TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The Colored Voter.

The BE agrees with It's able
and distinguished contemporary the
New York .4ge, when it sdvisesthe
colored voters of the North to act
in self defense. The BEE has been
endeavoring, for four months TO
convince the Age that it was wrong
in its many sky rocket editorials
commencing the sO-ealled Repuo-
lican leaders. The BEE, also en-
deavorel to convince the Age, that
no matter how much it attempted
to convince Mr. Roosevelt that
he would be the next Presi-
dent. Booker 7. Washington wsuld
not succeed in convincing the Pres
ident that the editor OF the Age
ought to be given q place. Two
months ago Editor Fortune deciar-
ed that President RoOseveltsnd the
leaders were all right and II any
body else thought otherwise, ne
would break his neck or die an un-
natural death. The great ~ Afro
American Council of which Editor
FJrtune Is now President, adopted
anapologetic address to the cOlOred
voters of the country tell ing them
of their faults, but said nothing OF
the diabolieal #rongs that were be-
ing perpertrsted upon them. The
ss-called address to the country
didn't condemn lyrching for fear
il would be an insult to the rebels
in the South or those who favored
the mode of getting rid of alleged
negro rapists. The Age as we'll as
the Council have been sndeavorinR
10 hood wink the colOred voters
and there are few now who are
making apologies for the tTeachery
of Senator Pritchard. He will never
be elected to the Senate again by
negro votes. AAd if the negroes of
North Carolina have no better sense
than to vote for Pritchard or GER
tain so-ealled candidates for the
legislature that is to elect United
States Senator, they ought to be
tied up aud thrashed with a COW
hide, There seems to be but hit
tie manhood in the negro voter
Now if Editor Fortune and his
Council would teach the negro
voters how TO be manly and eXer-
else the powers that God gave him,
he will be doing the race g service.
Now who can tell what Editor
Fortune will say next week? The
BEE would not be surprised, if he
didn't turn asummersault and take
back all the good things he said
last week. If our learned friend
had a mortgage on his mouth or a
bill of sale on his thoughts, there
are grave doubts whether the Age
would not be loaded with second
and third trusts. If Editor For
tune could be relieved Of mis- burdens
The BEE has every reas IN to be-
lieve that the race would not go
assray by following his advice.

You Set The Example.
From The Atlanta Age.

From The Atlanta Age.
The Washington Bee wants TO know
whv il is that in the make up of the
Board of Commissions for the District
of Columbia that the negro has no
representation. Perhaps il Bro. Chase
and Bro. Cooper could stop pulling at
one another's throat long enough TO
adopt a plan Of action TO reach the
President, the Negro might have more
than a Commission ership.
If the Editor of the Age would
set the example certainly The Bee
will follow. Practice what you a.

have some faith in your advice.

DETAILS OF DEATH
 OF MINISTER BUCK
Was Standing on Side of a
 Pond When Stricken
ATTENDED BIG DUCK HUNT
Was Waiting With Net in Hand, When He Was Seen to Stagger and Fall-Japanese Doctor
 Failed to Revive Him.

l Correspondence of the Associated Press. Tokio, Japan, December 16 via San Francisco, December 22.-Col. Alfred B. Buck, United States minister to Japan, died suddenly of heart failure on the 4th instant while attending duck hunt as the guest of the Japanese emperor. The duck hunting parties are annual state affairs to which all the highest diplomatic and state officials are invited. Colonel Buck was standing at the west ern side of a pond, net in hand, waiting for signal when he suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. He was at once conveyed to the rest house, where va- rious means were tried to call him back to life without avail by physician from Gyotaku. and Surgeon Nagary of the military hospital at Konodai.
 In the afternoon the body of the min- ister was carried to the legation on a stretcher. The wide sympathy shown by the Japanese government and the press speaks strongly of the high esteem in which the dead diplomat was held. A large number of the members of the for eign diplomatic corps and Japanese off cials visited the legation to express their condolence.
 The remains of the minister were em- balmed and the funeral services, which will be of an impressive character, will be held at Trinity Cathedral, Tolio, on next Monday morning, the 18th instant. Afterwards the remains will be ~cortcd by Japanese guard of honor to the sta tion en route to Yokohoma, where they wlli be met by citizens. Escorted by a corps of Japanese marines the funeral procession will move to the United States naval hospital, where the body will be deposited in the mortuary vault pending the arrival of the steamer Korea, where they will be conveyed to San Francisco. The Korea is scheduled to leave Yokohoma on the 24th instant. Mrs. Buck will accompany the body.

BIGGAR EVIDENCE Is CONTRADICTORY
Says She Kept Marriage Secret
 at Bennett's Request
DOCTORS DO NOT AGREE
Defense Agrees to Admit That Mir. Bennett Had Often Spoken of Defendant as Miss Blegar.
 Case Closes Today.

Freehold. N. J., December 22.-Further testimony in the trial of Laura Biggar was given by Miss Biggar today, and the defense then rested. Miss Bggar, cross examined by MT. Wilson, counsel for the state, said she had kept her marriage secret because Mir. Bennett had asked her to do so. She said she had employed Mollie Deskin as her maid and had dis charged her about year ago. Witness said she always had been a dutiful and faithful wife to Mir. Bennett.
 Former Sheriff Shock of Freehold was called in rebuttal by the state, and said that In October. 1901. Bennett introduced the defendant as Miss Biggar.
 Mollie Deslcn, formerly Miss Blggar's maid who disappeared Wednesday, re- turned today and went on the stand. She testified as to Miss Biggar's conduct in certain instances.
 Dr. Colin Mildourall of New York testi- fled that in November. 1901, Mir. Bennett was suffering from dropsy and other troubles, and was not in good physical condition. The defense said, after several witnesses had testified on the point. that it was willing to admit that MT. Bennett had often spoken of the defendant as Miss Biggar.
 Dr. Conlin McDougall of New York testified he had attended Mir. Bennett. He has known Laura Biggar for fifteen years. His testimony tended to show that MT. Bennett was not the father of Laura Biggar's child On cross examination Dr. MeDougall said he had claim against the estate for S16 450 for medical services. The testimony of Dr. Frederick A. Lyons. surgeon to the New York fire department was similar to that of Dr. McDourall pr. Hendrick was recalled to the stand when pr. Lyons was excused. He con- tradicted Dr. McDougalrs testimony.
 William J. Keough, for five years a partner with MT. Bennett in the theatri- cal business, testified that it was impos- sible for MT. Bennett to have been in Hoboken on the date on which it is claim ed he married Miss Biggar MT. Keouph's records showed, he said, that on that night MT. Bennett was in the Star thea tre in Pittsburg.
 r. J. McNulty swore that not long be- fore MT Bennett died Miss Biggar told him that if MT. Bennett left no will she would receive nothing. The state then rested and Miss Biggar was called in re- buttal to the testimony given by pr. McDougall. Miss Biggar y-ill 20 on the stand again tomorrow when it Is ex pected the case will close.
