THE AFFAIR AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XVIII. NO. 43. DOVE OF PEACE WILL NOT SETTLE ON CALANTHAS W. A. SCOTT OBJECTS TO A WOMAN BEING ELECTED A MEMBER OF HIS CABINET Causes Much Trouble And Does Not Abide By The Decision of The Surpreme Court Of Calantha Held Last Year In Kansas City—This Makes Trouble And The End Is Not Yet.—Hales Two Women Into Court In The Dead Of Night And Brings Down Wrath Upon His Head. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Mobile, Ala.—Greetings to my friends in America. While my letters are being published, yet I feel that I must turn attention to a jew things at home. This has been a year of sadness, and just yesterday word reached me that Mrs. M. A. Councill, widow of the late W. H. Councill is no more. Then comes the other sad message just a few weeks ago that my friend Bishop Lampton was called home. Bishop Lampton was no college graduate, but a graduate from the practical school of experience. He gathered around him the most available educated men, and then in addition to this he had his daughters prepared to assist him, and it was in this way, backed up by natural ability that he made his way to the front. Camp College was nearest his heart and needed hard for it. It will live, and the designs he laid upon the board will be carried out by Bishop H. M. Turner, who has charge of the district. I also informed that his daughters will continue to keep house at Greenville and will give attention to the business of their father. I thought when I returned to this country I would be a good religious man and would not have to even think curse words, but the first thing that happened almost made me speak out in church. You see there has been trouble in the Pythian Ranks of Mississippi, but not as such, but in the Court of Calanthe. A year ago Grand Counsellor W. A. Scott objected to a woman being elected a member of his cabinet and got down on the floor and made a speech against her. She was defeated and made an appeal to the Supreme Court in Kansas City last August. The Supreme Court set aside the election and ordered a new meeting held in 90 days and the Supreme Counsellor, John W Strauther was ordered to be present. But before the time. Scott went into Court and got an injunction, restraining the Supreme Court from holding the extra session. Hence thousands of dollars of the people's money have been spent in low suits. At the Grand Lodge, those who were loyal to the Supreme Court of Calanthe, held a meeting and elected Mrs. R. A. Jones, Grand Counsellor and Mrs. M. E. Jackson, Grand Recorder of Deeds. Now Scott had the thing out and dried, because one night just after supper, an officer came, down and arrested the two women named. It was at an hour when it was hard to get bond, and it was thought that they would have to stay in jail, but there were men of money and influence present and they saved them from disgrace. I am a man, and I have been pleading for years for the protection of our women, and how can I have respect for a man who would have women arrested because of his desires to be a big man. Having representative women carted off to jail and then tlk about being a "Race Leader." We do not need such leaders. I heard the case tried, and to my surprise it was a mess. The jury declared there was nothing in the case and the women were set free. It behoves the men to strike down such stuff. I guess I had better stop before I may say words. I will be in Baltimore this month. Expect to attend the Business League in New York. HON. JOHN C. DANCY PYTHIANS OF E. & W.H.

BRAINS, NOT BRUTE FORCE FOR ALDERMAN REV. G. D. CARNES THINKS JACK JOHNSON IS NOT FIT PERSON FOR THAT JOB Hon. John C. Dancy Says The Negro Has Advanced Ninety Per Cent In Property Holding In North Carolina. -Is Making A Good Showing In Other Things. -Interdenominational Sunday School and Educational Convention Proves A Success New Berne, N. C., Aug 2-The Negro in North Carolina has gained upward of 90 per cent. in property holdings in the last ten years, and that the Negro has more schools and colleges in this State than any State in the Union were among the encouraging facts brought out in the address of Hon. John C. Dancy, to the Colored Interdenominational Sunday School and Educational Convention which held its eighth annual session in St. Peter's A. M. E. Zion church, this city, July 20-29. Mr. Dancy paid a tribute to the character of Col. James I. Young, the president of the convention, who is largely responsible for its healthy condition. In a short talk to the convention, Rev. G. D. Carnes, of Wilmington, N. C., among other things said: "The saddest commentary on Negro intelligence is the effort to lift Johnson to a position on the Aldermanic bench of the city of Chicago, where brain will be required in the discharge of the duties of this high office, and not his stock in trade—brute force." Mr. C. C. Spaulding and Dr. Chas, Shepherd of Durham, were among those who made able addresses. The convention did practical work and heartily endorsed the work of the Religious Training School and Chautauqua, located at Durham. The following officers were elected: Col. James H.

(Special to Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, August 1 — After a most interesting session, the reunited Grand Lodge of Elks adjourned here last Friday to meet in Boston. Mass, in August, 1911.

GOES SIGHT-SEEING IN THE CITY OF LEEDS, ENGLAND MEETS A GENTLEMAN WHOSE BUSINESS AND RELIGION VIE WITH EACH OTHER. Is Highly Entertained By A Well To-Do Business Man—His home A Palace—Invited To Call Again—Arrives In Leeds And Meets A Gentleman Who Was Looking For Him As His Guest—Takes Advantage Of An Opportunity To Take A Look Around For Himself. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Leeds, England.—It seems hard for me to get away from Edinburgh but this is one of the places where I have spent much of my time and I have seen much there to inspire me. I have met many people and you will agree with me that I have seen many things. The last evening I was in town I accepted an invitation to take dinner with Dr. J. W. Rankin. You see just as soon Dr. Rankin convinced the committee that he was an official delegate, then he was assigned by the committee to a stopping place with Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Simpson. Mr. Simpson is director for Redpath, Brown & Co., Lt'd., with offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Manchester. The firm erects steel sky scrapers. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson are comfortable in their palatial residence on some Road. I do not remember the name of it, but at any rate it is a lovely place. You reach the place, and you ring the bell, and the gate is opened, then you are admitted to the yard, and later into the palace. It is safe in calling this home a palace. It is lovely. The queen of the home; Mrs. Simpson, received us, and assured me that she was delighted to have me in their home and I was delighted to be in that fine home. Well, Dr. Rankin went up to his room to prepare for dinner, and already she had anticipated my coming, and sent me to another room to prepare for dinner. It did not take me long to prepare, and soon it was announced dinner was ready. Stopping at the same house was Bishop Houda, from Japan, and he was glad to meet me, then I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Simpson, the sister of Mr. Simpson, and then the son. Mr. Simpson was not present when we started dinner, but entered the house later. He bade me welcome, and said that he was glad that I had entered his home, but he did not know how glad I was to be there. It took just about one hour and thirty minutes for us to eat dinner, and then I entertained them for a little while. An invitation was extended for a carriage ride, and that is why I got to see so many things that I have told you about in other letters. It seemed to be a pleasure for Mr. Simpson to explain all the things I have been talking about, and while he talked away I wrote them down. After several hours ride, I returned to the house, and again something to eat was ready, and then I entertained the company for one hour. I was informed that in ease I ever returned to Edinburgh. I would be their guest, and also invited to their church. afr. Simpson is a busy man, and then he is a religious man. He allows his religion and business to associate on equal terms hence, you never hear any complaints about his business feelings. He is a refined, polished Christian gentleman, and his wife is a very queen. They accepted a photograph of me, and it has found a place in their home. What do you think of this? Now you see I am away from Edinburgh. Dr. Rankin was down bright and early to see us off. Dr. Robinson and myself got in a carriage. We had to get in the eating carriage, because the others were filled. Well it was comfortable, and as I not had dinner, they brought me in dinner. I had to make all the arrangements, hence Dr. Robinson could eat his dinner. We just got there in time, to get on. I had a one Continued on page 5. W.

Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 5—The fifty fourth annual session of the National Grand Tabernacle of the Galilean Fishermen began here Tuesday morning at the Second Baptist church with over 300 delegates in attendance representing eleven States. Baltimore has probably the largest delegation over 78 being present from that city. Formal welcoming services were held Tuesday evening. The address of welcome was delivered by W. Justin Carter, one of the most successful lawyers in this City. Responses were made by C.C. Fitzgerald of Baltimore, and A. W. E. Bassette of Virginia. A musical and literary program followed. Rev. T. H. Shorts the National Grand Supreme Ruler delivered a brief address.

