THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XIX NO. 38. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS AND CHAUTAUQUA WILL BE HELD IN MISSISSISSIPPI NEXT MONTH AND WILL BE A BIG GATHERING Henry Allen Boyd Is Working Hard To Make It A Success. An Effort To Help The Young People To A Higher And Better Life.—Dr. Harvey Johnson Knows All About The Origen And Destiny Of Man.—Is An Authority. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Montgomery, Ala., It is only a few days now before we will be called upon to attend the great meeting in Meridian, Miss. The Sunday School Congress and Chauquaytown will meet in Meridian, Miss, June 7, and Secretary Henry Allen Boyd told me that it was going to be the greatest meeting ever held, and from what I could see and hear of it, I am sure it will come up to all he has said or has thought about it. I love Sunday School work, and I am of the opinion that many children have been brought to Christ through the Sunday School and it is hard to tell just how many more will follow through the self-same medium; hence when I see men get together and discuss the best methods of doing the work, I can see nothing but better results in the future, and I am ready to sing, "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow." The highest mission of man in this world is to life man up and make him better. The men of real worth and talent are the men who have been doing this, and I think that I shall make this a study for a little while and give you the results. For instance, this is one of the efforts to lift man up and point him to his God, and it is aimed at the youth. To reach him before he becomes a hardened sinner, and at a temper age let him know more about his God. Now, I learned that man was made in the image of God, hence man is but a mirror through which I see God. So many strong men have made this a study and are prepared to tell you about God and man. Man because of his superior endowments is a representative of heaven. Now I know of no man who is better prepared to talk about man, his origin and his destiny than the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson. I was with him last week, or the week before, in Richmond, Va., and at Baltimore, and I am here to say to you that he just lifed me right up. He told me in a few minutes more than I had ever heard in all the days of my life. We are now all proud of his ability, his work, and what he is doing for the race. May he live long. I have before me right now a little book which he has written, and it is my intention to talk about it in another letter. I find more and more being said on this race question every day, and I am glad that I form a part of a question which is causing so much discussion. I doubt a little bit whether or not it is much of a question, but as I get over this country more and more I find that all it is after all is man with man contending for the mastery. The white man at this time is in authority, and he wants to hold everything in his own hands. Now just to think, at one time he thought he owned this race of ours soul and body. We were his slaves, and many of them got rich dealing in human flesh. When emancipation came they had a good many on hand, and that was a dead loss to them; hence now, after almost fifty years it is still an eyesore in the hands of his sons and daughters and even the old slave holder. Do you remember when it was a crime to teach one of us to read and write? I can remember, and this brings to mind that Sunday will be my birthday anniversary, and how I will celebrate it I am not prepared to say just now, but will let you know later.

HOWARD ALUMNI TO HOLD MEETING The Annual Exercises Will Be Held Under Exceptionaly Favorable (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Of Tuesday, May 50, the General Alumni Association of Howard University will hold its annual reunion exercises under exceptionally favorable circumstances. The entire day will be devoted to the interests and entertainment of the alumni, and is termed Alumni Day. Because of the fact that the exercises occur on a holiday, an unusually large number of old graduates are expected to participate. The business session will be held at 10 a.m. The annual address will be delivered by Dr. Herbert G. Searlook, professor of chemistry in Howard University. After this address the alumni will be the guests of the university at luncheon. The afternoon will be spent in viewing the great athletic meet under the auspices of the Interscholastic Athletic Association. At 8 p.m. the annual alumni dinner will occur. The campus will be illuminated with electric lights and there will be band and orchestral music. Mr. Robert A. Pelkaan, '04, chairman of the committee of arrangements, is prosecuting his tasks with vigor. Professor Kelly Miller, '86, is the association's president. No Choice Yet For The Haytien MirSION Bureau of the Afro-American Ledger, 1004 S Street N. W. Washington, D. C., May 25.—There is no choice as yet for the Haitian Mission, to be vacated in July by Minister H. W. Furniss, of Indiana. The various "booms" have been working overtime this week, but the President gives no intimation as to what he intends to do about the matter. The newest entrant to the race is Mr. William T. Francis, a St. Paul attorney, who has had much experience in railroad litigation, and who is chief clerk of one of the most important divisions of a railroad company in his home city. Mr. Francis is a native of Indianapolis, Ind., but went to Minnesota as a boy thirty-odd years ago. He has the support of Senators Clapp and Nelson and the entire Minnesota delegation in Congress. It is understood that Congressman F. C. Stevens, of the St. Paul District, will push Mr. Francis' claims vigorously, and he expects to carry a delegation of influential Minnesotans to the White House in his interest within the fewest of days. Sewed Up Wound In Heart (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Nashville, Tenn., May 26. — Robert Melver, who was shot in the left auricle of the heart, is recovering after Dr. J. T. Wilson, who attended him, sewed the wound up. Dr. Wilson is one of the best-known colored physicians in the State; conducts a sanitarium, and is one of the instructors at the Meharry Medical College. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1911. DR. WASHINGTON GUEST OF HONOR AT A LUNCHEON TENDERED HIM BY JULIUS ROSENWALD PRESIDENT OF SEARS-ROEBUCK COMPANY Prominet Business Men Professional Men Journalists And Editors Do Honor To The "Wizard" Of Tuskegee.—Dr. Washington Speaks At Banquet Given By The Managers Of The Y. M. C. A. And At Childs' Welfare Exhibit (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Chicago, Ill.; May 20.—Chicago has again been visited this week by that marvelous "Wizard of Tuskegee," Booker T. Washington, who has brought hope and cheer to the Negro citizens of Chicago, whose breasts he has caused to swell with pride because of the special attentions which have been lavished upon him by the most important people in this great city. Thursday, May 18, at 12:30 o'clock p.m., at the Hotel Blackstone, Chicago's newest and finest hotel, he was the guest of honor at a luncheon tendered him by Mr. Julius Rosenwald, president of the Sears-Roebuck Company, one of the largest mail order houses in the world. Mr. Rosenwald came into prominence last January by his offer to give $25,000 to any city willing to raise $75,000 for a Negro Y. M. C. A. building. At the luncheon there were present in addition to Mr. Rosenwald, Victor F. Lawson, editor and proprietor of the Chicago Record-Herald; Joseph Medill McCormick, editor and proprietor of the Chicago Tribune; James Patten, the "Wheat King," and half a dozen Chicago bankers, besides 16 others — 26 in all — of the most prominent business and professional men of the Western metropolis. At night, Dr. Washington spoke at a banquet given by mangers of the Y. M. C. A. at the Auditorium Hotel, and on Friday evening at the Child's Welfare Exhibit meeting held in the immense Coliseum, where the Republican National Convention was held three years ago. On each of these occasions Dr. Washington was accorded a most enthusiastic and flattering reception. Home For Aged And (Special to The Afro-American League), Washington, D. C., May 25.—There is now in the United States Treasury about $300,000 representing pay, bounties and prizes of colored men who were in the Civil War, and who have died, leaving this money due them unclaimed. It was turned over to the Treasury many years ago, after the Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau found it impossible to locate the claimants or to find anybody to whom it could be legally paid. