DR. WASHINGTON MAKES A TOUR OF DELAWARE.
IS GIVEN AN OVATION BY BLACK AND WHITE IN EVERY PART OF THE DIAMOND STATE.
"The Foremost Citizen of His Race And One Of The Foremost Citizens Of Any Race In The Country," Says Governor Pennewell-Wants His Race To Draw The Line on Undesirable Citizens-Wants Equal Chance For Education of Black Boys and Girls.
(Staff Correspondence.)
Wilmington, Del., July 5—Seldom, if ever, has Delaware paid tribute to any man as it did to Dr. Booker T. Washington, who completed a two day tour of the State last night. Wherever he spoke his words of wisdom and counsel were applauded by the assembled audiences of white and black citizens.
Dr. Washington came into this State under the auspices of the Business Men's League, of which, Dr. Samuel G. Elbert, a leading physician in this city, is the president.
The party started out Sunday morning in automobiles which had been loaned by leading white citizens. The first stop was at New Castle, where Dr. Washington spoke in the public square. He was introduced by Rev. W. T. Rider, pastor of the Union American Methouse Episcopal church and he launched out on his speaking tour. A large audience greeted Dr. Washington at Newark, the Opera House being crowded. The music was under the direction of Prof. W. Smith, Jr.
An immense audience greeted him at the Opera House here. On the stage were seated some of the most prominent men of the town. Dr. Washington was introduced by Governor Pennewell, who said:
"Dr. Washington, who, rising to the necessities that so strongly appealed to him, having first raised himself by force of his own executive ability from a condition of seeing helplessness and friendlessness such words can scarcely describe; he then planned it as his life work to educate and uplift his people that they might be better men and better women and well indeed will it be for them it, in appreciation of his lifelong devotion, they shall accept Dr. Washington as their highest standard of excellence, giving heed and response to his precepts and earnest endeavor, so far at least as lies in the power of each to emulate his worthy example. Recognizing Dr. Washington as the benefactor of his people, the city welcomes his presence today and commends him to his Wilmington audience.
The educator in his address urged reliability, good morals, industry and education. A tremendous ovation was given at the close of his address, mahy crowding around him to shake his hand.
Mr. Harry T. Burleigh of New York sang the "Recessional" and other songs.
A reception was tendered Dr. Washington and his party at the beautiful home of Dr. E bert at night. Mrs. Elbert was assisted in receiving by Mrs. John R. Francis, of Washington. The Tuskegee was here greeted by some of the most prominent Wilmingtonians of both races.
PRAISED BY CONGRESSMAN
The party spent all day Monday travelled down the State in a special train. At the first stop, Georgetown, former Congressman Hiram Burton presided, and Judge H.-C. Couraud made the address introducing the chief speaker in the following words: "Dr. Washington represents something here today that it is worth while that all of us, whether white or black, should know something about. He is to speak to us in words of inspiration; tell us education is a good thing—education not only of the head but of heart and hand."

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
After Dr. Washington had concluded his address. Mr. Burton arose and stated that in the future the white people of his section would take more interest in their colored neighbors.
At Milford, Dr. Washington addressed a large crowd from the veranda of the National Hotel. A runaway horse frightened some of the audience which filled the street in front of the hotel, but no one was injured. The party were the guests at dinner of Rev. Jason, president of the State College at Dover.
TO THE CENTURY LEADER.
Dr. Washington was introduced at Dover by Secretary of State Smithers, who said that the noted educator was divinely commissioned for his great work and that his people are listening to him and he is becoming one of the most potent tactors of the twentieth century. At Clayton, Dr. Washington make a speech from the rear end of his train. The last stop was at Middletown, where he spoke at the Academy grounds. Mr. W. T. B. Williams, field agent of the Jeannes and Slater Fund gave a brief outline of the achievements of some of the men in the party. Dr. Washington also paid a high tribute Continued on Page 5.

MANY HISTORIC PLACES IN OLD EDINBURGH AMONG WHICH IS THE GRAVE OF JOHN KNOX
The Castle In Which Queen Mary Slept And The King's Bed And Bed Room-The Place Where Robert Burns Spent His First Nights On His First Visit To Edinburg-Where Hume Wrote The History Of England And Boswell Entertained Dr. John-
Edinburgh, Scotland—It seems to me the last time I wrote you a letter I was nearing Edinburgh, and now I must write you a few more lines from this part of the world. I had made the trip through the Trossachs now let us turn attention to Edinburgh.
Reaching Edinburgh I went directly to my hotel. I stopped at the Royal Hotel, one of the finest in the city. It faces on Princess street, and the people of Scotland claim that it is the prettiest street in the world. Perhaps it is, but I did not see it that way. In the front of the hotel was the statute of Sir Walter Scott. I do not need to say anything about him because you educated people know all about Scott.
Weeks of course might be spent in exploring the Scottish capital, in identifying the particular association of every court and cranny and in acquiring a complete knowledge of that "east wind west-windy" town. I was informed that all the chief places of interest could be witnessed in a three miles walk or little more.
The story of Edinburgh begins on the old gray rock castle. There according to tradition, the Pictish royal maidens were kept in pre-historic times. There in the 7th century, Edwin, the Northumbrain king, founded his stronghold, which took the name of "Edwin'sburgh" or Edinburgh. I am told that four hundred years later, the Saxon Margaret, wife of Malcolm Canmore, built a little chapel which still bears her name. From that day to this the stronghold has stood forth in history. Randolph Moray took it by escalade during the wars of Bruce. At the ominous feast there in the boyhood of James II, the back bull's head, sign of death, was set upon the table, and the young Earl of Douglas was hurried out to mock trial and execution. There, long after all hope was over, the brave Kirklady of Grange still held out for Queen Mary. And there in the perilous days of Revolution, the gallant Dundee after defying the Lords of Convention in the Parliament House, clambered up the rock for a last conference with the Jacobite governor, before riding away to his death juir the hour of victory at Killicrankie. Of the sights to see within the walls, the chief are the ancient Regalia of Scotland, including Bruce's crown, the great old cannon, Mons Meg, made for James II, by a smith at Castle-Douglas, the room in to which Queen Mary gave birth to James IV, and the State prison above the archway entrance in which the Marquis of Argyl and his son Earl successfully slept their last sleep before execution.
It is wonderful to see how in the castle it is kept preserved the bed in which Queen Mary slept, and the bed and bedroom, and many other things that would take me just a week to tell you about. So let us leave the Castle yard and go eastward, down a rapid descent. To the left we come in touch of Ramsey Lane, where the house of Allen Ramsey still stands embedded in Ramsey Gardens, and, further down, the Assembly Halls of the Established and Free United Churches confront each other in witness of the differing national views of church government. Next we come in contact with the Lawmarket which widens out. It is full of memories. Lady Stair's close contains the quaint mansion, restored by Lord Roseberry, which is associated with the founder of the family, who was the chief contriver of the Massacre of Glencoe. In James' Court, Hume, I am told wrote part of his history of England, and Roswell-entertained Dr.