Successful Outcome of Peace Negotiations Due Chiefly to Mackenzie King, Minister of Labor—Both Sides Express Themselves as Fully Satisfied. Ottawa, Ont. (Special).--The strike of conductors, trainmen and yardmen which began on the Grand Trunk and Central Vermont systems on July 18 was officially called off. Under the terms of the agreement signed by President Hays, for the railroads, and all the union officials, the men will receive, dating back to May 1 of this year, an advance of approximately 18 per cent, and beginning January 1, 1912, a rate of wages slightly below the Eastern Association schedule, for which they struck, but an advance in many instances of over 30 per cent. Much credit for the successful outcome of the peace negotiations is given to W. L. Mackenzie King, the minister of labor, who has persisted in his efforts to bring the men together despite discouraging sackhacks. The agreement follows: "The company will put back as soon as possible the man or man other than those who have been or may be found guilty of acts of violence disorderly conduct, the understanding being that there is to be no coercion nor intimidation used towards the new man." "The company will put into effect from May 1, 1819 the rates named in the schedule of rates dated July 18, 1810, those rates to be embodied in the present schedules now in effect on this line, it being understood that those rates shall in no instance effect a reduction in any existing rate." "The company will, on January 1, 1012, make effective in train and yard service on the Grand Trunk Railway the rates of navy and the rules contained in the schedule or agreement on that date in effect on the lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway east of Fort William." In the case of the Central Vermont the same settlement applies with the exception that the standardization to be applied on January 1, 1912, is to be that of the Rutland Railway, a road in the same territory and not that of the Canadian Pacific, which will only apply to the Grand Trunk system. President Corrison, of the Conductors, and President Lee, of the Trainmen, both declare that they are satisfied with the terms of the settlement. ADVOCATE GOOD ROADS. National Good Ponds Congress Convenes At Nigara. Nigara Falls, N. Y. (Special).—Cooperation between the federal and state government in the good roads movement was advocated by the speakers at the session of the third annual convention of the National Good Ponds Congress. B. F. Foyum of the St. Louis and San Francisco Raidroad, and Congressman William Sulzer, of New York, favored the idea of the federal government loaning money to the state for good road building. In the general discussion which followed Martin Dodge, of Washington, spoke in favor of the national government making appropriations equal to the amount expended by the states for road construction. F. N. Tilden, Soldier Of Fortune, Meets Death In Africa. —Sacramento, Cal. (Special). — Frank N. Tilden, a soldier of fortune, son of the late Judge M. C. Tilden, of Sacramento and Carson City, Nev., was killed by an elephant he had wounded near Fort Jamieson, Rhodesic, South Africa, May 28 last, according to a letter received here by Capt. E. L. Hawk from W. A. Howell, of San Francisco, who accompanied Tilden to South Africa two years ago. Tilden made a fortune in African and Alaska gold fields. He owned a large rubber plantation at the time of his death. Bess Go Through Hat Waterbury, N. X. (Special).—The raunted reputation of the "rat" as a protection against injury was destroyed in the swoop of a band of rampant bees, when Mrs. Carlton Hendrickson was rightfully stung. Mrs. Hendrickson had gone into her linen bean patch, when John Pinska's bees attacked her, stinging through her hair, and even through a large "rat" she wore. A daughter has been busy since then picking "stingers" from her face and head. Last year about this time Hendrickson was similarly attacked, as he was about to pick beans, and this year he decided to turn the pikering over to his wife. Davenport, Ia. (Special)—After carefully arranging the burial-robes for all three, Mrs. Nick Nehlsen, wife of a farmer living eight miles from it, administered fatal doses of strychnine to herself and her two daughters, aged two and four years. The cloak of a daughter with a man many years her senior greatly preyed upon the mind of the mother. Lost Life to Save Her Boy. Lost Life to Save Her Boy Detroit, Mich. (Special)—Mrs. Henry Smith, of this city, was instantly killed in an attempt to disentangle her 14-year-old son, Henry, from a live wire. While he was playing in front of his home, Henry went to investigate the end of a wire that was dangling from a pole. His screams attracted the attention of his father, who rushed out to help him. Mrs. Smith5 grapped the wire with one hand and the boy's shoulder with the other, endeavoring to free him. Then she fell to the pavement死. It is thought the boy can overcome. Travets Incognito to Study Life in Coal Fields. WANTS THE FACTS AT FIRST HAND The Colonel Takes Up Sociology and Breezes Into Dickson. Pa., Unannounced—Talks to Silk Mill Girls in Streets—Accompanies Coal Begined Miner to His Home. Scranton, Pa. (Special).—Mr. Roosevelt has turned sociologist. He has forsaken the field of politics for the time being and is now a social worker. He came into the heart of the anthracite coal regions of Central Pennsylvania to see how the miners live and what they do. The Colonel, with all of his characteristic vigor and energy, spent time visiting the homes of the workers, inspecting the mines themselves and taking a look into the conditions of the young women who are employed in the silk mills here. He had a perfectly buly time. The mystery of his audden disappearance from New York has been solved. The Colonel admitted that on his way across the Atlantic six weeks ago he was attracted by an article in a magazine describing the folks who live in these neglected parts. He thought that something ought to be done for the unfortunate who have no means of real legitimate amusement when they emerge from the dark recesses of the mines or the stuffy silk mills. He decided to come up and see for himself and travel incognito if possible. Mr. Roosevelt has done many things. He has shot wild game, played politics, tennis and ever so many other pastimes, but despite the hand he had in the disputes of the coal miners he never sat at close range how far he traveled through the Lackawanna valley in an automobile whizzed over dirty, hot roads, had there in a dairy establishment, had there were not enough roads to go around, and met the men who whooped it up for him until the Colonel beamed and heamed. The identity of the ex-President was unknown for a good part of the trip. Rough, hearty workers, covered with soot, grasped his hand and told him that he was the goods. He liked that, too. Mr. Roosevelt declared that his idea in coming up here was merely to inspect and nothing else. He said that any conclusions to be drawn from this flying visit will be drawn by him. RECORD FOR EXPORTATION. U. S. Manufacturers End Year With Total of $768,000,000. Washington, D. C. (Special)—A new high record for the exportation of manufactures was made by the United States in the fiscal year 1910, with a grand total of $768,000,000 in value as against $750,000,000 in 1908, the former high record. The growth of the manufacturing industry in the United States is illustrated in the figures for the year just issued by the Bureau of Statistics showing the total exports as $768,000,000; 1910, $768,000,000; 1890, $179,000,000; 1880, $122,000,000. The greatest percentage of increase in exports by the United States during the year was with Canada, to which country Uncle Sam sent goods valued at $216,000,000, an increase of $32,500,000 or 32 per cent. The increase of exports to Brazil was 30 per cent; to Argentina, 21 per cent; Cuba, 20 per cent; Central America, 20 per cent, and Mexico, 17 per cent. Trade with Europe as a whole declined about $11,000,000 in exports as compared with the previous year. The only increases being in the exports to Germany and France. Exports to Asia showed a general decline. To Japan the exports were $22,000,000, compared with about $26,006,000 the previous year. To China the fall of three million, thousand, increased of $84,666,000 in the trade with Australia. A general increase is shown in importance of merchandise. Europe having sent $66,250,000, as against $45,333,000 the preceding year. Canada sent to the United States $05,000,000, as against $10,233,000 in 1909. PENNSY. SIGNS WAGE SCALE. Men said to Have Received Slightly Higher Wages. Pittsburg, Pa. (Special)—"All differences between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and its men on lines west of Pittsburgh have been satisfactorily adjusted." This statement was made by General Manager G. L. Peek, of the lines west, following the conclusion conference of nearly three weeks' negotiation. A new wage scale was signed which covers technicalities in working conditions or which the men complained. The basis of adjustment is practically the same as the New York Central award, with wages slightly higher, according to G. R. Sinos, vice-president of the Order of Railway Trainmen. The Fair Sex in Office. Austin, Tex. (Special)—Interesting developments of the Texas Democratic primaries are coming to light as complete returns reach the capitol. Although woman's suffrage has not invaded Texas, it develops that the Democrats will have two officeholders from the fair sex, Miss Annie Wiseman having been named district clerk in Wilson county, while Bee County elected Miss-Lida Dougherty as county superintendent of schools. 8.000 Miles For A Home. Chicago. (Special)—Fargo Matthews, a 13-year-old orphan, left Chicago for an 18-year journey to the Philippines; where he will be adopted by W. Ernest Crove, a schoolteacher at San Pablo, Iloana. Matthews was the choice of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, to whom Crove wrote last January, saying that he was lonesome and wished to adopt a boy. Matthews was selected from 100 applicants; the youngster will spend about three years in the Philippines. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, facing forward, with a serious expression.] National Grand Secretary of the Graud United Order of Galilean Fishermen, in session this week at Harrisburg, Pa. said: "We shall stop the growth of crime by police." Now the police are sometimes necessary, but I doubt if it be an efficient remedy against such a plague. It is very important to them and to us that the young man chooses the good road, because if he chooses the evil he will himself only reap sad and cruel results, and we ourselves run the risk of finding ourselves face to face with the young man who has gone wrong on some dark evening and if the young man holds a knife in his hand the papers the next day will tell of the latest crime of the apaches. To counteract this I see only one means, for the young man is not really lost to society, and those who really understand how to rule would not give him up as lost. No, he would have said: "Those people are the ones who are to make my best soldiers." Have we not seen many of them in our African regiments give the most splendid proofs of courage and heroism? No, they are not lost, but it is our duty to show them another way, and, I repeat, a way where they are sure to meet with approval, sure to please. A new spirit must be infused into the people, and it is in this connection that the idea of music forces itself upon me. In all the big cities, in all the large towns we must have musical schools where young girls and young men are to be taught to sing together. Here they will be taught the value of solidarity in the most efficient, the most practical, way. In each of these orchestras, in each of these choruses, the absence of one or two performers will leave a hole which the others will endeavor to fill, and thus they will all go to work together toward a common artistic goal. 0 X car seat; no one no one calls a "don't do it" to in and on our s No one.

