IN UNION THERE IS STRONGTH TWENTY-NINTH Fireman' TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 10. 6 Photograph by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. THERE is something delicately incongruous in a midden whose mission it is to ignite the flame of love, wearing a fireman's helmet of durity hue and material. practically any case seen by the picture back and front and sides so as to allow A. white goo net of dainty like a mineral. This "helmet," which has reached these shores by way of Paris, is bound to become a prime favorite, not only by reason of its chicness but also because it is so entirely adaptable to Well-Dressed Women Realize the Possibilities of This Most Charming Garment. The Irish lace blouse, simply fashioned to show the beautiful pattern of the lace, is a great favorite still with well dressed women, and there is every indication that the summer vogue of real lace will be carried far into the coming season. Many of the newest evening gowns are elaborately flounced with lace. At the moment one of the most fashionable laces is chantilly, which has endless possibilities as a velling. A very favorite combination is black and white, and the smart afternoon frock and evening toilet is carried out in white charmure or crepe, veiled with fine black chantilly. Sometimes the tunic is of chantilly, and instead of clinging to the tight-fitting skirt of yesterday this lace tunic meets a frock of valenciennes frills or a deep flounce of chantilly. Irish point de venise and filet are used for flat trimmings, and some very charming effects are produced in finely darned fillet. GIRL'S FROCK OF BATISTE 3 This dainty frock for a girl from fourteen to seventeen years old is of white dotted batiste, trimmed with narrow ruffles of the material and baby Irish insertion. The girdle, prettily knotted at the side, is of liberty. The dress is made up over taffeta or some imitation silk. A New Model. Among new models might be mentioned the draped cutaway, and one which fastens high over the bust at the left side, with both edges curved to a rounded point at the center back, then faced all the way on the outside with self-material. THE GAZETTE practically any caffure. As will be seen by the picture, it has a deep dip back and front and is shallow at the sides so as to allow of the hair showing. A white cockade worn at the right side gives the necessary height effect. The crown is of lattice work braid. The hat may be worn at any slope that suits the face contour of its owner. Present Style Lends itself to Those Afflicted—Much May Be Done in Infancy. The girl with an ugly ear should rejoice in the present style of coifure for it is easy to disguise her defect Hair is draped low on the sides, but unless you wish to be thought earnest or deformed, do not draw your hair too low. A noted French beauty specialist has said that a woman adds much to her charm by half concealing her ears, and few Frenchwomen would draw the hair straight up from the ears in the fashion that Americans adopt. The same authority states that every woman who would look young should put a daub of rouge on the lobe of the ear and should be careful not to wear earrings if they harder the lines of the face or make it appear broader. If one has an ugly ear or an ugly hand it is better unadorned, though sometimes a distorted or badly shaped lobe is half concealed by circular ear rings. The present day hat is friendly to the ugly ear, as one can tuck bunches of flowers, rosettes or lace frills under the brim. It is easy to adjust velvet streamers so they fall over the ears. If ears are badly shaped little car be done to remedy them—art is the sole hope; but if they stand out, some of the muscles may be cut. This should never be done 'save by a surgeon, and one who is a specialist. Mothers have much to answer for in permitting outstanding ears on children. It is carelessness or ignorance not to use ear straps during the formal period. There are several good varieties sold. Babies should not acquire the habit of playing with the lobe of the ear or of sleeping with it twisted under, as harm can be done to the best shaped organ in this way. The flaming ear is trying and, it not caused by digestive or blood troubles, the colorfulness should be blotted out by powder. For Good Dressers. In the matter of being well dressed it must be remembered that the whole effect can be ruined by the amount and kind of jewelry worn. It must be of the right kind and chosen with an eye to the general effect. For instance, with a tailored suit the greatest simplicity should be maintained, any jewelry worn merely carrying out the idea of severe taller made. Rings of heavy masculine type only, practical pins, pearls if any necklace is worn. On the other hand, the intensely feminine effect is heightened if with a drooping hat, fingerlace or fancy slippers are added a dainty necklace, frivolous chain, pendant earrings and purely feminine rings. With an evening dress anything becoming is allowable. To Keep on Pumps. Fasten a small piece of elastic two inches long across the heel inside. Attach the ends only. When the pump is drawn on, the elastic stretches over the ball of the heel and prevents its slipping off. Fasten other pieces of elastic on either side of the instep, so as to be stretched when pump is on. This prevents it gapping at the sides - Woman's National Weekly.

WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THEM AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK IS PROBLEM OF THE FUTURE. Ancon. Canal Zone.—The West Indian Negro has an important part in the building of the Panama canal. Nothwithstanding his shortcomings, he has furnished the bulk of the unskilled labor that has made the success of the undertaking a certainty, and he is entitled to his full meed of praise. In the beginning the West Indian Negro had a bad reputation. It was said that he lacked physical strength, that he had little or no pluck, that he was absolutely unreliable, and that the canal never could be finished if he was expected to supply the greater part of the labor. But he has lived down his bad reputation in large part, and although it must be admitted that he is shiftless, inconstant and exasperating, he has developed into a good workman and has played a big part in the success of the canal project. The government pays the West Indian laborer on the canal ninety cents a day, furnishes him with free lodgings in quarters and sells him three square meals a day for ten cents each, a total of thirty cents a day for the actual expenses of living. On the balance of sixty cents a day the West Indian Negro can get rich, as compared with his opportunities at home. But the free sanitary quarters, and the necessarily strict discipline maintained therein, did not please him. He sighed for his thatched but in the "bush," for his wife and his chickens, for the freedom of the tropic world. At first the canal commission was inclined to resist the West Indian's entreaties. The authorities believed that no ill-fed workman could do as much work as a well-fed one, and no "bush" dweller ever was known to be well fed. But it was demonstrated that the Negro in the sanitary quarters succumbed to home-sickness and threw up his job. Then the commission reached the conclusion that a stable force would be more easily obtained by permitting the workmen to live in their own way. Permission was given, and many of the laborers exchanged the sanitary restrictions of the commission quarters for the dolce far niente of the "bush." Marriage bonds are loose in the West Indies, and it might be saying too much to say that laborers brought their wives to the Canal Zone, but nevertheless they did build thatched huts all along the sides of the canal and establish their families therein and their broods of poultry there-abouts. The result of this experiment in larger liberty was in part a success and in part a failure. The list of names on the roll of workers was greatly lengthened, but there was no great addition to the force of men at work on any one day. It is a common saying on the isthmus that if he were paid twice as much, a West Indian would work only as long. The average Negro works about four days a week and enjoys himself the other three. It may be that the "bush" dweller is not fed as scientifically as the quarters man who gets three meals of about the same weight as the standard United States army field rattons, but he has his chickens, his truck patch, his family and his fiddle, and he makes up in enjoyment what he loses in science. The authorites have been able to note little difference in the working efficiency of the "bush" men and the "furnished quarters" men, except that those Negroes who are actually contented in quarters work a greater number of days in the month. When the Americans first began work here it was an accepted dictum that one Spaniard or Italian could do as much work as three Negroes. But the Negro has proved this to be libel, and if he only could be persuaded to stick to the job six days a week might be quite as efficient as the European. But nothing can induce him to work all the time. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Some of the Negroes are industrious, constant and thrifty. They save all they can, work steadily for a year or two, and then go back to Jamala or Barbadoes to invest their money in a bit of land and become the Vanderbilt or Astor of their respective communities. In the economic and social environment of their native islands a hundred dollars in gold is as much wealth as is a hundred thousand dollars in the United States. The West Indian laborers at first were obtained by recruiting agents at work in the various islands, principally Barbadoes and Jamaica. Of the thirty thousand Negroes brought to the Canal Zone by the recruiting service, twenty thousand came from Barbadoes, not quite the remainder from other island of the Caribbean. Yet the proportion of Jamaicans at work on the canal is much greater than is indicated by the figures. In fact, the inducement of high wages and the low cost of steerage passage from Jamala to the Canal Zone has attracted so many thousands of Jamaians that the Canal Commission now is justified in withdrawing its recruit ing officers. The excess of arrivals over departures to the zone last year was 21,000, and a very large percentage of them were from Jamaica. The problem of labor supply has been solved in a natural way. There is little or no friction between the whites and blacks on the Canal Zone. This immunity from racial clashes results from two causes—the incomparable courtesy of the West Indian Negro and his full knowledge of his rights, especially if he be a subject of King George. These West Indian Negroes have been reared with a full consciousness of the possession of every right of a British subject, except the purely political privileges. The trouble-making politician has thus been eliminated from the equation in which he is such an important actor in the United States. But the Jamaican and the Barbarian Negroes know their rights and insist upon them. They are "British subjects," and their appeals to his majesty's consul suffer no prejudice because of the color of their skins. This fact alone, however, would not keep down trouble if the Negroes were offensive. But, as a matter of fact they are anything else. Practically every one of them, man or woman, is the very pink of politeness. Ask one a question and the answer will be, "Oh, yes, sir," or "Oh, no, sir," or if he has to understand, "Beg pardon sir." He would no more omit the honorific than would a Japanese maiden, addressing her father, forget to call him "honorable." The visitor to the canal finds the West. Indians extremely interesting. About the railway stations, the post offices and other public places they may be studied at close range, and the study is well worth while. Without exception they are adepts in carrying things on their heads, and consequently they all have an erect carriage and noble bearing that is the very antithesis of the slouchy and slovenly suffle of the American cotton field Negro. It is said that the first ambition of a West Indian Negro child is to learn to carry things on its head, in imitation of its parents. Frequently a Negro will be seen with nothing in either hand carrying an umbrella balanced horizontally on his head! Once in a while one may be seen to get a letter from the post office, place it on top of his head, weight it down with a stone and march off with it, without any apparent knowledge that he is executing a circus stunt. The West Indies are at their best on the first holiday after pay day. They all turn out in their best and brightest clothes with the sole and express purpose of enjoying life. Singing is the principal amusement, and these Negroes know how to sing. And then there is the railroad. The Negro travels for the sake of traveling, and on a holiday one might think that every island in the Caribbean had turned out its entire population for a train ride. The Panama railroad finds its equipment taxed to the utmost on such occasions, as many as 1,200 "joy riders" crowding into a single train. Nearly every West Indian Negro here has a primary education, is acquainted with the rudiments of the three Rss, and proud of his learning. But it usually stops there, and only the exceptional man has an ambition that will take him above his thatched but, his irregular family and his chickens. There are now about 40,000 West Indian Negroes on the Canal Zone. What will become of them when the work is done no one may predict. When the French failed thousands of Negroes we left here stranded, and their governments were forced to convey them back home. It is possible that this will happen again, although conditions never again can be as bad as they were then. But, come what may, the Negro has had his full share in the construction of the canal. He has been well paid in money, and he deserves also to be remembered in the gratitude of the great American republic. MOTHER OF 27 CHILDREN MRS. LAURA KIRBY, 68 YEARS OLD, NOW A WIDOW, BECAME A BRIDE WHEN FIFTEEN YEARS OLD—DESPIE AGE SHE TAKES IN WASHING AND IS QUITE ACTIVE. Wilmington, Del—Mrs. Laura Kirby, colored, age 58 years, 1104 Walnut street, is the mother of 27 children. No other mother in Wilmington can lay claim to such a record. Of her 27 children nine, four girls and five boys, are living. Only one, James Kirby, is now in this city. He is her first son, her first daughter being a twin sister to James. This mother of many children was a slave in the home of John Davis, at Centerville, Md. Just after the war, when she was 15 years of age, she was married to Louis Kirby. Mrs. Kirby's first children were twins. They are both living. She gave birth to three more sets of twins, and then her children came singly, one each year, until there were twenty-seven in all. The mother of Mrs. Kirby was also the mother of many children, there being twenty-two girls and one boy in her family. Mrs. Kirby's sister, Francis Stewart, who has been married for sixteen years, has never had a child. Although a large woman and a mother of twenty-seven children, Mrs. Kirby is a very active woman. She goes out to do washing early in the week, and takes washing at her home the last half of the week. She lived at Centerville until about nineteen years ago, when at the death of her husband she came to this city. COLOR LINE DIVORGE CASE IN ST. LOUIS STOPPED COLLINS, THE WHITE HUSBAND, REUNITES WITH CLAMORGAN GIRL WHO WAS CHARGED WITH DROP OF COLORED BLOOD—HIS FATHER PROPOSES THE RECON- CILIATION. St. Louis.—The most sensational divorce case which St. Louis has had in the memory of the oldest residents has come to a sudden settlement, it seems, in the announcement of the dropping of the Clamorgan suit, an action for a marriage annulment against a daughter of a successful octoonon colored family here. John Collins, so not a prominent family, and Cora Clamorgan Collins, his beautiful wife, whom he renounced two months ago when it was said she had colored blood, are to be reunited. The suit which Owen L. Collins, the father of John Collins, brought as "his next friend" to annul his son's marriage is to be dismissed and the trouble which has almost wrecked the two homes in Ellendale, a fashionable suburb, is ended. John C. Higdon, attorney for Cora Clamorgan Collins, received a letter from Louis P. Clamorgan, her father, saying that a reconciliation had been effected. The letter reads: "John Collins called on me last evening as expected and made the proposition to withdraw the annul- ment suit and let the whole matter drop out of existence if we would agree to do likewise and promise not to enter any suit in retaliation. "He said his father had authorized him to make this proposition. I told him I would be glad to settle the matter out of court, and if his proposition met with the approval of Mrs. Cora Collins' attorney, and I thought it would, we would join them in bringing this notorious sensation to an end. He seemed much relieved and assured me that his father would request his lawyers to withdraw the papers at once. "LOUIS P. CLAMORGAN." The Clamorgans had moved in the best society in Ellendale, representing they were descendants of Spanish nobility. Collins' father is a wealthy real estate owner. Blanche Clamorgan, a sister of Mrs. Collins, was a reader in the Christian Science church. All the Clamorgans girls were beautiful and were educated in the white schools. The laws of Missouri do not allow colors and whites to attend the same schools. The Clamorgans separated after their child was born, two months ago. LONGFELLOW'S DAUGHTER MEETS COLERIDGE--TAYLOR GREAT COLORED ENGLISH COMPOSER TELLS HER THAT IN HIS MUSIC OF HIAWATHA HE DREW HIS INSPIRATION FROM HER FATHER'S WORDS. London.—One of the most picturesque figures at the meeting of the Welsh National Eisteddfod at Carmarthen was Miss Alice Longfellow, the daughter of the poet, and it was quite in the fitness of things that Miss Longfellow should meet Mr. Coleridge-Taylor, who has been one of the musical adjudicators at the Eisteddfod, and whose musical setting of Longfellow's "Hiawatha" is by common consent destined for immortality. Miss Longfellow said that she had had the Eisteddfod in her mind for years. The contrast between Miss Longfellow, with her silver-white hair, and with a remarkable likeness to the portraits of her illustrious father, and Mr. Coleridge-Taylor, who, despite his African characteristics of color and hair, is London born and educated, was very striking. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor expressed the gratification he felt at meeting Miss Longfellow, especially in the home of the Eisteddfod—in the very garden where one of the national gatherings was held 500 years ago. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor recalled his visits to the poet's house in America, and his inspection of the Indian curiosities it contained. He explained in answer to Miss Longfellow that he had never visited the Hiawatha country, and that, although he was acquainted with many of the weird native Indian melodies, he had not drawn upon them in his setting of the scenes from "Hiawatha." He had relied purely upon the spirit of Longfellow's words for his inspiration. SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND One of the most prominent college professors took unto himself as a wife a very charming and highly cultured German lady who is exquisitely particular about all small matters. Several years ago, just after she had come to live in this country, she was ever on the qui vive for new forms of expression. One night the professor came home worn out with the troubles of commencement. As he was dressing to attend a very formal reception he remarked: "I wish we weren't going to this shindig." "Shindig?" repeated his wife, "what is a shindig?" "It's the sort of thing we're going to tonight." answered her husband. to tonight, answered her husband. At the close of a very enjoyable evening the professor heard his wife saying: "Oh, Mrs. B——, I have so much enjoyed your shindig"—Harper's Weekly SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Prof. W. E. Dubois not only gives a fine editorial on "The First Universal Congress" in this month's issue of The Crisis, but also writes a splendid account of the meeting in the same issue. Says The Crisis on the object of the meeting. Twenty-seven parishes in the state of Louisiana have more educable colored children than educable white children, according to the returns made to the department of education for the enumeration of 1911 by the assessors under the law. The names "What after all was the object of assembling a congress of this character? To many people it seemed a visionary scheme; what practical outcome could there be? The executive committee stated the purpose of the congress succinctly: 'The object of the congress will be to discuss, in the light of science and the modern conscience, the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, between so-called white and so-called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings, and a heartier co-operation.' Lord Weardale in his introduction to the volume of papers has enlarged upon this idea: 'To those who regard the furtherance of international good will and peace as the highest of all human interests, the occasion of the, first universal races congress opens a vista of almost boundless promise.' "No impartial student of history can deny that in the case of nearly all recorded wars, whatever the ostensible reasons assigned, the underlying cause of conflict has been the existence of race antipathies—using the word race in its broad and popular acceptance—which particular circumstances, often in themselves of trivial moment, have fanned into flame." The writer continued further with several other paragraphs and spoke of the personnel of the meeting and used extracts from papers read by seventeen of the most highly educated and scholarly men in attendance. We give a resume of one of the most important papers: "Dr W E. B. DuBois, United States. — The negroes number about ten millions in the United States. Most of them descend from former slaves. They live at the present time under a system of theoretical liberty, but it is restricted in practice by certain legal dispositions and by custom. They are well disposed toward family life, in so far as they are enabled to enjoy it, and to education. They have churches of their own. About two hundred thousand of them are farmers, and fifty thousand are engaged in commerce and the liberal professions. Seventy-five per cent of the negroes live in the south. One theory proposes that they should emancipate themselves by acquiring wealth, but it would seem that intellectual emancipation should proceed hand in hand with economic independence." Sir Harry Johnson, of England, stated that the physical difference from the white was merely a question of taste. He spoke highly of the negro's ability and his progress in various walks. Great good is hoped will be the result of such a meeting. Those connected with the gathering claim it will promote cordial relations among all divisions of mankind, void of color or prejudice. Let us hope that all races are better off by the meeting. The negro must recognize and appreciate the favors which come to him, and stand with the m n, or men, who stand by him. All men in the white race are not enemies to the negro. There are thousands of persons of the Caucasian race who sincerely and genuinely wish us well, and when we find them we should show by our attitude that we appreciate their kindness. You should patronize the man in business who shows by his acts that he desires you to succeed, and return in every way you can the favors which the charitably disposed show you. "He that would have friends must show himself friendly."—Danville Torchlight. The masses do not know, nor even have an idea what the men whom they have put in front of the work, along the different lines, have to undergo. If they did they would be more considerate in their criticism of them. A great many of the people think that the men who are always on the road as representatives of the race are having a good time, but if those same people who have that idea were put on the road, or put in the lead for just one month, they would change their minds as to the good time that the leaders have.—Helena Interstate Reporter. There are a goodly number of negroes in town who should be on the farm; but they cannot go unless they are backed by the moneyed men of this city. Charleston merchants and business men have just begun in the last one or two years to put out their money. They are buying real estate and selling it out to negroes. This is indeed commendable on their part. The next step will be the farm, and we do not care how quickly it comes. —Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. It pays every Afro-American youth to have a reputation for being courteous, truthful, trustworthy, honest and reliable. —Cadiz informer.

Of a recent tournament given to discover one of these "hopes" the following description is at least suggestive: Great white hope tournament No. 2 did not pan out as the promoters and fans had hoped. To the contrary, it was what might be termed a frost, and, compared with No. 1 show, was disappointing. Only six of the 21 entrants put in appearance and of these only one made a noise like a regular scraper. In the finals he lost his noodle and the decision at the same time, fouling his opponent before we could get a real good line on his ability. This idea of tournaments is a splendid one and if promoters do not develop frigid pedal extremities some of these days a heavyweight may show with sufficient skill and natural fighting ability to warrant some experienced person taking him in hand with the ultimate idea of holding him into such shape where an exchange of swats with Mr. Jack Johnson or his successor will be in order. The fact that a colored man reigns on the pugilistic throne makes it possible for these unknowns of little or no fistic capacity to show their wares to a critical public, and while in the majority of instances to date the quality of the goods has been punk fight followers should take heart in the thought that it is through perseverance and constant application that anything worth while is ever accomplished and hope some day tangible results will be the answer.—Dallas Express. The encouragement which the negro ministers have given, by timely word from their pulpits and in such publications as they control, to the business growth and expansion coincident with the organization of the National Negro business league is creditable to them, as the moral leaders of the people, which it is a pleasure to acknowledge. The business education which the negro ministers have had in the upbuilding of their great church denominations and educational institutions has been more helpful, perhaps, than the business training received in negro fraternal and benevolent societies. The training has been of a character that could not have been gotten in any other way, as the business enterprises of the country were closed against the negro people, where such training is to be obtained—the practical training which, supplemented by that of the schools, has given the United States a pre-eminent position in the politics and commerce of the world. But it is a fair statement of the situation that the practical work which the negro ministers are called upon to do, as an object lesson to the people, has not so far been touched by them. The ministers should readily see that more preachment no longer suffices as the work needed to be done by them. The parish and community work which has given the Catholic church so much power and enabled it to exercise such great influence over the masses, on this continent and in Europe, is due in the main to the fact that the poor and the wealthy, the laborer and the business man, have been regarded by the church as equally the beneficiaries of its influence for the promotion of the common good. It is the hope that the negro ministers will give more attention to the business growth and expansion of their membership in the future than in the past. They could do this to advantage from the purely selfish point of view, if for no other as a well-to-do, a brossever member, is no more helpful, more to be desired, than an impoverished one. Let pulpit and press work together in the future as in the past to get the negro a more solid foundation in the good things of earth—New York Age At a recent international gathering of the Christian Endeavor society in Atlantic City, Booker Washington was unanimously elected to the position of trustee-at-large. The motion to elect him was made by a southern white man living in Nashville.—Southern Student.

