THEAFRO AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XXII NO.41 167 GRADUATE FROM HOWARD UNIVERSITY 167 GRADUATE FROM HOWARD UNIVERSITY Largest Class In The History of The Institution Receive Diplomas BRYAN DELIVERS ORATION D. O. W. Holmes, of Baltimore Receives Honorary Master's Degree Washington, June 3. — The largest number of colored youth in the history of Howard University or as Dean Miller remarked, in the history of the world received the bachelor's degree in Art at the commencement today. The recipients of degrees from all departments numbered 167 and their march from the main hall to the open air theatre at the north end of the campus, where the exercises were held, was the most brilliant of recent years. William H. White, Jacob E. Jones, and Mrs. Helen B. Irvin, formerly teacher of domestic science in the Baltimore High School, are the Baltimoreans who received degrees. BRYAN SIMPLE IN ATTIRE Next to the graduates, the chief attraction was Hon Wm. J. Bryan, who delivered the commencement address on "The Measure of Greatness." The short coat and panama hat of the Secretary of State, indicative of Jeffersonian simplicity, contrasted sharply with the academic robes of the University officials. Mr. Bryan said that he would set no limit in dollars and cents to the money a man could rightfully earn. Greatness, however, is not to be measured by money, but by happiness, and he, who would be greatest must serve. For best service, three kinds of education are necessary physical, intellectual, which gives a consciousness of preparedness, and moral. On this last Mr. Bryan laid special emphasis. He remarked the number of college men who strayed away from religion, because they will not believe anything they do not understand. This is not a sufficient reason for can the mystery of the red cow that eats green grass and gives white milk with yellow butter he scientifically explained. The moral things are the things paramount. Honorary degrees were conferred upon Mr. D. O. W. Holmes, of Baltimore, master of arts; Rev. Alan Hudson of Brockton, Mass., and Rev. D. Butler Pratt, of Washington, D. C., doctor of divinity; Dr. Charles Purvis, of Botson, Mass., and Dr. Niel F. Graham, of Washington, doctor of laws. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of Washington, Rev. Alan Hudson, of Brockton, Mass., and Rev. W. G. B. Pierce, pastor of All Souls Church, Washington, were announced as the newly elected trustees.

ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP DEDICATED AT LINGOLN Lincoln University, Pa., June 4. —The College of Liberal Arts presented Thirty-three graduates at the commencement here Tuesday, among them. William V. Brown and Hayes Buckhannon, of Maryland. Julius C. Bryant of Georgia delivered the Valedictory and Edwin D. Miller the Latin Salutatory. Charles L. Jefferson, of Illinois, and John H. Waller, of Virginia, were the other Orators of the occasion. Honorary degrees were conferred upon Rev Hutchins Bishop of New York, doctor of divinity; Dr. Wm. T. Carr of this city, master of arts, and Dr. George E. Cannon, of New Jersey, president of the Lincoln Alumni Association, doctor of laws. A feature of the exercises was the dedication of the Alumni Scholarship of $3,000 to be known as the I N. Rendal Memorial Scholarship. The Scholarship was dedicated by Rev. Wm. A. Creditt, of Philadelphia, and accepted in the name of the University by President J. B. Rendall. The first memorial presented to the University by any of the graduating classes, a sundal erected in front of the Library building, was given by the class of 1914. CLASS DAY EXERCISES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Washington, June 1.—The Class Day Exercises of the Senior Class of the College of Arts and Sciences of Howard University were held on the afternoon of May 28, in the Rankin Memorial Chapel and on the Campus. Miss Grace Coleman of Washington, D. C., delivered the Salutatory, Miss Geneva Townes of Washington, the History; Miss Harriet Heard, of Athens, Ga., the Prophecy; H. E. Moore, of Jackson, Mississippi, the Oration; Otto L. Bohanon of Washington, the Class Poem. Mark Rivers of Washington was the Satirist, Lucio Brown, of Louisville, Kentucky the Giftatorian. Miss Madre Penn of Omaha, Neb., read the Class Will; T. R. Davis of Fort Smith. Arkansas, the Mantle Oration, and Miss Eva Dykes of Washington the Valedictory. On the Campus Samuel A. Allen on behalf of the Class presented the University a drinking fountain. The fountain consists of an iron bowl provided with three drinking tubes, the whole resting on a solid metal base, and is situated to the right of the man recitation hall. President Newman for the University accepted the fountain and was the first to drink there from. On Class Day "NIKH" the Class Annual volume 1 made its appearance. The annual is dedicated to Kelly Miller, Dean of the College. "who has impressed upon the succeeding generations of Howard men a love of scholarship and appreciation of the highest in all fields of endeavor." The Annual contains Cuts of the members of the Faculty and of the Senior class, views of the campus and buildings, and pictures of the athletic and debating teams. In addition to personal mention of members of the class, sections are devoted to the Y. M. C. A. to the publications of the University, the Musical Clubs, and the Fraternities. Lorenzo Turner of Rockville, Md., is president of the class; Miss Grace Coman of Washington, secretary. MARRIED AT WESTMINISTER Westminster, Md., June 4 Rev. John C. Norris, of the Washington M. E. Conference, who is pastoring a New Market, Md., was married in this city May 28, to Miss Blanch M. Squirrel. Dr. D. L. Washington performed the ceremony. MORRIS TO SEE NEW YORK BANK FIRM MORRIS TO SEE NEW YORK BANK FIRM Liberian Secretary of Treasury to Discuss Financial Matters With Kuhn, Loeb Co. PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDENT Secretary Informs President of His Country's Objection to the Collection of Customs. Matters of moment to the republic of Liberia will be taken up with Kuhn, Leeb Company, the New York bankers, when Hon. John Lewis Morris, the Liberian Secretary of the Treasury, and Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to this country, arrived in New York next Tuesday to discuss some disputed points regarding the collection and the distribution of the Liberian customs duties. The banking firm subscribed a large amount of the Liberian loan of 1911, which was used to pay off the Liberian debt. Reed Paige Clark was named by the United States to receive the customs duties and to provide for the sinking fund and interest charges on the loan. The Liberian government maintains a military frontier force to prevent goods from being smuggled into the country and Reed Paige Clark, it is said, has retained sufficient revenue with which to pay this force. This feature has been particularly displeasing to the little West African republic, the contention besign made by Liberia that it is capable of paying out its own revenue for its domestic needs. It has been hinted in some quarters that Kuhn, Loeb Company is desirous of establishing a financial oligarchy there, but this is denied by one of the members of that firm. PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT Secretary Morris was presented to President Wilson, at the White House, Washington, Monday. Consul Lyon accompanied him. During their interview, which lasted nearly half an hour, Secretary Morris, it is said, told the President what objections his country had to offer regarding the method of collecting its customs. The interview was most cordial, and it was the first occasion that President Wilson ever met a colored cabinet official. Mr. Morris attended the Howard University commencement in Washington Wednesday, and was formally presented to the vast throng that attended the exercises. Accompanied by Consul Lyon, he will visit Richmond this month and also attend the commencement exercises of Wilberforce University. TENTH CAVALRY HERO BURIED WITH HONORS Greensboro, N. C., May 31. The funeral of Thomas Reese Alexander, of the Tenth Cavalry, who was killed on the Mexican border by Mexican sharpshooters, was held at St. James Presbyterian Church. Touching eulogies were delivered by Rev. C. H. Shute Col. James H. Young, Dr. Sebastian and Captan Gilmore. The deceased was regarded as a fire soldier. 123 DR. TERRY REINSTATED AS MEDICAL INSPECTOR Atlantic City, N. J., June 4. Dr. Edward Terry, a medical inspector in the city schools, was reinstated by Assistant Commissioner of Education J. Brognard Watts Tuesday, who reversed the indefinite suspension imposed by the School Board because he was absent from its duties without leave. It was also alleged that Dr. Terry had asserted that unless action were taken Atlantic City would have "Jim Crow" schools. This statement was traced to another source. Dr. Terry's absence was because of his being at the bedside of his dying mother. He was reinstated and given full pay for the time that he was suspended. The annual sermon to local fountains of the order of True Reformers was preached at Shiloh Baptist Church by Rev. W. W. Allen Sunday night. Addresses were given by Rev. James Robinson, Delaware Williams, Hezekia Brown, chief of the Baltimore division, and others. MUCH INTEREST IN HOSPITAL DENEFIT Public interest is being heightened in the benefit that will be given for Provident Hospital at Ford's Grand Opera House the latter part of this month. Word has been received from Ford Dabney, who is in New York that has received assurances from a number of those prominent in the theatrical world that they will be here to take part in the big show. Bert Williams, the inimitable comedian, is also expected to be here in order to lend gladness and mirth to the occasion. From present indications, the demand for seats will exceed that of last year. The new handsome new front to the hospital is nearing completion, as well as other improvements, and funds are needed to finish the work. As soon as the date for the benefit is agreed upon, the ticket for the affair will be placed on the market. As was stated in last week's issue, the management of the theater have again donated its use. GOOD WORK BY CITY MISSIONERS St. Louis, June 5.—Among the organizations doing effective work among the colored people is the Woman's Board of City Missions, an inter-denominational affair.

