THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER. VOL. XIX. NO. 9. NOW READY TO TRAIN COLORED WOMEN AND GIRLS OPENING OF THE NATIONAL TRAINING AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN Large Gathering of Appreciative And Interested Friends of the School—A Number of Addresses By Prominent Members of The Race—School Has Grown So In The Short Time Since Organization that New Buildings Will Be Needed Shortly. Bureau of the AFRO-AMERICAN LEADER. 1918 11th Street N. W. Washington, October 28—The opening of the National Training School for Women and Girls, founded by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, at Lincoln Heights, northeast of the city; was held Tuesday in the chapel of the school at 9 o'clock P. M. A large and appreciative gathering of friends were present, not only from Washington, but from Maryland, Illinois Ohio, Keutucky, Virginia and Connecticut. Short addresses were delivered by Rev. J. Franklin Walker, of Cincinnati; Rev. J. Frank Williams, of Baltimore; Dr. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. E. B. Gordon, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. Aquila Sayles, Mrs. Anna Evans Murray, Mrs. Julia Mason Laxton, Mrs. E. E. Whitfield and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the school. This school, which was organized only a year ago, is perhaps, the most unique enterprise ever launched by Negroes in an effort to help themselves. It is owned and operated by the Women's Convention, an auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, and has thus far, in the main, been supported by the women of the Baptist denomination. These women started this school with the determination of first uniting to help themselves, and they have certainly shown what can be accomplished by those who desire to do something toward their own uplift. They deserve the hearty support of those who want to help the race train the women who must make the home life of their people. The institution is doing itself to the moral, religious, intellectual and moral development of our women and girls, and while the students have an opportunity of receiving a thorough literary training, they are at the same time thoroughly trained in the industrial arts. Although the school is only in its second year, the enrollment is vividly large, and represents twenty-one States, Africa, Canada and the West Indies. Until the facilities of the Institution can be incased, Miss Burro ghs finds it impossible to accommodate all who are seeking admission. In view of this fact, the trustees are now preparing to give their attention to the securing of funds for the erection of a $50,000 building. With this building, properly equipped, they will be in a position to supply the needs of hundreds of colored women and girls, who are not only desires of setting up a taal and moral training that this school will provide, but also take advantage of the opportunity to fit themselves for service. A new dining hall has been erected but already the necessity for its enlargement has become manifest. A furnace is to be installed in the press main building, and many are contributing for this work so that it will be ready before the cold weather sets in. The school's always open for inspect on and the faculty is anxious the friends will avail themselves of the first opportunity to pay their Mussel Bill to the school, has that families need help on Sundays can secure girls from this school who are host and will to work to help themselves to get a substantial start in life. MANNEN PURPOSES ELKS ARE STILL AT LOGGERHEADS Dr. James E. Mills Former Grand Exalted Ruler Enters Suit Against Present Head. (Special to the Afro-American.) Richmond, Va., October 28—The supposed harmony that has existed among the factions of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, since the joint meeting of the two Grand Lodges in Washington last July, has been shattered by the filing of a suit in the United States Circuit Court here by Dr. James E. Mills, of Norfolk, claiming $15,000 damages from Grand Exalted ruler J. Frank Wheaton, of New York, for alleged unlawful use of the ritual of the order. Dr. Mills, of Coromie, grants exalted ruler of one faction and bolted a joint session of the two grand lodges just before the election of officers or the reunited grand lodge. He was followed by a number of those who sympathized with him at that time. In the papers filed it is stated that B. F. Howard, of Cincinnati, organized a grand lodge in 1898, with himself as grand exalted ruler for the time beginning until August, 1909, continuously. In that month the Grand Lodge met in Detroit and Dr. James E. Mills was elected to succeed Howard, who then agreed to be Grand Lodge, the ritual of the order, with all rights, titles and interest Howard could have by virtue of his copyright, for the sum of $5,000, the copyright having been issued to him June 12, 1902 Against Wheaton, by his agents, servants and followers, it is charged that he had the ritual reprinted and vended, which, it is alleged, constituted an infringement on the copyright. It is further charged that Wheaton, by his agents, servants and followers, has grossly misled the public, and is still doing so, and that the Grand Lodge has been rendered wholly unable to keep its contract with 10,400 to whom the $3,000 might have been paid bad; it not been for the alleged interference. The complaintable prays for $15,000 damages, and on failure to prove the alleged damage through concealment of fact by tue di dendant, the prays special damages for the benefit of his beneficiaries in the sum of $5,000. The complainant prays for a subpoena to be issued for Wheaton and John T. Taylor of 728 North Second Street, and asks further that the defendant's agents, servants and followers be preliminary enjoined and restrained from the fuher use of the alleged pirated ritual. Washington, D. C., October 22—The Board of Education has dismissed the charges again to Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conklin Bruce, as "trivial and unsustained." This will practically end the 'tempest in a tepot' that has been waged at the expens-of our schools by a number of chronic kickers. Plans are being perfected whereby teachers be assigned to buildings near their own homes. A mass meeting to endorse the efficient administration of Assistant Superintendent Bruce. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1910. W. H. LEWIS WILL GET A BIG JOB AT CAPITOL PRESIDENT TAFT WILL AP- POINT HIM ASSISTANT. ATTORNEY GENERAL IT IS RUMORED. The Appointment Will Be The Highest Ever Given Colored Man By the Government—Mr. Lewis Is Now United States District Attorney For Massachusetts—Taft May Also Appoint Charles A. Cottrell Collector of Customs At Honolulu. (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, October 27—William H. Lewis, second assistant United States District Attorney for Massachusetts, will, according to current gossip, be appointed Assistant Attorney General of the United States. This appointment will be the highest ever given a colored man by the general government, and is said to be a forerunner of a number of appointments that will be given colored men in Northern and Western States. Since President Taft has begun, to displace colored office-holders in the South to satisfy the whites of that section of the country, he has been a target of considerable criticism by colored men throughout the country, and this hostility has been refuted by the race press the country over. Several weeks ago, Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, James A. Cobb, assistant attorney, for the District of Columbia, and Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Wall street district, New York, had a long conference with the President and immediately following the story was given out that the President was going to recognize the race in a way not dreame! of. Should Mr. Lewis' be displaced it is not known whither or not a colored man will get his place, or whether Mr. Taft will follow his usual policy of giving a white man a position held by a colored man when another colman in the same State has been given an important appointment else where. As Assistant Attorney, General of the United States, Mr. Lewis may be asigned to some of the most important legal work of the government, will be thrown in frequent contact with senators, congressmen and others having important business with the Department of Justice. It is also said that Charl S. A. Cottrell, a prominent colored residuat of Toledo, O., may be made Collector of Customs at Honolulu. He is a former member of the Ohio Legislature, only been few instances where