As well Se our. yponie, evervhere, know that these afe dangerous times for them, Ohio Afro-Americans, outside of Cleve Jand, are sound asleep, as far as, the Jmportance of having direct represet: tation in next year's Ohio State Con- stitutional convention js concerned. ‘The U. 8. Supreme:Court has decided that the states areypupreme in the matter of the privilege (not a right) Of voting except when it comes to U. & elections —for congressmen and presidential electors. Disfranchisement bas grown in the south until nearly ‘every state in that section of the country bas disfranchised its Afro- American voters, and the feeling favor- ing sub pernicious action is growing northward. No one can tell, In these peculier times, what the near future mey bring forth slong this line even in Ohio. The growth of prejudice against the race in recent years has been sufficient to at least put us on guard and to make us careful to at least try to be properly represented in all law-making bodies where there is the slightest chance to secure such representation. The door, for the ef- fort at least, has been opened wide for weeks to our Ohio voters, as well as to all others, in this matter of representation in next year's con stitutional convention, and it will be closed on the 7th of next. month, What are we doing, outside of Cleve. land, to take advantage of this glori- ous opportunity—more important to us than any other class of citizens in the “Buckeye” state? Nothing! ab: solutely nothing, outside of Cleveland, as far as we have been able to learn, What in the world is the matter with this race of ours? In the south, a million Afro-American voters are dis franchised. Here in the north, we'll sleep on until some morning’ there will come a rude awakening when it is too late—we fear, A SPLENDID TESTIMONIAL By a Fair White Newspaper Writer te Jack Johnson, Peter Jackson, Frank Craig and the Bohee ‘Brothers Abroad. People who do not know the Eng- lish wondered over thelr recent ec static reception of Jack Johnson, 1.on- don was full of visiting royalty “when “he came to town,” but he put them all in the shade.’ His progress was like a miniature Lord Mayor's pro: cession and the crowds were more than a hinting of those which greeted the eoronation parade. There's a double reason for this. Johnson is a ‘great and successful prize fighter and |e is & Negra, ‘There are no race di Unctions in England and with its cen: | tury-old love of pugilism the spectacie Jot & black champion caught the Brit [ish faney as no other combination could have done. The Johnson craze Simply repeated that of Peter, Juck- son, and Frank Craig, the “Harlem | Coffee Cooler.” Then, ‘too, “Fingland has always been partial to the Nexto in publie iife, Strange as It_ may seem, London was one of the greatest strongholds of minstrelsy in the World, For more than a quarter of Century Moore & Burgess" Minstrels played there and it was the proud doast of “Pony” Moore, who owied the company, that it never played out: side of London. Until all its mem: bers grew old and toothless, it was as much of a London institution as Ma dame Tussauds or Egyptian Hall ‘where all the great magicians, includ! Ing our own Gus Hartz, were’ housed from time to time, London welcomed the minstrels that Jack Haverly took there, but it reserved its greatest en thusiaem for Callender's Georgia Min strels, the genuine article with Billy Kersands, who was one of the great est minsirel comedians of any racé pr color. Cleveland had a share of this success for the Bohee Brothers, who used to live here, were members of the company. ‘They played the ban Yo in a way that set all London talk ing. ‘This enthusiasm grew bound: less when King Edward, then the Prince of Wales, and, as usual, a boy in his desire for novelty, engaged the brothers to teach him how to plink plank, plunk. After that, they owned the town and such Is. the steadfast ness of the British liking they prob ably have their nice little share of it now, if they are living. ‘They were in the flesh a few years ago. and pros perous, but 1 haven't heard anything about them lately. ‘This apprectation of King Edward was rightly placed for, without, question, they were the finest banjoists of their time, and sd far I haven't heard any one who sur passed them. It is the fashion now among the fellows who play banjos tg go in for virtuosity and If they don’ give us the “William Tell” overture With ‘aching fingers and sweat-be dewed brows, it is Suppe's “Poet anc Peasant” which they tackle. But. the Bohee boys, as many Clevelanders will remember, stuck to the natura range of the banjo and its natura music, “1 must modify this by suying that they gave “The Rive Danube’ as a duet in a way that would have delighted Strauss himself, They put a rhythm in it that gave it a new beauty and when you heard it you Wished fo dance just as if you were ‘At-an obi meeting. But the maln run of their repertory was made up ot characteristic Southern music, which they played with a wonderful’ quality of tone, uncanny faculty, expression and a rhythm that was hypnotic. They used to have a saloon on Ontario Strect with a big music hall attach ment, and here the Bohee boys would play ‘every evening to audiences that ‘went there to drink in the music and not the beer. These Bohees were artists in their line and by keeping to. the normal quality of the banjo’ they raised it to the dignity of a solo in- strument. I don't blame the King for taking lessons from them, no matter what it cost him. He could give draft on the First Lord of the Back Stairs of the Bank of England and It would be honored at sight. 1 know 1 Zot the craze from. these Bohees und Managed. to. master the Pensacola Quickstep after months of tortured and torturing practice. —Wm.

Mr, Mayo Fesler, Sec, Municipal As: sociation, City, Dear Sir: Th undersigned, mem- bers of the committee appointed by the Citizens’ Association for Civie In- terests, in compliance with your re- quest, ‘are sending “in writing” the protest made recently to you in per- son: ‘The association, composed of lead: ing Afro-Americans of this city, pro- tests against your “labeling,” as “Ne- groes” and “Colored,” Afro-American candidates for public office in this city and county: First, because this harmful discrimination’ fs done in thelr case only; secondly, because there is no good reason why any class of CITIZENS should be so “labeled” or designated in your reports. It would be equally unfair and insulting to so “iabel” or designate Jewish, Irish, German and candidates of other nationalities or classes, and yet, if this sort of thing is followed in the case of the Afro-American, all other candidates of the different nationali- ties or classes should be similarly treated in your reports, It Is the merest nonsense to argue in defense of such insulting discrimt. nation that the nationality or class of other candidates is indicated by their names, There are many Jewish, Irish, German and other class-candi dates, constantly before the public, whose names do not indicate their na- tionality or class-connection. ‘Therefore, the Citizens’ Association for Civic Interests protests against such manifestly unfair treatment of local Afro-American candidates and respectfully requests its discontinu- ance.

