Lee Warner, 17, white, was shot and killed tody by a mob of Negroes after it was alleged he assaulted a colored girl. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of "justifiable homicide." ACROSS THE BRINY DEEP Carl J. Murphy Writes Interestingly of His Trip Across the Ocean Aboard the German Steamer Bremen Aboard the North German Steamship Bremen bound for Bremen, Germany, touching at Plymouth and Boulogne. The lines have been cast off and two tiny tug-boats settle to the work of backing and turning the outward bound vessel. The pier is a mass of waving handkerchiefs, and the blare of the ship's band is not sufficient to drown the repeated good-byes. Ferry boats and smaller craft steam by at seemingly dangerously close quarters; on the right we pass the statue of liberty and then the light-ship; soon we are in the open water. Two hundred-forty hours aboard a transatlantic liner in these times when one can travel from New York to Europe in seven days may or may not in the end prove monotonous. To the uninitiated the first days are sufficiently full of many experiences. Deck-chairs and blankets are rented at one dollar each for the trip, for the deck appears far more pleasant than the stuffy state rooms. There is the usual feminine chatter about gowns or the newest figure of the tango, or the gutteral Americanized German of the men who appear to have made friends speedily and confine their conversation to points between social conditions in Australia, political affairs in Servia, pinochel and the name of the passing ship on the horizon. Nor are children lacking. Near the rail its a middle aged woman who is sorely tormented by her oppositely inclined twins. Even now one of them begs to be allowed to play dominoes in the smoking room; while the other as insistently asks if they both may go off and play tag. At the same time she repeatedly and ineffectually attempts to read "Her Husband's Enemy." Around the corner a deep bass voice the superiority of "das chone" Waterland and maintains over and over again without any audible refuting argument that the Rhine is more beautiful than the Hudson. From this the dinner bell releases us. You have procured by surrendering your passage ticket a small white card which admits you to the dining room and assigns to you a seat. This room is located in the stern of the vessel, and once there a steward directs you to your seat. Perhaps the first thought that comes is that dinner at table number one, seat number one of the main dining room of the North German Lloyd steamship "Bremen" is infinitely more pleasant than taking one's meal above in the smoking room of the North German Lloyd steamer "Koeniger Louise;" worth even delaying the voyage one month of a four months vacation; and the only difference between the two is that one sailed from Baltimore June 8, and the other from New York on July 4. The menu card is printed in German and in English. The attractively embossed cover on which a bust of Washington appears recalls the fact of the nation's birthday. Meanwhile soup and fish have passed and you begin to hesitate about roast beef or turkey, and look doubtfully at the pudding and ice cream, well knowing that the more you eat, the more trouble you are likely to have later. Dinner over perhaps we might look at the stateroom and see what sort of sleeping companions we are to have. To find the way alone is a (Continued on Page 4.) BISHOP LEVI COPPIN DR. MELISSA THOMPSON BISHOP COPPIN TO MARRY? Head of Second Episcopal District of A. M. E. Church Reported Engaged to Comely Doctor (Special to Afro-American.) Philadelphia, July 31.—According to a well-defined rumor Dr. Melissa Evelyn Thompson, a practicing physician of Baltimore, and Bishop Levi J. Coppin, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, will be married in the near future. It will be a quiet affair, it is said. When approached by a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, Bishop Coppin would not affirm or deny the soft impeachment. Dr. Thompson was equally evasive. It has been noticed for some months that the prelate has been paying ardent attention to the doctor, who is now staying here with her sister. Dr. Thompson is a native of Columbia, S. C. She was educated at Allen University, Columbia, S. C., and studied medicine at the Woman's Medical College, this city. She also did hospital work in Massachusetts. Dr. Thompson located in Baltimore several years ago, and succeeded in building up a fine practice. She has also served with credit as resident physician of Provident Hospital, Baltimore. Bishop Coppin is a widower. His wife was Mrs. Fanny Jackson, for many years principal of the old Institute for Colored Youth. She died several years ago. LIBERIAN INDEPENDANCE DAY DULY OBSETVED New York, July 31.—Advices received here this week state that the Liberian Independence Day was observed at Monrovia and at the Liberian legation, London, Monday. In Monrovia, President Roberts and other prominent personages delivered addresses. Among the speakers at the London celebration were Secretary of State C. D. B. King, Postmaster General Mort, Associate Justice T. McCants Stewart and other prominent personages. The speakers sounded a hopeful note for the little West African republic and a patriotic spirit was everywhere noticeable. While the celebration was going on in London and Monrovia, the Liberian secretary of the Treasury, Hon. John Lewis Morris, was in New York city conferring with Kuhn, Loeb Company regarding disputing points in the Liberian loan f. 1911. DR. MELISSA THOMPSON CALANTHIANS HOLD SESSION Mrs. Rosa Richardson, of Baltimore, Elected Grand Worthy Councillor for the Sixth Salisbury, Md., July 29.- The Grand Court of Calanthe, the female auxiliary of the Maryland Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, held a successful annual session at St. James A. M. E. Church Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. The opening public session was held in conjunction with the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and was very impressive. Reports submitted by various officers showed that the Calanthians were in a prosperous condition, and that the membership showed a substantial increase. The grand worthy councillor, Mrs. Rosa J Richardson, of Baltimore, delivered an inspiring address detailing her activities for the Order during the year. The supreme representative, Mrs. Annie Johnson, made a fine report of her work. Mrs. Eliza J. Medley was reelected grand worthy register of deeds for the sixth year. Mrs. Richardson was also favored with a reelection on the sixth term. The next session will be held at Hagerstown, Md. The following officers were elected. Mrs. Rosa Richardson, grand worthy councilor; Mrs. Lilly G. Jones, grand worthy inspector; Mrs. Catherine Burton, G. I; Mrs. Lula Richardson, G. W. O.; Miss Hattie Kane, G. W. D.; Mrs. Eliza J. Medley, G. W. R. D.; Mrs. Gertrude Henderson, G. W. S. D.; Mrs. Pienetta Breut, G. W. J. D.; Dr. Edward Wheatley, G. M. E.; Mrs. Mary Griffin, Salisbury, Md., G. W. C.; Mrs. Rebecca Parker, Annapolis, Md., G. W. A. C.; Mrs. Nettie Robinson, G. W. N.; Mrs. Mary Gillis, G. W. H.; Mrs. Marietta Stewart, G. W. L. BANQUET TO SECRETARY MORRIS New York, July 31.