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. 43 WASHINGTON: D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1915 THE HERO I NEVER STRUCK HIM WHY WAS HE BANQUETTED? THE ASSAULT. A. H. Glenn Denled It.—Swore That He Never Assaulted the Editor.—Prof. U. G. Craig's Positive Testimony.—Many School Witnesses.—Roscoe Bruce Trapped by the Prosecutor.—The Negro School System Exposed and Denounced by the Brilliant Prosecutor in a Great Speech.—The Colored Schools In this Trial Show a Deplorable Condition.—Go Back to Your High School and Wash Your Dirty Linen, Said the Prosecutor. One of the most sensational assault cases that has ever been tried in the police court was that of A. H. Glenn of the M Street High School Friday, March 12th. Glenn was charged by W. Calvin Chase with having assaulted him and enraged in disorderly conduct. Ralph Given, Esq., the prosecutor, outlined briefly what he would show and he was followed by Ex-United States Attorney D. W. Baker outlining his defense. Mr. Chase was the first witness, who said in part that he went to the M Street High School after having been requested by Mr. Glenn. On arriving there he cordially greeted Glenn, who remarked that he had been insulted. He never stated in what manner he was insulted, thereupon the complainant Chase, then told why he went to the high school and made several other statements to the defendant which he, Glenn, admitted angered him. Glenn went to three different parts of the school building before he finally secured a chair and assaulted defendant. Mr. Chase said he and Mr. Taylor seized Glenn and pushed him back into his room, but he broke loose and attempted to come to him again, using Mr. Chase said, language hars. Mr. Chase said that he wanted two hundred and fifty dollars because he had a mortgage for that amount on his piano, which I will show, hence it was not necessary to offer a bribe. A deal for the librarianship had been made between Roscoe Bruce. Mr. Cobb and myself; the place had been promised me by Bruce and he knows it. Question by Mr. Baker. When was the examination? Mr. Chase, reaching for his bundle of papers, he pulled out a circular letter which Prof. Glenn had sent to the candidate and said October 30 and 31. At the conclusion of Mr. Chase's testimony, he was followed by Prof. U. G. Craig, who sail that he was present on the forenoon of February 1, 1915, in the M Sstreet High School. He saw the defendant Glenn strike Chase with a chair. That he and Taylor caught Glenn and pushed him into his room and made an effort to disarm Glenn; that he, Glenn, pulled away from them and attempted to get to Chase again; it was while we were holding Glenn that he broke loose to get to Chase and he, Craig, asked Mr. Chase to leave, which he did. John Taylor, a teacher, in the M Street High School, said that he was present and saw Glenn raise a chair as if to strike Chase, but he would, neither affirm nor deny that Glenn strack him. At this juncture a recess was taken. After Recess. When court convened counsel for the defense stated that several character witnesses who had been summoned by the defense had to leave and he asked permission to call them. They were Assistant Superintendent Stewart, Kramer, Mrs. Cook, Supervisor J. C. Nalle, all of whom testified that Glenn's reputation for peace and good order was excellent. Prof. Nalle was asked what Mr. Chase's reputation was. He said that he was combatative. Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, supervisor of the primary grades, was asked what Glenn's reputation for peace and good order, truth and veracity, she said that it was excellent. Mr. Baker, counsel for defense, was asked what Mr. Chase's reputation was. I hope that you wont press that question. Prosecutor Given. If you don't answer the question, I shall tell it all. Mr. Baker. I withdraw the question. Prosecutor. You had better withdraw it. Dr. C. H. Marshall testified that he was present in October in Bruce's office. Mr. Chase made some remark about digging somebody's grave if he didn't get the librarianship. Mr Given. He and Bruce made up did they not? O! yes, said Marshall. Dr C. W. Childs was asked about a conversation he heard about the librarianship. "I don't remember any such a conversation," said Dr. Childs. Mr. Baker. You are excused. Roscor Bruce. Roscoe C. Bruce, the assistant superintendent, testified that he was afraid of Chase; that he, Chase, was a dangerous man; that his paper had a large circulation and he attacked everybody. At the conclusion of Mr. Bruce's testimony Prosecutor Given walked quietly up to Mr. Bruce and planted those eagle eyes of his directly in Bruce's eyes and presented this picture to him.

His eyes stretched and theutor read the following inscription from Bruce's picture:Insert inscriptionThe packed court room roared with laughter and derision and for several seconds Marshal Johnson rapped for order and His-Honor, Judge Mullowney, said, if there was any more demonstration he would order the court to be cleared. Prosecutor Given left Bruce in disgust, but before doing so, he said to Bruce, this is the man man you claim to be afraid of; this is the man to whom you gave your picture. You then had one meaning for him from the sentiment on your picture and another for the people? David L. Houston, who testified that he didn't know Mr. Chase, had never talked with him, but he heard that he was a dangerous man. Mr. Given. You belong to the Mu-So-Lit Club; well it is it because Mr. Chase has criticised the club through his newspaper and for that reason you don't like him? Whitefield McKinley was the next character witness. He was formerly a director of the late Capitol Savings Bank and collector of the port at Georgetown. He said he stated to Attorney Cobb that he never wanted Mr. Chase's support. Attorney Cobb leaned forward to the prosecutor and said that McKinley stated a falshood. Several others who had been criticised in The Bee testified to the great reputation of the defendant and their objections to Mr. Chase. Ocesa Taylor, formerly an assistant editor of the defunct Washington American, against whom Mr. Chase had filed charges with the Civil Service Commission, Jennifer of the Normal School who called to assault Mr. Mr. Chase concerning the Sage of the Potomac, testified to Glenn's good character. A. H. Glenn took the stand and denied that he struck Mr. Chase. He related his version and contradicted the testimony of Prof. Craig and Taylor. Both sides having closed Prosecutor Given made the opening address, followed by Mr. Baker, and closed by the prosecutor who made one of the most cutting speeches that has ever been delivered by him. He paid his respects to Roscoe Brute, who had summoned with him teachers in the public schools who are under his influence, that Glenn who pretended that he was afraid of Mr. Chase contradicts himself when he swore that after he had been pushed back into his room, he made an effort and did brake loose from his captors to get to Chase. That Bruce, who had given him his photo with a complimentary description, would have you gentlemen of the jury believe that he was afraid of Chase when he wrote those complimentary sentiments at the bottom of his photo, he admitted that he had one meaning for Chase and one meaning for the great host of teachers under him, who have WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1915 M. H. CHAPIN BROWN, Esq National Committeeman for the District of Columbia. THE NEW YORK TIMES M. FONTAIN EPYTOI One of the most conservative members closed their schools to be at this trial. This is nothing more than an ordinary assault case, such cases that we try daily. Eliminate all of the school teachers under Bruce and you have nothing more than an ordinary assault of which the defendant is guilty. This trial shows the deplorable condition of the Colored schools. Will it end here? No. It cannot. That if the witnesses brought here have all been criticised by The Bee, Mr. Chase's paper and he had the termerity to do so, and from their testimony, gentlemen of the jury, they are all bias. Go back to your M Street High School, in eloquent terms said the prosecutor, and wash your dirty linen. Judge Mullowny charged the jury in an impartial and legal manner and after a deliberation a verdict of not guilty was returned. Prosecutor Glens, although a verdict of not guilty was rendered, received many congratulations for the fight he made for conviction and the manner in which he conducted the prosecutions. SUMMON. Dr. C. W. Childs came to The Bee office and endorsed The Bee's candidate. Dr. C. H. Marshall wrote a letter of endorsement and stated to Bruce that The Bee's candidate should be appointed. There was a deal made between Bruce, Cobb and Chase that The Bee candidate should be appointed. Dr. Thurston was informed that the library examination was a frame up. library examination was a frame up. Dr. Thurston sent for the editor, called and stated if the editor had any information to furnish him concerning the school. Dr. Thurston was informed and was told of the frame up. Several conferences were held between Bruce and the editor of The Bee. Houston and Dumas were wanted on the board of education as the candidates of Bruce. Bruce and Childs were at The Bee office. Let them state what they called for. They remained some time. Will they explain? Will they state subsequent developments? Half hasn't been told. DR. MARS Oct. 16, 1915. To whom it may concern: This is to certify that I have known Miss Genevia B. Maxfield for several years, being a member of the same church. She is of pleasing disposition, courteous, neat and painstaking with whatever she has to do. I believe her to be worthy and competent and do with credit the duties of the position she seeks. Very respectfully, (Signed) CHAS. H. MARSHALL. The foregoing is a copy of the letter that the assistant superintendent, Mr. Bruce, requested Mr. Chase to secure from Dr. C. H. Marshall and which letter he informed Mr. Chase he wanted for Dr. Thurston. The letter was handed to Mr. Bruce the same day Mr. Chase received it. Was Mr. Bruce afraid of Mr. Chase then, was he the man Mr. Bruce characterized him to be in his testimony Friday, March 12. SOCIAL SETTLEMENT. Mr. Bruce's letters to Mr. Chase October 21, 1914. October 21, 1914. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, 1109 I street, Whsaanigton, D. C. My Dear Mr. Chaso* The annual meeting of the Colored Social Settlement and friends of the Settlement will be held at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Friday evening, November 20th, at eight o'clock. Honorable Frederick L. Siddons will be the chief speaker of the evening. Commissioner Newman, Doctor William L. Woodward and Dr. Charles F. Nesbit are also expected to make brief addresses. The Settlement is so embarrassed for resources that I am asking you to favor us by making an announcement of the meeting in each edition of your paper. We know that we can always count upon you for encouragement and support. Very sincerely, ROSCOE C. BRUCE. P. S. The above is only one of the many Mr. Chase has. SCHOOL CHIT CHAT Wednesday Night, March. Give me Main 4078. Mr. Chase answered. Dr. Marshall: Do you know who this is? Don't call my name. Mr. Chase: Hello, doctor. Dr. Marshall: Glenn has summoned me. He wants me to find out how Craig is going to testify. I don't know why he summoned me. Mr. Chase: You know what you told me about Glenn. You know what to say, don't you? Dr. Marshall: You bet I do. I told Dr. Thurston to keep his ears to the wall. This will be the beginning and ending of the Bruce administration. Another Night on the Street Car. Dr. Marshall: Had a committee meeting today on the Moten and Hunter case. Don't you know that the committee stood two to two to sustain Miss Hunter. But Dr. Thurston stood pat for Miss Moten. Mrs. Cook voted with the other members to sustain Miss Hunter. Don't quote me. I shall keep you posted. Dr. Marshall at Bee Office. Dr. Marshall: Yes, I am for your candidate, Mr. Chase. Here is a letter of endorsement. Dr. Childs and Mr. Bruce at The Bee office together. Mr. Bruce was brarlan. At Bee Office. Miss Merritt: How much will you charge for publishing this article? Mr. Chase: Three dollars. Miss Merritt: Alright. It was a defense of Miss Merritt after she was victorious in her fight for retention in her present position. BETHEL LITERARY Dr. M. F. Sydes, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E: Church, addressed the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, Tuesday night last, subject, "The New Americanism." Dr. Sydes is an able, well-prepared man with a vision and convictions. It was one of the best addresses ever delivered before the society. It is one every Negro American should hear. It was a master piece. The audience was most appreciative and gave signs of it by its frequent outbursts of applause. The address was discussed by Mr. Frank Williams, author of "50 Years of Freedom;" Mr. John Wesley Cromwell, Cromwell School, D. C.; Prof John F. Layton. Others who took part were Mrs. Fanni Simms, Mrs Maria Ricks. Music: Rev. Dr. L. M Beckett, of Havre De Grace, Md., sang one of Billy Sunday's songs, "Sall On." He was compelled by he long and loud applause to give a second number Chorus, My Country, Tis of Thee," was sung with great feeling. Directed by Dr. J. T. Layton, assistant director of music in the public schools. The most faithful secretary in Washington, Mr. James F. Alston was at his post as usual. We were glad to note that he has recovered from his cold, though he has not missed a meeting this year. To the surprise of many Dr. Layton beautifully accompanied Dr. Beckett. Miss M. A. Madre presided. THE HERO RETREATS. The Hero retreats and swears that he never struck the "unique, fearless and relentless W. Calvin Chase." WILSON A CANDIDATE.

