The up-to-date City Oil Inspector for serves to be classed as a true philan steadfast friend of poor little or nationality or religious creed, for one thousand children a free stea eat, which greatly adds to their p brighter view of life. The up-to-date City Oil Inspector for the City of Chicago, who rightly deserves to be classed as a true philanthropist or lover of mankind, for he is a steadfast friend of poor little orphaned children, regardless of their race, nationality or religious creed, for once each year he gives nine hundred to one thousand children a free steamboat ride with plenty of good things to eat, which greatly adds to their pleasure and gives them a larger and a brighter view of life. James A. Quinn, who has made a splendid record, as City Oil Inspector, for the city of Chicago, and who is a strong admirer and supporter of Mayor Carter H. Harrison, rightly deserves to be classed as a true lover of mankind and especially of poor, little orphaned children. For once each year, he charters a lake steamer and gives the children a free excursion. On Wednesday of this week, Mr. Quinn secured the steamer, Pere Marquette, No. 5, which is one of the largest boats plying on Lake Michigan, and between 900 and 1,000 children were given a delightful ride on it to Waukegan and return. Mr. Quinn secured the aid of 60 Catholic sisters to look after the wants of the children in every particular. Out of that number many Italian children, 2 Japanese and 2 Chinese and 25 little Colored children. The Colored children were accorded the same treatment as the others and most of them reside in the 21st ward, and they look up to Mr. Quinn as their daddy and protector. Mr. Quinn loaded the boat down with 600 lunch boxes, 40 cases of pop, 100 pounds of peanuts, 1,000 ice cream cones, 15 gallons of strawberry ice cream; 2,000 sticks of peppermint candy and 1,000 packages of crackerjacks and 12 dozen of fried chickens for the sisters and guests. As the children ate to the fill, they blest Mr. Quinn and were very sorry that they were unable to enjoy all of those good things every day. THE HOME COMING OF HON. ROGER C. SULLIVAN, JOHN P.

It was our pleasure to enjoy a lunch with Mr. Ross at Col. William Lewis' Mineral Spring Cafe, 3517 S. State street, and during the course of our conversation with Mr. Ross, he expressed his unbounded faith in President Woodrow Wilson, and he is still firmly of the opinion that later on in his administration his Colored adherents will loom up very prominently in the eyes of the President and that he will reward many of them for their long and past services to the Democratic Party.

Next Monday—Labor Day—at 10 o'clock the public is invited to attend the formal opening of Amanda Smith Industrial School for Girls at North Harvey, at which time appropriate exercises will be held. This event should be considered well worth the attention and approval of every friend of orphan and dependent Colored girls and all should show their interest in the new work. After years of unselfish effort for the benefit of Colored orphans, the Institution at North Harvey has received the endorsement of the State Board of Charities and is now officially recognized by the Juvenile and County Courts of our State. Having received public approval, it is now up to the Colored people to show such an interest in their orphan and dependent children that our courts will be justified in sending to our own teachers these children to receive tuition, moral and industrial training. We will receive help in that work from our White friends in the measure that we show interest and ability to discharge the duties assumed under the authority of the State Charter. Already the school is making the most favorable impression. Ten girls have been sent to the school by the Juvenile Court of Chicago, all being well cared for.

THE MEETING OF THE STATE FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS. The Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which closed its 14th annual session at Springfield last week, showed splendid growth and progress; 111 delegates from 17 towns were present aside from many visitors; $257.00 was paid into the treasury from dues and the department of Ways and Means, Mrs. Belle Taylor, Rock Island Church. The Federation endorsed unanimously the Lincoln Semi-Centennial Celebration to be held in 1915, its commissioners, four of whom, i. e., Bishop Fallows, Mrs. Susan L. Joergen-Dahl, Senator Dalley and Major Ford made splendid addresses before the convention. Mrs. Mary F. Waring, chairman of the Executive Board fairly outdone herself in her response. Mrs. Waring's Response. "For more than four hundred years the Colored people were taught to bow to the White man, to do his bidding, morally and physically. In spite of this such men as Cripus Attucks of Massachusetts, Nat Turner of Virginia, and others whose names do not appear in the White man's history struck for protection and liberty long before Abraham Lincoln was sent by a higher power to liberate our race." The Federation also sent letters of protest against the unjust and uncalled for segregation and increased prejudice at Washington to each Illinois Senator, Congressman, the President and Mrs. Wilson. Two hundred copies were printed and placed in the hands of every delegate, with instructions that every club in the state follow the example of the Federation. Ex-Senator T. T. Allain was untiring in his efforts to make the visitors feel at home, not only in his cordial address of welcome but in getting full reports published each day in the Illinois Register, also in distributing hundreds of copies of valuable literature to the newly enfranchised delegates, for which he received the hearty unanimous thanks of the convention. Mrs. Joergen-Dahl threw open the doors of her beautiful home on Wednesday and bade the delegates welcome in an informal reception. The convention adjourned Friday to meet in Moline, August, 1914. The newly elected officers of the Federation are as follows for the new year: President—Mrs. Ida D. Lewis of Chicago.

