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. XXXVI, NO. 11 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1915 IS THIS RACE PRIDE? Ebenezer M. E. Church Prefers White Contractor at a Higher Rate Than it Does its Own.-White Firm Paints a Colored Church at a Higher Price than a Colored Contractor. Although there is not, a colored church in his city that receives but little, if any, support from white contractors, but are entirely supported by colored people. Ebenezer M. E. church of which Rev. Dean is pastor, decided to give the painting of that church to a Baltimore, Md., contractor whose bid was $25 more than a first-class colored painter who had been doing work for some of the greatest white firms and millionaires in this city. A. F. Jackson whose place of business is at 317 John Marshall Place northwest. For over 20 years Mr. Jackson has conducted a painting business where he employs from 20 to 30 colored painters daily and whose work is guaranteed and has given satisfaction to all for whom he has worked. It is claimed that Rev. Dean, the pastor, favored the white firm, although the bid of the colored firm was twenty-five ($25) dollars less, and was willing and ready to give a guaranteed bond as an assurance that the work would be properly done. One of the members stated that Mr. Jackson, the colored man, would have received the contract but he pastor advocated the white firm. After the bids had been submitted for the painting, all withdrew with the exception of two, A. F. Jackson, whose bid was $1,240, and J. M. Lonzo Co., a Baltimore firm, whose bid was $1,265, which shows that this firm was $25 higher than the colored contractor. It seems astonishing that large organizations composed of colored people, such as the Ebenezer M. E. church of this city, would award a contract to a white firm when said firm's bid was $25.00 higher than the bid of Mr. A. F. Jackson's, one of the foremost painters in this city, colored or white. Mr. Jackson does work for the American Security & Trust Company, First Presbyterian Church (white), Eastern Presbyterian Church (white), and a number of our largest apartment houses. The following are the bids as they went in and the announcement of the award: ISAIAH T. HATTON & COMPANY, Architects. Mr. A. F. Jackson. The contract for decorating Eberne za M. E. Church, Fourth and D sreets southeast (water color) was awarded to Messrs J. M. Lanza Co., Baltimore Md. The bids were as follows: Geo. Platt Co.—Oil, $1,799. A. F. Jackson—Water, $1,240. G. A. Haslup—Oil, $1,450; water $1,087. J. M. Lanza Co.-Oil $1,750; water $1,265 In behalf of my clients I think you for your bid. I am. Very truly. Very truly, (Signed) ISAIAH II HATTON P. S—For sketches apply to archi- tect. Had Mr. Jackson's bid been only $25,000 higher, it would seem that race pride would have warranted the Church in awarding the same to him, as he is known to be as competent to perform the work as any man in the business. By awarding the contract to a white firm, the church has deprived about thirty colored men employed by Mr. Jackson of so much work. Our ministers preach race pride from the pulpit and for some unknown reason the deacons or committees appointed to look after these matters always award contracts to some white firm, regardless of the bids. The firm awarded the contract in this case is a Baltimore firm. This is the second or third time this church has done these ames thing. With all the prejudice and obstacles that the colored artisan has to contend with, it would seem that the colored organizations having large contracts to give out would at least be fair toward their own people. Every other race shows its race pride but the negro. Let the negroes learn to be men worthy of the name. The most astounding thing is that the pastor of the church, Rev. Dean, took the floor and made a speech advocating the giving of the contract to the white man, although his bid was higher. The vote then stood a tie, and Brother Colbert, the chairman of the trustee board and a great race leader, cast the deciding vote against Mr. Jackson. Of course, Rev. Dean expects that the frieds of the white contractor will contribute money hereafter to support this church, which has heretofore for years been liberally supported by the colored people. IN OLD VIRGINIA. Christian Doings Among the People—Dean's Chapel a Scene of Enjoyment—Rev. Cherry Commemorates the memory of the Founders—His Timely Address—Dean Robinson Speaks Also. Special to The Bee. Wellington, Va., Aug. 12, 1915.—There was gala day at the famous Divers' chapel, founded by Miss Jen- nie Dean a few years ago, and of which Rev. Cherry is pastor. The occasion was Children's Day. About one hundred little children gathered to do honor to this special day, which every year is held especially for the children. About 3:30 the superintendent, Mr. Griffin, opened the meeting, and turned it over to the children. A splendid program was rendered. The solos and recitations by the Misses Redman's and the little Davis children were exceptionally interesting, although the entire program was good and everybody enjoyed it. The entire musical and literary features of the exercises were up to date, and the instructors possess great literary ability. It is life in this section such is enjoyable by the Christian people. The pastor was called upon, and in eloquent terms he stated why we should train a child in Christian life. He made a comparison of the Germans, how they are trained in childhood for military service, and seemingly are now conquering the world. His talk was timely and instructive. Mr. James A. Robinson, who was assistant superintendent and now the leading deacon, was next called upon. Mr. Robinson gave a short reminence of early childhood, and in glowing terms showed the difference in present day childhood life. He congratulated the children for their success, and the teachers and parents for the excellent arranged program and interest in general church work. He was loudly applauded. Mr. Robinson is quite popular both in church and civic affairs, having lived in the vicinity all his life, returning home to help in life's great battle to uplift his race, after graduating from Wayland, Seninary, now Union University. Despite the heavy downpour of rain the church was crowded, and the parents as well as the children and friends were greatly pleased as well as benefited by the services.

Boston, in Gala Attire, Awaits the Coming of the Commercial Forces of the Race—National Organizer More Reports Progress. Special to The Bee. Boston, Mass., August 12.—"The Hub" is on the eve of one of the greatest meetings in the history of the National Negro Business League. Under the guidance of the local committees the active work of preparation has been completed and nothing now remains but to await the coming of the strangers who are to approach our gates. National Organizer Charles H. Moore has arrived and is daily and nightly in touch with the varied elements of the Boston body politic. He is making his headquarters here, with side trips to Providence, Newport, and the thriving towns of Massachusetts. Speaking of his swing from the South to Boston, stimulating interest in the coming meeting, Mr. Moore said to a press representative: Organizer Moore's Triumphal Tour. "The first leg" of my itinerary as national organizer this year carried me through Virginia and on to Washington and Baltimore. I was given a hearty welcome and was greatly encouraged by the results that seemed to grow out of the talks I have on the purpose and value of the Business League idea. My next labors were M. J. B. ALLEN F. JACKSON, The best known N. gro democrat and punter in this city. I rue down by Ebenczer A. M. E.

