THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XIX NO.39. CANDIDATES FOR HAITIEN MISSION MULTIPLYING HARRY S. CUMMINGS OF BALTIMORE AMONG THE NUMBER WHOSE NAMES ARE MENTIONED Rumors Flying Thick And Fast As To Who Will Represent This Government at Portau-Prince. - Candidates Are Thick As The Proverbial Leaves Of Valambrosia.-The Is Keeping His Own Counsel Bureau of the Afro-American Ledger, 1004 S Street N. W. Washington, D. C., May 31.—Candidates for the Haytien Mission are still hobbing up, and the end is not yet. "Hustling Phil" Waters, of West Virginia, it is said, will shy his castor in the ring and will be backed up by the West Virginia people of both parties and both colors. Dr. L. H. Lott, of Indiana, thinks a Hoosier should succeed a Hoosier, and Dr. J. R. Wilder, of this city, thinks he should to study some problems of the race at first hand. And there are some who link that Charles W. Anderson, of New York, would not be averse to rounding out his unique career by being appointed to a foreign mission. Senator Bradley and the Kentucky contingent are solidly behind Lawyer Albert S. White, and Maryland comes forward and would like to see City Councilman Harry S. Cummings spend a few years in ahe famous Negro republic, and incidentally draw a stipend of $10,000 a year from your Uncle Sam's coffers. Roscoe Conkling Bruce and Prof. Kelly Miller are mentioned, but both of them are too dignified to file a paper or enter a contest. A rumor has gone forth that if Assistant Attorney General Lewis fails of confirmation he will be given the mission as a consolation prize. In the meantime, as the funny papers would say, there is a strong undercurrent that the President would not be averse to having Dr. Furniss reconsider his determination to resign and wait a while longer. However, he is giving no sign just now what he is going to do, or who he will appoint to this choicest plum. Howard University (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, D. C., May 30. — Mr. James C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, has been elected a member of the Board of Trustees of Howard University by a unanimous vote. Mr. Napier is a graduate of the law department of Howard University, and is the first alumnus of the school to be honored by a place on the Board of Trustees of that great institution. Mr. Napier was confined at home for several days of last week, on account of the after-effects of his recent accident at Knoxville, Tenn. May Go To Cincinnatti (Spec. to The Afro-American Ledger). Wasington, June 2.—Mr. Lew Henry, the popular and capable stage manager of the New Howard Theater, has under consideration an advantageous offer to act as stage manager for the new Magnolia Theater, which is to be opened in August at Cincinnati, Ohio. Twenty thousand dollars worth of improvements are to be made upon the house, and when completed it will be the best theater for colored patrons in the Middle West. It will seat 1,700 pople. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Mt. Friendship. Del. May 31.—The annual thanksgiving services of Love and Union Lodge of Odd Fellows were held at Mr. Friendship A. M. E. Church. The thanksgiving sermon was preached by Rev. Edward Tiley, of Cheswold, Del. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. Henry Wilson, furnished special music. Large delegations from Cheswold and Lockwood Lodges were present at the services. J. T. Stevens was master of ceremonies. Miss M. E. Hazzard, an evangelist, is one of the most active workers among the female members of the Order. BOARD ENDORSES SECRETARY'S WORK Secretary Of Missions Rev. Dr. Beckett Endorsed (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) New York, June 1.—The meeting of the Board of Missions of the A M. E. Church at the Bible House last week revealed the fact that the members of the board have the utmost confidence in the ability of Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, who has been secretary of the Department of Missions for the past three years. At its conclusion session the Board passa a resolution unanimously endorsing Dr. Beckett for re-election as missionary secretary or for any position in the Church to which he might aspire. As Dr. Beckett has hosts of friends who would like to see him elevated to the bishopric, the flattering resolutions of confidence are regarded as a meaning, that the individual members of the Board, as well as others in all sections of the country, want to see him elevated to the episcopacy. The Board also passed a resolution asking that the Church Extension, the Financial, Publishing and Mission Boards co-operate in memorializing the next General Conference for authority to erect a suitable building in Philadelphia, where these four departments could be properly housed. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, who presided, suggested that quarters could be found in such a building for the establishment of a great library of Negro authors. Hagerstown, Md., May 31. — Work has begun on the new Bethel A. M. E. Church building, after being suspended for several months. Under the new pastor's leadership (Rev. David Johnson) confidence has been restored, creditors satisfied, and the workmen are in full blast. It will be completed and ready for dedication in the early fall. It will be one of the handsomest church edifices in the Conference. The cost will be about $8,000. Presiding Elder S. M. Johnson held his first quarterly meeting on Sunday, and expressed himself as being highly pleased at the outlook. The collection on Sunday was the largest received on quarterly meeting for several years, and both services were well attended. Mrs. Mary Carey and Mrs. Lucinda Beaner headed a large donation party last Friday night, given to Rev. David Johnson. Mrs. Sarah Moxley, who has been ill for some time, is improving slowly. Household of Ruth No. 149 gave a surprise party Monday night to Mr. Henry Bell, who is nearly blind. Refreshments were served. Mr. James Clements is out again, after a severe attack of indigestion. Book Concern In Trouble (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Philadelphia, Pa., May 31.—Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the denomination, was called to this city a few days ago to prevent the foreclosure of the effects of the Book Concern in satisfying a judgment for more than $4,000 recently obtained against the concern by Mrs. J. H. Collett, widow of its late manager. The judgment was obtained by Mrs. Collett for back salary said to be due her husband and for money advanced by her and Dr. Collett in keeping the Concern afloat. Pocomoke City, Md—Presiding Elder P. Jordan preached at St. John's A. M. E. Church Sunday morning and night. Messrs. Luther McKenny and Anthony Archer have returned from Lawrenceville, Va., where they are attending school. Many of the people of this neighborhood are now engaged in picking strawberries. MANY EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS IN HARLEM WHERE TWENTY THOUSAND OF THEM LIVE A City Of Five Million Souls From Every Quarter Of The Globe.—A Great Public Library—Baltimoreans Are Doing Well—Negro Journalists Are Succeeding Well.—Some Well Paid Members Of The Great Fraternity. (Staff Correspondence.) New York, June 1.—While story after story has been written about Greater New York, the greatest city on the American continent, it still remains an interesting theme for mention. For one to even vaguely comprehend the vastness of the city, with its upward of five million inhabitants, from all parts of the globe, one has to spend a little more than a living visit. As a big commercial center, one would likely get the idea that it is a city where money is god and culture and humane interests do not exist; but such is not the case. The brains of the country have builted vast commercial interests here, and out of the bounty of their earnings have fostered such institutions as the newly dedicated New York Public Library, Columbia and New York Universities, lecture foundations, the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, the Pratt Institute, Cooper Institute, and many other things that make for the moral and mental uplift of a vast horde of people. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Indeed, when one visits the new Public sausena qui quis quis sausena qui sausena and the completeness of the plant. It is a combination of several foundations and cost $10,000,000 for the building alone. This building contains lecture rooms, rooms for juveniles, lunch rooms, a school for librarians, books upon all subjects and in all languages, elevators, in fact, all things that would make a book-lover rejoice. They have a reading room in this marble palace of accumulated knowledge that is more than twice the size of the main floor of the new Bethel Church, Baltimore. Before each desk is a hood containing an incandescent lamp, which prevents the reader from unduly straining his eyes. The patrons of the library form an interesting study in contrasts. You may find there banker, lawyer, business man, publicist, college professor, Chinese, Japanese, factory worker, new immigrant and student. The library contains books in all languages, thus suiting it to the needs of people of all classes and in all stations of life. THE RACE MAKING PROGRESS One has but to review in his mind the comparative restrictions that the race labored under here in the days prior to the Civil War, when educational facilities were denied, in many instances, to the Negro, the vast opportunities that lay before the enlightened and progressive men and women of the race today. This takes into consideration the fact that a man has to be an extraordinary force to command great attention in so vast a city, but there is every chance for him to be a great force among his own people, and then to attract the attention and the respect of the many allied races. Up in Harlem, where more than 20,000 of the race have moved within the past few years, there are many evidences of progress. Drug stores, restaurants, barber shops, churches, coal dealers, real estate men, and other institutions abound. Right in the center of this district is the parish house and new church of the St. Philip's congregation. The rector of this church is Hurchins C. Bishop, a native of Baltimore. Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, also lives in Harlem. Philip A. Payton, the most successful colored real estate dealer in the city, also lives in Harlem. Just a few months ago he spent $5,000 in advertising and is now reaping a golden harvest therefrom. A BALTIMOREAN'S SUCCESS. Nail and Parker are also doing a most successful real estate business. Nail formerly kept a saloon downtown, but sold out a little over a year ago to enter the real estate business. He is a native of Baltimore. (Cotinued on Page 4) Extensive Preperations Being Made In Washington For That Import- ant Event (Ssepcial to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, D. C., June 1.—Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, in charge of the details of the celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the immortal author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," announces that the big meeting will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Wednesday evening, June 14, which is also "Flag Day." The principal address will be delivered by Dr. Lyman Beecher Stowe, the grandson of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe; and other distinguished speakers will make supplementary remarks. Among the patrons who will attend and give Mrs. Terrell cordial support are such eminent women as Mrs. John Hay, wife of the late Secretary of State; Miss Mabel T. Boardman, of the Red Cross Society and intimate friend of Mrs. Taft; Mrs. Archibald Hopkins; Mrs. Porter, a relative of the late Admiral D. D. Porter; and others whose names will be given later. Mrs. Terrell, who will preside at the meeting and give the reasons why the colored people of the country should observe this sacred occasion, is soon to issue a carefully prepared volume, "An Appreciation of Harriet Beecher Stowe," which is to be widely circulated. Miss Lola Johnson, the eminent vocalist, will sing. The attendance at Metropolitan Church on the 11th should test the capacity of that spacious edifice. Clarence White To (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, May 31. — Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the eminent violinist, will locate in Boston, and will open a conservatory of music, specializing in violin instruction He goes to his new home in a few days and his wife and two fine boys will accompany him. It is thought that his step-father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Conner, will go to Indianapolis, Ind., for permanent residence. Washington will thus sustain a double loss. New Church Building To Be Erected (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) WILL ERECT NEW CHURCH. Laurel, Dcl, May 31.—Rev. V. N. S. Hughes, pastor of St. Mark's' M. E. Church, is preparing to begin the erection of a new church. Special services were held in the church all day last Sunday, Rev. Hughes preaching in the morning and Rev. J. S. Cooper at night. Preparations are now being made for Children's Day exercises. Committed Suicide. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Richmond, Va., May 29—Henry Doggett, a white man, 23 years of age, who was to be tried for attempting to commit an assault upon Miss Hattie James, a pretty young colored girl, sixteen years of age, in Henrico county, and who was out on bail, committed suicide in his home shortly before noon yesterday, by shooting himself in the right temple with a 32-calibre revolver. He was to have been tried today. Before ending his life, Doggett wrote two letters, one to his mother and one to his girl friend, protesting his innocence.

