TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 49. THE FILM OF "THE WOMAN IN THE HAT" BY JOHN BURTON, AUTOGRAPHED BY JOHN BURTON, AUTOGRAPHED BY JOHN BURTON. LE VOLON INCREASES SUCCESS TWENTY-EIGHT For the THE little miss has a much wider choice in hats than she had a few years ago. Since it became the fashion to copy shapes made for grown-ups, in small sizes, for young heads, children's millinery has become much more interesting to the purchaser and much less taxing in its demands on the milliner. The variety in shapes makes it possible, also, to suit the child's individual style. Two good designs are shown here, suitable for girls from about 8 to 16 years old. They are made on the familiar bell and helmet shapes and only differ from these shapes made for grown people, in the matter of size. The bell-shaped hat appears to be covered with silk, but would be just as effective in a braid. It is covered with rows of fine-meshed lace, alternating with motifs in flower forms made of braid. The petals of each motif is filled with a figured net. A wreath of small ribbon roses, set in millinery foliage and showing more buds than blossoms, is divided and placed part on the upper right brim and the under left brim. The design is particularly good for girls who wear curls. White is the color chosen in this model, but any pale tint is pretty. A light blue braid of straw covers This is of soft satin draped with Ninon-de-sole of the same color, and trimmed with lace and satin bands. The hat is of tegal straw trimmed with roses. Other Velvet Accessories. Velvet ornaments summer raiment in the way of Swiss embroidered or openworked linen, muslin or cambric dresses, more often than not charmingly worked in floral sprays and designs, with mercerized cotton, that looks remarkably like silk. A velvet sash and groups of small velvet buttons make an effective trimming, and complete a summer frock most daintily. THE GAZETTE the helmet shape, shown in the second picture. A band of rose petals, made of ribbon in a slightly darker shade of blue, is laid about the base of the crown, finished with a flat rosette at the front, made of the same petals. A lustrous, light weight satin ribbon is used for the band. A short, fluffy, "made" quill in dark and fridescent feathers is posed at the left front of the hat, and may be dispensed with when the hat is made for a very young girl. The same design is pretty with small flowers set in the ribbon band at intervals or with four rosettes like that at the front, dividing the band into four lengths. These little shapes stay on well and provide some, shade for the eyes. Wide-brimmed Leghorns and other straws are never out of fashion and probably never will be. Lace bonnets with simple outlines and fluffy lace hats are worn every year. The lingerie hats made of embroideries and of flowered fabrics like dimity and cretonne are ideal for misses, made in simple, youthful fashion. The time has gone by when it was hard to choose a hat for the little girl or young miss. She is sure to be pleased among the many styles that the designers of millinery have this season made for her. GOWNS FOR THE SUMMER Wide Choice of Colors is Allowed for the Costumes of the Pre-vailing Season. Gowns of liberty satin are practical as well as effective, and quite as many colored as black ones are made, while the same can be said of the soft-finished taffeta silks. Many of these gowns have jackets to match, but there is always a waist to match the skirt, fashioned in such manner that the appearance is given of a one-piece gown. This style is perfectly possible on warm days as well as cool, for yoke and sleeves may be of transparent material. Extremely practical, also, are the coat-and-skirt costumes for cool days. In plain color, with trimmings of striped black and white, there is quite a new model with which is worn a lace waist of white over the color of the gown. It is of fillet and irish lace combined. It is not necessary that real lace be used to carry out the model satisfactorily, for there never was a time when so many effective imitation laces could be bought at such low prices.—Harper's Bazar. Restoring Faded Flowers. One may freshen faded artificial flowers by retaining them with water colors. After they are tinted, curl the petals again with the blunt side of a case knife. Notice how the petals curl back before tinting them and then curl in a similar manner and do not apply the paints too wet or it will be impossible to obtain good results. This is the best home method of restoring flowers that have become faded. The New Gloves. The smart French fancy which should reach here soon is the wearing of gray suede gloves in the morning or with all informal costumes. These have one button at the wrist and are then turned widely over the hand into a cuff which is lined with Empire green or Egyptian braid. It is quite a fashion of the moment to have this cuff of the glove carry out the color scheme of the costume. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CHICAGO NEGROES MAKING HEADWAY "Black Belt" of the Windy City Is Rapidly Becoming Depopulated. THRIFTY AND INDUSTRIOUS CHICAGO NEGROES OWN MUCH PROPERTY AND ARE VERY PROGRESSIVE. Chicago.—Less than a decade ago the "Black Belt" of Chicago held practically the bulk of the negro population. State street from the loop to Seventy-ninth street was the natural dividing line between the "belt" and the more favored section to the east. The hygienic and moral conditions west of State street imbued the progressive negroes with a desire to secure better environments and this found expression in the "exodus." "East of State" became the slogan. Discussing the conditions that prevailed in the "Black Belt," Assistant State's Attorney F. L. Barnett recently made the statement that in houses occupied by negroes in the district bounded on the north by Twenty-second street, on the east by State street, on the south by Twenty-ninth street and on the west by Wentworth avenue, a district having a population of 20,000, there were only ten bath tubs. The rooms were frequently ill lighted, poorly ventilated, overcrowded and breeding places for tuberculosis germs. In addition denizens of the red light district, driven by the police from their old haunts, found little difficulty in renting houses in the "belt." Crime grew apace. These conditions combined to make the progressive element of the negroes burst the confines of the "belt" and the exodus "east of State" began. At the inception of this movement, according to Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, wife of the assistant state's attorney, whose indefatigable work for the uplift of her race covers a long period of years, there were not more than ten colored families east of State street. Real estate agents did not deem it advisable to rent to colored tenants. But they were often willing to sell to negroes, providing an incentive for the acquisition of property. Real estate thus sold to negroes was purchased on the installment plan. Nevertheless many of them were frequently able to pay from $100 to $500 down. Ready industry and thrift have told their tale until at this day, once more quoting Mrs. Wella-Barnett, there is not one black east of State street that has not at least one colored family. Whole blocks on fine residential streets are now occupied by negroes. Former County Commissioner Oscar DePriest, now engaged in the real estate business, says that in the last two years, in the district between Thirty-first and Thirty-ninth street and Cottage Grove avenue and State street, he has rented houses to 150 colored families. He adds that friction between the races has been remarkable for its absence and denies that the renting of property to colored tenants caused it to deteriorate in value. Mr. DePriest, himself a colored man, owns property worth $20,000. SENSE OF DANGER DEVELOPED TO A MARKED DE GREE IN MEN WHO WORK IN MINES. "There is something about mines that appeals to the superstitions of mankind, writes T. Lane Carter in the Mining and Scientific Press. One of the most marked effects he has noticed in men who have spent most of their life in mining is a sense of danger that suddenly comes over them. "Some would call this faculty the sixth sense," he writes. "If you asked a miner how he knows there is something wrong he will reply that he feels it. I had a remarkable illustration of this a few years ago. "I was walking along a main drift with a mine captain, a man who had been working in mines for over forty years, having started as a lad in the mines of Cornwall. Suddenly he stopped and exclaimed that something was wrong. "For the life of me I could not see a thing amiss. The timbers seemed solid, and the drive pillars looked secure. But the captain was not satisfied and insisted on climbing into the stope to investigate. There he found a large crack, running for hundreds of feet, indicating a movement of the strata of serious proportions. "Had this discovery not been made in time there would have been a serious accident in the mine, with a probable loss of life. I dare say the years of experience in the mine had developed a power in him which the men called superstition, but which was really the faculty of accurate observation, which to him seemed unconscious." AWFUL PROSPECT. "We got forty-eight wedding presents." "You're lucky." "We are not. Every one came from friends who are engaged to be married." SAVING THE YOUNG MAN Isaiah Lafayette Moore. There are many things in the mind of the Afro-American people of today, but the most important among them all is the thought of saving the young man or, in other words, saving