THE AFRICAN MERICAN LEDGER. VOL. XIX. NO. 6. NEGROES ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH CONDITIONS DR. W. E. B. DuBOIS MAKES ABOVE STATEMENT IN A STIRRING ADDRESS IN WASHINGTON Noted Sociologist Speaks Before Large Audience At Opening of Bethel Literary and Historical Society—Says Rights Will Not Be Given To The Race So Long As It Sits By And Waits For Them—Negroes Must Agitate Criticises Dr. Booker T. Washinfiton's Policy. (Staff Correspondence.) Washington, Oct. 5—The country-wide campaign which is to arouse the American people against the jinquities of race disfranchisement, separate cars, interior Negro schools and other anti-Negro measures may be said to have been formally launched last night at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, when Dr. W. E. Burghardt DaBois delivered an address on "The Forward Movement." The lecture was given under the auspices of Bethel Literary and Historical Society, and the various telling polis were enthusiastically applauded by the large and representative audience. The speaker declared that during the past fifteen years, while coloured leaders had insisted upon the race acquiring wealth and property in order to enjoy political and civic equality, disfranchisement and a train of anti-race measures had been inflicted upon the Negro. The negroed publicist was introduced by Mr. G. C. Wilkerson, and he snook in part as follows: "In the attitude of the dominant race there has come in the last fifteen years a series of disastrous events which calls for serious thought on our part. The disfranchisement movement, which had reached only two States in 1895, has today swept over the whole Southern South, is pending in the border states, and is actually trying to invade the North. The movement to cut down and discourage Negro education has been so successful that in the South, the Negro public schools are worse than they were fifteen years ago, and in the border states they have not made reasonable advance. Not only this, b. the support given to Negro secondary private schools has been growing smaller and smaller every year while the Negro secondary schools supported by the States have their curriculum progressively cheapened and spilled in every instance. Discrimination in civil rights has gone so far that the battle against it currently been given up, even in the North, and we face today continually an opinion among our people that the wave of prejudice against Negroes in the United States is inevitable and that there is no use fighting it. Now, while I think it is perfectly true that the advance of the Negro race can be claimed as due to no party or set of doctrines, on the other hand, it seems to me certain that the policy of trying to make friends with the enemies of the Negro race, of surreading ground to them, of yielding without protest or arguments has undoubtedly been responsible for a great many of the calamities which are threatening us. "The greatest, and most unbearable argument that has been brought against my attitude in the last ten years has been the as-ertion which I have met time and time again that I am practically the only Negro in the United States who objects to present conditions; that I and a small group of personal friends are protesting and making a good deal of noise about disfranchisement, civil rights and the curtailment of education, while as a matter of fact, not only are the great masses of the colored people satisfied with their condition, but the real leaders of the race are also satisfied. "I know as you know, that it is perfectly false. I know as you know that of the educated thinking colored people, nine out of ten demand the thing which I have been trying to demand; but the thing that exasperates me is that when I seek to prove this to doubtful people I find it exceedingly difficult to do so. If I send them for interviews to colored people, these colored people have their gib of contentment ready. They are sure that the Negro has advanced and that the white man is going to give them their rights, while the sit still to receive them. If I refer them to Negro newspapers, I will find in their columns almost no straight out protest against present conditions. If I refer them to the speeches and doings of the leading men, I find on the one hand Mr. Washington in Europe assuring the world that all is well in the United States and again and again men among his of education and ability, meekly and silently submit to humiliation and insult such as no man ought to bear without protest. All of which flatly contradicts my assertion that the Negroes are not only not satisfied with present conditions but are exceedingly dissatisfied and apprehensive of the future; that they regard disfranchisement as a denial of the fundamental rights of men; that they see in civil discrimination a denial of their manhood and that they know that educational discrimination is deliberately trying to deprive them of trained leadership. "Under such circumstances it seems to me it is the business of the Negro race to nail this wide-spread lie that they are content and in such a way that will, quietly or noily, privately or in public, in speech or public conversation, lose no opportunity to let the people of the world know that ten million human-beings in this country are not willing to be classed less than men." SCHOOLS OPEN Over Two Hundred Pupils at The Opening of School. Salisbury, Md., Oct. 3—The colored industrial high school opened today with an enrollment of 900. Principal Gordy will have the charge of the school again this year and he is able assist by a course of efficient teachers. Miss Mamie L.

OLD GUARD IS GRADUALLY COMING TO THE FRONT EX-GOVERNOR PINCHBACK, OF LOUISIANA, WILL GET A POSITION IN N. Y. CUSTOM HOUSE. The Recognition Of This "Grand Old Man" Will Be Hailed With Delight By Right-Thinking Negroes Throughout The Country—Two Other Prominent Positions To Be Awarded Shortly Emmett J. Scott, Of Tuskegee, Is The Man Of The Hour—Personal And News Notes. Bureau of The Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St., N. W. Washington, Oct. 0.—A second encouragement to the race lies in the agreed upon designation of Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, one of the "Old Guard's" most picturesque figures, as an attacke of Internal Revenue Service, with headquarters in New York City. The place will carry large responsibilities and emoluments of a size comr ensurate, in the main, with Gov. Pinchback's valued service and personal dignity. The duties will be congenial and the Governor will be found to fit into the post like a hand in a glove. It is an open secret that at least two other places of honor and profit are being reserved for the colored voters, and the announcement of names and stations may be expected from the White House at almost any moment. Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute, who is in a position to know much of the inside sentiment of those responsible for the care of the Negro's interests in political affairs, spent Monday in the city, and after conferences with a number of officials close to the administration, gave out the statement that it was his opinion that President Taft was disposed to give liberal recognition to his loyal supporters, and that he felt very sure that the president's friendship would be emphasized very shortly in a fashion so substantial that his sincerity could not be doubted. Mr. Scott was enroute to Worcester, Mass., to attend the Conference of "The Near East and Africa," which opened Oct. 4th at Clark University. By invitation, Mr. Scott is to address the conference on "On the United States and Liberia." On Saturday at I o'clock, Mr. Scott is announced for an address before the "Twentieth Century Club," one of Boston's most famous institutions. The honor of appearing before this body is regarded as one of rare distinction. George W. Ellis, for eight years Secretary of the American Legation at Monrovia, Liberia, was in the city Sunday. He went to Clark University this week to the conference on "The Near East and Africa," and spoke on Friday morning on "Dynamic Factors in the Liberian Situation." Since his retirement from the diplomatic service Mr. Ellis has been sojourning in Chicago. Mr. John C. Dancy will be one of the party that is to accompany Dr. Booker T. Washington on his "educational pilgrimage" through the State of North Carolina, beginning Oct. 28. Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson has been deputy deputy of the Order of St. Luke.

