THE AFFAIR AMERICAN LEDGER. VOL. XVIII. NO. 38. MISSISSIPPIANS ATTRACTED TO MOUND BAYOU LARGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL MEETING IN HISTORY OF THE MISSISSIPPI LEAGUE. Mound Bayou The Centre of Attraction-The Leading Negro City of The South-Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, the Founder, and Charles Banks. The Greatest Negro Business Leader of The South, Make Addresses- Emmett J. Scott Delivers An Address. Mound Bayou, Miss., June 23—A record breaking session of the Mississippi Negro Business League came to a close here today. The session was remarkable from the fact that it showed such a wonderful increase in the total activities of the race in this State, most of which was directly traceable to the influence of the League. It was also remarkable from the fact that fully, as many people as attend the National League were here at Mound Bayou, many of whom came because of the opportunity to see this real, live and hustling Negro city. HON. L. T. MONGOMERY That the efforts of the Negroes of the South must be directed along constructive lines, and that all energies must be bent in the direction of making our lives worth while to the state and nation, furnishing an incentive of like character to the children, was the impression sought by Mr. Charles Banks, president of the League in his opening address, Mr. Banks called attention to the remarkable progress made by the Negroes of the State and with much vigor urged the business league to renewed efforts to the end that Mississippi in business should lead all other states in the Union. Welcome addresses were delivered by Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of the city, and in many reacts one of the most remarkable men of the race; Mayor B. C. Creswell and Rev. A. A. Cosey. Dr. E. P. Jones, of Vicksburg and Dr. J. E. Waller responded to the welcome address. Life Insurance" was discussed by Dr. W. Attaway, from Greenville, who has successfully inaugurated what is perhaps the only straight life insurance organization among Negroes in the United States. "The growth of Tuberculosis among Negroes and how to prevent it" was discussed by Dr. J. A. Mill-r. The part the fraternal organizations have played in the State was thoroughly discuss-d b, Prof. G. S. Goodman, of Holly Springs, while the agricultural life of the people and their remarkable success was represented by B. F. Lacey, of Shiloh, and W. W. Phillids, of Kosciusko.

Hills And Mountains And Beautiful Scenery Attracts His Attention—Tips Are Expected On Every Hand.—Has But Little Trouble In Getting His "Luggage" Passed—Occupies A Fine Room In Hotel And Also Has A Fine Dinner—It Is Served In Courses. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Glasgow, Scotland.—Have you ever been hungry to see a member of your race? Weil I am in this state today. This is Sunday afternoon, June 12th, and I am in Glasgow. I wrote you the other day, and then I was on the steamer Caledonia, headed for this place. I have been hearing about water and sky, for a long time. I have crossed the ocean, and I think when I return to America it will not be large enough to hold me, and I think you will have to get an iron band for my head. I have told you about my ship experience. For a week, only three of us were on that big boat. It was five living because I just thought I would eat myself to death. After eating and eating, and riding and riding, it was 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon when some one said "Land in sight." I wish you could have seen me rush up on the prowmade deck. I walked up and behold I could see something which looked like a cloud, and I just looked at it for an hour until I could really see that it was one of the mountains of Ireland. I could not help but thank God for permitting me to fix my eye—one more on land, although it is a land I had never seen before. I just stood and looked and looked, until my lookers were almost sore. I was so busy looking until I forgot to go to my dinner. The Ireland people got busy getting ready to get off. It was a few minutes past ten o'clock when the ship stopped, and two little boats came up by the side of the big one, and I wish you could have seen the people getting off. It took about one hour and then we were at it again. I got the packing fever, and went into my room after having bathed about 1 o'clock and got busy like other people packing. Now you talk about packing, and you could put all the clothes I have in a little grip and then have some change left, but I packed just the same. I put things in them, took them out and put them in again, until 2:30 o'clock in the morning, and then went to bed. I tell you for an hour or two there was some real good sleeping. I slept until 5 o'clock, then we were all out of bed, looking at land. I have heard that song and heard it, but never realized what was meant by "When the mists have rolled in splendor," I looked at the hills, and the mists rolling in splendor in the beauties of the hill, and I could but thank God for permitting me to view the sights. Hills and mountains, and beautiful scenery attracted my attention for several hours. It would take me a whole year to tell you about these scenes, and then something would be left to be told. I have heard the sories of ocean travel. I have heard about whales and other big things following soils, and then when I was about I was told that there was a thing in the ocean that would call your name and you would have to go. I did not see any of these things, and I am not going to tell you so. If you are expecting that you will have to excuse me this time. Now this is putting you on the look out and you need not be surprised at anything I see, but I am really seeing for the readers this week, and next week. But I must continue to move, and let me reacm you. Rev. J. P. Robinson has forgotten that he intended to be sick all the way across the ocean, and he is up as early as the rest of us Sunday morning. He has (Continued on Page 5) BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1910. Bishop Flipper Throws Bomb Into A.M.E.Bishops' Council DECLARES HIS INDEPENDENCE AND WILL NOT BE BOUND BY CERTAIN DISCIPLINARY REQUIREMENTS. Considers Money Paid Out For Traveling Expenses To Bishops' Council Too Exorbitant For Value Received by the Church WILL EXERCISE HIS AUTHORITY AS BISHOP OR GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT IN ANY PART OF THE CHURCH. Bishops' Council Has No Authority To Settle Differences Between Brethren Of The Church—Cites Conditions In Philadelphia and New York—Council Has No Fixed Order Of Business That Should Characterize Heads Of Such A Body. (Special Correspondence) Wilberforce, Ohio, June 20—When Bishop J. S. Flipper's letter was read in the Bishop's Council here Friday of last week, it was like a bolt of lightning out of a clear blue sky. The bishops were thunder struck, and it was sometime before the true significance of the letter became clear to the assembled dignitaries. Bishop Flipper's declaration of independence took the Council by surprise, and for some time it was a question as to what he had in view. Does Bishop Flipper aspire to be the Robespierre of the A. M. E. Church? or what he is aiming at. His stand has set the Bench of Bishops to doing some tall thinking, more especially when he concludes with a determination to attend no more meetings of the Council. His letter follows. Atlanta, Ga., June 10, 1910. To The Bishops' Council now assembled in Wilberforce, Ohio. Derr Coileagues: "I shall not be present at this session on the Council. I have attended every session since the General Conference at Norfolk, Va., excepting the one at Wilberforce last year, and the present session, and after due consideration I have resolved not to attend another this side of the next General Conference unless a cause arises for a change for the following reasons: "First—In all the sessions I have attended, I have observed no fixed order of business that should characterize a Council, composed of the heads of so great a body as the African Methodist Episcopal Church. "Second—The Council is composed of no legal authority, as claimed, to regulate anything in the bounds of the Church, by reason of the fact that all the Bishops are equals, and not even a majority vote of these equals can have any re-training power upon any bishop, whatever may be his official acts; that is and can only be advisory, and even then, no bishop is bound to submit to said advice only in so far as he chooses. "Third—Because I am not in accord with such views of the power and authority of the Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The Bishops are General Superintendents; and in the light of best authority on definition, a Superintendent is one who has the oversight and charge of something with the power to direct. "Fourth-There is disturbance and dissatisfaction in some portions of the Church, and according to published accounts fifty members have withdrawn from Bethel church in Philadelphia, a church in Brooklyn has withdrawn from the connection, and an elder has been expelled from a conference without a copy of charges and specifications, and a formal trial, and the e-things will engage the attention of the Council, if communications sent out are true; and since you possess no power to act I regard it wrong for the Church to pay my traveling expenses to simply assist in saying that we are all equals and have no authority to act but advise you brethren to get together, and settle your differences. In the light of past sessions I consider the money paid out for traveling expenses too exorbitant for value received by the Church, and shall no longer share in such expense from the Church. "Now in conclusion I desire to put you on notice, that, as a Bishop or General Superintendent of the African Dear Coileagues: Methodist Episcopal Church, I shall hereafter regard Section 13, Discipline, page 208 as unconstitutional; contrary to the fundamental law of African Methodism and subversive of the rights and authority of each and all Bishops or General Superintendents of the African Methodist Episcopal Church when considered in the light of Section 2, Discipline, page 218, under the restrictive rules placed upon the General Conference, also our election, ordination and your own confession that we are all BISHOP J. S. FLIPPER equals, for if we are equal in one thing we are equals in all things. "I know that according to Section 18, Discipline page 298, I am restricted in the exercise of Episcopal authority to what is known as the Ninth Episcopal District, comprising the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma; but I have the right and authority from high Heaven, to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, and accordingly through my ordination papers, so long as my life becometh the gospel, and I wish to advise you that hereafter I shall exercise this authority and whatever Bishop attempts to interfere with me will find me putting this law to its fullest test in the highest tribunal of the Church and the civil courts if necessary. I am faithful to my God and my Church, and am resolved to know what Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church stands for, and to what extent he is a general superintendent. "Praying such blessings upon you as God will be pleased to bestow, "One of the Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church throughout the World." On referring to section 13, page 208, Book of Discipline of the A. M. E. Church, we find the following: "He shall whenever the officers of any church call on him, and necessity requires him, visit any Episcopal district and act alone, in the absence of its Bishop, or conjointly with him, in all cases in which the interests of the connection demands his services." Section 2, page 218, reads thus: "They (the General Conference) shall not alter any rule of government to the effect of doing away with the Episcopacy or General Superintendency." FAVOR RAISING THE STANDARD OF ADMISSION WANT APPLICANTS FOR THE MEDICAL PROFESSION TO HAVE A THOROUGH ACADEMIC TRAINING Annual Session Of The North Carolina Doctors, Pharmacists And Dentists Breaks Record For Attendance—Typhoid Fever Agitates The Association—Its Spread To Be Looked After Mayor Makes Welcome Address—Officers For The Ensuing Year Elected. (Staff Correspondence.) Wilmington, N. C., June 28.—The 21st annual session of the North Carolina, Medical, Pharmaceutical and Denal Association which convened here Tuesday and Wednesday of last week was an all around record breaker. The attendance was unprecedented, medical men from every section of the State being present. Mayor W. G. MacRae, in welcoming the association on behalf of the citizens spoke well of the people of color who had achieved something for themselves and the race. The annual address of Dr. J. W. Walker, president of the Association was an able treatis of scientific facts peculiar to his profession, and his suggestions of cardinal features brought forth high commendation from his hearers, and adopted by them. The welcome address on behalf of the doctors was delivered by Dr. T. R. Mask. Dr. L. B. McBroyer, city physician for Asheville, and member of the State Board of Medical Examiners, in making an address to the organization paid a high tribute to Dr. J. W. Walker as a citizen and professional man. Response to the welcome addresses was delivered by Dr. F. S. Hargrave, of Wilson, N. C. Addresses were delivered by Dr. A. A. Wyche, Charlotte, secretary and treasurer of the Association; Dr. Chas. T. Shepard, Durham; Dr. A. M. Moore Durham; Dr. J. S. Massey, Monroe; Dr. P. H. Williams, Raleigh; Dr. C. H. Bynum, Kingston; Drs. M. D. Bowen, Mask, Arnold and Alston, of Wilmington; Dr. F. L. Daniels, of Salisbury. An ovation was given Dr. J. T. Williams, of Charlotte. The subject of the paper read by Dr. P. W. Burnett, of Rocky Mount, was "Typhoid Fever." This paper created an interesting discussion and by a unanimous vote of the association will be read at the coming meeting of the National Medical Association. Prof. Frazier, of-Shaw University, spoke of the needs of the medical department of Shaw. Every doctor subscribed liberally to the fund for the $30,000 hospital that is to be erected for Shaw University. The doctors placed themselves on record as being in favor of all institutions with medical, pharmaceutical and dental departments raising the standard for the admission of applicants and the concensus of opinion was in favor of applicants have a thorough academic training. The following were elected officers for the ensuing year: F. S Hargrave, president, Wilson; Chas. A. Dunston, vice president, Raleigh; A. A. Wyche, secretary-treasurer, Charlotte; F. L. Daniels, recording secretary, Salisbury. The social event of the session was the annual banquet given the association. The scheme of the decoration in the True Reformers' hall where this banquet was held was very beautiful. The menu would have pleased any epicurean. The ladies were exquisitely gowned for the occasion and the grand march was led by Dr. J. W. Walker and Mrs. I. R. Mesk. Among the many social features given in honor of the doctors was a smoker and a sail down the Cape Fear River. Dr. J. W. Walker will represent the association at the coming meeting of the National Medical Association. WASHINGTON LEADERS A USUAL, FIGHTING OVER THE QUESTION OF WHO WAS TO BLAME President To Make Appointmen Of Colored Men To Offices They Will Be Mostly Southern Men—Rucker To Resign And Give The President A Chance To Appoint A White Man—Attorney Jones Formulates Rule For Police Court—Washington Boy Gets Honors. Washington, June 30-There is well defined rumor going the round that President Taft has about decided to appoint a color-d man Collector of Customs at Georgetown, a wes section of this city, in the place of white man who was recently approved but failed of confirmation by Senate. Among those who are being man are Heury A. Rucker, collector of ternal revusus, at Atlanta. (Ga. w) it is said, has recently resigned H. A. BUCKER position in that city. Albert White a prominent attorney of Louisville and Dr. D E. Underwood, a prominent physician of Frankfort, Ky. are also among the number on whom the President may confer the honor as well as the emoluments of the office. It is believed that if Mr. Rucker does not get that position, something equally good will be handed him for his deference in handing the President his resignation. The failure to land the appropriation for a 1913 semi-centennial celebration of the progress of the Armenian American since, his liberation from slavery is being laid at the doors of the local-contingent. There are criminations and recriminations as to who is to blame and who is not. As in it, the thing for the present at least is considered dead. Another industrial school is being provoked for Maryland, and to be located near Cabin John B.idge. It will be under the direction of the Maryland Industrial Association which James W.