the future political, social, religious and educational career of the negro race, all of which depends, to a very large degree, on the present generation of young men. Not only is the negro being haunted by these thoughts, but long before now they have revived and illuminated the hearts and minds of the thinking and intelligent classes of other races who, realizing the great responsibilities that will soon rest upon the shoulders of their young men, have made and are making special preparation for their intellectual uplift in science, in literature, in art, and in industrialism. They mean for them to go forward and gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding; to ascend the lofty heights accessible to man, and to steer the old vessel of war against sin and ignorance. No race has ever accomplished much that lived and flourished in one generation only and at its close disappeared from the stage of action. No race has ever accomplished much that lived, from generation to generation and overlooked the possibilities of its young men. The race that lived and flourished in the receded generations and is still living and making progress in the world of knowledge and understanding is that race that realized the development, the future responsibilities and requirements of its young men; and until the men of our race realize, as other races have done, the indispensability of the young man, the negro race will in no wise, ever as a people, accomplish its aims in life. It is sometimes thought that a young man ought to be a great man because he descended from a family of nobility, honor and attainment. But the world today realizes the fact that it is not propetency that makes a man, but the will and determination of a man to be a man. Around him good and uplifting environments; strong teaching and counsel of older and experienced men, all based on the teachings of the Bible together with propetency are what make a man we desire. In looking at the acorn we can never predict the kind and value of the oak it will bring forth. This fact holds true in speaking of the young man. Many a young man from royal and good families has brought himself down in a state of shameful disgrace, all due to low ambitions and the turning of a deaf ear to the loud and thrilling cries of wisdom. The wisdom of men at the head of true, noble and honorable manhood, pleads with young men to allow wise counsel to enter into their lives. Even after they have fallen, if they will but heed such, it will wipe out all the demoralizing things of earth, and raise their heads from the slums and low places to noble, honorable and respectable individuals. There are deducting, yet low, degrading problems that confront every young man, but that young man that has heeded mother's advice, turned in another direction, and with the placid voice of mother ringing in his ear, the love and respect for her burning in his heart, and mastering self until entirely lost in the thoughts of noble manhood overcomes attractions of temptations. Saving the young men of today is saving the world of tomorrow. Mr. George R. Knox in his book entitled "Ready Money" says, "The world needs men—large-hearted and manly men, men who will join in the chorus and prolong the psalm of labor and of life. The age wants heroes, heroes who shall dare to struggle in the solemn ranks of truth and clutch the ministers by the throat and bear opinion to a loftier seat; to blot the errors of oppression out and lead a universal freedom in." In order to answer this call for men, we will have to teach our young men the demoralization in strong drink, gambling and immorality. We will have to teach them the importance of religious service in the uplift of humanity. No individual that has ever risen to a respectable height of religion denies the power and influence of Christianity. Christ walked the avenues of young manhood and closed his mission at thirty-three years of age, conquered sin, death and the grave, in the young manhood of his life, and took back to his heavenly father these victims. Amid songs and the joys of angels, he laid them at his feet as the work of a true, loving and noble son. THE TROUBLE Two old settlers sat smoking in a cabin far away in the backwoods. No woman's hand desecrated that domain, and grime reigned supreme and triumphant. The conversation drifted from politics to cooking. "Yaas," said the elder of the two, with a drawl. "I did get one of them there cook books wasnt, but I could never do nothing with it." "What was the hitch?" inquired the other. "Well, every one of those recipes began in the same way, with the same words. Every one said, 'Take a clean dish—and I never got no further.'"—Tit-Bits. MORE MONEY FOR COLORED SCHOOL MORE MONEY FOR COLORED SCHOOL Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College in Nashville May Get Sum. PEABODY'S DISTRIBUTION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WILL BE TENNESSEE INSTITUTION'S SHARE. Nashville, Tenn.—(Special.)—If the division of the Peabody fund is made according to the plan that was announced several weeks ago, and if a proportionate share according to the negro's population is made to the deserving youth, more than $100,000 will be set aside for the normal, agricultural and mechanical college that is located in this city. It has been found, after some investigation, that the money for the Peabody Normal school, such as has been used from time to time for that school, where only whites attend, should have been divided in proportion to the population wherever the schools were separate, between the negroes and whites, but since there was no distinctly negro school until recently, it is supposed that this accounts for the failure to divide the fund. A despatch recently appeared in the Memphis Schlittar to the effect that an agreement had been reached and that when a division of the fund, which was bequeathed to the "deserving youth of the south," is made so that the proposed Peabody Normal might not encounter any breakers in the future, something over $100,000 would be given to the negroes. The discussion of this Peabody fund continually through the papers has brought to light the notable Slatter fund, which is another evidence of the philanthropic spirit shown by true Americans, who look to the future of the youth of the sunny south. It could not be learned whether the three men of the faculty of the school were giving any attention to these reported rumors concerning the division of the fund, but it was supposed that the superintendent of the state board would look well into the securing of whatever moneys that belonged to the school, all of which could be used to a great advantage in the coming educational effort. With the already one hundred and fifty thousand added to the one hundred thousand or more that would come from the Peabody fund and the few thousand of dollars that is due from the Morill fund, the agricultural, normal and mechanical school for negroes will have over $300,000 to begin its career and to take its place among the educational institutions of Tennessee. This is a sufficient amount to put the young institution at the head of its class in so far as equipment of buildings is concerned. No school in Tennessee will have more backing and there are but few agricultural institutions in the south that have more land already in their possession, and none with a better location than the site already selected. The administration building is by actual measurement on an elevation within ten feet of that occupied by the state capitol. When the buildings are erected, they will, like the capitol of Tennessee, be the only buildings to be seen from every point in Nashville. HOUSEHOLD SNAKES GIBOIAS ARE USED AS DOMESTIC RAT CATCHERS IN BRAZIL. In certain parts of Brazil, where the climate is intensely hot and where rats are a great nuisance, the common cat does not thrive, but is replaced by a domestic rat catcher whose presence causes a decidedly unpleasant sensation to visitors from the north when first they come in contact with the creature. Giboias are a species of small bo constrictor employed very generally in Brazil for the purpose above mentioned. They are not at all venomous. They sleep in the house, generally taking up their position at the foot of the stairs. When nightfall approaches they begin to wake up, and during the night they slide swiftly about the premises, looking for rats. Giboias are offered for sale in the markets of Bahia and Pernambuco for prices ranging $1 to $5, according to the size of the creature. It is said that they are so easily domesticated that if removed from one house to another they invariably return to the house whence they have been taken. Often when one is bargaining with a broker for the sale or lease of a residence in certain parts of Brazil the broker will expatiate with great eloquence upon the virtues and skill of the gibola that goes with it.—Harper's Weekly. ONLY HIS PAST LIFE TAINTED. "But why does your father object to me?" demanded the humble suitor. "Because," explained the haughty beauty of proud lineage, "papa says his ancestors have always been gentlemen of leisure, and you have to work for a living." "Well, tell him I don't expect to after we are married," replied the humble suitor. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. SINGLE COPY AFRO-AMERICAN Some weeks ago a learned clergyman (white) delivered the baccalaureate sermon at the commencement exercises of a negro college. We asked several of those present how they liked it. The majority agreed that it was the greatest sermon they had ever heard. Among them was an untutored critic—a man who is in the habit of looking for the other side. This man argued that if the clergyman were to get up before his own audience and say one third of the good things for the negro that he said to the negro, he would have done ten times more good than he did do. One remark reported to have been made by the clergyman attracted my attention especially. He is reported to have said that according to history the negro has not yet done anything but that under God he is destined to do great things perhaps. Now we have nothing to say about the latter part of this statement—not being an expert in theological prevision. As to the former statement to the effect that the negro has done nothing—why that's another story; and on that proposition we're on solid ground—ground that is enveloped, we confess, in fog and mist is, but the ground is there. It is so common for orators and writers to dwell on the assertion that its correctness has come to their correctness has come to the orators and writers, but by the rogers themselves. Let us see, who think you, the real inventor and founder of the elaborate system of religious worship? If we were to quote from a negro assertion that he (the negro) was the founder, you would probably discount the testimony by about 95 per cent. But suppose we summon a white witness to testify on this point—a witness whose testimony has never been successful impelled! In 1802, a French philosopher published a book called "The Ruins of Empires." In it he recounts his explorations, his travels, his investigations among the ruins of cities and empires that flourished, declined and disappeared a thousand years before the birth of Greece and Rome. The author (Volley) of "The Ruins of Empires" in describing the ancient kingdom of Euripia and the ruins of Thebes, her opulent metropolis, says: "There a people, now forgotten, discovered while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men, now rejected from society for their sable skin and frizzled hair, founded on the study of the law of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe." A statement like the foregoing would naturally draw fire from a thousand hostile critics, and when they found that it could not be disproved, the proper course would be to ignore it, and let it fall into oblivion. That's what happened with reference to the foregoing quotation. For in the publisher's preface we read: "A voluminous note in which standard authorities are cited, seems to prove that this statement is substantially correct, and that we are in reality indebted to the ancient Ethiopians to the fervid imagination of the persecuted and despised negro, for the various religious systems now so highly revered by the different branches of the Semitic and Aryan races. This fact may perhaps solve the question as to the origin of all religions and may even suggest a solution to the secret so long concealed beneath the flat nose, thick lips, and Nero features of the Egyptian Sphinx. It may also confirm the statement of Dioderus, that the Ethiopians conceive themselves as the inventor of divine worship, of festivals, of solemn assemblies, of sacrifices and of every other religious practices. "That an imaginative and superstitious race and founded in the dim obscurity of past ages, a system of religious beliefs that still enthralls the minds and clouds the intellects of the leading representatives of modern theology—that still clings to the thoughes and tinges with potential influence the literature and faith of the civilized and cultured nations of Europe and America, is indeed a strange illumination of the mad caprice of destiny of the insignificant and apparently trivial causes that oft produce the most grave and momentous results." From the foregoing the student of psychology can readily understand why the negro is more enthusiastic about solemn religious doings than is any one else. And the reader who is still in doubt as to the correctness of these statements may consult Draper's "International Development of Europe" and learn that in spite of the rantings of demagogues, the greater part of the civilized world in matters religious, is still under African domination. Ethiopia has already stretched forth her hands, and like the Niobe of Nations they may be empty now, but there was a time when they were filled with blessings for the world. It's all right to say that the negro has done nothing—say it and let it go at that. It sounds well in sermon and speech. But remember there are always some minds that look for the other side—"some blind Sampson feeling in the pillars of authority"—Old Hickory in Dallas Express. Not very long ago President Taft, in a speech, defended the integrity and usefulness of the Jews of this country. His glowing tribute to their worth will ever live in the minds of those who believe that race prejudice is contrary to reason and equity. His speech on this occasion certainly showed that he had the moral courage to speak what he thought. Now, occasion comes for him not to speak, but to act, and when it is brought to his attention that Col. Joseph Garrard, commanding the cavalry post at Fort Meyer, disapproved Private Frank Bloom's effort for promotion because of Bloom's parentage, he immediately directs the secretary of war to investigate the matter. The Colonel's indemnation was Jews were not "desirable social associates." There being no regulation in the army to prevent an officer from expressing his opinion as to the fitness of a candidate to be advanced from the ranks, Colonel Garrard escaped court-martial; but not a stinging rebuke and a warning not to repeat the endorsement. For nearly 6,000 years the Jews have been in the limelight and it may well be said they are God's chosen people. Success seems to attend their pathway, and we never see a Jew drunkard or beggar. They are not inmates of our almshouses and workhouses, but are our most progressive citizens. It is a mistaken idea that the Jews are all merchants; for among the world's list of great soldiers, authors, musicians, painters and philosophers, are many names of persons of this race. In this case the merits of the applicant should have been considered aside from his race, and endorsement made in accord with his service. Our sympathy goes out to the Jew, because "a fellow feeling makes us wonderful kind," and what he has done we can do. So when we add money, character, intelligence and industry to our stock in trade, we will have friends to come to our assistance. That's the way the Jew solved his problem.—Richmond Reformer. During the summer some latitude should be shown servants in all vocations of life, especially those in the menial walks of life. There are some rights that servants have that should be respected. They should be shown some attention and kindness while at work. Reasonable hours should be prescribed for them to work, and the same for pleasure and recreation. Domestic servants in many instances are diminishing because of the painfully long hours they have to work and the poor salary attached. Reports are often heard from all parts of the country of the scarcity of unskilled labor, due largely to the fact that such labor is overworked. The housekeepers should be more lenient with their servants by giving them a reasonable amount of time for recreation and pleasure, and above all to treat them with kindness—Illinois Chronicle. Thus far, there have been seven colored ministers to Haiti, namely: Rev. E. D. Bassett of Pennsylvania; John M. Langston of Virginia; John E. W. Thompson of New York; Frederick Douglass of New York and the District of Columbia; John S. Durham of Pennsylvania; W. F. Powell of New Jersey, and Henry W. Furniss of Indiana. George W. Williams of Ohio was nominated several years ago for the place, but failed of confirmation. During Cleveland's second term, Henry S. Smythe, a white man, served as minister to Haiti. All have been men of high character, brilliant attainments and impressive personality. A careful estimate indicates that since the foundation of Tuskegee institute, two years of training have been given to approximately 9,000 persons. The average length of time that these 9,000 persons have been out is fourteen years, during which time their estimated earnings have been $88,200,000. If they had not received an industrial training, they would have earned during the fourteen years only $12,600,000. That is, by receiving an industrial training, they have been able to earn $75,600,000 more than they would have earned had they not received this training. —Southern Letter. The negro press of the country has lost one of its ablest exponents in the death of Editor William Bearden, managing editor of the Galveston New Idea, which occurred at the family home in Galveston, Tex. Editor Bearden was a vigorous and entertaining writer, an able and fearless advocate, and one of the most highly esteemed and courageous members that the negro race has had in a generation. Peace to his ashes. Whether on land or sea or in thin air, the colored man and brother in comparison with his fellows of whatever race or clime has long ago decided to make a showing. In this connection it is right in place to announce that Henry Flanagan, 315 Mayflower street, Fort Worth, Tex., has invented an airship which in many respects outclasses all previous efforts at the sport of traveling on the wings of the wind.—Western Star. 2 a cere “PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) Ome Year... .cceee eee eee es 8180 Bix Montha......c.sccscscss. 1.00 ‘Three Monthe............... 50 Bubscribers are requested te re mit by posteffice money on der or registered retter.

