THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXII. NO. 50 THE TROUBLES OF HAYTI ARE EXAGGERATED American Newspapers Misrepresent Affairs in the Little Island Republic- CONTRACTORS ARE AT FAULT Concessionaires Circulate False Reports Because They are Held To Their Contracts Port au Prince, Hayti, August 6.—That there is a campaign of misrepresentation being carried on against Hayti by the newspapers of the United States is the opinion expressed by many influential men of this country. Alarmed by the many adverse reports contained in American papers regarding Haytian conditions, Senator Lherison recently arose in the Senate and asked if it were not true that the United States was misrepresenting affairs in Hayti. The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that he had no direct knowledge of the facts in the case, but that the country had been greatly misrepresented. The sending of vessels of the United States Navy to Haytian waters is not relished by the people of this country, who present the idea that Haytians need interference from outside sources. Even though the United States has declared that it wants no territory here, many seem to think that the United States wants Mole St. Nicholas as a coaling station. It would be strategic point, especially since the Panama Canal is to be opened within a few days. Though there are some signs of unrest here, there is no indication that the present government will be overthrown. Leading men of the country express pleasure at the fact that the Haytian consul at New York city and importers in that city state that the country is not bankrupt. The statement of the consul at New York follows in part: "In the republic of Hayti certain conditions are not what the New York newspapers would have the public understand. The current obligations, both internal and foreign; have been promptly met, and nothing is now due any such creditors of the government, notwithstanding the internal affairs of the republic. COUNTRY IS NOT BANKRUPT "In Hayti certain public works, such as railroads, electric lighting, building and repair of highways are let under contract, after competitive bidding, the work being let to the lowest responsible bidder. In the past these contracts have been given to foreigners, and the better part of them to American citizens. The contracts are carefully drawn, and the contractors or concessionaires are held strictly according to the specifications of their respective contracts. An important element of these contracts is the time limit placed on the completion of the work, this being in the interest of the public welfare. Unless the contracts are completed within the time specified, the contracts or concessions are forfeited. "It has happened in the past that the contractors or concessionaires have not lived up to their contracts, but have delayed the work beyond the time specified, or have in other ways broken their A. HENRY O. TANNER contracts, in consequence of which the contracts or concessions will be taken away from them. The agitation and the cabled news appearing in the daily papers which make the republic appear bankrupt and without money to meet its obligations are the work of men who will have the terms of their contracts enforced against them. The Département of Finance for the past month has been redeeming coupons on the foreign debt interest. This interest was due in June and the government was able to pay the holders of coupons. CHURCH DIGNITARY TAKES A BRIDE Philadelphia, August 6 — As was forecasted in last week's Afro-American Ledger, Bishop Levi J. Coppin and Dr. Melissa Evelyn Thompson were engaged only the wedding took place sooner than was expected. The ceremony was performed at Allen A. M. E. Church Saturday, the venerable Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner officiating. The wedding was a quiet one, and only a few friends of the contracting parties were present. Among them were Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church; Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of Church Extension; Rev. Dr. J. J. Lowe, manager of the A. M. E. Publishing House, and Rev. Frank Webster. Bishop and Mrs. Coppin are spending a brief honeymoon at Cape May, N. J. They will make their home at 1913 Bainbridge street. Bishop Coppin is a native of Maryland and has charge of the Second Episcopal district, which includes the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference. He has occupied a prominent position in the A. M. E. Church and before his election to the bishopric in 1900 was editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. He was the first resident bishop in South Africa; Mrs. Coppin is a native of Columia, S.C. She is a graduate of Allen University, that city, and of the Woman's Medical College, this city. She has practiced medicine in Baltimore for the past two years and only recently gave up the position of resident physician of the Provident Hospital, Baltimore. WERNER IN ACCIDENT Excursionists on the steamer Charles H. Werner bound for Beauty Beach were thrown into panic Thursday afternoon when the vessel was struck by a hoisting machine off Chase's Wharf and the woodwork on the starboard side was badly damaged. William Johnson, a deckhand, was thrown overboard by the collision and narrowly escaped drowning. The vessel was forced to return to its wharf. The vessel will be repaired at once. MAROONED IN THE EUROPEAN WAR DISTRICT Many Prominent Colored Men and Women are Unable to Secure Passage to This Country. COLORED MEN CALLED TO ARMS French and English Governments Call Upon Their Black Colonists to Come to the Among the 150,000 Americans detained in Europe by the war situation are a number of men and women of the race. The number included those who have gone to give vaudeville shows, as well as prominent personages. Henry O. Tanner, the artist, who had been summoned to Philadelphia by the serious illness and subsequent death of his mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Tanner, was unable to leave Paris. Carl J. Murphy, an instructor of German at Howard University, Washington, is unable to leave Germany, where he went to pursue a summer course at the University of Jena. Among the many prominent colored people held up in London are Hon. C. D. 'B. King, the Liberian secretary of state; T. McCants Stewart, an associate justice of the Liberian Supreme Court; Postmaster General Mort, of the same country; Dr. Charles H. Roberts, of New York city, who went to London to read a paper on "The Teeth of the American Negro" before the International Congress of Dental Surgeons and Norman Lassiter, of Newport News, Va., dental inspector at Hampton Institute, John S. Durham, former American minister to San Domingo, his family, and Dr. H. W. Furniss, former United States minister to Hayti, are in Berlin. Alain Leroy Locke, a graduate of Oxford University, and now a professor at Howard University, Washington is in Europe, and the wife and children of William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general of the United States, are in France, where the children are being educated. Rev. M. W. Clair, of Washington, may have escaped the scene of hostilities, having sailed a month ago for the Holy Land. Jack Johnson is in Paris, but he has no desire to return to this country and has offered to enlist in the French Army. Beside the troublesome European situation, one of the European nations is reported to be worrying Liberia and Germany is said to desire a coaling station in Hayti. The German cruiser Panther, which was sunk Wednesday, was sent to West African waters a few years ago in order that the Liberian government may become frightened. Reports received from Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia and other places where there is a large West Indian population state that many have volunteered their services to their respective governments. Most of the West Indians come from Jamaica, the Bahamas and Bermuda, which are English colonies, and many evince a willingness to fight for Great Britain. In the French West Indies, which has two colored members in the French Parliament, the same spirit is being manifested. Believing that her African territory may be menaced France JOHN C. ASBURY recruited Negro troops some time ago, and now plans to greatly increase the number of this class of troops. J. C. ASBURY BACK INTO THE ODD FELLOW FOLD Philadelphia, August 7.