MORGAN COLLEGE MAY GET GOOD SUBURBAN SITE MORGAN COLLEGE MAY GET GOOD SUBURBAN SITE President J. O. Spencer Makes Announcement at Alumni MISS HENRY NOW PRESIDENT Trustees of Princess Anne School Will Erect New Addition to That Morgan College may secure a desirable site of 20 acres within the five-cent car limit was the information given by Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of the college, at the annual reunion of the Morgan College Alumni Association Wednesday night. The reunion was attended by quite a number of the old"grads," both men and women. President Spencer, who responded to the last toast, declared that Morgan College had a great opportunity for usefulness as it was the chief educational center for more than 200,000 people. He pointed out that its course in education is being so shaped that graduates of its collegiate department will be given life certificates as teachers. He said that the demand for social workers would be met by the starting of a course in practical sociology next fall. His reference to the probable location of the college in the suburbs was greeted with applause. Others who responded to toasts were Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, Ephram Jackson,Dr. S. B. Hughes, Rev. W. A. C. Hughes and Rev. S. Jotley, the latter giving reminisces when the college was known as the Centenary Biblical Institute, Dr. T. S. Hawkins as toastmaster. Prior to the speechmaking a business session was held and the following officers elected: Miss M. Josephine Henry, president; Prof. Carrington L. Davis, vice president; C. Harry Johnson, recording secretary; Miss A. L. Lewis, corresponding secretary; Mr. M. C. Camper, treasurer, and Rev. S. H. Norwood, chaplain. Instead of a banquet a light luncheon was served, the alumni deciding to use the money saved in helping to establish a scholarship. The board of trustees of Morgan College met Thursday morning to consider some matter affecting the interest of the schools. Reports were received from Dr. J. O Spencer regarding the work done during the past year. It is said that a tentative site in the suburbs was discussed. At a meeting of the trustees of Princess Anne Academy, held here Tuesday, it was decided to erect an addition to the girls' dormitory at the academy. The improvements will cost about $4,000, half of which is already in hand. Rev. S. S. Jolley was selected chairman of the building committee. CONFERENCE IN SESSION Bridgeport, Conn..

The commencement exercises were largely attended. The address to the graduates was delivered by Jasper L. McBrien. The oratorical contests for the Baldwin and Hughes medals were spirited affairs. The contestants were Miss Sarah Lena Stuart, whose theme was "A Call To Social Service;" John Wendell Grinage, who spoke on "Business Responsibility;" Miss Minnie H. Woolford, whose subject was "The Home and the School," and William T. Bell, who spoke on "The Young Mens Christian Association and its Relationship to the Church."

INSURANCE COMPANY GOES INTO NEW HOME Norfolk, Va., June 3. The new building of the Virginia Beneficial and Insurance Company was open for public inspection Monday. The building is a handsome two story structure located at 526-28-30 Queen street and cost $12,500. The first floor of the building is occupied by Browns Savings and Banking Company. I. T. Hatton, a colored architect of Washington, designed the building, and J. W. Wells, a colored contractor of this city, erected it. The company was organized in 1898 with a capital stock of $5,000. Rev. A. L. Gaines, now of Baltimore, was its first president. The capital stock has since been increased to $50,000. The company has paid out claims to 45,000 persons and had issued 70,000 policies. Its business during 1913 was $19,000 more than that of the previous year. The present officers and directors are: E. C. Brown, president; M. R. Jackson, vice president; J. T. P.

