Sesquational losses in corn, a record yield of wheat and the third largest crop of oats were features of the government September crop report issued by the department of agriculture. The aggregate of the five leading grain crops is 4,374,000 bushels, a loss from last year's final returns of 1,159,000,000 bushels, or 20 per cent. The loss in the corn crop alone is 28 per cent. United States officials at Washington ordered the cruiser Des Moines to hurry from Guantanamo to Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo, and arranged to have the revenue cutter steam to Mona Passage to act as a wireless relay station in consequence of the receipt of news that Dominican gunboats were shelling Puerto Plata, endangered American lives and property. Lack of a quorum prevented the passage of the urgent deficiency appropriation bill by the house at Washington; after considerable debate a provision abolishing the commerce court was written into the bill. . . . One of the last vestiges of old time Washington will be destroyed in a few days when the government begins the raiding of buildings near the capitol that have been condemned to make room for the new park between the capitol and Union station. The residence of George Washington constructed from two houses in 1789-99 is one of the structures that will go down. The house commerce committee at Washington is considering plans for a $4,000,000 bridge over the Potomac river. It will link the national capital wiith Virginia. Domestic Twenty-five buildings were swept by flames, including the opera house and Congregational church, at Newburyport, Mass. The body of a chauffer, was found in the ruins of the garage.

Woodward, a wealthy dentist, who died in New York recently, left an endowment for the dental school of Tulane university at New Orleans that eventually will reach $33,000. This sum goes to the school upon the death of several relatives, for whose benefit it now forms a trust fund. Eight persons killed was the nation's tell to the automobile on Sunday. In an opinion to the district attorney of Burnett county, Wisconsin, Attorney General Owen held that it is a violation of the statute to sell liquor to a forbidden person, and that to prove one guilty of such an offense does not require proof that the forbidden person drank the liquor. --- Gov. George W. Hays of Arkansas announced that he had been authorized by the National Red Cross society to draw on that organization for $1,000 for the benefit of the fire sufferers at Hot Springs.

Thirty-five persons were injured in a wreck on the Pennsylvania railway near Wylie's Station, near New Madison, O. That twenty or more passengers were not killed is ascribed to the fact that the train was composed of all steel cars. Harry Orchard, self-confessed assassin of former Gov. Frank Steenburg of Idaho, and ut one time sentenced to be hanged, will apply in October for an absolute pardon. The Metropolitan church of Waukesha, Wis., is alding him.

Sessions of the Illinois Christian Women's Board of Missions will be held in connection with the Illinois Christian Missionary society and the exercises will extend through Thursday. --- With the "white slavery" cases against Maury I. Diggs and F. Drew Cammetti finished, the government turned its attention to preparation for the trial of Diggs and his former attorney, Charles B. Harris of Sacramento, Cal., on charges in connection with Diggs' defense. Mrs. Merian Hammerstein began a supreme court action in New York for $60,000 damages against William Hammerstein, one of the sons of Oscar Hammerstein, whom she charges with alienating the affections of her husband, Abraham Hammerstein, also a zeen of the impressario. She is known on the vaudeville stage as Miriam Henriques. Speaker John A. Peters (Republican) of Ellsworth was elected congressman from the Third Maine district to succeed the late Forrest Goodwin (Republican) at the special election. Mr. Peters' plurality over Mayor William Pattangall (Democrat) of Waterville was 553. His vote exceeded that of Edward M. Lawrence (Progressive) of Lubec by about 8,600. Bats, a black winged flock of them, invaded the senate at Washington while it was struggling toward a belated adjournment in the tariff debate and created a small panic. --- The city of New York has begun an auction sale of property upon which taxes are in arrears, including real estate belonging to the Duchess of Talleyrand, formerly Anna Gould; Hette Green, "Big Tim" Sullivan, Howard Gould, H.