THE FORTHCOMING NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. Nashville, Tenn.—There will be no spectators and visitors on the floor of the National Baptist Convention proper during the sessions of that body in this city from September 17th to the 22nd. The gallery has been reserved for them. This information comes from President Morris and Secretary R. B. Hudson after they had made a careful examination of the Ryan Auditorium where the sessions will be held. They state that it will be possible to seat the delegations by states on the lower floor and this will give the gallery space to visitors. President Morris states that the new constitutional amendment which provides that each messenger pay a fee of $2.00 will keep an unusually large throng off the main floor and will assist in the expediting of business, as only official delegates who have qualified and whose qualifications can be vouchered for by the official board will be recognized by the chair. In addition to this, it is stated that only chairmen and secretaries of the various boards will have space upon the platform and this will do away with the time honored custom of having one-half the delegates of the convention seated on the platform. According to the interpretation of this order, it is understood that only the Womans' Board, the Foreign Mission Publishing, Benefit, Home Mission, Educational and B. Y. P. U. Boards, with their chairmen, Secretaries and elective officers, will have space and desks on the platform. If this order is carried out, it will be a long step towards organizing the convention along progressive lines. Secretary Hudson states that as soon as arrangement of the state delegations could be made, notice would be given through the National Baptist Union-Review, together with a diagram of the lower floor and gallery of the auditorium. This will be done next week and will give ample time before the delegations begin to arrive from their respective homes to attend the convention. George Thompson, who was convicted a few weeks ago in the United States District Court, in this city and found guilty of being a white slaver, has had a hard time of it since he married a 15-year-old White girl last fall. Shortly after the wedding they fell into the clutches of the law and they were brought back to this city. In time, after being indicted by the Cook County grand jury, Judge William F. Cooper discharged him and Judge Jesse Baldwin annulled the marriage. Then he was indicted by the Federal grand jury as a White slaver, which seems to be a case of race or color prejudice, as he had married the girl in good faith, with the consent of her mother who, later on, for some cause or other changed her mind in that respect. His sister, Miss Susie Thompson, who is taking care of his three young children who were born to his first wife who died four years ago, is endeavoring to raise enough money to appeal his case. Those desiring to aid her should address all contributions to 5520 LaFayette Avenue, Chicago. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Rev. H. J. Callis, D. D., Pastor. In the absence of our pastor on last Sunday who was in attendance of the Connectional Council at Pittsburgh, Pa., Rev. Dr. L. Fenwick filled our pulpit very acceptably both morning and evening. Two persons united with the church during the day. Sunday is Educational Day and the money raised will go for the rebuilding of the girls' Dormitory at Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C. Our pastor, Rev. Callia, will preach at 11 a. m. Subject, "Parents Responsibility in the Education of Children, at 3 p. m. Rev. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Wayman Chapel, will deliver the Educational sermon. In the evening an Educational program will be rendered, at which time Mrs. Fannie Barrier-Williams will speak special music will be rendered at all the services. Mrs. J. T. Holland will sing at the evening service. Dr. and Mrs. Callis returned from Pittsburgh, Pa., on Tuesday and reported a very pleasant and helpful session of the Connectional Council, the Council will meet next year in Norfolk, Va. Mr. Alvin Small and Miss Addie Fielding were united in marriage on Tuesday evening at the home of the bride, Rev. Callis officiating. Mayor Harrison and the Chief-of-Police McWeenay have designated Thursday, Sept. 18th, as Tag Day for our church. An entertainment, entitled "The Devil's Cook Kitchen," will be given in our church Thursday, Sept. 4th, for the benefit of the November rally, Mrs. Lottie Pope in charge."C." AIR, SUNSHINE AND WATER. Few people know perhaps that in the progressive England of to-day there was once a window tax which dated