Commencement Season Opens With Outdoor Reception to the Eleven Student Literary Societies—Alumni Discuss Practical Subjects From Actual Experience In Doing Things. Tuskegee, Ala.-The Tuskegee institute brought a very strenuous year to a close on Thursday, May 28, when Principal Washington handed out 200 diplomas to graduates and postgraduate students. These students, both postgraduates and graduates, represented thirty-seven various trades and industries, the majority in postgraduate work falling to domestic science and agriculture in some phase or other. In no year has the representation been so varied as to states and foreign countries. Students from the Danish West Indies, British West Indies, Cuba, Porto Rico, Colorado, California, Iowa, several of the New England states and more nearby western states carried off diplomas along with those of the stricly southern section of the country. The commencement season opened on Saturday, May 23, with an outdoor reception to the eleven student literary societies of the school. On Saturday evening the same societies held their annual prize declamation contest in the auditorium. Sunday was baccalaureate day. Line of March Extends Half a Mile. The imposing feature was the long line of march of teachers, students and graduates. The school band took the lead. It was followed by the young men in the institution, who in turn were followed by the young women, making a line of 1.200 students. The students were followed by the members of the executive council and some 180 teachers. Following the teachers came the graduates. The young women and young men marched in couples. The girl graduates were dressed in pure white, carrying white parasols. The young men were dressed in blue coats and white trousers. The line of march started from the battalion grounds, forming a circuit of half a mile, leading up to the chapel door. Here the students in front halted and stood in position while the faculty and graduates marched through and into the chapel. Students, teachers, faculty, parents of graduates, visitors and white people from the town crowded the institute chapel to overflowing, some 3,000 or 4,000 in number. The sermon this year was preached by Rev. James J. Vance, an eloquent southern preacher, of Nashville, Teen. This is a custom. A southern minister preaches the baccalaureate sermon, while a colored man of distinction delivers the commencement address. Exercises of Bible Training School. On Monday night came the graduating exercises of Phloeps Hall Bible Training school. Like all the discussion by students, the subjects here are practical, growing out of the students' experience. Last year the graduates discussed rural Sunday school work in Macon county. This year the topic was rural church work. Students showed they had gone out among the rural churches of Macon county, aided in raising funds to build a new church, to repair an old one, to put in seats, carpets, organs and to increase the general attendance. In all cases they showed the training of practical workers, which is the purpose of this school rather than to award degrees of divinity. On Tuesday night the oratorial contest for the Boston Trinity church prize was held, a contest between eloquent representatives of the two upper classes. Class Day Exercises Held In Open Air On Wednesday evening came the class day exercises. This exercise was unique. It is held out of doors, in a hollow all decorated with lights and colors. The two upper classes met in front of Olivia Davidson hall, formed a line four abreast, the A middle class lining on the outsides, the seniors within. Long strings of paper ribbon were strung along on the shoulders of the lines on the outside. "Aud Lang Syne" was struck up, and the classes marched slowly to the entrance of the hollow. Here the two outside lines halted, while the seniors passed on under arches to their places around the platform. A program sparkling with little hits at the teachers and peculiarities of fellow students was given. A new feature this year was that of changing the date of the alumni reunion. Every year much attention has been given to the alumni, but only the class that had been out twenty years was expected to return in a body. This year the time has been changed from twenty to ten years. To get this started the classes between 1894 and 1904 were invited back. Representatives from most of these classes were present and made short addresses on commencement day. Most of these brought a contribution either as representative of the class or as individuals. The sums ranged from $5 to $200 per class or individual. Thursday, commencement day, was as much farmers' day as senior day. Hundreds of wagons, vehicles, horses and mules filled the hollow that was occupied the night before by the seniors. To instruct and inspire these farmers an exhibit of farm products, of stock, of useful household devices, was placed near by. Lunch stands had been stationed at convenient points. Long before 10 o'clock the grounds were peopled with farm folk and the chapel door besieged with the wives and children from Macon and other counties. Special trains from Montgomery and Opelika brought in their hundreds of visitors, and the commencement day spirit pervaded every heart. Once more the subjects discussed by students were practical, growing out of the speakers' experience. Nellie I. Mitchell, just finishing her education, discussed the old and new teacher. Marcel Mulony, a dressmaker, traced her dress from the loom to the wearer, explaining and illustrating not only how to make a dress, but how to choose and purchase the goods. Harrison Finch, a shoemaker, explained and illustrated the management of a shoeshop. To follow one subject in detail, John L. Campbell, from the agricultural department, discussed the growing and handling of fruit. He explained the method of choosing the soil, dug out the hole and set in a peach tree. Taking his spray, he illustrated how to combat insects and diseases that beset the fruit grower. Reaching the fruit itself, he demonstrated how to save the surplus peaches by actually canning them in the presence of his audience. PLACE FOR MAJOR YOUNG. Effort Made to Have Gallant Soldier Head, New York Regiment. New York.—Representatives of the United Colored Democracy of the State of New York have written to Governor Glynn suggesting that Major Charles Young, United States cavalry, who is an officer at present detailed as military attaché to Monrovia, Liberia, and assisting in the instruction of the Liberian army, be magistrate colonel of the national guard regiment of colored militia authorized by the legislature of the state in 1913. Major Young is the only Negro officer of his rank in the regular army. He entered West Point in June, 1884, and will have completed, thirty years' service next month. Under army regulations an officer can retire, with the consent of the president, after thirty years' service, and the prominent colored men of this city, who have been fighting for years for the privilege of organizing a regiment, plan to have Major Young detailed to active service after his retirement and assigned to organize the authorized regiment in this state. This plan would continue Major Young on his active service pay of $3,000 a year. Robert N. Wood is president of the United Colored Democracy, and the other officers include F. F. Peresett, William H. Austin, James D. Carr, John T. Thorne, D. Macon Webster, Henri L. Smith, Cornelius A. Hughes, Owen M. Waller, W. W. Hanley, F. Q. Morton, J. Frank Wheaton, Edmund O. Austin, Samuel W. Jackson and Rufus L. Perry. The letter to Governor Glynn suggesting Major Young for colonel of the regiment was in part as follows: "The adjutant general has postponed organization of the colored regiment, owing to the fact that not a sufficient number of candidates passed the examination for officers. It has again been proposed that the regiment be commanded by white officers. I desire bereweth to renew our objections to this proposal and to suggest a practicable means for the expedition organization of the regiment in accordance with the plain intent of the statute that makes mandatory provision for it. "To place white officers in command of the regiment would be a clear violation of the statute. The statute provides for a colored regiment. Nowhere in the military law is the term regiment, standing alone, used to describe only the private and noncommissioned officers of such a military unit as distinguished from its commissioned officers, but everywhere in that law this term, so used, means the entire unit, including all officers in command." The letter also sets forth debates in the legislature to support the content that advocates of the new regiment act refused compromise measures providing for white officers. The letter continues: "Intelligent and disinterested colored citizens of this state do not now desire nor have they ever desired to have a regiment commanded by white officers. If we are not to have a regiment in which colored men may aspire to any rank for which they are fitted then we want no regiment." UNION UNIVERSITY NORTH. Graduates of Influential Southern College to Perfect Permanent Body. The graduates of the Virginia Union university and of the Wayland seminary who reside in the northern or New England states are requested to attend a meeting in Bridgeport, Comm. at the Messiah Baptist church on Wednesday afternoon. June 17, at 4 o'clock. The object of the meeting is to complete the organization of a northern chapter of the Virginia Union University Alumni association, which now exists as a temporary body. The call for the meeting is signed by the Rev. William P. Haves and N. Barnett Bodson of New York, temporary president and secretary, respectively. The meeting will be held during the annual session of the New England Baptist con THE AFRO AMERICA J LEDGER LEGISLATOR AND CIVIC LEADER NATIVE OF WEST VIRGINIA. Brief Story of the Useful Life of a Former Lawmaker In Capital of Pennsylvania Who Has Served in Many Capacities — Honored by Knights of Pythias. Harrisburg, Pa.-The true principle of virtue and industry is very much in evidence in the ranks of the order of Knights of Pythias in this state. There will be found in the membership of this organization some of the most progressive young men of the race in Pennsylvania. Among them is a young man who was born in West Virginia. His parents being successful farmers, he was heir to a progressive spirit which has been a predominant feature in the affairs of his life. P. C. Moore has been a resident of this city for a number of years. He began work as a waiter; then he became a caterer, after which he became interested in local politics. His first political position was boss of a street curbing gang. In 1900 he aspired to higher political honors. He became a candidate for councilman from the Twelfth ward, being the only Afro-American running for office from this ward, and was elected. He was a member of the common council from 1908 to 1913, at which time the city went under the commission form of government. After his first election to the common council he led the ward ticket in every election. When the city had a Democratic landslide he was elected. At one time he was clerk in the recorder's office. The Hon. Mr. Moore introduced a number of important ordinances while a member of the council. One was of vital interest to parents. The burden [Name] HON. P. C. MOORE. of this ordinance was to prohibit children from attending theaters, roller skating rinks, museums, public dance balls, shows, circuses and other places of amusement during school hours and after 9:30 o'clock in the evening, unless accompanied by an adult person. He also introduced a bill to regulate the manufacture, storage and keeping for sale of certain chemicals and combustibles and providing a license fee therefor. Among the other bills introduced by Mr. Moore for civic improvements was an ordinance to require the fumigation and disinfection of all premises in the city occupied by persons suffering with contagious or infectious diseases. He had a street closed and another opened, and a number of streets were graded through his efforts. Mr. Moore was appointed on Sept. 23, 1912, messenger out of a large number of white and Afro-American applicants for the department of state fire marshal. On May 31, 1913, the head of his department asked him for his resignation as messenger and then appointed him a clerk and also one of his assistants in his department with an increased salary. It is stated that he is the first colored man in Pennsylvania to receive this recognition as an assistant fire marshal for the state. This young man of splendid energies is the youngest adjutant in the ranks of the Pythians in this state. He is a member of the Third regiment of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythians. He is doing a great deal to conserve the very best interests of Pythianism in the Keystone State. Mr. Moore claims that the race problem will largely be solved through the principles of the Knights of Pythians. He is a "self made man," and his contact with men of affairs in his early life had a remarkable impression upon him. He has held the offices of past master of works, past chancellor commander of Pythian lodge No. 34 of Harrisburg and is a delegate to the next grand lodge meeting. Use Common Sense on Railroad Day. While it will be an honor for any colored person to be asked to speak for the other members of his race to railroad officials on "railroad days." June 7 and S. It is earnestly hoped that the occasion will not be made one for self seeking. "The matter at stake is too important.

