THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XX NO. 8. ULRICH ASKS FOR MORE TIME Assailant of Dr. Booker T. Washington Says He Is Not Yet Ready For Trial DR. WASHINGTON CANCELS ENGAGEMENTS In Order That He May Be Present-And Urge Case Against New York Thug (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) New York City, Oct. 17—Harry A. Ulrich the drunken thug who so brutally attacked Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee educator, on a public street in this city last March, was "brought to book" in the Court of Special Sessions, Part V, today, Judges Zeller, Mayo and Ryan presiding. Dr. Washington was in court to prosecute Ulrich; present also were his secretary, Emmett J. Scott, Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue; for the Second District of New York; Fred R. Moore, editor oand publisher of The New York Age; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, anditor for the Navy Department, Washington, D. C.; George W. Harris, of the Amsterdam News, and other of Dr. Washington's friends. The people of the State of New York were represented by Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith. Dr. Washington's personal attorney, Wilford H. Smith, was present as consulting attorney. Ulrich has continued to have this case delayed each time it has been called for trial, hoping that Dr. Washington would drop the prosecution; today, through his counsel, he again pleaded for delay, claiming that he had not been able get his witnesses into court—this despite the fact that he has had seven months to do so. District Attorney Smith opposed the motion, claiming that Ulrich had no witnesses, and that his plea for delay was simply an effort to avoid the consequences of his brutal and uncalled-for assault. The Judges decided they would give him one more chance, and have set the case down for trial Monday, November 6. Dr. Washington has notified the District Attorney's office that he will cancel the series of engagements he has for Wisconsin and the West, made long since, so as to be in court and prosecute Ulrich. The assault occurred several mo th ago, and Ulrich at that time told contradictory stories of what led to it. To the police he said that he had taken Dr. Washington for a burglar, but to the reporters he said that Dr. Washington had insulted Mrs. Ulrich, his wife. Ulrich however was never married to the woman he claimed was his wife, and the real wife of Ulrich, who lives in New Jersey and was deserted by him several years ago, confronted him in court when he was today arraigned for trial.

JORDAN DISFRANCHISEMENT GETS A BODY BLOW Oklahoma Officials Get Severe Sentence For Not Allowing Colored Muskogee, Okla., October 19. The recent conviction in the federal court of J. J. Guinn and Frank Beall, election officials in Kingfisher county, who were charged with denying to colored men the right to vote, has stirred the Democratic machine of this State. It is alleged that the convicted men even refused to give the colored men the test provided in the "grandfather" clause, and they were fined $100 and sentenced to the Leavenworth prison for a year and a day. Their cases have been appealed, and as the legislature has already spent thousands of dollars of the people's money in the defense of the officials, the machine will go to the last ditch in trying to save the two men. The conviction of the two men is significant as nearly every State, where colored men are denied the right to vote, officials even refuse to register them under a property qualification or those who could meet the test under the "grandfather" or educational clause. SEPARATE CARS FOR RACES In keeping with the dictum of the State Corporation Commission, separate cars have been placed on the streets here for colored and white passengers. As the cars run 15 minutes apart, each race has a car only every half hour, and the whites are already kicking.

J., Oct. 20—The forty-fourth annual session of the Grand encampment of the Order of Moses, which opened here Tuesday night with a reception at St. James A. M. E. Church, came to an end tonight with a reception to the House of Princes, the highest department of the order. The annual reports of the grand master, Solomon Bond; the grand treasurer, Andrew Spriggs, and the grand secretary, James H. Seward, all of Baltimore, showed that the order was in a flourishing condition. Rev. A. L. Martin preached the annual sermon Tuesday night, and a big banquet was held at Fitzgerald's Auditorium Wednesday night. There are several hundred delegates in attendance, including 100 from Baltimore. METHODISM MAKING GREAT STRIDES Its Future Greatness Will Depend Upon Loyalty of the Young People ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE A GREAT SUCCESS Bishop Clinton Tells What Methodism Is Doing For The Backward Races. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Toronto, Can, October 19.—The fourth Ecumenical Methodist Conference has ended, and Methodists of all colors and shades of opinion are now on their homeward trip to various parts of the world. There were upwards of 100 colored Methodists in attendance, of whom more than 60 were delegates. Besides the address of welcome by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, an address by Rev. J. A. Bray, president of Miles Memorial College, Birmingham, Ala.; and the presiding over the conference at one of its sessions by John C. Dancy, of Washington, a number of the representatives of the race took part in the program. Prof. D. J. Jordan, president of Kittrell College, read an interesting paper on "Special Work for Young People." "The Future of Methodism" said he, "will depend upon the loyalty of its young people and their ability and willingness to serve. It is our duty to open to them every door of Christian usefulness, and encourage them to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise." "The reports of the prosperity and growth of Methodism throughout the world are indeed gratifying, and we greatly rejoice in the heroic endeavors and the splendid achievements of our leaders of today, many of whom are already venerable with age and with service. But we must look to the future. The phenomena of the rising and the setting sun are alike beautiful. When nature paints the western sky in a thousand hues no artist ever conceived, blending them with such harmony as to make the picture glow and light up as with the pressure of divinity, we cannot but stand in admiration and awe; but even as we gaze enraptured we are made to remember that the day is done, the chill and darkness of the night are approaching and all this glory and beauty and magnificence are but nature's benediction. But when we turn our faces to the East and behold the rising sun, there are not only glory and beauty and magnificence, but the additional elements of hope, of truth, and of promise. "And so, what Methodism has already accomplished by its present leaders is but the glory of the setting sun. He who would behold Methodism at work, Methodism conquering, Methodism triumphant, let him turn his face to the dawn and contemplate what shall yet be brought to pass by the young Methodists as they shall arise out of every nation, every race, and every condition, trained in body, in mind and in spirit for every Christian service. BISHOP CLINTON'S ADDRESS Bishop George W. Clinton, of the A. M. E. Zion Church delivered a well-recieved address on "The Mission of Methodism to Backward Races." It follows in part: BISHOP G. W. CLINTON "In her incipiency and during the days of her early struggle and triumphs, Methodism caught the view-point of the Christ and dreamt of a world conquered for Him. With a splendid faith she transcended the narrow limitations of Calvinism, and in the spirit of the immortal Wesley, who declared that the world was his parrish, she went forth proclaiming a gospel of love and hope for the world. Methodism emphasized anew the worth and the genal spirit value of each individual.—One authority, quoted by Dr. John S. Simon, in his able and valuable Fernley Lecture, testifies that largely as a result of Methodist preaching in the eighteenth century all ranks of society recognized, the equality of every living being before Almighty God." "Methodism, moreover, believed in and proclaimed the power of the grace of God, manifested in Jesus Christ, and made operant through the Holy Ghost, to save, uplift and enable the lowest and the worst who might respond to it. If she holds to these great principles which were fundamental in the beginnings of her history, then she is eminently qualified to fulfill a spendid mission to the backward races. "What this mission is may be expressed in one brief but pregnant sentence: Pateint, Joving, Christlike leadership towards all that makes for the salvation and uplifting to complete manhood of the backward peoples. God's ideal is the same for all mankind. He aims at perfect manhood in Jesus Christ for every member of the race. "Let me suggest that apart from the high reasons growing out of our sense of Christian responsibility, there is another and perhaps, a utilitarian reason why we should fulfil this mission to these races. It is that the perfection of the race at large, of humanity, if you please, is delayed by these backward peoples. Of the heroes and worthies celebrated in the eleventh chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews, it is said that 'they without us should not be made perfect.' So the perfection of humanity shall be delayed until these races are brought to Christ. Shall we give outsides to the task? We shall lose nothing by it. Our own heavenward progress will not be retarded by our efforts to minister to the necessities of the unfortunate." Will Urge President (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Washington D.C. Oct. 19—Prominent men of the race will call upon President Taft as soon as he returns from his Western trip and renew the request that the president speak out in no uncertain tone against the evils of lynching. It is expected that the message of the president to Congress in December will contain some reference to the lynching question PRICE THREE CENT CYRUS FIELD ADAMS NOTED POLITICIAN, ILL Has Been Assistant Register of The Treasury For the Past Fourteen Years.

