The convention was a successful and a strenuous one with entire absence of the cut-and-dried. There was full freedom of speech and some wordy contests, especially when Prof Du Bois, head of the Niagara Movement, became a candidate for the presidency. But harmony always eventually prevailed. The two public evening sessions at the Price Memorial A. M. E. Zion church, where all the sessions were held, drew large audiences which packed the auditorium and applauded the speakers until midnight. The speakers Thursday night were Pres. A. Walters, who in his annual address declared for political emancipation, saying the Republican party was as bad as the Democratic in that it acquiesced in what the southern Democrats did and that unless one of these parties changed colored men would join with other men for a new party: Prof. Du Bois, on votig; Rev. J. M. Waldron, on "Why Colored men Should Be Independent in Voting;" Rev. S. L. Corrothers, who eloquently deproned Pres. Tatty's policies and urged defeating Republican congressman; and N. B. Marshall, Esq., junior counsel for the soldiers, who reviewed all the Brownsville inquiries and made amazing revelations of attempted intimidation, unfairness, partiality, improper proposals, protection of perjured government witnesses, etc., by Recorder of the Court Howard, and said this would be exposed in the next congress. Many Ohioans are clamoring for Foraker's return to the senate next March. On Friday night the speakers were W. F. S. Gook, son of Capt. Cook, who was hung with John Brown; Dr. J. L. Johnson of Ohio, who commanded Gov. Harmon; Francis H. Warren, E.q. editor of Detroit Informer, on "History of Political Independence," Mr. E. Walling of New York, executive chairman of the National Association for the Welfare of the Colored People, who said his organization simply wanted to help Colored organizations, and that the laboring classes were moving for political independence; and J. M. Summers, Esq. of Ohio. Governors Harmon of Ohio and Deeen of Illinois, were commended for their course against lynching, harmony among the race-rights organizations was urged and a hearing for Rev.

CALLS AT THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN OLD LONDON AND AMBASSADOR WHITE LAW REID GLADLY RECEIVES THE "GENTLEMAN FROM AMERICA" Arrives In London And Stops At A Hotel Which Advertises "No Tips."—Finding A Room For Dr. Robinson Was A Task. Attends A Performance Of Richard III To See How It Is Played In London—Attends Divine Service In Spurgeon's Tabernacle. London, England.—Here I am today in the largest city in the world, and I think it is getting time that I will have to bring my letters to an end, for it will take a long time to publish them all unless Editor Murphy will be able to put them together. In my last letter I was in Leeds, getting ready to start for London, and it was Saturday about 10 o'clock when we got on the Midland carriage for London. I tell you that train did do some running. Made the 198 miles in four hours, and did not seem tired. When we got in London there were many carriages but we desired to take a taxicab or something like that. It is a thing that goes without a horse, but makes good time just the same. We got in. I had telegraphed for a room in the Strand Palace hotel, Dr. Robinson, thinking that he would spend Sunday in Leeds, so went to the hotel, and found that they had reserved the one room only, while the other room for Dr. Robinson could not be had. This is one of the first-class hotels in London, and advertises "No tins." Now to find a room for Dr. Robinson was a task, because it seemed that all the hotels were crowded, but at last I found him one but a short distance from where I was, and then that was settled. I took an upstairs car and went out sight seeing, returning, I went with some of the men to see Richard III, which was being played by a young man named Evans. You see I am a good old Baptist and do not believe in going to the剧院, but I went this time, and as I was in England I thought it would not be considered much harm since I have been to one in America. It was an enjoyable evening. Returning to the hotel, I met some friends who desired to have me go out for a ride with them, and I accepted the invitation. It was a fine ride, and I enjoyed it very much. It was joy to get the cool breeze. Returning to the hotel we had lunch, and then I went up for a bath, getting through, I went to sleep until Sunday morning. Sunday morning we went to Spurgeon Tabernacle to hear the word of God preached. The church was not so much crowded. It is not what it was at one time, and the people all realize this. I went in after a long walk, had lunch and in the afternoon I weed to Wcstminster Abbey. I am sure that you are posted on this wonderful building, so I need not enter into it. I am cutting out all historical events. Already some of my friends have been after me to write a book, they say if I will give the information they will put it in order and let me have it. I am considering this wonderful offer and it may fall my lot to comply with their request. It would be hard for me to tell you the whole Sunday experience. I went to call on some of the dignitaries, and even went to see the American Embassador Hon. Whiteclaw Reid, and he made me welcome for a few minutes. I felt that I was some pumkins, and did not get to see all that I desired to see. Monday morning I started out for Belgium, France, Germany and other places. After breakfast I called a taxi cab to tote me to the stable to get in the carriage, but behold that fellow carried me to the wrong place, and when I found it out it was too late to make the train, hence I had to return to the hotel, and have my lunch, then take in other places. After lunch I went around to see some of the town. At 2:20 I was on the train off for Dover. I changed my ticket from second class to first-class, for reasons which will not explain in this letter. Dover is a seaport town in England and the place where you step off the English channel to go to France, Belgium. I selected to go to Belgium first. A man grabbed my suit case and got totted it on the boat. I got on and, of ed around and found that all provision had been made for sea sickness. People are expected to be sick, when the cross the English channel, because so choppy and always rough. Pleas vessels for sickness and the like. I go a seat and cal ed or got around me.