By Ellis O. Jones. ANY of our most respected magnates, in private interviews with friends or reformers, have claimed with fervent emphasis that it is absolutely necessary to bribe councilmen and other public servants in order to be able to do business. As this claim is probably true, and as the tendency is more and more toward the introduction of business methods into politics, let us cease trying to abolish this system of corruption, but rather take advantage ANY of our most respected magnates, in private interviews with friends or reformers, have claimed with fervent emphasis that it is absolutely necessary to bribe councilmen and other public servants in order to be able to do business. As this claim is probably true, and as the tendency is more and more toward the introduction of business methods into politics, let us cease trying to abolish this system of corruption, but rather take advantage of it. Obviously the thing to do is to establish a public bribling board, provided with a large public fund and powers plenipotentiary to bribe or otherwise cajole, browbeat, wheed'a or intoxicate our councilmen into looking at things occasionally from the standpoint of the public. Many a magnate has become immensely wealthy and respected by bribling councilmen. If we did the same as a community we might eventually come to respect ourselves in addition to respecting the magnates. T has been said that music softens habits and customs, and we are surely in need of learning gentler habits. You can hardly open a paper without reading things that send shivers down your back, articles about the growth of crime, but when you have read that crime grows and you look for a remedy it is condensed into five or six lines. And still five or six lines are too much to express a thought when the thought is anything but clear, as is mostly the case. The remedy suggested is often very vague. It is sometimes Ey F. L. N.

Eggs are not cautioned against evil and law breaking; they are allowed to have their own way, to follow their own sweet wills. The result is a crop of selfishness, and acts that are vicious, criminal and un-American. No one checks the boy who puts his feet all over the Erwin Wider Caught in New York Restaurant. Cashier of the Russo-Chinese Bank. Who Got Away With $500,000, Was a Pitiful Sight When Captured—Held in the Tombs on $25,000 Bail. New York (Special).—A frail, little man with gray cheeks and hollow eyes, in whose manner and presence there was nothing to suggest that singlehanded he had coolly lifted $500,000 in bonds and stocks from the strong box of a bank, was arrested here in a downtown restaurant, not five minutes walk from the bank had robbed. He was Erwin Wider, the missing easierer of the Russo-Chinese Bank. In the Court of General Sessions his lawyer, Ginsberg, said that he would plead guilty, and he was committed to the Tombs in default of $25,000 bail. Ginsberg pleaded vainly with Judge Foster for a lower amount, saying "none of this money is in my client's possession. It was all swallowed up in Wall Street speculation." Almost as Wider was arrested the grand jury handed up an indictment against him, charging specifically that he stole three certificates, one of 50 shares and two others of 25 shares each of Baltimore and Ohio stock, and that he disposed of them through the brokerage house of Dick Brothers on May 22 last. These particulars indicate that the process of theft had been going on for weeks and possibly for months before it was discovered. How such a State of affairs could have existed is difficult to understand, for at least three other officers of the bank had access to the safety deposit box in which the bank's securities were kept, and the new itself was brought daily, which meant during business hours in the bank's safe. Brokers with whom Wider traded have said that he called up from the bank to give their orders over the telephone. Ginsberg's statement that all the sum stolen 'had been eaten up in speculation would seem to indicate that the bank will never recover a dollar. It has been said berefofore' that suits would be filed against the brokers with whom Widen leaft, but no such suits yet been instituted. RAVAGED BY CHOLERA. A Stratling Number Of Cases And Deaths In Russia. St. Petersburg (Special) —The extent of the cholera epidemic is revealed in figures just made public by the government sanitary commission. The stricken region now includes 42 provinces and territories of European Russia since the outbreak of the disease last May there have been a total of 37,652 cases, with 16,651 deaths. Recently there has been a starting increase in the number of victims. During the week ending July 23 no less than 13,374 cases were reported and of these 5,979 terminated fatally. Sometime ago the scourge made its appearance in this city and for the past fortnight there has been a daily average of 40 cases and 12 deaths in the capital. Yesterday there were 54 cases and 14 deaths reported here. In the local hospitals there are 514 cholera suspects, including 38 children. GUTHRIE AGAIN CAPITAL. Gov. Haskell And Officials Move From Oklahoma City. Guthrie. Okla. (Special).—Guthrie was reestablished as the capital of Oklahoma in practically all respects, following the decision of the State Supreme Court. The only officials who followed Governor Haskell to Oklahoma City were William Cross, secretary of state and Charles Taylor State Examiner and Inspector of Public Accounts. Their offices were kept open in Guthrie, although they themselves removed their headquarters to Oklahoma City. Mr. Taylor ordered his office sign at Oklahoma City taken down and all work under him centered at Guthrie. Mr. Croes is seriously ill at Oklahoma City, but business will be transacted here. What Governor Haskell will do has not been stated. Drying House Explodes. New York (Special).—A heavy electric storm hit Pompton and neighboring towns in Passaic County, N.J. before daybreak. The drying house of the Dupont de Nemours Powder Works at Haskell was struck by lightning and exploded with a loud noise that awakened everybody within a radius of five miles. The house was five stories high and was used for drying gun-cotton after the fiber had been impregnated with nitroglucerin. No one was injured. Nine Burned By Acid. Philadelphia (Special)—Seven girls, a boy and a man were terribly injured by the bursting of several carbys containing vitrol for use in chemical fire engines. The accident occurred on Ridge avenue, when a supply wagon belonging to the fire department broke down. The children were being given a ride by the driver. Richard Great, who was serving the vitrol to the various firehouses when the axle of the wagon broke. The glass carbys containing the acid were hurled onto the bodies of the riders. Walked 821 Miles To See Friend. Chicago (Special). — After walking 321 miles in 25 days to visit an old friend of his father, J. H. Wayne, a junior at the College of Veterinary Surgeons of the University of Pennsylvania, found at the end of his long walk that the friend, Detective Sergeant Peter O'Connol, had died early in June. Wayne, who is 23 years old, made the walk more for pleasure than anything else, but will, take a train back to his abode in Hollandtown, Pa. Arrested With Miss Leneve on Board the Montrose. Detectives Dressed as Pilots Board the Steamer Montrose at Father Point and Inspector Dew at Once Identifies "Rev. John Robinson" as the Man Wanted. "On Board Steamship Montrose, Below Quibec (Special).—Dr. Harvey Hawley Crippen and Ethel Lencue are in the grasp of Scotland Yard. At 8:30 Sunday morning Inspector Dew boarded the ship off Father Point, with the pilot, and in a few moments the handcuffs were on the man for whom the police of the world have been searching for the past three weeks. As for Miss Leneve, when arrested, she fainted in her cabin, still dressed in the boy's clothes. When Dew touched Crippen on the shoulder all the latter said was "am glad the suspense is over. The anxiety was too great for me to bear." Crippen was immediately taken to cabin 8, while Miss Leneve remained in room 5 in a state of collapse. This is the room that John Philo Robinson, merchant of Detroit, and John George Robinson, student, had occupied. Miss Leneve was given women's clothing as soon as the arrest was made. The large tender Eureka, with 40 newspaper men aboard, cruised about the harbor from the Montrose and not headed in her direction. This was pre-arranged, as it was feared that Crippen would become suspicious, if the whole boatload of people came out to the ship and would try to end his life by suicide. The little party with the pilot boarded the Montrose, climbing up the rope ladder, and in about 15 minutes the signal ship that was heard by board the Eurekn, and the tender ploughed her way in the direction of the steamer. She was soon alongside and the newspaper men climbed aloft by the ladder route in a drenching shower. In a few minutes the Montrose was on her way to Quebec. Crippen and Miss Leneve had breakfast as usual and afterward the girl, in boy's clothing, retired to her cabin while Crippen placed the deck on the port side. Dr. Stewart, the ship's surgeon, in describing the arrest said while Crippen had been very nervous since the gulf reached, he did not seem to be apprehensive of the short stop at Father Point until he saw the boat load of men pulling for the ship. Then he turned pale. Inspector Dew walked up the deck and when he got near to where Crippen and Dr. Stewart were standing he stopped and beckoned to Crippen. He did not falter for a moment, but walked straight over to where the sloth from Scotland Yard was standing. Dew took him by the arm. While closely guarded on route from Father Point to Quebec, Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve were allowed to see each other. Miss Leneve is rapidly recovering her composure and Dr. Crippen is almost cheerful. No short was made by Inspector Dew to give a confession from Crippen. The jewel found on the prisoner furnish the only imprimative evidence. When the Inspector had taken Crippen to the captain's room under the bridge, where the arrest was made by Detectives McCarthy and Denis, as the steel bracelets clamped his wrists he looked at Dew for a moment and said he was glad the suspense was over. Then he was quickly led down to a vacant cabin, where he was searched. The first search of his outer clothing revealed only a $10 bill, a watch and a pencil. No revolver, not even a knife was found. Pinned to his undershirt, however, were five ladies' diamond rings and a diamond pin. Miss Leneve, when searched, also had in her possession a splendid diamond brooch. In cuba 5 Miss Leneve, alias John George Robinson, was searched after she revived from the collapse which followed her arrest. She was given brandly and Inspector Dew and a stewardess went through her clothing. Nothing was found of any consequence save the diamond brooch, and Dew asked her several questions, trying to draw from her what knowledge she had of the crime. She volunteered little information, however.

