Dr. DuBois Lectures On The "History Of The Negro", Before The Durham Chataquua—Negro Ought To Consider It A Privilege To Assist In Solving The Negro Problem—The Majority Of The People Of The World Is Colored—The Black Man Helps The White Man. (Staff Correspondence.) Durham, N. C., July 26.—W. E. B. DuBois, director of sociological research, looking into the progress of the Negro, was the central figure in the last week's program of the National Religious Training School and Chataquua gluere. Dr. DuBois gave three lectures, the first on "The History of Education," and the other two on "The History of the Negro." His first lecture on "The History of the Negro," dealt with the record of Negroes in Egypt and in central and northern Africa, which brings his narrative to the beginning of the African slavery trade. riden his in. In his second address, Dr. DuBois stated that the Negroes of today should consider it a privilege to help in the solution of the Negro problem as one of the world's great movements and not as having to do with something indeleasant. He called attention to the fact that the majority of the people of the world were colored, and that a belief in humanity must necessarily be a belief in the colored man. In the course of his remarks, Dr. DuBois said: "Back of slavery and the slave trade, lay of course several excuses. The first excuse was that slavery gave an excuse for the conversion of the heaten. But what was to be done, when the converted slaves wanted to enter the Christian church? The old English law said that no Christian could be held a slave. That took the excuse for slavery away, but another was soon found. "Just as soon as one evil goes on unattested to, with the hope that it will settle itself, another one will rise up in its place. Problems like slavery that were four hundred years in the making, do not settle there. There came the attempt to establish a feudal system with rock and white serfs at the bottom. The rise of the cotton industry, spoiled that, and slavery in an economic basis, and consequently beyond the pale of criticism. "Then came certain hindrances. The history of the United States from the Missouri Compromise to the Civil war is the attempt of slave states to get more land for the cultivation of cotton and the extension of slavery. They were up against the proposition of more land. They ran against the moral consequence of the natural slave property because unsafe, because of the slave railway and this moral sense, for slaves could run away to the Northern States and to Canada. Finally slavery was overthrown. "Reconstruction with its subsequent criticism of the Negro resulted. I fear that too often, Negroes them selves yield to the criticism that is passed upon the giving of the ballot to them directly after the Civil War. It was absolutely necessary. It was not given to the ex-slaves because they thought they could use it properly; nor because it was thought they were qualified for its best and highest use. but I submit that the best way to train a man to use the ballot to him use it. The ballot was the only way to guarantee to the Negro his freedom. The fountain and fifteenth amendments were absolutely necessary to guard the enforcement of the thirteenth. Too many attempts were made directly after emancipation to again subject the Negroes to slavery in everything except the name "Moreover, the record of the Negroes in Southern Legislatures was constructed of Page 5."

NEW COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS TO GET COMMISSION WILL IN ALL PROBABILITY TAKE OVER THE OFFICE OFFICE THE LATTER PART OF MONTH Will Go Slow In Making Changes In His Office—Gossip Has It That Dr. Washington Was The Man Behind The Gun That Secured Him The Position—National Negro Press Association To Have Dinner—National Independent Political League Elects Delegates. Bureau of the AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGER. 1918 11th St. N. W. Washington, D. C., July 22—Whitefield McKinley, the well known real estate dealer, whose appointment as Collector of Customs last week surprised everybody, will receive his commission this week and will file his bond and enter at once upon the discharge of his duties. He is a competent business man and his quiet tactful methods bespeak for him a successful administration. Nothing is being said, as yet, touching the personnel of the Collector's office. If changes are to be made, Mr. McKinley will proceed in the matter with the greatest caution. Nobody is authentically advised as to the influences that led to the appointment of Mr. McKinley, but current gossip is attributing the selection largely to the recommendation of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who has been for years Mr. McKinley's close friend and well wisher. The position has not herefore been held by a colored man and the new departure is considered by the hopeful ones as a runner-up to one of the same sort at the hands of President Taft. The Washington delegation to the New York meeting of the National Negro Business League have chartered a special parrot car and will carry a party embracing from thirty to fifty persons. The to flowing speakers have b, be recommended to Secretary Scott as the representatives of the commercial leagues of the District of Columbia; J. A. Lankford, "The Negro as an Architect." Henry E. Baker, of the U. S. Patent Office, "The Negro in Inventions," and "A Cost System in Business." Former Recorder John C. Dancy, will deliver a special address on "The Power of the Press," before the public meeting of the National Neuro Press Association in New York on Tuesday evening August 16. The various committees on entertainment of the National Medical Association are hard at work. Almost nightly meetings are being held and gratifying reports are coming in to the chairman W. S. Lotton. Headquarters will be opened at Howard University. August 22. The National Independent Political League has elec'd the following delegates to their national convention at Atlantic City, August 4 and 5; Revs. S. L. Corrothers, J. Milton Waldron, J. Anderson Taylor, J. T. C. Newsome, J. L. Neill, W. T. Ferguson, N. B. Marshal, and W. A. Bowie. There are said to be branches of the League in thirty-six states. Bishop Alexander Walters is president of the national body and Rev. Waldron is national organizer. Rev. S. L. Corrothers is president of local branch and J. L. Neill, the secretary. The League held a big meeting Tuesday night at True Reformer's Hall and the speakers urged that Negro voters scan carefully the record of every man who aspired to a seat in Congress and see how he stands on the questions affecting the Negro. They say they are not democrats, but independents, with the right to kick when they are not treated right by the party in power. The opposition to the Baloosh property as the site of the new Colored Normal School has grown so bitter that the selection of a permanent location for the school has gone. The number of Negro population and easily accessible to both street can systems is what the people want. WATTY ELECTED GRAND CHANCELLOR FOR FOURTH TIME WATTY ELECTED GRAND CHANCELLOR FOR FOURTH TIME KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS OF MARYLAND HOLD THEIR TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION. One of the Most Successful Meetings In The History of Maryland—Rev. S. S. Jolley of Cambridge, Makes Forcefull Address — The Rules Suspended And George A. Watty Reelected By Acclamation — Supreme Representatives Elected. (Staff Correspondence.) Easton, Md., July 28—The twenty-first annual session of the Maryland Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, which has been in session here at Asbury Methodist Episcopal church for the past three days, came to a close yesterday afternoon, after one of the most successful sessions in its history. The prime feature of the whole session was the demonstration of approval and enthusiasm when on Wednesday afternoon the rules were suspended and Grand Chancellor George A. Watty, who has held that office for the past three years, was reelected by acclamation. Owing to the delay on Monday caused by the stranding of the Steamer Jane Moseley on a sand bar, which prevented the members from reaching here before late in the afternoon, the exercises and parade which had been planned on an elaborate scale had to be cancelled, and the only business on the first day was the conferring of the Grand Lodge degree upon seventy-nine applicants. That the stranding of the boat could have been prevented had the officials in charge of the boat secured the services of the colored pilot who had been sent out to meet them was the consensus of opinion of opinion among the nearly fifteen hundred disappointed excursionists. After the appointment of the committees and the report of the committee on credentials, the session took a recess and a public meeting was held at which an address of welcome was delivered by Major Stewart, representing the mayor of the city. The Major, who is a Confederate veteran, and a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, won the hearts of his hearers by the genuine warmth of his welcome and he was heartily applauded. The response was by Rev. Storer S. Jolley, pastor of Waugh M. E. Church, Cambridge, and it was full of sound advice. Rev Jolley said that the education of the mind could not be accomplished without a corresponding education of the hand, and advised his hearers to so train themselves that when an opportunity presented itself they would not only be in a position to grasp it, but also in a position to hold it. He urged the delegates foster the spirit of freemotion and to hold sacred the principals upon which the address was founded. At the close of his address, the speaker was warmly applauded. Grand Chancellor Watty presided and introduced the speakers. The report of Grand Chancellor Watty was on of the best that has ever been rendered. It showed the order to be in a highly prosperous and harmonious condition. Sir Watty said the order had much cause for congratulation in that the increased membership was being recruited from the young and healthy men of the race. He urged the members to take a larger interest in their lodges and to see to it that the best men available be selected as representatives to the grand lodge. At the close of the report Sir Watty received a flattering ovation. The reports from the Grand Officers and the various commissions occupied a large portion of the afternoon session. A portion of the per capita tax to twenty-five cents semi-annually, upon the suggestion of Mr. Mannadier St. Clair, of Cambridge, caused a heated discussion, but was finally passed. The report of Grand Keeper of Records and Seals Josiah Diggs, showed after the expenses had been paid a balance of over seven hundred dollars. The report also showed a large Continued on page 5.

