IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 33 WASHINGTON, I. D. C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1915 Ohio Sends a Represntative Ex-State Senator Joh P. Green. Goes Before Committee Sends ex-State Senator John P. Green to Washington with Resolutions. Thousands of Colored Voters in Ohio Denounce Immigration Bill. Mr. John P. Green, ex-State Senator from Cleveland, Ohio, arrived in the city Tuesday morning from Ohio. He was sent to this city to present to the Congress of the United States a set of preambles and resolutions protesting against the recent immigration bill that has just passed the Senate of the United States. Mr. Green called at the Bee office on his arrival in the city and after a conference with several representative citizens, he proceeded forthwith to the Immigration committee of the House of Representatives, Senator Burton of Ohio and Hon. Robert J. Bulkley of Cleveland, Ohio. The following is a report of the meeting held in Cleveland, Ohio, and the resolutions adopted and reported to be presented to Congress by Mr. Green, the special representative sent by over 2,000 voters in massmeeting in Ohio: At a mass-meeting of Two Thousand colored-Americans, held in St. John's A. M. E. Church, Cleveland, Ohio, on the evening of January 3rd, 1915, the following declaration was adopted, without dissent; and Hon. John P. Green, ex-State Senator of Ohio, was unanimously chosen and instructed to go to Washington, D. C., and present the same to the Committee having the Bill in charge; and also to the President of the United States. HENRY TAYLOR, President of the Meeting- ORMAND A. FORTE, We, the colored citizens of Northern Ohio, in mass-meeting assembled, in the City of Cleveland, this Third day of January. A. D. 1915, for the purpose of entering our solemn protest against the passage of House Bill No. (generally known as the Immigration Bill), as amended in the Senate, prohibiting the immigration into the United States of "All persons of the African-race or of Negro blood," do hereby declare, as follows, to wit: The colored people of these United States are an integral part of the aggregate cosmopolitan population and citizens of this republic: We have won our place and citizenship here, by three hundred years of faithful, patriotic devotion to the principles of our Constitution, and, side by side—with our white fellow citizens, we have felt the primeval forests, tilled the virgin soil, and constructively added to the sum total of the wealth of this nation: Wherever the white American has placed his feet, whether amidst the "golden sands" of Africa, the Islands of the sea, or around the North Pole, at the "top of the earth," the colored-American has been by his side. In every hour of public peril and distress, whether on fields of battle to make republic or aiding in preserving it, we have been in the thick of the battle, giving of our blood and of our substance. There are no Anarchists amongst us; we have been and are still true loyal to all civil obligations and the highest social obligations: and, today, did the red hand of anarchy clutch at the throat of this republic, a million arms of brawny colored men could be depended on to rally to the rescue: In view of the premises, we deplore said amendment to said Immigration Bill, and protest against the passage of the same in the present form, as being an insult, and injustice indirectly aimed at the dearest rights of the colored citizens of this country, as well as against the few hundred persons of African descent and Negro blood, who annually come to these shores, principally for educational and humanitarian purposes;—they are our brethren, and the persecution of them afflicts us all. Said amendment is not only unjust and dangerous, but it is diametrically opposed to the teachings of the Christian religion, which declares that "God is no respecter of persons," but it ignores and strikes down that part of our Declaration of Independence, which declares that "all men are created equal." We hereby call upon our Senators and Representatives in Congress, our free and liberty loving press and all fair-minded people residing in this Republic, to aid us in creating a sentiment unfavorable to said amendment and in securing its defeat. We also pray that, in the event of the passage of said Bill, carrying said amendment, the President of the United States will exercise his Constitutional right and veto the same. JOHN P. GREEN, Chairman of Com. on Resolutions. OUR NEW KNOW-NOTHINGISM. From the New York World. The House of Representatives has passed a bill excluding illiterates from the United States. The Senate has made an exception in favor of Belgian farmers, most of whom are not illiterates, and to the list of the excluded It has added those of the black or African race." In conference it is possible that this measure will be made somewhat more reasonable, but with prejudice of race and of class very active in both branches of Congress, the hope of honest, manly and reasonable legislation must be faint indeed. From recent votes at Washington it is evident that a great majority of both parties would like to shut out of the United States not only all yellow and black men but a considerable element of the population of Europe. As against Chinese, Japanese and negro there is no disposition to mince words, but there is not a man in Congress who has the courage to name names when he votes to put up the bars against Europe. All our legal troubles with the Mongolian races have grown out of the Civil-War legislation which placed whites and blacks upon an equality, all others being ignored. If we now exclude the blacks because they are black and the yellows and browns because they are yellow and brown, why should we not be courageous enough to bar various races of Southern Europe because they are inhabitants of Southern Europe? In truth, there is neither courage nor wisdom in this legislation. It is sustained, only by race prejudice at the South and on the Pacific Coast, jockeying with trade-unionism throughout the North. In the South and in the Gulf and Pacific States the people are honest enough to say what they mean. When the South wants black men excluded, it says black men. When the Pacific Coast wants yellow and brown men excluded, it says yellow and brown men. How many Northern Congressmen who voted in favor of the literacy test dare say that they mean to exclude Italians and Jews? The various bills as they stand are a disgrace to the United States. They can hardly emerge from Congress in any form that will escape a veto. HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. Classes of 1910 and 1912 Give a Joint Reunion—Prof. William Makes a Speech. On December 30, 1914, the class of 1910 of M Street High School and the class of 1912 of the Normal School gave a joint class reunion and formal dance at the New Auditorium Hall on Eighth Street S. E. It was altogether fitting and proper that these two classes should have a joint reunion, because the class of '12 is composed of members from the class of '10 with a few exceptions. The reunion was attended by the loyal members of the class of '10 of M Street High School and '12 of Normal. Some of those who could not be present gave their financial support and others sent pennants to decorate the hall. Two of those who sent pennants as a substitute for their presence were Miss C. Quivers, in Illinois, and Miss Alice Hershaw in Indianapolis, Ind. The hall was very daintily and artistically decorated in green and white, the pretty class colors, and with many pennants representing the schools and places now attended by members of the class, by Miss Lillian Burke, Miss Edna Lucas, and C. Leonard Johnson. The fifty or more couples present composed of '10's very attractive and pretty young ladies gaily dressed in their beautiful evening gowns adorned with handsome bouquets, and the men neatly attired in their well fitting dress suits, presented a scene, of the colored young folk of Washington, worthy of esteem. This reunion of the old classmates of 10 after a separation of four years seemed to give much pleasure to them as they talked over reminiscences of of the past dear old school days and of their successes and occupations up to this time, which certainly reflect great credit upon the class of 1910 which maintained such a brilliant scholarship record in the M Street High and the Normal. While refreshments were being served by M Street High School's soldierly and well trained cadets in uniform, Mr. Ellis Rivers, president of the class of 1910, and senior at Yale, gave a short and appropriate address of welcome. Following, Miss Eleanor Lee read a very interesting paper on what the members of the class of 1910 are doing up to the present time. Then Prof. E. C. Williams, principal of M Street High School, made a brief enthusiastic speech in which he said that M. Street High School might justly be proud of its large representation in a good number of the leading colleges of this land, many of which he named, and expressed the hope that a reunion of the last five graduate classes of M Street might soon be a realization. Dr. Childs, member of the Board of Education, also made one of his characteristic forceful speeches. The members of the class who took part in this affair are: Misses Angella Braxton, Inez Arrington, Lydia Brown, Fannie Butler, Leah Cunningham, Marguerite Smith, Eleanor Lee, M. Jane King, Martha Wade, Geraldine Tate, Martha Wade, Vivian Thompson, Olive Thompson, Edna Lucas, Mary Chaney, Scottsra Montgomery, Lillian Burke, Alice Harris, Geneva Townes, Ruth Peters, Eva Burrell, Annie Johnson, Rebecca Ware, Frances Hughston, Grace Coleman, Elloise Tivsley, Ruth Matthews, Mrs. Alcinda Bacon Lyles, Ethel Pate Wilson, Lillian Anderson Williams, Miss Rosabelle Lane, post graduate of '12; Messrs. Leonard Johnson, Ellis Rivers. J.M. Edward Savoy Edward Miles, Willis Richardson, Charles Wesley, Wm. Miller, Hardy Randall, Dr. Leon Mayer er, Hardy Randall, Dr. Leon Snyder. Among the guests were Prof. E. C. Williams, Mr. Moria Saunders, Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Childs, Misses Simpson, Atwood HcNeil, teacher at M Street High School, Misses E. Reddick, Emma Lucas, Ethel M. Minor, E. Tancil, Mrs. Margorie, A Wormley, Messrs. W. Ford, O. J. Burke, Tate C. Butler, C. Lewis Williams) H. Burrell, W. Lane, R. M. Andrews, F. Turner, C. W. Thompson, H. Wade, J. Rector, R. Gilliam, A. Green E. Harris, and Dr. Cherry. Class officers of M'Street 1910 are Francis Ellis Rivers, president, Lillan T. Burke, vice president; Edna Lucas, secretary, Edward miles, treasurer. Class officers of Normal 1912 were Hamilton Clark, president (deceased), Ruth B. Peters, vice president; Ruth V. Matthews, secretary, and Charles Wesley, treasurer. Much credit is due to Misses Lillian Burke, Edna Lucas, and Edward Miles for the admirable and loyal way in which they worked to make this affair the great success that it was. WOODROW WILSON AND 1916. From The New York World. The Washington correspondent of The Sun is authority for the assertion that "the opposition within the Democratic party to the nomination of President Wilson appears to be crystallizing around Champ Clark." This may be true, but we doubt if Champ Clark regards such support as flattering or important. We doubt still further whether he is ambitious to play James G. Blaine to Woodrow Wilson's Benjamin Harrison. The role would hardly appeal to him. After all, who compose this opposition to the President's renomination? Murphy and Tammany Hall, of course. William R. Hearst, of course. The Democratic job-mongers in the United States Senate, perhaps. Southern Democrats like Cole Blease, of South Carolina; Vardaman, of Mississippi, and Colquitt, of Texas, whose opposition is a compliment to a real Democrat. What do they all amount to in the councils of the Democratic party? How many delegates can they send to the next Democratic National Convention? Whether President Wilson is nominated or not depends upon himself. If he wants a renomination, the opposition will prove as weak and futile as the opposition to Cleveland. If he refuses a renomination, the party will be beaten in advance of the election, for he is the only candidate it can possibly elect. It is not the President, but the Democratic party that is on trial. The President has proved that he measures up to the full qualifications of his great office; but the Democratic party has yet to prove that it is fit to govern. The revolt against President Wilson within the Democratic party has had the immediate effect of uniting and stimulating the Republican opposition. It may be able to defeat the Administration's program of legislation. It may disgust the country totally-with the Democratic party and give the Republicans a walk-over in 1916. But one thing is certain. If Democrats are incapable of giving honest support to a President like Woodrow Wilson, he is the last Democratic President that this political generation is likely to see, and the Democratic party will revert to its former position as a mere party of opposition. A Scene That Made the Old Folks Happy. The Allen C. E. League of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church paid its third annual visit to the Old Folks Home at Blue Plains, D. C., last Sunday morn- We are organized in the language of our Martyred Lincoln:-"With malice towards none and charity for all." "Read elsewhere in this paper what the Editor has to say about this movement." Tickets on Sale at Harlan's Toggery - Shop 1105 You St., N. W. Tickets on sale at Pride's Drug Store, 28th and P Sts., N. W., Pope's Drug Store, 131º E St., N. J Dr. L. H. Harris, 3d and F Sts. Southwest ing, Jan. 3. Twenty-five persons were in the party and the auto left the church about 12:15 P. M., heavily laden with many good things for the inmates of the home. It was the purpose of the Society to give a bit of Christmas cheer and comfort to the old folks and they succeeded nobly. 320 individual packages were taken along and distributed impartially without regard to race, creed, or color. In each package was one pound of sugar, an orange, an apple, sweet meats, soda crackers, smoking and chewing tobacco for the men. Upon arriving at the institution a praise meeting was held in each of the speakers were Mr. A. J. Williams, Jr. Mrs. A. E. Waddleton, Mr. Jesse J. Simms, Mrs. A. M. Lucas, Mr. S. Z. C. Westfield, Miss A. Payne (ex-president of the League)' and others. After the services were over, the gifts were distributed to the old folks and joy seemed to fill their very hearts at being the recipients of so many good things. Several of them responded in well chosen words and expressed their deep appreciation of the visit paid them by the League. This is an annual feature of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Allen C. E. League and is looked forward to with very great pleasure by all those who participate. On the return home, a visit was paid to the Incorrigible School for Boys, also located at Blue Plains, and of whom Mr. Perry is the Superintendent. Miss Christina Carter acted as guide and ushered the party thru the buildings, then into the chapel where 83 boys had assembled for a short service. They sang several beautiful selections, and it was again proven that the Negro is a natural song bird, for the voices of these boys echoed melodiously thru the halls and was indeed quite inspiring. Short addresses were made by Mrs. A. E Waddleton and Mr. S. Z. C. Westerfield. After a very enjoyable and beneficial, visit, the party returned to the church, arriving there about 5:15 P. M. The committee in charge of preparing the packages deserved great credit for the splendid way in which it rallied to the cause of charity, by giving their time and labor. It consisted of Miss Martha Johnson, Mr. R. A. Tucker, Miss Louise Marshall, Miss Anna S. Payne, Mrs. A. M. Lucas, Mrs. A. V. Thornton and Master Solomon Livingstone. INSTALLATION Installation of officers of Jonathan Davis Consistory No. 1. Thirty-second degree, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of the Southern Jurisdiction of U. S. A, took place Monday night, December 28, 1914, in their regular rendezvous at 1633 Eleventh street N. W. The following are the officers who were elected and installed for the next ensuing year: Illustrious S. S. Thompson, Thirty-third degree, M. D., and Deputy of the Valley, installed the officers, assisted by the retiring Commander-in-Chief, Edward L. Crump, Thirty-third degree, after which a fine banquet was given. THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR 1914. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 31, 1914.—I find according to Records kept by the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute that during the year that has just passed 52 persons were put to death by mobs. Of this number 49 were colored and 3 were white. The number of persons lynched in 1914 was apparently the same as for 1913 and is the smallest number for a year since records of lynchings have been kept. Although the number of lynchings has not increased, there appears to be an increasing tendency to lynch for any cause, however trivial, and also to disregard sex. Of the 52 persons lynched in the past year only seven, or 13 per cent, two white and five colored, were charged with rape. Three of those lynched were women. One of these women was only seventeen years old, and was charged with killing a man who, it was reported, had raped her. Another of the woman lynched was accused of beating a child to death; while the third woman and her husband were charged with setting fire to a barn. In the presence of their four-year-old child they were put to death. The crimes charged against the persons killed were: murder, 13; robbery and murder, 6; robbery and attempted murder, 1; suspected of murder, 1; rape, 6; attempted rape, 1; killing an officer, 5; wounding officer, 1; murderous assault, 3; alleged murderous assault, 1; biting off a man's chin, 1; accused of wounding a person, 1; killing person in quarrel, 4; beating child to death, 1; trying to force way into woman's room, 1; stealing shoes, 1; stealing mules, 1; setting fire to a barn, 2; assisting man to escape who had wounded another, 1; being found under a house.1 I find that lynching occurred during the year in fifteen States as follows: Alabama, 2; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 4; Georgia, 2; Louisiana, 12; Mississippi, 12; Missouri, 1; New Mexico, 1; North Dakota, 1; North Carolina, 1; Oklahoma, 3; Oregon, 1; South Carolina 4; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 6. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. HONOR MR. BUNDY. Memorial exercises were held under the auspices of the Bethel Literary last Tuesday evening in honor of the late James F. Bundy, secretary of the Howard University Law School. Miss Madra presided. Those who spoke were Attorney Thomas Walker, Mrs. Fannie W. Taylor, Prof. Tunnell, Prof. W. H. Richards and others. The second Baptist Church rendered music. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) One of those unfortunate experiences which it would have been interesting to witness, at long as it happened anyway befall, at approximately I A. M., the other night, or to be absolutely correct; the other morning. A gentleman, among the many who own, or lease, or hire an automobile, took a married lady friend out for an automobile spin—away out in the country where the air is crisp and healthy—"far from the maddening crowd," as Harry Reynolds would say when the romantic spirit overtakes him. But Harry has no automobile—never rode in one, so this narrative in no manner fits him. This nameless couple were snugly enconced in—I don't know whether it was a Ford or a Mercedes. "What a convenience these autos are," said the gentleman at the wheel, with ill-conceived enthusiasm, "we can, in a few moments, get out of the view of piquant eyes and gossipy tongues." She, charming lady, who had vowed to "love and obey" another member of the sun-down race, purred back, "Aint they delightful, and aint the sensation invigorating?" On they sped—"two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one," unmindful of the fact that they were gitting farther and farther from the base of supplies. Horrors! The dummed thing stopped short, refused to budge; the sparkplug wouldn't work, and the carburetter had gone on a vacation, and this couple far out from the city, on some lonely and unfrequented road, while the hubby of the lady was waiting home for his spouse, and the customary dinner, and the wifey of the gentleman was wondering, between sobs, if her cavalier had been kidnapped by a modern bold buccaneer. He got out and worked and worked, but not being a handy man with machinery, knowing more about the requisites of the drawing room, and Hoyle's rules on whist, he could do nothing with the machine—either his machine, or that leased or hired. The lady was nervous. She fumed and she fretted. "Suppose one of Washington's many automobile tourlets should happen along and see her out riding, this late in the evening, with some other woman's liege lord and master?" This ran in through her brain like an Edison storage battery feeding a dynamo. And our cavalier, he was nervous-like, for fear some one would be audacious enough to ride by and say: "Why how are you. Mr. — and Mrs. —? Are you out on business or just for pleasure?" Like a trojan he worked on that carbeneater he knew nothing about. Like a Coesack trying to make the Carpathian pass did he fumble with the sparkplug he had never read about. Finally, convinced that the Ford, or the Mercedes, or whatever the car make was, could not be started again by an amateur, he suggested that they had better get out and walk. Backward, towards the city they trudged, and it was a long ways to Tippiary, too, let me tell you. The lady began to shed tears. She suspicioned the anger of her hubby. Our gay cavalier walked along in moody silence, for he had visions of the suspicions of his spouse. Ever and anon a gay party would pass them, at a 25-mile gait in some other make car, and give them the ha-ha. Finally there came sailing by, on the way to town, a party of three, a gentleman and two ladies, all members of the oxidized race. They recognized the automobile evicted couple, and in a tantalizing manner called back, "Certainly is a delightful evening for a stroll." "Mean things," the lady said to her automobile chaperone, who knew nothing about the workings of these contraptions, "Till bet they will go back and spread the news over town." What fear possessed the couple! How they feared the sensation to be spread! On they trudged, she so tired she would have to rest every little while. Finally the glimmer of the lights from the city, three miles away, dawned upon them. "We "What time is it?" she ventured. "Only 12:30," he assured. She swooned, right there on the dusty road the other side of Bladensburg. He bent over her and rubbed her face, salved her with encouraging words. While in this act, an auto carrying a certain physician, whose name we will not divulge, and a certain lawyer, whose name we will keep as confidential, came by in a runabout. Noticing a man bending over a woman in the middle of the road, they stopped. Each recognized the other. "What's the matter?" inquired the physician, jumping out of his —— car. Our attorney friend, sitting in the car, had a vision of a divorce case with a good fat fee for himself. The physician, who luckily had his case along, administered some antidote, and the lady opened her eyes. "Where am I?" she whispered. Out on the Bladensburg road, the physician assured. "Am I near home?" she next lined. "About three miles from home," the physician brutally assured. She swooned again. "Here." said the attorney, climbing out of the car in which he sat, "give her a sip of this," producing a fine bottle of the vintage of 1880. Guggle, guggle, the red liquor annunciated as it made it way down her throat. Again she opened her eyes. The physician and attorney lifted her into their auto, climbed in themselves, and remarking to her gay cavalier, that their machine was only built for two, and three crowded it, cranked up, and sped on to the city, leaving our gay cavalier to continue his moonlight walk alone. At about 2 a. m. they pulled up in front of the lady's mansion. Bright lights were burning, and the hubby restlessly pacing the floor, was wondering where his wife could be. The lawyer and physician carried her in. Explanations were made, but some old sage like Hubbard of the Roycrofter fame has said that explanations explain nothing. The lawyer suggested that the husband, in order to protect his wife from slanderous tongues, had better forgive and forget. and for this advice, a $10 promissary note issued by the government would be sufficient. The physician suggested that transportation rates for his car from Blandensburg to _____ was about the same. The hubby forked over. The attorney suggested that for a mere pittance of $25 he could cause the party of three that had passed his wife and companion away out on the road could be made to say "mum's the word." The dutiful hubby who had sworn to love and protect, went down into his jeans for the hard earned $25, and forked it over. After the physician and attorney had retired—then about 2.15 a. m., the hubby broke, tenderly, to his wife, that her automobile ride had cost $45, and he had to foot the bill. She sobbed and cried. Her tears, rolling down a pair of extremely high-brown cheeks, touched him. He had sworn vengeance on the feller what took her out automobiling, and kept her away until jocund day stood tiptoe over the misty way, but her tears and pleadings induced him to let bygones be bygones. Now this aint no romance. It's an actual prosy incident that actually took place. I'm narrating it, without names, dates or residential numbers, just to insidiously insinuate that married women that have lawful, dutiful hubbies who carry as much as $45 around in their clothes, had better not go automobile riding with some other woman's husband who don't know what to do when the carbeneter goes off on a vacation, and the sparkplug gets on a jag. If you must go automobiling with some other woman's man, pick out one who knows everything about an automobile from how to vulcanize a rubber tire to how to get you home before the gossips get on to the delightful spin out in the country. Names, dates and residential numbers, we have filed in our safety deposit box, marked "Exhibit A in a Clandestine Automobile Ride." Why stand ye here late And complain of hard times? Seek other jobs and rest your fiddle, And hang up your fishing lines. For your wife has carried the load. Your conscience should wake you up. She did her best by trusting the Lord, While you gossip, loiter and tip the cup. On Christmas Day you had no shoes, Your wife laid sick in a chilly bed, Minus of coal and scanty bed clothes And your children crying for bread. Why do you complain of hard times Depending on your fiddle and bow? Your fiddle's out of date and has no charms. Go back to the plow and the hoe. You put up a front and look like a man. But never say, "Come with me Home." Your days on earth are very few You never will amount to much, Walking about with nothing to do, Not even a member of the church. You read the "Bee" and have never paid It will give them information, That will ease their troubled mind; And help you to find situation, Not fiddling and lagging behind. I wish you a Happy New Year, And to Hades your fiddle and bow. For you hereafter have a God to fear Before croaking and going below. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE TO CONVENE IN BOSTON. Fittingly Celebrates Fifteenth Anniversary by Returning to Place * of Birth. Tuskegee, Ala., January 1.—At the meeting of the National Negro Business League held last August in Muskogee, Oklahoma, invitations to hold the next meeting were received from and through the Local Negro Business Leagues of Boston, Massachusetts; Kansas City, Missouri; and Chicago, Illinois. The Executive Committee decided to leave the matter of the final decision to a committee composed of Dr. Booker T. Washington, President; Hon. J. C. Napier, Chairman of the Executive Committee, and Emmett J. Scott, Secretary. All these invitations were most cordial, but after weighing all matters carefully, it has been decided to hold the next meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, in response to the invitation received from the Boston Negro Business League No. 1, whose invitation to the League follows: August 19, 1914, National Negro Business League, Emmett J. Scott, Secretary 199 South Second Street, Carter Building, Muskogee, Okla. Boston League invites National League Convention nineteen fifteen. J. Henderson Allen, Secretary. The National Negro Business League was organized in Boston, August, 1900, and so the fifteenth anniversary of the organization will be celebrated in connection with the coming meeting to be held there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18th, 19th and 20th, 1915. The Local Negro Business League of Boston is more united than ever before, and all the forces are working together to make the coming meeting a memorable one. The National organization working in earnest co-operation with the Boston Negro Business League No.1, will do everything possible to assure at Boston a meeting in every way worthy of the progress and influence of the League during the past fifteen years. COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. Associate Justice Affirms Jury's Verdict Against Commissioner. GOING TO SUPREME COURT. Writ of Review to Be Asked From That Bench—Defendant Says "I-Do Meet the Statutory Requirements for Commissioner of District"—Contests President's Acts Should Not Be Questioned. Associated Justice Van Orsdel of the District Court of Appeals, handed down an opinion Monday affirming the verdict of a jury in the District Supreme Court that Oliver P. Newman was not entitled to the office of commissioner of the District and approving the judgment of Justice Gould of the lower court on the verdict ousting him from the office. Associate Justice Robb concurred in the opinion, but Chief Justice Shepard dissented. Mr. Newman was appointed by the President and the appointment was confirmed by the Senate. Mr Newman's contention, upheld by Justice Anderson in the District Supreme Court, was that the act of the President should not be reviewed by the court. Will Go To Supreme Court. Mr. Newman is not to give up the office until the United States Supreme Court has passed on his case. Proceedings will be started at once to procure a writ of review form that tribunal. Mr. Newman said: "I am just as positive as ever in my belief that I do in fact meet the statutory requirements for commissioner and that the determination of that fact is exclusively the function of the President and the Senate." Attorney Jackson H. Ralston of the firm of Ralston & Richardson, who with Attorney George W. Hott, represents Mr. Newman, declined to discuss the case. Attorneys A. A. Birney, Neale and England, and former Senator Joseph W. Balley, representing W. J. Frizzel, who, as an "interested taxpayer," began the ouster suit against Mr. Newman, are confident that if the case reaches the highest tribunal the findings of the lower courts will be sustained. Favors Close Restriction. Chief Justice Shepard has not yet filed his dissenting opinion. Justice Van Orsdel speaks vigorously on the point of actual residence. His opinion says: "Every reason exists for this restrictive statute. As to most officers of the District there is no such limitation placed upon the appointing power, they may be selected from the country at large; but the commissioners are the chief executive and administrative officers of the District, and they also legislate for the District in those matters specially delegated by Congress. If the will of Congress is to be ignored, better appoint a person coming under the second limitation of the statute who had actually resided here for three, ten or thirty years, but who had claimed residence elsewhere. In the latter violation, the public good at least, would be better subserved." Undreamed of passions have burst forth, devouring the lindas that patient hands have beautified and made fertile, and centuries have stocked with art treasures. To the entire world the war has come as a complete surprise because they have not read our book (660 pages—cloth) telling that just such conditions would exist, only to be followed by the still greater devastation of anarchy. The first edition came from the press in 1897. Of-vaster interest and importance is its promise of better things in store for this earth, when the wrath of nations has run its course.

