THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO. 50 LIBERIAN POST STILL VACANT Position Offered Dr. J. B. Oliver, of Brazil, Ind., But He Declines—Democrats Are Still Hopeful. Washington, August 5.—The position of Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia has not been filled as yet, though vacated by Henry Lincoln Johnson more than a year ago. Colored Democrats have been looking at the big plum with field glasses from various sections of the country, each waiting the time when President Wilson will take his mind long enough off foreign affairs to name one of them as chief mogul in the Recorder's office. Well, they have been waiting patiently, and their anxiety may not be relieved for some time yet. There is one little plum waiting for some lucky colored Democrat and therein. Dr. George W. Buckner, who beat a number of Bishop Walters proteges and landed the position, has resigned after spending two years there. He hails from Indiana, and Senator Kern and Congressman Moss, of the State, wanted an Indiana Democrat to still hold the position. They, it is said, got the consent of the State Department to name Dr. J. B. Oliver, of Brazil, Ind., for the position. It all might have gone through had not Dr. Oliver declined the position. His reasons for doing are that the Liberian portfolio did not pay as much as his present medical practice and that it would cost him more than his salary to hold it. Dr. Oliver was a candidate for the position of Minister to Haiti to succeed H. W. Furniss, another Indianaian, but President Wilson gave it to a white man. The latter was soon succeeded by another white man. There are many"original Wilson men" among colored Democrats (if they have not deserted since Mr. Wilson has ignored the claims of colored Democrats) and some may be found willing to go to Monrovia. INVENTOR OF SMOKE-ABATING DEVICE VISITS CITY William A. Thomas, of St. Louis inventor of a smoke-abating compound, was in the city this week. the guest of Rev. Dr. I L. Thomas. Mr. Thomas had a conference with number of representative citizens at the home of Mr. Samuel R. Bishop, 2121 Druid Hill avenue, Tuesday evening. He explained his invention, which, he said, would reduce the smoke nuisance to a minimum. A company—the National Smoke Abating and Fuel Company—has been organized to market the compound. It is capitalized at $75,000, and has a factory at East St. Louis, Ill., with a capacity, of 3,000 tons a day. According to Mr. Thomas, his invention will not only eliminate the smoke nuisance in factories and apartments, but railroads could profitably use it in tunnels. He says that he is desirous of starting another factory in this city. Mr. Thomas was born in Louisiana in 1848. For years he has been a stationary engineer in St. Louis. The officers of the National Smoke Abating and Fuel Compound Company are: A. C. Mayo, Gary, Ind., president; C. C. Parish, vice president; T. B. Watkins, Kansas City, secretary-treasurer, who, with W. A. Thomas, J. A. Thomas, A. T. Joh son and G. W. Golden, compose the board of directors. NEW YORK THE SHRINERS' MECCA Nearly Five Hundred Nobles at Seventeenth Annual Session of the Imperial Council A.E.A.O.,N.M.S. New York, August 6.—The oasis of Manhattan was the mecca for Mystic Shriners from all parts of the country this week the attraction being the seventeenth annual session of the Imperial Council Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The sessions opened Tuesday at the Mosque (Lafayette Hall) right in the heart of that big oasis called Harlem. The caravans crossed the hot sands from various sections of the country and they immediately watered their camels and went to the office of the committee for the local entertainment of the traveled-stained devotees of customs in the East. There they signed up and told from what part of the world they hailed. Looking somewhat like the sands had been very hot in the place from whence he came, the retiring imperial potentate. Noble John H. Murphy, of Baltimore, was noticed around the Mosque. There were none more cordially greeted than he and all wished that his now more than three-score and ten years of life may be doubled so that all Shriners may travel the hot sands of life along amicable and united lines. Deputy Potentate McKoin called the session to order, after which the imperial high priest and prophet, Noble J. W. Barnes, of Virginia, conducted the opening devotional services. Roll call showed that more than 500 nobles, representing 68 temples were in attendance. It was hoped to have Mayor John Purroy Mitchel deliver the address of welcome, but looking up the blistering sands of Broadway from the City Hall toward the Mosque, he got into touch with former Collector of Internal Revenue Charles W. Anderson, and the latter put on asbestos clothing and asbestos-covered shoes and came through the hot sands of Harlem's desert to greet the various caravans. His fervent and eloquent welcome caused the nobles to sit up and exclaim "Allah, be praised!" Noble Jacob H. Wright, of Richmond, Va., delivered the response. The Daughters of Isis the, female auxiliary, were present at the welcoming services. The Shriners and the Daughters of Isis were the guests of Medina Temple at a big reception at Manhattan Casino Tuesday night. Reports of the various imperial officers occupied the attention of the imperial council Wednesday. The Mystic Shriners, tired of trudging through the hot sands of the desert, embarked on an excursion steamer Thursday and took in the sights around New York harbor. The session came to an end this afternoon with the installation of the newly-elected officers. J. Edw. Smith, Charles R. Smith, Oscar Mason and J.H. Murphy, Jr., are among the Baltimoreans present. MRS. HOOKER LAID TO REST The funeral of Mrs. Clarissa Hooker, who died at her home. 517 N. Dallas street last Saturday, fallowing a lingering illness, was held at Asbury M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. George E. Curry officiated. The deceased was 67 years of age, and was active in church and fraternal work. She is survived her husband, Henry R. Hooker. "DRYS" WIN IN ST. MARYS COUNTY Colored Vote Determining Factor in Eliminating Saloons in Stronghold of Liquor Interests. Leonardtown, Md., August 5.