No. 6 FINE HOSPITAL FOR RICHMOND To be Completed by April 1st, 1917, at a Cost of One Hundred Thousand Dollars Richmond, Va., September 28.—Noland and Baskerville, architects, have drafted plans for the colored department of the Memorial Hospital. The building will be the first of a group for which the public gave a big sum of money a few months ago. Work will start next week and it is hoped to have the building completed by April 1. The blue prints for the James H. Dooley for Contagious Diseases have not been finished. The colored department will be located on the lot at 1215-21 E. Marshall street, and will be seven stories high. The building will cost $100,000 and an additional $25,000 will be spent in giving it a modern equipment. There will be 148 beds. A nurse training school will be a feature. Colored nurses will care for patients under whites. White nurses will be their instructors. A post-graduate course will be offered also. Colored people employed in any line of work will be able to visit the hospital at stated times each week to ascertain as to whether or not they are in good physical condition. The community will be taught hygienic living and every effort made to show that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The plans accepted for the arrangement of the rooms as follows: Basement—Gas kitchen, diet kitchen nurses' dining room, patients' clothing rooms, rooms for maids and porters, housekeeper's office, linen room, store rooms, fumigating rooms and a refrigerating plant. First floor—Admitting room, thru which every patient will pass; emergency room, open twenty-four hours every day; waiting room, reception room, business office, school of nursing office, superintendent's office, pharmacy and Roentgen ray, pathological and bacteriological laboratories. Second and third floors (arranged alike.)—Two wards of twelve beds on each floor, four single rooms, nurses' utility room, dining-room for convalecents and a pantry connecting with the general kitchen. On the east front of each of the two floors will be sun porches with fire escapes at each end. Fourth floor—Maternity ward, with twelve beds; nursery, a ward with twelve cribs; two rooms for the isolation of suspected cases. Fifth floor—For private service. Twelve single rooms, four rooms containing two beds each. Sixth floor—Equipped like the fifth floor, but except in times of unusual emergency, will be used for the Negro training school. Seventh floor--operating suite. There will be no amphitheatres. There will be two private operating rooms, two anesthizing rooms; a central sterilizing room and other rooms for accessories. Two elevators will connect the operating rooms with all wards directly. The nurses' home will be five stories high. In the basement will be a laundry for the entire plant. On the first floor will be a library and assembly, reception and class rooms. The dining room will remain as at present in the main building. Accommodations for 108 nurses will be provided in the new home. There are sixty-three nurses in training here now, and many more applications are received than can be accepted. MINISTERIAL UNION At the monthly meeting of the Ministerial Union (white) at the Central Y. M. C. A. Building, Monday, September 25th, Rev. C. G. Cummings was invited to the platform by vote of the meeting for the purpose of representing the Dry Campaign among the colored people of the city. He emphasized the fact that the colored voter had always been on the right side of every moral issue. He referred to the movement of some years ago for a new order of things in the city courts. It was the Negro vote that brought success at that time to the fusion ticket and litted the judiciary from political influence. He also stated that the three times the amendments were up, which had for their purpose the eliminating of the colored man as a political factor and ushering in a one-party rule in the state, he was alive to his own interest and also that of the commonwealth. He assured them that with the proper enlightenment the colored voter could be depended upon to vote for a Dry Baltimore. BUSINESS EXCHANGE MEETS A largely attended meeting of the Colored Business Man's Exchange was held at the Exchange Building on Pennsylvania avenue on Thursday evening. The meeting was presided over by William H. Dodd, the president. Addresses were delivered by Captain George. W. Brown, J. Logan Jenkins, Dr. Arnold and J. H. Murphy, who read a paper an "Advertisage." FORMER HARVARD STARS TO DEFEND MURDERER Camden, N. J., September 27.—William H. Lewis and William Clarence Matthews, both former football stars at Harvard University and later assistant United District Attorneys at Boston, have been engaged to defend George E. Thompson, alias McCormick, who is in jail here for alleged participation in the killing of a keeper and the wounding of another at jail, when they effected an escape. Thompson was captured in Boston. Matthews, while assistant United States District Attorney, had secured his conviction for an alleged fraudulent scheme for which he served eighteen months. Just before the Boston police captured him he told Attorney Matthews he may need him as counsel in a big case. Matthews was here last Thursday to confer with his client. Thompson, whose third wife is a Hindoo woman, is a fatalist, and believes he will be electrocuted. He and a man named Ashbridge are being closely guarded. A big legal battle is expected, as both attorneys are able man. Lewis was assistant attorney general of the United States during the Taft administration. He was counsel for one of the men in the celebrated Mohr murder case in Providence. TO START FUND FOR Cincinnati, Ohio., Sept. 25.—In order to secure substantial financial support for Horace D. Slatter, well known newspaper correspondent, who is in Asheville, N. C., trying to regain his health, Dr. I. Garland Penn, of Cincinnati, corresponding secretary of the Freedman Ald Society, is fathering a movement to get a number of men to pledge one dollar a month during the winter months. Mr. Slatter was stricken with tuberculosis in June of last year while his wife was suffering with the same disease. Mrs. Slatter died last October. He has spent the greater portion of this year in Asheville with fairly satisfactory results, and besides what his friends send him from time to time, has been trying to support himself by writing a series of articles on "Men I Have Known," for the Baltimore Afro-American. During the fourteen and fifteen years he has been in active life, Mr. Slatter has done a great amount of publicity work for the race in Northern and Southern newspapers and magazines and has helped materially in creating favorable sentiment for the race. Those persons desiring to participate in the movement may write either Mr. Slatter, 28 Beech Hill street, Asheville, N. C., or Dr. I. Garand Penn, 220 W. Fourth street, Cincinnati, Ohio. MAX LOSE TWO MORE TEACHERS The poor salaries that Baltimore pays the teachers of the Colored High School may cause two more of the teachers to accept better paying positions elsewhere. James A. B. Callis, instructor in printing at the school has been offered a similar position at Howard University, Washington, it is said on reliable authority. D. O. W. Holmes, vice principal of the school, has been tendered the position of science instructor at the Dunbar High School. Washington. The salary is said to be several hundred dollars in advance of that received here. Mr. Holmes is one of the most efficient and popular teachers that have ever been connected with the school. PRETTY HOME WEDDING The residence of Mr. and W. T. Turner, 547 Laurens street, was the scene of a pretty wedding, when their daughter, Miss Mabel L. Turner, was married to Mr. Cortlandt Brown. The bride was very becoming attired in a gown of white tulle, trimmed with old point lace and carried bride's roses. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Edward Scott, grandfather of the groom. The bridesmaid, Miss Ethel A. Turner, a sister of the bride was attired in a gown of crepe de chene and carried a bouquet of white carnations. Mr. David Trussel acted as best man and Miss Clementine Murphy was the flower girl. The house was beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers. Following the ceremony a reception was held after which the happy couple left for their future home, 232 West Falls Road, West Roland Park. A number of handsome and useful presents were received. FORMER BAI/TIMOREAN DEAD Atlantic City, Sept. 25.