[Staff Correspondence.] Easton, Md., July 27—The 13th annual session of the Grand Court of Calanthe, Knights of Pythias, which opened its sessions at Bethel A.M.E. church yesterday morning, came to a close this afternoon, when the election of officers took place. The reports of the grand officers charged with the administration of affairs during the past year had been in capable and deserving hands, and that the order was slowly but surely attaining the point of excel lence never before strained in this State.

"HELLO BILLS" GIVE EACH OTHER THE GLAD HAND THE TWO FACTIONS SETTLE ALL DIFFERENCES BE TWEEN THEM THEN KISS AND MAKE UP Champion Jack Johnson Does not Put In An Appearance—Much Disappointment In Consequence Thereof—Brother How ard Stays Away And His Absence Taken As An Indication That He Was Opposed To The Reunion—Baltimore Lodge gets The Banner And Honors. (Staff Correspondence) Washington, D. C., July 29.—With the dove of peace reigning, the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, held its eleventh annual session at True Reformers' Hall this week and cemented the differences which have resulted in the order having two Grand Lodges during the past four years. The reuniting was arranged at a joint conference held at Wilmington, Del., last January, and both Grand Lodges met jointly yesterday and formally ratified the action of the conference. J. Frank Wheaton, of New York, was the chairman of the committee, and Dr. W. T. Scott, of Newport News, Va., was the secretary. The treasurer, Ky. R. F. Howard, of Covington, Ky. the founder of the Order, was taken as an indication that he did not favor any union in which he would be left out as the guiding force, and, it is said, he will call a meeting of a few of his supporters, to be held in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion was looked for among the crowd of visiting "Hello Bills," but he was unable to leave New York, where he is giving daily sparring exhibitions. His personal counsel, J. F. Wheaton, stated to your correspondent that the champion was unable to come as he had just signed a contract to appear in music halls in London at $2,600 a week, with an extra $5,000 shown in 601- talkings in graph. People all along the route of the parade, which took place Tuesday, craned their necks vainly in order to get a glimpse of the absent topnotcher in pugilism. Monumental Lodge, of Baltimore had 30 men in line, and they were applauded all the way to the Capitol. They were attired in natty white serge suits, white shoes, purple ties, and white hats with purple bands. The Great Southern Temple, the Woman's Auxiliary in Baltimore, were in the parade. They rode in carriages. Monumental Lodge sent as delegates: Messrs. R. G. I. Brown, Geo. F. W. McMechen, Raymond Coates, Nelson Price and Samuel T. Hemsley. SIDELIGHTS ON THE CONVENTION. Union!

Mills ranks among Norfolk's leading physicians. Francis H. Warren, editor of the Detroit Informer, and T. G. Nutter, editor of the Mountain Leader, Charlestown, W. Va., were among the newspaper men present. The Morning Star and Columbia Lodges, both of this city, made fine hosts to the hundreds of visitors. Chairman Gaskins was easily the busiest man of the week. The Metropolitan Band, of Baltimore demonstrated that Baltimore bands know a thing or two. William Lewis, of Baltimore, was greeted on every hand as one of the founders of the Grand Lodge. Rev C. G. Cummings, G. H. Sidons, R. A. Elliott, J. W. Parker, E. V. Stokes and G. Gooden, the Midger Elk, were among the Baltimoreans here. For other Elk news see 6th Page. Peerless One Suffers First Defeat in His Own State. Bitter Fight In The Nebraska State Democratic Convention At Grand Island — Majority Of Seventy-One Is Registered Against Bryan In Adopting A Resolution Cutting Out Speechmaking — His Friends Term It Gag Rule—Others Say It Prevents Delay. Grand Island, Neb. (Special).—Amid a tumult of cheers from the former followers of William J. Bryan, Permanent Chairman Smyth, of the Democratic platform committee, read the result of a test vote of the gathering, practically taking from Mr. Bryan the Democratic leadership of Nebraska, which he has maintained for 20 years. The vote came on a motion by Congressman G. M. Hitchcock, a candidate for the Senatorial nomination, and in effect was to eliminate the introduction of platform: planks with accompanying speeches, unless submitted as a section of the majority or minority report of the committee on resolutions. Mr. Bryan, seated as a member of the Lancaster County delegation, was upon his feet at once with a protest and proffered an amendment that would modify that intent of the original motion. A dozen delegates made as many motions and heated speeches on the question, the Bryan adherents denouncing the Hitchcock motion as "gag rule," and their opponents asserting that "individual rule" must not prevail in the convention. Chairman Smyth ordered a roll call, on the amendment and the gathering was silent as the vote of the counties was called that would determine the strength of Mr. Bryan. When two-thirds had been called, foes of Mr. Bryan realized that he was defeated, and a wave of cheers that drowned the roll call began. As Chairman Smyth finally read the result, 465 against the amendment to 384 in favor of it, the delegates sounded a fresh volume of cheers that seemed to indicate their relief from the uncertainty that had existed as to the strength which Mr. Bryan might develop in the convention. The original motion of Mr. Hitchcock then was adopted. The convention came to order in a tent packed with perspiring delegates, and surrounded by throngs of spectators eager to hear the oratory battle that had been predicted. Instead of calling for the oratory the delegates began to speed up the action of the convention to a gait that promised to limit the contest to two by two and busy sessions. The temporary organization was made permanent and Chairman Smyth, after a brief speech, selected a committee of resolutions. Mr. Bryan was one of the first two of the committee of seven named. Congressman Hichcock then made his motion to restrict discussion. UNITED STATES INVITED. Germany Wants America To Be Represented At Exposition Washington, D. C.

D., of Hoboken, at the session of the New Jersey Dental Convention. "The manufacturing of the sugar of commerce." said Dr. Roessler. "shows plainly that it is nothing but concentrated crystallized acid, which is very dangerous to the general welfare." RACE PREJUDICE CHARACTER RACE WAR Matthew Adams World Governed by "Suggestion" By Dr. Forbes Winslow, Pioneer of Psycho-Therapeutics in England RAINED observation teaches us that the whole world is made up of one gigantic "suggestion." Some are more liable to it than others. It is in many instances an evidence of a strong mind to be able to resist its influence. T There is no such thing as "fashion." What is generally understood by that name is nothing more nor less than suggestion which many are unable to resist. The craze for the "Chantecler" hat for ladies is pure suggestion, and nothing else.