—St. Mary's county went "dry" in a hotly contested election Tuesday, the "drys" winning out by a majority of 553 votes. The whites made vigorous campaign, but no less vigorous was that made colored ministers against the continuance of the saloon. The "wets" thought that they could control the majority of the colored votes, but effective work brought the big majority of colored people into the "dry camp." Every district in the county was canvassed, meetings being held in halls at cross roads and in stores. L. Branch and Revs. D. D. Turpeau, W. A. C. Hughes, E. S. Williams and A. C. Garner were the speakers at the colored meetings. They attacked the liquor interests as being inimical to the progress of the race, pointed out the economic and moral disadvantages of being a user of strong drinks and urged that the money spent in drink be used in looking after the needs of individuals. Feeling ran so high here that Drs. Hughes and Turpeau were threatened with violence, and Mr. Branch and Rev. Garner had to fight it out with a crowd of drunks at Chapico. The law abolishing the saloon goes into effect next May and is believed to be a godsend to the county. COUNCILMAN CUMMINGS ILL AT MERCY HOSPITAL City Councilman Harry S. Cummings is at the Mercy Hospital undergoing treatment for a general breakdown. He has not been in robust health for sometime and his campaign for reelection last spring greatly weakened him. He has been missing from his office for the past five weeks, having been ill. A call at the hospital Friday afternoon elicited the information that Mr. Cummings is improving rapidly and will probably be out within the next week. Mr. Cummings has served 12 years in the City Council. Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY CHARGED WITH THEFT Montclair, N. J., August 5.—Clarence Foster, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was looked up Tuesday night, charged with stealing from the Harrison Market. The Y. M. C. A., of which Foster is secretary, occupies the upper floor of the building on Bloomfield avenue, while the market is in the basement. The market people claim that they have been missing things stored in the cellar for some time, and when watching this week, saw Foster emerge, carrying a lot of vegetables. Foster's brother-in-law, who is a letter carrier, furnished bond and secured his relief. Foster, besides being secretary of the Association is a minister and a graduate of Southern University. He receives a salary of $750 a year, and his wife, who was Miss Alice Hooe, is said to be well to do. LAWYER STIRS NEGROPHOBES Mr. Clarke Smith Moves Into Fine Residence on Presstman Street And Poor Whites on McCulloh St. Are Peeved. Segregationists were up in arms this week when they learned that Attorney Clarke L. Smith had moved his family into the fine home on the northeast corner of Presstman and McCulloh streets. Mr. Smith bought the property and that adjoining at 2003 McCulloh street at public action several weeks ago. The dwelling into which Mr. Smith moved has its entrance at 406 Presstma street. Owing to the fact that white Geniles began to move away a few years ago, property on McCulloh street has declined in value. Mos. of the residents are Hebrews of the middle grade. So hard has it been to rent some houses in the block that several have been offered for $22 a month. This is much less than colored people would have to pay if the houses were rented to them. As soon as Mr. Smith moved in Monday the police were notified and they came in gurnur. Mr. Smith told them he believed he was well within his legal rights and if they did not so agree then swear out a warrant for him. The last tax bill for the dwelling was for 2001 McCulloh street, while the bill from the City water department was for 406 Presstman street which number the house bears. This mixup on the part of the City makes it harder to invoke the Segregation law. The State's Attorney's office was apprised of the occupancy of the house by Mr. Smith. A conference between Mr. Smith and one of the attaches of the office was held Tuesday, and Mr. Smith was advised to submit to a technical arrest in order to let it cleared up under the segregation law whether or not he has the right to live in the new location. He refused to agree to such a proposition, it is said, saying that he believed that he was fully within his legal rights in occupying the dwelling. WILL FIGHT TO KEEP MONEY FOR LIBERIA The American Colonization Society will most likely fight the suit petition that was filed in the Circuit Court last Friday asking that the trust fund that the late Caroline Donovan created for Liberia be dissolved on the ground that American Negroes were no longer applicants for aid in reaching the little West African Republic. The petition is directed against Ferdinand C. Latrobe, Jr., son of the former Mayor, and James M. Harvey, Jr., who succeeded their father as trustees of the fund, as well as the Society. A gentleman in close touch with leading officials of the American Colonization Society is the au hority for the belief hat the Society will fight the petition Only to years ago the Society turned over $67,000 of accrued interest from the Donovan fund for Liberian education. As a result the Caroline Donovan Institute has been established at Bassa, Liberia, with Dr. John H. Reid as president. The dissolution of the trust would greatly hamper the American Colonization in its educational work for Lberia. Ours is the best advertising medium in Maryland. PRICE THREE CENTS PROTEST AGAINST BIRTH OF NATION Prominent Citizens Object to the Presentation of Obnoxious Photo-Play in This A representative gathering of citizens, headed by Julius C. Johnson, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, filed a protest with the Police Board on last Friday against the production here of Thomas Dixon's prejudice-creating photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation." It was pointed out that the play grossly misrepresenting the attitude of the race during the Reconstruction period. It was said that race prejudice may be so inflamed by its presentation here that trouble between the white and colored people may result, as happened in Boston. It was pointed out that a number of places had barred the play on the ground that it was inaccurate as to historical facts and a hindrance to amicable relations between the races. President Daniel C. Ammidon, of the Police Board, told the delegation that it was not known here whether or not the play was as bad as claimed as it had never been presented here. He asserted that the protests of colored people would give the play unnecessary advertisement. He ventured the opinion that the Police Board would have the right to exclude a play unless it was shown to be vulgar or indecent. It was pointed out to President Ammidon that the Police Board had refused to allow the presentation of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures on the alleged ground that they arouse race antagonism and that a colored religious body was refused permission to hold camp meeting on Wilkens avenue on the ground that some white people in the neighborhood may object. President Ammidon concluded the hearing by promising that the Board would take the protest under advisement.

