VOL. XVIII. NO. 24. A MOVEMENT TO PERMANENTLY ENDOW TUSKEGEE PRESIDENT TAFT AND EXPRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HEADS A LONG LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS The Results At Tuskegee Fully Justify The Interest Taken In The Institution By The People of the Country—Present Pace Too Great For The Great Educator to Keep Up—Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Asked For This Year And The Same Every Year Until Amount Is Raised. Bureau of The Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St., N. W. Washington, March 24—Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., passed through the city on Sunday night, enroute from New York to the South. Dr. Washington has just concluded a series of addresses in the State of New York winding up at the A. M. E. Church, New York City, in the interest of the Young Women's Christian Association. It is authoritatively stated that a determined effort will be made to increase the endowment of Tuskegee to the end that Dr. Washington may be able to give more time to the great work both of Tuskegee, and the interests of the Southern Afro-American, in which he is greatly interested. It stands to reason that Dr. Washington cannot keep on from year to year under the high pressure he is now going, and so a number of the friends of Tuskegee have issued the following letter, which is self explanatory: We, the undersigned, are glad to permit the use of our names in aiding the Trustees and officers of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute of Tuskegee, Alabama, to secure a larger and more adequate endowment. We seal that the results accomplished by the Tuskegee school, not only in making the Negro more u-ful, but in the interest of the whole country, justify an appeal to the public that shall increase the endowment to a figure where the Principal, Booker T. Washington, will not be compelled to spend so much of his time in the getting os money to meet the current expenses. Wishout going into detail at present, we wian te state it is the aim and wish of the Trustees at present to increase the endowment rund to three million dollars in the near future and to secure $300,000 of this amount during the present school year. We are glad to add that a portion of the $300,000 has already been secured and we earnestly hope that the remainder may be provided before June 1st. William H. Taft, President of the United States.

E. church, and the pastor preached in the morning and the Rev. Oscar Johns, of East New Market at night. DISCRIMINATION NORTH AND SOUTH THE NEGRO GETS IT BOTH COMING AND GOING SAYS J. O. MIDNIGHT. (special to the Atro-American Ledger.) Cincinnati, O., March 9 — "The North discriminates against me as to where I make my feed, and the South as to where I eat it, and since making must precede eating, let me make it and I can walk along the street and eat it, but make it I mu-5," declared Prof. Charles Stewart, better known as 'Col. J. O. Midnight.' the newspaper correspondent; as he addressed a packed house at Bethel Baptist church, Alms Place, Walnut Hills, Thursday night. Prof. Stewart was engaged by the Literary Society to deliver his popular lecture on "Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked." He is undoubtedly the greatest. Negro humorist and lecturer traveling and is called the "Negro Mark Twain" of America. For two hours he entertained his large and appreciative audience, swaying them at will, ending each humorous saying with a moral lesson bringing home some object lesson to be learned from his varied stories. At times the audience was in laughter, then in tears as the speaker pictured the pitiful scenes and conditions of the Negro in slavery. At the conclusion of the address a program was rendered by the members of the Literary Society. WOMEN HAVE THEIR DAY. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Chastertown, March 22.—A goodly sum was realized by the women on last Sunday at Bethel A. M. E. church, where they had charge of the services. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Waters, preached in the morning and in the afternoon and evening the ladies held special services. The church is making strenuous efforts to have their pastor prepared for the conference—which is near at hand. Miss Alice Cann, adopted daughter of Mrs. Louisa Chambers, was buried from James M.

The Condition Of The Negro Who Will Participate in the General Prosperity Washington, March 10—Secretary Dickinson believes the best solution of the so-called Negro problem is the entire elimination of that race from politics, and he has made that the basis of his arguments in several recent public addresses. The significance of his utterances on the subject lies in the generally accepted impression that they represent the sentiments of the present administration on that much-discussed question. At any rate, it is known that Secretary Dickinson was charged by the President with a study of the Negro question with a view to assisting in the consideration of official questions especially in the South, involving the racial issue in any phase, An Explanatory Statement "Because of the large number of Negroes living in a country with whites, all having equal rights under the law," said Secretary Dickinson, in a recent explanatory statement, "there is and always will be a Negro problem that we cannot expect to see settled in the sense that there will be no conflicts, or that a stable continuous basis regulating the relations between the two races will be reached at any time in the near future. The difficulties are enhanced by the fact that, on the account of economic conditions and race prejudice, the latter, while theoretically not so, is in fact more intense in the North than in the South. "I the effect these forces are to keep the great masses of Negroes pep up in the south. There is no large outlet for them in the North. Only a small percentage can get work there that will support them. These conditions are not improving. This congestion in the South makes the Negro question primarily a southern question, but it is one in which the people of the whole country are not merely sympathetically, but directly interested. What affects so seriously so large a part of the body politic must necessarily affect the whole body. Evils Should Be Minimized. "While we cannot now see the establishment, of any enduring unchanging basis regulating the relations between the two races and their progress under a common government and civilization, we can by justice, wisdom and forbearance minimize the evils and remove the acute situations they develop. Any basis looking to anything like a permanent adjustment for continuous relations, must be one that appeals to the judgment of the entire country, and no basis will have any continuous strength that does not meet with the sanction of the conservative thought of the entire country, North as well as South. There has been for a long while political agitation of the race question, and some men in the South have mainly sought office by appeal to this prejudice. Passing of the Era. "Happily this era begins to be passing. Recently Percy Peroy, a son of the best stock of the old south, was elected to the United States. Senate from Mississippi upon the distinct announcement, made in a speech in the democratic caucus, that he made his candidacy upon the proposition that THE INTEREST OF AY, MARCH 26, 1910 men should no longer be put into the South whose political characteristic was that they stood as agitators of the race question and kept alive race prejudice. This action upon the part of the state of Mississippi is a hopeful sign that the race question will be greatly minimized, if not taken out of politics, and that the South; freed from this disturbing factor, can, without its bane, influence, address itself to the great economical and industrial questions which affects its welfare, the treatment of which has in the past be so subordinated to the one question which was always present, always persistent and always ominus. Bettering Negro's Condition. With the Negro and the race question out of politics, his condition will be better. he will have a better development, and will participate in any general prosperity which will come more shrewly to that section when political agitation on this question shall cease and those who have led in it give place to men of broader statesmanship and of a patrolotism that embraces in its activities the welfare of the whole country. DR. MASON MAKES PLEA FOR HIS RACE "THE SECOND EMANCIPATION" IS THEME FOR A FORCEFUL ADDRESS. Washington, March 24th—Dr. M. C. Mason, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church, delivered a magnificent address last Tuesday evening, to a packed audience at Metropolitan A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association Dr. Mason's theme was "The Second Emancipation"—an emancipation that will free the Negro race from false social standards, false moral standards, from political slavery, from the tyranny of creeds, from internal distrust and captious criticisms and from the cowordice that is sapping the vitals of our manhood and womanhood. He stood up for the single standard of morality for man and woman, and insisted that our women be accorded the same profound respect that the men of other races accord to theirs. He claimed the inherent right of the race to the ballot, to untrammeled citizenship and help that they should be chosen to high office if they possess the necessary qualifications for good service. Dr. Mason in concluding, said he believed that the best interests of a country are more securely guarded when all the citizens participate in the affairs of government. PASTOR OFF FOR CONFFRENCE True Reformers Give Him A Purse (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Winchester, Va., March 24.—Rev, L A Carter, pastor of John Mann M. E church, left Monday for conference at Pittsburg. The members and friends of the church are very anxious for the return of Rev. Carter. He has done good work here in the year. Before leaving for conference he was presented a handsome suit of clothes, a hat and a nice little purse of money from Ever Willing Fountain. G. O. of True Reformers as a token of their appreciation. A conundrum supper was given on St. Patrick's day which was very successful. Mrs. Harry Johnson, of Harrisburg, Pa., who has been in the city on business has returned home. Mrs. Charles Strange. of Connellsville. Pa. was in the city this week. The funeral of Mr. Jacob Philips took place on Tuesday evening. Mr. Michael Ramsey and Mrs. Margaret.

