IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE WASHINGTON DESERVING TRIBUTE DESERVING TRIBUTES. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Honored— A Distinguished Speaker. Praises Her Work—Little Richardson Presents a Request of American Beauty Roses—An Excellent Supper. The Nineteenth Street. Baptist Church last Friday evening, October 13th, presented one of the most noted demonstrations that has ever been witnessed in this city. The pulpit was beautifully decorated with flowers, massive palms and cut flowers. Seated upon the pulpit were Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the guest of honor; Hon. Martin H. Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representatives; Mrs. Julia M. Layton, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Rev. C. H. Steptape, Bishop I. N. Ross, Mr. S. W. Rutherford, Attorney W. Calvin Chase, Rev. L. B. Moore, Rev. A. C. Garner, Rev. W. A. Taylor, Dean Wm. Pickens of Baltimore, Md.; Rev. H. W. Hernagin, Rev. W. H. Moses of Philadelphia, Pa.; Mr. A. S. Pinkett and Miss Emma B. Hall, secretary, who acted as mistress of ceremonies, and Mrs. Charles Cabaniss, chairman of the committee. The occasion was a testimonial to Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, for the work that she has accomplished in the interest of women and girls throughout the country and Africa. There is not a woman in this city who stands higher in the estimation of the people than she does. Her work speaks for itself. Lincoln Heights, where her school is, is a monument to women and girls. Her work has not been talk, but actual work. She is respected because what she has accomplished has been by her individual efforts. She commands the respect and confidence of the people. They love her because she deserves their love. She is supported in her work by the best people in the United State and they are determined to stand by her. The distinguished audience and the great army of speakers on last Friday night were eveldences of the esteem in which she is held. It is the first time in the history of all Washington that such a testimonial has ever been bended a woman. Her friends helped her. Who speakers of her virtue and her great in training women and girls. Mrs. Emma Cabanis, Miss Emma Hall and the committee that suggested, planned and put on the testimonial to Miss Burroughs, and they certainly covered themselves with glory. It was one of the best planned and best excuted functions that has ever taken place in this city. The long list of citizens paying tribute to Miss Burroughs contained men and women in all walks of life, and of every denomination. One could not look over the audience nor read the names of the citizens who joined in the testimonial without declaring, "Well, there is a prophetess who is honored in her own country." The Amphilog Glee Club, under its matchless leader, Mr. Henri Lewis, had another engagement but came because of their great appreciation for Miss Burroughs and determination to contribute their part to the splendid program. Miss C. Wallace, Washington's favorite contralto was at her best. In a happy introductory speech, Mrs. Cabanin presented Miss Hall, who presided with the grace and ease characteristic of this rising young leader. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and Mrs. Julia M. Layton paid high tribute to Miss Burroughs as a student. Mrs. Terrell said that if any one should tell her that Nannie Burroughs was going to climb up to them con, that while she couldn't see how she could do it, that she knew the trip would be made, if ever she set her heart to the task. In speaking of her as Christian leader, Rev. Walter H. Broks was never more eloquent. He said that she was the organizer of the largest group of women in the race and that in every city and hamlet, she has put more groups of women to work to lift the race than any other woman. The most significant statement in the tribute was that Miss Burroughs was not like many who were trying to lead. He said she had followers, while many would be leaders, did not have anybody following them. Mr. H. Martyn Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representatives, was among the speakers and paid high tribute to Miss Burroughs, as constructive genius and a woman of tremendous courage, "with her jaw set" to accomplish anything she puts her hands to. He said he regarded her as one of the finest women he ever met. Dean Pickens of Morgan College, Baltimore, said he just had to come over to remind the people of Washington that Miss Burroughs does not belong to Washington, but to the world and was doing world service. He placed her in the galaxy with Harriet Becher Stows, who plead for physical freedom, and Frances Willard, who plead for the moral freedom of all the people, and he declared that she is to the womanhood of her race what Alice Freeman Palmer, the founder of Wellesley College, was to the white womanhood of her times. Addresses that caught the audience was by Rev. W. H. Moses of Philadelphia. His unique way of saying things provoked laughter throughout the speech, but he was both eloquent and earnest. In referring to some of the reformations set in motion by Miss Burroughs, he said she certainly had made him respect a broom and bath tub more and to use the later oftener than ever before in his life. "This gospel of the Bible, Bath and Broom," said he, "has been preached so effectively that it has reached thousands of men, women and children in the back wood. I know what it looks like but because the crowd in the woods that I represent certainly believe in Miss Burroughs and will do anything she tells us, from the bath tub job up." In telling of Miss Burroughs as a Business Woman, the Editor of the Bee said that the secret of Miss Burroughs' success is due to her honesty — "She will keep her word," and you can count on her to do what she says; she is not a member of the "National Hot Air Association" that has headquarters in this City. The audience enjoyed this frank statement of the truth immensely. Rev. A. C. Garner never spoke better in his life. The addresses of Dean Lewis B. Moore, Bishop I. N. Ross, Rev. C. H. Steptheau, Rev. W. A. Taylor, Mr. A. S. Pinkett, Rev. W. H. Jernagin and Mr. S. W. Rutherford, bristled with good cheer and deep appreciation for the marvelous work and for reaching influence of the first leader of the race to make the race help itself in a large way, before calling on other people for help. A huge bunch of American Beauties and Killarnies was presented by Miss Princess Richards. The little Miss arose on the high wave of eloquence already passing and delivered a beautiful speech for the young people. At the close, in a most touching speech of appreciation, Miss Burroughs praised Washington for its loyalty to her and the work she is doing, and did not forget to mention that the people throughout the country are standing hard by her side in the work of building a school, and lifting a race to a higher plane of efficient living and service. The occasion was certainly most pleasant and it is the first time that such a Testimonial has been given by all the people, regardless of denomination to a member of the race engaged in uplift work in the city. The exercises concluded with a sweet address from little Miss Richardson who presented one hundred American beauty roses are other choice flowers and who said in part as follows: My Dear Miss Burroughs: I have been selected to present you these roses as a very small token of love from your many friends in the East. The rose is an object of particular esteem, and the acceptance of this flower when offered is a token of highest favor. In the coming years may the world speak of your greatness as the poet sings of the rose when they call her "daughter of Heaven, ornament of earth and glory of spring." Like the rose may you embellish the whole world and like her, possess a grace more exquisite than beauty itself. These friends are here to embrace you like the ivy. Nothing can separate it from the tree to which it clings, ate it from the tree which it has once embraced. The faithful companion of its destiny it falls when the tree is cut down; death itself does not relax its grasp. It will not accept any kind of support, but its attachment ends only in death. When the air is foul, streets dusty and dirty, we cannot get a good breath God sends the storm. After the lightning has burned up the impurities in the air and the rain has washed away all the dirt and flith leaving the air and streets nice and clean we thank God for the storm. After this little storm may Lincoln Heights be brighter, bigger and better than ever before and we all, like iy, cling to you closer than ever. (1) These stems are for the old people here who admire you with their whole hearts. (2) These leaves are for the young people who will support you in every good and honest effort. (3) And these buds speak for we little-folks who "lubs uo" all the time: This closed the exercises and the subscribers were invited to the lecture room below, where a fine supper was enjoyed. HIS OLD HOME Mr. M. C. Maxfield Speaks at His Old Home—Former Superintendent of 2nd Baptist Sabbath School Receives an Ovation. Mr. M. C. Maxfield, formerly superintendent of the Second Baptist Sabbath School, in years gone by, and one of the leading Sabbath School workers in the city, was extended an invitation some few weeks ago to address the Sabbath School of which he was formerly superintendent, when that church and school were among the largest in the city under his superintendency. The long-looked for address excited the greatest enthusiasm among the children and the members of that church who always held him in the highest esteem. Promptly at 9 o'clock Sunday morning a large crowd gathered in the lecture room of the church to give the former superintendent a royal welcome which was a surprise to him. The speaker, after prayer and singing by the school, was introduced and for one hour or more MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS Who was tendered a testimonial by the citizens of Washington. A great success. P. REV. I. N. ROSS Who is being persuaded by thousands of his admirers and supporters not to go to Africa until after the war is over in Europe. he entertained his hearers with a well prepared and interesting address. He reviewed the work of the church and school from the time he held sway there up to the present time. He gave a concise history of the church and school, including the many superintendents that presided over the school, from the time he left to the present time. At the time he retired from active participation in the church and Sabbath School both institutions had a healthy financial treasury. He showed conclusively that every cent was accounted for. He left with a clear and honorable record. His return to his old home was an evidence of the faith the church and school had in him. His address was a most interesting and instructive resume of the past and present conditions of the Second Baptist Sabbath School and Church. Many expressions of approval of his address were shown when he concluded. His return to the church and school which he so successfully conducted while there was the wish of many who heard him. As church and Christian worker among his people none better can be found and at the conclusion of his address the ovation equalled the one at the beginning. The singing of the school was very impressive. THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL UNIVERSITY AND BIBLE COLLEGE OF WASHINGTON, D. C.

