THOUSAND DELEGATE AT BUSINESS PRESIDENT BOOKER WASHING NEGRO NEWSPAPERS FOR WORK IN RACIATION Colonel Roosevelt Receives A Over One Thousand Delegates By Successful Colored Bus Every Section of The (Staff Correspondence.) their means New York, Aug, 18—In the presence of over one thousand delegates of the National Negro Business League, which started its sessions in the Palm Garden, Wednesday, Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the League, in his annual address paid a glowing tribute to the worth of the Negro newspaper as a potent factor in racial uplife. “Before uttering a single sentence regarding any other subject,” said Dr. Washington, “I wish to express the deep obligation which the National Negro Business League is under to the Negro press of the country for the generous and unfailing interest which it has taken in this meeting. Were it not for the generous space given to the affairs of this organization — and without cost, it would have been impossible for it to have attained its present degree of success. Mo.e and more in the future than has been true in the past, I plead for the generous and constant support of the Negro press. There are very few agencies which have exerted a greater influence in the uplift of our race than is true of the Negro newspaper, and often this influence is exerted at the price of poverty, hard work and self-denial on the part of the publisher.” Negroes Worth Millions Continuing, Dr. Washington told of the wonderful success being made by Negroes in this country. "The Negroes of Georgia" he said, "have added 47 045 acres to their land holdings this year, and increased the value of their land holdings $830,533. They have bought over $680,000 worth of city and town property. Through DR. BOOKER T. W. their real estate purchases and other means they added in twelve months $1,420,000 to their taxable property. $1,420,000 to their taxable property. "The Negroes of Virginia also during the year 1909 added $1,425 acre to their land holdings and increased their land values $175,740. They also bought $600,000 of city and town property. They are now paying taxes on 1,517,500 acres or land and $25,600,280 worth of property. Judging from the recorded progress that is being made in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, where rooms are kept of negro property owning, it is conserved and estimated that the Negroes of the United States are adding from twelve to fifteen millions of dollars to their wealth each year, and that their t total wealth is not now far from $600,000,000. "To Him That Hath." "To him that hath shall be given" thuddered the Wizard of Tuskegee, amid the voiferous applause of the packed multitude. "So him that hath influence shall be given more influence. To him that hath power will be given more power. To him that hath credit in the financial world will be given more credit. To him that hath money will be given more money. To him that hath houses, stores and banks will be given more houses, stores and banks. To the race that hath many business enterprises will be given many business enterprises. Let us go out and start everywhere the idea of getting, not with the idea of selfishly keeping, but that in proportion as we secure the substantials of life, we shall be in a position to add to the larger life of our race. Asks For More Protection. "I have referred frankly to the duty of the colored people in fitting themselves for industrial and commercial usefulness. I want to be equally frank in referring to the responsibility resting upon those whose whose duty it is to enforce the law—to protect life and property, for there can be little progress unless life and property are safe in every part of the Nation. "I call attention to the murdering of colored people at this time because the habit has so grown upon the nation that a murder or lynching of this kind attracts little attention. I speak with sorrow and with a Continued on page 5. ROOSEVELT RECEIVES TREMENDOUS OVATION Business League Members Give The Colonel Rousing Welcome at the Palm Garden. (Staff Correspondence.) New York, Aug 19.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt received a rousing greeting at the Palm Garden this morning, when he addressed nearly a thousand bankers,'business and professional men, newspaper editors, writers and visitors who are here attending the eleventh annual session of the National Negro Business League. A mighty cheer went up as the former President and African hunter entered the ball, and the cheers were renewed when Dr. Washington introduced him as a friend of the race. Col. Roosevelt spoke in a characteristic manner and complimented the deligates upon their successful showing. This is the first time he has addressed a colored audience since his return from his African hunting expedition. The League closed its sessions with a banquet tonight at which cheer and good feeling reigned supreme The next meeting of the league will be held at Little Rock, Ark. PRESS ASSOCIATION IN CONVENTION Editors And Writers From All Over The Country Discuss Newspaper Problems. (Staff Correspondence.) New York, Aug 17.—About forty owners of newspapers, editors, magazine writers and correspondents were present here today at the sessions of the National Negro Press Association which were held at the Metropolitan Building, Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue. The "press gang" was welcomed by J.N. Anderson, of the New Amsterdam News. Addresses dealing with various phases of newspaper work were delivered by N. D. Brascher. of the Cleveland Journal, Horace D. Slatter, N. B. Dodson, of the American Press Association; Lester A. Walton, dramatic editor of the New York Age; E. H. Lawson, Washington, and Charles Stewart, the veteran news paper correspondent. Mr. Stewart delivered a helpful talk on "Colored Newspaper Correspondents" in which he detailed some of his own experiences. The concensus of opinion among the several speakers was that one of the chief difficulties in Negro newspaper work was that they are not admitted into any of the press associations. Notwithstanding the fact that there are almost 800 Newspapers, it was stated that with the exception of a special page of news about Negroes issued by one association, no news could be bought from any of the established agencies, thereby hindering them in their competition with the ordina y publication. Officers were elected as follows: M. M. Ley, Pensacola. Fla. president; N. D. Brascher, Cleveland O., and T. F. Smalls, N. York, vice presidents; R. W. Thompson, Washington, correspondng see eary; Horace D. Slatter, Kentuck, recording secretary, and Rev. L. G. Jordan, Louisville, treasurer. WILL DO MORE GOOD THAN ALL THE RESOLUTIONS MISS NANNIE A. FOULKS GIVES ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO START A TRAINING SCHOOL A Concrete Example Of Self-Abnegation On The Part Of An Afro-American Woman—The North Carolina State Baptist Convention And Young People's Union Hold Rousing Meetings — The Attendance, Lectures And Practical Work Were Of Great Interest. Raleigh, N. C.-The thirty-eight annual session of the State Baptist Sunday School convention and the Baptist Young People's Union convention of North Carolina, held in this city in the First Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. W. T. Coleman, pastor, Aug. 8-12, were auspicious because of having au attendance, lectures and practical work that are unpredececented by any previous convention held by these bodies. The central figure of the Sunday School convention is Dr. N. F. Roberts, vice president of Shaw University, and president of the convention. Among the constructive element of both bodies are Drs. A. W. Pegues, S. N. Vass, C. S. Brown, J. A. Whitted and Col. James H. Young. The welcome address on behalf of the city by Mayor Wynne; addresses and lectures by prominent white Sunday School workers and the annual address of Dr. N. F. Roberts were among the pertinent features of the convention. A concrete example of self-abnegation for higher usefulness is found in the life of Miss Nannie A. Fouls, a domestic of attorney W. W. Fulier, chief counselor for the American Tobacco Company. Being in the household for years, she has through husbanding her funds accumulated $1,000 the net amount realized during her life time, which she has donated every dollar of that amount for a reformatory and training school for incorrigible Afro-American youths. This movement has taken on tangible form and is now an absolute certainty for the colored people in North Carolina. Attorney G. H. Mitchell, of Greenboro, addressed the convention in interest of the project and the convention adopted strong resolutions in favor of this institution to be known as the "Fouls' Reformatory and Manual Training School." About 300 delegates from every section of the state attended the convention and represented the brain, ennobling characters and progressive people of their communities. For practical work and enthusiasm the convention was nearly analogous to chauvinism. Memorial services in honor of Dr. H. M. Tupper, the founder of Shaw University, were held last Friday in the auditorium of the university. The occasion elicited conise and eloquent eulogies by prominent men and women attending the convention. The convention next year convenes in Weldon. The plans for the years' leaders of the convention will make the next meeting an interesting one. (special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Unionville, Md., Aug. 17. —The Trustees rally at St. Stephen's A. M. E. church on July 31, was a rea-surance. Mr. Alfred C. Jackson, the evan elist, of Bethel A. M.