The Colonel Is Doing Some Traveling In These Days—Lecturing And Preaching And Getting Around Among The People and Schools—Meets Bishop Grant And Thinks He Is a Great Man—Meets A Large Number Of People Who Are Doing Things In This World. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Louisville, Ky.—You find me one more time in Louisville, but I have been doing a little riding before I reached here and I have been to a few places, and you will have to bear with me if you want to know anything about it. It is a long jump from Paola, Kansas, to Louisville, Ky. You see I was in Paola for the first time and just had to look and look, and then I want to Kansas City, Mo., and spent the day and night. I spent Sunday in the town, with Rev E. Arlington Wilson. He is one of the great meu and he is doing a great work for the Lord and His people. Rev. Wilson is a preacher from the word go, and has made a record preaching the word. This is because he has had a wife by his side. I find that it is a great thing to have a wife and a good one at that. It was on Sunday morning, that I had the pleasure of first calling on Bishop Grant and with him we went over to church, he going to Allen Chapel A. M. E. church, and I going to the Second Baptist church on the hill. Two large churches right opposite each other. I preached the Word in one and Bishop Grant in the other. Bishop Grant is a great man and is doing a great work for God and the race. Now you want to know something about the church where I preached. It was the Second Baptist church and the pastor of this church is Rev. S. W. Bacote, D. D., who is the counter of Negro Baptists in this country and this alone will tell you that he has a big as well as important position. He is a graduate from the old Richmond Theological Seminary, which is now the Union University, Richmond, Va. He has made a good record and his church is one of the best in the country. I saw something there that I have never seen before in anybody's church, when the time comes for collection, they did not do a lot of singing but the organ played and everybody in the church was up down their money. Those who were members of the church had their money all counted in an envelope and just put it on the table. After it was all counted it the church dismissed then they counted it. The church presented me with $5.00 on my trip to Europe. You see I am getting it in little by little and it will not be so long before I will have it all in, and then I can go to the place. I am going abroad and you will have the benefit of all I see and hear if I do not see and hear too much. Before turning from this point I want to extend congratulations to Dr Bacote and his people, and may they be able to do this thing many more times. You see I spent the day there and as I have told you about Dr. Wilson before I shall not take up time to tell you again; It would take up a, whole letter to tell you about Kansas. City, but I did not remain there. I had been invited more than a month ago by the Rev. S. B. Buller, D. D., LL. D. A. M., and all the other things, but S. B. A. I. he had made the trip to Iowa, and he had decided he did not want to meet his highness, and meet his people, hence when I got to Palmyra. Mo. the Rev. Dr. Butler was away, attending to his business and had sent me word, just a day or two before to come; but there was no way for me to get the word as I was moving, and had put it down on his word. Some praachers so far narrow, so unreliable, until you cannot trust them to even, to heaven. I would not like to depend on some, or them to get into heaven; and Rev. Butler belongs to that class, as I see it. He should be the pastor of all the big Baptist churches. He should be the Bishop of the Baptist church. I stopped a few hours in Palmyra, and then on to Hannibal. I had the pleasure of stopping over night with Mrs. Agnes Quarry, where I had been invited to visit Rey, T. L. Smith and to make an address at the A. M. E. church for the Rev. Dr. Sydes. Rev. D. J. H. Sydes had the church, full of people to hear what I had to say, and they invited me to come back again, and the newspapers there reported all I said to the people. I thank them for the nice things they said about me and my speeches. Rey, T. L. Smith, made the prayer and Dr. Sydes introduced me to the people. On to Chicago was the next part. I have never been to Chicago when I felt so bad as I did the other day when I was there. When I went over to Wood street, and it was then that I Continued on Page 4. GREBOES MAY GET A SPANKING CRUISER BIRMINGHAM ORDERED TO LIBERIA TO LOOK MATTERS OVER. Bureau of the AFBO-AMERICAN LEIDER. 1918 11th St. N. W. Washington, D. O., March 23. In response to the request of the Liberian Government, made through the American Legation at Monrovia, the United States crusier Birmingham, Captain Fletcher, has been ordered to proceed forthwith to the Liberian capital. President Barley represented to the State Department that his government is powerless to hold in check the tribes of Greboes, a powerful people inhabiting the region of the Cabbali River, adjoining French territory to the southeast of Liberia. They are, besieging the town of Harper, Cape Palmas, where there are considerable American missionary interests. The object of the insurrection seems to be force the Liberian government to purchase peace The Liberians requested the United States to send a gunboat to their coast, so as to add prestige to their efforts to regain and assert their authority over the disaffected natives. Under the treaty of 1862 Liberia confers upon the government of the United States the right to intervene on their request in such affairs. The report of conditions in Liberia and recommendations for their improvement, which has been prepared by the United States Commission sent to Liberia about a year ago, will probably be sent to Congress within the next few days. This commission was made up of Roland P. Faulkner, Emmett J. Scott and Dr. George Sale, and its investigations were very thorough and informing. The result will doubtless be of great benefit to the Liberian people. WOMEN IN CHARGE Take A Good Collection For The Church. (Special to the Afro-American.) Pecomoke City, March 24. The women had charge of the services at Saint John A. M. E. church, Sunday and as a result of their labors, a good collection was raised. Rev. Abraham Victor preached at the morning service and the pastor at the evening service. A supper was given at St. John's hall on Wednesday evening by the Stewardesses of the church, which was a fine affair. Rev. Samuel Matthews preached at the Zion M. E. church Sunday morning and the Rev. Abraham Victor sitting at Miss Blanche Dickens of Philadelphia, is spending a few days here with Miss Georgia James, who has been quite ill is improving. Miss Cassie J. Quinn is convalescing. Mr. John E. Gillett, is spending a few days in Philadelphia. The Silver Leaf Quartette, of Snow Hill, gave a concert at the Odd Fellows hall Monday night.

We had scarcely reached the outskirts of the city, when Bethea, who was occupy- Ing a chair in the parlor car. threat- ened to chastise Williams, because ‘of no apparent reason, other than he took exception to the porter being 4 negro. “A short time later the porter again had occasion to pass through the car. He was busy opening a ventilator, when Bethea arose and lunged toward him. ‘The porter hur- ‘iedly Jeft the car and reported the matter to Conductor Wellman. Wellman told Williams to remain out of the car mules it was absolute- ly nezessary for him to enter. De- ‘then, in the meantime, had taken a seat in a coach. “When the’ train was between Havre de Grace and Newark the por- ter started through the coach, not noticing Bethea. Bethea: was ap- parently dozing in his seat, but just as the colored man passed him he rose and said: ‘You d—d nigger, Vl shoot you full of holes.” “Williams was less than fonr feet from the enraged man, and as De- thea spoke Williams ‘turned half ronnd in evident surprise. As he did so Bethea fired a bullet into the ‘porter’s heart. Williams fell back into a seat. and as Conductor Well- man approached the murderer fired again. “By this time pandemonium reigned. ‘There were about 30 per- sons In the car and they made a tush for both doors. As Wellman spoke to Bethea the latter turned, livid with rage. and placing his re- volver almost against the conduc- tor's chest fired. Wellman dropped without moving on inch. “fn the meantime the train had reached Newark, Del.

Brought here to jail, she face ed her accusers with a calm greatly out of keeping with the gravity of the crime with which she is charged and told them unemotionally that her sister was dead before she left the house. y ‘The most damaging evidence which has been procured against the girl is the admitted fact that she purchased strychnine at a local drug ‘store shortly before her sister's death, and also bought a small quan- tity of chloroform. The girl claims that she bought the strychnine for a man whose name she has so far refused to di- vulge, This man, she declares, sub- sequently handed her two capsules whieh, she claims, she believed to contain quinine.

