THEAFRICAN LEDGER. VOL. XVIII. NO. 22. "I THANK GOD THAT I AM NOT A WHITE MAN" A LYNCHING IN WHICH THE WHOLE COUNTRY SIDE WAS INVITED TO COME AND TAKE PART The Judge Ready To Try The Man For A Crime He Was Supposed To Have Committed—Lawmakers Go Through A Farce In Protecting Their Prisoner—The Black Brother Leads The Way In Battering Down The Doors—Does Not Think The White Man A Superior Race. Texarkana, Ark.—I thank God that I am not a white man, and I would not be one for my claim in heaven, and I mean every word of it. You people who pick up the paper and read this letter cannot have the least conception of what prompts me to say this nor can you see my very soul when I am writing these few lines this week. I was in Dallas last week, going from Waxahachie to that point, and I saw a lot of heathens, for there is no person on earth who can convince me that they were civilized. There was one Negro in the crowd, and I hardly know what to say about him. I hang my head in shame, and pray to our Heavenly Father to have mercy on the souls of all who were in that lynching party. I am getting tired of seeing lynchings, and I think the next time there will be some trouble. I believe I am going to hurt some one. Now it seems that a few weeks ago, a little girl three years old was outraged, and later they found a black man about 58 years old, and fixed the crime on him. He was spirited away by the sheriff for safekeeping. They said they would have a speed trial and get rid of him in a hurry. Thursday, March 3, was the time set for trial, and long before the hour for trial the "Red Necks" crowded into the town. The night before and early in the morning. It was announced long before the day set for trial that the "nigger" would be lynched and friends were invited to come to see it. They did come, and in the language of Dunbar, "as thick as chillun when dey hear de fife and drum." No circus ever attracted a larger crowd of men, women and children on the streets. Not to see an elephant and clown, but the taking of a human life. They had time to get a whole regiment before, but the lawmakers had about reached the conclusion not to antagonize the white folks and not to kill one of them for breaking the law, so they let it go. They went through a farce of preparing to protect the Negro. Put up chains over the stairway, roped it and the like—just like children. Then the judge took his seat in his big chair and Allen Brooks, the accused was in the grand jury room. The crowd was on the outside, and as soon as the signal was given the rush was made. The black brother was in the lead and was the first to attack the door. They soon had the door down, and some fellow raised the window and from the ward a rope was thrown up. It had the knot already, and it was thrown around the neck of Brooks, and he was thrown from the second story to the street amidst the shouting, yelling and waving mob. At once a crowd of human demons grabbed the rope and started up the street dragging their victim for some distance. They then stretched the lifeless body up on main street, and some men climbed the pole and kicked the body. Not a shot was fired. Now,this is the "sup rior" white man, the man who declares that God made him to rule, to lead, to manaxe affairs. Ho is the maker of law, he is the executor of law, he is judge and jury, and yet he is not able to enforce the law. It is dangerous, for a man whose skin is black to get arrest [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. REALIZED LARGE SUM FOR RALLY REV. A. L. MARTIN HAS RAISED OVER THIRTY-THREE THOUS- AND DOLLARS (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Cambridge, Md., March 10.—Rev. A. L. Martin, pastor of Waugh M. E. church, is now closing up his affairs at the ending of a twelve year term here as pastor. His pastorate has been most successful, during that time he has raised and expended over $33,000. The present church was built at an expense of over $17,000, there is only $5,600 remaining and there is in bank $4,000 of that amount, leaving practically only $1,600 to pay. The American Congress and Queens Coronation, a three weeks rally movement netted $505.87. The white friends have been very kind to him and his church. Mr. Carnegie giving $900 on the $1,800 organ and other white friends over $1,700. The Rev. Martin may not return, as he thinks 12 years long enough in one pastorate, although there is a strong sentiment among both white and colored to have him returned. The services at Bethel A. M. E. church last Sunday were well attended. An elaborate program has been prepared for the Easter celebration. Mrs. H. M. StClair who has been quite sick is improving. Mr. William Lewis Williams, of Westover, was in town this week. Services at Emory A. M. E. church Sunday were very interesting. Rev. A J. Ward and people are arranging for their fourth quarterly conference. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS NEEDED Washington. March 10—Mr. Lewis E Johnson, secretary of the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A., has just returned from Cleveland, Ohio, where he has been assisting the white Y. M. C. A., in raising a half million dollars for their new building. The immense building which is now under roof on 12th street must be furnished and it will require at least $50,000 to put it in condition for occupancy. This sum can be raised and Mr. Johnson and Rev. Moorland are confident that the money can be raised. Steps have been taken to secure several substantial conditional donations before the strenuous work of another campaign shall be undertaken. PASTOR IS OFF FOR CONFERENCE Port Deposit, Md., March 10. -Now that all apprehensions of 'another flood has passed the people are beginning to breathe freer and have commenced in dead earnest to get things in shape again. Rev J. Hilton, pastor of Howard M. E. chapel, is winding up a very success ful year's work, and leaves next Tuesday for conference. He will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday night. Mr. Henry Jews of, Cokesbury, who has a very severe attack of typhoid-pneumonia is slowly improving. The Brown quartet gave a very pleasant entertainment last night and received many favorable comments. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1910.

Bishop Henry Spellmeyer, of St. Louis, will assign Dr. Mason to speak in one of our largest and richest white churches. The extra special trius advertised in advance for Saturday were not sufficient to bring the crowds to the seashor. The weather being warm, furs and wraps were discarded, and the fair sex were seen in all their new spring glory. The leading Easter attractions this year will be the annual horse show on Young's million dollar pier, and the baseball game between the University of Penn and Yale.

Metropolitan Church Crowded to Hear The Distinguished Speakers—Was A Great Night For A. M. E. Educational Institution Supreme Court Justice Harlan Makes An Address—He Refers to Frederick Douglass And Evokes Great Applause. Bureau of the Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St., N. W. Washington, March 4—"Wilberforce night" at Metropolitan A. M. E. church last night was one of the biggest events Washington has ever known. The spacious auditorium was packed shortly after the doors were opened, and hundreds turned away. The meeting was held under the auspices of Bethel Literary and Historical Association and the Wilberforce Alumni of Washington. Its primary object was to assist in raising $17,500 in order to secure a like amount from Andrew Carnegie, to be applied to the erection of a girl's dormitory at Wilberforce University, the oldest institution of learning for Negroes and by Negroes in the country. President Taft was the principal speaker, and his address was in an unusually happy vein. He lauded the work of Wilberforce and expressed the deepest interest in the movement for higher learning among Negroes. He spoke earnestly of the crying need of trained leaders to direct the energies and activities of the race along lines promotive of the greatest efficiency, and declared that the ministers, teachers doctors, and all who have to do with the moral, material and hygienic welfare of their people should possess the highest intellectual and professional education that could be obtained. He emphasized the fact that the intelligent and skilled worker in any field is preferred to the ignorant and unskilled. He disagreed vigorously with that element in this country who claim that money spent for the higher learning of the Negro is money wasted. Altogether the address is regarded as the most outspoken declaration that President Taft has yet made respecting the university education for the Negro. He was warmly greeted upon his arrival and the salient points of his address were applauded to the echo. Justice John M. Harlan of the U. S. Supreme Court spoke felicitously and referred to the tremendous responsibility rotting upon the white people for the correct solution of the race problem that has come to them through peculiar circumstances. Said he: "We must be awakened, both whites and blacks, to our duty towards Wilberforce and the Negro, who before the law is the equal of any of us." Justice Harlan's tribute to the power of Fred-rick Douglas as an orator and man of affairs evoked a storm of aplause. Other speakers were Senator Chas. Dick, of Ohio; Rev. John Hurst financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church and W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce. President Taft made a subscription to the building fund of the University the amount of which was not announced. Mr. Charles P. Taft, the President's brother has already subscribed $1,000. (Special) to the Afro-American Ledger.) Winchester, Va., March 8th.—The concert given at John Mann M. E. church on Tuesday was a very successful one.

