Sees Only 400 Votes For President Taft, Does Ex-Judge Who Giv's Careful Analysis of the Facts and Sentiments Which Lead Him to Make Prediction of Sweeping Victory. Ex-Judge Charles H. Duell, who has been in many presidential campaigns and who is chairman of the Roosevelt committee of New York, made the following statement a few days ago: "Having established somewhat of a reputation for correct political forecasts, I have thus far refrained from making any predictions as to the Republican nominee for president. It is a matter of public record that in the spring of 1896 I predicted the nomination of McKinley and in the early summer gave out a statement showing the number of electoral votes he would receive and from what states. November proved this to be substantially correct. In 1900 my published prediction as to the number of electoral votes President McKinley would receive varied but little from the actual result. In the spring of 1904 I predicted the nomination of Roosevelt and stated that he would receive 317 electoral votes against any Democrat who might be named. He received 314 of the votes stated, together with the vote of Missouri and one vote from Maryland. In 1908 I predicted that Mr. Taft would receive 322 electoral votes. As a matter of fact he received 323. In every instance I gave my reasons for my conclusions. "For many months I have carefully observed the outlook and during the past two months have carefully gone over the conditions existing throughout the United States and from time to time have revised my estimates of the probable outcome of the Chicago convention. "Not as an officer of any political committee, but as an individual, I am clearly of the opinion and willing to risk my reputation as a forecaster upon the prediction that Colonel Roosevelt will have at the least 600 delegates on the first ballot in the Calicago convention. This number is irrespective of how the national committee may decide the contests that will come before it. Should that committee use "steam roller methods" in deciding the cases coming before it the convention will have an anti-Taft vote of at least 650, which will be sufficient to correct any unfair decisions of that committee. In my opinion, Mr. Taft's friends will not have more than 400 votes upon any test question. These reasons lead me to my conclusions: "First—A careful review of the prevailing conditions of political thought and, as I believe, a correct understanding of the wishes of a large majority of the Republican voters, coupled with a somewhat intimate knowledge of the real preference of many of the delegates now claimed for Mr. Taft. "Second—Far and above everything else, however, is the wonderful hold that Theodore Roosevelt has upon the park and file of our voters through their conviction that everything for which he stands looks to theetterment of our conditions. "Third—The determination of a large majority of the voters to smash the party machinations, which, almost without exception, oppose Roosevelt's remination. "Fourth—The reaction in favor of Roosevelt which results from the bitter opposition from the press—Democratic and Republican—in substantially all of the large cities of the country. "Fifth—The unpopularity of the 'big lawyers' as political leaders. Whether it be just or otherwise, the average man doubts the sincerity of the legal defenders of special privileges and is unwilling to trust them as the guardians of its rights. "Sixth—The results of primaries and conventions in the chain of states extending from ocean to ocean, including Maine, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois, Nebraska and Oregon. The result in these states shows that he demand for Roosevelt's nomination is not confined to any locality. "Seventh—The desire of the average politician to be on the winning side.

THE Graduates and Friends IN LARGE NUMBER ATTEND FI NAL EXERCISES OF NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL Baccalaureate Sermon Was an Inspiring Message Full of Optimism and Boys Ply Thi in Trade for the Benefit of Visitors for Half Hour White Plant is in Full Operation. Greensboro, N. C., June 3.—The finals of the North Carolina State A. M. College for the colored race, this city, Dr. Jas. B. Dudley, president, attracted an unprecedented large number of former graduates and visitors to this city last week. The events beginning May 26 through to the 30th were the most interesting in the annals of this well-known institution. The year's work of the college with the glowing results attained through its able president and efficient faculty maintains its reputation of being the leading state agricultural and mechanical college for Negroes. The baccalaureate sermon delivered by Rev. J. Clyde Turner, pastor of the First Baptist church, white, this city, was an inspiring message full of optimism. His subject was "Life's little Things." Sunday evening at 8:30 o'clock the annual sermon of the Y. M. C. A. was delivered by Rev. E. L. Madison. Monday night the annual address to the Agricultural Literary Society was delivered by Hon. P. C. Walker, of Gloucester county, Va. "Public education in the South," was the subject of his address. He discussed the manner in which the Negro can better his condition, and at the same time become a wholesome factor in the community. He exclaimed that the most important agency, in educational problems, to be employed is the teacher. Continuing he declared "these men and women must be consecrated men and women. The Negro must prepare himself to become an important element in business." Revealing some of the educational exigencies of today he said: "The need of industrial training in the public school is no longer a question. To change in the best possible way the condition of the Negro, he must be given a practical knowledge of life. This can be only given through a systematic training which will make producers and altogether consumers. That race which will produce through industrial skill the world's needs, becomes independent? The speaker as he continued to cite fact after fact, became forceful and held his audience with close attention. Among the many strong utterances he especially emphasized the need of the Negro to cooperate with the school authorities as the Negroes are doing in Virginia by raising special contributions for the maintenance of public schools and increasing their efficiency among his race. "I am not of those who want to get you away from here, but I want to keep you here," said the Hon. A. L. Brooks, the solicitor for this county, in addressing the Mechanical Literary Society Tuesday night on the subject: "The Negro's Relations to the South." He said that the criminal element of Negroes was not an index to the character of thousands of respectable Negroes in North Carolina. He spoke of the excellent work being done by this college. He cited with emphasis the excellent possibilities for the Negro in this State and exclaimed that if the Negro would use common sense that within 50 years he would own half of the real estate in North Carolina. After the program for the evening was rendered, hundreds of people visited the various shops. The boys actually applied their trades for the benefit of the visitors during the half hour the entire plant was in operation. Wednesday night an industrial drama by Mrs. Jas. B. Dudley, was a strong attraction. The drama strongly revealed the Negro's progress in such spheres as the institution prepares the young men for a life of service. "The Making of Man," was the subject of an inspiring address delivered by Dr. Kendric C. Babcock, specialist in higher education. Unibed States Bureau of Education, on the commencement day.

