The Bee, 1100 Eye St., Washington, D. C. Nearly thirteen hundred delegates faced grand master Edw. H. Morris when he called the seventeenth biennial committee, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows to order Monday morning. The greatest interest centers in the election of officers. The first test vote came Tuesday morning when the Morris forces elected the two secretaries by a vote of seven hundred and ninety-four for the Morris forces as against three hundred and ninety-nine for the Houston-Davis forces. Wednesday another test vote showed the Morris forces in control by a vote of seven hundred and ninety-eight against three hundred and seventy on the adoption of laws.

Scott sent The Bee the above telegraph just as The Bee was going to press, announcing the defeat of the Houston combination. Honor Prof. Weatherless. The Most Worshipful Grand Master, Prof. Nelson E. Weatherless and the officers of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge were highly entertained on the occasion of their annual visit to Widow's Son Lodge No. 7, F. A. A. M., on Thursday evening, September 10. The affair was largely attended and the many speeches from prominent Masons present brought forth a round of applause. The program consisted of two parts, the first being rendered at the Temple at Fifth Street and Virginia Avenue Southeast, and the second taking place at the banquet at Lee's Cafe, 1231 E Street Northwest, and was as follows: Invocation, Rev. Benjamin J. Tyler; address of welcome, Arthur H. Johnson, worshipful master; grand master's address, Prof. Nelson E. Weatherless; report of grand secretary, Samuel B. Hill; response to grand master's address, Past Master Ewell L. Conway, R. W. S. G. W.; part 2, invocation, Rev. Benj. J. Tyler; address, Past Master John E. Smith, R. W. J. G. W.; remarks, Bros. Jesse. H. Mitchell, master Social Lodge No. 1; Past Master George M. Webster; Past Master George E. Jackson, Eureka Lodge No. 5; Edward L. Scott, Senior Warden Widow's Son No. 7; Past Master John T. Turner, Widow's Son No. 7, and Bro. Primus H. Simmons, grand marshal. The banquet table was nicely decorated, which added much to the excellent supper served during the speaking. All of the plans and arrangements for the supper and program were made by Doctor James A. Porter, Junior Warden Widow's Son No. 7. Mr. Geo. H. Lee, the well known caterer and proprietor of the Home Cafe, served the banquet in great style. St. Luke Hall. The Bee has just been informed that the St. Luke Hall Association, which is said to own the building at the corner of Thirteenth and U Streets; known as the St. Luke Home, is not a part or in any way connected or under the control of the Independent Order of St. Luke. It is a distinct corporation chartered under the laws of the District of Columbia. Any outsider can purchase shares in this company. The Bee will look into its history. The Bee is making a series of investigations as to the original organization and conduct of this institution. The general impression has been that it was controlled by the Independent Order of St. Luke. Many will be surprised to know that it is a small co-operation run by a very few people. At a conference held last Monday night a number of delegates met and endorsed Mrs. Julia H. Hayes for District Deputy and Mr. M. M. Peace for associate deputy. Mr. Peace is a man who understands thoroughly fraternal work and is an ex-member of the legislature of North Carolina. The Bee will advocate a St. Luke Home, indeed and in fact, to which all St. Luke lodges shall hold meetings. Mrs. Anderson and Rev Garner take notice. LINCOLN ARCH. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Dedicates Senator Clapp and Mr. Macfarl land Speak. The Lincoln memorial arch at the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, was dedicated Tuesday with appropriate exercises under the auspices of the fifteenth anniversary memorial commission appointed by the Woman's Con- vention, auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, held last week in Philadelphia. The principal speakers were Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, and former District Commissioner Henry B. F Macfarland. Senator Clapp reviewed the work of Lincoln in behalf of the colored race, and Mr. Macfarland said that such institutions as the National Training School for Women and Girls gave the colored race new hope. Washington should have the best of everything, he declared, and, therefore, should have the best schools for the training of colored women and girls in domestic science, nursing, gardening, and similar vocations. He highly complimented Miss Nannie M. Burroughs, founder and president of the school. The dedicatory address was delivered by William Harrison, of Oklahoma. Others taking part in the program included D. E. C. Morris, of Arkansas; Ophelia Parker, and M. Helen Adams, and the Rev. W. T. Haves, of New York. MEN WHO LOOK WELL. Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, the sage of politicians. R. R. Horner continues to practice law. James Harry Smith, the sage of equity lawyers. Royal H. Hughes wore a smile that will not come off. Andrew J. Thomas continues in the theatrical lead. Prof. Montgomery, the idol of the teaching corps. Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce, modern Tallyran. Mr. J. Finley Wilson at the West Hotel living well. R. W. Thompson will some day increase in size. Gains Freedom Through Colored Lawyer and Bondsman. From Illinois Idea. Attorney Geo. W. Blackwell was retained by Mr. Frank Rapp to secure his release from imprisonment in the Bridewell, where he was serving two sentences, one for a term of a year and the other a year with a $500 fine. He had already tried to gain his freedom through the brains of two prominent white lawyers, but they both had failed to have him released. Mr. Blackwell discovered a technical point that had never been raised in the courts of this State or in any other State, and convinced the judges of the appellate court of Illinois that his reasoning was correct according to the common law; whereupon a supersedeas was granted by the court and the defendant admitted to bail until a new trial, can be had next year. Mr. Fred Slaughter, a popular colored business man of Chicago, now proprietor of the Maple Leaf Club, scheduled $40,000 in real estate and personal estate to cover the bond. Mr. Rapp's friends seemed spellbound to know that a colored man could schedule the property for the bond. Repairing Their Church. The Israel Metropolitan Colored M. E. Church at. First and B Streets Southwest is at present undergoing repairs to the extent, when finished, will reach $4,000. This historic church, under the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. W. H. Nelson, is moving on in great harmony and is accomplishing great things. The great majority—and in fact all of the reliable and responsible members—are helping Dr. Nelson to put the church in better condition, both spiritually and financially, than it has been for many years. Dr. Nelson is a drawing card. His great sermons each Sabbath brings in some new visitors who are always welcome. Special Sermon! Special Sermon! Subject, "Hand of God in Present European War," Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock, September 20, at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, on Twenty-ninth Street between O Street and Dumbarton Avenue Northwest. Come and hear Rev. W. C. Thompson on this special and timely subject Sunday morning. Take Georgetown cars on either line, get off at Twenty-ninth Street, and walk a few steps to the church.

Mrs. Clark said to him, if he never studied her work and never saw or heard her teach and knew nothing about the work he was incompetent to mark. He was charged with having used bad English. There is nothing to be done but to remove Saunders for the good of the service. He was also charged to his face with having talked about and abused his superintendent to teachers.

Playground Exhibit Beginning Monday, September 14, there was held each day for one week from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., a general exhibition of playground work executed by white and colored pupils of the District of Columbia in the large assembly room, second floor, of the Carnegie Library, located at Seventh and K Northwest. Colored citizens, especially of the northwest section of the city, are requested to show interest by viewing the work exhibited there by the children of the Howard Playground. A special feature of the work done, which obtained on no other playground, was the free brush art work. The necessity for playgrounds is being realized by municipal and State governments each year, as indicated by their efforts to provide and equip P new grounds. Work executed by the colored children particularly should be carefully scrutinized by parents in order to critically compare the efficiency and results obtained by those in charge of their children. The Howard Playground has had an average attendance during the past season of over 500 a day. Industrial classes averaged 30 children daily. The playground is splendidly equipped with apparatus and in addition will shortly be provided with a splendid eighty-foot swimming pool. During the past season the work has been under the direction of W. S. Duffield with Miss S. Hall and Mr. Sadwar as assistants. BANQUET Tendered Grand Master Weatherless at Home Cafe—Speeches, Etc. Widows' Son Lodge No. 7, F. A. A. M., entertained Grand Master Nelson E. Weatherless and others at its last regular meeting Thursday evening, September 10. A banquet was tendered him at Lee's Home Cafe, 1231 E Street Northwest, and a large gathering assembled at the Masonic Temple, Fifth and Virginia Avenue Southeast. At the banquet at Lee's Home Cafe the principal speakers were: Messrs. N. E. Weatherless, E. L. Conway, J. G. W. Smith and Arthur Johnson. It was a first-class service, which is known that Mr. Lee can serve. The W. C. T. U. Greenwood, S. C., September 24.