CARMOUCHE 341 Erskine, Detroit, Michigan. February 8th, 1915. Editor The Bee: The enclosed I specially arranged for the consideration of the readers of "The Old Bee." I do not doubt that its publication will make interesting reading for those interested in such matters. Thus I'll be pleased to have you give it publication in your most valuable paper. Yours respectfully, P. L. CARMOUCHE. Editor The Bee: I do not know as to how much bravery it requires for a man to tell to the Great Catholic Church or any other big and great institution the truth, but I do know it is of the greatest necessity to the race for the truth to be told. I am fearless and non-compromising on all questions pertaining to my race, whether of the church or state. The following letters concerning the St. Mary's Mission, now the St. Peter Claver's Catholic Church of Detroit, are explicit enough to show how we stand on the serious things of life. Life for the persons of color in the United States, regardless of its beauties, has been made a serious affair, therefore let him be serious. Detoit, Michigan, 341 Erskine St. February 23th. 1912. Rev. Father Joseph Weust, St. Mary's Mission, Detroit, Michigan. Father Weust: Father Weust: I cannot sin in silence, therefore, in all due respect to you and the faith —Catholic faith—which my ancestors in America worshipped for over two hundred years ago. I must, for the sake of my four girls and the other Colored persons I well know as Catholics, and for the sake of my race in general, give vent to my feelings. I cannot refrain from taking exception to my children being to my children being Catholics." My for "Negro Catholics, and Christianly Caucasian citizens." They are citizen citizens. There is as a "Negro" Catholic Should it become necessary, absolute necessity, we might, in our religious affairs, define such persons as persons of color, or colored persons, Colored Americans or Afro-Americans. In that way it would not look so bad in print, nor sound so harsh in words. In relation to our faith, I consider ourselves Catholics and not Negroes." Since when? I never knew that the Great Catholic Church had such a thing in it as "Negro Catholicism." If so, I never realized its existence until recently in connection with the Saint Mary's Mission in Detroit. Prejudice, garbed in the form of Christian charity so manifest since the organization of Saint Mary's Mission has caused my opinions to differ, if such a standard is to be maintained as to the advisability of a Colored mission in this or any other community of this country where there is a Catholic Church or churches established. Not only that they are not in keeping with the fundamental principles of our Great Church, but as I can now see, they tend to create, instead of eradicating, vile prejudices so intense today in this country against the Christians of color. Why should you, Father Weust, or any other of our Catholic Priests tolerate this, one of the greatest evils, prejudice, to in any way show itself in the midst of such great works? The Detroit Journal of February 22d, 1913, relative to our Mission and Rev. Father Thomas and the mass of Sunday, February 22d, proves my contention, i.e., they tend to create instead of obliterating race prejudice. In broad headlines, Detroit Journal, "Mass for Negroes," then follows, "Negro Catholics" and "Catholic Negroes." To me and others I well know such things are intolerable; they are horrible, in fact, the intelligent and thoughtful of our race seriously considers such things as a race insult, propagated by that most vilest of sins—race prejudice. Now then, not unless it is possible, to show the same courtesies, to treat our race with that same Christian respect accorded the Polish American Catholics, the Italian American Catholics, the German American Catholics or any other "white" Catholics in this country or this community. We conclude that the Saint Mary's Mission in Detroit is a dangerous undertaking from a race standpoint. God knows, there is enough race discrimination now against the Colored citizens of this country. Beyond the question of any doubts as humans; there is no necessity, religious necessity, for a separate house of worship, such as we all know is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church. As a race, we sometimes feel the necessity of a separate organization and place of worship for the Colored Catholics in order to demonstrate in time, our capabilities to do as others, but such things cannot be accomplished when the best men PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Now that the school stunt has been pulled off at last and who's move next? They tell me that the whole high-fer-luting set came down to see what Chase intended to do to their little hero. I heard Chase kinder whispering to some white friends, saying, "I told you my race was a beautiful bunch of flowers, but of course these all are the white lillies." They tell me that was some trial, and its too bad it is all over, for the Nichels, Drs. Board, Howley, Gray, McGuire and Napper will miss, is some, waiting on beautiful damsels and old maids with ice cream, soda or hot cocoa while they were discussing schools, yet they are going to keep going for a while so as to find out what Chase is up to next. I remember a very sweet little dam- sel who seemed to be well up on snake-ology, remarked. Say listen, girls, did you all ever hear when you attempt to kill a snake never strike him in the piled, "No." "Well, that's what they tell me, and that is why I subscribed for The Bee, because believe me, I bet Chase is like that snake and I bet he has something up his sleeve. I tried to get a Bee everywhere last week and everywhere I went they had just sold out." Now seriously speaking, when it comes to talking about Chase; he is one man that can surely "gift his," take it from me. Why little secretary non-alcoholic Cook even told Judge Mullowney that Chase had just asked him for his check, cause his face appeared in The Bee. I kinder heard when Race Adjustment Miller took the stand, Chase said ah I forgot to see Professor about something. Now I don't know what 'twas about, but I got my 'magination. Take it from me, these schools and Chase will certainly make people spend their money if not for lawyers, for negro papers. Kinder heard at the barber shop, where everybody knows everything and everything is nothing, that they were Dying to begin lining up in politics. Speaking about politics, you will have some sweet music soon, and take it from me that there will be some politics when the school campaign opens. Speaking about the Glenn trial, the Near Society gave him another banquet. All the high Yellows attended, but variegated Complexions did not have a peep in. O. no; my boy, keep your eyes upon the clock, and let me know when the clock strikes 4. Do you understand? Solve this riddle and communicate to me. Drs. Cabbiness and Curtis didn't get a chance to testify. I was solloquizing to myself what the Knife Experts intended to say. I like Cabbiness and Curtis, and I am so glad that time was called, which made their entrance belated. Don't tell me, Calvin had some dope, which would have caused conformation among the Near Society. I knew that. I was told that he was nowhere near finished, but our near him tellmaker something? I was waiting to hear him to ask Calvin to explain. He was dropped like a hot cake. Amphis swore that he never touched him. I had to smile, and so did Lord Fauntroy who was struck by a cyclone. That was some stunts the United States attorney pulled of on little Lord Faun roy. He didn't know in which direct, on he was going. Calvin informed me that I misrepresented my old friend Harlan last week. I meant no personal reflection and I want him to know it. He is one of Chestfieldians, high walkers who attends to his business and knows how to win a charm when he sees it. Here is my hand, Bob. Judge Mullowney is some judge. Looks make no impression on him. He cares no more for near society than he does for a water illy when it decays in water. All offenders of the law look alike to him. Now don't you know that that wikey prosecutor strained every effort to convict. He did his duty and I was one among the many to congratulate him on the conduct of that prosecution. I did have some tender feelings for little Lord Fauntroy when he gave that explanation on his photo, and the whole court roared. He made W. Calvin some hero but he said he didn't mean it. Childs squirmed and said, "O, that is awful." PARAGRAPHIC. The subject was physiology. The nature of the spinal column was being explained. After the discussion, little Michael was asked to explain the spinal column. Thinking awhile, he said, "Tis the thing that runs up and down your back. Yer head sits off one end, and you sit on the other." A. J. Martin, a Colored vegetable peddler, of Redding. Cal., has invented a device for handling smelter fumes so that they will do no damage to vegetation. He has been in this city and presented his drawings to the Commissioner of Patents. Mr. Martin is confident his patent will be only a week or so in materializing. Corks steeped in vaseline make excellent substitutes for glass stoppers. A little colored girl, who had been admonished several times for tardiness, came rushing into the school room one morning, late as usual, with a note which read: "deer teacher: excuse my girl and dont you scold her. You think your smart dont you but I jest bet you couldn't tell the time neither if both the hands was off your clock.

The elephant, turtle, parrot, pike and carp one hundred years each. We haven't heard much about the Paris Spring dresses. Hurry up and eat all the oysters you can. The natives of Slam have a horror of odd numbers. They have never been known to build a house of a temple with five, seven, nine of eleven windows. No carnivorous bird or quadruped in England will eat the flesh of a cat. The rule applies even to the carrion crow, which will devour dead dogs greedily.

The erection of a monument to the memory of Luclus Harkum, Colored, who was nurse at Freedmen's Hospital for 52 years, was proposed by the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew. This is a worthy cause and should be heartily supported. A monument on the grounds of the hospital will be a land mark. Help this campaign. COMBAT THE MONSTER, CONSUMPTION. One of the things that the National Negro Health Week, March 21st to 27th, is intended to do is to spread information concerning how it is possible to keep from having consumption, also what to do to cure consumption. For a long time it was supposed that consumption was inherited and incurable. It is now found that this is not true. Consumption is a disease that is acquired and with proper care can be cured. It is hoped, therefore, that in connection with Health Week, special meetings will be held in every locality at which physicians and other competent persons will instruct the people how to combat this scourge of the race. 600,000 Negroes of Present Population WILL Die from Concentration It will Die from Consumption. It is estimated that of the ten million Negroes now living in the United States, six hundred thousand, or sixteen out of every one hundred, will die of consumption. On the other hand, it is estimated that one-fourth of these six hundred thousand persons, or one hundred and fifty thousand, can by means of preventive methods be saved. Help Us Save This 150,000. Many things are necessary to overcome this monster, for consumption is a disease of poverty and is spread by bad houses, insanitary methods of life, carelessness and excesses. But of all things that help to overcome consumption, nothing is so important as abundant fresh air. Do you sleep in a room where you keep the windows tightly closed in cold weather? Do you keep out fresh air because it may "chill" you? Do you work in a room or a shop where the air cannot enter? If so, you are hazarding your life and inviting death. Open your windows and keep them open at all times, especially during the hours of sleep. If you have not cover enough to keep you warm in cold weather, save money and buy it, for ample cover, permitting you to sleep with your windows open will do more for your good health than all the medicine you buy. If you want to live, and keep from having consumption, live with your windows open. (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President National Negro Business League.