A Convention Of The Rising Sons And Daughters Of Protection. It Is A Great Organization Aud Organized By A Hurstboro, Ala.—Now you see I am at a place you have never heard of me being before, and I am not sure whether or not you will hear of me being here again. If you have time to listen I have a few things to say to you this week, and it will pay you to hear them. I have just passed another birthday last Sunday, and if you guess how old I am I will give you something real nice. You will have to make the guess, though. It strikes me that I was in Birmingham when I wrote you the last letter, and now I am far from there. I spent Sunday in the city, the guest of Rev. P. W. Walls, D.D., of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. Walls was transferred from Arkansas last fall to take charge of St. John, and I am here here to tell you that he is doing a great work and deserves much credit. He has gotten right into the hearts of the people. You may put it down that I told you one day, he is going to be a bishop right in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and I will live to see it. The Rev. Dr. Whited, of Winston-Salem, was in town, and while I did not get to see him, I heard from him. You see there is a large church in town without a pastor, and the officers had invited Rev. Whitted to come down and let them hear him preach, and if he could preach to suit the congregation he would be called. I am told that he made a great preach, and he is a great preacher, and I hagge that he will be called to the new field. He has been recommended by Rev. S. N. Vass. I have told you about Dr. Vass, as he is the man who wanted to whip me while in the National Baptist Convention last fall, but I turned right red in the face and he got out of my way, which was the proper thing to do. The schools were having their commencement sermons and the like. A big crowd went down to see Prof. J. A. Bray and his work, while another crowd went out to hear Prof. Camphor and his people. These are two strong schools. Miles Memorial College is at Wineville, a part of Birmingham, while the other is at Mason City, and is known as Central College. I am sure you have heard of Prof. J. A. Bray before. He is one of the leading educators of the country. He is a minister in the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. He has been in the schoolrooms all his life, so to speak. He went in as a pupil, and came out as a teacher, and now he is developing a work that will be heard of in generations to come. I did not get to any part of the commencement, hence I am not prepared to tell you about it. I did not get out, because I did not have the time, and then because he promised to send me a letter last year and did not do so. I said last year, but it was in February. I would that we had many men in the race like Prof. Bray and I am sure the race would be made better. I want you to know such men. Women's Day Services (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) In company with a large crowd of people I left Montgomery, Ala., to attend the Grand Lodge of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection. This lodge evolved from the brain of Mrs. Carrie Tuggle and is doing a great work. They have a membership of about ten thousand, and continues to grow. It is only six years old, and it is hard to tell where it will be when it reaches "sweet sixteen." I am not going to enter into details about this meeting because I have been to Tuskegee institute commencement and, it being the first time, I just looked and looked until my eyes are sure, right now. Have you ever attended a Tuskegee commencement? If not it will pay you to attend one. You see there what you Continued on Page 4. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) New York, June 1—Dr. Jean Jacques arrived in this city a few, days ago from Haiti, and hopes to raise enough funds in this country to establish a school in Haiti modeled on the lines of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes. Dr. Booker T. Washington has given the project his hearty approval. Just before leaving for Philadelphia today, Dr. Jacques said: "The country needs more practical education; the average Haitien aims too high and is too impractical. I am here in the interest of an educational project to be run along Tuskegee lines. The Haitiens need industrial education, and such a school would be a blessing to the republic. He will make a general tour of the country in the interest of the project. A movement has taken shape here during the past fortnight to have colored probation officers appointed for the courts. Counselor Louis Davell and Mr. Isaac Allen called on Judge Mulqueen in the interest of the movement a few days ago and received his hearty endorsement of the effort. Miss Grace Campbell, a settlement worker, has been endorsed for appointment as probation officer. Mrs. Josephine Crawford left last week for Sag Harbor with her husband, who is a member of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. Among the prominent visitors here during the past week were: Miss Marie Carter, of New Orleans; Dr. W. A. Byrd, editor of the Rochester Sentinel; Prof. E. W. Houston, of Savannah, Ga.; Dr. Weeks, of New Berne, N. C.; Prof. William Benson, of Kowaliga, Ala., and Mrs. Ruth W. Collet, of Baltimore. Cleveland G. Allen, the newspaper correspondent, will leave for New Haven, Conn., next Tuesday, where he will report the proceedings of the New England Conference of the A. M. Theological Students Gradute (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) New York, May 31.—Messrs. Arnold Hamilton Maloney and William E. Hendricks, both of the West Indies, were graduated from the General Theological Seminary today. The former received the degree of master of arts from Columbia University last year, while the latter received the degree of bachelor of arts from Yale University in 1907. Both will enter the Episcopal ministry. Mr. Maloney may take charge of St. Philip's Church, Annapolis, Md. Worth a Quarter Million (Speciali to The Afro-American Ledger.) New Berne, N. C., May 31.—The parsonage of the A. M. E. Church has been made more desirable by the placing of a galvanized iron roof thereon. The recent mock conference netted $132. Of this sum, Mrs. J. C. McEady raised $35; Mrs. Nellie Johnson; $24; Mrs. Della Dillehunt; $24.25; Mrs. Farland; $0.00, and Mrs. Wood; $1.45. Mr. T. H. Smith, who was born in slavery, owns 300 homes here and is building more. His wealth is estimated at $250,000. Atholton, Md.—Woman's Day exercises were held at Hopkins M. E. Church last Sunday. The services were in charge of Miss M. Staley and Mrs. Hill. The collection amounted to $54.59. Rev. A. L. Jenkins is pastor of the church. EPOCH MAKING SCHOOL YEAR. Howard Graduates Large Class and Confers Degrees. PERSONNEL OF STUDENT BODY Eight Days Required to Cover Program of Exercises at Forty-second Annual Commencement of Widely Known Institution in Washington. Judge Wendell. P. Stafford Speake. With all the pomp and ceremony characteristic of great universities the forty-second annual commencement of Howard university came to a close Wednesday evening, May 31, in the presence of a large audience composed largely of relatives and friends of the graduates. More than 150 young men and women received degrees. The degree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon about forty young men and women, twenty-seven from the College of Arts and Sciences and thirteen from the Teachers' college. Thirty-eight were in the senior medical class as candidates for the degree of doctor of medicine. Twenty-one were in the senior dental class as candidates for the degree of doctor of dental surgery. Thirteen were in the senior class in pharmacy as candidates for the degree of doctor of pharmacy. Twenty-nine were in the senior law class as candidates for the degree of bachelor of laws. In the School of Theology there were seventeen seniors in the day school and fourteen in the night school. There were seven seniors in the normal course, thirty-nine seniors in the academy and twelve seniors in the Commercial college.

