of an enCampment is the information de-
paTtment We will have eight booths
for this purpose. We depend largely
upon the cadets to do duty here. We
need bright young men, pleasant spoken

are told that the cadets will fill these re-
quirements splendidly. In the booths
there viii be maps OF the city, pamphlets
containing information, the official
programs and detailed data of what is
going on at all times. There will be
young men TO answer all sorts Of ques-
tons. The booths will be equipped with
telephone connections and all that is
in the matter of communica-

GREAT MEETING

their work. Nearly every speaker
reused the audience and awoke in
each heart new consciousness OF
duty to the lost world.
Every address was the best.
Friday afternoon was social study.
The home life of the race was dis
cussed. Moral and industrial condi
tions were reviewed, and suggestions
as to the best way to reach the un-
reached, were brought out in nearly
every address. Every phase of Negro
life, north and south was covered.
Those who lead in the discussions
during the foreign mission and So
cial Study periods, gave us in nut
shell, their version of the subjects,
and clinched the arguments of those
who had relivered the principal ad-
dresses.
Friday evening our young girls had
the platform. Every available space
in the church was occupied. Men and
women who had attended all kinds of
conventions in this and other coun-
tries, declared that it was the best
meeting they had ever witnessed.
Ghey stood for hours and were sway
ed by the earnestness, the eloquence,
and the enthusiasm of the young wo-
men, who have dedicated their lives
to the Lords service. Miss Kath-
eryne Johnson, of Chicago, Illinois,
presided. She is perfectely at home
on the platform, and made a splendid
presiding officer. The singing by the
children'S band of the Shiloh Church,
OF Columbus, was indeed a treat. The
little soloist from Cincinnati. under
Miss Fannie Blackburn, sang herself
into the hearts of the people. The
solo by Miss Jessie May Gross of
Houston, texas, showed the result
servatory in Boston. The sweet sing
of her careful training at the Con
er from Georgia, Miss Clara Bell
Rivers, captivated the audience. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Miss. Ida

was the offering for the Sab /
bath Day to entertain an audi
ence composed chiefly of young
boys and girls in their teens.
Such bill would be bad if offer
ed by a conscienceless fakir, but
when it is known that a school
teacher in the public schools OF
this city is the proprietor OF this
moving picture snow referred to
it calls for the severest censure
from parents, and the School
Board. No teacher should be
allowed to remain on the pay
roll of the Washington schools
who will offer such a bill for
week days, much less for Sun
day. The police should censor
these moving pictures. There is
a class of moving pictures that
are highly edifying and of edu-
cational value, but the series Of
fered last Sunday was positively
degrading. Parents should see
to it, if the police will not stop
such disgusting and degrading
exhibits, that their children be
not allowed to attend. Such pic
lures, and such vaudeville skit
are disgusting and degrading
even to adult persons. In the
interest of the children and pub
lie decency, The Bee proposes to
keep tab on these moving pic
ture shows.

WHITE VS.. BLACK

There is a disposition on the
part of some white officials in
authority to show to the Negro
that he is the white mans infer
ior. Wherever the white man is
in control, he, to a great extent,
exercises his authority over his
subordinate colored brother.
The Bee is informed that the
cOlOred laborers in the interior
department are badly treated.
On the laborers' roll may be seen
the names-of several highly edu-
Gated colored men, while many
OF these men are entitled to pro
motion they can never obtain
one. The colored 1aborer in the
interior department has a hard
time.
The Bee is confident that Sec
retary Ballenger is not respon-
sible for the condition of the
colored laborers in his depart
ment. These are facts that should
be investigated.

TAFT AND DISFRANCHISE
MFNT.

1t is to be hoped that the
letter Of President Taft to The
Washington Times denouncing
the proposed disfranchisement
amendment for Maryland will
defeat the amendment. Presi-
dent Taft spoke out strongly on
it. There was no miscOnstruing
or. misinterpreting his words He
was opposed to the measure and
unalterably SO. He is sincere in
his opposition. In a letter he
wrote to Auditor Tyler last week
he stated that he hoped the
amendment wolud be defeated ];
that it was an outrageous thing,
and that he wrote his letter with
the purpose Of defeating it, if
possible. The colored voters Of
Maryland should thank thePres-
ident for his interest, and the
colored voters of the country
should be thankful that a Presi-
dent stands committed against
the passage of disfranchising
laws. The Bee praises the Pres
ident for his opposition to the
Maryland disfranchising amend
ment. Taft's all right, and the
race will find it out later, if this
is not sufficient to prove he is
a friend. Just putting men in
office is not the whole thing.
Protesting against and helping
to defeat disfranchising measures
is OF more value than appointing
fifty men to office.