PARAGRAPHIC One true friend changes the whole world. Germany has adopted a law giving a two-minute rest between the reels of moving pictures. This saves the eyes of the spectators. It is said the leaf of the pineapple can be wrought into a serviceable cloth. The leaf of the cocoanut tree is nearly thirty feet long, while a single leaf of the parasol magnolia, of Ceylon, will shelter 15 or 20 persons. A featherless chicken, six months old, is a curiosity belonging to Charles Robinson, of Phillipsburg, N. J. Its skin is smooth and velvety, with a sign of hair or feather. It is the owner's intention to breed from this chick, as featherless broilers would be likely to command high prices. Kangaroo farming is a very important industry in Australia. America's Xmas present 100 years ago was the treaty of Ghent; this put to end the two years' conflict with England, known as the war of 1812. The peace treaty was signed in the little Belgian town of Ghent, Xmas eve, December 24, 1814. It was welcomed heartily by England and the United States. Unbroken peace has existed between Great Britain and the United States since that date. Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 31.—No race or color lines may be drawn by Pennsylvania moving picture theater managers in providing seating arrangements for patrons, according to an opinion handed down today by Judge S. J. McCarell, of the Dauphin county court. The decision settles so far as the lower courts are concerned, the appeal of moving picture proprietors from the verdict of a Dauphin county jury which convicted a moving picture proprietor of discriminating against Frank N.

