The ability of Bobby Wallace to
make good as the manager Of the st.
Louis Browns is the popular topic of
the fans in the Mound City at the
present time. Bobby has always been
a good ball player. and his record on
the field is n that the best Of the
diamond stars might be proud of. His
friends feel sure that he will be equal
ly successful in his new berth, provided
he is given full power wei the play
ers. or course Wallace may not bring
the Browns up from last place to cham
pions in a year. but his handling of
the team will pave the way for first
class results in following seasons. Wal
lace belongs to the silent class of ball
players, his methods being those Of
Frank Chance and Connie Mack rather
than the blustery. noisy sort. He has
delivered his ultimatum to the players,
and the latter will have to knuckle
down and deliver the goods if they ex-
pect to get along with the new man
aper.

A Civ Within q Civ.

In Augsburg, Germany, there is a
little city in the heart of the city shut
in all by itself with two gates and
named the "Fuggerei." 1t is so called
because the JOG houses within it were
built with money left by Fugger, the
wealthy sixteenth century banker.
When he died he directed hat these
houses should be built and then given
to the poor aged families for 4 marks
and II pfennigs rental a year, which is
exactly one American dollar. They
have four rooms and kitchen, with a
little front garden and a little garden

Fifty sons and daughters of pro-
fessors at the University of Missouri.
most of them from six to twelve years
old, are receiving their elementary ed

DDS OF teaching.
Instead of sending their children to
the public schools in Columbia the
professors send them tt an elementary
school Of seven grades in connection
with the school of education for ex-
p%erimentation and investigation in
teaching.
Add Only When There's Need To.
These children. for instance, are not
taught to add until there is occasion
for them to add. When they play
their motives are investigated and a
course of study devised to suit their
motives. Their lesson in addition and
arithmetic may not come until after
they have played games and the
scores are to be computed. They learn
something about grammar. spelling
and similar things when they write
bout these games. Their history is
presented to them by drama. and they
learn about business. trade and civil
government. not from books. but by
visiting the Columbia stores and the
municipal and county offices.
Little time is spent by the children
with books. They are taught prac-
teal things-cooking. sewing and man
ual training. Not even the boys are
excepted from the cooking. Just now
much Of their time is employed in the
study of gardening and agriculture.

To Give Parents a Dinner.
The children are making twelve
model gardens and are doing all of

declarations and Rotations. Instead
they are planning a big dinner. which

ed at the dinner will come from the

The needed food for one person
costs only 10 cents a day. according
to Professor j. L.. Henderson of the

elements. two of which are water and
salt. which cost virtually nothing,

Thompson to Compete Again.

Fred Thompson, who won the al.

fall, says he is anxious to compete
again for the title and that he will soon
start training at Princeton.
"The biggest reason for causing me
to wish to enter the all around meet
this year is not the lure Of the game,
but to feel that l have had a fair

Thompson. at is a very easy thing
to argue from a qualified success in the

Death OF A
VETERAN GUARD
Bach Was One Of the Men Who
Watched Jefferson Davis.
TOLD INCIDENTS OF WAR.

Fallen Confederate Showed No Fear
During His Prison Hardships-Pac-
ing of Sentries Past His Cell Made
Davis Extremely Nervous The
Stacking Incident.
William Bach. ST.. seventy-seven
years old. last survivor of guards over
President Jefferson Davis while the
latter was a prisoner at Fortress Mon
roe at the close Of the civil war, died
recently at Bloomington, III.
Bach was Il private of the Third ar
tillery in the civil war and was on
duty at Norfolk. Va. when a detail
was requested to guard President Da-
Wis. Bach was one of the squad as
signed to this duty, and he had often
told the story of the noted prisoners
Incarceration.
Remembers Davis Clothes.
Troops from Michigan captured the
southern executive. and he was
brought to the fort on the steamer
William Clyde. General Nelson A.
Miles, then in command of the fort,
issued orders placing a double line of
guards from the wharf to the fort. and
between this line Davis walked. arm
in arm with General Miles. Davis
wore a handsome suit Of Confederate
gray and a SLOUGH hat of the same
color.
Davis was then ifty-seven years of
age, but he was a physical wreck. and
his appearance was that of a man of
twenty years older. He was partially
blind. his face thin and pale. and his
entire body appeared greatly emaciat-
ed. Yet there was no evidence of fear
as he walked slowly along between
the grim line Of guards with the
frowning uns Of the fort bearing
upon him.
Davis Sensitive to Noise.
Davis. according to Bach. was sensi-
tive to noise. and the monotonous pac-
ing of the sentries by his cell made
him extremely nervous Only a Bible
and prayer book were allowed him for
reading, and conversation was prohib-
tied. He was unable to eat the fort
rations. and finally his meals were
brought to him from a hotel.
The incident of Stacking President
Davis was a thrilling one. Bach recall
ed. The order came from the secre-
tary Of war. and. although General
Miles was severely criticised for en-
forcing it. he was forced to obey orders.
The war department simply yielded to
public sentiment, then at fever heat.
and which demanded a victim.