Samuel H. Brear, a Washington boy, has the honor of being the Negro to be elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, a Greek Tetracentric; of Bowdin College, Maine; Drear led his class for the full four years term; and is considered one of the brightest students in that firm hotored institution. Thirty-Three Persons, Mostly Newspaper Men, Who Sailed In Her From Dusseldorf After A Wildly Exciting Experience Escape By Sliding Down Rope Ladder From The Wreck—To Get Out Of A Whirlwind The Pilot Shoots Up The Airship 4,000 Feet. Dusseldorf, Germany (Special).—Count Zeppelin's passenger airship Deutschland, the highest developed of all the famous aeronaut's models, lies on the top of the Teutoburgian forest pierced with pine-tree stems, a mass of deflated silk and twisted aluminum. The 33 persons aboard, after a wild contest with a storm, escaped uninjured, climbing down a rope ladder from the wreck on the pine tops. Herr Colesmann, general manager of the new airship company; Chief Engineer Duerr, of the Zeppelin Company, and Captain Kannenberg, who personally had charge of the crew of 10, and 20 newspaper men sailed from Dusseldorf at 8.30 A.M. for a three-hour excursion. The objective point was Dortmund, about 35 miles from Dusseldorf, but a high head of wind prevailed and an effort was made to reach Munster, a garrison town, so that a landing might be made on the parade ground by the aid of the soldiers, and it was realized that it would require a large number of them to hold the vast contrivance of silk and metal against the wind. A Motor Fails. It was dangerous to attempt a landing in an open field because of the storm, as the metal was likely to pound to pieces. In the high wind one of the motors refused to work and the other two were not powerful enough to make any progress in the gale. The airship drifted, swaying in the violent gusts and sometimes leaning to an angle of 40 degrees, and all the while the engineer were at work repairing the disabled motor. When this was done all four screws were driven at their full power, under which in normal conditions the airship was capable of attaining a speed of 40 miles an hour. But the helmsman was unable to keep his course, and the great craft was swung about at the mercy of the winds. Colesgran did not dare to turn a ship around for fear of overruns, and he decided to drift in the gale, which was blowing at the rate of 50 miles an hour, toward penabruck, which is also a garrison station. If he missed that he would continue on to Senne. Up 4.000 Feet. Suddenly he perceived a whirlwind coming and ascended to a height of nearly 4,000 feet to avoid the worst of it. With the whirlwind came an avalanche of rain. After half an hour the Deutschland came down to permit of observations and it was seen that the Teutoburgian forest lay below. The forward motor again stopped and Colemann sent five of the correspondents to the alt gondola to ballast the vessel. The Deutschland sank rapidly, having lost much gas in the high altitudes, and dragged along the top the dense forest. A heavy branch of a tree broke through the floor of the cabin amidships, throwing two of the guests to the floor. Other branches ripped through the gas compartments and the whole great structure settled down 30 or 40 feet from the ground. "It isn't the fault of the Zeppelin system," exclaimed Herr Colemann: "that is all right. It is our own fault, and our benzine ran out." The airship, for which Herr Colemann's company had just used $137,-500, looked a total wreck. The frames were broken, but the motors were not damaged. The silk was ripped and had fallen in a torn mass on the tops of the trees. Damage By Cloudburst. Huntington, W. Va. (Special).—Great damage has been wrought throughout the Coal River and the Mud. River Valleys by heavy rains, followed by a cloudburst. The rivers are at the highest stages ever known. The damage to crops and property will probably be $300,000. Railroad traffic has been suspended owing to many washes and land-slides. "Killed His Girl." New York (Special). — Because Jennie Minkoff, not quite 18, rejected his attentions, Morris Nathanson, a young grocer's clerk, lay in wait in the hallway of her home and shot her through the heart. She fell dead at his feet. Nathanson then walked to a police station and remarked that he had "killed his girl." He was locked up. $15,000,000 In Fake Cures. Boston (Special). Over $15,000,000 is annually poured into the coffers of those who exploit and advertise "fake" consumption cures, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The report stated that for this vast sum, victims receive nothing in return, but are often permanently injured and in many cases deprived of the chance for a real cure. SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE. Frank Walters Commits Suicide In Horrible Way At Easton, Pa. Easton, Pa. (Special).—Frank Walters, 45 years old, one of the best-known hotel proprietors in this section, ignited his clothing while many persons watched him and walked to the middle of the street enveloped in flames. As the fire reached the top of the man's head he fell, and before anything could be done to help him he was burned so severely that death followed. The fierceness of the flames indicated that before setting fire to his garments he had saturated them with oil. Walters had been showing signs of derangement. POISON IN THE WATER. One Dead And Six Ill In A Newark Faunily. Parkersburg, W. Va. (Special). As a result of drinking water from a poisoned well, the members of the family of William Lee, of Newark, Wirt County, seven in all, became violently ill, and one girl, aged six years, is dead. The authorities are conducting an investigation, and in cleaning out the well found several white particles about the size and shape of a lead pencil, which are believed to be deadly poison. These particles are now being analyzed. Whether there was a plot to murder the whole family or whether the particles came in the well by accident is not known. INTO WHITE-HOT METAL. Body Of Steelworker Consumed Before Jury, O.K. Compensations. Pittsburgh (Special)—John Mitchell, a steel worker at the West Penn steel plant at Brackenridge, was suddenly precipitated into a soaking pit containing a white hot ingot and before his horrified and helpless millates the body was consumed by the metal into which it slowly sunk. Mitchell was at work at the soaking pits where the steel ingots are treated. Standing on the door of one which was covered he gave the signal for the opening of another pit. Through mistake, the wrong lever was pulled and Mitchell fell 18 feet to the bottom of the pit, alighting on the ingot. Droughts Do Not Cause Colds. London (Special).—Dr. Sir Frederick Treves astonished the public this week by declaring that "The idea that colds are caused by draughts is absurd; no cold ever had such an origin. Colds are the result, not of draughts, but of stuffy rooms." Other famous London, physicians back up Sir Frederick in holding that no cold was ever caused by a draught. Fatallr Wounds Himself. Birmingham, Ala. (Special).—Guv R. Johnson, former president of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, shot and fatally injured himself at his home here. The shot was fired with suicidal intent and physicians say it is impossible for him to recover. After having shot himself Mr. Johnson in a statement attributed his act to business reverses. Loaves $50,000 To Employe. Pittsburg (Special)—For faithful services to her employer from the time she began to work in his candy store, when but a young girl, Miss Minnie M. Eicher has been rewarded with a legacy of $50,000, half his estate, left to her by the will of Charles Eissner.

