THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 42. IN UNION TREASURES STRENITY BERLIN GIVES IN ON SUSSEX CASE Admits Guilt and Promises Reparation; Says Commander Has Been Punished. ASSURANCES WERE BROKEN Note Expresses 'Sincere Regret Regarding Deplorable Incident'; Says Ship Struck Was Taken for Warcraft of British Navy. Washington, D. C.—Germany's new note, acknowledging responsibility for destruction of the Sussex, promising reparation and announcing punishment of the submarine commander, was received at the state department from Ambassador Gerard. The note expresses "sincere regret regarding the deplorable incident" and declares Germany's readiness to pay an indemnity to injured American citizens. The text of the note follows: Supplementing his note of the 4th instant, concerning the conduct of the German submarine, the insignia he has the honor to inform his excellence, the American ambassador, Mr. James W. Gerard, that the further investigation made by the national authorities concerned, in regard to the French steamship Sussex, on the basis of the American material, has been concluded in the meantime. In conformity with the assumption expressed in the note of the undersigned of the 10th ultimum that the damage of the Sussex was to be traced back to a cause other than the attack of the German submarine, cannot be maintained. Such an assumption had to be arrived at with certainty from the material in possession of the German government, and the knowledge of the circumstances connected with the torpedoing of the Sussex, the more so as apart from the points enumerated in the previous section, following facts had come to the attention of the admiralty staff of the navy through reliable information. March 24, 1916, approximately at the same time as the attack on the port of Folkstone with a large transport of British infantry on board. On the same day a transport steamer was torpedoed in the channel. A few minutes later, the ship had passed through a mass of ship wreckage, which created the impression a ship had sunk at that spot shortly before the attack. The ship that the only case of torpedoing which could be considered under the circumstances had struck the British war vessel, whereas the Sussex had met with an accident. Must Accept U. S. Belief. However, on the basis of the American material the German government cannot withhold its conviction that the ship torpedoed in the channel was the fact identical with the Sussex, for in accordance with this material the place, the time and the effect of the explosion in the essential details with the statements of the German commander, so that there can no longer be any question of the possibility of two independent occurrences of the explosion, thus constituted by the fact that officers of the American navy found fragments of an explosive in the hold of the Sussex which are described by them upon firm grounds. Assurance Not Adhered To. In view of these circumstances, the German government frankly admits that the assurance given to the American government, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the right to be attacked without warning, has not been adhered to in the present case. As was intimated by the undersigned in the note of the sixth instant the German government has taken a view from this resultant consequences. It therefore expresses to the American government its sincere regret regarding the deplorable incident and declares its readiness to pay an admonition to citizens. It also disapproved of the conduct of the commander, who has been appropriately punished. It hopes that the American government will consider the case of the Sussex as settled by these statements, the undersigned avails himself of this occasion to renew to the ambassador the assurances of the German government (Signed).

LAKE VESSEL SINKS DURING HEAVY STORM Twenty of Crew Reported Lost. Two Rescued; First Storm of 1916 Season. Cleveland, O.—Twenty men were reported to have been drowned off Eagle Harbor, Lake Superior, in the sinking of the steamer S. R. Kirby, which went down in a terrific storm—the first storm since the opening of the 1916 navigation season. Her crew was recruited in Buffalo. The Kirby went down off Eagle Harbor Monday evening, according to dispatches from Sault Ste. Marle. Only two men of the 22 members of the crew were saved, according to dispatches. Joseph B. Murda, second mate, Chicago, Ill., was rescued by the steamer Berwind, while Otto Lunquist, fireman, Pequaming, Mich. was picked up by the steamer Block. Both the men gave apparent confirmation of the report 20 of the crew drowned. "I saw Capt. Girardin swimming 100 feet away," said Lunquist at Duluth. "I saw no other persons. The captain raised his hands, waved and sank. The ship's mascot, a dog named Tige, which was swimming near the captain, sank a moment later. The second mate was taken to Duluth by the steamer Berwind. The Berwind tried to rescue another of the crew when a raft, but the man was so exhausted by the buffeting of the waves and by the cold that he fell off the raft and was drowned. The Kirby, while managed by Brown & Co. of Cleveland, is a Detroit boat, of the fleet of the Northwestern Transportation Co. The boat itself was valued at $100.000; his cargo of ore at $10.000. During the storm in which the Kirby went down, the barge Hartwell, which the Kirby had been towing, broke away. The Hartwell is also operated by the Brown company. She weathered the storm and was picked up and taken to shelter under Kweeewa naw point, according to the captain of the Block, who brought in Lunquist. The Kirby had loaded at Ashland, Wla., and was bound down. SMASHES PRESIDENT WILSON. New York City.—I haven't any interest in ultimates that fail to ultimate," remarked Col. Theodore "Brownville" Roosevelt, Wednesday, commenting on President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's rejoinder to the German submarine concessions article. "The latest Wilson note is up to his usual standard," he continued. "It is important that we extend standard toward Haiti because it is small, and another toward Mexico, because it is bigger. It is indefensible." OBJECTED TO WILLIS! Columbus, O.—Because he invited Gov. Frank B. Willis to attend and speak, Thomas Goode, an attache of the State Fire Marshal's office, has been deposed as master of ceremonies at the annual sermon of the K. of P. at the World War II memorial was accepted by the Governor, it was allowed to stand on condition that Mayor Karb be invited also. So both will speak. Last week Friday evening, the Alpha Mu club gave a musicale in honor of the Misses Johnson and Cooke, the Afro-American delegates from Washington, D. C., to the annual meeting of the Kindergarten Union held at Hotel Statler. This noteworthy affair was held at the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. Wright, Sr., 1348 W. 8th St. The Fortnightly and Minerva Reading clubs were the honor guests. The program, chiefly Shakespearean, was thoroughly appropriate; as by the guest Saturday, a morning musical was given to the two ladies at the Old Folks' club by the Minerva Reading club. Misses George and Cora Fields, Mrs. Hattie Price and Mrs. Joseph Seelg were among the participants. Misses Johnson and Cooke, who were guests of Miss Bertha J. Blue, returned to Washington, Sunday. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1916. CAPABLE ELDER'S NOTABLE CAREER Labors of Dr. J. W. Hair In A. M. E. Church. UP FROM SMALL BEGINNING Mississippi's Stalwart Methodist Leader is Supported by Whole State Delegation For Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Extension Society — Great Organizer, Preacher and Financier. The Rev. Dr. John W. Hair, who has been selected by the Mississippi delegates to the general conference of the A. M. E. church, which convened in Bethel church, Philadelphia, May as Mississippi's choice for the position of secretary of the Church Extension society, is an able exponent of the A. M. E. church. His candidacy for the position grew out of the fact that he has contributed largely to the success of the denomination in the state and is worthy of the honor which his friends desire he should have. In speaking of the sentiment created in his behalf for the position of Church Extension secretary Dr. Hair says: "Since the delegates of Mississippi and the Eighth Episcopal district have named me as their standard bearer for a general officer of the church by an overwhelming majority I decided to announce my candidacy. "Therefore, to the loyal yeomanry of Methodism in Mississippi and delegates, ministerial and lay, elected to REV. JOHN W. HAIR, D. D. the centennial general conference, accept my appreciations and gratitude for the hearty and heroic support given me in the great struggle for leadership in our grand old state. No night will ever be too dark nor any day too dreary for me to fall to come to the rescue of the grand men of Mississippi and the cause of our beloved denomination. "For twenty-eight years I have marched under the banner of African Methodism all the way from a janitor to the position I now occupy as presiding elder. I have conserved every interest the church has committed to me. I caught the spirit of the fathers, such as the lamented Stringer, Fisher, Carter, Jackson, Ross and the immortal Lampton, a son of Mississippi by adoption and the greatest financier of the church; Derrick, the greatest orator of the bench of bishops; Salters, the high churchman, the old Roman; Turner, the hero of many achievements and accomplishments for the church and the race, and the living lights of Methodism who have inspired the ministry of the state of Mississippi by their deeds of love and kindness and many other noble traits of character; Bishop Tyree, styled "the people's bishop" while serving Mississippi, the prince of gospel preachers of the church, and our own bishop, Right Rev. J. M. Conner, a son of Mississippi, who is a Bismarck in church and state affairs. "Mississippi has done much in the way of giving men to the church in the point of service and money for its maintenance and measures for its conservation, and we ask due recognition of our state and district upon our past and present records. "For eighteen years I have labored in the trenches as an itinerate preacher, sometimes walking thirty and forty miles to my appointment. I have built churches, paid debts, locally and connectionally, and pushed forward the educational work of the church. I have added to the church more than 3,000 members. The many friends I have elected to the general conference as delegates I hereby congratulate upon successes, and in announcing my candidacy for secretary of the church extension department I ask their cooperation and support. "I shall if elected extend the borders of the church and raise enough money with the pronounced ideas I have for the operation of the department to pay my salary and expenses of the office and conduct a general campaign of education along extension lines. Because of the present strength of the Eighth district in the general conference and recognition due the Eighth for services rendered in the pest and present I shall do my best." Dr. M. W. Singleton of Jackson, Miss., is chairman of the state delegation to the general conference, which has seventy-three votes. MEETING OF PHYSICIANS. Commissioner Emerson Welcome Our Dearness to Health Department Doctors to Health Department. New York.—The first meeting in connection with "health week" in this city was held on Monday, May 1, in the lecture room of the board of health, Centre and Walker streets. The audience was composed of the colored physicians of Greater New York, and the principal speaker was Dr. Haven Emerson, commissioner of health, who welcomed the physicians. He invited them to partake more liberally of the co-operation of the department of health, which extends to them aid in the diagnosis of difficult cases and in their efforts to maintain the ethics of the medical profession. "The colored people in rural districts have no higher death rate than that among other races," said Commissioner Emerson, "but in the congested cities their death rate is almost twice that of the whites because as yet the colored people have not learned how to live in cities. The Jews, for instance, are not an agricultural people. They have been living in cities for centuries and through selection and other means have become adapted to city life. Their death rate is lower than that of any other city group, and this is particularly true of deaths from tuberculosis, the most drenched disease of the city." Dr. William H. Guilfoy, registrar of the records of buccal, congratulated the colored physicians on the small number of physicians of the race who had to be disciplined for failure to report promptly on births and deaths. Dr. John J. Cronin, director of the bureau of child hygiene, spoke of the large number of colored babies who died before their first birthday through negligence of midwives and the failure of mothers to wean their offspring at the expiration of the first year. "The milk stations of the department of health are intended to supplement the work of the private physicians," said Dr. Cronin, "not to serve as a substitute for this service. The nurse in the station will teach the mother how to use the proper formula for milk suited to the peculiar case of her baby. The milk station also serves as an agency through which certain reliable milk companies may dispose of their officially certified Grade A milk, which is especially adapted for infant food." Among those present were