IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Local ing Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE NEXT EXALTEDRULER THE COUNTRY UNANIMOUS FOR ATTORNEY A. W. SCOTT. A POPULAR IDOL ARMOND W. SCOTT, THE MAN. A Strong Elk Notes His Career—The Man Who Is a Mixer—Popular and Aggressive—Choice of the Elks of the Country. To the Editor of The Bec. To the Editor of the Letter. I beg your indulgence to say a few words concerning our fellow townman, Armond W. Scott, Esq., grand legal adviser of the Improved, Beevulent, Protective Order of Elks of the World, the man whom his friends intend to elect next grand exalted ruler. It was my pleasure to have been a delegate to the Grand Lodge Convention which convened in Atlantic City, N. J., last August, and I am quite sure the Elks of this country have long since been convinced that that was the greatest convention ever held in the history of this order. I have watched at close range the career of Brother Scott ever since he first came as a stranger to the District of Columbia. I have noted with extreme delight his wonderful career as a lawyer in this city. Starting penniless, "a stranger among strangers," he has steadily worked his way upward until he has built up a practice "second to none," and he has now the respect and esteem of the entire bar and bench of this community. He is honest and frank "to a fault," and conscientious in all of his dealings with his many clients. His career in the Order of Elks has been equally rapid and noted, and he has been long since considered by the Elks throughout this country as "the strong man" of the order. He has always stood out against graft and needless expenditures of money in all the secret organizations to which he belongs. At the Grand Lodge convention in Boston, he made himself famous in the order, by his matchless address which he delivered in nominating Harry H. Pace for the office of grand exalted ruler. At that convention he was also a member of the Committee on Revision of Laws and was largely instrumental in abolishing a number of standing committees which had annually called for large and needless expenditures of money of the order. He was also instrumental in abolishing a number of useless offices, thus saving the order a great deal of money. Since he has been grand legal adviser of the order he has taken a firm stand against paying out large and exorbitant attorney's fees, which have hitherto been a constant drain upon the treasury. At the conclusion of his annual report, which he delivered at Atlantic City last summer, there was so much enthusiasm that the convention was stamped and he was given a half hour of applause. He is possessed of a rare personality, and wherever he comes in contact with Elks, he infuses new hope and inspiration. I need not hesitate in saying that I have not the slightest doubt that he will be overwhelmingly elected next grand exalted ruler of the Order at Norfolk, Va. Scores of brethren who voted against him at Atlantic City last year have advised him and his friends that they propose to vote for him this year and intend to leave no stone unturned until he has been elected head of this order. He has been the guest of many lodges during the past year, and wherever he has gone he has left a lasting impression. He was the guest of O. V. Catto Lodge last Sunday, where he received a royal reception, and the delegates from that lodge are going to Norfolk to cast their votes for him in this fight. The delegates from the two lodges in this city are instructed to vote solidly for him. And he and his friends are receiving almost daily assurances of support from lodges throughout the country. Our candidate, Brother Scott, says that he is willing to abide by the spirit of the resolution passed by the Grand Lodge in this city in nineteen hundred and ten, limiting the tenure of the office of grand exalted ruler to one year. He believes in rotation in office in secret organizations in order that the "door of hope" may not be shut against the other brethren of the order, who have the same right to aspire to the positions of honor and trust, especially in this order which has so many worthy and able men. He is a good mixer, and is much at home with the humblest member of the order as with the highest. He knows no aristocracy, except the aristocracy of true manhood, and that has been the key to his success as a lawyer in the District of Columbia, where he is the idol of the plain people, whose rights he has always been ready to defend and protect. The delegates from the State of Virginia stood loyally by our candidate at Atlantic City last year, and from the reports we have been receiving, those delegates will be equally as loyal this year at Norfolk. It will be remembered, that he made his brilliant fight at Atlantic City against all odds, and yet was only defeated by four votes. This year, we think that there will be a different tale to tell. The election of Armond W. Scott as grand exalted ruler of this order will bring about a new era, and will infuse new life and inspiration throughout Elkdom in this country. CHARLES FREEMAN, Chairman of Delegation from Columbia Lodge No. 85, I. B. P. O. E of W. to the Grand Lodge Convention, Norfolk, Va., August, 1914. AN INSTRUCTIVE TRIP Met Many Old Friends. Mr. E. W. Harrison, of 1822 Fourth Street Northwest, superintendent of Metropolitan A. M. E. Sunday School, returned to the city Friday, July 10, after an absence of more than two weeks. While away he traversed a territory extending through eleven States for a total of 2,300 miles. He reports a pleasant trip and a hearty reception at his old-time home. At Brinkley, Ark., he found his parents well, and his oldest-sister hastened from Shreveport, La., to meet him there. The Harrison family, consisting of father, mother, three brothers and six sisters, was reunited once more and a photo taken. St. Paul A. M. E. Sunday School accorded due honors to her former superintendent, who began his Sunday School career here and he responded with a helpful talk. In Marvell, Ark., the reception was even more hearty. A public reception was given at Wesley Chapel A. M. E. Church on Tuesday night, July 7. A program was rendered and repast served Here he met a young lady from Washington, Miss Mary Craft, of 1947 Vermont Avenue Northwest She is the guest for the summer of Miss Alma Tate, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abner Tate. They are schoolmates at Wilberforce University. Wilberforce, Ohio, where Miss Craft has spent the last three years. Marvell has representatives at most of the prominent colleges of the South and East. Though in Helena for a few hours only, between trains Mr. Harrison was the guest of Dr. R. A. Williams, supreme president of the Royal Circle of Friends of the World, an order founded by him five years ago, which has taken Arkansas by storm and has been extended into seven other States. Dr. Williams showed his visitor through his new three-story brick building. Half of the first floor is devoted to the Royal Messenger, the organ of the order. They boast the most complete and largest printing outfit for colored in the State. In the same building regalia for the order is manufactured and all necessary supplies kept. After showing him through the building, the Doctor invited his guest to enter his large touring car and they were driven to his residence, where a sumptuous Southern dinner was served. The Doctor has a beautiful home with all modern conveniences. After dinner the party were whirled swiftly to the station in the Doctor's auto and the guest left with pleasant memories of Helena. The same courteous treatment was accorded in St. Louis on his way south. Mr. Harrison was met at the train by Mr. F. Z. Wilson, an old boyhood friend, who took charge of him and for a few hours made him feel that he was among friends. Mr. Wilson carried his guest to the new city-post office, where he is employed as clerk, then through the downtown district. Next a visit was made to the leading churches. Mr. Wilson is superintendent of Central Baptist Sunday School, one of the largest in the country. St. Paul A. M. E. was also visited, then the Colored Y. M. C. A. and the leading colored business places on Market Street, including the offices of the Argus and Afro-American. Time did not permit a visit to the new High School. The colored people of St. Louis, from Mr. Harrison's reports, are alive to their opportunities and are making commendable-progress. The trip, on the whole was a pleasant ong. Beautiful scenery was to be observed along the way. More than thirty tunnels were passed through. Crops in the South seemed to be doing well although a drouth of seven weeks was broken shortly after his arrival by rain. The people are not discounted and conditions along race lines and race feeling could be worse. HALT IS CALLED On Pasteurizing of Dirty Milk—Dr. Goldwater Issues Rules Providing for New Standards of Milk and Cream for the City's Consumption. (Alfred W. McCann in New York Globe.) The Greeg case, by means of which the pasteurizers of dirty milk hoped to be able to force milk containing 48,000,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter down the throats of the people, was not well planned by the enemies of clean milk, as far as New York City was concerned. The champions of sterilized manure failed to take into consideration one Dr. S. S. Goldwater, Commissioner of Health of New York City. Dr. Goldwater has come to the rescue in spite of the $25,000 fund which has been raised by the friends of marketable filth in an attempt to defeat all legislation aimed at the sanitary-control of milk. The Department of Health, over the signature of Dr. Goldwater, has THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN \RMOND W SCOTT, ESQ. Grand Legal Advisor I B. P O E. of W The Choice of the Elks Throughout the Country as the Next Grand Exalted Ruler. just issued new rules and regulations relating to the sale of milk and cream in Greater New York. By these regulations the efforts of the more or less scientists who, at the Greeg trial, Washington, D. C., less than one month ago, attempted to discredit all bacteria standards as far as milk is concerned, have been rendered null and void, at least as far as New York is concerned. The new regulations of the New York Health Department are based on bacteria standards. According to the cleanliness of the milk, the health of the cows, and the method and equipment of the dairy, Dr. Goldwater has classified all milk as Grade A, Grade B and Grace C. Under Grade A are the following classifications: This milk must be produced by tuberculin tested cows under the direction of the Medical Society of the County of New York in dairies scoring at least 93 points. The bacteria standards are the same as those for Grade A guaranteed milk or cream. This milk must also be raw. Grade A Inspected Milk or Cream. This milk must be produced from tuberculin tested cows in dairies scoring not less than 75 points (equipment 25, method 50) under a permit from the Board of Health. At the time of sale to the consumer it must contain not more than 60,000 bacteria per c. c. for milk and not more than 300,000 bacteria per c. c. for cream. It must be sold in bottles only,'unless under a special permit. Grade A Guaranteed Milk or Cream. This milk must be produced by tuberculin tested cows in dairies that score at least 93 points (equipment 35, method 58). This is raw milk and must contain, at time of sale to the consumer, not more than 10,000 bacteria per c. c. for milk, and not more than 50,000 baeteria per c. c. for cream. It must be sold in sealed bottles, sealed at the dairy holding a permit from the Board of Health. The caps of the bottles must be white and must bear the phrase "Grade A" in bold, black letters. Grade B Pasteurized. The cows producing this milk are not required to pass a tuberculin test. The milk must be produced in a dairy scoring at least 55 points (equipment 20, method 35). It must contain not more than 100,000 bacteria per c. c. for milk or more than 500,000 bacteria per c. c. for cream after pasteurization. No raw milk containing more than 1,000,000 bacteria per c. c. can be pasteurized under Grade B. It must be sold in bottles containing a white cap on which is printed the phrase "Grade B" in bright green letters with a record of the date, hour, and place of pasteurization and the dealer's name. Grade C Milk. No test is required for the cows producing this milk. The dairy, however, is required to score at least 40 points (equipment 15, method 25). It must not be more than forty-eight hours old at time of sale. The bottle or cans must have white caps bearing the phrase "Grade C" in red letters, and the additional phrase "For cooking." Grade A Selected Milk or Cream Pasteurized For this milk no tuberculin test is required, It must be produced under a permit from the Department of Health in a dairy scoring at least 67 points (equipment 20, methods 47). At