A very pretty, select, private wedding took place at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church, Atlantic City, N. J., September 1, at 3 p. m., when Miss Lelia Ethlyn Fitzgerald of that city and Mr. David Benjamin Williams of Washington, D. C., were married. The bride was given in marriage by her father, Mr. B. G. Fitzgerald. The Rev. Dr. Deaver officiated. Miss Estella Fitzgerald, maid of honor: Miss Moore, of Richmond, Va., and Miss Credit, of Baltimore, Md., were bridesmaids. The bridegroom's attendants were Mr. John A. Nelson, of Baltimore, best man. Mr. Jay Clifford, of Washington, D. C.; Mr. Robert Harlan, Washington, D. C.; Mr. L. H. Fisher, Washington, D. C.; Mr. Pete Peters, of Washington, D. C., acted as ushers. After the reception the couple and their party left for Washington, D. C. They will be at home to their friends after October 1, 1914, at 1412 Seventeenth Street Northwest. IS IT GRAFT? Independent Order of St. Luke's—The St. Luke's Hall Association—What It Means—Will There Be, An Expose? There is brewing in the Independent Order of St. Luke's some very unpleasant things. It is claimed that the attempt on the part of the Anderson-Garner combination to defeat Mrs. Julia H. Hayes for District Deputy will expose to public light a great deal of graft. The St. Luke's Hall Association is in no wise connected with the Independent Order of St. Luke's. The houses that were recommended to be purchased were never purchased. This association is in no wise connected with the St. Luke's and it is only a subterfuge to keep the hall rented to the several orders that were organized by Mrs. Hayes. Mrs. Anderson was made by Mrs. Hayes to declare that she will not support her or any one she may nominate. If there is any attempt on the part of this combination to defeat Mrs. Hayes and to keep Mrs. Anderson in office, a great deal of smothered records will come to light. A certain official connected with the St. Luke's is charged with having changed the age limit of a certain dead member and many draw from the treasury. This matter has been threatened to be presented to the Grand Jury. Mrs. Walker will be compelled to recommend certain changes for the benefit of the organization. Mrs. Hayes will be elected district deputy. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, R. W. Grand Secretary and Treasurer of the Order of St. Luke, accompanied by Mrs. Emaline Johnson, grand secretary of the Juvenile Department, were the guests of Mrs. Julia H. Hayes Tuesday and Thursday of this week. Mrs. Walker was here on business. She is one of the most brilliant women in the United States and a woman who is doing something. Insects will never attack books which are dusted once a year with powdered alum and white pepper. Three parts of alum should be used to one of pepper. COLORED MAN IN POLITICS More Light and Wiadom Wanted— An Appeal for Advice. Just what to do just now in politics and just how to do it seems to be one among the chief questions which at the present time awaits the colored man's solution. Will some brave and wise colored man please advise and counsel, in the midst of the terrible political and economic chaos and night of the times, the wise and righteous political step for the colored people to take? Oh, do please let some well advised, some well-informed colored man speak. And remember, "ten million colored people are waiting." Would it be wise to investigate the whole field of politics, with the end in view of ascertaining which political party extant is best qualified to cure the very serious economic and political ills from which we all suffer? Are the principles of any of the existing political parties deep enough and righteous enough to establish and maintain a condition of peace, plenty and happiness for the human race on the earth? Are any of the political parties now existing making a rational and serious effort to bring about the establishment of "Peace on earth and good will among men." If so, then, which political party is making this effort and how? What is wrong with the existing economic and political system and what is the remedy? In these days of political ostracism and general economic unrest and uncertainty, where is the colored philosopher and leader of men who will kindly step forward and direct the ten million waiting colored people out of the existing economic and political wilderness? The writer would be very pleased to hear from some colored man with reference to the above inquiries and suggestions, from some colored man whose experience and intellectual equipment and ethical nature are such as to authorize the expression of an opinion on these questions, from some colored man who is interested in and who hopes for and who works for the economic and political peace, welfare and happiness of all the people, without regard to race or color or creed or kindred or tongue or existing or previous condition. A Good Congregation Absurd. "It is a rare thing for a colored congregation to erect a new edifice; they generally buy some abandoned white church." The above sentence is taken from an editorial in the Washington, Sun of last week. Perhaps the writer did not intend an insinuation or reflection upon the many members of the congregations worshipping in what he pleases to style "abandoned white churches." The statement does not only reflect upon the members of these congregations, but upon many others; for a very large number of the best and most substantial citizens of the District—especially in the northwest section—are either renting or buying homes formerly occupied by white people. Are they to be referred to as living in "abandoned white property?" The house in which the writer scribbled this editorial was formerly occupied by a white family. Many of the people of these congregations worshipping in "abandoned white churches" subscribe for and read the Sun, but I dare say that they will not enjoy running across sentences that reflect upon them. W. A. TAYLOR. Pastor Florida Avenue Baptist Church. So far as The Bee is concerned it has the highest opinion of every member of the well known and progressive church and Dr. Taylor in particular. Were it not for many abandoned white person's property, the Sun, included, would be sleeping beneath the sod. The record that this church has made should not disturb its alleged traducers.—Ed. Prof. J. T. Layton The friends of Prof. John T. Layton, who has been such a successful musical director, are glad to learn he is to receive what he has been entitled to since the school law went into effect. There is not a more competent musical director in the United States than Prof. Layton. He has been suffering with a throat affliction during the past summer, but he is now himself again. Dr. W. L. Smith. Dr. W. L. Smith, the well known pharmacist, Fourth and Elm Streets Northwest, is doing a thriving business at his same old stand. He has restocked his store with first-class goods, and, if you want guaranteed indigestion cure and the best skin tonic on the market, you should not fail to call or send for sample. His remedies are all guaranteed, and if they are not what he represents them to be, money is refunded. CARSON RECRUITS ULSTER FOR WAR TRADE SHOWS A BIG DROP. Decrease In Totals For August Amount to $165,000,000—Large Part of This Loss Falls on Germany—Unemployed In England Decreased Since Outbreak of War. London. Sir Edward Carson is working hard in efforts to induce his Uistermen to undertake some real fighting Sir Edward has been in Uister addressing meetings of the Uister volunteers in the interest of the recruiting campaign. This has been his first public appearance since the beginning of the war. In a speech at Belfast a few days ago he told the Uister volunteers that if enough of them enlisted for active service they would go to the front as a division of their own, under their old officers. He said. "England's difficulty is not Ulster's opportunity. England's difficulty is our difficulty. And England's sorrow has always been and always will be ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. SIR EDWARD CARSON. our sorrow. Go and help to save your country and your empire. Go and win honors for Ulster and for Ireland." Similar sentiments have been the burden of several other speeches, but he has generally reiterated also his detestation of home rule and his opposition to the government as a political party. So far the response of the Ulster volunteers to the recruiting appeals has not been large, but it is generally held that they will be. The effect of the war on British trade is seen in the board of trade returns for August. Imports compared with the corresponding month last year show a decrease of upward of $65,000,000, while exports have fallen-off nearly $100,000,000 The imports of sugar have dropped more than $7,500,000, of which the loss of $4,000,000 falls on Germany. Manufactured articles show a decrease of $42,500,000 in the value of imports. In exports coal is down $10,000,000 and manufactured articles $75,000,000. Of the latter $12,500,000 was lost on ships and war munitions and $30,000,000 on cotton and woolen fabrics. It is polished out by the board of trade that the decrease in exports is due largely to the fact that certain classes of exports are prohibited during wartime. The return issued by the board of trade shows that the growth of unemployment has virtually stopped. In the trades where insurance against unemployment is enforced the percentage of unemployment is 6.24 compared with 3.34 last year. The number of persons seeking employment at labor bureaus has actually fallen off, but it is still about double what it was a year ago. Recruiting, which is proceeding at an amazing rate, accounts somewhat for this, particularly in the north and in the mining districts. Recruits are applying in such numbers that at some places it has been decided to close the recruiting offices for a week. Prices of food show little change, and this is due more to increased freight and insurance rates than to shortage of supplies. Meat and fish are arriving in almost normal quantities. The saloons of London are closed hours earlier than usual. At Hull, Chatham and other places, where many sailors are congregated, they have been closed entirely, while in other provincial towns the hours for remaining open have been abandoned. Colonel W. E. Gordon of the Gordon highlanders is among the officers reported missing in France. Colonel Gordon gained the Victoria Cross in the Boer war by going out under heavy fire and attaching a rope to a gun which was in danger of being captured. With his men he was wounded in trying to drag the gun to safety. INCREASE SIZE OF DEPOSITS. Would Amend Postal Savings Bank Law to Meet Demands. Washington.--One of the bills now in congress that are being held up by the press of business due largely to the war in Europe and that are of peculiar interest to all sections of the country is the bill to amend the postal savings bank law. At present the bill is in conference, and when it will come out can only be conjectured. Alexander M. Dockery, third assistant postmaster general, who has taken great interest in the measure, had this to say about it recently, but that was before the war clouds broke in Europe and when the prospects of a speedy passage into law were brighter than now: "With the final passage of this bill so that depositors may put in $1,000 at one time I anticipate a big jump in the total deposits under this system. The deposits now aggregate approximately $13,000,000." Under existing laws persons can deposit not more than $100 in any one month and are limited to a deposit of $500. TO SELL PEACE BUTTONS. Boy Scouts to Have Charge of Circulating Petitions. Cleveland, O. — "America Wants World Peace" is the inscription on small buttons circulated by Boy Scouts of America. Thomas D. West, promoter of the same Fourth movement and instigator of the peace badge which the members of the Cleveland Woman's club have been making in their club rooms, decided to use buttons instead of the ribbon badges to create world peace sentiment: The ribbon badges are changed from the form of a cross into a rosette on which the button will be plumed. These are sold to women, while the men are solledt with the undecorated button. In addition to the sale of buttons, Mr. West is also pressing the boy scouts into the service of circulating petitions deploring the European war. Mr. West will have the petitions circulated throughout the United States. GOLD OUTPUT IN AMERICA IS LARGE California Breaks All Records Except One Since 1864. Washington. The value of the output of recoverable gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc from mines in California in 1913, according to Charles G. Yale of the United States geological survey, was $26,812,489, an increase of $428,543 over the 1912 production. All the metals except zinc showed an increased yield, although the ore treated was less in quantity, and there were fewer mines reporting a production than in 1912. The total recoverable value of gold from California in 1913 was $20,406.958, of which the deep mines produced $11,570,781, or 56.7 per cent. The total increase in the gold production was $603,480, of which $502,966 was in the yield from deep mines. The gold production was larger than in any other year except one since 1864. This great output was due entirely to the operations of the dredging companies and the larger deep mines, as the number of mines operated in 1913 was 245 less than in 1912. Of the gold recovered from placer mines the gold dredges reported $8,000,294, which was nearly 92 per cent of the total state yield in 1913. Since the commencement of gold dredging in California, fifteen years ago, the gold recovered from this source has amounted to $63,505,485. Most of this large yield has been derived from ground which could not have been mined profitably under any of the old methods of gravel mining. The 410 deep mines sold or treated 2,495,958 tons of a decrease of 145,539 tons compared with 1912. Most of the siliceous ore, which amounted to 2,031,429 tons, was treated at gold and silver mills, yielding an average recovery of $5.61 a ton in gold and silver. The 448,439 tons of copper had a recoverable value of $1.84 a ton in gold and silver and $11.74 in copper. The 14,267 tons of lead ore treated had a recoverable value of $11.25 in gold and silver and $23.11 for all metals. The zinc ore shipped in 1913 amounted to 1,823 tons, which was considerably less than in 1912. RESTORE PRISONERS' RATING System of Leniency Works Well In United States Army Prison. Leavenworth, Kan.