Washington, who was accompanied by a party of prominent and well known colored men from various portions of the country, came to an end here. Everywhere the distinguished educator received overwhelming demonstrations of regard and affection, mingled with exultant pride on the part of the Negro people. Equally cordial was the reception given him by representative white men in various places, notably the conference with Mayor Callaghan in San Antonio, the presentation free of cost of the city auditorium, a building seating more than 7,000 people, by the mayor of Houston, the more than cordial address by Mayor T. P. Wooldridge of Austin, the address of welcome by City Superintendent J. C. Lattimore at Waco and the perfectly frank yet friendly address of introduction by Hon. Chesley Adams, former county superintendent of public schools at Marshall. As on former occasions, Dr. Washington was accompanied by a party of distinguished Negroes, among them being Emmett J.

Group of Thrifty Spokane Citizens Organize and Incorporate Deer Lake Irrigated Orchards Project to Do Intensive Farming—Scientific Use of Water on Volcanic Ash Soil. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Spokane, Wash.-Of very great importance, yet not so widely known, is the work of the Deer Lake Irrigated Orchards company, an incorporated organization of investors, with headquarters at 248 Riverside avenue, Spokane. The officers of the company are: President, P. B. Barrow; vice president, F. A. Stokes; secretary, C. S. Barrow; treasurer, Charles S. Parker; trustees, F. E. Wilson, O. C. Groff and Robert Crump. The property of the company consists of 149 acres of rich farm land, situated on the shores of Deer lake, in Stevens county, for which the company paid $15,600. By means of a gasoline pumping plant the land has been irrigated and laid out in sections for fruit growing, truck gardening and for the general cultivation of a variety of farm products. The raising of winter apples, for which the soil is admirably adapted, will be one of the chief features of the nursery farm. The company gives employment to scores of men and women of our race. For the ingathering of the crops this fall the number employed probably reached 100. The promoters of the company are not novices, but men who have already achieved success in business. President P. B. Barrow is rated at $30,000. He lives on a beautiful tract of 200 acres across the lake opposite the company's property with a beach frontage of half a mile. F. E. Wilson, one of the trustees, owns 160 acres adjoining the company's property and shares shore ownership of the southwest end of the lake. He also has fifteen acres planted in orchards and resides in a beautiful dwelling with modern improvements. Vice President F. A. Stokes owns $20,000 worth of farm lands, including real estate in the city. Messrs. Parker and Barrow are partners in the printing business in Spokane. Their plant is fully equipped with typesetting machines, presses etc. They are publishers of the Spokane Citizen. They do an annual business of about $15,000. The outfit of THE HORSE RACE farming implements, with teams and farm buildings, cost thousands of dollars. The returns from the investment within the short period of two years since the formation of the company have justified the output. A few years ago it was said, "With the sun which shines on the soil of Washington and water there can be no such thing as failure in crops." Subsequent developments in nearly every county in the state have proved the truth of this assertion. Expert examination of the soil taken from the Deer Lake Irrigated Orchards proves it to be saturated with the properties which when they undergo the chemical changes caused by the introduction of water produce abundant plant food. The possibilities of volcanic ash soil, such as that possessed by this company, to produce plant life and sustain itself without wearing out is no longer a problem: Scientific methods of orcharding which are being employed by this company will produce definite results. The experience of fruit growers in other parts of this state under similar conditions to those at Deer Lake will be their experience. The element of chance and the caprice of nature are no longer stumbling blocks to the farmer who is equipped with the knowledge necessary to do intensive farming. The quantity, quality, size and color of the products are determined in advance by the scientific use of water on volcanic ash soil. Orders Directly From the King. The king's orders to correspondents of the Dallas. (Tex.) Express are the following: Do not write when you have nothing to say. Take subscriptions for $1 from September to Nov. I Send no matter to be paid for, but send the money with it. Stop silly writing. This is the ipse dixit of Editor W. B. King of the Dallas Express. It means what it says, for it is the king's decree. If old Jedediah Haymaster had really bitten all the tenpenny nails in two that people invariably mentioned when called upon to describe his characteristics and abilities, he would have accumulated quite a little scrap iron heap by the time he was sixty-five. As it was, what he had accumulated was the awed dislike of his townsmen and a collection of stocks, bonds and mortgages that would sink a ship. Jed Haymaster could make money with his eyes shut and one hand tied behind him. Make it he did, with no quarter for the innocent bystander. Having all these years of practice behind him, it was easy for him to indicate the letter to Mrs. Daw. Apolonia Daw had come to town a few years before as the bride of Henry Daw, who had died shortly after. His young widow had continued to reside in the pretty cottage Daw built for her, her small income sufficing for her quiet needs. Most of this income came in the shape of dividends from her stock in the Haymaster engine works. This stock, her husband had purchased cheap when old Jeddiah had started this, the tenth of his big enterprises, Jeddiah disliked women mixed up in his business affairs and entitled to participate in the annual meetings of stockholders—and, hesides, there was soon to be a large extra dividend. Whoever held Mrs. Daw's stock at that happy time naturally would get the fat dividend upon it. Therefore Jedediah wrote her that it had occurred to him that she might like to invest her money in government bonds or something else solid and trustworthy instead of having it in engine stock, which, while good, might he seriously affected by some unexpected disaster. He would, in the generosity of his heart, take his stock off her hands, now that the dangers of possessing it had been made clear to her, and he remained hers respectfully. Apolonia Daw wrote back on paper faintly scented with violets. She said she certainly appreciated his deep interest in her affairs, because she had found very little genuine kindness in a business way since she had been left alone. It touched her greatly. But the fact that he was at the head of the engine works gave her such a sense of security that she had never worried a bit about her stock. The Herzaster engine works was just as solid as the Bank of England to her with his keen judgment and strong hand at the helm. So, thanking him again, she remained his most gratefully. Jeddinh read this with his face screwed up in a right knot. "The woman's more of fool than most of 'em!" he said as he dipped his pen in ink. "She hasn't sense enough to get scared!" This time he wrote that her trust in him was, indeed, flattering, but that he was only a weak, human man who did not claim infallible judgment and he could not bear to have it upon his conscience if she should suffer financially through him. Of course the engine works were as solid as any, but he begged to point out to her that industrial stocks fluctuated unexpectedly sometimes. They were delicate. He considered if his duty to look out for her. So great was his concern that he would offer her $5 a share above par value. Apolonia answered that she wished there were more men like Mr. Haymaster in this hard world. Things would take on a far different aspect then. She said there were tears in her eyes as she wrote and that she would be less than a woman if she felt the slightest quiver of doubt in the engine works under his guidance, while, if she descended to the depths of selling her stock, she would really be an object of contempt. No, she assured him, she never would be ungrateful or foolish enough to think she could better herself by getting rid of her engine stock. Again she was his most gratefully. Jedediah gazed at this epistle hostilely and breathed hard. "Yet she can't be as all-fired smart as she must be if she isn't a fool!" So he, called on Mrs. Daw that evening on the way home. She fluttered to welcome him as though he were her dearest friend and clasped his hand warmly. Jedediah, really looking at her for the first time in his life, saw how very pretty she was. "I called," he said, "about that stock. I don't seem to have made myself clear in my letters. You worry me, Mrs. Daw, with your sublime woman's ignorance of business affairs." Apolonia leaned forward and looked Jedediah fairly in the eyes. "Dear Mr. Haymester," she said, sweetly, "I wouldn't have you worry about me for the world! And you made yourself quite clear! I think it would have been brilliantly clear even if I had been as ignorant as you thought me! You see, I know all about that extra dividend that is coming. I'm going to marry your son and he told me about that dividend some time ago. But I appreciate your interest!" Jedediah Haymaster stared. Then he suddenly held out his hand. "You win," he said, briefly, "and I guess we need you in the family. You're too smart to run around on your own account, Apolonia!" Like Hunderds Of Others Have Bought From Us.