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, is about to offer a bill in Congress to appropriate this fund for the purpose of erecting in the District a home for aged and infirm colored people. The movement has the approval of some very influential colored citizens, and it will doubtless succeed if the country at large appears to demand it. This is a separate matter from the bill, to reimburse the depositors of the Freedmen's Bank, although Senator Curtis is interested in both measures. Dr. Lyon Talks To Students (Special to The Afro-American Ledger). Dover, Del., May 26.—Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church, Baltimore, and Consul-General of Liberia at Washington, delivered the address to the graduates of the Dover State College, here, today at noon. It was a masterly effort. It is the custom of the board of directors to have two gentlemen to address the students, one white and one colored. The white speaker on this occasion was the Hon. Henry C. Conrad, Associate Judge of the State of Delaware. THE NEED OF THE RACE IS STRONG MEN GRAND LODGE OF THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF PROTECTION HOLDS ANNUAL SESSION Organized Only Four Years Ago And Now Has Over Five Thousand Members.—Is Doing A Good Work For The Race In Alabama.—The Black Woman Fills An Importat Place In The Uplift Of The Race And Must Be Recognized. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Montgomery, Ala., May 23. — The Grand Lodge of the Sons and Daughters of Protection opened here yesterday and is attended by 500 delegates from all parts of the State and a large delegation from Georgia is also present. The Order is one of the important factors at work in Alabama for the development of the Negro in this section of the country. It was organized by Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, of Birmingham, who is regarded as one of the most remarkable women of the race. Four years ago it evolved from her fertile brain, and it now has a membership of 5,000 and continues to grow. "This is a great age," declared Mrs. Tuggle in her opening address, and I am glad that I live in it. This is an age where every man can do something. The good things of this life come by struggle, and we are fast learning that if we would have the ood things in life we must not continue on our knees asking the Lord to send us after them, but observe the rules of health, pray God for both health and strength, and then you go after the good things. This is the only way and the true way. "The men of our race must join the women in lifting up our people. The black woman fills an important place in this country. She must not only educate her children, build churches and cottages, send the gospel to foreign lands, but often she has to support a good-for-nothing husband, and all she gets in return is abuse and often a clubbing. The need of our race is strong men." Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was introduced and delivered a strong address. Charles Stewart, of Chicago, agent for the Associated Press, delivered an educational address. The Order contributes largely to the support of Tuggle Institute, Birmingham. Dr. Washington To Prosecute Ulrich (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) New York, May 25.—That Dr. Booker T. Washington intends to prosecute Albert Ulrich, the white man who is alleged to have assaulted him some weeks ago, is asserted by some who are close friends of the noted educator. Wilford H. Smith, Mr. Washington's attorney, it is said, is only waiting for the case to be called in court, when he will push the charge. Ulrich is out on bail. Pastors Exchange Pulpits (Suspect to the Afro-American Ledger.) Snow Hill, May 24.—Rev. E. J. Henry, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Ch., went to Berlin last Sunday to preach the thanksgiving sermon for the Odd Fellows. Rev. Payne, pastor of Box Iron Church, filled the pulpit at night. Misses Maggie Henry and Leah Smach of Berlin were the guests of Miss Lillie B. Purnell last week. Mr. William Johnson was buried from his late home at Mt. Wesley Saturday, May 20. Misses Susie Holland and Florence Jackson went to Berlin, Md., last week to visit friends. Mrs Lillie Brittinghar is home from Laurel, Del. Mrs. Ellen Williams visited Girdletree last Tuesday. PRICE THREE CENTS [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. BISHOP TURNER DELIVERS ADDRESS (Special to The Afro-American Ledger). Jackson, Miss., May 25. — With the termin before the school of theology on Sunday by Rev. L. James Johnson, of Memphis, Tenn., the baccalaureate sermon by Dr. M. M.

Campbell Circle held its regular monthly meeting at the residence of Mrs. U. S. Edwards, 309 A street northeast, last Thursday. The attendance was large and the reports helpful and encouraging. Among the important subjects discussed was "The proper training and education of young children and the protection of young girls coming to the city seeking employment." The Circle does not agree with President Taft in his remarks that the great need of the colored people is "Education for blacksmithing, farming, and other labor." At the close of business refreshments were served and the next meeting will be held next month at the residence of Mrs. C. H. Young, at which time election of officers will take place. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) New York, May 24.—Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York City, has been elected to membership in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This action was taken last week. The officers of the Metropolitan Museum of Art are: J. Piermont Morgan, president; Joseph A. Choate, vice president, and Robert W. De Forest, who manages the Sage Foundation. Receives Another Honor OVER THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS RAISED DURING THE YEAR FOR MISSIONS Bishop C. T. Shaffer Presides Over Missionary Board Meeting—Secretary of Missions, Dr. W. W. Beckett Makes A Very Encouraging Report Of Work Done and Prospects For The Future.—Mrs. F. M. Handy Present. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) New York, May 26.—The work that the African Methodist Church is doing for foreign and domestic missions and plans for furthering this work were discussed here Wednesday and yesterday at the annual meeting of the Board of the Home and Foreign Mission Department. In submitting, his third annual report of the board, Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, secretary of missions, referred at length to the work that his department is doing, besides stating that $35,000 had been raised for the work through various channels last year, half of which came through the Easter Day collections. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, of Chicago, presided. Besides making appropriations for the maintenance of the work in Bermuda Haytid, British Guiana, Nova Scotia, the Canadian Northwest and West and South Africa, the board passed a resolution requiring all auxiliaries to present the proper vouchers for money expended directly by them. Mr. R. R. Wright, manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, Philadelphia Mrs. Mary F. Handy, of Baltimore, president of the Women's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, and Rev. A. L. Murray, of Atlantic City were among the visitors introduced. Mrs. Handy spoke of the work that her society is doing for home and foreign missions, and agreed that the society would send to the department voucher for all money expended for home and foreign missions. Rev. F. Jesse Peck, of Los Angeles, Calmade a plea for help for the work of the denomination in California, declaring that the large influx of the race that section was driving the Mongolian out of certain occupations. "A little help," he said, "will enable us to do a great and needed work on there. You have no idea of the great numbers of our people who are coming to California from the South, and man of the whites give them preference. Employment over the Japanese and Chinese. Now is the time for our church to make an effort to prepare adequate to meet these conditions." It was voted to pay the wife of Rep. A. Luckie, of British Guiana, $1,100 which she loaned for the erection of $7,000 church there and to assume a deed of $500, provided the property was deed to the denomination. The board apportioned $50,000 to raised for mission purposes by the various annual Conferences during the new year.

The Spaniards swarmed out the other sido in haste. Capt. Louis Olfaro of the Royal Twenty-ninth Infantry was the last to leave. Before he had re- treated far he found himself engaged in a saber duel with an American who pursued. The American wore the yellow cord of the cavalry, and his hat was pinned upon one side. He swung bis huge eaber with flerceness and skill. Captain O¥aro, a swordsman of note in old Madrid, was hard put to it to defend himself. ‘The Spaniard took heart of grace when be saw that the odds had’ turned. Tho other Americans had stopped at the.trenches, a hundred yards.in rear of the duel.

Then, with ‘a cruel smile, he prepared to kill at hig lelsure. But the American was not ready to die. The gtazing bullet and the sinh simply spurred him to renewed efforla, He leaped st the.