In politics it plays an important part, many a voter being actually hypnotized by the speaker to vote as he suggests. Every athletic contest is ruled by suggestion. If the captain of any great match, international or otherwise, shows that he is in any way apprehensive as to the result, the members of his team take the suggestion, and it is consequently apparent throughout the contest. In the Etablissement de Psychotherapie, founded by Dr. Berillon in Paris, which I have recently visited, complaints are treated which are supposed to yield to the influence of suggestion. At the clinique held there every possible infantile vice is effectually dealt with, and chronic drug takers and inebriates form a large class of those attending. Those suffering from what is termed "folie de doute," or want of confidence in themselves and want of control, are effectually cured. Suggestion, like medicine, requires careful dispensing. It is not every one who is blessed with the power of so acting on the mind of man as to reflect on the symptoms and alleviate the condition. Railroads and Panama Canal By Rear Admiral R. D. Evans HE Panama Canal will earn the returns, albeit perhaps indirectly, if it is given the chance. But it will not be given the chance if the transcontinental railroads can prevent. T The railroads always have been hostile to the canal and they may be hostile to it in the future. I believe their hostility is based on a narrow conception a short-sighted view, but reasonable or unreasonable, it is the fact. We are spending $400,000,000 digging out a canal which ought to reduce freight rates across our continent to a fraction of what they are now. The commercial justification of that expenditure will never be found in the impetus that will be given our foreign trade. It must be found of benefit to our domestic commerce. of what the will never be for must be found d For many y the transcontine speed and vastly out thought of t that via the Altar the possibilies force attention to stand is immens Edu For many years we have consented that the railroads should monopolize the transcontinental traffic which a canal would have carried at greater speed and vastly less cost. We have developed our continent thus far without thought of the possibilities of the greatest transcontinental trade route—that via the Atlantic, the canal, and the Pacific—and without consideration of the possibilities of our imperial system of rivers. The canal is going to force attention to these things, if only the country can be aroused to understand is immense potentialities—Hampton's Magazine.

BLACK HAWK "It is one of the most pathetic horse stories of the war," declared the colonel. Then, when the veterans of the blue pressed him, the old Confederate soldier closed his eyes and began to tell of the incident he referred to, which happened at the Battle of Shiloh. "General B. Bate, who died a United States Senator from Tennessee, was colonel of the Second Tennessee. He had two horses, one an ordinary horse which he used on the march and for other rough service, the other, Black Hawk, a thoroughbred, black as a crow and of great beauty and stamina. "The night before the battle the commoner horse was stolen, and the next morning at daylight I well remember what a superb picture our colonel made on Black Hawk, who looked fit to race for a kingdom. "The usual position of a colonel is thirty feet to the rear of his regiment, and it was in that position that Colonel Bate first went into the fight." "At the second stand—and I want to see no stubborn fight than we had down there amid the woods, round that little church on the banks of the Tennessee—the Federals gave it to us hot, and it was here our lines were nearly broken; it was here also that Colonel Bate had to put himself in front of his regiment before they would charge with enough determination to drive the boys in blue again. All this time the battle was raging everywhere. "Time and again Colonel Bate led us against Sherman's brave boys—that thoroughbred horse and rider always in front. Once he made us a short speech just before we had to charge again, having been repulsed at the first attempt. He said he wanted us only to follow him, that he would not take us where he would not go himself, and we believed him. "This last fight was terrible. Before we struck the enemy Colonel Bate was shot out of the saddle, the men dropped round us right and left, but we charged on, leaving all as they fell. "When Colonel Bate dropped, Black Hawk seemed to be at a loss what to do, but as the regiment swept on he quickly fell into his place just in the rear of the regiment and followed us on into battle. We must have fought on for a half-mile after that, and it was a strange sight to see that horse following the regiment as stately as if on dress parade, and it touched every man to see him riderless. "At the first opportunity an ambulance was sent back to find the colonel and take him to the field hospital, some three miles in the rear. In the confusion no one thought of Black Hawk, but he had not forgotten his brave rider, for he actually followed the path of those who carried the colonel to the hospital straight up to the hospital tent. Then, to the surprise of Colonel Bate, who had been badly but not fatally wounded in two places, one ball passing through his shoulder, Black Hawk poked his head in at the tent door and affectionately whinned to his master, who was then in the hands of the surgeon. "The next instant he turned, walked a few paces in the woods, staggered and fell down dead. "An examination showed what no one had noticed, that he had several bad wounds, one of which proved fatal. "As long as General Bate lived," concluded the colonel, "he used to say that he could still see the almost human look Black Hawk gave him as he turned away, with that last gentle A. H. Bouseman of Ridgeway Blown to Pieces. PETTY REVENGE MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME. A. H. Bousman Was Sleeping In A Hammock In Front Of His Residence When The Explosive Fell At His Feet—No Clue To Murderer—May Be A Lynching If The Guilty Person Is Captured. Ridgeway, Va. (Special).—Former Mayor A. H. Bousman was assassinated with a dynamite bomb which was thrown from the street into a hammock in which he was lying. He died an hour after the explosion. No clue to the identity of the murderer or the cause of the crime has been found. Mr. Bousman had been spending the hot evening sleeping in a hammock swung between two trees on the lawn in front of his residence. Without a word of warning, about 10 o'clock, the dynamite bomb was thrown by someone passing along the street. It landed in the hammock at his feet and in an instant exploded. The mayor's feet were torn away by the bursting shell, and his legs frightfully mutilated. In great agony he died an hour later. Although the town authorities when notified of the murder made every effort to discover the assassin, no clue could be found, and it is believed he escaped without being seen by any one. The news quickly spread about town and excitement grew to a high pitch. It is believed if the perpetrator of the assassination is caught he will be summarily dealt with. When Mayor of Ridgeway Mr. Bousman, presided over the notice court of the town, trying petty cases. It is thought that some person upon whom Bousman in his court had passed sentence of punishment held a grudge against him and had been awaiting an opportunity to wreak vengeance on him. This opportunity came when the mayor lay sleeping in the open air. The terrific report attracted many persons to the scene, but the excitement was so great that apparently no one thought to search for the assassin until he had made his escape undetected. The charge of dynamite in the bomb must have been a heavy one, because the body of Mr. Bousman was torn to pieces. As part of the fuse of the bomb was found on the roof of the Bousman residence, where it had been blown by the force of the explosion. On the sides of houses 60 feet away blood had been spattered and bits of flesh adhered to the walls. Bits of the body also were found on the roof of an adjoining house. The assassinated man was 56 years of age. He is survived by a wife and son, 12 years old, both of whom are prostrated by the murder. Mr. Bousman only recently retired from the office of mayor. He had been offered the nomination, but declined to accept the honor. He was extensively en-aged in farming and was a large grower of cabbage.

