--- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY VOL. XXV. No.14 PAY TRIBUTE TO DEAD EDUCATOR Nearly Two Thousand Attend Booker T. Washington Memorial Meeting at the Academy. $700 TO MEMORIAL FUND Dr. R. R. Moton, Emmet Scott and Dr. Wm. H. Welch Among those who Splendid tributes were paid to the great achievements of Dr. Booker T. Washington at the Academy of Music last Sunday afternoon, where more than two thousand white and colored persons attended a meeting in the interest of the $2,000,000 Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund that is being raised for Tuskegee Institute. The meeting was held under the auspices of a committee of prominent citizens, whose aim is to raise $2,500 of the $250,000 that is being raised among the colored people of this country toward the fund. The theatre was secured through the kindness of the Open Forum in foregoing its usual Sunday afternoon meeting there. Those who spoke included Emmett J. Scott, for eighteen years secretary to Dr. Washington; Dr. William H. Welch, the noted physician; Kev R. W. Hogue, a white Episcopal minister Dr. E. R. Moton, who succeeded the deceased educator as head of Tuskegee Institute and Prof. Mason A. Hawkins principal of the Colored High School. Bishop John Hurst presided. Mr. Scott gave an outline of the work and needs of Tuskegee Institute and said that the two million dollar memorial fund would be a fitting appreciation of the great services that Mr. Washington rendered the race and the nation. He said that Mr. Washington was intensely interested in the improvement of the conditions of the lowly among the race, and that he was a powerful figure in the adjustment of copitions between the two races. His address was full of praise and unselfish admiration for the life and work of his superior. He declared that as Mr. Washington had done so much for the race that $250,000 would be a small sum and should be raised as so many whites had signified their intention of helping to raise the remaining $1,750,000. Rev. Richard Hogue, who is a native of Alabama, declared that Mr. Washington in carrying the racial cause to the American people showed that he was a believer in the essence of democracy. He gave a vivid picture of the doubts, dangers and pitfalls that attended Mr. Washington's course in taking the cause of the race to the whole people, and declared that the deceased educator hod done so without prejudicing the cause of the race. The privileged classes and the apostles of the "invisible government" who believed that the people are not capable in judging what is 'best for them, he said, could learn much of democratic ideals from Mr. Washington's career. He said that Mr. Washington had a very large program, and succeeded in carrying it out in a large measure. DR. WELCH'S TRIBUTE Dr. Welch praised Booker Washington as "one of the most remarkable men of his day, and as a matter of fact he neds no memorial to perpetuate his name. The institution he founded at Tuskegee will ever remain his monument." He said that in a talk at the dedication of a building for the medical school of Howard University, in Washington, he talked with Dr. Washington and found him keenly interested in public health. One great need of the race, Dr. Welch went on to say, was well trained physicians and capable nurses. The medical school of Howard University, which, he said, was the best in the city of Washington, offered this training. He then mentioned Dr. Washington's literary activities and his humanitarian interests and declared that Baltimore should give generously to the memorial fund. Major Moton made a decided hit with the audience by anecdotes which punctuated his well received address. He said that he was glad that he is a member of a race which had problems to solve and had a future. The white man, he went on to say, had enjoyed a glorious past, and the Negro would have a glorious future. He also took a fling at those who demoaned the fact that they were Negroes. He praised Emmett Scott and the faculty of Tuskegee Institute for the loyal support that they had given him and made a plea for the memorial fund. Mason A. Hawkins told of the inspiration Mr. Washington's career had been to Baltimoreans and described his last visit here to address the Health Conference. Miss Constantia Reckling sang a solo, and the Alphan and Morgan Col- lege Glee Clubs sang several plantation melodies. Rev. Ernest Lyon had charge of the collection and $700 in cash and pledges was received. Mrs. Booker T. Washington sat in a box with Mrs. John Hurst, her hostess while here, and arose and bowed to the audience when attention to her presence was called. Mr. and Mrs. Francis H. Jencks, Miss Elizabeth Gillman, Bishop John Hurst, Dr. B. M. Rhetta and Harry T. Pratt gave $25 each and smaller sums swelled the total. "It is a fine meeting, and I am sorry that I will have to leave said Health Commissioner Blake just before the meeting adjourned. Dr. Moton and Mr. Scott both expressed gratification, saying it was the best meeting of its kind that had yet been held. TO CONTINUE CAMPAIGN The local committee at a meeting Monday afternoon decided to continue the campaign and will try to not only raise money in Baltimore but in the counties as well. Dr. William Pickens is chairman of the county committee. William L. Fitzgerald, 1206 Drudid Hill avenue, is the treasurer of the fund and will receive subscriptions large and small. While in the city Messrs. Scott and Moton were the guests of Bishop John Hurst. To Discuss Health At Next Conference Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Nov. 22.—The foundation for the success of the Tuskegee Negro Conference has been directed upon helpful, everyday discussions of matters of immediate and practical importance to the race and to the South, the land where the majority of these people live and must work out their future. The South is losing millions of dollars every year and the Negro race is seriously hampered in its progress because of sickness among the colored people. To equip the race to meet the conditions of the future with vigorous health and resisting power, it is essential that these fundamental laws of health be impressively brought to their attention and methods adopted to prevent the great waste from sickness brought on by ignorance and carelessness. It has therefore been decided to give considerable attention to the question of Negro Health at the next Tuskegee Conference, which is to be held at Tuskegee Institute, January 17 and 18 1917. Various national health organizations, the United States Government, the Alabama State Board of Health, and some of the largest insurance companies have been invited to send exhibits for the conference. A special free clinic will be held at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital during the two days' session and many prominent specialists will be present to assist Dr. Kenney. Among the persons invited to be present and speak during the conference are Mrs. G. H. Muthias, Diversification Agent of the Alabama Bankers' Association; Mr. Bruce Kenney, Secretary of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Dowling, the famous health specialist of Louisiana; Dr. J. E. McCullough, Secretary of the Southern Sociological Congress; Dr. A. M. Moore, who is doing splendid work among the Negro schools of North Carolina and Editor E. J. Davis of the Atlanta Independent. HELD MEMORIAL SERVICES Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 20—The Booker T. Washington Literary Society of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church held memorial services in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, this being the first anniversary of his death. The principal address was delivered by Rev. Samuel W. Bevan, pastor of the Lake Avenue Baptist Church a warm friend of the deceased educator. The meeting was largely attended by both races. TO WAGE $7,000 CAMPAIGN Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 20—The Second Baptist Church is making arrangements for a campaign to raise $7,000 for the purpose of making needed improvements upon the church property for the purpose of making it a social centre for the many activities of the race. More than $1,000 of the amount needed has already been contributed by the members of the church. Among the other things the pastor and congregation have in view is the taking care of the large influx of southern workers who are coming here in large numbers, who will be without home and church influence. It is proposed to make this a feature of the work to be accomplished. MARYLAND'S POPULATION IS INCREASING Washington, Nov. 23—According to the latest census report just issued, Maryland's population is showing a gratifying increase. The census for July 1, 1915 showed a population of 1,351,941; January 1, 1916, 1,357,374; July 1, 1918, 1,362,807, and by January 1, 1917, it is expected that the number will leach 1,358,240 or a total increase of 16.299 in eighteen months. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1916 SCHWAB WILL RACE A FAIR DEAL Efficiency the "Open Sesame" to Every Branch of His Industries, Says Joseph L. Ray, TENDERED A BANQUET. Prominent Citizens Listen to Encouraging Words from Steel King's Confiden- tial Man. While Charles M. Schwab was telling a representative group of white citizens at the Belvedere Tuesday night that the Bethlehem Steel Corporation intends spending $50,000,000 within the next three years in making Sparrows Point the greatest shipbuilding plant and the biggest steel-making center on the Atlantic seaboard, his confidential man, Joseph L. Ray, was at Pythian Castle assuring a group of representative colored men of the city that the company would employ men of the race without discrimination, and that it spelled a big industrial opportunity for the Negro. Mr. Ray was the guest of honor at a testimonial banquet given by a number of leading citizens, all anxious to bear first hand of Mr. Schwab's great plans, and of the great industrial opportunities it offered the race in the North. The banquet was in charge of Caterer Julius C. Johnson, and everyone was pleased with the splendid service he rendered. Speechmaking was indulged in during the serving of the appetizing menu, Prof. Carrington Davis acting as toastmaster, Glychrist Stewart, the New York attorney, was there and declared that Mr. Ray was a valued assistant to Mr. Schwab, C. E. James, a member of the executive board of the Boot and Shoe Workers' Union and a delegate from the Minnesota State Federation of Labor to the session of the American Federation of Labor, now being held here, was another visiting speaker. Mason A. Hawkins represented local educational interests. Attorney C. C. Fitzgerald spoke for the legal profession, Dr. W. H. Wright brought the greetings of the medical fraternity, J. H. Murphy, publisher of the Afro-American, declared that the race was intensely interested in Mr. Schwab's plans, as large numbers of cloaked men would be given employment at Sparrows Point. Bishop John Hurst, who responded for the clergy, said that the church was deeply interested in the question of the migration of colored labor northward since it affected religious work somewhat in the South, and imposed new duties in the North. He declared that every effort would be made to look after the moral and spiritual welfare of the men. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, who spoke on behalf of the city, said that he had long known Mr. Ray, and praised Mr. Schwab for his fine attitude toward Negro labor. Dr. William Pickens, of Morgan College, who spoke on "The College of the Future," declared a technological department would be a feature of each. All was attention when Mr. Ray arose to speak. Aceustomed to working in an atmosphere of big things, he astonished some of those present when he told of the immense possibilities that Negro labor now has in the North. GREETINGS FROM SCHWAB He was applauded vigorously when he said Mr. Schwab, though absent in body, was present in spirit, and had sent his greetings. He spoke, substantially, as follows: "I am greatly pleased that you are interested in the immense plans that Mr. Schwab has for your city. I can assure you that colored men who have learned skilled trades will be given every opportunity for employment, and that at the same, wages paid white men for the same work. There are over 5,000 colored men now employed at the steel works around Bethlehem, Pa, and there will be room for many more. The same will be true of Sparrows Point, where many colored men are now employed. "You may have no adequate idea of the great opportunity that skilled colored labor now has in the North. The European war has caused a cessation of immigration, and many skilled laborers have returned to Europe to fight for their native countries. Thousands of foreign-born citizens will return to Europe after the war, believing that the industrial opportunities that will come in the rehabilitation of their respective countries will be greater than those in the United States. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation and other big concerns can only then rely on Negro labor, and that is where our chance as a race comes in. "Thousands of colored men have emigrated from the South in the last few months, and have secured em- ployment at decidedly better wages than they received in that section of the country. At Birmingham, Ala., the colored people were employed at all kinds of skilled employment. Many of these are coming North and getting better employment in the same line. This is the golden opportunity for the race, as those behind the big corporations will hardy change them if they prove dependable in every way. "I would say also that the colored people of the North should take kindly to their brethren from the South. They should do everything possible for their uplift, and see that they get better homes. Better wages and better living conditions are what many from the South desire. We also should remember that many are leaving good homes in the South, only being attracted North by better civic conditions and better wages. Mr. Ray said that when someone asked him why there were a number of shooting and cutting scrapes among some colored men brought from the South to Harrisburg, Pa., to work in the steel mills, he replied that the same obtained among Huns and other classes of European labor formerly employed there, but was not given scare headlines in the newspapers. He promised that Mr. Schwab would do anything reasonable for the advancement of his laborers, morally and otherwise. Round after round of applause greeted his address. Mr. Ray has been with Mr. Schwab for thirty-two years and is intimately acquainted with the steelmakers' plans. Mr. Schwab trusts him implicitly, and frequently seeks his advice. Mr. Ray designed the $100,000 Pullman car of the steel migrate. He also drew the plans which made the observation car as comfortable to ride in winter as it is cool in summer. When an official of the Pullman company suggested that he ought to patent his "comfortable" observation car, he facetiously replied: "It is not necessary, as the company would steal it anyway." would steal it anyhow.

A football game was a feature of the last day. TAKES FIRM STAND AGAINST LYNCHING CITIZENS ARE AROUSED Pass Resolutions to Protect Lives of All Citizens Regardless of Their Color New York, Nov. 22.—Governor Richard I. Manning, of South Carolina, as a result of the recent lynching of Anthony Crawford, at Abbeville, has taken a stand which promises to clear the name of his state of the stigma which attached to it during the administration of his predecessor, the notorious Cole Please. Governor Manning, in a statement given out to the press on the day before election, says: "I was out of the state when the Abbeville lynching occurred. As soon as I heard of it I called Solicitor R. A. Cooper and Sheriff R. M. Burts of Abbeville to the office and called on Coroner F. W. R. Nance, of Abbeville county, to comply with the law and furnish me with a copy of the testimony taken at the coroner's inquest. I found that the coroner held an inquest, but took no testimony. "Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts came to my office and I requested them to secure the names of all parties connected with this affair, those who took part in the whipping, in the taking of the Negro from the jail, in the lynching, and all those who were at the meeting reported to have been held on the following Monday. I have requested Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts to make a complete investigation of the whole matter and get the names of all parties concerned and to swear out warrants and arrest them. "I intend to do everything in my power to uphold the law and let the offenders know that such acts will not be tolerated, and that those guilty of violating the law must suffer for it. I have requested Solicitor Cooper as the state's representative and Sheriff Burts as the highest peace officer in the county, to leave no stone unturned in order to vindicate the law and all the powers of the governor's office are at their disposal in bringing the guilty ones to justice." The lynching referred to occurred on October 21, in one of South Carolina's most beautiful and progressive cities. Anthony Crawford, the victim, was a Negro fifty-one years old worth over $20,000. He got into a row with a white storekeeper named Barksdale, over the price of cotton-seed. It is reported that Mr. Barksdale called him a liar and the Negro cursed him roundly in return, whereupon a clerk ran out to give Crawford a beating with an ax handle. He was saved from this by a policeman who arrested Crawford and took him to the municipal building, but when they let him out on bail a crowd of men took after him again intent on punishing him for daring to curse a white man. "The day a white man hits me is the day I die." Anthony Crawford once said to a friend. When he saw the crowd coming after him, he went down in the boiler room of the gin, picked up a four-pound hammer, and waited. The first man who came at him, McKinney Cann, received a blow in the head which fractured his skull, but someone hurled a stone which knocked out Crawford before he reached anyone else. While he was down, they knifed him in the back and kicked him until they thought they had finished him, when they permitted the sheriff to arrest the unconscious Crawford on condition that he would not take his prisoner out of town until they knew whether Cann would live or die. Cann wasn't hurt as badly as they thought, but nevertheless a mob went back to the jail at four o'clock that afternoon, took their keys and guns away from the sheriff and jailor, dragged Crawford through the streets of the Negro quarter with a rope around his neck, hung his mutilated body to a pine tree at the entrance to the fair grounds, and expended a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition at it. On Monday a meeting was called in the Abbeville courthouse at which it was decided to order the sixteen sons and daughters of Crawford and their families to abonon their $20,000 home and get out of the state by November 15. After this meeting this mob proceeded to close up all the Negro shops in Abbeville. PRICE THREE CENTS The Columbia state, in a powerful editorial, pointed out that in view of the exodus of Negro labor from the South to Northern industrial fields and the approach of the boll weevil, South Carolina's problem was to keep her colored men instead of serving notice on them that no matter how industrious or successful they might be, their case was absolutely hopeless. It so convinced the business men of Abbeville that they had lynched their own pocket-books, that on November 6th another meeting was held in the court-house at which a number of resolutions were unanimously passed: At the meeting on November 13 the resolutions were endorsed by prominent citizens from all parts of the county, and a committee of twelve men are to be appointed, "who shall have for their duties the furtherance of the ends sought by the meeting, by taking up with the citizens of the county the matters discussed and endeavoring to bring about a proper understanding between the people of the county, and a clue observance of the laws of the land." As a further guarantee that the Crawford family is to be defended in their right to live in South Carolina and enjoy the property accumulated by three generations, Governor Manning has written Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, vice president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as follows: "I realize the gravity of this offense and am determined to do everything in my power to bring the offenders to justice. I have called on the sheriff of Abbeville county to take the necessary steps to prevent any unlawful action with regard to the expulsion of the family of Crawford. "I am giving serious consideration to this matter with a view to making recommendations to the Legislature, so as to be able to deal with such conditions when they arise." DR. MOTON BANQUETED New York, N. Y., Nov. 15.—A complimentary dinner was tendered Dr. R. R.