—Prominent citizens will be the hosts at a banquet that will be tendered Secretary Morris at St. Marks Church, next Thursday night. Dr. Ernest Loon, the Liberian consul general; Rev. W. H. Brooks, Collector Charles W. Anderson, Fred R. Moore and Rev. R. C. Ransom are expected to be on the list of speakers. MRS. JOHNSON IMPROVING Rochester, N. Y., July 31. Mrs. Georgia Johnson who was recently operated upon at the Mayo Sanitarium, is reported as improving. She is the wife of Henry Lincoln Johnson, former Recorder of Deeds at Washington. DRAWING THE LINES SHARPLY Contending Forces Among Odd Fellows Preparing For Fierce Fight at Meeting of Biennial Movable Committee Boston, Mass., July 31.—While the residents of this city expect the coming session of the Biennial Movable Committee of Odd Fellows to be a notable one in that thousands of visitors may be expected, they may, according to advices being received here, expect a very lively session. The order will be divided into two hostile camps, with Henry Lincoln Johnson making the fight for grand master on one side and either Edward H. Morris or some one favored by him making the fight on the other. The lines are becoming sharply drawn an attack and counter-attack may be expected from now on. This is indicated with discussion on the proposition to abolish the Supreme Court of the Order, as well at the proposal to remove the time limit on the term of the grand master are likely to precipitate the biggest fight in the history of the order. The fight will bring in the fact that Grand Master Morris was one of the active workers for the passage of the law four years ago His brother William R. Morris, of Minneapolis, is an associate justice, while Benjamin J. Davis, who will lead the Johnson forces, in chief justice. William L. Houston is the other member. In a letter to George W. Hall, of Washington, Henry Lincoln Johnson asserts that "Morris was the author and finisher of the Odd Fellows' Supreme Court." After asserting that Morris wanted to preside when the law was on its passage, Mr. Johnson asserts that "the Supreme Court is exclusively the child of the grand master. He conceived it; he was wet nurse and mammy; he was physician and father; all in sweet combination met." He also asserts that Mr. Morris intended to retire as grand master at Atlanta two years ago and was then to become chief justice of the court. Mr. Johnson declares that he was in no way responsible for the creation of the court and that it is manifestly unfair to so charge him. WOMENS' FEDERATION HOLDS MEETING Washington, July 31.—The District of Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs held its annual session at St. Luke Hall. Besides hearing reports from the various phases of upift work that the clubs are engaged in, the work of Mrs. I. N. Ross now of Baltimore, was extolled. As an appreciation of her services she was elected honorary president. Mrs. Julia Maron was elected a delegate to the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which meets next week at Wilberforce, O., but declined on the ground that her services were more needed at home. The following officers were elected: Mrs. I. N. Ross, honorary president; Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president; Mrs. Susie Fountain, first vice president; Mrs. Mary E. Sewall, second vice president; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, secretary; Mrs. Lizzie Snellson Lee, assistant secretary; Mrs. C. H. Stepteau, treasurer; Mrs. Fannie Waugh Jones, chaplain Mrs. Georgia Liverpool Miller, lecturer, and Mrs. Marie Montgomery, organizer. Imposing Ceremonies at Unveiling of Monument to the Late Claremont, Va.. July 30.—A monument to the late John J. Smallwood, founder and president of the Temperance Institute, was unveiled with imposing ceremonies Sunday afternoon. The monument stands in front of Lincoln Hall, and is a handsome tribute to the worth of the deceased educator. The exercises were largely attended, many distinguished personages coming from a distance. A fitting eulogy of the work of Dr. Smallwood as an educator and benefactor of the race was delivered by Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Greensboro, N. C. He told of the courage displayed by the deceased when a mob gathered to lynch him for entertaining at the first commencement of the school some of the white men who had attended school with him in the North. Apprised of the coming of the mob, Dr. Smallwood secured guns and ammunition, and when the mob approached the school said in ringing tones: "Just one word, gentlemen, before you shoot: Remember that when you shoot and send this black man's soul to heaven, my colored friends here will send many white men's soul to hell." Smallwood did not go to heaven then, and neither did any white men risk the chance of going to the other place. The monument is a pyramid in shape, with a shaft of granite rising 20 feet in the air and firmly set of a double pedestal of like material, appropriately inscribed: LOW RATES TO MUSKOGEE Washington, July 28.—The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has notified Ralph W. Tyler, National organizer for the National Negro Business League, that it will make a rate of $46.10 from Washington to Muskogee, Okla., and return for the National Negro Business League meeting, tickets good going August 16th, 17th and 18th and good returning to reach starting point not later than August 31st. The route will be via way of St. Louis, and Kansas City. If sufficient go to justify the putting on of a Pullman Sleeper, the B. & O. will start a sleeper from Washington to run through to Muskogee, without change, exclusive for the party. Those in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, and points in Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland who desire to make this a trip out to that state of wonderful opportunities, and be present at the meeting of the National Negro Business League and National Negro Press Association, should communicate with Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age at New York, N. Y., or to Ralph W. Tyler at 928 T street, N. W. Washington, D. C. Indications are that this meeting will be the largest attended and most interesting of any yet held. DR. WASHINGTON PASSES THRU CITY Dr. Booker T. Washington passed through the city Thursday night. He was on his way South from New York city, and was accompanied by Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general, and John Lewis Morris, secretary of the Treasury for Liberia. Secretary Morris is now at Tuskegee Institute, as the guest of Dr. Washington. LIFE STRUGGLES — OF AN EX-SLAVE Clvil War Soones Reval by Presley Dunwood. AT. TRIAL OF JON BROWN.