Tt was bright moonlight, and two o'clock In the morning. ‘The traltor- ous maid had left the front door un: barred. The overseer,, his macheto ‘neross his knees, a revolver on his hip, sat in the gloom of the old stone house. ‘The planter, for whom ho was walt: ing, came. He swaggerod up the palm walk, secure In the feeling that tho American senorita was unguarded. ‘The plantation workmen were snor’ Ing In thelr Kennels halt a mile away; the overseer was also asleep in his quarters. And ten of the planter’s own men waited by the road. Twenty paces from the houso, In the center of an open space where the white moon beat down, he stopped. A figuro. with o naked machete ad! vanced to meet him. ‘The planter’s own weapon leaped out as he hissed curses. Ho recog- nized the overseer. ‘At the clash of blade on blade the planter’s bullies came running from tho fringe of the palms. \With a laugh tho American pressed his attack until his adversary ‘gave ground. He heard the patter of feet and saw the ad- vancing wave of his enemies. ‘Tho cave man who overcame hig enemies with a stone ax awoke in tho American. He shouted aloud in sheer delight of the conflict. “Yow-yow-yow, Wheo-eeee!” At the high-pitched yell the plan‘ ter's thoughts fled back to the sceng of twelve years before on San Juan hill. Again he was Capt, Luis Olfaro, of tho Royal Twenty-ninth infantry;, again he was crossing blades beneath tho flerco sunlight with an American. No wonder he bed bated the overseer Instinctively—tt was the same man. In his fright: and amazement be lowered his guard for the fraction of a second, and the American's machete lafd open bis cheek from nose to ear. Blood streamed down his face. He ‘wevered, retreated, turned. And then, in sudden mad panic, he threw away his machete and fled, his bullies about him. “Wheeeeee! roared the victor. “Run, you piker; run!” A-hand was Ind on bis arm, He turned to look into the face of hie fatr countrywoman, “And now, Mr. Jobn Harria Burnham, third,” she said; calmly, albeit with a lttle tremble in her volce, “perhaps you will finish that litle conversation we began on the stairs?" “But,, Doris,” he remonstrated, “I'm thirty-three now, end broke, besides.” “I don't care if you were a hun- dred," she finshed; “and 1 have money enough for, us doth.” | So-be dropped his machete and took | her In his arms. ea eae TE oe ee Salary of the President is $3,600 a Year—Some Officials Receive 20 Cents a Day.

B, TAYLOR TROPHY FOR SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP—SENIORS AT HIGH SCHOOL ARE INTER-CLASS CHAMPIONS. The Greatest Event In The History of Athletics in This City—Wade Goes 100 Yards In Ten Seconds Flat—Scott Clears Over Five Feet In High Jump—Rooters From Every School In The City Wild With Excitement—Boley Wins Cross Country Race—Jones A Close Second. At 12 o'clock long lines of Athletes and spectators began to file into Cliton Park gate, and before they ceased coming more than four hundred athletes representing 12 or 15 different schools or clubs were there. It was indeed a stupendous undertaking to pull off a meet with 400 schools boys, 95% of whom had never seen an athletic meet. The spectators kept piling in until almost 3000 lined the park, and completely blocked the course. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, old, young, madly, partisan and indifferent slowly gathered until the whole athletic field was one seething mass of humanity. Blue banners, red banners, green banners and black banners, with large numerals, fluttered in the breeze, while hundreds of arm bands told of the intense partisanism of a score of organizations bursting with enthusiasm. The rival schools are each assigned a place on the field for its contestants, and pretty soon 400 athletes file out, enter the track in close order with scarcely more than standing room, and each group following a large banner with the number of its school. They trot around the track as best they can, and all go back to place. Now the great battle for supremacy is on. Thirty seven trial heats of light weights are being run off in one part of the field, while the jumps in equally large numbers are taking place in another part. The crowd is almost mad with excitement, and the yells and cheering for the different contestants is dealingen. The track is literally choked after every heat, and the winner is raised on the shoulders of his school followers and carried back to the place of his school. One school is ahead on points and they shoulder their athletes, and with banners flying, cow bells ringing and with songs and cheers, they stop the whole proceedings, while Rev. J. S. Jackson For Zion Bishopric. Seven conferences of the A. M. E. Zion connection in session at Birmingham, Ala., recently indorsed for the bishopric of that church Rev. J. S.

Distinct traces of light have been detected at the great depth of 500 fathoms below the ocean surface by Sir John Murray's oceano-graphical expedition of 1910. More recently, brightly colored organisms have been dredged up from an even greater depth, in the form of rose foraminifers with rose pink shells. Small Capital for Matrimony.

Paris has 115 inhabitants to the acre, while London has only 51. they parade from one part of the field to another. Good time is made by boy after boy as they tear through the long lane to the finish of the 50, the 70, the 100, or the 220 dash. In the elementary school boys' close to record time is again and again recorded, but the badge of inexperience again and again closes the door to excellence as the boy looks to see where his competitors are. Perhaps one of the most remarkable things of the whole affair was the game spirit with which the losing schools fought. Nothing deserves greater commendation. The games committee has not had time to make out the standing of the schools and classes, but it is generally understood that school 116 has won the championship in the elementary schools. The senior class of the High School is believed to be the interclass champions. They also had the champion rslay team. School 116 Fortunate If School 116 won the championship and also the heavy weight relay, in so doing they have bagged two of the nicest trophies in the League. The Afro-American Trophy for the championship heavy weight relay and the E. B. Taylor Trophy for the school championship are the two choicest things of the League. In the way of jumping considerably more than 5 ft. was cleared by Scott of the High School, and Moore and others of the Dunbar came close to 5 feet. Wade of the High School ran the 100 yd. dash in 10 seconds flat. This is indeed remarkable when we remember the lack of training he has suffered, and that ten seconds was for a long time the world's record. Big things are coming off when these trophies are awarded. Everybody will be there, so don't miss the fun. The prizes and trophies of the Baltimore Athletic League will be awarded at the Metropolitan Hall Monday night, May 29, instead of No Hard and Fast Rules to Gulde the Artist Mechanic. Violins are the most delicate and uncertain of musical instruments to make. There are no hard and fast rules to follow. It is like making a human voice. The quality differs according to the wood, the seasoning and the construction of the few parts in it. The violin contains the fewest parts of any musical instrument invented, and it seems like the simplest of them all to make. But, alas, it defies the expert, the practical mechanic and the musician! Anybody can make a violin, but few can make a good one. So, with the exception of comparatively few factory violins, most of them are produced by individual instrument makers, who spend more loving care over them than a mother does over her first child. A violin maker is an artist mechanic, a sort of anomaly in this age of machinery. With a pot of glue, a few sharp tools, a cabinetmaker's bench and a few sticks of wood he will labor diligently in the creation of an instrument that may give forth the sweetest, the wildest, the weirdest and the strangest musical notes. He will glue his instrument together and then take it apart twenty times to adjust, the fraction of an inch, the boss bar or the sounding post. A creator of a violin may spend weeks on a single instrument and then find, to his disgust, that it does not satisfy. The exact point where the sounding post—stick of wood only a little larger than a match—should be placed can never be determined in advance. It is a mystery that ever occurs in each new violin. Then the wood is of so much importance to the violin maker—none of your fresh timber nor kiln dried stuff! It must be seasoned by years, even by decades and centuries. Every time a century old house is demolished some musical maker is likely to appear on the scene and make a quiet bkl for some of the thin old inters. To the novice they may seem worthless, but the violin maker may find in this century old timber just the wood for his beloved instruments.