Condensed Into a Few Lines for the Perusal of the Busy Man— Latest Personal Information Washington Taking of testimony in the impeachment trial of Judge Robert W. Archbold ended in the United States senate, after House Manager Sterling had grilled the accused jurist for three hours, with the aid of seven senators. A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the board of the Chase National bank, New York, told a congressional subcommittee in Washington that "the sooner you get the idea out of your head that guarantee of deposits will stop runs on banks the better," and urged the necessity for a central bank. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, speaking before the United States senate subcommittee on judiciary in favor of the Clayton anti-injunction and contempt bills, gave answer to criticisms aimed at the organization of workers which he heads because of the trial and conviction for dynamiting of officers of the Structural Iron Workers' union. By upholding certain disputed counts against James A. Patten and others, charged with a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law in running a so-called cotton corner, the United States Supreme court sent the case against the men to trial in the lower courts. The United States Supreme court sustained the objections of Attorney General Wickersham to the plan of dissolution proposed by the Union Pacific railroad to carry out the mandate of the Supreme court of the United States in the U. P. Southern Pacific merger. President Taft declared himself in a speech in New York as unequivocally in favor of arbitrating the Panama canal tolls in event the pending negotiations between Great Britain and the United States fail to bring about a settlement. He hopes, however, that the question will be set settled before his administration comes to an end.

Ignorant of the fact that her husband went to his death in the Titanic disaster, Mrs. Mary Ripley of Denver was granted a divorce. She later learned of his fate from a New York attorney. With a record of death and disaster, the tank steamer Rosecrans, once a United States army transport, was lost on Peacock Spit, just beyond the bar, near Astoria, Ore., in a gale that drove it on the rocks.

GRAND LODGE OF MASONS. Success of the Order In Mississippi Noted at Anguial Meeting. Mound Bayon, Miss.—The recent annual communication of the M. W. Stringer grand lodge of Mississippi held in this town was attended by 70 delegates. It is the largest and reputed to be the wealthiest grand lodge of Masons among colored men in the United States. The lodge became famous under the leadership of the late Bishop Eward W. Lampton, who served as grand master. The enrollment is 10,000 members, distributed among 420 subordinate lodges. The features of the communication were the report of the financial wizard, Charles Banks, whose duties as secretary-treasurer of the Masonic Benefit association involve the collection and disbursement each year of $100,000 and more; the report of M. W. Grand Master W. A. J. Morgan and of the grand treasurer, Daniel W. Gary, and the heartiest indorsement of the work of those craftsmen by the grand lodges. Mr. Banks has risen through constant effort to the leadership of Mississippi Masons and is the recognized leader of the progressive wing of his people in the state. The Masonic benefit office, located in this famous Negro town, collected in 1911 $100,000 and paid out to beneficiaries of decessed craftsmen $00,000. The office gives employment to a dozen persons. Among the prominent Mississippiians who attended the grand lodge communication were Perry W. Howard, the lawyer; Dr. E. P. Jones, E. D. Coleman of Aberdeen, N. H. McKissack of Holly Springs, Dr. D. W. Sherrod, Virgil Reubens, Emory P. Simmons, Dr. E. B. Topp, H. D. Ford, Professor J. O. Ross, Dr. W. A. Attaway, W. W. Cox, Dr. W. F. Howard, John L. Webb of Yazoo, Calvin N. Miller, Thomas G. Ewing, Jr., and many another of those associated with them. The following officers were elected by acclamation following Mr. Banks report: M. W. grand master, W. A. J. Morgan; deputy grand master, W. W. Phillips of Kosciusko; grand secretary, George S. Goodman of Holly Springs; grand treasurer, D. W. Gary of Mound Bayou; S. G. W. B. F. Lacy of Shiloh G. J. W. J. Morant, Jr. of Vicksburg; secretary-treasurer Masonic Benefit association, Charles Banks. The special address was delivered by Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the journalist, who spoke before a packed house at an open session. The next communication will be held in Canton in the month of December, 1913. WILSON HEADS COLLINS CHAPEL HOSPITAL STAFF Memphis Institution's Future Assured Under Direction of Eminent Surgeon. Nashville, Tenn.—Considerable interest is manifested in the announcement that Dr. J. T. Wilson, the celebrated colored surgeon of this city, has become surgeon in chief of Collins Chapel Old Folks' Home and Hospital, jocated at 418 Ashland Court, Memphis, Tenn. Dr. Wilson Is, without doubt, one of the most successful and best known men in his profession in the south and has successfully operated upon many intricate and difficult cases which have given him wide influence and prestige. For a number of years he has held the chair of clinical surgery at the Mehary Medical college, and is regarded as one of the institution's foremost lecturers. He himself is a graduate of the Mehary Medical college, and for several years was the proprietor of Wilson's infirmary, erected at a cost of about $20,000, which was recently destroyed by fire. Dr. Wilson will soon complete the rebuilding of the new infirmary, handsomer and more completely equipped than ever. For twelve or fifteen years Dr. Wilson has been practicing his profession among the white and colored people of this section. He has made many friends. The authorities of Collins Chapel Old Folks' Home and Hospital, have done well to secure the services of this celebrated surgeon to direct their work, and his connection therewith will give added confidence to and widen the influence of this young institution. The tremendous affair undertaken by a single congregation of Memphis in the beginning, which later enlisted the support of the West Tennessee, Arkansas. Little Rock and