It is to be hoped however, that if it does settle down for good and hard, when it does clear, Kings and Czars will be done with for good and all. Another Negro shot to death and no one held responsible for it. It is getting entirely too frequent of late. We are wondering what the State's Attorney's office is for? We are wondering what would have happened had conditions been reversed? Would the States Attorney's office been on the job. Well rather. Mayor Preston made a fine swing around the circle, extensively in the interest of the Banner Celebration. Wonder did he have anything else in view? There is a Governor to be elected soon, and shortly after that another United States Senator. Looks like the Mayor has his weather eye open for the future. Looks like Ireland is in a fair way to have "Home Rule" or something else pretty soon. But an Irishman always did like to hit a head, and he is not always particular whose head it is so long as it is a head. And so the Weather Man decided to let up a little on the heat business. It all happened in the very nick of time. Hope we will get another bit of it next week. We have an ax to grind. THE CENTENNIAL OF NEGRO PATRIOTISM Just one hundred years ago, this very year, old General Jackson, commanding at the Battle of New Orleans, addressed his colored soldiers who had covered themselves with glory, in that critical engagement, in the following words: "Soldiers, From the shores of Mobile I collected you to arms, I invited you to share in the perils and to divide the glory of your white countrymen. I expected much from you; for I was not uninformed of those qualities which must render you so formidable to an invading foe. I knew that you could endure hunger and thirst, and all the hardships of war. I knew that you loved the land of our nativity, and that, like our nurses, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you surpass my hopes. I have found in you, united to these qualities, that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deed. Soldiers, The President of the United States shall be informed of your conduct on the present occasion; and the voice of the Representatives of the American nation shall applaud your valor." Almost fifty years after the utterance of the above words of praise by General Jackson similar expressions issue from the battle field of the Civil War with respect to the superior qualities of the Negro Soldier. In May 1863, writing from Hilton Head S. C., to the Governor of Massachusetts among other things Gen. David Hunter said: "They have never disgraced their uniform by pillage or cruelty but have so conducted themselves upon the whole that even our enemies though more anxious to find fault with these than with any other portion of our troops have not yet been able to allege against them a single violation of any of the rules of civilized warfare. These regiments are hardy, generous, temperate, patient, strictly obedient, possessing great natural aptitude for arms, and deeply imbued with that religious sentiment which made the soldiers of Cromwell invincible." Col Higgenson, commanding the First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers writing during the same year, adds his testimony: He said: "Nobody knows anything about these men who have not seen them in battle. I find that I myself knew nothing. There is a fiery energy about them beyond anything which I have ever read, unless it be the French Zouaves. No officer in this regiment now doubts that the key to the successful prosecution of this war lies in the unlimited employment of black troops. Their superiority lies simply in the fact that they know the country, which white troops do not; and, moreover, that they have peculiarities of temperament, position and motive which belong to them alone. Instead of leaving their homes and families to fight, they are fighting for their homes and families; and they show the resolution and sagacity which a personal purpose gives. It would have been madness to attempt with the bravest white troops what I have successfully accomplished with black ones. Everything, even to the piloting of the vessel, and the selection of the proper points for cannonading was done by my own soldiers; indeed, the real conductor of the whole expedition at the St. Mary's was Corporal Robert Sutton of Company G, formerly a slave upon the St. Mary's River; a man of extraordinary qualities, who needs nothing but a knowledge of the alphabet to entitle him to the most signal promotion. In every instance where I followed his advice the predicted result followed; and I never departed from it, however slightly, without having reason for subsequent regret." And, yet, with all this strong testimony, from without, of faith in us, how slowly do we take ourselves seriously, and believe in ourselves. SERVANTS "Some people, and at all times, will have to be servants; and I know no reason why colored people should not be, as well as others. In the United States I am aware there is a disposition to avoid servant life. Free-born white Americans think it beneath them to serve in the houses of the rich. And the same feeling is gradually spreading among our people. But believe me it is an ignorant and contemptible feeling. For observe, we all, whether rich or poor, have to serve. First of all, our parents are our servants, before we are born; immediately at our birth; many weary weeks and months and years, after we enter upon life. Then elder brothers and sisters are our servants. Then schoolmasters. Then hired persons. Then policemen. Then ministers and judges and governors and magistrates. See how all through life men are the servants of others. "Hence I say the vocation of a a servant is one which is established by the Almighty; which pervades life; and is therefore a divine institution. But notice again that the vocation of domestic servant has its generous and gracious advantages. It has its disadvantages I know; for it serves to soften; it produces luxurious tastes; it begets a liking for things rich and expensive; it indisposes for hard and severe toil; it is adapted to make people fastidious. But my sober conviction is that if people have well regulated minds, the advantages of servant life exceed the disadvantages. For, first, it trains people to regular, systematic and orderly modes of living. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER In this consists the superiority of the rich that they must have order and system. This gives a training to those who serve them; and which they are likely to carry into their own homes, when they commence life. DEATHS AND FUNERAL MRS. FRANCES HANDY The funeral of Mrs. Fr Handy, who died at her residence. "Service cultivates neatness. This is another demand of the rich; and it aids domestics in renouncing untidiness and slovenliness. It teaches people economy; for the wealthy and alluvient are a deal more economical than the poor; and this is a great lesson to learn. "It teaches people obedience and humility. There can be no true servant life without these two grand qualities. No man, no matter who he be, can do the work of life well, unless he learns to obey and be humble. I say no man, and I mean the Chief Magistrate of the nation, as well as the humbleest servant boy. But observe I am not inculcating servility. A man who is a servant is bound to remember that he is a man, just as much as his master; and he ought not to allow that master to trench upon his manhood. "It gives us the opportunity of securing the purest English, and learning the very best manners. More than one foreign tourist in this country has remarked that the colored people of America were among the most polite people he met with. Many have spoken of the correct English we speak. Contact with affluent classes give us these advantages both of manners and speech."—selected. Such good and strong words from one of the blackest and best educated men this country has ever seen, ought, to hearten that noble and grand army of men and women among us who shed honor and lustre upon the race with which they are indistinct. The same learned author says: "Young men don't despise the humble positions of your parents. All the crafts of men are honorable. Dignify the toil of your family by your fine personal qualities. Raise their occupations, by genius and talent to honor and competency. All work is honorable. Only throw brains, skill, energy and economy into your work; and it will lead you on to success, to comfort, and perchance to wealth." COURTS OF CALANTHE HOLDS ANNUAL SESSION The annual session of the Maryland and Delaware Grand Court of Calanthe, auxiliary to the Knights of Pythias, was held at Good Hope Hall Thursday of last week. Mrs. Fannie Dashiellids, the grand worthy councilor, presided. During the session addresses were delivered by Mrs. Jennie Ross, supreme worthy councilor, who told of her recent visit to the session of the New England Grand Calanthe; Mrs. Mary W. Jackson, of Providence, R. I., and Solomon Tripp. Reports submitted showed an increase in membership. The delegates voted to present the retiring grand worthy councilor a jewel as a recognition of faithful services rendered. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Nettie Kain, G. W. C.; Mrs. Mary Cross, G. W. A. C.; Mrs. Mary Trusty, G. W. O.; Mrs Eliza Howe, G. W. E.; Mrs. Katie Waters, G. W. H.; Andrew Boone, Ridgely, Md., G. W. P. Solomon Tripp, grand organizer; Mrs. Estella Young, grand worthy register of deeds, and Mrs. Lillian Gibbs, grand worthy receiver of accounts. A. M. E. ZION CHURCH DISPOSES OF PROPERTY The Pennsylvania Avenue A. M E. Zion Church has sold its property on Pennsylvania avenue, above Hoffman street for about $22,000. The Lutheran Church at Druid Hill avenue and McMechen street has been purchased as a new home. The new structure cost $37,000. The church will probably remain in its old location for several months. The old property was purchased by a local real estate concern, and will be used either for a commercial or theatrical venture. Wilfiam-H. Daly, the theatrical promoter, was after the property several months ago, but cut off negotiations when a more desirable property was secured in the block below. As the Pennsylvania avenue congregation owes, the Hopkins Place Savings Bank and the widow of the Rev. John F. Moreland considerable amounts on mortgage, it is likely that the $22,000 will be used largely to satisfy these claims. DEATHS AND FUNERALS MBS. FRANCES HANDY The funeral of Mrs. Frances Handy, who died at her residence, 535 Orchard street, following a long illness, was held at her late home Sunday, Rev. L. S. Flagg officiating. Interment was in Laurel Cemetery. The deceased was the wife of Rev. Columbus Handy, pastor of the Mt. Winans A. M. E. Circuit. JAMES A. GARNER. JR. The funeral of James A. Garner, Jr., who died at the home of his parents, 607 George street, Tuesday of last week after a lingering illness, was held at his late Thursday of last week. Rev. Alfred Young officiated.

Conference, died at his home, 631 George street, from cancer of the stomach Tuesday. His wife, son and a grandchild survive. Funeral services were held at Metropolitan M. E.

