Admiral Fournier has expressed the opinion that the sub- marine.attempted to pass beneath the steamer, while other naval officials Delieve ‘that the Pluviose; after a long dive, came up by chance direct- ly under the paddle wheels. _ The shock of the contact brought the passengers to the steamer’s rails, and they saw almost instantly the hull of the submarine, rolling about as though trying to right herself. A boat was’ hastily launched, but the foundering craft, which seemed to have been hard’ bit, turned partly over and disappeared. Signals of distress from the Pes de Calais, which was making water rapilly, brought two tugs to the seene, ‘and later a torpedo-boat de- stroyer put out and anchored near where the Pluviose-had gone down. Within an hour or two a wrecking vessel was lying near the: destroyer and her divers were sent down to locate the ill-fated submarine, en- tombed in which are 3 officers and 24 men. : The chances of rescue are very slim, because, in the opinions of ex- ‘perts, either the naphtha reservoirs of the Pluviose burst or the craft was so badly damaged that she filled. ‘A powerful undercurrent balked the divers in their attempt to reach the Pluviose, and if the imprisoned men are not already dead {t is al- ‘most certain that the delay will prove fatal. The submarine lies in many fathoms of water and the divers were only able to cescend a-short distance. Finds Him Not Guilty of: the Murder of Jane Adams.

C., In the Business Life of New York—Partner of the Late Charles H. Graves Now Controls Several Establishments. Business enterprises among Afro-Americans in New York have greatly increased within the past few years. The spirit of self help sees to have become more largely diffused among our young men from the south than ever before. At one time the prevailing opinion among most persons was that the majority of our young men from the south only go into the large cities of the north for a good time. But the multiplexity of business establishments in New York owned and controlled by southern men is an evidence that this opinion is not entirely true. There is room for improvement, however, but we must give credit to those who are making good. With the large number of our people coming up from the south year after year there is no reason why business concerns operated by our thrifty and enterprising men should not succeed. In the ranks of those who are bringing things to pass along this line is ```markdown ``` NORMAN B. STERNETT. Norman B. Sterrett, who is a native of Charleston, S. C. He is a graduate of Avery Normal institute at Charleston and also a former student of Howard university, Washington. Having completed his course as an embalmer, Mr. Sterrett took the examination of the state board of New York for undertakers and embalmers, which he passed with a high average. The first opportunity which presented itself to him by which he might engage in his chosen profession was with the late Charles H. Graves, at 304 West Forty-first street, with whom he was associated as business partner. Upon the death of Mr. Graves, Mr. Sterrett, by purchase, became the sole proprietor of the business and has since been very successful. He has recently enlarged the business to the extent of two branch offices, one at 222 West Sixty-first street and another at 56 West One Hundred and Thirty-third street. Being of an affable and genteel disposition, with a natural adaptation for business, he has won a host of friends. Mr. Sterrett is a member of a large number of secret, benevolent and social organizations. As an Old Fellow he has risen to the position of past noble father and in the Improved Benefulent and Protective Order of Elks and the Order of St. Luke's his influence is of the most helpful kind. Few men in New York have made such wonderful progress in business within such a short time as Mr. Sterrett has. He represents the aggressive side of business life. Competent, obliqing, and efficient as he is, his future is indeed bright and promising. Commencement at Downingtown. At the commencement exercises of the Downingtown Industrial school at Downingtown, Pa., which occurred on Tuesday, May 24, the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell of New York delivered the address to the graduating class. Much favorable comment was heard concerning the fine record which the class made and also from the fact that the male members of the class outnumbered the females more than three to one. South Carolina Baptists Prosperous. At the recent annual Baptist state convention of South Carolina, which met in Spartanburg, the financial report showed receipts from all sources to the amount of $12,000). The convention covers a large territory, and the fiscal year, which closed with the Spartanburg session, was one of the most prosperous in the history of the Baptist work in the state. GARNETT FRESH AIR HOME Special Vacation Resort For Women Beautified by Improvement Club. The H. H. Garnett Fresh Air home, located at Westbury, N. Y., which was formed about twelve years ago by the Afro-American union, will be formally opened for the season on or about June 15. The home has been established for the purpose of accommodating self supporting women and girls in search of rest from their labors, all of whom must be recommended before they are admitted. Recently an improvement club has been organized for the purpose of beautifying the grounds of the institution. Through generous donations on Arbor day the ground was turned into a valuable fairyland. The home contains fourteen light, large, alty rooms and is beautifully appointed. The aim of the management is to make the home self-sustaining, and to this end many entertainments have been planned for the summer season. Conspicuous among those interested in the home was the late Mrs. E. E. Williams of Westbury, with whom the idea of establishing such an institution