—John C. Asbury is back into the order of Odd Fellows after having been out three years. He will be a delegate to the session of the Biennial Movable Committee of the Order, which will be held at Boston next month. Asbury will line up with the Morris forces, it is said. When the recent session of the Subcommittee of Management was held in this city representatives of the Morris and Henry Lincoln Johnson factions approached him, it is claimed, and sought his support at the next B. M. C. He was said to have been then noncommittal as to which side he would support. Mr. Asbury was editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal for a number of years, and at Baltimore four years ago sought election as grand master. Edward H. Morris, who was elected grand master that year; Henry Lincoln Johnson, Ben Davis and William Houston ran the session and he did not have a chance. He withdrew from the fight and on the closing day got out injunction proceedings. He did not win in the final test, however, and left the order. He subsequently organized the Leeds Unity Odd Fellows. The new branch of the order was knocked out in Georgia by court action. Asbury for many years trained with the bosses of the order, and now that these have fallen out, he is regarded as an able ally by the once united bosses. MRS. TANNER LAID TO REST Philadelphia, August 6.—The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Tanner, who died at her home, 2908 Diamond street Sunday after a short illness, was held at Union A. M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon. Many ministers were present at the services, along with a number of the bishops of the church. The deceased was more than 75 years of age. Her husband, Dr. Benjamin T. Tanner, is a superannuated bishop of the A. M. E. Church. She had long been an active worker in the churches and for many years served as treasurer of the Parent Women's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church. She was well known in Baltimore, where her husband served as pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church 70 years ago. Two daughters and three sons survive. One son is Henry O. Tanner, of Paris, the well known painter of "The Raising of Lazarus" and other Biblical scenes. Another is Rev. Carl M. Tanner, pastor of Big Bethel Church, Atlanta. PRICE THREE CENTS MASONS OF HIGH DEGREE IN PITTSBURG Mystic Shriners, Knights Templar and Royal Arch Masons Gath in Large Numbers in the Smoky City PARADES DRAW-LARGE CROWD The Baltimore Delegation Loudly Cheered Along the Line of March—J. H. Murphy Reelected Pittsburgh, Pa., August 7. Representative Masons from all sections of the United States, Canada and the West Indies to the number of several thousand have practically owned the city this week. Those gathered here represent the Imperial Council of Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, the International Conference of Knights Templar, the Grand Masters' Council, the Daughters of Isis and the Order of the Eastern Star. The Knights Templar and the Mystic Shriners alternated in their sessions. The vanguard of the visiting army began to arrive in the city Sunday morning. Large delegations came from Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Washington and Richmond. Those in attendance at the various sessions include some of the most prominent men in the country. Among the features of the session of the International Conference of Knights Templar, was the adoption of an amendment to the constitution providing for its meeting every four years, instead of biennially as at present. The parade of the Knights Templar, Thursday afternoon, was an imposing affair and was witnessed by thousands. The Knights Templar elected the following officers: John P. Turner, Washington, president; William H. Gilbert, Massachusetts, first vice president; Marshall T. Clay, Kentucky, second vice president; A. D. Butler, Missouri, third vice president; Allen P. Smith, Kansas, State vice president; A. D. Partridge, Indiana, State vice president William S. Lewis, this city, treasurer; Henry R. Spencer, New York; J. C. Morton, Pennsylvania; William G. Smith, Washington, secretaries; E D. Loving, Dallas, Tex., marshal. ROYAL ARCH MASONS ELECT Hiram Holy Royal Arch Masons elected the following officers Wednesday night: William G. Butler, New York, president; William S. Lewis, Pittsburgh; T. M. Dent, Washington, vice presidents; James O. Bampfield, Washington, secretary; T. M. Holland, Chicago, treasurer; Rev. P. S. Scott, Pittsburgh, chaplain, and R. B. Ellington, Chicago, chairman of the executive committee. The Daughters of Isis held its session at John Wesiey A. M. E. Church. At the opening session of the Mystic Shriners, Monday, Imperial Potentate J. H. Murphy, of Baltimore, delivered a well-received address. During the course of his address, he mentioned the Mexican and European wars, expressing the hope "that this fratricidal strife will soon end. "Along race lines," he said, "we have much to endure, more especially in our Southland. Segregation has now been added to disfranchisement and 'Jim Crow' laws, but there are strong men and women of the other race, as well as our own, coming to our help and there is a brighter day ahead." He praised the work that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is doing for the race and urged that the race support the movement. The Mystic Shriners refused the petition of Massachusetts that it be separated from Rhode Island. The various arab patrols and delegates, with their camels, paraded Wednesday. Used to treading the hot sands of the desert those in line did not mind the hilly streets of Pittsburgh. J. Edward Smith, of Jerusalem Temple, Baltimore, was chosen chairman of the committee on finance and accounts. Imperial Potentate Murphy was reelected Wednesday. The remaining officers were elected at the concluding session today. LIBERIAN MINISTER GUEST AT BANQUET On Eve of His Departure For Home, Tells of His Impressions of this Country Hon. John Lewis Morris, secretary of the Treasury for Liberia, who has been in this country since May, on a diplomatic mission, expects to sail for home within the next few days, if the European war situation should not prevent his passage. He spent two days at Tuskegee Institute this week, where he was the guest of Dr. Booker T. Washington. In speaking of his impressions of the United States, he said to a representative of the Afro-American Ledger: "I have been everywhere well received, and am greatly impressed by the financial progress that the race is making in this country, which I consider surpasses the colored people anywhere. I am much impressed with the banking, commercial and educational institutions conducted by the race, and must admit that many of my pre-conceived notions regarding the colored people of this country have been changed. I consider Tuskegee Institute a remarkable institution, reflecting the great ability of Dr. Booker T. Washington. I have met Americans in all walks of life, and have especially been treated kindly by representative men of the race." Secretary Morris, Consul General Ernest Lyon and Reed Paige Clark receiver of Liberian Customs under the act of 1911, were in Washington Wednesday, where they have conferences with officials of the State Department regarding Iberian affairs. Secretary Morris was the guest of honor at a banquet given by representative citizens of New York city Thursday evening. Toasts were responded to by Collector Charles W. Anderson, who presided; Dr. Lyon, Fred R. Mcore, former American minister to Liberia; Dr. John H. Reed, president of the Caroline Donovan Institute, Liberia; Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, Secretary Morris and others. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was unable to be present, sent a letter of regret. PROMINENT MINISTER-DEAD Houston, Tex., August 6.—Rev. J. M. Codwell, a prominent figure among the Baptists of Kentucky, died at his home here Tuesday. He was at one time editor of the Western Star and for a number of years served as secretary of the Baptist Missionary and Education Convention of Texas. Funeral services were held at Antioch Baptist Church today, ministers and laymen from all parts of the State being in attendance. SUCCESS AFTER HARD STRUGGLE Benefits of a Fixed Aim In Life Seen In Constructive Work of Ambitious Race Leader, Who Knows How to Get Results—Well Educated and Influential. Hot Springs. Ark.