Says THE NEGRO IN CITIES Professor Haynes Speaks before the Ethical Culture Society on the Race Problem. Says adjustment of Conditions necessary about Segregation. (New York Age.) "The Problem of the Negro in Cities" was the subject of an address delivered before the Ethical Culture Society Sunday by George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk University. Prof. Haynes stated that the problem of adjustment to the Negro's newer surroundings is the problem of justice in America, and is chiefly determined by the attitude of the white race toward the Negro. "Along with others, I have been charged with approving this Negro concentration in cities, and some may think that I am not in sympathy with education in agricultural arts, and with other efforts for improvement among rural Negroes. With education in agriculture I am in hearty sympathy, and there is not an effort for the improvement of Negro rural communities that does not have my heartiest endorsement. But what I am trying to call attention to is that the present migration to cities which we all observe, is a fairly constant movement that will result in a large, permanent Negro urban population, in the face of what is being done in the rural community; and that education and other measures to meet rural conditions, however effective, should not lead us to lessen our concern about the conditions growing up in the cities. During this month I have noticed articles in two leading newspapers claiming that there is a decided back-to the land movement of all our population. Especially may we wish the Negro to remain on the farm. But however decidedly we may agree upon the wisdom of his returning there, yet such opinion and argument that he is returning are not all erroneous, but wrong in view of the facts in the case. As loyal American citizens, we need to face these facts and act accordingly. "The second division of my subject is that of the segregation of the Negro population within the cities into districts and neighborhoods. This can be more easily presented because evidences of it are open to every observer. New York has its "San Juan Hill" in the West Sixties, its Harlem dis. VOL. XVII1. trict of over, 25,000, within about fourteen city blocks; Philadelphia has its Seventh Ward; Chicago has its State street, and Baltimore its Druid Hill avenue; Louisville, Ky., has its Chestnut street and its Smoketown; Atlanta its South and West Ends. These are examples taken at random which are typical of cities, large and small, North and South. "As in the case of migration to the cities, the segregation within the ciites is caused by strong forces at work, both within and without the body of the Negroes them selves. First, of course, is the natural desire of Negroes to be together. The consciousness of kind in family, racial, and neighborhood ties bind them closer to one another than to their white fellow-citizens. But, as Negroes develop in morals, intelligence, and in their standard of living, they wish to move to better surroundings than those allotted to them and their less fortunate black brothers. This desire, contrary to what some claim, is not because they care especially to live in white neighborhoods, but because they have learned that they can get better houses, better public facilities, and other comforts of life by the change. Just as the Hebrews, Italians, Slavs, and other immigrants who are crowded into segregated surroundings when a better economic foothold enables them to secure improvements, so Negroes who can raise their standard of living seek better neighborhoods in which to reside. "But the Negro meets an opposition from his prospective white neighbors that does not confront the immigrant who has shuffled off the coil of his Continental condition. For it is a peculiarity of many white Americans that, while in the North, they accord to the Negro political privileges, and in the South they treat him with individual kindness, they do not wish to have him own a residence in the same block. They profess the ideal principal of the brotherhood of man, but prefer to reach over into another ward to grasp their black brother by the hand. "Now this opposition of white neighbors is not always based upon the reasonable objection to ignorance and filth, for it expresses itself as decidedly against the cul- State Hist & Nat Hist Biosci State House HANTS WE ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD tured families of Negro ministers, lawyers, physicians, and business men of Harlem as it does against the ignorant and vicious element of Myrtle avenue. Negroes find that respectability is hardly a recommendation to impartial treatment, and that even the willingness to pay a higher rental does not often secure houses in desirable localities. "This opposition has expressed itself in various ways. In some cities it has been effective through agents and owners. When the real estate agents or owners could not or would not prevent a Negro invasion of a block or neighborhood, sometimes the white tenants and householders have gathered their belongings together, like the Arab, and as silently moved away. In Baltimore the opposition has become consciously organized and secured city legislation, while in Kansas City recently it sank to violent criminality, and used dynamite to wreck residences inhabited by Negroes. "And what is the sequel of this segregation within the city? In many cases it means less effective police protection; in others it means unpaved or poorly paved, unswept streets; absence of adequate sewerage, ungathered garbage, and the lack of other sanitary requirements. It often causes the respectable and decent to be unable to protect themselves and their families from contact with vice and crime, because the blocks in which the respectable and disreputable may live are limited. It means in some cities poorer street car service for the Negro section. It frequently leads the white community to an unjust judgement of these neighborhoods as may be seen by the sobriquets of "Little Africa," "black bottom," "nigger town," and families who live in these neighborhoods are all lumped by popular opinion into one class. "The last but not the least serious result is that the better element of white people and the better element of colored people are thus entirely removed from neighborhood contact; they know hardly anything of their common life and tend to become more hostile toward each other than toward the strangers without the gates. "Now, with this permanent migration and decided segregation there is developing and crystalizing a Negro world that in many of the cities has a life almost separate and apart both from white people and from the life of the white community. In the North, where larger liberty in some lines obtains, the home life, the church life, and much of the business life of Negroes and separately conducted. In the South, with separate street-car arrangements in practically every city, with separate coaches on railroads, separate ```markdown ``` schools, separate churches, and even separate cemeteries, a large part of the life of many Negreos is separate from the whites almost from the cradle to the grave. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. E. A. Williams was on the sick list last week. Rev. A. Richard received the sad news of the serious illness of his baby girl at his nome in Junction City, Ark. Mrs. Marie Cochran left for Adamana, Ariz., where she will receive a position as head cook in the State Hotel. Easter Sunday was well observed in our city, the Mt. Olive Baptist church and the A. M. E church held beautiful exercises at their respective churches, and all the participants on the program were well trained and rendered excellent services for the occasion and all who attended the exercises were well pleased. Rev. G. H. Byas who has been collecting money for over a year for the purpose of building a Negro Sanitarium for the invilids and sick Negroes, will make his published report to the citizens as soon as he can get his accounts itemized, as he feels that this is the proper methods to take in the handling of public money. The Second District Arizona conference and Sunday School of the A. M. E. church that was held in this city came to a close last Thursday evening. Fairly good crowds were in attendance. We are at a loss to say whether it was a success or a failure, not a visiting layman or minister attended the conference, none but home talent was used on the program, yet outside talent was given space on the programs. Presiding Elder W. H. Prince did not put in an appearance. In some respects the conference received a cold shoulder. The people of our city who are always loyal and charitable to all visitors are wandering who is to blame for this deliberate slight. Rev. G. H. Byas the chairman of the conference cannot account for the stay at homes. Searches for Buried Treasure. A countess who lives near Rome it carrying on a search for buried treasure.

