PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY PRICE THREE CENTS MONSTER CELEBRATIONS MARK ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF BIRTH OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS VOL. XXV. No. 26 DR. TUNNELL ADDRESSES BIG MEETING AT BETHEL Crowds Turn Out To Pay Tribute of Respect To Memory of Maryland's Distinguished Orator The panorama of stirring events from the time of the enactment of the Missouri Compromise in 1820, through the troublous times immediately preceding and during the Civil War and the days that immediately followed, and the great part that Frederick Douglass played therein, were graphically reviewed at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Wednesday night, where an overblowing meeting to celebrate the centenary of the birth of the dead statesman was held. The speakers were Rev. George F. Bragg, rector of St. James P.E. Church Mrs. Annie Tucker Hitchens and Dr. William V. Tunnell, of Washington, and each held the rapt attention of the big audience as salient points in the career of the anti-slavery orator were outlined. Dean William Pickens was on the program to speak but very graciously gave his allotted time to Dr. Tunnell. Dr. Ernest Lyon presided. A movement to erect a monument to Mr. Douglass was suggested by Mr. J. H. Murphy. It was agreed upon. The big audience contained men and women in every walk of life, all anxious to pay homage to the illustrious men and learn from his life of marvelous achievements. State's Attorney William F. Broening and Superintendent of Schools Charles J. Koch were interested listeners. It was Mr. Koch who helped to pave the way for the celebration of the centenary by the pupils of the public schools. The principal address was delivered by Dr. Tunnell, who characterized Mr. Douglass as a "superman among supermen, and an unique man in an unique era." Tracing the marvelous achievements of the Nineteenth Century in science and invention, he outlined the "incidents that helped make Douglass and the era illustrious." Picturing Dougass when he eagerly sought knowledge in Baltimore, of his hatred of slavery as far back as 1831, when Nat Turner's insurrection took place; when he appeared before the anti-slavery gathering at Nantucket, Mass., Dr. Tunnell graphically described Dougass' efforts in fomenting hostility to human bondage. The efforts of Mr. Douglass, the speaker said, were a part of the world wide movement for democracy, England having just manumitted its slaves and Russia having freed the serts. He told the work of the compromisers—Clay, Calhoun and Douglass—of the hatred that Mr. Lincoln had against slavery, and declared that while he was opposed to bondage, he only issued the Emancipation Proclamation as an order of military necessity, the Constitution legalizing slavery. Many of the Abolitionists, Mr. Tunnell declared, thought their work done with the cessation of the Civil War and the triumph of the Union, but not so with Mr. Douglass. He told of his efforts to have Congress pass the Thirteenth Amendment prohibiting slavery; of the adoption of the Fourteenth making the Negro a citizen, and the passage of the Fifteenth giving the Negro the right to vote. Mr. Douglass, he went on to say believed in the fullest possibilities and capabilities of the Negro, and was against artificial distinctions robbing the race of whatever it deserved. Praising Mr. Douglass as a world citizen of commanding figure, as a stalker, for the rights of his race and for women, and his moral life, the famous Marylander was described as "the mentor, teacher, guide, philosopher and friend of the Negre race." MRS. HITCHEN'S TRIBUTE Mrs. Annie Tucker Hitchens described the great influence that the career of Frederick Douglass had upon the life of the women of the race, and asserted that from a moral standpoint, one could always point with pride to his career. Rev. Dr. Bragg gave an outline of the career of the illustrious Marylander, mentioned a number of lessons that may be drawn from his long and useful life, and read extracts from the last public address that he delivered which was at the commencement of the Colored High School in June, 1894. Mr. Howard Gross requested a poem on Douglass by Dunbar. Musical numbers were furnished by the Glee Club of Morgan College, the Alphian Glee Club and a ladies' orchestra. Dr. Charles E. Stewart led in singing "My Country Tof Thee." Rev. Daniel G. Mack delivered the invocation and Rev. Leonard Z. Johnson the benedic GRAND RECITAL Chairman of the Frederick Douglass Centenary Committee which planned the Douglass Day celebrations in this city. BOSTON REVERES DOUGLASS' MEMORY Boston, Mass., Feb. 15—Colored residents of Boston observed yesterday the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, the orator, statesman and Abolitionist. The city had taken official cognizance of the event by dedicating the open space at the junction of Tremont, Cabot and Hammond streets as Frederick Douglass square and the mayor had requested the display of flags from public buildings and business houses. In State street many flags were displayed. Public schools were observing the anniversary with appropriate exercises, but the principal events of the day were in Faneuil Hall. The exercises in Faneuil Hall were held under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League, assisted by a citizen's auxiliary committee of Boston, the foremono session