--- VOL. XXIII. NO. 46 NEGRO METHODISTS PLAN TO UNITE Prominent Delagates Lend their Influence to what Many Prove Ultimate Union Methodist HARMOMY THE KEYNOTE A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion And M. E. Churches Meet Together Cincinnati, O., July 8. —A general plan of cooperation among various colored Methodist bodies, looking ultimately to the organic union of all, was agreed upon at a conference held here last Wednesday. The way for this was first paved in February, 1908, when bishop and ministers of the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and Colored M. E. Churches met in Washington to consider plans for concerted and mutual action along some lines. A similar conference was held in Mobile, Ala., in 1912. The question of amalgamation between the M. E. Church South and the M. E. Church and the rise of a strong sentiment for autonomy among the 300,000 colored members of the latter church resulted in the M. E. Church appointing a commission to confer with similar ones from the other three denominations. The meeting here was a pleasant one, each church, through its representatives, striving to agree on a plan of mutual effort. The representatives of each denomination met separately Tuesday to formulate a scheme of action. As each side suggested some scheme of action, the general body separated while each group discussed it and when they again met together there was hardly a ripple of objection. The chairman of each delegation presided in turn and four secretaries were elected. The plans adopted included the urging of the adoption of a common hymnal, the same standard for entrance to the ministry; the standardization of the schools of the various denominations, united action for home and foreign missions and the development of foreign missions. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United States Bureau of Education, and W. T. B. Williams, of the Slater and Jeanes' Funds, appeared before the commissioners in behalf of the proposal of the standardization of the work of schools and colleges. The commissioners, which represented 1,700,000 colored Methodists follow: African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bishops B. L. Lee, chairman, Wilberforce, Ohio; Levi J. Coppin, Philadelphia, Pa; and John Hurst, Baltimore, Md. Ministers, A. J. Carey, D. D., Chicago, Ill.; V. M. Townsend, D. D., presiding elder, Little Rock Ark.; Rev. G. W.

McKissack, business man and financier, Holly Springs, Miss., and L. J. Price, merchant, Atlanta, Ga. BUSINESS LEAGUE ORGANIZER IN THE CITY Charles H. Moore, of Greensboro, N. C., was in the city Tuesday and Wednesday looking up local business and professional men. He attended the meeting of the Colored Business Men's Exchange. He had a talk with Attorney C. C. Fitzgerald Wednesday, who told him of the good work that the Patapsco Business League is doing. That night he visited the meeting of the Annapolis Negro Business League. As organizer of the National Negro Business League, Professor Moore is visiting leagues in various cities in order to stimulate interest in the coming session of that body at Botons. "I find conditions in Baltimore," he told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, "unlike those in smaller cities. In smaller cities the business and professional men cooperate. In Roanoke, Va., I found very gratifying evidences of this. Baltimore is like Washington in that the professional and business men do not cooperate. From wat has been told me here, the professional men seem to think themselves of a superior clay than the business men. I am sorry for this. There ought to be a strong business league here and it ought to be affiliated with the national body." When asked what effect the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court nullifying the "grandfather clause" would have on the colored men of North Carolina, he said: "The 'grandfather cause' expired in my State some time ago. All men who can meet the educational and other tests have been allowed to vote. SOME MORE NEWSPAPERS? Philadelphia, July 8.—A $100,000 concern to publish race papers in five different cities has been organized, according to a report in last Friday's Public Ledger. The venture was incorporated under the laws of Delaware last January, the report states. Dr. Albert Boyer is named as president and W. W. Rourke as managing editor. Rourke's name and the scheme bears marked similarity to the one called the Alabama Press. A 16-page newspaper was issued one time and the interest of the investing public sought in Baltimore and other cities in the scheme, which, according to its promoter, was to publish 16-page race papers simuliitaneously in a number of cities. A retinue of editors were engaged for the first venture, and R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, was to be given a substantial salary as sociological