Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 46 WASHINGTON, J. D. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1915 THE COLORED LAWYER It is the purpose of the Bee to present in a most concise manner the merits and demerits of the colored Lawyers. A great deal has been said for and concerning the colored lawyer, and just why some people dislike to give the credit due them, has been a conjecture to The Bee. This prejudice sentiment against the colored lawyer eminates from a class of colored people known as the colored society. This alleged class is a menace to the legal profession. Many of this class prefer to employ a white undertaker, and even go so far as to say they don't want to be conveyed to the grave-yard by a negro and when it comes to the probate of a will they prefer a white lawyer, no matter whether he has any ability or not. The Bee has the highest respect for the, members of the bar. There are a few that command the respect of everybody. Among the greatest hustlers at the bar is Harry Tignore. He is young and active. He creates a great deal of jealousy by virtue of his hustling proclivities. He is on hand early and if there are any birds to kill he has begged the game before the arrival of the old sage of Anacostia, Attorney Moes. Just how Tignore bags his game so early is a wonder to those who arrive upon the scene in time to greet the corporation's counsel and theAssistant United States Attorney. Tignore doesn't care what you say about him, but he just walks along at a lightning rate and when it is time to quit court, you are liable to find him in Foggy Bottom or Bloodfield. He is always on the go. There are some very quiet lawyers at the bar. Mr. Hurbert whose rooms are in Sixth and D streets, northwest. He is a civil lawyer and a quiet individual. Attorney Hurbert is a young man who attends to his own business. In a quiet way is forging to the front and some day he will shine. Attorney B. B. Horner. He is a progressie as well as quiet attorney. He is a terrible speaker and a good fighter. He is always ready to defend himself against attacks and always prepared to attack whenever his household is invaded. He is a civil lawyer whose offices are in the Steward building at the corner of Sixth and D streets, northwest since the abolition of the Supreme Court of Odd, Fellows. Attoy, W. L. Houston has devoted himself to school matters. He is the legal advisor of the assistant superintendent of schools. He doesn't always agree with his clients, however. Attorney Houston is some hustler. He devotes his time to giving advice on school matters as well as civil matters in the courts. He has a very pleasant disposition and should the Odd Fellows decide to restore the Supreme Court of Odd Fellows, no doubt that Atty. Houston will return to the bench. AUGUSTUS W. GRAY. Now The Bee will conclude this article with its friend Augustus, W. Gray, a native Washingtonian and a young man of ability and activity. Mr. Gray is among the young members of the bar and a man who has a thorough knowledge of insurance. He is authority in this line of business. He is alone in his real estate business and the practice of law He formerly curried with Attorney Royal Hugh, a whole-souled fellow and a good law- yer. Mr Gray also married one of the most accomplished teachers in the public schools and a popular social social factor and church worker. She is a great help to him and as a housewife she is unsurpassed. THE SMART SET. The Great Musical Aggregation at Howard.—Manager Thomas Presents Smart Set and a Royal Reception is Given the Company. The Smart Set Company was royally greeted at the matinee last Monday afternoon with one of Washington's most select audiences. Many were uud jum Suques ouui paijuoddespcess of the stage, Miss Blanche Thompson, who is a favorite with the patrons of Howard theater. Manager Byars announced that Miss Thompson was to ill to appear but that she would appear later during the week. Monday night and during the entire week a royal audience was in attendance at every performance. Monday night every seat in the theater was taken and standing room was at a premium. Mr. Salem Tutt Whitney and Mr. J. Homer Tutt and Miss Blanche Thompson held forth to the satisfaction of those who attended the theater. There were many new songs and many new features, which tended to give the performance a finishing touch. The singing and dancing by these three stars fairly satisfied the audiences. The singing and dancing by Miss Thompson were new and her beautiful carriage and fascinating acting pleased the large audiences that greeted each performance. Many new songs were rendered by Mr. Whitney, especially his new song entitled "I'm Neutral." The new dances by Mr. Tutt, Miss Thompson, Miss Ackers and Mr. Whitney were sensational and most pleasing. "When your country calls to arms" by Miss Ethel Marshall and chorus, "Romona Espanola," Miss Blanche Thompson were most charming. This lady is a most finished artist. Her singing and acting in this number were pleasing. Miss Ackers and Mr. Whitney carried the house by storm in their tango dancing. Miss Ackers' elocution is perfect and her acting is natural. She is a Washington girl and quite a favorite with the people. Tutt's Tudalo dance by Mr. Whitney, Mr. Tutt, Miss Thompson and Miss Ackers, created great applause. Special credit should be given Miss Ethel Marshall, who assumed the character of Carmancita Gomez, in the absence of Miss Thompson at the Monday matinee, who was too ill to appear. With Miss Thompson out of the play is like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet out. Mr. Gransbury Holmes, Mr. O. D. Gardner, politicians at Ginger Springs, showed to a great advantage. The Smart Set Tango was the smartest of this great musical company. The music and lyrics by Messrs. Trevor L. Connell, Whitney and Tutt. The singing and dancing are up-to-date. The Invalid Chorus was one of the pleasing and entertaining features in the company. The ball room scene gave a fine display of the handsome gowns worn by the ladies. They were selected with great taste by Miss Jennie Hillman who is also well-known among the theater goers. Manager Thomas and his assistants are entitled to much praise for their untiring efforts in pleasing the patrons of this up-to-date play house. The orchestra was fine and Mr. Wilson, the leader of the Smart Set Orchestra, is becoming an up-to-date musical director. The great Cake Walk Thursday night was also an entertaining number as well as a surprise to the audience. A three-story cake, made under the direction of the management, was great. Musical Synopsis.

Mt Olive Baptist Church, Sixth street between L and M streets north-cast, was a scene of Easter beauty last Sunday. Every department of the Church was filled with the Easter spirit. The Sunday school at 9:45 was out in full with a great many visitors. The lesson was conducted by the teachers and superintendent. Rev. R. W. Stinnett addressed the School. Miss N. Coleman was awarded a cash prize of two dollars by the pastor for committing to memory the subjects, text, time and place of all the lessons for the quarter just ending. Miss R. W. Lock is in charge of the children's department of the Sunday School and is among the foremost teachers. She is also a teacher in the public school of the city. At 11 o'clock Rev. M. S. Caver, the pastor, preached a very able sermon on the resurrection. His text was Matt. 28:6. "He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. After preaching the pastor baptized. At 3 p. m. was communion, which was administered by the pastor to a crowded house. Everybody enjoyed the services and went away charged with the Spirit. At 8 o'clock the choir and MAJOR RICHARD SYLVESTER. Who retired from office after years of service. Will his successor make the record of his democratic predecessor, Hon. Henry W. West, by appointing a few worthy Colored men on the force? What has become of Tillman's appointment? He stood No. 1 and two white officers have been appointed on the force. Sunday School rendered an Easter program which could not be surpassed. Mt. Olive is moving forward and has one of the best choirs in the city. It is inspiring to hear them sing Zion's songs. Under the leadership of the present pastor of the Church the growth and development of the Church has been wonderful. Every department of the church is alive to its duty. The pastor and officers of the church work together in harmony and every man and women is ready under all circumstances to push forward the work set before them. Sunday, April 11th, at S o'clock there will be a special program rendered under the auspices of the Northeast Forum. Music will be rendered by the Mt. Olive Baptist Church choir under the direction of Mr. Jos. Porter. The Honorable H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representatives, will address the Forum and Mrs. M. E. Caver, wife of the pastor, will recite an original poem. It will be a rare treat to hear Mr. Williams, as he is among the foremost speakers of the day, and Mrs. Caver is an elocutionist of rare ability. Attend the Forum next Sunday. ASBURY M. E. CHURCH On the fourth Sunday, the 28th of March, the first time for more than three-quarters of a century, the doors of that grand historic Asbury M. E. Church were closed, within a few years lacking a century. The door has stood welcoming and quenching the thirsty souls seeking for Christ. The street cars have been the means of hundreds of worshipers being brought to this grand historic site. The beats, were not made vacant. The thronging admiries who have been so accustomed to making the same journey, were for the first time for more than three score year and ten, diverted to another course leading to substitute quarters where the spiritual food of the same was provided. The choir that has held the banner second to none in the District, blending their voices spell-binding every audience before it has appeared, attracted the attention of the entire audience. The day was really beautiful. Every one felt well paid for having been present, but not forgetting that grand and historic site where the welcoming gates have stood wide open fronting that great edifice which is known as "Asbury Grand M. E. Church." Here the hearts of many have been saddened by the funerals that have been held; here the hearts of many souls have rejoiced at the number of converts brought to Christ; here the many spiritual and inspiring sermons have been preached. God bless the Church. May it be a memorial and also a monument to the members who are here and those who have gone to their reward and we in the days to come. LAYING OF CORNER STONE. Ceremony at Site of Colored Baptist Old Folks' Home. Baptist ministers of this city met on Bryant street between 2d and 3d streets northwest at 3.30 o'clock p. m. and laid the cornerstone of the new Stoddard Baptist Old Folks' Home, which is nearing completion. It is a two-story brick structure with thirty rooms. The following persons occupied seats on the platform and made addresses: Revs. Aquilla Sayles, W. I. Howard, J. I. Loving, W. H. Brooks, W. A. Taylor, J. H. Randolph, J. T. Clarke and J. W. Lewis and Jabez Lee and Finley Wilson, Mrs. Annie Glover, Mrs. J. M. Layton and Mrs. Rosetta Lawson. At the close of the exercises ministers and laymen were served with an informal luncheon at the present temporary quarters of the home, 1212 S street, northwest, by Mrs. M. C. B. Robinson, assisted by Miss Ethel A. Robinson and Miss L. P. Pendleton. The Caucus Called Off.-Chairman Blair to the Rescue.-Dr. Lucy Moten Will not be Disturbed.-The Embarrassed Principal Supported by the People.-Mr. Larner to be Reappointed. The caucus that was called to meet last Tuesday evening for the purpose of discussing the recommendations of Rosco C. Bruce, the assistant superintendent of schools, relative to wholesale transfers has been called off. Also a meeting of the Board of Education which was to have been held Wednesday has also been called off. The anti-Moten combination has been defeated and the plan to displace Dr. Lucy Moten is buried in the deep. Chairman Blair and other friends of the school system refused to be a party to the wholesale charges to satisfy the pique, of those who have been for a long time fighting the principal of the Normal School. The coming investigation of the Colored schools will show a deplorable condition. Mr. Larner, who has made every effort to uphold the dignity of the Colored schools, will be supported. Chairman Blair refused to be a party to the outrages. J. W. Cromwell who was booked for perpetual retirement will not be removed. SONG SERVICE. Metropolitan A. M. E. Church senior choir assisted by several of the S. Coleridge Taylor Choral Society members. under the able directorship of Dr. John T. Layton, assistant director of music in our schools, as chorister of the choir, gave Washington a musical treat of rare excellence on Easter Sunday night in the rendition of "The Atonement," a sacred cantata by S. Coleridge Taylor. The soloists were Miss Helen Adams, soprano; Miss Lottie Wallace, contralto; Miss Virginia Williams, mezzo-soprano; Mr. James B. Lomack, tenor, and Mr. J. Turner Layton, Jr., baritone. Mrs. Layton came in from New York Sunday morning and left on the 12:10 train Sunday night. Miss Adams sang with great expression and her conception of her part was most satisfactory. She has a fine voice and gave evidence of culture and discipline. Miss Wallace and Miss Williams were both splendid. They each have excellent voices, splendid control and show culture and talent. These ladies are in the music department of our schools. Miss Williams has had special training at the Boston Conservatory. Miss Adams spent years abroad, singing and engaged in charity work. She is now at "The Center" doing excellent work. The baritone solos as interpreted by Mr. J. Turner Layton were excellently rendered. He has a remarkable baritone voice. It is full, rich and resonant; his rendition was a BRUCE DEFEATED. SONG SERVICE. Mr. James B. Lomack was fine in his interpretation of the tenor role of work. He sang with intelligence and understanding. The choruses were well rendered and gave evidence of talent and splendid training. Dr. John T. Layton, director, as "In Days of Old." The church was packed to its utmost. Many representatives and music loving people availed themselves of this rare treat. It is said that between three and four hundred people had to be turned away. Many requests have come in for another rendition. Prof. William Broxton was at his best at the organ. Dr. C. H. Stephens, the splendid and eloquent pastor, seemed delighted and extended thanks to the choir and to the splendid audience. OUR OLD FRIEND.

