NEGRO AT TABLE
WITH PRESIDENT
Booker Washington Dines
At the White House.
MRS. ROOSEVELT ALSO PRESENT
Likewise the Children of House
hold-First Incident of the
Kind So Far Recorded.
A Washington special says: Booker
T. Washington, colored, president of
the Tuskegeo, Ala., institute, was a
guest of President and Mrs. Roosevelt
at dinner at tho white houso Wednes
day night. Washington is probably
tho first American negro to dine with
a president of the United States and
his family, although It was reported
that President Cleveland oneo enter
tained a negro friend at the white
house board.
Since President Roosevelt occupied
the white houso, there has hardly been
a dinner without its guests, and as the
president has been so free with his in
vitations no special list of guests i3
prepared and the ushers do not know
who the guests will be until they ar
rive. Wednesday night, just before 8
o’cloek, a negro in evening dress pro
sented himself at the white house,
and, giving his name, said that he was
to dine with the president. Booker
Washington has made several visits
to the white house and his face is
known there, so he was at once admit
ted into the private apartments and
the president notified of his arrival.
No other guest arrived and the dinner
was soon served.
Dinner at the white house since the
Roosevelts have occupied the man
sion has been a family affair, Mrs.
Roosevelt and the two children appear
ing at the table with father, mother
and guests. After dinner the president
takes his guests to the library, and
there, over cigars, things political and
otherwise are discussed.
On this occasion tho usual order of
affairs was not disturbed on account
of the color of the guest of honor, and
Washington left the* whit© house
about 10 o’clock, apparently very
much pleased with his dinner and Ills
chat with the president.

Mrs. Cantrill ordered a cot to be taken
to the court house to be used by the
judge, who is not in good health. As
the man entered the court house with

his way through a crowd of mountain- j

“What’s that cot for?” asked one of
the men.
“For Judge Cantrill,” replied the
man,
“Take It on. The d--will

NO HOPE FOR SCHLEY!
Be Is Already Convicted By Prejudic*
edNavy Officers.
In view of the developments thus
far brought out by the Schley court of
inquiry, it will doubtless surprise the
average fair-minded citizen to learn
that prominent naval officers directly
interested in the investigation of Rear
Admiral Schley have been heard to re
mark:
“The charges against Schley will be
sustained, notwithstanding the show
ing Schley and his counsel are making.
It is a one-man court antagonistic to
Schley and we are not in the least dis
turbed as to the final result.”

F UNNY STORIES TOLD.
; Abduction of Old Lady Stone Is
Subject of Diverse Comment
i By Press and People.
TUo London Globe Bays it fears that
the ga/ety of Miss Ellen M. Stone Is
seriously compromised by the attitude
of Consul General Dickinson In refus
ing to pay the ransom and in demand
ing that Bulgaria arrest the leaders of
the Macedonian committee as tbe
real authors of the missionary’s ab
duction. The paper says the situa
tion contains all the factors of a grave
International complication, and threat
ens to assume importance far beyond
tbo personality of any individual mis
sionary.
“An extraordinary version of the
Stone abduction comes from Constan
, tinople," says a dispatch from Vienna
j t0 London Daily Telegraph. "It
j s declared in Turkish official circles
t j iat stone sympathizes with the
Macedonian committee and herself
agreed to the kidnaping so that ran
som could be paid to the committee,
Comment upon this story is quite su
perfluous.”
“Four thousand Bulgarian and Turk
j s jj troops have been occupied in the
e ff or t to obtain Miss Stone’s release,
s(1 y g a dispatch from Sofia to The
Morning Leader. “It is believed here
that her release would have been ef
f ec ted but for Mr. Dickinson’s refusal
0 ffer her captors more than an or
dinary pour boire. Mr. Dickinson’s
extraordinary action is regarded as
suicidal. A large sum must be paid to
the brigands, as otherwise Miss
stone’s life will be sacrificed. If Mr.
Dickinson desires vengeance on the
brigands, the woman must be ran
sorae( ] fl rs t.”
The Vienna correspondent of The
Standard says:
“It may be regarded as convincing
proof that Bulgaria is shielding the
Macedonian committee and that the
Sofia correspondents of several papers
were correct when declaring that Ma
cedonians disguised as Turks had kid
naped Miss Stone and that a regular
game, is being played by Bulgarian
troops on one side and Turkish troops
on the other side of the frontier, each
side trying to smuggle prisoners over
the border in order that the ransom
paid by sentimental Americans may
be recovered as the Bulgarians wish
from Turkey, and as the Turks wish,
from Bulgaria, and that some prison
ers, but for this farce, could be pro
duced at any moment. The right
course now is not to pay ransom, but
to hold Bulgaria responeible for every
hair of Miss Stone’s head. Those who
know the facts see no reason to antici
pate any danger to her life.”

Tho people of Birmingham, Ala., are

also disgusted with Washington.
White Alabamians believed Washing

the invitation. Congressman Bowie -

false notions of social equality into the
heads of the southern negroes, which
will prove unwholesome. Adjutant
General Brandon says Roosevelt has
ruined the best negro in Alabama. For
mer Congressman Shelley says he
thought Washington had better sense.
Judge Dan Green says it’s an ill omen
for the soma under Roosevelt’s admin
istration. Secretary of State McDa

that he Is either a ruffian or devoid of

law of nature that we must use or

waves of the music, rolling with tre
mendous volume from the shell, kept
out the flies. The insects could not
fly against the waves, though they
tried hard. Hundreds of them were
struggling frantically to reach the
shell, but they might as well have
tried to fly against a tornado as
against those sound ivaves. Thus pro
tected, inclosed by a magic curtain
made of their own music, the musi
cians played Wagner, unannoyed by
the sticky and pestering flies.”—Phila

Watering-Pot For the Babies.
Passengers on a Third avenue ele
vated train on one of the recent hot
days saw how one tenement house
mother kept her babies well and, per
haps, comfortable. She watered them
like plants.
There were two babies and they
were sprawling on a piece of straw
matting on the Are escape balcony.
If they had clothes on that fact was
aot noticeable from tbe car windows.
As the train went by the mother
was leaning out over the fire escape
giving her children a shower bath
from an old fashioned watering pot

I verily believe that most of the doc

less suffering I know.”—L aura How