Many pioneer residents of the state can remember when' Wisconsin was spelled that way, but W. F. Sealey, county clerk, has discovered a document which provides better evidence than memory. It is a certificate of election issued to Paul D. Hayward as justice of the peace in the township of Stockbridge, dated June 2, 1844, and signed by Duane Doty, then territorial governor. Each of the three peoples who have successively occupied the state, Indians, French and Anglo Saxons, have left us in their names a record of their first impressions and sometimes even a trace of legendary history. The name of the state and of its greatest river. Wisconsin, is a corrupted form of an Indian term whose exact meaning is now unknown, though it has usually been translated "gathering of waters." Ouisconsin, Wisconsin, Ouisconching, Ouiskensing, Wiskensan are a few of the spellings which appear in old documents and on time stained maps before the present form was evolved. The name of the largest lake within the state, Winnebago, suggests an interesting history of the Indian tribes whence it came. The original Alconquin form was "oumpegou," meaning "men of the ill smelling water," a name which the tribe gained from having originally dwell on the shores of Lake Winnebago, well known for its odorous sulphur springs. JAPAN ALSO HAS MONROE DOCTRINE DOESN'T WANT PHILIPPINES Bays Views Are Identical With Those Expressed by President Monroe. They Have Become Crystallized In Past Few Years and Began Immediately Following War With Russia. Washington.—In testifying before the senate Phillippines committee on the Jones bill providing for the ultimate independence of the Phillippine Islands, W. Morgan Shuster remarked that the attitude of Japan toward far eastern questions was consistent with a well defined Monroe doctrine of its own. The phrase has attracted considerable attention. For that reason Mr. Shuster PETER H. W. MORGAN SHUSTER. who occupied for nearly nine years important government, posts in the Philippines and later served as treasurer general of Persia, was asked to explain the phrase. "In many respects Japan's attitude toward her sphere of influence in the far east and our policy as expressed by President Monroe are biographical," said Mr. Shuster. "Both countries are very much in earnest in enforcing these policies. "Japan's Monroe doctrine, as it may be called, has taken form within the past few years. It dates, I should say, from the close of the war with Russia, scarcely earlier. As a result of this conflict Japan greatly widened her political horizon. Her victory over Russia made her more assertive and confident of her power to exercise a decisive influence over the general region within which lie the Philippines. "Japan is today without question the first power in the orient. She dominates the far east much as the United States because of its wealth, size and power occupies the first place on the American continents. And, like the Americans, the Japanese are a very high spirited people. They have a pride of their own. "Any encroachment upon this sphere by foreign powers would arouse much the same spirit of distrust or resentment as we should feel at a similar encroachment in the western hemisphere. I have no doubt that Japan would back up her Monroe doctrine should affairs reach an issue exactly as we should back up our own policy. "Public opinion in Japan, as in the United States, is opposed to any plan for Japan's colonizing the Phillippines. The Japanese have no more idea of raising their flag in the Phillippines, for instance, than have we of colonizing the Central or South American republics. The Japanese have experimented with colonial empires in Formosa and Korea, and they do not care to extend the experiment. "The Japanese employ scientific methods in their political plans, and they have carefully investigated the question of colonizing in the tropics and have decided against it. At the time when it seemed possible that the United States would part with the Philippines the Japanese sent their scientists to these islands to determine if they were suited for settlement and development by Japanese. The world recognizes that the Japanese do excellent research work. The Japanese scientists decided that the Philippine islands did not offer the proper climatic conditions for colonizing, and the Japanese government and the people trust their scientists. "Still another point common both to our own Monroe doctrine and the attitude of Japan may be found in the attitude toward the governments within the spheres of influence. We Americans are friendly to the small republics to the southward and so is Japan to the existing states in the far east. She would welcome a republic in the Philippines, for instance, because it would be neutral. It would not serve as an entering wedge for some aggressive world power. She would encourage such a government exactly as we encourage the continuance and independence of the republics of Central and South America." LEGAL NOTICES CHARLES S. HILL, ATTORNEY.

London.-Considerable comment has been caused here because the bishop of Calcutta, Dr. Lefroy, has aligned himself with the archbishop of York in advocating recognition among the English people of the qualities of bravery displayed by the sailors and soldiers of Germany, who, for a time at least, were belittled in the public prints and by public men generally. Dr. Lefroy in a sermon preached recently made some warm comments on the British press, especially on the comic papers, which, he said, "indulge continually in taunt, ridicule and sneer." He stated that in his opinion the "terrible spirit of Prussian militarism, which has involved us in this conflict, must be utterly broken," but he added that to secure eventually a firm and lasting peace the bitterness engendered by abuse of the enemy must be replaced by a broad and Christian appreciation of German and Austrian virtues. "We deeply need, if we are in any sense to be true to him," he concluded, "to be more earnest in cultivating the temper, spirit and habit of mind of the Prince of Peace." CHILD A MUSICAL PRODIGY. Plays Classical and Popular Pieces, but Never Had a Lesson. Marquette. Mich.-Marquette is believed to have a musical proclivity in the person of Theresa Mahoney, four-year-old daughter of John L. Mahoney and a pupil in the kindergarten of the Olcott school. The other day before her school teacher, a Marquette music teacher and a small assemblage she performed the remarkable feat of playing with ease and expression the airs of several classical and popular selections. As she has never had a day's instruction her performance on the piano was the cause of much astonishment. The child's playing is not that of the usual child with musical instinct who pleks out the air with but one finger. She uses all five fingers of the right hand, and when playing rarely glances at the keyboard. One person present merely hummed an air and the youngster played it without glancing at the keyboard of the plano. BERLIN VACANT LOTS ARE POTATO PATCHES Women of Nobility Aid In Raising All Kinds of Vegetables. Berlin.-Governor Pingree's potato patch plan, tried by the Michigan governor many years ago, is being copied in Berlin, where a movement, supported by many women of high position, to utilize all available garden plots and vacant land in greater Berlin as truck farms for the immediate raising of vegetables has been set on foot. It is the consensus of opinion that the present war requires some such step. To accomplish this purpose it is proposed to enlist the aid of all available truck farmers and agricultural experts and to get them to give instruction in vegetable raising and as far as possible assist in the actual work. It is expected that it will not be difficult to interest women in large numbers to carry on the work of feeding the people Women willing to assist, it is proposed, will first take a short free course at the Royal Gardening Institute. The installation and preparation of courses are in the hands of the war committee on vegetable raising. Interested in the movement are such women as the wife of the minister of war, Frau Wild von Hohenborn; Countess von Brockdorf, the empress' chief lady in waiting; Fraulein von Gersdorf and Frau von Boetticher, the widow of the late minister of state. Berlin is the scene at this time of numerous meetings, largely attended by women of every class, at which ways and means of more economical living are discussed in prominent physicists. The women are being urged to cut down the consumption of meat by at least 15 per cent and to resort more to the use of milk. The women are asked to think of the men in the field and the hardships they have to endure, if economy in eating seems to be too difficult. TO OBSERVE RIPE OLIVE DAY Food Qualities of Luscious California 'Fruit Will Be Told to the World. San Francisco. In order to call attention to the scope of the olive industry California ripe olive day will be observed on Wednesday, March 31, according to an announcement just made by the Panama Pacific International exposition officials. This action was taken at the request of the olive interests. On that day attention of all the nation will be called to the food qualities of the ripe olive of this state. From now on the gospel of the California ripe olive will be carried to all parts of the earth. General headquarters for a great national campaign have been established in Oroville. Girl Who Sat Still Gets $25,000 GIRL WHO SAT STILL GES $2,500. New York.—In memory of the little girl who went fishing with him fifteen years ago, and who always sat very still in the boat while he drew his binny catch, Jacob Hyman, a retired jewelry dealer, who died recently, by half of his estate to Miss Berth Gretsch of Brooklyn. The girl's share is estimated at more than $25,000. Wisconsin Investigation Shows What It Costs Girls to Live. Madison. WI.—The industrial commission as a result of an investigation under the women's minimum wage act, has collected figures which show that the lowest wage on which a woman worker can properly maintain herself in Milwaukee and other places in Wisconsin is $9.50 per week. Its conclusion on this point says: Taking $6.50 as the lowest market price at which a proper standard of room and board can be secured in Milwaukee and adding the estimated amount for other basic necessities, $3, the total allowance for a week would be $9.50, distributed as follows: Board and room ..... $3.50 Clothing ..... 1.90 Laundry ..... .40 Dentist ..... .20 Car fare ..... .50 Total ..... $3.50 "The above estimate does not include anything for sickness, or emergencies, insurance premiums or savings, recreation or vacation expenses. It allows only for bare necessaries," says the report. It was the standard of living described above that the minimum wage law was aimed to put within reach of women workers. To ascertain the wage necessary to maintain it the commission, with a staff of investigators, covered forty cities and 448 establishments employing 23,137 women, or about half the total number employed in the state. There was also an investigation of the cost of standard articles of food and clothing, such as are most frequently used. SERVIANS MAKE HERO OF DR. E. F. RYAN Visitor Tells of Fine Work He Has Done In That Country. Philadelphia.—Mme. Slavko Groultech, wife of the undersecretary of foreign affairs in Servia and special pleader for that country's relief in this city, told the story of what a hero Dr. Edward F. Ryan of Scrunton, Pa., has become in her adopted country. "He is quite one of the biggest men in Belgrade now." said Mme. Groultech. PETER H. Photo by American Press Association. DR. EDWARD F. BYAN. "We all call Lim Teddy over there—Teddy Ryan. He has made friends so quickly with every one, and people just look to him as a natural leader. "When the Austrians first came into the city in the late autumn they were bent on violating all decent rules of war. Dr. Ryan stopped that. They had been hanging men quite indiscriminately without even pretending to give them a trial. The doctor said a stop had to be put to that kind of practice, and he sought out the commander of the invaders and just told him what was what. After that there was no further action of that kind. "Our people in Servia like to take him as a pattern for all Americans, and he is responsible for a great deal of the popularity America has won in our country since the war began." Dr. Ryan is following only his natural bent in being in the thick of the Servian fight. He will be remembered as being the center of a number of diplomatic representations when the trouble with Mexico was, at its worst last spring. The Huerta followers had him thrown into jail, accusing him of being a Villa agent. President Wilson instructed Consul Silliman to obtain his release, and this was done after a considerable amount of negotiation and not a few threats. He was released only on his promise of absolutely refraining from any after discussion and when he got back home he bad a long conference with the president, no part of which ever was made public. Private Wedding in Bank Vault. Houston. Tex.-In haste to be wedded in order to catch a train, the Rev. J. E. Jones of Spur. Tex., located his friend, the Rev. Mr. Williams of the Star of Hope mission of this city, at a local bank and was married by him to Miss Edna Carraway. The ceremony was performed in the safety deposit vault of the bank to insure privacy. VICTOR MURDOCK AGAIN AN EDITOR Sane and Adjectivaless Society Page One Feature. NOTHING FLUFFY FOR HIM. After Retirement From Congress Bull Moose Leader Returns to Home In Wichita, Kan.—Makes Known Views on How to Run a Paper—Will Publish Names of Passengers on Train. Washington Victor Murlock of Kansas, who has just retired from congress, has begin the job of editing his Wichita newspaper. Mr. Murlock, after twelve years in congress, is bulging with ideas how to run a newspaper. He intends to introduce what he describes as a "sane and adjectiveless society page." He is going to be a bear on Washington news and will print one page in big type, the "easy to read" kind, pleasing alike to the old, the near-sighted and the tired business man who wants to skim over his paper in a burry. A page that a man can read at arm's length is his big idea. He will also run a Saturday review of the stories and articles in the weekly and monthly periodical press. Editor Murdock will insist on brevity in editorial expression. He may have trouble in fastening some of his ideas on those who have been running his Wichita newspaper, but whatever else happens he will fight to the end for his "safe and adjectiveless" society page. If ex-Representative Murdock has his way about it there will be, he says, no more items in the Wichita Eagle reading like this. "The beautiful and charming Mrs. Wilberforce Dustin Rocks gave a de- J. Photo by American Press Association. VICTOR MURDOCK. Eightful dinner party last evening to a select party of friends. The hostess was becoming attired in a Paris gown of exquisite satin trimmed in gold lace. The house was profusely decorated with beautiful cut flowers and trailing evergreens." This item appearing as Mr. Murdock will have it written will run this way: "Mrs. Wilberforce Dustin-Rocks entertained a party of friends at dinner last evening. Only a few guests were invited." Editor Murdock would leave something to the imagination of the reader. According to the Hon. Vic. any fool reader would assume that Mrs. Dustin-Rocks was dressed "to kill," that flowers were on the premises of the Dustin-Rocks and that the affair was entirely pleasant all around. "I don't know whether I'll be able to get by with that same society column stunt," said Mr. Murdock, "but it ought to be done. I get tired of reading those fluffy society notes in the newspapers." Mr. Murdock has another idea. A transcontinental train passes through Wichita once a day. "My idea," said he with enthusiasm, "is to print the names of the Pullman passengers on said train. How many times has the average fellow looked through a Pullman window and wondered if he knew anybody inside. I believe I could make a distinctive feature of this with a heading something like this: "They passed through Wichita today for the west coast." GOATS AS FIRE FIGHTERS. Herd of 4,000 to Help Uncle, Sam Keep Fire Breaks Open. San Francisco.-Give a goat a chance and he makes a first class fire fighter. In recognition of his efficiency the United States forest service announced that the secretary of agriculture has just authorized the free grazing of 4,000 goats in the national reserves of California, together with a bonus to their owners for handling them. Cutting wide trails known as fire breaks, across which brush fires cannot jump, is a standard method of fire prevention. The trouble is that each year there recurs at heavy cost the problem of cleaning out the trails. Turn loose a herd of hungry goats—and a goat is always hungry—and they soon will crop the undergrowth short and clean. ADVERTISED; NO DEPRESSION. Instead $200,000 Newspaper Campaign Swelled Roofing Orders. St. Louis.-The results of a $200,000 campaign of newspaper advertising that brought in the midst of the business paralysis following the outbreak of the European war a maximum gain in business of 70 per cent over the flourishing trade of the same period a year before were announced by George M. Brown, president of a roofing company. While other manufacturers were be moaning the depression. Mr. Brown's concern broadened its scope until, completely outstripping even the record of its most prosperous era, it is exhibiting for January and February a series of colossal gains. For these two months, Mr. Brown says, the maximum gain in business was 70 per cent in some departments and the minimum gain in any department was 19 per cent over the corresponding period in 1914, when conditions generally were at or above normal. Not one of the concern's 1,600 employees has been laid off a minute since the newspaper advertising campaign was started and all have received their regular salaries or wages. Three shifts were kept at work daily all fall and winter. WILLS FORTUNE WITH DOG. Children to Get Rich Man's Estate if They Will Take Care of Puppy. Roseburg, Ore.—"I hereby bequeath my entire estate, consisting of money in banks and property, to the children of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Nichols of Riddle, with the understanding that they are to care for my dog puppy as long as it lives," was the essential part of a will filed by James Rice of Riddle in the probate court here. Mr. Rice has lived in southern Douglas county for many years and is a great admirer of the Nichols children. Recently he decided that they should have his property and money following his death. The puppy of which Mr. Rice speaks in his will has been his constant companion for several months. CALLS MEETING OF AMERICAN BANKERS Promotion of South American Trade Object of Gathering. Washington. - Announcement was made by Secretary McAdoo that President Wilson had set May 10 for the projected conference between leading bankers of the United States and the finance ministers and influential bankers of Central and South America. The meetings will be held in Washington, and the visitors will be entertained as the guests of this government, congress having appropriated $50,000 for the expenses. This meeting will be the outcome of the most serious effort yet made to remove some of the artificial barriers which have obstructed the movement of trade between this country and South America. Some of these difficulties were considered at a less formal conference held in this city last summer. At that time it was the consensus of opinion of the South American authorities that the great bar to closer business relations between the United States and the countries below the Isthmus was the lack of banking connections. So long as the South Americans had to look to Europe for capital, it was asserted, the United States could not expect to capture any large share of business. The European war brought a right about change in this situation, making it impossible for Great Britain, France or Germany to furnish new funds, and coincidentally United States national banks received permission under the federal reserve act to open foreign branches. For this reason great importance is attached to the approaching conference. At the request of Secretary Bryan and Secretary McAdoo congress passed a resolution granting authority to the president to invite the governments of Central and South America to send their ministers of finance and leading bankers to a joint conference with the secretary of the treasury and representative bankers with a view to establishing closer and more satisfactory financial relations. The leading governments already had been approached on this subject and had indicated their willingness to participate in such a meeting. HOPE TO DIG UP MASTODON. Tooth From Skeleton Found Last May Said to Be Fine Specimen. St. Johns, Mich.—Jonas Lelk and his sons expect to make elaborate excavations on their farm in Westphalia this spring, in the hope of unearthing the skeleton of a mastodon believed to be buried in some low ground. They turned up a mastodon's tooth while digging a ditch last May, and the Museum of Natural History of New York has asked that the tooth, which is a fine specimen, be sent on for examination. If it is well preserved $500 will be paid, although the sum may be scaled down as low as $50, depending on its condition. Fathers of Six or More Exempt.