Va.-From the Cumberland mountains of Pike county, eastern Kentucky, comes the story of an old mountaineer who attended his own funeral services, being carried to the log cabn meeting house to listen to the words of the evangelist who travels through the mountains. Jud Maerson, a typical mountaineer, living in one of the wildest sections, some distance from Elkhorn City, became ill and feared no funeral services would follow his death. Therefore when the exhorter made his periodical trip through the hills he requested that his funeral be held. The day was appointed, and the mountain people for miles around flocked to the log cabin church. Maerson, who had been falling fast, was much improved on the day of the funeral and was carried to the church. The obsequies, as is often the case in the mountains, were made a gain occasion, after the services an old fashioned dame being held. MARKET NATURE'S WONDERS Twin Butternuts and "Ladies" Tresses" Among the Oddities. Harrisburg, Pa.—Daniel Stouffer, a Cumberland county farmer, living near Enola, exhibited some curiosities at the Verbeke street market in the way of butternuts. He gathered three bushels of the nuts in the mountains and found among them a number of twin nuts, the shells being fastened together for about an inch at one end and then widely separating, in heart shape. Mr. Stouffer has also gattiered some fine hazelnuts, which are quite rare in this vicinity. Dr. John II. Fager was made happy recently over a find he made in the same market of specimens of a native orchid, "ladies' tresses," or "twisted stalk." This is one of about sixty native orchids of the state and difficult to find. Dr. Fager says "one might wander about for hours and secure only half a dozen stalks, and here they are, from Fishing Creek valley, in nosegays of fifty or more, for a cent a bunch." Berlin.—A German artillerist writing from France tells of the death of a French aviator who was brought down by German gunners. "Today I saw a French aviator brought down by our guns," he said. "The French filers had been growing bolder and bolder, especially in reconnoitering behind our front, and so we concealed a half battery of howitzers in a village about four miles to the rear in order to teach them a lesson. Things happened as we expected. By 8 o'clock in the morning there came an aeroplane, sailing along with the greatest assurance in the world. The guns at the front were not permitted to fire, and after passing them the aviator, thinking all danger past, kept coming lower and lower, reaching finally a level of only about 1,000 feet. Not suspecting that he would encounter German artillery so far in the rear he came within easy shooting distance for our gunners in the village. "Suddenly two shots were heard, and two little white clouds were observed in the air not far from the aeroplane. The aviator remained virtually at the same spot until he was almost enveloped by the next two cloudlets. One shot exploded just in front of him, the other just behind him. Our men had got their range very quickly. "The next two shots, fired almost simultaneously, settled its fate. The first one cut off a wing smoothly; the other was a square hit, and the apparatus was scattered to the four winds. I have not seen such a beautiful shot in the whole war. The gun pointer who fired it had already distinguished himself on several occasions, and he won the iron cross. The fragments of this aeroplane were picked up afterward from a wide range of ground, but of the aviator only a few bits were found." JOFFRE TO BE AN "IMMORTAL" Count de Mun's Seat In Academy Reserved For Commander. Paris. - L'Opinion announces that there will be no competition for the vacancy among the "immortals" caused by the death of Count Albert de Mun, as the academy has decided to reserve the vacancy for General Joffre, the commander in chief of the French forces. The forty members of the French academy constituting the "immortals" include at present two famous military commanders, General de Freyéinet, who has filled many high positions in the government, and General Lyautey, who completed the conquest of Morocco for France.

