O'Kelly, president of Kittrell College; Dr. W. A. Jones, Dr. E.E. Smith, E. E.Sams, N.C. Newbold and C. H. Bcgs.

BUCKNER MAY GIVE UP LIBERIAN POST Washington, July 2.—The report that Dr. George Buckner is going to resign as American Minister to Liberia and the visit here of Richard T. Greener gave rise to all sorts of rumors. Prof. Greener denied that he wanted either the Liberia portfolio or Roscoe C. Bruce's place as assistant superintendent of school. He is said to be desirous of landing a good consultship. Prof. Greener was consul at Vladvistok, Russia during the administrations of McKinley and Roosevelt. He has been practicing law in Chicago since. He attended the recent 50th annual reunion of his class at Phillips Exeter Academy. It will not surprise the friend of Dr. Buckner should he relinquish his post as Minister to Liberia at any time. He is now with his family at Evansville, Ind. The expected resignation has stirred colored Democrats and many are willing to visit Africa as American minister. Dr. Buckner is the only colored Democrat who has received a presidential appointment. PROMINENT COUPLE MARRY Portsmouth, Va., June 30.—Miss Hattie Douglas, one of the leading public school teachers of this place, was married to D.

C.; Dr. W. O. Carrington, Salisbury, N. C.; Mrs. J. J. Creditt, Baltimore, Md.; Prof. F.J. Holland and Miss Eunice Hamilton, Atlanta, Ga. The ceremony was performed by Dr. J. M. Armstead.

Nashville, Tenn., July 2 — Martin F. Brambaugh, governor of Pennsylvania, has been elected a member of the Board of Trustees TO HAVE SAFE AND SANE FOURTH More than a thousand colored children have been rehearsing during the past week for the parts they are to take in the Safe and Sane celebration at Druid Hill Park next Monday afternoon and evening. The children are to sing patriotic and community songs, among them "America," "The Star Spangled Banner," and such old favorites since grandmothers' times as, "How can I Leave The," "Sweet and Low," "Lovely Evening," "Love's Old Sweet Song," and "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes." They will be seated on a slope near the colored play grounds which, with semicircle of trees at the foot and an open space beyond, forms a kind of natural amphitheater. Here also colored children from the several playgrounds in the city will give costume plays, games and Fo'k dances to the accompaniment of a band of ten pieces. Firecracker boys, grasshopper girls, and tiny-toot frogs will enliven the occasion, each group with their own peculiar antics and camphols. Then the roads will be cleared for the various athletic events under the direction of Messrs. Bernard Webb and Lewellyn Wilson of the Public Athletic League, open to all comers. -fat boys, lean boys, tall boys, short boys, and all other kind of boys who can run, jump, hop, skip, or roll. At night the celebration will close with a display of fireworks, the feature of which will be a representation of Niagara Falls in fire. Seven companies of Boy Scouts with about 200 boys in uniform under Scout Master David E. Green, Benjamin Grant, William E. Davia, Charles A. Cary, Luther C. Mitchell, Charles Tolson and Dr. D. G. Mack, will be in attendance and assist in the various events. They will meet at their respective headquarters and march to Druid Hill Park. The choirs of all churches have been invited to assist in the singing. The committee in charge of the Colored Safe and Sane Fourth is: Harry T. Platt, chairman; Dr. A. J. Mitchell, secretary, and William L. Fitzgerald, treasurer. EMMET SCOTT,JR. WINSHONOR Exeter, N. H., July 1.—Emmet J.

SHARON CORNER-STONE LAID Hundreds of persons attended the cornerstone laying of Sharon Baptist Church, Streicker and Presstman streets, last Sunday afternoon. Rev. Harvey Johnson preached the sermon and Rev. W. M. Alexander presided. The property was bought from a white Methodist congregation some months ago. CONFERENCE OF S. S. WORKERS Prominent Visitors From Many Discuss Sunday School Work- "Conform to the spirit of the age and make Baltimore a heaven and the United States a holy land" was the advice given by Dr. R. C. Ransome, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, speaking at Bethel A. M. E. Church, where a conference of the Sunday school workers of the Baltimore Conference has been in session since Wednesday. His subject was "The Informer, Reformer and Transformer in Sunday School life." "Neither modern eugenics and environment will do all for men and women", he said. "Jesus Christ brought no books or theology to the world, but he did bring God in the flesh. The Sunday school teacher must be incarnated with the spirit if he would succeed in his work." After advising that the lives of persons should be reformed as to be in keeping with the trend of the times, he said that transformation of old-fashioned ideas was seen in healthy sports and in social uplift work. "No longer do we claim that scourge and disease are the handiwork of God, but we do see His hand in the work of sanitation and human betterment work. Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, told his hearers that they be of more service in Sunday school work if they used all of their gifts and faculties. The convention opened Wednesday with a sermon by Rev. P. J. Jordan, following which Mrs. Annie E Waddleton, of Washington, spoke on "Our Sunday School Union." At the evening session Elmer A. Henderson, who is presiding, outlined the scope of the meeting, W. H. J. Beckett, secretary of the Washington Y. M. C. A., urged the workers to prepare for the best service and J. R. Paul Breck, of Philadelphia, spoke upon "The Sunday School as a Training Department for the Church." Rev. A. L. Guines said that the Sunday school should be a potent influence in the shaping of character. A part of the morning session was devoted to methods in Bible study, conducted by Rev. Arthur Randall, of Towson. The exposition of methods in Sunday school work and a conference of superintendents occupied the remainder of the morning session. Those participating included: George Sumner Whyte, Howard E. Young, Miss Sarah R. Jackson, Miss Ella Brown, Miss Elna L. Waters, Miss Gertrude C. Fisher, Howard D. Brent, James M. Collins, A Sightler and Mrs. Rebecca Palmer. Rev. J. W. Sanders preached a short sermon. A Sunday school institute for the instruction of the workers was held in the afternoon, those taking part including John W. Woodnous, Mrs. E. N. Washington and Rev. P. W. Wortham. BOY SCOUTS THERE. The Boy Scouts had charge of the latter half of the program, crowding the church and rendering an inspiring program. Charles A. Cary who presided delivered an dress on "Why We Scouts United." Scout Master Benjamin Grant urged wholesome pasttimes in the churches and Scouts Wilson and Charles Handy gave an outline of plans for bringing the boys into church. Others who took part in the exercises included: Scouts Raymond Elbert, Robert Chase, Earl Cohen and Alonzo Davis. PRICE THREE CENTS At the men's meeting Revs. C. H. Stepeau and J. G. Martin were among the speakers, the latter taking for his subject: "The Hereditary Effects of the Immorality of the Father Upon the Children." Mrs. Georgia Dobson Boston delivered an address at the mother's meeting on "The Sacred Duty of Motherhood." A girl's meeting, speeches on the liquor traffic, the discussion of methods and a reception to the delegates were among the features of the day. Following a brief session this morning the delegates will go to Druid Hill Park and in the afternoon, take a trip to Brown's Grove. BUSINESS MEN'S MEETING The second of a series of public meetings under the auspices of the Colored Business Men's Exchange as held at Sharon Baptist Church on Thursday night. The meeting was called to order by Clarke L. Smith, who introduced Mr. William H. Dodd, president of the Exchange. Mr. Dodd spoke of the formation and object of the Exchange, emphasizing the importance of cooperation among business men. He also introduced a number of business men to the audience. Rev. W. M. Alexander, pastor of the church delivered an address in which he attributed the failure of some enterprises to the fact that as soon as success smiled upon some of our business and professional men, they immediately proceeded to forget those who were responsible for their success. He predicted that the time would come when there would be an insistent demand that doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers and others of the same class, who made their money from the colored people, should patronize their own enterprises. Mr. J. Harvey Williams read a paper that had been prepared by Mr. J. Logan Jenkins, who was unable to be present. METHODIST LAYMEN ATTEND BANQUET Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church presented an inspiring scene Monday night at 200 ministers, and laymen sat down to the banquet of the Methodist Man's Social Union. The tables were prettily decorated, and those set aside for representatives from each church carried special decorations. Following the serving of an appetizing menu by Catarar Julius C. Johnson, a number of addresses were delivered. George A. Owans, the master of ceremonies, urged closer fellowship among the Methodist men of the city and vicinity. Dr. Ernest Lyon read a paper advocating an autonomous relation for the colored membership of the church, and the sentiments expressed therein were endorsed by the assemblage. Rev. Charles W. Baldwin spoke on the Conference Claimants' Fund while James A. Harris, Rers. M. J. Naylor A. J. Mitchell,S. A. Virgil and George E. Curry delivered talks on questions of interest to Methodists.