the Mississippi conferences of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church bids fair to be a greater success than its promoters have even dreamed of. If a hospital can succeed, Dr. J. T. Wilson is the man who will make it succeed. In the meantime he does not relinquish his connection with Meharray Medical college. Fiftieth Anniversary of Freedom. Public meetings in observance of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the proclamation of emancipation are scheduled to be held in many of the large cities on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1913. These celebrations will be followed by extensive preparations for holding big expositions in many of the states later in the year, at which the progress of the race during the fifty years of freedom will be shown. Work of Twentieth Century Club. The Twentieth Century club of Portland, Ore, held its last social session for 1912 recently at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Anderson on Evrert street. The meeting was well attended and highly interesting. The club is doing splendid work in keeping alive the social and literary spirit among its members in the community. MEANING OF THE MOVEMENT Executive Committee of New Forward Movement Among Baptists Holds Year End Meeting in Nashville—Organized Sunday School Classes Chief Topic—Energy of Henry Allen Boyd. Nashville, Tennessee—This historic city and educational center is to come into the limelight even more brilliant than ever before as a religious denominational center, where all races and reeds may truly call it "Jerusalem," if the plan adopted by the executive committee of the National Metoka and Galeda organized class movement, which held its meeting at the National Baptist publishing house, Tuesday, Dec. 24, are carried out. The entire matter, as agreed upon by the executive committee, is practicable and feasible, and for that reason the city as a whole will gain much in the culmination of the plans now under way. It is calculated that the proposed new movement will bring a larger influence upon the Sunday school forces and benefit Nashville from the organized Sunday school class point of view as no other denominational movement of recent years has done. According to the idea of the committee, the central organization, or the headquarters of the Metoka and Galeda classes of the United States, is to be made at Nashville. Offices are to be opened and paraparmalia will be made and kept on hand and periodicals for the classes sent out; in fact, a bee hive of workers will be the ultimate aim of the central organization. Among the first steps taken were an agreement for co-operation between the executive committee and the local workers, the drafting of plans for this central organization, and the opening of a regular correspondence with every organized class throughout the United States. The National Post-Union Review has pledged its support in giving space to whatever the central organization may prepare for publication, thus acting as a lever for this movement. Editor Crenshaw, who was present and spoke at length, declared that the material and opportunity for furthering such plans, as had been outlined by the committee, was to be found within reach of Nashville, almost under the shadow of the publishing board. The organized clubs movement was started at the Sunday school congress at Meridian, Miss., two years ago and is perhaps the first distinctively Negro organization of classes in any of the denominations of the race. The selection of the unique name, "Metoka," which is Greek, anglicized, meaning "fellowship," is designated for the men's classes. The word "Galeda" is Hebrew, which translated means "the heap of witnesses" and is the name of the class for young ladies. The secretary of the Sunday school congress, Henry A. Boyd, stated that all schools were eligible to representation by classes and that he expected classes to be organized in every one of the 20,000 schools which are now members of the Sunday school congress. The superintendent of the teacher training course, Dr. Plus, stated that in three or four years this organization would have a membership of 100,000 throughout the United States. It was stated that after the holiday season plans would be completed and made public for the publication of a Metoka and Galeda magazine in the interest of the organized classes, supporting them in every way to bring the classes up to the standard that has been set for them. This magazine, with the support of 1,000 classes already organized, will have the largest circulation at birth of any religious journal that has been published in Nashville. It is stated on good authority that these classes will rally as a unit to the support of this magazine. At present the paraphernula for the classes consists of charters, pennants, buttons, pins, badges, constitutions and bylaws, watch fobs, invitation cards and charts. At the central organization, which will maintain elaborate headquarters, will be the offices of the superintendent of the teacher training course, the Sunday school colporteurs, missionaries and, in fact, the entire national executive committee, with national officers, will be logically headquarters here, giving to Nashville another mammoth department connected with the national Baptist publishing board that will equal if not surpass the magnificent strides already made in leading other cities of the United States for denominational endeavor. Anniversary of the Dorcas Society. The thirty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Dorcas Home Missionary society of the Concord Baptist church, in Brooklyn, was duly observed by the members of the organization on Thursday, Dec. 19. Mrs. Alice W. Seay, president of the society, has filled that position acceptably for twenty years. Mrs. Anna A. Perkins, the general secretary, and Mrs. Sarah A. Moles, treasurer, have served in their respective positions for a quarter of a century. FIRST AID TO INJURED. Practical Work of Dr. A. M. Curtis For the Colored Youth. Dr. A. M.