That the colored farmers of Pulaski county have diversified their crops can clearly be seen in cities, towns and villages, as well as by going through the country, is the report of H. C. Ray, county demonstration agent for the United States Department of Agriculture. His report follows: "This accounts for the low price which the Negroes are getting in return from their farm produce. The market is flooded with food products, and this condition is especially true of Pulaski county. "C. C. Watson. State agent for the United States Department of Agriculture, and other government officials are interested in the farmers' co-operative demonstration work among the colored people and are responsible in a large measure for the vast amount of foodstuffs grown by the colored farmers this year. It can be said with a great deal of assurance that they are awakening, and are beginning to realize and appreciate the importance of the work which is being conducted by Mr. Watson. "The colored farmers in Gray township have organized a Progressive Farming Club, and have already bought material for building a dipping vat and intend to have the vat completed by August 1. This same club has also bought a complete canning outfit, which will be used by many families to preserve farm products that cannot be sold at once. This fact leads one to believe that the colored people are coming together and getting down to business on their farms." TO REPRESENT ARKANSAS AT CHIGAGO EXPOSITION Little Rock, Ark., July 21.

The first business session was held Tuesdav afternoon, when the various officers made their annual reports. The report of the Grand Chancellor George A. Watty, covered every phase of the work during the year. It showed that the order was in a better condition financially and numerically, than at any time in the history of the order. "Notwithstanding the financial depression," said Mr. Watty, "due to the most terrible conflict in modern history, we have every right to be thankful for the wonderful progress that has been made by the order during the past year. We have felt the stringency, of course, but nevertheless we have been able to meet every obligation that has been imposed upon us. The report was regarded as one of the best that has ever been presented to the Grand Lodge. The report of Josiah L. Diggs, grand keeper of Records and Seal showed that there were over three thousand members of the order throughout the State and that their aggregate wealth totaled nearly fifty thousand dollars. It also showed that over three thousand dollars had been paid out during the year for the care of the sick, the burial of the dead and charitable purposes. Mr. Diggs reported total receipts of the grand lodge of four thousand dollars and a balance of over two thousand dollars. Dr. Charles H. Fowler, medical examiner, in his report, urged the use of plenty of fresh air and avered that number of sick in the lodges were at many times unnecessarily large, due to the use of ill ventilated lodge and sleeping rooms.

SUB-COMMITTE HEARS CHARGES Philadelphia, July 21.—The Subcommittee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows had a busy semi-annual session here last week, disposing of a large amount of business. A good deal of time was taken up with charges coming against members in several jurisdictions. Ira T. Bryant, who was suspended as district grand master of Tennessee by the executive committee for alleged "conduct unbecoming an Odd Fellow," was ordered restored to his old position. His case will be tried at the meeting of the Subcommittee next January. Benjamin J. Davis and Henry Lincoln Johnson were on hand to answer charges filed by their Georgia compatriots. Both gentleman were not in the belligerent mood that they have hitherto been in, meekness seeming to possess their souls. Davis had a number of charges preferred against him by A. Graves and R. E. Pharrow, both of Atlanta, as well as by others. The charges included usurpation of power, investing funds in the Odd Fellows' Farm in Georgia contrary to law and in keeping A. Graves out of the Order. Graves was expelled from the Order five years ago, but the Sub-committee ordered his reinstatement at its meeting in January. He had not been reinstated, however, as those at the helm in Georgia decreed that he must be examined by a physician. His reinstatement was ordered without conditions. Other allegations against Mr. Davis went over until the meeting next September. Graves also filed charges against Johnson, which were not finally adjudicated. The Georgia cases kept the Sub-committee in session all night Friday, and when the body adjourned Saturday afternoon it was a tired lot. A number of dispensations were granted to new bodies, one going to a new Household of Ruth in Maryland. While no booms for office at the next B. M.