HIS CHANCES OF RECOVERY ARE GOOD. Tragedy Occurred on Board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse — "Big Bill" Edwards, Former Princeton Football Star, Saves the Mayot's Life—Prisoner is Defiant. The Victim WILLIAM J. GAYNOR, Mayor of New York, who has corrected many time-honored political abuses and given the city a business administration. Gaynor says: "Tell the people goodby," and later, "it is very strange, very strange. I wonder why he did it?" The Assassin JAMES J. GALLAGHER, political hanger-on and discharged watchman, formerly employed in the New York City Dock Department. Gallagher says: "He took the bread and butter out of my mouth. I'm sorry I didn't kill him right off. I hope he croaks. I had to get him." New York (Special)—William J. Gaynor mayor of New York city, was shot in the head and seriously wounded Tuesday morning as he stood on the promo made deck of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse by James J. Gallagher, discharged and discharged city employee. Gallagher was almost instantly overpowered and arrested. The shot was fired at 9:45 a.m. m. 15 minutes before the Kaiser Wilhelm derrosse was due to leave her pier at Hoboken, N. J., and the Mayor was receiving godsped from a group of friends preparatory to a vacation trip to Europe. The bullet struck him behind the right arm and ranged downward, inflicting a dangerous, though not necessarily fatal wound. And unless blood-poison develops surgeons are hopeful of the Mayor's recovery, although at his age—50 years—such a wound is essentially grave. The mayor is at St. Mary's Hospital, Hoboken, surrounded by specialists, with members of his family gathered near, waiting the outcome with anxiety. Allarly reports from the hospital were reported in tone, and in the evening six Nay negatives of the wound were taken to acillate an operation for the removal of the bullet. Gallagher, the assassin, is locked in a cell at Jersey City, held without bail, he expresses no remorse. Shows Great Fortitude. Rarely has a wounded man evinced more fortitude and cleverness than did William J. Gavnor. He evidently thought he was being carried down the comparonway from the ship on a stretcher at his wound was fatal, for he smiled sinfully and to those near him: "the people good-bye." To his wife and son, Bufus, he said at the hospital later: "It - very strange, very strange. I wonder why he did it?" But at no time did he express ill-feeling toward the man who would have killed him. And that he looked calmly in the ever-present prospect of assassination is indicated in the tone of a recent letter to a citizen who had warned him of the danger of going in the subway without an escort. To this solicitous friend, Davies Weinblatt, a lawyer, he wrote on March 22, 1917. "My Dear Mr. Weighallt: I thank you very much for your letter; but I have no fear about going out alone. I do not think anyone would do me any arm unless he was a lunatic, and it is hard to guard against lunatics." "Gallagher, judging by appearances and customs, is not a lunatic. His mind is愤然 as sound as any man's of 50 A years, but he has nourished in his heart a hatred for Mayor Gaynor ever since he was discharged as a night watchman in the Department of Docks and carries in last July for incompetency. 375 FEET TO DEATH.

FLAMES CUT OFF EXIT SEVEN PEOPLE ROASTED Suffocated By Smoke in Their Beds. TWO WERE INJURED IN ESCAPING The Owner and His Family, Who Occupied Rooms on the Ground Floor, Escaped By Climbing Through the Windows to the Street—Two Victims Women. New York (Special)—Seven lives were lost in a fire which destroyed a threestory lodging-house in the foreign section of Jamaica, L. I. The blaze started in a hallway, the only exit, and spread so rapidly that few of the inmates had any opportunity to escape. The lodging-house was occupied for the most part by poor workmen employed in the neighborhood. The owner, Georgia Dunbek, and his family, who occupied rooms on the ground floor, escaped by climbing through the windows to the street. The dead—five men and two women—were all foreigners. They were asleep at the time and were all suffocated by smoke as they lay in their beds. The property loss will not exceed $1,500. Two persons were injured in escaping Stephen Mareus, a farmer, 35 years old, jumped from the window of his room on the third floor and was taken to a hospital suffering from concussion of the brain and internal injuries. B. D. Tague, a laborer, was badly burned and partially suffocated by smoke. A passerby who discovered the fire turned in the alarm and called a policeman, who found the hallway closed by a wall of flame. In the backyard he came upon Dunbek, dazed and panicky, wringing his hands in the midst of his family of six or seven. Apparently they had not yet given a thought to the lodgers who had been trapped on the upper floors. "Is everybody out?" asked the police man. Dunbeg shook his head. He did not know. He had seen two or three of his lodgers drop to the street from second floor windows—whether all were safe or not he did not know. There had been about 15 lodgers in the house that night, he thought. Baseball in Heaven. Mattapoisett, Mass. (Special)—"Baseball in Heaven," was the subject of a sermon preached Sunday by the Rev. C. Julian Tuthill, pastor of the Congregational Church. It said in part: "Heaven is but an evolution of this world. A Christian may love a ball game and, loving it, remain a Christian. Why, then, is it not safe to prophesy that even the game of baseball will have its place in some spiritual form in heaven?" Lightning Kills Three. Schenectady, N. Y.