* Curtis, one of the race's foremost surgeons and former surgeon in chief of Freedmen's hospital. in Washington, is winning new laurels as an instructor on timely medical topics through his course of lectures on "First Aid to the Injured," given twice a week at the Y. M. C. A. during the winter season of 1912-13. The commodious gymnasium and its fine athletic appointments are utilized by Dr. Curtis for practical demonstrations in the art of administering first aid to the victims of accidents or sudden illness, and a large number of bright young men have registered in the classes for the systematic instruction that is being offered. Each lecture is attended by prominent medical experts and officers from the Central Y. M. C. A., who evince a deep interest in the important work that Dr. Curtin is doing. At the conclusion of the first term an examination will be held to test the knowledge of the matriculants, and a diploma is to be issued in due form to those who graduate. Experience in administering first aid to the injured is the great need of modern life. It is of especial value to those who take part in athletics, to persons who travel by land or sea and to the ordinary citizen who goes in and out among us on the city streets. In forming these classes Dr. Curtis is doing much to extend the Y. M. C. A.'s scope of usefulness to the colored youth of the nation's capital. DR. M. F. SYDES A BENEDICT. Popular Baltimore Pastor Marries Miss Blanche Hill In Zanoville. Zanesville, O.-Miss Blanche E. Hill and the Rev. Dr. Marion F. Sydes, pastor of Waters African Methodist Episcopal church, Baltimore, were married at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Washington Hill, 442 W. Main street, Zanesville, O., Wednesday, Dec. 25. Owing to a recent death in the bride's family, the wedding was a quiet one. Bishop Joshua H. Jones officiated. Dr. and Mrs. Sydes were tendered a reception by the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Daniel P. Seaton, at 1013 T street, Washington, on the evening of Dec. 26. The following evening the newly REV. DR. MARION F. SYDER. wedded couple were the guests of honor at a reception at Waters church, Baltimore. The reception was largely attended, many of the prominent residents being in the throng. Among the many presents was a handsome token from the Baltimore A. M. E. ministers' meeting. The bride is a native of Zanesville and became acquainted with Dr. Sydes during his pastorate in Ohio. She was educated in the public schools of Zanesville and Wilberforce university. For the past five years she has been a teacher in the Baltimore public schools. The groom was also educated at Wilberforce and has pastored in various sections of the country. Dr. Sydes has been a widower for some time. His only daughter, Miss Ruth M. Sydes, is a teacher in the Norfolk (Va.) Mission college. Dr. and Mrs. Sydes will be at home at 427 Alsquith street, Baltimore, after Jan. 1. President Thompson Wants Results. In order to secure an accurate list of papers published by members of the race as speedily as possible, President R. W. Thompson of the National Negro Press association has suggested that each member of the executive committee secure a list of such papers published in the state which he represents and forward the same to the president at 908 S street, northwest, Washington. This is a wise suggestion and shows that the president is alive to the interest of the organization. The chairman of the executive committee and the corresponding secretary of the association are in need of such information, as they are constantly receiving requests for information concerning papers published by colored Americans. Atlanta Behind in Y. M. C. A. Work. The leaders in the work of the Atlanta (Ga.) branch of the Young Men's Christian association are making an energetic effort to collect the remainder of $40,741 of the $52,000 subscribed for the new needing help, and to urge them to pay up as soon as possible in order to have the work completed early in 1913. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Walving the question about the northern negro's being a fool, since we can't get anywhere on that line, let us ask if there be any other reason for this divergence in conduct between the northern negro and his southern brother in this matter of race patronage. First, we must admit the humiliating and somewhat anomalous fact that the negro would rather trade or do business with anybody else on earth than with a negro. Why? Probably the correct answer lies in the fact that he was for two and a half centuries a slave and because of his having emerged from that condition only yesterday so to speak. He has never yet learned the dynamic force of massed dollars, massed strength or purpose, nor has he the inclination to think comprehensively regarding race welfare or even of his children's welfare. This, too, traces back to slavery. Now, why is the New York negro so much more of a delinquent with respect to patronizing race enterprises than is his Houston brother? Is it not largely due to difference in environment? Would the Houston negro, or the southern negro be any better than the northern negro in this respect if he were not forced by surrounding circumstances to be so? After all, does he possess any more race pride and race loyalty than the northern negro? Isn't it a fact—a damning fact—that nine-tenths of the negro business enterprises in the south, including restaurants, would be forced to the wall if the white man were to relax in his prejudices and discriminations? Of course he's not going to do so, and we're not at all sorry that he's not. The rigor of this prejudice and discrimination and universal disdain toward the negro is developing in him many of those sterling virtues of which slavery robbed him—Dallas Express. We are glad that the Houston Negro is different from his New York brother. In New York when a Negro wants a glass of beer, he goes to a white saloon. If he is not properly treated in the first saloon he goes to another white saloon, and keeps it up until he finally gets a glass from a white saloon. There are Negro saloons in old New York, but they just manage to pay rent. The average northern negro will walk ten blocks out of his way to spend a dollar where he is not welcomed, and the well dressed fool will not patronize his own business, though it is next door to him. The Houston Progress. The bright days are the ones we remember the longest. Wherever