NEGRO BANKERS ANNUAL SESSION Colored Bankers Have Plenty Trouble In Conducting Their Institutions (Special to the Afro-American.) Mew York, Aug. 17—At the meeting of the American Bankers Association, affiliated with the National Negro Business League, which was held here today in the Metropolitan Building, Rev. Dr. W. R. Petthford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, told of the difficulties experienced in getting Negroes to save money and invest it wisely. "The trouble is," he said, "that so many colored people buy on installment plan that they cannot meet their obligations. They pay half the price and they get behind love paying. There is plenty of capital in this city, but it is not concentrated, so that our race in its hour of need can turn nowhere for aid." S. S. Brown, cashier of the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company of Memphis, told how to overcome the distrust of banks by Negroes. He said it was necessary to hold bank meeting in the churches where the advantages of saving could be explained. (special to The Atric-American League) Owings Mills, Md., Aug. 17—Mrs. Annie D. Williams, 1 Princeton, N. J., passed thru the city this week, enroute to Geer Spring, Valley where she will visit her sister, Mrs. Grace Oliver. Among the Baltimoreans apending the summer at Green Spring Valley are Mrs. Lottie Fister, of 2008, D uid Hill avenue, and the Misses Bianche and Marie Holland, of 516 W. Lanvale street. PARIS WITH ALL ITS OTHER FAULTS RECOGNIZES A MAN FOR WHAT HE IS WORTH. The Same Thing Is True All Over Continental Europe—A Nothing Is Nothing There, And A Man Is A Man.—If You Can Measure Up You Are All Right—Would Like To See More Of Our Representative Men In Europe—Goes Sight-Seeing In The City Of Paris. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. In my last letter to you, I had reached Paris. It was early in the morning. I think it was about 5 o'clock when I got into the town, and went to the hotel. Of course you want to know in what hotel I stopped, and I will have to tell you that I stopped at Hotel Filleux, or Au Bon Marche. I do not understand this, and it is out of the question for me to try. But it was a fine hotel at any rate. The clerk was able to speak a little English, so I was understood, and I understood her. No one else in the house could understand me; I went out then to do Paris. It may be another time I will be able to write about all the things I saw in Paris, and how I got around alone. I did not get a guide, but just went it. I went to the United States Express Office, also to the American Express and got some money, and took a ride in "Seeing Paris" touring car and visited many places." I failed to tell you the name of the place where I went to the concert in Ostend, and as I have it now will turn back and tell you it was at Kuraal d'Ostebde. I suppose I can give you what was on the programme and you can read it for yourself. Lundi 20 Juin a 8½ du soir Concert Symphonique. Sous la direction de M. L. Biaskoff ave le concours de Mme. Jeanne Guionce de l'Opera—Comique. Programme. Now I will not give the whole program. But will return to Paris. It will pay you to visit this hustling place. The sight is here, and the sights are to be seen. People sit out on the streets and eat and drink just like they were in the house, and you will find fine looking French women on the streets at night making love. They will sit at table alone and invite a gentleman to join them in drink, or eat, whether acquainted with them or not, and they do not care whether or not you can speak their language, so you have the money to pay for drink and eat. Paris with all its wickedness, recognizes a man for what he is worth. Paris is not a standard of manhood. A nothing is a nothing there, and a man is a man. If you can measure up, you can measure up. I admire this about Paris in fact all over Continental Europe. There is no need of the American coming to this part of the world with their American prejudice. I want to see more of our representative men come to Europe, but do not want them to come in bunches, all getting on one ship but scatter up, and I want as many as many them as possible to travel first class. It is cheaper to travel second class, but then it is not the best thing for us as a people. Well I returned to England, took another trip to Leeds. I was again met by the Rev S. B. Prestley Smith, living in Leeds and is of the firm Smith & Kirby, Boot and Shoe Factory. He is living, preaching and lecturing in the birthplace of his great grandfather, Dr. Joseph Prestley, who was one of the great men of his age, and whose monument stands in the city square because of his worth to humanity. He was the oil coverer of oxygen, and at the time of his death occupied a chair in chemistry in Philadelphia. Some time ago Rev Smith, taught and preached in lanta, Gar, doing Big Buildings Are Reduced to Ashes With Great Rapidity on Account of the Inflammable Nature of Their Contents—Eurning Cork Scatters the Fire—Tenement Dwellers Are Driven to the Streets. New York (Special)—Fire in the warehouse division of Jersey City caused damage estimated at $1,000,000. Chief Croker and five engines from New York hurried across the Hudson to aid the Jersey firemen and dynamite was used frequently. The fire started in the plant of Truslow & Fulle, manufacturers of cork products, at Washington and Morgan stems. The burning light cork was carried by the fire and lighted by the Riegel Sisk Company across the street. A few minutes later, the Independent Taking Powder Works, were burning. Then working up Washington street, the fire attacked the W. Amos & Co. spike works and the Butler Bros. notion warehouse. The entire Jersey City fire department was on the scene at this stage, and the belonging powder plant was demolished with dynamite. But as the flames continued to spread aid was summoned from New York, and the two departments worked together. The yivinity is fringed with old wooden tenement houses, occupied mainly by Polak dock laborers and their families, and thousands poured into the streets, wailing and dragging their belongings. The streets were soon congested with furniture and other household articles, seriously hampering the firemen and affording loot for hoodlums. Only on serious accident was reported. The victim was Spencer Babcock, a fireman, who was knocked unconscious by a live wire. PENNSY. WAGE SCALE. Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen Announce the Details. Cleveland, O. (Special)—President W. G. Lee, of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, announced the terms of the Pennsylvania Railroad wage scale adjustment, details of which finally have been completed. Under the agreement the daily and mileage rates have been raised to the New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio schedules, wherever lower than the rate obtainable on those lines, and maintained wherever higher. "The agreement gives the Pennsylvania the highest schedule of any railroad," said Lee. "It increases the road's operating expenses a great deal, too, as it applies East and West. The trainman's working conditions are greatly bettered." RCES REWARDED. Five Men Showed Nerve and Courage at Big Gun Explosion. Washington, D. C. (Special).—For nerve and courage displayed at the time of the explosion of a big gun at the recent target practice at Port Monroe, Va., resulting in the death of 11 men, five soldiers were awarded certificates of merit by the War Department. They are Private Charles C. Parks, Cook Wilmer H. Hawk, Private Freed, Faulkner, Corporal William Bryan and Private D. C. Wigley, all of the sixty-ninth Company, Coast Artillery. Faulkner's certificate was awarded for "picking up and carrying away a smoldering sack of powder." The others "entered a close place to remove sacks of powder that were in close proximity to burning powder and smoldering debris," although most of them were painfully injured. Fifty Cases In Seattle. Seattle, Wash. (Special)—Loved to speedy action by the increase in the number of fatal cases of infantile paralysis here, Health Commissioner Crighton has left for Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago to consult expert medical opinion on the best method of treating out the disease, this week there have been 50 fatal cases, as many as three in a family, and the number of houses under quarantine for the same disease is in the hundreds. The health officers intend to procure all possible information regarding the disease and have special envoys sent to the larger cities to get the advice of famous physicians. New York (Special).—Mrs. John Beggs, of Dobbs Ferry, killed herself by soaking her clothes with kerosene and stiring them afire. She ran into the A where neighbors saw her burning and called the firemen who exinquished the blaze. She was taken to the hospital where she died. Before setting fire to clothes Mrs. Beggs started the oil move and lamp in the kitchen going, and the firemen also had to put out the fire in the house. No reason is given for her act. Murderer Shoots Hinself. New York (Special).—Bertram Pond, who shot and killed Mrs. Mary Umschied at her home in Homestead, N. J., when surrounded by a crowd near the scene of the crime shot himself through the head to escape capture. He is dying in a hos Tried By Telephone. Norwalk, O. (Special).—Mayer Venus used the long-distance telephone to arranger and find two out-of-town automobiles, charged with violating the speed ordinance in Norwalk. Charles R. Forth and C. H. Walters, prominent business men, were reached at their offices in Mansfield, O. Mayor Venus pleaded affidavits to each defendant pleaded guilty and received fine of $5 and costs, amounting to $7.50 in each case. The men promised to mail checks to the IN POLITE SOCIETY WE OWN TO GET A ACCOUNT FOR OUR CARRIAGE WANT NO THERE HERE NOT IN YOUR CARS?