St. Clair, George A. Watty, Dr. C. H. Fowler, William Cook, Clinton Johnson and others. A banquet followed. COMMENTS UPON COURT DECISION COMMENTS UPON COURT DECISION Leading White Dailies Express Varying Opinions Concerning Grandfather Clause The upsetting of the "grandfather clause" by the United States Supreme Court has brought out varying views from daily newspapers throughout the United States. The Boston Herald editorially states that the decision is the South's own fault as it failed to follow Lincoln's advice and admit educated colored men to suffrage, while the ever fair Springfield Republican professes to believe that the decision means that the white South will still solidly support the Democratic party. The New York World says that the decision establishes the United States as a republic at last, while the New York Times, in a bitter editorial intimates that the white man will rule or shoot, instancing the North Carolina riots of 1898. The Philadelphia Press says that "it is gratifying to have the Constitution upheld, and with the 'grandfather clause' annulled, made again in its entirety the supreme law of the land," in the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) adds that "the 'grandfather clause' is so obviously inconsistent with all American political ideas that it is difficult to see how ingenious lawyers could have expected it to stand the scrutiny of the Supreme Court." The Raleigh News and Observer, published by Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, professes to be alarmed at the decision and the more temperate Columbia (S. C.) State takes a clamer view and ventures the opinion that while colored people are "satisfied" not to vote, but that in a generation or so colored men will be voting and in both parties. The New Orleans Times-Picayune says that the "grandfather clause" was a makeshift, and the suffrage question will have to be dealt with by the coming Louisiana Constitutional Convention. The St. Louis Globe Democrat sheds no tears at the abrogation of the clause and mentions the fact that colored college professors in Oklahoma were excluded from voting by comparatively uneducated election officials, in what it calls an endurance rather than a literacy test. SURFERAGE QUESTION AGAIN New Orleans, La., July 1.—The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court declaring invalid the "grandfather clause" may cause a reopening of the suffrage question at the forthcoming constitutional convention. Various parishes in the State are now about to elect delegates to the convention, and the question of the right to vote may become a burning one here. Louisiana was the first state to enact "grandfather clause." Not only are the great majority of colored voters eliminated thereby, but 12,000 whites have failed to avail themselves of this provision of the law and at the same time show their illiteracy. IS NOW A FULL-FLEDGED CAPTAIN Mr. Edward Waters, who has been engaged as pilot on the Steamer Starlight for several years, has been granted a "Master's" license. Mr. Waters is now a full-fledged captain with a big "C" and would be able to carry the Starlight to Brown's Grove should anything happen to Captain Brown. Captain Waters is a native of Snow Hill, Md. SUMMER SCHOOLS BEGIN TUESDAY Opportunity to be Given Backward Children to Catch Up With Their Classes. The attention of parents is called to the exceptional opportunities offered by the summer schools. Pupils who have, through deficiencies, failed of promotion, may make up the same by attending the summer school, thereby avoiding the necessity of repeating a term of five months. The summer school therefore, means a saving in money and labor to the parent, as well as to the child. The elementary Summer School begins Tuesday, July 6th, and is held daily except Saturday and Sunday until August 27 h. There are two elementary summer school's School No. 103, Division street, near Lanvale, of which Mr. William H. Lee is principal, will hold its sessions from 8:00 a. m., to 12:00, School No. 105, Rogers avenue and Lexington street, of which Mr. H. Grafton Brown is principal, will be open from 9:00 a. m. tc 1:00 p. m. It is important that parents should send their children who desire to attend the summer school, promptly on the morning of July 6th, at which time the elementary schools will be organized. The summer school for high schoo pupils begins 9.00 a. m., Monday, June 28th. As the high school summer school covers only a term of six weeks, from June 28th to August 6th, it is important that the pupil should enroll the first day and attend regularly thereafter. The summer school, elementary and high, offers a great opportunity to our boys and girls. It is to be hoped that the parents will see to it that proper use is made of them. EIGHT GRADUATE FROM CATONSVILLE SCHOOL Grace A. M. E. Church, Catonsville, was crowded Thursday, the occasion being the annual commencement exercises of the Catonsville Public School. An interesting program was presented under the direct on of Mrs. Mamie Bruce, the principal, and her assistants. Asbury C. Rideout delivered an oration on"The Negro in America." Miss Mary C. Henson, Miss Marie H. L. Young and Herbert D. Harris gave recitations Dr. Harry S. McCard delivered a helpful address to the graduates. The invocation and benediction was by Rey. C. H. Murray. The graduates were Marie C. Henson, Georgia May Rhodes, Marie H. L. Young, Leigh A. Allen, Sclomon T. Gray, Thomas Ferdinand Noel, Asbury C. Rideout and Edward Greenville Simms. PORTABLE BATH HOUSE FOR SOUTH BALTIMORE A portable bathhouse for colored people has been erected at the intersection of Fremont, Warner and Hamburg streets.

