HOT LAVA BESTROYS TOWNS Earthquakes Following Terrific Eruptions of Old Crater Drives the Islanders Into Sea to Escape Molten Streams. Tokyo.—Many thousand men, women and children are dead in the Kagashima volcano disaster, according to dispatches from Hitoyoshi. Villages Wiped Out. With the first eruption of the volcano the island of Sakurashima was enveloped in masses of flame. Its three villages were entirely wiped out, and it is believed that most of its 15,000 people perished. The city of Kagoshima, on the mainland, with 64,000 people, was totally destroyed in much the same manner as Pompeii and Herculaneum were obliterated by Mount Vesuvius. To cap all, great tidal waves rushed over the city. Thousands of fleeing people who escaped the burning city and villages were trapped in the blazing forests to the north. The Sakurashima volcano, which had been dormant for 130 years, belched forth lava and hot rocks, interspersed with fire and ashes. All the surrounding territory was deluged. Perish in Blazing Forests. Many of the inhabitants of the stricken island and of Kagoshima, who escaped the lava stream and the showers of rocks and ashes, perished in the blazing forests, which were set on fire by the incandescent rocks. The entire countryside was devastated. The ancient volcano began to rumble omniously Sunday and small streams of lava bubbled up slowly in the crater and poured down the sides. The inhabitants of Sakurashima were panic stricken and as many as were able fled to the mainland. Many were unable to reach places of safety. Without warning the volcano belched forth fire. Molten lava almost submerged the island. Thousands of helpless people were caught in their homes and given no time to escape. Later reports said that another volcano in the center of Japan was in active eruption, destroying life and property.

LEADER IN MANY GOOD MOVEMENTS Promoter of Organization For the Advancement of Boys, Superintendent of Sunday School and Chief Factor In Big Land Company Are Some of Dr. Crawford's Activities. Austin Tex.—Dr. W. H. Crawford for this city is the founder and commander in chief of the National Baptist "A. F." cadets, an organization composed of boys, operated on the order of the boy scouts' movement. He has written a manual, in which are set forth the rules and regulations governing the organization, which has been published by the national Baptist publishing board in Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Crawford is also superintendent of perhaps the largest Sunday school in the United States among the colored people. At the annual meeting of the national Baptist Sunday school congress held in Muskogee, Okla., last June, Dr. Crawford's school won the prize banner for having the largest number of scholars of any school belonging to the congress. He is active in many movements for the advancement of the race along various lines. As one of the founders of the National Home Builders' army he has accomplished a great work. He is the secretary and feld marshal of the company, which owns a tract of 50,000 acres of the best land in Texas. So thorough is Dr. Crawford's work that his services are constantly demand, both in his profession and as a W. H. CRAWFORD, M. D. business man. When the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, reputed to be the wealthiest secret order of its kind in the state, saw the necessity of having a well qualified physician to protect the interests of the organization, Dr. Crawford was elected medical director. During the three years in which he has held the position, the society has grown in membership and finance, and there has been a great reduction in the death rate among the members of the order. Dr. W. H. Crawford was born in McLennan county, Tex., March 20, 1872 He is the son of a Baptist preacher and a devout Christian mother, from whom he received a double portion of religious zeal and enthusiasm. Walking eight miles when he was eight years old to attend his first Sunday school, he was seemingly marked then and there for Sunday school timber. At the age of twelve he became a Christian and joined the Baptist church and has since that time been an effective force in the church. His public school education was obtained in the schools of his home county; his academic training was in the Hearne academy, Texas; he received his medical education from Leonard Medical college, North Carolina, and from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago. Thus preparing himself, he began the practice of medicine in his home town, but his skill soon demanded for him a wider field and, he therefore moved to Austin Tex., where he soon rose to prominence, his practice being one of the largest in that city. He won fame and distinction as a doctor of recognized ability during the meningitis epidemic that swept over Texas a few months ago. It was Dr. Crawford that saved more lives from that dreaded disease than any physician in Austin. As a citizen he is one of the leading men in his home city, where he is consulted on all matters pertaining to the advancement of disease by both white and colored. As a churchman he is the leading spirit in Ebenezer Baptist church, where he is loved, consulted, respected and obeyed as a man of undoubted Christian integrity whose life is worthy of emulation. Notable Advance In Rural School improvement in Virginia. The demonstration work which is being carried on in six of the southern states is adding new life and hope to the people who send their children to "the schools in the background"—schools that are isolated and too often lacking in good teachers, physical equipment and ventilation. The value of the work of the industrial supervising teachers as they go about helping those at work in the rural districts can scarcely be estimated. The reflex influence of improved country schools on country homes and communities is most potent and beneficial. Jackson Davis of Richmond, state supervisor of rural elementary schools and a pioneer in helping colored industrial supervising teachers, has prepared a most interesting summary at Hampton institute of the work of twenty-three colored workers who are assisting rural teachers in twenty-five Virginia counties to introduce useful industrial work in the colored country schools. These school demonstrators are helping the people to lengthen school terms, build, remodel and repair schoolhouses, paint and whitewash buildings and outhouses, introduce individual drinking cups, teach cooking and sewing and organize school improvement learners. Mr. Davis reports that the Virginia industrial supervising teachers have visited regularly 417 colored schools out of 591 in twenty-five counties. By private subscription the school term was extended at least one month in 189 schools. Brunswick county, Va., extended the school term in forty out of forty-four schools. Cumberland, Caroline and Northampton counties, in Virginia, also made unusual records in the extension of the rural school terms. Twenty new schoolhouses were erected, costing $24,000. Fifteen schools were enlarged at a cost of $2,000. Forty-six schools were painted, eighty-one whitewashed; 122 sanitary outhouses were built, 317 individual drinking cups were introduced, and 428 school improvement leagues raised for school purposes nearly $23,000 among the colored people. These figures do not include labor and material furnished by the colored people. Gardening and canning work were successfully carried on during the summer months in fifteen counties. The reports show that 417 gardens were rated "good." Some 22,773 jars of vegetables and fruits were canned for winter use. 193 cooking lessons were given in rural homes, 178 sewing lessons were taught and 186 homes were whitewash*. School demonstration work in Virginia means better schools and better homes for those who live in the country and deserves all the help that it can receive. TURNER HEADS VIRGINIANS.