the time of sale this milk must not contain more than 50,000 bacteria per c. c. The cream must contain not These new regulations, which are published here for the first time, will make all such farcical episodes as the Greec case impossible in the city of New York. They should serve warning to the pasteurizers of dirty milk that the thousands of dollars which they are spending in the defense of dirty milk are absolutely wasted, as far as New York is concerned. Such money, if spent in an honest effort to encourage the farmers to produce clean milk by paying them an honest price for their product, would accomplish results infinitely more effective than those brought about by the present shameful methods of open warfare against decency and would help to insure a prosperous and permanent commercial future for those who are now striving to destroy the milk standards of the nation. Employee's Compensation Bill Representative David J. McGillicuddy, Democrat of Maine, has introduced a bill that is a simple matter of justice, and it should pass this session. This bill which the committee has considered and reported favorably with amendments, provides compensation for employees of the United States suffering injuries or "occupational diseases" in the course of their employment. The bill is exhaustive and thorough in providing as to the genuineness of claims under the act and in exacting punishment for its violation. The concluding section-No. 31 provides for the creation of a commission to be known as the United States Employees' Compensation Commission, consisting of three members appointed, by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, to be paid $5,000 a year. This bill has the endorsement of the civic organizations, and all the general labor organizations—the Commissioner of Labor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics; the Commission on Industrial Relations; the "American Association;" the National Civic Service Employees' Association; the Federal Civil Service Society; the United States Injured and Disabled Employees' Association; the Knights of Labor and American Federation of Labor, and seemingly every element interested. The whole Nation will rejoice that after all these years of cold and cruel delay, and absolute neglect, Congress is moving into line with modern business—tardy, but by the side of modern business method, and therefore a credit to the Nation. This bill, H. R. 15,222, is now on the "Unanimous Calendar," and it is expected that it will pass the House at the next "Unanimous Consent Day," at about the middle of this month. Nearly every State in the Union has laws of similar In the Senate the Kern and Sutherland bills are still in committee. It is possible that when the McGillicuddy bill goes to the Senate Committee, it will be promptly accepted and reported for passage, for the Senate bills cover substantially the same ground. In this paper for January we said: "Talk to your Senator and Congressman," and show them who needs this attention. We get these figures from the various associations, and they have been given to the House Committee. Every reader of this paper should keep the following facts, and use them, or pass them to some one who will use them. Congressmen are willing to work when they know the people at home will stand by them. How can they know it if you don't say so, and tell what you want. Less than 85,000 employees out of a total of 400,000 come within the scope of our present law; the scale of compensation is inadequate; there is no proper administrative organization to carry out the provisions of the law, and the law is hedged about by arbitrary conditions, often resulting in gross injustice. During the first three years there were some 6,000 uncompensated accidents, 1,600 of them serious and 390 fatal. In the mail delivery service alone there were twenty-five fatal and 569 nonfatal accidents for which there was no compensation. Injuries involving disability for less than fifteen days go uncompensated, though this involves 55 per cent of approximately 10,000 accidents per annum in the government service. As low as $396 was paid for a death claim, and $25 and $30 for an eye. A case is cited in which, due to faulty and dangerous machinery, a man died as the result of being drenched by sulphuric acid. The superintendent of the plant resisted the payment of a year's wages as compensation on the ground of "contributory negligence." Happily, an investigation left this claim unfounded and the widow received compensation. We have great faith that the strong men in both Senate and House will not let this measure go by default; for it is as right as the multiplication table. Course of Study At the invitation of Hon. Payson Smith, State Superintendent of Education for the State of Maine, Booker T. Washington has been accompanying Mr. Smith for eight days through the State of Maine delivering a course of lectures to the public school teachers and others of that State. The principal meeting of the series was held at Castine, Maine, where Mr. Smith has a meeting of all the city and county superintendents in the State at which Mr. Washington spoke. A WARNING With reference to the poor blacks I will say it has many phases, occasioned by two causes, to-wit: 1st. The sin of commission. 2d. The sin of omission. As to the omission I would advise parents to take closer supervision in knowing their children's surroundings conducive to good morals. The reproof of instruction which is the way of life, should be vigorously persued on the part of the ministers throughout their various churches. Read 24 Proverbs, 10th, 11th and 12th verses.

James Lewis, Leader in His Race, Expires at Home Here. (New Orleans Picayune, July 15.) A foremost representative of the Negro race in this section passed away when Col. James Lewis died Saturday morning at 4 o'clock. Col. Lewis was born September 11, 1833, at Woodville, Miss. Though deprived of the advantages of early school training, James Lewis managed to pick up a great deal of information during his manhood, sufficient, in fact, to make him a leader among his race and to win the respect of the whites. Though an ardent Republican since the Civil War, he bore himself so as to retain the respect and generally the esteem of the white race. Col. Lewis was an aristocrat of his race, and was not disposed to associate on terms of equality with the mass of his people. He held himself, in a measure, aloof from them, even while working zealously for their betterment. In politics Col. Lewis played a conspicuous part for many years and held important offices both in the Federal and the municipal governments. He was appointed United States naval officer by President Hayes, Surveyor General by President Arthur, Deputy Collector of Customs and Immigration Inspector by President Harrison, and Surveyor General by Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. In the city government he was Commissioner of Police and Public Buildings and Administrator of Public Improvements. When he was the only Republican in the city government, in 1873, Louis A. Wiltz, then-Mayor and afterward Governor of the State, said of him: "Col. Lewis has devoted himself to his duties with great energy and industry, having constant care that every dollar expended should benefit the city." Col. Lewis has been grand master of the State, sovereign grand inspector general of the Southern Jurisdiction of Colored Free Masons, and attained the thirty-third degree in the Scottish Rite. He had been department commander of the Grand Army of the Republic of Louisiana and Mississippi. REV. W. H. NELSON. One of the Greatest Pulpit Orators in the Country. The Bee last week published several letters of commendation from well known citizens concerning and commending Rev. W. H. Nelson, pastor of Israel Bethel Church, one of the oldest and best known churches in this city. A great deal REV W H NELSON. Who Is Growing Popular With the People. has been written and published about Rev. Nelson, but there are thousands who have never seen him. To appreciate a person is to see and know him. The Bee this week presents the picture of this well known divine to enable the people to see him. Now, if you want to know him and appreciate a sermon of eloquence and logic, you must go and hear him. He is one of the greatest scholars in the pulpit. PASSED STATE BOARD.

Prof. G. W. Cook The article in The Bee last week entitled "The Salt of the Earth That Has Not Lost Its Savor." was written by Prof. Geo. Wm. Cook, secretary of Howard University. OUR NORMAL SCHOOL Interesting History of This Great Educational Center—Brief History of Washington Normal School No. 2. June 30, 1885, at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia, at which there were present the president, Mr. Wm. H. Baum, and Messrs. Lovejoy, Birney, Clark Curtis, Griswold, Purvis, Brooks and Smith, the following resolution was introduced by Dr. C. B. Pruvis: "Resolved, That the Committee on High and Normal Schools report to this board, at its first or second meeting in August, a plan and estimates for establishing a Normal School in the city of Washington for colored ladies upon the same conditions that govern the Washington Normal School." The history of Washington Normal School No. 2 must be read both ways from that date. The school had its inception more than thirty years before that action, when it was opened in December, 1851, with six pupils, in a small apartment which had been leased for that purpose by Miss Myrtilla Miner, a splender young white woman, who came from New York State, into the then slave-ridden District, with one hundred dollars in her hand with which to start a Normal School for Colored Girls. Her main object was to fit colored women to be teachers of their own kind, whom she loved with a spirit of divine sympathy and helpfulness. At this time the District of Columbia contained about 3,600 slaves and 10,000 free colored people. The former "had no rights which a white man was bound to respect," and the latter had all the responsibilities and few of the privileges or opportunities of free men. This little woman, Miss Miner, fired with the zeal of a Joan of Arc and the persistence and honor of a Galaahad, was the victim of obloquy and ostracism from her white fellows, in whom the pro-slavery spirit was dominant in the District at that time. She was hooted at and attacked with stones and clubs by bhoodlums, and attacked and threatened by such powerful forces as one Walter Lenox, at one time Mayor of Washington, who wrote against her and her enterprises in the National Intelligencer, in 1857. She was not daunted, however, and the number of her students increased to fifteen in the first month. It increased to forty in the second month, chiefly from among the more well-to-do families of free people in Washington. From its beginning in 1851 to June, 1884, the Miner Normal School, as it was called, graduated eighty-four young women prepared to teach in the elementary public schools. Of that number, sixty-five were employed at that time in the Washington schools for colored children, rendering service which was satisfactory to the authorities and beneficial to the early development of the schools in the District of Columbia. In one of the periodic attacks to which the administrators of the Normal School are subject, Messrs J. J. Darlington and John W. Ross, submitted to the Board of Trustees, September 17, 1889, a report in these words: "In the opinion of the committee, the urgent need in both the Normal Schools, and especially the Normal School in question, at the present time, is the erection by the faculty of a higher degree of efficiency as essential to graduation; the graduates, under the present rules, practically composing the teaching force of the District. The system of marking appears to us free from objection. The interests of the children and of the community at large demand that this be absolutely required of the Normal School faculties." No less an authority than the U. S. Commissioner of Education, Dr. P. P. Claxton, re-uttered the same demand in his faultless, practical and philosophic address at the recent Commencement in the Assembly Hall of the new home of Washington Normal School No. 2, June 17, 1914. Mrs. Terrell's Relations to the Schools. After the school was taken over by the Board of Trustees of the D. C. Public Schools in 1879, the number of students attending remained around forty, not more than ten of whom should be males. The average number graduated, by the process of elimination was twenty-six, most of whom were appointed to positions as teachers in the Washington Schools. The candidates were eligible for admission to the normal schools upon the completion of the prescribed course in the Academic High Schools and after a competitive examination by the Superintendents of Schools, white and colored. This restriction upon the number remained until 1906, when Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the