Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 10 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1914 THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 124 Years Old Today—Dr. William Tindall, Secretary of Local Board, Gives Interesting Facts. (Evening Star.) Today marks the 124th anniversary of the establishment of the District of Columbia as the seat of government of the United States. July 16, 1790, was the date on which the act authorizing acceptance of territory offered by Maryland and Virginia as a site for the nation's capital was approved. First official mention of the District by name, according to Dr. William Tindall, secretary to the Commissioners, who is an authority on historical epochs in the affairs of the municipality, is in a letter of the original Commissioners, Thomas Johnson, David Stuart and Daniel Carroll, dated September 9, 1791. First Mention of Name. In this they state: "We have agreed that the federal district shall be called the Territory of Columbia." Dr. Tindall says that the first mention of the name, District of Columbia, is in the title, but not in the body of an act authorizing a loan for use of the city of Washington, approved May 6, 1796. He points out that the city entered upon a period of development in 1871, under the administration of Governor Henry D. Cooke and Alexander R. Shepherd, vice president of the Board of Public Works. Shepherd became Governor in 1873. The present form of government, known as the "half-and-half" plan, was-approved July 1, 1878. Students in a Pianoforte Recital. On Tuesday evening of last week, July 14, every seat in the church and Sunday School room of the Lincoln Temple Church was filled by a select audience invited to hear the pupils of Herndon Belse Jones in a pianoforte recital. The audience was held spell-bound for one hour and forty-five minutes by well trained performers. All, with the exception of two, were between the ages of 10 and 15 years. After the concert some present did not fail to remark that never before had they heard young children play showing such technical development, such touch, execution, and with such expression. The recital opened with an eighth-hand selection, "On Parade," well played by Misses Margaret Clark, Geraldine Marshall, Clementine Jones and Master Norris Alphonzo Harris. Following were solos by Misses Helen Rebecca Henderson, Clementine Jones, Margaret Clark, and Master Norris Alphonzo Harris. Part 1 ended with an unique number, a six-hand selection, played with care and exactness by Misses Clementine Jones, Helen Rebecca Henderson and Fairfax Helen Green. If one had been a listener and not an eye witness, it would have been thought that not one child appeared in part 2 because of the style, difficulty of the music, and efficiency of the performers. Part 2 began with Moszkowski's "Grand Valse Brilliante" in a flat, an eight-hand selection played in a very effective, artistic manner by Misses Edna Irene Scott, Fairfax Helen Greene, Mr. Benjamin F. Frye and Master Clifton Perry Hairston. Next solos by famous masters of music were played in a professional, artistic, style by Misses Edna Josephine Wayman. Fairfax Helen Greene, Edna Irene Scott, Flosse Louise Thompson and Master Clifton Perry Hairston. These were the more advanced students. Each of these performers did not fail to impress the audience by some prevailing, distinguishing characteristic—Edna Josephine Wayman by being closely attentive to every sound—she produced on the instrument; Fairfax Helen Greene by her touch and soul expression; Edna Irene Scott by her ease, calm, poise and dignified style; Miss Flosse Louise Thompson by her touch and every sign of an advanced student. Clifton Perry Hairston was applauded before he touched the piano. His attitude toward the piano was that of an old master of music. The closing number, "Polacca Brillante," in eight hands, was certainly the climax of the entertainment. The brilliant manner in which the leaders on the two pianos. Miss Edna Irene Scott and Master Clifton Perry Hairston, dashed forward, with excellent execution and exactness, being supported by Misses Fredricka Davis Early and Edna Josephine Wayman, had a hypnotizing effect upon the audience and reflected great credit upon the teacher. That it was thoroughly entertaining was shown by a bond, lengthy applause. Not only was the music of the evening of a high class, but everything else was in harmony. Those on the program were well dressed as well as the audience. The men who took tickets were in full dress; the ushers were High School cadets, wearing their military uniform and white gloves. One dozen large palms on elevated stands behind and to the sides of the grand and upright piano presented a pleasing appearance. Many on the program received flowers, as well as Mr. Jones, who received a very large bouquet of beautiful red roses from his pupils. HALL'S HILL, VA. This portion of the country is becoming the centre of attraction for many reasons; first, it is so elevated as to overlook the great nation's capital, and so surrounded by car lines and modern improved roads that it can be easily reached, having rural postal delivery every day and upon the parcel of ground that was used for headquarters for and by General Porter about the close of the Civil War, have been erected beautiful homes and owned by our own people, such as Mr. J. T. Bryant, T. W. Hyson, D. B. Anderson, O. E. Harrison, Clinton Thomas, D. W. Ferguson, J. J. Carpenter, Vm. Rhubottom and many other business men and employees of departments in the District. Sunday was an ideal day and the cool breezes were highly enjoyed after the extreme heat of the past week. It was Rally Day for Calloway M. E. Church. Sunday School, as usual, at 10 a. m., with an increase of attendance. Rev. L. C. Carter, of Washington, who preached at 11 o'clock, was here in time for Sunday School and expressed great pleasure in the services. Mr. W. T. Saders was also present and joined in the lessons. The morning services were well attended. The text was "What think ye of Christ?" The subject was well prepared and delivered with great earnestness and well applied. We were highly entertained by Rev. W. S. Jackson, of Simpson, Memorial Church, at 3 o'clock, and preached a wonderful sermon from the text, "The lion doth lack and suffer hunger." Rev C. E. Quecene, pastor in charge, was present and occupied the pulpit at night, and in his general, deliberate and intelligent manner distributed the bread of life. Those present were left to wonder what more can be said. Collection, $75. The rally continues to the first Sunday in August. The Ministers' Alliance was invited here for their annual outing Monday by the Ladies' Aid Society (Lottie Chinn, president) and came in a body and were served dinner on the church lawn. Menu: Ham, string beans, potatoes, beets, chicken, salad, ice tea, ice cream, cake. The day was a pleasant one and much enjoyed. Among the ministers present were Rev. T. H. Brooks, president; Rev. W. S. Jackson, secretary; Rev. Garner, treasurer, who is vice president of the Y. M. C. A. of Washington. The program for the day and evening was a great treat. The first speaker introduced was Rev. Dr. Ernest L. Lyons, Ex-Minister to Liberia, who delivered a great lecture from the subject. "What the Negro Has Contributed to the Civilization of the World." To say the least, the discourse was scholarly from every point of view and could only be presented by such a man as Dr. Lyons. While being humorous, it was serious and sublime. Thus we begin to see ourselves as never before. Rev. Wiseman was present and introduced Rev. T. B. Livingstone, of South America. Dr. Lyons introduced Rev. Dr. Reid, Rev. Dr. Thompson, ex-district superintendent, now pastor of Mt. Zion, West Washington, and other names in a later issue. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Joy and Mrs. Alice Jones and two children were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hyson. Dr. E. T. Morten has been a day or two on the sick list. We hope he will soon get well. MOUNTAIN VIEW NOTES.

Lumpkins, one of Washington's representative citizens for over eighteen years, passed into eternal rest. She was born in Richmond, Va., and for ten years was a public school teacher in the State. After her marriage to George W. Lumpkins she left for Boston, Mass, where they resided until eighteen years ago, then leaving for Washington, D. C., with their five children. Mrs. Lumpkins was a woman of sterling qualities, loved and esteemed for her goodness in her home and abroad; a woman of untiring efforts, fearless and undaunted, whose unsurviving sense of duty and whose O Bishop Walters Indorses Cosey For decor ro Deeds work for the uplift of suffering humanity has engraven her memory on the hearts of all who knew her. She was not only a member of five organizations, but a leader and past officer in them all. May her example of Christian conduct and her persistent energy hover over us and her children especially, as a constant guide and reminder, directing our footsteps along the straight and narrow path that leads to the Christian's hope and triumph. Remarkable evidence of Mrs. Lumpkins' ability to put aside her own pain and mental suffering to interest herself in the welfare was shown during her long year of agony. Always she was the interested and sympathetic friend, forgetful of self to cheer, comfort and advise others. So that her sick bed was sought by her friends and neighbors as often for personal uplift and sympathy as to extend a consoling word or tender cares to the brave soul battling with the dread enemy of mortality. May her example of Christian conduct and her persistent energy hover over us, and her children especially, as a constant guide and reminder, directing our footsteps along the straight and narrow path that leads to the Christian's hope and triumph. Tuesday, July 14, Mrs. Lucy E. Greene, one of the oldest and one of the most highly respected citizens in this city, at 5:30 p. m., died. Mrs. Greene was the wife of Mr. Richard Greene and mother of Marion T. Payne and Grace P. Harris. The funeral took place from Shiloh Baptist Church Friday, July 17, at 2 o'clock.

