EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE SOUTH THEY ARE DOING MUCH TO IMPROVE RACIAL CONDITIONS AMONG YOUNG AFRO-AMERICANS A Visit To A Number Of Them Show Marked Advancement Along All Lines.—The Colonel Is Talking, Preaching And Lecturing At A Great Rate—Will Start For The Old World In the Spring—Has Received Several Donations To Help Him To Make A Showing. COL., J. O. MIDNIGHT. Belton, Texas.—I have been doing some riding since I wrote to you the last time, because when I took my pen in hand I was in New Orleans, and today I am in Belton, Texas. I had a fine time in New Orleans, meeting many friends there and making new friends. I sho did do some talking in town and then got through and left for another part of the world. Sunday morning I had the pleasure of preaching at Wesley M. E. church, which is to have as its pastor Rev. W. H. Logan, who has been at Trinity Houston, for 10 years past. Sunday night I spoke at St. James A. M. E. church, and Monday afternoon spoke to a large crowd of women at Union Bethel A. M. E. church, and Monday night at St. Peter's A. M. E. church, pastored by Rev. S. J. Channell, D. D. I visited the public school where I was before and met some of my friends there who turned out to extend me a welcome. The principal, the vice principal and all the other teachers, except one who was detained at home on account of death, Miss Claudia Gates, whose mother was one of the workers in the Baptist church. The visit was made on invitation from Misses I. Nickerson and Miss C. I. Burleigh. The teachers assembled in one of the rooms and accorded me a reception. I enjoyed the reception, and they declared that they enjoyed me. I have made up my mind to visit some of the other schools when I go to New Orleans another time. After getting around and seeing many of the people, I left early in the morning and found the iron horse hitched up ready to tote me to Alexandria. I was soon in town and with my friends. Prof P. W. Rogers received me and toted me to his school. I have not mentioned Prof. Rogers before. He is a young man who is making his way to the front and he is taking his place just like he was an old man. He is a graduate from Alcorn college and is now president of Delhi Normal college and is making a good president. I want to congratulate Bishop Lampton on securing this young man. He is a Christian gentleman and knows how to treat a man. I enjoyed being in his company, and he was with me to contribute to my every night while in town. I had the pleasure of speaking at the Baptist church, pastored by the Rev. Dr. Davis. I spoke to the women of the town there, and at night was at Shiloh Baptist church. Pros. W. E. Sampson, was in charge. He is principal of the Central Louisiana Academy, and grand advising secretary of the W. M. and M. W. of W. I do not know what that is. He is a native of Texas. He is a man who is doing good work for his people and denomination. I say denomination, because the academy is owned and operated by the 5th District Baptist Association. These people are supporting the school. Prof. Sampson is doing the work and he deserves credit. The people had a program and then I was introduced to the congregation by Rev. H B. N. Brown. Dr. Brown is superintendent of missions for the state and is president of the Trustee Board of the institution mentioned. After the meeting I was accompanied by Prof. Rogers and Prof. Sampson, two educators, to my stopping place. I spent a part of the night at the home of Mrs. Ella Roberson. She has a lovely home, and is a fine entertainer. She expressed herself as being pleased with what I had to say to the people. Prof. Sampson, told her to look to him and left me. These two young men were kind to me. Both of them are fine men. I got to sleep about 3 hours and left for Marshall, Texas, to visit Prof. Dogan and his school. When I stepped off of the carriage he had his representative to receive me. I was at his school in a short time, found them in chapel, and those people did give me a great ovation. I made a few remarks. They are doing fine work at Wiley, and I want to congratulate Prof. Dogan on the many buildings being erected there. From Marshall the next morning I started for Conroe, where I visited Prof. David Abner, Jr. This man has gone to a place where owls, horned frogs and many other things inhabited and turned it into an institution of learning where useful men and women are being turned out to bless the world Prof. Abner is a great man; and it is because he has had a great woman by his side. Mrs. Abner is one of the best trained women in the country. These people deserve credit. They have two children, son and daughter, who are being educated. After addressing the school, then I started for Houston. If you remember I told you when I was in Houston be- Continued on page 5.

The building is to have a frontage of 85 feet on T street by a depth of 120 feet. It will be constructed of Pompeian brick, with Indiana limestone trimming and a granite base. With a skeleton of steel and all floors balcony and steps of reinforced concrete, the building will be as nearly fire-proof as it is possible to make such a structure.

POLITICAL PLUMS BEGIN TO FALL AFTER A LONG WAIT A COUPLE OF THE FAITHFUL HAVE RECEIVED GOOD Purcell of the AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER 1918 11th St. N. W. Washington, D. O., Feb. 23.—There is general rejoicing on the part of those who look toward the White House for benedictions and blessings. The political plums are beginning to fall. Two significant appointments were made public last week. The lucky ones were Nelson Crews, of Kansas City. Mo., and W. D. Johnson of Kentucky. Mr. Crews was named as a special agent of the General Land Office. The salary of each place is said to be $2,500 per annum. They will be employed in the field. Both were active in the contest of 1908, and did much to rally the Negro vote to the standard of Mr. Taft when the agitation of the Brownsville episode threatened the solidarity of the colored republicans in the doubtful states. Mr. Crews was for a number of years connected with the police court of Kansas City, and is considered quite an orator. Mr. Johnson has been in the newspaper business for a number of years and is well known in Kentucky his native state. The appointments are representative and now that the ice is broken, there is reason to believe that the long delayed distribution of the administration's budget of good things for the faithful colored brother will be pushed with vigor.

WHITE CAPITALISTS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FIND A PROFITABLE WAY TO INVEST. Lincoln Memorial Building Project Likely To Fall Through-Proposition To Take Over New Theatre Proposed By White Capitalists—Another Theatric Venture Proposed For Colored People—Can't Turn Away Two Thousand Whites For Two Hundred Blacks. Bureau of The Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St., N. W. Washington, Feb. 21—The contract between the Lincoln Memorial Building Company and the A. C. Deltwyr Company of stock brokers, by which the latter was to sell the stock for the erection of the $400,000 theatre and office building projected by the Lincoln Company, has been abrogated The work is now in the hands of President W. Sidney Pittman and Secretary W. A. Bowie, and will be carried on by them until satisfactory arrangements can be made with some other financial managers.

He does not admit Negroes at the Casino as he regards the theatre as a social institution on the order of a restaurant or barber-hop, and must operate his house with proper regard, for the local race customs in vogue in the district. He disclaims any anti-Negro feeling on his part, but said running a theatre is purely a cold-blooded matter of business with him, and he could not turn away 2000 while customers to accommodate 200 Negroes. He says his colored theatre will be equal in every detail, to the Casino, and will seat not less than 1900 persons.

The city police have failed, even with the help of the State Fencibles, to cope successfully with the widely scattered forces of the rioters, and are suffering now from the strain of five days of almost incessant active service with little or no sleep. In this emergency, Mayor Reyburn has asked Governor Stuart to dispatch the full force of the mounted State constabulary to this city to assist in restoring order. The appeal was sent to the Governor Tuesday, and, though no reply had been received from the Chief Executive of the State, it was stated in the City Hall Wednesday, both by the Mayor and the Director of Public Safety, Henry Clay, that a force, consisting of nearly 200 State police, would probably arrive in Philadelphia Thursday under command of Capt. John C. Groome. The men will be dispatched to the trouble districts at once to restore order and prevent rioting at any cost. If more help should be required to preserve order and restore the cars to regular schedule, the full force of the State militia will be called upon. This, however, will be dong, only as a last resort. In anticipation of the call regiments in many sections of the State are making active preparations to meet a hurried summon from this city, and commanders of Philadelphia regiments are already met and instructed their officers to have the men of their companies in readiness for instant service. Though these preparations are being made Mayor Reyburn declared that the necessity for calling the militia was decreasing. The city, he said, had spent a day that contrasted favorably with those of the earlier part of the week, only one serious disturbance having occurred. He said that though the call had been sent for the State constabulary there was no real need of their servicemen. But they would be used to relieve the regular policemen, who have been practically without rest since Sunday. 74 ESCAPE FROM MINE. Explosion May, However, Cause One Man's Death. Central City, Ky.

The American consul is Jose de Olivares, a native of California and who was appointed from Missouri in 1906. A committee composed of the British, Italian and Spanish consuls was appointed and later visited President Madriz, who was found to be in sympathy with the object of the consuls, in unwilling to state the terms upon which he would make peace with the insurgents. The consuls also communicated with Rear Admiral Kimball, United States Navy, asking him to transmit by wireless to General Estrada at Bluefields a message in which the consuls condemned further shedding of blood, offering the mediation of the consular body and asking the insurgent leader to submit the terms demanded by the revolutionists. Rear Admiral Kimball replied: "I am always desirous of aiding any effort in the direction of peace and will assist any authorized commission which will show me that it possesses authorization of directions to act."