—Forty-one prisoners at the United States military prison have been restored to the colors under the system now in vogue at the institution. The latest general prisoner to be "graduated" from the disciplinary battalion is Arthur Gan, who was serving a short term of a charge of desertion. The new system of restoring minor offenders back to duty, providing they desire to erase the black mark against them and save the disgrace of dishonorable discharge, is proving a success in every way. Unitas Ten Elopers in Day. Bristol. Tenn.-Fifteen marriages in three days is the record of the Rev. A. H. Burroughs of the Bristol Gretna Green. He married five couples of young elopers from Virginia in one day, four with one ceremony. He has married nearly 5,000 couples. SEES DOWNFALL OF GERMAN TRADE BUT THE KERNEL IS SOUND. Unhappy Situation Is Admitted Freely, and Problems of Reconstruction Are Discussed—Forcesight and Great Expenditures Needed to Restore Trade to Normal Footing. Copenhagen.—The Berlin Vossische Zeltung discusses the extent to which German industry already has been hit by the war. Dr. Emil Lederer, the writer, says that the removal of all men capable of bearing arms has "amashed industry to atoms." All links uniting various trades have been broken. The crisis with regard to money and credit which occurred in the first instance was accentuated by the necessity of financing the war by a single stroke. The attempts made to meet the crisis by liquidating assets only made matters worse. The unfortunate thing, he says, is that this liquidation, which is customary at all crises, does not in the present instance affect merely a small body of speculators, but expresses the fact that German industry and its production are on a fictitious basis. Complete transformation. Dr. Lederer says, is necessary in order to cope with the new conditions brought about by the war. At present there is little sign of this. We see the apparent paradox, says Dr. Lederer, that in spite of increasing absorption for military purposes of men capable of working there is an increase of unemployment among those that remain behind. Even the much sought after labor of women cannot find employment. Day after day undertakings shut down or their output is diminished. Those, indeed, which continue at work are working with almess overpressure because of uncertainty, so the net output is diminished. What, asks Dr. Lederer, are the decisive economic facts? Does the complete breakup of industry which threatens Germany involve a disruption also of agriculture and the supply of necessaries? The war means for Germany, first, the prevention of exports, especially articles of luxury; second, prevention of imports of means of subsistence, especially raw materials such as cotton and copper; third, reduction of demand of all at the front and restriction of demand of those remaining at home. There no longer is any demand for articles of luxury. Against these facts, which apparently involve the gloomiest possible outlook for the near future, Dr. Lederer says, must be set others equally decisive. Germany has had a remarkably good harvest, so on the whole the purchasing power of the agricultural industry is relatively big. The same thing applies to industries which supply the needs of the army and other public purposes. The problem is to use this purchasing power in such a way as to revive all those branches which supply the needs of the above mentioned industries. The question is how to build around the sound kernel. It will require fore-sight and perhaps great expenditures, for forces which could bring about this reorganization automatically do not exist. It must be remembered, Dr. Lederer says, first, that the amount of available labor is considerably reduced; secondly, available raw materials probably will not be sufficient for a long time; thirdly, the needs of private industry have during the war undergone considerable diminution and change. These facts must first be recognized. Then a system plan of reconstruction must be up with the help of chambers, commerce and similar organization the writer concludes by recommen- the formation of a central permanent committee representing all interests under control of the ministry of the interior to see what can be done. This is the first German article received here which admits the unhappy situation of German industry. The future will show whether the time honored expedient of appointing a committee of inquiry will compensate for the economic unsoundness of foundations wherecon it rests. RECORD LAYING HENS. Missourian Pina His Faith on Thirteen Rhode Island Reds. King City, Mo. - R A. Holmes, a travelling salesman of this place, has a small stock of poultry - which he be helies holds the season's record for laying eggs. At his home in the west part of town Holmes has thirteen Rhode Island Red hens that have laid 800 eggs in the five months from March 1 to Aug. 1. In addition to the laying, four of the hens have set and raised broods of chickens. Ice In This Mine Never Melts. Virginia, Minn. The Norman mine of this city has the distinction of having drifts in which the ice never thaws. Drafts through the underground galleries produce a temperature in one drift which never goes above the freezing point. Other range mines are also cool underground, but few have drifts in which the ice never thaws. LOST RING ODDLY FOUND. After Many Years on Old U. S. S. Constellation, as Owner Predicted. Washington.—Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, vouches for this story, which is given herewith as it was prepared by one of Mr. Daniels' aids: · When it was announced recently that the historic sailing ship Constellation was to be overhauled, preparatory to taking part in the celebration at Baltimore of the centennial anniversary of "The Star Spangled Banner," the secretary of the navy received a letter from Mrs. Rosa Kenney Whinston of Windsor, N. C., which stated that her father, Dr. Kenney, had served on the Constellation during and after the civil war and in the course of his service had lost a ring given to him by her mother. He had always said that the ring would never be found until the ship was overhauled at a navy yard. She requested that a watch be kept in case the ring should be discovered. The commandant at the Norfolk navy yard was notified accordingly and has just forwarded to the navy department the ring, which has been recovered after these many years. It was found under the iron covering plates of the anchor bits on the gun deck forward and has been sent to Mrs. Winston. PEANUT FARM PROFITABLE. Total Yield In Oklahoma Is Worth Thousands of Dollars. Oklahoma City. Although planting of peanuts has been delayed to some extent by the heavy rains, the reports that are received from many sections of the state where peanuts are being grown are highly encouraging, and it is expected that the total yield this year will be greater than that of last year by half. The soil throughout the state is in such excellent condition that there will be a great amount of late planting, which will make splendid yields, and in sections of the state where cotton and other crops have been seriously damaged by the heavy rains, and where replanting of those crops is likely to prove a losing venture, it has been suggested that peanuts be planted, as they will thrive in weather conditions that would prove detrimental to other crops.

Berlin.—One of the accompaniments of the European war which could, under less serious conditions, be a fair subject for amusing comment, is the sudden rage that has manifested itself against everything English, French and Russian. This feeling has reached such a pitch that French and English pictures have been withdrawn from public view at the Berlin museums. In the Kaiser Friedrich museum priceless old books, with wood engravings by Gustave Dore, have been withdrawn. Following the declaration of war by Great Britain groups paraded the main streets and made demonstrations before shops with offending signs. Many American firms, which advertised branches in Paris and London, suffered. At Lelpziger and Friedrich streets stands the Equitable Life Assurance company's building. Its first two floors sheltered the Equitable cafe, but this became the "Zielka cafe." The movement is being carried to such ridiculous lengths that prominent newspapers are now declaring Germans should stop saying "adieu" upon parting, a salutation that has been in use since the eighteenth century. 1,000 ACRES OF PEPPERMINT. On Same Farm Are Also 540 Acres of Sugar Beets. Leslie, Mich.-Lewis S. Marshall and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Benjamin say they gained more practical knowledge of farming from their trip to the Owosso sugar-beet farm than they did at the state fair. They found 350 houses for the employees, all on the farm and all just alike. They have their own school, church and postoffice. Two of the largest peppermint distilleries in the world extract the essence from the mint grown on 1,000 acres, and besides, there are 540 acres of sugar beets, 100 acres of cabbage, 100 of alfalfa, 40 of wheat, 200 of corn, 10 of carrots, 130 of barley, 20 of blue top turnips, 7 of horseradish, 500 of hay, 1,000 of pasture and stock to carry on the work of this immense farm. NEW POEM BY TENNYSON. Son Quoted Hitherto Unpublished Verse About War. London — Lord Tennyson, son of the poet, at a patriotic meeting quoted the following hitherto unpublished poem of his father: Oh, who is he, the simple fool. Who says that wars are over? What bloody portent flashes there Across the strait of Dover? Are you ready, Britons all. To answer yes with thunder? Arm! Arm! Arm! Nine hundred thousand slaves in arms They seek to bring us under. But England lives and still will live. For we'll crush the despot yonder. Are you ready, Britons all, To answer foes with thunder? Arm! Arm! Arm! KIPLING APPEAL STIRS ENGLAND "MEN AND MEN" NOW NEEDED Author Declares That England Is Germany's Real Objective—If Kaiser's Campaign Should Be Successful Britain Would Cease to Exist as a Nation, He Says in Speech. London.—"It is not conceivable that we should fall. If we do fall the lights of freedom go out over the whole world." This was the statement of Rudyard Kipling, the author, in a stirring address to a mass meeting at Brighton. The meeting was presided over by the lord mayor of Brighton, seconded by Herbert Samuel, president of the local government board. Mr. Kipling said: "Through no fault nor wish of ours we are at war with Germany, the power which owes its existence to three well thought out wars; the power which for the last twenty years has devoted itself to organizing and preparing for this war; the power which is now fighting to conquer the civilized world. "For the last two generations the Germans in their books, lectures, speeches and schools have been carefully taught: that nothing less than this world conquest was the object of [Image of a man with a mustache and glasses, wearing a suit and tie.] BUDYARD KIPLING. their preparations and their sacrifices. They have prepared carefully and sacrificed greatly. "We must have men and men and men if we, with our allies, are to check the onrush of organized barbarism. "Have no illusions. We are dealing with a strong and magnificently equipped enemy, whose avowed aim is our complete destruction. "The violation of Belgium, the attack on France and the defense against Russia are only steps by the way. The Germans' real objective, as she has already told us, is England and England's wealth, trade and worldwide possessions. "If you assume for an instant that that attack will be successful England will not be reduced, as some people say, to the rank of a second rate power, but we shall cease to exist as a nation. We shall become an outlying province of Germany, to be administered with what severity German safety and interest require. "We arm against such a fate. We enter into a new life, in which all the facts of war that we had put behind or forgotten for the past hundred years have returned to the front and test us as they tested our fathers. It will be a long and hard road, beset with difficulties and discouragements, but we tread it together, and we will tread it together to the end." "Our petty social divisions and barriers have been swept away at the outset of our mighty struggle. All the interests of our life of six weeks ago are dead. We have but one interest now, and that touches the naked heart of every man in this island and in the empire. "If we are to win the right for ourselves and for freedom to exist on earth, every man must offer himself for that service and that sacrifice, while the state sees to it that his dependents do not suffer. "There is no middle way in this war. We do not doubt our ultimate victory any more than we doubt the justice of our cause. It is not conceivable that we should fall, for if we fail the lights of freedom go out over the whole world "They may glimmer for a little in the western hemisphere, but a Germany dominating half the world by sea and land will most certainly extinguish them in every quarter where they have hitherto shone upon mankind so that even the traditions of freedom will pass out of remembrance. If we do our duty we shall not fall." FOREIGN BORN IN U. S. Over 13,000,000 Persons of Foreign Birth In This Country Today. Washington. A special bulletin issued by the department of commerce shows that there were 13,515,880 persons of foreign birth living in the United States when the last census closed in 1910. These figures show an increase of approximately 3,500,000 over the number of foreigners residing here in 1900. The increasing ratio is slightly in excess of the general increase in population. Approximately 10 per cent of this foreign born population live in New York. The census statistics show that 1,221,013 took up permanent residences in New York, although only 175,000 have become citizens of the United States. Pennsylvania ranks second as a permanent abode of foreigners, with 741,000. The majority of these people are miners. Illinois has a foreign population of 204,000 and Massachusetts has 452,000. Germans represented more than one-fifth of the entire foreign population. There were 2,501,181 Germans scattered through the country. The tremendous Russian immigration during the last decade places the czar's acts in second place with 1,600. Italy was third with 1,343,000, and land, which formerly led the list, in fourth place with 1,353,000. There were 1,174,000 Austrian this country and 376,455 English.