He'd at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama, August, 1912. The indications are that all roads will lead to Tuskegee Institute in August of this year. From several sections of the country advice comes to us to the effect that arrangements are being made for special parties. Clubs are forming, for the purpose of taking the best advantage of rates and convenience of travel. It is generally conceded that the coming meeting will be the best attended the Association has ever witnessed. Arrangements are being perfected to comfortably and pleasantly care for all who come. Physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and members of their families and friends are earnestly requested to attend. Features of interest to heads of schools, ministers, teachers, and other representative leaders will be presented. They are cordially invited to come. Tuskegee Institute is fast becoming a "Convention City." We are accustomed to handling big crowds. From all parts of the world visitors come to Tuskegee to see what we are doing, and to study our educational methods. The International Conference just closed representatives from some 20 different nations or their colonies. Do you believe we can interest you? Come and see. The campus with its beautiful flowers, shrubbery and shade trees, buildings, chert roads and extensive fields of growing crops furnish a veritable picorama of beauty. Of special interest to members of the profession will be the scientific program, which will contain papers and addresses by some of the leading lights in medicine. The U. S. Public Health and Marine Hospital service will be represented. Dr. W. A. Warfield the skilful surgeon-in-chief of Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., will deliver the oration on Surgery. The side attraction will be such as to satisfy the most skeptical. We have arranged to entertain all of the delegates and, visitors on this occasion at the nominal and uniform rate of $1.00 per day. Those intending to come will kindly advise the Chairman of the Local Committee, and arrangements will be made. J. A. KENNEY, Chairman Local Committee. ADVOCATE. CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1912 CONTINUED ON PAGE TW If City Council Acts Favorably on Ordinance Giving Colored Promoters Right to Direct Play House^c, Operations Will Begin Soon. Baltimore, June 5.—If the mayor and City Council act favorably upon an ordinance giving Alfred Pitts, Cornellous H. Jones and Alfred J. Nixon the right to erect a $20,000 theater on the lot at 1$29-$31 Pennsylvania avenue, Baltimore colored residents will have as excellent theatrical facilities as any city in the country possesses. The three gentlemen are successful business men of the race, and purpose erecting a structure that will seat 1,000 persons. Another man of the race, William H. Daly, has recently secured a large piece of property on Pennsylvania avenue, which he is using as a hotel and restaurant. On the vacant lot adjoining the building he is erecting a lobby that will enter into a palm garden where moving pictures will delight the patrons. Mr. Daly is already running a vaudeville and motion picture house within two squares of the newly-acquired location. Besides these ventures he is also engaged in the meat business and runs a jewelry repair shop. The annual memorial services of local lodges of the Knights of Pythias were held Sunday at Bethel church. The Rev. A. L. Galanes preached the memorial sermon. Grand Chancellor George A. Watty presided. The annual session of the Colored Baptist State Convention began today at Wayland Baptist church, Rev. W. J. Winston pastor. As the result of the "stringing up" of three colored prisoners at the Maryland Penitentiary, the contract system of labor of the institution and the methods of punishing the prisoners may be investigated. Many of the old men and women of the city were taken in carriages to Sharp Street Memorial church Sunday, where after listening to a special sermon by the Rev. M. J. Naylor, they were entertained at dinner. Wallace L. Smith has been granted a hotel license for the property at 435-37 1/2 Druld Hill avenue. Mrs. Martha Gans Dabney, widow of the late Joseph Gans, one for the Goldfield Hotel. Mr. Smith's property is now undergoing extensive renovation. Mrs. S. B. Holmes is attending the commencement exercises at Storer College, Harper's Ferry, W. Va. Sh and her husband, the Rev. John A. Holmes, were graduated therefrom in 1872. Mr. John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger, who has been touring the east since the last of April, is expected to leave this week. MORGAN WOULD AID FISK Offers $25,000 to University, if it Raises Balance of Fund Needed. The trustees in New York of Fisk University, a school for training colored teachers at Nashville, Tenn., have received a letter from J. Pierpont Morgan, notifying them that he will subscribe the last $25,000 of the fund which the school must raise to meet the conditions of a gift of $60,000 from the General Education Board. Fisk University is seeking to raise a fund of $560,000. The General Education Board agreed to give $60,000 when $440,000 has been raised. The New York trustees of Fisk University stated recently that the time limit on the conditional gift of $60,000 expires on Saturday of this week, and the university is at this time $137,000 short of the amount it must raise. Many of the gifts are contingent upon raising the entire amount, and the university may lose most of the $500,000 unless the $137,000 is donated by Saturday. JOOKEY ON TEN BROECK Cincinnati, June 3—John Samples, a colored patrolman of this city, died yesterday at his home on Preston street. Samples many years ago was a noted race rider in this country, and rode Ten Broeck when that famous horse defeated Mollie McCarthy in the memorable match race at Louisville, July 4, 1873. Samples has been a member of the Cincinnati police force for 23 years. Garnett Graduates Greeted by a Large Audience Friday Night When They Present Class Play. Closing Exercises at Garnett School Disappointing to Many on Account of Failure of Speaker to Appear. Much interest was manifested in the class play given at Garnett School on the evening of May 31st. The title of the play was "Graduation at Wood Hill School," seventeen students forming the cast of characters. Most of the participants entered into the spirit of the play with vim and ease, making it seem very natural and causing thereby a very creditable rendition of the whole affair. A full audience greeted the occasion and a large interest was in evidence such as is usually shown in exercises of this character. Two rather amusing features in the play were that of Joshua Brogg, president of the school board who forgot his manuscript and returning home, could not find it. This disappointment left him unprepared and confused and caused him considerable embarrassment when called upon to address the graduating class. The other, that of Hiram A. Pryor, an inquisitive trustee, who displayed a special characteristic in technicality and doubt of the correctness of the answers given by the students to the questions propounded to them; and as the man from Missouri required the examiner to "show me" before he would be convinced that the answers were correct. Following is the cast of characters: Horatio Elihu Jones (Chas. Payne) —A Simple Soul. J. Pepper Jones (Fred Wanzer)—At Odds with the World. Miss Emily Jones (Irene Jackson)—The Tie that Binds. Miss Alice Maywood (Lillian Alexander)—A Village Belle. Miss Flora Oldberry (Virginia Smith)—Who should have been picked long ago. Adelbert Rensellaer (Edward Wells)—A Gentleman of Fashion. Si Green (Julius Thomas)—A Grocer's Clerk. Miss Anny Lee (Maurice Brown). Miss Nelle Green (Kanawha Boyd)—Representing Good Cheer. Mr. Joshua Brogg (Roy Edwards)—President of School Board. Miss Eva Smart (Mattie Martin)—Destined to be Famous. Miss Flossie Bright (Cecil Miller)—A Forward Graduate. Mr. Abner Shuck (Russel Hawkins)—A Very Backward One. Mr. Hiram A. Pryor (Eugene Moss)—An Inquisitive Trustee. Miss Fanny Marks (Maurice Brown)—A Director of Youth. Miss Maria Brogg (Kanawha Boyd)—The Object of Youthful Affection. Mr. Ira Lowe (Verner Winstan)—Champion Bass Singer of Wood Hill Students. STATE RATIFICATION STATE RATIFICATION Delegates from every county in the State have been selected to attend the State Convention of the Ratification Federation, which will be held in Clarksburg, June 11th, 12th and 13th. This convention is in the interests of the campaign for the ratification of the Prohibition Amendment and is non-partisan in its character. The Prohibition Party has nothing to do with the Convention any more than the Democratic or Republican party. It will be composed of delegates representing all shades of political belief. The program will be an exceptionally strong one. The famous Judge A. Z. Blair, of Adams county, Ohio, fame and Wayne B. Wheeler, president of the Ohio Anti-Saloca League, will make addresses. Mr. John B. Lennon, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, will be present and address the convention. Some of West Virginia's most famous men will participate in the convention affairs, among whom are President Thomas E. Hodges and D. B. Purinton of the State University. Judge J. C. McWhorter, Ex-Judge J. Frank Cox and the Hon. Harvey W. Harmer. While hundreds of delegates will be sent to the convention, arrangements have been made to seat anyone in attendance with full rights to participate. --- Burrell Acguitted on His Second Trial Former Secretary of the True Reformers is Clfured of Complicity in Wrecking Organization. Richmond, Va., June 5.—With the acquittal a few days ago of William P. Burrell, former secretary of the Grand Fountain of True Reformers of the charge of alleged receiving deposits in the True Reformers' Bank when he knew that the institution was insolvent, it is expected that the remaining indicted officials will also go free. Others under indictment are: Former Master W. L. Taylor, Edward Ellis and J. C. Robertson. The first trial of Mr. Burrell took place in the Hustings Court a month ago, and the jury could not agree upon a verdict. Attorney H. M. Smith and R. Evelyn Byrd, who represented Mr. Burrell, made a hard fight for their client's acquittal, and it has been frequently predicted that the fate of the others who had been indicted for alleged complicity in the wrecking of the order and its bank would depend largely on the outcome of the Burrell case. Lincoln University Sends Out Graduates Pennsylvania Institution Gives Diplomas to a Large Class Among Whom is a West Indian Who Gets High Honors. --- Lincoln University, June 5.—In the presence of a large number of the alumni and visitors, the annual commencement exercises of Lincoln University were held here yesterday (Tuesday).

Rendall, president of the university, preached the baccalaureate sermon Sunday. Ernest Oliver Berry and Joseph St. Clair Price were graduated magna cum laude.

The musical program contains a syllabus for the Bible Conferences which was especially arranged for this occasion. Sunday School experts from every part of the world are participating in the meeting.