we read of a group of negroes elsewhere than in negro towns there is this trace of a disincination on his part to do business with his own people. Always it is the desire to get away—away from the race in every way possible. Had not the white man set up innumerable barriers against us, there would be small hopes for us as a race. But by reason of those barriers we're turned back upon ourselves and in the phrase of Macbeth. "We're tied to the stake and bear-like must fight the course." It is said that one reason why Moses kept the children of Israel forty years in the wilderness was to bring about that race consciousness, race solidarity, which Egyptian slavery had effaced. Let us hope that one great purpose runs through all the ages. A college professor who can translate Greek, Syriac and read Sanscrit without spectacles nearly lost his life because he could not climb down a fire escape; yet some men still deny that higher education fits a man for action. There are some who contend that the life of the grapevine is longer than that of the oak. It is rare that a wild grapevine is found that has died of old age. Pliny mentions a vine 600 years old. "There is a vine at Hampton Court, England, planted in 1769, while here in America there is a wild grapevine on the shores of Mobile bay, within a mile of Daphne, Ala., commonly known as the "General Jackson" vine, more than six feet in circumference at its base. There is a grapevine in Carpenteria, Cal., under which more than 600 persons may stand. Its trunk is eight feet in diameter at the base and it has borne as high as ten tons of fruit. It is said that this vine was planted in 1842. Boston frames a humiliating indictment against us. She calls her troleys "pre-payment cars." When you can not think of anything else to do, think of how much you have to be thankful for. There are people who expect to step into heaven on the old shoes they send to the rummage sale. When we find out what God is able to do for us we know what he is willing to do. The man who will go out of his way to kick a dog isn't desired anywhere. Some while back (writes a Cairo, Egypt, correspondent of the Fall Mall Gazette) it was announced that a little worm had been discovered which was a deadly enemy of the redoubtable cotton worm and invariably devoured it. Apropos of this the following is rather amusing: The editors of the Mokattatt, hearing that specimens of this little pest had been found on their cotton estates, caused three of them to be sent to them in Cairo, so that the authorities might examine them. The specimens were sent off from Benha in a sealed box, which duly reached its destination intact. Judge of their astonishment when, on opening the box, only one specimen remained; there was absolutely no trace of the other two, so there could be but one conclusion—l. e., that the solitary inmate had eaten up his two companions. This was confirmed by the "postmortem" examination, and now the question presents itself as to whether the alleged devoucher of the cotton worm will, when bred in quantities, as the authorities intended to do, continue to show its "cannibal" tendencies and so defeat its own end, or whether it will afford the assistance to the cotton worm campaign which, before this little episode, the agricultural authorities claimed for and expected from it. We should like to see a picture of the man who can always please himself and his wife at the same time. Trees in watersheds have a beneficial effect, according to the last annual report of the board of water commissioners of Middleton, Conn., in which it is recommended that 46.725 trees be set out at Higby reservoir. The benefits to be derived from a growth of trees on the watershed of the reservoir are said to be the following: The roots of the trees hold the soil and to a great extent prevents its wash into the reservoir; the leaves and twigs that fall form a covering on the ground that protects the soil from the wash of the rainfall; they also absorb a large quantity of water and let it flow off gradually to the reservoir, thus continuing to be a benefit to a water supply for a long time and after a cleared land would be dry; the foliage of the trees forms a canopy which serves to lessen the effect of evaporation upon the surface of the ground. Success seldom comes to a man until late in the game. By the time he is in a position to get all the ple he wants he is a dyspeptic. The man that is always so anxious to avoid his own people in public places; the one that refuses to live in localities populated by his own color; the business man that neglects to patronize his colored brother who is in business, are all made to feel the snuba insults and scorns of the white man he would ape, and made to plainly feel that so far as he (the white man) is concerned he has nothing for the black man other than to get his money at a great per cent of profit and a higher rate of interest and sometimes even his money is not wanted. It is time that colored people stood together at all times on all issues and conditions. No one is it to be called a man who is ashamed of his race. It is absolutely imperative that we stop and reason on the adage, "In union there is strength." and get together and stay together.—The Detroit Leader. What color would it not have given to my thoughts, and that thrilled whiteness to my words, had I been fed on women's praises.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. In order to indicate to our brethren in the north what progress is being made in this neck of the woods, your correspondent desires to make it known that for three weeks in succession the Atlanta Constitution, the leading white daily paper in this section of the country, has devoted from four to eight pages to exhibiting the progress of our people in Atlanta and vicinity. The colored business concerns in Atlanta had large display ad vertirements in same paper. A man who is known to have broken many hearts is naturally invested with a tantalizing charm to women who have yet hearts to be broken. Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen. Typhoid fever, it is estimated, costs Americans about $100,000,000 a year and no person who has had the disease will ever say it is worth the money.