The Washington Bee. (From the Chicago Defender.) Saturday, June 27, our esteemed eastern contemporary, edited by W. Calvin Chase, was thirty-four years old, and proudly celebrated the event by issuing a 16-page edition, handsomely illustrated, with cartoons and cuts of prominent Washington citizens, and full of good, live reading matter. Thirty-four years of continuous publication of a race newspaper is an event to be celebrated, but The Bee, with its sensible motto of "Honey for its friends and stings for its enemies" and its fearless and inimitable editor, is in a class of its own. The Chicago Defender cannot claim one-third of the time that The Bee has lived and thrived as its own, but we wish The Bee and its editor many more years of success, and for ourselves the pleasure of publishing each anniversary as it occurs. Negro Business League. Corsidana, Texas, July 18th, 1914. The Texas State Negro Business League held its annual session at Corsicana last week.

Effort is now being made to carry at least two carloads of delegates from Texas to the coming meeting of the league and arrangements are being made for special Pullman car reservations for the Texas delegates who are going to Muskogee for the National meeting to be held there. Maria 'Saunders Gone Away to School Maria Saunders, who was appointed principal of the O Street Vocational School from a clerkship, has entered school in New York City.

One of the Brightest Young Ladies in the Northeast, a Victim to Typhoid Fever—Beautiful Floral Tributes. Miss Emmie J. Kibble, one of the most popular and well known young ladies in the northeast, died at her residence, 721 Thirteenth Street Northeast, last Friday evening, June 17, at 8:30 o'clock p. m., of typhoid fever. Miss Kibble had been ailing for some time, but neither her physician nor friends had any idea that her ailment was serious. She took to her bed the forepart of last week and the development of the fever was so rapid that it was beyond the skill of the best physicians. A consultation was held at the residence by the physicians, who concluded that she was too far gone to be saved. Miss Kibble was employed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for some time, where she was employed at the time of her death. The funeral too place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Calvary P. E.

Chase, Brown, Plummer, McLendon, Jones and The floral, designs were beautiful and numerous. The funeral director was Mr. R. L. Middleton, whose arrangements were most artistic.

Desiring to become a trained nurse, she took up the course at the Freedmen's Hospital, from which she graduated in January, 1914, and successfully passed the D. C. Board of Examiners for Registered Nurses. The deceased was one of those sweet, peaceful, kind and amiable young women, with whom one meets, and of whom there are entirely too few in the social world. Being unusually industrious and intelligent, her dignified manners and bearing, and her unselfish desire to make others happy, she had a host of real warm sincere friends and admirers, who fully appreciated her worth, and who now deeply regret her passing: "No one knew her, but to love her, Or named her, but to praise her." The deceased is survived by her father, Mr. Lawson Meredith, and three half brothers, William, Wellington and Odie Meredith. by her dear friend. ALICE G. MARTIN. Saturday, August 8th At 1:30 P.M.

LYNCHED AND LYNCHERS. The Colored American's Danger Not Sparing Women. To the Editor of The Bee: Despised as they seem to be among the so-called Christians, we believe there is more of the real Christian and brotherly love for the colored race in the hearts of white men who frequent the "whisky sa-loons" than is to be found among those who hold high offices in the church of God. There seems to be an alarming increase in the lynching of the colored citizens of this country. Judge Lynch is on the bench and he spares not even the women and children of the colored race when his thirst for the blood of human souls is at fever heat. Oh, think of a mob of drunken white ruffians dragging a poor colored woman through the streets of Orangeburg, S. C., on Sunday, July 12. And only a short time ago a colored woman was lynched in Oklahoma—that little new-born hell on earth. And, amidst all of this, the church of God (?) stands with heads bowed and sanction the hellish deeds of the mobs by her silence! When we think of the cruel way the colored people are being treated, and think of the many faithful prayers that are being sent up to Jehovah's throne for mercy, without seemingly any reply, it is enough to make weak man ask the question, "Is there a God?" But a voice whispers to us from the peaks of Mount Sinai, saying, "Yes there is a God! There is the same God that heard Daniel in the lion's den; the same God that heard and answered the three children in the fiery furnace," etc. But it seems that the colored people have chosen to worship the god of Baal. We fear we are drifting too far from the God of our old fathers and mothers. There is much power for good in the true church of God. But, again, we are forced to ask the question, where can Fruit-Growing. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 6. A revolution in farm industry everywhere throughout the South is going on through the changing attitude of the farmers not only toward what the professors term diversification in crops, but toward the small farm husbandries. During the last ten years/it has been rediscovered that the soil of the South is rich for fruit growing, and the markets are anxious for Southern fruit, particularly for the Southern peach, the best peach that can be bought. Many fortunes have been built up recently upon fruit growing and progressive farmers in great numbers in all sections are turning to the cultivation of orchards. A few years ago an Alabama farmer went to Texas to try out the land there in cotton and cattle raising. He failed miserably and turned back to Alabama. He bought up some deserted land in central Alabama at $10 an acre, and turned the whole tract into a peach orchard. Now he has 1,100 trees, mostly Mayflowers, employs a dozen helpers, and has the country for a market. In South Mississippi, around Brookhaven and its territory, big orchards are taking the place of plantations. At Tuskegee Institute there are several orchards devoted to fruit growing, and 120 acres of land are given over wholly to this department of the agricultural course. Tuskegee's orchard contains 12,000 peach trees, 140,000 strawberry plants, 3,850 grape vines and 185 fig trees. Shipments qf peaches are being made daily to nearby markets. Tuskegee realizes what the fruit-growing industry will mean ten years from now and offers colored young men and women an opportunity to study it as a business and a science. HALL'S HILL VA. On Thursday, July 9, the Fire Department Association gave an entertainment at Harrison's Park. Mr. T. W. Hyson, presiding officer. Mr. W. T. Soders introduced the speakers. The first speaker was Lawyer John H. Plenton; second, J. Finley Wilson, editor of The Sun, and remarks by Mr. Parks, a business man of this place. A band of music from the city was in attendance. Refreshments were served in abundance. Sunday was a busy day here, as usual, in the churches, it being Communion Day at Holloway M. E. Church. There was preaching at 11 a.m. by the pastor, Rev. Caleb E. Queene, using for his text words found in Gen. 2-7. The subject was handled in such a manner that all present were highly benefited. The communion was served both morning and evening. About 6 o'clock a large crowd gathered at the brook to witness the baptizing by immersion of Mr. Russell Smith by Rev. C. E. Queene, which was successfully done, and he was received in full membership. Rev. H. W. Long preached a very fine sermon, which was well prepared and applied with great zeal and historical knowledge. We hope for a bright future for him. The regular services being concluded, as had been previously planned, a full communion set was presented. A silver service from the membership of the church These beautiful lots will absolutely be sold at auction regardless of price. RAIN or SHINE DONT' FORGET THE DATE one (a true church of God) be found? The church of today has but very little influence for good. We too often take the house of God for a meeting place for "a good time" instead of a meeting place for prayer. And we very much fear that God is letting the Negro paddle his own canoe for a while until he comes back to the path. "Twill be an awful thing to have God turn his back on us. Our deportment in the house of God isn't anything like it should be. Let us call the reader's mind back to our present day communion services. There is but little difference in the holy communion services of today and a modern "smoker" among men. We mean nothing but Christian love toward our ministers of the gospel when we appeal to them, in heaven's name, to give God "one" service in each month without disturbing that service with a lot of jokes and worrying the people to death begging for a big sum of money. The holy communion is a very, very sad thing; and it should always be so regarded. When our blessed Saviour and His disciples met around the sacramental table there were no jokes; no whooping and hollowing for a certain amount of money. But it was a sad time. And the Saviour intended for us to commemorate His death and suffering likewise until His second coming. But the communion services of this day and time are the main ones for "grand rallies" which can't be "fooled with" until a certain amount of money is taken up. We again appeal to all of our pastors to cut out these jokes and collections on Communion Sundays and thereby give that one service to God. We believe God will wonderfully bless the pastor and officers of the church that starts such a step in His namel Better get back to the path of our old fathers and mothers, and, in doing so, we can all sing: "I've wandered far away from God, Now I'm coming home," etc. I.C.CUNNINGHAM. Bermuda Islands. Many visitors spend the whole summer on the islands because, contrary to general impressions, Bermuda is not hot, but delightfully cool. Being semi-tropical, the continuous ocean breezes in summer make it a cool spot, while the proximity of the Gulf Stream modifies the winter temperature. Bermuda is always gay in summer, and swimming, sailing, canoeing, yachting and fine fishing are the chief sports. Nature has endowed these ancient British islands with fine beaches and clear water teeming with 365 species of multicolored fish. The water is so clean and clear that a penny is plainly visible twenty feet below the surface, and sand on the cream-white coraline beeches, so soft and fine that it is like velvet to the bare feet, are distinctive features. The more vigorous sports are golf, tennis, cricket, dancing, etc., and the wonderfully smooth roads, many of them cut out of solid coral rock, are particularly alluring to the person who has not forgotten how to ride a bicycle. The chief glory of Bermuda is its exquisite coloring on land and sea. The islands are always covered with AT 1:30 P.M. JOHN A.