But they can see the white cats come together in a collision, then untangle and rip it over the footlights, not sparing drums, drummer, or anything that blocked the way. It's the time of the hydrophobia scare; and a woman down front, whose hat is carried away in the rush, yells, 'Mad dog.' You can't blame the people for getting worked up, seeing that the rat and the cats is streaking it over the house, between people's legs, over chairs and people regardless. There's no telling how far the panic would of gone, only the rat sailed along the edge of a private box, jumped for the stage, and made the prop-room with the cats close and running well. We shut the door and kept the whole business in, while the cat professor made a speech to quiet the audience." "Did they get the rat?" asked the sad man. "I don't know," he replied.

We trample the earth until it becomes hard under our feet instead of permitting it to become rich and fertile. We rush headlong over delicate growths, instead of tenderly and piously fostering them. Riding one day over the plains at the end of a long detachment of men, General Custer made a sudden change of direction at the head of the column. As the men reached a certain point they rode off to the right, rank after rank, as if an invisible hand had smitten them out of their course. The curiosity of those at the rear of the line was excited, and as they approached the point they looked carefully to see what had caused the change of direction, and they found in the desert a bird's nest full of tiny eggs.

No applicant for instruction who could pay his fees or sign his note was turned down. State boards were not as yet in existence. The school diploma was itself a license to practice. The examinations—brief, oral, and secret—blocked almost none at all; even at Harvard, a student for whom a majority of nine professors 'voted' was passed. The man who had settled his tuition bill was thus practically assured of his degree, whether he had regularly attended lectures or not.

HE ENDS HIS LIFE WITH A BULLET Gamaliel Bradford, Third Descendant of First Governor of Plymouth Colony and Brilliant Student, Pleads in Vain to Girl to Forsake Another and Marry Him South Framingham, Mass. (Special).—With a copy of Byron's poems beside him, Gamalliel Bradford, Third, of Wellesley Hills, direct descendant of William Bradford, first governor of the Plymouth Colony, and a member of the graduating class of 1910 at Harvard, shot himself to death at a local hotel, because the girl loved and who is engaged to another, had refused him. Bradford was 23 years old and the course of his young passion broke the stern barrier of long generations of Puritan repression when he begged the young woman he loved to break her engagement to another man. His pleidings were made at the railroad station here, and concealing his agitation at the young lady's refusal, Bradford walked directly to a nearby hotel, engaged a room and, saying he was tired, locked himself in. Within half an hour four shots were heard. When hotel employees broke down the door of the young man's room he was found lying on the floor unconscious from a wound in his head. The other three shots, fire wildly, left their marks about the apartment. News of the shooting reached the young woman who had rejected him and she fainted. But upon recovery she begged to go to Bradford's bedside at the hospital, where he was taken, and there she remained until he died, a few hours later, unconscious to the end. Gamaliel Bradford second, the youth's father, and a widely-known author, said his son had long brooded over his love affairs and the family had feared such a result. NOT ASSASSINATED A Mayor Bousman Believed to Have Blown Himself Up. Ronoke, Va. (Special).—Mayer H. A. Bousman, of Ridgeway, a small town in Henry county, 60 miles south of Ronoke, on the Norfolk and Western Railway, who had both his legs blown off by dynamite while lying under a tree on the lawn of his yard Sunday night, July 24, and died several hours later, was not assassinated. The Mayor killed himself in attempting to blow off his feet, so that he might secure $6,000 accident insurance, to save himself and family from poverty. Detective Joseph Funk, of the Baldwin Detective Agency, of Ronoke, the chief detective working on the case, after following numerous clues, decided that Bousman himself set off the dynamite that caused his death, and he so officially reported to the Town Council of Ridgeway and his report has been accepted by the members of the council and by Bousman's friends generally. It has developed that Bousman was involved financially, two life policies, one for $1,000 and another for twice that amount were also taken out a short time ago. Bousman giving his notes for the premiums. It is believed all the policies will be paid. While the evidence that he was the victim of his own act convicts the public mind, it can hardly be put before a jury in such shape to prove legally that his policies are forfeited. Detective Funk believes Bousman held the stick of dynamite between his legs and lighted the fuse with his burning cigar. TWO PRESIDENTS MEET. Chili's Chief Magistrate Calls Upon Taft at Beverly. Beverly, Mass. (Special).—The President of the United States and the President of Chili met here with an exchange of formalities that were cordially informal. Occurring as it did in the quiet and secluded precincts of Burgess Point, where Mr. Taft's model-t summer cottage is located, the meeting was robbed of much of the pump and circumstances that would have been the case in Washington or in any other capitol. A The only suggestion of military ceremony came from the guns of the Presidential yacht Mayflower, which conveyed President Taft and Mrs. Mountt and several members of their suite from Boston to Beverly and paid them due honors. President and Mrs. Taft entertained the Chilean chief executive and his wife at luncheon. The other guests included the Secretary of State, Mr. Knox; Governor Draper and Mrs. Draper; Miss Mabel Boardman, president of the American Red Cross; the Chilean charge of AFFAIRS, Mr. Yuniam; Brigadier General Carter and Secretary Charles D.

