THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER Supreme Lodge Sessions Made Lively By Mitchell's Fight For Admission CALANTHANS HAVE PEACEFUL SESSION. S. W. Green of New Orleans and Joseph L. Jones, of Cincin- The Pythians will close their breezy session tonight, the Supreme Court has already closed and camp is being broken today. From the time the supreme representatives and officers of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, reached the city they have been kept busy and while the sessions were all held behind closed doors, yet there were some interesting meetings held, as reported on the streets. The formal opening was held Monday morning at Bethel A.M.E. Church, at which time a number of addresses of welcome were delivered. The church was crowded with visitors and citizens. A. S. Goldborough represented the Mayor in an address of welcome. This address was responded to by L. M. Mitchell, of Austin, Texas. Other addresses were delivered by City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, Rev. J. U. King, Rev. S. S. Jolley, Grand Chancellor George A. Watty and others. In calling the session to order, Mr. Watty said: 'You will permit me to thank you today as I thanked you at Indianapolis two years ago for honoring our city by holding your session here this time. Our great order, numbering over 168,000 members in many States of this country is doing a great work among or people and year by year is growing better and stronger.' The delegates and visitors were tendered a reception by the pastor and officials of Bethel A. M. E. Church Monday, a which time addresses will be delivered by Rev. D. R. W. Fickland, Supreme Enancellor Green and others. The opening of the Supreme Lodge and the opening of the Supreme Court of Calanthe were held Tuesday morning in Bethel A.M.E. Church. The Supreme Lodge was called to order by S. W. Green, of New Orleans, who stated the business in a brief way, and then proceeded to open, but there was a hitch. It was reported that John Mitchell l., Jr., of Virignia, had gotten in possession of the pass in an irregular way and therefore was not entited to remain. After some discussion, the Supreme Lodge took recess until noon. After calling on at noon, Mr. Mitchell witthew and the Supreme Lodge opened. The committee on credentials and rule was then appointed. The session Tuesday afternoon all day Wednesday were spent disposing of the report of the mittee on credentials of which M. Rogers is chairman. Tuesday night memoria services held at which time addresses delivered by Dr. C. M. Wade, M. Springs and Roscoe Conkling of Memphis, Tennessee. Tuesday afternoon [Supreme for Green] delivered his bi- address, reviewing every 中華民國二十九年十一月二十六日 國防部 國防部 Head of the Military Department the Knight of Pythias ```markdown ``` phase of the work for the past two years. It took three hours to read the address. The session on Friday was spent in hearing reports of the various officers and the Mitchell case, which took up most of the day. Perhaps the most harmonious session ever held in the history of the Supreme Court of Calanthe was the one which closed Thursday night presided over by Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnatti. He is a fine presidign officer as was demonstrated in each session and in token of his services he was presented with a handsome gold watch at the close of the session. Right into business they went Tuesday morning, appointing all the committees and hearing the report of the committee on rules, followed by the report of the committee on credentials. There were many short talks made. Among the active women was Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, of Birmingham, Ala. who is one of the most unique characters in the race. She is founder and president of Tuggle Institute and is worthy councilor for Alabama, which position she has held for a number of years. General Jones delivered his biennial address Wednesday, which brought forth many expressions from the large number of delegates who declared that they wanted him elected for another term. Dr. A. N. Prince Supreme Medical Director, made an interesting report. He discussed the alarming death rate, and then offered some suggestions for the preservation of health and life. The following officers were elected: Mrs. R. Barnes, Louisiana, supreme worthy instructor; Mrs. Jesie D. Robinson Missouri supreme worthy inspectrix; Mrs. M.J. Hazewood, supreme worthy orator; Mrs. C. A. Curl, Illinois, supreme worthy register of deeds; Mrs. A. D. Key, Texas, supreme worthy receiver of deposits; Mrs. F. M.

Green of New Orleans was re-elected Supreme Chancellor and Joseph L. Jones of Cincinatti was re-elected Supreme Vice Chancellor. Seldom have Baltimoreans been treated to such a fine spectacle as the parade of the uniform. department of the Knights of Pythians Thursday. The parade was witnessed by thousands of persons, quite a number of whom came from Philadelphia, Wilmington, Washington and other places to witness the procession. The men began to trickle in from their camp at Westport shortly after 9 o'clock, and mobilized on the cross streets between Druid Hill avenue and McCulloh street, and north of Wilson. When the Eight Illinois Regiment Band struck up a tune, and the horse of Chief Marshal J. Edward Smith began to move ahead the parade was off. Major General R. R. Jackson was in command. Through a mass of humanity the parade wended its way down Druid Hill avenue, past the office of the Afr-American Ledger, into Eutaw street, to Franklin, to St. Paul to Lexington, to Aisquith, to Jefferson, to Central avenue, to Madison, to Greenmount avenue, where the parade disbanded and the marchers proceeded to Oriole Park in cars furnished by the United Railways where a competitive drill was held. The order of the parade was: J. Edward Smith, marshall, platoon mounted police, Major R. R. Jackson, and the Eighth Illinois Band. 2. First division with Col. H. H. Biggs in command, and companies from Illinois, Georgia, Indiana and Virginia. 3. Second division, with General C. C. Calwdell in command and companies from Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky.

The petition points out, that under the present order of things, "only the prospect of mere subordinate routine service without the stimulus of advancement to high office by merit, a right deemed inviolable for all white natives as for the children of the foreign born." "Who shall say," continues the latter, "where discriminations once begun shall cease? For the lowly of all classes you have lifted up your voice and not in vain. Shall ten million of our citizens say that their civic liberties and rights are not safe in your hands?" President Potter Issues Letter. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Boston, Mass., August 28—President W. Monroe Trotter, of the National Independent—Political Leauge, has scattered broadcast petitions protesting against the alleged discriminations that colored employees in the departments at Washington have to undergo. A national protest of President Wilson and members of Congress is also urged. Crisfield Notes. Special in The Air-American Ledger Crisfield, Md., Aug. 28—Rev. S. D. Parker and family, Mr. John H. Palmer and family, Mrs. William Fitgett and Miss Moral B. Collins have returned home from the Tasley. ELKS IN SESSION AT ATLANTIC CITY Baltimore Contingent Make a Good Showing In Parade Thursday (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Atlantic City, August 29.—Elks from all sections of the country have been here this week attending the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Elks of the World. Besides transacting a large amount of routine business there have been a number of social events, the big ball at Young's Million Dollar Pier, last night being the stellar event. The Baltimore marchers were cheered in the big street parade Thursday afternoon. The most important business of the session was the consideration of the plan to establish an Endowment Department of the Order. The new plan was favorably reported but occasioned a hotly contested fight on the floor. So hard was the fight that a special session has been set apart for the express purpose of threshing out the matter. Some strong opposition developed when the committee submitted a favorable report to increase the salary of the Grand Secretary, whose work on account of the rapidly increasing membership is becoming more and more arduous. The Grand Secretary's salary was increased. The report of the Grand Legal Adviser, Armond W. Scott, of Washington, D.C. gave a full review of the work and the accomplishments of his office for the past year. Mr. Scott emphasized the advisibility of a business like operation of the affairs of the organization and gave the ground upon which the Grand Lodge will attempt to defend their right to use the title and insignias under which that order now operates. At the conclusion of this report Mr. Scott was given a wild ovation. A resolution was carried tendering Attorney Scott of the Grand Lodge a vote of thanks. I. H. Nutter of this city made each electrifying the convention endorsing the recommendations of the Grand Legal Adviser. Many important changes were advised by the committee on bylaws and resolutions. Especially was this done in the matter of the election of officers in the subordinate lodges. The Grand Lodge out of respect to the many departed brothers of of the subordinate lodges, on the report of the Grand. Obiturary Committee, entered into a Sorrow Session which lasted more than one and a half hours. The Rev. Dr. Churchman Grand Esteemed Lecturing Knight offered prayer for the departed brothers, and Rev. George Avant, Grand Chaplain and ArchJeacon of North Carolina delivered the Annual Eulogy. New Pastor Appointed. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Port Depoist, Md., Aug. 28—Rev. James H. Harris has been appointed pastor of Howard M. E. Chapel. He is a graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary. Mrs. A. D. Foust, of Wimington, Del. was the principal speaker at the women's services. Sunday Conowingo, Md., August 17. The Baltimore District Sunday School Convention composed of thirty of the largest A. M. E. Sunday Schools of the State of Maryland, closed its sessions here at Mt. Zoar Church tonight. The convention, which was the largest ever held, opened its sessions on Friday morning, delegates being in attendance from many parts of Harford, Cecil and Baltimore counties, as well as from Baltimore Cy. The program was very instructive and inspiring, covering all points of Sunday School work, feature being the Departmental Conference, for the Sunday School workers of different grades. More than a hundred delegates took part in these Conferences, and listened to the addresses and practical demonstrations of Sunday School work. On Sunday Convention Sunday School was held, all of the Schools in this vicinity coming in large farm wagons, and wearing their individual School colors. Reports from the district showed the Schools to be growing and to be prosperous in every respect. The liveliest interest centered in the awarding of the banner for the greatest progress along every Hozanna Sunday School ly.