Church MISSOURI BAPTISTS DOING A GOOD WORK Colored Men Here and There who Refuse To Be Pushed to Decatur, Ill.—I am still in this part of the world, but before this letter can reach the office I will be in another part. When you read this letter I will be in Lexington, Ky., and from there I will go to Louisville, and next week all mail seat to 523 Second avenue North, Nashville. Teen., will reach me. There are so many things to claim the attention of man, until it is hard for one to tell just what to say. I have been told that this is not the only world, but there are many other worlds upon worlds, and they are just crowding into each other. Now whether or not this is true, I am not able to tell, but I do know that there are many people, and it seems to me that they have not learned that there are many rooms in the world and each man can all his own place and it is not necessary to kill another man in order to get standing room for yourself. Every man has a place for his little feet or big feet; and let him put them down and occupy that place for him. He can buy it and own it for himself, except the fimount of money which he will be required to contribute to the world for its support. I am sure that for every man, woman and child in the world you will find 6 feet of earth where bodies will be consigned. The white man is trying to crowd us to the wall, and we are trying to crowd each other. The white man wants to look upon himself as a little god and everything else must get out of his way. I do not know whether or not I would be like that if I had things in my hand. I have never been a white man, hence do not know just how I would feel if I were one, but I guess I would be like the rest of them, because you will remember there is a good kind and there is a bad kind, and I would be either one or the other. But I have found upon investigation that the worst enemy I have to fight is a man or woman of my own race. They never get after you until you get to doing something and then they aim all of their arrows after you and do not rest until they kill you. Getting up is a hard thing, but then there are many men and women too who are getting up. Men in the pulpit, men in public, and they are being heard from. I note that when you talk about the pulpit there are but few men today who are taking to preaching. The Lord does not seem to be as busy as He used to be calling men to preach, and I think that the Christian world should pray for this right now, because it is necessary. The age is calling for strong men to preach the word of God and unless they are found the future is dark. I know we have some strong young men in the pulpit. I have met many of them. There is Rev. J. C. Caldwell, who is secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor Society of the A. M. E. Church. Young Caldwell has worked his way to the front, and if he continues along the right line he will be one of the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church. Then I look at Rev. John Hurst, and see how he has made his way and is now en route to the bishopric. He belongs to the young men. I would mention Rev. H. P. Anderson, of Atlantic City, N. J., who is as sure as can be promoted in the church, because of the good work he has done and is still doing. His friends are looking forward to when he will be secretary of missions and Dr. Beckett will be chairman of the Board, he being one of the Bishops. These changes are sure to come and we will all rejoice when they do come. Rev. G. W. Allen, is going up, and I do not know what young man will come after him as president or editor of the Southern Christian Recorder. Rev. A. L. Gaines, another strong young minister of the gospel who is in the Baltimore conference will be heard from in the general conference. He has made a place for himself and I expect to see him occupy it after next May. But this is not my time to talk about men and measures, but will do so from time to time as I consider it my duty. I have been to Jefferson City attending the General Baptist State Convention, and I am proud to say that they had a great session and were able to accomplish something for God and the race. I was proud of the good work they accomplished there. The Baptists of Missouri have gotten down to work and when a black man gets down to work he can do some work. The women were on hand and they were presided over by Mrs. C. R. McDowell, of Lincoln Institute, and the convention by Dr. J. T. Caston. I shall not have time to tell you all about this great organization this week and you will pardon me if I do not. The meeting was successful. I had the pleasure of seeing Prof. B. F. Allen, and I am going to tell you a few things about him in my next letter. From there I found my way to this place, and I am here working hard. I preached here Sunday, lectured in the afternoon, and will speak Monday and leave for Lexington, Tuesday morning. This will all be over when you read this letter. Upon reaching here I was met at the stable by Rev. J. A. Crockett, who told me that I was to stop with Mr. and Mrs. McClellan Jones. Mr. Jones is the head cook at the St. Nicholas Hotel. He is a man who has made good use of his time, and is now in a living condition. He has erected a house that is an eyesore to some of the poor white trash. He has a beautiful home on North Main street, and then he has a queen in it. Mrs Jones is a native of the same state her husband is and that is Indiana. She is well trained both in literary and domestic affairs. The Lord has blessed their home with two girls, and they are being educated for usefulness. I will not have time to tell you all about her, but I will tell you as much as I can this week. The Lord has been good to me. I failed to tell you that Mr. Jones owns some other property in town, and it is rented out. Rev. Crockett, is the pastor of the Antionch Baptist Church and he litves in the hearts of the people here. He is himself a good preacher, and a good pastor. Presiding Elder Holds Quarterly Meeting Special to the Afro-American Ledger. Chestertown, Oct. 18 - Sunday was Qnarterly meeting day at Bethel Church. The Presiding Elder Rev. J. P. Jordan preached a stirring sermon at night to a large congregation. On Monday night the second quarterly conference was held. The Presiding Elder praised very highly the work done by the church during the quarter. The church was not only found to be in a high spiritual fervor, but when the reports were read it was found that Six-hundred dollars had been raised during the quarter for all purposes. The Presiding Elder then declared Bethel Church to be in the lead of all his churches on the Eastern hores. The Harvest Home Festivities of Jane's M. E. Church are now in progress and meeting with great success. Miss Eunice Munsen a prominent young lady of the town died on Tuesday. The funeral services were held at Bethel Church. Rev. J. A. Young officiated. Mrs. E. G. Young was in Baltimore last week at the bedside of her miother, Mrs. P. H. Greene who is quite ill. A Literary and Historical Society to be Formed. A literary and historical association will be organized at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Druid Hill avenue and Lanvale street, next Thursday night. The literary will be a permanent body, and is intended to be an open forum for all classes of people in all sections of the city. While a number of persons have been personally notified of the meeting, all persons interested in such a body are invited to participate in the formation of the organization. Snow Hill Items Snow Hill, Md., Oct. 19—Mr. and Mrs. George Dase have returned from New York. Mrs. Mary Jones, of Baltimore, is visiting her parents. Mrs. I. D. Paine, who has been in Camden, N. J., at the bedside of her mother has returned with her mother. Rev. C. W. Pullett, district superintendent of the M. E. Church, lectured at Ebenezer Church last Friday evening. Walter Pitts, who is employed by a local druggist is learning much about the business. THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER P. Who was the recipient of many honors during the past week when he celebrated his 50th anniversary as a priest and 25th anniversary as Cardinal. The services held at the Cathedral last Sunday, in honor of this event were the must picturesque ever seen in this country, prominent prelates from all parts of the world being present to do honor to the only American Prince of the Roman Church. In the great parade which took place on Monday, nearly one thousand Colored Catholics, representing the five colored Catholic churches in this city, were in line and were heartily cheered all along the line of march. 