Their total wealth is estimated to be $600,-000. Greensbore, N. C. April 3. Because he had not paid a nickle that James Hill, a fourteen year-old boy of Goldsboro claimed was due him, Ned Jones, an old Negro, was shot and killed by the boy, who, it is stated, fired two shots with a rifle. After the killing he was captured and held to court by a coroner's jury with an eleven-year-old boy who was with him. Both boys were placed in jail. To work hard for a living and fight race prejudice at the same time is the experience of many persons Dr. Booker T Washington says any man who has to work against poverty and race prejudice at the same time has a gigantic problem to cope with. That is true, and the success of the colored people in this country has been marvelous in view of the foregoing facts. It takes a person or a race of more than ordinary patience, physical and mental capacity, grit and persistence to stem the tide of injustice and inequality of opportunity such as the colored people in the United State have to combat, and yet they are brave and optimistic. Editor W. T. Stead, of the Review of Reviews, London, England, classes Dr. Booker T. Washington as one among the greatest men. Well measuring greatness by performance, guess the world must conclude that Mr. Washington belongs in the society of the great ones. As a matter of fact, no other one individual has built up so great an educational institution. There are greater concerns, none greater concerns, none greater of the kind, however, but they grew up with the genius of a hundred men as it were. Mr. Washington saw the seed of his plant; waiered it, saw it flourish and bear fruit. No other man in the world's history has such a claim on the world's gratitude.—Freeman. Richmond, Va., April 3.—A grand jury in the Hustings Conrt reindicted Monday A. W. Holmes, former grand master of the True NO 31 Reformers; W. P. Burrell, former secretary of the order; W. L. Taylor, former grand master; J. C. Robertson, former attorney of the order, and Edward Ellis, Jr., all former officials and directors of the defunct True Reformers' Bank, for the wrecking of the institution. The indictments against the officials were quashed last week, after counsel for W. P. Burrell had contended that they were invalid on the ground that they din not specify that the bann was insolvent. The new indictment contain six counts and are supposed to be proof against legal objection. The trials of the indicted officials will likely be at an early date, and are expected to consume a week. --- It is encouraging to find that so many of the white and colored people deeply appreciate Dr, Washington's teachings Thousands of both races gave him an enthusiastic welcome to Florida. In introducing him at Ocala, Judge W. S. Bullock said: "This is our land the land of our fathers and of our children. Beneath these vine-clad rocks and citrus groves rest the ashes of our dear ones. Beneath these sunlit skies and cotton fields we must live and our children after us. This is the home of the Negro. The prosperity of the one is the discouragement of the other. Our future peace, happiness and prosperity rest within our keeping. God grant that we may acquit ourselves as men, men worthy of so great a charge." Speaking for Ocala and that section, where Negro thrift and enterprise are particularly noticeable Judge Bullock said: "I testify to you with knowledge of the fact the Negro receives a fair trial in the courts of this section. In this section the Negro is given an equal show in the race of life. He enters into industrial contests, exhibits the fruits of his industry, and is awarded the first prizes at the county fair. As a merchant he is liberally patronized by the white people and when his wares and merchandise entitle him to it he is given the preference in trade. Their Heavy Headcap.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—The leading col- ored Baptst’ ministers of this city and vielnity have organized a minis- ters’ alliance, which has attracted more than ordinary ottention because of some of the articles embodied in the constitution and by-laws. One of the articles directs that any minister who frequents club rooms, Elks’ rests or uses profane language cannot be admitted to membership. The preamble to the constitution and two of the articles in the by-laws follow: Whereas, the New ‘Testament clear- ly teaches the value of Christian unity; and the sweetness of holy fel- lowship which is produced by meet- ing together.

A. Hunt, a Tuskegee gradu- ate, is principal and prime mover. The effort to have the instruction glyen by this industrial school prove of practical benefit to the f-rmers of the community is the cause of the movement, and it is sanctioned by the presence of agricultural and éduca- Honal officials of the state. Among those who will deliver addresses to the farmers are County Superintend- ents F. W. Greene of Houston, I. P. Nelson of Macon, and T. N. Andrews of Crawford; Prof. R. H. Powell, Jr., state superintendent of rural schools, Cartersville; Bishop C. K. Nelson and H. E, Stockbridge of Atlanta, and Dr. J. H. Dilliard of the Anna T. Jeanes and John F. Slater funds, New Or- leans. The principal address delivered Fri- day. was by P. C, Parks of Clark uni- versity, a recognized negro agricul- tural expert, who for the past few years has been leading the movement to have better farming methods adopted by the negroes of Georgia. Professor Parks emphasized the im- portance of organized effort on the part of educational agencies in the state at work among the negroes to improve rural conditions, declaring that the school and the church should ‘unite in this effort. “These agencies must in some way increase the earning capacity of the negro,” he declared. “It is worth more to the church to Improve the boys and young men in genoral than it is to re- claim the old.” Professor Parks urged the organiza- tion of boys’ corn clubs throughout the state and detailed the plan of co- operation upon which the six Atlanta schools are working, organizing corn clubs among the negro boys in about thirty counties, having nearly 600 boys participate. “According to the last census,” sald Parks, “there are about 66,000 negro boys between the ages of ten and eighteen years who receive practic: ally no training along agricultural Ines that would Induce them to be rural workers, The effort will be made by these larger institutions in Atlanta to strengthen the work done by their graduates in the state. Such points as Fort Valley, which is a rep- resentative of Atlanta ur‘versity; Americus institute, a representative of Atlanta Baptist college; the work done in Newton county, by P. D. Johnson, a student of Clark univer. sity, and some very effective work done by C. L. Bonner of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church.” A large number of negro farmers have related their experiences and given much helpful information to each other. ae THE : t 5 | MONARCH LIQUOR COMPANY : t ice z 3 eae < TELEPHONE Jay Ageia, gh 1516 x ; CHAMPA. 1231 { S>) ff court PLACE 7 LET 133 - : IMPORTED & DOMESTIC WINES & LIQUORS ¥ x S080) 88S PEOLOEOEOEOEOLOLOLO TOTO EOE O EEO EOL OEOTOTI EO TOTO TOTOEG ¢ D.