Mr. Jacob Billikopf, Superintendent Kansas City Jewish Educational Institute, Writes of the Famous Negro Institution.—A Great Influence on the Submerged Race is Spreading Out from the Alabama Institute, the Kansas City Man Believes. The Kansas City Star of March 2d, 1915, contains an article by Mr Jacob Billikopf, superintendent Kansas City Jewish Educational Institute, in warm praise of the famous institution at Tuskegee. The Clipping from the Kansas City Star follows: A Negro institution of learning, the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, with Washington, has been for thirty years quietly putting into practice all the ideas about education that are at the bottom of the so-called Gary and other systems of secondary education. So it somewhat appears to Jacob Billkopf, who has just returned from a trip to Tuskegee, Institute, where he was present at a meeting of the board of trustees. The board includes Julius Rosewald of Chicago, Seth Low, former mayor of New York, and other persons prominent in the United States. The Tuskegee system according to Mr. Billikopf, prepares the educated Negro to be of use to his fellowmen. The institute has forty departments. Those include shoemaking, laundry work, tailoring, printing, dressmaking, etc. They are housed in 103 buildings; over 90 per cent of which were put up by the students themselves. But not only did the students put up the buildings, but they also prepared the materials, even to the point of making the brick used. Earn Their Board by School Work. In fact, says Mr. Billikopf, the work of construction is typical of the way in which every article, every thing which is used or consumed at Tuskegee Institute today is made there. "The system is more adequate than anything I have ever seen," Mr. Billkopf said yesterday after his return. "Every student is supposed to pay $10 a month for board, and the system of labor is so well worked out that every student can pay by his daily labor in providing things for the institute and getting his own education at the same time, for his board. Some of them even have something coming to them at the end of the month. I have yet to see in any other place such a close relation between books and work. In arithmetic the problems have to do with the practical jobs of the students. In English they write essays on their work in the shops. In reading, they read "Up from Slavery." by Booker T. Washington. Rhetoricals are Even Practical. Mr. Billikopf was asked if this was not a reproduction of the "Gary System." He replied that the two were much alike, but that this had been going on at Tuskegee for more than twenty years. "They have rhetorical exercises at the institute once a month, and our party was fortunate enough to be present at one of them. Instead of the expected 'Across the Alps Lies Italy,' this is what we saw. A girl gave a talk on how to prepare a meal. And moreover, she actually prepared it before our eyes, explaining the chemical properties of it, and its physiological value. The preservation of fruit was the next 'oration,' treated in the same way. Another orator, in overalls and with sleeves rolled up, put up the framework of a bedroom and the girl who followed him equipped and decorated it, making the fullest use of stencelling and of raffia work. I felt that the program was an education in itself for us. "Tuskegee is the nucleus of a great influence which is spreading out in the Negro belt. Mr. Rosenwald is helping them to put up modern Negro schools all over the south, giving a certain amount which they must match. "It is impossible to describe the sensations of a person who has experienced what members of the visiting party were able to see and undergo at the institute. We saw the students in their immense dining room observing a decorum that no university commons can match. We heard some of the Negro men and women who have gone out of Tuskegee tell of their work, a work that is in many respects heroic in its unbending effort to uplift the race against great odds." Mr. Billikopf said that it was a Tuskegee graduate who won the $500 prize offered by Everybody's Magazine some time ago for the best essay on prohibition. The same man won one of the Hart Schaffner & House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

Davis, one of Alexandria's oldest and most highly respected and influential citizens, died at his late residence, 826 Wolfe street, Tuesday morning, March 16th, in his 69th year. The deceased had been ill for a long time, but had continued to attend to his many duties until about a week ago, when he finally gave up to an attack of grip, which developed into a fatal case of pneumonia. For more than a quarter of a century the deceased had been messenger at the Citizen's National Bank, one of the oldest and most reliable banking institutions in the state. He was treasurer of the New Era Building Association of this city, a member of the Alexandria Patrilarchy, one of the oldest members of Harmony Lodge 818 G. U. O. O. F., and at one time a trustee of Roberts Chapel M. E. Church of which he was a member. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Henry Davis, Mrs. Florence D. Madella, Charles R. Davis of Garden City, L. L. Perry Davis, Milton D. Davis of Hempstead, L. I., and Miss Fanny Davis. Funeral services were held at Roberts Chapel, Friday afternoon, at 3 p.m. Rev. Joseph Wheeler, the pastor, officiated. Interment was in Bethel Cemetery. Mr. Charles Arnold, known to Alexandrians as "Charlie Arnold," the man who little more than a decade ago put Alexandria on the Colored underfaker's map, has come back to the city for a few days and now has in course of construction at 311 N. Patrick street, a strictly modern undertaker's establishment, equipped with an office, private office, lavatory, morgue and a unique chapel with organ, pulpit, etc., the same as we find in a small church. Mr. Arnold will conduct his local establishment as a branch of his large place of business now located at Wilmington, N. C., and he will keep constantly in touch with the business here. Mr. Arnold has not yet selected a local manager, but in an interview with the Bee's correspondent, he assures the community that he will select one that will be proficient, careful and courteous. Colored architects, brick masons, carpenters and other mechanics are doing all the work on the building. Miss Agnes Johnson, one of Roberts Chapel's most faithful members, was buried from the church on Friday, March 12. Rev. Jos. Wheeler officiated. Interment was at Leesburg, the home of Mrs. Belle Edwards, a sister of the deceased. Mr. Solomon Ware died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Wm. H. Skinner, 62 south Asaph street, Tuesday. Arrangements for the funeral had not been perfected at this writing. There is much sickness in the city and suburbs. The sick list is as follows: Lawyer T. Montgomery Watson, Mrs. Eliza Pritchett, Mrs. Etta Robinson, Mrs. Bessie Dove, Mrs. Cora Conway, Mr. Richard Dogans, Mrs. Sarah Derrick, Mrs. Ella Reynolds, and Mr. Quarles Boyd. The party at the residence of Miss Laura M. Dorsey on the evening of Wednesday, March 17, under the auspices of the Embroidery Club of Roberts Chapel was well attended and everybody enjoyed themselves. Subscribe for The Bee.