NO EXPLANATION OF THE QUARREL He Denies That He Attempted To Assault The Girl, But Does Not Explain What Caused Her To Try To Get Away From Him And Back Over The Railing Of The Pier—The Man Held For Trial And The Police Investigating. Atlantic City, N. J. (Special).—Jane Adams, the young girl whose body was found in the surf on the morning of February 13, tumbled over the rail of the million-dollar pier into the ocean while backing away from William Seyler during a quarrel, according to the statement of the man made to the police. Although Seyler refuses absolutely to admit that he was attempting to assault the girl when she met her tragic death, the police still hold to this theory, and are working to establish a case that will warrant them in holding Seyler for murder. New Jersey Jersey is at assault victims in death of the victim is considered murder, and this law will be invoked by County Prosecutor Goldenburg in his effort to hold Seyler for indictment and trial. The substance of Seyler's confession made public by he police is to the effect that the girl met her death by accident. Seyler declares that he saw her hack toward the railing and suddenly tumble backward into the ocean. The man declares, that he hurried down the ladder leading to the water's edge in the hope of grabbing the girl, but that she never came up. The man insisted that he had no intention of assaulting the girl, but has made no satisfactory statement regarding the cause of the quarrel that led her to run from him. "I never intended to harm Jane Adams," he declared after the police had broken down his nerve and impressed him with the necessity of explaining his part in the tragedy. "Jane backed away toward the railing and the next minute I saw her fall. She screamed as she went over the rail and I ran for the ladder intending to jump overboard if necessary, but she sank like a stone and I never saw her again." The spot pointed out by Seyler as the place where the tragedy occurred is directly over the boat landing of the pier, where the police found what they believe to be blood stains. Seyler also joins with the police in the theory that the girl's body struck the landing in its fall causing the terrible bruising of her face and the deep scar over her eye, which surgeons declare to have been enough to have caused her death. $10,000 OR DEATH. Threatening Letter Received By An Ohio County Treasurer. Portsmouth, O. (Special)—Harry Bennett, treasurer of Meigs County, has received a letter threatening his father, Capt. Thomas L.

To the amazement of veteran mine inspectors the bodies, entombed since last November 13, when brought to the surface were found to be almost perfectly mummified. The mummified condition was brought about by the bodies having during the three months been in a part of mine which was dry and warm, and the bodies were going through a slow process of drying up. "This is one of the most remarkable incidents of a disaster which has been full of wonders," declared an old mine inspector. "The mummies are in such good preservation that they might have been taken out of the ancient tombs of Egypt." Fighting through fire and the deadly black damp which ever since the disaster has stood between them and the 165 or more bodies still entombed in the mine, the rescuers found the 11 bodies in what is known as the second level. They were about 175 feet from the main air-bash. The men, instead of rearing to attack their parts of the mine, evidently had made a desperate effort to escape when the fire broke out and they were among the first to die. They were found with their arms stretched forward and face down, having been suffocated as they ran, probably by a gust of heat and gas. Shut in air-tight chambers when the mine was finally sealed up, they remained in a kind of an over in which the temperature was a little above blood heat. Their clothing was so badly scorched and their features so badly disfigured by falling rock that identification was difficult. Fire is still raging in the mine. A new tunnel, or entry, 150 feet long, had to be cut around a fire area before the bodies were reached. As soon as the opening was made work was begun on barricading with concrete all the fire area. Four other bodies were seen in the same place, and these soon will be brought up. Among the 11 bodies recovered was that of John McGill, a boy. When the alarm of fire spread through the mine last November McGill's father strapped his son to him and ran several hundred feet before he fell unconscious. The father was taken out by rescuers and revived. The boy could not be taken out because of fire. The father is now working to help clear the mine. COL. BOOSEYELT'S TOUR. Will Visit French Capital Before Going To Berlin. Berlin (Special).—Former President Roosevelt, replying to an official inquiry, telegraphed to the Foreign Office from Gondokoro that he expected to be in Berlin between May 1 and 11, coming here from Paris, which city, contrary to expectations here, he will visit first. He will be in the French capital during the last few days of April. Mr. Roosevelt has an engagement in London for May 15 and so will be obliged to leave Berlin a day or two before that date. Nothing has been decided at yet regarding the manner in which the distinguished American will be entertained here. "A Hen Is A Bird." Washington, D. C. (Special).—"A hen is a bird" is the official declaration of the United States Treasury Department. Its customs exports made this ruling in response to the inquiries of one of the department's correspondents, who called attention to the fact that the Payne tariff law levied a duty of $0.5 a dozen on hen's eggs while at the same time bird's eggs are admitted duty free. The paragraph imposing the duty of $0.5 a dozen on hen's eggs is specific, so that although a hen is officially declared to be a bird, its products will have to pay the tariff fee. Mad Mullah Active. Aden. Arabia (Special)---Mohammed Abdullah of Somaliland, the "Mad Mullah," is on again the warpath. A big force of Dervishes has raided the Sultanate of the Mijertus, killing and burning in all directions. The slaughter of tribesmen was very heavy. One whole town was gutted by fire and 14,000 camels were taken by the Dervishes. The administration of the Sultanate of the Mijertus is entrusted the government of Italian Somaliland. Aigrette Law Enforced. San Francisco. — Charged with having aigrettes in their possession, Mrs. Jane Roe Bagnal, a milliner, and Charles Isaac, manager of a jewelry firm, were arrested on warrants issued at the instance of William Finley, secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies. These are the first arrests under the California law which makes it a crime to have aigrettes in one's possession. Satan. A Black Cat. A Hero. New York (Special)—Satan, a big black cat, owned by Mrs. Hetty Green, one of the wealthiest women in the world, gave an alarm of fire to which 140 families in a block of Hoboken apartments owed their escape from danger. Satan, who had been placed in the care of the janitor during the absence of his mistress, clawed at the janitor's door till he was aroused from his sleep. He found the hallways filled with smoke and routed out the tenants. 'Everybody got put safely. Leader of the Black Hand Gang and Counterfiter. HE WAS A FOE OF JOSEPH PETROSINI Band Of Six Italians Get Record- Breaking Terms In Federal Prison —Lupo Believed To Have Caused Death Of The Famous Italian Dective Who Was Assassinated— Prisoners And Women Faint. In Court. New York (Special).—The eight Sicilians—Ignacio Lupo, the "Wolf," Guiseppi Morello, Antonio Calcea, Nicola Sylvester, Vincenzo Giglia, Salvatore Cina, Guiseppi Callichio and Guiseppi Palermo—who have been on trial for counterfeiting before Judge Ray, in the United States Court for nearly four weeks, were found guilty on all six counts in the indictment and sentenced to serve record terms in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. Lupo and Morello, who are regarded not only as the principal leaders in Black Hand operations and in counterfeiting in this country, as well as the most desperate criminals among the fans here, respectively. These are the severest sentences ever imposed on counterfeiting. The maximum penalty for each count of the indictment is 15 years and a fine of $10,-000. Lupo is said to have been the man responsible for the death of Lieut. Joseph Petrosini. In passing sentence, Judge Ray took only the first and second counts, which charge the making of the two and five-dollar notes, suspending sentence on the remaining four counts. The eight sentences of imprisonment figure to a total of 150 imprisons and the fines aggregate $6,600. The first of the convicted men called to the bar was Guisepi Gallichio. Gallichio is an elderly man, and as the sentence of 17 years in prison and a fine of $600 was announced he broke down and wept hysterically. Moreli was then called to the bar for sentence. When the words pronouncing sentence of 25 years fell from Judge Ray's lips Moreli doubled up in a heap and fainted. Nicola Sylvestre, who is only a boy and acted as a messenger for the counterfeiting gang, was next sentenced to serve 15 years and pay a fine of $1,000. When Lupo was summoned for sentence he walked boldly to the bar. He kept a stiff upper lily until his counsel began his strong plea for mercy for him, when he suddenly broke down and wept long and bitterly. Judge Ray remarked that he believed that the verdict of the jury was perfectly just, and in regard to his testimony on the witness stand that he killed Salvatore Morillo in Palermo in self-defense he pronounced sentence on himself when he fled the country. When Judge Ray finally pronounced sentence, 30 years in the federal prison at Atlanta, Lupo took the sentence in Palermo and Cocina, Cina, Giglio and Palermo took their sentences cooly. The first three got 15 years each and fines of $1,000 each and Palermo got 18 years and a fine of $1,000. The sentences are the heaviest ever imposed on counterfeiters. When the sentences were being pronounced only newspaper men, Secret Service agents and the assistants from the district attorney's office were permitted in the courtroom. The men operated a "plant" for the making of bad $5 and $2 bills at Highland. N. Y. They turned out the money in a farmhouse to which they had lured Antonio Comilo, a printer, who was held at the threat of death and obliged to print the spurious bills. $30,000 For Thaw's Creditors Pittsburg (Special).—The first and partial account of Roger O'Mara, trustee in bankruptcy for Harry Kendall Thaw, was filled with Referee Blair.

