Prof. Chas. Alexander on Conditions in Texas Match our Next Issue for Con- Volume 27 Match our Next I DOWN IN TEXAS By Prof. Charles Alexander 1584 West 37th Street Chapter 1. The climate of Southern California has been rather perverse and intractable of late. Heretofore it has had a fine reputation. It has been enthusiastically praised by tourists for years as absolutely the best thing in the State. The flowers are beastful, the birds sing sweetly, the women dress well; but the snushine has been the chief glory of the section in all the past years. A great T. H. change has come over the region of late. The climatic perversity has been alarming. Much vain boasting has brought about a strange condition of affairs. Mr. Climate, pompous, vainglorious, has stubbed his toe and flattened his nose. But what is climate anyway? According to Webster it is the normal condition of a place in relation to various phenomena of the atmosphere, as temperature, moisture, etc., especially as they affect animal and vegetable life. But the Century is more elaborate. It says that climate is the characteristic condition of a country or region in respect to amount or variations of heat and cold, moisture and dryness, wind and calm, etc.; especially the combined result of all the meteorological phenomena of any region, as affecting its animal or vegetable productions, the health, comfort, pursuits, and intellectual development of mankind, etc. The climatic peculiarities of Southern California in recent months has reduced the boaster to a limpidity like unto the dish cloth. If some of the inhabitants who left the State twenty-five years ago would return and look this Mr. Climate in the face I am sure they would not recognize him. They would surely exclaim: "Oh, how you have changed!" It has been said of California, no section of country in the world is more favored or can boast of so delightful a climate as the valley lands of this great State. There are two seasons here, the wet and the dry. And this division of the year into two seasons is just what I am driving at. The wet season has of late been entirely too wet, and the dry season too dry. In MUTIL times past during the months of March and February the air in Southern California has been very mild, the sky perfectly clear, and the landscape gay with flowers of every hue; but this year the sky has been a dull gray, the air damp and chilly; and in February particularly, the landscape has been mostly mud. Now some real estate "booster" will feel offended. I am sure, when I tell the truth about this matter of climate; but the truth is the only thing worth telling. No longer does the soft sunshine bring to the cheek of the maiden the bloom and glow of the rose or the gentle showers make the earth smile with abundant fruit and vegetation. This word climate is used in meteorology to indicate the consumption or general result of all the solar and terrestrial influences that affect animal and vegetable life. Temperature, rainfall, barometric pressure and relative humidity, moisture, inclination of the sun, cloudiness, wind—all go to make up climate; and Southern California has heretofore enjoyed the reputation of having a very choice assortment and fine quality of these elements of climate. But when we look back to last February, especially the twentieth, the twenty-first and the twenty-second, we, who have been beguiled into believing ourselves immune from storms and floods and chilly blasts, and all the rest, must have become suddenly and convincingly disillusionized. But with all its newly acquired faults "I love the California." It was my good fortune to catch the first train out of Eos Angeles going South on the Southern Pacific, at 3:20 o'clock in the afternoon of February 23rd, immediately after the disastrous flood which played havoc with railroads and telegraph lines, cutting off all connection with the outside world. I was due in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday, February 22d, but did not reach that city until Tuesday night, February 24th, at 11:30. I spent two days in El Paso and several hours in Juarez, Mexico. After leaving Los Angeles, going south there is very little to be seen en route, save small towns and desert country. Yuma, a very hot place, and Tucson, Arizona, Lordsburg and Deming in New Mexico are the most important towns, and they are not large or alluring. El Paso is a prosperous town, having one very large and beautiful hotel, as well as many smaller ones, several fine bank buildings, and two bridges crossing a dry river bed. El Paso is one of the chief gateways leading into Mexico and it is gaining rapidly in population. There is a fine group of colored people in El Paso. Most of these