MARTHA A. MONROE Mrs. Martha A. Monroe beloved mother of Mrs. Katherine K. Wallace and Mrs. Susie Barrett, departed this life at her late residence, 808 Tyson street, on July 15, 1914. The funeral service was held at her old home in Chestertown, Md., from the Emanuel Church Sunday, July 19th. She leaves two daughters, three brothers one sister, and a number of nieces and nephews to mourn their loss. We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness during her illness and the beautiful floral designs. BAPTIST CHURCH HOLDS ANNIVERSARY Fairfield Md., July 28 —The 7th Anniversary of First Baptist Church was held Sunday, July 26. We had a grand time. Receipts $58.00.

Widgeon is pastor of the church. BISHOP-MAKES ANOTHER APPOINTMENT Bishop L. J. Coppin has appointed R. A. Tucker, of 2013 Vermont avenue, Washington, as superintendent of the Allen Christian Endeavor League work of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference. BATHHOUSE WELL PATRONIZED The portable public bathhouse at Warner and Hamburg streets is being largely patronized. Women and girls have the right of way on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the men and boys have the other days of the week. Norman Bishop is in charge on the days that men- and boys use the baths. CAMPED AT BROWN'S GROVE Away from the maddening crowd of the city, a number of the employees of the Afro-American Ledger spent Saturday and Sunday camping at Brown's Grove. The first day was spent in fishing, and on Sunday morning, Lewis Jordan cooked the breakfast and made the flapjacks. Daniel Murphy acted as generalissimo, Arnett Murphy kept tab on the actions of the party, George Lowers asked the blessing while the corn pone was hot and Harry Wade made a record for himself as an cater of rare qualities. To cap the climax, Walter Giles took the pictures of the party. It was a tired but happy party that returned to the city Sunday night, and each member made a pledge to go again this Saturday. Miss Edina Johnson and the wives of several of those in the party came down Sunday to see that the boys kept the Sabbath holy. SC The little Champion 100 yard Sprinter, who will be seen in action in this city in September, at the meeting held under the auspices of the N. A. A. U. SPORTS & ATHLETICS By SPORTSMAN Mr. Wm. H. J. Beckett, athletic director of the Y. M. C. A. in Washington called at the office of the Afro-American Ledger this week and in an interview with the sporting editor gave a very interesting and optimistic prospects of athletic conditions among the members of that association. He says that while he has met with considerable opposition in bringing athletics up to its present standing yet he feels that his labors are about to bear fruit and that this following season will see the teams of the Y. M. C. A. in the front ranks of sporting organizations. The baseball team has thus far won three out of the four big match games played the season and only last Saturday downed the strong Baltimore Giants twice at Central League Park. When told of the present wretched facilities for athletic development in this city and the disgraceful lack of sporting enthusiasm among those of whom most would be expected, he remarked that the building of a Y. M. C. A. here would go a great way toward the elevation of these conditions provided however a good athletic director could be procured. But as things stood it was practically a ripe harvest with little or no hands to reap it. The sporting editor hied himself out to Druid Hill Park a few weeks ago and gave the local tennis cracks the "once over." The sight which greeted his eyes was enough to warm the heart of anyone who loves the game and judging from the interest displayed Baltimore can look for some good results from the efforts of those "fiends." The Drs. and Profs. were on hand strong and gave a fair sample of this line of sport As far as we were able to learn Ralph Cook and Winfort Braxton are as usual, in a class by themselves, with candidates for the class narrowed down to Doc Cardozo and Prof. Reckling. Doc McCard is still playing his hard and consistent game while Prof. McDaniels still tries to win on service alone. The others are just good material to practice with. A tournament is looked for next month, or rather this month. The Baltimore Giants went down to defeat twice before the strong Y. M. C. A. team of Washington on the latters' grounds at Central League Park last Saturday. Grant pitched excellent ball for the association nine in the first game and was given good support. Thomas easily held the local huddown in the second session aided by the supert catching of Jones. The Belmont A. C. of this city was defeated in a double header last Thursday by the Catonsville Giants. Dorsey, the crack hurler of the Catonsville Nine held the Belmonts to a few scattered hits. According to late reports Howard Drew, the marvelous little sprinter, has refused an offer to run in handicap matches in England and thereby enter professional ranks. His reason for refusing it is said, was that he desired to win an Olympis Championship before turning professional. Drew will run here at the championship meet of the N. A. A. U. in September and thus give Baltimoreans a chance to view the wonderful performance of this little colored champion. Joe Jeanette, the Hoboker heavyweight, is scheduled to hook up with Black Bill for ten rounds before the Irving A. C. of Brooklyn, N. Y. Frank Jenkins the famous distance runner of the Smart Set A. C. of New York, will participate in the championship contests of the A. A. U. to be held in this city in September. Jenkins will very likely make the best showing in the mile races. The Lincoln Giants, world's colored champions and the Royal Giants will play a double header tomorrow, Sunday on the Olympic Field, N. Y. The Royals are probably the bitterest rivals the Lincoln Giants have to contend with. Battling Johnson, and Joe Jeanette are scheduled to have another set-to next Wednesday for the pace of ten rounds. Johnson is the favorite in the match as on two previous occasions he decisely defeated Jeanette, and since that time the big fellow has improved wonderfully. He will have no cinch with Jeanette however, as the Hoboken heavy is no coward but on the contrary has the courage of a police and the heart of a lion. How the "Schools In the Background" Are Contributing Toward the Race's Progress—Institutions Made Useful and Attractive Under Most Discouraging Conditions. Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the Jeanes board, often refers to the one room Negro rural schools in the southern states as "schools in the background." His description is as accurate as it is vivid. From the little rural schools come some of the best "raw material" to be trained at Hampton, Tuskegee and other industrial schools for useful and safe race leadership. To the rural districts of the south the graduates of Hampton and Tuskegee return as progressive teachers, mechanics and farmers for lives of willing sacrifice. Recently a party of forty-eight thoughtful northern "pilgrims" to Hampton visited as part of the anniversary program some of the rural Negro schools lying near the edge of Hampton's home county and saw—widely with thrills of surprise and delight—what colored women, trained and inspired by Hampton, have been doing to make the one room, overcrowded Negro schools useful and attractive, even under most discouraging conditions—the inertia and indifference of the parents, the lack of public school money and the irregular attendance of pupils, which is due to bad roads. ACROSS THE BRINY DEEP Continued from page 1 oppeless task, so one of the cabin-boys leads the way and replies to questions asked in English or in German as you ask them. Ours is an outside stateroom on the middle deck, and ours is the only baggage in this room that is designed to accommodate three persons. The fewer the more comfortable say we, and before unpacking the things we are to need on the journey, take stock of the 7x7x8 state room. On one side are two berths one above the other, reaching to the top of the room and numbered A and B. On the opposite side of the room is a species of couch for the third person in crowded times. Facing the door is the washstand, we have yet to locate bath and smoking rooms, so again distrusting our own abilities we call the steward who cheerfully enlightens us and departs with a bow. Everyone must sign a bath list stating the time he desires to bathe. We find that we are ahead of the others, may take our bath at 7.20, a much coveted hour, and be ready for breakfast at 8.00. With these affairs settled, we enjoy our deck chair with more complaisance. The sun has lost itself in a bank of mist before it touched the water. The horizon loses its redness gradually, and finally only the slightest tinge indicates what has been sunset. The evening star Venus, now in that part of its orbit nearest the earth, gleams brighter and brighter and is in direct line with the wake of the ship which marks a channel even to the horizon. The black smoke from the ship's funnels trails off into thin brown streamers. Overhead to the right the full moon shines down and projects a golden trail across the waves. The dipper is dimly visible. Rapidly flying swallowlike birds circle after the ship—on they too are swallowed up in darkness and it is night.

SPECIAL NOTICE This is to certify that the Rev. John Offer Custis, forty years a member, and over twenty-four years in the ministry—Itinerant—of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Virginia and Baltimore Annual Conference, (he) was on Monday, May 4, 1914, duly, yes, duly, appointed by the Right Rev. Levi J. Coppin, D. D., Ph. D., the presiding bishop, to the high office of Superintendent Allen Christian Endeavor League and Agent for Kittrell College, N. C., of the Baltimore Annual Conference A. M. E. Church, which includes the State of Maryland and District of Columbia. See the Baltimore Annual Conference Record, 1914. DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By DR. T. J. ALLEN Food Specialist FOOD VALUE OF EGGS. Eggs contain about 29 per cent of protein, about the same as in cheese, average meat and fish and a little more than in peas and beans and nuts. For a man doing hard labor beans or chuck steak would be preferable to eggs as a source of protein from the point of both physiological and household economy, although none of these is necessary, since corn or whole wheat bread contains sufficient protein. The egg is easily digested and combines fairly well with toast, which supplies the carbohydrate and bulk, but with meat, beans and most other foods the egg is incompatible and its retention in the stomach long beyond the period of its digestion often leads to serious results. The yolk contains a large percentage of fat, easily assimilated, with all the mineral elements. The diet of Cornaro, whose life was prolonged from 45, when physicians said he must die, to 102, was almost exclusively grape juice and uncooked eggs, compatible and easily digested. The popular notion about eggs is that they are good because they are nutritious, but whether they are good or bad depends largely on what other foods are taken with them (Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B.

HOW TO SUCCEED Joly 25, 1914 I'm a young man twenty-four years old I have traveled a little, and in my traveling I have gained much experience Think of a young man who wants to live an honest and respectable life and is very ambitious, wants to save his money and better his position. But he will go to various places of enjoyment. Every month he wants a new suit of clothes, He is not ‘a rich young mao, his weekly wage is small. How can he sue- ceed if he-has no one to assist him? 1 think he ought to leave pleasur- ing aside to a certain extent until he builds himself up inlife. If he has to look-at the recent style and want to adopt somebody’s princi- ple, I do believe he will be doing the wrong thing, Every man ought to choose his own way in life. Here is another point, that excessive drinking and gambling. He has got to make himself con- yeniently blind toward many things in the line of vanity. 1am fully. aware of the fact and the fact re- mained that a man does not derive anything from vanity. I should say that if majority of the young men would only. save one-third of their weekly wage they would be doing fine, but, many of us have taken it this way. { am earning ten dollars -per~week. I am not guing to save anything this week, but 1 will save something next week, That is not the right idea, we should try to embrace an oppor- tunity at the present tim? for we know ‘not what the future will bring, on the other hand we always want a big. amount tu start a bank account with, Now friends, tributaries form rivers so if aman. saves cents he will have aollars.