Vodery, one of the best known women in the city, died at the home of her son, Harry A. Vodery, 1725 Orleans Street Monday morning. She had been ill for the past three months. The deceased was born in Cambridge, Md., 85 years ago, but came to this city when two years of age. She was educated at a Catholic school in southeast Baltimore. Mrs. Vodery was well known in church and charitable work, and for years was a member of Centennial M. E. Church. The late Frederick Douglass, always made her old home, 333 S. Caroline street, his headquarters when in Baltimore. It was largely through her influence that Douglass bought old Culker's Hall, on South Dallas street, and erected thereon a row of houses known as Douglass Row. Mrs. Vodery was widely read and could write with a firm and steady hand up until the time of her last illness. Mrs. Vodery's father was the late Capt. A. H. Peterson, who operated the first ferry between the foot of Broadway and Locust Point. She was for a number of years a teacher and enjoyed the distinction of having been the first teacher appointed in the local schools established by the Freedmen's Bureau after the Civil War. Four children—Mrs. S. J. C. Ralph, Miss Mary, Charles F. and Harry A. Vodery—survive. She also leaves three grandchildren, one of whom is Will H. Vodery, the song writer. Funeral services were held at Centennial M. E. Church, Thursday afternoon, Revs. N. M. Carroll and D. W. Hays, as well as other ministers officiating. A beautiful tribute was read from Rev. I. L. Thomas, who was unable to be present. The Commonwealth is the latest race journal to be published here.

Williams and S. A. Virgil, and Joseph Evans and Dr. E V. Stokes. DECLINES LEBERIAN POST DR. J. B. OLIVER E.&W.H. PYTHIANS HOLD SESSION Grand Officers Reports Show Progress Along the Line Solomon Tripp Elected rand Chancellor Hillsboro, Md., August 5.—The seventh annual session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, E. and W. H., of Maryland, was held here July 28th and 29th, and was presided over by Grand Chancellor Wm. I. Butter, Jr., of Baltimore. The sessions were held in the beautiful Castle Hall owned by Macco Lodge. At the opening session Wednesday, following prayer by Rev. O. P. Dickerson, of Odessa Lodge, Del. and the singing of the ode, the Grand Chancellor appointed the various committees, after which a recess of one hour was taken. When the session again convened, the report of the committee on credentials and returns was read. The report showed an increase of three hundred in the membership of the order during the year, and a corresponding increase in its financial condition, the Grand Lodge being able to meet all its obligations. The reports of the grand officers showed the order to be in a flourishing condition throughout the jurisdiction, while the report of the Grand Chancellor was an exhaustive review of the work done during the year. The session then JOHN H. HARRIS SOLOMON TRIPP adjourned until Thursday morning. adjourned until Thursday morning. In the afternoon, the delegates were guests at a baseball game and in the evening, a picnic in the grove, which was attended by fully five hundred persons. Supreme Chancellor Wm. A. Hawkins and Supreme Trustee Solomon Tripp were to have delivered addresses, but owing to a storm which arose, this part of the program was dispensed with. The session convened on Thursday morning to hear the reports of the various committees, and resolutions, many of which were very beneficial, and the reports of the several committees were of a most promising and encouraging nature. Following these reports the election of the various officers was gone into with the following result: G. C., Solomon Tripp, Baltimore, M.; G. V.C., Howard Simpson Middletown, Del.; G. Prelate, Rev. O. P.; Dickerson, Delaware City; G.M. of Exchequer, Augustus Fields, Baltimore; G. K. of R. and S., Andrew Brown, Kidgely, Md.; G. M. of F., W. E. McKimson, Baltimore; G. M. at A., W. E. Corney Goldsboro, Md.; G. O. G., Hughes Tuxon, Hillsboro, Md.; Supreme Representative, W. I. Butler, Jr., Baltimore; G. Medical Doctor, Dr. Thomas S. Hawkins, Baltimore. Mr. Solomon Tripp, who was elected Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, E. W. H. at its session last week, is, probably the foremost Pythian in the State. He has been connected with the order for the past thirty-three years, and is largely responsible for the spread of the order in the State. He served the old Grand Lodge of the E. and W. H. two terms as Grand Chancellor and liquidated a debt of $100 during the first six months of his administration, with the aid of George H. Carter, Nathan N. Ross, the late Wm. H Watson, Thomas J. Sampson, and the membership of Enterprise Lodge, No. 2, of which Mr. Tripp was a member and founder, and Lily of the Valley Court, of which he is still a member. Having accomplished this, he then started to build up the order, and formed a number of clubs in all parts of the city, especially East Baltimore, St. James Lodge being the first lodge he instituted in that section. During his term of office, Mr. Tripp appointed Rev. J. W. Jefferson, a Deputy for the Eastern Shore, and through his instruction, Rev. Jefferson was successful in instituting a number of lodges in that section. Mr. Tripp served three successive years as head of the Courts of Calanthe in Maryland and brought this branch of the order from a mere handful up to a high state of efficiency. Mr. Tripp is at present a member of every department of the order. Beside the positions already mentioned, he has served twice as representative to the Supreme Lodge, and in 1898 at Washington, he was elected Supreme Master of Exchequer, to succeed A. A. Kinner, of Cambridge. He held his position until 1905, when at the session in Kansas City, he was succeeded by George