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 NINETEENTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH Rededication of This Old Landmark. Hundreds Attended the Services—Rev. Walter H. Brooks Delivered a Masterful Sermon. The New Church Dress and Decorations Give the Church a Gorgeous Appearance—The People, Respond Liberally to the Pastor's and Trustees' Call. Sunday morning the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church was regailed in a new dress and costly ornaments. The choir removed itself from behind the congregation to a more commanding position, where it could look the people in the face. It has been placed behind the pastor on an elevation which can render its sweet anthems and other selections to the satisfaction of the vast assembly, such as appeared last Sabbath morning. The church has undergone several thousand dollars' worth of repairs; indeed, it is virtually a new church, considering the economic conditions of money by the trustees of the church, who contracted for the repairs and supervi Even the organ put on dress attire, as did the singers and the director, all of whom wore white gowns and vestry hats. The rear of the main auditorium has been extended as well as the lecture room below. The vestibule of the church has a commanding entrance. Fully fifty people can conveniently assemble, in it. The Decorations. The pulpit and choir enclosure were a bed of palms and varigated flowers of the most costly kind. This decoration was the work of Mr. Jos. H. Holmes. At the appointed hour the services began. The choir rendered a fine selection. The dedication prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Dean, formerly pastor of Walker Memorial Baptist Church. It was very touching. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., preached a great sermon. He was himself again. That old-time vigor and eloquence had returned to him which almost shook the very walls of the church. At the conclusion of his sermon he requested the captains, or otherwise the money getters or debt payers, to stand before him, and each, W. H. which numbered fully twenty or thirty men and women, seemed to have in their possession the amount the pastor and trustees said they wanted-$2,500 (two thousand and five hundred dollars). The chairman of the trustee board and his associates wore a dignified smile of much solemnity. Trustee Hill wore his Chesterfield frock, while Deacon Charles W. Marshall was much in evidence. Chairman William I. Lee assumed the air of "monarch of all I survey." Chairman E. L. Conway, leader of the male forces, and Miss Ella M. Boston, at the head of the auxiliary forces, wore a smile that will not come off. Historian M. C. Maxfield was a looker-on and a liberal contributor to the improvement fund. Arthur F. Barton, John M. Brown, Austin Fincklin, David W. Parker of New York City, Bennie Washington, C. R. Tucker, Fernanda D. Lee, C. D. Freeman, Mr. and Mrs. William Torrey, were all there and did their "bit." Mr. Torrey is one of the best known business men in this city and a strong supporter of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. One good sister and admirer of Rev. Brooks expressed her sympathy for the pastor when he remarked that he was suffering with a headache Sunday. The good sister said, please don't work my pastor so hard; we can't afford to lose. Those who could not walk to church, came in vehicles. It was a day of Thanksgiving; it was a day that will be memorable to the hundreds of worshippers. The beautiful rebuilt house of worship was dedicated to Almighty God. The pastor, Rev. W. H. Brooks, who has faithfully served the church for more than thirty years, was in charge of the exercises. After the entrance of the vested choir, under the leadership of Prof. A. D. Smith, with Mrs. Lena Ware at the organ, were held the devotional exercises, consisting of congregational Scripture reading and singing of that old soul-stirring hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." The pastor's text was from the Book of Genesis, 28:16-17, subject, "The House of God." He preached an eloquent sermon, portraying the Christian Church building as the dwelling place of God's Spirit, as a holy place, as a place of prayer, as a place of salvation for sinners, as a place of Christian fellowship, and as the gateway of Heaven for mankind. The captains of the rally were introduced by the pastor. The choir rendered excellent music, and the organ voluntary by Mrs. Ware, the organist, demonstrated her skill in handling the large new pipe organ. Prayer was offered by Rev. Breman and the collection raised. After a hymn, the benediction. This service occupied one and one-half hours, and closed the great event of the dedication of the temple of God. Much credit is given to the Trustee Board for their work. They builted well and proved their craftsmanship, delivering to the people a handsome and substantial structure for religious worship. The members of the Board are Wm. I. Lee, chairman; Messrs. Benjamin Washington, Ed. Moten, Charles S. Hill, William Loney, J. R. Brown, Dr. Price, William Young and Isaac Scott. Mr. Edward A. Gantt, church clerk. The sum of $2,200 was raised Sunday, and it is believed that the balance of $300 will be raised by Sunday, the 28th, making a total of $2,500, as needed. During the week the following was the program: Monday night, organ recital, by Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, assisted by Miss Estelle Pinkney. Tuesday night, sermon by Rev. Smith, of Lincoln Park Temple. Wednesday night, sermon by Rev W. M. Norman, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church. Thursday night, sermon by Rev Powell, pastor of Liberty Baptist Church, who so kindly gave their church for the use of Nineteenth Street Church during the time of its repairs. Friday night, Rev. Peyton Randolph, pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. This brought to a close a week's service of devotional and praise service to God for His wonderful works and His goodness to this special branch of Zion. "I love Thy church, O Lord, The house of Thine abode: The place our blest Redeemer saved With His own precious Blood." Rev. Brooks said, in part: The heaven of heavens cannot contain God. (Kings 8:27-30.) God is everywhere. All things, in all the universe, all beings, great and small, are in His presence, as I am today in yours, and you are in mine. Nevertheless, it is in keeping with the Holy Scriptures to speak of God as dwelling with men, and of His holy habitation. Thus the patriarch Jacob, when deeply and solemnly impressed with the truth that he was in the very presence of God, exclaimed: "This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!" In keeping with this language of accommodation, is the prayer