editor. The first venture did not palm out successfully, as the first Mr. Rourke fell into the clutches of the law, it is claimed. LEDGER BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1915 SAFE AND SANE FOURTH OF JULY Plays, Festival-Boy Scouts Draw Large Crowds To Druid Hill Park on Independence Day More than 10,000 persons—parents, big brothers and sisters, children and tots—crowded in and around the colored playground at Druid Hill Park last Monday to witness the first colored Safe and Sane Fourth of July celebration The affair was such a huge success that a meeting will be held either next Monday or Tuesday evening to decide whether or not it is to be repeated each year. The day was a holiday and many of the children taking part in the festivities were accompanied by their parents. A play festival was given under the direction of the Children's Playground Association, and Mrs. Adelaide Green, director of the colored playground at the park, was in charge. She was assisted by Miss Mary E. Gross. Over 300 children took part in this feature. The festival represented the Court of Play, in which the Spirit of Play, accompanied by the Spirit of Peace and the Spirit of Patriotism leads the flowers, the birds and the children to her court, where she is enthroned. Then the flowers appear drooping on the green until the Spirit of Play comes and moves them, and, led by her, dance and scatter rose leaves in her path. The Spirit of Play leaves, but returns later with the birds and they all dance. The children assembled, all inspired by the dance join in and light-heartedly trip the fanatistic toe in rythmic style. The festival ended with the singing by a chorus of 1,000 voices of such stirring tunes of "Sweet and Low," "Drink to Me Only With Thine Lyes," "How Can I Leave Thee," "The Star-Spangled Banner," and "America." The older folks joined in the singing. The athletic events reflected much credit upon the management of Messrs, Bernard Webb and Lwlwell Wilson. James E. Fessenton had charge of the Sunday school children and Mr. Henry J. Browne looked after a large number of the pupils of the East street school. John Daniels, of the Social Service Commission, William S. Manning, general superintendent of parks, and Charles R. J. Jones, superintendent of Druid Hill Park, lent valuable assistance in looking after the comfort of the visitors. The Boy Scouts, to the number of 200, preserved order and kept the crowds in check. The committee in charge of the festival follows: Harry T. Pratt, chairman; Rev. A. J. Mitchell, secretary; William L. Fitzgerald, treasurer; Llewellyn Wilson, Bernard Webb, Solomon Decoursey Rev. P. C. Neal and Charles A. Cary. COLLEGE TRUSTEES MEET Jacksonville, Fla., July 8.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the board of trustees of Edward Waters College Tuesday Rev. John A. Gregg was reelected president. Rev. D. C. L. Fisher was again elected dean of the theological department. The only changes in the faculty were caused by the resignations of Coleman Lawrence, the commandant, and Prof. F. F. Bowler, of the English department. Their places were taken by William Parker, a graduate of Hampton Institute, and John H. Sims, an alumnus of the University of Kansas. The latter is a nephew of the wife of Rev. D. G. Hill, o Baltimore. Bishop John Hurst presided at the meeting. GREEN MENTIONED FOR RECORDER BrooksHolds on At White House Bruce to asks Indefinite Leave Curtis Preforms Operation Washington, July 7.—Hon. J. C. Napier, spent a few days in the city last week, enroute to his home in Nashville, after attending a meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board in New York. Prof. Leslie P. Hill, principal of the Institute for Colored Youth at Cheney, Pa., and Prof. William R. Valentine, principal of the State Industrial Institute at Bordentown, N. J., were in the city this week. Misses Helen Pritchard and Nettie Walker, two charming young schoolmarms of Indianapolis, Ind., have been spending the week here, on their way to Hampton Institute and Buckroe Beach, for a season of rest and recuperation. Tuesday evening they were entertained at reception given by Miss Alice Mae Hershaw, of 215 13th street, and on Thursday evening they were the guests of honor at another reception given by Miss Vivian Lucile Thompson, of 1223 S street. Among the guests at the banquet given by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Freeman last Friday evening at their home, 1833 14th street, in honor of Prof. Charles H. Moore, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, were Rev. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of the Varick Memorial Church, Philadelphia; Rev. W. H. Jerangia, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, this city; Mrs. Julia P. H. Coleman, Miss Jeannette Carter, Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Thompson, Mr. Richard Ware. The negotiations for the purchase of the Washington Sun by Lawyer L. Melendez King in behalf of the Order of Malachites, have fallen through and Mrs. Julia P. H. Coleman remains at the helm as the responsible editor and manager, the property being carried in the name of The Washington Sun Publishing Company. Jieut. Colonel Arthur Brooks is custodian of the White House, continuing to hold the position under the present administration on account of his recognized merit and tried reliability. He has charge of all of the household goods of the executive mansion and is under a bond of $10,000 for the faithful discharge of his duties. Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, has issued a neat card, bearing the portraits of the thirty-nine Bishops the connection has had since its organization in 1816. The Washington friends of Prof. Richard T.Green are of the opinion that he would make an entirely acceptable Recorder of Deeds. He is one of the District's "old citizens," and is thoroughly in touch with local conditions and local needs. Rumor has it that Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce has filed an application for an indefinite leave of absence. Metropolitan A. M. E Church is to undergo repairs that will involve an expenditure of several thousand dollars. Among other things the roof is to be made waterproof, an electric lighting system is to be installed, the heating plant is to be improved and the interior is to be redecorated. Rev. C. H. Stepteau is the pastor. One of the most pleasing diversions of the miscummer season will be the appearance Saturday evening July 10, of the Tuskegee Institute Singers, who are announced PRICE THREE CENTS for the Metropolitan Church in a choice repertoire of plantation melodies, Negro folk-songs and dialect readings. Little Elizabeth Neill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Neill of 906 T street, won the first prize at the "Better Babies Contest," held recently under the auspices of the Washington Diet Kitchen Association. The bright little girl stood 99 points, leading by far all of the colored babies entered for inspection. The prize was presented by Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson. Prof. Amphias H. Glenn recently underwent a successful operation for appendicitis, Dr. A. M. Curtis being the operating surgeon. Prof. Glenn is a teacher of history in the M street High School and is secretary of the board of examiners for the colored public schools. BISHOPS' SLEEP DISTURBED Ousted From Pullman And Forced To Ride In "Jim Crow" Coach Asheville, N.C., July 8.—Bishop George W. Clinton and Rev. George C. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion, were slumbering peacefully in a Pullman sleeping car of the Southern Railroad Monday night of last week, when they were rudely awakened by some chivalric whites of North Carolina and told that a Pullman coach was no place for a "nigger" to ride. They were ejected and made to ride all night in a "Jim Crow" coach. It seems that someone, presumably employees on the train, had told the Tar Heels that they had to ride in day coaches while the two colored divines occupied sleepers. That angered them and forthwith to the Pullman they went. Their molesting of the two colored passengers was not resented by the conductor and other train employees, as would have been done had they been white. After they had taken seats in the "Jim Crow" coach the Pullman conductor came back and offered to refund their money. This they indignantly refuse. They were enroute to Cincinnati to attend the gathering of representatives of various bodies. It is propable that they will enter suit against the railroad and the Pullman Company. FOR GREATER DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY Philadelphia, July 8. The semi-annual session of the Sub-committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Feilows will be held at the national headquarters of the order, 12th and Spruce streets, next week, beginning Monday. Besides making a general review of conditions within the order, looking after complaints in some of the jurisdictions and granting charters and dispensations, it is probable that plans will be considered for bringing the order forward to a greater degree of influence. The members of the present Subcommittee of Management are: Edward H. Morris, Chicago, grand master; Julius C. Johnson, Baltimore, deputy grand master; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, grand secretary; W. David Brown, New York, grand treasurer; Edward P. Jones, Vicksburg, Miss.; J. H. Johnson, Salisbury, N. C.; George H. Mays, Jacksonville, Fla., and Dr. I. L. Roberts, Boston, grand directors. T. J. Green, of South Carolina; W. H. Mixon, Alabama, and J. H. Miller, New Jersey, are the grand auditors. Colonel Giles B. Jackson heads the Procession to the Grounds On Opening Day MAYOR WELCOMES VISITORS Exhibits Of Hampton, Atlanta, Shaw Especially Attractive Richmond, Va. July 9.