He told of the business success of the race in Trinidad and Martinique, where the race enjoys a business monopoly, and said thatgthe colored people of British Guiana are anxious for Dr. Booker T. Washington;,to visit there yo that they may be in- spired along business and industrial dines. “The ship that brought me to New York,’ he said, ‘‘was the Rio Janeiro, which belongs to the government of Brazil. {n that country race lines are not known when it comes to individual fit- nese, as was indicated by the fact that a number of the o'ficers on the ship are men of African de- scent, J was especiaily itfiprésstc by my visit to the Island of Martinioue, where 1 witnessed a fo me LES. eae free RCN eS SAS Lge. fr age fie een ee | Be Me ee ge, PRO ke Baaate< etia oY eee ere >. ile ees Beret fee!

A big pavilion had been erected in the public square neat the statue of the Empress and a Jarge concourse of people was out to bid bon voyage to the troopers. The governor general and other leading officials and genuine patriotism prevailed. There were colored and while men among the troopers and not only did each company have men of both races in its ranks, but a number of the officers were men of the race.” No man was known as a ‘'white’’ or a ‘“‘colored’’ one, but all were loyal Frenchmen. ‘The French motto of liberty, equality and fraternity was the ruling spirit. | was agreeably impressed by the fact that the greater portion of the business of Martinique is done by colored merchants. White mer- chants employ colored clerks and bookkeepers and many of the em- ployees of the government are colored.

We have a number of flourishing stations in the three provinces into which the colony is divided. At Georgetown, where we have two churches, a farewell recep- tion was tendered me. Mayor Dais, one of the speakers, wat especially fulsome in his praise and ventured the hope that more and more men of the race would enter business pursuits, instead. of confining their activities along the higher lines almost eaclusively to the profession. There is practically no business neing done by the race in British Guiana, but there are a number of capable men in the BISHOP JOHN HURST professions who have been educated in England. In Guiana, like in most of the West Indies, the cihef industry is raising sugar cane, The wages are extremely low, varying from 30 centsa day for men in Guinea to 20 cents a day’in Barba- does. In Dutch Guiana: the govern- ment has signed an agreeemnt tc give $3,000 a year toward the ex. penses of a big school, British Guiana has about 3,000 coolies, 180,000 Negroes and 120,000 whites “Our church is greatly indebted to the foresight and zeal of the late Rey, R. A. Sesley, who established the work in Barbadoes and other places in the West Indies. 1 mus! say that the prospects down that way look bright for African Meth: odism.’” A bishop in the British posses- sions is addressed as ‘‘your lord- ship,” and Bishop Hurst was no exception to the custom. ‘The Free Lance, a race journal published at Georgetown, British Guiana, said ‘His lordship’s visit here cannot fail,toibe of inestimable benefit and seeds he has sown will bear fruit in the near future, we believe.”” Along other places that the pre- late vsited were St. Croix, St. Kitts, Antiqua, St, Lucia,Grenada, Barbadoes and Trinidad.

Commencement week returns again with its bevy of sweet girl and bright boy graduates, who make their initial bow to the public and ask that most perplexing question, "how can we serve you?" In a sermon to the graduates of the Normal school, Rev. L.Z. Johnson, gave some very unusual advice to future teachers, at the Madison Street Presbyterian Church on last Sunday. Hed urge them to take particular pains with the dull student, with the hope of using the slumbering genius within him and to remember that the student who earns the reputation as a blockhead under one teacher and in one subject may do exceptional work under other circumstances. Further, that dullards are made very often by the impatient and unsympathetic teacher, who has no understanding of child life. It is the "Ninety and Nine" with a new application, and it is also sound pedagogy. COMMUNITY SINGING The idea of community singing as illustrated by Mr. Peter Dykema of the University of Wisconsin at the Peabody last winter and adopted by the school board for the public schools is one that deserves more than passing notice and transitory cultivation. With us, congregational singing has been developed to a remarkable degree, but until this time, no one except the German singing societies has attempted communal singing in the open air. The learning and the repeated singing of a number of songs by school children will mean more than the simple memorizing of words and tunes, altho this is the most that can be hoped for in the lower grades. It will mean a larger appreciation of rhythm and harmony, and eventually a nation of singers, who are able to express the best they feel in song. So far as the choice of songs is concerned, there is something to be hoped for. The collection includes "America" and the "Star Spangled Banner." The first does not belong to us and the second is far too difficult to ever become vocally popular. "The Old Folks at Home" and "My Old Kentucky Home" must be modernized, and substitution made for the word "darky," before they can be acceptable to large numbers of our people. It might have been true years ago, but it is not true now that "the head must bow and the back will have to bend, wherever the darky may go." Of this particular part of the past we do not wish to be reminded, and should prefer if anything that the contrary rather than just this be stated. To the strains of "Dixie," the confederate soldiers marched into battle. More than this the feeling is often that we should rather anywhere else but "way down eouth in Dixie." "Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground" "John Brown's Body," would have made both in melody and in words a far nobler appeal. "Drink to me Only," "Love's Own Sweet Song," "Sweet and Low" are universally loved. "How can I leave Thee," adapted from the German, because of its short stanzas