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS During the meeting of the Trustee Board of Tuskegee Institute, at Tus- kegee, when a large number of influen- tial people of the north and west in- terested in southern education, were Present, nothing more significant was said, as reported in The Tuskegee Stu- dent, than the short address of Mr. Bruce Payne, of the Peabody Normal college at Nashville, a white institu- tion which “does not cater for colored trade,” who said: . “I never was quite as proud of be- ing a southerner as right now. I have never been to Tuskegee before and I cannot express to you the various and sundry emotions that have come to me in these few busy hours I have been here. “We understand something of the in heritance that is back of us all and it 4s difficult to analyze it, but perhaps ‘one thing that you and I know most about {s the sacrifice and the suffering and the toil that is back of this genera- tion. In that is a spirit of consecra- tion which you see in your father and in your mother and which I have seen ju my father and my mother and which any man of my age in the south has seen in his father and his mother, which we must through all time respect. That spirit of consecra- tion is a fine asset to have behind one. It is a fine idea to live to and it takes courage to practice it and prove the need we have of such a priceless her- itage. It 1s a great day to live in the south. “I was thinking a minute ago of the little schoolhouse which was over in the mountains of North Carolina, which, because it was the best, my father sent me to; but it was so poor- ly ventilated and heated that it took ten years of my life afterwards to re- cover from the ill effects upon my own constitution. These poor school houses are passing away and every boy and girl in the south is getting a better chance. I say it is a great day to live in the south. Even I wish I could go back ten years and make a new start so that I might have the privileges you are enjoying. It is a great day to be true to all the good things of your past, of your father's and mother's past. It is a great day to sacrifice and toil and suffer and if need be to die for such a country, for such a land as this from which you sprang.” “It is a great day to live in_ the south, measuring the distance from 1865 to 1912, a period of 47 years, and measuring the conditions of both races at the beginning and at the end- ing of that period. The white south, which had education of hand and head for moral restraint and civil gov- ernment and a basis in financial eredit, with home and chureh life firmly fixed in tradition and practice, has gained more in education and wealth in the 47 years of free labor and opportunity than it enjoyed under slave labor and restricted opportunity during the 245 years prior to 1865; but the gain of the black south has been vastly great- er and more creditable, as it had no foundation whatsoever to build upon. It now has reduced its agony of illiter- acy by quite one-half, bas built itself a home and school life and a credit able labor and business position, has laid itself a good foundation in all these upon which it is industriously and persistently building, so that the rounded century of freedom and oppor- tunity promises {t unprecedented re- sults. If it But holds fast the meta- physical and oultural as it gathers the material things of life, the martyrs of freedom will not have lived in vain.” ‘The United States Commissioner ot Education gives the following statis. tics as to the illiteracy among the whites: ‘The illiteracy among the native white population (1900) census) was five in a thousand in Washington, six in Sonth Dakota, six in Montana, six in Nevada, seven in Wyoming, eight in Massachusetts, efght in Minnesota, eight in Nebraska, eight in Connecti. cut, eight in Oregon, eight in the Dis. trict of Columbia, nine in North Da. kota, nine in Idaho, ten in Califor- nia, twelve In New York, twelve in Towa, thirteen in Wisconsin, thirteen in Kansas, fifteen in New Hampshire, seventeen in Michigan, seventeen in New Jersey, eighteen in Rhode Is. land, twenty-one in Illinois, twenty- three in Pennsylvania, twenty-four in Ohio, twenty-four in Maine, twenty- five in Oklahoma, twenty-seven in Colorado, twenty-nine in Vermont, thirty-six {n Indiana, forty-one in Maryland, forty-eight in Missouri, fifty-six in Delaware, sixty-one in Tex- as, sixty-two in Arizona, eighty in Mississipp!, eighty-six in Florida, 100 in West Virginia, 111 in Virginia, 116 in Arkansas, 119 in Georgia, 128 in Kentucky, 136 in South Carolina, 142 in Tennessee, 148 in Alabama, 173 in Loufstana, 195 in North Carolina and 294 In New Mexico. Emmett J. Scott, who for several years has been the private secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, at the annual meeting of the trustees two weeks ago was elected secretary of the Tuskegee institute. His friends throughout the country are congratu- lating him. The Alabanian rises to offer its congratulations. He is effi- cient and worthy.—Colored Alabanian. Equal justice to all in the southern states will bring about an earthly par: adise between the’ white and black man of the south, The negro has never had a better friend than the southern white man, neither has he had a more bitter enemy than he, and this is the question that {s puzzling the world, when they hear rumors of wars, rumors of lynch and mob law. A colored woman was funeralized at one of the largest colored churches in this city a few weeks ago and a southern white man, a banker, attend: ed the funeral in company with his wife and others. He was so much im: pressed by the sermon delivered by the celored clergyman that he inquired of us his name. In the course of our con- versation he said that he was very much impressed with the sermon and that he was not only glad to attend the funeral of this colored woman, but ‘that he would have gladly acted as a pall-bearer had he been asked to do 80, and he meant every word he said. The affection and sympathy found in his bosom for this colored servant of his, are found in the bosoms of thousands of southern white men who would shed their blood in the defense of the orderly and upright negro. The ne- groes who know their places and stay in them, who work honestly and faithfully and ‘attend to their own business, are never without friends. The friction between the black and white man grows out of the spirit of equal rights. The white man in his attempt to destroy the spirit of social equality between the negro and him: self, becomes too passionate and In: stead of waiting on the justice of the law he resorts to anarchy, mob and lynch law which breeds and increases erime among his own race like the springing up of the gourd vine of Nine- veh. Equal rights and justice to all men in the courts will destroy mob and lynch law and rid the country of murderers and assassins. ‘The statistics of crime show a steady increase of murders in the United States and the majority of them are whites. Why should there be any among them with all the law in their own hands, is the question. We answer, they have misused the law. Equal rights and justice have no eyes to see, no color Hines to draw. — Charleston Messenger. We called on Jack Johnson in -his neers room at the Century theater in Kansas City. We sald: “Jack, they say you are drinking and dissi- pating so much that you won't be able to hold the championship very long.” “You tell them when I quit the ring I will still have the championship.” “Well, Jack, they say you are spend- ing your money fast; that you spent all you had on the European trip?” “Just say to them that I won't suffer. IT am well supplied with cash. Now you see, I am drawing $2,500 per week, and here are telegrams and let- ters begging me to accept engage- ments for several months at $2,500 per week. Now, if I was broke they wouldn't be offering me such money, for I would be glad to work for much less rather than to miss out.” He said he liked the French people. They have no prejudice. The Americans try to create race hatred in France, but don’t get very far with it. Johnson Is a very intelligent mah and is full of business, always looking ahead for breakers... His brother is traveling with him and looks after his ward- robe, and is his general all-around man. His wife is traveling with him. ‘They stopped over the Century thea- ter. He also has a man who travels as his representative. We asked Jack if that was his manager. He said, “No, I am my own manager.”—Topeka Plain Dealer. The negro's poverty and unorgan. ized resources are greater barriers in his path of pregress than the color of his skin. He must learn to get down to real practical business; to concentrate his industrial and commercial agencies and deyelop the resources of this great country, and thereby work out his own industrial, moral and intellectual sal- vation. The white men in business in Oak- land, Cal., put on foot last month a great display of their different bust- ness enterprises, A procession figured as one of the principal features, and The Local Negro Business league was Invited to take part and was given a conspicuous place in the procession. Let us have more upright dealings with one another as well as honest living. We need more men and wo- -men of trustworthiness and reltability. ‘The man and woman who can be de- pended on now is a great asset to progress. : There is no substitute for wisdom. ‘When you are not informed look wise and be silent.