Delaware and New York where I feel sure my work, taking on an extensive and an intensive nature, will bring visible and enduring benefit to all interested in the promulgation of the commercial and industrial spirit. "The local leagues in New York and Jersey City have both been reorganized on a more satisfactory and permanent basis than ever before. I invaded virgin territory at Harrisburg, Pa., and succeeded in organizing a chartered league, which will be in much evidence here during convention week. Jersey City and New York will be very largely represented likewise. The Atlantic seaboard from Florida to Maine, with the colored people of New England turning out en masse, will give Boston a gala appearance next week. Boston "Factions" Acting as a Unit for Success. "I have attended several local committee meetings, and have been pleased with the era of good feeling that has been evinced by all concerned. These meetings have been going on for several weeks, and the members have been engaged in making preparations to the reception and welcoming of the reception and welcoming of thousands of delgates and visitors th 15th anniversary of the founding of the National Negro Business league I have heard that there are C THE LEGEND OF THE MISSING MAN Assistant Manager of Howard Theater, will tour Texas with Judge Robert H.

Mr. Byars will leave in a few weeks and make all arrangements. Then Judge Terrell will follow, which will be about the first of November, this year. of Howard Theater, wi ing. He will be advan greatest events in the in a few weeks and ma which will be about "factions" in Boston. If there are, they have kept their manifestations hidden from me. I discover nothing but a unanimous spirit and pre-emently co-operative methods prevailing among all members of the different committees. If there are "factions" here, they have evidently "buried the hatchet," in order to make this meeting one grand success. They are absolutely sincere in this, as their daily actions certainly do square with their professions of harmony. Convention Hall "the Best Yet." "I have made a personal inspection of Convention Hall, corner Garrison and St. Betolph streets, where the business sessions will be held. I am free to confess that in no such hall has the National organization ever before held its annual sessions as it will have its disposal here. It is positively 'the best yet.' It is spacious, beautiful and conveniently located. The different appointments for convention purposes are par excellent. "As I see it, the league has never approached an annual meeting under more auspicious circumstances than those it now faces. Boston will do its full duty by the visitors who honor it with their presence here next week." Don't forget the Republican rally at Eureka Park, Anacostia, D. C. September S. Great men are to speak. B. B. BYARS. League Meeting in Circulation. Through the courtesy of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the printed program of the Boston meeting of the National Negro Business League has been distributed among the officers and friends of the organization in this city. A rich treat is foreshadowed and the offering of pleasure and profit at the "Hub" is so attractively presented that it bids fair to considerably augment the delegation that has already "signed articles" to go next week. That Mr. Scott has done some great work for the league this year is evidenced by the circular letters that have been spread broadcast over the country and by the alluring newsletters that have been sent to all of the colored newspapers of the land. Mr. Allston and Editor J. Thomas Harrison at Boston, Mr. Scott at the Tuskegee Helm, and Prof. C. H. Moore on the road have done herculean work and if the Boston meeting is not the finest and best of the series it will not be the fault of the "exploitation" work these energetic gentlemen have been doing in the past six months. The program indicates that among the Washington speakers will be Mr. Daniel Freeman on "Photography as a Business;" and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs on "The Appearance of Store and Team a Drawing Card;" and Mr. Henry Lassiter on "Poultry Raising for the Market." Dr. Washington Cannot Serve as Juror of Award at 'Frisco. On account of engagements made a long time ahead, Dr. Booker T. Washington was compelled to decline the invitation of the authorities of the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco to serve on the jury of awards. REV. S..L. CARROTHERS. Ministerial Politician in Town. Rev. S. L. Carrothers, pastor of Varkick Institutional Temple, is in the city on a visit to his family. He is working up his great colored conference which it to take place in May, 1916. It is understood that Dr. Carrohtres will be the next Bishop of the A M. E. Zion Convention. This election will take place in May in Louisville, Ky. The opposition to Dr. Carrothers before was that, he' was too outspoken on the race question. When it comes to an independent expression of thoughts, Dr. Carrothers and Bishop Walters take the lead among many colored Americans. Dr. Carrothers is in good health, vigorous and outspoker as usual. Since his arrival he has had from five to six invitations to preach, but he says that he has come for rest and nothing more. Augustus W. Gray, Geo. C. Scurlock and all leading Zionites are for Dr. Carrothers for Bishop. Howard Dental Parlors Do Their Own Work. The expert dentists at the Howard Dental Parlors, corner Seventh and T, do not send their crown and bridge or plate work out to dental laboratories to be made by mechanics without dental training, and who have never seen the patient's mouth. This is the custom with nearly all other dentists in the city. Only dentists who have the expert ability to do their own work are permitted to work in this institution, which has the best equipped laboratory in the city for their use. Therefore, the patients at this institution receive the most satisfactory dental work to be obtained, completed by the man who is operating in the mouth, and is familiar with conditions, besides possessing the dental training necessary to see the whole job through. That's why the work is guaranteed. The patient saves the additional expense that the other dentists charge to pay the laboratory man. The Howard Dental Parlors can do dental work better and cheaper than and better than any place in the city. Open until 10 o'clock. See sample work in show case downstairs. STATE BAZAAR. The first annual state bazaar and carnival will be held Thursday, September 2, on the farm of Stephen Watkins, Elliott City, Md. This will be one of the greatest events in the history of the citizens of Elliott City. Automobiles from this city and their owners will take part in this bazaar and carnival.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS ‘There {s some kind of suppressed In- digestion in this town. Of course, the poor teacher in the public schools is anxious to know where he stands and what next year, {I mean next Septem- ber, the school year,) will bring forth. Dr. Thurston, I understand, Is looking around for a new assistant superin- tendent of the colored schools. He is thoroughly satisfied that two of differ- ent views cannot sct with ease in the same room or teach in the same room. ‘There must be one head with a set curriculum. Just who the new assist- ant will be Is a question of conjecture, * but, T tell you there is a great deal of talk about Prof. L. M. Hershaw, who came very near being on the board of education. Prof. Hershaw has some kind of ability. He would make an uptodate superintendent of schools. He knows how to talk and what to talk about. “He is an educator of abil- ity. Ls ‘Then there is Prof. Montgomery, who is a great favorite with the teach- ers. He would.have nothing but har- mony in the schools. My friends, Bill Houston and Jim Cobb. seem to be lonesome. Speaking about Houston and Cobb, I have found them to be socially good fellows. ‘There was a time when Bill Houston could have been a great man. He im- _agines himself greater than other peo: ple regarded him. When a person Imagines that he {s greater than his Creator it is hard to convince him upon the spot that he has mistaken his calling. Take a man who has been used to good society and place him among~the select, he soon becomes uncollable. Everybody looks small tc him. Now speaking about sudden ed ucation fs like placing a small man ir a big job. He walks like a peacock and acts like a monkey. He don't recognize his old friends and every body with whom he formerly associ ated looks small to him. It {s amus ing sometimes to see how big som¢ people imagine they are. Theee ar what you call shams. This town i full of shams, and indeed, they are it the way of progressive people. The new boat for the people is doin: a land office business. How strang it is that our chocoate complexion cannot purchase a boat of their own They must depend upon the whit man. I was at the wharf last wee and witnessed the crowd that accom panied the Doves to River View. Ther were some beauties. Many of th chocolates looked, acted and talke lke doves. I never saw so many prett girls in all my life. Of cqurse, ther were a few hard faces, but after dar! you would not have noticed them. Thé removal of Dr. Wm. Tindal from the secretaryship of the boar of Distict Commissioners was a blot to the Republican party. Dr. Tindal is a man who was born at the sam time that our local government cam into existence.

