If boslsy dells with brown and silver brooks Pipes numberless perennally shrill, For publishment betimes i'll slightly books Songs breathing righteous praise of bough

 These are fair spots, but here Gods gracious

 A stones throw from the city's heart and din Gives me as fair-let me deserve it still My upper window where the elm looks in. They love dark things who celebrate tho rocks That build in woody places mirk and chill My neighbor, too, misled, on sturdy hooks A painted cage hangs from his window sill And hears not in it's captive's ev'ry trill Pleas for the liberty he may not win. Those are free, lusty throats with tune that

Experience of Man Who Had Several

Gxperlence of Man Who Had Several
 Growing Girls.
 It is quite interesting to be the fa- ther of several growing girls , said one of group of family men in the smoker of suburban car.

 l wasn't thinking of that, :" said the nrst speaker, but of way they have of taking the wind out of your owr sails. It never occurred to me until the other morning that it was not to see me that young fellows kept dropping in to play cards and make themselves agree able. tumbled at last, but it was my hunting dog Jack that opened my eyes.
 Your hunting dog?' echoed the crowd.
 Yes. I had heard of nearly every kind of plan for the communication of lovers except 8 dog. In this case Jack became Cupid's messenger. Those boys borrowed the dog ostensibly to go hunting, but have learned since that they didn't know gun from hoe han dle. They tied Jack up overnight, and as soon as he got out in the morning he made bee line for home. If I hadn't seen the corner of a paper sticking from under his collar I should never have suspected the eagerness with which these girls tried to head him off from me.
 He had letter for them?"
 No, just a note asking the privilege of seeing dear Miss Kate or Miss Sue in the park for walk and chat. Nice idea, employing the dog of the family in a clandestine oorrespondence I an. swered that note myself, and the two girls haven't spoken to me since. Jack is tied up, and I'm watching the cat now, for l have no doubt they'll find way to cireumvent me. -- Chicago

M usic and Health.

Music, if we are to believe ancient historians, has produced some very ex- traordinary effects. The f1erceness of Achilles was allayed by playing on the harp; Damon, with the same. instru- ment, quieted wild and drunken youths, and Asclepiades in @ similar manner brought back seditious multitudes to temper and reason. The corybantes and effeminate priests of Cybele were incit- ed by music to cut their own flesh. Pin dar addressed his narp thus: "Thou quenchest the raging thunderl' Music is also reported to have been efficaoious in removing dangerous diseases. Miriam dola observes, in explanation of its be- ing appropriated to such an end, that music moves the spirits to act upon the soul as medicine does the soul by the body. Theophrastus in his essay on Enthusiasm, " reports many cures up on this principle. The Thebans used the pipe for the cure of many disorders, and Zenocrates is said to have cured several madmen. The bite of the taran- tula is said to have been cured by music, and the Phrygian pipe was recommend ed by many of the ancient fathers as an antidote to sciatica We could enumer- ate many other instances of the estima- tion, amounting, as it would seem, to palpable superstition, in which music was held among the ancients, but the above may be considered sufficient. = New York Ledger.

The Matter of whiskers.

Jules Ferry's whiskers were often an index to his state of feeling. I saw him on the day he escaped from the com mune of Paris to Versailles. He related his adventures at the Hotel des Reser- voirs to friends who gathered round him. The whiskers, which habitually stood we'll out, like those (his enemies said) of garcon de cafe, were limp and lay fiat to the cheeks.
 The most leonine whiskers I ever saw were Skobeleff's. They were of i'm mense length when he drew them out, as was his won't, but when let alone seemed only half as long. dare say they had their lank days. but not so far as know. The term "whiskerando' (now well nigh obsolete) had more meaning than those who used it thought --London Truth.

BELONGS TO ANOTHER
COLLEGE,.

One Of the members of the visiting
committee is a graduate of George
town College, hence we are not sur
prised at such report.
We Informed the secretary, that
had men been appointed acceptable
to the people he would have no
cause to complain of the alleged
mismanagement of the hospital
DR.. G.. b. Purvis, formerly the
surgeon-in-chief Of the hospital
always kept a corps of competent
physicians around him and his re-
ports to the Secretary of the Inte-
rior were made quarterly.
There were several investigations
made of DR.. Purvis administration
of affairs, and in no instance was
he charged with incompetency nor
mIsmanagement Of the affairs of the
institution.
The brief period that DR.. Francis
had charge of the hospital nothing
could be saidderogatory of him.
The whole business looks like an
attempt to destroy the usefulness
of a colored institution. Colored
young men are not permitted to
enter any white medical institution
on account of the color prejudice
against them. We have too much
confidence in Congress to believe
that that body will sanction such a
gigantic blunder that has been
made by a so-called board of Wis.,
itors, appointed by the Secretary
of the Interior. We are not sur
prised at the Endorsement that has
been given to the report of DR..
Curtis, because he wants to hold
his job.
He owes it to himself, notwith-
anding the salary he is to receive
to protest. He belongs to that class
of colored men that a white face
can intimidate. He declares that
he is not responsible, and what he
is doing is by orders of the Secreta
nv of the Interior and hoard of
visitors, What has become of his

For the first time in many wears
the colored school board represents
the best interests of our people,
The accession of DR.. Richardson
and Mr.. Wright has strengthened
the Board, and it is hoped that
both may continue long on the
Board. Tie extension of the Normal
School is the result of unanimity
on the part of the trustees. We
would like to see all of the High
School graduates enter the Normal; !;
but as it is necessary to insure an
approved diploma to those who
may graduate, it becomes necessary
to p ace the conditions of admission
at least above IS per cent. The
entire Board deserve our hearty
thanks and congratulations for the
manly stand tkey took in the in
terest of our patrons.