THE GREAT NORMAN THE GREAT NORMAN His Enthusiastic Welcome at' Tampa —One of the Country's Greatest Pulpit Orators in Florida and Hundreds Turn Out to Hear Him. Tampa, Fla., Oct. 14.—Dr. N. W. M. Norman of Washington, D. C., is here enjoying the hospitality of the people. There is a man in the United States who is any more respected and honored by the people, regardless of his color or religion. His reception here was most graffitiful. He spoke from the same pulpit with the white ministry and sat beside one of his white friends whom he knew from childhood in North Carolina. The Tampa Bulletin, a widely circulated journal printed in Tampa, speaks of Dr. Norman as follows: Greatness is a supernatural gift; generous is not acquired or achieved, but comes from God. Ministers that are great are rare, DR. N. . M. NORMAN, Who was royally welcomed in Tampa in many years was Rev. M. W. D. Norman, A. M., D.D., LL. D., of Washington who conducted a series of meetings for Beulah Baptist church. Rev. Griffin and the good people of that church should be congratulated upon having the prefound scholastic theologian with them. As a preacher, we have yet to see or hear his superior. His sermons were convincing, eloquent and appealing; his hearers would be held spellbound as he explained the plans of salvation. Dr. Norman is pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church of Washington, D. C., and came to this city upon invitation of Rev. G. D. Griffith to conduct the installation services, and while here he accepted an invitation to conduct a series of meetings, which has been very successful. This great preacher is of international fame, and was formerly dean of Shaw University. It was there that Rev. Griffin knew him where he was a student. He is now, besides pastor of the great Metropolitan church, moderator of the Baptist Association of the District of Columbia. He left Thursday for his home. COLUMBIA ACADEMY AND CONSEVATOR ITEMS.

PRIZE CRIMSON SHIRT AND A REVOLVER Doctors, Adrift In Motorboat, Adopt Novel Means to Signal Help. San Francisco. — Dr. Washington Dodge has a crimson sport shirt which he will treasure the remainder of his life, and Dr. Clive Payne is in possession of a revolver which will hereafter always accompany him while he is motorboating. The two doctors recently went for a spin in a motorboat owned by Ralph Sheafe. After cutting capers around the bay all afternoon they started to return to Belvedere. When off Point Blunt, Angel island, the engine broke down. All attempts to repair the engine were futile. A heavy fog was closing down, and a strong ebb tide carried the frail craft seaward. As Dr. Dodge had been in a similar situation when the Titanic foundered, he thought first. Pulling off his bright hued sport shirt, he tied it to the end of a boat hook and waved it frantically. Then Dr. Payne fired a fusilibde from his automatic revolver. The shots attracted the attention of Charles Truelson, a Tiberon launch man, who rescued them. EELS TRAVEL ONLY AT NIGHT. Great School Making Way Southward to Gulf Waters. Bainbridge, Ga.—A strange annual phenomenon is taking place in the waters of Flint river here. Fishermen report that the eels are now beginning their annual pilgrimage to the waters of the gulf, where they will spawn during the winter. It has been noticed that they travel entirely at night and in the late afternoon, and on a clear moonlight night great black schools of them are to be seen wending their way southward. It has been observed that the old ones never return, but they are replaced by millions of young ones, which will return in the early spring. Eels are a great delicacy among the negro fishermen, and they are anxiously awaiting the return. FOR A·GREAT·HIGHWAY. Woman Advocates Lakes to Gulf Road Built by Convicts. Buffalo.—A plan to build by convict labor a 1,000 mile highway from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico was outlined by Miss Lillian Stuart of St. Louis at the Congress of the American Prison association. She asked the association to give $200 to the work. The road would be a quarter of a mile wide and would be a model highway with a center way for an automobile speedway and side roads for local traffic—straight for hundred-mile stretches. Its building would be a huge step in solving unemployment, poverty and crime, she said, and when built would be of immense value to the middle west. GETS $100 RAISE IN 50 YEARS United States Government Now Pays Dr. Burghardt $1,000 Salary. Washington. After working in the service of the government since 1869. Dr. Caroline Ascnath Grant Burghardt has been rewarded with an increase in salary from $000 to $1,000 a year. Dr. Burghardt was appointed to a clerkship in the treasury department through the influence of her friend William Cullen Bryant. She is now employed in the bureau of navigation of the department of commerce. She was born in Great Barrington, Mass., in 1833; and served as a nurse in a military service hospital during the civil war. At Eighty-two Takes Fifth Wife. Fruittale, Cal.-Marrige has no terrors for the Rev. James Sunderland. After being wed four times in church, with a gathering of friends on hand each time to congratulate him at the completion of the ceremonies, he eloped with Miss Mary Ham and was married in Monterey. The Rev. Mr. Sunderland is eighty-two years old and his bride seventy-five years old. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) It is amusing to see some colored men given a little power. They really don't know what use to make of it in a direction that will benefit the cause to which they have been appointed to act: Up in New York a gang of Moose following have been given a little power and to what use to put, is a question of conjecture. If any one can tell what the Washington contingent amounts to, the Sage would be pleased. Well, now, just wait until after the election and then come and tell me how much water they will draw and I will tell you who will be the next minister to England. I thought that the object of republican workers was to get as many dollars to their party as possible. So strange that men can see that which doesn't concern them. The peanut politician is frequently seen in and around this and other cities. He sees no good in his competitor. Good men generally do good things. What has the Washington contingent done? What does it know about politics and politicians. I am glad to see my good friend, Ralph E. Langston, placed on the Advisory Committee. Now there is a whole souled man. He knows politics and politicians. 10 Chairman of the committee on n newspapers, who held up The Bee on information obliged to have been giv on him by James A.

The gentleman in the schools will not be so bold and brave in a few days. He is cutting a great dash nowadays. He will not know what kind of a bomb struck him. There are different kinds of bombs, but the bomb that will hop around Little Lord Fauntleroy will shatter the circle miles asunder. Don't you be uneasy, R. W. T. You ought to know that the diver's secretly entering the tunnel and before you cross in front the bomb will go off. This time he meets his waterloo and don't worry. Watch the explosion. I have been gathering data that cannot be burned or destroyed. It is amusing to see the worm turn over. They have been so dove like. Why they have been so lamb like in their actions that no one would suspect them of w.ong doing. Now, you will see the difference between a very good man and a very bad man. The very good man will give an explanation of his deeds and acts for the past five years. Don't R. W. T., our innings will be reviewed by the masses and the tongues of the liers shall cease for once. Merit will count and the deserving ones all get their just reward. My good friends, Charlie Hall and Jenifem have gone west. They are two up-to-date investigators. I would like to have seen my old friend, Pelham, in the bunch. Bob is a jolly good fellow and knows his business. He never loses his head. The Mu-So-Lit Club will have to increase its monthly stipends 25 per cent will not meet the necessary expenses. A great organization, with millionaires' minds, should levy a larger tax. I would advise an increase. Why not select a suitable building site and erect an up-to-date club house? If this what you call a select organization that finds its membership unable to go higher than 25 per, I have but little faith in its ability to erect a club house.

Of late this office has been deluged with anonymous letters in which it has been stated that gambling is being carried on within an area bounded by Fifth and Seventh, and S and U streets northwest. All the letters place the gambling within this area. One letter is a little more specific and places it in a house on Florida avenue. The patrons of the game are said to be high school teachers, deartmental employees, professional men, and persons on the point of entering the professions. Another letter states that at a recent sitting of the gamesters, a well-known young man of good family lost a large sum of money sent him by his mother for expenses in completing his education. It is a most regrettable fact that scarcely any rumor of wrong doing of any kind can be circulated that the names of high school male teachers are not connected with it. The advice of the Sage is that persons having information of the kind referred to should give to the officers of the law charged with looking after such matters. THE COLORED VOTERS.