The powers of Europe may do anything, even to the extent of sinking the ships and killing citizens, regardless of their station in life, and all that this great and brave (!) government will do is to, write a note and say, Please don't do it again, because if you do we shall be compelled to relinquish our trade relations with you. Germany repeats the offense, and continues to repeat the offense with greater severity, and the protests of the American government continues. But here is poor little Haiti, with a handful of black citizens, having a fight among themselves, and in the fight 160 are killed. This great (!) and powerful (!) government dispatched her great warships to the scene of trouble, lands her marines, takes possession of the little negro government, and proceeds to chastise the negroes and threaten them with extinguishment if this great government. is not permitted to execute a treaty to handle the finances of the black republic, and intervene whenever the little negro republic has a fight or disturbance among themselves. The United States had no more right to land United States marines upon Haitiit soil than it has to interfere with Germany, Great Britain, or any country where the allies are fighting. If this government had attempted to land marines upon European soil, or even to send a ship upon the waters of any of the powers, the intruders would either have been given a spanking or been driven from the high seas in humiliation. For over a year Mexico has killed, murdered, and assassinated citizens of the United States, and continues to commit offenses in violation of law and order, and yet there has been no intervention by this government. The landing of marines upon Haitiit soil by this government was one of the most diabolical and unconstitutional acts that has ever been perpetrated upon an unfortunate republic. Haiti is a little republic all alone, so to speak. All the harm the natives do is to themselves. If these white money sharks and speculators would keep out and allow Haiti to manage and govern her own people without the This government has been seeking a coaling station at Mole* St. Nicholas for years. The late Frederick Douglass, then minister to this little republic, refused to enter into a scheme to secure the ambitions desire of this republic, which caused the enmity of the then American Secretary of State, Mr. Blaine. Mr. Douglass was loyal to these poor blacks, as well as he was to the government. He refused to be a traitor to this struggling republic. The presumption is that a slice will be cut from this black republic before the United States marines leave. If this government wants to act the part of a humanitarian, go to Europe and stop the wholesale butchery there. There would not be enough left at the United States to fill the State of New York if any attempt of interference were made. What right had the United States to seize the Haitien custom-houses and place in charge the paymaster from a United States ship? Would the United States dare to land marines upon German, Russian, or British soil at this or any other time? Would the United States dare to seize the custom-houses of these warring nations and place a United States officer in charge? This is a great country to do small things to small nations. Mexico has invited the United States to intervene. Why hesitate? This is best known to the United States. A warm reception stands upon every hill, mountain, and valley. So greedy is this country that poor little Haiti must be seized to satisfy the hunger of a great (!) and powerful nation. This is another administration blunder. THEY ARE CONVINCED. The Bee is quite satisfied that the colored voters throughout this country are convinced that there is no salvation for him in the democratic party. The conduct of the present administration, that is, not all of it, is not what the so-called Negro democrat or those who became dissatisfied with the republican party and supported the present democratic administration, think it is. What has the so called Negro democrat gained? Bishop Alexander Walters assured Negro democracy that it would be cared for. What is the result? Every man who supported the Wilson administration and the party that placed Mr. Wilson in power, that is every colored man, has been dismissed from the office of Internal Revenue, of which Hon. Charles W. Anderson was head, has been dismissed. There was one above all others. Mr. Ralph Langston should have been retained. This colored democrat was the first man, white or black, to organize a Wilson democratic club. He was, no doubt, the only colored democrat who contributed his own money to the democratic campaign fund and first among the few that refused a money consideration for expenses from the democratic finance committee and the first to be decapitated. Had colored men known that the policy of the democrat was to be of this character, The Bee is of the opinion that only fools and idiots would have fallen victims to democratic deceptions. The administration claims that it cannot find a suitable colored man for recorder of deeds. This is an easy matter. If the administration is looking for a race man and one that was among the very first to declare for the democratic nominees in 1912, Rev. Waldron is the man. He is a local man, morally clean and a man who would conduct the office upon a high basis. If the administration is looking for a lawyer and a man of national character, Prof, R. T. Greener of Chicago would fill the bill. He would dignify the office. If he is looking for a New York man of ability and a colored democrat of long standing, Mr. Ralph Langston would be an honor to the office. So there is no excuse. The Bee could name a dozen more than it has already done. If the administration is anxious to keep its promises with the colored democrat it has an excellent opportunity by selecting a colored man recorder of deeds. Mr. Wilson has said time and against that colored man should have the office. He assured Bishop Walters that a colored man should be appointed. Now what's he waiting for? There are two patriotic republicans who should receive medals of honor from the colored people: Cram of the sixth auditor's office, and Dutton, deputy recorder of deeds. They are entitled to it. The colored people are praying for them both. Will their prayers be answered? The prayers of the righteous always prevail. Let us hope. AWAKEN? That is the question among the loyal supporters of the republican party. Today the colored voter had better open his eyes and see in which direction he is walking. The Bee wants to see a united republican party. The colored voter has been played with for some time. He has a mission to fill and a duty to perform. It is about time for him to awake and look about him. Does he realize that he is in a state of depression and humiliation? We must be up and doing. At Eureka Park, Anacosita, D. C., Wednesday, August 8, the Capital City United Republican Clubs will hold an old time republican rally. The addresses will be made by men of national reputation. This country never was in such a desperate condition and never have parties and peoples been so divided. The Capital City Republicans Clubs will have men at their rally who are able to discuss national questions. Every citizen should be enlightened. We should know how to vote and for whom to vote. Read and then come and hear. HON. GEORGE E. DOWNY. The elevation of Hon. George F. Downey to the Court of Claims is no doubt one of the best appointments there has been made by this administration. On everyside nothing can be heard but words of the highest commendation. He must be good because every colored man in the Treasury Department sings his praises and expressed no regrets if God had taken William to heaven. There is no man any more qualified for the position of Judge of the Court of Claims than Mr. George E. Downy. 