of the Psalmist. "Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth." (Ps. 80:1) But the Psalmist is not original in THE WOMEN'S HISTORY Abraham Lincoln visited her home during the Civil War and ordered it to be removed to establish Fort Stevens, Washington's only defense, where he directed the Union Army, the first and only time, as Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States personally taking charge of the army. This Fort saved the City of Washington when General Early made his attack in July, 1864. Her present home is within one hundred feet of the place where the Fort was erected. (This photograph of Elizabeth Thomas was inade with General Alexander McCook and General Thomas M. Vincent of Ohio in the background, at the dedication of the Fort.) This noble woman is dead and was buried Wednesday afternoon from her late home at Fort Stevens in Harmony Cemetery. FUNERAL OF MRS. ELIZABETH THOMAS. pastor of the church, officiated, assisted by Rev. Logan Johnson. D. D. Nestled in a bed of floral tributes which were many and patriotic, in her patriotic parlor, under Abraham Lincoln's picture which hung from the wall, was the handsome black broadcloth casket, relieved by silver trimmings, which held all that remained mortal of Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas, who for ninety-six years breathed the air of the free-born at Fort Stevens, where she presided over the valuable estate which was left her by, her ancestors, with the case and dignity of a queen. This floral setting, the gifts of the family and her many friends, testified to the fact that her kindness, love and justice, which she administered to all, was reciprocated by her little community, which reverenced and honored her. After prayer by her pastor, Rev. C. James Henderson, of Trinity A. M. E. Church, the pallbearers bore the casket down the steps of her terraced cottage, between a double file of regalied patriarchs of the G. U. O. of Good Shepherds, to the auto-hearse below. As the long train of autos which composed the funeral train passed through the village the community at large ceased from their labor and stood at attention while Mrs. Thomas was going on her last trip. It was noticeable that even the beasts of the field, the cows she loved so well, paused for awhile, ceased their grazing, and followed the cortege as far as the wire fence which confined them permitted. Reaching the church at a few minutes to 10 o'clock, where the funeral services were held, Rev. Henderson, this figure of speech, for, centuries before, God had said to Moses: "And thou shalt put the mercy seat above the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. And there I will meet with thee; and I will commune with thee from the above mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel." (Exodus 25: 21-22.) This spot of ground is our Bethel; this place of worship which we have erected and now dedicate is to us "the house of God" and to so many who have here enjoyed blessed fellowship with God and anticipate the higher joys in the "assembly of the last made perfect" this is also "the gate of heaven." pastor of the church, officiated, assisted by Rev. Logan Johnson, D. D., the former pastor; Rev. S. Miller, D. D., of St. Luke's Church, Brightwood, D. C.; and W. A. Jones, of Rock Creek Baptist, and Rev. E. Burrell. While all of these pastors paid a glowing tribute to the life of the deceased, yet it was left to Rev. Johnson, who knew her best, to portray the reminiscences of her life, which he did graphically and well. Rev. Henderson, the pastor, ably preached the funeral sermon, selecting as his text Mark 15:8. This masterful and eloquent sermon proved to be a monument which he unconsciously erected in the hearts of his listeners which is destined to defy the ravages of time, particularly the parts which he said, "she hath done what she could for herself; she hath done what she could for her family." WAS IT EVER ACTED ON? S. 4307. Sixty-third Congress, Second Session. In the Senate of the United States, February 2, 1914. Mr Martine of New Jersey introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Claims: A bill for the relief of Elizabeth Thomas: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to pay to Elizabeth Thomas, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $10,000, the same being due her at the close of the Civil War. When we stop to weigh the expression, "the house of God," the picture of the tabernacle, and its holy precincts, stand out in our thought. Within its courts the sinful and the vile find pardon and cleansing, through sacrificial blood; in the holy place its golden altar reminds us of the prayers and praises of the saints of God; the shewbread suggests "the bread of life," and in the burning lamp we behold the type of Him who says, "I am the light of the world." But beyond the veil, he who enters into the most holy place by the blood of sacrifice, and with the golden inscription upon his brow, "holin-ss unto the Lord" standing within that place where the only light is the light that emanates from Him, who dwell- DR. GEORGE W. CABANISS. Recognized by the Government at Washington — Eminent Physician Appointed at the Head of the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Meade—Mrs. Cabaniss' Work at Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. George W. Cabaniss, of this city, whose services were appreciated and recognized by the Government while at the training camp in Iowa, has been designated by the Government to take charge of the Young Men's Christian Association at Camp Meade. No one has rendered better service to the Government and his people while in Iowa than this distinguished physician. He was ably assisted by his wife, Mrs. Cabaniss, who put on her working gowns and sewed buttons on the clothing of the colored officers, cared for many of them who were sick and unable to help themselves. She did remarkable work at the training camp in Iowa, which was complimented by the commanding officer. No one exerted greater influence over the men than Dr. Cabaniss, who had the respect and confidence of the commanding officers and all other Government officials. The Bee in this connection will cite one incident of the many. Two District men, well known in this city, were recommended for dismissal for a gross violation of orders issued by the commanding officer. Dr. Cabaniss took their case and made such an argument plea for the two young men that persuaded the commanding officer to exercise leniency, and the final outcome was that they were pardoned and commissioned first lieutenants. It was the marvel of the camp. This was only one case of many kind acts performed by this Christian physician. The Bee extends its congratulations to Dr. and Mrs. George W. Cabaniss.