A. building, expressed gratification at the restoration to the Sundry Civil Bill of the appropriation for Howard University, and appreciation for the United States Senators and members of the House of Representatives, and all others, who used their influence to restore this item to the bill. It was cited that Howard for years has exerted a nation-wide influence toward making better citizens of ten million American citizens, and that the Mu-So-Lit Club rejoices with, the rest of these citizens at the success of this institution.

Old Uncle Eph stopped under a tree in shelter from the sun, while he took a last breathing spell before making a final spurt for home. The day had been a hot one, and a long one, and had well nigh tuckered the old man out. The "quitting song" of the harvest hands had echoed itself in the utter silence while a lonesome cricket gave out an occasional chirp to warn Uncle Eph that the shade of night was about to fall. The old Negro had trudged along the dry and rutted road at a fairly good pace considering his seventy some years, and the rheumatism. Like most country roads it ran hither and thither in a reckless fashion of its own, circling the hills and avoiding the dark woods. Uncle Eph stood under the maple and mopped his black dome with a bandana, before starting down the foot-path where it twisted suddenly before dipping down to the green meadows below. The old man, a true relic of "befo' de wah" time, zigzags down the hill until he strikes in upon the pike. Here, the going is easier for his weary feet. Then the short cut. Yes, over Colonel Shoats' fence. Down through the orchard until he comes to the mill. Then catacorner across the corn field. That will save a mile and bring him out at the wheat. "But what's that? There—standing like a Devil!! With arms extended ready to gather him in, squeeze him to death, or devour him. Old Eph is paralized with fear. To run is impossible. With eyes nearly popping from his scared-white head, the old man faces this terrible apparition, and in his agony shrieks, "Who are you?" And the answer comes back quicker than a flash of lightning, "Jim Crow." "Jim Crow, Jim Crow," keeps repeating the Negro. "Well, what do you want with me," he asks. "Ha! Ha!" laughs Jim Crow, "I Howard Dental Parlors Howard Dental Parlors The only up to date dental parlors in the city operated by Colored Dental Surgeons.

Your folks have poked into Congress; one of them lunched with a president; some have cut up capers in the arts; and sciences—When will it end? Tell me?" Then Jim Crow lifted his clenched fist and gesticulating violently went on. "You Negro people must not be so forward and when the whites tell you to sit separated in the street cars you must do so and not mutter." With tremendous courage old Uncle Eph answered, "You have harassed and fought my people ever since they were freed from slavery; you've tried to keep them shackled long after they've been freed. Every thinking person says we've done wonderfully well considering our freedom is only a half a century old. Don't press old prejudice down upon us. Give us a chance and in another generation or so, we will show you that we have made good." The moon shone through the clouds and in the dazzling brightness Uncle Eph gained courage and grappled S.

LESSONS FROM SAUL'S FAILURES 1 Samuel 1, 1-4—March 21 Obedience Without Its Spirit Caused Saul's Difficulties—The Kingdom, Taken From Saul's Family, Given to David, "a Man After God's Own Heart"—Saul Profited Partially by His Mistakes and Was Blessed Accordingly—Lessons For Everybody. "Let us put on the armor of light."—Iom. 13:12. THE army which accomplished the victory of our last Study was disbanded; and subsequently King Saul had standing army of three thousand men. One thousand of these were under command of his son Jonathan. The remainder constituted a royal guard, immediately under Saul's directions. Apparently the land of Israel was completely dominated by the Philistines, who here and there had garrisons. The Israelites were poorly armed; for the Philistines would not permit them to have weapons of war, lest they should rebel. Similarly, the British prevent munitions of war from go ing to India. When therefore Jonathan wiped out a garrison of Philistines, it meant war. The Hebrews trembled at what might be the results, just as the people of India would tremble at what the British might do in a similar case: Disobedience of King Saul creased their army of occupation; and the Israelites—unarmed, except with agricultural implements, etc.—were terrorized. Saul's army of three thousand dwindled to six hundred; yet word reached him from the Prophet Samuel to wait seven days for Samuel's arrival, apparently with the intention that the people should thoroughly feel their impotence and cry unto the Lord. King Saul waited seven days, and then, seeing how his army was dwindling and that Samuel had not returned, on the seventh day offered sacrifices without authority. Just as he had finished the sacrifices, the Prophet appeared, reproved him sharply, and told him that because of his failure to obey fully, his family should not be continued as the Lord's representatives in Israel. The king apologized, and explained that he thought it necessary to do something and did the only thing he could think of. Very few kings or generals of today would do any nearer the Lord's will than did King Saul. Very few would have apologized to the Prophet. If King Saul had been given further opportunities, he might gradually have learned implicit obedience to God; and yet our next lesson shows that he again failed along the same lines. It requires many experiences to teach some of us complete reliance on the Lord and full obedience to His every requirement. Perhaps the Lord wished to teach that any king sitting upon the typical Throne of the Lord must be implicitly obedient, not merely to the letter of the Divine command, but to its spirit; for Israel's kings to a considerable extent foreshadowed the Messianic Kingdom. Those who will be Messiah's joint-heirs must not only be outwardly obedient, but inwardly obedient to the spirit of God's Law. Only Priests Might Sacrifice. King Saul's sacrifice of burnt offerings to the Lord was condemned as a sin, because God had made a specific law to the effect that only priests might sacrifice. The priestly tribe typically represented the Church—fully consecrated to God and accepted by Him. These the Apostle styles the antitypes, not only of Israel's kings, but also of Israel's priests. St. Peter says of the Church in general, and not of the clergy in particular, "We are a Royal Priesthood."—1 Peter 2:9. All God's consecrated people are prospective kings and sacrificing priests. Unless these saltiy Christians sacrifice their present lives, they will not get the great reward of joint-heelship with Christ, the Chief Priest of their profession. As we read, "If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him"; and again, "I be secech you, brethren, * * * * present your bodies a living sacrifice." — 2 Timothy 2:12; Romans 12:1. The Prophet's Reproof. The Bible recognizes no division of God's people into clergy and laity. This was a snare of the Adversary, introduced gradually in the third and fourth centuries. The Bible teaching is that all spirit-begotten children of God are members of the antitypical Royal Priesthood, all brethren, all authorized to preach God's Word. Craving a Second Chance. Daily the Christian has repeated chances of repentance of sin and of making a fresh start, through the merit of Christ. King Saul had no such experience; he had only the arrangement common to all Jews—the typical Atonement Day, atonning for the nation's sins for a whole year. Being himself partly a type, King Saul was necessarily dealt with along lines of strict justice, and the kingdom declared forfelted by his family because of his offering a sacrifice not authorized. Our lesson proceeds to tell the story of how Jonathan and his armor-bearer, blessed of the Lord, were victorious over their enemies. Moved from 1132 3rd Street, to 227 K Street, N.W.

The following comment is upon the same, from the Seattle, Wash., Daily Times: The evidence submitted by Elder Webb tending to prove that the Saviour of mankind was a black those who oppose the proposition upon their proof.

Not only was Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also. A new book entitled "The Black Man Was the Father of Civilization." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible and therefore has nothing to fear. This book is illustrated with many pictures. Price, $1.00 by mail. The following comment is from the Seattle Daily Post Intelligencer: Elder J. M. Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful. Whether the Anglo-Saxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history.