Miss Chauey Davis is very sick at her home on W. Wolfe St. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and bow tie]. RECEPTION·GIVEN BY WIFE OF REGISTER OF THE TREASURY IS WELL ATTENDED. Washington, March 7—One of the most notable social gatherings given in Washington this season was, that of Mrs. William T. Vernon, wife of Register Vernon of the U. S. Treasury, at their home, 420 T. street, N. Wn on Thursday evening of last weeks. The house was beautifully decorated with palms and flowers. In the receiving line with Mrs. Vernon stood Mesdames Robert Pellham, Mary Church Terrell, W. S. Lorton, William H. Clifford, A. M. Curtis, and Miss Boardley, of Philadelphia. The Misses Threse Lee, Charlotte Wallace, Abbie Williams, L. Blanche Wright, and Mrs. James Wright, directed the arriving and departing guests. Mr. Felix Aixir and the famous Jeter brothers, rendered continuously during the receiving hours, a long line of classical musical selections which added to the charm and pleasure of the evening. The members of the Treble Clet, a musical organization of matrons, were honored guests and remained during the evening. The dining table was decorated with yellow tups and jonquils, in the centre of which was a large candetabra, the room being entirely illuminated by candle light. A buffet luncheon was served.

Washington, March 19.—Benjamin Bunday, of Cincinnati, Ohio, has the Department of State guessing. Some time ago he took the examination for the consular service and stood seventh. The six men ahead of him have been appointed, and now it is Bunday's turn and the department is puzzled what to do with him. He stands firm for his rights under the law and there the matter is. It is expected that the Department will look up some colored community to send Bunday to. Revolutionists Fare Better Than They Expected. POOR CASE MADE OUT BY GOVERNMENT Mme. Breshkovskaya's Conviction Was Due To Her Confession That She Was A Revolutionist—Tschalkovsky Will Go To Great Britian, And Mme. Breshkovskaya's Exile Will Not Be Severe. St. Petersburg (Special)—The trial of Nicholas Tschalkovsky and Mme. Breshkovskaya, on the charge of revolutionary conspiracy, ended with the acquittal of Tschalkovsky and the comparatively mild sense of exile imposed upon Mme. Breshkovskaya. Tschalkovsky's counsel was so pessimistic with regard to the outcome that he spent the interval while the jurors retired in planning an appeal. Mme Breshkovskaya's counsel lamented the fact that she lacked four years of the age exempting her from hard labor. The first gleam of hope, however, came when the judges dropped the charge against the woman of preaching assassination of the Emperor under which exile with hard labor was inevitable on conviction. The jurors deliberated for 10 minutes. Then the doors were opened and the verdict was rendered. While Mme. Breshkovskaya's sentence provides a perpetual exile, she escaped hard labor, which her counsel considers a great victory. A handful of friends surrounded the prisoners, showering congratulations upon them and exchanging kisses in typical Russian fashion. The guards allowed the woman half an hour with her friends before taking her to the detention prison, where she will await deportation. The collapse of the prosecution's case was due to the utter discrediting of Pateuk, who himself is serving a life term for murder and other crimes, and the failure of the crown to present other witnesses who could connect Tschalkovsky and Mme. Breshovskaya with revolutionary activity as charged in the indictment. The woman, however, had pleaded guilty to being a social revolutionist. The jurors found that the business records introduced amply, accounted for Tschalkovsky's presence in Russia. Tschalikovsky will leave here in three weeks for England. Mme. Breshkovskaya's exile, as shown by her experience of others, will be reasonably comfortable if money is forthcoming, from either her or her friends. Madame Breshkovskaya received her sentence unmoved, and a moment later asked the correspondent to send her greetings and best wishes to her friends in America. PRIZE FOR BEST 40-CENT DINNER 20,000 Women Sent Recipes To Chicago Newspaper.

He forced nine men and the bartender to elevate their hands with a cry of "Money or your Life," but someone shouted "police" and he fled after shattering plateglass with two bullets. Pursued by a policeman the youth turned and fired twice, one of his bullets dangerously injured a nine-year old boy. Scolding Caused Suicide. Maple Hill, Kans.

A carload of the little tots arrived here from New York foundling and orphan asylums, with an eager crowd of claimants awaiting their arrival.

PHILANDER C. KNOX, JR. ELOPES WITH SHOPGIRL Secretary of State's Son Was at Providence School. Bride Of The 20-Year-Old Schoolboy Athlete Is Miss May Boiler, Aged 21—Knox Was At School At Providence, R. I., And The Couple Were Married In Burlington, Vt., After Failing To Get A License In Montreal. Providence, R. I. (Special).—Wearing a broad wedding band gold ring and with a large diamond engagement ring sparkling on a finger on her left hand, Miss May Boiler, 21 years old, until recently employed in a department store of this city, coyly claimed Philander C. Knox, Jr., the 20-year-old son of the Secretary of State, as her husband. "We were married in Burlington, Vt., Sunday evening at 7 o'clock, by a minister" she confessed. The first revelation of the romance proved rather disconcerting to young Knox. News of his efforts to obtain a marriage license preceded his return, after a three days' absence. Refusing to tell Principal French, of the Morris Heights School, where he was a pupil, whether or not he had been married, he at first was confined to his room and later was expelled from the institution. Though Knox was besieged by newspaper men, absolutely no information could be obtained from him. Meantime the girl, in a well-furnished suite at 147 Benefit Street was also having her troubles with the reporters. She at first flatly declared that there was nothing to say. Finally, however, she burst forth: "Well, as long as you have cornered me, I will say that Mr. Knox and I were married at 7 o'clock Sunday night at the home of a friend of his in Burlington, Vt. A minister married us. I do not know his name, for Mr. Knox will attend to that. I won't say another thing. Mr. Knox said he had a good reason for it not becoming public yet, but I can't say any more. I guess I've said enough anyhow. We had intended to make it known in a few days, anyway." Miss Boler's apartments, richly furnished, contain various pictures of Knox, who has been prominent in the athletics of the school. He is captain of the football this year and a member of the track team. Both football and track uniforms figure among the photos. Miss Boler's mother, Mrs. Daniel Geary, of Abbott Street, said that May had not lived at home for sometime, and she really did not know a great deal about what was going on. Mrs. Knox is a petite and beautiful blonde. During the two years that Knox has been here she has been seen frequently in public places, but never with any male escort other than the son of the Secretary of State. Since Philander, Jr., has been at Morris Heights he has had two big automobiles here all the time, and a few months ago he was arrested and fined for over speeding. The Federal Express for Washington Monday night carried Principale French and the bride and groom. Mr. French, who had had a long-distance telephone talk with Secretary Knox, thought that the young man had gone to Washington on an earlier train, and was indignant when he heard that the woman in the case was aboard. He said he would have the police at Westerly, the next stop, but her off. At Westerly Chief Cornelius Bransfield wanted to know the trouble, but was met by a smiling conductor, who told the officer that young Knox had borded the train in Boston and had assured him that the Secretary of State had expressed approval of the marriage. The young people were speeding to Washington to receive the parental blessing, he said; so the police chief swung off the train, expressing the hope that the couple would "live happily ever after." Girl Killed Under Auto. Baton Rogue, La. (Special).—An automobile in which six young men and women were riding near Chamberlain, 10 miles from here, skidded across the road and overturned. Miss Sue Devall was crushed beneath the car and instantly killed, and Miss Caroline Phillips was seriously injured. Her right arm is broken in two places and she is also believed to be internally injured. The other occupants of the car were slightly hurt. Thirteen Was His Lucky Number. Junea, Alaska (Special). — The only survivor of the 3S miners in the Mexican shaft of the Treadwell mine, where a powder magazine exploded last Wednesday, is La Deretch, who wrote about his neck a brass identification tag bearing the numerals 13. He is in the hospital at Douglas, but will soon be out. Danced More Than 14 Hours. San Francisco (Special).—Six men and six women were taken to a hospital after dancing without interruption for 14 hours and, 41 minutes at the first annual San Francisco "dancing Marathon." The six couples will divide $140. The legs and backs of all were badly swollen, and three of the women will probably be is the hospital for a week or more. Carriers Lost By One Vote. Washington, D. C.