Seven out of the crew of 23 were saved. A son was born to the duchess of Roxburghe of England. The baby is a boy principally because his mother, who was Miss May Goelet of New York, ate no food containing sugar for months before his advent. The German aviator, Senge, fell while making a flight and was killed in Prussia. Gus Lawson, an American cyclist, and Scheuermann, a German rider, were killed and Meinhold, the German's pacemaker, was probably fatally injured at Cologne, Germany, in a motor-paced bicycle race for the 100-kilometer championship. The streets of Rome were guarded by police, carbinees and troops, from the Church of St. John Lateran, where the Catholic athletes heard mass, to St. Peter's cathedral, to which edifice they marched to be received by the pope. Personal Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane fell in a fall at Oakland, Cal., while reviewing the Admission day parade of the Native Sons organization. His condition is not serious.

SUPREME LODGE SHOWS STRENGTH Past Chancellors Not Delegates Prohibited From Voting In Grand Lodge Sessions—Court of Calanthe Also Met—New Supreme Keeper of Records and Seals Elected. Baltimore. After a most eventful meeting of several days the seventeenth biennial session of the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias and the fifteenth biennial session of the Supreme Court of Calanthe closed here the last week in August to meet in Columbus, Q., in 1914. The meeting came to an end with great relief to the delegates after a whole day had been spent in adopting and rejecting proposed changes in the constitution. Among the amendments adopted was one prohibiting past chancellors not delegates from voting in grand lodge sessions. The delegates voted to sustain the action of Supreme Chancellor S. W. E. E. UNDERWOOD. Green in suspending the Virginia grand lodge and ordering its dissolution. The grand lodge of that state was suspended some time ago following its refusal to pay certain taxes and for allegations of extravagance on the part of the management of the supreme lodge. The charges were made by John Mitchell, Jr., grand chancellor for Virginia, Mr. Mitchell and his delegation appeared here, but were denied admission, their case being referred to the committee on credentials. The Virginia delegation, it is said, tendered $2,500 as full payment for all taxes due, but this was refused, as the supreme lodge officials claimed that $2,000 was due. Mitchell filed notice with Supreme Chancellor Green that a writ for an order restraining the supreme lodge from continuing the suspension and dissolving his jurisdiction would be filed in the United States court at Richmond on Sept. 25. There were two rival sets of delegates claiming admission from Oklahoma. One was headed by Dr. A. H. Tyson and the other by W. H. Harrison. The latter were seated. C. K. Robinson of St. Louis attacked the administration in his biennial report as supreme keeper of records and seal. He lost his position after having served eighteen successive years. Dr. E. E. Underwood of Frankfort, Ky., was unanimously elected to that position. George A. Watty, grand chancellor for Maryland, was rewarded for his efforts in entertaining the session with election to the position of supreme master at arms. J. Rupert Jefferson of West Virginia entered the race for supreme chancellor, but was easily defeated by S. W. Green, who has held the position since 1908. The officers of the supreme court of Calanthe are Joseph L. Jones, Cincinnati, supreme worthy counsel; Mrs. R. Barnes, Louisiana, supreme instructor; Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson, Missouri, supreme inspector; Mrs. J. M. Hazlewood, West Virginia, supreme orator; Mrs. C. A. Curt, Illinois, supreme worthy register of deeds; Mrs. A. D. Key, Texas, supreme receiver of deposits; Mrs. F. M. Crosby, Albama, supreme escort; Mrs. Corn M. Allen, Louisiana, supreme directress; Mrs. L. B. Reid, Florida, supreme directress; Mrs. Ann J. Wallace, Mississippi, supreme conductress; Mrs. Bertha Reid, Indiana, herald herald. Dr. Underwood, the new supreme keeper of records and seal, was born in Ohio. He began life as a schoolteacher. Later he studied medicine at Western university. He went to Frankfurt, Ky., twenty-two years ago and has succeeded in building up a large practice. He is one of the proprietors of the People's pharmacy in Frankfurt. He has been active in the political life of his state and has served as assistant city physician of Frankfurt. He has given up the position of secretary of the board of pension surgeons after twelve years of service and was a delegate at large to the Republican national convention in 1904. He is also very active in the fraternal orders of his state and wrote the present endowment law under which the Knights of Pythias of Kentucky have accumulated $900,000. FIRST WEEK OF JUBILEE.