people live in their own property and several men and women are said to be rich. The principal of the colored high school in El Paso is Prof. William Coleman, a man of high character and winning personality. Soft of speech and gentle of spirit, he is a genuine leader of men. He is most generally esteemed by all classes of citizens. Los Angeles, Cal., MAY 8, 1914 He is Grand Master of the Masonic Grand-Lodge, and on account of his interest and untiring efforts, the Fraternity has a very fine brick building located in a flourishing section of the city. Several of the business enterprises are well supported, notably a large restaurant and a fine barber shop. The hotel where I stopped had as its guest a number of men of distinction, among them Lieut. Henry O. Flipper, the first Negro graduate of the Military Academy at West Point. It was with some misgiving and trepidation that I went across the border, but my curiosity was great. Juarez, Mexico, is not an attractive or beautiful city. The people appear downcast. The Mexicans have a sullen, unfriendly look, which repels even those who entertain benevolent intentions. Many of them live a lowly, depraved life. While in the city I saw many of the buildings that had been "shut up" during the recent conflict between the Federals and the Revolutionists. The Americans had fled. The business of the town is in the hands of Jews. I visited the city prison, the the market place, the old cathedral, and the section built up entirely of adobe houses with dirt floors—all in appearance quaint, dull, close-looking and inhospitable. I was informed by my guide that I must look and pass on; that it would not do to stop and ask questions, as the Mexicans are suspicious. The reader may well imagine the speed with which I made my observations. I left Juarez and El Paso on Thursday for Austin, Texas. (To be continued) Rev. J. D. Pettigrew, the successful builder and pastor of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, who came here fifteen months ago and began his work and will on next Sunday dedicate his church, with lot and building clear of debt, to the services of God and the uplift of humanity. A GRAND DEDICATION AND The Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, of which J. D. Pettigrew is pastor, will dedicate its church building near the corner of Central avenue and East 34th street, next Sunday, May 10th, with a grand and inspiring all-day service as follows: 9:30 a. m., Sunday school. 11:00 a. m., sermon by Dr. Geo. F. Kenngott, superintendent Congregational Churches of Los Angeles. Following this sermon will be the communion of the Lord's Supper. 3:00 p. m., the dedicatorial services led by Dr. Morris Turk, pastor First Congregational Church, Los Angeles, and Rev. R. B. Lookin, superintendent Congregational Churches of Southern California. Addresses by other visiting ministers. 7:30 p. m. preaching by some visiting minister. The Lincoln Memorial choir, under the direction of Mr. A. Williams, our excellent new choir di rector, and aided by other rare musical talent in the city, will furnish sweet music at all of the services for the day. At each service an effort will be made to raise the necessary money to complete the work on the church. A great treat is in store for all. Everybody is invited. Don't miss this grand service. Come and encourage us by your presence and fellowship. VENICE, OCEAN PARK AND SANTA MONICA J. Allen Reese, Correspondent Mr. Chas. Tabor, of Morgan City, La., arrived in Venice last week to spend his vacation. The Misses Alberta and A. May Clackett of Pasadena were visitors to the beaches last week. Mr. Simon Sercey, Rev. J. H. Trimble and Mr. J. A. Reese have all moved into their new homes in Venice and are quite nicely arranged. Mr. E. J. Gentry was on May 1 designated parcel post carrier for Venice postoffice, being allowed three hours per day in which to dispose of all the parcels post matter that "comes his way." An automobile party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson of Coronado Beach, San Diego; Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Scott and Attorney C. S. Darden of Los Angeles motored to Venice last Sunday and were the guests of Mrs. Reese and her son, J. Allen Reese. Mr. D. R. Sheffield is in the St. Katherine Hospital, Santa Monico, having been operated on for appendicitis, and as a consequence his brother, Mr. Solomon Sheffield of Imperial, is on the beach. Much to the gratification of his many friends Mr. Sheffield is reported convalescing rapidly. It has just come to our ears that Santa Monica is boasting of a young high school all around athlete. A few weeks ago Mr. Manuel Murrell took honors from another high school for his own having