first colored woman to become a member of the Board of Education, under a new law of Congress, influenced the board to make eligible, without examination, all graduates of the prescribed courses in both the Academic and the Technical High Schools. In the meantime the courses in the High Schools had been increased to four years in length and the normal course to two years. Mrs. Terrell having taught in the High School, was qualified to speak of the fitness of the graduates therefrom, and fore saw the large usefulness of the Normal School at the Nation's Capital as a training school for teachers of colored children wherever they might be found. This new condition at once increased the enrollment to an hundred, in round numbers, and it has been steadily climbing, with no deterioration in either the qualifications of the entrants or the preparation of the graduates. The increase in the time from one year to two years, was the logical result of the increase in the standard of teaching throughout the civilized world. An increase to three years is imminent. Spirit and Standard of the School. Few people unaquainted with the history of this school realize the obligation resting upon it. Washington Normal School No. 2 not only labors to maintain the spirit of a normal school, with its insight, sympathy and skill in aiding human nature to develop and realize its capacities, but its graduates are sent out with the spirit of Miss Miner, its founder. It is no accident, but by design, that the successive classes adopt as their mottoes such expressions of intent as "Service our Mission," "I serve," "Light, Truth, Service;" for Miss Miner wrote in one of her letters referring to the high standard she held up for the guidance of the school: "But it becomes me candidly to confess my continuous weakness (if weakness it be) in not having reduced my standard of excellence for that school; and I would rather see it suspended forever than continued on reduced principles, indulging the weakness and deteriorating elements of character which attend all oppressed classes." If the seals of approval placed upon its graduates by successive U. S. Commissioners of Education: Dr. W. T. Harris, Dr. Elmer E. Brown, and Dr. P. P. Claxton, by the leading universities, Chicago, Howard, Columbia, which credit its graduates with work done in the Normal School; by the educational departments of the several States from Illinois to Texas, which receive and appoint its graduates without examination; by the educators of civilized countries throughout the world, who mention the school in their reports of visits to this country, who address it for suggestions and advice, and by the Congress of the United States, which sustains and maintains it and empowers the employment of its graduates in every department of the local school system. If these are any certificates of the standard of the school, it is true today as in 1885, when written by Miss E. M. O'Conner, secretary of the Institution for the Education of colored youth. "It is a pleasure to be able to state that under successive able principals the standard of excellence upheld by Miss Miner has not been allowed to deteriorate, and that school will compare favorably with white schools of the same grade in any part of the Union. And the institution bids fair to continue for many years in the future, to exalt and perpetuate the memory of its founder, and be a continual blessing to the community where it exists. Buying a Site. By an odd coincidence, the Congress of the United States appropriated $40,000 for the purchase of site upon which to erect a permanent, modern home for Washington. Normal School No. 2, while the Miner Board received in 1872 $40,000 for the site of three acres in square 115, at Nineteenth and Twentienth Streets New Hampshire Avenue and N Street, which Miss Miner had purchased in 1853 for $4,000. It must never be forgotten that those great-hearted members of the Society of Friends in Philadelphia gave liberally to Miss Miner in her efforts at establishing this school. Thos. Williamson, Samuel Rhondes, Jasper Cope- and Catherine Morris were liberal donors. (It was the author's pleasure, as a boy, to have personally known, and to have been aided by Miss Catherine, Morris.) It should be announced to every graduating class that Harriet Beecher Stowe, of sainted memory, gave to Miss Miner's work $1,000 of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" money, reinforced by her sympathy and encouragement. It may not be known generally that sixty years of service by the school had not removed all opposition to the success of such an institution, and though the activities of the present principal, Dr. Moten, had not the physical danger and the hardships of the founder of the school and Miss Moten's predecessor, yet her efforts in behalf of the refounding of Normal School No.2 were successful largely because of the presence in Congress of a small band of newer friends who believe in equal opportunity as the bedrock of democracy, and that for the oppressed, equal opportunity means encouragement, assistance and guidance, as well as merely a chance, to be and to live. Diversification of Activities No one unconnected with the Normal School can form any idea of its multiform relations and activities. "What is a normal school?" asks some one. "A place where they train teachers," is the answer. But low does a normal school train teachers?" The answer to that question involves the broadest principles of sociology and ethics as well as the immediately practical conditions of the annual expenditure for instruction per pupil. In the early days of Miss Miner's work she was visited by friends and critics. Some came to admire and encourage, others to condemn, but all left with the conviction that a very necessary work was being very seriously performed to the benefit of the students, and certainly not to the injury of the community. In Miss Miner's letters she says, May 3, 1854: "My school has been visited by people from Kentucky, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Canada and Washington." Her biographer says: "Her school became one of the show places of Washington to be seen by visitors, who came from all parts of the United States." The school was frequently visited by members of Congress and their families, among whom are recorded Schuyler Colafx, who was afterwards Vice President of the United States; Joshua Giddings, Owen Lovejoy and Charles Durkee of Wisconsin. As it was then, so it is now, visitors from every quarter of the civilized world are to be seen from time to time in its office, assembly hall and classrooms. They question, observe, address and sometimes teach the classes. They discuss courses of study, administration, and educational policies with the principal and with members of the faculty. Hundreds of letters requesting information, advice and suggestions are received and answered annually, and the total mail During Miss Miner's administration letters, compositions, cleaning, sanitation and personal hygiene with gardening received her constant attention. Today those activities are extended and conducted by individual members of the faculty, who must be experts to attain the principal's rating of "Excellent." The library attendants at the United States Congressional Library, the Library of the Bureau of Education and the Washington Public Library can testify to the extent, nature and applicability of the research of the students who are obliged to prepare exhaustive summaries of pertinent educational themes. In addition to these general activities within the school, there is marked differentiation within the course of teacher training. Assistant Superintendent Bruce Authorizes Advance. With the passage of the Organic Act, Public 254, Congress in June, 1906, created many changes in the organization of the public schools of Washington, and the Board of Education, which was given control under that act, appointed Mr. R. C. Bruce, as assistant superintendent of public schools, in charge of colored schools, to succeed Dr. W. S. Montgomery, who had been assistant superintendent under the repealed law and was reappointed for one year under the revision provided for in the Act mentioned. This Act gave to the Principal of the Normal School "entire control, both executive and educational, subject only to the authority of the assistant superintendent for the colored schools." Under this provision, Mr. Bruce gave much attention to the administration of the normal school, even to its internal administration. He has frequently asserted that his intentions were to aid the principal to make it a city college, and one of the first acts was to introduce several courses in addition to the existing courses for training in teaching regular elementary classes and kindergartens. Although the principal, Dr. Moten, had frequently urged the introduction of practical arts into the school, and had from time to time induced experts to aid her by demonstrating the principles of the work, she had not been permitted to introduce any changes which looked to a department in any distinct paths from the work of Normal School No. 1. This new act with its express authority given to the colored assistant superintendent removed that obstacle, and Mr. Bruce authorized the introduction of courses in preparation for domestic science teachers, domestic art teachers, drawing teachers, and teachers of woodwork, or manual arts. Entering classes were prompt to avail themselves of these new activities in agreement with their several capacities, and upon graduation therefrom were promptly appointed to positions in the local school system, which had been enriched through the development of resources of all sorts of vocational training. Under a Board of Education which came into existence in 1900 through a previous revision by act of Congress, Rule 76 had been introduced by Mr. James F. Bundy, secretary of Howard University Law School, and a member of that Board of Education, which rule provided that not more than five college graduates might be admitted to a one-year course in the Normal School, preparatory to teaching in grammar grades. But one student presented himself for this course, and it fell into disuse, until September, 1908, when the principal, Dr. Moten, was informed that "the Board of Education had granted her the privilege of admitting a few selected college graduates to a course in training in the theory and practice of teaching grammar grades." Seven young men and five young women availed themselves of this opportunity and found themselves greatly benefited and quickly adapted to successful procedure in their work after appointment. Nine of these "college section" graduates (six young men and three young women) were appointed to the intermediate department of the schools, of which Mr. Bruce, was director, by the Organic Law. One young man was soon transferred to the science department of the Technical High School and one young woman was appointed to the Academy of Howard University. Among the graduates of the differentiated courses who are successfully employed outside of the District of Columbia. Foster Father of the Normal School. To understand the peculiar relations of the Washington Normal School No. 2 to the city school system, it is necessary to recall that it was founded by the individual efforts of Miss Myrtilla Miner, who conducted it and secured the funds for its maintenance and growth; and that those funds were applied by an incorporated body known as the Institution for the Education of Colored Youth, authorized by Congress, and acting under an agreement with the Board of Trustees of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia, August 12, 1879. By this agreement the incorporated board, which may be called the "Miner Board" for brevity and identification, engaged to pay the salary of the principal, whom they nominated, subject to confirmation by the Board of Trustees of the District of Columbia Public Schools. Miss Anne L. Foote was appointed as acting supervising principal of the Miner Normal School in September, 1879, to be followed by Miss Martha B. Briggs, who remained at its head until Miss Lucy E. Moten was confirmed upon nomination by the Miner Board in July, 1883. It was the character of the work done under this new principal, which made it possible for Dr. Purvis to present the resolution with which our account of this history begins. In 1886 the Miner Board found itself no longer able to pay the salary of the principal of the Miner Normal School, and by a resolution of Hons. John W. Ross, J. J. Darlington and Dr. John R. Francis, the Board of Trustees of the local systems of schools carried the matter to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and to the Congress of the United States, and received a salary as well as by its action changed the character of the Normal School from the "Miner Normal School to the "Normal School of the Seventh and Eighth Divisions," thus