—Mrs. Ellen Hill, a $^{7}$ former resident of Baltimore, died at the home of her daughter, Miss Caroline Hill, 208 N. Connecticut avenue last Saturday morning. She was 59 years of age. Mrs Hill had always been active in church work until six years ago when she came to this city in search of health. She was one of the charter members of St. Katherine's Episcopal Church, Baltimore. Services were conducted in this city by Rev. James N. Deaver, pastor of St. Augustine Church after which the remains were shipped to Baltimore for burial. Mrs. Hill is survived by six children, three boys and three girls, all of whom were present when the end came. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30; 1916 DUNBAR SCHOOL BEST IN WORLD Washington, Sept 28.—The Dunbar High School for colored students is another new school to be opened here October 2. It is said by school officials to be the largest, most up-to-date high school for the education of colored students in the world. The school is located on First street northwest, occupying the entire blocks between N and O streets. It is of red brick with white stone trimming. It is estimated that 1,117 pupils, several hundred more than have ever been enrolled, will attend the school at its opening. About 273 eighth grade graduates will register at the new building, 250 of them being enrolled in the academic department and the remainder in the business department. The business department will begin the year with 127 students. There are thirty-five class rooms in the building, three lecture rooms, six laboratories, and four domestic science rooms. In the library 500 volumes can be accommodated. A feature of the Dunbar School not to be found in any other school, is a music room, fitted with a piano player, a phonograph, and a grand piano, for the entertainment of visitors as well as pupils. Two gymnasiums, a rifle range, swimming pool, an armory for cadets, and two physical inspection rooms provide ample opportunity for athletic competition. A lunch room in the subbasement has a kitchen in which is prepared lunches for pupils and teachers. The increased enrollment results from the provision made for typewriting and shorthand rooms, the fitting out of a bookkeeping department, and the acquisition of a printing establishment, expected to publish all school papers. Best rooms for teachers are provided on each floor. The assembly hall, seating 1,500 persons, has a large stage with motion picture apparatus and a pipe organ. TO HOLD MEETING FOR WASHINGTON MEMORIAL With the coming of fall and the passing of hot weather, everybody is settling down to hard work and the citizens of this city are turning their attention again to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund of two million dollars. The colored people of Baltimore have pledged themselves to raise one per cent of the amount to be raised by colored people. This will be $2,500. Deciding upon a definite amount to be raised is one of the important things, because it outlines for the people just the amount of work they have before them. Besides it gives poise and dignity to the campaign in a city and affords better opportunity for organizing. At the monster mass meeting which will be held here on November 18th, there will be an excellent program and on that date the churches, schools, fraternal organizations, and the clubs and societies of various sorts will make their returns, following a whirlwind campaign of the city. Mr. Harry T Pratt, Dean William Pickens and other prominent Baltimore citizens have written most encouraging letters to Tuskegee Institute regarding the outlook for a successful effort. PROHIBITIONISTS PROHIBITIONISTS HOLD MASS MEETING A mass meeting in the interest of the Prohibition movement was held in the Metropolitan M. E Church. Wednesday night, under the auspices of the Women's Auxiliary of the Home Defenders Association, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president. Mrs. Handy introduced Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, pastor of the church, who after some introductory remarks, introduced Rev. W. M. Alexander, pastor of Sharon Baptist Church. Other addresses were delivered by Mrs. Emma Truxon, Mr. Arthur E. Warner, member of the Executive Board; Rev. J. M. Coggins, field secretary of the M. E Church. The speakers were hopeful and enthusiastic for a Dry Baltimore. The next meeting will be held next Thursday evening in Ames M. E Church. Dr./C. G. Cummings, chairman of the Home Defenders gave the men instructions concerning registering and voting. Forty men enrolled as voters for a Dry Baltimore. DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT Cleveland, O., Sept. 27—John W. Stanley, one of the oldest and most respected men in this city is dead at the age of 89 years. He was the first letter carrier to be appointed in this city. His funeral was held Monday afternoon and was in charge of Emmanuel Commandery. Knights Templar, of which he had been connected for a number of years. CHURCH WORKERS IN CONVENTION Philadelphia, Sept. 27—The thirty-second annual conference of Church Workers in the Protestant Episcopal Church among colored people held its opening session in the St. Michaels and All Angels Church, Forty-third and Walnut streets, last night. The conference will continue three days. One hundred and fifty delegates are present from all sections of the country. The sessions will be presided over by Arch deacon Henry L. Phillips. The address of wecome to the delegates was delivered by Bishop Rinelander. The annual sermon was delivered by Rev. Hutchins Bishop, of New York. This is regarded as one of the most important gatherings of colored Episcopalians ever held, as there is a matter of great importance to be considered, that of the recommendation of the election of a colored bishop at the forthcoming general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which convenes in St. Louis, Mo., October 11. If the legislation which is proposed is adopted, a colored priest will be elected by the House of Bishops as bishop of such district as will have its own convention and the deegates will be members of the general convention its bishop having a seat and full privileges in the House of Bishops. The strength of the colored Episcopal church consists of 198 churches, 250 priests and up to a few weeks ago one Suffragan Bishop, the late Bishop William Ferruson, of Liberia, Africa. The officers of the convention are: President, Rev. H. B. Deaney, of North Carolina; vice president, Rev. W. B. eLane, Massachusetts; corresponding secretary, Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr.; Maryland; treasurer, Rev. H. C. Nicholson, Philadelphia. Y. M. C. A. FALL OPENING The Young Men's Christian Association building, 1619 Druid Hill avenue was crowded with members Thursday evening at the fall opening of the Association. The welcome address was delivered by George Sumner Whyte and President James Hughes and Mr. Howard E. Young were also among the speakers. Secretary S. S. Booker made a number of announcements touching the work to be attempted during the coming winter and the declaration that within the next sixty days a definite announcement would be made as to a site for the new building was greeted with applause. During the summer a number of improvements have been made at the building, including the installation of bowing alleys, punching' bags and renovation of the pool tables. Following the addresses refreshments were served and the members made a tour of inspection of the building. Mr. Thomas H. Smith is chairman of the membership committee which had the meeting in charge. "AT BAY" CLEVERLY ACTED AT COLONIAL A "dandy good show" is just about the best term in our vocabulary, applicable to the play "At Bay" at the Colonial Theatre this week. The selection of characters in the play could hardly have been improved upon, and the portrayal of the several roles is especially pleasing. Aline Graham, played by Miss Inez Clough, who is in love with Captain Lawrence Holbrook, is the victim of a blackmailing lawyer, Judson Flagg. In a