Large and enthusiastic crowds were at every session and over one hundred dollars were raised for Sunday School purposes. Rev. D. G. Hill is the Presiding Elder in charge of the work. Bishops In Council. Pittsburg, Aug. 27—The Board of Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church held its semi-annual session at John Wesley Church last week. Reports were received from the bishops and general officers and the general needs of the denomination discussed. Bishop Walten was elected president for the ensuing term and Bishop George L. Black well, secretary. Lott Carey Baptist To Meet Washington, August 29.—Prominent Baptist ministers from a number of States will be here to attend the annual session of the Lo Carey Foreign Mission, Baptist Church, which will meet with the First Baptist Church, Rev. E. E. Ricks, pastor of the church he made ample arrangements for the entertainment of the many delegates and visitors expected. Dr. S. N. Vass For Religious Uplift. A tour of the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass summer has taken him to continent. He began with a institute meeting in the Zion church in Washington the June. Dr. W. J. Howard, pastor of the Zion Baptist church, arrived for the meetings, which not only benefited the members of his own parish, but the people of the community in general. Dr. Vass is a recognized authority on Bible history, and his lectures cover most of the important periods in both the Old and New Testaments. Sunday school teachers and leaders, in whatever line of Christian work whose privilege it has been to study under Dr. Vass have afterward rendered better and more effective service. From Washington the lecturer went to Chicago, where the N. M. C. A. and the ministers' conference united in the arrangements for holding NEW DU. S. N. VASS. REV. DR. S. N. VASS. Public institute, as the meetings are held. These institutes are held for one or two weeks in one place, just as circumstances warrant. The Chicago meetings were well attended and very profitable to those who took the course as outlined in the lecture program, which was changed at each session. In Kansas City, Mo., Dr. Vass lectured for one week in the high school building under the auspices of the Y. M. G. A., of which Mr. R. B. DeFranz is secretary. Mr. Edward Hoss is chairman of the religious work committee of this association, which has taken the lead of all other associations in this kind of religious extension work. From Kansas City Dr. Vass continued his journey without stop over whil he reached Los Angeles, Cal., where a meeting had been arranged for him by Dr. J. L.

Quick Presence of Mind Prevents Fatal Accident to Clergyman Amos Williams, a farmer living near Port Jakepee, N. Y., recently saved the lives of the Rev. L. T. Stafford and wife, who were in danger of being killed in a runaway accident. Dr. and Mrs. Stafford were driving a spirited horse attached to a light wagon. The raising of the top to the vehicle frightened the animal, which started in a mad rush down a steep rocky road. Mr. Williams saw the dangerous position in which the couple were and by quick presence of mind tore a rail from the fence and felled the fleeing animal to the ground. Thus we have another evidence of the valor and kind heartedness of Afro-Americans toward their white fellow human beings. national Training School Publishes Newspaper nozzastic Worker is the name of a neat 19th-annual monthly paper published by the old National Training School For Women and Girls at Lincoln heights in Wash- ington. The paper is devoted to the work of the institution and carries monthly statements of its needs, help received and what it is accomplishing through abilities of active endeavor. The motto is "Work-support thyself-to utilize own powers appeal."

S. R. C. RANSOM THE A. M. E. CHURCH REVIEW. Current Number-Covers Many Topics. Praise. For Dr. Ransom. The current number of the A. M. E. Church Review, edited by Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, is a literary gem. The contents cover a wide variety of interesting articles written by a group of persons whose versatility of thought and intellectual heat presage high literary culture. The influence of the Review as a molder of helpful sentiment for the denomination and as an advocate of high moral and Christian ethics can hardly be overestimated. It hews to the line, never missing the mark. Credit is due Dr. Ransom for the splendid array of good things spread before the readers in this number. Powerful as a preacher, fearless as an advocate of equal rights for Afro-American citizens, an intellectual gandl. Dr. Ransom is doing a great work for the African Methodist Episcopal church in particular and the various religious denominations in general. On the front cover of the magazine is the likeness of Mrs. Alice M. Dunbar, who contributes her first article as head of the woman's department. The subject of Mrs. Dunbar's article is, "What Has the Church to Offer the Men of Today?" Would that this article could be read by every minister, layman or religious worker in whatever line of Christian work. It is instructive and full of suggestions for future review and action. Among some of the other subjects and their authors are: "The Fifteenth Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation," by Dr. Charles W. Elliott; "The Negro In the Higher Altitudes of Music in This Country and Throughout the World," by H. Lawrence Freeman; "The First Congress of Colored Women," by Hon. Richard T. Greener; "The Present Day Opportunity of the Public School," by Professor William E. Guy; "Training the Voters of Tomorrow," Professor William L.