Lee NEW YORK'S EQUAL RIGHTS LAW BECOMES EFFECTIVE Measure Fathered by Assemblyman Levy to Check Discrimination. New York.—The new "equal rights" bill, of which Assemblyman Aaron J. Levy of New York city is the author, became effective throughout New York state on Sept. 1. The statute forbids discrimination against any person in any place of public accommodation because of race, color or creed. The penalty for violation of the new law is a fine of from $100 to $200 or imprisonment for thirty or ninety days. The text of the bill is very carefully worded and reads in part as follows: "All persons within the jurisdiction of this state shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages and privileges of any place of public accommodation, resort or amusement, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to all persons. A place of public accommodation, resort or amusement within the meaning of this article shall be deemed to include any inn, tavern or hotel, whether conducted for the entertainment of transient guests or for the accommodation of those seeking health, recreation or rest, any restaurant, eating house, public convergence on land or water, bathhouse, barber shop, theater and music ball." The new law also forbids the use of display signs to the effect that certain classes of persons are not wanted or will not be accommodated. The part of the law referring to this phase of discrimination says: "No person being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent or employee of any such place shall directly or indirectly refuse, withhold from or deny to any person any of the accommodations, advantages or privileges thereof nor directly or indirectly publish, circulate, issue, display, post or fault any written or printed communication, notice or advertisement to the effect that any of the accommodations, advantages and privileges of any such place shall be refused, withheld from or denied to any person on account of race or color or that the patronage or custom threaten of any person belonging to or purporting to be of any particular race, creed or color is unwelcome, objectionable or not acceptable, desired or solicited. "The production of any such written or printed communication, notice or advertisement purporting to relate to any such place and to be made by any person being the owner, lessee, proprietor, superintendent or manager thereof shall be presumptive evidence in any civil or criminal action that the same was authorized by such person." Scranton's Enterprising Business Man. Among the business enterprises operated by colored men in Scranton, Pa. rarely found among our people is a large storage warehouse owned by George W. Brown. The building, which was recently completed, is modern in every respect. The business is valued at $25,000 and is increasing rapidly. Mr. Brown is well thought of by his neighbors, and his influence is widely felt. WESTERN RESEEVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 5, 1883, SINCE. EMBER 13. 1913. USEFUL LIFE OF RECTOR J. E. KING Success of a Virginian In North Carolina. UPLIFTER OF THE LOWLY. Beneficial Work of Man Who Forsook Barbars' Trade For the Ministry and What He Has Accomplished as Minister and Missionary to the Unfortunate of Both Races. By GEORGE F. KING. Charlotte, N. C.—One of the leading characters in this state in working for the uplift of the unfortunate is the Rev. James E. King, rector of St. Michael's and All Angels' Protestant Episcopal church, this city. He is a man possessed of humble virtues. His culture, sanity, splendid imagination, wit, courage and vigor have made him a factor among all classes of citizens. He is a concrete example of the principle that greatness in any form is an accumulation of little deeds having been done for the good of some one beetle of many species that make for the coercion of the people being. A number of years ago the Rev. Mr. King left his native state, Virginia, and came to North Carolina. He was then a barber and made himself an artist at his work; but, having a deep spiritual awakening that was a real joy for him, he could not longer reject the divine call for a higher service among men. Blessed with a loving wife, who encouraged him to prepare himself for the ministry, he became a deacon and then a priest in the Protestant Episcopal church. For nearly eighteen years he was rector of St. Ambrose's Protestant Episcopal church in Raleigh. The civic and spiritual activity for the well being of the Afro-American people in his section was greatly enhanced by his unselfish and self-sacrificing interest for his people. Although he accomplished a great good in his regular church work, yet thousands of prisoners in the pent- REV. JAMES E. KING. tentiary of North Carolina of both races have been helped by him to lead better lives. He stands as a stimulating influence among the prisoners. For about thirteen