The Loss May Be $100,000,000—Crowd of 100,000 on Grounds When the Flames Sweep. The—Two Dead, Thirty Injured. Brussels (Special).—The white city of the "World's Fair," as the Belgians call the 1910 exposition, is now a mass of flames and smouldering ruins. A spark falling into inflammable material in the telegraph building burst up in flames, which driven by a high wind, swept rapidly in all directions. Soon the Belgian, English and French sections were destroyed. The firemen and detachments of soldiers, called quickly to the scene, found themselves hailed by the veritable gale, which turned embers in all parts of the grounds. The loss in the exposition fire is estimated at. 500,000,000 francs ($100,000,000). To the left of the main building arose the picturesque roofs and spires of "Bruxelles' Kermesz," a Belgian Coney Island, with water chutes, togguban slides and scores of side shows. This place was alive with Sunday crowds, and before they could be gotten out with any semblance of order the Kermesz was ablaze. The crowds became austere, and men, women, whom they fought to. The exits became choked with the struggling masses, and men used their fists to clear the pathway. Many were trumped under foot and badly injured. Soon the enormous facade tumbled in ruins. Considering the rapidity of the confaguration, the small loss of life is mervelous. So far as is known up to a late hour tonight only two are dead. The injured, as officially announced, number 30, but probably many hundreds received minor hurts. POLICEMEN MUITNY. Refuse to Guard Against Strikers in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus, Ohio (Special)—Fifty-three members of the Police Department within 24 hours have rebelled against Mayor Marshall's orders to ride on street care. The mutineers were increased by 20. All of the 20 were men employed as specials for strike duty. Unlike the regular officers who mutinied, the 20 specials were not suspended, but upon their refusal to board cars they were told that by that act they had removed themselves from the service. The Mayor made no call for the return of State troops. Officers of the Fourth Regiment, four companies of which are stationed in Columbus, say they have been told to hold themselves ready for service, but at the adjutant-general's office it is denied that preparations have been made for calling out troops. Mayor Marshall called for 2,000 volunteers for police duty. He took the brunt of all criticism made against the manner in which the situation has been handled, but said that if his critics were sincere they would offer to perform police duty. SNOW-WHITE WATER. Sea Captain Relates Seeing an In- vocable Phenomenon. Port Townsend, Wash. (Special)—In a report to the United States Hydrography office here the statement is made of an inexplicable phenomenon that marine interests declare is without precedent. The statement is filed by Captain Samuels, of the American barkentine Aurora, on arrival from Callao, Peru. On June 17, in latitude 11 degrees south, and longitude 80 degrees west, according to the report, the vessel's course brought her into an area of snow-white water. The expanse was so large as nearly an entire day's travel. Its merging with the natural ocean water was sharp and definitively defined in color, creating a mervelous scene of marine bodies. Investigation with every means available failed to show the phenomenon to be due to submarine volcanic eruption or other seismic upheavals. Loses Money Ends Life. Kenesha, Wis. (Special)—Frank W. Nohling, 42 years old, president of the Kenosha Mercantile Company and leader among the Social Democrats of Wisconsin, committed suicide in his office. He shashed his throat with a shoe knife, severing the jugular, vein, and then taking another knife drove it deep into the wound. Mr. Nohling left a letter which indicated that he had lost money through speculation and had betrayed others who had given him the use of their money. A Portion of the Japanese Capital Now Submerged. Thousands of Homeless and Hundry People Sheltered in the Temples and Schoolhouses—Not Enough Boats to Convey the Sufferers to Places of Shelter—A Hotel Patronized by Foreigners Destroyed—All the Guests, However, Are Safe. Tokio (Special)—The great floods in this city and vicinity caused by the high water in the River Sumida have caused, so far as reported, 385 deaths and 500 others are missing. At 6 o'clock A. M. it was announced that the flood was subsiding. The Honjo and Fukadawa wards of Tokio are submerged. Tens of thousands of persons are homeless and starving. One of the three more important embankments guarding Tokio gave way and had the second and third dikes broken half the capital would have been submerged. The threatened embankments were guarded by troops. Thousands of homeless persons are being sheltered in the temples and schoolhouses, at which relief stations the most deplorable sights are witnessed. The victims of the floods are wholly dependent upon public relief. Thousands more have been unable to find shelter, owing to the insufficiency of boats to convey them to places of safety, and they are exposed to the rain and hunger. Every available boat is being employed in the work of rescue and to convey food where it is most needed. The question of feeding the stricken people is causing apprehension. The vegetable and fish supplies are failing, and the stock of biscuits already is nearly exhausted. There is no fear, however, for the supply of rice. The mountain flood in the neighborhood of Karuizawa destroyed the Mikaa Hotel. Many foreigners were stopping there, but fortunately no fatality has been reported so far. TO PROSECUTE WARDLAWS. Death of One of Sisters Will Not Halt Courgel for State Newark, N. J. (Special) — The prosecution of Mrs. Caroline B. Martin and Mrs. Snead will not be interfered with in any way by the death of Virginia O. Wardlaw, the third of the sisters indicted in connection with the mysterious death of Ocey W. M. Snead, the East Orange bathtub victim. This statement was made by Louis Hood, special counsel for the State in the Wardlaw case, when his attention was called to reports that Miss Wardlaw's death might cause the prosecution of her two sisters to be dropped. Mr. Hood said that the three sisters were jointly charged with the commission of the crime as well as aiding and abetting it, and he would not concede that the case against Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Snead had been weakened in any way by the death of Miss Wardlaw. MANY NEW GOVERNORS. Largest Number Ever Chosen at One Time—Four Elections Before Fall. Washington, D. C. (Special)—At the coming fall elections more States will elect governors than ever before in the history of the Union. For the first time Oregon is to join the list of Commonwealth electing their executives in November. Horetofore the Oregon State election has been held in June. A total of 36 governors are to be elected this fall. Thirty-two will be voted for at the general elections in November. Three States—Maine and Wisconsin—will vote for governor next month, and Georgia will elect its executive in October. The gubernatorial contests in some of the States are of a more than ordinarily interesting character. The elections in others will be of a purely perfunctory character, the election of the Republican or the Democratic candidate, as the case may be, being a foregoing william. Soon after the governor will have candidates for governor in a majority of the States, and in some of them they are expected to poll a considerable vote. DREXEL RISES 6,750 FEET American Aviator Makes a World's Altitude Record. Lanark, Scotland (Special).—It was officially announced that J. Armstrong Dresel, the American aviator, attained a world's altitude record by rising 6,750 feet. His barograph will be submitted to the experts of the Kew Observatory at London, who will determine the accuracy of the instruments. Dresel's flight was the sensation of the: aviation meeting. HE SAW MAYOR GAYNOR SHOT. Senor Montt Had Been a Sufferer From Heart Disease and Was On His Way to German Springs for the Cure—Served Several Terms as President of Chili—a Brave Fighter and a Fine Executive—Many Years An Officer In the Chilean Navy. London (Special). —President Pedro Montt of Chili arrived at Bremen on the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse Tuesday morning. His death occurred at 11:50 o'clock P. M. It was due to a recurrence of heart failure, following the recent attack of angina peectoris from which he suffered. New York (Special)—President Monti left New York just a week ago after one of the most startling experiences in his career. That same morning he had seen Mayor Gaynor shot down on the deck of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, had witnessed the struggle with James J. Gallagher, the would be assassin, and had departed on the Kaiser feverishly excited over the occurrences, as were most of the other passengers aboard. A sufferer from heart trouble, it is not improbable that his sudden death may in some measure be attributed to the strain of that occurrence. Before the vessel departed President Monti gave out an interesting review, describing the shooting as he saw it, and later at sea he flashed a wireless message of sympathy to the Mayor. He arrived in New York from South America on August 3 after a stop in the United States, and expected the work on the canal' and pronounced it good. Arriving here he was received with the presidential salute and met by the Federal, State and city officials. On the following Friday he left for Boston, whence he was taken on the President's yacht Mayflower to Beverly, where he and Mrs. Montt had lunchcone with the President. During his talk with the President the Peru-Ecuador boundary dispute came up, and President Taft asked the Chilian executive to use his influence in urging the two countries to accept the good offices of the United States toward an amicable adjustment. In consequence it is understood that President Montt cabled instruction to Santiago. While in this country the ill health of President Montt was apparent. He was easily fatigued, and his old heart trouble bothered him considerably. ROOSEVELT DOWNED. New York Republican Committee Recommends Sherman. New York (Special)—Theodore Roosevelt matched strength with the "old guard" of the Republican party in New York and met decisive defeat. The Republican state committee, in session here, by a vote of 20 to 15, refused to recommend him for temporary chairman of the state convention, which meets at Saratoga on September 27. Instead, Vice-President James S. Sherman was selected. This is Colonel Roosevelt's second defeat at the hands of the "old guard," the first having been the legislature's refusal to pass the Cobb direct primary bill, although Mr. Roosevelt especially indorsed it. With his latest setback plans for harmony within the party in the state received a severe setback; and as soon as Colonel Roosevelt heard the news he issued a statement in which he enrolled himself as a progressive, so far as the New York situation goes. It was his most pointed political statement since his return, and those who saw him were convinced that he had determined to begin an open fight on the "old guard." KILLS WIFE AND SELF. Woman Had Ubpraided Man for Not Living on Honest Life. Philadelphia (Special)—In the presence of their two children, aged four and six years, Bartko Bernardsky shot and instantly killed his wife and then blew out his own brains in a lodging-house on the street, in this city. The tragedy is the result of a quarrel due, the neighbors say, to the wife upbraiding: the husband because he did not lead an honest life. The couple came from Poland less than a year ago, and resided with Carroll Fabian in Buffalo. Mrs. Bernardsky left her husband and came here three weeks ago with the children and then wrote him, according to the neighbors, that she would again live with him if he led a better life. The husband came with Sate urday from Buffalo with $133, and the neighbors say, was skeptical where she got the money. This led to quarrels, with the tragic result. The police know nothing about the man except what they were told by the neighbors. Playing Indian Fatal. Pittsburgh, Pa. (Special)—A child is dead and an aged woman is dying from burns by a bonfire. Five-year-old Paul Porter was playing Indiana and wore a fringed suit and flames caught the fringe and the child fell headlong into the fire while attempting to extinguish them. The greater part of his body was burned to a crisp. Mrs. Richard Carr, aged 60, was burning waste paper when her clothing caught. Physicians say she cannot recover. Three Lads Drowned Sandusky, Ohio. (Special) —Clarence and Elmer Hemmerle, aged 13 and 11 years, respectively, sons of Frank Hemmerle, hotel proprietor, and John, 9-year-old son of Charles Ehner, ex-policeman, were drowned white on a fishing trip in Quarries, near here. Elmer Hemmerle knaked over an embankment to get a drink. He slipped and fell into about 20 feet of water. His two companions jumped in the water to save him. None of the boys could swim and all were drowned before men working near by could reach them. Secondary Hemmorrhage the Only Contingency. TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL IN TEN DAYS. Removal of the Bullet Does Not Concern the Surgeons at All, as They Say It Can Easily Be Done at Any Time—His Cough Is Still Troublesome. New York (Special)—The surgeons attending Mayor Gaynor confessed to a fear of just one thing, a secondary hemorrhage that might occur along the path torn by the bullet. A secondary hemorrhage is bleeding 24 or more hours after it would has been inflicted. In Mayor Gaynor's case it would mean that the bullet has so abrased the wall of some artery that the pulsing blood had broken through. Such a hemorrhage must be checked within a couple of minutes if death is to be averted. Every other contingency conceivable to the alert surgical mind has been provided for. The Mayor has received injections of antitoxin to ward off tetanus, the bullet has been viewed as it lies embedded in bony tissue in the roof of the pharynx, the wound has been dressed and asepticized and the Mayor's blood tested twice a day for the germs of septicemia or blood poisoning. Of course, such precautions as may be required to guard against a secondary hemorrhage, will likely to guard against that is impossible. That is why there is always at least one doctor on duty with the Mayor night and day. If a secondary hemorrhage were to come the doctor in the room would simply have to stanch the flow of blood with his fingers for a moment or two until ligatures could be applied. It developed Monday that this stanching of a secondary hemorrhage, was all that the surgeons had in mind, the speaking of an operation the remote bullet is a simple affair with which they are concerning themselves not at all. One of the physicians who is attending Mayor Gaynor said that, barring unforeseen and improbable complications, Mayor Gaynor will be able to leave the hospital in two weeks. The police are engaging themselves on a theory that James J. Gallagher, the witch doctor, may have had an accomplice. This Gallagher denies, but a man with a police record is under-suspicion. STEAL RAWN PAPERS: Chicago (Special)—Detectives are investigating a mysterious robbery at the home of Robert C. Brinkley, son-in-law of Ira G. Rawn, late president of the Monon Railway, in Winnetka. Brinkley, who is now with his family in Virginia, is custodian of Rawn's documents. Official investigation of alleged graft in car repair bills of the Illinois Central Railroad, of which Rawn was formerly a vice-president, is thought to be responsible for the ransacking of the Bibles. Many valuables were passed by the thieves, but desks and drawers where the documents might be placed were ransacked. MOUSE IN HER RAT. Actress Badly Shocked, But Will Recover. New York (Special)—The first woman to be recorded as having a real mouse in her "rat" is Miss Elizabeth Goodall, an actress. She was rehearsing in the Svenity-first Representation Armory for her appearance in "We Don't Go Home Till Morning," and at one time took off the hat and hid it in a dark corner. When she put it on again and started to use her hatpin there was a terrible commotion. When she finally got the hat off popped the mouse with a pin wound, in its side. It was said that Miss Goodall is doing well. Steel Cage for Baby. Bar Harbor (Special)—A steel cage on wheels, cunningly wrought by a skilled craftsman and safeguarded by locks of the most complicated design, for the morning's ride of Vinson McLean, America's $100,000,000 baby, is the latest and most startling to happen, two fond parents taken to protect this little Crewman against kidnapping. This little captivator has followed the recent attempt of burglars to break into the Edward Beale McLean mansion, at Bar Harbor. The McLean baby is now carefully guarded from all save his nurse and Detective Wardens, as if he were a little prisoner held as hostage. Haunted By Dead Wife. New York (Special)—Walter Schmidt, 50 years old, killed himself by inhaling gas. Just six years ago his wife killed herself in the same manner. Since then Schmidt he had been haunted by her and received he had been out of work and be- come despondent. He was found in bed fully dressed, with the gas escaping from a burner which had been left turned on fully. A letter and a bank book, in which there was a balance of $125 to Schmidt's credit, were found in the room. Chili's Side of Case. Washington, D. C. (Special)—The documents in the Aslop case, which involves heavy claims against Chili, and which was submitted to King George, of England, or mediation, were received at the State Department. The papers conti- chili's side of the controversy. The United States, prosecutor of the claims for the Aslop interests, has until December 1 to make answer. Two Men Hold Up Train. Bucklin, Mo. (Special).—Two men boarded a Santa Fe passenger train at the Russell Fork bridge two miles east of here, held up and robbed two of the passengers and escaped into the woods. Luther Rvals, a merchant of Ethel, Mo., resisted the robbers and was beaten and shot. His condition is dangerous. Cot Almost Smothers Baby. Cat Aimless Pittsburgh (Special) — The three-weeks- old Van Vark Mirk, of McKeesport, is in a serious condition as the regal of being attacked by a stray cat. Bradstreet's says, Increased arrivals of fall buyers and a measurable increase in house trade resulting from favorable weather are features reported at leading Western and Eastern markets. Heaviest buying is, however, by converters and manufacturers, and jobbing sales are mainly of small quantities, for which buyers see ready sale. Retail trade shows relatively less expansion, awaiting, apparently, a freer movement of crops to market, though retail business has been greatly stimulated at Chicago by a largely attended convention of a leading fraternal order at that city. Among the industries, iron and steel are quiet; the quietest of the year, in fact, according to leading trade authorities. Estimates of iron ore shipments on the lakes tend to decrease. Finished lines of iron and steel are not greatly changed. Demand for material from automobile manufacturers is quieter. In cotton goods there is an increased firmness noted, widespread curtailment and high raw material price making holders less inclined to consider any, but top prices. In the building industry the pause indicated in early preliminary reports is confirmed by later advises, the benefit and some price concessions are noted. Wholesale Markets.