colored men have held appointments in the Department of Justice, which require legal ability. Mr. John S. Durham, now a planner in Cuba, was an attorney for the Spanish Claims Commission; Ferdinand L. Barnett is now an assistant United States District Attorney at Chicago and James A. Cabb has charge of bail cases in the local courts. Mr. Lewis was born in Portsmouth Va. 44 years ago. After receiving his preliminary training at the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, he entered Amberst College, where he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1883. As centre rush on the Amberst football team he leaped into fame. He wept, to the Harvard Law School f from which he was graduated in 1898. Wojte at Harvard he played on the football team, and until a few years ago he assiste in coaching the team each season. He settled down to the practicse of his professe in Cambridge, Miss, and served one term in the Massachusetts leilature. In 1903 ater s me white Southernner had declared that President Roosevelt would not dare a point a colored man in the North, he met their bass by appointing Mr. Lewis to his present position. REV. W. L. TAYLOR Former President of the Reformers' Bank, which closed its doors this week. TRUE REFORMERS' BANK IS CLOSED Following The Abdication Of W. L. Taylor The Bank Causes A Great Sensation. (Special to Afro-American Ledger.) Richmond, Va. Oct. 7. The sensation of the week was the closing of the doors of the True Iteformers' Savings Bank and the appointment of W. A. Moncure as a receiver for the same, following a report to the State Corporation Commission that the bank was hopelessly insolvent. Moncure bonded for $50,000. The receivership follows closely upon the forced abdication of Rev. W. L. Taylor as head of the insurance department of the order. The State Insurance department sometime ago investigated the insurance end of the order and found a lamentable lack of approved business methods, it is said. The bank and the insurance department were found to have too close a connection too. The bank was organized by the late W. W. Browne about 20 years ago, and was the depository for the funds of the order. During the panic of 1903, when the other banks were paying their obligations with script, the True Reformrs' Bank won a good deal of praise by lending the city $60,000, with which to pay the city teachers. Hold Memorial Services at Howard University. (Special to Afro-American.) Washington, D. C., October—Howard University held memorial services in honor of the late Julia. President Thirkidjie, who had on one occasion spoken from the same p a t form with the renowned auth o r of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at Old South Church in Boston, paid an eloquent tribute to Mrs Howe. To the accompaniment of the University orchestra, the students gathered in the chapel, sang "The Bate Hymn of the Republic" at the conclusion of the services. Republican Candidate For Governor of Pennsylvania Seems To Be In Bad With Colored Elks of That State. Special to the AFBO-AMERICAN LEAGER Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 27 - John K. Tener, the Republican ca-didase for governor, seems to be in bad repute with the colored voes of the State, and is being denounced by colored voters all over the State. Candidate Tener was sometimes ago grand exalted ruler of the white Eres and as such took part in the campaign against the colored Elks. G. Grant Williams, city editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, a tribune of the Oe County V. Guto Lodge of Elks had issued a ringing appeal against Mr. Tener's canada. The appeal is entitled, "To Colored Voters of the State of Pennsylvania." BEWAILS THE LOSS OF SO MANY GOOD FRIENDS ALL OF THEM HAVE DONE GOOD WORK AND HAVE NOW GONE TO WELL DESERVED REWARD Were Useful Men In Their Day And Generation — John W. Strauther Was Well Known And Loved By All—Mississippi Pythians Will Miss Him.—The Same Is True Of The Masonic Fraternity—Is Glad He Lives In An Age Of Progress And Flying Machines. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Englaud, Ark.—After being absent for two weeks, I come to this week to impart to you a sad message. No doubt you have already read it through the columns of the Afro-American Ledger, yet because he was such a good friend of mine, and because of his high standing I feel it my duty to inform you of the death of John W. Strauther of Greenville, Miss. I am sure that you will read this with a degree of sadness, because he was one of the most useful men in the State of Mississippi. He was just in the prime of his usefulness, when the death angel called him. I am not able to inform you as to the direct cause of his death. You will remember Mr. Strauthere, because he was grand master of exchequer and his Miskinian he has held for many years, and so efficiently has he performed his work until the last Grand Lodge raised his salary. I have referred to the Mississippi Pythians, but his influence did not stop there, because he was the vice Supreme Chancellor of the Pythians of the whole world. He was at the Supreme Court of Calanthe. His presiding at the last session brought to him many friends and admirers, and he had started out on a great career when he was called to meet his God. It is strange that so many useful men are called just now. I could just write a whole paper about John W. Straather. He was an undertaker, a banker, and identified with everything that was for the uplift of his people. His friends were countless and practically, he was the Grand Lodge of Mississippi. In the Masonic fraternity he had a high place. I recall with pleasure his reception to me at the first time I visited Mississippi, and especially Greenville. Then too, Dr. H. T. Johnson, Rev. L. H. Reynolds, Rev. B. W. Farrish, of Boston, Rev. J. H. Nichols, of Chaupaign, lll, and many others have left us. Who will be the next to follow? This question I cannot answer. I am writing to you this week, but this may be the last time I will be permitted to leave. I will not tell what will be in the next world. As we near the grave, let us make the years sweeter and better, and then, let us not leave without the world knowing that we have been here. I have talked to some of the people who attended the funeral of John W. Straather, and they say his death was a mystery. He went home at night, had his supper, and was about his duties, and some one called up from Vicksburg to know what the trouble was with Straather. A telephone message came, to the preacher asking if Joan Straather was dead, and Doctor Wrenn, after getting so many messages called Straather up and talked with him. He replied that he was in good health and never felt better, but just thirty minutes after that he was more about it later. Man is making many inventions. He is now in competition with the eagle in his giddy flights. He is but a flying bird, going from city to city through space. While riding on the carriage a few days ago in company with W. W. Allen he told me to look out the window at a flying machine, and there I saw a man keeping ahead of our train going into St. Louis. What an age, and what a man. I can but thank God that I live in this ag! I do not feel like writing much this week, because my eyes are heavy with A. REV. T. H. SHORTS President of the Galilean_Fishermen's Bank, which failed this week tears. If you have a letter for me send it to Union City, Tenn., care Bishop H. B. Parks. I started this letter in England, Ark, but now I am in Tuscumbia, Ala, and the first thing that I heard when I reached here today, Monday morning, "Rev. C. M. Wells is dead." I am sure you remember him. For a number of years he was president of the Alabama State Sunday School Convention, and held that until his death. He was buried evening, and was buried Saturday of last week. He had one of the best Sunday school conventions in the country, and all because he gave it his personal attention. In addition to this he was the editor of the Baptist Leader which was the official organ of the baptists of the state. GALILEAN FISHERMEN'S BANK FAILS ALSO National Ruler Gordon On The Scene Looking After Interests Of The Endowment Branch. (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Newport News, Va., Oct. 27.