making it a part of the local school system. During this earlier period of municipal incorporation of the Normal School, it was the vision of Mr. Geo. F. T. Cook and the mastery of his problem in building up a system which should compare favorably with that of his white fellow-superintendent, which organized the school and established its practice schools supervised its work and counseled its Principal and teachers. During those days of slow growth Mr. Cook was ably supported by such men as Henry Johnson, John H. Brooks, Dr. Furman, J. Shadd, J. J. Darlington, and the Hon. B. K. Bruce. Mr. Cook seconded the principal, who had been trained in Salem, Mass., in giving that attention to thoroughness and accuracy which so characterized his own work for a lifetime, and the evidence of the success then, as in the passing years, is in the services and activities of the graduates. Among the first to graduate under Miss Moten as principal, June, 1885, may be named: Margaret Anderson, Harriet Beason, Emma Brooke, Clara Cropper, Catherine Davis, Louisa Early, Charlotte Hunter, Harriet Hebron, Adele Hughes, Alberta Lewis, Isetta Merriman, Julia Pierre, Susan Robinson, Grace Shimm, Susie J. Cox, Fanny Ware and Georgiana Simpson. In their bearing, dress and manner many of those mentioned above show to this day the effects of their earlier training in the Normal School. Naming the New Home of the School. For many years the effort to name the schools of the city in duplication of the names of the schools for white children has proved abortive. Twenty-five years ago it was proposed to call the High Schools "Nos. 1 and 2," respectively, and the Normal Schools by similar designations, but such plans always failed. By resolution Dr. Jon. R. Francis sought to have the Normal School called the "Miner Normal School," but the commissioner, Mr. Webb, to whom it was referred, evidently did not approve it, as it continues in the records to be called "Normal School of the Seventh and Eighth Divisions." Not until the reorganization under the Organic Law of 1906 did the name "Normal School No. 2" become affixed, and soon Normal School No. 1 became the James Ormond Wilson Normal School, while the Normal School for Colored Youths became, in the plans of the Municipal Architect, "Normal School No. 169." Now many interested friends and the larger portion of the interested citizens advocate that it be called the "George F. T. Cook Normal School," as parallel to the Wilson Normal in permanency, as Mr. Cook's services were parallel to the services of Mr. Wilson in reality. Although Mr. Cook fathered the Normal School, Mr. Cook was primarily interested in the origin, growth and development of the Academic High School, if his services can be segregated to any branch of the system. He was so much more interested in the M Street High School than in any other branch of the work that he, in his last will and testament, gave a sum sufficient to make a total of $200 to found a system of prizes for the students of that school. Inasmuch as the normal school is the direct outgrowth of the heroic sacrifices by Miss Miner, whose inspiration still lives and actuates its graduates, and inasmuch as the present M Street High School is to be replaced by a modern structure in another neighborhood to which the name "M Street" will not apply, and inasmuch as Mr. Cook's services were signally crowned by the erection and development of that school, it does seem that the new academic high school should be called the "George F. T. Cook High School," while the name of the Washington Normal School No. 2 should be the "Myrtilla Miner Normal School." Organization. No record of the work of the Washington Normal School No. 2 is complete which fails to take into account the services which have been rendered during its rapid growth in the past eight years, by the assistant directors and directresses of the several departments of the public schools. The courses in special teacher training which were, inaugurated have been in their technical aspects, conducted by the men and women of those posts in the regular school system, and in no way connected with the Normal School or under its supervision or control. This work has been done by them without compensation and through co-operation with the principal and faculty of the Normal School. Miss A. J. Turner, assistant directress of physical training; Mrs. Shaw, assistant directress of domestic science; Miss Jones, deceased, and Miss' Wilson, assistant directresses of domestic art; Mr. T. W. Hunster, assistant director of drawing; Mr. Macdonald, assigned assistant director of manual training, assisted from time to time by Mr. Dodson, teacher of applied design at the Armstrong Manual Training School, and many other members of the faculty of that school, who were called to aid in the preparation of the members of the Normal School, have given their services and their time to development of these courses in the good normal school teacher. That the value of the course might be available in a general way to all students in the Normal School, both for purposes of immediate life and for the character of work to be done among the children and communities where they shall teach, the subject of Household Arts was recently introduced into the curriculum and provided with a teacher and with equipment for demonstration of and practice in simple household activities along the lines of applied sciences. In the new home of the school, Georgia Avenue between Euclid Street and Howard Place, recently completed at a cost of $200,000, these several activities have been given separate and carefully planned facilities; and it is planned to correlate the whole work through the interrelations of the subjects of the curriculum with the study of biology, this being the final word in pedagogical procedure from the German universities and founded upon research in experimental education. As at present organized, the Washington Normal School No. 2 allows for each subject a definite per cent of the credit value of that subject. The credit value of each subject is based upon the time allotted for recitation and the difficulty attendant upon home work. The junior year has an allotment of thirty-four credits, the term of the senior year devoted to theory has an allotment of twenty-six credits and the term of actual practice with observation and seminary work has an allotment of forty credits, making a total of 100. The work as outlined allows 25 per cent of the time for professional subjects, 25 per cent for practice and observation connected therewith, and 50 per cent for academic work and a review of subject matter.

There seems to be a new policy adopted since the advent of the Wilson administration, to harass the colored people as much as possible. To be sure, much cannot be expected from the police force when it comes to reasonable treatment of colored people. For years the police have made no bones in unjustly arresting colored men of education and high social and financial standing for no other reason than that they are colored men, an exhibition of which so disgusted decent people, while and colored, not many months ago. But in the neighborhood referred to the majority of the people are poor and hardworking. It seems that word went along the lines to clear H Street of colored pedestrians who for any reason stop for a time, however brief, and for whatever purpose. The consequence is that that neighborhood is being grossly and brutally overworked. Several cases of unjust severity have been reported for instance where colored people stop for the purpose of purchasing fish and other articles from hucksters who may be seen on H Street, on almost any night, they are snatched up and taken to the station house and required to deposit from one to two dollars for no offense more serious than stopping just long enough to make a necessary purchase. And this, too, when drunken white men are permitted to stand for longer or shorter time on the sidewalks, often in boisterous wrangles, disturbing the peace and disgusting decent people; and when such persons are dealt with at all, are simply advised to go home. No such lenency or warning is permitted the colored people. A police regulation inaugurated for the purpose of insuring safety from annoyance by loafers and vicious people is highly salutary if carried out with fairness and discretion. But when the regulation discriminates against the colored people, simply because of their color, and without any reference to their respectability or the quality of their acts, it ought to be inquired into by any just police officer. A white man who observed a case of glaring and flagrant injustice to an innocent colored man, said that if such treatment were shown the white man, the Superintendent of Police, the Commissioners, or even the President would be called upon to stop the treatment. We ask Commissioner Siddons to look into the matter and correct them, if as stated. NEGROES WEIGHTED IN BALANCE. The present aspect of affairs as relates to the Negro is a proper subject for consideration at the present moment, for the reason that there are a number of indications on the horizon that should receive careful attention and thoughtful analysis. In the world-view of things all is not well. All the Negro governments are either in the hands of a receiver, or are on the point of having a receiver nominated to wind up their affairs. The fiscal affairs of Santo Domingo have been under the supervision BE FAIR and control of the United States since Roosevelt's second term. Liberia is anaemic and in final straits, and is being assisted in the matter of internal and customs administration by the United States. Hayti is tottering toward the brink of national bankruptcy. Her national debt is $31,000,000, and the present government is at its wits end to meet the periodic payments of interest as they fall due. French and German creditors are looking to their governments to take steps to secure such administration of Haytian revenues as will assure regular payments of interest, and either the gradual extinction of the principal debt, or its satisfactory refunding. In the matter of racial organizations all is not well. In the fraternal orders there is strife, dissention and division, having its origin solely in a contest for the loaves and fishes, and in the desire for personal promotion and personal profit. The rank and file of the membership of the fraternal orders are the poor men and women of the race, who follow the hardest kind of work, and receive the smallest pittance of pay, and who from their meager earnings save enough to get and retain membership in some organization, which they hope will take care of them when they are sick and give them decent burial when they die. Instead of those who are at the head of affairs or those who seek to get at the head of affairs, having a definite program of efficient, economical and honest administration, they are devising schemes for making expensive and unnecessary places for henchmen and fellow conspirators, and further exploitation of the poor and confiding. In the churches the same conditions exist. In one church a bishop's character is passed at the general conference by the closest sort of vote, another bishop is unrocked, and a third bishop is accused of receiving a gift from a fund collected for missionary purposes. In another church a bishop is accused of receiving a gift from funds collected for educational purposes, and another bishop is accused of coarse and brutal conduct toward a woman. In all the churches wire pulling, intriguing, office seeking and exploitation of the membership is taking the place of endeavor to bring to pass the Kingdom and Will of our Father which is in heaven. The examination might be carried into other walks of life and into the individual lives of Negroes who have been prominent in race affairs, and have occupied a large place in the imagination of the people for no other reason in the world than that the president has appointed and the Senate has confirmed them to some office under the federal government. Some of these former federal office holders are most patriotic figures, and others are most contemptible. Their example is most demoralizing and de- pressing to the youth of the race. No parent who has a boy or girl for whom he has hopes would wish him, or her to be like some of these mischief makers, and vengeance seekers, who make a practice of violating confidences, and becoming traitors to friendship. It is difficult to imagine a man who has held an office of trust and confidence under the government, and who has been welcomed into the privacy of a home, eating its salads, drinking its liquids, and regaling himself with nicotine favors, and who subsequently has a difference with his host and entertainer—it is difficult to imagine a man so placed in life who would violate every practice of hospitality, every obligation of decency, and every principle of private