Mr.. Otto Boiler of Munich, Ger
many. has been studying us from his
philosophical German eyes, and his ul-
1imatum is that Washington is the most
beautiful city in the world, and Mr..
Boiler adds: Il have visited almost
every point on the globe. and while not
as interesting as Paris nor as historical
as. London. Washington, L believe, Is
the most beautiful city that have ever
set foot in
One of the moving picture shows in
Washington had as its attraction last
week former President Roosevelt and
Kermit on their hunting trip in Africa
One picture shown was that OF the
hunting party crossing stream ana
Mr.. Roosevelt being borne across on
the shoulders of several native guides.
Some of the pictures were very funny
and all of them very good. Mrs. Alce
Roosevelt Longworth attended the first
showing of the pictures, and her clear,
ringing laugh was heard many times
during the performance.
Four Washingtonians, Col. NJ. A.
Winter Col. E. R. Campbell, Capt. Geo.
W. Ferris and Capt Chas. A. Gold
smith, will be the guests of the En-
peror of Germany at the reunion of the
German Veteran League, which will
take place in Berlin in the near future.
The organization is called in German
the Krieger Bund," and is similar to
the Grand Army of the Republic. its
members being mostly veterans of the
Eranco-German War. 1t is said that
the Emperor is personally directing all
the arrangements for the reception of
the distinguished Americans, and he is
anxious TO show them that altho his
Government is sometimes very hard on
those who evade military service in the
German army, he can honor those who
served for their country'S defense.
Wearing the uniform of the minute
men of the American Revolution, the
four visitors will be received at the
courts of the 26 rulers of German
provinces During the stay of three
months the party will be the guests of
the Kaiser.
The African Methodist Episcopal
Church Extension Society held a meet
ing of the Board of Managers last week,
and during the day called on President
Taft, who received them cordially. In
cidentally it may be said that there has
never been a President Of the United
States who was accessible as much of
the time to the public as President
Taft

The Daughters of 1912, who have been

The joint committee of the Board of
Trade and Chamber of Commerce., in
charge of the arrangements for the
Annual Citizens Dinner to the Presi-

gentle hint from the White House that
President Taft had had about all the
feeding" he could take in this Spring,
and a suggestion that the dinner go
over until Fall, when the pressure up
on the Presidents time would not be
so great. and so it was postponed.
My, how United States Senators do
shy around the suffrage question: The
Texas women sent up a big petition
which they expected Senator Bailey
would present TO the United States Sem
ate, but in some way il landed in Sen
ator Gorah's hands. and when he pre-
sented it Senator Bailey said: This is
service Texas is perfectly willing for
Idaho to perform" Senator Bailey is
q pronounced anti-suffragist.
Senator Elmer J. Burkett, of Ne.
braska, has introduced a bill TO estab-
iish a National School of Forestry at

Just been appointed to defend a friend
less and penniless negro, Victor Nelson
who is charged with murder. Justice
Malone, OF New York City. made tho
appointment of Mr.. Cochran in accord
ance with the plan of appointing lead
ing members OF the bar to defend pooi
prisoners. II must be a rather funnl
position for the eloquent orator o
Democracy.