'Chairs' were therefore valuable pieces of property, their prices varying with what was termed their 'reflex' value; only They Were Preferred By Representative Bartholdt and Have Been Submitted for Approval to State Department—The Subjects to Be Discussed. Washington, D. C. (Special):—The American group of delegates to the conference of the Interparliamentary Union, at Brussels, August 29 to September 2, sailed from New York Tuesday. They will present several resolutions looking toward the establishment of permanent peace between the nations of the world. These were submitted to the State Department by Representative Richard Bartholdt, ow Missouri, chairman of the American group. One of the resolutions will ask the conference to request governments which are signatory to The Hague Peace Conference and the London Naval Conference to sanction the American proposition that the international prize court invested with the jurisdiction of an international court of arbitral justice. Another resolution will ask the conference to request each of the governments represented to appoint a commission, analogous to that recently appointed by the United States. These commissions would report to their respective parliaments, prior to the third Hague Peace Conference in 1915, a well-defined scheme looking to the perfection of a system of world federation, in addition to an international judiciary. The object of submitting the resolutions to the State Department was to prevent any possible conflict of opinion with the department on questions of international peace. The American delegation consists of Representative Bartholtt, of Missouri, chairman; Senator Burten, of Ohio; Flint, of California, and Smith, of Michigan; Representatives Keifer, of Ohio; Moon, Barchfeld, Burke and Wheeler, of Pennsylvania; Richardson, of Alabama; Hanna, of North Dakota; Fairchild, Cox and Goldfogle, of New York; Parker and Kinkaid, of New Jersey, and Delegate Larrivaga, of Porto Rico. Chirman Bartholtt will make the principal address in support of the American propositions. Representative Keifer will speak, on the subject of fortification of the Panama Canal, to which work he is opposed. All of the American delegates, Chairman Bartholtt said, were opposed to the spending of millions of dollars in fortifying the canal. SLUMP IN AUTO BUSINESS Bottom Seems to Have Dropped Out Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts of Manufacturers. New York.—Indications point to the bottom having fallen out of the automobile business. The manufacturers, it is reported in trade circles, are making strenuous efforts to keep up a show of continued prosperity, but it is also said that they are not selling their product, but are storing machines throughout the country at their various agencies to prevent the public realizing the true conditions of the market. Several large concerns are laying off men and giving all sorts of reasons for so doing except the statement that they are overstocked. Two or three of the largest factories recently closed entirely, ostensibly for the purpose of taking inventory, but the workmen were not given any definite time at which to again report for work, and it is not expected that these factories will again be in operation this year. A well-known automobile agent of this city said yesterday that all cars would undoubtedly be selling at from 25 per cent, to 50 per cent, less than present list prices within the next two or three months. He added: "The trouble with the automobile business is that the farmers and people of the smaller cities and towns have not taken as kindly to the idea as was anticipated. The farmers find that the cost of keeping them in repair and operation is more than the cost of keeping horses to perform the same work, and while there was, for a time, a tendency among the farmers to invest in the machines, the demand for cars from this class of buyers has practically stopped, and I venture to say we will not again sell to the farmers to any extent until prices are materially reduced." THE FIRST WOMAN POLICE Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells Will Patrol Los Angeles. Los Angels, Cal. (Special)—The office of "policewoman," which was created by a recent ordinance, will be filled at once by the police commission. Mrs., Alice Stubbins Wells, formerly of Chicago, whose earnest and persistent work, backed by ministers and clubwomen of Los Angeles, caused the creation of the office, will receive the appointment. She will be the first woman to hold a position of this kind in Southern California. Mrs. Wells discussed her plans for filling the position. "My field of work will be chiefly wherever young people gather for entertainment in parks, penny arcades, moving picture shows and dance halls," she said. "I will deal chiefly with the proprietors of such places, seeing that all laws are obeyed, and that the places are kept clean and moral. In the dance balls I may find it necessary to talk to some of the young people personally." 500 Sec Man. Kill Himself. St. Louis (Special).—A man identified from papers in his pockets as Henry E. Wasson, formerly traveling auditor of the Missouri Pacific, who has been missing from his home in Leavenworth, Karr, shot and killed himself on the baseball grounds of Carondelet Park. Wasson's brother-in-law had asked the police to assist him in searching for Wasson. Five hundred picknickers saw the man kill himself.