WANTS PAY FOR 17 YEARS Argenta, Ark., July 22. — Edward Harris, aged 55, estimates that he will live 17 years more and has sued for wages for that time at nine dollars a week. He was injured while in the employ of the Buckeye Cotton Oil Mill in March, 1914.. The company agreed to pay him $9 a week until he was able to resume work, he says. The payment of the $9 a week stopped long enough ago that a debt of $468 has accrued, according to his reckoning, and he has filed suit in the Polaski Circuit Court against the company to obtain this amount. But Mr. Harris did not stop at that. He or his attorneys has estimated that he will live 17 years longer and ask $7,956, which would accrue in 17 years at the rate of $9 a week. He claims that a contract reduced to writing to pay him each week until his death if he never be able to resume work is in the hands of officers of the oil mill and the suit asks that they be compelled to produce the instrument in court. Meets Many Prominent People And Attends The Grand Session Of The. Knights Of Pythias Jacksonville; Fla.—I have heard some people say that some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them, and I have never realized what that meant until I attended the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Georgia, and met the Grand Chancellor, and saw him preside over a meeting. The grand lodge is so well established in the state that it just can carry on itself, and I have met some strong men there in this place, and it will take me a long time to tell you some of the things I have seen and some of the men I have met. I am sure you are willing to listen and wait and let me do the talking, and when I am thru then you can say that I have had a few things to say. I had reached Savannah when I wrote to you last but I failed to say to you that I had the pleasure of meeting a bright young woman in Atlantic, Ga., Miss Daisy E. Jackson, who is a shorthand writer and I am told that she is one of the best in the country. I do know that she is an intelligent young woman, and this is because she comes from an intelligent family. Miss Jackson, is from Mobile, Ala. she finished the school there and then her sister had her go to Spelman where she got on the finishing touch, also the shorthand business. Miss Jackson, has held a good position ever since she left the school, and all because she knows how to do her work well. She was kind enough to let me see her write, and see her use one of them writing machines. Now coming to Savannah. I was there all day last Sunday and was in the charge of a house, because Dr. and Mrs. Singleton were out of town, and I stayed at their home. Dr. H. R. Butler, grand master of the Georgia Masons is one of the prominent figures, then comes Prof. V. B. Matthews, principal of the Louisville, (Ky.) high school; Prof. John Wesley Gilbert, of Payne College, Augusta; Dr. Ewdin J. Turner, Columbus; Prof. Spencer, if the same town, and principal of the high school; Dr. G. N. Stoney, of Augusta; Rev. W. D. Johnson,ains, Ga.; Rev. I.G. Glass, D. D., nomasville, Ga. The genius of the organization is Mrs. R. L. Barnes, the head of the Calanthe. She is a leader of women, a woman of thought, yet not an educated woman, so far as the book learning goes, but she is a graduate from the practical school of experience. She came out of school with common sense, and for at reason she is a leader of women. She was placed at the head of the order when there were only five living courts, and they have $50 now and a membership of $50,000 or something like that. The collections for 12 months amounted to $66,449.58, expended $28,859 69, and reported a balance of $38, 79.23. Savannah is a business place as well as a busy place, and I shall never forget it. We have some people there doing some business believe me, and I wish you could just step over there a little while and go down Broad street West and broad street East, and you would just open your mouth and there would come out of it, "Praise God from Whm All Blessings Flow." To meet Editor Sol. Johnson of the tribune is worth a trip to the city. He is a man of great ability and worth. He is a recognized leader and factor in the city, and does not make any fuss about it. In addition to this he is giving to a real live paper. As you walk down West Broad street, just one block from the nation stable your attention will beracted by the Wage Earners man and Investment Company, which is termed the pioneer Negro savings Banks of Georgia, with a capital stock authorized of $50.000. E. Williams, president, Sol C. Johnson, vice president; R. H. perper, secretary; W. H. Burgess, v. J. Williams, John F. Jones, M. Ferebee, Nathan Roberts, J. Williams, H. B. Wright, C. Lindsay, W. R. Brown, A. Singfeld, directors. These are the men who are doing something. I did not get to the river bank there because I was not busy. "I had the pleasure of getting some other business men here was James R. Davis, a man ability and worth, Mr. Munros, who is a clerk in one of the largest banks in the city, and has a large undertaking establishment, with his daughter, Miss Essie manager. I did not tell you that the bank people owned a large three story building One of the largest planters in Georgia is E. Seabrook, and he is kept busy all the time planting human bodies. They call him an undertaker, but the only thing I could see him doing was undertaking to plant human bodies. For this business he is well fixed. He has a fine automobile in which he handles his dead people. He has emancipated his horses for that purpose, but believe me he has some horses and everything else you can call. He has worked from the ground floor, and he owns a three story building in which is to be found chapel, office, the finest final beds for people, and other things. He is one of the best fitted up men in Georgia. He is always polite and courteous, although the people he handles can never come back and transact any more business with him. It is a great thing to meet these business men. Prof. John Hope, of Moorehouse College, was one of the prominent figures in the grand lodge, and he delivered an address. It would just take me a day to tell you all I have seen since I wrote to you the last time, and you will therefore excuse me from writing a long letter, because it is so hot. Should you desire to send me a letter, let me have it at 1505 N. 7th street, Waco, Texas. I will be there all of next week, then to Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Combings made up in any style Manufacturer of all Hair Goods BOY SCOUT NEWS Mr. Murphy, Editor Afro-American Ledger Dear Sir: Having heard through your paper about the colored Boy Scouts, and knowing the difficulties that such an organization of our people will have in finding proper camping grounds; we wish to extend to the leader of these Boy Scouts, through you and paper an invitation to visit at any tim and camp upon our place. We have a large place near Relay and right on the Patapsco River where there is good fishing and a large baseball diamond where they could play games. We could also furnish them at times, if asked, a few fresh vegetables to eat while in camp. We would extend this invitation to an organization of manly young boys that would do nothing that would reflect upon them and the race anything but good. A large number of the white boy scouts visit and camp in this vicinity every year. We wish that our boys should have the same advantages as the whites. Therefore since we are in a position to extend such an invitation to a worthy set of young boys we do so with pleasure. We would be glad to have the leader come out and look our place over and pick out a suitable camping ground. Yours truly, SPENCER PATTERSON & SON P. S.—The B. and O. R. R. will put you off within three squares of our place and the extension of the Wilkens avenue car line within a mile of it at Halethrope. The boys thru the kindness of Mr. Daniel Murphy spent a delightful day's encampment at Greenwood Electric Park, Catonsville, Monday last. All the boys met at Macedonia Church and "hiked" to Catonsville. Baltimore's first real "hikers" are Rufus Pinkney of Macedonia, Joseph Kelso of Waters, Raymond Elliott of Waters and Alphonso Green of Waters. These four young men "hiked" to Annapolis bearing greetings from the Afro-American Ledger to the people of Annapolis. While there they were the guests of an Annapolis troop of colored Boy Scouts that had been organized but seven months. The trust was connected with Rev. Briscoe's church. Rev. Briscoe was a former Baltimore pastor extended every courtesy to the Boys from Baltimore, and returned a letter of greeting to the "Afro." Scout Russel Johnson hiked to Catonsville too. He likes chicken; so when the hens and roosters saw him coming they all ran for their lives. The executive council met at the residence of Mr. Charles Tolson, Thursday last and selected four Boy Scouts to go down to Brown's Grove, September 10th, 1915. Those were present were Charles A. Cary, Rufus Finkney, David Green, W. C. Davis, Charles Tolson, Louis Holly, Oliver Jones and Joseph Kelso. All colored Boy Scouts of Baltimore and Maryland better "be prepared" on Friday, September 10, 1915. There's going to be a great big "Field Day" at Brown's Grove. The executive council is working hard to make it a day never to be forgotten in the lives of the boys. A big band will be on the job, and a plenty of "eats." Boating, fishing, crabbing, swimming, cooking camp stews, and everything else. Chief Scout Athlete, Arnett Murphy will be there with a bag of stunts. So if any Scout has stiff muscles let him grease up every night from now until then. Scout Jerome Chase was among the hikers last Monday at Catonsville. They say Scout Chase can outwalk a mule! He is some "hiker." It is rumored that the Colored Boy Scouts at Annapolis will soon join hands with the Colored Boy Scouts of Baltimore. If such a union he brought about much good may be expected to result therefrom. If Scott Rufus Pinkney, the drill master continues his "week-end hikes" he will certainly win for himself a name that will attract statewide attention. Reporter Alphonso Green is asleep on his job this week, boys. Scout Charles King, one of East Baltimore's energetic Scouts, has a new Scout uniform. Scout King is a regular tenderfoot in good standing. He was on the job at Catonsville, and had a big time. A NEW ST.

REGEIVES FLATTERING OFFER Not only is Brown's Grove one of the most popular excursion resorts in and around Baltimore, but its success under the management of Capt. George W. Brown has attracted the attention of shrewd investors. He has received a number of offers to sell out his excursion business, one of which was for $100,000, with a five year contract to manage the enterprise One of the railroads entering Baltimore is also said to be greatly impressed with the possibilities of running excursions from distant points to this city, with Brown's Grove as the final destination. This would not only increase the business of the railroad, but would give many people living outside of Baltimore an opportunity to spend an outing at Brown's Grove at a comparatively low figure. According to gossip, the railroad may try to secure the privilege of running its tracks near Miller's Wharf. If this should fail, then every effort will be aimed to facilitate the carrying of passengers on the street cars so that they may reach Miller's Wharf in time to take the steamer Starlight for the Grove. When approached as to the rumor, Captain Brown said that he had heard something of it, but knew nothing definite. He expressed himself as being highly gratified at the fine way in which the race here had supported his enterprise, and added that he would be glad if any arrangements could be made to run excursions from the counties and nearby towns to Brown's Grove.