Every electrical appliance that is used in connection with the face, hair and skin may be seen at this school. mere fact that our race has been segregated and discriminated against by the present administration makes it clear to any Negro though he be a wayfaring fool, to vote against the return of this mal-administration. We have, for a long time, been in favor of a diversified Negro vote. We believed in voting for a good man—be that man a democrat or republican. In 1912 there loomed up a "false assurance" that the colored race would be treated as well, or even better, if the democratic national ticket should be successful on the day of election. That ticket was successful and from that time of the inauguration of the head of that ticket until the present day, the colored race has been given much of such discrimination and segregation that would be tolerated by the very demons of hell in hell, Now, considering these facts to be true, would it not be an insult to any man with an iota of respect for himself, his race, and the little ones yet unborn, for us to even suggest which one of the Presidential candidates to vote for since the Hon Charles E. Hughes is in the race for the White House? As we have stated, we once thought it best for the colored vote to divide; but the direct stab at our race by the present administration, in order to appease the passions of such Negro haters as Vardoman, Hoke Smith, Burleson, and their like, whose nominations for any federal positions or offices in their respective states mean their elections, we now deimur. For, if there ever was a time for the colored voters of this country to vote, and vote as one man, it is on the 7th day of November next. The Negro slogan should be: "Together, let us sweetly live!" "Together, let us die," etc. etc. Because the mere nomination of the gentlemen of whom we have spoken means their election to any office they seek in their states, they probably lured the President into the belief that he could carry out their wishes in segregating and discriminating against the "nigger race" and be re-elected independent of the "nigger vote." But the voters of this entire country (and not the mere hoodlums of Mississippi and Georgia) have a sayso in the making of a President. And since Mississippi, Georgia and Florida are not the majority of this country the present administration will no doubt soon see the folly of taking fools advises. When our Lord Jesus was on the cross the Jews stoned Him and spit upon Him and said: "You saved others, now save yourself and come down from the cross," etc. etc (Christ was victorious. He did save others and He saved Himself.) So, the many thousands, yea millions, of colored voters can say to the gentlemen who delight in ignoring the Federal Constitution: "You elect yourselves; now re-elect Wilson, and bid him remain in the White House," and we will see whether you will be successful or not. If there ever was a time for the colored voters of this country to be deeply interested in an election, it is certainly now! Every one who is of voting age should make it his business to vote and vote for "Hughes and Fairbanks." This administration 'is, without any doubt, inimical to the colored race. President Wilson could not have shown his hatred of the colored race more than when he paid no attention to the sad loss, which befell this entire country in the death of that great lover of 'all mankind—Booker T. Washington. He paid no more attention to the death of Mr. Washington than he would have paid to a common cur dog and yet the foremost public citizens of this country, such men as ex-Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, to say nothing of the many best white citizens, spoke feelingly of the death of that great man. Being in the White House, President Wilson thought, perhaps, it would be a beilttling thing for him to express a word of sorrow at the death of a "big nigger." No words of his could have made Booker Washington's fame any greater; but his blissful silence certainly did make him (the President) look a little cheap in the eyes of the civilized world. And we are of the opinion that any man who dares to ignor such a man of the colored race is not worthy of the support of the colored voters. of this country; and they should so express themselves at the polls on the 7th of November. During this administration the hands on the clock of progress for the colored race have been set back thirty years. And the other twenty years will be shaken, as by a terrible earth quake, if it remains in power the next four years. So, my colored fellow NEWHOPE "I'll get it for my wife" NO OTHER LIKE IT.

We are very much afraid that, by his silence, Bishop Alexander Walters is going to cause all honest and intelligent people to doubt his sincerity in the fight he made for the betterment of his race in the political campaign of 1912. Show your colors, Bishop Walters, for this is a crucial are through which your race is passing. This is no time for our great leader to play the part of neutrality. Where are you, Bishop? If you are for Wilson, you are against your race. And if you are still for your race, you are against the re-election of Wilson.

Employers in the North, shut off from supplies of workers from Europe, are now importing Nerros from the South, and to such an extent as to provoke dissent from employers in the South, who have no liking for a labor shortage. As a consequence of the rivalry for his service, the Negro already gets a higher wage. Continued for any length of time, there will be a shifting of population, due to this economic adjustment, that will have consequences immediate and remote. 105 SIMON SIMPLE'S FIRST LESSONS IN CLOWNISM IT'S A GAME TO SEE HOW FAR YOU CAN KNOCK THE DALL OFF THE STICK!

NEXT SCHOOL TERM OPENS OCT. 4, 1916. For catalog and detailed information, address: First Separate Battalion To Be Mustered Out at Journey's End—Other Units are in Camp. While other District militia units are just getting settled in new camps along the border, the 1st Separate Battalion of D.-C. Infantry, colored troops, is en route to camp at Fort Myer, where it will be mustered out. The 1st Separate left Naco, Ariz, where it has been in camp for three months, Sunday according to a telegram received at the War Department today from Gen. Funston, commanding. The 3d Infantry now is at Camp Wilson, San Antonio, Tex., where the troops are making camp today. Troop A, District cavalry, which arrived last week, also is there making preparations for taking up its regular schedule of drills. Battery A is at. El Paso, while Battery B is engaging in target practice at Niggerhead mountain, near Douglas, Ariz., where its permanent camp is established. The Field Hospital also is at Douglas, but is under orders to come home. Car Shortage Causes Delay. The delay in departure is said to be due to shortage of railroad equipment but with the arrival of so many additional troops on the border from state mobilization camps it is expected that some of this equipment will be used to send the District, medical men home. The Signal Corps Company is at Nogales awaiting orders. This organization is scheduled to return to Douglas, and probably will be ordered home, along with Battery B, within a short The 1st Separate Battalion may ar- POLICE DETECTIVE DRAMA Coming to the Howard Next Week. "The Conspiracy," which is the attraction at the Lafayette Theater in New York City this week, was reviewed by our correspondent on Monday night and from what he says the Quality Amusement Corporation should be chalking up another victory scored in selecting productions that please their thousands of patrons in New York, Baltimore and Washington. The opposition house, known as the New Lincoln Theater which returned to drama this week, will have a hard road to travel if the crowds that pack the Lafayette to witness "The Conspiracy," is a forecast of the future, and the strong vein of humor through out the three acts for which Tom Brown is responsible will be the means of having the S. R. O. sign once more displayed at the popular New York house. Messrs. Robert Baker and John Emerson have introduced a play that unfolds another Sherlock Holmes in the person of Winthrop Clavoring, but this time the principal character is an author who paints his mind pictures so realistically it leads to the detection of criminals and Tom Brown's versatility as a performer is again evident in the splendid manner in which he portrays a character that calls for the best in any man essaying the part. The play will appeal strongly to those with a humorous turn of mind, for the story is told in a manner that cleverly reveals the aptitude of the author for placing a touch of comedy around a play that deals with the activities of a band of criminals who have succeeded in evading the police of a great city only to fall into the well-laid trap of a successful "blood and thunder" show writer. In the cast are Tom Brown, Walker Thompson, E. E. Abrahs, "Babe" Townsend, Geo. E. Brown, Chas. Taylor, Henry Williams, Hayes L. Pryor, J. Francis Nores, Iris Hall, Alice Goras, Laura Bowman and Abbie Mitchell. FOOTBALL AT LINCOLN UNIVER SITY. By George Boulware. The Lincoln University football squad is hard at work under the able coaching of W. H. Bullock. This strenuous work is in preparation for the initiative game of the season with the Lampton A. A., of Chester, Pa. The game will be played on October 14th, 1916, at Lincoln University on Rendall Field. Coach Bullock, the colored Bob Folwell, of the gridiron; is a former Dartmouth star and an all American man. He has an acute knowledge of his material and is fast whipping it into shape. The coach feels sure that he can turn out a machine second to none in the history of Lincoln University. Many of the new candidates are using their Herculean strength against the varsity team, and are showing up to good advantage. Manager Hill is pleased with the team as a whole. He feels confident that the imperishable Orange and Blue will be carried to victory in every game. Captain Burton is mindful of his responsibilities and is proving himself to be a very competent leader. He is playing his usual star game at right tackle. His playing is an incentive to the other members of the squad. Sammy Barber is showing his old time form and the way he plays left tackle is especially noteworthy. Douglas is making good at left end, vacated by John Lee Barnum, who was captain of the last year's squad. Dug's chief asset lies in his speed, intercepting forward passes, and aggressiveness. Pimp Young, the brainy, quarterback of the 1914 machine, is not in togs as yet, but he will soon be out putting his foot in the pligskin. Young is always cool, and can be usually relied upon to select the right play. Quick thinking and generalship are his principal attributes. The old Lincoln spirit is at its zenith. It is the same spirit that helped us to beat Howard by the score of 12 to 0, on November 7th, 1914, and this spirit plus our superb team will again enable us to bring the laurels home in every encounter. So enthusiastic is the student body, that one can hear on the gridiron daily the University Yell, and the "Hickory, hickory, hicky-hick, fetch us a touch-down and fetch it quick." return it quietly.