In a written interview on some reasons why the American Negro is dying so rapidly, the Rev. J. Andrew Patterson, noted author and psychologist of Orange, N. J., says: It has been sold by scientists and statisticians that the Negro is dying faster than he is being born. It has also been stated that because of disobedience on the part of parents to prenatal and postnatal laws the majority of the younger generations of the present and those of the near future are and will be inherently weaker than their parents. The foregoing statements being true, it is evident that a race that is dying faster A. B. REV. J. ANDREW PATTerson. than it is being born, with a majority of the coming generations being poorly born, cannot survive. Fifty years ago America had no greater race physically than the Negro. But today, excepting the American Indian, no race offers such little resistance to disease as the colored race. Farseeing scientists have already predicted, reasoning from actually existing conditions, that unless some immediate and marked change in the Negro's mode of living and habits of life is brought about within a few decades there will be no solution for the problem will be solved by the extinction of the race. And as a sincere student of the philosophy of life I repeat that unless some real tangible moral, physical and mental reform is effected among our people in the twilight of another century humanity will behold a spectacle more appalling than the tragedy of the passing Indian. You may say absurd, but that does not affect the truth. The time has come when every thinking man and woman of the race should prepare to do constructive work. Sanitation and applied science are increasing the life span of the white man, and why not the black? With the curses that came with the blessings of freedom the Negro was taken from bondage and ushered in to the bliss of liberty. In this condition, which would prove to be a serious curse to his physical existence because of the fact that he was ignorant and unprepared for his new and almost abnormal environment. By force of circumstances the average Negro lived a more simple life. At night there were few places for him to frequent. There were not many late suppers, all night balls and gambling parties, houses of vice and glided debauchery to rob him of vitality and sleep. Here, ooops looms in the room and his spare drinking poisonous liquors; no destructive cigarettes for ignorant and unthinking boys and many other vices that are weakening the race today. Somebody says that the white man does the same things and is living longer. Why can't we? I say that the woodchopper wields the ax all day and comes home singing. Why can't the bank clerk leave his desk and do the same thing? Don't understand me to say that the white man's longevity can be like conditions that for that he has practiced the vows so long as to become immune from the results, but rather it is due to his increasing knowledge of the laws of his being, and the majority of such are striving to keep those laws. The second and most important reason may be found in the fact that the human body is absolutely under the control of mental states. Every student of mental laws has read the material on mentalisons are readled by adverse mental conditions such as fear, hate, worry, anger, grief, sad and eloquent thoughts. Under mental states we may consider the power of suggestion. In the past it has been used by all classes and condition of man. Like a two edged sword suggestion has killed unnumbered millions. It has been the physician's greatest balm and most destructive poison. The doctor with his "I'll cure you, but it will take a long time," has made a lingering patient, while the opposite suggestion would have caused a quick recovery. Then comes the ignorant doctor with his death dealing "I have done all that can be done; there is no hope for you," who has administered a poison far more harmful than the disease itself. The sincere minister in the revival meant no wrong when he said to the sinner: "Come to Christ now. Some of you will never see another revival season again." But he sent innocent victims to death just as truly as did the assassin's bullet. The kind mother did not know what she was doing when she said to her son or daughter, "You are the most stupid child in the world, and you will never amount to anything. How different matters might have been known that in her life, the power to make consequences, failures and criminals. No race is so much given to adverse mental states and harmful suggestion as the Negro race. Take warning, stop so much talking, shouting, singing and praying about dying. We will please God if we shorten the funeral service and don't wear mourning so long. It is a scientific fact that such indulgences are the greatest enemies to long life. In a recent sermon the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, for thirty-eight years pastor of the Union Baptist church, Baltimore, Md., referred to the moving pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight with emphasis. Dr. Johnson said: "In my opinion the authorities in many places were a little too easy in stopping the motion pictures of the fight between Jeffries and Johnson. I think Johnson is the greatest hero the colored race has ever had. "Teach the children how to box and they won't carry razots. Boxing should be taught in all the colored institutions in the country, and there should be professors especially for this purpose. "As the present time Jack Johnson is in the eyes of the world, and therefore surely is the hero of the colored race. You who are now listening to me, teach your children how to box and you will be doing the best thing that you can do for their moral and physical uplift. "It must not be thought that I believe in pridefights, but I am free to admit that I do believe in boxing. Boxing, in my opinion, is not half so bad as football, and that is saying a good deal. "Some people say that I should not discuss the fight from my pulpit, but how are the Negroes going to know what is going on if their ministers do not tell them? Fully one-half of the Negroes do not read the newspapers and it then becomes the duty of the ministers to enlighten them on the happenings of the day. "When the report of the fight was spread over the land there was a great jubilation, and shortly afterward there were reports of race riots all over the country. I agree with my people that they should have celebrated, but they went too far. "In conclusion, I wish to say that I think that the man who brought the bacon home is the hero of the day and we should do everything in our power to help him keep his name and title." NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GRADUATE NURSES Meets In Philadelphia Aug. 17—Its Work Approved by Physicians. The third annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses will be held in Philadelphia, beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 17, for three days. No body of organized women akin in their profession to the practicing physician is doing a more helpful work among our people than the National Graduate Nurses' association. As the members are called upon they go into the homes of the people to care for the sick in connection with the attending physician. There, with patience, skill and advice, they render a service of inestimable value. Many physicians have given their testimony as to the wisdom displayed by nurses in serious cases of illness, of which they had charge and which resulted in the patients' recovery largely through the skill of the nurse in following out direct medical orders. The convention this year will be largely attended, as many members of the National Medical association have arranged to remain over from their recent convention held in Washington. There will also be an unusually large number of nurses from all sections of the country. The present officers of the association are Miss Martha Franklin, president, New Haven, Conn.; Miss Lottie Marlin, corresponding secretary. New York: Miss Mary Clark, recording secretary. Richmond, Va., and Miss Ada B. Samuels, treasurer, Lincoln Hospital, New York. NO COLOR LINE FOR DIAZ. Mexico's Chief Executive Bolieves in a Square Deal For All. The decision of President Diaz of Mexico not to accept membership in the National Sunday school convention because the institution draws the color line is to be commended in the highest terms. He says that he rules over too many of the colored race to be biased, which places this great Christian organization in a pretty dim light. Good for President Diaz. Christianity has been a cloak to long for sets of narrow, contracted, blas thinking selos of humanity. and a public call-down is about the only thing that will sort of bring them to their senses and make them extend the glad hand, even if it is with a faltering heart. Bruce Resigns From Mining Company. John E. Bruce of Youkers. N.