BALTIMORE, JULY 24, 1915 Sometimes the sun, unkindly hot My garden makes a desert spot; Sometimes a blight upon the tree Takes all the fruit away from me. And then with throes of bitter pain Rebellious passions rise and swell; But life is more than fruit or grain. And so I sing and all is well. Dunbar Bethel, Philadelphia, mother of the A. M. E. Church, was denicated July 29, 1794. THE PHILLIPS STATUE To the famous memorials to Crispus Attucks, Robert Gould Shaw and Charles Sumner, of which the colored people of Boston have a right to be proud, 'the statue of Wendell Phillips, abolitionist, by Daniel Chester French, whose work in the "Minute Man" at Concord, the statue of John Harvard in Cambridge and "Death Arresting the Sculptor" is so well known, has come to take its place in the Public Gardens as a worthy addition. The monument represents the great abolitionist standing at a reading-desk, his right hand upon the desk, his left raised and holding a bit of a broken fetter. Directly below the bronze figure are the words. WENDELL PHILLIPS Champion of the Slave Above on the marble background stands in raised letters: "Whether in Chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victory." On the reverse side of this background is this quotation from Phillips, "I love inexpressibly these streets of Boston, over whose pavements my mother held up tenderly my baby feet, and it God grants me time enough. I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave." Fittingly enough the great-grand nephew of Phillips, John C. Phillips, Jr., pulled the string that unveiled the statue, and the grandson of Garrison, who fought with Phillips for the freedom of the slave, William Lloyd Garrison read a poem of dedication. The memorial was erected by the city of Boston at the cost of twenty thousand dollars. The idea however originated in the mind of a Negro, who was foremost in seeing that it was carried out, and one of the speakers at the unveiling. A chorus of colored women gathered from Boston churches burst into "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" as the mantle was drawn aside revealing the figure. In the Wendell Phillips monument Boston recognizes the worth and sacrifice of a great abolitionist. It recognizes, too, the right of its colored citizens to propose and to have a share in the erection of the memorial. More than this, it recognizes as living, operating, the spirit of justice that Phillips typified when he refused to take a cabin board a Long Island Sound steamer, when the same accommodation was not extended to his friend Douglass; and the spirit of unceasing protest against injustice, rebellion even, as evidenced in these words of Phillips when a Virginia slave captured in Boston was about to be returned:—"The reason why I advise the slave to be governed by a policy of peace is because he has no chance. If he had one—if he had as good a chance as those who went up to Lexington seventy-seven years ago—I should call him the basest recreant that ever deserted wife and child if he did not vindicate his liberty by his own right hand." "GETTING OFF THE DEFENSIVE" The rush of the capable and the energetic young people into the professions is the best indication of perverted social condition. Teaching, preaching, and healing are not in themselves creative of a store of wealth that can be further bargained for. Attraction for the professions therefore ought under normal conditions to linger behind attraction for occupations of the farmer and the tradesman, whose services are less indispensable. It is easy to see how after two and a half centuries of enforced labor, freedom should cause the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction, and the occupations, that offer the best opportunity for leisure and a steady income, with little investment of initial capital, should be most sought after. Today the inclination towards business grows and must increase as the crowded professions lessen the chances for large incomes. The acquisition of capital, by dint of hard work, saving and perseverance has done much toward turning effort to an undeveloped business field. Capital that has been earned with such great cost makes its owner chary, often too chary, of risking it in a business venture, and especially when the management is in the hands of amateurs. The quality that will make for the largest development in business is the business sense. One cannot any longer simply resolve to become a grocer without an understanding of those he is to supply and a knowledge of market prices and their fluctuations. There is, too, but one way to learn—by doing apprenticeship with successful grocery men, and finding out all they know about it. Apprenticeship in a white store means very often a porter or a clerk without hope of promotion. Not promotion should be striven for, but how that man conducts his business and what are the elements of his success and failure. To the writer's way of thinking the thousands of the fairer members of the race, who use their lighter skins to enjoy social pleasures from which their darker brothers are barred, might make capital of it and become bookkeepers, head clerks, private secretaries and managers in white firms, and then make use of the acquired knowledge in their own stores among their own people. This is clearly what Booker T Washington means by "getting off the defensive." Its carrying the game to the other fellow; learning from him how to compete with him, and eventually undersell him, because you are building on his foundation. The Atlanta, Georgia "Independent" complains that, "While we have made progress along several lines, church, secret societies and to some extent in business . . . we have made very little show in many lines of business." It continues, "In many communities of the South, we constitute half the population, and yet the supplying of our people's consumption is negligible." Atlanta cannot boast of a single wholesale grocery, department store or shoe store. The failure of Atlanta is the failure in many other cities, surely in Baltimore. We have made astonishing progress in the organization of machinery for caring for the sick and burying the dead, but we do not command the agencies that furnish us with food and clothing. We have capital, but fear to risk it, preferring endowment insurance and real estate investments, paying a bare six per cent interest when the same amount in a shoe business would quadruple the income. Risk, capital and business sense, these three, but the greatest of these is business sense. From main spire of the splendid dome covered temple that occupies the city block between Drudid Hill avenue and McCulloh, and Lafayette and Lanvale street reverberated the sound of the huge bell; and finally died slowly away. Wrapped in meditation the bishop of Baltimore leaned over the paraphet overlooking the new Baltimore that had come to be. As the last echoes of the call to service lost themselves in the evening shadows, the grizzled clergyman turned and wound his way down the circular stairway still lost in thought. Arrived on the last landing he moved more rapidly across the hallway into his dimly lighted study. Turning over the papers on his table he arranged the sheets of his sermon and with confident step entered the door on the left and moved toward the single chair behind the pulpit. pounds, one girl three and other three and one-half. All of them are normal and well. Mrs. Leverett only became a widow. Evident is a new basis of appraisal four babies equal one husba. With next week we begin of "Sunday Thoughts" readers, edited from week by prominent clergymen city. Don't fail to read who ministers, what your mind to say. The usual Sunday evening service passed with the accustomed solemnity, and the bishop found himself speaking to his flock. He took his text from the first line of the Apostle's Creed. In measured tones that penetrated the farthest corners of the temple and attached and held the eight thousand assembled worshippers, he defined what belief means, explained the development of the belief we now have, and why that development was the necessary concomitant of the growth of civilization. "One God," he said, "meant one creed, one church, and then he paused." "Tonight," he continued, "is the fiftieth anniversary of that first movement to unify the colored protestants in America. Looking out upon this section of our city where now the spires of our temple lone break the skyline above the house tops, a half century ago saw the pointed or square towers of more than a half-dozen half-paid for churches, and as many struggling congregations, competing like ordinary business firms of those days for the money in the purses, less for the well-being of their customers. "Those who urged the confederation of churches then put forward as their chiefest of reasons, the economic saving for the hundreds of poorer people, who in the early part of this century supported for the most part all religious work. For us, of this day, who derive our support for religious work from municipal funds, the taxes, in exactly the same manners the public schools, and depending as we do on the will of all the people, and not on the price of the individual, this reason has been overshadowed