—Just fifty years ago last April defeated and crestfallen Confederate soldiers filled the city. The forces of the Union had triumphed and the cornerstone of slavery had fallen and the Negro had suddenly been transformed into a freedman. Just a month ago, nearing the brink of the grave, thousands of Confederate returned for a reunion after fifty years. They beheld progress on every side and nowhere was it better shown than in the homes and business enterprises of the race that they had fought to keep enslaved. On Monday the first exposition ever held in the South among colored people opened at the State Fair grounds, and the exhibit typified the wonderful progress that the race has made since Emancipation. The exposition was made possible by an appropriation of $55,000 from Congress and smaller ones from the State of Virginia and the city of Richmond. It is being held under the auspices of the Virginia Historical and Industrial Association, in which Col. Giles B. Jackson is the leading spirit. A big street parade, starting at Second and Leigh streets, marked the beginning of the opening of the big show, Monday. Colonel Jackson led the procession, and as it wended its way through the streets to the Fair Grounds hundreds fell into line. Reaching the grounds, the parade encircled the grounds, passed through the Midway at the Southern doors of the Administration Building. In the absence of Governor Sturat, who is on his way to the California Exposition, Mayor Ainslie delivered the welcoming address. The Mayor praised the race for its achievements and Mr. Jackson for the great energy displayed. Colonel Jackson was given an ovation as he arose to speak, during which he epitomized the progress made by the race and said that the Negro had made great progress during the past half century. The invocation was given by Rev. S. P. Drew of Washington. The exhibits come from all parts of the South, as well as other selections of the country. Many schools and colleges are represented, yet it has been freely commented upon that Tuskegee has no exhibit. The school exhibits include those from Atlanta University, Shaw University, the Vochees Industrial School, the public schools of Baltimore, the public schools of Raleigh, N. C.; Hampton Institute, two carloads of exhibits from New York State, which gave $7,000 toward the exposition; a workig model of the latest type of locomotive made by Joseph Hall, of Portsmouth, Va., and a creditable exhibit by the Hagerstown (Md.) public schools. Benjamin Smith, supervisor of colored schools in Washington county, Md., has charge of the Maryland exhibit, which includes arts and craft. Director General Jackson expressed himself as being highly pleased with a telegram of congratulation from Bishop Samuel Fallows, one of the leading spirits in the Illinois --- SPORTS & ATHLETICS MUNIGIPAL GAMES AT HOWARD Keen competition was furnished in the municipal Independence day field games for colored men held yesterday on Howard University campus.

RASERALL BRIEFS The Eastern Shore Baseball Leagues composed of the clubs at Cambridge, Crisfield, Pocomoke, Salisbury, Easton and Princess Anne have just about rounded out three weeks of good playing. Each team has at least two stars who are worthy to play or any professional club. With a few exceptions all towns are succeeding with good crowds attending all of the games. The standing of the clubs up to July 5, is as follows: Cambridge, Crisfield, Pocomoke, Princess Anne, Salisbury and Easton. The averages of the individual players will be given in the near future. The clubs have about forty-three more games to play. On the Fifth there was an interesting game played by the Cecilton Giants and the Oliyer Hill Wonders at Cecilton, Md., resulting in a score of 7-3 in favor of the Giants. Mr. Howard Groom is the manager of the Giants and is prepared to talk business with any first class team. --- In a close and interesting game last Monday the Crisfield Giants, of Crisfield, Md., defeated the strong Pocomoke Baseball Club, at Crisfield by a score of 43. The Crisfield Giants have played 13 games thus far this season, and have only lost two. Any team who thinks they can handle the bat are invited to write to Hezekiah Brittingham, of Crisfield, Md. The Catonsville Social Giants defeated the Afro-American Order of Owls baseball club, of Baltimore on the Fourth by a score of 14-2. The game was one-side but interesting, however. TO BOLD BIG BOAT RACE Sharp St. Mem. Church's progressive Sunday School superintendent in the person of Mr. Milton Dorsey will have what is to be known as the first novelty Boat Race at Brown's Grove on the 14th of this month.

There were 167 boys entered in the games and 157 took part in the 25 events that were run, and were awarded 72 prizes. Messrs.