The above poem Master Joseph Mickens tells us he composed himself. His mother and father are both out of the city and Master Mickens lives here in Baltimore with relatives. He devotes his spare moments to poem writing—and the readers of the column may read more of his productions in the near future. Master Mickens has composed one poem on himself—and we understand its a little funny. So if you want to smile keep them back until next week. Ed. ST. PAUL The editor had the pleasure of attending an entertainment given by Master Walter P. Johnson and Master Robert M. Chase of St. Paul M. E. Church, assisted by a number of young ladies of the same church, and some young men from Macedonia Baptist Church. Any church having two young men as Johnson and Chase of St. Paul should indeed feel proud of them and spare no pains to encourage their every well meaning effort. These two young men, members of the Junior League, themselves without being asked, set themselves and others to work to get up an entertainment. The main feature of the entertainment being a short play. The boys and girls did well with their parts and showed that the majority of them had studied their parts well. One of the characters disappointed in his love affairs is so affected that he is moved to tears. Master Chase had this part. The editor has known this cheerful young man for a long time out never had the opportunity of seeing his "natural" or "artificial" tears until last Monday in the play. Here Master Chase put on such a "rye," face and "let out," such "mule-like," cries that the editor began to grow a bit nervous for fear a real "mule" had been concealed behind the curtain ready to use his heels any moment. The "crying part" was soon over, however, and the editor who had grabbed his "bonnet" ready to run, felt safe once more. One thing we regret, however, such a small number of the mothers and fathers were out to encourage their children. We did not see a half dozen in attendance. The audience was made up entirely of the friends of the "actors." This criticism by no means applies to St. Paul alone but to the majority of our churches. Occasions conducted by young people are poorly attended by those somewhat older and too occasions conducted by older persons are attended by the young people. What is needed is cooperation from both sides and an appreciation by the one for the work of the other. The work of St. Paul boys in their very recent entertainment deserve commendation.. Masters John Thomas, Theodore Martin and Harry Evans, were the Macedonia assistants. THE PSALM OF A BOY Blessed is the man who showeth favor to a boy; For in his feebleness a man shall help him. I looked upon a boy and turned away, For I saw naught that was comely. I was as those of old who despise a child; Even as one who despised a son of his flesh. But O, Jehovah, thou hast opened mine eyes; Thou hast taught me to see the worth of a boy. A child needed a friend, And, behold, a boy was there to protect; A dumb animal was illused, And there stepped forth a boy to protect God's creature. He turned away and forgot the giver; But a good deed done to a boy, Is like an entry in God's great book. I sought a man and led him to a new life; I pointed him to the Father and Friend. Sin was strong upon him; The stains of sin were like scars. But thou, Jehovah, didst save him; Thou didst keep him as the shepherd keeps his flock.

BALTIMORE Phone: Wolfe 2654 M He gave Jehovah all he possessed; But his life had been wasted in sin. I sought a boy e'er sin touched his life; Even a boy as God had made him. And Jehovah built a wall around that boy; He protected him in every evil hour. Yea, and Jehovah used him as he did Samuel; He used him as he did David. In the morning nours he labored; He was about his Father's business. At even he rested; But many hands took up the work. His life was like rain upon thirsty field; It was like the sun upon the cold ground. His passing was as the coronation of a king; As the benediction of a heavenly minister. Turn their feet early to thee; Establish their goings in righteousness. Then, O Jehovah, thy Church shall prosper; Then thy kingdom shall come to this world. From the Epworth Herald.