JUNE 6, 1914 Notwithstanding all the adverse criticism of his enemies. "T. R." still holds the centre of the stage. He just will not be crowded off. The news comes to us from Ohio that the American citizens of African descent out in that neck of the woods are almost unanimous in the opinion that Senator Foraker can "Come back". And moreover, they are to a man going to help him do so. This is real good news. HELP FRESH AIR CIRCLE The past few days has demonstrated more than anything else the need of the Fresh Air Circle. It is to be hoped that the people of this city will give generous support to this institution and that it will render a good account of itself this year. We believe the farm has been paid for, if so, this year should see the largest number of children sent out in the history of the association. Let the good people help and then let the Circle give a good account of itself. WHY SUNDAY BASEBALL? If there is any real good reason why the Sabbath should be desecrated for the purpose of a few individuals playing base ball or any other game the advocates have tailed to show it up to the present. Saturday is generally a half holiday during the warm season; the workingman, as a rule, has finished work at four o'clock every week day when he has at least four hours of daylight, and many other efforts are being put forth to ameliorate the working peoples' condition, so that there is absolutely no reason in the world why the Sabbath day should be made a day of sport, just to satisfy a few non-church goers. Open the door for base ball and other athletic sports and it will be but a short time when our present quiet Sabbath will be a thing of the past. We have been getting along without Sabbath base ball all these years and we can get along a few more years without it. ROCKS AHEAD Some of the institutions of our people in this city have been for a number of years supported by the public because of the necessity for such institutions and largely because of the character of those at the head, the general public having confidence in the management of the same. Some of them have from time to time published their reports which have given general satisfaction. The money has been as been collected, and much good has been done In some of these institutions, of late, there has been a tendency to use some of the money for junketing purposes. Delegate or delegates must be seen here and there and the money collected for one purpose used for another. We are hereby issuing a warning that there are rocks nearby, and if these institutions expect to have the favor of the public continued, they must confine themselves to using the money collected from the hard earnings of the people to the objects for which it has been contributed. We are not altogether prepared just now to do otherwise. We are not at all disposed to be captions and fault finding, but we are anxious that money collected for one purpose from a generous public shall be used only for the purposes intended. TWO TYPE MEN The names of Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln stand for two ideals that are absolutely irreconcilable. They are just as far apart as is the east from the west. The greatest problem this country faces today is an insiduous rebellion against the ideal of which the life of Abraham Lincoln was a true type. And, the opposing ideal, now, as then, is most faithfully portrayed in the personality of Jefferson Davis. Whether it be "race" or industrial problems, or any other of a social nature, they find their portrayal in the person of Jefferson Davis. Mr. Davis was of the "aristocracy." There was the spirit and notion of "superiority" and Negro slaves, and poor white men, free only in name, were not at all members of the "brotherhood" which included men of Mr. Davis' type. The rights of these in the under-brotherhood were just what might be granted them by their "superior lords." The personality of Mr. Lincoln was the incarnation of the vision yet to be fully realised, where, in actual reality, there will be no north, nor south, nor east or west, but one, and only one, race of Americans. The first emancipation, both to Negroes and poor white men, was accomplished when Abraham Lincoln offered himself upon the altar of his country. The second is now in process of accomplishment. Both of the "type men" have long since been removed from the sight but the battle continues, and truth is fast rising supreme over error. The spirit of caste, whether in the world, or in the church; the spirit of aristocracy, as well as plutocracy, are all eminations from the false and feudalic spirit which was incarnated in the person of Mr. Jefferson Davis. But, as one takes an honest survey of the constant march of truth over error, as witnessed on every hand, he must see in the distance victory and sure conquest. In his parting speech from the Senate of the United States, in 1861, Mr. Jefferson Davis, stated the gist of the old leaven in these words: "... When our Constitution was formed, the same idea was rendered more palpable, for there we find provision made for that very class of persons as property; they were not put upon the footing of equality with white men—not even upon that of paupers and convicts; but, so far as representation was concerned, were discriminated against as a lower caste, only to be represented in the numerical proportion of three-fifths. ... And when you deny them, and when you deny us the right to withdraw from a government which, thus perverted, threatens to be destructive of our rights we but tread in the path of our fathers when we proclaim our independence, and take the hazard." The "type man" Abraham Lincoln, who was to match this challenge, standing in old Independence Hall, Philadelphia, delivered himself on this fashion: "I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence, which gave liberty not alone to the people of this country, but to the world in all future time. If the country can not be saved without giving up that principle, I would rather be assassinated on the spot than surrender it. I have said nothing but what I am willing to live and die by." Grand. old man he was. Just about to assume the weighty responsibilities of the Presidency, he said: "While I hold myself the humblest of all the individuals who have ever been elevated to the Presidency, I have a more difficult task to perform than any of them. I bring a true heart to the work. I must rely upon the people of the whole country for support; and THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER with their sustaining aid, even I, humble as I am, cannot fail to carry the ship of state safely through the storm." Especially, all our leaders, and workers, need to study the character of America's great "type man," and catching his spirit, and sustaining his attitude of heart and mind, with such a "true heart" march bravely forward to victory. We must think first, and then, go ahead. WM. H. DALY TO ERECT THE As Result of Being Fore Of Former Place, Pur Building Big Playhouse As the result of his being a renewal of the lease theatre at 936 Pennsylvania THE FORUM The Afro-American Ledger assumes no responsibility for articles appearing in this column. Short letters will be given priority over long ones. Correspondents will kindly make their letters brief and to the point. All letters must bear the names and addresses of the writer, as an evidence of good faith, but the names will not be made public without the consent of the contributors. Write on one side of the paper only. Mr. Editor:— I want to take this opportunity of setting straight the gentleman from Kansas. I regret much that he is unable to interpret his mother tongue, but that is a condition over which I have absolutely no control. While my "nom de plume" was French, the letter was, I am satisfied, in clear, intelligible English to the average mind. The letter was written for two purposes and expressed the exact sentiment of the writer. Its plea was for efficiency and wherever possible, the employment of home talent. It made no personal attack upon the young lady in question. It stated that we knew full well that when we were getting the so-called experienced teachers we were getting perhaps little more than pedagogical tramps. Indeed, in no place in the letter was the application made to the young lady in question, as she could hardly be put in that class, for she has had very little experience at teaching. I will say, however, since the question has come up again, that this appointment is a good illustration of the fact that we get so-called experienced teachers, when as a matter of fact they come to Baltimore for real experiences at high school work. With all kindness towards Miss Crosswaite, it must be admitted that she has had little or no experience to qualify her, as an experienced high school teacher, save as the gentleman from Kansas says, her family connection and social standing. She taught for a short time, at the Lucy Laney School in Augusta, Ga., but, is the Lucy Laney School even an accredited high school? Can a graduate from that school enter any of our recognized colleges as a graduate from our high school can? No, positively no. Where then, does the experience qualification come in? Yet Miss Crosswaite is not to blame for her appointment. She is to be congratulated and wished well. Nor will she be to blame, if after two years or so experience as a teacher here, she is called west to a twelve or fourteen hundred dollar positon and goes to it, with the Baltimore high school left to secure someone else. It is for us, the citizens of Baltimore, to get together and see that matters in our school system are conducted in a different manner. Why not a competitive examination Lets get together, this is a democratic age. If we have an efficiency test and our home products are then found wanting, we must let them seek quarters elsewhere, but if favoritism, social standing or training for better salaries are to be offered at our high school, then let our own young men and women be the recipients. Again, I say Baltimoreans, awake! Un BOURGEOIS. PARTY AT ALBAUGH'S THEATRE On May 29,Mr. Bruce S. Wright 2222 N. Charles street gave a party at Albaugh's Theatre. Invited guest were: Miss Beatrice Parham, 1224 McCulloh street; Miss Lucile Wilson, 536 Biddle street; Miss Daisy Braxton, 916 Argyle avenue; Miss Ella Smith, 1819 Division street; Mr.Arthur Queen, 915, Druid Hill avenue; Mr.Arthur Ford, 2845 Calvert street; Mr. Edgar Johnson, 2226 N. Calvert street. After spending a pleasant evening at the party they took a joyride in an automobile to Catonsville. From there the guests returned to their homes. Messrs. Howard Wilson and Louis L. Perry have left the city for Detroit, Mich., where they have accepted lucrative positions. Miss Sarah Toogood, of 1141 Park avenue is spending the summer at Naragansett Pier, R. I. WM. H. DALY TO ERECT THEATRE As Result of Being Forced Out Of Former Place, Purposes Building Big Playhouse As the result of his being refused a renewal of the lease on the theatre at 936 Pennsylvania avenue, William H. Daly purposes erecting a new theater to cost $75,000 within the immediate vicinity. Plans have all ready been drawn for the new theater which will be one of the show places along the avenue. It will seat 1,500 persons and have accommodations for the largest shows on the road. Work on the new structure is expected to begin in a few days in order that the building may be occupied early in the fall. The Daly Amusement Company has been incorporated under the laws of Delaware to conduct the enterprise. The company has already taken title to $20,000 worth of property along Pennsylvania avenue. The deal to get possession of the Pennsylvania Avenue Church has not been effected as yet. Mr. Daly, it is said, may secure the property and turn it into a moving picture parlor. The church wants $24,000 for the structure and Mr. Daly's representative is said to have offered $22,000. The Hebrew that runs the moving picture parlor at Pennsylvania avenue and Hoffman street, it is said, has taken over the lease at Mr. Daly's old stand. It is asserted by some that white merchants along Pennsylvania avenue are quietly working together to freeze out colored business men by leasing or buying their property over the heads. Mr. Dalg is now giving shows at his airdrome. "THE PAGEANT OF LIFE" PROMISES MANY SURPRISES The Pageant of Life, a pantomime consisting of a series of tableau-vivants and aesthetic dances to be produced under the auspices of the Alumni Association of the Teacher's Training School, on Wednesday June 17, at 8 o'clock will also take the form of an Old English Dance Festival. The Pageant which aims to present through symbolic tableaux and dances the significant phases of life begins with the "Awakening of Life" and advances rapidly through the various experiences of an individual until the "Passage into the Great Beyond." Always is the idea given through an appropriate dance arranged to music of one of the famous composers, such as Grieg, Schumann, Mendelsohn or Dvorak. The idea, conceived, arranged and directed by Mr. Lewis H. Murray, will be elaborately staged with appropriate settings, costumes, electrical and calcium effects. The performance will start promptly at 8' oclock and will last one hour, dancing to begin at 9:30 and continue until 1 o'clock, for which Prof. Henderson T. Kerr's augmented orchestra has been secured. Tickets at all drug stores, and at 540 W. Lanvale street. MRS. L. C. CURTIS SURPRISED A number of ladies, representing the W. M. M. Society of Trinity A. M. E. Church, surrounded Mrs. C. A. S. Curtis, the retiring president on Sunday. May 17th. at the I. A. M. E. Church, West Biddle street, and presented her with a beautiful gold locket and chain, with a chip diamond. The presentation was made by Mrs. H. E. Frey. Mrs. Curtis responded in a few but very appropriate words, thanking the ladies for the support they had given her during her administration. ST.