struggle at the latter's apartments for possession of a letter, Aline Graham stabs Flagg who dies. How Holbrook, who discovers his sweetheart has apparently committed the murder, tries to shield her from the clutches of the law provides an admirable vehicle for some excellent work on the part of the entire cast. Andrew V. E Bishop as Captain Holbrook has a long and rather difficult part but he manages it with pleasing skill and grace, his forceful delivery and masterful acting giving evidence of wonderful ability and training. Miss Clough is wonderful especially in her emotional moments and acts her part with elegance, and refinement. J. Francis Moores as the U. S. District Attorney has a strong part, and it can be said to his credit that he is eminently suited to it. His is a character that calls for finished acting and few if any better portrayals have ever been witnessed. H. S. Pryor in the dual role of lawyer and doctor proves his versatility in the acting of these two parts. As the cunning, conniving, blackmailing lawyer he is excellent. Luke Scott as the chief of U. S. Scout Service deserves especial mention for his good work. Will A. Cook does well as a priest, and so does Marie Young as maid. Others in the cast include Carlotte Freeman, Albert Jones, George E. Brown, Ruth Carr and Alice Wilkes. TALLY HOLMES MAKES GREAT TENNIS RECORD Talley Holmes clinched his right to the National lawn tennis championship when he easily disposed of Dan Monroe in three straight sets at the Drudl Hill Park last Saturday afternoon before an enthusiastic crowd of tennis fans. The event closed what was the most successful tournament ever held in this city and was under the auspices of the Monumental Clyt Tennis Club. "Winnie" Braxton, whom Baltimoreans had looked for to give Holmes battle in the finals, went down in the semi-finals before Monroe. This was by far the most exciting match during the week and ot until after 45 games had been played did the local champ bite the dust. The final score was 6-3, 11-13, 7-5. In the meanwhile, Holmes had disposed of his old rival, Wilkerson, in two straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. In the doubles, Holmes and Smith won the trophy by defeating Monroe and Freeman in three straight sets, HOLMES GREAT RECORD. BE SURE TO REGISTER .. There is an entirely new registration in the city this year, and persons who do not get their names on the new registration list will find that when they go to the polls in November they will not be allowed to vote. GET YOUR NAME ON THE REGISTRATION LIST. The next Registration days are October 10th and 11th. Don't fail. ON FEDERAL GRAND JURY Mr. William White has been appointed to serve on the Federal Grand Jury for the fall term. The fact that no colored man has served on this jury for a number of years was brought to the attention of Judge John C. Rose, by Dr. R. M. Hall, and Mr. White's appointment is the result of the correspondence between these two gentlemen. RANSOME SCORES WILSON Asbury Park, N. J., Sept. 27.—Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransome, editor of the A. M. E. Review, in an address here at the Educational Congress, of "Making a program for the Race." Among other things said: "The Negro should have an economic, educational, civic and political program. Politically we are in a bad way. The leaders of the race are not in the confidence of those who control the policies of the great parties. But they have the ear of the great parties and should speak in no uncertain tones. "President Wilson is out here at Shadow Lawn. It is rightly named Shadow Lawn for the solemn promises made to us four years ago have gone like a fleeting shadow until today, we know there is no substance in them. "Do not be confused or stampeed as between these competitors who are seeking your suffrage at the primaries. What we want is neither a free smoke, or a free drink or a free dinner, but the assurance of a larger freedom." A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING Easton, Md., Sept. 25.—A beautiful wedding was solemnized at Bethel A. M. E. Church on last Wednesday evening. The contracting parties being Miss Hattie E. Tilghman, a teacher in the public school, and Mr. Richard R. Nixon. The bride was handsomely gowned in white silk and Georgette Crepe with a long flowing veil of embroidered net and carried a large bouquet of white roses. The matron of honor, the brides's cousin, Mrs. Daisy Dobson, wore pink charmeuse with straps of georgette crepe and yoke of pink crystals and carried a bouquet of pink flowers.

They will reside at 221 Hanson street. PRICE THREE CENTS BOYS AND GIRLS BACK TO SCHOOL High School and Morgan College Crowded—Paralysis. Keeps Little Ones at Home. The Colored High School and the various elementary schools opened their doors for the regular school term on Monday morning, and while so usual the high school was crowded to its capacity, the elementary schools looked as if a cyclone had struck them. The reason was infantile paralysis. Owing to the prevalence of the disease, only the seventh and eighth grades were opened in the elementary schools. Netwithstanding all the teachers have reported for duty and are busily engaged in preparing schedules and getting things in "ship shape." PARALYISIS NOT ABATING That the classes for the young children will remain closed for some time to come seems to be the prevailing opinion. More cases of the dreaded disease have been reported this week than any previous week since its appearance in this city, and until there is at least some signs of abatement the schools will remain closed Up to Thursday afternoon of this week, eight positive cases of infantile paralysis have been reported among the colored people of the city. With the exception of Samuel Rice, aged 24 years, all of those affected have been children. All the houses where cases have been discovered have been placed under quarantine. The cases reported this week are as follows: Mary Henson, 638 Smith street; Joseph Williams, 155 Henriettn street; Samuel Rice, 1700 Etting street; John Ims, 1544 Argyle avenue; Wade Morroe, 1204 McElderry street; Burdett Mack, 2444 Oak street; William Nichols, 1400 Bowen alley and Mary Sembly, 616 West Lantavale street. At the Colored High School almost six hundred pupils were registered on the opening day, and while the number is not much in excess of last year, it is predicted that eventually the enrollment will exceed any in the history of the school. There have been few changes in the teaching force at the high school thus far. Miss Ann Smith, who for a number of years has been secretary to the principal of the school, has been elected a teacher in the commercial department, and Miss McCary has been made a substitute the Latin and English department. Miss McCary is a graduate of Howard and Columbia Universities. TRAINING. SCHOOL. At the teacher's training school, I located at Saratoga and Mount Ski Prof. Joseph Lockerman reports an enrollment of ninety thus far. This number, it is expected, will also be increased as soon as the infantile paralysis scare has abated somewhat. Morgan College opened Monday with a freshman class larger than any in the history, of the institution. All ready the accommodations for out-town students have been taxed to capacity and the officials are in quandry as to what provisions can be made for those who are expected to enter later. Several new courses have been added to the curriculum of the school and the prospects are for a highly successful year. NEW DUNBAR SCHOOL READY The new Paul Lawrence Dunbairn School, situated at the corner of arle line and Jefferson streets, has been completed and is now being occupied by the seventh and eighth grades. Appropriate dedicatory exercises will be held as soon as the ban has been raised from the other grades. Principal William Anderson is arriving at the program. NIGHT SCHOOS TO OPEN The night schools will open Monday night and a large enrollment is expected. At the High School, Punxylvania avenue and Dolphin streets courses will be offered in millimeters domestic science and woodwork as well as the academic courses. Pre-Mason A. Hawkins will be in charge and the school will be open Monday Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The elementary schools and the private ones.