Drs. Hoge, Nurse, Reed, Taylor, Williams, Robbins, Graves, Baxter, Thorpe, St. Johns several Brooklyn and Jersey City physicians and E. K. Jones of the National Urban league. The other speakers were Dr. Charles Boldum, director of bureau of health education, and Dr. Nichols of the bureau of preventable diseases. The colored physicians who attended the meeting seemed greatly impressed with the speakers. HUMBLE RACE BENEFACTOR. Savings of Miss Mary Strater Given to Washington Memorial Fund to Washington Memorial Fund Tuskegee Institute, Alabama—One of the oldest institutions to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund was received here a few days ago when the sum of $500 was contributed under rather unusual circumstances. The contribution represented a part of the savings of the late Mary Strater, who died in January, 1916, in her eighteenth year. Miss Strater was born in Newark, N. J., when New Jersey was a slave state. At the age of twelve years she became the property of a prominent family of that city. Later this family moved to Massachusetts, and Miss Strater, then a young woman, went with the family as a servant and remained with them as servant and inmate until her death, a term of seventy-seven years. At the time of her death her savings had accumulated into quite a tidy sum, and it was her wish that a part of this money should be appropriated to aid in improving the condition of her race in the south. A member of this family whom Miss Strater had nursed when a child has sent for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund the sum of $200 toward the cause. Commenting upon this gift, Hon. Seth Low, chairman, in writing on behalf of the board of trustees in special acknowledgment thereof said: "I observe that she (Miss Strater) wished her savings to be given to aid in improving the condition of her race in the south, and I write to express, on behalf of the board of trustees, our appreciation of the fact that you have dedicated her savings to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. This association of the names of Mary Strater and Booker T. Washington, in view of their respective histories, seems to me peculiarly interesting." Sons of Virginia Gain In Membership. The Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn is making steady gains in membership. The number of new members received up to the May meeting equals more than half the number for the whole year of 1015. At the April meeting the society answered the appeal for financial aid of the Aged Home For Colored People by donating $25. All men of Virginian birth or their sons, who comply with the rules of the society, as per application blank, are eligible to membership. Ambition of Marcellus H. Hawkins. Marcellus H. Hawkins of West Eighty-fourth street, New York, is doing splendid work as an artist. His cartoons are very timely and suggest the ambition of a bright mind. Young Hawkins is anxious to serve our editors with copy. His efforts are worthy of encouragement. MORE TROOPS ON MEXICAN SOIL Langhorne's Troops Are Following Bandits Into Mountains. ALVAREZ CARRANZA OFFICER Scott and Obregon Did Not Hold Conference Because of No Word From Gen. Carranza; Bandits Again Cross Border. Marathon, Tex.—Maj. Langhorne's two troops of cavalry of the 8th regiment are on Mexican soil, somewhere below Boquillas. Col. F. W. Sibley, commanding the expedition, went down by automobile. Col. A. C. Macomb has arrived here with his two troops and the machine gun command of the 14th regiment. Carranza Officer. Alvarez, the lieutenant colonel of the bandits who was captured by his American prisoners and the two other bandit prisoners have given more information enlightening and helpful to the American officers. They agree the main body came from Laguna de San Pedro, 70 miles northeast of Torreon. They say their commander there is Gen. Pablo Diaz and that they traveled north for 15 days at his command expressly to make the raid at Glenn Springs and Boquillas. W. L. Ryman, chief customs inspector here, has just returned from the border and confirmed the report of Capt. Dow of the river guard and Capt. Fox of the rangers that Alvarez claims to be a Carranzista officer. If Langhorne's troopers follow the bandits into the mountains below the Rio Grande at once, they will go practically without supplies. Capt. John S. Chambers, the quartermaster of this base, has but nine motor trucks. He is making herculean efforts to get supplies to the front, but the roads are bad and the number of trucks inadequate. Capt. Chambers is expecting nine more trucks to arrive in a few days. He needs 27 trucks at least. He has started two mule team wagons loaded with forage and driven by Mexicans, freighters for the zinc mine. It will take them five days to make the trip. Approximately 40 bandits crossed to the American side of the Rio Grande above Eagle Pass and rode up and down the river for several miles, later crossing to the Mexican side, without doing any apparent damage, according to a report here. Postpone Conference. El Paso, Tex.—Negotiations over American troop disposition in Mexico made no progress. Gen. Obregon awaited word from Gen. Carranza as to the course he is now to pursue, and when instructions did not come the conference was postponed. Failing in their efforts to have a definite date of withdrawal set, it is reported that the Mexican government may next try to have part of the American troops taken out at once, leaving the remainder to co-operate with the forces of the de facto government in the pursuit of Villa bandits. GUARDS FIRE AT CROWD GUARDS FIRE AT CROWD ONE MAN KILLED AND TWO OTHERS WOUNDED IN CLASH AT TIFFIN PLANT. Tiffin, O. — A cry of "scab" screamed by a small boy precipitated a riot here at the plant of the Webster Manufacturing Co. in which one man was shot and killed and two others wounded. Three guards at the plant, where a molders' strike has been in progress for several weeks, are in jail. The two wounded and four others are held as witnesses. A crowd had gathered about the plant and there were sallies between the plant watchmen and the strikers and their friends. When the cry of scab was heard, it is said, three guards approached the crowd and asked who had made the remark. Albert Latum, Jr., one of the strikers, said something to one of the guards. No one heard him, but in an instant a volley was fired blindly straight into the crowd. Latona fell, and as he did he was struck by another bullet that pierced his heart. Raymond Talley, son of a councilman, was struck in the leg. Claim Drive Losing the Infinity, Amsterdam, Holland. Amsterdam claims in reports reaching here the terrific two-month German drive against Verdun is losing its intensity and violence, German official sources give out the statement that the Teuton armies have made further progress on hill 304 and have driven back French detachments south of the hill. Tell of Shinwreck San Luis Obispo, Cal.