Paris.—One of the most interesting theatrical experiments of late years, the Theater Ambulant Gemier, or the Gemler Traveling Theater, is about to come to an end In its present form, and the company is going into liquida tion, Mr. Gemier, the enterprising actor manager of the coneern, formerly of tha Comedie Francaise, states that although, from the point of view of the receipts, averaging $600 a day, the new veuture has been a complete success, it is impossible to continue the present method of tugging the heavy theater, scenery, properties, dressing room, caravans, lighting plant, ete. along the roads by means of @ traction engine, which, when working properly gets up a speed of three miles an hour, and at other times, falls into ditehes, dashes down hills into churchyarés and otherwise complicates matters. ‘The founder, therefore, thought it best to go {nto voluntary liquidation; but he has not the smallest idea of giving up this portable theater.

BERLIN IS VERY QUIET CITY Neediess Noises Are Wisely and Firm: ty Suppressed in Kaiser's Capital, ‘Mica: ‘Rice @iada, Berlin.—“Noiseless Germany” has made a favorable impression on Mrs. Isaac L. Rice of New York, president of the Soclety for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noises, She found among other things that the idea that whis- tles are a necessary evil on railroads has been destroyed by the German method. A couple of years ago, in conse- quence of the kaiser’s habit of travel ing by night and hfs dislike of being disturbed, orders were Issued that Ger. man railroads should not use whistles. Accidents on German railroads are rare, while in Belgium, where whis tes are screeching continually. they are frequent. ‘The same is the case in France. In Germany ten minutes before the train starts the officials tell the pas- sengers to take their seats. There is no crush, and when it is time, a whis- tle like a boatswain’s is sounded and the train starts. Mrs, Rice would like to see the same system introduced in to the United States. Mrs. Rice has been devoting special attention to automobile horns. ‘They ‘ave as great a nulsance abroad, she says, as at home. While in a Lon don hotel at a busy hour in the even ing she counted 488 whistles in 15 minutes, and during a comparatively quite time 696 in half an hour. “In Paris,” she says, “our own chauffeur sounded the horn 55 times in less than three minutes, and it was in a quiet street. “I noticed in passing through the streets of Paris that scarecely a win dow was open. People cannot sleep with open windows on account of the noise. “I am happy to say that several 80 cleties for the suppression of noises are successful In Europe. They have even induced hotel people to post signs reading, “Kindly keep quiet.” Charge Three More With Lynching.

Meetings of the Citizens' Association for Civic Interest have been held in about all of our local churches and will continue until the November election if the required number of signatures are secured. St. Andrew's Woman's Auxiliary will be addressed, Wednesday afternoon, by Miss Hunt, who is connected with the "Infants' Rest." All our church women are especially invited to attend this meeting. The purpose is to bring all in closer touch with the needs of our poor children, especially those with special definitions. The Gazette urges our women to attend this meeting at St. Andrew's church, next Wednesday afternoon. It is really important. Bishop Charles H. Phillips and Rev. T. J. Moppins of Nashville, Tenn., and Rev. C. L. Bonner of Atlanta, Ga., delegates to the Ecumenical-Conference of Methodists in session at Toronto, Ca. Oct. 4 to 17, were in the city, Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.

Snelson, known for his work among the churches along the west coast of Africa, as well as in this country, assigned to the pastorate of St. James' church, took charge Sunday. He was born in Georgia and educated at Atlanta university. He has received degrees from various universities, sent to the African coast as general superintendent of the west African work, in that way following in the footsteps of his parents, who were missionaries in that country. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London for scientific work in Africa among the aborigines. After returning to America, Dr. Snelson made a application, many times, to the country in his ability to raise funds and build churches. He has had funds in Hamilton, Bellaire and Lockland. Last Sunday, he preached at St. James' church, morning and evening, and Rev. Thompson preached in the afternoon, his church choir furnishing the music.

On the edge of the next month one looks with interested eyes at the field of fashion. Surely the theme of dress is ever interesting, isn't it? These are questions that well-dressed women are pondering over, and only can they be answered by keeping a close watch on the little changes that are constantly coming into notice. The tunic is still with us. It is shorter and is heralding double and triple skirts. The Klimono sleeve—it to be a mode of this fall? Some designers say yes, and others hint that its knell is sounded. Sashes and military effects will be strong; Louis XVI styles are very pronounced; and so the song is without end. The other day at the Ritz in the attractive tearoom a stunning gown of figured crape silk was seen. It had three skirts and a flat panel at the back. The color was a warm gray and oriental embroidery was used, the tangerine yellow predominating. A fischau of gray mousselline hemstitched in three parallel rows in yellow was caught under a cabochon of gray pearls and topazes. With this exquisite frock the beautiful owner wore a large gray velvet hat, turned up at each side of the front and held under huge yellow and gray poppies, with a flat ruching of gray tulle around the crown. Shoes and stockings of gray completed the symphony. Monsieur Decoux has again pronounced a change in the coiffure. He has declared that the hair is to be waved, and not as full at the sides, while the whole mass of soft puffs and colls has been raised higher on the head. He invariably binds the evening coiffure with a bandeau of brillants, beads or oriental gauze. 'At the Maison Green there is being shown a new long cloak that is the bright idea of Monsieur Green.' It is a long traveling cloak with a deep hem turned up all around and fastened with buttons or loops. In this form it is walking length and the hem is embroidered in wool and the embroidered in decorative border. But if mildy is traveling in a motor car and feels the need of extra warmth around her feet, the hem is loosened and dropped about her feet. Isn't that clever? The lower edge of the tunic is undergoing many modifications. The latest models show the edges cut in points or squares, the intervening spaces filled in with ruffles and the edge of the tunic piled with velvet. Flet lace is much used for panes, yokes and undersheeves. Sometimes the figures are embroidered in colors to carry out a tone idea of the costume. Fringe is everywhere! The long silk fringe, the beaded, glistening fringe, the ball tringe, are used in all fields of dress for young and—not so young! And just in closing let it be repeated ed that if you would be chic, as the Parisienne uses the word, three things must match your dress: Your shoes, bag and hat. ELOISE. TORCHON LACE. Good old-fashioned hand-made torchon lace has been revived for the trimming of underwear. It is a durable, serviceable lace that never should have gone out of fashion, and most women will welcome its return as they would the flowers in May. Our mothers used it on all fine underwear, and it was only given up when the masses of cheap laces were introduced by the manufacturers. Now, however, consumers are recognizing the error of their ways and favor the torchon patterns made of substantial linen threads. With this revival it is expected that some of the dainty handmade laces so dear to the heart of our feminine ancestors will again be in vogue. With a fine crochet needle and a ball of linen thread the idle hours can be profitably employed in making yards of lace after some simple pattern that will not tax the brain too much with the counting of stitches. Small handbooks can be had at the art needlework departments of our large stores, that contain full instructions in the making of laces that will not only give a dainty touch to the homemade undergarments, but would be a most acceptable gift for the bride-to-be who is busily engaged in stocking her trousseau chest. We welcome the revival of hand-made torchon lace. DETACHABLE FLOWER It must have been the girl of small allowance who invented the detachable flower for her bat. Trimming the winter's chapeau is so simple that it is an easy matter to whisk off one flower and put on another to match the next costume worn. Velvet poinsettias are a favorite flower on winter hats for those who can stand the vivid red so close to the face. Another popular flower is huge velvet roses in rich dull tones. A new idea is to outline the edges of these roses with thy bends to correspond to the color of the costume worn. Instead of sewing on the detachable roses each time, they are provided with thy safety pins on the under side, which are quickly adjusted to the trimming. ELDERBERRY BLOSSOM WINE. One quart of elderberry blossoms picked from the stem, three quarts of water, three pounds of granulated sugar, one-half of a lemon, three tablespoonfuls of yeast; boil sugar and water together and pour over the blossoms in the morning; cut the lemon before pouring on water; let all stand till night; at night add the yeast; let stand till morning; strain into a keg and put a piece of mosquito netting over the bung; let stand for six weeks, when it is ready for use. BELTS FOR EARLY FALL WEAR. Belts of suede and patent leather will continue in first fashion for late summer and