Organization Which Started Fourteen Years Ago In a Small Way Has Become Most Influential Body of Clubwomen of Our Race—Lifting as We Climb Their Motto. Perhaps no event in organized work among the women of our race, either secular or religious, within recent years has attracted such widespread interest as was manifested in the recent seventh biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs held for five days at Louisville, Ky. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Louisville City Federation of Clubs at the Colored Methodist Episcopal church. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., is the national president. The national association is the most influential gathering among colored women in the United States and has an enrollment of more than a thousand clubs. The membership is about 150,000. The association wields a great influence upon the moral uplift through the club and home life of the colored people in this country. A liberal proportion of the clubs belonging to the national were represented at this meeting. National meetings have been held since its organization fourteen years ago in such cities as Nashville, Chicago, Buffalo, St. Louis, Detroit and Brooklyn. At the preliminary mass meeting held at the Fifth Baptist church, Louisville, interesting speeches were made by Mesdames Booker T. Washington, Lucy Thurman, Eva Jenifer, Ida B. Wells Barnett, Ida Joyce Jackson, Mme. E. Azalia Hackley and others. The regular session opened with a meeting of the executive board presided over by Mrs. Ione E. Gibbs of Minnesota. The deliberations of the board for the most part were the consideration of the matter of membership to the executive committee. The welcome address on behalf of the city federation was made by Mrs. M. E. Steward, chairman of the social committee of arrangements. The biennial address by Miss Elizabeth E. Carter, national president, was highly interesting. A symposium on "Children" by Mrs. Ida Nugent Paley of Norfolk, Va., and "Playgrounds," by Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley of St. Louis, who is a member of the board of managers of the State Industrial Home For Negro Girls, were very interesting. "Mother's Responsibility In the Social Life of Her Child." by Miss Josephine E. Holmes of Wiley university; "The Mother's Responsibility In the Intemperance of Her Boys" and several excellent talks by delegates from various parts of the country brought an animated discussion. A most pleasing feature of the proceedings was the presentation to the national president by the Rev. C. H. Parish. D. D., pastor of Calvary Baptist church, Louisville, of a gavel brought from Bethlehem, in the Holy Land. At the sessions held in the city armory a symposium on "Health and Hygiene" was the principal feature of the program. Mme. E. Azalia Huckley, who is regarded as the leading concert singer of the race, gave several musical selections. There was a noticeable absence this year of several women high in the association councils who were prevented from attending by unavoidable causes, among whom were Mesdames Mary Church Terrell, B. K. Bruce, Hallie Q. Brown, J. S. Yates and Libbie C. Anthony. The election of officers resulted as follows: Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, president, New Bedford, Mass, re-elected; Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Ala., vice president; Mrs. M. E. Steward of Louisville, Ky., first recording secretary; Mrs. M. F. Pitts of St. Louis, Mo., second recording secretary; Mrs. Eva Loomis of Detroit, Mich., third recording secretary; Miss Ida R. Cummings of Baltimore, Md., corresponding secretary; Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson of Columbus, Ohio, treasurer; Mrs. Minnie B. Scott of Indianapolis, Ind., national organizer; Mrs. Catherine D. Tiedman of Pasadena, Cal., chairman ways and means committee; Miss Josephine E. Holmes of Wiley university, Marshall, Tex., auditor; Mrs. Mary V. Parish of Louisville, Ky., statistician. New Honor For Douglass Miller. There is only one colored baker in the city of Denver, says the Denver Statesman. He is Douglass Miller, and he is a member of the Bakers' union. To the gratification of his friends and to his own honor Mr. Miller was recently chosen treasurer of the union, winning out over opposition. It is a compliment to Mr. Miller to be so well esteemed. The Kind of Men the Country Needs. The country today is crying for men, not colored men, neither white, red nor yellow, but men that are able and competent, says the Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate. A man that can do anything is seldom hungry or loafing; and this holds good throughout the country. INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR JULY 31. Subject: A Lesson on Forgiveness, Matt. 18:21-35—Commit Verses 21, 22. GOLDEN TEXT.—"If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." Math. 6:14. TRIE.—Autumn, A. D. 29 Place.—Capernaum. EXPOSITION—I. Seeking Forgiveness for Self, 21-27. Peter's question is exceedingly important and practical. It is a question with which we are all confronted experimentally. We all have those whom we forgive, and scarcely have forgiven them before they offend again. How long shall they be permitted to keep this up? Peter suggested seven times as a possible outside limit. That is far higher than most of us go, but Jesus multiplied Peter's high figures by seventy, and said there is where you ought to go, "seventy times seven." Here we have the perfect number, multiplied by the number of completeness, multiplied again by the perfect number. In other words, never cease forgiving. Let your patience be inexhaustible and your forgiving love infinite. At the first glance it seems a hard saying, but as we continue to look at it, we see it as a most sweet and gentle saying; for if he bids us to do this to others, He certainly will Himself do it to us. The parable that follows emphasizes this gracious truth. I need, then, never fear again to go to Him, saying, "Forgive me," no matter how often or how seriously I have sinned. If my heart hesitates, I hear Him whispering, "Until seventy times seven" (Col. 3:13; Eg. 4:32; 5:1). Reckoning at talent roughly at $1200, the king's debtor was twelve million dollars in debt. And this is a picture of each of us. We are hopelessly in debt to God and we have nought to pay (Lu. 7:42; Ps. 130:3; Ez. 9:6; Ps. 40:12). It is not before an abstract law, but before a person, that we are guilty (Ps. 51:4). If we could only be brought to fully realize how great our unpaid debt is that is freely forgiven us, we would surely not find it hard to forgive others. The debtor was "brought" to the king. We as sinners do not come into God's presence of our own accord, the Spirit brings us there (Jno. 16:7-9). Verse 25 pictures God's dealings with us on the ground of law (Gal. 3:10). But it is only to bring us to sue for mercy and grace (Rom. 3:19-24; Gal. 3:22-24). The demand of just payment brought this debtor down upon his knees, and that is where the full demand of law brings each of us if we are wise. And yet this debtor fancied he could ultimately pay his debts if he only had time. This is true to human experience. When first awakened to a sense of our sins, we still fancy we can pay some time. We think we can atone for past sins by future good works. It is only after awhile that it fully dawns upon us that we can do nothing at all, that salvation must be not only partly but wholly of grace (Eph. 2:8, 9). In verse 27 we have God dealing in grace. Now it is all grace, just as it was before all law, "The Lord" does not extend the time of paying the debt, but fully remits it. God never mixes law and grace (Gal. 5:24; Gal. 2:10; Rom. 3:28; 11:6). The basis of grace is nothing in us, but something in God, His own "compassion." The condition upon which God deals in grace is in us, viz., that we acknowledge our hopeless indebtedness and sue for mercy (Leu. 18:13, 14; Rom. 10:12, 13). II. Refusing Forgiveness to Another, 28-35. The one who had been forgiven a twelve-million dollar debt went right out and tried to violently exact a debt of seventeen dollars from another. That seems incredible, but it is a scene enacted every day, and by some of the readers of these lines. God has forgiven you debts whose greatness defies computation, and you go out and exact the paltry debts your fellow-men owe you. How many are harboring grudges over some petty slight or offense! We should all meditate long and deeply over this parable. His debtor acted precisely toward him as he had acted towards his own creditor, but he remembered nothing and has no mercy. This is true to life. Others sue for mercy as we have made our suit to God, but we have no mercy for them. "Pay the debt" is our demand. The outcome is startling, "His Lord called him." If we will not listen to the cry of our debtors, then we shall hear the voice of our creditor. God freely offers forgiveness for all our $12,000,000 indebtedness, but if we truly accept it we will prove it by freely, forgiving others. If we do not forgive others it proves that we have despised the proffered mercy of God. We are now back on the law basis, and we shall be delivered to the tormentors till we pay "all that is due." That we can never do; so our torment will be everlasting. There is no mercy for the man who shows by refusing mercy to others, he has despised it for himself (Jas. 2:13). The only way to learn to be merciful is by believing in the mercy of God revealed in Christ toward us (1 Jno. 4:19, R. V.). Jesus points His own parable, there can be no mistaking its meaning (see verse 35). There is then no hope for many a professed Christian, unless they repent of their attitude towards some who have wronged them. The gate to hell here pointed out is a wide one, and many go in there. Jesus and the Day of Rest. 1. He has authority concerning it. The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. Since it is man's day, it is controlled by Him who is the head and representative of humanity. 2. He requires inward and real observance of the day, rather than mere outward and seeming obedience to its laws. 3. He gives man's need as the great reason for the day's observance. The Sabbath was made for man. 4. It is not merely a day of secular rest, but a day of spiritual activity. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Midsummer dullness is less pronounced in both wholesale and retail departments of trade, and as the leading markets are gradually relieved of some of the difficulties with which they have been beset—crop uncertainties, price inconsistencies and other disturbing elements—a broader demand develops. There is still much idle cotton machinery in New England, and a two-week shutdown is scheduled for August, but curtailment is forcing a recovery from the low price levels and there is less pressure to liquidate stocks. Some substantial business is reported in woolens, and, while the Eastern markets for wool continue quiet, primary markets in the West are active and higher. Footwear factories, East and West, are resuming, and trade is much improved in leather, while hides have recovered from the low point, large accumulations having been moved. More definite knowledge regarding the yield of cotton in the South and wheat in the West will determine the basis of manufacturing costs in dry goods on the one hand and flour on the other.

