RIDDLES IN HIS SLEEP.
UAtrained Harvey Joyce. of TfngIey.
Pa, Develops Truly Marvellous
Musical Gift

Harvey Joyce, of Tingley, - ST4o
has never had any musical trainhIg,
while II a somnambulistic state can
play a violin with the skill of d pro-
fessional
Joyce is a planning hand. His fell
lowworker and roommate is John
Richler, who plays the violin at
dances and other festivities. a few
nights ago Richler awoke TO see
Joyce standing in the middle of the
room with the violin in his hand.
Richler saw by the fixed gaze of
Joyce's eyes that he was in a SOM
nambulistic state.
Suddenly Joyce struck up a IA
miliar tune. Richler Immediately
recognized it as one he had played
on various festive occasions. Joyce
also rendered other selections. some
of which Richler was familiar with.
while others he never remembered
having heard.
The imprOmptu programme con-
sisted of selections ranging from the
inspiring music of the waltz 10 the
most difficult classical selection.
The midnight concert was brought
to a sudden close by Richler leaning
too far over in his excitement and
falling out of bed, awakening the
gOmnambulistic musician.
Joyce was apparently very much as
l. z
tude with the violin in his hands He
looked to Richler for an explanation.
When informed of what had occurred
he was as much surprised as Richler
was.

nation was entitled to pursue beyond
the boundaries of its territorial seas
ship of another nation guilty of IL
legal action within these waters, was
untenable.
The arbitrator declared that the
jurisdiction of the state could not ex-
tend beyond its territorial waters ex-
cept by special treaty. The seizure
and confiscation of the c. H. White
and the Imprisonment of its crew was,
therefore, illegal, and Russia was con-
demned to pay the c. H. White S32, All,
with interest at six per cent.
The case of the James Hamilton
Lewis Is governed by the same de-
cision. while in the case of the Cape
Horn Pigeon, Prof. Asser, in fixing the
damages of $3S,750 and the interest at
six per cent, held that the general
principle that damages should include
the prospective profits Of which the
victim had been deprived applied equal
ly to international litigation.
In the case of the Kate and Anna the
arbitrator decided that the captain
could have continued seal hunting. and
that, therefore, Russia was not re-
sponsible for the prospective profits.
Both the James Hamilton Lewis and
Kate and Anna are given six per cent.
interest on the amount awarded.
The dispute was the subject of pro-
tracted negotiations. resulting in an
agreement in 1900 between Count
Lamsdorf. actiSg minister of foreign
affairs of Russia. and Herbert II. ID.

Mr.. Fortunes Mission.

THE BEE has just learned that the
mission of Editor 4. Thomas For
tune to the PHILIPPINES is to ascertain
whether that climate is suitable for
the American Negro. If Mr For
tune should report faVorably the
presumption is there will be
deportation of the American Ne
grOeS to that hot country. So far
as the editor of The BEE is con-
cerned, 1t makes no difference to
him what Mr.. Fortunes report is.
America Is good enough for him
and the District of Colum bia at
that. If there are any mDItious
American Negroes who are tired of
America and desire to 90 to the
Philippines and die of yellow fever
or some other disease he is welcome
to 90. 1t is about time to permit
the Negro to rest himself. If this
country ls too small for the white
man and the black man, and the
white man Is dissatisfied, there are
enough islands in the Phllippines
to hold him aud the sooner Senator
Morgan of Alabama offers a "help
bill" III the Senate, after MIR. For
tunes report, the money sharks will
be glad to assist him to circulate
the funds that may be appropriated
by Congress. President Roosevelt
might have saved the money that il
took TO send Mr.. Fortune agay to
ascertain the condition of that
country and photographed what he
desired to know and write an opeD
letter to the American Negroes and
advised to skip if they desired.
No doubt Prof. BookerT Washing
ton was consulted before his friend
Fortune was appointed. The pre-
dietiOn of The BEB is that Mr..
Fortune will write long-winded
report describing the beauties of
this yellow fever country, and con-
sIude by saying, it is just the coun-
try for the American Negroes. That
Is II he is not attacked with the
yellow fever Oefore he returns and

Southern Representation.
From the Evening Star.

From the Evening Star.
Senator PritChard was standing at
the White House door when Senator
Quay OF Pennsylvania walked out.
"Well, how are the lilly whiteS?'
asked the Pennsylvania senator.
''In splendid shape" answered the
North Carolina Senator.
"What do you think now about rep
Tesentatlon in the next national CON
veution?" asked Senator Quay.

fort to reduce the representation of the

and lam for it. Let the representation
be according to the republican vote

81 am with you," said Senator Quay,
land ! am glad you have taken that
position at last.
The statement Of Senator Pritchard
was somewhat of a surprise. Hereto

al do not favor cutting down the re

said Senator Pritchard, "as | do not
believe Congress has the right to do
that under the Constitution.
The BEE begs leave to inform
Senator Quay as we'll as Mr.. Pritch
ard, that when any attempt is
made to cut down representation in
the south, the negroes in the north,
east and west will give the repub
lican managers to understand that
that is game at which IwO can
play. It will be coWsrdice to cut

time, who was permitted to sell
dailypapers upon the public streets
The Irish of SwampoOdle, who
mOnOpolized every srace at the Star
office window would not permit
coIOred boys to sell papers, but the
editor of the The Bee, who fought
then as he does now, was always
able to hold his own in any com bat
with the Irish who were IN the
majority and who were vindictive
and selfish. All of the Irish were
not mean. The editor of The Bee
always could find friends among
some of those who were inimical
to Negro newsboys.
The Star has steadily pushed its
way upward and onward and to-day
it takes front rank in American
journalism.
The Star is not only champion
and advocate of human rights, but
it is paying enterprise as we'll as
a household companion. The Afro
Americans Of this country find in
the Star a true advocate and defen-
der of their rights, for which they
feel grateful. There is no paper in
this country that has been greater
friend to the colored American than
che Star, and THE BEE on behalf
Of millions of colOrsd Americans

tions on It's fiftieth anniversary.