—A petition asking that the Gallilean Fishermen's Bank, of Hampton, be placed in the hands of receivers, has been filed in the Circuit Court of Elizabeth county. The petition was presented on behalf of John A. Smith, a stockholder and depositor of the bank and avers that the bank has been mismanaged for a number of years, that it is insolvent and that it is, without means of meeting its obligations. It is alleged, in the petition, that the bank has liabil ties aggregating $24,010.96 and a ses aggregating $20,784.62. There was no opposition to the petition, and Judge Robinson immediately named Attorney A. W. Bassette, Jr., and B. A. Lewis receivers, fixing their bond at $25 000 each. There was no opposition to the receivership. The Galilean Bank is an institution, and was orgaized in 1901. Though not a large institution, the bank was regarded for sometime as being perfectly safe, and only recently has its failure to regalize upon its loans forced it gradually down into an insolvent condition. The failure is said to be the work of some of those who were opposed to Mr. C oumbus Gordon, who succeeded Rev T. H. Shorts as national grand ruler of the Order of Gailean Fishermen last August. Mr. Shorts was continued as president of the bank, and one of the receivers, Attorney Ba-sette, was elected cashier. National Grand Ruler Gordon, when seen by a representative of the Afro-American Ledger Thursday afternoon said he had received no official notification of the receivership. "Since my election as national grand ruler," said Mr. Gordon, "I have; with my as occupies, been trying to place the order, upon a high plane of efficiency, and some have noably a ded me in my efforts. We have been trying especially to make the endowment department all that it should be, and I regret very much to hear the report of the receivership." Grand Treasurer J. h. P. Bvans, Grand Attornave C. o. Fitzgerald and Mr. Gordon went to Hampton Friday to look after the endowment depart- Tidal Wave, Cyclone and Volcanic Eruptions. Cloudburst Accompanies Cyclone and Devastation Is Widespread—Orange and Lemon Groves Covered With, Mud and Ashes—Destitute Islanders Of Ischia Nearly Mob the Minister of Marine In Clamors For Food. Naples (Special)—The beautiful coasts of the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno and the islands of Ischia and Procida have been devastated by a peculiar combination of the elements. The exact number of victims has not been learned, but 100 or more perished. The monetary loss is great. The disaster appears to have come in the form of a cyclone having three centers, the first over the island of Ischia, the second over the town of Torre Del Greco on the east of the Bay of Naples, and the third sweeping the Gulf of Salerno. Accompanying a cyclone were a cloudburst, a tidal wave and violent eruptions from Mount Vesuvius and from a crater suddenly opened on the summit of the long-extinct Epomeon, on the island of Ischia. Ischia and the adjacent islands suffered most. No Americans are reported in the troubled zone, foreigners having recently given that section a wide berth because of the cholera epidemic. The towns chiefly damaged are Cassamicelle, Laccioniano, Positiano, Torre del Greco, Resina and Portici in the Province of Naples, and Amalfi, Vietri, Majori, Minori, Pontecagnano and Cetara, Province of Solerno. There are victims everywhere. Details which are slowly arriving show that each afflicted town and village has its own tale of horror. A dozen were killed here and a score there. Houses and churches were razed. The loss in crops is incalculable. The sea off the Salerno coast is covered with wreckage, consisting of ruined houses, furniture, timbers, trees and carcasses of animals. Some parents, seeing their children engulfed in the flowing mud, committed suicide. The mud in some of the valleys below Mount Pomeo is 20 feet deep. Throughout the night much confusion existed, as the failure of the electric and telegraph wires left the territory in darkness and without means of easy communication. Admiral leonard, minister of marine, is at Ischia, organizing the relief, for which $400,000 is already available. Causes Highest Percentage Of Deaths Among Those Employed. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Tuberculosis of the lungs, heart disease and accidental violence, in the census. bureau's death registration area of the United States, which represents more than 55 per cent. of the estimated total population, caused more than 37 per cent. of the deaths from all causes in 1909 among certain classes. These classes are those "gainfully employed or occupied males." The same causes led to 39 per cent. of the deaths from all causes among the "occupied females." The census bureau, in a bulletin on mortality statistics, says that of a total of 210,507 deaths among these gainfully employed males typhoid calmed 2.2 per cent, tuberculosis of the lungs, 14.8, cancer, 5.5; apoplexy and paralysis, 7.3, heart disease, 11.9; pneumonia, 8; Bright's disease, 8; suicide, 2.6, and accident, 10.5. Among the occupied women the percentage included tuberculosis, 21; typhoid, 2.8; cancer, 8.1; apoplexy and paralysis, 5.9; heart disease, 10.8; pneumonia, 7; Bright's disease, 7.3; suicide, 1.6; accident, 3.2. Wig Saves Her Life. Winsted, Conn. (Special)—Arline Klaus, of Chicago, who is visiting her sister, Mrs. Charles H. Barreuther, climbed an apple tree on Pratt Mountain to get some luscious fruit when suddenly the limb on which she was standing broke. Her hair became entangled in a limb as she dropped, and she came to the ground leaving her hair dangling to the tree. Others in the party thought she had been scaled. She wore a wig, which救 her life. Omaha, Neb. (Special)—According to dealers, bacon reached the highest point ever recorded. Retailers quoted it at 40 cents a pound, and said it would probably advance a couple of cents more within a week. Boys Starts $75,000 Flame. St. Louis, Mo. (Special)—Jerry Conroy, 7 years of age, and his brother, George, 3 1/2 years, found a discarded lard can near the St. Louis Dressed Beef Company's plant. They filled it with paper and lighted it. There was a sudden burst of flame. In fright George kicked the can, and it went through an open window of the packing plant. The damage was $75,000 before the flames were under Harvey Crippen, the American practitioner and medical agent, was found guilty of the murder of his wife, the American actress, Belle Elmore, and sentenced to be hanged November 15. The jury was out just thirty minutes. When it returned and announced that it had found the defendant guilty, Lord Chief Justice Alverstons asked the physician if he had anything to say. Crippen replied in a low voice: "I still protest my innocence." The Chief Justice then donned the black cap that had rested near him throughout the trial, and pronounced the sentence of death. Addressing the condemned man, Lord Alverstons said: "You have been convicted on evidence which can leave no doubt in the mind of any reasonable man that you cruelly murdered your wife and then mutilated her body. "I advise you to entertain no hope that you will escape the consequences of your crime. I implore you to make your peace with Almighty God." There is the strongest prejudice in England against executing a man on purely circumstantial evidence, and an incident at the close of Crippen's trial has caused the impression that the jury may have recommended a life sentence. After Crippen was sentenced to death the foreman of the jury handed to the Lord Chief Justice a note, after looking at which, the justice said: "That shall be forwarded to the proper quarter." The "proper quarter" might mean the Home Secretary, who has jurisdiction in such matters. The jurors refused to discuss the incident. Sage of Wolfert's Roost Passes Away Unexpectedly. Albany, N. Y. (Special,—After an illness of several weeks, David Bennett Hill, the famous Democratic leader, ex-governor of New York and United States Senator, died at his home, Wolfert's Roost, in the suburbs of Albany. He was 67 years old. Mr. Hill had been suffering for some time from a bilious attack, which was followed by a severe cold. It was thought that he would recover, but the combined attack seemed to sap all his strength. When the statesman began to sink his strength left him rapidly and, despite all the efforts of doctors at his bedside, he passed away. He was conscious almost to the end. HIS CHILDREN BURNED. Youngsters May Die. While Parents Suffer Painfully. Wheeling. W. Va. (Special)—Two persons were fatally burned and two others suffered severely in a fire which destroyed the home of Henry Selvay, superintendent of the Fairmont Coal and Coke Company. Nothing was saved and the family narrowly escaped. Two children, Ruth, aged six, and Henry, aged two, received fatal injuries, and the father had all his clothing burned off in rescuing the children. Mrs. Selvay was also burned. Attempt To Assassinate Commander Of the Cuban Army. Havana (Special).