XIX NO. 12 CAN THE "BLACK CABINET" REGAIN ITS PRESTIGE WITH NEW LEADERS IN THE FIELD THE OLD MEMBERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO "COME BACK" With All This Available New Blood Its Seems That The Old 'Black Cabinet' Will Not be Able To Measure Up-The Ques tion Is Being Asked In All Seriousness—The Race Needs And Want New And Stronger Men At Washington—The Amphion Glee Club Has A Large Evening Glee Club Has A Large Evening Bureau of The Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St. N. W. Washington, D. C., Nov. 16.—Now that J. O. Napier is to come as Regist er of the Treasury, and W. H. Lewis is on his way to be Assistant Attorney- General, together with Collector White- field. McKinlay and Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson, already in the high official saddle, the question is being proposed in all seriousness: "With all of this new blood available, can the firstly famous 'Black Cabinet' come back?" Changes in personnel and factional differences led to a disbandment some time ago of the old "Cabinot, but there are new faces in sight; old alignments have been lost sight of, and there are so many live issues pressing for settlement that the need of a definite understanding on the part of the principal office-holders is sorely felt. The foregoing, reinforced by the "regulars," Auditor Tyler, Judge Terrell, District Attorney Cobb and their press gang, ought to be an invincible combination, able and willing to win any of the administration forces around to their way of thinking on any reasonable proposition. The race at large is insisting more and more upon having leaders at Washington who can pull more than their own weight, and great things are expected of these sages who stand as our "watchmen on the wall." Can the "Black Cabinet" come back? The Amphion Glee Club which for years, has stood at the head of the musical activities of the race in Washington spent "An Evening With Director J. Henry Lewis" Wednesday at McCain's Cate, 14th and Church Sts, in commemoration of the 21st (?) birthday of the club's founder, business manager and music master. Covers were laid for twenty-five and the occasion was one of rave enjoyment. Prof. Lewis acted as toastmaster, by general request, and the club rendered a number of choice selections before, during and after the spread. Apropriate toasts were responded to by Messrs. J. H. Washington, presiding the Amphions; C. H. Deans, a former president; A. Champ, R. W. Nimpson; J. B. Jefferson, J. D. Barb, E. H. Lawson, Oliver Randolph, John H. Wills, L. E. Johnson and others, with a witty retweet by Prof. Lewis. A hard-one gold mounted fountain pen was among the pleasant birthday reminders presented to the guest of honor. The Amphibians have sung, before Presidents of the United States. Senators and Representatives in Congress and the Supreme Court and of the diplomatic Corps. WINCHESTER NOTES Winchester, Va.

County [Clerk Refused to Honor Increased Salary Warrants.] Guthrie, Nkla., Nov. 17—The raising of the salary of the colored teachers of Logan county by ten per cent, and the refusal of County Clerk Morgan to honor the warrants for the increased pry, have thrown the matter into the courts. The Oklahoma State Bank, which bought up nearly all the pay warrant-of the teachers, pr-sented them to Clerk Morgan, and he refused to pay them, claiming that the increase was void. The matter was taken into court and a decision rendered against Morgan. He has taken an appeal. Southerners Were no Match For The "Bull-Necks" From The District of Columbia. (Special to the Afro-American.) Raleigh, N. C., November 12—The annual football game between the teams of Howard and Shaw universities, which was played here on Shaw's gridiron last Friday, resulted in an overwhelming victory for the visitors by a score of 21 to 0. Howard showed her superiority in every department of the game. Their work in the back field was simply superb while the line work was up to the standard. For Sha r. "Joe" Brown and Captain Check were the bright stars, not only playing a phenomenal game themselves, but doing everything to induce ginger into the line team-mates. But no use, for when the visit after three minutes play, made their first touchdown and when Sam Jones, Shaw's we eran quarter and only hope failed to "come back" the whole team went to pieces. Before the terrible oblauch of the Howard boys, Shaw seemed helpless and Jones was unable to lead his boys to their first down throughout the game. Brick, the vision's little quarter followed close, behind "Terrible" Terry and Gray, the two star half backs, in spectacular work. The following was the line-up: Howard Position Shaw Tyson, Stratton L. E. Thomas Durash, L. T. J. Joes Smith, L. G. Hawkins Moore Centre Spright Cellan R.G. Strudwck Slaughter R.E. Cheek, Capt.

REMEMBERED HER ALMA MATER WITH A SMALL BEQUEST DR. U. G. MASON, OF BIR. MINGHAM, CARRIES OUT THE DYING REQUEST OF HIS WIFE. By Laying A Check For $50.00 On The Table At The North Alabama Conference For Wilberforce University To Aid Deserving Young Women In Securing An Education—Bishop Parks Expels Two Ministers From The Church.—A Widow Appears In A Sad Plight. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Birmingham, Ala.—I wrote to you last week from Jackson, but did not get to send the letter. Upon reaching Birmingham I called at the office of Dr. U. G. Mason, and got to talking to him about affairs, and I was almost made speechless when he informed me that his wife had died since I was here last. I had not heard of her death. Dr. Mason has lost a good wife. She was strictly attentive to her home and children, and spent her life for husband and children. I cannot understand, but this has been a year of deaths. So many of our people have passed into the great beyond, but the Lord has left me and Ediator Murphy here for some purpose. I know not what. I was in the North Alabama conference, when Dr. Mason walked up and paid a check for $10 saying that it was the request of his wife on her dying bed. When she was a young girl preparing for life, the conference had secured for her a scholarship in Wilberforce, and it was her desire to give something to help some other deserving girl. I am glad to note that our women are learning to leave something for the struggling girls. May God give us more. I do not mean take them away, but give us women who will help the young girls who desire to accomplish something in life. I have attended the North Alabama Conference and this week I leave Bishop Parks. I am going to attend the Baptist State University next week. Every man in this world should strive to be useful, and a life that is not useful is not worth living. I have said to this much time I am not mind repeating it at this time. I have seen so many lives worth living, and worthy of example. I have been with Bishop H Blanton Parks for two weeks, and I have seen many good things in his life. He is a man who is in needed to do something for his people and he wants to make his church work go in this world. I am of the opinion that he is making a great headway. If you remember I was in Pulsaski, when I wrote to you the last time and now I have been with him in Union City, Tenn., where he met the West Tennessee conference. In then addition to this I had the pleasure of seeing Rev. H. J. Grant get down to a fight, and then Rev. J. A. Lindsay is in the conference. He is a great man and is starting out to do a good work in Memphis. In addition to this the conference expelled two ministers. I have never seen so much. There was a widow there, who was at the conference last year had a long black veil, weeping over the death of her husband, and the conference held memorial services last year, and this year she held the conference a whole day, trying to find the father of a little baby which she brought to conference with her. she said that she wanted the man who had promised to be her husband to do so, but he married another woman, and the reverend gentleman was expelled, and then another man was expelled for the same thing Bishop Park is calling for clean men in the parish, and this will do more to the peace. I am a friend of theACE, I found my way down to Jackson. I must tell you that I have been to Nashville, and thens I had the pleasure of spending a night with Dr. it F Boyd, a man who has assisted more young men to become doctors than any other one man in the country. He is one of the best [Continue on page 5] BISHOP J. S. FLIPPER WILL WORK FOR BANK DEPOSITORS Hon. Judson W. Lyons Will Intercede For The Depositors of The Freedmen's Bank. (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 17.—Former Congressman Judson W. Lons, will be in the city shortly to push the bill to reimburse the depositors of the ill-fated Freedman's Bank. There is yet about 38 per cent. of the deposits due to the depositors and it may be possible that Captain Lyons' efforts will be crowned with success. The measure was reported favorably by the committee of both houses of Congress, and has the hearty support of President Taft, who has sent a message to Congress on that subject. The passage of the bill means the distribution of more than a million of dollars among the colored people of the Southern States. Miss Georgia G. Moore, formerly of Louisville, Ky., has come to Washington, to take the chair of English and History at the National Training School for Girls at Lincoln Heights. She will no doubt prove an ideal assistant to Miss Nanne Burroughs, the president of the institution. J. C. Waters, of the Council Upper Classman of Howard University, announces the selection of Prof. W. H. Hart, of the Law Department, who will deliver an address on "The Law Eternal," before the Upper Classman, in Andrew Rankin Chapel, Friday evening, December 5. Admission is free. Able Sermons Were Preached And Large Congregations Attended. (Special to the Afro-American Leager.) Berkley, Va., Nov. 17.—St Thomas A. M. E. Zion church, of Compostella, Berkley, has just closed its 30th anniversary services. The anniversary was a successful one all the week—when Able sermons were preached by eminent minister Trinity A. M. E. Met, A. M. E. Zion and St Thomas A. M. E. Zion church chairs furnished music for the occasion. The opening and closing sermons were preached by the pastor, Rev L. T. conquest, D. D. The anniversary banquet was the closing feature. On Saturday night the storm avrose, led by Mr. Thos. Jefferson and Mrs. Eliza Smith. About 10.45 o'clock the storm struck the dining room of the parsonage and rained upon the dining room table, as a result leaving all ocellies of the season. It was a storm indeed, but pleasing to the pastor and wife. It certainly shows the members of St. Thomas church are still alive showing their highest esteem for their pastor to the puolic.