The decision which was handed down from the Supreme Court of the United States, on June 21st, is the greatest act, politically, in far as the colored race is concerned, which has taken place since the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the country. For a short period following the close of the civil war, the Negro began to live, politically "When we lived in clover, but, when we died, we died all over." Such was the effect of that huge fraud-perpetrated upon our Democracy by the infamous "Grandfather clause." The decision recently handed down by a chief justice, a southern man, an ex-confederate soldier, a Democrat, and a Roman Catholic, is but the symbol of the resurrection of an entire race of people from political death and exile. The Supreme Court has simply given the interpretation of the Constitution, not only as it is, but as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Such was in the mind and heart of Thomas Jefferson when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. It was, evidently, in the mind of the framers of our Constitution that "slavery" was but a temporary evil; that it should pass away and that all men should be comprehended as equals in the one Republic. Even the poor Indian was not excluded from such a delightful prospect; for Thomas Jefferson, in his second inaugural, as President, in referring to the Indians, uses this striking sentence: "Endowed with the faculties and the rights of men, breathing an ardent love of liberty and independence, and occupying a country which left them no desire, but to be undisturbed." Again, in a letter to John Tyler occurs this sentence: "that one-half of our brethren who fight and pay taxes, are excluded, like Helots, from the rights of representation as if society were instituted for the soil and not for the men inhabiting it; or one-half of these could dispose of the rights and the will of the other half, without their consent." And lastly, this sentence, from the same author, with respect to black men: "And with what execration should the statesman be loaded, who, permitting one-half the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other transforms those into despots, and these into enemies, destroying the morals of the one part, and the amu patriate of the other." This resurrection of the race from the political dump whither they had been consigned by southern white men, is so much the more significant when it is re- membered, that it seemed to please Providence to encompass their deliverance and resurrection by men of the same section, and partly responsible for their burial. It was a southern Democratic combination which politically lynched us, and it was a Democratic Supreme Court which resurrected us from political death. Truly, God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. This deliverance brings new aspects, and new duties. With respect to such a separate word is necessary. THE FOURTH OF JULY THE FOURTE OF JULY There is special reason why the American Negro should patriotically observe the "Fourth of July." It is the anniversary of that great American document called the Declaration of Independence, drafted by the foremost friend of the Negro race, of that period, Thomas Jefferson. The name of Jefferson should ever be venerated among us. There are two documents with which every intelligent and patriotic colored man should be most familiar; the Declaration of independence, and that immortal response which it drew forth from the brain and pen of Benjamin Banucker. Every Negro should read and re-read Banucker's great and immortal letter to Jefferson. With the approach of the Fourth of July, a few extracts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson may not be without interest. Says Jefferson: "A man's word sense must be unusually strong if slavery does not make him at all. He who is permitted by law to have no property of his own can with difficulty conceive that property is founded on anything but force." Waiting to Edward Rutledge, on the Suppression of the Slave Trade, says: "I am accustomed to you, my dear friend, on the law of your State, for opposing the importation of slaves and for the glory you have justly acquired by endearing to prevent it forever. This abatination might have an end. And there is a superior bench reserved in heaven for those who bear it." Writing, from Paris, in 1765, to a Dr. Police, he says: "In Maryland, I do not find such a position to begin the redress of this enarmity (slavery) as in Virginia. This is the next State to which we may turn our eyes for the interesting spectacle of justice, in conflict with avarice and oppression, a conflict wherein the sacred side is gaining daily recruits, from the inflex into office of young men grown and growing up." These have sucked in the principle of liberty, as it were, with their mother's milk; and it is to them I look with anxiety to turn the fate of this question." But, Mr. Jefferson was sound on the question of human rights, because he was fundamentally sound in good moral. Mr. Jefferson, writing very affectionately to a young man, gives good and wholesome advice worthy of all young men. Let our young colored men, already in business, or who hope to enter therein, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the following: "Make these, then, your first object. Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give up the earth itself and all it contains, rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose, that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so it may appear to you. Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly. Encourage all your virtuous dispositions, and exercise them whenever an opportunity arises, being assured that they will gain strength by exercise, as a limb of the body does, and that exercise will make them habitual. From the practice of the purest virtue, you may be assured that you will derive the most sublime comforts in every moment of life, and in the moment of death. If ever you find yourself environed with difficulties and perplexing circumstances, out of which you are at a loss how to extricate yourself, do what is right, and be assured that that will extricate you the best of the worst situations. Though you can not see, when you take one step, what will be the next, yet follow truth justice, and plain dealing, and never fear their leading you out of the labyrinth, in the easiest manner possible. The knot which you thought a Gordian one, will untie itself before you." Mr. Jefferson was a friend of the black man, and let us not forget it. MARYLAND MEN MAKERS OF HISTORY. The simple name of "Dred Scott,"a Negro slave, calls to mind one of the most far reaching decisions, effecting the status of the black man, ever handed down from the Supreme bench of the United States. The ordinary vernacular of the essence of the decision was, to the effect, that "a Negro had no rights which a white man was bound to respect." The chief justice who handed down this opinion was a man of Maryland, and a devoted Roman Catholic. Another decision has just been handed down from that same bench, the chief justice being a man of Louisianna, and also an ardent Roman Catholic. We are not aware of any decision hitherto eminating from that august and solemn body fraught with so much good and benefit to the black people of the country, as the one handed down this week, invalidating on of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated upon our free institutions, namely, the "grandfather clause" in the constitutions of several of our states. Three ordinary colored men, of the ancient town of Annapolis, this state, are the "heroes" of the hour. Their names are Messis, Anderson, Brown, and Howard. The great mass of our people did not realise, and do not yet, the vital importance of the step taken by these three men. Of course, in the presence of victory we knew it all was coming though we failed to help it come. It was a splendid victory. It was a great day for the whole race; and all praise to these three men, Anderson, Brown and Howard, who have sent their names on ahead to coming generations, as black men who were patriotic and brave enough to stand on, in the way, and contend for the rights of their people, until victory came forth out of defeat. The future historian will, and must, do justice to these three men, when the story of the triumph of the Fifteenth Amendment is rehearsed. But, the important thing for the race to remember is, that this victory is the beginning, and not the end. If the southern hourboats are noted for anything in particular, it is for courses and perseverance. From this defeat they will seem set about, in some other indirect manner, to still accomplish their purpose. They are not easily compaired and this we ought to know quite well. From the present victory, it is most evident, indeed, that we can hope for full and complete justice from the courts. We should ever respect and honor the courts. But, there are some among us, who have the same thoughts, with respect to this matter, as they have with respect to the support of religion. They say, if salvation is "frag" they do not see the need of paying for it. They simply mixup things. Nobody pays for salvation. It is perfectly "free." But, the well is deep, and the bucket and chain cost something. Now, if you can get it without a bucket and chain, simply do so. The Supreme Court will properly decide our contention when it reaches that body, but without a bucket and chain it will never get there, and all the while we shall remain in exile from our rights. So, the important thing we should learn from this decision is that we must, in some orderly manner, not simply under the influence of emotion, contribute liberally our money for the bucket and chain. AN INDEPENDENT VICTORY. The decision of the Court of Appeals regarding the rights of declined voters to register their affiliation at any registration, is a distinct victory for the independent voters of Maryland. It means that the leaders of both parties at future primary elections will be a little more particular in choosing the candidates for public office. These leaders will take into consideration the thousands of voters who are more interested in good government than they are in party affiliation, knowing that they will have the right at any time to cast their votes for the best man in either of the dominant parties. The decision may also mean that thousands of voters, who are independent in their politics, but who have registered a party affiliation in order to take part in the various primary elections, will, in the future,register "declined" so as to be in a position to force the party leaders to put up the best available candidates. It is gratifying to know that this condition of affairs was brought about through the efforts of a colored man a member of that portion of the electorate who have never been given any credit in Maryland for aspiring to independence in politics. It is also amusing to notice how the identity of the colored man was lost in the mention of the case in the local Bourbons. Had it been a case of stealing a ham or a chicken, the fact that Daniel Murphy, the complainant, was a colored man, would never have been forgotten. CALLIS-%ONROE With the marriage of Miss Nellie R. Monroe, a teacher in the public schools, and Mr. James A. B. Callis, a member of the faculty of the Colored High School, a very pretty wedding was solemnized at Madison Street Presbyterian Church, Saturday, June 26, 1915 at high noon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. L. Z. Johnson. The bride was given in marriage by her cousin, Mr. T. Alexander Date. She wore a white, tailored suit of chiffon broadcloth, with a white picture hat trimmed with white plumes and carried a bouquet of bride's roses. Her attendants, Misses Bertha O. Young and Edgleaner Fessenton, wore dainty frocks of persian lace with touches of pink and blue, and large garden hats trimmed in flowers and feathered pompona. They carried bouquets of carnations. Prof. P, D. G. Pennington was best man. The ushers were: Mr. Fearless Williams, Dr. E.V. Stokes, Mr. John Hampton, Prof. G. D. McDaniels and Dr. Roscoe DeWitt Price. The bride and groom left immediately after the ceremony for Achate City. They will return Sunday, July 4, 1915, to receive their friends at their home, 2113 Druid Hill avenue. 1000 FABRIC 1000 FABRIC 1004.11.10.1004.11.10. Mr. Robert J. Lockhart and Miss Jamie N.