Subject: Jesus on the Way to Jersus- lem, Matt, 10:1, 2, 13-26 Commit Verses 13-15. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Jesus said, Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto Me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Matt. 19: 14 TIME.—March, A. D. 30. LITTLE Children, 1-15. Jesus still maintained His popularity with the multitude (v. 2). The mothers longed to have their children share in the blessing. The disciples, like many modern disciples, thought the children were beneath the notice of Jesus and rebuked the mothers as they brought them. But while the disciples were displeased with the mothers Jesus was displeased with the disciples (Mark 10:14). None are dearer to Him than the children, and He wishes even the little children ("babes," Luke 18:15, R. V.) brought to Him. A child in its teachableness and humility is just fit to hear and receive the truth of the kingdom, and we must become in this respect as little children if we are to enter the kingdom of heaven (ch. 18:3). Jesus took the children up in His arms (Mark 10:16). Can we doubt that a real blessing came even to their infant hearts in response to the touch of Jesus? How God can work in the heart of a child we do not know, but that He does thus work this passage proves. II. Possessing Many Things, Yet Not Satisfied, 16-20. The young man who came to Jesus had great possessions (v. 22), position (Luke 18:18), culture, exemplary morality (v. 20), a noteworthy amiability (Mark 10:21), intense earnestness (Mark 10:17), undoubted sincerity (Mark 10:21), great moral courage (Mark 10:17), recognized plety (Luke 18:18), noble aspiration (v. 18), benevolence. Yet all these things together did not save him. They will not save any one. His question implied that eternal life is obtained by something we "do." No man ever obtained life by doing (Gal. 2:16). It must be received as a gift (Ro. 6:23). Jesus, by His reply, "Why callest thou Me good" (see Mark 10:18, R. V.), did not mean to imply that He was not good (Jno. 8:46; 14:30; 8:29), but He saw that the young man had no deep sense of the full force of his own words. To say He was good was to say He was God, for no man is good (Mark 10:18), but that He was God the young man did not see. He was superficial, and Jesus sought to bring him to a recognition of his superficiality. Jesus sent the young man to the law because he sought life by doing. The law is the thing to "do" if a man is to get life by doing, but no man has ever done it, so the law serves to shut a man's mouth (Ro. 3:19, 20). What this young man needed was to have his mouth stopped and his pride laid in the dust. Jesus always sends the self-confident to the law. Those who know that they are sinners He sends to the gospel (I TI 1:15). III. Lacking One Thing, and Therefore Lost, 20, 22. "Jesus looking upon him loved him" (Mark 10: 21, R. V.), but Jesus was not pleased with him (cf. Ro. 8: 8). There was, however, a winnowsomeness in his sincerity, eagerness, earnestness and honest, though futile attempt to keep the law. But Jesus love for him did not keep him back from dealing very plainly with him, though that plain dealing caused the young man to turn his back upon Him. It does not seem to the average mind a very serious thing to lack only one thing (Mk. 10: 21). But this lesson teaches us that to lack one thing may be fatal. The one thing he lacked was a supreme love for Jesus Christ. He was willing to do much at Jesus' bidding (v. 16), but not anything and everything. There was one thing that he loved more than Jesus, and that he was not willing to give up at Jesus' bidding: Jesus' purpose in bidding him to sell what he had and to give to the poor was to bring him to see this. Money was his idol, so Jesus put His finger upon that. But the spirit of Jesus' command holds for all His disciples (Luke 14: 33). Jesus usually calls upon those who would come after Him to give something. Love to Him makes it easy to give up anything for Him (2 Cor. 5:14, 15). Jesus told the young man that if he obeyed he would have "treasure in heaven." That is infinitely the best place to have treasure (Matt. 6:19, 20). He was not merely to sell all, but further "come and follow Me." The selling all was simply preparatory to this (1 Cor. 13:3). "He went away sorrowful, it wasn't so much he that had "great possessions," the "great possessions" had him. By turning away from Jesus rather than give up his earthly treasures, he lost eternal treasures and lost his soul. IV. The Dangers of Wealth, 23, 26. Jesus took occasion from this incident to point out the perils of riches (cf. Prov. 30:8, 9; Matt. 13:22; 1 Tit. 6:9, 10). "It is hard," He said, "for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven." The world is full of illustrations of the truth of Jesus' statement. Wealth and piety sedgo hand in hand. Many a man has lost his spirituality as he has increased in wealth. There are few rich men saved (1 Cor. 1:26; Jas. 2:5, 6). Jesus "disciples were astonished at His words" (cf. Mark 10:24). Jesus used a strong figure to illustrate the impossibility of a rich man being saved. Men have told to tone the figure down, but that there is no warrant. Jesus tells them it is possible for God to save a rich man (v. 26). Nothing but the special grace of God can save him. Jesus in meeting the perplexity of His disciples uttered a truth that has great comfort in it, "with God all things are possible" (cf. Gen. 18:14). The disciples in their amazement asked an important question. God has answered this question (Ro. 10:13). The disciples' thought was, if a rich man can't be saved there can't be much hope for anybody. THE OLD RELIABLE DRESSING FOR KINNY OR CURLY HAIR.