Reports of the Several Pastors And Presiding Elders of the West Arkansas Conference— Show Gratifying Increase along All Lines—Many Prominent Men and Women From Every Part of the Country Present— Addresses On Industrial Education. (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Texarkana, Tex., Nov. 10.—The twenty-sixth annual session of the West Arkansas conference of the A. M. E. Church convened in St. James A. M. E. Church in this city, Wed nesday morning. The conference is being presided over by Bishop J. S. Flipper, D. D., LL D., associated by Bishop William H. Heard of West Africa. The devotional services were conducted by the bishops, who were assisted by the presiding elders and was very impressive. Rev. P. S. Hill was elected secretary in chief. Bishop Flipper delivered his annual address which pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the church work in Arkansas and Oklahoma. He talked earnestly of the condition of the Negro morally, intellectually and financially. He made clear that the Negro west of the Mississippi, should give more attention to practical education and seek a deeper interest in the religion of Jesus Christ. The Bishop showed that he appreciated the progress made by his people in this section of this country but indicated that he depreciated much that he rewarded as sham. Bishop Flipper was for several years president of the largest Negro college in the city of Atlanta, GA, or in the city of Great Toltec. He has been both pastor and presiding elder in the State of Georgia, where the Negro owes more property than any other State in the country, paying taxes on $20,000,000 worth of property. When the reports of the pastors and presiding elders were read, they showed a much larger improvement in establishing mission points, adding members to the church and paying debts than at any time in the history of the church. Many prominent men and women from all over the country are attending the conference, among whom are Dr. J. M. Connor, of Little Rock, who, it is said, will be elected to the bishopric in 1912 at the conference of the work of the A. M. E. church west of the Mississippi river; Editor R. K. Wright, of the Philadelphia Book Concern; Dr. Julian C. Caldwall, head of the Christian Endeavor department of the A. M. E. church; Emily C. Knich, of Sorsoe City, N. J.; Dr. J. Lowe, representing the Church Extension Department, and Dr. W. A. Lewis, head of the U. P. A. department. Rev. Richard D.

COMMERCIAL Weekiy Review of Trade and : Marker Reports. ee Bradstreete’ Sars: “Trade reports a6.a whole are more uniformly favorable than” for some. time past. Distribution at rev tall has quite generally improved, largely because of colder weather and the realization of bumper corn and oats crops, though some parts of the Southwest and the South report that open weather has deterred improve. ment. However, the much better business done in retail lines has in turn resulted in a larger volume of jobbing re-orders, particularly tor seasonable drygoods, boots and shoes and women's wearing apparel: At first hands quiet still continues in the textile trades, and, while the under current {ie conservatively cheerful, there is no anticipation of future business in larger volume.” R, G, Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Tradé says: “In its bearing upon the future buying power ofthe country the most Important development of the week is the official confirmation of the har- vesting of tbe biggest corn crop on record, considerably over 3,000,000.- 000 bushels being the unparalleled yleld. The government report of cot~ ton ginning Is also helpful, ind.cat- Ing a crop well in excess of last year. The business outlook, howevor, Is still doubtful and under conservtive control, with the. volume of transac- tions considerably below ful’ capre- ty. The Snancial situation continues to maintain an ascendency over the commercial, and, while there is ro substantial recession of the moro’ hopetul sentiment recently esta lished, financial conditions aro nos clearly defined.” Wholesale Markets NEW YORK.—Wheat—Spot frm; No. 2 red, 96X¢, elevator and 96 t. 0, b& afloat; No, 1 Northera Du- luth, $1.14 f. 0, b. afloat.

NOTED EDUCATORS TO ATTEND Well Known School Which Started In Austin, Tex., Many Years Ago Will Tell What. It Has Accomplished In Ten Years of Actual Work—Professor Lovinggood's Career. The phenomenal progress which Samuel Huston college, at Austin, Tex., has made during its comparatively brief existence will be the occasion for the gathering of many former students as well as stunch friends of the school at the tenth anniversary exercises, which begin on Tuesday, Nov. 22, and continue until Friday, Dec. 2. The Samuel Huston college had its beginning some thirty years ago with the clamor of the colored people of that section for good school facilities for the children of that great cotton section of the country, with over 1,000,000 colored people. In 1838 Samuel Huston, an Iowa farmer, gave $0.000, with which six acres of land were purchased and a building started. Professor R. S. Lovinggood was elected by the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church as president of the school. With the aid of Mrs. Lovinggood he started to build up the school, which under his guidance has done so much for the intellectual and moral development of the race in Texas. The work has steadily grown in importance and value to that vicinity, and the school now has property valued at nearly $100,000 and over 500 students. Professor Lovinggood has the implicit confidence of the white and colored people of Texas and has their most cordial support in his work. Among the many speakers at the anniversary exercises will be Governor A. Campbell of Texas, Bishop Moore of the Methodist Episcopal church, Mayor A. P. Woolridge of Austin, Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of flowerd university; Dr. M. C. B. Mason of the Freedmen's Ald society of the Methodist Episcopal church and E. T. Burrows of Maine. A special campaign will soon be waged to raise $10,000 with which to build a trade building for boys. Professor Lovinggood was born in Stainholla, S. C., in 1804. After dishing the college course at Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., in 1800 be began the publication of the Atlanta Times. He sold his interest in the Times in 1803 to accept the principalship of one of the public schools of Birmingham, Ala. In 1803 he accepted the chair of Latin and Greek at Willey university, Marshall, Tex., where he labored with signal success until his selection as the builder up of the new university. He is a prominent layman in the Methodist church, has been a delegate to several general conferences, and he now represents the seventh Episcopal district on the board of foreign missions.

The act of administering first unto the needs and wants of those nearest us and then looking abroad for places to do good seems to have long since disappeared from the program of the Christian church in the United States, says the Savannah (Gaa) Tribune. It is an honorable, worthy and altogether necessary thing to take the gospel into lands after and spread the word of God to the islands of the sea. And we should not in the least discourage the diffusion of Christianity for anything, but it does seem essential that we first get our own home in order, for America is far from being a perfect land and can stand a great deal more missionary work among her own people than is now being done. There are places here in this beautiful land of ours that are as devoid of uplifting influences as the darkest spot of the dark continent. There are those among us who are as thoroughly lacking in the practice of principles of Christianity as will be found in the barbary islands of the Pacific ocean. And we do not have to go a thousand miles from Savannah to find such places, either, or strain our eyesight in the perusal of our daily newspapers for convincing evidence of there being a direful need of more effective church work among both blacks and whites. Business Men to Meet in Richmond. Much significance attaches to the meeting of business men, educator heads of secret and benevolent society of the race which convened in Richmond.