being attended by about sixty Negro men and women. On the platform were many speakers and singers, and a bust and a picture of Frederick Douglass. William M. Trotter presided and in his introductory address referred to the humble origin of the hero of the day and his rise to high honors. The orator of the first session was John E. Gilman, past commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., who pleased his audience with a detailed account of how Department Commander James H. Wolf, a Negro veteran, was raised to that position by the Grand Army posts of Massachusetts, and then made judge advocate general at a national encampment. The speaker won applause for the assertion that Massachusetts draws no color line and the Grand Army of the Republic draws no color line. They stand for the principles of freedom which Douglas believed in and fought for. Councillor James [A. Watson] was the next speaker, representing the City Council. At the afternoon session the speakers included Mrs. Ella Lee, Mrs. Cravath Simpson, Lieutenant Governor Coolidge, Hon. Moorefield Storey, Dr. Marion F Sydes and Mrs. Henrietta Peters. out the country include courses in biographies of distinguished Negroes for colored schools, thanking the local School Board for making possible the celebration of Douglass Day in colored public schools and pledging President Wilson sympathetic and patriotic assistance in the present international crisis. The celebration was planned by a committee, of which Dr. Ernest Lyon was chairman; James Henry Hammond, secretary; Howard E. Young, assistant secretary, and J. H. Murphy, treasurer. The chairmen of the various committees follow: BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1917 IMPRESSIVE SERVICES AT FRED. DOUGLASS SCHOOL Handsome Bronze Tablet Unveiled Wednesday Afternoon. Prominent Men Deliver Addresses With hundreds of parents and pupils in attendance, a handsome bronze tablet for the Frederick Douglass School Mount and Saratoga streets, was formally unveiled Wednesday afternoon. The exercises were held in Macedonia Baptist Church, which is in the rear of the school. Mr. James W. Chapman, president of the School Board, delivered a well-received address in which he contrasted the difficulties under which Frederick Douglass labored to get an education and the comparative ease with which children can get their training now. He urged that all seek the highest development possible. Mr. Charles J. Koch, superintendent of schools, delivered a brief address in which he paid a tribute to the life and achievements of the anti-slavery orator. Miss Rachel Ross gave an illuminating account of the life of the man for whom the school was named. Mr. Elmer Henderson presented the tablet to the school on behalf of the Frederick Douglass Civic and Educational Association. Mr. Haley G. Douglass, of Washington, a grandson of Mr. Douglass, unveiled the tablet. In unveiling the tablet, Mr. Douglass called attention to the fact that seventy-nine years ago, his grandfather reached his majority, and that the youth of that day enjoyed no such advantages as do those of today. The young colored people of today, he said, must have had famous ancestors even if they were not aware of the fact, and should try to live up to the highest traditions. He called attention to the fact that Rochester had honored the memory of Frederick Douglass by erecting a monument to him, that Boston that very day (Wednesday) had dedicated a street to his memory and that Baltimore should follow in the wake of the two cities. Dr. Arthur Bibbins a member of the School Board, presented the school a portrait of Leonard Calvert and one of the Star Spangled Banner medals. Mr. Harry J. Hunt gave the school library several books on Douglass, which was followed by an address of acceptance by Prof. Joseph H. Lockerman. Mr. Wm. H. McAbee read a history of the school The invocation was by Dr. D. G. Mack and the benediction by Rev. P. J. Jordan.

Cannon, of Jersey City, was here a few days ago at the head of a delegation of colored men who are interested in the bill of Assemblyman Glover of Bergen which is designed to guarantee the colored people equal rights in restaurants and other public places of that kind. With Dr. Cannon came J. E. Sadler of Montclair, Hamilton Travis, of Orange and Samuel B. Branch, of Bayonne. They represented the New Jersey Colored Men's Equal Rights Association. "It may be news to a lot of people to be told that respectable colored men often have to go hungry in a large city like Newark because of the discrimination against colored people," said Dr. Cannon. "I have been on Broad street, Newark, late at night or early in the morning and have been denied service in one restaurant after another. The spirit of intolerance is not so bad in Jersey City, but in Essex county the situation is very deplorable. It is time that in a civilized country like the United States the respectable colored man were accorded decent treatment." CUT TEACHERS' SALARY Portsmouth, Va., February 14.—When the new salary increases for teachers were made here a few days ago colored teachers were grossly discriminated against. White teachers in the elementary schools are to begin at $400 a year and increase $550 a year until a minimum of $750 is reached. Colored female elementary teachers start at $250 and increase $25 a year until $450 is reached. HOWARD FIFTY YEARS OLD Washington, D. C., February 15.