—The Knights of Pythias are indebted to Dr. Claude M. Wade for the Pythian sanitarium in this town, which was destroyed by fire about a year ago and which is now being rebuilt. Dr. Wade is in the front rank of active Pythians in this country and is to be found in everything that means the development and uplift of the race. He is a native of Huntsville, Ala., in which city he was born back in the early sixties. He laid the foundation for a successful career in the Rust Institute of Huntsville and at Clark university. It was in Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., where Dr. Wade took his college course. He was not satisfied with this, but felt that he could be of better service to humanity by taking up a profession. He entered the Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Tenn., in the dental department. He was an exceptional 114 student and finished the course in 1888 with honors. But this was not enough, for in 1891 he graduated from the Louisville Medical college with the degree of M. D. His first work was done in Kentucky. He remained there a few years and decided to go to Arkansas, locating at the greatest health resort in the world. Hot Springs. He was not in this city long before his medical skill and ability were discovered by the people, and his practice began to increase. He enjoys today a large practice, and people have come to him from all parts of the country. To serve his race has been one of Dr. Wade's chief desires, hence he is found in every organization which is working in that direction. In every fraternal organization his effort has been to have them do something tangible for mankind. He declares that it is not enough to pay a little weekly sick stipend and bury the dead, but the living should be looked after and life prolonged. When a few years ago, he approached the Knights of Pythias with a proposition to purchase a bath house and sanitarium, the idea was condemned by many. Dr. Wade did not give up, but pushed his claim until he got the co-operation of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. The movement was deemed a wise one and the sanitarium was purchased and put in operation. It was helpful to thousands of Pythians and the general public until destroyed by fire. It was decided to rebuild the structure and the work is now going on and when the sanitarium is completed it will be one of the finest of its kind in the country and the only one operated by our race. It is the only place where our people can go to in Hot Springs and get the benefit of the wonderful water. They are admitted to the government bath house, but it is necessary, for one to be admitted, to say that he is poor and not able to pay for the baths. Dr. Wade enjoys a lucrative practice, and has worked his way to the front. He is a factor in the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and enjoys a wide reputation as a physician. Knights of Pythias State Encampment. The state encampment of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania held at Williamsport, Pa., from Sunday, July 26. to Friday, July 31. inclusive, was largely attended by members of the order from all parts of the state. The uniform rank was very conspicuous. The camp under the general supervision of Brigadier General Frank Sutton and staff was conducted along strictly military lines. The Pittsburgh delegation with members of the Courts of Calanthe made the trip to Williamsport in a special train. Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier of Philadelphia has made a splendid showing his incumbency supreme lodge and the order will ALL READY FOR NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Program For the Muskogee (Okla.)

Blue In Louisville, Ky. The work of the eastern and western branches free public libraries for colored people in Louisville, Ky., is conducted by Librarian Thomas F. Blue along the most approved business lines. The library staff consists of five persons, with three trained substitutes. The library conducts an apprentice class for those desiring to enter library service. Applicants must have a high school education or its equivalent and pass an examination to enter this apprentice class. The class puts in three months' actual work in the library in all departments before students are placed on the eligible list for positions on the staff. The work of the colored branch libraries of Louisville. Ky., is unique, and until recently there was nothing like it elsewhere. Assistants preparing for library work with colored people have been sent to Louisville from other cities for training. Louisville is to be congratulated on what she has done for the advancement of the colored people through library work, and Mr. Blue on the splendid manner in which he has carried out the policies of the librarian. Where the Color Line Is Not Drawn. Three colored men are members of the chamber of deputies in Paris. They are well educated and influential in the political affairs of their respective districts. M. Grutten Cundace represents Gundeloupe. He is a scientist by profession. The other two deputies are from Senegal and Gundeloupe respectively. France never has drawn the color line, so it is said, and in parliament the Negroes are received on an equal plane. There should be no discrimination on account of race, color or creed among the citizens of any free coun THE AFRO-AMERICA J LEDGER THE AMERICAN BLACK ARCADIA GOVERNED BY CAPABLE MEN Authentic Account of Advancement Made by the People of Large and Wealthy Municipality In the Far Southwest Once Trackless Plain Becomes Great Center of Industry. By RALPH W. TYLER. There is a popular belief existing, which I, too, shared before my recent visit to Boley, Okla., that Boley is but a mere settlement of incapable initiators, ignorant lawmakers, like some who obtruded themselves into public office in the south during the reconstruction period; that a few log huts and makeshift houses and stores, that are stores only in name, constitute Boley; that the municipal government is a farce comedy, and that "modern" is a word as foreign here as phonetics to a Brazilian monkey that quenches his thirst in Colonel Roosevelt's river of Doubt. The town is well illuminated by electric lights furnished by the city's modern electric light and power plant; the main street, in its entire length, has granolithic sidewalks; the stores are substantially built, well stocked and orderly conducted; the church edifices are very creditable indeed, and the town's bank building and Masonic temple are the equal of any town with three times its population, both being brick, the Masonic temple being a $35,000 structure. Holley is a modern town. The public school building is a perfectly modern, two story, eight room brick of chaste design. In addition to it there is a good denominational school. Nineteen teachers are employed to instruct a registered $90 Negro pupils. Eight churches conserve the religious interests of the town, two Baptist and one each of the following denominations: A. M. E., C. M. E., M. E., Congregational, Catholic and Church of God. The people of Boley subscribe for 2,100 monthly publications, 1,800 weekly publications and 150 daily publications. This number of publications subscribed for by a community of 2,500 souls indicates that Boley is a reading community that means to keep informed regarding what is current in the great outside world. The town maintains seven physicians, two dentists, six lawyers and fifty-one merchants, the latter having over $400,000 invested in their businesses. The town has a federal form of government. On arriving at this town, and I ought to dignify it with the title of city because of the highly intelligent manne in which its laws and ordinances are administered, the visitor alights at a railroad station whose station master, ticket agent, express agent, telegraph operator and "baggage smasher" are all men collated by the census bureau at Washington as Negroes. One finds here the well conducted hotel is presided over by a member of the race; that the telephone exchange is a Negro institution; that the electric light and power plant is wholly in the hands of Negroes. There is no race discrimination in Boley. Although the city is an exclusively Negro owned and populated town, when a white man puts in an appearance at Boley, as is frequently the case, on business errands, he is not subjected to the discrimination and revolting segregation to which Negroes are so frequently subjected in white governed communities. In this Negro town a white man is accorded that generous hospitality which must impress him with the Negro's sincere desire to return good for evil. Captivated by the harmony existing here, observing the progress being made, I could not help recalling Oliver Goldsmith's lines: Hope, like the gleaming taper's light Adorns and cheers the way And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray. There are many things, and frequent discouraging happenings to incline those of us with less sturdy hearts to the belief that, for the race, "darker grows the night." But when we turn our eyes to Booley, Okla., to Mound Bayon, Miss., and a dozen other exclusively Negro towns "where peace and smiling pleutty reign," in which is the proof of Negro co-operation and capacity for self government we are made conscious of the fact that "Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, adorns and cheers the way." As Plymouth Rock, where the Pilgrim fathers landed, was a wild, bleak, uninviting spot, save for the hope it offered for freedom of thought and action, so Boley, only a dozen years ago, was but a virgin forest, a trackless plain, an unpeopled region that offered no welcome save to those who desired to establish upon the south's immutable predjudice the fact that "white or black, a man's a man for all of that;" that the Negro can co-operate and harmonize, and that he has the intelligent capacity for self government. For the Negro race, in its desire to establish proof of its capacity for self government, Boley is the hope that "inducers and cheers the way." Boley, the "Million Dollar Black City," is magnificent in its proof of race progress and entanglement for government.