The recent annual report of the central branch of the Young Women's Christian association in Brooklyn reveals some very interesting facts. For instance, at the central there are 116 life members, 37 sustaining members, 247 active members, 1,330 associate members and 120 junior members. The eastern district branch has 33 sustaining members, 24 subscribing members, 81 active members, 214 associate members and 103 junior members. The Lexington avenue branch, which membership is wholly made up of Afro-American women, has 9 auxiliary, 15 active, 27 junior and 218 associate members, which brings the total number of members in the association up to 5,000. The point which strikes our attention most forcibly in the above count is the amazingly large number of associate members. Think of it! Out of a total membership of 2,910 only 1,139 hold church membership, or, in other words, are Christians. This fact of itself should be sufficient to arouse the interest and activity of Christian workers throughout the country to labor more fervently to win souls to Christ. NEW HONOR FOR R. I. DRAKE. Former Member of Tenth Cavalry Appointed to Responsible Position. Among the progressive and influential men of our race in Cleveland, O., Robert I. Drake occupies a conspicuous place. Mr. Drake became a resident of Cleveland a little less than ten years ago, but his influence and activity and the headway which he has gained along many lines of usefulness would indicate a much longer period. Unlike many of our young men, Mr. Drake nourished the spirit of ambition and self reliance which fired his youthful breast at his home near Lexington, Ky., and which was rekindled during his residence in Chautauqua, N. Y., from whence he went to Cleveland. He is well educated and has won oratorical honors. Mr. Drake won the prize for oratory at Oberlin college in [Name] HOBERT L. DRAKE the seventeenth annual union oratorical contest. His subject was "Our Heritage From the Greeks." Besides being a brilliant orator, scholar and politician, Mr. Drake is a soldier, having been a member of the "Fighting Tenth" United States cavalry during the Spanish-American war. He married in the well known Sides family of Cleveland. In his new position as sanitary patrolman Mr. Drake wears his honors like a veteran. BUSY WORKERS IN NOBLE CAUSE.

For a score of years this circle of women has been doing charitable work along various lines, and many needy persons have been the recipients of its benefence. The twentieth annual dramatic entertainment of the circle will be held on Tuesday evening, April 19, at Prospect hall, Brooklyn, for which ample preparation has been made. The literary entertainments given by the circle are always of a high order, both pleasing and instructive. The drama for this occasion has been thoroughly rehearsed, and those who are to take part are among Brooklyn's favorite amateur players. The proceeds are, of course, for the Home For Aged Colored People. Notable Event For Bethel Church. At the ninety-first anniversary and recital of Bethel A. M.

April 27, a cantata entitled "Joseph the King" will be rendered by a large company of young amateur artists and professional persons. The Rev. Dr. R. C. Ranson, pastor of the church, and the various official boards are leaving nothing undone which could possibly contribute to the success of the celebration. TRUE FRIEND OF THE RACE. Henry Artus Says More Negroes Should Engage In Business. In a recent address to Afro-Americans in New York Henry Artus, a prominent and influential white man, who numbers among some of his most intimate friends a large number of business and professional men of our race, said: "As a wellwisher of your race I beg to offer a suggestion. Even a casual observer knows that no race or people take so little advantage of business opportunities in the northern cities as do the Negroes. Before an Italian can speak our language he owns a push cart or stand from which he sells fruits, candy or most anything. Syrians own stores and factories. Even Chinamen have various kinds of businesses of their own. In neighborhoods where colored people are numerous one occasionally sees a barber shop or small grocery store owned by a Negro. "Why a larger number do not engage in business is hard to understand. In certain parts of the city shoe stores, clothing stores and, in fact, all sorts of business places would do a fine business if conducted by Negroes. It cannot be said that colored people lack ability, because records of schools and colleges show that many high averages are made by Negroes. Enterprise and push are what are needed. In some of the southern cities banks, stores and factories are being successfully conducted by people of your race. "I heard Booker T. Washington and was pleased by his accounts of progress among your people in the south. Why don't some of your leaders do something up north? A general store in every colored neighborhood, if properly conducted, would be a success. If conducted on a share plan many families would own a part and the custom of your own people would insure success. I know many of your race who could plan out such a scheme and hope I may hear of its being done soon." CHURCH BOUGHT SLAVES. Portraits of Slaves Sold From Beecher's Pulit Presented to Congregation. The ugly days just before the civil war were recalled to the minds of the older members of Plymouth church in Brooklyn recently when General Horatio C. King, a veteran of the war and for many years clerk of the church, gave to the congregation on behalf of the donors portraits of two of the three slave girls who were purchased by the Society of Plymouth Church and received their freedom. Sally Maria Driggs, who was called "Pink," and one of the two colored Edmondson sisters were the girls whose pictures were presented. In the frame containing the picture of Sally Driggs were also two bills of sale, one by the owner of "Pink" to the Rev. John Blake Falkner and the other by the latter to Henry Ward Beecher. Sally Driggs was sold from the pulpit of Plymouth church on Feb. 5, 1860. In face and general appearance Sally, who was but nine years old, showed scarcely a trace of African blood. Although but $000 was asked by her owner for the girl, the people of Plymouth eagerly gave money and jewelry to the sale of $1,500 to secure her freedom. When Mr. Beecher announced the result the congregation gave a cheer and rushed forward to embrace the child. Mr. Falkner was at that time a student at the Fairfax Theological seminary and was connected with the Plymouth Sunday school. Sally's mother appealed to him to save the pretty child from a life of slavery. Mr. Falkner bonded himself to secure the owner's price for the girl or to return her to her master and brought her north. Sally was adopted by a woman, a member of Plymouth. It was at the instance of Harriet Beecher Stowe that the Edmondson sisters were afterward purchased and freed by the church. Some Phases of the Last Enumeration, Which Were Grossly Inaccurate. Prominent Educator Classed as Illiterate. The worthlessness of the last census report, so far as its accuracy of statement regarding the Negro is concerned, is attested by the following incident. We omit names. In the summer of 1900 a well known gentleman, desiring to put the census bureau to the test, asked the director to procure the original schedules of four well know Negroes resident in different cities of the south. The schedules were in due course produced. One of these Negroes was a prominent and distinguished churchman who was put down as "illiterate;" another, a well known journalist, was put down as a "laborer;" a third, a noted teacher, whose name is a household word, could neither read nor write; the fourth was returned as incorrectly as the others. Further comment is unnecessary. Ravages of Jealousy and Prejudice. The Cadiz (Ky.) Informer says: When a fellow is eaten up by jealousy and prejudice he is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. He is narrow and selfish and naturally eaten up as if by cancer that stands in the way of his progress and advancement. He goes forth with a forked tongue to assail and destroy every man he imagines standing in his way. Afro-Americans have no time to encourage a spirit of this kind among their leaders Banks, argues the Commoner, can afford to keep open short hours because the interest works all the time. To touch a man's heart, whines the Philadelphia Record, a sermon shouldn't be obliged to bore its way in. From the character of the weather the one best guess, of the Detroit Free Press, is that somebody discovered the North Pole and left the door open. Many a man who isn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth dies, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, with a gold plate in it. Webster said, "The past at least is secure." The past is never secure, objects the Christian Register, for all that it has left to us may be wrecked or thrown away by an improvident generation. An American was found dead in London with his pockets full of money. This is one way of avoiding the tipping evil, suggests the Detroit Free Press. Reorganization plans are being considered to get International Salt out of pickle, puns the Wall Street Journal. Russia, explains the Washington Star, does not care how much trouble Alaska's natural resources may cause, any more than Spain cares about the future of the Philippines. The magnificent statue of Christopher Columbus which stands in the plaza before the railroad station in Genoa shows the figure of an American Indian crouching at his side holding a cross in his hand. The sculptor is guilty of an anachronism. It was the double-cross which Mr. Colon gave the aborigines. A girl of Prince Edward's Island causes her neighbors extraordinary sensations, and is charged by them with being possessed of a devil, which has resisted exorcism, relates the Buffalo Courier. An eminent psychologist who has been investigating the case advances the theory that by involuntary hypnotism the young woman creates delusions in the minds of those around her. This may be so—and perhaps not! The most remarkable thing in connection with the bill to change the date of the inauguration of the President and the term of Congress to the last Thursday in April is that the members of the House Judiciary Committee agreed to it unanimously, observes the Philadelphia Record. This is one of the largest of the committees, and contains a ton and a half of constitutional lawyers. "Who shall decide when doctors disagree," says Pope; but when eighteen constitutional lawyers agree to anything it must be regarded as practically done. Let the newly rich live in princely museums, cluttered up with the loot of dogs' palaces. Let other people envy these, if they will, until they learn the truth about "high life." There comes a time, prophesies the New York World, when experience teaches every man, even of modest means, that a dinner of herbs at home is better than the spread at some "swell" restaurant with onyx staircases and frescoed ceilings where you have to give three tips to hang up your coat and hat, and then can't read anything on the menu except the appalling prices. The cetadorus is a new London visitor. He is a stuffed fish with a head like the green morays in the New York aquarium, and forms a part of the window exhibit made by Queensland in an effort to lure Londoners to Australia, where they would have to work for a living instead of being fed by the Salvation Army. He is three feet long, but can grow bigger. Turtles and other natural history specimens keep him company. Canada also has a window on the Strand where fine apples and big ears of yellow corn are displayed to contemplative Cockneys. Whatever one may think of American appreciation of grand opera, whether genuine or forced, one can not doubt that the operetta is popular in this country, submits the Indianapolis News. It might. one would think, be easily developed into better forms and so be a medium of sincere musical expression in America. That is the idea presented by Walter Prichard Eaton in the Craftsman. He points to the constant success of so-called musical comedies, not as evidence of depraved taste, but as an evidence of a demand and hunger for native, comprehensible and spontaneous stage entertainment with accompaniment of music and rhythm. This hunger is forced to content itself with cheap stuff, because many of the abler writers and musicians, with a false ideal as to the demands of their art, fail to catch the real spirit of the people and to give expression to it in genuinely artistic forms. That the public is just as eager for first-rate work in these lines is abundantly proved by the prolonged success of operetas of real artistic merit. The fact that real art lies close to the people is something that, oddly enough, has to be discovered over and over again. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly, of Trade says; In spite of a number of abnormal, puzzling and disturbing developments the volume of business is large and steadily expanding as the spring season opens and weather conditions improve. The expansion noted in iron and steel continues chiefly in finished materials. There are intimations that the volume of new business in these lines has been exaggerated, but it is evident nevertheless that a very considerable tonage is being placed, and inquiries now pending afford much encouragement. The railroads are replenishing old equipment, and activity in the structural division is a prominent feature of the situation. It is estimated that buying from the latter source is at the rate of 100,000 tons monthly in the more important contracts, but cutting of prices suggests that there is sharp competition among fabricating mills. Trade irregularity is still manifest, but reports as a whole show a still further improvement, due to the advance of the spring season. Improvement in weather, and coincidentally in trade reports, is most manifest in the agricultural sections of the West, Northwest and Southwest, while the reports from the East and parts of the South show the development of spring business retarded by the lingering of winter. However, the unsettled labor outlook in many lines of industry, the effect of high prices as limiting demand or, as in the case of cotton goods, inducing curtailment of production, and the tendency to await judicial decisions in several important cases are all laid stress upon. On balance, there is little disposition to deny that trade is considerably better than a year ago, a period also of waiting trade, and far in excess of this time two years ago, but the rate of progress is slower than sanguine expectations had led to expect.

