A New Sort of Way in Vogue at Imperial to Win Elections by Drys PHONE MAIN 1594 THE CLANSMAN OUTDONE BY THE DRY FORCES AT IMPERIAL If the dry forces of this state appreciate a colored vote and Imperial City is a criterion it is enough to make any man who stands for fair play to flee from their standard. We have heard of shotgun intimidation and all other sorts, but they had a new kind of intimidation for the colored voters and that was a grand jury intimidation, a warrant out for their arrest and the enforcement of educational qualification on Negroes alone. As a result of threats that they would be arrested and summoned before the grand jury kept many away; not that they were afraid, but they did not have the time to be bothered and many of the Colored women would not suffer the embarrassment of unnecessary quizzing by a tow headed school teacher who was the challenger selected by the dry forces. This tow headed school teacher, if a man was colored, challenged him on sight. Many of them of course could give him cards and spades as far as scholarship is concerned. The editor personally witnessed the above scenes, the dry forces was fearful of the attitude of the colored vote, so they put on a campaign of intimidation it was so disgraceful and so unfair that it cost them the election, as more than a dozen told us that on account of the tactics played against our people they would vote wet and the wets won by fourteen votes only. Therefore the colored vote absolutely saved the day for the Progressive League in Imperial. Messrs Donnavin and May, president and secretary, respectively, made a dignified campaign and were entitled to win. Especially against the methods used by these people. Ben Tilman in his palmiest days could not outdo the drys in their last noticeable effort of intimidation. At the schools the daughter of J. W. Gordon and other colored children, overheard their teachers talking to the white pupils admonishing them to have their parents vote dry, for if they won the election, these children would not have to attend school any more with the Negro children. Now this was raw! But it is not all. And with such sentiment so openly displayed, there was no other alternation for the colored voter. And if this is the new idea, one of intimidation by law, and the wholesale issuance of warrants, the dry's will not make much head way with Colored voters in the campaign which is upon them. THE SOARING EAGLE MAJESTICALLY SOARS THROUGH GREAT IMPERIAL VALLEY. Leaving Los Angeles Monday, the 3rd instance, the editor accompanied by our very energetic northern representative, H. Shannon, we boarded the Santa Fe train for San Diego, where we visited with our clientage at that point until Thursday, renewing old subscribers and securing many new ones. We found our faithful and hustling Manager at this point, M. T. Laws, on the job. He never loses an opportunity to speak up for the Eagle and dishes up the news for our big army of readers at this point to the satisfaction of all. He took ye scribe and Mr. Shannon over the exposition and introduced us at the main office where we met as courteous and respectful attention as could be desired. The exposition last year seemed to be the acme of perfection, but not withstanding that fact the vast improvement is noticeable at the first glance, and those who visited it last year should go again to appreciate the same in its fullness, and those who failed to go should by all means go and visit the same this year. Colored Citizens on Upward Trend The colored people of San Di- The California ego have in their midst some of the real men and women who are doing the real things for progress and it is this class that keeps the flag of real progress aloft and lends a strong hope for this people to do their part in the future progress of this splendid and wide-awake city. M. T. Laws is negotiating the opening of a high class cafe on the exposition grounds which will be a high credit to all. Mr. G. A. Ramsey, former manager for the Eagle at this point, has opened a strictly first class hotel known as the YESMAR HOTEL, the Eagle staff visited the same and after a thorough inspection we pronounce it one of the very best appointed hostelries conducted by our people on the Pacific Coast. Newly furnished throughout, newly painted everything neat as a pin, hot and cold water in each room, press the button in your room, a bell hop appears, in fact convenience a first class hotel should have. It speaks volumes for Mr. Ramsey's sagacity and the Eagle congratulates him on his enterprise. He assures us that it is his paramount aim to keep it up to the highest possible standard. Mr. E. W. Anderson is still the garbage contractor and employs a large force of men. Our old friend, T. H. Williams, is ever on the alert to do something for the betterment of conditions for the race. Mr. Tunis Gordon, manager of the Hotel Richmond, is pleasing the guest at this old reliable and pioneer place. He seeks to please paumuniuuu suq oq spsonu suq some of the most prominent people of the country and they all have a good word for the Richmond. The Richmond is a strong booster for the Eagle. They even send their printing to our Los Angeles office, all of which is highly appreciated. And many of our other citizens of which at this time space will not permit mention, are doing the things that spells progress and San Diego's colored citizens are doing their part for the upward trend. The Mighty Imperial Valley Thursday morning the Eagle's flying squadron took a stage for El Centro and Imperial, located in the heart of that great valley, which is an emping as it were, in itself. The richness of its soil has been likened unto that of the Valley of the Nile. We got along very nicely until we struck the mountain range and for more than 60 miles we threaded our way over a serpent like road, just wide enough for one vehicle and one false turn meant that we would go over into an abyss hundreds of feet to the bottom, we thought of "life insurance," our real standing with our maker, and everything else on this hazardous and tortuous ride with our machine going it at a