Many native fruits abound in summer, such as the pawpaw, banana, orange, strawberry, etc. Then there are the famous crystal caves and grottos with their impressive stalactites and stalagmites—palaces of calcite, forming subterranean worlds, ages old. Two hundred odd islands, bays, coves and headlands form the archipelago of Bermuda, and viewed from the top of one of the tall and powerful light houses is a sight of much grandeur. Bermuda is also a British army and navy station, officers from which are there to lend zest and color to the outdoor life. There are numerable hotels and boarding houses ranging from the modest to the most palatial, throughout the islands. False gods—from the seven seas—from the frozen north and torrid south and the little known places of the Orient—the authorities of the National Museum has collected a variety of idols which give the devotee an opportunity to worship about anything he wants to worship.

Certain white people in this city are opposed to the well classed colored citizen. There are what you call three classes of white people in this community, to wit: The aristocracy, the unprejudiced class and the poor whites. The aristocratic class of white people know that the colored citizen will not go where he is not wanted, and they know that not even the middle or the poor whites are not permitted to visit them socially if they are not invited. The aristocracy are not at all prejudiced. What The Bee means by artistocracy is a class of citizens who have been well reared and highly educated. The high office holder is not always regarded or placed in the class of aristocrats, because the poor white trash is often found in high positions, which is keenly shown at times, under the present administration. Take the officials under this administration who have been well reared and you will find them to be advocates of equality of citizenship and opposed to segregation and discrimination. It is the poor whites who favor "Jim Crowism" or segregation. Point out the man or woman who favors segregation and The Bee can give you his or her pedigree, which will be from the lower walks of life. It is quite natural for a poor white man or woman who has risen from a department clerk or a laundry woman to arrogate to herself superiority over the refined educated classes of blacks. The cause of so much trouble in this country, and especially among those in the South, eminates from the poor whites. Southern aristocracy is found among the old school democracy. Those who have been associated with the colored Americans from the time prior to reconstruction. While, at this time, the colored man and woman were slaves this line of demarcation was drawn between the blacks and whites of the aristocrats and the whites and blacks of the poor white trash. It is this latter class that controls the South today and are permeating the atmosphere of many of the government departments today. The poor whites are of the lower class, and are as much against white aristocrats as they are against the refined and educated class of blacks. This class is readily recognized when you enter a street car. The moment a poor white man or woman enters a car, he or she would rather stand than he seated by an ordinary, although a reputable colored citizen. The white aristocrat never gives color or condition a thought. The Bee will admit that there are a few colored citizens as well as whites who need to be introduced to a bath tub. Now, if one should violate the first law of health, which is cleanliness, the entire race is to blame. It is not so with the poor white man or woman. The condition of the poor blacks is of such a character that they are not always able to take a bath after having been at work all day, either in the streets or kitchens of the whites. Notwithstanding these drawbacks and impediments, the blacks are rising. Wait and see and cease throwing stumbling blocks in the roads of the blacks in their onward march to progress and elevation. The race is getting tired of political acrobats. The time is at hand when we would like to know just where our so-called leaders stand in politics. COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. The authority assumed by the Citizens' Committee, in taking upon itself the regulation of civic affairs of the District is only another expression of the audacity with which a certain minority purposes to carry out its own will without a sufficient regard, the ascertained will and pleasure of the majority. Correspondence relative to the Newman "eligibility" controversy develops the fact that the committee which has assumed to demand Mr. Newman's retirement from the honorable position to which he was appointed by President Wilson is far from representing the express wishes of the majority of the citizens of the District. Indeed it is claimed, and we think rightly, that instructions to demand instantaneous relinquishment of the office of District Commissioner were dictated by a comparative handful of adults with a liberal sprinkling of minors; and that therefore, it were mere folly to pay any serious attention to their demands. We cannot say that the majority of white citizens are dissatisfied with Mr. Newman's administration or with the manner or legality of his appointment; but we are certain that there has been no adequate attempt to secure consensus of opinion upon any phase of the situation. This we know for certain, that a full third of the citizens were not considered, much less consulted on this subject. Added to this third are thousands and thousands who do not care a whit about the matter. This apparent indifference does not arise from a lack of real interest in the well-being of the District, but because the question most concerning them is as to whether the Commissioner, or any other public officer having to do with District affairs, is an honest, capable, entirely fair administrator of the affairs entrusted to his discharge. These people see no need of squabbling over a matter which a wise and honest President, aided by a competent and painstaking Senate in such cases, considered legal and in every respect proper. There are to be sure certain people who constitute themselves "the District watchdogs," who look up technical regularities and infinitesimal quavers concerning which to set up howls; but this is to be expected where some people can find no suitable excitement under any other circumstances. We regard the action of the committee who called upon the Commissioner to get down and out as a piece of consummate impudence considering the present status of the case from its legal and other aspects. And we felicitate Commissioner Newman on the masterful reply to his enemies. From our point of view, this hullabaloo about "eligibility" is that about which few save those who have personal grievances or "fish to fry" care a picayune's worth. This matter is yet undecided. Notwithstanding the action of the jury the question of Mr. Newman's eligibility to the office he is now holding must still be considered in the light in which all cases of similar import and character are viewed. Mr. Newman holds his office upon the presumption that he obtained it rightfully and legally, and the burden of showing the contrary rests with his enemies. So far asat least 100,000 or more are concerned, we are certain that they are well pleased with Mr. Newman's administration. He has treated that number at least with commendable consideration, and they thank him for it. And he would doubtless do the absolutely "square thing" by this element, were he not restrained by some of the very ilk now opposing him. We are anxious that all officers here and elsewhere be legally and duly appointed, but we prefer a thousand times a man of sound principles, a good clean heart and an exalted sense of justice—even if his title is not absolutely free from adverse presumption as to eligibility—to a cold, prejudiced person whose only merit is in that he was legally appointed. Let the Commissioner administer his part of the District affairs in peace; let the people warm up to him if they are convinced that he is doing good work for the masses of the people here, and let the courts do the rest. This is beginning to look like bulldozing, persecution. Mr. Newman can count on a round 100,000 who would like to see him come out of the present fight with colors flying. city assumed by the Citizens' Committee regulation of civic affairs of the town of the audacity with which a boy out its own will without a suffice and pleasure of the majority.

AN OVERSIGHT. The splendid contribution to be found in last week's issue of The Bee furnished a fund of useful, important and gratifying information touching the history of Normal School No. 2. Although a similar contribution may be found in one of the regular reports of the Board of Education, compiled by Dr. W. S. Montgomery—by the way, one of the most scholarly and highly creditable articles ever written on the evolution of colored school systems—yet last week's article is corroborative of and additional to the information previously published. The early history of the schools is ample and exact, although as it proceeds it lacks the completeness and accuracy which characterize early recitals of data. For instance, it recites that the limitation as to the number of entrants to the Normal School was extended at the instance of Mrs. Terrell in 1906. We do not wish to detract from the great credit due Mrs. Terrell for influencing the Board "to make eligible without examinations all graduates of the prescribed courses in both the Academic and the Technical High Schools," but we desire to state that such action was anticipated as far back as before 1900, when Mrs. Terrell was on the Board and when Dr. G. H. Richardson, by the presentation of a mass of school statistics and a most powerful argument succeeded in obtaining unanimous passage of a resolution to allow all High School pupils whose averages were 75 per cent, or more the privilege of taking the Normal School course. Although there was perfect harmony on the subject, the initiative and engineering of the matter was confided to Dr. Richardson, and his name is always mentioned whenever the subject of the increase in the number of Normal School pupils is discussed. We mention this in order to bridge a hiatus which would otherwise render the excellent account of the development of the Normal School incomplete, as well as to do injustice to the man who inaugurated and carried to a successful issue the fight for larger opportunities for our boys and girls to become accomplished and duly authenticated pedagogues. We refer to the time when Mrs. Terrell, Messrs. Richardson, Brown, and Wright were the colored representatives on the Board of Education. Of what is here stated The Bee is personally familiar, as he was informed by the late Senator Bruce that Dr. Richardson had confided to him the plans he afterward succeeded in carrying out. bid contribution to be found in L. held a fund of useful, important and the history of Normal School Mation may be found in one of the Education, compiled by Dr. W.