intercourse, in pursuit of the gratification of the passion for revenge on account of some real, or fancied wrong. It is also hard to imagine such a man, who is on terms of apparent friendship and another man, having no cause for complaint on any account, sharing his confidences, participating in his plans, understanding his secrets and movements, and at the same time conspiring and confederating with this other man's rivals and competitors to bring him into disrepute and discredit. There are many Negroes who have been in federal positions of Presidential grade who, when out of office have gone to work, earned a decent livelihood for themselves and for those dependent upon them, and have lived decent and model lives, but, alas! there is always the glaring exceptions whose baneful example is a reproach to the human species and to the class of which he is a member. But, verily, traitors shall have their reward. This is a short review of the general situation. It belooves the race to consider its place in the estimation of mankind, as determined by the conduct of those who by merely a turn of the wheel of fortune find themselves in the public gaze. JAMES A. COBB, ESQ: The Bee, as well as the ninety thousand colored citizens in this city, are proud to know that James A. Cobb, Esq., assistant United States attorney, is held in such high esteem by Mr. Wilson, United States attorney, Mr. Cobb, although a colored American, for the first time in the office of United States attorney is treated like an American citizen by his chief, who is a high cultured Democrat. Mr. Wilson is not a man to stoop to small things. He recognizes merit no matter in whom it may be found. Mr. Cobb's ability is recognized and his work is commended in the highest terms by his chief. Some few of his colored friends are of the opinion that Mr. Cobb hasn't much to do. If you would only take a peep into his office occasionally and ask him to show you his work, you will readily be convinced that he merits praise and Mr. Wilson deserves the greatest commendation for the recognition that he has given and does give a competent official. Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen an excerpt from the New York Globe which will show the kind of work which comes under his direct supervision and prosecution. JUDGE LURTON. The death of Associate Justice Lurton leaves a vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. The only thing we remember distinctly about the late justice's judicial career in the Supreme Court is that he joined with Mr. Justice Holmes in an opinion which dissented from the majority opinion of the court written by Mr. Justice Hughes, which held that certain Alabama contract labor laws were unconstitutional because under them involuntary servitude or peonage was practiced. It is the duty of every Negro lawyer, journalist, and intelligent man of affairs, to look carefully into the record of every name proposed for nomination to this vacancy, with special reference to his views on race segregation, peonage, "jim crow" cars, and the enforcement of the war amendments. Now is the time to be watchful as never before. The Negro newspapers can show their usefulness by being vigilant at this time. Keep tab on them! EDITOR SLAUGHTER. The consensus of opinion throughout the country is that Henry P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows Journal, will be the next Grand Master of the order. The election of Editor Slaughter will eliminate forever, politics and the politicians in the order. It will restore the order to its normal condition and forever get rid of the grafters. Above everything, the so-called supreme court should be abolished. It is the greatest graft proposition in the order. HOME RULE CLUB The so-called Home Rule Club doesn't represent the people in this city. The population of this city consists of about three hundred and fifty thousand, ninety are colored citizens and tax payers. Certainly the Home Rule Club disclaims its identity with this number of citizens at least. The club consists of a few disgruntled Democrats and Republicans, mostly females who are never satisfied under the most favorable circumstances. President Wilson could not have appointed more competent Commissioners than Mr. Newman and Mr. Siddons. Since the Home Rule Club doesn't represent anybody suppose it take a rest. HOLD OVER REPUBLICANS. There are hold over Republicans in office who have the power to control are giving the administration trouble. A great many reductions and discharges of colored employees are due to a great extent to many of these prejudiced hold over Republicans. Mr. President, put these rascals out and protect the Negro. DR. CHHLDS. The Bee would suggest to Dr. Childs not to misrepresent school conditions to people. A hint to the wise is sufficient. If Dr. Childs wishes to fall with Saunders it is up to him. COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. The President is the person who passes on the qualifications of an appointee and not a jury. Mr. Newman will remain where he is. JUDGE GOULD. Now, if Judge Ashley M. Gould becomes a candidate for Congress he will win. Every loyal Republican will vote for him. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I dropped in Xanders Monday night on my way home from office to get some medicine. For more than twelve years our family has just naturally been partial to Xander's prescriptions. He gave me just one little taste of a new prescription he recently put up, called "Twenty-five-year-old-in-the-wood." The flavor was so fine. I got a half-bottle bottle of it. Along about 9 o'clock, when I was home, I got to thinking about that new preparation, and just went and took about a small glass full of it. It hit the spot, and it hit my top piece, usually referred to as head in the text books on physiology. I just snoozed off, while sitting on my front steps, and of all the dream-hallucinations that ever hit a carrot-complexioned irresolute I sure was the victim, and I just dreamed, and dreamed, and dreamed, and I'm just going to give a catalogue list of my dreams that that Xander prescription produced: I dreamed that: Tom Jones and Armond Scott had formed a law partnership. R. W. Thompson was working for William Calvin. The Bee and Sun had merged under the name of Beehave-Sun. District Attorney Wilson had de- Rev. C. L. Moore had been appointed member of the white wing force as reward for his requesting no Negro be appointed as Recorder of Deeds. Negro barber shops were giving 10 cents worth of service for a dime. M. C. Maxfield and Rev. W. Bishop Johnson were holding joint prayer meetings. Bruce Evans was organizing a mutual admiration society composed of himself, Horner, Rosco Bruce and Newman. Link Johnson had the unanimous endorsement of all Odd Fellow delegates for grandmaster. Harmony in the schools was so thick you could cut it. with a knife. Armond Scott and P. W. Frisby were out walking. Everybody was loving everybody else, and Negroes in Washington were singing "It's Good to Be Together." Then just about the time I was reveling in a dream that Bill Houston and Armond Scott had joined the Universal Peace Society, my wife called me and said: "Say, honey, you better come in and go to bed, 'cause it's 1 o'clock." Then I woke up and found it was all a dream, and said to my better half, "Why didn't you let me dream on?" Next day I went down to Christ Xanders and told him I'd take all that new preparation he had, 'cause I wanted to get enough that would just leave me in one long dream about peace. It must have been a dream, because Finley Wilson had decided to nominate Armond Scott for exalted ruler of the Elks. Speaking about dreams, one sees many things when the brain becomes intoxicated with Xander's favorite prescription. Finley Wilson must have had a dream when he gave out that dope to his friend. That was some dream. It reminds me of one of Link Johnson's dreams of 1910, when he was elected grand master of Odd Fellows. The latest and most sensational dreams will turn out to be real in Boston, Mass., next September, when a District man will be elected grand master of the Odd Fellows. The editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal will turn a trick in Boston, and don't you forget it. That will be some fight and there will not be a split in the Odd Fellows, either. The District boys will go in force and if I have prognosticated right, the delegates will be completely slaughtered. Manager Houston, who is conducting the campaign for Link Johnson, will not be upon the floor of the next B. M. C. Morris will swing the gavel and he knows how to swing it, too, you bet. Morris will make some one lose his head and it may roll from Boston to Atlanta, Ga. Heard a story the other day of a dapper fellow who called on his best girl, taking along a couple of cold bottles and some deviled crabs. When he got there he rang the bell. The woman of the house answered. He inquired if Miss So-and-So was in, "Just stepped out, but will be back in a minute," was the reply. The dapper fellow then sat down his cold bottles and crabs in the vestibule and went out on the sidewalk to await the return of his best girl. He thought he noticed a couple of lady killers, high professional gentlemen, sitting in the next room, but thought nothing. Presently, while waiting on the sidewalk for the return of his best girl, he thought he heard laughing and talking and thought he recognized the voice of his best girl. Stepping back to the door and opening it without ringing, he entered, and to his dismav saw his best girl and these two high professional gents making the contents of the cold bottles and those crabs disappear down their throats. At this instant there was thunder and lightning and a drop curtain. Never again for him. THE SUN EDITOR. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler's Denial—Was It a Conspiracy? Mr. Ralph W. Tyler writes and informs The Bee that the editor of the Sun, told a falsehood; that he has nothing to do with the Sun editor; that the charge the editor of the Sun made against him is false. Is it a conspiracy? Now it is up to the Sun and Mr. Tyler to settle it. Mrs. Louise Hawkins, of 1437 S Street Northwest, and the secretary of the Epworth League of Ashbury M. E. Church, arrived in this city from Mitchellsville, Md., where they spent a week visiting relatives and friends. Mr. E. W.

Immediately after the ceremony they left for Pittsburgh. Pa., where they will reside until late fall, after which time they will return to their home in Arlington, Va. Mrs. Helen Davis, who has been ill in bed for some time, is improving Horse and Mule Culture. Horse and Mule Culture. Tuskegee Institute, Ma., July 11: Time was when it was said that every colored man could train a horse and charm a mule; but the demand for good horses and better mules throughout the country has created a demand for a scientific and not a general knowledge of livestock. The advent of the horseless vehicle, instead of decreasing the demand for horses' and mules, has increased the demand, and the supply seems unable to keep up. All this is explained in the widening of farm interests in every section of the country, particularly in the South. The mule markets of Missouri report that there was never more than now a bigger call on them for good animals, and the horse markets in both the East and West are searching every section for good horses. The big trading stalls in Memphis in their last bulletin report that prices for good mules and horses are 20 per cent higher than last year, and that well-bred animals find an easier market than at any time since 1892. Instead of going down, it is reported that the calling price of mules and horses has steadily gone up since the automobile industry began. Tuskegee Institute has long recognized this increasing demand for good animals and has sought to raise its Department of Mule and Horse Breeding and the case of such animals to the highest state of efficiency. This division of the school's Agricultural Department has a corps of competent instructors who know how to breed and care for such animals to maturity. There are in the department at present 150 head of horses and mules and a number of fine specimens of horse and mule colts which have been bred on the school grounds. There is a Veterinary Department in charge of a graduate veterinarian, where horses and mules are studied from hoof to mane, and where a thorough knowledge of diseases and treatment of animals is given to a large number of young men each year. Ovation for Miss Burroughs at Pittsburgh, Pa., on July 13. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D.

The Sun is worth a neat sum of money, and as Mr. Wilson and Dr. Coleman know a good thing when they have it, they will not be moved to part with their property for a "song." In the event Mr. Tyler acquires The Sun, its policy may be radically changed, both as to politics and its attitude on school and other burning local issues.