The supervisor of the Colored schools of Prince George county visited the above-named school Tuesday, March 9, 1915. He found Mrs. Sarah J. Dent in charge and pushing forward her work. She made a fine impression upon the supervisor. He was delighted to find the industrial feature of Mrs. Dent's school well organized. Her girls are given sewing. Her boys are given drawing and such other hand work as the condition will permit. Notwithstanding this industrial work Mrs. Dent's pupils are abreast with the times and will compare favorably with the best Colored schools in their academic work. Mrs. Dent keeps in close touch with the methods used in the public schools of the District of Columbia. She has a daughter teaching in the graded schools of Washington who has been of the greatest help. Among the special features found in the school at Sharpersville were the following exhibits: Chocolate and cocoa exhibits, a set of petroleum products, also salt and rubber exhibits. From Colgate & Co., she has tubes of Colgate's Ribbon Dental Cream which she finds so useful in her hygiene lectures on "Care of the Teeth." ACCÖKEEK SCHOOL, ACCOKEEK, MARYLAND. The supervisor of schools, Prof. James F. Armstrong, after spending Monday at Chapel Hill School, Tuesday at Sharpersville School, arrived at the Accokeek School Tuesday in the afternoon, and Wednesday, March 10, in the examination of the work on that school. He found Miss Cora L. Hawkins busily engaged pushing forward her work. Not only was she making a high mark in her academic work, she was alive to the new special industrial work now being carried on throughout the county under the supervision of Mr. James F. Armstrong. Miss Hawkins, with all the rest will come up "bringing in the sheaves." THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880 TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance.....$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three-months.....50 Subscription monthly.....20 THE VERDICT. The verdict of the jury was no doubt a surprise to those who heard the testimony in the Glenn assault case. Those who rejoiced at the time of the alleged offense and attended a quisi reception will shed a few days in the near future. Mr. Chase has accomplished his purpose. Those who attended the trial are satisfied of the conditions in the Colored public schools. The people are convinced that the showing made at the recent trial, that a change should be made in the head of the Colored public schools and in deed all along the line. The representatives of the District Committee had his representative present and within a few months the verdict of the jury will be reversed and then the laugh of someone will begin. It is a true aphorism; "truth crushed to the earth will rise again." If Mr. Chase was not assaulted then the sensational public reports in the two local papers were lies; then the many jubilations and the the enemies, after vous of this as- im imaginary real facts. dant that must have of the tset of the Craig. show f the enemies, after vous of this as- im imaginary real facts. dant that must have of the seth Craig. at the tr show what a predicament Roscoe Bruce was in when the prosecution confront d him with his picture and autograph compliments of his esteem for the editor, and then his explanation of the sentiments on the picture. When the prosecutor asked the assistant superintendent what he meant by such inscription, what slimy excuse or meaning did he put to the appollation, unique, in the sense Mr. Bruce wanted it applied is as Emerson expressed it; "Where is the master who could have instructed Franklin, or Washington, or Bacon, or Newton Every great man is unique." "That which to the Jews their unique position among the nations is what we are accustomed to regard as their sacred history, Spectator, No. 3035, p 1159. Fearless, according to the definition of Webster's Urabridged Dictionary means: 1st, free from fear, betraying no fear; 2d, harmless, not regarded with fear; Synonim, bold, daring, courageous, intrepid, valorous, brave, undaunted, doubtless, heroic. Now Mr. Bruce's last appollation is one of which only the pure in heart is guilty. Relentless: Inneable of relenting; unmoved by pity; unpitying; insensible to distress of others; destitute of tenderness. "Only in destroying I find case to my relentless thoughts."—Milton. P. L. IX: 120. Now the learned prosecutor wanted to know if his appollition had a double meaning? Was it to deceive Mr. Chase, or the people, his teachers or his friends? If either Mr. Bruce is guilty of what he has often charged. Did he tell the truth when he swore that he was afraid of the editor? Did he tell the truth when he wrote that the editor was unique? Mr. Bruce will be given an opportunity to explain not only what he has applied to the editor but many other things. Why wasn't Dr. Thurston summoned as a character witness? Why were not a few of the white members of the board of education summoned as character witnesses? Why were not Drs. Childs and Marshall asked the same questions that were asked those who had been criticised by Mr. Chase in The Bee? Did it not look strange to the people? No doubt, both of the Colored board members would have been greatly embarrassed. They have been members of the Board of Education longer than Mrs. Cook, but she can teach them both diplomacy. No verdict of a jury is final. The final verdict will be rendered shortly. GRATITUDE. Now let us come to Miss Emma F. G. Merritt who was recommended for demotion and transfer. It was the editor of The Bee who saved her. She has admitted the fact that the editor saved her official head. She also sent an article to this paper, or rather she brought it. Was she courteously treated? Did she ever thank the editor or compensate him? Did the editor ever refuse at any time to aid her family? The editor put her father in office; after a brief stay it was found that he was too old to hold the place and then he put her brother-in-law in office, which position he holds today. And yet, she would rather for the attorney for the defense not to push the question. O, why was the question withdrawn by the attorney for the defense? Five days before the trial Dr. Marshall called the editor up and informed him that Glenn had summoned him but he did not know why. It was the editor who placed Dr. Marshall on the board of education; it was the editor who elected Dr. Marshall an alternate delegate to the National Republican Convention of 1912. The editor is too magnanimous to tell all he knows, but he will shortly. What a spectacle of Washington school teachers present at this trial. They came to satisfy their hungry thirst for filth. They sit all day craving for that which they didn't get. Who must be responsible for the unnecessary closing of the schools to allow these teachers to appear in court? The tax payers, to be sure. The Bee is aware of what is going on in the schools and it is up to the superintendent to nip it in the bud. Will it stop? No, just as the learned prosecutor said, where will it stop? Ask the prosecutor what his opinion is of this trial. "Truth crushed to earth will rise again." COLORED LAWYERS WIN BIG VICTORY. Lawyers Armond W. Scott and Benjamin L. Gaskins are to be conducted upon the victory which was on Tuesday, March 16th, in Circuit Court No.2, when a jury in that court brought in a verdict for the sum of fifteen hundred dollars on behalf of their client against the Fidelity Storage and Trust Company. They brought suit against the said Company on behalf of the widow of the late Frank Hopkins, who met his death while cleaning windows in the building of said storage company. This victory on the part of Colored lawyers is another evidence of the fact that they can get the same results in the courts of the District of Columbia as anyone else, if there is merit in their cause, and they have the ability to present the same. It also refutes the arguments of a certain class of Negroes in the District of Columbia, who have no confidence in themselves, or in any other member of their race. The widow of the late Frank Hopkins is a plain, honest, hard-knoxhip oum 'umum ڪڪڪڪڪ that class of Negroes who believes in one another, and who constitute the real bone and sinew of the race. This class of Negroes can always be depended upon to support race enterprises, and stand by one another, while the artificial Negro who neither represents himself nor anyone else, is always ready to decry the efforts of the Negro lawyer. The Negro lawyer is here to stay, and he Judges and Jury in the District of Columbia are always ready to give him whatever he deserves, according to the merits of the cause which he represents. And he will continue to live and thrive in spite of the antipathy of a certain class of Negroes, who with all of their educational advantages and environments, are more prejudiced against one another than the rankest "cracker" from the jungles of Georgia. WHY NOT? It was in the power of the last Democratic Congress to pass a "Jim Crow" car bill without the aid of the Republican minority, if every Democrat thought as the majority of the southern Democrats thought at the time the "Jim Crow" car bill was introduced. It was quite evident that the better thinking Democrats didn't desire to humiliate the Colored people because they knew it was wrong. In thanking those who voted against the bill, it must be remembered that Rev. L. C. Moore was right when he said the thanks of the Colored people should be extended to all that voted against this outrageous piece of legislation. The Colored voters must be more liberal towards men who have befriended them, notwithstanding their politics. It is the belief of The Bee that the president is anxious to do something for those who supported him. The Bee has not reached that point in politics when The Bee can desert the party on national issues under any circumstances. The Colored voters who supported him deserve some substantial consideration. The Bee doesn't know of a more deserving man than Attorney Peyton. He is highly educated and one of the most successful members of the bar. Mr. Peyton in the face of tremendous criticism and ostracism declared boldly for the President and the Democratic party. He spent his own money and contributed to the Democratic campaign. He was not like nine-tenths of the Colored Democrats, who were paid in full for services rendered. The Bee doesn't condemn anybody for thinking as he thinks best. Every man has a right to his opinion, be that opinion right or wrong. The Bee yet believes that the President will keep faith with his black allies. ROBERT II. HARLAN SR. There is no man in the Government service who attends to his own business and the duties assigned him more than Mr. Robert Harlan, sr. Ever since he has been in this city he has carried a dignified and reserved air, always and at all times attending to his own business. The editor of The Bee is personally acquainted with the well-known Ohioan and is always glad when he sees such men in the Government service making good. His son, Mr. Robert Harlan, jr., has always been a business factor in this city. His toggery shop is equal to any in this city and men can have no excuse to go elsewhere to purchase men's underwear. The Bee is published in the interests of the people and not to harm or misrepresent any one and it is the determination of the editor to see that justice is done to all men who have established business in the city and be supported by the people. The mission of The Bee is to build up and not tear down. May the Harlans continue to succeed is the wish of The Bee. THE JUDGES. The Bee this week will make its readers and its patrons the judges of the alleged assault and this school question and decide among themselves a decision whether a change in the Colored school system is a necessity and why not place the schools under one head. If not, why not consider a successor to the present assistant superintendent, namely: Prof. H. M. Brown. Prof. W. S. Montgomery. Prof. James T. Walker. Prof. Gregory, of Howard University. Prof. Inman Page, of Maryland, formerly of this city. Prof. L. M. Hershaw, a brilliant scholar and educator. Can there be any objection to any of the foregoing? TRANSFER INEVITABLE TRANSFER INEVITABLE. The transfer of the schools to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia will be one of the inevitable acts of the next Congress. That the deplorable conditions in the Colored schools exists was emphasized in the address of the Assistant United States Attorney to the jury Friday, March 12th inst. It is quite evident that sufficient information has been placed in the hands of the judges to convince them that the Colored schools are in need of reorganization. That a new assistant superintendent of schools is one of the most important acts of the superintendent of schools. Why not place the schools under one head. Why should we have a dual system of educational management is the question that the people have been considering. MRS. LANGSTON DEAD MRS. LANGSTON DEAD Mrs. John Mercer Langston, one among the greatest American women, is dead. She died at her home Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Mrs. Langston is dead, and the country will feel the loss. She was a noble woman, a diplomat, and the personification of virtue, honor and intellect. A woman among women, possessing all make a man or woman was the noble wife of t She was the queen of anhood. To the bereaved far tinquished sons, daughters and to her son-in-law, Ex-Register James C. Napier, the editor of The Bee extends his heartfelt sympathy. Full particulars next week MANLY SENTIMENTS "We pray," said the letter, "that God may continue to guide you in the paths of peace and save this nation from shedding blood. All my race wants, Mr. President, is manhood rights."