The Southern Beneficial league in New York city is the largest in number and strongest in finance of any organization of its kind composed of colored men from the south in any of the northern states. The financial membership numbers 628. The league was organized twenty-four years ago. Its bank account at the last annual report was $10,000. Paul Hargrave is president of the league. Why is it? That a legless man can "put his foot in it? That persons who are! consumed by curiosity still survive? That frequently, a sinking fund is used to meet a floating debt? That straining the voice, is not the proper way to make it clearer? That we speak of a stream running dry when the only way it can run is wet? That wifes should expect their husbands to foot the bills without kicking! That we talk of some one, joins straight to the devil" when he has to be crooked to go there? Boston Transcript. Two Things Distinguish Men. The essential things which distinguish one person from another, which give one man a higher place and another a lower, are just two. First of all, perseverance—the ability to keep everlastingly at it, and second, imagination or vision—the ability to see beyond the present and to understand that the works at hand reach beyond the present moment and so worth while—St. Nicholas. Advertise—It Pays THE AFRO-AMERICA LEDGER C. G. ALLEN'S AMBITION. Rise of an Energetic Newspaper Correspondent in New York. New York.-Cleveland G. Allen of this city is one of the most-energetic newspaper correspondents of the race and is rapidly coming to the fore in the field of journalism. He has covered some notable gatherings both for the daily and weekly newspapers of this country and Canada. He was the only newspaper man of the race present at the great ecumenical Methodist conference, held in the beautiful city of Toronto in 1911. At Toronto Mr. Allen represented the interest of the fifty Afro-American delegates to that conference, representing the various branches of the Methodist church among them. He has covered the conferences of Bishops G. W. Clinton and Alexander Walters of the Zion church. Bishop Walters has given him much encouragement in his work, and his first trip was with Bishop Walters. Mr. Allen has reported the doings of the race for the daily papers of Atlantic City. Buffalo, Yonkers, Patterson, N. J., and New York. While in Buffalo he wrote for the daily papers of that city a special fea- CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. ture article on the life and career of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, one of the most noble women of the race. Recently Mr. Allen came into national prominence for his investigation into the discrimination of the United States navy against colored men. In his investigation he brought out that the colored sailors were enlisted in the navy only as mess attendants, were never promoted above that rank and were barred from the reading rooms of the ships. His investigation disclosed how colored men were forced to work longer hours than the whites, were required to report an hour earlier when off shore leave, had to stand while eating meals and that life was unbearable for them while aboard ship. Mr. Allen got these startling conditions before the secretary of the navy, who made an inquiry into these conditions and promised to remedy them. The daily papers all over the country took notice of Mr. Allen's charges, and many of them commented editorially on the investigation. He is continuing his investigation and promises to reveal some further startling facts. Mr. Allen has received praise from the leading men and women of the race for revealing these reolting conditions. Several months ago he got into a controversy with a leading New York daily because he attacked the present administration's attitude on the race question. He is well known, in New York, where he is active in Y. M. C. A. and church work. He is a member of St. Mark's M. E. church. Mr. Allen was born in Greenville, S. C., of free parents and was educated in the public schools of his native town. He continued his studies at the De Witt Clinton high school and the City college here. Mr. Allen will enter the school of journalism of Columbia university this fall in further preparation for his career as a newspaper man. The De Froes-Patterson Elopement. Samuel De Froes, an Afro-American of dark olive complexion, recently eloped with Miss Gertrude Patterson, daughter of Frank Patterson, said to be one of the wealthiest white men in the Passaic section of New Jersey. The couple were married in Kingston, Ont., according to a marriage license which De Froes showed to the authorities when taken to the county jail in Paterson, N. J., having been arrested on complaint of his wife's father on his return from Canada. The couple were released from the county sheriff's custody upon evidence of legal marriage. The bride is said to be one of the handsomest white girls in northern Passaic county and an heiress to part of a $30,000 estate. Mrs. De Froes is twenty-eight years, old. Up to Aug. 25 no influence had been strong enough to persuade Mrs. De Froes to leave her husband. Mount Bethel Baptist Convention. The Mountain Babel Baptist convention held its thirty-ninth annual session at Fulton Baptist church. Division street, Baltimore, from Aug. 28 to 28 inclusive. The Sunday school convention, and woman's auxiliary also hold sessions on the same dates. The Rev. Dr. Jones-Walkins of Baltimore is moderator of the general body, and Emmet Preston is president of the Sunday school auxiliary. Mips, Lula Scott Richardson of Baltimore is president of the woman's auxiliary. Remarkable Advance In Education Forty-six years ago the number of colored children in school was estimated at 11,142. There were 2,087 teachers in schools for colored, and out of that number 900 were colored. The number of pupils reported in 1912 were $7,000,000 and teachers 31,000.

Shortly afterward Cromwell sent Rory a pressing invitation to the dinner when the preacher ususS THE PROTECTOR peectingly accept ER. STACTED A PRAYED. Cromwell. greeted him pleasantly and seated him opposite himself at the table. Then fixing his keen eyes on the abusive preacher the protector started a prayer which lasted three straight hours.

Once upon a time, the Chinese story runs, a Chinese magistrate's subordinate had come home very late and had had an unpleasant encounter with his wife. To his superior he explained next day that he was working in his garden when the trellis fell over and scratched him. © Kokubunji The magistrate, however, saw through the fraud and it, exclaimed: "Why deceive me, wretched, man! I know the origin to my good man? of your sufferings. It is your evil wife who has inflicted these sears upon you. O shrunken and inscrutable race of women, how many are the sins that must be laid at your doors, like vampires you come— Here the magistrate looked up and saw his own wife approaching with a scowl on her face and a broomstick in her hand.

Daniel Webster, Tazewell, and General Jackson's secretary of the navy were once walking together on the north bank of the Potomac, and while Webster lingered a little in the rear Tazewell offered to bet Bracken a ten dollar but he could prove him to be on the other side of the river. "Done!" said Branch. "Wett!" said Tazewell pointing to the opposite shore, "Isn't that one side of the river?" "Yes." "Well, isn't this the other side?" "Yes." "Then, as you are here, are you not on the other side?" "Why, I declare," said the victim, "so 4 am. But here comes Webster. I'll win back my bet from him." As Daniel came up Branch saluted him with. "Webster I'll bet you a ten dollar hat I can prove you are on the other side of the river." "Done!" "Well, isn't this one side?" "Yes." "Well, isn't that the other side?" "Yes, but I am not on that side." Branch had to pay for two bats and learned that it is possible to bet both ways and win upon neither. No Laughing Matter. An American visiting in England encountered one afternoon in the hotel in London where he was stopping a Scottish kinstan. The Scot agreed to dine with the American, the cousins repaired to the grill, and after suitable preliminaries a break was set before them. It was tough. The waiter was summoned. He was all apologies. Another steak would be forthcoming, or chops if the gentleman preferred. "Hold on," said the Scot, as his eye fell upon a dish of asparagus, which supported the steak on one side. He carefully consulted the bill of fare asparagus was expensive just then. "I'll tell you what well do my man," he went on. "If you'll no charge us for the asparagus we'll keep the steak." The waiter secured a bill started, but accepted the compromises, and the American, who was paying the bill, concealed his arrangement and allowed his guests' arrangement to stand. He even ate comfortably of the steak. A few days later he related the incident to another kinstan, who a Scot. "It is what I would have done myself," said the kinstan solen-deny - New York Post.

Dale, the enterprising proprietor of the Dale Hotel not only richly deserves the liberal patronage which he is receiving, but even far greater patage which will certainly come him as the many advantages of h most excellent establishment, are more generally known. The beautiful photograph the "Dale" which many of our rers, doubtless have seen, does not give an accurate and faithful estimate of the equipment of this sufficient hotel. It is absolute first class in its every appointment. It not only represents a great financial outlay in its construction but equally so in its upkeep and maintenance. There are 24 person employed in various connections in carrying it on, and they received stipends on a par with those paid in similar institutions of its class. When we say the cost of rooms range from $3.00 per week, it may seem a little steep in the light of what other colored hotels charge. It must be continually omen- that the Dale is in a class by it. It is cultivating an ideal to a considerable number of the more hastening. Some of the ugly high price rooms are of beauty and rich in con- tence, including private toilet bath tub. After all when one calmly down, and figures the cost else- me, he will find that in view of the tremendous advantages offered this first class hotel, the dear- er is the cheapest. Adjoining the hotel is a beauti- uil lawn tennis court, an attractive illard and pool room is part of the establishment, while the spaci- tary-rail-room is all that the lovers heart could desire. The Dining room is a thing of beauty, and best all there is absolute quality - how meals there served. Nearly, all of the other co- ntests charge about $8.00 or week for board and lodging. At Dale, one can get through the same amount, and at the me enjoy all of the many ac- cades of the place. But, while you get through on eight dollar week, he can easily make it two fifteen, or even more. You a your room, whatever it m bought, $4.00 or $5.00 a week, in when you purchase your meals to our own taste, or if you de- really perfectly permissible to make meals on the outside. It should be perfectly obvious that a maintenance of an institution at Hotel Dale, catering to the chest and best taste, necessarily requires such rates as would ensure excellence designed. We are glad that Mr. Dale is needing. He is not making it, but we hope he will some days. He is working out excellent and necessary ideal of life among our people. He pioneer in a necessary line, we believe, as the years come go, that the number ams who really want solid comfort pleasurable surrounding, increase to such an extent they will only be too glad a seemingly advance price is very best in that line possible race. Then, our good friend will will come into his own in the great experience we incorporated into him also come his reward and cents. Jersey Mosquito has a peculiar way of attracting the nation of strangers. While one paying his respects to us we denly looked up and discovered landing on the street corner a Jersey policeman in ebony. We can not match that in Baltimore, and we are told that there are two such, in this city. Of course, the permanent Afro-American population not very large. While we in itimore think we have in the neighborhood of nearly one hundred השפת השפת השפת thousand Colored folks in this place they have yet to reach the one thousand mark, and yet there is a Colored School here employing four teachers. We heard that the Principalship of the school is now vacant, and that a competent male teachers needed. The stipend, so we are told, is about $75.00 per month. Colored children from this school enter the one High School for both white and colored. Over in Wildwood, where we spent sometime, Miss Beatrice Johnson, a young Afro-American lady of some eighteen summers, and the daughter of the proprietress of the Glen Oak Hotel, graduated this year from the High School of that city with high honors. Miss Johnson, together with a young white lady, also of the graduating class, go to the State Normal School at Trenton, in the fall, for regular course in that institution, as representatives from Cape May County. Miss Johnson is the first colored young lady in the history of the Wildwood High School to graduate from that institution. Heads or tails the Negro wns.