Richmond, the groom's best man and John M. Johnson witnessed the ceremony. After the usual congratulations the bride and groom left on the poem train for New York and Philadelphia where they spent their long-term, after which they went to Lockhart, Va., where they will reside for the present. The bride was dressed in a neat gray travelling suit with hat to match. ```markdown ``` Miss Laura Mason and Mr. William Coleman were the principals in a pretty wedding at St. Marvin's Chapel, Orchard street on Tuesday at high noon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. George, Griffiths, pastor of the church. The bride was given in marriage by her brother-in-law, Mr. Ralph Cook. There were no attendants. Following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Coleman left for a short honeymoon, after which they will go to their home in Germantown, Pa. Both of the contracting parties are members of well known, Baltimore families. Mr. Coleman is at present engaged as a teacher of Manual Training in one of the public schools in Philadelphia. BROWN-SMITH Miss Sarah Smith and Mr. George Brown were the principals in a very pretty wedding at St. Francis Catholic Church on Tuesday. Father Denis, rector of the parish, performed the ceremony. FRISRY-RUSSELL Allen A. M. E. Church was the scene of a pretty wedding Wednesday night, the contracting parties being Miss Annie Elizabeth Russell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hezekiah Russell, and Herbert M. Frisby, a teacher in the public schools. The bridesmaids were Misses Mamie Nixon, Ella Hayes and Mary Russell. Arnett Frisby, brother of the groom, was best man. The ushers were Messrs. Marcellus Walker, Winfield Bishop, John Cotten and Louis Russell. They will be "at home" at 1806 Druid H.ll avenue this Sunday afternoon. CELEBRATE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY There was quite a pretty gathering at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Gray, 1418 Harford avenue, Tuesday evening, June 22, it being the 15th anniversary of their marriage. The guests of honor were Mrs. M. A. N. Shaw, of Boston, nee Miss Jessie Johnson, and Miss Bernice Sanders, an honor graduate of Wilberforce University. After an evening spent in music the guests were ushered into dining room to refreshments. Among those present were: Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Sanders, Mr. and Mrs. J. Willis Brown, Mrs Marcelin Goddard, Mrs. Mattie Braxton, Miss Belle Hall, Miss Lillian Matthews, Mr. and Mrs. George Sumner Whyte, Mrs. Mary Young, Mrs. Mary D. Matthews, Mrs. Estelle Tilghman, Miss Viola Jones. In one of the greatest exhibitions of hard hitting baseball ever seen in Philadelphia, the Lincoln Giants, premier colored baseballists, defeated the Clifton Heights team of the Delaware County, at the Victrix Field Wednesday afternoon by the score of 17-3. The Giants piled up twenty-six hits for a total of thirty-eight bases off the big-three of the Cliftons, Harvey Teal, Bob Scott and Ned Murray. Boles and Lloyd, of the Giants, led their team with four hits each, three of the former's being doubles. Brick McInnins, and Brown starred at the bat for the Clifton's with three hits each. Bricks' assortment consisted of a triple, double and single. Clifton used fifteen players including Catcher Paul Krichell, the former Newark International and St. Louis American League Star, and outfielder Dutch Hoffman of the Richmond International League. The Lincoln were counted for only one error while their opponents were marked up for four. The 12th Street Y. M. C. A. baseball team defeated the Lake and Athletic Club of Lukeland, Md., Tuesday by a score of 15-3. Bernie Brown of the "Y's" held the Maryland's entirely at his mercy during the game, striking out eight men and allowing only three hits. The Y. M. C. A. boys played the strong Union Station Red Caps on the grounds of the Colored Department League. The Princess Anna baseball team returned home Tuesday after taking two games, one from Easton 8-2, and the other from Salisbury 5-4. Sam McVay, the big colored heavyweight, earned the decision over Sam Langford, the Boston "taribaby," at the end of their twelve-round bout before the AFL A, A, of Boston last Tuesday evening. Both men fought a shading bout for heavyweights and the decision was received with bows in the majority of the final thought than the "taribaby" should at hand have been given a draw. McVay used his fettchook to a decided advantage, and nearly had both of Langforce, optics, out of commission at the end of the bout, while he put his left "lump" out of joint in the early part of the bout. Two old-time fighters, one of whom particularly fought the stars of years ago hooked up in a special show before the Broadway A. C. of New York Wednesday night. Kentuck Rosebud who many years ago knocked out the famous George Dixon, and John Henry Johnson, who has had a number of years of ring experience were the principals. The two "vets" gave a good exhibition of the hit-and-getaway game, and came out with honors about even before the big crowd that packed the house. What is to be known as the second annual Dual Meet and Field Day will be held Monday, July 5, under the auspices of the Athletic Association of the Third Regiment Boys Brigade at Govans, Md. The meet will include all kinds of athletic events from a baseball game to fireworks. After a baseballgame at 10 a.m. athletic track events will be held for juniors under 95 lbs and under 125 lbs including the fifty-yard dash, 440 yard relay and standing broad jump for the former, with a similar dash, and running broad jump, 880 yard relay, and 8 lb shot put for the latter. The senior events will include 100 yard dash, 440 yard run, 880 yard run, one mile relay, running broad jump, and 12 lb. shot put. Other amusements will be a full dress parade at 6 p. m., and fireworks at 7 o'clock. Entrance fee will be five cents for each man for each event, and should be sent to H. C. Langley at athletic headquarters, 2217 Druid Hill avenue today. In order to reach the grounds rooters should take Govanstown car and get off at Woodbourne avenue. The Macedonia Boy Scouts will take an active part in the proceedings. By their finer performance at the Eastern tryouts held at the Harvard Stadium in Cambridge, last Saturday, Harry Martin of the Smart Set A. C., and Irvin T. Howe, of Colby College will be given a free passage to the Panama Exposition games. They compete in short dashes and hurdles. Without going to his limit Martin won the 120 yard high hurdles in the good time of 16 seconds, and placed third in the 220 yard low hurdle. After being forced into second place by the national Champion Alvin T. Meyer in the century dash, Howe, of Colby College, won the 220 yard dash in 22 1-5 seconds, with Meyer out of the running on account of having to catch a train. Roy F. Morse of the Salem Crescent managed to take second in the 220 yard dash but did not make a place in the 100 yard event, which he came within an inch of winning a week ago. A. M. Bowzer, of Syracuse University the only representative of that school entered, took third in the 440 yard run. The Smart Set Club totaled nine points during the games while Howe piled up eight points for Colby College. PYTHIANS PREPARING With the session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Maryland only two weeks off, rival factions are grooming candidates for the various positions within the gift of the Grand Lodge. The session, which will be held in Hagerstown July 19, 20 and 21, will not be as strenuous, probably, as the one held in Salisbury last year, but according to the wives' s, a lively session is in prospect. As in last session, much interest is being manifested in the atempt that will most likely be made to change the personnel of the officers. George W. J. Mecklen, a local attorney, who has been vice counselor of the order for a number of years, will be a candidate to succeed the present grand chancellor. George A. Watty, who has held the position for the past eight years. Although Mr. Watty has said that he would not be a candidate for another term, there seems to be an instant demand that he be to undergo the lists. Those who favor Mr. Watty's recollection claim that those who are opposed to him have nothing against his record other than that he has held the chancellor seven years. They claim that he has unilished service to the or der during his term of office last year, more than any other three, responsible for the present good condition of the order. Mr. Mecklen, however, is not without his friends, who are assisting him continued promotion. Mester J. Edward Smith and George T. Moore are rival candidates for the position of vice grand chancellor, and as both are rewarded as a promotion man, it is generally predicted that the fight will be a close one. Dr. Charles H. Powler will have as his opponent, Dr. Harry F. Brown, for grand medical examiner. Dr. Brown came within five votes of being elected last year, and his friends are predicting a clean sweep for him at Hagerstown, claiming that as Dr. Fowler has held the office continuously for the past sixteen years, he should be willing to step down in favor of another man. The prospective fights will no doubt draw a large crowd of Pythians to the session. The absence of the late Rev. Storer S. Jolley from the convention will be generally regretted. Rev. Jolley was regarded as the floor leader of the organization forces. His mantle will probably fall upon W. C. McCard, the grand attorney of the order. 68TH ANNUAL SESSION OF GOOD SAMARITANS The Maryland State Grand Council of the I. O. of Good Samaritans met in their 68th annual session at Grand Army Hall with Brother William R. Giles acting grand chief, of Garfield, D. C., presiding.