The activities of the society during the year have been directed toward a revision of the constitution and by laws of the organization to more adequately meet the demands of the constantly increasing membership, increase in the amount paid to its members in time of illness and the amount paid to the heirs of a deceased member. It has contributed to several organizations which exist for charitable and religious betterment. President Charles H. Turner has given much time to the work of the society and is held in the highest esteem by the members. At the annual election of officers for the ensuing year, held Thursday evening, Dec. 18, all the officers were re-elected except Chaplain Alexander Brown, who declined to serve another year.

The American committee for the celebration of the signing of the treaty of Ghent and the 100 years of peace between the United States and England recently met in Richmond, Va. Afro-Americans the country over are proud of their representative in that important body in the person of Dr. Ellas C. Morris, president of the national Baptist convention. Good Fortune of the Curry Institute. The Curry institute at Urbana, O., has recently come into possession of real estate valued at $2,000, which was given by Mrs. Martha Foust.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS JACKSON COLLEGE HEADS THE LIST Takes First Honors In Great Oratorical Contest. Institution Founded Thirty-six Years Ago and Carried on Under the Auspices of the American Baptist Home Mission Society is Well Managed by President Z. T. Hubert. Jackson, Miss—Jackson college in this city is recognized as one of the foremost institutions for the education of Afro-Americans in the south. Under the management of Z. T. Hubert as president, the school is meeting the needs of its large student body in a most satisfactory way. President Hubert by his close attention to the various phases of educational work among our people has won his way to the front solely upon his merit. Realizing that the greatest drawback to the newly emancipated people was ignorance, the college was brought PRESIDENT Z. T. HUBERT. into existence for the purpose of giving them a chance to get an education. It started in Natchez in 1877, solely for the purpose of training teachers and preachers. In this it has been successful, and during the thirty-six years of its existence over 7,000 students have been taught in the school, and some of the leading men and women of the country are graduates of it. Jackson college graduates can be found in various parts of the country, branching practicing law and medicine, in business, teaching, farming and filling high positions in the national government. The enrollment is over 350, and many others will enter the first of the year 1914. They are from Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. The high class work done by the institution places it in the front an institute, but it can be found the best interests of its students to. The character of its work is an in the fact that at the state fair recently held it won first prizes in all of its department exhibits excepting one, and this was in competition with practically all the schools of the state. In a recent oratorical contest between Tougaloo university, Alcorn A. and M. college, Campbell college, Utica Normal and Industrial college, Christian college and Jackson college Jackson college won. The faculty, with Z. T. Hubert as president, consists of seventeen well trained men and women, some of whom are graduates from the leading institutions of the country. President Hubert shows that he is choice in the selection of his faculty, and it is esteemed an unusual honor to be numbered therewith. Yale, Chicago, Amberst. Brown, Morehouse, Spelman, Fisk. Atlanta and Tallahassee are among the schools represented on the faculty thus selected. Mr. Hubert is the first member of our race to hold the position of president of the school. For years it has had at its head prominent white men from the north, each of whom has rendered good service. It was in 1912 that Professor Hubert was selected for the position. He was born of humble parentage on a farm in Hancock county, Ga., in 1877, the year that the school was organized. Out of the same family have come three other boys who are also graduates of northern universities and who are now doing good work. President Hubert received his early education in the graded schools of his native state and at Morehouse (Atlanta Baptist college, Atlanta, Ga., and when he graduated he was employed as one of the instructors in his alma mater. He is also an honor graduate of Amberst. It was during the early fall of 1904 that he was appointed to teach science and agriculture in the Florida State college. Tallahassee, Fla., and it was while in this position that he told the foundation for his present position, which he is filling well. Step by step, he has made his way up. He was called to the Spelman seminary, a school for girls, to take charge of buildings and grounds. A slight idea of the confidence the society had in his ability is shown in that when he was called to the presidency of the school he was requested to select an entire new faculty to take the place of the white men and women who had been in the school for years. It was his first work as president of a large institution. AMERICA HOLDS HARRY THAW IS NOT NOW INSANE GIVES ITS VERDICT TO COURT Finds That Slayer of Stanford White Would Not Be Menace to the Public Peace if He Were Released on Ball. Concord, N. H.-Harry Kendall Thaw would not be a public menace if he were released on ball, according to the report of the committee appointed by Federal Judge Aldrich to inquire into the state of Thaw's mentality. The report is to the commission finds Thaw is not now afflicted with any of the mental diseases from which he was suffering when he slew Stanford White. Finding Is Announced. The finding has just been announced. When the commissioners say that they have reached a "definite and positive opinion as to the present mental condition of Thaw and his probable state of mind at the time of the homicide," they refrain from expressing this opinion in view of their instructions from the court not to "embarrass any subsequent litigation where the broad question of insanity might be involved." In conclusion, the report says: "Upon the question of menace or danger through the granting of bail, we may, however, be permitted and probably are compelled to record our finding that whatever may have been the mental condition of Harry K. Thaw at the time of the homick , upon which question we express no opinion, he is not now suffering from any of the forms of mental disease alleged by the prosecution at the time of the trials or subsequently thereto, namely—manolo-depressive insanity, paranoia, dementia praecox, or delusional insanity. "In our opinion, it is reasonably probable that Harry Kendall Thaw's liberty under bail would not be dangerous or a menace to the public peace and safety." Report Given to Court. The commission, which was appointed Dec. 17 last, consisted of Gen. Frank S. Streeter, a lawyer of this city, as chairman; Dr. Morton Prince of Boston; Dr. G. Alder Blumer, superintendent of Butler Hospital for the Insane, Providence, R. I., and Dr. Charles P. Bancroft, superintendent of the New Hampshire Hospital for the Insane of this city. The report presents the hands of the chief of the court and will be considered by Judge Aldrich early in the present week in connection with the petition of Taw for admission to ball under haths corpus procections. In the script mention the commission, the judge said that after the presentation of the report, the interested parties would have an opportunity to be heard further before the question date for such truly passed upon. No as yet. Mental examinations of Thaw were made by the commission four days in December and from time to time afterward. WILL DISPOSE OF HOLDINGS IN OTHER ROADS AND GIVE UP STEAMSHIP LINES. Washington, D. C. - The New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad and the department of justice have announced a preliminary agreement designed to effect a reorganization of the New Haven to prevent suit for its dissolution under the Sherman law. In compliance with department demands, the New Haven will dispose of its holdings in the Boston & Maine railroad, cancel its joint agreement controlling the Boston & Albany, give up its trolley lines and several of its steamship lines. The question of its retention of the so-called sound lines of steamships will be left, for the present at least, to the interstate commerce commission. Under the Panama canal act the road is required to give up all steamship holdings by July 1 unless the commission finds their continued operation by the railroad is to the commercial advantage of the people and not in restraint of competition. Announcement of the agreement does not have any bearing on the much talked of criminal suits against former directors and officials of the New Haven road. There has been no decision by department officials concerning this point and probably there will be none for several weeks. Ohio News Writer Dies.