It-is to be-regretted that there is no avenue now open to our girl after they leave school. Hundred: of young girls are today walking . the streets and are the patrons o! the cabarets where they meet young ,men. and boys. It is ¢ shame.’ ‘The question is asked how can this evil be remedied ‘ If. the schools taught practical businéss, conditions would be-bet. ter for our girls.. We once had a business high school which was flourishing under young Mr. Mur: ray. His transfer from that schiool reduced it to such a degree that it has never been able-to re- stime its former usefulness. There is but little encouragement offer- ed to our gitls. Hundreds of girls could be employed in a de- partment stores if, such a store was patronized by the colored people. Mr. Ware who, was brave enough to open a department store and who has been willing “to share his profits among his help .doesn’t receive sufficient, encour- agement from the one hundred thousand colored people in this city to inerease-his help’ to any degree: of. justification. It can. not be that this store fails to’ ear. ry a large line of the best goods in the markets There is not enough race pride among the col ored people to support their own institutions, « Segregation forees.a large class of colored people to patronize their own drugstores, - Many of our so-called first ‘class and well to do colored people may be seer darting in theaters conducted by white, people under the guise of being ‘white. With a little bright color in their faces, angmented by colored powder, enables many of this class to pass the ticket. tak- cr in these white theaters. We have-a few in our schools... The Bee ealled its readers attention to this some’ time.ago.* They are too Dlaek for White schools and -too white for colored sehools. , Many 6f them would prefer to walk at niglit on the outskirts of the city with a white man than to be seen with: a colored gentleman. There is ani absolute necessity for a re- form in our schools. One of the most sad events took place in this city a week or so ago. This is not the only case.’ The Bee is in pos- session of facts. in which a.school girl, not fifteen years ‘of age, was yuined by a pool room proprietor and carried to Rockville, Ma., and, married her. Just how any minister would have the nerve to marry a child this age is a wonder to The Bee. Our. girls are not properly’ protected. - Marriage fails to remedy this evil. Our ju- venile court ‘is crowded. with young wives who have made mis- takes in being married’ to_ the wrong ‘man... ‘There should be a law enacted making it a erime for any marriage to be consummated unless the intentions for such marriages are published in some paper for three weeks. . “Are the gitls in’ our sehdols pro- teeted?. From existing conditions they don’t, seem to. be." Our nor- ‘mal and. high school should have all female instructors. Our girls, therefore, need ‘the protection of a strong hand.” Our schools are in a most deplorable condition. and if something is not done at once to remedy the evils that ex- ist they will go to destruction. Nothing short of a revolution will place the colored schools upon a basis of efficiency. Clean out the schools, and at once. a] Rar dicen a hilecans-tir pe lh yenkannere yer ant Pp The Colored Advisory Commit tee in’ New York, an annex to'the National Republican Committee, has been advising with a ven- gence. Certainly there are a few ‘of the republican presidential candidate. It has. been fully shown. that the, first act of cer- tain portions of the committee was to advise to holdup the greatest and leading republican journal ‘in the United States, be- cause it saw fit to publish the his- tory of a democrat, a gentleman and a friend .of the colored race, ‘and thank Senator Chilton. of West Virginia for stpporting and urging an appropriation for How- ard University. If the Universi- ty had been without frionds in ‘the last_-demoeratie Congress, Howard University would: have been, a closed institution to. the eolored people. Some eolored men are like some democrats, never fail to make an unnecessary blunder, .either to their detri- ment or to the detriment of the nation. The Bee will have its innings shortly and ‘these: great republi- ean advisors(?)- who were acci- dently Selected to advise the na- tional ‘republican committee and supervise their own: people will have to reckon with it. For thir- ty-seven years The Bee has advo- cated the principles ‘and policies of the republican. party ;. whether those policies suited it or not. It has.never beeame disgruntled and deserted the party at a time when its ‘services -were mostly’ needed like those who have attacked -its republicanism. It* is not only amusing but, laughable, Long be- fore the present administration eame into power, every republi- can eolored office holder with but a few exeeptions endeavored to secure white and colored demo- cratic. influence and indorsements to have themselves retained. Why then should objection’ be-.made against those who have been and are friendly to the colored race? In another column of The Bee our able contemporary, The Indianap- jolis Freéman, one of the leading journal in. the United States, ed- ited by colored: men, ‘published an editorial complimenting Sena- tor Thomas Taggart. Did our great, wise(?) and bencficial ad- visory committee see it and if it did see the editorial is such an editorial an evidence of-The Free- man’s disloyalty: to. the: republi- ean party? The colored republi- cans. of Indiana know Senator Taggart to be one of: their best friends and it is unfortunate that ihe is allied with a party that is against the interests of the. color- ed Americans,. When, The Bee says party it doesn’t want it’ un- derstood: that every democrat is the party is against the interest of the colored Aimericans.. There are dozens of white democrats who have been indorsed by’ eolor- ed republicans and dozens of col- ored: republicans indorsed by democrats.’ Take our own Judge Pugh,” judge of the District branch ‘of the Police Court.. A southern democrat who knows the colored man and there is not n colored republican in this city that would not indofse him for re- tention, of Mr, Hughes should be lected. No republican judge, al- though he is a dried in the wool lemoerat, has everoceupied that bench, is more respected or hon- red than -Judge Pugh. He was 2mong the, many hundred’ white Jemocrats who favored ‘the re- :ppointment of Robert H. Terrell, 1 municipal judge: Must it be an ,fferise to compliment those of the posite party who have been.and are our friends? * Many in. the colored’ advisory’ ave a Great deal to leatn:. There s not a member in that commit- tee who doesn’t know,’ person ally, the polities of the Bee and its, ,ditor and they. have no.apology 0 offer, because neither live on the successes or misfortunes: of, parties.” There are’ so many. - lnckeys among colored politicians. . Phe new republican organiza. tion is frying to muster enough followers to name a District com- missioner in the event of republi- ean success, ‘The District republicans have too light representatives on the advisory board. If it were left to the “colored republicans -neither would'-be selected’ to wash win- dows, : ‘The editor of The Bee is not an offige holder ahd neither is he an office secker. . Charles W.

