THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOL. XXIV. NO. 44 COMMENCEMENT OF HIGH SCHOOL Seventy-Four Graduates Receive Their Diplomas at The Lyric. C. C. FITZGERALD SPEAKS. In Address to Graduates He Urges Efficiency as Need Seventy-four graduates of the Colored High School received their diplomas at the Lyric Friday evening of this week. The exercises were largely attended. An orchestra furnished music as well as choruses by the school. The musical numbers included a production by S. Coleridge-Taylor and James Reeses Europe's "Social Call." Rev. George Alexander Griffiths, rector of S. Mary's Episcopal Church, delivered the invocation and benediction. The commencement exercises practically began last Sunday when Dr. Ernest Lyon preached a sermon to the graduates at John Wesley M. E. Church. The address to the graduates was delivered by C. C. Fitzgerald, a practicing attorney of this city. He made a resume of the history of the race in his country. He paid a tribute to the late Mayor Latrobe, the ate Councilman Hiram Watty, Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander and others who had worked for the upbuilding of he colored schools. The present city administration was also commended for its interest. In concluding, Mr. Fitzgerald said: "I would admonish you that this is an age of efficiency, and whatever you may take as your life's work you should know it thoroughly and do it well. Likewise remember that the soil the arts and the sciences, trade and commerce invite you to walk with them. When thousands of you enter these gates and thus reduce idleness and consequently crime, to the minimum, much of the race antagonisms and antipathies will disappear from our American life as the morning mist disappears before the awakening sun. I would advise also to study along with your Milton, Gladstone, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Lee, Grant, Wesley, Gildersleeve and a host of others of the white race, whose achievements have set a high water mark in the world's tide of progress, such Negroes as Toussaint L'Ouverture Benjamin Banneker, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Richard Allen, Scarborough, Coleridge Taylor, Crispus Attucks, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. For from such as these the youth of the race can draw inspiration, and their contribution to the work of the world is worthy of any people. worth of any man. "I want to especially enjoy the male portion of this class the duty of the duty of the young men and boys of the race to protect their women and their girls. No race is ready for its proper place in his world's work that does not cherish, honor and defend, with its life if need be, the virtue of its womanhood. "You have seen that at all times and in all sections we have had staunch friends who have earnestly striven to help us get upon our feet. And while it is only too true that we have not yet got all the things that are justly due, yet only the eternally and wilfully blind will fail to see the rising sun of righteousness, justice, opportunity and of hope just emerging from over the horizon. Let us, then grapple our friends to our breasts with hooks of steel and so deport ourselves that we shall draw to our side the lukewarm, the indifferent and even the antagonistic in such numbers as to pave the way for the dawning of that glorious day when every American, whether his ancestors came over on the Mayflower or not, whether his name have one or a dozen hyphens in it, or whether he be descended from the servants in the "House of Bondage" that that American shall have an equal chance—a man's chance—in the race of life, and be rewarded for his own worth rather han for some work of a dead grandfather." The annual commencement exercises of St. Peter Claver's School was held in the auditorium of the school building Thursday evening and was largely attended by the parents and friends of the graduating class. A playlet, "The Gipsy Queen," was rendered by members of the class and others. The following are the graduates: James Marshall, Civilia Alsdorf and Mary Williams. The address to the class was delivered by he pastor, Rev. Father J. J. Nally. EBENEZER HONORS DEPARTING PASTOR Ebenezer A. M. E. Church did itself proud host Monday night in the reception it tendered its former pastor, now Bishop I. N. Ross, D. D., of the 13th Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church. In addition to the large number of speakers and the splendid music furnished by the choir and several soloists, a purse of $50 was presented Bishop Ross besides a purse to Mrs. Ross. The occasion was a delightful one from all points of vision and will be remembered for many days to come as being one of the bright spots both in the history of the church and of Bishop and Mrs. Ross. The following speakers took part in the program: Opening address of welcome and speeding the departing guest Mr. Jeremiah Stafford; representing the citizens, J. H. Murphy; the ministry of the A. M. F. Church, Rev. Dr. John W. Norris, presiding elder of the Hagerstown District; representing the schools, Mr. George A. Owens; and Dr. J. Boley, representing the medical fraternity. Mrs. Stafford made the presentation address which was responded to by Bishop Ross in a feeling manner. Mrs. Ross also made an address in which she expressed her appreciation for the kindness of her friends in Baltimore. The music was under the direction of Prof. Henry, and a solo by the pastor, Rev. C. E. Stewart. Mr. Isaiah Smith was toastmaster, and introduced he several numbers in a style which proved him master of the position. The reception was under the auspices of all the organizations of the church, led by he Stewardesses and W. M. M. Society. PROMINENT COUPLE QUIETLY MARRIED Washington, June 20—Quietly and without the knowledge of their friend's Miss Lula Vashti Turley, a niece of the late Dr. John R. Francis, and only daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Turley became the bride of Mr. Carl James Murphy here today. The marriage has been expected for some time, but it was only today that announcements were received stating that the ceremony took place at 10.30 am, at the parsonage of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, officiating. A cousin of the bride, Mrs. Jane Freeman Booth and the groom's father were the only witnesses. Mrs. Murphy is well known here is a teacher in the public schools.