It is one of his master poems, which should be in the home of every colored citizen. HOWARD'S ANNIVERSARY. Big Reception to the Officers This Saturday Evening. Manager Andrew J.

NUITER HE IS NOT GUILTY The Brilliant Atlantic City Attorney Vindicated. Brother Lawyer Failed to Prove His Charges of Alienation—Jury Out Two Hours—Great Array of Counsel. Attorney J. H. Nutter, one of the most brilliant lawyers in the East and a man who has earned a fortune by his legal ability, was charged some time ago by Walter Comer with the alienation of his wife's affections and sued for $50,000 for damages, was vindicated Tuesday evening. October 23rd, after the jury had been out two hours. Not only was Attorney Nutter vindicated, but the wife of Attorney Comer was also vindicated. The argument of counsel occupied two hours, and the jury was out that length of time in reaching a verdict for Attorney Nutter and Mrs. Comer. There has never been a case that has created more of a sensation and interest than the present one. Isaac H. Nutter, Esq., is not only a prominent lawyer in Atlantic City, but he is one of the leading politicians in the State. By attention to business and perseverance he has accumulated considerable property and has won a reputation of which anyone may feel proud. The evidence in this case showed that Attorney Nutter was acting in a professional way and wished to be relieved on account of the jealousy of the husband, but the father of the young lady would not consent to relieve Mr. Nutter from the case of his daughter, that he was responsible for Attorney Nutter remaining in the case. The Atlantic City daily press prints the following as was testified by Mr. Samuel Gordon, father of Mrs. Comer: Samuel Gordon, for forty years messenger to the governors of New Jersey and father of Mrs. Comer, was the star witness of the day, for he assumed the entire responsibility for his daughter's relations with Attorney Nutter, first as counsellor upon her arrival in Atlantic City on the initial trip from home protection to teach in the local schools, and later as lawyer when trouble began with her jealous husband. Mr. Gordon testified that Nutter had asked to be relieved of the task when it became unpleasant because of the attitude of Comer, but that he had refused to consent. He declared he had warned his daughter against marrying Comer and reminded her of this fact when the marital differences started. Mrs. Comer, who followed her father upon the witness stand, denied with emphasis that Nutter's conduct towards her had ever been of an improper character or had been such as to entice her away from her husband. She said she finally left Comer because of his nocturnal habits, going to the home of her father in Trenton. The plaintiff tried to show that she did not leave in a passion, but deliberately chose her convenience to go after the schools in which she continued to teach had closed for the summer vacation. Her need of counsel from Nutter, as attorney, in any matters except those concerning her relations with her husband was also questioned. It was charged, too, that trouble between Comer and his father-in-law was caused by Nutter's carrying gossip to Mr. Gordon, but Mrs. Comer declared she had not told her father at first and had requested Nutter not to do so, fearing the "I told you so," but had finally had to tell her father. Mrs. Comer declared that trouble in the home was due in part to Comer's intemperance and habit of remaining out until 2 and 3 in the morning. After the jury returned a verdict for Attorney Nutter and vindicated Mrs. Comer, hundreds of friends of Attorney Nutter and Mrs. Comer offered their congratulations. The people will know of it, if it appears in The Bce. Read The Nee if you want to know who is in the city. SATURDAY SERMONS BY UNUS When I was a boy a certain Professor X. used to make periodical visits to our town to lecture. He was always accompanied by his son Rolla, who varied the program with slight-of-hand performances. The Professor would always lecture on any subject desired by the citizens of the town, except politics and religion. I wish to follow the example of Professor X, and, upon request of any reader addressed to Unus, care of The Bec. I will endeavor to preach on any subject requested, provided that it promises to be of general interest. But I cannot promise the readers any legerdemain. In a recent issue, Mr. Cunningham was kind enough to praise my sermons, and he suggested that I call myself Doctor Unus. That certainly would look nice and sound nice, but Editor Chase tells me the engraver would charge him $4 to change this heading. So there! I seize this occasion to return Dr. Cunningham's compliment, and to say that for years I have read his occasional letters in the local press with much profit. He ought to write for The Bee oftener. Speaking of conferring titles, Doctor C., it is sometimes a risky business, for example: A preacher down in Texas decided to establish a college. He established one on paper, assumed the presidency and appointed his two sons members of the faculty, the three constituting the entire faculty. The sons immediately conferred on the old man the degree D. D. He returned the compliment by conferring on each of them the degree Ph. D. But the proposed college did not materialize; the scheme went up the spout. There never was any college, and yet here were three proud degrees. Falsus in uno; falsus in omnibus (fallacious in part, fallacious