—Chicago Record-Herald. THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER Friday night, May 26, as was announced in last week's issue. A general meeting of all the members of the League is called for Saturday 5 p. m., May 27, at Y. M. C. A. Boley Wins Cross Country. Shortly after 10.30, the starter's pistol flashed the signal for 13 contestants to dash for the tape three miles away. At the flash of the pistol, Thos. Jones bounded into the lead at what seemed a terrific pace for such a distance. The men were well spread over the whole width of the street for some distance. Then the mass is steadily drawn out into a long string with Thos. Jones first. Jas. A. Davis holds second and allows no one to dispute it with him while the others are stretching longer and yet longer as the ead crawls nearer to each struggling athlete. Some distance farther up the road and Boley overbauled Jones and proceeds to set a killing pace for the group. He gains and steadily raises his lead until his margin is a great one. All the while his stride and that of Davis are going with the smoothness of a well oiled machine. The machine carrying the timers and starters, stops at the Druid Hill gate to the park, and immediately on looking back, they see the runners approaching. Every door, every window on Druid Hill avenue was filled with people watching them come in. The street corners are crowded and as they approach the finish, the crowd grows trantic with yelling and cheers. Boley, with the same easy stride throughout the course, breasted the tape in 20 minutes and 2-5 seconds from the flash of the pistol for the start, Jones came second, running with the same bull dog determination that characterized him through the course. J. A. Davis finished third, with Mason fourth. Out of the 13 starters, all finished, and all except 2 or 3, were unusually fresh for such a run considering the heat. CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY By A. W. Macy. * CHARLES II AND HIS DOG. Charles II, King of England, was a great lover of dogs, and always kept several of them about him as pets. On one occasion he was quite distracted by the disappearance of one of his favorites. An advertisement prepared by one of his servants was posted, but it did not have the desired effect. So Charles trled his hand, with this result: "We must call upon you again for a Black Dog between a Greyhound and a Spaniel, no white about him only a streak on his Brest and his Tayel a little bobbed. It is His Majesty's own Dog, and doubtless was stoln, for the Dog was not born nor bred in England, and would never forsake his Master. Whoseover finds him may acquaint any at Whitehal, for the Dog was beter known at Court than those who stole him. Will they never leave robbing His Majesty? Must he not keep a Dog? This Dog's place though better than some imagine, is the only place which nobody offer to beg." Then He Sat Down. A visitor to a village school said to the children "I want to tell you of a boy I once knew. He had a good father and mother, and they did all that lay in their power to make him happy. But the boy was thoughtless and selfish; he frittered away his time and never thought of the future. Today, instead of filling an honorable and useful position in life, where do you suppose he stands, children, as a man?" "He stands before us!" shouted the boys and girls in unison. POULTRY SOME POINTS ON INCUBATOR Beginner Will. Be Greatly Aided In Management of Machine by Observing Rules Given Herewith. The following points in the management of an incubator may be helpful to the beginner: Set the machine perfectly level to insure perfect, ventilation and efficient working of all the heating apparatus. Do not place the working machine in a north or west room, if possible. A south or east room is preferred. The incubator should be in a room where there is fire at no time or fire at all times. In a cold room the eggs must be aired when the temperature is above 60 degrees or chilling will result. Fresh air and some moisture are necessary for successful incubation, and these are supplied by the ventilated device of every incubator. Incubator doors should be made of double glass and fit neatly to avoid loss of heat. A machine of from 50 to 120 egg capacity is about right for the beginner. It is large enough for practical purposes and not so large as to cause confusion. Avoid excess of temperature and absence of moisture in the room in which the incubator is located. Fill and trim the lamp daily and use a wick of sufficient width so that a low blaze will produce the necessary heat. Let one person only attend to the incubator and give it attention at least twice each day. Keep the lamp burner and bowl free from oil and other foreign matter. Eggs are overheated at 110 degrees, but it will take ten to twenty-four hours to kill them, according to how near the hatching point they are. Eggs can be considered chilled when the heat falls to 50 degrees or below. They will still hatch, however, if not kept cold too long—say not over twenty-four hours—but it always hurts them more or less, and it is best never to let them cool below 70 degrees under any circumstances. Investigation shows that the sitting hen imparts a temperature to the eggs varying from 110 degrees at the outside of the nest to 105 degrees in the center, the average temperature being 103 degrees, hence 103 degrees is the temperature at which an incubator should be run. Many of our choicest market fowls, as well as show prize winners, were incubator hatched, which disproves the notion that artificial incubation produces weak chicks. Turn the eggs daily, yet it is not absolutely necessary to turn them all exactly alike. The attachment which gives a warning signal when the temperature runs beyond the danger limit is a good device and relieves one of much care. When the chicks are nearly ready to hatch the inside temperature of the machine will rise and the heating apparatus must be regulated, as less heat is needed then than at the beginning of incubation. Give attention to details, learn the workings of your machine, and don't worry. Let the machine do the work. Let the chicks stay in the incubator without food from twenty-four to forty-eight hours after they are hatched.

BALTIMORE, MAY 27, 1911 Mr. West and his segregation law seems to have fallen very flat, perhaps it was just a little over done, which as one knows in cooking is worse than underdone. It looks very much like this is to be the real thing in the way of a democratic city government. From all appearances Mr. Preston does not intend to put any but democrats on guard The managers of the athletic meet which took place last Saturday deserves a great deal of praise for the interest they manifested and the work they did to make it a success. All of which goes to show that we can do what other folks do if we will only go the right way about it. We congratulate you gentlemen. The opera bouffe which has been holding the boards at the court house and of which his excellence the governor of the state has been filling the leading role for these meny moons, has been finally withdrawn. The public is no doubt pleased as it has or will have to pay for the performance whether it was a good or bad one. What a good time the Negro baiers of this country are having In one place they lynch a Negro preacher and in another place they try to dynamite the home of a Negro teacher and in another place they lynch three at a time. When this kind of amusement palls on them they take a Negro into a theatre and string him up and charge so much a shot for the audience to have a little sport. The higher up you sit in the theatre the less it costs you to shoot. And then, not a single minister of the gospel or a single newspaper, North or South has a word to say about it save to give as little space in the news columns as possible about it. It creats less excitement than a dog or chick-fight. As a matter of news it is hardly worth anything lynch, shoot or burn a Negro. The price to be paid for all this in the future will be something great. Negro slavery cost was tremendous, this will be equally so. Sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind. HIGH SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS Once upon a time, there was unusual interest displayed by thecold clergy of the city on behalf of school accommodations. In fact, it is owing to such enthusiastic concern that the unarvulous changes have been wrought therein during the past twenty years. If there be a seeming lack of interest on their part, it is because the union and touch upon the part of our teachers with the clergy are not as close and sincere as in the days of old. Then, the young men and women of the race were eager for employment, and they constantly besieged and stirred up the interests of their several pastors. But with the increase in our teaching force, and the practical acknowledgement that colored teachers must be employed in colored schools there has been a waning of the close and zealous cooperation, which once so helpfully obtained. When the late Dr. Staley had charge of the high school, being an experienced and eminently practical man he fully appreciated the diplomacy of systematically cultivating the good-will of the pastors of all the colored