(Special).—Charles Franks shot and killed Josie Donovan, fatally wounded Roy Anderson and Lulu Holt and then killed himself in a rooming house. Franks entered a building and saw Anderson talking to the Holt woman, and mistaking him for another man, opened fire. Germany's First Dreadnought. Berlin (Special).—The Nassua, Germany's first Dreadnought, has successfully undergone a severe test which was highly gratifying to naval officers. All her guns, large and small, were fired simultaneously with battle ammunition without the slightest damage to any of her fittings or installations. Women May Bring Cigarettes. New York.—Collector Loeb's special board engaged in formulating plans to provide more speedy debarkation of trans-Atlantic passengers and examination of baggage has recommended a ruling to permit women as well as men to bring in 300 cigarettes duty free. So the Spanish senora and senorita and Cuban belle, as well as the fair American, who must have their "little puff" may hereafter come into the United States accompanied by a stock of her own favorite brand of paper smokes. The Alaskan Liner Yucatan Lost During a Snowstorm, Snow Falling Heavily When Iceberg Loomis Up—Ship Rams The Monster and Tears Great Hole In Its Side—Headed Full Speed For Shore, But Goes To Bottom In Eight Minutes—Men And Women Reach The Island—Row Fifteen Miles For Help. Juneau, Alaska, February 17—The steel steamship Yucatan, of the Alaskan Steamship Company, formerly a yacht used by George W. Perkins, of New York, bound from Valdez to Seattle, with 65 passengers, struck an iceberg in ice Strait yesterday and sank within eight minutes in six (athoms of water at high tide. There was no loss of life, and so far as is known, no one was injured. The shipwrecked passengers and sailors are camped on Chichagof Island. They will be brought to Juneau tomorrow by the steamer Georgia, which left Juneau soon after news of the wreck was received. First Mate Gutafson, of the Yucatan and Capt. Raymond Jaeger, of the fishing schooner Alexandra, arrived here with news of the loss of the Yucatan. The Yucatan was bound for Gysym, on Chichagof Island, to take on a cargo of gypsym. When Icy Strait was reached the water was smooth, but there were great fields of ice. Snow was falling so heavily that it was impossible to see far ahead. Capt. theorter was on a bridge with the capt. Capt. John Johnson, who commanded the steamship Ohio when she was lost in British Columbian waters last summer. Slow steam was ordered and the steamer crept through the ice. Presently an iceberg loomed up ahead and the steamship rammed it, tearing a great hole in the side of the vessel. Full steam ahead was ordered and the Yucatan was beached on Chichagof Island. The boats were lowered and all on board were taken ashore without mishap or confusion. The 10 women passengers were taken off first. Food and bedding and the United States mail are on the island the castaways found cabins, and, with sufficient food, clothing, blankets and wood, are not likely to suffer. Many passengers lost their personal effects. Soon after the crew had landed Captain Johnson, First Mate Gustafsen and four sailors put off in a lifeboat to seek aid. After rowing 15 miles they sighted the fishing schooner Alexandria. Captain Johnson and the sailors turned back to the island in the lifeboat, while Captains Jaeger and Mate Gustafson set out for Junaule in a gasoline launch, which broke down after going a short distance. The two men had had difficulty in getting their boat the Ohoonah in getting to the Indians refused to lend them a boat and the white men were obliged to row the heavy launch to Junaule. Mate Gustafson could not say whether the Yucatan could be saved. It is a steel vessel built at Chester, Pa., in 1890, and was valued at $300,000. Last summer she was equipped as a private yacht at an expense of $50,000 and, flying the flag of the United States, carried Good W. Perkins, of New York, and a party of friends on a pleasure trip along the Alaska coast. After this trip the Yucatan was reconverted into a commercial boat.

Baehr Breaks Record Cleveland's Chief Executive Appoints Twenty-three Afro-Americans to Good Paying Positions During First Month In Office. Fleming. Brascher and Eubanks Factors In Ohio Republican Politics. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Hon. Herman C. Bachr, Republican, who defeated Tom L. Johnson, Democratic candidate for mayor of Cleveland, O., last fall, is doing some things for the Afro-American voters of the city which are in every way commendable and which should refresh [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. THOMAS W. FLEMING. the memory of the mayors of some other large cities in the west and north who seem to have forgotten that Afro-Americans voted for them in the municipal elections in 1909. Mayor Buhrer is broad minded and has shown his willingness to recognize men of merit and worth regardless of their race or color. He began his term of office on Jan. 1, and since that time, through the efforts of City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, who is ever ready and on the alert for the best interest of the race, twenty-three Afro-Americans have been appointed to good paying positions. Councilman Fleming is a prominent attorney at the Cleveland bar and bears the unique distinction of being the first man of our race who has ever been elected to the city council in Cleveland. He is also the first of our race to be elected councilman at large in the state, being the recognized leader among our people in Republican politics both in the state and in Cleveland. Mr. Fleming's success in public affairs has been phenomenal, and he is considered to be good timber for larger responsibilities in the body politic, especially where the interest of the race is most likely to be jeopardized. Judging from the number of men already appointed by Mayor Bachr, it is safe to assume that no other city in the United States can boast of such recognition as has been accorded to members of the race in Cleveland within such a short time. No better selection could possibly have been made for the exacting duties of city storekeeper in the city auditor's office than that of Nahum Daniel Brascher. Mr. Brascher is the first Afro-American to hold the position and is well qualified by learning and experience to fill it. As editor of the Cleveland Journal, which is one of the leading race papers of the [Picture of a man with a mustache and glasses, wearing a suit and tie. The background is plain white. There are no other details or text.]] NAHUM DANIEL BRASCHER. west, he has been a molder of public sentiment in favor of our people for a number of years. Fearless and conscientious, Mr. Brascher has made strong defense of all the rights and privileges due the race under the national government. Being a strict party man, he has wielded a potent influence for Republican success in many exciting campaigns in the city and in the state. His slogan now is, as it ever has been. "To the victors belong the spoils." Few men of either race in Cleveland enjoy a wider acquaintance as public officers than does the Hon. Henry T. Eubanks, member of the Ohio legislature, who is now serving his second term. His voice has been heard many times in debate on questions touching the public good as well as that of his own race. Mr. Eubanks may justly be termed an old school politic. n. with added capacity for grasping the new ideas and methods which characterize present day statesmanship. A sincerity and devotion to the duties of his office and an interest in the well being of the race are possessed by him to a degree seldom manifested in a single individual. His career as a public servant, therefore, has been marked by a calm and passionate view of men and measures, working for the good of the state and all its people. Every county office, with the exception of the prosecutor's and clerk's office, has a representative of the race employed. The latter office, of course, is controlled by Democrats. Thus with the following partial list of our men who are holding positions which they have well merited it appears that the race in Cleveland, O., is marching on. They are J. Clarence Brown, chief inspector garbage collection department; Dan K. Fairfax, clerk, waterworks department; Walter Patterson, park police; W. O. Thornhill, notice clerk, sidewalk department; William Brown, inspector of brick and cement, engineer's office; Samuel Kyle, barn man, collection department; Edgar B. Moore, messenger, director public service office; Abraham Stevens and Jacob Cummings, janitors, city hall; Charles Hayes and Jersey Gorder, night watchmen, city hall; Frank Griffin and Ernest Burke, meter readers; John Clifford, janitor, Central Market House; William Shaffer, barn man, central police station; J. A. Johnson, Janitor, pumping station; George Turner, bridge guard, and James Johnson, policeman, East Ninth street bridge. Seventy-five colored men are employed at the garbage collection department as drivers of garbage wagons at $2 per day, and about twenty are working on the streets as white wings. Twelve men have teams working for the city. As strange as it may seem to some, the day has come when Afro-Americans all over the country must cease to base their claim for political recognition solely on party alliation. More and more are we convinced that the future salvation of the race in politics will depend largely upon the men [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. HON. HENRY T. EUDANKS. whom it helps to elect to office. Especially is this true in municipal affairs. While at heart no doubt the masses of our people are inclined to support the Republican party, we have no kick with those who for good and sufficient reasons cast their lot with other political organizations as a means to an end. Mayor Bachr of Cleveland is a man who has proved blimself worthy of our support. POLITICAL EQUILIBRIUM. County Voters Want to Know Their Status in Party Organization. There seems to be much unrest among the members of the Colored Republican league of Kings county, N. Y. At the annual installation of officers, held on Tuesday evening, Feb. 15, the league selected for discussion at its meeting on March 1 this subject: "What Is the Present Political Status of the Colored Republicans of the County In the Republican Party Organization?" John II. Smith, president of the league, is one of the best known politicians in the county and has more than once taken issue with the county organization for its alleged unfair treatment of the colored voters in making appointments to positions in recognition of valuable services rendered the party in various campaigns where the colored vote held the balance of power. Church Complica With Pastor's Wish In accordance with the expressed desire of the Rev. Dr. William T. Dixon previous to his death in June, 1909, the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn, of which he was the honored and beloved pastor for over forty-five years, the church recently donated $100 for the completion of the executive office of the Downingtown Industrial school at Downingtown, Pa. The money was paid to the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia, who is president of the school. The room will be known as Dixon hall. Future Hundred Yard Champion. James Ravewell, the Afro-American ind who took part in the 100 yard dash at the Poly meet of the High School of Commerce in Brooklyn recently, crossed the tape a winner, making the fastest run ever recorded in the history of the high school boys' meet. He is regarded as the future world's 100 yard champion runner. PRESBYTERIANS CONFER. Church Killing Pastors Not Wanted. Dwarfed Churches on Good Fields. New impetus was given religious work among Afro-American Presbyterians at a recent conference held in the Plane Street Presbyterian church, Newark, N. J. While the object of the conference was to consider the possibility and future of Presbyterianism among our people in the state, the work of the church throughout the country among our race was largely discussed. The conference considered the state of New Jersey a most excellent field for the Presbyterian church and that the only possible hindrance to a strong and aggressive church throughout the state is the introduction of a class of ministers who lack energy, who do not mingle with the public and are cold and distant in their manner and relation to the people. One of the ministers said that there were some Presbyterian churches old enough to be great-grandmothers, fifty and sixty years old, which are still being nursed and carried by the home missionary board of the church and that there were a number of stunted and dwarfed churches on good fields. "What is needed," he continued, "is live, wide awake, aggressive ministers in charge. There ought to be some way to remove these church killing ministers from the field. They are doing the cause of Presbyterianism among us a great injury." There are, however, five large, self supporting churches of that denomination among our people in New Jersey. THE MAIN LESSON TO LEARN. Look to the Inside—Self Help Hope of the Race. The element of encouragement has without doubt taken a permanent seat within the breast of the colored man. Notwithstanding hostile legislation and unreasoning predilection and persecution he is everywhere keeping step to the rattling drumbeat of the march of progress, says the Dullas (Tex.) Express. The main lesson to learn now is to look to the inside. Self help is the hope of the race. Personal economy and individual morality are the factors which we must strive to cultivate. The leaders of the colored people, the preachers and schoolteachers, must not fail to impress the rising youth with the importance of self help. The pages of history are fairly ablaze with shining examples of men, nations and races who through the cultivation of this trait have risen from obscurity to greatness and usefulness. The record shows nobody barred. The line is unbroken. Wherever a man has looked up and tried to help himself in a legitimate way he has been able to show progress. Viewed from this standpoint, the doctrine of self help must of necessity he classed as man's saving salt. YOUNG MEN OF HIGH IDEALS Annual Reception of Virtuoso Club to Be Full Dress Affair. The Virtuoso club of Brooklyn is composed of a dozen or more young men who banded themselves together several years ago for literary and social purposes, in which it has had a successful career. Among the members are artists, musicians and mechanics. Their midwinter reception, which is usually given the second week in February, has been postponed this year to April 8 on account of Lent beginning before the date of the reception. All the social functions of the club are of a high order, and admission to them is strictly by invitation of the members. The forthcoming reception will be a full dress affair and will be held in one of the large halls, where every facility for the comfort and enjoyment of the club's guests may be had. An orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion, and an experienced caterer will serve the menu. OLD LANDMARK SOLD. Fashionable Congregation Gets Large Sum For Church Properties. St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church, New York, recently sold all of its real estate, including its present church home on West Twenty-fifth street, for the neat sum of $500,000 in cash and will erect a new church edifice in One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street at a cost of $200,000 in the near future. The new building will be for institutional church work, and the rest of the funds will be placed in an endowment. Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop has been rector of the church for the past twenty-four years. St. Philip's has long been regarded as the most fashionable parish among Afro-Americans in New York. The trustees hope to have the new building completed this year. St. Philip's was built seventy years ago. Left Some Facts For Mayor Gaynor. That the Afro-American voters of Greater New York are not satisfied with their lot was made strikingly plain by the recent visit of Edward E. Lee, leader of the United Colored Democracy to the mayor's office to remind him that the colored Democrats voted last fall. Mr. Lee left a set of resolutions from the club with Mayor Gaynor which, it is said, contained some facts which that official should know. Encouraging Work at Cadiz College We are pleased to note the increase in the number of students at the Cadiz (XZ.) Normal and Theological college since Jan. 1. President W. H. Meltidley and his able group of teachers are doing real conscientious work, and they richly deserve the support given for the work of the college. Weekly Review of Trade and Market Reports. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Iimproved financial conditions serve to strengthen business confidence. Sentiment in iron and steel is more cheerful now that the United States Corporation has entered /the market as a buyer of plg iron, although the situation on the whole in this division still remains somewhat disappointing. No cancellations are reported, however, and shipments are sustained, except where severe weather has delayed transportation. Some railroads have found it necessary to replenish old rolling stock because of the wear and tear caused by an unusually hard winter, and a Western system alone has placed an order for 75 locomotives. Activity is especially pronounced in the wire trade, and the reported weakening of prices is not general." "Business failures in the United States for the week ended with February 17 were 269, against 249 last week, 282 in the like week of 1909, 326 in 1908, 177 in 1907, and 186 in 1906."