C. was the 18th gession held in Washington, D. C. It has now passed into history and the men who attended it will some day be proud that they were in the session. Of course there were some old faces absent, and they will be for a long time, but then there were others there who took up the cause and pushed it right on to the front. Hon. 5. H. Morris was as happy as have ever seen him, and he certainly lives in the hearts of the people. He is one of the greatest men of this race He took time and prepared himself and his ability carired him up stairs to the bar: He has been in the legis- Jature in Ilinois, and believe me, he was a representative of his people while there. He was a man all over and made good while he was in the work. ‘Under him the Odd Fellows have gone forward and he so lives in the hearts of the people that he could just remain grand master all his life. They will do just what they think he would have them do. I am proud that I had the pleasure of seeing him. James F. Needham is the grand sec- retary, but I am not going to talk about ail of the grand officers, for they are all good and deserving men; and there was a big. representative from Ola Baltimore. Julius C. Johnsofi: the second man, is right from that city, And then I had the pleasure of meeting Superintendent Copeland, of Bethel Sunday School. I was delight- ed to have the pleasure of meeting ‘these men and looking into their faces. But while there was sunshine for many of the delegates, there were two who were not smiling when the B. M. €. closed, and I suppose it will be a few days before they will wear a gold ‘dust twin smile. For instance, Rev. E. P. Jones, who has been way up In the order for a long time, was set back for a few years to come, and who is to blame, I am not here to say Decause T do not now, but I do know ‘that he is as far from the grand mas- tetship'now, and will perhaps go to his grave wanting the job, : If you will remember one year ago Dr. Jones fell from grace—that is to ‘say he left his Odd Fellow calling and went following after the National Bap- tist Convention, and resulted in him hiaving a National Convention of his own. Well he got the convention, and went to work and solicited all the help he could get. It was that help which caused him to get in bad with the Odd Fellows, for he went.to Geor- gia, got Editor Davis and his paper which was distasteful to the Odd Fel- lows, so that Dr, Jones held his con- vention and then crossed the country from Kansas City to Washington, and while Hon. Ben Davis was making his speech in Kansas City, the men in ‘Washington were slating Dr. Jones to walk the plank, and when he got to ‘Washington Wednesday he was inform ed that he would no longer be a mem- ber of the sub-committee of manage- ment. He thought that this was a mistake. He discovered that the bal- Jot was made and his name was not written there. ‘The night of the election, his name was presented and they began to cast Votes and so ‘many ballots were read with his name off that he arose and asked to withdraw, especially after 198 votes from Georgia. were polled and not one for Dr. Jones. I do not know just what he will do now. Rev. ‘W. H. Mixon, of Alabama was left off in the sam& manner, Good-bye, Dr. Tones. . I remained there until the meeting was over and then I got myself to- gether Saturday. and, puled out. I went right thrrough to Chester, Pa., and spent the night at the home of Rev. J. R. Bennett. He is one Bap- tist minister that. is making good in his line of work. There is nothing put forth for the betterment of the race that he is not found in it. I sent him a quick letter, and he was at the stable to meet me and help me tote my things to his house. I spent the night and next morning which was Sunday, we were up on time and had breakfast and then I went to German- town in search of Germans, but did ‘not find any. But I did find Rev. J. ©: Brown, who has erected one fine “Baptist cuhreh In that place, 1 spoke for them Sunday morning and had dinner with him, and Sunday night “T.said ‘a few words at the A. M.

M. E. Ziou chureb, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, Washington, Weduesday and Thursday. Oct. 4-5. The league's meeting will be heid ow Friday. Oct. 6. Cheering uews is being received daily from many sections of the country of the active work being done to have delegates present iu large numbers when the conzress opens. The move- ment is a brond one, got up in the open Be as fo i OO WILLIAM MONNOE TROTTER, SECRETARY Sa ORAL EQUAL INGHTS LEAGUE, ee and led by the people themselves: henee the response to Dr. Gunner and Secretary W'. Monroe ‘Trotter's call is all tbe more liberal. It has also been announced that New York and Brook- lyn will send several representatives to the meeting armed with facts hitb- erto not published on movements inim- feal to our race. No better place could be selected for holding such a meeting than at the na- tion's capital. No better time could have been decided upon than the date here announced. The geographical lo- cation is very significant. From Wash- ington, almost in a direct line, is Ap- pomattox Court House, in Virginia. where the proud Lee was forced to surrender bis army after a long war to the wise and sagucious Grant, the Napoleon of the northern. army. And, again, ns a royal reminder to those who thin lightly about. our nativity and citizenship in this country, ‘there is Jamestown, Va., whose historic sig- nificance is too well known with ref- erence to the colored Anierican to need any comment whatsoever. ‘Phese points of national import ought to afford the delegates to the congress and those who deliver ad- Gresses both inspiration and ammuni- ton with which to make comparisons on the status vf the race at various times, beginning at Jamestown ceu- turies ago. then lead up to Appomat- tos, and then behold what manner of segregation with’ which the race is sur- rounded xt the citadel of freedom and Uberty. ‘fhe Rev. Mr. Gunner in the: final call says: “I appeal to our peuple in all sections to come together in a na. tional congress of colored Americans to roice the feelings und views of the race on the shameful conditions sur- rounding us and to‘ decide upon the most effectual ways aud means for combating color..segrezation and all otlier forms of color discrimination now practiced aguinst us. “The very xeneral and earnest re: sponse which the preliminary’ call, is- sued more thin a wunth ago, bus re- ceived is both gratifring and encour- aging. Particularly gratifying has been the favorable attitude of the colored newspapers fownrd this timely move: ment. The colored press seems to be unanimous in’ its. inforsement of the race congress iden. “Many letters of hearty and earnest indorsement that have been received from. men and women living in. vart- ous sections of our country, all urging that the. time ts ripe and most oppor- tune for n great setting together of our people in defense of their most sacred interests, show that the- call for a’ great race congross has: touched a responsive chord in the thought and hearts of onr people that is scarcely less than nation wide. * “The passion for liberty and the-de- termination to have it for ourselves seem to he growing among us, Our People seem as never before to be waking-uip to the necd and importance af earnest co-operation, “The scattered lenders, of 10.000.000 of oppressed colored Americans should get tozether and impress. the public mind with the fact of our growing de. termination :not to rewe'n talf slave in: this’ country. But we cannot do this without unity of plan and ‘heart ness in co-operation.” y SSD GE : _LEO-S, OSMAN Psychologer and Palmist “Dead send messages of hope from great Spirit World, declares.