C.-The Na Geographic society has issued a ment on the probable effect of the ama canal on the commercial-raphy of the world. It says: "It seems that the Panama will carry most of the freight pr between the eastern coast of the ed States and the western coa Latin-America and that the sl distance and lower rates which fers will greatly increase that that the trade between the easter western sections of the United $ will be greatly increased and ported at a much lower charg on; that it will sufficiently al the distances to Japan, nor China, Australia and New Zeala increase steamship service and ternally increase the traffic with countries, and that the European tries will use the canal in mo their traffic with western Americi in exceptional cases, with not Asia, Australia and New Zealand "The canal has shortened routes between New York and hama by 3,750 miles; between bama by 3,750 miles; between York and Shanghai, about 2,000 miles; between New York and Australia, about 3,000 miles, and between New York and western South America by from 3,500 to 7,000 miles. It also reduces the distance from Europe to western South America by more than 5,000 miles. International commerce doubled in the thirty years following the opening of the Nuez canal and business and personal interrelationship between the invident and orient was increased in like proportion. Will similar results follow the like shortening of trade and travel routes by the Panama canal? "One of the most important results of the opening of the canal will doubt less be found in its effect upon the movements of merchandise between the eastern and western sections of the United States. The data at hand seems to justify an estimate of about 3,000,000 tons per annum of freight moved by rail and about half a million tons by water from the Atlantic coast section to the Pacific coast section and about an equal amount from the Pacific coast section and Hawaii to the Atlantic coast section. The freight charges on these 7,000,000 tons are estimated at from $250,000,000 to $300,000,000 per annum. The canal will chop huge amounts from these charges." Hen Identifies Owner In Court. Hen identifies owner in Court. Trenton, N. J. The saying that chickens always come home to roost was verified in court here when Betty, a pet hen, flew across the courtroom and into the outstretched arms of Patrick McGlone. McGlone was arrested while carrying the chicken, as a policeman thought he had stolen it. The defendant was released after the hen had demonstrated her affection for him. CAUGHT FISH WITH EAR. California Angler Evolves Unique Method of Landing Trout. San Bernardino. Cal.-There are divers ways of catching a trout. Most fishermen go about it with a hook, some catch them with nets and others with dynamite, but there has been found a man who does the stunt with an car and gets away with it. This may sound fishy, but it is the gospel truth, according to the story brought in from Deep creek. Jay Petlers of Victorville alternated fishing for trout in Deep creek by taking swims in the cold water, and that is the way that he demonstrated that the human ear can sometimes catch more than mere sound. A few days after he left Deep creek he was troubled with acute pains in his ear. Dr. Murphy examined the auditory cavity and after prodding around found a tiny mountain trout. The fish was dead. The pain in Petler's ear was almost instantly relieved. He is at a loss to know whether the fish entered his ear or it became the lodging place for some spawn and served as a hatchery. WASH HENRY IRVING'S FACE Actresses Win Bobbies' Praise by Cleaning Status. London. - Two young repertory actresses yearning for excitement after long weeks of resting determined the other night to wash the face of Sir Henry Irving's statue, which stands behind the National gallery. Armed with soft soap and a bucket of water and accompanied by a photographer they started operations on Sir Henry at 2 o'clock in the morning. Just as Sir Henry's face was beginning to take a nice polish the expected policeman strolled up. The statue scrubbers tried to look unconcerned, and the photographer primed his flash lamp. "What are you doing?" inquired the policeman. "Washing Sir Henry's face," came the defiant reply simultaneously from the workers. "Capital, capital; just what it wanted?" was the unexpected reply. The Hague.-Sensational stories in German newspapers during the first days of the war, such as the report of a French physician's trying to infect a well in Alsace with typhoid bacillus, were secured by the German army officials with a view of stirring people to watchfulness. Stories like that of the infected well were widely published. Lakes all over the country were being poisoned. Russian automobiles carrying a great quantity of gold were trying to cross Germany to France. The whole country was swarming with spies. These stories, generally believed, led to the shooting of many innocent persons, including one German army captain. The chief of police in Stuttgart issued the following official statement to his men, showing the effect of these sensational stories: "The populace is beginning to become crazy." The street are full of old women of both sexes who conduct themselves in an unworthy manner. Every one sees in his neighbor a French or Russian spy and considers it his duty to beat him, together with the policeman who tries to protect him, or, at least, to cause a tremendous crowd to collect and hand the supposed spy over to the police. Clouds are mistaken for aviators, stars for airships, bicycle pumps for bombs. Telephone and telegraph wires in the middle of the city are believed to have been cut, bridges blown up, spies shot and the water supply poisoned. It is impossible to predict what form these extravagances will assume when the situation becomes really more earnest. As a matter of fact, not a single suspicious thing has thus far occurred in Stuttgart. "The police should continue cool. Be men and not old women. Do not let yourselves be duped, but keep your eyes open, as it is your duty to do." BLIND BOY A STENOGRAPHER. Bert Cutting Wins Distinction by Reproducing Speech In Shorthand. Indianapolis, Ind.-Bett Cutting; nineteen years old, who has been totally blind for years, has won distinction for himself by reproducing in shorthand a speech made by Governor Ralston. Cutting became blind as a result of typhoid fever and other maladies. Being otherwise in good health, he wished to earn a living and hit upon shorthand writing as an occupation. He uses a mechanical device instead of taking the usual notes. By this method words are spelled out in print. Cutting believes he is the first blind person in the world to do this kind of work for a livelihood.

In another column of The Bee this week will be seen and read with interest a communication from John W. Gaines, Esq., one of the best known lawyers in the West. The writer is asking for advice and the proper man to lead the 12,000,000 of colored Americans. That is to say, he wants to know where colored Americans should go in politics on account of present existing political conditions in this country. It would seem to The Bee that no advice should be needed on this subject, and no advice should have ever been asked. If the action of the Democratic party towards the colored American is not sufficient to convince all colored Americans where they should go and what party they should support, a sharp pointed sword and a dull edge ax directed at the heart of the colored American will not open their eyes. What more advice do the colored voters want? If present conditions will not change and convince the colored Americans they are insane and if they are insane they should be caged and confined in a mad house and kept there until their sanity has been restored. Certainly Mr. Gaines must be ignorant of present conditions and he doesn't seem to be by the questions he asks. As to the leader, the colored Americans have had so many alleged leaders who have been bribed by being appointed to office only to disgrace them. Of course there are a few honorable exceptions. There has only been one colored American among the new leadership, whoever had the tenacity to run his office like a white man and as he saw fit to run it. As a rule colored men in office cater to the most incompetent white employees under them to the detriment of their own people. Colored men in office have no opinion of their own. They more or less cater to their subordinate white chiefs. Negro leadership has been a gigantic failure because weak men have been appointed to office and if their appointment had been left to the 12,000,000 The Bee is confident that many who have held office and are holding them would be elected to oblivion. Not only has Republican colored leadership been a failure, but alleged colored Democratic leadership has been a mockery and blot upon civilization. What political party has made an effort for peace and the advancement of colored Americans? And whose fault is it today that colored Americans are in such a humiliating condition? The Bee would suggest to Mr. Goines to read the speech of Representative Madden, of Illinois, delivered in the House of Representatives last June, and extensively commented on in The Bee, September 5th instant. This speech will answer every question of the distinguished lawyer of Arkansas. When Gods existed they were not followed and neither were they treated with any respect. Who made greater sacrifices for his people than the late Frederick Dourlass? Who was a greater friend to the young colored American regardless of color or condition than that eminent statesman and scholar, the late John Mercer Langston. Notwithstanding all that he did for his people and the young Negro not a sufficient number of them could be found to have his portrait painted and placed in the hall of fame at Howard University. Who made greater sacrifices for the colored Americans than the late B. K. Bruce, and not three of the hundreds he placed in office have ever attempted to perpetuate his memory. Speaking of political parties, The Bee takes this opportunity to enlighten the writer that everything the colored American possesses today has been through the direct instrumentality of the Republican party, short as its comings may alleged to have been. Compare its record with all other parties that have existed or exists today, and see if your sheet will balance. The questions of the writer The Bee will not say foolish, because it has too much respect for him, but it does say they are weak. It is not so much of a leader the colored Americans want as it is good common sense. It is not which political party will do the most but which party has done and is doing the most for the colored American. When the colored Americans learn how to support one another and "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's," then and not until then will the colored Americans be in a position to ask sensible questions and do sensible acts. COMING In another column will be found the article referred to in last week's issue, which was omitted for want of space. As intimated last week, the article is well worthy the serious consideration of all thoughtful people of whatever race or color. To those of darker hue, the handwriting is clear, and is explicable under the limelight of the eternal verities and the guidance of race consciousness. Whatever may be said of the past history of the darker races, the fact is impressively manifest that they are now wide awake and are fast adapting themselves to the latest approved modern social adjustments. Recent events in the Orient indicate this in a most emphatic manner, as seen in the attitude of Japan toward Germany and her entente with China. Even in Africa there is a manifest repugnance to and growing spirit of rebellion against the tyranny of European governments; while it has been hinted that the United States must have a care lest the Filipinos take a notion to attempt to throw off the yoke of dependence. Nor is there anything strange or unnatural about this unrest. The extension and ramifications of commercial relations have enlarged and broadened the horizon of the nations of the earth, many of whom have been, until recent years, total strangers to each other. Now the light is dawning that, truly. God made of one blood all the nations of the earth, and that, verily, all men are brothers, and are entitled to and can justly demand treatment as such. It is gradually coming to light that opportunity and environment, being equal, there will be no appreciable difference in development, that color after all is but skin deep and cuts no figure when it comes to spiritual or moral refinements, mental development or social adaptability. When, therefore, the colored races find that opposition is based upon the mere fact of more or less differences in extent of pigmentation, they naturally feel indignant, and that indignance has developed into an attempt more or less organized, to neutralize or destroy color-prejudice, or its effects, in the most complete and satisfactory manner. This may be seen by the most casual observer of recent events. It is not to be wondered at that the Los Angeles Times has called the turn and advised a square deal all round. The irony of the Times' concluding words is something superb. It does seem that some white people would forego their chances for heaven rather than demolish the fetish of color-prejudice! But all the same, natural laws will prevail—and prejudice is not an expression of natural law, but only an institution invented and set in motion under the influence of economic conditions and pride-blown notions of self-assertive and questionable superiority—and this century will see a dispensation of universal fraternity whereby the shadow of color-prejudice will be forever dispelled by the sunlight of a broad, high and noble civilization, characterized by an unending peace and prosperity among all nations and races. NEGRO ARISTOCRACY There seems to be a feeling of unrest among the so-called Negro aristocracy of Washington. There is a fever that has permeated the social atmosphere to such extent that Negro artistocracy so-called has no confidence in its own, and yet at all times it obtains its subsistence from the money earning element in the community. The Bee means by Negro aristocracy those Negroes who have attempted to organize a caste society or a society of alleged select Negroes who live on the earnings of the working classes, and when they have work to be done they ignore their own professionals and mechanics and seek the inferior white workman or the inferior white