BOMB MAY END OUTRAGES INTENDED FOR ROGKEFELLER Detectives Sure That Dynamite Would Have Been "Planted" by Reckless Anarchists—Story of Propaganda Reads Like a Dime Novel—Many Girls Aid "the Cause." New York. Officials here believe that the premature explosion of a bomb in the hands of members of the Industrial Workers of the World killed four of the most dangerous agitators. Little trouble is now looked for. The tragedy is expected to end the outbursts, although members do not healtate to assert that one or two deaths cannot put an end to "the cause." The explosion follied a plot, the police say, which may have caused great loss of life and damage to property. Efforts to prove that the bomb was being manufactured for use in blowing up some of the Rockefeller property have been fruitless, but detectives say there is little doubt that it was to be put to this use. Surviving agitators, however, assert that the bomb was sent to them by outside parties and are seeking to find the perpetrators of what they call a crime. Damage which might possibly have occurred had the bomb been "planted" is attested by the fact that the building in which the police say it was being manufactured was totally demolished. Three floors were blown apart ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. ALEXANDER BERKMAN. and only the outside walls left standing. The death toll would have been enormous and it exploded in a crowd. The story of the I. W. W. propaganda reads like a dime novel. These men and women, mostly followers of Alexander Berkman, one of the most noted anarchists in the country, one who has served a prison term for an attempt on the life of Henry C. Frick and withal a brilliant writer and scholar, say they will not rest until they receive just recognition. First they began by invading churches of New York city, demanding something to eat and a place to sleep. These raids were stopped when about 100 men and boys were arrested, their leader given a long prison term and others serving from one to two months in jail. Following this, members of the I. W. W. began what they called a protest against the murder of miners in the recent coal mine war in Colorado, in which many lives were lost. Led by Upton Sinclair, I. W. W. supporters marched up and down in front of the office of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., wearing crape bands on their arms. This continued for some time, and Mr. Rockefeller went to his home at Tarrytown, N. Y. He was followed by the agitators, and a riot occurred there when the town authorities refused to allow the visitors to make inflammatory threats against life and property. About a dozen of the ringleaders were arrested in Tarrytown. Among these was Alexander Berkman, founder of a school of anarchy and admitted leader of the outbreaks. It is said that Berkman furnishes the brains for the agitators. His school is run regularly, and the attendance is said to be large. Students are taught to protest against present industrial conditions. One of the peculiar features is the number of girls and young women who become interested in the movement. These are considered by the police the most dangerous of the agitators. WHAT BLIND BARTIMAEUS SAW. Mark, 10:46-52, July 19. "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the care of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an heart, and the tongue of the dumb sing."—Iosiah 55.5, 6. It was the Passover season, and many were journeying toward Jerusalem. Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, sat by the wayside. Hearing an unusual commotion, he inquired the cause. The answer was that Jesus had just passed by. Bartimaeus had heard that Jesus was the reputed Messiah who, according to Scripture, would eventually bless the whole world and remove sin, slickness, sorrow and pain. He had heard that already Jesus was healing the sick, casting out devils and opening blind eyes. His faith and hope flamed up, and he shouted, "Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy upon me!" Be quiet! Do not interrupt the Blind Bartimacus. great Teacher; He is talking to others, said the passersby. But Bartimaeus shouted louder than before, "Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus heard the voice, and bade the blind man come to Him. Helped by others, Bartimaeus finally found himself in Jesus' presence. The Master asked, "What wilt thou that I should do to thee?" Promptly came the answer, "Lord, that I might receive my sight." Jesus replied, "Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole." Immediately he received sight, and followed in the concourse, praising the Divine power and acknowledging Jesus as the Messiah. "Jesus, Thou Son of David." "Jesus, Thou Son of David." The blind man's words had a special significance to the Jews of his day which is lost so far as the multitudes of today are concerned. The Jews knew that Messiah as the great High Priest was prefigured by Aaron, and as the great Law-giver was typified by Moses, and as the great King was represented by Solomon. The uniting of all these lines of prophecy in Jesus is pictured in Melchizedek, who was a priest upon his throne—he had a double office. On the basis of the prophete statement in Psalm 110:4, St. Paul shows the Divine foreintention in respect to Jesus and the character of the Messianic Kingdom. The committee arranging these International Bible Studies evidently had in mind the fact that Jesus' miracles at His First Advent were the merest foreshadows of the greater works which He will accomplish at His Second Advent. In line with this thought they have given us as today's Golden Text Isaiah's prophecy respecting Messiah's Kingdom. This agrees with the general trend of the Apostolic teaching to the effect that Jesus' miracles illustrated the greater work of the Messianic Kingdom. We read, "These miracles did Jesus, and manifested forth His glory"; that is, showed in advance His Kingdom power. Not for a moment are we to suppose that Jesus and His disciples attempted to heal all the sick of Palestine. On the contrary, those healed were such as manifested special faith. Bartimaeus had his eyesight restored because he cried out, because he would not listen to those who sought to turn aside his faith. When we come to understand that Jesus' miracles pictured forth the blessings of His Kingdom, we get the proper thought. All the Blind Eyes Shall Be Opened. Whoever reads the Golden Text and thinks that merely natural blindness will be done away in Messiah's Kingdom sees only a small portion of the glorious work to be accomplished. The blindness of ignorance and superstition with which Satan has afflicted the race is far worse than physical blindness. The Scriptural declaration, "Every eye shall see Him, and they also that pierced Him," has undoubtedly reference to the eyes of understanding. Jesus declared to His disciples, "Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye shall see Me." St John says, "We shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is." By the miraculous change of the First Resurrection the Church will be made spirit belings, and then will see the Master face to face, because spirit belings like Him. But the world will see Him only with the eyes of their understanding, just as believers now see the Father and Jesus—with the eye of faith—just as they see "the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him"—things seen by spiritual perception—1 Corinthians 2:9-10. ```markdown ``` Similarly, during the Millennial Kingdom, all blinded eyes will be opened to see the good Jesus and Bartimoneus. to see the goodness, the greatness, the love, the power, of God. Thus the world will come to know God, being helped to that knowledge through the Measurable Kingdom. All who avail themselves of the privileges then extended may attain that glorious degree of knowledge mentioned by Jesus, "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thon hast sent."

"RAILROAD DAY" ECHOES: Some Results from Dr. Booker T. Washington's Efforts to Secure Better Accommodations for Colored People on Trains and Other Public Conveyances. Reports received in this city indicate that "Railroad Day" observance, suggested and urged by Dr. Booker T. Washington, has not been in vain. It is too soon, however, to make up any definite estimate of the real benefits which colored people of the United States are to receive as a result of the combined protest of the race against the unspeakable, indefensible, and hatred-engendering iniquities of the separate car laws as at present enforced in the Southern States. But it is certain that much future good will result from the movement. Below are set down reports from a few of the cities which observed the day: While there was no general observance of Railroad Day in Washington, nor any committees appointed to wait on the railroads, a few colored ministers of the city preached on the subject of better accommodations for colored passengers. Cadiz, Kv. A committee was appointed to present the complaint of the colored people to the Louisville & Nashville and the Illinois Central Railroads. A special resolution commending the president and officials of the Cadiz Railroad Company for its treatment of colored passengers was also adopted. Louisville, Kv. Representative colored citizens called on the general passenger agents of Louisville and conferred with them relative to better railroad accommodations for colored passengers. The committee was very cordially received and a satisfactory and lengthy conference was held. The agents admitted that the discriminations do exist, but claimed that they are due to public sentiment and consequent legislation. However, the committee was told that some of the discriminations were contrary to the regulations and they were asked to report any violations of the rules so that steps may be taken to right matters. It was promised that the matter of providing meals and sleeping cars for colored passengers would be taken up with the different railroads, in the hope that something can be done to better conditions. The matter of providing sleeping car accommodations seemed to be the difficult one to settle. The committee felt very much encouraged as a result of the conference. Petersburg, Va. A small committee met in the office of the Colored Virginian and signed a protest against present railroad facilities for travel now given colored passengers in the South. Spokane, Wash. The Colored Men's Business League of Spokane addressed a letter to the Trans-Continental Passenger Association of Chicago, urging the body to use its influence to improve the conditions complained of by Dr. Washington. The league took occasion to thank the association for the fact that the conditions complained of by colored passengers in the South do not obtain in the State of Washington. Hattiesburg, Miss. A committee adopted a "Bill of Complaints" and presented it to the superintendents of the Gulf & Ship Island and the Mississippi Central Railroads. They mailed copies to the New Orleans & Northeastern and the New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago Railroads. The committee called on the officials of the first two railroads named, were cordially received, went over the complaints with the officers and were promised that conditions would be changed. Jackson, Miss It is stated in Jackson that, as a result of Railroad Day, Negroes of the State are filing petitions with the Railroad Commission setting forth the contention that existing conditions of travel for colored people in the State are deplorable and protesting against discriminations practiced against their race on railroads. Birmingham Ala. A large mass meeting of colored people met in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church of Birmingham on Sunday, June 7, under the auspices of the Birmingham Civic and Educational League to make protests against the inignities made pos House & Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts., N. W of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit. There is no other house of its kind in the city where the people can be satisfied. This is house hat will satisfy you. sible by the present separate car law of the South. After listening to strong addresses on the subject by a number of prominent colored citizens, letters were addressed to the nine railroads entering Birmingham to the State Railroad Commission and to the United States Interstate Commerce Commission, calling attention to the many discriminations which are made against Negroes on public carriers, and asking for some remedy for the evils complained of. New Orleans, La. The most satisfactory reports thus far seen, however, have come from New Orleans, where the colored people, Including their wide-awake chairman, Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, met in the Central Congregational Church and issued an appeal to the public and the railroads urging better accommodations for colored passengers. The Times-Picayune (white) devoted considerable space to a report of the meeting, and it showed that committees were appointed to consult the representatives of the twelve railroads entering New Orleans. The opening words of the appeal, according to the Times-Picayune were: "It is a matter of no small significance that the Negroes of the country under the leadership of the true and tried apostle of peace, Booker T. Washington, are gathered together today in their home towns and cities to invite national and local consideration of the public humiliation and injustice forced upon the race by the prevailing methods of operating the separate car laws." Dr. Jones' modest editorial in his paper does not indicate the part which he took in working for the success of Railroad Day, but 'it shows what was done. He said: "What was interesting and encouraging as we proceeded with the movement was that the railroad people showed every willingness to give a respectful and sympathetic hearing to our complaints. New Orleans is a railroad center. There was not one of the higher officials of the large trunk lines entering New Orleans, but that accepted suggestions and appointed a time when he would hear a committee present the complaints of our people. This in itself was significant. There were those who felt that this might be denied. But at once the replies that came from the general offices were courteous, respectful and cordial and in every case the committee was received with all courtesies that could be expected and the complaints were heard and promises were definitely made to correct the abuses. Two things were apparent: The high railroad officials had not had their attention called to the situation as it really is; they did not know of the many indignities that we suffer and inconveniences that are heaped upon us by the train crew and others responsible for the immediate operation of the train. Again, they did not know but that we were satisfied with the conditions and as soon as the matter was brought to their attention in a straightforward, business-like way, the promise was given that the evils would be corrected. * * * * It now seems very clear that this program could have been put through in every city in the South with gratifying results." What the editorial does not state, but which was true, nevertheless, was that Dr. Jones and his committee called on representatives of the Pullman Car Company and pressed their cause with so much dignity and zeal that the division superintendent requested that they send him a letter to be forwarded with one of his own to Chicago urg- 4.