BALTIMORE, SEPT. 30, 1916 Agricultural experts according to a recent statement, are experimenting with an odorless and tearless onion tender if they could not do something with the cabbage at the same time. ITHOUT THE NEGRO—A BANK-UPT SOUTH. Like Pharoah of old the South is not only refusing to allow colored lawers to migrate North, but is awakening to the seriousness of the situation of a South possibly, without Newes. In urging the police officials to do their best in preventing further codus, the Macon Telegraph concludes: "We must have the Negro in the South. Our whole industrial, commercial and agricultural structure has been built upon a black foundation. It is the best labor we have, the best labor we could have had. If we lose we go bankrupt." Continuing the telegraph states that matters of judghips and governorships ever are a mere magatelle compared to the real importance of the Negro exodus from Georgia, and that this exodus is the most important thing before the State day. In plain words, the loss of the coloured laborer means the loss of cheap labor. Five hundred thousand men are told to have left already according to some statistics and it is represented that the industrial condition in New York and Pennsylvania calls for at least two million more during the next year. Thoughtful persons will not give much credence to this bankruptcy argument of the Southern capitalist. They remember that the same argument in substance was used in 1860 that the Telegraph harps on today. Then there was the cry that the South would be bankrupted if the Negro were set free The truth is that the colored laborer does not care a rap if the South loses a cotton crop or not. Cotton does lorry him half as much as finding living wage and human treatment for himself and family. Last week a Georgia posse killed two colored men, one for murder and other for an insignificant offense, other colored folk, who got in the mothers' way are reported missing. Fifty men and women were arrested, charged with disorderly conduct, kept in jail overnight and subjected to fines heavy enough to run them in debt for two weeks, when not more than a dozen caused the disorder. This is the kind of treatment that makes any kind of wages in the North preferred to those paid in Georgia. If the South does not care to lose the major portion of its laborers, then as the New York Evening Post suggests, it has got to change its attitude toward the Negro in order to keep him. Says the Post, "If the Negro is the basis of the South's prosperity, that prosperity will be enormously advanced by giving the Negro the rights and privileges of all citizens." The assertion of Superintendent of Public Schools Koch to the Teachers' Institute that the colored schools of this city have the same curriculum (the whites, yet as shown by statistics, are not up to the same standard, is worth a little reflection. The fault, according to the Superintendent, lies with the teachers, and could be remedied by more earnest effort on the part of the teaching staff. Mr. Koch's criticism could hardly have been made at a better time and a better place, and doubtless it will have the effect of inciting earnest teachers to greater endeavors; yet this simple urging of the head of our schools will not take the place of a definite and practical campaign for efficient teachers. It is to be hoped that this statement of facts is but preliminary to the inauguration of a policy that will INSURE rather than URGE efficiency. To the credit of the present administration it must be said that the unpledid work being done by the Colored Training School gives at the outset at least candidates for teaching po- sitions that are as well trained as in the white Training School. Furthermore, since all teachers in the city schools must pass the same examinations to qualify, then at the beginning surely there is no difference in the teaching force of white and colored schools. It must follow of necessity, then, that the lower standard in the public schools is due to failure of the teachers to improve in their work after appointment. It is here that the Superintendent's new efficiency policy will need to begin, and our teachers be required to attend lectures, summer courses and worth while institutes. At the present time, any student of local conditions must admit that there is little incentive for the average teacher to improve in his work. During the past year there have been no demotions for lack of efficiency among the teachers, and a negligible number of promotions for efficiency. The teacher who is not ambitious keeps his job whether he improves or not, and if he does not go forward, he certainly does not go backward. It ought to be imperative in the future for a teacher to improve to hold his job, and for those who do make themselves better teachers, let the School Board make it worth their while by offering proportionate increase of salary. Many teachers are of the opinion that the establishment of a salary scheme providing for increases automatically or by examinations would solve the whole question of efficiency in the public schools. DIALECT AND BABY TALK The appointment of a committee of New York High School music teachers to ask music publishers to eliminate the dialect of such songs as "Dixie" changing the "de" and "nebber" to "the" and "never" has aroused a bit of protest and strangely enough, not from the colored people, who are responsible for the melodies and the dialect from the white South. The Atlanta Constitution expresses the opinion that such elimination would spoil the attraction of the only folk songs America has. Such songs changed or expurgated from our American song books robs them of their best, real, warmblooded sentimentality. Sentiment is worth more than grammar, it would have us believe, for "the youngsters get enough grammar, English, correct pronunciation drill during class periods. Let them "get back to earth betimes and indulge in a bit of real sentiment, real Americanism, when it comes time to sing." According to press accounts, Dr. Frank R. Rix, musical director of New York schools is said to have stated that "we want our children to learn pure English, not a dialect. . . . I think a change ought to be made throughout the country." It is to be doubted if children in the high school and grades have any appreciation of these dialect songs that they would not have singing them in pure English. It is the melody that charms them and we venture to assert that one set of words would be as good as another. More than this, repeated singing of dialect encourages its use, the very thing the school child ought to avoid. America wants a generation of purists and not a generation of loose talkers. Following the line of reasoning engaged in by the Atlanta Constitution, we wonder if it would advocate the use of baby talk to young children on the ground that the gain in sentiment over balances the consequent faulty enunciation that is sure to follow. Any cause that has to make false statements to bolster itself is in a bad way. All over the city is to be observed placards bearing the slogan: "Vote against Prohibition." and beside of them reasons are given why the people should vote against it. In nine cases out of ten, these supposed reasons are as false as false can be. Some of them are supposed to be quotations from prominent churchmen. The liquor interests up to the present have not advanced one single good reason why the use of liquor as a beverage should not be suppressed. Such phrases as "personal liberty" is rung with many changes. There is not a community anywhere, strictly speaking, where personal liberty prevails. Laws upon laws are passed by the proper authorities every year, and every good citizen is bound by them, and thus personal liberty is given up by the individual for the general good of the whole. And so at almost every turn, one finds one's self facing the sign "Thou shalt not." The sale of all kinds of narcotics is prohibited by law, and so, if one desires to commit suicide by poisoning he has trouble in procuring it and even then must be procured surreptitiously. These examples might be multiplied indefinitely. One must not expectorate on the sidewalk, and one must not even whip one's child without the law stepping in to a certain degree. And so what becomes of "personal liberty." The whole amount of the business is the liquor interests are, up against the real thing and sooner or later it will have to go the way of all things that have a demoralizing effect. If we're no merchants other than those on Eutaw street, colored people might well be pardoned for dealing with them, but there ARE others and where colored buyers will be accorded better treatment. There is no reason why we should lick the hand that smites us. Only where it is impossible for us to do otherwise ought we to submit to that class of merchants that do not appreciate our patronage. They are glad to get our money but when it comes to our rights that is another matter. As it is a well known fact that heretofore colored people could only get seats in the galleries of the several theatres, and in some of them no seats at all, the whites of this city, without hesitation, ought to welcome our having a theatre where we can go and be provided with comfortable seats, and