professionals. The Bee has in view now a large and old established church whose officials ignored the bid of a first-class colored practical mechanic and accepted the bid of a white firm, because it is white, and yet this same church receives all of its support from the colored people. Another case is a colored principal in the colored schools who ignored the bid of a first-class colored mechanic, who offered to give a better guarantee and if his work was not satisfactory he would forfeit what he had done and allow the party to select any other firm satisfactory to him. The white firm which gave no guarantee got the job. Four deaths occurred within the last three or four months among the so-called Negro aristocracy and in every case the Negro executor or administrators secured the services of a second-class white lawyer. The Bee is aware that these same Negro executors and administrators are the associates and companions of some of the leading members of the bar. There are a few honorable exceptions, and in this connection The Bee takes this opportunity in naming one Negro minister, with all of his alleged faults and whatever others may say against him, no better or a more loyal man to all of the professions doesn't exist than the Rev. Wm. J. Howard, of Zion Baptist Church. He believes in his people and while he is a thorough race man, he has the highest respect and consideration for those white people who have consideration for him. Of course there are a few others whose names The Bee will not at present mention, and the reason The Bee selects Rev. Howard is because he is one man who deserves special mention because he is thoroughly loyal on the race question. The Negro pulpit could do a great deal more, and there are others who think of nothing but self, with whom The Bee will deal shortly. THE WHITE FEVER It is so strange that there are so many colored people in this city, some in office and a few in the colored public schools, who are so anxious to get away from their race. It is a shame and a disgrace. The Bee doesn't object to this class desiring to be white so as to be identified with the white race, but The Bee does object to these people associating with colored people and going to colored schools long enough to enable them to secure positions among their people and playing hide-and-go-seek with white people at night, so whenever an opportunity will permit them to do so. If a Negro thinks himself too white to associate with his kind in the day time and while teaching the dark complenioned pupils in the colored schools, he should seek employment from those with whom hetries to associate with clandestinely at night or whenever an opportunity presents itself. Many of this class seem to be affected with the white fever. The Bee is aware of several individuals who have tried for years to get away from their race. Many of them have gone to seed and have become so old and ugly and their usefulness has about terminated. The white people have no respect for such individuals and certainly the colored people don't want them. Some time ago a certain teacher got off a car two squares from where she was teaching and walked to her school to keep the white people on the car in which she was, to keep from seeing her go to a colored school. Many times this same teacher sees her associates in the streets and to keep from speaking to them she wears a white veil. Just what benefit such teachers and individuals derive from sailing under false colors The Bee would like to know. The Negro's the only race in the world who is ashamed of his color and his race. Some individuals would rather be in the company of second-rate white people than to associate with the most refined and cultured colored people. Now, the white people have no respect for such individuals. They are not permitted to come to their homes unless they come in the capacity of a servant. I. FINLEY WILSON The Bee has never had any personal feeling against Mr. J. Finley Wilson, and it has never betrayed a friend. The Bee regrets to see men who have been helped and assisted when in need make personal attacks on him. The attack that has been made on him by the present editor of The Sun is, in the opinion of The Bee, unjustifiable. On or about July 6, 1914, the present editor of The Sun esteemed Mr. Finly highly, and begged Mr. Finley to bring him down to Washington. Not only did he beg Mr. Finley to bring him to this city, but he was assisted otherwise. "Gratitude is the fairest flower that blooms in the human heart, ingratitude is stronger than traitors arms." The Bee extends its hand to a fellow foe. NIGHT SCHOOLS Some one, who it is The Bee is in doubt, waits the night school teachers who have graduated from the Normal School to be subjected to an examination. The Bee is of the opinion that it would be a good thing for the Board of Education to pass an order prohibiting all day teachers or those teachers who have day schools, from teaching night schools. After a teacher has taught all day, it is impossible for him to give satisfaction as a night teacher, When vacancies occur in the night schools they should be given to the Normal graduates. Gentlemen of the Board of Education, what do you think of the suggestion? There is such an order now in existence. HOLD OVERS. The Republican holdovers in office are more dangerous to colored Republicans than Democrats. There are many white Republicans in office more inimical to the retention of colored employees than white Democrats. If the Republican party came into power today you would not find a white Democrat or those who have heretofore identified themselves with the Democratic party. BULL MOOSERS The Bull Moose party to which Republican kickers floated in 1812 died a natural death in Maine last Tuesday. If the Democratic party can get any consolation out of that election The Bee can't see it. The Republican party will win in 1916. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (B) by the Sage of the Potomac.) There just naturally been a whole lot of talk around these diggings that Judge Robert Hebertton Terrell Has got an interest in The Sun; and his frequent "dropping ins" at the Hair Vim Emporium is to make The Sun shine. Now, I don't take no stock in the story. First place, it requires a small outlay of cash to make the Sun shine just enough to cast a shadow, and Judge Robert ain't been known to make any prodigious outlay of cash. I just assume that the judge's visit to Hair Vim parlors is because he's a director in Hair Vim and all directors are supposed to occasionally go over certain transactions of his company. Course, the coming of T. Thomas to take charge of the shining apparatus of The Sun just naturally makes Judge call a little more frequently, cause he and T. Thomas has been friends since away back yander. A director always wants to see how good or how bad the business end of a concern is, and as printed folders some time back announced Judge Roberts as a director in Hair Vim, he's got a right to drop in afore and after dark to go over the books and such likes. The head of Hair Vim is also the front of The Sun, and from his long newspaper experiences, and general advice abilities the Judge may, just innocently, tell how The Sun may be made to shine, while analyzing the ingredients of Hair Vim. Now, just come off of that talk that Judge's frequent visits is cause he's got coin in The Sun. "Nuff sed." \*\*\* Recurring to The Sun reminds me that Finley Wilson's labors was just love's labors lost and nothing more. R. Woody boosted Finley's ability way up, said he was the best ever at the business and editorial end of a newspaper, then while Finley was rustling around in Norfolk and the Hair Vim combination put the skids under him. R. Wordy began to touse up T. Thomas as the real find. Mebbe when T. Thomas discovers that making a Sun shine under a lot of vasaline and other hair preparations is even harder than making the Age meet ends, and let's go of the managerial end, R. Wordy will hunt around for another sacrifice on the altar of journalism. In the meantime The Bee is coming out every week, just as it has been for thirty-four years, and claiming with confidence that it's the only newspaper what's got a circulation. The Sun has changed management afore it cut its first teeth, but the old reliable Bee ain't changed since William Calvin launched her. Zip! \*\* Up in "Quality row" they are doing a little soft peddling gossip about a certain shemale with a propensity to let her tongue run without bit or bridle. It seems, as near as I can get a strangle hold, on the rumor, that a certain lady just naturally talked a little too much about a certain married couple. When the news got to the head of the family, he didn't do a thing but communicate to the gossiping young matron that unless she put the breaks on her tongue and back down on the main line long enough to deny the alleged lies what she had told on the couple, she might have to appear in court to defend herself against a criminal libel suit. Quality row is talking about it and the matron who did the yarning they say just had connition fits when she received the warning. That just reminds me that I have frequently said some of these gossippers ought to be haled up in court now and then as a warning that you can't spread mud over individuals and get away with it every time. I remember Tom Jones once said to me, after he had taken a couple of mint julips at my expense, that a female gossiper was just Sherman's description of war, and the only thing to do to ease them off of their trail was to tell the District Attorney about them, and let him do the rest. Talk is cheap, but now and then you will into a guy what makes it expensive for the gossippers, Gee, but ain't colored drug stores getting thick up in the Eighth Police Precinct? I never could understand why every colored man wants to do the same business what his friend does, and in the same locality. Now, up in that Captain Doyle's precinct there are almost a drug store for every chocolate colored left-over. The result is they are working for the landlord—just selling salts, sulphur, iodine and the "velvet kind" to pay rent. Something is sure to break. If they would drop in some other business, and cart one or two or a half dozen preparatory reservoirs over in parts of the city where they ain't crowded, the proprietors might be able to start a small bank account without standing off the landlord. Hey, there, make up and stop crowding one kind of business into a single block. Do you get me? Just advice without charge, that's all. Old Texas Burleson has had some gilt signs, they tell me, painted and hung up in the new post office building bearing the disquieting legend. "For Colored," and tacked then up over toilet rooms down in the subbasement, chocolate complexioned employees down there who must stand this mean segregation, are expecting R. Wordy to write to the Freeman, how beautifully the colored employees' comforts are being looked after by this administration. R. Wordy is some more apologist. But he has to hold his job. As Jim Cobb once said, "D—n an apologist." But Jeems Cobb ain't saying much now. However, saying nothing ain't nowhere to be compared with excusing segregation. \*\*\* I know at least one colored employee in the Treasury Department who has contracted kidney trouble cause he has to go so far to get to a nice little cellar-segregated toilet room. It's hard work carrying water all over the Treasury Building hunting a sink hole exclusive for old man Ham's family. Rouse mit em! That German for out with segregated toilet rooms and sich. *** It is rumored that Ex-Editor I Finley Wilson will publish another paper. A meeting was held a few days ago in the Stewart Building and plans were suggested for the publication of a new paper by the deposed editor of the Sun. Among those present was Mr. Anderson, of St Luke, and others. Just when the Moon will rise it is not certain; in all probability it will be when the Sun sets. Editor Fortune says that the Sun will never set to make light for the moon. Just how R. Wordy will divide with the Sun and Moon it remains to be seen. Attorney A. W. Gray has some office rooms now. He has gone into the real estate business on a wholesale order. Gus is a polished gentleman and a good fellow whose company is always agreeable. Pleasant Surprise. On Thursday evening, September 10, on his return from his month's vacation at Asbury Park, N. J., Rev. James H. Lee, D. D., and his two daughters were delightfully surprised to greet the following members and friends of the church. Those in the party were: Mrs. Ella Cosey, Mrs. Lucy Thomas, Mrs. Sarah Alexander, Mrs. Louisa T. Holmes, Mrs. Daniel Smith, Mrs. J. I. Loving, Rev. S. Gilmore, Deacon W. J. Robinson, Mrs. Robinson, George Duff, William Brown, Miss Rosa Thornton and Miss Clara Thompson. Origin of "Chautauqua." The word Chautauqua has an interesting history. Long ago when the ancestors of the Senecas came to the margin of this beautiful lake, after a successful hunt, they camped upon its borders for the night. A sudden storm arose. The waves became so high that their camp was jeopardized, and in the confusion a little child was swept away beyond their reach and lost in the lake. Thereafter the lake was known as Chaudauwka (the place where the child was carried away), now Anglicized into its present form, Chautauqua.