and its plaintive melody will probably prove most popular of the eighteen songs suggested. THE NEGRO AND THE NEXT WAR When Secretary Bryan resigned recently one of our war vessels was ordered home and a number of her crew under suspicion as native born Germans given leave of absence on pay. A war with Germany if not likely is at least possible. The question of the attitude of the German-Americans, has received a large share of press discussion and thereby indicates its significance. America would hardly undertake war against Germany knowing the avowed intention of the millions of Germans in this country, altho citizens of the republic, to support their native land. Every effort is made to impress these former subjects of the Kaiser that they are now full citizens of United States, and that the responsibility of defending it goes hand in hand with the enjoyment of its benefits. We ask the question for the first time, what are the ten millions of Negro Americans with their two and one half million males of military age going to do? It is apparently taken for granted that the Negro will be carried away by his patriotic feelings at the outbreak of a war, like Crispus Attucks the first to fall fighting for his country; like the ninth cavalry at San Juan, to bear the brunt of the battle when called upon; or the black soldiers at Fort Pillow, who sacrificed themselves where others feared death. It is taken for granted that the colored people will enlist for the animal love of fighting, and the enemy laid in the dust, return home from the full achievements as soldiers to the limited rights as citizens, to be discriminated against, segregated and lynched. This is a question that the Negro must decide for himself, and more than that, one that he must think out thoroly and determine a line of action before a declaration of war catch him unawares. Shall he declare what he has so often declared—that he is a full citizen—and then fulfill the duties of that citizenship, or shall he determine upon a new line of action, and by refusing to enlist, hope to obtain concessions in time of war that are denied in time of peace? We content ourselves here merely with the statement of the question and invite our readers to give us in these columns the benefit of their discussion. What stand shall the Negro take in the next war? A SAD CONDITION Scarcely has there been any occurrence in this city during the past fifty years which is more genuinely pathetic than the failure of the Y. M. C. A., up to the present to collect the pledges made for its building fund. It is pathetic, not so much by reason of the failure to get in the money promised, but because it tells the story of a seeming lack of honor. What can, and what will, honorable and disinterested people think of our conduct in this matter? It is generally known that the Colored People of this city pay taxes on millions of dollars worth of property; there are some twenty or more physicians with well paying practice; and a number of business men doing fairly well; a number of well paid ministers of the Gospel; quite an army of colored employees of the government; some two or three hundred public school teachers, and a large army of industrious people working for fairly good wages, and more than two million dollars of the money of colored people in Savings Banks. What can our neighbors of the white race think concerning us? Only one thing, so it seems to this writer. Their thoughts would seem to run as follows: The colored people, the best of them, are but children in the realm of thought and the fine sense of personal honor. They do not fully appreciate the force of ideas. As serve as such criticism may appear it certainly finds justification in the present failure of the Y. M. C. A: effort. There is hardly any other institution so sorely needed in this city than what is purposed by the proposed new building. Just the very idea of an imposing and well equipped building where the thousands of young colored men from all sections of the city may frequent and receive every kind of help, physical, mental and moral, with inspiration for noble lives, ought to prevailingly appeal to every industrious and worthy colored man in the city. Friends from without realizing the sad disadvantages, as well as the comparative poverty of the race, came nobly forward and offered seventy-five thousand dollars on the condition that the whole race, for whose benefit is the enterprise, furnish twenty-five thousand dollars. Thus, so far have we succeeded in demonstrating that we are incapable of realizing the significance of it all. BABIES HAVE INNING AT PRIZE CO Verily, a new order of has come about. A Thousant Babies demand more which they claim mother fathers, as well as neighbor officials, must respect no hereafter. They have just successful night and day see their First Annual Hygier gress and Prize Baby Heat test at Sharp St. Memoria We regret that many months ago the authorities, after having given ample opportunity for the payment of pledges, did not see fit to present the names of all those who promised and paid nothing on their pledge. This done, we have not the least doubt but that those who had already pledged, and paid their pledges, would gladly have submitted to a second pledge to save the honor and good name of the race, as well as secure an institution so urgently needed for the men of the race. But, it will be too much to expect until they have concrete evidence of the extreme necessity, as they view the long list of names of those whose pledges were not worth the paper upon which they were written. If such a list is speedily given publicity, enthusiasm will be engendered by the which "the old guard" may save the day, and remove the reproach of the race. BALTIMORE TO HAVE FIRST CLASS EXHIBIT That Baltimore and Maryland will have one of the best exhibitions at the National Negro Exposition which will be held in Richmond, is the declaration made by Mr. Ben jamin Smith, who has charge of the collecting of exhibits from this state. In an interview with a reporter of the Afro-American Ledger Mr. Smith expressed himself as much pleased with the manner in which the people of the