competed in a running race and winning in good time. Mr. Murrell may be, and we hope he is, a Drew in embryo. He is yet receiving congratulations. The Venice city electric department is at work improving San Juan avenue by placing ornamental lamp posts thereon, and placing twelve cement posts to each block. This is the street upon which the property of the First Baptist Church faces and much of the property owned by race people faces this street. This timely improvement will improve property value, to say nothing of the luxurious appearance it gives the street. After spending some months in Seattle, Wash., where unfortunately he lost his dear wife, Mr. J. B. Fant has returned to beautiful Venice for an indefinite stay. He owns property in Venice and only a few months ago he purchased the largest apartment house owned by race folks in Seattle. During his absence from here he visited Alaska, Canada and throughout the extreme northwest of U. S. A. Mr. and Mrs. Strather Howard entertained a party of young folks at their home, 546 San Juan avenue, on last Friday evening. The party consisted of Misses Simpson and Smith accompanied by Messrs. Q. Tabor and E. Reese. Games; were the order of the evening, after which the party was EAGLE S. M. T. Celebrate Mortgage Burning and lay plans for Greater activity served at an elegantly arrayed table. The same evening Miss Fanny Reeese was hostess to another party at her home, 600 San Jan avenue. Those of the party were Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. E. Shandy, Messrs. Irwin Tabor and Solomon Sheffield. After a very merry evening the affair was crowned, with an exhibition of clinary production. THEY SAY THAT cial secretary, namely, Sisters M. J. Jennings, S. Mitchell, E. Brown. E. Scott, H.

Mrs. Strather Howard will soon subscribe for the best race paper in Los Angeles. Of course she has reference to the king of birds. He bought an expensive box of candy, bought tickets to the Rapids, Virginia Reel, Race Thru the Clouds, and a round trip ticket to Los Angeles, all for her but SHE. She said that I said that you said that he said that he is a chicken inspector, and has tagged her O K. fll HILL TEMPLE NO. 1. HAS A MORTGAGE BURNING MONDAY. APRIL 27. 1914 After the regular routine of business W. P. Sister Sarah Shores asked all the sisters that were with the Order on Temple street to come to the front, which they readily did. Then she called for all the members to form a circle. Such a large body of women, it was simply beautiful. Hill Temple was the first Temple in the city of Los Angeles, State of California, organized March 4th, 1888, with 14 members. Its present membership is 184. The chairman of the trustee board, Sister M. J. Jennings, reported on the Temple property from the time she was elected chairman up to the present time, which was a beautiful report. Much credit is due Sister Jennings for her faithfulness and business way in which she managed the affairs of the Temple. All the trustees were called on for remarks, those serving now and those that served in the past, and they were all timely. Sister F. J. Johnson, Worthy Treasurer, made a few brief remarks, expressing her love and esteem for the Order through difficulties and rain as will as through sunshine that she intended to hold up the motto of S. M. T. Hymn. "Will There be Any Stars," was sung. The next speaker was W. D. Sister Shores. Her cup was about to run over. She was not lost for words; she spoke out of the depths of her heart of her love for the Order, how she had struggled amid difficulties and trials, had suffered many things the Temple did not know of all for the love she had for the Order, but was thankful to say by God's help had come out victorious. She did not forget to speak of the nobility of the good women of Hill Temple in holding up her arms. The next was the presentation of pins to the trustees and finan- Number 12 cial secretary, namely, Sisters M. J. Jennings, S. Mitchell, E. Brown, E. Scott, H. Owens, M. L. Gottschalk. The following sisters presented the above named officers with the pins: Sisters M. J. Davis, F. J. Johnson, S. A. Wright, M. Baylor, C. Jones, J. Johnson, which they received with cheerful faces and pleasant smiles. The State Grand Princess Sister R. E. Daniels was called on for remarks, which she made in her usual pleasing manner, telling many good things of the S. M. T. on the coast. Next was the mortgage burning. W. P. Sister Shores did the deed. She set fire to the papers, declaring Hill Temple property free from debt, owned and controlled by Hill Temple No. 1, city of Los Angeles, State of California. Or sisters are learning to give the flowers in life, where we can see and enjoy them. Our gallant leader and W. P. station was filled with the most beautiful flowers the sisters had placed there, showing their love and esteem for her. Refreshments were served in abundance. Thus closed one of the best meetings in the history of the Order. Everybody felt good and expressed themselves glad to be in such a glorious meeting. Receipts $142.06. Sister Sarah Shores, W. P. Sister Janie E. Williams, R. S. P. S.