from the middle ages and which was not abolished until 1851. Think of it, a tax on light and air and which, despite the fact that people cut down the number of windows in new houses and bricked and boarded up all they could dispense with in existing houses, this awful tax on people's air and sunlight netted millions of dollars annually to the English government. It is, too, a most singular and interesting fact that just about the time the tax on windows was abolished, the advance in sanitation in England began. To-day we do not have a direct tax on light and air; but, owing to lax and faulty building regulations, many buildings intended for human habitation are woefully deficient in these most important requirement. The Department of Health is compelled to be on the alert all the time in order to prevent the erection of tenements that are lacking in air-space and in the number of windows provided that will afford direct and natural ventilation to the outside air, besides admitting plenty of lifegiving sunshine, which is known as Nature's great destroyer of the germs of disease. In these days of enlightenment and knowledge as to the vale of air and sunshine as agencies contributing to physical health and vigor, it is almost incredible that people will be so greedy and mean as to want to build tenements wherein the rooms are small, dark and improperly ventilated; and then add insult to injury by seeking to collect high rents from those who are compelled to live in these dangerous and disease-breeding domiciles. Next in importance to the air supply in our homes and work places comes that of a plentiful supply of good, pure water. A community's water supply should be both pure and plentiful. It is not in accord with good sanitation that for use in our homes the water supply should be restricted by a metered or measured service that will make people stingy with the use of water for domestic or household purposes. Even where there is an admitted waste of water in the homes this same waste has a distinct and important sanitary value when taken in connection with the question of sewerage disposal. And especially is this true in cities where, owing to topographical conditions the sewers have only a very light gravity flow. In other words, then, the sanitary value of the so-called wasted water is such as to amply pay for the increased cost of pumping a daily per capita supply that viewed only from pumping station cost would seem excessive and useless. So, from what we have said, it is easy to understand that fresh air, sunlight and pure water are most important factors in promoting community health. Easy to see, too, that they are agencies that people should at all times have in unstinted and liberal amounts; for, in their life and health-giving properties these three, air sunshine and water, constitute a wonderful trinity for human good. POLICE HEAD CENSORS GOWNS Attlemoro, Mass., Chief Rules on Wom en's Dress for Street. Plenty of Underwear. Attleboro, Mass.—Chief of Police Charles E. Wilbur has come out with a statement of what a girl or woman should and should not wear to be properly dressed for the street. "There is surely something wrong when a woman has to display her garters in getting on a street car," says the chief. The chief considers the following as what women should wear: Waists—No peekaboos and of sufficient fullness. Skirts—Must be long enough to come below the shoe tops; no slit more than six inches; if of opaque or gauzy material sufficient petticoats and other underwear should be worn so that the legs cannot be distinguished when the wearer stands in a strong light; must have sufficient fulness so that the hips and thigs are not made pronounced by tightness of the skirt. ATTORNEY WILLIAM G. ANDERSON NARROWLY ESCAPED MEETING INSTANT DEATH WHILE BEING RUN DOWN BY A PIANO AUTO TRUCK. Last Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, while Attorney William G. Anderson was alighting from a State street car, south-bound, at 40th and State streets, he was run down by a large auto piano truck belonging to the Cable Piano Company. Albert Lee, Colored, was in charge of 30 it and it was running at the rate of 30 miles an hour. It struck Mr. Anderson just as he was getting off the front end of the car. It knocked him down and battered him up in good shape, but he was fortunate in not having any of his bones broken and since the accident he has been confined to his room, 3400 Wabash avenue, under the medical care of Dr. A. L. and Dr. H. R. Smith. He expects to be able to be out again the first part of this coming week. CHIPS Lawyer B. F. Mossley, 6221 S. Halsted street, has spent the past week at Mt. Clemens, Mich.