rate of 25 miles an hour. Mr. Shannon abruptly exclaimed to our driver that we were in no hurry to get to El Centro. Leaving San Diego at 8 a.m. we, however, landed at El Centro at 4:30 p.m. without any mishap. Here we took another stage and with a short drive of about three miles we arrived at Imperial. We found this city in the throes of a bitter fight over the question as to whether it should go wet or dry. The sentiment seemed very evenly divided and it was up to the colored vote as to the fate of the election. In another article will be seen the part they played on this particular issue. We were soon domiciled at the hotel conducted by A. Lincoln, a progressive member of our race, who formerly lived at Bakersfield and who is a successful business man. On the following evening we met the Foraker Club. On invitation we addressed the body at length, from the enthusiasm which reigned they appreciated the same. On Sunday in the absence of their pastor we preached a lay sermon, and on the evening we lectured at the same church to a crowded house. All of these events seemed to have a strong effect and from what we were told, was appreciated to utmost. On Monday evening we lectured to a full house at the Methodist church in El Centro and as at Imperial they seemed grateful that we did so. Status of Our People at These Points At Imperial there are some splendid citizens who are a high credit. Unfortunately there is a floating population here that seems to be the weights on real progress. There seems to be work for all who want a job, and there are those who are more ambitious and who are striving for openings in the various lines of business. Many own homes and others are buying them. However, the big majority live on ranches or are working thereon. They have one church at Imperial, a K. of P. Lodge, one barber shop and one hotel. A. J. Tullis is one of the leading citizens and one of the leading forces for good in the community. He is well informed on the questions of the day and a leader in church work. Also is Mr. G. A. Crawford one of the leading citizens. Mr. J. W. Gordon conducts a barber shop and stands high as a citizen. He is an interpreter in the local courts, has a splendid family. Others who are making good and who joined the Eagle family are Lee Culberson. Clarence A. Hodge (Prof. Boscoe), J. C. Culberson, W. F. Henderson and others. The citizens all were the souls of hospitality and made our visit a pleasant one. At El Centro Our visit to El Centro was not so extended or did we find time to make a resume of conditions such as would do justice to the people who reside here or to ourselves. There are two churches here, the Baptist and Methodist. The first one is at present without a pastor while the second is in charge of Rev. A. C. Caldwell, who is seemingly making good. We are indebted to him for an opportunity of addressing the citizens thereof and for his efforts to make our short visit a pleasant one. It was at this church with only 24 hours' notice we addressed a full house, and they seemed to highly appreciate our coming. We met here our former real estate agent, Mr. McClellan, for some reason only one of the public school teachers attended our lecture; we suppose they were detained. Miss Whiting, however, was present and expressed to us as being well pleased by coming out. In the afternoon we visited the public school and were courteously received by both Prof. Sims and Miss Kinnard, both of whom live in the city. They seem to be progressing nicely with their work. Several of our people are in business here, the most pretensions of which is the general store and meat market conducted by Mr. L. J. Ferguson and wife. They seem to be making real progress. Mrs. Whitley, formerly of this city, is in the restaurant business and there are others whom we did not have opportunity to meet. In talking to some of the leading citizens who seem to stand for something they told us that at El Centro the people had been hampered by the actions of renegade preachers who had come there and led such lives and so conducted themselves that the race has been held down. It seems that the proverbial mess of pottage was their goal and they sold their race for a mess of pottage as it were. We shall in the near future visit El Centro again and we will give some mighty interesting reading when we do. WHEREAS it has been our privilege, as Baptist Ministers of Southern California during the past three years, to have been associated with our esteemed brother, Rev. Alfred C. Williams, A.B., B.D., of the Providence Institutional Baptist Church, Los Angeles, California, whom we have learned to love as a friend and helper and counseler, and whose noble nature, frankness, tenderness and sympathy, have made him the Anostyle of suffering and distressed humanity. His tireless efforts to establish th Providence Institutional Baptist Church, to lift the fallen and cheer the discouraged, have made such a profound impression on our city, and indeed upon the people of Southern California; WHEREAS Dr. Alfred C. Williams has proven himself a painstaking, efficient worker for the general good of all the people, we, as Baptist Ministers, representing the Regular Missionary Baptist Churches of Southern California, have been blessed of God in having been privileged to come under the influence of one so full of truth, with a mind so rich and comprehensive, a nature so cultured, a faith so full, and above all a life so consecrated. THEREFORE be it resolved that upon the Eve of his departure for his new field of labor, we thank God that his influence as founder of the Great Peoples Mid-Summer Chautauqua will abide with us, and that his work will remain a monument of God's glory, and a legacy to ourselves, and the churches of the Pacific Coast. May heavens' riches and blessings rest upon himself and family and those among whom he shall labor. We therefore commend him to the world. Done by order of the Baptist Ministers' Union of Southern California. RETURNED Mr. J. O. Banks of 1235 New Hampshire street, who has been down in the state of Sonora in Old Mexico the past ten months with mine