Woe report one of his addresses, on “Pentecostal Bless. ings,” from — the text, “The grace of God which bring eth salvation hath appeared for al men.” (Titus 11 1). He sald tt ca eee 7 part: As Bible students we find it more ‘and more necessary to study the Scrip- tures diseriminatingly. . Rightoousness ‘and Justice represent'the Divine Law, “the!Law of the Universe. On the oth- er hand, such words as Merey and Grace recognize. man's fall from right- cousness and tell us of the Divine sym- pathetle provision being exercised to- ward mankind with a view to their deliverance from thelr unrighteous condition—the opentng’ of a way for thelr return to perfection and harmo- ny with God, and to eternal life priv- Sleges of righteousness, very suggestion and arrangement looking toward Divine merey is Serip- turally assoclated with our Lord Jesus =the world’s Redeemer. His death provides the ransom-price for Adam and his race, while His Messtante Kingdom {s provided as the means or channel by and through which the willing and obedient of the redeemed will be brought back to perfection and made able again to fulfill the require: ments of Justice andenjoy Its blessings. Hence we find the Scriptures contin. ually setting before us the high stand. ard of Divine Justice, and also setting before us the fact that Divine Love has provided mercy for the sinner through the efficacy of the Redeemer’s work. For centuries God exhibited the principles of Divine Justice, not only in His Law which He gave to Israel— the measure ofa pertac man's ability —but also in the fact that Christ ated, “the Just for the unjust." that He might bring us back into harmony with God and His righteousness. Hitherto, however, God's people have unwittingly narrowed down the grace of God and minimized the. work of Christ and the efficacy of His redemp. tive sacrifice by asserting that all of the blessings are for the Church and none for the world—that they are for the present Age, and that with its con- summation all hope will expire, and the world, the non-elect, will suffer to all eternity without ever having tast- ed of the grace of God in Christ—with. ‘out ever having come to even a know!- edge of that provision for sinners. Two Salvations—Two Pentecosts. A more careful study of the Bible is revealing to God's people all over the world the fact that Ho has for Mankind two distinct saivations—one for the Church and the other for the world—and each of these salvations 4s introduced by a Pentecostal blessing. ‘Phat the Church is merery a first-fruits unta God of His creatures is distinctly stated by St. James (i, 18), and this certainly Implies that there will be ufter-fruits—the world in general. Note the Apostie’s statement respect. ing the meritorious value, the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice, both for the Chureb and for the world; he says “Ite ts n Propitiation for our’sins (the Church), and vot for ours only, but also for the sing of the whole wortd.” ( Jotn ti, 2), The Chureh ts the elect “first-fruits,” or as St. Paul declares, “rhe Chureh of the First-born, whose nates ave written in heaven.” ‘Througl this elect Church eventually the bless ing of God is to be extended to all the willing and obedient of the non-elect. ‘This does not mean that all mankind will atfalo salvation, everiasting life Int ft does mean that to all will come the opportunity for escape from the curse of sin and death which came upon all through Father Adam's sin. Neither does it signify that ‘all whe kain Ife will gain the eame kind of salvation—that all will gain everlasting life on the same plane of glory. Quite to the contrary, ‘The fact that the eiect Church ts called and tested tn advance of the world implies that her salvation will be op a higher plang than that of the world, and this the Apostle clearly states when he assures tis, “We must all be changed," be case “flesh and blood eannot inherit the Kingdom of God." ‘The change of nature from earthly to heavenly, from the human to the divine, is a part of the superior bless Ing provided by the Lord for those who now walk by faith In the foot steps of the Redeemer. ‘The blessings to the world. on the other hand, wil not inelnde a change of nature, but 1 restitution or restoration of the willing and obediens to human perfection, such aa Adam enjoyed before he sinned. be fore he came ander the curse.

It came at-tho: beginning of the Church's ‘experience, jand represents.

Hence we are not (to expect fresh Pen- tecosts:upon thesChurch, but merely to expect to enter ato and enjoy our share of the one outtpouring of the Holy Spirit, which, like the oil poured upon Aaron's head,'and, which-ran. down to the skirts of his garment, will anoint us, the Church, down to the “fect,” to the very last member of the Church. Many of us had not noticed until re- cently that two Pentecostal blessings are mentioned hy the Prophet. Our overlooking this was doubtless because it was not.due time for .it to be clearly understood. Now, as the time nears for the fulfilment of the second Pente- costal blessing, the sforce and meaning of the Scripture shine out. Another reason for its being overlooked 1s that by’ Divine ‘arrangement the world’s Pentecost was mentioned first, and that of the Church last. Butt even this is appropriate, because the Divine inten- tion was primarily the world’s salya- tion, and that of the Chmrch comes in- eidentally. “God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” But before making known the riches of His grace to the world, God has been pleased to foreordain the election of the Church, to be joint-heirs with Jesus in the glorious work of blessing earth's teeming mil¥ons. Notice How the Text Reade: “It shall come to pass, saith the Lord, af the end of those days, that 1 will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, * * * nnd 4m those days I will pout out My Spirit upon My servants and upon My bandmaidens.”—Joel ii, 28 29; Acts ii, i. 1 -St.-Peter,“in quoting tt@*prophecy, properly applied only the portion which was due in his day, namely, that por. tion applicable to the servants and handmaidens of the Lord—the Church class. He left "without comment: the major portion of the promise, which re. lates to the world, and which cannot have fulfilment until the elect Church shall have been completed and glori fied, The two features of the prophecy are distinctly marked, the one blessing to be upon God’s servants and hand- maidens only, the other to be upon all flesh. ‘Tho one was to be “in those days,” the other, “after those days.” How strange that this was previously overlooked, you say? We reply, It is not more strange than that the Jews and the Apostles themselyés overlook. ed many statements of prophecy which indicated the ending of Jewish favor and the beginning of a glorious oppor: tunity of joint-beirship with Christ to the Gentiles. That part of the proph- '{ ecy was discerned only when the ‘due time came, and so this feature of Joel's { prophecy pertaining to the blessing of the world and the outpouring of God's | Spirit upon them passed unnoticed un. '| til now, as tho time nears for its fulfil: ment. " There can be no question that the Holy Spirit of God has not yet eome upon all flesh, nor can it be questioned | that it has come during this Age upon God's servants and handmaldens. ‘Che promise therefore is amongst the bless- ings that are to be accomplished after these days—nfter the completion of the ‘| Church and her glorification, ; Jubilee Day—Jubilee Year. ‘The day of Pentecost was the grand | Jubilee Day in which God's blessing was attained marking the forgiveness |; of sin and the acceptance by the heay- | only Father. It was the 50th day (7x |] 7 plus 1). Every Jewish Sabbath point- /] ed directly to this Jubilee Day as the }| culmination of the Sabbath day sys- tem. It was thus the antitype toward ' which all Sabbath days pointed.

Tt was in the spirit of this knowledge that this beautiful hymn was written: “Blow yo the trumpet, blow ‘Tho gladly solemn sound; Let ail tho nations know, Le | “To earth's remotest bound: # | Tho Year of Jubilee has come, | Returning ransomed sinners home, | “*¥o who were sold for naughty j ‘Whose heritazo was lost, f ‘May have it back unbought, Bets ' Agitt at Josus’ cost: ‘Tho Year of Jubileo 1s come, | Returning ransomed sinners home” ‘ ‘As the Church has been, for more than eighteen centuries, enjoying the blessings and privileges typified by the fiftieth, or Jubilee Day,-so the world for a thousand years will enjoy tho blessings and privileges typified by the Jubliee Year. But let us not be mis- understood; the Millennial blessings will not be forced upon all men. Rath- er, they will be exhibited to all, and the eyes of the blind of the world will be opened and all will thus be privi- leged to know of, to appreciate and to enter Into the enjoyment of the Jubl- lee blessings. But those desiring to share in the world’s Péntecostal bless- ings will be required to take the nec- essary steps to attain them; but with the clear knowledge then granted the Bible dectares that those steps will be. “The Desire of All Nations.” Note the correspondency between the coming of the Pentecostal blessings to the Church and the world’s attain- | ment of its Pentecostal blessings. God did not pour out His Holy Spirit upon [itis servants and handmaidens all at once, but gradually throughout this Age. ‘And each individual, In order to obtain his share in this Pentecostal blessing, has been obliged to take very @efinite steps of consecration, vows of obedience and loyalty. Just so the pouring out of the Divine blessing {rood dane ‘darivg “tie, thousand yenrs of Christ’s reign will be gradual | In order for the children of men to obtain that great blessing, it gill be nocessary "for them first of all to ree- ognize the Redeemer, the Savior, the great King of that time. Moreover, it will be necessary to fully surrender themselves to Him, and to come under the terms of His blessings, Only such will be fully liberated and be received of God as children upon the human plane. ‘Thus it Is written, “Ho that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son shall not see life.” | The work of setting the world free ‘from sin and death will be a gradual ‘one. Collectively it will be gradual, because the resurrection of the dead fs to be a gradual work; as the Apostle declares, all will come forth, but jevery man in his own order.” (J | Corinthians xv, 23.) It will be a grad- ‘ual work because, although the Mes: ‘sianic Kingdom first offers satisfaction to Justice for all, at the very begin: ning of the Kingdom, nevertheless re lease will be granted only in propor. ‘tlon as loyalty 1s demonstrated to the | principles of rigMteousness and trath. Nevertheless their full attainment of the Heavenly benediction—their full ; acceptance of life eternal—will not {come to them until the close of the | thousand years. ‘Then, after having ‘been lifted up to perfection by the ‘great Mediatorial King and Messiah after having been taught of Him, after ‘having enjoyed the full privilege se ‘cured by His Ransom snerifice, they will still be required to stand a fur ther test before receiving a Divine pro. nouncement respecting their worthi ness of eternal life as sons in the flesh | ‘Ghat testing Is pictured to us in Revelation 20, in the statement that | “Satan shall be loosed for a little sea. { Son” at the end of the thousand years, ; that the loyally or distoyaity of heart ,of all the human family then brought back to human perfection may be | tried, tested, proved, demonstrated. j Such as shall prove themselves loyal to God at heart will stand in that hout ‘of temptation, and all who prove dis. j loyal will be but showing that if they had opportunity they would resume the Ife of sin and disloyalty to God: and such—we know not the proportior will be destroyed in the Second Death, ‘The testings of the faithful, both In ) this age and In the next, are designed , of the Lord to be so crucial, to 80 thor. | oughly demonstrate the thoughts and Intents of the heart, that Divine Wis: dom 18 able to guarantee that those who will pass these tests will bo for. ever loyal.