Others received very gen: crous applause, but when the name of the old veteran who stood for the rights of the Negro soldiers on tie flour of the United States Senate was mentioned, the convention simply got on its hind feet aud cheered and cheered again, Eyeu His Strenposity was not in it when it caine to wppianse. Itisa source of great gratifica- tion, that notwithstanding the brave Senatorstood for what1s now kuown as a lost,cause, lor any one who champions the cause of the Ne- gro in these days may be consider: ed championing a Jost cause, that the Ohio Republicans feel that be ts yeta man to be honored in the highest degree.

Vublished in Baltimore, Md., it is the exounent of the best Southern sentiments of the race; is original in matter, cop- sae. yet sane in expression; couragcous, yet sober and dignified in sentiment; news, though not fool- ishly sensational, it culls its news Irom highest sources and sends it forth coursing in clear wholesome streams bl:ssing its readers. The whole race must be hevefitred by such a dignified publication, Though its publishers ave nor known per- sonally to us, in token of our high appreciation of their effort we have make this onsobvited statement with the hope that it may cheer the Promoters un their way and eucour- age our people towards lending their financial and other appreciative as- sistance in the conunual preserva- tion uf such-a laudable enterprise. ~ The Voice of Missions, New York.

NEGRO DID SOME VERY GOOD THINGS ‘ IN THE SOUTH CO er ney Ee, not so bad. ‘Tre, they did some silly things, but they gave to the South ‘some things that still remain.” Tue firet system of free public schools was given by this so-called carpet big Tule, with large Negro majorities in ‘the legislatures. They cave the South its first democratic government, by opening the ballot to the Negroes and ‘the poor whites. Hitherto the gov- ernment in most of the Southern ‘States was one of aiistueracy. “To be sure much stealing was done in the legis-atures nnder Negro con- trol. Some is done now. Ab that time stealing was coing on all over the country, from St, J.ouis to Wasb- ington.

It tells the black man he has got to bave extra advantaves, and to the white man that they are not nec- essary. . "It seems to. me that the Negro ought to get very busy trying to roive all these problems. ‘There are entire~ ly too many people of darker hue in the world, for the problev: of different races living together in Reace and harmony to go tinsolved.

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse; as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1650 West-Huron St., Chicago, Ill.

Grand Lodge Convention In Washington Peaceful. BOTH FACTIONS SATISFIED. Consolidation of the Two Principal Divisions of the Order Witnessed by Thousands at Grand Lodge Session in Washington — Parade Led by Grand Marshal J. Clay Smith. Thousands of members of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and their friends are in attendance at the grand lodge convention, which began a four days' meeting in Washington on Tuesday, July 28. Benjamin L. Gaskin, the brilliant young attorney, is chairman of the local committee of arrangements. The other members of the committee are Thomas F. Harper, vice chairman; J. Clay Smith, secretary; R. E. Smooth, assistant secretary; Mpess H. Dade, treasurer; John T. Rhine, E. F. Janifer, Samuel E. Drew, Simon H. Brooks, William Freeman, F. G. Payne. J. H. H. GABEINS, SMITH AND DADE—OPPICRUS OF LOCAL COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. J. H. Anderson, Dr. H. J. Williams, Joseph D. Lawson, A. B. Rice, Jeremiah Rice and R. H. Johnson. Chairman Gaskins and his colleagues are being congratulated on every hand for the splendid manner in which they are, entertaining the visitors. The session is a notable one, as it marks the end of the differences which have kept the two factions of the order apart for several years. The harmonious state of affairs was amply attested from the fact that the two local lodges of the order. Morning Star and Columbia, had become reconciled before the convention met and are working as one with the joint local committee. The peace terms providing for the consolidation of the two grand lodges were agreed upon at a conference between representatives of both factions at Wilmington, Del., last January. The business sessions are being held at Tone Reformers' hall, and the fraternal spirit of "Hello, Bill," is everywhere manifested. The convention was called to order Tuesday at 11 a.m. by Chairman Gaskins, who made a felicitous address of welcome. Other addresses were delivered by the Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury: Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy: Judge Robert H. Terrell, Rev. Dr. Matthew W. Clair and Dr. William E. Thidell, secretary to the District board of commissioners. Responses were made by Dr. James E. Mills of Norfolk. Va., formerly grand exalted ruler; Dr. W. E. Atkins and Attorney J. Frank Wheaton of New York. The Ellis gife club furnished the music. The parade of the visiting and local "Hello Bills" was witnessed by thousands as the various delegations marched through the principal streets of the nation's capital. J. Clay Smith, a retired soldier, was grand marshal in chief. The grand lodge got down to business Wednesday morning. After a number of candidates had received the grand lodge degree the peace agreement was formally ratified and the general routine of work was taken up. Trips down the Potomac and other diversions helped to make the stay of the hordes of visiting antlers pleasant. Editor Bridges Sound Philosophy. While the dance proposition is always a financial success, few stop to consider that they are educating the feet at the expense of the head, says the Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine. Time sown in an idle pastime brings no results, and there comes a time in every man's life when he reckons with himself for an accounting for time spent in this world of conquests. Dishearring would be the report of one who has never accomplished anything or made something in this world better for his having lived. Think of it! LOCAS-BOOKER WEDDING Brilliant Social Event For Brooklyn Afro-Americans - The Bride's Attire. The society event among Afro-Americans in Brooklyn for the week ending July 23 was the marriage of Miss Ruby E. Booker, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Booker, to Clarence E. Lucas of Howard university, Washington, on Wednesday evening, July 20. The ceremony took place at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ and was performed by the Rev. Dr. W. M. Moss of Norfolk, Va., the new pastor elect, who will take official charge of the church as pastor Sept. 1. The bride, leaning upon the arm of her father, was preceded to the altar by the ushers, flower girl, pages, bridesmaids and maid of honor. She was attired in a handsome gown o liberty satin trimmed with valenciennes lace and satin ribbon tulle vell caught with Bride roses and carried a bonnet of white roses. After the ceremony at the church a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, 1005 St. Mark's avenue, which was largely attended. The bridal-party consisted of Messrs. Charles Hensen, J. E. Woods, Alfred R. Nash and Ferdinand Accoose as ushers. The pages were Master Irving Winters, Napoleon Dotson and Henry Goodwin. The bridesmids were Miss Florence Dotson and Maud Green. Lillijian C. Dodson was the flower girl, and Miss Amelia A. Howard was maid of honor. The groom was attended by Jerome A. Loring as best man. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas were the recipients of many handsome presents. They left on the midnight train for Atlantic City, N. J., for a brief stay before going to their new home in Washington. ATLANTIC CITY MEETING OF POLITICAL LEAGUE. Organization of National Scope Needed Among Colored Americans. The coming third annual meeting of the National Political league, to be held at Atlantic City, N. J. Aug. 4 and 5, promises to be one of interest and fruitful results. While many may differ as to the best methods to pursue in order to secure proper political recognition, no one should doubt the advisability and the importance of maintaining such an organization of national scope among us. Those who think differently on such matters should come into the organization and help to make it what they think it ought to be. The league can be made a strong lever with which to pry open the door and make a clear passageway for the enfranchisement of our people in the United States. Its platform is broad, and it is conducted by men of considerable experience in politics and, above all, men who have shown by their acts their devotion to the best interests of the race as they see it. We cannot hope to accomplish anything of lasting benefit so long as we are divided upon the very essentials by which we should and can rise. To stand off and criticise without offering a remedy is suicidal. Let there be concerted action all along the line upon the things which tend to give strength and influence to a given cause, and the time will soon come that our cause must go marching on. The Atlantic City meeting of the National Political league will be largely attended, judging from present indications. There it should be decided what course is best to pursue in the matter of the support which we believe the race should give to men and measures of whatever political faith. We must get together and make a strong demand for our manhood rights or we will never get them. Public sentiment points to the elevation of the masses through individual effort.