Untold millions in gold, silver, 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 mineral 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. We understand, however, that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa, handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rocks and would be gloed to correspond with anyone interested in the subject.

Thompson, formerly of Chicago, but now of Tuskegee Institute, in a recent issue of the Illinois Unchronical, raised a very important question in Negro journalism. He states that a number of inquiries have been put to him why there are no Negro tri-weekly or daily newspapers, and he is unable to answer and so he has put it up to the Negro newspapers themselves to answer the question. This same question has been asked the writer of this article perhaps a hundred times. There are a number of answers that could be made to this very important question, two will probably suffice. One of the answers is that the Negro reading public is not educated up to the point of supporting even weeklies properly much less dailies. How many Negro publishers are getting a fair living out of the papers they are publishing? We venture the assertion that there is not a round dozen the country over. Many of the most prosperous ones have a side line either in the printing business or something else and are thereby managing to make $\theta$ living a d at the same time keep their manors going. The second answer is that there is not one single Negro newspaper in the country properly equipped to run a successful daily. It requires a considerable amount of money to run a daily newspaper. And not only does it require money, but it requires a much larger amount of experience. Simply filling up an office with type, presses, stones and other incidentals necessary to run a paper is not sufficient, but it requires trained men. The former is comparatively easy of accomplishment, but the latter at present simple impossible. It seems to us that these two answers are all that is necessary, for it embraces the vital points necessary to successfully run, not only the newspaper business but any other business for that matter. The question then arises when will we have a Ngro daily newspaper? After all it may not be far in the distance. Experience in managing a weekly paper and making of it a real newspaper in the fullest sense of the word is rapidly building up a number of Negroes, who, at no distant period will be able to get together and successfully launch a daily paper that will be worth while. A daily paper to be successful must be able to take the place of the average white daily. We are not in a position to support a daily paper simply because it is printed and owned by colored people. In this like in everything else we must compete with the white man on his own ground. We cannot reasonable expect our people are going to buy a paper every day and pay probably more for it than for the white papers and get reasonably less. Those who do read want the news and this the Negro daily will have to supply or it will so go the way of all Negro newspaper flesh. Without the news, we cannot get subscribers, and without a good subscription list we cannot get advertisers. When we have solved this problem then we will have Negro dailies and not until then. POSSIBLY A WAY OUT. In a splendidly written article on "Negro Suffrage in Democracy" in the current issue of the "Atlantic Monthly," by Ray Stannard Baker, occurs the following passage: "Another influence also will tend to change the status of the Negro as a voter. That is the pending break-up of the political solidarity of the South. All the signs point to a political realignment upon new issues in this country both South and North. Old party names may even pass away. And that break-up, with the attendant struggle for votes, is certain to bring into politics thousands of Negroes and white men now disfranchised." In reading the above the thought came to us, after all, probably there is the solution of the whole political problem in the South. The average Negro has but little use for the word Democrat, and the same is largely true of the average Southern white man when it comes to the word Republican. To each of them the word means much that has to do with present and past conditions. The average Southern white man would as soon vote for the devil as for a Republican, and the same is true of the average Southern Negro. Now while the principals of neither party may be changed, changing of names might mean very much to both. Looking over the daily papers and noting the speeches of the several candidates for office, during the late campaign, one is struck with the great similarity of what each is standing for. Thousands of Democrats are for a protective tariff, while an equal number of Republicans are for a revision of the tariff downward, which is but another name for tariff for revenue only. This is true North and South. During the debate in Congress over the late revision of the tariff, numbers of Southern Senators were in favor of a protective tariff and voted that way when it came to certain articles in which they were interest. On the other hand certain Republicans wanted the tariff taken off certain articles in which they were interested or their constituents were interested. So after all the point of contact with both parties was very near. Now then there comes up an alignment in which a number of Republicans on the one side and a number of Democrats on the other side can agree. Thus the differentiation is so very small that it was not the hardest matter to get all parties to agree along certain lines. Now in this pending break-up, is it not possible for a number of Democrats on the one side and a large number of Republicans on the other to get together on certain issues, while it is quite as true that there is a possibility for those on the other side to agree, thus out of the two parties, each agreeing on the same thing, would it not be possible to erect two other parties and call them by different names. Thus there would be a new alignment of Democrat with Republican on certain issue and an alignment of Republicans and Democrats on certain other issues. In this new alignment, the Negro could and would be tolerated and coupled with the fact that there is a very large number of Negroes the country over that are dissatisfied with present conditions and because of the conditions are becoming more and more independent in their way of thinking, and where possible, voting, it does seem that the way would be open for all parties to come together on one common ground and thus open a way whereby the Negro would come into full possession of his franchise and be secure therein because of the need of both new parties for his vote. This very insignificant paragraph in Mr. Baker's article, may alter all be the entering wedge, to a fuller, truer and better manhood both for the Negro and the poor white man of the South and it evidently change the conditions of both for the good of each. THE ONE THING NEEDFUL. It is not money. Money is a more useful article, but it is not indispensable to right living. Dr Washington, during the present generation, has thoroughly kept before the race the importance of thrift and the necessity of obtaining material things. There are those who contend that the thing most necessary upon the part of the Negro just now is intellectual movements for gaining and counting the slan- ders of the adversary. Both of these ideas are correct, and are not opposed one towards the other. We must make all the money that we can honestly acquire, and we should also be prepared, dispassionately and wisely, to confute theories and ideas about the race which are not true. But, after all, the one thing needful upon the part of the race, is neither material or intellectual, but spiritual in the best sense of that word. The Ten Commandments, as a moral code, have never been repealed, and no advance in culture, or possession of material things can render the practice of the same unnecessary. After all, when we speak of the Ten Commandments we are concerned with the spirit and not simply with the letter. We can never permanently succeed along any line unless we have underneath a foundation which cannot be swept away. It is no answer at all to say that we are just as moral as the white man. It such be true, we are yet a very long ways from the goal. The best example of morality is not to be discerned in the white man. There is only one infallible mirror and that is morality as illustrated in the life and teachings of the Master. Whether we are able to follow it out in all of its various ramifications or not, yet the truth is Jesus Christ. To know him is life. If there be any sphere in which the Negro is to be specially distinguished, and attain undisputed excellence over all other races, it is in the realm of religion. His whole history, his present sufferings, as well as the circumstances surrounding his emancipation, unmistakably point in that direction. In this line we may compete with the white may, with every hope of excelling him. We shall have the other things, and a sufficiency of them, but in this particular business we shall lead. It cannot be that a race of people who intelligently, but persistently cultivate the unknown possibilities of their religious natures shall remain hampered as we are today. The Negro's salvation, industrially, materially, and every other way, is directly in one path, and only in one path, and that is, in accomplishing the purpose of Providence in introducing him in this country, which is to display in his daily life, in every avenue, a clearer and more effective illustration of the moral law, than has been displayed by the dominant white man. God needs this se vice for the benefit of the world. Therefore has He raised us up. If we take religion seriously, that is, really and truly, seek, the righteousness of God. He has promised that the other things shall be added. If on the other hand, we do not try to live better, cleaner, and nobler lives, than the peo, whose ancestors enslaved us, let us know of a certainty, that the Almighty, who moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform, will bring upon us calamity after calamity, until we remember Him who brought us out of darkness into light that we might serve Him. The best way for us to cry unto God is by loving righteousness, and serving him in sincerity and truth. All of this sounds very tame to men who do not believe in God, and no one believes who doubts, for to doubt is to be damned. But there is no way under heaven, where by the Negro people can be saved (we are not speaking of Heaven) in material and all other things necessary for the well being, except through that kind of religion which makes a man conspicuously honest, truth telling, faithful, merciful and kind. Those who advocate a solution which ignores the strenuous cultivation of good morals, day by day, are on the wrong track. True Reformers Brightening Up. Pursuant to a call from James H. Nutt, chief of the Maryland Division of the True Reformers, a largely attended meeting was held at the True Reformers' Hall last Monday night, when Rev. J. T. Carpenter, a deputy general of the Order told of the future of the Order, despite its present financial difficulties. Rev. Carpenter spoke of the efforts of leading white and colored citizens of Richmond, Va., to come to the rescue of the Order, and said that the failure of the bank would not hurt the fraternal department. As an evidence that the fraternal department was getting back to a firm basis, he said that $3,387 had been paid in death claims last week. Chief J. H. Nutt, Messrs. J. W. Thompson, Alexander Washington, W. H. Jack-on, John H. Gibson, J. W. Winston, Walter Jones and Turner Jackson and others made expressions of confidence in the future of the Order. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Richmond, head of the St. Lukes, was praised for her efforts to help the True Reformers during their present troubles. The colored press the country over does not seem to have shed many tears because the Democrats triumphed in the elctions last week and many of the papers regard the independence of the race as a sign of a new era for the Negro in this country. The following are some of the views expressed in a few of the leading race papers: "The immediate adoption," says T. Thomas Fortune in the Amsterdam News, "of a policy of commercializing party government in the Southern States, with Democrats in control as referees and the like, cemented the microbial work of disintegration. Then came the big-stick policy of President Roosevelt, when corporation interests and capitalism generally were ordered to buckle under the labor union and commission rule. Then party leaders in the States and in Congress were ordered to wait for orders from 'higher up.' The working out of these policies under Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft has brought us the disasters of Tuesday last." MUST FOLLOW BASIC PRINCIPLES. The New York Age, which worked ardently for Republican success, says: "Let the party get back to its old and saue principles, and get back in old-time harmony. Let all hold up the willing and able hands of William Howard Tat, rally to his administration and we will be nominated and gloriously re-elected in 1912." The Nashville (Tenn.) Globe says that the Negro voters not only were independent, but did not fail to let the public know as to whether they favored Taylor or Hooper. It says: "The part played by the Negro in this campaign, especially the way it was done, is a thing in Southern politics and marks the beginning of a better day in Tennessee. In the face of the arguments and the influence of many of the old leaders in politics, and among those leaders were some of the most substantial citizens in the State, we venture the assertion that fifty per cent. of the Negroes voted the straight Demperative ticket." REPUBLICANS DESERTED THE RACE. After declaring that Mr. Tait began wrong and citing the fact that the Republican leaders of the nation have tactly agreed to the disfranchisement and other race humiliating measures enacted by Southern States. The Rochester (N. Y.) Sentinel says that President Taft will have to greatly change his policy and demand that the Southern whites change their towards the race if he expects to have the support of the colored people in 1912. "If a Democratic Congressman from the North," it says further, "will introduce a measure that will give the Negro his political freedom that party may be assured that Negroes will support them." REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE. Speaking of the hostility of the colored voters in New York to the Republic in ticket, the St. Louis advance says: "Remember Brownsvill, was the war cry of many of the Negroes in New York. Prof. DuBois had it sounded all over the State, 'Jack' Johnson, the Negro champion, took the refrain, 'Remember Brownsville,' and it came back in enthusiastic responses from the throats of many thousand Negro voters. It sounded like the battle cry of 'Remember Fort Pillow,' that inspired Negro regiments during the Civil War. Note down Rosevelt, and to do it you must defeat the man he has chosen for Governor. If this defeat of Rosevelt is established it is good riddance for the party." HUMAN RIGHTS PARAMOUNT. In speaking of the result the Washington (D. C.) American, a Taft organ, admits that in some of the States some of the colored voters aligned themselves with the Democrats. "Important readjustments," it concludes, "will uncoubledly be made and those colored men who can hold the colored vote will be given greater recognition." SINES OF OMISSIONS. The Cleveland Journal declares that the ignoring of the Negro contributed to Republian defeat. It says: "Taking into regard the sins of omission, certain elements of the Republican party have not only been standpatters along commercial lines, but along lines that effect the Negro. They have ignored and brushed aside the Negro in almost every instance where his rights were at stake; they have regarded him as an unquestionable asset that needs attention only around election time. The election ought to open the eyes of Republicans to the fact that Negroes are voting as independently as white men. Human rights is to be the great issue of the future and an awakened conscience will insist on all men having an equal opportunity, regardless of the price." INDEPENDENCE SHOWS MANHOOD. The Boston Guardian, an assistant fighter for the rights of the race, praises the work of the National Negro Political League, which he says contributed in a measure to Democratic success, thereby, making friends for the race in helping to success some of the Democrats. It says: "This landslide went further, of course, in some places than the colored voters desired. That is always true of revolutions. But through those battling colored voters the respect of the race has been saved. The race would have been spit upon and despised by all if, when white Republicans were rebuking Tait and Roosevelt and killing off the latter's ambitions to be national dictator, the colored Republicans, who had been treated worst of all by both, stood in the way and tried to save them from the white Republicans' rebuke." DOING HIS OWN THINKING. "The Afro-American voter," says the Philadelphia Courant, "is beginning to do his own thinking and voting. He is beginning to realize the power and influence of the ballot. It is his own best defense and protection." DIVISION OF VOTE.HELPFUL "The independent stand," ventures the Nashville Clarion, "taken in politics by the colored people of Tennessee has placed them on higher ground in the eye of the Southern white man. It goes to show that they are thinking for themselves and have stopped being led by the nose by a few white Republicans without any consideration whatever. It is well that the Negro's have learned at last who their best friends are in the South." PARTY HAS CHANGED IDEALS. "The Dallas (Texas) Express criticises Taft, Hitche ck and other present day Repubican leaders, and says: "So far as the 'man and brother' was concerned in the State where he has been disfranchised he voted for political independence against the Republicans. From his viewpoint, the Republican party of Birney, Fremont, Lincoln, Sumner and Grant is dead." A SOCIALIST CONGRESSMAN. The election of Victor Berger, a Socialist, to represent the Fifth Wisconsin district in Congress, has occasion widespread comment. The eyes of the country will now be turned toward opportunity of his life to make friends for his party. As far as both of the old parties have gone in adopting measures to relieve the burdens under which men and women suffer and have provided means for the general uplift of the masses—they have been Socialistic in tendency. One of the aims of the Socialists, as we understand it, is to secure equality of opportunity for all men, and to that end its sports are to be lauded. We know of no one who is better fitted to represent his party than is Mr. Berger, and we wish him every success. The selection of Mr. Berger should inspire the race to work for the election of some colored man to Congress. We do not mean a mere politician, but a man whose grasp of public questions, especially those which affect the economic and social aspect of the race question, will entitle him to a bearer. A Negro Congressman may now seem a dream, but a Socialist mayor for Milwaukee was a dream a few years ago, and a Congressman from that party was not expected so soon. City Council man Harry S. Cummings is receiving congratulations on carrying the Seventeenth Ward by 1396 majority in the Congressional election last week. The result won him a hat from Collector stone. By Judge Stockbridge In Circuit Court No. 2. On Last Monday. The stirring scenes incident to the session here last September of the Biennial Movable Committee of Odd Fellows were brought to mind Monday in Circuit Court, No. 2, when Judge Stockbridge signed an order dismissing the temporary injunction gotten out by J. C. Asbury, former editor of the Odd Fellows Journal, restraining some of the leading officials of the Order from conducting the election of officers in any other manner than that prescribed by the laws of the Order. Among those in the court were W. L. Houston, of Chicago, grand master of the Order; B. J. Davis, of Atlanta, grand treasurer; James P. Needham, of Philadelphia, grand secretary; Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds at Washington and deputy grand master-elect; Jesse L. Nicholas, district grand secretary for Maryland; A. L.