They owned the town while they were here. --- THE PROPER SPIRIT In another column will be found a very interesting editorial from the Baltimore Star on the Boswell case in Charles county. This is the first editorial of its kind we have seen in any white newspaper. It breathes the right spirit. If all the white newspapers would only take up these matters in the right spirit it would be only a short time before a different condition of affairs would exist between the two races. The two races are in this country and both are going to stay here for many years to come. Just how we are to live in peace with each other depends largely upon the attitude of the white and blacks to each other The white people are in the majority and probably always will be. At the same time the colored people, with large and increasing numbers, must to a large degree depend upon the attitude of the white people for a proper recognition of their rights and privileges. Showing the proper spirit, the two can dwell together in peace and happiness and work to the advantage of each other. It is largely the function of the white newspapers to bring this about; will they do it? More editorials of this sort will help greatly. --- WHAT'S THE HURRY? The Sunpaper seems to think the Court of Appeals of Maryland is rather slow in sending down its decision in the sergeation matter, and would hurry things along. Perhaps the Sunpaper is of the opinion that if the Court of Appeals does not hand its decision down pretty soon colored folks will be buying property next to the corner of Charles and Baltimore streets, on the South side. Now my dear Sunpaper, the weather is still too hot to do much worrying; wait until the weathe get a little cooler and then go to worrying as much as you please. Have a little patience, don't worry. Some colored man has purchased a piece of property on Madison avenue, as we learn, for business purposes, and straightway, the Sunpaper and its fellow segregationists commence to throw fits, when as a matter of fact colored people have been living on Madison avenue since the memory of the Sunpaper runneth not to the contrary and more than this, his white neighbors have found no fault, as far as we are able to learn, with him. Colored men have as much right to purchase property in white neighborhoods for business purposes as have white folks to purchase property in Negro neighborhoods. As a matter of fact, we believe all the segregation laws allowed business establishments to be set up in segregation districts. The whole fact of the matter is that a large number of white folks would be only too glad to unload expensive and poorly paying property on colored people if they had the chance, and there is a goodly quantity of it west of Charles street and North of Biddle. Large houses, heavy ground rents, exhortant taxes, degenerating neighborhoods make is pretty hard on those who have property in that section, and many of them are looking forward to colored folks to take it off their hands. Much of it, if the colored people would take our advice they would let alone and in a short time a large portion of this section will become pretty much like Albemarle High, Exeter, Front and other streets in that section of the city. A MIXTURE OF GOOD AND EVIL After all it is not at all strange that such should be the case with respect to many public demonstrations indicative of race progress. When Dr. Booker T. Washington inaugurated the Business League, some years ago, with its annual meetings, there seemed to be a universa feeling that it was a good thing. In recent years there has not only been a wonderful growth in the annual meeting of the National Business League, but any number of "annual meetings" of various racial agencies but none hvae become permanent fixtures on racial life. The casual observer is tempted to rejoice in such evidences of racial prosperity and can scarcely see anything but good connected with these new racial institutions. There have always been those in the world who associate spectacular demonstrations, pageants, and commotion, with success. It would be rather difficult to incline such superficial people to wards a serious study of any problem. At any rate, we cannot fail to recognize the fact that there is great danger to racial progress lurking in all these great demonstrations. So far as the motive is concerned, we can readily understand the inspiration which comes to the race through such demonstrations, and the genuine store of information of the progress of the race along all lines which is thus communicated with helpful results. But with these thrilling stories of wonderful racial achievements, multiplying as the years go by, lurks a real but not always apparent danger. This danger manifests itself in indirect ways. One such way is the increasing propaganda of "jim crowism" under various phases. The ordinary white man, the common workman, the laborer, is not so much pleased with the outward signs of our prosperity, and our various "demonstrations" silently "rubs" it into him. And thus, public opinion among that numerous portion of our white population is more and more embittered against us. And, then too there is a constantly growing public opinion which seems to think that the Negro ought not to be further helped in educational and charitable matters because there are so many "rich" Negroes with "big" business enterprises. And we might mention other phases, but sufficient has been said to indicate that our great annual demonstration are not entirely without evil possibilities. It is very far from our purpose to discourage, the holding of such annual affairs, but what we do mean to emphasize is, the need of the utmost care and prudence in the planning and conduct of such demonstrations. We should learn from experience. We should become more conservative, and less spectacular in such things. It is a serious question as to whether the assembling of large bodies of our people, under the present strain of race feeling, accomplishes more good, or generates more evil consequences. At any rate, the real conservative and prudent leaders among us, in the various relationships, should make serious study along the lines we have indicated, and heroically endeavor to bring to bear upon the race the results of their matured thought and earnest and careful consideration. A BIG MISTAKE That the placing of the "Court of Honor" at the lower end of Druid Hill avenue was a mistake, no one with a grain of common sense will deny. It should have been placed in the block between Hoffman and Dolphin streets or between Lanvale street and Lafayette avenue where the Supreme Council and Grand Court of Calanthe held their session. This would have been the proper place. Just who was responsible for the mistake, we do not know, but we do know it was a very serious mistake. Of course it had the effect of bringing our own business place into more prominence, but personal reasons should have no place in having it placed where it should have properly belonged. We hope this mistake will not be repeated in the future. News From Wilmington Wilmington, Del., Aug. 28 -The band of the Tenth Cavalry U. S.