Ey M.-Afro-American Office: PROMINENT AMONG WORLD'S ARTISTS MASTER OF HIS PROFESSION Great Interest Shown In Painting by Former Pittsburgh Boy, Whose Recent Picture, "Jesus at the House of Lazarus," Created Big Sensation In World's Art Metropolis. Of the American artists who are seeking fame at the world's art metropolis, Paris, it has remained for an American Negro to carry off the prize, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He is a son of a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church. His name is Henry O. Tanner. His salon picture, over which the European critics are enthusiastic, is called "Jesus at the House of Lazarus." The old Biblical saw that a prophet is not without honor but in his own country has been well borne out in the case of Henry O. Tanner. To mention his name in any assemblage of American connoisseurs is to receive a frank stare of ignorance. To mention his name in an assemblage of European artists is to encounter at once frank acknowledgment that you are speaking of a present day master. He was born in 1859. For more than a quarter of a century he has been painting industriously, and many of his best canvases are hung in his museums both here and abroad, none of the recent books on American artists more than mention him, work of this kind refers to his dentally in these words: "A pleaser H. O. Tanner, painted with oriental surroundings, but with religious feeling." "His work is curious tech. y. We stand before it knowledge: id and sure of itself. The try strokes, which, when seen from near by, resemble a veneer of manly, evidently come from a flowy and unctuous brush. Through a check paint there plays a soft light, which models the outlines in chlorozoo." Another critic said of film: "Mr. Tanner is a dreamer and a worker. He works diligently and with a good will, but he produces only two or three canvases a year. 'Because I paint laboriously,' he said with a charming modesty. 'I should rather say 'scrupulously.' He reflects long upon a subject until he is permeated with the spirit of it. He searches out its infinite poetry, at the same time carefully studying its psychological aspect, and even after the general effect has been established he returns to it again and again, tirelessly seeking to improve upon it. I find in his talent something of the genius 'enumbrd.'" In striking contrast, the judgment of this critic who is liken Tanner only to the great E. Brandst are the things written abe the artist by American critics. Unable to gainay that his "Jesus at the House of Lazarus" is by far the premier among all the exhibitions of American artists at the Paris salon this year one of he can find little more to say of the ture than that the Mary in the picture only expresses its stability in her and that Marthe seems to be bring in a dish of ice cream. This critic tends to find many other "anachroisms." He thibt that the interior Lazarus' house suggests the nineteenth century more than it does the first that the Lazarus is a portrait of the artist himself and that the other figures in the picture are portraits of modern persons. The story of Tanner's life is well in itself interesting. He was born in Pittsburgh, his father being a leading Negro ecclesiastic. One afternoon he was walking with the bishop in a Philadelphia park when he saw an artist at work painting a hillside. He was then five years old. That night he took a piece of awning from the back of a kitchen door for a canvas and the back of an old geography, with a hole jabbed through it for his thumb, as a palette. He tried to mix some colors on the geography back with but indifferent success. Later he made the acquaintance of O. H. Shirer, a prominent Philadelphia artist through whose friendship and influence he was admitted to the Philadelphia School of Fine Arts. Finally, in 1891, after many vicissitudes and much living on starvation rations, he had accumulated enough money to take him to Europe. He started for Paris Jan. 4, 1891. He lived very frugally in the French capital, studying at the Academie Julian. He struggled along unnoticed until a sketch, very much to his own surprise, won him a prize in an annual competition. For many years he was confronted by the most disheartening obstacles. He lived on even less than had marked the "starvation time" in the United States. He got typhoid fever and almost died. After a brief visit to Philadelphia he returned to Paris. Then he painted his first great picture, "Daniel In the Lions Den." His next great picture was "The Resurrection of Lazarus." His first to be purchased for the Luxembourg collection. This made him. He decided then upon a visit to the Holy Land to study the original settings of Bible themes. CLERKS' ALLIANCE. Annual Meeting to Be Held in Louis Aug. 6. s.-Hon. Henry L. Mims national president of the ance of Railway Postal ms sent official notices to locals of the alliance caltention to the forthcoming b- Distance to be held at St. Of it years the white mall clerks' organi ons have been excluding the colore clerks, and it has been apparent t' the colored clerks must be A. B. come more closely allied. Insurance at cost in the white organizations being denied the colored clerks, this created one of the most urgent reasons for the r. But the problem of organization a national character doing bushroughout the Union was a big Henry L. Mins after correspondence with a representative group of clerks evolved a plan which met with immediate approval. Accordingly last October at Chattanooga, Tenn., the clerks from various sections met and organized the alliance for the "betterment of the service," the "promotion of social intercourse" and for "insurance at cost of operation." Upon organization it was found absolutely necessary that some capable person be found to look after the details of the organization and the inauguration of the insurance provisions. Happily, almost as an especial dispensation of Providence, Hon. R. L. Bailey of Indianapolis was prevailed upon to accept the secretaryship of the new organization. Mr. Bailey is one of the most promising younger attorneys in his section of the country and was formerly a postal clerk. In fact, while he devotes all of his time to his practice he is still carried on the rolls of the postoffice department as a clerk, because he is the principal witness in some cases the government is prosecuting, and, though unusual, he has been granted an indefinite leave of absence. Mr. Bailey is an authority on insurance matters. He attended to all the legal preliminaries in chartering the National alliance and has written the charters for several of the state organizations. The alliance today is a healthy youngster with every evidence of a long life. The rank and file of its membership declare that the officers are the most sacrificing and efficient set that ever piloted a similar movement through the treacherous waters of new organization.