Smith entertained thirty-eight guests Saturday August 23rd at her residence, 3265 Vernon avenue with a society cabaret in honor of Mrs. Lottie M. Cooper, New York City. All professional talent participated and the affair was voted by all present as being the most unique and entertaining of any house party given in the city. If flowers while one lives are the thing to be desired, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks got the lion's share—both real and word-painted—Wednesday night. That he is deserving of all that was said of him goes without saying. As a force of uplift and good in the community he stands without a superior, and his church would honor itself by elevating him to the*bishopric.-The Advance, St. Louis, Mo., August 23, 1913. James A. Scott, ex-assistant State's Attorney of Cook County, who has for some time been prominently associated with the law firm of Erbestein & VanBever, suite 430 to 437 First National Bank Building, has been engaged in writing a book touching upon the important part played by the Colored members of the upper and lower house of congress. When the book is completed it will be a valuable literary production. APPEAL—AS IN EQUITY CASE—REVIEW or FACTS—In Houghton v. Burden, 30 Am. B. R. 16, it was held that where a claimant voluntarily comes into bankruptcy proceeding and submits to the adjudication of the bankruptcy court his claim to the proceeds of assigned accounts, which are in the possession of bankrupt's trustee, such an intervention is an intervention in equity, and a decree is reviewable by appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals in the exercise of its general appellate powers in equity cases under section 34a of the Bankruptcy Act; and upon such an appeal the law and the facts are open for consideration. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS Mrs. G. B. Deforest of Newport, R. L. has erected a memorial stone to her deceased pet bulldog. Miss Ina Shepherd of Birmingham, Ala., is credited with being the first woman to have charge of a clearing house. Mrs. Harriet Johnston-Wood, a practicing lawyer of New York, is waging a determined campaign to be appointed to the bench in the children's court in that city. The first woman commissioner of any city which has adopted the commission of government is Miss Julia B. Johnson, who is city commissioner of Sacramento, Cal. Miss Dora Keen of Philadelphia, the mountain climber, is a slight little woman of much personal charm, about the last one would pick in a crowd as the conqueror of Mt. Blackburn, one of the highest peaks in Alaska. Mrs. Laura V. G. Mackie and Mrs. Samuel Holman have been registered school voters of Attleboro, Mass., for a period of thirty-one years. They were the first women to register there and have since been voting at every election. Train and Track. Hobart, Australia, has municipal street car lines. There are 256 railway stations within a six mile radius of St. Paul's cathedral, London. If plans for standardizing the gauge of the railways of Australia as recommended by the chief engineers of the different lines be carried out it will mean an expenditure of $180,000,000. The average freight train load in the United States is, or was in 1910, 380 tons. In England the average is only about eighty-five or ninety tons, except on the Northeastern railway. This railway by introducing American methods has, a railway journal asserts, increased its average train load to nearly 134 tons. Telephone Calls. The telephones of Canada number 370,884, one for every twenty persons. Submarine telephony has been accomplished over a distance of eleven miles in England with insulated wires. Under new German rules no local telephone conversation may last longer than six minutes and no long distance conversation longer than nine. Two-thirds of the telephones used in the world are in the United States, or a total of over 8,362,000. To operate them requires more than 18,000,000 miles of wire. The Art of War. Bullet proof armor to protect pilot, passenger and motor is required in the latest specifications for aeroplanes for the United States army. The French soldiers convert the gun caisson into an observation tower by turning its shaft upward and equipping it with a ladder and platform. An English engineer proposes to defend his country in event of war by suspending bombs from balloons, which could be exploded from the ground when approached by a hostile dirigible or aeroplane. Recent Inventions. Metal legs to be snapped on wash-tubs to raise them from floors have been patented by a Wisconsin man. Arguing that a thief will be less likely to steal hand baggage that has no handle upon it, an inventor has patented a detachable handle for suit cases. A talking machine may be made to repeat a record through the invention by a German of a disk on which is a return groove to carry the needle automatically from the end back to the starting point. Sporting Quips. King George's yacht has won a race. There were no American entries.-St. Louis Republic. Luckily for some, there is only one lower end to each baseball percentage column.-Chicago News. A pitcher may fool some of the batsmen all of the time, and all of the batsmen some of the time, but now and then they get together and knock him out of the box.-Pittsburgh Post. Policewomen. Baltimore has had policewomen for some time, but, unlike Chicago, the Maryland metropolis does not know how to advertise itself properly.—New York World. Boston, too, is to have policewomen, so that no young man may speak to a young woman unless they have been introduced and both their families came over in the all commodious Mayflower.—Detroit Journal. Short Stories. It is estimated that there are atleast 2,000,000 gasoline or oil engines at work on the farms of the United States. Though school states have been thought to be out of date, more than 4,000,000 of them were manufactured in the United States last year.