Hartford, Conn., June 22—Rev. C. F. Francis, who taught at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., from 1873 to 1894 died at his home in this city on Monday of last week. He was 68 years of age. Prof. Francis taught sysmatic theology and ethics and was a co-worker at the university with the first t president, Prof. Edmund Asa Ware, Prof. T. N. Chase and Dr. Horace Bumstead, the men who built up the schel COLORED TROOPS SHED FIRST BLOOD Hold Ground for Five Hours Against Superior Force of Mexicans. KILL MEXICAN GENERAL Chihuahua City, Mexico, June 22—Another story of heroism was added to he armals of American arms when the battle of Carrizal was fully told here today by Leim H. Spillbury, a Mormon scout, engaged by General J. J. Pershing. Spillbury was brought here with the seventeen troopers of the Tenh colored cavalry, a prisoner. He says that 65 American troopers held off 325 Mexicans for five hours and then did not retreat until reinforcements numbering several thousands were brought up. The scout also corrobed the Mexican official statement to the effect that the American commander, Captain Charles T. Boyd, was killed. A bullet struck him in the early part of the fight and he fell forward off his horse dead. Lieutenant Henry R. Adair was also killed according to the scouts story. The full details of Spillbury's story of the battle are lacking because he told it to General Trevino here and the Mexican officers repeated it to newspaper correspondents. As soon as the scout and the colored prisoners arrived they were "interred," as the Mexican commander called it. Spillbury was summoned before he General and later these details were given out. He said that he was with Troop II of the Tenth Cavalry, which was commanded by Captain Boyd. The commissioned officers with the troops included in addition Captain Moore and Lieutenant Adair. As the cavalrymen approached Carrizal, he said, they were met by a force of more than 325 Mexicans and a hot fight ensued. Although the American troopers were outnumbered three to one, they charged the Mexican machine gun with an abandon that the famous "light brigade" might have envied Captain Boyd fell early in the fight and Captain took command. The Mexican force gradually retreated after repened attacks by the colored troopers. This retreat however, was halted when a force of Mexicans was brought up to the relief of the badly pressed troops General Gomez. Despite the fact that the colored troopers were fighting an overwhelming force, they continued to hold the field for five hours. When heavy reinforcements began to arrive the cavalrymen deployed and took up a position behind a rise in the ground. The Mexicans are said to have moved to the attack, but they were repulsed. By this time the small force, small as it was at the beginning had scarcely a handful of men but under the encouraging shouts of the remaining commissioned officer, Captain Moore they did not retreat, but repulsed the Mexicans time and time again. The latter sent into Carrizal for more reinforcements. Spillbury said that above the din of the shots he could hear the trump of many feet. He put his ear to the ground and said that he calculated a relief force of perhaps several hundred men were on the way to relieve the Mexican forces. The Americans then charged with the result that seventeen of the troopers were captured. The reinforcements came up and the Americans who had again retreated to their position previously occupied, were forced to carry their wounded and retreat. Colored Men Not Wanted In the National Guard. Washington, June 23—The reported killing of a number of men of the Tenth Cavalry in the clash with Mexican troops, as well as the capture of some, occasioned much interest here. The United Sates Army has only two troops of colored infantry and two of cavalry. They were mustered in during the administration of President Johnson and there has been no increase since. According to rumor, no colored recruits are now being taken for these regiments, unless they are applicants for re-enlistment. The calling out of the militia of the various States brings out he fact that in but few of the commonwealths are colored men taken into the National Guard. As soon as the Democrats gained control of the Southern States several decades ago, they began dismantling the colored troops. Now, not one State south of the Potomac boasts of colored militia. Maryland has a company known as the First Separate Company, Connecticut has one of similar name, Ohio has a separate battalion, likewise the District of Columbia, while Illinois boasts of the Eighth Regiment. The latter two have been ordered out, the first to Fort Meyer, Va., and the last named to Springfield, Ill. The First Separate Company, of Maryland, considered to be one of the best in the National Guard, was not included in the call. PRINCIPAL MOTON Tuskegee, Ala., June 22d.