—The steamer Roanoke, which left San Francisco at midnight May 8 for Valparaiso, founded at sea about 100 miles south of San Francisco, according to the story told by three survivors who, in a lifeboat, with the bodies of five of their shipmates, drifted ashore here. The survivors, weak and delirious, were unable to give their names or any information of the rest of the crew beyond the fact that four other boats had been launched when the steamer sank. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DILIGENT WORKER AMONG ALLEN LEAGUE SOCIETIES Dr. J. C. Caldwell Mentioned For Higher Post in A. M. E. Church. Philadelphia.—Among the prominently mentioned for the episcopacy in the A. M. E. church at the general conference being held in Philadelphia from May 1 to 21, inclusive, is Dr. J. C. Caldwell, general secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor league and field secretary of Christian Endeavor work among colored people in the south. Dr. Caldwell is an experienced Christian worker and is well qualified to fill any position in the gift of the denomination. He finished the public and manual training schools at Philadelphia and also the National School of Oratory and Elocution with great credit. He also completed his literary training at Wilberforce and later graduated from the Payne Theological seminary. Dr. Caldwell was a successful pastor in Missouri for a number of years. REV. J. C. CALDWELL, D. D. having joined the Missouri conference soon after completing his education, and it was from that state that he was elected by the general conference at Norfolk, Va., a few years ago as secretary of the young people's work, which has grown under his leadership to more than 4,000 societies and to a membership of approximately 150,000. The department prints its own literature for the benefit of the young people and also publishes an eight page paper that has a wide circulation and influence in the church. He has traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the gulf to the great lakes in the discharge of his duties and is an honored representative on all the programs of the International and World's Christian Endeavor conventions, being a member of the Field Workers' union, which meets every two years at Sagamore Beach. He is the only colored member of that body. He is also a life trustee of the United Society of Christian Endeavor and other similar movements. The young people's congress which was held at Atlanta was manned and controlled by Dr. Caldwell and his coworker, Ira T. Bryant, and was an epocalyptic event in the history of the denomination and of the young manhood and young womanhood of the race. The friends of the general secretary are much gratified that he is so favorably mentioned for the episcopacy. LIBERIA'S GOOD FORTUNE. Large Bible School Started by Miss S. M. Taylor at Fortville. Miss Susie M. Taylor of South Carolina sailed for Liberia, West Coast Africa, on June 8, 1912, as a missionary of the national Baptist convention. She returned to this country on Friday, April 21, 1916, after a perilous voyage on the Chicago, a French steamer. Miss Taylor inaugurated plans for founding the Bible and Industrial academy, near Fortville, Liberia. This promises to be the largest undertaking in West Africa by any religious sect of our group. The building is to cost $4,000 when completed and is now nearing completion. She reports a large number of students and every prospect for one of the best institutions in that little republic. Miss Elliza Davis of Texas, her assistant, was left in charge of the work. The foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention hopes to plan her meetings so as to raise the needed funds for the completion and equipment of this school before she returns to West Africa. There are 300 acres of land, on some of which many coffee trees have been planted. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the board, says, "Miss Taylor has proved one of the most consecrated and efficient workers the board has ever sent to foreign fields." She hopes to visit a number of the state conventions during the summer. Her story of nearly four years' work is pathetic, and it is felt the Baptists of the United States will give her the needed funds for the completion of the school, as she is quite a favorite among them. Letters intended for her may be sent to 701 South Nineteenth street, Philadelphia. Educators Hold Meeting at Cheney, Pa. The conference of teachers of Pennsylvania and Delaware, held the latter part of April at the Cheney (Pa.) training school, was largely attended. The idea of the conference was to discuss plans for better education for the race and also to arrange a social program with a view of around members to a larger sense of duty in respect to their states as citizens. IN UNION HISTORY BERLIN TOLD TO KEEP PLEDGES In a Short, Sharp Note President Puts Issue Up to the Imperial Government. U. S. GUIDED BY FRIENDSHIP Will Not Discuss Questions Which Are Subjects of Diplomatic Exchanges Between United States and Any Other Country. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson has sent to Berlin a reply to the latest German note on submarine warfare. The note is the shortest and sharpest communication exchanged between Berlin and Washington since the submarine debate began a year ago. It is void of all the diplomatic verbiage and protestations of friendly feeling that characterized former notes sent by this government. Following is the text of the reply: "The note of the imperial German government under the date of May 4, 1916, has received careful consideration by the government of the United States. It is especially noted as indicating the purpose of the imperial government as to the future, that it is prepared to do its utmost to confine the operations of the war for the rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents,' and that it is determined to impose upon all its commanders at sea the limitations of the recognized rules of international law upon which the government of the United States has insisted. Guided by Friendship. "Throughout the months which have elapsed since the imperial government announced on Feb. 4, 1915, its submarine policy, now happily abandoned, the government of the United States has been constantly guided and restrained by motives of friendship in its patient efforts to bring to an amicable settlement the critical questions arising from that policy. Accepting the imperial government's declaration of its abandonment of the policy which has so seriously menaced the good relations between the two countries, the government of the United States will rely upon a scrupulous execution henceforth of the now altered policy of the