Makes a Fine Report Board of Trustees Receive His Resignation Accompanied With a Report Covering Work of All Departments Which Show Rapid Expansion of University. President Thurkield's Return Washington, D. C., June 7 Bishop Wilbur D. Patterson Thurkield returned to the city last Friday and was given a royal welcome by the faculty and students body of Howard University, as well as by the community at large all of whom rejoice over the deserved promotion that has come to him at the hands of the Methodist Episcopal church. His appearance in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel was the signal for a injunction At the meeting of the Board of Trustees of Howard University last Saturday, Dr. Thirkield presented his resignation as president, to take effect on or before June 10. At the unanimous and earnest solicitation of the Board, he consented to serve the larger interests of the University until June 28. On this date an adjourned meeting of the Board will be held, at which time it is hoped to elect his successor. A committee made up of Chief Justice Stanton J, Pelee, of the Court of Claims, Dr. Thirkield, Rev. Charles H. Richards, Dr. Mareus F. Wheatland, Rev. J. E. Moorland, Dr. John F. Francis and John T. Emilen, was designated to look over the field and nominate a president, reporting at the meeting on the 28th. Justice Job Barnard, president of the Board, presided at the session Saturday. The following trustees were present: Rev. A. F. Beard, New York City; Rev. Charles Wood, Judge G. W. Atkinson, Chief Justice Peelle, Dr John R. Francis, Rev. Dr. Richards, of New York City; Justice Barnard, Rev. Francis J. Grinke William V. Cox, Henry E. Pellew Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner of Philadelphia, Dr. J. H. N. Waring, Rev. Dr. Moorland, J. C. Napier, Dr. Charles B. Purvis, of Brookline, Mass. John T. Emilen of Philadelphia, Dr. Wheatland, of Newport, R. L, and Dr. Thirkield President Thickfield's Fine Report. The report of President Thickfield covered all departments in the University, and included the detailed reports from the deans of the College of Arts and Science. "TAILO IS BECAUSE it to the Teacher's College, the Schools of Theology, Law and Medicine and also the Academy and Commercial College. Rapid expansion of the University, involving extraordinary expense with enlargement of the teaching force and in repairs of buildings, brought about a deficit of $2,000, which will be made up next year. Secretary G. W. Cook reported the buildings and grounds to be in better condition than at any previous period in the history of the school. Resolutions were unanimously adopted expressing deep regret over the loss of Dr. Thirkield as the directing head of the institution and voicing hearty congratulation upon the wider field of activity and influence that his selection as Bishop opens to him. As a further mark of the regard in which he is held by the trustees, the new science hall, construction of which was made possible by his energies, was named "Thirkield Hall." The petition proposing the name was signed by the seven deans and the entire faculty of the University. The great work of Dr. Tairkield in the six years of his administration was highly extolled. To fill vacancies on the Board of Trustees the following new trustees were elected: Walter H. Page, editor of The World's Work, and Henry A. Hubbard, treasurer of the American Missionary Association, New York City. Howard's Presidency and the Board of Education. With Howard's Presidency vacant and a possible vacancy on the Board of Education, there are candidates galore among the national patrons of education. Last week we noted the consideration of the names of Kelly Miller, George W. Cook, L. N. Moore, W. V. Tunnell, E. L. Parks, Judge Terrell, Prof. DuBois and Rosecoe Conkling Bruce for the Howard presidency. To this list may be added Dr. E. J. Grimke, although he is said to have indicated a preference for remaining as pastor of the 15th Street Proshyterian church; Dr. Pezavia O'Connell, professor of Hebrew in the University; and Dr. J. E. Shepard, the head of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C. There is a unity of feeling that a colored man should succeed Dr. Thirkield, if the right man can only be found and agreed upon. The three years' term of Prof. W. V. Tunnell as a member of the local Board of Education expires June 30. He is a candidate for reappointment. If a change is to be made, however, it is understood that Henry C. Tyson, a substantial man of attains, William L. Houston former grandmaster of the G. U. O. of O. F., a practicing lawyer of fine attainments, and Dr. C. W. Childs, a physician of broad public spirit, are suggested as suitable material. The selection is made by the Justices of the District Supreme Court and the matter is likely to be closed up at any dafe. "Loving Cup" for Dr. C. Summer Werny With sincere regret the country learns of the resignation of Dr.-C. Summer Wormley as Superintendent of the Dental Department of the Medical School of Howard University, official announcement of which has just been made. He has found it necessary to retire from the faculty of this historic institution at this time because of the insistent demands of his growing private practice. For eleven years he has rendered capable and efficient service as head of Howard's Dental Infirmary, and no instructor has given a higher degree of satisfaction nor developed a grear to his, goes without saying. Dr. Wormley took hold of the dental department of the University in 1901, at the earnest solicitation of Dr. F. J. Shaddl. From a mere shell of an organization, he has built it up so thoroughly that today it is one of the most important branches of the medical school and its graduates are found prospering in every state in the Union. Last year alone, over $2,500 was spent in improvements, materials and equipment. This year's enrollment is over 100, and the graduating class numbers 34, the largest in the history of the school. The department now has twenty-two dental chairs and is turning out first class work. Dr. Wormley prepared the dental exhibit of Howard, which attracted international attention at the Institute of Dental Pedagogues, held not long ago in Toronto, Canada. He is actively identified with the National Medical Association and has read some able papers before the annual session of that body. He was one of the founders of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Society of Washington and served two terms as its president, and is likewise treasurer of the famous Mu-So-Lit Club of the nation's capital. Dr. Wormley is a baritone vocalist of acknowledged ability, ranking with Harry T. Burleigh in voice-timbre and intellectual grasp, interpreting with ease the most difficult compositions of the old master. He is equally at home in productions of the more popular type, and is especially in the rendition of sacred music. His services are in constant demand for concerts of the higher grade and upon occasions of special note among the churches, schools, clubs and society. As a means of varying his professional duties, Dr. Wormley, yielding to the urgent solicitation of friends, has consented to accept a number of concert engagements during the current season, filling them as his dental obligations will permit. His heart is in music, and the country will hear more of him in the arena of song, now that he has surrendered the exacting responsibilities at the Howard University Medical School. Last Friday, at their weekly meeting and social session, the senior dental class presented Dr. Wormley a massive silver loving cup, as a testimonial of their affection, and hearty appreciation of his constant and unselfish efforts to promote their welfare. The presentation speech was made by William H. Whitted, the president of the class, who paid a lofty tribute to the character and productive labors of the retiring "prexy." Dr. Wormley, with tears in his eyes, thanked the generous donors, and told in a most touching manner how he had tried to his utmost capacity to serve his alma mater, and how he had made the upbuilding of the dental department his "hobby." He pointed out to the class that success is measured by the amount of work done, and not by how much wealth is accumulated. "The final test of good citizenship," declared Dr. Wormley, "is service. Bring to bear, in your aim for this standard, all of your ambition, enterprise, soul-power and genius and you will make history that will live and redound to the glory of the race in the years that are to come." Lawyer Jones" "Complimentary Outing." The first big "down the river" outing was the family excursion THE ADVOCATE given today by Lawyer Thomas L. Jones to his many friends. Manager Lewis Jefferson placed the superb steamer, "The Angler," at Lawyer Jones' disposal, and fully 2,000 persons joined with the libical host on a 50-mile sail on the sparkling waters of the Potomac. A stop of an hour or so was made at Washington Park, where sightseeing, dancing and other amusements were indulged in. The day was ideal and everybody had "a corking good time." The committee assisting Mr. Jones in entertaining his guests was made up of P. M. Mitchell, chairman; Dr. E. D. Williston, Rev. J. L. Loving, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, Rev. E. E. Ricks, Rev. James