Surely there are few charities more deserving of help. ```markdown ``` Whether the Kaiser, in engaging England, France and Russia in conflict, "bit a bigger mouthful than he can chew," will be decided at a sooner or later period. The present fact is that he certainly took "some" mouthful. The prospect of having Mr. W. H. J. Beckett as general secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. is indeed a pleasant one. Probably no man would receive a more united support than would Mr. Beckett, and it is conceded that the work would go forward by leaps and bounds under his leadership. A dispatch from Clarksville, Tenn., last week, stated that a white man had been lynched for assaulting a colored girl. We are as much opposed to the lynching of white men as we are to the lynching of colored men but it only goes to show what a poor rule it is that does not work both ways. A colored man, a subject of the British Crown, came into the office of the Afro-American this week, announced that he had reported to the British Consul in this city, and said he was ready to start for the front as soon as his country needed him. It is all the same the world over; when the call is made to defend the honor of the flag, whether it is in America, England or elsewhere, the colored man can be depended upon to answer when his name is called. In assuming the head of the Sunday School and Epworth League work in Kentucky, Mr. DeBardeleben will have the best wishes of the citizens of Baltimore. Mr. "Debard" as he is affectionately called by his friends, as secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has done a splendid work in this city for moral uplift and the appointment to which he goes on the 15th of this month will offer large opportunities in the class of service to which he is best fitted. Bon voyage. THE NATION MOURNS The heart of the nation goes out in sorrow to President Wilson in the death of his wife. Judged by all standards she was a most estimable woman, a dutiful wife, a good mother and a Christian character. A woman of domestic tastes she showed her sympathies for the lowly when she worked for the elimination of the evils of the slum life in Washington. President Wilson, during the 17 months that he has been in office has had trials and troubles that he probably never dreamed of. The Mexican trouble, the tariff, the currency question, the Panama tolls question were enough to tax any man. With the coming of the European war his troubles increased, and between love for his wife and duty toward the world he wrote the proposal of mediation while seated at his dying wife's bedside. The whole American people, white and colored, sympathize with the President in his bereavement. Peace be to their ashes! THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER In connection with the celebration to be held in this city, next month, it will be interesting, as well as helpful, for colored Americans to recall some of the events connected with the war a century ago. The real beginning of the war proceeded from the outrage of June 22, 1807, when a bunch of American Negroes, and one white man, were dragged off the Chesapeake an American vessel, and put in irons by one of the British Naval ships. The names of these colored men were: Daniel Martin, John Strachan and William Ware. The controversy, concerning the matter, continued until 1811, and the result was the second war with England. The tendency to ignore Afro-Americans in connection with such patriotic celebrations, is not begotten of the idea that the Negro had little or no connection with such wars, but it is nothing more nor less than the lingering effects of race-prejudice, and in the language of the late Bisonp Potter, "race prejudice dies hard." However, in those early times, the naval branch of the United States service presented greater inducements to colored men to enlist, for here they found much less prejudice against the race, and more of that fraternity which should exit among men fighting for one country and one flag. In Mackenzie's Life of Commodore Perry's Surgeon Usher Parsons, is quoted as stating that "about one in ten or twelve of the crew was Black." With respect to the qualifications of colored men, as seamen, Commodore Chauncey wrote to Commodore Perry, recommending them as follows: "A part of them are not surpassed by any seamen we have in the fleet, and I have yet to learn that the color of the skin can affect a man's qualifications or usefulness. I have nearly fifty blacks on board of the ship, and many of them are among my best men. They are attentive, and obedient, and, as far as I can judge, many of them are excellent seamen." Let our teacher not fail in impressing the colored youth that in every war of this country, "the black troops fought nobly, and won a warm place in the heart of all Americans who do not worship at the shrine of race-prejudice. --- LET THE NEGROES: REMAIN EXCLUDED It seems that in the city of Richmond, Va., a number of "big Negroes" have registered as "Democrats," and are desirous of participating in the Democratic primaries, and Attorney General Pollard, of that State, has given forth his opinion that none but white men are eligible to participate in a Democratic primary. We find ourselves in agreement with Mr. Pollard, viewing the matter wholly from the point of view of a Southern white Democrat. It is a great mistake for colored men, in Virginia, to seek to participate in a Democratic primary. We certainly hope that such will be kept out. The real reason for "disfranchisement" of the Negro in the South, is the conviction that the white man alone should govern. This certainly is the inspiration of the disfranchising laws. The disfranchisement of the colored man is not because he is ignorant, but because he is a Negro. This being a fact, how can white Democrats consistently hold such a position, and, at the same time admit Negroes to vote in their own primaries? Such an inconsistent attitude would proclaim that after all Negroes were disfranchised solely because they did not vote the Democratic ticket. Colored Virginians ought to recall some of the history of their own state which does not extend to THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER THE CHORAL SCHOOL the days before the war. Just about 1877-8, a great and serious row occurred in the Democratic party. At the time of its occurrence the Negro was absolutely out of state politics. The Democratic party had undisputed sway. It was the poorer and common classes arrayed against the quality and aristocratic class. It became warm and exceedingly interesting. One side appealed to the Negro for help and the other side followed suit. Have the Virginia colored leaders forgotten about the cialition, on both sides? John W. Daniel, Peel Brooks, William H. Lester, and others, on the side of the "Debt-payers," and Mahone, Pete Carter, Anderson Taylor, and others, on the side of the "Readjusters." Here we have an actual case where the Democratic party was split, with the colored vote divided on both sides. But Mahone made the largest bid for the Negro vote, and he got it. What was the result? Why, he kept his word, and delivered the goods. In evidence that he did deliver the goods, a brief recitation will suffice: Three colored men in the state Senate, twelve or fourteen in the House; colored pages as well as white pages; two Negro clerks in the Auditors office in the basement of the old Capitol building; Negro guards pacing up and down the walls of the State Penitentiary; money appropriated to found the Negro School at Petersburg, and money to erect a new insane asylum for colored people, and a number of other concrete results. Now, what is the lesson to the Negro from all this? It is plainly this, keep out of the Democratic party and primaries until you are invited in at the front door. Oh yes, it will come, but it is a case of long patience, and getting ready in the meantime. If you let the Democrats severely alone, and attend to your own business, after while, as sure as the night follows the day, they will get into a big row among themselves, and each side, anxious to win will turn to Sambo for help. At present we are receiving the most valuable part of our education. We are learning how to wait. We are mastering the great faculty of self-control. We are learning obedience through suffering, and when we come again we shall come to stay, and to render a genuine contribution to civic affairs. Let the Democrats alone. As the poorer whites become more and more ambitious to entirely run affairs, and relegate to the rear the blooded class, the climax will be reached, and our opportunity will dawn, and we shall then have no need to go around to the back gate.—Just now it is a case of serving by waiting. "He serves who waits." LONG GREEN NEWS Long Green, Md., August 6. The all day's meeting that was held at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church on last Sunday was a success A large crowd came out from Baltimore.