We do not believe, however, that there is an organization among our people of this community that would be guilty of such an insulting act to the Jewish or any other class of people in this community. What do you think about it, Editor Weidenthal of the Jewish Independent? ‘The above is from The Gazette, the organ of Cleveland’s Colored popula- tion, edited by Hon.

The reason is that all of my “men are | union men.” This man being a north em man, the Colored man thought he. would tell him something he did not Know and something a xreat many white people in the north have tor. gotten.

And “ten to one”, whites are the promoters of the plot. When the Negro broke the chains of slavery and Mr. Lincoln de- clared him free, from that day he was slut outside the gate, Who is it that doesn't want to be free, and what race fs it that will not be free? Any per- son that ever read the bible or ever heard it read, knows that God will not permit one man to own another, out- Side of his own children, and it does not matter what color your children are. If you are their father they are yours and there is a day coming when You and all of yonr friends will know your, sins may be forgiven but your famify will be pointed out to you just the same. You will reap what you sow. Some slayeholders have gone s0far as to sell their own childten be- ‘cause their mother lived in the back- yard. They will see them again some day. God cannot lie, and he would ‘not lie for a thing of that kind. If this Ietter does ot concern you, ‘Mr. Reader, there will not be ‘any hard feelings. There is a class of peo- ple in this Christian land who would Jove to lie down and die and know that it would be the last of them. But, my friend, the pleasure is not yours Every man with a living soul is on his way Some-where. You can’t do any more with controlling the flight of your soul than you can with stop ping the sun from shining in China, Your sins will find you out. Do the -xood people, and the governors and ‘the government of this United States ‘know that when they are riding through the south in their palace cars, with plenty to eat and drink and place to sleep, that their Colored brothers and sisters and sons of thelt blood whom they have sat in some |state-house and counseled - against, are riding in a halt of a coach up next to the engine that is a little bet ter than a cattle ear and not ‘as good a8 a palace horse-car? And if we should go from Cincinnati to New Or leans we are compelled to cat a cold lunch all the way, not speaking ot sleeping. And 0, just think of what the mothers and the little babes have to suffer on a trip that is less than that, Are all of our white friends dead, isn't there one man in the Sen ate that will speak for a people that has suffered long; isn't there one mar in congress that will speak for a de spised people? We are treated like this, and still we blow up no bridges we Wreck no trains, and even yet you can ride safely. ‘There was a white hunter who went from Cleveland to the south to hunt and when he returned he told me o his trip and what he saw on a train He said that there were some white hunters that got on the train anc went from the smoker to the “jim crow” car where there were women and men and children in their half of the car, and tied their hunting dozs and came back to the smoker, laugh- ing with glee. The white man that told mue this is in Cleveland now. I turned away sick at heart. A“Chris: tian” nation that permits auch treat. ment as this to be visited on women and their children, stinks in the nos- trils of God. O! how the Colored woman are praying for more women like Mrs. La Follette. Every woman woman needs protection along these Mines because she is a woman, if for no other reason. Our women have suffered from every war as others have. ‘They have lost their sons, hus- bands and fathers as others ‘have. ‘They all loved them just the same. My God# what can we do that our moth- ers, wives, and daughters may have the protection of the law of this na- tion? We earned the rights and priv- ileges of this country when we helped to make and defend the old flag in the war of Independence; in the war of 1812 on Lake Erie and elsewhere; in the Mexican and Civil wars and in'the Spanish-American war, To-day, the loyal Negro soldiers of the United States army are standing on the border of Mexico, waiting the Sound of the bugle and the tap of the drum. ‘They know no fear. We are loyal in war andsin peace. If we will help protect yon and your families against the riftrat of other nations by taking the place in battle of your husbands, fathers and sons, why not protect our mothers, wives and daugh- fers against the vicious men and. un Just laws of this country? My dear friend, when you read this letter you are reading the thoughts of the whole Negro race. ‘The man in the moon, know more about the moon than the one on the outside. And now, again, we are going to make a plea to-the Federal Goveru ment, for it fs on its books that every tan is to have an equal show; and we will make a plea to the law-makers of each state, for they make laws that permit their wives, mothers and daughters to enjoy the parks and 20 into public places to xet food when. hungry aud a glass of water when thirsty, We appeal to the labor unions, because we helped to make these United States a union. which they enjoy. ‘They also know the suf fering of a man’s family when he ts shut out from all industries. And we appeal to the woman suffrage workers because they believe in. woman's, rights, We appeal to every Christian organization for they teach—“treat thy neighbor as thyself.” George L. Lang.

