In the spacious amphitheater of the

people, one of the greatest demonsra-
tons ever rendered a citizen was given
the Rev D. J. Jenkins, president of the
Jenkins Orphanage and Reformatory,
Charleston, $. c.. by his home citizens,
the occasion being his second return
from Europe, where he visited England,
Scotland, Wales and France in behalf
of the institutions of which he is the
founder. The principal addresses of
welcome were delivered by Mr.. T. l..
Grant, county chairman of the Republi
can party, and Hon. DR.. w D. Crum,
Collector. of the Port, the former in
behalf of the Orphanage and Charleston
Messenger, the latter III behalf Of the
citizens. The musical numbers, which
were rendered by the best local talent,
were OF. exceptional interest. The ap-
precIatlou by the audience Of the work
in which the Rev. D. J. Jenkins is en-
gagged was manifested by the enthusi
.aSm exhibited whenever reference to his
work and name were made. When the
Orphanage Man (as he is generally
known in Charleston and in South Car
.olina) arose to respond to the address
les of welcome, the immense audience
spontaneously arose and greeted him
with their handkerchiefs. Never in the
HISTORY of this old aristocratic cityswas
there given an ovation to a home. citi-
zen, a public benefactor such as this
one. In his response the Rev Jenkins
related incidents in his travels and
explained that his trip was tour Of
inspection in which he visited nearly
all of the orphanages and reformatories
in the United Kingdom Of Great Brit
ain, to gain information as to how
such Institutions are conducted over
there. He stated that his experiences
would be put in operation IN the near
future and much of the valuable in
formation that he nas received during
his travels will be put into effect at
his institution. After the concert an
elaborate spread was laid. at which
prominent citizens feasted.

Wednesday afternoon reinstated as su-
pervising principal, Mr.. CORDOBA. He
mill now be given an investigation, and
if found guilty he will be dismissed.
If what is charged against Mr.. Cor
doza be true he should be suspended
pending an investigation. 1t is not
believed that the Board of Education IS
not in possession Of the necessary data
to convict the principal It is claimed
that the letters alleged to have been
written by Mr.. CORDOBA are in the pos

BOYS REFORM SCHOOL.
The colored people in this city de-
mand representation on the Board of
Trustees Of the Reform School of the
District of Columbia Nine-tenths OF
the offenders that are sent TO that IN
stitution are colored youths. The Bee
i informed that these lads are allowed
to attend school once within ten days.
They are also compelled TO dig founda-
tions and do other laborious work.
There should be at least three colored
representative citizens on the trustee
hoard. These citizens would certainly
take more interest in the colored youths
than the white trustees who have no
interest in them at all VIII the Presi-
dent give us representation? We shall

Not one Of the instruments for pro
ducing music is more delicate and COM
plicated in structure, susceptible to bad
management, nor greater durability,
properly used, than the voice. Handled
with the greatest care, no other instru-
ment except the voice can be guaranteed
to last a life's time, be that life long or
short
There is a decided difference between
music and noise, it matters not by what
instrument it is made.
The effect of music upon man OF beast
differs, for its powers are beyond de-
scription.
The singing OF two hundred men and
women in the vast congregation Of peo-
pie, who returned from Babylon, Ezra
second chapter, 65th verse, was soothing
and made the burdens of the people
lighter When the sweet lullaby of a
mother fails to lull the infant 70 rest
something is very wrong with the infant
and medical treatment may be necessary.
In the thjckest of battle when the
strength of the fighters is all but gone
the sound of the bugler's horn arouses
the dying man to superhuman actions.
Musical sounds arrest the attention
OF the lower animals and they are af-
fected very much in the same manner
that men are.
Since music is invisible it is necessary
to represent it. and this is done by char
acters called notes. These vary in ap-
pearance and value. To properly use
the characters, one becomes an artist,
for the home of music is in the cata-
logue of Arts, and the executor of music
becomes an artist.
By a systematic arrangement of the
characters, a succession of sounds are
formed.
Too much stress cannot be placed on
rhythm for the intended effect is spoiled
if attention to time is neglected. In
deed one of the most sublime attrac-
tions to Mr. Coleridge Taylor when
conducting one of his own compositions,
is his own accuracy in rhythm,
The basis of melody is the scale and
this represents sounds. A continuous
monotone without an accompaniment
varying in pitch would become objec-
But by changing the pitch
thu oound becomes musical and produces
a melody. Just as the voice is the nat
ural instrument all other instruments
are artificial, so the diatonic differs from
the chromatic.
The Germans, and they are authority,
the minor scale more smooth
and gentle than the major.
If the tones are pure the force may
not injure them; and still some atten-
ton must be given to the dynamic de-
partment of music.
A musical selection may have its
sweetness marred by misapplication
Of dynamics The performer must feel
the inspiration of the music in order to
give the proper expression.
All the foregoing thoughts give rise
to the question. What is music? Music
IS the resultant of uniform regular VI
Drations of sonorous bodies. The sounds
are alike in duration, intensity and recur
at equal intervals of time.
If the number of vibrations be IN |
creased in a given time the sound is
If the number be diminish
ed in a given time the music becomes
aattened.
Music then is the harmonious blend
ing of sounds, having the property OF |

At the beginning of the school year
a new feature was introduced into the
school system of the District of Colum-
bia, namely, the appointment of At
tendance Officers, more commonly known
as "Truant Officers" whose duty it is
to look after those children of school
age who remain away from school and
compel them to attend
When it was learned that the Office
of attendance officers would be created
this year. Mrs. Richardson, one of the
Dest-known and most highly cultured
Of our women, a splendid representative
OF the race, sent in an application, and,
greatly to her surprise and pleasure,
through the influence Of friends, receiy-
ed the appointm ent, notwithstanding the
fact that there were a number of other
women in the race
1t might be well to add here that in
her position above named Mrs. Rich
ardson and her associate of the other
race are practically in class by them
selves. as the writer has no knowledge
of any other woman in the United
States holding a similar position, as
such places are usually filled by men.
1t is generally conceded that Mrs. Rich
ardson is the right person for the right
place. She is clothed with all the au-
thority of the law, being provided with
a badge and a key to the patrol box,
so that she may call up the police sta
ton at any time it becomes necessary.
The success which has attended her ef-
forts thus far has been remarkable, and
she has been highly praised by the Su-
perintendent of Public Schools, DR..
Chancellor, and others in control. That
Mrs. Richardson, with the aid of the
different police stations, is doing splen-
did and effective work which speaks for
itself. is self-evident from the fact that
the school population has already been
increased to 1000, and the scarcity Of
children on the streets during school
hours is noticeable While they love
her, yet the children stand in awe Of
Policeman" Richardson.
On October 5, 1906, Mrs Richardson
received the following from the Board
of Education:
To Whom It May Concern:
Ida G. Richardson was, on the 18th
of September elected by the Board
of Education Attendance Officer in the
District of Columbia, pursuant to the
terms Of Public Act No. 2o3, approved

Born and reared in Washington,
where she received her shool training,

citizens of this city, who are glad TO

Fraud Order Against Tipster.

The lucrative business of selling tips on
horse races has been the subject OF consid-
cradle investigation on the part of the Post
Office Department recently. When the de-

body is using the mails to dispose OF tips
which have no foundation in fact an inspec-
tor is detailed to look into the case. II
damaging evidence presents itself to the in-
spector. and the person conducting the bust

case goes through the regular channels to

country have had some success lately In

In the issuance of a fraud order against a
New Yorker whose mail has been received
under the name OF G. Tompkins. but whose
right name Is given as Joseph II. Cahill.
Mr.. Cahill has been advertising for sale