ART CLUB AT THE COLONIAL A brilliant and fashionable audience witnessed the performance of "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway" at the Colonial Theatre Tuesday evening. The occasion was a benefit for the Maryland Home for Friendless Children. The affair was under the management of the Art Club, an organization of young society women. I wonder how many of you have met her. She is a dear little soul and we all love her but:— Now you say how can we love her, well I guess just because we must or she would dwindle and die before we could even know she was leaving us. She thinks nothing is right unless she has a hand in it. Why, I often wonder? She comes into a room that you have spent perhaps a whole morning in fixing over and finds you standing admiring your own work, when without a thought for you, she moves a chair a little farther back towards the wall, or she will move the table a little nearer the center of the room, or she will fix a picture on the wall so it will get the light in another way, or the curtains are looped back too tight or not tight enough, and as you watch you feel like saying—"Please don't" or also taking her by the shoulders and pushing her "gently" out into the hall. But you don't do either, you just smile because you love her if she is a fuzzy woman and say, "thanks for the help--dear, why don't you sit down and rest." "Oh," says the fussy little lady, "I'm not tired. I feel as though I must help to do something" and with a pathetic little drop to her mouth and a smile that you can hardly resist she'll say quite innocently— "What are you going to do now, may I help you?" or she will tell you "Come don't you think we can make a cake for supper - you know how Joe or how father loves sweet things?" She has not stopped to even ask if you are tired or if you have finished. she does not think that far. The fussy little woman usually has one idea of her own that she nurses to the exclusion of every thing else and when she has worked at it until she is almost a nervous wreck, she wants to help some one else to do something or wants you to help her to do something that the whole of you repels so forbibly that you forget some times that she is the dear little fussy woman that you really do love in spite of her faults and you answer her rather abruptly and then when you see the droop to the corners of her little mouth and the childish hurt look in her eyes you are ashamed of yourself and your unkind answer and you try to make things right by baking the cake for supper or going shopping or some other thing that you would rather not do. She is clever we all admit but if we do not live with her and only have her for a visit for a little while we do not wonder if she is worried that her husband belongs to three or four daughters a couple of clubs and her daughter and son always find other places to visit or spend the most of their time away from home, or if she is alone she worries parents and sisters and friends so that they think it just too lovely for words for her to go to Amant Ella's or her friend Emuree for a short visit. Everybody breathes sight of relief when they have helped her park, kissed her good-bye and seen the end of the train disappearing around the curve. Then again, the dear little fussy woman is so unsympathetic, if you have hurt your finger, it will soon be abrupt; if your neighbor has some trouble with her boy or girl or her husband has ill-treated her she does not want to hear about it because she can't help it. If you take her to the Theatre to see a play, or to the movies to see a -- as you think -- good picture -- she will tell you she does not like plays or pictures that show the seamy side of life or the trouble that people have, as there are enough troubles of her own to contend with without seeing them in plays and pictures, when I go to the theatre to see plays or pictures, I want to see bright cheerful plays. And you will say "well if you would hear and see more of such things, you might be able to think of some way you can help others to brighter lives you want to see and hear about." When you stop and see the little things she does and the amount of fuss she makes about a lot of little nothings, you wonder how she gets the time or patience to meet the many real things of life. I look at the fussy woman and when I think of the time consumed not only by her, but by all of us in fussing over the little spites, the little lies, little jealousies, little meannesses, and little likes and little dislikes, I wonder if when we go into the great beyond, will we be able to look back upon this great, wide, wonderful world, and wonder what we did with the great big opportunities that we had and why we failed so utterly to see the wondrous and gorgeous beauty of this great big world, and could not see the love and beauty and the good in general of those we knew and those we loved instead of all the bad we thought we did see. It's a queer world isn't it? We are always wondering if our hat is on straight or if we wait on this side of the street or the other for the car. Shall we wear these black shoes with this dress or the white ones, the tight glove or the one that is comfortable, the low or high neck dress. Then when we get to the social or the dance find some one there who never took time or has never had the time to think of such things, and she is so jolly, and pleasant that everybody is so busy listening to her that they do not even see us at all and then we wonder why we took the trouble. But its a good world anyway, and it is so good to be here isn't it? At least I thought so when I started -- just a little while ago -- to try to count my blessings.

'Tis sweet to be remembered, JOHNSON—In sad but tender, most loving remembrance of our devoted husband and father, Cephas Johnson, who departed this life one year ago today, Nov. 24th, 1915. In memory we oft'times see The one we loved so dear, Our vision grows so clear sometimes We feel he must be near. We would behold our loved one there, Tenderly, watching us. JOHNSON—In loving memory of Annie R., who entered into new life one year ago, November 23rd, 1915. On you, dear sister, we could always depend, And know we had one sincere friend; And of all the hours on earth with you spent, Your heart to us was always bent; But with us you could not always stay, For, oh so sudden you were called away. Rest on, dear sister, thy labor is o'er, Thy willing hands will toil no more; A faithful sister, both true and kind, A better sister you could never find. "God is good," we cannot say With smiling lips and voice always, Sometimes the veil hangs thick between The good that is, and what is seen. The summer wanes, the wind grows chill, The snow falls soft, the earth lies still, The flowers have dropped and gone to sleep: O, shall we for their resting weep! We may not see nor understand The guiding of His loving hand; But to, the flowers we thought were gone But put their brighter garments on!