HAPPY HOOLIGANS ANNUAL RECEPTION In the wee sma' hour 2.30 a. m. of the morning of July 23, the Happy Hooligan Social of East Baltimore, and a party of twenty Washingtonians, started on their 5th annual Bus Party, from the residence of the President Mrs. Mary Burke. 1504 Milliman street, to Fairy Grove Park. The day was pleasantly spent in dancing, boating, baseball, football lawn tennis, croquet, skating and golf. The Hooligans were kept in laughter during the entire day by the "Father Alfred A. Mitchell" while the "Mother Sarah Mitchell's" attention was turned to the many good things to eat. The return trip of the Hooligans needs much comment, for the two beautiful buses, "Bob Kninier" drawn by six horses, and the "Katherine" drawn by four horses, illuminated with red, white and blue lights and the singing of familiar melodies caused crowds of people to throng the streets as they passed by. The following composed the entire party: Baltimoreans—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Burke, Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Emory Waters, Mr. and Mrs. Churchill, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Wells, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Myers, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H.

While both white and colored men were assembled in and about the bar at Brandywne, Thomas Driver about 30 years of age, was shot by the proprietor of the bar. It is said that the proprietor borrowed twenty cents from Thomas to make change and when Driver asked for his money Wheatley declared he had given it back to him already. Driver denied the white man's statement, and a fight ensued. Wheatley tried to strike Driver with a stick while in the bar, but Driver protected himself. Wheatley ordered Driver out of the bar and while the man was going posthaste, Wheatley pulled the trigger of a revolver twice; but the weapon failed to fire. He followed Driver outside and in front of a Mr. Smith's Hotel when the revolver went off and bored a hole through Driver's thigh. He is in a serious condition at his home here, and the doctor fears blood poison will be the outcome. Driver's father witnessed the shooting. Nothing has been d ne with Wheatley; he is still in his bar. Whiskey is still an awful curse to the colored man in Prince George county. MARYLAND'S CAPITAL Annapolis, Md., Aug. 6.—Mrs. E. S.

While it savors of fiction yet we take it on its face value. "Jack Johnson, the colored champion of the world, strolled into a Parisian cafe, not long ago, and on leaving posted a card with the following inscription on his diamond studded cane-head:— 'This cane belongs to Jack Johnson, who can kill a man with one blow.' On returning to the cafe a little later he found his cane minus the diamond studded head, with the following card pasted thereon; 'The man who stole this cane can cover five miles in one minute, and left here half hour ago.' We have read another report to the effect that Li'l Artha Johnson has turned his automobiles over to the French government for their use in the war, and has also offered his services in the army. Should Gunboat Smith join the English army and Georges Carpentier the French army, as has been reported, we predict the speedy finish of the world's premier heavyweights. Then there'll be a scrap as to who is the world's champion on this side of the water. Joe Jeanette stopped Black Bill in the ninth round of their scheduled 10 round bout before the Irving A. C. of New York, last Saturday night. That Howard P. Drew, the champion 100 yard sprinter of the University of Southern California will compete in this city at the A. A. U. championship during the Star Spangled Banner Celebration is almost a certainty. According to latest reports the Amateur Athletic Union has refused to allow Drew and several other runners who are members of that organization to participate in the big athletic meet which is to be held in Toronto the same date of the meeting here, September 12. According to reports if these runners fail to show up at the meet here by reason of their presence at the meet in Toronto, they will be barred from future events of the Association. Drew was scheduled to meet Applegarth, the English champion at Toronto, as well as several other famous 100 yard men. We recently read of a "phenom" that has been uncovered from the woods of Virginia who could do the 100 yard dash is something like 8 3-5 seconds, and who was coming to the meet here to put Drew and others of his class in the "cooler." The following little scrib we quote verbatim: "The woods are full of ten-second men, but the men who actually run the 100 yards in 10 seconds can almost be counted on the fingers of Mordecia Brown's right hand." In the fourth and most unsatisfactory of all their battles Joe Jeanette outpointed Battling Jim Johnson before the Stadium A. C. of New York, Wednesday night. Jeanette's frequent rights to the body of the Battler and stinging lefts to the "map" of same person caused the decision to be rendered in his favor. Jeanette had the better of every round. Mr. Bernard Webb, the well-known teacher and director under the Public Athletic League, has been dragging a badly battered "hoof" long with him during the last five weeks as the result of a pet pony having pawed him. Mr. Webb's characteristic athletic spirit is noticeable, for he still goes about his duties as director, and attends the Fed's ball game at every favorable opportunity. By the overwhelming score of 18 to 0 the Baltimore professional and business men downed the professional and business men of Washington, D. C., in a baseball farce at Lincoln, Md., last Saturday. The game was the result of a challenge from the latter city to the local men, who likewise administered a defeat to the tennis team drawn from the men or hat city. The score in the tennis matches was 6-5 and 6-1, with Messrs. Winfort Braxton, Ralph V. Cook, and Drs. W. H. Wright and H. S. McCard composing the Baltimore team, and Messrs. Tally Holmes, Harold A. Haynes, Willis M. Menard and John Cromwell, r., composing the Washington team. Following is the line-up of the two teams: BALTIMORE B. F. Brown, c captain W. H. Wright, cf Mr. W. J. Braxton, 2b Mr. Roscoe Price, 3b Dr. H. F. Brown, 2f Mr. W. Jones, ss Mr. Ralph Cook, lf Dr. O. D. Jones, lb Mr. Smith, p WASHINGTON Dr. E. D. Williston, p captain Mr. H. A. Haynes, lb rf Mr. Tally Holmes, 3b Mr. Willis Manard, ss Mr. Maveritt, c Mr. J. W. Cromwell, Jr., p Mr. W. A. Warfield, lf Dr. A. C. Garner, cf Judge Robert Terrell and Dr. Harry S. McCard acted as umpires. Special trains carried about 200 enthusiastic rooters from the two cities to the scene of the conflict. Daisy Bell, of this city, and Seattle Kid, of Philadelphia, are scheduled to meet for 15 rounds in a championship battle for the lightweight title of the East at the Westport Rink, next Thursday evening. A good card of preliminaries and semi-windup are also set for that night. The flight will be held under the auspices of the Octooroon Club of Baltimore. The following document purporting to be signed by Jack Johnson previous to entering the ring for his fight with Moran was published in a New York paper this week: June 27, 1914 "I hereby agree to devide of receipts of my contest with Frank Moran on June 27, on a basis of forty percent to Moran and sixty percent to me provided that Frank Moran loses inside of eight rounds." Signed: JACK JOHNSON "After fight must return this receipt." Should the above be genuine it would undoubtedly bar Johnson from the ranks of professional fighters, and relegate him to the scrap heap of professional swindlers. IN MEMORIAM LANE—In loving remembrance of our beloved daughter, Cecile Mary Margaret Lane, who departed this life, August 9, 1899.