Just five days more of the Mary- and Legislature, for which let us be thankful. What will the Maryland Legislature do? If you are asking us, we rankly confess we do not know. Is it a fact that we have a Repub- can majority in the House of Repr- entatives? It does not look that The ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church will all be home from Conference next week. Let us give them a royal welcome. "Uncle Joe" seems to have arrived at the place where he is beginning to inquire in the language of Tom Ochiltree: "Where are we at." St. Patrick's Day was a school holiday. Now the next thing in order will be Allen's Day. If not, why not? Allen was a pretty good allow even if his skin was black. For the first time in many years he sons of the "Green Isle" held a parade in honor of their patron aint, and wonderful to relate the weather man was on his good behavior and gave then a very pleasant day. This is not the first time Mr. Oregon Benson has seen fit to say unpleasant things about the Afro-American, notwithstanding the fact that at one time he occupied a seat in the City Council from the Sevenen Ward by the grace of the votes in the Afro-Americans of that ward. gratitude is an awful thing. For some reason or other in these latter days the wisacres of the nation seem to have gotten it into their heads that the only real solution of the so-called Negro problem or the Negro to be entirely eliminated from politics. The Negro must be kept out of office, must not be allowed to vote, in fact must simply be relegated to a semi-sort of lavery, without actually being a slave. He must allow the white people to make all the laws under which he lives; he must not sit on chairs; must not hold any office of profit or trust but simply confine him self to working the six days out of even and then on the seventh go to march and be a real good "nigger." And the worst of it is that since the advent of President Roosevelt, when he principal of the "Open Door" and of the "All Men Up" was established the poor Negro has been going farther and farther back into the woods, with but little hope for the future. The very latest along this line is secretary Dickinson, of the War department, who has been giving his views of the situation, and of which we give a synopsis in another column. However, Mr. Dickinson is from the South, but we believe he but voices the sentiment of his chief, and to no small extent, the party under which he has excepted office. The Republican party seems to have almost broken away from its old moorings entirely. It is now running after strange gods, and it keeps on going the way it seems to be going, it will be but a short time before we will not know what it really does stand for. That it is not the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Greely and Grant goes without saying. Just what it does stand for is at present very hard to tell. One thing, however, it does not seem to stand for what is best in the Negro. Somehow or other, it seems to have gotten it into its head that the Negro has a place, and that an inferior one, and that by all means, good or bad, he ought to get into it and stay there. Now then, what is the Negro going to do about it? The situation looms up very largely that unless he takes the matter in his own hauds and commences to work out the problem to his own advantage, the time will come when it will be worked out for him and to his detriment. There is a steady determined effort on the part of the South to take the ballot away from the Negro for all time to come and it is within their purpose also, to make the North believe that unless it takes sides with toe South that in a few years it will be as bad off as it is. And judging from present appearances the North is looking that way. Something must be done and the Negro must do it. WE WANT ONLY THE BEST. Iust now the African Methodist Episcopal Church seems to be getting into the limelight in a very unpleasant way. Down in Georgia, Bishop Smith seems to be anything but popular with his ministers and they are having trouble and plenty of it. And what is true of Georgia is true of Bishop Smith's administration everywhere he has been. One of the biggest mistakes the African Methodist Episcopal Church ever made was the election of this man in the first place. In Phiadelphia, the "mother" church seems to be having more than its share of troubles with a very unpopular pastor. Several times he has been haled into court, and the end seems to be not yet. Here Bishop Gaines seems to be having his troubles, and there is considerable dissatisfaction in the New Jersey Conference. Out in Chicago, Bishop Parks was cited to appear in court, but settled the trouble, so it is said "out of court." These things are not helping this denomination at all, and it is hoped that in the future we will see and hear less of them. Baltimore has been singularly free from trouble of this kind and it is hoped that it will continue. The pulpits of Baltimore have been filled for sometime with an exceptionally good class of men, and it is our proud privilege to testify to the excellent work they have done both for their churches and for the community. The Bishops who have the appointments to make for this city will do the city as well as their churches a good.turn by only sending us the very best class of men they can find. Baltimore wants no cast offs. EASTER. So much has been said each year along the line of Easter joy that one hardly knows what to say, or rather particularly emphasize. Easter is not only a Christian festival, but it is the greatest and most important of all. Every Lord's Day is a little "Easter." One is a weekly commoration and the other is an annual commoration. Easter is a monument to the abolition of death. Death has been abolished. When Christ rose from the dead He destroyed death. So death has been destroyed, and the gate of Everlasting Life thrown open to all of the sons of the Second Adam. What we usually speak of as "death" is but an inevitably necessary process by which the Eternal Life begun on earth, in the soul, may, without hindrances and obstructions, enter into the largeness and beauty of that life which the Son of God came to imput. Death, physical death, is the necessary result of imperfection and the necessary end of it. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Unless by some means the material and temporal part of man is separated from the spiritual, the eternal will continue to be impaired and hindered. The final preparation for entering upon Eternal Life in its fullness must consist in the abandonment of the non-eternal elements. These strictly human and material concerns must be unhorsed from the spiritual man, and it is this parting of the human from the spiritual that we have what is known as physical death. But this "death" is swallowed up in the victory of life. Like a bird set free from its cage, the real man, with his "panting after the living God" (forever thereafter er unimpeded by things material, and yielding perfect correspondence to the environment of his whole being, which is God, enters in a larger, nobler sphere of life, Life Eternal. This then, is the blessed thing which Christianity presents. With all this in one's mind he has no difficulty in appreciating the expression of Paul when he said, "To die is gain," And with all this in view, such passages in the Scriptures as "Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and was glad," and "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living" become radiant with inspiration and blessing. It is almost inaccessible for any rational human being to really believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and not subordinate every ambition and exercise to that of possessing "Eternal Life." But it may be asked why is not all this perfectly clear to the most of men? Which answer is most evident. Because of unbelief. Spiritual things cannot be discerned with human faculties. The super-natural is as much man's rightful environment, as that we call the natural. 