in toto). The old logicians sometimes used this latter phrase to characterize a conclusion where the major or minor premise was faulty, or unsound. It is applicable to characterize any structure, any parts of whose foundation is unsound. THE BEE COLLEGE. Speaking of text college, I am reminded that for some time I have been cogitating on the idea that The Bee would do a good thing to start a sort of correspondence school for the benefit of its readers, and establish a department in the paper modeled after the Chautauqua School. Call it The Bee College. All sorts of practical subjects could be covered. Observe that I use the word "covered" and not the word "taught." The word "teach" is too often misused. After a pupil leaves the primary grades, the function of the teacher is mainly to guide the student and to keep him at work. The Bee College could do that admirably. I fear we attach too much importance to the regular courses in the high schools and colleges. It is possible for any busy man or woman to acquire a good practical education by home study, with a little guidance by a competent scholar. The Bee can find a number of scholars in Washington who would be willing to serve on the staff of The Bee College. By this scheme, also, I think I see a way for both Dr. Cunningham and me to get a bona fide degree. CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE Section 1.

In the center of the table was a large cake, in which were wax candles and at 11.30 p. m. they were lighted by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hebron and Mrs. Elizabeth Connor, which was the hour of her birthday! The guests, headed by Mr. W. E. Smoot and Mrs. Ella Connor, repaired to the dining room, while the sweet strains of music gave impetus to the soul. At this juncture Mr. Smoot, master of ceremonies, delivered a most timely address. Among other things, he portrayed the virtues of the hostess and in whose honor the occasion was celebrated. He told how she was loved, honored and respected by her neighbors and the community at large. He spoke of her charitable disposition and how she helps the needy.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG There are so many so-called hair-growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In decidir what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Secby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Ointment, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th St., New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS The most quiet man this day and time is my friend, R. R. Horner. What has come over him? He is neither talking war nor politics. Perhaps he is tired of politics and is not interested in the war. *** My friend, Andrew J. Thomas, will celebrate the seventh anniversary of the management of Howard Theatre. I would suggest that some kind of a token of appreciation from the citizens in this city should be given. Now, who will start it? I don't know of a more suitable man than my good friend Lassiter. He is an organizer. The Sage suggests that he call around him some of his friends and start the movement. There is a great deal of talk going around about the selection of Mr. Emmett J. Scott as national advisor of Secretary of War Baker over the colored question. I am an admirer of Mr. Scott, and I think that the Secretary has made a wise selection so far as obtaining information concerning colored people throughout this country. If there is any man in this country who knows the colored brother, it is Mr. Scott. As the pupil of the late Booker T. Washington, an opportunity was given him to know and study the colored brother in all phases. Mr. Scott is a good writer and a smooth talker. Just what Mr. Scott's duties are, the Sage is unable to state, but I suppose if the Secretary wants to know something about the characteristics of some colored brother in some State, Brother Scott will be able to tell him. Some few days ago a colored guard of the First Separate Battalion, Colored, had occasion to kill a white mechanic because he refused to obey his orders or come to a halt when he was commanded to do so. The colored guard was arrested and is to stand trial. I want to ask a few questions: First. Was the colored guard lawfully stationed at his post? Second. What were his instructions? Third. Was he commanded to shoot if his orders were not obeyed? Fourth. Did he carry out the instructions given him; if so, why was he arrested, and why is he confided? This is where the National A-soitation for the Advancement of Colored People should play its part. Why hasn't counsel been selected for the colored trooper? Suppose the white carpenter were a German spy and he had passed the guard and blew up the camp. What would have become of the guard? I deplore wilful murder as much as anybody else, but I don't see where the guard is guilty of any violation of law or subordination of the rules of the army. It is not my belief that the colored trooper knew who the white carpenter was. No colored soldier will commit wilful murder. Let all the facts come out in this case and give the colored trooper a square deal. Suppose the victim of the late unhappy event had eluded the guard and gone in and some great damage had been done. The city would have said "Nigger" soldiers are no good, anyway. The colored citizens should come together and see that this colored soldier has counsel. He is not guilty of any offense. It is about time for these acts of