That Didn't eeten |_A perusal of the white dally and week: Jy -newspapers and periodicals dis- closes tho fact that the Repulican Na- tional Committee is using them exten- sively for publicity purposes, paid ad- yertisements. appearing in them, con- stantly. “A perusal of the Colored newspapers discloses the ‘tact. that they have not and re not being used. Why? Recently an_ advisory committee, so called, of Colored men was appointed by National Chairman ‘Wilcox, on the. reccomendation ,of 2 narrow circle-of Colored’ men," sup- posedly for the purpose 6f advising how to arouse. interest among Colored yoters ‘They met.in New York, bav- had their, expenses paid and ‘iherally too, for their trip to the metropolis. ‘They met and adjourned, giving out the information that a little jlm-crow annex had been established in -New York.” An examination of the per- sonnel of this committee discloses that a few ex-office-holders dominate the committee, a few men who have heen consistent office-holders. or office seekers ever sirice the memory of man Tunneth not, tothe contrary. .. And these same men are angling for’ of- fices, in the event that Judge ‘Hughes ig elected. ‘Four years ago there was another “advisory committee of Color- ed men, Fe. having had their ex penses ‘paid to New York ‘for a day, met,. adjourned, and departed for their-homes, failing to accomplish any. thing, but standing ready, had Taft deen elected, to announce “we sid it,” (and then attempt to make another successful dash for offices, The men who suggésted this ‘advisory commit ‘tee, which was recently appointed by the Republican National Chairman, are known to be selfish office-seekers and office-holders. This fact is borne faut by the fact that they restricted the membership to a few professional office-seekers; and the, fact that they insisted on no recomniendations that would interest, anyone outside ° of themselves, The District of Colum- bia has threo voteless members on that advisory committe, more than a number of Horthern states that have many thousands of voters. The three members from, the District could not ‘be elected, by popular vote, to the po- sition of dog catcher, yet they aro to represeht the District, of the recom: mendation of the selfish "political Mikado, down in New York, who dic: tated the membership. Colored vo- ters no longer follow the lead of a few selfish office-seekers. This little mu- tual admiration society, known as the “Colored Advisory Committee,” and their own political future, has-not; and cannot arouse either interest or con- fidence in the rank and file. Their expenses were paid to New York, for their little junket, and that they ac ‘complished nothing is disclosed in the fact that no paid publicity has ap ‘peared in Colored papers, while white papers ard periodicals throushout the country are‘carrying columns of paid advertising matter. The. Beo states a fact when it says that the three members on this advisory committe from. the District. here represent only themselves, as do the other members. Neyer before, in a national canipalgn, ‘was the Colored press of this country so isnored in the matter of legitimate paid advertising, as in-this canfpaign, This “advisory committe” is‘ one that utterly failed to advise.

The Long-Promised Messianic Kingdom—Israel to Be Blessed First. Then All Mankind. "I was not disobedient unto the Heavenly vision."—Acts 26.19. UR LAST STUDY showed us that St. Paul's appeal to Caesar's Court afforded the Apostle an opportunity of preach- ing the Gospel before people of prominence whom he could otherwise never have expected to reach. He seems to have appreciated the occasion thoroughly; for he made a stirring address, the theme of which was the circumstance of his own conversion, here narrated for the third time. Thus does God mysteriously work the counsel of His own will and cause the wrath of men to praise Him. As a true gentleman, St. Paul opened his speech by complimenting King Agrippa, as much as he truthfully could, on the fact that the king was expert in all Jewish matters. The Apostle pointed to the fact that his course of life from youth was well known 'in' Jerusalem and throughout the Jewish nation. If his countrymen 'would, many of them could witness to his strictness as a religionist. "And now," he declared, "I am on trial for my hope in the Promise which God made unto our fathers—a. Promise which all Jews hope will have full A The Hope of Israel: Israel's hope centered in God's Oath-Bound Covenant to Abraham: "In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." (Genesis 12:3; 22:15-18). St. Paul was preaching that this Promise was in process of fulfilment; that Jesus of Nazareth, as the Son of God, by obedience to the Law and by His sacrifice of His earthly rights, had become the Head of this promised Seed of Abraham by His resurrection to the plane of spirit glory, honor and immortality. Moreover, he taught that since Pentecost the Lord was selecting from both Jews and Gentiles a "little flock," to be Messiah's Bride and Joint-heir, members of the Spiritual Seed of Abraham; and that when this selection is accomplished, The Messiah, Head and Body, in glory will set up the long-promised Kingdom of God, through which blessings will come first to Natural Israel and subsequently through Israel to all the families of the earth. Galatians 3:8, 10:20; Romans 11:7-15. Surely St. Paul pointed to the prophecies telling of Messiah's sufferings and the glory to follow! All the Jews knew of the sufferings of Jesus and His followers. But they disputed His resurrection to glory and the hope that by and by His followers share His resurrection change. The whole dispute between the Apostle and the Jews was in respect to whether Jesus arose from the dead. No valid hopes could be built upon a dead man. If Jesus arose, St. Paul, and the followers of Jesus were right; for His resurrection to glory should be considered a demonstration of Divine approval and of the Messiahship which Jesus had claimed. St. Paul explained how once he also had opposed Jesus and had persecuted His followers. He described the revelation given him near Damascus—the light above the brightness of the sun, and the voice saying, "I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest." Then he explained the commission he had received from the Lord on that occasion—that he was to preach to the Gentiles, as well as to the Jews, the resurrection of Jesus, the gathering of His Elect and, in due time, the establishment of His Kingdom. with amazement the Then, interrupting the speaker, he said, "Thou art beside myself. Much learning doth make thee mad." But St. Paul replied, "I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. King Agrippa knoweth these things." Then he appealed to the king believe the A Agrippa's reply is a matter of dispute—whether he said, "With a little more time and eloquence you might persuade me to be a Christian"; or, "Do you think that in so brief an argument you could make of me a Christian, with all of discredit which that word means?" St. Paul's reply (Verse 20) favors the former interpretation. A nobler sentiment, a broader spirit of charity, in a prisoner, falsely accused and unjustly restrained, cannot be imagined. Only those who have learned of Jesus could thus exemplify the moderation which he taught. How many in Christian lands have been "almost persuaded" to lay hold of Divine grace, but have lost their appreciation of the privilege! When they shall come forth from the grave and enjoy the privileges of the Millennial Kingdom, it will amaze them to know what greater opportunities they missed—joint-heirship with Christ. DOUBTING CHRISTIANS DISHONOR THEIR GOD Comparatively Few Have This Assurance—The Reason For This Condition—Abandoning the Blasphemous Errors of the Past, the Majority Are Casting Aside the Bible—Higher Criticism and Evolution Have Undermined the Faith of Many—The Apostle Warned the Church of This Great Falling Away—How Christians May Be Assured of Divine Acceptance. Providence, R. I. Oct. 15 — Pastor Russell spoke here today upon the subject of "Full Assurance of Faith." His text was, "Let us draw near with a true heart, in full, assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies Providence, R.I. Oct. 15. — Pastor Russell spoke here today upon the subject of "Full Assurance of Faith." His text was, "Let us draw near with a true heart, in full ass- urance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." (Heb. 10:22.) We give a condensed report below. The Pastor called attention to the fact that we are living in the time when the great falling away predicted by the Apostles is taking place. (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Peter 2:1, 2; etc.) The delusions of the Dark Ages are coming into the full blaze of the New Dispensation just upon us. Consequently there is such a conflict between the light of the Incoming Age and the darkness of the past that people are astonished, not knowing what to think. The majority seem to be losing, not only their faith, but the very foundation of faith—confidence in the Bible, as God's Word. He urged his audience to turn from the vagaries and guesses of Higher Criticism and Evolution, as well as from the hideous creed idols of the Dark Ages, and to study the Bible as never before. There alone can one find the basis for a full assurance of faith. At this very time, said the speaker, when Higher Criticism and Evolution are undermining the faith of nearly all thinking people, many of whom openly confess that they have lost confidence in God's Word, the Bible is becoming understood as never before. In the midst of the turmoll in the denominations, and amongst the college men and the learned of all lands, the people of God can truly sing; with the poet: "How firm a foundation; ye saints of the Lord. Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!" The strongest language one could use would not be strong enough to express the faith, the confidence, the trust, which God's people have in Him through seeing His real character and His real Plan as outlined in His Word. They have full assurance of faith. There is a vast difference between a full assurance of faith and a full assurance of credulity, however. Credulity is a readiness to swallow everything or anything, without investigation, without any real basis for believing, without proof. What most people call faith is mere credulity. This is possible even with the belief of some in the Bible. Many people, when asked as to their real basis of faith, look bewildered, hesitate; and then they either acknowledge that they have no clear understanding or else they change the subject of conversation. This is not faith. Heathen people could do as well. The Bible the Basis For True Faith. To really believe the Bible it is necessary to understand God's Plan as therein outlined. (2 Timothy 2:15) God's Word contains a great Divine Plan for human salvation. A watch with wheels revolving in perfect precision and perfect relationship to each other, a watch that keeps correct time without variation, is always the work of some skilful hand, guided by an intelligent mind. Such a piece of mechanism never came by chance. So it is with the Bible. When we find the prophecies of the Old Testament, the types of the Law, and the teachings of our Lord and His "Apostles interlocking, based and dependent upon one another in the most marvelous way, all telling the same story, although written in various ages and under various conditions, we are assured that no human being or set of human beings made that Plan. In His Word the Lord declares that by nature all men are sinners, that Christ Jesus tasted death for every man, that by and by He will restore to human perfection all who will accept the arrangement which He will soon open up for all mankind. He also declares that during this Age there is a Call for those who desire to come out from the world to be a peculiar people unto Him, ready to lay down their lives in the doing of His will. Those who have accepted this Call are Christians. Whoever can testify that he has forsaken sin, accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Redeemer, consecrated himself fully to do the Lord's will in all things as that will is made clear to him through God's Word, and who realizes that his standing with God is only through Christ's imputed merit, and that he is gradually growing more meek, more gentle, more patient, more long-suffering, more kind and loving—whoever can do so may have full assurance of faith that he is a child of God in full standing, and has the Father's smile of loving approval. THE COMING OF "FORTY-FIVE WORDS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST THE MINUTES FROM BROADWAY" Soon the Howard Theater will be the scene of a rollicking Broadway musical success that took the inhabitants of the great whit light district by storm. No less a personage than His Imperial Highaes, George M. Cophan, who has made more out of the patriotic stuff than any other American on the stage today, took the leading part in this well known play, wit: "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway," and its fame went broadcast after the "Yankee Doodle Comedian" had made one of his most sensational successes. Director Winn will have a much larger cast to rehearse for this show, and already he has started in to put the necessary pep and ginger into the largest array of performers that will be seen at one time under the control of the Quality Amusement Corporation. The Bee will make the announcement of the date in the near future. So much has been said of the big white slave plays that have attracted the attention of theater goers all over this country, the Quality Amusement Corporation in securing the one that has met with more favor than all the others is giving. Washington an opportunity of applauding a play that aroused the activities, of the police department, in Chicago and New York. The play was projected by its author to a realization of the menace of the traffic and to bring about much needed reforms. It was intended, also, to put an immediate limit to the operations of the traffickers by forewarning their possible victims. This it does by forewarning them, exposing the various wiles and strategies employed by the cadet, and his conspirators in during girls into their traps. It deals openly with facts, presenting them frankly, but with always the author's sincerity of purpose readily apparent. Specifically "The Lure" recites the story of a shop girl, Sylvia, whose meagre wages are insufficient to provide for the emergencies created by sickness. In her distress she recalls the frequent offers of a regular customer of the store—a man of smiling countenance and engaging manner, who has spoken often to Sylvia of "good wages for a little extra work now and then." Sylvia repairs to the address she has retained, enters the house and finds that her necessity has combined with her credulity to lower her into the clutches of white slavery. Fortunately, a secret service detective, engaged in investigating the mysterious disappearance of another girl, is on the scene and through his assistance, Sylvia affects her escape. So stirring is the play *New York* is a gain turning out in large numbers to the house controlled by the Quality Amusement Corporation, and regardless of the fact that reserved seats are being sold for days in advance, many patrons find themselves forced to secure standing room to see what the excellent colored cast is doing this week. Prominent among the performers in this great play are Marie Young, Will A. Cooke, Andrew Bishop, Anita Bush, Carlotta Freeman, Inez Clough, Lawrence Chenault and Ruth Carr. From Sept. 9, 1916. Motography. (A Magazine Published by Whites for Theatre Owners and Managers, Most of whom are Also White.) Subscriber's Question (Page 592-60.) Is there any law or theatre ordinance or any authority of any kind whereby I can keep negroes out of my theatre? I have had a great deal of trouble lately because of the attendance of negroes and on several occasions some of my oldest patrons have left because a colored person came in and sat next to them. I do not want them in the audience but I do not know how to keep them out, or whether there is any authority to back me if I exclude them. Editor's Answer. I think you will find in no state or city—with possible exceptions in the south—is there any ordinance whereby negroes may be excluded from the theatres. They have as much right there under the law as the white people, and they have a right to be treated just as courteously as the white people. There are ways, however, of getting around this matter without any trouble or seeming friction. The negroes as a race are doole and not apt to assert themselves. You cannot refuse them entrance to the theatre if they come up and buy a ticket but you can place them in the theatre so that the other patrons will not object. If you have a balcony set one portion aside for the negroes so that they will be segregated. Then instruct your ushers, that all colored people are to be seated in that portion of the balcony. Give instructions that they are to be treated courteously but simply told that they or have to go up in the balcony or have the usher lead them there and insist nothing. If they refuse to go and insist they sit where they please downstairs then simply tell them that you will have to refund their money and quietly hand it to them. I think you will find that they are reasonable and will respond readily to courteous treatment of this kind if you bluff it out. It really is a matter of bluff and bluff for if they wanted to fight your authority they would have a perfect right to do so and you would have no real and legal backing for your action. If you have no balcony you might set aside a certain number of seats in a particular section of the house so that the other people would not have to sit next to them if they objected. If you treat them civilly but at the same time let them see that they are not welcome they will very quickly go to some other house where they feel that their money is considered just as good as that of the white people.

