights cast by the Mexican situation, for in the event of the mobilization of the militia of the country, he would lead one of the best prepared organizations of colored soldiery and militia to the scene of hostility. Major Walker succeeded Lieutenant Colonel Brooks to the ranking position of this efficient battalion. Unlike some culture1 gentlemen of the educational field, he has none of the car-marks of a "High-Brow" and is as much respected and honored by men of the "lower strata" as by his companions of the "upper crust." Armstrong Manual Training School track team won the ninth annual and field games of the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association and the Public Schools Athletic League at the Howard Playground Thursday afternoon of last week by an overwhelming score. The points were made in both contests by the same athletes under different rules for qualification. Points made by boys who were eligible according to rules of the L. S. A. were registered towards that victory while boys eligible according to the rules of the P. S. A. L. were counted in that competition. The points were as follows: I. S. A. A., Armstrong 88; M Street 61, Commercial 26; P. S. A. L., Armstrong 84, M Street 46, Commercial 29. The star performers of the meet were Augustine Parker, who won the high jump, 410 yard run and second place in the 100 yard dash; Charles Duckett, captain of Armstrong's track team, who won the 100 yard dash, and the low hurdle race; and Roscoe Taylor, who came first in the mile and half mile runs, all of Armstrong. The meet was held for the first time on a public playground and was attended by one of the largest crowds in the history of the games. This victory for Armstrong gives the school two points out of five chances towards the Captain Walter Howard Loving Cup, which goes to the high school winning a majority of the major athletic events of the year including the drill.

MILITIA HE REFORMED WEST POINT Bravery Exhibited In Spanish-American War Rewarded by President McKinley—On Arrival at Army Training School He Made Changes Which Greatly Pleased the Cadets. Washington.—"The national guard," said General Alfred Leopold Mills, "has never been better equipped or better trained or better officered for service than it is today." Which may be an important factor in the present situation if the states' militia should be called on for action. General Mills' statement may be taken as fairly representing the situation. In the first place, General Mills knows. He is the head of the division of militia affairs at the war department and as such would have charge of the transfer of the militia to the service of the national government. In the second place, Mills wouldn't say it if it were not true. "General Mills," said one of his near associates, "is not one of the most brilliant men in the army. He is not remarkable for scholarly attainments. But he owns a most impressive brand of common sense combined with every soldierly quality." Mills is the man who reformed West Point. Before his day there as superin- [Image of a man in a military uniform with a hat.] Photo by American Press Association. GENERAL ALFRED L. MILLS. tendent the cadets were treated like prisoners, fed upon theory and clothed in uniforms that fitted like the skin of a mushroom. If a regiment of West Point cadets had ever charged an enemy the sound of popping seams would have been heard above the rattle of musketry. Mills came to the academy as super-intendent while he was a first lieutenant and therefore still young. That fact did not please any one at all. The elder officers thought it absurd that a "young whiffler"—these cruel words are quoted with exactness—should be given a place that had always been likened in honor to the command of a division. The younger officers were jealous and said that his appointment was due to favoritism. As a matter of fact it was due mostly to A. L. Mills, somewhat to Theodore Roosevelt, and partially to President McKinley. Mills was at the battle of San Juan Hill in command of a company of regulars. Roosevelt's rough riders were being maltreated on the slope. "I he took command of my three rearmost companies," said Roosevelt afterward, "moved them over to the right of the line, gathered up some troopers of the Ninth cavalry and headed his detachment in the rush up the hill." In that rush Mills was struck by a Mauer bullet which destroyed his left eye and passed completely through his head, but it did not interfere with that rush up the hill. It wasn't until San Juan hill had been captured that he gave his wound a thought. All the surgeons said that he would die at once—he was the first wounded officer to be returned to the United States—merely in compliment to his bravery. Privately the surgeons thought it would be more economical to let him die in Cuba. But he completely regained his health. President McKinley met him, determined that the youngster had the punch and pep the president thought was needed in the reconstruction of West Point and made him superintendent. Mills found the academy being operated somewhat as a reform school and somewhat along the educational lines that prevailed prior to the first war with Mexico. Cadets were forbidden to smoke; therefore they smoked by stealth. He let them smoke pipes on the campus. He found hazing flourishing at West Point, successive generations of repressive measures having failed to stamp it out. He aroused a sentiment against it and for the time, at least, it died out. He did away with everything that savored of the automatic in the system of education and taught his men to think. WHERE WERE THE NINE? Luke 17:11-19—May 31. "Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this alien!"