WELCOME TO THE SHAMROCK.

Hail, Shamrock Second.
Hail,
And welcome
I'd our waters, where
Perhaps you'll swat
The Cups Defender
\ AID will bear
Back 70 Albion
What
For several dozen years has not
Been part of Britains triumphs
That anybody knows of.
And then, again, perhaps,
You won't. Such chaps,
As have been here before,
Have left our shore
AS empty as they came
And Fame
Has kept the name
America
Sc high, 49,
That try and Try and TRY
AS Britains yachtsmcn will
They cannot fill
The bill
Required to take it down.
The Cup
is up
To us to keep.
And we are not asleep.
It may be, Shamrock, you
Can do
The p. d. @.
That's needed in
A race to win.
But, say,
If you get that Cup
You'll have to hit yourself up
To beat the band
ANDY
The Constitution
And the bylaws.
Nah Honey,
You'll have run for your money.
However,
Hail and welcome,
0 white winged Challenger
From over the sea-
Come to these waters
For victory,
Swell out your sails to the fullest,
Belly them till they crack,
Holding the winds of Heaven
AS tortured on the rack;
Strain in your harness .iercely,
Whistle and Shrek and cry
AS spirit held in the waters,
AS a bird across the sky
Clutch to your wide white bosom
The swift impellng wind;
Grapple it, force it-drop it
Into the pillows behind,
Coaxing, carcssing, cajoling,
o. toil-sparred Challenger
Call, as a love imploing,
To the winds that feebly stir
The lazy lap of the waters,
And lure them from their rest
To come with the trident of Neptune
To goad you on to your best.
By Zucks'. you've got to,
Or you'll be walloped
From stem TO gudgeOn,
You will anyhow.
We think on this side.
But let us not anticipate.
In the meantime
Hail
And have one with us.
The Cup $685.
May never cheer your soul,
But you can haven
Our flowing bowl.d y,
Here's how: 81
And howdy?

BIOLOGISTS EXECUTION.

The court moved with most commenda-
BILE promptness in the trial of the assas-
sin of President Mckinley. 1t also
moved with dignity and elaboration. and
without the slightest deviation from the
ordinary methods and processes. The
temptation to become an instrument of
vengeance was great, but that was not
permitted. Though there was no doubt
of the prisoners guilt, he was given
every right he possessed under the law,
and his guilt was proved in open court.
The majesty, calmness and power of
the law were never more strikingly il
Illustrated than they have been in this
case.
One thing more remains to be done.
Let there be as little delay as possible
in the execution. The assassin has been
convicted by due process of law and
should be promptly put to death. The
court has done it's part fairly, let the
executioner do his swiftly.

The Negro and the South.

The question now is, what is TO
become of the negro South. Is he
to be eliminated from politics or
is he to be an active political
factor? The signs of the times
is that he must retire and take up
the hoe and plOw. He must es-
tablish hs citizenship in such a
manner that will command respect
and consideration among his more
fortunate fellow citizens. If by
retiring from active political par
tIcipation in politics will better the
condition Of the South and the
Southern nOgrO, let him retire,
If by industrial persuits will aid
the negro aud build up the in
dustries eff the South, let him re-
tire, What the negro mostly
needs is protection of life and
property. He can only protect
himself when he becomes a factor
In his State. He must make him
self political factor By being
able TO do what his more fortunate
fellow citizens can do. Let Us
hope, therefore, for better days.
The colOred man must be able 90
do that which will be benefit to
his people and his country. There

ance, might select for a husband, so he
carefully stipulated in the viii that her
fortune was only 10 be given TO her on
condition that she married 'physi-
elan, lawyer or officer of the army or
navy"
The young woman lived with her
uncle, who had been appointed her
guardian. She was an independent
Young woman. and longed for the time
when she could come into her money
and do as she pleased. Her brothers
and guardian and all her other rela-
tives had arranged themselves into a
committee whose mission in life was
TO secure a husband for the young
woman, and they discharged lawyers,
doctors and officers al her head with
the greatest zeal and persistency.
She wanted TO be heart free and
marry the man of her choice, and she
didn't care whether he was a lawyer,
q doctor, an officer or e waiter in a
summer garden, just so he was the man
that her heart wanted.
Finally she saw way out Of the di-
lemma. She would marry some man
LAWYER. doctor or ofieer-who would
consent to divorce Immediately after
the ceremony. She would thus be full
filing the terms Of the Will and could
secure her fortune and could then fol-
low the dictates Of her heart.
So she advertised, and among the an
swers received selected that ofa young
doctor who had been a year out Of
school and had had two eases, having
been called once by a spinster lady TO
treat her fayorite tabby for indiges-
ton and having assisted a veterinary
surgeon IN setting the leg bone of a
horse that had been hurt in run
away.
The young physician promptly
Jumped at the opportunity Of marry
ing the young woman, and they were
accordingly united. But after the Ger
emony the doctor fatty refused to be
divorced. The young wOman's guard
ian and brothers were living in her
house, over which. Of course, as long as
she remained single she had no con-
troll, as II did not belong 10 her until
she had complied with the terms ofthe
will.
The doctor went over and turned
the relatives into the street. He hung
out his shingle in front Of the house
and bought q fine carriage and team,
which he. Of course, charged 10 his
wife. His nOtoriety brought him prac
tice, his aggresSiyeness won him the
admiration and love Of the young wom-
an, and as he had fallen in love with
her al first sight all thought of d.
vorce was abandoned, and there Is now
no happier home in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen WaggiRg.

