This jwas an incresse. of ‘about 650,000) “cords-over the consumption of 1909; but of only about 39,000 over’ 1907. ° “ The.advancing cost. of pulpwood of “all species is clearly. brought out. iv) the, report. The: total: consumption in 1909;. though exceeding that. olj 1907 by less. than 40,000 cords, cost over $2,000,000 more. The cost. for, 1909exceeded that for 1908 to the extent, of over: $6,000,000. et Probably. the most’ noteworthy de~ tail in| connection with the’ report ts the decrease in the consumption. of} spruge in the manufacture of pulp. While that timber temalns by far the most. popular’ ‘pulpmaking wood, there“has been’ a gradual. falling: off. the: percentage of.that material being 60.5 in 1909, 64.5 in 1908 and 68.1; in'1907.". The. diminution: of spruce is attributed to-the Increase In price, ‘which’ amounted to more: than $1 al cord from:1997 to 1909. "A. slight ‘decrease in hemlock. is also-noted, whereas corresponding In- creases have occurred. ini. the con sumption of woods’ heretofore little used as: pulp’ material, such as palsam, white fir-and several bard- ‘woods, including birch, beech, maple, gum and basswood. : “"tPhere algo +has, been an improved! ‘demand for white-fr, which has-been, found to be a very: excellent--pulp- wood: As much of this variety. of timber is, found:In the national for- ests, the prediction.is' made.that the alscavery will prove of material bene- fit to the forestry service, Of the 2,421,000 cords of spruce. consumed: fn. -1909,--almost “770,000 was’ im- ported: We are going to give each boy or girlin the city a subscri- ber for each new. subscriber they get between now and Christ- mas.