Gov. Cole "Blate" Blease of South Carolina, paroled five convicts, New Years day. One was a murderer. Of course they were all white. That earthquake, last week, made a great mistake in shaking up only North Carolina. It must have been intended for "Blate" Blease's state, and possibly the whole south. A poor white woman in Louisiana, last week, gave birth to five children, and the "crackers" of the south are, it is said, all "chesty" as a result, claiming they are at last leaders in something--prolificness. Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas, one of the Blease, Dixon, Tillman, Vardaman, Heilfn and Roddenberry kidney, is dead. Thank God, for all blessings. Wonder if more are to follow, soon? "Battling Jim" Johnson, another Afro-American heavyweight pugilist, living down in Tennessee, will bear watching. Few fighters have ever been able to knock down Joe Jeanette. Russia has ended sertford, as far as law is concerned, it is announced. But O! the practice in that country! It has not ended sertford by a good deal. Poor Russians and Jews are treated far worse than our people in the south, and thousands of poor Irish in Ireland. As will be noticed, in the interview republished in our local columns, page 3, Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards of the U. S. Army, does not take any "stock" in the daily newspaper "rot" about eliminating the four Afro-American regiments from the army. He doubtless realizes, as The Gazette stated several weeks ago, that prejudiced daily newspaper reporters and correspondents are simply trying to create and encourage such an effort. They will hardly succeed, however. AS TO THAT CHAMPIONSHIP! Either Joe Jeannette, Sam Langford or Sam McVey, to say nothing of champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, Jack Johnson, can wiph Luther McCarty (white) who whipped Al Palzer, near Los Angeles Cal, New Years day in eighteen rounds, and all the sporting world knows it. What a sorry, silly spectacle is presented then, by the cheap, prejudiced sport-writers of daily papers when they claim the "McCarey belt championship" (whatever that may be) for McCarty as a result of his defeat of Palzer. That Jack Johnson has married his second white wife and "had" a whole carload of white "women" does not in the least alter his championship status, and the whole sporting world knows this, too. For WHAT, as a rule, is a pugilist, or black, from a civilized, moral or any ethical viewpoint? It is the merest shortense to claim that the most nonsense to murder, and we doubt that even it, would or could alter a pugilist's championship status in the sporting world of today. Therefore, the sorry "figure" being "cut," these days, by the aforementioned prejudiced and asinine daily newspaper sport - writers, eager to filch from Jack Johnson a championship they can find no white man in all this wide, wide world of ours, to win. Isn't it rich? If they had some of the pride of the poor ignorant peacock they would not be making such public "shows" of themselves to the newspaper readers of this country and of much of the world. They seem to have quite forgotten that their "moral" objections to Johnson, which they express only to try (in vain) to cover their prejudice, do not hold good in the cases of that husky trio, the three best heavyweights in the world next to Jack; namely Langford, Jeannette and McVey. Won't at least one of our leading white publications be many enough to also call their attention to the fact? THE APPEAL TO THE MOB. The Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of last Tuesday, in concluding an excellent editorial article on "The Appeal to the Mob" makes the following observations which we commend to the attention of all. "The question searches out the very heart of the problem, and there can be only one answer. Once surrendered to a mob of outraged and excited men the right of punishment without recourse to the courts and unrestrained by any responsibility for their acts, anarchy is the sure result. This is no theory. It has been proven again, and again, as is testified to in the fact that out of every hundred lynchings which occur to-day, less than twenty-five are for crimes against women. The law of the land is not a thing of units, separate and distinct each from the other. It is one cohesive armor, for the protection of the individual against aggression of whatever kind or character, and if a rent be made in it anywhere the whole fabric falls to pieces, and must fall. Give men to understand that it is debasing or unnecessary for them to resort to it in one case and it will not be long until they will have lost all respect for it and will refuse to abide by it in any case. A people must feel that they must trust it wholly or they will not trust it at all. This is why the incendiary utterances and acts of a man like Gov. Blease are so appalled! Outside of South Carolina they may serve as the theme for flippant comment, within the State all thoughtful men must know that they can only breed confusion and anarchy. And their efforts will be all the worse because they come from a man who has established a new record for the extension of clemency to rapists and those guilty of crimes against children; who has not hesitated to turn loose upon the community men who have been duly convicted of assaults for which he urges lynching as a proper remedy." BLEASE, AN ASININE SPECTACLE. Gov. Cole Blease need not have any Dogbear solicitude about having himself "set down an ass." The South Carolina executive has set himself down most faithfully as being decidedly asinine. His rantings in laudation of lynching have been the disgusting feature of the governors' conference at Richmond and have evoked