These Animals Must Have Throat Cut In Some Instances, While In Other Cases Head Is Cut Off to Conform With Religion—Beef Is Not Eaten at All by the Orthodox. London.—The East Indian troops are giving no end of trouble because of their fastidiousness in eating. In the Netley hospital, near Southampton, Hildus and Mohammedan wounded almost came to blows over the question of how their goat and sheep should be served. It has been necessary to separate them to avoid fighting. The Mohammedan wants the animals' heads cut off; the Hindu insists that the throat shall be cut and the beast allowed to bleed to death, after custom immemorial. At first the British in charge of the hospital were inclined to weigh the matter lightly, but they found that it 1 Photo by American Press Association. EAST INDIAN SOLDIERS WHO MUST HAVE SPECIALLY PREPARED FOOD. was of serious concern to the Indian. After two or three clashes between the factions they were placed in different parts of the hospital. An Anglo-Indian writing in the London Times on the camp life and caste peculiarities of Great Britain's transplanted Indian troops furnishes a lively and entertaining narrative. After describing the strange picture made by a column of Punjabi Mussulmans as they drove before them in a French boulevard a flock of sheep and bearded goats and relating incidents of the intense admiration the French people have for these oriental allies, the writer takes up the peculiar problem the commissariat has to meet in supplying the various castes and sects of the Indian army with meat food. "Of the composition of the camp I must say nothing," he writes, "but the mere creeds and castes from which the Indian expeditionary force is drawn will suggest to any one who knows the east the most complicated problem of commissariat. The Gurkha, the Rajput and other Hindus will eat goat or mutton provided the animal has been killed in a special and orthodox way. The disgust which the strict Hindu feels at physical contact with beef is so intense that he will sometimes vomit at the sight of it. The prejudice is so inveterate that Mohammedans who are the descendants of Hindu converts cannot reconcille themselves to the taste. Happily pork, the Moslem abomination, does not complicate the question of army rations. "But the crux is not so much the nature of the meat to be provided as the manner in which it is killed and cooked. In the case of sheep the Sikh villager's gorge will rise when he sees meat prepared by the Mohammedan butcher, who kills by the halal or throat cutting stroke, just as the Mohammedan feels it an outrage that meat should be hung up for sale that has been killed by the jatka—the stroke at the back of the neck affected by the Sikhs. In France now a certain amount of tinned mutton is eaten willingly by the troops, but the great bulk of commissariat meat must be sent alive to railhead and slain there in accordance with prescribed rites. "That the men may know whether they are eating clean or unclean flesh units are detached to a point near railhead, where each man, to be Mohammedan, Sikh or Hindu, dispatches his beast by his own peculiar sacrificial stroke, marks it as clean and sends it on to his comrades in the trenches." Smoke Ball Protects Air Craft. Berlin—German aviators have a new way of protecting their airships. When an attempt is made to shoot them down the aviator starts a smoke ball, which soon becomes a big brown cloud that swallows up the machine.

Senate of the United States passed a bill last week prohibiting Negroes from immigrating to the United States, West Indian Negroes particularly. Three or four republican Senators voted with the solid democratic majority in the Senate in favor of this bill. The Bee could not have expected any more from those republican Senators who aided the democratic Senate in passing this bill. The Southern legislators have fully demonstrated their cowardice. They are afraid that the Negro will force themselves upon them, which is a fallacy coming from a distorted mind. Every sensible white man and woman knows that no Colored man or Colored woman will attempt to force himself or herself into white society. There are a few amalgamated Negroes, who want to be white, and who are today sailing under false colors and drawing money from our schools under false pretenses. But, why should a whole nation of people be discriminated against on account of a few? This bill is aimed at the Negroes, Japanese and other darker races. Great Britain, with all of her boasted bravery, is depending upon her darker races to win her fight against Germany. The question in the mind of The Bee is would it not be better for the Colored race to side with Germany in this great struggle for supremacy. Let us now come to the United States which boasts of so much freedom and independence. We have a democratic Congress and with the aid of a few white republicans passes a bill prohibiting immigration of the darker races in this country and invites the Belgians to Immigrate to the South, which will relieve that section of a race which has been loyal to every trust. If the Belgian can live in the South, let them come. There is a fact which has not, as yet, been disclosed, the negro must sooner or later fight. This war of races must come in this country. The war with Japan and the United States will come sooner than we may expect. The world today respects Japan, and had it not been for Japan Great Britain would not be as successful as she is. France has respect for the Negro soldiers. The existing contest between the European nations has demonstrated the superiority of the Negro troops. The American people are too jealous of the superiority of the Negro soldiers in battle. Why should a democratic Senate pass a bill prohibiting any nation of people coming into a supposed civilized country. The uneducated classes of Africa are seeking light. Why should they be stopped. Is this American civilization encouragement to the heathens? The Negro is not discouraged. He sees great things before him. A CHANGE IN THE SCHOOLS A correspondent to the New York Age from this city says that Prof. Williams of the High School will be transferred from that school to assistant superintendent vice Mr. Rosecoe C. Bruce and Mr. Bruce will be made one of the faculty of the High School. The Bee is aware that there is a feeling of unrest among the teachers in the Colored public schools which is taxing the patience of the superintendent, Mr. E. L. Thurston. Mr. Thurston has just concluded an investigation and what he has found he will not state until he is ready to act. The most serious investigation that he is now conducting is the recent investigation of the vacant librarianship, WHAT NEXT! The attitude of Congress on the Immigration bill, a clause of which prohibits the admission into the United States of persons of African extraction impresses us more and more of the opinion that the South is our most bitter enemy. This impression is intensified by the constant advertisement on the part of the South for European immigrants. For well nigh three centuries we have been at the South, laboring and foiling without just compensation and with waning hopes of civil and political advancement. Our energies have been spent in enriching the white people and actually impoverishing ourselves. Our liberties have been invaded, our prospects for civil and intellectual improvement blasted, our homes desecrated, and all the incentives calculated to stimulate amor patriae deadened by the relentless tyranny and oppression of Bourbon vindictiveness and Bourbon hate. Human slavery has given place to political slavery. The clang of chains has been silenced by war, but the spirit which forged the bonds is rampant. The spirit of intolerance which ignored the claims of colored men to humanity is still exercised in the manifestations which ignore said claims to the rights and privileges of freedmen and citizens. Indeed, considering the vast improvement we have made during the past half century, and at the same time observing the exceedingly slight change in the disposition of the South towards us in the matter of according us our rights, we have reasons to be alarmed for the future of the colored people. The tendencies of the South are to crush out every spark of manhood we possess. Our former masters are systematically withholding from us the means of enlightment by making the school term of the least possible duration. Indeed, there is no school system at the South for colored people, so far as practical utility is concerned. The whites, fearing lest the colored people shall become unwieldy by reason of education and refinement, are withholding even from themselves the means of intellectual and moral improvement, and thus the colored people and the poorer class of whites are permitted to grow up in ignorance, shackled by bitter antagonisms and poisoned by vicious tendencies. In the light of these facts, the question naturally forces itself upon us, what are we going to do about it? What the colored people need and want is to enjoy a larger need of liberty—to feel the pulsations of a heart unterfired by the pereptual fear of interference, and to have the consciousness of complete manhood and independence. And however we may feel towards ourselves in this matter, we owe it to our children to place them under such conditions as will tend to expand their manhood and womanhood, and to instil in their minds, enforced by practical tests and illustrations, the purest ideas of morality, of manhood and of independence. This cannot be done at the South. The great West and Northwest offer inducements to the colored people; there they can live and labor among friends who lead them into the grooves of peace and prosperity. This is a serious matter and must be handled seriously sooner or later. Our hearts cry, "Let us go West! Let us leave the land of oppression. Let us secure homes where virtues are respected and manhood and womanhood are protected; where peace and prosperity await the honest and industrious, and where civil and political rights are granted and enforced. Let us be up and doing. Let the European try his hand with the Southern tyrant; and the value of the colored people will be appreciated only when it is too late for the Southern white man's best interests. The attitude of Congress on the Inrohibits the admission into the United Infection impresses us more and more, our most bitter enemy. This impressive advertisement on the part of the South well nigh three centuries we have been beging without just compensation and without technical advancement. Our energies by white people and actually impoverished been invaded, our prospects for civil lasted, our homes desecrated, and stimulate amor patriae deadened byression of Bourbon vindictiveness and as given place to political slavery, violenced by war, but the spirit which is spirit of intolerance which ignored humanity is still exercised in the manifesto to the rights and privileges of freeering the vast improvement we we century, and at the same time observe in the disposition of the South toward us our rights, we have reasons to be colored people.

