Pulpit Dedicated.

The people of the congregation of St.
Patrick's Church, OF which the late
Father Stafford was the beloved pastor,
last week dedicated wonderfully beau
tiful white marble pulpit to him. The
pulpit is erected in st. Patrick's Church.
and the imposing ceremonies were prob
ably never equaled in any way in WASH
ington except on the day of Father
Stafford's interment. Cardinal Gibbons
officiated The scene of great beauty
was heightened by the red-canopied
throne, which was set up for the Car
dinaI. and the purple one for the Mon
| signori and the Bishop. The pulpit is
| of specially selected Vermont marble,
octagonal in form, and ornamented with
| attractive carved groups and figures.
| The entire work, weighing six tons,
is hung on steel construction, sprung
from the beams supporting the chancel.
This accomplishment is regarded as a
| fine exhibition Of engineering skill. The
pulpit, with its stairs, is valued at $10,-
| 900.
| On Friday the ceremony of blessing
| Father Stafford's tomb and dedication
of the handsome monument erected to
| his memory by his sister, Mrs Helen
| Whitten, occurred.
The grave is marked by,a nat ledger
tomb of Rhode Island granite. On the
top of the stone, in relief, Ii Celtic
cross. This cross has raised ring, and
another in intaglio, bearing the Latin
inscription, "Dulcae Apimae Puras Ell
Mundae Ora Pro Nobis'
On the other side of the cross is the
following text, giving the motive and
work of DR.. Stafford's life. It reads:
In loving memory of
Denis Joseph Stafford.

The Outlook EXPLAINS.

There are none SO obtuse as those
who do not want to understand. Out

Christian Union" announced with
much flourish that President Roose-
welt would be one of it's contributing
editors after he retired from the Presi-
dency, at salary of something like
$35, 900 year. No, the Outlook did
not say that the salary would be that.
but somebody who seems to know an
nounced the size of it. Then somebody
else raked up the fact that when the
Christian Union died and the Outlook
was born a Standard Oil man went into
the directorate-no other than James
Stllman, in fact. Now, the name OF
Stillnan reeks with Standard Oil, don't
you know, and Immediately there were
people who objected TO the President
being connected even remotely with
Standard Oil after his manly fight
against the greasy octopus.
The Outlook has come manfully to
the defense of the President, and ex.
plains that some 40 years ago Rev. Ly.
man Abbott became associated will

Bryce ON the Negro.

The British ambassador made a
speech at Tuskegee Institute one day
last week. and his remarks were very
encouraging to the students.
1--WE have within the British Empire
many millions of the negro race" said
he. 1--WE are profoundly interested In
what is being done here. We hope to
obtain suggestions by which we can be
benefited. 1 have long been convinced
that the idea which is here being
worked out of the Importance Of indus
trial training is sound. 1t is grounded
on the history of the human race
Every family of mankind, whatever its
color has to begin as the white race
did, by acquiring habits of steady and
constant labor. There are many of your
race who have acquired property and
who by their steady labor are helping
with that wonderful progress Of the
South, which strikes any one who comes

in the rotunda of the Capitol, but which
was afterward placed in the open space
at the east side of the building, has beer

For a number of years the removal o

Permanent H.adaunrters.

A permanent headquarters for the
League of Republican State Clubs of
the District of Columbia, where the
, Executive Committees of the 16 State
clubs forming the league can hold their
meetings, has been opened in the new
Metropolitan Bank Building in 10Th
street.
This is the first attempt that any
league OF political clubs has made to
maintain Headquarters in this city. The
results accomplished by the organiZa-
ton in the recent Presidential CAM
paign, when over $4,000 clerks EN-.
| ployed in the Government Departments
returned to their States to cast theil
votes, led to the move.
Two rooms have been rented on the
third floor of the bank building, where
for the next four years, the league
hopes to make its headquarters. One
room is to be used as the offica of Eienry
NJ Camp. President of the League, and
the other will be used by the Executive
Committees of the 16 State clubs form
ing the league. Tho rooms selected are
adjoining those used by tho Republican
National Committees.

among the movements that one can
broadly term philanthropic, in the coun-

and support of our people than the

Thus spoke President Roosevelt to g
gathering of young women of Washing
| ton who called at the White House one
afternoon last week on the Presidents
| invitation to receive his congratulations
| on the splendid work being done by the
Young Woman's Christian Association
| in this city, and to shake hands with the
President ard Mrs. Roosevelt.
Truly, "them as has gits.' Mrs. Root.
wife of the Secretary of State, has Just

and by her will receives a fortune Of
nearly $500, 900. Mrs. Root was already
rich beyond all dreams of avarice.
1t is unofficially stated that the battle
ship Nebraska, during the target prac-
tice now in progress in Manila, broke
all records established by any navy for

While the figures are not obtainable,

Governors of 90 States, experts on

Country Life Commission and the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress.
The Presidents Conservation Com
mission will meet the Governors of the
several States, or their representatives,
lowed by q convention of the Country
Life Commission.
Immediately following these meet
fngs, which were created by President
Roosevelt, the Southern Commercial
Congress will have meeting lasting

For the second time in the history of
"excusing' employees from Government
Departments to attend ceremonies in
which, veterans are particularly inter-
ested, the President has included the
Womans Relief Corps. Mrs. Isabel
Worrell Ball, President of the Depart
ment last year, made a strong repre-
sentation to President Roosevelt that
the Woman's Relief Corps had pecu-
liar interest in all that interested the
veterans, and that when they were ex-
cused from duty to attend the unvailing
of monuments the Woman's Relief
Corps should be included. The Presi-
dent has issued an order that all men,
bers of the woman's Relief Corps en-
ployed in Government Departments
shall be excused to attend the unvail-

Go East For Biz Estate

Senator Robert L. Douglass of Fallon
and his brother Glib Douglass, Secretary
of State, have gone to st. Louis to set
tie suit which has been recently de-
cided there by which they are the richer
to the extent of nearly half million
dollars. ....
It grew out of an issue of bonds by
st. Clair county, Missouri and purchased
by j. NJ. Douglas, father Of the two
we'll known men. The purchase price
paid was $500, 900 and the bonds were
issued for the purpose of paying o bonus
to the st. Louis and San Francisco rail
road to go through that county. When
the bonds became due and payable the
county repudiated the issue and refused
to redeem them. Suit was brought in
the u. s. court of the district of Missouri
and the Douglass heirs won out.
The case was appealed but the decis-
ion of a few days ago was again in their
favor. By the later decision the heirs
will receive the face value of the bonds
and the accumulated interest or o total
of $685.; 1000. Carson Appeal.