Those affected are baggagemen, stationmen and crossing tenders at all stations and receiving clerks, delivery clerks, checkers and freight handlers at all stations outside of Boston terminal division. $15,000,000 Leather Merger. Montreal, Que. (Special). — Another merger, this time in leather, will be the Canada Leather Company, Limited, with an authorized capital of $15,000,000 of stock and $5,000,000 bonds. Companies probably are to be included in the merger representing 75 per cent. of the total output of leather used in the Canadian boot and shoe, trunk and bag trades. Duel With Knives. Tampa, Fla. (Special). — Armed with knives and keeping their word to meet at sunrise in the woods near Macfarlard Park, in West Tampa, Mario Adalo and another Cuban, whose identity has not yet been established, fought until both fell from loss of blood.

(Special).—Enraged because his wife had determined to leave him on account of his violent temper, David Downes shot and killed her and her mother, Mrs. Ivy Woodard, and then killed himself with the same rifle. The tragedy occurred in a little farming community near the village of Springfield, about 70 miles northeast of Bangor. Downes was 33 years old and his wife 28.

That is my view of it. The college fellow becomes familiar with a great many theories from instructors, who in the main abound in the theories and theories only. You do not know a great many of them who could take charge of a large business or build up one to a grand success. You could not learn to do that in any university or college in the country.

Farm War Economic Adjustment By Sena The common school system—the high school course—gives the average individual at least fair equipment for practical success in business or in the various callings that men follow who live by the sweat of their faces. That is about all that the average man will utilize. If he goes along four or five or six or eight or ten years getting something more he is losing a very valuable part of his life, but if he is a real student, a real specialist—and he must become a specialist if he is going to devote his life to research and investigation—the college course is necessary for him in order that he become proficient in his specialty. There is always a question as to whether the average student will survive the spotting effects of a college course. However, you could not stop the collegiate or university course if you were to try. A very small percentage of the people can spend the time and money necessary to go through college, but there are a great many students who go ahead and accomplish something along the specialties, as there are a great many of them who accomplish something practical in business and in politics notwithstanding the burden of bearing a collegiate course. The human animal on the average is not worth his salt if he is incapable of making his own way. The greater rewards come in business not in politics. A good business man is much better off than a poor politician. The business man has better chances for advancement and receives greater remuneration. Farm Warns the City Economic Adjustment and Closer Relations Demanded By Senator McCumber Y what law, God-given or man-created, have the denizens of cities a greater right to the comforts, the luxuries, the pleasures of life than have the tillers of the soil? The wonderful prosperity of the last dozen years has developed a life of reckless extravagance in this country. The great number of wealthy people now present in every large city has set a pace of high living with which the less fortunate are trying to keep up. Economy and self-denial seem almost to have become a lost art.

The city gait is entirely out of relation and proportion to the more rigid economy practiced by the rural population. There must and should be an economic adjustment upon a plane of closer equality, and this means that we must eliminate some of our most extravagant habits; that we may not satisfy all of our expensive desires. We make living expensive because we submit to excessive charges rather than deny ourselves some useless luxury. Let us begin our economy at the right point. Let those men who need some expression for their excessive boycott spirit turn it against the $5 to $25 a day rooms at their hotels. Let those ladies direct it toward the $25 to $50 hat that has not $4 worth of actual maternal on it. When they have done that they will have accomplished a double good—they will have brought these and kindred articles down to a reasonable basis, and they will have saved sufficient means to pay the farmer and the retailer fair and honest compensation for their foodstuffs. They will have given new strength and power to the principle of "live and let live."—Columbian Magazine. THE BRAVE MAN IN THE BOX. Of all the calm, brave, indomitable men I have ever met it seems to me that Joannn Beck is the most remarkable. Because he had made up his mind to become an American he deliberately exposed himself to danger of death in hideous form, lay for sixteen days and nights in utter darkness in the hold of a ship, nearly perished for lack of food and water, and even then would not have been allowed to enter the land of his heart's desire but for the intervention of a reporter who believed there was a "good story" in Johann's adventures. It lay on the very top of the cargo, a box almost six feet long, nearly three feet wide, and four feet high. What a craft for the hopeful adventurer setting forth to conquer a new world! One could not look at the wretched contrivance without feeling a thrill of sympathy for the poor devil who had risked his life in it, as well as of admiration for his high courage. Closer examination revealed that the box had a lid and that the lid was tilted back. There were three little wooden buttons on each side of the lid that could be turned down under strips on the edges of the box, so as to hold the lid down. Thus it was apparent that the stowaway had worked alone and unaided. Instantly appeared the mental picture of the man calling at the forwarding office and making arrangements for the shipping of the box to America; then waiting at the window of his lodgings for the express-wagon to appear, and, after seeing the men enter the house and hearing their steps on the stair, popping into his box and silently drawing down and buttoning the lid from within. Oh, but this was good stuff that would make 'em sit up! The lantern flashed into the box. The bottom was upholstered with a cushion of hay about a foot deep and fastened down with burlap. Wise man he must have been, to save himself hard knocks, and, if he must die, at least to lie soft and snug while flying. At one end of the box lay an old round valise, full of socks and two suits of underclothes, which had served as a pillow. On one side was a long, thick, cheap old overcoat of dull yellow-and-brown check pattern, thin at the elbows, the much-worn coat of a very poor man, a rent seam here and there sewed up with coarse black thread. Item: The box adventurer was very poor indeed, but he was clean and neat, even to the point of sewing his own overcoat where it had ripped. Pretty good port of man for Amerlea to acquire. Tucked away among the hay were the empty cans and bottles that had contained food and water so a few gifts of wrapping-paper probably had held bread, but now we bare of so much as one crumb—William Inglis, in Harper's Weekly. A Chance For the South. In the South a pound of cotton is worth fifteen cents now, and yet that pound of cotton is taken to Massachusetts and in less than a month it will be worth forty cents. It will be taken to England, and in less than six months it will be worth $1.00. That pound of cotton will then be taken to Paris and will sell for $2.50 a pound. That opens up opportunity for the South.—Southern Workman. Bradstreet's says: Retail trade and most crop reports are, on the whole, better this week, the result mainly of the arrival of a long-delayed seasonable summer weather. Aiding the improvement in retail trade, which at best, however, is not up to expectations, has been the offering of concessions in many lines of dry goods and wearing apparel. Exceptions to the improvement are in the Northwest, where the critical state of the spring wheat and other crops, due to drought, is noted, and also at many Southern points, where retail trade is still quiet. There has been a little more confidence in ordering from jobbers and wholesalers for fall, but in the Northwest there is a disposition to await a clearer view of the crop outlook before adding to the already fairly good business booked for fall in dry goods and clothing. Confirmation of theory that there is a demand for goods at a price is found in the fairly satisfactory response in the way of orders to the general reductions noted by manufacturers of bleached cotton and gray goods this week. In industrial lines there is little evidence of improvement yet to be seen. The iron trade is fairly active, but pig iron is lower, and the trade feeling as to the last half of the year is hardly as optimistic as in the first six months. In cotton goods the movement is still in the direction of curtailment, both at leading Northern and Southern centers. Woolen manufacturing is also on short time. The output by jewelry manufacturers is not up to normal. Overproduction is still in evidence in the copper industry. Collections do not show much improvement. Wholesale Markets.