—Major General Guerra, commander of the Cuban Army, narrowly escaped death, when an assassin fired four sheets at him. The attack took place in front of the President's palace. One of the bullets struck Guerra, inflicting a serious, though not fatal, wound. Another hit a policeman who was on guard at the palace door. The assassin was captured. Orinoco Company Wins. The Hague (Special) — A decision rendered by the International Court of Arbitration in the Orinoco case awarded the Orinoco Steamship Company, an American corporation, $46,867 with 3 per cent. interest from June 16, 1903, and $7,000 costs. The judgment is to be paid by Venezuela within two months. The barge award of $28,700, made in 1904, was declared null and void on four points. The dispute arose over the abrogation of a contract between Venezuela and the company by President Castro. New Orleans (Special).—A cable from Rio Janeiro says: "The steamship Wally was wrecked near the lighthouse at Arrosales, off Para, and is a total loss. Some of the passengers were rescued, but it is believed more than 50; were drowned." The Pastest Cruiser. Berlin (Special).—With expressions of pride the afternoon papers published the official figures of the speed trials of the new armored cruiser Von der Tenn. Her average speed in six trials was 27.3 knots an hour over a six-knot course. At one time during the trial the vessel reached a speed of 28.12 knots. It is pointed out that the speed of the British cruiser Invincible is 26.65 knots an hour, and that therefore the Von der Tenn is the fastest cruiser in the world. The Balloon America H.

The balloonists started from St. Louis with nine other contestants in the international contest on Monday, October 17. All the other balloons have been reported. Here is Our PLAN We are going to give each boy or girl in the city a subscriber for each new subscriber they get between now and Christmas. That means if you get 25 new subscribers, we are going to hand you 25 subscribers from our mailing list. Furthermore, the boys and girls who increase their circulation by 20 or more are going to get their pictures in the paper so everybody can see just who our hustling youngsters are and what they look like. Here is a chance to build up a big money paying business. NOW HUSTLE Two messages from Hawley and Post were received in New York. One was to William Hawley, brother of the acronant; the other to Samuel F. Perkins, pilot of the balloon Dusseldorf 111, which until tonight had been considered the winner. The message to Mr. Hawley read: "Landed in wilderness week ago, 50 miles off Chicoutimi. Both well: "ALAN." The Perkins message ran: "Landed Paribonkna river, north Lake Chilogana, nineteenth. All well; returning. "HAWLEY, "POST." With receipt of the news there ended a search which had come to be regarded by many as almost hopeless, and in which the governments of this country and Canada were indirectly participating. For, in addition to emissaries sent by the Aero Club of St. Louis, the Aero Club of America and by William Hawley, the United States revenue cutter service was also enlisted. Why not give them a chance to make some extra change. Send them to our Main Office, 307 St. Paul Street, any Friday afternoon or Saturday and we will START THEM OUT WITH TEN PAPERS FREE. After they sell them they will have enough money to purchase their papers the next week. So you see any boy who can hustle, can start his own business WITHOUT ONE CENT CAPITAL. Atlanta, Ga.

His remedy consisted in driving a tack into the back portion of a blind colored man's skull and charged $2.50 for the operation. Robert. Ward, the victim, told the police court. Judge that the task process was not very mainful, but that Williams' manner of taking the $2.50 "hurt considerable." We want to see the Afro=American Ledger in every home in Baltimore City and the Boys and Girls are going to help us to do it. Start Now. Free Domicile For Jews. Washington, D. C.

Series of Services Formally Ushering In the New Pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ Attended by Many Distinguished Clergymen—Sermon by Rev. Dr. W. Johnson. By R. BARNETT DODSON. Soldom has it been the good fortune of a minister to be ushered into the pastorate of a great church under such favorable circumstances as those attending the call, acceptance and subsequent installation of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss as pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, in Brooklyn. 1930 Dr. Moss succeeds the late Dr. W. T. Dixon, who was the most beloved and widely known pastor of Concord for nearly forty-six years. Dr. Dixon took charge of the church on the third Sunday in October, 1863. At that time the membership was about 150, and the services were held in a one room frumе building on Concord street. At his death, June 3, 1909, the church numbered 1,000 and church property was valued at $45,000, with $8,000 indebredness. The church decided to clear itself of debt before calling a new pastor. Without resorting to any of the usual methods of raising funds for church debts the members pledged themselves by free will offerings, and by February, 1890, every dollar necessary to clear the debt was in hand. The next step the church took was the consideration of calling a pastor and the burning of the mortgage, which occurred on Monday evening, May 16. After considering the names of numerous ministers in various sections of the country a unanimous call was extended to the Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss, pastor of the influential Bank Street Baptist church, Norfolk, Va. After much communication with Dr. Moss and two visits by him to the church in Brooklyn he finally accepted the call with reluctance to leave a loving church and congregation and a most beautiful and comfortable home, newly built and fitted up with all modern improvements. William Maurice Moss, the new pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn, is a native of Spotsylvania county, Va. He was reared in the rural districts and received the rudiments of his early education in the public schools of the county. During his young manhood days he learned and mastered the blacksmith and shoemaker's trades. After his grammar school course he studied under the tutorship of Professor James [Name] Scott of the University of Virginia. He subsequently matriculated at the Richmond (Va.) institute, now Virginia Union university. Dr. Moss graduated from the college department in 1857 and from the theological department with the degree of bachelor of divinity in 1858. He won four prizes while in school. The first was for oratory, second for excellence in the theology, third for neatness and fourth for penmanship. In 1903 Virginia Union university conferred upon Dr. Moss the degree of doctor of divinity. Supply and Pastorial Charges. Supply and Pasture. During vacation time. Dr. Moss did supply work in his native county, in Louisiana county, and White Sulphur Springs and was supply pastor in Baltimore for some time. In each of these places he did a conscientious work and made many friends. Dr. Moss' first charge was at the First Baptist church, Lexington, Va. where he remained for four years. His labors at Lexington were attend- ed with large results, and he left the church clear of debt upon his acceptance of the call of the Loyal Street Baptist church at Danville, Va., where he pastored for nine years. At the Loyal Street Baptist church Dr. Moss did a constructive work. Besides enlarging the membership to 1,400, he cleared the church of debt and directed many new improvements to the church property. From the church at Danville Dr. Moss accepted the call of the Bank Street Baptist church, Norfolk, Va. Good Work Accomplished at Norfolk. When Dr. Moss took charge of the Bank street church at Norfolk he fully realized the largeness of the work and the great responsibilities which naturally come to a pastor in a large city with not only a growing population, [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. but a constant in and out flow of persons going to and coming from the north, east and west. He adjusted himself to these changing conditions and threw his full strength, experience and influence into the work of the church and the community. During his eight and a half years' pastorate of the Bank Street church he cleared a debt of twenty-one years' standing, doubled the membership, built a new parsonage at a cost of $5,000 and left the church with a bank account of $500. Begins Work In Northern Field. Dr. Moss began his ministry as pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, in Boca Raton, on Sunday, Sept. 4. The church has already taken on new life. With no debt upon the property and with a united, well