originated. She not only worked unceasingly for its accomplishment, but its interest was kept alive by her. The Afro-American union feels that there is no better way to perpetuate her memory than by keeping up the home which she fostered. The officers of the union are Mrs. Annie Henry, president; Mrs. J. Smith, recording secretary; Mrs. S. E. Hill, correspondding secretary, and Mrs. Nannie Jarrot, president of the board of managers. NEW BUSINESS VENTURE. Colored Realty Company Buys Large Acreage In Mississippi. The Colored Realty company has recently been organized and incorporated at New Orleans with T. P. Patterson as president and J. J. Jefferson as secretary. The company has a membership of 300 and will be operated upon the co-operative plan. The movement grew out of the desire of its members to get away from crowded city life. The company has already purchased 1,200 acres of rich yellow pine timberland in Pearl Rlyer county. Miss. The headquarters of the company will be at Purvis, Miss., where the first buildings will be erected. Brick manufacturing will be one of the first industries to be started. The land is rich in timber and splendid for farming purposes. We wish the new enterprise abundant success. It is a move in the right direction, as co-operation is much needed among us. CHEERING REPORTS MADE AT ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Brooklyn Meeting of A. M. E. Conference Was Largely Attended—Bishop W. H. Heard Speaks For Africa—Appointments. The nineteenth annual conference of the A. M. E. church for the state of New York, recently held in Union Bethel church, Brooklyn, was an interesting event. Bishop W. J. Galnes presided. The sessions were largely attended, and a great deal of substantial work was accomplished. Much interest was centered in the report of the finance committee, which was read by the Rev. Charles E. Wilson of Albany. The report showed receipts to that committee of $1,249.50, which was divided between the ministers on mission charges, the superannuated preachers, the widows and orphans of deceased ministers. Bishop W. H. Heard of Monrovia, Liberla, a special speaker, told of the work being done by the women and the church in West Africa, especially in Sierra Leone and in Liberia. In Liberia, Bishop Heard said, the African M. E. church has twenty-one charges and two presiding elders, and he stated that he is here on a furlough trying to raise a special fund for greater work there. Bishop Heard thanked the waven for having raised $5,000 for foreign work last year. The Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, who heads the missionary department of the African M. E. church, spoke on "Gospel Mendicants." The work was commended by Bishop Gaines, Miss Marie Carter, who is representing the Quarterly Review, and Dr. J. C. Caldwell of the Allen C. E. League. Bishop Galnes announced the following appointments for the Long Island district: Presiding elder, the Rev. Joseph Stiles; Amityville, the Rev. T. H. Lawrence; Bridge street, Brooklyn, the Rev. A. R. Cooper; Jamaica, the Rev. A. B. Morton; Little Neck, the Rev. Thomas Chase; Roslyn, the Rev. J. E. Peterson; St. James', Brooklyn, the Rev. S. H. Hale; Metropolitan, Manhattan, the Rev. F. F.

The gentlemen who stay out late at nights looking for the comet through the bottom of a glass, will have to find some other excuse. Overcoats and straw hats on the first day of June. Well it might have been worse. We might have had snow, or the comet might have come this way again. We yellow going up the street holding on to his best girl's hand may look a little countryfied, but it is evident that he is enjoying it. It will be well for the weather man to keep out of the way of the excursion prompters and summer resort proprietors. If not the coroner might have a job setting on him. If you are born to be drowned you as well be drowned off a boat owned by Afro-Americans as on a boat owned by white folks. And if you are born to be hanged you will not be drowned. So take the chances, as you do not know which fate is in store for you. The "Black Mammy" monument is now to be followed by a monument to "Uncle Remus." There are a number of Black Mammys" and "Uncle Remuses" still in existence, but unless they are accompanied by a white child, they are relegated to the "Jim Crow" street and railway cars in the South. Quite a waste of sympathy to raise monuments to the dead while so much could be done to make life pleasant for the living. Especially in cases of this kind. The Southern white man's love for his "Black Mammy" and for his good, old "Uncle Remus," who made it pleasant for him in his younger days does not extend to the sons and daughters of either. There is a screw loose somewhere. White folks get much mussed up when colored folks move out of the alleys and slums on decent streets and try as best they can to make clean, respectable citizens of themselves. Out in Kansas City, Mo., last week, the news comes to us, white folks not liking colored folks too near them as neighbors, attempted a sudden removal by the dynamite route. The house was dawn up and one of the inmates, a woman, severely injured. This is surely a case where the authorities should take a hand and see that Dilex is meted out to the guilty parties. which the comet comes into our solar system or system of our sun, are so unthinkably great, that only conjecture goes out to tell of the origin of comets. Some have claimed that they originated beyond, and have wandered into our system, but the orbit does not indicate that. Dr. Crommelin of the Royal Observatory points out three modes of origin of comets within our own system. First: That they are the products of eruptions on the sun. Second: That they are products of eruptions on the larger planets in a sun like state. Third: That they are stray fragments of the nebula, which is supposed to be the parent