city and vicinity have been sending in their exhibits, and said that they represented every field of activity. "The manner in which the people of this city have responded to the call for exhibits has been exceeding in flying" he said, "and should they continue to come in at the same rate for the next two or three days, there is no doubt but that Baltimore will be way ahead of the other big cities who are preparing to send exhibits. "After a very successful interview with the members of the School Board, they decided that it was advisable to have some of the work of the various colored schools on show at the exhibition. This was indeed gratifying to me, as I can well remember the favorable comment elicited as a result of the work of the boys at the old Polytechnic Institute, which was exhibited at the Atlanta Exposition. It simply means that people all over the country will not only have a chance to view the work of the pupils of our local schools, but will have an opportunity to contrast it with work of the pupils in schools in other sections of the country. I am sure that when such a contrast is made it will be found that the work of the pupils in our local schools is as good as can be found anywhere in the country." Mr. Smith left for Richmond to look out for some of the exhibits that have already been sent to the exhibition. He will return early next week to look after the shipment of the exhibits that are now being prepared in the schools. PREPARING FOR BIG RECEPTION The Methodist Men's Social Union met at St. Paul Church on Saratoga street Tuesday, June 15th to continue the program of the great reception of Methodist men to be given at Sharp Street Church Monday evening, June 28th. It was indeed a very favorable meeting and they planned for large things. Each church as near as possible will have an individual banner which will be placed over the table. A selected orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion. One of the best caterers will serve. The meeting further agreed that the men might invite the ladies as their guests and they will be seated at the table of their choice. A larger and more interesting program has never been proposed and when we consider that they are to be discussed by such men as Bishop Cranston, Dr. Ernest Lyon and Dr. Hingley, we are sure they will give us the matter as it will come up before the next general conference. We have had it said that ministers and the men of the church were not together but much of this has come because they failed to come more together in the past. Be sure to attend this great men's movement. Adv. BABIES HAVE INNING AT PRIZE CONTEST Verily, a new order of things has come about. A Thousand Militant Babies demand more rights, which they claim mothers and fathers, as well as neighbors and officials, must respect now and hereafter. They have just closed successful night and day session of their First Annual Hygienic Congress and Prize Baby Health Contest at Sharp St. Memorial M. E. Church under the joint auspices of that Gibraltar of Negro Insurance Companies, the National Benefit Association of Washington, and the trained Nurses' Association, Mrs. A. Simms Johnson, president. Have you heard of it? Here's their slogan: "Safety (not safety-pin) First; Save the Babies; for the Babies of Today are the Men and Women of Tomorrow." When asked the cause of the meeting one bright eyed one, evidently the spokesman for his copartners in sufferings, injustice and struggles remarked that necessity is the mother of invention. Furthermore he said they wanted these rights before Father Time claimed them. The dimpled little ones came in twos and fours, cooing and crowing, entering into the spirit of the Better Baby Show at Fairyland. Impetus was given to this Health Contest by the Seventeen Dollars and a Half in gold offered by the National Benefit Association. The program rendered consisted of the following: "Mental and Physical Condition of Prospective Mothers," Dr. J. H. Thempkins. "Proper Care of Babes", Dr. E. Mayfield Boyle. "Care of Teeth," Dr. Jessie M. Wilkins. "Feeding, Dressing and Bathing Babies," R. N. Mrs. A. Simons Johnson. "The Future of Our Babies," Dr. Edward Short and Hon. S. W. Rutherford, General Secretary. The medical examinations, lectures and demonstrations were free. Interest became keener every hour and continued to do so until Dr. Ernest Lyon, ex-minister to Liberia awarded the wreath of victory in the shape of a Two Dollar and a Half ($2.50) gold crown piece to the following best physically developed victors: Charles Burns, 535 Dolphin street; Master Walter Carr, 2040 Druid Hill avenue; Miss Mary Covington, 347 Campbell; Master Leroy Matthews, 524 N. Duncan street. Master Arnold Bailey, 1128 Division street carried off the Two Dollars and Half ($2.50) gold in honor of having more relatives present than any other infant delegate. Having gained a local conquest the toddlers adopted the following resolution: "The rest of the National Benefit Association territory is our field." And to carry out their resolution they reelected Mr. W.S. Johnson, the show manager, but with implicit instructions to first visit Hymen's altar in Altoona, Pa., on the 21st and there claim for himself a fair June bride. To perpetuate their local organization they reelected the following officers: I. C. Reddie, district manager; C. H. Dis, assistant district manager; J. E. Robinson, superintendent; Mrs. C. B. Watson, secretary and Mrs. F. S. Hendrickson, assistant secretary. They adjourned sine, die, but not before extending thanks to the examining physicians, lecturers, demonstrators, trained nurses and agents of the National Benefit Association. The local officers of the company are situated at 1200 Pennsylvania avenue. They report they're doing a thriving insurance business. It was the National Benefit Association, that put up Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in gilt edge bonds to meet the requirements of the insurance laws of the state of Maryland for the protection of the insured. It issues most liberal straight-life, endowment, sick and accident policies at popular prices and is a thoroughly progressive company.