BALTIMORE, NOV. 25, 1916 POLLARD DEFEATS HARVARD The meteoric career of Fritz Pollard, Brown University's capable foot ball player calls to mind the palmy days when Mr. Matthew Bullock, now a Boston lawyer, was the mainstay of the Dartmouth eleven, or when ex-Assistant District Attorney William H. Lewis of Boston, was the noted centre and later coach of the Harvard team. In more recent years, there was a time when the rooters of the Amherst-Williams game forgot the play of their respective teams in watching the performance of Williams' colored tackle, E. J. Marshall. A colored man on athletic teams at Harvard is no new thing. The name of Matthews is ahead of all others as the best shortstop the college has ever produced, and Ted Cable has thrown the hammer farther than any other Harvard track man, before or since. It was not the first time in the Stadium last Saturday that thousands of rooters rose to their feet and cheered the sterling work of a colored player. According to the newspaper accounts of the recent Harvard-Brown game in the Harvard stadium, Pollard was the special object of the Harvard defence, and Harvard players were several times warned for unnecessary roughness. In spite of this, Pollard was said to be effective in every play. He rushed from close formations, ran wide or dodged thru a broken field, received cleanly forward passes or intercepted those of the opponents. On one occasion he ran thru the whole Harvard team 46 yards for a touchdown. Some critics have sought to detract from Pollard's playing by reminding of the fact that Harvard's first team was watching the Yale-Princeton game, so that Brown was facing the second-string men. In this connection it need only be remembered that Pollard was quite as effective against the best team that Yale could put on the field two weeks ago, when as one of the college papers wittily remarked, "Pollard defeated Yale." --- The Southern newspapers are certainly wasting a great deal of sympathy over those colored folk who have recently left the South for Northern homes and work. They are predicting that the climate and the lack of sympathy of the Northerner will soon send them back home again to look for a warmer climate and the sympathy of the Southern whites. That the colored man cannot live well in the northern climates and that the congestion in homes the like of which they are not accustomed will create within their bosoms a longing for the "Sunny South" is another of their prophesies. In some few cases this might be true, especially as to the climatic conditions, but when it comes to the sympathy, we are of the opinion that the lynch law sympathy of the South will hardly be missed by many of them. The black man is coming out of the South to stay. COURAGE Historians have always been on hand with a quantity of praise for the dauntiest spirit of Christopher Columbus in facing the unknown deeps of the Atlantic in search of a new route to India. Nor is the liberty-loving Puritan forgotten, who unwilling to bear persecution in his native land, set out first for Holland, and eventually found in New England homes where he could live according to the dictates of his own conscience. Certainly some of the courage of the one and the love of liberty of the other characterize the simple colored laborer of the South, who with or without the advice of a labor agency finds his way North in search of employment. In the first place the colored man is essentially a home-loving animal. The fact that fifty years after emancipation, four-fifths of the race remain in the South is the best indication of the absence of an adventurous spirit. No matter how humble a home is there is no place like it. In order to migrate, then, the Negro has to fight against himself first of all. In case the colored laboror wins the fight over himself, there is yet the opposition of the white man in his home town to be met. In some places this opposition has crystalized into a law as in Florida where labor agents are forbidden to operate unless they first pay a tax of $2,500. More often it takes the form of false statements in the press. For example, here is one from a Birmingham, Ala-ama paper: "Our Negroes who have gone North will have a ot of new experiences. One will be to see all the work they can do shut down because of cold weather. The miners can work, but all the others will soon be without work in a strange cold land." Here is a clipping from a Georgia paper which not only speaks authoritatively of the undesirability of the work the laborer will be obliged to do, but suggests that some fatal danger lurks over the Mason and Dixon's line for the venturse Georgia citizen: "It is understood that the Negroes are being 'shipped' to the coal fields of Pennsylvania and if this is the case it is reasonable to suppose that those of them who survive will want to be coming back in a short while, for the work they will be given to do and the conditions under which they will both work and have to live are anything but full of pleasure as pictured by the gibl tongued labor agents who have been here urging them to make the trip." More laborers have left Florida than any other State. The federal authorities set the figures at fifty thousand. However, the ordinary laborer who reads the following in the Florida Times-Union would certainly hesitate before leaving: "The climate is another objection. The Negroes who are used to the South will find out-door work in the winter in the North a very different thing from here. Many of them will wish they were back in the South before the winter is over. The cost of living in the North will offset in the winter any difference in wages. When it seems likely that the hard-headed laborer has made up his mind and this is not to be mistaken by falsehood, then the press 'uncoheses a threat like the following from the Atlanta Constitution: "Fearing that the general unrest among the Negroes of the city and the efforts that are being put forth on the part of the authorities to keep them from being transported from Macon to the North, may result in a riot which the city authorities will not be able to cope with, Chief of Police George S. Riley today recommended to the civil service commission that forty magazine rifles be purchased for the police department. At the present time the police only have their pistols and clubs. "Monday morning, one thousand Negroes congregated at the Southern railway depot expecting to leave for Michigan in a special train. The police dispersed them but had difficulty in making several of them move on. Several arrests were made. It is said that a suriname now exists among a certain class of the Negroes and the police want to be able to cope with any situation that may arise." According to federal estimates, 300,000 laborers have come to Illinois, Indiana and Ohio alone. That so many have succeeded in leaving the South is spite of their difficulties, bears witness to the attractive power of higher wages, and incidently to the growth of a new courage among the colored people of the South. "The devil was slick, the devil a saint would be... Now that so many colored men are going North to secure work, the National Federation of Labor, in session in this city, seems to be much interested in seeing to it that the colored labor of the South is unionized. It is not because they have so much interest in the colored laborer as a fear that some of them will be thrown out of employment by this influx of Southern Negroes in the North. It has been the purpose all those years on the part of the unions to keep colored men out, but now that there seems to be a chance for colored labor to come into its own, they are very anxious that they shall be brought into the unions. No sooner than they are brought in and a strike takes place every Negro will be thrown out of employment. When the strike is over the whites will go back to work and the poor African will be left out in the cold. As they have not been so very anxious about us all these years, it would seem the wisdom on our part to stay out at this time. We know the old saying: "Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts." Suppose we let them get a little bit more anxious before accepting any favors at their hands. Joining the unions at this time is a good thing to let alone. TOO BAD! TOO BAD! IS'NT IT? TOO BAD! TOO BAD! ISN'T IT? "We look forward eagerly to ascertaining from our Southern exchanges what ought to be done to this Negro on the Brown football team who had the unparalleled impudence to score at will on Yale and Harvard. "In the victory," says the sun, in dangerously inflammable language, "one man stood out as possibly the greatest halfback of the country, and he is Fred