years the Rev. Mr. King had charge of the services at the penitentiary. He has administered the last divine comfort to many condemned prisoners. From all the men electrocuted during his time, except three, he has some interesting final statements inscribed in several little books written by the electrocuted men. When Rector King accepted the call to this city people of all stations of life here and in Raleigh tried to get him to remain. The poor prisoners protested to him and begged him to remain, but he decided to come back to the work he was instrumental in starting, which holds a claim on him. The Rev. Mr. Logan, rector of St. Simon the Cyrenian, Philadelphia, and Rev. R. N. Perry, rector of St. Mark's, Wilson, N. C., are among those who know of his worth. As a token of all the prisoners he was presented by the mayor of Raleigh with a unique hatrack, shield shaped and covered with red plush, and has a small looking glass in the center, with the horns of a cow for books. It has two boots of a cow for matchboxes. The rack was made by the prisoners. That the white prisoners admired him is strikingly evidenced in many instances, and among them is a gift by Wilcox, the white man who murdered the Cropsey girl at Elizabeth City, N. C., which created nation wide interest. The gift is also a curiosity. It is an altar of a church made on a table made within a quart bottle. Another prisoner for life made him a present of an artistically carved cane. Rev. Mr. King has been in charge of the work less than a year, but he has well organized the members of his church, and they have purchased a parsonage. Selma University's Good Fortune. Selma university is fortunate in securing the services of Rev. Dr. A. F. Owens as dean of the theological department of that institution. Dr. Owens was formerly in charge of Phelps Hall Bible Training school at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. --- DOUBLE TRAGEDY CAUSES SENSATION PENS NOTE BEFORE DEED Says Girl's Mother Would Not Let Him Have Lover and He Took Her Away to the Woods for Mushrooms. Salem, O. "I did it, and it came all of a sudden. Everyone is sorry afterwards and so am I. God forgive us. Mamma, forgive me and forget. I loved Ida dearly, but Mrs. Lee would not let me have her, so I took her anyway. I am going now to the woods for mushrooms." Such is the last message of Oscar Gray, 20, found scrawled on an old piece of paper in his pocket after he had killed his sweetheart, Ida Mae Lee, 20, and then shot himself through the head. The young couple had been sweethearts since childhood days. Girl Shot Through Head. The double tragedy is the biggest sensation experienced by the community in years. The pair left Salem Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, going with the horse and buggy of Gray's father, ostensibly to hunt for mushrooms in the woods near this city. Saturday afternoon when they did not return friends expressed the opinion that perhaps they had eloped, since they had been sweethearts from childhood. Sunday morning, however, Gray's father, Jesse Gray, a private policeman here, missed his revolver from his dresser drawer at home and immediately became alarmed lest an accident had befallen the two missing young people. The alarm was sounded and neighbors took up the search, which was met with partial success when at 9 o'clock Monday morning the body of the girl was found beneath a clump of bushes and partially covered with leaves in the edge of the woods three miles north of the city. Find Boy Dead, Revolver Near. The young woman had been shot twice through the head with a revolver. One bullet had penetrated the forehead and the other had entered the left eye. Her face also was badly bruised. Over her head had been thrown the shirt which young Gray wore when he left home. With the discovery effort was at once made to try to locate Gray. It was soon learned that he had appeared suddenly at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Theda Allen, at Patmos, six miles north of Salem, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, driving his father's horse and buggy. No one was with him. He drove right into his grandmother's barn and left the rig. Then he hurried into Mrs. Allen's house and seating himself at the kitchen table started to write a note on a sheet of paper that he pulled from his pocket. He wore no hat and no shirt, but had on a jersey. Noting that he seemed excited, Mrs. Allen inquired what brought him and the nature of the note he was writing, but he refused to answer and quickly grabbed the paper and ran from the house, disappearing into another clump of woods north of his grandmother's home. Search was instituted in this vicinity Monday following the finding of the girl's body, and at noon Frank Frantz came upon the boy's remains in a thicket on his farm. A bullet hole in the head and the missing revolver at his side told the mute story of his end. REPUBLICAN WINS IN MAINE John A. Peters is Elected to Fill the Vacancy Caused by Death of Representative Goodwin. Portland, Me.