COLORED EDUGATOR IS WELCOMED IN WASHINGTON OR. JAMES £. SHEPARD, PRESI- DENT OF NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL AT DURHAM, N. C., WAS GIVEN ROUSING RE- CEPTION IN THE NATION'S CAP- irate (BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING.) Washington, D, C., Special.—A rous Ing reception was tendered the bril Want young educetor, Dr. Jamee E Shepard, founder and president of the National Religious ‘Training school, Durham, N. C., when he addressed the famous Bethel Literary and Historical association in the Metropolitan A. M. E, church, this city, recently. His able and tangible conception of the possibilities of true racial uplift by building upon a foundation as set forth in his plans caused a unique Jovation for him on the aubject, "The Religious ‘Training the Hope of the Negro Race.” ‘This young apostle of & Gospel that has aroused a healthy propaganda among both _races throughout the country, and bringing about the needed good desired, was given such an enthusiastic indorse- ment that made this event an epoch- making one in the Jife of the Afro- American folk in the district. Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford of the Supreme court of the District of Columbia, introduced Doctor Shepard and occasioned prolific applause. He spoke of the peculiar need of such an Institution for the race and the re- markable growth and national scope this movement had attained and its Indorsement by the leading educators and philanthropists, One feature that lessee this event one of extraordinary significance was the remarks by Rab- bi! Abram Simon of the Jewish syna- gogue. This noble exponent for equal rights and justice heartily gave im- petus to the movement by his strong utterances at this meeting. For weeks a committee composed of representa- tive citizens had béen preparing for |the complimentary dinner by the | prominent citizens of this city, which | proved to be a noteworthy event. Dr. I. N. Ross, the well known pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and the ministers of the district gave their approbation of the purposes, aims and scope of the National Relig: fous Training school. The following | features of the coming ministers’ con- ference, to be held at the school July 6-13 inclusive, this year, were ably discussed by them, “What is the mor. al condition of the people in your community? Is crime on the in- crease? If not, what Is the cause of its reduction? "What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary conditions? 1s the death rate in. creasing? To what extent do you co- operate with Civic Improvement leagues? Has settlement work been conducted to any extent in your com- munity, and with what results? What has been the effect of the Temperance organizations, and do you co-operate with them? ‘To what extent has the work of the Y. M.C, A. and Y. W. C. A. been effective in your community? | Do you approve them? What ts. the | general fitness of the city and country | school teacher? What has been the attitude of the day school teacher to- wards the church and Sunday school? What is the real religious condition of our people? Revivals, how conduct: ed?” During the conference ministers of all denominations will be the guest of the institution for one week. Rev. Dr. Jesse L. Hurlbut, a. recog: nized authority on the Bible and noted author, and Rev. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, the great pulplieer and theologian, will be In charge of the expository features during the conference week The summer school was another sub: Ject discussed at this affair. ‘This event will begin July 3 and conclude August 11, 1912, ‘The chatauqua will be one of the greatest educational events, ever held in this section of the country for Afro-Americans. Some of |the mést noted lecturers and scholars will compose the faculty and prin- cipal features of the summer school and chautauqua of Doctor Shepard's echool. GRAIN DIET FOR HORSES. Horses do not absolutely demand a mixed grain diet. Feeding a mixed quantity of clover and timothy hay with corn alone, the animals have been found to get along just as well as with a mixed grain ration, The corn fed horses were Just as enduring as those fed oats, and they worked just as well in the hot weather as when tt was cool. Work horses should be fed with feeds that supply energy in capsule form, The use of corn or oats alone, without other grains, has been found desirable. Of the two, corn seems to be the most palatable. As regards economy, ear corn is usually cheaper per pound than oats, while their feed- ing value seems to be the same. BEEF BROTH. Two and one-half pounds of short- ribs of beef with enough cold water to cover, Put on slow fire and let sim- mer for two hours or fonger, until tender. When at boiling point add one small onion and two sprays of chopped parsley. One hour before done, add one-fourth cup of rice, one carrot cut up and salt, There should be a pint of stock when strained. Season and serve. Take the 2% pounds of cooked beef, spread top with tablespoonful of butter and put in oven long enough to brown. THIS NEGRO HAD SIXNAMES, SADLY DISTURBING THE COURT Atlanta, Ga.—Six names for one man who was known equally well by any one of the six, sadly disturbed the elty court of Atlanta when Gus Hogan was put on trial for larceny from the person, On the defendant's witness list were six names, “Call the witnesses, Mr. Clerk,” dl- rected an attorney, The clerk held up his list. “Sheep” Ryan,” he called. The cry was repeated by a bailiff. The door of the court room opened and a small and.extremely ugly darky appeared, hat in hand. He was decid- edly slim and qn one side of his face was a big scar. “All right, go out in the hall until we need you,” the clerk directed when the negro announced that he was “Sheep” Ryan, ‘The darky retired. | “‘Slim' Jackson,” cried the clerk. Again the call was repeated, and the same negro came through the door. “Here, we don't want you, we want ‘slim’ Jackson. Go out,” the bailiff directed, ‘The negro grinned. “Ab’se ‘Slim’ Jackson, too,” he de- clared, “Well, go on out,” he was told. “‘Skinny’ Johnson,” called _ the clerk. ‘The door opened and the negro with the scar again appeared. “I told you not to come back in here,” the exasperated bailiff said. “Yo' called mah name, boss,” was the reply, “I called ‘Skinny’ Johnson, I didn’t call you.” “Ah’s ‘Skinny’ Johnson, too,” the man of aliases replied. Everyone in the court room was get- ting Interested and the clerk called “‘Snake’ Williams." The door opened, this time cautious- ly, and slowly from around the corner appeared the head of the same negro. In a moment the andience was in a roar of laughter which lasted for sev- eral minutes, “I suppose your name 1s ‘Snake’ Williams, too, is it?” the bailiff asked when the laughter had subsided. “Yas, suh, dat's mah name.” The negro began to slide out the door when Judge Calhoun called: “Look here, boy, have you got any more names?” “Yas, sur, yo! hono’.” The judge turned to the clerk, “Mr. Clerk, in order to save time and this colored gentleman of the many cogno mens the trouble of opening and shut. ting the door a few more times, sup- pose you see if he isn't also the other witnesses in this case.” “Is your name ‘Runt’ Collins and ‘Shorty’ Green?” the clerk asked. The audience waited with bated breath. “Yas, sur. Ah’s bofe ub dem,” the negro answered, A few moments later the six wit nesses, embodied in one short and de. cidedly skinny negro, were testifying |on the witness stand. TO WORK WITH BEES. To protect one’s self against bees observe the following rules: Do not stand in the way of a swarm of bees, While working with the bees do not make any sudden motion with your hands or head, do not twinkle with your eyes, and perform all your work So as not to produce any shock. Never work at the hive when in perspiration, or during a rain or thunderstorm, for the bees are then more disposed to sting. Do not allow your breath to penetrate the hive. Bees hate the odor of alcohol, tobacco and similar things. Never work without using smoke, but use’ {t only moderately. The beginner will do well in working at first with a mask, at least with eye- glasses, and always with his head cov- ered, but without gloves. It is advis- able to wash the hands stung, so as to remove the odor of the poison. In the case of being stung, do not quiver, but remove the sting quickly by push- ing it out with one finger nail. By pulling {t out with two fingers the whole contents of the poison bag are liable to be pressed into the wound If the spot can be reached with the mouth the poison should be sucked out. Never crush a bee, as the odor thus produced incites the others to sting. The body gets gradually used to the bee poison. SUGGESTION ON DRAINING. Any kind of land can be drained. There is no trouble in laying tile in quicksand if one understands. After the ditch is dug and graded then the tlle should be laid by the operator backing up, that is, he must not step on the tile after they are laid, if he does he will get them out of shape, but ff he has the bottom of the ditch properly graded and then the opera- ior backs up in laying the tlle and as he progresses, fills fine dirt in the bot. tom of the ditch on either side of the tile, being careful to put about the same amount on each side, and then some over the top so as to get this tile firmly fixed in {ts bed, then by put- ting on a foot or more of dirt there will be no difficulty about walking over the ditch or filling it In any way you please, The great trouble is ex- perienced in not allowing the tile to settle where they are placed. If the depth of the outlet {s sufficient I think it would be proper to lay these tile just about at the bottom of the muck where it is deepest, and then where {t {s only several inches deep the tile would go lower, but if you get the tile just below the muck then they will work best and drain the land thor- oughly.—Colen C.