of our solar system, and by exclusion this appears to be the most feasible theory. As to the comet's tail, it may be that the action of the comet upon matter already existing in the interstella spaces, much as a passing street car raises a cloud of dust, and then the sun shining through or upon these moving particles of matter produces this tail like appearance in the sky. Or the tail may be the result of gases generated from the head of the comet. As to the presence of Cyanogen gas in the comet's tail, it may or may not be a constituent element of the tail for Cyanogen gas has been discovered in the interstella spaces when no comet was know to be present The rate at which the comet travels varies as it approaches or leaves the sun. The comet is now running through our system at the rate of 150.000 miles per hour. The earth in its revolution on its axis is revolving at the rate of more than a thousand miles an hour and in its orbit around the sun, it is running at the rate of more than one million and a quarter miles a day. The comet is therefore leaving our system at the rate of more than 3,000,000 a day, a rate of travel simply unthinkable. The very material dimunition both in the coma and tail of the comet leads some scientist to believe that this is i.s. last visible visit. That while the comet may continue to exist like an asteroid or meteor it will not be seen because of the consumption of the gases, the generation of which under the heat of our sun, makes the comet visible. This therefore may be the last generation to get a view of Halley's famous comet. It is now barely visible in the Western sky after sunset at about thirty-five to forty degrees just after sunset. If you have not seen it try to see it for the sake of the history of it. A PROMINENT MINISTER Rev. Anderson New Pastor of A.M.E. Zion Church Has Been in ministry For Over Thirty Years. Rev. Dr. J. Harvey Anderson, who has just assumed the pastorate of the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M.E. Zion church, is one of the most prominent ministers in his connection. He has been in the itinerant ministry for thirty-five years and has pastored charges in New England, New York, Virginia and North Carolina. He is statistician of his denomination and for the past twenty-four years has been the compiler of the A. M.E. Zion church. He has twice been a candidate for the editorship of the Star of Zion, the denominational organ. Dr. Anderson was born in Frederick, Md., 62 years ago. As a boy he saw service in the Civil War. He has never attended school, but enjoys the distinction of being a widely read man. He has just planned a $1500 rally for the Pennsylvania Avenue church, and is preparing otherwise to infuse new life in the work there. BISHOP HEARD ON AFRICA Thinks Liberia Will Eventually Be Under British Protectorate Bishop W. H. Heard, of South Africa, in an address before the A. M. E. Ministerial Meeting on last Monday, declared that in his opinion, Liberia would eventually be under a British protectorate, and that America would only lend its moral support. In his address he reviewed the political and economic conditions in Liberia. Bishop Coppin spoke of conditions as he found them in South Africa. Bishop Heard is in this country raising funds for mission work in West Africa. He lectured on Monday night at Ebentzer A. M. E. church. VIOLINIST HONORED The Epworth League Chapter of Whatcoat M. E. Church, presented Miss Marie Young their violinist, with a purse containing a neat snuff in honor of her graduation, and to show their appreciation of her service. TO THE EDITOR-OF THE AFRO-AMER ICAN: As a public question of interest a few words with respect to the matter of Negro Bishops in the Episcopal Church may not be without interest to your many readers. In the first place, it would be well to bear in mind that one of the fundamental principles, in connection with Church government in the Episcopal Church, is, that a Bishop within a given territory is the Episcopal head of all souls within that sphere regardless of color or condition. Thus, there is no part of the United States which is not under the jurisdiction and authority of some Episcopal Bishop. That being the case, it is not at all consistent with Episcopal usage to intrude another Bishop into territory already occupied by a Bishop. And yet, it is a fact that there are certain stubborn conditions which render it impossible, in certain sections of the country, for the one Bishop to bring together in the one Convention representatives of the various races belonging to his Church. The real situation is something like this. In a number of dioceses, colored priests and colored laity are excluded from membership in the Convention of the respective dioceses, because of their color. Such have no direct and organic touch with the Episcopal Church. Accepting the situation as it is, we ask that the National Church provide an alternative plan of Episcopal operation, not mandatory, but permissive, which will allow the organization of such excluded Negro priests and laity into a Missionary District with a Bishop of their own, having local autonomy and representation in the General Convention. This is all that we are asking. We are not asking for a separate Church, or that colored Bishops be given the colored people everywhere. On the contrary, we want the race to remain in direct communication with the diocesan Church in every diocese where they enjoy equal rights, irrespective of color. In those dioceses where the whites are unwilling to receive colored delegates on an equal footing with themselves, instead of forcing an issue, we desire the General Convention to make it legally possible for Missionary Districts to serve the interests of our people. While that would remove them from racial irritation, it would also constitute them a legalized body, with representation in both