Just as soon as “Jack” Johnson signed the papers this week, on July 4, for that fight in Ireland, the “sour grapes”, prejudiced American cor- Tespondents and newspapers began again to harp upon his “many weak points.” Now, it is principally his “high-living stomach”, and his “being ‘out of condition”, etc., etc., that seem to afford them so much satisfaction as they tilt back their chairs and smilingly contemplate “Jack's” prob able defeat by the Irish pugilist, Pat- rick Curran, in Dublin, Ireland, in the near future! They have thrust aside (or the time only, however) all re membrance of how they did the same fool-thing, one year ago prior to this July 4, and what an awful awaken- ing there was for them on July 4, 1910, after they had similarly in- dulged their self-jolhes (and silly pre- fudices) over another Irish pugilist, James J.

Every colored man nowadays is a supporter of race enterprise—with his mouth. We have right here in this city Negro professional and trades- men, keepers of shops, wares, etc., men’ playing at the game of business in a, small way, and who in large measure must depend upon their own race for support, who never think of thelr duty to colored enterprises while they have money. If perchance their money gives out and they can secure something on credit from their brother in black, all well; otherwise nothing doing. ‘This element. of the colored race needs to be pitied rather than abused, for notwithstanding many of them can read and write, they are fools and do not know It. Let us learn a lesson from the lower order of creation. Even the insects and the birds of passage have more Sense than the average American Ne- gro. Get together, not in strife, prej- udice nor unlawfulness, but along broad lines, The damnable race prej- udice which you are called on to face and live down demands that you have an understanding, if you would accomplish anything.