Samuel Johnson. Then we see where Robert Burns spent his first night on his first visit to Edinburgh.
Looking to the right as you walk along we gaze at George IV Bridge which leads to Old Greytriars Kirk. In its graveyard the famous Latinist Geo. Buchanan, and the merry poet Allen Ramsey, are buried, the Solemle League and Covenant was signed, and the Covenanting prisoners were confined. Heriot's Hospital, founded by the Jing ling Geordia of James VI's time, stands close by; and below lies the Grassmarket where witches and heretics were burned, Captain Porteous was hanged, and Burke and Hare did their ghastly murder work.
We move on in direct line with Lawmarket to High street, crowded with memories. The Old Parliament House of Scotland there is now the home of the Supreme Court. Under its floor lies the famous advocate library. In front stood the old Tolbooth, or heart of Midlothian; its site is marked by the figure of a heart in the street paving. And between marked by the initial "J, K," is the grave of the great reformer, John Knox. This was the ancient graveyard of St. Giles' Cathedral, which rises at hand with its broad aisles and beautiful spire, the rival of St. Michael's at New Castle.

QUARTERLY MEETING OF MISSIONARY SOCIETY
(Special to Afro-American Ledger.)
Washington, July 3.—The third quarterly meeting of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society was held in Dent Chapel, Bladensburg, Thursday, and was presided over by Miss Mattie Throokmorton, first vice-president of the society, the president, Mr. M. P. Hill, being absent on account of sickness.
The regular routine of business was transacted. Rev. J. G. Martin, of Baltimore, in an address thought that not enough attention was being given the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Baltimore and Washington does not comprise the whole district Missionary Society of the Baltimore Conference, and he thought something ought to be done with the other portions of the state.

Sorrento, Maine (Special). — In fulfillment of the oft-expressed wish that he might end his long life in the very room where his wife breathed her last six years ago, the venable Chief Justice of the Supreme court of the United States, Melvilleeston Fuller, died suddenly of heart failure early today.
When Justice Fuller retired he was in excellent spirits, and not the tightest indication that there was serious trouble with his heart was observed. Mrs. Francis was awakened about 45 o'clock by a feeble cry from her then. Upon looking at him and saring his words, "I am feeling cry ill," she realized that he was a serious condition. Dr. Phelps carried over the three-mile stretch road in an automobile, but failed to arrive before his patient had passed beyond the reach of medical aid. Death came very peacefully, and retained his faculties until the aid, recognizing those about him,wing to a break in the telephone lines, it was necessary to send a message by water five miles to Bar Harbor to announce the Chief Justice's death.
Chief Justice Fuller had been a summer resident of Sorrento for 17 years. He came here from Chicago June 25 last, and since that time he been staying at the Mainstay, his summer home was called.

The boy, however, was too navy for the bird, which only succeeded in lifting him about two feet from the earth. Securing a stout tab, Mrs. Zebley attempted to strike the bird. The eagle dodged the owls, and after making several angles at the woman it flew away. R. Zebley, who had arrived with his shotgun, fired at the bird, but he shot went wild.

be no help for the unfortunate man or woman who is the victim of other people's children, or drunkenness, or other dissolute habits. Of course there may be an isolated instance of such a person having been helped, but I am reaching out now to the mass and not to the semi-occasional, lone individual. What I ask of you is, not to finance the organization, as there are dozens of millionaires who will do that when they are acquainted with our intention, but to try and help me find the people who have done no wrong, but are going down in their pockets constantly for and shouldering the burdens of the multitude that impose upon them.
The world is full of such people, but they are as difficult to find as the proverbial needle in the haystack. They are proud, self-respecting, self-annihilating, over-sentimental, and over-responsible people who go down, down in silence to the very portals of death, and are only guessed out by the public after after their funeral services.
It is this class and not the either who must partake of our charity! It is this class that is worth saving, for they are verily the salt of the earth, the bone and sinew of respectability, of right living and of honor! The other organizations are putting a premium on pauperism and a price on idleness! As plainly as though the words were written over their door, they say, "We will care for your offspring! Drunk, crazy, criminal, imbecile, or pauper, you can propagate your kind ad libitum! Children are the natural product of earth's garden, and although the most of your harvest be but weeds and nettles, there is charity for all, and we are still building prisons!"
These have been carrying on their mercy at such a pace that they have outrun old Justice! What I desire to do now is to ferret out the good people who are in trouble—weighted down to the breaking point by the sins of others—unable, through the long discipline at the hands of imposition, to save themselves from the fate of giving their lives for the unworthy.
tween pupils, and one more improvement in the social life of rural communities.
The mail carrier, on a rural route buys a car if he can afford it—or perhaps a motor cycle—because it increases his efficiency and leaves him more time for home life. The "bus line" from town to town where there are no interurban electric lines or railways had better be an automobile line if roads will permit. The traveling men, usually the principal patrons, all are willing to pay more fare to shorten weary distances. The liveryman, too, finds a motor car more in demand than the best of his horses and "rubber-tired rigs," and for this same reason—that his best patrons are willing to pay more for swift and comfortable transportation than for a "buggy ride."—Leslie's Weekly.

You know there are two kinds of trouble in the world—the kind you make for yourself and the kind that others make for you. Today there are innumerable organizations for assisting the class of adults who have ignorantly, wantonly, and deliberately made trouble for themselves by overcrowding their homes with children, drinking liquor, gambling, and being generally improvident, but there seems to

pense of the business he runs. Rents are high in certain localities owing to pressure of population. The price of beef is high, except for old cow meat. Everyone wants to eat butter and drink milk. But they cannot expect anything but veal, because dairymen do not raise steers. Sometimes the veal is canned chicken, perhaps.
People in this country never lived so well, never had so many conveniences and comforts of life, never had such comfortable places to live in, never had such cheap and rapid communication, and never such comfortable clothes in such abundance; never so many changes of fashion, so many superfluities as now. People generally may have empty pockets. There may be a reason for that; their backs, however, appear well covered. There has never since the world began existed such a vigorous, energetic, eager and consuming people on the face of the earth as exists right here in the United States.
We are reducing the home food supply by trying to feed Europe. We are crowding into cities, where no food is produced. The population is becoming unbalanced from many causes; the principal cause is, perhaps, the policy in stimulating the growth of manufacturing cities and towns, thus deducing the rural regions of their farmer boys and girls, who leave for the factories and the towns to get ready money and life and excitement.