Haynes of Fisk University; Dead B. C. Brawley, representing Morehouse College. Dr. Haynes lectured to the class in Economics while on the campus.

Jonas, of Mexico, Tuesday Night, April 13, 1915. Senor Jonas was here three weeks ago and there was such a clamor for his return that the Society gave the 13th. He will give Illustrated lectures. The information in his grasp is wonderful. Every Negro American should hear him. April 20. High School night. April 27, Reverend Reverdy C. Ransome of New York. Hon. H. Martin Williams to Speak. Honorable H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representatives, will address the Northeast Forum Sunday, April 11, at 8 p.m. The Forum is an organization which holds its meetings every Sunday evening at the Mt. Olive Baptist church, Sixth street between L and M streets, northeast. Rev. Monroe S. Caver, pastor. A special musical program has been arranged by the Mt. Olive church choir, and Mrs. M. E. Caver, the pastor's wife, will recite an original poem, "Woman." The meeting is open to the public and all are invited. DR. J. W. MOSS. The old reliable and up-to-date druggist, 1904 L street. Prescriptions carefully compounded by expert pharmacist. The exercises of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association were held in the Auditorium of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church at the regular meeting last Tuesday. The first speaker was C. W. Frisbie, of the Howard University branch of the Y. M. C. A., on the subject of "Temperance." He made a forceful and eloquent plea for National Prohibition. The President of the University branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, W. H. Foster, read a paper on "Race Prejudice." He said that through this evil the South was robbed of the industry and talents of a very large number of its people, who sought communities where their rights would be respected. Other results were illiteracy, mob violence, peonage. The speaker of the evening was Dean Kelly Miller. His subject was "As to the Collateral Advantages of a Great University." He said, in part, that the main purpose of a university was to inculcate the branches of learning through a curriculum of study adopted to the time and capacities of the pupils involved. Special talent was developed through the Literary, the Debating, the Dramatic, and the Athletic Associations. One of the chief advantages of a University course is the development of the social side of nature. A boy or girl has missed a greater part of education if this side has not been developed. We must look to the educated for leadership. We need leaders for the temperance movement. Such must be made in the school or the college. Leaders for securing our political rights will come through the college branch of N. A. A. C. P. Leaders who must present the cause of this race before the world by the writing of books, magazines, tracts, papers, thereby moulding public opinion. We shall gain when we can direct, influence, and control public opinion. The college man has the advantage of the others in the community, but he must be aware of self-aggrandizement and self-gratification. His highest aim should be to help others. He must be a missionary of health, and not a mercenary, of wealth. Mr. M. C. Maxfield-delivered the best speech of the evening. He was pointed and eloquent. The Rev. A. Williams, President of the Ferguson and Williams College, Abbeville, S. C., was among the speakers who discussed the paper. He said we were facing more serious problems than ever our forefathers saw. That we need to wake up and look out for our interests. Musical selections were rendered by Prof. Braxton, also by students from Howard University. Miss Madre presided. The Dunbar Laundry On April 12, the Dunbar Laundry will open for business with offices in Haitian's Toggery Shop, 1848 Seventh street northwest. As this laundry is operated by Colored men they are appealing to the people of the District for patronage; all work first class, prices right and service quick. Hand and steam work. Lettered wagon service to all parts of the city. No bundle too large or too small; work called for and delivered. See our price list. Collars and cuffs 2c each. (Office work.) Give this laundry a trial; send postal or phone North 5421. Our motto. "Good Work. Quick Service." Guest of Federation of Clubs. A special invitation was extended Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, secretary of Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, to be present at New Elbitt, white parlor Saturday night, S o'clock. She accepted and was present. Mrs. Ellis Logan, the president, gave her a royal welcome. Mrs. Layton is virtually a member of this federation by virtue of being a director of the Aid Association for the Blind, which is one of the strongest clubs in the city federation. The special object of this enthuslastic meeting was the the petition the school board to repeal Rule 45, thereby allowing teachers who so desire to teach after being married. Some very stirring speeches were made against the law as it now stands. A unanimous vote of the federation was cast for its repeal. An invitation was offered Mrs. Layton to speak, but she declined. A cordial invitation was extended to her to meet with often. A Hell of a Come Off. Some time ago a Negro man sued a white man in Granville county for alienating the affections of his wife and the jury gave the Negro a verdict for $8,000. Don't get excited. A similar case is ending in this county right now, but it is understood to be in a fair way to be compromised and the names have not been divulged, though the complaint is on file in the clerk's office.—Greensboro Record. BOSTON BARGAIN HOUSE Do you want the best stationery in of every description? Go to the Boston Bargain House, 627 F St., N. W. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac). Talk about monologue artists and commedians, and manufacturers of humor, this sunburnt race of mine has got all the world beat. I was getting a shave the other day, in one of our palace barber shops—question mark properly goes after palace—and while being nicked and cut by the tonsorial artists, I heard a bunch of chocolates indulging in talk that ran all the way from Billy Sunday to Jack Johnson, and then across to the world war, winding up on the school question. I just jotted down in my think emporium a few of the sayings I heard these brown, very dark brown, complexioned individuals—get off. And here goes some of them at random: "It's a ten to one shot that when a girl's dad weigh 250 pounds, and her mother tips the beam around in the same neighborhood, that girl aint going to throw away much money on excelsior and bust developer." When the chocolate got that off I laughed so that the barber clipped a quarter of an inch from my chin. And one fellow got this off: "My old man will spend a whole evening with the bar rall polishers and nose paint destroyers, and then get up in the morning and complain about overwork just killing his health." "The reason you didn't see both my wife and darter at church last Sunday, Deacon, is I reckon there weren't nuff hair in the house for 'em both to wear," said one fellow, and then there sure was some laughing. "Don't tell me nothing 'but these darks contributing to nuthin'," said a droll old fellow in the dark part of the shop. "These here coffee-colored bables of ourn will fasten two big brass earrings in the ears, hang about two pounds of copper chain and a string of glass pearls around their necks, slip four or five big bracelets on their arms, and about six orelled rings on their fingers, then they will go to church and give a plugged nickel for missionary work." One wag, a good friend of Lovett's, remarked that he saw where the women to be in fashion would wear less this summer than heretofore, whereupon a barber shop seat-warmer remarked: "Well, about all women wear now is a hair pin, a pair of sandals, and a smile. Now, what are they going to leave off—the sandals, the hairpin, or the smile?" I have often thought that if a humorist would just spend about two days hanging around a chocolate barbershop, he would get all the points he needed for a bang-up volume on humor, and these comedians would get all they need to make a comedy what would be a scream. Strolling over You Street last Sunday, I saw a chicken, one of them what had been left in the oven until she could pass for Colored, just killing it in her Easter duds. I stood and looked at her, and thought to myself. These white folks are worrying about the war, worrying about hard times, and "sich" like, but these people of mine just go right along and dig up Hecht's clothes on a three dollar a week salary, and had old Miss Worry a ticket of leave. Sure it is, my folks are chucked full of care-bereft stuff, and smile just the same when coal is $7.50 per ton as they do when the thermometer registers 95 in the shade and there aint no need for coal. I guess if it wasn't for that lightheartedness what God shoved into my people, about half of them would be suicides, the way white folks continue to hamper and back us back. But we just keep on buying high priced clothes at a dollar down and one dollar a week, and just keep on eating the best meat the market affords, and standing the grocer off for the pay. We sure have got this "don't worry" business down to a fine point; and God bless you, its a good thing we have, 'cause if we didn't have, as hard as old Vardaman and Hoke has been with us we'd all be either suicides or bomb-throwers. Well, after all, I'd rather smile than throw bombs, 'cause they never send nobody to prison for smiling, but occasionally they hock a fellow for bomb-throwing. If ever a pair of fellows deserved a couple of life-size chromas, a Carnegie medal, and a fair-sized Spingarn medal, that pair of staticians, Bob Pelham and Charley Hall. The work they have done in the Census Office getting out statistics to help us cookies know just where we are, and just where we will be if we keep on going, deserves to be honored. I'm one that will chip in two whole dollars for a banquet for them in recognition of the service they have rendered the race, and I know my old friend and fellow-citizen and dopester, Richard Win Thompson, will second the motion; and if Dick and I both agree to push it in the press, there just aint nothing more to it. What do you all say to the suggestion that we folk around here dig up about $2 each and prepare a little banquet for Bob Pelham and Charley Hall? They sure have earned it, for the work they have done in digging out enlightening statistics respecting this sunday race of ours is away ahead of all the achievements hung up on the Progress board around here in twenty years. Let's get a wiggle on ourselves and give these two boys a real fine send-off. You can just put me down for $2 to start, and if you need more, why call on Kelly Miller, Tom Jones, Cook George, and the rest of our race-loving equines for the rest. Now real serious, I do think that Bob Pelham and Charley Hall have rendered the race a distinct service, and should be honored for it. The stingy Government won't give 'em more than $1,200 per year, but we can at least show our appreciation by giving them a grape juice banquet, Dr. Sam Wormley says you can put him down to head the list. Doc. is soine real game sport—always there with the show-dow when it comes to pushing a good thing along—male or female. OPEN LETTER TO THE JUDGES. April 5. 1915 To the Hon., the Justices of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia: I feel confident that you would very much prefer not to be bothered with the public school guess tion, but since you must under the law, you must take into consideration men and women to be appointed on the Board of Education, permit me to make a few kindly suggestions. Almost every crook in this city will be presented to you for the Board of Education. I am speaking particularly of the Colored applicants, because you will have your hands full to take care of the whites. I am addressing this open letter to the entire body through you, Mr. Chief Justice Covington, knowing as I do, your determination to place good and clean men on the Board of Education. You will be called upon to consider at least two dozen names. I would suggest that you disregard all doctors and stay clean of the preachers. No preacher has ever made a successful member of the Board of Education. I shall give you my private opinion against the appointment of a physician on the Board of Education and give you such information that has come to me. You will not even consider the application of the physicians that may be presented to your honorable body. Don't understand me to mean that the preachers are morally unfit, not that. Denominational jealousies are hard to be corrected if a minister or a professor of any educational institution should be appointed on the Board of Education. Certain names will be presented to you, a history of which I shall make it my business to present to you, because their rejection by you would be doing the public a service. The task that you will have in the selection of Colored members of the Board of Education will be an arduous one. I feel confident that Mr. Justice Gould and Mr. Justice Siddons are better acquainted with the Colored population and the proper persons to be selected than any two members of your honorable body. I don't mean that you are incapable of selecting the proper men, but I mean that the two-named have a wider acquaintance with the Colored people in this city and are better qualified to select the proper persons. I would suggest that no Howard University professor or member of its faculty should be appointed on the Board of Education of the Colored schools. The tendency is now to establish a Negro aristocracy in our schools to the detriment of the manners. The attempt to draw the color line in the Colored schools is very prevalent. This racial question and color line have been the ruination of the Colored public school system and the sooner you suggest to Congress the transfer of the schools to the commissioners of the District of Columbia, or give your honorable body the power to remove or revocation of the acts of the Board of Education, the better it will be for the schools. THE EDITOR RALPH W. TYLER. *Threatens to Invoke the Civil Rights Law.—The Great Journalist Orders Down Segregation Signs. Columbus, O.—Prejudice is on the increase in this city. A motion picture theater on E. Long street recently hung out a sign reading "First Five Rows in the Rear Reserved for Colored Patrons." Ralph W. Tyler, on learning it, went out and saw the sign, then called up the chief of police, over the 'phone, and demanded that he cause the sign to be removed, claiming it was an insult to 15,000 colored citizens, and stated if the authorities did not remove the sign instanter he would tear it down if he had to go to fall for it. The sign was removed. If that theater discriminates, as indicated, our people here will bring suit against its management under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights' Law. A western horseman tells of a jockey at Windsor, across the line from Detroit who recently disposed. "If I don't get rid of this cold soon," said the youngster, "I'll be a dead one." "Didn't you see Dr. Spinks as I told you?" asked the friend, "No, the sign on his door said '10 to 1' and I wasn't going to monkey with a long shot like that." They had just been married and were about to start on their wedding trip. As is the custom with bridegrooms, he was embarrassed to the point of forgetfulness, but he met the situation like an expert. "Why, dear, you bought only one ticket," said the bride. "Just like me, dear," said the groom. "always forgetting myself." Porto Rico has the smallest street car in existence. It is drawn by one horse, and has accommodation for only three passengers. The finest automobile race course in the world is, perhaps, found at Saldino, Utah. There the roads are 65 miles long, 8 miles wide and formed of natural salt. The salt is crystallized, 98 per cent pure, and white as snow. A very thin man was followed closely by a dog. He called a small boy, and asked him why the dog followed him. "I don't know, mister, unless he takes you for a bone," he answered. New Head of Atlanta Prison Outlaws Lash and Dungeon. Atlanta, Ga.—Prison dungeons and cat-o'nine-tails treatment will be outlawed by the new warden of the federal prison here. Fred Zerbst, ex-deputy warden of the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., who took charge April 1. Mr. Zerbst said that all of the federal prisons had abolished the old time corrective methods and that his policy would be to win over the prisoners through kind treatment. "The best way to treat these men is to appeal to their manhood and sense of right," he declared. "The whipping post and the 'black hole' are relics of the past. The new plan calls for close confinement as the usual punishment for infraction of rules, and I feel sure this will accomplish more than any other method." In his trip through the prison Mr. Zerbst kept his eye open for the "dungeon" which Julian Hawthorne and other prisoners described, but he declared after his first tour that he had failed to locate it. Warden Moyer, whose position Mr. Zerbst takes, has maintained all along that there was no such place, and he has challenged his foes to find it. INVENTS PERISCOPE GUN. Philadelphia Man Has Newest Offensive and Defensive Weapon Philadelphia. The periscope gun is the newest offensive and defensive weapon brought forth by the modern trench war. Jones Wister of this city has invented a rifle with curved barrel and periscope attached, by the use of which a goldler may remain securely hidden in his trench and yet observe every movement of the enemy and continue firing at will. The inventor is well known socially and as a sportsman. He is thoroughly acquainted with firearms and ever since the war started has been experimenting with his periscope gun. After many trials he finally bent the portion of a rifle barrel at an angle of 45 degrees and soldered it to the end of an ordinary army rifle. Two toy mirrors are then attached to the gun. The upper mirror is on a level with the curved end of the barrel. Mr. Wister declares that he can alm perfectly, with this contrivance. The process consists in getting a reflection of the object aimed at in the center of the lower mirror, on a level with the markman's eye. Then, he says. It is almost impossible to miss. GEORGIA MOONSHINER ON HIS WAY TO JAIL Pleads Guilty Each Year, but Allowed to Make a Crop. Savannah, Ga. The time is at hand for the annual pilgrimage of the Georgia moonshiner. Today he is up in the hills, tomorrow he will be tried and sentenced, the day after he will be planting his crop in the hills again, the next, setting out for the county jail to serve his sentence. "Bout time for cot, M'rla," he will say to his wife. "Guess I'll be umbilb. Don't forget to git out them plowshares, an' if any revenues come aroun' keep 'em off the trail to the still." No deputy manacles his wrists; no prison guard comes for him. But the old man has received the summons of the United States court to appear and answer to a charge of violating the federal law against the illicit manufacture and sale of liquor. And so the old man shoulders his gun and sets out from his cabin in the hills and tramps down the mountain-side to the railroad station twenty miles away. Next week he gets up before Judge William T. Newman of Atlanta or Judge Emory Speer of Savannah and pleads guilty. "Six months," says the judge. Six months, says the judge. The old man sighs and remarks, "I'd like mighty well ter go back an' make a crap, judge." The judge knows that up in the hills the old woman and the old man's family of sturdy mountain lads and lassles are dependent on the "crap" for a living through next winter. So he says, "Go back and make your crop and report to the jail on Sept. 1." The old man strides to the railroad station, catches the first train for home and tramps the twenty miles up into the hills again. Winter will be breaking in the hills, and for weeks to come he will be busy planting the crop of corn. Day after day he will clamber up the rugged path, hitch the gray mule to the plow and turn the furrows of his little patch. One day he looks into the almanac and says to his wife: "Me an the boys are off to jail 'ter-morrow." The next day he swings down the trail to the railroad station twenty miles away. As his head drops below the brink of the path he calls back: "See yer in ther spring, of woman!" And the next week he is-swapping cut plug with the deputy at the fall, having reported to the turnkey's office, alone and unofficed. And next spring? Why, he will be back in the hills again, making his "crap" and manufacturing moonshine on the side.