5000 BAPTISTS WILL MARCH TO WASHINGTON Rev. Creditt Says They Will Ask Prnsident Taft for Square Deal "Yes, 5000 Baptists intend to march to the White House next May and tell President Taft of the many wrongs that the Negro needlessly has to suffer in this country," was the declaration made by Rev. Dr. W. A. Creditt before leaving his home in Philadelphia, a day or two ago. Dr. Creditt is president of the New England Baptist Convention and is one of the leading spirits in the National Baptist Convention, and has already received many assurances of support in the contemplated monster protest. "The wrongs that the race suffers are well-nigh unbearable," he said, "and we must let the country know that we feel the yoke keenly. A word from the president would create sentiment for us, and a big protest on our part would rivet the country's eyes on the matter." Dr. Creditt delivered an interesting lecture at Grace Presbyterian Church Monday night, where a successful harvest home entertainment was held. New Church Edifice Dedicated Winchester, Va., Oct. 17—The new church of Shiloh Primitive Baptist congregation was dedicated Sunday with appropriate services. The Church is located on North Kent street, and is a very handsome edifice. Rev. Benjamin Layton the pastor was ably assisted by Rev Walker Tolliver, of Harrisburg, Pa., and the pastors and congregations of the various churches of that faith for miles around. Rev. R. J. Butt, of St. Paul A. M. E. Church assisted Rev. J. H. Ross, at his Rally at Staunton, Va., last Sunday. St. Paul pulpit was filled on Sunday n the morning by Rev. M. Armstead, and at the evening service by Rev. H. C. Baker, of Washington, D. C. Both were eloquent and instructive sermons. The church is raising funds to make some very needed improvements. Mt. Carmel Free Baptist chruch is engaged in a large rally. The Will of Blshop Handy The will of the late Bishop James A. Handy will probably not be probated before December, when the executor, Bishop J. Albert. Johnson will arrive in this country from South Africa. It is thought that several bequests will be made to the educational interests of the church which he so long served.

When company comes we feel the desire to give them the very best our table can afford. The following are a few ideas that may be used. The drink with small cakes served to the caller cu a warm day is very refreshing. Lemon Fizz!—Grate the yellow rind from three lemons, squeeze the juice from six, and pour over two quarts of boiling water; stir in half a pound of sugar and cover. When lukewarm add half a yeast cake dissolved in a cup of warm water; cover and let stand over night. In the morning bottle and tie down the corks. Put in a cool place for a day or two when it will be ready to use. Chicago Salad.—Take large, very ripe pears, cut in halves and cored (canned pears may be used); fill the cavity made where the cores were removed with chopped celery and walnut meats mixed with mayonnaise. Arrange around the salad bowl and fill the center with cream cheese or cottage cheese, made rich with cream, put through the ricer. Normandy Salad.—Chop and mix together three cucumbers, three hard-cooked eggs, one cup of olives, three-fourths of a cup of nutmeats, and serve in lettuce nests with mayonnaise. Krimmel Torte—Put a half pound each of dates, nuts, and a fourth of a pound of figs with three tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs through a meat chopper. Mix well and fold in the mixture into the whites of six eggs beaten stiff. Bake in a moderate oven slowly, either in a loaf or layer tins. If in layers, put together with whipped cream, and you have a cake fit for a king. Dried peaches and apricots mixed make a delicolus dessert. Stew until tender, and put through a sieve. Add cream and freeze. Nellie Maxwell. A Word to the Wise.

ALTIMORE, OCT. 21, 1911 STUPID OR DEVILISH the more we contemplate the act of the election officers, as be- revealed in the inquest count the Grand Jury, the more are impressed with the stupidity of the vilishness of the action of the publican Judges and Clerks, who parently agreed to report a fraud- at count of the last primary elec- To have caught the Democrats handed in a big steal, such as the Grand Jury is uncovering, did not have greatly surprised one for that party has a record of tissue ballots ballot-box-stuffing and electioh frauds. To have night them again in the same old business would not have caused any best surprise for that sort of business has now become second nature of the party. They began by robbing the Negroes and later on they began to rob white Republicans, so when these two thefts became real, they turned in to rob each other; and now that the political obbers have fallen out, all honest ought to rejoice. We have followed this investigation of fraud with great care and pressing interest, and have been going to find out the motive lying atk of the action of Republican judges and Clerks who have joined odds with a shameless ring to foist our candidates upon the people. did not these Republican officials know, that when they went into illusion with the Democrats to assault the ring into the saddle of power, they only lessened the chances of Republican success? Did these men who were set to guard the interests of the voter and good government forget the high obligation that rested upon them? did they hold lightly their oath and their own good name, despising their citizenship? Or was the temptation of Emolument so strong that they could not withstand it? The Republicans have diligently ought, with words at least, ballotbox-stuffing and election frauds, but does not the action of these election officials make their words on-sounding brass and tinkling cymbals? Is it a case of evil communications corrupting good manners? Since the fight between Democratic candidates did not materially affect the Republican Party, why could these judges have given the cheer a square deal? They haveOWN themselves to be men of less mor. with less of the spirit of play than those sportsmen who are referees at the Johnson-Jeffrey fight. The whole inquest brings the oar to a standstill, as he views gravity of the situation, for as itms now stand, he cannot tell at will become of his-vote. If votes right it may not be countess to elect the man he votes for, for Republicans and Democrats are seemingly in collusion to set up government by "The Ring." Looking the matter all over we are forced to the conclusion that the action of the Republican officials, in helping to send out a fraudulent count, was stupid or devilish, for the longer the Democratic ring retains its grip on the State, the worse it is for the people and the more thoroughly entrenched they become and the further off will be the day of Republican victory. DIXON'S TRAITOR If our memory serves us correctly Shakespeare the great tragedian and literateur, has among his plays a comedy entitled, "Much Ado About Nothing", the memory of which ought to warn us away from distress ing ourselves over small and insignificant matters. Some years ago one Dixon wrote a play which he called the "Clansman," by means of which he sought to stir up race animosity the country over. The colored people and some white people gave the play its best advertisement by making a fight against its presentation, and so the play had a great run and did much harm to the social well being of our people. "The Clansman" had its run and is gone the way of all the earth. Upon its passing, however, Mr. Dixon brings out another play called "The Traitor", seeking still to embitter the feeling of whites against blacks. The play came to Baltimore a week or so ago, and an attempt was made to advertise it by getting a few of our leading pastors and editors to get up a fight against it, but the pastors and editors were too wise to be trapped and the result was that "The Traitor" came and went without causing a ripple on the waters of our social life. The newspapers practically pigeon-holed it. The pastors and colored editors gave it no attention and our colored citizens seemed almost to forget that it as