—Returns from all save a few towns in the Third congression district indicate the election of John A. Peters, Republican, for congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative Forrest Goodwin, Republican. The returns show conclusively that the Democratic party has not gained in strength since the election of 1912 and that the Progressives are returning to the Republican party if Maine may be accepted as a sample of the feeling throughout the country. The vote of 160 of the 184 districts gives Peters, Republican, 13,763; Pattangall, Democrat, 13,144; Lawrence, Progressive, 6,037. In 1912 the vote for president in the same districts was: Taft, Republican, 6,611; Wilson, Democrat, 13,131; Roosevelt, Progressive, 12,528. Frees Jerome of Gambling Charge, Coatcook, Quebec—William Travers Jerome was acquitted Monday night of the charge of having gambled on the station property of the Grand Trunk railway while waiting for the immigration authorities to pass on the case of Harry K. Thaw. The court apologized for the humiliation to which Jerome had been subjected. The hearing before Magistrate Henry Mulvena of Sheerbould lasted less than an hour. It began at 7:35 o'clock and at 8:20 the court said: "Sir, you are honorably discharged." Girl Shot Through Head. Bullet Hole in Head. C. HARRIS & EWING Carl E. Mapes, the new Republican congressman from the Sixth district of Michigan, is one of the few Republicans in the present congress who defeated a Democrat in the last election. Mr. Mapes is a lawyer and is thirty-nine years old. JAPANESE DENOUNCE THE UNITED STATES Mob of 15,000 Hold Big Meeting in Tokio. Crowd Marches Upon Foreign Office and Demands That Aggressive Action Be Taken on Account of Alleged Insults. Tokio, Japan—A mob of 15,000 persons seized Habiya park, cheered while its leaders denounced the United States and then marched upon the foreign office, where it demanded that aggressive action be taken at once against America because of its attitude toward Japanese citizens. The outbreak was the most serious anti-American demonstration ever witnessed in Japan. The meeting had been called as a public protest against the slaughter of Japanese by Chinese at Nanking, but the hanger shows against the Chinese was no greater than that displayed against Americans. The leaders made the United States their chief target and all their utterances were cheered. The police, fearing the mob would become riotous if any attempt were made to curb the speakers, allowed the harangues to continue unchecked. After the orators had spoken for some time, one of them cried: "Let us march to the foreign office and show our government that Japanese citizens are not to be insulted by the United States and murdered by the Chinese." The mob eagerly assented, and soon arrived at their destination. There admission was demanded by the leaders but refused. Extra police and soldiers were called to the building, but Baron Makino, fearing the additional guards would stir the throng to the fury shown at the time the Russo-Japanese peace treaty was signed, ordered them to return to their stations. When the guards were withdrawn the mob leaders took up positions on the steps of the foreign office and resumed their denunciation of the United States. The anti-airland law of California was denounced as a crime against the people of Japan and the foreign minister was branded a coward because he had failed to press this country's demands for its revocation on the American state department. For five hours the harangues against the United States and China continued. REFORM PROGRAM OUTLINED Wilson's Anti-Trust Legislation to Be Based on Seven Laws Enacted in New Jersey. Washington.—The program of antitrust, railroad and currency legislation that faces congress for the ensuing twelve months has become fairly well outlined during the week. President Wilson and the Democratic leaders apparently have agreed on an ambitious plan of legislative work which will bring all of the most important reforms contemplated by the Wilson administration. President Wilson has a general outline of what he desires in the way of trust control legislation, most of it being embraced in a series of seven laws enacted in New Jersey while he was governor. Steals to Go to Prison New York City.—"I stole because I want to go to jail to escape the drudgery of married life. For 20 years I have suffered the abuse of an unfeeling husband. Now his son is following in his footsteps and abuses me openly. There is nothing at home for me but labor and no one appreciates me nor says a kind word." So said "Jane Doe" in a Brooklyn court when she pleaded guilty to a charge of shoplifting. Who she in the police have not yet learned. She was told she must go to jail.