several very pointed thrusts at him by other governors present at the conference. With consummate asinity, he has assumed a Napoleonic attitude, defied the canons of law and order and bombastically declared that, if the constitution should stand between him and defence of the virtue of the women of South Carolina, he would have the constitution consigned to the infernal regions—to express it a bit more mildly than the demagogic gubernatorial rater. The people of South Carolina should call home this imitation of Vardaman of Mississippi, and keep him as quiet as possible until the next State election, when a man with a sense of the proprieties and with decent regard for the law and the orderly processes of society should be substituted for the volcanic Blease. This bunch of sounding human brass should be thrown into the political scrap heap, where he would make less noise. The unspeakable crime against women cannot be suppressed by lynching, as has been demonstrated. Let the laws for punishment of this heinous offence be made more rigorous and let the Bleases devote their energies towards having the law enforced, strictly and promptly. This will accomplish far more than lynching ever will—Pasadena (Cal.) Star. THE REPORTER. Among the sons of men there is none who really knows a great city except the man who has been a reporter in it. He has sounded its depths. He has come to know the house of crime, the house of worship and the house of festival. He is familiar with the church and with the nether world. He has seen the greater and the lesser wheels of administrative machinery in motion. He has learned how to reach that supreme potentate, the police sergeant, behind his desk, and how to unravel and knit together the varying tales of bystanders. The streets of the city are known to him, bared in gray morn, when the vast commissary of a great city is converging on the markets, thronged by the rising and ebbing tides of those who go to their work and return from it jostling in the crowded hours, suddenly empty in mid eve as the tide sweep strips the estuary of its water and full again when the theaters empty, writes Talcott Williams in the Columbia Quarterly. He knows the streets of danger full of news, and the streets of safety full of newspaper readers, comfort clogged. He comes to have an instinct as to the trail of news, and he discovers, as perhaps no other man does, how often the intelligent, the educated, the well bred, and the advantaged are dull and hackneyed by a safe life, and how keen and swift and quick comes to be the great guerrilla hordes that knows the street as its hunting ground and wins by wit and not by work. Not Much Difference "Do you act towards your wife as you did before you married her?" "Exactly. I remember just how I used to act when I first fell in love with her. I used to hang over the fence in front of her house and gaze at her shadow on the curtain, afraid to go in. And I act just the same way now when I get home late." Not All Owing to Wife. "Biggins says he owes everything to his wife." "That isn't true," replied Biggins' father-in-law. "His wife quit lending him anything years ago and then he started in owing me."—Washington Star.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1913. Funeral Services Largely Attended in Both Cities—Impressive Ceremony. Charleston, W.Va.—Following impressive ceremonies, Dec. 27, at her sister, Mrs. E. C. Berry's beautiful home in Athens, O., her former home, Mrs. Lillian Madre Starks' remains were brought here for burial beside of her husband, Mr. Samuel W. Starks, grand chancellor of our K. P., when in life. The funeral was conducted at the family residence on Shrewbury St. Dec. 26, Rev. B. R. Rehman of the First Epiphany church, officiated, assisted by Rev. J. S. Carroll, pastor of Simpson M. E. church, and Rev. J. H. Sheen, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church. Prof. J. F. Clarke had charged of the funeral arrangements. Only the family and intimate friends witnessed the beautiful impressive ceremony. Rev. Reed, of whose church Mrs. Starks was a member, spoke of the beauty of her life as a Christian, and said truly that she was a devoted mother to hosts of friends in Athens where she spent her childhood, in Charleston where she had made her home the past four years, and very sadly missed by the aged, invalid mother of her husband for whom she so tenderly cared. The members of the family attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Berry, of Athens; Miss Anna Carter, Gallipolis; Mr. Carl and Miss Minnie Bell, of Athens, and Mr. Hugh Miller, Reville, Athens. Among the towns where she served, Prof. I. O. Wilson, of Weston; Prof J. R. Jefferson, Parkersburg; Mrs. Georgia Cooley and Mr. and Mrs. Hawk, of Athens. Those from out of town attending the funeral services at Athens, O., were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Carter, Misses Marie and Grace Carter of Gallipolis, Powell Carter, of Chicago, Mrs. Virginia Powell and Miss Anna Cox, of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Berry of Cincinnati; Rev. N. Merritt and Mr. Hugh Miller, of Rendville; Rev. Ballard Brooks and Elwood Furguson, of Charleston, W. Va. WATCH "BIG JIM"! He Is "Coming" Fast—Jeanette Is Knocked Down, but Outpoints Battling Jim Johnson. New York City.