BALTIMORE, AUG. 6, 1910 The excursion season has been a very good one so far, at least for the steamboat and railroad people. The usual number of fools are rocking boats this summer and the usual number of people who go out in boats with fools are getting drowned. The water is taking its toll of human lives just now, after a while it will be gasoline, and the fellow that looks for a gas leak with a lighted candle. A few more Becketts would be a very great service around a city like Baltimore. May his number increase. The lynching fever seems not to have abated any at all because of the hot weather. In fact the hot weather seems to favor it. If some of the scientists who love so much to look up the bacteria of disease would look up this bacteria and find a serum for it he would be looked upon with great favor by good thinking people. HYPOCRASY RUN TO SEED. From one end of the country to the other, ever since the Johnson-Jeffries fight, there has been going on a constant agitation against the moving pictures which were intended to tell the tale to those who had the misfortune (?) to be present at the ringside, Governors, mayors, teachers, reformers, (?) and almost every sort of person, white and black, more especially the white folks, have kept up a constant agitation against the showing of these pictures. The pictures have been denounced in all the languages possible to use. They have been called all sorts and kinds of manies, and almost every imaginable evil has been predicted from the exhibition of the same. Judging from what some have had to say, one would almostagine that the whole country would go to the deminition bowwjs if these awful pictures were on exhibition. Now as far as we are concerned would make absolu ely no difference in the world whether they were down or not, for it is exeremely doubtful, whether we would have gone to see them; but there is one thing we have to say about it. There is entirely too much hynoceray about the whole thing, because in every station of life are holding up their hands in holy horror, ministers are d nouncing it from the pulpit, prominent men are speaking against it on the rostrum and in the newspapers, and it is being talked of very where. Now what is the reason for it? Can any one tell? If we call of the protest against the lowing of these pictures were made against the lynching fever now broad in the land lynching would up. Since the Johnson-Jeffries fight, any number of Negroes and one or two white men have been lynched, and yet it has not created a ripple. Not a single minister has denounced it, not a mayor or governor has had a word to say against it, and yet no longer than last week, twenty black men were killed in a so-called race war in Texas. One reported to have been burned to death, and the end is not yet in sight. Mob have hunted down Negro after Negro, and as far as the law is concerned not one has yet had an opportunity to test it. Every Court in the South, every judge, every jailkeeper, every officer of the law is a white man, and yet the Negro is not ever given a chance to prove either his innocence or guilt. Are our white friends afraid to tackle the job, or are they all a set of hypocrites? They cannot help from knowing what is going on all over the country. Surely they cannot plead ignorance in what is patent to every one, why then do they not show the same interest in these murderous mobs as they do in try to prevent the showing of a moving pictures? Pure hypocrasy, nothing more, nothing less. It is bosh of the worst kind. It is seeing not, only and ordinary beam, but one of the hughest proportions in the brother's eye, and the very smallest kind of note in their own eyes. There is one thing, however, which gives us the greatest satisfaction, and it is as true as the sun shines and that summers come and go, and that is "Whatsoever one sows that shall he also reap." And the reaping time always comes. DYING BUT MIGHT LIVE. Those who have had occasion to pass through the crowded districts of our city during this excessively hot period, have witnessed the sweltering and suffering condition of those who inhabit these districts. The aged poor and sick children in the tenement districts present a distressing scene both by day and night. These classes of persons are a perennial burden upon the charities of the city. In the winter the city must go forth and furnish food and fuel and in the summer the city must furnish ice, milk and physicians that life may be preserved where want and heat with decimating hands are removing so many from the stage of action. As we look upon the squallor and misery of the poor in our cities we naturally ask, is there any remedy for this? We are frank to say, yes there is a way out for the poor and miserable if by any means they can be persuaded to take a wise step and go to the farms. If the money spent by the Federated Charities, could be used for a few years in locating and distributing the poor people of our city on the adjacent farmlands of the state and some wise help given them in getting a start, the great mass of poor people in our city who now are a constant charge upon the charity of the city would soon be transformed from beggars to tax payers. But it seems that the social element in the man is so strong that the poor would rather suffer and die in the city than to go to the country and really live with comfort. We have thought that if the managers of the gigantic Rockefeller Foundation were looking about tor a real field of man-making and race building they might become the pioneers in the important work of helping the poor back into the country where in a year or two they will become producers and get off the list of the city poor, who live year after year upon charity. Back to the farm and live! Young men with no certain employment, who are drifting about from one odd job to another, living mainly in the brothels on beer and free lunch might find regular employment a good home, wholesome food and a comfortable life on the farm. Crowds of young men and women swarm up and down our streets hunting for the miserable companionship of the saloon and wearing themselves away in the vices of the brothel company. Back to the farm and live! A WELL KNOWN A Long Period of Activity inThe A. M. E. Church Closes. Special to the African American Leader Washington, D. C., Aug. 3.—The funeral of Rev.

Unification of the two factions is not yet an unaccomplished fact according to John W. Patterson of Washington, attorney for the Mills faction, who was in the city this week. Mr. Patterson declared that there should have been no election of officers as the meeting in Washington last week was only for the purpose of ratifying the peace agreement made in Wilmington, Delaware last January. "Our side." said Mr. Patterson, was willing to concede some things, however, if a nominating committee had been elected. The Atkins' faction has a big suit on hand that may put their Lodge out of business in New York, and the Elks' home down in Virginia may be the cause of trouble. We are for unification still, but in the right way. We intend to hold our Grand Lodge session in Norfolk, Va, next month. Mr. Patterson left on Wednesday morning for New York, where he is to confer with his friend J. Frank Wheaton, the newly elected Grand Exalted Ruler, and he says he will tell him that the Mills' faction holds the whiphand and could smite the Atkin's followers, hip and thigh in the courts.

COWAN, Esq., President In compliance with your request and instructions given me when I sailed tor Africa in January last, on arriving in Africa, I conversed with the persons who have visited the properties which is held by the above company on option. I found that our contracts and deeds are in due form on file and the mines there are registered so that in compliance with your contract your company will own these properties for ninety-nine years. I learned that they are the best on the coast, and the only one obtainable and should be acquired by Americans. The English are working all the other properties in the neighborhood and vicinity of these properties and are striving to secure yours. In my opinion we have a splendid proposition in which millions ought to be made out of it in a very short time. You must not delay, $100,000 should be raised at once, between this and the first of September, if you cannot do this by popular subscription among our people, I would advise you to interest white American capitalist, as it would not do to allow a splendid proposition of this character to slip through our fingers because I am certain that we will not again have an opportunity for many years to come if ever.

I have not said anything about the mode of transportation yet. But put it down that I told you them little cars with them little iron horses she do make some time. They move in a hurry, and all you have to do is to just ride and ride and enjoy yourself. After I had talked to Dr. Robinson a little bit the fellow told us that we were going into Leeds. It was an act of kindness. You see they do not have men to go through and call the stations likes we do in our country, hence a fellow must look out for himself or he will get left. They will just carry you on and on. Another thing there is no checking system, you have to look after your own luggage. A fellow will paste a little slip on it telling where it is going but then you must claim it when you get there. So when we reached Leeds I jumped off claimed the luggage, got it all together, and left Dr. Robinson with it while I walked around to see what I could see. A fine looking gentleman walked up to me with a smile and said "This is Mr. Midnight?" I assured him that I was the pumpkin, and he told me that he was Rev. S. Presley Smith, and that, I was to be his guest during my stay in Leeds, and assured me that he would make me welcome. I carried him around and introduced him to Dr. Robinson, and what a hand shaking they had. Soon a porter had the luggage together and we were on the way to the house. A hackman carried the three of us and all the luggage up for one shilling, and six pence. A shilling is about 24 cents, and six pence is half that amount. I hardly know whether to tell you about Rev. Smith in this letter, or wait until my next letter, because I am going to return to Leeds again, and it would perhaps be of more interest to you to have me wait vntil that time. Now we were soon in the street. Dr Robinson being a little tired remained in, while we went out to see some stores, and make the purchase of a Bible. A lady had placed in my hands $8.00 to buy a Bible for her, and I found an Oxford Bible which cost 12 shillings or the three dollars. Thus I had none of it left. Then we returned to the house, and found Dr. Robinson taking a little sleep. Supper was soon ready, and he was aroused by it. After supper Dr. Smith carried us to see some the sights. Rev. Robinson joined in this. I have not told you in this part of the world they have two-story street cars! For observation we took the up stairs car, and could see all around. They have so many historic churches in England and Scotland, — in feet all over Erpine. The place of interest was the Old Kirkstall Abbey. This magnificent building costing thousands of dollars, was destroyed with the destruction of the monastery years and years ago. The sins of the Monks and others led to this, and the top of the building was knocked off by soldiers, and in this condition the building remains today. The Abbey was founded in 1147, and then there is a whole history connected with it. The people lived in luxury, that is the big people. I leave this off and if I have the time I will write about it in another letter. After so much walk, Dr. Iobinson was tired, so I told Dr. Smith to carry him to the room and I would continue investigating. Even in my old age I wanted to get around. "Do you think you can find the way back?" he asked. "I can find anything in town." I went over to where several hundred and perhaps a thousand people including children were attending what we can call a street fair. I walked in, and in about 10 minutes everybody had left the show and had gathered around me. I walked up to one of the men and told him it would pay him to hire me to draw the crowd, and he was ready to talk business at once. He wanted to know what I would charge. As I walked from place to place the crowd followed me. The ladies walked up and shook hands with me, invited me to have refreshments with them, and wanted me to go home with them for supper, and some wanted me to visit them. They were in earnest, but I could not think of going. At last I started for the street car and they started with me. The whole crowd followed me to the car, and when I got on I wish you could have seen the wailing of the wainchiefs and shouting. I received a Boosevelt reception at this place at any rate. I then went into the city and continued looking around. I met a man who invited me to take a drink with him. I informed him I was a Christian and did not drink. He wanted me to go to visit some ladies and hear some music. I told him I did not go into music halls after a night, then he invited me to give him a shilling. and I informed him that I did not give away money. I returned to the house about 11 o'clock at night, talked awhile with the Rev. Dr. Smith and then went to bed for the night. Early the next morning I was up, the next to arrange for tickets to the continent, also to leave the city. I went down to Cook's, while Dr. Robinson went with Rev. Smith to get to the stable. I got my ticket and paid for it, and in a few minutes we were off for London. Reached London about 2:25 in the afternoon. I shall now leave you until my next letter when I shall say just a few things about London, and then turn attention to another letter. I shall write to you from London. DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.