—During the commencement season just closing Principal R. R. Moton, the newly installed head of Tuskegee Institute, has been the recipient of singularly conspicuous honors from three very important American institutions of learning. On Wednesday, May 31st, the degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon him, in absentia, by Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va.; on Wednesday, June 14, Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, conferred upon him the same degree; and on Thursday, June 15th, Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, paid him the same honor. At Oberlin College, the investment of Principal Moton with the doctor of laws is described by a correspondent as an impressive ceremony. Tuskegee's principal seems to have been easily the most favored of the candidates for honorary degrees. The correspondent states that no one was eulogized as was he; the applause was deafening and prolonged. He spoke for seven minutes at the alumni dinner and was received most enthusiastically. It is doubtful if and Negro educator has ever before received in one year the degree of doctor of laws from three such important schools. Letters from friends everywhere are being receivé by Dr. Moton congratulating him upon these well merited honors. Tuskegee Institute counts itself fortunate in being able to share with its principal in the unique distinction. --- BIG TIME AT REUNION The spirit of the alma mater ran high at the annual reunion of the Colored High School alumni association judging by the enthusiasm manifested at the Pennsylvania avenue A. M. E. Zion Church and the High School last Monday night. The "grads" turned out in large numbers—some in their teens and others who have long since stopped telling their ages. Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, Prof. George A. Owens and others were on the program to speak, but the class yell of the 1916 "infants" prevented their being heard. At the High School each class held a little reunion and "feed" of their own, and then a generat good time and intermingling of all wound up the evening just as the orchestra played "Home Sweet Home." FIRST COLORED TEACHER Pittsburg, Pa., June 22—Miss Eleanor Pulpress has been appointed as a teacher of the kindergarten in the Grand School. She is the first colored teacher to be appointed as a teacher in the schools of this city and the appointment was only made after a consistent fight had been conducted over her refusal of her application by he public school administration come and speeding the departed guest, SCHOOLS CLOSE FOR THE SUMMER Teachers and Pupils will Have Two Months of Rest and Recreation.

BALTIMORE, JUNE 24, 1916 Usual it is that those in charge of preparedness parades see to it that after the regular organizations and the section made up of miscellaneous clubs place at the end is provided for patriotic colored citizens. When it comes to charging an actual enemy, the about face will not be lacking and be colored section will be found with everyone else behind it. The scripture is thus fulfilled which states that "the last shall be first and the first shall be last" THE SEPARATE SCHOOL QUESTION. Baltimoreans have probably known that Philadelphia is going through the transitional stage from mixed to separate schools. If they have not known of it directly, then they must have surely heard of it indirectly thru the resignation of Messrs J. R. Paul Brock and Daniel Brooks from local schools to accept positions in the newly organized system there. What we in this city, who have enjoyed the "privilege" of separate schools since the war, might not have heard and might not know, is that the change is not taking place without quite a deal of protest on the part of many people, who hold that separate schools constitute a form of segregation as much to be deplored as the separate car system or any other form of "Jim crow." Both white and colored citizens of "the City of Brotherly Love" who are advocates of separate schools and colored teachers for them, point in a most convincing way to the excellent schools in this city, Washington and S. Louis in order to indicate what might be accomplished in the way of providing employment to large numbers of people as teachers. And it sounds convincing to say the least, when it can be said with truth that there are more than 600 persons who find employment in the public schools of the District of Columbia. Philadelphia is not far behind Washington in school population, so that the prospect of teacher employment is most alluring. The question of school attendance which, of course, depends upon community interest in the public school is touched upon by these same advocates, who remark the seeming lack of interest and the scattered attendance in the North, and the enthusiasm of the overcrowded Southern schools. For this last argument of the Philadelphia separatists, Dean Wm. Pickens of Morgan College, in his pamphlet, "The ultimate effects of Segregation and Discrimination," has a word on the other side: "Cincinnati, Washington and St. Louis have the best schools for the