ANCIENT SECRET ORDER TO MEET Brief Historical Sketch of the Masonia Fraternity, Its Subdivisions and Numorial Strength Among Afro-Americans—Annual Meeting to Be Largely Attended. Perhaps no secret order among Afro-Americans in the United States is so little understood by the masses of the race as is the Masonic fraternity. There are thirty-eight grand lodges in the United States and one in Canada. The Prince Hall grand lodge of Mas The Prince Hall grand lodge of anas sachusetis is the oldest. It was or- MOGHAN organized in 1808. It was the outgrowth of African lodge No. 459, the warrant for which was issued by the grand master of England to Prince Hall and fifteen other colored Masons, Sept. 29, 1784. The number of colored Masons in the United States and Canada is more than 150,000. Of the Royal Arch there are 14,000; Knights Templars, 12,000; Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, 2,000; Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons number upward of 5,712. Prominent members of the Masonic fraternity from forty states will attend the annual session of the Ancient Egyptian and Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, which will be held in Detroit, Mich., from Aug. 23 to 25 inclusive. The Mystic Shriners of Detroit are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the visitors, who will number several hundred. A parade has been planned as well as a number of social functions. Jacob T. Wright of Richmond, Va., has been the im- JOHN H. BURKE JOSEPH E. BROWN. perial potentate for the past four years. Joseph E. Brown is the imperial assistant. The treasurer is A. T. Waller of Baltimore. J. H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, has been the imperial recorder for the past four years. The Daughters of Isis, composed of the wives and daughters of the Shriners, will gather at the same time to organize an imperial court. Prosperous Year For Sunday Schools. The recent annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Baptist Sunday school convention and the Baptist Young People's union, held jointly at Pittsburgh, was the most largely attended in the history of the two organizations. There were forty-two schools represented, and the receipts amounted to $472.91. William Strothers was elected president, succeeding John S. Trower of Philadelphia, who declined a re-election on account of ill health. Mr. Trower was, however, honorary president for life in recognition of his long years of service as president. No Vote For Negroes in Oklahoma. Returns from the recent elections in Oklahoma show that the Democratic party carried the state in favor of disfranchising the Negro. The total Negro vote of the state is 14,000. OFFICERED BY CAPABLE MEN. Thrifty Organization, Which Started a Few Years. Ago In a Small Way, Gives Employment to Hundreds of Persons-Vica President Spaulding an Expert. One of the most successful business concerns organized as the direct result of the inspiration and encouragement which its promoters received from the National Negro Business league is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, N. C. There is nothing so apt to make strong sentiment for the black man, nothing that will do more to ameliorate southern conditions or to even give the Negro greater confidence in himself, than the successful manipulation of large concerns. The officials of the association recognize the importance of solidity, safety and conservatism in all of their business transactions. One of their pet theories is that a goodly portion of every dime collected must eventually find its way into the reserve fund, which is for the protection of its policy holders. As a reward for this conservatism the concern has grown to such an extent that its volume of business has increased in eleven years from $840 in 1899 to $220,100 in 1909. It is not such an easy matter now to begin insurance companies as it once was. The state authorities are beginning to see that some protection must be guaranteed the policy holders and the people who place their trust in the statements of insurance officers. To this end the state of North Carolina must have reports made to its insurance officials, which reports are verified by an examination made by representatives of the state department. In such an examination all the mutual industrial insurance companies, doing business in the state of North Carolina, had assets to protect their policy holders amounting to $91,104.27. Of this amount the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association has $72,608.07. The company has likewise on deposit with the insurance commissioner of South Carolina $20,000 to protect its policy holders in that state and owns valuable property in Columbia, S. C.; Wilmington and Durham, N. C. Its records show that $45,000 have been paid in the last six-months in premiums, and writes sick and accident policies, purely accident policies, industrial insurance policies, and straight life and endowment policies. The office force numbers twenty-one clerks and stenographers, and including agents, managers of districts and traveling men, it gives employment to 650 persons. The present officers are John Merrick, founder and president; Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer, and C. C. Spaulding, vice president and general manager. Much of the real success of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is due to the efforts of Mr. Spaulding, who has made a definite study of insurance. In many respects Mr. Spaulding is regarded as one of the best authorities on insurance in the country, and he knows every detail of the complicated machinery in the North Carolina Mutual office. Mr. Spaulding is ably assisted in the management of the concern by Mr. J. M. Avery. "At the Business league meeting in New York Mr. Spaulding gave from the ten years' experience he has had in the insurance business some valuable facts with reference to the management of the work. His subject was "Some Benefits and Dangers in Negro Insurance Business." SHOW OF HANDS DEMANDED Editor Rogers Contends For Adequate Recognition From Politicians. Speaking of the present political situation in Springfield, Ill., in so far as the Negro is concerned, Editor E. L. Rogers of the Forum says: "If the regulars' want you to be for them all they have to do is to be for you. We do not mean that all they have to do is purchase you. We do not believe in a purchasable ballot. What we do want is adequate recognition and consideration from the regulars. "It must not be presumed that the colored vote will be for you simply because you are allied with a certain party or a certain fraction of a certain party. We are waiting to see who is for the right and what your policies are before we are prepared to inform you for anything." Virginia Sunday School Convention: The annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist State Sunday school convention will be held in the Ebenezer Baptist church, Charlottesville, Va., Rev. Dr. Thomas D. Atkins, pastor, from Aug. 24 to 26, inclusive. Prominent Christian workers from all sections of the state will be in attendance, and a most profitable meeting is hoped for. GOLDEN TEXT. — "The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give His life a ransom for many." Matt. 20:28. H. Blind by the Wayside Begging, 20-31. The three accounts of this miracle (cf. Mk. 10:46-52; Lu. 18:35-43) differ in details. This appears like contradicti*n; but it is not necessarily so. A very possible explanation is that Jesus healed one blind man as He entered Jericho and this one told two others, one of whom was Bartimeus (whom Mark for some reason regarded as worthy of special mention), and they waited for Jesus as He should depart from the city. These two beggars are a striking illustration of man as he is by nature: His home, Jericho (the city under a curse; Josh. 6:17, 26, type of this world); bind (2 Cor. 4:18, Rev. 3:17); a beggar clothed in rags (Isa. 6:4). They were sitting by the dusty wayside—not a pleasant place to be, but better far for them than some shady palm grove of Jericho—for Jesus was to pass that way, and the best place for needy, sinful men that Jesus is (Lu. 10:39-43). Many a Bartimeus today needs simply to be told that Jesus is right at hand. As soon as they heard they began to cry out. That was not meant to do, but it was enough for 10:13. The time to call the time that they chose (Isa. 5:56). They addressed Jesus as "Thou Son of David," to the Messiah (Jer. 23:5, ch. 1:12, 22; 22:41, 42). They cried simply for mercy. The people were displeased to hear them cry for mercy and rebuked them. There are many people still, even religious people, who are irritated when they hear poor, sinful, afflicted people making a disturbance by crying aloud to Jesus for mercy. They thought it beneath the dignity of Jesus to be disturbed by the clamor of this poor blind wretch. Though they were poor, they were rich in faith, and the rebuke, so far from closing their mouths, only made them cry out the more. It was well that they improved this opportunity, for Jesus never passed that way again. III. Receiving Sight and Following Jesus, 82-84. Jesus was on important business, the most important errand of His life, and yet "He stood still" to listen to the cry of the poor blind beggars and to relieve their need. Are we like Him? They were ready to go as soon as the call came (cf. Mk. 10:49, 50). Everything depends on what we really "will" that God do for us. Jesus knew what they wanted, but would hear it from their own lips (ch. 6:8). Jesus would have definite prayers. They believed in Jesus as the Messiah, and the prophecies marked the Messiah as the restorer of sight (Ias. 85:5; 42:1, 7; Lu. 4:17, 18). Jesus opened their eyes with a mere touch. The cure was instant and complete. Unanswerable Logic. If Jesus Christ is everything to me, I know He can be everything to any man, and because I know it, then woe is me if I do not do all that is in my power to let every man who does not know Jesus Christ share Him with me. There is no escape from this logic. If I love Jesus Christ, which means if I am loyal to Him, which means, if I keep His commandments, I am in touch with everybody to the ends of the earth who needs Him, and I cannot wash my hands, and say that you must excuse me from this matter.—Mattie D. Babcock.

Street Number on Church. One of the churches near the crest of Murray Hill, New York, is adopted a street number so that strangers may find it with no more difficulty than they encounter in reaching a shop they may be looking for.

Old-Time Clocks Built to Last A pendulum clock made in 1622, and once owned by Cromwell, is preserved today in Philadelphia; and another, made in Germany in 1640, was not long ago, doctored by Yankee clockmaker, and is running for six months at a time without winding. Peculiar Trick of Li, 1899 Lightning played a curious trick with a funeral procession near Limoges, recently. It struck the church and burned the altar cloth.