Officials at Work Devising New Taxation System—Both "Wets" and "Drys" Use Figures as Arguments. Washington.—The increase in prohibition territory and in the number of local option zones has caused a reduction this year of $2,000,000 in the federal government's income from taxes on alcoholic beverages. Nine states are to adopt prohibition next year, and officials say that the situation soon may cause the federal government to revamp its taxation laws and devise a new system of taxation to take the place of the diminishing returns from liquor sources. The belief exists that the 30 per cent of the government's income from the tax on alcoholic liquors will be reduced to 25 per cent in the next two years, due to the spread and the enforcement of prohibition and local option laws. The problem, which involves a radical change in the system of taxation, in existence practically since the foundation of the government itself, is being studied by students of legislation. In the opinion of legislators it is necessary to approach the question with great care and find means of raising money for the federal government in place of the lost internal revenue income without placing the burden directly on the people. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Peters in discussing the situation said: "The revenues from whiskey and alcoholic beverages have shrunk considerably over $2,000,000 a year, and this unquestionably is due to the spread of PETER H. The government revenues from customs last year were $222,320,014.51, while the taxes on distilled spirits and fermented liquors amounted to $226,356,314.74. When the Holston resolution, proposing a constitutional amendment for nation wide prohibition, was under discussion in the house of representatives at the last session of congress the liquor interests held particular stress on the amount of money that would be lost to the federal government if the tax on liquors was eliminated. Secretary of State Bryan is authority for the statement that about $2,000,000, or approximately $500,000, would be paid annually in the United States for liquor. Treasury officials say this enormous drink bill is driving up rapidly. The largest liquor producer states, with their approximate contributions to the federal treasury, are as follows: Hiltonis, $72,500,000; Kentucky, $11, 870,000; Indiana, $28,100,000; New York $24,500,000; Pennsylvania, $17,200,000; Ohio, $15,700,000; Wisconsin, $8,200, 000; California, $17,900,000; Maryland, $5,200,000; Missouri, $5,100,000; Massachusetts, $1,500,000; Louisiana, $3,700, 000; Michigan, $2,500,000; New Jersey $3,500,000; New York, $2,500,000; Virginia, $2,000,000; TO PARDON ALL DERELICTS. Many Old inmates of Georgia Prisons to Be Released. Atlanta, Ga.—One of the last official acts of Governor John M. Slaton, who will be succeeded this spring by Governor Nat E. Harris, will be the pardoning of some hundreds of Georgia's forgotten prisoners, who have been in prison so long that about all their friends and kindred have died. The governor recently visited the state farm at Milledgeville to learn something about these human derelicts. As they approached one by one to lay their petitions before the governor they seemed very weary. The governor found convicts who had been imprisoned for twenty-five years or more, learned that their friends were dead, that nobody remains to bring their petitions before the pardoning board; that in fact they are human beings utterly forgotten. He talked with them and then had details of their lives prepared, and now he is considering their petitions. "Those who I think deserve parole," the governor says, "have expiated fully any crime they have done. While I am opposed to maudlin sentiment in parolling prisoners, I found at the prison, men who have lived without complaint or violation of the rules for twenty-five years or more. They are exhausted, worn out old people after half a lifetime in prison. They almost have forgotten what it is to have liberty. They are listless, and their faces have lost animation. They simply are very tired. I think consid eration might well be shown for them." MISSING LINK HORSE FOUND. Discovery of Three Toed Fossil Reported to Scientists. Berkeley, Cal.-The missing link in the evolution of the horse has been discovered in the miocene strata of the southern Sierra Nevadas, it was reported to the Pacific coast division of the Paleontological Society of America in convention here. The fossil form discovered by J. P. Buwalda of the University of California is that of a three toed horse of the merychippus type, said to have been long sought by scientists to fill the gap in the history of the horse. It is said the fossil fits precisely the description of the hypothetical animals which scientists have maintained must have existed in horse history. President Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History in New York said that fossils of the merychipus of the mlocene period had been found in the western Dakotas and Nebraska, but not before in California. "NEVER AGAIN," SAYS YANKEE, EX-SOLDIER New York. — "Never again!" This was the whole souled utterance of Rutledge F. Gardner of Baltimore, a seven foot (almost) passenger who went to England in December and enlisted in King Edward's horse and went to France with his regiment. He returned with much experience and a wrist watch. This is his chronicle: "We were sent to France in February, where we mounted at Calals and rode to Neuve Chapelle. There we spent a lot of time in holes in the ground, shooting at an unseen enemy and being shot at ad lib. "As I was a pretty big man I was often detailed as a 'creeper.' They're quite an institution in the service now. The duty of the 'creeper' is to sneak toward the German lines at night to locate snipers. The way you locate them is by letting them fire at you. You catch the flash of the rifle, see. Then your side fires at the flashes. It's quite a game, believe me! "A trench fell in on me, and I was sent back to England and there discharged. "The Americans fighting with the English are not very popular. They are called Yanks and come in for a lot of spoiling. In my regiment there wasn't much future." EAT, DRINK, SING FOR PEACE Milwaukee Thirty-niners Organize For = Wid fellowship. Madison, WI.—"To promote the use of the stein, the soothing weed and the story; to induce bolsterous laughter and to use such nicknames, terms of affection, handchaps and caresses as will promote good feeling" are some of the purposes of the Society of Thirty-niners. Milwaukee, which has asked permission to incorporate. Whether this organization can be sanctioned by the state is being considered. Another aim of the society is "to calm the rising title of warfare which may be raging in our breasts by smoking the pipe of peace and smiling watch our troubles float away." Souvénirs Are Valuable. London.—Pieces of German shells dropped in December rails at West Hartlepool are so valuable as souvenirs a bricklayer and a real estate agent had a lawsuit over a fragment weighing forty-seven pounds. They value it at $2 a pound. The bricklayer claimed it because he saw it first. the other man because it hit the house of a client and the latter got it. DAVID ANOINTED KING A Man After God's Own Heart—Another Phase of Samuel's Character. Samuel Sent to Bethlehem—Anointing the Successors of Present Institutions—David a Type of the Church. Divine Method of Selection of Elect. "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart."—I Sam. 167. KING SAUL'S rejection by the Lord meant not only his ultimate removal from the throne, but that his sons should not succeed him in it, and that the Lord would select another man for the office. The Divine choice was David, to whom the Prophet Samuel had indirectly referred, saying, "The Lord hath sought Him a man after His own heart."—1 Samuel 13:14. At the time of today's Study, David was about twenty years old. His great-grandmother was the gentle Ruth, who had gleaned grain in probably the very field with which David was familiar. His great-grandfather was Boaz, a page of whose history is recorded in the Book of Ruth. Like Boaz, David's father Jesse was doubtless one of the Elders of Bethlehem, respected and honored as a noble man. Of his mother we know little, except that David twice men- was Boaz, a page of whose history is recorded in the Book of Ruth. Like Boaz, David's father Jesse was doubtless one of the Elders of Bethlehem, respected and honored as a noble man. Of his mother we know little, except that David twice mentioned her as a handmaid of God. The Prophet Samuel mourned for King Saul, apparently disappointed that he should be rejected. Quite probably forebodings of a civil war perturbed the Prophet's mind. He knew that Saul would not quietly lay down the scepter which he had taken up so modestly, in obedience to the Divine arrangement. Samuel should have had greater trust in God's Wisdom and Power, but his trouble was more or less like that which assails the Lord's people even today. When sent to anoint David, the Prophet did not hesitate to perform the Lord's bidding, but he intimated that he clearly understood that King Saul would kill him as a traitor if he should anoint a successor to the kingdom. The Lord assured him that the matter would not be made known at once, and directed him to go to Bethlehem and make a sacrifice there, and to improve the opportunity of finding and anointing the one who in due time would become king. God's Choice of King. Our Study begins at the point when the Prophet arrived at Bethlehem. Thinking that his presence signified some sigh on their part or on that of their fellow-citizens, the Elders inquired whether he came peaceably or not—whether his presence meant a blessing or the infliction of a penalty. Their fears were allayed when they heard that his mission was to offer a sacrifice to the Lord. Some time before this, the Ark of the Covenant had been captured by the Philistines. The Tabernacle services, thus discontinued, had not yet been reestablished; consequently this sacrificing was performed by the Lord's especially appointed servant. The command for the people of Bethlehem to sanctify themselves if they would participate in the blessings of the sacrifice signified that they should bathe, put on clean clothes and draw nigh to the Lord with all their hearts. Thus typically they represented that justification and sanctification which the Church of the Gospel Age has enjoined. The Prophet seems to have taken supervision of Jesse's family to the intent that he might without public display find and anoint the man whom the Lord had chosen. Jesse introduced his sons to the Prophet in the order of their birth—his eldest first. Ellab was of fine appearance, and the Prophet assumed that he was the Lord's choice. But the Lord was looking on the heart, and had already selected David, although being under age, his father had not thought it worth while to call him to the feast. As one after another of Jesse's sons appeared, the Prophet found not him whom the Lord's Spirit indicated as the one to be anointed. Then he inquired, "Are all thy children here?" Jesse suddenly remembered that his youngest boy was in the field and sent for him. The Antitypical Lord's Anointed. Our Golden Text appeals to all Christians, in connection with the High Calling of the Gospel Age. As the Lord's messengers we, too, are seeking for these to be anointed with the oil of gladness, the Holy Spirit, that they may be kings and priests in the Messianic Kingdom. Like the Prophet Samuel, we might feel afraid to anoint the successors of present in stitutions, did we not realize that the sealing of the Lord's Elect, now in progress, is a secret work, which none can understand except those who have it. 5 The name David signifies Beloved; and as it applied especially to our Lord, of whom Je- especially to our David Anointed King. Lord, of whom Johann said, "This is My beloved Son, so also it applies to all the members His Body, each of whom must be loved, else he cannot be acceptable a member. Of such the Head say "The Father Himself loveth you"; an again. "Love one another, as I haw loved you." All who receive this anointing of the Lord must ultimately be of this beloved character.