houses of our National Legislature. Now, there are some Southern white people, who, while unwilling to receive the Negro into their Conventions, do not favor allowing him a Missionary District, with a Negro Bishop of his own race. They propose having the General Convention, indirectly, indorse the exclusion of Negroes from certain diocesan conventions, by making it possible to have "Suffragan Bishops" to head the Negro Convocations which they have organized in such excluded territory, so that said "Suffragan Bishop," will be the representatives of the Bishops and Diocesan Conventions which have ecclesiastically "disfranchised" the Negro, and promulgate and carry out their policies among the Negroes. We do not believe that such an arrangement will commend itself to the colored people, and, hence, it will prevent the growth of the Church among them. Thus, we favor Missionary Districts and Negro Bishops, because with them we gain a status and have representation in the National Church. We oppose "Suffragan Bishops," because it is a practical indorsement of "disfranchisement," without any legalized standing and without representation in the General Convention. GEORGE F. BRAGG, JR. WOULD ORGANIZE SONS OF G.A.R. Thinking seriously of the fact that there are not many members, left of the noble, brave and gallant army of the Republic and that their ranks are being thinned every year, thereby suggest that you take the leader ship in organizing and incorporating their sons into a military and patriotic society that will include the whole country. Let us get together and accomplish this thing upon a lasting foundation. President Roussevelt said, "Protect your fighting men." Let us at least organize our sons of fighting men. Yours respectfully Garfield J. Jones 1120 Woodside Street, City President Johnson Stirs Ministers At B. Y. P. U. Meeting By Declaring For Better Trained Ministers - Stale Spiritual Food Not Needed Now Other Doings Of Convention. The suggestion of Mr. C. M. H. Johnson, president of the Co-Operative Baptist Young People's Convention at their annual session at Shiloh Baptist Church, Wednesday, that ministers of the future should be better prepared than those of the past caused a storm of protest from a number of ministers. The suggestion was mentioned in Mr. Johnson's annual address as president, and was finally expunged therefrom. The objectors claimed that it was a reflection on the ministers, and Rev. Samuel Ward, of Fulton Church, declared that he would withdraw his league and he called out to delegates from his church not to pay their annual fee. President Johnson, in a spirited reply said: "I want fresh food every Sunday from my pastor. The minister that furnishes me state spiritual food is of no service, to me and I go from his church spiritually hungry." Rev. Dr. G. R. Waller declared that the minister should be ahead of the laity in knowledge, and that "they may as well as try to stop the flood tide of the Atlantic Ocean with a broom as to stop, the onward march of progress." A number of addresses were delivered at the evening session, after which a spirited election of officers was held. Mr. Johnson refused to stand for re-election. The officers elected were C. B. Cook, president; W. W. Jones, Sparrows Point, first vice president; Miss Ada Lee, second vice president; L. A. Jackson, third vice president; Miss M. E. Porter, financial secretary; Philip Brown, recording secretary; Mrs. Samuel Ward, corresponding secretary, and Rev. R. T. Reid, treasurer. The Sunday School Convention was held Thursday, and reports on the work presented. The Women's Auxiliary met Friday, Mrs. Mrs. T. McGuinn, presiding. Addresses were delivered by a number of ladies, and Rev. Dr. P. C. Neal preached at night. The three auxiliaries will report to the Co-operative Baptist Convention, which will hold its annual session in Annapolis week after next. MINISTER SUED Rev. John Porter Sued' for $4,000 Damages For Alleged Slander Suit has been docketed in the Circuit Court at Towson by four of the former trustees of Grace A. M. E. Church, Catonsville, Md., claming $1,000 damages each, from the pass of the church, Rev. John Porter, for alleged sladder. The trustees are Thomas H. Boston, James Williams David Turner and Amos Wilson, and they allege that Rev. Porter claimed they had squandered about $60 of the church. SURPRISE FRIENDS After having been man and wife for nearly two years, Miss Florence McDowell and Mr. Anthony Clash have just let their friends learn the glad news. While two or three persons knew of the marriage, Mr. Clash last week informed his relatives for the first time and the news has spread rapidly since. CARDINAL CONFIRMS CLASS.

Successful Enterprise The Home Beneficial and Fraternal Society is now occupying its new offices at 414 W. Hoffman St., where excellent facilities are afforded for the transaction of business with its solicitors and members. The Society was organized one year ago and for the past year has been conducting its business with marked success at 1403 Jefferson street. The society extends its hearty thanks to its many members and friends for the loyal support given it during the past year. The society is gratified with the satisfaction which its members manifest. At no time during the long winter with its unprecedented amount of sickness, has the Society failed to meet its legitimate claims promptly to the great relief of its members and those dependent upon them. The Society solicits for the future the same consideration which it has received from the general public in the past and begs to assure all that by so doing, opportunities for employment are offered our young men and women of a lucrative nature and to Baltimore a business enterprise that will be a credit to the race. Prompt and polite service and attention will be given to anyone desiring information concerning the society.