owners and who was captured once last year and has been threatened with death more than once by Mexican insurgents returned home last Sunday after a flying trip out of that war ridden country during which time he had many hardships and narrow escapes for his life. He reports that all the warring factions are putting all Americans to death, and Captain F. H. Crumbly, formerly an officer of command in the 49th U. S. V. Infantry, has received a communication from the War Department to report for further services in case more soldiers are needed. This notice is being sent out to all the experienced officers who made the necessary proficiency during term of service, and in this city we have two other first class officers who served in foreign lands to whom notices have been sent. These are Captain Wm. Reynolds of Pasadena, and First Lieutenant H. F. Wheaton of this city. This is possibly the strongest evidence possible that gives the black eye to the doubts of some that Colored men will not obey officers of their own Race as well as they do the white men appointed over them. It is also a stimulus to the demand that is being made by the Society for the Advancement of Colored People in their demand for additional Negro regiments officered by Colored men. The general order of the War Department will eliminate some of the officers on account of age. If you believe in Race enterprise and undertakings you will show your faith and loyalty by attending the third annual benefit recital given by William T. Wilkins Piano School, Tuesday evening, May 23, at 8th and Towne Ave. Church. The director, William T. Wilkins, who was a few years ago, a poor landscape gardener, has risen to our most prosperous music teacher and is now giving more private piano lessons than any single teacher, Colored or White, in this city. His work and the work of his pupils is endorsed by the Ministers' Alliance. All of the leading ladies clubs and many of the best musicians and prominent business men of this city, both White and Colored. His name stands for the highest in music and is a guarantee that you will not regret the 15 or 25 cents you pay for ad- THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE TOWN Mrs. J. W. Gordon, Formerly Mrs. Julia Chamberlain Eagle Chamberlain-Gordon Beautiful Affair Mrs. J. W. Gordon, Formerly A few weeks ago there was started in Los Angeles one of the most beautiful romances that ever ended in a real matrimonial compact out of which an atmosphere of real home life will breathe its influence upon this community for the best good of this citizenship. (In order to fit and properly connect the happenings of this affair in proper order it is our plan to give in brief the careers of the singles that now compose our double.) Mr. J. W. Gordon, the Groom Mr. Gordon was born at Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, where he spent his early life, and received his education. More than thirty-four years ago he came to this country, became naturalized, and started a successful business career. In the states of Kansas and Minnesota he owned and operated large business concerns with great success, establishing everywhere for himself an enviable reputation as a man of sterling character. More than twelve years ago Mr. Gordon severed his business connection with the Middle West and came to California. In Los Angeles he started the Canadian Cafe, which developed into a 64-room modern hotel the first of its kind established on the Pacific Coast by a Colored man. The Canadian furniture store which he later sold to Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shackelford, the present proprietors, and which is the most neatly and completely fitted up new and second hand furniture store owned by Colored people in in the city of Los Angeles. A few years ago he bought property on Birch street for $2800.00, which afterwards sold to Mrs. Williams, the present owner for $3700.00, and is now a property owned in the fertile district of Watts. Mr. Gordon is joint owner and manager with Mr. Frank Williams of the Angelus Theatre on Central between 9th and 12th sts. At San Diego Mr. Gordon has owned and operated a number of businesses to his and the credit of his Race. He is a highly respected citizen in that city, and is still owner of the Richmond hotel, operated by his nephew, Mr. Tunice Gordon, as well as other property in that city. Mrs. Julia Chamberlain, the Bride Mrs. Chamberlain is the widow of the late Rev. Robert V. P. Chamberlain, once pastor of the First A. M. E. church of this city. During the life of her former husband, Mrs. Chamberlain was an ardent worker by his side and ```markdown ``` contributed greatly to his success as a minister of the gospel. Their work was begun in this city in 1884, where she has lived off and on since. More than sixteen years ago Mrs. Chamberlain was left a widow, when she found that she was left alone to eke out her own existence this level-headed energetic woman saw the ripe opportunity of that age in this section, and grasped each and every one within her reach. When asked by this reporter how she accumulated her wealth Mrs. Gordon nee Mrs. Chamberlain answered. "I went into the real estate business when things were good, and tried to manipulate carefully and honestly, and today the result of the same is real estate at Pt. Richmond val- J. W. Gordon ued at $3000, property in Los Angeles at 1427 Toberman street valued at $6000, property at 1021 W. 16th street, valued at $20,000, owned by me." They Two Quite a number of years ago, shortly after Mr. Gordon started business in this city at the first grand opening of the Canadian hotel he met Mrs. Chamberlain—the meeting was only a passing one, and neither had seen or come in personal touch with the other since that time until a few weeks ago, when the acquaintance was renewed over the phone, when something in the ring of each voice said to the other, "I want to meet you," and little or no time was lost before two heads had got together, and last Sunday morning at the First Independent Church Dr. N. P. Greggs performed a ceremony that made two hearts beat as one.