Decatur, Ill. (Special)—Three men were killed, one fatally hurt and six others severely injured on the Illinois Central Railroad, one in the south of Ocoonee when two Bent on Revenge for Injuries to a Strike Breaker. SIX ARE SHOT DOWN ON STREET. Fifteen Of The Injured Employees Selze Car At Barn And Dash Wildly Through Crowded Streets, Shooting Right And Left—Mob Replies With Hall Of Bricks And Stones —Car Flees Back To Barn—Crowd Takes Vengeance By The Wrecking Of Other Cars Down To The Trucks. Philadelphia (Special).—Six persons, including a young girl, were wounded Tuesday night by bullets fired by a party of alleged strikebreakers who rode wildly up and down Frankford Avenue in a trolley car and shot into the crowds that lined the sidewalks. After one of the most uneventful days since the beginning of the strike the stoning of cars was renewed Tuesday night along Frankford Avenue, the principal thoroughfare in the mill district. A stone thrown by one of the crowd injured a strikebreaking motorman. Infuriated at this, a crowd of about 15 of his comrades took up a car, all of the windows of which they broke with their clubs. As the car, loaded with armed strikebreakers, sped down Frankford Avenue bullets were rained at the jeering crowd. The mob replied with bricks and stones. Policeman Bragg, of the Frankford district, who was standing on the sidewalk, received a bullet in his helmet about an inch above his head. Helen May, aged 14 years, was struck in the leg by a bullet. John Maloney, aged 18 years, and Michael Osborn, aged 24 years, were also shot in the legs, and Frank Bromley, aged 22 years, received a bullet in his foot. These wounded were removed to the Frankford Hospital. Two other injured were taken to their homes. After reaching Allegheny Avenue the car was switched to the northbound track by its crew and the dash back to the barn began. So swiftly it was driven that before the crowd realized that it was coming back it had sped past them and into the barn again. The shooting of inoffensive bystanders worked the crowd to a high pitch of excitement and as other cars came down the street the mob proceeded to wreck them. In several instances leaving only the trucks on the rails. About a dozen arrests were made. It is estimated that 10,000 persons lined the streets. Boys Tie Up Shipyard. While accession to the strikers' ranks were reported from some of the manufacturing plants, including the admitted walkout of a few men from the Baldwin Locomotive Works, there were also reports of strikers, returning to their old places. A development of the day was the walkout of 200 heater boys at Cramp's shipyard. As a result several hundred riveters, holders-on-molders and core-workers were forced to quit work, thereby crippling the yard and affecting the work at the Kensington Shipbuilding Company's drydock. Work on four of the ships at Cramp's was stopped when the heater boys struck. Easter Trade Affected. Business, especially in the central part of the city, has suffered to an extent not known in years, and it is feared that the heavy spring and Easter trade will be seriously disturbed if an end is not soon brought to the industrial war. Although it is now three days since the general strike order of all union workers in sympathy with the fight of the trolley men's union against the Rapid Transit Company went into effect, it is still impossible to accurately state the strength of the movement. Widely divergent claims continue to be made by both sides in the controversy. The union leaders say that the 125,000 workers they had anticapitalized would walk out are all on strike and have been joined by at least 20,000 men and women who heretofore were unorganized. The leaders say they have been so busily engaged in organizing these recruits to the cause of trade unionism that they have not had time to compile any table or other data showing exactly the number affected in each line of industry. The police authorities, on the other hand, stated that careful compilation of the report of a thorough canvas shows less than 20,000 on strike. The police back up their statement by a detailed list of the many concerns affected. Roosevelt's Program In Rome Naples (Special). — According to the latest arrangements as announced here, ex-President Roosevelt will arrive at Naples the first week in April and will remain a few days. He will then proceed to Rome, where he will be received by the King and Pope, after which he will visit several Italian cities. He will arrive in Paris April 15, delivering his lecture at the Sorbonne the following day. He will go to Vienna and Christian, and is due in Berlin May 10. From there he will proceed to London. Gold Wreaths Stolen. St. Petersburg (Special). — The Bourse Gazette says the Imperial mausoleum in the church in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul has been rified in the same manner as was the royal tombs at Roskilde some time ago. More than 20 gold wreaths were stolen. Several of these were gifts from foreign sovereigns. The robbers seem to have broken the wreaths up and sold the fragments separately to local jewelers. As the leaves were pure gold their value was considerable. Caught in An Avalanche on the Canadian Pacific Rescuers Work in Danger of Another Slide.