E. Willis, Judge Hall, Rev. E. B. Gordon, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, John C. Dancy, L. M. King, James H. Hayes, R. W. Thompson, W. Calvin Chase, M. T. Clukseales, James Sewell, L. M. Hershaw and William Jones. The Shepard Ministerial Conference Final arrangements for the Ministerial Conference at Durham, N.C., have been made by Dr. James E. Shepard, and a goodly delegation of the representative clergyment of this vicinity will be in attendance. All delegates will be the guests of the National Religious Training School for the week, beginning July 6. The topics to be discussed have been widely advertised in the press of the country, and the scope they will cover is well known. The ablest speakers of both races will lead the discussions, and out of them is sure to come great good for the people of every section of the land. Every minister should be at Durham, July 6. Negroes Have Roddenbury's "Goat." Evidently, the Negroes of the country have Congressman Roddenbury's "goat." Not content with urging the dismissal of the great army of colored citizens now employed in the federal service, nor in opposing the granting of pensions to Negro soldiers, who fought for the preservation of the flag, this "cracker" from Georgia, foreshadowing the defeat of White Hope Flynn in the coming fight with Jack Johnson, has introduced a resolution in the House prohibiting the transportation of pictures or films of prize fights in interstate commerce. Figuring on a humiliation of his bourbon pride in New Mexico July 4, Roddenbury does not intend that the people shall be witnesses to it, in the form of moving pictures, if he can prevent it. Surely the progressive Negroes of the nation have "Marse" Roddenbury's "goat" for keeps. A "Battle Royal" at Chicago. Major Lynch at the Capitol. Major John R. Lynch, retired formerly paymaster in the regular army, has been spending some time in the city on business. A mild sensation was created the other day at the south end of the Capitol when Major Lynch appeared at the door of the House of Representatives and presented his card for admittance to the floor. The guardian of the portal did not know what to do, and a hurried consultation with Speaker Clark ensued. Major Lynch was finally admitted, somebody having recalled the fact that he had once been a member of the House, representing for a number of years the old "shoestring district" of Mississippi, and was, therefore, entitled to the privileges of the floor of the chamber. The Major hobnobbed for an hour or more with the older members, and to the younger set he was a decided novelty. Some of the bourbons from the South greeted him with darkened brow, and gave sighs of relief when he took his departure. One of the colored veterans of the House staff remarked: "I can't just realize that twenty-eight years ago this same man, Lynch, was temporary chairman of the Republican National convention. Times certainly have changed." The veteran shook his head sadly as the whitened locks of the former Mississippi leader disappeared in the bend of the corridor. For four years, under the Harrison administraton, Major Lynch was Auditor for the Navy Department, and Judge Robert H. Terrell was his deputy. Appropriations "Cut" by House Bill. The Sundry Civil Bill, reported to the House Monday by Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Committee on Appropriations, carries $6,000 for the Nurses' Home at Freedmen's Hospital, $32,000 for salaries and $26,000 for subsistence. Various appropriations desired for improvements were denied. Howard University fared no better. The committee refused to authorize the construction of a dormitory for men and an assembly hall, both of which have long been sorely needed. It is expected that the more liberal Senate will re-insert some of the very important items necessary to the well-being of these two useful institutions. Miss Jones's Triumphs in Buffalo. Miss Clarice Jones, daughter of Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, again seated a triumph in music. By special invitation of the Guild Club, of St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Buffalo, N. Y., Miss Jones took part in a musicale at ARE YOU WORKING FOR MONEY? OR IS YOUR MONEY WORKING FOR YOU? If you are working and saving your money and putting it in a bank where you get no interest, keeping it in a trunk or hiding it some where about your house—You Are Working for Money. If you are working and saving your money and investing it in a safe way, where it will be working day and night whether you are working or not, and making you at least six per cent. Interest—Your Money is Working For You. The Pythian Mutual Investment Association was organized in order to give us an opportunity to put the money we could save together and then put it to work. The above is a picture of our building on the Capitol Square in Charleston. We have just purchased a splendid three story brick building on one of the main business streets in the city of Huntington. The first door is occupied by the Huntington Herald, the largest daily newspaper published in that section of the state, the second floor is used for office rooms, while the third floor is a large assembly and lodge hall. This building is sure to pay us well. After the Charleston building had been occupied only eight months our stockholders were paid a dividend of six per cent. Stock is still on sale at $10.00 per share, either paid up or on the installment plan. Ask your agent in your locality about it or write to this office. a calamity. No class of citizens is watching the outcome with more anxiety than the colored republicans, North, East, South and West. Preferences they doubtless have, but they will stand by the winner of the Chicago "battle royal," and elect him in November. that place. She played three selections on the piano, and each of them was enthusiastically enced. She was the central figure of the splendid entertainment, and Buffalo is ringing with praise of her skill. Miss Jones graduates with honors this week from the Cornell University of Music at Ithaca, N. Y. Lawyer and Mrs. Jones have gone to Ithaca to witness the ceremonies. Miss Jones is to establish a conservatory of music here, for the instruction of the Negro in the higher types of music. A new race paper for Washington is talked of. An element of the Odd Fellows say Grand Master E. H. Morris is to put a finger into the Atlanta B. M. C. "pie," and may turn awry some of the plans so carefully mapped out by the field marshals who expect to dominate the situation. Register J. C. Napier, Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson made some effective speeches for President Taft in New Jersey. It was not their fault that the State did not go pell-mell for the distinguished Ohioan. The commencement of Howard University is in progress. "Some big time." Editor R. B. Montgomery, of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, Milwaukee, Wis., looked us over last week. H. Ernest Cuney, of New York City, is here, also enroute to Chicago. Mrs. Ida V. Smith, widow of the late Bishop J. W. Smith, was elected treasurer of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society at the recent Zion Conference at Charlotte, N. C. Testimonials are being planned in honor of Bishops Thirkield and Hurst. Prof. J. R. Hawkins, the newly elected financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, will be a welcome addition to the leadership of the national capital. "The Southern Smart Set," headed by Salem Tutt Whitney, Homer Tutt, Edward Tolliver, "Babe" Brown, Maybelle Brown, Nettie Taylor, Goldie Chappelle, Ethel Marshall and other Washington favorites, is at the Howard Theater this week in "The Mayor of New Town." The company has had a phenomenally successful season throughout the South and West. The S. H. Dudley Theater opened last Saturday, and gave three shows to packed houses. The premier comedian, S. H. Dudley, was here in person, to see that everything went off in apple-pie order. The colored democrats are to have a national caucus at Baltimore, June 25, 26 and 27. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Sidney Pittman last week at Fairmount Heights and left a seven-pound daughter. Everybody is happy. The Negro Business League is to be revived. A big delegation will go to the Chicago meeting in August. Care of Child's Eyesight. Don't let little children read at dusk or by dreadlight; read ill-printed books, nor one set in small type; have a light too near the eyes; the heat and glare being injurious; read too long at a time or stoop over a book. Bad positions in sitting are a fruitful source of curvature of the spine. Don't let them suffer from imperfect sight. At the first sign of trouble have the eyes attended to. Take the child to the best oculist you can afford. Woman's Beauty in History. We all know that beauty in woman holds a unique, preponderant and romantic place in the world's history; that it has plunged nations into war; that it has altered the map of the world; has given us some of the greatest masterpieces in every art, and that it is as changeable as fashion itself, as uncertain as the weather.—Roger de Chateleux. Iconoclasts. Now they say the game of golf originated in Holland. Oh, go on with the cruel work of despilation.