Although Mr. Baum brought the dog fo St, Paul in the express car of a fast Ilmited train and offered him all kinds of inducements and delice. les not to be had in a small town, Dewey was not happy. He ran away and appeared unex: pected at bis old home, Wagging bis short tail furiously, he scratched and whined for admittance. ‘The 140 miles he had tramped had made him footsore and weary.

Schwartz, wife of the "confectionaire" whose advertisement will be found on page two, returned on Tuesday from Garrettsville, where she and her children visited friends since last Saturday. Two of the children remained for the summer vacation. Mrs. Schwartz's genial countenance was missed from the store by many patrons, who gun to fear that possibly she had developed. Mr. Schwartz's face kept getting longer and longer, from Saturday, until Tuesday he claimed to be ill, but it was only for a day, as on Wednesday he was all smiles, again. The madam had returned.

Harrison, R. A. Wilson and Mrs. C. E. Webster. The pastor has certainly been a success thus far and The Gazette congratulates Dr. Webster. The Christian leader and his congregation is fortunate in having secured him.

The Law and Order Reform League will hold a public meeting at Mt. Zoon church, near Central Ave., on E. 31st St., Monday evening, to which all persons who live in that section of the city, are invited particularly. It is hoped to inaugurate movements at this meeting that will materially improve that section of the city, at least along moral lines. The Lord knows such a movement is sally needed from Gary J. Smith, editor of The Guerta, will be the principal speaker. All who wish to attend the meeting will be welcomed by the League's committee on reception. Tell your friends, and come yourself. An interesting program has been arranged for the evening. Mary E., the accomplished young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Stewart, of 1341 E. 120th St., was married to Charles S. Valentine last Thursday evening. Miss Edith Middleton played the wedding march. The bride, beautiful and capturing a bunch of white roses, came in leanning on her father's arm. Miss Birdie Hughes was bridesmaid; Mr. Guy Stewart, the only brother of the bride, was best man, Mrs. Valentine was the recipient of many valuable and useful presents. Quite an elaborate dinner was served. Mr. Valentine has been employed at the Jefferson Bachelor apartment, where she and her couple left on a two weeks' tour with the blessings of a host of friends and acquaintances. The mention of County Prosecutor John A. Cline as a Republican candidate for the Mayoral nomination, this fall, recalls the fact that he promised our voters of this city, representation in the office of County Prosecutor, if nominated and elected to that office. The fact that Alexander H.

The American Republican in this city. Our vote in this city numbers four thousand—a conservative estimate. Mrs. L. S. Jones' entertainment of the Hiawata, I. B. C. and Fortnightly clubs, last Thursday evening, proved an unqualified success. There were more than 40 members of the three organizations present. Revs. B. W. Paxton and W. V. Clark made excellent talks and gave the group greatly in their charitable work. The editor of The Gazette, who was also to speak, was unavoidably prevented from being present. The Fortnightly club, of which Mrs. Maud Whiting is president, and Mrs. L. S. Jones, secretary, is raising as large a sum as possible to present by Thanksgiving to the Associated Charities, which does so much for our needy people, and should receive a plastic support. We, as a race, institution for organizations and institutions that help us that it is high time more of our people were taking greater interest in such movements as the Fortnightly club and a few of our other organizations have inaugurated in recent years.

SATURDAY JULY 8, 1911 A Vigilance, Committee of Prominent Men of Discrimination Organized Races New York City.—What promises to be the biggest and most effective fight on the color line ever begun, was started here recently when leading Colored men of all parties and persuasions gathered with the most prominent local white friends of our people, and planned war till the death on discrimination in places of public accommodation and by public officials. The New York Vigilance Committee races to enforce the law guaranteeing equal rights to all people and to afford immediate relief in cases of outrage and discrimination. Prof J. E.

The association has divided Greater New York into districts and its purpose is to have a representative in each district who will immediately report any cases of outrage treatment and race discrimination. Such individual cases will be investigated, adequate remedies applied and every effort provided to secure the of the Colored man's rights. The prosecution of the law to him as a citizen. Two cases have already been taken up—one, discrimination against Gilchrist Stewart in a restaurant, and the other—the brutal shooting of an Afro-American by a policeman. GUESTS OF HOTEL DALE.

Walters at the Buckingham palace state balls are debarred from "reversing." German court regulations go even further, and forbid waltzing altogether. This veto dates back to 1859, when Empress Frederick, then crown princess, was tripped up by her partner in a waltz, and fell at the feet of her mother-in-law. Empress Augusta, a despot on the score of etiquette, forbade the inclusion of waltzes thenceforth in all balls at the New palace. So far the kaiser has resisted the pressure brought to bear on him to revive the waltz. Dancing at the Berlin court always opens with a polonaise, and the rest of the program is filled with quadrilles and polaks, the schottisches and the mazurkas. Corea Flooding Hair Market Corea Flooding Hair Market. Rats, switches, puffs and human hair structures are coming down in price. These are about the only thing in the market that show a tendency to decrease. The cause is a political one, the annexation of Korea by Japan. Since the Coreans have become a part of the Japanese empire they have been cutting off their "top-knots." Barbers on the peninsula have been kept remarkably busy and tons and tons of hair have been put on the market. The greater part of hair used in puffs and rats comes from the far east. There is getting to be a regular glut of hair on the market. The result may be that the women will pile more of the false variety on their head, thus keeping the price up, but dealers along Fifth avenue promise that Cars and artificial switches shall be cheaper.