Negro in the United States, and it is significant that the percentage of attendance of colored children at these schools, is lower than at the mixed schools of Boston, Cleveland and New York. The percentages of attendance of Negro Children from ten to fourteen years of age are these: "In the segregated schools: Cincinnati, 83.1; Washington, 90.5; St. Louis 89.4." In the mixed schools: Boston, 95; Cleveland, 94; New York, 93.1. "These figures, made from the United States Census, indicate at least that even the best separate schools are unfavorable to the attendance of colored children. It is not to be supposed that colored children simply enjoy going to school with white children, where, in fact, they are woefully ostrasized, but it is rather to be supposed that the white school attracts colored people for the same reason why it would attract any people, because of its superior location and equipment. The low public school attendance in the South is due to heinon"iently located and miserably equipped, school houses." Dean Pickens might have gone further along this line and showed that up to twenty years of age the average school attendance in the North, including New England, the Middle Atlantic, East and West North Central States is 59.2; for the South, that is, the South Alantic, the East and West South Central States, 47. He might have shown too, that despite the large number of high schools and colleges provided for Negroes alone in the South, the average attendance is but 3 higher than the attendance upon high schools and colleges in the North. At the time when this whole question of separate schools is under such a bitter discussion in our neighboring city, it is good to have this word from Dean Pickens. Not that it will keep segregation out of Philadelphia, for the schools are being turned over to colored people as fast as practicable, but that it sets the matter in its true light. Separate schools do not increase the schol attendance. The remaining argument of the Philadelphia separatists, is certainly hardly worthy of the name. It certainly is not advisable to abolish mixed schools merely to give employment to six hundred school teachers. DO WE NEED SWIMMING POOLS? The Washington Playground Association has recently opened for the first time a swimming pool for boys and girls at one end of the large play ground in LoDroit Park opposite the Freedmen's Hospital. After the exercises on the ball field and on the apparatus, the youngsters revel in the cool water of the tank. What is the matter with a swimming pool for Balti more, on the Druid Hill Park Playground, or better still, in the densely populated section of the Division St. School. As soon as the new Y. M. C. Ais erected, swimming facilities will be provided for those who will be able to join, but what of the many youngsters to whose parents a membership would not be a luxury but an impossibility. Aside from this, estimates based on the census figures of 1913, indicate that the number of persons who meet death every summer from accidental drowning approximate 9000 in the Northern States alone. Every year our local papers chronicle 20 to 25 drownings in the basin, and there are as many more that escape public notice. The fact alone is a significant reason for the establishment of supervised swimming, whether the pool is small with an original outlay of $1,400 or more elaborate like the Paterson Park structure. RECORDER OF DEEDS For two years the office of Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia has been vacant. Recently President Wilson sent to the Senate the nomination of John F. Costello, white, a Democratic National Committee man for the District. Washington local papers have taken the stand for a long time that this position should go to a resident of the District of Columbia, and it was in deference to this created public interest and sentiment that the President named Costello. The Washington Star congratulates the administration that finally it has nominated "a personality acceptable to the largest number of Washington people." Since President Garfield appointed Frederick Douglass Recorder of Deeds thirty years ago notable men like J. Monroe Trotter, father of the present editor of he Boston Guardian; C. H. J. Taylor, Henry P. Cheatam, John C. Dancy and Henry Lincoln Johnson, have filled this office in the order named. It was expected that a white man would be named in the place of the many other candidates for the position, led by James Ross, of Buffalo, because the office of Register of the Treasury, regarded since 1881 as an office to which colored men only were eligible, was eagerly sought by numerous white candidates and fell finally to an Indian. This failure of the chief executive to name a colored man, while it violates a precedent of twenty years or more, should occasion no surprise. In spite of the rather rash campaign promises made to Bishop Walters as a bait for the colored vote in 1912, President Wilson has named but two men for office, James