Now mebbe that banquet wasn't =
plneapple-just full of juice of sat

was corker. The committee is en-
titled to the greatest of praise They
induced the standpatters. the insur-
gents, the intellectual ten, the Book
critics and the anti-Bookerite the con
tented Office holders and the disap-
pointed ottlCe-seekers all to camp
around the same banquet board, and
fraternize just like they had all been
use to 1t. 1t was whispered Yesterday
by man who does not make a buSi-
ness OF whispering secrets in a tone
OF voice lower than a whoop, that the
knOtuest problem the committee hadf
to solve was who would respond to the
toast The Press. Realizing that the
town is chucked full of newspaper
men, neaT-newspapeT men, would-be-
newspaper men and has-been n~ws-
paper men, and that every mothers
son of them had entered into train
ing for the job of speeding to The
Press, the committee just took 4
damp cloth and wiped The Press" off
the banquet board, and scattered the
press men around so that there was
no opportunity for them to get into =
jam with one another. And the com,
inittee did more, it decided not to have
any set tOasiS-Just let every fellow
ramble around to suit himself! And
all the talks were good ones, in fact
never before equalled at a banquet in
Washington. The two judges, Judge
Terrell and Judge Houston had bat
ting average of 1000 per cent for the
game. Roscoe Bruce made a terrific
hit; Jim Cobb dug up a few skulls
from the legal Cemetary and fitted
them into a fine museum; Kelly Mil

THE MINISTERIAL
CONFERENCE.

The ministers throughout this
country should bear in mind that a
conference of ministers has been
called by DR.. James E. Shepard, of
Durham, N. c., to assemble there
next July. This conference will be
the greatest religious gathering of
divines that has ever been called by
any representative of a religious
propaganda.
The citizens of Durham, n. C.,
irrespective of color, are human
and liberal. They know how and
do treat every citizen with respect.
Once in Durham, n. c., you will
return again. Every colored pas
tor throughout the United States
should avail himself of the invita-
ton to attend this conference of
ministers. All classes of people in
Durham, n. c., work. The mil
lionaire's daughter has no more re-
spect for idleness than those in the
many tobacco mills in the city of
Durham. There you will see the
thrifty colored citizen as busy as a
bee. You will see the great Ma
tional Religious Training School
of DR.. James Z. Shepard, and his
high-class teachers, no doubt some
of the best educated in the United
States. 1t will be an education for
the Northern ministers, especially,
to visit Durham, n. c. You will
see them living in homes of their
own, and driving horses and auto
mobiles of their own. You will
see the colored professional man in
every sphere of life, and all kinds
of industries. You will see no diff
ference between the east side col
Ored citizen and the west side
white man or woman. You will
see the gentlemanly white man and
woman and the gentlemanly color
ed man and woman. You will not
find very many loafers in Durham.
The people are too busy to loaf.
There are many interesting things
to see in Durham that will be a
benefit to all who visit the place
and who have never been there.

will be read with interest and be
seen a cut of a new up-to-date
hotel, for the C0lored Americans, in
this city, known as The Lexing-
ton Hotel. The Bee is confident
that the people throughout the
country, especially those who have
visited this city and have failed TO
get the accommodations they de-
sire, will be pleased to know that
we are to have a irst-class cOlOred
hotel. The Bee also feels confident
that the people will support such
an enterprise, because it is for their
benefit and accommodation. There
is not a hotel in this city for the
Colored people. There are a few
public boarding houses where
strangers would have a delicacy in
allowing their daughters to go
alone. The Lexington Hotel, The
Bee knows will be conducted upon
a strict moral basis, and no one of
questionable character will be ad-
mitted to the hotel under any con-
sideration. When everything is
complete the manager will have an
invited guests reception, which will
be an inspection of this new and
needy enterprise. The editor of
The Bee has already purchased
stock in the new enterprise, and
hence it is personally interested.

MR.. JUSTICE STAFFORD.