by one apparently overlooked by the original convention, which nevertheless built better than it knew. Those of that day little realized how limited the field of influence of the then minister, how circumscribed his utterances, how much time the clergyman must give to the question of finance, and how little to the problem of lifting his parishoners out of the rut of that drudgery and into the realm of inspiring idealism. The whole truth could not be spoken then, for fear of offending the oldest members, or the most liberal givers, who peeved might join another church or if in sufficient numbers, draw out and establish a new meeting place of their own. This is the larger benefit that has come down to us." And then looking forward hopefully into the years ahead, he sketched rapidly the confederation of the future, where differences of protestant and catholic remained to be cleared away, before the world could look out upon the church universal, the church successful, wherein all chanted with meaning—I believe in God the Father. The bishop took his seat, and the great organ beginning softly at first, rumbled louder and louder, tumbling echo over echo thru the wide arches, until music seemed to issue from every corner, finally dying away leaving the audience tense listening, some seconds after the last note had been played. The benediction followed, and the old prelate still meditating, turned back toward the door of his study. At the Sunday night service the Rev. Douglas McDuffie, who is conducting a revival in Bethel Church, discouraged by lack of warmth on the congregation, exclaimed: "I'll move you, tho all hell fight against me." Anyone who has followed the revivalists from Bethel Church, thru the city and back again would realize the truth of Rev. McDuffie's statement he has moved them. "The Birth of a Nation" or Dixon's rewarnished "Clansman" was originally scheduled for next week at the Academy. The postponement to a later date gives the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. an opportunity to get its ammunition together; which simply means that the Association put before the Mayor the kind of play it is, and its history on the stage in the various American cities. Mrs. Eliza Leverett, of Winston, Ga., aged forty-two years, gave birth on Saturday last to two boys and two girls, weighing a total of thirteen pounds. The boys weighed each three and one quarter pounds, one girl three and the other three and one-half pounds. All of them are normal and doing well. Mrs. Leverett only recently became a widow. Evidently there is a new basis of appraisement—four babies equal one husband. With next week we begin a series of "Sundav Thoughts" for our readers, edited from week to week by prominent clergymen of the city. Don't fail to read what these ministers, what your minister has to say. LATE LITERARY NEWS REDDER BLOOD BY WILLIAM M. ASHBY William M. Ashby, graduate of Lincoln University, and now a student in the school of Religion at Yale is the author of this interesting story in which he takes an old theme and ventures to prove his foreword—"that neither custom, nor convention, nor law are great enough barriers to keep two persons apart, who love deeply." Mr. Birch, a prominent and wealthy young man meets with an accident and is carried to a hospital. There he falls in love with his nurse and marries her. Their years pass by happily and their son proves himself worthy of their love. All goes well until a new man-servant comes into the house as chef. He turus out to be one, who knows the "past" of Mrs. Birch. He tries to force her away with him, and threatens to expose her past life to her hus band. He uses many methods to get her away from home, but each time is thwarted. One morning the father and son returning home, surprise the chef forcibly abducting Mrs. Birch. It is then that the husband learns the truth. Mrs. Birch is colored. He leaves home quietly, not intending that anyone shall know he has gone for good. The son, who is twenty-two, and about to be married, hastens to break his engagement, but the girl after her first display of anger decides that color is no barrier. Later Mr. Birch returns for the same reason. His redder blood has given sentiment the victory over convention. The conflict of convention and sentiment is also the leading theme in Edward Shelden's "The Nigger." The triumph of the former is one of the bases of objection to Mr. Sheldon's work as shown in the moving picture houses. The author of "Redder Blood" attempts further to break down one other convention. He makes his heroine Wando a suitor to young Birch, placing upon her all of the initiative. To be sure this is another phase of the theme that he started out to prove, but by some will not be found as convincing and therefore as acceptable as his main theme. In spite of occasional lapses in style "Redder Blood" is well written, excellently bound, and worth while the reading. PYTHIANS MAKE AUTO TRIP TO HAGERSTOWN To make the trip to Hagerstown and return in an automobile without a single blow-out was the record of a party of prominent Pythians who left the city Monday morning to attend the sessions of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias. The party was composed of Dr. Charles H. Fowler, Messrs. Clinton A. Davis, Ernest Grayson, William T. Turner, William Seward and D. H. Murphy. The trip was a most enjoyable one in every respect. The autoists stopped at Frederick and were the guests of Drs. Brooks and Bourne. The car was owned and driven by Charles Clements. Another bunch of autoists left Sunday morning. They were Grand Chancellor George A. Watty, Grand Vice Chancellor J. Edward Smith and John H Hawkins, who is regarded as the Warwick of Pythianism in Baltimore. PERSONAL NOTES. Miss Mary Stevens, of 1303 Pennsylvania avenue, was tendered a surprise party on Thursday, July 15th by her sister, Miss Ella J. Stevens. A joyful evening was spent. Mrs. Carrie Butler, of 2241 Division street, left the city this week for Crisfield, Md., for four weeks, to visit her sister, Mrs. J. H. Hargest and friends. Mrs. Fannie N. Briscoe, wife of Rev. James Briscoe, pastor of Mt. Moriah A M.E. Church, Annapolis, Md., is confined to her home by illness. Mrs. Sadie Davis, and Mrs. Percy T. Borron, were among the many Baltimoreans seen in Hagerstown DAY-BERRY NUPTIALS Grace Presbyterian Church was the scene of a pretty wedding Wednesday night, an interesting feature being that the bride was a graduate of the High School last month and that she and her bridesmaids, also members of the class, wore their graduating gowns. The contracting couple was Mr. Wm. Bright Day and Miss Ethel Jeannette Berry. No invitations were issued, only the relatives and a few immediate friends were present. The bridesmaids were Miss Theresa Hicks and Miss Lucille Brown, members of the same class. The bride looked very sweet in white cerpe de chine with a shower bouquet of white roses. The bridesmaids were in white lace with pink roses. Little Miss Evelyn Clark made a dainty little flower girl. She carried a beautiful basket of pink sweet peas. The groom, a member of the class of 1910, after spending a few years at Howard University, took up the coal business of the late A. Theo. Luca. He is connected with several fraternal orders, being a Mason and a Pythian, and is the present chancellor commander of S. W. Stark Lodge, No. 39 K. of P. Mr. Frank Saunders, of Howard University, was best man and Mr. Heber Watts, usher. Mr. and Mrs. Day left on a late train for Atlantic City. GENRY'S DONE LOSS HIS DOG Wilbert J. Henry, of 1108 N. Carey street, is mourning the death of his pet dog Rover Mr. Henry went to Hagerstown Monday to attend the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias. He chained Rover to prevent his taking up the trail and following him to Hagerstown. Rover did not like the idea of being chained and manifested his disapproval. Mr. Henry returned from Hagerstown Wednesday, greeted Rover, but did not untie him. Rover whined some. When Mr. Henry came downstairs in the morning, he found Rover had mounted the fence, fallen, and as the chain was not long enough to reach the ground; the canine was dead from strangulation. He was unable to determine whether Rover committed suicide or died from strangulation. He has ordered a tombstone with the following epitaph thereon: Here lies dear Rover Whose life is over; No more will he bark Or go on a lark Or go on a lark. LOOKOUT FOR THIS IMPOSTOR A white man who has been going around the city posing as an employee of the Health Department and telling colored sick people that he has been ordered to notify them that they should go to a sanitarium has been denounced as an impostor. Learning that someone was sick he went to his home and told the patient that he was sent by the Health to advise that he go to a sanitarium. He usually said that this would cost $30, but that $5 must be paid in advance to him and the remainder after a cure had been effected. Dr. E. M. Boyle, of 430 N. Caroline street, found out that several of his patients had been thus approached by the bogus health officer. He called the attention of the Health Department. and the police are now making efforts to capture the man. PYTHIANS INSTALL OFFICERS Thomas W.