churches. He made it a point at the annual commencement to have them all present and occupy seats on the stage. But we should be exceedingly patient and for bearing with our own, for experience has not been sufficient, to impress upon them the great power and value of "diplomacy." But the exigencies which confront us, at present, with respect to the anything else than satisfactory accommodations of the High School, requisite to the needs of our children, should dispose us all to arouse in us some of that old time enthusiasm, and by mutual cooperation, labor for improvement of the very unsatisfactory condition of affairs. In the first place, there should be a separation of the sexes. It does not obtain among the whites, that is, co-education in high schools and certainly, there is no special reason why there should be discrimination on behalf of colored children. So long as it is not convenient to for young ladies of dark complexion to attend either the Eastern or Western high schools, there should be ample and sufficient provision made for young colored ladies as obtain in these two institutions, which are confined to the white race. If our girls are more backward, in things generally, than their white sisters, it is so much the more necessary that they have at least equal accommodation and facilities, so that their progress may not be backward instead of forward. And what we note with respect to the girls we also affirm with respect to the boys. They are not at all anxious to mix with the young men who attend the Baltimore City College, but it is not at all too much for us to ask that the Negro boys have the same accommodations and facilities, without the presence of the females, just as obtain in the institution confined exclusively for white young men. Of course, o.e. of the difficulties which will be promptly advanced is the cost for the maintenance of such separate institutions. But such a question is hardly worthy of consideration when compared with the one of justice and equity. It is not thought to the best advantage of either race, that the two should be instructed together in the same schools. The colored people offer no objection to such a conclusion; but the conclusion would indicate that the money thus expended for such a dual system of education would be so distributed that neither one of the divisions would suffer in point of efficiency and provision by reason of the conditions which demand the dual instead of the one system. But there is a moral responsibility in this matter which our white friends must realize, which places upon them a peculiar burden in vindicating the absolute rectitude of their dealings with their colored friends. And that is this: Since in the administration of such affairs all representation from a people constituting nearly one-sixth of our population is entirely excluded and, when it is remembered that this portion of the population which has no representation upon the Board of Education, have idiosyncracies, habits, and conditions, peculiar to themselves, then, such a Board will not welcome light and help from within the race, are much more obligated to fail not in exact justice to those who are absolutely within their power. We would dare suggest that the present high school building, on Pennsylvania avenue, be retained as a "Baltimore City College" No. 2, for Afro-American boys; and the building now utilized as a practice school for the whites, on Park avenue and Hoffman street, be fitted up adequately for its purpose, and and turned over to be used as a Female High School for Afro-Americans. Or possibly, the profound discernment of our Board, with respect to the present needs of the race, may devise even something better. At any rate, the miserable accommodations meted out to us in this respect should pathetically appeal to the members of the School Board, especially, when they remember, that we bear our "disfranchisement" from the Board with a feeling that by reason of it the consciences of honest and honorable men will not allow them to THE AFRO=AMERICAN-LEDGER run the risk of being unjust to the most helpless citizens of the community they serve. IN HONOR OF The Passing of Col. Higgenson The death recently of Thomas Wentworth Higginson removes another of the all-too-few friends of the race. Born in Massachusetts SS years ago, Mr. Higginson was educated at Harvard University and entered the Unitarian ministry He early Became one of the pronounced advocates of the abolition of slavery and commanded the first colored regiment during the Civil War. Coupled with his advocacy of the anti-slavery cause and the pleading for those rights for the race that other classes of Americans enjoy, was his outspoken stand for the suffrage of women. A scholar and a writer, Colonel Higginson's humane side can be best judged from his autobiography "Cheerful Yesterdays," in which he mentions the early efforts of the abolitionists in behalf of fugitive slaves and their activities for the extinction of slavery. An Open Letter to Rev. S. H. Norwood, pastor of St. Paul M. E. Church, Saratoga street, near Carey, has written a letter to Bishop Earl Cranston, of the M. E. Church, in which the prelate is taken to task for being apparently in sympathy with the M. E. Church South in the agitation for colored people severing their organic relations with the M. E. Church. The letter reads in part: You are in consultation with our enemies. You are tampering with the constitutional rights of a part of the membership of your church in the dark. You are representing that class without their consent, request or appointment. You are taking advantage of the weak, which is a cowardly act. The movement, with you, as a figure-head, is increasing race prejudice, race hatred and race friction to a greater degree than your preaching will bring peace. You white Methodists should take lessons from the Roman Catholics in dealing with the race question as you have taken lessons from them on many other subjects. The idea of a Bishop being on a commission planning to get rid of his own members is a funny thing to an humble member. I just feel that you are out of your place. Daniel Webster said, "I take no steps backward", when the fugitive slave bill was passed, but he did go backward. Lincoln said, "The Union first and then freedom", but right said freedom first, then the Union. He ended the the letter by saying he was satished with his allegiance with the M. E. Church and that colored members of the denomination should protest publicly against the prelate's supposed allegiance with those who would drive the race out of the denomination. Reception to Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Shaw. Under the auspices of the Temple Circle Ladies Aid, Dr. and Mrs. Shaw were given a reception last Monday night at Centennial M. E. Church. Splendid Music was furnished by a large chorus of Sunday School children, under the direction of Mrs. Briscoe and Mr. Chester-Miss Clara Stanley also sang a solo. Rev. D. D. Turpeau, as representative of the Baltimore M. E Preachers' Meeting, made a fine address, which was warmly received. A number of addresses were made by persons representing the various church departments. At eleven o'clock the guests sat down to a choice and elegant supper, and at one o'clock they walked out under the stars, full and happy, with pleasant memories of the occasion. The tides are on at Centennial and pastor and people are happy. The Women's Day Bally, under the leadership of Mrs. Helen A. Cooper, resulted in the neat sum of $32500. Tendered a Surprise A number of members of the Ladies Missionary Society of the Macedonia Baptist Church, led by Miss Maggie Brown, tendered Mrs. D.G. Mack, of 2133 Druid Hill avenue, a very pretty surprise party. A well filled purse of vacation money was presented. Those who composed the Jolly party were: Mesdames Ella Parks, Fannie Lewis, Mary Dorsey, Kate Lonesome, Saran Pettis, Bettie Scott, Annie Wallace, Emma Gant, Mary Brooks, Emma Braxton, Julia Matthews, Grace Lewis, Lettie Slaughter, Agnes Mason, Maggie Maitland, Martha Green, Carrie Reid, Julia Pollard. Misses Maggie Brown, Jennie Taylor, Martha Robinson, Susan Murray, Malinda Edwards, Mary Stephens, Onnie Murray, Gertrude Ford, Otelia Forest, Ruth Scott. Messrs. Sandy Moody, Frank Coles, and Brown. A datty collation ended the very pleasant evening. IN HONOR OF BISHOP HOOD Zion African Methodists Will Raise Large Fund For Schools And Missions Salisbury, N. C., May 25.