trained, influential membership the pastor's future in his new field is truly bright and promising. He is also surrounded by a loving family, Mrs. Moss. lyn, on Sunday, Sept. 4. The church has already taken on new life. With no debt upon the property and with a united, well trained, Influential membership the pastor's future in his new field is truly bright and promising. He is also surrounded by a loving family, Miss Willie, little Virginia, William Maurice, Jr. and Master Hort. The installation of Dr. Moss occurred on Sunday, Oct. 16, and was marked by a week's special services, in which many visiting clergymen from in and out of town took part. Among them were the Rev. Willis Brown, president of the Tidewater Baptist Ministers' association of Virginia; Dr. W. J. Howard of Washington, Dr. W. A. Creditt of Philadelphia, Dr. G. L. P. Tallierfoe of Philadelphia, Rev. J. D. Harris of Petersburg, Va.; Drs. W. C. P. Rhodes, A. R. Cooper, H. Powell, W. L. Hunter, W. R. Lawton and J. H. Gordon of Brooklyn; Dr. A. C. Powell, M. W. Gilbert and G. H. Slims of New York and Dr. R. D. Wynn of Jersey City, N. J. The installation services were presided over by Dr. L. J. Brown. The installation sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist church, Richmond, Va. Dr. Johnson is a schoolmate and lifelong friend of Dr. Moss. His text was taken from Acts x. 20. "Therefore came I unto you without gainaying as soon as I was sent for; I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me." Dr. Johnson's theme was "Readiness For Service." He said in part: "In searching God's word for a text on this occasion the vision of Corneius and Peter came clearly before my mind. In the vision I saw two devout men, one a Jew, the other a gentle, neither having any dealing with the other; one an instructor, the other to be instructed. Both had divine revelations through visions. Peter came doubting nothing, yielding himself to divine guidance. "I believe that God directed you in extending a call to your present pastor, Dr. Moss. I can also say with emphasis that I believe that God directed his coming to you. And, like Peter, he yielded completely and trusted fully in him. Dr. Moss is a man of influence, a great preacher, lover of young people, a man of enduring friendship, sympathetic, broad minded and one who in his ministerial career has proved himself to be a star of the first magnitude." Dr. Moss' response to the sermon, the charge, the hand of fellowship and the welcome from the citizens and the press was hearty, full of life, well worded and timely. Mrs. Rebecca A. Booker represented the Forgetmenton Floral club of the church, and Deacon Charles E. Murrow furnished personally boutonnieres for all the officers of the church and the speakers at the installation hour. The choir under the leadership of Professor P. A. Myers discoursed sweet music. The total collection amounted to $475.37. COMMERCIAL Weekly Review of Trade and Market Reports. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "The actual volume of trade is well maintained and the hopeful business sentiment which has been in evidence the last two weeks continues. Retail trade is somewhat affected by the un- seasonal warm weather, but-reports from most of the leading cities are quite satisfactory and reflect a cheer- ful view as to the outlook." Bradstreet's says: "Irregular weather conditions figure largely in the trade reports this week and are held mainly responsible for the rather smaller than expected volume of sales reported as a whole. Wholesale and jobbing business displayed the same caution and conservatism noted earlier, and house buying was of a hand-to-mouth character, though reports from some leading markets are of a volume of trade equal or superior to last year. Business failures in the United States for the week ended October 20 were 197, against 233 last week, 244 in the like week of 1909, 231 in 1908, 220 in 1907 and 184 in 1906."

Untold millions in gold, iron, iron and copper mines await the fortunate man or men who discover their true location. A wonderful instrument called the Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular minesal sought for. Lost and 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. We understand, however, that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa., handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be glad to correspond with anyone interested in the subject. They issue a large catalogue which will be paid free to anyone writing them. Address P. & M. Accency 128 and St. Palmyra, Pa. Dally, except Sunday, Sunday only. Stewart, Lv. M. ltoal, Lv.

BALTIMORE, OCT. 29, 1910 Driving a tack in one's hand to cure blindness is surely something new under the sun. A colored man up in New Jersey is so ticklish that when touched in the ribs by a white friend the other day jumped through the windows of a Chinese restaurant and had to pay a fine for doing so. The next time his friend tickles him he would do well to see to it that he is not near anybody's windows. Aviating is no doubt a very exhilarating sport, but we prefer walking, a street car, or even an old fashioned omnibus. With either of the latter we are pretty sure that we are going to land somewhere, and very probably safe, but with the other it is always doubtful. A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. It does seem to us that our Methodist brethren had a very good opportunity to teach their white brethren a lesson in Christian ethics it nothing more. The mere fact that they had no desire to have their colored brother help in entertaining the Missionary Board and assisting in the great missionary rally, was enough of itself to set the seal of condemnation upon their act. While we would have had our colored brethren of the Methodist faith administer a well deserved rebuke, yet we would also have them show a far more Christian-like spirit than did their white brethren. The damnable spirit of prejudice has so permeated every phase of white character that they cannot even be Christians because of it. If Jesus Christ were to come to earth again and dared to visit a Negro family it would be enough to condemn Him in the eyes of, every so-called white Christian in the Southland. They would treat Him worse than He was treated by the Jews when He was upon earth, and they would crucify Him too. Here is a great Christian denomination preparing to hold a Missionary Meeting, the board of which is ostensibly organized for the purpose of converting the heathen to the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ in foreign lands while ostracising their brothers at home. Surely this is a case of taking the mote out of another's eyes before taking the beam out of our own. We shall perhaps have more to say on the subject later on. THE MAKING OF HOMES. There is no subject of more practical and direct importance to the race than that of home-making. As important and necessary as the purchase of lands and buildings, and the acquisition of all kinds of material things, yet they are of little value unless the home-life of the race is constantly keeping apace with such outward progress. Our subject is a difficult one, for it is essentially a spiritual one. Religion is the perfection of morality. In fact, it is difficult to conceive of any kind of morality apart from religion. As we have often said through these columns, the chief thing which must distinguish our ministers of the Gospel is righteousness, or goodness of character. Whatever else they may be, people must naturally think of them as good and clean men. They may be very deficient in theology, they may not be eloquent or gifted in the line of money raising, but one thing must certainly charterize them, and that is they must live righteous lives. We dwell upon this in connection with homemaking, because the mothers who are the chief factors in this business must get from the church their chief stimulus. If there be any class of persons to whom they have a right to turn for sympathy, suggestion and guidance, it is to the clergy, the spiritual leaders of the people. This, the highest interest of the race, demands the highest moral and spiritual efficiency in the ministry. But, ministers are human beings, attended with human wants, and subjected to all the temptations which befall humanity. Lay people, generally, should be thoroughly interested in doing all within their power to render our ministers morally strong and effective, and this service can best be rendered by freeing them of many secular cares and responsibilities which they now sustain. The preacher as a money gatherer and a general leader and promoter in the secular affairs of the church is