FANNING THE FLAMES. The political situation in New York State was further complicated this week by the refusal of the State Republican Committee to recommend Colonel Roosevelt for the temporary chairmanship of the State convention. The old guard or the atindpatters stood against Roose- lard. The behalf of Vice President Sher- post, and by a vote of 20 to 15 re- dresses, aled Sherman for the tem-dresses chairmanship of the Saratoga Convention to be held in September. The political leaders generally had been looking to Roosevelt as the unborn the waters, to bring about armony between the standpatters and the progressives of the party and the action of the State Committee, is much to be regretted. its action will more likely throw Glonel Roosevelt full over into the ranks of the progressives and the Inurgent movement in New York will once become a factor with which the standpatters must reckon, and the fight will be carried into every corner of the State for the election Roosevelt delegates. Should a sufficient number be elected, the convention may overrule the action of the committee and elect Roosevelt temporary chairman any way. But that is not the worse feature of the New York situation. The herer and worse side of the matter in the Republican party will be so easily split in New York, that the state will be lost to the Republican party will be out up to throttle the Administration or the next two years. Now the fact is patent—that whatever Mr. Taft may have or have done, he has divided the Republican party and lost the support of the Negro vote. BETTER GET AT IT. Word is sent out from Washington that Administration intends morale be Negro vote in close races and vote Congressional disacts. The Administration which now be or the people a king for a vice of cush once has begun to feel the Negro will be needed this fall' when this vote of confidence is to be given. Strange thing to us the powers that be did not realize that before. Mr. Taft and his advisers ought to have known that there was another election coming, when they were removing the Negroes from office all across the country and practically hanging out the sign "No Negroes need apply." When Mr. Taft went into office there were many effective Negro organizations throughout the country, and they did valiant service in the campaign in which he was elected President, but Mr. Taft by ousting from office nearly every Negro who held an important position in the South, has discouraged the Negro and dissipated his organizations. Today the Negro in the Republican party viewing the activities of the Taft administration, is like a man hit on the head with a club, does not know exactly where he is, and therefore does not know exactly what to do. Mr. Taft seems to have forgotten that that splendid organization, of Negroes which Mark Hanna effected in the South, by means of which the nomination of McKinley, Roosevelt and himself were assured is badly shattered today by the removal from position of the prominent Negroes of the South, in an effort to build up a "illy white" Republican party in that section. The splendid organizations among Negroes might have been held intact and 'kept effective had Mr. Taft given the Negroes a fair deal. Another thing Mr. Taft must look to in this coming Congressional campaign, is the attitude of the powerful Negro newspapers which so earnestly supported him and the party two years ago. They will need to be organized too, for there has come a wonderful change in the field of Negro journalism toward Mr. Taft. With nearly every prominent Negro removed from office, with nearly all the colored Republican clubs disgruntled or disorganized and many of the colored newspapers either lukewarm or absolutely sour toward the Administration, it is indeed high time that the Administration began the work of organizing, which, if we do not miss our guess will be a more difficult piece of business than they may at first expect it to be. WHAT IS THE BUSINESS OF THE CHURCH. In the times in which we live it is not at all an unusual thing to read in the published notices of many of the churches, of rallies, sacred concerts, stump speeches, and various other matters of a sensational character, and not strictly pertinent to Christ and Him crucified. In the midst of all this, hungry and thirsty souls are crying: "We would see Jesus." And so we ask the question at the head of this column: "What is the business of the church?" Has the church a specific mission? What is that mission? Even some ministers read and study most anything except the New Testament, and, the more they confound it, and the more they undertake to unfold it, the more they fold it up. In the first place, the church is the body of Christ, and the mission of the Body of Christ is to extend its self among sinful men, and build men up in Christ—the Lord, that they may be rooted and grounded in love. The material church building is for purposes intimately connected with religious culture. It is not a lecture hall or a financial counter for the ingathering of dollars and cents, but a house of prayer. Prayer and praise must be the things emphasised in the church. The Lord never instituted His Church that men might place it on the bargain counter, and use it for worldly purposes and gain. The business of the church is to make men good, pure, holy and upright, and thereby build up human characters whose influence will be felt in the world of sin. The business of the church is to teach men to act and live by a fixed principle of right-conscious, and not by emotion and impulse. The business of the church is to help men get self-control and regulate their lives by the fundamental principles enunciated by the Master. Of course it is necessary, vitally so, that the preacher be an educated and well instructed man. But what is of vastly more importance is that the preacher should be a man of high character, and if he has not this qualification, then he is absolutely worthless. Christianity is a lite. A man's preaching from the punit is as "a sounding brass or a tinking cymbal," if what he preaches is not illustrated in his personal life. The religion which he recommends to others, must have first regenerated the life and character of the man who would dispense it to others. The Saviour, when he was quite young, upon a certain occasion, remarked: "Wast not that I must be about Me." Father's business? Is it not high time that many of our ministers were asking themselves the same question. To save men is to give them a new life. To save men means that the fruits of the Spirit are realized in their every day life, as they touch one another in the ordinary concerns of society. The business of the church is moral and spiritual; not financial and political. The business of the preacher is to be conspicuous is being genuinely good in character, and by his sermons, the conduct of his services, and in all his relationships, to labor to help men to be good and true. We are not unmindful of the fact that the preacher is in the body, and has bodily needs. But his business, nevertheless, is not to stress money, but righteousness, of in other words, r-i-g-h-t d-o-i-n-g. It is hardly possible, if a man gives himself up to the best and highest, moral and spiritual interest, of his people, preaching helpful sermons, with his life, as well as with his lips, that he will be driven to the almouse, or die from starvation or neglect. In such a case, he would be comforted with the words of the Holy Writ, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." The race has a right to insist that the church attend strictly to the business the Lord has laid upon it. The preacher cannot believe the message which he preaches to others, if he has not the faith to do the Lord's work, in the Lord's own way, and, then, trust the good Lord, for his own support and success, as he exhorts others to do. The increasing fidelity of the church to the business of the Lord, means an increased moral and spiritual force for the welfare of the whole race. Persons should not turn away from the church because the preacher is not what he ought to be, because he is ignorant or immoral, or both, but they should bravely do their duty as Christian men and women and set to build up such a healthy and robust atmosphere of advance life in that congregation as will render it impossible for such a chap who has missed his calling to exist in their midst. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. THE REALITY OF INSURGENCY AS IT OBTAINS IN THE WEST TODAY. EDITOR OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER: From all over the nation information is being circulated in an effort to belittle the insurgent movement. The strongly organized old guard of the Republican party insists that the insurgent movement, which is in reality the progressive movement, is the creation of dreamers who have little or no power in shaping or to shape policies which effect the destiny of the republic. Great daily newspapers, seeking to hold their influence with the administration, tell the President that the progressive movement is a myth. Any unfavorable opinion which may be uttered by the people is neither communicated privately or publicly to the President or his immediate advisers. For the most part venality in those who should advise the President honestly forces deception. The result is that the President does not know the true state of public opinion in the West. The administration papers seek to belittle the insertion of the initiative and referendum doctrine into the Republican platform of Nebraska. They point out that in an unguarded moment Republicans embraced this heresy. But the facts are otherwise. The people of the West realize that there is somewhere an abuse of power; that the great corporations, favored for many years as a means of economic development, have grown so powerful as to place government in the hands of the few, while denying to the people a chance for self-defense. This development has forced the doctrine of direct legislation to the front and has resulted in the general movement for a larger liberty for the people. There is nothing mysterious about it. Men who have studied it for many years have concluded that one way to correct the abuses is to alter the tarif law wherein it makes for the centralization of power in the hude of the wealthy few. Those who have taken this view to the people are called progressives and insurgents. This new movement is chiefly a moral movement. And it is very natural that in such a movement the State of Kansas should lead all other States. For the most part the men who are leading this fight are descendants of those early heroes, who led in that other and nobler fight for the triumph of an idea. In order to attain the end which they seek it becomes neces- sary to deal with the economic issues which oppress and crush the man of toil, but they are fighting for justice. Nor is it strange that that Iowa, always loyal in that other day when wealth and power were pitted against an idea, should stand with Kansas in the new movement for the liberation, not only of the black man of toil, but all the sons of labor in this land. The new movement makes some mistakes; its leaders sometimes fail, as the leaders failed in that other moral movement for the uplift of men. They lack organization, and, while superior in numbers, many times, lail of their purpose. They nevertheless represent the true spirit of the Republican party as its founders hoped it would be. When the Republican party came into power it met the opposition of King Cotton, which dictated all terms in the policy of the national government. The Democratic party was then the party of the aristocracy, and it ruled the nation thru the wealth of the taw. All the interests have drifted into the Republican party and have carried it away from its moorings. Now the progressives of the West are struggling to redeem it, and make it live on, the champion of all the people of this land. William Allen White, of Kausas, and William R. Nelson, of Missouri, editors respectively of the Emporia Gazette and Kansas City Star, and the Des Moines Registes, lead the fight for progressive ideas. Cummins is the political spokesman of this new movement. Mistake not, Senator Cummins knows whereof he speaks on these great issues, and the great West is at his back. No cause since slavery has so agitated the minds of men of the West, and for the reason that this is a moral issue in another form. Many of the men in the West who are admirers of President Taft are forced to identify him with an unpopular and an unjust cause. Nearly all of them believe in him personally, but they feel that he has clung to Ballinger and the Ballinger idea to the detriment of his administration and his own standing as the President of the republic. On the whole they admit his record is one of the best ever made by any President in point of constructive achievement, but his connection with men represent the idea of organized wealth and government by the few brings home to them a pang of regret and doubt. Were he free from some of the men who now so badly and dangerously advise him, he could regain the confidence and respect of the people to which, on the whole record, he is entitled. There can be little doubt about the outcome of the struggle between these contending forces in American life; no more doubt than there was about the outcome of the fight of the Republican party of the sixties for its idea of that day. Nor is there any reason, even among the most radical men of the West, for the belief that the progressives will abandon the Republican party. Full of the strength which the consciousness of right inspires in man, they are going to cleanse the Republican party of the powers which degrade it and bring the nation back to the place from whence it started, when this was a government, not of the few men, but of law, which proceeded from the whole strength of all the people. Thus the West, so long flouted by the East will go forward and redeem a country thru the war of reason, without spilling one drop of fraternal blood; that the whole people may once again stand forth in the light of its loftiest achievement. TO THE EDITOR OF AFRO-AMERICAN LENDER: It is indeed a great thing to perform an act by which thousands appersions are benefitted, and all manner of literature tell us "the world at large has been unquestionably benefited by the deeds of great men." Some of them have left an everlasting impression upon their nation's history. Yet, it does not seem to matter how, wonderful a man's achievement; how widespread the flattery showered upon him following success, or how satisfactory the applause of an enthusiastic world, the glamor wears off after a while, the reality seems to loose some of its attractiveness and the triumph some of its brilliancy. So it has been with the champions of the past and must some day be the same with the champions of the present and the future. Why then should there be so much malicious criticism, such berating condemnation of the present champion, the much talked and read of Jack Johnson? Officers and citizens of cities and towns have vied with each other in their efforts to prevent the presentation of the moving pictures for fear of arousing racial bitterness, but who has taken up the fight against the innumerable pictures, being shown continually, portraying every conceivable manner of plot and plan of the most heinous crimes? Who fears the results when all sizes and ages of youth are taught to steal and pickpockets, while burglary arson and murder share conspicuous places in the scenes? One writer, through a daily paper, declared "the 4th of July, the day of the birth of American Independence, had been desecrated." Is the 4th, of July, more sacred than the Sabbath? He deplores the fact that a prize fight occurred on that day, yet, judging by his writing, that same individual would carry a malicious heart to church on the Sabbath, and refuse the Holy Communion if administered to him, by or with his black brother. Another writer said "Johnson proved his superiority in endurance and brute force only. How absurd! Johnson proved his superiority through points it would have been well for Jeffries to have remembered in the beginning, especially the difference in their ages. alarmed at the elevation or evolution of the black man, since no honest person of sound judgment can justly doubt his ability to rise, and eminence is not governed by complexion. The Negro cannot rise because he is black, neither can the white man stay on top because he is white, but by intelligence, industry, integrity and moral worth must every man rise. Let the white man rise as high as he can provided it is not done by wroog doing to others, and the world will admire him. Let the Negro rise as high as he can without injustice to another, and nations will recognize him. Johnson won the championship because of his practical judgment, his undeniable energy, his cool-headed conviction which he had the courage to follow. EUGENIE M. NEAL. Philadelphia, Pa. ANNUAL SESSION OF FISHERMEN OF GALILEE. Grand United Order of Fishermen of Galilee of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, held its sixth annual session in New Good Hope Hall, Baltimore, August 5th and 9th, 1910, with E. E.