The Legislature is in session at Annapolis. Don't wake it up. It might get busy and do something awful. Street Superintendent Wickes, if nothing else, owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Jupiter Pluvis, for the excellent manner he cleaned a number of streets this week. Constructive? C-o-n-s-t-r-u-c-t-i-v e something. It seems to us we have heard that word somewhere before. Where was it? Where was it? It may be a most excellent thing, office holding, but the great trouble about it is that the fellow that gets a job seems to spend almost as much as it is worth in time and trouble to get it. Now that the "Plum Tree" is beink shaken, the crowds will be hurrying on to Washington, looking for jobs that will never come. "Straight is the gate and narrow the way, and few there be that findeth the job." Kentucky seems to be very much in evidence in wanting things from the White House. It has just received an appointment at the hands of the Chief Executive, and now it wants another big plum. Why not give the other fellow a chance? Peihaps no incident in the great campaig to stamp out tuberculosis is more significant than the proposition to have the churches of the United State stake a definite part by establishing a national "Tuberculosis Sunday." The very fact that a large proportion of the 33,000,000 church-going Americans will hear some truths and receive some instruction which will enable them to order their physical lives better seems to bring the subject distinctly within the province of the church. It is hoped that every congregation in this community will accede to the request now being made by the Maryland Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis, and devote at least a part of one oice on Sunday April 24th to CAN WE SUSTAIN UNDER PROSPERITY? It was predicted that we could not sustain under the burdens of citizenship, just as we were leaving the house of bondage. In a prominent Democratic weekly, during the year 1875; an article along this line appeared. The following is a brief extract from the article in question: The decree of Emancipation was a sentence of death to the Negro race upon this continent; none the less inexorable because it is self-executing. If to that sentence there is any alternative, it is barbarism, the loss of all that three centuries have gained, and a lapse into the old normal character and con- Comment upon the above quotation, in the light of the experience and results thirty-five years after the utterance, is hardly necessary. Despite the fact, that at that time, we were just making the start on our journey from slayery, and our fathers, for the most part, were illiterate, somehow, by the help of the Almighty, not withstanding the many aggravations thrown in our path, we managed, not only to survive adversity, but to thrive while passing through that terrible or da. In 1S75, there was an organization in this city by the name of "The Progressive Union and Cooperative Association" of which the late Mr. George Myers, we believe, was President. The late Prof. John Mercer Langston; under the auspices of this Association, addressed the citizens of Baltimore, on the Thanksgiving Day of the same year. As an indication of the character of the colored men who fought the battles of the race, in that day, we reproduce the resolution of invitation adopted by the association: "Resolved, that Professor John M. Langston be specially invited to lecture in Baltimore, in behalf of the Association, on Thanksgiving evening, November 25, 1875, upon the following subject: "The Duties of the Hour as they pertain to the Colored American Citizen;" and that he be furnished with a copy of the declaration of objects of the Association. "Whereas, it is an undeniable fact that a strong and powerfully organized opposition exists in this country to the colored man's full and complete enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of American citizenship; and "Whereas, we believe that the full enjoyment of said rights is to be obtained and preserved only by combination, organization, and perserverance by colored men; therefore "Resolved, that we organize for the following objects under the name of the "Colored Men's Protective and Co-operative Union." 1. To secure equal advantages in schools of all grades, from the primary school to the University 2. To secure a full and complete recognition of our civil rights, and to defend by all proper means any abridgement of the same. 3. To use all justifiable means to obtain for our children admission into workshops of our country, that they may obtain a practical knowledge of all mechanical branches of business. 4. To labor for the moral and social elevation our people. As one reverts to those days of struggle and great self sacrifice, the part of that noble army of women who through the "washtub" wrought wondrously, succeeded by the good hard sense, and honesty of purpose of the men who had come to freedom through great tribulations, and, then, note how to-day we have entered largely into their labors, we ought to feel ashamed of ourselves at the lack of faith and courage of many of our number who are what they are by reason of that splendid sacrifice and devotion of their illiterate forhears. Chiefly, under the leadership of the Negro ministry, and the unfaltering support of the masses of our people who came up "from slavery." We have a far different condition of things in this city than that which existed when the late Prof. Langston, under the auspices of the Protective Association, addressed the colored citizens of Baltimore. Not to say anything of the colored persons in this city employed by the United States government, and the many who have built up for themselves business enterprises, and the respectable number of those engaged in the learned professions. We have, from nothing, a veritable small army of colored school teachers, some drawing salaries of $2400, $1800, $1500, $1000, and hundreds of them, from $400 to a thousand dollars a year. We do not mention all this in a spirit of boast, but rather in a spirit of devout thankfulness, accompanied with a sense of heavy responsibility. The practical question which all this suggests is, "Can we sustain under prosperity?" And this question ought to be seriously faced by those enjoying such a high degree of prosperity hardly dreamt of by their honored forbears. If poor men and women of the race, mainly in menial occupations, filled with such a beautiful spirit of disinterestedness, could by faith, deny themselves the ordinary comforts of life, and contribute from their scanty earnings to help on the progress of their people, the precious memories of their devotion demand of those ingreater prosperity, endeavors and sacrifices commensurate with their knowledge and ability. It is worse than nonsense for us to be demanding "higher education," and complaining because of the undue stress placed upon "industrial education" by white philanthropists, when many of those of the race who have received "higher education" and the emoluments which come with such, are stingy, close-fisted, and always ready to scheme whereby the humblest people may fork over their little bits, while they indulge in visions of becoming wealthy. Once upon a time, it could have been somewhat truthfully asserted that the Negro preacher was about the best paid of all our people who earn salaries. But, whatever may have been true, in this respect in the past, it is no longer an accurate statement of the fact. If a new building for the Y. M. C. A. is a necessity for the race, if Provident Hos. it ought to greatly improved, and adequately equipped, and other such worthy institutions need substantial help, let the materially prosperous class among us, who by reason of their knowledge and culture, ought fully to appreciate the helpfulness of such, led off in the movement. And by leading off we do not mean with their quarters and half dollars, but with such real contributions, in accordance with the high state of prosperity and blessing which they sustain. This, if they do, will win to them the confidence and appreciation of the great masses of our people, and inspire the thousands of the race to give gladly and heartily out of their poverty. THEY ARE AT IT. Over in Philadelphia they are in the battle for home and bread. The man with only one eye, and that one being strabismic at that, could easily have seen the shadow of this fratricidal conflict gathering. Twenty-wo years ago and for a long time thereafter, when the young American married they could fill their quarter barrel flower bin with the best flower on the market, for one dollar and ten cents. If he fills that same bin today he must pay one dollar and eighty cents. In those same halcyon days, choice cuts of steak could be bought for twelve and fifteen cents, and for three cents you could buy liver enough for a meal for a small family. But how marvelously has all of this changed? Today, men earning ten and twelve dollars a week are in a constant struggle for bread and home. Rents in many quarters are collected by the week, and ejections follow promptly on the heel of non-payment, so that the whole social fabric is in a state of unrest. As Tom Johnson, the famous three-cent fare Mayor of Cleveland, has always said. "The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer." The conflict in Philadelphia between labor and capital could never have occurred if those who are parties to the conflict had the spirit of the golden rule. Are not the great corporations declaring immense dividends and the owners amassing great fortunes? Why not give LABOR THE ONLY REAL CAPITAL, its fair share of the dividends? Why should the men who toil in the rain, face the pelting hail and cutting slect, who risk their lives on the tops of slippery box cars and shiver in the winter's cold or burn in the summer's heat, be made to feel the penury of want and the pinch of hunger, while a few men sit back by their comfortable fires in winter or snooze in the shade of cool grottoes in the summer, with great fortunes to answer every desire? Why should wealth be so greedy as to bring to pass a condition which calls upon officers of the law, to shoot down hungry men in the streets of a great American City, "O temporal! O mores!" DIVIDE UF. We are living in the day of giant fortunes and giant enterprises whose scope and plans of operation run out into the years contemplating the expenditure of millions of dollars. Upon these plans calculations are made by some, to amass great fortunes or to augment those which they have. But to what purpose is this growing of great fortunes? Is it tor the public weal or for selfish indulgence. The records of the divorce courts, unfolding the domestic life of the wealthy, seem to indicate quite clearly, that selfishness is largely responsible for the struggle after great fortunes. The dress bill of a woman of wealth for one season would more than give support to ten average American families. Then the wines and social pleasure bills would take the yoke of poverty and distress off the neck of as many more. In this government by the people and for the people, is it not high time that we set a limit to individual accumulation of fortunes? Take a look, for example, at the personal fortune of Mr. Rockefeller. His fortune is variously estimated, but the general consensus of opinion puts his personal fortune at more than one billion of dollars ($1,000,- 000,000), a fortune running into ten figures. Why not divide up? What would a division of this one fortune do? You could divide this one fortune among TEN THOUSAND FAMILIES and give each family the fabulous sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Or you might divide this same ONE MAN's fortune among twenty thousand (20,000 families, and give each family the immense fortune of fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars. Or you could take the same ONE MAN's fortune and divide it among forty thousand (40,000) families and give each family the happy sum of twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars. It is our firm opinion that if the powers that be, do not grappled with this question of gigantic fortunes and oppression of the masses we shall have a repetition of some of the mighty revolutions of the past wherein Kings and Queens were made to bite the dust. Or take another view of it. Suppose we leave Mr. Rockefeller's vast fortune intact but ask him to give one per cent, of its earning value to the poor families of Ohio whose prospective fortune were wrecked by the activities of the Standard Oil Company, you could give five thousand (5,000) families, two thousand dollars a year, which would restore again a part of that taken by this giant Trust. Macedonia Baptist Church Is Rejoicing Over The Conversion Of Fifty-two Persons—The Meeting Was Conducted By Rev. Thomas Wright. Macedonia Baptist Church, West Saratoga street, near Mount, has just closed one of the most remarkable and successful revival meetings in the history of the church, the results of which Rev. D. G. Mack and the congregation of Macedonia are rejoicing greatly. The meeting was conducted by Rev. Thomas Wright, of King and Queen County, Va. Rev. Wright is noted for his forcible manner in presenting the Gospel and very few [Image of a man with a mustache and wavy hair, wearing a suit and tie]. REV. THOMAS WRIGHT. persons coming under the influence of his preaching can well escape. The result of his efforts was 52 persons converted and 28 others who were not members of any church since coming to this city, also uniting with the church. TO HAVE DAY NURSERY The hardworking mothers of this city may have their weary hearts relieved somewhat in the near future for the Day Nursery Association is now endeavoring to purchase he large house, with side yard, at 953 Druid Hall avenue. When the house is secured arrangements will be made to take care of a number of children of working mothers. Mrs. Cornelia Anderson, who is interested in the project, says: "Perhaps but few of us realize the need of a nursery where the children of working women can be properly cared for during the day. Many times several small children are left in charge of one slightly older, and there is the great risk of fire or other accident. We purpose to take the little ones during the day, and thus in a measure relieve the anxiety of those mothers who must go out to work during the day." Home to be Sold. Negotiations are now in progress for the sale of the Aged Men and Women's Home, of the Washington Conference on Lee street, to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. This home is supported by the different Methodist Episcopal churches of this city and has been in existence for a number of years. It is said that the Home will in all probability seek a location in the Northwestern section of the city, after the negotiations are complete. rangements. Announcement of a national tuberculosis Sunday to be held on April 24th in 215,000 churches of the United States was made today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Following campaign against Consumption that have been carried on in the curches of hundreds of cities and sermons on tuberculosis that have been preached before thousands of congregations during the past year, a movement has been started to established a permanent tuberculosis'Sunday, on which it is hoped that every one of the 33,000,000 church-goers in the United States will hear the gospel of health. It is planned to enlist the active cooperation of anti-tuberculosis organizations, labor unions, fraternal organizations, and other bodies together with the churches in the movement. The aid of leading churchmen in many of the principal denominations have already been offered. All of the large interdenominational bodies, such as the Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, the King's Daughters and Sons and the various young people's societies are also in sympathy with the anti-tuberculosis campaign. It is planned that on April 24th, tuberculosis sermons shall be preached in all the churches of the country. Literature will be distributed to members of the congregations, and in every way an effect will be made to teach that tuberculosis is a dangerous disease and that it can be prevented and cured. Clergymen who desire to obtain additional information in regard to tuberculosis will be able to score literature from State and local antituberculosis associations and boards of health, as well as from the National Association. OUTLINES PLAN FOR CHARITY Dr. Bragg Urges That Churches Co-operate For Charitable Work—Rev. G. R. Waller Hits At "Tuskegee Interests"—Other News Of Ministerial Alliance. Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr., rector of St. James P. E. Church, in a paper on "Our Charitable Institutes," before the monthly meeting of the Ministerial Alliance last Monday at Grace Presbyterian Church outlined a scheme for constructive charitable work by various city churches. He urged that each church should organized to do its charitable work, and suggested that each church to choose a member of an advisory committee on church charities. While each church, he said, could work along its own individual lines, co-operation could be made along a number of lines. "With such endeavor," continued Dr. Bragg, "upon the part of the individual church, and consultation and co-operation upon the part of all the churches. Those eminent gentlemen who seldom frequent our churches or our preaches' meetings, except occasionally to stir up our minds by way of remembrance; would then have presented to them a new field of endeavor, which, sadly enough, has been too long neglected. Such appeals on their part to the ministry and to the churches being wholly unnecessary, they could turn their attention to systematic labor and effort among their brethren of the Negro race who seldom see within the portals of a house of religious worship, such as saloonkeepers, sporting men, many of the lodge brethren, and the highly cultured class, whose think they have advanced beyond the need of taking up the cross daily and following the Blessed Master." Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines, who discussed the paper, sai! that such colleges as Atlanta University were discriminated against by the Northern philantropists, their money going principally to industrial schools. Rev. Dr. G. R. Waller, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, declared that the Ogden movement only helped those colored schools that were in line with what he called the "Luskegee interests," asserting that every effort was made to keep the "Tuskegee interests" dominant. Notes for this column addressed to Mr. Beckett, care of this office, will receive careful attention.-Ed. The High School track team had a cross country run last Thursday. The lads are getting in for the spring meet in Washington. Next Saturday the basketball squad of the High School, plays "Howard Preps" in Washington. A last game is anticipated, the local lads having developed greatly in the fine points of the game. Is not health just as important to the girl and woman as it is to the boy and man? Then give the feminine sex a chance to develop strong healthy bodies. Plans are on foot to construct a "Recreation House" at West Park. The purpose is to provided a place that will be a source of constant good in the community in keeping the youth of the neighborhood from idleness and giving them useful and healthful recreation. Where does the Negro spend his leisure time? Is there such a place for our boys and men? Here the Y. M. C. A. can perform a needy work. The community should support one. The major league teams are getting in shape and time will reveal things. The girls' basketball squad is still in action at the High School, tho it has lost several good players by graduation. Capt. Johnson, Susie Elliott and Ellen Dutton will be missed. Tennis is in the minds of some enthusiasts and undoubtedly it will be productive of much good. Several interested individuals are organizing a basketball team to play a series of games here and elsewhere. We are glad to see this sport spreading. Association football is being used by several baseball squads to develop wind and to limber up stiffened muscles. A trial meet will be held soon to test the ability of the track squad at C. H. S. What is wealth without health? What is mind without body? What is strength without sense? What is energy without care? Answer these questions by practical living. ANNUAL SERMON TO KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS The Eastern And Western Wing Of The Knights Of Pythias, Celebrated Its Forty-six Anniversary With A Sermon. Last Sunday night at 7.30 o'clock Thomas W. Stringer Lodge, No. 4, and Lily of the Valley Court, No. 1, assembled at Waters A. M. E. Church to hear one of the greatest sermons on the principles of the Order that they ever heard in the city. The occasion being the forty-six anniversary of the founding of the Order. Rev. J. M. King, of Middletown, Delaware, was invited by the Sir Knights and Courts of Calanthe to preach the sermon, and it was a masterly effort. It was the greatest sermon on Pythiasism heard in this city for a long while. Our members, both Sir Knights and Calanthes, turned out quite strong, notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather, and made a fine showing. A pretty fair collection was given in the interest o the King's Daughters and Sons. After the services quite a number of the Sir Knights and Calanthes returned home with Sir Solomon Tripp and Sister Tripp, and spent quite an enjoyable time. Refreshments were served. On Monday evening, Mrs. Tripp gave a tea in honor of Rev. King. Among those present were Mr. Wm. Noble, Mrs. Jennie H. Ross and Mrs. Cornelia S. Snyder. Dr. Thomas Lectures. Rev. Dr. J. L. Thomas, field agent of the Colored Extension Society and Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered a lecture on "Ike Jones and John Smith," before The Epworthin League of Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church last Thurs- fore about Lawyer J. Vance Lewis, and he is a lawyer too, one of the best of our race in this country. He came into this world via Louisiana little more than forty-five years ago, and reached the age of fifteen years before he knew the difference between A and B. He got busy though and fitted himself for work. He went out to Michigan, and got some law in the Ann Arbor law school, then he finished in the Chicago college of law, and went over to London, England, and put on some more. He is permitted to tell his law in all the courts of the state and the United States Supreme Court. I am proud of this. Ten years ago J. Vance Lewis start- M. E. B. J. VANCE LEWIS. ed the practice of law in Texas without a dollar, and now it is said that his real estate alone is valued at $39,000. I told you about Van Court in another letter. I was talking to his clerk, and was informed by that individual that his practice brings him an income of $15,000 every year. During the past 8 years he has enjoyed a good criminal practice and in that time he cleared 48 men charged with murder. I have used this to inspire others to prepare for business. From Houston I stepped down to Lamarque, had a short talk with my private secretary about my trip to England. There is no question about it now. I have fully decided to go. Prof. M. W. Dogan, president of Wiley gave me a check for $10 to help me on my trip. I want to thank him for it. Hev. L. G. Jordon, of Louisville, has sent me $3.00. Now you see I have $20. Then at night I started for this place I will tell you about the bank and other places when I go back to Houston. I am now here and the guest of Rev. I. A. Carr. Saturday morning I had the pleasure of meeting the teachers from Belton, Temple and Bartlett, and enjoyed being with them. I would like to say more about them but I am going to write you another letter next week. Send all mail to me to Waxahachie, I. A. Carr. Miss Mabel Elizabeth Naylor, daughter of Rev. Dr. M. J. Naylor, Superintendent of the Baltimore District of the Washington Conference, died at the house of her parents, 2109 Druid Hill avenue, last Monday. Miss Naylor was born in Washington, 16 years ago, and had been in ill health for 18 months. Besides her father, she is survived by her mother and five sisters. The funeral took place at Ames Memorial M. E. Church, Wednesday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Dr. D.W. Hayes, assisted by Revs. J. A. Holmes, E. S. Williams, William Brown, W. A. C. Hughes and others. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Mr. G. N. Butler, of 925 Bolton street, who has been quite sick, is improving and will be out in a few days.