The editor of The Bee has had the good fortune to have known the most distinguished and celebrated colored men of recent times. Douglass, Langston, Bruce, and a host of those of lesser dignity and celebrity. He is proud to state that with most of them, he has enjoyed the consciousness of mutual confidence and even intimacy. In conjunction with their splendid abilities was a profound and unswerving appreciation of the sentiment of friendship. Differences of opinion have existed—differences in which great warmth and powerful logic were displayed by the contestants—but the ties of friendship were not in any way effected. Each combatant cheerfully conceded the perfect right to take his stand and make whatever converts he could. The result which oftimes dismayed and routed never produced personal pique or slanderous or offensive criticism. Each took his medicine like a man and cheerfully combined in a general warfare against the common enemy. If there was such a thing as ethics among politicians these men were conformists. But there have grown up in these later days men who have had a modicum of greatness thrust upon them who ignore the sentiment of friendship, if they ever recognized its existence, and who regard attachments as so many incidents or accidents to be used for selfish ends. Today, they coddle, patronize, fawn, tomorrow they are a serpent ready to sting the breast which trusted them. Today they are claiming the warmest attachments, tomorrow they are in league with avowed enemies of these erstwhile friends. We hope the time will soon arrive when men and women who are posing as friends and leaders of the race, will be honest—honest both in their attachments and in their antagonisms, in order that it may be well known where they really stand. of The Bee has had the good fortune acquainted and celebrated colored men, Jackson, Bruce, and a host of those. He is proud to state that with his consciousness of mutual consideration with their splendid ability appreciation of the sentiment of opinion have existed—different powerful logic were displayed by the friendship were not in any way effectively conceded the perfect right to our converts he could. The resultated never produced personal piquism. Each took his medicine like in a general warfare against the such a thing as ethics among po ANOTHER STAB. The Democratic ax has taken another drop, and this time, many deserving colored government employees have been humiliated, mained or decapitated. In this case, the guillotine was put in motion by a man who is claimed to be, the most despised among all the miserable "holdovers" now taking pap from their erstwhile political enemies. The Auditor for the Postoffice Department is alleged to be more antagonistic to colored people than that unlovable Negrophobist who runs the Postoffice Department in the person of Burleson, the son of Democratic from Texas. This Kram, who seems crammed full of love(?) for fair treatment of Republican clerks and other employees, can display a greater variety of official scalps than any Democrat now in the government service, although he came into office and was given his present job by the Republicans. By reason of his extraordinary acumen and exceptional proficiency(?) as an expert accountant, he has managed, in some way utterly inexplicable to the plain people, to keep Congress and the Secretary of the Treasury "guessing." It is true that Congress did not "take" to his little scheme of putting the entire office on "piece, work" whereby he would have become a veritable taskmaster, but he has got things fixed so that it seems that he is actually stuck to his job. It has been hinted that if he were replaced by a Democrat it would take forty years for the new officer to straighten things out so that they would run smoothly. There seems to be no evidence of graft, but the system of accounting is mystifying as can well be imagined. But just now, we are concerned about the colored employees he has struck down and struck out. Many of the men affected bear records of unimpeachable character and long sustained efficiency, yet they were mercilessly mangled officially by this "holdover" Kram. It is to be hoped that when the Republican party comes marching home again, this friend(?) and Republican(?) will be allowed to remain among his Democratic friends out in the cold long enough to realize that Iscariotism has received its due reward—contempt. We agonize with our friends in this their misfortune and carnestly hope the time will come when they will be reinstated to their rightful places of recognized merit. It is a measly shame. ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKE PUBLICIST. Among public men now living in the English speaking world there is no name more spotless, no life more devoted to the general good, no spirit more untiring than the name and life and spirit of Archibald H. Grimke. For sixty years Mr. Grimke's powers have been growing and their growth is active to this hour. His is a fortunate heredity, his a happy nature. His formal school and college education was of the kind that New England gives to her most promising sons. In the famous law school of Harvard University Grimke was a classmate of Henry Cabot Lodge. During Mr. Grimke's career as a whole, one must remark the adequacy with which the interests and opportunities of his boyhood and youth laid the foundations for his career as a publicist. Mr. Grimke has won distinction as a man of letters; his lives of Garrison and Summer have an enduring value. As minister to San Domingo, he maintained the best traditions of American diplomacy. But Mr. Grimke's recent activities as one of the ablest, bravest and most active leaders of the New Abolition movement have won for him a peculiar place in the hearts of the colored people of America. Who that has heard Mr. Grimke speak upon segregation has not been lifted to a higher plane of democracy? His speeches are literature in a deep and true sense. They are not less decisive upon the hearts and conduct of men in this present crisis. Grimke thinks as a statesman. And it is not too much to say that his style has the elevation and the beauty and the power of a Burke. What individual more than any other exposed the grotesque iniquity of the segregation bills that were recently before Congress? To whom, then, is the defeat of these bills most due? Archibald H. Grimke appeared before a most hostile committee at the hearings upon the Aswill and Edwards bills in March and actually defeated the bills there. It was Mr. Grimke who in his capacity as President of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., took up the case of the colored employees dismissed from the Post Office Department to the highest authorities and had the men reinstated. It was he who bestirred members of Congress to insist that there be no more delay in constructing the new M Street High School. And it was President Grimke who miraculously managed to modify and relieve conditions of segregation in the United States Bureau of Engraving. Any community, any people, and any nation may well be proud to boast of such a publicist as Archibald H. Grimke. GILES JACKSON AND POLITICAL OFFICE. In a communication which Mr. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va., sent to Senator Martin, urging an appropriation by Congress to enable the Negro Historical and Industrial Association to hold an exposition to celebrate the semi-centennial of Negro emancipation, near Richmond, he says: "We do not ask for political office, neither do we expect to receive any." This may represent the sentiment of Mr. Giles B. Jackson and of those associated with him in the Negro Historical and Industrial Association, but it is impossible to believe that it represents the sentiment and hope and aspiration of the Negro people in Virginia, or elsewhere in the United States. If the Negro does not ask for political office and expect to receive it, he admits that he should be excluded from all kinds of employment requiring training, special fitness and fidelity to public interests. Mr. Jackson is a lawyer, and as such is in a sense an officer of the courts in which he practices. Courts are institutions of political creation. Therefore a lawyer practicing before such a court is so far forth a political officer. Does Mr. Jackson mean to say to Senator Martin, that if deprived of his right to practice before the courts of Virginia, he will not ask and expect to be reinstated? And yet if a man surrenders the right to appointment to political office by saying he does not ask for, nor expect it, why should he follow a profession which necessarily takes him before political officers in looking after other people's business? The Negro does ask for political office, and he should ask for it whether he gets it or not. The offices are his in common ownership with the rest of the citizens of the country. He contributes in taxes direct and indirect to pay all the expenses of the government. If Mr. Jackson gets his Negro Historical and Industrial Association financed by the general government, it will be simply the government turning over a part of the Negro's own money to an association of Negroes. In our opinion Mr. Jackson knows that all Negroes, including even himself, expect and have a perfect right to all the benefits of organized society, including the holding of office. It's all right to urge progress along industrial lines, but progress along industrial lines should not mean the surrender of a single human right in other departments of life. A CHANGE IN CIVIL SERVICE RULES. The civil service rules have been amended so as to require that applicants shall file photographs of themselves with their applications to take civil service examinations. The rule goes into effect with the fall examinations. This means the practical exclusion of Negroes from appointment to office by civil service certification. At present, when an eligible is selected from a list, he is sent for and if found to be of Negro extraction is told that he is not needed just at this time, but will be sent for if needed. There is systematic and organized injustice being practiced against the Negro by officers of the government, and it ought to be stopped. A little man is always telling what he has done for others. A great man does not make broad his own phylactries, but lets the beneficiaries do the talking. Virtue is its own reward. The prejudicial class of whites will be found among the aristocrats. This class has been well reared. This class has always been reared properly and educat- ed in the school of fine arts. The history of the development of the Normal School suggests a measure of the possibilities of advance all along the line of school work. Verbum sat. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I was talking to Prof. Hershaw the other day, and he told me what a wonderful place Tuskegee is. When he was praising Tuskegee, I thought of that old quotation, "Praise from Sir Rupert is praise indeed." And that just leads me to recall that so many of our Negro business men don't advertise in Negro newspapers because they claim Negro newspapers have no circulation and no influence. I notice, however, that many of our big white firms who have advertising down to a fine art use the Negro newspapers. Now no white firm is going to spend money advertising in a Negro newspaper if it doesn't get good returns. If our Negro business men who try to do business would use the Negro newspapers half as liberally as the white business men, Negro editors wouldn't have to dodge creditors and wonder how they will raise the wind to pay for the next issue. The average Negro likes to see himself puffed each week in a Negro newspaper when he doesn't have to pay for it, but renigs at paying for advertising. There is no use complaining that Negro newspapers ain't up to snuff and then refusing to help making them what the editor would like to have them. Brother Chase has been worrying along for thirty-four years trying to make the mare go, and the best he gets out of the majority of his constituents is a subscription which they take a year and more to pay, and these are the people who kick if he kicks on their lack of support. I'll wager a fifteen-cent deviled crab, that ought to be bought for 5 or 10 cents, that Brother Chase can count with the fingers on one hand the Negroes in this town that have really helped him make the stinging Bee a Negro organ to uphold and defend the race. Why don't our Negro business men advertise? Will some saint or sinner rise up and explain why? Don't all answer at once. \*\*\* If women's dresses get any narrower, hubby will have to lock up his trousers, for his wifey will mistake his trousers half the time for her dress and wear them. I saw a spring fry on You Street Sunday that had on a dress so narrow it showed all the contour, of her form. Every move, muscle and creek, and she got awfully indignant when a bunch of aggle fellows at You and Eleventh watched her show a pair of green hose up to the garter line when she stepped up on a car. She turned on them a withering look and called back: "I hope you are satisfied with what you saw, you insulting things." Men's eyes were made to look out of, and if women don't want Eleventh and You Street corner supporters to oggle them, the best thing is to buy a yard or two more of goods and put into their dresses. Peekaboo waists and skin-tight dresses, through which you can't see through, just naturally makes a hay-seed look when he ain't thinking. I see they did things to the colored clerks in the Treasury Department last week. Well, some of the Negro government employees thought it would be a good thing to have a change. Now, that they got it, they don't want it. I hate to see a fellow reduced or dumped out when the cost of living is so high, but we just must expect the Democrats to do the contrary. They have always done it when they got in power, and are now simply maintaining their traditional antagonism to Ham. * * * I notice Woody ain't in no hurry to appoint a black successor to Link Johnson. Charley Barnes may have a long time to write before he gets in the Recorder's office under Jim Ross. The present dope is that Al Cosey has the pole for the place if Wilson actually decides to appoint a colored man. Tumulty is for Cosey, and Bishop Walters is for him, too—and that ends all argument. I hear that Findley Wilson is working like a packydrome against Armond Scott for Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks. Findley has just as much chance of stopping Armond as a catapillar has of stopping a railroad train by lying across the track. Armond's wings are all set and he's running like an eight-day clock. I'm sorry to see Findley go up again a huz saw, but I tried to advise him that we Elks wanted, Armond and would not be satisfied until we got him, but he thought I was talking through my Stetson top-piece. RACE DISCRIMINATION. Negroes Segregated in the Agricultural Department. In the Bureau of Soils in the Agricultural Department, which belongs to all the people of the United States, dogs included, except the Negro, has issued an order of segregation. The doors of the toilet room is placarded as follows: "FOR COLORED EMPLOYES." In this department, above all others, all citizens are supposed to be on a' level. One would suppose that the blacker the soil the richer the production is in this department but the heads don't think so. Just where they will put the Negro next The Bee is in doubt. Now, ever since the establishment of this department all employees have been using the same room. The Bee respectfully calls the attention of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Negro Democrats, all other Negroes who declared before the Democratic party came into power, that a change in the administration would be a good thing.