It is expected that they will be six companies this year and that every boy will line up with the battalion HON W. T. KERNON VERNON OUSTED FROM REGISTERSHIP Register of Treasury Breaks With Party Leaders— Will Be Succeeded By J. C. Napier (Staff Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 7.—The political sensation, as well as the topic of conversation, was the announcement that Hon. William T. Vernon is to resign as register of the treasury, a position he has filled for nearly five years. During Mr. Vernon's term of office he has never had the cordial support of the leaders here and elsewhere, and, in fact, it is said, he never made a consistent effort to cultivate their friendship. He owes his appointment here to the untiring efforts of Bishop Grant, who forced Booker T. Washington to give away in pushing S. Laing Williams, of Chicago, for the position. Mr. Vernon was appointed with the solid backing of the Kansas delegation in Congress, but his influence has been wannin in his state since his friend, Senator Long was defeated for the nomination by Senator Bristow. Coupled with this is said to be the dislike of Governor Stubbs, of Kansas. Before coming here Mr. Vernen was president of the Western University, at Quindaro, which is partially supported by the State. Sometime ago, Governor Stubbs demanded that he relinquish the presidency of the school or his position here, and he gave up the former. Last July over the protest of the Governor and with Mr. Vernon's consent, according to Bishop Grant, the trustees elected Mr. Vernon head of the school, and the announcement that he would shortly resign here and return to his old position. The register promptly denied this, and said he was never more satisfied here than now. The politicians evidently got to work, and then came the announcement that James C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., had been tendered the position and Mr. Vernon loses out at both ends. He is preparing to leave early in February, and has already given up his handsome home at 420 T street and taken apartments. Mr. Napier was born in Tennessee 62 years ago. He was educated at Oberlin College and the law school of Howard University. He has practiced his profession in Nashville for a number of years and is president of the Ore Cent Savings Bank. He is also chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League and is a close friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington. A few months ago he was offered the Liberian mission, but declined on account of his large business interest here, and his interest in educational work as one of trustees of the Jeanes Rural School Fund. While it is said, Mr. Napier will regard his appointment, as the crowning achievement of a 'busy and successful life, the appointment is said to be in Hine-with President Taft's efforts to wrest Tennessee from the Democrats. Mrs. Napier is a daughter of the late Congressman Langston, and she and the new register will very likely occupy the old Langston home on Fifth St. near Howard University. Mr. Napier will take charge next February. Mr. Vernon, it is said, has no plans for the future. AT THE HOME OF THE LAMENTED OWEN LOVEJOY IT WAS IN ALTON, ILLINOIS WHERE THE WHITE PEOPLE THREW HIS PRESS INTO THE RIVER. Because He Dared To Advocate The Freedom Of Black Men—These And Other Ungodly Acts Caused The Colonel and General Grant To Hush Forever The Guns of General Lee—Proud of This Achievement By Which We Stand Today As Men And Not As Chattel. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Alton, Ill.—As I stand in this city today, my mind goes back to my boyhood days, and then that brings before me Owen Lovejoy, the man I heard the white folks talk about when I was a slave boy in the kitchen, and when I went into the big house they would not say much about him. I heard them talk about printing press and "Nigger." I was in the dark and they wanted to keep me so. I am now in the place where I can realize just what, that—meant. It was here that the white folks threw into the river the printing press, because Lovejoy dared to advocate the freedom of us black folks. Well they hushed his voice, and stopped the printing press; but he sowed the seed which led me and General Grant to the front, and hushed forever the guns of General Lee and others. I am proud that this took place, and now I stand today a real man and not chattel. I want that our children shall ever know of these things They shall know of them. I am going to do my part. There are many interesting events connected with that war, and many men have passed into eternity and will never tell their, part down here on earth. We are who left must talk about it until we are unable to talk and that will not be so much longer. But I am inspired when I see so many bright young people coming on to take our places, and I am willing to die feeling that the country is safe. I do not want to, go on record as a complainer, nor do I want to discourage any of our young people, but it has always been my aim to bring to the front the young men and women who were worthy as well as those who were not young. I have thought it well for them all to marry, and they are taking me at my word and doing their part. Speaking of them getting married: I am now in receipt of a letter informing me of the Prof. George H. Oliver and Miss Alice B. Carter, of Clarksdale. Miss. Prof. Oliver is principal of the school of Clarksdale, and has been engaged in school work for a number of years. Mrs. Oliver comes from Frankfort, Ky., and is the cousin of Charles Stewart. She graduated from the State Normal School and then entered life as a teacher. In Clarksdale the principal recognized her ability and thought the Lord had put her into the world for a companion to him. Whether this is true or not the result is the same. He won her hand and heart, and now they have started life together. The wedding took place in Frankfort, Ky. It was a swell wedding, and then they went off to see some of the country, returning to Clarksdale, where they are now living make life happy for each other. I told you last week about a big reception I attended in New Orleans given at the home of Col. Lewis, and I told you about meeting the son of Col. Lewis. He is a fine young man. Mrs. S. E. Williams, president of the Phillis Wheley Club is principal of the largest school for our people in New Orleans, and she is a woman of experience and ability. Permit me to mention a few of the names I met at the reception. Misses Deborah Johnson, Emma Williams, M. B. McNeal, Louisa Stewart, Mabel Stewart, Virginia Heinz, Cecil Carter, Mesdames Maud Price, Mamie Beasley and Leona De Luc Reeves. I was in Paris, Ill., when I wrote to you the last time and I have been doing some getting around since that time, until now I am in this place. Miss Continued on Page 5. DR.