Now that the Marathon Race is over, and has proved to be a success, let's all pull together for a big athletic meet sometime this fall. Let's bring Baltimore up on a level with Washington in athletics. Prizes were awarded to the winners in the Marathon race, at the Afro-American Ledger building last Wednesday night. The meeting was full of enthusiasm, and humor. The sporting editor presided and introduced the various speakers who gave their views of the race in particular and athletics in general. Mr. P D. G. Pennington, who presented the Stokes and Derry trophy, impressed his hearers with the importance of keeping athletic clean and manly, and also said that they should enter the game with 1917 W. C. McCARD the never give-up spirit, and cited the spirit shown by Beaman in the race, who fell when about 6 yards from the finish, but after being helped to his feet, "toddled and waddled" across the finishing line. Mr George B. Murphy presented the club trophy to the young Dunbar Athletic Association, and remarked that the spirit of unity which seemed to preade the members of the club could well be exemplified in the life of the race. In presenting the cup as first prize to Mr. Jones, Attorney Wm. C. McCard, said he consented to make the presentation not because of particular liking for speechmaking but because of the interest he had in the boys of this city. He further stated that no finer boy, as a whole, could be found anywhere else than right here in this city, and if at any time he could do anything to further their interests he could be called upon to do so. Mr. McCard expressed his willingness to offer a cup in the event an athletic meet would be held some future time. Lincoln University has announced its football schedule for next season. It follows: Nov. 7. Lincoln and Howard, at Lincoln. Nov. 16. Hampton and Lincoln, at Hampton. Nov. 26. Union and Lincoln, at Union—Thanksgiving game. Nov. 28. Petersburg and Lincoln, at Petersburg. Practice games not counted. The above is official and final. In an interesting game last Sunday the Baltimore Black Sox defeated the much touted St. Helena nine to the tune of 25 to 4, on the latter's oval. The terrific hitting, fast base running and clever fielding of the Sox kept the home team on the run and made them look like a bunch of "back-lotters," McClean and Fisher were the mound artists for the Helenians, while Hopkins twirled masterly for the Sox. The Sox will play the Y. M. A. A. this Sunday on their oval. Frank Jenkins, the crack distance runner from the Far Rockaway High School, easily won the twomile run at the national interscholastic meet held at Traver's Island Decoration day, in the fast time of 10 minutes 2.5 seconds. Jenkins is also a member of the Smart Set A. C. of New York. If the Terrapins continue on the toboggan at their present rate of speed they will surely end up in the cellar position. Consuella J. A. Duran, daughter of Mrs. Annie E. Durand, has returned home from Princess Anne Academy of which she was a student. ties, C. E. Queen. OLD CITIZEN PASSES AWAY. The funeral of Mr. John Boyer, who died at his home, 1124 Russell street, Sunday after a four-year illness from tuberculosis, was held at John Wesley M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon. Interment was in the National Cemetery at Loudon Park. Mr. Boyer was born in Chestertown, Md., 71 years ago.