HE cost of living is agitating our souls at present. The complaint comes from the cities. The middleman is the guilty person! Why? It is plain that the small distributing points, the little stores, do a limited business under heavy expense for store and home rents and other things, including the keep of horses.

Jefferson City, Mo. (Special).—Coroner O. E. Amos, of Cole County, held an inquest over the body of Miss Anna Wendler, which was found in the Missouri Riven. He examined witnesses on the theory that the young woman was murdered.
Examination of the body showed that the young woman was choked to death with a piece of wire clothesline. The wire was imbedded in the flesh of her neck and was at first thought to be her watch chain, as her gold watch was attached to the end of it. William Wendler, a brother, says Anna had a watch and that she would not have been wearing a wire for that purpose.
The state will offer a $300 reward for the capture and conviction of the murderer and an equal or larger sum will be offered by Wendler. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that Miss Wendler, who was 30 years old, came to her death at the hands of persons unknown to the jury.
Coroner Amos declared that at least two men murdered the young woman. According to the coroner, and murderers met their victim near the Rising Creek bridge, where her effects were found, and, using a wire chain, strangled her into partial insensibility, otherwise maltreated her, and later made her walk three miles with them to the river, where she was thrown into the water, after having been killed.
The wormout stocking feet and torn clothing are used by the coroner to confirm his theory. The body was partly decomposed.