Conditions in Africa is the subject upon which the Hon. Giles B. Jackson, John C. Dancy, United States minister to Liberia; W. D. Crum, and Harry S. Cummings want ex-President Theodore Roosevelt to speak at the coming state fair for Afro-Americans to be held at Richmond. Va., next October. The quartet visited the ex-president recently at its home in Oyster Bay, N. Y. at which time the request was made. Minister Crum sailed for his new post of duty on Tuesday, July 19. Mr. Roosevelt will answer in due time. Pulpit and Press Want New South. It is now asserted that the pulpit of the south is lining up with the newspapers of that section which are preaching the doctrine of a new south. Well, the south can stand a pretty good shedding of old bark before it takes on new skin. Let us hope that its new birth may be healthful and that as it gradually grows into the spirit of civilization and fairness it may become prosperous. When it does finally come into the kingdom of law and order humanity the world over will breathe a sigh of relief. HOUSEHOLD HINTS: VEAL SCOLLOPS. The remains of cold roast veal, 1-2 teaspoonful grated nutmeg, 2 blades of pounded mace, cayenne and salt to taste, a little butter, 1' dessert-spoonful of flour, teaspoonful of anchovy sauce, juice of half' of lemon and grated rind of same, tablespoonful of mushroom ketchup, yolk of one egg beaten up with 1 cup of milk. Cut the veal into slices about 2 inches wide, cut across with knife but don't cut through, and grate into them the nutmeg, mace, cayenne and salt, fry in a little butter about five minutes, dish them and make a gravy in spider with the other ingredients, bring to a boil and pour over the veal; thin slices of fried bacon are nice with this.—Mrs. Whitehead, in the Boston Post. UNIQUE DOOR KNOCKERS. There is a fancy now for collecting old door knockers such as our ancestors delighted in before the day of electric buttons. So popular has become this knocker, collecting that many antique dealers are reproducing famous knockers of Colonial and earlier dates. It adds zest to a ramble in old parts of a city or to motoring in country districts to be on the lookout for knockers of former days. The eagle was a favorite model for early American knockers, also grotesque heads and weird animals from whose mouths hung rings to serve for arousing the household. Many historic knockers of England and America have been copied for modern houses, among them the famous sanctuary knocker of Durham Cathedral and the lion-faced knocker which for centuries ornamented the door of Bransenose College, Oxford, and was removed by students who migrated to Stamford in the fourteenth century and later passed through many private hands until it was returned to Bransenose in 1390.—New York Times. BOOKS IN BEDROOMS. There should always be books in a bedroom, where many quiet moments may be spent. What a difference it makes, on being ushered into the guests' room at the commencement of a visit, if a few well-chosen books smile a welcome, and how their presence helps toward the desirable sensation of "feeling oneself at home." At the same time the books in a bedroom should have a nook to themselves, and not trespass on the table or wardrobe space sacred to the keeping of one's clothes and the press of putting them on. In the bedroom sketch it is shown how an enticing book cupboard may be planned so as not to take up a foot of floor space, while it forms an appreciable addition to the comfort of the room. A small, not very useful cupboard is built into the wall of the kind so often found in houses of 40 or 50 years ago, was turned to account with the result depicted. The doors were taken away, the shelves fitted more closely together than those of the original cupboard, and lo and behold, a niche wherein to enshrine a plentiful supply of literature, grave and gay, the light reading for a tired hour, or the "work" for serious study. By lucky chance the niche in this instance happens to be between the bedstead and the fireplace, equally well placed for both; so a small shelf was devised to pull out between the bookshelves and the curtained-off shoe cupboard below them, to serve as a table for candle or electric reading lamp during wakeful hours, or in that pleasant lull in the day, the half hour before dressing for dinner, which it is so restful to while away with an amusing book over one's bedroom fire, if only the book, the chair and the time come together."—"Housing of Books," in the Home Magazine. HUNTS Mothers should caution their children attending school not to put pencils in their mouths, especially since diphtheria has been communicated in that way in some of our large towns. Jelly bags are not necessary for clearing jellies and soup. A clean glass cloth tied over the legs of a chair turned upside down and a basin placed beneath answers admirably. When the color of a fabric has been destroyed by acid, ammonia is applied to neutralize the same, after which an application of chloroform will in almost all cases restore the original color.

The hour is divided into 60 minutes simply because in old Babylon there existed, by the side of the decimal system of notation, another system of notation, another system, the sexagesimal, which counted by sixties. There is no number which has so many divisors as 60. The Babylonians divided the sun's daily journey into 24 parasams, each parasang, or hour, being divided into 60 minutes. The parasang is about equal to a German mile, and the Babylonians compared the progress made by the sun during one hour the progress made by a good walker during the same time.—New York American.