The address of Mr.. Justice Stat

District of Columbia, delivered

the greatest addresses that has been
delivered in this city. O! for such
a man, the successor of the late Jus

Bee that the President will consider
such a man as the successor of the
late Justice Harlan.

UNWANING POPULARITY.

The splendid reception, cordial
to an unusual degree, given DR..
Booker 7. Washington during his
recent speaking tour through the
East teStiheS to his growing and
increasing popularity. and teStifes
to the confidence repOSed in him
by all those VINO count for some
thing in iife'S equation. Appearing
before the most cultured white or
ganizations in New England, he
received the same cordial treat
ment, the same respect, and at
tracted the same unprecedented
attention that has characterized his
presence among them in all these
years he has been recognized by
all classes and all races as the I'M
disputed leader of his own race.
Dir. Washington 5 fame is as lus-
trOus as ever, and his usefulness as
unrestricted as ever, and conf
dence in his unSelhshness and in
his purity as strong as ever. 1t
takes more than envy, malice and
selhshness to law low the strong
and upright. The giant oak of the
forest remains impregnable to
fierce winds that blow. when the
saplings all about it are bending
and breaking. A life devoted to
others is a life to which the world
is devoted. DR.. Washington's
popularity is still unwaning.

ESTABLISHED 1880.
HIS BIRTHRIGHT.

The Roman people, in the days
of antiquity, boasted of their birth
right and the power of their citi-
zens to control and manage their
affairs. This city, very soon after
reconstruction, and when citizen
ship, regardless of race, color or
condition predominated, the inter
loper had but little sway in the
affairs of our local government.
Peace and tranquility reigned SUI
preme. The social and political
fabric of our government was the
admiration of the citizens. Our
public schools were composed of
the pureSt in the community and
managed by persons above suspi-
cion. Our citizenship was recog-
nized, and the colored people oc-
cupied positions of honor and
trust. Our citizens now have but
little to say as to the affairs and
management of our government.
The churches, as we'll as the Sab
bath schools, are controlled, to an
extent, by the interloper or the
outCaSt of other cities. Many So
cial functions which were hereto
fore under the supervision of the
real citizens of this city, are no
longer in their hands. 1t is now
the combination of the OutcastS
who would have the outside world
believe that the real social fabric
of the city is composed of the
dame dhOnHeHr. Have we ever
investigated? If so, what do we
find? And when the ancient de-
clared that there was a BrutuS once
that would have braved the eternal
devil to keep his state in Rome,
knew that the invasion of the in
terloper was a dangerous thing to
the Roman people. Has this not
been disastrous to the people Of
this city? What has become of the
once proud social and political fab
riC OF this great city? This city
could at one time boast of its gems.
What gems have we now? There
are some who believe i'll the honor
taught by their ancestors. There
are some others that would like
to change their color and station in
life, but they are estopped by viz
tue of their predominant national
ity. The white people will not
tolerate this class. The whites are
getting away from the blacks and
the blacks are getting too white to
dwell in peace, happiness and CON
tentment with one another Many
of the sO-Called lily whites who
figured SO prominently with the
blacks in days gone by, and who
left for other places, are beginning
to return to their first love Their
symmetrical figure, enchantry YER
nacular and beauty have been
dimmed and Withered by age.
They are no longer the social or
political lights that once controlled
social and political body polite.
They could not be the factors in
the white race, but they return to
their first love with the hope of.
redeeming their lost art.

IS YOUR HAIR
STREAKED WITH
GRAY OR FADED

How often one hears the express
sion, "She is gray and beginning to
look old.", 1t is true that gray hair
usually denotes age and is always
associated with age. You never hear
one referred to as having gray hair
and looking young.
The hair is generally the index of
age. If your hair is gray, you can't
blame your friends for referring to
you as looking old. You can't retain
a youthful appearance if you allow
your hair to grow gray, Many per-
sons of middle age jeopardize their
future simply by allowing the gray
hair to become manifest. If your
hair has become faded or gray, try