On November 5, Meharry Medical College defeated Tuskegee Institute in a foot-ball game by a score of 5-0 Saturday, Nov. 12 on Bennett Field the great annual foot-ball game between Fisk University and Baptist College of Atlanta took place. All of Nashville turned out to see the game. The betting was 2 to 1 on Baptist College. At precisely 3 o'clock the referee's whistle blew and the great battle was on. Baptist College kicked off to Fiske and King brought the ball back 20 yards, while Upshur circle the end for 20 yards more and Baptist College held for downs. Upshaw dropped back for a punt, and Baptist College fumbled, Payne, of Fiske, falling on the ball and walking over the goal line for the first touchdown. Score Fisk. 5 Baptist College 0. By a series of kicks, line plunges and end runs, Fisk carried the ball over for the second touchdown of the game. At the end of the first quarter the score stood: Fiske 10 Baptist College 0. In the second quarter, Baptist College took a brace and held Fiske for successive downs, neither team being able to score. In the third quarter, Baptist College hammered the Fiske line in a lively fashion and by a number of brilliantly executed plays crossed Fiske's coveted goal for her first touchdown. Score Fiske 10 Baptist College 5. Again in the third quarter, Baptist College carried the ball to Fisks 8 yard line where Fiske hled like a stonewall for three successive downs. On the last down with 6 yards to gain Baptist College was thrown back for a loss of 4 yards. In the final quarter Fiske executed a neat forward pass for a large gain and carried the ball over for the third time. Baptist College kicked off to Fish who fumbled; a Baptist College man grabbed up the ball and raced over the line for a touchdown. Final score: Fisk 15, Baptist College 10. Miss Estelle S.

Now I am here, and I am visiting Lane College. This institution was founded by Bishop Issac Lane, a man who was born almost 77 years ago, and passed through all the hardships to slavery, and then was a preacher. He was the founder of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church because of his useful life. Now Jane College is one of the greatest institutions in the South for our people. At the head of the college is Prof. James F. Lune, president, who is one of the leading educators of his race. He was born in Jackson, attended school right here graduating from the college, of which he is president, and put on the finishing touch in Wheaton University, Nashville, Tenn. He returned as one of the teachers, and when they were looking around for a president, his name was suggested, and the trustees jumped in. It has proven to be a wise selection. The school has increased in number, in popularity and the people. Five years ago President Lane won the hand of Miss Mary E. Johnson, a brilliant young woman of Memphis. Tenn. She was a teacher in the Memphis school. phils nigir gilr Associated, with President Lane are Rev. F. A. Rogers, theological teacher; W. C. Cews, Mathematics; E. C. Williams, Latin and Greek; Miss L.

Johnson and Bryan, of Metropolitan Sunday School paid a fraternal visit to Whatcoat School last Sunday. Each of these young men made short addresses in the interest of the Sunday School work, and the impressions they made were very favorable. We hope that this will be but the beginning of a movement which will bring to the various church workers greater unity of purpose and broader interests. Let your League be a center of activities. Plan great things and then do them. Thanksgiving in song and story will be the theme discussed at the second Epworth League Social of the W. C. Thompson Chapter of Whatcoat next Monday evening, Professor Williams, an instructor at Morgan College will be the principal speaker. The Alphian Singing Society and the Wayman Quartette will render selections at the Epworth League next Sunday. Can you smile when everything goes dead wrong? It is rather hard but it is worth while especially for those who are round about you. The Allen League of Waters A.M. E. Church, is doing some excellent work. Mr. Joseph P. Waters Superintendent of the Sunday School is chairman of the program committee of the League, and he endeavors to present an intelligent and helpful program each Sunday. A course of biographical stories is contemplated. These stories have been carefully selected; the aim of the course being to acquaint the young folks more intimately with the great men of the colored race. Dr. Smith, of Christ's Institution will address the League on Sunday. BAGERSTOWN NOTES Hagerstown, Md., Nov.—A union tribe rally will be given at Ebenezer A. M. E. church, nexus Sunday.

Little Bob was much distressed because the birthdays of his sister Adelaide and his baby brother were going to arrive before his did. "All the burdies before mine," he mourned. "Couldn't you make mine come first, muver?" "No." interposed Adelaide, decisively, "nobody can change your birthday—not even mother!"

PUTS STOMACHS IN ORDER No Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or Dysppepsia Five, Minutes After Taking a Little, Diapsepsin. There should not be a case of Indigestion, dyspepsia or gastritis here if readers who are subject to Stomach trouble knew the tremendous anti-ferment and digestive vitreous contained in Diapsepsin. This harmless preparation will digest a heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discomfort, and relieve the sourst, acid stomach in five minutes, besides overcoming all soul, nauseous odors from the breath. If your stomach is sour and full of gas, or your food doesn't digest, and your meal don't seem to fit, why not get a 60-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any druggist here in town, and make life worth living. Absolute relief from Stomach misery and perfect digestion of anything you eat is sure to follow five minutes after, and besides, one fifty cent case is sufficient to cure a whole family of such trouble. Surely, a harmless, inexpensively preparation like Pape's Diapepsin which will always either at daytime or during night, relieve your sick sore, gassy, upset stomach and diges your meals, is about as handy and valuable a thing as you could have in the house. Bella—Perfectly; but why does the man run so hard with nobody after him? PISO'S IS THE NAME OF THE BEST MEDICINE for COUGHS AND GOLDE Scottish humor is dry rather than boisterous, and I always think there is exquisite droolery in the story of the Stonehaven railway porter and the Salvation Army "captain." To catch the hang of a little-yarn readers must remember that Stonehaven lies to the south of Aberdeen. The London trail had drawn up at Stonehaven on account of a slight mishap a mile or two ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had got into conversation with a Salvation Army officer who had popped his head out of the compartment to ask the reason for the delay. "Aye aye," mused Andra, after giving the desired information, "you'll be for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?" "Yes, my man," was the reply "I'm bound for Aberdeen—a very wicked place, I'm tolbl!" "What might ye be goin' to do there, sr, if it's as bad as a that" asked Andra, rather amused at the visitor's words. "Ah," was the plausible answer. "I'm going to drive the devil out of Aberdeen." Like lightning came from the oil porter the pawly retort: "See an' drive him north, shell hand him well to the north!"—Ex change. Somewhat indignant. The two extra-specialists had pounded and sounded him, and felt of his pulse and tapped his frame till he could only lie in a cold perspiration of fear. "Undoubtedly, it's a case of apprehension!" said specialist No. 1, gravely "Undoubtedly!" assented specialist No. 2. "Ah, would he?" echoed No. 2. They dug him in the ribs again and he squaled. "Ah," remarked No. 1. "I think w ought to let him get a bit stronger be fore we cut into him." "Confound your paler!!" gasped the patient, starting up. "What do you take me for—a cheese?" An Exciting Town. Los Angeles is a truly exciting town to live in. To say nothing of its heavenly alliances and its bombs, there is always something stimulating in the occult line going on. Just the other day a widow of the angelic city began to long for a sight of one of her schoolmates whom she had not seen for 45 years. The longing brought its fulfillment. A spirit told her to look for in Brooklyn. She obeyed met him on the street a few hours after she arrived, and promptly married him. It is worth while to live in a city where things like this happen, even at the risk of being blown up now and then. Easy Marks. "Talk erbout yore easy marks," said Uncle Silas Gechaw, who had been passing a week in the city, "na rubes ain't in it with them air teow chaps." "Did yew sell 'em enny gold bricks.