A girl should marry when she is capable of understanding and fulfilling the duties of a true wife and thorough housekeeper, and never before. No matter how old she may be, if she is not capable of managing a house in every department of it she is not old enough to get married. When she promises to take the position of wife and homemaker, the man who holds her promise has every right to suppose that she knows herself competent to fulfil it. If she proves to be incompetent or unwilling he has good reason to consider himself cheated. No matter how plain the house may be, if it is in accordance with the husband's means and he finds it neatly kept and the meals (no matter how simple) served from shining dishes and clean table linen, that husband will leave his home with loving words and thoughts and look ahead with eagerness for the time when he can return. Let the girl acquire every accomplishment within her power, the more the better, for every added accomplishment will be that much more power to be used in making a happy home. At the same time, if she cannot go into the kitchen, if necessary, and cheerfully prepare as good a meal as any one could with the same material, and serve it neatly after it is prepared, she had better defer her marriage until she learns how such household matters are performed. If girls would thoroughly fit themselves for the position of intelligent housekeepers before they marry there would be fewer discontented, unhappy wives, and more happy homes.—Woman's Life. BEST BRED GIRL IN NEW YORK. Dorothy Bigelow, daughter of Poultnay Bigelow, and granddaughter of John Bigelow, the historian, has the distinction of being "the best bred girl in New York." That title was bestowed upon her recently by a Newport and New York society leader, and every person who has met the charming girl vows it is. deserved. Miss Bigelow was educated in Europe and has mingled with the nobility in Germany, France and England, and everywhere has won admiration for her tact and her graciousness. Miss Bigelow made her debut in this city about five years ago and has divided her time between here, Newport and Europe. Her sister Evelyn, was married to James Francis Alviosus Clark, of London. Miss Bigelow's mother was a daughter of Edward E. P. Jaffray, and inherited a large amount of money. Poultnay Bigelow, the father, was a university friend of Emperor William in Germany many years ago. Miss Dorothy is a favorite of her grandfather, who has had a distinguished career. She spends much time with him, and her education in the classics and her keen literary appreciation make her an interesting companion for him.—New York Press. ALWAYS SMILE WITH BABIES NEAR. There is a country where babies never hear harsh words. Strangely enough, it is a country where missionaries feel there is plenty of work for them to do. It is a province in southern Africa, and the people, who never quarrel in the presence of their children, are the Ekoi. P. A. Talbot, who has passed many years among them, told recently of the customs of this odd race. "The Ekoi." said he, "are devoted parents and they have curious beliefs as to the advent and death of babies. One superstition forbids all quarrelling in the house where there are little children. The children, they say, love kind looks and gentle voices, and if these are not to be found in a family they will close their eyes and forsake the earth until they get a chance to be re-carnivated in less quarrelsome surroundings." Talbot, however, pointed out that the people have not yet grasped the importance of fresh water and sanitary living.—New York Press. DUTCH RED CROSS WOMEN. Mabel Boardman, national secretary of the American Red Cross, presented two picturesque women to President and Mrs. Taft, at a garden party in the White House grounds. They are Deaconesses Alute and Ufford. two nurses who are in the Red Cross of Holland, but who are visiting in Washington as the guests of the Minister from the Netherlands and Mme. Loudon. The two quaint young women, dressed in the severe costumes prescribed by the law of Holland, attracted much attention. They were stiff starched linen caps and full plaited gowns of heavy woolen goods, with bodices of wool and wide linen collars and cuffs. They were decorated with bejeweled orders, which the Dutch Government confers on such women who have devoted themselves to such service and who have accomplished brilliant work. They spoke only Dutch and German, but all evening they were the centre of a large throng who wished to meet and speak with them. They were shown through the White House and the grounds and were guests at an informal supper that followed—New York Press. MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE BOTH GOOD. vorce is an insurance policy." This is the substance of the philosophy held by A. C. Plowden, a London police magistrate. He argues that there is much unreasonable prejudice against divorce and goes on to say: "I look on marriage as a dangerous and mad gamble. Marriage should be encouraged in every way and divorce also should be encouraged." Plowden says that there is no marriage, however carefully arranged, which is not an experiment. You cannot prevent it being that. "Therefore," he says, "I look on divorce simply as a policy of insurance providing an opportunity of release to married couples, who through no fault of their own, have come in contact with unforeseen difficulties and calamities that have made their lives miserable. I think the common sense view is that if both parties to a marriage want the contract canceled and can satisfy the court that they have made conscientious efforts to live reasonably happy lives they should receive it."—New York Press. ACKNOWLEDGING AN INVITATION If your wedding invitations do not include the reception you are not expected to attend such a function. It is good form to invite friends to the church and not to the house afterward. You answer it only in case you are unable to be present, when you post your visiting cards to the bride's mother. Nothing is written on the cards. They are merely a recognition of having received the invitation. If you attend the ceremony you should post visiting cards within a week, which takes the place of a call. You are not at liberty to call in person, but you are expected to acknowledge the courtesy of your invitation, and cards through the mail do this. No cards are sent to the bride and bridegroom. It is not essential to send a present. Do as you please.—New York Telegram. FLOWERS' SYMBOLS. Flowers, as well as gems, are supposed to express certain meanings, and each month now has a birth flower. The girl who is fond of such superstitions will wear the flower of her natal month and the gem that goes with it. Those who do not know just what flowers they should wear might cut out this list and go by it. January, the snow drop: February, the primrose; March, the violet; April, the daisy; May, the hawthorn; June, the honeysuckle; July, the water lily; August, the poppy; September, the morning glory; October, the hop blossom; November, the chrysanthemums; December, the holly—Philadelphia Record. BRIGHT EYES. KEEP THEM Never rub your eyes, nor allow your children to do so from their cradles. Veils are bad for the sight, especially those spotted or covered with a pattern; so eschew veils when you can, or wear the softest, clearest net when obliged to do so. Never read in bed or when lying on a soft. Sit, with your back to the light when engaged in reading or working. Pale blue or greens are resful wall papers for the eyes, whereas red is exceedingly fatiguing. Do not read, write or work longer than two hours together, without resting your eyes and closing them for fully five minutes.—Woman's Life. TROUBLES The phrase that "troubles never come singly," was originated by a married man.—Woman's Life. HOW GOOD THEY ARE. We wouldn't suspect how good some people are if they didn't tell us.—Woman's Life. FASHION NOTES Paisley effects are much in vogue. The touch of black is still popular. Poplin for suits is quite in evidence. Crushed sucede or satin belts are much worn. Simplicity of cut is the note of the wash suits. Rep is a material much used for separate skirts. Handbags of black satin with monograms and mountings of gold are used. There is yet no limit to the amount of braiding put on gowns and suits. Deep cotton fringe trims the bottom of some of the coats of the moment. Very neat are the zephyr gingham woven in fine dimity checks or stripes. Among the new rubber camping coats are those made with the checked lining. Smocking is seen on some of the handsome lingerie negliges of soft silk. Silk and lisle stockings are worked with rooster heads on instep and ankle. Among the handsome scars which the season has brought forth are some of crepe with hand-painted borders. SELF RELIANCE NEGRO'S HOPE The Negro Must Depend Upon Himself, Says Judge Pritchard. The principal speaker at the opening session of the summer school and Chau- tuqua of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C., re- cently was Judge Jeter C. Pritchard. In the course of his address the spea- ler said: "The colored man is a citizen of the country, and, while he enjoys all the rights and immunities of citizenship, he must rely upon himself if he would accomplish the best things in our citi- zenship. "I am thankful to say that there has never been a time since emancipation when a majority of the white people of the south was not friendly to the Negro so far as his welfare as a citi- zen was concerned." Judge Pritchard said there was less racial antagonism in the rural districts. His confident belief was that no class of men was being better treated than the farmers, and he declared that migration back to the farm would eliminate much of the criminal element found in both races. STEWARDS OF HUMAN LIFE. To Know the Divine Estimate Is Our Duty, Says Dr. Lawton. Discussing human life as a divine investment before the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn recently, the Rev. Dr. W. R. Lawton said, among other things: "Human life is a divine investment, and each human being is a steward. God demands and expects a profit. "He has given direction as to the best possible investment and fixes as a punishment for failure eternal banishment from his presence. And yet life is so trivially and indifferently considered by many. It is used, treated and spent only as means of pleasure to the carnal man and not in view of its highest and noblest possibilities. "The intrinsic value of human life can be known only by God's estimate of it. To know the divine estimate is our duty, and this knowledge will give us the proper appreciation for it." BOSTON CITIZENS DRIVE "CLANSMAN" FROM CITY. Mayor Requests Play Stopped on Protest of Colored Men. A triumph for law and order, moral decency and friendly relations between the white and colored citizens of Boston has been scored as the result of a series of strong protests by white and colored citizens against Thomas Dixon's infamous race play, "The Clansman." At the conference, before Mayor John F. Fitzgerald held on Wednesday, July 20, the manager of the theater, Lindsay Morrison, agreed to voluntarily withdraw the play because of the protest of the colored citizens especially and at the request of Mayor Fitzgerald. The colored citizens were represented by W. Monroe Trotter, editor of the J. B. MAYOR J. F. PITZGERALD Boston Guardian: Rev. S. A. Brown. J. A. Crawford. James H. Wolff. Rev. S. J. Comfort. Rev. J. W. Hill and C. H. Plummer. The police commissioner, Stephen O'Mearn, sent the mayor a letter urging him for the good of the city and to forestall race trouble to exert his power as license dispenser to have the play sto; ped. The affair has created widespread interest throughout the country on account of the great controversy over the production of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures which pale into insignificance alongside of the rancorous race prejudice, engendered by the grotesque scenes in Tom Dixon's "Clansman." As a race we appreciate Mayor Fitzgerald's firm stand for law and order and extend thanks to the committee headed by W. Monroe Trotter, the fearless champion of the manhood rights of our race. Let us all hold up his hands in the great fight which he is making for the race along all lines. Whitfield McKinlay's Good Fortune.