CITIZENS HONOR EDITOR MURPHY Testimonial Banquet At Pythian Hall One Of The Finest Ever Held Here The long, unselfish and little-heralded services that John H. Murphy, publisher of the Afro-American has rendered for racial uplift, were extolled at a banquet given at Pythian Castle Hall Thursday night. The function was given in honor of Mr. Murphy by a committee of gentlemen under the chairmanship of Captain George W. Brown, and men in all walks of life attended, thus showing the general esteem in which the veteran editor is held. The banquet was most acceptably served by Caterer Logan Jenkins and began shortly after nine o'clock. Following the disposal of the appetizing menu, Attorney George W. F. McMechen, was introduced as toastmaster by Captain Brown. Chris J. Perry, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, and president of the National Negro Press Association, told of the wide esteem in which Mr. Murphy is held as an editor and praised his work for the upbuilding of the Afro-American. Rev. A. L. Gaines paid a fine tribute to the guest of honor, reciting his services for the race along uplift lines. Warner T. McGuinn told of the hostility of the daily press when it comes to publishing the bright side of the race, pictured the trials that fall to the lot of a race editor and declared that the guest of honor had blazed the trail in chronicleing events of racial moment. Dr. Ernest Lyon declared that the guest of honor had always appealed to him because of "his intense love for liberty and hatred of all oppression." Rev. George F. Bragg told of his long association with the editor of the Afro-American and said he was acquainted with his films and ideals. Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, in a well received address, praised the work of the race press and said that editors bring to the front things needed for the the people, address punctuated with good stories, Dr. W. A. Sinclair, of Philadelphia, praised the work of the editor and told of two recent attempts to get Mr. Murphy to accept flattering positions out of the city. When Toastmaster McMechen introduced the guest of the evening he was greeted with a flattering ovation. After asserting that he thought he hardly deserved it, the good things that had been said about him, Mr. Murphy advised his hearers to work for community and racial up- "I am afraid that many of us" he went on to say, "think because we are colored, that we have no civic responsibilities, considering ourselves a thing apart in the community. I would that all of us would consider ourselves a part of the community and work toward racial and general betterment." "We must get behind our professional and business men, and adequately support them. In this room there is enough brain and capability, properly directed to shape the destiny of the race in Baltimore. We must work for the larger things and then we will merit general confidence." Musical numbers were furnished by Rev. Charles E. Stewart, Mr. Howard D. Bront, Mr. Ernest Purviance and Mr. John W. Brown At the conclusion of the speechtaking, Dr. Lyon proposed a toast to the President of the United States. Dr. W. A. Sinclair, Chrs. J.

The report of the committee in charge of the acair was made at a stag tendered the minstrels and others who helped to make the affair a success, at the residence of Dr. John Robinson. The expenses included $1,440 for hurl, 85.00 for permits, $2.50 for forking, $42.00 for music, $2,00 for chairs, $20.00 for printing and $13.17 for incidental expenses, valued $125.07. The total, receipts, were $529.22. The committee reported that $400.00 would be immediately turned over to the Board of Directors of the hospital. Expressions of appreciation were also given to St. Katharine's Church and its minstrels, Messrs.

S310 RAISED FOR NURSERY A successful queen's rally for the benefit of the Day nursery was held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church Thursday evening.

This sum will be used in paying for the improvements that have been made at the Nursery building on Druid Hill avenue near Preston street. The institution now practically receives only the small amount that a working mother gives for the care of her child and is therefore largely dependent upon the charity of the community. Mrs. Jennie H. Ross is president of the institution. KER-MAR MANAGER IN VIRGINIA Mr. Harvey R.

Miss Nannie Burroughs, head of the National Training School for Girls, is ‘attempting to raise $3,000 In ten doys for'the erection of a trades hall. Her slogan is “This country is more in need of trained servants than it Is of trained soldiers" . caRErRS IN BUSINESS ‘A recent Bulletin from Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, shows that this school Is making an effort to popularize its courses in business by attracting those whom the lure of a literary taining does not ordinarily bring to a university. “Commercial training for colored youth is justified on the one hand by the constantly in- creasing demand among colored busi- ness men for trained assistants— stenographers, book-keepers, account fants and other skilled help. On the other hand, a large proportion of the young men who enter the field of com- merce as a life undertaking, look for- ward to becoming proprietors and managers.” It is worth noting that the man of ‘a quarter of a century ago who want- ea to learn a business, stopped schoo! ‘and went to work—in order to know it thoroly from bottom to top. With no special training to recommend him, in muny cases he seldom rot wery tur from the bottom. “fle few that _srexked "their way to the top where they owned and operated business en- terprises, found that they had used so ‘much effort in working up, that little strength remained for advance after that. : Nowadays the Bulletin reminds us, Courses In Commerce in the school= ~aré offered with the view of giving a sufficient degree of skill In the techni- cal phases of office work to enable a young mtan to enter a business enter- prise prepared to render a definite service. Not only does he learn some phase of his own business but in ad- @ition ho gains an appreciation of dusiness organization as @ whole and Decomes therefore a surer and more intelligent worker in his own fletd. ‘The bulletin contains a selected list of sunipaniens in which Negroes in une LS. are engaged. The occupa- tions shown are those whieh, from their very nature, seem to require training in Commerce, Finance and Accounts. Among these oncupations, appear Managers and Superintendents of Manufacturing Concerns to the number of 270, Olficinis of Manufac- turing Concerns, 44, Manufacturers, 2,227. In the field of commerce or trade is shown, 135 Bankers and Bunk Officints, 76 Commercial Hrokers and Commission Men, 1,728 Insurance Agents, 105 Officials of Insurance Companies, 762 Real Estate - Agents, and OMeisis, 20,653" Retail Dealers, and many others. | _/From the sixty-one thousand colored sen, who are engaged in business in this country, it is not diffienlt to pick out individuals like Hugh