1916 Meeting of Business League May Come Here. If the plans of President Daniel Freeman, of the District Branch of the National Negro Business League, go through as now seems likely, Washington will probably ask the privilege of being host for the 1918 meeting of the national organization. It is understood that aformal invitation will be extended to the National League by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, the Board of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce, the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance, representing all of the churches and many fraternal and civic bodies, the entire list covering every phase of the official, business, religious, educational and professional life of the nation's capital. Washington is the "show place" of the country and for years there has been an ardent desire on the part of the hosts that have a chance to meet with the organization in this "city of concentric circles," where the president of the United States, the Supreme Court, Cabinet, Congress and the diplomatic corps have their habitat, together with the eminent scholars and captains of commerce of the Negro race. It is argued that a city where colored school teachers and federal officeholders grow like unto the leaves of Vallambrosa and where the colored people draw more money per annum from the government than anywhere else on earth, the colored business man ought to have an Eldorado. If this is not a fact, the friends of the movement to bring the League here say it ought to be, and that the presence of an army of thrifty and prosperous colored business men from other sections of the country for a week or so will so stimulate an awaken the masses and the classes that great permanent good will flow out of their visit. The commercial leaders are determined to extend the invitation to the League and will leave no stone unturned to have the organization come and enjoy the open-handed welcome knows how to put forth when the right people enter our gates. Howard University, the public schools and the Y. M. C. A. join with the business and professional elements in urging the League to be the guest of the nation's capital next year. PROF. PERSON OF DURHAM. He Tours from Durham, N. C., to Washington, via New York.—The Well-known Educator Is Accompanied by Wife and Brother. Prof. W. G. Pearson, principal of the Whitted school at Durham, N. C., and of the best educators in the South, and a man of congeniality, accompanied by his most amiable wife and brother, who is a man of science, motored from Durham, N. C., last week, stopping in Richmond, Va., and arriving in the city August 4, and are stopping at 210 T street, where the party was royally entertained. They left Monday night for Atlantic City, N. J., where they will remain several days. Then they will motor to New York and other eastern cities, and moor back to Durham, August 13. Prof. Pearson has great faith in his good friend, Dr. J. E. Shepard, and speaks encouragingly of his ultimate success with the National Training School. Mr. J. L. Pearson, brother of Prof. Pearson, is travelling in the interest of the Royal Knights of King David. There is no man in North Carolina any more loyal to the welfare of his people than Prof. Pearson. He speaks encouragingly of the great North Carolina Insurance Company, of which Mr. Spaulding is manager. He has great hopes for the future greatness of Dunham and his people. SMART SET FILM COMPANY. Great Innovation for Colored Americans.—Dramas of High-Class Shown. Colored people are finally to be prominently identified with the motion picture business. Well-known business men of this city, associated with expert film producers, have formed the Smart Set Film Company, Inc., which will soon be in position to release weekly a two-reel comedy with all colored actors. The company has closed a five-years' contract with Sherman H. Dudley, the famous Negro comedian, long featured with Gus Hill's Smart Set Company, and he will be supported by a strong company of Negro performers. The Smart Set Film Company has already opened a studio and executive offices at 1333 V street, where its first scenario is being placed in film form. It is comedy, entitled "The Porter," which, aside from containing a succession of externally laughable situations, will, it is said, present bits of scenery in and about Washington which will be of both historic and artistic interest. This production will be followed by others in which Southern plantation, river and mountain scenes will abound and of which clean Negro comedy will be the dominating feature. It is predicted that soon a lively interest will develop as to who will become the Bushman, the Pickford and the Chaplin of the colored motion picture world. When it is remembered to what extent writers of romance, of drama and o' comis opera have relied upon Negro humor for the comedy element of their productions, it appears strange that this prolific source of comedy has been so long neglected by producers of motion pictures. And, not only has the source of comedy been neglected, but the hundreds of thousands of colored satrams of motion picture theaters have been ignored as well. That these will appreciate seeing Negro actors in plays other than those which are calculated to cast a slur upon the race goes without saying. At the same time these plays, it is evident, will be popular in white theaters, for already some of the best-known managers of the coventry are clamoring for the "first run" of the Negro comedy reels. Dudley is himself a stockholder of the Smart Set Film Company and it is believed that an offering of the company's treasury stock, which has been made to provide capital for greatly extending its operations, will be largely subscribed for by colored investors. In the last few years some immense fortune have been made by men in the film producing business and it is contended that there has been no field of greater possibilities than are in the one to be occupied by the Smart Set Film Company. The Fairmount Heights M. E. church has elected a full quote of delegates to the annual District Conference, which will be held at Emory Grove, Montgomery county, Md., September 7 to 12, 1915. The following elected delegates to represent the several interests of he church: Prof. James F. Armstrong, Sunday School; Mr. Richard Johnson, district steward; Rev. W. H. Addison, local preacher; Mrs. Blanche Lewis, Epworth League. The fourth Sunday was set apart as Men's Day at the M. E. church. Mr. W. A. Brooks was appointed chairman of the committee to make the arrangements. He appointed the following brthren to assist him: James F. Armstrong, W. H. Addison, Edward Briscoe, W. A. Brooks, James A. Campbell, J. W. Holbrook, Richard Johnson, Mr. Lewis, Geo. W. Paterson, Phillip P. Watkins. If the colored people in Cedar Heights would employ Dr. W. W. Jones and Dr. Brady when in need of a physician, they would not be so often embarrassed with going to law. Mr. Thomas N. Brown, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Fairmount Heights, departed this life Sunday night, August 8. 