HELP SAVE THIS BABY'S LIFE The Baltimore Sun is undertaking to help poor babies to tide over the hot days of the summer. It makes no distinction on account of color and today is advertising this baby. COLORED BABY, No. 155. A hard-working colored woman with four children, the eldest six years old and the youngest five weeks, was left a widow a month ago. She goes out to work each day leaving her children in the care of a paralyzed woman. The baby is getting thinner and weaker each day. The doctor has ordered the mother to stop giving it condensed milk, but she cannot afford cow's milk, as it takes all her money to pay the rent and buy food. The need is for modified milk at a cost of 15 cents a day for 100 days, or a total of $15. On part of the colored people of this city the Afro-American Ledger has taken this baby and appeals to you to help take care of it. Send in your donations at once. Do it today. FUNERAL OF MRS. ELIZA J. ADAMS The funeral of Mrs. Eliza J. Adams, who died on Monday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary J. E.

Gaines and C. H. Young officiated. Interment was in St. Thomas' Cemetery. The deceased was born in Howard county in 1842, and came to this city in 1861. She joined Bethel Church in the year 1865. Marrying the late Wesley Adams, she went to Randallstown to live, where she resided until her removal back to this city in 1890.

ELECTED VICE GRAND CHANCELLOR A. B. BOSTON HONORS PHILLIPS' MEMORY Citizens Unveil Fine Statue of Noted Abolitionist. PATRIOTIC EXERCISES HELD With Music and Speeches by Eminent Men, Public Turns Out En Masse to Witness Event of National Interest. W. Monroe Trotter Speaks For Our Race. Boston.—A few minutes before 6 o'clock on the afternoon of July 5 the well fell from the $20,000 bronze statue of Wendell Phillips in the Public Garden, and a crowd of from 5,000 to 6,000 acclaimed with cheers and patriotic song Daniel Chester French's almost speaking memorial of Boston's famous orator and abolitionist. As the sun was sinking behind rain clouds in the west little John C. Phillips, Jr., the great-granddhew of Wendell Phillips, the man who declared that if he lived long enough he would make Boston streets too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave, pulled the cord releasing the mantle which for several weeks had veiled the statue. As the folds fell away from the figure of the great abolitionist "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!" burst from a chorus of colored singers. Fervent was the prayer of Rev. Montrose W. Thornton, pastor of the historic Charles Street church and also chairman of the executive committee of the local Equal Rights league branch; sterling and practical the tribute of the acting mayor. George W. Coleman, a man of Wendell Phillips' principles, as was every speaker. Illuminating and forceful was the late story by Secretary William D. Brigham. Sweet and inspiring were the singing by the colored singers, led by Dr. Walter O. Taylor and J. Thernman Jones, and the music of the brass band of Company L. Sixth regiment of Massachusetts militia. Picturesque and touching was the encomium by the only survivor of the New England abolitionists, Frank B. Sainborn, eighty-three years old, still active, a coworker with Phillips. Earnest and unqualified was the praise by the spokesman for colored Americans, W. M. Trotter. Fired with eloquence born of love was the eulogy of Ireland's friend and friend of all oppressed by Michael J. Jordan, son of O'Connell's island home; uneful and noble the pawn of the poet of the occasion, grandson of Phillips' parley leader, bearing his name, William Lloyd Garrison. Every participant was an emulator of the "Prophet of Liberty, Champion of the Slave," while the colored women of the Woman's Relief corps held the colors. The monument, a masterpiece by Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, represents the great abolitionist standing at a reading desk, his right hand resting upon the desk, his left out stretched and holding a bit of broken letter. Upon the marble background, above the head of the statue, are the words, "Whether In Chains or In Laundry, Liberty Knows Nothing but Victory." On the pedestal, in front, are the words in raised bronze letters: WENDELL PHILLIES. 1831-1834. PROPHET OF LIBERTY. CHRADDON OF THE SLAVE. On the reverse side of the background is this quotation from Phillips: "I love inexpressibly these streets of Boston, over whose pavements my mother held up tenderly my baby feet, and if God grants me time enough I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave." The exercises were opened by Mr William D. Brigham, secretary of the Wendell Phillips Memorial association, who introduced the acting mayor, George W. Coleman, president of the city council. Mr. Coleman then introduced, in turn, four speakers, who presented a verbal paraphrase of Wendell Phillips' life. William D. Brigham spoke on "Morning-Youth and Vision." Franklin Benjamin Sanborn on "Noon—the Abolitionist Period." William Monroe Trotter on "Afternoon-Citizenship For the Colored American." and Michael J. Jordan "Evening-What Mr. Phillips Did For Ireland." Mr. Coleman, in introducing William Monroe Trotter, said that nothing was so appropriate as for the colored race to have a spokesman in dedicating a monument to Wendell Phillips and that there could be no more fit representative than William Monroe Trotter. Mr. Trotter said that Wendell Phillips was the originator of the north's policy of reconstruction and a pioneer advocate of the ballot for colored Americans. No man had done more for the cause of human rights, perhaps, than Wendell Phillips, save Charles Summer. Wendell Phillips was among the first to announce emancipation as the purpose of the war and to urge that the people of color should be used as soldiers to help to save the Union. He was a pioneer in the movement for suffrage. He saw to it that slavery should be torn up by the roots and that as far as federal law was concerned every man, white and black, should have citizenship and suffrage. Wendell Phillips believed, as we do, that the greatest thing is human freedom, said Mr. Trotter, and it cannot be maintained without equality, and there can be no equality without the belief.