early fall wear. Without a doubt they are the most serviceable, wear better and look better for a longer time than any other kind. The shops are now showing beautiful new styles, with all sorts of fancy buckles—some of them set with mock jewels, inlaind with enamel or carved in intricate designs. The belts themselves are in the most part plain, but for the woman who desires a fancy touch to her costume at the waist line there is a wide selection of fancy models. A black patent-leather belt will show a lining and binding of white or some vivia colored satin. Persian designs are inset in the center and sides of the belts showing a lining of multicolored silk Straps and crossbars of shiny kid are used for ornamentation also. Some of the belts are made of soft leather that is very pliable and, when placed taut about the waist, wrinkles slightly. Other wide belts take the form of a girdle and are fastened with long metal buckles covered with patent leather. Practically the same styles are carried out in the belts of suede. These, however, often show designs of metal nailheads all the way around. A very attractive belt is of golden brown suede which slips through several oblong slides that are connected at each end with fine chains and are set with imitation topaz in silver filigree. White suede is, of course, the proper belt to wear with white gowns, especially with the white serge skirts and lingerie blouses. These can be easily cleaned and promise to be very popular during the early fall with serge suits. Belts of embroidered linen matching the linen suit are splendid for everyday wear, and with white linen frocks one should have a belt of linen embroidered either in white mercerized thread, a conventional design or a floral wreath in colored floss. Some women prefer an elastic belt. They cling to the figure and are sure to set properly. These can be bought in all colors either plain or fancy. Those trimmed with jet or steel beads are often very attractive. For lingerie dresses the belt or girdle of softly folded satin is charming. It is best to select a delicate shade matching the ribbons or embroidery used on the gown. Satin, mouselline and even chiffon are used for girls on evening gowns when the broad hand of embroidery about the raised waist line is omitted. ONE-PIECE FROCKS There has been a slight effort on the part of fashion makers to bring back into favor the two-piece costume—that is, the separate skirt and bodice—but from the advanced fall styles it would seem that they were not successful. With the high empire skirts so little material is consumed in the making of the waist that women demand the bodice be made of the same material as the skirt. If not, then some pretty soft fabric that exactly matches it in color. Even with coat suits the coming season will see blouses matching the color of the cloth used in the suit. The short, straight skirt, high waist line and loose blouse, with a slightly low cut neck, although not new in design, will be worn all winter. The newest models are trimmed with lace embroidery, braid and buttons in ways that give them quite a distinctive touch. Heavy silk cord outlines the joining point of bodice and skirt and is fastened on the side with a twisted loop. Long tasselled ends fall almost to the hem of the skirt. The slightly low neck is finished with a plaited collar of handkerchief linen edged with clung or a fine valenciennes lace. There is a cravat of silk tied in a flat bow or four-in-hand having two narrow ends hanging to the waist line and weighted with silk tassels. Beneath the three-quarter sleeve is a four-inch undersleeve of net. Such a frock can be made of satin, serge, worseted or one of the soft cashmeres that will be much worn during the fall. WHITE LACE VEILS White lace veils are extremely popular and delightfully cool-looking, although their influence when spread over the face is far from it. They are, however, of special value from the picturesque point of view, for on a black hat trimmed with line white wings a floating veil is a graceful addition. Silk veils or the wide-meshed Shetland veils are the accepted vogue; veils of cotton thread with a lacy border are really most becoming to the majority of faces. Face veils of large octagonal mesh lend a softening tone to the compaction; they are less warm than the Shetland veils and are worn extensively by women who value a veil as a protection from the ravages of a stiff wind. Those in gray, black and white will be highly popular during the comb season. FAMILY MENDING BASKET. Large-sized collar supporters will keep children's soft ribbon sashes from having a "stingy" appearance. Get the largest size of celluloid or bone supporters and put one in front and one on each side of the sash—or more if the softness of the ribbon necessitates it. On rainy days it is well to remember the picnics in the sunshine, even if you can't pay the price of the journey. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, CCTOBER 7, 1911 BLACK AND WHITE TWINS BORN OF NEGRO PARENTS—ONE OF THE CHILDREN IS PURE WHITE WHILE THE OTHER IS JET BLACK—PHYSICIANS DEEPLY INTERESTED IN CASE. Philadelphia, Pa.—The medical fraternity is deeply interested in twins who are children of negro parents. Marle Boner, aged 5 months and a few days, is as black as her heart-of-Africa ancestors were. On the other hand, Sallie Boner, likewise aged 5 months and a few days, and a twin sister to Marle, is much whiter than the average Caucasian baby. Doctors say that it is nothing more or less than the unusual but well authenticated atavism or manifestation of a racial strain that has been submerged for generations, and finally crops out unexpectedly. The case of Marle and Sallie is all the more unusual because of their being twins—one black and the other white. The doctors declare that they have records of cases where a single baby has betrayed the submerged strain of another race, but that atavism has set dom manifested itself in this manner. Atavism is not peculiar to any race. The same freak of nature might develop in the offspring of white persons. Marie and Sallie are at this moment snuggled side by side in a cot in the day camp of the Chestnut street recreation pier and are oblivious absolutely of the rudely curious visitors who find them a source of wondromet. Both are as healthy as children can be, and their chief recreation lies in chasing each other—like two cubes—around their trundle cot, and eventually falling into a terrific struggle for supremacy. Maybe race supremacy is the crux of their baby antagonism, and maybe it's merely the joy of being on the top of the windswept pier away from the sordidness and fetidness of the streets and alleys. There are many wonderful conjectures about Marie and Sallie. Their mother died when they were born, and as far as their father knows there may have been the blood of the white man in Mamma Boner's veil. Friends of Mamma Boner say that it must have been four generations ago that the negro strain was broken. The grandparents of the twins came from Georgia. Sallie is absolutely white. She isn't green nor yet blue. Neither is there the slightest indication of her Ethiopian parentage in her hair. Her lips are full, but not the thick, superensual, sagging lips of the negro. As a matter of fact, there are scores of Caucasians to be seen every day in Chestnut street whose lips are heavier and thicker. Her eyes are as blue as corn flowers, and so fair and delicate is her skin that the blue veins beneath can be traced along their forked way for inches. Her nails are pink and delicately shaded just like those of any white baby. Her little nose is going to be aquiline and daintily molded. It is of no advantage to describe Marle. Marle is the typical pickaninny—just as cunning, just as clean and equally bright as her white sister—but a pickaninny if there ever was one. To make the distinction all the more vivid, Marle's chubby little legs are so bowed that she would easily represent the letter O if stood on her minute feet. Sallie's are as straight as legs can be. Now the future of Marle and Sallie is no mean thing to contemplate. Some enterprising vaudeville man might teach the odd sisters to do a "sister act." Already several well-known doctors are interested in the twins and are preparing to have the children reared where they can watch their development. Both are pretty to a degree, and, while Sallie's hair now has brunette inclinations, the nurses say that it is not unlikely that it will turn blonde. NEGROES TO LIBERIA RACE TROUBLES IN OKLAHOMA START EXODUS FROM THAT STATE. Denlson, Texas—Because he believes that under the present conditions it is impossible for the negro to prosper in southern Oklahoma since the recent race troubles there, Dovey Costner, a negro farmer, has announced that he will head a band of fifty negroes in an expedition to colonize in Liberia. Costner says he has found negroes in Bryan county who are willing to go with him. A WARNING Dr. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, the new chancellor of New York university, was talking about his desire for a larger and deeper study of the arts in American colleges. "In youth," said Dr. Brown, "the taste is formed, and it will be a taste for fine and beautiful things, or it will be a taste for tawdry and false things. Without great care it will be a taste of the latter sort. Let us be warned by the anecdote of the little Klantone boy. "This little boy was taken, one summer day, to the circus for the first time. "Well, dear, how did you like it? his mother asked on his return. "His eyes widened, and he answered with earnest and grave enthusiasm: "Mamma, if you once went to the circus you'd never, never, consent to go to church again in all your life. —Exchange Bronze Replacing Bras Bronze Repairman Brass Bronze is taking the place of brass in the fixings of railroad passenger coaches.