M. Burkete, real estate dealer in this city, and, Charles S. Carter, tallor in Norfolk, Virginia, both reported to ke doing + Dusiness of more than $50,000 per year. George Giles, Kend of the knit- ting mill in Ocala, Florida. is said to be doing a, business worth $100,000: while several ably managed insurance companies, Jed by John Merrick and the- North Carolina Mutuat have in “force policies worth in the aggregate ‘over twenty-five millions, with ayear- Jy business of three millions, Such quotations as these are the Best evidence that there is an unusual @emand for trained business men, and ‘that men “who can deliver the goods” pcan-find in business an opening for a ‘career such as is offered in no other field. "The idea has been advanced that the man who wanted to make a career should go into the professions, and become a doctor, lawyer or school teacher. Since. the rapid . develop- ‘nent of business has showed that a \comnineree’and industry, businessmen have recognized: the necessity: of ‘aiv= ing their ‘sons a-business. education: ALATOR MOTON’S STORY ~ Many of ‘our readers are familiar with the following story told by Major Moton recently at the celebration of Founder's Day at Hampton Institute, where he was the principal speaker. ‘The major told the story to indicate the fact that the kindness between the races in the South is not altogether a thing of the past, and that “all white men are not lynehers and haters.” ‘A Nogro was under Indictment for ‘murder, When the case was called in the superior court, it is said that Gen- eral Toombs arose and said: “Mr. Clerk, mark my name as counsel for the defendant.” ‘The State's witnesses made a plausible case against the ac- ‘cused, At last the time for the defense arrived. General Toombs began: “May it please the court and you gentlemen of the jury. At the battle of Gettys- burg, when General Pickett’s charge had been repulsed, « Confederate colo- nel, severely wounded, was left on the field, ‘The Federals were raking the ground with their batteries and no soldier dared to rescue his leader. At that moment a black form was seen to move forward through the Confederate lines, and, in spite of the lead and iron ‘hail he rushed to the wounded officer. ‘He took: hint in his arms tenderly and jcurricd him back to safety, ‘That eolonel was my brother. A hero who couid do that at Gettysburg cannot be a murderer today. Stand up, ‘Tom, and open your shirt.” The Negro did as divected, showing the scar of the sound received in his heroie devotion. General ‘Toombs left the case with the Southern white men of that jury who Immediately returned a verdict of not guilty. While the story indicates the point Major Moton had in mind that there are sincere friendships between white ‘and colored men in the South, it also affords another instance of the fre- aueney with whieh white Juries in the South decide cases on their feelings rather than on its merits, LATE TATERARY NEWS One of the reasons, probably, why our people, at least a large clus of them, do not have more ruce pride than ‘they do is largely because they know so little about what the race his accomplished. ‘There is little doubt, that, if better acquainted with the thousand,and one things the race has done many of us would have a great eat more race pride than we have. Moreover, it would be well if our teachers and others would make them selves more acquainted with thes facts and ‘thus be enabled to show them t6'the children thru which much good might be accomplished, Bette Wloumal of Negro History” i Just one of those publications that ‘should be on the table of every Negro jeacher, whether in the city or conn- ty, and no teacher or public man should feel that he knows all that can be known about the race without such pnbiaw inns ns thoes, Volumn 2 No. 1 is now from the press and ix well worth the price pald and the time taken to read it, Subscription price 25 cents the copy, 30 cents by mail, or $1.00 the year, ‘The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Incorporated, 1216 You street, N.

C. ‘A, came to a close Tuesday evening when Daniel Cassell defeated Daniel ‘Murphy by a score of 200 to 160. Cas- sell played a consistent game through- out while Murphy was erratic at times. At no time, however, did he seriously press Cassell, coming nearest to the victor at the end of the first one hun- dred points when the score was 100 to $9. As a result of winning the final mateh Cassell wins the cue which was offered by Secretary Booker. ‘There were about 20 players entered in the test and Interest was keen from the beginning of the tournament until the end. Preparations are now under way for the selection of players to meet the team from the Washington Y. M. © A. on the 22nd of February. Five of the best players in the loci! associn- tion will compose the team. It is ex- pected that as soon as the rating from the recent tournament is posted that the "champs" and near “champs” will issue chailenges to the leaders in or- der that they may get “balm” for their wounded feelings by being defeated by the “short-titils.”” TAMPTON WINS FROM LINCOLN IN BASKET BALL CONTSET By Lawrence A. lee | Hampton, Va, February 12.—The Hampton Insutute basketban team proved its superiority to the Orange and Blue squad of Lincoln University by defeating them by the margin .of fone point. Lincoln outplayea “the Blue and White machine in the first half, but the latter half proved fatal to. the visitors. Time and again they delay- fed the game with no intention other than to got rest. ‘Phe Seasiders, as usual, began the second half with lightning — speed, which was kept up throughout the re- maining part of the game. ‘At one time, it seemed as though the Lincolnites were to be the victors, but after J. Dorsey stepped into his position, things made a radical change. During the entire first half, Hamp- ton was unable to cage a field gout, Edwards made six foul goals out of the eight chances, while Lincoln made five field goais and two foul goals dur- ing the first half. ‘The first halt end- ed with the score 12 to 6 in Lincoln's favor. ‘The second halt started with Gur- noe, Miser and Pierson as Hampton's freshmen, while Lincoln substituted Henderson for Butler, Capt. Edwards and Gurnoe began to find the basket in the early part of this halt, and it was all that the Young brothers could do to stop the Seasiders from shooting, In the last few minutes of play, Hampton tied the score. Owing to the fact that Lincoln had ‘six men on the court, Iteferee Thomp- son called a foul on them. After a lengthy debate the Lincolnites gave in, Edwards made the goal, placing Hampton one point ahead of the Orange and Blue. ‘The game ended with the final score 22 to 22 in the Virginians’ favor. Both teams deserve much credit for the fast team work that was exhibited, but it is suggested that basketball teams leave their debaters at home, for the referees are not always willing to hold a debate with the captain while his teammates are getting rest- ea. ‘The tine wp: = Tampton (25) Lincoln (22) Gurnoe L, F.