E. Gordon, of Chelsey, Mass. At this session he was elected Supreme Session which will be held in New Bedford, Mass. Thus it can be seen that the present success of the order in Maryland is very largely due to this old stalwart, who has ever been on the firing line, when the interests of Pythianism were concerned. GRAND COURT OF CALANTHE MEETS The fifth annual session of the Grand Court of Calanthe K. of P. of the E. and W. Hemisphers, Maryland and Delaware, convened in Good Hope Hall, W. Lexington street, Friday July 30, with G. W. C. Nettie Cain, presiding. After devotionals the G. Court was opened for the transaction of business. Reports were heard from all of the Grand Officers and from the Courts of the jurisdiction showing an increase of membership, two new Courts having been set apart during the year. The Courts are doing nicely and are looking forward to a large future with increased results. The G. W. R. of Dep. and G. W. R. of Deeds report showed the order's increase in finance. P. G. W. Sister Fannie Deshields was elected as our representative to the Supreme Session which will convene in Worcester, Mass., September G. After which the following officers were elected for the year. They were then installed by the S. P. W. C. Jennie H. Ross, assisted by P. G. W. C. Fannie Deshields. P. G. W. C., Fannie Deshields; G. W. C., Nettie Cain, Baltimore; G. W. A C., Martha Evans, Baltimore; G. W. O., Laura V. Garret, Baltimore; G. W. Register, Lillie Gibbs, Ridgely, Md.; C. W. Herald, Victoria Horsey, Middletown, Del.; C. W Protector, Sarah Swigert, Goldsboro, Md.; G. W. Conductress, Annie Dilks; G. W. R. of Deeds, Estelle C. Young, Baltimore; G. W. Organizers, Lillian Franklin and Lena Henson. The Court was closed in F. H. and L., until our next annual session. NEWS FROM TOWSON Towson, Md., August 5.—Mt. Calvary A. M. E. Church visited Mt. Olive Baptist Church last Sunday at 3:30 p. m.

With Mayor Curley of Boston out of the city, other officials refused to allow the Dixon's play management to drop advertisement pennants on Boston Common. To the penants twenty-five tickets to the "Birth of a Nation" were to be attached and dropped from a biplane passing over the Common. Boston has not succeeded in stopping the photo-play, nor has it ceased throwing obstacles in the way of its peaceful presentation. --- There is but one thing we would rather see than the many groups of children that crowd the sidewalks these hot evenings, and make the streets alive with their songs and games—that is more children. It will be harder to keep down fifteen million than it is to deny ten millions. In the weight of numbers lies the hope of ultimate freedom. In the Review (white) daily paper contest for the most popular colored citizen of Atlantic City, N. J., Miss Douglas, a hairdresser, of Kentucky avenue, was the winner. The prize was a trip to the Richmond Exposition. We are of the opinion that this represents a vote for Miss Douglas' profession as well. "The wig wearing, gum chewing, beer smelting, mouth runnings, street trotting, home neglecting, convention fever type of women are out of style, and from them may we soon be delivered", says Nannie Burroughs in a recent number of the "Worker." Her frankness is characteristic, and more than this, she is right. Reformed womanhood means the right kind of homes and the proper training of children. When the jitney bus line was started in Martinsburg, West Virginia, recently, colored passengers were refused admission. The colored people of the city retaliated by establishing a bus line of their own and patronizing it exclusively. As a result the owners of white buses have decided that color offers no barrier to whites and blacks riding together, and now solicit colored passengers. Meanwhile the four colored jitney buses continue to make money. By making themselves a general nuisance to the neighbors, some churches accomplish an amount of evil that far exceeds the good they do among their own congregations, for of what avail the salvation of a few if the medium of salvation drives a larger proportion to "cusing"? — Amsterdam News. It is not difficult to conceive that some congregations have not learned "the more excellent way" of worship but we submit that the way of reform lies not in external criticism, but rather in the intelligent instruction of the youth in the Sunday School, and various allied organizations. Youth may change, but old age never. Bishops J. S. Flipper, W. D. Chappelle, and J. M. Connor, of the A. M. E. Church appeal to the church body to sustain their action in leaving the recent Council of Bishops, which met at Wilberforce, June 17th, 1915. At this meeting, they affirm, Bishop John Hurst was made secretary of the Council in the place of Bishop Flipper, illegally and in order to humiliate the minority. Perhaps the majority of bishops was wrong, majorities sometimes are, the fact remains that unless there were an important principle at issue personal 'opinions should have been suppressed for the common good of the church they represent. The only question involved appears to be one of procedure which is of little moment beside the spectacle of disunion in the A. M. E. Church. Oklahoma offers to its white citizens a new profession—professional guardians of wealthy Negro children. The guardian is allowed ten per cent of what his ward is worth in money or property. Oklahoma boasts of thousands of Negro children with incomes from $500 to $8,000 per month, and since the county courts invariably appoint white guardians, we can accept the statement of the Tulsa, Oklahoma, Star as correct: there are hundreds of white men in this state who have become rich from the wealth of Negro children. The Harriet Tubman Memorial, of which we have a reproduction on another page, was erected at Auburn, N. Y. We are reminded