LOUIS, MO. ed at the Brewery Case of NEGRO CHURCH LIFE 4 America finds its highest expression in the church life of these people. The social philosopher who would make @ careful study of them should by all means have accurate knowledge of their religious organizations, and of that tnner life of the same which fur- Aishes a true perspective through which the better and, therefore, the average negro may be seen. Apart from the state, the church fs the largest organization with which they have to do, {t 1s the one great soelal power affecting their conduct— and because of its very character St calls forth the best elements in their nature, If, therefore, we consider its fnfiuence upon them from the social point of view, we will be fully repaid; for it-seems beyond question that the church hag done more to eivilize the African than‘any other single egency. ‘Through {t the life of the negro peo: ple finds, its most complete expres. sion; in it, that life receives, form and irection; under fts care the moral and social are developed and refined, and to It society owes much for what has been accomplished. “There are three types of | worship which. belong to three distinct pe- riods, though, in many cases, the old- er type has a strange persisience in being and continues as a reminder of other days. This persistence of types furnishes data for strong. gen- eralizations the truth of which we are inclined to accept because thelr bases are ever before us—the diverse forms of worship witnessed all about us where the negro has his churches, If the student of economic progress de Sires to place khe results of his inves- tigations beyond serious question, he makes a careful study of modern {n dustrial life and especially of modern machinery in action. Information ‘ob- tained at second hand would be unsat- Istactory, for he knows that original investigations made according to sci entific methods now in use would alone Femove many fatal objections, This selentific spirit must be obeyed if any satisfactory study. of the social life of the colored people 1s to be made. For the sake of clearness we may treat the three types of worship as represented by three periods, well de- fined, in the chureh life of the Amer. ‘can negro: 1. ‘The period prior to 1865. 2 ‘The transition period, 1865-1890, or thereabouts. 8, The period of Improvement and adjustment to modern conditions, 1890 to the present, We are now able to comply fully ‘with the sclentiffe method in our study ot the earlier period and of the first 25 years of the second period, for It was during the beginning ot the sec ond period that the writer was born. By extensive reading and by conver sation with men and women of both races and of various grades of intel: Ugence, some knowledge*ot conditions ths boon obtatned The first period dates trom the in: troduction of negro slavery and con: tines about 245 years, During these years the Christian slave holders of tie woutherh states were the princl pal missionaries to the African heath en brought to thelr doors by @ fortu stous course of events, They did much to enlighten those durk and benight ed beings fresh from a life of sav agery and social degradation of the Worst type. Perhaps due ‘credit has never beer given to the old-time southern people for the great service they rendered tc civilization by the instruction of these humble people in the ruder arts of 2 better life, Many must have been the saerlfices made In order to teach these untutored beings, these children o the forests and wilds of Africa, The thoughtful descendants of these early blacks will not forget this great and Christtke service. Not only dtc this humble rervice affect the reliz fous life of the southern people as 1 whole, but the entire soclal organiza tion Was slowly modified by It as a step preliminary to something bet ter. Whatever evil might have been as sociated with the earlier Americar life was due largely to conditions: in separable from the social fentures in volved; and it seems wiser to study the circumstances of those days and to learn the valuable lessons they have to teach than to spend thme tn eriticising unkindly a transitory ‘type of ofvilization so far removed trom Sur own as to make ft difficult for us to give it full justice. We must not forget that the task of cfvillzing men 4s not an easy one, and that those early Americans did a grand and noble service in winning thousands of men from the densest heathenism. As the slaves bad not forgotten the fetichism of thelr native tend, it was natural for them (o mingle some of their crude forms with the new sys- tem of worship observed In the Chris tian church in America, Most of the heathen forms of worship were gro tesque, as one might expect, but were held firmly by the slaves, as some thing sacred. In spite of the care ‘and watchfulness exercised over them by some of their owners, the slaves oc- casionally observed some of their na- live rites. Even todey there are found some traces of these anclent African forms of worship, especially in the lowest order of negro churches. Jn parts of South Carolina it is com. mon for men and women In thelr re ligfous services to join hands and Shout and jump around their fellows until their physical strength fails NOT TO BE DENIED “Mamma, mayn't I go to the fancy dress bell as a milkmaid?” “You are too small.” “Well, can't I be a condensed milk maid?” + AND STILL LEARNING Gassaway—There’s one thing about ‘me, | always learn from my mistakes.” Gerland—What a fund of, Informa. tata. 924 some country sections only and ts pe- eullar to the most {gnorant. ‘This is a survival of reder forms of mingled heathen and Christian worship of oth- ‘er days, and to this fact it seems that too little attention has been given by some writers in treating superstition among southern negroes. ‘The stran- Kest forms of worship now rapidly passing away have, in common, some- thing of the African heathen and the American Christian. ‘This worship, though crude, desultory and in many cases Ineffecilve, had Its power over the social life of the negro, and form- ed a basis for Instructing him in the better way. During the second period, 1865-1890, the colored preacher arose. During the former period the negroes attended tho churches of thelr owners, and oc- cupied, asa rule. seats in the gallery or elsewhere especially set apart for them, They thus enjoyed the mints: trations of educated clergymen at a time when this was exceedingly de- sirable. At the downfall of the insti- tution of slavery in 1865, when the hegroes left these ministratlons for ‘one or another reason, there was, for a time, a retrogression in their forms of worship, and in some of their Ideals. ‘This was to be expected, for they had perhaps less than 50 moder- ately welltrained men {o minister to the spiritual needs of more” than 4,000,000 of human beings—a mighty host! About 1867, the various mission: ary societies began the work of edu- cating preachers and teachers for these people—to this end schools were established at important centers, and, by 1875, @ number of men of very moderate training entered the negro pulplts. During the next decade a great change was wrought in the ehurch life of the people; superstition degan to lose some of Its power, fine church houses (too expensive in many cases) were erected and the member- | ship largely increased. In the midst of much that one regrets and deplores there is the excess of good over evil | Since 1865 many improvements have been made and for a quarter of a cen: tury (1865-1890) the church has led in the development of a higher social ideal which 1s wielding great power in transforming the life of the colored people. Herein there is a great force making for industry, order and. law. To these people the welfare of the home, the community, the state, the entire country, is a matter of con- cern and interest. The spirit of altru ism 1s not unknown and the interest in mankind fs real, Whatever progress the negro has made 1s due, in a large measure, to the power exerted over him by ‘the Christian church, Since the advent of the colored preacher, though with lim |ited training, the race has gained in || woalth and intelligence, and to these leaders 1s due great honor and credit || for what has been accomplished.