A NEW COUNCIL ORGANIZED A new council of forty or more member was organized and came into full membership with the 10 St. Luke, on last Wednesday night in Keys Hall on N. Spring street.

Jolley Delivers Address The handsome new colored school at Lennox and Jefferson avenues. Towson, was dedicated with appropriate exercises Monday afternoon the building was completed and has been occupied since last fall but the formal opening was delayed. The exercises were attended by a large number of prominent residents of Baltimore county. The principal address was delivered X DR. S. S. JOLLEY by Rev. Dr. S. S. Jolley, of Cambridge, Md. Dr. Jolley sketched the various stages through which the race had come gave an outline of its progress since emancipation and praised the citizens of Towson who led in the fight for a new building. 3 Prof. John T. Hershner, assistant superintendent of schools for Baltimore county, told of the early efforts of the colored citizens to secure the new building, how their plea was received by the School Board and of the successful termination of their efforts. Albert Brooks, of the New Building Committee, also delivered a brief address. Mr. Samuel Torsell, of Catonsville, sang a soio, and a chorus of the school children sang "The Star Spangled Banner," "America" and other musical selectons. C. J. Woodland, principal of the school, was unable to attend on account of illness. The movement for the new school started over a year ago at a meeting held in the Odd Fellows Hall. Hugh M. Burkett led off with a subscription of $10. Other subscriptions brought the amount raised up to $300. A committee was selected to appear before the School Board and urge the necessity for a new school. The board was surprised when $300 was offered toward the securing of a suitable site. The building is two stories in height, built of wood, contains four rooms and cost $6,500. The committee whose work resulted in the new building follows: C. J. Woodland, president; Albert Brooks, vice president; Wesley Davage, treasurer; J. Q. Johnson, secretary; Goldus Hinton, Kenney Bond, Frank K. Augins, Edmond Gray, Robert Johnson, Alexander Frazier, Benjamin Jackson, Albert Wilson, Louis Davis, Carroll Stepp and Mrs. Elsie Watkins, president of Patrons' Club. Mrs. Mary Adams is vice principal of the school and Miss Jane Austin assistant teacher. Instruction is offered in the primary and grammar school subjects, the girls being given sewing in addition. ELKS PREPARING FOR NORFOLK TRIP A large delegation of members of Monumental Lodge of Elks are arranging to attend the annual session of the Grand Lodge of the order, which will be held in Norfolk, Va., August 25-28. Exalted Ruler William Smith said this week that the Baltimore continent will try to capture one of the prizes which some claim they were robbed out of at Atlantic City last year. Among the features will be a big outing given the visiting Elks by True Light Temple, of Hampton, at Buckroe Beach. A shore dinner will be served on the occasion. The members of Norfolk Temple, No. 1, Daughters of Elks, are preparing to entertain the ladies in great shape. T. G. Nutter, the present exalted ruler; Armand Scott, who was defeated for grand exalted ruler last year, and J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Sun, are among those mentioned for grand GOOD WORK AT ATLANTA COLLEGES Colonel Midnight Tells How Presidents Fountain and Hope are Making Good Valdosta, Ga.—I am one more time here in Georgia, and it will not be long before I will be in another part of the world. This is a world where a fellow can get just what he is looking for, and some things that he is not looking for, and I suppose I will have to take my share of both. I told you a few weeks ago, that this is an educational age, or that there were more children, young men and women making worlds, or holding this world up on one hand. You here orations that would put Demosthenes to sleep and make him know something about oratory. These young people are entering life and they see the whole world looking up to them and their learning. They just see themselves taking hold. But they soon learn that the people did not mean all they said to them and they have to meet a cold world. They did not know as much as they did. It would certainly take me a long time to tell what I have in my mind to say about these things, and since I cannot tell it all I will just say so much and then stop. You will remember that I have been to Atlanta, Ga., and while there I got to see some of them young people who are getting out of school and who are going to be heard from in life, if they only hear of their failure. But all are not going to fail, for they are too full of "I will" to fail. A fellow must have plenty of that when he goes into life, and when you see one with it, you will just thank the Lord and say no more. You do not know that I attended two commencements in the city of Atlanta,—Morris Brown University and Morehouse College. Both of these schools have men of our race at the head as presidents, and they know our people and are making good. Prof. W. A. Fountain, is president of Morris Brown University, and he has made good in this world. He has made the world know that he is in the world. He has made a success in life since he left the school room, and his report showed that the institution was in better condition than it had ever been. Many have been the improvements. Dr. Fountain, is not only blessed with good education but he has a deal of horse sense, as well as common sense. Taking hold of the college, following Dr. Lee, he just tied himself to the work, and sought the advice of Bishop J. 3. Flipper, who was himself president for a long time. Dr. J. T. Hall, of Americus, preached the sermon, and he certainly knows how to preach. He kept his audience as long as he desired and we were all sorry when he stopped. Prof. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, is just a peach. He is one of the finest men I have ever met, and he is a leader of men. That young man was put at the head of the school as an experiment. For a long-time—in fact ever since the Atlanta Baptist College was started there was a white man at the head of it. It grew to be one of the greatest institutions in the south for the education of young men. It continued to grow. There were colored professors connected with the school, among them were found Prof. John Hope, and he demonstrated that he was a man of rare ability. One day the American Baptist Home Mission Society, promoted President Sales to a secretary position, in charge of all schools of the society, and he put Prof. Hope in charge and called him acting president. I don't know just what that means, but it was not long before Hope was the real president, and then followed Z. T. Hubert to the head of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss. They have changed from Atlanta Baptist College, to Morehouse College, and the commencement this year was indeed fine, and some fine young men graduated. Prof. Hope preached the baccalaureate sermon. He discussed projections, and he knew just what he was talking about. President Hope reminded college men of their really unselfish duty to society. He spoke of the unreasonable demands made in recent years upon college men to follow enterprises that enriched them only materially; and appealed to them to enter again into their birthright as college men. It is given to the young college men as shown by has address to measure up to the real value in life, and he told them that they ought not be de- THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY BASEBALL IS NOT WANTED Speakers at Meeting of The Civic League Say There is no Need For It Sunday baseball was discussed pro and con at a meeting of the Afro-American Civic League, held at Grace Presbyterian Church last Friday night. The subject was brought up by Councilman Harry S. Cummings, who mentioned his attitude in opposing an ordinance for Sunday baseball. Second Branch Councilman Charles H. Heintzeman, the last speaker, said that he favored Sunday baseball. He gave as his reason that in South Baltimore where he lives that there is a large laboring population whose only opportunity for recreation is on Sundays. He said that Sunday baseball was much more desired than the continuance of resorts like those at Westport. He praised the way that Captain Brown runs Brown's Grove, however. Mr. Heintzeman, who is an avowed candidate for the Republican mayoralty nomination, took the place of Supervisor of Elections Edmund J. Wachter, who was to have spoken on "Business," but could not be present. Rev. W. E. Williams said that the regarded it as unfortunate that Sunday baseball had been favored by the speaker and he asserted that if the Sunday laws were enforced that a there would be no wide-open Westport. Rev. Romily F. Humphries spoke upon "Social Service" and Dr. C. A. A. J. Miller, assistant superintendent of schools, gave an informing talk upon school affairs. Dr. E. J. Wheatley presided.