The Bee makes no appeal for sympathy from this democratic Congress. The Bee asks that the black man be protected in his civil and political rights. The Bee repeats that some must die, so that others may be free. Congress may pass objectionable laws, but The Bee predicts that before they become operative this government will be so involved that it will be impossible to execute them. If the Colored American must fight, let them be well prepared, because the time is fast approaching for them to defend their wives and their children. While it is true that stabs are given by the friends as well as by the enemy, right is bound to prevail. If there is any spirit of patriotism in the hearts of the Colored Americans for those who are weaker than they are let them show it. The history of the newly emancipated will show that every impediment has been thrown across his pathway, but he continues to rise and advance. Segregation has failed to impede his progress. Disfranchisement has made his stronger. Demotions, transfers and discharges from the government services have not reduced his income or decreased the accumulation of property. Another scheme of a more gigantic machine has been adopted and that is to prevent him from enjoying or exercising the rights of American citizenship. The time has come when we are in need of a Langston, Douglass, Elliott, Garrett, Wears and Delaney. The present-day leadership is but the shadow of the past. It is but a cloud passing over the heads of a boasted American civilization. But why should we worry? Why should we become dispondent, where a just God rules the destinies of nations. Base ingratitude, jealousy, prejudice and selfishness have taken a strong hold on those who would stop progress. Nations as well as political parties are bound to manifest jealousy. But, why should we weep, when unjust wrongs will be righted, either by the gun or by pestilence, because it is written. The prayers of the Colored Americans are more effective than any law that may be enacted to degenerate or degrade a nation of peoples. Japan will not tolerate America's unjust laws and legislation against her people and if this government believes that the Colored American will continue to tolerate these frequent insults against them, some one will be convinced otherwise. Japan, may not have any love for the Colored American, but it is a nation that believes in right and justice no matter from what source it may come. Present legislative enactments are base ingratitude. and if the facts come out as they have been presented to Mr. Thurston the most diabolical piece of treachery and slander will be exposed. Dr. Thurston has already denied a slanderous statement of a school official, which is not necessary at this time to relate, but in due time and under proper power everything will come to light. Dr. Thurston is a conscientious man, and is determined to be fair and just to all before he acts, regardless of what may be brought to light. this young man. Prof. N. E. Weatherby, a teacher in the High School, is mentioned. This gentleman is one of the best educated men in the United States. He is not only a teacher, but he is a lawyer of ability and a man with a trade. He is enterprising and progressive. Prof. Hugh M. Brown, is, no doubt, the best educator among his people in the United States. Prof. Brown has no doubt traveled more extensively than any Colored edu If there is to be any change in the superintendency The Bee would suggest to the superintendent to consult the people, because a teacher dares not give his honest opinion. No teacher should be allowed to express his preference in this direction. Among the most prominent mentioned in this direction are: Prof. Montgomery, who seems to be a favorite with the entire teaching body. Prof. Montgomery is undoubtedly a favorite with the teachers and the people. Prof. Thomas M. Gregory of Howard University is mentioned. Not a more popular or a more highly educated young man exists than without strong and loyal friends American people.

Brown, is, no doubt, the best educator among his people in the United States. Prof. Brown has no doubt traveled more extensively than any Colored educator in this country. From what The Bee his been informed there are to be changes, not only in the schools higher up, but in the Board of Education. There is a great demand by the people for the return of Capt. James F. Oyster to the Board of Education. There is no man more popular with the entire corps of teachers and school officials than Captain Oyster. Teachers say that when he was president of the Board of Education, no man gave greater satisfaction and endeavored to settle all school questions in a more equitable manner than this idol of the people. It is quite evident that Superintendent Thurston will remedy the evils that exist in the Colored schools to the satisfaction of all. OHIO SPEAKS. Ex-Senator John P. Green of Ohio arrived in the city Tuesday morning and came directly to the office of The Bee with a report of a mass meeting of Colored citizens held in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, protesting against the Immigrabill that recently passed the Senate. Mr. Green represents the great state of Ohio, who came here to protest against that unjust Immigration bill. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives and if it passes it will be sent to the President. Mr. Wilson is a Christion so it has been said. He represents all the people irrespective of color or condition. As a Christian President he would not sign such a bill prohibiting a class or classes of people from immigrating to a civilized country. The Colored citizens of Ohio have taken the initiative. What have other States done? What has become of the Association for the Advancement of the Colored People? We have neither seen or read of a protest from any other source but Ohio. What are the sleepy Negroes in this city doing? On a dress parade, no doubt, while many others have become intoxicated from the effects of frivolity. Why hasn't the one hundred thousand Colored citizens, said something? Why haven't the churches spoken? Now is the time for the people to rise and denounce and protest against this most cowardly bill. Mr. Green, who has been delegated to represent the people of Ohio, is a man of bravery. He is no coward. When he speaks he speaks like a man and an American citizen. His address before the Immigration Committee will be one of force. Has the Colored man gone into a trance? or is he asleep? If the Negro must strike now is the time. Why hesitate? Why should he delay? RALPH W. TYLER. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler may have his faults, he may be what some people say he is, but he is to-day one of the greatest journalists in the United States. As Auditor for the Navy under the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, he was the only colored American who was master of his office, with no exceptions. No white man run his office and no white dictated to him concerning promotions and appointments of colored clerks. He did more for the elevation and success of our public schools than the entire Board of Education. It was Mr. Tyler who made it possible for our new Normal and High School. He is the kind of material needed in our schools. The day will come when his works will be justly rewarded. THE BELGIAN RECEPTION. The coming charity reception for the benefit of the Belgian sufferers, at Convention Hall, Friday evening, January 15th, under the auspices of a representative citizens' committee, will no doubt be one of the greatest social events for charity that has ever been given in this city. Mr. Leon S. Wormly, the Chairman of the general committee, is a young and active worker, who deserves the support of the citizens. Judge Robert H. Terrell is the Chairman of the Executive Committee; Mr. Andrew J. Thomas is the Chairman of the Music Committee. The Bee's contemporary, Mr. J. Finley Wilson, is the Chairman of the Publishing Committee, and a very active Chairman at that. The Bee hopes that the people will do all in their power to make the coming affair a success and demonstrate to the world that the American negro has humanity in his heart. DR. NORMAN SOUTH. The Bee's distinguished townman, Dr. Norman, went to Shiloh, N. C., last week and delivered his celebrated lecture, entitled "The Black Man's Burdens." The report is that two thousand people greeted the great Norman and hundreds were turned away. So so dense was the crowd that the capacity of the church was even taxed. ATTORNEY GEO. F. COLLINS. The election of Attorney Geo. F. Collins as the successor of the late James F. Bundy as secretary of the Howard University Law School, was a compliment to a brilliant and successful young lawyer. Mr. Collins has not only the respect and confidence of the law faculty of the University, but he has the respect of the bench of Senator Green of Ohio Remains In House Gallery Arc and in His Ecstacy is Threatened To Be Put Out. He Brings the News to the Bee Office. the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia as well. CHRISTMAS GREETINGS. The editor of The Bee, acknowledges with gratitude and appreciation Christmas greetings from Dr. Booker T. Washington and his most amiable wife, Secretary Emmett J. Scott and his most loved madam, Dr. and Mrs. James E. Shepard, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and many other distinguished citizens of the United States: Somebody will get hurt when Congress investigates the Colored schools. We think we know it all sometimes, but it turns out we don't know anything. A little power sometimes works to the destruction of some people. These-hold over republicans in office will be looking for some other jobs soon. They may reduce colored clerks to cater to the party in power, but that will not help them in the least. Editor James A. Ross of Buffalo, N.Y., who is booked for the recordership, is a lawyer of ability. Just what the President will do is not definitely known, but this is a fact, there will be a clean sweep in the hands of that office, even if a colored man is not appointed. THE NEGRO ACADEMY. An organization called the Negro Academy met in this city a few days ago. Some of the speakers were told to discuss the given subjects from a scientific standpoint. Just what the presiding officer meant by this, no one would venture to ask. The object of this organization is, it is said, to discuss the Negro and his appertainances from a scientific point of view. Now, The Bee would suggest to these gentlemen who compose the Academy, to secure a few of Dr. Booker T. Washington's books recently published by him and perhaps the Negro Academy would prefer to discuss the Negro and all of his belonging from a common-sense point of view. HOLD-OVER REPUBLICANS. HOLD-OVER REPUBLICANS: The greatest menace to the Administration is the hold-over Republicans who are catering to Southern Democrats to save their bacon. If Mr. Wilson would fill their places with men of his own party he will find that Colored office holders are not as bad as they are painted by Republican hold-overs. A hold-over Republican, who couldn't earn a living outside of his office, demoted and transferred a young colored lady, because he said that she could earn money and is about average in the position to which he wanted her to go. The most ridiculous argument set forth by the hold-over is that the young colored lady is more competent in the place she has never been than the place from which she was transferred and has been in for over two years. Yet a woman who didn't know the abreviation of a month and drawing a salary is more competent than the colored clerk, who is a graduate and an expert in the work from which she was transferred. If The Bee information is correct, this hold-over Republican, who was legislated out of office a few years ago, has but a few days longer to remain. If this hold-over knew what The Bee knows he would resign now. NORTHEAST NEWS. On December 29, 1914, the Tuesday Night Club of Northeast Washington was entertained by Mrs. P. W.