MURPHY There need never be the campaign among German speaking peoples that is now being waged by the colored people in the United States for the correct capitalization of the word "Negro." In America most newspapers are thoughtless or unfair enough to spell the word with a small "n." The Germans free themselves from any such criticism by spelling both common and proper nouns with a capital, so it is "der Neger," the Negro, der Schauzer, the black man or der Farbiger, the colored man. Heinrich Hoffman, Concordia College, Illinois, read the card of the first stranger, who in reduced himself in the smoking room. He turned out later to be Reverend, and a missionary bound for his home in Australia via Europe. It is from him that I got suggestion for the above. The Rev. Heinrich has been away from the island continent only a few years and has lost more of his enthusiasm for the country that invented the ballot and inaugurated many of the reform state ownership, labor legislation etc., now becoming general in America. The Australia leads the world here, she is as far behind as South Africa in the education of the colored population. At the first census fifty years ago there were 500,000 natives, today they have dwindled to 17,000 and in thirty years, says the Rev. Heinrich, their number will be negligible. Physically, he went on to say, they are seven or eight feet tall, very black with straight hair that is not stringy like mine. As a people they are hopeless for they are both stupid and lazy. They know the missions will care for them or else nature is abundant enough, so they do absolutely no work. They become Christians but hardly one is educated. The missionary threw more light on the cause of the present conditions when he added, parenthetically, the motto to our country is "Australia for the white man," and admitted that natives are forbidden the cities after sufet. Interesting as well was my conversation with a naturalized Pole who sits opposite me at the table who is a native of Galicia, a small district in Northern Austria, which barely escaped becoming Prussia in the Schlesien wars of Frederick the Great. Like most Poles he resents German leadership in Austria, Hungary, and spoke unsympathizingly of the assassination of the Archduke and Duchess of the dual monarchy recently. He took pains to make it plain that the Servians who committed the crime while members of his race, politically belonged to an independent Balkan state and were very probably incited by Austria's Arch—even Russia, which together with France and England has long been leagued against Austria, Germany and Italy. Refreshing after all this was a sailor's story of his voyages around the world, his desertion at Locust Point, and consequent recapture after he had been employed twenty-one days in an ice cream store. The person who cares to talk about his experiences finds a paradise here. Personal history is not only acceptable but solicited. Quite a number of passengers gathered to hear the recital of a very old mother, who has been in the California State Hospital for twenty-one years. She has been in America more than twice that long, without hearing from the brother and sister she left in Germany and meantime has lost her husband in a railroad wreck, that cut off both arms and legs. She has now decided to go back and see the old homestead before dying. We have something to be thankful for tho, she added: when I came to America fifty years ago, it took seven weeks on a sailing ship, now I go back in ten days. If meals were served on transatlantic ships as frequently fifty years ago as now, certainly the greater part of the cargo consisted of provisions. Now, coffee and rolls are served at six, breakfast at eight, bouillon and sandwiches at ten, dinner at twelve, cake and tea at three, supper at eight, lemonade and sandwiches at ten. Between meals further nourishment in the form of beer may be had. Some of the homeliest proverbs that have known from your youth never have the proper significance for us until they are thoroly grunted thru bitter experience. Until such time as experience teaches its lessons, the proverb remains only a by word, like "I told you so" that we apply to the misfortunes of others for the first three days of the journey weather and ocean were delightful calm; the days were pleasant and the nights cool enough for overcoats. The fourth day brought lowering skies and "white caps" on the sea. The ship that had up to this time moved evenly thru quiet waters, pitched giddily as it alternately ploughed thru crest and trough of rougher waters and varied with this a motion from side to side. The first motion might well be compared to alternate starting and stopping of a railway car, the second to the rise and fall of an elevator. The continuance of this thru the fourth and fifth day brought to some of us ludicrous results. Instead of the gayety and laughter of the first days nothing was heard except the sound of the wind and the creaking of the ship. (It might be added, how anything could creak and shiver so-long and so violently and still hold together is a mystery.) Those who could manage to stay on deck, lay covered with blankets in their deck chairs, and looked mournfully out upon a choppy sea. We who were unaffected, smiled pharisaically to ourselves and dotted on how much stronger we were than they. The dining room presented the same deserted appearance, and the waiters smiled with us when they noticed how many tables sented only two or three instead of the usual twelve and the smile broadened when someone unable to finish the meal, arose hastily and hurried with a long face, for parts unknown. Not until the sixth and seventh days were the ocean and wind calmer, and then the spirits of the company again brightened. Not so ours. We now sat mournfully in our chairs or while others smiled, left the table hurriedly and anxiously, fearful that we might not arrive at parts unknown in time, and hoping that we did not make our exit conspicuously. Verily, it would have been pleasanter to have suffered with the others, nevertheless we have learned well that he who laughs first, does not do all of the laughing.

The visitors were given a delightful drive, from the cars to the Farm, where all were given a splendid country dinner and before leaving cake and lemonade was served. On all sides were heard compliments and words of praise for the women who were making it possible for the children of the city's dark and unhealthy localities to enjoy a week in the country amid the most healthful and uplifting environments. Everything was spotless clean from garret to cellar. The garden in furnishing the vegetables for the children, and a fine cow gives milk that delights and strengthens. Each week a group of boys and girls alternate spending one week at Delight. We are anxious to continue the work until September 1st. We cannot do this unless you give the money. SPECIAL RATES FOR MEDICOS Never in the history of the National Medical Association has such elaborate preparations been made for the entertainment of that organization as are being made by the people of Raleigh, N. C., for the forth-coming session. Everything that is conducive to the comfort and welfare of the visiting physicians and their friends has been prepared. For the scientific portion of the meeting an elaborate program covering every phase of medicine, surgery, dentistry, and pharmacy has been arranged by the program committee. Physicians, dentists, and pharmacists from all sections of the country will take part in rendering this program.