BARNETT DODSON. Among the literary features for instruction and amusement in course of preparation for the national Lincoln jubilee and exposition to be held at the Coliseum in Chicago from Aug. 22 to Sept. 10 are pageants showing the condition of the race centuries ago and its advancement under freedom. There will be educational and religious congresses, song festivals, bulletins showing the numerical strength of the race and many works of art and invention. The commission has issued a beautifully illustrated periodical called the Lincoln Sentinel. It is a four page paper with photos of Lincoln. Grant, John A. Logan, Owen Lovejoy, Fred Douglass, Stephen A. Douglass, John M. Palmer and Cardinal Gibbons. The data in the Sentinel cover a wide range of subjects of race effort, struggle and achievement through the fifty years, which have elapsed since its freedom. Great interest is being shown by the various national organizations and the business men from the different states which will have exhibits at the exposition. For instance, Monday, Aug. 20, is designated as Indiana day on which day large delegations of citizens of Indiana will be in attendance and not as guides to the other visitors in calling attention to the products of Indiana. Wednesday, Sept. S. will be national Baptist convention day. On this occasion the public will have the opportunity of witnessing the wonderful progress made by the Baptist denomination. Exhibits from the national Baptist publishing board at Nashville, Tenn. will be one of the chief attractions. Saturday, Sept. 11, will be Mound Bayon (Miss.) day. The town of Mound Bayon was founded by Isaiah T. Mourgomery, who was its first mayor and who is still one of the town's most noted men. The municipal government is run by colored men. There are an oil mill, postoffice, telegraph office, bank, school and church edifices, all the product of the brain of members of our race. The city authorities at Chicago are giving substantial support to the coming exposition, and the whole affair now has the appearance of a mammoth national semicentennial celebration. WATERS A. M. E.

BONOBS ITS GRADUATES The First Baptist Church and Sunday School tendered a fine reception on the evening of the 13th instant to members of the 95 graduating class of the High School, who constitute a porton of its membership. The graduates are: Mary Cheney, Otho Keys, and Benjamin Grant. Delightful refreshments were served and toasts responded to by both the graduates and a portion of their hosts. A particularly interesting feature of the program was an address by Mrs. John Hitchens. In her delightful and suave manner, Mrs. Hitchens impressed the graduates with the responsibility that rests upon them. Among her many helpful and wholesome remarks were, that their work was not finished but just begun; that they had completed only a part of their school career; that they must be prepared to struggle more arduously than they ever did in the past because the eyes of the world are now upon them; that they are expected to use their education for the glory and honor of God, for the betterment of their race and for the uplift of humanity; that they must not expect to achieve in life by an endeavor to reach the top without beginning from the bottom; that life is a struggle, a hard struggle, that whoever expects the mastery must not only agree to struggle but most struggle to the end.