ANNUAL SERMON TO GRADUATING CLASS The graduating class of the Colored High and Training School together with the faculty attended Sharp St. Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church last Sunday morning and listened to the Annual Sermon delivered by the Rev M. J. Naylor, the pastor from the Text "The integrity of the upright shall guide them." Subject: Integrity, the Guide of the Upright. Dr. Navlor said in part: "The loftiness of the origin of these words appears upon the most superficial study of them. Nothing in them appeals to ones lower self. They bear upon their very face the impress of celestial birth. This is a powerful argument for the divinity of the Bible. Decadence of the family atlar and decline in the study of the Bible as a logical sequence is lamentable in the extreme. . . . I commend to you the study of the Bible as the unfailing source of truth and moral and spiritual strength. "Integrity" is derived from integer one of the nine first numerals which represents a whole number or character. After nine come doubles. Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication deal with nothing else but integers. When you come to Division you come to Fractions and sea of trouble. Learn morals from mathematics. Here we are taught to be single but not double-minded; to maintain a whole, complete but not a double life. Mathematics were easy until we came to division. How sweetly and smoothly does life glide along until we begin to divide our lives—serve God and Mammon divide our character and, lead a double life. Then, trouble is ahead. . . . We are taught here to add to or subtract from a whole life but divide, never. "Add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge tem perance, patience, brotherly kindness, and charity for if these be in you and abound they shall make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Thus developing one virtue in the exercise of another; each new grace springs out of and perfects the other. Thus it become easy to subtract; to "Put off the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts and be renewed in the spirit of your minds;" and to multiply an hundred fold. . . . "The world is full of forces that tend to crumble our character and destroy our lives. If you can not be brilliant you may be good. Better mediocrity joined to integrity than genius yoked to double-dealing. Man is made in God's moral image and in moral strength is to be like Him or fail of his highest destiny. No one speaks today of Napoleon or Lord Bryon as strong men morally—a great commander, a great poet but not great men. Jesus of Nazareth set up a new standard of manhood. You go forth now from the High School in your strength and enthusiasm. Some to begin life's work in earnest, others to continue studies in other institutions. We hail you. We congratulate you. Wherever you are be students still. Study everything that will add strength and fibre to your character, dignity to your manners and honor to your Alma Mater and glory to God. Read the lives of great men and women who have done noble and heroic deeds. Be a hero your-even by being loyal to truth. It is said that Alexander slept with Homer's Illiad under his pillar. There is a better book for you. Take inspiration from all good and noble characters, but allove all take life and immortality from Him who began at Bethlehem and died at Calvary but liveth forevermore." PYTHIANS AT CHURCH Bethel A. M. E. Church was crowded to its capacity on Sunday afternoon of last week, the occasion being the annual memorial services in honor of the deceased members of the various subordinate lodges of the order of Knights of Pythias of the city. A masterful oration was delivered by Rev. Dr. C. H. Stepteau, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, and the eulogy was delivered by Mrs. Rosa J. Richardson, head of the women's department of the order. The service was one of the most inspiring in the history of the order, and religious fervor ran high at many times during the afternoon. A collection amounting to nearly $125.00 was raised in short order at the beginning of the service. Mr. George A. Watty, grand chancellor for the State of Maryland, presided. Kerr's Orchestra and Mrs. Annie Hazelton Lee furnished the musical selections. MR. JAMESA. WILLIAMS A BENEDITG The marriage of Miss Emma Francis Johnson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. C.