C., showing the life, character and its mysteries. Here is a short extract from the Washington Herald: "There are seven kinds of hands," said Rev. James Gordon yesterday at the First Congregational Church. Teen and G streets northwest in his sermon, "The Science of Palmistry, or Character as Revealed in the Hand." They are the square, the full, the horny, the sensitive, the artistic, the composite, and the long. The index to character is the hand. Infancy, maidenhood, strength, weakness, toil, greed, affection, death and royalty are all seen in the hand. "Think of the flexibility of the hand. The music master, artist, mechanic, actor, politician, soldier, and lover are all seen in the hand formation. The marvelous adaptability of the hand is a study in itself. Ancients studied the hand as they did astrology. Palmistry is the result of study along these lines. Ten thousand lines in the hand stand for as many characteristics in life. "Strong character or weak character is seen in the hand lines. History and prophecy are just what you put into them. Design is seen in the hand. "Scientific identification was first brought to light by the Chinese in thumb study. The most wonderful hand is that of the infant. Left-handed people are a blessing in bringing humanity back to a balanced life. The science of handshaking is advancing. It speaks volumes for cordiality, dignity, aloofness, love and whole heartedness. The value of the hand is incalculable. Authority is the result of the work of the hand. Sculpture abounds in emphasis of the moral qualities of the hand. The consecrated hand is now doing unbounded good. The Great Hand of history is the Pierced Hand of Christ. "All altruistic service is the outcome of the touch 'Of the Hand That was Wounds I for us." CONSULT THE ROUMANIAN PALMIST LEO S. OSMAN 1625 PENNSYLVANIA AVE.

MIDNIGHT TELLS OF SOME EXPERIENCES Indianapolis, Ind.—Is the white man sincere? Does he mean to do the right thing and to see to it that the members of my race get justice? As they stand, these two questions mean nothing to the readers of the Afro-American, and I am going to try to explain myself and you will join me in the question, and then perhaps some may feel like shouting and others may have the week heart and cry. Of course I have been to many places since I wrote to you last, and I am going to many before you get through reading this letter, for while you will be reading it, I will be in a place where I was just two weeks ago, Calviston, Texas, and will rush away from there. New Orleans, Houston, Crowley, La., Mobile, Ala., Montgomery. Ala., and then a trip over to Tuskegee Institute, and it was returning from that noted institution which caused me to ask the question. Not the mere fact of my returning from the school would not cause the question, but what I saw in returning on the wagon, between Chebaw and Montgomery. Seven young men of our race were coined together, headed for the penitentiary, of course. Sitting right behind them was a woman with a baby in her arms. I was sented just behind her, and fell in conversation with her, extended sympathy to the young men, for they were all young men. Sitting opposite was a white man. No. two white men were there, and I concluded that they were the guards. "They have got me too," said the woman, and for a few minutes I was speechless. She represented the white man's contribution to our race, and the baby thirteen months old also represented his contribution to our race. I was anxious then to know more, and wondered why they were sending a woman with a baby to penitentiary. "They have sent me for three years" she continued, "but I think I will get out of it soon, because I have left at home four children, and my oldest girl is 16." "Why did they send you to such a place?" I asked. "For living with that white man over there. I think it was simply a case of prejudice. It is a shame to send an old man like that to the pen. He is too old to go there, and should be let out," speaking of the man sitting by the guard, looking wise like he was really a guard himself. "How much time did he get?" I asked. "He got three times. I felt like singing "Fraise God from Whom all Egregias Flow." I looked at the little child, and then thought of what would be one of the woman, or the child. Would he become a criminal. For humanity's sake I could not help have a feeling for her and the child, but then I said that I thanked God that there was one case where the white man had tried to do the right thing, and I hope he means to break it up. I shall ever take off my hat to that judge of Opelia, Ala., although I may not know his name. Since it is against the law for them to marry, then it should be against the law for them to live together. There are some other cases in the South where I wish the white man would wake up, for I don't believe in mixing. I said that I had been to Tuskegee Institute, and I have, but did not get to see Dr. Robert R. Moton, because he was away making a speech in Hampton, and he made some speech there. But I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Scott, that fine young man who is secretary of the institution also of the National Negro Business League. Dr. Moton and Mr. Emmett J. Scott are pulling side by side, and hand in hand for the success of Tuskegee Institute. No man was closer to Dr. Washington than Emmett J. Scott, and he knew the educator's mind almost as well as he knew it himself. All plans are now being arranged for the next session of the Business League, and it will pay you to be there, and you should commence now getting ready to be in the bunch. I hope Editor Murphy will be on hand this time. I found Mr. Scott in the midst of many papers and letters, yet he found time to exchange; few words with me and was ready to do anything in his power for my comfort while at Tuskegee Institute. I met Banker Gover and his wife—in fact I am always welcome to their home and they feel slighted if I do not take a real ment with them. I shook hands with