Church Celebrate Fifty-Eighth Anniversary of The Baltimore Preachers' Meeting-Bethel a Pioneer In Advanced Church Work The fifty-eighth anniversary of the Baltimore Preachers' Meeting of the A, M. E. Church, was celebrated at Trinity A. M. E. Church Wednesday night. There were almost one thousand persons present, including Bishop Levi J.Coppin and nearly all the A. M. E. Ministers in and around the city. An interesting literary and musical program was rendered. Bishop Coppin delivered an address on "The Ministry, Hebrew and Christian." Speaking of the purchase of a new place of worship by Bethel A. M. E. Church the Bishop said that the Bishops' Council, at its meeting in Vickersburg, Miss., the other day, voted to help Bethel financially. He also said that the union between Bethel and St. John's churches had been consummated, and that a ratification meeting would be held in the near future. Rev. J. W. Norris read an historical sketch, reviewing the work of Preachers' Meeting, and mentioning its illustrious members of by gone days. Rev. A. L. Gaines in an address on "Bethel Extending Her Landmark," said: "Bethel's contribution in churches is Ebbenzer, St. John, Trinity, Allen, Payue, Handy Chapel, Waters and other missions. Nine of her pastors have succeeded to the Episcopacy. She is a pioneer in church architecture for the race in Baltimore, the corner-stone of the present handsome structure being laid on August 2,1847, when Bishop Payne was pastor. She is the pioneer in church music use in Baltimore. Bishop Payne went to Washington in 1849 and secured the services of James Fleet, the leading colored musician in that city in that day, as director of the choir. He, in turn, secured the services of Miss Fiza Euston, the soprano; Miss Pamie Fisher, the alto; Mr. James Wormley, the bass violinist, and Mrs. Hermion Fleet, the leading organist of that day. Mr. Fleet shortly afterward held the first sacred concert ever held in a colored church in Baltimore." After speaking of the many movements launched in the church for the public good Dr. Gaines declared that every church would cooperate with Bethel in their new house of worship. The combined choirs of the several A. M. E. churches furnished the music. Misses Julia Cooper and Mabe Marlowe spent Saturday and Sunday of last week in Washington, D. C., visiting friends.