Mrs. Brown was ten years a member and ardent worker at Quinn's Chapel, Chicago, before coming to California and 13 years at San Francisco in a similar capacity. CLAYTON-BUTTLER WEDDING ANNOUNCED The Eagle's eye is first to discover and publish the announcement of the marriage of Miss Ella Odell Clayton and Walter Buttler for April 19. This promises to be one of the prettiest of the season. James Warner died Tuesday after two years' illness. The body was cremated. Miss Addie Clayton has been summoned to the bedside of her sister at Victorville. Rev. T. M. Davis of Oakland has been called to a charge at Fresno. Rev. Davis is a splendid young man with a brilliant future and his many friends wish him a great success in his new field of endeavor. The McCloud River Lumber Co has sent to Louisiana for J. D.

Moody's Cafe and famous Dairy Lunch has reopened for business Mr. and Mrs. Charles Buttler entertained at Whist Wednesday evening A group of friends gathered at the home of Mrs. A. H. Wall and succeeded in thoroughly suprising Mrs. C. Murray, her daughter, who will soon leave for the south and east. Mrs. S Pierce acted as hostess My sister goes with a young man who seems very nice but the only objection I have to him is that he is always dressed to the inch of his life. His shoes are always shined so that you can see yourself in them and his suits always look as if they just came from the tailor. My sister makes fun of the young man I go with because he does not go dressed up all the time and looks a bit country like when he is dressed. What is your opinion of an one who never looks as if they would or could work. A. I admire one who is always clean and neat as possible. But when it comes to a girl selecting a husband, I would advise her to beware of the man whose clothes are always too fine to be soiled. As for your friend who looks country like, remember that every one can not look dressed up. Q 2. I have a brother who is always furting with some girl. I sometimes speak to him about it. But he says that there is no harm in flirting. What is your join- ion? A. to Sister. I thing flirting most harmful. My opinion of people who flirt is that they are just a little weak morally. Q. 3. Some one is always remarking that I am so thin. Can you give me some advise as to how to gain flesh? I am 5 itt. 5 in. and weigh 120 lbs. A. 3. I would not pay any attention to what people say. Just think of how many women are striving to reduce, and notice all the slender forms in the down town show windows. You should be thankful that you are tall and slinder. I hear many slight remarks made of the many young men that run on the road. Can you tell me why many people have no good opinion of them? A Lonesome railroad Porter. I think many of the young men who run on the road brought much of the talk upon themselves. They seem to be a jolly bunch, the most of them always ready and looking for a good time. But I think that there are as many gentlemen on the road as in any other work. Many of of our professional men got their start on the road. As long as you are making an honest living young man don't let gossip stop you. Chamberlain Gordon Wedding Chamberlain Gordon Wedding Continued From Page 1 Continued From Page 1 bride who wore a gown of embroidery cloth of gold with pearl trimmings and golden lace and gold, was attended by Mrs. Libby Jenings as bridesmaid and her little daughter, Bianca Chamberlain, both of whom were beautifully draped in white and like the bride carried large bouquets of rosebuds. The groom's present to the bride was two handsomely set diamonds. When the bridal march started for the couple to march away as man and wife, the happy groom, with a radiant smile on his face, turned to Pastor Greggs and said, "Reverend, we wish to connect with this church here and now." The wish was granted, while only a hush pronounced the benediction. WHO'S WHO IN THE PROGRESSIVE LITERARY CLUB So many people have expressed their wonderment as to who and what the Progressive Literary Club is, and why they have not heard of it before, that we have succeeded in securing space in The Eagle through which we might throw a little light on this most important topic of the day, for truly every one is talking about the Progressive Club. This Club was organized Nov. 30, 1915, at the home of Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Rozier. It has 25 members of the highest grade talent along debating, spelling and musical lines. It is a very exclusive organization and admits only the most efficient in their line of work. Mr. Augustus Greene is captain of the debating team and Miss Mae Rogers is captain of the spelling team. Hilbert Rozier is manager of both teams. Mr. Eugene Walker is president and Miss Vivian Temple is vice president. Miss Mayme Lowe is honorary member. OUR ATHETICS By Hilbert L. Rozier The Hoegee Giants lost a bitter struggle last Sunday afternoon, when they engaged in two hours of the national pastime with the Harlow Cafe team. It was a fast game, the final count being 3-1. Manager Eugene Roberts of the "Y" team, is proving himself to be a real booster for the Y. M. C. A. as well as the team. This noisy gent is hustling up some good material for Capt. Green's team, and has lined up a number of stars. He certainly is a good mate for our little captain. What's the matter with Pasadena's baseball team? They're all right—only, they believe in 一 If you are looking for work and mean business, you will save time and worry by calling on J. W. Coleman, the old reliable employment agency.