—Verse 18. THE essence of today's lesson is gratitude. It is impossible to imagine a perfect being as acceptable to God without this quality. We might almost say that the degree of our acceptance with God is measured by our gratitude. It leads to obedience to Divine laws and regulations, whether understood or not. It leads to self-sacrificing labors in the service of God, and according to a Divine automatic arrangement has its blessings.—Romans 8:28. Jesus was approaching Jerusalem by way of Samaria. It is surmised that this was His last journey to Jerusalem, which eventuated in His death. Ten lepers sitting by the roadside heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, and immediately called to Him, "Master, have mercy upon us!" He replied, "Go show yourselves to the priests." According to God's arrangement with the Jews under the Law Covenant, they were to have no sickness except as these would represent sins; and the priests were to pass judgment upon cases of leprosy. Our Lord's direction that the lepers show themselves to the priests implies that by the time they would reach their destination they would be healed. The lepers must have exercised great faith; for instead of crying out for instantaneous healing, they started for the priest. They had gone but a short distance when they found themselves cured. They had gone when they found We can imagine with what joy they hastened for the priest's approval, in order to return to their families. But one of them returned and fell at Jesus' feet, giving Him thanks. We cannot doubt that he would receive a great blessing eventually, though not then; for he was a Samaritan, commonwealth of A Another Crumb of Favor. In his case the healing was a crumb from the children's table; for the rich man had not died—God's favor had not yet departed from Israel. Jesus had not yet uttered the fateful words, "Your House is left unto you desolate." Nay. It was three and a half years after Jesus' death before the individual favor to the Jews terminated to such an extent that the Gospel could go to the Gentiles. Acts 10. Had the returning leper been a Jew, no doubt he would have been invited to become a follower of Jesus. But because he was a Samaritan, Jesus merely said, "Arise and go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole." Doubtless, when the time came for opening the door to the Gentiles, this grateful Samaritan was amongst those who gladly made consecration to God. Jesus called public attention to the fact that only one of the ten healed had returned to give glory to God. True, He had not asked them to acknowledge the Divine Power that wrought through Him. True, they had done exactly what He had told them to do. But why did He not bargain with them, saying, If I heal you, will you become My disciples? Why did not He take this method of adding to the number of His disciples? The preaching of Jesus and the Apostles is in strong contrast with much of the preaching of evangelists, revivalists, etc. Never did Jesus or the Apostles urge worldly people to become disciples of Christ. They merely declared certain great facts, and accepted those who were thus influenced. They reasoned of sin, of righteousness and of a coming time of decision, or judgment, and left the matter with the individual conscience. They told that those who forsake sin and turn to God may have forgiveness and reconciling. tion through the blood of Christ. They told of a Heavenly Call for all such penitents who would conserve their lives wholly to God and to righteousness. JESUS RECEIVING THE SWORD FROM THE LORD The point we make is that according to the Bible no attempts were ever made were ever made by Jesus and the Apostles to obtain recruits for the Lord's army by a "hiphilb burrah" process. In this we are not criticising others, but merely calling attention to facts, which should guide all who seek to know and to do God's will. The Samaritan of our lesson represents a class of grateful followers of the Lord who seek to give Him glory in their thoughts, words and doings; while the majority of those who similarly have received His favor are disposed to pursue the ambitions and the pleasures of the present life. Neglecting to take the path which the Master rod, they will not reach