'His spiritual faculties go out after God, for whom they were made, and just in proportion as he seeks to live in that atmosphere, in such a degree does he apprehend the things of God. Hardly could we close these thoughts more fittingly, than in using those beautiful words. Whence at this season of the year bring unspeakable joy into the lives of millions of our fellow citizens who look for immortality. "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is Christ Jesus Our Lord." THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY. That we have made many mistakes in our political endeavor can not be doubted. It is hardly possibly that any well-balanced man would dare dispute such an evident fact. For some cause or another, we have too often been responsible for aiding in seending small men to the City Council. At the present time there is a republican statesman in the Second Branch of the City Council, wko, quite likely, would have been to-day elsewhere than the council chamber apart from the suffrages of colored men. Whether that gentleman seriously considers the interests of the many colored people in his district, in his deliberations in the council chamber, we can not tell. But we are sure of one thing, and that is, that the liberal ideas with respect to civic righteousness, and practical policies for the betterment of the masses, as set forth in the type of citizens represented by Dr. Rosenau and Mrs. Daniel Miller, are fought with more genuine good and helpfulness to our people in this city, than notions from wayback which seem to be fogging the brain of the gentleman from South Baltimore. Whatever may be the final issue of the present controversy with respect to the School Board, there is one clear and unmistakable lesson which ought to impress itself more and more upon all intelligent colored citizens. During the past ten years so great has been our educational progress, in connection with our colored schools, and the entire elimination of white teachers from the same, that it seems almost short of a miracle, yea, in a degree, it has been nothing less than the unfolding of a moral miracle before our eyes. It will be a sad commentary upon the commonsense, not to say intelligence of the colored people, in view of the terrible past, if they are are ready to exchange such friends as Mr. VanSiekle and Mrs. Miller, for the kind of so-called friends as those who favor a return to the old system, and whose conspicuous representative is the gentleman in the city council whose presence there was made possible by the suffrages of colored men. There are good Republicans, and there are those not so good, and when it comes to the election of men to carry on this city government of ours, the one thought which should supremely dominate the minds and consciences of colored men, is that of securing, that kind and class of men whose character, intelligence and general fitness will enable them to rise above that littleness which is characteristic of the ordinary ward politician, whether he be Democrat or Republican. It takes but a small amount of intellectual culture upon the part of a colored man, for him to realize that the type of men who during the past ten years have dominate the School Board, are by nature, acquirement and every other way; more favorable to his advancement than that old ring of political vendors who in both parties have sought to profit by mislead and moral, corruption. Whatever may be the outcome of the suffrage agitation, we certainly can congratulate ourselves upon one thing, and that is the "good old days" when Negroes could be counted upon to vote solidly for anything and everything on a certain political ticket; have forever passed away. The mind has at last been infettered, and colored men besitate no longer in giving the black eye to breeders of strife and political loafers, upon whatever ticket they may roost, and cast their suffrage for men whose sense of fair play and justice will insure an administration of affairs in the best and highest interest of all the people of the community, regardless of color or poverty. SHYLOCK AND Dr. Johnson Speaks To Students On "Shylock, The Jew"—Advises Race Against Using Vindicative Methods As Shylock Did To Antonio In The "Merchant Of Venice. That peaceful, manly assertion and not the use of the weapons of prejudice would bring the Negro into his own in this country was the opinion ventured by Rev. L. Z. Johnsen, pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian Church, in an address on "shylock, the Jew," before the students of the Colored High School a few days ago. Dr. Johnson in his addres, reviewed the characters in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, widely picturing the characteristics of Shylock, the Jew, and Antonia, the Christian. He mentioned the Hebrew characteristics of being prudent and crafty in business, and said that Shylock was wrong in pursuing his vindicativ spirit too far, but that the circumstances were somewhat extinguating as the Hebrew race was greatly oppressed in that day. After picturing the American Negro as a Shylock living in a prejudiced atmosphere, he advised against the attempt at revenging wrongs as Shylocks made in the Merchant of Venice, declaring that revenge always would recoil to the benefit of the modern Antonios. He said in concluding: "Bigotry and prejudice must go; they cannot live before the growing light and onward, upward era of social generation now ushered in. Patience is our wisdom, coupled with high, steadfast endeavor for right and worthy living ourselves. Fear not, be not deswayed; we shall yet come into our own. "Civilization" is upward trending, under the hand of God, and men are grawing wiser in the things of right and broader in the things of common, human interest and sympathy. A public conscience has evolved, and in our day is more and more becoming enlightened and insistent in its demands for social righteousness. MINISTER LYON Dr. Ernest Lyon, United States Minister Resident and Consul General at Monrovia, Liberia, sailed from Fortress Monroe last Sunday afternoon on the United States Cruiser Birmingham for his post. He was accompanied by Lieut. Benjamin O. Davis, recently appointed military attache at the American legation at Monrovia, and, it is said carried along with him sealed instructions regarding this government's attitude toward Liberia. The sending of Minister Lyon on a war vessel is taken to indicate that this government intends to take a fatherly interest in Liberia. Minister Lyon has been in frequent consultation with officials of the Department of State regarding the recommendations made by the American commission that visited Liberia last Spring. While in this country, Dr. Lyon was the recipient of much attention socially and made many friends for the little West African republic. Stations Of The Cross. One of the most beautiful stations of the cross in any local Cathol c Church has been placed in St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, Fremont street, above Presstman. The stations cost $700.00. Father J. J. Nally, pastor of the church, has arranged for special music. Easter Sunday. Mrs. Edward Scott, of Harrisburg, Pa., will visit Mrs. James Hunter, of 737 George street, during the Easter Holidays. Notes for this column addressed to Mr. Beckett, care of this office, will receive careful attention. -Ed. The Baltimore High School basketball team will contest with Howard Academy team for the Inter-Scholastic championship, Friday, April 1st, 1910. Every one in Baltimore should see this game. Union League Hall on East Baltimore street, will be the place where these two teams will meet, Captain Shipley and Manager Bishop, assisted by the squad are working hard to win the laurels for Baltimore. Baseball enthusiasts are limbering up and getting into form. This year promises to be a record breaker, men are becoming skilled and the game is very scientific. Baltimore Orioles are flying again. Can they see the pennant? Every one is talking of the basketball game on April 1st. Are you going? Go and root for the Baltimore boys. J. O. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, is champion college gymnast, as a result of the individual competition held in connection with the annual inter-collegiate gymnastic meet held at Princeton, March 19th. Kelly scored 216 points, mutilzer, of Columbia, 215; Clark, of Princeton, 212. A great many visitors from Washington will be over to witness the basketball game at Union Hall on April 1st. Former Champion Jeffries will train in an ideal spot near Santa Cruz Mountains. He and his staff expect to muster all the forces of nature and sciences necessary to put him in the "pink" of condition. Swimming is a popular exercise. It is one of the best for constitutional vigor and muscular development. The majoritp of people are to lazy to breathe; that is, to breathe properly and sufficiently. Take air in great, copious draughts — always through the nostrils. "He who breathes through his mouth takes into his lungs more of death than of life." Mouth breathers are always shallow breathers; consumptives, as a rule, are mouth breathers. Shut your mouth. Take long, deep breathes. The Public Athletic League has a big meet at the fifth Regimont Armory, April 2nd. Entries are reaching the 900 mark. The Australian football game is said not to be dangerous. The combined method of open play prevents the game from closing up and the teams from personal encounter. The American game will finally decide upon a style of game just as vigorous, energetic and healthful bat not so dangerous. --- St. Christopher basketball team of New York plays the Y. M. C. A. team in Washington tonight. It will be a treat to see the Baltimore High School play Howard Preps, and the Y. M. C. A., M street, here at Union Hall, April 1st. Baske, ball is a popular game.

