The white race has had every politi-

controlled all elections, has done all

the country until within compare

dition? Men in our cities, by the tbous-
and unable TO get work on any homer
able terms, compelled to beg or steal to
prevent Starvation, others crouching
beneath the sidewalks or In unlocked
stairways or IN empty sheds to keep
from freezing in the winter storms;
women and children at home shiver-
ing in the cold, while husband and
father is unable to find employment;
people working in dark and poorly
ventilated apartments, girls standing
behind the counter without oppOr-
tunily to sit down, 80 many hours per
day that it brings on female deraDge-
menls, and their health permanently
broken. And this is not all. Their
wages are often SO low that they must
resort to other mesns to help pay their
beard and buy their clothes. While
others must satisfy their employers or
foreman's lusts to retain their stu.
alton,
Year by year the working mans
debts increase. Year by year his rents
increase, and the price OF land advances,
making it more difficult for him to get

a hundred years ago nine tenths Of the
people owned .theiE own homes, but
now fully one half are renters, while
over four million of the one.baIf who
do own their homes are mortgaged.

Women a. SnnitnrIann

At the recent meeting OF the boards
OF health Of Pennsylvania DR.. Benja-
min Lee emphasized a truth to which
insufficient attention has been paid.
Women, he said. are born sanitarians,
whereas men must be taught This
fact, we should say. is based upon the
evolution OF the race. as the role that
cleanliness plays in civilization is IN
doubtedly due TO women. Even today
II is hard work for the women to keep
the best OF us men clean and tidy. Ad-
vantage OF this great fact should be
taken in our national housekeeping
True wisdom consists In utilizing the
teachings. tendencies and habits shown
in the racial development. Women by
office and evolution are the housekeep-
ers and health officers of the family
Let them become publicly and officially
our health officers and sanitary mana
gers. The marvellous ability and sue
cess already shown by them in this
field warrant every confidence. There
are millions of unOccupied women who
can thus find II work that will bring
GladneSs TO giver and receiver and that
will lift us long way in the progress

INSPECTORS OF STEAM VESSELS.
A Circular Issued Containing Amend
ed Regulations.


The Treasury Department has issued a
circular to supervising and local inspectors
of steamboats, containing amended steam
beat rules and regulations, recently made
at the meeting of the supervising in
spectors. An amendment was made as to
starting. stopping and backing signals for
vessels on Lake Superior, the changes be-
ing as follows:
There shall be used between the master
or pilot and engineer the following code
of signals, to be made by bell or whistle.
namely: One whistle or one bell. go ahead :;
one whistle or one bell. stop: two WISHES
or two bells. back; three whistles or bells,
check; one long whistle -four whistles or
four bells), strong: one long whistle four
whistles or four bells), all right.
Two whistles or two bells (when the en-
CINE is working ahead will always be a sig
nal to stop and back strons) shall always
mean back strong, irrespective of other
signals previously given.
The supervising inspectors adopted a reso-
luton That masters, mates and pilots of
all vessels be required to exercise due eau
ton in the use of their search lights so as
not to throw the rays of the light into the
pilot house of passing steamers

To Resume Work at Navy Yards.

The Navy Department is now in position
to resume work upon the naval vessels at
navy yards, which was suspended by the
exhaustion of the repair funds. The de-
fictency appropriation bill carries about
s2,5OO,OO0 for this purpose, and orders have
gone to the yards to resume work. The
order will result in the employment of
many men. At Boston there are the Olym-
pia, Topeka, Chesapeake, Vesuvius, Sterl-
N. H, there is the Raleigh. At New York
there are the Indiana, the Massachusetts,,
the Cincinnati and several torpedo boats.
At Norfolk are the Newport, the Annapolis,
the San Francisco. the Terror and the Puri-
tan, the Reina Mercedes and some con-
verified yachts and tugs. At League Island
there are the Miantonomoh, the Minneapolis,
the Columbia, the Katahdin and some tugs.
At Mare Island there are the Boston, the
Philadelphia, the Mohican and Alert, and

Post Office ROOF.
"In this connection It would be no in
justice, perhaps, to consider the new post
office as an alteration. That most un-
fortunate building has indeed wandered far
from academic paths. A public lecturer
said of it not long since that it had made
the redemption of the avenue an impossi-
bility. This was perhaps the expression of
too jealous an advocate of the homogeneous
plan. The post Office is after all not quite
impossible 1t might even now be bettered.

hopeless feature. Take away that absurd
superstructure, modelled on what one may
almost call the worst architectural freak in

New Church Edifce.
Plans have been drawn for a new church
building for the Enon Baptist congregation
c street between 9th and It'll streets south
east, of which Rev. ]. I. Loving is pastor
and work thereon is expected to be begun
in the early spring The edifice will cost,
It is understood, about $4,000, and will
front forty feet on street, and have a
depth of sixty or siXty-flve feet The front
will be built of pressed brick, and it will
have two towers. The lecture and Sunday
school rooms will occupy the basement and
the main audience room will be Immediately
above.
The Enon congregation was organized
about the close of the civil war by Rev
Samuel Scott. and was composed of a few
colored Baptists residing In the District of
Columbia and in nearby portions of Vir-
g1nfa. There are now on the rolls the
names of nearly 300 persons. all in good