the glory, honor and immortality which He attained and to which He has called all of His followers. Many Christian people are growing in the opinion that we are living today in a time of crucial trial as respects those who have made a covenant with God. They believe that we are nearing the time when the Church, the Body of Christ, will be received by the Lord in the Resurrection change to be His Bride Bixteen Concerns In One County Neted $4,776,735 in the accounts ted $4,776,775 in the Aggregate. Wallace, Ida,—Net profits reports on sixteen producing mines in Shoshontown county filed with the assessor for as assessment purposes for the present year based on the operations of the year 1913 show a total net profit of mines of $4,177,775 as against net profits of $3,589,501 for the preceding year, or an increase of $1,187,274 in the face of an adverse lead market which, during the year, has gradually fallen approximately $1.40 per hundred pounds. The gross output of the sixteen big producers for 1913 amounted to 2,030,030 tons, an increase of 150,786 tons over the preceding year, while the gross value amounted to $17,670,083, an increase of $2,301,020. The cost of extraction amounted to $6,586,784 as against $5,926,374 for the year 1912; transportation and smelter charges amounted to $5,767,412 as against $5,059,012 for the preceding year, and improvements and betterments decreased from $908,753 to $633,370. The most remarkable showing made by any single producer is that of a mine which this year jumps into first place, ellipsing the Bunker Hill by $144,814 in net profits. Still another remarkable showing is that of a mine which this year displaces the Stewart for third place in the producing list with net profits of $338,140; the Stewart ranks fourth with $561,432 as against $395,344 last year. The Morning Mine at Mullan holds its position at fifth place, with a decrease of $19,632 in its net profits, while the Hecha drops from fourth last year to sixth this year. GOOD TO JACK'S GIRL Daniels Allows Sailors on Shore Leave to Stay Away Later. Washington.—Secretary Daniels demonstrated again his friendship for Cupid by letting it be known that he purposes to extend the shore leave of sailors when their ships are in port. Incidentally Secretary Daniels expects thereby to decrease the number of technical desertions. Under present regulations, when a sailor gets shore leave, he must return to his ship by 11 o'clock, when the last boat to the ship leaves shore. There have been many desertions because of failures to catch the last boat, and Secretary Daniels has issued an order providing that there shall be a 12 o'clock and a 1 o'clock boat between shore and ship. "It is quite unfair," said Secretary Daniels, "to expect that a sailor can take his girl to a theater, have a little supper afterward and get back in time for the last boat at 11 o'clock. I have ordered that the last boat between shore and ship leave at 1 o'clock. I understand that navy desertions have been due to sailors missing the 11 o'clock boat, because they have feared the results." MONUMENTS MARK U. S. BOUNDARY Surveyors Fix Line Between Alaska and Canada. Sitka, Alaska.-Scarring a broad line across 600 miles of wilderness in the far north in order that the possessions of the United States and Canada may have a distinct separation at every point will be completed during the coming open season. The work has been in progress since 1007 under the direction of Thomas Riggs, Jr., civil engineer, representing the United States Alaskan boundary commission, and T. D. Craig, representing a similar commission of Canada. Although the United States and Canada have been neighbors, in the far north for almost half a century, the exact dividing line between their possessions, especially as to the northern portion, was, previous to this survey, indefinite and conflicting. Many disputes arising, the two governments decided finally, through their commissions, that on absolute survey, clearly established and marked for all time, should be made along the one hundred and forty-first meridian, from the Mount St. Ellas Alps, on the Pacific, to the Arctic ocean, a distance of approximately 600 miles. The United States surveying party consisted of from slxty to eighty men each season since the work was undertaken. Chief Engineer Riggs, himself a young college man, selected his nids from the hardiest classes—cowboys, forest rangers, prospectors, timber cruisers and frontiersmen, with a liberal sprinkling of engineers. New expeditions were organized each spring, although many of the men who started at the beginning have remained in the service up to now. It was the custom, too, to leave a few men in the north each winter to care for equipment and supplies. The actual visible result of the six or seven years of efforts is a twenty foot vista, ent, like a gigantic avenue or lane, through all timber and brush districts, together with monuments set at intervisible points from three to four miles apart.