GEon Al Watty, GCs A Tame den. Legier, the baker, bent over his counter, working away, with a pen-cill and a piece of wrapping paper, when Mrs. Liscum entered for a loaf of bread. Noticing on the paper a lot of familiar names, Mrs. Liscum asked: "What are you figuring there, Mr. Legler?" "Well, ma'am," says Legler, "I'm just putting down the names of all my friends that I can lick." "Is Harvey Liscum's name there?" asked Mrs. Liscum. "Yes," said the baker. "Yes, I got it down." Mrs. Liscum went home and told Harvey. He hastened to the bakery. "Legler," he said, "is it true I'm on the list of men you can lick?" "Yes," said Legler calmly, "I've got you down, Mr. Liscum." "Why, you little shrimp," roared Liscum, "I could eat you alive!" "Are you sure you could?" asked the baker. "You bet I'm sure!" said Liscum, shaking his fist in Legler's face. "Well, then," said the baker sadly, "I guess I'll cross you off the list."—Chicago Evening Post. Children And The Grass. One of the numerous good acts of Mayor Gaynor's rule is that of pulling up the "keep off the grass" signs in 30 New York parks and opening these bits and patches of greenward to walled-in and housed-up children of the great city. The feet of the children will probably do no injury to this New York grass, and if some of the turf is killed it could not die in a better cause. The probability is that the New York grass will be actually gladdened by the pressure of romping feet. It is one of the merits of Washington that it has so many acres and half acres of grass and so many miles of trees. There is greenery for all eyes and turf for the feet of little children. The games that give joy to youth are mostly forbidden on the public lawns, but tots can toddle on the grass and play hide and seek among the shrubbery. Boys cannot play ball, "pliggy-back." duck-on-David, leap-frog, hare and hounds, etc., in the city gardens. Parallel bars, swings, rings, ladders, jumping frames and the like are limited to the playgrounds.—Washington Star. Educating Royalty. Divinity may or may not hedge a king. If we think it does, it does; if we think it doesn't, it doesn't. The German people hold one opinion; Colonel Roosevelt, a strenuous and aggressive minority, holds another. Between these divergent opinions the German Emperor is having the time of his life. Europe lives in a hothouse atmosphere of convention. It is Colonel Roosevelt's office to smash a new panes and let in the fresh air. He has smashed a number at Berlin, as at other places, and the stifing grandees so far from resenting it, rather relish it. To ignore vain ceremonial, to brush aside empty forms, to come down to the bedrock of essential fact and to appraise the value of the reality behind the trappings and the grandeur this is a service that only an American could perform for an old society. The German Emperor is as little likely to suffer from this direct approach and clean-cut method as any other man in Europe—a fact which helps explain the friendship which has been struck up within the past few days.—Chicago Record-Herald. A Country Doctor's Record. Dr. James Morris, who was one of the oldest medical practitioners in Scotland, has just died at Dumferline. When he celebrated his jubilee as a doctor some ten years ago he made this statement: "During my 50 years in practice I have attended 50,000 patients, administered chloroform 10,000 times with absolute immunity from fatal results, had 5,000 births, 1,000 consecutive cases without a death, made about 1,000,000 visits and traveled about 500,000 miles." Not a bad record for a country medical man. — Westminster Gazette. Robbing The Cradle.

D. 29. PLACE.—The Sea of Galilee between Bethsaida and Capernaum. EXPOSITION—I. Jesus Sending His Disciples Into the Storm, 22, 24. The multitude who behold the sign of the multiplied loaves and fishes were so affected by it that they wished to take Jesus at once and make Him king (Jno. 6:14, 15). To keep His immature disciples out of this political excitement Jesus immediately forced them to get into the boat and pull for the other side. They wanted to stay. In sending them away He was sending them into a terrific storm. How often to-day He sends us away from the place of quiet and refreshment to meet the midnight storm. They were safe there. When both disciples and multitude had gone Jesus went further into the mountain to pray. Son of God though He was, He needed prayer. There then expect to get beyond the place where we need prayer? There were things that He must pour into no ears but God's Solitude is needful for the best prayer. "He was there alone." He prayed long, way on till near dawn. He seemed to greatly need rest, He had apart to get it, and then had a day of excessive toil, but He needed prayer more than rest. There is often greater refreshment in prayer than sleep (Is. 40:31). There had just been a great crisis in His history, and so He must talk it all over with the Father. While He prayed, through the flashes of lightning He saw His disciples out on the sea distressed with rowing against the storm (Mark 6:48). They had been in the storm before, but then Jesus was with them, now they were alone (Jno. 6:17). Jesus did not go to them at once. He left them to battle with the waves while He continued in prayer. But He was helping them by His prayers and He helps us to-day by His intercession (Heb. 7:25). II. Jesus Coming to His Disciples in the Storm, 25-27. In the darkest hour, just before dawn, as their boat was helplessly tossed about, Jesus Himself came to the despairing disciples. He came, "walking upon the sea" (cf. Job 9:8). The disciples were not relieved, but troubled at the sight of Him. They did not recognize Him, but fancied that He was an apparition, and that their time had come. They cried out for fear. Jesus often approaches us in a way that we do not at first recognize Him, and we are terrified instead of comforted. But Jesus did not leave them long in suspense and fear. He uttered the most comforting words He can ever say, "It is I." The "be of good cheer" and "be not afraid" would not have helped without the "It is I." III. A Disciple's Approach to Jesus in the Storm, 28-31. Peter, true to his character, comes forward with a proposition. Good and bad are strangely mixed in the request. There