JOHN HOPE ceived and cheated out of realities by mere appearances, such as wealth and some honors often are. Prof. Hope said that large faith ought to characterize a college man, and if he had faith he would so enter into life. The sermon measured way up and was a fitting tribute to the young men and all who heard it. It showed the character of the man at the head of the school. I had the pleasure of meeting a young poet, Henry R. Butler, Jr., the baby son of Dr. H. R. Butler, grand master of the Masons for Georgia, and general all-around man and physician.

COLLECTING FUNDS FOR CHOIR LOFT Members of St. Barnabas Catholic Church are collecting funds with which to build a choir gallery. The choir is now located near the altar. The improvements will cost over $500. The congregation is also trying to secure funds with which to pay off the mortgage on parish school, in the 1200 block of Argyle avenue. BIG INCREASE AT WALTERS BATHS There were 4,479 patrons at the Walters Public Baths, 1016-22 Argyle avenue, during May, and increase of 936 over the corresponding month last year. This represents the largest increase in any May of the existence of the Baths. There were 100 more users of the laundry alone. The Public Bath Commission is preparing to enlarge the laundry facilities, owing to the fact that so many women do their family washing there.

It prevents ill fortune, repels evil influences, etc. A scientific writer says, "Now if great scholars, kings, emperors scientists, generals and men and women who are successful in all walks of life believe that the Loadstones are the cause of their wonderful happiness, personal influence, popularity and success, what are you going to believe?