THIRTY-SEVEN DEAD AND MANY INJURED Terrific Crash On Sharp Curve at Foot of Hill Near Staunton, Ill.—Two Big Traction Cars Are Bartered Out of All Shape, and Stream of Blood From the Dead and Injured Flows Out of the Debris—Crew of the Local Are Held Responsible. Staunton, Ill. (Special).—Thirty-seven persons were killed and from 16 to 25 injured in a collision on the Illinois Traction system, two miles north of Staunton. Three of the injured and possibly more are not expected to survive. Repors from the wreck up to the present time have been discontent to obtain and, although some of the statements, received from there make the number of injured as high as 50, it is not believed it will run over 25. Several of the dead are prominent officials of the traction system. The collision occurred between a local train; northbound, and an excursion train headed toward St. Louis and loaded with passengers on their way to view the parade of the Velled Prophets at St. Louis. The accident, according to present information, was due entirely to the disregard of orders by the crew of the local, which was in charge of M. A. Leonard, conductor, and John Lierman, of Staunton; the motorman. The local train had orders to pass the southbound train at Staunton. The latter train was running in two sections and the orders given to the local were that it should pass both sections of the southbound train at Staunton. The first section had passed when the crew of the local pulled out on the main truck, headless of the second section, and started north. At a sharp turn, called Dickerson Curve, two miles north of Staunton, the two trains came together in a splintering crash. Dickerson's Curve is at the bottom of a decline both from the north and from the south. The local train and the second section of the excursion train were both on the down grade and moving at a speed of 40 miles an hour when they met. The collision occurred right at the bottom of the double incline and at the sharpest part of the curve. The cars were so close that it was impossible for either of them to stop or slow down. The crews were able to do nothing except set the brakes and jump for their lives. The crew of the local and the crew of the special, which were composed of W. V. Duncan, conductor, and E. J. Young, both of Springfield, III, leaped as soon as they saw the collision was treatable, and all four men escaped without serious injury. They were badly shaken up, but were able to lend assistance to the injured. None of the passengers had a chance for safety as the crash between the cars followed immediately the cries of warning issued by the conductors and motormen as they jumped from the trains. $100,000 FOR DYNAMITERS. Three Men Implicated In Wreck of Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles, Cal. (Special).—Under the stimulus of proffered rewards aggregating $100,000 hundreds of policemen, detectives and private citizens in all Pacific Coast cities are searching for clues that may lead to the arrest of the conspirators who blew up the Los Angeles Times Building last Saturday and caused the death of more than a score of persons and attempted the destruction of the homes of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Times, and of F. J. Zeehdelaar, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association. Police and civil officers believe that at least three men were concerned in the outrages, and the city has placed a price of $10,000 on the head of each. The county voted an additional reward of $5,000 for every man captured and convicted, and members of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association offered a reward of $50,000, of which $25,000 has been subscribed. Upon the assumption that at least three men were responsible for the explosion, the combined offers of rewards thus approximate almost $100,000, a figure almost unprecedented in the annals of criminal pursuits. Justice Moody To Retire. Beverly, Mass. (Special).—President Taft received a letter from Justice William H. Moody announcing that he will resign from the Supreme Court on November 20 next. Justice Moody told the President early in the summer that he would retire this fall if ill health still prevented him from resuming, his seat on the bench. The Justice is crippled with rheumatism and has given up all hope of being able to occupy his seat on the bench before the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases come up for re-argument. Lexington, Ky. (Special) — Victim of another man's feud, Isaac Perkins, a farmer, of Magoffin county, was shot and killed from ambush. The intended victim of the assassin traversed the same mountain path a few hours later and found Perkins' body. Clues to the identity of the murderer, are being kept secret by the authorities of the district. Even the name of the man who had been warned that his death had been planned has not been announced. MANY HURT IN CUP CONTEST Death Stalks at Vanderbilt Auto Races in New York. New York (Special).—Four persons killed, a score more or less seriously injured and many spectators suffering from hurts, constitutes the record of death and disaster which attended the winning of the William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., cup by Harry F. Grant in an Alco, after one of the most daring and stirring automobile races ever known in American sport. The accomplishment of gaining the victory over time was attended by casualties so numerous as to amaze the veterans of many a hard won course, suggesting in its results some Mediaeval journey, in which lives were freely risked and lost for the entertainment of the multitude. The winner of the race attained his triumph in the same automobile in which he won the same race 12 months ago; thus proving that both champion and automobile may come back to the condition in which they made former successes, which notable achievement will go down to history linked with disaster and death. The 278.08 miles of the course were traversed by the victor in 4 hours 15 minutes and 48.39 seconds, practically less than half a minute in advance of Joseph Dawson, who won second place in a Slammer machine, while John Altken, the third in the race, piloted his National over the circuit in 4 hours 17 minutes and 29.72 seconds. The victory was won over what is generally considered to have been the best field of cars ever entered in the classic race on Long Island. It included the production of American automated production, in addition to three Bonz cars, especially built in Germany and imported for the occasion. The contest was a succession of surprises from start to finish, for at least half a dozen times the lead shifted from one car to another. Grant allowed his competitors to show the way for the greater part of the journey, and it was not until half a dozen laps remained to be run that the spectators realized that the unhooded pilot was creeping toward the front Five laps from the finish he took command and, duplicating his wonderful finish of last year, again captured the coveted trophy. His time was the fastest ever made in a long-distance road race in America, and, as compared with the 65.3 miles an hour average made in the Grand Prize in Savannah two years ago, he achieved a record of 65.16. His feat today also surpasses the average of 64.3 miles an hour, which was the best previous record for the Vanderbilt cup race. ROBBED COUNTY OF $15,000. Treasurer's Bookkeeper Confesses. Shortage May Be $10,000. New York (Special).—William Repelven, a bookkeeper in the office of the County Treasurer of Nassau county, Long Island, was arrested after confessing that he had been systematically robbing the county by falsifying tax receipts. He placed the shortage at $15,000, but the authorities say the amount is nearer $40,000. Rapelley's confession implicates J. F. Batukey, Assistant County Treasurer, who shot himself a few days ago. Fearing that disclosing was coming, Batukey left a note to his wife and ended it all. YOUNG MAN KILLS FATHER. Fatal Quarrel Over Parents' Divorce Proceedings. Asheville, N. C. (Special).—Intelligence over the long-distance telepone was received here of the killing of James Lyda, 50 years old, by his son, Meredith Lyda, at Hendersonville.

At 11 o'clock last night insurgents encamped on the heights of Avenida da Lliberdado, tried to force their way to the center of the city, but were driven back by the local troops. As the latter passed the barracks of the First Artillery they discovered that it was in the hands of rebel civilians. They charged upon the civilians and dislodged them with considerable loss to the rebels. The night firing was carried on in complete darkness, the electric lights having failed. The insurgents were led by the retired Admiral Carlos Reis. Their forces were greatly augmented by desertions from among the monarchists, and they succeeded eventually in getting control of the city. The inhabitants are parading the streets, most of them with rifles in their hands, singing the Portuguese "Marsellaise," which has now become the national anthem.

For three hours Summerlin resisted the efforts of members of the police department and the sheriff to arrest him, firing on every person in sight. The Ocala Rifles were called out and surrounded the house. Shortly after nightfall the cordon closed in, the door was broken down and Summerlin's body was found on the floor. Early in the day Deputy Sheriff Hudson went to Summerlin's home to serve a warrant for a minor offense. Summerlin warned the officer not to come into his yard, and when Hudson started in he was shot down.

