WHAT I SAW AND HEARD.

I was riding in a New Jersey avenue
car last Sunday evening, and | was
surprised on entering to hear three
colored individuals discussing Odd
Fellow matters, and the name of Dr.
Renfro. The discussion was not very
complimentary, but what it was about
l could not ascertain, although they
talked loud enough to be heard
throughout the car. Well, last Mon
day evening, the ex-Grand Master,
Houston, was on an Eleventh street
car, talking TO an old Odd Fellow, and
| heard the name of DR.. Renfro again
The man who was talking to friend
Houston was an old timer in the or
der, and he was telling the ex-Grand
Master something about Renfro and
my friend Pollard. | heard him tel
the Grand Master that Pollard wa:
taxing more interest in the order thar
he used to. Pollard and Renfro mus
be big likes in the secret order.

Washington City relay. Coach Mar
shall, of Howard University, has a
large squad out for training. Manager
Gowens and Captain Quarles of the
University track team promises a rec
ord breaking squad for this occasion,
and expect to take away a majority of
prizes. Entries close this week, and
all expectant athletes are warned to
be on time. Manager K. B. Hender-
son, of M Street High School, has
entry blanks and information for ath-
letes.
Those who attend the indoor games
will see one of the best basket ball
games ever played by colored teams.
Pitted against each other will be
quints representing Howard Univer-
sity and the Alpha Physical Culture
Club of New York City. Howard's five
has defeated three of the best fves in
the East, and has now but to defeat
til: Alpha FIVE to be styled Eastern
Champions. New York teams are ac-
customed to playing on full sized
courts and are usually handicapped in
play here, but on this occasion the floor
will be ideal in proportions and en-
tirely neutral to both teams. The Al
phas have lost only one game this sea-
son, that to the 1910 champion Y. NJ.
c. A. team, which lost not one game
of all played, but has since disbanded.
The New York boys have defeated all
of the crack colored organizations and
many of the local New York A. A. u.
teams. The game will take place
right after the dash events are off the
program, and will be followed by the
quarter-mile, mile, and relay teams.

PEOPLE Invited TO
MAKE BIDS FOR NEW
Government BONDS
Seventy-Seven Mail Bags
Used to Carry Invitations to
All Quarters of the United
States

WASHINGTON, May 17-Seventy-
seven mail bags filled with invitations
for the public to bid for Uncle Sans
new bonds left Washington today.
Every one of the $4,000 national banks
state banks and trust companies of
which the treasury has record will re-
ceive one of the official circulars and
bidding slips, and the man who wants
to lend 500. $500. $1,000 or more to
the government at per cent interest
can learn all the particulars by drop
ping around to see his banker.
TO make the new s5O.OOO,OOo loan as
popular as possible the treasury will
accept ordinary checks payable through
clearing house cities and postal orders
in payment
The small bidders will receive first
attention, which will make it possible
for the individual investor to deal di-
rectly with the government instead OF
with bond dealer.
1t probably win be six weeks before
the successful bidders are announced.
The price they will pay for the new
securities is a conjecture, but the es'
timators put some between par and 105

Sam will owe the people about $963,0Oo,.

are paid. The money from the new is

| Secretary MacVeagh invites popular
subscriptions to a $4,000 issue OF gov
lernment ", Is to reimburse the treas
ury general fund for expenditure OF
account of the Panama canal
Treasury officials expect the loan will
be largely oversubscribed, and in dis
ltributing the new securities, the gov.
lernments announced intention is to giv'
preference to smaller bidders.
BY provision of law, the new bond:
will not be available to national banks
as the basis of circulation. Inasmuef
as they are the first the United States
ever has issued with such restriction
much interest is attached to the pric,
they will bring. According to the law
they cannot be sold at less than par.
Isasmuch as the postal savings banl
law fixes the par value of a posta
bank bond bearing IL per cent inter
est at 500, it is agreed that pei

more than par. How much more is con