THE BOY'S COLUMN Charles Cary, Editor Mr. Joseph Kelso and Alphonso Green hiked on July 4th over a twenty-mile stretch, making one stop to camp. The route was via Gardenville, Overlea, Rossville, Rosedale, Orangeville and Baltimore. On Monday July 5th troops of scouts from Waters, First Baptist, John Wesley, Macedonia under the various scout masters joined the white scouts in their play in Patterson Park. They had been invited to spend the whole day at the park, but left early owing to the assembly at Druid Hill Park. At 12 o'clock they marched homeward to reassemble at 3 and march to the Safe and Sane Celebration at Druid Hill Park. --- At its meeting on July 1st the executive council passed the regulation that no boy under eighteen years of age may belong to the council. Mr. Ernest W. Mills of John Wesley troop was made a member at this meeting. Mr. Charles Cary, president of the executive council began the afternoon by taking picture of the whole body of scouts. Following the parade the real work of the day began. The scouts directed the people to their places for the program, kept clear the course for the runners during the games, and at night kept everyone out of the danger of the fireworks. The scouts moreover were instrumental in finding several lost children and returning them to their parents. Scout Master Luther Mitchell was the water man. Where ever Mitchell was there ice water was also, for his official water pouch was kept well filled. If any was wanted for first aid just call for Scout Mitchell and the ice water was there too. Like others he was always on the job. Drill Master Rufus Pinkney was the real man of the hour, he was in everything from a drill to a first aid stunt, and seemed to be every where at once. All you had to do was "look" and you'd see him "coming." And the same might be said of Scout Masters Wm. E. Davis, Edward Green, Tolson and Ollie Green. Waters had excellent meeting on Friday, July 2. The boys enjoyed thoroly the first aid work. Stout Louis Holly jumped in the rages. He captured a prize too. The Negro—W. E. Burghardt DuBois, Ph. D., No. 91 of the Home University Library, Henry Holt and Co. 1915, New York Price 50 cents. From the earliest migrations into Africa from Asia down to the 15th century, African civilization represented in the Babylonians, Egyptians, Yorubas and other peoples was abreast and sometimes in advance of that in Europe. Africa's decline began with the slave trade which despoiled her to the point of degeneracy. For four hundred years slave ships of the Portuguese, Dutch and English devastated a continent with war and expatriated one hundred millions, only one fifth of whom reached the auction block, the others finding death in rebellion or from hardships. This Dr. DuBois calls "the rape of Ethiopa." While Luther preached, Raphael painted and Milton wrote, Ethiopa four hundred years stretched forth her hands unto God. The plan of Dr. DuBois book is extremely simple. He divides Africa into five sections geographically, and brings the history of each section down to the present. This is the first half of the volume. The second half, save one chapter, devotes itself to the Negro in the New World, beginning with the arrival of the first slaves and concluding with forecast of the future. This one chapter, connecting the accounts of the Negro in the Old and New Worlds is the "Trade in Men," the best chapter in the book. After the cant and hypocrisy of many years Dr. Dubois' history points the new way. As a race the Negro is ancient of ancients, a fallen hero not a swaddling infant. Historically he is not a peculiar people but typically and interestingly human. The Report of the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund contains not only the recomendations of the Educational Committee for appropriation of $69,250 to fifty-two schools in the South for industrial purposes for 1914 15 in amounts varying from $150 to $9000; it contains also the reports from these schools as to value of school property, teachers, salaries, students, subjects taught. --- The Maryland Association for Prevention and Kiefel of Tuberculosis in "Some Statements of fact" published in May 1915, states that Negro Tuberculosis is the most serious phase of Maryland's tuberculosis problem, because (1) most cases are not discovered until in an advanced and dangerous state; (2) insanitary housing and schools increase the difficulty of controlling the disease, and (3) the state has failed to provide adequate sanitoria and hospital accommodation for the treatment of Negro tuberculosis. The State Wide Tuberculosis Committee appointed by the Governor is expected to bring definite proposals for alleviation before the next legislature. Morals and Manners among Negro Americans. Atlanta University Publication No. 18. Price 75 cents—Atlanta University Press. What is the condition of colored Americans in regard to good manners, sound morals, cleanliness, home life, provision of wholesome amusement for young people, and what is the church doing along these lines? This is the form of a questionnaire to which four hundred replies are recorded in the latest Atlanta University publication. Naturally these answers coming from many races and all conditions are varied, conflicting and contradictory, and a generalization based upon them difficult. The conclusion is stated, however, that the morals, sexual and others of Negro Americans compare favorably with those of European peasantry, and of some classes are the best in the nation. Further, the church with its ban on dancing and popular amusements has remained behind the age, and is no longer the chief social center among Negroes. The severe eriticism of the failure of the church and the absence of a single definite ideal indicate the formative period thru which the race is passing and is the best evidence of progress.