Mrs. Booker T. Washington Booker, Washington T. Washington, and then learned that J. H. Washington was sick in the hospital, but I did not get to see him. I am now on my way to Chicago, and will say that I made a trip to Beaumont, Crowley, New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta, and stopped by to see the newspaper men at work. They had a nice session of the National Negro Press Association, and was presided over by Editor C. J. Perry, of the Philadelphia Tribune, and chairman of the executive board. Joseph Jones, was on hand. They were visited by Supreme Chancellor S. L. Green, of New Orleans. Of course Nashville has not tired of them, as all the usual courtesies were extended. Editor Chism was absent, at there were others. I talked with some of them editors, and had a hearty welcome from them. J. L. Jones was very kind to me. They are now getting ready for the great meeting in St. Louis. Mo., the meeting of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. I think I am going to be there myself. Death continues its work among us. The wife of Editor R. E. Jones, of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, and one of the great women of our race, and just as I was about to in the name of God, commit her body to mother earth, message reached me that Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion Church had paid the same debt. One by one we are leaving here. I suppose soon I will be called upon to correct the errors of our dear President Woodrow Wilson. He has made many blunders in dealing with National affairs, but he is our president and we must support him in them, remembering that he is only a human being. But I wish that he had kept us away from Germany, for I am afraid of germs and Germans, because both mean death. Thinking about war, I can hardly sleep night or day.

Dear Christian friends: I would like to call your attention for a short time concerning the Queens' Rallies and all the public affairs that have been going on in the churches in the past, the present and those that are to be in the future. I am speaking to the Christian people, that believe in Jesus Christ our Lord, who died on the cross, that we all may have everlasting life and who takes away the sins of the world through his blood. Do you think that the Queens' Rally and the public affairs such as entertainments and so on is a success to the churches, for the Gospel of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ? Are these the means of saving souls or teaching us the way to obtain eternal life for Jesus sake? These are the questions I ask today of Christians, Bishops, Ministers, Evangelists or all that confess they love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul mind and strength? I think they are not. I am a woman of twenty-five years of age. I started to serve God at 11 years old, I am glad to say. Now I don't mean I have kept all ten commandments without breaking one, for I will say I have made some mistakes in life, but I have tried hard by faith and prayer, not to make the same ones over again. I believe the Lord has forgiven me and I can still say the Lord is my light and salvation of whom shall I fear. Any one that fears the Lord, their God, should fear him enough not to give Queens' Rallies and many other things that are given in God's temple of worship and prayer. Read St. Mark, 14th chapter, 15, 16, 17 verses, for as far as I can read and know, that is what the church of God was meant for and not for the things that are given at this day and present time. The Wright Quality The ministers of the A. M. E. and M. E. and some of the other churches will say don't go to dances, moving pictures and theatres. Keep away from those places, they are not the House of God. Come to the House of God and serve him. Sinners be cleansed, get God in your heart, become converted, and let all of us Christian people get and live closer to God and God will bless us more. Now I don't know how many sinners have been converted. I don't know how many blessings any other Christians have got, but I, trying, to be a Christian, can speak for myself and say. I have never seen any converts and I don't feel as God has blessed me with the Holy Ghost in any of the affairs I have just spoken of. If so let me know in next week's paper and I will look at myself and find out what is wrong with me. Some may say look at the money they bring to the churches. Yes, that is true, but there are a good many things we have to bring money into the churches with, that are a sin before God and man. Some may say, if God did not intend for them to go on he would not let the church stand. Everything that starts in life stands for a time and when that time is out it falls and sometimes great indeed is the fall. Now, friends, the statements I make may be wrong, but if they are I hope each and every one may forgive me, for we have to forgive each other to expect God to forgive us. Oh how good it is to have a conscience to teach us the right from the wrong. I do thank God that he has blessed us all with that sense and every one of us have it, but sometime we let the wrong partake too much possession of us. Now, I don't tell any one God has showed me these things in visions or dreams, but He has spoken to me through my own heart and soul. Many Christians say they have faith in God. We may have faith in God for all things and if we will have faith in God we will get money to help our churches, the poor and needy ones, with out all of the public affairs that we have going on now. We can get it through faith, hope and prayer from God our Heavenly Father. Some may say why do you speak of the Bishops and Ministers and all who teach us of God's works. WHY, because they are our leaders, and if they, everyone would unite and speak against them, some one's conscience would condemn them and they would say Amen and mean every word from the heart. Money is not everything. What is the use gaining the whole world and losing your soul. It means nothing but an