imperial government such as will remove the principal danger to an interruption of the good relations existing between the United States and Germany. "The government of the United States feels it necessary to state that it takes for granted that the imperial German government does not intend to imply that the maintenance of its newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the government of the United States and any other belligerent government, notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the imperial government's note of the 4th instant might appear to be susceptible of that construction. Will Not Accept Contingencies. "In order, however, to avoid any possible misunderstanding, the government of the United States notifies the imperial government that it cannot for a moment entertain, much less discuss, a suggestion that respect by German naval authorities for the rights of citizens of the United States upon the high seas should in any way or in the slightest degree be made contingent upon the conduct of any other government affecting the rights of neutrals and noncombatants. Responsibility in such matters is single, not joint; absolute, not relative." Secretary of State Lansing issued the following statement explanatory of the administration's action: "The great part of the German answer is devoted to matters which this government cannot discuss with the German government. The only questions of right which can be discussed with that government are those arising out of its action or out of our own, and in no event those questions which are the subject of diplomatic exchanges between the United States and any other country. "The essence of the answer is that Germany yields to our representations with regard to the rights of merchant ships and non-combatants on the high seas and engages to observe the recognized rules of international law governing naval warfare in using her submarines against merchant ships. So long as she lives up to this altered policy we can have no reason to quarrel with her on that score, though the losses resulting from the violation of American rights by German submarine commanders operated under the former policy will have to be settled."

Officers raided a gambling "joint" in the basement of 2826 Central Ave. early Sunday morning, gaining entrance through a window. The usual scenes followed. Players climbed under the pool table on which the "bones" had been rolled, hid under burial bags, in dark corners, behind a wall. When the roundup took place, 38 Negroes were forced into line. Mr. Floyd Williams of Baltimore, Md., returned to the city, recently, to spend the summer. He will be joined soon by Mrs. Williams who has been very ill in recent weeks but is slowly improving.

They have a best friend, a boy, who arrived with the same enthusiasm and cordiality that they did Mr. Williams on his recent return to his old home. Last week Thursday when the Rufus Justice-Cory M. E. church case was postponed for the third or fourth time in Police court, the judge announced that this week Thursday there would be no further delay and that the lawyer involved is charged with the embezzlement of $400. He was an officer of the church and handled some of its funds. The trustees of the church feel that, while they and Justice are greatly interested in the outcome of the case, justice should no longer be deferred. Onch!

The church "called" him in a communication which the deacons two with a subsequent communion at ten to ten a subsequent communion to Rev. Fishback, the new pastor. This precipitated the drastic action referred to. One or two deacons were put back on the board, it is said.

Quality Service ```markdown ``` AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ‘Throughout the various departments, of the Birmingham (Ala,) industrial ‘high school a practical spirit is con- Stantly seen. In the sewing room girls are taught to sew all of the ordi- ary thin things which must be used in every home. "The costumes for our annual musicales are always made here, and no girl can graduate until she makes her entire outfit, the dresses of which must come within the limit of $1. That this can be done and the result be pleasing alike to eye and purse you can easily judge by looking at the dresses of the girls who sit upon this platform. Our emer- kency room {s an instance of all work- ing together. Several pieces of furnt- ture, including one of the beds, was made in the carpentry department. ‘The sewing room furnished the quilts, the art department made the placards over the door and the Mothers’ Im- provement association furnished the medicines to go into our school-made chest. Our superintendent once made the remark that our school was the least expensive one to the city in the sys- tem. Instead of having someone do things for us, the only expense in- curred fs for materials, as we do the work ourselves. ‘The only outsider who has done any work at our school for over three years was a plumber, and {f our elty did not have such funny plumbing rules our boys would have done that work. When books fall to pieces. as these cheaply bound editions are sure to do, the bookbinding department resews and binds them, thereby often making them more durable tham at first. These are then put into bookcases made by the boys, for our office contains but ‘one piece of bought furniture, and that is the principal's desk, Not satisfied with furniture making, this year our Boys went a step further and built a sanitary drinking fountain so that the health of all the children can now be safeguarded by drinking from a bub- bling stream. In our cooking department girls aro taught to practice economy in the ‘most-needed place of all—the kitehen. ‘The dining room contains an extension table, buffet and chairs, all of school manufacture. The art department stenciled the curtains which hang at the windows. Our room lunch is offer- ing most excellent opportunity for a development of business thrift. Ten girls of the senior class were chosen last March to work in pairs and serve ‘one day in each week. ‘They were given the same amount of money as a beginning and told to plan their own means and keep their own accounts. At the close of the semester the re- sults were as follows: Team 1 has made $6.15; tem 2, $6.08;" team 3, $9.80; team 4, $7.61; team 5, $7.72. During the term two baseball teams have been entertained at our building. ‘The emergency room was turned into dormitory end meals were cooked and served at the dining room to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. anger to four hundred American Mormon colonists at Colonia Dublan ‘was removed by the arrival of a por- Panger to four hundred American Mormon colonists at Colonia Dublan was removed by the arrival of a por- tion of Colonel Dodd's cavairy column there.