THIRKIELD this year is the largest in the history of the school, thus making the commencement just closed the greatest of all Howard commencements. President Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, the distinguished head of this institution, secured the services of Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford of the supreme court of the District of Columbia as the commencement speaker. The colored people in general were highly pleased with this selection, for they recognize Judge Stafford as one of the strongest friends to the cause of Negro education in this country. Noteworthy, indeed, were the scenes on this commencement day. In the audience could be seen men and women high in life's walks—bishops and ministers who are at the top of their profession; doctors and lawyers who have won fame in their callings; educators whose learning has made them NEW CARNEOLIE LIBRARY. celebrated: high government officials and other men prominent in political affairs. The representative character of the audience was indeed noteworthy. To many the most inspiring as well as the most beautiful and classic scene was that presented when the graduates, president, faculties and honored guests in grand procession, donated in classic cap and gown, marched into the auditorium. President Thirkield presided, as is the time honored custom. He was greeted with much warm applause, which testified not only to his popularity with the student body, but showed that the people in general appreciate the great services he has rendered to Howard university.

TH I / FRO=AMERICAN=LEDGER (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Although William Gaylord had a penchant for producing none-too-clever short stories and halt-and-lame verse, no one in Toddytown knew this except pretty Mamie Montclair, a girl who wonders from confidential admirers only to give them freely to the world. Gaylord — the serious, angular, spectacled William—had long traveled conspicuously in the train of Mamie's admirers, and although she deigned him barely more than a curt nod and pleasant salutation on any occasion, there were those who averred that she cared more for him than for all the others. The Montclair damsel was a thorn in the sides of the envious feminine contingent of the town. When Mamie, a gawky girl in pigtails, had been thrust upon a train and sent to Mrs. Gentry's finishing school at Savannah there was no one to prophesy the mighty change that was to take place in her during her two seasons with the famous southern beauty maker. Mrs. Gentry deplored Mamie's diminutiveness, but she marveled much over the maid's complexion, and astutely saw great possibilities in her dark but clumsy braids. There had been no beavies of men admirers in those days. Willie Gaylord had peered mistily at the departing one through thick and ugly glasses—and he had been all! His hand had gripped hers in a tight clasp, and after several attempts he had convulsively spoken a formal goodby, and hurried away. Mamie was young, but she had understood. Now it was different. Willie was only an humble one in the group of fluttering male moths around the flame of Mamie's personality. At least this seemed to be the existing condition, to the denser brains of the men who watched. With the women it was different. They could see the trend of Mamie's thought. Much of the Montclair currency—the family coffers were kept replenished from the profits of a factory manufacturing popular hand soap—was spent upon Mamie. She was given trips abroad, seasons in the metropolis; yachts and automobiles were at her disposal, and, in fact, anything for which she wished was laid at her little feet. She ran the gamut of innocent pleasures. She sounded the depths of every man's affection—that is, every man except the slim, narrow-chested William. Serenely he watched her trimps, but his lips remained mute. In these days William had begun to destroy much good white paper, and with two fingers he was laboriously, painfully, learning the intricacies of the typewriter. His attempts at fiction were crude, his unskilled pencil generally building a stick for a hero and a frump for a heroine. His stuff was unreal, lifeless. His effusions hastened promptly back when submitted to the magazines. It was well that the Gaylord fortune was large—ample enough to allow the attenuated youth to favor his proficiency fad. There was no money in the production of fiction for William. Just before Mamle had taken leave of Toddytown on another suddenschemed, mother-chaperoned trip across the seas she had given the youth a whole afternoon. William had not wholly improved his opportunities. He had not spoken a word of love. He had, however, broken into the crypt of his heart to parade his ambitious secret to her. Mamie Montclair had listened serenely to the budding genius. "Have you sold any of your stories?" she asked, deftly arranging a dark curl. "Not yet," acknowledged William bravely; "But I have received two letters from editors—outside of the regular run of refusal slips, you know—asking me to submit more of my work." "Keep it up," encouraged the girl. "I—I am sure you can win, if—if only I will believe in yourself. You haven't enough self-confidence." She blushed at some subtle thought not plain to the admiring Gaylord, who was now watching her with admiring eyes. "I believe I can do much—if you want me to," he said simply, and this was as near sentiment as he approached during the afternoon, although the forelock of opportunity dangled temptingly time and again before his fingers. After Mamie had been gone for some time, there came back to Gargord a letter bearing a foreign stamp. Willie recognized the handwriting. "From her," he murmured, and as there was no one there to see, he pressed his lips to the envelope. Mamie, it seemed, was interested in Willie's ambition to become one of the producers of popular fiction. She wished to keep in touch with him, to learn of his triumphs, to console with him over his failures, to encourage him. Some of this was implied; some boldly told him in frank sentences. Through the letter, however, ran a thread of romance, not wholly agreeable to the youth. "I have met a perfect dear of a man here," the girl wrote. "He is a duke or a count or something, and he is just too sweet! He shows me marked attention." Several other allusions were made to this action of nobility; so many, in fact, that William felt impelled to answer promptly—and he gave much space in his effusion to the "national duty of an American girl, viz., to marry an American." In a tardy answer to this she spoke again of the count—it now seemed that he bore this title—and assured her old Toddytown friend that he was different from the usual run of small fry lordlings. This count, said Mamie, was a perfect gentleman. In a timid sentence she confessed that the count was even then with them—he had joined her party. They were in France. Latent personality developed in William Gaylord. He wrote angrily and demanded that the girl scan the scores of alliances contracted between American dollars and continental blue blood and write him if she found a truly successful one. He bluntly—and brutally—insisted that her count was thinking only of her money in his wooing and not of her personal charms. Between letters he savagely dashed off a story with an American girl as herolne, a messalliance as motif, and a lover who literally beat the coroneted husband to a pulp and dragged the girl-wife away to an American divorce colony. An editor bought this promptly and sent the cynic a substantial check. Gaylord was the frenzied recipient of just one more teasing letter—and then Mamle came home. "Well." roared William—a strong-jawed, harsh-featured William, with cold gray knobs of polished steel in lieu of eyes scintillating behind the thick glasses. "I suppose you brought that idiot along with you." Mamie stared. "If you mean the count," she answered meekly, "I didn't. You seemed so—so set against it that I didn't dare." She lowered her eyes. They were on the vine-covered veranda of the Montclair mansion—and alone. "Say! I've sold a story!" Say! I've said a story. In his elation Gaylord abruptly changed the subject. "I—I am glad," whispered the girl. She still stood before him, a diminutive goddess of beauty with eyes lowered. "I—I told you you could win—if you would." Gaylord came resolutely up and closed fierce arms about her. "I'm going to marry you," he said loudly. "And—and no darned count can butt in." Such was the manner of Gaylord's wooing. JIU JITSU UP IN ICELAND There It Is Known as Glima and Its Secrets Have Been Jealously Guarded. "Up to the present time," says a writer in the Strand, "glima, the ancient pastime and means of personal defense in Iceland, has been jealously guarded from all foreigners. "Indeed the only occasion when strangers were allowed to witness it during the whole of the last century was when it was displayed before King Christian IX. of Denmark at Thingvellir, when he visited Iceland in 1874, and even then only two men took part—the present Rev. Sigurour Gunnarsson of Stykkisholm and the Rev. Larus Halldorsson of Reykjavik. "But times change, and thus today, even in far-away Iceland, where news from the outside world is slow to creep in, we have at last recognized that no good purpose is being served by still keeping secret our ancient form of self-defense, the knowledge of which, valuable though it is in every-life life, must necessarily play second fiddle in scientific warfare. "On that account, therefore, today I feel no qualms in divulging the secrets of this form of self-defense, which has been practiced in Iceland since 1100, when my country was a republic. It was not then limited to the platform nor to any special occasion, for throughout the land from the country farm to the Althing (parliament) it was a daily exercise in which most men took part. "The essential idea of this Icelandic form of self-defense is to enable the weaker to hold their own with the stronger, and I am not exaggerating when I say that if she will take the trouble to learn some of the tricks and hitches of glita even a woman possessed of only ordinary strength will be able to defend herself against and overcome an opponent possessed of far greater physical strength." Exporting Walnut Trees. Walnut trees are becoming scarcer from year to year in eastern Pennsylvania, owing to the high prices they command. Exporters make systematic tours through the rural regions, buying up all the walnut trees that can be had. They pay $50 to $100 a tree, or even more if the specimen is particularly attractive. A big walnut tree on the Hutchinson estate, in Cheltenham, has just been cut down and the timber will be shipped abroad. A Wilmington exporter of walnut logs bought this and other trees in the vicinity. These logs, it is said, are to be manufacturer into gun stocks in France. Formerly walnut timber was in demand in Europe, principally for use in making veneer for furniture. A Suggestion. "My little boy can give a perfect imitation of a phonograph."