BUTTERFLY FARM OWNED BY GIRL Makes Good Income by Raising Hundreds of Insects. Catching the Butterflies and Moths Only a Small Part of the Work, as Real Difficulty Is Experienced In Raising Them—Interesting as Well as Profitable Duty. Truckee, Cal.—A California girl with the astonishing name of Ximena McGlashan has the distinction of being the first professional "butterfly farmer" in this country. She began the work by mere chance, but she has made a success of it by dint of hard work and attention to scientific detail. It sounds very pretty to be called, as Miss McGlashan frequently is, "the butterfly princess." But this particular princess is a mighty industrious one. In the spring and summer she is often busy from daylight until after 10 o'clock at night. This little fact is worth mentioning, as Miss McGlaishan has received hundreds of letters from women and girls who apparently want to found a whole dynasty of butterfly princesses. They have heard that this young girl, without capital or previous experience, is making $50 a week out of butterflies and moths. That sounds pretty good to them. But their enthusiasm may suffer a relapse when they read the whole story. She started her "farm" near here a year and a half ago. She was planning then to be a teacher, and when one day she saw her father showing his little grandchild how to capture a butterfly it occurred to her that the knowledge might come in handy in her own career as an instructor of school children. Her father readily consented to show how the trick was done and casually hinted that she could make more money out of butterflies than in pedagogy. He "sugared" some trees for her, fixed her up a lantern and some cyanide in jars, showed her how to catch moths at night by placing the mouth of the jar over the unwary feaster on the sugar, and without more ado she was launched on her career. Inside of two weeks she shipped 1,500 moths and butterflies and received $75 in return. In ten weeks she sold over 10,000 speelmens at a flat price of 5 cents apiece and had over $500 in return. In addition, she had on hand about 20,000 eggs, larvae and pupae, which would hatch out in due season. These really constituted her farm and are the important end of the business. Catching the butterflies and moths is only a small part of the work. The real job is raising them. Only perfect specimens are saleable, and it is a ticklish undertaking to capture these fragile creatures without injuring them. Many of them are already a trifle damaged. They may have lost an antenna or a piece of a wing. The first thing this young entomologist does with her captured specimens, therefore, is to sort them over carefully. She liberates the males that are not perfect so that they may go out and propagate more of their species. The imperfect female specimens she puts in paper bags, one to each bag, so that she will have their eggs to add to her stock. This is where the real work begins in each bag she puts food for the occupant. Butterflies will not deposit their eggs unless confined in a gauze bag or its equivalent and supplied with their particular food. Every day Miss McGlashan feeds her butterflies with dried apples soaked in water containing a little honey or sugar. With this treatment she persuades them to lay their eggs on the inside of the bag. Some of them deposit as many as 200 or 300 eggs. When they have finished they die. The eggs hatch in varying periods, some in a few days, others only after the lapse of months. Miss McGlashan has them in test tubes where she can keep track of their development. During the winter she puts the tubes in cold storage to prevent the eggs hatching before the proper food plants are ready. When the eggs come out she has an other period of feeding before her. She caters to the tastes of these little worms as carefully as if she were a high salaried chef supplying a cuisine for a lot of epicures. She experiments with all kinds of leaves till she finds what seems most tempting to the appetites of her charges. Some of these she keeps in candy jars. If she has many hundreds of one kind she places them in a tight barrel, covering the open head with gauze. In the bottom of each jar or barrel she puts several inches of dirt or leaf mold, as the larvae like to hide in it in the daytime.