DIR. DANIEL I'll. WILLIAMS.

This most eminent and distin-
guished physician needs no defense
by The BEE. His reputation as a
physician was made long before he
came to Washington. He came
against his will and left when he
got ready. He asked no favors
from any one nor did he accept any.
He is the most independent man
in this country and honest to
his profession. These attacks on
DR.. Williams are the result of a
conspiracy to satisfy personal pique
ON the part Of certain colored ply
sicians DR.. Williams has opposed.
So far as the management of the
Freedman's Hospital is concerned,
while he was surgeon.in-chief, it
was above reproach.
Those he kept in employment and
supported are the first to attempt
to traduce him. Ingratitude never
was known to elevate a scoundrel
nor advance the interest of a
knave.
If there ever were a man an
honor and a shining star to the
medical profession it is DR.. Daniel
81. Williams Of Chicago. His en-
inent fitness places him above his
defamers, He is the only negro,
since emancipation, to resign a
$50 position with perqueisites.
He has asked no favors nor does
he play the coward now.
Mr.. Secretary Bliss, and his
committee Of white men would not
have been tolerated had DR.. Will
Jams been surgeon in chief of the
Freedman Hospital. He would
have sent the committee back with
0 message that would have taught
Mr.. Bliss some sense, netwithstand
ing the fact that he has more
money than he has brains.
He wants to understand that all
negroes are not towards nor will
all of them take Mr.. Bliss inso-
lence. The BEE challenges any
one to point to an act of irregular
ity on the part of DR.. Williams.
The Washington bee., 1898-07-09

Following its report of the condition
of Freedmen's Hospital, printed sew
eral days ago exclusively in The Star,
the board of visitors made up set of
rules and regulations for the proper
conduct of the institution in the future.
These rules, after being revised by
Secretary Bliss, were today made pub
lie. They are the result of careful
investigation on the part of the board
of visitors of the best regulations gov
erning hospitals in the United States.
Many of the old rules are completely
wiped out, and all of the loose meth
DDS which have characterized the hos
pital in the past few years have been
changed.
The regulations cover thirty-nine
pages of typewrlting, and are specific.
The duties of each employe is care
fully outlined, and there can be no
mistake in the future as to response
bility.
The duties Of the assistant surgeon
are considerably increased. He is
given general charge of the executive
branch of the institution.
Special rules are made to govern
the training school for nurses, which
is to be maintained for the present.
No person known to be affected by
an incurable chronic disease, acute
alcoholism or by contagious or infec-
tious disease shall be admitted to
Freedmen's Hospital.
Patients admitted to the Freedmen's s
Hospital shall be of the following
class, viz:
tIndigent residents of the District
of Columbia, who, being sick or
injured and requiring medical or sur
gical attention, are without the neces-
sary means to pay for the same.
transient population of the said
District, who while passing through
or temporarily detained therein, fall
i'll or suffer accident or injury and
require immediate medical or surgical
care and attention, but are destitute
of means to pay for the same.
"Such other destitute persons resid-
ing outside of the District of Columbia
as the Secretary of the Interior, either
for humane reasons or in the interest
of medical science, shall cause to be
admitted.
"All emergency cases, which are
defined as cases of sudden illness or
injury, where to delay treatment
would unduly imperil the life or safety
of the patients. In this class of cases
the formalities hereafter prescribed
for admission may be waived and the
patient admitted at once"

The two most picturesque and most
Enthusiastically American COM
manders in Gen Shafter's army bore
off the great honors of day in which
all won honor.
No man can can read the story in
the Journal of the "Rough Riders"
charged on the block house at Ell
Caney, of Theodore Roosevelt's mad
daring in the face Of what seemed GER
tain death, without having his pulse
beat faster and some reflected light of
the fire of battle gleam from his eyes.
And over against this scene Of the
cowboy and the college graduate, the
New York man about town and the
Arizona "bad man" united in one CO.
herent war machine, set the picture Of
the Tenth United States Calvary, the
famous colored regiment, Side by
side with RooSevelt'S men they fought
these black men. Scarce used to
freedom themselves, they are diving
that Cuba may be free. Their mark
manship was magnificent, saw the eve
witnesses. Their courage was superb.
They bore themselves like veterans
and gave positive proof that out of
nature naturally peaceful, careless and
playful military discipline and an in
spring cause can make soldiers wor-
thy to rank with Caesars legions or
Cromwell's army.
The Rough Riders and the Black
Regiment. In those two Commands
is an epitome of almost our whole
national character.