Seating Capacity of the Auditorium is Increased—the Big Drainage Proposition—Looking toward Panama THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1012. AT THE B LATEST BALCONY RES 5c. THE GREAT WEST Seating Capacity of Increased—the B osition—Looking Chicago, June 8.—The seating capacity of the great Coliseum in Chigao has been increased for the National Republican convention that will open on June 18th and which promises to be the most notable since Civil War times in the crowds assembled and in the keenness of the contest. There will be seats for 11,189 and for those who can clude the policemen there also are the trusses and girders where during conventions of less interest men have taken their chances with blue-coats and the law of gravitation to hear and see from lotty patches. The day that the building was turned over to Sergeant-at-Arms William F. Stone, hundreds of men were set to work under direction of an architect who had designed the seating arrangement and the work begun on the necessary changes and construction. Everything will be in readiness, it is said, by June 14th, with the windrows of seats filling the main floor and the balcony. The new arrangement makes provision for seating delegates and others as follows: Delegates seats 1,078 Alternate seats 1,079 Press seats 400 Guests, main floor 3,500 Guests, balcony 3,200 Platform 1,932 It is of peculiar interest that there will be witnessed the Roosevelt-Taft convention under the same roof as sheltered the convention four years ago, where Taft was the avowed candidate, of Roosevelt. Since that time many notable events have taken place in the Coliseum, national conventions and expositions that have attracted people, and wonderful exhibits from many lands including land shows which did much to stimulate the "back to the farm" movement, expositions of office supplies, automobiles, electrical devices and of many other things. Annually it has been the scene of another important event, the opening of the circus season where the new "turns" were put on to hold the small boy in perennial subjection. Whether Uncle Sam shall act with decision or merely temporize in checking the devastating river floods and in draining the overflowed areas was the theme of historic debate. During the conference in Chicago of the executive committee of the National-Drainage Congress which has tackled the big problem. The comprehensive plan embodied in the Newlands bill, the principles of which were endorsed by the Congress in April, has been advocated vigorously by several members of the committee but other members have held that beyond large expenditures for certain phases of the reclamation work the Drainage Congress had nothing to ask. Senator Newlands, whose bill provides the co-ordinated steps which would store up the surplus waters in freshet season, improve river transportation, check soil erosion and afford drainage of the greater areas of overflowed lands, stated his views vigorously, saying The great loss In lilyes and property and happiness caused by the floods in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys in April could have been prevented and a recurrence of such a catastrophe can be avoided. The United States Government should undertake the work. The control of the Mississippi river and its tributaries and the prevention of floods is a great work in which is needed the co-operation of the nation with the states. It is true drainage does not appear in the constitution, but words' regulation of interstate commerce' do appear and interstate commerce means navigation and navigation means river regulation and control from the very source to the mouth, including all the tributaries; and such river regulation and control logically means also the restrain of the flood waters as a destructive agency and their restraint with a view to turning them into a beneficial agency." The business horizon of Chicago is extending rapidly southward as one result of the Panama canal construction, several large delegations of manufacturers and merchants which went, to inspect the canal thus gaining a personal knowledge of business and social conditions in Pan-American countries that has quite changed the general attitude toward Latin America. The awakening has spurred both commerce and investments. The packing interests began investing in packing houses in Argentina several years ago and now their interests are enormous. The coffee and rubber exports of Brazil have attracted many millions to that country and recently Murdo Mackenzie, for years head of the American Stock Growers' association, bought and stocked an empire in Brazil. Now a syndicate from Chicago is going to build a new city, capital of one of the federated states of Brazil, and in the process are expected to profit enormously from the franchises and real estate operations. C. B. Holmes, formerly president of the Chicago City Railway Company and head of the syndicate has arranged with an expert real estate valuator, W. R. Holton of Chicago, and a mining expert to leave for Bazil to prepare estimates and reports upon which several thousand acres will be platted, graded and paved. The city is in the heart of the diamond district and it is said that, in the adjacent counties the known deposits of diamonds and other gems, amount to over $100,000,-000. Three railways, it is said, are now building to this terminus. In spite of the disturbed conditions in Mexico, it is said that there are more purchases than sales of Mexican properties, particularly in the southern states which are outside of the terrorized districts. American buyers of mahogany and other hard woods recently have made large investments in Central America. The Skyscraping Exhibition. As in the building line, limit after limit is supposed to have been reached, then surpassed and dwarfed so do Cody and Lillie keep adding story after story in another meaning, pantheominally, representing life stories, based on the firm foundation of solid facts of two subjects of human interest, the Wild West and Far East, retaining everything connected with the basic rock upon which each section of the exhibition is founded. This season, as usual, has been added some very appropriate connecting links to a chain of incidents through which both subjects are interpreted. The roster, of Native Peoples, Roughriders, Military, Haute Ecole aquestrians, identified with the Western section, with the different races tribes, clans and classes of Oriental peoples, is more complete than heretofore, being added to very extensively. Among the additions and changes of special interest may be mentioned a newly arranged arena, with colossal scenery to give effective illusion and local color, as well as a more perfect view ofthedifferent events. A few attractive numbers deserve allusion to. The size of the open-air arena, with no obstructions to action given opportunity for more dash, daring in execution of many numbers in then restricted stage, and otherwise encumbered arenas permit. Novelties this year, such as Gruber's Elephant Conjunctive Sexette in action, his marvelous horse "Excelior," pony "Peacock," mastift wonder "Cario;" the old-time cross-country fox hunt, with high-jumping hurdle horses, led by the peerless "Stayaway;" the six-horse dapple gray International horse show winners, in the fast stepping draft horse class; Fred Gerner, allround athletic feats, and other novelties, have a latitude for movement that allows them to revel in the height of rapid unchecked speed to the limit. Any one of these added numbers will repay a visit to skyscraping structure in the recreative line—the allied Wild West and Far East. Drills and Marches. Capt. Melton's Zouaves will be one of the most interesting factors in the Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Ptowne Bill's Far East entertainment when they bring their big organization to this city. The Zouaves will be seen in lightning drills and manual of arms, and will give a thrilling exhibition of wall-sealing. Other military features with the Wild West and Far East will be cavalry and artillery drills, tentpegging, charges, drills and general manoeuvers. Then, too, there will be stirring battle scenes and episodes in the Pioneer Days and Frontier Life. Charleston, June 17. Has Spent 53 Years in Pen for Murder of Young Wife Hartford, Cohn. June 10. Among the half-hundred petitions laid before the Connecticut board of pardons for consideration and action today was an application for the pardon of John Warren, who is sery, a life sentence in the state penitentiary at Wetlandsfield. Warren has the unenviable distinction of being the oldest convict in the United States in point of service. He had just attained his majority when he was received at the penitentiary to begin a life sentence for the murder of his young wife. Today he is an old man of seventy-four, with a record of fifty-three years spent behind prison walls. The state board of pardons is familiar with every detail of Warren's case. Seven times has the board considered a petition for the old man's release and seven times has the petition been turned down. Whether the eighth petition will meet with a similar fate will soon be known. Warren has been a model convict and it is safe to say that there is not an official or inmate of the state prison who would not be glad to learn that the old man would be released to spend his last years in freedom. THE WEATHER FOR MAY SHOWS MONTH WAS A REALLY PLEASANT ONE The monthly weather report, made out at the U. S. Engineer's office this city, gives the total precipitation for the month of May, as being 2.76 inches. The highest temperature during the month was 89 degrees, which was registered by the thermometer on the 28th, and the lowest was on the 13th, when 42 was registered. The average maximum temperature was 78.32 degrees, and the average minimum was 53.90 degrees. The temperatures as registered daily, are as follows: Hale Springs, enn. June 10- What promises to be the most momentous convention in the history of the International Printing Pressmen's Union is to be held here this week at the national home and head quarters of the organization.

Criticism is aimed particularly at President George L. Berry, and it is reported in some quarters that an attempt will be made in the convention to oust him from office. Friends of President Berry, however, declare that the reports of dissatisfaction are greatly exaggerated, and that there is little probability of any attempt to depose him from his position at the head of the union. WHY COLOR OF WALL AFFECTS THE VISION OF THE CHILD, TOLE In Exhibits by Bureau of Exhibits of the United States Washington, June 10—How to wash the air: why the color of the wall affects a child's vision; the "curve of learning;" and the operation of the aesthesiometer and erograph are among the exhibits to be made by the United States Bureau of Education at the first exhibition ever given America which deals with the general field of public health. The Bureau's exhibit will show the hygiene of the school and the school child, as part of the exhibition to be held before the Fifteenth International Congress on Hygiene and Demography, meeting in Washington next September. Among other advance information just given out, the Education bureau specialists who have the school hygiene exhibit in charge make the statement that one exhibit will show that stuttering is about three times as common among boys as among girls. The Bureau of Education's exhibit first of these considers the hygiene of the school child, taking up such subjects as food, sleep, and clothing. With the cooperation of school architects and makers of school furniture and school appliances from all over the country, the Bureau is also preparing exhaustive exhibits on the hygiene of the school building and the hygiene of instruction. Other sections of the school hy- one exhibit will take up the hygiene of physical defects, the medical inspection of school children and open air schools. Puffer at the Chamber of Commerce offices or from the architect, H. Rus Warne. Notification has been made to the grantors of the property to remove all encumbrances in the way of buildings not later than June 25th and it is expected that ground will be broken for the building not later than July 1st possibly before that time. Tentative plans are under way for some kind of a ceremony or celebration to commemorate the event and suggestions for this will be thankfully received by the secretary. The building will probably be completed by October 1st or at all events fifteen days later when it will be opened with suitable ceremonies. One proposition to produce a merchants and manufacturers exposition for the opening week has already been received by the company. MARY FIGURES ESULTS REACHED FEDERAL COURT IS HEARING CASE OF RURAL MAIL CARRIER Federal Court at press time was listening to the arguments for the defense in the case of U. S. vs. Oscar Parsons, charged with opening registered mail packages, extracting the valuables and converting them into cash. Lewis Parsons, a half brother of Oscar Parsons, and a rural mail carrier in Roan County, pleaded guilty last week to the same charge and implicated the present defendant. From the testimony in the case, Lewis would give to Oscar Parsons all the registered letters and packages and Oscar DIAMONDS combine three important quali- ties, all of which no other one thing possesses: 1 Beauty 2 Durability 3 Investment Value You can use them without decreasing their value.