(Special).—Sixty-two men who were engaged in clearing the Canadian Pacific track in Rogers Pass at the summit of the Selkirk Range were entombed by an avalanche and all are probably dead. The men were working in clearing away a small slide that had come down early in the evening. They were working a rotary engine over it when an immense mass came down and carried some of them to their death in the canyon below. All passenger trains on the line are safe, though it will probably be a day or two before they are able to pass the place when the slide occurred. The accident occurred near a snowshoeed one mile west of Rogers Adoption Of An Amendment Forbidding Investment In Two Per Cent. Bonds Gives Them Opportunity To Vote With Their Party—The House Likely To Eliminate It—Provisions Of The Measure As It Finally Went Through. Washington, D. C. (Special).—The Postal Savings Bank bill passed the Senate by a vote of 50 to 22 along almost strict party lines. Every Democrat who voted, with the single exception of Mr. Chamberlain, of Oregon, was recorded against the measure upon its final passage. Every Republican present voted for it. The unanimity of this vote, however, was based upon changes made in the bill in order to satisfy the "progressives" from the West. The thing which saved the day was the presentation of an amendment by Senator Borah, of Idaho, a "progressive," providing that when the money is withdrawn from the banks for use in supporting the credit in time of war or other national exigency and invested in Government bonds, it shall not be invested in any Government bond bearing interest at less than $2\%$ per cent. interest. The adoption of this amendment, as an afterthought to the compromise amendment which the President demanded in order to make the bill constitutional, strikes a blow at the aims of Senator Aldrich, to link Survivors tell of Some Harrowing Experiences. SEVERED HAND OF WOMAN FOUND. Thirty-Five Bodies Have Been Recovered—Fifty-Three Are Missing, Whose Names Are Known, Besides A Number Of Laborers—All In Freckage Are Believed To Be/ Dead Everett, Nash. (Special).—It is now almost certain that the death toh, in the valanche that carried away the two Great Northern trains and seven steam and electric locomotives at Wellington will total more than 200. Eighty-six names are now on the list of dead or missing passengers, railroad and postal employees. Statements of the number of laborers fighting the snow who were sleeping on the ill-fated trains vary from 20 to 30. All the dead we, residents of the Northwest, Of the injured, only Rev. Bishop Wingot, of Chicago, was from the East. Thirty-five, bodies have been recovered. Fifty-three are missing, whose names are known, besides a number of lairors. All in the wreckage are believed to be dead. The first news direct from the scene of the wreck was received at midnight, when Dr. Cox, one of the Great Northern physicians, who left on the first relief train, returned from Wellington, accompanied by three of the survivors—Ray Forsyth, R. M. Lavelle and Fireman S. A. Bates. Dr. Cox said that none of the injured was in a political condition. Most of them were only slightly hurt. When he left Wellington 16 were in the temporary hospital. Forsyth and Bates estimated that not more than 20 of the 110 persons who were carried into the can- New Plan To Elevate Drama. Chicago (Specta)—The Drama League, which is to have for its purpose the creation of an unlightened play-going sentiment throughout the United States, will have its birth in the First Congregational Church at Evanston, a suburb Tuesday, March 22. At the meeting it is expected, delegates will assemble from some 165 club and women's organizations through the Evanston West to discuss the theater undertake the work. Pass and at the actual summit of the Selkirks. As soon as the news reached Revelstoke, a relief train conveying physicians and nurses and over 200 railway men and other citizens started to Rogers Pass. Calgary made an equally prompt response. It also sent a special relief train with 125 workmen, as well as nurses and doctor. Railway officials expect that at least 48 hours will elapse before the line can be cleared. The work is attended with great danger, as another slide may descend at any moment. Little hope is entertained that any of the men in the pathway of the avalanche escaped alive. The bodies of many of the victims were probably swept into the canyon and cannot be recovered until summer mels the snow. Six hundred men are now digging out the track from under the snow and debris. A report from the scene of the disaster says the bodies of only five men have been recovered. The work of recovering the dead and opening the track is greatly impeded by a blizzard now raging in the Pass. the proposed postal savings bank legislation up to the United States Treasury in such a way as to forward the idea of the proposed central bank of issue. But for the Borah amendment it would have been possible to withdraw the postal funds from the banks in time of war or finance a war. A $90,000,000 worth of Government 2 per cent bond now held by bankers. As it goes to the House, the bill authorizes the various money-order postoffices to accept sums of one dollar or more from depositors, and to deposit these sums in the local banks, where the money is to remain unless withdrawn by the President in case of war or other exigency. In case of this withdrawal the funds are to be invested in Government securities, with but the proviso that such securities shall not draw less than 2 1/4 per cent. interest. The control of the funds is invested in a board of trustees composed of the Postmaster-General, the Secretary of the Treasury and Attorney-General. The aggregate balance allowed to any depositor is $500, and no person permitted to deposit more than $100 in any one month. The Government is required to pay 2 percent interest on any amount not less than 2 1/4 per cent. from the banks, the extra quarter of 1 per cent. being required for the payment of expenses and losses. It is estimated that such a law would bring much money out of hiding and result in a fund ranging all the way from five hundred million to one billion dollars. yon by the avalanche escaped death or injury. Eleven passenger cars, three locomotives, four electric motors, one rotary snowplow, the rotary shed and the sandhouse were swept away by the slide. A member of the first relief train returned to Everett and said that when he reached the scene all the cars were buried. The wreckage was covered by 40 feet of snow and all that could be seen was part of an electric motor, two locomotives and the wreckage of the rotary snowplow. All that could be seen of the coaches was a steel pipe sticking out of the snow, where a Pullman car was twisted around a stump, and a curtain that lay on top. Ray Forsyth. one of the injured passengers, was in a car in which there were five women and seven children. Three women and two children escaped, but the others perished. In telling of the experience Forsyth said that it seemed as if the car was lifted bodily from the tracks and was held polished in milda. Suddenly it toppled over the edge and rolled down the embankment. The air was filled with the shrieks of the injured. A fearful storm was raging. A high wind was blowing, and there was a spectacular electrical display. The first men to extricate themselves from the wreckage set to work rescuing those less fortunate. They had no lights and worked by the flare of the lightning, which was almost incessant. The severed hand of a woman was found. On a finger was a ring bearing initials, which led the workers to believe that it belonged to Miss Katharine O'Neill, of Spokane. Other portions of bodies were also found. Fireman S. A. Bates was buried under snow for six hours. Survivors heard his shouts and dug him out before the first rescuers arrived. A junior league of the New York State Association Oppose to Woman Suffrage has been formed at Albany with Mrs. N. H. Henry as president. The membership is said to have reached already in the neighborhood of 100 and to include young women of every social grade in Albany. Coffee 30 Years Old. New York (Special)—Commander Robert E. Peary was the guest of honor at the annual dinner of the Canadian Camp and Co-operating Sportsmen's Clubs of the United States and Canada, given at the Hotel Astor. About 450 guests were present. The menu consisted of bear steak, hard tack from Peary's steamer "Roosevelt," and coffee taken from the cache established by Lilienstant Greely at Fort Conger. In 1881 Commander Peary was presented with a bronze wreath. Otherwise Committee Will Pigeonhole All Bills. HIS RECORDS ARE NOT SUBMITTED. Sub-Committee Of House Will Not Pass On Measures Rewarding Explorer Unless It Is Allowed To Make Proofs Public—Peary Is Opposed To This Plan, But Is Willing To Submit Them In Confidence! Washington, D. C. (Special). Proofs of Commander Peary's discovery of the North Pole caused a row in the subcommittee of the House Committee on Naval Affairs. Two members of the National Geographic Society appeared before the committee with copies of Mr. Peary's proofs to urge the granting of a suitable reward by Congress to noted explorer, but the committee declined to receive them in compliance with the ultimate result that the committee has made it known that unless the Peary proofs are forthcoming to the full satisfaction of the committee, every bill introduced to the purpose of rewarding the North Pole discoverer will be pigeon-holed. Three members of the committee were in favor of receiving the Peary proofs without making them public. Representative Macon hotly objected and after declaring his position stalked angrily from the room. "I am against any legislation in the dark," Mr. Macon sharply told the committee. "Furthermore, if this committee decides in favor of Peary without inspecting the full records and making them public, I will expose the whole business on the floor of the House or in a statement to the press. If we reward Mr. Peary the American people have a right to know what we are rewarding him for." Would Not Submit Proofs. Professor Gannett, of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and one of the members of the National Geographic Society, which accepted Peary's proofs, told the committee that Mr. Peary would not let the committee have the proofs for public purposes because he wanted them for use in newspaper and magazine articles. The Professor had with him a copy of the proofs, but he declined to submit them. He told the committee that he had not the slightest doubt but that Peary discovered the pole, and never had any, even before he saw the proofs. He submitted to lengthy questioning and answered many interrogations about the Peary dash to the pole. He told of the tidal observations which Commander Peary had taken and sent back to the department from time to time, which, he said, were of great value. These filled 21 volumes, he said. Professor Gannett told of the soundings Mr. Peary took in the vicinity of the pole and of the explorer, but gone a distance of the explorer, the pole in order to make sure that he was at the extreme top of the earth. A sounding was made 140 miles from the pole at a depth of 1,240 fathoms. Another was taken within five miles of the pole, but Peary lost the heavy lead and a couple of pick-heads which they had let down to furnish the necessary weight to make the soundings. Prof. Gannett said the committee had examined Mr. Peary's instruments. Asked what they could tell from an examination of such instruments, the witness said nothing could be told from them. They only showed, he said, that Mr. Peary had the instruments. It was further stated that any scientist who knew his business could remain in Washington and fix up astronomical observations and instrument records such as a man might make at the pole. These could not be told from the genuine, it was acknowledged.