was the good desire to get to Jesus at once, there is the bad desire to display himself. There is faith and there is unbelief. Jesus says but one word, "Come." Peter climbed over the side of the boat and began walking on the waters. He trusted Christ and the power of God sustained him (1 Pet. 1:5). He was quite proud of his achievement and began to look around instead of looking at Jesus. Then he saw the wind and down he began to sink. Alas, for the man who takes his eyes off from Jesus and looks at his environment. But Peter was wise in his peril, he did the best thing any one can do when sinking. His prayer was short, explicit, personal, right to the point, intensely earnest, and it was answered immediately, though its faith was by no means perfect. If any sinking soul honestly cries to Jesus, "Lord, save me," He will do it (Ro. 10:13). Jesus helped immediately (cf. Is. 65:24). It was with His out-stretched hand that He "took of him" and saved (cf. Ps. 138:7; Mark 1:31; 41:5-41; Acts 4:30; Is. 59:1). Peter's failure was through his "doubt." IV. Jesus on Board, the Storm Over and the Desired Haven Reached, 32-33. As soon as Jesus was in the boat the wind ceased. All that many a tempest-tossed soul needs is to take Jesus on board and it will find calm and safety at once. The disciples were greatly amazed at what had happened (Mark 6:51). The demonstrations that they had already seen of Jesus' divine power should have prepared them for this further one (Mark 6:52). They immediately "worshipped" Jesus. They were right in so doing (Heb. 1:6; Jno. 5:23). Jesus' acceptance without protest of the worship thus offered clearly proves His recognition of His own deity (cf. Matt. 4:9; 10; Acts 10:25; 26; Rev. 19:10). The disciples exclaimed, "Of a truth, Thou art the Son of God." This, too, was true (cf. ch. 16:16-18). Immediately upon receiving Jesus into the boat they reached the shore. If any one is "at sea" and storm-driven, toiling fruitlessly against wind and wave, let him take Jesus on board and he will come speedily and safely to land. V. Jesus Healing the Sick, 34-20. The disciples are to have still further proof that Jesus is truly the Son of God. As soon as the men of Gennesaret recognize Jesus they scour the country around about for any that are sick and bring them to Him. Would that, we had an equal appreciation of Jesus to-day and would scour the country for all that are sick, not only in body, but in soul. They were very humble in their demand, they only asked that they might touch the border of His garment. They got what they asked, and "as many as touched were made whole." All that one needs to receive help from Jesus is just to touch Him. MU-SO-LIT CLUB DINES NOTED MEN Red Leiter Night For Popular Social Organization. MUSIC AND ORATORY GALORE Clarence Cameron White Charms Brilliant Audience With the Violin, While Cole and Johnson Expatiate on the Future of the Negro on the Stage and In the World of Music. The May meeting of the Mu-So-Lit club, the most representative club in Washington, was one of the liveliest and most interesting meetings in the history of the club. The guests of honor were Clarence Cameron White, the noted violinist, who recently returned from a two years' course of study abroad, and Messrs. Cole and Johnson, leading men in the "Red Moon" company. Other guests from the "Red Moon" company were Professor H. Lawrence Freeman, the musical director; H. Arthur Talbot, elocutionist, and Messrs. Frank Fowler Brown and S. Lucas, vocal soloists. Sam Crocker, manager of the company, gave a brief address. Mr. White rendered two selections on the violin, which charmed his audience beyond expression. A musical critic of much ability has described Mr. White's playing as follows: "Clarence White's playing * * * gave very clear evidence of serious and faithful study during his two seasons abroad. "His tone is much clearer and more beautiful, and his technique is broader and more sufficient." Mr. White has a delightful presence, and his playing is no less charming. Robert Cole, known throughout theatrical circles as Bob Cole, gave an interesting and instructive talk on "The Future of the Negro on the Stage." Mr. Cole went into the philosophy of the play and the history of the stage and showed clearly that he is a master of the drama in all of its varied sides. His reminiscences were full of interest, and the personal contact that he has had with leading dramatists and dramatic critics shows that he is a factor in the theatrical world. J. Rosamond Johnson gave a talk of rare merit on "The Negro In the World of Music." His talk showed that he is also a man who has given deep thought and hard study to music. His talk on what is commonly known as "Negro music" was one of the most interesting ever listened to by the club. He rendered two of his own compositions—a vocal solo, "LiT Gal," and an instrumental solo, an Indian dance. Frank Fowler Brown rendered a vocal solo, and Professor Frieman gave one of his own compositions. After the musical and literary part of the evening the guests and members of the club repaired to the spacious dining room of Martin's cafe, where a midnight luncheon was served. The president of the club, Dr. A. M. Curtis, and the chairman of the executive committee, Judge R. H. Terrell, were congratulated for arranging for such an interesting and enjoyable evening. BIG CELEBRATION TO BE GIVEN AT HOUSTON, TEX. Plans Are Completed For Emancipation Day Exercises June 20 E. J. Scott Grand Orator. The citizens of Houston, Tex., are looking forward to the forthcoming emancipation celebration with great anticipation. The committee of arrangements has completed its program of seven different departments of entertainment. L. W. Wood is chairman of the general committee. The exercises will be held in Emancipation park. The industrial parade and the ovation of the Hon. Emmett J. Scott will be the features of the day on Monday, June 20. It will be an interesting week for Houstonians, as many of the visitors and the special guest from a distance will remain for several days. The grand, officers are; Professor J. M. Frilerson, grand president; C. N. Love, grand vice president; Professor E. D. Plerson, grand secretary; Emmett J. Scott, grand orator; Rev. R. H. King, D. D., grand chaplai; Edgar E.