Cox, after the latter was thoroughly convinced of the innocence of the man, of the charge of criminal assault upon a little girl, In recent weeks, dispatches have been sent to the daily papers of the country from this same little city announcing that & suburb of Akron, known as Nortn HIll, objected to the presence of Afro- American home-owners and that an association had been organized for the purpose of getting rid of them. “A Nogro in effigy was hanged by a mob of fifty whites, a placard bearing the words ‘Last Warning’ being tied to the figure”, was the second move of the association, the first being the usual notice to move out_ or their homes would be burned and personal violence resorted to. ‘This was sup- plemented by 200 white residents of the suburb, armed with rifles and re- volvers, marching to the home of an Afro-American whom they claim was responsible for the location of Afro- Americans in that nelghborhood. Of course manly Afro-Americans of that vicinity promptly tore down the “dum my" and served notice on the associa. tion and its mob, that they were not going to move and that they were going to protect thetr homes in every way found necessary, even to the point Jot guns and revolvers. ‘The proper {thing to do! One thing sure, this had | the desired effect in a large degree. |A Dr. L. B, Clark, one of the leaders Jot the North-End’ Citizens’ Vigilance || League or Association, which had no | titled five of our families of that com | munity that they were “regarded as || undesirable citizens,” and which had | given them one week in which to sel | their property and leave, in an effort |to work up a little sympathy for the |miserable and un-American cause, | gave out the statement that he had ||received a threatening letter, which ‘|informed him that unless he stopped ||the persecution of our people in the ,| North Hill district “his home would be burned and his family attacked.’ || We do not believe that he, or an} "Jother member of his miserable asso ciation, ever received any such com munication, in spite of the fact tha they clearly earned a large numbei ‘of them. Realizing that our people o that suburb are not going to be bull || dozed, threatened, or seared into dis :| posing of their property and leaving -| to sult the caprice of a few prejudicec -}individuals who have shown them i} selves anything but the Afro-Amer! >| cans’ equal, the latest move of the 1| North Hill Improvement associatio: i|1s to try to purchase the homes they ,| desire vacated. While some of om "| people are willing to sell, others pro "| pose to remain and fight to a bitter sjend. They are the right kind! Ther¢ -|is a principle involved in this contest || which makes it absolutely impossible .|for any brave, manly, loyal Afro-Amer || ican resitlent of the North Hill Akron -| district to dispose of his property In -|the face of the contemptible, untaw | ful and most disgraceful demonstra | tions of white scoundrels of that Ak -| ron district, PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in sflepce when we should protest makes cowards out of en. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the in- ulsition yet would serve the law, and Bulllotines “decide our last. disputes, ‘The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.

If you were too black to be admitted to Luna Park roller rink all summer, except "jim-crow" days-Aug. 4 and 18—would be too black to be "used" on Monday and Tuesday evenings now that the park is closed, even if "COLORID PATRONS" are especially solicited on these evenings. In addition, and every one day, so who may think differently. Have some self and race respect. It looks like some of our people will do, and submit to, almost anything to make an "easy" dollar. An illustrated lecture and musical will be given at Mt. Zion Baptist church, Frank Av. E, E. Sept. 15. A splendid program has been prepared. Mr. D. C.