Name in Missouri and Kansas Showing That Acquirement of Width is Matter of Tariff Rate Than Race. --- By the will of Mrs Alice A. Hicks nearly $360,000 was left to charitable and educational institutions. The New York Orphan Asylum is lost $10,000. C. S. A. Baker, a colored man of Detroit, Michigan, has sold his parent of a fictitious heater for street cars to a Canadian company for $160,000. Baker conducted his experiment on a street car in Detroit, Michigan. John Patrick, a chief gunnerate in the United States Navy, relicated on board the U.S. S. Franklin at a monthly rate of $10,000. Patrick is a Negro and has bad over twenty-s years' service. He will soon be eligible to fire on a handsome annuity. --- It is reported that Mr. Victor Le-Baton of Providence, K. L., has been intoxicated by administrators that he is here to a million dollars in France. He and his wife will soon take a trip to look after this wealth. Mr. Le-Baton was not excited by the wealth, as he already was the owner of considerable real estate in Providence, where he was the head of the Pasturizing Department of a Providence Daily Company. He was a cousin to the late Alexandre Dumas. Some Walthy Kansas City Negroes. The acquiring of wealth, after all, is a vast much a matter of face as of drift. This is shown in the story of fortunes acquired by some of the colored residents of Kansas City, Mo. Each, with possibly one exception, presents savings added to savings often in the smallest way, combined low and then with a fortunate invest- --- Daniel Lucas has acquired a competence out of a barber shop. He opened one of the first Turkish bath houses in Kansas City. One of the few Negro sanitariums West of the Mississippi river is owned by a Kansas City colored man, Dr. J. E. Pory, 1512 East Eighteenth street. His sanitarium is Twelfth and Vine streets is furnished with all the modern appointments and has more than twenty-five rooms. Prof. Grisham, principal of the Lincoln High School, is another teacher who has acquired a small fortune by thrift. He owns two flats at Howard and Flora avenues, besides considerable smaller property scattered over Kansas City. Professor Grisham saved out of his monthly envelope and invested wisely. While much of his fortune came from other sources, Mr. Leon Jordan perhaps is representative of the few successful Negro contractors. He takes each year sewer and grading contracts of some consequence and always has a large number of men in his employ. He is, also, interested in other business enterprises operated Several large flats over the city are owned by wealthy colored persons. Some are in white neighborhoods and are rented by white people. The leasing is done through real estate companies and the renters have no right that their landlord, the man who gets the monthly portion of the pay envelope eventually, is a Negro. Prof. J. Dallas Bowen is among the more successful colored professional men of Kansas City. He owns his home at 2323 Lydia avenue and, also, many other nice homes scattered throughout the city. His property practically is all in real estate, which is estimated at $100,000. Every bit of it represents economy, thrift and good judgment in investments. Mr. D. E. Lee, who owns the Palice Drug Store on Nin tecath and Vine streets is also very wealthy. He also owns the Druggist Cooperative Merchant Company in the West Bottoms. His fortune was founded originally upon his professional knowledge, coupled with years of savings and investments, rather than as the result of years of business ventures. Perhaps Mrs. Lucinda Day's success is the most remarkable one. Mrs. Day is now quite aged. She could not alter write when she went to Kansas City, soon after the war. But this coming handle proved no obstacle to her ambition. It is said she placed a spelling book up along side of her washing tub and learned her letters while she rubbed the clothing up and down a wash board. And she learned to write between washings. Her washboard is responsible today for three brick buildings near Thirteenth and Lydia streets, all two stories high), a fine home and many houses and lots scattered over the city. Her earnings and savings, not only educated her children, but have made a fortune of approximately $50,000. Mr. John Lang, reputed to be the richest colored man in the city, made his money out of the concert business. He was business manager for "Blind Boone," the colored pianist. Every time a crowded hall listened while the blind musician charmed with his melodies, Mr. Lang added a few more dollars to his fortune, which he widely invested in Kansas City real estate. Today Lang's fortune is estimated at $200,000, while he lives in a $19,000 home at 912 Park avenue. Mr. Lang is a typical example of the successful Negro of Kansas City in the point of acquiring wealth. There are several other colored persons of the city who made their wealth out of business. But a larger class, representing the professions, such as the physicians and teachers, have earned considerable and saved much, when they almost invariably put into real estate. One of the most notable instances of business progress and success is the Hygienic Manufacturing Company of Kansas City, Kansas. It is one of the largest manufacturing concerns in the United States, owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes. The principal owner and manager is Mr. Anthony Overton, North 3rd street. They manufacture a baking powder, food and toilet extracts of various kinds. Mr. Overton employs several persons. Besides traveling on the road himself he has three or four other salesmen covering Oklahoma, Texas and parts of the South and Southeast as far as Georgia and Florida, selling his products at wholesale to merchants only. He started business about twelve years ago with less than one thousand dollars; but today Mr. Overton has a rating in Duni and Bradstreet's directories of $30,000 to $10,000. CLOSING EXERCISES The regular commencement exercises of the Garnett High School were held on the evening of June 3rd in the Garnett High School Auditorium. On the strength of the announcement of the program and the special speaker for this occasion, a large audience had gathered, manifesting much interest in what was expected to take place according to this announcement. As the time scheduled for the opening of the exercises had arrived and was considerably past due, with no visible sign of the beginning of the program, the audience seemed to grow rather restless and showed signs of misgivings; however, the orchestra soon started up a lively opening selection which quieted the unrest and seemed to restore complacency to the waiting audience. The High School, including the graduating class, gave a splendid rendition of that part of the program which was allotted to them the main feature of which was the class oration, delivered by Verner Winston, one of the graduates, who did much credit to his class as well as to himself also. After this the principal announced that owing to some mistake in the time, the chief speaker of the evening, Dr. D. Webster Davis, had missed his train and could not be present on this occasion. This caused a ripple of disappointment to pass over the entire audience. The principal finished his announcement by introducing City Superintendent Prof. Goo, S. Laidley, who made a near address, pointing out to the graduating class the necessity of heart culture and moral stamina, without which, he said, their intellectual development might count for little or nothing in character building or uplift to others. At the end of his address, Prof. Laidley introduced Prof. Byrd Prillerman, president of West Virginia Colored Institute, who was substituted for Dr. Davis. Prof. Prillerman used a lengthy manuscript the subject of which was "The Responsibility of Citizenship." Mr. Prillerman called frequently upon ancient, medieval and modern history for evidence, and expressed many treisms in support of his contention. As a whole the paper was well received. There were, however, many unfavorable comments upon his statement that the difference between a white man and a Negro is that the former buys a newspaper and the latter a banana. Just what he meant by this expression he failed to make clear, but the interpretation generally accepted is that it was an ill-concealed attempt to pander to the prejudices of a part of his audience. Coming from the head of the largest Negro institution in the state, this expression was not at all pleasing to the teachers and other intelligent Negroes present. They are wondering of Mr. Prillerman intended a deliberate insult. The program in full was: Selection—Orchestra. Invocation—Rev. B. R. Reed. Chorus, Bridal Chorus, from "The Rose Maiden" by F. H. Cowen—High School. After Commencement. Cration—Vernor Winston. Chorus, "Hail Bright Abode," from "Tamhauser," by Wagner—High School. Address—Byrd Prillerman. Chorus, "The Miller's Moving" by Eason Faning—High School. J. E. Chamberlain, president of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas to the graduates. NEGRO MAY BE CAPTAIN OF HARVARD TRACK TEAM Cambridge, Mass., June 3.—Will Harvard elect a Negro the next captain of her Varsity track team? Theodore Cable, the Crimson's foremost hammer thrower and all-around athlete, is the logical selection for 1943. He is by far the best athlete on the team, and his grand work all the present season would certainly have earned for him the position hands down had he been white. As Harvard has a Japanese baseball manager, a Negro track leader would not seem so far-fetched as one would imagine. If Cable fails to land the position it will probably fall to J. B. Cummings, a hurdler, who has been out of condition all the season. "BLACK PRINCE" IN CELL Alleged Colored Crook Known in Many Counties is Held in $2,000 Bail as a Pickpocket. New York, June 1.