where our money will pay for what we want. Just why they would attempt to deny us this privilege is hard to explain. The Jew, of all people, ought to be the last to offer proscription of any kind, for if there is a race that has borne the burden of race proscription (and is bearing it) it is the Jew, and so he ought to be the one to give a helping hand to those who are down, and try to lift them up. The Forum. The Forum. A. CORRECTION In your issue of the Afro-American of last week the following report of the M. E. Preschoer's Meeting appeared. "The booze evil was forgotten Wednesday by the Methodist Episcopal Ministerial Meeting when a wrangle took place over whether or not the ministers should give their endorsement to the Rev. C. G. Cummings by the Home Defender's Association as the leader among the colored people of the local option campaign." "Rev. M. J. Naylor opened the discussion, and declared that as the Home Defender's Association had not sought the cooperation and advice of colored ministers when Rev Cummings was appointed, they should not now be asked to endorse his being named. Revs. A. J. Mitchell, G. A. Davis, G. H. Goodrich, Joseph Wheeler an S. R. Hughes were among the others who spoke in a similar vein and the endorsement was not forthcoming." This was an unfortunate misrepresentation of the facts as they actually occurred, and at the meeting of the same body this week a resolution was adopted deploring misrepresentation and the undersigned were appointed a committee to draft the following correction and respectfully request the publication of the same. The facts are as follows: Rev. S. R. Hughes offered a resolution to the effect that it be the sense of the Preacher's Meeting that the Rev. J. N. C. Coggins could best serve the cause of temperance in the state by being allowed to operate independently rather than under the direction of the Home Defender's Committee. It was against this resolution that the gentlemen named above spoke: The endorsement of the leadership of the Rev. C. G. Cummings never once came before the meeting. It was the relation of Dr. Coggins and not Dr. Cummings that was discussed Committee: M. L. Naylor, A. J. Mitchell and G. E. Curry. The Chicago Broad Ax pays the following compliment to the Afro-American in its 21st anniversary number, published on September 9: "Saturday, August 26, Brother John H. Murphy, who has been the untiring editor of the Afro-American for the past 22 years, put forth the 25th anniversary edition of that publication, which was a hummer in every respect. "It consisted of 16 pages, well filled with good reading matter, illustrated with cuts and sketches of many of the most progressive men and women in that section of the country. "It was also chuck full of good advertisements from the front to the last page of that issue, which plainly shows that there is a strong force or power behind it—that Brother Murphy is a live wire in the newspaper world and that the Afro-American is one of the best and most enterprising newspapers in the country." We reciprocate the same sentiments to you, Brother Julius F. Taylor, and hope that the splendid 21st anniversary edition of the Boad-ax may be the forerunner of a period of greater power and prosperity and that your militant pen may accomplish more for racial good and self-respect in the future. 一 In last week's issue of the Afro-American there appeared an article account of the meeting of the M. E. Preachers' Meeting in which it was said that the meeting refused to indorse Rev. C. G. Cummings as chairman of the committee appointed to fight for Prohibition in this city. The reporter seems to have gotten his names mixed as there was no reference made to Rev. Mr. Cummings in this meeting, and the discussion was relative to a motion that Rev. Coggins' relation to the Home Defenders be severed and he operate independently of the same. The Afro-American takes pleasure in making the correction and in stating that it had no intention of attempting to hamper the work of Rev. Cummings or the Home Defenders' Association, but was publishing what the reporter had given believing at the time that the facts were as represented. John H. Gilmore died at the Mercy Hospital Tuesday from injuries received while working in a lumber yard where he had been employed for a number of years. His funeral took place from Asbury M. E. Church, East and Lexington streets, of which he had been recording steward for a number of years. The services were conducted by Rev. G. F. Curry, the pastor.

"Alright, sir, thank you." Dialogue between: Rev. Father Chas. R. Uncles and the subscription clerk in our office. Wednesday of last week, after which Father Uncles took a look through the plant, with which he was much pleased. Last season's most: notable contribution to: sincere and purposeful dramas was "The Natural Law," which enjoyed a remarkably, successful run at the Republic Theatre, New York, and which is to be the attraction at the Auditorium Theatre next week. The story of the play concerns Ruth Stanley, a young artist; who is engaged to a physician of mature years. During her fiance's absence in the West Ruth is commissioned to paint a lifesize portrait of Jack Bowling, a young athlete, who has been chosen to represent the American team in the Olympia games Marathon. Young Bowling is thrown constantly in the society of Ruth during the sittings: for the pictures and it is during these tete-a-tetes that the lure of youth for youth, begins to impel the two young people irresistibly. By the time the physician has returned Ruth finds that her senses have overwhelmed her feelings of obligation toward, her fiance and she tells him that she has transferred her affections to the younger man.

Brown DEATH OF MISS THENE PRICE The Maryland State Colored Graduate Nurses' Association learned with great sorrow of the death of Miss Irene C. Price, which occurred September 7th, 1916, at her home, in Springfield, Mass., after an illness of about three months. Miss Price was a graduate of Class 1911, freedress's hospital training school and practiced in Baltimore four years returning to her home each summer. Miss Price being a young woman of spandid character, by her apness for the work and her beautiful disposition, made her a place in the profession of nursing that cannot be nited and her loss will be keenly felt by all who knew her. Her untimely death has caused profound sorrow among her many, friends and especially among the physicians and nurses with whom she worked. The numerous patients for whom she has cared and to whom she always brought comfort and sunshine will always remember her with gratitude and affection. Her short life among us was one of continuous self sacrifice and devotion to the cause of nursing and the Association feels the loss of one of its most efficient members. The Maryland State Colored. Graduate Nurses' Association adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom has taken unto Himself, after much suffering our beloved friend and sister, Irene C. Price and Whereas we realize that in the loss of Miss Price the Association has lost one of its most energetic members, always present at the meetings except when duty called, untiring in her efforts toward the welfare of the Association, therefore, be it Resolved that, we bow in humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father knowing that He tooth all things well, that He makes no mistakes and that our loss is her infinite gain. Safely, safely, gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from pain, No more earthly griefs or fears, For the life so young and fair Now hath passed from earthly care, God, Himself the soul will keep, Giving His beloved sleep. Resolved that we extend to her relatives and friends our deepest sympathy for them in their great affection and. That a copy of these resolutions, be sent to her bereaved sister, placed on the minutes of the Association and published in the Afro-American. Mrs. Annie S. Johnson, President Mrs. Florence R.

MUSE who recently played, here in the "Third Degree" and here in the "Law," and who here, played, here this in the "Family Cupboard" was in town Sunday. He said on account of the "Smart Sail" playing here and New York it nissitated a set, back of about two weeks. It is always a pleasure to speak to this Baltimore boy, as it is an agreeable surprise to learn of the remarkable success he has had as an actor. The public and press concede that his greatest role was that of "The Master Mind." The celebrated actor, Mr. Edward Breeze, was invited to see him in this role as he is the man that created the part (a thousand dollars per week actor) and when the curtain fell, on the last act he said to his escort "If that lad was white it would be only a few years before he would be one of the highest salaried actors of the day. His voice alone has a magnetic power." The "Washington Bee" in commenting on the "Master Mud" said: "Mr. Muse is a finished elecutionist. His emulation is perfect, and his portrayal of the dual personality is found in the said. character was superb, a bit of art." The Baltimore clientile anticipate seeing him in the very near-future in this brilliant role. IN MEMORIAM **BROWN**—In loving remembrance of, William R. Brown, who departed this life, Sept. 16, 1916.