PASTOR RUSSELL July 12. — The Photo-Drama of Creation is now being produced daily in more than eighty cities, both here and abroad. From all sides come words of commendation. The Bible is being opened up to popular understanding as never before. Pastor Russell's text today was, "See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh * * from Heaven."—Hebrews 12:25 The Pastor introduced his discourse with a comment upon the opening verses of the Epistle to the Hebrews. There the Apostle is contrasting the Message which God sent through the Lord Jesus Christ with those messages sent previously through His servants—Moses and the Prophets of Israel. The Apostle elsewhere tells us that God speaks peace unto us through His Son. This statement suggests that previously there had been war. Away back in the days of Eden, when Father Adam and Mother Eve were on trial. Mother Eve was misled by Satan's suggestion and disobeyed God's command. Then Father Adam, leaning to his own understanding, sinned wilfully, that he might have fellowship with his wife—rather than with God. Thus the entire race were brought into rebellion against the Creator and were condemned to death in Adam. Then the Pastor went on to trace the history of the rebellious race of man. Cut off from fellowship with God, falling deeper and deeper into sin, degradation and death conditions, none were fit to be called children of God. About twenty-five centuries after the fall, the Almighty gave the Israelites opportunity to come into harmony with Him. There He spoke to them especially, through Moses and the Law Covenant, directing that whoever would hear Moses and obey might come closer to their Creator. So we read, "They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them." God had not spoken to mankind in general; only to the little nation of Israel had He given a Message. To them He had not spoken in any other way than through the Law and the Prophets. The Apostle tells us that those who disobeyed Moses' Law died without mercy. Moses was God's mouthpiece; and therefore whoever disobeyed him came under the penalty of death. The Apostle's argument, the Pastor declared, is this: Now, brethren, review the history of Israel, and see how from time to time they neglected the messages which God sent them at the mouth of angels and of Moses, and note how disasters came on them because of that negligence. If, then, there was such a penalty inflicted for negligence respecting the words of Moses, what should be the result of refusing to hear Him who speaks from Heaven itself? If those who rejected Moses' Law died without mercy, how much severer punishment should they receive who would count the blood of the Covenant wherewith they were sanctified a common thing, and who would do despite to God's spirit of favor? Surely we may expect that there would be nothing further for those who reject God's arrangement for man's salvation! Three Classes In the Church. Three Classes in the Church. The Pastor next showed that the consecrated people of God will finally be found in one of three classes. The Little Flock, to whom our Lord declared it is the Father's good pleasure to give the Kingdom, is a limited number—so far as we can judge probably 144,000. Then comes the Great Company, "whose number no man knows"—God not having revealed it—a class unworthy of a place in the Little Flock, but yet loyal in heart to God and the principles of righteousness. Last of all, is the class that go into the Second Death, the class that do despite to the Covenant of Grace. Formerly the Pastor was inclined to think that this class would be very small, but of late he realizes that according to the experiences of the typical people the number will be much larger than he once had thought; for many Israelites fell in the wilderness on account of having rejected the testimony of the Lord, and their death was typical. No one is on trial for life, the Pastor declared, except those who have gotten free from the sentence of Adamic death. No one has a standing with God except those who have turned from sin and have presented their bodies in full consecration to Him. Those who have taken these steps have been accepted by the Lord Jesus, in harmony with the Father's great Plan. Immediately after our Lord has accepted them, He counts them as His flesh; and then the Father also accepts that flesh; for, as the Scriptures point out, the flesh of Christ has been in offering throughout the Gospel Age. Jesus first offered His own flesh. When He had finished that work, He appeared in the presence of God and made satisfaction for the sins of the Church, beginning with the Apostles. Then the Father indicated His acceptance of their sacrifices by giving them the Holy Spirit. Throughout the Gospel Age, the Pastor continued, all believers have received the Holy Spirit just as soon as they have been accepted of the Father, through the great Advocate. All through the Age the members of the Body of Christ have been coming to Him; and the flesh of the Church, the consecrated ones, has been counted as the flesh of Jesus. This flesh has been suffering for nearly nineteen hundred years—Christ suffering in the flesh. Thus we see the fulfillment of the Scripture which declares that the Church is filling up that which remains of the afflictions of Christ. "If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him." And "the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed" in the Church which is the Body of Christ. The Prophets of old, says St. Peter, spoke of the sufferings of The Christ and of the glory that shall follow. All who share the sufferings will also share the coming blessings—glory, honor and immortality. The Three Bodies of Christ Then the Pastor pointed out that those who are received of the Lord are in spirit all one as New Creatures. There is one Body of Christ in the flesh of the Church. Then there is the other Body of Christ, the New Creature Body, composed of the new natures of all who are begotten of the Holy Spirit as New Creatures; and these New Creatures inhabit this flesh of Christ. Here are two Bodies of Christ then—the Body of Christ in the flesh, and the Body of Christ spiritually, which is dwelling in these earthly tabernacles and seeking to bring them to the sacrificial point day by day in everything. He also showed that the final Body of Christ beyond the veil will be composed of the "more than conquerors" only—Jesus, the Captain, and all who voluntarily lay down their lives in following His example. Thus there are three Bodies of Christ. The final one is taken out of the other two. Those who are left constitute the Great Company and those who go into the Second Death. But those who constitute these Bodies are the only ones with whom God is dealing—the only ones whom He has yet received. And even these were not received until they had come to the full point of concession and were begotten of the Holy Spirit as New Creatures. Therefore it is the New Creature that is on trial, not the flesh. Throughout the entire Gospel Age, only the New Creatures in Christ have been on trial for life or death eternal. Who May Reject Christ. Who May Reject Christ. The Pastor then explained that no one can reject Christ in the full sense of the word and go into the Second Death unless he had fully come into Christ and had become His discipline. While many have heard of Christ and have been drawn toward Him, yet until they offer themselves to God in consecration and receive the begetting of the Holy Spirit, they do not really hear Him who speaks from Heaven. Those who are begotten of the Holy Spirit get a new understanding, a new hearing, new ears as it were, and new eyes. As New Creatures they see, hear and understand differently from what they formerly did. As St. Paul says, "The natural men receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." No one can discern spiritual things until he has been be gotten of the Holy Spirit. But there is such a thing as rejecting Christ after one has heard about Him. One may turn his back upon the world, and turn his face toward God and start in the right direction. Every step of the way he will receive a little blessing. But if, when he has progressed to the place where he sees consecration clearly, he should turn back, it is a question whether his former progress in the right direction has not done him harm. The Pastor illustrated this point by referring to the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. If one going toward the Tabernacle had entered the Court, had recognized the sacrifice of atonement upon the Brazen Altar, had progressed to the Laver, representing the purification of the flesh, and then had halted, he could not have seen the beauties of the Tabernacle. Even if he had come up to the very door of the Tabernacle, if he should then stop, all his previous progress would count for nothing. So, if one should seek to put away the filth of the flesh—to live as moral life as possible, to become cleaner and cleaner in his daily conduct—unless he present himself in consecration to God, his morality is of no avail in the matter of bringing him into covenant-relationship with God. Only by faith in the blood of Christ can he approach the Mercy Seat. "There is none other name given under heaven amongst men whereby we must be saved." Any one who gets a gilpimp into the future—when the Millennial Reign of Christ and His Church shall have begun—and who hears of the goodness of God, but is not melted by his own imperfections and his need of a Savior, will, the Pastor believes, be much disadvantaged. Whoever hears the voice of God speaking peace through the Lord Jesus Christ should press on to know the Lord. If even a little glimpse of the coming Restitution, when the whole earth will become like the Garden of Eden and when all men will have the privilege of coming to perfection, does not appeal to one, that one is not in a very favorable condition of mind. Whoever does not love the God who has made so loving a provision for mankind is not in a favorable condition for further knowledge. The Pastor clearly pointed out that those who have never heard of the goodness of God have very little responsibility in proportion to those who do hear. The heathen millions who have not heard of God could not present their bodies in sacrifice. Our Lord declared that those who knew not would be beaten with few stripes in comparison with those who did know. Whoever therefore has heard, and who knows the will of God and the difference between right and wrong has a responsibility, and will receive stripes for disobedience, even if he does not now come into a full test or trial for life eternal. "The Cup of Salvation." "The Cup of Salvation" The proper attitude of heart, the Pastor declared, is that of appreciation of God's mercies. As the Psalmist has said, "What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord." Whoever hears of God's loving provision for the salvation of mankind should feel like removing from his heart everything that would hinder the love of God from flowing in freely and bringing forth the fruitage of love, devotion and appreciation. To those who especially love God and desire to know His will He has offered a cup, which represents His providences for that special class. Jesus Himself drank that cup, and set us an example. The Pastor then discussed the subject of consecration, and showed how reasonable it is for one who has come to a knowledge of the goodness of God to offer himself to the Lord. He declared that whoever carefully considered the matter would realize that all one has to offer is far too small. But God says to such, I know that you have practically nothing to give; but you must give all that you have—be it much or little. In comparison with what Jesus gave, you have nothing; for what you have is imperfect and sinful, whereas His offering was holy and undefiled. But He will impute His merit to your offering, and thus make it acceptable. In the typical Tabernacle and its sacrifices, the Pastor declared, this matter of consecration is represented by the offering of the two goats on the Day of Atonement. The goat represents the flesh of the one offering himself in consecration. Consecration is the tying of the goat at the door of the antitypical Tabernacle. Then the High Priest kills the antitypical Lord's goat. Henceforth the New Creature, begotten of the Holy Spirit at the moment when the sacrifice was accepted, is represented in the Body of the High Priest. Then, as members of the Body of the antitypical High Priest, the consecrated and spirit-begotten ones are privileged to enter the antitypical Tabernacle, the spirit-begotten condition. There they may have fellowship with God as they partake of the antitypical Bread of Presence, and as they walk by the light of the antitypical Golden Candlestick, which gives them light respecting the deep things of the Word of God. The things in the typical Tabernacle were hidden from the sun; they were dark as respects outside light, but they had the interior light. Those in the antitypical Tabernacle condition have also blessed association with the Incense Altar; not that they have anything, perhaps, to do with offering the Incense, for that which was offered by the great High Priest of their Order was sufficient for all the members of His Body and makes them acceptable in the Most Holy. Responsibility to Christ. The Pastor then dwelt on the responsibility resting upon all who have offered themselves as living sacrifices and have been accepted and begotten of the Holy Spirit. These have come under the Headship of Christ. His will is to be their will, His Spirit is to be their spirit. When they were baptized into that one Spirit—when their spirits, their minds, were immersed into that of our Lord and He accepted them as members of His Body, they recognized themselves as under His Headship. This is what produces the oneness of spirit—the sympathetic heart-oneness—of all the members of Christ. As long as the Headship of Christ is recognized, there must of necessity be much harmony among these members. But should any member get out of harmony with the Head, he is proportionately unable to get a blessing himself or to do good to others. The greatest blessing and usefulness comes from co-operation with the Head in whatever work He is doing. In conclusion, the Pastor declared that only in proportion as we are in harmony with our Master, the great Head of the Church, can He use us as His members. The voice of the Lord is being heard throughout the earth today. Therefore, all who hear it should see to it that they do not refuse the Message of the hour. To all those who do refuse—as most of them are doing and will do—the tribulation that will come will be all the more severe—"a Time of Trouble such as never was since there was a nation," "no, nor ever shall be" hereafter. WHEN IT WAS HOT IN GEORGIA Geological Survey Reports on State's Climate In Ancient Days. Washington.