They have no faith in anyone and but little in itself. The big Colored men who have died within the last five years have always stipulated in their wills or make a request before they die, that they want to be buried by a white undertaker. The Colored aristocracy of this city, that is the alleged shams in society, would have the world to believe that they are the social representatives of Washington Colored society. The Bee is preparing a true history of the shams of Washington and what they stand for. The shams who now would arrogate to themselves Washington and citizens are the social outcasts of other cities and "bunco players" of a discarded age. It must not be believed that officeholders are the real its of. Washington because many of them are financial paupers. These social outcasts from other cities don't believe in the Colored lawyer, the Colored doctor or anything that has the tint of color. There is now an effort to place them in some of the most prominent places in this city and if they were at their own homes they could not be entitled to a chimney sweep. The citizens of Washington stand very much in their own light by stepping aside and allowing these social flankies to take the lead. There are a few churches in this city that have some sense. Many of the ministers don't allow themselves to be influenced in giving these social outcasts a character. The Baptists and the Methodists and Congregationalists are very careful. They are not controlled by sentiment. The Bee could a tale unfold that would make the "hair" of some of these individuals stand up on ends, like the quills upon a poreupine. The people should open their eyes and keep them open. What does this association for the advancement of Colored people amount to in this community Hundreds of dollars are collected from the teachers in our public schools and sent to New York. Who is this that imposes a tax upon the teachers? By whose authority and directions are these communications sent out? What has this association done for the Colored citizens of Washington? If some one will point out just what it has done in correcting the wrongs imposed upon the people, The Bee will say, amen. Just what the people in this city are thinking about, The Bee would like to know. Take a snapshot of some of these social functions and ask The Bee for a history of each individual. But wait for The Bee's forthcoming brief of this alleged sham aristocracy. RULE 45. The question has been; and is now, will it be wise to repeal Rule 45, permitting married women to teach in the public schools. The Bee desires to advance the argument that was made to it by a former member of the board of education and see whether the repeal of said rule will be a benefit or disastrous to the schools in this city. There are nine school months in a year. Suppose every teacher, or two-thirds of the corps of teachers are married and those two-thirds took sick, they would be out of school six months at the least. Certainly their condition would be embarrassing after the third month to the pupils as well as to the teachers themselves. They would have to hire a nurse the three months after their return to school and what would be their physical condition? It will tend to support a lot of lazy men to walk the streets while the teachers would be struggling for a livelihood. This same distinguished editor remarked to The Bee that when he was a member of the board of education he was visited by a young teacher and the young man she wanted to marry and asked the board member if she could marry and retain her school. She was asked how much salary they were getting? The girl remarked that she was caring a thousand dollars a year and the young man twelve hundred. How much have you both saved? Neither had saved a penny. If you have saved nothing while you are single, how can you save if you marry? To repeal Rule 45 the public schools would be a hospital for the convenience of those men who receive a small salary. Then again, young girls who graduate from our normal schools who may be entitled to appointments would be barred forever and eternally. Young ladies who are ambitious to teach would readily conclude that it would be useless to prepare themselves for a normal course because the places would be monopolized by married teachers and the best they could get would be substitute work in the event of sickness. If a man thinks enough of a woman to marry her he certainly ought to provide a home for her and teach her how to be a good housewife. What reward will the normal school graduate receive after her graduation? What compensation will the poor mother receive after she has struggled for years to educate her daughters with the hope that some day she will become a teacher to assist her in her declining years. Under the circumstances, ought Rule 45 be repealed? BRAKERS AHEAD. Never before in the history of the Colored schools of this city are conditions more disastrous than they are now. Knowing as he does, that the unanimous opinion of the people in this city is that a change in the administration of the colored schools should be made the present Superintendent. Dr. Thurston seems to be diliatory in meeting the demands of the people. It is not that he has not informed himself; but that the pupils as well as teachers are suffering. What, then is the delay? Must Congress undergo the task? Must an appeal be made to Congress that the colored schools are in need of a new head? The present Board of Education is hopelessly divided. It is so much divided until the teachers as well as the pupils are suffering. The great fight is centered in the Normal school. A recent caucus was held Tuesday night and among the many serious propositions that were discussed were: First: The communication of Roscoe C. Bruce to Superintendent Thurston against Dr. Lucy Moten, principal of Normal school No. 2, and Miss Moten's reply. Dr. Moten answered every allegation made against her by Bruce. Miss Moten's reply is sensational, pointed and concise. 2nd: The perpetual retirement of John W. Cornwell and the transfer of Jean Wormley to the Ivy City school, vice J. W. Cromwell, and the transfer of Miss Moten to the place made vacant by Miss Wormley. Miss Moten is to be the assistant to Emma Merritt. Miss Hunter and Mary Dickerson to be transferred from Normal school No. 2 and Miss Kirkland, daughter of May Garnett, to succeed Dr. Moten. These were the questions said to be considered in caucus last Tuesday night. The opposition to J. W. Cromwell is said dates back several years and that against Dr. Moten also. Only a Congressional investigation will settle this negro school question. The Board of Education stands 4 to 4 with Chairman Blair in doubt. If Mrs. Kerns votes with the Bruce combination, the slate will be carried out. If Miss Kirkland is placed in the Normal school the greatest sensation that has ever taken place in the public schools of Washington will be created. Congress would be compelled to set aside the action of the Board because the people would not tolerate these changes. The transfer of Misses Hunter, Dickerson and Wormley from the Normal School, and The Bee may say the transfer of Jennifer also would simplify conditions. LATER. The caucus was called off and all meetings postponed until April 16th. But, this Caucus was to have been held Tuesday night, prior to the meeting of the board Wednesday, April 7th. NEGROES AND DEMOGRACY It is true that the southern Democrats, with but a few exceptions, are imminal to Colored Americans. It is also true that many northern Democrats voted in the Senate and the House of Representatives against the passage of a "Jim Crow" car bill and other obnoxious laws that were aimed at the Colored Americans. It is the duty of the Colored voters in the Districts in which these Democrats live to vote for men who refused to follow the southern Democracy to vote against the interests of Colored Americans. The Colored voters must throw away sentiment and support men and measures that will tend to elevate them and advance their interests. Senator Chilton, of West Virginia, although a Democrat, was one man in whom the Colored voters can confide and support. Not only did he vote against all measures aimed at the degradation of the Colored Americans, but he worked to defeat them and did succeed in their defeat. The Colored voters of West Virginia and of the country owe him a debt of gratitude and when the opportunity presents itself they should show their gratitude. There is not a more loyal man in the Senate than Senator Chilton; there is not a more conscientious statesman and it is the hope of The Bee that every Colored voter in the State of West Virginia will cast his vote for his return. The Bee is one paper, during the bolt of white and Colored Republicans throughout this country, that stood firm for the Grand Old Party. It has had no cause to regret its stand and it today stands pat for the return of the Republican party to power, and at the same time it will advocate, unequivocally, the return of Senator Chilton to power and wherever this article is read in West Virginia it is hoped that it will have some effect on the Colored voter in behalf of the man who stood by the Colored Americans in the hour of their perils and distress. It is the belief of The Bee that the present administration would have done more for the Colored voter had it not have been for Southern Democracy. It is its belief, today, that the administration is inclined to help the Negro, although conditions may look dark. Let us hope, because times could be worse. EXCISE LAW. The liquor dealers don't seem to have the protection to which they are entitled. The Exise Board that had the task to issue three hundred liquor licenses was censured for trying to do its duty. There is too much law in this city and too many police regulations. There is no city in the United States that has as many laws and police regulations to be given it as the District of Columbia. If we had less laws it is believed that the city would be better governed. There are more drunks today than when we had five years ago. The record of the police will show that there are more violations of the law today than we had five years ago at this time. The last recommendation the chief of police made was for additional police officers. This in itself shows that the new Exise law has caused more drunks which necessarily requires more police officers. The reduction in saloons hasn't made any more business for those who were fortunate enough to secure a license. If the Anti-Saloon League wants to do the city a service, The Bee would suggest that it devote itself to alley cleaning and looking after the poor and needy in the slums. People who like liquor will drink it any way and what business is it to the Anti-Saloon League if the people consumed all the liquor that is manufactured. This Anti-Saloon League reminds The Bee of a school of old maids who can't marry themselves and they get angry if others marry. A man or woman who likes liquor has a right to drink it if he or she desires, without the interference of a lot of meddling busy bodies. Congress has enacted a law permitting the sale of liquor, why not permit the dispensation of the beverage go unmolested? There is more hypocracy among temperance advocates than there is among old drunks. Many temperance advocates are more guilty of violating liquor laws than those who art permitted by law to sell liquor. BY THEIR FRUITS In the production of "The Birth of a Nation" in this city, a race is labelled. In the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, that race may be judged by its fruits. Charles W. Anderson goes out of office to-day, after holding for ten years this responsible post under the Treasury. Many millions of dollars have passed through his hands. His dealings have been practically all with white men of the keenest intellect and of substantial business standing. Capacity and courtesy have been the qualities most remarked in his conduct of an office maintained always in the highest efficiency. In Collector Anderson's time, three complicated and important new revenue measures, the income tax, the corporation tax and the war revenue tax, have made this office the most difficult, as it is the most important, ever held by a colored man under the Government. He has stood the test. No race is fairly judged by holding up as types for reprobation its most degraded specimens. Every race has the right to be judged by its patient, tolling, useful average, and by its best. From The New York World The Bee produces the foregoing excerpt: Why wouldn't we be proud of the record of such a man? There is no man in the service that has been a greater honor to the race and a credit to the government. Here is a man of which the race may feel justly proud. The prejudiced white press of the country can always see the dark side of the Colored man, but not the light and good side. It can see and print his bad traits, but never his good traits. Every position Mr. Anderson has filled has been with honor and dignity. FOUNTAIN PEYTON, ESQ. The Bee is proud of its legal representatives. It is proud of the men who are making records for themselves and know how to protect all classes, irrespective of color or conditions. What makes Attorney Frank Peyton-command the respect and confidence of all classes, irrespective of color or conditions, is his liberality to all classes and under all conditions. Beyond all doubt he is a lawyer of ability and one that conducts his cases in a manner that commands the respect and consideration of the courts. There are members of the bar who would like to see the administration recognize his ability. When he declared for Mr. Wilson he thought that he was doing the best thing for his people. He was unlike nine-tenths of the so-called Democrats who supported Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party. Mr. Peyton contributed his own money and wrote his own campaign document of which many thousands were printed and circulated. His name appears upon the Democratic contributing roll and not the pay roll. The Democratic treasurer has the names of every patriotic (?) Colored Democrat who supported Mr. Wilson for revenue only. But there are a few who did not receive a cent and it is the opinion of those who were loyal to Mr. Wilson that they should be given consideration. WHAT SOUTHERNERS THINK Some southerners are of the opinion when a Colored man expresses himself fully and condemns the many wrongs they impose upon him, that he is a menace and disastrous to his race. If these same individuals can use that same Colored man to advance his personal interest and ambition, in his opinion, he is a good Negro. The editor of The Bee neither cares, nor does he cater to any man or woman for his or her likes or dislikes when his race is being imposed upon. The Bee has condemned the high and the low, and will continue to do so when it sees injustice perpretrated against the race it represents. Every man who smiles in your face is not necessarily your friend. Every man who apparently does you a kindness is not always your friend and neither can you believe everything he says. A man or woman who has a purpose in view will cater to acts of humiliation to enable him to accomplish his purpose. A southerner remarked some time ago, who had previously asked a Colored Republican to do him a favor, and had used this individual for his own purpose, that that Negro is a menace to his race. All brave 'Colored men don't think on the same lines that this southerner thinks are menaces to their race. RALPH W. TYLER. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler always had sand in him. He was the only member of the Taft black Cabinet to speak out in meeting. He knew how to run his office and he never failed to let those over him know it. In another column will be read with interest his attitude on a moving picture theater in Columbus, Ohio, his home. Negroes in this town would rather patronize a "Jim Crow" theater than to support their own. You can see them nightly in the permit gallery of the National, Belasco and the five cent movies on Seventh street. They would rather go to a department store or a shoe store or a tog- gery shop where they are segregated than to patronize their own places of amusements and business. We have our own drug stores, the finest in the city, but if a second-class drug store conducted by white people will permit Colored people to enter they would prefer those. Mr. Tyler was an example for Negro office holders when he was in this city. He will come back again. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The fifteenth annual, report of the National Negro Business League has just been received. It contains two hundred and seventy-three and a half pages. The League held its fifteenth annual session at Muskogee, Oklahoma, August 19, to 21, and was stenographically reported by that very competent stenographer, Mr. Wm. H. Davis, one of the best-known writers in the United States. This report should be in the hands of every Negro business man in the Untied States. It not only contains the doings of what took place at Oklahoma, but what the Colored Americans are doing throughout the United States in business. Dr. Washington and his efficient secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, deserve credit and the highest commendation of the Colored business men of America. THE BEE·LEADS. The circulation of The Bee has increased five hundred within three weeks. Its circulation is greater than the combined circulation of any two weekly papers in the District of Columbia and if you ask the agents where The Bees are sold you will be told that twice as many Bees are sold than any other two weekly papers in the District of Columbia. Advertisers will get results if they advertise in The Bee. The people read it, the children crow for it. Old folks are made happy when they read it. Timid men and women and nervous wrecks are stimulated when they read it. It is a household companion. It is the guardian of the oppressed and a defender of the weak. Look at its advertisers and see the reputation of the firms. The leading houses among the white and Colored advertise in The Bee. 1st. Because it is the people's paper. 2d. Because it is thirty-five years old and has never missed an issue. 3d. It lives because it is supported by the people and not by a class. 4th. All honest people, moral and upright people, have it in their homes. 5th. Because good churches believe in it and honest ministers support it. 6th. No first-class lawyer would be without The Bee. All first-class lawyers advertise in The Bee. See its legal column and judge for yourselves. The Bee is the paper because the judges say so and the world confirms it. Send your names in now. Don't delay. DELEGATE IN CONGRESS. There is every reason to believe that the next Congress will give the people in the District of Columbia power to elect a delegate to Congress. A representative in Congress would tend to straighten out matters for the people. A representative man in Congress would be a benefit to the people. Some people say that the Colored voter would be a menace to such a propaganda. If the proper man is nominated, be he a Democrat, Republican, Socialist, Catholic, Baptist, Methodist or any other denomination, the Colored voter will support him. The day of sentiment so far as the Colored Americans are concerned has passed. What the Colored man wants is a man who will look out for his interest. There are some very good men in this city who would make good and be an honor to the District of Columbia. THE BEE. If you want results The Bee is the paper in which to place your advertisement. Go to your newsstands and ask what paper is the best seller. Look at The Bee's class of advertisers. The circulation of The Bee increases daily. It is the people's paper and not the organ of shams. JACK JOHNSON. Jack Johnson, the pugilist was defeated by Willard.- The country will have a. breathing spell as to Johnson at any rate. He ought to go to Paris and go farming. If it can be gotten, it comes to us in the way of fine grade goods, suits; lots of good tailors have a lot on hand and are glad to get our cash for them, and our trade buy freely and keep us busy. Think of what a $10 note will buy, but only from us; and even $3 will put a suit on a poor man who cannot spend more. One price. Justh's Old Stand. 619 D. ARMSTRONG AHEAD. Armstrong Manual Training School landed first place in a gymnasium meet held Thursday afternoon in the school's gymnasium. The meet was well attended and was paticipated in by a large field of entries. M street was second and Commercial was third in the events.