advertised to appear. We want to extend congratulations to our people generally for the wise way in which they conducted themselves in reference to the new play by Mr. Dixon. We advise that our people, the country over give "The Traitor" the go-by, such as the Baltimore public gave it, and it will soon pass up the river Styx to join its companion, "The Clansman." We are learning, yea, we believe we have learned the lesson that will make us wise enough to let our enemies do their own advertising, instead of our dong it for them. ENVIOUS ACTION DOES NOT PAY In the world of business, politics and religion it always pays to deal squarely. The old maxim, "Live and let live", ought to be remembered by all men. The world today is under high pressure in every field of endeavor, and every worker ought to have a chance to do his best and ought also to be encouraged, to do his best. In the gymnasium, when the boy has learned well, how to handle the two pound dumb bell, he is given a heavier one that he may increase in strength and proficiency. Thus the boy trains and grows toward the perfection of the expert in athletics. The boy will never come to the perfection of skill and strength of the athlete, unless he is given a chance to use his strength and try his skill on more difficult tasks each day. This too is the process of educating the mind. When the boy has finished arithmetic, he is given algebra; so when he has finished grammar he is given rhetoric and his mind is trained to grapple with and solve harder problems, day by day until he is ready to go forth to the world with sufficient strength to solve the problems of life and do his fair share of the world's work. As in the school so in life, if a man's interest is to be kept alive. Opportunities for getting on and getting ahead must literally never cease, if the best is to be gotten from every man. The end of progress is the end of hope, and the end of hope, is the end of effort. We recall the story of the great sculptor, who stood one morning, be fore the statue which he had been carving, and with chisel and mallet in hand he tried to find a place where he could afford to strike another blow, but such a place could not be found. Seeing as he did, that he could not improve on this piece of work he burst into tears and sobbed: "This is the end of growth, for I see nothing beyond it." So when a man achieves unto his ideal, he is at the end of progress, for there is nothing to lead him farther. But in this world of struggle and opposition, many a man is debarred from a fair chance to work toward his ideal to say nothing about achieving it. If a man is attempting to learn carpentry, and he is not al- THE AFRO-AMERICA-LEDGER lowed to learn the use of all the tools needed in the trade, it is safe to say, he will never be a first class carpenter. So if a man is to learn the business of a builder and is never allowed to do anything but lay foundations, it is safe to say, he will never be a competent builder. No matter what his talent may be, he can never be proficient as a builder if he is kept laying foundations. In the shop and factories where we have the division of labor, many a genius has been throttled and a fine career blasted because of the confinement to a single department, or a single line of work. This we believe to be the reason, that the division of labor, is styled the highest type of civilization. The same is true in the field of religion. Many a preacher began his ministry with hope and ambition to climb to the top in his calling but after years of struggle and effort he found himself hedged in by a set of circumstances which kept him on the foundation of things and finally he lost hope accepted foundation as his lot, and hope and aspiration went out of his heart. So it has happened over and over again, that he who might have grown to be a peerless preacher, was confined to building little churches and paying debts, and died at last without ever having a fair chance to do his best in every field of Christian endeavor. Many a preacher has died in a small charge, not because he was not worthy of a large one, but because of the envious action of his brethren who combined in rings and cliques against him to hold him down and keep him back, much as the Mahon Ring combined in the last primary election to keep out of office any but its own particular set. But just as the Baltimore ring is receiving a just recompense of reward, so will other men who enter into envious action against their brethren find at last the tables turned and they will be given a dose of their own medicine of envy and opposition. If fortune has favored you with a chance to climb up to a good place and a good position, do not cut off the fingers of your brother, as you see him climbing and grasping tightly the rungs of the ladder up which you went. Do not drop the sky light of opposition on the head of the man who has dared to aspire to climb to the roof of opportunity. We reap what we sow, and envious action does not pay.

Ejectment Proceeding Instituted The ejectment proceedingg that were instituted in order to get title to some property in Baltimore county resulted in a verdict being given in favor of the defendant in the Court of Common Pleas last Friday. The land was owned at one time by a man named Dobson. He sold the same to a man named Johnson nearly thirty years ago. The purchase price was $50 of which $25 had been paid. Johnson later built on the land, and has been living there since. Dobson died and his heirs never made any attempt to get possession of the land or to collect the $25 owing. In 1899 the administrator for Dodson, Mrs. Hester Fenwick, sold the property to Arthur Rogers, who went into court in order to get a title to the property. The court decided against the plaintiff on the ground of adverse possession. Hawkins and McCard represented the defendants. GOLDSBOROUGH AND VICTORY THE SLOGAN Stroug Fight Will Be Waged Agninst The D ifranchising Amendment COLORED REPUBLICANS ARE WAKING UP A Whirlwind Campaign To Be Conducted From Now Until Election Day. The Republicans have become to wake up a little and from now until election day a most energetic campaign will be waged. The candidates in the counties have been hustling hard for the past month but the city end seemed a little slow in getting into action. Meetings have been planned for all sections of the city and "Goldsborough and Victory" will be the watchword. With the possible disfranchisement staring them in the face, leading colored men of the city have started a movement to arouse interest aoming the voters. Headquarters have been opened at 414 W. Hoffman street, and work for the success of the G. O. P. is now in full swing. Dr. Ernest Lyon, upon the invitation of the State Central Committee, has taken charge of the work and has associated with himself 100 well-known residents of this city. This Committee, which is auxiliary to the State Central Committee, has selected as treasurer Rev. A. L. Gaines, M. B. DR. ERNEST LYON and Dr. W. A. C. Hughes as secretary. Mr. H. E. Macbeth will assist Dr. Lyon as chairman and Mr. John H. Murphy will be chairman of the press committee. Every effort will be made to arouse the 50,000 voters of the city and State to the necessity of voting for the Republican candidates and of working for the defeat of the Digges Bills. The work that the committee purposes doing was given a unanimous vote of endorsement by the Ministerial Alliance at its monthly meeting Monday. DR LYON'S PLANS "This committee," said Dr. Lyon to a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, "will work with an eye single to the defeat of the Digges bills and for the success of Phillips Lee Goldsborough and his associates on the Republican ticket. The fact that the Wilson law has disfranchised by its operation more than 50,000 colored and white voters of this State, and that general disfranchisement for the race only lurks in the immediate distance should bestir us to make every effort to bring out every colored voter in the State. We invite the assistance of all our friends." Dr. Lyon has had considerable experience in political work, and was one of the membes of the advisory committee to the Republican National Committee in the presidential campaigns of 1900 and 1904. The presidential boom of Senator La Follette was formally launched this week. The Fashion for Housekeeping.