A CLEAN ELECTION AND AN HONEST BALLOT FOR EVERY VOTER. This is the slogan of the political reformer. It is the crying need to-day in all large cities of this country, Denver being no exception. New primary and election laws were necessary to give legality to elections and make it possible to convict illegal voters, but what is needed more than anything else is new life and clean motives within the inner circles of political precincts. Not a class of men who contrive as to how far they can go and evade the letter of the law but how much they may assist in making the law doubly effective and secure. Elections will never occupy a plan higher than the level of public sentiment in regard to election methods. That political parties have a mission is self evident. That their mission is to serve or suppress some principle of vital importance to the happiness or well-being of every citizen is also a truism. But is this true in regard to the political parties and the colored voters of Colorado? Heretofore the colored voters have had no voice in the councils of the political parties, no part in their caucuses and absolutely no and in directing their policies, but they have been compelled to remain wholly on the outside and take whatever consideration that is offered to them. A people that have no part in the councils of a party, be the party what it may, cannot long retain interest in the party. It is self-evident that the political parties of Denver are approaching a crisis in their career and they will need all of the support possible in the coming campaign.

An excess of vanity brings ridicule upon its possessor, just as an utter lack of it inspires contempt in the beholder. Of the two, ridicule is the least harmful; moreover, the object of jibes and jests always possesses the power to modify and refine excessive vanity into wholesome, elevating pride. Tobacco by the Yard. On Saturday afternoons in the Port Antenio market, on the island of Jamaica, a dozen or more negroes may be seen selling "rope" tobacco by the yard.

A Tallangatta (Victoria) woman, after undressing her child in the kitchen one evening recently, told the little girl to run upstairs to bed, relates an Australian exchange. The child whimpered and asked not to be sent upstairs without a light. The mother after scolding the child for her foolish timidity, got a light and accompanied her upstairs, when she was horrified to find a large black snake curled up on the pillow. She Needs a Beau Says a woman in her new book: "I hate all men! I loathe their habits! I simply turn from all their pleasures with a shudder! I cannot tolerate them in guise of either lover, husband or friend!"

The Easter services were better than ever, The church pane a beautiful flower garden with sinking birds and happy children singing the praises of the risen Lord. The com- mittee rendered faithful service in making the church beautiful, for which they have our heartfelt thanks. The junior choir with their vestments made @ beautiful picture. Mrs. Dooley ana Rice worked very faithfully to pre- pare these little ones for Easter. The senior choir held forth at night. A large audience greeted the participants and was not disappointed in coming. Mrs. Hicks and her co-workers de- serve much praise for this excellent showing. ‘The Woman's Home Missionary will render a special program Sunday even- ing, April 28th. Mrs. A. C. Peck will be one of the speakers. ‘The first official board has met ana made great plans for the future. There will be a beautiful silver set present- ed to the one raising the highest amount of money over $10. The com: mittee appointed to arrange for this contest is Mrs, Anna Rice, Mrs. Em- ma Galimore and Mrs. Mary L. Hicks. Everything augurs success for the coming conference year. Scott's is doing some spring cleaning. ‘The cob- webs are being brushed down and some who have been sitting on the wheels of progress have been request- ed to move on. The forces for right- eousness are getting together, and we look for great things in the future. ‘The subject for Sunday morning will be “Christ Points Out to Us the Gate of Life.” “Enter ye in at the straight gate, and broad is the way that lead- eth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.’"—Matt. 7:13, 14. At night an expository sermon will be de: livered. . You are Invited to hear these discourses. ‘There will be an entertainment, “aunt Jerusha’s Quilting Party,” given by the Woman's Home Missionary So- clety on Thursday evening, May 2nd. Notices will appear in the papers about the different characters who will appear on the program. Mrs. Mary L. Hicks will lead the Epworth League Sunday evening. The thought for the month is “The Brink of Ruin and the Man of the Hour.” Subject for Sunday evening, “Isiah’s Jerusalem Home—the Deca- dent City America’s Peril,” Isa, 1:21- 24; Matt. 11:20-24. Come prepared to heip discuss the lesson Lawyer G. G. Ross has’ been select- ed by the official board as the new Sunday School superintendent. Law- yer Ross is well qualified in this de- partment of the church, His plans) will be modern and the Sunday School lover is invited to attend and make things interesting and lively. The pas- tor, will conduct a men’s Bible class in Connection with the Sunday School. The Sunday School will not be changed to morning, as it has been reported by some one not responsible. The same hour will be in vogue. We wish to call our people’s atten. tion to the Wednesday evening class meeting and urge attendance of all the members. These meetings are very important in the Methodist church. Here are the springs of the spiritual life of the church. Come and drink and you will find life’s burdens easier to bear.

Perfect weather, overflowing con- gregations, excellent music, impressive services, combined to make Easter day all that could be desired, and a day long to be remembered in the history of the Church of the Holy Redeemer. A point had been reached in the spiritual life and material well being of the ‘church never before at- tained and the watchword is still “For- ward.” It now becomes imperative upon us to provide more room for the increas- ing congregations, so that our mem- vers and visitors may be made com- fortable at all times. On Monday morning, therefore, while the blessed memories of the Easter day's services were still fresh and delightful are sought out and employed an architect to make plans and specifications for an extension of the nave of the church. ‘The contract will be imme- diately let and the work pushed, so that when the record-breaking confir- mation class is presented to the bishop of the diocese on the evening of Sun- day, April 28th, there will be room to accommodate the lay congregation that will assemble to engage at the solemn and impressive service. The formal induction of the vested choir, which was postponed from last Sunday, chiefly because to do so would have unduly lengthened a service al- ready necessarily lengthy, will take place on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, The Priest Father Brown will preach A special sermon. Subject, “The White Robed Throng.” It being Low Sun- day, there will be choral solemn cele: bration of the Holy Eucharist. At the evening service the Sacrament of Holy Baptism will be administered to the last class of candidates preparatory to the Sacrament of Confirmation. "The subject of the special sermon will be “St. Thomas, the Doubter.” Let any who may be overfoyous because the Lenten season is over bear in mind at least some of the teachings of Lent— self-restraint, moderation in all things and the Divine call to separation from the world. “Come out from among the ungodly and be ye separate and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord God Al mighty.” By kind permission of the Very Rev Dean Hart the Altar Guild of St. Mary, the Virgin, will hold their first entertainment under the new regime in the chapter house, Bast Thirteenth averfue and Clarkson street, on ‘Thurs: day evening nest, the 18th inst. at 8:30 o'clock, The girls are sparing no pains to make this festival a success ‘and the “Pictoro Literary Mariefest” promises to be not only unique in name, but also unique in character. ‘Animated pictures, literary and mu sical—vocal and instrumental—selec: tions and light refreshments will con- stitute the program. You will be more than amply compensated for a 15-cent admission ticket. Apply to any of our altar girls for one. Remember the confirmation instruc: tion class that is being held every Suday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The time fs drawing near for confirmation. Let all be diligent and prompt in their attendance. We gladly welcome you to any or all of our services. FRIENDS ALL WANT IT.