No. We'll let our progress banish fears, While enemies rage and wonder why, We have stood the toils and the strife, And crossed the bridge of hell gate flood. With great honor, worth the price, And painted the mile stones with our blood. They said we could never be civilized, But we have found the dawn of day. Our education has brought great surprise. They can't tell how we made the way. Through storms and clouds the Negroes rise. Our greatest help is push, trust and pray. To Him who reigns above the skies, That justice soon may have its sway. —REV. L. C. MOORE. Talks to Colored Y. M. C. A. Henry B. B. Maefarland, former District Commissioner, was the principal speaker at the colored Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, when "ladies' day" was observed.

When a Siamese girl attains the age of 35, and still unmarried, she is placed in a class under the special care of the king, who binds himself to find a husband for her. His method is simple. A prisoner in any of the Siamese jails may gain his freedom by marrying one of the mature maidens.

Easter Sunday was a great day at the Tabernacle Baptist Church. At 11 a. m., the pastor, Rev. Levi Washington, preached an interesting sermon on the Resurrection. His remarks were based on 1st Cor. 15. 14. "And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." The musical program was most appropriate, and rendered with great effect, under direction of Prof. John H. Jackson, Mrs. Mattle Daniels was at her best in a solo, entitled, "Jesus Relgns," and Prof. Jackson thrilled the audience in his rendition of Golgotha. The hour for the evening service was given to the GREAT INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE ATLANTA VS. HOWARD Friday, April 9, 1915, 8 P. M.