S. team in an exciting and well contested game of baseball; the score 10 to 6. Bennett who pitched for Trinity, was touched up for 3 triples, 4 two baggers and 6 singles. Benton Williams who twirled for Working Men held the visitors, well in hand, allow 6 only four hits and striking out 14 hits. The political pot has commenced to boil and Congressional aspirants are meeting their friends and telling them they should favor them in the primaries, August 30th. The Third Congressional district has four Democratic candidates and two Republican ones. Charles W. Main, a member of the last House of Delegates, is being backed by the friends of Collector Stone. Up in the Fourth there are three Democrats and three Republicans in the race. Addison E. Mullikin is backed by the Republican organization, while Carl A. M. Sholtz and Alfred J. Schultz are in the fight against him. It is in this district that the irrepressible "Stovey" Brown is contesting against State Senator Linthicum and J. Harry Preston for the Democratic nomination. Down "Marse" Sydney Mudd's way, the jokesmith of the Republican party, J. Frank Parron is the choice of the G. O. P. forces, while up in the Sixth district Congressman Pearre is lying awake of nights thinking whether or not one of his two opponents, Gist Blair and B. H. Warner, will succeed him as a Republican member of Congress. Pred Talbott, the cosy boss of Baltimore county, will have no opposition in the primaries, and Wm. B. Baker, of Harford, who once defeated him, will be the Republican standard bearer. Down on the Eastern Shore, A Lincoln Dryden, collector of customs, at Crisfield, will contest with Congressman J. Harry Covington in the general election in November. With a multiplicity of candidates, anti-Bryanites, Bryan shouters, pro-Taft voters, Roosevelt enthusiasts and anti-administration colored voters can take their choice of folks willing to serve the public. One of the most progressive young men in the fight for recognition this fall is Charles J. F. Steiner, who has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Third district. Although this is the first time this young man has been before the people for office, he has started a hot campaign among the voters all thru his district, and has received many assurances of support. During the week just past Mr. Steiner started a strenuous campaign among the colored voters in East Baltimore, and they seem to like the manner in which he enunciates his policies. He is making a house to house canvas and when the voters are out he puts a good word in, for himself with the women and children. During the next week over twenty meetings will be held in his interest in the different parts of the district, and when the primaries are held on August 30th, he says, he will have reached almost every voter in the district personally.

THOUSAND DELEGATES AT BUSINESS LEAGUE Continued from Page 1. sense of humiliation when I call attention to the fact that within a period of thirty days during the present summer, no less than 26 colored men were.wantonly murdered by mobs— shot down or hanged as if they had been so many wild beasts. What a blot upon our Christian civilization does such lawlessness indicate. Let this truth never be forgotten, that whatever a man or nation sows, that it shall also reap." The session of the League was called to order Wednesday morning by John M. Royal, president of the local league. Addresses of welcome were delivered by George P. McAenny, president of the Borough of Manhattan and Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue. T. J.

On motion of Solipo Jones, of Little Rock, Ark., resolutions were adopted expressing regret at the stempt on the life of Mayor Gaynor and extending the sympathy of the league to his family. Dr. George A. Jones, (white) president of Fisk University, Nashville, the Negroes to develop a spirit of pride and independence. So long as the Negro relied on the white people, and so long as they lived the lives of parasites on the white race, he said, just so long they would hold a deprading and degenerating position of parasites. This afternoon Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, delivered a very interesting address, and at night a number of ad dresses were delivered by business men from various sections of the country, who told of their success in the several business ventures.

Rev. W. H. Hickerson, of Virginia, is president of the association; Rev. Jones Watkins, of Baltimore, Md., vice president; R. B. Page, Oak Grove, Va., secretary; and B. Bumbray, King George Co., Va., treasurer. Seldom is an advertised preparation underestimated, yet strange as it may seem there is, at least, one remedy that we know of which is hardly given the credit that it due it. This remedy is Ford's Hair Pomade, a preparation that has been on the market for, over fifty years and during that time, has whitout a doubt, been the means of helping the colored people more than any other remedy in this line. Ford's Hair Pomade, manufactured by the Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., of Chicago, Ill., is a preparation that will mike harsh, kiny hair softener and more pliable, easy to comb and put up in any style that the length will permit. No lady can afford to be without it, especially if her hair is harsh and unruly. No one need be afraid to buy this old time tried remedy for kinky short and achy hair, but not easily that it will do even more than the manufacturers claim of it and if there ever was a remedy that is underestimated. Ford's Hair Pomade is the remedy. A good fault we will admit, and it afford the pleasure in saying these few words in behalf of a good thing for his people. Try it. M. JOE GANS His Latest Photograph IN PARIS SKIN IS NOT A STANDARD OF MANHOOD Continued from Page 1. good work there, but returned to England, taking up his work in Leeds. He is in charge of a church, but refuses to accept of any money from his congregation telling them to use the money for charity and other business, he having a business. "I do not believe in merchandising the gospel," he said to me, "and as long as I am able to port myself, I shall not accept of any pay from the people. I am devoted some time in my study of Egyptology, and delivers lectures to the Training College, of Leeds. He is a man of high learning and is much sought after in his career. He is able to trace Hieroglyphics to English script. He gives the African credit for things which have been denied him, especially in early civilization. It is indeed wonderful to be able to come in contact with such a learned gentleman as the Rev. S. Prestley Smith, who is now getting ready to visit America. It will not be long before he will be in this part of the world. I say this part of the world, but he is not. R. Carter is here and -studying hard, night and day under Rev. Smith, getting more knowledge for his people. I had the pleasure of spending my time with $Mrs. Kirby, her and son daughter-in-law, Mrs. Kirby and Rev. Smith. They make you feel at home, and will give one the freedom of their home. I visited Leeds on invitation of Rev. E. R Carter, and you have not seen England until you see Leeds. Rev. Carter and Rev. Smith are great friends and Rev. Smith seems to have pleasure in entertaining Dr. Carter's friends. It was through him that I got to meet many of our good people. I visited the church and other places, ending up at the home of Mr. Thomas Smith, of Thomas Smith & Sons, Electrical at Kodley, Leeds, whose business place covers several allotted to it. It is large indeed. They all delighted to welcome us to their home, losing entire of color, but welcomed us as gentlemen, which was indeed pleasing to me. Mr. George E. Smith, was at home, his brother was taking his rest. The ladies entertained us. After talking for sometime and writing a little I went to bed for the night. Early the next morning I was up, and out sight seeing. We went to the City Court and there saw them try some people. A prisoner is given all chance for his freedom in this country, and he has the benefit of the doubt. He is permitted to question the witness, to plead his own case and the like. I will not enter into several cases I saw disposed of. The college, the art gallery, the public library, the city hall, and other places were visited. Then I returned to the house, where Mrs. Kirby Smith had a fine dinner ready. After dinner I went down got on the carriage for Liverpool to start for America. I did not tell you that when I passed through London, I met Revs. A. R. Robinson, F. L. Lights, P. W. Wesley, L. G. Jordan. — Skipworth, and other Americans. It was while in Leeds, that Rev. E. R. Carter received letters and telegrams urging him to join in 'the 100 days meeting. He had not accepted. Letters after letters were coming to him inviting him to various places. I was delighted to see one of our men getting so much recognition. I am bidding good bye to Europe, but I want to say that I am going to return again. A. C. E. L. of Allen A. M. E.

Seldom has a funeral been as largely attended as was that of Joseph Gans, at Whatcoat Epworth M. E. Church last Saturday. The body of the deceased former lightweight champion lay in state for five hours and thousands of people availed themselves of the opportunity to see him. Before the funeral party arrived, at least 5,000 spectators crowded near the church. The services were conducted by Rev. Alfred Young, assisted by Rev. F. R. Williams and C. Gilmore Cummings. The obituary services of the Monumental Lodge of Elks, the Knights of Pythias and the Silver Spring Social were read. Solos were sung by Mrs. Phoebe-Cauk, Lloyd Gibbs and Nelson Tunstall. The floral offerings which were numerous and handsome, required three large wagons to take them to Mt. Auburn Cemetery, where interment took place. Robert A. Elliott had charge of the funeral arrangements. PRESS COMMENTS. HARRY SMITH In TheSan Fransisco Chronicle: Modestly, as would best befit the character of the colored man who held the lightweight championship from the time he knocked out Frank Erne at Fort Erie, in one round, in 1902, until he was himself beaten down by Battling Nelson, at Tacoma Arena on July 4, 1908, the telegraph dispatches have told the story of the passing of the old ring master. In the private office of James W. Coffroth, there hangs a cartoon drawn by a well-known Eastern artist. It depicts Joe Gans as Napoleon searching for new fields to conquer. Under neath is written "Superiority." That cartoon was drawn following the Nelson-Gans bout at Goldfield, Nevada. Gans represented what the prize ring has always lacked—the fighter, in his place. Further than that, as an exponent of boxing rather than of fighting in its harded aspects, Gans did much to keep the game in a healthy condition. It is because of these features that the death of Gans has attracted so much attention, not only tron followers of the game but from the world at large. The modesty of Gans was a trait which has been commented upon far and wide. Never, if he knew it, would Gans intrude, where he that his company was not wanted, and when conditions compelled him to meet strangers, he conducted himself as a gentleman in every respect. This attitude was unfailing, and the championship never caused him to forget it. JACK CARROLL In The Baltimore Evening News. When a man who dares to under take the writing of pugilistic history sets to his task, among the greatest fighters the world has ever produced, he must rank well towards the top the name of "Joe" Gans. A fighter to be reckoned among the truly great men of the ring, must have been the possessor of a knockout punch, ability to box in scientific style, and have shown himself to be a ring general of no mean order. In each of these respects, Gans will stand comparison with the mit men of all ages, colors and sizes, and suffer none for it all. By many he is considered, when every angle is noted, the greatest fighter who ever stepped between the ropes and those who have dared to put others atop him have mentioned mighty few. Baltimore Evening Sun. There is no question about the position that Gans will occupy in the history of the ring. He was one of the greatest lightweights that ever lived. He was a consumate master of ring tactics. He was exceptionally skillful, was a clean, had puncher, and could hand out a short jolt scarcely less effective than Fitzsimmons. He was an unusually clean fighter, and, with George Dixon, set an example that could be emulated with advantage by some of the fighters of to-day. Gans shunned the notoriety which invariably accompanies fistic distinction. It will be a long time before we shall look upon another such lightweight. Dr. Wm. J. Williams was in Cumberland, Md., last week. CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH Cor. S. Caroline and Bank St. Rev. Daniel W. Shaw, D. D., pastor. 11 A. M., Sermon by the Pastor 2.30 P. M., Sunday School. A. J.