INSTRCUTION BUSINESS BLEASEISM ISSUE IN S.C.ELECTION Governor Seeking E. D. Smith's Place In U. S. Senate. BITTER CAMPAIGN GOING ON Meetings Held In Each County, and Followers of Governor Try to "Howl Down" Other Candidates—Bless Promises to Cause All Negro Government Employees to Lose Jobs. Spartanburg, S. C.—A political campaign such as can be furnished only by the state of South Carolina is now in progress. The issue is Blesselsm. United States Senator Ellison D. Smith is opposed by Coleman Livingston Please, the stormy governor who has kept his state in the public eye for the past three and a half years—who, his enemies say, has kept the state in disrepute since being chosen governor. The "biennial circus" has furnished many bitter and denunciatory speeches. For two months prior to an election in this state the candidates campaign in a body. Meetings are held in each of the forty-four counties. Candidates are allowed an hour to present their views. Disorder and claos frequently attend these meetings, and supporters of Blease often attempt to prevent other candidates from delivering their speeches by riotous tactics. Personalities are common and bitter. Hence the state campaism has come to be known as the "biennial circus." The first primary will be held on Aug. 25. The result of the primary is equivalent to an election, as about 95 per cent of the voters of the state are Democrats. The primaries were J. B. H. R. D. SMITH (TOP) AND COLE L. BLEASE (BELOW.) inaugurated by Senator Tillman to eliminate the negro vote. No negro may vote unless he voted for Wade Hampton and the overthrow of the carpet bag rule and negro domination in 1876. Thus each negro voter must have been twenty-one years old in 1876 or fifty-nine years old today. Blease in this election is not opposed by Smith alone. Two of the most prominent and successful farmers in the state have entered the campaign, and the governor is forced to face the rapid fire arguments from three bitter opponents. L. D. Jennings, a planter and politician, mayor of Sumter, S. C., and arch enemy of Bleaseism is alding Smith in making the fight to overthrow Blease. W. P. Pollack of Cheraw is also a candidate. In the various meetings that have been held Blease has continued his practice of appalling to the race prejudice of the ignorant and in a speech in this city promised if sent to the senate to have all negro government employees discharged and their places filled by "Bleasites." When his pardon record was attacked he answered that his friends demanded no explanation from him, and his enemies could not force him to explain. During the three years and six months that he has been governor Blease has pardoned and paroled over 1,200 convicts, and prisons are now almost depleted. When the governor announced his intention of seeking a senatorial toga many of his satellites and camp followers sought his place in the governor's mansion. As a result in this contest there has been a split in the ranks of the Blease supporters. No fewer than twelve men are running. Perhaps the most unique is John G. Clinckscales of this city, for many years a professor at Wofford college and one of the best known educators in the state and bitter enemy of Blease. Mr. Clinckscales has made his race on a platform that embodies compulsory education. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON FAITHFULNESS TO OPPORTUNITIES. Luke 19:11-27—July 26. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Matthew 2:21. We are not to confound the Parable of the Pounds with the Parable of the Talents. They teach totally different lessons. In the case of the talents, the amount given each servant differed. In the case of the pounds, the amount was the same. This parable, therefore, deals with something common to all the class referred to. Jesus and His disciples were approaching Jerusalem, where shortly He was to be crucified. The disciples, on the contrary, supposed that the Messianic Kingdom would immediately be established. This parable was intended to inform them that a long time would first elapse. The kings of Palestine were appointed by the Roman Emperor. One of the Herods had recently gone to Rome, seeking appointment to a kingdom. Some who hated him sent a message to Rome, declaring their preference for another king. Jesus seized upon this circumstance as illustrating His own case. He was the Appointee for the Messianic Kingdom; but He would go to Heaven, and there the Heavenly Father, Emperor of the Universe, would invest Him with authority. Later He would return to earth and exercise dominion. This is exactly the presentation of prophecy.-Palm 2:8. "Occupy Till I Come." During the Master's absence in Heaven, He has committed to His disciples, His servants, one pound each, with full liberty to use their best judgment in His service. At His return, these servants will be reckoned with, and rewarded in proportion to their zeal and efficiency. THE SACRIFICIAL RELATIONSHIP The parable distinguishes between these consecrated servants of God and the world. It shows that nothing is that nothing is committed to the masses, and that no judgment, reward, is made in their case at the Master's return. Only His servants will be held responsible for either reward or punishment in respect to their faithfulness. In considering what is signified by the pound, we must keep in memory that the fulfilment must show some blessing or responsibility given alike to all of God's consecrated people. We can think of but one thing given alike to this class. Their talents and opportunities are very unlike—wealth, mental capacity; environment, etc. None of these varied talents belong to this Parable of the Pounds. The pound represents justification. The one thing which the Redeemer does for all His followers is to justify them freely from all things, leaving them on exactly an equal footing; for justification makes up to each in proportion as he is short of perfection. "Be Thou Faithful Unto Death." All who now become Christ's followers must receive from the Lord, as a basis for this relationship, the pound—free forgiveness of sins—justification. Because they are thus allike qualified, the results will show the degree of loving zeal controlling each servant. As in the parable one servant gained ten pounds, so such noble characters as St. Peter, St. John and others counted all earthly things as loss and dross, that they might be pleasing to their Master, the coming King. These, and such as these, who have gladly spent themselves in the Lord's service, will have the highest rewards. The servant who reported a gain of five pounds represents a class who will receive a less influential place in the Kingdom. "Those Mine Enemies—Slay Them." The servant who hid his pound represents those who have entered into a covenant with the Lord to be His servants, who have received justification at His hands, but who have not compiled with their agreement to sacrifice self in His service. This class is represented by the foolish virgins, who failed to enter in to the wedding. These will fail to become members of the Bride class. with their agreement to sacrifice self in His service. This class is represented by the foolish virgins, who failed to enter in to the wedding. These will fall to become members of the Bride class. Not until He shall have dealt with His servants at His Second Coming will Messiah begin to deal with the world, and especially His enemies. This statement is borne out by numerous Scriptures. The work of the Gospel Age is merely for the selection and testing of His servants, to determine which will be found worthy of association with Himself in the Kingdom. At first thought we might gather that verse 27 signifies that the King of Glory will be implacable, ferocious, unsympathetic, with His enemies. A picture of this carriage is given in Revelation 19:15, where He is represented in glorious majesty, with a sword proceeding out of His mouth, that with it He should smite the nations. Blessed smiting! This terrible carriage will mean a great blessing; for the Lord smites to heal. Unless His enemies be thus brought into subjection, nothing remains for them but extinction—Acts 8223.

