stitutional State and city laws. Tom
IS now fighting the fire he purposely
kindled himself; for years he taught
the young Negro the manly art of low
ing his manhood rights and fighting
for them to the last ditch; now he is
the cringing servant and chief butler
of the man whose paid life-work is to
teach the Negro subsection, surrender
and contentment, in the face of the
abridgement of his rights.
With our understanding of the tenn
perament of Calvin Chase, with his
keen insight to the hidden and dark
purposes of the foxy and great love
for his people, we never dreamed that
it would be possible, for any consid-
Grafton, for anybody to pesuade him
to become a yoke fellow with Tom
Fortune in his present fallen state or
to turn from the good work of trying
to circumscribe Mr. Washington's in
iuence and become an ardent advocate
of the very things he manfully fried
to cut off
When Brother Chase retorts at the
Conservator by saying the Conservator
was disloyal TO the race when it let
Senator Tillman speak in Chicago and
allowed F. L. Barnett to be defeated
for Municipal Judge, we have only to
say that we did our best to prevent
Tillman from coming to Chicago to
insult our people, but failed. That
was no crime of ours. We worked
hard and long, day and night, for Mr..
Barnett's election and seating, but fail
ed in that But when we saw we had
failed we did not go and join our
forces with the enemy in our efforts to
strengthen them for doing more of the
things we hated Does Brother Chase
mean to argue that, because, after fight
ing Washington's doctrine of surrender
as hurtful TO our race, he saw the doc
rine still spread and grow,he thought
It wise to turn and hold up Washing

Brother Chase is too smart a man
not to fully understand the white
South's idea Of the value of Mr.. Wash
ington's doctrine to the Negro. 1t
would be useless waste of time to re-
count for his information the many
dire results to the race which have fol-
lowed and are still following in the
wake of his Propaganda. Chase knows
the history of Washington's whole ca
reer from the beginning and like the
brave man he always has been he has
boldly pointed out to the race the dan

he will stand by his people in his new

BLONDE MEN ARE DISAPPEARING.
This Scientist Says 1t is Too Hard to
Keep Tab on Women.

New York.-That blondes are dis
appearing from the United States, and
that, in time, save those that originate
in drug stores none will be seen, is a
contention Maj c. E. Woodruff, of
P!attsburg, presented to the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science at the recent meeting at
Columbia university.
Once upon a time. when Americans
were chiefly Anglo-Saxons, a large
majority were fair. Now they are
growing darker, even 70 the extinction
of the blonde type, she major declares.
Mai Woodruff read a paper entitled
The Disappearance of the Blonde
Type From the American Population"
before the anthrOpOlogy section. He
presented some interesting statistics
to prove his contention, and outlined
a theory of causes.
Blondes, according to the major,
that is, blonde men-are rapidly dis
appearing from American life. Should
the process which is responsible con-
tinue unchecked, the time is not far
distant when a fiaxen haired man will
be a curiosity The major does not
speak for the women. So difficult is
it to gather actual statistics of the
natural blondes among women, his
figures touch only half the Americans.
At certain seasons of the year
blonde women seem to be on the in
crease. This usually happens in the
spring and summer, when it is fash
iOnable to wear soft, transparent.
fluffy clothes. Then it is, the New
Yorker thinks. some of the scientists
allege that yellow is more becoming
than brown or black.
I have noticed after % years on
the police force that in descriptions of
women arrested in summer the word
appears often" said gray whiskered
sergeant Of an uptown police station.

WOODEN SHOE AN OUTLAW.
ST. Louis Court Decides a Case of Sur
passing Interest.

ST. Louis.-The ancient and honor
able wooden shoe received an uneX-
Dected blow in the decision of a St.
Louis magistrate that a German resi-
dent of this city must cease wearing
shoes made of timber because a dwell
er in the same fat could not sleep on
account of the noise. The law in the
case seems somewhat strained, what
ever the equity and the ethics may be.
Wooden shoes are not Illegal and at
one time in the history of st. Louis
they beat a tattoo on the city's pave
ments as their owners hastened TO
their daily toll in the dim morning
hours. 1t was not the roar of the street
cars that walked the later slumberers
in those days, but a clatter equally in
sistent and penetrating.
The wooden shoe has a history
Modern civilization took its first steps
in them. They encouraged and stood
for honesty of purpose. Nothing much
could be done on the sly in the days
of wooden shoes. Everything was
aboveboard The eavesdrOpper and
the midnight highwayman were prac-
ticaIly unknown. There could be no
secret gatherings to plot and cOnspire
Where two men were gathered to-
gether or attempted TO gather every
body in the block knew it. Did they
ascend or descend the stairs or rise
from their chairs to appropriate an
other pinch of snuff, the entire house
hold and the neighbors were conscious
of the fact.
Wooden shoes secured that publicity
so needful to the leading of blameless
lives that we now depend upon the
newspapers for. The Outspoken wood
en- shoe thwarted those intrigues that
break up families and made impossible
expeditions that break up henroosts.
1t belonged with Old-fashiOned honesty
and virtue, now much less marked in
these gumshOe days. 1t is gone, never
to return, but where it still survives
here and there as a relic of the past it
deserves the respect even of the mag
istTacy.