Longan Johnson The marriage of Mr. Jesse H. Foster and Miss Ella R. Jones took place last Sunday evening at the residence of Rev. Logan Johnson, 2009 Vermont Avenue N. W., at 9:30 p. m. The marriage was very quiet, only a few of the most intimate friends of both contracting parties being present. At 9 o'clock p. m., Mr. Foster and his best man, Mr. Watkins, drove to the residence of the bride, 1538 T Street N. W., where she was in waiting with her maid of honor, Miss Williamson. Both the bride and her maid were becomingly gowned in traveling customs. They were driven to the residence of Rev. Logan Johnson, 2009 Vermont Avenue N. W., who received the bridal party in the front parlor, where he pronounced Mr. Foster and Miss Jones husband M. MR. JESSE H. FOSTER, and wife. After having received the congratulations of the pastor and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Foster took the midnight train for a short trip and returned to the city Monday morning. Miss Jones is originally from South Carolina, where she was educated. She is one of the most refined and progressive business young women in this city. For sometime she has been A MRS. ELLA R. FOSTER. the business manager of the Foster's Dye Works, a business that has become famous in this city and where- ever the name of Foster is heard. Mr. Foster has been in business for some time and has built up one of the best if not the leading dye works establishment in this city. His place of business commands one of the most prominent corners in the city of Washington, and with his new helpmate there is no doubt he will continue to lead in this line of business. Mr. and Mrs. Foster are two genial personages and it is the wish of the Bee and their numerous friends that their honeymoon may be perpetual. In a few days Mr. and Mrs. Foster will move into their own home. At present Mr. and Mrs. Foster will make their home at G1538 T Street N. W. Miss Jones is the niece of Prof. H. L. McCurney, president of Biddle University of Charlotte, South Carolina, and coming as she does from one of the leading-and most highly respected families in the State accounts for accomplishments and highly cultured disposition.