Genl. Pass Agt this Paper Notable Event At Worcester Celebration of Twenty-fifth Anniversary of John Street Baptist Church Marked by Interesting Gathering of Religious Workers. Successful Pastorate of the Rev. Hiram Conway—Church Free of Debt. By ANNA L. VAN ALLEN. One of the most pleasing as well as interesting events in church circles at Worcester, Mass., was the recent celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the John Street Baptist church by the members and congregation. The church was prettily decorated with flowers and streamers, and string across the front were the two dates, 1855-1910. The celebration began on Sunday, and there was special music by the choir under the direction of its able chorister, George E. Stewart, at all the services. Among the speakers were the Revs. Horatio Carter, pastor of the Mount Olive Baptist church, Cambridge; R. French Hurley, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church; Charles E. Simmons, chaplain of the Worcester county jail, and Rev. Hiram Conway, pastor of the John Street church, who gave an interesting talk on the work of the past. One of the most enjoyable features of the celebration was the reception to the members and their invited guests. Deacon Richard Brown was in charge of the program. The choir sang one of its charming anthems at the opening, and after a prayer and a vocal triy by the Misses Grace M. Johnson, Olive Johnson and Nanny Anderson the welcoming address was given by the pastor, the Rev. Hiram Conway. At the close of his speech the pastor was presented with a beautiful bouquet of carnations amid considerable applause. There were several ministers from the various local churches present, among them being the Rev. W. H. Davenport of the A. M. E. Zion church. Rev. A. S. Burrows of the South Baptist church and J. P. Cheney, who brought greetings from the Pleasaat Street Baptist church, the society from which the John Street church sprang. The addresses were interspersed with musical numbers. Mr. and Mrs. William Cook of New York, former members, sent a beautiful silver individual communion set, with the name of the church and the date inscribed, along with a letter stating their regrets at being unable to be present. The principal address of the occasion was that of the Rev. Charles E. JOHN H. HARRIS Simmons, chapain of the Worcester county jail. The Rev. Mr. Simmons was in charge of the John street society when it was a mission, and he told some interesting details about the society while it was in its infancy and named some of the members who were with him at that time, only four of whom are now living. Not long after the church was organized the Rev. Mr. Conway, who is a graduate of one of the southern colleges, went to Worcester and was called to the $c_{41}$ in Street church, where he has still remained. The Rev. Mr. Conway was congratulated by all the visiting clergymen on the record he has made for himself and the church—a record which is not equaled by any other minister in the city. He is the first and only pastor the John Street Baptist church has ever had, and this fact alone testifies to the high regard in which he is held not only by the members of his own church, but by the public at large. His genial disposition has won him many friends, and under his administration the congregation has progressed onward and upward until now it has a splendid little church building entirely free of debt. Bugy Workers For the Coleman Home. Some of the most prominent men of Pittsburgh have agreed to speak for the Lindsay club on Tuesday evening, March 22, at which time the club will give a grand rally at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church in aid of the Coleman Industrial Home For Boys. Ten captains of groups of persons are working earnestly to raise the necessary money for the incorporation of the home. The reports will no doubt result in a large amount of money, as each captain is endeavoring to outstrip the other. Panama Mourns Loss of Obaldia People, Shocked by Unexpected Death of Chief Magistrate, Turn to Bendoza For Guidance and Are Giving Him Their Support—Resume of Negro Statesmanship In the United States. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The death of Don Jose Domingo de Obaldia, president of Panama, which occurred on March 2, and the ascendancy of Dr. Carlos A. Mendoza to the presidency recall some interesting facts as to the part which Negroes have played in national and state affairs in the United States. One of the most striking instances in this connection happened in Louisiana in 1871, when our own Pinkney Benton Stewart Pinchback, who is still living, was on Dec. 6, 1871, elected president pro tem, of the state senate and also lieutenant governor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Oscar Dunn. Mr. Pinchback was acting governor of Louisiana during the impeachment trial of Governor Warmoth from Dec. 9, 1872, to Jan. 13, 1873. He was also nominated for governor, but withdrew in the interest of party peace and was elected congressman on the same ticket. He was chosen senator Jan. 15, 1873, but after a hot debate which lasted for three years, he was not allowed to be seated. The vote was thirty-two to twenty-nine. He was, however, given the pay and mileage of a senator. B. K. Bruce served as sergeant-at-arms of the Mississippi legislature and on Feb. 3, 1875, was elected United States senator, taking his seat in that august body March 4 and serving until March 3, 1881. In West Virginia at the present time J. C. Gilmer holds the position of state librarian. And so we might go on to enumerate many more exceptional examples in which the Negro has proved his worth and shown his capacity as a statesman. Dr. Carlos A. Mendoza, the new president of Panama, is a Negro, the acknowledged leader of the Liberal party. He is a self made man who by his own energy and perseverance has become one of the most influential men in Central America. He is a noted lawyer and has always taken a lively interest in political affairs. In most every revolution on the isthmus for the past ten years he has been a leading figure. President Mendoza has issued the following proclamation on the death of President P. B. PRESIDENT C. A. MENDOZA. Obaldla expressing the sorrow of the nation at the event which has deprived Panama of "the noble and disinterested services of her most illustrious son." The proclamation says: As a tribute to the memory of my chief, follow elitism and friend, knowing as I knew his desires, aspirations and patriotic endeavors, I declare that in the short time I shall occupy the underapposed post of president I will inspire all my acts in the policy of concord and tolerance he established and maintained. Americans took a prominent part in the funeral of the late president. The commander of the United States marines asked the foreign office for permission to attend with his men, bearing arms in the city. The officials of the isthmian canal commission and the ministers and consuls, native and foreign, were also in attendance. President Mendoza delivered the funeral oration. Nothing in the political situation on the Isthmus has so far arisen to occasion alarm. The people of Panama have been concerned only with the death of the president, who was looked upon as a great organizer and who had just completed plans for the development of the country. The conservatives and the partisans of the late president are giving their support to Mendoza. St. Mark's Church Reunion March 24. Leaders in religious and social circles are all aglow over the prospects of having a highly enjoyable time at the thirty-third annual reunion of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, New York, which will be held at Grand Central Palace on Thursday evening, March 24. The Rev. Dr. William H. Brooks, pastor of the church, is one of the most highly esteemed and influential men among the Afro-American population of the city. Women's Clubs to Meet In Brooklyn.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM- MENTS FOR MARCH 13. Subject: Two Mighty Works, Matt. S: 23-34—Commit to Memory Verses 24-26. GOLDEN TEXT.—"What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" Matt. 8:27. TIME.—A. D. 28. PLACE.—Sea of Galilee and Gerasa. EXPOSITION.—I. Jesus Stilling the Wind and Waves, 23-27. It had been a very busy day for Jesus (cf. Mk. 4:1-41). Much of the day had been spent in teaching the vast multitudes that thronged down to the seaside to hear Him. Evening found Him completely exhausted. No sooner had He reached the boat than He fell fast asleep on a pillow in the stern (cf. Mk. 4:38; Lu. 8.23). He was so thoroughly devoted to the work that the Father sent Him to do that He had to take His sleep when He could. We see Jesus in this lesson as a mighty worker, but we first get a glimpse of Him in His weakness as real man (v. 24; cf. Ps. 121:4). Even the fierce tumult of the storm was not sufficient to awaken Him in His utter exhaustion. It was a terrific storm that swept down on the little boat from the valleys running into the lake. The waves dashed over the sides of the boat so that it was filling (v. 24; cf. Mk. 4:37; Lu. 8:23). Though apparently in momentary danger of sinking, there was no real danger; no boat can go down that has Christ on board. What a contrast between the calm slumber of Christ through the storm and the wild excitement of the crew. Their prayer was short and right to the point and plenty long enough. Jesus first rebuked the disciples and then the storm. His rebuke of the disciples should be deeply pondered. There seemed to be enough to make one "fearful" with the waves dashing into and over the boat and the Master apparently heeding, but there was no sufficient reason for them to be fearful. There is never sufficient reason for a disciple of Christ to be fearful. True faith in Him hansis all fear (Jno. 14:1, 27). The whole trouble was "little faith." Now Jesus rises in His majesty as Son of God and He rebuked the winds and the sea. How many a tempest that voice has stilled. The disciples were more afraid than ever. A moment before they were afraid of the storm, now they are afraid of One who is evidently a supernatural being (cf. Mk. 4:41). How prone is the human heart to fear, and nothing fills it with such overwhelming fear as being brought face to face with God and the supernatural. The disciples ought not to have feared. They should have been filled with joy and trust. They asked an important question just then. "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" There can be but one answer to that question, "the Dyne Man." II. Jesus Setting Free a Demoniac, 28-34. Gerasa was a city in a half heathen territory. God was dishonored there, and there we might expect to find the devil doing his best to torment and debase. To get a complete picture of the degradation and misery of this man, we have to go to Matthew, Mark and Luke. Matthew tells us that by reason of his fierceness he made the way impassable; Luke that he wore no clothes, that there had been many ineffectual attempts to chain and tame him, and that he made day and night hideous by his cries as he vented his horrid rage upon himself, cutting himself with stones, and that he dwelt in the tombs. How terrible is the dominion of the devil. If he can work such misery on earth, what will hell be? No man had strength to tame him (Mk. 5:4), but Jesus had. It does not do to conclude that because no man can tame some victim of the devil that therefore he cannot be tamed. There is more power in the word of Jesus than in man's chains or blows. Mark and Luke tell us of only one demoniac; from Matthew we learn there were two. What a strange commingling of the human and the demoniacal: it was the demons within in them that enabled them to recognize in Jesus the "Son of God;" it was the human need and longing that led them to Jesus, and the demon within again that led to the awful cry of rage and despair (v. 29). The souls of these men were in utter and hopeless confusion of impulses, contending now heavenwards, now hellwards. The demenows knew full well, though men less wise doubt, that there is an appointed time and place of torment (v. 29; cf. Matt. 25:41). The utmost they dared hope for or ask was a brief respite. There is here none of the haughty and almost noble pride that Milton pictures in the fallen angels—nothing but foiled, cowering and contemptible malice, driving a poor weak mortal to slow self-destruction, but shivering with fear in the presence of the Son of God—that is the real devil. An evil spirit cannot enter even into a hog without Christ's permission (vs. 32, 32). The devil, as usual, outwitted himself (v. 32). If he is cunning, his power is "stupid. blind, self-contractibility and sulcidal. It can only destroy and involve itself in a common ruin rather than not destroy." We must go to Mark and Luke to learn the completeness of the cure (Mk. 5:15-19; Lu. 8:35-39). The wonderful cure brought the whole city out to meet Jesus; but when they saw Him they did not want Him: They besought Him that He would depart from their borders. Doubtless they feared that some more hogs might be destroyed. They cared more for their hogs than they did for the Saviour. They have many imitators to-day. The Family. Through the family and the home most of the good has come to the world. The State began with the family, religion had its first expression in the family ancestral worship. TRIALS of the NEEDEMS.