YOU ARE INVITED Admission 25 Cents young people of the Sunday School, who rendered a sacred cantata, entitled, "Hall His Name," under direction of Prof. J. H. Jackson. The children shone forth brilliantly. At this service there was a large representation from the National Training School for Women and Girls, of which Miss N. H. Burroughs is president. ALEXANDRIA NEWS. the choir of Roberts Chapel, under direction of Mr. P. H. Lumpkins, rendered "The Resurrection," a cantata by Chas. Fountyn Manney, at the early morning service, 6:45 a. m., Easter. The chorus work of the choir was excellent. The singing of Mrs. Gertrude C. Hopkins, Miss Laura M. Dorsey and Miss Delilah Hammond in the Female Trio well deserves special mention. Mrs. Susie B. Brooks sang the soprano solos in her usual artistic manner. Her voice was in exceptionally good condition. Mr. P. H. Lumpkins handled the tenor role in a very pleasing manner; and Preston Baltimore and Whitfield H. Brooks made a real dramatic rendition of the Bardone recitatives. Miss Martha E. Buckner presided at the organ. The orchestra instruments added much to the beauty of the accompaniment and the artistic playing by our young cornetist, Mr. Ingersol Johnson, was in many respects equal to that of many who have had the advantage of much more experience. The rendition as a whole was quite creditable. At the 11:00 o'clock service at Alfred street Baptist Church, their organist and choir master, Mr. Edgar J. Johnson, prepared and rendered a special Easter program which inculcated "Unfold Ye Portals," an excerpt from "The Redemption," together with other numbers of a high order.

Worcester, exsecretary of the interior for the Philippine Islands, in reporting to the American Forestry Association of Washington on forest conditions in the Philippines, says that 40,000,000 acres, or nearly one-half of the land area of the islands, are covered by valuable virgin forests, while second growth forests hold possession of another 20,000,000 acres. He says in part: "In view of the indifference which we ourselves have shown toward the conservation of our own forest resources in the immediate past we should not wonder that the Filipinos, by which term I designate the Christianized civilized residents of the archipelago, should still be utterly indifferent to the preservation of their forests as a permanent source of wealth. "One might suppose that the sparse population of the islands could at the worst make comparatively little impression on their vast forests. Unfortunately this is not the case. For untold centuries there has prevailed the custom of obtaining land for agriculture by felling and burning the forest trees. Newly cleared lands have been abandoned as soon as cogon made its appearance. This pest is more than capable of holding its own against all comers. Its wide spreading and sharply pointed roots not only make the soil acid, but bore through any moderately soft obstacles which they encounter. Furthermore, cogon burns readily and fiercely during the dry season, destroying any young trees which may have established themselves, with the result that a deforestation area which becomes a cogonal remains a cogonal unless man intervenes." Sydney, Australia.—A new form of real sport has been discovered in Australia—hunting kangaroos by motorcar. The mere chase alone is said to be productive of many thrills, calling for a fast car guided by an adept hand. To pilot a motorcar through the open country, over fields dotted with rabbit warrens and bunch grass bunkers at a speed of forty or forty-five miles an hour calls for steady nerves, a cool head and consummate skill. As the shooting is done over the side of the car the man at the wheel is forced to maneuver his craft much after the fashion of a man-o-war in order to give the rifles a chance. The hunters shoot from a bumping, swaying seat at a target which moves as fast if not faster than the car. The range varies from fifty to 100 yards. The fact that a prolonged drought had made the kangaroos a pest in the vicinity of water places caused the automobile owners to offer their services and their cars toward ridding the country of numbers of the troublesome animals. Heretofore it had been found exceeding difficult to bag the creatures without persistent and expert stalking. Kangaroos will run forty-five miles an hour with injuries that would stop a human being in his tracks. A wounded 'roo can easily outdistance the fleetest horse. CREW STARVED SIX DAYS. Terrible Experience of Shipwrecked Sailors—Two Women With Them. Santiago, Cuba.—The Ward liner Manzanillo, which arrived here, brought the shipwrecked crew of the British bark Ethel V. Berinton, a lumber laden vessel from Mobile for Genoa. A storm struck the Berinton, dismantling her completely, most of the vessel being submerged. Finally an immense wave broke the vessel in two. Captain Waldemar, his wife and niece, and the crew of nine men, budding in part of the prow which continued nfloat, remained thus for six days, without food or water until they were rescued by the Manzanillo. They were taken to a hospital under the care of the British consul. Their condition is serious, but all will probably recover. SHOVELS COAL IN SLEEP. Somnambulist Gets Up at 2 A. M. and Unloads Eight Tons. Lake Odessa, Mich.—In a most remarkable case of sleepwalking Jacob Herrington, a laborer, arose at 2 o'clock in the morning and shoveled eight tons of coal out of a car on the siding into a bin belonging to Smith Bros., Velte & Co. David Leak, an employee of the firm, found him the next morning and awoke him, when he relapsed into a state of physical exhaustion. Herrington had worked at the same task the day he @re, and it is thought that an anxiety to complete it so that he could help his brother dig a well, preyed upon his mind until it induced sleepwalking.

Paris—Henry Sydnor Harrison, the American novelist, has begun his duties as an automobile ambulance driver for the American hospital. His work for the time being will be the transportation of wounded soldiers within Paris, but he hopes to be sent to the front soon. Mr. Harrison went to London from New York two months ago determined to get into the war in some way. He had an insufficient knowledge of J. HENRY SYDNOR HARRISON. French, so he started a cramming course in that language. At the same time he attended a school for motorcar drivers. Six hours daily were spent learning French from a Belgian refugee and as many more at a school for motorists. Then Mr. Harrison came to Paris to put the finishing touches on his necessary education and finally received his much desired diploma. Mr. Harrison is the author of "Queed," "V. V.'s Eyes" and "Angela's Business," just published. He has also written numerous short stories which have appeared in the periodicals. He was born in Sewanee, Tenn., in 1880. Washington.-Secretary of War Garrison is willing and anxious to do a good turn for an ambitious Irish boy in Dublin, who wants to be a cowboy. But the secretary hails from New Jersey and knows neither cowboys nor ranch owners. He would like to receive an offer from any ranchman who is ready to transform this Irish boy into a cowpuncher. These offers when received at the war department will be forwarded to the Dublin lad in response to a letter sent by him to Mr. Garrison as follows: Dear sir-I would be very thankful if you would try and get me into the cowboy reach. I would like to be a cowboy and I would be very glad if you would do your best and get me into the cowboy reach. I am a boy of ten years of age. I am five foot, and I would make a fine man, and I would do my best and work hard at the cattle and drive them wherever you want them. I would like to be a cowboy rancher. I am very fond of cowboys. That is why I would like to be one. Mr. Garrison was puzzled to understand why the boy had written, but is ready to old him in his ambition. The boy gave his name and address, but those were withheld by the secretary when he made public the letter. It was informally suggested that if the letter were referred to Colonel Roosevelt the latter would find the ranchman. ASK REPEAL OF DRUG LAW. Habitual Dope Fiends Send Pathetic Letters to Revenue Department. Washington.—Appeals for some relaxation of the rigid anti-drug law are pouring in on the commissioner of internal revenue from unfortunates in all parts of the country. The sufferers find their sources of supply cut off and are becoming desperate. Pathetic and hysterical applications have been penned. None of the letters are being made public, but it is said that the names of some of the signers of the epistles would startle the communities in which they live. Naturally the commissioner is powerless to do anything other than enforce the law even if he wished to modify the regulations. COLLEGE GIRLS DO MARRY. Bryn Mawr Dean Says More Than 50 Per Cent of Graduates Wed. Philadelphia. - The popular impression that college women do not like wedlock is refuted by the statement of Doctor' Isabel Maddison, recording dean of Bryn Mawr college, who says that more than 50 per cent of the school's graduates who left the institution fifteen years ago are now married. She considers that this average is a fine one, but refuses to comment on the fact that about nine out of every ten women not of college training are married before reaching the thirty mark. BET WAR WILL END BY SEPT.1 Odds In London Ten to One on Peace Before Dec. 1. BIG SUPPLY OF AMMUNITION British Expert Thinks That the Side That Can Kill the Most Man Will Win In the End-Asserts That Germany Has a Sufficient Supply of Food to Last Year. London.—There is probably no question asked more frequently just now than: "When do you think the war will end?" Opinions differ widely, as is only natural when there is so little real information to go upon. Betting in the city is quoted as being, that the war will end: Before May 1, 1915—3 to 1 against. Before June 1, 1915—2 to 1 against. Before Sept. 1, 1915—even. Before Dec. 1, 1915-10 to 1 on. Before March 1, 1916-15 to 1 on. This certainly indicates a more optimistic feeling than anything said by ministers and other important authorities would seem to justify, though all of these are careful not to commit themselves to anything definite. Generally speaking, the highly placed authorites are grave in tone, and preparations of all kinds are going on with increasing vigor. Lord Southwark announced at the annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce that he was authorized by Lord Kitchner to say that since the beginning of the war "we have increased the output of war material 300 times in excess of what it was before. He added that under the bill we were discussing in the house of lords he hoped and expected to get a great accession of labor which would enable him enormously to increase the supplies." Statements like this and Asquith's recent warning that the war would be a long one seem to suggest that the calculations of those who ought to know best hardly reckon on an early end to fighting. A high authority said the other day: "This war will only be ended by killing. The allies have to face Germany with a butcher's bill so huge that she will at last refuse to see it increased." To the question of how big he thought that the bill would have to be he answered after awhile: "That is hard to say. But I estimate the German casualties up to date at 1,250,000 and that, I think, is barely half what they will have to be. But, believe me, it is only by kill, kill, kill that they can be defeated. The question of food will not enter into it. They have plenty of provisions. It is only by killing their men that we shall make them give in." He then told me of a remark made by a German officer rescued from the Bluecher. "Have your sailors nothing better to do with their time than to save the lives of the enemy?" This, he said, was right in effect, for the death of every German soldier or sailor brought the war so much nearer to its end, but the tradition of the British navy is to save life after the defeat of the enemy. An interesting article published by a writer whose opinons have often proved well justified gives the result of an inquiry made on the spot into the present conditions in Germany. From a friend in the diplomatic corps in Berlin, who had unusual facilities for collecting the information, he obtained the following figures: There were 6,000,000 ablebodied men between nineteen and forty-five who had not served in the army up to Jan. 1. There were close upon 1,000,000 volunteers half of whom were included in the ersatzreserve or substitute reserves. To these are to be added the approximately 4,000,000 now with the colors. Casualties reported up to Jan. 15 were said by the same authority to be: Killed, 153,000; wounded, 574,000; missing and prisoners, 162,000, making a total of 889,000. An estimate of the losses up to Feb. 1 makes the killed, wounded and missing or prisoners approximately 1,289,000. Allowing for the return to, the firing line of only one third of the wounded, the irretrievable loss in fighting material is estimated at 1,089,000 officers and men up to Feb. 1. Making allowance for another six weeks of fighting, this estimate differs little from the 1,250,000 of the English authority referred to above. WEALTHY BOY JOINS NAVY. Pasadena Millionaire Gives Consent When His Son Enlists. Los Angeles, Cal.-Donald Murphy, nineteen years old, son of A. M. Murphy, a Pasadena millionaire, is at Mare island, San Francisco, where he enlisted for three years' service in the navy. Young Murphy drove up to the naval recruiting office in Spring street in his automobile, accompanied by his parents. "I want to enlist as a sailor in the American navy." he said to the officer in charge. His father and mother gave their consent. He passed the physical and mental examination and their was enlisted. Re-entering the automobile, he went to the Santa Fe station, where he boarded a train for Mare Island. Murphy last year was graduated from the Pasadena high school.