C. from the Atlanta Constitution, of Atlanta, Ga., and would appear to prove that the promised millennium has hardly been realized in the empire state of the South." Incidentally, Georgia is supposed to be one of the dry states. Prohibition was the basis of a special legislative and not by the vote of the people. More than this, Governor Harris, the father of the recent dry bill which was enacted in the hope of making really dry a commonwealth that had enjoyed state-wide prohibition for seven or eight years, has just been defeated for a second term as Governor. And, notwithstanding the fact that he was a Confederate veteran and the custom of giving a second term to Georgia governors has been practiced for many years, Governor Harris received 70,546 votes, while his successful opponent received 111,355. The article from the LITERARY DIGEST follows: "The right to lynch is sacred in Georgia and cannot be interfered with," remarks the PORTLAND ORGONIAN as it notes that the Persons Bill, providing for the removal of a sheriff when a lynching happens in his county, was tabled by a vote of 113 to 29 the last day of the session of the House of that State. The NEW YORK EVENING POST says that Georgia has only herself to blame if the rest of the country expresses doubt of the depth of her desire to put a stop to lynching and thinks the bill's rejection is the more inexcusable as it had been amended to give an accused sheriff the right to carry his case to the legislature as a court of final appeal. It was a "bad day for Georgia," when the bill failed of enactment into law, according to the ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, which adds: "As it is, we are set back a year in the effort to redeem the State from the stigma which an extraordinary record of law violation has put upon her. We can do nothing now but wait. And in waiting we shall hope that the warning Georgia has been given will prove a deterrent sufficient to mitigate in the coming twelve months the record which in mob lawlessness put last year above all the others. "In opposing this bill there were those who were pleased to seek to defend the State against the criticisms which an excess of mob violence has brought upon us. Well and good. There is no more loyal defender of Georgia than the CONSTITUTION. We have at all times stood most stanchly for Georgia against criticism and abuse from whatever source." "But we cannot fail to recognize, nor can any man, unless he is blinded to reason or caught in the meshes of politics, that in this case the record is against us." TAXES AND BABIES. Of the 599 American cities with 10,000 or more population, over two-thirds have reported to the Federal Children's Bureau that some kind of work affecting the health of babies is carried on by the municipality from public funds, according to the Tabular Analysis of Infant-Welfare Work by Public and Private Agencies in the United States which has just been published by the Bureau. In twenty cities this week work is so highly organized that a special division devoted to child hygiene is included in the city health department. Cities of every type are found among those reporting special municipal health work for babies. In general ALL KINDS OF PRINTING INTIN PRINTING Northwest --- WONDERFUL MEDICINE.

Special municipal nurses are assigned in 63 cities to the care and instruction of prospective mothers. In 60 cities infant-welfare stations are maintained with doctors in attendance, and mothers bring their babies for weighing and advice about feeding and general care.