To Whom It May Concern: This will certify that I knew Mr. Wm. T. Wilkins as a student in the Commercial High School, several years ago. He is one of the most faithful, conscientious, honest fellows that I have met in life whose acquaintance and friendship have been a pleasure and pride to me. It is with unqualified pleasure that I learn of his success in music. As a boy he was full of rhythm and I believed that under proper conditions he would prove to be a genius in the music line. His present success has confirmed my belief. I believe in his music powers, and I commend him to all good people and solicit for him an especial interest on the part of music lovers.

Jonss, 5th Miss Theodora Lloyd, 6th Miss Marie Young, 7th Quite a time and some excitement at Tia Juana Sunday when Darkey in the fifth race at 7 to 1 romped home in the lead it seemed as if Royafi, Jack Akinson and a few of the other big bookmakers had to pawn their autos on Monday in order to have money to start business Tuesday. More than 10,000 people were cut and the colored sports came away ladened with gold and greenbacks when Darkey came down the stretch in a large field, even in Mexico no one objected to thousands of voices yelling and shouting "Come on Darky." While the wires were ticking the news throughout the U.S., hats were thrown into the air and men ran speechless to the bookies to cash their tickets. The How-do-you-do and Think you special which has been touring the state met with one of the biggest and most enthusiastic receptives that ever left our city. People in all cities and towns turned out in large crowds to meet this palatial train, we are suite sure it had its effects and will terminate at our most wonderful exposition. The Easter ball Monday night was quite a success, many swell costumes were seen. Los Angeles was well represented. The Wednesday night function, which is all the rage, seems to have a grip on Miss Dimples, who is cutting an awful dash of late. Chas, Dodge was seen a few days ago with a wedding ring on his finger and something else in his pocket. W. S. Cleveland is quite busy remodeling his house which he recently purchased, he is employed at the U.S. National Bank. Mrs. G. W. Gray has been confined to her bed for several days with an attack of nervous prostration, her many friends are eagerly awaiting her early recovery. It seems that some of the swell society are straining a knat and so allowing a camel. Mrs. A. W. Sheppard, 727 South 30th street, is conducting a first class cafe in the Wayfarer club. Mrs. Ring and son and Mrs. Hope motoaed down from Los Angeles Sunday and spent the day with Mrs. Eva Smith, 742 3rd street. W. F. Jorden and W. M. Gilbert of Topeka, Kansas, spent several days in the city. Attorney Hugh Macbeth of Los Angeles was in the city and spent several days. Who is the laughing mask? Well you will be the laughing mask if you miss the Savoy theatre "Let's get stewed" and "It's a man" was alone worth the price. That is nothing, every week it is the same the best show that is going. What is next at the Alhambra, "The Graft" and "Uncle Sam at Work. Don't miss them, you should go and take the little ones. George W. Murray and Miss Katherine Badgett were married Sunday rnd will make their home in San Diego. Their many friends were glad to hear of the happy union, and all join the congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Hamilton of 3566 Menlo ave. have bought a nice little 5 room bungalow. We are certainly proud to see young people make such brilliant moves and aims for the highest mark in life. Mrs. Martha A. Smith is still very sick at the home of her daughter, Mrs. F. Freeman, cor. 30th and Martin ave. Mrs. Martha Woodby is also very ill at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Conoway. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Norwood were married 15 years, April 26, 1916. Mrs. Norwood says she will celebrate the anniversary by going to prayer meeting, which will be led by Mrs. L. E. Goodwin. Rev. C. C. Williams preached a good sermon Sunday evening to a good congregation. All of Rev. Williams' sermons are immensely enjoyed by all who attend and the public has a cordial and standing invitation to come out at any time. The members of the Carnation Club gave a Parcel Post entertainment Tuesday evening whichproved to be out of the ordinary. Every one present enjoyed the evening and a neat little sum of $5.35 was raised above expenses. We kindly thank those who came out and made the affair a success. The Hornsby Bro, entertainers were there and gave us plenty of good music, which was appreciated by all. The young people of the Mt. Zion Baptist church rendered their Easter program at the B. Y. P. U. meeting. There was not a failure on the program and the president gave each child an Easter egg. Mrs. L. E. Goodwin and Mrs. C. E. Norwood spent a most enjoyable Sunday afternoon with Mrs. P. E. and Mrs. A. N. Hornsby. Mrs. M. J. Davis of Los Angeles is in San Diego for a few weeks, stopping at the Gordon hotel. On May 2nd the C. E. County convention will hold their regular meeting with the colored citizens of Bethel A. M. E. church; which will be a union convention with colored C. E. at 