BALTIMOREAN INJURED Wikes Barre, Pa., March 23—Mr. Allen Brown, a former Baltimoreorean was seriously injured in Scranton last week, by having his shoulder blade broken, and his right arm and left leg injured. His condition at present is favorable. missed Mrs. Irene L. Camp. I could hardly realize that she had crossed the river until I looked around this time, and she was not there. I found Miss Irene Lucas, who isister in charge and Miss Alice Andrews was g*thing ready for her. I could see the books and papers, the photographs and other things indicating the great work of a great woman. But she had finished her work and is now at rest. Mr. Camp has decided to hold the family together and turn his and turn his attention to keeping house. Jessie is the housekeeper and she knows how to keep house, and then she is a clerk in the Recorder's office and she knows how to clerk. She is a well trained young woman, and is now taking up the home life of her sister. From Chicago I went to Cincinnati. When I reached town I was met at the stable early in the morning by Miss Kathryn McRoberts, one of the teachers in the public school system I met her when she left the school room and recommended her to Rev. C. H. Parrish, who employed h-r to teach in Eckstein Norton University in Kentucky. She made a book a good orer and has been since. She has felt grateful to me and has invited me time and again to visit Cincinnati, and this time I decided to make the trip. I was invi ed to deliver the first talk in the new Bethel church West Wainaut Hill. She escorted me to the home of her parents, and her mother, a noble character, and a motherly woman, received me, and then I visited the public school, and put off writing about the school until I received it. I will not have the time to tell you about this wonderful school system and fine teachers. Miss McLoberta is one of the deserving young women of our church. While she is well educated and the like, yet she is not above church work and she is working hard as any one in the church to pay for the new church. They have a lovely church and lovely people with it. Now this visit was there to raise some money for the church, and I am of opinion that she raised in a neighborhood of $80. How much make this was. The people there to hear me. Well I talked to them all I knew what to say and they had but to listen. I had the pleasure of seeing a black man in the treasury department, acting as one of the paymasters, and saw them white policemen walk up and receive money from his hands. He handles hundreds of thousand dollars every week, and can account for every cent of it. Did you know that a man of race race this and this is this money for a city full of prejudice? This is what W. P. Dabney is doing. He is a scholar and gentleman. I had the pleasure of visiting the Central Regalia Company. This was the office of J. L. Jones. He is a busy man, and employs many clerks. I called on the clerks at dinner time and found them all eating. My letter is already long and I have I will have to leave off. I have been to Frankfort, and before this letter reache the office, I will have been to Nashville, Columbia, and will be in Briarham, Ala, attending the State Teachers' Association. Look for my letter next week and I will have a few more things to tell you about Cincinnati and my trip. I have withdrawn from the special ship, and will let you know about it in another letter. I am going to Scotland, and I am getting ready for that. The students of the State University have given me $3.00. I will tell you a few things about the students and teachers and president in another. I will soon be headed for the East. I am going to Atlantic City, and will deliver a special lecture in Baltimore May 25th. Now the people who wanted me to visit them will have to write to me at the office, 307 St. Paul street, Baltimore, Md. I will have a few days I can use for lectures, if you will take them up with me now. PREPARING FOR CONFERENCE Public School Observes Maryland Day. (Special to Afro-American Ledger.)