—Under the leadership of Sister Shores the property was purchased four years ago, price $3,500.00. WESLEY CHAPEL NOTES WESLEY CHAPEL NOTES The rally campaign is on in earnest at Wesley. Every member of the church is in line and praying and praying for success. Bishop T. B. Scott, who represents more people than any colored bishop in the world, 4,000,000 Methodists in this country besides thousands in Africa, has consented to be present at the rally in June to give his great lecture on "Africa Divided Among the Nations," and also to preach. Wesley Chapel is becoming the center for the young serious element of our people. They crowd every service. Last Sunday was a great day in spite of the clouds. The messages delivered by the pastor were well received. This coming Sunday will mark one of the greatest days in the history of the church. At 11 a. m. a special program on mother will be rendered as well as time given for tributes to mother. At 2:30 p. m. the great Odd Fellow annual sermon will be preached by Dr. Greggs. No one need stay away from the church. This church will take care of the Order and all others who may come. At the evening service Sister Lewis will preach her farewell sermon to California. KEEP OFF THIS DATE Monday night, May 18th, at Wesley Chapel M. F. Church, a great lecture and musical will be furnished in behalf of the church debt for the small sum of 10 and 15 cents. Everybody is urged to attend. Watch for next notice. San-Francisco Doings The initial movement for the formation of an organization of Veterans, Sons of Veterans and loyal patriotic citizens into a battalion of Home Guards is well taken, and it is our earnest hope that the proper interest will be manifested. Capt. Crumbly, who is at the head of the organization, is not only a fearless leader, but a scholarly gentleman, whose army training fits him to fill any position of honor with credit. If it is a real newspaper that you want, subscribe for and read The Eagle. The Republican league has removed its headquarters from 814 Central avenue to 1034 East 91st street, where Mr. C. Olivier is in charge. This organization is taking an active part in the cause of republicanism with the following officers in harness: Capt. G. W. Hawkins, president; R. H. Wade, first vice president; John S. Montgomery, secretary; Cal Johnson, treasurer. THE GOLDEN WEST. With its evlasting reputation of "biggest and best hotel" for men and women of color, the Golden West also enjoys the distinction of setting the standard of entertaining newspaper and other public spirited people in a manner long remembered and cherished by them. Messrs Brown and Williamshe congenial proprietors are careful in not only giving good service but in making the general SLEEPING CAR PORTERS' atmosphere congenial and homes CLUB On the San Francisco page of this paper we desire to call attention to the ad of the Sleeping Car Porters' Club, located near Southern Pacific depot on Townsend street. This is one of the classiest establishments of its kind in this country, and is under the management of Mr. Henry Hastings and Richard Robinson. Mr. Hastings is an old railroad man and is very popular among the citizens of all classes and especially the railroad boys. He has been in business in Oakland and on this side for a number of years and by his affable and friendly dispositions has many friends who are glad to give him their patronage. Mr. Richard Robinson is the dean of colored entertainers in San Francisco and has a host of friends. His entertaining is of a high class and will add dignity to any place at which he appears. He is a favorite here and all wish the management well. The aim of this new club is to conduct a clean and up to date social club and no better duet could be found for class than Hastings and Robinson. "A clean-cut man." Such was your editor's opinion of the genial Recorder of Tulare county, whom we met on our recent visit to Visalia. Without any hesitation or excuses Mr. Chrisman showed himself to be the man whom we vouch for, as friendly and appreciative of his colored constituents. We are always ready to sing the praises of such, when we meet them. Mr. Chrisman will receive f 10 our people a hearty and strong support for renomination and election to succeed himself a $ ^{\infty} $ Coy-u Recorder of Tulare county.