This period represents the first

The work of the hospital has been
cvonducted with marked degree of
success, due in great measure to the
harmonious relations of its several
departments and efficiency of service
by those connected Herewith. At the
close of the preceding fiscal year
there were I3I patients remaining
in the hospital. During the year just
ended 2,346 were admitted and 244
births occurred, a total of 2,72I under
care.
OF these 1896 wer residents of the
District of Columbia, and 885 wer

Of the death, 81 occurred within
fortyeight hours after admittance,
being absolutely beyond human aid

MISCHIEF MAKERS

There are people who are
never happy unless they ale
making mischief. Old men and
old women make more mischief
to a square inch than any other
class of individuals. The old
man is worse than the old wo-
man.
The mischief maker has a style
and peculiar way of putting one
against the other. The Bee has
known where two lifelong
friends, living near one another
in peace and happiness. Their
happiness has caught the jealous
eye Of some mischief maker. The
mischief maker will, in a sly
way, say something that he
knows will tend to sever their
friendship. Some people will be-
lieve whatever IS told them;
whether it be true or false.
A man or woman who will be-
lieve anything and everything
that is told him or her, you may
conclude that he is a very weak
man. A little expression said in
a joke is often diverted to a
great tale. Without thinking,
the person to whom it is said
concludes Immediately that his
old friend has been talking about
him. Unless the man is strong
in mind, he will believe the first
story.
The mischief maker has a
heavy eye. He cannot look you
straight ard honestly in the face.
He will show his teeth and gums.
His object is to separate you and
your friend. You should never
believe what is always told you.
Never distrust your friend or one
that has demonstrated his friend
ship Tor you, from what a mis-
chief maker tells you. A mis-
chief maker will extoll his own
virtues and those of his imme-
date family. 1t. is we'll that you
don't believe any thingA he tells
you. If he has daughters, hel
will Immediately tell you that his
daughters are the personihcation
OF uprightness and their exist
ence is no expense to him. He
sees no good in other people: in
himself he sees nothing but sun
shine.

DEGRADING MOVING PIC
TURFS.

A certain moving picture the
atre offered as its bill last Sun
day evening a series of pictures
not calculated to raise the stand
ard of morality, especially for
children who attend. The first
series showed a robbery scene.
The next was a hold-up of a
stage coach by highwaymen. in
cluding barroom scene in when
a double murder was enacted.
The moving picture part of the
show wound up with the pictures
of the Nelson-Gans prize fight.
During an interval a vaudeville
skit was put on the crude stage,
in which two colOred fellows,
outlandishly attired, got off a lot
of stale chestnuts which were a
mOckefy on the race, some very
bad clog dancing, and some bad
singing which was simply a
travesty on music, for all of
which they should have been
run in by the police and given
thirty days at least. Now this

that has been delivered by Mr.,

For the benefit of our esteem

lection of the president of the
alleged National Press Associa

The Bee feels confident if DR..
Washington or Mr.. Scott had
been consulted, neither would
have selected Mr.. Thompson.
The Tribune, as The Bee is. is
opposed to a correspondent be-
ing at the head of an editorial

The reason the Negro is not a
factor in this country, is because
he is not united.
Why are mischief makers tat

With two big deals nonsummated during the past few days, a number of transactions closed and much business in sight for the coming week, the real estate situation in this city shows B better tone than has been manifest for several months.
 The fact that N. l.. Amster, already interested in number of enterprises here has seen fit to re-invest a good share of the money he is to receive from the sale of the Pinal Mountain Water company into Globe property, has had its effect on other prospective invest OTIS, who have been rather on the fence as to whether or not they should put their money iI local property.
 The decision of the Elks to purchase a part of tho Lundy property, on Broad street between CeGar ana Mesquite, has had corresponding effect,
 These two propositions alone mean an investment of approximately $50, 900, not including the money which will later be expended in improving these two properties.

RICH GOLD STRIKE UNCOVERED AT
 SYLVAN|TE
ORE RUNNING EIGHT THOUSAND PER TON FOUND ON THE
 RIDGwAY CLAIM.

sYLVANITE, April 24.--A strike of real high-grade ore was made on the Ridgway claim, about a mile and half southeast of here, ard adjoining the Gold Hill property on the south. Tb~ strike was made across the gulch from the 6ftyfoot tunnel which was recent y contracted for, and practically at the surface.
 The company's engineer was looking over the ground, and ordered shot put in at a place where he found some free gold showing in the croppings, with the result that the rock was found to be literally peppered with the gold. The ledge is several feet wide, and the rich streak from twelve to fifteen inch es and conservative estimate of the latter would be at least 5000 to the ton, while some claim that it will run as high as $6,000 or $S,000.
 This camp has been very quiet for the last few weeks, and this new find has created a great deal of excitement here. About half ton of this ore has been sacked already, and men are ai work saving all the high grade ore,