WILL ATTEND CLASS DANCE. The Attempt of the June Graduating Class to Exclude the Misses Vandervall From Social Function Fails—Offer to Buy Their Tickets Spurned. Firm Stand For Principle. By N. BARNETT DODSON. When in the early part of the year little Miss Estella Gibbs carried off the honors in making the highest average of any pupil in the entire school population of Hoboken. N. J., a thrill of admiration pervaded the heart of the race. When young Johnson captured high school honors in Jersey City colored Americans gave three cheers. In each of the above instances honors were awarded, and we heard no complaint. It was at such times that we expressed the appreciation of the race for the fairness of the school authorities in those cities. We also quoted from an editorial on the situation which appeared in the Newark Evening News, as follows: "Instances of the same kind are not numerous, and yet they can be found in practically all the large cities of this state." If the colored pupils do not capture the highest honors as did those of Hoboken and Jersey City a goodly proportion of them prove to be energetic, studious, mentally capable and quite as competent to pursue the courses of study as are the white children. So far as public school education is concerned, there is no color line in New Jersey and no withholding of honors fairly won by industry and application. Judging from the recent action of the June graduating class of the East Orange high school in attempting to exclude the Misses Isabella and Irene Vandervall, members of the class, from participating in the class dances, it would seem that sentiment in favor of intelligence, honesty and high moral character has suddenly undergone a radical change. The young ladies in question are the daughters of Mr. James N. Vandervall, a well known and highly respected business man of East Orange. He is the owner of the Essex Steam Carpet Cleaning works and owns other valuable property besides. When it was found that the class purposely meant to slight his daughters and thereby rob them of their legal rights Mr. Vandervall took a hand in the disgraceful affair himself. He went to John Herman, secretary of the class, and demanded tickets for his daughter. The principal of the school acted the part of a coward when he said, as it is alleged, that the "dance is given by the senior students after they graduate, and the school has nothing to do with it." The most thoughtful and businesslike statement of the whole affair, however, is given in the following personal interview by Miss Isabel Vandervall. She says: "We are demanding our civic rights, and we are going to get them, not for A MISS ISABELLA VANDERVALL. our own sake alone, but for the sake of future generations. "We are not seeking social identity with the white race," she continued. "Educated Negroes have their own social sets. We have no desire to mingle with white people at their social functions either before or after graduation, but we are the daughters of a citizen of this country and town. We pay taxes, and we help maintain the state. The schools are public institutions for all. It is public policy that they should be. "Those who wish to live apart should send their children to private schools. This proposed dance is a class affair of the public schools. It is not und and should not be solely a social function. It is in the nature of a civic gathering of pupils of the public school. Because they were together in the school they hold this party. Therefore no distinction should be drawn between members of the class because of race. "It is for the principle of the thing we are demanding our civic rights. All the girls have the privilege of inviting male escorts. I hope that they would not want me to go to the party with a white boy. It is my privilege to ask one of my own race and color. "They know me well enough to know that I would not go with a young man who was not a gentleman. The young man with whom I shall go-for I am going—will be the moral and intellectual equal of many white boys, who will be there. I dare say he will be as refined also. "The only rights we ask and demand are our civil rights and the privileges of our common institutions at public functions, where under the spirit of Americanism no class lines are supposed to be drawn. Beyond that we have no desire or intention to obtrude ourselves. "I owe it to future generations of colored girls who shall have won intellectual equality with the white people to make this stand. Many colored girls will graduate from our schools as my race goes on in this community, and before the law they must be equal at all public and common functions with the whites, provided they are indies. "My father came here from Virginia years ago with the ambition to make a good citizen of himself and be of use in the world. "I have been too busy with my studies to mind that we were not invited to social affairs. The class has held entertainments to raise money for this graduation. We were not asked and A. H. MISS IRENE VANDERVALL. didn't mind. Then came the preparations for the dance, and we were sounded to find out if we wanted to go. We did. With careless indulgence they offered to buy our tickets. Buy them from us! As if such a right could be measured in money! "No tickets were sent us, and my father humiliated himself to go and ask Mr. Herman, the class president, for them. He was refused till he talked of the courts. Then one ticket was sent for both, with no chance for an escort. Would the white people respect us more if we showed no spirit in a case like that? I think not. We are going to get the other ticket and will go to the party with our escors." If such a thing occurred from ignorance one might look upon the perpetrators with some degree of sympathy. But such is not the case in this instance. Think of a class of young persons in a northern school about to graduate which has not the moral courage to accord to its schoolmates common politeness! Miss Isabella Vandervall expects to further extend her studies in a northern medical school, and Miss Irene will devote her time to music. The family has not only the sympathy but the highest approval and congratulations of the whole Negro race. RACE AT DISADVANTAGE WITHOUT THE BALLOT. Personal Influence, However Powerful, Cannot Take Its Place, Says Dr. Washington. In his highly enlightening work entitled the "Story of the Negro" Dr. Booker T. Washington, in referring to the Negro of character in the south and with reference to Negro suffrage, says: "I know any number of Negroes in the south whose influence is so strong because of their character that their wish or word expressed to a local or state official will go almost as far as the word of any white man. "There is a kind of influence that the man exerts who is prosperous, intelligent and possesses high character—a kind of influence that is intangible and hard to define, but that no law can deprive him of. "I do not mean to suggest that the sort of personal influence I have described" is in any way a substitute for the ballot or can be expected to take its place. It ought to be clearly recognized that in a republican form of government if any group of people is left permanently without the franchise it is placed at a serious disadvantage. "I do not object to restrictions being placed upon the use of the ballot, but if any portion of the population is prevented from taking part in the government by reason of these restrictions they should have held out before them the incentive of securing the ballot in proportion as they grow in property holding, intelligence and character." Pittsburg Will Greet Noted Singer. The most interesting coming event for Pittsburg music lovers will be a song recital at the Warren Methodist Episcopal church on Tuesday evening, July 19. The attraction on this occasion will be the appearance of Mme. E. Ezalla Hackley, who has already won fame at home and abroad. Pittsburg will turn out en masse to greet this great singer. She will receive the finest ovation of her life. Subject: Pictures of the Kingdom, Matt. 13:31-33, 44-52—Commit to Memory Verse 44. GOLDEN TEXT.—"The kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." Rom. 14:17. TIME.—A. D. 28. PLACE.—By the Sea of Galllee, near Carneum. EXPOSITION. — I. Outward Growth and Inward Rot, 31-33. Two more parables of growth and both about "the kingdom of heaven." The parable of the mustard seed shows the marvelous outward growth of the kingdom from the smallest beginnings. Christ began His work with a few obscure men, and it spread until the nations took shelter in its branches. Some would take the birds of heaven here to be evil spirits, as in verses 4 and 19, but it is not safe to take the imagery of one parable over into another. The reference seems rather to be to Ezek. 17:23, 24, where the birds represent the nations. But another growth is taking place, "leaven" (or yeast, the product of putrefaction) within. Leaven is everywhere in the Bible a type of corruption. We have an inspired interpretation of this parable in 1 Cor. 5:6; 7; Gal. 5:8. 9. The woman, the apostate church, mixed "the leaven" of false doctrine (Matt. 16:6, 12) into the children's bread and the whole doctrine and life of the church was leavened. History fulfilled this prediction. II. Finding Without Seeking. 44. In this parable the great value of the kingdom is brought out, it is a treasure hidden from the eyes of men. Jesus spoke the words in a land where treasure was often hidden for security and sometimes found by accident. The man in this case stumbled on the treasure without seeking for it. He represents the man who stumbles on the Gospel truth entirely without his own seeking. The fact that the field represents the world in the parable of the tares does not necessitate our interpreting it as the world in this parable. In verse 44 the treasure represents one thing and in verse 52 something entirely different. The man had to sell all that he had to get the field and the treasure it contained, and we must give up all if we would gain Christ and the treasure that is in Him (Lu. 14:33). What the man sold and gave up was little indeed in comparison with what he got, and what we sell or give up to gain Christ is little indeed in comparison with what we get (Phill. 3:7, 8). It is not likely that this man, after he got his treasure, talked much of the sacrifice he had made in order to acquire it. It is the constant teaching of the Bible that salvation is a free gift (Eph. 2:8; Rom. 6:23), but there is a sense in which grace is "bought" (Isa. 55:1; Rev. 3:8; Prov. 23:23; Matt. 25:9, 10), there are sacrifices that must be made if we are to obtain eternal life. Jesus sought a treasure in us in this world and gave up that He had in order to gain it (2 Cor. 3:9; 12:2). III. Socking and Finding, 45, 46. There is a similarity between this parable and the preceding and also a difference. In the preceding parable the treasure was found by one not looking for it. In this parable the one who finds the pearl of great price is seeking goodly pearls. So there are those who are earnestly seeking the truth when they find the kingdom. Such are represented by this parable (cf. Job 28:12, 13, 15, 18). The pearls sought were wisdom or truth in general; the One Pearl found is He in whom all truth is incarnate (Jno. 14:6). Jesus is the one Pearl of Great Price. In verse 44 the man bought the field, not for itself, but for what was in it. In this case the man bought the pearl for itself. Men often seek to gain Christ for what they can get in Him, but we ought to seek Him for what He is Himself. The one seeking goodly pearls needed to be on his guard against imposition; and so do we need to be on our guard in this day when there are so many false Christs and so many false systems. The man did wisely when he sold all his other pearls to gain this One pearl, and we do wisely when we part with all other pearls to gain the one Pearl of Great Price. IV. Gathering of Every Kind, 47-50. In its outward manifestation the kingdom of heaven at first gathers, of every kind, good fish and bad fish. The sea into which it is cast is the sea of the nations. The time will come when the net will be full and then will come the separation. The bad fish represent the wicked (49; cf. 38). The good fish the righteous. The good fish are gathered into a place of safety. The bad are cast away and burned. The separation takes place "at the end of the age." The angels will do the separating. The furnace of fire represents the ultimate destiny of the wicked. V. Giving Forth the Treasure Found, 51, 52. It is an important question that our Lord puts as He brings to a close the seven parables. He is putting the same question to us to-day. There is only one way that we can understand the teaching of Christ Himself, by the Holy Spirit (1 Jno. 5:20; Jno. 16:12-14; 2:20; 1 Cor. 2:14; Jas. 1:5). The disciples said they understood, but it is doubtful if they did (Matt. 16:11; Mk. 7:18; 9:31; 32; 8:15). Neither do we always understand when we think we do. The one who is really instructed in the kingdom will prove it by imparting the treasure to others also. The truly instructed scribe does not hesitate to bring forth old things as well as new. Neither is he afraid of the new. Eternity Before Us. We complain, we fret, we hurry, we strive to make a figure in the world, and chafe against our limits. Why should we make so much ado? We have an eternity before us. He that belleveth shall not make haste.—Stowford Brooke.