BALTIMORE, MAY 27, 1911 One of the things that we must learn and learn speedily is, that we must depend upon ourselves, both as individuals and as a race. Let us stop looking for posts to lean against and stand up on our feet like men. The world gets heartily tired of loaters and leaners; one is about as bad as the other. If the Republican party would keep the Negro voter in line it will have to do more than threaten him with the loss of their interest in his franchise. The very fact that they threaten to do him up for not voting at the last election for their candidates is one of the strongest evidences that the only interest they have in us is our votes. Some folks are not altogether pleased with the editorial in last week's issue on the High School question. They seem to think we emphasized too much on the administration of Dr. Staley. Even if Dr. Staley was white, that was nothing to his discredit, and as he did an excellent work, why should we not say so. Don't let us be so thin-skinned. That fellow down in Virginia, who preferred to commit suicide to standing trial for assault committed on a little Negro girl and leaving a letter professing his innocence, took the surest step to proclaim his guilt. No innocent white man would have killed himself. Now had it been a Negro, the community of "best white citizens" would have saved him the trouble of putting himself out of the way. CONTRARY TO THE MIND OF CHRIST We must at all times be charitable, for however rich or intelligent we may be, without the gift of "charity" we are nothing. It is therefore with the true spirit of charity that we must confess our great surprise at the conduct of the white Christian men of this community, who, in attempting to honor the foremost ecclesiastical dignitary, both of this city and country, really dishonor him by their inability in such a function; to rise against the mean "caste" spirit, and permit their colored fellow citizens to share in the public appreciation on behalf of Cardinal Gibbons. As great man as is the Cardinal, in nothing is his real greatness more apparent than in his disposition of heart and soul which has uniformly characterised him in his dealings with the humbleest portion of the citizenry of the country, and nothing would have been more fitting than the presence of some worthy colored men of this commubity on the public committees appointed by the Governor of Mary- land, and the Mayor of Baltimore. But, possibly, there are yet many hard hearted white Christians, like the old white minister in bygone days, whose little daughter inquired of him whether there are any colored people in heaven. "Papa" said the little girl, "are there any colored people in heaven?" Looking very grave, he replied with deep solemnity, "There are some few." Cardinal Gibbons, above and beneath everything else which he may be, is a minister of Jesus Christ. He is a man who has interpreted in his life the words of the Master, who said: "Whoever will be great among you, let him be such by b.ing the chief servant of all." And Cardinal Gibbons knows in his heart the impressive beauty of those words, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." When others found it convenient to hold their peace, in the midst of concerted action to humiliate, degrade, and discourage the people of color, through such schemes of "Disfranchisement" and "Jincerowism" and the like, our Cardinal found it most convenient to lift up his voice, in a way and manner that could not be possibly misunderstood, on behalf of "the least of his brethren," pleading for fair play as well as decent and Christian treatment of them. None of the citizens of Baltimore, upon the occasion of the Cardinal's jubilee, can present before this man of God, hearts filled with more sincere gratitude and appreciation for what he is, and for his influence in the way of righteousness, than the Negroes of this city, Ronan Catholic or otherwise. Our very absence from any of the functions in his honor constitutes a magnificent tribute to the man, witnessing thereby the stubbornness of the thing we call "race-prejudice," and evincing the fact that the old servile spirit is "hard even at death's door. THAT WICKED LAW The language with which the present article is headed, may seem quits strong, but it is none too strong in its characterization of what is commonly known as the "West Segregation ordinance." It is our purpose, at this time to notice but one feature of this measure which is styled by its author as one for "preserving peace" between the races. This ordinance, most impertinently, interferes with religious liberty. According to this law, it is not lawful for white or colored people to starf a new church or mission anywhere in the city without first securing a "permit" from the Board of Police Commissioners. In the second place, whatever mission or church is established must be for white or colored people exclusively. It is not lawful for ful for white and colored people, if they so desire, to meet together and worship their common "Our Father who art in Heaven." What God hath joined together, the Police Commissioners are authorized to put asunder. It is generally known that in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches, many worshippers, as a matter of convenience, attend mass together, in the same church building. The West ordinance would put a stop to this practise. Again, in the case like the present, St. Barnabas Roman Catholic Church, which has a white pastor, should he die, resign, or be transferred, no other white priest could take up his residence in the parsonage, situated as it is in a Negro block. And the same thing would be true of white sisters working among colored people. A Christian Church is for people, not white people or black people. It matters not, if but custom, or for other reasons, people associate themselves together according to their likes, provided, however, such an house of worship be open and free to whoever may come. We have what we call "colored" churches, but white people are just as much welcome therein as any others. And there are "white" churches, where colored people are welcome. Now, when it is attempted, by law, to confine each race to separate houses of worship such a law is a supreme affront to the supreme law of Christ, and contravenes the very spirit of the Christian Church. We can not understand how any man calling himself a disciple of Jesus Christ, as Mayor of this city, could sign his name to any such document. If the white ministers of the gospel, Bishops and other chief dignitaries have any conception of the real purpose of the Gospel in breaking down the middle wall of partition which hitherto separated Jew and Gentle, they will hasten to see that this piece of impudent legislation be repealed. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER There ought to be at least one spot on earth exempt from political interference, and that spot is the city of God, the House of Prayer for all people. Any one who would erect such a barrier, and seek to dishonor the religion of Christ, could hardly be considered "in love and charity with his neighbors." One of the cardinal principles of our government is that a man be free to serve God according to the dictates of his own conscience; if, then, a white man or a white woman believe in their conscience, that it is their duty to worship in a colored church, sit by the side of colored people, and do all in their power to impart to such humble Christians what he or she has received, by what authority has such a statesman as Mr. Samuel West to set himself against the law of God? It is the underlying principle of this whole matter which is of paramount importance, and the sooner it is settled once for all, the better it will be for all hands. WE CAN DO IT No. 3. We must ever keep in mind, the fundamental fact that it takes time to grow crops and races. A few vegetables may be grown in hot houses, but the great crop of vegetables mature with summer's heat and the summer's sun. Moses might be produced in forty years in Pharoah's palace, but God led, and helped, and struggled with Israel the Nation, for nearly fifteen hundred years before they had arisen to such national height and unity, that he could use them in the accomplishment of the world old plan of bringing salvation to mankind, through Jesus Christ, the Son of David. So that while a few men here and there may go up to promineuce.position and honor, it takes long years to lift a race, so that its general level will be superior rather than inferior. In this lifting of a race, every strong and able man and woman will have a work to do. The best prepared men and women of every field must do their full part, in building our race into a people which shall command again the respect of the world. It were folly for the schooled, trained and educated among us, to withdraw from the field of racial struggle, and content themselves with their own apparently happy lot, for the accomplishment of the ends sought, will require steady, intelligent and constant cooperation. So the keyword of our thought is cooperation. In the upward march of the race, let each man and woman ask, what am I doing in the lifting process? Having myself been blessed with religious, social and educational advantages, what am I doing for my less fortunate brother or sister? Having myself come to a home of comfort and plenty, what about my brothers and sisters in black, who will suffocate and die in the alley attics and vile teemements of our cities during this torrid summer heat. In the building of the race the child is the indispensible factor. It behooves the priest, the seer and the teacher to cooperate with the mothers and fathers of the children in unsanitary quarters, and give the children a new chance for life and the race a new chance for development. Cooperate with the Empty Stocking and Fresh Air Circle, Day Nursery Associations and similar organizations in our great cities of the land, for the race is wise which guards the life, health and morals of its children. In all our cities there is a large and growing class of women whose feet have gone into the ways of sin, and ever and anon we hear of an effort on the part of our women to establish a Rescue Mission, that they may like Mrs.Fry, rescue and save the courtesan whose life is the bilge water of the race. Let us cooperate with the godly women of the race in establishing and maintaining Young Women's Christian Associations and Rescue Missions that the good and pure may be saved in their chastity, and that the wayward may be rescued from the ways of sin. Let us cooperate with the men who are struggling with the problem of conserving the best forces of the young men by building up the Y.M.C.A. where our young men may find clean wholesome pastime under the surveillance of religion For after all said and done, by the many lifting forces among us, the womanhood of the race will not be safe, until our young men are honorable, moral and upright, with such a spirit of knighthood as will make them defenders of the chastity and virtue of our young women Mrs. Maude Durbin, of 1141 N. Carey street is home again after a very pleasant visit to friends in Hayre de Grace and Port Deposit. RANDOM THOUGHTS By Fernando Mr. Vernon and Haitian Annexation. The New York Age had a special last week from Quindaro, Kan., in which it is stated that the Kansas friends of William Tecuniseh Veron are rejoicing over his possible selection as United States Minister to Haiti, as he will use his every effort to place Hayti under the protectorate of this government. The Age also has an editorial which pleads against any suggestion of an attempt to annex that country. There seems to be a delusion somewhere, or either Mr. Vernon is going to try to sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. Haitians, with all their history behind them, and with their knowledge of the United States in its treatment of the Negro and of its island dependencies would be the last to desire any form of authority over them, and if the former Register of the Treasury were sent there as United States minister, and started those tactics 1190 Haitian generals might make it considerably unpleasant for him. Those who know Mr. Vernon best would not take him to be a man willing to do startling things in championing the cause of the Negro before a Republican National Convention, much less going to Haiti and starting an insurrection. That a number of white Americans would like to exploit the boundless resources of the little republic goes without saying, but that the colored people of this country would stand for Haitian annexation is unthinkable. Nearly forty years ago, during Grant's administration, Frederick Douglas worked for the annexation of San Domingo, but failed. With the expressed disposition of the Unired States not to desire any foreign territory, and with Mr. Vernon's ultra conservativeness in matters affecting the race, we hope and do really believe that the Kansas correspondent to the Age has been misled. Negro Philanthropists. A few days ago Charles H. Smiley, a Chicago caterer, left in his will $3,000 with which to establish a scholarship at the University of Chicago. The only restriction made in concession with the bequest was that colored persons were to be given the preference. The generosity of Mr. Smiley brings to mind that Thomy Lafon left a large sum to erect a public school in New Orleans. This school is named after him and stands as a monument to one of the early benefactors of the race. Louis Dode, a wealthy tailor of Baltimore, left $10,000 with which to establish for the race in St. Joseph's Hospital, that city, and eight years ago, Miss Nancy Addison, a spinner of the same city, left several thousand dollars to the St. Francis Convent, Baltimore. John McKee, a wealthy Philadelphiaian, left the bulk of his estate to charity some years ago and Miss Mary Shaw bequeathed $38,000 to Tuskegee Institute. The late John S. Trowes of Philadelphia left over $150,000. He had been noted as giver to good causes. Coupled with all this may be mentioned the recent gift of a planter to Campbell College, the raising of large sums for education in Mississippi by Bishops Elias Cottrell and the late Bishop Edward W. Lampton. Kittrell's Silver Jubilee. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Kittrell College, the celebration of which has just ended, brings to mind the great work done by African Methodists for the education of the race. Wilberforce University was the first school, now existing, to be run by the members of the race. The success of the work there is best told in the successful careers of the men and women who have been trained there within the past 50 years. The work of the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne is now seen in the many A. M. E. schools scattered over the Southland. The Walking Cure. Doctors are of one mind in advocating walking as one of the best means of keeping the human machine in good working order, and one of New York's foremost medical authorities went as far as to say, in a lecture to young men studying for the profession, that if every adult could be persuaded to make a conscientious habit of walking five miles every day, there would be such a prompt and general improvement in health that doctors would soon have to be looking for other ways of making a living. From "Physical Culture" for May. Centenary Of Bishop Payne To Be Celebrated At Annual Commence- ment Wilberforce, Ohio, June 1.—The forty-eighth annual commencement of Wilberforce University will begin next Thursday and continue for one week. The commencement will be a notable one in many respects as the centenary of the birth of the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, founder of the college, will be fittingly observed on the 11th and 12th instants. Bishops H. M. Turner, W. B. Derrick, L. J. Coppin, B. F. Lee, C. T. Shaffer and others will deliver addresses eulogizing the founder. Rev. Dr. Beal, of Hannibal, Mo., will deliver an address to the religious societies next Thursday night, and the following evening the joint literary societies will celebrate their anniversary. Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, secretary of missions, will preach the baccalaureate sermon. A convocation of the presidents of the various schools of the denomination will be held June 13, with Prof. John R. Hawkins presiding. The next day Dr. William Hayes Ward, editor of the New York Independent, will deliver an address, and on Thursday morning the graduating classes will be awarded diplomas. Dr. Booker T. Washington will deliver an address in the afternoon. Negroes in Gotham are Making Good. Continued From First Page. This Hariem constituency has mainly come from the downtown sections, and the churches located there are said to feel the exodus. Indeed, Bethel A. M. E. Church, in Twenty-fifth street, may have to do like her Baltimore namesake—move unnown. A LEADER IN JOURNALISM. One has to regard New York as especially a newspaper city. Surface cars, subway trains and elevated cars are all alike crowded with readers of the many newspapers in all languages published there. When one contemplates this neverending throng of traveling newspaper readers he will think if they are workers, why are they not at their work now, but New York has different times and different duties for its vast army of workers, and that explains why traffic is always heavy. Negro journalism seems to have reached its highest development in New York. You can find in the New York Age, the Amsterdam News and the Crisis, three of the best publications edited by the race. Then there is Nathan B. Dodson, who happens to find time from his multiplicity of duties to edit a syndicated page for race papers. This page; which is sold at a very small cost, is not appreciated by the mass of publishers of race papers, many of whom are still sticking to the old-time plate matter. Mr. Dodson, who is employed by the American Press Association, says that he could sell two pages at but very little more than the cost of one, if the editors would only see the value of cooperating with him. With their co-operation he says he can add many new features. THE NEW YORK AGE. A visit to the office of the New York Age showed that Mr. Fred R. Moore, its publisher, was still at the helm. Since taking charge of the Age, Mr. Moore has made many improvements in the paper. He is ably assisted in its management by Lester A. Walton, who edits the dramatic page and does other important stunts for the paper, and Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who is the editorial writer. James B. Peterson, who was associated with T. Thomas Fortune in the publication of the Age, is the treasurer of the company. This quartette comprises the foremost combination in race journalism. The Amsterdam News, which has its office in Harlem, is a lusty youngster boasting a large circulation. Its publisher, James Anderson, started the paper, some months ago, with many misgivings. He is assisted in the editing of the paper by George W. Harris and T. Thomas Fortune, both of whom were formerly connected with the Age. The Crisis, edited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, is aid to be enjoying a great measure of prosperity. It is published in the Evening Post Building. JOURNALISTS WELL PAID. Over in Brooklyn reside two of the most capable women journalists of the race. One is Mrs. Lydia C. Smith, who is connected with the Brooklyn Eagle, and Mrs. M. C. Lawton, who furnishes copy for the Brooklyn Standard-Union. All in all, New York has the best-paid newspaper workers in the race, and it should make the publishers of other cities wake up to the fact that capable newspaper workers should be paid a living wage for services rendered. One cannot end a mention of New York with stating that Hon. Charles W. Anderson is the biggest man of the race in Gotham. He is Collector of Internal Revenue for the Wall Street district, and enjoys the confidence of the leading financiers of the city. That is hardly any big function that big New Yorkers are interested in that does not find Mr. Anderson as one of the leading spirits therein. will not see at any other school in the world. Dr. Booker T. Washington believes in making things practical, and they are practical I am here to say to you, and you will real all about it in another column. Judge Robert H. Terrell made the address, and many diplomas, certificates and prizes were awarded. The biggest prize will be the use of the education in practical life. I wish you could have seen that crowd of people. They were there from all over the country. The United States country, and then from the country country. I never saw so much style and fashion in my life. Old women, young women, old dudes, young dudes. Educated and uneducated all mingled together for one time. Several thousand people were on the campus unable to get inside of the large chapel, and some had no desire to get in, but they just wanted to be able to say "I has been to the school closing." I heard two women talking: "Mary Jane, is you gwine in yonder?" "No indeed I is not, I feered I'll faint." "Is you?" Tell, you see; I has dem heats. I could just fill a paper with expressions I heard, but then the commencement was fine, and I congratulate them. Major Ramsey was looking his best, and without a doubt he is a great man in the schoolroom or on the grounds in charge of boys. He knows his business, then right next to him comes Captain Austin, and he is a man of much ability. He is a regular United States Army soldier. N. D. Thompson was looking fine, and then there was Emmett J. Scott, the executive secretary of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was a busy as could be. He was doing his work. Prof. J. R. E. Lee wore a smile that would compare with that of the "Gold Dust Twins", and I don't blame him. You see, he is at the head of the literary department of the school, and his work was showing up well. He could not help but feel happy at the results. He is a great man, and I want you to know him also. He is worth knowing. Go to his big meeting next month in St. Louis, in July. Prof. Lee is president. I am told you all about it in a letter in February or March, and will not enter into details now. I think I will have to bring this letter to a close, but I am not through talking about Tuskegee Institute. I had the pleasure of meeting D. H. C. Scott, M.D. in Montgomery, and many others, but time will not allow me to talk about them. I am in this place, and would like to tell you. The people here celebrated emancipation Saturday. May 28 is the big day here, but it was on Sunday, hence they used Saturday. They could not account for it, but this is the day they celebrate. I was met by T. W. Rivers, the undertaker, and carried about twenty miles through the country visiting the various picnics and other celebrations. I went to one place where a man was doing a land office business selling whiskey and beer, although this a dry State. He was just raking in money, and when he was a little idle he shook hands with me and said, "I will give you $2.00 to make a speech to these people." I paid my respects to the custom of celebrating. I moved along to another celebration. This was at a church. I wish you could have seen the preacher, as he was dead drunk himself, but he called the people into the church and had me to make a few remarks and gave me a collection of fifty cents. I certainly did enjoy the picnics and seeing the people having a good time. Returning to Hurtshoro in the afternoon or early in the evening, I went with the big crowd to see the train go by. I saw big men sitting around on the streets enjoying life. White men playing checkers, dominoes and other things right on the street. They are friendly people down here and I enjoyed myself. I would like to tell you more, but time will not permit me. MONEY FOR ARMORY. Chicago, Ill., May 29.—The Legislature has appropriated $100,000 for an armory for the Eighth Illinois Regiment, to be located at Thirty-ninth and State streets. Mr. Edward Green, who introduced the bill appropriating the money, was tendered a banquet by the citizens a few days ago. Bennings Notes Bennings; D. C., May 31—Sunday was Trustees Day at Ward's A. M. E. Ch., and a good collection was raised. Rev. G. Oliver Wing preached two fine sermons. "The May Feast" was a grand success, by Mrs. Julia Gross. Hundreds of people visited Bennings May 30, Decoration Day. Rev. Tyler, of Jones M. E. Church, is doing well. They are arranging to make some repairs on their parsonage. Lo ge Holds Annual Services Mt. Friendship, Del., May 31.—The annual thanksgiving services of Love and Union Lodge of Odd Fellows were held at Mt. Friendship A. M. E. Church. Rev. Edward Tiley, of Cheswold, Del., preached the sermon, and Rev. William Steward read the Scripture lesson. Messrs. Edward Miller and Clarence Garrett are two of the hardest workers in the lodge. Mr. John Stevens was called to the bedside of his wife, who was taken suddenly ill. Dr. Young is attending her. Rev. Edward Tiley, his sister and Mr. Pery Anderson were entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Y. Garrett. A MORNING RECITAL The choir of the new Bethel A. M. E. Church, under the direction of Mr. John Willis Brown, presented Mr. William H. Reed, baritone, of Boston, Mass., in a Mendelsson Song Recital at the morning hour of last Sunday. This being the first Recital of this nature ever held in any of our churches at that hour, plainly shows that the public in general approves and appreciates good things. This was demonstrated by the very large congregation which filled the main auditorium. The pastor laid the foundation with a most fitting and appropriate address on the Higher Branches of Music, and its great worth in and among our people and churches, which simply inspired every soul to lift up its voice in songs of praise to God, after which Prof Dungee, organist, and choir rendered the first part of the programme which was done in a masterly style. Mr. Reed made a great impression upon the musical people of Baltimore at his first recital on the Sunday previous, therefore when he appeared with us felt perfectly at home and his renditions of the masters' work was done in great style, showing that he had complete control of the situation. His articulation and attack with expression shows that he has had careful trainiag. Let us hope that we may hear more of him in the future Mr. Ulysses G. Chambres, altho one of the youngest organisms in this city, showed great skill in his accompanying, and also his rendition of difficult selections. It can be safely said that he knew exactly what to do especially in the Bach Fugue, which requires great skill in footwork and sudden changes in combination, let us give honor where honor is due. Director Brown made a stronger plea for a closer relationship among Baltimore's musical people and has promised some nice things in store for us in the future. I do not think the music lovers need fear to trust their ability with him as he has proved himself before one of the greatest musical audiences in Baltimore. Let us help these young men in their efforts to bring to our people what they deserve in higher branches of music. Preparing For The Business League (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Little Rock, Ark., May 31.—The business men of this city and State are making every preparation for the twelfth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, which will be held in August next. Governor George W. Donaghey, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and others are also manifesting great interest in helping to make the gathering a most successful one.