Trying to "Climb," Writes "The Old Reliable Gazette" an interesting Letter—A Mexican Battle in Which 1,500 Were Killed. Hachita, New Mexico, Cubberson's Ranch, 124-13. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—It is with the greatest pleasure, I write you after nearly three years away from the city of my birth. Since I left Cleveland, in May, I have traveled through several states—Indiana, Texas, Alabama, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and Old Mexico, as a soldier. I belong to the hospital corps, U. S. A., at present and am located 50 miles from the railroad, in the mount tains. But then, I like it out here. There is game of all kinds and hunting is very good. It snowed nere recently for the first time, this winter, and then just a little. While I was stationed at Douglass, Arizona, I had the pleasure of witnessing two Mexican battles. One, in the morning of May 13, 1913, and lasted about 14 hours. We of the hospital corps had to go over into Mexico, where the wounded—about 200 men—faced the battle of Mexico, city of Naco, state of Sonora. Only a line divides Naco, Mex., from Naco, U. S. There were 7 Colored hospital corps men, and we had our hands full for some time. All of the doctors are white. But we Colored hospital corps men received the honors, for we worked "like good fellows." Last week, they were fighting about 175 miles from where I am now. They were fighting against a killed on both sides. One American (white) was killed in El Paso, Texas. The battle was just across the line. My time in the army will soon expire and I am going to try for the position of embalmer in the (Panama) Casual Zone. You know me, my mother, sisters and brothers well, and a letter of recommendation from you would go a long way toward helping me. Please position me I am trying to climb. Please position me I am hoping I may hear from you at your earliest convenience, I beg to remain.

DuBois, His Magazine His Salary, His Organization,&c, &c.—What We Are Getting Washington, D. C.-Protesting against the policy of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to make and maintain The Crisis the only voice of and advocate for the race, The Washington Bee, this week, carries the following editorial, under the caption "Booming The Crisis": "It was the Negro weekly newspapers, more than two hundred in number, whose strong every-week protests against the injustice heaped upon, and the segregation aimed against the race which prompted into existence the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. For thirty-one years courageous Harry C. Smith has thundered against injustice through his Cleveland Gazette; for many years John Mitchell, through his Richmond Planet; Ben J. Davis, in his Atlanta Independent; and Editor King, through his Dallas Express, right in the heart of the South, have been protesting against the restrictions hedged about their race. Uninterrupted for thirty-three years, The Bee has stood on guard here at the Nation's capitol, shelling each week, the citadel of race prejudice with facts and figures. Chris Perry's Tribute at Philadelphia, John Murphy's Afro-American Ledger at Baltimore, The Freeman at Indianapolis, The Defender at Chicago, and two hundred other Negro weeklies, North, East, South and West, have been a unit, for years, in defending the race and demanding justice for it.

The editor of the Crisis enjoys a salary of $2,500 a year for simply reprinting and reflecting what has appeared in the more than two hundred Negro weeklies two or four weeks previous to its issuance, while the editors of the Negro weeklies have a hard time to make expenses for the reason they are steadfastly defending the race each week. The one thing new which appears in the Crisis is the dense assemblage of words—beautifully coined words, Oscar Wilde atomized sentences, which the editor indexes as "editorials." If the N. A. A. C. P. was as much concerned about the Negro newspapers that have for a quarter of a century, more or less, been weekly, and consistently fight the race's battle as it is for that whose narrow, egotistical editor draws $2500 for a liberal use of the shears and paste pot, the horizon of usefulness of these weeklies might be the part of the country, money is every solicited to support ONLY The Crisis which does nothing more than reprint, once a month, that which has appeared previously in the more than two hundred Negro newspapers. The Negro weekly publications have borne the brunt of the battle for years, are bearing it now, and will continue to bear it, but they are forgot by the very organization we inspired into existence, without money and without two weeks in a year protests. The Negro weeklies have more than 500,000 bona fide subscribers; more than 2,500,000 readers, while The Crisis, accepting its own padded statement, has not more than 25,000 circulation.