The Tenth cavalry, Negroes, reported to have been the first to en- ter Mexico, south of Hachita, early ‘Thursday, composed the Dublan relief party. ‘The march of Colonel Dodd's forces from Hachita to Casas Grandes, a dis- Racial feeling emphasized by color persists in spite of broader and more humanizing influences. Gradually, however, the line of demarcation is be. ing expunged and the fellowship of intellect and spirit is being recognized as supreme. A notable instance occurred the oth- er day in the New York conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. It followed a discussion as to whether a ‘Negro clergyman should be considered eligible for election to the bishopric. ‘Many white membors of the confer- ence took part in the debate, and it was evident from their speeches that sympathies were widening and preju- dices yielding ground. Then Rev. W. MM. Brooks, a Negro pastor, closed the discussion in a plea of remarkable eloquence. ‘The yote was taken. It stood 123 to 16 in favor of wiping out the color line. ‘The colored Methodists have their ‘own denominational bodies, in which all ecclesiastical offices aro filled by them. The policy hitherto has been to encourage this religious segrega tion, but the New York conference leads the way in a demonstration that Interest in the Booker T. Washing- ton memorial is increasing, says the Indianapolis News. The colored people here were asked to take some share im providing the $2,000,000 endow- ‘ment needed for the maintenance and development of Tuskegee institute. A vigorous campaign was waged under the direction of Thomas B. Taylor. ‘The city of Jacksonville, IIL, was named for a prominent colored preach- ‘er, and is perhaps the largest commu: nity in the country named for a Negro. ‘The meat of the possum and the hardshell crab may be improved by keeping them in captivity for a suf ‘clent period, in which their feeding 4s under restriction, which precludes the natural dietary carelessness of the species. Processes have been perfected whereby mattings, binder twine and other coarse textiles are being made fof the leaf ber of the scrub palmetto and cabbage palm, which grow pro- fusely in several of the Southern ‘ateten, tance of slightly over one hundred miles, is said by General Funston to be one of the finest marching records held in American army history. Funston stated that smaller bodies of picked men had made marches ot 70 miles in 24 hours, but that for a large force to maintain an average ‘speed of 60 miles a day in rough, des- ert country is most remarkable. ‘Led by Mormons who had left their families in Dublan, Dodd’s horsemen were in the saddle almost continuously for 60 hours, Spurred on by reports that the colonists were in danger of massacre by Villistas, the troopers covered 100 miles of the most difficult desert country in Chihuahua on forced marches that will go down in the annals of army history. The col- umn took advantage of the knowledge of the Mormon scouts, who knew ev: ery water hole, trail and road along the route. _ The National Association for the Ad- cet of Colored People, with headquarters in New York, has ad- ‘dressed to the senate and house com- mittees on military affairs an urgent plea that in the formation of addition- al regiments for the army under the pending army bills two new regiments of infantry and two regiments of artil- lery be recruited from the colored men of the country. Under existing law there are two colored cavalry regi- ments and two of infantry. ‘The president of the association is Moorfield Storey of Boston and the treasurer {s Oswald Garrison Villard of New York. Among the vice presi dents is Archibald H. Grimke of New York. In its letter to the committees the association points out that the adju- tant general of the army has stated he doubted if 175,000 regulars could be Tecruited in the United States. “There is no difficulty in recrulting colored regiments,” says the letter. It Aiscusses the fine record made by the colored soldiers of the army since the days of the Civil war, and states that there have beon fewer desertions trom the colored rogiments than from the ‘white, The colored soldiers are much better fitted for service in the tropics than the white, the records have proved, the letter asserts. In conclu- sion, It says: “When ten regiments and several units of artillery were added to the army in 1901, the colored citizens of America were deeply offended that Secretary Root failed to recommend the establishment of any coloved regi- ment, | “Now that the question 1s before congress again, the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People urges that the right of these 10,000,000 citizens to participate to the full in every phase of our national life be recognized by designating two of the artillery regiments and two of infantry, of those about to be created by congress, as open for enlistment to ‘colored Americans. “It hyphenated citizenship is a weak- ness of the body politic, why insist that ten million men and women must remain Afro-Americans unto the fourth and fifth generations?” ‘To lessen the amount of metal used in fire escapes a Hungarian living in Canada has patented one the chief feature of which is basket to be lowered by ropes from a bracket fas- tened to a window frame, SNe ITEC SET EE TS the Christian spirit outlives race prejudice.