It was a 4th of time when the thirionies declared for indepen- that was the beginning of a republic, whose shadow now falls athwart the earth, as a world power, and must be reckoned with, in all the mighty movements among the nations. Since the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the spirit of liberty has girdled the earth and there has not been founded one single absolute monarchy since that day. The birth time of the young republic in the West was big with consequences in the world's life and history; and her place among the nations, bulks larger every day. It was no vain struggle therefore with the mighty Britian, when this nation threw off the yoke of the power beyond the sea. That struggle planted in the bosom of the Western forests the seed of liberty, and government by the people and the seed have made good. In the beginning of that struggle, which began on the streets of historic Boston, Chrispus Attucks, a Negro, was the first to fall in his blood in the defence of his country. From that day until now the Negro and the Saxon have mixed their blood in every great struggle thru which the nation has passed. Let the Negro celebrate Independence Day. Let him hang Old Glory out to the breeze and sing: "My Country 'Tis of Thee." Let no man delude you into saying you have neither country nor flag. This is our country and Old Glory is our flag, purchased, redeemed, defended by the blood of the patriot sons of Ham. WHAT WILL HE DO? The interest in the ex.President does not diminish. The whole country is again on the quiver as it was for the years Roosevelt was in the White House. The people do not seem to sleep as soundly as they did when Roosevelt was in the jungles of Africa. The very night of the contending political forces is filled with horrid perlubrations and many dreaming politicians turn restlessly on their beds in the darkness of the night, and mutter: Roosevelt! The Regulars and Insurgents all alike, have met the hearty grasp of his hand and fallen under the genial smile and each has gone away, feeling, "I am it." Although the great Tueodore has smiled he is still the political sphynx and the world is waiting to hear what he has to say on the political situation in America. The speaking trip which he has planned extending from New New York through Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, has led to many a guess as to what it all means. It seems now that Roosevelt on the chess board of life has moved into the row of kings and others who are great can only wait in his antichamber. Mr. Mack, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, seems to have a clear view of the third term spectre and while some are averse to it they speak it under their breath for the people believe in Roosevelt. At present nobody knows what he wants. Nobody knows what he will do; but all are agreed that whatever he wants of the American people he will get it. "SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD." Just about this time it is in order for Afro-Americans holding office in the South by the grace of President McKinley or Theodore Roosevelt, to send in their resignations to the "Big Chief" in order to prevent him further embarrassment and at the same time by so doing to get hold of "something just as good" in Washington. Crum got his "something just as good" in an appointment to the Liberian Post, and now Bucker is to get his "Something just as good" in Washington, an insignificant post held by a white man who can very consistently be removed to make way for the black man, and thereby relieve the fat President from any further embarrassment along that score. Washington can stand any number of Afro-American appointments. There is no especial prejudice there against the Negroes holding on to anything they may be able to tasten their hands upon. The average Washingtonian is too busy holding down some job himself or doing something else along similar lines that he has all he can do to look after himself, and not bother about the other fellow. The white South has gotten tired of seeing Negroes filling big political jobs, and so far as they have been able to do so have prevented Negroes from holding down any that comes by way of city of State. They have turned their attention to the good, fat plumbs, owned and controlled by Uncle Sam; and have protested so loud and so long to Uncle's representative in the White House that he has concluded to hear their prayers and remove from their midst the black Federal office holder, and so Mr. Sambo has to take up his bed and walk. With the probable exception of Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland, there is absolutely no chance in the world to capture a single Presidential vote in any Southern State, and recently one of the most prominent journals in the South, the Florida Times-Union, stated that no matter what President Talt did in the removal of Negro office holders, he need not expect that was going to get any votes by it Northern and Western States that cast their votes and elect Republican Presidents are almost entirely ignored and offices that ought to go to them are given to Southern men, who have no vote, save in the nomination conventions. Some day the Northern Negroes will learn the value of their votes and Bryan or some other Northern Democrat will occupy a seat in the White House, sent there largely by Negro votes. If white men can afford to be insurgents to get what they want, what is the matter with the Negro? FACT ABOUT THE STOMACH The stomach might be termed a human "barometer." Its functional condition indicates accurately the state of one's health. It is one of the most important organs of the body, for within it originate the greater part of the numerous forms of disease which afflict mankind. The stomach is composed of three layers, the external being compact cellular tissue. The middle layer is formed of muscular fibre, and the interior layer or lining, is composed of mucous membrane. The organ has a soft, spongy appearance, and when not distended lies in folds. From a physiological standpoint the stomach may be considered as a hollow muscle, capable of holding from one to two quarts. At the lower end of the organ is a narrow orifice in which the circular muscular fibres are much thicker. The food enters the stomach from the upper orifice, and is discharged from the lower opening. It was at one time supposed that digestion was begun and practically completed in the stomach, though it is now known that it is but one of a series of organs engaged in the very important process of preparing the food for assimilation. As a matter of fact, the process of digestion really begins in the mouth, and only ends when the waste portions of food are actually ejected from the body. The fact that the stomach is more liable to disease than any of its fellow organs is principally due to its construction, which is more of less of an elaborate nature, and of the diet errors which civilized humanity is habitually making.—Bernarr Macfadden in July PHYSICAL CULTURE.

At one time he was a member of the City Council of Jacksonville, Fla. While pastoring at Payne Memorial Church several years ago he was exchange editor and a regular contributor to the editorial columns of the Afro-American Ledger. Dr. Waters is survived by his wife, Mrs. Amanda L. Waters, and four grown children. The children are Mrs. R. E. Pope, who is employed in the Bureau of Engraving at Washington; John C. Jr., a clerk in the War Department and student at Howard University, Washington; T. Wallace, a student of pharmacy at Howard University, and George Waters, of this city.

His wife, Mrs. Laura Matthews, survives. The funeral took place from his late home, 1702 Drudid Hill avenue, last Monday afternoon, Rev. L. Z.

Judging from gossip that is current on the streets, all is not serene at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church. Some of the leading members of the church have for some time been opposed to the pastorate of Rev.W. A. C. Hughes. Some of this hostility is said to have been existent since the "War of the Roses" rally held about a year ago. Over $3000 was raised in this rally, and Pastor Hughes led the victorious forces, while Mr. John Henry Smith led the vanquished hosts. The hostility against the pastor broke out in all its fury, at the quarterly conference on Wednesday evening of last week, when Mr. John Henry Smith, one of the most influential members of the church startled those assembled by reading a number of alleged charges against the administration of Dr. Hughes, who then took the floor and made a rejoinder to Mr.Smith's charges. The members sat spellbound during the exchange of words, and a considerable amount of suppressed feeling, one way or the other, was noticeable. The end is not yet as both factions seem to be in a fighting mood and interesting developments are expectsd. Dr. Hughes could not be located this week, and at his home it was stated that he had gone on a lecturing trip. Mr. Smith is spending the week at Patapsco, Md.