everlasting punishment. Now, I myself was asked to be a queen. I accepted the invitation. I had never attended any Queens' Rallies until I attended the one I was in, but I did not expect it to be as it was. So I started and I finished and won the crown. What did I gain? A glad hand share from many people, that was all I wanted. I would not accept of anything, if it had been offered, for that is what is the matter today, people want too much pay for what they do for bearing the cross of Jesus. But, what did I gain above? I have not felt yet that I gained the crowns for my soul I gained the crowns for my soul I wanted to win is that everlasting crown, not made by hands, for bearing the cross of Jesus. The gowns that were worn. Should be for Jesus Christ. The banners we hold should be for Jesus Christ. The countries we represent should be countries for Jesus Christ. The throne we all want to sit upon should be the throne of Almighty God. Am I right or wrong? For if we take the money for our paper we have to pay for our gowns, we have to buy for our complex beauties and our general beauty both men and women, and the children whose parents send them to take part in one; the gas we burn at nights for rehearsals, the coal we burn and the time we take in preparing for them, and give it all to God's house in worship and prayer, you all could see how much better things would go on and our poor and needy ones would be much better on today than they are. I do hope and trust the day will come when God's holy temple will be for worship and prayer only, for if things keep going on we will not have time to pray for taking time for Queen's Rallies and the things I spoke of in this paper. I can't write all at present, for if I did the Afro-American would be full. Pray for me Christian friends. If my statements are wrong, I may be forgiven and if they are right, I may keep on with God's work, is my prayer for Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. Yours Most respectfully, A. E. W. Samuel T.

If you hear a song that thrills you, Song by any child of song. Praise it. Do not let the singer Wait deserved praises long. Why should one who thrills your heart Lack the joy you may impart? If you hear a prayer that moves you By its humble pleading tone, Join it. Do not let the secker Low before his God alone. Why should not your brother share The strength of two or three in earth. If you see the hot tears falling From a brother's weeping eyes, Share them and by kindly sharing Own your kinship with the skies. Why should any one be glad When a brother's heart is sad? If a silvery laugh goes ripping Thru the sunshine on his face. Share it. 'Tis the wise man's saying— For both grief and joy a place. There's health and goodness in the mirth In which all honest laugh has birth. If your work is made more easy By a friendly helping hand, Say so. Speak out brave and truely, Ere the darkness veil the land. Should a brother workman dear Father for a word of cheer? NEVER LET YOUR HEART GROW COLD He was just one of many, a young old man I called him, because he seemed so spry and so contented. I often looked at him as he walked so independently up and down the street or sat by the hour on his porch in a comfortable old rocker with his cane beside him, either reading his daily paper or entertaining some little child, then one day, I wondered what he would do when the weather became too cold for him to take his daily walk or enjoy his comfortable rocker. I often heard the young woman who lived there call him to his meals, and her daily "Dinner's ready" "Don" or "Don't stay too long, its rather hot today and its cooler on the porch" was as familiar to my cars as the old man was to my legs. I missed him on the street and his always cheerful greeting of "Not this a lovely day, caused me to shaken my pace and walk along with him." "You seem to enjoy your walks," I said. "Yes!" he replied, "I'm getting old now and can't do very much—I do enjoy pottering around in the garden in the early mornings—but children are queer and they are so afraid I'll get sick. The I must say Sally is a dear, better than my own child, then I own her boy, a fine boy I tell you, as he never cares about my age and thinks anything I do is alright. So I potter around in the garden, take walks and do as I like when I stay with Ed." Of course I did not know who was Ed or Sally and I said, "Is it your son Ed you are staying with now?" "Yes, that is Ed-I stay most of the time with him because its like a home" he answered. "The other children live in different places, and I don't care much about visiting them because they seem to think I'm too old to go around alone, and they want to regulate my meals and my bed hour and I simply can't stand it. I like to go out in the evenings when and where I please." He turned and looked at me and said, "Young woman do you have a father or a mother?" "I have a dear good father," I replied. "Does he ever come to see you?" he asked. "Sometimes"—I answered—"Why?" "Because I just want to tell you," he said, "that we like to be made a lot of, but we don't like to be bossed and I just that I'd tell you, if you had one that if he is past seventy he does not like to be reminded of it by continual mugging. Don't do this and don't do that. That's why I like Sally. she's so sensible, and when I don't like something, and say so she says "Alright Pop—whatever you say goes and she does it my way and just when I want it done and does not get angry and argue about things and tell me, I'm too old to go here or there. I was out in Cleveland last week to see my daughter Ella, and she even wanted to send one of the boys home with me, telling me I'm too old to travel alone, and me just eighty six last March." I fairly gasped—but I laughed and said, "I do you travel much?" "Yes," he said "a good bit, around to see the children, but I always drift back to kid and Sally." "Don't you like the large cities," I asked. "top in the world to me." Now Ella and Jennifer will kiss me on the