A. workebs on June 22, at Bethel A. M. E. Church has created much interest among the colored citizens of Baltimore. The visits of Dr. J. E. Moorland, R. P. Hamlin, H. W. Porter and W. H. Porter and W. H. J. Beckett, have proved valuable in arousing interest, and with their assistance the men have been inspired to action. The workers have made personal visits to many subscribers. A large number have paid in full during the ten days many have made a sacrilege to pay in part, while a large number have in the date of their payment. Y. M. C.

The certificates were presented by Miss M. Edythe Cooper. PASTOR KNIGHT HONORED The fundamental principle of religion which is love and of which we feel proud to say exists between this pastor and his congregation, thereby proving to be the secret of their success was publicly demonstrated on Thursday evening, June 24, in Gillis Memorial Church, Stockton street, near Baltimore, when the members of said church tendered their pastor, Rev. B. H. Knight, a cordial reception. The entry of Rev. and Mrs. B. H. Knight into the uniquely decorated auditorium escorted by the officiary and the visiting ministers. The invocation by Rev. G. W. Fowler, the cordial welcome address by Madam Elona Brown, the addresses of eloquence by Revs. P. J. Jordan, R. B. Mohr, the carefully selected renditions by the choir, the solo of inspiration by Mr. Deaverby Henry of Ebenezer Church the unveiling by Mr. Elona McGowan, followed by an emotional and enthusiastic presentation of the loving cup by Mr. Charles Warren and the touching response by the pastor just halfway concluded the features of this occasion; for a continuance of the same was noticed when the guests retired to the reception table where toasts were given by Revs. S. A. Virgil, J. O. Custis, Hezekiah Brown, W. H. Bradley. Rev. E. W. Scott, was toastmaster. At the conclusion of this service the climax of appreciation and love for their pastor was thought to have been reached but not so, for, as a further token of their estimation in which they reverence him, purse on behalf of the members was presented him by Madam Eliza Brown Sunday evening, June 27, pledging their cooperation. Mrs. Eliza Brown, chairman;Mr. T. H. McGowan, accompanist. Mrs. Julia A. Wood, of New York, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Mazzie Lane.

Banville, Va.—I suppose you will say that I am the most getting aroundest man in the country, and I hardly know what to think about it myself, but I am going some, and enjoy it to the highest. Old age does not make any change in my getting around and this you will-readily understand, and while I am writing this letter from Danville, Va., Saturday night, I will be in Baltimore and away from there before you can read the letter, because I will have been there July 1, and July 4th will be with Dr. A. L. Murray in Jersey City, N. J. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health last week. I was in Bristol, Va., and when I left there I found my way to this place, and I am right here now, but will be away in a few days. I will have to tell you about it. While in Bristol, Virginia-Tennessee I met many people, and they tried to see how great a time they could give me and I accepted it with all my heart and mind and soul. I was the guest of Rev. W. L. Sanders and his wife and two sons. He is pastor of the M. E. Church and is erecting a fine temple for the people. This young man has gone right into the hearts of the people. He is a Clark University man and well trained. During my stay in Bristol, I had the pleasure of shaking hand wish the Rev. Dr. C. H. Johnson, pastor of the leading Baptist Church in this section of the city, and then I met Mr. Clark who is some worker in the B. Y. P. U. and the cause of temperance. Mr. Clay is at the head of a big business here and is the leading spirit in the National Negro Business Legues. He is at present the head of the League and is getting ready to go to Boston next month. Speaking of the Business League they are going to have a big meeting and there will be many people present. Mr. Emmett J. Scott is as busy as can be, and no time in the history of the National League will they have a program to equal the one now in question. It will pay you to hear it. There is just a cheap rate on any how to Boston this time in the year, and you should get your money together and go. The press gang will meet there this year, and I will not be there myself, but I will be represented. But then coming back. Bright and early Tuesday morning, I got myself together and left for New York. I have been invited, to Marion, and sent the preacher word that I would pass through here en route to another part of the world. I looked for him when I passed through Marion, Va, but he was not there. I was some disappointment, but your woman got on the go going to Petersburg, and said "This is Col. J. O. Midnight?" I assured, her that it was the right pumpkin, and she gave me a letter from the preacher expressing regrets that he would not meet me, but would look for me on the 7th of July to speak for his people. I will be there, and if you want me to have a letter there, send it to Marion, Va, care Rev. Wade. Now about the young lady who brought to me the note. I exchanged a few words with her and found that she was one of the Marion teachers and was on her way to Petersburg to take on just a little more education. She was Miss Frances Cooley. I rode with her to Lynchburg, and then bade her goodbye. We had to stay in Roanoke about one hour, and it was used in seeing some people. I had a fine time. Well, I had to make a change in Lynchburg and spent one hour or perhaps three hours in making the change. Rev. R. L. Wynn, who has a fine automobile, tomed me around in it. He is editor of the Opportunity, a weekly paper published there and he is going some. It is a rare thing that you find an editor with one of them things that goes without horses. On to Washington, where I made a quick change, got me a bed car, went to bed, and was soon in New York. I went there to attend to some business and to see Dr. J. W. Rankin hold the meeting of his board. That is to say Bishop C. S. Smith, presided and associated with him was Bishop John Hurat. These two strong men made some good speeches, and gave some timely advice and warning. It will pay us to sit up and take notice. Bishop his side is Bishop Hurst: Dr. Rankin has been doing some good work during the past year. I want to here congratulate the A. M. E. Church for electing him to the high position. He is just fitted by nature for the position, and I hope he will never get the bishop bee in his head, but continue during his active life to render service in the missionary department of his church. I would never favor making him a bishop. There was a full board present, except Mrs. Mary F. Handy, of Baltimore, and Mrs. Laura L. Turner, of Atlanta. Both-of-them sent letters regretting that they could not be present. You see Mrs. Turner has but recently lost her husband and I do not know what to say about Mrs. Handy, but there was something which prevented her from being present. These two women are great workers in the cause of missions in their church. I was busy in New York and had the pleasure of meeting that great writer N. B. Dodson, and I went to the office of a modern newspaper, The New York Age. Editor Fred Moore, was as busy as could be putting brains on paper for the people, and then he had writers all around him. He has a real newspaper office. I felt like singing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." I just held my peace and looked. I met the managing editor, the city editor, the editorial writer—in fact the whole cheese. He has a well fitted office, and I hope to say more another time. After meeting and taking supper with Mrs. Iola Crampton, the young clerk, and calling on Mr. and Mrs. Bert Williams, I got my little feet together and went down to the stable got in my bed car and left at 12:30 that night for Reidsville, N. C., where I had the pleasures of attending a Sunday School convention. Two nights in that place, and today finds me here in Danville, Va., and while I am here may not say much about it. That was some Sunday School convention, believe me. I had the pleasure of hearing some good Sunday School talks during the convention, and meeting some big men. Miss Eugenia Carter, who is a teacher in the D. D. and B. School, is one of the best teachers in the country. She has been doing some good work. But she is now in bad health, and is improving. She will soon be herself again. She has a sister, Miss Alma J. Carter who is also a good teacher. It would take me several hours to tell you about all the people I met. Rev. E. E. Ricks rode down as far as Lynchburg with me. He was on his way to his new charge, Roanoke, Va., and then there was Rev. W. H. Jernagin, who met me at the stable as I passed through Washington. I shall save the rest for another time. CECILTON HAPPENINGS. Cecilton, Md., July 1.—Mr. Charles Wilson, is having his house remodeled. Union Becer Charter Miss Christian Siscoe, of Philadelphia, has moved here. Mr. Wesley Harris, an old resident died Tuesday of last week. The funeral was held Friday afternoon in Union Bethel Church.