—Iola Register. It may be of interest to those residing in the northeastern section of the city that at 1410 H Street Northeast may be found an up-to-date barber shop, sanitary in every respect and conducted by a corps of skillful workmen. The shop, which is managed by Mr. L. W. Carroll, is owned by Mrs. F. Erma West, a most highly respected and energetic property owner in the northeast section. Those who appreciate good work under agreeable surroundings will do well to patronize this new establishment. A German notary named Sauter who died recently, made a hobby of collecting fine boots and shoes. At the time of his death he had a museum and so strictly guarded that not even his wife was permitted to enter the room where he kept the collection. Sunday is made for man, and Sunday Schools for those who would be men. There is plenty of room in them for more pupils. VETERAN DIPLOMAT RETIRES. Calvo, Minister From Costa Rica, Quits After Twenty-three Years. Washington—The retirement recently of Don Joaquin Bernardo Calvo as Costa Rican minister to the United States marked the culmination of one of the most remarkable careers in the annals of diplomacy. Benor Calvo was for twenty-three years the representative of Costa Rica in Washington and for many years dean of the diplomatic corps. He first presented credentials to President Harrison in 1891 and has survived six changes of administration in his own country. Among his literary works is a history of Costa Rica. He was especially well known, however, for his advocacy of closer relations of the Americans by means of better understanding between the republics. He was active in the establishment of the bureau of American republics, since changed to the Pan-American Union; was a large factor in the Central American peace conference in Washington in 1907, at which the Central American court of justice was established at Cartago, Costa Rica; has actively advocated the establishment of a trans-American railroad to link the continents and expects to see its completion in the near future. Senor Calvo was born in San Jose, Costa Rica, July 10, 1857. There he was educated, and there he first entered the service of his government when little more than a youth by organizing the police department of the capital Journeying through Guatemala he met and married in 1851 Maria de Leon, with whom he returned to found the first daily newspaper in Costa Rica in 1855, in that same year he was made a member of the war claims commission and in the following year abandoned journalism to become governor of Cartago London. -Three out of the six powers of Europe which today are engaged in warfare have colonial possessions, protectorates and dependencies scattered all over the world. Austria-Hungary and Russia have no colonial possessions, though the Russian empire stretches through the continents of Europe and Asia and presents a long coast line on the northern Pacific. Of the others Great Britain has colonies and protectorates the world over; France has colonies and protectorates in Africa, India, China, in South America, in the West Indies, in the north Atlantic and in the Pacific and Indian oceans; Germany has colonial possessions in Africa, in China and in the Pacific ocean. Italy has dependencies in Africa and a concession in China. England's vast empires—India, Canada and Australia; her holdings on the Malay peninsula, her colonies in Africa and her fortified positions in the Mediterranean—Gibraltar and Malta—put her at the head of the colony holding nations of the world. They also increase the field of her protective operations. Many of the minor holdings of the four powers with colonial possessions to defend are themselves without military strength. In many cases the protecting powers have only small garrisons on shore, amounting to nothing more than local police forces. This is particularly true in Africa, outside of the French and British colonies, in the Pacific ocean and in American waters. The continent of Africa presents a notable picture of the juxtaposition of protectorates and colonies belonging to Great Britain, France and Germany. France has a protectorate over Morocco, and her Algerian possessions, facing the Mediterranean, are bounded on the east by Tripoli, a dependency of Italy. Then comes Egypt, where British interests are paramount. On the Bed sea and contiguous to Egypt is the Italian dependency of Eritrea. Coming down the east coast are British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, British East Africa, German East Africa, Portuguese East Africa and then British South Africa, embracing Rhodesia, the Transvaal, the Orange River Colony, Natal and the Cape of Good Hope. On the west contiguous in the order named are German Southwest Africa, Portuguese West Africa, the Kongo State, belonging to Belgium; the French Kongo, Kamerun, belonging to Germany; the Niger territories, a protectorate of Great Britain; French West Africa; Togoland, belonging to Germany; the Gold Coast, the British Colony and the Ivory Coast, annexed by France twenty years ago. EMPRESS EUGENIE'S REVENGE "Were the Emperor Only Here Now!" She Ecstasy-Brave For France. She Exclaims—Prays for France. London.—A dispatch from Rome says: "The aged French Empress Eugenie, who is at Bologna, takes a vivid interest in the war. When Count Pietrl, her faithful companion in her long years of misfortune and exile, announced that fighting had begun her eyes shone and she cried: "This is my revenge! Were the emperor only here now! May God protect France." "She makes constant perseverance with the war of 1870." 5 Bilhg, VM : Dacre (NBDE Se (Cane RE 42 ae y 8 fi; i ‘ Kae Sy Ke) oe , ee Tr DNS Vs - wa a\\ Bea ON a TT Vs | Yes NE - ‘ rye ay macy, at i9io4 Fourteenth street The sodas there are so pure and de- lecious and the ‘service is first-class.” The plate “Where ‘everybody meets everybody else.” Miss Jessie C.

A Thirty Acro Tract That Was Not Seeded or Plowed. Kansas City, Mo.—A thirty acre fleld of wheat that is expected to yield thirty-five bushels to the acre and did not cost the owner a cent for seed or labor until harvest is on the King farm: southwest of Grandview. It is owned by A, J..King of the King Realty company. Last year the ground was in wheat and yelded thirty-seven bushels to the acre. The harvest was late, the wheat was very ripe and much of it sbatter- ed off and lay on the ground. It came up eo thickly in the fall that it was pastured down. Mr. King decided to let it stand and see what would be the result without plowing the ground and seeding it again.

CORN MAY BE USED MORE. Man, Some Day, Will, Have a Limited Choice if He Does Not Become a Vegetarian—Estimated That in a Hundred Years Population of Country Will Be 500,000,000. New York.-The diet of Americans will be changed rapidly, as the growing population presses upon the food supply, but it will not be necessary for us to become entirely vegetarian. This is the conclusion reached by Professor J. F. Lyman of the Ohio State university after a study of the available food supply of this country, published in Popular Science. There was no food problem in this country two generations ago, when fish were plentiful, pigeons, deer, wild turkeys, waterfowl, quail and buffalo were abundant and wild berries, fruit and nuts could be obtained easily and in large quantities. With the growth of population, however, game practically has disappeared and a very small part of the country's food is supplied by uncultivated plants and trees. Dr. Lyman says: "If the present rate of increase continues the population of the United States will approximate 500,000,000 at the end of the present century. Is it possible to feed that number of persons on the product of our 3,000,000 square miles? China and India both support a population as dense, but both of these countries are distinctly agricultural. The mass of people live on the land and are engaged in producing food. In this country the great increase in population is in the cities, while the food-producing class is increasing comparatively slowly. The reports on agricultural products exported from the United States illuminate the food problem in an instructive way. If we compare the exports in 1912 with those for 1900 we find that the amount of cheese shipped abroad declined 85 per cent in that period, beef products declined 65 per cent, pork products declined 30 per cent, corn declined 80 per cent, wheat declined 57 per cent. "What do these figures tell? Simply that we have needed the food at home to supply our increasing millions and hence had less to sell in the markets of the world. Can we continue to feed our people by reducing the exports in food stuffs? Obviously not, and in many instances they have been reduced already near the vanishing point. We have even actually begun to import meat and corn. It is significant also that free government land suitable for agricultural purposes is no longer available; hence we cannot look for relief by bringing under the plow large tracts of virgin soil. "Is there likely, then, to be scarcity of food, in this country in the near future? No, there is and will be plenty of food, but some changes in dietaries undoubtedly will have to be made. Let us notice. In 1910 for every man, woman and child in the United States there was produced seven bushels of wheat, thirty-two bushels of corn, four bushels of potatoes and forty pounds of sugar. There were six-tenths cattle for each person, six-tenths sheep and seven-tenths swine. Add to this the fruits, vegetables, poultry and dairy products, oats and other small grains and we see that there is plenty of food to go around and to spare. "There was grown in the United States in 1912 corn which, if assembled in one immense field, might have covered Germany or France entirely with its rustling phalanx. How many millions might be nourished by the produce of this tremendous acreage! Here is a great source of food at present utilized in a very slight degree. "Food has two primary functions in the body first, to supply material out of which the body is built and, second, to furnish energy to warm the body and to drive its machinery. Perhaps the second function is the more important. Plants alone have the power to collect solar energy and store it up in a intent or dormant form in their seeds and other parts. Animals may, by eating and digesting these plant materials, liberate and utilize this stored up energy. When corn is fed to steers under favorable conditions 3 per cent of the energy of the corn may be recovered as meat in the edible portion of the carcass. The remaining 9 per cent was used by the animal in its various activities and lost as far as the nutrition of man is concerned. In pork the recovered portion amounts to 16 per cent, and with the dairy cow is per cent of the energy of the food is found in the milk produced. Obviously this is a wasteful process, this conversion of grain into meat and milk. It has its justification only in the greater palatability and digestibility of the final products. "Dr. Armsby of the Pennsylvania experiment station draws the conclusion: 'All the edible products which the farmer's acres can yield will be needed for human consumption, and the function of the stock feeder in a permanent system of agriculture will be to utilize those inedible products in which so large a share of the solar energy is held and to render at least a portion of the latter available for human use.'" SOUTH TO GROW CATTLE. Department of Agriculture Alma to Educate Southern Farmers. Washington. With a view to inducing the south to grow beef cattle the men of the department of agriculture whose duty it is to figure for the extension of all branches of animal industry are planning for a 500 acre live stock demonstration farm in Louisiana. It will be the first of its kind in the country. There are breeding farms maintained by other governments, but, so far as known, this is the only one the primary purpose of which is to develop breeds of cattle entirely for their beef producing qualities. The farm is to be located on the dividing line between the cane sugar land and the cotton land of the Pelican State. The boll weevil has made cotton culture in the moist, subtropical part of the state too hazardous. There are many farmers who, when driven out of cotton by the weevil, undertook cane growing. They found, however, that with overflows and occasional frosts, growing cane was about as hazardous as growing cotton. The south is thinking not of dalrying, but of growing beef cattle. The farmers have been getting such good prices for their different stock, they have so much corn on hand now, that the weevil has made them think of something other than cotton, that in every county there is a local sentiment favoring the eradication of the tick, a comparatively simple operation, and the growing of cattle for the packing houses. There is nothing wrong with the tick infested cattle from a food point of view, but so long as the tick remains in that country it is next to impossible to improve the breed. The immune cattle are not up to the standard of requirement for profitable shipment. The hauls to market are comparatively long, so it is desirable that the amount of bone, hoof and horn to be transported be reduced to a minimum while the flesh that can be put on the market is brought to the maximum. POPE PIUS X. WAS A CHURCH REFORMER Abolished Veto Privilege of Monarchs In Elections. New York. In the course of an interview Cardinal Gibbons gave it as his opinion that the world had failed in its estimate of the dead pontiff, Plus X., that the judgment of a future day would place the son of a peasant who was raised to the pontifical throne among the really great men of the twentieth century. The continent cardinal voiced the thoughts of those who have been the real beneficiaries of the short but active reign of Plus. Gluseppe Sarto was essentially a pope of internal activities. Ninety per cent of his voluminous utterances were addressed to the peoples in all lands who profess the Catholic religion. Many of his predecessors in the Roman see were men of a variety of talents, whereas he had but one—the talent for rooting up and exposing and building up as fast as he revealed the sore spots within his field. It is, because Plus was an internal operator that the world as reflected in newspapers, magazines and books has failed his admirers say, to understand him to have been anything more than a good and kindly old man whom everybody must love. Nobody will ever accuse Gluseppe Sarto of having been able to make "a deal" with monarchs, and he never renewed with any visible aggressiveness the claim of temporal power in the sense that he wished to be known as the pope-king. He began a reformer and died reforming. One of his first utterances was a condemnation of the privileges of certain rulers of Europe by which they could let it be known that they were against this cardinal and for that one. He annulled their veto privilege. Then he began a series of investigations, always of the church and the people in it—never of any others. He never worried about personalities where his reforms were concerned. He hit hard, then looked at the place he had hit. GIRL'S RECORD WHEAT YIELD. Thirteen-year-old Kansas Maid Has Grain Averaging Forty-seven Bushels. Witchin, Kan.—Cora Patterson, thirteen years old, of Caldwell, is the proudest girl in her neighborhood. Last fall she asked her father for a small plot of his farm near town on which she could experiment with wheat raising. Mr. Patterson allotted his daughter four acres. She plowed the ground, harrowed it and sowed the grain. She cared for it and watched it with an eager eye. The wheat was recently thrashed. It averaged forty-seven bushels to the acre, the best yield in this part of Kansas. In only the cutting and thrashing did Miss Patterson take no part. Chicken Has Two Heads.