Washington, D. C.—Indian pictures, Indian corners and everything or any- thing indian, do you know that the nation maintains within this Mecca of the tribes and races a photograph gal- lery for red men only? ‘I happened into this unique institu- tion a short time ago, happily at the moment while sat posing ‘midst all the awe and majesty of a king, a pictur- esque and stolid chief of the wild lands, an aboriginal brave bedecked in the richest of reds and purples, be- smeared with the gaudiest of barbaric cosmetics, benecklaced with the for- midable claws of the grizzly, be-ear- ringed with bells whose jingles kept cadence with each toss of his proud head. This proud chieftain had journeyed far to greet the “Great Father.” The portrait for which he posed was one of the perquisites of his mission. In a dressing room adjacent to the studio his suite of attendants had consumed a full hour and a half in grooming him tor the sitting. Fifteen thousand negatives, repre- senting practically every aboriginal tribe of North, Central and South America, have been made by the official photographers, partly in this studio and partly in the field, All the work is done under the Bureau of Ethnol- ‘ogy, of which the studio is a part. Every savage photographed re- ceives, gratis, one artistically mounted print from each negative for which he is willing to pose. These portraits the braves take home and tack up in their wigwams and tepees, exhibiting them to their friends with great pride and gusto. Indian portraits were scarce articles prior to this enterprise of the Bureau of Ethnology, The more uncivilized the red men, the more intense is his fear of the camera. Only stealth and diplomacy have overcome these scru- ples among the wild tribes, Willing- ness to pose has been one of the ac- companiments of gradual enlighten- ment The uncivilized or semi-civilized tribes look upon a camera just as they do a Gatling gun. Fear of material harm is but one seruple. To give any man one’s image is to give him supernatural control of one’s life influences—power which also would be assured did another possess a hair of one’s head or even the paring from | one’s finger nail, This Is a part of the creed of many tribes, ‘The average Indian fs averse to hay- Ing his profile photographed, Those of whom this view Is made invariably fail to recognize themselves. Although | Poor Lo is the embodiment of all hu- man vanities, he has never perhaps ar- ranged his mirrors to present to his eye a direct profile view of his sto- Jeal features, “Me no like, No, that nd me. That half a man.” ‘his, or words to this effect. is the comment made by many red braves upon whom ts brought to bear the presuaston that profile por- traits represent them. ‘The superstition that a profile por- trait will cause the side turned away from the camera to wither up and die Is one which has been confided to the photographers by several Indians. Indian children are always the first to make friends with the photogra- pher; men the next; women the last. For purposes of ,anatomical study study, semi nude poses have been at tempted, but to these the women al: most invariably object. An instinetive modesty forbids. “In dealing with a group never pho- tographed before, we are always faced by the obstacle of fear,” said a pho- tographer. “Frequently in the field we have to pay subjects sums of money, feed them handfuls of sugar, or bribe them with presents, Even then, the group having been posed to my taste, to see their Images sudden- ly disappear from my ground glass during the operation of focusing, 1s a common experience. I often raise my head from the cloth only to find that ail of my subjects have vanished ‘like breath Into the wind,” “Wrequently I commence operations py unscrewing one of my lenses and atilizing it as a sunglass to Nght my. gipe. ‘This invariably causes the cu- Hous crowd to gather nearer to behold the miracle, which I repeat again and hgain. I then select the most friendly among them—usually the interpreter. Assurance that no harm comes to him often makes many converts. Never: theless, {t {s often necessary for one of our ethnologists to stand in the group as further guarantee that the {nstrument fs loaded neither with bul- lets nor blasts from the infernal re- gions. “The Indian will not smile while posing. He assumes either a scowl or a look of abject melancholy. Nearly all of the aborigines with whom | Coogee Hogg inert alll etal des odes agen es ag ma graphed while brimming over with their proverbial stocism. “Ail of the Indians whom I have photographed are exceedingly vain. They invariably ask for mirrors. “Two old Otoes came up to be pho- tographed some time ago. The first that posed wore a bear-claw necklace. The other, when his turn came, want- ed to borrow it. The owner held on to It like grim death, but the coveter pulled and hauled the precious orna- ment till I feared that it would be crushed to bits, A furious struggle ensued and I held fast, to my tripod, fearing that the instrument would be Kicked over. Finally the troubles were arbitrated, but the owner of the necklace won his point. “Another day an old Ponka chief came in ostensibly to be photographed. He brought an interpreter with him and the two hemmed and hawed for a while. Soon it came out that the old fellow wanted to make a bargain with me before he would be willing to sit. T evaded these advances and busied my- self preparing the apparatus. The old chief sulked and refused to be photo- graphed until I assured him that he would be given something for posing. 1 explained that I would give him one print from each negative. This would not suffice “The interpreter, after digesting sev- eral minutes of pow-wow, explained that the chief wouldn't sit unless I made him a life-size portrait in colors, put a handsome gold frame around it and gave him $2.50 to boot. I pointed to the door. ‘This brought the old man to time. He sat for his picture with a most benignant smile on his face. This was about the only smiling Indian portrait 1 ever made. “When the Indians come to Wash- ington they almost always bring their most elaborate regalia to wear while calling upon the president. Some Ya- kima braves who appeared at the last | New Year reception at the White House stopped by here on their way | to see the ‘Great Father’ and asked me to have them photographed just as they would appear before him. “If there Is anything which exceeds the Indfan's vanity, it is his curfosity.

Once hav- ing been posed, they will stand as still and firm as a rock until I have focused and made the exposure.