On Saturday, January 2, 1915, the very handsome residence of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Grimshaw, 924 S Street N. W., presented one of the most beautiful pictures ever witnessed in this city, the occasion being the marriage of Miss Ruth Grimshaw, the youngest of this couple, and Dr. William H. Greene, of Newark, N. J. The parlor of this home had been tastefully decorated with Christmas greens, holly, palms, ferns, etc., and the bay window had been converted into an Eden's bower where Cupid himself could dwell. An eight-foot arch, constructed of ruscus mounted upon evergreen, formed the dome of the altar under which the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church. Promptly at 6:30 o'clock Miss Hattie Holmes began the musical program arranged by the bride by playing MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose." This was immediately followed by a beautiful rendition from Lohengrin's Wedding March, "Faithful and True," sung by the quartet consisting of the Misses Virginia and Ada Williams, and Messrs. Ferdinand Amos and Sevellon Savoy. To this most appropriate wedding refrain the bridal party was ushered into the parlor by four ribbon bearers, Misses Lou Mayer, Margaret Wilson, Norma Sewall and Irene Taylor, who, as they approached the altar unfolded broad bands of white satin ribbon several yards long, forming an aisle for the bridal procession. The ushers, Dr. Arthur Curtis, Jr., Dr. Robert Wilson, Dr. Charles Tignor, Mr. Walter Grimshaw and Mr. John Cromwell, Jr., preceded the bride's malds and formed the setting for the horse shoe design finished by the rest of the bridal party. While the bridal chorus was still being sung Mr. Leonard Freeman, of New York, who acted as best man to the groom, was seen to enter the parlor leading Dr. Greene, the groom-elect, to a position immediately in front of the waiting minister. An unusual and striking effect was then presented by the attendants upon the bride, each of whom carried long shepherd's crooks trimmed in pink satin over which were tied large bows of pink tulle. The first brides mald to enter the ribboned asle was Miss Edna Murray, who wore a dress of pink crepe meteor and silk lace, with tunis and vest of gold lace. She was immediately followed by Miss Minnie Wilson, whose gown of canary crepe de chine was covered with ruffles of shadow lace and chiffon. Miss Eva Jackson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., a former playmate of the bride, was the visiting bridesmaid. She wore pink charmeuse with tunic of pink tulle embroidered in pink ribbon. The maid of honor, Miss Orleon Lane, a teacher in Atlantic City, followed, wearing white charmeuse and chiffon with crystal trimmings. The pathway of the bride was strewn with roses by little Mildred Mallory, who was followed by the tiny two-year-old niece of the bride, Baby Evelyn Washington, carrying a pink satin pillow containing the wedding ring. Through this ribboned alse, strewn with petals of roses, lined on either side with relatives and dear friends, under festoons of Christmas greens relieved with poinsetta blossoms, into the atmosphere filled with fragrance of roses and carnations, came the sweet faced and charming youngest daughter of the household, Miss Ruth Grimshaw, resting upon the arm of her father, who had marched to the altar on two other occasions to "give away" daughters. She was beautifully gowned in white crepe de chine and accordion pleated chiffon with redingote trimmed with white fur. Her point lace veil fell in graceful folds from a cap of orange blossoms, while her handkerchief, of Italian lace, was a family heirloom, having been in the possession of the family for fifty years. Her bridal bouquet consisted of roses and a shower of lilies of the valley. A diamond lavailier, the gift of the groom, and a gold brooch, a gift of her father, were exquisite pieces of jewelry which she also wore. While the entire bridal party was assembled at the altar the sweet voice of Miss Nettle Murray was heard from the rear parlor singing "You, Alone," at the same time Baby Evelyn Washington was sprinkling rose petals all around the feet of the bride and groom, thereby lending a most pleasing and auspicious setting to the ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony the entire bridal party retired to the dining room, there to behold a most pleasing sight arranged by the cousin of the groom, Mr. Charles B. Lee. The table, set in antique silver, candleabra, cut poinsetta blossoms, old blue china, and pink carnations, was further embellished by a large three tier wedding cake having a wedding bell mounted upon it. Here a bountiful repast was enjoyed. The bride is a graduate of the Washington High and Normal Schools, having taught something over two years in the public schools here. She is also a most accomplished pianist, having been graduated cum laude from the Washington Conservatory of Music. Dr. William H. Greene, who is now a practicing physician of Newark, N. J., is a graduate of the High School of that city, and of the Long Island Hospital College. He was at one time an interne at Freedmen's Hospital. Mr. William H. Grimshaw, the father of the bride, is one of the highly respected citizens of this city, having lived here a long time where he has educated his entire family. For a long time he was in charge of the Sénate Reading Room at the Congressional Library, holding that position until during the present administration he was changed to another place in the same building. His administration as Grand Master of the Masons of this district is looked upon as one of unusual success to the craft as well as the general uplift, of the masonic life in the community. The matrons receiving were headed by Mrs. Fletcher, a sister of the bride, who presented the bride's mother to the guests. She was brilliantly gowned in blue crepe de chine, with trimmings of brown fur and passamenterie. The mother of the bride wore black embroidered chiffon robe and introduced the cousin of the groom, Mrs. Charles B. Lee, who was gowned in white crepe meteor chiffon and point lace, and who also wore a handsome brooch of opals, diamonds and pearls. Misses Virginia and Ada Williams, who sang in the quartet, were handsomely gowned in crepe de chine. Miss V. L. Williams wore a pink crepe de chine dress, over which silk lace was draped. Miss Ada Williams wore a beautiful white gown, simply but artistically made. Over this white lace was draped. Mrs. Benjamin Washington, the youngest sister of the bride and the mother of baby Evelyn, wore white charmeuse with tunic of chiffon embroidered in passamenterie. Visiting guests in the receiving line were Mrs. Essie M. Evans of Hampton, Va., and Miss Mamie Jackson, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Each of the departing guests was presented with a service of the bridal cake handsomely encased in appropriate wedding cake boxes, covered with rich moire embossed paper, tied with baby ribbon, by Miss Ruth Morris, a dear friend of the bride. Numerous other useful and decorative gifts were received, but space will not permit the publication of them or their donors. The traveling costume of the bride was of green broadcloth, and a large picture had with ostrich trimmings, and handsome furs of seal and fitch, the latter the gift of her father. After a short honeymoon trip through the East the bridal party will return to the home of the groom in Newark, N. J., the gift of the groom's mother, where they will reside. The entire affair was under the direction of the connoisseur of things matrimonial, Mr. Benjamin Washington. BRILLIANT NEW YEAR RECEPTION One of the most brilliant functions was given New Year's Day at 1515 Church street N. W., when Mesdames J. W. Lee, H. Thompson, Anna Colston and Miss Jetta Steward, received a number of guests from 3 to 11 P. M. The home was tastefully decorated in holiday attire, red and green being the color scheme. From one corner of the room to the other, long lines of holly and evergreen were draped artistically, while in the center of the room, a sprig of mistletoe was suspended. This sprig caused the down fall of many an unsuspecting lady, who happened to wander beneath it. The hostesses were attractively dressed in harmony with the other features. Mrs. J. W. Lee was charmingly attired in a blue chiffon silk, Mrs. H. Thompson wore a handsome yellow satin tunic, trimmed with gold lace and white chiffon. Mrs. Anna Colston was very beautifully costumed in a black spangled dress with a red rose, while Miss Jetta Steward wore a fine gown of plink satin. About 250 guests were admitted during the entire course of the reception, some of the most distinguished of whom were Rev. C. H. Stepteau, Rev. E. E. Ricks, Dr. Cabaniss, Rev. Harris of Israel Church, any many others. Covers were laid for fifteen and the guests were served in sets. In the center of the large dining room table was a sumptuous dish of various fruits, while at each plate a small, rosebud added to the beauty of the setting. the menu served consisted of chicken salad, cheese sandwiches, hot chocolate, after dinner mints, ice cream and caramel cake, assorted fruit. DOVES INTRODUCE NEW FEA- TURE. The Moonlight and Rainbow illumination for the Dansant, a new fad in artistic lighting, was introduced during the Christmas Holidays by the Doves Dancing Class Inc., through the personal direction and supervision of Mr. G. Sylvester Davis, president. The decorations and illuminations which were elaborate in detail seem to fill the guest with the spirit of the occasion from which much merrymaking resulted. The delightful strains of music rendered by the Doves Orchestra, Mr. Eugene E. Jackson, director, added a great deal to the enjoyment of the guest who expressed their approval by continually applauding throughout the entire evening. Aided by the beautiful electrical display the rendering of the musical program was a complete success. AMPHION'S NEW YEAR RECEIP TION. The extreme popularity of the famous Amphion Glee Club was never more pronouncedly shown than was manifested by the large concourse of people who crowded St. Luke's Hall New Year night from 8 until 10 o'clock. In fact the club was compelled to close the hall to prevent overcrowding. The occasion was the first New Year reception given by the Amphions 'in honor of their friends. It has been the custom of this body of young men to visit the homes of friends New Year day, but this year they decided to receive the public generally. The Amphions is one of the best known organizations of the kind in the United States and a great credit to the race. It is the only organization of the kind that has kept in continuous existence for so long a period, and music as interpreted by them is of a high order. The club was assisted by the following well-known ladies: Mrs. Chas. A. Champ, Mrs. Marle M. Jumper, Mrs. J. M. Johnson, Mrs. L. G. Reynolds, and Mrs. Mary E. Taylor; also Misses Vernie Bryant, Annie Green, Bettie Scott, Mamie Thomas, Gertrude Carter, Cornelia West, Mary E. Toppin, Lucinda Shaw, J. V. Shaw, Mary L. Green and others. These ladies were all handsomely gowned in evening attire, and made a beautiful background for members of the club, who wore full dress. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Rutherford, of the N. B. A.; Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, of the order of St. Luke; General Henry Forest, Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Harry A. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Thomas, Mrs. Mary E. Griffin, Dr. S. S. Thompson, Dr. E. G. Evans, Mrs. J. W. Chapman, of Jersey City, N. J.; Mrs. Harriet Navit, Mrs. J. V. Fleming, Miss Ella Bowman, Mr. Chas. H. Lassiter, Mr. Samuel Hines, Mr. N. W. Smith, Mr. R. K. Washington, Mr. R. M.inton, Mr. Clarence Allen, Mr. W. H. Fords, Mr. Linwood Turner, Mr. John C. Strong, Mr. Jas. B. Lomack, Mr. John W. Lee, Mr. Hiram Thompson, Mr. Jas. Allen, Mr. Geo. M. Johnson, Mr. Richard A. Small, Mr. L. E. Murray, Mr. E. S. Haywood, Mr. Wm. A. Henderson, Mr. Leo Davis, Mr. Thos. M. Ware, The Andiron Club; Mr. W. E. Hayes, Mr. H. E. Walker, Mr. A. T. Smith, The Tremont Pleasure Club, The Soap Box Pleasure Club, The Mercurian Club, and many others. It is unlikely that any other organization could have brought together a more cosmopolitan company, and the Amphilims are deserving of any tribute paid their worth. Prof. J. Henry Lewis, manager and conductor, was unceasing in his efforts to see that each person had a good time. His tact in entertaining is wonderful, and his ability to hold this club in public view for so long a time is indeed a wonderful accomplishment. ARMSTRONG MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL ALUMNI NOTES. A great deal of interest is being shown by the members and graduates of the Alumni Association of the Armstrong Manual Training School which if continued assures a strong organization in the near future. Letters are being received daily from graduates from all sections of the country and by keeping up this kind of correspondence the Association has gradually been able to get a line on the majority of its members showing occupation, what schools attended since graduation if any, whether married or single, and such other information as would be of interest. There are four general meetings held by the Association each year as follows: The winter reunion held during the winter months; the spring literary meeting; the summer outing; and the fall business meeting; all of which are well attended. At the recent business meeting the reports of the financial officers showed the Association to be in a healthy financial condition, despite the fact that many appropriations had been made to assist the pupils of the school and bring the work of "Old Armstrong" up to the highest possible standard. In his remarks on this occasion the Principal of the school, Mr. Wilkinson, congratulated the officers and members of the Association for the successful launching of the organization and assured them that he greatly appreciated the interest in their Alma Mata. Preparations are now being made for the winter reunion which is to be held at the school on January 14, 1915, at which time there will be informal reception including dancing and refreshments.