SCQTFT - In sad but loving remembrance of our dear beloved mother, Martha A. Scott, who departed this life one year ago today, August 4th, 1900, at 6 A.M. Mother you were so wondrous precious to my heart, And your love knew no measure, mother mine; It was, indeed, of God's dear love apart a happiness that seemed almost divine. O, mother darling, if you could come now, and let me hear the sound of your sweet voice. And sometimes smooth your hair and kiss your brow. How all my soul with gladness would rejoice. I'd strive to bring more smiles into your life. And seek always to brighten your each hour. I'd keep from you all weariness and strife Each day should be sweet as a fresh plucked flower; Nothing should ever come between our hearts, as nothing ever has or ever can. Ay, death but added strength to love imparts And brings souls nearer God's eternal plan. How well I can recall your tender smile Your gentle tones filled with carrressing love, So free from every thought of selfish guile. gun. How good if was to hear your words approve; But you have left us; vacant is the place Within our lives, so wonderfully you filled: No more we see each day your lovely face. For heaven's welcoming choir your has thrilled. And we can only hope to find you there, Where you are waiting, patient as of old. To meet the children of your love and prayer. And then, once more, to your dear bosom fold. And so I come with hastening, hurrying feet, to live always near your perfect love, Which was on earth so gracious and complete; O how entrancing it shall be above! For mother dear, I am your own child still. And love you just as much as long ago When your sweet loyalty made my heart thrill With childish joy and kept away all But just a place where once your good came. And where I now a little longer roam. By her devoted husband and children. 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 Hattie and Maggie Parker.

The Dentist's Joke At a recent dinner of the Author's club in London to Mr. Owen Seaman, the editor of Punch, Mr. Walter Emanuel, another member of the staff of Punch, referred to the fact that the man with the largest sense of humor he had ever struck was an Englishman dentist. He went to him, after suffering long with the toothache. He refused to have gas, and the dentist pulled out a tooth, leaving him writening in pain, and took the tooth to the window, where he laughed quite heartily. He groaned, "What's the joke?" "Wrong tooth," said the dentist. There Should: Fritz the gardener was a stolid German who was rarely moved to extraordinary language.

He was sleepy, and the train being crowded, the baggeman gave him a chair in his roomy car. Finally the train reached Bloomfield. Fritz still slept as it pulled in and his friend had to shake him and tell him where he was. "I tanks you," said Fritz, as he rose slowly to his feet. The open door of the car was directly in front of him. He walked straight out of it. The baggeman sprang to look after him.

