enough to falsify the prophecy Of the
wiseacres. Ever since he hung his shin
ole ont in that city he has been busy
and New York has been conscious OF
the fact that he was there practlClng his

deserve special mention. DF. Peters
Raw. who practiced his profession for
more than forty years in Brooklyn, n.
Y, died short time ago, leaving an es-
tate amounting to more than hundred
thousand dollars. Mr.. Wetmore has
been retained to represent the only heir
to the estate. Mr.. W. II. Brooks, the
musical director Of the Drury Opera
Company, had his right leg fractured in
a wreck in Rutland Vt, which was so
serious that il had to be amputated.
Mr. Wetmore on behalf of Mr.. Brooks
brought suit in New York against the
New York Central and Vermont Rail
Road Companies. the New York Central
being the leasor of the Vermont K. K
Co. The companies demurred to the
declaration on the ground the the New
York court did not have jurisdiction,
because the accident happened in Yer
mont and was caused by the Vermont
Railroad Company. The railroad COM
panies were defeated upon that issue
the court decided that the Vermont Rail
road Company, being the lessee OF the
New York Central, and the New York
Central being a corporation of the State
of New York, that the suit was properly
brought. After being defeated upon that
issue the railroad companies compromis-

costs Mr.. Wetmore and the attorney
for the railroad companies came on &c
Washington together and settled the case
here as Mr.. Brooks since the accident
has been stopping with his mother II

The case is one of very great import
ance. Had the companies succeeded II
taking the case TO Vermont, Mr.. Brooks
could not have recovered more than
$1,000 under the statute Of that State

AGAINST TAFT
COLORED CITIZENS PROTEST

There were fully one thousand citizens
present at True Reformers Hall last
Monday night, the occasion being the
protest against the nomination of Mr..
Taft for President It was indeed
gathering OF representative colored vot-
ers representing every State in the Un-
ion DR.. VIM. A. Sinclair of Pennsyl-
vania came all the way to the city to be
present and register his protest against
the enemy of the colored Americans.
The meeting was called to order pre-
cisely at 8 o'clock by Rev J. NJ. Wal
dron of Jacksonville, Fla, one of the
best parliamentarians in the United
States. DR.. Waldron delivered a most
eloquent address. He stated the object
OF the meeting and introduced as the
first speaker Hon. Archibald Grimkie
of Boston. Mass. Mr.. Grimkie said
among other things that the Negro had
been blindly following the Republican
party ever since his freedom and has
received nothing for it. He wanted to
know from those present whether they
intended to stick eighteen months from
now. He said that he was of the opin-
ion that at that time the moment the
name of Lincoln was called many Of
them would be found supporting men
who have been and are now opposed to
the colored man. This speech was a
masterpiece of oratory.
DR.. VIM. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia,
Pa, was the next speaker. DR.. Sin
clair declared that Mr.. Taft was against
the colored Americans and they should
register their protest against him.
Judge NJ. w. Gibbs of Little Rock.
Ark, was the next speaker. Judge
Gibbs was formerly United States con-
sui at Madagascar but resigned. He is
one of the most able lawyers among the
colored people, His speech was full of
ginger.
DR.. S. L. Corrothers of New York
was introduced and made one of those
excellent speeches of his. He was fre-
quently applauded and the many points
that he made were very effective.
At the conclusion Of the speech-mak-
ing Travis Glasco attempted to say
something, when Chairman Waldrou po-
Iitely and positively informed him that
he was not one of the invited speakers.
Mr.. VIM. T. Ferguson of New York
reported from the committee the follow
| ing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
THAT we do not want the Hon. Will
liam H Taft for anything, the success
of which depends upon colored voters;
and be it further resolved,
J THAT we, the most loyal asset Of the
. Republican party, warn It's leaders that,
if. in the face of our earnest protest,
/ they nominate this man or any other
man who says that the enfranchising of
our people was a mistake, or who brands
us as criminals and traitors, they do so
at the peril of forfeitng our good viii
and support; and be it further resolved,
That we publish these resolutions
and call upon our brethren throughout
the United States to sustain our pro-
test"
The meeting was IN every respect a
success and the next meeting will be
held in few weeks.

BUHey School Garden.


BDHey School Garden.
As an advanced step in the distinct
lively professional work Of the colored
schools and under the direction Of As
sistant Superintendent Montgomery
system OF holding model lessons in the
higher grades has been inaugurated this
year for the first time in the history
Of the schools. These and the discus
slOns which follow have p,tyen of de-
cided help to the teachers I. -Ouduct-
ing their classes; and constacrdble IN
terest has been manifested by both Of
icers and teachers. The idea is to Sc

ing the pupils discussion IS held on the
minor and major features.
The first OF these lessons was given
some time ago by Miss NJ. E. Waller

composition. By the use Of a model she
developed oral and written reproduc-
tion in English work. Miss /. I. Kin
ner, of the Lovejoy School, gave a les
son a few weeks later in geography.
The point in this was the use of product
charts, showing commerce and trade
The next one was in Technical grammar
by Miss Mabel Ruby, at the Garrison
School She showed the development of
the complex sentence by blackboard de-
vices and a unique system Of question
ing. The last Of the series was given
Friday at the Birney School, Anacostia,
by Mr.. NJ. Gent Lucas, in the subject
of history. He exemplifed the He
BARTON principles, showing, (I) Prep
arauon-clear impression Of the topic;

under the direction of Miss F. J. Smith,
/ principal; Miss E. Y. Smith, head gar
dener, and Mr.. J. c. Campbell All OF
the teachers and pupils take part in this
work at times. The children are eclips-

work. In the front yard is a well-kept
lawn with tlower-beds and flowers in the
center and running vines on the sides
Vegetables are in the rear yard. In
this garden are peas, beans, oIra, pota-

matoes, cantaloupes. and ater-melons
Many Of them have come up and are
! growing nicely. After leaving the

STODDARD GIVES A BIG DANCE.

One of the largest dances ever known of
in Billings county was given by Commiss-
ioner ]. B. Stoddard at his ranch last Fri
day evening. Mr.. Stoddard employed the
Beach orchestra and threw open the doors
of his new barn which is 4oxeo with 10
foot shed lean-to on each side. and about
two hundred people assembled. coming
from Dickinson Medora, Sentinel Butte,
Beach, Burkey, Wibaux and Carlyle. The
floor il the second story Of the barn
is laid of inch fir no grade
which made a very fine dancing floor. All
guests coming with teams were pleasantly
surprised to find that arrangements had
been made to have all teams fed and stabbed.
Refreshments were served at midnight,
after which Rep. A. L. Martin extended
thanks in behalf of the happy crowd to MIR.
Stoddard for his courteous treatment which
was rendered atquite an enor,.sy4s expense.
Mr.. Stoddard has a flock of over $1,000
sheep, several hundred cattle and horses,
employs about twenty men and, in fact,
has one of the largest and best improved
ranches west of the Missouri River.