Christ's Sepulcher Is Closely Guarded by Turkish Soldiers. AGES IN MOSLEMS' HANDS. Famous Jerusalem Shrine, For Which the Crusades Were Undertaken In the Middle Ages, Will Leave Sultan's Possession if Allies Win—Contained Within Walls of a Church. London.—The holy sepulcher at Jerusalem, for the possession of which the crusades of the middle ages were undertaken, will at last become the property of the Christians of the world in case the allies win in the European war. Today the keys of this the most venerated sanctuary in Christendom are held by the Turks, and Moslem sentinels stand outside of its doors night and day, while the pavement in front of its main entrance is occupied at all hours by beggars and street peddlers, who assail visitors and passersby. The sepulcher is contained within the walls of a church, in which not only the Catholics, but also the Greeks, the Armenians and the Copts, have altars of worship. It is a grotto or cavern, consisting of two rooms hewn out of living rock. The outer chamber, which is sixteen feet long by ten feet wide, is called the Chapel of the Angels. The inner room is the sepulcher itself and contains the stone on which the body of Jesus reposed. It was in the outer chamber, the visitor is told, that the angels announced the resurrection to the holy women. In the middle of the floor, covered with white marble, richly carved, is a portion of the stone on which, as described in the Scriptures, the angel sat on Easter morning. Suspended from the roof are fifteen lamps, representing as many Christian nations, which are always kept burning. A door so low that the visitor can pass only by stooping gives entrance to the inner room, pointed out as the ```markdown ``` TURKISH SOLDIERS GUARDING GATEWAY TO HOLY SEPULCHER TURKISH SOLDIERS GUARDING GATEWAY TO HOLY SEPULCHER. actual burial place of Jesus, which is hardly more than six feet square. The stone on which the body of the Redeemer lay is raised three feet above the ground and, covered with a marble slab, is used as an altar. Inasmuch as only four persons at a time can find room in the small chamber, the Catholics, Greeks and Armenians are obliged to take turns in performing services. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is surmounted by a dome. Beneath the dome is a rotunda, off which is the Chapel of the Apparition, marking the place where the Saviour first showed himself to his mother after the resurrection. But this is only one of many sacred associations pertaining to the ancient basilica. Just inside the main door is the stone of unction on which the body of Jesus was laid while it was anointed by the holy women before burial. On entering the church the visitor ascends to the top of a stairway, where a tablet set in the wall states that this was the place where Christ was "stripped of his garments." For it should be understood that the sacred edifice here described actually covers the rock of Calvary, and a long strip of mosaic in the floor marks the spot where Jesus was nailed to the cross. Beneath a nearby altar is the hole or socket in which the cross was planted. It is lined with silver. The holes for the crosses of the two thieves are on either hand a little to the back. On one side of this altar, inclosed by a silver ralling, is the rift made in the rock at the moment of the death of Jesus. This cleft extends downward to a hollow beneath, known as the "grotto of Adam," because the skull of the first man is said to be buried there. Students of history recall the fact that the crusaders under Godfrey of Boullon captured the city of Jerusalem in the year 1090 and that it remained in Christian possession until 1178, when the Saracens drove out the invaders. Rich Rewards From American Woman. Paris.—An unnamed American woman has given to each soldier in a French regiment of Socialists $20 for saving her villa on the Oise from the Germans. Close Call Kaiser's Son Had With French Dragoons. Paris.-Details of the German crown prince's escape from French dragoons after the Marne defeat were given by a French civilian who, disregarding the probibitive placards, succeeded in making the trip on a bicycle to within four miles of the German trenches on the western fringe of the Argonne forest. Before the battle of the Marne the prince was at St. Menehould for about a week, with the princess. He occupied a chateau belonging to a rich drug manufacturer, M. Geraudel, who gained considerable notoriety here some years ago by trying to get a huge poster advertising a cough specific attached to the Eifel tower. When the Germans retreated the crown prince and princess retired to the small village of Montfaucon, in the Argonne, where they lived for some days in a large house which previously had been prepared for him. Learning of this, the French made a furious dash on Montfaucon, which they surrounded with a regiment of dragoons and captured several hundred Germans, but the royal party had flown. The raiders found a new subterranean passage 800 yards long connecting the house with a byroad at the farther side of a small wood. There, according to natives, a motor was always waiting during the prince's stay. It is further asserted even this would not have saved him from capture if the mayor of Montfaucon had not run to warn him when the French entered the village. For this treachery the mayor subsequently paid with his life. ODD NEEDS OF SENATORS. Pitchforks, Gargling Oil, Liniment, Headache Cure, on Expense List. Washington.—The annual report of the secretary of the senate carries some items of expenditures that seem odd for such an august body. On the list of disbursements are these items: Two pitchforks, one scoop shovel and forty-eight horseshoes. Under "medicines and lotions" are one bottle of gargling oil, one bottle of liniment, one bottle of balsam, one pound of powdered resin, five pounds of salts, five pounds of hoarhound drops, two bottles of headache cure, two dozen seidlitz powders; one pound soda mint tablets and nine packages of snuff. One exhaust header stuffing nut cost 70 cents. A local hardware concern was paid $7.65 for cleaning and adjusting revolvers. BRITISH, SEEK ARMS IN COTTON BY X RAY Bales From America to Germany First Photographed. New York.-The war in Europe has brought to light many innovations, but none more interesting than the taking of X ray photographs of bales of cotton to discover contraband of war possibly concealed therein. X ray experts with a big powerful machine are taking photograph after photograph of bales of cotton on pliers in this city. Cotton amounting to 10,000 bales was all photographed before being loaded into the hold of the steamer City of Macon of the Savannah line for Bremen, the first cargo for that port to leave New York since the war started. Cotton is not contraband of war, and the City of Macon, flying the American flag, will be allowed to proceed to Bremen without interference from the British. But the British, who have command of the sea, are extremely cautious these times. It occurred to the consul general in New York, Sir Courtenay W. Bennett, that cannons, guns or other contraband might be concealed in the cotton for delivery to the German army or navy. Obviously it would be impracticable to open any of the bales and go through the cotton for contraband. The idea of taking X ray photographs was suggested. Officials, of the British government, passing along the immense, piles of cotton bales on the plier, directed stevedores to drag out a bale here and there. Each bale so selected was photographed, with the idea that solid substances concealed in the cotton would show. The X ray did not detect any contraband in the first batch of bales examined. REUNITE MOTHER AND GIRL Adopted Parents Give Up Seventeen years old. Sought Fluen Years. year-old, Sought Eleven Years. Ashtabula, O.—To live with her mother, whom she has not seen in eleven years, Elizabeth Wallace, seventeen, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Wilder of Jefferson, left here in company with her stepfather, William H. Spelcher, for Stoyestown, Pa. When she was five years old Elizabeth's father died, and her mother, who was ill, had to put the child in a home in Alliance, O. When she regained her health the child had been adopted, but she was never able to learn by whom. When she became older the girl longed for her mother and wrote hundreds of letters to all parts of the state in search of her. Her mother finally located her in Jefferson high school, and Mr. Wilder, her second husband, came for her. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

The decla- ration is that Messlah shall reign until He shall have put down all insubordl- nation, and that the last enemy to be de- stroyed will be death.—1 Cor. 15:25, 26. This is the Kingdom for which the Master Himself taught Tls followers |to pray, Nothing slight or insignif- cant will be the outcome of that glori- ow Messianic Reign of a thousand years, At its very beginning Satan will be bound, with all that this sign!- fies—the repression of evil and dark- |ness. For a thousand years the Sun of Righteousness shall pour forth the light of truth andsgrace upon our poor, | fallen race until the knowledge of God's glory shal} fill the whole earth }as the waters cover the great deep.

Is this logical? I e,| this rational? Most assuredly not! We must go to the Bible for true i formation on this subject. It tells u } | that these kingdoms are not the king »-|doms of God, but “kingdoms of th! e} world.” It tells us that Satan Is th s. | Prince of this world John 14:30; Eph s | shins 2:2); that he ts “the god of thi ». | world,” “that now worketh In th s, | hearts of the children of disobedience 1 |—so much more mumerous than th 7a a ya a me plc lel OR REE a ge gag Mes of the earth be biessed.” , God's due time for bringing this bless- ing was still future; the blessing could not come until Messiah should come; but meantime God gave to tbe natural seed of Abraham, through Moses, the Law Covenant, which offered them eternal Ife and an {uberitance in the Kingdom if they could keep the Law. Cf course, they cotild not keep the Law; for It was the measure of a per- fect man's abilits, and alas! ike the remainder of the world the Israelites were imperfect—sinners, Nevertheless the offer and thefr attempt to keep the Law brought them great uplift of heart, so that when Jesus came to, them a considerable number were ready to recelve Ilim, did recelve Him; and He recelved them. They became sons of God, through the begetting of the Holy Spirit, at Pentecost and after- ward. These were the Spiritual Secd of Abraham, begotten of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Himself belng the Head. Israel had been hoplug for a sbare in Messiah's Kingdom; and St, Paul ex- plains, “Isract hath not obtained that which he seeketh for, but the Election hath obfained {t, and the rest were biinded.” The biInded Israelites are still cast aside, but not forever, The Divine blessing shall come to Natural Israel Just as soon as Splritual Is- Tael shall le completed.—Rom. 11:25-34. The Kingdom Suffereth Violence. What ald the Election obtain? Of | what did the falthful “Israelites in- deed” become heirs by accepting Jesus and by the Pentecostal blessing? We answer that they heeame identified with Messial’s Kingdom and heirs, or Inheritors, of the glorious Promise made to Abraham, that in this King- dom all the fainHies of the earth should be blessed. But now note that there were not a suflicient number of Jews found worthy to complete the Kingdom class. The Kingdom therefore could not be inaugurited then, God had forescen this and through the Prophet had promised that some wotthd be gath- ered from the? Gentiles to complete this Kingdom class. The entlre work of the Gospel Aze has been the calling of this “elect” class for the Kingdom. If we have rightly viewed the matter, the foreordained number will soon have been found, the election will be | at an end, the accepted will be glorified jas the Kingdom, and Messiah's Relgn uf Righteousness will bezin, But notice now the course of all be- jlonging to the Kingdom class, through jout this Age. They are not-relsning with Chrigt, but suffering with Christ. Jesus explalned this; they are Indeed of the Royal Family, because begot- jten of the Holy Spirit; they are In- deed the Kingdom class, because they Are affiliated with the great King; but they have aot yet entered into thelr glory. They will do so only by the | power of the Virst Resurreetion. ‘Thus Jit ds written,” “We anust all be ‘Tehanged,” because “f@sh and blood "| cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.” | Our Lord Ifintself was the Pattern, [the Forerunuer of all these.

Meantime, for elzhteen centuries, the Seriptures declare, “The world knoweth us not, even as ft knew Him not." Goi's saintly ones have not been gen- erally the great, the influential, either In chureh or state, just as Jesus and the Apostles were not In thelr day. Nevertheless, the Lord knoweth them that are His. Scattered here and there, during the past eighteen centuries, He has been dealing with them, preparing them, polishing them. fitting them as jewels. And Tie tells us that at our Lord's Second Coming He will make up Ilis Jowels- they will constitute the Kingdom class: for 4f we suffer with Him, we shall alo reign with Tim.” Tam sure you will agree with me that those whoa the Lord has been so zarefully selecting, instructing and pol- Ishing in the Sehool of Christ, who hare been so effectively polished with the trials and disciplines of evil, will be the very class above all others to whom the glorious. dominion of earth may well be entrusted without fear.

Dr. Lyman Abbott, successor of Henry Ward Beecher as the preacher of Plymouth Church, is writing for the Outlook Magazine, of which he is the editor in chief, a series of articles dealing with his reminiscences of the past fifty years. In chapter twelve, which appears in the issue of December 23, he discusses Reconstruction and the efforts made for the solution of the Negro problem in the South. He refers to Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, as among the men he has known best as working to bring about the solution of this vexed problem. He says: Booker T. Washington, who has done more to interpret the South to the North and the North to the South, the white man to the black man and the black man to the white man, than any other American, and whom the future will place as a leader of his race in the same rank with the other great racial leaders of human history."

Of the other seasonable goods mentioned above we carry large and attractive lines, giving you the opportunity to buy, on credit, at prices as low or lower than those of stores handling such goods exclusively.

W., It all depends on how it strikes the man of moderate means, to buy in a small store like this as to pick out a mercantile palace and pay more, and that's how it is when we can buy low and sell good new pants $1.50 to $3. We do it, save the customer 25 per cent, same way with slightly used overcoats $3 to $10. One price. Justh's Old stand, 619 D.