THE SOUTHERN NEGRO Lauded by Senator White—Most Remarkable Tribute Paid Race in History of Senate—Aged Alabamian Visibly Affected as He Recounts Negro Friendship—Votes for the Amendments to Sundry Appropriation Bill Appropriating $55,000 to Negro Exposition in Virginia. What is perhaps the most remarkable tribute ever paid to the Negro race on the floor of the Senate since the days of Charles Sumner, fell from the lips of Captain Frank S. White, Senator from Alabama, during the course of debate on the sundry appropriation bill the other day. Following his remarkable address, the Senate unanimously passed an amendment to the appropriation bill, giving to the Negro Exposition Company of Virginia, $55,000 to aid in holding an exposition commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation. The bill had been introduced by Senator Martin of Virginia, and had occasioned some debate on the floor of the Senate. Effort had been made to secure an appropriation for a Negro exposition of the same character to be held in Illinois, and the only objection on the part of Illinois Senators was that they wanted the appropriation for their constituents. Unless the House fails to accept the amendment, the Virginia Negroes will be able to hold their exposition with federal aid. Senator White in the course of his remarks said: "It has not been their treatment, Mr. President, that has burdened them, but it was their condition and that condition was slavery. They have emerged from that condition and have made wonderful strides of progress. If they had not been interfered with after they were emancipated in 1805; if Mr. Lincoln could but have lived, there never would have been any strife between the southern white man and the Negro. They would have continued to live together in peace as they had done for generations past. We had shown our friendship for each other for more than a century. They were not brought there by us; they were laid at our door by others; they were brought to us as savages. We lifted them through slavery from savagery to civilization and manhood. "He has been our burden in the past; he was our burden when he was a slave; and yet, Mr. President, he contributed wonderfully to our race. We can point to as fine a race of white men as ever lived from the south, and these men received from the toil and sacrifice of Negroes the means with which they were educated and accomplished. We are grateful to him for what he has done, and we are willing to show our gratitude by way of urging this appropriation for their benefit and to show the world what they have accomplished since acquiring freedom. "We are more truly grateful to them for what they did for us during the struggle in which their freedom was the issue than for what they did for us in other lines. When all the colored man had to do to obtain his freedom was to cross the line and take up arms against our section, he stood by our side and fought our battles with us. He camped with us day and night; he marched with us by day; he held our horses and guarded our tents while we stood in battle line and met death by thousands. He supplied our every want; he guarded our homes and protected our wives and children: he was indeed our friend. He showed his friendship and his loyalty as no other race on earth had done by standing by us in our hour of trouble. "The black men of the South carried their dead masters back to their wives; the sons who had fallen back to their mothers' arms. They bore our sick and wounded to them; and when they came bearing in their arms those precious burdens, they so endeared themselves to us that it has never been forgotten. "I want to say in this presence, Mr. President, that nothing I have done, no appropriation for which I have voted, gives me more pleasure than does this one. To enable the black man of the South to show what he has achieved under the tutelage of the Southern white man while he was a slave, and with his co-operation since his freedom, and by his own untiring efforts since he has had placed upon him the responsibilities of manhood. affords me genuine pleasure. Unfortunately for him and for the country, he had political responsibilities thrust upon him which he was unable to carry. "In this way he was made to compete in an unequal struggle with the white man, and this caused the only House & Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts., N.