PECULIAR TRAINS HAVE THEY IN EUROPE PECULIAR TRAINS HAVE THEY IN EUROPE Continued from page 1 on his clothes and is out looking at the sight. Rev. Rankin i- looking out for the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He is the only man over for his church, but I am told that there are two sisters to be in Edinburgh this week, and I shall tell you about them if I find them next time. But coming back to the steamer now. That great big old boat stopped right out in the middle of some stream and we were told that the land was Greenock. It stopped right still, and a little boat steamed up by the side of the boat and then another one and another one. The bucle sounded for breakfast, and we were told that after breakfast we were to be put aboard of the little boat and it would carry us to land, thereby preventing us from seeing the ship yard and other sights sailing into Gla- gow, for we were brought here on train. Dr. Rankin declared that he was hungry, and Rev. Robinson said he was feeling an aching void, and I was ready to eat the whole ship, but could not eat for a desire to get on land. Seated at our table was Mrs. Emma Bailey Speer, of Enalewood, who seemed to enjoy eating her last boat breakfast with us. It was a hurry and a rush this time. "This way for shore," could be heard from many and the people were filling up the little boat. The servants of the boat were standing around with their muts out for tips. We! I put a tip or two in their hands, got on the little boat and was soon on land. Well we could not walk out at will, but were placed in a room, in fact we were packed in it like sardine . Our baggage put in a big room, according to letter, commencing " A. B. C. " and so on . I rushed to the letter of my name, did not think about Colonel, and the man had me to open my bag, and asked if I had any wines, whiskey, cigars or perfumery. I had a bottle of something to make me smell. He looked at it, and then put it back. He did not have me open anythng else, but put a chalk mark on me, and I was soon off for the train Now you talk about trains, iron horses, wagons, or whatever you desire to call them, but these over here take the cake. They are\made up in little boxes. Three ride backward, three forward. Each box will hold six. When we got to the place, Bish op Hamilton said to me: "We are now at a place, where black men, white man, red man, or any other man is simply a man, and that is because God has been over here." "I believe that He will yet find His way to America," I replied, and the Bishop answered, "I hope so." Well we got in the little end, and Dr. Rankin wanted to drink and it cost him just two cents to drink, or one penny, which is equal to two cents in our money. "I am ready to go home right now" said Dr. Robinson, "because it is tip, tip all the time," and then he took a long breath and asked "Will I have to tip any one for that?" We saw no mit to drop the tip in. It took just one hour to examine the luggage and we were permitted to pass on. I am not going to say anything about the ride, nor the scenery. I have never had such a time since I have been in the world. Well every man called after his own luggage as it is called, and is you desire to get a whole section to yourself, just tip and he pull mark "Reserved." Reaching Glasgow, we went to St. Enoch hotel, a large 5 story stone building, with 800 rooms. We found standing to receive us an important functionary known as the "Portuer." He called an underling to go and get the luggage and returning we registered and were assigned to our room. The clerk was a female, but as polite as a basket of chips. Room 209 was assigned us and the cost was 9-6 equal to $2.25. It was a beautiful room, electric lighted, and a bed light. With a wardrobe, dresser, big arm, chair, writing desk and paper, one single bed and a double bed. Dinner was served at 6 o'clock in courses. It would not be out of place for me to mention a few things on the bill, since I did not know what they were, perhaps you will know. "Hors S'Euvres, Potage, Germany, Turbot, Sauce Printanier, Filet De Merlan Orly." I suppose I had better not use any more of them for some of you will want to fly over here to eat them. Public School Closes And A Large Number of Graduates Receive Their Diplomas. (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Winchester, Va., June 26.—The Masons had their annual sermon preached to them on last Friday evening at John Mann M. E. Church. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. E Dotson, of Charlestown, W. Va. Among the visitors were Rev. S. H. Bean, of Martinsburg, and Rev. Grigg, of Shepherdstown, W. Va. After the sermon a banquet was tendered them at the Odd Fellows' hall by the Ladies' Auxiliary, which was largely attended. Mr. Morris Carter has returned home after spending a week in Baltimore, visiting his grand-father, Mr. Edward Gassaway, who spent three weeks here visiting his daughter, Mrs. L. A. Carter The closing exercises of the public school took place last Friday, a very interesting program was rendered. Among the graduates were Miss Mary L. Jefferson, Miss Alice V. Johnson and Mr. Boyd Jackson. The diplomas were awarded to the graduates by Rev. J. H. Ross. The graduates received many handsome presents. Mr. Luther H. Brown has returned home from a business trip to Harrisonburg, Va. "A Tour Around the World" was given on Monday night under the directions of the Search Light Club, No. 9, for the benefit of the Free Will Baptist Church. I have visited the Glasgow University, the Art Gallery, Western Lifesciary, and several other places. About 7 o'clock we started out for a stroll. Stopped on one corner waiting for a car, and in a few minutes there were several hundred people around me. I pulled out, and all up the street they were pointing at me. I must be beep a circus. It is now 10 o'clock at night and is just getting dark, so I will bring this letter to a close. Pray for me that I may hold out and at last get home to heaven. It will not be long before I will start for home. I have promised to attend the meeting of the Pythian Grand Lodge in Yazoo City, Miss., next month, and hope to attend the Wood River Sunday School Convention. MISSISSIPIANS ATTRACTED TO MOUND BAYOU Continued from page 1 Much interest was manifested in the coming of Emmett J. Scott, not so much because he is the personal representative of Mr. Washington, but because he has made himself a force in the life of our people and because of his own telling work and vigorous character, the people as a whole have come to regard him as one of the race's most potential forces. Mr. Scott said that Mississippi had been one of the strongest links in the chain of local and State leagues that had given the parent organization its strength and potentiality and in a characlistic manner gave a succinct history of the National League. Mr. Scott said in pht. "In a summer when New York and New Orleans and Akron had each painted a sombre picture of racial friction and planted in the hearts of many the seeds of dark despair that two races so utterly unlike in racial characterists should ever be able to live together, there gathered at Boston a small group of sincere, earnest black men who came together to take stock, to do something to overcome the rising tide of racial antipathy which apparently was sweeping over the land. "They came together in the spirit of men who know the possibilities of the race, for they had tested their own feeble wings and were learning to fly; they knew they had at least in part succeeded, and they believed that hundreds of others had also succeeded, and that if they could put in evidence the tangible evidence of success, the world would refuse to deny them that consideration which it ever pays to him who labors, and though filtering a. times succeeds. "We are a hopeful people. We must continue so if we are to succeed. Earnest protest against prejudice will be expected of us, but lamentation never. An inch of progress is worth a yard of complaint. "Do not depend on the first page news columns of daily papers for information as to the status of the Negro. Sometimes to read them one would judge that the South is in deadly eruption, and that friction between the races is the rule and not the exception. All of us know how erroneous such a conclusion would be. "We are not without friends right here in the South, at our very doors; men who may be reached in all our endeavors to uplift ourselves. In all parts of this, our common section, a growing element of courageous men are coming to the front, not so much in defence of the Negro, as of justice and fair play between man and man. These men must be encouraged: We must not make their position untenable by failure to recognize that while we have rights, we have also duties and responsibilities, and that as precious as our rights, duties and responsibilities are infinitely more overshadowing."

