Dry Goods

New York, May 1.-THE improvement
in the cotton goods market was continued
on convertibles, print cloths, sheetings
and drills during the day. Cotton yarns
are firmer and higher. The local wool
markets are quiet, with some fair in
ouiries reported at these low values.

surfing the members of the clerical
force that they would have nothing
to fear So long as they performed
their work with accuracy and dis
patch.
Gift of Office Force
Walter Pinchback, a clerk, bade
Mr. Dancy goodbye on behalf of the
office force, and for them presented
him with a Masonic gold ring, stud
ded with diamonds, a token of their
respect and of his efforts in their
behalf, referring to the fact that he
had invariably accorded them every
consideration, and had treated them
with the greatest fairness, Mr..
Dancy responded.
Reference was made to the fact
that the balance turned into the
Treasury from the Office had grown
from $774.9I in 1902 to $Io,936.67
in 1909, and the receipts from S24,-
235.65 in 1902 to $397I3.77 at the
close of the fcal year of 1909.

Collier Draws Comparisons.

Robert J. Collier is compared zUifh an
honest man! Comparisons are OdiOus
at all times, but this particular com
parisOn IS particularly odious. We
quote: "Now suppose Robert J. Collier,
owner of this paper, should, on a pleas
ure trip to Alaska, discover a mountain,
go back to New York, and secure the
names of employees of his business es-
tabliShment and the names of his kin
folk by blood and marriage to the 4th
and 5th remove He send back TO
Alaska one man with a power of attor-
ney from each of these employees and
relatives, who, by the way, never bulge
from their homes. This attorney-in-
fact locates all the claims on the noun
tainS for the sole benefit of Mr. Collier"
The writer's inference being that Mr.
Robert ]. Collier-my bOss-wOuld not
do such thing Our answer is, were
il possible for Robert J. Collier to leave
off his affairs" in New York long
enough to travel to Alaska; and, fur
ther, were it possible for Mr.. Robert ].
Collier TO discover anything and he did
discover a mountain, as herein sug-
gested, he would do the very thing Of
which this hireling hopes the world will
believe his master incapable.
The final article will be published in
the next issue of The Bee.

SERVICE FOR OLD FOLKS
Annual Reunion" at Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church.

Street Baptist Church.
Cast me not off in my old age"
This golden-lettered inscription
festooned across the pulpit of the
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church
signalized the spirit of the "old folk"
service held at the church Sunday
morning. The pastor, Rev. Walter
H. Brooks, preached upon "Ihe Day
of Pentecost," and excellent music
was given by the choir. The old
folks committee arranged long tables
in the lecture room, each fOrally dec
GRATED and provided with the seasons
choicest menu. The old members of
the church, many of them blind, some
paralyzed and others feeble, were
brought from all parts of the city in
carriages furnished by the committee,
an hour early enough to attend the
service of the church, and upon their
return each was presented with a
bag of candy, cake and fruit This
annual serivece is looked forward to
with great pleasure by the old folks,
many of whom get to church but this
one time in the year. The success
of yesterdays reunion" is due in
large part, it is explained, to the
committee which had the affair in
charge.

Coast. He secs things" in the East.
The Standard Oil monster, with all its
ramihcations, is mentioned. J. P, Nor
gan and Company is introduced. Gug-
genheim Brothers are paraded. Why
Collier did not travel further East and
name the Rothschilds we cannot i'm
agine. 1t would. however, have been
very gratifying to us had he travelled
to the Far East and named the great
Negro Potentate and fnanCier, Meme
Iik, which he could have done with as
much reason as there is for his naming
some of the persons just enumerated.
Richard a Ballinger, to have all these
men and riches, as Collier says, at his
beck and call, must be a veritable devil

in those states where the state law
requires separate schools for the two
races.
The appropriation from the United
States Treasury to each State and
Territory under the Morrill, Acts was
forty thousand dollars last year and
will be forty-fve thousand dollars
next year and fifty thousand dollars
.ach year ever after for the support
of instruction in agriculture and the
mechanical arts.
Fifty-one States and Territories
are now receiving grants of money
under the Morrill, Acts. In thirty
five Of these States the Morrill, Acts
grant is given to an institution which
makes no distinction in the admis-
SION OF students on account of race
and color.
In sixteen States the grant is di-
vided between two schools-one for
the colored people, and one for the
white people.
An amendment known as Bill HR.
243Io has been introduced in the
House of Representatives by Mr..
Bouteli to extend the benefits of the
Morrill, Acts to the District of Co
lumbia.
The Boutell Amendment contains a
provision that will be far-reaching
and disastrous in its effects upon the
rights OF the colored people, for it
seeks to amend the Morrill, Acts so
as to allow the George Washington
University - an institution which
does not admit colored students - to
receive the entire appropriation for
the District Of Columbia.

Editor Washington Bee:


IN this article | will demonstrate
Golfers ability to lie, pure and SIM
pie, by inference, by innuendOes, and
otherwise.
will first invite your readers at
tentiOn to the much exploited note, a
fac-simile Of which is found III the
"Ballinger-Shyster" article; this IS a
Joint note made by the firm OF Heck
man & Hanson, signed for the firm by
Martin Hanson, and signed for Heck
man, of whom we will treat later, by
K. A. Ballinger, attOTney-1n-tact.
This note was secured by a real and
chattel mortgage on the Hickman and
Hanson firms prOperty-and was to
run for 90 days. Collier complains of
the security. What else was to be Of
fered as security? r. A. Ballinger' S
property if he had any? Collier, with
his big heart OverflOwing with right
eousness, would, no doubt, have ad-
vanced the money off hand, but this
bank wanted security. This money
was to go into the business of Heck
man and Hanson; even Collier should
see what security should be offered.
But the note was for 90 days, and not
for five years-says COllier-HeCk-
man was in Alaska place he un-
fortunately appears to have been
every time his firm was pinched for
money, and the needs of the firm were
urgent and pressing-the money must
be available at once. The collateral
agreement between the bank, Ballin-
ger, and Hanson, was that the loan
would be readjusted upon the return
OF Hickman.