BIGGS INTERVIEWED Tells Just What He Means By A Change In The Curriculum of The High School Feeling that perhaps the Afro-American Ledger had been a little unjust to Mr. Richard J. Biggs, school Commissioner, on the school question, and with an intention to get at the bottom of the matter, and if possible, have a mutual understanding a interview was requested: Mr. Biggs was raised in the South, being a native of North Carolina. His father was the owner of a number of slaves, but was one of those who was not enamored of conditions as they existed at that time, and in consequence was known as a friend to the black man. As soon as it was possible he liberated them and made free men of them Since Mr. Biggs' appointment on the school Board, he has made study of the matter and given it serious thoughts, and came to the conclusion that he wanted to help the colored people, and so he sought the views of many other educators, whose views seemed to conceive with his. Mr.Biggs claims that his views and those of Dr. Washington are in accord. He believes that most of the colored children ought to have a good grammar school education; that there should be two courses: an academic, leading to higher education and a vocational one, in which the pupil should be trained in some useful trade or occupation. He says he has found a number of colored people who agree with him along this line and who have also found fault with the present curriculum of the High School, claiming that it did not suit our needs, in that it does not teach pupils to become bread-winners and efficient workers. At present classes are not formed on the elective system; they do not specialize, and there is nothing for the pupils to do unless they take up still higher studies in college or seminary. Mr. Biggs claims that vocational classes would increase the attendance fully twenty-five per cent. "The idle poor' said Mr. Biggs, "is as much a menace as the idle rich, all of which can be laid at the door of an insufficient education along vocational lines." He claims that too many children drop out of school in the second sand third year, and the cause of it is that the educational system does not meet the highest need. These children have to go to work and as the training received is not that which will serve them best along the lines of endeavor, they must necessarily leave school to go to work, and thus so much time is lost which could have been put to better use if the school had been a vocational one instead of only an academic course. The scribe interrogated Mr. Biggs as to what under those conditions would become of the children who wished to take up higher studies, that is, it the regular high school course was abolished and vocational training took its place. Mr. Biggs thought perhaps something might be done for these in some way. It was pointed out to Mr. Biggs that at Tuskegee pupils not only got an industrial or vocational training, but an academic training as well. He was not aware of this but was of the opinion that only the elementary grades were taught. Mr. Biggs thought there were too many idle young men among the colored people. There were too many of them walking the streets dressed up, smoking cigarettes. The scribe agreed with him but pointed out that the same might be said of the white race as well, to which he agreed. He thought, however, if these men had a chance at votcaional training they would have made better success as mechanics of some kind. He said that his mind is still open, and what he wants is to do the best he can for the colored people as he had no prejudices against them, but would rather help them than hinder; and that he is still seeking information along that line. Mr. and Mrs. William Stanley, of Philadelphia, Penn., was in the city this week, attending the session of the Suprema Lodge of K. of P. While her stay here she was the guest of Mrs. Holiday, 612 N. Eden Street. They left Friday for Washington, D. C. A. B. MRS. C. A. TUGGLE President of Tuggle Institute, Birmingham. Ala. and GrandCouncilon of Daughters of Calanthe of Ala. Convention Sidelights Isaac Hathaway, the sculptor, was on hand. He did a good deal of work writing cards for the visitors. The Missouri contingent, with a banner on which was the inscription, "We are from Missouri" made a fine appearance. The leader of this contingent was mounted on a mule. The only thing absent was a houn' dog. There were carriages galore, even if they did cost $10 a piece. The floats looked good, and the two goats that were in the parade seeme to be rather hard propositions for those who were non-Pythians. Amile Davage tooted some on his horn as he passed the office of the Arfo-American Ledger. The Baltimore lodges presented a fine appearance as did the ladies who were on the various floats. It seemed like every available automobile in town had been pressed into service. Dr. E. E. Underwood, of Frankfort, Ky., was one of the big men in attendance. He has been active in the political and civic life of his state, and came very near landing the position of Register of the Treasury under President Taft. There were a number of educators in attendance. This list included W. H. Mayo, of Frankfort, Ky.; H. P. Butler, of Orangeburg, S. C. and Charles Brown, principal of one of the largest public schools in St. Louis. The latter's daughter, Miss Maudelle Browne, is a teacher in the local High School. The Kentucky delegation kept open house Tuesday night at 1402 Druid Hill avenue, and it is needless to say that everybody got a royal welcome. That there was a genuine feeling of good will toward the visitors is indicated by the many homes decorated. This feeling was heightened by the fact that the headquarters of the local lodges of the other wing of the order was handsomely decorated. Dr. C. M. Wade, of Hot Springs, Ark., is one of the fixtures at Supreme Lodge Meetings. He enjoys a wide circle of friends at Supreme Lodge meetings, and is interested in the work of the Pythian sanitarium at Hot Springs. Rev. E. J. Lunou, wife and son, pastor of St Paul A. M. E. Church, Hot Springs, Ark., are in the city attending the Pythian Convention. Messrs. H. W. Hiner, G. S. Whyte, T. J. Holliday and Alex. Martin were the guests of Mrs. Ellen Berry during the Sunday School Convention at Conowingo. W. S. Willis, president of the Willis Realty and Construction Co. Waco, Te., is among the substantial delegates. The company is capitalized for $10,000 and has a snriplus of $8,000. Charles Willis, widely known correspondent; Roscoe C. Simmons, editor of the Memphis Sun; W. H. Mayo, of the Kentucky Masonic Heralds; E. Austin, of Dallas, Tex. Express are among the many newspaper men in attendance. George L. Knox, editor of the Indianapolis Freeman, dropped in to look over the Convention Thursday. He is one the veteran editors of the country and his paper is one of the most widely circulated. Many of the delegates are profuse in their praise of the courtesy of the police and the street car men. GOODBYE KNIGHTS AND LADIES - - COME AGAIN. Cadets from Washington were line. These boys walked all the way from their city. Pennsylvania had a large contingent in the parade. The bands seemed like they played their best when they spied the elaborate decorations on Smith's Hotel. East Baltimore turned out in full to see the parade. Though the Pennsylvapia avenue merchants did not have the pleasure of having the parade pass their places, their patrons did. There have not been so many people on Druid Hill avenue at one time since the Odd Fellows held their parade three years ago. The lemonade and ice water boys did well along the line of march. Some of those who were dry resorted to their thirst quenching emporium. Allen Lodge, the largest in the State, made an imposing show Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. George W.

Pendleton has succeeded in getting about thirty men released, from the House of Correction through habeas corpus proceedings. Most of the men are white and had been sent to the prison for alleged trespass upon the propriety of the Baltimore and Ohio Rairoad. He succeeded in having two white and two colored men released Thursday. He says that Superintendent Lankford, of the prison, has refused to let him some of the men who wanted to retain him in an effort to get out and threatens suit.

Knights of Pythias and who are largely responsible for its success J. EDWARD SMITH Donations and Subscriptions Attends Meetings of Jour nalists, Business Men and Knights of Pythias This is a moving world, and I am sure that I am a part of this world because I have been doing some moving myself, and I don't know whether it is possible for the world to keep up with me. I am in this office this week writing to you, and I will be far from you next week. I may write to you before I leave Baltimore, because when I do leave here, I am going directly to Little Rock, Arkansas, and this will be one good long ride. I took my pen in and last week in Philadelphia to write unto you. I was there attending the National Negro Business League, and it was a business concern and there was an Xray exhibition connected with the closing cenes. Many were the men and women who attended the session. first went to the National New Press Association, and heard newspaper men tell their ex-ience. It was interesting to those newspaper men talk about the business and what they are doing to create sentiment for our people. I did not know before that there was so much in the business. If you if there is a class of who ought to go to heaven, that class who make up the newspapers in this country. Use all the influence I have them all in. They have good work and deserve a place in the angels. John H. Murphy was the president of the Association, and I will predict many things it in the future. Henry Allen and was continued in the position of corresponding secretary as has made a good one. There several things in the program did not happen. For instance Brooker Washington did not make an address, but the newspaper men protested, and he had them and made a good reafor not. He is in sympathy the them and could not be otherse. Editor T. Thomas Fortune, no-has-inspired many of our non-practive part in each session of the convention, and he had some good things to say. He has been the business for a nu mer of papers and has written for one of the leading daily papers of the country. I hope to see the time some when we can have a few more The Press Association closed and then we turned our attention to the Business League, and I met many of the big men of the country. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with one of the greatest champions of the racial cause today, Hon. J.C. Napier. I am sure you will agree with me that he is a great man for when there was a word sent to him about segregation he resigned. Mr. Napier is chairman of the Executive Committee of the National News Business League and he is a taiking to the league, Emmett I have told until it is open for me more about I was one of the men who had spoken out in meeting. It was a meeting of telling experience. "Sometimes up and sometimes down and sometimes level with the ground, thanks be unto God I am still on the mountain top." You have doubtless heard about Madam C. J. Walker, of Indianapoils. The woman who has discovered a way to make hair grow on hairless heads, and to make short hair grow long. She was there to shake my lily black hand. She came from Indianapolis to Philadelphia in her car, and what impressed me more than anything else, she allowed me to ride around in it and that made me a still larger man in town. It is a car carrying six passengers. Well, one day I dressed for who should last the longest, but my hat looked like it was ready for the soap factory. A lady looked at it and then sent me a five dollar Stetson, and all of this added to my pleasure. I shall tell you all about Mrs. Walker's trip in my next letter. They had a big reception and banquet and it is needless for me to tell you I was there. Mrs. Walker sent her car for me. I had on a full dresses suit, red tie and bandana handkerchief. I sure did attract attention until the dancing started, and then I was no longer in it, for the men and women alike all turned attention to the fine dresses and the like. I am not able to tell you all I saw during the session, but I saw enough. There were so many people who spoke and who had something to say that I shall not attempt to tell you all about them. I remained in Philadelphia until Sunday morning as the guest of Mrs. Mabel A. Bailey, and then there was A. P. Caldwell, who contributed much to my pleasure as did R. C. Houston, Jr., of Fort Worth, Texas. I left Sunday morning for this place, because I saw in the paper that I was to preach in Waters Chuurch. I reached the city and went direct to the home of the pastor, Rev. A. L. Gaines, whose guest I am during the week. He was looking for me and received me on time. He assured me that I was on time and was welcome as did his wife and daughters. Dr. Gaines has a family that believe in his friends and they are all ready to do anything in their power for his friends. When he opens his house to you, you are just welcome. His wife will do the cooking and his daughters will do the serving. Such men will win favors and then they will be handed the higher things in life. Mark what I tell you, the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church is yet going to recognize the worth of Dr. Gaines. The people were out in large numbers to hear me Sunday morning, and many of them shook my lily black hand when it was all over Sunday night I was with my old friend. Dr. Harvey Johnson. You see we have been here in Baltimore for years. I know him, and he is my friend. Dr. Johnson as you know is one of the greatest men in the Baptist church, and he is rendering a great service for his church and people. Had the pleasure of looking into the face of Editor Chisum who is just pushing his paper and making friends all the time. I am here this week attending the supreme Lodge session of the Knights of Pythias. I am going to buy me some of them pretty clothes; and go right in line with them big men. I have been able to get pass words, and get into the lodge. I heard one man telling the other the word and I remember it. You approach the door and ask, "What is the House?" "Don't you know," the door keeper would ask and all you had to do was to say, "Knigh Time," and the door would open and you entered, got down on your knees THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER de and touched the floor with your head to salute the Supreme Commander Chancellor. I hope they will not kill me for, telling this, for it was so funny I could not keep it.. I am a full Knight now. Look out for my letter, in which I will tell you all about the Knights. If I get expelled I will let you know about it also. If you desire to write me send your letter to 15 N. Hill street, Nashville, Tenn., as I will be there during the National Baptist Convention. Thieves Break in and Steal Money The drugstore of Joseph S. Fennell, Druid Hill avenue and Biddle streets, was robbed a few weeks ago. The thief badly damaged a $200 cash register, and secured $31 in money. The police are working on the case. Entrance is supposed to have been made through the transom of the door. An exit was made through a cellar door in the rear. Mr. Fennell told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, that he had closed his place about two o'clock on the morning of the robbery. He says, that finger prints on the door of the transom indicated that the robbers got in that way. Only money was taken. Prominent Citizen Visits Here Prof. Thomas A. Long, Ph. D. Professor of Latin and Pedagogy, at Biddle Unniversity, Charlotte, N. C. who has just returned from a two months trip abroad, where he attended the Pan Presbyterian Alliance at Aberdeen, Scotland, and the World's Sunday Sunday School Convention at Zurich, Switzerland, spent a few days in Baltimore as the guest of Dr. W.