HE CALLS IT FISHING. Drains a Ditch and Catches Trout With His Hands. San Francisco.-W. H. Davenport, returning to his home here, tells this story: "I was back in Nevada recently, and a friend of mine who owns what he calls 'just a little ranch' of 9,000 acres asked me if I would like to fish for mountain trout. I said I would; it's my favorite sport. "Come on," said he, and he took me to a stream across which he has built a dam for the purpose of irrigating his alfalfa. "Instead of producing fish poles he suddenly turned on the water and let it run full force through the irrigating ditches for just a half minute. Then he turned it off, and beckoning to me, led me to the irrigating ditch. "By this time the water which he had let in had run out into the fields, and on the bottom of the ditch were about a hundred mountain trout left high and dry and flapping about at a great rate. "My friend gathered about twenty into a basket and threw the rest back alive into the stream. We had the ones he caught for supper, and they were delicious." NAME LAKES AFTER WOMEN. Mrs. Walsh Would So Honor Distinguished Ladies of Today. Mrs. Thomas J. Walsh, wife of Senator Walsh of Montana, is heading an active campaign to honor distinguished American women by giving their names to lakes and other beauty spots within Uncle Sam's great national parks. Women's clubs will be appealed to to further the movement. Mrs. Walsh found inspiration for the movement through the recent courtesy of Mr. Lane, the secretary of the interior, in naming one of the most beautiful lakes In the Glacier National park in Montana Lake Ellen Wilson after Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the president. In Glacier park alone there are several hundreds of these beautiful mountain locked lakes fed by glacier water. Only a few of them have names at present, and Mrs. Walsh wants to see them named for famous American women. She believes that the men of the nation will gladly acquiesce in the proposal. ARISTOCRACY EVEN AMONG THE TRAMPS St. Louis.—Superintendent George M. Arendes, after four months' experience as keeper of the municipal lodging house, declares there is an aristocracy among the impecunious leisure class as well defined as that among the remainder of society in the United States. "A lodging house in St. Louis is a necessity and is helpful to the unfortunates who are temporarily unemployed and to the true hobo," said Arendes to a reporter. "but there is a vast difference between this class of men and those who are labeled 'trumps,' 'buns' and 'stiffs' by the hoobes themselves. To these members of the lower castes we should not extend the same aid, if any, in my opinion, because they do nothing to deserve it and do not profit by it. "A real hobo," said Arendes, "is one who has no fixed place of residence and travels about more or less almlessly, by the roads as a rule, accepting employment whenever he needs money badly or an attractive job is located. "The members of the leisure class, ranking just below the hobo, are called 'tramps' by the hoboes," continued Arendes. "Tramps are men who have not worked for years and have no present intention of ever engaging in profitable labor. They keep to the road, except in severe weather, when they are forced to the cities. They carry with them a complete equipment for their simple needs, such as a razor, soap, towels, changes in clothing and when on the road sometimes carry a blanket and cooking utensils. "A 'bum.' in hobo parlance, is a barrel housefly, who sticks to the cities and begs on the streets for funds. They are a surly lot as a rule, and the real hobo will not associate with them except in cases of necessity. They pay no attention to personal cleanliness, as the tramp and hobo do. They are unwilling to work under any conditions and frequently develop into highwaymen, burglars and pickpockets, but not of sufficient class to have standing with the professionals in this line, I have learned." LONG SEARCH FOR LOSER. Man Still Seeks Owner of Purse Found Fifteen Years Ago. Richmond, Ind.—James Garrett, seventy years old, a farmer of Newgarden township, was In Richmond recently to ask newspapers to assist him in finding the owner of a hand bag and purse he found at the Richmond fair ground fifteen years ago. Garrett explained that he had advertised his find at the time and many times since without avail. The purse contained a small sum of money. "I'm getting pretty old now," said Garrett, "and I want to try once more to find the woman who lost the purse and money. I hope to restore it to her before I die."

The young wife will want a home, and the more attractive and comfortable that home is, the happier she is going to be. Just a house isn't a home. It must be prettily furnished, and to show economy the furnishings must be reliable values. Now, young people, don't go "bargain hunting" to furnish your home.

Come to us where you'll find the price of every piece of Furniture and Carpeting marked in plain figures—where you know that every value will be all that its price can buy anywhere—and where you know that every purchase will be made satisfactory if the test of actual use shows deficiency. We will furnish your home completely and allow you an open account with us. This account will be arranged in divided payments that will correspond with your circumstances; and we realize that the young people must have liberal terms.