Better get it pretty soon for vacation time will soon be over. The personal column is booming these days. Folks want to let folks know that they are doing the summering places. Jersey justice should be short and built with the intended murderer of Mayor Gaynor. The sooner this class of individuals understand that there will be no delay in railroading them to prison with hard work back of it the sooner they will come to the conclusion that it won't pay to do this kind of trick. We often hear young men complaining that there is no opportunity opened to them to get a decent thing after coming out of school. I have ootur thought that there are plenty of opportunities lying round loose waiting for some one pick them up. Mr. W. H. J. Beckett had the same idea. Instead of waiting for opportunity to come to him, he n't after opportunity and got a triangle hold on it and now has opportunities hunting for him. Instead of beating along ruts he hitched out into a new field and the result is that it not being overcrowded he is enabled to take the best offered while others are beginning that the places they are looking after are either already occupied or too long standing. As we read on a card sometime too, "do not sit down and wait for a cow to come up and be milked, cup up and go after the cow." REMARKABLE MAN AND A REMARKABLE WORK. Among the many good and strong addresses made at the late Hampden Conference, was one by the venant Archdeacon James S. Russell principal of St. Paul's School, Lawville, Va. Possibly, there is no more interesting story of coercion work and achievement among prominent colored leaders than at which centers, around Archdeacon Russell. To begin with Archdeacon Russell was not "born in the hiscopic Church." When a young man, from the rural districts of Coldenburg county Virginia, and undergraduate of the Hampton school in the year 1878, he went own to Petersburg where he enter the training school for the Episcopal ministry. In 1882 he was origned a deacon, and went to forth to work. He was sent to Lawville in Brunswick, where he remained to this day. Brunswick is right in the very heart of the black Belt, "and in all the adjacnt counties there was no such institution as a "Colored Episcopal church." Lawrenceville, he organized St. Paul's, his first church. Today, through his labors and great influence there are six colored Episcopal churches alone in the county of Brunswick; seven in Mechlenburg, and three each in Lunenburg and Dinwiddie county, all adjoining the county in which he resides. In addition he has built up at Lawrenceville, the largest Negro institution under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, having in attendance about five hundred pupils, being an industrial school after the model of Hampton. About six years ago he instituted among the colored farmers of the county, an annual "Farmers' Conference," which has exerted a most remarkable influence on our people in all the surrounding counties. At the late Farmers Conference, held in July, Archdeacon Russell, its president, recounting the progress made, stated that the total valuation of real and personal property for the county of Brunswick, of our people was six years ago, $325,000; now $515,209.15. Number of acres owned then, 40,500; now, 54,000. The Negroes of the county own a little over one-seventh of the land area of the county, and one sixth of its taxable values. Very striking and interesting is the showing with respect to the criminal conditions in that county among the Negroes. Six years ago the criminal expenses amounted to $1,944.20; now, $954. a decrease of more than one-half. The county jail stood open for a half a year, and until March of this year there were only two prisoners. Only one murder was committed in the county during this year, and neither the victim or his murderer were natives of either the county or State. Archdeacon Russell is a very quite, modest and reticent man, but his good work proves him a most effective worker, indeed. It is just such records of the ordinary country youth, without great magnetism or wonderful personal charms, which contribute so much to inspire the aspiring young men of the race. WHAT ABOUT OUR SABBATH? Less than a generation ago such men as Craft, Cook, Meridith, King and many others saw the drift in public sentiment and life, toward the oriental Sabbath, and they fell ahtwart the track of Sabbath dissertation, and for a while in certain quarters arrested the drift. In some cities street cars were stopped on the Sabbath and the shops were closed. Sunday was really a day of peace and rest, such as the Creator ordained that it should be. Many persons who cannot now, went to church then and were improved in their moral and religious life; for in the preaching of the Word they learned their duty both to God and their fellowman. The Sabbath was a sort of oasis in life's desert, where their minds and souls were watered and refreshed, and on Monday morning, with high and noble thoughts filling their minds, they went back to labor and toil with high resolves to live and do better than they had ever done before. The Sabbath was a blessed day in the family for the toiler and the cottager; for on the quiet of the Sabbath they had a little time with those they loved who had a little or no opportunity for fellowship, with them in the work days of the week. But all of this is changed. The Christian