Salem Athletic Club Wins Big Victory. The Salem Crescent Athletic club won a signal victory over the Pastime Athletic club in a match relay on Monday, June 21, at the annual summer games of the "athletic nursery" at Glencoe Oval, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street and Second avenue, New York. The colored boys were returned victors by fifteen yards in an eight lap relay. Verwayen, first man to run for the Salem Crescent combination, opened up a lead of about five yards on Kloer, but on the second relay the Salem lead was increased to more than thirty yards, Oscar Hawkins opposing C. J. Shay, who filled in for Matt Sika. Miles McHugh, running against Arthur Gorham, made up a good part of the ground, but Herman Foster was a match for Dan Shea of the Pastimes and retained the big advantage handed him by Gorham. The victors journeyed the eight laps in the good time of 2 minutes 30.3-5 seconds. The sixteenth annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Chicago from Aug. 24 to 26 inclusive. The local committee of arrangements, headed by Dr. U. G. Dailley, is making extensive preparations for entertaining the members of the association. The usual number of papers, embracing every phase of medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy, will be given a prominent place on the program, as in former years, but the outstanding feature of this convention will be the large number of clinics which will be held during the session. Chicago has unusual facilities for clinical demonstrations of all kinds, and the local committee has been alive to the opportunities that may be seized for the benefit of visiting doctors. The larger portion of the surgical clinics will be held at Cook County hospital, which has been recently completed. Other's will be held at the St. Luke's hospital and Provident hospital. Arrangements have also been made for special clinics covering diseases of the eye, ear, nose, throat, children's diseases and women's diseases. Men who are located in the more remote sections of the country will witness here operations and demonstrations that they have seldom if ever been permitted to witness before, and the local committee and the officers of the association are particularly anxious that the rural general practitioner shall avail himself of the opportunity to be present at Chicago for these wonderful demonstrations of medical, surgical and dental research and progress. The headquarters of the local committee will be in the Y. M. C. A. building, and some of the sessions will be held there. There will, as usual, be public meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and the session will close on Thursday evening, Aug. 26, with a banquet. Some of the more prominent men connected with the association will perform many difficult and rare operations, and the association as a whole will be invited to clinics conducted by Murphy, Schraeder and Ochsner. These men stand at the forefront of surgical progress, and to be able to witness operations performed by them and to observe the technique that they have perfected will be of invaluable assistance to every one who visits these clinics. Special rates will prevail on all the roads entering Chicago. Many from all sections of the country have already indicated their intention of being present. Those who are unacquainted with the city and expect to be there should communicate with the chairman of the local committee, Dr. U. G. Dailley, 5 East Thirty-sixth place, Chicago. PROMOTER OF BUSINESS. Charles H. Moore Begins Work of Visiting and Organizing Leagues. On Wednesday, June 16, Professor Charles H. Moore, formerly organizer of the National Negro Business league, began an itinerary through Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, in the interest of the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business league, to be held in Boston, Aug. 18, 19 and 20, inclusive. It is Professor Moore's purpose to meet local Negro business leagues in all of the important cities in the states here mentioned and otherwise to devote himself to propaganda work in the interest of the league until the August meeting. It is earnestly hoped that he may have the co-operation of the officers and members of local leagues in the states to be visited by him. Leagues desiring visits from Professor Moore are asked to communicate at once with Dr. Booker T. Washington, president, or Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Howard Smith Performs Noble Deed. Howard Smith of Camden, N. J., at the risk of his own life, recently dived overboard and saved the life of a horse by releasing the animal from a wagon to which it was attached. Smith is employed by Charles L. Adkins, a contracting teamster of 434 Division street, Camden. He went to the Spruce street wharf with a dump cart, which was backed to the water's edge, and before he could block the wheel of the vehicle it went overboard, taking the horse with it. Losing no time, Smith dived overboard and finally released the traces, and horse and master arose to the surface. Smith managed to climb back on the wharf, while the horse foundered about on the surface of the water, and after some difficulty the animal was landed on the wharf. Thus again a member of our race in New Jersey performs a noble deed. Needs of the Wilberforce University. As an institution of higher learning for our people Wilberforce university, in Ohio, is living up to the ideals of its founders and supporters. The progress of the school under the leadership of Dr. William S. Scarborough the past few years has been wonderful. The institution is in need of an endowment of at least $300,000. This amount is not large in comparison to the amount 62 endowment held by some of the great institutions of learning in our country. No doubt the trustees, with the president, will bend their energies in this direction during the vacation period this year. --- What's the use of having Good Water to drink if you don't have Sanitary Drinking Cups In the Lodge Room, the Church, the Dance Hall and other Public Places You use the common drinking cups that are used by everyone else.