humiliation to cease against colored Americans. Well, I see that my old friend, Walter J. Singleton, continues to come up smiling. There must be a drawing card in Walter's pocket. The next Mu-So-Lit election will decide his fate one way or another. * * * Speaking about progressive men, I don't know of a more progre sive man than my good friend, Andrew J. Thomas: Everything he touches is money. This seventh anniversary of his stewardship of Howard Theatre will be one great event. All Washington should turn out as an evidence of its esteem and appreciation. Both Mr. Thomas and his house manager, Mr. Byers, are entitled to the support and patronage of the people during the anniversary week. Mr. Thomas, as well as his assistant, have done all in their power to give the people in this city such performances that cannot be witnessed elsewhere. The Sage would suggest that some kinw of token of appreciation be given to Mr. Thomas. *** *** When I think of the superior education that some men possessed when they attempted to run banks and building associations in this city, and compare them to men who have risen from hodecarriers and sanitators to presidents of banks and building associations, I cannot help from admiring. them. I have in view in particular the little Napoleon of finance, John W. Lewis, who has demonstrated his ability to do that in which others have ignominiously failed. One hundred thousand colored people in this city, and not one-tenth of them are depositors in their own bank, which is as sound and as strong as the government liberty bonds. While I am opposed to segregation in any and all shapes, it has forced the colored citizen to do that which he would not do by persuasion. I don't mean that colored citizens should not patronize firms conducted by white citizens. I mean to say that they should support those who support any recognize them, be they white or black, democrats or republicans. Lawyer Jones, who ventured a trip to Baltimore, Md., last week, who had been called there on a legal case, got lost a little before he arrived at Relay. He didn't have his chauffeur and decided to pilot his own car. Not only did he get lost, but his electric motor refused to act. Thomas is of the opinion that he is a good driver of a car, as he is a lawyer, and he ventured to take a chance. There is something about Lawyer Jones that one cannot help but admire. As a lawyer he is a success, no matter what his other faults may be. There are some good men at the bar. There is one man who attends to his own business and no doubt one of the best civil lawyers at the bar, Attorney W. C. Morton. Attorney P. W. Frisby is another good civil lawyer and a very careful one. Joseph H. Stewart is a genial individual and a lawyer who depends on himself. Attorneys L. W. King, Thomas Walker, Fountain Peyton, Royal Hughes. There is my friend, J. M. Ricks, who is a hustler and extends a glad hand to every lawyer who is able to save a dollar. There is the only veteran, John W. Moss. There was a time when a $5 line or a $25 fine for contempt of court was no more than fifty drops a minute of Patrick O'Connor's fire-water. Contempt of court is a passing event with Lawyer Moss. Attorney C: S. Williams is making a record, so is my friend, Charles S. Hill. Both are making good. I have only given a few of the successful lawyers at the bar who are defending the interests of their people. My friend, Harry L. Tignore, is rising. His star is in the limelight. I shall deal more fully with others in my next. * * * The association recently organized is progressing, so to speak. There is a great deal for it to do before it reaches perfection. Colored lawyers, like colored agitators, get tired too quickly. My friend, Hewlett, never gets tired. He is the watchdog at the court, fearless and independent. There has been trouble in the Odd Fellows' camp. It is rumored that the defeat of a certain high Odd Fellows' official who was defeated took vengeance on his better half. It is unfortunate that a helpless female should suffer on account of her husband's troubles. *** The citizens of Washington are great people for worshipping false gods. As soon as an individual receives official recognition by any administration the lackey begin to swarm around him. When Jim Harolson came to Congress, black as he was, the lackies used him. Rainey was worn out and cast aside. Gov. White followed suit. He attended every sundown entertainment. He soon passed out of sight. John R. Lynch and B. K. Bruce became unpopular because the lackies could not use them. Mr. Bruce had a good heart. He helped his enemies more than he did his friends. John F. Cook was the idol of the people before he assumed office. He soon isolated himself after he accumulated wealth and died unnoticed. Speaking of a citizens' association, one is badly needed in this city. My friend, W. W. Martin, has not been paid for the last banquet that was given by the so-called citizens' association. Mr. Martin has been promised payment, but it doesn't seem to come. Andrew J. Thomas Mr. Andrew I. Thomas, proprietor of the Howard Theatre, will celebrate the seventh anniversary of the man- agement of that theatre. No theatrical manager in this country has given the people of all classes more real pleasure than Mr. Thomas. Anniversary week should be attended by all Washington as an evidence of the esteem and appreciation the people have for the efforts of the management of this theatre to please them. A. H.