Linke of the Columbus Regalia Co. said to Capt. Saunders, "I will be here if you." She told him it was hers, and he said that he had traveled all over the United States and in other countries but had never seen anything to come up to it. Continuing he said: "I want you and your ladies to have your pictures taken, send one to me and I will give it to the person. I will all over the country. I desire it for all the other drill corps, white, and colored." Everybody in Baltimore greatly admired the "Royal's" uniform. We wish to call the attention of those of our ministers, church and temperance people and advocates who went to Luna Park on Aug. 4 and 18 to the following, published, last week Monday, in a local daily paper: "Drinks were sold at Luna park. Sunday night, to anybody who was willing to take the trip through two darl and damp tunnels, the dahlia to go through the deep village, through a subterranean passage under an alley in the rear of the regular bar. Here they ran up against a high canvas wall, passed through a door guarded by two men and a bull dog, through another tunnel to a bar. Two bartenders were kept busy." Two irreverent fighting bulldogs broke up a covenant meeting in Shiloh Baptist church, E. 30th St., Sunday afternoon, bounding through the open door in the midst of a passionate exhortation by the pastor. The antipathy between the bulldogs inspired one of the noisiest little dog fights ever seen and it took place in the center aisle while the congregation sought refuge on the tops of the long bench-seats. The pastor, Smith, was lost in the tumult. Amid the bedlam, as the fighting dogs bounded about the auditorium, those nearest the door began a flight that was almost a stampede. Then over the tops of the seats started a general exodus until most of the excited congregation was swarming on the sidewalk in front of the church. In response to a telephone call, the emergency from the third precinct to the church. Patrolman Fix separated the dog from the dog owner to the church. Patrolman Fix separated the dog from the dog owner to the church. Dogs was detained until police questioned him. The owner of the other dog disappeared. Hart said he was leading his dog on E. 30th St., when a man approached leading a bulldog. The fight started in front of the church, with the results chronicled in the foregoing. There are those who believe that God was, in this way, showing his disapproval in the Amherst 4 Luna park cell tower, and where shaky beer, wines, &c., were sold freely to those who wanted them. Members of Shiloh, encouraged by the pastor, sold tickets for the "cee." ABSOLUTELYFREE TWO BUILDING LOTS IN NEW YORK The home of the late, illustrious Frederick Douglass with its fifteen acres of land, beautifully situated on Cedar Hill, overlooking Washington, D.C., was bequeathed to the negroes of this country. It is the desire of the Trustees of that Home to make it a Mecca and Shrine for the negroes of this country, the same as Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, is preserved as a Mecca and Shrine for all.

G., in the military division, and by several uniformed fraternal societies, accompanied by a band of twenty-three pieces; also by their membership in other parrot and industrial bodies, which will participate in the battle of Lake Erie in a float. "It is embitterly fitting that our people should take an active part in this celebration, not only from patriotic motives, but because they played a large and conspicuous par. in the battle of Lake Erie and fought gallantly in other localities in the war of 1812," said Charles W. Chesnut, Esg. Sunday. "An examination of the historical data on the war of 1812 shows that in six or eight who fought under Perry was a Colored man. Capt. (afterward commode) Perry complained to Commodedore Chancey about the quality of the men sent him, saying they were M. B. 'a motley set, blacks, soldiers and boys,' but that he was 'pleased to see anything in the shape of man. This letter called forth a sharp reply from Commodore Chaucey, in which he said: 'I agreed with the man you set for my knowledge a part of them are not surpassed by any seamen we have in the fleet; and I have yet to learn the color of the skin, or the cut and trimming of the coat can affect a man's qualifications or usefulness. I have nearly fifty blacks on board of this ship, and many of them are among my best men.' Perry found the Negroes to be all that Commodore Chaucey represented. He spoke highly of their bravery and good conduct. They seemed, he said, 'very capable and dangerous.' Other commanders of the American fleet join in this testimony to the fighting qualities of Colored seamen. Negroes were solicited and welcomed as soldiers, also, in the war of 1812, and fought equally as well on land as on sea. An act of the legis-lature of the state of New York passed Oct. 24, 1814, authorizing the raising of two regiments of free men by voluntary enlistment, to serve for three years and any able-bodied slave. He only it was to be rewarded hundred thousand Colored in the union army and in Petersburg and Fort speaks for itself. Nearly both of Perry's men were mem- ers of our race." **Good!