One can easily imagine that after feeding for many weeks upon hippopotamus steaks, the flesh of elephants and other coarse food of that nature fish of almost any variety would form an agreeable and pleasant change. Such, at all events, was the opinion of Sir Samuel Baker, who, after a long march in Africa, through a wild and dangerous country, arrived upon the borders of a broad river. He took his fishing rod, and wandering up stream cast his line over the water in the hope of enticing some beauty of the deep to take issue with him. "I put on a large bait and threw it about forty yards into the river, well up the stream, and allowed the float to sweep the water in a half circle, thus taking the chance of different distances from the shore. "For about half, an hour nothing moved, I was just preparing to alter my position when out rushed my line, and striking hard, I believe I fixed the 'old gentleman' himself, for I had no control over him whatever. "Holding him was out of the question. The line flew through my hands and cut them till the blood flowed, and I was obliged to let the fish take his own way. "This he did for about eighty yards when he suddenly stopped. This unexpected halt was a great calamity, for the reel overran itself, having no check wheel, and the slack coils of the line caught the handle just as he rushed forward again, and with a jerk that nearly pulled the rod from my hands he was gone. "I found one of my large hooks broken short off. The fish was a monster. "After this bad luck I had no run until the evening, when, putting on a large bait and fishing at the tail of a rock between the stream and still water, I once more had a grand rush and hooked a big one. "There were no rocks down stream, all was fair play and clear water, and away he went at racing pace straight for the middle of the river. To check the pace, I grasped the line with the stuff of my loose trousers and pressed it between my fingers so as to act as a rake and compel him to labor for every yard, but he pulled like a horse and nearly cut through the thick cotton cloth, making straight running for at least a hundred yards without a halt. "I now put so severe a strain upon him that my strong bamboo bent nearly double, and the fish presently so far yielded to the pressure that I could enforce his running in half circles instead of straight away. "I kept gaining line until at length I led him into a shallow bay, and after a fight Bacheet embraced him by falling upon him, and clutching the monster with hands and knees, he then tugged to the shore a magnificent fish of upward of sixty pounds. "For about twenty minutes he had fought against such a strain as I had never before used upon a fish. It measured three feet eight inches to the root of the tail, and two feet three inches in girth of shoulders, and the head measured one foot ten inches in circumference."—Youth's Companion. No Siesta in Manila Now. The Spaniard damned us for one new custom in particular when we went into business in Manila. We didn't take well to the siesta hour. It was no part of our business curriculum. Also it was one of the few logical things that the American absolutely refused to take into consideration by dovetailing it into his commercial institution and bylaws. Promptly at the noon hour in the early days in Philippine cities merchants scurried home behind their liveried coachmen, while their employees ducked along out of the sun or rain to their boarding places. The store or office, as the case might be, was locked up tight. It so remained while the force dined and took its afternoon nap. About 2 o'clock the commercial world awakened again, rubbed its bloodshot eyes, rinsed its mouth of a dark brown taste, and grouchily returned to the tasks at the desk or behind the counter. Nowadays few stores close at noon. All are anxious for the extra pesos the American hoped to get by keeping open doors at midday. — Monroe Woolley, in the Bookkeeper. Bridget's Explanation. Bridget, who had administered the culinary affairs of the Morse household for many years, was sometimes torn between her devotion to her mistress and loyalty to the small son of the house. "Bridget," said Mrs. Morse in a tone of wonder after an inspection of the storeroom, "where have those splendid red apples gone that the man brought yesterday—those four big ones? "Well, now, ma'am," said poor Bridget, "I couldn't rightly say, but I'm thinking if you were to find out where my loaf o' hot gingerbread is; likely those four red apples would be lyn' right on top of it, an' I'm only hopin' his little inside can stand the strain." -Tit-Bits. 4 P.