L. Curtis, Minister to Liberia, and Robert Terrell to the District Municipal Bench. Assistant District Attorney, Auditor of the Navy, consuls, collectors of port—in these and other offices, the sign has been posted during the whole administration. Including the position of the Minister of Haiti, seventeen offices representing over $65,000 in salaries have been taken from colored men and given to white patrons in three years. It is to be wondered what bait the Democratic party will hold for colored voters in 1916. THE FORUM THE UNITED CHARITIES Mr. Editor: Your editorial last week with respect to a federation of Afro-American charities was most timely and in the right spirit. It seems to me that if the presidents of the following charities would get together and confer, some suitable scheme might be worked out with great benefit to all of the institutions as well as to the charity to public. The institutions in mind are: The Day Nursery, The Fresh Air Circle, The Baptist Orphanage, The St. Mary's Country Home, The Maryland Home for Friendless Children, Prodident Hospital, The Bethel Home and The M. E. Home for the Aged and Infirm and any others which by right should be admitted. I would name two very distinct benefits which would be secured by such a federation: First, some agent could be secured who could systematically labor for the united charities. Second, the aid of the public could be secured, at various intervals during the year, in large entertainments for the benefit of all-united in the federation. Such a program would not interfere at all with individuals, or societies who might specify their gifts for certain institutions of the group. The greatest hindrances of such a federation lies in the peculiar selfishness of many of the friends of the several charities. Such are altogether wrong in their view, but it is an obstacle, and a most formidable one. If those who are chiefly concerned would come together and exchange ideas, and get the experience and wisdom of such as are able to speak with authority, we believe such a formidable difficulty would be overcome. It is nothing short of a shame upon the race, with all of our enlightenment and progress that we have not reached the point where we can see most clearly that if we fail to hang together, we shall certainly hang separately, to our own hurt. When such a united front is presented there can be no excuse from enlisting all Christian people to give their dollar or half-dollar, if no more, annually, to the United Charities of the race. And they will give; and each and every institution in the federation will receive more by such a systematic and united effort than is the case at present. Do our people ever think? Do they know the value of thought? If so, why do they not, more generally take advantage of your "Forum" and lay their views before the pubic? Especially the objectors to such a plan, we would like to know their objections, so that some way could be devised to accomplish a thing most desirable to all Christian people who give for "Jesus sake," an dnot for popularity or glory. UNCLE PHILIP To the Editor: No doubt, many of your readers are aware that for several years no colred man's name has appeared in the list of juries in the United States Court I happened to meet Judge John C. Rose, of that court, accidently, on the street cars, the first part of April. After talking upon other subjects I called his attention to the fact that no colored men's names were appearing on the juries any more. He seemed well aware of the fact. I told him I had thought of writing him about the matter and see if something could be done to reify that condition. He was glad that I had called his attention to the subject. He informed me that the United States Courts have a jury commission, one being the Clerks of the Court and the other an appointee. He said he would see the Clerks of the Court and have him to request me to send him a list of well-known colored men who would be likely to make good jurors. On the first of June, I received a request by phone that the Clerk of the Court would like to see me. Happening in the city, I went to his office and he asked for a list of colored men whose names hewould place in the box to be drawn as jurors. I could not at that time be impartial and be able to select a number of men who would be acceptable, as their names, ages and occupations are to be given. I referred the matter to one of our well-known business men, who was requested to send me a list of names and I would transmit them to him. There are not a large number of colored citizens that are affected by the United States Courts, as he mentioned, still I think it best for them to be listed as jurors in all of our courts. Fullerton, Md. FIRST ANNUAL FIELD DAY The first annual Field Day service among Maryland African Methodists was held at Handy A. M. E. Church, last Sunday, under the auspices of the lasts of the Pulpit telief Club of the church. The three services were very largely attended. Mrs. Carrie V.