WASHINGTON, D. C. REPAIRING NEATLY DONE PAST AND PRESENT FAILURE DUE TO TWO "T's" AND "U." The Majority at Times Must Yield to the Minority. Education, Academic and Industrial, Needed—Majority Not Seeking College Training—Nature, Heredity and Environment Control. The failure of the past and the present generations is due to incompetency, impracticability and unpreparedness. In every walk, avenue and sphere of life, whether public or private, professional or non-professional, one or more of these defects are conspicuously present. In State and Nation, in organizations, financial, commercial, industrial, political, educational or beneficial or benevolent, the above essentials to the successful operation of the various concerns are lacking, to the injury, impairment or detriment of the rights, privileges or interests of others. The above faults must be remeded, if material, constructive and substantial progress is to be achieved individually and collectively in life's numerous avocations and in worldly affairs, either local or general. The ambition of individuals to aspire for positions of note, renown and fame, that is, by way of illustration, to become legislative, executive and judicial officers of State and Nation; to become officials of business concerns; to become political leaders; to become the heads of educational institutions, and to become officers of beneficial and benevolent organizations, regardless of whether or not they are qualified to discharge the duties incumbent upon them, are largely responsible for present-day failures. In the main, the principal cause of qualified individuals being subordinated to those who are unqualified is that either an unknowing, misinformed or unthinking majority dictates and controls a knowing, an informed or thinking minority. The remedy for this lamentable condition of affairs is that at times the majority must yield to the minority for the best interests of the whole, for neither is always right nor is either always wrong. Acceleration and not retardation should be the aim, putpose and object of the whole, if advancement, progress and success is to be ultimately achieved. The kind and the character of education the American colored man should receive has been discussed by statesmen, real and would-be, big and little; by men, white and colored, friend and foe; by the press, daily and weekly, at home and abroad, and by Gentile and Jew. The fact is, many in this country believe that the man of color is only fitted for industrial and manual labor. About a half of a century ago the giant leaders of abolition did not conceive, with their culture, intellect and powers, of perception, that the colored man should be only trained for industrial and manual labor. From his exit through freedom's gate to the time of the industrial "hue and cry," the anti-slavery champions donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for the education of the colored man along academic and industrial lines. They condemned the theory, "the contraction of the head, and the expansion of the hand." It is self-evident that the majority is dependable upon industrial and manual labor for their livelihood, although many have exploited a false doctrine, inferring that "the majority of the colored people were seeking an academic education," a contention that no sane man ever dreamed of or advanced. It is universally known that all races must be trained along the lines, co-extensively with their prospective opportunity for employment. However, when those who clamored for wholesale industrial and manual training for a race, many of whom are the possessors of intellectual faculties that have been constructed with as fine and as durable a mechanism as any other race, they have reached the climax. Those who have been so much interested in the adoption of the scheme to abolish the dual system of education and training for the colored people are either unconsciously struggling for that which they will be unable to accomplish, or they are consciously opposing the laws of nature, heredity and environment. DEPARTURE OF COMPANY D. The last of Cleveland's troops leave today on the first leg of their journey to the front. Recruits under the conscription act are yet to go, but Company D of the Ninth Battalion, which departs for Montgomery this noon, is composed of men already soldiers. This is Cleveland's company of colored men; many of whom are veterans in the National Guard service. Company D is a credit to Cleveland. Its members have on more than one occasion proved themselves real soldiers who may be depended on to give an excellent account of themselves in any difficult situation. Cleveland does well to note officially the departure of this company. It expects creditable performance whatever duties may come to it and, if past conduct is a criterion, the city will not be disappointed.—Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer.