ABLE VOCALIST AND COMPOSER Former Instructor of Music at Wilberforce University, Who Studied Under Noted German Professor, Has Had a Widening Career as Tutor and Vocal Soloist—President Dudley's Tribute. The leading character in the oratorio entitled the "Holy City," by Gaul, recently given in the Methodist Episcopal church at Greensboro, N. C., was Professor Charles E., Stewart, head of the music department of the Agricultural and Mechanical College For Afro-Americans. Hundreds of white music lovers unreservedly enced Professor Stewart. His solo work, which 1910 gave him an opportunity to reveal his native ability as a basso singer, was inspiring. African Americans, admirers of high class music, from cities and towns contiguous to Greensboro attended the oratorio, which was the musical treat of the season among our people in Greensboro and vicinity. Since going to the Greensboro section of North Carolina Professor Stewart has caused a greater appreciation of classical music on the part of the race than ever before. He is a potent force in the intellectual life of the community. He is a native of Detroit, Mich., but received most of his musical and literary training in Illinois. Upon finding that nature had endowed him to the extent that man was to be inspired by his voice he entered the Illinois Conservatory of Music, in which institution he received every encouragement. Professor Stewart afterward entered the Conservatory of Music in Chicago, from which he graduated with special honors. Sir Dr. Wooten of Leipzig, Germany, while in the United States became interested in Professor Stewart, and for a number of months the professor took lessons from this noted musician in piano, theory and vocal culture, the same subjects he had at his alum mater. Having a deep interest in Scriptural research work, Professor Stewart took a special theological training in Payne seminary and at Wilberforce university. After being a private teacher of music in Illinois for some time, he accepted a position as professor of music in Wilberforce university. He taught at Wilberforce for four years and succeeded in bringing the music department of the university up to a high standard. President Dudley of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, of which Professor Stewart is the head of the music department; says he is a man of unusual ability and this fact is being demonstrated in his work. Several piano and vocal compositions have been written by this young musician which have been favorably received by music lovers in various sections of the country. As a musical director he has had a widening success. But his strong fort is that of a concert pianist and director. As a bassolist he has few equals and his superior is yet to be found. Boydton Institute Closed For Repairs. The recent announcement that Boydton institute, Boydton, Va., will not reopen for the reception of students this fall has caused much disappointment and sincere regret on the part of the students and friends of the institution. For upward of thirty years the school has been the educational center for the Afro-American population of south side Virginia. The buildings will undergo much needed repairs, and the school will be opened in the fall of 1911 as a religious training institution. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT. International Convention of Young Men's Christian Association. The forthcoming international convention of the Young Men's Christian association will be held in Toronto for three days, beginning on Friday, Oct. 25. Delegates from all parts of the United States, England and other foreign countries are expected to be in attendance. Among the subjects for discussion are: "A. Decade of Progress In Work Among Young Men and Boys at Home and Abroad." "The Timeliness of the Association to Meet the Needs of Canada." "Character the Easis of Efficiency In the Industrial World." "The Conservation of Rural Manhood" "The Unifying Power of Christ and His Service." "The Association's Message to Young Men." There are ninety-three branches of the Young Men's Christian association in the United States among Afro-Americans. Their interest will no doubt be looked after by such men as International Secretary Alpheus W. Hunton, J. E. Moorland and secretaries of the different branches. MANY SIDED LIFE OF "HUSTLING" T. R. MORGAN. Interesting Career of Versatile Writer, Business Man and Organizer. By M155 M. G. WILLIAMS. Thomas R. Morgan was born in Bristol, Pa., being the son of a Methodist preacher. He was "raised all over the country". He was taken off the farm and placed in the printing office of the Philadelphia Sentuel, now the Tribune. While in Philadelphia he was associated with J. W. Harris in the organization of the Small Loan and Investment company, which is known today as the Conservative Investment company of Philadelphia. In 1890 he organized what was then known as the Small Loan and Investment company of St. Paul, Minn., which has lately been reorganized into the Gateway Investment company. He is still a member of the board of directors, having acted a number of years as its secretary-treasurer. Perhaps Mr. Morgan has entered more avenues of business than any other man in the northwest. He is now secretary and general agent of the Cosmopolitan Mutual Casualty company, an enterprising Negro insurance company, which he was instrumental in helping to promote in 1005. For more than a year he has been managing editor of the Guide, a very news little sheet, and through its columns has been able to do good work in the interest of railroad waiters, porters and cooks. On account of his M. B. ability to do many things well he is familiarly known as "hustling" Tom Morgan. This versatile young man can also be classed as a writer, printer, real estate man, notary public, publicity specialist and a cornet solist of ability. He is now secretary of the local Negro Business league of St. Paul. In church circles Mr. Morgan has been very popular and has acted in the capacity of secretary of the board of trustees of St. James' A. M. E. church for a number of years. Cause of Republican Defeat In Maine. It is now alleged that Afro-Americans voted almost solidly with the Democrats at the recent elections in Maine, which accounts for the overwhelming defeat of the Republicans. Independence in politics is becoming more general year by year. At nearly every important election drastic changes occur. Experienced politicians no longer base their hopes for success on strictly party lines. Oyster Packing as a Business. In the thriving town of Cambridge, Md., are many thrifty Afro-Americans who are engaged in business for themselves. Conspicuous among the number is P. H. Slocum, who does a large oyster packing business. Mr. Slocum operates six boats and employs more than a score of men. High Tribute to Dr. B. T. Washington. When the king and queen of Denmark recently entertained at dinner as their special guest Dr. Booker T. Washington they paid a high tribute not only to Dr. Washington and the Negro race, but to the highest type of American manhood. COMMERCIAL Weekly Review of Trade and Market Reports. "Trade is irregular and still lacks snap, but the better understone noted last week has become more widely disseminated. This despite holidays which have tended to limit the aggregate volume of business done. Causes for the improved feeling have been the official confirmation by the Government crop reporting service of the trade estimates of bumper yields of corn and oats and larger than expected yields of wheat, the liberal marketing of crops, more especially cereals, live stock and cotton, the advent of cooler, settled weather in some sections and the rather better tone of the securities markets. Improvement, as a whole, is not marked and the conservatism earlier noted is still manifest in small and frequent rather than large buying. "Business feailures in the United States for the week were 223, against 192 last week. "Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week aggregate 2,102,873 bushels, against 2,392,630 bushels last week and 4,865,819 bushels this week last year. Corn exports for the week are 642,262 bushels, against 435,321 bushels last week and 271,771 bushels in 1909."

Untold millions in gold, iron, and copper mines await the fortunate man or man 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 use these needles, but in the past they have been difficult to obtain.