He never could be hurried O'er pavements, boards or stones. If passed by horse or wagon, By cart or open rig, He trotted more than gladly Behind a thing so big. He cared not what would pass him, And ever poked along, His motto: "Take things easy." Of course, all the little men and women have been reading about the wonderful things that have been happening in England during the last few weeks, but the papers have had to say so much about the kings and queens and the other important grown-up people who came to King Edward's funeral that they couldn't tell us very much about the children of the new King and Queen, who also appeared in the great processions and who, of course, are ever so much more interesting than the grown-ups. King George has six children, all under seventen, so that they would all be eligible to try for prizes on the page for Little Men and Little Women if they wanted to; but princes and princesses have so much to learn that it isn't likely they would ever be able to find time for anything of that sort. There are five boys in the King's family and only one girl, Princess Mary. Her full name is Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary, and some day her father, the King, will give her the title of "Princess Royal," which is always born by the oldest daughters of the kings of England, but people who know her say that she is a very simple, jolly, little girl in spite of her dignities, and not only her five brothers but everybody in England is very fond of her. For several years Princess Mary shared her brothers' lessons, as she did their games, and held her own in both. Now, however, she has a governess of her own. She has been complimented on her French by the French Ambassador, and, like many other girls of her age, she enjoys turning out marvels of crochet, knitting and needlework. She likes photography, too, and has taken pictures of many of her friends and kinsfolk. She would like to be an excellent "little mother" to Prince Henry, aged five, and at the coronation of King Haakon and Queen Maud of Norway it was noticed that no one could keep the small and very restless Crown Prince Olaf in order like his cousin Mary. Love before Queen Mary ever dreamed that she would become Queen of England she used to romp with her brothers among the bracken and heath in Richmond Park, where she lived with her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Teck, and she has always wanted her children to have the same freedom and good times that she had. As babies they had little overalls to wear when they wanted to make mud piles and get gloriously dirty, and Princess Mary had frecks with real pockets that she could carry her treasures in, just like a boy. All the little people have enjoyed gardening, and were encouraged in their first attempts at fishing by having the tiny fish they caught cooked for their own special feasts. They played ball with their grandfather, King Edward, and Queen Alexandra often came to take tea with in the nursery. So far they have known only the pleasant side of being royalties. They have lived in beautiful houses and seen all sorts of beautiful things. Those of them who are old enough have been present at solendid ceremonies that most other little folks can only read about. But very soon they will begin to find the burdens of their positions, and perhaps then they will be inclined to wish that they were just ordinary people. The young Duke of Cornwall is already old enough to realize that some day, if he lives, he must wear the crown of England and, no doubt, he is frightened when he thinks of it. His great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, said that when she learned that she was to be Queen it made her very unhappy, and people say that King George who used to be a very jolly, happy boy, has never been the same since his elder brother died and he became heir to the throne.—New York Tribune. BILLIE BUBBLE AND THE POCKETBOOK. "Hello, Billie Bubble," said a silvery voice from the bottom of the brook. "Hello yourself," said Little Billie Bubble, "who are you? "I'm a Pocketbook," the voice answered. "How did you come to be here?" said Billie, "and what are you good for." "That's a good joke," said the Pocke-ethook, laughing until his sides, fairly jinzled. "The very idea of asking what I am good for. "To tell the truth," he began, "I am not good for much of anything as long as I stay in the brook, but wait until somebody finds me. There isn't much I wouldn't do for them." "Well," said the Pocketbook, "I'm so full of gold and silver-dollars that my sides fairly ache holding them all. Should anyone find me, just think of the things I could buy. My mistress lost me one day as she was going across the bridge and I dropped into the brook here, and I have been here ever since." "Well," said Billie Bubble, "somebody who needs you very, very much may find you, and then what a lot of good you can do." "That's so," replied the Pocketbook, "but I am so very tired of lying here." And the Pocketbook yawned and stretched his mouth so wide that Billie Bubble saw a great flash of gold and silver inside of him. "Well," said Billie Bubble. "I must be going; good bye."—By Farmer Smith in the New York Globe. COASTING ON GRASS. The Canadian has his toboggan, the mountainer his ski, the rustic Easterner his sled, the city boy his wheeled coaster for paved streets, but on the hillside of suburban San Francisco a boy may coast without snow, without a cement sidewalk, without even a coaster. All he needs is a piece of board and a hillside where there is a vacant lot covered with "slicker grass," and away he goes like a sandbag out of a balloon. It is a dangerous sport, but no boy loves it less for that. Even full grown men have been known to break faith with life insurance companies, forget their duty for a mad hour into this intoxicating frolic. Foxtail grass, or "sticker grass," as it most commonly is called, is the terror of gardeners. The seed head of foxtail is home on a rodlike stem that, as the season advances, becomes stiff and sleek like wire. In California, beginning usually in May, the foxtail makes its appearance on every hillside, thus furnishing an unrivaled coasting track. June is the ideal month for grass coasting. Almost any June day the boys are enjoying this sport on the slopes of Bernal Heights. Occasionally a long board starts down the precipitous descent with a sturdy steersman in front and a row of boys squatting along its entire length. On the downward flight some of the coasters are generally "spilled," beginning commonly with the one seated farthest back.—Inter-Ocean. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES. "Tommy," queried the teacher, "can you tell what an old settler is sometimes called?" "Yes, ma'am; a pioneer," was the reply. "Now, Johnny," said the teacher to another small pupil. "what is a pioneer?" "An old man who pays his debts." The family next door had a new dog, and small Ethel was admiring it. "Be careful," said the lady, "or he may bite you." "Why should he bite me?" asked Ethel. "Because he doesn't know you." "Well," queried the little miss, "why don't you introduce us?" Walter, the 5-year-old son of a minister, had frequently been told by his father to say "Get behind me, Satan," when tempted to do wrong. One day the father suddenly asked: "Walter, what do you do when tempted to do wrong?" "Why," he replied, "I just think of you and say, "Satan, go away back and sit down.""—Chicago News. RABBITVILLE SAVES ITS MONEY. A feller was hear trying to raze munney to put a fence around the graveyard, but Me and the leading citizens refused to put up a cent for such a useless expense. Them that is berried there can't get out, and us fellers what is out don't want to get in. So whyfore is a fence needed"—Rabbitville Correspondance Dallas, Ore., Optimist. Both in Front and Behind. Magistrate Rooney learned at the Twentieth and Vine streets police station recently that it is possible to be back of a person even if you are in front of him. The means of this startling intelligence was a stout German conductor, witness to a "breach of the peace" that occurred aboard his car. "You were on your platform, and yet you say that the prisoner was in back of you" said the puzzled Magistrate. "Ya." "Was the prisoner in the car?" "Ya." "Well, then, he must have been in front of you." "Nein," said the man patiently. "I am the conductor." "Then," exclaimed the Magistrate, "you were on the rear platform. The prisoner was in the car. Now how, in heaven's name, was he in back of you?" "My back was turned," he said.—Philadelphia Times. Defining An Art Patron. "Is your husband so very fond of art?" "Art! He doesn't know a Raphael from a haircut." "Why. I understood him to say that he was an art patron." "Patron! That man wouldn't trade a club sandwich for a Bougereau: What does he mean by calling him self an art patron?" "Why, he says it, costs him ten thousand a year to pay for the bogus masters the smooth dealers coax you to buy—and that makes him an art patron."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The ant night learn something to its advantage, thinks Ram's Horn, by going to the book agent. UP FROM COAL MINE TO FAME. Struggles of John C. Fulton of Cleveland, O. SERVED IN MANY CAPACITIES Tennessee Who Left Home In Early Life Served His Apprenticeship at Various Occupations and Rose to Prominence by Persistence—Politician and Military Leader. John C. Fulton of Cleveland, O., is a native of Morrisitowa, Tenn. Included with the determination to, make his mark in life, he left home at the age of thirteen and found employment as cart boy in a coal mine for a year and a halt at 40 cents a day. On leaving the coal mines he engaged in farming. His wage as a farm band was $3 per month. At the expiration of one year Mr. Fulton left the haunts of the farm for the more exacting duties of a railroad employee and arrived in Cleveland on the Nickel State railroad in September, 1881. For a number of years he served as railway mail clerk. Finding that his health was fast giving way, he gave up railroading and shortly afterward became interested in politics. Being naturally patriotic, he made the study of military tactics a part of his work. He organized the L'Ouverture rifles, of which he subsequently became captain. He rendered valuable services as messenger in the United States district court in 1803. In March, 1904, he was appointed commission clerk in the adjutant general's department in Columbus, O., under the administration of Governor Herrick. He was retained in this position under Governor Patterson and was reappointed by Governor Harris. When Governor Harmon became Ohio's chief executive he let Mr. Fulton go. but County Treasurer George E. Myers soon placed him in his office as clerk. Mr. Fulton still holds this position and has proved his worth. In politics he has been consistently aggressive and tactful. It was John C. Fulton who carried the Negro soldiers from Ohio to Cuba as captain of Company D. Ninth Ohio volunteer infantry. May 28, 1898. After a year's service with his company he was mustered out. On June 27, [Name] MAJOR J. C. FULTON. 1890. he was recommissioned captain and on Nov. 6 of the same year was elected major, which position he still holds with credit and dignity. Major Fulton is well and favorably known in military and political circles and is a man of both experience and ability. Thus we present another man of our race who has come up through difficulties and has made for himself by persistent effort a place in the ranks of those who have won success. Unwise Agitation Discouraged. X. Barnett Dodson says we believe in many contention for the manhood rights of every citizen to whom such rights are doubled. We believe in the kind of agitation that is backed up by action and common sense. Agitation minus action and common sense is useless and does more harm than good. Let the Negro race throughout the United States stand as a unit on all things affecting its well being. Let same agitation upon all questions certivate in concerted lawful action, without which agitation will come to naught. Thrifty City and County Organization. The good citizens' movement recently started by a number of professional, business men and ministers of Jersey City is meeting with praiseworthy success. The object of the movement is to promote the interest of the Afro-American population of Jersey City and Hudson county generally. At a largely attended mass meeting held at St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal church recently there were able addresses made by many prominent citizens. Hard to Head Off Negro Education. The Catholics are going to build a great school for the colored people in the heart of the south, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. Maybe this one will take the place of the Negro school which Kentucky would not allow within her borders. There is no way to head off Negro education. BANNER SCHOOL YEAR: Payne University Has Successful Year Under President Archer. The twentieth annual commencement of Payne university, Selma, Ala., and the first under President Dr. Briam E. Archer, recently held, was the most brilliant in the history of the institution. Throughout the commencement the chapel was crowded. The meeting of the board of trustees coincident with the commencement was a new feature. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by the Rev. W. B. Johnson of Birmingham. It was a masterpiece of pulpit oratory and one of the most powerful sermons ever preached in Selma. The service was beautiful throughout and very impressive. The processional was headed by Bishop H. B. Parks and Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Church Sunday School union, Nashville, Tenn., followed by 150 ministers and trustees and men of prominence. Then came the president, members of the faculty and the graduating class of ten members. In addition to these, sixteen finished from the English course and five from the department of sewing. Bishop H. B. Parks delivered the commencement address. The meeting of the trustees was an enthusiastic one, more than $5,000 having been raised for the university. President Archer submitted his report, in which he turned over $1,200 in cash to the board as a result of good management in running the institution during the past year. Nothing like this has ever been done before, and the board was enthusiastic over this proof of executive acumen. Dr. Archer was re-elected president of the university by acclamation. The full teaching force was re-elected save one from the English department, resigned. Miss Johnson, a graduate from Wilberforce university and the Chicago Training school, and a Miss Detson a graduate from Fisk university and Wilberforce, were added to the faculty. POWER OF GOOD EXAMPLE. Spanish-American War Veterans of Denver Form Camp. Keeping pace with courades in the east, says the Denver Statesman, the Negro veterans of the Spanish-American war have recently organized a camp and have been given a charter by the national head, to be known as the Corporal White camp, in remembrance of the first Negro to fall in Cuba. This camp was mustered in June 24 and with the help of friends hopes to be able to take an active part in the national encampment, which meets in Denver in September. Members of the two white camps have attended all meetings offering assistance and encouragement, and the executive committee of this department has promised financial aid. The camp will care for its sick members, their widows and orphans and hopes to make the organization a credit to the community. INTERESTING EVENT FOR OKLAHOMA CITY.