—Joe Jeannette started the new year auspiciously with a victory over "Battling Jim" Johnson in a ten-round bout at the Irving Athletic club, Brooklyn, Jan. 1. It was Jeannette's clever boxing and ring generalship that won him a hard task decision; he had a hard task decision the lide threw in against him in the first round. Johnson's great bulk, strength and awkward way of fighting was an enigma hard to solve, but Joe managed to outpoint him. Jeannette weighed 194½ pounds and Johnson 210. Johnson scored the only knock-down of the bout. He did the trick in the first round with a singing land that landed on Joe's jaw. Joe jumped up on him. Before he could clinch Johnson was on top of him and forced him to the ropes with a hard right to the neck. Joe then clinched, steadied himself, stepped back and jabbed Johnson's face till the bell rang. It was their third battle. In two previous encounters Jeannette had won on points. On both occasions he looked big today, but not unduly weighted down with too much flesh, as he had trained down from 225 pounds to 210. A Prolific White Woman. Abbyville, La. —Five male children, all perfectly formed, were born Jan. 1 to Mrs. Audrey Lassen, wife of a carpenter. Two of the children were dead at birth, but the others lived. The babies were born at intervals of from 5 minutes to more than an hour. The smallest of the children weighed twenty-two ounces and the largest tipped the scales at slightly over five pounds. Mrs. Lassen has three other children, two of them twins and born two years ago. All three of these are boys. She is 28 and her husband is about four years her senior. Mrs. Lassen, weighs nearly 200 pounds. WHAT ABOUT JOHNSON, LANG- (Ed. Bang in Cleveland Daily News.) Three cheers for the heavyweight champion of the whites, Luther McCarty, who came into his laurels Wednesday at Vernon, Cal. Also a tiger. Then let's stop and think for a moment. What about Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette & Co.? Are they the same person? McCarty will his spurs by knocking out Al Kautman, Jim Flynn and Al Palzer. Already Luther and his manager, Billy McCarney, have gone on record as saying that the gate is closed against all Colored heavyweights. Of course that means Johnson, Langford and Jeannette, was probably a wise move from McCarney. With this trio, any one of whom would probably knock Luther out inside of 10 rounds. Langford and Jeannette are clever millers and hard hitters. They have battled with some of the best heavyweights in the world and have generally brought home the bacon. As for Johnson, well, we all know what Jack has done. Remember a few years ago when Johnson won from Tommy Burns in Australia to prove the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. But it was not a clear title, for every time Jim Jeffries' name was mentioned he was referred to as "the undefeated champion of the world." Then on July 4, 1910, Johnson removed the stain from his title by knocking out Jeff. What was right and just in the fight game three years ago should be equally right and just now. Jack Johnson today is just as much the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world as Jim Jeffries was three years ago, notwithstanding that the public has seen fit to retire Johnson of their own. And. And. Jack will continue the champion of the universe until such time as a better man defeats him. And if Jack should never eater the ring again he will go down in pugilistic history as the undefeated heavyweight title holder. Odessa, Jan 7—Governor General Trepoff today expelled the expulsion of Jews from the Kleiff district until spring. Surprise has been occasioned by Trepoff's attitude, as his reason for suspending the expulsion edict was that it was "too cruel to evict people their homes during the winter season."

Russell, near Cheyenne, Wyo., was at the home of his mother, Mrs. William Edwards, 2308 Prospect Av. S. E., Sunday on his way east to attend a conference of general officers of the line at Washington, Wednesday. This conference, the first of the sort, it to put into effect the plan for reorganization of the army into tactical units, by which a fighting force can be put into the field at short notice and without invulnerable under the present system, other proposal to come before the conference, it is said, is a plan to repeal the law which requires the maintenance of four regiments of Afro-American soldiers. The faecial claim that these troops are welcome neither in the south nor north is the principal "argument." Washington dispatches say the movement to eliminate them is to be headed by Brig. Gen. Marion P. Maus of the department of California. This is not believed, however. "The Ninth cavalry, Afro-American soldiers, is stationed at Fort Russell," said Brig. Gen. Edwards Sunday night. They have been on the front lines since I was born at Fort Russell, and I am say that the people of Cheyenne are anxious that they be returned to Fort Russell. There is no prejudice against them there, though, of course, speaking generally, there has been considerable feeling in the south against Afro-American troops since the alleged Brownville affair. There are few desertions among them. A large number re-enlist, and as for their efficiency as soldiers, one distinguished statesman (Roosevelt) should be willing to testify. It was the Ninth cavalry which figured so conspicuously at the battle of Juan,uba., for the service of Afro-American troops in the Philippine army can be said. I know nothing of a movement to eliminate them from the army except the 'rot' I have in the daily newspapers. But I cannot believe politics will be permitted to figure in it, any more than politics will be permitted to figure in the administration of the Philippines." HON. HARRY C. SMITH, SPEAKER. A Large and Enthusiastic Crowd Were Present and Enjoyed the Festivities. Toledo, O. Possibly the most successful, and surely the most enthusiastic and satisfying emancipation celebration ever held in this section of Ohio, was that of New Year's evening in Zenobia Theater, this city. For many weeks, a citizens' committee (J. D. Brandon, chairman), consisting of