TAFT WILL NOT BE PARTY'S NOMINEE Dr. Sinclair Says The Country Will Not Stand Four More Years of Him NEGROES HAVE NEVER HAD LESS TO LOSE Dr. Washington Said To Be In Sympathy with President's Southeru Policy "I do not think President Taft will be the choice of next Republican National Convention for President of the United States," said Dr. Wm. H. Sinclair, physician, author and traveler to a reporter of the Afro-American Ledger on Thursday evening, "but if he is nominated, enough Negroes will bolt the ticket to cause his defeat. The country at large and the Negro in particular is tired of Taft and his efforts to placate the South and the sooner we are rid of him, the better off we will be. "As yet we have had no assurance from the Democrats as to their willingness to accept the colored man into the party, but one thing is certain, we could not be treated worse in any party than we have already been treated by the present administration, so a change at the White House, while it might not do us any good, will most assuredly be unable to do us any harm." In speaking of President Taft ousting all colored men from federal positions in the South, Dr. Sinclair said that this plan had the support and cooperation of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was over zealous in his efforts to keep on the good side of the white people of the South. He also said that public opinion would not allow a Democratic administration to do some of the things that Taft has done. When asked about the work of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of waich he is a member, the Doctor said that they were accomplishing much, and that at a meeting of the Executive Committee held in New York on last Monday, the case of two Negroes who were arrested for alleged murder, and the organist of St. Phillips' Church, N. Y., who was refused a seat in a theatre after having purchased a ticket were taken up and will be pushed by the Association. He also said "The Crisis" a monthly publication of the Association had in the last year reached a circulation of over twenty thousand. Dr. Sinclair, who was here to deliver a lecture at Bethel Church, returned to his home in Philadelphia, yesterday. Schools 118 and 116 In Fast Baseball Game The boys of school No. 118 defeated the strongest elementary school in the city School 116 in a fast game of baseball at Druid Hill Park last Tuesday by a score of 9 to 0.

Manning Only 3,000 Out of 200,000 Colored Men Are Allowed to Vote That the whole country must be aroused to the injustice that disfranchisement does to both races in the South was the declaration made by Joseph C. Manning, of Alabama, in an address before the monthly meeting of the Ministerial Alliance at Grace Presbyterian Church, Mon- As the speaker told of the thrallion that the South suffers because 10,000 white voters dominated 100,000 colored and white men of living age in the twelve Southern states, the ministers listened with not attention, and at the close of the meeting proffered their assistance to Mr. Manning in helping to ouse public sentiment against the injustice that Southern disfranchisement does to the whole coun- "The disfranchising amendment in Alabama" said the speaker, "was never really adopted. The white counties gave large majorities against it, while the black counties were returned as voting for it, thus showing fraud. Out of 5,300,000 whites of voting age in Alabama, there only 125,000 on the filling books, while out of 200,000 colored men of voting age there have been only 3,000 allowed to register. The last Democratic state ticket there was elected by 200 votes, which shows that not only the great majority of colored share the sufferers, but a big priority of the white voters of State. 1—Voting Minority Rules.— "In the twelve Southern States there are 6,000,000 men of voting age. Of these 2,500,000 are colorless and 2,500,000 white. In these states only 1,500,000 white men exercise the right of suffrage, thus submitting the great majority of the white men and nearly all of the colored men of that section of the country to government by a minority." After showing the great disproportion between school attendance and the children of school ages the speaker declare that the national government should aid education ahead of leaving it to the whims of Northern charity. "Enfranchise the colored men in the South," he said, "and we will not need any bankee charity." He then took up the question of lynching, and after declaring that it was a national disgrace, he said public sentiment must be educated up to the fine conditions in the South. As to Tuskegee. Whenever a protest is made," he continued, "we hear the cry of 'Let the South alone,' as well as the statement that Tuskegee is solving the Southern problem. Tuskegee is a great institution, but it must not stand in the way of the rights of the people of the South. The question is one of equal rights for all classes in the South, an untrammeled ballot, the stoppage of repression and the exercise of those rights guaranteed by the federal constitution. The ballot is the only weapon that the freeman has, and the country must be awakened to the fact that one white voter in the South counts for as much as six in the North and West." After stating that President Taft nipped in the bud the prejudice that would have kept a Jew from being promoted in the United States army, he said that the reason this was done was because the Jews would act as one man in resenting any injustice to a member of the face, he said that Mr. Taft refused to heed the plea of some prominent colored men a few months ago that he peek out against lynching. "These colored men," said Mr. Manning, "knew that public sentiment, would be created against synching if the President spoke out against it, yet he did not seeming-after, that their wrath would be visited upon him. The colored voters should be so organized that any candidate that refused to state whether or not he was against disfranchisement and lynching would be defeated. 'Public sentiment must be creat against 'disfranchisement' , he REV. J. J. PLANTVIGNE It is probable that Rev. Plantevigne, who has been assistant pastor at St. Francis Xavier Catholic church for the past two years, will leave to take up pastoral work in either Louisiana or Kentucky. He is a native of the former State, and spent a part of his vacation in the latter State. Rev. Plantevigne has made a number of friends here who will regret seeing him leave his present charge continued, "else it will strike Maryland and then proceed on to Massachusetts. We must show to the country that the white man of the South and the colored people are the greatest sufferers, and that the evils there are the problems of the nation, and not a Negro question." Revs. C. H. Stepteau, Ernest Lyon, C. G. Cummings, G. F. Bragg, G. E. Waller, W. M. Alexander and M. F. Sydes, who presided, made strong addresses endorsing the sentiments expressed by Mr. Manning and pledging the support of the ministers of the city in his efforts. Dr. Alexander, in his remarks, asserted that the Democrats were trying to steal the Digges bills through. It is probable that a big mass meeting will be arranged at which Mr. Manning will speak. Government by Minority. Those who heard Mr. Joseph C. Manning in his admirable address before the Ministerial Alliance Monday, were certainly presented with food for thought as to how 1,500,000 voters of the South controlled the destinies of 4,500,000 non-registered men of voting age. The denial of the right to vote to the colored males in most of the Southlern States has hit the great majority of the white men of that section, and they suffer almost as much as the colored. An untrammeled ballot is the safeguard of the freeman, and a healthy public sentiment against disfranchisement must be created. The Southern whites who have profited politically by these uhfair conditions are now most insistent that men of their own number be shown great preference, and the North has tamely submitted. Even President Taft by his refusal to appoint colored men to office in the South has pandered to this demand. The fact that one white voter in the South counts for as much politically, as six men in the North and West should arouse the whole country to the injustice of the thing. Here in Maryland, the Wilson ballot law has practicetly disfranchised 50,000 colored and white men, and the Democratic ring is now trying to sneak through the Digges disfranchising bills. The race must help in Mr. Manning's work of arousing the country to the unequal conditions the great damage that lynchings are doing the country and that equal rights for all are necessary for the continued welfare of the United States. Not Many D. D's That the Ecumenical Conference, which ended this week at Toronto, was one of the greatest events in Methodism was the opinion ventured by Dr. W. H. Goler, president of Livingstone College, just before leaving for Salisbury, N. C., a day or two ago. "There were about 60 colored delegates," he said, "and they were treated with every consideration. Our men who took part in the program were well received. One thing that I noticed was that very few of the foreign delegates had the degree of doctor of divinity and then only a few of the most prominent and learned." Not In These Days of Politics.