BUSINESS LIFE OF THE CHURCH
Reasons Why Laymen Should Be Given Active Part.
STRIKING EXAMPLES CITED
Ira T. Bryant's Successful Administration of the Affairs of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union Has Produced Beneficent Results—Credit Maintained and Debts of Predecessors Paid.
The day of large possibilities for the laymen in the church is near at hand, and it is more than fitting that they should take an active part in all of its great movements. For a long time, and in some of our churches today, there is nothing for the layman to do but pay his money. There are those who argue that the laymen should be given some part in the administration of church temporal affairs, and it is
12
no farfetched remark to suggest that perhaps the laymen, many of them, are much better business men and administrators than many ministers. The ability to preach a gospel sermon and visit the widows and orphans in their affliction does not by any means presuppose pre-eminent capability to manage great departments, and the sentiment is growing that many of the departments of church endeavor not altogether having to do with the salvation of souls or the superintendence of the religious phase of church work might be left in the bands of some of the many capable and intelligent laymen.
In this regard the policy of the African Methodist Episcopal church has been especially significant and far-reaching in the effect it shall directly have upon other Negro church organizations. Professor H. T. Keeling for some time has been the editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, without question the greatest publication of any kind among the Negro people. Professor John R. Hawkins, a well known Negro educator, looks after the general educational interests of the church.
The next great avenue opened to the laymen in church work will be that of its popularly business side, and in the Methodist organizations it may be a wholesome innovation, for in most cases the general offices, and particularly those dealing with the business side of church work, in which great financial reports can be easily made, catch the popular fancy, and if the general officer is successful in his administration may be regarded as a sure candidate for the episcopacy. It may then appear to be significant that the most beneficial results ever recorded at and reported from the African Methodist Episcopal Sunday School union is afforded in the administration of the affairs of that concern by a layman, a young man, the present secretary, Ira T. Bryant of Nashville Tenn.
His election was a surprise notwithstanding the fact that for several years he had been making the fight on a pronounced program which called for "no subsidy" of a peculiar business concern that should by all means be able to care for itself. His election on this well known platform puts it up to him, of course, to make good or to make better even than any of his predecessors did with the subsidy afforded in the collection of children's day money, all of which formerly went to this department.
Ira Bryant has more than made good, for he has not only maintained the credit of the concern, but has paid up all debts left there by his predecessor, has done much remodeling and installed much new machinery and in the two years that he has been secretary nearly equated the record made by his immediate predecessor in any three years of his administration. Now, if the great A. M. E. church would concentrate its publishing interests and give to Ira Bryant the opportunity to show that the A. M. E. church can run a paying publishing concern it is "dollars to doughnuts" that he will do it. He's a great fellow, and his success at Nashville, coupled with the preeminent influence of the work of Keating and Hawkins, will eventually open to the laymen that regard and consideration to which they are most assuredly entitled.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS
Conference of Negro College Presidents Gives Valuable Information.
At the fifteenth annual conference of Negro college presidents recently held in Atlanta, Ga., it was found that there were in the United States 3,015 Negro graduates from institutions of higher learning. Some of the leading institutions of learning which have graduated Negro students are Harvard 36, Yale 22, Oberlin 150, Cornell 11, Brown 14 and Berca 35.
Among the institutions represented at the conference were Howard, Fisk, Lincoln, Wilberforce, Claflin, Walden, Talladega and Virginia Union. Boards represented were the Slater fund, the Jeanes fund and most of the church educational societies.
The above is highly encouraging to the great host of young men and women of our race who are making most all kinds of sacrifices in order to get a collegiate education. We need doctors, lawyers, teachers and preachers of trained minds to look after the needs of our people along the line of their professions. The attitude of the conference gives inspiration.
MISCEGENATION ABROAD EXCITES NO COMMENT.
Instances Not Rare In Paris—Earl of Coventry's Daughter Weds Prince Dhuleep Singh.
In the discussion of intermarriage between the races, which received so much attention during and just after the recent second annual conference on the status of the American Negro, held in New York, the various speakers confined themselves principally to the subject as it exists in the United States.
Discussing the matter as found to exist in some foreign countries, the Boston Guardian says:
In Paris marriages between white women and Negroes have been so common as to exude no comment. As is well known, many prominent South Americans are Negroes.
In Paris they form a most conspicuous element and move in the most aristocratic society. Prominent among them are Guzman Blanco, Manuel Yrarte, Miguel Campos and Antonio Anchez. Other Negroes with white wives are natives of French colonies.
An event that aroused widespread interest was the marriage of Prince Dhuleep Singh and Lady Anne Coventry. The bridegroom was a very dark brown colored man and the bride a handsome, fair haired English girl. She is a daughter of the Earl of Coventry, whose eldest son. Viscount Deerhurst, married Miss Virginia Bonynge, an American.
AFRO-AMERICAN HONORED AT BOWDOIN COLLEGE.
Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity Electa Samuel H. Dreear to Membership at Annual Meeting.
At the annual meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity of Bowdoll college, Brunswick, Me., Samuel H. Dreear of Washington was elected to membership. Mr. Dreear is the first Afro-American upon whom this honor has been bestowed.
Mr. Dreear finished the four years course in three years. His average is said to be very high. Other new members elected were: Summer Edwards, Bethel; Frank C. Evans, Canden; Alton S. Pope, Manchester; Winston B. Stephens, New Bedford, class 1010; Ernest G. Fifield, Conway, N. H.; Chester E. Kellogg, Melrose, Mass; Edward E. Kera, Woodford, and Edward W. Skelton, West Brooksville, of the class of 1011.
The following officers were elected: President, James McKeen, '64, New York; vice president, General Thomas H. Hubbard, '57, New York; secretary and treasurer, Professor George T. Files, '80, Brunswick.
STEPPING UP TO THE FRONT.
Optimistic View of Race Progress as Seen by Editor 'King.
More and more as the days go by the colored man is turning to himself as his own savior, says Editor W. E. King in the Dallas (Tex.) Express. In the matter of intelligence and economy the advancement of the man and brother is most marked. Everywhere the broken dialect of the man of African descent is giving way and a language fairly intelligible is coming to take its place.
The squaler, rags and poverty coupled with insanitary conditions everywhere noticeable a few years ago in the abode of the American black man are disappearing, making room for more healthful and hopeful surroundings. Taking it all in all, we are justified in the conclusion that the colored brother is stepping up, to the end that as a citizen he may make good.
Negroes Leaving Republican Party. Under the caption, "Negroes Plopping," the Dallas (Tex.) says:
There is one humorous feature in the coming campaign in Tennessee. The Negroes, such of them as will get a chance to vote at all under the ballot restrictions of the state, will vote with the Patterson Democrats. They have forsaken their old party allegiance. "There will not be a hundred Negroes in Tennessee who will vote the Republican ticket this fall," said a prominent Tennessee candid recently. "We have lost all our Negroes from the party just as we lost them from the farms after the emancipation."
INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM-
MENTS FOR JULY 10.
Brief Review of the Lessons For the
Second Quarter of the Year—
The Principal Facts.
GOLDEN TEXT.—"The words that
I speak unto you, they are spirit and
they are life." John 6:63.
A review should aim to gather up
the principal facts and central truths
of the lessons and put them together.
The passages studied, texts and Gold-
en Texts, will be found in preceding
issues and need not be repeated here.
The principal facts of Lesson I. are the display of Jesus' power in the raising of Jairus' daughter and healing of the woman who had an issue of blood. The great central truth is that Jesus is a Divine Saviour, and that there is nothing too hard for Him.
The principal fact of Lesson II. is that Jesus imparted the power that He Himself possessed to twelve others and sent them forth to carry on His work. The great central truth is that Jesus is divine.
The principal fact of Lesson III. is that John the Baptist, though he had had a clear vision of Jesus as the Christ at an earlier date, fell into doubt, and Jesus gently dealt with his doubt and dispelled it. The great central truth is that Jesus is conclusively proven to be the Messiah by doing the work of the Messiah.
The principal fact of Lesson IV. is that Jesus rebuked the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not. The great central truth is that guilt is measured by opportunity, and the greater the opportunity rejected, the greater will be our condemnation.
The principal fact of Lesson V. is that Jesus refused to be bound by Pharisaic traditions and kept the Sabbath according to its divine idea, and not according to man's prescriptions. The great central truth is that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.
The principal fact of Lesson VI. is that wine makes a fool of every one who drinks it. The great central truth is that wine and all alcoholic liquors should be left absolutely alone.
The principal fact of Lesson VII. is that the Pharisees in their determination not to obey the truth did not hesitate to attribute the works of Jesus, which were performed by the Spirit of God, to the devil. The great central truth is that there is forgiveness for every sin but one, but that the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness.
The principal fact of Lesson VIII. is that Herod put to death John the Baptist, the faithful prophet of God, to gratify a wicked woman's hatred. The great central truth is the awfulness of sin. The principal fact of Lesson IX. is that Jesus multiplied seven Ibaves and a few small fishes until they became sufficient to feed 4000 men, besides women and children. The great central truth is that "truly this is the Son of God."
The principal fact of Lesson X is that Jesus walked upon the sea to reach and cheer and help His distressed disciples. The great central truth is that Jesus is the Son of God. The principal fact of Lesson XI. is that Jesus in response to the cry and persistent faith of a heathen woman, had mercy on and healed her daughter. The great central truth is that persistent faith can get anything from the Lord.
The great central truth of Lesson XII. is "Take heed how ye hear the word of God."
The great central truth of Lesson XIII. is that in the outward manifestation of the kingdom at the present time are both tares and wheat, which will grow together until the harvest, but at the time of the harvest there will be an eternal separation.
The great central truth of Lesson I. of the third quarter is that the kingdom of heaven and the Christ, in whom it centres, are-worth more than all earthly treasures.
Three Gains of Being Strong.
Courage. Nobody who has gone to Christ for strength ever loses heart. For He says, "My Lord believed in men and their salvation; why should not I? My Lord did not despair of the world; why should I? My Lord never ran away from duty because it might be unpleasant, or hard, or dangerous; I will stand with my Lord!" Consistency. It is easy to look like a Christian, in one particular or another, but somewhere the surface-Christian will betray himself. The true disciple is fallible enough, but he is saved from shame by his sincerity. The imitation disciple drops his disgulse when he least suspects that the mask is off.
Success. The Christ-strengthened man is on the winning side. No weapon can prosper against him. He has the secret of conquest. He has a first lion on the future. He inspires others. His unconquerable persistence keeps the Church and all good movements going forward. Once and again he may be beaten back for a moment, but he and his kind are the saving element that will yet, bring the world to God. They are God's best pledge to humanity that the forces of evil are surely going down to defeat.
Getting Even Does Not Pay.
Do not waste any time trying to "get even" with some one who has wronged you. It is impossible to employ a single hour to worse advantage. Someone has truly said that "getting even" is an idea of revenge found only in the philosophy of fools. Truer words were never uttered. This idea that because someone else has stooped to a low, contemptible act, you must, too, is not worthy of a moment's consideration by high-minded men and women. Do not allow what someone else has done to put you out of harmony with your best self. "Getting even" hurts you a hundred times more than it hurts, as else.—Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.