of the monument of Frederick Douglass at Rochester, N. Y. Both Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass were born in Maryland, but no bronze or marble here keeps alive the memory of their labor of uplift and their successful achievement. "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country." "Will you love me, Eve," said Adam. "I don't care, A-dam." Such is the story says the New York Sun that accounts for the origin of our most used swear expression. If it is profane not to care a dam, then it is just as profane not to care a whiffet, a jabberwock, or any other unsanctioned word, puts in the New York Times, believing that we don't know what a damn is anyway, and further that when one says he don't care a hoop he is far more definite. We might accept an opinion that the expression simply means not to care a curse, and let it go at that, but idea forces itself upon us that as originally used the word was condemned, as an adjective, later shortened to damned and finally becoming itself noun, so that not to care a condemned thing became damned thing and eventually a damn. Haitian rebels promised United States to disarm when entering their own capital. An American yacht Eagle fired shots that kept the revolutionists out of Cape Haitan. American marines from the Connecticut occupied the national fort at Port au Prince without striking a blow. These are but a few of the dispatches of the week that tell of the American invasion of the island. Far be it from United States to pursue a policy of "watchful waiting" or arbitration first with the little republic at our front door. She has stood enough back talk from Mexico and the European powers, and here is a chance to get bad blood out of her system and at the same time display the efficiency of the Atlantic fleet. Haiti's rights—simply a "scrap of paper." Police Commissioner Amiddon is of the opinion that there should be non-censorship of movies just as there is freedom of speech in the press of the country, and if extremists want to "blow off their mouths," we but advertise their wares by protesting. His honor the justice clean forgot that suits for slander and libel offer redress against the press when it maliciously and untruthfully attacks character and there should be the same redress in the instance of slanderous photo-plays. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER A SUNDAY THOUGHT FOR OUR READERS THE MUSIC OF A GODLY LIFE Written especially for the Afro-American Ledger by Rev. Dr. W. Edward Williams Pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church The Christian life is synonymous Book. And at last the godly life with godly living. To live a godly will be in harmony with the bright life is to accept the Goo-man, and presence of God on the other side by faith live his life of obedience, when complete immortality is our purity and self-sacrificing service. 2. A godly life is in harmony To live as God would have us live, with itself. All the deep true Christ being our great example, as sympathies of the heart; all the well as our very life itself, high faculties of a pure mind This godly life—the life of a true Christian—is referred to in many ways and likened unto many things in Scripture; but nowhere is there a more beautiful representation of a godly life than that which compares it to music. The prophet of God speaks of the life of godly man as being music, or rather a song, for the lives of those around him. He states that the sinful men about him take his godly life and make it the theme of their talk. "It is their song." It was an age of sin. The whole nation had backslidden and was sinic "from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet." In such an age amid such a condition of sin, the life of one godly man stood out in such light that it awakened constant comment. The Prophet said, "In their sitting down and their rising up, they talk of me, I am their music." Lam. 3:63. Any life may become a song in the community. A godly life will surely be one. It may be a contemptuous song to some as was the Prophet's life; but to most a Christian, or godly life will be morally musical, to the joy and betterment of the community in which it is lived. Music is the emblem of harmony. Nature, especially material nature, is harmonious. The Scriptures speak of the morning stars singing together in the beginning of time, and it is no fanciful thought that makes all the sounds of the natural world but notes in one great song of praise to the Creator, God. When man fell by sin a discord was struck, the soul lost touch with God, and that discord has ever since been ajar in the harmony of every human life. Christ came to tune the human soul and to restore the lost harmony, and where He is accepted there is godly living, and that living is like music in that— 1. It is in harmony with God. Godly living means pure manhood and womanhood, and this is in harmony with all that is God like in thought and sentiment, and with all that is Christ-like in character and in work. Godly living is in harmony with the providence of God; with all that is happy or sad in the discipline of life; and above all it is in harmony with the inspired Truth of God, as revealed in history, character and in the Blessed AND NOW LUCIOUS IS A MUCH WISER MAN Lucious Locks is a faithful member of Metropolitan M. E. Church. He keeps up his obligations and believes in doing whatever his pastor bids him do, so when a tall brown-skinned man called at his home, 238 North Pine street and told him that Rev. John Holmes had sent him to get 50 cents to complete a fund to return him to his home, Lucious got out his money - bsg, produced a bright shiny half - dollar and sent the stranger on his way rejoicing. The swanger told Lucious that he had been employed on the race track, but had been sick at a local hospital. Upon recovering, his employer, he said, wanted to send him to a distant point, but as it was too far from home, he discharged, whereupon he was discharged. He said that Rev. Holmes and other ministers becoming interested in his case had started a fund to send him to his home and that said fund Mrs. W. J. Winston left the city this week to spend her vacation in Virginia visiting her cousin, Prof. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg and her brother, Dr. W. D. Woods, of Roanoke, Va. She was accompanied by her niece, Beatrice Woods and Mrs. Bertha Thomas, of Washington, wife of Lawyer Thomas. Mrs. Winston is the wife of Prof. Winston, president of the Lee and Hayes University and pastor of Wayland Baptist Church. to send him to his home and that said fund was shy 50 cents. When Locks called to see Rev. Holmes he was informed that he had been "stung." The crook is said to have been working the same scheme in this section for the past three weeks. He seems to have a fondness for members of Metropolitan M. E. Church altho several members of Perkiiins Square Baptist Church are said to have been "taken in." Book. And at last the godly life will be in harmony with the bright presence of God on the other side, when complete immortality is ours. 2. A godly life is in harmony with itself. All the deep true sympathies of the heart; all the high faculties of a pure mind exist only in a condition of self harmony when the life is Christ-like, godly. Sin is discord in self. Within the sinner there is constant strife and contention and unrest. When Satan sits at the keyboard of human life, it is a stranger's hand that strikes the keys. It is a malignant, not a sympathetic touch, and growing discord is the result. But a godly life is in communion with the Supreme Being. In the exercise of faith and prayer the good man finds harmony within, and thus with life attuned by devotion, a Master hand touches the keys and every power of the soul joins in the brym of life. 3. A godly life is in harmony with the highest and best good of the race. A sinful life is self-centered and moved only by selfish considerations, while a godly life, like charty, "seeketh not her own is not puffed up," but "sufferth long and is kind." Whatever is for the best good of others; wherever there is real reed of help; to that and there the strongest impulses of the nature of a godly man respond in sympathetic action. Thus the time, money and influence of a godly man are not his own to be used only for selfish ends, but are made subservient to the common good of all men. So you can see how appropriately the godly Jere miiah could say, "I am their music." For such a life, in harmony with God, and self, and the best good of others, is sure to be commented on wherever lived. All this may seem ideal but it can be made true an practical in every ones life. That which alone hinders is sin. Personal sins, petty sins, promising pleasure and giving pain; sins engendering strife and discord in our own and others lives. Christ, as of old, stands at the door of men's hearts, knocks and says, "If any man open the door I will come in." And many men know by a blessed experience that Christ can and will take possession of and live in the soul of the man who will let Him do so. And thus there will be victory over sin, peace and eternal satisfaction. His life in us, John, 17:23, "I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one." There is the music of life; oneness with God; possible to each one of us. God grant it to us now and ever. Amen. THEY HAVE NOT CAUGHT THIS SWINDLER YET Despite the fact that the police are looking for him, the white man who was reported in the Afro-American Ledger two weeks ago as trying to swindle sick colored people, is still trying to ensnare the unwary. His scheme is to find out the name and address of some sick person and then visit them and offer to get them into a sanitarium, for which $5 must be paid on account at once. In one or two cases he posed as a physician. Dr. E. M. Boyle, of 2130 N. Caroline street, who put the authorities "wise" as to the fraudulent nature of the man's scheme, says that sick people should beware of such strangers. STARLIGHT CARRIES ODD FELLOWS TO HAVRE DE GRACE The Odd Fellows had a big day at Havre de Grace Monday, the occasion being the excursion given by local affiliated branches of the order. The steamer Starlight was chartered for the occasion, and it was rumored that the excursionists would not be allowed to land because some of those who went on excursions to the town did not behave themselves, Captain Brown, of the steamer Starlight, wrote a letter to the Mayor and City Council of Havre de Grace explaining the character of these giving the excursion and assuring good order. Mayor Fahey sent Captain Brown a letter stating that the excursion would be allowed to land in view of the representations made. Odd Fellows' Field Day at Butler, Pa. The second annual field day of the First battalion Second patriarchal regiment of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Pittsburgh, was held at Alameda park, Butler, Pa., Monday, July 26.

CAPT. BROWN SOME SHOOTER As an aftermath of the Rod and Gun Club Shoot last mouth when Dr. R. G. Baker made the remarkable score of 48, Capt. George Brown gave an invitation-shoot Friday last to all local shooters, at Brown's Grove. A feature of the shoot was the performance of Capt. Brown, who as a novice made the fine run of 23 'birds', which was second to the marks of his guests. The ties will be played off the 20th of this month. Scores: R. H. Butlere, 25; Capt. Brown, 28; Rush Williams, Jerome Dolman, John Hasty, Henry Brown, R. G. Baker, W. T. Turner, Mr. Melca, and Benny Barney, each broke 16 birds; Capt. W. A. White, 14; Luther Tucker, 11; Dr. E. J.