He is not the only instance, by thousands, of the pioneer being called crazy by those whom he was seeking to benefit by an operation that justifies itself. Fulton was "crazy" in the opinion of those who jeered him as he went on his way to the yard where the Clermont was building. Their inedibility was different in expression only from that of Laplace, who assured Napoleon that there was nothing in Fulton's idea, and that steam had about enough power to propel a child's plaything.—Boston Transcript. Big Hats Defended. "Those big hats are all right, all right," said the man. "I want my wife to wear one on week days and Sundays, night and morning. Why? They keep her from getting her head knocked off, that is why. All her life she has had the habit of poking her head through cab windows, car windows, the windows of any old thing she happened to be taking. Pillars, posts and passingicles graze her nose, but possible beheadings had no effect for her. But she has taken to wearing big hats she has to keep her head inside because the hats won't go through the window. When voting for or against big hats just put me down among the yeas." —New York Sun. For Breakfast— Post Toasties with cream or milk.

No substance that refuses to dissolve in water has an odor. It is the actual substance itself, floating in particles in the air, that appeals to the nose, and not simply a vibration of the air, as in the case of light and sound. The damper a thing is the more powerful the odor it gives off. A pleasant proof of the fact can be had by walking in a garden after rain. There is no end to the curiosities of smell. It is for instance, the vapor of a liquid that passes over the liquid in the mass itself. If eau de cologne be poured into the nostril the nose refuses to recognize any odor there at all.—London Globe. Mountain air is imitated for the use of invalids. B. N. G. 23.

A DELIGHTFUL DAY Fun And Frolic For Many Little Tots. - A Day At The Fresh Air Farm Did you ever see two hundred little tots all in one bunch and as happy as a school of fish in their native element? If not, you have missed something worth going a great way to see. Gathered from almost every section of the city they came, from almost every condition of life, but most of them from the very poorest of homes, living in the alleys and slums of the city, where daylight has a hard, struggle to get a foothold, much less sunlight, and fresh air is a stranger in any other time of the year but the winter season when Boreas is doing his best to make everybody uncomfortable. They came streaming to the starting point, Druid Hill avenue and Dolphin street. They were to have a day of real genuine fresh air, plenty of good fresh food, and have a chance to see the trees, the grass, nurses and cows, pigs and sheep, and play and play and plenty of it, until they would be so tired that they would hardly be able to keep their eyes open until they got home to tell the wondering neighbors what had happened. It was a great treat at the Fresh Air Farm, "Delight", way up in Baltimore county. The Fresh Air Circle was to give the outing and they were to ride on the cars. What a day of delight was before them. Special cars had been provided and with officials of the Fresh Air Circle and many other friends, the journey was begun. When the farm was reached, a well prepared and wholesome dinner was ready for the little empty stomachs, made more so by the long, and anything but tiresome ride. Did they eat? A question entirely unnecessary. Will a duck swim? will a hog grunt will a sheep bleat? will the wind blow? does the sun shine? Ask any of these questions, but never ask did they eat. After many hours of fun and play, romping here and there, supper was ready, and full justice was done to it, and it was a supper that they will not soon forget. The return trip was made, but before it was over, many a little head went down and sleep came to eyelils, to heavy to see the many wondrous sights as the trolley car sped on its way back to the starting point. It was a great day for the little ones, and a great day for the adults. It was also a busy one Mrs. Thomas and Mr. H. Grafton Brown, who had charge of the children in South and East Baltimore respectively, as well as the other ladies in charge can testify. "Delight" is well named. It grows in beauty each year, and the splendid truck patch and the corn crop, add much to the value and efficiency of the place. It is to be hoped that the friends of the little ones will not with hold their help for much more is need to keep the season going so help in any way you can. "JOE" GANS DYING. Word has been received in this city that "foe" Gans the well-known lightweight prizefighter is not expected to live. He is now in Arizona where he went sometime ago to recover his health. His condition is very bad. There is talk of a benefit to be given for him in New York very soon. If so it will be one of the largest ever given for Gans is very popular with all the sporting fraternity.

You are gone but not forgotten, Nor will you ever be For as long as life and memory last. We will always think of thee. You have crossed the shining river And have gained that radiant shore Where no heart with grief can quiver, And all parting scenes are over. By her loving husband, Ed Carty and nephew, Wm. E. Sheppard. WHITE—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear wife, who departed this life four years ago to day, July 31st, 1906 The last farewell was spoken, Four years ago to-day Our family circle broken, How sad it was to part, One dear thought of your sweet face Will cause the tears start. Sleep on dear husband, sweetly sleep We needed you but God knows best. God's will be done, he doeth well But how we miss you no tongue can tell. By his loving wife, Emma White. COLE—In loving but sad remembrance of my dear mother, Annie Cole who departed this life, seven years ago, July, 1903. Her work on earth was done. In her everlasting home it had begun. It was our dear Lord's will. It was our dear Lord's will, His will be done; we miss her every- one, Loving friends, grieve not for her, she longs to be at rest, How happy, happy she is now. Pillowed on the S viour's breast By her loving daughter, Emma White. In sad but loving remembrance of Martha Hutchins, our dear wife and mother, who departed this life one year ago [July 18th, 1909]. Once our home was bright and happy, But oh how sad and dreary to-day, For our loving wife and mother, Has forever passed away. So to-day we sit so lonely, Our poor hearts are filled with pain; Buddha's smile in a wink pers. But her spirit softly whispers, Courage loved ones we'll meet again In memory we oftimes see, The one we loved so dear. The vision grows so clear sometimes, We feel she must be near. Gone in the best of her days. Blighted in the silent tomb, O for a touch of a vanished hand The sound of a voice that is still. By her husband and children, Chestertown, Md. PARKER—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear darling mother, Nancy Parker, who died years ago, July 26, 1908. Loved in life, in death remembered Twas the twenty-sixth of July, Just two years ago to day, Our dear mother had to leave us, To go her heavenly way. Farewell, Farewell, our mother dear We have spent two sad and lonely years. You have left us with aching hearts, The day that we and you had to part. Why did we wish her back. When she suffered so with pain, She sings in the angels' choir to-day And with Christ has gone to reign By her children, Carrie. James FUNERAL OF MRS. GILES The funeral of Mrs. Johanna E.