—James Ragsdale, known in England, France, Australia and this country as the "Black Prince," Monday night heard detectives convince Magistrate O'Connor in the Night Court that he was the notorious character. When the magistrate announced that he would hold this "Black Prince" in $2,000 bail for General Sessions the prisoner begged him to be lenient, as he had tried to lead a straight life. When he was arrested Sunday night in a car at 42d street and 10th avenue by Lieutenants Griffith and Murphy he was attired in the black and white THE ADVOCATE of evening dress. Even in his cell he begged the keeper to permit him to change his clothes for the day that he was going to spend in prison. Permission was received and the "Black Prince" paid a boy to go to his abode to get his "sunshine clothes," as he could not bear to be seen in evening dress after daylight. Ragdale declares that he has done all his studying in prison. It was there that he read books and managed to pass for an intellectual colored man. He has had plenty of time for this study, as from 1906 to 1910 he spent part of the time on Blackwell's Island and about three years in the Charlestown State Prison, in Boston. He has been arrested in London. He served his first sentence in Melbourne, and all his trouble has been caused by his ability as a pickpocket. The "Black Prince," though he looks much younger, is 50 years old. Perpetuate Old Meanings. Perpetuate Our Meanings. "Ballot" and "suffrage" show how language perpetuates the memory of primitive methods. A "ballot" should be a vote taken with balls—one of the various ancient Greek instruments of secret voting. And the word "suffrage," which by some is derived from "suffrage," a knuckle bone or ankle bone, in that case recalls an early method of recording the vote. Creature of Habit. "Man," didactically began Professor Twiggs during a recent session of the Soc Et Tu Um club, "is a creature of habit." "Eh-yah!" grunted Old Codger. "Tennyrate, my nephew, Canute J. Babson, seems to be. He has been run over by the same automobile twice. But then Canute always comes home down the same lane at about the same hour in the evening, after he has partaken of about the same amount of hard elder."—Puck. Conquest It is a conques, when we can lift ourselves above the annoyance of circumstances over which we have no control; but it is a greater victory when we can make those circumstances our helpers, when we can appreciate the good there is in them.—Lucy Larcom. --- Emotions and the Senses Pleasurable sensations arouse pleasant emotions. The sunshine is always enlivening to some people, and the gloom always depressing—men have despaired in darkness and taken their lives because of an oppression due to the dark. We can to a degree choose what our sensations shall be, and so to some extent determine our emotions, but the mere gratification of sense is nearly always followed by depressing emotions. Famous Manuscripts Sought After. Manuscripts of famous books of the present time and of the future will probably be of little interest to bibliographers as compared with those of the past, for nearly all book manuscripts are now typewritten, and thus have no special individuality. But the genuine holograph "copy" of the old literary masters is treasured and brings good prices; for example, Sir Walter Scott's "Life of Jonathan Swift," in the original manuscript with annotations, brought $1,910 at the recent Hoe sale. Sensible Man. A. "Twenty-two Years Ago" item from the Wilson County Citizen: 'Once in a while we hear of a man who knows of a good thing when he gets it. A citizen of Iowa whose wife slept with another fellow received notice from a neighboring city that the couple had arrived there. He promptly telegraphed: "Don't arrest the runaways; have decided to let them go to the devil."—Kansas City Star. --- Why Hie Head Ached. Boswell one day complained to Johnson that the noise made by a group of literary men with whom they were dining the day before made his head ache. "No, sir; It was not the noise that made your head ache," replied Johnson, "it was the sense we put in to it." "Has sense that effect on the head?" asked Boswell. "Yes, sir; on heads not used to it," answered Johnson. Temperament: The poet says that we live by admiration, hope and love. Strong feelings not only affect our bodily processes, but they react upon the mind and make life worth living or death desirable. Feeling or emotion is what makes that desirable thing, temperament, which is but another word for interesting character. What a Man Is Made Of. The average man has "ingredients" to make fat for seven bars, of soap, iron for a medium-sized nail, sugar to till a small bowl, salt to fill a shaker, time to whitewash a chicken coop, phosphorus to make 2,200 match tips, magnesium for a dose of magnesia, sodium to neutralize a pint and a half of water, potassium to explode a toy cannon, sulphur to rid a dog of fleas, and albuminoids to make a case of eggs.—Leslie's Weekly. The poet Pope was on his deathbed, a friend by his side. The doctor, a confirmed optimist, came in, examined the patient and said he was getting along nicely. His pulse was better, the fever reduced, etc. "Here I lie," said Pope to his friend, "yelling of a hundred favorable symptoms." The Difference. Men think most of the present—the immediate; and rightly, their calling belig to do and to work. Women, on the other hand, more of how things hang together in life; and rightly, too, because their destiny—the destiny of the families—is bound up in this interdependence, and it is exactly this which it is their mission to promote.—Goethe. New Industrial Material As the result of many years of experimenting in England, a new substitute for hard rubber, gutta percha and leather has been announced. It is a product of seaweed. The new material is said to be especially useful in the electrical industries, being a noninflammable insulation of high dielectric strength, proof against heat, cold oils and weather. Surely Seemed Like It Bobby had endeavored to remove a glass of jam from the closet-shelf. The glass had slipped from his fingers and crashed to the floor, making a sad muss. "Oh, my!" said Bobby when the speech of which horror had deprived him had returned. "O my! Some one's been monkey'n with that jam!" Rift in the Lute "Isn't springtime grand?" gurgled the sweet young thing. "It is then that nature puts on her most gorgeous raiment, the timid violets peep through their covering of leaves, and the birds voice their happiness in song, and—" "And the cro-cusses," suggested the sapless swain, trying to help out—Judge. Lady and the Carpenter A French lady living in London engaged a carpenter to do some work for her at a stipulated price. She was surprised later to find that he charged her more than the price agreed upon. When she attempted to remonstrate with him, however, her English failed her, and she said: "You are dearer to me now that when we were first engaged." Nervous Children. The nervous child has in him the making of the brilliant man, but he is generally spoiled in the making. You must be patient and long-suffering with the boy or girl of nervous temperament, else you will do your child great injury. Never scold or tease Never hold the little one to ridicule. Above all never use the whip. It is only by the greatest means that the best can be brought out of the highly strung child, but when the proper course is taken such children are wonderfully responsive. --- Sancho Panza's Fribute to Sleep. Now, blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even—Cervantes. "For Marrying Us." Eight-year-old Robert, who has always imagined himself a very vital part of the family, was eagerly reading the "beauty and social etiquette" page of a newspaper, when he came across the question of what should be a proper tee to pay the minister for performing a marriage ceremony Robert hurriedly turned to his father inquiring, "Papa, what did you pay the minister for marrying us?"—In dianapolis News. Effect of Heat on Opals Opals expand with heat to a greater degree than any other precious stones. They are frequently lost because the expansion forces open the gold bands in which they are set.

Why, do you know, she never plays cards without insisting that the queen shall take the king." Cure for Nerves. People cultivate nerves to a large extent and do not apply simple rules to cure them. Healthy work, particularly out of doors, is an excellent antidote to nerves. Onions are a very good tonic for nervous people. Cranberries are good for sufferers from inactive liver.

Uncle Henry's Aphorism. "Lean men usually have pessimistic leanings," said Uncle Henry Butterworth. "But the fat fellow who sits down and is a hull cheer full, usually takes a cheerful view of things." Grouch's Point of View. "A holiday now and then is very desirable," said the genial citizen. "It gives us all a chance to rest." "I can't see it that way," replied Mr. Growcher. "It compels me to work that much harder to provide the clothes demanded for the special display." Sight for Familiar Objects A familiar face and form may be recognized at from fifty to one hundred meters. Somewhat Incomplete. Besides prophesying "warres, revolutions and the death of kynges," an almanac of the fifteenth century told you the proper day to take medicine.