Pollard the Negro player of the Providence team." We regret to note, too, that when Pollard scored his third touchdown after running forty-six yards through the entire Harvard team, "the crowd rose as one and accorded him an ovation nearly heard even on a collegiate: field." This is all very generous, of course, but where does it leave our own familiar friends, Social Pre judice and Anglo-Saxon Superiority? Isn't this putting dangerous ideas into Pollard's head as to what constitutes his proper place? Did not the Stadium crowd realize that by thus applauding a mere 'nigger' they were endangering white supremacy in the South? Perhaps in order to keep Fred Pollard from being unduly elated some one will send him the news from the Macon Daily Telegraph of how a Florida gentleman on Thursday used a revolver on a colored chauffeur for the henious crime of grinning at him. The bullet missed, but the chauffeur is in jail on the charge of disorderly conduct!" conduct: New York Evening Post MRS.WASHINGTON ENTERTIANED Mrs. Booker T. Washington was tendered a splendid musicale by a committee of ladies consisting of Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins, Mrs. John Fernandis, Mrs. James F. Gregory, Mrs. A. L. Gaines, Mrs. George E. Frey and Mrs. Nora Anderson at the residence of Mrs. Frey, on last Monday evening. Vocal and instrumental solos were rendered by Mrs. Rub McAbee, Miss Harris, Miss Guy, Miss Berry, Dr. Stewart and Prof. Hawkins, Mrs. John Fernandis introduced Mrs. Washington, who delivered a splendid address. Refreshments were served. TITTLE-ROBINSON On Thursday, November 9, 1916, solemnized the wedding of Bertha M. Robinson, of Fallison, Md., to George T. Tittle Jr., of Rocks, Md., at the parsonage of the Rev. C. H. Matthews, of Bel Air. Only the immediate families witnessed the occasion. The bride was clad in a blue traveling suit with hat to match, and carried bride roses. The groom looked equally well. They left for their honeymoon to Washington. They arrived at the Rocks, Saturday, November 11th where a happy throng awaited them at the home of the groom's parents who had prepared quite an elaborate reception for the happy couple. --- DENBAR THEATRE OPENED With crowded houses at both matinee and evening performances, the Dunbar Theatre made its advent into the moving picture world Wednesday. The theatre, which has just been built is one of the finest and has the added distinction of being the only pictured house in the city absolutely owned and controlled by colored people. Messrs. Josiah Diggs and Henry Trimble are the proprietors. They express a desire for the patronage of the discriminating public and have promised to put on the best pictures that can be obtained. This is also the only five cent house in East Baltimore. TO HONOR BISHOP ROSS Much interested is being manifested in the testimonial which will be given Bishop I. N. Ross, at Bethel Church next Tuesday night. This testimonial is for the purpose of assisting Bishop Ross in his work in West Africa, for which point he will leave early in the coming year. A number of speakers will be present, the admission will be free, but a collection will be taken for the purpose stated above. Bishop Ross was elevated to the Episcopacy at the last General Conference of his church, last May in Philadelphia, and assigned to West Africa. Previous to that he was pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, this city, and it is therefore fitting that this testimonial be of a substantial character. "BUL-BUL" PRESENTED" W. Rhyx Herbert's humorous operetta, Bul-Bul was presented by the Sunday School of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, Thursday evening before an appreciative audience, who braved the very inclement weather to attend. The characters were all well taken and showed the careful training of Mr. L. Ellsworth Toomey, who had charge of the affair. Among those who took part were Mesdames Blanche Cook, Etta Blackwell, Misses Lillian Hebron, Irene Marriott, Idella Grey, Cynthia Newton and Bessie Ringgold. Messrs. William Janie, William Bowen, Albert Bowie, Harrison Shorter; Masters Wiley Bowie, Herbert Kelly, Randolph Waters and Clark Newton. Mr. George A. Owens is superintendent of the Sunday School and Rev. R. W. S. Thomas is pastor. Mrs. C. G. Conner, accompanied by her husband, of Annapolis, Md., are visiting in the city the guests of Mrs. West, of 1306 N. Stricker street. Special Thanksgiving services will be observed in all the churches on next Thursday. The fall rally at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, up to the present has made a great record, the amount raised up to the present being nearly $1600.00. This is a splendid showing under the administration of their energetic pastor, Rev. C. E. Stewart, who succeeded Bishop I. N. Ross. The names of those who paid their subscriptions to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund at the memorial meeting at the Academy of Music last Sunday will be announced through the Afro-American next week. The committee urges that those who subscribed will pay up as soon as possible. All the names of those paying their subscriptions will be announced in the Afro-American as their subscriptions are paid. THE FAMOUS SUPPER AT .AMES ON TRANSKUSING NIGHT The Ladies' Aid Society of Ames Memorial M. E. Church will serve a Great Farmers' Supper in the improved lecture room of Ames Church, on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, Nov. 30th. The losers in the contest rally between the men and the women will entertain the winners. The winners will be announced from the pulpit Sunday night, Nov. 26. Who will win, the men or the women?

Old Couple Give $500 Columbus O., Nov. 23.—One of the biggest surprises in the campaign for a $100 000 "Young Men's Christian Association, which came to an on-enton when it was announced that Dr. and Mrs. Noah Elliott had made a contribution of $500 cash. Dr. Elliott is more than ninety years of age and is the oldest colored physician in Columbus. Mrs. Elliott is in her seventies but looks fully thirty years younger. The whole amount was paid in five, ten and twenty dollar bills and they remarked that they paid their subscription in full "we might not be here to pay it in installments." When the subscription was announced, enthusiasm was at a high pitch and tears were seen in the eyes of many as the workers shouted and sang. The $10,000 which was the aim of the workers was oversubscribed on the second night when $11,466 85 was reported. The campaign was managed by Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary. Washington, D. C. Nov. 23—Much interest is being manifested in the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Nash Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, which has been going on since November 5th, under the direction of its active pastor, Rev. L. A. Carter. The anniversary will continue until December 3rd. A large number of popular pastors have taken part and a number are yet to render their services, among who are several well-known divines from Baltimore. Rev. Carter has been actively at work since conference and the church is making MINERVAS' CHRISTMAS SALE Buy your Christmas Presents at the sale of the Minerva Art and Embroidery Club, Wednesday and Thursday, December 6th and 7th, 1916, from 7 to 10 p. m., at 1208 Drudl Hill avenue.

Mount street, entertained at dinner last Sunday evening the following guests: Miss Yacum, the head nurse at Provident Hospital, Miss Irene Bernard, Miss Hattie Chew, Mr. David Green, Mr. Rendall Chew, Mr. Lankford, of Morgan College and Mr. Willian Chew. The concert given by the Ladies Orchestra at Metropolian M. E. Church, Friday, November 17, 1916, was a grand success. Mme. Bruce and Mr. George Wingate, the vocal soloists on this occasion, added much to the splendid program. Mrs. R. M. S. Thomas, wife of the pastor, delivered an address which was both timely and instructive. GEORGE W. ROBINSON George W. Robinson was born in Sandy Springe, Montgomery Co., Md. He came to Baltimore when quite a young boy, spending the major part of his life in South Baltimore. About 55 years ago he married. His wife, Marnie E. Robinson, having died in October, 1909. From this union they were blessed with 15 children of which nine are living. He was a member of Sharp Street M. E. Church for more than 50 years and its sexton for about 10 years. In 1899 he was replaced as sexton of this church and since that time he has been in failing health. He was identified with the Masonic order being a member of Mt. Horeb Lodge, past master; also a member of King David Chapter, No. 1, Royal Cars Masons and Alpha Council, No. 1, Royal and Select Masters.