Many street lights are turned off or lowered at 10 p. m., so that some advantage has been gained, but not a great deal. As regards private lighting, the high price of coal has made the use of gas for cooking much more general; hence it is difficult to know economy in lighting has been made. From statistics issued by the prefecture of police, however, it appears that the advance of an hour for the summer months has saved Paris 6 per cent of its gas bills and 15 per cent of its electricity. REUNION OF BLUE AND GRAY. Two Visitors In a Dakota City Fought on Opposite Sides. Volga, S. D.—The blue and the gray had an interesting reunion in Volga when Mr. Witherspoon, a guest at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Samls, and Timothy Corcoran, who is visiting his son in Volga, chanced to meet and compare notes of the stirring days of the war of the rebellion. Witherspoon served in the Union army, while Corcoran served on the southern side. From their conversation they learned that the companies in which they served on their respective sides participated in several battles with each other, and on one occasion during a series of battles the two companies of which the two were members faced each other on the battle line. The former wearer of the blue and the former wearer of the gray became great chums as the result of their reunion. PHONE GIRL FIRE HEROINE. Sticks to Post Calling Aid Until Her Clothes Burn. New Brunswick, N. J.—Miss Belle Matthews of Jamesburg stuck at her switchboard, although flames from a fire in the big dry goods store of L. T. Bennett & Sons on Railroad avenue, Jamesburg, scorched her clothing. She coolly called on surrounding towns to send aid. The fire was in the most congested section of the town. The Jamesburg telephone exchange is located on the second floor over the Bennett store. Miss Matthews had just finished her task of getting aid when the whole lower floor of the building burst into flames. Then, with her clothing ablaze, she made her way to the street. Two houses besides the Bennett store were destroyed and others damaged by water. The damage is estimated at $20,000. Miss Matthews is the heroine of the town. SPIRIT OF '76 SEEN IN 1916 Three Little Boys Eager to Aid Uncle Sam In Mexico. New York.—Three small boys, each staggering under a knapsack and blanket roll and with a tent between them, trudged along the Jericho turnpike. Police Sergeant Byrne interviewed them at Queens village. "We're going to Mexico to fight for Uncle Sam," said the boys, "but first we're going to establish a training camp at Patchogue to get hardened up so we can march to the border." They had then walked ten miles, and when they admitted they had run away from home Byrne took them to the Jamaica police station and word was sent to their parents. The boys are Anderson Dilly, fourteen years old, and Joseph McGinnis, eleven years, both of Brooklyn, and Arthur Doughley of New York. LAMB HAS SIX LEGS. Extra Pair Behind Shoulders Do Not Bother Animal. Ogden, Utah.—A six weeks-old lamb with six legs is the jacket recently brought to this city by Frank Smythe, secretary of a big land and live stock company, from the convenant's headquarters in Boxelder county. The freak animal owned by Mr. Smythe is said to be as frisky as any normal lamb and promises to develop into a healthy sheep. The extra pair of legs are attached to the ribs just behind the shoulder blades. The limbs are somewhat crooked, theoes pointing in a variety of directions, out the extra legs do not interfere with normal use of the regular fore limbs. Leases Farm For Convicts Laporte, Ind.-Edward J. Fogarty, warden of the state prison at Michigan City, is tired of seeing "his boys" cooped up within walls working in a binder twine plant or breaking stone. The state has no money to buy a prison farm, but Fogarty is leasing 2,500 acres of land near Michigan City for farming purposes. He proposes to make it a model farm, with experts directing the work of the convicts. New Home Burns Before Wedding. Passalc, N. J.-It was John B. Stewart's misfortune to burn up his new home to be just a few hours before Miss Madeleine Ember became his wife. The couple visited the house to start a fire in the range. A defective fire soon set the house in flames. Some of the new furniture was saved, and be wedding was not delayed. JAPAN'S PREMIER. New Head of Government Favors Greater Empire. FORMERLY GOVERNED KOREA. In 1912 Discovery of Plot to Assassinate Him Promised For Time to Bring About International Complications. In 1905 He Entertained Secretary of War Taft. Washington.—Count Terauchi, whose selection for premier of Japan is construed here as foreshadowing an aggressive national policy, was Japan's minister of war throughout her war with Russia. He continued to hold the portfolio through several cabinets until 1908. In 1905 he entertained Secretary of War Taft while the latter was on his trip around the world, and a friendship that still continues was born at that time. When Japan annexed Korea, in 1910, Count Terauchi was made governor general, and in the following year he was raised in rank from viscount to count. In 1912 the discovery of a plot to assassinate him promised for a time to bring about international complications, for among the 123 native Christians arrested on charges of being in the cabal were a number of American missionaries, among them Bishop M. C. Harris of the Methodist Episcopal church. The charges against all but five of the suspects were not substantiated. When Count Okuma retired as premier not long ago it was generally expected that Count Terauchi would succeed him. There was some openly expressed opposition to this, because Terauchi has long been known as an expansionist having large ideas regarding the needs of the Japanese army and navy. He has, however, always stood high in the esteem of the elder statesmen. HAPPY OVER JAIL TERM. Thirty Years' Sentence Fails to Deject Prisoner. Riverhead, N. Y. "Gee! I'm glad to get away from Long Island for thirty years, even if I have to spend the time in Sing Sing," said Grant Griffith of Shelter Island, N. Y., just after County Judge John R. Vunk of Suffolk had sentenced him to Sing Sing for thirty years and eight months. Griffiths pleaded guilty to setting fire to the Strong Bros' livery stable in Easthampton, to "get square" with one of the owners for a fancied wrong. He told how he waited until the employees were asleep, then ignited kerosene around the horses' feet. The building and several horses were burned. HITCH WOMAN WITH MULE. When Sheriff's Men Rescue Her She Attacks Them With Ax. Lincoln, Neb.—A woman hitched with a mule to a wagon and driving slowly down the road near the state prison was picked up by Sheriff Hyers. She gave the name of Mrs. Hopkins and said that her husband had been driving her as he would an animal. The man denied the story in part and insisted that he had taken his turn in the harness beside the mule. When the man entered the sheriff's automobile the woman attempted to beat the officers off with an ax, insisting that they should give up "her man." New York—Five-year-old Charles Donaldson of Yonkers, N. Y., to make his-play more realistic, set fire to some sticks and paper in the attic where his mother had sent him to play "fire engine." It took the real fire department to finish the game. "Those fire engines of mine were the faults of it, mother," Charles confessed. "If I had a big engine, like the chief, I could have put it out just like he did." RECRUIT BY FIRE. RECRUIT BY FIRE. Revive Ancient Method of Callin Men to Arms. Meetings Held In New Brunswick With Torches and 'Pipers' Bands, Scotch Dancers and Orators, the Latter Chiefly Returned Soldiers—Expect to Fill Depleted Ranks: Bangor, Me.—People living along the American shore of the St. Croix river got the impression one night recently that the entire province of New Brunswick was burning up, for everywhere on the Canadian side of the line the sky was ashame, as if reflecting a great conflagration. There were no devastating fires in the province, however. It was merely the revival of an ancient Scottish method of calling men to arms. The light came from many huge bombs (benecos) kindled on hills and mountains as signals that men were wanted for the Two Hundred and Thirty-sixth kittles regiment. On fifteen heights the fires blazed, and in as many cities and towns meetings were held, with torches and pipers' bands, Scottish dancers and onitors, the bitter chiefly returned soldiers. It was planned to hold these meetings fifteen nights, so that there will be 225 meetings in all, and at the end, it is expected, the depleted ranks of the regiment will be filled. All sorts of recruiting schemes have been tried in the maritime province each with some degree of success, but it is believed that for bringing Scots and their descendants to the colors there is nothing like the revival of the old highland war beacons and the sound of the pipes. BABY TOSSES JEWELS AWAY. Policeman Thanked For Recovering Precious Bag. New York.-- Frank A. Berthold, who recently moved from Ridgewood, N. J., to a Riverside drive apartment, started with his wife and baby on an automobile trip. He decided that his wife's jewels, worth about $10,000, would be safer in the automobile than in the Riverside drive apartment. When they started the beaded bag holding the jewelry was tightly clasped in Mrs. Berthold's hand. As they approached the steep ascent on River road, Edgewater, about a mile above the Fort LEE ferry, Mrs. Berthold thought she had better use both hands to hold the baby. The baby also glanced at the steep hill ahead and without a word to anybody lightened the car by $10,000 worth of jewelry and a beaded bag. The loss was discovered near Englewood cliffs. At the Edgewater police station Mr. Berthold recovered the bag and its contents. Patrolman Frank Joret found it. Mr. Berthold thanked him. REMOVES APPENDIX AT SEA. First Successful Operation of the Kind to Be Performed on Ocean to be Performed on Ocean. San Francisco.—The first successful operation for appendicitis performed on the Pacific ocean was revealed here on the arrival of the United States transport Sheridan from Manila via Honolulu. Major E. A. Dean of the United States medical corps performed the operation on Milton S. Finch, a private soldier. When the Sheridan was three days from this port Finch was suddenly stricken with appendicitis. Major Dean, an army surgeon, returning from the Philippines on the Sheridan, was called in and asked to operate on Finch, and while the Sheridan plowed through the waves he removed the appendix. Finch recovered rapidly from the operation and was removed to the army hospital at the Presidio when the Sheridan arrived. COW AUCTIONED FOR $6,150. Charles L. A. Whitney Sets World's Record For a Guernsey, North Easton, Mass.-The "cow that jumped over the moon" did not achieve the heights of fame among dairy farmers gained by Langwater Dalrymaid, a Guernsey of purest blood. She is the highest priced Guernsey cow in the world, having sold at auction under the bidding of wealthy farmers from all parts of the country for $6,150. Charles L. A. Whitney of Albany, N. Y., was the buyer, F. Lathrop Ames of North Easton the former owner. BURGLAR COMES BACK. Farmer Who Chuckled at Oversight Losses Again. New York.—After Henry Van Dohlen, a farmer of West Hempstead, was robbed of $19 local newspapers told how Van Dohlen was laughing because the burglar overlooked $175 in a sideboard drawer. A few nights later the 1715 again broke into the house and took the $175. He didn't disturb anything else. Lone Vote Makes Him Candidate. Detroit, Mich.-The name of Henry R. Pettingill of Lansing, who received one vote in the August primary, will appear on the Michigan general election ballot as Progressive candidate for governor. And unless he files his statement of campaign expenses he will be subject to the penalties of the corrupt practices act. First to See Them Since Explorer Radford Was Murdered. Saskatoon, Sask.—The tribe of blond Eskimos which Harry V. Radford of New York, the murdered explorer, reported he had found on Coronation bluff, far in the arctic zone, have again been visited by a white man. In a letter received from the Rev. H. Girling of Emmanuel college by the Rev. Dr. Carpenter, principal of the college, the missionary announced he reached the tribe Oct. 10, 1915, and remained with them some time. He asserts he is the first white man to dwell among the new found people, who since their discovery have constituted an ethnological mystery and formed the goal of unsuccessful expeditions. The letter was dated last December from "Camp Necessity" ten miles from the blond tribe, the first of whom the missionary said he found about ten miles east of Cockburn point. Girling said the language of the fair skinned race has only a dialectic difference from that of the Mackenzie river Eskimos. JAP HONEYMOON SHIP FOR SAN FRANCISCO Bringing Eighty-six Brides With Husbands Twenty Picture Brides Claimed on Landing. San Francisco.—"Carrying: eighty-six newly married Japanese couples," says the Japan Advertiser, as quoted in the East and West News, "the Shinyo Maru of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha might well have been called a 'honeymoon ship' when she steamed out of Yokohama harbor for San Francisco. "This title has an added significance in the fact that the Shinyo had among her passengers twenty Japanese girls, 'picture brides,' on their way to San Francisco, where they will be claimed by twenty expectant youths. It has long been a custom among Japanese residents in America to wed girls chosen in Japan by matrimonial agencies. For years these agencies did a land office business, but with disappointment on the part of some of the walking bridegrooms and charges of dishonesty, the agencies lost favor. This explains the coming of the eighty-six men to Japan; where they could learn more about their future brides than by studying a photograph." The Shinyo carried a record passenger list of 551 for the line, namely, 211 first class, 73 second class and 667 steerage, as well as a large and valuable cargo of raw silk and tea. CHICAGO'S MAYOR IS RAIDED. Anti-Vice Detectives Also: Search Police Chief's Office. Chicago.—Armed with subpoenas authorizing search and seizure, detectives from State Attorney Hoyne's office conducted a spectacular raid on the offices of Mayor William Hale Thompson; Chief of Police Healey, M. L. C. Funkhouser, deputy superintendent of police, and appropriated files of correspondence to determine if vice and gambling have existed here with the knowledge and consent of the city officials. The raid was the climax of the controversy between city hall officials and the state attorney, in which Hoyne has charged that open gambling flourished, saloons were allowed to violate the Sunday closing ordinance and that vicious resorts were gaining headway with the connivance of local politicians. GIVES COLLEGE FIRST $1,000. University of Chicago, Man Was Graduated Last Year. Chicago.—James V. Nash, a 1915 graduate of the University of Chicago, instead of waiting until wealthy to remember his alma mater, has given the university the first $1,000 he saved, it was announced. Nash, a Chicagoan, worked his way through college. Fish Returns Lost Pocketbook. Toms River, N. J.-Toms River boasts of an honest fish. At least that's the version Edward Crabbe, a wealthy cranberry grower of Beechwood, gives of the recovery of a purse by Mrs. Mary Schwartz of the local laundry. Crabbe was fishing. A savage tug at his line presaged a game battle, but the fish got away. Crabbe reeled in to rebault his hook. On it was a purse containing $1 and some silver. Mrs. Schwartz identified it as her property. Old Men Receps on Laying. Beaverdale, Pa.—Thomas Mannlon of 4 Beaverdale street is the owner of a hen which is thirty-six years old: She is not suffering from old age or debility either. Instead, she hatches out one or two settings of eggs each year and is still laying. The owner does not claim she lives every day, but she does lay as well as the average chicken. Gone Forty-four years; Declared Dead. New Castle, Pa.—William J. Jones, who disappeared in 1872, has been declared legally dead by Judge S. P. Emery on the petition of a brother, C. L.