Avoid Redundance Where ten words suffice to express a thought eleven are too many. THE BURDEN OF OUR THOUGHT A STRONG EDITORIAL FROM THE NATIONAL BAPTIST UNION REVIEW. The burden of our thought is the well-being of the Negro, and this is in response or answer to the impulses of nature's primal law. It would be less than natural for it to be otherwise. No people, like as unto an individual, can or do rise higher than their thought or estimation of themselves. History substantiates this fact and leaves in the mind of those who peruse its pages, in serious search to learn the lessons it has to teach to its records, some valuable lessons of the life and doings of the different races of men. Each has made its impress upon the world in direct proportion to the confidence it has displayed with regard to its own ability to work out its own racial destiny. The peoples who have made the greatest show in self-development have been those who have talked and talked incessantly of their achievements and ability to further achieve, and with such persistence that it made action on their part, in order to fulfill their boasting of their powers to do an imperative duty, a necessity. The peoples lowest down in the field of things done are those who have not been spurred on to the limit of endeavor by racial publicity of what they were capable of doing. They were negligent or indifferent to the importance of giving to the world a full account of any worthy thing done by an individual or collection of things accomplished racially. For instance the Indian—the Red Man of the western plain—while he could throw his tomahawk with undevoting precision and use his bow and arrow with the unerring precision of a Tell, yet he trod the beaten path of tradition, the path of his fathers, without saying he could do greater things and making those sayings true. The Chinaman is another instance of the old way—the way that things have been done—the easy way. For untold centuries he has cried out, so to speak. "Tradition—we must uphold tradition!" He, as a sailor, builds his clumsy junk, rig it with clumsy sails and navigates it in the same clumsy way that did his ancestors a thousand years ago. Other people might be mentioned in this connection to prove that those who have not accomplished world-helpful things have been those who have failed to receive and then transmit inspiration born of racial laudation of things accomplished and things in the course of contemplation. The white man is an example of egotism, of overweening boastfulness of his power and ability to do. This trait in him is pronounced, and while it has made him overhearing and has become almost a fact with him, yet it has forced him to attempt the seemingly impossible that his boasting might hold good. He has said, "I can do anything within human possibility;" and because he has said so, he attempts. The results of these attempts have told mightily in his favor, and, in truth, he now leads in the mightiest of achievements. We have commented thus in order to say this: Let the Negro people extol their racial achievements, and their ability to achieve in that whole-hearted manner that will create substantial faith in their ability to do anything within the scope of human powers equally as great as that of any people. Let us who are more addicted to envying each other's success individually than any other race on the face of the earth, tear out this ruinous, deadly trait from our racial life and plant in its stead the beautiful spirit of encouragement and co-operativeness for the common good of all. Let us not weary in giving credit to those who are deserving of credit. Let every man of the race remember that no other man can fill the niche in the scheme of things which God the director of the material as well as the spiritual affairs of men, intended for him. Let him not hide his talent and sulk in his tent because he has but one, but let him put that to the usury of service with willingness and energy of enthusiasm as though he had been given two or five. If he does, his reward will be as great as the others, as the beautiful parable of the talents assures in these words which were spoken to the two servants having the two and five talents: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make the ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the Lord." The reward was the same to both, because each had performed his duty to the best of his ability. Let us quit now, if we are guilty of doing so, wasting our energy trying to injure some fellow-laborer who may have one or more talents than we. God in his wisdom has made us a distinct people and let us contribute our share of effective service to the sum total of racial building and we will not be ashamed or dismayed at the way of accounting, but will be able to say with full assurance that we have used our talents for the welfare of our people, who have been the burden of our thought.