Institution Recently Started by the Children's Aid Society of New York Gives Instruction in Many Industrial Subjects. Opportunity For Self Help Appreciated by Our People. The Henrietta Evening Industrial School For Afro-Americans, which was opened about four months ago at 224 West Sixty-third street, New York, under the auspices of the Children's Aid society of the city, is doing a commendable work. That our people fully appreciate the advantages of such a school is shown from the fact that the average attendance nightly is 200. The students are in age from fifteen to thirty, and a more zealous company of seekers after knowledge could hardly be found in any institution anywhere. There are also a few Russians and Germans in attendance. The work has been planned with the object of giving to those who live in the San Juan hill section industrial training that will render them more independent and useful and of more economic value to themselves and the community. The class work is conducted every evening from 7 to 9 in a commodious building owned by the society. There are separate rooms for the various classes. The faculty numbers sixteen. Mrs. W. R. Collins is the principal. Once a week Dr. Borland of the People's University Extension society attends the school and gives practical first aid to the injured to students. It is the aim of the school to give industrial training in as many branches as possible. The school work is divided into twelve departments—dressmaking, millinery, trained nursing, model housekeeping, training for janitors, class for men in restaurant cooking, class for girls in making underwear, class in domestic science, shoemaking, carpentering, basket making, chair caining and a class in grade work. There is on the top floor of the building a model flat consisting of three rooms—a general living room, bedroom and kitchen—which is used in connection with the class in model housekeeping. This flat was fitted up entirely by the students, and they are taught to work in it and keep it in good condition. The boys' club is a feature of this work that has just been started. It was found that in a number of instances where the fathers or mothers attended evening classes the boys, left to themselves, loafed around on the streets, and the boys' club was formed in order that the parents might bring the boys with them to the school. Discussing the work of the school recently, the principal said: "The work has grown far in excess of our expectations. We have been conducting classes only about three months, and we have all the pupils that can be handled with our present equipment. We saw the need of the school, but the people of the section have responded with a readiness beyond our most sanguine hopes." GIFTED YOUNG PIANIST. Liberal Aid For Girl Who Surprised Chicago Musical Circles. The appearance of Miss Hazel Harrison, a young Afro-American girl of Laporte, Ind., in a musical recital at Chicago recently revealed the fact that she is possessed of phenomenal ability as a pianist. The daily papers of the city paid high tribute of praise to Miss Harrison, with the intimation that it would be a fine thing for some philanthropist to aid her financially in order that she might complete her musical education. It has been learned since that two wealthy women of Chicago have given $4,000 to Miss Harrison, who is now said to be planning to go to Europe, where she will complete her studies at the best conservatories on the continent. Thus we score again in the higher realms of learning. The whole race appreciates the donors for their generosity. Two Brilliant Students at Bowdoin. There are two Afro-Americans in the senior class at Bowdoin college, in Maine-Samuel Herman Dreecar of Washington and Arthur Alexander Madison of Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Dreecar has recently been elected to membership in the German society, the Deutscher Verein, election to which is based on rank. Mr. Madison has also made a splendid record in his studies and expects to make teaching his profession. Allegheny Baptists Indorse Y. M. C. A. By giving its indorssement to the Young Men's Christian association movement among our people in Pittsburg the executive board of the Allegheny (Pa.) General Baptist association at a meeting recently held in the Triumph Baptist church, Sewickley, Pa. scored another point in favor of bettering conditions among the young men of Pittsburg. Coming Y. M. C. A. Basketball Games. The basketball first team of the Carlton avenue branch of the Brooklyn, Y. M. C. A. will play the Montclair (N. J.) Y. M. C. A. team at Avon hall, on Beaford avenue, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, March 8. Carlton's second team will also play the Lettia Athletic club on the same evening at High Honor For Estelle E. Gibbs Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Gibbs of Hoboken, N. J., Wins First Prize For Highest Average Over Thousands of White Pupils—Gold Medal Presented by Mayor Gonzales. No greater encouragement comes to the race at this time along educational lines than the splendid records which our youths, young men and women, are making in their studies in the various high schools and academies. In English and the higher branches of learning, in athletic pursuits, music and art many of them have scored signal victories. It all goes to show that where equal opportunity is given, home training and environment being similar, Afro-Americans are just as capable of grasping and retaining literal, manual or industrial subjects as any other class of persons. The recent triumph of Miss Estelle E. Gibbs of Hoboken, N. J., over the entire school population of 10,000 whites in making the highest average in her studies is sufficient evidence to prove the truthfulness of the above statement. At the graduating exercises of the public school Miss Gibbs was awarded the first prize, a gold medal. Her average in six subjects was 99.13 per cent. She is the only Afro-American girl in Hoboken who has ever achieved such honors and the only one who has graduated from the grammar school to the high school. In all of her studies save one Miss Gibbs received 100 per cent. In geography her mark was 96. In history, civics, spelling, arithmetic and grammar she was perfect. In the test examination Miss Gibbs selected the hardest questions. She is also gifted in music, which subject she has given much attention, and instead of pursuing a further literary course she will devote her time to the study and teaching of music. This victory, bow- A MISS ESTELLE E. GIBBS. ever, was not won without hard study, for it is said that the girl spent little or no time with other matters. She went in to win; her aim was fixed; her standard was high, and she worked up to it. As has already been stated, home training and environment mean much to the pupil that achieves special distinction in his studies. Mrs. J. F. Gibbs, mother of Estelle, is herself an educated woman, having been graduated from the Bishop Payna Divinity and Industrial school, Petersburg, Va., before coming north. The encouragement of parents goes a long way toward shaping the aims and purposes of their children. We must let our children feel that we are with them in their efforts to advance themselves along right lines in morals, religion and occupation. We should know their difficulties and assist them in overcoming them; we should know their weak places and aim to strengthen them; their aspirations and help them on the road to success. With these essential elements kept steadily in view there should be no fear or misgivings as to the feature status of our race in the various callings in life. The Letitia Athletic club, composed of about sixteen young men of the senior department of the Concord Baptist Sunday school, is now a member of the Sunday School Athletic League of Brooklyn. The club was organized two years ago. The young men are members of the same Bible class which is taught by Dacon R. Lincoln Powell. It is the largest club of Afro-Americans in the league. They Are Wrong on the Main Point. Some of our people think that the church, like the nation, must at some time engage in war in order to perfect peace, but they are wrong on the main point. The church must ever be militant until it joins the church triumphant. INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR FEBRUARY 27. Subject: False and True Discipleship, Matt. 7:13-29—Commit Verses 13, 14 GOLDEN TEXT. "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven." Matt. 7:21. TIME. "Midsummer A. D. 28. PLACE. "Horns of Hattin." EXPOSITION.—I. The Broad and the Narrow Way, 13, 14. Two gates and two roads beyond them; one gate and road narrow and few traveling that way, but they lead to life; the other gate and road broad and largely patronized, but they lead to destruction. Take the narrow gate and road, says Jesus. The average man or woman wishes to go with the crowd. If you do you will go to "destruction." Jesus says. Do you wish to know what the narrow gate and road are? Read ch. 2:3, 3; 18:2, 3; Acts 2:38; Jno. 3:2, 5; Jno. 1:12; Ro. 10:9, 10; Isa. 55:7; Jno. 10:9, 14:6; 2 Cor. 6:17, 18; Ro. 12:2. The road to life, though narrow, is pleasant (Prov. 3:17), and the other way, though broad, is hard (Prov. 3:15). II. Beware of False Prophets, 15-20. That there should be false professors and false teachers in the world should cause us neither surprise nor dismay. Jesus predicted from the beginning that it should be so, and the fact that it is so, is simply a confirmation of the truth of His Word. Jesus commands us to beware of false prophets, men who profess to speak for God, but who in reality are speaking for the devil. There never was a day in which that demand was more needed than to-day. In outward guise they may be meek, but there is a ravenous heart within. One said to me not long ago of a very dangerous false teacher, "But he is so gentle." A wolf is never more dangerous than when he masquerades in sheep's clothing (cf. 2 Cor. 11:13, 14). What are men "inwardly," that is the question. How can we tell? By their fruits. What is the fruit of the prophet's teaching? Is it grapes and figs, or thorns and thistles? Tried by this Christ-given test, much that is lauded in our day as "advanced thought" is found to be error. Many have had their fingers pricked by the thorns and thistles that were supposed to grapes and figs. But the all important question for each of us is, what kind of fruit am I myself bearing? The only way to bear good fruit is to have a good tree. The only way to lead a holy life is by having a regenerate heart, a heart thoroughly under the control of the Spirit of God (cf. Gal. 5:19-23). One of the greatest errors of our day is trying to make bad trees bring forth good fruit. We attempt to save men by mere ethical culture instead of going to the root of the matter and insisting on regeneration. If a man is born again, he is bound to bring forth good fruit. "Every good tree bringeth forth good fruit." If a man is not born again, he is bound to bring forth evil fruit. A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit. A man must be born again to see or enter the kingdom (John 3:3-5; 1 John 2:9, 10). It is not enough to bear bad fruit. "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire." There are no exceptions, "every tree." III. Calling Jesus "Lord" and Obeying Jesus as Lord, 21-23. It is not calling Jesus Lord, but doing God's will that makes us fit for the kingdom. If we really make Jesus Lord, we will do the Father's will. The first point in the Father's will is that we believe on Him (Jesus) whom He hath sent (John 6:28, 29). Even up to the judgment day there will be many who count themselves His because they call Him "Lord, Lord," but who will find out that after all they were not His. It is plainly suggested that one man even achieve wonders in the name of Jesus, who has no saving knowledge of Jesus Himself (cf. 1 Cor. 13:2). There are many to-day pointing to the persons "healed" through their ministry as God's seal of approval upon their ministry as God's seal of approval ministry. It is evident from vs. 22, 23, that this is not conclusive proof. Indeed, people holding the most antagonistic positions, alike point to healing as the sign of God's approval, but which of the antagonistic positions is it that God is approving? No amount of wonders performed will prove one who neither holds the doctrines, nor manifests the Spirit of Christ, the Teacher sent from God. IV. Building on the Rock and Building on the Sand, 22-20. The only rock which will stand for eternity is Christ (Isa, 26:4, R. V.; 28:16; 1 Cor. 3:11). We build upon Him by listening to what He says and then doing it. Merely hearing Christ's savings and not doing them will not save; hearing and doing will save (cf. John 5:24). We build upon Jesus by believing in Him and we show that we believe in Him by obeying Him. Any faith that does not lead to obedience is not faith. The one who hears Him and obeys Him builds upon the Rock. Testing times will come, the rain will descend, the floods will come, the winds will blow and beat upon him, but he will not fall for he is founded upon the Rock. The one who hears but does not do may seem to be building upon the same foundation, but the time of testing will show that he is a foolish man and built upon the sand. THE FIDGETY BACHELOR. "But why do you put your friend's things in the dining-room?" "Oh, he is so used to restaurants that he won't enjoy his dinner unless he can watch his hat and coat."—Louisville Courier-Journal. "Wind," wrote a little boy in his composition at school, "is air when it gets in a hurry." Everybody's. WORTH QUOTING When a boy wears a pair of new shoes without protest, it is an indication, to the Atchison Globe, that he is going away on the cars. The two worst diseases in the world, declares the Pittsburg Dispatch, are inflammatory rheumatism and inflammatory tempers. The fellow who makes the most noise, defines the Philadelphia Record, doesn't always have a sound mind. The Duke de Abruzzi may have had his reasons for naming a distant, snow-clad peak "The Fiance," sneers the San Francisco Chronicle. Iceboats have long been in use, and now a German inventor has patented a simple sail vehicle, which makes fair progress over good roads. The girl who works hardest in decorating the church, notes the Atchison Glebe, can usually be depended on to be a poor worker at home "Chauffeur Married to a Suffragette," is the headline in an esteemed contemporary, cites the Rochester Post-Express. Who shall say that sometimes the gods do not meet our justice? The only inscription on the corner stone of the giant new municipal building will be the date in Roman numerals, MCMIX. That is all very well, contends the New York Tribune, so long as it is not mistaken for a monument to some New York states man. It is quite possible that in a future age the question will arise. Who was McMix? Cleveland's example in forbidding theatrical managers to permit late comers to take their seats during the progress of the play illustrates again the simplicity of the Western mind to the New York World. To appear at the opera on time, Cleveland may not know, is as bad form as to remain silent during the performance If anybody is getting rich out of the increase, in prices submits the Denver Republican, it must be the farmers, and they certainly are in no trust. The land is open, the road to the farms a broad one, and whoever will may join the ranks of the producers. The trouble is that altogether too many are satisfied to stay on in the cities as consumers, taking their chances in bidding on what the farmer raises to sell, and letting prices of room rent, house rent, coal, porterhouse steak, pork chops and potatoes make any new record they please so long as only we can side-step the simple life. With the launching of the Utah we have another Dreadnought, a fact that should make those who have been reading alarmist literature and dreaming of invasion sleep a little more comfortably of nights, declares the Boston Transcript. When the Utah's sister ship, the Florida goes into the water the list of States available for naming vessels of this class will be pretty near exhaustion. It is proposed to make room for Texas by changing the old Texas to the Dallas. The paint brush has made changes in the names of the single turreted monitors that leave room for a few States to be represented in battle ship nomenclature. If you should write a letter to the man who is chief magistrate of this republic, you are at liberty to address him as "the President, Washington, D. C." That will be sufficient. insists the Boston Globe. He is not "His Excellency," as is the supreme executive magistrate of this commonwealth, nor "His High Mightiness," a title which, they say, sounded pleasing to the car of the "Father of His Country." But if you should write a letter to the secretary of state of the United States, whom the plain "President" appointed to the job, prepare to dip your pen in honorable ink. While Mr. Taft is plain "President," without any titular epaulets, his secretary of state is "the Honorable Secretary of State." It will not do to address him as "the Secretary of State" simply. He is something more than that. The etiquette of the state department requires that the word "Honorable" be prefixed to the word "Secretary." Even J. J. Hill, who fears that our agriculture is failing, submits the Philadelphia Ledger, may take comfort in the computation that the number of farms in the United States has increased 18 per cent. in the last ten years, nearly a million new farms being created in that period. Notwithstanding the tendency to the analgation of small farms into larger holdings, there are said to be three times as many farms now as there were in 1870, while their values are at least two and a half times as great. The aggregate valuation of farms, buildings and stock is estimated as something like thirty billions of dollars, a gain of 44 per cent in ten years. These figures, which are compiled by the American Agriculturist, are in general accord with those of the Department of Agriculture. They are especially interesting in the prominence they give to the increase of separate holdings, thus answering the very frequent wall that the American farmer is losing his inde- Superior Hair Dressing HIGHLY PERFUMED.