JOHNSON HEADS BAPTIST HOST MEETING WELD IN NEW YORK Mount Olivet's Minister and Congregation Give Great Missionary Body a Royal Time at Its Forty-first Annual Gathering—Big Sum Raised For Education and Missions. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—The New England Baptist missionary convention has passed another milestone in its long and eventful history. This convention was organized with six churches in the Congdon Street Baptist church, Providence, B. I. The forty-first annual meeting of this flourishing religious body was held in this city at the Mount Olivet Baptist church from Tuesday, June 15, to Monday, June 21, inclusive. The territory of the convention extends from Washington to Maine and includes in its membership the churches, Sunday schools, women's auxiliaries and young people's unions of the denomination, with an aggregate membership of 284,516. The first two days and a half were devoted to the Sunday school and young people's convention and the women's auxiliary convention to the main body. The period devoted to the church convention proper covered five W. BISHOP JOHNSON, LL. D. days. The session opened on Thursday afternoon, June 17, with the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D. of Washington presiding. After the devotional exercises and the appointment of the committee on enrollment of delegates and the committee on nomination of officers for the ensuing year Dr. Johnson delivered his annual address, in which he reviewed the work of the year and made several very practical recommendations for the future welfare of the convention. Following President Johnson's annual message addresses of welcome were delivered by Borough President Marcus M. Marks, on behalf of the city, for the interdenominational ministers' conference; the Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, minister of the St. Mark's M. E. church, for the Baptist ministers' conference; the Rev. J. Ernest Robinson, minister of the First Baptist church at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y., and on behalf of the Mount Olive Baptist church Dr. David C. Moon, secretary of the board of trustees. The response to the addresses of welcome was made by the Rev. William A. Taylor, D. D., of Washington. Among the presidents of schools within the territory of the convention who made brief addresses noting the progress made the past year were Dr. George Rike Hovey of the Virginia Union university; R. C. Wood, A. M. of the Virginia seminary and college; the Rev. Dr. John C. Love, promoter of the proposed Northern Baptist college; Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs of the National Training School For Women and Girls; Dr. W. A. Credit of the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial school and others. The following named ministers were appointed to preach special sermons: Annual sermon, the Rev. W. T. Watkins, D. D.; doctrinal sermon, the Rev. Dr. W. W. Brown; missionary sermon, the Rev. Timothy White. The work of foreign missions was ably represented by the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the National Baptist foreign board, with headquarters at 624 South Eighteenth street, Philadelphia. The report of the board of managers read by the corresponding secretary, Dr. W. A. Harrod, showed that the work of the convention was well organized and that the various standing committees were active. The reports of the committees of state conventions, corresponding bodies, home missions, education, publication, church edifice, widows' fund and ministers' relief fund were also read. Funds for all these objects are provided for by the convention under the management of the various boards. A new committee known as the steering committee also made its report. The success of the convention under the enlarged plan has been very encouraging. The sessions were largely attended morning, afternoon and evening by both delegates and visitors. That the New England Baptist missionary convention is rapidly meeting the needs of the churches in its territory was made evident by the growth in membership, finance and church property shown by figures in the president's annual address. The opinion prevails that the organization in the future will not only receive reports from the individual churches within its bounds, but will become the receiving body to which state conventions and other large bodies in the northern and New England states will report their work. In fact, the New England convention will be the clearing house for northern Baptists, including the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. With the idea of the northern Baptist university in view, having the endorsement of most of the ministers and leading laymen of the churches, the convention has created a new field for its educational interests. The Rev. John C. Love of Montclair, N. J., is chairman of the convention's education board and as such has done a commendable work. A fund for the proposed institution is being raised and a board of trustees elected. Another advance step taken at the New York meeting was the election of a layman to the board of managers of the convention and one on the trustee board for the proposed northern Baptist university. The sessions were harmonious, and a spirit of co-operation pervaded the action of the delegates. The receipts were over $2,100, being the largest amount raised at any annual meeting in the history of the convention. The Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes, minister of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, and its congregation deserve great credit for the splendid business way in which they provided for the delegates and visitors. The convention closed in a blaze of glory on Monday night, June 21, with a fine literary program and reception to the delegates and visitors provided by the entertaining church. The Rev. W. B. Reed, minister at the Mount Olivet church, Newport, R. L. presided. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D., Washington; vice president, Rev. W. P. Hayes, D. D., New York; corresponding secretary, Rev. W. A. Harred, Ph. D., Hartford, Conn.; recording secretary, Rev. T. J. King, D. D., New York; treasurer, Rev. R. D. Wynn, D. D., Jersey City, N. J. The convention will hold its next baptist church, North Philadelphia, Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson minister, on Thursday before the third Sunday in June, 1916. INFLUENCE OF J. C. EDWARDS. Arranges Contest For Free Trip to the Virginia Exposition. The Atlantic City Review, one of the largest and most influential daily papers of Atlantic City, N. J., through the earnest efforts of J. C. Edwards, the Atlantic City correspondent of the National Negro Press association, started a contest, giving three free trips to the Richmond exposition, with all expenses paid, to the minister, schoolteacher and any nonprofessional prominent person polling the highest number of votes in their respective classes by July 5. The Rev. Mr. Martin of the Asbury church, 3713 Arctic avenue, Atlantic City; the Rev. Mr. Clark of the Presbyterian church, the Rev. Mr. Hebron of the Mount Nebo Baptist church, Miss Lea Carey and Miss Alice Fowler, public schoolteachers of the Indiana school; Miss Mae Hall of the New Jersey Avenue school, Mrs. Alberta Douglass of the Douglass hotel, and Mr. Harry Jackson, president of the Armstrong Athletic and Social club of Atlantic City, were the leading contestants up to June 26. New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are listed as one exhibit and will hold as their day at the exposition July 14, at which time they will have a military and fraternal parade and an athletic high school meet and prize drill. The Atlantic City exhibit at the Richmond exposition will be a space of 100 feet arranged to represent the famous boardwalk during the month of August. The chairman of the local commissioners personally appeared before the city commissioners of the resort while in session, and they donated for the use of this feature the city's flags, bunting and decorations, also $100 for traveling expenses, etc. A forty foot boardwalk, with railing and electric lights is being arranged, and among the places on the gray wood-en way will be the public school exhibit, a post card stand, salt water taffy stand, soft drink and ornamental stand.

Many diseases are handed down to individuals from parent to parent, while again, through lack of training and knowledge, we acquire the germs of disease at first hand, and the process of destruction of the fine-tissues of the body is begun, ending in misery and death. If you suffer from any wasting weakness—if you have any skin or blood disease. pain in Jones, rest spots, sore throat and mouth, painful swellings, kidney and bladder complaints, inflammation, scaldings, stricture, gravel, organic weakness, weak back, varicose, lost vitality, impaired memory, swollen parts, discharges, or any disease resulting from indiscretions or overwork—it matters not how long standing—he not discouraged because you have consulted other physicians and received no benefit.