The attention of parents is called to the exceptional opportunities offered by the summer schools. Pupils who have, through deficiencies, failed of promotion, may make up the same by attending the summer school, thereby avoiding the necessity of repeating a term of five months. The summer school, therefore, means a saving of money and labor to the parent as well as to the child. The elementary summer school begins Wednesday, July 5th, and is held daily, except Saturday and Sunday, until August 25th. There are two elementary summer schools: School 103, Division street near Lauvale, of which Mr. William H. Lee is principal; will hold its sessions from 8 a. m. to 12 School 105, Rogers avenue and Lexington street, of which Mr. H. Grafton Brown is principal, will be open from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. It is important that parents should send their children who desire to attend the summer school, promptly on the morning of July 6th, at which time the elementary schools will be organized. The summer school for high school pupils covers only a term of six weeks, from June 28th to August 6th. It is important that the pupil should enroll the first day, and attend regularly thereafter. The summer schools, elementary and high, offers a great opportunity to our boys and girls. It is to be hoped that the parents will see to it that proper use is made of them. TOWSON HAPPENINGS Towson, Md., June 22—Bishop I. N. Ross, preached at Mt. Calvary A. M. E Church las Sunday night.

Dear mother, dear mother, I miss you so. It is lonely and sad in the dark grave to lie. Could you only stay with me, I know God's Hand Guides you through death's shadow land. God has called you from your pain, Prayers and tears were all in vain We only know you slept away To reach the far shore of the Heavenly way But what was that music that stole o'er your ear, Enchaining your sense dispelling your fear Oh the angels are with you and you are not alone, They bore you safely to your dear Father's Home. The loved ones of yours who have gone on before Were waiting for you, on that beautiful shore; Jesus beckoned you to come, and you followed His call, It is only a little brook after all.

Bright, Secretary ```markdown ``` Texarkana, Ark.—I have been trying for a long time to be a Mason, but I have succeeded in getting into a new order, known as the Knights of Pythis. I have had the regular initiation and I am a full fledged Knight and get around as well in night as in day and the police will not ask me any questions when I give him the sign, token, grip and pass-word. These men have attracted my attention from time to time and I have had a great big desire to see them and be with them. I was glad indeed to get a letter from Dr. A. N. Prince, who is called the Grand Chancellor for the State of Texas, inviting me to be present at the dedication of their tabernacle and to visit the Grand Lodge in Dallas. So after writing to you my last letter I wont' right on to he place. If you remember, when I wrote to you last week I was in Prairie View, Texas. I went into Hemstead, preached for Rev. Dr. Gilmore of the M. E. Church and about 12.50 found me headed for Dallas. It was 7:30 Monday morning when the iron horse pulled me right into Dallas, and I got off with about 190 other people. A man came to me with a great big book and asked me if I was a representative. I told him I was not. Then he asked me if I had been "assigned" and not understanding that big word. I told him I thought not, or that I did not know. He wanted to send me somewhere and I told him: I would see him later, then he told me that I was looking for a saloon or Mack Rodgers. I did not understand his statement and I got my soldier blood up and started to smash him, and then I thought how disgraceful that would be and I just called upon the Lord to forgive me. I waited until I had gotten myself together and then went over to see Rev. J. F. Williamson, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. I had him before and felt perfectly at home with him and his people. It was a source of pleasure to be there. His wife told me to be at home and his sisters, Miss Jessie and Miss Willie Williams were also cordial in their welcome. After being made welcome I went over to the Pythian Temple to receive an introduction into the order. I knew a little Pythian before and it was not so new to me, but the building was all new. A fine four story building, worth seeing, costing in all about $116,000 and completed except the elevator, and it was turned over to the commission before I left. But there was a big man who failed to come to inspect it, hence it was not in use. Perhaps it would be well for me to tell you about the building. On the first floor is a drug store, barber shop, tailor shop, eating house or cafe and one office to rent. The second floor is filled with doctors, dentists, lawyers, insurance offices, real estate men; the grand lodge officers all have an office