MITCHELL VISITS FACTORY Several weeks ago, Dr. Albert J. Mitchell, pastor of Ames Memorial Church held a service at his church at which not only the workers in the various factories throughout the city were invited, but to those in the charge of the factories were asked to come and make addresses. The meeting was the first of its kind to be held in the city, and was a success in every way. As an echo of this meeting Dr. Mitchell was invited this week to. visit the factory of the Wise Brothers and inspect the conditions under which two hundred or more employees work. Following his visit there, Dr. Mitchell expressed himself as being well pleased with the conditions generally in the factory. He was especially impressed with the excellent arrangements made by the company whereby the workers may secure a first-class meal in the middle of the day at a nominal cost of ten cents. It is likely that Dr. Mitchell will visit other factories where colored girls are employed, in the near future, with a view to betering conditions among the workers. TO ATTEND HOWARD- TO ATTEND HOWARD-HAMPTON GAME Baltimoreans will be much in evidence at the Howard-Hampton game which will be played on the Howard campus Thanksgiving day. Sentiment as to the result is about evenly divided as there are many graduates from both institutions residing in this city. It is probable that a special train will be run over the Electric road on that day. BIG CROWDS AT COLONIAL Big crowds were the rule rather than the exception at the Colonial Theatre this week where George Cohan's brilliant success of a few years ago "Fort-Five Minutes from Broadway" held the boards. This is one of the best shows that the Quality Amusement Corporation has presented at the Colonial Theatre for some weeks and the acting was of a finished quality that is bound to draw well. All of the old favorites were greeted with an enthusiasm which showed that Baltimoreans have not forgotten their appearance here the first part of the season. Miss Abbie Mitchell in the stellar role, was most pleasing and her singing was up to its usual mark of excellence. Her performance of the role this week in contrast to those in which she appeared in "Mine. X" and "The Conspiracy" show her to be a most versatile actress. Babe Townsend played his exacting part with a rare skill that marks him one of the best comedians on the stage. All the others in the cast showed up well and as a result the play was not only one of the best enjoyed but one o f the best acted that has come to the Colonial this season. MRS. WASHINGTON VISITS HIGH SCHOOL Mrs. Booker T. Washington visited the High School this week and delivered: an address to the students. Later accompanied by Principal Hawkins, she made a trip of inspection through the building and expressed herself as being much impressed with what she saw. ALL FOR SWEET CHARITY The Minerva Art Club is preparing for its annual sale which will be held in the office of W. L. Fitzgerald, 1206 Druid Hill avenue on Wednesday and Thursday, December 6th and 7th. A number of various fancy articles and knite-knacs made by members of the club during the year will be offered for sale and the proceeds will go for some worthy cause. As a result of the sale last year, the club was able to have the Day Nursery building painted and screens fitted in the widows of Provident Hospital. Those in charge of the sale are endeavoring to make this years affair even a greater success. The ladies composing the club are prominent in Baltimore's society circles. DANIEL MURRA YDEAD Washington, D. C. November 23—Daniel Murray Jr., son of Daniel and Anna J. Murray, died on Wednesday at four o'clock p. m. after an acute illness of three weeks. He was born in Washington in 1880, was educated in the public schools of the city and studied at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. In early life he exhibited remarkable musical ability and after work in the Oberlin Conservatory studied under the best teachers in New York and Boston. He was the composer of several well-known songs and had arranged for the violin of which he was an acknowledged master, many of the old plantation melodies and folk songs of our people. For the past few years he had devoted himself to orchestra work his organization being much sought by the music loving public of New York and Washington. POLLARD A SURE ALL-AMERICAN MAN Here is the greatest football players of the year, Fred D. Polard, the duly skinned half-back of the little Brown University team, defeated the two the Eastern star teams, Harvard and Yale practically single-handed. He beamed Harvard and Yale on successive Saturday afternoons on their own fields. Yale was beaten 21 to 6, and the mighty Harvard was overwhelmed 21 to 0. The little colored kid—he only weighs a little over 150 pounds—did it all alone. In both games he made his opponents appear foolish in his attempts to catch him as he tore off long runs of 35 to 50 yards each. In theh Harvard game he cluded the whole Crimson team for runs of 40, 35, 25, 45, 15 and 35 yards. When Pollirad finally gave way to substitute after the third touchdown was scored and the game irreversibly tucked away in the archieves of Brown the crowd arose as one and accorded him an ovation rarely heard even on a collegiate field. Harvard and Brown united in acknowledging Pollirad the halftack of the year. He was the sensation, the spectacle and all else of the game. Not only was he a veritable demon on offense, but rarely did he fail to throw a Harvard runner on the defense. He received forward passes cleanly, not only those of his own team, but also Harvard passes, which he, also Pollirad was effective in every department of the game, exhibiting not one weakness, and he had several chances to fail had he been of the failing kind. Pollard is now in his second year at Brown, having matriculated there from the Lane Technical High School of Chicago. He is earning his way through college as a tailor. He is a star with the flat-iron as well as the gridiron. His room is one-hat tailor shop where he presses the clothes of his classmates. The dusky chap is also a truck-grit at Brown. He is their host, kinder and spinner. Howard Drew is his great friend and coach. There is no question about his gameness. Anyone who witnessed either the Harvard or the Yale game will testify to his grit. On both three occasions he was handled very roughly by his opponents, who sought by all manner and means to "get" him out of the game. He seems a certainty on the All-American teams. —The Baltimore Star. STORER WINS FROM MORGAN STORER WINS FROM MORAL Though Morgan lost the game to Storer by a score of 25 to 7 last Saturday at Oriole Park, the local team finds a little consolation in being the first team to cross Storer's goal line in two years. The weather was ideal and the game was thrilling and witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd of rooters. The game began by Morgan kicking to Storer, who with the ball lined up on its 40-yard line. On the second down Wade completed a long forward pass from Howell and ran 12 yards for a touchdown. Morgan showed a lack of training in intercepting forward passes. Morgan again kicked to Storer, who after much hard playing really earned their second touchdown in the second period. Morgan received the kick and after a series of off-tackle and end plays brought the ball to their 40-yard line where Lane, after working a fake shift formation to the left shot around right end 40 yards for Morgan's first and only touchdown. He only escaped Storer's full-back by leaving a part of his jersey in the latter's clinched hand. It was easily the prettiest play of the game. Anderson kicked goal. The second half began with a fumble by J. Williams while receiving the kick from Storer. The visitors recovered the ball on Morgan's 10-yard line and walked right over with their 3rd touchdown. Morgan again received the kick but this time by hard playing brought to their own 30-yard line where another score seemed imminent until Williams missed a forward pass on the fourth down thus giving Storer the ball. Morgan was slowly forced back up the field until Storer scored her fourth touchdown. Morgan expects to play Dover State College at Dover, Del., on Thanksgiving day. BANNEKER DOWNS 115 As a prelude to the Morgan-Steer game Saturday Public School 113 and No. 115 lined up at Orlone Park last Saturday. The boys greatly entertained the crowd, which literally was wild when Fountieroy Gee dickerely worked a criss-cross pass with Winn, Page and ran 30 yards for a touchdown for the Bannekers. In less than five minutes the same play was worked for another touchdown. The boys from 115 received applause when Hopps caught a beat and beautiful forward pass from Coway and ran to Banneker's 10-yard line from which a few more rushes scored a touchdown for 115 us the first half ended. As the second half was very short, neither side scored and the game ended with the score 13 to 6 in favor of Banneker (113.). As a whole the Banneker team was very fast and slightly heavier than their opponents. RACE PROGRESS ON CANVAS Moving pictures deploring the progress of the race in Baltimore were shown at Bethel A.