Columbus, Ohio, April 4.—The machinery for making ready to properly entertain the Colored Knights of Pythias Supreme Grand Lodge and Encampment, which is to be held in this city in August, was formally set in motion this week. Colored Knights of Pythias throughout the country when they come to Columbus next August will find that; properly speaking, the entire state of Ohio will be the host rather than this city alone. The incorporation last week under the laws of Ohio of the Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee, marked the beginning of active steps to prepare for the reception of the Supreme Grand Lodge Uniform Rank, and Court of Calantha. The officers of this Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee consists of Attorney Robert E. Barcus, president; W. H. Woods, vice president; W. H. Ferguson, corresponding secretary; John W. Harris, recording secretary; Dr. W. A. Mathod, treasurer; and a board of trustees including the above named along with State Grand Chancellor W. L. Anderson, Robert S. Allen, Col. Isaac Farley, Capt. C. C. Caldwell, Rev. E. L. Gilliam, H. U. Jamison, Miss Ollie R. Pettiford, Miss Mae Smith, Miss Nettle Wyatt and Miss Marie Jones. It is assured that all of the seventy-four subordinate lodges throughout Ohio will contribute financially, and otherwise, to give visiting Knights a week of entertainment surpassing that of any previous city in which the Supreme Grand Lodge has convened. Memorial Hall, the largest and finest in the entire state, an edifice that cost a million dollars, has already been secured for the great banquet and for the public entertainment which will form a part of the week's festivities; the auditorium of the white Chamber of Commerce has been secured for the entire week in which to hold the daily sessions of the Supreme Grand Lodge, and Lynden Hall has been secured for the week for the sessions of the Court of Calantha. The Governor of Ohio, Hon. Frank R. Willis, has consented to deliver the address of welcome on the part of the state; and Mayor Geo. J. Karb has agreed to deliver the welcome address on the part of the city. Ample grounds, beautifully level and on two lines of street railway, and within ten minutes ride from the heart of the city, have been secured for the encampment of the Uniform Rank. The white citizens will co-operate with the Entertainment Committee and the Colored citizens to welcome the Colored Knights and make their stay in Columbus delightful. Supreme Grand Chancellor Greer of New Orleans, and General R. R. Jackson of the Uniform Rank of Chicago, have both been here and placed their O. K. on the plans perfected by the Entertainment Committee. State Grand Chancellor W. L. Anderson of Cincinnati, with other State Grand Lodge officers are earnestly co-operating and the State Grand Lodge itself, as a body, is lending every assistance, financially and otherwise, to make this convening of the Supreme Grand Lodge the greatest in the history of the order. One encouraging feature is the active and earnest assistance that is being given by the white Chamber of Commerce and of the white citizens in general. The committee on homes is now active in listing homes that will agree to take visiting Knights and Ladies, and gives the assurance that ample accommodations will be provided for the thirty-five thousand visitors who are expected that week. From now on until the close of the meeting this machinery, the Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee, seconded by citizens, regardless of race or color, will be in full and constant motion. The state of Ohio aims to far surpass even Baltimore, the city in which the last meeting of the Supreme Grand Lodge was held two years ago, in entertaining the Colored Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calantha.