DREW'S OPPONENT NOT TO RUN George Parker, crack spruiter of the Olympic Club and joint holder of the world's record of 22 1-5 seconds for the 220 yard dash will be unable to compete in the Amateur Athletic Champions at San Francisco on account of having sprained a tendon in a practice sprint Tuesday. Parker was looked upon to defeat Drew in the 220 yard dash and to give the little colored runner a tussel in the century run. BALTIMORE DEFEATED IN TENNIS TOURNAMENT A goodly sized crowd witnessed the matches between the tennis experts of Washington and Baltimore, at Druid Hill Park last Saturday afternoon. While the result was not unexpected, it was the belief of many that the Baltimore players had gained a point of adeptness at the game, that would bid fair to make the Washingtonians hustle to win. Of the three double matches that were played the locals took one, while in the singles Reckling alone came out victorious. The matches were played according to the ability of the players ie., best players first etc. In the first single match was between Ralph Cook of the local team and Clyde McDuffie of Washington. Cook showed signs of getting into the class with Jim Jeffries, and will evidently soon retire from the game, for his playing was way below his old time speed and he could not get his service to work or his loffets "across". McDuffie played a strong, and consistent game putting the ball in places that would cause his opponent to lose the most wind hoping thereby to wear him down. The results were McDuffie 6:6; Cook 1-3. John Wilkerson of the capital city team, and F. N. Cardoza of the locals, the "Mutt and Jeff" of the two teams were the next to hitch up. Wilkerson's great height and reach were barriers that this much shorter opponent could not overcome, for it seemed that no matter where he placed them the tall Washingtonian was there to smash them back over the net and make them bounce over the backstop. Both men were in fine form but Wilkerson put his natural advantages to too good use for the Baltimorean and won easily 6-0 and 6-2. In the next match between the two best "bets" of both cities, Winfort Braxton and "Tally" Holmes, the history of the present war merely repeated itself: Germany prepared, the Allies unprepared. Braxton was not in practice; Holmes was. The game had not gone very far before Braxton showed signs of weakening under the strain. Holmes' free and easy style simply "wore Braxton out", and had the local man completely winded by the end of the sets which favored the Washington man 6-4; 7-5. Had Braxton been in trim there might—but that's a different story. Ralph Reckling disposed of his much older opponent Fred Cook, brother of Ralph, in jig time, 6-3; 6-3. The former was in fine fettle and was all over the court, seemingly, at once. Another case of youth overcoming old age. H. S. McCard put up a good game against James Walker, of Washington, but the latter's playing was just a little superior to the former's and he won 6-4; 6-3. This match was one of the most interesting of those played. B. M. Rhetta of the locals and Harold Haynes were compelled to play three sets to decide their match. Haynes was easily the better player but Rhetta won his games by mere grit and determination. Haynes won the first set easily 6-2. Rhetta by a surprising reversal of form took the second by the same score, and was within one point of winning the third but being so near victory evidently made him nervous, while Haynes, ever calm and cool took advantage of this and won out 8-6. Cook and Braxton took the first set in the doubles while they were fresh but they lacked stamina in the rest of the games, and Holmes and Wilkerson always alert for any signs of weakness, smashed the balls back and forth over the court winning the next two sets 7-5; 6-3. Lack of team work on the part of Rhetta and Cardoza was the cause of them 'losing their sets against Haynes and McDuffie. They fought hard to stave off defeat however, but played loosing game all the while. Scores of winners: 6-3; 9-7; losers: 7-5. Reckling and Carl Murphy outplayed Walker and Cook in the last doubles; the latter helping to defeat themselves by the failure of getting their strokes to work. Reckling and Murphy will, with more practice make a good team, as both of them are fast, and know where to place the ball. Scores 6-4; 7-5. DEATH COMES TO DR. M. C. B. MASON His End Follows Sudden Sinking Spell. Wife; And Only Son At His Bedside On the same day when he thought his condition had improved so that he could be taken to his home in Cincinnati, Dr. M. C. B. Mason died at Johns Hopkins Hospital last Saturday from acute kidney trouble. The end came at 3.40 p. m. It had been planned to send him West on the train leaving at 3 p. m., but briends advised that he take a later train. A sinking spell came and the eloquent preacher was seen to be dying. His wife, Mrs. Mary Mason, and only son, Madison C. B. Mason, Jr., were at his bedside when end came. Three daughters also survive. Dr. Mason was born of slave parents in Louisiana in 1856. He was educated at New Orleans University and Gammon Theological Seminary, graduating from the latter school in 1891. He was then connected with the Freemen's Aid Society from 1892 to 1912, the last sixteen years of which he held the position of corresponding secretary. He was one of the best known ministers in the country and had delivered addresses all over the Union and abroad. He was several times mentioned for the bishopric. At the time of his death he was pastor of a church in Jacksonville, Fla. He resigned the position of organizer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to assume the pastorate. Brief funeral services were held at John Wesley M. E. Church last Sunday, after which the remains were shipped to Cincinnati for interment. Funeral services were held in Park Street M. E. Church, Cincinnati, Wednesday, a number of ministers taking part. Interment was in Price's Hill Cemetery. HOT SPELL INCREASES BATHS The hot spell brought out a large number of bathers at the Argyle avenue bathhouse. The patrons exceeded 4,100 in July, which is 300 more than in the corresponding month of last year. The portable baths at Hamburg, Warner and Fremont streets also report a good attendance. Tuesdays and Thursday are given over to females, while men and boys hold sway on the other days of the week. FISHERMEN TO MEET The Fishermen of Galilee of the E. and W.