ALLIES PATROL SEAS OF WORLD Mightiest of Fighting Vessels Maintain Closest Blockade in History. SCOUT SHIPS EVER ON MOVE Submarines of Central Powers Find Their Most Profitable Hunting Ground in the Mediterranean—Italy Hit Heavily. New York.—On the seas of the world the fighting vessels of the allied nations maintain the most gigantic and effective blockade ever enforced since the triremes of Caesar overran the Mediterranean in the campaign that preceded Pompey's annihilation. In this sea that has swallowed the hulks of the navies of, Carthage, Greece and Rome the "camouflaged" units of the mightiest engines ever set afloat by man meet in a constant test of skill and daring. The Anglo-French-Greek-Italian fleet maintain a stringent blockade of every mile of Mediterranean coastline. Despite the alertness of the allies in this sea the submarines of the central empires find here their most profitable hunting ground. The kingdom of Italy is suffering the throes of a serious coal shortage due to the severe losses of Italian shipping, supplemented by neutral and British shipping, in these waters. Indeed, the sinkings are so numerous and vital that in a serious Italian offensive may be always forestalled by the undersea power of the German empire. Out of one fleet of coal ships sailing from Genoa to Liverpool and numbering twelve units, only five returned to their home port. In the eastern Atlantic and the English channel there is in effect the most extensive and impenetrable blockade of any. During the day, British and French scout ships nose their precarious ways among the shallows in close proximity to the German coastal waters. watching for a sign of enemy forces. These waters are thickly strewn with mines, both nations mining extensively to suit their programs of attack or defense. Sporadic raids by German light units are occasionally successful, but these are becoming rarer and rarer. Steel nets are also being used by the British navy to combat the submersibles. These, in spite of all reports to the contrary, are still in an experimental stage and are of doubtful effectiveness, especially since a submarine has been evolved with machinery for the destroying of the most powerful nets now in use by the admiralty. Altered at Night. With the coming of night and darkness, the schedule is altered somewhat, and merchant fleets which have been forming in sheltered ports during the day are conveyed across the channel in well-defended routes. The convoy consists of no capital ships, but of destroyers and scout boats, which rush along in devious courses and at terrific speeds. With protecting units in front, behind and surrounding them, the fleet usually gains the borders of Dutch territorial waters in safety. Here the naval squadron stops short and the merchants go safely on into their ports of destination. Shortly afterward a returning convoy which has been formed emerges, and, under the protection furnished to it, takes its way westward. Occasionally a straggler is torpedoed, and mine victims are at intervals found. Holland, though a neutral, has her place in the blockade of the world's waters. Elliminating Dutch waters of floating mines and anchored mines which have lost their anchorage forces the Netherlands to maintain an extensive force of trawlers. Her neutrality would be frequently violated by either side of the warring nations should she enforce in any lax manner the marine law of the three-mile limit. In the western Atlantic the republics of the United States and Brazil patrol with light vessels practically the entire American continent. Canadian cruisers have their part in this work. Due to the naval policy of the United States every merchant vessel in United States registry forms a portion of the naval forces in so far as blockade and defense against the undersea boats are concerned. These vessels are armed by the United States navy and naval gunners sail on every ship. The principal forces in the Pacific are Japanese cruisers and destroyers. They have taken over the former German islands of the Marshall and Marlanne groups and the east and west Caroline archipelagoes. The capture of Tsingtau was assured through the Japanese naval strategy. They lost by a mine the cruiser Takachido before this fortress. Valuable service was rendered to the British and Australian cruisers operating in this part of the world in the shape of coal and munitions. It is a signal fact that of Japan's 6,039 miles of coast, no foreign enemy has succeeded in forcing an entry since the Peary incident in 1853 and before that since the attempted Mongol invasion in 1281 under Kublai Khan. The most recent entrant in this struggle is the kingdom of Slam. The king's yacht and several antiquated motorboats form their "navy," which blockades in its small way a portion of coast where no danger is ever likely to come, typhoons excepted. have the duty of policing the coasts of German East and Southwest Africa. From Port Said to Aden the Red sea is quiet under the control of British gunboats. In the Black sea the upper hand is still a matter of contest. Both contenders seem to be intent on preserving their "fleets in being" to quote a pet phrase of naval strategists. Only unimportant brushes have occurred, but the addition of the fugitive German units, the Breslau and the Goeben, have undoubtedly materially strengthened the Turkish forces. The Germans seem to be more than able to defend their ports recently captured from the Roumanians, and the Russians exhibit a distasteful temerity about attacking in force. Mines in great quantities have been strewn in these waters. In the Baltic the Russian fleet has thus far pursued a policy of shunning any action whatever. At least all attempts of German strategists to lure the Russians from their blanket of mine fields have failed. True, they lost earlier in the war a number of small units and at least one capital ship through ill-considered actions, but since the first few months of the war they seem to have withdrawn and conceded the Germans tacit control of the Baltic. Some small raids are reported, but the German admiralty has failed to comment on them. They do not neglect, however, to plant great numbers of floating mines and thus make the Baltic a dangerous sea to navigate. Observers have reported sighting large German fleets protected by innumerable trawlers as mine sweepers steaming through the Baltic. The Russian evacuation of Riga merely emphasizes the German control of this sea. A sea attack on Petrograd is a possibility of the near future.