Mexican Stamps The Mexican stamp bears the coat-of-arms of the country—an eagle on a cactus, holdig a serpent in its talons. This device is the outgrowth of a legend that the first Aztec settlers chose the site of their city from seeing an eagle so engaged and situated on that spot. Killa Bad Odore. Dried orange peel, allowed to smolder on a piece of red hot iron or an old shovel, will kill any bad odor in existence and leave a fragrant one behind instead. Hungry Swallows One swallow will eat at least 6,000 flies a day. What's In a Name. The original bearer of the name of Legless was so called merely because he was a lawyer. Originally the name was spelled Laegless, the expression signifying "learned in the law." Strangely enough, Lawless is derived from exactly the same source and signifies exactly opposite to its apparent meaning. Pretty Mean. Probably the meantest will on record was that of a Pennsylvania man who, upon death, left to his wife $1 and directed it be mailed to her in an unsealed letter. Eel Blood The blood of the eel injected into a vein is a deadly poison to man. Blind Horses Blind horses are never known to make a mistake in their diet when grazing. Like all other horses, they are guided by the nostrils in the selection of proper food. Walsh Rabbit. "Welsh rabbit," as the rarebit is known in England, gets its name because of the Welshman's fondness for cheese. A. Dangerous Foot A Dangerous Feel. For a fear of dexterity and nerve it would be difficult to surpass that of the Bosjesman of South Africa, who walks quietly up to a puff adder and deliberately sets his bane foot on its neck. In its struggles to escape and attempts to bite its assailant the polson gland secretes a large amount of the venom. This is just what the Bosjesman wants. Killing the snake, he eats the body and uses the poison for his arrows. Turkish Candy. Large quantities of American starch are being used in British Arabia in the manufacture of sweetmeats and particularly of "Turkish delight," the peculiar candy of the Turks. BIG INCENTIVE TO THE RACE Meet Foreible Address by Booker T. Washington In Defense of His Countrymen Thrilled His Audience—Number of Important Topics Discussed by the Delegates. Philadelphia.—The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league, which finished its three days' session in this city Friday, will go down in history as the most successful meeting ever held up to this time. It was successful in point of attendance, interesting program and as to arrangements for the entertainment of guests. The Negro business men of this city sustained the traditional reputation of Philadelphia for hospitality. Beginning with the opening session at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, there was not a dull session during the meeting nor a moment when interest and earnestness was not intense. Too much praise for the success attending the local arrangements cannot be accorded Charles H. Brooks, chairman of the committee of arrangements, and his energetic assistants on that committee. Of course the greatest interest centered in the address of Dr. Booker T. Washington, which was delivered Wednesday night at the Academy of Music. The speaker when he arose faced a veritable sea of faces. Every available space in that vast amphitheater was occupied by men and women of every nationality, eager to catch the inspiring words of the race's greatest leader. The applause, tumultuous and spontaneous, which greeted him told better than any word description how high they held him and how deep rooted is the confidence of the race reposed in him. Five thousand people sat before him, at times convulsed with laughter at his humorous sayings, at times speechless in admiration, again enthralled by his forcible eloquence. The doctor drove home to the hearts of his great audience his arguments in favor of the necessity of character building, industrial and commercial development within the race and the cultivating of the respect of the best white citizens. His defense of his race was the strongest yet heard coming from his lips, and his optimism—his expressed confidence in the belief that present handicaps simply constitute an incentive to a forward movement which must eventually batter down every wall erected by race prejudice—was infectious. He reviewed the record of the race made during the fifty years of freedom which this year marks. He presented a brilliant panorama of the race's progress from abject slavery and miserable poverty to a free people with possessions amounting to over $700,000,000. He figuratively drew aside the curtain which separates the future to show where the achievements of the first fifty years of freedom, now almost in retrospect, would land the race when the century of freedom had been recorded. The famed constructive Negro statesman was at his best. Every word he uttered went straight home to abide with his audience as a constant promoter to highest achievements. And when he concluded, and sat down amid prolonged applause—applause whose spontaneity showed how thoroughly the speaker had his audience with him—every one in that vast assemblage felt that here was a Moses, with divine inspiration, who had been sent to lead his people up and out of the slough of despondency to the high plane of useful activity, a leader who means to make his race dwell more upon the permanent good which can be achieved rather than upon the obstructions in the form of unjust race discrimination and restriction which he at no time justifies, but