Under the Able Administration of President W. P. Thirkield the School Has Reached the Point Where It Now Ranks as One of the Big Universities of the East. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Within the past four years the growth of Howard university in buildings, in the number of students as well as teachers and in general educational facilities has been so rapid that the term "Greater" Howard university is now appropriately applied to designate the Howard university of today in Washington. President Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, the present head of the university, is the recognized power behind Mary Ann PRESIDENT W. P. THIRKIELD. this movement. Since he came to the institution, four years ago, the New Freedmen's hospital has been erected at a cost of nearly a half million dollars. This hospital adjoins the school of medicine. In this hospital the medical students of the university have the benefit of clinical facilities beyond those of almost any other medical students in this country. Other buildings that have been erected during President Thirkield's administration are the Carnegie library. NEW CARNEgie LIBRARY. at a cost of $50,000, the generous gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and the new science hall, at a cost of $90,000. A new heating and electric plant will soon be installed. This plant will cost $80,000. The number of students in the freshman class in the school of liberal arts amounts to about 150 this year, which is greater than the number of students in the entire school of liberal arts four years ago. Similar increases are reported in the other schools of the university. Professor George W. Cook, the new secretary and general manager, is the SECRETARY GEORGE W. COOK. able assistant of President Thirkind in the managerial part of the school work, and to his untiring efforts much of the success of the present Howard university is due. The professional schools are now the pride of the university. The school of medicine has reached that point of progress where it is able through its secretary, Dr. W. C. McNell, to announce that the entrance requirements have been raised, so that the prospective medical student in order to enter Howard medical school in addition to the old requirements is required to have completed at least one year in academic physics, chemistry, biology and a reading knowledge of at least one modern language, preferably German or French. For prospective students who cannot meet the above requirements a course designed to prepare them for the successful prosecution of their work in medicine has been arranged by the university. The completion and equipment of the new science hall enables the university to offer unusual advantages for scientific study. Six professors and instructors of the academic faculty give their time to HOWARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. work in physics, chemistry and biology. These courses in science form an essential basis for the study of medicine and are now required by the Association of Medical Colleges. The school of medicine now ranks among the foremost of the medical schools of this country. It is a member of and conforms to the requirements and standards of the Association of American Medical Colleges. The medical college is also registered by the board of regents of the state of New York. Another fact worthy of note is that the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachers, after a thorough examination of the equipment and work of this medical school, besides recommending and indorsing it for the benefits of the fund, also gave NEW SCIENCE HALL. Howard Medical school rank beyond any medical school in the District of Columbia. The school of law and the school of theology are making great progress also. The Howard university of today is truly a great school. Its students number more than a thousand and come from all parts of the world. Some of its professors are among the recognized scholars of this country. Its courses are up to the standard of the great American universities. The time is indeed here when Howard university has secured that enviable reputation of being ranked as one of the "big eastern universities." ADVANTAGES OF FLORIDA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE President Young Encouraged by Help From the State. President Young of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical college is calling special attention of the colored citizens of the state to the fact that it is no longer necessary for them to send their children out of the state for advanced industrial and academic training. The state is now furnishing them such training tuition free. All thoughtful, taxpaying citizens will avail themselves of this exceptional opportunity to educate their children. As a matter of fact, the state is now offering them at the Agricultural and Mechanical college. Tallahassee, free instruction in twenty-three industries, including typewriting and stenography, a collegiate course in science and a course in pedagogy. Portland Voters Are Dissatisfied. Complaint is rife among the colored voters in Oregon-Portland in particular-says the Advocate, that the boss politicians as well as their understudies are giving them slim consideration. Vote insurgent whenever there is an opportunity. Aud. If not, vote with the Socialist party or any other old party save the regular Republicans. They, along with Mr. Taft, are making a strong bid for the southern Democratic vote. For proof of the assertion note the number that are being appointed to the offices which were formerly held by colored men. Southern View of Northern Politics. Politics all over the country is now the topic. Several states will hold important elections. The congressional elections take place in November. All eyes are turned to New York, awaiting the outcome of the fight of the progressives, and the old guard. The outcome will have much to do with the future of the Republican party—Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. Bradstreet's says: Reports from distributive trade centers toils week are rather better. They point, a slightly increased demand from jobbers and retailers, due to cooler weather in some sections, increased marketing of crops, particularly cotton; in others fall festivals attracting buyers and finally to the advance of the season, revealing rather better than earlier unplated outturns of leading crops. Collections, too, show some betterment and a few markets note slightly less tension in local money conditions. Still buying is classed as conservative as a whole and gauged closely by absolute requirements. Industry shows few changes. Iron and steel are quiet and here actual necessities govern takings of crude and finished products. High prices of raw material, particularly cotton, render the position of manufacturers difficult, though feeling in this branch is slightly more optimistic. In the woolen goods trade the outlook is still not entirely clear. It is noted, however, that raw wool at Boston is relatively lower in price than at London. The leather and shoe trades are below normal activity as a whole and buying of shoes is conservative. Advice from the West and South are rather better as to this line, but the New York building trade is disorganized by a strife of 20,000 bricklayers. The coal trade has been benefitted by the advance of the season.

WHY WERE THEY NOY THERE? As is well-known. to almost every ‘ntelligent colored man. in the city, an effort'is being made in the City Couneii, by-ordinance, to prevent colored: people moving on streets now. occupied by’ more than fifty per cent. of white peopie. On Mon- day altersoon of last week: an op- ‘portunity was given those favoring the move to be heard before the joint ‘committee on Police and Jail. This opportunity was taken advantage of’by a large number of white peo- iple \who,.came avd made spécches ‘and others. who’came, to- applaud ‘what the, speakers: said. Io the ‘Audience, were a large number of white women. . “On Monday'of. this ‘week an. op- portunity was giveo the opposition wgchave its say. .Ouly two white ‘men came to express theéméelves and hardly'a corporal’s guard of colored people. “A few'came and expresied themselves in.a-way that did: credir to the’race, and were it'aot for. the fact that, prejudice cuts such'a Sgure ia all that goes on in this’city as welhas politics, there is a possibility that the committee would have been influenced with the arguments made by the colored people. One thing, however, was quite noticeable, aot a colored lawyer or real estate dealer was-présent.. The ministry was: represented by: two or three ‘Baptist and one Presbyterian minister, the African Metbodist'and Methodist being like the lawyers, ‘conspicuous by their absence. Of course there is.room for a difference of opinion, but when it comes to be- ing heard in the defence of our rights as men and citizens, it does seem tous hat those who sare: get- ting their living, principally because ofthe fact of their color, they ought to bethe first ones'to be present. The argament that it is probing us afew cheap white men isa poor ex- cuse of getting out of their duty. ‘The farther excuse that the Council is going to pass it notwithstanding avy opposition on our part is the Jamest krind of excuse. . We expect én and women who are getting.a living out of the race and largely be- cause-of their color to take at Jeast as much interest in what concerns the race as in.a game of law tennis. ‘The Afro-American’ Ledger is heartily tired of this kiad of business and it now serves notice on all con- cerned that ia the Juture they can- not expect any help from. us until they shall come. out solidly at any time when aecessity may require it for the rights of the race they. are said to represent, and especially those who arel:ving of the fact of their color. ‘The very “fact that theer was no one-else present of the wiute race was the more reason why the Afro: Amerlean should have been there to demand a respectful hearing iu therr own behalf, We know ‘that there are any numberof the very best cit: ivens in this city who are upposed to this ordinance, but it does not ef- fect them to the extent that they shall make trouble for themselves by openly opposing it at this trme, od so they were not there. It does effect the colored man and he should have been:present, if not to speak to show at least he was interested. Whenever our rights are in peril we need to protest, no. matter from what source that peril comes. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM COLORED PEOPLE, BUYING AND } SELLING PROPERTY WHERE. WHITES RESIDES: 20 SHE RDITOR. OF 2 SRE: AARC" AMERICAN: You will kindly inform me why is.it that prejudice runs so high that some of our would-be white friends are trying to prevent us from buying ‘property on streets ‘where white people reside. If the City Council or legislature has a right'to say why real estate men or private:citizens should sell their property to, the same council or legislature have'a right to say on ‘what street they should’ purchase bread or meat, orat what store they should purchase clothing, or at what druggists they should . “purchase medicine, or at what saloon -they should purchase beer, or where they shonld purchase any necessity of life. ‘Those disgruntled.and pre- judice people who are always. com- plaining and holding indignation meetings against colored. people who are buying property in neigh- borhoods where-whites reside never say anything about white people woo.settle in neighborhoods where colored people reside, and set up store whose patrons are colored people. ‘The criterian cry is when colored people settle in neighbor- hoods the property depreciates in value. ‘Take Carey street in the 1400 block, houses that sold ten years ago at $800. are now. selling at $1,300 to-$1,6U0, because I pur- chased one myself. That does not seem.as if property is depreciating in value. Druid Hill avenue from Eutaw street to North avenue is pretty well inliabited by colored people. Houses that were rented to white people for $20.00. are, being rented now. to ‘colored people. for $30.00. I want to call our colored friends’ attention to the fact that the members of these indignation meetings are. persons who live in colored: 1ieighborhoods and: whose sotitce of revenue is from the color- ed people. i L.