Copenhagen was somewhat startled
awhile ago by an advertisement that
appeared in the personal columns of
Politiken, the leading newspaper OF
the city. 1t takes a good deal to
startle Copenhagen, but this adYer-
tisement succeeded in accomplishing
what many have regarded as an i'm
possibility. The advertisement read as
follows;
PRO forma, in orderto be freed from
unhappy relations, young lady wishes
TO marry young or old physician,
lawyer or officer. \ divorce is desired
Immediately after the ceremony. The
lady has a fortune of $4,000 kroners.
Communications may be addressed to
No. $500 at the office of this paper"
After many weeks of anxious gossip
ing and the grave discussion Of over a
thousand conflicting rumors, the true
story of the affair began TO creep
around and Copenhagen breathed free
again and once more resumed its
| phlegmatic calm. The young woman

had effectually relieved her of unpleas-

DR.. Virchow held in his OWN land.
1t is not often that a nation e1-
presses its affection for a living hero.
1t is reported in Berlin that the
kaiser himself will be present at the
celebration and that he has in store
a beautiful gift.
Rudolph Nirch0w was born Oc-
tober IS. 1921. at Schievelbein, a small
town in Pomerania. He was educated
at the gymnasium in Berlin, gradu-
ating at the age of is. He then
began his medical studies and was
graduated from the University Of
Berlin in 1S43. From the beginning
of his medical career to the present
day he has been in the habit of oc-
casionally startling the scientific
world with some new discovery or
theory.
The study of disease he made a
special feature of his work, and the
volumes which he has written con-
cerning his Investigations in this di-
rection are among the most valua bic
which the mOderl school of med
icine has at its command. His con-
ception of cellular processes intro
duced wholly new and most fertile
ideas as TO all the phenomena Of
disease.
This invaluable contribution 10
pathology would alone have made
him famous, but his researches in
other fields have produced equally
brilliant results. In 1856 he was ap-
pointed professor Of pathological
anatomy at Berlin, and this position
he still holds.
In political life Prof. Virchow has
also been an active figure, and he
has been a brave and outspoken lead
er on the side of progress and lib
erality.
At one time he had Bismarck as an
opponent, and the controversy be-
came so heated that il was rumored
the scientist and the iron chancellor
were to fight a duel, but this never
occurred. He was for many years
a member of the municipal council
of Berlin, and it is due 10 his infiu-
ence that the sanitary condition Of
that and other German cities has
been so much improved. His political
activities he never allowed to inter
fere, however, with his scientific pur-
suits, which he always regarded as
his proper and serious labor, al
though he often said that il seemed
more like recreation 10 him than
work.

private N the imperial yoemanry.
No man ever loved horses better than
he did, and horses were his undoing.
Not by gambling on them did he
come to grief, for he never made a
solitary bet in his life; but Just by
buying them. He spent three sep
arate fortunes, each amounting 10
over $4,000, IN breeding and training
horses. He raced 10 a moderate ex-
tent, never gambling, and was fairly
success ful; but for all that his love
for horses proved too much for his
fortune
Pictures and old china were the
cause of the ruin of another man,
Crawford Lennox, whose splendid col
lection came under the hammer re-
Gently in London. He was one Of the
chief cOnnoisseurs of Europe in his
chosen line. He would live on bread
and water rather than forego the
purchase OF some coveted vase or
picture; but his expenditures in this
line were so great that he squandered
not only his income. but his capital.
and finally became bankrupt. and died
IN extreme poverty, the attending
physician certifying that he was prac-
tically starved 10 death.
Arthur Grifiths, the famous dog
fancier, went 10 the dogs" through
his pets. He never had less than a
couple of hundred dogs at a time, and
never sold any, though he would some
times give them away to his friends.
He never had dog worth less than
S., and would frequently pay $500 for
one. His collie, Nassie, cost him
$1,000. His kennels were marvels Of
luxury and costliness, and his weekly
bill for dog food alone was enor-
nous. He bought, on an average. a
couple of dogs a week, and would
sometimes make presents of entire
patches to his friends. Finally he be-
came insolvent, and when his assets
were figured up il was found that he
had paid $4,000 for the dogs be then

hundreds he had parted with. But
when the kennels were sold they did
not fetch $4,000.

How many men have been ruined

meth Price, the well-known Scottish
golf player, who died about six
months ago, owed his downfall en-
tirely to golf. He was the son of

playing golf as d boy, and for 25 years
he lived solely for the game, playing
it, literally. CaF and night; for he
had his well-lncwn links at Alderley
lighted by electric lights at a cost
of $35,0OO, so that nigh" should not

gwen a trla

Every effort has been made by State
and National Organizations TO inaug-
urate plans and methods 10 cure the
evils that have taken a hold of the
minds of the American people and
even permitted every Southern legis-
latlve body in violation of the AmeTi-
can Constitution and the law govern
ing law and order, pass unConSutution-
al laws. What methods, therefore
must the negro adopt to protect him
self. Shall he appeal to the shotgun?
No. Shall he use force? No. THE
BEE would suggest that a representa-
tive conference be held in the District
on or about the middle or latter part
of November and through that con-
ference let the American people make
| an appeal TO the President and the
I President 10 the Congress of tile
United States. There Sh uld be
something done at once to ameliorate
/ the condition of the negro in this
country. II is hoped that the entire
press of the country will take hold
/ of this matter and do all in its power
/ TO pnt this movement on foot. Let
/ this conference be void of politics en-
tirely. There shonld not be the least
| reference to politics but, simply meth
! DDS to be adopted, where by the Pres

/ States could adopt such methods to
protect all classes of American Citi-
| zens. II is hoped that the churches
/ through out the country will take an
/ interest in this subject and do all in
/ their power 10 make this gathering a
success. There is every reason to be-
/ lieve that the better element Of the
/ American people Is opposed to the
methods adopted by the mob in Justi
! fying such acts that are perpetrated by
said mob in satisfying the ends of
Justice. THE BEE maintains that mob

of the United States and II never

10 have this conference of representa-