London.—"Those bally American flying chaps are a coolish lot," said a lieutenant of the Royal Flying corps, back with about a pint of German shrapnel in his body. "The other day one of those La Fayette boys ran afoul of a Fritz 'archle' and had to get to the ground in a hurry. He dropped near our aerodromes and mussed things up a bit. After untangling himself from his machine he limped up to our commanding officer: "Are you the big noise around this joint?" he asked our brass hat. "No, sir, but I am the commanding officer here," our chief countered. "Well," said the American, 'I've just dropped in to tell you that I've sprinkled gasoline all over your grass plot.' DRAFT. FINDS MODEL HUBBY Indiana Man. Never Tasted Liquor, Home Every Night, Never Played Cards. Shelbyville, Ind.—Through the examination of men to obtain Shelby county's quota for the first National army, Dr. William W. Tindall and Dr. F. E. Bass, the examiners, believe they have found a model husband... A young man from Jackson township was unable to pass the physical examination, being under weight. Then he volunteered the information that he had never tasted beer or whisky or any other intoxicant, that he had never uttered a "cuss" word in his life, that he had never played with cards or dice and that he would rather be at home every night with his wife than any other place that he knew. The examiners have marked a red cross opposite his name, so that he may be looked up in the future. Could Not Break Wife of Smoking. Trenton, N. J.-Because he could not break his wife of smoking, Joseph Magee sued for a divorce, which was granted. Magee declared that his wife had also admitted that she was a RECEPTION TO OFFICERS. The reception to the young officers, held at Dunbar High School by the citizens of the District of Columbia, taking place as it did on Monday night, after the officers had been released from the camp for one week, was a fitting culmination to the series of events which had been prepared for them upon their arrival, for it came at a time when they had feasted and danced and engaged in so much of the lighter social duties that they were well worn, and since they are soon to depart to take up duties of a more serious nature, their minds were already beginning to flow in a serious channel, and hence they were in a very receptive-mood for just such a high tone affair as was the reception of Monday night. The young officers assembled in the armory of Dunbar High School, and at 8.15 were escorted up by two companies from the First Separate Battalion, District of Columbia Infantry, under the leadership of Capt. Louis H. Patterson, Capt. S. H. Epps and Lieut. T. T. Abrams, and the Boy Scouts, under the direction of Mr. Newport F. Henry. The procession entered the auditorium amid a profusion of applause, which steadily increased in intensity of volume, only, to subside when all the officers and escorts had been seated, the former upon the rostrum, the latter in the front seats of the auditorium. The program was started with Mr. F. D. Lee, chairman of the committee. The audience sung "America," and Rev. H. J. Callis invoked the blessing, making some brief but very timely remarks, at the conclusion of which he introduced the speakers of the evening in their turn. Addresses were made by Prof. G. C. Wilkinson, Dean George Cook. Prof. J. R. Hawkins, Rev. J. Milton Waldeon, Mr. Emmett Scott and Prof. Kelly Miller. These addresses being interspersed with music. Following these there were responses from several of the officers, who were introduced by Mr. Gorge H. Murray, the responses being short, spicy and full of innate vim. The importance of the Liberty Bond investment was emphasized through the evening by the various speakers. Mr. O. J. Cooper, secretary to the committee, read communications from the following: President Wilson, Mr. H. B. F. McFarland, Mr. W. Gwynn Gardiner, and Mr. E. L. Thurston, all of whom were highly in sympathy with the movement and expressed their regrets at not being able to attend. ROCHESTER, N. Y., NEWS. By W. Henry Green.

BIG PAY FOR STEEL WORKERS Some Workmen in the Industry Draw as High as $800 a Month. Youngstown.—Higher wages than ever known before in the steel industry are being paid workers in local steel mills. Some workmen make as much as $800 monthly. This is due to the sliding scale of wages, based on the selling prices of steel, for sheet and tin plate workmen under the Amalgamated association ruling. Tremendous profits followed in the wake of the declaration of the European war. The highest wages go to the "rollers." Heaters, roughers and other workmen receive correspondingly high wages. It is not uncommon for laborers to get from $12 to $15 a day. In some cases, from $5 to $6 daily is made by unskilled workmen after a few weeks' experience. TRY TO LIVE ON $5 A WEEK Two Sisters Collapse After Attempt to Exist on Earnings of Third. Brooklyn.—After an attempt of three sisters to live on $5 a week in Brooklyn, N.

The trio went to Brooklyn after their parents died two months ago. Edna was ill and Anna remained at home to care for her. Eleanor worked in a store, earning $7 a week. Of this amount $2 went for rent and $5 was all there was left for living expenses. GERMAN CHANCELLOR'S SON A FARM LABORER Berlin.—Willy Michaels, the youngest son of the new German chancellor, is working as a common laborer on a large farm in Langmeil, near Gruenberg, in Silesta.

When the summer vacation began in July he offered his services for the harvest with thousands of other pupils, and was sent to Silesta, where he works hard every day from four o'clock in the morning until eight o'clock at night. After the harvest he will, of course, return to school.