—The various A. M. E. Zion Conferences throughout the country will take up a thank-offering tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday, in honor of the eighteenth birthday anniversary of Bishop J. W. Hood, which occurs Decoration Day. The amount to be raised is placed at $24,000, onehalf will be devoted to the educational work of the denomination and the remainder to missions. The prelate was born in Chester county, Pa., in 1830. He was licensed to preach in 1856, and six years later was ordained an elder. He was one of the pioneers in the religious work among the race in the South. He was elevated to the bishopric in 1872, and enjoys the distinction of being the oldest Methodist prelate in the world. Bishop Hood is one of the foremost figures in his church and has been president of the board of trustees of Livingstone College since its inception. He sustained a stroke of paralysis several years ago, but is able to conduct his Conferences. He is the author of several books, including a history of his denomination. The prelate has been thrice married and lives at Fayetteville, N. C. Col. Midnight on (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Wilberforce, Ohio, May 23 — Prof. Charles Stewart, better known as "Col. J. O. Midnight," the well-known newspaper correspondent, lectured on "Uncle Ned and His Son" before a large audience in Galloway Hall, Monday night of last week. Professor Stewart has appeared before the citizens and student body several times, but the lecture delivered on this occasion has surpassed all his previous efforts. As he related the pathetic story of "Uncle Ned" during the early period of the arrival of the first Negro in this country, and through slavery, brought tears to the eyes of the people, and then by his humorous stories he moved them from a state of sadness to that of laughter. The manner in which Professor Stewart swares his audience has made him the greatest Negro humorist lecturer in America. At the conclusion of the lecture, President Scarborough, by the assistance of the teachers of Wilberforce University, tendered Professor Stewart a reception in the parloors of Arnett Hall. Odd Fellows Jubilant (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Atlanta, Ga., May 25. — Odd Fellows throughout Georgia are jubilant over the success of large proportion of the $50,000 voluntary offering of the members of the Order moved the $100,000 necessary to erect a handsome six-story Stacy headquarters of the Order in this city Dincs At New Williard (Special to The Afro-American Ledger) Washington, D. C., May 25.—Dr. Lyon will dine at the New Willard Hotel with the members and delegates of the International Union for the Protection of Industrial Property. He represents the Liberian government at the meeting of the Union. A Trip To Africa (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Pittsburgh, May 25.—One of the special features of the National Baptist Convention which meets here in September, will be a trip to Africa by moving pictures. One hour each day will be devoted to a "Missionary Workers' School of Methods," conducted by experts in mission work. K. Of P. Helps The Church Chestertown, Md. May 24.—There are great signs of race development here. These signs have been called forth by the way the citizens in general regardless of denomination are assisting the officers and members of Bethel Church in the greciot not their new church building. Last week the Local Order K. of P. presented to the church, unsolicited, a neat sum, to be applied to the building fund. Mesdames Hoeland, Johnson and Miller have returned from the missionary convention at Chester, Pa., and report having had an interesting session. Mrs. Mary Moore, Mary Johnson and Maggie Commile are on the sick list, while Mrs. Lizzie Johnson is convalescing. Grand Army Attends Church (Special to The Airo-American Ledger). Easton, MD, May 24—Rev. S. H. Cooper preached the annual sermon to the G. A. R. Post here Sunday afternoon. The Helping Hand Circle gave a porch party at the parsonage of Bethel A. M. E. Church last week. Mr. Hugh Parson is at the Emergency Hospital, where he will undergo an operation. Mr. James Petersoh is home from the Johns Hopkins Hospital, much improved. Mr. James Stewart, of Salisburry, is spending a few days in this city. Mr. Charles Davis has gone to Atlantic City. Mrs. Florence Richardson spent a few days in Cambridge last week. When you take Dr. Johnson, see who he is and for what he stands, and then remember that at one time he was a boy at the time when our boys had little to inspire them. A boy at a time when you could not see Negro doctors, lawyers, bankers, business men, editors and the like, but all you could see was the boy who was considered a smart boy because he obeyed the white man, and was good to his master. Then it was said by those in authority, "What Negro hath not done, Negro cannot do." But out of this evolved one of the greatest men of the age, regardless of race or color. Dr. Johnson is a colored man, and there is no mistake about it. Now I would like to say something that would inspire our boys and girls to higher things in life. When I was in the office a few days ago and noted the boys and girls of our race handling the Afro-American Ledger, I could but see for them a bright future, and I am going to make a special write-up of the hustlers of the Afro-American Ledger when I come that way the next time. Almost every avenue which leads to destruction is opened to our boys and girls, but the things which lead to the higher things are closed. But you will not have time to read all I have in mind on this subject this week. I just want to talk to you about this black man, and I am acquainted with him. Well, you will recall, where I left off when I was writing to you last week. I had been to Wilberforce University, and from there I went to Paris, Ky. At this point I want to express my thanks to Prof. and Mrs. Lankford. But now about Paris. I had the pleasure of meeting the people there and talking with them, and from there I went to Lexington. You see, this is one of the most important places in the world for my people. It is here that J. C. Jackson, the successful business man, lives, and W. H. Ballard, and I was delighted to find young Stephens, from Columbus, doing a drug business, and in addition to this I found many others. They are just the cards. Rev. L. N. Cheek is pastor of the Baptist Church, and I am here to tell you that he is doing a good work in the Main Street Baptist Church. If you will remember Rev. Cheek served as missionary in Africa for seven years, and while there he married a native African, and it is indeed interesting to hear them talk in the African language. They have little African children born to them, and they are now striving to educate them for usefulness. Long may he live to accomplish all he has in mind to accomplish. Now, leaving Rev. Cheek, I was soon in another part of the city looking around. Visited the two drug stores, and then went to the Main Street Baptist Church and made a few remarks. Frankfort was the next point. Dr. E. E. Underwood understood that I was coming, because he had arranged for me to speak at the State Normal School, and he met me or had in mind to meet me, but I reached there on an earlier train, hence I had to meet myself and take my things right on to the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. Wilson, cousins to Charles Stewart. Well, I had an enjoyable bime. In the evening, Dr. Underwood met me up on the hill where I was to talk, but when I referred, to some of my experiences while in Europe, President Hathaway booked at some of his students with a disgusting smile, and I heard him say to B. D. Madison, "Has he really been to Europe?" I am not going to comment on this because it is too personal. I then spent a few hours in Louisville at the home of W. H. Steward, and visited the State University, where they were holding their farewell meeting. I join with them in the farewell part, and then pulled out for another part of the civilized world. Nashville was my next point, and I spent there a few hours with Rev. Henry Allen Boyd talking about the Chautauqua. Next found me in Birmingham, where I spent last Sunday. I am now in the capital city, and this is all I shall say to you this week, but you may expect to hear from me again. Rev. P. W. Walls is in Birmingham, pastor of St. John, and he is doing a great work. I will tell you more about him in another letter. But it was in Birmingham that a little two-by-four preacher attempted to insult me, but I told him it was impossible, and then he looked into my face and said, "I do not give a — something about no — black nigger." I have nothing to say about my color. I am so black I can almost spit black ink, but then the Lord gave me the coloring, and I enjoy it. If you have a birthday present for me, send it to $26 lefferson street, Montgomery, Ala. Church In Debt Gives to Missions Church In Debt Gives to Missions Orange, N. J., May 25.—The Union Baptist Church of Orange, N. J., W. P. Lawrence, D.D., pastor, though $2,000 in debt, vowed to give an entire Sunday evening collection to Foreign Missions during April. "Into all the world" was larger to them than New Jersey or the United States. The collection amounted to $126. Bennings Happenings Bennings, D. , May 25.—The churches all enjoyed good services Sunday. The trustees held a rally at Ward Avenue A. M. E. Church with good results. A good collection was also taken at Jones M. E. Church. Mrs. M. L. Wing is visiting her son, Rev. George Wing. Prof. W. S. Lindsey gave an entertainment at Ward A. M. E. Church Wednesday. A May festival and pole wrapping will be given next week by Mrs. Julia Gross.