Sabbath is gone, and with it is going all the moral leverage of the good old days, when whole families from the workman's home sat down together in the church for Christian instruction. Today, traffic does not stop on the Sabbath, but on all the public carriers, extra effort has to be made to move the crowds hurrying on in the search for pleasure. Nearly every open field furnishes its compliment of baseball players, while the parks and playgrounds are full of pleasure-seekers from early morning till late in the night. Churches, Sunday Schools, Epworth Leagues, B. Y. P. U.'s and Christian Endeavors Societies have all been deserted and the people, young and old, are gone. So the Christian Sabbath, one of the footing stones of a Christian nation is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Now does this mean anything? You have only to read the daily record of thefts, murders, suicides, divorces and kindred crimes, to see that the nation is rapidly losing its moral conscience. The going of the Christian Sabbath is reflecting itself in the lax moral life of the nation. Unless somehow we shall be able to hold the nation face to face with the decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount. We are going to see a continuation of the present deterioration of public morals until some Luther or Savanoralla again rises to call the nation back to Christ. Today things are going from bad to worse as to the Christian Sabbath, and there is apparently no protest, either from the great nails of the land or the pulpit. not time that the press and pulpit began to sound the alarm against Sabbath discursion? HOW HE EMPLOYS HIS VACATION President Taft is taking a vacation and devoting his spare time to playing golf. Now playing golf is not by any means a bad way of spending one's time, and to it we have not the slightest objection, and if that was all perhaps this editorial would not have been written. But while all this is going on something else is going on at the same time. Chopping of Negro officeholders' heads seems to be on a par with playing golf, and probably with the President, is mere pastime. But off they come just the same. With a few possible exceptions, scattered here and there at long and rare intervals, every prominent Negro who held office in the South has been compelled to walk the plank by the pirate-that sits in the White House at Washington. He is surely carrying out his plan of obliterating the Negro from Federal politics in the South. And the South? Well it is laughing in its sleeve at a Republican President removing Negro office holders without the possibility of carrying one Southern State. And so the good work goes on. Where are now the Negro newspapers who fought, so hard and were calling names because certain independent editors would not be caught in the trap of supporting a "lily white" for President? Eating crow we suspect. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. FREDERICK VOTERS NEED NO ADVICE. EDITOR OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEEDER The colored voters of Frederick county note that one of our leading race journals of Baltimore has seen fit to advise us to unite upon one H. B. Warner of Montgomery county as our Congressional candidate. We resent such interference on the part of outsiders and consider it a reflection upon our intelgence to be advised by those who have no political suffrage in this matter. The colored voters of this district are capable of selecting their own candidate and even the political bosses of the several counties dare not dictate to whom they should support. Their intelligence and political independence have always been manifest for the good of the race, and we will never look upon Warner as the proper type of man to represent this district. Who is H. B. Warner any way? The editor of this paper should know and ought to know that he was one of those serving upon the Committee of Arrangements for the International Sunday School Union which convened in Washington last spring who discriminated against colored children participating in the street parade. The voters of this district remember this insult and even if the white men should nominate him the colored men will take pride in defeating him. NOTED MASON DEAD Suddenly on Thursday, August 11th, about 3.30 p. m., Charles Doughty, citizen, churchman, citizen and prominent in fraernal organizations, dropped out at his home 225 Myrtle avenue, of acute lodgement, in his 43rd year.

All sections of the county were represented. The principal feature of the meeting was the annual address 6. President Russell Recounting the progress since the conference began to operate, he said the total valuation of real and personal property had increased almost $200,000 and the number of acres owned increased by 14,000. Three years ago, criminal prosecutions were 124, last year, 18. The speaker also said the jail stood open for half a year and until March 15 this year there were only two prisoners. The lack of prisoners has caused the sheriff in the revenue of the sheriff for feeding the prisoners that he declares the crimes is about to starve him out. He decided that the Negroes of the county owned a little over one-seventh of the land area of the county and one-sixth of the taxable values. In the four years of the school extension work. President Russell said that nearly $1300 had been raised by self-taxation.