1647 Front street. The officers of the C. E. expect to have a grand time. Pres. D. H. Maxwell, vice-pres. Mrs. Ella White; quiet hour supt. Burton Thomas. The Hornsby Bros., entertainers, are employed by the Star & Crescent Boat Co. at the foot of Broadway. They have played for this company for nearly two years. Every day two trips are made, besides making extra trips for all the moonlight excursions. They are two young men that the colored citizens of San Diego should be proud of as they are making a mark in the world by their effective way of entertaining. They have received and are receiving letters from all over the United States complimenting their playing and singing. The Senior choir of the A. M. E. church rendered the Easter program. Cupid is certainly shooting his darts in San Diego. Invitations The little boy of Rev. and Mrs. T. Allen Harvey fell from a two story window Tuesday afternoon and was badly hurt. We wish for his speedy recovery. We are glad to see Joe Stansel able to be out again. James Warren has been confined to his bed for over a week with appendicitis. We think that the Eagle would be glad to know of a little mysterious happening which occurred last week among the chicken and pigeon family. At the home of Mrs. L. L. Alexander a hen laid an egg under the house about three weeks ago. A pigeon finding the egg in the nest, took her abode there for three weeks, and last week came forth into the world a healthy little chick. Mrs. Pigeon pranced around considerable and it was hard to pacify her. The little chick was taken into the house by Mrs. Alexander and she is doing all she can to raise it up properly. We hope to learn more of this little chick in the near future. Fault Finding Never employ yourself to discover the faults of others—look to your own. You had better find out one of your own faults than 10 of your neighbors. When a thing does not suit you, think of some pleasant quality in it. There is nothing so bad as it might be. There are some p-r-sons who seem to treasure up things that are disagreeable on purpose. The tongue that feeds on mischief, the babbling, the tattling, the sly whispering, all these tongues are trespassing on the community constantly. The fiery tongue is also abroad, and being set on fire of hell, scatters firebrands among friends, sets families, neighborhoods, churches and social circles in a flame; I can understand how a boy that never had been taught better might carry torpedoes in his pocket, and delight to throw them down at the feet of passers by and see them bound. But I cannot understand how an instructed and well-meaning person could do such a thing. And yet there are men who carry torpedoes all their lives, and take pleasure in tossing them at people. "Oh," they say, "I have something now, and when I meet that man, I will give it to him." And they wait for the right company, and the right circumstances and then they are out with the most disagreeable things. If they are remonstrated with it, they say, "It is true," as if that was a justification of their conduct. If God should take all the things that are true of you and make a scourge of them and whip you with it, you would be the most miserable of men. It is easier to avoid a fault than to acquire a perfection. By other's faults wise men correct their own. He that condemns a small fault commits a great one, and remember that the greatest of all faults is, to believe we have none. OAKLAND JOTTINGS By "Jakie" Peyton Thursday evening a very prettily arranged private dancing party was given at Carpenter's Hall by Misses Grace McDowald, Emma Scott and Ethel Brown. Miss Ethel White visited Sacramento the end of last week, where she attended a ball game and a reception and othersocial functions complimentary to her. The Ladies' Clubs of Oakland are busy and Raisin Day promises to be the feature day. The results of which we hope to publish later. The Oakleaf Baseball Club of Oakland say they are camping closely on the trail of the Los Angeles Hoege Giants. "Me thinks I hear something, or somebody must be scared." Claxton had 19 strikeouts Sunday. FIRST CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS The Allen Allensworth Club will stage "The Wedding Feast" from Samuel Coleridge Taylor's Hiawatha in the near future. We have already a galaxy of some of Los Angeles' best musicians, both instrumental and vocal, but we need about fifty more voices. It matters not whether you sing bass, alto tenor or soprano—come, we want you to join this chorus—in your future musical education it will mean more to you than to us. We meet every Monday and Thursday evening at the Second Baptist church on Maple Ave., between 7th and 8th streets, and will be glad to meet you there next Monday evening. Dr. Wilbur C. Jordan is directing the chorus. In addition to his native ability as a musician and instructor he is injecting great energy into the work at this time and already the "Wedding Feast," the biggest literary effort yet undertaken by the Los Angeles public, spells success. While Dr. Gordon is ably directing the chorus, Mrs. M. E. Roberts-Saunders, assisted by other competent musicians, presides at the piano. The Grocertia 220 Broadway, San Diego.