die first!v' he exclaimed. 1t was neceS-
sary to overpower him.
Thus chained. he lay dejectedly upon
his couch and refused to eat. His
wretched physical condition led to the
annulment Of the order. In excuse for
the order it was said that feeling in
the north ran high.
Late in the fall of 1865 Bach and
other members of his regiment were
mustered out Of the service. and he re-
turned home.

SENATOR BURTON

That Senator Burton IS one OF
the ablest men in the United
States Senate, and a worthy sue
cessor OF the many great men
the Buckeye State has sent to the
Senate, is being evidenced in ev-
cry debate in which he engages.
He is a clear, lucid. incisive de-
batter. He can take the most
complex and difficult of under
standing economic questions and
make them clear and perfectly
understandable to the simplest
minded person. Take his remarks
made III the Senate Monday i'll
the debate on the campaign pub
licity bill, for instance. In the
discussion of this bill lot OF alb
stract legal propositions were in
jected - so many, and SO varied
as to their bearing on the main
proposition-that to the initiated
the plain common citizen not
versed IN laW-the discussion be-
came a maze OF perpleXing COM
plications. When Senator Bur
ton arose to speak, his language
was so plain, his statement of
facts SO clear, and his explana-
tion of points so lucid, that every
one who heard him, or who have
since read his remarks understood
perfectly the aim and scope of
the campaign publicity bill.
Senator Burton is every inch a
statesman, and a credit to his ma
tive State. He is a serious-min1-
eG man Of public affairs who la

a Christian Judge and a man
.of high moral character.
AS a Christian and a man who
.f1.eves in a God, and having
been taught to believe that out
|of one flesh all humanity IS made,
why should he say. in reference
to the Cory girl, had she been
a colored girl he would know
where to send her? Will the
Judge of the Juvenile Court eX-
rlain what he means? Does hs
mean to say that he would have
sent the Correy girl to the Re-
form School, where cOlored girls
are sent. if she had been a col
cred girl? Why are colored girls
.ent to the Reform School AMI
white girls who commit similar
offenses sent to other instltu-
tions? Does the Judge of the
Juvenile Court believe in separate
places of punishment? Does he
believe that God has one place OF
T l.ishment for white people and
another place for the colored Peo-
ple? Does he believe that the
good white and colored people
will go to separate places or viii
be separated after they reach the

NEGRO DEMOCRACY.

1t is amusing as we'll as ridicu-
lous to hear colOred men declare
for the Democratic party. 1t IS
a question of serious consldera-
ton whether it would not be ad-
visable to have these cOlored
men examined. Just how a col
ored man can declare for the
Democratic party in the face OF
existing conditions is a question
for serious consideration.
Democratic Representatives in
Congress are declaring against
the Negro every day. In States
where the Democratic party IS IN
control the colored citizens have
no more rights than convict has
in a penitentiary, except the cltl-
zen is allowed in the open, while
the convict's privileges are lin
tied.
A writer to The Bee a few days
ago iustifes Democratic Negroes
for accepting spIttoon washers
positions at the Capitol. He for
gets that under a Republican ad-
ministration the colored citizen Is
not only appointed to positions
Iof spittoon washers, but to other
high and responsible positions.
Vicious .utterances Of the Gov
ernor of South Carolina a few
weeks ago are evidences of the
feeling Of the Democratic party
in the South toward the colored
citizens, The Democratic party
has nothing for the Negro Dem
Iocrat. The Democratic party has
no faith in the Negro Democrat
and many of them remark theme
gro is ungrateful If he deserts
those who have protected him.
There must be insanity in the

thing but insane beings would
support those who abuse them.
There is no difference between
an insane person and Negro

Democrat. An insane person will
attack his best friend. If the Ne
gro Democrat was not insane he
would not go to his enemy.
If the Democratic party held
out any inducements to the col
ored Americans, The Bee would
not complain. If the Democratic
party in States that it controls
would repeal its obnoxious laws
there would be an inducement for
Negroes to give it aid.
Negro Democracy cannot be a
factor.