—Rev. L. C. Moore. Why should Rev. Moore be criticized because he commended the President for keeping this country from war. What more could he say; when he said all that he wanted was to keep this nation from shedding blood and guarantee manhood rights for his people! Could any more manly utterances be made? The Bee endorses the sentiment expressed in his sentiment to the President. "NUF SED." This is the author of an anonymous note sent to the Editor. The Editor knows "Nuf Sed" is the individual who was put out of commission for the librarianship. The Bee has the most implicit confidence in the gentleman referred to and knows him to be an honorable and upright man. "Nuf Sed." THE ONLY ACT Perhaps the friends of the editor may want to know what harm he ever did to Miss Emma F. G. Merritt. The only harm he can remember was, a few months ago, to save her from being demoted and transferred, and exposed her enemies. The gentleman (?) from Boston, Mass., and a teacher at Howard University, Houston, kindly, get ready to take a ticket of leave now. He knows a man's reputation without knowing him. Wasn't it a lucky thing that certain Colored physicians didn't testify? Their practice of medicine in this city would have been short lived. The Bee is full of information and before the end the people shall be fully informed. Every teacher who left his school to testify to character should be made to reimburse the District. Strange that Superintendent Thurston was not requested to appear and testify to character. The issue was assault and not character. A premium will be given for the best definition of unique, fearless and relentless. THE GATHOLIC CHURCH. (Continued from page t. ) and women; too, of our race see discrimination and prejudice standing in the forefront of the good works. "The Negro Question" is a detriment to any one's Christianity when it is handled in that way. In fact, it is a detriment to Christianity itself; it is so un-Christian like. Personally, I am sorry to see and to feel it too, that our Great Church, if not the church itself, those or some of those intrusted with its Christian works, falls to see or recognize the humiliation we suffer and the sorrows we endure just because of God creating us with a different hue of our skin. Are we to succeed with the Saint Mary's Mission in this Diocese? Yours respectfully, (Signed) P. L. CARMOUCHE, 341 Erskine St., Detroit, Michigan, April 11th, 1913. My Dear Father Wuest: Since it is true that some of the "Colored Catholics" of the Diocese of Detroit is endeavoring to have a separate church of worship as Catholics, the enclosed clipping from the Chicago Defender of April 5th, 1913, is of very much importance at this present time, as to the question of our separation in Detoit. Locality in matters of this kind is of no consequence, what is true of Chicago, Illinois, can be as true in Detroit, Michigan. Will not a separation on account of our color in our house of religious worship bring about a separation of our Catholic school houses of Catholic education? Mature consideration of the question leads me to believe that it will. One form or kind of separation will, in the very nature of it, lead to another. By a careful reading of the clipping you will readily see that the question concerns the St. Monica's Mission of Chicago, Ill., a similar institution as our St. Mary's Mission of Detoit. I do not think that further comment is necessary. To Rev. Father Marcus and The Board of Trustees of the St Peter-Claver's Church, Beaublen and Elliot Sts. Sirs and Brothers: Enclose please find your financial card and $1.00 as a small contribution on the part of the family. As per your note sent me January 29th, I do agree with you that "you possess a very beautiful little church." But my deat friends, the beauty of your church as a place or house of worship is a mere building which signifies nothing, unless the broad principles supposedly advocated by the Catholic Church is strictly adhered to in every particular. My views are so pronounced on the equality of man, or our creation, and this wave of prejudice against the persons of color which is sweeping this country, I doubt very much that my membership and presence at any of your meetings could or would be of any use. No, not unless I could feel assured, and this is not a selfish motive, that we could so conduct the affairs of the St. Peter-Claver's Church in a way as to cut out the Jim Crow features of it, and not be a part of drawing the color line. I would, with those parts eliminated, as one who came from one of the oldest Catholic families in the United States, give much assistance and consideration to this useful enterprise. In all due respect to your opinions to the contrary, I do not hesitate to say that a Catholic Church conducted as a separate church of the races is a violation of the Sacred Principles of the Faith, and the same should not be true in this instance and remain so. Now then, if I can be of any assistance in bringing about this most broad principle in this enterprise kindly advise me of the fact. Respectfully. (Signed) P. L. CARMOUCHE P. L. CARMOUCH. All of this talk concerning the "The Catholic Church sticks closer to the Christian Religion," and "Education (some one speaking from a Catholic standpoint) will wipe out the prejudices of your (our) opponents in the fight for life and it will wipe away many of the disgraceful proceedings in various parts of our land in which some of the lawless have been guilty and etc."—Is not so from a Catholic standpoint. But Mr. Editor and Friends: If the Great Catholic Church, the mother church of all churches since the Christian era, and the strongest church in the United States, would be serious with this most infamous question; prejudice against the persons of color in the United States; would communicate priests as well as members who would dare to question her rights to treat all as equals in assisting to conduct all of the affairs, regardless of a person's color, of the church, thereby destroying at one sweep, prejudices of all kinds and description, in so far as the Catholic Church was concerned, it would be a death blow to prejudice in the United States against the person on account of his color. She would then prove to the world that the teachings of Christ and Christianity was something no human had any rights to question. Then, and not until then, should a Colored person admit the superiority of the Catholic Church. Is this asking to much for a race oppressed in a country filled with Catholic Churches? THE NEW AMERICANISM Rev. M. F. Sydes, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, delivered an address on "The New Americanism," before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, Tuesday Evening. My race, he said, has made a mistake in saying that we have no flag—and therefore no country. We have drifted into that channel, when there seemed to be a lack of protection to us, when a misfortune comes. The reasoning is wrong. We have a single flag, the emblem of the whole people. It stands as their signal of protection—at home and abroad. The nation is the father of our parental home and fireside. All people of native birth have a right to enjoy the liberty and protection of the government. Such is guaranteed by the Constitution. No discrimination is due us—because of native birth. Too many of us believe we are foreigners and strangers at home. We have no rights in any country other than this. The average young man of today is not a credit to Frederick Douglas, Summer, Chase, Lovejoy, Nat Turner and John Brown. There is no country like this for the poor to rise. The abrogation of our rights is not due to the Constitution. The Constitution is not to blame. It is plain on the subject, but the States have found ways to say as to who shall vote. There must rise out of this people, giants, sufficiently strong to call attention to these atrocious conditions. We are the ones to stand up for our rights. We must keep thundering until something is done. We have the law on our side to start with. We have had fifty years of cultivation. In the last Congress more legislation hostile to the negro was brought forward than in any Congress since the reconstruction period, but none of it passed. This shows we still have friends. As a race we are too ready to wait; we don't know when we are insulted. Our skin is too thick. No man can do his best service when he is crushed. We must assert ourselves, this is our-country; the Capital is our house; this city our playground, ours. The paper was discussed by Mr. Williams and Professor J. W. Cromwell. The letter said this race has a great future, a race that has done so much, in the past not withstanding great obstacles, must be able to do more in the future. He referred to the great work done by Amanda Smith and said her life should be an incentive to us. He called attention to Katie Ferguson, who was born a slave and was an illiterate woman but through her efforts to help others, she opened the first Sunday School in the United States. He predicted that at the close of the European War, greater opportunities will be opened to the darken race of the world. Vocal selections were rendered by Rev. L. M. Becket. The meeting closed by singing "America." THE COLORED LAWYER. Some people may have the wrong opinion of the Colored lawyer; it is because they don't know him. The more you read of him and come in contact with him the more you will appreciate him. In the courts, he conducts himself in a manner that is commendable. It is a pleasure for The Bee to speak of his legal qualities and personal worth. This week The Bee will consider first: Armond W. Scott, Esq., who stands like an Ajax at the local bar. He is a man of commanding appearance, a positive character, determined and persevering, untiring in his efforts to win; above everything else, he is honest which courts look upon as the greatest requisite of a successful lawyer. A good lawyer must be honest and void of sharp practices. He must be loyal to his clients and above everything else honest with the courts. Attorney Scott has a most amitable wife and fine baby boy. His wife is a woman of exceptional qualities and one of the most gifted and refined housewives to be found anywhere. He generally associates with him in cases one of his own because he has confidence in the Colored members of the bar. In a recent civil case, just won by him and Attorney B. L. Gaskins for fifteen hundred dollars is an evidence of the ability of the Colored attorney. Another characteristic in him is he is true to his friends and under all circumstances and conditions he can be depended on. His clerical assistant is above the average. In this connection The Bee wants to mention Charles S. Hill, Esq. He is one of the younger members of the bar. He is a church man and a member of several secret societies. He is careful in the conduct of his cases and in administration cases he sees that his clients make no mistakes and that he makes an honest report. He confines himself estate and civil cases. Mr. H distinguished gentleman. HeULAR among those who know h will no doubt become a brilliant lawyer. He has a handsomely up office at 609 F street, north and a competent assistant of refinement. C. S. WILLIAMS. ESQ. C. S. WILLIAMS, ESQ. Accomplished, polished and persevering are the characteristics of C. S. Williams, Esq. He came to this city from Atlanta, Ga., some three years ago. He comes from one of the leading families in the state. As a lawyer, he is a good civil as well as a good criminal lawyer. He is steadily forcing his way to the front. There is no young man better liked and whose company is any more congenial. He is no deceptive to his friends and neither is he dangerous to his enemies. He believes in treating his fellowman as he wishes to be treated. He is a young man of family, a most accomplished wife and a woman of industry. As a lawyer, he is a success. CAPTAIN NORMAN, A GREAT AND GOOD, MAN, GONE. Captain Isaac Norman, who lived in Falls Church, Va., for the past 34 years, died on last Monday morning at his daughter's residence in Washington. He was one of the old school gentlemen, the soul of honor, and a remarkable man. He was born in Marietta, Ohio, and was one of the first men to be licensed as a steamboat 'master on the Mississippi. He has been a great farmer both in Ohio and Virginia. As a leader of men he was noted in the fields of labor, politics, and church work. Many a stupendous task of road and railroad building, bridge building and mining operations he has successfully put through. He rendered vallant service for the republican party in Ohio and Virginia. He served for a long time in connection with the life-saving branch of the Treasury Department. Senator Sherman, General Burt, and many men of large calibre in public life were personal friends of his. The headquarters for Camp-Alger during the Spanish American war were situated on the farm owned by Captain Norman in Falls Church This farm has long been considered one of the best in Northern Virginia, and hosts a splendid orchard of over 700 trees. Captain Norman sold this farm to a number of Washington young Colored men, who have named it the "Norman" Farm in his honor. The race loses a stalwart character in the death of this honest God-fearing old man of 77 years.

