Honorable John w Douglass,
formerly Commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and formerly Com

NEGROES In French A[Tnv
Mr. SEWELL SPEAKS

Three Sundays ago I read in the
New York American, on page 7, an
article written by General Mangin, of
the French Army, saying that the
Government was going to add two
thousand colored troops to the
French Army. They now have 5000
colored infantry and 1000 cavalary.
Afro-Americans are invited TO Join
the army where there is no color line
and where promotion from the ranks
is the same for the colored man as it
is for the white soldier. The fact
is that there is no such a thing as a
color line in France, especially in the
army and navy When the time of
the soldier is up he will find no diff
Guilty in settling down and marrying
French woman of good family. De
scendants of such marriages are seen
all through France and her colonies.
HAVING A PLEASANT TIME
That some of our Washingtonians
are excellent Judges of beautiful
scenery can be proven by a visit to
a spot between Annapolis and Arun-
del, Maryland, on Chesapeake Bay,
where most congenia1 and select
party is now camping. This party is
being chaperoned by Mrs. Worm
ley, of Washington, and Mrs. Rigde-
ley, of Annapolis, is made up of Rev.
and Mrs Bennett, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Cardoza, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Clemm,
Misses Beatrice Ridgeley, Annie and
Elizabeth Howard, Eugenia, JOS
ephine, Louise and Miriam Worm
ley, Fairfax Brown, of Washington,
Miss Sally Matthews, of Annapolis,
Miss Mena Downing, of New York,
Mr.. Harry Davis of Cleveland, Ohio,
DR.. James Cabanis, of New York,
Louis and Neal Ridgeley, Al. Adams
of Annapolis, Firman Wormley and
Charlie Brown, of Washington.
Among the weekend visitors last
Saturday and Sunday were Mr.. and
Mrs. Black, Mrs. Marlborough, Mr..
George Barraud, and Mrs. Howard of
Annapolis, Miss Mamie Burill, Miss
Cora Hawkins, DR.. Stanley lob. DIR.
Bonfeld, and Mr.. Cobb Bruce of
Washington
A more ideal camping ground
could not be chosen. 1t is difficult
to decide on arriving at Adams
Street, the main thoroughfare of this
sheltered nook, whether one would
prefer the bathing and a run on the
beach, a trip in the motor boat owned
by Mr.. Al. Adams or the one owned
by Mr.. Neal Ridgeley-Mr. Adams
being an eligible widower, has some
what the advantage of Mr.. Ridge
ley, but the running is very close.
A delightful row on the bay in a
boat carefully guided and managed
by DR.. Cabanis, or a drive through
the country. The entire party enjoy
ed a ruin by boat to Arundel, last
Sunday, visiting Mrs. Francis, Mrs.
A. NJ. Curtis, Mrs. Lewis ,and the
Douglass family, who are spending
the summer there. Mrs. Nancy Jones
is responsible for the wonderful ap
petites of the campers. Her cooking
! is excellent. Another chaperon may
be needed at the camp these beautiful
moonlight nights. Photos of Mr..
Charles Brown and DR.. Will How
ard, in bathing costume, may be had
by calling at 1910 3rd Street, Wash
ington.
Washington druggists may safely
order a large stock of face bleach as
it will be needed to make some of our
friends recognizable. Three cheers
for Miss Beatrice Ridgeley who first
planned the camp.

burg j. 2. Williams Is well-to.do
citizen and can well afford the trim

to the dairy of Mr.. Bright and asked
for a pint of cream. Mr.Bright sized
up the situation and informed Mr..
Williams that he had already engaged
ell that he could spare for that day. 1t
Is quite evident that Mr.. Williams was
unable to grasp the entire story and
would not have it that way, and In
sisted on having the cream. And Mr..
Bright was just as stubborn in refus-
ing. The two men warmed up to the
occasion, but instead of settling 1t la
Jeffries they have resorted to the
courts, and Williams has brought suit
against Bright for $1,000. The point Mr.
Williams insists on is that Mr.. Bright
is dealer in this commodity and that
he had no right to refuse him when
he had tho cash for The goodg and

turer-Not Covered
by insurance..

Evidently originating from spontau-
eous combustion, brought on by the
intense heat of yesterday, fire broke
out about 10 o'clock last night In the
Jerry Seymour Cooper Shop, situated
on the bank of the Des Moines river
between Union and Vine streets. The
flames totally destroyed the building,
worth $4,000, and badly damaged the
machinery, valued at about $4,000.
The property was divided In six lots,
the two in tho east end Of the struc-
ture, known as the Jerry Seymour
property, was owned by Miss M. L.
Seymour, daughter Of Mr.. Seymour,
and the four lots In the west portion
being owned by tho Ottumwa Nation
al bank. The loss on the part owned
by the bank is fully covered by insur.
ance, but the Seymour part, which
consists Of the two engines, boiler and
most of the machinery, was uninsured
and what damage was done is total
loss. The entire structure was 100
feet long and ga feet wide.
Starts From Shavngs.
John OFT, one of the foreman was
in the building short time before
the fire was discovered. The blaze
did not start In the engine room, but
is believed to have had It's beginning
in the shayings in the cooper shop.
The building is one story structure,
most of the outer walls being com
posed Of stone and was covered by a
composition roof. The blaze was first
discovered at about 10 o'clock and the
alarm was turned into the fire depart
ment, but by that time the whole in
terror was ablaze and the flames were
rapidly working through the roof
BY the time the department had
reached the scene and attached the
hose to the MIGRANTS, the entire build
ling was one mass of flames. Six
streams we're employed on the build,
ing, and while little was accomplish
ed on the Seymour property the
adjoining houses were saved from dan.
ger. The fire was not entirely eX-
tinguished until early this morning.

that he had applied for insurance, but

Mr.. Seymour's shop then was situated

confined to one building, it spread all

the firemen and the volunteers would

ISN'T 1T AWFUL.

inst when we were beginning to
feel good about the outlook, with big
crops assured, business picking up,
tariff wraugling out Of the way, mere
comes Doc. Kellogg of Battle Creek,
Mich, with warning that we are all
on the way to the insane asylum. Or.
kellogg was making speeches at
Chautauaua, N. Y, however. and as
this is the proud parent Of all the lit
lie Chautauuuas where such gro
tesoue things are said and done, there
is probably little need Of packing up
at once to be ready for the trip to MT.
Pleasant DR.. Kellogg said:
Unless the American people change
their habits Of living, they will die
out; they no longer die OF old age;
they kill themselves. Insanity is IN
creasing SO rapidly that at the pres
ent rate we will all be lunatics or
idiots in 265 years. The perversions OF
our civilization, alright houses, decay
of the teeth, the dirty habit of wear
ing clothes, poisonous habits, such as
the use Of tobacco, tight lacing, i'm
proper methods of eating and improper
food are causing the extinction of the
race.
We are not altogether responsible
for acute diseases, but chronic dis
eases are due to our own wrong hab-
it's. We eat rheumatism at the dinner
table and indeed nearly all our dis
eases are due to malnutrition. Unless
we change we are g dying race.
And then, anyway, we have the dec
tors word for it, that 1t will be 265
years before we will all be lunatics or
idiots, SO there is no use Of worrying
\ over it right now.