First Separate May The First Separate Company, which is connected with the State itia, may secure a permanent home of its own in the near future.

The place now used as a garage. The company has its drilling head quarters at Moses Hall, 608 N. Eutaw street. Captain W. Spencer is the commanding officer. Are you losing weight?

Sharp has opened a Grocery Store Etting St., near Presstman, w stock on hand at moderate Moses Barrows was a well off farmer living on the outskirts of the village of Hartsville. One day as Farmer Barrows sat on his veranda smoking his pipe a stranger driving a horse and buggy came along. Just opposite the house the horse suddenly halted and refused to go on. "Seems to be trouble here," said Moses as he walked down to the gate. "I should say there was!" exclaimed the stranger. "Consarn his pesky hide, but if you'll lend me an ax I'll cave his head in." "Had him long, stranger?" was asked. "About three weeks, and this is the third time he has balked on me. Say, now"— "Purty good lookin' hoss," said Farmer Barrows after he had looked him in. "Where'd you get him?" said with a feller. "We can swop. I've got a he trot him out. I'll trade you given up for anything with hide and hoots." The exchange was made without further words, and the stranger drove off. Farmer Barrows had said that there was a cause for a horse balking. It is generally understood that it is in his training. The new owner began to practice a system of kindness. The horse did not get a harsh word and was asked to do only light work. In the course of a couple of weeks his sullenness had quite vanished, and he was hitched to a buggy to be driven to town. He took about twenty-eight steps and then stopped. He expected to hear swearing and to feel the whip, but nothing of the sort followed. He was given a lump of sugar and patted on the back as a reward of merit. The next day he was hitched up again. This time he took a hundred steps before balking. No swearing nor whipping. More sugar and more petting. Farmer Barrows even sung the first verse of the "Sweet Ey and Ey" into his left ear. So it weat every day for a week, and the farmer then said to his wife: "That hoss is all right now and will give no more trouble." "I hope not." "I have always contended that kindness would do it, and here's a plain case of it. I shan't have a mile of trouble driving to town and back." On the road to the village and half a mile from Farmer Barrows' house the highway crossed a swamp by a narrow corduroy road. Only one vehicle could pass at a time for a distance of forty rods. The new horse ambled along as if it were a joy to live until he reached the middle of the causeway, and then he stopped as suddenly as if by a bullet. "By thunder!" exclaimed Farmer Barrows. He gave the horse five minutes and then asked him to please go on. Then he descended and gave the animal a piece of sugar and toyed with his car and asked him as a personal favor to resume his amble. Not a resume; not an amble. Travelers came up and stopped at either end of the blocked highway and called out: "Say, you, what in thunder is the matter?" "Horse has balked on me." Farmer Burrows used the whip lightly, apologizing to the horse at the same time. No good. He moved his coat and vest, spat on his hauds and was preparing to give that horse the licking of his life when the parson of his church drove up with: "Hello, Brother Barrows. What's the matter?" "It's this infernal horse! He balked with me!" The parson got down and gave the new horse a looking over and said: "Brother Barrows you've got a sulk" "Brother Barrows, you've got a sulky at home, haven't you?" "Yes." "Come on back and hitch that horse to the sulky. I think I know what alls him." "Can't I kill him first?" "No—come right along." "You'll never-get him ten feet." The parson mounted the sulky as if he had been there before, and the horse cheerfully started off at a good trot. A traveler came along with a good trotter and attempted to pass, but was left in the dust in great shape. The parson overtook two or three well known steppers and beat them to it handsomely. "Well, how many times did he balk on you?" the farmer asked as the rig came back. "Brother Barrows, you are a good man, but you have no eye for horses," smiled the parson. "How do you mean?" "You've been treating this animal as if he were a plug of a horse and thereby humiliating blim." "But ain't he a plug?" "My dear brother, he can go a mile in 2:30 this very day." "You—you mean?" The parson nodded his head. "But I'm a church member and can't even go to races." racing is very, very wicked, arrows, unless—your nag head!" JOHN H. HARRIS one of the prominent Mirsissippi Pythians who attended the annual session held here. PYTHIAN SESSION A LIVELY AFFAIR Batimore's latexstring has been on the outside this week for the hosts of men and women who have been here attending the seventeenth biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the fifteenth biennial sessions of the Supreme Court of Calanthe, the woman's auxiliary. All the business sessions as well as that of the opening were held in Bethel A.M.E. Church. The bulk of the delegates began arriving Sunday and by Monday there were upwards of 5,000 visitors here. Bethel Church was crowded when the opening session was held Monday. The first business session of the two bodies was held Tuesday. Supreme Chancellor Green announced the various committees following the opening ceremonies and Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati head of the women's auxiliary, did likewise for his branch. The seating of the delegates from Alabama Tennessee, Oklahoma and Virignia claimed the attention of the Supreme Lodge. In the first named two states, the Grand Lodges had failed to pay their taxes. It was explained that expensive litigation which involved the right of the colored lodges in these two states to continue their work had cost a good deal of money. There were two rival sets of representatives from Oklahoma claiming admission. The grand Lodge there elected two sets of officers at the last annual session, Dr. A. H. Tyson heading one section and William H. Harrison heading the other. Each side claimed that it was the legal grand lodge. THE VIRGINIA CASE The Grand Lodge of Virginia was suspended some months ago, following allegations made by John Mitchell, Jr., grand chancellor for that state, that affairs of the Supreme Lodge had been extravagantly managed. Mr. Mitchell and his colleagues were on hand, but their right to it in the convention was questioned, and the matter referred to the committee on credentials. The matter was generally discussed at the session yesterday. Mr. Mitchell had several attorneys engage to contest for him in case of an adverse decision. The discussion of the matters in the States above mentioned has delayed business of the lodge and it will be late this afternoon before the session will be concluded. Several thousand men were in camp at Shadyside Westport. These men represented the uniform rank in the various States and were carried through a daily program of military routine. The work of these men reflected great credit on Major General R. R. Jackson and his staff. There was some criticism made of the condition of the camp ground, but the men have been otherwise pleased with their stay here. They wil break camp to day, Saturday. Thousands of people have availed themselves of the opportunity to visit the camp. General Lewis E. Willimas and George H. Carter and other officers of the Maryland companies did everything possible to make the visiting uniform men happy. Come and go with us and have a days pleasure at Germania electric Park, Wednesday.