With one hundred and eighty women eagerly tugging at a one thousand dollar debt it is sure to be lifted. At least the members of the Colored Empty Stocking and Fresh Air Circle believe that a nine week campaign will free its summer home, at Delight, Md., of its present mortgage. The membership has been divided into eighteen companies or groups of ten, each designated by as many flowers, and each group has pledged itself to raise $50.60 by Friday, May 6th, 1910. The home at Delight was purchased in 1907, at a cost of $1750, of which $750 has been paid.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. 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 pliable 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 remores and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents the itching it causes life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use to constant pleasure. A most useful tool for preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. 225 and 227 West Camden Street Remodeled and refurnished with all modern conveniences. Baths, a specialty. Superb Restaurant.

Legal Lights Of Baltimore Memory of the Great Fight For the Admission of Colored Lawyers to the Maryland Bar Recalled by the Large Number of Successful Attorneys Practicing In Baltimore. By E. F. JOHNSON. It has been just twenty-five years since the admission of colored lawyers to practice in the courts of Maryland. The memory of the long and bitter fight to gain the right therefor recalls some very interesting facts in the history of the struggle. It was back in the year 1876 when James II. Wolff and Charles S. Taylor came to Baltimore with the avowed intention of hanging out their shingles as practicing attorneys. They made application for admission, but the privilege was denied them. The matter was carried to both the lower and higher courts of the state, but in each case met defeat for the reason that there was a law on the statute books of Maryland which permitted only W. C. M'CAIRD. white men to practice law in the state. The Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, pastor of the Union Baptist church, Baltimore, took up the light for the admission of colored lawyers to the bar, and he never rified of the struggle until the supreme court of Baltimore handed down a favorable decision late in March, 1855. It was also the Rev. Dr. Johnson who made the successful fight for the admission of Charles S. Wilson to the bar. Mr. Wilson, who is a graduate of the Boston Law school, was then teaching in one of the county schools of Maryland. Dr. Johnson secured Mr. Wilson's consent to use his name and application for admission to the bar a few months before the decision admitting colored men to the bar was washed down. Dr. Johnson consulted a white attorney, who was legal adviser in the matter, and the latter suggested that they take a walk over to the court-house, as the su the decision ad mittling colored men to the bar was handed down. Dr. Johnson consulted a white attorney, who was legal adviser in the matter, and the latter sug- gested that they take a walk over to the court- house, as the sup- reme court of the city was in G. W. F. M'NEECHEA. session. They went, and after the judges had transacted the business before them they asked the white attorney if there was any matter we wanted to bring before them. He told them he wanted to bring up the question of admitting Charles S. Wilson to the bar and was told that the court of appeals, Maryland's highest tribunal, had already decided against admitting colored men to the bar. Lawyer Hobbs, the attorney in question, cited some late decisions of the United States supreme court involving the fifteenth amendment which made it mandatory that colored lawyers should be allowed to practice in Maryland, and the Baltimore judges decided in his favor, thus setting aside a previous ruling of the highest court in the state. Mr. Wilson never availed himself of the opportunity to be admitted to the out. Brettec J. Waring, now a practicing lawyer in Philadelphia, was the first colored man to be admitted to the bar in Maryland. Mr. Waring was the counsel in the famous Novossa island case, when a number of colored men who rebelled against inhuman treatment in the phosphate mines there were tried in the United States court at B. G. L. BROWN. Baltimore on the charge of riot and murder. Through the exceedingly able defense of Mr. Waring not one of the accused received the maximum penalty under the law. City Councilman Harry S. Cum- mings, the second man to be admitted to the bar, has served longer as a member of the city council than any man, white or black. in Baltimore. A. B. Cornelius C. Fitzgerald has since his admission to the bar, in January, 1894, built up a most lucrative practice. built up a most W. ASHBIE HAWKINS. lucrative practice. He has made a speciality of testamentary law and equity practice and is regarded as an authority on the drawing of wills. He was the executor of the estate of the late W. H. Hall, who left property valued at $80,000. He had charge of the Maryland property of Frederick Douglass, the great anti-slavery agitator. Along with W. Ashlie Hawkins and Warner T. McQuinn, Mr. Fitzgerald was counsel for nine colored men who were tried for the murder" of a constable in Somerset county, Md., four of whom were acquitted. Lawyer Hawkins successfully contended for the rights of colored men to go on the ballot as independent candidates for public office in three instances. W. C. McCard is one of the younger members of the bar and is regarded as one of the most successful. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and a Chicago law school. Among the older members of the bar is W. T. McGuinn. Mr. McGuinn won the Townsend prize for the best thesis on constitutional law when he was graduated from Yale law school in 1884. one of the most successful. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and a Chicago law school. Among the older members of the bar is W. T. McGuinn. Mr. McGuinn won the Townsend prize for the best thesis on constitutional law when he was graduated from Yale law school in 1884. George W. F. McNeechea is another Yale graduate who is forging to the front. He is past exalted ruler of Monumental lodge of Els. Robert G. I. Brown is a Howard university alumnus, who is building up a good practice in Baltimore. Among the other colored members of the Maryland bar are Attorneys W. L. Fitzgerald, H. Rufus White, E. Grant Tyler, Ephraim Jackson, J. Wesley Parker, George L. Pendleton, John Dozier, W. H. Daniels of Baltimore, T. Arlington Thompson and W. H. Thompson of Annapolis. NOTED LAWYER WAS PUT IN JAIL. J. R. Clifford Had New Legal Experience After Wrangle In a West Virginia Court at Mar- When an attorney in good standing is held and jailed for contempt of court for insisting that the court shall subpoena witnesses in a case in which he has been retained as counsel, it is obvious that there is something wrong with the thinking apparatus of the dispensers of justice. It was in such a court that J. R. Clifford of Martinsburg, W. Va., editor of the Pioneer Press and one of the leading Negro lawyers in West Virginia, was recently a victim of a miscarriage of justice in that state and was thrust into jail and kept there for one hour and twenty-nine minutes. The United States commissioner, a man named Lemen, charged Mr. Clifford with being in contempt of court because he insisted that he summon eight witnesses to testify for a man whom he was defending, charged with a trivial offense. Upon the release of Mr. Clifford, which resulted from the bowl raised by leading white citizens of Martinsburg and the editors of the local press, he freed his client without rumplling an eyelash. He should now work on that United States commissioner, who is said to have been drunk when he ordered his court officer to lock up the Negro lawyer. The attorney general will very likely have some remarks to make to this official. Rosy Outlook For Baseball Team. The reorganization of the baseball team of the Henry Athletic club, Pittsburg, has infused new life among its members, who look forward to a heavy schedule of games and a long string of victories for the coming season. The team finished last year with a fine record, under the management of L. S. Willkey, who has resigned and will be succeeded by Jay C. Henry as manager and John W. Wilson as captain. The Henrys hold the colored championship, having won 17 and lost 5 with colored teams. The lineup for 1910 will be strong and prepared to challenge all amateur teams in western Pennsylvania. Lot Branch of Y. M. C. A. Be Organized. We very much commend the movement which is about to take definite shape by our people in Cleveland, O., looking toward the establishment of a branch of the Young Men's Christian association for the young men of the city. Such an organization would not only bring about a closer social and Christian relation between the young men, but would also give them a chance for business and intellectual development on an economical scale. By all means let the branch be organized. Power of Racial Contact Shown. Charles Steelze in a recent discussion of the Negro in American Social Problems says: The higher the standard of living among the Negroes the higher will be the standard of the white people in the same occupation and in the same territory. If the Negro's tendency is toward criminality there is constant incitement to criminal tendencies in the white man. Crimes committed by one race provoke crimes on the part of the other. Funds Nesded For Foreign Missions. the national Baptist foreign mission board, Louisville, Ky., through its secretary, the Rev. L. G. Jordan, is appealing to the churches and Sunday schools of the denomination for large contributions for that branch of its work on Easter Sunday. Let everybody help. The cause is worthy, and the money should be forthcoming. Sunday = School INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR MARCH 27. Subject: Easter—The Empty Tomb, Mark 10:1-8—Commit Verses 6, 7. GOLDEN TEXT. "I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forever more." Rev. 1:18. TIME.—Sunday, April 6, A. D. 30. PLACE.—Jerusalem EXPOSITION—I. Saturday Night, v. 1. The Jewish Sabbath ended Saturday at sunset. As soon as the day was over the shops opened, and Mary Magdalene and her friends bought spices that they might come at early break of day the next morning to the tomb with the spices they had prepared and anoint the dead body of Jesus. It seems from Matthew's account that they also made a brief visit to the tomb on Saturday night (Matt. 28:1, R. V.). II. Early Sunday Morning, 2:8. They started for the tomb while it was yet dark (John 20:1). Mary hurried on a little way ahead of the other women and reached the tomb before the sun had risen (John 20:1). The sun had risen before the other women had reached the tomb at early dawn (Mark 16:2; Luke 14:1). The love of these women for their Lord, whom they fancied dead, brought them thus early to His sepulchre to perform for Him the last services that hir in their power. Part of their faith was gone, but all their love remained. Jesus did not need anointing, and they ought to have known it (Matt. 16:21; 20:19). But their service, though mistaken, was acceptable to Jesus, and he rewarded by a revelation of a glorious truth by angelic messengers. Mary of Bethany was the one who was on time with her anointing (ch. 26:5-18), and she was not in this country. The reason why they did not know that He had left the sepulchre was that they had not listened to and pondered His own words. This is also the reason why we do not know many things about our Lord that we ought to know. None of the men were at the tomb. It was not their superior knowledge but their inferior love that kept them away. They were at home mourning and they were told that the Lord had risen they did not believe it (Luke 20:10; 11; Mark 16:10, 11). The women appeared in a better light than them in this story. Mary Magdalene was the leader of the women (cf. Matt. 28:1). She had so much done for her (Luke 8:2) that she became the leader in love and in these ministries. The depth and genuineness and unselfishness of the love of these women is seen in their going to serve Jesus at the time when their faith was blighted and they had nothing more to expect from Him (1 Cor. 13:8, R. V.). The eagerness of their love is seen in the early hour that found them at the tomb. Few people get up at such an early hour to perform service for Christ. As they drew nigh to the tomb they recalled the great stone at its mouth and wondered who would roll it away for them (v. 3). If they had been more "practical" they might have thought of that before. But the practical, cool headed, common sense that foresees all difficulties, and therefore sits down and does nothing, does not accomplish as much in this world as the uncalculating, impetuous love that follows its own impulses and plunges ahead and risks the difficulties. The difficulty in this case was great (v. 4; Matt. 27:66), but they went right on, and when they had reached the place the difficulty was gone. God sent his own messenger to open the door for them (Matt. 28:2; cf. Acts 12:10). All the precautions the Jews and Romans had taken to keep the disciples out of the tomb prove vain when God took a hand in the matter (cf. Rom. 8:31). God did not roll away the stone for Jesus to get out (cf. John 20:26), but for the women to get in. There is good reason for supposing that Jesus had been out for some hours, that He arose and left the tomb just at the beginning of the first day of the week, that is at sunset Saturday evening. That would make just three days and three nights in the tomb (Wednesday night and Thursday, the yearly Passover Sabbath; Thursday and Friday, the preparation for the weekly Sabbath; Friday night and Saturday, the weekly Sabbath). They did not find what they expected in the tomb, the body of the Lord Jesus was not there (Luke 24:3). On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side arrayed in a white robe. Later two men stood by them in dazzling apparel (Luke 23:4). When Mary returned to the tomb from the city, the two angels were sitting, at one the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain (John 20:12). The women were overwhelmed with perplexity. If they had not forgotten Jesus' words, the true solution would have occurred to them at once. The angel soon gives it in one of the gladest messages this old world ever heard, "He is risen. He is not here." He then bids them see them for themselves and then go and tell others (cf. Matt. 28:7). There is a wonderful touch of tenderness in the 7th verse in the two little words, "and Peter." Why "and Peter?" Was he not one of the disciples? Yes, he the leader of the company. Why, then, "and Peter?" Because Peter had denied his Lord three times with oaths and curses, and if the message had just come to "the disciples," poor, broken hearted, backslidden Peter would have thought he was not included. But the Lord in His tenderness and compassion bids them through His angel to go and tell His disciples, and who ever you tell, be sure you tell Peter. It is deeply significant that this little touch is found only in the Gospel of Mark, which is by common consent, Peter's Gospel, Mark acting as amanuensis.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Brookfield, Mo.—"Two years ago I was unable to do any kind of work and only weighed 118 pounds.