EUTAW STREET LEQ S. OSMAN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND PLEADS CAUSE OF HIS PEOPLE MAN OF BROAD LEARNING. Part Played by Well Known Educator In Contest For Funds Bequeathed to Afro-Americans For Education by the Late John C. Martin—Schooled With Distinguished Men. Atlanta, Ga.—Anything pertaining to the material uplift of the Afro-American folk is of vital interest to the millions of the race who live in the south. There are many well trained men in the race silently working for the masses without being heralded over the country. Among such characters is Dr. M. M. Ponton, who is a resident of this city. By his quiet and sane methods of doing things for the benefit of the race he has recently accomplished something that will make the entire race his debtor. Dr. Ponton had the pleasure of meeting the late John C. Martin, a man of wealth, some ten years ago and became a close friend of the millionaire. He interested Mr. Martin in the race and was instrumental in securing the large fund which was used to better educational conditions among Afro-American ministers in the south, through which hundreds, if not thousands, have greatly benefited, irrespective of denomination. Mr. Martin furnished all of the money for this specific fund, known as the John C. Martin educational fund, of which Dr. Ponton was held superintendent. It looked rather dark for the race, so far as the moneys it was receiving from this educational fund of Mr. Martin were concerned, when he died. At his death a protest was entered against his 1912 will, which restricted the money from going to a nonsettarian board for distribution. Being such a large sum of money, there was much concern felt on the part of those interested in the education of the Negro race. Dr. Poort became deeply interested in the will and made a strong fight for the race, and his success in [Pictorial portrait of a man in a suit and bow tie]. DR. M. M. PORTON. saving to the race a large sum of money for education is inspiring. The following letter was received from Mr. L.Amoreaux, a member of one of the leading law firms of the country. It is in part as follows: "We wish to congratulate you and your brethren of the colored race on the substantial benefits that will be derived by your people through the board of freedmen, located at Pittsburgh, which we understand has in charge the field work among your people. The board of freedmen is one of the three Freshbryterion boards which are residuary legates under the Martin will, of which Wing and I are executors. This is the will which has been admitted to probate and under which the board of freedmen will receive a very large legacy upon the distribution of the estate." Dr. Ponton recently returned from New York, where he was looking after the interest of the race in this respect. Although he is one of the leading factors in the great A. M. E. denomination, he is so broad in his efforts for the material uplift of the race that he is regarded as nonsectarian in his views when it comes to race development. He is a strong advocate of promoting educational institutions for our people. He founded the Turner Theological seminary of Morris Brown college, this city, and was dean of this department for seven years. He served a year at Morris Brown college, filling the chair of theology and philosophy, and resigned in 1007 to accept the presidency of Campbell college. Jackson, Miss. By his genius and manhood he gave Campbell college a place of high recognition among A. M. E. colleges in Mississippi. He received his A. B. degree from Lincoln university and later graduated from the theological department of Boston university. At this university the members of his year were Dr. J. W. E. Bowens, Bishops Thirkeld, Hughes, Bashford and Hamilton of the M. E. church, Governors Bates and Russell of Massachusetts. How R. N. Dett Is Uplifting the Race Through Music. Norfolk, Va.—Music is one of the certain channels through which aspiring colored people can and do reach the hearts of sympathetic Americans. It affords the ambiguous colored man, woman or child the effective medium of telling the thrilling story of the race's pain and hope, as well as the race's struggle toward the light of a better future. A successful concert here and there, a recognition of talent, a well balanced program, a new enthusiasm for the best music—these are signs of a new day for the Negro musician, proud of his race and prepared to make good in his calling. The Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Music club recently presented in recital R. Nathaniel Dett. head of the Hampton institute music department, whose work as a pianist and composer has already received the hearty endorsement and warm praise of competent musical critics. Mr. Dett has succeeded in making old and young alike join forces in rendering well and together the music of his race and that of the so called masters. What R. Nathaniel Dett has done and is doing to give his own people the benefit of good music and to demonstrate to white people the musical possibilities of the American Negro should be an encouragement to struggling colored men and women who wish to dignify the race's folk songs and to interpret the race's inner call to song. Mr. Dett played a number of his own compositions, including the "Magnolia" suite—(1) "Magnolias." (2) "The Deserted Cabin." (3) "My Ladylove." (4) "Mammy." and (5) "The Place Where the Rainbow Ends." "In the Bortons."—(1) Preble "Nichir." (2) "His Song." (3) "Honey." (4) Barcarole ("Morning" and (5) Julia (dancer) "Go to Sleep." "Carnival Waltz" and "Inspiration Waltzes." He also played Schrytz's "Poledena Reilhame." Grieg's Nocturne. Bublinstohn's Staccato Erude and Coleridge-Tayler's "Lot Us Cheer the Weary Traveler." Among other musical numbers were Foster's "Those in the End" and Hanlit's "Recuse! I Love You." by Miss Blanche Smith; Leveron's "Humoresque and De Boullet's Allegio," by William Kemp; My Spanish Rose." by Miss Annie Sullier. Miss Eliza Coppage read "Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii." The officers of the Coleridge-Taylor Music club are: Miss Ressie Burke, president; Clyde Carrer, vice president; Miss Eunice Galney, secretary; William Kemp, treasurer. GRADUATES SHOWER HONORS UPON REV. DR. G. M. P. KING King Gateway Dedicated With Impressive Ceremonies at Union University. By N. BARNETT DODSON. [Class of 181-Wayland.] An important feature in connection with the commencement season at the Virginia Union university was the dedication of King gateway, at the entrance to the university, on Wednesday, June 8, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The gate was erected in honor of the Rev. Dr. G. M. P. King, who was president of Wayland seminary, in Washington, until Wayland and the old Richmond Vino institute were consolidated to form the Virginia Union university, in Richmond, Va. Funds for the erection of the gate posts and tablists were contributed by graduates of the two former schools and the present university in appreciation of Dr. King's great and unselfish services to them as individuals and of his services to the race generally as a true friend and educator. While Dr. King is not now engaged in teaching at the university on account of his advanced age, he is nevertheless deeply interested in the work of the institution. Addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. E. Nash, D. D.; Rev. Dr. A. Binga, Jr. and the Rev. Dr. R. J. Langston. Responses to these dedicatory addresses were made by Dr. G. M. P. King and President George Rice Hover. D. D., who spoke for the university. A thrill of tearful joy filled every heart as Dr. King expressed his thanks for such a broad token of his efforts to advance the cause of human brotherhood through the medium of Christian education. Orchestra music for the occasion was led by Professor J. M. Sampson. The exercises were closed with the benediction after the following ode was sung to the tune of "America:" Long may her praises ring Through all the land! Sound out her words of praise; Monuments to her raise; Make her light brightly blaze On all around. May blessings on her rest. The richest and the best. Heaven's choice gifts. May wisdom be her guide. May truth with her abide. While years shall gently glide With V. U. U. Hampton Alumni Association to Meet.

Three hundred members are expected to be in attendance. Preparations for the business session and the reunion social functions are now being made. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER BY C. A.

Why it was some more good... And the boys? They just "set" and made even our pastor, Rev. Mack praise us. He wore an extra pretty smile all day. And Oh, that money! Over $73. Boys if you want to catch up to Macedonia you had better start now. Reporters, Cornelius Thompson, Russel Johnson, Theodore Martin. ST. BARNABAS Big times for boys always in the air, round here. A great drawing contest will decide who is to win a handsome silver watch. The special drill entertainments draw many people who like to see us go up the ladder of success. Our drill master, a gentleman of the U. S. Army is working hard and puts us thru so many military stunts that some times we have to take time to rest up and scratch our "nates." Reporter, Fred Wise BETHEL Concerning the work of the Bethel boys, they are making out very well. They have held two meetings already, and will hold another one Wednesday night. The boys are under the command of Captain Mendley. We are trying to have a successful brigade. We will have a gymnasium was mentioned several weeks ago. We intend to be up in front in this column with the other boys such as Waters, St. Barnabas, and others of like type who are in weekly. Leland R. Finney, reporter.

FIGHT FOR CHANCELLORSHIP Skirmishing for the position of grand chancellor of the Maryland Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias has begun and those most concerned are awaiting with interest its outcome at the annual session of the Grand Lodge at Salisbury next month. A meeting of local past chancellors was held at last Friday night. Those present pledged their interest and support in the new temple, praised the efforts of President John W. Rich and his colleagues on the Board of Directors of the Pythian Joint Stock Association and by a vote of 67 to 14 endorsed him for the position of grand chancellor. Five of those voting against him are said to be members of the Grand Lodge and partisans of Grand Chancellor George A. Watty. Mr. Watty's friends claim that his friends were studiously omitted in the sending out of invitations for the meeting. A PASTORAL RECEPTION Rev. Roy B Mohr, pastor of St. Mark M. P.