JOHNSON-JEFFRIES FIGHT.
“The Johnson-Jefiries fight is over
For more thao a year the world bad
been putting on tension in anticipa:
tion of what the newspapers are
now pleased to term, the “Last
Great Prize Fight” So that when
the two great fighters left theit
corners and faced each other in the
open arena, the world stood spell:
‘bound, with an cager anxiousness
ever occasioned before by any event
ia the sporting world. The prime
reason for this anxiety was the uv
wise accentuation of the racial feat:
use of thefight. ‘The world was
‘made to feel that it was the white
‘man against the black mao, and
that in order tcjshow the superiority
of the Saxon brain and braun over
Negro. brain. and braun, |efferies
manst wiv. He was publ:shed up as
‘the hope of the white race, and as
their representative must show bis
superiority over the Negro. _ All of
this was unwise and damaging to
the great science of self-defense, and
the exciting sport of boxing. This
emphasing of the racial element in
the contest, prepared the way for
the troble which has arisen through-
out the country, as we had expected
and the newspapers, these public
edtcators, are responsible for it.
Those whe had the charge of the
encounter, say it was a fair geht,
and that Johnson won a clean vie
tory, ina rhoroughly scientific way.
‘Che British dispatches co Europe af-
ter the battle of San Juan Hill, de-
clared that the Negro fwas the best
soldier that ever swung a sabre or
leveled a musket om a foe. Yet this
same Negro is a friend of the white
man and mingled bis blood in every
war waged ia defense ‘of the Stars
and Stripes. ‘he white men of
America ought to feel proud of the
fact that here in the bosom of this
American civilization, whose coun-
try is just getting into tke arena of
world powers, there is a soldier cle-
ment, the best in the world, aod
that should the testing time come
when the war dogs of the nations
shall break their chains, there can be
found more than a million Negroes
who will stand shoulder to shoulder
with his brother iu white to defend
the hougr of his country. We trust.
that the’world will soon forget the.
racial element aad look upon the
fight as it has done hitherto, only.

endurance of two great men, physi-

TOUR WITH MR.
WASHINGTON
So Early In The Morn.
Ing--Wants Dr. Washing:
ton To Tour Maryland.
| Whenever Teddy makes up his
mind to do a thing he generally gets
at it and never rests until it is done.
Hearing that Dr. Booker T. Wash
ington was going to make a tour o!
ielaware and preach jthe gospel o
peace and good will bezween the
races of the Diamond State, he de:
termined if possible to go, and so li
came into the office a few days ago
and wanted to know whether we
lad received an juvitation or not.
Oa learning that'we had receive such
an invitation, want to know wheth-
ec it could be stretched to include
him. He was informed that it
could and so it came about that he
packed bis grip in short order and
sas ready.
When Teddy was inforined that
he would have to get up as carly
Sunday morning as five o'clock ia
order to get ready to catch a train
and would have to walk from his
Lhome to the train carrying his grip,
he came near balking, and wanted
to know why it was necessary to
get our in such an early hour on
Sunday morning. Now Teddy de-
lights to sleep late Sunday mornings
and is rarely ont of bed much before
church time, although be will get up
early and stay up late any day in
the week, but draws the line on
Sunday imoraings. However, we
were at the train on time and off for
Wilmingcon, where the guests who
were to accompany Dr, Washington
Were to assemble.
Arriving in Wilmington we went
at once to the palatial home of Dr.
S.G. Bibert, on Freneh street. When|
we arrived at the house Teddy.
wanted to know whether Dr: Elbert
wa a white doctor or not? When
informed that he was colored he
wanted to know where he came
from, how he made his money and a
dozen other question we cou.d not
answer.
Ringing the bell we were ushered
into the presence of Mrs. Elbert,
who invited us to make ourselves at
home.
Shortly after ‘Leddy was intro-
Guced to ,Dr. and Mrs. Francis, off
Wasbingtoa; Judge Terrill, of Wash-
ington, and ‘L. Thomas Fortune,
thenoted Negro journalist, ot New
York, and several other less_noted
individuals from New York, Wash-
ington, Bostoa acd Philadelphia, |
For the first time Teddy shook
hands with Booker T. Washington.
Now here is where Teddy concluded
that he was going to have a real
good time, for he had been longing
for sometime to shake Dr. Washing
ton’shand avd meet the great Ne
gro leader.
“He is nota bit stuck up,” sail
Teddy, “and acts differeat trom the
average Negro who gets somewhere.
No wonder he is is so popular the
country over." .
“Tdon't wonder he gets on the!
good side of so many people, white]
and black. Why he is just the real
ching, that’s what he is," and from
hat moment Teddy became a de-
rout follower ol the great Tuske-
yean."”
Not long alter this several auto-
nobiles drew up in tront of the
rouse, anu Teddy wanted to know)
what they were there for. When in-
ormcd that they were to convey the
Doctor and his party to the several
jlaces where he was to speak ca
sunday be simply grunted. But
vhen further informed that these|
yutos were lent by Senator Dupout},
nd several other ~other leading],
a
what they were there for. When in.
formed that they were to convey the
Doctor and his party to the several
places where he was to speak on
Sunday be simply grunted. But
when further informed that these
autos were lent by Senator Dupout
and several other - other leading
white men of JJclaware, he uttered a
Mong drawn-out whistle.
> Binally Teddy's name wa’, called
and he was pointed to a large tour-
ing ear, he scarcely kuew whether he
was in his right senscs or uot and
wanted to be pinched to be sure hé
was awake.
The cars were soon whirling
down the road at the rate of about
forty miles an hour. Said Teddy:
“If this thing keeps up like this I
shall go to Dr. Washington and ask
him fora job of being his private
secretary. I like this thing, it just
suits me, I could stand this right
along.”
We fivally arrived at New Castle,
and here Dr. Washington preached
hig first sermon. It was well re-
ceived by both white 27d colored.
There were some things Dr. Wash-
ington said that did not suit the
majority of either race, but there
'was ‘so much trath in it that they
“I thought he was only goiig: to
speak to colored people,” said’ ‘ted-
dy when he saw the large crowd of
white people who occupied the best
seats, some of whom were on the
platform with Dr. Washington dud
bis party. “It seems. that. there
areas many. white-people here as
there are colored, I wonder where
they all come from aud what iner-
est do they have in what Dr. Wash-
mgton says to the Negroes?”
When told that white folks waut to
hear him as bad as colored folks do,
he was astonished.
“I thought we were only going
to see colored folks,” said Teddy,
“but there seems to be as much de
sire on the pact of the white folks
as on the coiored, if not a -little
more." Aud what was true of
New Castle was true at Newark,
Georgetown, and all the other
places where Dr. Washington
spoke.
“Law awfully hungry,” said
Teddy on his way back to Wilm-
inggtoo from Newark, “aad 1
would like tv have something to
eat. Lhis getting a lellow out of
bed at such an unearthly hour and
make him cat bis breaklast belore
suu up, is noe what it 1s eracked up
to be. 1 aim going to buat up some.
thing as soon as 1 get back.” Bur
Teday did not have to go very tar,
for an attemptmy array of food |
Jas to be found in Dr. Elbert's
dining room,
“Say, what do you tbiuk ol this? "|
was Teddy's exclamation, whea |
with the rest of the party he ae |
ushered on the stage of the Opera’
House and saw the place packed
from pit to dome, with white and
black; mingled together. Ic was a,
fine audience, and the Doctor's ad.
dress was applauded again and
again. When Sovernor rennewell,
arose to address the audience and j
welcome Dr. Washington and his!
party, Teddy said: “Well I be blow-
ed.” ‘Pbis 1s about as far as Teddy
generally gets when he wishes to
express is astonishment. “When
a Governor of a State comes to wel-|
come « colored man that colored
mao must be some pumpkins, that's
all I bave to say." .
Wheo Yeddy was told afrer the
meeting that he would have to go
home and get into a tull dress suit
and attend a reception at Dr. El-
bert’s iu honor of Dr. Washington,
be demurred, "Anybody who gets
into a full dress suit on_a hot Sua-
day evening is a dunce," he said, but }
nevertheless he got into ove and!
rook it all in.
“Six o'clock comorrow morning”
was the parting injunction of the
host, aud ‘Teddy said: “Wout? Got
to get up beture Suarise again. 1 am
not used to it and 1 do not kaow
what will happew to me if | keep up
this sort of a thivg much longer.
Next thing L know I will be getting |
up about the time J will be going vo,
bed."” . |
The tour, commencing at George-
town fardown on the peninsular |
coming up through Miltord, Dover, _
Clayton and Middletown, was a |
perfect ovation from beginning to |