Interesting Reports of What the Grand Lodge Has Accomplished Under the Able Leadership of Grand Master Henry Glaxton Binford-Sketch of His Career and Work. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The annual meeting of the Masonic grand lodge of Alabama, which was held at Montgomery during the week ending Aug. 20, was largely attended. The reports showed great gains in both membership and finance during the year. At Birmingham in February of this year Endowment Secretary-Transurer C. W. Allen said that the books of the grand officers showed receipts amounting to $42.500.63. Of this sum $28.453.00 went to the beneficiaries of deceased members and for other expenses incurred by the order. This left a cash balance of $14.323.73. The report of the widows and orphans' endowment department for the year ending June 24, 1809, showed receipts with a balance of $62,273.71. Of this sum $58,300 was paid to widows and orphans, leaving a balance, after taking out current expenses, of $2,482.50. There is much rejoicing over the phenomenal success of the order under the leadership of Grand Master Henry Claxton-Binford, whose interest in the M. H. HENRY CLAXTON BINFORD. order never lags. A sketch of his career and achievements at this time seems most appropriate. Henry Claxton Binford was born in Madison county, near Huntsville, Ala. in 1851. He received his early education at Rust Normaf institute, Huntsville, which was established by northern philanthropists. He is noted for his frankness, generosity and manliness. These traits of character have won for him a host of friends, who lavish upon him their confidence and esteem. Grand Master Binford has had a busy life since the day he left school. His first educational work was that of public schoolteacher at Bleecher's Ford. Madison county, Ala. He also taught at Courtland and for many years in the city schools of Huntsville. Settling down early in life by his marriage May 1, 1873, to Miss Frances Ann Hendley. Mr. Bintford reared and educated a family of four children—Henry Connard, now principal of the Huntsville city schools; Pearl Amanda, now of the city school faculty; Charles King, a music professor, and John Allen, his private secretary. He had a distinguished career in politics. He served for many years as secretary of the Madison county (Ala.) executive committee and afterward as its chairman. He was elected a member of the Huntsville city council in 1901, which position he creditably filled for four years. He was for many years a trusted employee as storekeeper and gauger under the lamented Collector James T. Rapier and for four years—1890-4 a clerk in the United States land office at Huntsville, where he rendered efficient service. As a Mason his career dates from his initiation into Evening Star lodge, No. 6 in 1874, of which lodge he has ever since been a member. He served Evening Star lodge for years as worshipful master and afterward as secretary until succeeded in the latter position by his son, John Allen. The grand lodge of Alabama in 1894 elected him grand secretary, which position he continued to fill until June, 1901, when, in consequence of the death of the late Grand Master Reuben R. Mims, he acceded to that office. Since then he has been continuously re-elected without opposition. Besides the endowment department, now disbursing to widows and orphans $50,000 a year under his supervision, Grand Master Inford takes delight and special pride in the fifty dollar scholarships, established under his administration, for children of deceased MOB VIOLENCE DENOUNCED Colored Citizens of Washington Advise National Movement For Protection. Recent Intrudings in Florida, Texas and in other states of the Union was the subject discussed at a largely attented mass meeting of the colored citizens of Washington, held on Tuesday evening, Aug. 9. All of the speakers were emphatic in their protest against mob violence and the inactivity of the federal authorities in relation thereto. H. A. Clarke in the course of an extended address said: "The south again has made herself conspicuous by the recent lynching of innocent and defenseless Negroes. In violation of the laws of God and man she has been the principal in three of the epheds in world's history—namely, the epoch of slavery and rebellion, the period of Kukluxism and ballot box stulting and the era of lynching, disfranchisement and jim Crowism." The Rev. F. N. Ross, who dwelt at length on the recent horrible lynching at Palestine, Tex., said: "God wants the Negroes to get together and take care of themselves. There are 100,000 Negroes in Washington, and they are told by the white people to run to God with everything." "They are taught to be afraid of themselves. They won't sit out for themselves. If the supreme court of the United States had put down race rioting and bent its efforts to stopping mob violence this Texas slaughter would never have occurred." Other speakers exhorted the race throughout the south as the most effective weapon to join in a national movement for personal protection. The sentiment was approved in the form of resolutions. NEGRO'S LOYALTY PRAISED. By Northern White Woman Who Rojoiced Over Johnson's Victory. In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Press a white woman of Harrisburg, who signed her name "A Mother," referring to the Johnson-Jerries fight, says: I was taken to task for rejoicing over the colored man's victory. I remember that the colored people were stolen by the Dutch, brought here and sold into slavery to make money. The Bible tells us, "Woe to the land, overshadowed by it, the Ferguson who stirs and process it," and this is the beginning of the end, a foretaste of what is coming. For myself, I am not afraid of the colored race. They are a peculiarly loving, loyal friend to all who befriend them (like a faithful horse or dog) and are our best friends when we are together, and their reach to the third and fourth generations" likewise the virtues. My ancestors were always good to the colored people, and, like "the blood on the doorpost," we will be spared when that fearful day comes. The colored race revere my grandfather's name, for he was the first man to offer education to them. He said "the colored people have souls that are built into a house on his pinnatation and sent north for a minister's daughter to teach them. It caused so much trouble with his邻居phishing phone calls and moved and moved to Ohio. Several of the "f faithful" followed him and his brother and sister into that new It is time and space wasted to discuss this miserable lowering folly with creatures who try to pass for "civilized men" of the present generation, but we hope, to improve the rising one to better citizens and statesmen. We are needed to our sorrow the folly of trying to depend on the men in power to suppress this shameful business. It is now time for action against the lowering demoralizing influences of the rabble. AMERICAN MANHOOD THE STANDARD OF FREEDOM. Enfranchisement of. Women. Would Lessen Crime Against the Negro. So we are to have a few more "grandfather clauses," observes the Pittsburgh Courier, this time of the western type. Soon we'll have the suffragist's "grandmother clause." We always have loved our grandmamma's way of doing things. She had a virtue for honesty. "Twas the old "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The enfranchisement of women will minimize the crimes of injustice committed against the Negro. Because the same power of influence attained by her from birth, education and Christion religion would place woman so high above her less fortunate sisters that she would not countenance, neither would she consiple, to rob men of their citizenship, especially when that citizenship went for American maudhood, the standard of freedom guaranteed under the constitution of a Christian country. Liberal Aid For Dickson Orphanage. In donating the sum of $47.50 to the Dickson Colored orphanage, at Fort Worth, Tex., at its recent meeting in that town the Masonic grand lodge of Texas set a good example. The orphanage was also the recipient of $91, which was given by the Taborian grand lodge at its meeting at Fort Worth on July 2%. By the liberal contributions of these two grand bodies the managers of the orphanage have been greatly helped in meeting the financial obligations of the institution. Negro Fair and Farmers' Congress. The promoters of the central Texas Negro fair and farmers' congress are jubilant over the success, which attended the three days' meeting of the organization, which closed at Marlin, Tex. on Saturday, Aug. 13. The fair was largely attended by persons from almost all sections of the state. The reports and exhibits gave evidence of the wonderful progress which our people are making in the Lone Star State. The mineral wealth of the South has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, copper, titanium man or men who discover their true location. A wonderful instrument called the Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used, with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular minesal sought for. Lost end buried treasures of money, gold and silver, are located. Successful miners and prospectors these needles, but in the past they have been difficult to find. We understand that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa., handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be gled to correspond with anyone interested in the subject.

They are very nice. Three million matches are lighted in this world every minute in every hour of each day.

These figures do not include matches made in heaven, of course. Much Worse Things. To be poor is not always pleasant, but worse things than that happen at sea. Small shoes are apt to pinch, but not if you have a small foot; if we have little, means it will be well to have little desires. Poverty is no shame, but being discontented with it is. It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness: — Spurgeon. Honest Officials. What we have to demand in ourselves and in our public servants is honesty—honesty to all men; and if we condone dishonesty because we think it is exercised in the interests of the people, we may rest assured that the man thus showing it lacks only the opportunity to exercise it against the interests of the people.—Theodore Roosevelt. A man complained to the Tonbridge Board of Guardians that when, he wrote inquiring as to the condition of his wife, who had been sent to the county asylum, he received a reply that she was "much about the same". He had since found out that she had been dead 12 months. Savs Marcus: Begin the morning by saying to thy self: "I shall meet the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envilous, and unsocial. But I who have seen the nature of the good, that it is beautiful, and of the bad, that it is ugly, can be injured by none of them." - Marcus Aurellus. Some Blast. Something like a blast took place at Bonnao quarries the other day when upward of 400,000 tons of granite was displaced. The face of the rock was 300 feet high and the powder was located 80 feet from the quarry floor. The Music Was Fatal. A New York politician once found it necessary to attend an entertainment at an orphans' home and he was having a bad time of it. The selection by the boys' band was particularly distressing.

Trettilein, '84 Rosett St., New Haven, Conn., says: "I was propped up in a chair for 23 weeks. So intense was the pain when I moved that I thought I would pass away. The kidney action was irregular and the secretions scalded. Three doctors gave me no relief. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me, and for ten years the cure has been permanent." Remember the name—Doan's.

"Doctor," called little Bingle, over his telephone, "my wife has lost her voice. What the dickens shall I do?" "Why," sald the doctor, gravely, "if I were you I'd remember the fact when Thanksgiving day comes around, and act accordingly." Whereupon the doctor chuckled as he charged little Bingle $2 for professional services.-Harper's Weekly. And They Wondered! Judge Nicholas Longworth, who used to sit on Ohio's supreme bench, looked unnaturally grave, and a neighbor, in recognition of his facial depression, named a pet cwl "Judge Longworth." It was the very next day that an excited maid broke up his wife's garden party. "Oh, madam," said she. "Madam! Judge Longworth has 'laid an egg." The Summer Girl. "How'd you like to be engaged to a millionaire?" "I was engaged to one all last summer, and he seldom spent a dime. I want to be engaged to a young man who is down here for two weeks with about $200 in his roll."