Joseph Hill gave a dinner to some of his friends, together with the California Quartette, to tell him that he is a member, Mr. Hill is "Pauline" reader and a bass-singer of note, here. He gave up a lucrative pastorate to join the company and I venture the opinion that he is doing more good in his present work, for our people than he did as a "minister". Covers were laid, at his dinner, for 12, and the service was conducted perfectly by our chief of service, Mr. Johnne Reaves, assisted by Mr. Harvey Armstrong (none better), late of Cleveland. Mr. John Boyle, a double-voiced singer, and female impersonator, gave a dinner to 10 on Friday evening. He, also, is a member of the California Quartette.

FIGHTING FOR LIFE FATHER AND SON, BECAUSE THE LATTER TRIED TO PROTECT HIS AGED PARENTS—LET US ALL HELP FINANCIALLY. Colorado State Penitentiary, December, 17, 1913. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Dear Sir:—I am enclosing here a copy of a decision handed down by the Supreme Court of Colorado in regard to my case which was hastily tried in District Court of Colorado by La Junta, Colorado, in July, 1911, where I was instantly convicted and sentenced to death and my aged father, a man of near 83 years, was also convicted as an accomplice and sentenced from 30 to 50 years at hard labor in state penitentiary. I was sentenced to death for protecting my aged father and mother, in their own home, and my life at the cost of the lives of the two brutal human prejudice, Negro hating, lawless policemen who were assaulting my mother and father, and seeking to murder me. But after being denied a new trial by the judge trying my case, my attorney, Ex-Judge Lyman I. Henry of Pueblo, Colo., assisted by W. B. Townsend, attorney-at-law of Denver, on behalf of citizens of both races and members of my lodge, the R. T. Coles lodge, No. 86, A. F. and A. M. Kansas City, Mo., and my father's, Prudent lodge, No. 6, A. F. and A. M. Kansas City, Kan., I succeeded in getting our case to the Supreme Court, which readily rescinded the graft of the lower court and granted me a new trial which will soon come. Now, dear sir, the fight has just commenced as the prejudiced class in that community are determined that the sentence imposed on my father and myself be carried out, and they will use every means in their power to gain their hellish ends, and to thwart all in their desire to see me get justice. I appeal to you for financial assistance to assist me in way through the columns of your paper, or otherwise, to meet the financial demands involved, it will be greatly appreciated. My reason for sending you a copy of the Supreme Court's decision and comments, is for you to see clearly it was not an act trying or attempting to defy the law in any way, but one of protecting my parents and my life. I again beg to state that I am a worthy member of City, Mo., and my father, Hon. James City, Kan, being a 32 degree man and a 33 degree gentleman. Sb I appeal to you most earnestly, that you may do for what you can. You may refer to your standing. Should you feel disobedient to aid us, forward same to my mother, Mrs. Clara Harris, No. 1319 River St., Canon City, Colo, as she is striving to gain us justice and every one looks to her to be paid for any expense incurred in helping father and me. Please acknowledge receipt to me, Hoping for your assistance, I am, Yours respectfully and fraternally in Robert Harris, No. 8180, Colorado State prince. Canyon, Colorado HELP THE HARRISES! "A Heart to Heart" Talk From Geo. L. Lang—His Contribution—Who Will Be the Next? Cleveland, O., Jan. 3, 1914. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Dear Friend; I take the privilege of calling you "Dear Friend," not only to me and others that know you, but also to those who never heard of you, for the columns of your paper applies to all. I do say a man that has worked as many years, early and late, as you have, to face and bring and keep them to the end of a friend and a dear friend. Had I not been a reader of your paper, I would not of known thousands of things, good and bad, that are going on among our people that we all should know. Are we men, or are we fakers? Can we be trusted, or can we not? Will we be men and help to bear the burdens of our people that are being cast on them, or will we laugh in our hearts at those defeated? Are you selfish or have things always gone well with you, my brother? Well, if they have, or if they have not, here are two among us that are in trouble. Will you help a man that will defend another mother. How could you refuse and a mother be helped in And will you help a father who will protect his home? What do we make a home for? Did Robert Harris do right or wrong when he defended his mother as all sons should? Did his father do wrong to try to protect his home and wife as all husbands should? This mother turned to her son and husband for protection, and now they are in trouble; the son to die and the father condemned to life in prison. They have asked for a new trial. Shall we help them, or shall they die and the mother be taken away with them? Are we men? Are we women? We are men! In cases like the Harries, our brothers' troubles are our troubles and our mothers' troubles are the troubles of the whole race. Please send the enclosed $2,00 to Robert Harris' mother.