Her father found that sympathy only increased this unfortunate tendency, and decid* to have a serious talk with his lit. daughter on the subject of her foolish fears. "Papa," she ventured, at the close of the lecture, "when you see a cow, aren't you afraid?" "Why, certainly not, Adelalde. Why should I be?" "Well, when you see a dog, aren't you afraid then?" "No, indeed!" with marked emphasis on the "no." "Aren't you afraid when it thunders, nana?" "Why, no," and he laughed at the thought and added, "Oh, you silly, child!" "Papa," and Adelaide came closer and looked into her parent's eye, "aren't you afraid of nothing in the world but just mamma?"—Success Magazine. Meat-eaters Dr. Fletcher, whose well-known specialty is living on the minimum of food, is quoted as feeling that things hereabouts are coming fast his way, and as having a "firm belief" that within ten years meat will cease to be eaten in the United States. It is a mean man that will discredit the firm beliefs of a specialist, but, in spite of food boycots, it does not look that way to us. We think that from a quarter to a third of the present population of this country will probably cease to eat meat in the course of the next decade, but there will be a lot of newcomers, and they will eat it. It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and the contemporary American human has habits of nourishment that will not readily yield to an advertised change of fashion.—Harper's Weekly.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION It Makes For Health. A man tried leaving off meat, potatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with cream, some crisp toast and a cup of Postum. His health began to improve at once for the reason that a meat enter will reach a place once in a while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind puts aside food of low nutritive value and take, up food and drink of the highest value, already quickly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of Grape-Nuts is the natural phosphate of potash grown in the grains from which it is made. This is the element which transforms albumen in the body into soft gray substance which fills brain and nerve centres. A few days' use of Grape-Nuts will give one a degree of nervous strength well worth the trial. Look in pkgs. for the little book "The Road to Wellville," "There's Reason." The Brownsville Inquiry will soon be ended and for which let us be profoundly grateful. If the price of gas was down to fifty cents per thousand we would not care whether it was natural or thewise. The price of the thing is what stump us. With Dr Washington speaking in many places in New York and elsewhere and Dr. DuBois addressing the weekly discussion of the Republican club the race is getting a hearer. Both are men fully able to champion the cause of the Negro. George R. Gaither! It seems to us we have heard that name before somewhere, and it was not connected with a gas company either. Is it the George R. Gather that ran for governor about a couple of years go? We hardly think it possible. After reading the letter of Col. J. D. Midnight, in another column of his paper, if there is anybody hanning after being a white man, especially a Southern white man, the sooner the fellow goes out and commits suicide the better for him and his race. It is seldom that we get the thing from a real eye witness of the race, and if the Colonel says he was there and a witness to the actions of so-called human beings, he was there. While we have no sympathy for any man who commits a crime of this sort, as he says the whole machinery of the law is in the hands of the white people and why cannot they carry it out according to the law? We are afraid to say any more about this this thing for we might say too much, for the things we feel like saying would no book well in a newspaper of the standing of the Afro-American Ledger. This is the latest cry of the South. It is coming, however, at a very late day. After two hundred and fifty years or more of disregard of the moral law, with frightful consequences facing the dominant race in the south, they now send up the sky rending cry, "Save the white race in the South." Who is to blame for the racial mixing in the South? It certainly cannot be laid at the door of the Negro, for the whole thing was a disgrace to maphood, a stench in the nostrils of the Almighty, and disgusting to the native honesty of African women, who had come from the jungles of their native land. It is entirely gratuitous for the Saxon to publish up in his great magazines the frightful story of the black plague and now talk about aggregating the Negro in, order to save the Saxon blood in the South. Whence got the Negro the diseases from which it appears now that the white man is now on the run? Now does it now happen that the white man after nearly three centuries of bestial immorality, proclaiming all over the South a popula- tion of alarming proportions of mixed blood now takes fright at his own shadow? Did he not know that when he sowed to the wind he would reap the whirlwind? How is the white man now ever going to get back to the pure blood in the South, to say nothing about preserving it. No man will rejoice more in the coming of the day, when the crimes which have been responsible for the mixed bloods of the South, shall be stopped than the Negro. More power to the man or men, white or black, who can end the damnable conditions of corcubinage and illicit intercourse between the white and black people of the South. Those who may wish to see what the white man is now saying and fearing I refer to Pearson's Magazine, February and March. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. The splendid lecture of Dr. DuBois in this city, on Thursday evening of last week, on "John Brown," ought to prove immensely helpful in relieving the "Niagara Movement" of the popular misconceptions under which that movement has labored, almost ever since its birth. Unfortunately, the "Niagara Movement" has been interpreted as an organized effort towards overcoming the good work of a colored American whose praise is upon the lips of the great masses of our own as well as the American people generally. This is a great mistake and an injury to a cause worthy of the greatest praise and helpfulness. Directly, there is no conflict between the work for the race as represented by these two great Negro educators. We use the word directly with discrimination. We have stomachs and the needs of such must be satisfied. We have minds and such must be led. Perfectly absurd would it be to conclude, therefore, that the mind and the stomach are in deadly conflict. If there is to be genuine life, both in body and in soul, the needs of each must be fully satisfied, but neither at the expense and disadvantage of the other. What is represented by the "Niagara Movement" necessarily appeals to the few of the race, although the accruing benefits are for the many. There is the material and the spiritual side of life. There is that which has, primarily, to do with animal life, and there is that which has to do with the higher forms of life, as indicated in mind and fundamental moral springs of action. Now, while bread is certainly necessary, it is absolutely true that man doth not live by bread alone. As important as are the subjects of good wages and acquiring material wealth, yet vastly more important it is that there should be true moral and intellectual freedom. While we acknowledge with great praise the labors of industrial leaders, home-builders and pioneers in business enterprises, ministering to the material prosperity of the race, we certainly should not forget the men who are at work, not with respect to the making of a dollar, but the making and complete equipment of MEN. There are workers with the mind who thoroughly believe in MEN rather in matter, in the spiritual rather than in the material. Dr. DuBois has most wisely comprehended the essential character of the organization, of which he is the head, in the familiar expression, that it is a "state of mind." While we have in this community various organizations for work among us, such as taking care of the sick, burying the dead, sheltering the outcast, looking after the widows and orphans, clothing the needy and the like, all looking to bodily needs, the Niagara spirit seeks not to destroy or impair any of these or kindren agencies, but rather to make them more efficient and serviceable, by seeking to influence and build up the proper state of mind which should characterize all workers among mankind, whether such work be industrial employment or the conducting of places of amusement, or recreation or in matters of legislation. Why should we not honor the few men and women of the race, who, having received a liberal education seek to disseminate the blessings they have received in creating a proper moral and mental state; on the part of all our people? There is then a splendid field of usefulness for the "Niagara Movement," and all honest reformers, who have nobly wrought for the brotherhood of man, makes plain to us the real meaning of such consecrated labors. The "Niagara Movement" can never be a popular one, and its great danger lies in the direction of aspiring to make it thus. Its rewards consists in the gracious specimens of pure manhood and womanhood which it calls into being to dominate and force in the right direction the currents of life. We must look for the success in the increasing high ideals which permeate our racial life. In such a large community of Negroes as this city, there should ever be a respectable and increasing number, who turning away from materialism, seek, by study, investigation, and conference the highest mental and moral equipment, that the treasury thus secured, may be expended in lifting up their fellow men to grander and nobler conceptions of life in all its fullness and beauty. Along this line we commend most heartily the good work of all lovers of knowledge and truth. NOW JACK! We are sending this exclamation out to our Champion Jack Johnson. It is worth while to remind Jack that he enjoys the rare distinction of being today the world-wide heavy weight champion, with great responsibilities resuing upon him and very serious business before him. We wish to say that the race which in a large measure is proud of him is not altogether pleased at the pace he is going, il all reports be true. If Jack will not drive his automobile so fast and apparently forget that there are a few other men still trying to creep around the world on foot it will be better for Jack. If Jack keeps playing with the fire of carelessness, he might run up against a — sentence which would rob him of his training day, and make it necessary to call off the big mill this summer, and therefore cost his backers the ten thousand dollar forfeit and throw Jack and his race into an indefenceable position. Now Jack for the sake of the thousands of Negroes who have nailed your name to their mast head, and who are now pinching their stomachs in order to increase their pile of cash to stake on the regnancy of your manhood, have a care to yourself. Nobody has so much to win or lose as you and the race you represent. Certainly it is not our business to make prizefighters but since Jack has fallen into the ring in a successful way, we take some pride in his successes from the standpoint of a race, which has been scattered and peeled, and hope to see Jack make good when he and Jefferson shall climb over the ropes. Therefore, Jack, your friends want pretty soon to see you settle down to business and give your race and yourself a square deal. We feel you can do it and therefore you ought to do it. THE FORUM. MR. EDITOR OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER: In your issue of March 5th, there appeared an editorial in which our church choir is branded with having shown the white feather, for not having gone to sing at the McKenzie M. M. Church, Arlington. You write that "it was highly complimentary to our race in general and to the Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church chair in particular, to have, received an invitation to sing at the Arlington M. E Church (white), and it is regrettable that the engagement was broken." There are Afro-Americans who feel that some special dispensation of Providence has been granted them if perchance they are permitted to appear before white audiences. They seek such, and if successful, spread the news broadcast. The position of our choir was not that of the supplicant begging an opportunity to sing in a white church. We accepted an unsolicited its financial obligations. We did so in the same spirit that prompted our going to our own St. Paul M. E. Church in the month of January, where we rendered precisely the same service which was to have been rendered in Arlington. Our choir is a conscientious group of young people who find in song their opportunity for doing service for God, and with them it is not a question of white or black. Your editorial reveals ignorance concerning the facts in the case. It was quite plain to those who read the papers that the situation was developed by certain officers of the church who were opposed to the pastor and not by "The irresponsible hoodlum element." At least two of these men were named in the Evening Star. We were not in a position to find out how many of the church actually opposed our coming, but we do know, and so does the writer of the editorial, that sentiment was divided. And we believe under such circumstances we acted wisely in not aggravating an unhealthy condition in the life of that church. As to the protection promised by a majority of the official board and by policemen, this in itself suggests that things might have been serious, and we submit to a Christian public that we were acting in harmony with that for which a church choir should stand, when we recinded our action and avoided what might have been a clash between members of two We would also remind you that ours is not a male choir but a mixed choir. Our wives and daughters were to go, and our respect for womankind would always prompt us to keep them far from things that promised to be "squally." We know the men of our choir, and if occasion demanded, we are sure they would posses as much courage as the writer of your editorial. But theirs is not a courage that would expose mothers, wives and sisters to abusive insults or worse. You Mr. Editor would wave the red flag, expose to the glare of the public thru columns of a sensational press. These same persons and whom you now call cowards, you would then call fools. The tragedy you would have "help develop the race," did not occur for we believe that "Prudence is the better part of valor." We further believe it would be most unfortunate to precipitate any unpleasantness between the races at this particular time and thus furnish capital for designing politicians, and we are assured that our white friends so believe. W. A. C. HUGHES, Pastor. Prevention Is Better Than Curez People seem to forget that to prevent disease is half the battle. They live about any old way, and later call the doctor to mend results of ignorance in a minute, which have been years in the making. When the doctor inquires as to their habits, and suggests information along that line, they sometimes call another doctor who gives them a dose which temporarily relieves them, and does not remove the cause of their trouble, which of course appears again in a more severe form—but they simply say they are "sick again." How little sense most people possess after all! Did you ever think of it? It is really amazing. Nature is making them walk barefooted, on the rocks of experience, but most of them learn very slowly, and many never.—PHYSICAL CULTURE for March. FELLOWSHIP SERVICE One Hundred To Be Present At Unique Service At Centennial M. E. Church. Rev. Dr. D. W. Shaw, pastor of Centenial M. E. Church, Caroline and Bank streets, has planned a fellowship services for the evening of Sunday, March 20th. Each of the 140 persons converted in the recent revival at his church is expected to be present, special seats being reserved for the converts. They will wear a badge of white ribbon with the inscription in blue letters, "Redeemed, 1910," printed thereon. The officers of the church and the converts will form a line across the front of the church and the right hand of fellowship extended the converts. A cross, herald will stand at the center of the line, and as the converts march, the cross will be laid upon each of their shoulders, which is to typify that as Jesus bore the cross so must the convert. Dr. Shaw will also deliver his farewell address before leaving for the Washington Annual Conference. A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY.