condemns, and which, at best, can be but a temporary hindrance to a race determined to succeed. Following the calling of the national body to order by Dr. A. B. Jackson, president of the local league, and the appointment of the various committees, a number of topics were discussed by delegates who had previously been assigned to speak on them. Among the subjects spoken on at the Wednesday morning session were "Potato Growing," "Making Farming Pay," "Growing and Marketing Watermelons and Cantaloupes," "Poultry Raising" and "Building and Contractors." "Wednesday afternoon John Wannamaker received the delegates in the famous Egyptian hall of his Broad street store, after which the members were conducted through the establishment. Following this, automobiles were placed at the service of all for a sightseeing ride about the city. At the Wednesday evening session, following the address of welcome by Director of Public Safety Porter, in the absence of the mayor, and the address of Dr. Washington, the following subjects were discussed by assigned speakers: "Managing a Line of Drug Stores," "The Retail Drug Business," "Real Estate and Building," "Making Bootblacking Pay," "Shoes Manufacturing," and "The Work of the Virginia Organization Society." At the Thursday morning session the following subjects were discussed: "Experience as an Architect and Builder," "Tailoring," "Colored Cleaners and Dyers' Association," "General Merchandising," "Back to the Country," being a symposium discussion; "The $100,000 Cotton Oil Seed Mill at Mound Bayou," "Organizing the First Old Line Legal Reserve Insurance Company," "Development of Industrial Insurance," "The Negro Inventor," "The Hauling and Express Business." Thursday evening's subjects were "The Negro Town—The Opportunities It Affords;" "Negro Occupations In Philadelphia," "Electrical Engineering," "Catering," "A Kitchen Supply Company," "Experience and Success In the Grocery Business," "Dressmaking as a Profession," "Manufacturing Hair Preparations," "Negro Business Development In Kansas," "My Steam Bakery" and "The Place of Education In Business." Friday's topics were "The Negro Banker," "The Negro Undeftaker," "The Negro Bar Association," "Packing and Shipping Furniture," "Wholesale Commission Produce" and "Ice Cream Manufacturing." The arrangements for the entertainment of the guests included, among other things, a banquet Friday night and an excursion Saturday up the Delaware river as far as Burlington island and a visit to League island, where the visitors were shown aboard the mighty sea fighters of Uncle Sam lying there at anchor. The banquet was attended by fully 1,000. It was held in Horticultural hall, Philadelphia's most splendid assembly hall, which was brilliantly decorated and illuminated for the occasion. The decorations, the handsome women in stunning gowns, men in full evening dress and entrancing music presented the most brilliant sight ever witnessed among the Negroes of the Quaker City. It was the consensus of opinion here that no meeting of Negroes heretofore held in this city made such a splendid impression or was more inspiring or served as great an incentive to the race as this meeting of the National Negro Business league. The white citizens, conscious of the splendid effect it would have and fully appreciative of the character of men it would bring to the city, vied with the Negroes in doing honor to the visitors. The influence left will doubtless be shown in the establishing of many new business enterprises and the improvement and expansion of those already established. THE A. M. E. CHURCH REVIEW Current Number Covers Many Topics. Praise For Dr. Ransom. The current number of the A. M. E. Church Review, edited by Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, is a literary gem. The contents cover a wide variety of interesting articles written by a group of persons whose versatility of thought and intellectual bent presage high literary culture. The influence of the Review as a molder of helpful sentiment for the denomination and as an advocate of high moral and Christian ethics can hardly be overestimated. It hews to the line, never missing the mark. Credit is due Dr. Ransom for the splendid array of good things spread before the readers in this number. Powerful as a preacher, fearless as an advocate of equal rights for Afro-American citizens, an intellectual giant, Dr. Ransom is doing a great work for the African Methodist Episcopal church in particular and the various religious denominations in general. On the front cover of the magazine is the likeness of Mrs. Alice M. Dunbar, who contributes her first article as head of the woman's department. The subject of Mrs. Dunbar's article is, "What Has the Church to Offer the Men of Today?" Would that this article could be read by every minister, layman or religious worker in whatever line of Christian work. It is instructive and full of suggestions for future review and action. Among some of the other subjects and their authors are: "The Fifteenth Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation," by Dr. Charles W. Elliott; "The Negro in the Higher Altitudes of Music in This Country and Throughout the World," by H. Lawrence Freeman; "The First Congress of Colored Women," by Hon. Richard T. Greener; "The Present Day Opportunity of the Public School," by Professor William E. Guy; "Training the Voters of Tomorrow," Professor William L. Bulkley; "The Minister and Pastoral Visitation," Bishop B. F. Lee, D. D.; "The Minister as a