That innate tendency on the part of the fair consumer to flirt with fashion, playing fast and loose with various commodities, is responsible for the uncertainties that have prevailed during the month. There was such a lack of confidence as to the ultimate acceptance of the various lines prepared by distributors and consumers that buying was somewhat minimized.

It is a food beverage, not a poison like coffee. "I began to use Postum eight years ago, not because I wanted to, but because coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long weary periods to be dreaded and unfitting me for business during the day. "On the advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as directed on the package. As I had always used 'cream and no sugar', I mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color it as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look—like a new saddle." "Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many 'substitutes' for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied, with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years. "I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like it in place of coffee, and receive benefit from its use. I have gained weight, can sleep sound and am not nervous."

Professor Du Bois Wants World to Know of Their Gallantry. Under the caption "An Echo of Brownsville," bearing date of Sept. 23, Professor W. E. B. Du Bols in an open letter to the New York Tribune said: "Late last week the United States forestry department sent the following letter to the officer in command of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, which has been fighting fires in Idaho: I take great pleasure in reporting to you the most excellent and gallant service performed by Company G, Twenty-fifth infantry, from your post. Special mention is made of service and hearty contribution to the forestry department by Second Lieutenant Evan E. Lewis. The work as a whole was most valuable, and viewing the conditions that existed at Avery during the holocaust in retrospect, is unanimously agreed that the work of Company G was well done. Our citizens and personal property would have been lost to vandalism were it not for the protective power of the soldiers. One instance of the fire that stands out most prominently was at the time that the special train at Avery in order to escape the impending disaster. Sergeant John James and Privates Chester Garraud, William Hogue, Roy Green and Grandwill W. Bright were stationed on the train to preserve order and protect women and children to a place of safety. A gantlet of fire was run by this train, the heat being of such intensity that the car windows were expected to be broken at any time. These soldiers remained at the front at the onset of the storm of fire. The story of the fire is replete with many instances of the troops' faithful and excellent service. The co-operation of Captain George J. Holland has been most successful in the history. Words are inadequate to express the most efficient service rendered by officers and men of Company G, Twenty-fifth infantry. Probably few persons who read this message connected it in any way with the late unpleasantness at Brownville, Tex. There is nothing in the dispatch to indicate that this regiment is composed of Negro troops and that it is the same regiment against which Theodore Roosevelt brought the most serious charges and of which he dismissed a battalion from the service without giving the men a trial. Is not this coincidence characteristic of our treatment of the Negro? If some poor black outcast had stolen a chicken in South Carolina the fact would be heralded all over the United States, with mighty headlines announcing his race and color. But just so soon as we have a case of bravery there is not the slightest whisper that the heroes are black men. Then, too, if there is suspicion of guilt on the part of black men any black man that a mob or the president of the United States can get hold of is punished, whether he is guilty or not, and the guilt is specifically and readily fastened on the whole Negro race. But if these same men saved hundreds of women and children from destruction or worse men are conveniently dumb, and the nation gets no intimation either from Theodore Roosevelt or the Associated Press that the praise of these men is the praise of the whole race. It of course makes little real difference whether a brave man is black or white or whether a criminal is white or black, but if we are going to publish the color of criminals why should we forget to publish the color of heroes? The Race Should Heed This Advice. So many times, says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune, we have urged our people to secure for themselves much of the vacant farm lands in this country and thus be fortified for the years to come when these same lands will be out of their reach. Great efforts are now being made to induce a frugal class of immigrants to locate in this country. This will cause the taking up of all these lands. Now is the time for our people to act. We hope that the people of Kansas will not give up the idea of placing the statue of John Brown in the national hall of fame. His heroism and daring deeds of valor were wrought for the nation's good. If Virginia has patriotism and audacity enough to offer the statue of Robert E. Lee for national honor and consideration, how great ought to be the pride of the whole nation in honoring the memory of John Brown? Loyalty of Pittsburgh True Reformers. The members of Enterprise Fountain No. 2558, of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, Pittsburgh, are to be commended for their loyalty to the order at this critical stage of its existence. They are going ahead with the work, holding the members together and making them financial. This is right. If members of the order throughout the country do likewise the Grand Fountain will never die. THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 9, 1910 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT — Matthew 25:14-30 Maryton verse 23. GOLDEN TEXT — "His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I-will make, thee ruler over many lords; thou art into the least of many lords." Text, 25:21. TIME — Tuesday afternoon, April 4. A. D. 30. Immediately following the last lesson. PLACE—On the slopes of Mount Olivet, overlooking Jerusalem. Suggestion and Practical Thought. The parable shines clearest in the light of the circumstances. Jesus and his disciples are still on Olivet, overlooking Jerusalem and the Temple in all their glory. Jesus had just foretold their destruction. Let the disciples learn a necessary lesson from the cause of that ruin. Many and great talents had been committed to the Jewish nation. No nation' had ever received so great a trust as they—the divine Revelation, religious truth, and best of all the Messiah, the Son of God; and thus power to become a blessing to all the world. This nation had refused to use these talents intrusted to them; again and again they had buried the talent instead of using it; and now they were about to murder their Messiah, instead of using him, and thus to bury this talent in the earth. The parable lay in full view before the disciples' eyes. What the city then was, multiplied into the new Jerusalem of the Revelation, could have been their evermore by faithful use of the divinely entrusted talents. The loss of all, "the outer darkness," "the weeping and gnashing of teeth," as the fruit of unfaithfulness, lay in the prophetic vision shown by Christ. And now that buried talent was