Prairie View, Tex.-The State Normal and Industrial college located here and bearing the name of this town, numbers among the members of its able faculty a young man who has gained distinction in his special line of work. W. P. Terrell is the professor of mechanics and superintendent of the mechanical department at the Prairie View college, and is well fitted for the position. letter for the pearl he was born at Fort Worth, in this state, thirty years ago. His father has been principal of the Fort Worth high school for colored people for the past thirty-two years. Professor Terrell's grandfather was the late Alex- L ander Terrell, a prominent deacon in the Baptist church at Anderson, Tex., and widely known for his many excellent traits of character. His maternal grandfather was Dr. Pierre Landry of New Orleans, La., and was one time mayor of Donaldsonville, La., and a state senator. Young Mr. Terrell set his aim high. After completing the high school course in 1901, young Mr. Terrell entered the Kansas State Agricultural college at Manhattan, Kan., where he took the course in mechanical engineering and graduated in 1904 as the salutatorian of his class, and also received the degree of bachelor of science. He was very popular as a student and a member of the Webster Literary society of the college, and was captain of the school battalion. In the fall of 1904 Professor Terrell entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he graduated two years later in mechanical engineering. Before coming here Mr. Terrell was a machinist helper for the Texas and Pacific company in Fort Worth, timekeeper for the Holbrook, Cabot and Rollins corporation in Boston, and also served the Hydroelectric Installation company at Sewell Falls, Concord, N. H. This latter company built the Charles river dam at Boston. At Lyon, Mass., he was draftsman for the General Electric company. Mr. Terrell spent a year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studying structural engineering. In addition to Professor Terrell's regular departmental work at the Prairie View college, he is responsible for all architectural and engineering repair work. The number of instructors in Professor Terrell's department has been doubled since he took charge and the work put upon a firm basis with the most approved modern methods. He is an associate member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and a member of the National Geographic society. NATIONAL LEAGUE SOCIAL: SCIENCE PRIZE WINNERS. Miss Madree Penn and Maynard H. Jones Win Awards. New York.-The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes announces the award of the prizes offered in the social science scholarship contest recently held by the league. There were two prizes of $50 and $25 to be awarded to the students of three of the Negro colleges who made the best standing in examination in elementary economics, elementary sociology and who presented the best book review of Devine's "Misery and Its Causes." The contestants answered ten questions in economics, five questions in sociology and presented a written review of the book. Students from the following colleges were in the contest: Virginia Union university, Howard university and Morehouse college. The contest was open to students also from Talladega college, Talladega, Ala., and Paline college. Augusta, Ga., but no students from these two institutions entered the contest. All of these colleges are affiliated with the National league and are co-operating in the effort to develop social service training for Negro youth. The first prize of $50 was awarded to Miss Madree Peem of Howard university; Washington, and the second prize of $25 to Maynard H. Jackson of Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga. The following named persons were the judges who awarded the prizes: Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks, New York university; Mrs. M. G. Worthington, New York School of Philanthropy, and Dr. George E. Haynes, Fisk university, director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. Large interest has been manifested in the contest, and the friends of the two students who have been awarded the prizes are rejoicing in their success.

While the Bar association at Birmingham, Ala., is working hard on ways and means to revise the court procedure whereby standards for practicing attorneys will be raised and technicalities and financial, political and social influence as an obstruction to law enforcement reduced to a minimum, two cases are causing widespread comment and an increased sentiment for judicial reform, says the New York Evening Post in a recent issue. One is the case of an obscure Negro, who was sentenced to fifty years in the penitentiary for robbing a fellow workman of 50 cents and was paroled by the governor because of ill health after serving twenty years. In striking contrast is the case of a highly educated and widely connected aristocrat who, in the capacity of a trusted official, robbed the state of $100,000; was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, took an appeal and, after six months, has not yet been committed to state prison. This contrast in effect upon the public thought and demand for more equitable law enforcement is strengthened by the case of another Negro, who, upon purely circumstantial evidence, has been sentenced by a county jury five times to the gallows during a legal fight covering a period of four years, and his verdicts reversed and remanded three times by the supreme court, and is awaiting execution under a fourth ruling of the higher tribunal. Twenty years ago Frank Williams, an illiterate and poverty stricken Negro working on the road, robbed a fellow workman of 50 cents. A Hale county jury sentenced Williams to fifty years in the penitentiary. He made an excellent prisoner, having been a trusty for eighteen years. His health gave way, and one of the judges of the supreme court recommended that he be paroled. This was recently ordered by the governor after twenty years of the half a century sentence was served. Williams is now sixty-five years old and very feeble. Theodore Lacy, formerly chief clerk of the state convict bureau, who handled $2,000,000 a year of the state's revenue derived from the system of leasing convicts to coal mines and turpentine camps, was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary for stealing $100,000 of the state's funds. Lacy is a grandson of the late United States Senator Edmund W. Pettus of Alabama, of Confederate fame as a general and a political idol in Alabama. For a while Lacy lived high. Everybody like him. His convival temperament caused him to run short in his accounts. Then he collected $100,000 in cash from the Montgomery bar's on checks signed by the president of the convict board, packed the money in suitcases and fled. For six mor his the state tried in vain to apprehend him and spent $10,000 in the work. Suddenly one night Lacy rolled into Montgomery in a high power motorcar, surrendered to the sheriff and announced that he had returned to "face the music." When arraigned he glanced that he had been promised a right sentence, possibly a pardon. If he would return and make a deal for restoration of the money. No part of it has ever been recovered. Lacy was visited in jail by a stream of prominent people and loaded down with floral tributes and table delicacies. After a sensational trial he was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, but an appeal to the supreme court has been pending for months, and so far he has not served a day. The case of Ervin Pope, a Negro who was convicted of murdering a white man on the testimony of a blacksmith who declared the peculiar marks in the mud from the shoe of a mule coincided exactly with unusual dents he made in shoe Pope's animal, is widely cited in contrast with Lacy's trial. Pope has been sentenced to death five times by the county court. Three times the supreme court reversed the verdicts, and once its own ruling, finally confirming the death sentence. Appeal proceedings are again pending, and the case is going over into its fifth year. Contrasts between these cases representing obscurity and poverty as well as race on the one side and affluence and aristocratic family connections on the other have largely increased the force of public sentiment in its demands for revision of the court procedure of the state and more equitable and uniform systems of law enforcement. Some of the legal profession and politically active elements undertake to explain the marked difference between the case of Wittgenau and that How Dr. S. L. Edwards Delights to Serve His Home Folks. Anderson, S. C.-The number of professional men of our race who, after obtaining their education, locate in their native homes to pursue their profession, as a rule is few. This is, however, not true of Dr. S. L. Edwards of this city, who was born and reared here and has his place of business only a few blocks from the house in which he was born. The general public points with pride to the fact that unlike many persons of prominence he is contented to live and do business among the people of his boyhood days, by whom he is honored and highly respected. After completing the public school course in this city Dr. Edwards pursued a course of study at Knox institute, Athens, Ga., and then entered the dental department of Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Tenn., where his ability was so pronounced that he was made a member of the dental faculty. As a professor in that department he raised it to a standard that has made it the envy of other dental schools. 