Perhaps the Mexican war will develop to the extnt that Wilson and his Democratic following will at least have a short recess from the segregation problem which they have so ardently hammered on since entering the governmental domain. Mr. Jas. Ernest Trokey of Coalinga was a welcomed visitor in our city last Friday evening en route to San Francisco, where he will spend Easter. Mr. Love of Visalia was in Fresno Sunday and was the guest of the local Odd Fellows. Rev. Dr. Riddle of San Francisco was in our city last Saturday evening and was the guest of Mr. Ed Lewis. The Rev. left on a late train for the city. The Southern California Theatrical Troupe are receiving on every hand much comment for their excellent showing of last Wednesday evening at Elks' Hall. All members of the troupe deserve credit and praise for the success of the performance, and especially the managers. Messrs. Payne and Jessie Irwin. Much interest is being manifested in the coming musical festival at Gamut Auditorium next Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Harriet Tubman Club, of which Mr. John Hall is manager. The entertainment is for the benefit of Wesley chapel, M. E. Church, and the best talent of the city has been secured for the program. Mrs. M. Hamilton, who is stopping with Mrs. Caulsberry of E. 12th street, is on the sick list. [Name] "A1" GROCERY CO. No. 1540 Fillmore St. H. G.

Comptroller Prendergast nominated Theodore Roosevelt in the Republican national convention in 1912. Subsequently he went with Roosevelt into the national Progressive party and was recognized as one of the principal individual factors in that party. He was quickly disillusioned. He came to realize that the Progressive party, builted on personal ambition and animated by a spirit of destruction, could not and should not endure. Now he comes to California under the auspices of the national and State Republican committees to tell why he returned to the Republican party and why the Progressive party has no rightful place in American government. Mr. Prendergast will speak at Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Francisco on Tuesday, May 5, and in Los Angeles probably on Thursday, May 7. Mr. Prendergast's visit to California is considered of the highest significance by both Republicans and Progressives, and his meetings will be attended by scores of prominent Republican men and women from all the principal interior points.

The people would not enthuse over the recall of R. H. Norton. As a result he overcame his opponents more than two to one and the recall failed. As we go to press the power bond election is on in full blast and it seems as though the people are opposed to any further burdens by way of taxation. Now if our erstwhile leader would take up their own business with the same spirit and zeal that they attend to the business or others it would be only short work to bring about conditions in this city whereby every citizen would enjoy their civil rights. If you do not know you should know that right here in Los Angeles in public places conducted by a license granted by the police commission of this city a part of the citizenship herein are denied their civil rights. Stand up leaders! What are you going to do? Sit supinely down and stand for it without protest? Let's hear from you. The Eagle has no fight to make on any individual, if a news matter of interest to any of our organization should perchance touch someone up it is no fault of ours. We strive to publish a real newspaper. We use all of our communication on the common enemies of racial progress and have none to spare in calling some Negro hard names or in advertising someone who seeks newspaper notoriety. It is our desire to see everyone do the very best that they can, the charlatan, the fake, the unworthy and unscrupulous will in due time fall of their own weight. In the language of the philosopher, give the calf enough rope and it will break its own neck. E. EIGHTH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Eighth and Linden Street Revival now in progress.