check or give me a peek on the top of the head and give me. "Now father you had better eat your dinner now or don't eat your supper so late, it isn't good for your digestion," and I get mad clear thru. And he stamped his name so hard I thot it would go thru the movement. "Thank you." I said, "Till profit by what you have told me, but I must leave you here, I'm going in this direction." "Well, well," he said "I don't know when I've talked so much to a stranger," and he laughed. "But I've enjoyed walking with you and hope I'll see you again." I went on my way thinking of all the things this father had told me and I can't help but think, how few of us realize the importance of duty and love to our parents and how little of love we give them, or how quick some of us are to think they are in the way. Our hearts are so cold that it would take many electric shocks to warm them and put them into working order again. Like my stranger friend's daughters—we are so self-centered and so enthusied with ourselves and of our own importance, we have crowded out love for those near and dear to us. As my stranger friend talked I could not help but think of the quaint old song "Never let your heart grow old Never let your heart grow cold. I looked often at my stranger friend as he talked, and his face was seamed with lines of care and his hair snow white, and as he talked of the children he had sacrificed for—and worked for so many years, and then would branch off about Ed and Sally, I wondered not very long if his heart was old or cold, autho his children seemed to be busy with their own affairs and had not much time for his, I could see that Ed and Sally were keeping his heart from growing old or cold. It’s a simple little melody and once you hear it your heart will keep time to the melody and you will find yourself humming over and over again. “Never let your heart grow old. Never let your heart grow cold.” I think there are many of us who need to take the advice from the little song. If you keep your heart young and warm you are able to scatter seeds of kindness, make some one's task lighter and the world will be the better for your having lived in it. SULPHUR IN SHOES A GRIP BILL A Dr. Angel has discovered that men who work in sulphur mines are immune from grip. The discovery led to experiments which were said to indicate that sulpher prevented the disease, and but a few mild cases developed where sulpher was worn in the shoes. It is recommended that a teaspoonful of sulphur be sprinkled in the sole of each shoe and worn during the duration of the epidemic. Dr. Angel, whose practice among the working classes is very large, says that the data he had kept proves conclusively that the disease rarely, if ever attacks a person so armed against it. Simple isn't it? and costs such a little compared to doctor's bills. BROOKVILLE ITEMS Brookville, Md., Feb. 14.—Brookville Circuit has just closed one of the most successful years it has seen for the last thirty years. What now constitutes the new circuit was formerly connected with Catonsville and Mt. Airy charges. The district superintendent, Rev. Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, made a division of the two charges and made a new circuit consisting of Mt. Zion, Howard Chapel and Daisy. None of these churches had a membership of over thirty-three persons, but in comparison to the other churches of larger membership, this circuit has led the entire district this conference year. The quarterly conference was held on Friday night of last week and the pastor reported all his benevolences, his salary practically paid, two churches repaired and a fair ingathering of members. Rev. L. L. Williams is the pastor. HAGERSTOWN NEWS Hagerstown, Md., Feb. 15.—Being Founder's Day at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church last Sunday, the name of Allen and the church and its development founded by him, supplied the theme of a very interesting and inspiring discourse by the pastor, Rev. G. H. West, at the morning service. At 2:45 p. m. the Sunday School rendered the following program: opening exercise by the superintendent; paper, Mrs. Mollie Robinson; recitation, Miss Ira Toney; selection, beginners' class; trio, B. F. Lee, Anna Sullivan and Martha Franklin; after which Miss Getrude Johnson, Mrs. Anna Sullivan and Mrs. Matilda Matthews discussed in excellent papers: "Allen and His Church." Mrs. Martha Franklin told of Allen's Tomb at Mother Bethel, Philadelphia, with what reverence she approached it, registering her name, etc. These numbers were interspersed with five piano solos by scholars of the Sunday School, Clarence Lewis, Alice Jones, Annie Harmon, Consuela Brown and Preda Simpson. Rev. J. C. Newman, Mrs Hattie Newman, Prof. Benj. Smith and Joseph Jones addressed the meeting. "Lincoln and the Negro's Progress Since Emancipation," was the subject of the pastor's address at the evening service. Everybody declared it had been a great day. Hundreds went away helped and inspired. At the close of the evening service a committee of five ladies, Mesdames Eliza Douglass, Florence Keys, Mary Simpson, Zeaurean Barnum and Gertrude Johnston reported $19.32 as proceeds from chicken supper last Thursday night. The Helping Hand gave a successful oyster supper last Tuesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Clark, Jonathan street. Special exercises in commemoration of Abraham Lincoln were held in the public schools of Hagerstown last Monday afternoon. The people of Asbury M. E. Church and the Second Christian Church turned out in large crowds on Sunday afternoon to witness the baptizing of Miss Florence Holly, who was recently converted at Asbury Church. She was baptized in the pool at the Second Christian Church. The services were very impressive, conducted by Rev. F. C. Cothrine and Rev. E. H. Johnson. Music by Asbury choir. At $ p. m. Miss Holly was received into full membership at Asbury Church, and Miss Bessie Williams was received by letter from the Williamsport Charge.