has been thie seene of many an historic
incident. Gavin Douglass the poet,
‘waa its provost in James V's time, and
John Knox its minister in the days of
Queen Mary. Here Jennie Geddes
threw her stool at the head of the Dean
as he started to read the English litur-
gy... And here the great ‘Montrose, hero
of the Civil War, lies buried. with the
Regent Moray, shot at Linlithgow.
Tt took several visits to see all this,
and 1 must now turn my attention to
the big missionary conference whieh 1
am here to attend. I do not remem-
ber whether I told you in my last letter
that I waited at the station to meet
several of the other people who came
in, In the party was the Kev. S. W.
Bacote.
Well in the evening they went to at
tend a big reception. I did not have an
invitation to go, so 1 had to stand out-
side and look ut the others go.
Tn company with Prof. K. B. Hudson,
and the Key, Dr. J. Il. Eason, and Dr.
S. W. Bacote. we went down to the
city to see some of the sights, and
then we returned to our rooms After
which I went to visit some of the news
paperinen. It was hard to reach them
but I'svon found the editor of the Scoth-
man, who shook hands with me and in-
yited me to attend a luncheon the fol-
lowing day at 1 o'clock to the press.
/Weil the next. morning my invitation
came 2lso an invitation or card to at
tenet both of the meetings.
|< ‘To my surprise when 1 got there L
| found Charles Stewart there, sitting up
| with all them other newspaper men. He
seemed to be at home. and it made me
feel good because he belongs to my
race and the only one there.
“After lunch, several talks were made
euch man telling something about the
press arrangements, ‘The address of
jeach foreign newspaper man was taken
Iso that literature could be. maited him
outlining the work for the next day.
| "Soon the convention hall opened and
the people poured in. 1 was much in-
| terested, because I wanted to see some
lof my people. At the press table right
|in front of the speakers were the press
seats and among all them white, men
|zhere twas one butone black face. ‘i hen
lin the hall could be seen but few of us.

According to statistics, there are in
the whole world 9,600,000 tele-
phones, and the lines have an aggre-
gate length of about 12,000,000
miles. There are 1,800,000 tele-
phones in Europe, 56,000 in Asia,
9000 in Africa, 7,700,000 in America
(of which 7,590,000 are in the United
States), and 63,000 in Australia.
Denmark is the European country
with the largest number of telephones
to the number of inhabitants—viz.,
33.2 to the thousand—Denmark hav-
ing ousted Sweden from that position,
the figure for Sweden being 31.8 to
the thousan¢ inhabitants. , Still, all
things considered—the long distances
and ‘the often difficult country—«
Sweden must be safd to hold the pre-
miler position, in Europe at least, and
Stockholm’ 1s first o2 all the world’s
cities as regards the namber of tele-
phones to the number of inhabitants,

Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner in Washington deplored the world's excessive armaments.
"All these billions wasted on battleships," he said, "are declared to do good in providing work, in creating prosperity. That is a shallow and false optimism.
"That, in fact, reminds me of the man who said, when his wages were cut down:
"Well, there is one comfort. When I'm laid up sick I wont lose as much money as I used to do."—Detroit Free Press.

Moral Influence Of Woman.
Is it true, as the Rev. Dr. Butler said to the graduating class of Milwaukee Downer College that "the American community today looks more to its intelligent women than to its men for its standard of morals and of living?" The probability is that it is not quite true—that Dr. Butler exaggerated for the sake of emphasis. It is well that the sense of moral responsibility should be developed in every individual to the highest degree and kept alert against the temptations that constantly beset.
The present age, it is safe to say, looks to woman not less than to man for its moral standards, and looks with the confident expectation that they will be high. Boys as well as girls receive their first moral instructions at their mother's home. A wife often influences a husband in the moral crisis of his life. But men also possess great influence in setting moral standards.
Undoubtedly the moral influence of woman, is well as her social influence in general, is enhanced by her education. Undoubtedly the woman qualified to be the intellectual companion of educated men is a more powerful influence for good than her mentally less developed sister. With consequently increasing facilities for the education of women as well as of men, the world ought to be better from a moral standpoint than ever before. - Milwaukee Wisconsin.