She is, at the present time, called the mother of the movement. It was her enthusiasm which helped to awaken people to the fact that their attitude toward the poor should be other than that of mere givers of money or dispensers of food. It was Whitelair Reid who, after reading "Mrs. Herndon's Income," by Mrs. Campbell, suggested that she begin investigations of the laboring conditions among poor women and children in New York city. Mrs. Campbell began the investigation, and for a year there appeared each week in the New York Tribune articles by Mrs. Campbell on the woman wage earner's problem. Not satisfied while studying the conditions among the working women of her own country, Mrs. Campbell went to Paris, where for a year she studied the problems of the wage earning women of that city. Later for three years she covered the conditions in England, Italy and Germany. During her entire period abroad there came from her pen a series of brilliant, comprehensive articles dealing with the industrial place of the woman wage earner. While in New York, when she was carrying on investigations in the business districts, Helen/Campbell spent much of her time in Jerry Macauley's mission. Helen Campbell is probably best known as an author. She is also known as a former professor of the Kansas Agricultural college, as a special lecturer of the University of Wisconsin and as being connected with Charlotte Perkins Gilman in Chicago Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, wife of Vice-President Marshall, has set the pace for dealing out calling cards. She started out in the summer to round up all those who had called upon her, and her card with that of the vice-president now rests on the top iyer of 1,600 trays, distributed all the way from the capitol to Alexandra, extending through Maryland to Baltimore and intersecting all fashionable and unfashionable highways in the MARY E. Queen Ena of Spain, who is only twenty-eight, is aging rapidly under the pain, who is only rapidly under the cares of royalty. Her latest photograph shows that she has grown handsome and is able to test fifteen years older than her actual age. WILLIAM IV. Not alone has Queen Ena been burdened with grievous family troubles owing to the delicate health of the king and the sad deficiencies of two of her children but she is naturally of an auto- cratic and fretful temperament, like is we her mother, Princess Henry of Bat does tenberg. viser Like Princess Arthur of Connaught, ment Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the president, sang to more than fifty to more than nine blind residents of Washington the other evening at the National library for the blind, and at the end of her recital sent home in the White House car, in which she had come, a number of her auditors who dwell in the remote part of the northeast.

When she came to give the titles to officials of the library for entry in a permanent record, it was discovered that the total number was the sup. Other Side of the Picture. The people who collect the ludicrous answers of school children to examination papers are overlooking a splendid chance to contribute still further to the gayety of nations by collecting the equally absurd questions that the children are called upon to answer. Bibles Always in Demand. American presses turn out 15,000, 600 Bibles a year, while the English presses turn out twice as many, and settlement work. She is a familiar person on Boston common, where she is called the "mother of the bum row." It is on one of the seats reserved for the occupancy of the "bums" of Boston and other cities that Mrs. Campbell, when the weather permits, reads her morning paper—always with an observant eye to her fellows of the row. When she thinks one of them is genuinely down and out she speaks to him, and the heart of many a poor chap has been cheered by the little white haired woman, whose kindly eyes gave him sympathy and who comprehensively listens to a tale of fortunes lost and ships wrecked. "My love for the poor and hungry," says Helen Campbell, "began at the age of nine years, when in the cold of a November day in New England a band of gypsies camped below my grandfather's farm. I met one of the little children wrapped in a tattered red shawl and she told me how hungry she was. She said her band had been ordered out of the town. I ran back to my grandparents and announced my intention of having the gypsies come up to the big house on the hill. My grandparents were aggest at the proposition. Their refusal to entertain the wanderers infuriated me, and I shall never forget the episode nor how, after the storms and tears, a basket of provisions was finally sent down to the gypsies in the hollow. That night the band was hurried out of the town." Mrs Campbell is a firm believer in the "back to the land 'movement'." "Through this great country," says Helen Campbell, "I have traveled. In the west I have seen the wheat being garnered; in the south I have seen the cotton fields white, ready for the harvest; in the north I have seen the great timber lands, and in the east broad, fertile acres, and I tell you there is plenty for the masses, plenty for the poor women and their little children, losing childhood in toil. And even while industrial unrest possesses the hearts of the women and children—there is yet a great peace—when out of the turmoil they will come into their own. "My human creed is to do good and love much. I have tried to live it all my life," says Helen Campbell, mother of the hum row. which have been made upon her at the Shoreham hotel since March 4. The record is one never before made by a vice-president's wife, cabinet members" wives or any one else in the official circle except Mrs. Henry Kirk Porter of Pennsylvania, whose husband was in the house from that state a few years ago. Mrs. Marshall can now rest on her iureaels. She has closed her visiting list and covered up everything until this winter. The long session of congress made it possible for her to accomplish this. The not too sumptuous machine given to the vice-president for use while he is in office, and accompanied by a chauffeur who knows the city, has been seen in a dozen sections of the town in the same afternoon—first before the door of some high official or a fashionable woman of society, with a caretaker to receive the card, and then before the humble home of a government clerk from Indiana. she affords a striking example of the beautifying results of fashionable clothes. Always extremely pretty, with wonderful blond coloring, lovely hair and handsome eyes. But a grate had the serious defect of being shouldered and short-necked. This appearance has now been got rid of and the grace and beauty of her neck and shoulders are undeniable. The prospect of facing a regency in Spain for some years, at any rate while her eldest son is under age, must have a wearing effect on Queen Ena, and especially as it is so freely predicted that she could never sustain the position successfully in the face of the letting loose of not merely Republican but revolutionary forces expected to follow the death of the present king. However, Queen Ena will not fall for want of brains, for it is said she is well endowed with them, and if she does fall it will be owing to bad advisers or her own defective temperament. possibly lucky numeral of her distinguished father. Besides the distinction imparted to the occasion by the presence of the daughter of the president, Miss Wilson's singing as such pleased the audience. With a wealth of feeling and a well-trained technique, Miss Wilson gave first some Norse, German and French selections, and then some familiar Scotch and Irish ballads. Among these numbers were three from Grieg, Straus's "Margen," Schubert's "Ave Maria," Faure's "Des Berceaux" and "Claire de Lune," "Where the Bee Sucks" and "Lovely Alice," old English songs; "My Laddie, Will Ye Gang to the Hielands," "Loch Lomond," and "The Low-backed Car." Miss Wilson was accompanied home to the White House by Mrs. William Hitz. A number of blind people were taken to and from the concert in the car of Mrs. Emile Berliner.