Business Man For the Church," Rev. C. H. Stepten, D. D.; "Turco-Armenian," Professor A. Dumas Delaney, and "The Up to Date Sunday School—How to Organize It and How to Conduct It." Rev. Henry P. Jones, A. M. K., Rev. Reed. "The Vision," by Rev. Robert E. Ford; editorials by the editor, department of social science by Dr. George E. Haynes; "Within the Sphere of Letters" by Dr. G. W. Forbes of the Boston public library, makes reference to many men of letters whose books and music inspire one to high ideals and active endeavor. Largest Mutual Benefit Society. The Southern Benevolent League in New York city is the largest in number and strongest in finance of any organization of its kind composed of colored men from the south in any of the northern states. The financial membership numbers 628. The league was organized twenty-four years ago. Its bank account at the last annual report was $19,000. Paul Hargrave is president of the league. C. G. ALLEN'S AMBITION. Rise of an Energetic Newspaper Correspondent in New York. New York.-Cleveland G. Allen of this city is one of the most energetic newspaper correspondents of the race and is rapidly coming to the fore in the field of journalism. He has covered some notable gatherings both for the daily and weekly newspapers of this country and Canada. He was the only newspaper man of the race present at the great ecumenical Methodist conference, held in the beautiful city of Toronto in 1911. At Toronto Mr. Allen represented the interest of the fifty Afro-American delegates to that conference, representing the various branches of the Methodist church among them. He has covered the conferences of Bishops G. W. Clinton and Alexander Walters of the Zion church. Bishop Walters has given him much encouragement in his work, and his first trip was with Bishop Walters. Mr. Allen has reported the doings of the race for the daily papers of Atlantic City, Buffalo, Yonkers, Patterson, N. J., and New York. While in Buffalo he wrote for the daily papers of that city a special fea- CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. ture article on the life and career of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, one of the most noble women of the race. Recently Mr. Allen came into national prominence for his investigation into the discrimination of the United States navy against colored men. In his investigation he brought out that the colored sailors were enlisted in the navy only as mess attendants, were never promoted above that rank and were barred from the reading rooms of the ships. His investigation disclosed how colored men were forced to work longer hours than the whites, were required to report an hour earlier when off shore leave, had to stand while eating meals and that life was unbearable for them while aboard ship. Mr. Allen got these startling conditions before the secretary of the navy, who made an inquiry into these conditions and promised to remedy them. The daily papers all over the country took notice of Mr. Allen's charges, and many of them commented editorially on the investigation. He is continuing his investigation and promises to reveal some further startling facts. Mr. Allen has received praise from the leading men and women of the race for revealing these revolting conditions. Several months ago he got into a controversy with a leading New York daily because he attacked the present administration's attitude on the race question. He is well known in New York, where he is active in Y. M. C. A. and church work. He is a member of St. Mark's M. E. church. Mr. Allen was born in Greenville, S. C., of free parents and was educated in the public schools of his native town. He continued his studies at the De Witt Clinton high school and the City college here. Mr. Allen will enter the school of journalism of Columbia university this fall in further preparation for his career as a newspaper man. The De Frees-Patterson Elopement. Samuel De Frees, an Afro-American of dark olive complexion, recently eloped with Miss Gertrude Patterson, daughter of Frank Patterson, said to be one of the wealthiest white men in the Passaic section of New Jersey. The couple were married in Kingston, Ont., according to a marriage license which De Frees showed to the authorities when taken to the county jail in Paterson, N. J., having been arrested on complaint of his wife's father on his return from Canada. The couple were released from the county sheriff's custody upon evidence of legal marriage. The bride is said to be one of the handsomest white girls in northern Passaic county and an heiress to part of a $30,000 estate. Mrs. De Frees is twenty-eight years old. Up to Aug. 20 no influence had been strong enough to persuade Mrs. De Frees to leave her husband. Mount Bethel Baptist Convention. The Mount Bethel Baptist convention held its thirty-ninth annual session at Fulton Baptist church, Division street, Baltimore, from Aug. 26 to 28, inclusive. The Sunday school convention and woman's auxiliary also held sessions on the same dates. The Rev. Dr. Jonea Watkins of Baltimore is moderator of the general body, and Emmett Preston is president of the Sunday school auxiliary. Miss Lula Scott Richardson of Baltimore is president of the woman's auxiliary. Remarkable Advances in Education. Forty-six years ago the number of colored children in school was estimated at 111,442. There were 2,087 teachers in schools for colored, and out of that number 600 were colored. The number of pupils reported in 1912 was 1,700,000 and teachers 31,000.