Sporting Events Throughout the Country COLORED ATHLETES SMASH RECORDS Binga Dismond and "Sol" Butler Cause Two A. A. U. Records To Go By The Boards Colored track athletes all over the country distinguished them- selves on the field last Saturday, and not only did they equal records made, but in two cases broke the Central and National A. A. U. records. Binga Dismond made the notable performance of the day throughout the country. Dismond, representing the University of Chicago and competing with the best athletes that the West could offer, in their tryouts for the Panama-Pacific Exposition games, held on Staggfield, Chicago, broke the national A. A. U. record for 440 yards of 0:48 4:5 seconds, beating it by one fifth of a second. The first record was made by Burke of Boston in 1896 and has stood until this time. Dismond drew the pole and got away to a good start and gradually increased his lead until he finished 10 yards in the lead. Only last Saturday, week ago, Dismond easily outran a fast field at the Press Meet in Pittsburg, and so remarkable was his running that papers throut the country predicted an early downfall of the, then great, record of Burke. At the Chicago meet also, "Sol" Butler, a mere school boy of Rock Island, Chicago, beat the national broad jump record of 24 1-2 inches by two inches. His performance is considered by the expert judges on the field to be remarkable in as much as Butler has only participated in "big athletics" a short while. Dismond and Butler both were selected to go to the Exposition games. GRANGER WINS FEATURE EVENT IN NEW YORK MEET While Dismond and Butler were performing so well in the West, Willizm Granger, the great runner of the Irish American A. C. and James Ravenell of the St. Christopher Club, former national junior champion of the 100 yard dash, both of New York were busy, carrying off honors at the Newark, Y. M. C. A. meet held at the Federal League Park in New York last Saturday. Granger was the star of the games, by winning the feature event of the day—the Bamberger 440 yard handicap from scratch, easily outrunning his nearest competitor Thomas Brady of the Prudential A. C., who was given a star of 18 yards. Havenell, who was in fine fattie stepped the century distance in the good time of 10 1-5 seconds, defeating many sprinters of note, including Frank Stephenson another former national junior champion. SALEM-GRESCENTS TAKE FIRST PLACE The athletes of the Salem Crescent A. C., of New York captured first place in the Phillips-Jones Athletic Association meet held at Juniper Park, Maspeth, L. I. last Saturday. With two firsts and three fourth places the Crescents gathered a total of 13 points and victory. Herman Fosterm of the Crescents, with a handicap of 2 1-2 yards won the 100 yard dash in the good time of 10 seconds, flat. John Brunson also of the same club with a handicap of 10 yards won the 880 yard run in 2 minutes and 6 seconds. J. Capers, got fourth in the 220 yard dash; O. Hawkins took fourth in the 440. In the mile relay the Salem's team composed of K Foster, J. Bronson, O. Hawkins and J. Greed, managed to get fourth place. Howard P. Drew, the national champion 100 yard spinner has changed his mind about participating the Panama-Pacific Exposition games, and will begin conditioning himself for the events which will take place on the 16th of August. BY SPORTSMAN TENNIS MATCHES AT DRUID HILL Cook Successfully Defends Title; Cardoza Downs Reckling; Rhetta Eats Up McCard Druid Hill Park tennis ground was the scene of lively contests for championship honors last Saturday afternoon. Three sets of singles were played between the following contestants: F. N. Cardoza and Ralph Reckling; Ralph Cook and Carl Murphy; H. S. McCard and R. M. Rhetta. The first match was between Cardoza and Reckling, and proved the most interesting of the three contests. Cardoza started off with a rush and did not allow Reckling a game in the first set, and captured the second 6-4. Reckling took a brace however and evened matters up by winning the next two sets 6-3 and 7-5. In the deciding set Cardoza's superior playing and good wind gave him the advantage and he won handily 6-4. His victory over Reckling places him fourth in the scale of registered players. Meantime Ralph Cook and Carl Murphy, unregistered had started their set. Whether Cooks reputation or his playing got Murphy's "goat" in the first set is hard to say, but however the fact is that he (Murphy) lost the first set 6 0 with several love games included. Murphy rallied in the second set, but not enough to prevent Cook to take this one too by the score of 6-4. Cook played a consistent game and seemed to be master of the situation in almost every play, while Murphy's seeming over anxiety to win caused him to lose several good opportunities to cinch the games that were needed to win. The final contest between H. S. McCard and B. M. Rhetta proved interesting. Rhetta, who had been practicing faithfully morning and evening for the fray was in fine fettle and went, into the match confident of his ability. He won the first set 6-2 in easy fashion. The second was not to be won so easily however, and after allowing McCard to play up to 7-7, Rhetta went in to "finish him up," and carried off the second set by capturing the next two games in quick succession. Rhetta thus moves up to sixth place among the registered players. Continuing the single challenge contests that were begun last Saturday E. V Fitzgerald took Emerson Hillen into camp in easy fashion Wednesday in two fast sets 6-2, 6-2. At no time did Hillen have Fitzgerald in danger, as the latters easy style of playing and excellent placing put his opponent completely "in the clock." John J. Wheeler will attempt to defend his title against William Weaver, and Weaver will in turn try to prevent McDaniels from recovering the ground he lost at his hands a few weeks ago. SALEMS ENTER FOUR MEN AND TAKE THIRD PLACE With only four men entered the Salem Crescent Club gained third place in the junior track and field championship games of the Metropolitan Association at Schenectady, N. Y. last Saturday. Roy I. Morse, the crack sprinter of the Salems tore off the century dash in 10 1-5 seconds with his team mate, P. J. White, of the same club, third. White was also second in the 220 yard dash, while L. Labeat was second in the running hop, step, and jump, with a distance of 42 ft. 10 3-4 inches. In the 220 yard low hurdles A. C. Gorham of the Crescents came in fourth, making the distance in a little over 28 seconds. W. Powe, the only one of the Smart Set's men to win a place was third in the 880 yard run. Tommy Coleman, the clever colorad welterweight even things up with Eddie Revoir in Philadelphia Tuesday night before the Douglass Club, when he treated his much heavier opponent to a good trouncing. Revoir had the better of the first three rounds but after that Coleman had things his own way, cutting Revoir's eye and staggering him with heavy lefts on the side of the head. Revoir beat Coleman severely the last time the two met. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER WANTS $50,000 FOR LAYING DOWN Ex-champion Jack Johnson Says That Amount Is Due Him For Faking Recent Fight Many attacks on the genuineness of the Jess Willard-Jack Johnson fight for the world's heavyweight championship have been made, but the worst jolt appears in the latest issue of John Bull, which has just reached this country from England. Horatio Bottomley, the editor of the paper, charges that Johnson declared that the fight was a fake and that Johnson now is forced to admit it, because he has not-received $50,000, a guarantee that was promised him for laying down to Willard. Here is John Bull's story: We are sorry we have to return to our old friend Jack Johnson, of whom we hoped we had taken a final farewell after, as we thought, he had been genuinely deprived of the championship title by Willard in April last. We are not entitled to say that there was any compact with Willard. It may be that so far as he is concerned the affair as straight an above board, and that he fought in ignorance of the serdid bargain to which Johnson pleads guilty, but in view of what we are about to disclose, some explanation from him would certainly appear to be desirable. We are not aware of the date upon which Johnson reached England after the fight, but he could no have been here long before he was busy formulating claims for having agreed to "lay down" to Willard, whom he describes from the boxing point of view, as merely "a joke," and offers to fight for a side bet of "twenty-five thousand" presumably dollars—the winner to take "all and purse money." These admissions and challenges are contained in certain cables sent to New York early in June. We do not, for obvious reasons, at present disclose the name of the person to whom they were addressed, especially in view of the fact that he repudiates having been party to any such dishonest arrangement as that suggested—although, of course, Johnson cannot escape from self-confessed fraud. The first cable was despatched from London on June 9, and this is how it reads: You signed contract to pay me fifty thousands dollars to lay down to Willard, which I did. You never kept your promise I did. Now you must pay according to contract. Litigate all you like. I will put my case before any court and press in the world. JACK JOHNSON.

COMMENT FROM OUR EXCHANGES BACK TO AFRICA MOVEMENT STARTS That a back to Africa movement has been inaugurated by D. R. Thomas of Bonita is the information received in a communication from Thomas to Attorney-General Wiley Jones. Thomas is secretary-treasurer of the plan, which, his letter-heads say is "The Black Movement to Africa." His communication to Attorney-General Jones says: "I have made application to the legislature of Arizona for a charter right to proceed and organize all black men, women and children who want to go into the movement and also those who are 90 per cent black (a dark brown hue) into colonies and have them concentrate into camps along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers where they can be prepared and sent on to Africa. For such is the will of God. Please see the honorable governor, and appear before the legislature, and speak for the charter and separation of the black from the white race. No yellow or mixed blood Negroes are to be admitted in the movement because they do not belong to the black race." —Arizona Gazette "Yo Rufus cum in heah dis instep, I say: Now, what I done tole yo' bout runnin' away?