TO BATTLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
National Political League Issues Call For Annual Meeting.
LAW STRONGER THAN CUSTOM
Crusade of Race Hate and Color Prejudice Most Harmful and Portentous of Inhuman Acts—Train of Evils Let Loose Upon Colored Americans, Taft Aids Nullifiers.
The following call has been issued by the National Political league, which has members and branches in thirty states:
To Colored Americans and Their Fellow Countrymen. Greetings:
By vote of the executive committee and by order of the president this call of the National Independent (formerly Negro American) Political league is issued for the third annual meeting at Atlantic City, N. J., August 4 and 5, 1910.
This national convention of colored citizens is called under somewhat grave conditions touching the object of this organization, the supreme aim of which is to maintain and secure for all colored Americans the same rights and privileges of citizenship as are enjoyed by the other citizens of these United States of America. In the southern states 95 per cent of the 9,000,000 colored citizens of the United States are deprived of the exercise of the ballot, the fundamental right under our system of government, without which there is for citizens neither protection nor freedom. This rage of the ballot is consummated in plain violation of the national constitution which forbids denial of the right to vote because of race or color. The executive head of the federal government within sixteen months officially admitted this disfranchisement in inaugural address and pallied the violation of the federal constitution instead of declaring his purpose to enforce the law in obedience to the oath he had just solemnly taken. President William H. Taft even intimated the legality of those devices for nullifying the fifteenth amendment by state laws which are as much worse than fraudulent practices as law is stronger than custom. The legislative branch of the federal government, specifically clothed with power to enforce the suffrage articles of the constitution, has viewed with apathy and inaction their diagrant violation save when actively condoning it by seating congressmen elected under the violation as against contestants entitled to seats if the federal law had been obeyed in their districts in the south. The judicial branch has dodged the issue in all cases brought involving southern disfranchisement laws, thus by persistent refusal of relief strengthening the nullification and embodying the unifiers of the supreme law of the land.
Run what train of evils were let loose upon colored Americans with disfranchisement. In the southern states unequal and oppressive laws have destroyed all their civil rights, excluding them from public places of business, of accommodation or resort, even public parks and public libraries, barring from state, quass-public and the public schools, forcing them into separate and inferior schools, fastening upon them the public ignorance and caste stigma of segregation in public travel, casting them even into ponage. They are under the tyranny of taxation without representation. Left in that hapless and belpless condition of citizens without voice as to lawmaker, law enforcer or law interpreter, they are not only the victims of injustice in the courts, but, denied all trial by court or jury, are the prey of the fendish white mob, until now the almost daily lynching of human beings has disgraced our country before the civilized world.
Most harmful and portentous of all in this crusade of race hate and color prejudice is the action, under the present administration, of the federal government itself. For the first time in the United States a president has officially proclaimed color a political disability. By his declaration that he would not appoint colored citizens to office where white citizens objected he completed southern disfranchisement. It is colored soldiers who are the victims when for the first time a battalion is discharged wholesale and without trial because of an alleged affray with civilians, and the new departure, aggravated by the failure to establish individual guilt after trial, is boldly continued. That unique degradation of free citizens, segregation by color in public carriers, has been sanctioned and nationalized.
Unless one-eighth of the citizens of the United States are to be reduced to political serfdom, unless our republic is to abandon democracy for the caste of color, this present trend must be resolutely opposed.
Colored Americans, rally to your own defense! From every town and city send delegates to this annual meeting, there to deliberate and organize for self protection against this menace. And let all true patriots of whatever race, all friends of liberty, battle with us for equality of citizenship, for true democracy, that this may be in very truth the house of the brave and the land of the free. By order of the president, Alexander Watters: William Monroe Trotter, corresponding secretary, 1910, 21 Cornell, Boston.
ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN CLERKS
Organization In Philadelphia Fills Long Felt Need.
SELE DEVELOPMENT ITS AIM
Ambitious Young Colored Women Unite to Raise Standard of Efficiency Among Members of Their Profession. Business Clerks' Association Closes With Spicy Literary Program and Social Features.
The colored business clerks of Philadelphia held their closing exercises for the summer on June 15 at their headquarters. 420 South Eleventh street. Notwithstanding that the closing was more of a social nature, the guests witnessed a very excellent program. Brief addresses were made by Miss Emily L. Graham, ex-principal of the Commercial High School for Girls, and Miss Elizabeth Dunbar, teacher of English.
The occasion was greatly enlivened by Miss Florence Williams, a teacher in one of the public schools and one

of Philadelphia's most popular elocutionists, who recited several selections Covers were laid for forty guests. Among them were some of the city's most exclusive social set.
The Colored Business Clerks' association has filled a long felt need among colored clerks in Philadelphia. Classes in English, stenography, typewriting and bookkeeping were conducted last winter. These classes have meant much toward making their members more efficient, accurate and reliable.
The organization has at times been addressed by some leading colored men and women, such as Bishop J. S Caldwell. Miss Irena L. Moorman of Brooklyn, Rev. W. G. Parks, Professor R. R. Wright, Jr., and E. J Waring.
The association was formed in March, 1803, through the persistent efforts of Mrs. J. S. Jackson, Miss Harriet E. Norris, Miss Cora E. Brown and a few others.
The officers are as follows: President, Miss Harriet E. Norris; first vice president, Miss Helena E. Primus; second vice president, Miss M. R. Marben; third vice president, Miss E. L. Brooks; recording secretary, Miss Cora E. Brown; corresponding secretary, Miss Jeanneette E. Turnier; treasurer, Mrs. Era L. Johnson; historian, Miss Edna B. Fields.
The object of the organization is better set forth in the words of its presi-