Superintendent Busy (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Rossville, Md., May 28.—Sunday was a special day at St. Stephen A. M. E. Church. Rev. T. R. Sinkfield, their new pastor, delivered a very impressive sermon. Mr. Thos. J. Holliday, superintendent of Trinity A. M. E. Sunday School, Baltimore, was present with us, looking over the Sunday SSchool work in the interest of the District Superintendent, Mr. George Sumner, who was unable to be present. He spoke to the children on the subject of being useful in their homes, Sunday School and church. The work is in a fairly good condition. OBITUARY William Stanley Hazelton.

Holmes Has Placed the Organization in Position to Regain Much of Its Former Prestige. Management of Old Regime to Be Made Known to the Order. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Richmond, Va.—The True Reformers have again been given a chance to fully rehabilitate by the insurance commissioner of this state renewing the license of the organization to do business. There is rejoicing in every state where there is a fountain. After a strenuous period, which revealed the loyalty of the members of the organizations throughout the brotherhood and the splendid spirit of the white people, especially of Virginia, to JOHN H. HARRIS help the fraternity to "come back," the order will undoubtedly cause a new phase of management of affairs which have made it the cynosure of the conservative element of the race and the business world. Accepting the stupendous task of adjusting the business of the organization to the extent that it would survive the deplorate mis management of the past and, finally, through the assistance of thousands of members and W. P. Burrell, who is a recognized authority on insurance matters among our own people, Grand Master A. W. Holmes has ultimately restored the organization to the position where there is a chance of placling it on the same business basis. A number of the members of the board of directors are for the revealing of the gallery transactions of the officials of the old regime, and they will not let up until the people shall know everything. Concerning the disposition of sald officials now in office, Mr. Holmes, when interviewed by a representative of the press in part said: "I am determined to purge the order of all uncleanliness and will not cease until the people will be given the true status of affairs and their every interest protected. "New members can now be taken in, and a dispensation of $3 has been granted to former members. The office force has struggled valiantly and raised over $1,200 on account of the information fund." The following editorial from the News-Leader, Richmond's popular afternoon paper, is interesting. It says: "We very sincerely congratulate the True Reformers on the renewal of their license to do business by the insurance department of the state. The zeal, energy and self sacrifice of the Negroes in rehabilitating their great institution is deserving of all praise and commendation. The definite destruction and ruin of this great Negro organization would have been a terrible blow to the race and the prestige of the race. For years this order has been pointed to as an evidence of the Negro's capacity to build, to construct and to achieve. It has rendered an immense service to the race. "There is much that it can do in the future. The spirit with which their people have come to their assistance and enabled the order to survive the calamitous misfortunes which had seemed to have overwhelmed it gives promise not only of the order's survival, but assurance that, chastened by adversity, it will go forward and perform still greater things for its people and enjoy still wider respect and consideration." Ambassador Bryce Conscientious. Ambassador James Bryce of Great Britain in a recent address to the members of the Y. M. C. A. In Washington is quoted as having said in the course of his speech: "Our progenitors did your progenitors a grave injustice in bringing them into this country in a state of service, and it is our duty to do all in our power to make up for this injustice." He was accompanied by Mrs. Bryce. As he entered and left the ball the audience arose while the band played "God Save the King." Trustees' Report Encourages Flourishing Brooklyn Church at Reunion. One of the interesting and happy events in church circles in Brooklyn during the week ending May 27 was the annual reunion of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, of which the Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss is the able and efficient pastor. The objects of the reunion briefly stated are to give the members an opportunity to exchange Christian greetings, to add new members in getting acquainted, to reach the unreached, to afford delinquent members a chance to pay up and to the church membership at large to renew its loyalty to the cause. Dr. Moss presided over the literary program, some features of which were a brief historical sketch of the church by the clerk, Peter H. Fisher, Sr.; vocal solos by Mrs. Laura Bowie and Mr. H. B. Foster, special anthems by the choir, led by Professor P. A. Myers; trustees' annual report by Secretary Graham H. Carter and greetings from the Sunday school by Superintendent N. Barnett Dodson. The trustees' report showed that over $5,000 had been collected from April, 1910, to April, 1911, and that the table offering had increased $500 over the previous year and the penny collection $200. The Sunday school collection was $671, with a balance on hand of $120 above expenses. The caterer for the occasion was It. Lincoln Powell, who, with a committee of ladies, served an appetizing supper. The table decorations were of pink trimmings around miniature protected candles. Trustee Charles J. Crowder had charge of the dining room. EXECUTIVE BOARD TO MEET. Will Hold Important Session In Meridian Early In June. The Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the national Baptist convention, has called the executive board of the convention to meet in Meridian, Miss., during the sessions of the Sunday school congress, which begin in that town on Wednesday. June 7, to hold for six days. Among those who are expected to attend are: Rev. W. G. Parks, D. D. Philadelphia; Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, Louisville, Ky.; Field Secretary, William Beckham, Dr. C. H. Parrish; Rev. A. A. Cosey, Rev. S. E. Griggs, Dr. E. W. D. Isaacs, Miss Nannle Helen Burroughs, David Abner, Jr., and many distinguished laymen in church work. Important matters will be discussed relative to the national convention, which meets in Pittsburg in September. THRIFTY AFRO-AMERICANS MAKE GOOD IN KANSAS CITY Accumulated Wealth Through Sound Real Estate Investments. The attention of the public has recently been called to several successful Afro-Americans in Kansas City, Mo., who have made their money in business and professional life within the past twenty-five years. Perhaps the wealthiest of those mentioned is John Lang, who made much money as a concert manager and invested it to good advantage in real estate. His fortune is now estimated at $200,000. J. D. Bowser, principal of one of the public schools, has also turned his earnings to good account. Besides owning the house in which he lives, Mr. Bowser owns several other properties of considerable value in the city. His estate is valued at $100,000. Dr. M. E. Lee, proprietor and owner of the Palace drug store, is one of the most successful business men of the town. The Druggist Co-operative Mercantile company is also owned by Dr. Lee. While he has been eminently successful in business, the bulk of his wealth stands as the direct result of his ability to make wise investments. Mrs. Lucinda Day owns three story brick buildings, besides other houses and lots, with an estimated valuation of $50,000. Among other successful persons who have risen beyond the bread and butter competence are Principal G. N. Grisham of the Lincoln High school; Dan Lucas, Dr. J. E. Perry and Leon Jordan, a contractor. General Conference Delegates. At the ninety-first annual meeting of the New York state conference of the A. M. E. church, recently held in Bethel church. New York, the following persons were elected delegates to the general conference, which meets in 1012; Rev. Dr. R. C. Ranson, pastor of Bethel church. New York; Rev. Dr. A. R. Cooper, former pastor of Bridge street church, Brooklyn, and the Rev. Joseph Stiles, presiding elder of the Long Island district. Women's Clubs to Mast In New Haven The next annual convention of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs will be held in New Haven, Conn., for three days, beginning on Wednesday, July 12.