Miss Maud Brooks, neice of the bride, played the wedding march. Miss Alice C. Hammond, another neice was bridesmaid. She wore a dress of white crepe de chine and carried pink pansies. Mr. Charles H. Cain was best man. The bride was attired in steel silk trimmed with white shadow lace and carried white pennies.

A reception followed after which the happy couple left for their future home, 1113 Argyle avenue. APPOINTED SUPERVISING NURSE Miss Edna V. Jackson, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Jackson, 1927 Druid Hill avenue, has been honored with the position as one of the head supervising nurses in the Kansas City (Mo.) Hospital, said to be one of the finest institutions in the country. Miss Jackson is a graduate of the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, class of 1912, and is quite popular in local circles. She will leave for her new post next Tuesday. Her many friends in Baltimore and Washington wish her Godspeed and much success. Ad. STRINGER LODGE ELECTS OFFICERS The following officers were elected by Thomas W. Stringer Lodge No. 4, K. of P.

Smith New Pastor at Lincoln Temple Church Washington, June 18.—Mrs. Mabel Wormley Strudwick, who recently became the wife of Dr. W. C. Strudwick, of Durham, N. C., is in the city on a visit to her mother. Hon. J. C. Napier and wife have returned to their home in Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Napier will be in the city frequently to look after the interests of the Supreme Order of Helpers of the World, of which he is the official head. Rumor again has it that the 15th Street Presbyterian Church near the corner of 15th and 1 streets, is on the market. The business district is rapidly approaching the edifice and it is argued that the goodly sum offered for the premises should be accepted. The membership of the church is now located far up town and a site in the neighborhood of U street would be much nearer the center of the activities of the people interested in the church. The trustees refused a big offer some years ago when the hotel now known as the Bellevue was anxious to secure it for an extension. Mr. Eugene Brooks is now president of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association. Mr. Archibald Runner, of Wilmington, Del., clerk in the office of the Quartermaster-General. War Department, has been promoted from $1,000 to $1,200 per annum. Mr. Will Marion Cook is himself again. The story of his alleged critical illness was greatly exaggerated. Dr. C W. Childs, of the Board of Education, delivered the principle address Tuesday evening at the commencement exercises. of the Alexandria County (Va.) public schools. Principal W. T. Hodges presided. The annual election of officers of Bethel Literary and Historical Association will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church next Tuesday evening. As there is no candidate in the field against the present chief executive, Miss Marie A. D. Madre, who has given the organization a splendid administration, she will doubtless be elected by acclamation for her fifth term. Rev. Emory B. Smith was ordained and installed last Friday evening as pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, amid impressive ceremonies. The sermon was preached by Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York City. The committee in charge of the services was made up of Judge Robert H. Terrell, Carroll Webster and James H. Hill. Dr. Smith has just completed a theological course at Yale University. Bethel Literary and Historical Association held memorial services at its last meeting in honor of the late Amanda Smith, the veteran missionary, who died a few weeks ago in Florida. Mrs. I. N Ross, of Baltimore, was the principal speaker. Mrs. C.H. Stepteau read a tribute written by the late Bishop Theburn, of India. The choir was in charge of Mrs. Capitola Smith. Miss Marie A. D. Madre presided. PHILADELPHIA NEWS ITEMS Philadelphia, June 15. — A number of Negro orphans were guests of the Quaker City Motor Club at Willow Grove Park on Tuesday. Every thing was free to them. They had a fine time. The Young Women's Christian Association have purchased a site on the North side of Catharine street near 16th street for their new $75,000 building which will be completed in the fall. Mrs. Joseph A. Hudson is president. Rev. W. E. Griffin, pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, had the honor of D. D. conferred upon him at Lincoln University last week. At the cornerstone laying of the new Union Baptist Church on Sunday, the collection amounted to $978.75. Rev. W. G. Park is pastor. The Philadelphia Caterer's Association who have been located at 1219 Pine street, for a number of years, have moved into their new building at 1428 Lombard street. The Harriet Tubman Association held an education conference at Varick Temple on Thursday evening, June 17th when Mrs. Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Dr. J. Max-Barbur spoke on "The New Emancination." UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM EASING UP SLOWLY Baltimore's unemployment problem that has puzzled the city fathers and charitable agencies throughout the winter is easing up a bit, according to indications shown in the monthly report for May of the Federated Charities. During this one month alone permanent jobs were obtained through the society for 151 persons. Ninety-one temporary positions were also secured. The figures of the report further how that at east one out of every hundred Baltimoreans — counting the city's population in round numbers at 600,000-has been under she care of the Society during the past 3 days, 6885 individuals, to be exact. This number included 1620 families, 350 more than during the corresponding month of last year. Of this 1620 families, only 722 required relief of any material sort. The others were aided in securing hospital or sanitarium treatment, legal aid through the Legal Aid Bureau, which is a separate department of the Federated Charities' work and dental treatment. Vocational training was provided for five applicants to the Society and two school scholarships were awarded to children in order that they might complete their education and at the same time not work a hardship to their families thus deprived of money that they might be earning. A NEW CHURCH The People's Union Church, organized Monday night, May 31, 1915, is the result of a dissatisfaction among the members of St. Luke Union A. M. E. Church, Spring street near McLidderry, regarding the finance which condition I found when I became the pastor May 1913. I tried to regulate matters to the satisfaction of all but instead of getting better, they grew worse and worse; until I found there was no hope of harmony. So for the sake of peace I quietly resigned Saturday, May 22, 1915, not because I have been guilty of any wrong or have misused any of the money of the church as has been circulated. The money in question is the $208.60 from the Germania Fire Insurance Company, damages for the last fire. I received a check for the amount named and passed it to the carpenter who was with me and every dollar of it was used in repairing the St. Luke Church. Almost everything imaginable has been said to injure my reputation, but with two years record in Baltimore I feel perfectly safe. I had several good offers in other denominations, but a number of the members of St. Luke Church, who left, believing they had not been treated fairly, said they would not go back, but would get another place to worship and asked me to be their minister. After some understanding I consented and a committee was appointed to get a place to worship. They conferred with Rev. J. A. Medley of Grace A. U. M. P. Church, Spring street near Lafayette avenue, who kindly consented to let us worship with him and his people. We held our first service Sunday May 30th, at 8 p. m., with a packed house. Monday night, May 31st we organized with 130 enrolled members which is constantly growing. We extend a cordial invitation to our friends to worship with us Sunday, June 20th. Our $1. Rally Day Services all day. Lunches can be had so no one need go home. Come and enjoy a glorious time with us. Rev. C. Edw. Browne, S. T. D., pastor. Advt. REOPENING OF THE GOLDFIELD HOTEL Hundreds of persons attended the reopening of the Goldfield Hotel Thursday evening of last week. The folks came from all sections of the city and a number were from out of town. Lawson N. Duffin, the new proprietor, and "Eddie' Myers, his manager, were on hand to greet the throng. When the place was first opened by Joe Gans ten years ago "Eddie' Myers was the managing partner and it now seems fitting to his friends that he should again become actively identified with the enterprise. Among the floral designs sent were handsome pieces from George H. Siddons, Hank Henry, Mrs. Mary E. Scott and Diedemna, the florist. The first dollar was spent by James L. Hitehens and i has been framed and hung on the wall. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS MEETS THOUSANDS IN ATTENDANCE Tenth Annual Gathering of Influential National Body Has Many Notable Features—The A. F. Boy Cadets and National Baptist Band Receive Big Ovation In Street Parade. Birmingham, Ala.—Five thousand people witnessed the opening of the tenth annual session of the Sunday school congress, which was called to order in the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, this city, on Wednesday, June 8, by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., of Nashville, Teen, chairman of the congress. The formal opening took place in the afternoon, while Birmingham's welcome and cordial reception were given at night in the presence of an audience that filled to overflowing the spacious office. Never in the history of the city has the religious fervor reached such a high degree as was evidenced beginning on June 9, when the first special trains began to arrive. In the language of sonic on the streets, "the pot boiled over" today when special after special pulled in, all of which were met by cheering crowds and enthusiastic workers bedecked in the Sunday school congress uniform, white congress cap with black visor, wearing badges and carrying pennants, representing some of the organized classes or worded "Sunday School Congress." The finishing touches for the demonstration came when the Sunday school congress special arrived at the Union station. The entire local committee, known as the central committee, which is composed of the Baptist ministers' conference of Jefferson county and Greater Birmingham, with the 300 singers, making up a mammoth chorus, two brass bands and a waiting public thronged the station to greet the arrival of the congress special. Magnificent in its appearance was the personnel making up the parade which marched from the station to the church. The National A. F. boy cadets attracted the most attention. Soldierly looking in their bearing, they went through the streets to the tune of "Hall the Baptist Congress," played by the National Baptist band of Nashville, which escorted the delegation. Great is the Sunday school congress and valiant are the workers of the plan for building Front line Sunday schools was Birmingham's verdict as cumulated by the various