Lesson V.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 2, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark xi, 1-11. Memory Verses, 7-9—Golden Text, Zech. ix, 9—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. It is sometimes difficult to get the correct sequence of events in the life of our Lord, but it does seem from John xii, 1, 2, that the supper and anointing at Bethany took place six days before the passover and just before the so called triumphal entry of the lesson today, and yet the lesson on the anointing is not assigned us till Oct. 4. Well, the order of events does not always matter much if we see Himself more clearly and receive the message for our own hearts. The great event of this lesson is recorded in each of the four gospels and was a literal fulfillment of the prediction in Zechariah (our Golden Text), quoted in Matt. xxl. 4, 5; John xii. 15. Fulfilled prophecy is the key to that which is as yet unfulfilled, so we should confidently expect as literal a fulfillment of other predictions of Zechariah, such as those in Zech. 10-12; vl. 12; vl. 13; vll. 22; xll. 9. 10. After the night at Bethany, when Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead, was one of them that sat at the table with Him (John xii, 1, 2). He and His disciples proceeded toward Jerusalem. On the way He sent two of the disciples to find an ass and colt tied in a village near by, saying that they should loose them and bring them to Him, and if any one asked why they were to say, "The Lord hath need of them" (verses 2, 3; Matt. xxI, 2, 3). The colt was one whereon yet never man sat, reminding us that He was Mary's firstborn and also that Joseph's new tomb had never been used till it received His body. The disciples are not mentioned by name, but as Peter and John were a little later sent to prepare the passover (Luke xxI, 8) they may have been the two sent on this occasion also. Whoever they were, they found even as He had said unto them, both in connection with the colt and the man bearing the pitcher of water (Luke xix, 32; xxI, 10-13). So it always has been and will be, and whether in this life or the life to come. Having brought the colt, they put their garments on him, and Jesus sat thereon. Many spread their garments in the road also, and others cut down branches off the trees and strewed them in the war, and the multitude as He came to the descent of Olvet began to rejoice and to praise God with a loud voice, saying: "Hosanna! Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord! Blessed be the kingdom of our father David!" and other words. Compare verses 7 to 10 and Luke xix, 35-38. The Pharisees found fault, as usual, and wanted the noise stopped, but our Lord said, "I tell you that if these should hold their peace the stones would immediately cry out" (Luke xix, 39, 40). This lesson is called "The Triumphal Entry," and, while thus far there is some show of triumph, it was for our Lord a sad day—one of the three occasions on which we read that our Lord wept, the other two being at the grave of Lazarus and in Getthesmane (John x1, 35; Heb. v. 7). The record of this weeping is found in Luke xlix, 41-41, and part of it is as follows: "He beheld the city and wept over it, saying: If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are bid from thine eyes * * * because thou knewst not the time of thy visitation." Compare His other pitiful imment over the city in Matt. xxiii, 37-39. He saw the judgments which would come upon the city and nation, even as He sees the wrath which will fall upon the unbelieving. The city was moved as He entered it and the question asked, "Who is this?" (Matt. xxl. 10, 11), reminding us of the same question concerning Him in Jer. xxx. 21; Isa. xxii. 1, the one referring to His first coming as our dayman, surety, redeemer, and the other to His coming in judgment. The reply of the multitude on this occasion, "This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee" (Matt. xxl. 11), reminds us of His own reply to the question of Saul of Tarsus, "I am Jesus of Nazareth whom thou persecutest" (Acts xxii. 8). Having entered the city, He went to the temple, healed some blind and lame people, quoted part of the Eighth Psalm to the faultfinding chief priests who would have Him stop the children from crying "Hosanna to the Son of David," looked round about upon all things and then returned to Bethany with the twelve and lodged there (verse 11 and Matt. xxl. 14-17). According to one of the harmonies, the incidents and sayings of John xii. 20-36, fit in here. I have been helped by considering the following suggestions from the incident of the ass' colt, typifying a sinner brought to and then serving the Lord Jesus: "Vain man would be wise, though man be born a wild ass' colt" (Job xl, 12, omitting the italics). Every sinner may be said to be found where two ways meet (Mark xl, 4), for he is in the broad way and can step out of it into the narrow way if he will. Every sinner is bound by the devil, but may be loosed by disciples and brought to Jesus Christ and may become a Christ bearer.

The lack of increase is due to the fact that too many died of Tuberculosis during that period. STRENGTII & LIFE could have saved 85 per cent of those who died. Mrs. Susie Love, Rockville, Md. writes: "STRENGTII & LIFE is a remarkable medicine. It is helping me wonderfully. I walked out into the yard Saturday without a cane, after taking two bottles. That is something I have not done since I was paralyzed fourteen months ago." STRENGTH & LIFE prolongs life, and is SPECIFIC for lungs and nerves The people who took it lived to see 1914 Take it till you gain a few pounds, and you will live to see 1915 and many more years. Send two cent stamp for free book containing testimonials, 1914 and 1915 calendars, also what STRENTH & LIFE is, and why it cannot fail to IMPROVE HEALTH.