Church in the Baltimore District met at the Bethel Church June 30th to July 4th. All of the machinery for the handling of the many delegates was in operation, and the session was a pronounced success. Prominent speakers of the denomination discussed questions of better organization and improved methods of teaching within the Sunday School, and the larger efficiency of the work as it touches the organizations of which it is the parent, the Boy Scout and the Campfire Girl movements. The Adult Bible classes aim to interest older men and women, and the Cradle Roll to register infants not yet one year old. How great a progress does such a convention represent from the humble beginnings of Sunday School work. Catherine Ferguson, exslave it was, whose anguish at parting with her mother taught her to sympathize with all desolate children, and these became the care of her life. Sundays she was in the habit of collecting the children in her neighborhood, white and black, at her humble dwelling on Warren street, to be instructed in things religious by herself. Dr. Martin, pastor of the Murray Street Church recognized the value of what "Katy" was doing and invited her to make use of the basement of his church. From this we date the first Sunday School. In every Sunday School in America we should have a Catherine Ferguson Class in memory of a noble woman, who died sixty-one years ago to morrow, having given the best of her seventy-five years in the founding of great work. A SANE FOURTH The Safe and Sane Celebration at Druid Hill Park on Monday last was well planned, splendidly carried out, and most of all thoroly enjoyed by the thousands who attended. It represents nevertheless a type of segregation very like the separation of races in the public schools, or in the churches. In Cincinnati, Ohio, the colored people realizing that their children attend more largely and more satisfactorily in their own schools have petitioned the city for a new colored high school. In Louisville, Kentucky, the assistant Librarian reports increased interest and efficiency among the people since the establishment of a colored branch nine years ago. Her report states: "Those of another race cannot know our wants, our habits, our likes and dislikes as we do." There appears to have grown up to kinds of segregation, one that the colored people themselves seek because it means greater freedom better feeling and opportunity to develop individuality; and the other that arouses invariably a feeling of protest, since it means one-class accommodations on railways and steamboats, dirty and undesirable sections of a city for colored residences and cheap moving picture theaters. We hate separation instinctively, for accepting it in any form makes it easily a subject for legislation in all forms. It cannot be expected that we live apart and get think together. Nevertheless it is agreed that the recent celebration was immensely worthwhile. There are too other things of a like nature that we want and should have no hesitation in asking for. If the matter is properly presented the city would be glad to equip a swimming pool for boys in Druid Hill Park or somewhere easily accessible to the large number of playground children. An appropriation from the city aided by contributions for citizens could start and make permanent an annual summer camp for boys and girls. No one who has seen the large number of vacationless children needs be told how much of a necessity a camp and a swimming pool are. "GOD WAS OUTDOORS" "God was outdoors anyway," said the youngster, who was being scolded for playing in the fields instead of keeping on his way to Sunday school and learning the lesson to be drawn from Absalom's disobedience. With the cool green grass and the attractive shade luring from the hot assembly room, the youngster was probably better off for his truancy. From the woods and fields, the mountains and the sea, from nature, man got his first conception of another power than his own. When nature smiled, he conceived the good spirit that wished to make him happy, when she was angry and showed herself in storms and drouths, he began to think of the evil spirit that opposes the good. The realization of the hidden forces at work within the universe, of God himself, and with his realization the reverence of the things unseen, of our fellow man, and of the things below us, come nowhere so sharply and so incontestably as in communion with nature. It is not meant that all children shall be truanted on Sunday afternoons and wander into the parks or out into the country. Both places give inspiration that the children need. It remains to change the hour of the Sunday School. Just as many churches are finding it advisable to hold only a morning service leaving afternoon and evening free, so the meeting of the Sunday School might be changed to the hour before or immediately after the morning session of the church. "The Groves were God's first temples." For the boy, recapitulating he life of the race, God was in reality outdoors. DEATH CALLS MRS. LINDSAY Mrs. Emily Lindsay, of Ozeana, P. O.