Clapp ‘of Minnesota lauded the col- ored race, saying that “none had been moro faithful nor more loyal to the flag than those of the colored race in the remarkable rise of the United States in the galaxy of nations of the world through the universal spirit of patriotism among. her faithful sons and daughters.” Other speakers were Representative Martin B.

Fashion's Demand for Full Skirts Sat- isfied, With Arrangement That Is Highly Artistic—in Shaped and Plaited Basques. ‘The sketch shows a Heer model which comes under the heading “dressy.” This is a very new and original design and here you see the slightly raised waist line. Nearly all the Beer models of this season are immensely wide at the hem of the skirt, and the dress I have Wr AN (\ I ih | Ba sketched was no exception to this rule, writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris corre- spondent of the Boston Globe. At the extreme hem the serge skirt measured from seven to eight yards, but the material was so beautifully soft and supple that it fell in grace- Homemaker Has Practically Innumer- able Ideas From Which to Make Most Appropriate Illumination. Almoat every woman of every clime has decided notions about the value of color and light in her home, for these things have decorative value that gives distinction, ‘The improvements in lighting since the days of candles have been so many that no person remembers them all. Now-we have indirect lighting, shaded lights and lights as soft as cand{es. Anti-glare societies are as common as antinoise ones and uncomfortable Ughts are out of fashion, but laraps are still in demand and are made with shaded tops that either cast or relieve shadows. But they no longer have chimneys, so they are fitted with what are called mushroom globes. Through these the electric light filters soft- ly and gives a suggestion of coziness that brilliant light lacks. It your home Is not equipped with electricity we recommend that you make a study of the new shades and new ways of placing lamps and lights and imitate them as well as you can with the means you have. Novelty is not the chief thing aimed at in the colored shades; eye-comfort is far more important. If you ate making or buying a lampshade have it suit the room in which it will be used. Linings of silk shades may be made of various tints and textures so that the light may be subdued on certain occasions. Split bamboo, willow rattan and wooden shades are suitable for the den and the Mbrary, and these are ined with silk or with rice paper, and of course linings may be changed often, Glass will always be the favorite material for shades, and its fragile tenderness only makes them more prized. The Japanese, however, be- eve in prolonging beauty, #0 that we have marvelously lovely shades ot glass and metal called “cloisonne.” Another fancy in shades of beauty are the silver and glass filigree hoods for hall lanterns, If you have not used your best endeavor to have your home well lighted, turn your attention to the mat- ter now and make yourself and family Every Woman Should Strive by All the Means in Her Power to Make Herself Attractive. Beauty is the one supreme gift for which every woman should strive, Not mere physical beauty (that is sec- ondary), but = combination of the ex- ternal and spiritual beauty combined. No woman can be beautiful, in the finer sense of the word, unless she ts the possessor of a pure mind and a noble character. Her features may be perfectly molded, but without these qualities there will be something which will bar her from being a real beauty. On the other hand, a woman with Ir regular features, who does possess these qualities, may impress the world as a real beauty. ‘Vanity, ll temper, selfishness, petti- ness, hateful thoughts, an tmpure mind, are beauty’s bitterest enemies Nature may have been most generous in the chiseling of the features and in the molding of the body. But if fine- ly chiseled features and a well-molded ful folds and did not look unduly “punchy.” ‘The coatee which accompanied this costume had one of the new, very full, basques, and this basque was attached to the upper portion of the coat under @ band of lovely oxidized steel em- broidery. The game embroidery formed a high collar which framed the face and neck and there were bands on the side pockets which “appeared on the full skirt, ‘The buttons on the coat were balls of cut steel and tho lining was a handsome brocaded satin which showed bright orange designs on a dull blue ground. Shaped and plaited basques are mak- ing their appearance on very many of the new tailored\coats. In some cases ‘wo basques are Introduced, one slight- ly shorter than the other, and theso are effective on tall figures, Of course a basque coat does not give the long, graceful curve which was a marked feature of last season's models. We miss the princess out- line; indeed we miss it so much that some of our leading dressmakers seem inclined to return to it for ta- vorite clients, It {s all very well to follow the fast fons to a reasonable extent, but when it comes to accepting an outline which takes away from the grace of the fig. ure it is time to call “halt.” ' It really is true that the more ex- clusive Paristennes never accept a style which is not becoming to them individually. ‘They demand, and ob- tain, modifications which will make the coat or dress thoroughly comfort- able and becoming. It is only the weak ones of the earth who allow themselves to be driven this way and that by sensational dressmakers who care little about beauty but who aro always secking to advertise them selves. ‘Taupe-Colored Hats. Taupe-colored straw turbans are cropping out in multitudes, these days. The spectal providence that watches over headgear has evidently dectded that taupe hats shall be “the thing” this spring. The hats are in turban or small sailor shapes, excessively chic in line and poise, and there is only a hint of trimming—a smart quill, a plaited ribbon cocade or a bead or leaf ornament, Millinery rib- bons are being doubled over strips of a resilient stiffening material, non- crushable and not affected by the dampness, and the new hat bows and cocades are especlally crisp and cor- rect thereby. 4 gift of well-placed, prettily shaded lamps and lights, Nothing else can give you more comfort ATTRACTIVE FUR, CAPE A ee ils ™ a es | eo 4 Ls { eae " Pe RYLLTETXLXLELLT Tt) Fashion again rules that furs shall predominate as one of the extraor- dinary features of spring and sum- mer wear. This fascinating little cape with its fur tie and balls is ma''e of the softest mole skin lined wit rose and gray-striped silk. Many unusual styles in furs have been seen, but the most novel thing of all is that almost every garment has fur attachments of some kind. The cape shown in the photo makes ‘an unusual striking neckpiece. Fad for Glazed Kid. ‘There is a fad for glazed trimmings this spring, and some of the most ex- clusive motor coats show facings, strappings and other details of kid in oft, rich color that harmonize with the coat material. Occasionally on a motor coat for a very young woman one comes across glazed kid trimming in bright colors, Ike scarlet, roval blue or even emerald green, but the aver: age choice is gray, mouse, tan or brown glazed kid, and white is used with much daintiness of effect also, body are ruled by such unattractive characteristics beauty flies away. Some women start handicapped and win out. Others start with everything in their favor and fall. But every woman can be beautiful if she will, providing she has no deformities to overcome.—Exchange. Face Creams. ‘There is a common belief that oily creams, and particularly vaseline, tend to promote the growth of hair on the tace. Best authorities agree that there is no foundation of ¢ruth to this belief. If these oils could make hair grow they would be in great demand as hair-re- storers, But to some faces a daily application of cream is toc much, and generally once a week is sufficient. As a substitute, pure olfve ofl is equally as good, if not better. Drying Hair.