M. last Sunday. Both of Baltimore. The bride wore a handsome embrodery Swiss, carring pink caranations. Miss Marie Bundy, who acted as bridesmaid, was dressed in the same style, and both were the attention of the large number of guests present. The best man was Mr. Charles C. W. B. Jenkins, who played a particular part in entertaining assisted by Mr. Skinner. The presents were very handsome. Among which was a lovely couch, silverware, oil painting, cut glass and many things which are very useful in household duties. The reception which lasted from 7.30 to 9.30, included 57 guests and was held at the residence of Mr. James W. Jennings, 2123 Druid Hill avenue, where the bride and groom will make their future home.

The wedding march was played by Miss Anita Gaskins, and the bride's maid was Miss Alice Hill: Mr. Joseph Duckett took the part of best man and played it to perfectiyn. It was a very pretty wedding, the Home Circle joining in to make it pleasant not only for the assembled guests, but for the young bride who was leaving them. TAYLOR—SINGLETON Miss Nettie M, Singleton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Singleton, and Mr. Harry Taylor, of Camden, N.J., were the principals in a pretty home wedding Wednesday night.

MINISTERS READY FOR CONFERENCE Few Pastors Are Expected To Be Changed in the Larger City Churches. The ministers of local Methodist Episcopal Churches are winding up their alliances for the annual session of the Washington Conference which will convene Warren M. E. church, Pittsburg, Pa., the week beginning March 23. It is expected that there will be but few changes in city pastorates. Rev. J. A. Homiles will probably return for the thirteenth year at Metropolitan Church, not withstanding meagre, reports to the contrary. Sharp Street church may again get Rev. W. A. C. Hughes. Rev. A. Young will be returned to Whatecoat Epworth, and Rev. C.G. Cunnings will most likely be continued at Ashbury. Asbury. Pastoral receptions will be held at Asbury church on Monday night and at the home of Rev. W. T. Harris, 420 E. Twenty-third street. Bishop Quayle To Speake Bishop William A. Quayle of the Methodist Episcopal church will deliver a lecture on Shakespeare at Sharp Street church early in April. The lecture will be under the auspices of Morgan College; Rev. Alfred Young, Pastor Of Whatcoat Church, Haled Up Before A Court Of His Friends. While it may be true that prophets are not without honor saye in their own homes, and in their own cities, the same may not be true of preachers, for it is frequently demonstrated that they are with honor both in their cities and in their churches. Of no one can this be said with more truth than of Rev. Alfred Young, pastor of Whatcoat M. E. Church, corner Fine and Franklin streets, better known as "King's Hill." On Friday evening of last week he was summoned to appear before the members and friend of the church, and then and there presented with a handsome suit of broadcloth clothes, made in the very latest ministerial style. Not that Rev. Young is short of ministerial clothing at all but because his members realized that in a few short weeks the Pastor will be called to attend the annual conference of his church at Pittsburg, and the good ladies of his church desired that he should look as good as the best of them, if not a little better. Hence the suit. A silver set of two pieces was presented Mrs. Young so that she would not feel slighted. After the presentation and the program had been finished an adjournment to the lecture room took place where refreshments were served to all. Mrs. Frankie C. Beaty was the party largely responsible for all this trouble, while Mrs. Janie Thomas and Mr. Cardoza Beaty aided and abetted. Among those who also aided and abetted were Rev. David Johnson, Rev. I. L. Thomas, D. D., Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, D. D., J. H. Murphy, Miss Louisa Edwards, Miss E. Howard, Miss Jackson, Mr. Richard Johnson, Mr. J. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Cardoza Beaty, and the choir of the church, under the leadership of Mr. John A. Robinson. Mrs. Janie Thomas was mistress of ceremonies. ATHLETIC NOTES. ATHLETIC NOTES. BY W. H. J.