What we are fighting here is the shiftless, and Jim Crow Negroes, who are human para time they get busy is in political times or white man drives them. We have that sort with they have fooled the white folks into the belief The Oakland Sunshine is taking to task the members of the Race who are passing for white in their bailiwick. We feel that if one will note the progress of the Race in fifty years they should be proud to be identified with such a Race as this, and those who call themselves getting by, after all would if they cleaved to the Race be only weights on their continued progress. What we are fighting here is the shiftless, immoral, grafting and Jim Crow Negroes, who are human parasites and the only time they get busy is in political times or when some cheap white man drives them. We have that sort with us right now. They have fooled the white folks into the belief that they are real representative Negroes and they are actually taken seriously. We have the Jim Crow editor of a white man's poster sheet getting busy raking chestnuts for this cheap white man to eat. We have alone and single handed fought this sort of thing, because we believe that from no standpoint whatever can such conditions as,this be justified. The editor of The Eagle at this time is persona non grata with at least some of the political riff raff that is afloat around us in this vicinity; now while we have put ourselves upon no pedestal of superior attainment, we are satisfied and really feel highly complimented to have such part of our body politic to denounce us. Since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, we have stood for common decency, law and order and therefore it is natural that we shall have the ill will of this gentry. In this last episode, we have simply insisted that recognition be given to clean industrious and representative citizens, instead of to the shiftless and to those who are drones in our fight for racial progress.

CUT THIS OUT—Take to the polls for reference. Election Tuesday, May 2. "Rube" Foster was so glad to get such stars as Wood and Washington, who proved to be the best pitchers on his staff that he overworked them in his anxiety to win games. As a result they threw their arms away. Rube sent them home for a month's rest after which they will join the Giants in Chicago. They made wonderful records while up north. Of course you are not surprised in the least to know that our boys hooked, crossed, punched and uppercutted their way to victory over the haughty Crown city lads in that much talked of baseball game last Thursday and what's more we licked'em in their own back yard. "Home Run" Baker and 'Cutey" Patterson took advantage of the fact that Reynolds didn't know how to pitch and drove out 4 hits apiece. Carr of Pasadena got 3 swats but then he and our pitcher Bowdoin are good friends. We came pretty near forgetting to tell you the score, but that is such a trifle. The final count being 10 to 7. Bowdoin proved that he wasn't a bit selfish because when I asked why he allowed 9 hits, he answered "We may want to play them again some day." You see he could have shut them out, but he thought of the team. The game was so unintsresting for Pasadena that Capt. Lawrence sacrificed himself in order that Pasadena, fans might have something to get excited over. Sliding home on a hit and run play in the ninth he sprained his ankle which will kee p him out of the game for some time Mrs. R.

The charge is praying for his arrangements to be made soon.

PEASTER Taken from William's Negro History in America—1619 to 1880 vol. 326, 73:1a, pp. 192-193. William Costin's mother, Ann Dandridge, was the daughter of a half-breed Indian and colored. Her grandfather being a Cherokee chief and her reputed father was the father of Martha Dandridge, afterwards Mrs. Custin, who in 1795 was married to General George Washington, these daughters, Ann and Marta, grew up together on the ancestral plantations. William Costins reputed father was white and belonged to a prominent family in Virginia, but the mother after his birth married one of the Mount Vernon slaves by the name of Costin and the son took the name of William Costin, his mother being of Indian descent, made him under the laws of Virginia, free born man In 1800 he married Philadelphia Judge, his cousin, one of Martha Washington's slaves at Mount Vernon, where both were born. In 1980 the wife was given Martha Washington, at her deceased, to the granddaughter. Eliza Parke Custis, who was the wife of Thomas Law of Washington. Soon after William Costin, and wife came to Washington, the wife's freedom was secured on kind and easy terms and the children were all born free. This is the account which William Custin, his wife and mother, Ann Dandridge, always gave of their ancestry and were persons of great precision in all matters of family history as well as of the most mark scrupleousness in their statements. Their seven children, five daughters and two sons, went to school with the white children on Capitol Hill, to Mrs. Maria Haley and other teachers. The two younger daughters completed their education at the Colored Bonvent in Baltimore. Louisa Parke and Ann passed their school days before the convent was founded. Louisa Parke Costin opened her school at 19 years of age, continuing it with much success until her death in 1831, the year her mother also died When Martha returned from the Convent Seminary, a year or two later, she reopened the school, continuing until 1839. This school was maintained some 15 years and was always full. The three surviving sisters own and reside in the house which they built. About 1812 one of these sisters married Richard Fisk, a colored man of good education who died in California. She new has charge of the Senate Ladies' Reception Room, Ann Costin was for several years in the family of Mayor Lewis at Wood lawn. Mrs Eleanor Custis was the granddaughter of Martha Washington. This school was not molested by mob of 1835 and it was always under the care of a well bred and well educated teacher. THE MAN, THE CHURCH AND THE TIME Evangelistic Campaign and School of Methods For Sunday School Workers. The long looked for school for Sunday school workers under the direction of Rev. G. W. Reed, expert in young people's work, is adout to be an assured fact, Dr. Tillman, pastor of the St. Paul Baptist church, has thrown open the doors of his church to be used by the faculty of experts with Rev.