With the publications presented that fifth annual meeting the National Negro Press associations called to order in Cherry Mead. morris, Aur. 15. N. B. Dodson, chairman of the executive committee, after making brief introductory remarks, introduced L. R. R. Wright, Jr. editor of the Christian Recorder and chairman of the local committee on entertainment, who presided over the meeting, during which time addresses of welcome were made by Christopher J. Perry, editor of the Tribune, and Dr. William M. Slowe. The response to these addresses was made by Mr. Charles Stewart of Chicago. Abstracts from the proceedings of the Chicago meeting, 1912, and the midwinter meeting held in this city February, 1913, were read by Mr. Henry Allan Royd, corresponding secretary. Mr. Royd's report showed that a great work had been accomplished. The membership has been increased to 103. A newspaper directory, printers and publishers guide, has been compiled, printed and distributed to members of the association. The directory gives the number of publications in each state, name of editors, when issued and kind of paper, whether secular or religious. It is illustrated with pictures of some of the general officers of the association, various cuts, showing portions of the plant of the National Baptist Publishing House in Nashville, Teum, and other display advertisements. It carries a grouped picture of four the oldest and best known editors among our people, such as John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American ID. general of Baldwin; William H. Stewart; thirty-three years editor of the American Baptist in Louisiana; Christopher J. Perry, twenty-nine years editor of the Trilune, and T. Thomas Prume, who is recognized as the dean of the quill, brigade. Mr. Fortune is a founder and was for over twenty years editor of the New York Press. How to Secure Better News Service Our Papers" was the subject for session for the afternoon session today. Mr. J. H. Murphy read the lp paper, giving various suggestions as to how to secure quicker news service and how all papers belonging to the association might combine to syndicate the news to each other weekly. Mr. Murphy's paper was referred to the executive committee for action. Following this discussion Mr. F. R. Young, editor of the Norfolk Virginia Journal and Guide read an interesting paper, "Expert Methods of Extending Newspaper, Circulation, and the Management of Agents." in your own said: 'That these were the most intricate problems to which publishers have to deal, and methods of which I am speaking of those which have been used from time to time in my experience and more likely to all of you if you have tried to you have gained some experience and perhaps results. If you have tried them all you are fortunate and unusual as some of them are mental and expensive if letting options is an easy proposition, holding subscribers is the real aim.' have reached the conclusion that it is possible practical way to hold such a child that is to create a public account for your newspaper. There is a time, when the personality of editor is the chief asset for the copper in building and, extending circulation, data that time has has. We young men cannot build our papers with the same island of material with which Mr. Fortune built it. Age of Mr. Perry, bury the Tribune. The American people want news first, and opinion just. You will find three-fourths of your average readers more interested in the news column than in the editorial. The advantages of a reciprocal news view was discussed by Mr. James Anderson, Editor of the Amsterdam, New York city. His views on subject were practical and showed he had given much study to the others assigned to this sub-sample James A. Ross of Dotrep, and H. M. Gillian of Dotrep, "The Press and Public Opinion" he subject of an able address delivered on Monday night by T. Thomas Fortune, Mr. John C. Dongy, secretary of the A.M. E. Zion Church Extension, opened the discussion following Mr. Fortune's address. The first subject discussed Tuesday morning was "This Service For Weekly Newspapers." The speaker was N. R. Doolson, editor of the Afro-American page of the American Press Association. No. York, Mr. Doolson gave an interesting story of the service, how it was founded, how operated and the great good which had been accomplished on account of its economic value to editors. The discussion of this subject engaged the attention of the convention for over an hour. The service was highly commended, not only by newspaper men, but by the energy, business and professional men. It was indented by the executive committee, and each editor was requested to use the service as regularly as possible. "Playing Advertisements and How to Get Them" was discussed by Hunter C. Haynes, New York; G. Grant Williams, Philadelphia; J. Finkley Wilson, Baltimore; T. Thomas Harrison, Cambridge, Mass. Among the ladies who took part in the various discussions were Miss Amie May Vann, head of the subscription department of the Journal and Guide, Norfolk; Mrs. M. C. Kimmer, of the St. Louis Advance and Mrs. E. Pardel, Dosseur of New York. The election of officers resumed as follows: President, John H. Murphy, editor of the *Arbo-American Loger*, Baltimore; first vice president, Joseph J. L. Jones, editor of *Pythian Monitor*, Cincinnati; second vice president, Rev S. J. Jones, *Tribalship*, corresponding secretary, *Therony Allan Biff*, Nashville, Tenn.; recording secretary, W. H.