brought forth and was to be entrusted to the disciples and to the Christian church they were to found. The five talents were now offered to them, and the vital question was what they would do with them. The two courses were made very plain to them by the parable. It was written in letters of light on their sky, printed indelibly on their minds. A man traveling into a far country, and therefore wishing to leave his affairs in competent hands. He represents Jesus Christ who was about to leave his disciples and go to heaven, which was a far country in the sense that his servants could not have visible communication with him. He was to leave the spread of the gospel, and the salvation of the world in the hands of his disciples, although he was with them in invisible but real presence. The servants denote all those to whom the interests of the kingdom of heaven were entrusted. The Jewish rulers are among those represented by the man with one talent, for they looked upon the kingdom of God placed in their charge as a matter of small account compared with their own selfish interests. The apostles and early Christian lenders received some five talents, some two, some one; and so do all Christ's professed followers, and all who have received from Christ the privileges and blessings of his gospel. The principle applies to all men, for all have been entrusted by God with many things. Robert Louis Stevenson was talking one day to the children of a school in Saxon about the Parable of the Talents, and told them there were three possessed by them all. Tongues, to be used to make all about them cheerful and happy. Faces, to be kept as bright as a new silver coin, that they might shine like lamps in their homes. Hands, to be kept employed in useful work cheerfully done. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. He had his lord's approval. Faithfulness, not success, nor the amount gained, was rewarded. God will say "Well done" only to those who have done well. There are no empty compilations in the day of judgment. "Handel tells us that when he wrote the 'Hallelujah Chorus' he saw the heavens opened and all the angels and the great God himself!" A modest man of moderate ability said that he could not expect God's Well done, but he did expect that he would say, Well tried; Well attempted. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord, participate in his joy and share with him in his pleasure, the same kind of joy which our Lord himself feels. Leighton's words on this entering into the joy of the Lord are beautiful: "It is but little we can receive here, some drops of joy that enter into us, but there we shall enter into joy, as vessels put into a sea of happiness." The joy of the Lord Jesus Christ, of which the faithful, like him, shall partake in measure here, and in its fullness herecaster the joy of a free activity in doing right, like the joy of motion in health, like the song of a bird in the morning. Edward Everett Hale writing of George Washington says: "He was always subordinating himself to the duty that was before him. He was born, as we saw, to small opportunities, he made them great. He was educated with comparatively small advantages; he made them the first of advantages. He was brought up among simple people. He learned among the simple people the way in which to dictate to kings and to handle generals. You must be me reverently repeat the words of Scripture: "He was faithful in a few things; he was made ruler over many things." WOMEN RESENT VILE EPITHET Scott Bond Flayed at Protest Meeting Held In Boston. New England Women Astonished and Grieved Over Insulting Remarks of Arkansas Farmer Who Acted the Clown at New York Meeting of National Negro Business League. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Perhaps no criticism, insult or misrepresentation of the race within the past few years has caused such widespread indignation as that which emanated from Scott Bond at the recent session of the National Negro Business league held in New York. The cause of the whole trouble is on account of Mr. Bond's alleged public characterization of the women of the race as "gigger" women; also that they aped white women in dress. He also made other insulting remarks which reflected upon the character of motherhood. To publicly resent this insult the colored women of Boston recently held a mass meeting in which they made known to the world their disapproval of the whole proceedings which gave rise to Scott Bond's allegations. The meeting was held in Society hall and was attended by hundreds of persons who were equally incensed over the unfortunate occurrence. The meeting was called to order by Mme. L. C. Parrish, who is one of the most successful business Mrs. M. race, who in introduction Mrs. M. Simpson, chairman of the meeting, frankly stated that her indignation was not directed so much at Scott Bond, the clown and ignorantus whose T MRS. M. GRAYATH SIMPON. great boasted wealth dwindled so rapidly next day, but at the presiding officer, Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the league. Mrs. Simpson said: We have met here tonight on one of the saddest occasions that we have ever been called together for as a race. Not in the history of the world have we ever seen it chronologically or ever heard of an Irishman calling himself a "Mick" or a "Paddy" nor his women or a "Paddy." Neither have we read or heard of the Italian addressing himself as a "dago" nor his women as "dago" women, nor the Jew calling himself "sheeney" nor his women "sheeney" women. And so I might continue to enumerate every race under the sun that has been nicknamed the American people, and because but one could I find that would attribute to itself or its people a degrading nickname given by the American people at a time which when thought of should make that race hide its face shame and be attributed to formality at the weakness and shame of the American people. Calla Our Bage "Niggar." But instead in this enlightened twentieth century we are started by glaring headlines of the press scattered broadcast over the country stating that a man, one boy, one woman, one boy, one girl, one proud girl call himself "nigger" and the women of his race as "nigger women." Given the Opportunity. And the worst and sadest of it all is an opportunity for such denunciation was given by a gentleman and a scholar of the race, one whom the American people have known since 12,000,000 in his race as their "leader," their "Moses." Is it to be wondered at that many of them rebel, knowing that the race contains men who are far more worthy in principle and who are as scholarly as Washington, pet of white Americans? What It Teaches: It has, furthermore, been thoroughly proved by Scott Bond that industrial education without higher education is like a jewishwash without a tongue [laughter and applause] and should hereafter ever set at rest all controversy for industrial education without higher education as a necessary adjunct. An open letter was sent to Dr. Booker T. Washington at the close of the meeting informing him of its object and asking him to disapprove of Mr. Bond's actions in thus insulting the women's actions in thus insulting the women of the race. Progress of Downingtown School. President William A. Creditt and faculty of the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial school are greatly encouraged over the outlook for a large enrollment of students this fall. Work has been going on at the institution during the vacation season on the buildings, which will enable the school to accommodate a large number of students. M.

