Elicits Expressions of Ap-
probation From Citizens.
WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.


The announcement that branch Of
the Carnegie Public Library is now
assured for Congress Heights, through
the action OF Col. Arthur e. Randle,
has ELECTED expressions of appreciation
not only among the residents of Con-
gress Heights, but among Anacostians
as well. The matter recently was given
publicity in The Times, following an
effort on the part of citizens of Congress
Heights to have a branch library estab-
lshed at that place or in Anacostia.
Since then Andrew Carnegie has been in
receipt of so many communications on
the subject that on the occasion of his
latest visit to Washington II Is said he
began to make inquiries concerning the
growth Of Congress Heights.
Colonel Randle has brought the situa-
ton to a close. in the most practicable
way, 1t is pointed out, and has donated
site on Nichols avenue for the build
ing. At the same time Senator CALM
ger has introduced bill authorizing
the Commissioners to accept $50, 600 from
Mr.. Carnegie to establish the Congress
Heights branch.
The Public Improvement Association
of Congress Heights has been informed
of Colonel Randle's action by letter
to President w. w. Price. 1t is set
forth In this communication that Mr..
Carnegie was paid big tribute in flow
ers by the Congress Heights school
children at Decoration Day exercises in
1903, since which 1t Is understood the
ironmaster has always had warm
place in his heart for the town.
The Rev. M. p. Egan, assistant pastor
of st. Teresa's Church, conducted SER

me how to hive humble bees and it
was a success, and for the benefit of
farmers and Brother Lewis, give
you the benefit of my experience.
Take a jug, (all the farmers of
Tazewell have jug) and fill 1t one
third full of water. Set the jug by
the nest, get pole-a long one is
the safest-stir up the nest two or
three times, and you will have all the
bees in the jug that are in the nest.
First cover up the jug except the
mouth. The sound of the bees flying
over the jug attracts them and they
go in as though 1t was the nest. The
water serves to wet the wings so they
can't get out. This learned SO years

HERBETT YEUELL
TUESDAY NIGHT
Win Lecture on "The Paris
of Napoleon and Today"
For Baptist Church.

The return of DR.. Yeuell is being
eagerly looked forward to, and those
who know of his splendid lectures are
anticipating rare treat. When DIR.
Yeuell was asked to return he gave
the people their choice of subjects, -
1.-The Passion Play as / Saw it," or
1.-THE Paris of Napoleon and Today. {"
The latter subject was chosen and we
are assured that this famous lecture
is fully equal to any of the splendid
entertainments that have preceded it
in our town. An Elwood, Ind, paper
says: CDR. Yeuell's pictorial lecture
work will never be forgotten. He is
to return for the fourth time next
Tuesday. This time his theme will be
The Paris of Napoleon and Today I"
From Redlands, Calf, paper we
quote the following: "The great
crowd which filled the huge tent last
night had rich and rare treat. The
lecture, 'The Paris of Napoleon and
Today. was one of the finest travelo-
CUES which fall in the way of the
average man. Indeed it was a great
surprise to the person who has not
travelled, and seen and heard. DIR.
Yeuell has demonstrated his wondor
full ability as popular lecturer, as a
preacher, leader and organizer, but
last night another demonstration was
made in which he appeared success
fully, in the role of q traveller relat-
ing his experiences, and carrying his
hearers with him through the wonders
of one of the most beautiful cities in
all the world. The pictures used are
not easily described. Such exquisite
ness of coloring, such reality of situa-
tion. such wonderfully perfect dis
solving effects as they were thrown
in perfect mechanical smoothness upon
the large screen. The audience was
fairly entranced with their artistic
beauty, from the pictures showing the
method of travelling by sea, on
through the pictures of historic
scenes about Paris, with now and then
copy of the most famous paintings
in the world. The great buildings,
the boulevards, the amusements of
Paris, passed before the vision in
rapid succession And then the
latter part-really the climax of the
lecture. dealing with the life of Napo-
leon and his influence upon the city
that still idolizes his memory-his
amazing ascendency, his remuneration
of Josephine, his remarriage, the
birth of the "King of Rome" his
famous battles, the magnificent pal
ace at Versailles, with it's art treas
ures, all seem pregnant with the life
of the times. The hundreds of people
who have enjoyed this series of lee
lures regret exceedingly that these
times of entertainment have drawn to
a close. -
This lecture will be given by DIR.
Yeuell on Tuesday evening, August
13, at the High School hall, with two
hundred of his excer tionally fine pic
lures. The people of Tazewell have
learned to look forward to and appre-
ciate these rare opportunities Of see
ing and studying these interesting
lectures.