Some men as high up as Bishops have argued that for the wearing by clergyman of the simple business suit, such as our business men wear. Others have held that the minister is a man of distinct calling and office, should wear the conventional clerical suit as an insignia to his calling. Some men have argued, that the preacher with the frock coat on finds it more difficult to get to the men on the street, in shops, factories and other places where men congregate. It is claimed that men shy from the frock coated preacher. That if he is in a business suit he can gain admission to groups of men, get a grip on them before they know that he is a preacher. That in this business suit he finds easy admission to the common life of the people. All of this may be true, but does it help the minister or the cause? In our judgment it does not. In the first place it leaves the people open to do and say things in the presence of the preacher, which would not have done and said if they had known that the man in business clothing was a preacher. In the second place it puts the preacher on temptable ground when he realizes the people do not know that he is a preacher. Now if by wearing the conventional clergyman's suit, the preacher gains in respect, it will pay him to put it on. If he is so dressed that the people will know that he is a clergyman he will seek to maintain the dignity of his high calling, and should it be true that he will meet fewer men it will also be trust, that those whom he meets will be met to better purpose than the crowd with which he might josle along for weeks incoagitio. Now jugging from a good many things happening in the ranks of the clergy we ask are not some of these things happening to the men disguised in business suits? If it be true that the business suit which enables the clergyun to travel incognito in sections of our cities where his face is not known, then we earnestly plead that our clergymen doff or take off the business suit and con or put on the clerical coat that all men may know that he is a clergyman. The business of the clergyman is the most important of any man on earth, and there is no good reason for him hiding himself behind the non-clerical garb. Soldiers, sailors and many orders of the priesthood and sisters of charity all have their designating regalia. Unless the Protestant clergymen are are ashamed of their calling, they ought so to dress that all men will know they are preachers of The Word, and then let them bear themselves with dignity and uprightness that they may regain if possible the old time respect in which the people used to hold them which has in large measure been lost by the scandalous actions of clergymen who ran to their moral death, because they thought no body knew them in their business suit. We hold our clergy in high esteem and we never want to hold any other opinion of them, but we must conloss their good name has receive many hard jolts lately in many sections of our country. GETTING UNDER. We have always declared that true merit would find its rightful place although it may be very tardy in coming. The Negro in this land of the free (?) and the home of the brave, has been, and will be for some time to come, on the gauntlet, meeting the deterrent of public opinion, and the cross fire of American prejudice and hatred, but these bulwarks of opposition are giving way as is indicated by the press comment upon the worthily bestowed honors received by Booker T. Washington in European capitals, where he has dined with kings and queens and the great men of state. The great dailies of the country taking notice of the triumphal tour of Washington, the Negro educator, have stepped aside from the mere chronicing of the fact, to declare in their editorial columns, that when the European Monarchs honor Washington, they not only honor the Negro, but they honor the whole American people. This is exceedingly gracious on the part of the American white man, who evidently is passing his chrysilis stage, and has begun to see enough of the world and other races, to realize he is not the only fellow on the earth. Yet even now, it is remarkable indeed that the American white man consents to be honored or accept honors, under the shadow of an American Negro, but so it seems and let us all rejoice that it is so. We are sure the honors received by our Booker T. Washington are big enough to go around among us, and take in our brother in white also. It will be remembered that a few years ago, a great Englishman came to our shores and after spending several weeks among us overlooking the great cities and school centres of the land and meeting the many important men in our public life, returned home and in answer to question about the noted men of American, said: "I met three great men in America, President Roosevelt, Principal Booker T. Washington and President Elliott, of Howard University. It will not hurt the white men of American to claim honors given our Washington, as national rather than racial and we have no objection to the press of the country declaring that Washington is as much a national as a racial figure. Now while white men are willing to get under the shadow of our noble and great, we only ask a man's chance in this great republic add we promise to do our part as a race, to bring glory and renown to this our native land. KNOCKS THE UNREGISTERED. "Any colored man who neglected to register this year is unworthy father, a disloyal husband and is not worthy of our consideration," declared Rev. J. Harvey Anderson at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday night. "With disfranchisement and every other kind of proscription," continued the ministers. "staring us in the face any man who does not prepare to vote in order to protect his family and his race is not worthy of decent company." A chorus of "amens" greeted Dr. Anderson's remarks. The Baltimore and Eastern Shore Quarterly Meeting held their 4th Quarterly Conference at Nazarene Free Baptist Church, Whatcoat St near Presstman, October, 16 and 17, which were received at the yearly Association which was held at Lewray, Va., September 16, 17 and 18th, when they were received and adopted. Rev. Wm. P. Fisher; the secretary of the association, of Winchester, Va., was with us at our conference and was made the Moderator of the meeting. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 14. On Saturday, the 8th of the present month, we left Cincinnati to spend the next day in Dayton, Ohio. We remained here until Monday morning following, and the trip proved most delightful, and full of enjoyment. We celebrated the Holy Communion and officiated at both services in St. Margaret's Church. This is a most interesting and steadily advancing colored congregation of Episcopalians. The charge at present is without the services of a regular clergyman, and it is a splendid opportunity for some young clergyman of color. The Church is most elegantly situated, and is becoming quite a power for good in that community. Dayton is a city of about one hundred and forty thousand inhabitants, about ten thousand being colored. Beyond doubt it is the cleanest city we have ever visited. The colored Y. M. C. A. building and equipment would do credit to any city of similar size. They have also a most useful Woman's Christian Association located in its own attractive building. Both the professional and business men of the race in this city are enterprising and progressive. The dear lady at whose home we were entertained on Sunday afternoon, treated us to a delightful automobile ride of two or three hours, which enabled us to get a pretty good view of the city. It was interesting to view the great establishment of the National Cash Register Co., which is located in this city, and it was a treat, indeed, to speed our way through the beautiful grounds of the National Soldiers' Home, also located here. Returning to Cincinnati we spent almost all of our time in daily attendance upon the sessions of the General Convention. It was a great pleasure as well as privilege to visit the Colored High School, of Covington, Kentucky, which is just across the river from Cincinnati. Here our much esteemed friend, Mrs. Georgine B. Harris, of Baltimore, is engaged as vice principal of this institution. It will hardly surprise any one whose knows of the scholastic ability and efficiency of Mrs. Harris when we say that she is greatly beloved by all, and is a mighty influence for good in that community. There is a great deal we could say of interest, but our time will not permit. Our chief mission in Cincinnati is on behalf of furthering legislation whereby it may be possible to have Missionary Districts with Negro Bishops in the Episcopal Church. The other evening when our delegation appeared before the Committee on Constitutional Amendments of the General Convention, of which committee, Mr. Pierpont Morgan is a member, as we entered the room, Mr. Morgan beckoned to us to occupy a vacant chair immediately adjoining the one occupied by him. Thus, it was the closest approach we had ever enjoyed in being right up against the great financier. He was extremely cordial, indeed. But so are all the members of this great gathering. Whether success will crown our efforts at this writing, we are unable to say. The adoption of the general plan of Suffragan Bishops for the Church does not touch our proposition at all. Possibly a little explanation, for those who are unacquainted with the affairs of the Episcopal Church, may throw a little light upon the subject. In the Episcopal Church there are those who would have every congregation of colored Episcopalians attached to some white parish, as a chapel. This would mean that the white clergy of the parish church would serve the colored people at the chapel. In such a case, we would not have colored priests, nor colored men as delegates to any conventions, hence there would be no "color problem." This plan would not require colored Bishops of any kind. There is another section who believe that there must be colored congregations with their own colored ministers, but who hesitate about giving colored people quality of treatment in the regular diocesan conventions. They are disposed to "segregate" the Negroes in the respective dioceses, under the authority of the diocesan convention, and permit them to have a "Suffragan Bishop," a regular deputy of the regular diocesan. Over against all this, the Conference of Church Workers Among Colored People, request Missionary Districts with Negro Missionary Bishops. Our present mission is simply to have the General Convention adopt the necessary legislation as will make it lawful, upon the initiation of two or more diocesan Bishops, for the House of Bishops to establish Missionary Districts, full-fledged Negro Missionary Bishops. The clergy and congregations who might be connected with such districts, locally, would have nothing to do with the other diocesan conventions but would have a convention of their own, which convention would be represented in the National body. At last, we are again back in Bal- At last, we are again back in Baltimore, and we are glad. A CHANCE TO Anti-Saloon League Will Distribute One Thousand Dollars In Prizes For Best Essays.