Associated with them is an advisory committee of two hundred ministers and laymen, selected from the city and state. The Executive committee is composed of Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines, Chairman of the Preachers Meeting of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and President of the Home Beneficial and Fraternal Society as Treasurer. Rev. Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Pastor of Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church, Secretary; John H. Murphy, Editor of the Afro-American Ledger is Chairman of the Press Bureau and Hugh L. Macbeth, Editor of the Baltimore Times is assistant manager. The other members of the Executive Committee are Hon. Harry S. Cummings, City Councilman; Rev. Dr. Wm. M. Alexander, Chairman of the Maryland Suffrage League; Messrs. H. M. St. Clair, Cambridge, Md.; Solomon Houston, Salisbury, Md.; Capt. Edward Wilson, Upper Fairmount; Rev. S. S. Jolly, Cambridge, Md. After an address by Dr. Lyon before the Inter-Denominational Preachers' Alliance, consisting of all the colored ministers in the city and suburban districts, a resolution was passed endorsing his leadership of the Republican forces and pledging support to the Party nominees. Arrangements are being made to hold meetings throughout the city and state, winding up with four rousing meetings in the North, South, East, and West. The slogan of the campaign is the election of the Republican candidates and the defeat of the Digges Amendment, which aims at the wholesale disfranchisement of the Negro voters of the State Headquarters have been established and working forces secured and everything is beginning to give the appearance of business. The headquarters are centrally located and are capable of accommodating five hundred persons. It is proposed to enlist women in the campaign and the headquarters with its spacious hall will be utilized for mixed meetings in the day, among such as have leisure and general men's meetings at night. Its doors will be opened morning, noon and night for instruction, so that the auxiliary Headquarters will be a perpetual talking machine. Invitations have been sent out for a conference. Enthusiasm among colored men is aroused. Confidence has returned. Loud expressions of approval are heard on all sides concerning the establishment of the Auxiliary Headquarters and recognition of colored men in the management of the party. A circular letter has been prepared by the Executive Committee and sent out to all the preachers throughout the State asking for monetary aid in pursuing the campaign. Night schools will be established in every center for the instruction of the voters. The sole motive of this organization is to give vigorous assistance to the good citizens of Maryland in bringing about the protection of the ballot and the destruction of fraud and corruption. We recognize the fact that with the disfranchisement of the Negro comes also the disfranchisement of the whites. Everything which affects the one class of citizens is bound to affect the other class. We are not fighting so much for ourselves as we are fighting for all the people and the progress of the State. Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock the entire Advisory Committee is requested to meet the Executive Committee at the Headquarters, 414 W. Hoffman street. The public in general is invited. Ladies especially. The following letter is being sent out to all the ministers of the State: 414 W. Hoffman St., Baltimore, Md., October 17. 1911.

Bryant, Secretary of Sunday School Union, Is to Build Up First Class Printery In Nashville and Book Store In Philadelphia to Reduce Debt. Knoxville, Tennessee. For several years the printing department of the A. M. B. church at Philadelphia has been a topic discussed by thousands of members of this influential denomination for racial upift. From Maine to Florida and every section of the country, because the liabilities of this department have been heavy for years and the indebtedness is authoritatively asserted to exceed $20,000, remedies for the present financialills are being advanced. The publishing house at Philadelphia will be a potent factor as the quadrennial conference of the church in Kansas City next May. Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the Sunday School union of the church, a man of ripe business experience and possessing a peculiar ability, assuring of success in managing large movements, has made the department of Sunday union of his church an unprecedented success. Four years ago at the general conference in Norfolk, Nn., he was elected secretary of this department, and he has become the cynosure of the eyes of joy and clergy of his denomination. Contrasting his success with the state of affairs of the printery in Philadelphia, which is said to be heavily in debt and has been so for many years, there has been created a tidal wave for the merging of both houses with the printing of the church being done in Nashville, Tenn., where the printing establishment, of the Sunday School union is located. This plan has been discussed at all the conferences by practical and successful men, who were considering the pertinent feature of the next quadrennial conference of the church. The conferences that will be held this winter will, as others have done, send men who are greatly interested in conserving the best interests of the general church and making the publishing affairs of the connection a success, as have been the achievements of Mr. Bryant, who has given his church and the race the only Negro house making its own type and borders. It is now being claimed all over the connection that under the conditions of the A. M. E. church or any other similar movement for the uplift of the Afro-American folk it is absurd to attempt to create a tangible movement producing sufficient revenue to make the proposition a success anywhere except below Mason and Dixon's line. An official in the church in discussag combining both plants under a single management said in part: "A single management of our two houses simply means that the work will be so divided that best results will be obtainable. A single management for the two houses would mean that all work the book concern could not handle would be sent to Nashville, where our own boys and girls are employed. Then there is a class of work, such as calendar making and fine cut work, etc., that could be got out to better advantage in Philadelphia. The plans are being discussed favorably in all parts of the connection. Professor J. M. Avery, a prominent layman and assistant manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association in Durham, which has had phenomenal success due to the integrity of the officers and their ability to manage large undertakings and which is the greatest Negro insurance company in the world, says: "Why not accept Bryant's proposition to build up in Philadelphia a first class bookstore and in Nashville a first class printery under one management? Some may say that this would be a mere experiment, but most all other denominations are operating on a similar basis and succeeding. Then, too, Bryant, a practical man, is a man who knows his business and has more than fulfilled every promise made in the past. He has run the union without the children's day money, has installed and paid for over $10,000 worth of improved machinery, has given us the best literature we have ever had in the history of the church, and, on the whole, he has done more than his friends ever dreamed he was unable of doing." Professor Inman E. Page as Educator Professor Inman E. Page, whose official connection with the University For Colored Youths at Langston, Oklan, extends over thirteen years, is one of the best known educators of the race. Mr. Page is a graduate of Brown university, Providence, R. I. He was for many years president of Lincoln institute, Jefferson City, Mo. The school at Langston owned no property when Professor Page took charge, but under his able management it now has a property valuation of hundreds of thousands and a government endowment plot worth over $100,000. The enrollment of students for the year 1910-11 was 673. Heward Orphan Asylum In New Home at Kings Park. E. N. BARNETT DODSON. The changing of the home site of the old Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum from Dean street and Troy avenue, in Brooklyn, to Kings Park, N.Y. marks the passage from familiar view of one of Brooklyn's oldest charitable institutions. Under the able management of the late Rev. William F. Johnson the institution became a household word among Brooklynites. It cared for hundreds of orphan children nearly. The asylum was supported mainly by contributions from the various churches