—That the climate of South Carolina and Georgia was once almost tropical is one of the interesting conclusions announced by experts of the geological survey after an exhaustive study of the flora of those states. This vegetation grew during upper cretaceous and eocene time, or, as geologists say, at least, several million years ago. A study of this form, which has been preserved in fossil form in the rocks, indicates also that shallow seas extended inland over 100 miles from the present seaboard, that there was considerable elevation of the Piedmont area to the west, that the river gradients were high and the streams numerous and more or less torrential in character and that there were swamps along the lower courses of the streams. The report states that the fossil plants indicate there was a mild though not strictly tropical climate without seasonal changes. There was no evidence that frost occurred and that the rainfall was abundant. Indications are, it is said, that in middle ecocene time the climate of Georgia was much warmer than during the upper cretaceous epoch. JUST WON'T BE A MOTORMAN. So Cassin, Engineer of Empire State Express, Quits His Job at Seventy. New York--Dennis J. Cassin, who, although seventy years old, still runs the Empire State express on the New York Central railroad from Croton to Albany and back two out of every three days, said that he would put in his application for retirement at once. Cassin got his first job with the Central in 1861, when the old wood burners were the highest type of engine. He has had the Empire State express for several years, and during that time has not had an accident. He has seen the coal driven locomotive developed, and it is because of the encroachment of the electric engine that he is getting out. He said that he wouldn't give up his throttle to be a "motorman" for $1,000 a week. Several years ago in a contest conducted by a railroad magazine he won a diamond ring as the most popular engine driver in the country. St. Joseph, Mo.—Robert and Joseph Miller, brothers, spoke to each other the other day for the first time in fifteen years. All of this time they have lived in the same house, eaten at the same table, slept in the same room and been partners in the produce farm which they own. They are well to do. Fifteen years ago, when their stock in trade consisted of a rundown little truck garden, they had a falling out over who did the most work, and Joseph vowed that he would never speak to his brother again until Robert spoke first. Pride prevented each from being the first to break over. When they had anything to say to each other they did it through the medium of a third person. "Ask Joe if he is going to town today or whether I shall go," Robert would say to a hired hand, even though Joseph were within a few feet of him. "Tell Bob I am going because there is some private business I want to see about," Joseph would reply through the same medium. During their resting hours and through the long winter evenings the two played cards together, but each sat stolidly smoking a pipe, and neither spoke to the other. With other people about they would talk freely and easily, but never to each other. The silence between them was broken when Robert was buried underneath a slide of cordwood which he was piling up. Joseph rushed up. "Oh, Bob, are you badly hurt?" he asked. Afterward he said that he did not realize that he was breaking his vow. "No, Joe," was the reply, "but this wood is holding me so that I can't get out without help." Then the two men laughed, shook hands and began to converse about getting Robert out of his unpleasant captivity. Jinx Was on His Trail. Minneapolis, Minn.—John Woods of Chicago recently left his home city for Minneapolis, and here is what has happened to him: In Milwaukee he fell off a box car and fractured his right arm. In Lacrosse he had pneumonia. In Golish, Wis. he was "doped" and robbed of $14G. In Minneapolis he was sentenced to five days in the workhouse for vagrancy. "Maybe this will be the end of it," said Woods. "I think some old jinx has been on my trail." Wooden Leg Hides Money. Sherman, Tex.-H. C. Wise, dead in Denver, Colo., with $8,000 in certificates of deposit hidden in one of his artificial legs, was a resident of Sherman. He came here in 1904 from Kansas City, where a brother and sister reside. Steamer Angler Open for Charter for RIVER VIEW The Excursion Boat Angler may now be chartered for excursions.

Points Out Products For Which Large Bums Are Needlessly Expended Every Year—Holds That Extravagance Is Principal Cause of Advance In Prices. New York.—Have the American people become a nation of prodigals and spendthrifts? It has been the custom of many Americans in bewailing the high cost of living to place the blame on the trusts, the tariff or some other agency. Of late, however, there has come into public notice a body known as the American Society For Thrift, which individually and collectively declares that the high cost of living is not so much chargeable to trusts or other agencies as to the prodigal and spendthrift spirit which has seized the people of this country, generally speaking. One of the leaders of the society, is Governor Cruce of Oklahoma. So serious in the opinion of the members of this society has the situation become that a measure is about to be PETER H. GOVERNOR CRUCE OF OKLAHOMA, LEADING PROMOTER OF THRIFT SOCIETY. Introduced in congress, to be known as the Clapp bill, directing President Wilson to invite foreign nations to participate in an international congress of thrift, to be held at San Francisco next year during the Panama-Pacific exposition, for the people of other countries than the United States have also developed a spirit of prodigality. Cicero in earlier days said, "Men know not how great a revenue is frugality." In later times Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, declared that "saving goes before security, happiness and good citizenship." The members of the Society For Thrift believe that these sayings still hold good today. "The plain fact of the matter," said one of the promoters of the movement, "is that extravagance has become almost more than a national habit among us. Self indulgence, the natural child of extravagance, has walked hand in hand with our readiness to spend money, a readiness which has become an obsession with many in their craze to outdo their neighbors. These people crave luxuries which they are well aware are far beyond their means, but which they persist in obtaining because of their personal vanity or a desire to impress others. "And not only has this spirit grown tremendously in late years, but it is fast increasing. We are, a money spending mad people. We accumulate money, and we throw it away. An expert says that we are now spending the tremendous sum of $25,000,000 yearly for chewing gum alone. When one considers the great number of persons who chew gum and notes the amount of advertising resorted to by gum manufacturers this estimate seems not improbable. "For soda water and other noninoxicating drinks our bill in the United States has in a single year amounted to $325,000,000. As far back even as 1905 the craze for spending money was upon us, for in that year we spent in excess of $30,000,000 for automobiles, and this at a time when the automobile industry was still in its infancy. Since then this single item has reached into the hundreds of millions. "In the twelve months of 1905, too, the people of the United States ate candy and confectionery that cost $57,000,000, money enough to build a string of inland waterways up and down the Atlantic seaboard. The value of diamonds, rings, watches, gold chains, necklaces, pendants and similar articles purchased has amounted to more than twice the cost of constructing the Panama canal. "In 1008, before the wave of prohibition had advanced to its present point, the sum of $1,075,828,197 was expended in this country for intoxicating drinks, of which amount $638,170,864 was spent for whisky and other distilled spirits, imported and domestic, while the bill for beer and other malt liquors was $918,023,297. Three years before that date we spent $331,000,000 for cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff in twelve months." WIRELESS MUSIC 200 MILES. Strains From a Gramophone Picked Up by a Ship at Sea. London—Strains from a gramophone playing "The Merry Widow Waltz" and "God Save the King" were heard lately by wireless in the Nelson line steamship Highland Scot during a voyage to Buenos Aires, by the third officer. The boat was passing Vigo at the time, and afterward it was found that the ship from which the wireless came was a private yacht 200 miles away. Mr. Marconi, commenting on this report, said: "They were probably experimenting with a gramophone and a wireless telephone transmitter aboard the private yacht. Tunes are transmitted and caught up in this way. I never heard of its being done over such a long distance, but it is quite possible. Gramophone tunes have been sent by wireless telephony from Marconi House to my house at Fawley, near Southampton." WOMAN CANS GARDEN TRUCK. She Makes a Good Profit and the Results Are Sure. Dodge City, Kan.-Two thousand quarts of beets and 600 quarts of picalllil have been sold by Mrs. Will Robins to the Dodge City Wholesale Grocery company during the past few weeks-byproducts of the Robins truck farm, south of the river. Mrs. Robins puts up these products in plint glass jars attractively labeled with words something as follows: "Fancy homemade picalllil. No preservatives used. No factory made product. Put up by Mrs. Will Robins, Cimarron, Kan." Mrs. Robins also had a contract with railroad eating houses to furnish them with onions during the season just past. Her garden products are as valuable as the wheat crop on the average farm, and more certain. WHALERS MAKE RICH HAUL Off Coast of Lower California Get Fif- Atari Therapeutics of Oil teen Thousand Barrels of Oil. San Diego, Cal.-The whaling fleet, comprising the tender Capella I. and whalers Juarez, Morelos and Hidalgo, has arrived here from Magdalena bay after an eight months' successful season off the lower California coast. According to Captain Edgebretzon of the Capella I. the Hidalgo captured 210 whales, the Morelos 219 and the Juarez 151. All of the mammals were taken within twelve miles of Magdalena bay and were principally of the humpback and blue species. The Capella I. entered port with 15,000 barrels of oil, valued at $225,000. The tender will steam to Christiana, Norway, by way of the Panama canal, to discharge, leaving the whalers to continue the trade. Clerks In Pension Office Sign 820,000 Papers Each Year. Washington.—J. S. Jones and William Adreon each year sign in the neighborhood of 820,200 checks, of an aggregate face value of $180,000,000. Jones and Adreon are clerks in the pension office, and the checks are drawn to the order of pensioners. Technically this money is disbursed over the signature of Guy O. Taylor, the disbursing clerk of the bureau. In fact, however, it goes out over the signature of J. S. Jones and William Adreon. A series of machines designed especially for it fills out the blank checks with the name of the pensioner, the amount due him or her and the name of Guy O. Taylor, printed. But the checks cannot be cashed until they are countersigned with an actual signature in ink. This is where Jones and Adreon come in. But even two men could not do this, and so machines are again utilized—signagraphs, as they are called. Each man goes through the motion of signing his name, using a wooden pen-like arrangement on which there is really no point and no ink. This, however, causes to move ten real fountain pens, which actually inscribe the name on ten checks placed beneath. At each machine an assistant feeds in the blocks of checks, ten to a block. Instead of actually signing 820,200 separate checks the two men together make only 82,020 signatures—41,010 each. TREES CAUSE FRATRICIDE. Forty Year Quarrel of Brothers Ends Fatally. North Reading, Mass.—A forty year quarrel over timberland came to a climax here when Charles Samuel Harris, a farmer, was shot and instantly killed by his brother, James, who gave himself up to the police. He said his brother had attacked him with an ax during an argument about cutting the timber on their land and that he shot in self defense. According to the statement of James Harris to the police, the brothers, though they had lived together forty years, always had been at odds over the disposition of the timber. Charles went to the lot and felled several small trees. When he returned to the house James met him in the kitchen, and the 'ancient quarrel was renewed. LEGAL NOTICES. R. R. Horner, Attorney.