Thus it is highly educative in all its phases and an incentive to deep research along many lines. With very few exceptions those who have seen it declare that it has revealed to their astonished eyes the lengths, breadths, heights and depths of the Love of God, which passes human understanding, and thus has brought them a great blessing. PASTOR RUSSELL The discourse of Pastor Russell today was unique in every sense of the word. He took for his text St. Paul's words, "Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the Mystery of Christ"—Ephesians 3:4. The Scriptures clearly teach that during this Gospel Age our God is preparing a great Temple class, began the Pastor. After this class shall have been glorified, the Divine Power will operate through this Temple. God will be in the Church—the Temple—and all nations will begin to draw near to their Creator. All classes—Jews, Gentiles, bond and free—will come to the Father through this Temple; for the glory of God will be in it. The Priests in this new Temple of future will be Jesus, the great high Priest, and the Church, the unpriests. This High Priest will also King—"a Priest Upon His Throne," the Order of Melchizedek. The her-priests are still in training for office. The Royal Priesthood will sit of those alone who shall be deed worthy to sit with our Lord in Throne. As it is written, "Blessed holy is he that hath part in the First Resurrection; on such the Second Death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." The Pastor then discussed the question. How may one become a member of this Order of Melichizedek—these Knights Templars on the Heavenly plane! The Church of Christ, he declared, is the most wonderful Secret Order ever known. The Mystery of God is not yet finished, the Revelator tells us; this Mystery which God has kept secret from the foundation of the world will not be finished until the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet. This Mystery, the Scriptures teach, is the Church. These members of the mystical Body of Christ are in the world, but the world knows them not, even as it knew Him not. The Degrees of the Order. It was then shown that the great condition for membership in this Order is the absolute denial of self—the giring up to the Lord of all that the candidate possesses, himself included. This condition is the most stringent ever known. The first degree in this Order is the recognition of Jesus Christ as our Savior and faith in His redeeming blood. Some merely take this initiatory step, and never go on to perfection. Those in the first degree know practically very little about the Order; for, as the Apostle declares, "the natural man [the world] 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." Since the secrets of this Order must be spiritually discerned, whoever would know them must progress beyond the first degree. The second degree, the Pastor explained, is consecration, which is immediately followed by spirit-begetting. Those who have progressed thus far have become New Creatures in Christ. To these, "old things have passed away and all things have become new." Thenceforth these should grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; and as they do so they are privileged to advance to higher degrees. In due time they may become Knights Templars. This degree is very honorable; those who have attained it have become leaders in the Church of Christ, especial function arises in any matter pertaining to the interests of the Temple. These know most about the things of the Temple. As these members of the Order progress from one degree to another, they learn more and more about the Mystery of Christ. Those who have taken many degrees, therefore, know much more than do those who have taken but few degrees. The Apostle urges all in the spiritual Temple to grow in grace, in knowledge, in characterlikeness to our Lord, the Grand Commander of the Order, the High Priest of our Profession, the One who died for us—who not only redeemed us and gave us the opportunity of becoming members of this high fraternity, but who also set us an example how we ought to walk. Those who attain the highest degree shall be His associates and joint-belrs in His Messianic Kingdom. This highest degree, however, is limited in number to 144,000 members, the Scriptures point out. The Standard of the Cross. The Pastor then showed that the members of the Free and Accepted Order of the Lord Jesus Christ's Commandery have for their standard, not the cross on the head of the sword, but the Cross of Christ, with which they must be marked day by day. One of the very highest of this Order was St Paul, who boasted in one of his Epistles that he bore in his body the marks of the Lord Jesus. These marks were not such as the world could appreciate, but were marks such as our Savior had, and such as all have who attain the highest degrees bestowed by this Order. The Apostle elsewhere explains that as Jesus bore the marks of having been smitten, beaten, condemned and crucified, witnessing to His faithfulness to God and righteousness, so he was himself marked. Every order has its own marks, but only the Captain of our salvation knows the marks borne by the soldiers of the Cross. Whoever receives these marks in His service will be rewarded abundantly—more than he could ask or even think. These light afflictions, which are but for a moment, will work for these faithful soldiers a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory—beyond the veil, in the glorious Temple now in process of construction. This Temple, the speaker declared, will be the greatest in existence. All other temples, all other societies, are but shadows, pictures, figures. No matter whence a candidate came, no matter who he was before he entered the Lodge of our Lord Jesus Christ, after he has joined this Order he has a right to the regalia and to all belonging to the Order. There is only one way by which any one may become a member. There is also only one way by which one once in may be put out, and that is according to the arrangements made by the Lord; for there is a secret writing even of the names in this Order. These names are written in Heaven. No human being knows who are the members. Free and Accepted In Christ Jesus. The members of this Order, it was shown, are free from the domination of sin, free from the fear of death, free from that condition of alienation from God in which they were by nature, when they were "children of wrath even as others." They are not free to commit sin, however; in fact, they have no such inclination. Their very desire to come into relationship with God indicates that they do not love sin. The shackles of sin have fallen from them. "If the Son make you free, then are ye free indeed." (John 8:36.) Every one thus made free by the Lord Jesus Christ, through the merit of the Redeemer's sacrifice, and presenting his body a living sacrifice and being accepted of God, is received into this Fraternity, this Royal Priesthood. Happy are all such; for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon them. The more attentive each of these is to the rules of the Order, the more faithful each one is in laying down his life in the service of the brethren, the more progress will be make and the higher will be his station. He will rise from one degree to another until he shall have attained the highest rank, and shall have favor in the fullest sense with the Grund Master of the Order. In the typical language of the Scriptures, the human nature of all New Creatures in Christ is pictured in the goat. The Bible tells these New Creatures that the "gout" which each one "rides" more or less daily is his own flesh. In the typical Day of Atonement two goats were brought to the door of the Tabernacle and there tled. These goats typified all who offer themselves in consecration to God. After the lots were cast, the high priest sacrificed the Lord's goat, thus typifying God's acceptance of the class represented. Thenceforth the goat represented merely the old nature, the flesh; and the New Creature was represented in the members of the high priest's body. "Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God," says the Apostle. The Pastor also showed that God has so arranged that members of His great Secret Order may tell all they desire about it and the hearers cannot understand, unless they are also of the Order. God alone knows who are members of His Secret Society; for He alone knows whether at heart each is loyal and true. Others may wear the uniform, learn grips and passwords; but the Lord knows those who are His. In other words, there are many who have more or less outward appearance of being Christians, but who are not really such at heart. Another point discussed was that all who become members of the Royal Priesthood—"living stones," from the Divine standpoint, to be chiseled and prepared for a place in the Royal Temple—must enter by a narrow, difficult way. This Jesus set forth, saying, "If any man will come after Me [become a living stone in the Temple, be a member of this high Order], let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me." The Founder of the Order. The origin of this Order, commonly known as the Church of Christ, was next shown. The Great Master Craftsman, the Lord Jesus Christ, laid the foundation and arranged all pertaining to it. He alone founded this great Secret Society. Members of the organization may indeed recognize assistants in the work, but there is only the one Grand Master, who has supervision of the whole. He Himself has said, "One is your Master, even Christ, and all we are brethren." The Pastor then set forth the facts relative to our Lord's life on earth nearly nineteen hundred years ago. The world did not recognize the Great Master. Jesus alone, the Founder of the Order which is His Church, had the secret plans for the great Temple which God desired to have constructed. When He was crucified, more or less of the Mystery connected with the Temple was lost. The Scriptures also intimate that certain features of that Mystery were not to be completed until His return. So the members of this Society have been waiting for the return of their Master, who gave His life in connection with the secret of the construction of the Temple, the Church. Jesus preached in public, the Pastor declared, and while thousands heard Him, very few understood. So now, when the members of His Church tell the Glad Tidings of great joy, very few understand; for only those who are called to join this Order which Jesus founded have the power to comprehend—the hearing ear. To His disciples the Master once said, "Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear." Only those who have come into this Divine Order have this spiritual insight and spiritual guidance; and only these may know the things that are freely given unto the initiated. These things are freely given to one class, but are not intended for any one else. The speaker then showed the reason for this discrimination. During this Age God is not dealing with the world. After He has built His great Temple, then He will deal with the world. But mankind will never be priests, members of the Temple class. Nevertheless, they will have a great blessing—Restitution to human perfection, lost in Eden, redeemed on Calvary. He declared that it would never do for the world to know all about the secrets known only to the members of God's great Secret Order; otherwise mankind would interfere with the Plan of God. He illustrated his point by referring to the Scriptural statements that if the Jews had understood about Jesus, if they had understood His parables and dark sayings, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. Then the Scriptures would not have been fulfilled; God's Plan would not have been carried out. St. Peter called the attention of the Jews to this fact, saying, "Now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. But those things which God before had showed by the mouth of all His Prophets, that Christ should suffer, He hath so fulfilled." St. Paul corroborates this statement, declaring, "None of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory." The Pastor praised the Wisdom of God, which withheld from the world a secret the knowledge of which would have increased their responsibility without benefiting them in the least. Temples of the Holy Spirit. Next were quoted various passages of Scripture which show that whoever receives the Holy Spirit is a temple of the Holy Spirit. This class is not of the world; for the world by nature knows not God. The world is under condemnation—"children of wrath," according to Scripture. God has not yet begun to give humanity the blessing which He purposes to give them. He is now dispensing blessings only to the Church, to those who have been begotten of the Holy Spirit, who have been initiated into the mysteries of His Secret Order. These alone have come into the position where He can deal with them. The Pastor explained that the Church class have not received the Holy Spirit in full. When the great antitypical Temple of God shall have been finished beyond the vell, then the Holy Spirit will be given in full; all these "living stones" which constitute that Temple will be filled with the glory of God. But there is a sense in which each one has received the Holy Spirit who has given up his own will in order to do the will of God; and in that sense the body of each of these has become a temple. Wherever the Spirit of God dwells, there is a temple of God. The discourse was concluded with an earnest exhortation to every one who is conscious of having received the Holy Spirit of God. All such should ever be on guard lest they grieve the Spirit—ignore it or live contrary to it. The Apostle says, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." From the very time when one is begotten of the Spirit of God, that individual is marked with the seal of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle also says, "We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." That is to say, the possession of the Holy Spirit of God constitutes one in temple. The Apostle's thought, the speaker declared, is that all such should regard their bodies very sacredly. Since God has honored them by placing His Holy Spirit within them, they should see to it that this sanctifying power operates throughout their members—in their minds, their tongues, their hands and their feet. Whatsoever such shall do or say should all be done to the glory of God. PLAN GAMBLING AT PANAMA. Earl of Shrewsbury Proposes Second Monte Carlo at Canal. London. — The Casino Nacional de Panama company, limited, with the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot as chairman, which proposes to start a second Monte Carlo at Panama, gives an alluring description of the wonderful gambling and amusement resort it intends to launch. The company is to acquire 250 acres of land and to operate under a charter "insuring absolute freedom from all interference for a period of twenty-five years," according to the promises of its prospectus, but no statement is made of what authority is to give the charter and to insure the freedom from interference. The casino is to include most of the attractions of Monte Carlo—a big hotel, an orchid garden, which will be one of the wonders of the world; a bathing pavilion, pigeon shooting, tennis grounds, golf courses and, principally, the gambling hall. Panama is advertised as a splendid winter resort, while passengers will have twenty-four hours to spend on land while the steamers traverse the canal, thus insuring a constant patronage. Profits to the stockholders must be large, because the roulette tables will be run on a system giving the bank a much larger percentage of profits than the Monte Carlo company gets from the play there. Forty per cent dividends on the f4 shares are predicted by the prospectus. MODEL CHILD LABOR LAW. Industrial Board Would Put Little Workers Under State Bureaus. Philadelphia.-The members of the United States commission on industrial relations are discussing a plan for state bureaus to look after the welfare of working children of school age. The commission intends to present it at all the hearings it holds throughout the country with a view of recommending a model law for the states. The proposed bureau would maintain a school census and enforce regularity of attendance, issue licenses to minors engaged in street trades, issue employment certificates and look after the child during the first two years in industry, establish vocational guidance work to fit industrial conditions of a community, help the child to get placed in its chosen industry, look after the delinquent, defective and dependent and take charge of the medical inspection service of the schools. HE DIED IN PRISON, WITH PARDON ON WAY Veteran Was Reading "Homeward Bound" When End Game. Kansas City. Mo. — David Truax, eighty-two years old, a life termer in the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing, died while a pardon was on the way to him. Truax served in the Ninety-first New York in the civil war. Having grubbed a competency from a little farm in Meade county, he left his family for a few months and went to the Kansas Old Soldiers' home at Dodge City. On his return from a visit to town one day Truax brought with him a pint of whisky. He put the bottle in his coat pocket, hung the coat in a tree and went into the barracks. While he was gone two of his cronies drank all the whisky and replaced the empty bottle. When he discovered the empty bottle he became mad with rage. He got an old army pistol and killed one and wounded the other. One of the men was killed instantly and the other crippled for life. Truax was tried for murder, convicted and sentenced to the Kansas penitentiary for a life term. When Major W. L. Brown was appointed to the board of control he took a special interest in the convicts who have been soldiers and came to know Truax intimately. Through his intercession a pardon was granted. The papers were mailed to the governor, and Truax was taken from the cellroom and given the freedom of the office. He had been making big plans for his trip home. Out of his pension he had saved $150 to assure burial outside, the prison cemetery and sent the rest to his family. Major Brown called in the warden's office to see Truax and found him sitting in an easy chair, apparently dozing. He was dead. In his lap was a book, "Homeward Bound." Gas Proves Deadly to Elies Independence, Kan.—A gas leak alongside the curb in front of a Main street residence has inadvertently given the city a hint at fly swattting that may prove of immense value. Along this leak, which extends about forty feet, is a layer of bluebottle files from two to three inches deep and three inches to a foot wide. It is estimated there are a half bushel of them. Something about the gas attracts the insects, and they are asphyxated. Cottonwood Falls. Kan.—When Mrs. William Weaver, the wife of an Elmdale liverman, started to go into her cave the other day she encountered a bunch of snakes under the steps that had evidently come out from their winter quarters. She ran to the house and called her husband, who succeeded in killing fourteen reptiles of various sizes and species.