Cincinnati.—Beatrice Bunning, fourteen years old, of South Fort Thomas, Ky., has been presented with a lot 50 by 150 feet by Blair P. Wilson of Huntington, W. Va., a capitalist. Beatrice was blackberry picking when she found what she thought was a piece of glass. She saw Wilson inspecting some grading and showed the "glass" to him. The instant Wilson saw the "glass" he felt his tie. He found his diamond stud valued at $875 missing. "I've lost my diamond; let me see what you found," he said. The piece of "glass" was his diamond. "I am a lucky man to get it back so quickly, and you are a lucky girl to find it," he said to Miss Bunning. "I'm going to give you one of these lots." Edna T. Gordon Edna T.

It will take more than two or three years of enforced diet of straight meat and fish and a loss of hair to seriously set back the bear population of Kadiak island, according to D. Winn of the United States bureau of fisheries. Kadiak island, says Mr. Winn, in 1912 was covered with volcanic ash at no point at a depth less than eleven inches. The ash killed all vegetation, and as all bears are fond of a mixed diet of meat, fish and vegetables, they found 1913 and 1914 unpleasant from a dietary standpoint. Another effect of the fall of ash, according to Mr. Winn, was the havoc it created with the furry coats of the animals. Bald headed bears are now as common on Kadiak island as bald headed men in the front row of a musical comedy. The ash sifted down on to the skins of the animals as it fell, and the first rain turned it to lye, which had the effect of almost tanning the skins of the bears while yet a part of their personal effects. WHITTLES VIOLIN FINGERS. Player Hopes to Increase His Proficiency by Surgery. Wichita, Kan.—In order to become a more proficient violin artist Mark Sandfort, a member of an orchestra here, had a piece of flesh taken from each of his six fingers. The incisions were drawn together and sewn with horsehair. The operation was performed by Dr. H. S. Hickok, and Sandfort will be able to remove the bandages soon. Sandfort has won a reputation as a violinist. However, his execution of musical selections was not as good as he desired it to be. He hit upon a plan. He would have his fingers whittled down. He waited until the season closed and had the operation performed. According to physicians, this is the first time that an operation of this kind has been performed. BOY FALLS; SERVICE STOPS. Pastor and Congregation See Lad Hit by Electroli Current. Little Rock, Ark.—Kenneth McEwen, eleven years of age, was electrocuted thirty feet in the air on a lighting tower in view of the congregation of a church that was holding services on the church lawn because of the heat. The boy was knocking the wire that supplied current to the lights on the tower against the steel frame to produce sparks. Suddenly a flash of blue flames enveloped him, and he plunged downward, fracturing his skull on the pavement below. He died in a hospital a few minutes later. The pastor of the church, the Rev. E. P. Aldridge, was preaching a special sermon to boys. He rushed over, aled in placing the dying lad in an ambulance and then resumed his sermon, using the accident as a warning to the bovs Englishwomen Tallest. New York. After taking measurements of the height of women in France, England and America, a doctor announces that the Englishwoman is the tallest and the American comes next.

American women are heavier, their average weight being about 117 pounds.