"Naw, I didn't." answered Uncle Silas, "but I seed a feller peddin' artificial ice—hed 'h sign right on his wagon—an' blamed ef th' chumps didn't buy it fer th' real thing, by grass!" The Number. "I hear your new auto made a good record on its trip." "Yes; ran over in about an hour." "How many?" His Specialty. "I hear that author friend of yours is making a fine living by his pen." "Yes. He's stopped writing and gone to raising pigs." DRINK WATER TO CURE KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM "The numerous cases of kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism are mainly due to the fact that the drinking of water, nature's greatest medicine, has been neglected. Stop loading your system with medicines and cure-alls; but get on the water wagon. If you are really sick, why, of course, take the proper medicines—plain, common vegetable treatment, which will not shatter the nerves or ruin the stomach." To cure Rheumatism you must make the kidneys do their work; they are the filters of the blood. They must be made to strain out of the blood the waste matter and acids that cause rheumatism; the urine must be neutralized so it will no longer be a source of irritation to the bladder, and most of all, you must keep these acids from forming in the stomach. This is the cause of stomach trouble and poor digestion. For these conditions you can do no better than take the following prescription: Fluid Extrac Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrupsarapillar, three ounces. Mix be shaking well in bottle and take teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime, but don't forget the water. Drink plenty and often. This valuable information and shi ple prescription should be posted in each household and used at the first sign of an attack of rheumatis ackache or urinary trouble, no ma ner how elight. ELITE WEDDING IN WASHINGTON FEATURES OF THE OCCASION. The Most Fashionable Society. Function at Nation's Capital For Many Years Was the Thomas-Gibson Nuptials, Which Occurred on Wednesday, Nov. 16, at Noon. One of the most fashionable weddings in Washington in recent years was solemnized on Wednesday, Nov. 16, noon, at 1404. Pierce place, northwest. The contracting parties were Miss Eva Blanche Gibson and Professor James S. Thomas of Baltimore. The bride is the sister of Mrs. Addr. R. Clarke, who as the promotor and successful manager of the Clarke Training School For Girls, Washington, has earned the reputation of being one of the clearest business women of the Capital City. Miss Gibson received her elementary education in the schools of Greens- [Pictorial portrait of a man in a suit and tie]. PROFESSOR J. S. THOMAS. boro, N. C., and Washington, and she finished at Bennet college and has since taken special courses at Cornell and Columbia universities. She is a specialist of the first water in domestic science and millinery. Since the completion of her education Miss Gibson has been engaged in teaching these branches in the following cities: Goldsboro, N. C.; Pittsburg, Atlantic City, N. I. and Washington. Professor Thomas is the son of Dr. I. L. Thomas, field agent of the board of home missions and church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church. Professor Thomas received his elementary education in the schools of Washington, is a graduate of the M street high school and took his college course at Wesleyan university, Middletown, Conn., graduating from this institution in 1903. While in college Professor Thomas made a specialty of the modern languages and at present is instructor of German in the high school of Baltimore. Along with his scholastic duties he finds time to be an active and enthusiastic worker in the Epworth League of Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal church. The home of the bride was tastefully decorated with beautiful flowers inmigled with autumn leaves. The arch under which the ceremony took place was a strikingly beautiful feature. The ceremony was performed by Dr. T. J. Brown, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church, Washington, and W. A. C. Hughes, pastor of Sharp Street Memorial M. E. church, Baltimore. The bride's trousseau was of oyster white satin, trimmed with pearls, hand embroidered, and chiffon. Her traveling suit was of brass colored ladies' cloth and she carried a wreath shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Miss Gibson was attended by Misses Fannie Cromwell and Eslander V. Thomas, sister of the groom. Miss Cromwell wore pink silk mul over white silk. Miss Thomas' dress was of blue chiffon over blue messaline satin. Mrs. C. C. Smith of Charlotte, N. C., was the matron of honor and wore lavender messaline silk with applique. I little Josephine Caldwell acted as Lower girl. The bride was given away by her sister, Mrs. Addie R. Clarke. Professor P. D. G. Pennington, instructor in biology in the Baltimore high school, aced as best man. Other gentlemen in attendance were Professor T. Jarvis Taylor, assistant director of the academic department, Tuskegee Institute; Mr. J. W. E. Bowen, Jr., a senior at Wesleyan, and Mr. F. G. Fenderson, Wesleyan, 10, all college chums of the groom. After the wedding a buffet luncheon of chicken salad, oyster patties, punch, lees and cue was served. The bridal parley left on the 9 o'clock train for Baltimore, the home of the groom. The whole affair reflected with credit the intelligence, culture and refinement of the contracting parties. Many of the best people of both Washington and Baltimore were present to witness the ceremony. CONCORD LITERARY CIRCLE. Observes Educators' Night — Miss Howard Principal Speaker. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The most interesting meeting of the Concord Literary circle in Brooklyn since the fall sessions began was held on Thursday evening: Nov. 10. It was educators and students' night and was attended by a refined and cultured gathering of Brooklyn's most progressive citizens. The speaker of the evening was Miss Amelia A. Howard, who is one of the teachers in public school No. 149. Miss Howard after her graduation from the girls' high school took a two years' course in the training school for teachers. After completing the prescribed course she passed a successful examination and was subsequently appointed to teach and assigned to duty as above stated. Miss Howard's subject was "The Importance of Home Education to Children." Miss Howard analyzed and defined her subject in a most beautiful and logical manner before proceeding to discuss it in detail. Like a true student of nature, she drew most of her illustrations from everyday observation. Her similes, metaphors and apostrophes were carefully selected and interwoven into the subject matter in a manner that gave charm and dignity to the speaker's utterances. Miss Howard believes that the foundation of all true education is laid in the home from early childhood up to and through the adolescent period and that such home training is the best supplement that school training can possibly have. Others who took part in the program were Miss Rebecca F. Martin, a former student of Hampton institute; Miss Chran A. Henry, who is pursuing a teacher training course in New York; Miss Maud Green of Plainfield, N. J.; who is a student in Peart Institute, Brooklyn; Miss Edna Levy, Miss Melba Grace邓碧和'Lillian C.

Taylor and his associate officers were highly gratified over the results of the meeting and were also encouraged, by the large and appreciative audience which greeted and listened to the program wifi such marked attention. On Thursday, Dec. S, there will be a debate. OF INTEREST TO FARMERS. Annual Conference to Be Hold at Tuskegee, Ala. Jan. 18, 1911. The next annual meeting, the "Tuskegee Negro farmers' conference will be held at Tuskegee (Ala.) institute on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 18-19, 1911. Farmers throughout Macon and adjoining counties report an increase in farm products this year far beyond any previous time for several years. This increase has come about largely through a better knowledge of how to till the soil, the selection of seed and how to take advantage of planting time. Many of the former methods of farming have been done away with, and year by year farmers are pursuing more advance methods along all lines of agricultural pursuit. Many of those who cultivate large acreages attribute much of their success to the information received at these annual conferences. For these and many other reasons the 1011 conference should be more largely attended than ever before. Western Editors Will Hold-Fourteenth Annual Convention Nov. 25. The fourteenth annual convention of the Western Negro association will be held in Muskogee, Okla. for two days, beginning on Friday, Nov. 25. The meeting will bring together many of the leading men of the west who have gained distinction in their respective callings. In the call for the convention sent out by President John L. Thompson, Secretary J. D. Bowser and the executive committee public attention is directed to the following topics for consideration: "Realizing that the pen is the most potent power when it is rightly used for the betterment of civilization and the ultimate solution of all social, industrial, economic and political problems of this century, therefore we call upon the editors, correspondents, publishers, journalists and co-workers, book and magazine writers and men and women engaged in the industrial arts allied to newspaper work to meet with us." Addresses, papers and essays will be read on topics pertaining to the real needs of the race in the large cities and in the rural districts. Ten minutes will be given to each speaker in opening discussions. Corresponding Secretary H. R. Graham predicts a large gathering. Baptist Instituctions and Students. Recent reports show that there were in colored Baptist educational institutions during the past year 19,701 students in normal departments, 384 in the college departments, 639 in the theological; Industrial, 3,832; medical, 80; law, 15. There were 824 teachers, and the total number of students, classified and miscellaneous, was 18,044. The Nature of Disfranchisements. Distranchisements are racial, not nortish, says the Indianapolis, ind. Freeman. If parishan in the best sense they would not stand any more show at Washington than a jailbird. They would be shot to pieces. Gentlemen, they are racial-white men versus black men. back men M.