Louisville, Ky., May 23.—The thirty-second annual commencement of State University was held at McCauley Theatre Thursday evening, May 18, 1911.

Care, of Gardenville, Va., took place Sunday, April 30th, 1911, at 4 p. m., at the home of the bride's parents, 1700 Keyser St., East Baltimore, and it was one of the handsomest of the season. The bride was attired in a white satin dress trimmed with satin ribbon and lace with handsome wreath and veil reaching to end of her dress, and carrying a large bouquet of white carnations. Miss Eva Boone, of Washington, D. C., was bridesmaid, while Rev. A L. Bailev of Baltimore, was best man: The ceremony was performed by Rev. Jones Watkins, D. D., of Enon Baptist Church, followed with prayer by Rev. W. F. Dickerson.

IN MEMORIAM EMERSON—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Cornelia Emerson, who departed this life May 25, 1909, two years ago to-day. God's will was done, and He had his way. When he took our mother, two years ago to-day. And as years roll by, while she's under the crest. To us her death is ever fresh God takes our loved ones from our homes, But never our hearts. By Josie and Alex. In sad but loving remembrance of my beloved daughter, Lulu Walker, who died one year ago, May 24th, 1910. I often sit and think of you, When I am all alone; For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. Alone in the silent grave-yard, Neath the sod and the dew; Never one moment forgotten, In sorrow I think of you. Soon the winter storms will be over, And the Spring comes fresh and fair; I will meekly kneel beside you, And plant your chosen flower there. By her loving Mother and father.

ALLEN. New York.—The Clerk club, a musical organization composed of well known colored composers and musicians, gave its third semiannual musical and society event recently at Manhattan casino. This event, which is looked upon as the crowning social and musical function of the season, is looked forward to with delight by music lovers of the metropolis and has a nation wide influence. Fully 10,000 people crowded Manhattan casino to witness the event. They came from as far away as Baltimore, Washington and Boston and represented the best Afro-American culture. The Cloef club's festivity is the one great event occurring in the social life of colored New Yorkers, which goes beyond any other society event happening in New York. The magnificent array of people presented a scene not easily forgotten. The Cloef club had arranged a unique program, which consisted of a monster minstrel melange made up of 150 members, who presented a marvelous and mirthful musical maze. The appearance of the famous Cloef club symphony orchestra of 128 members, using fifty mandolins, ten violins, ten cellos, twenty-five harp guitars, ten banjos, two flutes, one organ, five bass violins, two clarinets, three tympani and drums and ten planos, was superb. Special music written for the occasion was introduced by the orchestra. The Cleff club symphony orchestra was conducted by James Reese Europe. The assistant conductors were William H. Tyers and Will Marlon Cooke. The program began promptly at 5:15 and ended at 11 p. m. The program opened with a grand opening medley by the entire company. Then came the following: "That Long Lost Chord," sung by Clarence Bush and chorus; "Way Down in Georgia," song by William Parquette and chorus; "Bambooia, a Samoon Idyl," composed by Frederick Bryan, played by the Cleff Club Symphony orchestra; "Toddlin the Toledo," sung by Paul Simmons and chorus.

The program ended at 11 o'clock. The big enco no was cleared, and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The dancing continued until the wee sun hours of the morning. The dance music was furnished by Professor Walter F. Craig's celebrated orchestra and the famous Thomas Colored Orchestra of New York. Promptly at 4 o'clock the last of the sweet strains of the orchestra floated over the assembly, which gave signal for the close of the great event. The guests reluctantly wended their way downward full of food recollections of a brilliant evening of merriment furnished by the Cleff club. Aids Home For Aged Colored People. The skating carnival given by the board of indy managers for the benefit of the Home For Aged Colored People in the Forrest street roller rink, Cleveland, on Thursday evening, May 25, was largely attended and netted a smug sum for that worthy institution. POPULAR YOUNG DENTIST. First Meharry Graduate to Pass State Board of Virginia. Richmond, Va. - The young Afro-American in the professions in this city are making remarkable progress. Prominent among them is Dr. J. Marcus G. Ramsey, the son of Dr. R. B. Ramsey, who is among the leading dentists of the race. Young Dr. Ramsey attended the public schools of this city and is a graduate of Hampton institute. He supplemented his literary training by careful research of scientific subjects and the study of standard literature. Dr. Ramsey is also a graduate of the Meharry Dental college Nashville, Tenn. Having decided to practice his profession in Richmond, he entered the office of his father as an apprentice and was given the benefit of the elder Ramsey's experience. He passed the dental state board of Virginia in June, 1007. After spending a number of months in the well equipped office of the elder Dr. Ramsey he opened his own offices in the well appointed home office building of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia in this city. The modern appointments of his reception, operating, consultation rooms and laboratory reveal the exquisite taste of many of the race's professional men. His offices are a credit to the Afro-Americans residing in the capital of the Old Dominion. This [Image of a man in a suit and tie]. J. MARCUS G. RAMSEY, D. D. B. young man has the distinction of being the first to pass the Virginia state board from Meharry Dental college. Dr. Ramsey has a lucrative practice, and his workmanship is of the very best. People from towns contiguous to Richmond daily give him their work. This, with the large practice he has in the city, keeps him very busy. He believes in organizations that will keep the members of the various professions up to the highest standard. He is a member of the Richmond Medical society, National Medical association and Robert T. Freeman Dental society of Washington. In civic and other movements for the good of the race he is quite a factor. NEW MEMBER OF FACULTY. Beach School Secures Services of Miss Ruth M. Peters. The Beach school in Savannah, Ga., which is carried on by the American Missionary association, has been very fortunate in securing the services of Miss Ruth M. Peters of Dorchester, Mass., as one of the faculty. This is indeed gratifying news to Afro-Americans, as Miss Peters will devote most of her time to the education of the less fortunate members of the race. She believes in a square deal and equal opportunity for humanity in general regardless of race or color. Miss Peters is a graduate of the Mather Grammar school, the Dorchester High school and Simmons college, having a degree of bachelor of science from the latter institution. She is also the author of several short stories and is well known in educational circles throughout the New England states. Free Colored Americans Here to Stay. It is indeed refreshing to read words like the following from the Darlington (S. C.) News and Press: "The Negro is here to stay, not as a slave or under conditions in which he could be governed as in a state of slavery, but as a free individual, and his propensity to crime can be removed only by means which operate for his uplift." And we add, just like any other race of people. Society of Sons of North Carolina. The Society of the Sons of North Carolina was organized in Brooklyn some fifteen years ago. It has a membership of 171 men from the Old North State and is doing a great amount of good. Its recent financial report showed that it has paid to its members in time, of illness and in death benefits of $4,500 and still has a cash balance of $3,500. Strikes the Heart of the Thing. John Mitchell, Jr., the level headed and aggressive editor of the Richmond (Va.) Planet, strikes the very heart of the thing when he says the white folks are passing all kinds of laws to get at the Negro and all of these kinds of laws are embarrassing and hurting the THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER They must be classified and treated according to their class. Although you know, your stock perfectly and have yourself inventoried and well in hand, you can never do yourself justice as a salesman until you study your customers. If you treat them all alike you will get into a sing-song rut, and life will be a burden to you and everyone to whom you talk. Great things are being done in character-reading those days. There is a bright little lady in Boston who teaches the art and demonstrates her skill by reading strangers' characters at her public lectures. Customers