Now Mr. White man say nothing else about an inferior race. Show your ability to obey law and order, before you attempt to say anything about me. Now what power was there on earth to keep that black man from being punished, and hanged at that. You had him under the law, and you could have convicted him the same day, and a day or so more had his body dangling between heaven and earth in legal way at least, but no, you took him from Justice and put him to death. Some wanted to burn his body after death, but they would not do this. "That would be unjustified" suggested one man. There was no attempt to disguise the identity of any man. It happened at 10 o'clock in the day, when every man could be seen, when every man could be identified, yet the jury under the direction of the coroner announced that "Allen Brooks came to his dearness at the hands of a mob unknown." I feel like saying a few cus words, but on account of my religion I shall not do so. For one hour the body dangled in the air under the Eiks'Arch, viewed by rich and poor, all going to see the "nigger." Just to think the taking of a human life in Dallas is an amusement, it is a show which attracted 10,000 people, and when they had finished their dastardly dirty work they made another charge on the jail for three other prisoners, but they had been gotten away this time "shownuff" and the mob did not get them. They did not molest any of the other colored folks. I was right in the crowd during the whole lynching, and was within three feet of the man when they cut him down. His clothes all but a red shirt were cut up as souvenirs, the rope was sold for good prices and the people were cutting down the telegraph pole to which he was tied. I am a position to give you the whole thing. All I could hear after that was "gigger." No one said anything to me. After I had finished I went over to Fort Worth where they had carried the other prisoners to see what sps were being taken to get them out. I had the pleasure of seeing R. C. Houston, Jr., his wife and children. Dr. N. T. Wallis, tome me in Undertaker Houston's buggy to the public school, and after looking around I left there for parts unknown to them, but to me it was to Dallas, where I spent the night and left the next morning for Sherman. I was glad indeed to get to town and to see what was doing there. I will soon be in civilization. If you have a letter for me send it to 150 N. Wood street, Chicago. I have it from a reliable source that the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Chataquna which is to be held in Atlanta, in May, will be the finest in the history, and many new features introduced. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, the secretary, is working hard to make it a success. He was in Atlanta, last week arranging the program and getting things in shape. He is the assistant secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board. I am going to give you a special letter on that work this month. I desire to say many other things to you this week, but I am so full until I fear it will not do for me to say them all. I have been doing some getting around. I have been to Waco, Wax-ahachie, Dallas. Sherman, and now I am here. I am sure you will read with sadness that I visited Dallas. I want to mention some of my friends in Dallas, but will not do so until the next letter. I am ashamed to own that I am a citizen of the United States. I export to be in the East soon. I have promised to make several places, and if the people will write to me now I will give them the date. There is Hagerstown, and other places. Let me hear from you and I will arrange dates.

Afro-American Insurance Concerns Bein Helped by Hampton Institute The rapid increase in the number of insurance companies among Afro-Americans in the tidewater section of Virginia and especially in the vicinity of Hampton institute within the past few years has made such a favorable impression upon the principal and faculty of the school that they have employed an insurance expert at the institute, whose duty it is to give instruction to all persons engaged in the insurance business among our people whom he can reach. Already a sufficient number has been got together to form the Federated Insurance league. The new organization will endeavor to unite the various secret benevolent and fraternal societies, which number something like 178. known to exist. The combined membership of these societies numbers about 3,000,000, with an annual income of $4,000,000. In Memory of General Armstrong. The birthday anniversary of General S. C. Armstrong, founder of Hampton Normal institute, Virginia, was fittingly observed recently under the auspices of the New York circle of graduates and ex-students in Greater New York and vicinity. The celebration was held in the audience room of the Young Women's Christian association, West Fifty-third street, New York. A. L. Hayes, president of the circle, presided, and Secretary F. C.

Dobson, the well known Afro-American minstrel showman, whose death occurred recently in New York, had been in the business for over a quarter of a century and had traveled extensively in the United States and in Europe. He was rated as one of the greatest banjo players known to the profession. He managed and conducted many minstrel troupes and musical comedy shows in his day and made money. He was seventy-one years of age. Twenty Days For White Chicken Thief. Out in Pasadena, Cal., the latter part of January, it is alleged, one George Willets, a white man, was arrested for stealing chickens from the heurcoat of Stephen Wilson, an Afro-American. In court Wilson said: "Judge, if you will allow me. I will ask that you he just as easy as possible with this white man. I just want him out of the way so he will not steal any more of my chickens." The court sentenced Willets to twenty days in the county jail. SYMPTOMS OF CIVIC DISEASE Failure to Pay Poll Tax Robs White Man of Right to Vote. Jerome B. Wilmer of New Orleans thinks that a big price has been paid for the disfranchisement of the Negroes in the south. He bases it upon the fact that it makes political conditions entirely one sided, and he cites Alabama, where, he says, 100,000 white men are unable to vote because they do not pay the poll tax which is required and which is levied for the purpose of disfranchising the Negroes. "They ask themselves," said Mr. Wilmer, "What is the use?" when they know that the Democrats are going to win anyhow and their ballots are not needed. It certainly is a symptom of civic disease when 100,000 men of the Anglo-Saxon race deliberately rob themselves of the right of suffrage. Activity In Athletic Sports. The young men of the Delauayes rifles of Pittsburgh are now taking a very active interest in athletics. Four of them took part in the recent lively meet at Forbes field. They have a good football team and are whipping a basketball team into shape. Meanwhile they are becoming quite proficient in their soldierly duties under the tutelage of Captain Frank R. Steward. Among the "rooters" who went over to boost the fortunes of the Detroit Tigers during the recent world's championship series were quite a bunch of well known young Afro-Americans, who would not listen to anything but Detroit as the victors in the contest for supremacy. Wide Awake Business Man. Editor Holmes of the Orangeburg (S. C.) Recorder is not only interested in giving our people in his section the best newspaper that can be got out commensurate with the patronage which it receives, but is just as enthusiastic about members of the race owning their homes. He shows them how this can be done and offers to make the way possible for them to do it. Mr. Holmes is a wide awake business man.

What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more piliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "juss as good" if you want the best results buy Ford's hair Panda. Look for this name "Charles Ford. Prest." on every package. If your druggist or local dealer cannot supply you with the genuine, we will send you One bottle, regular size, for . $ .50 Three " hair Panda. 1.40 Six " hair Panda. 2.50 One small " hair Panda. 2.25 We pay postage and express charges to all points in U.S.A.

It ig not generally known that cys- nets from the swannery of the Lind- field (Sussex) Parish Council are sold Jevery year for half a guinea each, and that the money is deveted to the relief of the rates. When the Town Council of Tor- quay purchased a couple of thousand acres of land on,the Dartmoor water- shed, in order-to supply the town a a constant run of pure water, they became possessed of a rabbit warren, When thé warren first came Into the hands of the authorities it was overstocked with rabbits, and no fewer than 10,000 of the nimble creatures were caught and sold in one year, bringing into the coffers of the council several hundreds of pounds. Cattle pay the smaller billls of the High Wycombe Council. Rye Mead was presented to the town free, gratis and for nothing by Queen Elizabeth. The royal lady, when she visited the town on one oceasion, found that milk Mas consplexous by its absence, sv she made the borough a gift of a large meadow for the purpose of keeping cows. Cattle have grazed on Rye Mead ever since that day of lonz ago. ‘Tunbridge Wells possesses a mu- nicipal hop plantation, which yields about £500 worth of hops every year. The money received on their sale goes toward the reduction of the rates. The province of Jauja, in Peru, Is practically run by a company of citi- zens, who own the shops, the fac- tories and the stalls in the market places. Jauja is not a very enter- prising place, however, for copper aoinage is unknown. Eggs are circu- lated as small change, forty to fifty of them, the number varying accord- ing as they are plentiful or scarce, being counted as sixpence of our money, These eggs, which change hands by the hundred every day in the market places, are shipped by the tradespeople to Lima, the Peruvian capital, and exchanged for coin and goods. | In one sear the ruler of Uganda re: celved from his subjects £60,000 in [the form of “King’s taxes.” In the first place, however, half of this sum was paid into the official treasury In the shape of live stock, consisting of elephants, chimpanzees, zebras, ante- lopes, monkeys, etc, The various an- imals were sold in due course to men- ageries and zoological gardens in var- ious parts of the world, enriching the State coffers by over £20,000.—Tit- Bits. ; An ‘ + TG.