UTILATE BY EVA CARTER BUCKNER. Under the old yet new regime, Our ship of state has launched once more: From stem to stern, from pilot to mate, New hand will man our nation great— The world looks on. Some look with envy, some with pride, Some apprehensive of their fate— But, if Old Glory still be true And men do what they swear to do— Our country's safe. We cannot always understand His plan and wisdom, 'tis too great— "In God we trust," leave all with Him. He's ruler of each subject's fate— "God is not mocked." For in due time strong men willl rule Who will protect the weakest one— And men will feel that they are men. And proudly say, "Our Country!" then God bless our land! We've read the writing on the wall Of many nations, seen them fall. But O, long live our Nation great. May other countries emulate "Justice to All." The Eagle has been Easy There is no big duffer in charge of the scissors of this journal, as Rev. McPherson asserts. Calling someone names is not the part of a gentleman. I am the one who, as owner and managing editor of the California Eagle, allowed the article to which the Rev. takes umbrage to appear, and desire to offer no apology for it. It came to us as a news matter and we published it. Further than this he is the last one to accuse the Eagle of "roasting." We would not become a sewer for you Dr. when you sought to get your carrion through the columns of the NEGRO PRESS. We in our office statements, sent here from citizens of your own town, reflecting on your standing for honesty and integrity. Also from other sources of the country, and not a line have we used or do we expet to have a necessity to use. Back of all this we have our own experience with you, the knowledge of other and divers of things that we could print as news matter, out that is not our style of journalism and we are not going to go into war with any individual. So you may continue to call names and nant. We have said all that we care to in the premises. The Eagle refrained from taking sides in the recall election resting our case with the advice we gave in these columns when the petitions for the recall were being circulated; when we advised our people that the recall should not be and would fail.

MEMEBRS OF MY RACE, ATTENTION Now is the time to buy real estate. Better buy through one who knows values, locations, and who will not misrepresent. It is better to buy in the lines of present development—where water and civilization is—than in an undeveloped country, regardless of what may be promised. It is unwise to buy land without water in California. I have five acres of good level land at Sunland, near Burbank, with water, for $200 per acre. I have many good buys in houses and lots near in—small cash payments. MILTON W. LEWIS Agent Birch Court 949 Birch St. See H. H. Williams about Wilmington Harbor property.

KNIGHTS AMD DAUGHTERS OF AFRICA Make a Grand Showing. On the occasion of their first an- nual sermon the Knights and Danghters of Africa made a show- ing such as to make all of the members proud of this young but growing organization. Last Suu- day was the occasion of this first annual sermon under the auspices of Lodge No. 125. The deportment and nicety in the way in which these ceremonies were conducted would do credit to any organization extant. Marshall 8. P. Donee seemed to be the right man in the right place and han- dled his line of march like a vet: eran. The most excellent queen, Mrs. E. R. Boldwin, with a queenly grace in her royal robe presided, and her address on the state of the order was timely and in the best of taste. All of the officers and mem- bers aequitted themeclves in highly creditable manner. This order is destined to bea great one on the Pacific Slope. It is composed of our best citizenship whose ajms are not selfish, but purely for the uplift of the race and to belp one another, and un. der the guidanee of its faithful anc energetic leadership will rapidly grow to the honor and glory of ¢ struggling race.

THE SLAVE OF THE PULLMAN CAR The State Railroad Commission Is To Endeaver to Get That Functionary Paid a Living Wage—by His Employer. Our State Railroad Commission has written an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" of the Pullman car porter. When the negro was emancipated fifty years ago it was believed that the job was effectively done, that he would be free. Most of his race have won their independence—others have become attached to Pullman cars. Now the railroad commission is going to help the men attached to these cars. It may be inferred from the proceedings before the railroad commission that the Pullman porter is paid $27.50 a month by the company that operates these rolling palaces to which the colored citizen is chained. Now if slavery still existed it would be a cheap plantation that would not The public pays the balance. It is all nicely arranged. There is no compulsion on the part of the passenger to assist the Pullman company in paying the salary of the porter. All that