welcomes extended in the formal opening at the church, Distinguished citizens and prominent churchmen participated in the local program which virtually turned the keys of the "Queen City" of the southland over for the five remaining days which were devoted, according to the congress secretary, Henry Allen Royd, to a school of methods, with general sessions in the forenom and departmental meetings in the afternoon. These departments are under the supervision of gib balloon controllers selected from various states in the Union. At the general sessions there were twelve topics discussed, but on some of these subjects fully 100 persons spoke. Not over ten minutes was given to any speaker to deliver his paper or speech, and not over three minutes were allowed for open discussion. The key to the congress, declare the officials, is the Bible conference, which opened every morning for one hour and a half for the careful study of the Bible by subjects and topics. Every delegate at the congress was requested to come to the conference with Bible in hand. Every Sunday school worker, old or young, big or little, man or woman, who came with a message was heard. This was the great desire of the Rev. H. R. Boyd, D. D., the director of this host that captured Birmingham. There was a Metoka and Galeola night, devoted entirely to the demonstration of the organized class effort in Sunday schools. Following this there was a boy cadet night. The taking of San Juan hill was graphically and picturesquely portrayed by the members of the A. F. boy cadets throughout the United States, representatives of which were here in the second annual encampment. Dunbar hotel was transformed into barracks. The tap of the drum and the sound of the bangle, with the steady marching feet of many boys, brought military discipline under religious influence and leadership. The literary entertainment given showed the talent that makes up the Sunday schools throughout the country. Glee clubs, quartets, singing associations, cloctoonists, able divines and musicians of note from the United States at large appeared on the program. Sunday, June 13, put the religious idea in the forefront. Model and modern Sunday school sessions were conducted in seventy-two Baptist churches throughout Birmingham by workers to take charge of these schools from the congress. The mammoth street parade had nearly 5,000 in line. The parade formed at the Sixteenth Street Baptist church and marched through the busy section of Birmingham on the north side to the congested section on the south side, where the mass meeting was held at the Sixth Avenue Baptist church. The sessions closed Monday, June 14. HAMPTON INSTITUTE ENDS SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR Large Class Receives Certificates—Dr. Frissell Sends Affectionate Letter. "Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ" (II Tim. ii, 3). This was the text from which Rev. Dr. H. B. Turner, chaplain of the Hampton (Va.) institute, preached the baccalaureate sermon to the recent graduating classes, taking as his theme the first part of the senior class motto. "Through struggle and thrift we prosper." Dr. Turner used as an illustration the life of the Apostle Paul in his great missionary work. At the annual competitive drill the company commanded by Captain W. David Owl, a Cherokee Indian, of Reddey, S. C., won the prize—a silver loving cup presented by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas V. Winston, formerly of Fort Monroe, now of Madison, Wis. The judges were Captain Jacob M. Coward, Lieutenant Adolph Gibson and Lieutenant Sidney H. Guthrie of Fort Monroe. The decision was made on neatness, military hearing, company and battalion drill. The winning company made an average of 90 per cent. This company will have the honor of being the battalion color bearers for the next school term. The junior class was presented the silver cup trophy in the spring rowing races. This class held the cup in 1914, when they were known as the "work year boys." The first and second prizes in both the mile and the quarter mile running races were won respectively by William S. Parker, tailor, of Jacksonville, Fla., and John F. Dorsey, agriculture of Dragonville, Va. The annual spring concert under the supervision of K. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music, and Miss Bessie D. Drew, teacher of singing, and the annual band concert under the leadership of Professor William M. O. Tossman, bandmaster, were, as usual, most entertaining events. Fifty-six Negroes and six Indians received their certificates in trade agriculture and business; being distributed in the three courses as follows: Forty-eight—fourty-two Negroes and six Indians—in eleven different trades, thirteen Negroes in agriculture and one Negro in business. The class day exercises consisted of addresses, class histories and class songs. In the absence of Principal Frissell, the vice principal, Dr. George P. Dhahni, presented the certificates. Dr. Dhahni also made a short address and presented the academic diplomas to a class of sixty—fifty-five Negroes and five Indian boys and girls. Dr. Phoenix read to the class the following letter, dated May 12, from Dr. Frissell: I regret very much that there is little prospect of my being with you at your graduation exercises to deliver to you your diplomas and speak to you some parting words to express my affection and good wishes. I go to the hospital this afternoon and tomorrow expect to undergo an operation which will make quiet necessary for some time. I am sure that you know how feverly I pray for your success and how strong a