THE AFRO AMERICAN-LEDGER There is in congress a western representative of Celtic origin who has more than once "stirred up the animals" by his propensity to bait the opposition. On one occasion he rose to denounce the statements made in a speech that had been delivered by a member of the other party. His impetuosity led him to phrase his remarks rather strongly. "Order, order!" exclaimed the speaker, pounding with his gavel. Again, in a minute or two, did the son of Erin return to his charge of wilful misstatement. Again was he called to "order." It was a critical moment. His colleagues, for motives of policy, did not wish him to be put out of the debate, so they hinted so by tugging vigorously on his coat tails. Now, it's a very dangerous matter to trifle with the tails of an Irishman's coat, save in the cause of friendship. Nevertheless, the indignant yet good-natured member recognized the command of his party and sat down after delivering this Parthian dart: "I obey the ruling of the house, and I beg to retract what I was about to observe." That one touch of Irish oratory took the whole house by storm—Lippnott's. Stiff neckl Doesn't amount to much, but might disagreeable. You've no idea how quickly a little Hamilins Wizard Oil will lubricate the cords and make you comfortable again. "I am greatly encouraged," said a man today.

"I thought you said this bathing suit was in fast colors," said Binks, indignantly, to the bathing master of whom he had bought his dollar suit that morning. "Yes, that's what I said," returned the bathing master. "Well, every blessed stripe on the blooming thing has come off on my back," retorted Binks. "Ah, but wait until you try to get 'em off your back," smiled the bathing master, suavely. "Then you'll see."-Harrer's Weekly. Back to the Wild. There was a time when all dogs were wild and when what we call wolves were different from other dogs only as a colle now is different from a Newfoundland, for instance. From time to time you will hear of dogs that have returned to the life of their ancestors and have run wild with the wolves of the prairie or of the woods. In the town or Sandy in Oregon a greyhound one night made the acquaintance of a coyote, which is a kind of wolf, and ever since he has lived away from the town, running with the coyotes and approaching human dwelling-places only to steal a hen or two when he has been more than usually hungry. Looking After the Eggs. Lady Betty, who is four years old and never misses a trick, was taken the other evening to a restaurant for her supper, and with all the importance and sprightly dignity of her years calmly ordered poached eggs on toast. While the little family group was awaiting its service the "kiddie" amused herself by looking out of the window, pressing against a screen to get a closer view of something below. She was warned by her mother that the screen might give way and let her fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring her terribly. She drew away, thought a minute, and then said nalely: "Would I fall if the screen went out?" "You certainly would" was her mother reply. "And would I get awful hurted?" "Very likely." "Then what would the man do with the eggs?" MORE THAN EVER Increased Capacity for Mental Labor Since Leaving Off Coffee. Many former coffee drinkers who have mental work to perform, day after day, have found a better capacity and greater endurance by using Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An Illinois woman writes: "I had drank coffee for about twenty years, and finally had what the doctor called 'coffee heart.' I was nervous and extremely despondent; had little mental or physical strength left, had kidney trouble and constipation. "The first noticeable benefit derived from the change from coffee to Postum was the natural action of the kidneys and bowels. In two weeks my heart action was greatly improved and my nerves steady. "Then I became less despondent, and the desire to be active again showed proof of renewed physical and mental strength." "I am steadily gaining in physical strength and brain power. I formerly did mental work and had to give it up on account of coffee, but since using Postum I am doing hard mental labor with less fatigue than ever before." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville, in pigs, 'There's a Reason.' Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They advise, true, and full human heart. PLEA FOR UPLIFT OF YOUNG MEN Much Enthusiasm Aroused at Annual Meeting In Canada. Much Enthusiasm Aroused at Annual Meeting In Canada. DR. - C. T. WALKER SPEAKS. Thousands Attended the Great International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association in Toronto. From the United States and From Foreign Countries. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The thirty-seventh international convention of the Young Men's Christian association of America recently held in Toronto, Canada, was attended by upward of 1500 delegates. The work among Afro-Americans was represented by nineteen delegates against one thirty-five years ago, when the convention was held in Rochester, N. Y. Toronto is a charming city of homes, with a population of 35,000. It is the Mecca for tourists and is nored for its well regulated schools and churches, there being 200 of the latter. It is the great commercial center of Canada. The convention was held in the Massey hall, which has a seating capacity of 5,000. The convention was made welcome to the city by the mayor, and responses were made by foreign delegates. The report of the international committee was made by the president, Dr. L. C. Warner of New York. The progress of the work for the past ten years was interestingly told by Vice President A. E. Morling. Among the principal objects of the convention were to "sound a clear and helpful note concerning the distinctive features of the North American association movement, to discuss some of the present day problems in association work, to emphasize the type of spiritual life and Bible study for which the association movement should stand, to recognize Canadian national spirit in the development of a united international work and to take a forward look." The conservation of life in the rural districts was ably discussed by Dr. J. W. Robertson and the timeliness of the association to meet the needs of Canada by L. A. McDonald, LL.D. Theme for open discussion were leadership larger modern buildings, civic and industrial opportunities, growth of brothery and shared organizations and the safeguarding of the boys of a continent. What was conceded by all present to have been the most timely and well phrased and most forcible addresses delivered by any speaker at the convention was that of the Rev. Dr Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga. The leading papers of Toronto spoke of Dr. Walker and his able address follows: "In an address illuminated with frequent flashes of humor and racy comment Dr. C. T. Walker, a colored delegate, discussed very forcefully Our Dilation to the Colored Man." He became, as the representative of I.P. 300,000 American Negroes who in forty years had reduced their illiteracy by 50 per cent, had put $40,000,000 into church property and $30,000,000 into institutions for educational and intellectual advancement. Practical Christianity was progressive and aggressive and the Y. M. C. A.'s responsibility in regard to the colored people grew out of the fact that all were members of the human family. The doctrine of blood was not evolved, but revealed. Moreover, the Y. M. C. A. had a duty to the colored man because he was an American citizen despite the constitutional amendments. "When the country called for service the Negroes had forgotten the injustices and indignities heaped upon them. The Negroes were essentially a religious people, not given to skepticism, atheism, agnosticism nor trouble with higher criticism. The Negroes were in a state of adjustment, but they had determined to stay in America and help to build a big nation. They were confident of winning the Christ spirit of loving instead of hating. "The Negroes had forty-four city associations, ninety-three student associations, with an enrollment of 12,000 members. There were 2,000,000 Negroes in the cities which were the storm centers. They represented one ninth of the population, and yet they only had thirty-five secretaries, while the white people had 3,000 secretaries. The mission of the association was worldwide, but it could not hope to have the greatest success abroad unless it helped the colored man at home. This obligation could best be discharged by the appointment of more men by larger contributions for the extension of the work and by co-operation with the black people." Bright Outlook for Virginia Seminary Virginia seminary and college. Lynchburg, Va. starts off with a large enrollment of students and a well balanced faculty this term. We are glad to know that this deserving race institution of learning is keeping pace with the demands of the times. President Driggs is the right man in the right place. When all the new improvements at the school are completed it will be one of the best institutions of learning for our people in the south. SOUTH CAROLINA FAIRS. Columbia Exhibition and Owings Turnout Bath Big Successes. State and county fairs seem to be the order of the day in South Carolina during the month of November. The colored state fair, headed by the Rev. Richard Carroll, held for five days in Columbia, closed on the 12th. It was a commendable success. The Mount Carmel colored fair which opened in Owings, S. C., on Thursday, Nov. 17, is being largely attended and gives promise of becoming a fixture in the industrial life of the state. It is being ably conducted by B. T. Saxton as general manager and James T. Bates as secretary. For the past two years the Rev. Mr. Carroll has been laying plans for the permanency of the state fair, which was first held in Columbia, then in Patsburg in 1903. The wisdom of such an organization has been thoroughly justified and Mr. Carroll's courage and ability as an organizer and leader in great industrial movements demonstrated beyond question. CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIES. Robert Schoefield Was Member of Twenty-sixth Volunteer Regiment. Grand Army men and members of the various auxiliaries of posts and Sons of Veterans were out in representative numbers at the funeral of Comrade Robert L. Schoefield, which was held from his late home in Fleet street, Brooklyn, on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 3. Dr. William M. Moss officiated. The remains were in charge of William Lloyd Garrison post, 207, of which the deceased was a member. Mr. Schoefield was also a member of Company M. Twenty-sixth regiment, United States volunteers. He saw service at the front and was honorably discharged in 1865, when his company was mustered on. He had been a member of William Lloyd Garrison post, 207, for the past twenty-seven years.