Labour! all labour is noble and holy; Let thy great deeds be thy prayers to thy God. Francis S. Osgood. SHOW TO MAKE MISSION WORK A SUCCESS Of the many works assigned our hands to do, there is no work so always needful as mission work. The hearts and hands actively engaged in true mission work, need feel that they are about the Master's bidding, that the field is wide and that new laborers are in demand. To make mission work a success, a prayerful consideration must be made of the large undertaking, a willingness to do what your hands find to do for upfit and soul saving. I advise men and women missionary societies being organized in all churches. The leaders of such societies should prayerfully think out plans, submit the same to the members, allowing each one to feel it his or her indispensable duty, to put into operation the plan submitted, and reporting the outcome of the plans to your monthly missionary meetings. Often the splendid reports, give impetus to all present, especially those that are thinking about taking active part in the work. Keep the spirit of enthusiasm for work high, allowing your zeal to be according to your knowledge. Keep a keen interest in foreign as well as Home Missions. Let your heart and mind be determined to help some one every day. Through prayer, concentration and perseverance, mission work will attain success wherever undertaken. E. H. Mack. Baltimore, Aug. 6, 1916. Dear Mrs. Purdy. I beg to say that indeed the Woman's Column is great. I have over enjoyed every word. I do wish the instructive Column continued suc- The above article is an echo of our Anniversary number received too late for publication. As the advice it contains is so good, I think those who are engaged in mission work and those not engaged may benefit by reading it. The letter is an extract of one received by the editress and for which she feels very grateful. I thank my dear reader most heartily for her encouraging letter. Margaret Black OUR DUTY I would love to know what is our duty? Every paper, every magazine is continually preaching on duty. Politics is to the front and the good white sister and brothers are patting us on the back with a lot of honeyed words thrown in telling us we are good fellows. Why? They want your vote, and they are grining, and bowing and scraping to get it. We might have fallen for such rot as they are giving us twenty-five or thirty years ago, but not today my good white brother and sister. The politicians are hot-footed after the men and the suffragettes for the women. We are willing to work, but we want a reward; we are not working for a little praise and a few dollars, we want the benefit of our work. If we fight for you and help you win, are you going to help us to fight segregation and all forms of Jim crowism? We are not taking anyone's ordinary word for it. It must come willingly and we must be shown. You might believe in equal rights, but are you going to help us to fight for equal rights. If not it is useless to call on us for help. Talk of the World's Greatest Battle, there is no greater battle than that to be fought by the Negro. To my idea the World's Greatest Battle today is the Negroes' battle against prejudice. Instead of diminishing it seems to be increasing, and with us there must be no discharge, no retreat, no armistice, it is a battle to be fought to the bitter end, with only one goal in sight and that is "Victory." That is our aim and our duty and if the politicians and the suffragists want the Negro women's help then they must come out and agree to help these Negro women to win their battle against prejudice and injustice. That is the only duty we recognize in the coming campaign and we are willing to fight for that end. Miss Esther Jones, of Washington was in the city last Sunday, as the guest of Miss Ruth Purnell, of 706 Mosher street. Mr. William H. Lee is spending three and a half months in Kent Co., on his vacation. Mrs. Charles Stockhouse, of Scranton, Pa., is visiting her mother and sister, 418 N. Gilmor street. Mrs. Frances Steen and her niece Mrs. Frances Henson have returned from a ten day visit to relatives in St. Marys County. Mr. Maceo Thomas, who graduated from the High School last spring, has gone to Lincoln University. MADAME X AT COLONIAL THEATRE Abbie Mitchell Plays Leading Role In Great French Play At Local Playhouse Next Week To say that Mme X set the New York public wild would be putting it mildly, the great success that attended this world-famous production from the pen of one of the literary lights of the French Republic. If Alexander Erisson contributed nothing else to the world than Mme. X, his name would receive a place in the Hall of Fame, for in this great vehicle which the colored players of the Quality Amusement Corporation will bring here next week embodies a theme that is appealing to men and women and women of every race all over the world. A student of human nature would have found much food for thought if he could have witnessed the large crowds that stormed the Lafayette theatre last week when Mme. X played to capacity. The story that could be written of those remarkable throngs that journeyed afternoon and night to witness this great production would be one that would tend to educate the masses and open the eyes of the classes to the strides being made by the colored man even in the dramatic field. Not since the opening of the Lafayette theatre in New York and the Howard in Washington and subsequently the Colonial in our city has drawn so well as Mine. X and for the first time in the history of the drama as it concerns the colored people there has not been a dissenting voice among those who had the good fortion to witness the play that Miss Abbie Mitchell has risen to emotional heights that surpasses anything done by any other colored woman along dramatic lines. Miss Mitchell's interpretation of the title part of this wonderful play is nothing short of the work of a genius, and the supporting company is one of the best. Mr. Tom Brown also comes in for a great share of praise at the hands of the critics, his work surprising even those who knew of his ability to interpret the part of Monsieur Floriot a wronged husband who in his wrist drives from his home the woman who afterwards sinks to the lowest depths of degradation and murders her lover in defense of a son of whom any mother might be proud. Mr. Walker Thompson, one of the finest looking men with the Lafayette Players, takes the part of Raymond Floriot in a manner that should make the heart of producer Winn feel proud, for there were many skeptics who thought the role too exacting to be handled by this ambitious young man. "Eabe" Townsend deserves special mention for the finished manner in which he handles his part. On the whole, the best show that appeared before a colored audience will be here next week and those who fail to see it will always have cause for regret.