COLONEL STILL IN THE SOUTH Occonola, Ark—So far as you are concerned I am at a new place this week, and yet I am not at a new place, but it has been a long time since I was in this part of the state, and it will not be long before I will be away from here, and will be going to another part of the world. I hope that you are enjoying the best of health. I don't know what to think of this world, but I have been seeing some of it in the past few days, yet I have not said any thing about the election which took place and will not for a little while. I want to give it time to soak in before I get around to it. You will have to wash and listen at all I have to say. I was in knoosele last week, as you will remember or the week before attending the Virginia Organization Society, presided over by Dr. Robert E. Moton. Well it was some meeting, but it is all over now, and Dr. Moton has retired as president and now it is in the hands of Major Allen W. Washington, who is connected with Hampton Institute. He is going to make a fine president of the organization which is composed of organizations having for its mission, better homes, better farms, better health and better schools for our people, and this is not alone talk but real work in a practical way. The man who brought this into life knew his read business and he is pushing it to the end. I was delighted to have seen and valued with him and to have seen him take his seat. While in Roxbury I was the guest of Heri, B. E. Micks; pastor of the First Baptist Church and a fine man at that. He use to be in a church in Washington, D. C., and resigned to come to Virginia where he is making his life count for something real worth while. Heri, L. L. Downing assisted me in getting around, and one day we went out in the country to a dinner that I will never forget as long as I am in this world or any other world. I am not going to talk about eating and I am sure you will not expect me to do this. Hence my attention will be turned to leaving there. I got on the Norfolk and Western headed for another part of the country. Their horse pulled all their carriages to Bristol and then the Southern took it up. Now I am sure that you know something about the Southern and I do too. I have been there from time to time looking around to see what I could see and how I could see it. To me it was a real source of pleasure to ride on that Southern wagon. Getting off about 2 o'clock Sunday morning in Hunterville, I had notified Mrs. Buchanan to meet me, but she did not get the letter until I was there. I do not mean that she was to meet me herself at that hour, but sent for me. She was indeed as friendly as could be. She is just the daughter of her father, that's all. I certainly did have a nice time in Hunterville. I had the pleasure of stopping at the Community House. I never heard of such a place before since I have been in the world. It is just a house, and not like a Y. M. C. A. yet it is...not like a Y. M. C. A. and yet it is. At the head of this building is to be found Prof. Hoggins and his wife. These two people are just working together like clock works. They have a place for the boys to meet and have debates and read, a place for men, a place for girls and a place for women. Then they have a school therein connected with this where busy men can learn to read and write and do higher school work. This work was started by the Miss Grace Walker, who is connected with the McCormacks. They are just there behind it with their money, and if the colored people will do their part then there will be something doing in that town. These people of Huntsville were as busy as could be raising a fund with which to prosecute a street man for assaulting a woman of my race. She was on the car early in the morning going to work when it happened, and while he has denied it, yet they have a clue, and they are going to push it to all it is worth. They have secured one of the best lawyers in Alabama, and he is charging them just one hundred dollars for his part. I was delighted to note the interest Prof. Huggins is taking in the case, and I was delighted to have spoken and been instrumental in them raising some money. I tell you we must keep busy in this America and contend for our human rights, without abusing any one. I had the pleasure of speaking at the Baptist Church at night in the M. E. Church in the morning, A. M. E. Church and Cumberland Presbyterian Church in the afternoon. Then I also spoke at the Normal, Ala., and this was doing some talking, and I am sure you will agree with me. Getting through with the day's work having spoken five times, I was then prepared to turn my attention to the other busy things of life. The Lord knows just what has been accomplished. I went into the house and slept like a log until the next morning, when Mrs. Higgins had a fine breakfast ready for me, and I left Huntsville, for Decatur, Ala. It has been a long time since I went to Decatur for a real visit, yet I was there in August on business. In this town is to be found Dr. Willis E. Sterrs, who is looking after the sick. He likes to use his knife, and belongs now in the class of Dr. George C. Hall, Dr. Daniel H. Williams Dr. A. M. Curtis and many other able surgeon. When he takes a knife in his hands he knows his real business. In the same town is to be found Law- year H. W. Custin, and he is one of the best lawyers in Alabama, saying nothing about race or color. When it comes to law, he knows his business. I was delighted to see him and have the pleasure of talking to him. He was a lifelong friend of Dr. W. H. Councill, the great educator. I remained in the city until the next morning and then pulled out for Memphis, where I was made to feel sad, for I went to Howe Institute, the school of which Pro. T. O. Fuller is president and was told that his wife had gone to her eternal reward. This happened in July and I did not know a word about it. She was indeed a fine woman, and a wife to her husband. I made it through Memphis to this place to join Bishop J. M. Connor in his conferences. I will talk about his work at his home in other letters.

She was just a little woman, with eyes that always looked so sad as if the world had been too hard for her, and anything worth while, was not worth the striving. She had a pathetic little droop to her mouth and whenever you looked at her, somehow or other, you always pitied her, and yet, she held her own among the office force. No matter how much chaffing or joking went on around her, she was always busy. She would answer pleasantly enough when spoken to, but at her best, she was a tired-out, forlorn looking creature. She was neatly dressed in an out-of-style tailored costume and spotless linen cuffs and collar; her feet were well shod in sensible walking boots; and altogether I don't think there was a woman in our office force who looked more the business woman than she looked to be. I often wondered why I pitted her. Although frail looking, she seemed well able to take care of herself. She first came to the office as a society reporter, then she was shifted to special work, but she seemed never to make good; and at last the Boss took her into his sanctum as private secretary. Why, we did not know, nor could we ever understand unless it was because no one else had ever been able to get along with him. The whole force from the manager down to the Devil laughed and joked, about it behind their backs and some wit dubbed them their "Beast and the Dove." Anyway, they got along fine together and we were glad even though we laughed. She had been with the paper nearly eighteen months and we did not even know where she lived, as she never talked about herself; if some one asked her anything about her affairs she either changed the subject by asking a question in turn or failed to answer at all. Madaline Roye was a problem we had failed to solve and every one except the Boss dubbed her Miss Dove, because peace seemed to reign in the main sanctum since she entered its sacred precincts. But one never-to-beforgeten day, there was great excitement among the force, caused by a raid on a gambling joint just a few blocks below the office, and one of the boys who liked to think himself a sport, had just escaped being in the crowd found in the place when raided. It was a resort long known to the authorities but they had been unable until that day to get any evidence against the place. The raid was made so quietly that only our paper contained a report of the raid the following morning and everybody was talking about it. Happening to glance aceross at Miss Roye I saw she was staring at the paper as she she had suddenly lost her reason. She must have felt my gaze upon her, for she glanced over at me, threw the paper aside and started to work furiously upon the type-writer. I wondered what was in the paper to make her look like a flower suddenly blighted by the heat. Though everybody's else tongue wagged as if stuck on a pivot and loose at both ends she had not said a word. Late in the afternoon, when the day force was getting ready to leave, the Boss come in with the news that "Shorty" the night reporter, was on the sick list and would not be able to report for duty. "I have just heard" said the Boss, "that one of the men caught in the raid has committed suicide, and I must have some one to take "Shorty's" place and get a good write-up for the paper. Everybody was busy and he was at his wits end. He stormed up and down the office for a while, then suddenly he wheeled around and