George was a manly fellow, yet, surprising as it may seem, he was guilty of a grave charge, a criminal offence—theft, for had he not many times, stolen kisses from his fair sweet heart? Maude, one of the most lovable of girls, was equally guilty as an accessory; she received the stolen property. Each seemed to have perfect confidence in the other, however, and when sentence was pronounced by a properly qualified official, they decided to serve their time together. They remained loyal to the end, neither making any effort to have their sentence abrogated or shortened, but during the course of their long term together several small offences were directly chargeable to them—J. W. B., in Puck. Now. The Sleep Inside. George H. Beatie, jeweler in the old Arcade, and L. E. Ralston, auditor of the News, have jointly and severally decided that sleeping out in the open isn't all that it has been declared to be, says the Cleveland Leader. They were both in a deep snooze out at the Beatie farm, near Chagrin Falls, the other night, when a runaway team from the county fair city turned into the lane leading up to the Beatie estate and came along at full speed. Sound asleep, but dreaming of impending danger, Ralston rolled out of his cot toward the north, and Beatie from his cot toward the south. The runaway horses dashed between the sleepers, oversetting everything in the way, but missing Beatie and Ralston by margins too narrow to be measured. Since that night Ralston has slept in his house and Beatie has found shelter under the ample proof of his house on his big plantation. A Contradiction.

SCHOOL BOARD'S FAIR DECISION Mothers' Club Wins Victory For Colored Teachers. New Orleans Public School Question Thoroughly Aired—Scheme to Supplant Colored Instructors With White Thwarted—V. P. Thomas In Times-Democrat Tells How It Was Done. In a recent issue of the New Orleans Times-Democrat V. P. Thomas gives the following view of the public school question: The colored people of New Orleans are unanimous in their gratification over the outcome of the petition the Colored Mothers' club of the Eleventh ward presented to the school board in behalf of colored teachers for the annex to the Thomy Lafon school. They are also loud in their praise of the consistency of the members of the board, who recognized the justice of having colored teachers for colored schools here in the south, where the policy is to keep the races separate wherever it is possible to do so. The Times-Democrat did not hesitate to open its people's column to letters sent it explaining grounds upon which the colored patrons of the school believed it would be unfair and not in keeping with the public policy of the white people of the south in such matters for the school board to appoint white teachers to teach colored children when there was absolutely no need for it. By doing so the Times-Democrat greatly assisted in making public and bringing before the white people faces that only a few white people knew regarding the attempt to put white teachers in charge of Negro children in the public schools of the city. The Negro people know that the opinion is general among the white people here that colored teachers only are employed to teach Negro schools and that it would surprise many to learn that not only are there several colored schools taught by white teachers, as, for instance, McDonnough No. 6 and a public school in Algiers, but that an annex to the well known Thony Lafon colored school was about to be supplied with white teachers also if the petition of the colored patrons failed to prevent the success of the unjust movement. The white people here can be depended on to stand by cherished principles and to condemn any movement at work to ignore those principles. All that is needed is to get the facts showing that those principles are being ignored called to their attention and they will do the rest to make things accord. The excuse for white teachers employed in Negro schools in the parish of Orleans does not exist any longer. There are now plenty of colored people fit to teach these schools, and white teachers ought not to be required to stand the ostracism and humiliation to which teaching Negro children in the south subjects them. The intelligent colored people all respect the principles the southern white people cherish, and it is, I dare say, but proper that all the white people should respect those principles themselves too. Recognizing the logic of this view, the Times-Democrat was first to open its columns and permit the Negro people to say what was about to happen, contrary to those cherished principles in the school matter. The Item followed, and the States later editorially strongly advised the school authorities that it would be no more than proper and just to grant the petition of the patrons in the Thomy Lafon annex matter. It is to be hoped that the assistance rendered by the Times-Democrat, and the other papers named in the present case will also help in securing places in which schools for the white teachers employed now in the Negro schools in the not far distant future, so that all the colored schools will be taught by Negro teachers as soon as possible. Scott Bond's Offensive Language. The alleged offensive remarks which Scott Bond made at the New York meeting of the National Negro Business Men's league are these: "If the nigger women would quit wearing patent leather shoes and aping the white women and if they would go to the country and stay wad have more and healthier children."

Political Unrest Among Colored Republicans of Kings County. The recent reopening of the Henry Highland Garnet Republican club of Brooklyn for the fall was attended by an unusually large number of members and visitors. The Garnet club is said to be the central organization of the colored Republican voters of Kings county. John A. James, president of the club, says that the large attendance at the opening of the club is due to the fact that there are widespread political unrest and dissatisfaction on the part of the colored voters with their political status in the country. M. B. H. The present contest between the old guard and the progressives was discussed; also the political situation of the colored cit- A. C. COWAN. political situation of the colored citizens of Brooklyn. It is said that the colored voters should have an understanding with the lenders, that colored men in federal employment are not properly treated and that they have the power to shape things and should find a remedy. In the discussion of the situation and how to meet the demands of party affiliation A. C. Cowan, Esq., delivered a very caustic address. He deplored the fact that it seemed providential that the colored voters should be so divided and blind to their best interest. He urged every one present to make an effort to get the men together for mutual understanding before they take a definite stand for the coming campaign. President James is leading the organization with splendid generalship and hopes to make the club's influence and numerical strength felt as a unit at the polls in November.

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY Conductor's Error May Cost Railroad Company Big Money. Miss Rella Mitchell, teacher of grammar and literature in the Kokomo (Ind.) public schools, a pronounced brunette, has sued the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company in the Bourbon circuit court, Kentucky, for damages in the sum of $25,000. She alleges that while she was riding over the Maysville branch of the road from Millersburg, Ky., she was mistaken for a colored woman and was humiliated by being forced by Conductor Robert-Lusk to ride in the Negro compartment. This shows that there are at least some persons who claim to be white who are not one whit lighter than many colored people—Chicago Broad CHURCH WILL CELEBRATE CENTURY OF PROGRESS Macedonia A. M. E. Congregation Preparing For Hundredth Anniversary. The Rev. J. C. Lawton and congregation of the Macedonia A. M. E. church, Flushing, N. Y., are making preparations for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the church. The program is being arranged for a series of special exercises to cover about ten days. Rev. Mr. Lawton has been pastor of the church for several years and has been eminently successful in his work. The services will begin early in October. Many old residents of that section of Long Island will take part in the celebration and will relate many thrilling experiences of life on the island fifty years ago. The opinion in most all sections of the country is that Wherever President Taft or the present national administration is an issue in the campaign this fall defeat is bound to follow. The rank and file of colored voters throughout the country saw the president's mistake in his reference to the race when he delivered his inaugural address, as has since been clearly demonstrated by his actions since that time. The question uppermost in the minds of politicians the country over is, What is going to happen to the Republican candidates this fall If they fall to poll the usual large Afro-American vote? The Democratic party is said to be a biddler for their suffrage and stand ready to do battle against any attempt at disfranchisement. On with the dance! J. M. Bridges Is Still Militant. In a recent issue of the Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine Editor J. M. Bridges dealt a stunning blow to the various secret orders, social and church organizations, for allowing the sale of intoxicating liquors in parks and pavilions where they hold their annual outings. We agree with Mr. Bridges that the practice has an immoral effect upon the young and ought to be stopped. Color more goods, brighter and faster colors than any other dry color.