Few men, perhaps, will be inclined to question the value of the church ‘as & social power when they reflect upon present conditions in the light of the past, Many organizations which minister to the aesthetic and intel- lectual life of progressive white men are unknown to the masses of the black men of the south, hence the churches and benevolent organiza tions must serve many purposes, and minister to the entire spivisial nature, ‘The large attendance of negro chil: aren at public schools, south, 1s an- other result. ‘The trained loader urges Industry, thrift, economy, edu- cation and righteousness upon the peo- ple, and in this way the Influence of the church upon negro life has been A matter of great importance, ‘Through ft he has been Introduced to some phases of American life and modern civilization, and if a wise conserva- tism shall avold the threatened error of exalting the industrial typé of ed- sucation unduly at the expense of that equally important type of education under which the present economic and social status has been attained; If the making of the mere breadwinner shall not be prized above the development of men who will earn bread; if the mere human machine shall not be Idolized to the utter neglect of the trained man with all the powers of In- Itlative eet free, we may expect even greater results through that higher type of life which ts being slowly but surely developed in the negro churches. ‘A more extended study of the pres- ent economic position of the negroes, together with their possessions in real ‘and personal property would be very Instructive; indeed, it would show that the work of training leaders for these people was very opportune.

It has done much to make the negro more economical, thrifty. humane and altruistic, and it is a mat. ter of common observation that the social life of the churchgoers among these people is far above that of thelr unfortunate fellows all about us. ‘These facts will appeal to the consid- erate judgment of philanthrople men for sympathy and support in the train- ing of black men for leadership: tn the “College-Bred Negro,” a publics- tlon of the Atlanta university, 1900, Dr. DuBols shows that the negro edu- cated in the higher institutions of learning, north and south, 1s a pro- gressive and Industrious member of soclety, and that these men are, in nearly every case, found working for the elevation of their fellows through- out the southern’ states. ‘They are the advocates of peace, order and good will to all men. It ts the poorly tratn- ed men who are rash and dangerous fs leaders of a vast maltitude of un- Feached people. If a wise philanthropy shall see to it that @ better clase of leaders shall be supplied to meet the pressing needs of the millions of blacks who, decause of thelr great poverty, cannot supply them themselves; if wise and conservative men and women will only see to It that higher and Indus- trlal education is wisely provided to the end that the church may enjoy the ministrations of broad-minded men, the social and economic life of the blacks will be constantly tm- proved through the far-reaching inti fice of the negro church.

Life would be more livable if more of us felt it a duty to be pleasant however things might go. ‘An old woman once told a girl with a Puritan conselence: “Stop worrying So much about the right and wrong of things and keep smiling, and you will make this world a better place.” ‘The girl who learns to keep smiling when she would much rather weep or storm bas gained a victory over her self beyond penance and fasting. Be pleasant first from a sense of duty, and it will soon become a habit. If sulkiness, deceit, ill temper, nagging can get a grip on your character, why not pleasant ways? If you cultivate a pleasant manner from no other reason, do so through self-interest. ‘The girl who ts agree- able never moans over the world’s treatment.

In these and the following verses the speaker is reviewing what had al- ready taken place, Such unparalleled behavior stirs the thought of the spec- tators and they see that they are guilty. Who hath believed our report? —"That which we have heard.” The question implies that no one had re- celved the message; {t fell on deat ears. The arm of the Lord is a figure of speech which means his activities in the world. ‘The works of God, es- pecially through his Servant, were per- formed before blind eyes. “They had no spiritual insight and so they re- garded him as having no form of come- Mness—The sufferer was’ without at- traction. He was despised and re Jected of! men—It wajkeven worse; his appearance was posively repulsive, and he was severely Tet alone and for. saken (Matt, 26:56). The treatment which he received was marked by thoughtlesness; and this is another form of selfishness. They judged from mere appearances and were therefore mistaken, They did not even trouble to look into itis case, but covered their face so as not to see him, Verses 4-6; The Passion of the Servant, ‘The popular view of suffering Is here condemned.

The servant wae Indeed smitten of God and afficted, but thie humbling experfence was not on account of his own sins; it was their grlefs and pains that he bore (L Pet, 2:24). He was wounded for Our tranagresslons—“He was _plerced for crimes that were ours.” He was brutsed for our inlquitics—“He was crushed for gullt that was ours.” So then be was the substitute, and he was also acceptable to God. ‘The chas- tisement of our peace—The discipline of pain and punishment which brought them peace was experienced by him, Not only did he endure this bitter hardship on their behalf, but he also thereby wrought and brought redemp- on to them. Like sheep they had foolishly gone astray, moved — by Selfish impulses, and had got into trouble. Every one to his own way— Sin {s a fearful destroyer of unity and harmony. The guilt of us all Jehovah hath laid on him—"Made to light upon him.” Verses 7-9: The Humiliation of the Servant. ‘A remarkable fact was the sinless. ness of him who submitted to cruel in Justice, yet he opened not his mouth— “Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again.” (1, Pet. 2:23). “He was ‘taken from prison and from Judgment —"By tyranny and law that was tyracny, a judicial rime” (G. A. Smith). To all appearances his case was considered according to law, but At was the merest form, for they wrest ‘ed justice In condemning him. This has been a familiar experience with the prophets of God in all ages (Jer. 87). But the most signal illustration, and one to which we naturally turn, is that of Jesus at the trials before Cajaphas and Pilate, the religious and civ authorities of the day, "Who shall declare his generation?—The Revision ‘makes this entire passage clear; It ‘means that his contemporaries failed ‘to understand that the stroke which fell on him should really have lighted —Even his burial was disgraceful. ‘The thought is repeated in the next clause, and the rich In his death—Bet ter translate, “yea, with the felon his tomb.” This was not true of Jesus who wag lald away in the sepulchre owned by Joseph of Arimathea. But we mut moj try to Saterpret this prophecy Urérally, as though it were history written before the event. Verses 10-12: ‘The exaltation of the Servant, Many of the allusions {n this section are diMcult to understand because we do not have all the facts, This is also true of the previous sections. But the general thought is clear, espe- clally as we read it in the light of the New Testament. He. shall see his seed—Those who shall be won by spir tual life and Uberty, because he was made a guilt offering. The trevall of his soul—The pain and privation of his life produced results which have satisfled him.