1915. Poet and Playwright Poet and Playwright Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 10—Mr. Adolphus Johnson, poet and playwright, and author of "The Silver Chord" poems, of Philadelphia, was the star attraction at the big concert given on Thursday evening at Fitzgerald Auditorium, Atlantic City, N.J. More than one thousand people were present, and gave Mr. Johnson a rousing reception. He made an impression as an elocutionist, and was listened to with rapt attention. Probably no young man ever received as much applause and appreciation for talent as did Mr. Johnson. He has a wonderful voice, with perfect articulation, and delivered each number with the greatest of ease, which showed careful training. He is earnest and purposeful in everything he does. The rare delicacy and authority of his interpretation of several of his own masterpieces revealed Johnson at his best. His poetry was brought out in masterly shadings, subtle accentuations, and with fine feeling, which was heartily enjoyed by every one present. A SUDDEN DEATH. The Washington Sun Didn't Live to Fill a Long Felt Want—Too Clean to Live. The Washington Sun, that has been flirting around town for a few weeks with J. Finley Wilson and his Eagle, died suddenly two weeks ago with an almight called "financial want" to keep it alive. The Sun has been boasting of its virtues and cleanliness too much of a shock, which the community could not stand. The Sun was too clean to live, Finley Wilson is a great flirt. Ever since he involuntarily retired from the Sun he has kept up a continuous flirtation. Now he is its chief mourner. Quite likely he will apply for a new license and again join the holy bonds of bankruptcy. The Sun and Eagle have the heartiest congratulations of The Bee. Did The Washington Sun get burned in the Eagle's nest? Alas, for Finley, what are your thoughts? NOT AT ALL The Washington Bee talks as if it thinks Correspondent R. W. Thompson is a "martyr" of some kind. As the versatile pennsith tips the beam at a cool 200, he appears to be a healthy sort of a "martyr." He is eminently correct in letting the Bee and others do the worrying. HON. WILLIAM HARRISON Hon. William Harrison,*of Oklahoma City, Okla., who argued the famous "Jim Crow" case before the Supreme Court of the United States last October, will address the citizens of Washington Monday evening, August 23, at 8:30 o'clock at the Mt. Carmel Baptist church, Third and I streets northwest. WEST WASHINGTON. The church clerk of the First Baptist church has received an official letter of acceptance to the call of the pastorate of Rev. Jas. R. L. Diggs, who was elected on Friday evening, July 30, 1915. The membership are delighted with the acceptance of their new pastor, who came to them so highly recommended. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Prof. Wm. H. Richards, Law Department Howard University; Dr. Chas. H. Marshall and Rev. E. E. Ricks, D.D., all speak of him as a man of much ability, with excellent church leadership. The congregation was much embarrassed at the appearance of a circular, "The Call," after the morning services and it is said the obtrusive member is to be tried for the appearance of the circular of offense to the church congregation, who is to greet their new pastor about the first of September. The Daughters Sphinx of the Universal Mason in American Jurisdiction held a three-days session at their Temple, Penn avenue, last week. Visiting delegates were here from New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Florida and Georgia and District of Columbia. Thanksgiving services were held Sunday night; the sermon was delivered by Rev. Wm. H. Gaines, the eloquent pastor at Harrisburg, Pa., who returned to his delightful field of labor Wednesday with many congratulations from his many friends in this city. Mr. Samuel C. V. Height, better known as "The Silver King," of Lynchburg, and Atlantic City, N. J., is spending several weeks in Washington, on his vacation, from the Virginia Hotel, Lynchburg, Va. Mr. We Jay Bundara, the famous cugur specialist, from Celon, India, London, and formerly with the New Ebbtll hotel this city, is doing well at Cafe Beaux, Sheephead Bay. Mr. William Active is spending the summer at Newport, R. I. Mr. Samuel Glover is doing well at the St. James hotel, this city, since the death of the late Mr. Cabiness of that hotel. Col. Edward Robinson, of Washington, D. C., has been visiting his relatives and friends at Summerset Beach, Va., for the past week. The "Gold Room" of the New Edbitt is going under extensive repairing for the fall and winter season. Mr. William Tompkins and Mr. Jas. Bridgett have been transferred to the main cafe since the closing of the above named room. Mr. George Robinson, a well-known hotel and railroad man of this city, is showing great progress at the Dumbarton Club where he has been steward for the last two years. Mr. Robinson is given credit as being one of the best colored stewards in the country. The Doves Saturday afternoon excursion to River View proved a wonderful success. This popular dancing class is well known and patronized by the best people of Washington. Last Saturday was the first of a series of weekly excursions that have been arranged for the patrons of the Doves. Many persons were left at the wharf, although the boat did not leave until 2:45 p. m. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. The Prince George's County School Board held a meeting at Upper Marlboro, Tuesday, Aug. 3, 1915, with all the members present. Prof. E. S. Burroughs, the secretary and school superintendent, presented a large amount of matters to the Board to be passed upon; and it was said that more business was transacted and a greater number of orders were passed than in quite a while. Professor James F. Armstrong the colored school supervisor, was present [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and tie, with a serious expression.] REV. WILBANKS. Who is in New Haven.

SOME TERSE SAYINGS OF THE "BLACK BILLY SUNDAY" SOME TERSE SAYINGS OF THE BLACK TULLE than a June Bug does about German submarine; "If you white people would welcome us to your churches as we welcome you to our churches, some of our sisters would become so happy that they would shout the French heels off of their shoes on your Brussels carpets." "The reason why some people pray and never get any answer to their prayers, is because they have not paid their phone bll and God has disconnected them." "Hell is as necessary as a jail, because God knows that some people will not obey the divine law, any more than they do the civil and municipal laws. Hence hell is a necessity." "The Bible tells us to grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and the reason why some of you are the same old sixes and sevens that you were when you were converted, is because your trolley is off the wire." "Some people are like the old woman in the south, who drank beer in the winter to keep warm, and in the summer to keep cool." "Some people are the Devil's football.