belief I have in you and in the service you are to render your people. Hampton expects every one of you to do his or her duty. May God bless you and keep you and cause his face to shine upon you. Dr. Phenix in his address emphasized the importance which Hampton puts upon character, rating character above scholarship. He said that every hour at Hampton, every task in the agricultural department, and every exercise in the trade school, offered students the opportunity of building strong character. The academic class day program included a salutatory address by Harriet E. Marshall, Akron, S. C.; class history, N. N. Williams, Salem, Va.; class will, Betty H. Jenkins, Warrenton, N. C.; valetiedictory, Melvin T. Wildy, Avaton, Va., and a class song written by W. Lloyd Walker, Hampton, Va. It is the custom each year for the graduating class to select some tree on the grounds as their memorial. The tree chosen this year was an elm, the tree that has played such an important part in the history of our country. At the tree exercises the address was delivered by W. David Owl, who closed his speech by saying: "Let us go forth with the spirit of Hampton dominating our characters and very beings and strive to grow more and more into the Christian manhood and womanhood that shall determine the success of our future lives as individuals and as a class." Alpine Choral and Dramatic Society. The most recent musical organization formed in Pittsburgh is known as the Alpine Choral and Dramatic society. It has over twenty-five members, nearly all students or graduates of the various high schools, colleges and conservatories of music in Pittsburgh. The society made its first public appearance at a musical given at the Bethel A. M. E. church on Thursday evening, June 17. Among its members are such well known persons of musical ability and education as Miss Jennie Patterson, Miss Helen Pryor, Miss Mary V. Turner, James Marshall, O. Wilbert Daniels and William Marshall. The musical was held under the auspices of the junior stewardesses of Bethel church. Ohio Knights of Pythias Are Active. Members of local lodges, Knights of Pythias, throughout the state of Ohio are making preparations for the meeting of the supreme lodge encampment to be held in Columbus in August. The uniform rank has already commenced drill practice, as the contest for the prize at the coming meeting will be the most exacting in every detail of any yet scheduled by the state grand lodge at an encampment.

SPORTS AND ATHLETICS By Shortsman COLORED ATHLETES SHOW UP WELL Colored athletes, especially run- ners, distinguished themselves last week at the various athetic meets held in New York state. At the annual games of the Hun- garian-American Athletic Club, held at Juniper Park, Long Island iCty, last Sunday, O. Adamson, of the famous Saleru-Crescent Athletic Club of New York City won the 100.yard dash handicap in the mar- velous time of .09 4 5 seconds, With only a half-yard handicap, this may be considered as nearly equalling the world’s record of Howard P. Drew wh» did the cea- tury lap in 9 3 5-seconds sometime ago, In this same race H. E. Fos- ter of the same club finished second with a 2 yard handicap. At Celtie Park last Sunday, where the Irish-American A. C, and the Affiliated Building Trades held their set of games, A. K. Smith of the Salem-Crescent A. C., was beaten in the final stretch cf the 600 yard run. by Joseph Bromi- | _w of the Irish-American A. C. by about a yard. Bromilow is almost an old man and. is known as the dean of competing track athletes. Smith was given a handicap of 33 yards and maiptajned the lead until the final stretch hewn Bromilow ran him down. In the 100 yard dash Morse also of the Salem-Crescents triumphed over all the other contestants win- ning in the good time of 10 1-5 seconds from a mile and a haif handicap. Ames H. Ravenell of the St. Christopher A. C. was third with a handicap of 3 yards. Harry Martin, the champion sprinter of Howard University, tunning for the Smart Set. A. C. of New York, with a two-yard handicep could not get away from John J. Eller the national champioz in the. 220 yard low hurdes and was forced into third place, Eller won fram the serateh, W. Buren, of the New York A. C. was second with a 5 yard handicap, while Martin wes forced into third place. A very few inches separated each oi the runners et the finish however. TRYING FOR PLACES IN EXPOSITION ATHLETICS The big senior championship meet to be held on Travers Island, New York, next Saturday will have the largest, gathering of athletes ever hefore known in the history of athletics. Nor will the colored athletes be without the entries. The greatest interest in the meei lies in the fact that every athlete of more than mediocre ability haz desire to compete in the national championghips in. San Francisco, and can make hiy first start toward that goal by winning in the seniors and getting a f:ee trip to the Ess- tern tryouts at Cambridge, Mass., ‘a week from Saturday. ‘The Smart Set Club have entered their best runners, as have the Selem-Creseet.ts, and before the lists close there is little doubt but that other athletes of the race will have hen entered. NOTED COLORED TRAINER Mr, Willie Buckoer, trainer of the Chicago ‘*White Sox"? which club hy the way, is at present lead- ing the Auerican League, was in Washington several days igo, with theclub. Mr. Buckner is probably the only colored man. occupying such a position in this country, He is anexceptieually capable and ‘skilled athlete.” The ‘“ferps’’ and ‘'Duffeds’’ are in a grand race for first place (beginning at the bottom) in the Gilmore circuit.