of all Protestant denominations and through gifts from individuals. The building on Dean street became too small for the proper care of the children and the industrial work of the school many years ago, but it was not until 1910 that anything was done toward securing more suitable quarters. The trustees first secured a tract of 169 acres at St. James, N. Y., but soon found that this would not be sufficient for buildings for industrial work, truck gardens and farm purposes. Extending their investigations further they came upon the old Indian Hend farm of 572 acres at Kings Park, which they purchased and where they have erected a group of cottages and other buildings for the use and carrying on of all departments of the work with ample spare land for farming and gardening. The new buildings and grounds were recently dedicated with appropriate exercises by the trustees, other officials and a large concourse of friends of the institution from Brooklyn, New York and vicinity. The Rev. James H. Gordon, the present superintendent, who took charge of the institution about ten years ago, has fully demonstrated his capacity as an honest, energetic and safe leader. STARTLING CONDITIONS REVEALED IN ALABAMA. Public Sentiment Aroused in the North by Mr. Manning. Public opinion in the north is being aroused by Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama to the starting conditions of the suppressed white and black south. He shows, for example, that in Alabama the crop mortgage system, by which the poor man must mortgage his household effects and his growing crops at ruinous rates of interest to obtain living supplies, puts him in the power of the mortgagee and leads directly to serfdom and peonage. Out of 700,000 children of school age but 200,000 white children, or about one-half, attend school. And of the 300,000 children only 90,000 attend PETER H. JOSPEH C. MARKING. school, and the school term in the country districts and towns is only three months in the year. "This is not a race or black man's question." points out a committee which has taken up this subject. "It is a menace to the safety of republican government. It is futile to leave this matter to the south, where the only discussion of it tolerated is that side which fixes the evil more deeply upon the people. The way to reach the root of the wrong is through public opinion in the country at large. And it is to stir up public opinion that we appeal to you for a hearing for Mr. Macaui, who is well known in New England for his capability, earnestness and fearlessness and many years of devoted service for all the people of the south. His aim here is to place the facts, which have hitherto been studiously suppressed, before the country and leave it to apply proper remedies. For the safety of the whole country we ask you to share this work with us." The committee that makes this appeal follows: Butler R. Wilson, Boston; Clement G. Morgan, Boston; Edgar P. Benjamin, Boston; John M. Murrell, Boston; Andrew W. Bush, New Bedford, Mass.; James H. Magnett, New Bedford, Mass.; Handy L. Duncan, Heverbill, Mass.; James E. Atus, Broceton, Mass.

The exiles found Jerusalem in ruins, together with the surrounding cities of residence and their orchards and farms, much as they had been left by Nebuchadnezzar's armies fifty years before. Trees were growing wild on the Mountain of the House, and the jackals prowled among heaps of shattered masonry. Crumbling stone-work and charred timbers marked the site of palaces and towers, and choked the streets. The city walls and gates were leveled with the ground. The first business of the returned exiles was, of course, to provide some kind of dwellings for themselves and their families. They accordingly settled in the small cities surrounding Jerusalem, perhaps repairing the houses and walls that had been ruined by the besieging armies years before, or contenting themselves with huts or tents. The territory they controlled was of course small, and hemmed in on all sides, "including only Bethlehem on the south, while on the north their territory measured no more than twenty-five miles in length by twenty in breadth," and even upon this encroached the heathen or mongrel population. As soon as the returned exiles had become settled in their homes, and hdd planned for the necessities of life, within three or four months of their arrival, they wisely arranged for the religious life, which was the very heart of the nation's existence, and the central motive and inspiration of the return. It would require years to build the temple. It was not wise to wait for that. It was essential that all needful helps to devotion and religion and righteousness should be provided immediately, to sustain them in the work to be done amid opposition and temptations which were to try their souls as gold is tried in the fire. When the builders laid the foundation of the temple, there was a great celebration. The chant of praise was responded to with a great burst of chorus, vocal and instrumental, the substance of which was some well-known sacred refrain. There is a wonderful power in music and every atom of it should be used in God's service. The church has scarcely begun to use this power in its fulness. Some object to responsive singing; some have opposed putting an orchestra in the Sunday school, as if these were modern novelties, instead of 3,000 years old. These old saints used every kind of instrument, every method of singing—solos, responses, choruses, marching songs, refrains, everything that would give wings and inspiration to the service of song. Those who had known only the exile conditions sang Hallelujahs, because it was an unspeakable joy to have a temple at all. It meant the saving of the nation; it meant the returning favor of God. It was no limit to the religious life and the blessings which could grow out of it. It made possible the greater glory, which fifteen years later the prophet Haggal foretold, when it should be fulfilled in the Messiah. We learn from Haggal that the people were busy with building beautiful houses, and cultivating their farms. They planted vineyards and orchards, figs, pomegranates and olives. But all their efforts were failures. They "looked for much, and lo it came to little." For they cared more for their own houses and farms than for the house of God. Then arose the wise, aged prophet preacher Haggai, who had been watching the course of affairs, and in the name of God, urged the people to arise and build the temple, for the time had come. He made four addresses in the autumn of 520, the summaries of which are recorded in his book. He began at the religious festival of the new moon when crowds of people were assembled, probably in the temple area itself, where the altar was smoking with sacrifices, and the unfinished foundations and the desolation of the city were in full view, while in the distance were the homes and fields of the leaders. While aged Haggal was urging the people to rise up and build, a younger prophet-preacher was inspired to encourage the people, and to remove their difficulties and doubts, by a series of emblematical visions, or object lessons. He urged all high motives for renewing the work, and enforced them by their own experiences. They had tried to gain prosperity, while religion was neglected. They had sought the fruits of obedience to God, while they neglected the tree that alone could bear the fruit. They wanted rich crops in their fields, while they stopped up the springs that alone could make them fertile. Haggal said to them, look at the results of your bad policy. Consider your ways. Change your plan. Put God, and religion first. Seek first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Use The Euroka Comb Price $1.50 With Lamp Cap For Heating.

IN -MEMORIAM of my daughter, Mary L., who de parted this life ten months ago, December 15. Oh, daughter, thy gentle voice i gone, Thy warm, true heart is still, And on thy'pale and peaceful face, Is resting death's cold chill. Thy -hands are clasped upon thy breast, I have kissed thy loving brow, And in my aching heart I know, T have no daughter now. What. is home without a daughter *Tis now robbed of its flower There a broken, bleeding heart, Shall spend many’a lonely hour. Oh, how I loved my daughter dear, No-heart on earth can tell; But Jesus loved her better, And took her home to dwell. Had he asked us, well we know, We should hrye said: spare the blow; Yes, with streaming tears should ‘ pray, & ‘That we loved her, let her stay Nobly at her post she fell, Our daughter, dear, kind and true, Beloved by all her’ friends so weil And kind to all she knew. Weep not for me, mother dear, Because I died so young, The fewer years, the:-fewer sins, God’s will must be done.