The best runners, jumpers and ball "Come on let us go down to Brown's Grove, this afternoon," said Teddy as we were dreaming over the Sunday paper last Sunday afternoon. "What in the world do you want to go down there for today?" was our reply. "It is too hot to go to Sunday School, and I must just go somewhere, and that is as good a place as I know anything about," was Teddy's reply. And of course, as usual there was nothing to do, but get up and go, and so after getting our dinners we took a street car bound for Miller's Wharf. "All off for Brown's Grove," was the shout of the conductor, to our surprise on reaching the corner of Lancaster and Caroline streets. We did not know that the street car conductors were that much interested in their colored passengers to tell them when to get off to go to a colored pleasure resort. Reaching the wharf we found the boat well filled. Rev. Williams had advertised a day's meeting at the grove, but we did not know it. And so after waiting a good while for the stragglers to come we were off. A fine breeze was blowing, and Teddy sought out a good place and securing seats we were soon enjoying the delightful breeze from the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. The ride down was delightful, and as we blew the smoke from our fragrant Havanas, we were at peace with the world. The grove was reached in remarkably short time, for the Starlight is a swift boat, and we went ashore. Did we find a meeting in full blast? Not at all. The dining pavilion was the Mecca of all and the way chicken and other edible were being destroyed looked like the people had just come there for that particular purpose. The flying horses and other amusements were in full blast, and even a few persons were enjoying themselves in the skating rink, but we heard nothing of any consequence that sounded like a church service. "Not much church business here," said Teddy, and he was right at least for once in his life. We however took in the grove and its surroundings and it safe to say that there is no proposition owned by colored people in Baltimore and vicinity that deserves more credit that does the Steamer Starlight and Brown's Grove. Teddy is a very restless fellow and not being satisfied to sit around and look at other people he wanted to take a motor boat ride, and so we approached Mr. Abraham White, who is in charge of that department and we were soon whirling around Rock Creek and exploring its many nooks and crauys. Returning we went on the boat for the return trip. Mr. Brown informed us that he had carried on his boat during the month of June 29,000 people. And Teddy said: "My that's a crowd." Teddy was hungry and as the committee had prepared nothing to feed the people on their return trip, he went after Mr. Brown, and told his tale of woe. Accommodatingly, Mr. Brown soon had us sitting in the dining room with a fine Porter house beefsteak before us, and were correspondingly happy. Arriving again at the wharf the Starlight discharged its over 800 passengers, and tired and sleepy we wended our way home. Teddy says he is going again, and most likely he will. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH GIVES The annual excursion of the Antioch Baptist church to the Greater Brown's Grove.

The Call fo Ser- vice, 1-7. Peter's question (Matt. 39:37) led Jesus to utter the parable of the lesson. There is the most intl- mate connection between tire question and the parable, as the central truth of the parable is that those get most who are not trying to drive a bargain with the Lord as to what reward they shall receive for their sacrifice and service. The parable is preceded and closed with the same “statement. “Mfany shall be last that are first and first that are last” (v. 16; cf. Matt. 19:30). Many that are last become first because they work without stin- ulating the reward, while many that are first become iast because they work long, but work for pa (vs. 12- 14). The great bistorical fulfillment of the general principle is found in the Jews and Gentiles (Matt. 8:11, 12: Lu, 13:28-30; Rom. 9:20-32). There is likely to be another fulfill ment in our day in America and Eng- land and the heathen nations: we to- day are first in privilege, but they are likely to become first because of our neglect of privilege. The hovsehold- er in this parable represents God (cf. 18:27; 21:33, 43). ‘The vineyard ‘represents the kingdom (cf. Isa. 5:7; Matt, 21:23). Those first called Into the vineyard represent those who early in le are called to service. Testis hed in mind the immediate feompany of disciples (ch, 19:27). ‘The venay represents the reward for service. Its real value is about seven- teen cents aud was a fair day's waxes in those times. The truth tanzht is that no one works for God without adequate pay (Eph. 6:8; Heb. 6:10). Before we can work for God in His vineyard the call must come from God Himself. No one started ta work be- fore ealled (cf. Jno. 18:16). The call was call to service: Peter's awn call had been a call to service (Mk. 3:17). The'householder did not make as definite a bargain with those called at the third hour, nor did they re- quire it, as with those called at the first hour, ‘Theirs was a higher type of service. Those called at the first hour may have done # larger amount Ot sepvice, but noe ‘of so high a qual- ity, Character of service counts inore with God than quantity of service. ‘Those that did the higher service got a larger reward in prozortion to the amount of service rendered. Jf a man works for the reward he will get just what he works for; if he works in simple trust, leaving the question of amount of reward to God. he will get exceedingly abundantly above all he asks or thinks, ‘The householder promised those called at the, third hour that he would give them “what- soever is right;” he did that and mueh more, In Abraham we have an example of one called at a tate hour (Gen. 12:4; Josh. 24:3, 4). Even at the eleventh hour, when there was only one hour of the working day left, he found men still idle. God puts to every idler the same question He puts to thera (v. 6). ‘Every one the house- holder found outside the vineyard was an idler: these is no real work except in God's vineyard. Il. The Rewards of Service. 