Gray of the University of California, holds that there is no blood test which will determine whether a person has a race of Ethiopian blood. "All human blood, regardless of race, responds to the same reactions," declared Dr. Gray. "I proved this by a series of experiments at Harvard. If any man claims he can tell by a blood test the difference between a black man and white, he is either faking it or he has discovered a process that will make him famous. We have not gone far enough along to tell that difference between them yet. "The only safe manner of telling whites from blacks is by comparing the color under the fingernails. This is the only method known to science." --Pittsburg Courier. If you have an original idea or thought, if you wish to attempt something new, do not give it," because the people around you have no faith in you or it. If they call you a fool keep on being a fool if you think you are right. Remember the attitude of the crowd neither makes you right or wrong. Individuals and fools have built the world. —Chicago Defender. WHY NOT IMPROVE THEM? There is no excuse for the untidy condition we find in many of the restaurants and barber shops conducted by Afro-Americans generally patronized by Afro Americans in this city. It is a positive downright shame, not to say the least a sad commentary upon the race to think that those who are receiving our patronage should treat us in such manner. The one thing that puzzles us, since we must have restaurants and barber shops conducted by members of the race, why not have them decent? In all Philadelphia we know of but four or five decent restaurants and barber shops that reflect real credit upon us as a race, and where the service is commensurate with what you pay. The writer would like to see some improvement made in our restaurants and barber shops and, above all, let the proprietors remember the "Cleanliness is next to godliness" —Philadelphia Courant.

KONGOLENE KONGOLENE ROX INKS WOMAN OF RARE MENTAL POWERS Miss Isabella Vandervall Wins Honors as Student. SCORES HIGHEST AVERAGE. Graduates at Head of Class at the New York Medical College and Hospital For Women—Receives Appointment as Interne at Hospital For Women In Syracuse, N. Y. By N. BARNETT DODSON. East Orange, N. J. — Among the young women of the north, and particularly in New Jersey, who have won wide distinction in the high schools and colleges is Miss Isabella Vandervall of this town. From a child Miss Vandervall has shown unusual ability in every subject for study in all branches of the public and high school system which she has entered. Her career in the grammar and high schools here through her graduation from each is a bright chapter of intellectual ascendancy rarely found in the student life of a child of any race. When Miss Isabella Vandervall and her sister, Irene, graduated from the East Orange high school with the class of 1910 an attempt was made to exclude them from participation in the graduating class social function. Of this unjust net the Newark (N, J) Evening News in an editorial in which it also referred to the high honors won 1 ISAGELLA VANDERVALL, M. D. by Estella Gibbs of Hoboken, N. J., and a Mr. Johnson of the Jersey City (N. J.) high school, said: "Instances of the same kind are not numerous, and yet they can be found in practically all the large cities of this state. If the colored pupils do not capture the highest honors as did those of Hoboken and Jersey City a goodly proportion of them prove to be energetic, studious, mentally capable and quite as competent to pursue the courses of study as are the white children. So far as public school education is concerned, there is no color line in New Jersey and no withholding of honors fairly won by industry and application. "Judging from the recent action of the June graduating class of the East Orange high school in attempting to exclude the Misses Isabella and Freene Vandervall, members of the class, from participating in the class dances, it would seem that sentiment in favor of intelligence, honesty and high moral character has suddenly undergone a radical change. "The young ladies in question are the daughters of Mr. James N. Vandervall, a well known and highly respected business man of East Orange. He is the owner of the Essex Steam Carpet Cleaning works and owns other valuable property besides." Miss Vandervall was only sixteen when she graduated from the East Orange high school. Not being of eligible age to enter a medical college, she did postgraduate work at the high school in East Orange for one term. Miss Vandervall completed her medical course at the New York Medical college, New York city, in June, with high honors. She was awarded the prize for having maintained the highest efficiency of any student in her class during the entire course of four years. Her average was 97.5 per cent. The graduation exercises of the New York Medical College and Hospital For Women were held in the Astor galleries of the Waldorf-Astoria. Miss Vandervall received her honors with the grace of modesty which has characterized her actions throughout her student career. She is the only woman of our race who has graduated from the New York Medical College and Hospital For Women during the fifty-two years of its existence. Not only did Miss Vandervall win the prize in the recent June commencement, but she has been awarded a prize at the end of the term for the past three years and has also stood at the head of a class of ten women and was the youngest student in her class. She has been appointed as an interne at the hospital for women and children at Syracuse, New York. Miss Vander vall entered upon her new duties at the hospital in Syracuse the first week in July.

A dispatch from Paris recently says that the race and color question that was raised in the French chamber of deputies by the bill of the Negro deputy, M. Diagne, representing Senegal, providing for the extension of general compulsory military service in France to colonial municipalities whose inhabitants enjoy French citizenship, was presented in numerous new lights and complications at the session of the chamber. The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polygamist Senegalese leaving several widows proved a poser for the deputies. The minister of war and the military committee of the chamber approved the general provisions of the Diague bill, which provide for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Senegalese subject to compulsory service. The action of the committee was immediately attacked by Deputy Labrone, who pictured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labreuse also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amendment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments entitled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. The speaker was frequently interrupted by protests from the Negro Deputies Diagne, Lergosilière of Marignane and Camhane and Boisneuf of Grande-dupe, Lergosilière crying amid frantic applause. "Our fellow citizens ask only to be allowed to serve the mother country, for which they already have poured out their blood." Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber, was forced to quail the tumult by declaring that the entire chamber felt "the same respect and the same love for all, whatever their race or religion, who are fighting under the folds of the trioled flag." Deputy Laboree insisted on the special regiments for Somalegae who do not speak French. Deputy Robinef interrupted crying, "I then demand a special regiment for Frenchmen unable to read and write." Deputy Diagne then obtained the floor and made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the blacks, reviewing the part they had played in conquering the French colonial empire. "For eleven months the Somalegae have demanded to be allowed to serve France," he said; if they haven't been permitted to do so it is the fault of the minister of war." Deputy Diagne said that the widows of soldiers ought to receive pensions even when there were several, but he added: "Native soldiers are not as rich as the average French soldier, who is also poor and therefore has only one wife. Polygamy is a luxury of wealth." Alexander Millerand, minister of war, said the Diagne bill seemed to meet the widows of a majority of the colonials and urged its passage. The bill was passed without change. PRESIDENTS OF LAND GRANT COLLEGES TO MEET JULY 30 List of Topics and Speakers For Conference at Cincinnati. Cincinnati. The next meeting of the Land Grant college conference will be held in this city, beginning on Friday morning, July 30, at 10 o'clock. Professor Eydr Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, at Institute, W. V. W. is chairman of the conference and will preside at the coming session. The good effect of these conferences upon the various schools of the Land Grant college order has been the subject of much favorable comment. The idea of having the representatives of the institutions fostered by the Land Grant college fund meet once or twice a year to discuss the many phases of work and detail connected with such agricultural and industrial schools has proved to be a move in the right direction. The paramount object of the presidents of these schools is to establish as far as possible a uniform system of teaching, discipline and general school management. The program of subjects and speakers for the meeting to be held in Cincinnati will be as follows: The Negro Land College.—(a) "To Mission," W. S. Burchenau, president A and M. college, Normal, Ala.; B. F. Hubert, director of agriculture, A and M college, Oranzeburg, S. C. (b) "It's Responsibility," J. S.