A year ago, while he was in the city we photographed him again. A compari- son of the two portraits shows that lie does not look a year older than at the first sitting.” MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS AP. PROPRIATED FOR COL- — ORED SCHOOLS Louisville, Ky. _ (Special).—The state legislature of Kentucky closed its business, and of the numerous bills passed, not one was aimed at the abridgement of the negro’s rights, but on the other hand the colored people have cause to rejoice in that quite a sum was appropriated for the educa- tion of the young men and women of the state. Frankfort Normal and In dustrial Institute received $17,500 for improvements to be made in the two new buildings recently erected. The Western Industrial school was voted $10,500 for the erection of a small school in the western part of the state. The Kentucky Home Society for the caring of little children with out parents was given $5,000. All the schools have been remembered each ‘with appropriations. Dr. C. H. Par- ‘ish Is head of the home and Mr. Lee 'L, Brown ts the secretary. Mr. Brown Is a young man and fs a graduate of Eckstein Norton University. He is a hustling and progressive young citi- zen and does splendid work in the newspaper fleld, also conducts a steno- graphic school and Miss Marie Streaty 1s his assistant. The finest school building in the south is that of the new Lincoln school. It was dedicated Feb. 12 with appropriate exercises. Its erection was begun about 22 months ago, during the regime of the old school board. Its original cost was estimated at $45,000. Varlous additions and im- provements, added from time to time, brought the cost of the buflding to a much higher figure, and when the present board came Into office it was found necessary to appropriatte still more for its completion. Its total cost amounts to $80,000. It {s located at Morgan and Bland streets and accom modates 450 pupils, It has every mod ern convenience and Prof. J. W. Bel: 1g the principal HOW FOREIGN IMMIGRATION WILL ULTIMATELY SOLVE NEGRO PROBLEM Vane Of the most diicull Prepiems of our nation today is the problem of the races. The enslaving and the subsequent emancipation of the ne- gro bequeathed a legacy of trouble to the American people which is, now, one of the most difficult problems of the nation. It is difficult, because of is complexity and seemingly vexing phases. It is of the deepest concern, | Because the negro must somehow be built into the national life and char- Jacter of America. For us, the prob: |1em means the security of the negro’s welfare in this country. His welfare | seems to be endangered and imper- fled; yet, we shall see that it is real |ly secure. The problem presents | three phases: An industrial, an edu- cational and a civil phase. Now, you may ask, how can foreign immigration help to solve the negro problem? First, let us see how it | will affect these three phases of the question; then, you shall judge for | yourself if it will not help to solve | the problem. | At present, there is much alarm | among our people over the immigra- | tlon laws which are being made in the | southern states. But, we have no need to fear. The south is far from being overcrowded. There are thou. sands, yes, millions, of acres of land unoccupied and unused in this coun- try which ought to be occupied by somebody. The present demand for labor, upon which the Industriaal and | business prosperity, in a larg: meas- ure depend, cannot remain unsatisfied. | This explains why foreign immigrants are being brought to this country in such large numbers, Some of them— | the Greeks for example—are making remarkable progress. The Afro-Ameri can can learn a lesson from this quiet but persistent people. We hear a little of them here in the south; but they are slowly saving thelr spare means and are bending every effort towards starting and developing va: rious lines of business. They have al- ready reached a point where they ere establishing banks and other, large enterprises. ‘The Greeks of the south compel us to recognize them be cause of their progress. The Afro: Americans can compel the white races to recognize them when they prove their real worth; their practi cal ability by acquiring personal and real estate and by establishing banks and other enterprises. "Now, after forty-seven years of ex- perience, our race is beginning to ‘realize the importance of its own industrial and business development: Already, we are purchasing every year thousands of acres of land and “we are founding schools and banks. “Then too, our patronage, which, for- merly, m a large measure went to the white race is now turning towards our own people. In proportion as the members of a race learn to respect each other, in proportion as they learn to invent, foster and establish busi- ness enterprises and conduct them in a business-like way, in like propor- tion will such a race be respected by its fellow countrymen. Consequently the thrifty immigrants, bringing their healthy competition, which we 80 “much need, will quicken our energy; ‘stimulate us to be more industrious; cause us to buy more land, build bet- ter houses, have larger bank accounts ‘and, thus, present to the world tangl- ble and visible evidence of our worth as a race. By making constructive progress along industrial and econo- mic lines we will secure the respect and consideration of our neighbors. ‘The educational phase is equally as important. It is true that the Afro- Americans have made unparalleled progress along the line of general ed- [ucation. Thousands of our young men and women are in academies, pre- | Daratory schools and colleges. ‘Wer | groes are occupying prominent places in the professional and in the artis- | tic world. But, as a race, we have not paid enough attention to techni- cal training. We have too few well- trained, well-educated master mechan- ies; too few master masons and too few civil engineers and architects, Foreign immigration will be an incen- tive to this kind of education—which the masses need—which we as a race ure neglecting. The better the ne- gro is prepared for service, the better and more efficient service he can ren- der and the greater will be the de- mand for those services. The indl- vidual or the race that is prepared gets something to do, regardless of his previous condition. Idleness means ignorance; ignorance means crime: and crime means a heavy burden to the race. Therefore, we can see that the safety of the race Is in the direc ton of industry and education, which will be developed very largely by com- petition, The civil phase s of no less im- portance. Foreign immigration 1s caus- ing the negroes to unite. ‘They must dent Roosevelt believes that there 1s but one way, in the solutior of such an intricate problem and that 1s by dealing with black men as you do with white men. It is the same rule which must be appliied to rich men and poor men; that is, treating each man, whatever his color or creed or social position, with even-handed jus- tice according to his real worth as a man. The white man ought to treat well the colored man who shows by his life that he deserves such treat- ment. Surely it is the highest wisdom to encourage individuals of whatever race who are honest, industrious and law abiding and who make good and safe neighbors and citizens. Again, as a people, we have no need to fear that the coming foreign- ers will make it impossible for us to earn a livelihood, We believe that much of the talk about the movement is simply a conspiracy to frighten the negro. It is evident that the south, as a whole, does not want the influx of foreigners. It was only # few years ago that the west settled her Japan- ese question, and the south is gather- ing material for a far greater trouble than she has ever witnessed. The bomb-throwing Helots and the black- handed Italians of Hurope will cer- tainly teach her a lesson. And the south will learn in the end that she has the best set of laborers right at her own door, and if she knew how to treat them decently she would find them kindly, intelligent, efficient and reliable. But after the foreigners have come over and begun their long strikes, have hurled their bombs and have smashed up cars and factories, the whites will become alarmed, will band themselves with the negroes and begin to respect them as fellow-coun- trymen. A common danger and a. common sympathy will unite these long estranged nelghbors. The black man will help the white man and the white man will help'the black man. BILL REPORTED FAVORABLY IN THE U. S. SENATE FOR EXPOSI- TION CELEBRATION IN 1913— APPROPRIATION OF $250,000— SAVANNAH CO. TO HAVE CHARGE WITH GOVERNMENT COMMISSION. Washington, D. C.—The senate com- mittee on industrial expositions gave its approval to the Bradley bill pro- viding for the holding of an exposition in the summer of 1913 to celebrate the semi-centennial anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. The president of the United States is to appoint a commission, consisting of the secretaries of the treasury, war and navy, to make the plans for the exposition. An expenditure of $250,000 also would be authorized. ‘The exposition is to be under the Joint supervision of the commission and the Semi-Centennial American Emancipation Exposition company, which has its headquarters in Savan- nah, Ga., and which has been promot- ing the exposition. The exposition is to be held either in the District of Columbia or in one of the states where slavery existed be- fore the Civil war. It is proposed that the exhibits shall show the his: tory, progress and present condition of the negro race in this and other countries. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ACHIEVE. MENTS OF PEOPLE OF COLOR TO BE PUBLISHED BY DANIEL MURRAY. Washington, D. C—A race publica tion of unusual merit and of extra- ordinary importance is about to see the light. It is to be an encyclopedia and compendium of the literary, mu- sical, artistic and scientific activities and accomplishments of people of col- or in modern times especially in Amer- ica. Biography and history will be fully covered. ‘The compilation is the work of Dan- jel Murray and has occupied a good part of his time for over a dozen years. During this time Mr. Murray has been an employe of the Library of Congress which gave him exceptional opportu- nities of which he diligently aad cow seientiously availed himself. The work will be issued in about six large volumes and may be looked for the coming summer, INCREASED POPULARITY OF EM- BROIDERIES. Embroiderles for early spring will be more popular than ever. The ten- dency to a return to trimmed skirts In all fabrics, and especially to foot trimmings and threetier effects, ts one reason for this popularity, In these days of panel effects, band trim- mings, fichu and surplice outlines and galloons, bands and insertions of ya- rious width are absolute essentials fh the making of gowns. Widths of embroideries range from one inch to 18 inches, but the four to nine inch widths are those most used by de- signers of gowns. Colbert embroidery bands and all- overs are expected to reach a great vogue. It is of the cut-work order, re- sembling, in an enlarged way, Car- rickmacross lace, and also giving an effect similar to that of real Venise lace. It will be much used for lapels or revers on coats, as well as for hat trimming or gown garniture. Allover embroideries have been very popular for several seasons, but new uses for them have been evolved from fashions in garments made of ‘other fabrics. As the season advances little coatees, overblouses, jackets, holeros and Etons will be created, to be worn over simple muslin gowns, thus making them dressy at a mo- ment’s notice. ‘There will be a larger use than ever for all-overs in whole gowns, parasols, hats, tunics and un- aaa e The Prior Furniture Co. 1814 Curtis Street We buy and sell new and second hand Furniture, also repair work.