THE COLONEL AT HUMAN BARBACUE Which Was Largely Attended By White People And Was Great- «ly Enjoved—Meets Many Prominent People at..midnight July g0th, and all seemed to enjoy themselves, yet I am, not prepared to say just how many of them got hold of the meat. lt was the:cooking of a human be- ing. ‘There were present mep. women and children of aii ages and sizes aod actually some of the women carried babies in their arms, I am not going to give any comment, but state facts and you can make your own comment. ‘Now you want to know where this took place? Well, you know because it has been in ail the daily papers. It happened in Temole, ‘fexas, It would be well to tell the erime for which this man was ac- cused, and then give account of the burning. It seems that the perple calling at the home of a family! (white) by the name of Grimes, found three children lying in pools of blood, and the mother and father unconscious in a like con- dition. The children were dead. Of. course it was the work of a Negro. and one must pay for it. Hence they started out to find one. ‘The folluwing will tell the store: Temple, July 30.—Will Stanley. the Negro arrested on a charge of being the man who murdered the three Grimes children last Wednes- day night and at the same t.me beat the parents into insensibility, was taken from the justice court room just at. midnight and was burned on the public square in the presence of thousands of men and women who had thronged the streets awaiting the outcome of the examination of the alleged accom- plices from Rogers tonight. ‘The two Negroes brought from Rogers had accompanied Stanley from Temple to that town the morning after the murders, but the stories told failed to implicate them in. the minds of “the com- mittee who questioned them to- night. The two Negroes brought from Rogers tonight were released after faeir examinution and told to leave ‘the city at once. The scene on the well lighted public square at the time of the burning of the Negro was unigue. ‘The mob had chosen an open space in which to build their pyre, this being sur- rounded by the mob yelling and cheering as they shoved the Negro into the flames. All about, the atreets were filled with pedestrians and automobiles loaded with fasci- nated on-lookers, The trees fring- ing the street on the side of the square nearest the incineration, were filied with boys, while scatier- ed through the throngs were many girls of tender age. REPEATEDLY SHOVED INTO FLAMES When Stanley was cast into the flames he struggled frantically to eseape, but was repeatedly shoved back. Several of those close enough to hear, said that Stanley confess- ed that he did the killing, claim- jng that he had been hired to do the deed. He begged to he per- mitted to live loog enough to teil all about it, but his admission of guilt was. all sufficient for those around the fire. A shot was fired, which some claim struck the struggling Negro. His struggles soon ceased and the gatherng be- gan‘to disperse. In a few minutes the square was practically desert- ed and the crowds-had vanished. ‘As the mob left the justice court building with their prisoner short- ly before midnight for the public square, a number of them went through alleys and side streets gathering dry goods boxes and any- thing they might find to make their fire. These were dragged to the square aad broken iato bits, Ig- niting a small pile of the kindling the mob threw: additional seraps on the pile until the flames rose to considerable height. After the fire had burned out, the rempante of the body were dragged out and hung to a telephone pole.”” I am now getting out of Texas, and have seen may things since have been ia the state.

Days, of Dallas, a little short and thick man, just as thick as he. is high, but is a leader of men and women, He has around him-about 40,000 of them, and he is bringing things to pass. It would be a pleasure to me to enter into details and teil you all I know about these things, but it would take up all the paper, and! shall have more to say in aputner letter. There is no need in a man trying to. tell all he knows in one writing. Rey. W. T. Vernon is no longer president of Campbell college, in Jackson, Miss., fur the trustees at a meeting held recently voted him out. This uctiou resulted in a big mass meeting held in the Pearl Street A.

They are not. satisfied with the amount of money charged for a visit to a sick patient in which they give no meciine, but go in collusion with the druggist to either overcharge the sick patient or fill the prescrip- tion with cheap drugs. The drug- gist is not going to lose his profit, and if the doctor holds the druggist up and won't let him have the prescription unless the druggist pays him for it, the druggist must either overcharge by paying the blood money or he tus: sell you an inferior medicine, which is poisonous to the stomach, and .in the end will kill you. Eleven of the forty-three doctors do not be- lieve in rebates, They give their patient the benefit of honest, elean. fresh drugs, so it is up to the public to use a doctor who does not believe in rebates, cheap drugs and poison, or send for a quack dollar hunter who cafes nothing for the worth of the medicine given their patients, “All people who want to SSS een; 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 everyoneelse.