Hill Street and 826 Druid Hill Av. ..Men I Have Known.. BY HORACE T. SLATTER [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. BISHOP ELIAS COTTRELL "I count him a great man who inhabits a higher world of thought into which other men rise with labor and difficulty; he has but to open his eyes to see things in a true light and in large relations whilst they must make painful corrections, and keep a vigilant eye on many sources of error. It costs a beautiful person no exertion to paint her image in our eyes; yet how splendid is that benefit. It costs no more for a wise soul to convey his quality to other men." This quotation from Emerson, I trust, answers some criticisms of individuals who have seen fit to differ from the estimates I have placed upon some of the characters in preceding articles of this series. I am frank to say that the estimates I have placed upon them are the results of my study of an experience with the men, and such estimates may be warped by my likes and dislikes. Nevertheless I have endeavored to approach this task with an open mind and the opinions expressed are truly and conscientiously mine. I may be blamed by many because I have not said mean things about any of the subjects. Nor shall I. There is enough of that done every day—entirely too much in this life of ours. If I had my life to live over again, much of the criticisms I have passed upon men and their work would be recalled. If however, the enconiums I have placed upon any of the foregoing have elicited differences of opinion, I hardly know what to expect now as I am about to discuss Bishop Elias Cottrell the hero of many battle, and a man who has been the storm centre in his church and many other phases of race life. I have known Bishop Cottrell intimately for a number of years, having traveled with him throughout Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana for six or seven years on his conferences and other religious and educational gatherings, and have found him to be, indeed, a leader of men. His is a very, very rugged character. He is ready at all times to fight for what he deems to be the right, and in his way has done a large amount of real service for his people. As a preacher, his fame has gone far and wide, into the remotest recesses of Arkansas and Mississippi, and he has his admirers by the thousands in these states. Bishop Cottrell's reputation is by no means confined to those two states. He enjoys national distinction by reason of his erection of the Mississippi Industrial College at Holly Springs, which was taken up by the Mississippi Conferences of the C. M. E. Church, under his leadership as a rebuke to Vardamanism. I first met Bishop Cottrell in Hopewell, Arkansas in 1907 where in response to his invitation, I had gone to undertake some publicity work upon his series of conferences that year. He then presided over the states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Because of floods in the Western Tennessee and Upper Arkansas regions, I was late reaching the seat of conference, and found on arriving that copies of the Christian Index, the official organ of the church, which contained a warning sent out to the C.M]E. Church against me by the Rev. T. J. Moppins, of Hopkinsville, Ky., had reached the conference ahead of me. Dr. Moppins was at that time pastor of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church at my home, and his warning was not so much of personal enmity against me, as it was a defense, as he thought, of a fellow minister. Every one knows, I presume, that among the Negro ministers, there is a sort of clamnishness that will make one fly to the defense of another, when one is attacked, even though the minister be in the wrong. Dr. Moppins was no better, no worse, than the times in which the lived. The article in question was called to the attention of the conference by the Rev. H. Bullock, who was then agent of the Publishing House at Jackson, a zealous and ardent partisan of his church and who did considerable pioneer work in his early ministry. Bro. Bullock has since died. This gave me an opportunity to tell why Dr. Moppins saw fit to warn the church against me, which briefly was to this effect: It was on Sunday night in Paducah, Ky., after the close of the Western Kentucky Conference, when a minister by the name of Anderson was brought to my room by two other ministers. It was late, and after filing my last copy by mail and telegraph to the out-of-town papers, I was preparing for bed. I resented the interruption, especially when I discovered that the man Anderson was drunk. His friends, Cotter and Parker, explained that they only sought to protect him, that he lived on the far side of town and could not reach his home in that condition. I finally permitted him to remain, giving him my bed and sleeping myself on a cot, which my landlady hastily provided. When the news of Anderson's condition got out in Hopkinson and was published in the newspapers there, Moppins, and his friend Parker, quite naturally supposed that I had put the information in the hands of the newspapers, even if I did not furnish the story. Hence Moppins' warning. It was learned afterward that Cotter made the story public. The explanation of these facts before the conference established my standing with them and I have had no friends more zealous and staunch than some of those men, also I have had no stronger enemies than some of them, and I was forced to make this explanation before the six conferences that year over which Bishop Cottrell presided, for the Christian Index is read by every minister in the connection. Bishop Cottrell was pleased with the explanation and assured me that I was welcome to his conferences. The work I did for him that year and the publicity given his educational propaganda sealed a friendship that has lasted throughout these years. Indeed as we traveled every autumn from conference to conference together, we were often taken for father and son, although there were some who could not understand why he was so handsome and I so homely. Brother Eulock and I too, got to be good friends and he lost some of his denominational prejudice to the extent that he would often permit me to take his books for him from conference to conference, while he was engaged elsewhere and sell them for him. It was while with Bishop Cottrell particularly that I learned to love Mississippi and Mississippiians so much a great extent. No man could follow Bishop Cottrell as I did without learning to see all that was good and heroic in those men of God, who worked so hard for their church and to build up a great school for the education of their children. Educational day at a Mississippi conference was a veritable love feast. Bishop Cottrell would begin the exercises by a set speech at the end of which there was scarcely a dry eye in the house. He was one speaker that I found it difficult to follow simply because I got too interested in what he was saying. I was fascinated by his appearance and by the earnestness and set expression in his countenance, by his strong and sturdy mien, by his flowing and hoary locks. No man could have been more interested in the race than he, and it always appeared to me to have been the most sinful thing for any one in the church to begin a color line fight. The blackest man in the C. M. E. Church could have manifested no more zeal and ardor for his people than did Bishop Cottrell—and at no time is it possible to tell Elias Cottrell from a white man. At the end of the address it was time to begin the rally. The rivalry among the presiding elders was keen, for everyone wanted to raise the largest sum of money for the Mississippi Industrial College. The result of all this campaigning was that within six years the two conferences in Mississippi had erected an institution that stood above all others in the connection in the value of its buildings and the extent of its equipment. The plant is easily worth $40,000 and out of the whole amount less than $3,000 has been contributed by white people. There is some interesting history connected with the founding of the M. I. College. Holly Springs is the home of Bishop Cottrell and a number of strong Mississippi leaders. The people are an intelligent, thrifty lot, drawn there by the presence of Rust University, a Methodist Episcopal school, and at that time by the presence of a State Normal School. James K. Vardaman emphasized his Negro hating proclivities by vetting the appropriation for the Holly Springs State Normal school, two months before commencement, and it was forced to close its doors. One can imagine what a pitiful sight this must have been, to have seen those poor Negro children robbed of their right to graduate and to receive some meagre training at the hands of the state. It was then that Bishop Cottrell determined to erect at Holly Springs an institution that would be a rebuke to Governor Vardaman. These six years, one conference after conference taught me much. It was a delight to sit in one of Bishop Cottrell's conferences and see the affection with which he was regarded by most of his ministers and the respect that all of them had for him. Bishop Cottrell differed from a number of Negro prelates. He never attempted to force his ministers and always in his address before the conference, told them to express themselves freely upon any subject without any fear that it would prejudice their appointments. He just as frankly let it be known that the ministers themselves made their appointments. He laid stress upon the salvation of souls, and nothing brought a sterner rebuke from him than for a young minister or a mission preacher to stand before the conference in rendering his report and state that he went to the place of his appointment and "found nothing there." - NOTE—Next week, continuing the article on Bishop Cottrell, Mr. Slatter discusses the issues leading up to, and the actual happenings at the Augusta General Conference of the Colored Methodist Church, in all of which Bishop Cottrell took a leading part in the defeat of the attempt to draw the color line in the church. Percell Smith, of Balitimore, Md., enlisted in the U. S. N. September 27, 1912, and was honorably discharged September 26, 1916 after serving four years on one ship, U. S. S. South Carolina. Mr. Smith will spend several days in Washington, D. C., after which he will spend several days with his uncle in Middlesex, Va. Miss S.

THE greatest of all human motives—Mother-Love—is the mainspring of "Madame X," and this is why this poignant, yet beautiful drama has so swept the playgoing world. For not only has Alexandre Bisson dealt with a topic ineffably dear to every man, woman and child, but he has given his theme a treatment that is marvelously striking and powerful and that is breathlessly interesting in its every moment. All things that are worthy and fine are in this masterpiece from the French; pathos, charm, humor that sparkles like champayne—even grim tragedy; all painted with so masterly a hand that one sees a kaleidoscopic picture of the human soul absolutely without equal elsewhere on the modern stage.