Canada has been wrestling with the ultimate problem of the white world, that of color prejudice. She tries to solve the difficulty by providing that the Hindus could not enter her territory unless they came direct from India—there being no direct steamship line to bring them. But a body of some 360 Sikhs tried to meet the issue by sailing directly from India to Vancouver in the Japanese steamer Komagata Maru, led by Gurdut Singh. They arrived May 24, but were forbidden to land and have spent long weeks on shipboard trying to effect a disembarkment. The leader selected Canada for the supreme test; all his men on board sailed from India prepared to fight to the finish. They came knowing full well the opposition that awaited them, and considered themselves a small sacrifice to be made in so large and far-reaching a cause. Their object was to force their way unconditionally into Canada as equal British subjects. They were refused admittance on the score of their being undesirable persons; but it was affirmed that every man on the Komagata Maru had been chosen because of his average worthiness. Their tactics have largely been similar to those of the suffragettes; the suffragette goes on a hunger strike because she knows that no modern civilized government dares let her die on their hands for a political cause in which she has many sympathizers. For several nights a lookout was maintained on the water front to rouse the city of Vancouver to arms if a landing should be attempted. When the police endeavored to board the ship and enforce submission, the Sikhs used no firearms; their only weapons were coal and hardware. A Japanese boat brought them, while Japan has been looking on watching events in which she is very personally interested. In fact, the colored races of the whole world have been intimately concerned in the outcome of this case. They outnumber the whites by many millions. The colored man has awakened to his subjugation, his oppression, his insisted inferiority. The Los Angeles Daily Times contained an unbiased editorial on this serious difficulty which the British government has been called upon to face. It says, in part: "Upon the handling of the case of the Kongata Maru and the far-reaching outcome depend the stability and the continuance of the British Empire, an issue greatly outweighing in immensity such controversies as home rule for Ireland or votes for women. Justice is all on the side of the High Court. In civilization, culture, ethics and possible attainment he is in no wise inferior to the white man; indeed, his strict code of living and his observance of his religious ideals are often superior. There is nothing but his oriental origin and his dark skin against him, yet to our white eyes is all-sufficing. It is no argument, but our prejudice is so strong and deep-seated, so adamant, that we are physically incapable of accepting him as an equal and living with him as a brother. * * * For the moment it is an exclusively British problem. Tomorrow it will be ours. Australia, South Africa, New Zealand have already felt the ominous rumblings. More than a decade ago Kaiser Wilhelm and contemporary writers foresaw this thing. The coming decade will see the crisis. 'The white man in his arrogance will be put to the proof. It will be a long and a bitter struggle between the man who considers himself unquestionably superior and who fears death, and the man who wants to know why and who is not afraid to die while he is finding out. The only alternative is to accept the Hindu, the Japanese, the Chinaman, the Negro, as a man and a brother. But that is out of all range of possibility. We know that justice is on his side, but we cannot relent. We will forego our hopes of heaven sooner. A wonderful, powerful, awful prejudice!" On July 23, just two months from the arrival of the Komagata Maru, she sailed for Shanghai. The Canadian government spent more than $10,000 in provisioning the ship for the return voyage. The newspapers stated that the promoters of the expedition are pleased with the publicity the expedition received, for most of the Sikhs are said to be former soldiers in the British army and they anticipate that their rejection will be made much of in the agitation for the overthrow of British rule in India.

For instance, the Paras of the Sheep and the Goats was at time applied to the Church. We ed altogether to notice that it does say even one word respecting the arch, but is applied to the world, the fens, the heathen. For many cenes the Jews had been accustomed think of themselves as God's nation, i's people; all others they styled then, Gentiles, the nations, the peo- and in the Old Testament prophes God has treated the subject from standpoint. n line with this usage, when Spirit- Israel was received into Divine fa- as the Royal Priesthood, the holy jodon, the peculiar people, all the re- render of mankind were properly ought to be thought of as the nations, Gentiles. Following this thought, our Lord tells us in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats what will befall the nations after His Kingdom shall have been set up—after the selection of the true Church class to be the Bride, the Lamb's Wife. The Parable Descriptive of the New Age. That this parable refers to the work of the incoming Age is clearly indicated in the opening verse. There the Master distinctly says, "When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His glory." The scene of this parable evidently is laid after the Time of Trouble, when the nations shall have been subdued, Satan bound, and the authority of Christ's Kingdom established. Before that time shall have come, the overcoming Church will have been seated with her Lord as His Bride in His Throne. As the Apostle writes, "Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?" I Corinthians 6:2. Then follows a description of the work of the Messianic Age: "Before Him shall be gathered all nations." All the people in the world, except God's holy nation. His peculiar people, the Church of Christ, will be gathered before the great white Throne of Divine Justice, Mercy and Love. First will come the living nations; and then in their appointed time the dead of all nations will be called to appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, there there receive a fair. Impartial trial as individuals under the most favorable circumstances, the outcome of which will be a final sentence of worthiness or unworthiness of life everlasting. Six thousand years ago, in Eden, Adam and his entire race were on trial for life. But Adam failed, and was sentenced to death. His posterity, stinging in him, were sentenced in him; and none of his race are worthy of everlasting life. All are sinners; "there is none righteous, no not one." But in due time God sent His Son to die for Adam's sin, in order that "as by a man come death [for the entire human race], by a man [Jesus] also will come the resurrection of the dead [the entire race of Adam]; for as all Adam die, even so shall in Christ shall be made alive"—"every man in his own order."—1 Corinthians 15:21, 22 The first order to be made alive in Christ is the Church, which has been called out of the world, separated, by gotten of the Holy Spirit. This class pass their trial, their judgment, for life or death everlasting in the present time. Hence the worthy ones, those whose characters are pleasing and acceptable to God, will be quite ready to be the Bride of Messiah, joint-heirs with Him in His Kingdom and His associates in His work of judging the world. He has promised that all who are faithful shall sit with Him in His Throne (Revelation 3:21)—the very Throne pictured in the parable under consideration—the Throne before which all the nations, all people outside of the Church, will be gathered. General Description of the Judgment Day. The gathering of the world will be the result of knowledge. The Time of Trouble will lead on to great enlightenment; all the blind eyes will be opened, all the deaf ears unstopped, and the knowledge of the glory of God will fill the whole earth as the waters cover the sea. There will be some, however, who will resist this knowledge and will decline to accept Christ as their Mediator; this class will not enter into this judgment, but after one hundred years of resistance will be destroyed. Those who constitute the two classes mentioned in the parable, the Pastor declared, are those who have accepted Christ's terms and desire to be on Judgment, or trial, for life everlasting. This will include all that are in their graves; they will come forth, not all at once, but gradually. Messiah's Kingdom will exercise its power and disseminate the knowledge of God and of the principles of righteousness, with a view to encouraging, helping and uplifting all the willing, and obedient. All such may arise gradually out of sin and death conditions—up out of imperfection of mind and body, up out of immoral conduct—to the full image of God, as possessed by Father Adam in the beginning. The entire Millennial Age will be required to bring this about. Righteousness will reign then, as Sin reigns now; that is to say, righteousness will be in the ascendency. In the control. Then whoever sin will suffer promptly. Hence all mankind will avoid sin; and the world in general will be a grand place, "nothing shall hurt or destroy"; "the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick"; the curse shall be gradually rolled away, and there shall be no more crying, no more sighing, no more dying; the blessing of God will prevail, bringing perfection. Surely it will be a happy Day for humanity; and all who live throughout the thousand years will receive great blessing. Importance of Right Heart Condition. The Pastor then discussed the subject of punishment for sins committed in this life. He showed that it will be equally as just for God to forgive the sins of the world for Christ's sake as it has been just for Him to forgive the sins of the Church for Christ's sake. If the one is just, so will be the other; for God is no respecter of persons, and is equally as willing to forgive the sins of the world as the sins of the Church, when the world repents and turns from sin, accepting Christ as their Redeemer. This does not mean, however, that justice will be ignored. In the case of the Church, the sins of youth often leave their scar and siting to the end of life; and so we may reasonably assume that certain stripes, or punishments, will be permitted to follow the world in just the same manner. It will be from these weaknesses and frailties that they will be gradually raised up to perfection during the blessed thousand years of Christ's Kingdom, when Satan will be bound and unable to declare any one. Son... reason that if conformity to the *Sine Law* in an outward way will bring blessings to all, there still may be an inward difference between people, some coming heartily into accord with the Father, and others merely assuming an appearance of harmony because this harmony will be the way to perfection. Undoubtedly this reasoning is correct. It is along this very line that the parable under consideration teaches. Outwardly the sheep class and the goat class will have much the same appearance and demeanor, except to the Judge, the King, who will read the heart and ultimately will manifest to all that there has been a real heart difference between the two classes, all of whom will have been on trial for a thousand years, receiving blessings from Messiah's Kingdom. Character the Basis of Judgment To the sheep class the Judge will say, "Come, ye blessed of My Father [the kind that My Father is pleased to grant everlasting