There was a time when “plain liv- ing” required as little definition as “high thinking” still does. But, alas, with the science of dietetics the troubles of the poor layman have steadily multiplied. He hardly knows what to eat, or how. Here is a London expert advising him to “eut out” potatoes from his diet without regard or mercy. Pota- toes, the aforesaid savant asserts, causes chronic dyspepsia, depression, worry and premature death; they contain no nutriment and overtax the digestive apparatus; the idea of eat- ing them is too absurd to be toler- ated another day. Now the potato has been a god- send to millions in times of famine, and it has figured prominently in all plans for the simple life—compulsory or preferred. If, however, it is really the cause of pessimism and nerveous- ness—disvases of the age, as they have Leen called—we must not put it on the index of forbidden foods for the seke of the joy of life. But are we not entitled to ask for something like a unanimous verdict of the spec- ialist jury? How about the perplexity and pessimism caused by divided opinion on things that so closely con- cern us as the potato does?—Chicago Record-Heraid. Permanent Position. “Mr, Smith," spoke up the young lawyer, “I came here as a representa- tive of your neighbor, Tom Jones, with the commission to collect a debt due him.” “I congratulate you,” answered Mr. Smith, ‘‘on obtaining so perman- nent a job at such an early stage in your career.""—Success.

Now we are to have a theatre all our own, and it is stated in perfect confidence that before the first of May ground will be broken on Pennsylvania avenue for a theatre that will be open to all, white and colored alike, for colored theatres do it as a rule discriminate against ite folks. The new theatre will have a seating capacity of about 1500, and will have all the newest designs in stage works and appliances. It will be managed, it is said, by Daly and Faulkner, who have made such a success of Daly's Theatre on Pennsylvania avenue and Greenwillow street, and also the moving picture parlor higher up on Pennsylvania avenue. Such attractions as Cole and Johnson, Madam Sissieretta, Jones, the Black Patti; Williams and his "Mr. Lode of Koal," and several other first-class attractions will be booked. It will be conducted on the highest order and will be a credit to the colored people of this city. Washington is also to have a new theatre under the same management A Dinner Partv.