said: "Miss Roye, I see no other way but that you will have to scout around and see what you can find out. I have no one to take Mr. Mott's (in office parlance "Shorty") place, and you will have to do it. "For God's sake brace up," he said "and get it in time before the paper goes to press. If you have any difficulty and find you will be late with the write-up, but are sure of a good story, call up and we will hold the space for it. Get busy now and see what you can do. If you don't make good on this I will have to discharge you." She put on her things, picked up her pad and pencil and walked out without uttering a word. "I declare, Fisher," said the Boss, "that woman gets on my nerves; poor little devil I wonder what ails her?" "What indeed," thought I, but I kept my own counsell. I had the biggest notion in the world to follow her and offer to get the story for her; but when I thought of the difference in our style of write-ups, I knew it would not do. About 9.30 p. m., I had finished my work for the time being and was enjoying my pipe, with my feet resting comfortably upon my desk, but I could not help thinking of Miss Roye. I was dreaming of what I would like to happen and every smoke ring seemed to show her pathetic little face gazing lovingly down on me. "Fisher," I said to myself, "you are many times an old fool. Don't you know you can't support a wife?" "A wife"—"Fisher you are a bigger fool than I thought you were. Dreaming of a little woman who has never given you a smile or shown a passing interest in you. And how do you knew she will have you?" I jumped up, threw my pipe on the desk and started for my coat and hat. Glancing at the clock I saw it was 16.45. "Gee whiz," thought I, "I'll wonder if she will make good. I believe I'll wait and see, so I hied myself back and sat down; but oh, the waiting. Every second seemed a minute and every minute an hour. Eleven struck, then the half. Presently old Lord Baltimore boomed slowly the hour of twelve and the call boy yelled down through the cude "copy wanted." I got up and went to the Boss' office but that gentleman, was in such a state I could get no sense in him, so I took things in my own hands and yelled back "hold her till 1 o'clock. The Boss was like a wild animal in a cage. He would sit awhile, then get up and walk up and down like one possessed, swearing and storming like some one gone suddenly mad. I got up and went back to my own sanctum. "Fisher," said I, "you are in plain English a darn fool." Suddenly the clock struck the half and I commenced to get as nervous as a silly little woman. I could not keep my eyes off the clock. I sat and watched as one fascinated and every tick seemed to say failed, failed, failed, failed until I thought if something didn't soon happen I would go crazy. Fisher was so intent in watching the clock, he did not hear the door open and the slam of the door shutting caused him to jump clear out of his seat as tho' some one had pressed a spring. He turned and there she stood a poor disheveled looking object. He was afraid to say a word and could not have spoken a word if he had wanted to. He just looked at her. The moment was tense and his nerves were about at the snapping point when she smiled her poor pitiful little smile and holding out to him her papers-said "Here it is Mr. Fisher." I fell back in the chair and opened it and just a glance showed me she had made good I was so excited I yelled for the boss, and he came in a hurry, snatched the manuscript from my hand and after hastily skimming over itsaid: "Great-Miss Roye that's the best we've had for sometime. Its a clean scoop. How did you get it?" Hurry up Fisher, he said and get it ready and don't lose a second." Turning to Miss Roye who was still standing near the door, where she had stopped when she came in, he again said: "Great! my dear, it certainly rings true." Which was the highest of praise from the Boss-he who seldom thought it necessary to say anything, no matter how good a story or scoop might have been. For a minute every sound was like the crack of a gun, then she said, "It ought to ring true. I guess no one knows any better than I how true it is, since he is my husband." For a moment which seemed like an hour, we simply stared and sat like so many statues, but we were brought suddenly back to life by Miss Roye, who after her sensational utterance promptly fainted. We picked her up and carried her into the Boss's private office and layed her on the couch. We tried every means we knew to bring her back to life, and at last we sent for the doctor but before he could arrive, she sat up and looked at us and said: "Oh, I didn't mean to do that" as the we thought she had fainted intentionally. Getting slowly off the couch she said, "I'll go home now, I'm so tired, and baby May is waiting for me" I was so bitterly at sea at the quick turn of events in such a short while that I stod as the turned to stone. The slamming of the office door brought me quickly to my senses and rushing thru the office into my own I grabbed hat and coat and fled after her. Overtaking her just as she got to the street door I offered to accompany her home. She gladly accepted my offer and thus began our strange friendship for each other. Three times had autumn's magic touched the green of the city's trees and changed them to wondrous golds and browns since Mayo Fisher had first walked home with Madeline Roye and this evening instead of walking home with her from the office as usual, he said with her permission he would call at $ s $ o'clock. Madeline wended her way slowly homeward, wondering how she could tell Mayo Fisher the story of her life. But tell him she must, because she would marry no man and leave him in ignorance of her past life. She knew that Mayo would ask to her be his wife, and she wondered if he would still wish it so after he knew. She stood at the window and soberly watched the people flitting by like shadows of night. As the bell rang a tender smile parted her lips as she thought of the love she hoped would soon be hers and baby May's, because Mayo had come to love May as his own. She had reached the door and as he entered the room he grasped her hand and said, "You know why, little lady, I've come, don't you?" And like the true woman she was Madeline Roye gave Mayo her hands and said, "I am yours dear if you want me after I have told you my story." "But I don't want your past, I want you the present and the future" said Mayo. "You must listen to me Mayo-I'll marry no man unless he knows. There must be nothing between us that will ever bring a shadow of doubt into our future." "We were a happy family when we lived at Listie Junction. Father was a free-hearted, free-handed hospitable man, and mother, who can describe ones mother. I can only say she was noble and good. When I was fourteen years of age, father died, and my brother Jack and I were all that was left to mother. Jack was older than I by six years, but as a child he was not strong so his father sent him West to his brother on a farm. But Jack didn't like anything that meant work, so it wasn't long before he ran away and went to Chicago to live. How he lived, we never knew, and we can only guess, because he would never say only that he had enough to live on and plenty of friends. Uncle was much worried and so was my parents. Father was never the same afterward. He was not very well at the time and the blow pros- THE AFRO-AMERICAN trated him. He advertised far and wide, but we heard nothing from him. Father kept getting weaker and weaker, and at last one day we found him sitting by the window dead. He had slipped away from us without a sound. Father had been dead about a month when one day Jack walked in. We had discovererd that affairs were in pretty badshape, but we thot we would be able to save the home, and we were so glad that we could save the home that we didn't mind the work. "I'm going to help you mother, I said, "I can get a place as bookkeeper in Markel's grocery store, and I'll go to night school and take a business course and learn to be a first class stenographer. "But my dear" said mother, "I don't want you to leave school, for if Jack helps, we ca nget along nicely until you have finished the High School. "Well you don't need to count on me," said Jack "as I don't intend to do any hard work, as I'm not strong enough, I'll go back where I came from where I don't have to be tied to any woman's apronstrings." "Jack" said mother, "Why don't you act like a man and like your father's son and go to work You've never done anything but give us a lot of trouble; you broke your father's heart, and now I suppose you want to try to break mine. No matter what you say to the contrary, you are as strong as any young man your age and there is nothing the trouble with you but laziness" Turning abruptly around, Jack grabbed mother by the shoulders and telling her "to cut that talk, that he was his own man, and that as the "old man", meaning his father, had left nothing, but debts, he was going to "pull out", as he could not be worried with two women." Mother was so shocked and hurt she couldn't say anything. As Jack was her only boy, you may well know how she felt The next morning when breakfast was ready, I called Jack and getting no answer, I went to his room, and found it empty-his bed had not been touched. All the ready money he could find in the house, which the not a large amount, he had appropriated. Concluded, next week. JONES' STUDIO 441 W. Biddle St. near Drudl Hill Av.