Lawyer R. Steward and George A. Neale of Pittsburgh are among the eight Republican candidates for the state legislature. Friends of Attorney Steward will make a determined fight to get out the full Afro-American vote. The campaign promises to be one of the most interesting and hotly contested for many years. There is no reason why Mr. Steward should not win easily at the coming primary election in June, as the Afro-American vote in his district is quite large. I once met a young man who told me that he was studying music. He said that his teacher had trained him to hear defects in the voices of singers. And he added, "Now I am able to detect defects in the finest singers." Of this he was very proud! This. I believe, is the primary point, with reference to the whole subject of the sanity and clearness of one's mental operations; we can have the fine things if life, or we can have the opposite—just as we choose. The type of person who is habitually seeing faults in others, who is constantly feeling pain, who is always imagining slights, loses the sense of balance and proportion. Our friends are people who see the good in us and who believe in that good. That is not to say that they do not see the other side. They probably see it, and they ought to; but, by holding to mind the good in us, they help us to realize it more fully in ourselves and to hold ourselves to this vision of the ideal. I know of invalids who in spite of nain determine to see the beauty of life. I know men and women who have been tremendously wronged, but who have deliberately forgotten themselves, and just gone straight on, seeking the beauty and the truth in life. The first point, then, is this—the atmosphere which makes for sane, simple, straightforward thinking is predominantly one that can be chosen by each individual for himself. It is not playing a false part deliberately to choose for one's self the truest thing and to hold to it constantly even when the thing that is less true presses at the moment and seems to dominate. That is, the attitude of health in mind and body is not a false thing. It is the essentially true thing, because, unless we were predominantly healthy both in mind and in body, we could not live: if the sum total of our lives were mainly defective, we would be dead or inane. So it is absolutely fair, during the up-stroke of life, to formulate that attitude and carriage of the body which ones will use when the down-stroke comes. And every person, crippled or not crippled, who has an up-stroke in life has a down-stroke.—World's Work. BACHELORS. TAKE WARNING.

"Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head, and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatments after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky., Oct. 12, 1909." This Has Reached London. While spending the winter in Georgia, before his inauguration as President, Mr. Taft went to the city of Athens to deliver an address to the students of the University, of Georgia. He met a member of the faculty—a staunch Democrat—who said, "Judge, I voted the Democratic ticket, but wanted to see you win." "Judge Taft replied, "You remind me of the story of Brer Jasper and Brer Johnson, who were both deacons in the Shilo Baptist Church, although avowed enemies. Brer Jasper died, and the other deacons told Brer Johnson that he must say something good about the deceased on Sunday night. At first he declined, but finally consented. Sunday night, when the time for the eulogy arrived, he arose slowly and said: 'Brederen and Sisteren, I promised ter say sump'n good 'bout Deacon Jasper tonight, an' I will say we all hopes he's gone what we knows, he ain't." —London Tit-Bits.