" CALVIN CHASE SPEAKS.

From the Chicago Conservator,
Commenting on what the Chicago
Conservator said of his acrobatic change
from his old time-honored stand as
a friend and defender of his race to
the advocacy and defense of Booker
T. Washington's doctrine of surrender,
Brother Calvin Chase, in his able pa
per, says among other things
"In an editorial last week the Chi
cago Conservator stated that The Bee
IS one of the prophets in that it has
ioined Editor Fortune in defending
Booker T. Washington. The Bee is
proud to say that it could not have
selected better and ADLER company or
a more loyal and fearless companion
that Mr.. T. Thomas Fortune, of the
New York Age. The Bee cannot de-
fend a more deserving man, and one
who is doing more for the colored
Americans in the United States thaH
Pof. Booker T. Washington. When
the. able editor Of the Conservator learns
to distinguish right from wrong The
Bee will be pleased to join his forces.
The doctrine of surrender is more ap-
plicable to either the editor of The
Conservator than it is to either the
editor of The Age or the editor Of
The Bee"

CLAIMS GIFT OF TONGUES.
Girl Shows Remarkable Power, and
Worlds End Forseen.
sos E Street, n. NJ

Cleveland, O.-Strange things are
happening at the training school for
missionaries at Alliance, o., conduct
ed by Rev. Levi. R. Lupton of that
city and Rev. William z. Smith of
Cleveland. Mr.. LUpton and three or
four of the young women pupils at the
training school say they have just
received the gift of tongues" from
God and are now able to speak sew
eral languages which they cannot un-
derstand, but which, they say, will
enable them TO go to heather lands
and preach the Gospel so that the ma
tives can understand and be convert
ed to Christ
Among the pupils who received the
gift is Miss Mary Corlett, a former
Cleveland school teacher.
Il believe that a real gift of tongues
has come to Miss COrlett. It is a di-
vine gift and its effect, l believe, will
be to convince people that God is
still in the world, said Rev. J. Walter
Malone of the Malone Stone company,
also pastor of the Friends church in

FISH IN MINE PITS
NOVEL SPORT IN OLD PENNSYL-
VANIA IRON REGION.
Abandoned Shafts, Stocked with
Small Fry, Now Ideal Sport for
AngIers-Terrapin Also Raised
for Profit.

Allentown, Pa.-Perhaps the most
peculiar fishing places in the country
are found in Lehigh county. When the
failure of Jay Cooke & Co. Of New
York started a panic which two years
later swept over this county it closed
every hematite ore mine in Lehigh
and caused the loss of millions Of
dollars. These abandoned ore mines.
covering acres of land and ranging in
depth from 30 to 100 feet, gradually
began to fill with water, and in that
condition they remained for years.
1t was a boy who first conceived the
idea that these ore mines would be
ideal breeding places for fish. He
had read book on fish culture,
and he noticed that a particular pit
had the kind of aquatic vegetation
which the book said was neces-
Sary. So he caught a lot of sun
fish, catfish. suckers, eels and chubs
and dumped them into the waters
of the pit and then forgot all about
it.
These fish, undisturbed for several
years, multiplied with amazing ra-
pidity. Several years later a fish
erman on his way home from
trout stream happened to pass this
particular pit Merely as a joke he
baited his hooks with worms and
made cast. He had scarcely done
so when his reel commenced to sing
and to his great amazement he pull
ed out two enormous sunfish. In
side of half an hour he had filled
his creel.
He made quiet investigation
and readily obtained permission
from the owners of the pits to ex-
pertinent in fish culture. He COM
menced to plant black bass and yel-
low perch.
He went about secretly, and the
owners, who did not want to be an
noyed by applicants for fishing priv
ileges, also kept quiet. To-day these
pits fairly TEEN with fish.
In the shallow pits the same en-
terprising individual introduced
land terrapin, which are now bring
ing in a substantial revenue. Some
of the pits, however, are so danger
Gus of approach, owing to steep,
oveThanging and crumbling banks,
that only the most daring venture
within casting distance. At one
pit a nearby tree affords a lodging
place for those who enjoy the novelty
of fishing from a tree. One man has
eree ted a tall scaffolding from which
vantage point he cast heavy weight
ed hanG une.
BLACK bass thrive Better in these
pits than any other fGh. They
grow to enormous size and the eQld'
ness and purity of the wat1s es gives
them not only a gameness but a solid
ity Of flesh which they do not ac-
auire in the finest bass streams in this
state.
Several years ago the owner of a
piese of property on which was an
abandoned ore pit dumped a lot of
bass and pickerel fry into the pit.
Just as soon as they grew big
enough the latter promptly de-
stroyed the bass, but he now has
one of the finest pickerel preserves.
With the advent of cold weather,
when the pit will freeze over, he ex'