1900 Dr. Edwards appeared before the same board of dental examiners of South Carolina and had the distinction of passing with the highest average grade that year. As a very young man Dr. Edwards always seemed to be filled with the determination to be something and to do something for the race with which he is identified. The success that he has achieved in his chosen profession demonstrates that 0 S. L. EDWARDS, D. D. S. he has not swerved from his original determination. He was married Nov. 16, 1910, to Miss Zadie M. Chancellor. He is a regular attendant at the meetings of the National Medical association, and his papers and discussions are always distended to with marked attention, because his practical experience has fided him to speak with authority. On most occasions when he is visiting the state association meetings, and the annual meetings of the National Medical association, he is accompanied by Mrs. Edwards, who is greatly interested in these organizations and the part which Dr. Edwards takes in helping to make the program of the sessions attractive and instructive. The membership of the association is increasing, and public interest in its annual meetings is widely felt. NEW DORMITORY FOR BOYS. James Hall Most Recent Addition to Student Quarters at Hampton. Dr. Hollis B. F. Brissell, principal of the Hampton (V.A.) institute, delivered the chief address at the recent laying of the cornerstone of James hall, the new dormitory for boys. The money for the dormitory was given by Mrs. D. Willis James of New York city, widow of the late D. Willis James, a well known philanthropic merchant prince. Mr. James himself was a devoted friend of Hampton institute. Arthur Curtiss James, the son of Mr. D. Willis James, is a trustee of Hampton. Dr. Frissell called attention to the love for Hampton which had been handed from father to son and which was now to find new expression in a modern four story brick, fireproof dormitory, which will accommodate about 115 boys. "James hall will be," to quote Dr. Frissell, "a school for Christian civilization." Here Hampton students will live lives of cleanliness and order. They will be taught the laws of health and will be helped in many other ways. The ceremonies included the singing of General Armstrong's favorite hymn, "How Firm a Foundation," which was led by Major R. R. Moton. Hampton's commandant; prayer by Rev. Laurence Fenninger, associate chaplain at the school; address by William M. Reid, president of the Alumni association, and by Sarah C. Fernandis, who has been of great help to her people, and benediction by Rev* A. A. Graham of Zion church, Phoebus, Va. William M. Reid, the well known lawyer of Norfolk, Va., was invited by Dr. Frissell to speak on behalf of the graduates of Hampton, who had assembled to celebrate "alumni day." Mr. Reid said that Hampton illustrated the idea of a continuous growth and referred to its leadership in some important movements. He declared that the Hampton alumni have begun to realize that they are of value to their alma mater and that Hampton's friends will continue their loyal support in proportion to the good work that the graduates do. Mrs. Fernandis of Baltimore referred to the evolution of Hampton from the THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VI.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 9, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark xi, 12-26. Memory Verses, 22, 23—Golden Text, Matt. vii, 20—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Having spent the night at Bethany, they returned on the morrow to Jerusalem. Probably they returned early in the morning, and He at least seems to have had no morning meal, for He was hungry. See His real humanity in that He hungered, thirsted, was weary, wept (John iv. 6, 7; xi, 35). See His humility in that He consented to be thus dependent upon others on this earth, which He Himself had made. Though He was rich, for our sakes He became poor that we through His poverty might be forever rich (John l, 10, 11; II Cor. viii. 9). He was no doubt literally hungry, but as there was meat of which His disciples knew not (John iv. 22), so there were a hunger and thirst of which they knew not. He hungered for fruit from Israel, who proved to be an empty vine, bringing forth fruit into himself; a bad vine, bearing only wild grapes (Hos. x). This lesson is recorded in Matthew and Luke, as well as in Mark, or at least part of it. Matthew says that He saw a fig tree in the way, and Mark says that He saw it afar off. Both phrases are suggestive of the facts that, while Israel professed to be in the way, she was really afar off. Having leaves was a profession of fruit bearing. His finding nothing but leaves was disappointing barrenness. The parable of the fig tree in Luke xiii. 60 shows His patience with His fig tree. His saying in Matt. vii. 16, teaches that it requires a real fig tree to bear figs. The first reference to fig leaves in the Bible shows man's vain effort to substitute something instead of the beautiful garments of light which he had lost (Gen. iii. 7), while the reference in Hab. iii. 17, 18, shows that, though all that is of nature should fail, yet we may find real cause of rejoicing in the Lord Himself. Young translates "forever" (verse 14) to "the age," and we know that, while Israel as a nation has borne no fruit since she rejected Christ, the time is coming when "Israel shall blossom and bad and fill the face of the world with fruit" (as xxvii. 16). He came to Jerusalem and went into the temple, and began to cleanse it, as he had done at the beginning of his ministry (John ii. 13, 17) Jerusalem was the national center, and the temple was the spiritual center, as the heart is the vital center of our being, and true cleansing must be from the center outward. Man booketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. He says: "1. the Lord, search the heart. I try the reins even to give every man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings" (I Sam. xvi. 7; Jer. xvii. 10). See a beautiful and appropriate prayer in Ps. cxxix. 23. 24. In the cleansing in 11 John He used them of making His Father's house a house of merchandise, while here He says that instead of its being a house of prayer they had made it a den of thieves (verse 17). The reference is to Isa. iv. 7. "Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people." and to Jer. vii. 11. "Is this house which is called by my name become a den of robbers in your eyes?" The question is asked in Mal. iii. 8. "Will a man rob God?" And it is also answered. Instead of recognizing all things as given us by God to hold for Him and use as His stewards many are more apt to say: "Our lips (and all things) are our own. Who is lord over us?" (Ps. xii. 4.) The only right attitude is that of David when he said: "All things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee" (I Chron. xxix. 14). The temple was originally built for the Lord that He might dwell there in the midst of His people Israel and that all people of the earth might know Him and fear and serve Him (Kings will, 43-60), but now that the Lord had come to His own temple He was crowded out by business and self seeking. It is even so still in the churches, which are supposed to be for His worship, but from which He is excluded by many things and by worldly ways and in which there is often no room for Him. He is often, as in Rev. ill. 20, inquiring if any person will open his heart's door to Him, hardly expecting that a church will welcome Him. The chief priests and scribes were increasingly determined to destroy Him because His teaching was so opposed to thelrs. He taught daily in the temple and at night went out to the Mount of Olives, for there seemed to be no more of a home welcome for Him anywhere than there was in the temple (Luke xxi. 37; John vii. 53; vill. 1. It was and still is the same old story, "No room for Him" (Luke ii. 7). His thoughts and ways are so far above ours that in our low and unworthy way of looking at things we cannot seem to welcome Him as we should. In the morning as they returned to the city the disciples marveled to see the fig tree withered away. Then came His great word about a mountain being removed if we only had faith (verse 22; Matt. xxi. 21). Compare xvii. 20.

The lack of increase is due to the fact that too many died of Tuberculosis during that period. STRENGTH & LIFE could have saved 85 per cent of those who died. Mrs. Susie Love, rockville, Md, writes: "STRENGTH & 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 prolong 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. On page 6 the boy or girl is the same before and after taking Strength and life. All druggists and the office Dyvyns can use it.
