citation used last year funds amounting

bonds and loans and 500 900 paid on certif-
Gates Of contribution, leaving a net surplus
In the treasury Of sol, lO7.
One Of the problems which was per-
picking the officers at the beginning Of last

81 600 600, and there remained unsold Of
the associations certificates Of contri-
button 81 900 and Of the society's ~ per

Gates, 1t u announced. have been placed,
chiefly among previous holders, and nearly
all Of the bonds have been disposed OF.
Az a result Of the sale Of the bonds all the
debts were funded before the close Of the
last fiscal year.

s0-NAny Congratulations.
Happy and cheerful. and surrounded
by many friends who offered their con-
Rratulations, =Auntie" Van Dyke celebrated
Yesterday 10 Brooklyn what IL believed by
her friends to be the Hath anniversary
Of her birth, According TO her memory,
she was born In tho slave quarters OF the
old CortelyOu homestead In Flatbush,
on March II, 17oi.
The incident that most forcefully inn
pressed itself on her mind was the drilling
Of the soldiers at Fort Hamilton preparatory
for the War Of 1919. She worked for yesrs
as slave In the fields Of her master, where
@she plouEhed, thrashed wheat, chopped
wood and hOed corn until abe was married
and freed. Then she lived In New jersey
with her husband until 1885. To her were
born eight children, but ell Of them are
dead
She now lives at 1910 Atlantic avenue
Brooklyn, where she Is In care OF the Little
family. She has been a member OF St.
Stephens Church (whitel at Jefferson and
Patohen avenues since 1885. She Is now In
the care Of the lincoln Mission Of 1909 At
lantic avenue. which holds annually a cele-
bration In honor Of her birthday.
The descendants Of the Cortelyou family
have not forgotten -Auntie' and two Of
them, one Of the Miss Cortelyous and q
Miss Rushmoore, visit her regularly. The
oslebration Of her birthday yesterday was
comparatively quiet, but there will be a
greater demonstration over her at the
Lincoln Mission, i0oo Atlantic avenue, to-
morrow, when q reception will be held In her
honor from 3 to o'clock in the afternoon
There viii be a birthday cake with III
candles, speeohmaking and the giving OF

interest concerning a new dress that is
being, prepared for her to wear on that
occasion.

In his speech 10 the Congress Of Mothers.
Mr.. ROOSEVELT reasserted his convictions
a. 10 race suicide and celebrated the
blessing Of children. His soorn Of the
woman who has let her nature be twisted
90 that abe prefers a sterile, pseudo-intel-
lectuAhty 10 that great and beautiful devel-
opmont which comes only to those whose
lives know the fulDess OF duty done, will
not be swallowed patiently by some Of
the advanced and independent girls and
women, and some Of the jewellers in fats
may regard his views a. curiously print
tive; bat he has the majority with him.
Large families were the rule among the
early ssttlers, and are the rule among the
strong later immigrant races that now
possess the land.
I'll easy 70 call Mr.. RoosKvELr's preach
ments 'old fashioned. elementary, com
monplaOe,' and 10 look down upon them
from the superior heights Of modern en-
hghtenment, but II Is none the less true that

Not All BIubber Eaters.

The people Of Alaska evidently think
that they are not getting square deal.
They believe that Mr.. ROOSEVELT should
have gone a little further in his inaugural
address by adding to his declaration that
the United States must ever be careful
not to wrong other nations, q declaration
that the United States must not wrong
its own people.
The Washington Post is somewhat dis
respectful in stating that the average
Senator learned years ago that Alaska
was purchased from Russia, and has
learned nothing concerning it since. 1t
says That "to him Alaska is q stretch Of
wilderness dotted with Esquimaux suck
ing bits OF blubber.' This is as hard on
the Senate as the Senate has been on
neglected Alaska.
The government Of Territories and
dependencies is fast becoming a more
difficult matter than IL was in earlier
years. Territories want Statehood, and
Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines file their little complaints
about the limitations Of the systems
established for them. The claims Of
Alaska are at least fairly we'll founded.
The region is probably quite as we'll
qualified for a Territorial government
as Hawaii il. It certainly has far
greater number Of American born whites
residing within it's borders than has the
little group Of islands out in the Pacific.
Its 25,oOO people Of that class would ap-
pear to have as much right to Delegate
in Congress as the Porto Ricans have.
Commercially, Alaska begins TO APP
pear in a notable way in our statistics.
It's gold shipments to the United States
last year a little exceeded $1,000, 900,
about Ohe-half of which was Alaskan
and the other half from the upper Yukon
Its merchandise imports from the United
States proper were valued at S1l Ak, 900.
This is more than was sold to Hawaii,
more than double the sales to the Philip
pines, and only a few dollars less than
was sold to Porto Rico. Its merchandise
shipments to tho United States proper
were valued at $4,000, 900. This is more
than we took from the Philippines, and
a little less than we took from Porto
Rico. Hawaii's sugar enabled her 10
more than double this sum.
Alaska promises to make more noise
in the Fifty-ninth Congress than she
made in the Fifty-eighth As her clsmor
will be pitched in a good American key,
she is entitled to hearing.

The presence Of a mans photograph in
the roGues gallery is considered by every
policeman as a full and sufficient warrant
for the mans arrest at any time and under
any circumstances, regardless Of whether
there lie any charge TO be brought against
the victim. Magistrate oMNEH has refused
10 allow prisoner arraigned before him to
be photographed for the police, on the
ground that no conviction had been OBJ
tanned against him. Said the Magistrate:
Many Innocent persons have been photographed
for the rogues gallery, and were after their dis o.
charge unable TO get their pictures out again. No
prisoner should be photographed for the gallery
until after convictlon.-
Good sense, and II should be good law.
The rogucs gallery should be for law
breakers only, and not for those who have
merely been accused OF crime.

novation Is to oIer the student, not
only the stimulus Of the broad COM

Of the great university, but also that

which is the best advantage Of the small

The idea seems excellent, and Of prac-

Why Helnery Was Suspended.

According to the report from Italy. Au-
gust Hemery, who won the Vanderbilt cup
race, has been suspended for a year from
all automobile racing for being discour-
teous to the judges at the F1orio cup race.
Subsequently the Automobile Club of
France enforced the same penalty at the
request of the Italian club, and as both
clubs have an international agreement with
the Automobile Club of America it Is not
unlikely that Hemery will be barred from
future competition here.
just before sailing for home Hemery was
asked why he had been suspended and re-
piled that he had told the officials of the
iorlO cup race to go to the hot place
When asked what he would do about the
suspension upon reaching Paris, he replied
through an Interpreter that he would tell
them to go to the hot place three times
over. His tune may change before reach
ing the other side, and if not he will prob
ably be missing from the list of starters
IN the big road races abroad and the Van
derbllt cup race in this country

the Vanderbilt cup race, except Heath and
WARDEN, returned to the other side Hea, n

The French Automobile Club is arrang-

race for next year. The plan will be to
nave certain number of touring cars
compete. Each driver will be given an
equal number of tires that will be slammed
at the beginning of the race, and must be