Classed With A Group of Capable Men Who Have Won Distinction by Persistent Effort, Whitefield McKinlay, Plain Business Man and Peaceable Citizen, Has Come Into His Own. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. The center of the business community in Washington, or, in other words, the "Wall street" of the nation's capital, is that small area on F street extending from Ninth to Fifteenth streets. In one of the busy buildings in this district, at 924 F street, one will see, painted on the glass door, the modest, sign, "Whitefield McKinlay, Real Estate." Whitefield McKinlay is the much talked about colored man who is now in the spotlight because President Taft has selected him for the responsible position as collector of customs for the port of Georgetown, D.C. A lucrative federal position is this, with salary and fees amounting to $5,000 per annum. In F street, Mr. McKinli is known as a safe and reliable business man. Here for nearly a quarter of a century he has carried on a successful real estate business. he is better known and better liked in the "street." In the banks, at the business houses, around the financial centers than any other colored man in Washington. The story of Mr. McKinli's life is but the rehearsal of that oft repeated, oft enacted story of the southern bor coming east and making good. Terrell, a federal judge in Washington; Lewis an assistant district attorney at Boston; Fortune, a metropolitan journalist; McDougall, Wilford Smith and Douglas Wetmore, New York lawyers; Cobb, an assistant dis HON. WHITEFIELD M'KINGAY. trict attorney in Washington, are some of the many lads from "land known in song and story as the land of Dixie" who have "made good" in the strenuous east. And so has Whitefield McKinlay. McKinlay is a busy and hustling man about fifty years of age. If you want to find out anything about him about his life work, you'd better see his friends, because Whitefield McKinlay, though possessing a most enviable name, as a business man and as a gentleman is not the man to blow his own born. His friends, however, will tell you that he is a man of parts. He was born in South Carolina, educated in the University of South Carolina and Iowa college. At one time he was a cadet at the United States Military academy, West Point. He came to Washington in 1884 and soon afterward entered the real estate business and has been engaged in it ever since. When word reached Washington from Beverly, Mass., that President Taft had decided to select Mr. McKinlay for the position the evening papers of Washington gave prominent space to the announcement, with first page leaders. The Washington Post carried a cut of Mr. McKinlay, and the Washington Herald had a complimentary editorial. Although not an active politician, Mr. McKinlay has always been a consistent Republican. While he has never sought office himself, he has been very instrumental on different occasions in helping other colored men to secure offices. When a reporter called upon Mr. McKinlay, he found the new collector to be busy receiving the congratulations of his friends. On his desk were two large stacks of letters of congratulations. The office is one of the best paying federal positions in the district. Mr. McKinlay will enter upon the duties of the office with the best wishes of officeholders or office seekers regardless of political party lines. WISE BUSINESS MOVEMENT. People's Auditorium Company Indorsed by Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmort. By N. BARNETT DOD50N. The People's Auditorium Company of Brooklyn, which was founded by Miss Irene L. Moorman, is incorporated under the laws of the state of New York; and has a capital stock of $100,000. The object of the company is to raise sufficient funds to erect an auditorium building large enough for the accommodation of the great number of secret and benevolent societies and for business offices. This is a move in the right direction and ought to meet a hearty response from our people. It has become a hard matter already to secure suitable places for such purposes even at high rentals, and in the majority of cases the accommodations are not in keeping with healthy sanitary requirements. Under such a concern as the People's Auditorium company plans might be perfected whereby either individuals or corporate bodies could safely invest in amounts which would soon enable the company to proceed with the erection of a desirable building. There are several wealthy and influential white persons interested in the work which Miss Moorman is doing, one of whom is Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont of New York. Mrs. Belmont is president of the Political Equality association. In a recent letter to Miss Moorman Mrs. Belmont said: Dear Miss Moorman-I have been examining the literature of the People's Auditorium company and investigating the probabilities of the ultimate success of which you are fostering. I am writing this note to say that I believe you are going not lightly to work for the future, a work that the people ought cheerfully to support by financial and moral assistance. The erection of such a building-as you seek to erect will be a towering witness alike to you and to the organizing ability of your race, affording a center for the manifold and still expanding activities of your unbound success. Sincerely yours. MRS. OLIVER H. P. BELMONT. EFFECTIVE LAWS DRAWN BY AFRC-AMERICANS. Will Protect Both Races—Smith and Eubanks Their Authors. With reference to the recent disturbance at Newark, O., in which a special detective in the interests of the suppression of the liquor traffic lost his life at the hands of a rabid mob, says the Pittsburgh Courier, it is pertinent to note that the law by which the relatives of the deceased will receive from the county $5,000 was drafted by and passed through the efforts of the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, O., during his term as state legislator. The law under which the sheriff and the mayor will be deposed was drafted by and passed through the efforts of State Legislator Eubanks, also of Cleveland. It is also pertinent to note that both of these laws were enacted after the disgraceful affair at Urbann, in which a Negro was lynched for a supposed crime. It is a question as to whether the governor of the great state of Ohio in his action in accordance with these enactments will direct the attention of his colleagues to the fact that they are of Afro-American origin and intended originally for the protection of Afro-Americans at the hands of a rabid mob. And thus we see that what was intended for the protection of a Negro will also be used in a similar way for his white brother. MEETING OF WOMEN'S CLUBS New York State Federation - Holds Splendid Session at Geneva. The second annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs recently held in Geneva, N. Y., was attended by large delegations of clubwomen from all sections of the state. There were several able papers on important subjects read and discussed. How to improve and make the home attractive, how to interest more women in neighborhood and social settlement work, were among some of the many questions considered. The federation was in session two days. The reports from the various clubs were interesting and showed that much active work had been done. The president of the state organization, Mrs. Frances R. Keyser of New York, is a woman of large experience and particularly fitted for the exacting duties of her office. She was re-elected. The other officers are: Vice president, Mrs. A. E. Ambush, Geneva; secretary, Miss H. Cordella Ray, Woodside, N. Y.; treasurer, Miss Adena C. Ninnott, New York; chairman executive committee, Mrs. W. H. Talbert, Buffalo; organizer, Mrs. M. J. Stuart. Mecca of Negro Thrift and Industry. As an inclination of the thrift and industry of our people in Greenshore, N. C., we call attention to the new three story business building on East Market street, known as the Suggs block. On the first floor are a grocery store, a drug store, millinery, a manicuring and a dressmaking establishment and a shoe store. The second floor is used entirely for offices, in which are five physicians, a dentist, an insurance company and a firm of architects and contractors. On the third floor are two lodge halls in which twenty two lodges and civic or MINES AND BURIED TREASURES DISCOVERED. The mineral wealth of the South has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, iron and copper have been discovered by 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 mines 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. Understand, however, that the Prospectors agency of Palmyra, Pa, handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be good 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. A. Agency, 128 2nd St. Palmyra, Pa. "TOO RISKY FOR THE MISSUS." "We were hunting with flashlight and camera on the calm waters of a far away lake in the woods of northern New Brunswick," says a correspondent of Country Life in America. "It was nearly midnight, and we were stealing quietly along in our canoe when our guide suddenly whispered: "You take the missus out of this canoe and I'll paddle you up to that bull moose so you can rub his nose you want to. I am not a mite scared and I don't want you to think I am, only I have had one experience with a woman in my canoe night hunting this summer and I don't want another." "Charlie was considerably vexed, for I had intimated that he was afraid. Again and again I had urged him to paddle up to within twenty feet of a certain bull moose that had been standing knee deep in the water. His huge head and antlers were nearly submerged for a greater part of the time as he searched for the tender stems of the white water crowfoot, an aquatic plant that grows in abundance on the muddy bottoms of these northern ponds. "I had taken his picture three times, and on each occasion, in spite of my directions to put the canoe nearer, Charlie had stopped fully fifty feet away—too far off, I feared, to get anything but a very small picture with my five inch lens. "You see," Charlie went on to explain, "Adam and I had a gentleman and two ladies out in a canoe one night not long ago. They wanted to see what the moose were doing after dark. We put the canoe close up to a big bull that was standing in the shoal waters at the narrows. Adam was paddling and I had the jack. We looked the fellow over for a few minutes, then started for the inlet. It is a pretty narrow place up there, and we had to pass within ten feet of him. He was standing side to, and was looking into the bushes. "Just as we came abreast of him some one whispered: "Throw the light on him! Let us see what he looks like sideways." We never had time to find out, for when the light struck him he turned like a flash and jumped clean over the canoe, hitting the gentleman on the shoulder, and the next thing we knew we were all floundering about in the lake. It was a lucky thing that the water was not very deep or somebody might have been drowned. No one was badly hurt, but the sportsman was pretty lame for a few days. "And now," said Charlie, in conclusion, "do you want anything like that to happen to the missus?" "We were quite willing now to let the guide have his own way and to view the animals from a respectful distance. Later experience, however, taught us that, by taking proper precautions with the jack light one can without danger approach to within a few feet of a moose." THE STORY OF IKEY. A few months ago I bought a little rabbit from a boy. I selected him from a litter of twenty, and he looked more like a little pig than a rabbit, his fur being entirely black except for a white ring around his nose if he wasn't a beauty, he soon convinced us that he was a clever, intelligent, dear little creature. We named him Ikey, because he had such an alert way with him. He had such cute tricks, even when he was very tiny. One was to run from one person to another and hose into every pocket to see if he could find some delicate bit. His sense of smell was so acute he could instantly detect who had his supply. He was a very inquisitive rabbit, and so occasionally got himself into trouble. One day he gave me fright. Hearing a peculiar l the parlor, I ran in there and Ikey suspended in the air and kick... violently. He had pushed his long face through the knotted fringe and hung himself. There was no time to be lost in untying the knot, so I seized a knife and cut the fringe and freed Ikey. When he had panted a bit he was ready for some fresh mischief—Henry Loughman, in the New York Tribune.

"Joe" Gans, but the shadow of his former self when he was the champion lightweight pugilist, is expected in the city today or tomorrow, in order, as he says, "to die in the arms of his mother." "Joe" has been out in Arizona, where he had hoped to battle successfully with the dread disease, tuberculosis, but he went too late to do him any good. His mother, who lives at 1026 Argyle avenue, in a house given by her son, was all hope until last week, when she received a telegram stating that her "Joe" was sinking. Since then her eyes are constantly filled with tears and she has prepared "Joe's" room for him with the greatest of care. He "brought home the bacon" in the past, but this time he will bring home but a shadow of a fine specimen of physical manhood. During his illness his wife has been his constant and faithful attendant. "Joe" is a member of the Monumental Lodge of Elks, and at the meeting of the Lodge this week, much sorrow was expressed for the man who helped to make Baltimore famous. Miss Grace Dorsey died at the Maryland General Hospital last Friday from acute Brights disease. She went to visit Mrs. Joseph E. Myers, of 1028 Argyle avenue, and had no sooner entered the house when she fell down the basement steps in a faint. She was taken to the hospital where her case was diagnosed as one of aggravated kidney trouble. The deceased was 91 years of age and was never married. She had been a faithful member of the Madison Street Presbyterian Church for many years. Funeral services were conducted at the Madison Street Presbyterian Church last Sunday, by Rev. W. Edward Williams, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church. Interment was in Laurel Gemetery. Rev. John W. Widgeon was ordained to the ministry at Leadenhall Street Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. The ordination was preached by Rev. Dr. G. R. Waller. Rev. Dr. A. Brown delivered the charge, and Rev. Pollard extended the hand of fellowship. Rev. Widgeon is an authority on the flora and fauna of Maryland, and for a number of years has been connected with the Maryland Academy of Sciences. He will pastor the Baptist Church at Fairfield, Md. The church was founded by him and built through his efforts. J. Frank Wheaton, the newly elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the Grand Lodge of Elks, spent several days in the city this week renewing old friendships. Mr. Wheaton is a native of Maryland, having first seen the light of day at Hagerstown in 1866. He became interested in politics just after he had reached his majority and in 1888 was an alternate delegate from the Sixth Congressional District to the Republican National convention. He studied law at the University of Minnesota and some years ago was a member of the Minnesota Legislature. For the past ten years he has practised his profession in New York City.