not a normal and proper figure. A man whose business it is to become pre-eminently distinguished in righteousness must necessarily draw all his cares and concerns in that single direction. He must be a man of prayer and meditation. He must be a daily student of his Bible, and a constant visitor among the sick and afflicted. These are the objects upon which his vitality must feed, if he is to wax strong in the power of grace and be ready to administer to the various spiritual maladies Now what has all this to do with home-making? Precisely this. Our heme life in the past has suffered because of the lack of this mighty spiritual and moral force steadily pouring into it. This has been, largely, because the preacher is compelled to be more of a secular than a spiritual leader. We therefore would clear the way for the best work that can be perform in connection with our home-life. We would have, as much as possible, the preacher divorced from secular concerns, that he may give himself wholly to moral and spiritual matters for the good of the people he would wisely lead. We could wish that it were possible that the preacher would not have to do with the raising of a single penny; that there were sufficient intelligence, zeal and genuine Christain love as would inspire the people of the congregation to freely yield themselves to this kind of service. Such being the case, we would have better preaching in our church; sermons that are really educative and instructive, and more direct and intimate contact with the people in their homes. The preacher would know his flock; he would know the varying dispositions of boys and girls; he would be fully and intimately acquainted with the ueeds, along all lines of his people. There would be a tremendous increase in the moral and spiritual life of the race. Our homes would be happier, and every preacher walking among us would be regarded as a veritable "man of God." Under such conditions it would be hardly possible for many who pass off as ministers of the Gospel to live and thrive. We must improve our home life, but the work must begin in the church. Raising the money to sustain the necessary expenses of a church is a business proposition of the most sacred character, and this should be done, not be, the preacher, but by the people. Herein lies one of the most fundamental reforms in our racial life, and the solving of this problem will carry with it the solution of many others contingent thereupon. We are not unaware that we have struck a vital point. But it is high time that we were requiring the art of self-criticism. As long as we persuade ourselves that our methods are tautless, and need no revision, just as long will we remain a stumbling block in the way of our own progress. REV. J. O. SPENCER HOME FROM LYNCHBURG, VA. Rev, J. O. Spencer, president of Morgan College, returned Thursday afternoon from a visit to the branches at Princess Anne, Md., and Lynchburg, Va. He says that the work at Princess Anne, under the direction of Rev. T. H. Kiah, and at Lynchburg, in charge of Prof. Frank Trigg, are getting along smoothly. Nearly two hundred representative men and women of the race crowded the First Branch City Council Chambers when the second hearing of those opposed to the West segregation ordinance was held last Monday night. The Committee on Police and Jail, who heard the various protestants, listened intently as the different speakers eloquently plead against the enactment of a measure which will not only hinder the race, but will retard the development of the whole city. The speakers were Revs. G. P. Bragg, Jr., a. L. Gaines, G. R. Waller, W. a. C. Hughes, Dr. R. G. Chissell, Attorney G. L. Pendleton, Mr. John W. Martin, Mr. Jacob M. Levy and Mrs. Emma J. Truxon, Mr. A. T. Waller introduced the various speakers. Dr. Hughes and Dr. Chissell, in their arguments, spoke of the bad effect a congest alley population A. H. has on the health of the community. Dr. Gaines declared that the measure was contrary to the provisions of the war amendments and that its enactment would drive prospective investors from the city. Despite the fact that it was announced that the hearing was to be the last granted, a rumor was in circulation that a number of real estate men had asked to be heard on the subject. Though it seems as if the First Branch City Council will pass the measure, the residents of every ward should urge their respective councilman to vote against the measure Literary And Debating ident—Other Officers Elected. A literary and debating society, which is to be the forum of the people, was organized last Friday night at Grace Fresbyterian Church. Mr. W. Ashieh Hawkins read a paper on "Race Segregation and Its Meaning," after which a general discussion of the issues in the West segregation ordinance followed. Rev. L. Z. Johnson presided. Officers were elected as follows Clark L. Smith, president; W. Ashie Hawkins, vice president; Miss Annie Smith, secretary; W. H. J. Wheeler, treasurer; Rev. L. Z. Johnson, Rev. W. E. Williams, Clark L. Smith and Miss Annie Smith, executive committee. Over 30 years ago, St. Paul's Lyceum was a potent force in the educational advance of the community, and many of its members rose to positions of influence in various communities. Nearly 20 years age the Monumental Literary and Scientific Association held sway at the Madison Street Presbyterian Church, and was the scene of a number of memorable debates. Nearly eight years ago another literary society lived a brief season, and since then Baltimore has had no such association. The newly formed society will meet next Friday night. NEW COLORED CATHOLIC CHURCH Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 23—The first colo ed Catholic Church in the Middle West was formally opened here last Sunda. It will be known as St. Monica's Church, and is the result of a gift of $8,000 made by Mother Catherine. Dresden of Philadelphia. $20,000 will be spent in fitting up the church. WHITE MINISTERS SEVERELY CRITICISED The white Methodist, who have in charge the arrangements for the great missionary rally which is to be held here next week, were severely criticised at the meeting of the Methodist ministers Wednesday for ignoring the colored churches in their arrangements for the session. It appears that the white Methodists of this city form a general committee to provide for the enterment of the many whites who were to attend the meeting. The colored contingent were not even asked to participate, and when a delegation of colored ministers called on their white ministerial friends to see if they could be of any assistance in helping their white friends, they were, it is said, even denied a herring. The whites went on, with their work of raising funds for the entertainment for the Board of Missions, until they found out that there were five colored members of the board. They Rev. J. M. Gray, at whose church the business sessions of the board will be held, went to Rev. D. W. Shaw, pastor of Centennial M. E. Church, and asked him if he would not arrange to give the colored members dinner each day, as it was not "convenient" to provide the same for them with the other members of the board. Pastor Gray also sought the aid of Rev. W. A. C. Hughes in finding homes for the five colored members of the board, and the mentioning by Dr. Hughes of Rev. Gray's request brought forth a storm of protest from the ministers. "They did not even ask us to aid them in arranging the gatherings, and now they want us to pull their chestnuts out of the fire," said one minister. "They ignored us utterly when we called on them," said another; and "If they did not want out aid at first, I do not see why we should help them now," declared still another divine, who keenly felt the slight by his white fellow-workers in the Master's cause. It was finally agreed, however, to do everything possible to make the stay of the colored members of the board most pleasant. The ministers had a little balm for their wounded feelings, however, for they were given some admission tickets to the big rally at the Lyric next Wednesday night, when Colonel Roosevelt, and former Vice President Fairbanks will deliver addresses. The colored members of the board are: Rev. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans; Rev. W. W. Lucas, Mississippi; Prof. R. S. Lovinggood, of Austin, Texas; Rev. George H. Cooper, of Orangeburg, S. C., and B. P. McEwen. The ministers elected the following officers for the ensuing quarter: Rev. J. A. Holmes, president; Rev. L. W. Briggs, vice president; Rev. M. J. Naylor, second vice president; Rev. J. C. Love, secretary; Rev. J. H. Jenkius, secretary, and Rev. Nathan Johnus, marshal.