is given by the passenger comes—no, goes—under the head of gratuity. But the passenger, the hapless victim of social heredity, of his traveling environment, pays. George M. Pullman was a remarkable man. He invented the Pullman car. Furthermore, he abrogated Lincoln's emancipation proclamation by enslaving porters to his cars. The State Railroad Commission has made a strong bid for popular applause with its arraignment of the Pullman company. And the Pullman company certainly does need a trimming. As the commission says, no human authority can stop tipping, and, to tell the truth, it is a private matter which is none of the States business. But the Pullman WATCH THIS SPACE 101 pelled to pay its conductors and porters decent wages—in which case it will be in a position to compel these employees to give decent service to all—regardless of tips. It is a little curious, however, that the commission should threaten the company with an investigation of its revenue as related to operating expenses, in case it does not make its service better. We have been under the impression that it was the statutory duty of the commission to do that very thing, regardless of any consideration. Upon what other basis can it be ascertained whether the charges for berths are reasonable or not? The State Railroad Commission has great powers, which it has, in the main, exercised for good. But powers should not be instruments of whi mor caprice or personal choice. They are meant to be exercised with machine-like regularity, regardless of persons or politics. The moment the State Railroad Commission begins to determine, not what the law is, but whether or not it will enforce it, that moment it will begin to be a dangerous body, no matter how honest its purpose. For the application of law and justice must never be left to whim or choice, but must be invariable, fixed and certain. Otherwise the judges become superior to the laws, and when any men in au- freedom and the security of the citizen are both in peril. EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS NEEDED TO SATISFY DEBT AND BUY SUPPLIES To clear the property of an $800 mortgage and purchase needed equipment and supplies, officers of the Woman's Day Nursery, the only nursery conducted by colored women in the West, are planning an active campaign. Little colored children, whose mothers are forced to work during the day, are cared for at the nursery for 10 cents a day, or, if the mothers are unable to pay, no charge is made. When a mother cannot obtain work in the city, she may leave her little children at the nursery for an entire month for $8. "There is no restriction as to race of the children cared for, and not a day since the work was started have we had less than five children in the nursery," said Mrs. J. A. Somerville, president of,the organization. "We help mothers to help themselves by providing a home for their children while they are away at work. The small charge is made in order that the work will not be absolute charity the mothers. "The pressing need now is to pay off the $800 mortgage, which we were forced to borrow to get the property in condition. Other than the mortgage, the property is free from debt." "MAMMY" SENDS HAM TO QUEEN OF ENGLAND Raleigh, N.

He says he will not stop until he gets there and is in full possession of the Huerta capital." This word, coming today from Robert A. Turnbull, a camera man with General Carranza's army, together with pictures showing the rebel chief's determined countenance, bear out statements made recently by Los Angeles constitutionalist representatives that the "on to Mexico City" movement is stronger with the rebel heads than any thought of resentment toward this country. "General Villa," writes Turnbull, "is too near the City of Mexico now to quit. I hadn't the pleasure of meeting Villa until I went to Chihuahua and Torreon, but he is a different man than what some papers have pictured him. He is a gentleman and a soldier and seems to know what he is about. From the way he talks and from the determination displayed by his troops one would have no doubt that he will be in possession of Mexico City and the entire country before very long." The pictures of Villa shown were taken at Torreon by Turnbull, who returned there after a brief visit to his relatives in this country. Previous to that time he had served for two months as a camera man for the constitutionalists. He says he intends remaining with that army until Mexico City is taken and hopes to be able to produce moving picture films of the final battle. Several telegrams received here recently by Adolfo Carrillo, consul in Los Angeles for the constitutionalists, and sent by Fubela, secretary of foreign affairs at Chihuahua, state that "the object of the constitutionalist army is to take Mexico City with as little delay as possible." Telegrams urging Mexicans along the border and in the United States to remain peaceful and friendly with the Americans also have re- ```markdown ``` GEN.