RELIGIOUS WORK WOMAN'S FIELD God's Appointed Agent to Draw Humanity Heavenward. IMPORTANCE OF CHILD LIFE. Able Presentation of Woman's Relation and Obligation to the Sunday School by Mrs. J. B. Long at Recent Convention in New York—Duty of Parents. For the benefit of religious instructors, those who have the care and training of children and for our readers generally we reproduce here the principal part of a paper read before the New England Baptist Sunday A. B. MRS. J. B. LONG. school convention by Mrs. J. B. Long of Providence, R. L. at its recent meeting in New York. Mrs. Long's subject was "Woman's Relation and Obligation to the Sunday School." She said in part: Because woman holds the destiny of humanity in her hands she is distinctively and essentially the God appointed agent to draw humanity from its infancy heaven and thus goodward. Therefore in any effort that inspires lofty thoughts and teaches such truths as will lead humanity into the right way of thinking and into the right way of living this shaper of human destiny ought to link herself. By such a union she is not only prepared to better discharge her God imposed duties, but by the help she receives her burdens will be made lighter. The Sunday school is one of God's agencies for molding character, and since women is God's school she will help her develop men and women. The Sunday school is the feeder to the church, and the church is the feeder to heaven. This is God's way. The hope of Christianity and of society is in the indoctrination of little children into the knowledge of God's truth. It is a grand thing to train the mind in the academies and in the colleges and universities to great intellectual achievement, but it will help a member at the very start of a child's career that the diplomas of colleges and universities can never bring pardon for sin. How essential, then, is discipline in a school under the Man of Gallilee, who trod the winnery alone and from whose association and acquaintance the child must get the moral and spiritual support so essential to successful service! Every woman is responsible for the religious training of every child she brings into the world. In all that she cannot teach him she must use the agency provided for her help. And now it is plain that the Sunday school school is responsible for the awful responsibility in this matter of training the minds of the young to think their thoughts after God. All of us will agree that every mother is responsible for the secular education of a child, and, while few mothers are capable of performing their duty in this particular, they resort to secular schools for help. So is every mother responsible for the religious training of her child, and what she cannot do herself she must use other agencies in doing so. The religious schools have much to do with the future inclination of the child the mother is responsible to the extent that she must always place it where it will have vital contact with the Saviour. It is well to remember that as soon as a child learns to walk toward its parents and goes to them for protection it should be taught to walk toward God and to go to him for guidance. Any woman who keeps her child from a knowledge of Christ by not making it possible for him to systematically study his word holds back a man or woman from his way to this woman who often ruins the whole day of life by denying the child the light that should come in the morning hours. The Sunday school teacher is simply the mother's agent. The mother is responsible to God for the religious training of her child. I hold, therefore, that the mother more than any other woman ought to be in the Sunday school in order to know what is being taught her child. You may trust the secular education of your child to its teacher and never enter the schoolroom, and you may never be called to account should the child not live according to his teaching, but in the light of the fact that at the judgment day God will hold you responsible for the spiritual child he gave you it in your duty to know which your child is being led by the spiritual guide that has only been sent to help you and not to relieve you entirely of your sacred responsibility. And now to the woman who is not a mother. What relation does she sustain to that agency that has for its object the indoctrination of divine truths and the utilization of the power of all who can either learn something themselves or teach somebody else something? This woman ought to be a student or a teacher of the Bible for the reason that she is not a true, powerful and useful force to society, and her arguments make she is familiar with that book that strengthens the mind with noblest thoughts and stores the heart with purest love and sinks deep into the soul such principles of righteousness that no wave of temptation can move.

Skin Humor Lasted 23 Years. "Cuticura did wonders for me. For twenty-five years I suffered agony from a terrible humor, completely covering my head, neck and shoulders, so even to my wife, I became an object of dread. At large expense I consulted the most able doctors, far and near. Their treatment was of no avail, nor was that of the —— Hospital, during six months' efforts. I suffered on and concluded there was no help for me this side of the grave. Then I heard of some one who had been cured by Cuticura Remedies and thought that a trial could do no harm. In a surprisingly short time I was completely cured. S. P. Keyes, 147 Congress St., Boston, Mass., October 12, '09." Face Covered With Pimples.

One day a customer entered the shop and asked if he had any trousers made especially for one-legged men. "Certainly," replied the merchant. "What kind do you want?" "Dress pants," said the man. "The best you've got." Hurrying to the rear of the shop, the enterprising merchant snatched a pair of trousers and snipped off the right leg with a pair of shears. Hastily turning under the edges he presented them to the customer. "That's the kind I want. What's the price?" "Thirty shillings." "Well, give me a pair with the left leg off." A month later the clothier was pronounced convalescent. — London Globe. GRATIFYING PRAISE. Ex-Congressman Ferrell, of New Jersey, Makes a Statement. Thomas M.

SELF RELIANCE Threefold System of Education Essential to Success. A CHILD'S SOUND PHILOSOPHY Young Women Should Practice Religious Duties if They Would Know Truths of Morality—We Should Not Go Through Life as a Mere Product of Nature, Says Learned Scholar. We are indebted to Miss Adele Thompson, professor of dermatology in the Butler Beauty Institute, Detroit, Mich., for the following contribution, which she is pleased to call the "Religion of Self Reliance." Miss Thompson says: "By reading the records of various schools and colleges we note that a vast number of young women are striving to attain that high state of knowledge laid down for the education of brain, the training of the mind, etc., by some rigid tutor who would stick to but one text. "We admit that to educate our brain and elevate our minds to higher thoughts and things are glorious teachings of which we should ever be mindful. But what are these, after all, or what can they ever hope to obtain when associated with a pair of ignorant hands, incapable of the performance of the duties of simple life? "If we would have our girls become faithful wives and good, loving mothers we should educate them to do with their might what their hands find to do. "That good common sense teaching, which is the basis of sound judgment, when given them in the light of doing something as well as learning something, is a fundamental quality which will inevitably reproduce itself as they journey through life. "We believe that it is essential to have a keen mind, to be an acute critic, but with the common sense to rid ourselves of the formalities which generally go with such qualities. "Our young women should practice religious duties that they may become fully acquainted with the teachings of morality. This alone means much to our future civilization. A little girl remarked but a short time ago that 'mamma is all right until it comes to work. She does not stand the test of hard work worth a cent. Why, she gets cross and her religion plays out the moment the cook leaves.' "We would say that if the woman's religion only lasted while she was comfortable and pleasantly occupied it was no religion at all. And this is not a very pleasant thought, in view of the optimistic, self satisfied Christians found in large numbers. "The true religion of self reliance was not taught her in her early life. The old adage that 'cleanliness is next to godliness' and that the true virtues of an honorable woman will appeal to the world first through her honest work has been forgotten. "We fear that too much society and not enough real character is often a great fault of the home teachings. A. B. MISS ADELE THOMPSON. Too much overestimation of the brains and not enough education of the hands are the selfsame evils of many schools and colleges. "Why are the great prizes of invention, architecture, music, painting and numerous others awarded man instead of woman? Why is he her superior in these many avenues of life? Is because he is in possession of a greater thinking faculty than she, or is it because his mind is susceptible to the higher things of life? "We answer, No; decidedly no, for, although Solomon was wise, he gave ear to the queen of Sheba, and we stand ready to prove that girls in all of their tests in school are much more apt than their masculine companions. "However, we congratulate ourselves upon the fact that we have more than 5,000,000 wage earning women in the United States today who walk hand in hand with men in the various trades and are even performing mental labor, educating themselves and maintaining homes. "Let us do something. The age is ripe and the opportunity at hand. We should not travel through life as a mere product of nature. Neither should we pose as a victim of circumstances. Let us remember that he who was our Creator gave to each of us a talent, to which we should add more and more."

Standard Oil (Incorporated) MAPLEINE The World's Population. Much is made of the fact that the population of France is decreasing. Is it because we all shall be losers, if the death rate of that country continues to exceed the birth rate! Or is it because the rest of the world is especially fond of the French? Or is it because we fear that some day the population of the earth will be so small that human beings will not be numerous enough to combat wild beasts and other evils which are successfully combated today? Whatever may be the feelings with which the rest of mankind beholds the steady decline of the French people in numbers, the fact is there are still people enough on this planet, for while the population of France has increased only 3,000,000 since 1851, that of Germany had increased 30,000,000. Would it not be better then, to look on both sides of the population picture? It also might be well to consider this fact: If the French people have done their turn on this planet, the planet may have to reconcile itself to seeing them disappear or mingle with some other race.—Boston Globe.

There is some unrest in Texas, however, and many of our people are going to Oklahoma and Mexico. The governor of one of the Mexican States, has offered our people ten acres of land free if they would emigrate there, besides offering them every protection and right. When our people settle this Mexican State in sufficient numbers, representation is guaranteed in the Mexican Congress."