The Sunday School Lesson Sunday School Lesson for October 8, 1911 THE LIFE-GIVING STREAM Golden Text — "Whoever will, let him drink of the water of the freely." —Rev 22:17 Ezek 47:112 Committ v 9 9. 9 Time.—574 B. C. Place—Jerusalem. Exposition—in the interpretation of this wonderful vision of Ezekiel, one must walk very carefully and scripturally. If free rein is given to the imagination it may be made to mean almost anything to suit the fancy of the interpreter. A favorite interpretation with some is that the river symbolizes the spread of the gospel, and that the vision teaches that the gospel is to spread wider and wider, until gradually the whole world is to be brought under its sway. But first of all there is no clear indication that the river symbolizes the gospel and its progress and spread. In the next place, if it does, it is nowhere said or hinted that this river is to fill all things; on the contrary, it is distinctly said that there will be places where its healing power is not felt (v. 11). In the next place, it is the clear teaching of the New Testament that there are to be two developments side by side, the development of the kingdom of God and the development of the kingdom of Satan; that so far from the world getting better and better until it is converted, that evil men will wear worse and worse (2t. men will wear and come,) and both to grow together until the harvest, that is 'the end of the age' (Matt. 13:30, 39). The primary meeting of the vision is the lighthouse right of the face (cf. Zech. 14:8, 22:1). There is in be in the days to come a literal restoration of Israel to Jerusalem, and from that temple a river of blessing will flow into the dead sea. It will carry fertility and life wherever it goes. It is objected to this that 'a fountain producing abundance of water was within the temple, and could not be there on the top of such a hill; and consequently these waters, as well as those spoken of by Joel and Zechariah, must be understood figuratively and typically.' But any one who believes in a God who brought water out of the wilderness will have no difficulty in believing that he can bring it out of the temple elevation in Jerusalem (cf. Isa. 41:18-20). But the literal meaning does not preclude a figurative application. Indeed, the Holy Spirit himself makes a figurative application of the smitten rock in the wilderness (1 Cor. 10:4). Of what is the river a type? We must always, if we would be safe, closely follow scripture in seeing types. This is easy in this case. Water and rivers are constant types in the Bible of the Holy Spirit (Isa. 44:3, 4); Jno. 7:39; Isa. 55:1). In our present passage a life-giving river is certainly a most fitting type of the Holy Spirit, who lives wherever he flows (Jno. 6:63; Rom. 8:2, 11). Note first that the waters came from the sanctuary. The Holy Spirit comes forth from the presence of God, from that presence too into which the high priest has gone with the shed blood. And it is when our high priest has ascended and gone to appear before God in our behalf and intercede for us, that the Holy Spirit is given (Heb. 9:24-20; Acts 2:32; Jno. 7:39; 14:16). Next, we note the importance of the waters—'waters to the ankles,' 'waters to the knees,' 'waters to the toes,' 'waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.' Such has been the history of the Holy Spirit's operations in various dispensations, an ever-increasing fullness in his manifestation, and such is also the history of his work in each community individual experience. Every child of God who studies and obeys the word and lives a life of prayer is constantly knowing more of the Holy Spirit's fulness. First it was only ankle deep, but now it is 'water to swim in rivers that cannot be passed through' (R. V). Next we see the fruitfulness. The Holy Spirit brings (vs. 7, 12; cf. Ps. 1:2; Jer. 17:8; Isa. 61:3, 22). Wherever this river flows there are trees along his banks, of neverfalling green, bearing fruit and health to man. Oh, how we need to have his streams turned into some of our communities and Sunday schools, into our whole land. "Everything shall live whither the river cometh." Here we have the same thought about the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit that we have in chapter 37:8, 9, 10 (cf. Jno. 6:63; 2 Cor. 3:6). We see this prophecy and promise fulfilled today. Wherever the Holy Spirit comes, life comes. Here is a man "dead in trespasses and sins," the river comes (the Holy Spirit) and the man lives. Here is a dead preacher, the river flows his way and he, too, lives, is power in his every utterance, and all his activity (1 Thess. 1:5). Here is a dead church—dead preaching, singing, Sunday school, dead prayer meeting, minister and members. But the river from the sanctuary flows into that church and what a change!

Imagine, if you can, yourself in the great auditorium of the University of London. There is gathered an audience of some five or six hundred earnest men and women, among whom are eminent representatives of more than twenty civilizations, there are men and women of almost every hue and color speaking some eight or ten different languages; they have come from every corner of the globe to discuss "in the light of science and modern conscience, the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, between so-called white and so-called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings, and a heartier co-operation." Black and white and red and yellow and brown thinkers and scholars of various peoples mingling most friendly and freely in a kaleidoscopic picture of unusual and wonderful interest. "This congress of races is but a part of that world-wide peace movement, yet indeed, a most important and elemental part; for those of the more progressive races of the earth, as they gathered at the Hague to formulate plans and methods by which the nations of the world might be brought to reason rather than to fight together found that the first great obstacle to be removed was race misunderstanding and race prejudice. That is how this congress happened." Remarkable to say, too, it was suggested by an American, Dr. Felx Adler, of New York; so some good things along the line of race recognition do come out of the Nazareth of American civilization About forty-eight or fifty eminent thinkers and scholars of different people were invited to contribute papers on subjects covering nearly every phase that directly or indirectly affected the inter-relation of races, scientific, ethical, economic, and religious, purposely avoiding, however, the politics. The papers were compiled and printed in book form a month or so before the opening of the congress and copies were given to the active members as they secured their admission card. They were "taken as read," which means that the writers did not read them during the sessions, but the topics variously treated in the papers were discussed each day. In five minute speeches, by men and women selected for their ability and their knowledge of the subject treated. The sessions were opened by Dr. Seal, an Indian scholar, principal of Maharajah of Cooch Behars college, Cooch Behar, India. He sought to define the meaning of race, tribe and nation; then followed anthropological and sociological discussions affecting races and the problems of race equality, and in the afternoon of the same day were considered "The Influences of Geographic, Economic and Political Conditions Upon Races," together with such subjects as inter-racial marriage, a comparative present negro problem of America. The paper contributed by Prof. Earl Flnch of Wilberforce University upon the subject, "The Effect of Misegenation," was a very well written and thoughtful paper, showing careful study and research. It was one of the most valuable contributions to the congress. There is no doubt about the fact that this, the first universal races congress, is epocal, in that it was so eminently successful in bringing together men and women of the highest possible characters from all parts of the globe. Simply to have come into contact with such men as the Rt. Hon. Lord Weardale of England, the president of the congress, with Gustave Spiller, its honorable secretary, by whose genius and untiring zeal such a congress was made possible, to have sat in council with Dr. Seal, the Indian scholar, with General Legitime, the Haitian statesman; with Mr. Mead of Boston, the world pacificator, and with Dr. Hadden, the English philosopher, was in itself an inspiration of a lifetime. It is epocal, also, in that it tells that there are many, many members of the so-called "superior race" who recognize the injustice of race prejudice, and stand pledged to exert every effort to discourage and destroy. The American negro who has been privileged to be a part of this congress, will return to his uneven struggle with a lighter heart, a brighter hope for the future, and with a more determined purpose than ever to achieve. At the meeting of the next universal races congress it will, perhaps, be not too much to predict that it will find itself materially nearer the realization of its motto, "Concordia inter gentes ac populus," by reason of the inspiration and powerful forces generated at this, its first slitting. Salisbury, N. C. THE LILY EATERS "This beautiful weather," said James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, at a luncheon in Washington, "sends one, in thought at least, back to the farm." Mr. Wilson smiled. "I heard of a farm the other day," he said, "to which a certain congressman sent a gift of rare illly bulbs from the department. The farmer's wife acknowledged the gift thus: "Dear Sir: Thank you for the particularly fine onions, which were greatly enjoyed with last evening's steak." NO FAVORITISM.

Lightning Blinded Him With the sight of one eye totally destroyed by lightning and but little hope of saving the other, Harry Adams submitted to a delicate surgical operation at the home of his father at Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. Adams, who is twenty-four years old, is interested in a Philadelphia auto truck company and was in the offices of the concern when the severe electric storm broke. Standing before a large mirror opposite a window on the Broad street side of the building, the reflection of the vivid flash of lightning so affected his optic nerves that he fell to the floor unconscious. When he was revived it was found that the young man had lost his sight and was rushed in an ambulance to a hospital. Later he was removed to his home in this city. Specialists who made the operation fear his injuries are permanent. Lost Time.

"Three days," was the reply. "There's the point," said Miller. "With our road in operation you could take your goods to market and be back home in one day." "Very good, senor," answered the native. "But what would we do with other two days?" Loving Friends Never cast aside your friends if by any possibility you can retain them.