dent, Miss H. S. Norris, as follows: "When, on March 19, 1899, forty young indies, constituting the majority of women stenographers, typewriters and bookkeepers of Philadelphia, met and decided to unite for a more perfect development of the work in which they are engaged they set in motion a wave of enthusiasm that is destined to raise the standard of efficiency among them. "The aim is improvement and self development. Realizing that no best gifts can come to them without preparation on their part, these young indies have set to work with a determination to improve every gift and cultivate every grace that will aid in the accomplishment of the aim of the association."
The mineral wealth of the South has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, iron and copper mines await the fortunate man or men who discover their true location.
A wonderful instrument called the Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular minesal sought for. Lost end buried treasures of money, gold and silver, are located. Successful miners and prospectors use these needles, but in the past they have been difficult to obtain. We understand, however, that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa., handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be glod to correspond with anyone interested in the subject. They issue a large catalogue which will be mailed free to anyone writing them. Address P. & M. Agency, 128 2nd St. Palmyra, Pa.
MR. ROOSEVELT'S ESCAPE.
In Scribner's Magazine ex-President Roosevelt, continuing his series on "African Game Trails," tells of "Erephant Hunting on Mount Kenla." The African elephant has never been trained as the Indian elephant, therefore neither the natives nor the hunters have the kind of intimacy and knowledge which domestication gives, moreover, hunting in the forest is surrounded with danger and excitement, which Mr. Roosevelt has graphically portrayed in this article. The ex-President writes:
"No other animal, not the lion himself, is so constant a theme of talk and a subject of such unflagging interest round the camp fires of African hunters and in the native villages of the African wilderness as the elephant. Indeed, the elephant has always profoundly impressed the imagination of mankind. It is, not only to hunters, but to naturalists, and to all people who possess any curiosity about wild creatures and the wild life of nature, the most interesting of all animals. Its huge bulk, its singular form, the value of its ivory, its great intelligence—in which it is matched, if at all, only by the highest apes, and possibly by one or two of the highest carnivores—and its varied habits, all combine to give it an interest such as attaches to no other living creature below the rank of man. In line of descent and in physical formation it stands by itself, wholly apart from all the other great land beasts, and differing from them even more widely than they differ from one another. The two existing species—the African, which is the larger and finer animal, and the Asiatic—differ from one another as much as they do from the mammoth and similar extinct forms which were the contemporaries of early man in Europe and North America. The carvings of our palaeolithic forefathers, etched on bone by cavern dwellers, from whom we are surrendered by ages which stretch into an immemorial past, show that in their lives the hairy elephant of the north played the same part that his remote collateral descendant now plays in the lives of the savages who dwell under a vertical sun beside the tepid waters of the Nile and the Congo."
That Mr. Roosevelt had a narrow escape from death while after his big quarry is shown in his account of a flank attack by a companion of an elephant he had brought down. He says:
"At last we came in sight of the mighty game. The trail took a twist to one side, and there, thirty yards in front of us, we made out part of the gray and massive head of an elephant resting his tusks on the branches of a young tree — elephants hardly ever feed at noon. A couple of minutes passed before, by cautious scrutiny, we were able to tell whether the animal we could see was a cow or a bull, and whether, if a bull, it carried heavy enough horns. Then we saw that it was a big bull with good ivory. It turned its head in my direction and I saw its eye; and I fired a little to one side of the eye at a spot which I thought would lead to the brain. I struck exactly where I aimed, but the head of an elephant is enormous and the brain small, and the bullet missed it. However, the shock momentarily stunned the beast. He stumbled forward, half falling, and as he recovered I fired with the second barrel, again aiming for the brain. This time the bullet sped true, and as I lowered the rifle from my shoulder I saw the great lord of the forest come crashing to the ground.
"But at that very instant, before there was a moment's time in which to reload, the thick bushes parted immediately on my left front and through them surged the vast bulk of a charging bull elephant, the matted mass of tough creepers snapping like packthread before his rush. He was so close that he could have touched me with his trunk. I leaped to one side and dodged behind a tree trunk, opening the rifle, throwing out the empty shells and slipping in two cartridges. Meanwhile Cuninghame fired right and left, at the same time throwing himself into the bushes on the other side. Both his bullets went home and the bull stopped short in his charge, wheeled and immediately disappeared in the thick cover. We ran forward, but the forest had closed over his wake. We heard him trumpet shrilly, and then all sounds ceased."

MASON—In loving remembrance of my dear father Samuel, who died on July 5th, 1910.
Gone but not forgotten.
Rest, dear father, thy work is o'er, Thy widling hands will toil no more; A faithful father, both true and kind A truer father I could not find.
GRESHAM—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear little son James, who fell asleep in the arms of Jesus five years ago, July 10th, 1905.
Hour by hour we saw him fade And fast he sank away;
Yet in our hearts we prayed That he might longer stay.
We were weeping around his pillow For we knew that he must die;
It was night within our bosom. It was night within the sky.
By his parents, sister and brother.
ROBERTS—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear beloved husband Joseph, who departed this life five years ago July 7th, 1905 in full triumph of faith.
Gone but not forgotten.
O dear husband, I loved you so,
How sad it was to part.
One dear thought of your sweet face
Would cause the tears to start.
Sleep on dear husband. sweetly rest
I needed you but God knew best.
God's will be done, He doeth well,
But how I miss you, no tongue can
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
By his step-daughter,
Annie Johnson-Jolly.

Resolutions of Condolence.
Gone but not forgotten.
Resolutions of condolence on the death of Charles D. Douglas by the bellmen of Hotel Caswell:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God in his wise judgment to take from our midst our beloved friend and fellow workman, Charles D. Douglas, we deem it but just that some recognition be given his many virtues; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Charles D. Douglas, we have lost a friend and worker who was conscientious and faithful in performing his duty. He was always at his post and prompt to perform every duty reposed in him. His heart knew nothing of smallness but like a broad expansive ocean, reached every shore of human benevolence. He was a man that never showed his anger, but love for his friends. He was liked by all who met him for his kind ways and jovial manner. Charles came to us as bellman in Hotel Caswell on March 6th 1908, and remained in the service until his death. He was always found at his post until he was stricken on May 27th, 1910; on June 9th, he returned to work but was again forced to his bed and on June 25th, he stole quietly away. He has gone but never will be forgotten by us and as bellmen of this hotel we can but exclaim.
The battle's fought, the victory won
And thou art crowned at last.
Be it further
Resolved. That we extend to the
bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and commend them to the gracious care of Him who rings all bells and makes all calls that we must answer. May we all bow down and look to our Maker for comfort. We will at last meet where God has charge of the calling and we may also realize that,
Beyond this life of hope and fears
Beyond this world of grief and tears
There is a region fair;
It knows no change nor no decay,
No night but one unending day,
In bonds of love and mercy.
Mrs. M. E. Douglas extends her hearty thanks to her many friends for the kindness and sympathy shown in the sickness and death of her son. Also for the beautiful floral designs. Two beautiful floral designs were sent by the employere and one representing the vacant bench No. 12, from the bellmen.