The school, will open Tuesday the 25th at 4:15 p.m. Every superintendent, teacher and all others who are desirious of becoming efficient Sunday school workers are invited to attend. There will be no special fee charged for the course. The school of methods will be held along with an evangelistic meeting, which will also be conducted by Evangelist Reed, who in the last three months has created for himself the distinction of being one of the most successful evangelist that has ever visited this part of the state. Pastors of churches where he has held meeting, to a man, gives him this credit. He is co-apared by some with Billy Sunday, by others with Dr. C. T. Walker, and by others as the most THE HOUSE OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM THE HOME OF THE MAYOR The Los Angeles District of the California Conference of the A. M.

The afternoon session found Mrs. Judkins in her place as district superintendent. Miss Grace Owens of Watts was made secretary and immediately the convention was organized for work. The papers presented were well prepared and commanded the best thought of the body. Friday afternoon the election of superintendent and assistant superintendent resulted in the election of Mrs. Judkins of Pomona for the former and Mrs. L. Holcomb of Los Angeles for the latter. The first evening was given over to a reception by the church ```markdown ``` *onderful young evangelist they nave ever heard. The work of Evangelist Reed has proved him. During fifty five days' meeting held in five different churches, there has been nearly 100 converts and accessions. Dr. J. M. Riddle, pastor of the Friendship Baptist church of Pasadena, recommending him after he had held a ten days' successful meeting for him recently. "As an evangelist Rev. Reed is eminently qualified to give any church and pastor a great lift in his evangelistic efforts. He is a great gospel preacher; he is sane in his evangelistic methods; he is chase in his conduct on the field; he knows the people and what to say; he is not an evangelistic fanatic; all his methods are commendable. Rev. J. D. Gordon, D.D., of Tabernacle Baptist church; Rev. H. L. McKenney, S.T.B., of Mason Chapel M.E. church; Rev. W. H. Hughes, of Metropolitan Baptist church, Pasadena, equally recommends him. The Baptist Ministers Union of Los Angeles county and Interdenominational Ministers Association of Los Angeles county, have also endorsed him and his efforts as being worthy. Dr. Tillman, the learned pastor, and acknowledged as one of the greatest Bible expositors of the age, shows his appreciation of the ability of Rev. Reed, by being the first to invite him to hold the first school in the church which he pastors. None should miss this God sent evangelist. ```markdown ``` and citizens to the conference and convention. There were two sermons delivered during the conference. Rev. T. A. Harvey spoke on "Man the Habitation of God." The scholarly manner of presentation impressed all with the fact that he is an orator and a student. Thursday evening, after the Women's Missionary rally in the afternoon, Rev. F. F. Moten, of the third church, Los Angeles, delivered a stirring missionary sermon and by the frequent ejaculation of praise in the audience, it was attested that he was feeding "His sheep." Friday evening, after a most excellent program recounting a century of organic life of the church, the principal speaker being the Honorable W. O. Tyler, there passed into history one of the pleasantest and most profitable sessions of the Southern District Conference and Sunday School Conventions of the California Conference.

The 9th Cavalry once astonished the army by reporting not a single desertion in twelve months, an unheard and undreamed of record. Their service during the Spanish War and since has shown our colored troops to be infinitely better fitted for service in our tropical dependencies than white troops. Company L, of the 49th Volunteers composed wholly of colored men and commanded by Captain E. L. Baker, colored veteran who had served for 17 years in the 9th and 10th Cavalry, made a record which no white company remotely approached. This company had on its rolls during a period of twelve months 106 men who were fit for duty at all times and never lost a day on account of sickness. More extraordinary still is the fact that during the same period not one of these men ever went before a court martial. Surely a striking illustration of what can be done by colored officers! Such traits enabled General A. S. Burt, in relinquishing command of the 25th Infantry April 17, 1902 to quote the Inspector General of the army as saying, "The 25th Infantry is the best regiment I have seen in the Philippines."