litter, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." When God laid the foundation of the earth and planned for its human habitation. It was His design to give it to you. Now has come the time for you to enter into this kingdom and possess it. This is not the Messianic Kingdom. On the contrary, it is the kingdom which God gave Adam, but which he lost through disobedience and which Christ redeemed by the sacrifice of Himself. It will be given only to those who will have developed the God-like character—those who during the Millennium have become the Lord's sheep. To the goat class He will say, "Depart, you accursed ones [doomed ones], into everlasting punishment." Granted all the privileges, blessings and experiences of a thousand years of contact with righteousness, truth and the Spirit of God, you indeed render an outward obedience, but at heart you have not come into harmony with God. I cannot present you to the Father as blameless and irreproval. You must be destroyed in the Second Death—"everlasting destruction." The penalty upon you is everlasting, because there will be no further provision made for your redemption or your resurrection from this Second Death. You will be as though you had never been. You have failed utterly to appreciate the goodness of God and to copy His character-likeness. Eternal life is for those only who have the Divine likeness and spirit. Both classes were surprised at what the King, the Judge, declared to be the basis of His judgment. To the sheep He said, "I was hungry, and ye gave Me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink, I was a stranger, and ye took Me in; naked, and ye clothed Me; I was sleet, and ye visited Me; I was in prison, and ye came up to Me." The goat class. He declared, had failed to meet these tests. Both sheep and goats claimed to have no knowledge of such experiences. But the answer was, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, My brethren, or did it not unto them, ye did it, or did it not unto Me. The Resurrection of the World. Then the Pastor explained who these are respecting whom there will be a test upon the sheep class and the goat class, and how it is that there will be sickness, poverty, hunger and prisons during the Messiah Kingdom. With the establishment of the Kingdom all who come into harmony with it will have the great privilege of doing something to help others. The world is blind and started now, for want of spiritual food and the anointing eye-salve of Truth. While the Millennial blessings will be showered upon those who accept the Lord's terms, there will be others who will need assistance. Those who have the Spirit of God, the spirit of love, will be glad to carry the Heavenly Message of reconciliation to all humanity, glad to apply the eye-salve to the blind, glad to unstop the ears of the deaf, glad to help the sin-sick back into harmony with God, glad to help them to cover their nakedness with Christ's merit. Those who take pleasure in this work will thereby demonstrate that they have God's Spirit and are collaborators with Him. All these will be the sheep. But those who are careless respecting their Vow, and merely enjoy the Millennial blessings themselves, will be of the goat class and will thus mark themselves as goats. Correspondingly they will be out of favor with the King of kings, their Judge. The Prison-House of Death. The prison-House of Death. The prison referred to in the parable is undoubtedly the great prison-house of death, into which approximately twenty thousand millions already have gone. All these are to come forth, not all at once, but "every man in his own order," as the Scriptures declare. Only the Church will be in the First Resurrection. During the Millennium the awakening from the sleep of death will, we believe, come about by Divine Power, of course, but in answer to prayer. Each family circle, as it can prepare for another and another member, will be glad to do so, and will make request for his return. Thus the race will come out of the prison-house in reverse order to that in which they entered, and will be acquainted with their friends and relatives, who will have prepared for them and will identify them. While the blessing of the Lord will provide an abundance for all, nevertheless we may safely assume that the provision will be in the hands of their fellows. It will be the sheep that will be especially interested in those in the great prison-house of death, and who will be praying for them and preparing for them. By so engaging their time and energy these sheep will be manifesting a purpose, a will, in harmony with that of the Creator. God has willied that all in the graves shall come forth at the command of the Lord Jesus; and those in harmony with God and Christ will be collaborors with God in accomplishing the work for which Christ died. Whoever is not interested in that work will be lacking in God's Spirit; and this is exactly what is charged against the goat class. The King, having redeemed the world of mankind and having provided for the resurrection of all the redeemed, counts them as in a certain sense representing Himself, as he says in the parable. His reproof to the goat class indicates that they were not really interested in the things of God. Their interest was merely a selfish one. They had more or less of the spirit of selfishness, which is the spirit of Satan. The Lord's provision, as the Apostle points out, is, "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." but "the wages of sin is death"—Bomans 623. JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS Matthew 23:31-45-Sent 20 IN the past many of us read the Bible too carelessly. For instance, today's leson was at one time applied to the Church. We failed altogether to notice that it says not one word respecting the Church, but is entirely applied to the heathen. The Jews were accustomed to think of themselves as God's people, and to style all others heathen, Gentiles, nations. In the prophecies God treated the matter from this standpoint. In this parable our Lord tells us what will befall after His Kingdom shall have been set up—after the selection of the Church to be the Bride, the Lamb, Wife and Joint-heir in His Throne. Who after proper consideration of the beginning of the parable will dispute that this is a description of Messiah's Kingdom following His Parousia and His Epiphania at His Second Advent? A "Before Him shall be gathered all nations. All the world, except God's holy nation, the Church, will be before His great white Throne of Justice, Mercy and Love. Then will be their judgment time. Six thousand years ago, in Eden Adam and his entire race were judged, and the sentence was death. In due time God sent His Son to die for Adam's sin, so that "as by a man came death [of the entire race], by a man [Jesus] also will come the resurrection of the dead"—[the entire race]. "For as all in Adam die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive"—"every man in his own order."—1 Corinthians 15:21, 22. The first to be made alive in Christ is the Church. These pass their judgment, their trial, for life or death everlasting in the present time. Hence the worthy ones will be quite ready to be Messiah's Bride class, joint-heels with Him in His Kingdom and in His work of judging the world.—1 Corinthians 6:2. The World's Judgment Day. The gathering of the world before that Throne will be the result of knowledge. The Time of Trouble will lead to great knowledge. All blind eyes will be opened, all deaf ears united, the knowledge of God's earth. Some there resisting this knowledge, accept Christ and will not this judge out, but after a hundred years of resistance will be destro There in the parable are such as have accepted Christ's terms, and desire to be fulfilment, or trial, for everlasting life. This will include all in their graves. Messiah's Kingdom will disseminate the knowledge of God and of righteousness, with a view to uplifting all the willing and obedient out of sin and death conditions (to the full image of God as possessed by Father Adam in the beginning. But what about heart conditions? If conformity to the Divine Law will bring blessings, would not some come into harmony merely because this outward harmony would bring Restitution? Undoubtedly this is correct reasoning. It is along this line that the parable before us teaches; namely, that outward sheep and goats will have much the same appearance, except to the Judge, the King. He will read the heart, and ultimately will manifest to all that there has been a real heart difference between the two classes, all of whom will have been on trial for a thousand years. The Basis of Judgment. Meantime each individual will have been making character. That character will be fully appreciated by the Great Judge, and the individual rated as a sheep or a goat. But not until the conclusion of the Millennium will His decision be manifested. The kingdom given to the sheep class is not the Messianic Kingdom, but that given to Adam, and lost through disobedience. Christ redeemed it by His sacrifice. The everlasting punishment to which the goat class is assigned is the Second Death — "everlasting destruction." No provision will be made for redemption and resurrection from the Second Death. ```markdown ``` While blessings will be showered upon those who accept the Lord's Hades terms, others will need assistance. Those having God's Spirit of Love will be glad to apply the eye-salve of Truth to the spiritually blind, glad to unstop deaf ears and to help the sin-sleek back into harmony with God—helping them to cover their nakedness with the merit of Christ. The prison referred to in the parable is undoubtedly the great prison-house of death, into which approximately twenty thousand millions of individuals already have gone. During the Millennium the awakening from the dead will, we believe, come about by Divine Power, in answer to prayer.

The most magnificent park in the United States will be located on the top of Meridian Hill overlooking Washington and will be started in a few weeks by the office of Public Buildings and Grounds. The work will be under the direction of Col. W. W. Harts. They provide for landscape, architecture and gardening on a magnificent basis. The site is the plot bounded by Fifteenth, Sixteenth and W Street and Florida Avenue. To many the hill has been known for years as Sixteenth Street Hill. There will be few changes in the steep hill. The top of the hill will be extended on grade as far south as possible, where a concrete cliff will drop it to the lower level. On top of this cliff will be a paved plaza and walk potomac Valley almost to Alexandria, or as far as the eye can reach. In the center will be a big pool. From this pool will run a continuous cascade of rippling water to the lower end of the park, where it will flow into another great pool flanked by two fountains and forming the background for a statue site. The upper end of the park above the cliff will be level and will have a double driveway for carriages and automobiles arched by shade trees. The lower end will be terraced down both sides, the background and borders being of square-trimmed linden trees. Down Sixteenth Street will run a concrete wall for landscape effect, in reality a retaining wall...The main entrance for pedestrians will be in Sixteenth Street. On the other end of the cliff plaza semi-circular concrete stairs will run from the upper to the lower level of the park. A total of $25,000 has been made available for the preliminary work on the park. A poor widow with seven children, in Hull County, England, was sued for thirty shillings rent.