on the same floor. I looked and looked on these two floors and then I did shout right out "Glory to God in the highest." On the third floor are three large lodge rooms with ante rooms, four robing rooms, ten sets of lockers. One of the lodge rooms belong to and is devoted to the Dallas lodges. A large room is set aside for the Grand Court of Calanthe, and the third one is to be rented. Reaching the fourth floor, is located the grand lodge auditorium and one of the finest and best lighted in the entire country. The man who planned this building certainly knew his business and a little of the other people's business. W. Sidney Pittman is the man. He is the son-in-law of the late Booker T. Washington. The building is of brick and steel, being fireproof. It is finished on the outside with brown tapestry brick, laid in open struck joints and trimmed with richly moulded cement stone. The main entrance, at the centre, on Elm street, is flanked by two large columns, with appropriate cornice and center arch entrance of Doric design. Th entrance encloses a beautiful marble tiled vestibule. Well, it would take more time and space than I can give to telllyou about the building for I want to tell you about the experien-e I had and what I heard there in the grand lodge. I told them that I had been initiated one time, but thought it would not hurt to do it over. The grand unicener prepared me for the ordeal. I pulled off my shoes, put on a rubber suit, and was cast into a pool of water to swim or drown. When I got out I was then made to walk into a hot furnace to be baked a little and then after this I was knighted in the form. When Grand Chancellor Prince called the lodge to order I was inside and a man went around and took up all passes. I gave liverum and onions which permitted me to remain in. This is a great big grand lodge. I heard all the addresses on welcome on Monday night, and on Tuesday morning when they had fully opened, the Grand Chancellor made some remails right from the shoulder. He did not fail to speak right out in church so to speak. He told how a man was placed on the altar to die when he had done something for his race, but he was here to live and not die. He uncovered many little things and when he was through it looked like the men were going to shake the building down with their applause. of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor and Supreme Worthy Councilor of the Court of Calanthe; Roscoe C. Simmons, supreme speaker, orator and journalist. Simmons was on the program to make the dedicatory address. Green presided, and Jones made a big speech. You talk about walking about Zion well that is what young Simmons did. He is as limber as a jumping jack and as eloquent as an orator of way back yonder, when orators made the hair on your head, stand up. He is a young man and I can't see for the life of me how a man so young can speak so. Sometimes the people were laughing, sometimes they were crying and then at times they were shedding tears. I can't see how he did all of these things with one speech. Things moved along smoothly until it was announced that the time for the election had arrived. Past Grand Chancellor Mitchell presided. And they did make some piping hot speeches putting the candidates in nomination. It was declared by some that the Grand Chancellor would be defeated, and another elected because W. M. McDonald, known the world over as "Goose Neck Bill" had just returned from Chicago at the big Convention and knew how to sway big crowds and elect his man. So he got the floor and made some speech. He was applauded and applauded and named as his candidate Editor W. E. King of the Dallas Express. It was all over, one or two thought. L. B. Kincheon, A. S. Jackson and others spoke, but "Goose Neck Bill" had already carried the day. Roll was called and the Grand Lodge declared King elected by a large majority Next thing the news went out that someone had tapped "Goose Neck Bill" for his wallet containing $467. It got into the daily papers and a special was sent to the Afro-American telling the readers about it. But "Bill" got his money back in a mysterious way, Dr. Prince is in the saddle with all of the other officers. I will not be able to tell you about that parade. Miss Lillian Shaw, who is the public typewriter wrote my letters for me and believe me she is some writer. I had the pleasure of going home with W. H. Page, and of seeing his home. He has ten mules and horses not counting his automobiles. He is some ice dealer in Dallas., and I would like to talk more about him. He has a lovely home and a lovely wife. His son runs the automobile and runs it at will. I will let you hear from me another time and you can look for my next letter, for I am going to say some few things. Send me a letter to 5922 Aberdeen street, Chicago, Ill. STEPHEN CITY JOTTINGS Stephen City, Va., June 22—Gustavus Boyd was in Winchester a few days ago. Carroll Boyl will spend Sunday in Middletown.