Delicious, who ome, economical food which saves a lot of cooking in hot weather. Every Vessel Passing Through the Big Ditch Must Carry a Number of Every war vessel carries from one to twenty searchlights, and every vessel of any description whatever passing through the Suez canal has to carry one of special pattern. A searchlight consists essentially of an arc lamp of special form, a parabolic mirror and a base to hold the lot, the case being mounted so as to be capable of movement in two directions, viz., vertically and horizontally. The hood, as this case is called, is made of sheet steel about 3-32 inch thick. The turntable trunnions, etc., are cast in gunmetal, the arms which support the hood are of cast steel. The lamp box is formed as part of the hood. The mirror is carried on springs in the back cover, and at the front of the hood is a "front glass" mounted in a gunmetal ring, and the dispersion lens, when carried, is hinged on in-front of this. Training is carried by means of a worm and worm-wheel, or by a rack and pinion. Slewing is effected by means of a pinion which gears into a crown wheel on the underside of the turntable, or else it is done directly by hand. The Suez canal regulations require that the projector shall be capable of giving the light required under two different conditions—in the first case a broad, flat beam of light illuminating both banks and the canal uninterruptedly, this being used when no other ship is approaching; in the other case they require a beam having the same angle of divergence and consequently the same width as the first, but divided into two portions, with a dark interval between, thus giving light, at both sides but not directly in front and so not interfering with navigation of the approaching vessel. AN EDUCATED COOK NEEDED Kitchen Experiments Are Often at the Expense of the Physical Well-Being of the Household. Social standing depends partly upon the nature of the individual's calling with regard to the preparation necessary to the exercise of his function. The civil engineer is presumed to be a more agreeable companion for cultured persons than the stable boy, because of his education. The lawyer is required to know more than the seavenger. The surgeon is likely to be more widely read than the pugilist. The diplomat is, presumably, better informed than the chimney sweep. The cook, as at present constituted, belongs at the bottom rung of the social ladder, because her calling has no educational requirements. The individual may read Browning, Hogarth, Schopenhauer and Shakespeare, or interpret Wagner and Strauss. But the class is not required to know the difference between the meanings of "physiology" and "phlebotomy." The cook is not expected to know anything more about the ingredients that should enter into the composition of a corn dogger than she can learn in the course of often-repeated experiments and at the expense of the physical well being of the household. She neither knows nor cares what the effect of certain foods may be, and the employer shares her ignorance. It is said to be a fact that more persons die before their time from the results of eating than from drinking—Louisville Courier-Journal. A. Nice Distinction. He was hurrying for the train, somewhat impeded by a clumsy crate containing a large, live turkey. As he approached the gate the guard stopped him with a gesture. "You can't take that through here," he said. "That'll have to be checked or go by express." "But I can't stop," declared the passenger. "I've got to get this train," and he tried to push through again. The guard held him back. "That is baggage," he said, firmly, "and it must go in the baggage car." "Oh, no," replied the other, with a charming and confident smile, "it's luggage. Don't you see I'm lugging it?" and he had slipped by before the astonished guard had caught his breath—Youth's Companion. Millionths of a Second. In experiments with high-power explosives used in guns, British scientists have employed chronoscopes which registered the velocity of the projectile at ten successive points before it left the bore. It is possible with this apparatus to register time to the millionth of a second. In the older experiments, where the velocity did not exceed 1,500 or 1,600 feet a second, the projectile recorded its time by knocking down a series of steel triggers projecting into the bore, but with velocities of 2,500 feet and more a second the trigger, instead of dropping frequently plowed a groove in the projectile and another device was necessary. Dreadful. An old Scotch peasant woman had learned that her minister had just been made a doctor of divinity, and so she went to him and asked him to cure her of rheumatism. "I'm not that kind of a doctor, Nanny," said he, and gave her a shilling. Further down the street the old woman was heard to complain that "it's an awful thing this makin' doctors o' bodies that ken nothing at a' aboot bottels or blesters, noders or pills." COUNTRY BOYS, THINK TWICE Should Ask Themselves What Is Really to Be Gained by Plunging Into City Life. Before making a plunge into city life, country boys should ask themselves what is really to be gained by it. Perhaps in their quiet, rural home some stray advertisement has reached them, promising to young men high salaries for light work. Hundreds of advertisements are framed for the special purpose of deceiving the unwary. They accomplish their purpose, however, and, a large number of young men rush up to the city, dazzled by the confusion of promises. A boy from the farm answers one of these ads. "Life may have been slow at home, but there was always good food and in plenty, and there was some one to care for him in the old farm house. When he gets to the big city he finds that the "light work" consists in working all day in a badly lighted and ill-smelling workshop, where scores of other men and boys are employed at wages hardly high enough to keep body and soul together. We all know what comes next. The boy has left home and is ashamed and unwilling to return and he must take the consequences and may find him self in some cold garret, lonely, overworked, despondent and miserable. Better remain at home than risk the failures, which attend, so many young men who go to the city in pursuit of high pay for light work.—Jno. Barrett. HIS WIFE'S MITT SCHEME Had Reason to Thank the God of Silence and Glory in His Self- Repression. The man who sometimes deludes himself for about five minutes at a time into the belief that he knows as much as his wife does feel somewhat ashamed when he saw the other women in the car who wore nice white gloves look, quizzically at his wife's white gloves, which were covered with an extra glove that looked like a cheesecloth baseball mitt. Several times he was on the point of alluding to those mitts and asking her if it wouldn't be just as well to take them off, but he didn't, and after they got to the reception he thanked the little god of silence, because while all the other women who had clung to straps and door jams had soiled gloves by that time his wife simply peeled off her cheesecloth mitts and displayed immaculate gloves which evoked enough glances of envy to make up for the ridicule of the trip downtown. "What gossie those other women are not to protect their gloves the way I do when riding in a car," said his wife sweetly, and the man, glorying in his former self-repression, said: "Ain't they?" The Bower-Bird. One of the most remarkable creatures known to natural history is the bird-bower, which builds a miniature cabin made of small sticks and surrounds it with a perfectly-kept ring or circus, composed of twigs and moss, studded with brilliantly-colored flowers, fruits and insects. As the curious ornaments become faded they are constantly replaced by fresh ones, so that scientists are inclined to credit the bird with the possession of the artistic sense. In these decorated playgrounds the males meet and fly their court to the female, the bower being used purely for purposes of recreation and not as a nesting-place. These birds are chiefly found in the Owen Stanley Range of British New Guinea. Dust In the Eye If dust or other foreign substance blows in to the eye do not rub the eye nor endeavor to remove the irritating intruder for a moment or so. Close the eye, holding the lids together with the fingers until the tear duct begins to work, then open the eye aid, unless the dust has caught fast to the ball. it will be washed out by the tears. Those who ride often in open cars or through dusty streets should wash their eyes before retiring with a solution of salt and water or boracle acid and water, a teaspoon of either the salt or the acid being added to a glassful of water and a bit of absorbent cotton or the fingers used for the applying. Guns Cheap in Brazil. Firearms sell at comparatively low prices in Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian cities, owing to the comparatively low duty and to the fact that many European and American manufacturers are reputed to sell their surplus products in this market at a low margin of profit. Retail prices for all kinds of firearms range from about 35 per cent. to 50 per cent. higher than in the United States, while prices of ordinary household necessities are 200 per cent. to 300 per cent. higher. Curt Criticism. "I shall never forget my debut," Sir Charles Wynnham remarked to the writer on one occasion. "We opened at Washington, and I appeared as a character who had to declare, "I am drunk with love and enthusiasm." Having uttered the first three words I was seized with stage fright and said no more. This is what I read in a New York paper next morning: "A Mr. Wynnham represented a young man from South America. He had better go there himself."—"Tit-Bits." CONQUERING THE WASTE SAND European Countries Solving Great Problem by Planting Vast Areas With Trees. Europe is conquering the waste land problem by planting trees. Every year thousands of acres of land are being reclaimed in this way by the leading countries and put in a condition preparatory to a profitable timber harvest in the years to come. Not only many previously forested areas which have been cut over have been planted up, but a number of the countries are also devoting their energies to establishing a forest cover on dunes and other waste lands, and, in fact, on all land which is more valuable for producing timber than for other purposes. France has been one of the foremost European countries in reforestation, especially in the mountains, where planting has been a powerful factor in controlling torrents and regulating stream flow. The state each year buys uncultivated lands, in the mountain regions, and up to January, 1907, it had acquired 503,000 acres in this way. Communes, associations and private individuals are also assisted in reforestation work by grants of money and by supplies of plants and seeds. Altogether 429,000 acres have been planted through this public assistance. Complete exemption from taxation for a long period of years is granted in the case of plantations made on the tops of slopes of mountains. A reduction of three-fourths for all land planted or sown, whatever its situation, is also made. Lew Dockstrader Tells Story to Illustrate His Theory That We're All Superstious. "We're all superstitious," says Lew Dockstrader. "Ever hear the story of the two negroes who got into an argument? One says to the other: 'Till bet you' a dolla that. I got the nerve to sit on a tombstone in de graveyard while the clock strikes, midnight.' The bet was made, but the other man had to go along to see whether or not the conditions were carried out. On the way to the cemetery, the second man fell and broke his wooden leg. But he was so anxious to win that dollar that he took the leg off and hobbled on to the cemetery, one hand on the other negro's shoulder. They seated themselves on a prostrate tombre. 'Do I win that dolla, or do I not?' asked the man who made the proposition, triumphantly. Just then the clock in the church steeple began to strike. From behind a bush near by a sheeted figure advanced upon the negroes. 'Whafoah are you all distubluh mah rest?' it asked. The negro that bet he wasn't afraid started for home on the keen jump. The only way out was through a narrow lane, bounded on either side by tall hedges. About half way down the lane the running negro heard a patpat-pat just behind him. He could feel the hot breath of his pursuer on the back of his neck. A hand reached out and touched him on the coat, and he just doubled his speed. 'Oh, mab goodness, niggha!' said the voice of the one-legged man, 'git outman mah road and yo' can keep yo' ole dolla!' The Wise Tailor. "The late Goldwin Smith," said a magazine editor. "exuded good advice on all occasions. "You know how barbers, in their desire to sell tonics and pomades, make coarse and insulting references to their patrons' baldness? Well, a Montreal barber once criticised the condition of Prof. Smith's hair in that way, saying: "Hopelessly bad as your scalp looks, slr, my Scalpene-Dandurffia will fix it up." "The aged philosopher flushed and retorted: "You are very foolish to point out your patrons' physical defects. That saddens and displeases them. It doesn't make them buy. It drives them away, and they will never return. You would be wiser, my poor fellow, to imitate a successful down town tailor. This man says to every patron as he takes his measure—he says it to a fat and lean, short and tall, alike: "It's an extraordinary thing—of course you already know it, sir—but you have exactly the same measurements as the Apollo Bilidvere." Eye Shows Disease. According to Dr. W. Anderschon, a Norwegian scientist, all diseases and injuries are registered on the iris, either by color spots or lines, each organ of the body being connected up with the iris and having its representative place there. The right eye is the indicator for the right part of the body and the left eye the indicator for the left half. The new system of diagnosis is said to have been discovered by Professor Peozely of Poland, who, in his boyhood, caught an owl and the bird's right leg was broken. The boy noticed a black stripe in its right eye. He kept the bird and found that when the fracture was well the black line disappeared. Race Growing Sturdier Dr. Sargent of Harvard finds that the present day undergraduate is an inch tall and four or five pounds heavier than the undergraduate of 30 years ago, and he lays it to athletes. We doubt that. Why not lay it to the generally believed fact that their mothers are taller and more healthy than were their grandmothers? One Side Leigh "Senator William Alden smiles, tells of an Irish justice of the peace out in Michigan. In a trial the evidence was all in and the plaintiff's attorney had made a long and very eloquent argument, when the lawyer acting for the defense arose. "What are you doing?" asked the justice, as the lawyer began. "Going to present our side of the case." "I don't want to hear both sides argued. It has a tindency to confuse the coort." - Washingtonian. MUNYON'S WITCH HAZEL SOAP Makes the skin soft as velvet. Improves nuy complexion. Best shampoo made. Curas meas skin eruptions.

It irritated me that I began to scratch it, and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night, and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as to matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company. I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife, is simply, indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies, but I might as-well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being, cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my leg was as fine as the day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 E. Cabot St. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909." At the Shore.

It was on the 8th morning of August 4th Just one year ago today, That our Saviour took our mother, Called her from this world away, Oh, the memory of that evening As we stood with aching heart, Seeing the one I loved so dearly Pierced by death's most cruel dart, How we stood near her rocker And we b d her farewell, And we echoed, "Good bye mother!" What we suffered no tongue can tell Out in the lon-ly gravy-yard, Bee cath the cold, cold chill, There they laid our dear mother, Just two years ago today By her Children, Gough and Steward