An echo of the sensational episode by which Rev. W. H. Gaines was forced to give up the pastorate of John Wesley M. E. Church and Mrs. Phoebe Caulk was separated from her husband, came in Circuit Court, No. 2, Wednesday when Oliver J. Caulk was granted an absolute divorce from Mrs. Caulk on the ground of allied adultery. Corneilous C. Fitzgerald was the plaintiff's attorney. On September 15th, it is alleged, that Mr. Caulk and a private detective found the minister and Mrs. Caulk together in a house on La-trobe street. It is said that a scarcetook plack in which the minister and Mr. and Mrs. Caulk were the principals. The whole city was shocked at the news and the forced resignation of Rev. Gaines followed. Rev. Gaines and his family have since left the city. Mrs. Caulk has been married before. Her first husband was Thos. Revels, who secured a divorce from her, it is said, on statutory grounds. The divorced woman was formerly a leading singer on church choirs and in concerts. A rumor was circulated this week that some of the members of Mrs. Caulk's family was going to institute criminal proceedings against Rev. Gaines, but it could not be verified.

One Of The Largest Gathering Of The Order In Session At Moses Hall-Solomon Bond, The Grand Master, Presiding. The forty-third annual session of the Right Worthy Grand Encampment of the Grand United Order of Brothers and Sisters, Sons and Daughters of Moses opened Tuesday in the hall in the rear of the Methodist Episcopal Church, [with over 400 delegates, representing a number of States in attendance.

The Delaware Antl-Tu berculosis society in 1907 for the frst time in America made use of @ stamp for the purpose of getting ‘revenue to fight consumption. In a: hastily or ganized campaign of only three weeks they realized $3,000. The next year, 1908. the American Red Crcas com ducted the first national tuberculosis stamp-cumpaign. From this gale $138, 000 was realized for the-anti-tubercu- Josis movement. In 1909, tinder many adverse conditions, $250,000 was: rea- ized from these stamps. This year the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters and the: Red Cross is “A Million for ‘Turberculosis From Red Cress Seals in 1910."

But Giles remained silently uo responsive. “Come,” said the hostess, “don't be bashful, Mr. Giles"—he was just Giles ‘on. ordinary occasions—“you've & right to the place of honor, you know.” Giles deliberated 2 moment, then spoke. “Thank you kindly, Mrs. Hodge.” he. said, “but if t’s.all the same to you, I'd rather sit opposite this pud: den!” More to Bo Pitied. ‘Tramp (to lonely spiuster)—Come Missus, arst yer ‘usbaud if 'e’ain't got ‘a pair o' trousers to give away.

Much interest had been manifested in this affair, because of Mr. Martin's well-known ability as a violinist, and the youthfulness of his son, and those who came expecting a a rare treat were fully repaid. Mr. Martin's handling of the bow was masterful and graceful and his renditions were well received. As for Master Martin, his playing was simply wonderful for one of his years and he was recalled so many times that he just had to give up. Among the local talent who ably assisted the Martins were Miss. Annie Hazleton Lee, and Miss Delia Butler. Mr. W. Scott Mayo, bari-tone, of Washington, also rendered several pleasing selections. The recital was given under the management of Mr. P. D. Blackwell and was for the benefit of the church. REV. SHAW RETURNS Rev. and Mrs. Daniel W.

"We must make a mauly protest against enactment of the West segregation or ordinance, as it is a forerunner of other hostile legislation against the progressive men of the race." The foregoing was an utterance made by Rev. Garnett R. Waller at the monthly meeting at Grace Presbyterian Church of the Ministerial Alliance last Monday. He concluded by arguing that the Alliance be represented at the hearing before the City Council committee next Monday of those hostile to the ordinance. Rev. A. L. Gaines, of Trinity A. M. E. Church, also spoke in a similar strain, after which the Alliance appointed Revs. W. A. C. Hughes, W. E. Williams and A. L. Gaines to represent it at the hearing. Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander read a paper on "City Evangelization." After a general discussion of the paper, the ministers discussed plan for the proposed city-wide evangelistic campaign. Mrs. M. E.