Chester, Pa.-Last Wednesday was the most getting married day I have ever heard of in my life; and it would take up a whole paper for me to tell you about the people who married last week. It seems that the people just wanted to get married, and they got married, and some of them will live together until death, and some will live together until before death, but I wish them all well. I was in Reidsville when I wrote my last letter, or had left there and gone to Danville, and I spent a Sunday in Danville, Va., and it was some Sunday too. Getting through there I left early for Petersburg, Va. I went there to see the teachers take on more education to give to the children. At the head of this Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute is to be found Prof. John Manuel Gandy, A. M. and associated with him are to be found many other good teachers. I will not take time to tell you all I saw at the school but I have been there and have had a nice time, and now I am away and ready to turn to other things. I left that place and found my way to Norfolk and went right on to the Hotel Mt. Vernon and found a cordial welcome for me there. L. M. Bright and his wife were down to Little Bay, and Rev. Richard Bowling, had gone to Lynchburg to get his wife and he married on that Wednesday that I have in view, Rev. Dr. Barco, married on the same date, and I have in mind another bride and groom I will talk about later. The night was spent in Norfolk, and bright and early the next morning, I was up and headed for Hampton. Without doubt this is one of the greatest institutions in the world, and if it has not done any more for civilization than to give to the world Dr. Booker T. Washington, then it should have the highest place in history. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, and then our Emmett J. Scott, and many other things for the race. But here is the foundation. Connected with the Hampton is one of the greatest men of our race, although there is but little said about him, Major R.R. Moton, but the whole world will some day know that he has lived. He is not making any fuss but is doing his work well. Next to him is Capt. Washington. Major Moton is the man. I did not get to see him, for he was away, but I was given the highest consideration during my stay there, and I met students or teachers there from every direction and they certainly did greet me. They made me feel like I was some pumpkins. This institution has stood the test for years, and it is still giving to the world, men and women of thought, and those who come from the institution with a diploma are prepared to do their work. It is a school of system, of methods, and helpful to those who attend. Only one day was spent jin Hampton, and I left that night on the City of Baltimore of the Chesapeake Steamship Company for Baltimore. I got on the boat, and I never saw people waste so much rice. I thought of what they are saying about hard times and how them people were throwing away rice. But it was a bride and groom getting on. They had taken advantage of that Wednesday and J. E. Holiday had claimed Miss Louise Edwards and they were going to Baltimore to spend their honey maiden moon. They were received by Mrs. Annie Gross and Miss Margaret George, stewardesses. On the boat I found that there was already on board another bride and groom, and they were attended by friends. This was Dr. H. A. Whyte, of Washington, Pa., and he had claimed the hand of one of the leading teachers of Virginia, Miss Hattie Douglass. An account was published last week. It was nice to see so many married people on that boat. I was there myself, but of course I was not to do anything but look on. I was introduced to Mrs. J. Creditt, of Baltimore, who is a business woman, a woman who has made good in her line of business and trade. She has gone down to be with the bride in that sad hour of getting married. She had some experience in getting married herself, and was in position to say something to this young woman who was entering it. Then the next was Isaac Sharpe of Philadelphia, a man of wealth and influence. I am saying all this to tell you that them people decide to have a wedding dinner on the boat an invited me to eat with them. I knew something about eating and did not refuse. Headwaiter Thomas Burnett, and the steward of the boat, selected one of the best waiters they had on the boat, but I do not recall his name, but I do know that George Tucker is the steward of the boat and he knows his business. Much credit is due these folks. I don't know as I have ever had such a dinner on a boat since I have been in the world. But the bride got sea sick and had to leave, but believe me the groom carried her to her room and returned and finished his duty to the tab e. It was a nice ride, and soon I was in Baltimore, still with that bride and groom, and the groom looked as happy as a Junebug and his bride as happy as a lark. They went to the home of Mrs. Creditt on Druid Hill avenue. She knows something about the human head or hair, feet and hands and, is doing a great big work. She has a nice place. It seemed that the word spread that "Col. Midnight is in town," and the people were looking at me from every direction. I spent a few minutes in the Sunday school convention presided over by Dr. D. G. Hill, and it was some convention. I want to here congratulate Mrs. A. E. Waddleton, for the work she is doing among the children. She is some worker believe me. At the convention I met Rev. A. L. Gaines, and Dr. I. N. Ross, but did not get to do much talking to either of them, nor Dr. Norris. The convention has passed into history, and I do not need to say anything about it, because it was covered by the city editor. Now you will have to listen to me while I tell you I have been going some in Baltimore. I found Editor Murphy out of town, but the business was going on in the office just the same. Arnett Murphy and D. H. Murphy, are just bound to break things or make things go. John Murphy, Jr., is to be found on hand as well as George Murphy on mailing day. The force is full and they are doing things. I went to a number of business places, and I shall not pay my respects to the