Nesbit "They shall walk every one in The valley path is broad and smooth, with flowers either side, And place of shade and place of sun where one would fain ablide The valley has the lure of peace, of pleasure and content— But yonder through the mountain walls by which the vale is pent There winds another path that climbs by cliff and crag and peak Until it meets the bending sky, far as the eye may seek. And it is dark, and it is rough, but it is little worn, For few the feet of fearless men the mountain path has borne It hurries from the drowsy shade, it leaves the meadows green, It finds the frowning chasm walls that it may creep between But it climbs on and on and on, forever reaching high Until at last it finds the height that shoulders to the sky. But we are tired; the valley breathes its song of lazy rest, And we would not strive on and on until we reach the crest, For here are birds and honeyed blooms, and here are sun and shade; But there in misty nothingness the barren summits fade, But yet the path gleams fair and white against the mountain side But who would struggle up and up when here he may abide? One valley here—but one, a place that drones in dull contents; The climbing path tells of the men who struggled as they went. Who battled on and battled up until they won the way And found a wondrous land outspread for such brave souls as they. Our valley of content, in truth, is pleasing to the sight— ```markdown ``` BRYANT AND THE EM- BARGO. During the early years of the nineteenth century England was at war with France, and sometimes had difficulty in keeping her navy supplied with the right kind of men. There were many desertions, and frequently the deserters would find service on board American ships. Whereupon the English fell into the habit of overhauling American ships and searching them for deserters. This the Americans did not like, especially when it happened, as it sometimes did, that American citizens were impressed into the English service. At the instigation of President Jefferson congress passed the Embargo act, which prohibited American vessels from trading with foreign countries. Thus England could not buy certain much needed American articles, as she had been doing. But the Embargo act was very unpopular with many Americans, and the feeling on their part against President Jefferson was very bitter. William Cullen Bryant, then a youth of thirteen, wrote a lengthy tirade against him, in the course of which he said: "Go, wretch, resign the presidential chair, Disclose thy secret measures, foul or fair; Mid the wild wastes of Louis- ianian bogs; Or, where Chio rolls her turbid stream, Dig for huge bones, thy glory and thy theme, Go, scan, philosopher, thy * * = charms, And sink supinely in her sable arms." Bryant was becomingly ashamed of this when he grew up, and the poem will not be found among his collected works. (Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Davies.) Reason as regular.

Ferocious Knives Wielded by the Natives of Hindustan. The weapon common to every part of Hindustan, so as to deserve the name of the national arm, is the "katar." This is a broad, two edged dagger, the hilt of which is formed something like an L, the hand grasping the crossbar, which is generally double, while the side bars extend on each side of the wrist. Some kattars are made with five blades which unite into one, but by squeezing together the crossbars diverge like the fingers of a hand when the thrust has been given. Other kattars are made in sets of two or even three, of diminishing sizes, the blades of the larger being hollow and forming sheaths for the smaller. Some of the southern Indian kurtas, known as "death grippers," are immense weapons, nearly two feet long in the blade, and the hilts are a mass of fantastic scrollwork and mythological molsters, the cobra with expanded hood figuring largely. There is also the "hich'hwa," or scorpion's sting, a doubly curved dagger; the "khanjari," a larger form of the same, and the "peshkabz," or hunting knife. But none of these elaborate weapons has about it the terribly "businesslike" look of the Khyber knife k'hura, with its ponderous single edged, tapering blade and pliant tiger bit—Gamman's Journal.

COMMENCEMENT AT TUSKEGEE Institution Founded and Made Famous by Booker T. Washington Rounds Out Thirty Years' Work Amid Brilliant Scenes, Surrounded by Many Distinguished Visitors. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Tuskegee, Ala.—Tuskegee Institute's thirtieth annual commencement, which began May 21 and closed May 25, was the most successful in the history of the institution. The number of academic diplomas, industrial certificates from the various industrial divisions of the school and certificates from the Phelps Hall Bible Training school totaled 253. The large number of visitors present included distinguished men of both races from various sections of the country. On Sunday, May 21, at 1:30 p. m. students, teachers and visitors marched in a body to the institute chapel, where they listened to the commence- R. AGIE JONES, SALUTATORIAN. ment sermon, eloquently preached by the Right Rev. J. C. Kilgo of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Following the sermon Bishop Kilgo addressed a few earnest words to the members of the graduating class, who arose in a body to receive his blessing. On Monday night the graduating exercises of the Phelps Hall Bible Training school were held. This was the eighteenth anniversary. The alumni address was made by the Rev. William E. Burton of the class of 1900 and the annual address by the Rev. W. A. Blockwell of Montgomery, Alm. The Trinity church (Boston) oratorical contest was held in the chapel on Tuesday night. The prizes were $25 and $15. A large and enthusiastic audience was present. Commencement day. Thursday, May 25, was given over entirely to the exercises of the graduating class and was divided into two sessions, the morning session, which began at 10:30, and the afternoon session, which began at 2:30. Fourteen years ago Tuskegee departed entirely from the traditional commencement and in an old pavilion had illustrative material brought to the platform and there explained to the audiences which gathered to hear the youthful speakers. Instead of such essays as "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy," "After School What" etc., the A group of people holding umbrellas stand in a row on a street, with trees and a lamppost in the background. BENIOR CLASS MARCHING FROM CHAPEL ON COMMENCEMENT DAY. students were directed to write essays on subjects dealing with their everyday school life. The salutatory, "The Care and Feeding of Cows For Milk Production." was delivered by Ace Jones of Thomasville, Ga. He told in a simple, straightforward way of the things he had learned in the dairying division of the school. By way of illustration, two cows were brought upon the stage—one a fine Jersey and the other a poor "scrub" cow. He demonstrated to the satisfaction of his hearers that, although the Jersey cow was more costly than the "scrub" in the beginning. she was by far the better investment. The salutatory was in part as follows: Dear trustees, you who have made it possible for us to reach the goal for which we have been serving for the past seven years, the class of 1911 extends to you a hearty welcome. Dear teachers, you who have kept watch over us and guided us through these many years, we welcome you. Dear friends, you have stood by us in our struggles and hardships, we welcome you here to this institution. In the course of these exercises and our career, forward we demonstrate to you that the hearty support you have given us been used to the best advantage in making useful men and women we shall feel that we have begun in a small way to pay the debt that we owe you and this institution. One of the ways in which you have helped us and in which we shall try to pay this debt is through dairying. I will give you an idea of how cows are fed and cared for in the school's dairy husbandry division. In this division we have the following feeds from which to compound our ration: Cottonseed meal, cornmeal, wheat shorts and rape, corn silage, cottonseed hulls, hay, cabbage and wheat bran. If cottonseed hulls are chosen the hulls and milks are mixed two parts of hulls to every three parts of silage, and each part of the mixture forty pounds of milk are mixed. The meal and the mixture are mixed, one part of cornmeal to two parts of wheat shorts and six parts of cottonseed meal, and each cow is given about one pound of this mixture to every four pounds of milk she produces. Most of the other speakers used illustrations also. "Building a Closed Stairway," by Jesse O. Thomas, a graduate in carpentry, was illustrated with a model of the stairway, which had been placed upon the platform. Similarly illustrated were "Opportunities For the Negro Dressmaker In Her Community." by Flora Boaz of Kansas City, Kan. "Some Simple Operations In Electricity," by Victor Daniels of the island of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, and "Making Over Old Hats," by Estelle Williams of West Point Miss. "Extension Work In Macon County," by Henderson Wells, Waugh, Aln., and "Carrying the School Into the Home." by Ophelia Hamilton, Columbus, Miss., while not illustrated, were well thought out and interesting. The valedictory, "Modern Methods In Education," was delivered by Julius Freeman of Wilson, N. C. He said in part: Until a comparatively recent date our educational system had no particular end. It was thought that general knowledge would enable a person to be a successful artist or professional man. With this idea in mind the studies had little or no connection with reality. Arithmetic was taught with no application to real substances. Children were told that sixteen ounces equaled one pound, and yet they had no conception of a pound or even how to operate scales. Other systems of weights and measures were taught in this same abstract manner, and problems based upon this theoretical knowledge were solved to the utter satisfaction of the pupil and teacher. Likewise grammar had no connection with ordinary speech. The kindergarten carries the modern idea of teaching through play. No instruction is given from the book. The children are taught to weave and make simple designs through the spirit of play. In short, the kindergarten offers training under the proper conditions. The kindergarten school serves as a bridge for the children of the immediate community A. B. JULIUS FREEMAN. VALEDICTORIAN. to pass from the kindergarten to Tuskegee proper. The play element is lessened and a more definite shape given to their lives and character by introducing carpentry, gardening, cooking and sewing into the inner classes. Dear teachers, we leave you with many regrets, for we realize and appreciate how closely your lives have been associated with ours. Our troubles have been your troubles, and when we would have done unwisely you guided us with hands that were firm, yet gentle. Through it all you have striven to give us instruction that