may be divided into two main classes; those who want cold facts only and those who must be wheeled—appealed to through their sentiment. To the first you are simply a catalogue, and to sell them you must have the specifications, selling points and the makers' guarantee, if there is one, at your tongue's tip. He or she probably knows what is wanted and wants you to produce it. If such a one is convinced by reading an advertisement, produce the article or offer to get it. To run down the article is to argue against your house, yourself and the sale. The first class is increasing, as people are being educated by advertising and experience. Women as a class are better buyers this year than they were last and will as a rule resort substitution. The "just as good" talk makes them angry. So don't be afraid to list their demands in your want book, and stock up if you get repeated calls. Remember, your personality, your small talk or pleasantries count for little with these shrewd buyers, and woe be to you if you do not analyze them quickly. Study your customer early and closely and be sure of this fact, that it is better to treat all shoppers as if they were of this class than to err on the other alda. If they are not decided as to what they want, seek to learn it quickly, accurately and produce the goods with a short, concise talk about them. Don't talk too much to this class, I beg of you; remember, you are a catalogue, so don't run to fine print, and they'll come again and send their friends. Usually they are undecided, open to argument and easy to sell—the first time. They are free with their confidencees and expect the same shy person, the bargain hunter, the woman who cannot concontrate, and other funny folks. Each needs special treatment; each appreciates courteous attention. So analyze them all and be patient with them all, for somebody has to overlook a whole lot of faults when you and I go shopping.—From Butterick's Bulletin. A really good advertisement, like a mirror, will show things just as they are. Must Advertise to Keep In Market. Must Advertise to Keep in Market. "Advertising was characterized as the missing link between success and failure" by R. E. Sutherland of Omaha, to the members of the National Brick Manufacturers' association at their meeting in Louisville recently. Mr. Sutherland told the brickmakers that they would have to advertise if they wished to keep their place among the industries of the world. "We have simply been asleep," he said. "We have not advertised. Our competitors have advertised and as a result they are getting the business. When you buy soap or flour or any other commodity what brand do you buy? The brand you always see advertised, of course. It is the same way with the home-maker. When he proposes to build a home, he simply goes by the advertisements and he never sees a brick advertisement. "The only advertisements he needs are of cement and stucco and woodwork. Consequently we lose his trade. He almost forgets there is such a thing as brick. It is now up to the brick manufacturers to advertise if they want to keep in the market." A Problem Solved Newspaper advertising has solved the problem of diminishing revenue. It has discovered the utter fallacy of trying to hit 90,000,000 people with magazine distribution that knows neither concentration nor consequence. —Exchange. Serve Facts Attractively The facts, it is true, must sell your goods, but why offer them cold? They can be made very tempting by warning them up a bit and serving them attractively. War on "Moonshiners" Last year revenue officers took and destroyed about two thousand stilts, averaging about fifteen gallons of moonshine a day. Revenue agents find the stilts by following streams and discovering signs of distillery returns in the water and on the banks. Most of the moonshine hangs out in one-night stilts, moving their stilts every day in wagons. MICAH'S PICTURE OF PEACE MICAH'S PICTURE OF PEACE Sunday School Lesson for May 28, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT—Milah 4:1-8. MILAH TEXT—Milah 5:4-9. GOLDEN TEXT—"Nation Shall Not Lift up Sword Against Nation, Neither Shall They Learn War Anymore."—Mil. 4:3. TIME—Milah prophesied in the reigns of Jotham, Ahna, and Hezekiah, who reigned (Deecher) from B. C. 754 to B. C. 698. PLACE—No probably lived in his native town. Moresheth-gath, southwest of Jerusalem. PROPHETS—Isaiah and Rosea. This important lesson deals with a subject that is of the greatest moment in our modern life, a problem that is rapidly approaching solution. After ages of warfare the world seems nearing the era of peace. In the forming of The Hague Tribunal the world has taken, in our lifetime, by far the longest step ever taken toward realizing the Christian ideal of universal brotherhood. But, strange to say, while this has been going on, the world's expenditures in preparation for war have been increased beyond anything the past has known or imagined, so that the cost of a militant peace has become the world's heaviest burden. We are to discuss, therefore, as a vital, urgent theme: "The Terrible Evils of War, and the Coming of the Reign of Peace." Micha has been picturing the sins of his nation, and the terrible punishment that was to come as a result. Now he turns in a flash to a contrasting picture, the glorious, peaceful reign of Messiah. There is no thought that this happy time is to conclude human existence, but it is to be the last stage of human existence, and is to be unending. Micah saw the beloved Mount Zion, the eastern, Temple hill of Jerusalem. It was called the tower of the flock, the flock being the Hebrews, and the Temple being compared to the watchtower into which the shopkeeps went for shelter in a storm or for protection from robbers. It is also called the strong held. Zion is not a mountain but only a small hill, about 400 feet above the valley; yet the prophet saw it rising grandly and surely until it was lifted up far above the loftiest summits of the highest mountains on earth. He saw restored the first dominion, the glory that was his nation's under David and Solomon; yes, even more than that, since he saw many nitions flow into it to learn of the ways of Jehovah, the teachings of the true religion. Flow implies an impetuous, voluntary onrush, like the inward sweep of the 60-foot tides in the Bay of Fundy. Nations then will be "born in a day." Converts will come by Pentecosts. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. It is from this triumphant Church of God that universal peace will spring. It cannot come from any other source. The central thought of this magnificent passage is the reign of Messiah, that which all our churches exist to establish. The most striking evidence of that reign is the inauguration of universal peace. An effective federation of the nations, such as might fitly be called "The United States of the World." will take the place of war. It will have a world constitution, a world legislature, a world judiciary, and a world executive, just as individual nations now have these instruments of government. We can inaugurate the reign of peace by helping the peace societies do their noble work. By studying the question in Sunday schools and public schools. By an earnest advocacy and study of missions, which do more than anything else to cultivate the spirit of love for other peoples, and understanding of them. By protesting against the war spirit in congress and against the appropriation of vast sums for unnecessary warships. What are recent gains in the direction of international peace and federation? The establishment of the international court of arbitration at The Hague, which is the beginning of the world judiciary. The enacting by the nations of more than eighty treaties agreeing to submit disputes to The Hague court for arbitration. The peaceful settlement of more than 600 international disputes, some of them most dangerous, such as that caused by the firing of the Russian fleet upon British fishing vessels in the North sea. The establishing of the Central American high court of nations. The forming of the international bureau of American republics. The placing of a beautiful statue of Christ upon the summit of the Andes between Chile and Argentina, in token of their agreement not to fight each other. The forming of the interparliamentary union, a large body made up of members of the various national parliaments and congresses, working steadily for peace. The beginning of a world executive by the formation of many international bureaus, such as the universal postal union, the international bureau of agriculture, and the international committee of weights and measures. The growing opposition to war on the part of financial institutions and business men and on the part of organized labor. When the laboring men of the world declare that they will no longer serve in armies and the business men declare that they will no longer pay for war, this terrible curse will surely be at an end.