A certain Scotch minister, a newcomer in the parish, finding it impossible to arrest the attention of the congregation, became desperate. No sooner did he appear in the pulpit than they promptly composed themselves to sleep. One evening, after taking up his position he rapped sharply on the ledge in front of him and addressed his somnolent flock in tones of severe remonstrance. "Now, brethren," he said, "it's not fair to go asleep as ye always ha' done directly I begin my sermon. Ye might wait a wee till I get alang, and then if I'm no worth hearing sleep awa' wi ye, and I'll no care; but dinaa go before I ha' commenced. Gie me this one chance." Finding they were all fairly awake by that time, he went on: "I shall take for my text the two words 'Know thyself,' but I will say before I begin the discourse that I would not advise this congregation to make many such profitless acquaintances." There was not a snore nor a nod in the kirk that evening.—London Tit-Bits. Her Efficient Mistress. Mrs. A., who had a shiftless colored maid, was hurrying through her morning's work in order to go out with a friend in the afternoon. As she flew about from room to room she heard the colored woman chuckling to herself as if very much enjoying something. Impatiently, she said: "What in the world is it that amuses you so. Isabel?" "Well, Mist' Bessie, when I heard you gallopin' aroun' upstairs I jes' 'tought if you' been de Lawd it wouldn't 'a' took you no six days to make de hebbens an' de yearth!" —Woman's Home Companion. A Judicial Expert. The native with a stogie met the native with the pipe. "Howdy, Zeb?" quoth the stogie native. "Hear 'bout th' fuss down to th' courthouse?" "Nope." drawled the man with the pipe. "What was it about?" "Why, Jim Simpson has been suing Abner Hawley for alienatin' th' affections of his wife, an' Judge Musgrove told th' jury to bring a verdick of six cents damages, 'cause he thought that was all the damage was worth to Jim. An, Jim's wife got mad an, threw a chair at the Judge, an' he had her arrested an' put in the cooler." "But didn't Jedge go a leetle too far when he fixed her value so low?" "Not at all, not at all. Y' see, he was her first husband!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A LITTLE THING Changes the Home Feeling. Coffee blots out the sunshine from many a home by making the mother, or some other member of the household, dyspeptic, nervous and irritable. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one. A Wis. mother writes: "I was taught to drink coffee at an early age, and also at an early age became a victim to headaches, and as I grew to womanhood these headaches became a part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from them. "About five years ago a friend urged me to try Postum. I made the trial and the result was so satisfactory that we have used it ever since. "My husband and little daughter were subject to billious attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since we began using Postum ins.ead of coffee. I no longer have headaches and my health is perfect." If some of these nervous, tired, irritable women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Postum they would find a wonderful change in their life. It would then be filled with sunshine and happiness rather than weariness and discontent. And think what an effect it would have on the family, for the mood of the mother is largely responsible for the temper of the children. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

Whose Health Has Failed Him. Being Lovingly Cared For by the Society Which Bears His Name. Aid From Many Sources. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The widespread interest which our people are taking in the Rev. William H. Scott of Woburn, Mass., whose health has been steadily tailing for the past three years, is truly remarkable. When Rev. Mr. Scott's condition became serious a few months ago, his means having been exhausted. Editor William Monroe Trotter and others of his immediate friends in race work came to his rescue in a financial way and started a subscription fund which was the nucleus for what is now known as the Scott Aid society, of which Joshua A. Crawford of 95 Camden street, Boston is president. In order that Rev. Mr. Scott might have the best of treatment and care the society secured a private cottage at Rutland, Mass., for him, where he is now being attended by Dr. Bayard Crane of the state sanitarium. Nothing in the way of mutual aid and cooperation for one of our own men has equated the unanimity and hearty response which have been manifested in Mr. Scott's case for many a day. Contributions have come in from many sections of the country and from sources which the society least expected. It all goes to show that our people are waking up to the fact that if they would have a strong, honest and fearless race of men and women in the future they must show their appreciation of those who have already given the best of their lives, money, time and influence in contending for the manhood rights of the race. In the person of the Rev. William H. Scott are to be found the qualities and essential elements of a true and triumphant champion of a race-thrift, integrity, courage and ambition. His work in the councils of the National Independent Political league has been one of self denial, sincerity and devotion to racial interest, for a square deal, an equal chance to earn a respectable living, no color line and no compromise. The recent Lincoln-Douglass celebration in Boston was held under the auspices of the W. H. Scott Aid society at St. Paul's Baptist church and was a splendid success. A patriotic thrill ran through the evening's exercises as Past Commander James H. Wolff of the Massachusetts G. A. H. told of the heroic deeds of the great emancipator and the daring dashes of our own Frederick Douglass at home and abroad for the freedom of the Negro race in America. Commander Wolff declared his belief that Lincoln was very much opposed to slavery. He traced the development of the war leading to the emancipation proclamation and said God fortaleed victory to the Union army until colored men were enlisted. Besides showing their appreciation of what had been accomplished for the cause of freedom and human liberty by Lincoln and Douglass, the people did not forget their duty to the Scott Aid society and when opportunity was given came forward and contributed $45 more toward the fund, thus enabling the society to continue its good work in behalf of a worthy sire. As a Baptist preacher the Rev. Mr. Scott has had a long and successful career and is much thought of and highly respected by the denomination. Like Bishop Walters, Mr. Scott is looked upon by younger men as a father. The writer remembers with feelings of gratitude how, at the meeting of the executive committee of the National Independent Political league held at the residence of Bishop Alexander Walters in New York in the fall of 1909, earnestly Mr. Scott prayed at the close of the session for the success of the cause and how he would plead with the younger men to be calm, patient and persevering; that, as in the case of Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison and their colleagues, in due time God would bring success to the cause for which they are laboring. She Married the Man of Her Choice. The Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age says editorially: "The mingling of the dark and light skinned races goes merrily on. Recently two Los Angeles girls have married Japanese. One of the brides is a son of a wealthy family in the east and is highly educated. "Her husband is the minister of a Japanese Presbyterian church. The bride comes out with a strong communication in defense of her action and takes high grounds to justify her marriage to the man of her choice. We have always held that true Christianity would wipe out all social racial lines." Eastern District Good Samaritans. The Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaritah, eastern district grand lodge No. 1, were out in large numbers at the thirty-third anniversary celebration of the order, which occurred recently. The exercises were held in the Bridge Street A. M. E. church, Brooklyn. Addresses were made by Grand Chief Henry Armstead. C. L. Thomas, Dr. A. R. Cooper. B. G. Johnson and other grand officers.

For five weary years an army of toilers had swarmed over the yards of the contractors. "And now," said the elated Secretary of the Navy, "we must consider getting it into the water." For two years the mechanical intellects of the country wrestled with the problem. At the end of the second year the gigantic craft remained unlaunched. Then up spoke the youngest engineer of them all. "If we cannot get the ship to the ocean," he said, "we must bring the ocean to the ship." So for five years more mighty dredges scoopel and huge clamshells burrowed, and the ocean was brought to the ship. And then one day the Secretary of the Navy sent for the contractors, "It's no use, gentlemen." he said, "the ship is now entirely out of style. Break her up."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, the body no stronger than its weakest organ. If there is weakness of stomach, liver or lungs, there is a weak link in the chain of life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called "weakness" is caused by lack of nutrition, the result of weakness or disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When the weak or diseased stomach is cared, diseases of other organs which seem remote from the stomach but which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, are cureu also. The strong man has a strong stomach. Take the above recommendel "Discovery" and you may have a strong stomach and a strong body.

Just what kind of a managerie will be on exhibition can not be at present stated, owing to the fact that the ladies are keeping everything mum and are not inclined to boast until everyone has had a chance to come and form their own opinions.

Public Waiters Banquetted At Moses Hall. Forgetting their many services at the banquets of the rich, over 100 members of the Public Waiters' Association banquetted at Moses Hall Tuesday night. Like the feasts they had many times served, this one was one calculated to tickle the palates of the gods for everything that man could wish to eat, drink and smoke was served in up-to-date style, such as only a professional caterer to the epicurean tastes of the rich knows how to do. The utmost good spirit prevailed as was indicated by the diners lustily singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," "There Will Be a Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" and other songs that rekindle the spirit of comradeship. Though no ladies were present many of the diners kept time with the catchy and stirring music played by Henry J. Anderson's orchestra. A CARD OF THANKS To all whom this concerns come greetings.