Even if they did, Bush says, he wouldn't accept it. Connie Mack declares that his team won't be weakened any by the release of Walsh to the Yankees, although he is sorry to see him go. Cleveland is said to be after Dick Bayley, the veteran outfielder of the Venice Coast league club, who led the league in notting this year. Christy Matthewson is just like wine, says a Cincinnati scribe. The wonderful pitcher of the Giants seems to be come better as the years roll by. Al Demaree, Giant pitcher, says the Cincinnati fans are conceived. This, as applied to certain fans and directors, is the unanimous opinion of Joe Tinker. MELVIN W. SHEPPAR The Irish-American Athletic club will be represented in the Athenian Olympic games by at least ten men, headed by Melvin W. Sheppard.

Herd, winner of the national intercholastic hat, is tennis championship at Newport, is now a student at Cornell university. According to Ray, the English golfer, a team of professional golfers from England will tour the world in 1915 playing in America, Australia and Africa during the trip. Ray and Varden, the English professional golf players, have returned home. Their trip through this country extended slightly over three months. In addition to the championship, tournaments and practice games, they took part in nearly forty 36-hole matches. Chicago public schools have made swimming a part of the course in physical training. Coach Charles Stephenson of the California university writes that he has 150 candidates trying to get a place on his varsity eight. New York Public Schools' Athletic league has undertaken the gigantic task of teaching 65,000 boys of the elementary schools how to swim. Aquatic coaches at four "big nine" schools have started a movement to have water basket ball listed as a conference sport, replacing water polo, which has been eliminated. WRESTLING Emil Klank, manager of Frank Gotch, has departed for Salt Lake City, Utah, to arrange for a return match between Fred Beell and Mike Yokel, world's lightweight and middleweight champions respectively. Boxing Promoter Baker of Sydney, Australia, has offered Carpentier, the French heavyweight champion. $7,500 and expenses for one fight with Dave Smith of Australia. Mike Gibbons continues his victorious ring career. The St. Paul welterweight gave Joe Hirst of Philadelphia a bad beating in a six-round bout at the Olympia A. A. in Philadelphia. Although boxing under state supervision is governed by commission in the states of Wisconsin, Montana and New York, there is no agreement between the commissions to uphold rulings. Owen Moran, the English light-weight, was disqualified by the referee in the sixth round of a scheduled ten-round fight with Joe Azevedo at Oakland and the decision was awarded to the Sacramento fighter. Willie Ritchie and Harlem Tommy Murphy have been rematched to fight for the lightweight championship Friday, January 23.