The McKinley Park Chautauqua at Sacramento under the auspices of the Sacramento Valley Baptist Young People is an assured fact. The grounds have been secured and the city park commissioners are leaving no stone unturned to get the grounds in shape and to make the park as attractive as possible. Have you ever visited McKinley Park? It is one of the most beautiful places in all California. It lays just south of Sacramento and contains about forty or fifty acres. The large oak trees have made almost a continuous canopy overhead, thereby shutting out the sun at all hours of the day. Its pleasure features are almost unexcelled. There are great spaces for baseball, lawn tennis, croquet and a swimming pool, also a small zoo. The park affords all the sport and pleasure that one might look for. Main Features of the Chautauqua. The main features of the Chautauqua will be a great gathering of prominent orators, the learned men of both races. For when we tell you that the coming of ex-attorney-General W. H. Lewis of Boston and Miss N. H. Burroughs is assured, together with the probable appearance of Bishop Parks of the A. M. E. Church; W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the treasury; Drs. McCoy and Gordon of Los Angeles, and other prominent men of the South, you will agree with me that there will be a great concourse of racial intellect that this race can be proud of, men able from every standpoint, orators of no mean ability, the most of them having national reputation. Together with the best who are members of our race there will also be present the governor of the state, the attorney-general of the state, the United States senator from our state and congressmen from our state, together with such men of our general association as Drs. J. M. Riddle, G. C. Coleman and J. T. Jones, Professor L. J. Williams and others of our local district of the Young People's Union and Sunday School. Now when I say that McKinley Park during the 23d of June and the 1st of July will be the Mecca for intelligence I feel assured that you, after reading the above names of the persons spoken of and being acquainted with them from a religious and political standpoint you will say with me that it is well worth paying a visit to the Chautauqua. The Purpose of the Chautaqua. The purpose of the Young People's Chautaqua is to bring about a large united social gathering of our young people. Each summer we find that the Sunday schools and young people's societies give picnics where one or two of the local Sunday schools and young people's societies gather together for their social pleasure. The pleasure resorted to is not always of the most desirable kind, therefore the president of our Sacramento Valley B. Y. P. U. Convention conceived the idea of holding a general outing for the young people of Sacramento Valley. To carry out the idea a committee was appointed composed of the following: Rev. G. W. Reed of Stockton, chairman; Mrs. M. F. Gaither of Woodland, Rev. W. M. Dixon of Sacramento, Rev. J. L. Allen of Marysville, Mrs. L. S. Diggs of Woodland, Mr. L. Williams of Marysville and Prof. C. H. Toney of Vallejo, he being one of the pastors of the Sacramento Valley district. The committee, after getting together, decided that it would be a good thing to make the outing a general one, not simply to confine its pleasures to the young people of the Sacramento valley district, but to invite all the young people as well as the nia to participate at this great soilder people of Northern. Californal meeting. That something worth while might be the result of this great meeting the committee outlined the following as the plans for the Chautauqua for the social, industrial and religious benefit of the young people of our community and the outlying districts. To carry out this plan is the reason why we have gone to the expense and have invited the persons cited above. The several district conventions which compose the General Baptist Association have been invited to hold their respective conventions at McKinley Park during the Chautauqua, and there will be a day or days given to each of the district conventions for the purpose of holding their convention. Another great feature of the Chautauqua will be a mammoth choir consisting of 150 voices, under the directorship of several of the best singers obtainable in Northern California. Time, Place and Rates. Time, Place and Routes The time of the beginning of the Chautauqua will be the 23d of June, and will hold eight days, closing on the first day of July. The place will be McKinley Park, southern section of Sacramento, the same being reached by two car lines running at intervals of five minutes from the uptown section of the city. Rates have been secured from all roads entering into Sacramento$^0$ of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Accommodations. Sleeping accommodations will be right on the grounds. There will be tents provided with two cots. The prices for lodging will not be over 25 cents, and probably less, especially for parties who desire to stay longer than one night. The rates will be fixed according to the time the parties are to hold the tent. Refreshments of all kinds will be on the grounds. A great mammoth platform is built for the purpose of the meeting. This platform is surrounded by beautiful trees, completely covering the platform, thereby shutting out the sun, causing the place to be cool throughout the day. Motion pictures by our Bro. Rev. Dixon will be one of the main features each evening of the Chautauqua. For further information concerning the Chautauqua you may address Rev. G. W. Reed, chairman, box 692, Stockton, Cal., or Mrs. L.

THE GOLDEN WEST HOTEL While the public in general are very partial toward this popular hostelry, it is no wonder that they are when it is taken into consideration the great convenience and high credit that the same has brought to our city. High class in every respect, catering only to the best, they have set a high mark for negro enterprise employing more than a score of members of the race and each one striving to make the service of this famous cafe and hotel the very best.