8-16. ‘The reckoning was made at the close of the working day (cf. 2 Tim. 4:8). Each one of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ to re-- ceive the deeds done in the body (2 Cor. 5:10). Christ is represented by the steward of the parable (Heb. 2:6; Jno. 5:27; Rev, 2:7, 10, 17.28). A whole day's pay was given for those who began at the eleventh hour. They received more than they had a right to’ expect because they had trusted grace instead of demanding justice. ‘Phose who expect the largest. reward are those who get the least reward. ‘The parable does not teach that those who bear the burden and heat of the day will get no more than those who work only one coo! evening hour (cf. 2 Tim, 2:12; 2 Cor. 4:17), but It does teach that one hour's service in the spirit of humble trust that leaves the reward as a matter of grace to God: will be at least as abundantly reward- ed as twelve hours legal service that tries to drive 2 close bargain with God and seeks a reward as a matter of debt. Those who worked the twelve hours received their pay with grumbling, but they chad no-right to murmur; they were paid every penny they agreed for.’ He'dealt with the eleventh hour men in grace: he pald the first all that was their due. He had a right to do with bis own what he would and they had no right to be envious becattse he was gracious. God will give to every man at least. hts fust due, He deals in grace with those who trust His grace. Those who murmur at the distribution of rewards are murmuring against God. All murmuring in the last analysis ts against Him (Bx, 16:8). Murmuriny against God.is one of thé most hen ous of all sins, There are four points in the housebolder's answer to. the in the householders answer oO. vs What They ave.

Among the passeligers on the steam- ship Adriatic, which arrived at New York from Liverpool on Thursday, Aug, 4, was Mrs. J: E. Givens of Lou- isville, Ky.

Colored People Few and Far Between But They Are Doing Well. Mr. D. Bernard Taylor, the prominent caterer and society man, who has just returned from a month's stay abroad, told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger the other day that a colored man could get work in London at anything for which he is fitted but that the wages were very small. "I do not think," said Mr. Taylor "that I saw altogether two dozen colored people while abroad, and most of those were actors. The colored vaudeville seems to be making good in London. I also learned that England does not set the fashion for men's clothes any more, but that a New York cut is just the thing. "The leading tailor shop in London, which makes a specialty of American cut clothes, is run by two colored men—Kraton and Gregory—and are doing a fine business. The head of the firm, Harry Kraton, used to do an expert hoop-rolling oct in the Smart Set and other shows. A former member, Williams and Walker's show runs the only American restaurant in town, and is well patronized. "I there is very little prejudice in London; in fact you only notice it when some Yankee seems to think he is over here, and run things against us, but the Englishmen laugh in derision at tdem. "Paris is a fine and gay city, where prejudice is hardly known." FISHERMEN TO START The National Grand Tabernacle of Galilean Fisherman will start on a new era, according to Mr. Columbus Gordon, of this city who was elected National Grand Ruler of the order last week. Among the reforms contemplated are the strengthening of the Endowment department, the adoption of more business like methods and retrenchment along some lines. Mr. Joseph P. Evans, who was re-elected treasurer last week, and who wholed the movement which resulted in Mr. Gordon's election, says he will back up Mr. Gordon in his efforts to put the order on a firmer foundation. A meeting of the Board of Directors was held last night and plans for the upbuilding of the Order were discussed In cooperation with State Grand Ruler Joseph P. Evans the National Grand Ruler is planning a massmeeting of the members of the order to stimulate a greater interest for progress. FUNERAL OF REV. GREGG The funeral of Rev. Dr. E, J. Gregg who died at the residence of Mrs. Mary Gordon, 1257 N. Carey street last Friday morning after, sev ral month's illness from a complication of disesae, took place on Monday afternoon at St. John's A. M. E. Church. The services were in charge of the Baltimore Preacher's Meeting. The eulogy was delivered by Rev. A. L. Gaines. Others who took part in the services included Revs. John Hurst, L. S. Flag, D. P, Seaton, Joseph Gwynn, P. J. Jordan, J. W. Norris, P.H. Green, C.H. Murray, and David Johnson. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. One sad feature of Rev. Gregg's death was that he had been in failing health since the death of his wife last February and that Rev. J. C. Waters who succeeded him at St. John's Church in April and whose place Dr. Gregg took at Chestertown, Md., died just six weeks ago. A strange coincidence was that Rev. Waters and Rev. Gregg, followed each other in their pastorates in the South. The deceased was born in Georgetown, S. C., about 51 years ago. He pastored a number of prominent charges in the South, aud in 1904 was choosen by the A. M. B. General Conference superintendent of the Allen Christian Endevor League. In 1908 he returned to the pastorate. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary P. Vanderhorst, of Georgetown, S. C., a half brother, and several children. LADIES ENTERTAINED.