would prepare us for useful life. We shall endeavor to show in our lives the result of your teaching. Dear principal, the class of 1911 bids you farewell. We shall strive to reflect in our lives the fundamentals of education that you have so wisely down for the benefit of humanity. We shall always remember the dignity of labor and to do with our hands find to do. Our lives shall prove to the world the competency of industrial education in raising our standard to a higher life of service. Classmates, we must bid farewell to all these scenes made dear by pleasant and helpful associations. We must leave behind us the friends who have contributed so much to our lives, and, hardest of all, we must bid each other farewell. Tuskegee is sending us out. We go where duty tails, and, though we shall often be weary with overcoming difficulties, yet let us keep ever in mind our motto, "There is no victory without conflict." Let us do our best and trust in God. Schoolmates, teachers and principal, the class of 1911 as a class bids you farewell. Following the valedictory, the commencement address was delivered by Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington. Then the diplomas were given out to the members of the graduating class by Principal Washington, and the meeting closed with the singing of the "Hallelujah Chorus" by the choir. New Odd Fellows' Temple Dedicated. McFarland lodge, No. 2802, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, is to be congratulated upon the successful completion of the new Odd Fellows' temple built under its direct supervision in Washington, Pa. The handsome edifice was duly dedicated on Sunday, May 23. THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER The church that will advertise that its minister is a human being, that he loves humanity, that its choir sings the old hymns and sings them well, that will welcome strangers, that will open up its pews cordially just as a man opens the door of his home to a friend—such a church will not have any trouble in keeping its pews well filled. George Washington has had attached to his name an advertisement that has lived about 170 years, because he was a silp of a boy when his father accused him of cutting down a cherry tree, and he acknowledged that he had done so by saying: "Yes, I did it, father; I cannot tell a lie." There has never been recorded, so far as I know, any statement contradicting that George Washington said this, so the advertisement may be accepted as a truthful advertisement. Many a merchant thinks he cannot afford to advertise when he looks at the big space used by big advertisers. He forgets that those same big advertisers had to start in a small way—had to cream before they walked. No man should be discouraged about starting advertising in a small way. It is the only way he should start, and it will pay for example: Two advertisers started using two-inch advertisements in two newspapers in a big city some twelve years ago. The advertisements ran three times a week, and they paid for position. Their announcements always appeared on the same page and they were there regularly, fall and winter, spring and summer. Today both advertisers are doing a very large business and each is worth more than a million dollars. Underlying Principle of Successful Advertising H. N. McKinney Tells Harvard Students. The students of the graduate school of business administration at Harvard university were told some facts about advertising recently by H. N. McKinney of Philadelphia. He took for his topic, "Advertising a Power in the Molding of Thought." Mr. McKinney is connected with N. W. Ayer & Son, an advertising agency of Philadelphia. "Advertising is the art of creating a desire, or increasing an already existing desire, and fixing it upon some certain article until that article is purchased. Advertising is the silent salesman, repeating the selling argument until it fastens itself in the mind of the reader. Advertising is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is not an easy road to success. It is a hard, painstaking study of human nature in all its phases, and its success is an evidence of a correct understanding of the human mind. "The underlying principle of all advertising is always the same—the application of the principle is rarely twice alike. The principle is the creation of thought, and the molding of that thought in a given direction. It matters not whether the article advertised is a railroad bond, a diamond bracelet or a package of food; the object of the advertiser is to create a desire for that particular thing so intense that a sale follows. "While the principle is unchanging and unchangeable, the application of it must be fitted to each individual case, and not a small part of many advertising failures is due to the assumption that because a certain line of advertising has been successful in one case it will be in another. The right principle was wrongly applied, with resulting failure. "The first and most important requisite of all, advertising is honesty; no success can be permanent unless honesty is the foundation upon which everything else is built. The article advertised must be honest in its manufacture. In its appearance and in its price, while the advertising must be honest and truthful in all statements and in all impressions and in inferences. "I believe that at least one-half of the hundreds of millions of dollars annually expended in advertising in all the United States is utterly wasted, and this is very largely because of the popular idea that anybody can attend to the advertising of a business." * "it never hurts any business to quote high prices on high quality."—Profitable Advertising. The Wise Salesman. The wise salesman is not the man who has a line of talk that would "sell kindling wood in hades." The wise one would market his kindling wood where he could hope for a repeat order. Sufficient Cause. He—I'm the man who introduced them to each other. LESSON TEXT—Hosea 14. MEMORY VERSES—4-6. GOLDEN TEXT—"Thou Art a God. Ready to Pardon, Gracious and Merciful, Slow to Anger."—Neh. 9:17. TIME—Hosea began to prophesy toward the close of the reign of Jeroboam II. in Israel, whose reign closed B. C. 73 (Beecher), or 738 (Hastings). His prophetic life extended into the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, who came to the throne (Beecher), B. C. 732 (Hastings), 77. PLACE-Hosea was a prophet of the northern kingdom. PROPHETS-Isaiah and Micah; perhaps Amos. What was the iniquity of Israel from which Hosea exhorted her to return unto the Lord? The degradation of religion into a sensual and revolting worship of idols, and the foolish and weakening separation from the Southern Kingdom. The period was one of frightful violence and confusion; all ties of social life were loosened; immorality, irreligion, superstition, panic and despair contributed to the common misery and ruin; it hardly needed prophetic insight to foresee the inevitable end in the total dissolution of the state. Their reliance upon Assyria for salvation instead of upon Jehovah; their reliance upon Egypt, the land of horses; their reliance upon idols, the work of their own hands. All the inner woes of the nation sprung from its idolatry, and all its woes from without sprung from the mischievous foreign alliances against which the prophets continually protested. Note that this is more than a confession; it is a promise of amendment, a vow of total abstinence from these sins. God promises to the repentant nation, promises for the past, forgiveness. I will heal their backsliding, that horrible disease of apostasy from the Father's love; for the present. love; I will love them freely, "without money and without price," for what price could pay for this inestimable blessing? for the future, ever-increasing progress and blessedness; God will be to his restored people an enriching, stimulating, reviving dew, causing them to throw out new branches, strike new roots deeper into the soil, blossom in beauty and fragrance, and bring forth fruit in abundance. What is the significance of the three comparisons used of the restored people? 1. They are to be like the lily, in its purity and beauty. 2. They are to be like Lebanon, rooted deep in the earth, with its foothills stretching forth like roots; or perhaps the reference is to the firmly rooted cedars of Lebanon; at any rate the comparison signifies strength, which is to be added to beauty. 3. They are to be like the olive tree, which is not lovely as the lily but is gnarled and ugly; nor strong and imposing like the mountain and its great cedars, but feeble and insignificant to the eye; but it is green when other trees are bare, and it brings forth abundance of rich fruit. The confident statement (whether made by Jehovah, or, as some commentators and both authorized and revised versions hold, by Ephraim himself) that Ephraim (that is, Israel, the leading tribe being put for the entire Northern Kingdom) has nothing more to do with idols; he is through with them; they are laid away with his unhappy past. This actually happened after the exile; the returned Jews had had enough of idolatry, and never again lapsed into that sin. Hosea certainly did not mean, as he is so often misunderstood to mean, that Israel was so firmly fixed in idolatry that the nation could never be moved from that iniquity. The prophet was addressing Judah, the Southern Kingdom, and blinding her hold aloof from her idolatrous neighbor and let him alone, lest she herself contract the foul disease. The sum of wisdom, according to Hosea, is that wisdom consists of three things: Understanding, knowing the things that Hosea had been setting forth, namely, God's dealings with his children. Understanding that God's ways are always right, straight, allike when they spread themselves out in an unbroken level for the pious, and when they oppose themselves in rocky stumbling-blocks to the ungodly. Hosea began his warnings at the point where we feel the most pride. Our nation is proud of its wealth and power, but these two things lead to worldiness, which is our greatest peril. What would be the substance of Hosea's message to the nation and to each one of us? "Take with you words, and return unto the Lord." Our sins must be acknowledged, humbly before God and frankly before every one who should hear the confession for any reason. Then we are simply, in Christ's strength, to obey Sam Jones' off-repeated injunction, "Quit your mennness!" We are to "cease to do evil, learn to do well." There is a story of an ancient king who lighted a lamp and had it hung in his palace; he then sent heralds forth to bring into his presence every criminal and rebel, that they might obtain parden. Those that came while the lamp was burning were set free; but those that delayed till the lamp had gone out, or altogether neglected the invitation, met with a terrible death. Unlike this, God forever holds forth his offer of mercy, and his loving heart always years after the sinner; but with each wilful delay, we harden our hearts till at last they are fixed in the ways of sin.