It is common to floor member, Mr. Johnson or as a mere floor member, Mr. Johnson makes the objects, aims and works of the society a speciality. It has often been remarked by those who know him best that the name of Tom Johnson stands for fraternity, harmony and unity. As a member of the supreme governing board of the Reebucks and the supreme obelus of the order Mr. Johnson has done a beneficial work. Honest, reliable and hospitable, he has won his way into the undisputed confidence of the members. In spreading the merits of the order and in canvassing for new members he is a hard competitor to beat. Mr. Johnson was recently elected grand keeper of records and seals for the New York state grand lodge. Knights of Pythias. He is a prominent member of Arctouris lodge. No. 19. Knights of Pythias of New York city. In his new capacity his friends predict for him a brilliant and successful career. PROGRESS NOTED AMONG CITIZENS OF ST. LOUIS. Movement Started For the Purpose of Erecting Dunbar Hospital. The movement recently started in St. Louis, Mo., having for its object the erection of a hospital which will insure better accommodations for our people. is meeting with success. The circuit court has been petitioned for papers incorporating the Dunbar hospital, which is to be the name of the proposed institution. It is the desire of the projectors of the movement to raise sufficient funds within the next three months to pay for the site and commence the erection of the building. Such an institution will fill a long felt need among our people in St. Louis, and it should not be a difficult matter to secure the necessary money with which to purchase the ground and erect the buildings. The present officers of the movement are: Louis C. Edmondson, president; Bertha B. Cooper, secretary, and Flem McCullah, treasurer; J. S. Dorssey, Henry Stemmons, A. R. Freeman, W. C. Culland, J. A. Thompson, Louis E. Edmondson, Mary Foster, Anna Stevens, Emma Freeman, Nancy J. Layton, Emma C. Johnson, Maude Thompson, Kate Cozzens and Bertha B. Cooper. Will Stand by Republican Party.

Among the spectators at a match between the Blackburn Rovers and the Olympic was a little lad about nine years of age. Though the boy's knowledge of the game may have been limited, his notion of correct play was extremely robust. "Go it, 'Lympic,' he yelled. "Rush 'em off their pins. Clatter 'em. Jump on their chests. Bowl 'em over. Good for yer. Mow 'em down. Scatter 'em, 'Lympic." When his parent neatly "grassed" one of the opposing forwards, the youngster expressed approval by bawling, "Good fyer yer, owd 'en," adding proudly to the spectors, "Feyther 'ad im sweet." "Yes," said a hearer, "but he'll get killed before the game's finished." "I don't care a carrot if he does," said the boy—London Tit-Bits. ALL THERE. Farmer—I dunno; they never took any away from here. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. "My mum advised me to try Culticura Soap and Culticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Culticura Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Culticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Culticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different families and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Culticura Remedies. Mrs Egbert Sheldon, Litchfield, Conn., Oct. 23, 1909." Taking His Meals Out. "And do you take your meals out?" asks the village probe, who is garnering information from the former resident who is home from the city for a few days. "Not until after I have eaten them," wearily responds the unwilling victim—Judge. The Limit. "John, I want to buy some gloves—will you give me a check?" "Sure—how much can you do with?"

There are a good many heroes in novels who couldn't earn a living in real life. A Have you tried? Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? We can furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable cures after all other means had failed. Women who are suffering with some form of female illness should consider this. As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial letters. We guarantee they are genuine and honest statements of facts. Cresson, Pa.—"Five years ago I had a bad fall, and hurt myself inwardly. I was under a doctor's care for nine weeks, and when I stopped I grew worse again. I sent for a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, took it as directed, and now I am a stout, hearty woman."—Mrs. Ella E. Alkey, Cresson, Pa. Baird, Wash.—"A year ago I was slick with kidney and bladder troubles and female weakness. The doctors gave me up. All they could do was to just let me go as easily as possible. I was advised by friends to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier. I am completely cured of my fills, and I am nearly sixty years old."—Mrs. Sarah Leighton, Baird, Wash. Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds of miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not cure, are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Women who are afflicted with similar troubles, after reading two such letters as the above, should be encouraged to try this wonderfully helpful remedy. For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health free of charge.

TRIES TO KIDNAP MINISTER'S DAUGHTER Considerable excitement was caused in the northwest section of the city last Friday by a strange colored man being arrested and charged with an attempted assault on little Gwendolyn Hughes, the six-year old daughter of Kev. Dr. and Mrs. W. A. C. Hughes. The little girl had left her home 507 W. Laavale street and was on her way to the Carey street school. A square from her home, she was accosted by this man, who found out where she was going, and took her by the hand. While passing along Division, near McMechen, Mrs. Whiting, who lives in that neighborhood, espied the little girl and asked her where she was going Little Gwendolyn told her that she was on her way to school and passed on. Mrs. Whiting then went back into her home but on returning to the door a few minutes later she was surprised to see the man coming back with the little one in his arms and crying bitterly. She demanded that the man drop the girl, which he did hurriedly. Mrs Whiting took the child into her home and advised her to go home but as she insisted on going to school, she put her in charge of a little girl and sent her on to school. She then notified Rev. Hughes. The father then went up to the school and found his daughter safe. The man was loitering around the school and on seeing Dr. Hughes, started to run with the minister close at his heels. The man, it is alleged then drew a knife on him. Upon learning that the man's name was Chase, Rev. Hughes went to the Northwestern police Station and reported the facts in the case. A policeman was sent after the man and shortly afterward found the quarry. At the hearing in the afternoon the little girl and Mrs. Whiting positively identified the man. Two charges of alleged assault were lodged against him and he prayed a jury trial and was committed for the action of the Criminal Court.

Just as we were lifting our forms into the wagon to cover them to the press room, Friday last abut 1.30 o'clock, the front page, with most of our out-of-town news matter, fell into the street and had to be taken up with broom and shovel. Our foreman, Mr. Daniel Murphy stood dumfounded for more than a minute and then rushed into the office with his tale of woe. What was to be done? The presses were waiting for the forms, and in a few hours the boys would be rushing in for their papers, and there would be no news and no papers. "It is late but we can do it", said the forman, "Let us set up the front page again." "Too late" said the manager, "Just make up the front page from 'glate matter.'" "Never do in the world," replied the foreman, "we boys can get it up let us try." And so they did. By 5 o'clock a new front page had been set up and was on the press. It was so late that only enough papers could be run off to supply the out-of-town agents. The next morning we tried to rush matters when the belt broke twice with its consequent delay, and so for the first time in ten years we were late getting in the mail. And this is why there were so many persons dispointed last Saturday. We know you will sympatize with us and also forgive the delay. A RECEPTION TO DR. WATKINS. Rev. Jones Watkins, pastor of the Enon Baptist Church, was tendered a reception by his congregation, Thursday evening of last week.

A number of discussions on questions of interest to religious workers took place during the session. In an address on Young People, Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross spoke of the charged ideas regarding young people. He said that the respect the younger people had for the older ones was not as profound as it was years ago and with the changed ideas of living were more likely to pay more attention to the dude than to the quiet young man of modest dress. The following officers were installed by the district' superintendent, Rev. Joseph Gwynn, Miss F. Bond vice president; Mrs. L. Chambers, of Easton, and Mrs. F. E.