In a recent interview concerning the evoking decision handed down by the United States Supreme court indicting the civil rights act, a prominent New York lawyer says: "The federal civil rights law has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, but this does not extend to the state statutes. "I'm much as New York state has a law known as the civil rights law session 10 and 11 thereof, making it not only a misdemeanor, for any law keeper, theater proprietor or other public place to discriminate against a colored person or any other person by reason of race, creed or color, but also imposing a fine upon such person for the benefit of the person injured of less than $100, not more than $25, each such injured person pursuant to the laws as they now stand in New York state, has an absolute right to sue and receive a talm for his injured feelings whenever he is discriminated against by reason of his color, religion or creed." The reason for this view of the matter is that this particular lawyer was counsel for Georgia Curry, verses Fox Varieties company the owners of Fox's Folly theater, in Brooklyn, which case was tried before Mr. Justice Callaghan in the federal district municipal court, Brooklyn. Mr. Justice Caliphah after going through the opinion of that case very thoroughly, and all other authorities cited, by the attorneys for plaintiff and defendant in their respective opinions, decided that the civil rights law of New York state was not unconstitutional and that the decision of the United States Supreme Court. In the case of Buft versus Merciants and Miners Transportation company does not in any way affect the New York state law. On the contrary, it strengthens it and gives it more reprehensible and accordingly judgment for the plaintiff against the Fox Valeties company is rendered in the sum of $150. The Georgia Curry in question was a colored woman who had been asked to vacate an orchestra seat in the theater. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER ADVANCE IN EDUCATION. Booker T. Washington's Tribute to Worth of Professor Byrd Prillerman. Institute, W. Va. - The success of the Institute For Colored Youths in this town under the wise and conservative leadership of its principal, Professor Fred Prillerman, is one of the encouraging signs of progress which the race is making in this section of the country. The principal is a native of West Virginia and is well acquainted, with the needs of his people along all lines of business and educational endeavor. The people of this state are indeed fortunate in having such a school so centrally located, and as an evidence of their appreciation hundreds of young men and women take advantage of its provisions for study each school year. Mechanical industries, domestic science, agriculture, curpuncture, blacksmithing and dressmaking are among some of the trades taught. The institution owns seventy acres of land well adapted for raising all kinds of farm products. Its course of study is up to the standard, and the faculty is composed of earnest Christian men and women of large experience and broad learning. In recent years summer schools have been one of the features, and many young men and women who teach in the winter months take advantage of the summer sessions. The best available instructors in the country are employed. In an address before the summer school of this institute on Saturday, July 26, Dr. Booker T. Washington paid a tribute to the energy, worth and usefulness of Professor Prillerman. Professor Prillerman arranged for the education of Robert Sissus, an At- Oliver rican, brought to U.S. country by Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the National Baptist foreign mission board. Mr. Sisua is now in the third year of medicine at Mercury Medical college, Nashville, Tenn. President Pritchard has himself responsible to the foreign mission board for the education of Enest Ndidi, another African who recently came to this country from Herzidown, South Africa. He has also had his students build a wagon for the Buchanan Industrial mission in Middle Seafield, South Africa, besides donating a good delivery wagon to Miss N. H. Earroughs for the National Training school on Lincoln Heights, Washington. WORK FOR ORPHAN SCHOOL New York Citizens to Aid Institution In Charleston, S. C. President I. J. Denkins of the orphanage and reform school which bears his name in Charleston, S. C., is spending the month of August in the north, principally in New York, in the interest of his work. He is just as diligent while on his vacation away from home, as he is when actively engaged at his daily task at the institution. The orphanage himself is also on his annual summer north and is meeting with much success and encouragement. The New York Jenkins called on Mayor Larry Gaynor of New York city, whom he presented the needs to the Carrieston institution, and received a very friendly audience. After listening to the Jenkins plans for carrying on the work among the orphan children Mayor Gaynor became very much interested and agreed to appear at a public meeting in the interest of the work to be held in Sylver's Harlem River park on Thursday evening, Aug. 25, and deliver an address. Mayor Gaynor consented to the use of his picture on the program and other printed matter for the occasion. A committee of citizens has been selected to assist in working up the air, which is designated "an educational mass meeting." Several prominent educators in and out of New York will deliver addresses. Dr. Booker T. Washington has been invited to speak at the meeting and will also serve on the reception committee to receive the mayor and other distinguished citizens among whom the "fellowshiporphan numbers as its friends." Investment Company Gives Banquet. The Douglas Loan and Investment company of Pittsburgh is the oldest business寡寡 of its kind among the colored people in the Pittsburgh section of the city. The company was organized twelve years ago, and in objection to the membership plan and objection to the fund Text of the Lesson, Ek. xix, 1-6; 13-21—Memory Verses; 5, 6—Golden Text, Heb. xii, 28—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When the Lord spoke to Moses out of the burning bush at Horeb, the mountain of God, as he kept the dock of Jethro, his father-in-law. He said to him, "When thou must have brought forth the people out of Egypt ye shall serve God upon this mountain" (Ex. iii. 1, 2, 12). Now, after about three months, Israel is encamped at the mount of God, and Jethro came to him, bringing Zipporah, his wife, and his two sons, Gershom and Eliezer, the former signifying "a stranger there" and the latter "my God is our help" (margin of xviii. 2, 4). As they communed together of all that God had done for Israel, Jethro said: "Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods, and he offered a bristle offering and sacrifices to God. Then Aaron came and all the siders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God" (xviii. 7, 12). As Jethro saw Moses spending the whole day from morning until evening listening to the people's affairs, he said, "Thou wilt surely wear away; * * * this thing is too heavy for them; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone" (xvili, 18). And he suggested a better way, subject to God's approval, which Moses accepted (xvili, 13-27). Having reached Sinai and Horeh in the third month, Moses went up to God, and the Lord gave him a message for Israel, which he also a most important heart word for every believer, and first, "I bare you on angels' wings." With this we must compare Deut. xxxii, 11, 12, and note the process of teaching young angels to fly. Then in xsl. xii, 11, the secret of flying; then in Luke xvii, 37, the angel saims caught up to meet the Lord in the air. The words "brought you unto myself" (Six, xix, 4) give the key to all his dealings with us, for their intention is even, and more and more, to wean us from all people and circumstances into Himself that we may find our home in God and our all in Himself, living together with Him until some day we shall be ever with the Lord (D Thess. v, 10; iv, 17). The words "a peculiar treasure unto me above all people" (5) indicate a high calling and privilege which Israel did not begin to appreciate, nor do we. See the repetition, of the wonderful words "I Doent, vii. 6" and the full realization in Mal. iii. 17, and margin, for only in the kingdom at His coming again shall it be fully seen. Note the urging of some privileges to the church in Matt. xxl. 43; Tit. ii. 14; 14. Pet. iii. 9, and may He make us all willing to be set apart wholly for Himself Its ii. 9. We are too apt to say thoughtlessly and mostly, as Israel did, "AM that the Lord bath spoken we will 8" reverse 8 and chapter xxir. 3, 7, or as Peter said, not knowing himself or his weakness, "Lord, I am ready to go with Thee; both into prison and to death" (Luke xxil, 33). We are slow to learn that in us—that is, in our flesh—there dwelleth no good thing and that we are not sufficient of ourselves to think anything of ourselves (lom. vii. 18; 11 Cor. iii. 5). The rest of our lesson is a third day morning story (verses 16-21), but a story of thunder and lightning and fire and smoke and earthquake and a voice that unite the people tremble and say to Moses: "Speak thou with us and we will hear, but let not God speak with us lost we die" (xx, 19), to which Moses repent: "Fear not, for God is come to prove you and that His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin" (xx, 20). Ten times it is written that God spoke to them out of the midst of the fire (Deut. iv, 12, 15, 36, 36, v. 4, 22, 4, 23, 16, 10, x, 4), and it is also written: "Our God is a consuming fire" (Deut. iv, 4). We shall understand this more fully in our next two lessons concerning the words that were spoken out of the midst of the fire, and we shall see the contrast between God speaking out of the midst of the fire and from off the mercy between the cherubim. God speaking through Moses and now directly to the people is like speaking to us in Christ, who is our mercy seat. The saying in Ex. xx. 21, that Moses drew near into the thick darkness where God was seems at first sight a little perplexing, for it is written that "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all" (A John 1. 5), but it is the human and the divine side. If we would walk in the light we must see things from God's standpoint not from ours. How often we are reminded of the greatness of Moses as a prophet whom the Lord knew face to face (Deut. xxvii, 10, but we turn from Moses to the ground, like unto him who was God manifest in the flesh, the good made flesh, dwelling among us, who could say as no god else would three to five, the high spirit, me both seen the Father" (Deut. xxvii 18:1. Thu. III, 16: John I. 14: xiv. 10. "The Lord's bishops" Christ is the Lord God for the holy prophets. Those who do not hear the voice of God in Christ may have to experience something like the voices and thunderings and light pains and cacophony of the Lord. The wrath of the Lord will be a fearful reality to all who are not deemed to be plains of the Lord. Commitment to the Rev. w. The best summer hotel with the most delightful surroundings.

McCAULEY DORSEY. Mr. Dorsey was reelected grand treasurer of the Galilean Fishermen at their convention which was recently held in Philadelphia. Reported Facts Not True Unbelievable is the reported attitude of the people of Indian Head, in Charles County, toward the Negro who attempted an assault on a woman and fought a desperate battle with her husband in that neighborhood on Saturday night. It is declared in press dispatches from LaPlata that since it has become known that the intended victim of the attack is a woman of "Negro extraction" there has been a change of feeling, and that the case is not viewed as a serious one in that section of the county where the Boswell reside Miscegenation rightly is unlawful in Maryland. But is difficult to believe that anywhere in the state, even in sections where the a large proportion of Negro residents would naturally incline the whites to bitterness against the principals in a mixed marriage, so dastardly an attack as the Negro Thomas is reported to have made could fail to arouse public indignation. "In a civilized community every woman whatever her color or circumstances, as an inalienable right to freedom from violation. If public sentiment in any community accords that right to women of one color and withholds it from those of another color, it not only impugns its own civilization and sense of justice but also invites that race hatred which inspires many of the terrible crimes which occur in rural communities throughout the South. "Whatever the color or'extraction of Thomas' intended victim, if the original story of his attack upon her was a true account the people of Charles county should exact the strictest enforcement of the law in the case. "There is no color line in punishment for crime in Maryland." -The Baltimore Star Mr. Paul G. Stevens, of 2334 Etting Street, has gone to] Richmond for a brief stay.