Right and Wrong Views of Fasting. The Bible's Teaching—The Spirit of Fasting—Spiritual Feasting at the Same Time—Hygienic Value of Fasting—Spiritual Advantages. Nashville, Tenn., March 14.—Pastor Russell gave two addresses here today. We report the one on Matthew 6:16, "When ye Fast, be not of a sad countenance." He said in part: P The Lenten season - the forty days' fast preceding the anniversary of Jesus' PASTOR RUSSELL Of such perfunctory fasting, displeasing to God and valueless to the individual — hypocritical fasting — we give an illustration. An acquaintance who professed to observe Lent was instructed that he should drink but one cup of coffee during the Fast. He made some kind of compromise with his conscience by which he got his coffee in a bowl. He got the same amount of coffee as when he took two cups, but thought the Lord would not notice the cheat, and would reward him for such hypocritical fasting. Nothing is more contemptible in the Lord's sight than a hypocrite. Honesty is the one quality which all who would be pleasing to God must possess, no matter how weak or fallen they may be by heredity. In His preaching Jesus condemned hypocrisy more than any other sin on the calendar—perhaps as much as all other sins together. The first lesson with Christians, with everybody, should be honest—not only in monetary affairs, but in everything, including words and thoughts. Although nothing in the Bible suggests a Lenten season, the Apostles commend fasting. St. Paul wrote, "Approving ourselves in fastings," and again, "in fastings often." (2 Corinthians 6.4.5; 11.27.) Evidently fasting is in the nature of self-sacrifice—not a thing commanded, but a voluntary offering of the soul to God, with a view to greater efficiency in God's service or to greater control over our imperfect mortal bodies in the interests of our spiritual new nature Appropriate Lenten Thoughts. Indeed, much may be said in favor of fasting during the Lenten season. On hygienic grounds alone it would be of advantage, particularly to all well-to-do and well-fed. If during the springtime they would fast, or restrain themselves from eating as liberally of meats, sweets, pastry, etc., as they were inclined to eat during the colder weather—eating less than their appetites crave. Bolls, pimples, liver arrangements, fevers and doctor bills would be greatly lessened if this course were pursued. This is the practical side of the question, which may have had to do with the original institution of the Lenten custom. The Christian, however, may advantageously take a much deeper, spiritual meaning out of Leat. He may remember the Savior's experiences for the forty days preceding His crucifixion. He may remember that it was just before His crucifixion that Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper, and indicated that date as being the proper one for its annual commemoration amongst His followers, as was the custom in the early Church. He may remember sympathetically the Redeemer's trials at this season of the year, and also remember that all the followers of Jesus convenant, agree, to share His Cup of suffering, of ignominy, of misunderstanding, of misrepresentation, of slander, of abuse, of death. He may remember that, as this was the special time of trial for Jesus, so it seems also to have been from the very first a time of special trial, testing, sifting, amongst His followers. All these various considerations might well move the true people of God to the observance of a fast during a period preceding the anniversary of their Redeemer's death. In observing such a fast—such a restraint of appetite—from a desire to draw especially near to God, they would certainly be contributing a share toward that end, in harmony with the Scriptural declaration. "Draw nigh unto Me, and I will draw nigh unto you." A Model Fast. We have no suggestions to offer respecting the kind of food or the quantity that should be eaten. We believe that there are people in such a physically weak condition that it would be absolutely wrong for them to abstain from such nourishments as they may be able to assimilate. Heart and head should combine in determining this matter of fasting. Daniel the Prophet gives us a hint when he tells us that for three whole weeks he ate no pleasant bread, while he especially sought the Lord in prayer respecting matters which perplexed him. In his official position he was surrounded with the best the kingdom provided. But he confined himself strictly to the things which his system absolutely needed for the maintenance of mental and physical strength; he ate nothing simply for its good flavor. he ate nothing superabundantly, to clog his system, to make him sluggish in mind and body, and to incapacitate him for his routine work and, additionally, for his special prayers for wisdom. We can all take a good lesson from this Scriptural example. Jesus did not teach His disciples to follow the custom of fasting. The matter was remarked, some saying, "John the Baptist and his disciples fast," and the Pharisees, etc., fast, "but Jesus' disciples fast not." In answer to the question, Why not? Jesus replied that it was not the appropriate time. Instead of a fast, they were having a feast. The Bridegroom was with them. They knew no sorrow, no care. All their wants were provided for; they were drinking at the Fountain of Divine Truth and grace; they were eating freely of the wonderful words of eternal life, and accordingly they did not fast, as others. This does not mean, however, that they lived sumptuously; for we remember that on two occasions, after Jesus had fed a multitude on plain bread and fish, miraculously increased, He directed His disciples to gather up the fragments; and these they carried with them as their own food supply for many days. This was a practical fasting, though not an outward one. Jesus declared that the days would come when the Bridegroom would be gone; and He said, "In those days they shall fast." (Matthew 9:15). Their days of fasting and prayer began as soon as the Lord was crucified, and have continued ever since, whether outwardly observed in genteen fashion, or whether known only to themselves in their own hearts. At the followers of Jesus have practiced fasting, self-denial; else surely they would not have prospered in spirit! The Christian's Perpetual Fast. It is a mistake to prove that fasting applies merely to itself; it really applies to everything. In its broadest sense, it signifies self-denial—denial of the desires of the flesh, to the intent that the spiritual nature may be the more thoroughly strengthened. The Apostle clearly shows this in his suggestion that husbands and wives occasionally live apart, that they may give themselves the more thoroughly to prayer and the consideration of spiritual things. (1 Corinthians 7:5.) The true Christian will really live a life of self-denial every day. He will remember the Apostle's words, "If ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the desires of the flesh ye shall live." Such mortification of the flesh, such self-denials of the various appetites or inclinations of the flesh in the interest of the new nature, are all fastings. The ideal condition for Christians, of course, would be to maintain a perpetual fast—to live always in so all-stemious a manner as would keep them spiritually in the best condition and make them the most efficient in the Lord's service. Where this highest ideal seems impossible or unattainable, then the next thing in order would be as close an approach to this as seems possible—not of Divine command, for there is none, but of his own free will—sacrificing himself, his fleshy appetites and propensities, in the interest of his own spiritual development and that of his service of the Lord. "Appear not unto men to fast." Our Lord's instructions were that, IHs followers should not make a show of their fasting—should not boast of their self-sacrifice and self-denials. Those matters should be between God and themselves. Instead of making their countenances sad-looking and appearing to men to crave sympathy, they should contrariwise take special care that none might notice outwardly washing their faces, annotating their heads and generally looking cheerful, happy. Indeed, the true Christian, who fasts in the proper manner and with the proper sentiment, will not need to feign happiness; for his portion will be the joy of the Lord, and "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will rule in his heart." The Scriptural proposition seems to be that the Lord's people will fast, or practise self-restraint, along the lines of physical conditions, food, etc., in order that they may feast along the lines of spiritual conditions and refreshments. The whole tenor of Scripture is to the effect that the followers of Christ are spiritually advantaged by allowing the mind of the Spirit, the holy mind, the Holy Spirit of God, to rule in their mortal bodies—to the restraining of their natural inclinations, tastes, preferences, appetites, which the Scriptures declare are all vitiated more or less by heredity—by our share in the alienation from God and the curse, in which we share naturally. St. Paul voices this sentiment in the words, "The flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." Thus, as the Bible tells us, the Christian is continually at warfare, not with carnal weapons, and not with his neighbors or family, but with himself—his new nature warring a good warfare against his old nature. In this conflict he is to come off as overcomer; and his victory will not be complete until he is actually dead according to the flesh, until, as a New Creature, he shall have experienced the blessings of the resurrection to the perfection of the spiritual nature. Feasting While Fasting. The unregenerate might not unreasonably gain the impression that if this presentation be true, a Christian's life would be a very unhappy one—continually battling with himself, continually watching, practising self-denial and striving against the natural tendencies of sin. But such a conclusion would be very erroneous; for really the Christian alone has the true secret of a happy life. Even the worldly recognize the fact that they need to practice self-restraint, and that whosoever would sow to the flesh and live after the desires of his fallen nature would be sure to go from bad to worse, and end his career ignobly. Hence we find noble men and noble women amongst the unregenerate, not begotten again of the Holy Spirit, but nevertheless manifesting strong characters and great moderation in the affairs of life. They practise such self-restraints, not toward God, but for self-interest, learning by experience and observation the necessity for this if life would be made a blessing to themselves or to others. Such characters should be, and are, highly respected, honorable. But the unfavorably born, unfavorably envisioned are not so likely to reach noble standards as are the better-born, better-envisioned. Hence those who become Christians of the true type have an advantage every way over others. They do all as unto the Lord. Although they also perceive the advantages coming to them selfsugalong natural lines through self-restraints, they see and appreciate still more the life everlasting beyond and the Divine favor leading thereto. This Message, coming to all who have ears to hear it through the Bible, has a power and gives encouragement to the weak is well as to the strong, to the naturally mean as well as to the nobler. It assures them of Divine mercy and interest in their welfare—that God's love has provided a satisfaction for His justice on behalf of all, so that the merit of Christ, imputed to each according to need, makes it possible to respond to the Gospel Call—onward and upward as New Creatures. So great is the joy, the peace, the happiness, which comes with the realization that we have been accepted into God's family and are joint-heels with His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that nothing else can compare with it. No wonder St. Paul describes such, saying that to them "old things have passed away, and all things have become new!" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Instead of earthly hopes for earthly wealth, name and fame, they have Heavenly hopes for Heavenly riches, glory and honor. Instead of aspirations of but a temporary kind for political preference and honor of men, these have before their minds God's promises—exceeding great; and precious. These assure them that faithfulness in present trials and difficulties, and the proving of their loyalty to God and the principles of His righteousness, will through Christ bring them eventually to glory, honor and immortality—to participation with Jesus in His Millennial Kingdom. With such hopes, such prospects, such promises, life is worth living; all things are indeed new. Those attaining this vantage-ground can, with the Apostle, count all earthly things comparatively valueless. To these, fastings, self-denials, self-restraints, even privations and persecutions, have no terror. They rejoice in these, assured by the Bible that they are signs of their relationship to God, and that He is dealing with them as with sons whom He is educating, fitting, polishing and testing, preparatory to receiving them to the Heavenly glory. This class have a charmed life, regardless of what the world may think. Thelrs is the peace of God which passeth all understanding; for they have the Divine assurance that since they have come into God's family through the appointed Door-way, the Lord Jesus Christ, "All things are theirs, richer to enjoy"; and again that "all things shall work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His Purpose." These realize that God, having begun a good work in them, is both able and willing to perfect it until the Day of Christ. (Philippians 1:0.) These are seeking to make their calling and election sure; and so great is their appreciation and their increasing knowledge that the trials and difficulties by the way—the fastings, self-denials and oppositions of the Adversary—are but light afflictions, not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in them. Even the prayers of this class gradually change. No longer do they think of praying merely for food, ralment and earthly things. Rather, they accept whatever may be God's providence for them with thanksgiving. Their prayers are mostly offerings of praise, mentions of Divine mercies already received, expressions of confidence in God, and requests for more of His Spirit, whatever this may mean in the way of greater trials or difficulties or persecutions; for they desire that the will of God may be completed in them In conclusion, we recommend true fasting, true disciplining, true coercion of the will of the desh, on the part of all men, as necessary for their mental, moral and intellectual maintenance and development. And especially do we commend abstinence, self-denials, restraints, to those who have consecrated their lives to God, to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. But we reprehend all hypocrisy and sham, whether associated with Lent or fasting or any other matter, as being an abomination in the sight of God and discreditable to noble men and women, and particularly inappropriate to those who would follow the Lamb of God—the Savior. SIGHT SUDDENLY COMES TO GIRL PHENOMENON UNEXFLAINED. While Miss Maude Lincoln Was Attending to Household Duties Something Snapped In Right Eye and She Saw—Two Days Later Vision Came to Other Eye In a Similar Manner. Marblehead. Mass.—Slowly recovering from the nervous shock of sight after twenty-one years of blindness. Maude Emerson Lincoln, daughter of William F. Lincoln of this city, is getting her bearings in a strange world of color and motion. Recently the darkness suddenly lifted from her right eye, and then the left eye cleared also, both unexpectedly and without rational explanation, according to specialists who have been questioned on the case. From a condition in which only night and day could be differentiated she suddenly awoke in the sunlit world of which she had heard so much. In an instant one afternoon as she was about household duties this seeming miracle came. With a snap the covering was rent from the right eye as she was putting disfies in the china closet. Two days later, in the evening, as she sat with her parents the other eye was uncovered, and sight was given to it. "I went to the closet to put up some dishes," she said. "Of course, there was no light in the closet and it all looked dark to me. The top of my head did not feel good. It hurt. It was as heavy as—as a load of bricks. That's just the way it felt. I reached up with the dishes. Then suddenly something snapped in my right eye. That is the only way I can describe it—like that." And she snapped her fingers. "Then," she said, "everything seemed all light to me and brightness. I did not know what to make of it. I could not realize what had happened. I looked around the room. I ran and looked out the window. And I could see." "She went out with me the other evening, heavily velled," said Mrs. Lincoln. "We passed a boy leading a man. I said nothing, thinking I would not call her attention to it. "Mother," she said, 'was that boy leading the man?' "Yes," I replied. "Oh, the man is blind? she asked again. And I told her he was. She paused a moment, then said, 'What a pity.'" Miss Lincoln is tall, slender and fair haired. Her eyes are blue, like those of her parents. She had on a gown of deep red, with little black bows on it, and she talked entertainingly and always she laughs with joy at her "miracle." "Maude was born on April 22, 1894," said Mrs. Lincoln. "She was born blind. We did not realize at once that she could not and might never see. Her eyes had the appearance of eyes which have cataract. There seemed to be a thin, white, opaque substance over the pupils. "No one seemed to know what the matter was. But she grew up blind. When she was nine years old we sent her to the Perkins Institute For the Blind, and she was there nine years and received an education. Then we took her home, and she has lived here since, helping me as she could. When she was examined by Dr. F. I, Perkins at the Perkins institute six years ago he told her never to have anything done to her eyes, never to put anything in them, that some day she would see, and he was right." Then Mrs. Lincoln told how sight came to the girl as she went to the closet to put up the dishes. "I actually heard something snap," said Mrs. Lincoln. "She sort of screamed and trembled all over. "She cried, I don't know what alls me, 'but isn't everything light?' I called the family physician at once, and we have kept her in darkness all we could so as to be sure and not have the eyes injured. "She has always been able to tell light from darkness and could find her way around the house, but she has never actually seen." "THE BUCKET" TO BE CHURCH Famed Meeting Place of "Bad Men" In St. Louis to Be Remodeled. St. Louis.—"The Bucket of Blood," one of the most notorious resorts of the middle west, known to "bad men" all over the west for the last half century, has been sold to the Riverside mission and will be remodeled for a church. Twenty-five years ago the "Bucket of Blood" was the Mecca for all of the rough characters that came to St. Louis. A saloon was on the first floor, above that a cheap lodging house, appropriately termed "The Morgue," and above that a dance and gambling hall. Trap doors, secret passageways and sliding panels were used for "getaway" purposes. Two of the most notorious bad men of the river days, Red Eye Dalton and Mickey Mack, were captured in the place after a hard fight in an underground tunnel a quarter of a century ago.