"Dey say der minister lifed in dis house, hey?" "Yes, sr." "Yess? Vell, I want me to kit merriet." "All right. I can marry you," she said.

Ere Jones went on his prize vacation He said: "I'll need some books to read. 'Twill add unto my recreation So send the new books—send them all." The fiction crop this year they say, sir, Is heavy. That can't be denied." And Jones rushed out and saw them carting Love tales and "crook" yarns by the ton. "Oh what," he cried, with optics starting. "I'm this mad thing that I have done?" And straightway in a heap he tumbled. The ambulance took him away. But still the fiction order rumbled Up to the Jones front door all day. —Arthur Chapman in Denver Republican. A Gentle Hint. "I was speaking with your father last night," said the young man. "Oh, were you?" answered the sweet young thing, lowering her eyes. "What were you talking about?" "About the likelihood of a war with Mexico. Your father said if there was a war he hoped it would be short." "Oh, yes; I know papa is very much opposed to long engagements."—Yonkers Statesman. Can You—? Girl with glory gilded hair, Girl of grand and gushing graces, Fairy fine and fair and fair, Can you wash the children's faces? When the rosy morning bright Paints rare roof and special spire, Banishing the shades of night, Can you start the kitchen fire? Willing wight, with you I wander, Springtime's sweetness overhead. Pensive, all your proofs I ponder. But, Babe, can you bake good bread? Tested, true and tried and tender, Heart in which I place reliance, Hast thou hallowed thee? Maiden, in domestic science? —Cleveland Plain Dealer Too Late. "Yes," he was saying, "as a matter of fact, a man doesn't learn what happiness really is until he is married." "I'm glad you've discovered that at last," replied she, with visions of immediate proposal. "Yes," he continued, "and when he's married it's too late."—Brooklyn Chi- The First Caricature The First Caricature. When man was made (of dust they say) The sneering Satan marked his shape. Then took another piece of clay And in derision made the ape. While man, who wouldn't be denied, Sat every monkey house agape By claiming, with a blastant pride, He was descended from the apa. -Beytrand Shadwell in New Zealand Times.

The most distant planet in our solar system, Neptune, is 2,750,000,000 miles from the sun, and yet the arm of the sun reaches out and controls the remote planet without the least difficulty. In a word, gravity is universal, every atom in the universe exerting its influence upon every other atom. Cleaning Tiling. Never clean tilings with water, as it invariably looses them.

A good hint for those who do their own paperhanging is to apply the paste to the wall instead of to the paper. Amateurs will find it much easier to match the pattern, and the paper is less liable to tear by following this method, besides saving time and trouble. Japan's Coal Deposita. There are 1,200,000,000 tons of coal deposits in Japan. This coal is now being mfed at the rate of 14,000,000 tons a year. Snoring. Snoring is due to air drawn in and expelled through the mouth in such a way as to set the soft palate and uvula vibrating. The reason a person is apt to snore when lying on the back is that in that position the lower jaw is apt to drop down from the pull of gravity, thus opening the mouth and causing the sleeper to breathe through it instead of through the nose. While lying on the side no effort is required to keep the mouth closed. Tree Hearts. The "heart wood" of a tree has ceased to take any part in the vegetative economy of the tree. Its only use is to strengthen the trunk. Lace Centers. Brussels is one of the four important centers for the manufacture of high priced gloves, Grenoble, Paris and Luxemburg being the only other centers of equal or greater importance. Dated Spoons. During the seventeenth century in England, before the English spoons changed from the round to the oblong bowls, it was customary to date them. A Good Floor Stain. A good floor stain that goes right into the wood and is very durable is made of linede oil colored with ground burnt umber. Rub thoroughly into the boards with a flannel pad and next day polish with beeswax and turpentine or any floor polish that you are in the habit of using. Electricity In Coal Mines. Stray electric currents have been found in Kentucky coal mines sufficiently powerful to explode blasting powder. Packing China. Packing China. Pack glass or china in straw that had been slightly moistened. This will prevent the articles from slipping about. Wrap each article separately, placing the heaviest on the bottom.

Some of our new types of "Composite" Gas Ranges have burners in the bottom of the lower oven—especially for cooking vegetables. Every "Composite" is of course equipped with a "simmering" burner on top. You will find a "Composite" Range much more economical than a hot plate or single oven stove. "Composite" Ranges are built for us in fifty shapes. They are sold on monthly payment plans—delivered and connected free. We are selling over 150 "Composites" every day.