our pastors and leading men and women, has been preparing for this northeastern Ohio event—a semi-centennial celebration of emancipation. No prettier a place for it could have been selected than the new Zenobia Theater, while the day and evening was filled with the crowd. When it was announced a few weeks ago that the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, father of Ohio's civil rights law and this state's anti-lynching law, was to be the speaker of the occasion, unusual interest was created that steadily grew because of a very general desire to hear this true and tried leader of the race, and well-known speaker. That he exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine, is putting it mildly as all will willingly attest who heard him for an hour and a half, New Year's evening. Not only was his great speech greeted with round after round of spontaneous applause, but the theater resound, but at its conclusion he was urged to continue, many of the audience saying they "could sit and listen to him for hours longer." It has been many, many years since our people of this section of the state have heard anything to compare with it. Attorney Albertus Brown, well known in Cleveland, and Dr. Phillip M. Johnson, a former Cleveland, were in their "element" as a result, because it was largely on their suggestion that Mr. Smith was engaged for the occasion. He was met at the depot by Chairman Brandon and Rev. B. F. McWilliams, chairman of the finance committee, and escorted to the Hotel Pleasant, an up-to-date hostery of which P. H. Wood, a member of the race, is the proprietor. Following is the program: Music—"America" · Audience Invocation · Rev. W. E. G. Eilliam Introduction of Permanent Chairman · Attorney Ben. H. Fisher Quarter ..... Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams ..... Mr. J. F. McCoglin ..... Mrs. Lillie Stevens Reading of Proclamation ..... Clarence Fralm Violin So'o—"Intermezzo" Mascagni Miss Drusilla Tandy, accompanied by Miss Edna Tandy. Recitation—"The Octoeron" ..... Mrs. Atha Brown Stewart Song—"We Are Rising as a People" Led by Rev. J. C. Taylor Emancipation Address ..... Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland. O Benediction. Rev. W. B. Lee Every number on the program was excellent, especially so being the musical numbers and the reading of the "Octoonor" by Mrs. Adah Brown Stewart, an elocutionist of exceptional ability. Miss Drusillie is a world-class singer, a young but very promising violinist. Madam Emma French, also a former Clevelander, sang a double number (by request), accompanied by that excellent accompanist, Mrs. T. H. Randall, that proved another of the events of the entertainment. They were beautiful and artistically given. It is needless to add that the celebration was an unqualified success, and the citizens' committee is to be highly complimented and thanked. Mr. and Mrs. Albert French entertained at a chickened and duck dinner, the counting, in honor of the editor of The Gazette, Dr. P. M. Johnson, Rev. W. E. Gilliam and Mr. E. B. Wanza, one of our leading local business men. Mr. Smith left Thursday, for Cleveland, thoroughly pleased with his visit here. Come again. Empty Feast. "Why did you leave that boarding-house?"

Her legs and arms are gnarled from the numerous fractures. Physicians who have treated the girl say her bones lack some element. ‘They are soft and spongy. Her leg bones are not strong enough to sup- port her and the least far or shock results in a fracture. ‘When she was barely two years old, Just beginning to walk, her leg bones first broke. Her parents believed she had fallen too heavily. Later, as she ‘was growing, every now and then a bone would break. Sometimes it was the shin, more frequently the thigh, and ceeasionally a bone of the foot. Fortunately for the girl, she did not suffer as much pain from these frac- tures as do others under normal con- ditions, but as she grew older the fractures became more painful and she suffered greatly. It was neces- sary to treat the fractures the same as in other cases and thé child spent fully one half of her time lying help- less with her legs in splints. Not only her legs, but her arms were affected similarly. The arms ‘were not broken as often as the legs, however, as they did not bear her weight. But every little jar or push with her hands meants a fractured arm or wrist. ‘The parents of the girl say they do not know how many times their daughter's bones have been fractured. ‘They know of seventy times that her legs have been broken, but they have Kept no count of the other breaks.

Allen, a farmer living near here, is the owner of a Scotch collle dog which he high- Ty values because it is a good corn husker, The animal will go out in the field with Allen's employes and Keep up with many of them in corn hhusking, When the season opened the dps followed the wagoit and with appar- ent interest watched the process of husking. Finally the animal ran to one of the corn stalks and, standing ‘on his hind feet, pulled down the stalk, grabbed the ear and broke it off with his teeth. With teeth and forepaws he husked the ear and then ran and yielded 1t to his master to be thrown into the wagon, Highly pleased with his first efforts, the animal ran to another stalk and repeated the operation again and again. ‘The dog Is a year and a half old ‘and this season Allen claims he has husked hundreds of bushels of corn Only one trouble has arisen: the animal's claws are beginning to wear down from the husking and Allen is considering fastening some kind of a husking peg on his front feet so the animal can husk the corn and not ‘wear down his claws, a Oe a ee a St. Louis, Mo—James Wilson of this elty has ordered a new nose.