WEALTH NOT THE ONLY LEVER Business Concern of Extensive Operations In Panama City In Circular Letter to the Race on Three Continents and the West Indies Says Unite For Common Cause. The International Trading and Investment company of the republic of Panama was started in the city of Panama in 1807. The company organized with a capital of $25,000. It has met with gratifying success, which is shown by the fact that in less than two years it has paid a dividend of 8 per cent to its stockholders. The company does a general mercantile business. It has an office and a savings bank and a plantation in Bocas del Toro and agencies in Colon, Jamaica, British West Indies, and Port Limon, Costa Rica. In a circular letter recently sent out the company says: "Thus far advanced we now see and recognize that the time has verily come for the Negro of North, South and Central America and the West Indies down to Africa to unite for a common cause. We must command our own ships, making it thereby possible to take our people to and fro to centers of business, health and pleasure. Start industries in all their branches in a large way—mining, dairying, farming and agriculture in its every sense, florenture and aberculture and a general exchange. These, with the scholastic advantages derived from the elementary and normal schools, colleges and universities of our race in your homes in the America of the north, are the avenues that will usher us as a race and people into the great halls of the mansion of respect. "It is right that you should know that the company is in possession of 120,000 hectares of rich lands, and more can be laid if the company so desire. The soil is very, very fertile, the climate is not enervating; neither is there any impenetrable bush, and the place is rich in minerals. "We sincerely desire to co-operate with you in such an amalgamative manner as to be part and parcel of the Afro-American of the United States of America. We wish you to handle our products and we to handle yours. By uniting farmers of the race (on your sides can come this way—they can also instruct our farmers here in certain technicals unknown to them, and ours in turn can impart to yours certain tropical methods to which they are strangers." "We can thus create a Negro market and rule the markets of the Americans and West Indies where our people abound and stretching out to Africa. And why should we not control the markets of the Americans and the West Indies, pray? "While we are seeking for racial unity, our desire is not merely for the acquirement of wealth. No! It is to bring about in the most noble manner the solution of that problem in which another race wishes to envelop us as in a dark, murky cloud." The company is represented in the United States by John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y. The officers of the company are T. A. Brown, president; H. A. Box, vice president; E. W. Nix, secretary; E. A. Smith, treasurer. WHERE THE MONEY GOES. Secret Societies Furnish Working Capital For Business Institutions. Secret organizations of large means should not be satisfied with simply fulfilling their ritualistic obligations. Instead of boarding up money with which to pay sick dues and death claims they should use some of their money for the purpose of making larger revenue. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are paid annually by Negro institutions in rents. Similar amounts are put into banks and trust companies for safe keeping. Only a small per cent is paid by these institutions which use our people's money as a working capital with which to run their business. It is indeed time to call a halt on such a course. We should build halls for ourselves. The right kind of a building would pay for itself in rental within a few years if properly managed. Business Concern Gives Banquet.

A strange commentary on Dr. Johnson's famous dictum that a second marriage is "the triumph of hope over experience" comes from France. Dr. Jacques Bertillon has been collecting statistics to discover what age is most favorable to second ventures in the troubled sea of matrimony. Most amazing is the deduction that women, whether widows or divorces, between—the age of 20 and 30, are less inclined to a repetition of the great experiment that those under 20, or over 30. The more youthful widow seems to be less hopeful. It may be that sentiment is powerful to keep her in the bereaved state. Possibly a widow between 20 and 20 in so charming and attractive to such a degree that so many men may their court to her as to make it impossible for her to choose between them. But once the widow passes 30 she apparently feels old enough to select a second partner. In the natural course of human life it would seem that the percentage of widows under 20 must be relatively small. Between 20 and 30 the proportion will increase rapidly. Once the boundary line of 20 is past, perhaps he has the widow of France makes again for a home and a protector—Philadelphia Press. Consul-General John E.

HARD ON CHILDREN When Teacher Has Coffee Habit. "Best is best, and best will ever love." When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others. A school teacher down in Miss. Days: "I had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously. "One cup of coffee taken at breakfast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go through with the day's duties, and this nervousness was often accompanied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation. "I am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room. "When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to directions: found it excellent of flavour, and nourishing. "In a short time I noticed very gratifying effects. My nervousness disappeared. I was not irritated by my pupils, life seemed full of sunshine, and my heart troubled me no longer.

We want only those who get their proper rest at night, and who are willing to work six days of seven. It is a great opportunity for our young men and women and should not be lost." CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH EXCURSION TO ST. MICHAELS. Monday morning, according to announcement the rally parties gave an excursion to St. Michaels on the palatial Steamer Starlight. The Steamer was a thing of beauty as she lay on the swelling wave in her dress of white with flags flying from ever mast. The crowd was not large but the quality of it made up for the lack of size. Accompanying many of the best people of the church was the graduating class of Morgan College which President Spencer had sent out as his personal treat to the class. The weather was fine but the water ran into white caps which gave the excursion party a chance to note the steadiness of the Starlight as she cut the water and made the run to St. Michaels in exactly five hours. The wharf was lined with Saint Michael friends who had turned out to greet the excursion party. The excursionists spent one hour and fifty minutes ashore and at half past four we steamed away from Saint Michaels and headed for the Monumental City, where the party arrived at nice-thirty with everybody singing the praises of Brown and Langley and the Steamer Starlight. We regret that the crowd was not larger but that was occasioned as we learned later by some foolish or mean people who tried to make everybody believe that the boat could not stand a trip to St. Michals. We have some knockers and croakers among our people and some of them are in our churches. They are a constant problem and a dead weight on the neck of our churches and business enterprises. We could heartily wish they might go to heaven; or some where. We are glad to report that the Starlight made the trip to St. Michaels without accident or inconvenience to any one on board, and we are glad to record our personal testimony to the pleasure of a trip on the Starlight.