CHARLES STEWART SPEAKS Agricultural and Mechanical College Founded by the Late William H. Councill Receives Warm Support From Both Races—Institution Makes Splendid Headway. Normal, Ala.—That the late William H. Councill, founder of the Agricultural and Mechanical college here, lives in the hearts of the people was shown by the results of the fine commencement recently held in the institution, at which Charles Stewart of Chicago, was the commencement speaker. A large PETER H. W. S. BUCHANAN. number of white friends of the late educator were present, including Miss Grace T. Walker, secretary to the McCormicks. For the past forty-one years this institution has been an important factor in racial development, and its former standard is kept up by the new president, Professor Walter S. Buchanan. The school was made famous by the late Mr. Councili. He put his life and all of his money into the institution and preached the doctrine of peace and good will, and upheld the idea of industrial as well as college education. His principles, in all essentials, embraced those things that represented the greatest good for the country through an amicable adjustment of all race matters. Professor Walter S. Buchanan, who is now the president of Normal, having been elected at the death of President Councill, is a representative of the younger men and advanced thought and ideas which he is putting into Normal and making it one of the greatest institutions in the south. This young man is one of the best trained men of his race and has been educated to his people and not away from them. He is perhaps the youngest president of an A. and M. college in the country, but he is making good and lifting up the young people. His own life and struggles are inspirations to them. He is a product of Tuskegee institute. It was at Tuskegee that he got his foundation, being inspired by the late Booker T. Washington, to be and do something worth while. He got the finishing touches of his education at Lloyd Training school, Boston, and at Harvard university'. Coming out of school, he accepted the position as southern agent for Tuskegee institute, and from there was elected president of an industrial school at Corona, Ala., where he did a great big work. When President Council died Professor Buchanan was selected out of many applicants for the position of president of the A. and M. college, although there were many men older than he who had more experience, but the board of control, composed of southern white men, saw in Mr. Buchanan the man needed for the place. Like his predecessor, President Buchanan is thoroughly wedded to the industrial idea and is struggling to make Normal stand more for industrial education than ever before and at the same time for higher education, for there were five to graduate from the college department this year. Theoretical and practical training are combined in the very important branches of horticulture, truck farming, fruit growing, stock raising and dairy farming.

TOURNAMENT STARTS AT DRUID HILL With the closing of the public schools and colleges, local athletics will be confined principally to baseball and tennis. ‘The numbr of udherents to the hatter branch of sport will be i the minority, while interest In the former will doubtless be more than city wide. Already a tournament is In progress among the local tennis players, and several matches have already: been de- cided. More than two dozen envies are carded for the tournament snd the finish will doubtless see some new faces among the champions, Dr, Lthetta has sprung the surprise of the season by defeating the hither- to unbeatable Eraxston, and has since Deen able to defend himself against all challengers. Whether he will emerge from the tournament @ cham- pion will be a question to be decided. Few of the younger heads give any promise of displacing the “old reads" ‘as nove of them have shown any par- ticularly bright form this season, and it is improbable that any will improve to such an extent as to be anywhere near striking distance of the chaa- pionship Ancther surprise was handed out the dopesters of the game Tuesday, when 1. N. Ross, Jr. administered a defeat to Dr. FP, N. Cardozo in two out of three sets It will be remembered that Cardozo and Reckling were bracketed for sev- ond place, and that Ross had ren afoul or Reekling earlier in theh sen- son, but had been unsuccessful in his attmpt to rout Reckling from that place. ‘The defeat of Cardozo thus gives Reckling a clear title to sec- ond position and forees Cardozo to a place in the scale from which he will have to fight hard if-he wishes to gain his former laureis. ‘Phe Monumental City Tennis Clud, under whose iusplees the tournament is being staged. is offering a beautiful cup trophy to the winner of the tour- nament to remain in his possession permanently only when he has won the city championship three years, All the players in the tournament are members of the club. ‘The Club will go to Washingten July Ist, to meet the Washington ¥.

By each organization bringing its quota of visitors the railroads will be in a posi- tion to concede the most liberal terms in the way of reduced fare and accom- ‘modations. Among the organizations which meet, in Kansas City in August are: Missouri State Grand Lodge of Masons, the Nutional Medical associa- tion, the National Allinnce of Postal Employees. the National Negro Busi- ness league, with its affiliated bodies— ‘the National Negro Press association, the National Negro Funeral Directors’ association, the National Negro In- surance association, the National Negro Retail Merelfants’ association and. the Nationa!

Since the first of the year the colored people of Kansas City bave been discussing plaus and forming preliminary organizations for the comfort dnd entertainment of the hundreds of visitors who will be thetr guests during the month of August. No small part of their attention ts centering around the coming meeting of the National Negro Business league, and our delegates may be assured a most cordial reception. Mr. Fortune J.

A unique program corer. ing a diversity of practical and hetpft subjects will be discussed, ‘The conservation of Negro health was a subject which our late president kept very close to his thoughts. “Races. like individuals, gennot do good work when half sick,” was one, of his favorite expressions. ‘The olfi- cers of the national organization have) felt that the members of the luge can do no Lettor thing fn perpetuating bis memory than to carry on. this im- portant. campaign for better health.