BEST JESUS DIED A HUMAN RAISED A SPIRIT BEING "Put to Death In the Flesh, but Made Alive In Spirit" The Resurrection of Christ—Bible Clear and Harmonious on the Subject—Theory of Body Resurrection Unreasonable—Fleah and Blood Cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God Natural Men Cannot Appreciate Spiritual Things, Says the Bible. New York City, April 4. — Pastor Russell addressed large audiences today. We report one of his discourses, from the text, "With what body do they come" (1 Corinthians 15:35.) He said in part: PASTOR RUSSELL In our contact St. Paul discusses the resurrection. and shows that without God's purpose to restore the dead to life those who have fallen asleep in death would have perished as do brute beasts. Then he assures us that Christ has risen and "become the First-fruits of those that slept". Others, indeed, were awakened temporarily; for instance, the daughter of Jalrus, the son of the widow of Naln, and Lazarus the friend of Jesus. Yet none of these instances is counted as a resurrection; for it is said that Christ is the First-fruits of them that slept. Their awakening was merely of a temporary nature, and they soon relapsed into the sleep of death. They did not have a full resurrection—enastasis—a raising up to perfection of life, such as the redemptive work of Jesus guaranteees to Adam and to all his race willing to accept the same under the terms of the New Covenant. Jeremiah 31:31-34. The Scriptures clearly teach that it is not the body, but the soul, that is promised a resurrection—that it was our Lord's soul that went to Sheol, to Hades, to the death state, and that God raised Him from death on the third day. All Christendom has been plunged into difficulties by the unscriptural theory that it is the body which is to be resurrected. We shall now note a few of the difficulties into which this error has plunged us as believers in the words of Christ, particularly in connection with our Redeemer's resurrection. What Went to Heaven? The ordinary thought in Christian minds in respect to our Lord's death and resurrection is that when He seemed to die He did not die; that He, the being, soul, could not die; that, instead, He went to Heaven, and then came back on the third day to get the body which had been crucified; that He took it to Heaven forty days later; that He has had that body ever since; and that He will have it to all eternity, marred with the print of the nails in His hands and His feet, with the print of the thorns upon His brow, and with the spear mark in His side. What a ghastly thought! How strange that we should have been misled into so unscriptural and unreasonable a theory! Some endeavor to gloss the matter by suggesting that our Lord's desh is glorified—that it shines—the shining presumably making the wounds all the more conspicu- Our Methodist friends have not yet changed their statement of the matter, namely, "He ascended up on High, taking His fleshy body with Him and all that appertained thereto, and sat down on the right hand of God." This medieval statement correctly admits that the fleshy body was not the Lord's glorified body, but declares that He, the soul, took it with Him as language. The statement, "and all that appertained thereto," presumably would refer to our Lord's sandals, walking stick, and such clothing as the soldiers did not divide amongst themselves at the time of His crucifixion—if indeed He had any others! But our dear Methodist friends wish to be sure that nothing was left behind. All this is of a piece with the theory that when the saints die they go to Heaven, and return later to get their bodies "and all things appertaining thereto"—the inconveniences that they have been rid of for centuries! How many trunkloads of "things appertaining thereto" may be taken by some, and how mixed an assortment by others, is not stated. Neither are particulars given respecting these whose clothing, etc., have meantime worn out. But we have had enough of this, if it has helped us to see the absurdities of our theories received from the Dark Ages. If it has awakened us to thought and to Bible investigation on this important and interesting subject. What Say the Scriptures? The Bible presentation of this matter is in every way reasonable, consistent and harmonious. St. Paul points out that "there is a natural body and there is a spirit body." He does not mean, and he does not say, that the spirit body is a human body glorified. Quite to the contrary, he declares that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God"—no matter how glorified it might be. A human being is so totally different from a spirit being that, as St. John says, "it doth not yet appear what we shall be" in our resur- rection change; and the Scriptures do not attempt to give us an explanation. The Bible merely declares that as we now bear the image of the earthy, Adam, we shall by the glorious resurrection change be given a share in the nature and likeness of the Second Adam, our glorious Lord. We shall be like Him and see Him as He is (1 John 3:2). And be it noted, we must be changed from flesh and blood conditions to spirit conditions by resurrection power, in order that we may see Him as He is. Surely this fact proves that our Lord Jesus is no longer flesh, as He was once—"in the days of His flesh."—Hebrews 5:7. Heavenly bodies versus Earthly bodies. St. Paul calls attention to the difference between celestial bodies and terrestrial, or earthly bodies, and declares that they have different glories. He tells us that the first Adam was made a living soul, a human being; but that our Redeemer, who humbled Himself and took the earthly nature "for the suffering of death," thereby became the Second Adam—the Heavenly Lord. The wide distinction between the first Adam and the Second Adam is clearly set forth. One was earthy, and the other Heavenly. As we now bear the image of the earthy, we shall, if faithful, bear the Heavenly image of our Lord, the Second Adam, after our resurrection change. St. Paul illustrates by saying that we know of many kinds of organisms on the earthy plane—one flesh of man, another of beasts, another of birds and another of fishes. But however different the organisms, they are all earthy. So on the Heavenly plane, the spirit plane, there are varieties of organisms, but all are spirit. Our Heavenly Father is the Head or Chief—"God is a Spirit." Cherubim, seraphim, and the still lower orders of angels are all spirit beings; and Christ, our Redeemer, after finishing the work of sacrificing appointed to Him, was resurrected to the Spirit plane—far above angels, principalities and powers—next to the Father. (Ephesians 1:20-23) Thus we read, "Now the Lord is that Spirit"; and again, "He was put to death in the flesh, but quickened [made alive] in the spirit."-2 Corinthians 3:17; 1 Peter 3:18. The more we examine the subject, the more foolish and unscriptural appear the views handed down to us from the Dark Ages. For instance, the Scriptures clearly set forth that our Redeemer, prior to becoming a man, was a spirit being—"The Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." His leaving the spirit plane to become a man is Scripturally described as a great stoop, or humiliation. Is it reasonable to suppose that the Heavenly Father would perpetuate to all eternity his humiliation, after it had served its purpose? Surely not! The Bible tells us why Jesus humbled Himself to the human nature—"a little lower than the angels." It was because a man had sinned, and the Redeemer must, under the Law, be on the same plane as the one whom He would redeem. Thus Jehovah particularly specified, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life." Hence the death of an angel or of our Lord in His pre-human condition could not have effected the payment of man's penalty and the consequent release of the condemned race. Thus again we read, "A body hast Thou prepared Me," "for the suffering of death."—Hebrews 10:5; 2:9. No one questions that this applies exclusively to our Lord's experiences during the years in which "He who was rich became poor for our sakes, that we through His poverty might be made rich." Surely it is unsupposable that the Father would arrange a Plan by which our Redeemer's faithfulness in accomplishing man's redemption would cost Him an eternity of poverty, humiliation, degradation to a plane "a little lower than the angels"; while the Church would be made rich and would attain a spirit state "far above angels"—be made partakers of the Divine nature.—2 Peter 1:4 "God Hath Highly Exalted Him." On the contrary, the very same Apostle who tells us of our Lord's humiliation carries the matter to the climax, and tells us of His faithfulness, as the Man Christ Jesus, "unto death, even the death of the cross." Then he adds an assurance of the Heavenly Father's faithfulness in not leaving His Son on a lower plane: "Wherefore God also highly exalted Him, and hath given Him a name above every name."—Philippians 2:9. This is in harmony with our Lord's words in His prayer to the Father. A joy had been set before Him—the joy of pleasing the Father, of bringing a blessing to mankind, and also of exaltation, as a special reward for obedience. But the Redeemer, ignoring all the promises of a higher glory as a reward for His faithfulness, merely prayed to the Father in these words, "Father, glorify Thou Me with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was." In humility He asked no reward. He did not pray, Remember that You promised a still greater exaltation in glory! No; He would be quite content to serve the Father's purposes and plans, and then to return to the glorious state in which He was before He left the glory and for our sakes became poor, taking upon Himself the human nature. And what said the Heavenly Father in response to that prayer? Oh, we remember that Jehovah's words were: "I have glorified Thee, and I will glorify Thee again," or further—the implication is that of a still higher glory than the one which He enjoyed before He was made flesh. He Appeared and Disappeared. Two lines of difficulties present themselves, one of which can be answered and the other cannot. The unanswer ble difficulty is where a natural-minded man undertakes to reason the subject out. He finds it impossible of comprehension, as he finds other items of Divine revelation. St. Paul explains this, saying, "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." The Apostle proceeds to tell us that all men are natural men except such as have been begotten again by the Holy Spirit. All natural men will, in their resurrection, receive earthly, or human bodies; while all spiritual ones, New Creatures in Christ, will receive spirit bodies, as St. Paul explains in our context—Verses 36-50. Not all of my hearers can appreciate this—only such as have received the begetting of the Holy Spirit. Others, therefore, I will ask to consider what I say and to hold it, if they please, tentatively, until such time as in God's providence they may be begotten of the Spirit, and thus be enabled to understand spiritual matters, such as this. Another class who have difficulty on this subject are spirit-begotten, but have been entangled in their reasoning by the declaration of the creeds respecting the resurrection of the body. It is difficult to unlearn error. When visiting foreign lands and learning of the hold of superstition upon the heathen, I said to myself, I believe that we Christians experience just as much difficulty in unlearning our errors as these heathen do in getting free from thelas. Cannot Understand Spiritual Problems. Coming to the point of what is to be resurrected, we note the fact that our Lord appeard in a body of flesh, and showed the disciples the print of the nails and the hole made by the spear. But we, perhaps, failed to note that only twice did He thus appear and only for a few moments each time. His other six or seven appearances during these forty days were also very brief, and were in various bodies—once as a gardener, another time as a traveler, a third time as a stranger on the shore. To Saul of Tarsus He appeared as a Spirit Being of more than angelic brightness, "shining above the brightness of the sun" at noonday. We overlooked the fact that His various appearances before His ascension, if all put together, would probably not have exceeded four hours out of the entire forty days in which He tarried with His disciples after His resurrection. When we overlooked these things, we were not critical, and we forgot to ask ourselves why these things were so. Now we see more distinctly why our Lord did as He did. His disciples were natural men, and therefore could not appreciate spiritual things. Furthermore, they could not receive the guiding of the Holy Spirit until the Lord's ascension and appearance in the presence of the Father on behalf of His Church, to make satisfaction for their sins and to make them acceptable joint-sacrificers with Him. Meanime, had Jesus not tarried those forty days—had He ascended immediately after His resurrection—the disciples, stunned and bewildered, would have had no assurance of His resurrection. They would have found it impossible to tell the people that He had risen from the dead when they had no proof to this effect. Even if Jesus had appeared to them as He did to Saul of Tarsus, above the bright shining of the sun, this would not have been convincing and satisfactory. They might have said, Here is a phenomenon; but how can we positively associate it with the life and the death of Jesus? With Saul of Tarsus matters were different. He needed something to arouse him thoroughly and to teach him for all time, and others through him, that the risen Lord is not a man, but "that Spirit." Beside, some of the disciples who already believed were able to Saul of Tarsus assurances of what they already knew respecting the resurrection of Jesus and His ascension. The Lord adopted the only reasonable way of helping His disciples to understand that He was no longer dead—that He had risen from the dead, and that He was no longer human, but had been glorified and had become a Spirit Being. The two things were necessary, and they were done at the same time. Even on the occasions when our Lord appeared in a body like unto the one which was crucified, He took care that the manifestation should be under such conditions as would positively prove that He had become a Spirit Being. He came into the room where they were while the door was shut, and after a few words with them vanished from their sight, as no human being could have done and as He never had done during His earthly career. That the Apostles caught the thought is well evidenced by St Paul's argument on the subject set forth in our text and its context. In the Bible there is no foolish suggestion about Jesus having a fleshy body in Heaven. All that is in our creeds and our hymn books, prepared for us by our wellmeaning but mistaken forefathers, who used to burn one another at the stake if, they failed promptly to agree on such propositions. Our Lord's resurrection was the Life Resurrection—to perfection on the spirit it plane. In that He was "the First-fruits of them that slept," the implication is that others slept similarly and are to come forth in the resurrection as spirit beings: for although our Lord was the First-fruits of all that slept in the sense that His resurrection preceded all other resurrections, yet in another sense He is the First-fruits of "the Church, which is His Body." "Tis one thing now to read the Bible through. Another thing to read, to learn and do; Tis one thing now to read it with delight. And quite another thing to read it right. "Some read to prove a pre-adopted creed. This understand but little what they read; And every passage in the Book they bend To make it suit that all-important end." POLAND'S TRAGEDY TOLD BY PIANIST Paderewski Says Poles Are Made to Kill Poles. SUFFER MANY HARDSHIPS. Asserts That His Fellow Countrymen Are the Only Ones Who Know the Utmost Depths of What This War Really Means—Brother Fights Brother and They Destroy Their Own Country. London.—The visit to London of Ignace Paderewski on behalf of the suffering Poles has already resulted in the formation of a great relief committee. Among the members of the committee are Premier Asquith, ex-Premier Balfour, Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd-George, Cardinal Bourne, Archbishop of Westminster; Lady Bandolph Churchill, Admiral Lord Charles Beresford (retired), and the Russian and French ambassadors. The following article was written by the great pianist: Is it the death agony or only the birth pangs? is the question which every Pole throughout the world is asking himself as tragedy follows tragedy in the long martyrdom of our beloved nation. You have only heard M. IGNACE PADREWSEKI. the details of Belgium, but I tell you they are as nothing compared with what has happened in Poland. "The scene of operations in Poland is seven times larger than that of Belgium, and she has had to endure seven times the torture. Remember, the battle of Europe is being fought in the east, not in the west, and while the tide of battle has reached a sort of ebb along the trenches about the frontiers of Alsace and Flanders, the great waves roll backward and forward from Germany to Russia and break always on Poland. Our country, in fact, just as Belgium was called—the cockpit of Europe—and it may now be called the battlefield of the world, if not of civilization. "It is only perhaps we Poles who have known to its utmost depths what this war has really meant. It is not only that there are 10,000,000 human beings on the verge of starvation, nay, actually perishing; there is worse than that. Remember that both Belgium and Poland are still under the yoke. The Russians, it is true, occupy some 15,000 miles of our country, but this is really nothing, for the Germans occupy five-sixths of it, and the decolation passes all comprehension. "As to actual battles, I can hardly speak of them. It is torture even to think of them. Only consider! Our one nation is divided, as it were, into three sections, which are thrust each against the others to work out their own destruction. It is parricide! It is fratricide, nay, suicide! Compulsory suicide! That is what it is." "Listen to what it means to us all: I was told by a gentleman from Austria that an army doctor, a Pole by birth, who was deputed to go over the battlefields and verify identification marks on the dead bodies, found among the 14,000 dead hardly any but Polish names. He looked in vain for any others, and in the end went mad with horror at the thought of it. "Again, in the fierce battle in Galicia during an interval which had been agreed upon by both sides as a momentary armistice to bury their dead and attend to their wounded, the doctors from either side first of all advanced and exchanged cards. Every slip of pasteboard bore a Polish name, while the feeling that ran silently through each breast was the same. Can Poland survive? Is it the death agony or is it but the the birth pangs? Today who knows? I only know the present, and unless that present is saved the future is lost." Germany's Defense a Secret.

Scientist Says He Belongs to Distinct American Race. Washington.—The Indian bureau gave out an article by Arthur C. Parker, archaeologist and ethnologist of the University of the State of New York, in which the recent assertion of Cato Sells, United States commissioner of Indian affairs, that the North American Indian was not a Mongolian was sustained. Mr. Parker in his article says: "There were native Indians, American Indians, in America thousands of years before there were such races as the Chinese or Tartars, Manchus or Turanians." "There have been theories that the Indians were the lost Welsh colonists, that they were shipwrecked Japanese and even the ten lost tribes. Science has proved beyond question the foolishness of these theories, and any text book used in school or college that repeats these errors is now relegated to the heap of out of date books. "No ethnologist known to the writer believes that the Indian is a sort of acclimated Chinaman or a descendant of the Mongols of Asia, but he may believe, and likely does, that the Indian descended from some parent stock that produced the Mongol and, for that matter, the Guatemalan and negro. "The American Indian is the aboriginal American, and in it's various divisions constitutes what is known to scientists as the American race, the most widely distributed race in the world. As such it inhabited two continents, which it to say the entire new world of the western hemisphere." OLD CHURCH BELL MELTED. First Gong In Kansas Was Made of Pure Ginger and Shaved In 1855 Pure Copper and Shipped in 1855. Leavenworth, Kam. - With the burning of the schoolhouse at Kickapoo, what is claimed to have been the first church bell ever to summon a congregation to worship in Kansas was destroyed. The bell was shipped by boat from St. Louis to Kickapoo in 1855 and was the gift of Dr. Rufus. It was hung in the belfry of the Methodist church, claimed to be the first house of worship of that denomination erected in Kansas. In 1865 the bell was sold to the Kickapoo school board. The bell was almost of pure copper. Long before the belfry on the schoolhouse was completely consumed watchers saw the old bell melt and drop away, leaving the cast iron clapper hanging to the frame in which the bell was supported. Chicago Man Finds Brother Injured In Milwaukee. Millwaukee, Wis.—When Archie Jones, in East Millwaukee, was talking to his brother, J. F. Jones, at Chicago, over the long distance telephone the other day the Chicagoan heard a sharp report. "My God, I'm shot!" were the words that came over the eighty-five miles of wire. "I heard it. I'll be right up," said the Chicago man. Then he heard another shot. After calling the Milwaukee police by phone he hurried to a train and two hours and twenty-three minutes later was at his brother's bedside and found that the second shot was fired by his brother's wife at herself. Jones will live, but the wife is dying. She made a statement declaring she did the shooting and said she had made a mistake and did not want Archie to serve a prison term for shooting her. She added she had been convinced that he was not planning to divorce her. "It is terrible," she moaned. "I don't care if I die, but I don't want Archie to go because of my mistake. "I thought he was going to get a divorce. I could not think of his living with another woman. Then I waited for a chance to shoot him. I thought he was talking to a Chicago lawyer about a separation. Now he has told me it was a business deal and I have hurt him for that." MUST WASH HIS GRAVESTONE. Boston Man Leaves Fund to Have Marble Cleaned "Annually Forever." Boston.—Orlando H. Davenport, who left an estate of $500,000, wanted the monument over his grave in Forest Hills cemetery scrubbed with soap once every year until the end of time. In his will he provides $50 annually for this purpose.

Work must be done in May, every year. "forever." The four headstones on the lot must be cleaned in the same manner.