EVENING MANTLES OF RICH MATERIAL Only Most Costly Fabrics Considered Fit for Adornment of Fair Parisienne. RAREST FURS IN PROFUSION Some of the Garments Hand-Embroidered and Encrusted With Precious Stones—Headresses Also Are of the Most Fantastic Design and Luxurance. HE evening mantles now being shown in Paris by the best of the Rue de la Paix dressmakers are gorgeous. In design these wreath are picturequeen, and in material they are quite magnificent. Simple silver gauze, brocaded with rich designs in vivid colors, is one of the favorite materials of the season, and another lovely stuff is metallic mousseline, hand-painted and finely embroidered. The latter material cannot be described in mere words. Some specimens of it are so exquisite in color and design that the general effect baffles description. The note of the winter season, where evening dress and wraps are concerned, is extreme richness. All sorts of lovely materials are combined in a single garment, and costly fur is used, in lavish quantities. One particular model was composed of plain and embroidered silver gauze mounted over rose Dubarry chiffon. The upper part of the coat was made of the plain material, which glistened and sparkled under artificial light. Then there was a deep hem finely embroidered in metallic threads, and then worked over with heavy silks, and incrusted with padilles and precious stones. The mantle was bordered with black fox, and the smart tie which circled the neck was of the same fur. Another was still more pictureque in outline. The material in this case was glistening silver gauze brocaded with a conventional design in deep orange. The border of the mantle was black mirror velvet, and above this border there was a wide band of pure white fox. The pictureque hood was also of white fox, and the tassels in silver and fine paste. This was a regal model, and the lining was com- posed of lemon yellow chiffon velled in salmon-pink tule. I have seen some splendid Worth models made of mirror velvet and white fox, which had linings of silver tulle velled in shot gauze. A rarely lovely theater wrap was in erine with a deep hem of black bretschwanz and a capuchin hood of silver gauze mounted over old rose chiffon, the gauze being hand painted and embroidered in the manner just described. Liberty is showing some splendid evening scarfs in embroidered and hand-painted gauze, and even on close inspection it is almost impossible to see what these are really made of; they give a dazzling and mysterious effect. "Whirlwind" Headdress One of the heads in the sketches shows an extraordinary headdress seen last week at the opera. It has been christened the "whirlwind," and that is an excellent name, for this method of hairdressing gives the impression that its explorer has been out in a fierce gale of wind. This headdress was invented by a famous Parisian artist, and it is en- STUDIO B. NO. The new "whirlwind" headaddress. The hair is curled, lightly drawn to the top of the head, and then allowed to fall loose. A trellis of diamonds circles the forehead. joying a remarkable success. The hair is curled all over and then drawn up to the top of the head, the little curls being permitted to fall this way and that at will. A trellis band of diamonds circles the head, rather low down on the forehead, and a few loose locks make their appearance under this band, just over the ears. The second headaddress is full of distinction and elegance. Here you have the latest Parisian style for a real grande dame who will have nothing to do with anything eccentric. In this case the hair is lightly waved and drawn up from the face, while a string of emeralds is passed over one side of the forehead and caught up by a magnificent alget of green and Supremacy of Youth! supremacy of youth. The men who were great figures in the early history of this country achieved their prominence while at ages which would now be considered extremely youthful. Thomas Jefferson was but thirty three when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, and his great rival, Hamilton, was but twenty-one when he served as Washington's chief of staff, and but a little past thirty when he wrote the Federalist and assisted in framing the constitution of the United States. white spun glass. This is a headress which might be adopted by any one who appreciated real elegance of outline untouched by exaggeration. For powdered hair this is an ideal method of dressing, and it is one which will be very much worn in Paris and on the Riviera all through the winter and spring. Spun Glass Aigrets. The new aigrets of spun glass are very effective. They are made in many different colors, and are often combined with fragile aigrets of diamonds or other precious stones. Spun glass gives a delightfully glistening effect under a strong light, and in powdered hair it is specially attractive. Some of the smart Parisian actresses are adopting exaggeratedly high headdresses. In fact, in one or two cases the hair on the stage has been dressed almost in Marie Antoinette style. It cannot be said that this remarkable style has yet become a fashion, but it is quite possible that it may do so. Certainly there is a tendency to pile the hair very high at the top of the head, and, of course, the powdered style lends itself to this method. For state occasions magnificent tiers of diamonds are now being made in the form of upstanding A A very distinctive headdress, suitable for powdered hair. The hair is lightly waved and drawn back from the forehead. The ornaments consist of a string of emeralds and a glistening alget of green spun glass. leaves. One of the prettiest of these designs is that made of mistletoe leaves in diamonds crowned by berries in large pearls. It was an English duchess who first introduced this fashion of fancy tiaras. It was said that some one made the experiment in the days when Queen Victoria was alive, but that it was immediately crushed, as that wonderful old lady had very firm views on the subject of court etiquette. Unexpected Furs. For more ordinary evening wraps printed chiffon gives admirable results when combined with embroidered or hand-painted gauze. For these wraps dyed fitch is used as a trimming or fitch in the natural color combined with dull gold embroideries. One rarely sees an evening cloak or coat without rich for trumpeting, and the Parisians have a special talent for combining all sorts of unexpected furs with fragile stuffs and with fine embroideries. The very chic thing just now in Paris is the high Medici collar of pure white linen with a hemstitched border and a waistcoat front fastened with jeweled buttons. Vests of this, with tails with all sorts of dress-orate dresses of charmeuse and velvet. They are essentially smart and attractive. The linen used for these vests is the finest quality it is possible to purchase. It is the same quality as that used for fine white linen summer suits, and the high, hemstitched collar looks very picturesque and unexpected. Parisiennes are wearing very lovely buttons on these little waistcoats, matrix turquoises set in rims of silver or baroque pearls rimmed with paste, or, again, bright red berries made of enamel. The buttons on the waistcoat correspond in some way with the touch of color on the toque or necktie and they are as decorative as they are—more often than not—costly. Alexandra More Lenight. The experiment was again made when Queen Alexandra came to the throne, and with better success, for Queen Alexandra she had very artistic about dress, and she welcomed a little change in the fashion dress. Now it is an ordinary thing for an English peeress to appear in a fancy tiarra even on state occasions, and the tiarras now being by Parisian jewelers in the shape of flowers and leaves are admirable from all points of view. I have seen a lovely rosebud tiara, which had a single high bud, surrounded by small leaves, standing erect in front, and another which was made of large Marguerite daisies. In the world of jewels the latest thing is the long chain of amber beads and uncut diamonds, the glistening white stones alternating with the circles of pale amber. The effect of these chains is beautiful. Amber is at all times becoming to the skin, and when combined with sparkling diamonds it looks mysterious and eminently attractive. Market for Panama Cocoanuts. Panama sends about five million cocoanuts a year to the United States. The remarkable feature of this age is the manner in which aged men continue in control of affairs, rather than the supremacy of youth. What Followed?

Captain Robert Warr, now retiring from sea life after forty-nine years of it, said on the Campania: "Yes, it is true that sea captains are sometimes annoyed by passengers who think they know more about navigation than the navigator himself. I know a captain to whom a passenger once said: 'What town is this we are approaching, cap?' "Derwent, sir.' "No, cap, you are mistaken. Look at this map here. According to this map it's Fordham-on-Tyne.' "The captain said nothing, and a moment later the passenger asked: What channel is that, captain?" "Egg channel, sir.' "Why, man, you're wrong again! The map gives it as Mellin's Channel." "Three or four times this sort of thing went on. Then the passenger asked what kind of bird it was that was following the vessel. 'Hadn't you better refer to your map?' retorted the captain."—London Opinion. The Minister Scored The young lawyer didn't like the minister, and so he thought to, corner him.

"Ah!" chuckled the young lawyer. "And will you tell us why?" "Because he would have all the lawyers on his side."—Ladies' Home Journal. A Personal Application. "Say, parson," said Elder Berry at the church board meeting, "here are the resignations of all of the quartet choir." "My, my," said Dr. Fourthly in distress, "what is the trouble?"