Costen, caused the arrest of her husband because of taking $120 from her trunk. The money is said to be the property of a lady friend of Mrs. Costen. Some sensational developments are looked for when the trial comes off. The manifold problems affecting the women of the race, especially those who are mothers, were discussed at the fifth annual meeting of the Federation of Christian Women, which began at Grace Presbyterian Church Wednesday morning and ended last night.

BRISCOE SPEAKS "The minister of our denomination who serves five years at a church should be willing to take a small charge and give us who have small charges a chance. Matters would be even then. I am also opposed to any presiding elder being a candidate for the General Conference." The above statement was made by Rev. J. H. Briscoe at the A. M. E. Preacher's Meeting, held at the Bethel A. M. E. Church on Monday of this week. By Miss M. Edyth Cooper, Editor. Mrs. E. J. Truxon Asso. Ed.

Sunday is Epworth League Rally Day at Chase M. E. Church. It is not enough to read one's Bible. One must put its precepts into practice. Miss Josephine Henry of the Goucher Chapter read a very interesting paper at the afternoon service of the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday. The League must stand by the pastor in his plans for special evangelistic work, or it is not true to its main object: Mr. James A. Harris is president of the John A. Holmes Chapter, this season. Mr. Harris is an experienced church worker, and an enthusiastic Sunday School man. We wish him much success in this new field of activity. Time is man's opportunity during which he proves his fitness for eternity. The Epworth League Chapter of Sharp St. Memorial Church entertained the students of Morgan College last Friday evening. Several students of the college gave declamations, and musical selections were rendered by Miss Anderson, of Lynchburg, Va., and Miss Rosalia Fisher. Prayer is a divinely appointed means of Grace and we should always avail ourselves of its opportunities and blessings. The Social given by the W. C. Thompson Chapter last Saturday evening was voted a success. The participants in the evening's pleasure were: Misses Florence Henry and Mabel Pierce, Messrs. S. P. jones, David Henry and Ginn, of Morgan College. Make your life count for the best things. Have you seen the buttons that the Whatcoat Sunday School gave its scholars last Sunday. And now here is another man who claims to know just what we need most for he says that the one great need of the age is to get the right idea about work and its relation to life. It is not the idea alone that we need, but the action prompted by this idea. Mrs. S. Holmes attended the Womens Home Missionary Convention in New York, last week. Mrs. Susie E.

FROM LINCOLN TO TAFT During The Fifty Years of Its Existence The Republican Party Has Abolished Slavery, Increased Wages, Encouraged Commerce, Kept All Of Its Promises And By Wise Legislation Placed the United States At The Head Of All Nations of The World-Its Greatest Men, Past And Present, Have Favored A Protective Tariff. Support the Administration of President Taft by electing Republican Congressmen who help him to redeem all pledges. "I don't know much about the tariff, but I know this much, when we buy manufactured goods abroad we get the goods and the foreigner gets the money. When we buy the manufactured goods at home we get both the goods and the money"—ADRAMH LINCOLN. "The American system of locating manufacturing next to the plow and the pasture has produced a result noticeable by the intelligent portion of all commercial nations."—Ulysses S. GRANT. "The most work there is to do in this country the higher the wages that will be paid for doing it. That policy which secures the largest amount of work to be done at home is the policy which will secure to our laboring men steady employment at the best wages."—BRJAMIN HARRISON. "The Republican party stands for honest money and the chance to earn it by honest toil. Protection has vindicated itself. It cannot be helped by enology or hurt by defaation. It has worked its own demonstration and it presents in the sight of the whole world its matchless trophies."—WM. McKINLEY. "This country has and this country needs better paid, better educated, better fed and better clothed workingmen of a higher type than are to be found in any other country. It has and it needs a higher, more vigorous and more prosperous type of tillers of the soil than is possessed by any other country."—THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "The present business system of the country rests on the protective tariff and any attempt to change it to a free trade basis will certainly lead to disaster. It is important that all Republicans who believe in the party principles as declared in the national platform of 1908 should give the candidates loyal and effective support. If this is done there will be no doubt of a Republican majority. The only alternative is a Democratic victory."—War. HOWARD TAMT. "For the man who in his heart wants to preserve fair and reasonable protection for the American wage earner and the American producer it would be the extreme of madness to vote for a Democrat for Congress. We must not strike a just principle because we may not be satisfied with its present application." - A. B. Cummins, of Iowa, leader of the so-called Republican Insurgents. The Republican candidates are: First District, Abraham Lincoln Dryden. Second District, Wm. B. Baker. Third District, Charles W. Main. Fourth District, Addison E. Mullikin. Fifth District, Thomas Parran. Sixth District, Brainerd H. Warner, Jr. They may be depended to vote right. No others can be.

No woman should submit to a surpli- cal operation, which may mean death, until she has given Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made exclusively from roots and herbs, a fair trial.

It cures female lilies, and creates radiant, buoyant female hair. If you are ill, for your own sake as well as those you love, give it a trial.