A pretty little twilled ruffle edges the fronts, sailor collar and cuffs, and nothing could be more easily made than this form of sleeve and collar. ‘The design also is made so that the surplice pieces can be omitted and leave a most attractive plain waist with “a full front. Everybody likes this style of blouse, because it 1s easily put on and but- toned up in front, and is equally ap- plicable to many sorts of material.

A great many at- tractive plaid silks and ginghams are in the market, and they are smart with plain-colored dresses.

In case you make the waist of any sum- mer material the collar may be omit- ted and a fichu or net collar worn sep- arate, since this may be removed and a fresh one put on at will, and so the waist remain nice for several wear- ings.

Here is a brand-new idea for the fancy cushion, which the embroiderer who appreciates good ideas will do well to remember. It {s a cushion which is made In the now familiar round shape over a soft foundation covered with black satin. The cover- ing of this cushion ts two white linen centerpieces, not very different from the usual round centerpiece for the table, These linen pieces, however, are stamped so that the outline pro- fects in five deep points. The pointe are scalloped as well as the rest of the outline. On one centerpiece a conventional design has been worked in black and white cottons. The other article {s plain with the exception of the buttonholing. The two have been folned together at the five points over the satin cushion and white cotton tassels dangle from the five joining places. ‘One could use almost any center- ing brush, and below all this is a large pocket for the shaving papers. ‘The case can be cut out entirely in cne piece, and the portion that forms the pocket for the shaving papers fold- ed over and sewn down at the sides. To close the cage, the two side flaps are folded on to the center portion, then the large pocket folded upwards and the top flap folded downwards. To secure the case, the top flap is tied on to the back of the pocket for the shaving papers. This is illustrat- ed by the lower sketch, and the initials of the owner of the case might be a where indicated. et ie THE SMALLER CHILDREN Nothing Better Than the Rompers, Either for Playtime or the Formal | Ether for Playtime or the F. For playtime nothing can ever take the place of rompers. These can be as attractive as one wishes them to be. They should, however, be made of some color that does not show the first streak of soll nor the first wrin- kle. Gingham {s always good. A big check is effective and does not show soil easily. Use a dark, plain mate- rial for trimming bands, at belt, for a collar, cuffs and at the knees. For the very small boy, the one un- der five or six years, wash suits are always best. Those of pure white or pink or blue are quite suitable for afternoon wear, but they become soiled so quickly that they are quite inappropriate for morning wear. One of tan or a stripe of tan and white, red and white, blue and white or blue and tan is a much wiser choice for morning than the all-white sort, Ga- Jatea is a good material to choose, For afternoon, however, a suit of blue or pink poplin with collar, cuffs and belt of white and tie of black 1s very attractive, especially if white stockings and black patent leather pumps be worn.

They were of tan linen and the embroidery was done in dull rich colors. Wide Use of Fringe. Fringe is being used very widely for finishing the edges and the ends of pil- lows and counterpanes. This, no doubt, 18 the outcome of the vogue of colonial embroidery, and for the va- rious materials used instead of linen. Rep, poplin, crash and unbleached muslin are all being used to a great extent.

So a novelty was arranged, in which each performer was to appear in a fancy dress and sing a suitable song. The first items went off very well, although when Miss Antike came on fn a simple, girlish gown and sang “For Ever and For Ever" the audience got nervous, and thought she meant to do 50. Then the village crier appeared in a sallor rig and declaimed “Asleep in the Deep” in a voice high pitched and cracked. “Who is he?” “What character does he represent?” were the questions the Uisteners asked each other wildly. ‘Then came the usual voice from the rear of the hall, saying: “Why, 'e’s Sing-Bad the Sailor!"— New York Mail.