Illuminating Power of Scripture. Simple, Harmonious and Reasonable Are the Teachings of the Word. Syracuse, N. Y. Aug. 8.—Pastor Russell preached here today on the text. "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth." (John 17:17. He spoke is follows: PASTOR RUSSELL Today we find that the great majority of people think very little about the Word of God, so that as a matter of fact our great colleges teach nothing pertaining to the Bible. Years ago it was quite customary that the Bible should have a prominent place in the schools, and the pupils were all under religious influences; for nearly every college was under the control of some denomination. This gave them a sectarian blas however; and to whatever extent they were sectarian they were not free to study Truth. But the world in its wisdom has been leaving everything pertaining to the Bible. Today our college-bred men are the greatest opponents of the Word of God. The great majority of those graduated from our colleges within the past thirty years are total unbelievers in the Bible as God's Inspired Word. Many of them are ministers, who select their texts from the Bible and who retain a certain respect for it. Their parents venerated it, and so the sons still cherish it as they would an old friend. They regard it as they would a pair of old shoes that their great-grandfather had used—not that the shoes would have any intrinsic value, but that they were great-grandfather's shoes. Then the Bible is a convenient place from which to get texts. They know, too, that a great many people are not college-bred and still reverence the Old Book. They like to condescend to the extent of showing that they do not altogether ignore the sentiments of the common people. If cross-examined carefully, probably ninety-five of every hundred of these would say, "I do not-believe the Bible is the Word of God." Although many ministers do not so express themselves in the pulpit, they do so in private. As an instance of clerical unbelief in the teachings of Scripture take the case of Rev. Dr. Aked. This well-known clergyman moved some years ago to the Pacific Coast, and became president of the Church Federation in San Francisco. Both orally and in print this gentleman expressed his utter unbelief in the prehuman existence of our Lord Jesus—his belief being that our Lord was merely an ordinary man, a fine man. This view was published broadcast. The next day somebody came out in the San Francisco papers and said that with such sentiments Dr. Aked should resign his position as president of the Church Federation, that certainly nobody would be desirable in that position who did not believe that Jesus had more than human nature—who thus discarded the Bible. The day following, Dr. Aked resigned, saying that he did not wish to offend any body, etc. The Church Federation of ministers met, and re-elected him on the basis of his profession that he did not believe that Jesus Christ had either a prehuman existence or a superior birth. As far as I know, Dr. Aked is still president of the Church Federation; and those ministers that re-elected him, seventy-eight out of a hundred, were willing to come out in public and say so. Why True Religion is Discounted. The point to which I am calling attention is this: The colleges and the ministers have abandoned the Word of God. The preachers like to select a text from it, just as they might or other occasions quote from Shakespeare. So far as we may judge, this is the general sentiment amongst them. Are they then sanctified by the Truth, the Word of God? If they declare that God has given a message to the world or to the Church, where do they find it, if not in the Bible? The majority of the preachers do not believe in personal inspiration, except in the sense in which some people may be said to have a sort of intuition for music, art, and so might be called in spired that artist was inspired when painting that picture or composing that tune. But as for any belief in such inspiration as the Bible teaches—that "holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit," not knowing what they were saying—I doubt that five per cent. of the ministers I must believe the Bible to be the Word of God. (2 Peter 1:21; 1 Peter 1:10-12. With the religious teachers and preachers in this condition of unbelief, is I any wonder that true religion is at a f discount with the people? It would be strange if matters were different. Jesus said, "When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith upon the earth?" You are witnesses with me that He has come and has found very little faith. -2 Peter 3:2-9. "The Wise Shall Understand." Away back in the time of the Prophet Daniel, God declared that in the Time of the End He would grant a special blessing upon Bible students. (Daniel 12:1-10.) And here we are, down in the Time of the End! Many are running to and fro in automobiles, electric trams, steam railroads, etc. Knowledge is increasing everywhere. But the worldly-wise do not understand for these things of God's Word hidden from the wise and prodigal, and revealed unto babes—those not too wise in matters pertaining to this world (Matt. 11:25.) These accept the Word of God and are guided by it. To these therefore, has come a great blessing. Our Lord also spoke about the end of the Gospel Age. His parable of The Ten Virgins refers not to the world but to the Church—the wise and the foolish in the Church of Christ. (Matthew 25:1-13.) In the end of the Age all the virgins, all justified believers, were ready to meet Him. But the Bridegroom tarried, and for a while all the virgins slumbered and slept. Then came the Message, "Behold the Bridegroom"—He is here! All the virgins awakened. The wise virgins had oil in their vessels. They trimmed their lamps (Psalm 119:105); they saw the Truth, and were prepared to follow the Bridegroom in to the Marriage of the Lamb. But the foolish virgins did not have the light. When they asked the wise virgins for oil, the wise virgins declared that they could not spare it. The oil represents the Holy Spirit and the enlightenment which it brings. The foolish virgins go to buy when they give time for study and investigation—time taken from business, pleasure and worldly affairs, that they may obtain the oil which God is pleased that His people should have. Those who do not find time for investigation do not wish to have the oil, the light. Although they are true Christians, yet they are not willing to pay the price and get the oil. Whoever is now rejoicing in the light of Present Truth will testify that it cost him something—something of worldly influence, time, attention thought—to have the oil and the light, to make ready to go in to the Marriage. How well the Master understood the present situation! God wished the light to cost something. To some of older time our Lord said, "Sit down and count the cost"—how much the light will cost you—what discipleship will cost. After having put your hand to the plow, do not look longingly back to the things of the world. God is not pleased with such service. Whoever prefers the world, the flesh and the Devil may stay with them. During the Millennial Age the Lord will deal with that class, and will give them mercy, blessings. But now He is calling for a special class that delight to do the Father's will, that do not need to be urged, pushed and whipped. They must have the spirit of the Master, of whom it is written: "I delight to do Thy will, O My God. Thy Law is written in My heart." The Church Called. Not Compelled. God is not seeking to deceive people or to force them into the Kingdom During this Gospel Age He has merely sent forth His Message to gather out those who wished to respond. God has been taking out a people for Hinnane—using no force, no compulsion merely His Word. We heard the call speaking peace through Jesus Christ Our hearts responded, and we came back into harmony with God. The Word informed us that through the death of His Son God had made at arrangements for covering our sins and that He was willing to receive us just as if we had not been slimers-willing to take us into His family and make us His heirs, joint-heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord. But all this was merely the voice, the promise, of God. There was nothing to insist upon our becoming children of God; and if we were received into His family it was because we willingly, intentionally, gave