Druid Hand and Steam Laundry this week but will tell you more about Baltimore next week. I went to the Metropolitan M. E. Church where the women were holding their missionary meeting. Mrs. Mary F. Handy was visiting them. She is indeed a wonderful woman. Mrs. Holmes made me welcome to the church. These women are doing a great big work. I was introduced but was bashful, being invited to talk before so many well trained and educated women, the wives and daughters and mothers and sisters of the men. Talked with Mrs. Lucy D. Loving and I shall tell you about her later. Dr. Gaines gave me an order to Mrs. Moore and she served me some dinner. It is one of the best eating houses in town and they know how to cook. She made me a whole pitcher of lemonade for myself. When the paper had been sent to press, Foreman D. H. Murphy invited me to go out in the street with him and he showed me some few things. He tomed me down to the Steamer Starlight, the boat owned and operated by Captain Brown. He is a full tiedged boat man, and I tell you that boat moved for him just like it would for a white man. He was on deck. I am going to make a trip on the boat and will tell you about it next week. Now then we met a number of people on the boat, but as I shall deal with that question in my next letter, will beg you to pardon me from doing so now. I am going to tell you about some chicken killing and picking in my next letter and about some of the other business people of Baltimore. Get ready to see what I have seen and hear what I have heard. I do not want to make my letter too long. The people are doing more in Baltimore than the world knows anything bout A letter will reach me at 501 Charles street, Savannah, Ga. QUAABER BOTTOM ITEMS Quaker Bottom, Md., July 8. Stevensons Lodge, No. 52 of Masons had their annual sermon preached to them by Rev. B. C. Bundick, on June 27. It was largely attended. Mt. Joy A. M. E. Church, Woman's Day exercises under the auspices of Mrs. L. Bundick were the best held in the church for many years. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER Armstead Walker's Death Baffles Police and Populace Richmond, Va., July 9.—Each day the mystery deepens in the case of the killing of Armstead Walker by his son Russell Walker 19 days ago. Despite the fact the accused man and his mother, Mrs. Maggie Walker, assert that the fatal shooting was due to the fact that the son mistook his father for a burglar, the belief is prevalent in some quarters that the killing was due to design on the part of young Walker. The preliminary hearing will be held in Police Court next Wednesday, and detectives are working in the meanwhile on the theory that the elder Walker was deliberately murdered. Walker is at liberty on $2,500 bail, furnished by his mother. The coroner's jury returned a compromise verdict last Friday, which failed to show the cause for the killing: "We the jury," the verdict reads, "sworn to inquire, when, how and by what means the said Armstead Walker came to his death, upon their oath do say that he came to his death on the 20th day of June, 1915, from the effects of a pistol wound inflicted on the 20th day of June, 1915, by his son, Russel Walker, but from the evidence before them they are unable to determine whether the shooting was done knowingly and maliciously or was due to the son's mistaking his father for a burglar." CONFLICTING TESTIMONY Conflicting testimony was given at the coroner's hearing. Mrs. Maggie Walker, who is a leading spirit in the St. Luke's Order, stuck to her contention that her son mistook her husband for a robber and denied rumors that the son had said that he would "fix" his father. Beverly Turner, however, gave plausibility to the murder theory by stating that the son had asked for the pistol in the name of his father, that he (Turner) took the pistol to the Walker home, at 110 E. Leigh street, and the shooting took place with the same pistol two minutes after the pistol had been delivered. This was commented upon as showing some alleged discrepancies in the statement made by young Walker. While there were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, a number of colored people in the neighborhood claim that bad blood existed between father and son, and the son resented being told that he would have to go to work. It is said that they have secured counsel to help in working out the theory that the death was deliberately planned. Meanwhile, all Richmond awaits the outcome. MANY VISITORS AT SEA ISLE. N. J. Sea Isle. N. J., July 7.—This little haven for those seeking a brief respite from work during the summer presented a gala appearance from Friday to Tuesday, hundreds of persons coming to enjoy the brief holiday period. The mecca of the race was the Ocean Hoase, a modern hostelry with accommodations for 100 guests and situated right on the boardwalk. The spacious and well-appointed dining room directly overlooks the ocean, thus adding zest to the meal as one sniffs the salt air. An orchestra enlivens things, smartly-gowned women and well groomed men, all with evident air of refinement and education, tend to make the surroundings desirable from the standpoint of the particular. An automobile run under the patronage of the Providence Medical Association and the North Jersey Medical Society brought a number of physicians and their wives. A reception was tendered them last Saturday night and a grand hop took place at the Ocean House Monday night. The visitors were lavish in their praise of the fittings of the Ocean house, which is said to be one of the best on the Atlantic Ocean run by colored people. M. D.

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. If you ever stopped to think you would realize just how unhealthy it is. The mouth-that sensitive organ-should be protected by the use of SANITARY DRINKING CUPS Keep the germs out of your mouth. Don't put your lips on the cup that everybody uses, the cup that has been allowed to stand and collect all the dust and dirt in the room—that is often the common drinking vessel for every living thing in the room—flies, ants, misquitoes, candle bugs, roaches, mice, etc. Let your motto be A Cleancup with every drink. 629 N.