STOCKINGS Little folk’s stockings wear out at a marvelous rate, but few mothers realize that washing has a great deal todo with it, They should, first of all, be well shaken in order to remove any dust, and then soaked for fifteen minutes in a lather of warm water and soap, to which a little ammonia has been added. * Next make a fresh lather of soap and water, and squeeze the stock. ings in this, Rinse in two lots of warm water, dry, and press with a moderately hot iron before they are quite dry. SACRIFICING THE WOMAN. ‘That Carlyle could contemplate with equanimity’ being unpraised, unmon- eyed and neglected all his life, that he required neither the world’s pud- ding nor its breath and could be hap- py without them, was pardonable and perhaps commendable. That he should expect another person to share this unmoneyed, puddingless and rather forlorn condition was scarcely consis- tent with suck lofty principles. Men may sacrifice themselves, if they please, to imagined high duties and ‘ambitions, but they have no right to marry wives and sacrifice them —Bx- change. REMOVABLE COAT LININGS.

He wants to love God, and tries to love him, but he dogs not love him. His remissness presses him sorely: Will God own him as his child? Will God accept anyone, no matter how faithful his servico, who does not feel the burning, enthusiastic love the Bible seems to command? But how can we love\God? We have never seen him, and fhe abstract stiute- ‘ments that form out only description of him are inadequate to be a basis for the freagination to build on. Even when we conjure up in our minds a picture of the almighty creator of heaven and earth we are guilty of mental idolatry. The command to ‘make no image or likeness of God was given for the very reason that our ig- norance causes our best endeavor to be only a base caricature. God is 50 far above our thoughts, as well as our sight, that any conception of his personality, though it be the sublim- est vision ever dreamed by prophet. poet or philosopher, fails so infinitely short of the reality as to be almost fan insult to omipotent greatness. Hence the Father sent the Son into the world to become a man. We are able to know Jesus and to love him. ‘We can grasp his personality, think intelligently about him and bring him before our mind’s eye as a real, tan- gible man capable of inspiring love. Certainly all Christians do not love Jesus in near, personal fashion; but such love 1s eritirely possible, and the reason that some do not so love him Js that their imagination Js not vivid enough to put life and reality into his picture as painted in the Gospel. But the Bible tells us to love the Father also; yet if much fa sald about our duty of loving God, far more 1s sald about God's love for us. The Bible ig full of it. It ts the burden of the whole Yook. ‘The Bible would never have been written except that God loved us. His love it the excuse for the Bible, the reason for It, and the Justification of it. We must love God in return; yet as there are two kinds of love, we can love him in one way, even though we cannot love him in the other way. The two kinds of love are active love and passive love. Love ts a. reciprocal feeling; and of every two human loy- ‘ers, be they parent and child, husband and wife, or friend and friend, one of ‘them loves actively and gives, while the other loves passively and recelves —rejoicing not so much in loving as in being loved. The parent loves the child with an active, self-sacrificing love, The dutiful child professes to love the parent; but the child's love is passive—the child receives; It trusts and dependy on the parent. Since God is our Father, it is natural that he should have for us the father love, while our love for him should not be parental, but child love—the love of a trusting child that depends fon its father and obeys him and re- spects his will and loves to He back ing the great encircling arms of bis en- folding love. God's love is active, and our love should be passive, answering back to his love, corresponding to it, fitting Into it, but not like it, because it 1s against reason that the child should love with the same sort of love as the Father. Our love snould correspond to God's love as a ball fits into the socket, or as a lock answers to itd own Key, or as a knife goes with a fork, or a cup with a saucer. The Father gives graciously; the child should receive gratefully. 1 do not, 1 can not, love God just as he loves me; but when I am glad to know that he loves me, all un- worthy as I am; when I rejoice to think of bis care for me, bis unduti- ful child; when I trust his providence to supply my needs; when I am en- Urely willing to submit myself to his unerring eye to choose my path and to guide my feet; when I still believe with unfaltering faith even though I do not clearly understand his plans for my life; when the thought of bis care and his wisdom and his strength and his goodsless brings comfort to my heart—why, then I am loving God. 1 am resting in his love as a child cuddles up in the lap of its mother. I am experiencing the emotion that, one-half the times we use the word, we call love—I am loving God. Cer- tainly, I cannot say “Yea, I have loved thee with an everiasting love, there- fore with loving kindness have 1 drawn thee.” That expresses active love, and only God can say it. But I'can say this: “I will love thee, 0 Lord, my strength. The Lord is my stony rock and my defense; my say- four, my God and my might, In whom Iwill trust; my buckler, the horn also of my salvation and my refuge.” The love that we feel for God ts a responsive love, not an original love; but the answer to bis love, the re sponse of our hearts to his heart. Thus St. John says: “We love him be- cause he first loved ua;" and again, “Herein is love; not that we loved God (not actively, that ts), but that he loved us.” And when the text says “Keep yourselves in the love of God" it does not mean keep on loving God, but keep on believing and rejotcing that God loves you; keep on resting PESSIMISM “The time is coming when an honest man will not be able to succeed in business in this country.” “What do you call suoceeding in business?” ‘Why—er—keeping a high tari on the things you are producing.” INVOLUNTARY ASSENT “Don't you think in & case like this, it fs better to suspend judgment?” “Ob, hang It!"