ourselves to Him. All through the Gospel Age the Word of God has gone forth. If He had sent force, He could quickly have gathered all that He desired. After a few miracles people would have waked up and said, "What will happen to us if we do not get right with God?" That class will be dealt with by and by. Messiah's Kingdom will manifest the Power and the Wisdom of God. The Truth a Satisfying Portion. The Truth a Satisfying Portion. Coming back to our text, we see that the Lord sent forth His Word, to accomplish a certain mission. His Word is Truth—not truth on every subject, but on the most important ones. Of these important subjects the principal one-is that which God purposes to teach all His intelligent creatures—obedience to Himself. All other education will prove to be valueless, perhaps injurious, unless associated with obedience to God. The world is becoming very much dis contented. People are unhappy; they crave more money and less work. Nobody is satisfied except true Christians. The majority of professed Christians are under the delusions of the present time. But the true Christian has that which is satisfactory. Having given his all to the Lord, he has received the blessed assurance that all things shall work together for good to them that love God, to the called according to His purposes. Therefore he is content to let the Heavenly Father shape his affairs. Should he get out of work, God knows how to provide employment. He could feed Ellijah by the brook, the ravens bringing the Prophet the necessary food. -1 Kings 17:5-6. One cannot fellowship with the world, and at the same time be great in the Lord. We prefer to be amongst those to whom the Master will say "Well done, good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make the ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." The knowledge that God is for us and loves us is a satisfying portion to heart and mind. Having left the world to follow Jesus and daily seeking to walk in His steps, the Church class are loved of the Father They are the ones whom He has called The Hidden Mystery. In the beginning God created the Lord Jesus, the Logos, (Colossians 1:15; Revelation 3:14). Then the Logos His active Agent, made the different orders of spirit beings, and finally man. (John 1:13.) After man had fallen into sin, God said, "We will let him have his experience with death and its concomitants. In due time I will send a great Redeemer, to ransom Adam and all his posterity. During the Seventh Thousand-Year Day of man's existence this Redeemer will take charge of humanity. Meantime I will have nothing to do with them until they are restored to perfection." But while God was thus resting from His earthly creation, He considered it a good time to bring in a New Creation. The first of this New Creation was the One who redeemed mankind He passed through His experiences and testings eighteen hundred and more years ago. But this was not all of the Divine Plan. As the Apostle says there was a secret which God had kept hidden from before the foundation of the world—His Purpose to have not merely a great Redeemer for mankind but a people taken out from amongst humanity to be the Church of the First-borns. These were to constitute the New Creation, of which the Redeemer would become the Head. This work of gathering the Church class has been progressing for nearly nineteen centuries. All who have been begotten of the Holy Spirit are members of the New Creation, to whom old things have passed away, and all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17.) From the very moment of their spirit-begetting, the light of the Truth begins to enlighten the minds of these New Creatures. They begin to see something of the lengths and breadths, the heights and depths, of God's character. It is a revelation. The Word of God is illuminating; the Holy Spirit has great illuminating power, and gradually fills more and more with the light of the knowledge of the glory of God. Sanctified by the Truth. Of this class God says, "Gather My saints together unto Me, those who have made a Covenant with Me by sacrifice." (Psalm 50:5.) He does not say. Those who have made a covenant to enter some church system, although some may have made a covenant with God and ignorantly with some church system also. Many people like to count themselves in amongst God's people, yet they have never entered into a covenant with Him. Apparently they think that they will receive the same reward as, will those who have entered into such a covenant; but they are mistaken. No one will receive the Prize of the High Calling except those who have entered the race in the proper way and have run according to the prescribed rules. Whoever makes this Covenant on Sacrifice is walking in the Master's footsteps. Our Lord made it at the age of thirty years. At Jordan He gave Himself, a perfect man, His time. His will—everything—to do the Father's will, whatever that might be. The Father indicated His acceptance by begetting our Lord with the Holy Spirit and by giving Him the enlightenment that goes with it. Whoever would be His footstep follower must also covenant to give his time, his influence, his money—everything—to the Lord. Then the Lord says, "I will place in your care those things which you have given Me. If you demonstrate your faithfulness as steward of these little things, I will know that you can be trusted with the greater things of the Klingon. If you try to withhold what you have consecrated you have not the spirit for which I am looking. I am seeking those who love Me and desire to serve me." From first to last the Bible is in her mony with itself. This is God's Message. This is His way of reaching His Elect, whom He desires to take out of the world. For nineteen centuries the Church has been engaged in calling men apart from the world that they might gain Divine favor and joint-heir ship with Jesus in His Kingdom. "Sanctify them through Thy Truth Thy Word is Truth." The world does not have this Message; therefore its truth cannot sanctify. Mankind are seeking otherwise, and are getting more or less confused and further away from God through their studies. It is a remarkable fact that we seldom find any one well versed in the science who has any faith in God or in the Bible. Men have only the truth that the Prophet Moses discounted. (He brews 11:26.) This is the world's portion today. But the Science which will sanctify toward God, the Science in which we are in harmony with God, in which we are now happy and will be during the Time of Trouble, is ours. Faithful is He who has called us, who will also sanctify us, according to the riches of His grace in Christ Jesus our Lord—1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24. POLITICIANS AND FALSE RELIGION 1 Kings 12:25-33.—August 15. Revolt of Israel's Ten Tribes Great Mistake—God's Deallings With Typical Israel—Jewish Remnant In Early Church—Divine Plan Did Not Fail. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any groc image."—Ezodus 10:1, 5. EROBOAM was not a bad man in the sense of sympathizing with viciousness and crime or of wishing to enslave his people. On the contrary, he was a man of courage and love of liberty, who desired to deliver his people from what he considered, oppression. Under his leadership, ten tribes of Israel revolted from the House of David, with the avowed object of being free from the oppression of the kings. This was a great mistake, as is every move which ignores God and His arrangements. The Divine arrangement for the nation was that its af- ment for the native fairs were all to be under Divine care as God's kingdom, with David's family as God's representatives. Gradually, however, the religious interests had gathered about Jerusalem. The more religious of the people liked to be near the Temple, especially as led by the Lord. A under the Law they were obligated to go there to worship at least once or twice a year. Whatever were Jeroboam's good thoughts respecting the preservation of the rights and liberties of the people, he quickly manifested the spirit of a politician. He reasoned that the going of the people to Jerusalem to worship would mean that sooner or later they would be drawn back to the kings of David's line; and that to preserve his own power he must establish a new religious cult. Two golden calves were prepared, one in the north and the other in the south, that