When Suffering From Backache, Headaches and Urinary Troubles. They are probably the true source of your misery. To keep well you must keep your kidneys well. There is no better kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. They cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. INTERNATIONAL STORY PICTURE A STORY E. C. Hampshire, 708 E. Brambleton St. Norfolk, Va. says: "I suffered from kidnery colic and the pain during some attacks was so severe that it required two strong men to hold me. The only relief I received was from morphine injections. I was completely cured by Doan's Kidney Pills and believe they saved my life." Remember the name—Doan's.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE "When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but it never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909." Why He Wouldn't Hurry. They were riding to church and were late. Several of the party were worried and one remarked: "The audience will be waiting." "Well," observed the old pastor (who was to preach that forenoon), "don't let's get over it if we are a little late. It reminds me of the man who was being taken to execution. His guards were greatly exercised over the fact that they could not possibly get there on time. 'Never mind,' said the poor fellow, philosophically. 'Don't fuss over it. The people can walk. There'll be nothing doing till I get there.'"—Christian Herald. The Weeds Return "Confound these election bets, anyway!" grumbled Harker. "Lose heavily?" inquired his friend. "No, I won ten boxes of cigars and they were so rank I sold the whole lot to the corner tobaccoist for a dollar." "Well, you made a dollar, anyway." "Yes, but that is not the worst of it. My wife saw the boxes in the window marked 'A Bargain, $2,' and bought the whole lot to give me as a birthday present." Woman-Like. "I hate him! I think he is the meaest man I ever met." "Gracial, Jeanette! What is, the trouble?" "Why, he told me he loved me devotedly and I told him it would be impossible for me to love him in return. The poor fellow looked so downhearted I told him to try and forget me." Deposits in English Savings Banks.

MICA ATCHISON'S ORDER OF SPINS Unmarried, and Contented Withal, They Have Mapped Out for There was called a meeting of the Ancient Order of Spins last evening, and papers were read on every subject, from removing grease from carpets to the sad memories that attach to a bunch of old letters. The Spins were having a hilarious time when a visiting Spin got up to make a few remarks. She said that, while they are happy now, there was a sad time coming. "Think of the day," she said, "when, having no husbands or children, you will be all alone." There was a sniff and then a snort as Spin after Spin recalled wives and mothers who are alone from daylight till dark, except when some member of the family wants waiting on. The sniffing and snorting increased in volume as Spin after Spin told of her freedom from worry, her independence in financial matters and the joy of doing as she pleased. "But we must not take offense at what our sister has said," one Spin remarked. "Let us show our good intentions by calling on every lonesome wife and mother we know." This was six weeks ago, and though the Spins have devoted every afternoon and evening since to this missionary work, they haven't made half the rounds yet.—Atchilson Globe. Good Advice, but- A traveler entered a railway carriage at a wayside station. The sole occupants of the compartment consisted of an old lady and her son, about twelve years old. Nothing of note occurred until the train steamed into the station at which tickets were collected. The woman, not having a ticket for the boy, requested him to "corrie doon." The traveler intervened and suggested putting him under the seat. "Man," said the excited woman, "it's as chair as death; but there's two under the salt a ready!"

I could not go to bed when he had bottle applied to that side. I had one of the best doctors in Kansas and he told my husband that I would have to be operated on as it was something like not sleep. It keeps growing egregiously, it was as large as a hen's egg. I could not go to bed without a hot water bottle applied to that side. I had one of the best doctors in Kansas and he told my husband that I would have to be operated on as it was something like a tumor caused by a rupture to you for advice and you told me not to get discouraged but to take Lydia the Vegetable Compound.

U., BALTIMORE, NO. 41-1910. Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon has been appointed pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church to succeed Rev. W. H. Gaines, who recently relinquished the pastorate under charges. The appointment was made by Bishop Henry M. Warren, of Denver, Col. Dr. Lyon was formerly stationed at the church, leaving there in May, 1903, to become American Minister to Liberia. He was succeeded recently by Dr. W. D. Crum, of Charlestown, S. C., and is now returning to this country. Dr. Lyon is one of the best-known ministers in the Methodist Episcopal Church; and his return to his old charge is regarded as being very gratifying to the people of this city, especially to his old friends of the church. Dr. Lyon is regarded as the most forceful representative the United States ever sent to Liberia, and while there he succeeded in getting this country interested in the welfare of Liberia. He was recently tended a farewell reception in Liberia, which was attended by the highest officials of that country. It is not probable that Dr. Lyon's daughters, Mand and Annabel, will return, as they have married prominent Liberians. PREACHERS MEETING A. M. E. Ministers Discuss Rotation of Bishops. The rotation of African Methodist bishops was discussed at the meeting of the A. M. E. Ministers Monday. The discussion was opened by Rev. Joseph Gwynn, who declared that rotation would mean that the bishops would work more harmoniously for the general interests of the church and that there would be more uniformity of effort and purpose in managing the affairs of the vrious conferences in the Episcopal districts.

After the contest he showed his interest by visiting the various booths and making purchases. The decorations included pictures of Colonel Roosevelt draped with the American flag, and from which was suspended nursing bottles.

Rev. David Johnson, pastor of Wayman Memorial A. M.E. Church, has advanced a new but timely method to attract the young men of Southwest Baltimore to his church. After several unsuccessful attempts to have them come and bear the gospel, he arranged with John F. Bryan, a saloonkeeper, of 1402 Carroll street, to hold a one-hour service for men in his saloon on Saturday night. A large number of young men frequent this saloon and Rev. Johnson sought this opportunity to address them. He chose for his subject "The Element of True Manhood and its Uncompromising Responsibilities." The place was crowded and the customers listened with marked attention. The young men were evidently impressed and showed their appreciation for this demonstration of interest toward them. They organized and requested the privilege of having the front of Wayman Church painted and penciled absolutely at their own expense. A painter has been employed and the work is going on, and when finished a receipted bill will be turned over to the pastor and trustees for the work. SOCIALISM OUR ONLY HOPE SOCIALISM OWNLY HOPE Mr. Jacob M. Levy, who delivered a strong speech Monday against the West race segregation ordinance, says Socialism is the only hope for the solution of the race question. "The Socialist party," said Mr. Levy to a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, "stands for the equality of all men of all races and all creeds. It would not grant any more to the rich than to the poor. The solution of the race question can only come through an application of the principles of socialism. It is the only philosophy based on the laws of evolution and a thorough understanding of history. A FIVE Q'CLOCK TEA A five o'clock tea was given by Miss Mayme B.