MADRE, 2227 CLEVELAND STREET, N. W. --- RIBOT GREATEST FRENCH LEADER Settles Many Important Questions For His Nation. HAS AN AMERICAN WIFE Brought About Alliance With Russia and Helped to Arrange the Entente With England—Fearless For the Right, and Yet In All His Political Career He Has Made Few Enemies. Paris. In each republic there are always a small number of eminent statesmen who are necessary to the salvation of the country. In France Alexander Felix Ribot has often arisen to the occasion and has become the man of the hour in several crises. Whenever the intrigues of the parties in the chamber of deputies threaten to involve the present regime, then the president turns to Ribot to tide affairs over until the republic is itself again. Although his efforts to form a cabinet for the Policare administration were defeated by the power of the opposing faction, Ribot would doubtless receive, were a vote of personal confidence taken, the support of all parties as the safest public man in France. He has had the exceptional fortune to face ev J. ery storm in this land of lucidement politics for thirty-six years and to have come through with serenity and credit. He has been premier in several cabnets, minister of the interior, of foreign affairs and of finance in others. In all of these offices his work was of the highest order. When the upheavals of politics placed others in command he withdrew calmly and cheerfully to his seat in the chamber of deputies and applied himself to the public welfare with good conscience and industry in the humbler functions of those offices. His record stands free from the least sign of resentment for any of the turns of politics, in which self seems always to have been subordinated to country. There have been times in his career when the presidency brushed across his vision. The prospect of that elevation had little apparent effect on him. He continued to go quietly and steadily about his appointed duties. When the prize slipped to another he became that other's cheerful supporter, and no breath of disloyalty or of envy ever tainted him. Had he been elected president the first lady of the land would have been an American, his wife, who was Miss Minnie Burch, having come years ago from Chicago, where her father was a banker To Ribot France owes the Franco Russian alliance, and he had much to do with effecting the entente with England. His firmness and courtesy were more powerful than any other single influence in smoothing out many of the animosities toward Germany that lingered after the Franco-Prussian war. It was in one of his terms as premier that France acquired her share in the European division of zones of control in Africa. Always independent of the church party, he has been steadily courteous and considerate with that interest and enjoys its full respect. His republicanism has remained steadfast and consistent, and as leader of the Progressives he has not in any instance failed to meet the expectations of his supporters, although every side has had fair hearing from him. While classed from the beginning of his career as a partisan, his course is primarily that of a patriot, and as patriot all factions hall him. The policy of conciliation which he adopted while young in public life won countless victories for him and general esteem. It is said of him, as of few French publicists, that he has no enemy after all the issues he has fought. If his eminence needs further explanation it is due to his unswerving and dominating patriotism, to his broad sympathies and to the high qualities of his mind and character. In every situation he has had the trust of all the people. If temptation ever beset him for his political or financial advancement he withstood it, not with effort, but in natural course. Moderation of speech, accuracy of foresight and integrity of conduct have distinguished him in both public and private relations. HENS CONSERVE GAME. Hatch Quail Eggs After Sitting Bob Whites Are Scared Off. St. Louis.-Certain hens in Foster township, near Alton, Ill., are hatching out quail as well as chickens these days, according to a veracious correspondent. William Manns, a farmer, has induced his sitting hens to increase the nation's game supply by eighteen quails within the last week, with prospects of similar contributions for the future, the correspondent avers. Manns says the mother qualls, when grain in the fields is cut, leave their nests and do not return to them. Manns recently has found several such nests, it is said, with eggs in them. These he carried to his chicken house and placed under sitting-hens. When the eggs hatch, he says, the young qualls follow the mother hen about like chicks, but as soon as they are big enough to shift for themselves they fly away, forgetting their early domesticity. Manns is urging other farmers in the vicinity to hatch the quall eggs they find. BRIDGE BUILDING WONDER. Lehigh Valley Replaces Old Bridge With New In Five Minutes. Wende, N. Y.-In five minutes a 150 ton bridge was moved out and replaced by a 750 ton bridge on the Lehigh Valley railroad here. It took exactly two minutes to get the old bridge out of the way and two minutes and fifty seconds to roll the new one into place. Traffic was not interfered with, the time chosen for the bridge moving having been carefully chosen in relation to the movement of trains. The new bridge, which is a double tracked single span structure over a hundred feet long, was already fitted with a balinsted track laid on a concrete foundation, and as soon as it was in place it was only necessary to join the rails to make ready for the passage of trains. The steel spans are ten feet deep and rest on rockers, so that trailing passing immediately afterward were able to travel at full speed, as if there were no bridge there. Average Per Capita In 195 Places Is $17.34. Washington.—The total payment for expenses of the general departments of the 195 cities having a population of 30,000 and over in the report of financial statistics of cities for 1912, recently issued by William J. Harris, director of the bureau of the census, department of commerce, was $508,543,048. The total per capita payments for expense other than of public service enterpr. is increased from $13.02 in 1002 to $17.34 in 1912, a gain of 33.2 per cent. The per capita payment in cities of 500,000 population and over was $21.24; in cities of 300,000 and 500,000 population it was $19.90; in cities having a population between 100,000 and 300,000 it was $14.22; in cities having 50,000 to 100,000 the per capita payment was $12.60, and in cities of between 30,000 and 50,000 population it was $11.69. The per capita payments for each year have shown an increase over those of the preceding year, except that those for 1900 were slightly less than those for 1908. The per capita payments for expenses of the general government, including those for courts, have increased quite uniformly during the eleven year period, as have for the most part those for the expenses of police and fire departments, for conservation of health and sanitation, which includes sewers, sewage disposal and refuse disposal and for education. FINDS MELON CUT COSTLY. Two Slices Set Greenburg, Champion Eater, Back $100. New York.—His inability to eat two slices of watermelon cost Leo Green burg, a merchant, $100. The fruit was the dessert course in a menu which Greenburg and Max Levine, another merchant, were attempting to negotiate on a bet. The first contest took place at a restaurant, and a large crowd looked on. Here is the bill of fare for each person: Four steaks. Four portions of vegetables and cream. Two portions of hot corn. Two cups of coffee. Two segments of watermelon. Greenburg made a noble attempt to consume the dessert, but had to admit defeat. The referee thereupon handed the purse to Levine.

MURRAY Second and L Streets Southwest MUCH GAME IN MICHIGAN. 48,000 Deer In the State, 5,000 Bears and Only 34 Moose. Marquette, Mich.—According to J. H. McGillivray, deputy state forestry warden, there are 48,000 deer in Michigan—44,000 in the upper peninsula and 4,000 in the northern part of the area south of the strait of Mackinac. Mr. McGillivray says there are known to be thirty-four moose in the state. He estimates the number of wild animals and birds, other than deer, as follows: Rabbitts, 2,500,000; raccoon, 50,000; mink, 70,000; foxes, 100,000; polecats, 170,000; otters, 18,000; beavers, 8,000; bears, 5,000; partridges, 500,000. He suggests that hunting in the southern peninsula be prohibited for five years and that at the close of that period the killing of deer be restricted to those with moose. It is the purpose of the state game and forestry warden's department to introduce the ringed neck pheasant in Michigan. This bird was loosed in New York several years ago for the first time, and it has now so multiplied that the legislature contemplates an open season for it. The pheasant will be established in Michigan in the game refuges, provision for the institution of which was made by the last legislature. Private individuals have donated considerable money and much land for the establishment of breeding places. Ray T. Bailey, Phar D. DRUGGIST 11th and New York Ave. N.W.