thus the people might think that worship and sacrifice could be performed anywhere. Moreover, he arranged for religious festivals at times different by about a month from the celebrations at Jerusalem. His people readily fell in with his plan. It seems only too true that much of the religion of the masses is but a form of godliness. Were God's Plans Defeated? Many might be inclined to say that God's plans were thus defeated by an ordinary man; but the Scriptures show that the very opposite was the case—that God's plans were forwarded by Jeboobam's opposition. Let us see. God had promised Abraham that through his posterity ultimately all mankind should be blessed. Four hundred years elapsed before any movement was made in this direction. By that time Israel was in bondage in Egypt. Through Moses God sent them word that He was ready to fulfil the Promise made to Abraham. They gladly followed Moses to Mount Sinai, where the Lord entered into a covenant with them, that if they would keep IIs Law perfectly He would qualify them to be the promised Seed of Abraham. But like all imperfect men, they could not keep God's Law. Then God promised to send Messiah, whose Kingdom would bless them and afford them opportunity of sharing in the Abrahamic Promise. God's dealings with Israel were, therefore, of a typical character. Their Atonement Day, their Law, their mediator, their sacrifices, all typified better sacrifices under a better Mediator, Christ. God's entire course with them was with a view to preparing them to be associated with Messiah in His Kingdom. The deflection of Jeroboam and the ten tribes drove into the territory of the two tribes the most loyal of the Israelites. To these the idolatries established by Jeroboam were properly repulsive. This continued for years, until the ten tribes went into captivity to Babylon, when more of the people gravitated towards Jerusalem. Later on, God overthrew the kingdom of Judah, and allowed these people to go into captivity; but they preserved their religious sentiments while in Babylon. The Return From Babylon. When the, Lord delivered the people from Babylon, only about 50,000 re- turned to Palestine; and they represented the faithful; who trusted in God and sacrificed all Babylonian advantages, returning to a desolate land. These became the nucleus of a new people who, in the days of Jesus, were in wonderful ```markdown ``` readiness for Him. Approximately 25,000 accepted Christ, with a full consecration unto death, as His footstep followers. The remainder of the nation being then cut off from special favor, the door opened to the Gentiles, that they might become fellow-heirs with the 25,000 consecrated Israelites. The value of God's dealing with Israel is evidenced in the fact that it has required 1,800 years to gather from all other nations the remainder of the Elect, the total of which is 144,000. Thus our lesson indicates no failure on God's part, but wisdom, in permitting the rebellion of the ten tribes. Soon the elect Church, the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, will be completed; and then God's Promise to him will begin to be fulfilled.—Gal. 3:8, 16. 29. 353 Foreign and Domestic Wines and Distillates FIFTY YEARS IN BUSINESS Largest and Most Selected Stock in the Entire Country Prompt Auto Deliveries to all Sections 909 Seventh St., N.

Clark THE PASSING SHOW IN WASHINGTON. The S. H. Gray Repertoire Show opened a two weeks' engagement at Dudley's Monday night, and are packing the people in. The company includes Sam Gray, the elongated comedian, who is an artist on the stage and a producer of inexhaustible variety back of the stage; Miss Ora Dunlop, a singing comedienne and especially in society roles in the sketches; Miss Helen Bumbray, who is equally gifted in parts calling for "straight" work and in black face; Miss Rena Wills, another versatile young woman, who doubles with Miss Bumbray in a sister act, and is capital in black-face also; James Riley, a female impersonator, who fools the wisest of them, and his partner, John Hudgins, who, as the "Black Charlie Chaplin," is a "scream." both are dancers par excellence. Following the individual specialties by these entertainers, the show concludes with the side-splitting force, "A Woman with a Habit," introducing Sam Gray in his immutable "Baby Doll" role. Last week the Gray aggregation broke all records at the Iceland. First and K southwest, and a return engagement is in sight there, if they can find any open dates in the next few weeks. The Howard is offering a fine show this week. The toplinners are Lulu Coates and her company of four. The Mildari family of six Japanese wizards put on a gymnastic, magic and juggling act that caught the crowd. The orchestra, led by Prof. Ed. Minor, is a feature at the Howard. "Johnny Miller, "O, you drummer," is a whole show in himself. The photoplayers are of the highest order, and the Sunday afternoon presentation is a society event. Vincent B. Thomas, one of the famous Thomas Brothers, who own the Howard, is an accomplished violinist. Miss Desdemona Barnett, the faithful and efficient cashier at Fudley's, is to start next week on a fortnight's vacation. S. H. Dudley and his muhe, "Patrick," are to be in Chicago week of the 23d. Manager M. Coleman, who owns the Iceland, the Star, and the Grand, all in South Washington, is preparing to evince his faith in the possibilities of that great colored center of colored population in a practical fashion by erecting at an early date a first class theater for colored patrons. The new house is to occupy a good-sized lot on Third street southeast, between K and L, just opposite the site of the present Star theater. It is to have but one floor, but will be arranged to seat not less than 700 persons. The plans have been drawn and the contract will be let as soon as the details can be agreed upon. Manager Coleman will expend about $15,000 in building and equipping the new playhouse. The stage will be large enough to accommodate road shows and the biggest vaudeville acts. Martin and Motley are still at the Palace Airdrome. Irvin C. Miller's Comedy Company, after four satisfactory weeks at the Howard, have moved down to the Iceland, and may stay for a "run." This is on of the best stock shows the capital has seen, and it is hoped the talented people composing it may be able to secure enough engagements to guarantee its holding together The swift stage management, aside from the ability shown in the music and, comedy stunts themselves, has been the talk of the theatrical folks of the town. Mr. Miller is a Nash villian, a college graduate, and a journalist of note. Romeo L. Dougherty, whose name is no misnomer, is back in this country, to the delight of his numerous lady friends, and is hibernating for a brief period in New York City. He has resumed his dramatic and sporting reportorial work on the New York News, where he scored such a pronounced hit prior to his trip to Porto Rico. St. Thomas, and other islands in the West Indies. Mr. Dougherty is to pay Washington a visit in a few days. Frederick De Botts is assisting at Dudley's, and is a big help to Manager Lew Henry in hardling the crowds and in assisting in stage directing. Mr. DeBotts will fill a number of vaudeville engagements this fall on the Dudley circuit with a partner whose name is as yet withheld from the public. Washingtonians are anxiously awaiting further announcements as to the new road show that is to be put out by Morganstern and Walton, and headed by "String Beans" and Sweetie May. Misses Lottie Gee and Lillian Brown are at the Monogram, Chicago, this week, with Crown Garden; Indianapolis to follow week of the 16th. They are a clever pair, and their diversified talents serve as a foil for one another. Each lead in their respective lines. The team is one of the strongest and most evenly-balanced now before the public. They will be seen here within a few weeks. Lyllyn Brown and Billy DeMont are in Chicago, and will be on the western wheel for some time yet. Miss Hilarie Friend, a Washington girl, is making good in New York City. Washington is a natural theatrical center for colored people, and the country at large is anxious to know "what is what" among the stage folks in this vicinity. "The Exile" may be reproduced, if the author, Prof. B. C. Williams, and the producer, Mr. Nathaniel Guy, will hearken unto the demand of the lovers of the classic drama.