WON $50 PRIZE FOR ORATORY Difficulties Which Hinder the Progress of Afro-Americans In the Legal Profession Are Gradually Being Removed—Influence of S. D. McGill as an Attorney in Jacksonville. The anathema of a class of American citizens which has endowed to restrict the natural limitation of the developing powers of Afro-Americans has been more keenly felt by a certain element of professional persons of the race than any other individuals of the same race especially qualified to be known as members of a professional clan. The procedure of the prejudice minded in the realm that requires scholastic attainments and the mastering of jurisprudence against a person of Negro blood who is qualified to act and demand the rights guaranteed every citizen has in a marked degree had a disharmoning effect upon those entering the field of American jurisprudence. Thus every Afro-American possessing race pride should give his legal work to a colored lawyer. This branch of the professions engaged in by the Negro is essential, absolutely so, for the maintenance of all substantial movements conducted by the American Negro. These conditions require the very best training that American institutions of learning can give to the young men and women of the race who are entering the professions and especially that of law. Being impressed with the native ability of S. Decatur McGill of Sanford, Fla., Professor T. V. Gibbs advised him to enter the Tallahassee State college, where he remained a year, when he accepted a scholarship in Edwards Waters college in Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. McGill graduated with honors from the above institution in 1902. Seeing a rational possibility for sue- 4 cess for a colored lawyer in Florida, he decided to enter Summer academy, South Hybrid, Mass., an institution that would give him the necessary preparation for an excellent career in his native state. At this academy he won a prize of $50 in an oratory contest, being the only Afro-American in the contest. He graduated from this noted school with honors and the next year specialized at Harvard university for the study of his chosen profession. During the year 1304 he entered the Boston University Law school and did special work in the college department. The next year he was awarded a scholarship in this school, representing New England ideals for the centro time required for his graduation. During the famous peace conference at Portsmouth, N. H., in the summer of 1905 between the Japanese and Russian nations M. Witte, the great Russian statesman, made young McGill his special messenger. McGill made such a success in teaching some of the Russian party English that the leading papers of New England ran interesting stories, with illustrators, on the incident and the native ability of this young law student. The argument of the pessimists who claim that a Negro lawyer is and will always be a failure in a number of the southern states where he is prescribed in becoming by transpiring events a metamorphosis of ideas and a delusion. Lawyer McGill does not have to indulge in unmanly yielding of principle to win a case, but the merits of the case, being established in the light of legal procedure, gain for him recognition that his honesty and ability demand. Respect For Political Independence. This is the day of independent voting, and it is not a great surprise any more to see rock ribbed districts and states roll up a majority for a man whose politics is opposite to that usually victorious, says the Cleveland (O.) Journal. So, then, citizens of our race, who have just as strongly independent notions as those of others, could not much be blamed if for "good and sufficient reasons" they voted for some man other than a Republican.

The military committee of the board of education at Washington, which consists of Captain James F. Oyster, chairman; President W. V. Cox and Mr. R. R. Horner, has announced the staff and field officers of the separate battalion of high school cadets. The battalion of colored cadets will this year consist of six companies, two of which will be at the M Street high school and four at the Armstrong Manual Training school. Because of the rigid enforcement of the rule relating to the enlistment of cadets the enrollment of cadets this year is in excess of that of previous years. The officers are as follows: Major, Norman Ewing, Armstrong Manual Training school; adjunct, Preston Early, M Street high school. Captains of companies are: Hugh B. Shipley and Charles M. Wilder, M Street high school; John R. Fearing, William E. Davis, Thomas E. Jenkins and Clinton Wood, Armstrong Manual Training school. First lieutenants are: Francis Magruder and Charles Houston, M Street high school; Edward Dixon, Charles W. Scott, Riddick II. Prec and Graham A. Burwell, Armstrong Manual Training school. Second lieutenants are: George Adams, George Hayes and Francis Dent, H Street high school; Franklin Carter, Harry Whitfield, Harold B. Murray, William H. Watts and Ernest Mabray, Armstrong Manual Training school. Major Norman Ewing is the son of J. R. Ewing, clerk in the treasury department, and a grandson of Captain James P. Norman of Falls Church, Va. Major Ewing entered the Armstrong school in 1907 and served with great credit to himself and to the school in the positions of private, corporal, first sergeant and lieutenant. Besides his military examination, his high scholarship and many bearing have won for him the position at the head of the battalion. Major Arthur Brooks is the military instructor of the high school cadets. NOTED SONGSTER BEGINS RETIRING SONG RECITALS. Mme. Hackley Will Devote Future to Developing Young Musicians. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Under the able and successful management of G. Grant Williams. Mme. E. Ezalia Hackley, the noted soprano soloist, made her last public appearance as a concert artist at the American Academy of Music. Philadelphia, on Wednesday evening, Oct. 19, before an immense audience. The event marked the beginning of a series of retiring recitals which Mme. Hackley will give. Previous plans for the tour were interrupted by the advent of Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the blind soprano girl, to whom Mme. Hackley has devoted much time. Upon the completion of her tour she will begin the development of plans to help young musicians and also for the improvement of musical conditions generally among our people. The occasion also marked the debut of Miss Mayme White as a pianist. Miss Mayme received her musical education at the Oberlin (O.) Conservatory of Music. She received a warm welcome. Other well known artists who assisted Mine. Huckley in the recital were Harrison Emuelan, a favorite young violinist of Chicago; J. Thomas Butler, dramatic reader. Philadelphia; Miss Isabelle Tallafecro, who is one of Philadelphia's most recent young musicians. Miss Tallafecro made an enviable record for herself while a student at the New England Conservatory of Music. Chance Cameron White, noted violinist, and Mrs. Louise Alston Burleigh, reader, gave much enthusiasm to the occasion in the rendition of several favorite selections. Mrs. Burleigh read from her own book of poems. Those reflecting childhood days reveal the genius of the author in a happy vein. FIGHT ON IN BALTIMORE. Attempt to Segregate Colored Citizens Meets Stubborn Opposition. The colored citizens turned out nobly at the city hall of Baltimore Monday night, Oct. 24, to protest against the unfair ordinance some whites are seeking to have become a law in order to keep the colored people confined to certain residential neighborhoods. The bill confines the race to 'certain blocks occupied by a majority of colored people, but allows servants to reside in their employers' homes. Stirring addresses of protest against the measure were delivered by the Revs. A. L. Gaines, W. A. C. Hughes, W. E. Williams, G. R. Waller, Editor J. H. Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger and others. Harry S. Cummings, the only colored member of the city council, will make a stirring address when the measure comes up for final passage. Looking For Johnson's Superior. Miles McLeod of Albany, Mo. is the only white man who has thus far announced himself as the savior of his race to win back the lieuvyweight championship from Jack Johnson. McLeod weighs 225 pounds, is twenty-eight years of age and says he is no novice in the boxing business when it comes to scientific bitting and severe punishment. Joe Clioynski seems to be the self appointed leader whose business it shall be to find a white man who can whip Champion John Arthur Johnson. A Logical Landlord Many a tenant will sympatzize with the man in this story, from the Philadelphia Record. He was renting a small house which the landlord had refused to repair. One day the owner came to see him. "Jones," he said, "I shall have to raise your rent." "What for?" asked Jones, anxiously. "Have taxes gone up?" "No," the landlord answered, "but I see you've painted the house and put in a new range and bathtub. That, of course, makes it worth more rent." An extremely corpulent old lady was entertaining her grandchild at lunch when she found occasion to reprimand the little girl for dropping some food on the tablecloth. "You don't see grandma dropping anything on the table," she said. "Of course not," replied the child; "God gave you something in front to stop it." This is the name of the greatest of all remedies for Distemper, Pink Eye, Heavens, and the like among all ages of horses.