WITMAMSON HAFFNER GO ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS , ol CIS, SCAU DENVER, COLO HAMPTON NEGRO CONFERENCE SEVERAL HUNDRED COLORED FARMERS OF VIRGINIA MEET AT HAMPTON UNIVERSITY TO. DISCUSS CONDITIONS. oo Va.—The Hampton insti- annual meeting of the Negro Farmers’ conference brought together Several hundred enterprising and Prosperous farmers of Virginia, who Hee “ager to Improve their farm prac- secure ces ure increased yields per Year by year the farmers’ confer- ence has brought to Hampton a larger number of visitors from other states. This year the visitors came from twelve states and Canada, and included a number of government workers from Washington, D. ©. ‘This conference {s managed by the agri- cultural department, of which Mr. Charles K. Graham is the director. INTERESTING EXHIBITS. __ The large school gymnasium, which accommodates over fifteen hundred People, was filled to overflowing with interesting exhibits of farm, school, and home products. The entries of corn alone reached one hundred and seventy. The showing of seed wheat and rye was extremely good. Similar statements could be made concerning all the exhibits. Surely the Hampton Farmers’ conference was a telling testimony to the thrift and progress of Virginia negroes and an indica- tion ef what is being quietly done through the co-operation of many agents—the preacher, the teacher, the farm demonstration agent, the busi- ness man, the housewife—to solve the race problem. WOMEN’S MEETING. The welfare of the negro race 1s 80 closely associated with the Ife in the home that Hampton institute gave a prominent place to the discus- sion of home problems in the farm- ers’ conference. The heads of the domestic arts and domestic science departments, as well as others who are interested in home economics, met the colored women and discussed the practical problems relating to health and hygiene, and gave some Interesting demonstrations in caring for the sick. FARM MACHINERY. The advantages and purposes of various farm implements, as well as the conditions under which they can be used to advantage, were informally discussed by men who had had prac- tical experience in farming. Plows, harrows, and farming machinery re- ceived attention. NEGRO CANNING CLUBS. Under the direction of Jackson Da- vis, Richmond, Va., state supervisor of elementary schools in Virginia, and with the co-operation of the sev- enteen colored supervising teachers, who are working in eighteen counties of Virginia, a splendid movement for teaching negro girls the art and value of canning vegetables and fruits has jbeen in successful operation ever since the spring of 1911. This orga- | nization is known as Negro Home Garden association, DRESSING POULTRY. Miss Mary Yates of Toronto, Cana- da, who {s recognized upon two con- tinents as the greatest authority upon the subject of table poultry, gave Ja demonstration of dressing poultry |for roasting. Miss Yates was at one time connected with the royal house- hold of England, and was poultry in- structor at the Studley Agricultural college, England. She is now on the Ontario government lecturing staff. DR. FRISSELL SPEAKS. Dr. Hollis B. Frisell, the princtpal of Hampton, expressed his _satisfac- tion with the excellent, progress which | the colored people are making in ag- | rloulture and tn kindred lines of work throughout the south. He declared | that the best people of the whole | country are intensely interested in what the colored people are doing to better the conditions in the home, in the farm, and in the schoolroom He emphasized the importance of the negro preacher in the forward move- ment among the colored people. He showed the relation of Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary of the general ed- ucation board, to the securing by the people of better schools, better homes and better agricultural results. Co- operation, in his opinion, is the great word of our modern times. MAJOR MOTON’S ADDRESS. Robert R. Moton, the well-known commandant of cadets at Hampton in- stitute, spoke to a large audience of white and colored people on the value of teaching children to love the things by which they and their par- ents have lived and must continue to live. He said that men were slowly getting dver the !dea that anybody could be “just a farmer.” While he values reading, writing and arithme- tlc, nevertheless he rates living as much more important than mere ac- ademic studies. , POTATO. RAISING. pet P T. Cole of the Norfolk at $36.50 per ton; 400 pounds cotton seed meal at $28.00; 400 pounds tank- age at $28,00; 400 pohrdlu mfwyppp age at $40.00; 150 pounds sulphate of ammonia at $70.00; 750 pounds acid Phosphate at $13.00; 200 pounds sul- phate of potash at $47.00. This gives a fertilizer mixture costing $30.55. He recommended the use of from 1,000 to 1,800 pounds of this fertilizer per acre for potatoes. The unusual of this formula is that the nitrogen is obtained from several sources, and is therefore available for the potato dur- ing the whole growing season. CITY-BRED FARMER. George A. Cosgrove of Willington Conn., a white farmer of ability and respect, told, the story of his emigra- tion from the city to the farm. At the age of fifty-seven, broken down in health and with « small amount of capital, Mr. Cosgrove, who was ‘city born ‘and city bred, moved with his wife and two grandchildren on a farm. ‘The financial panic of 1893 closed the factory In which Mr. Coc: grove had served as a shipping clerk for five years. The little capital which Mr. ‘Cosgrove and his wife had saved was used in buying a small farm and the necessary tools. No one in the family knew anything about the com- mon duties of farm life. They were just as “green” as city people could be. “City people think,” said Mr. Cos grove, “they can go into the country and stay for weeks without incurring one cent of expense. Company soon came to us from New York, Wash- ington, Boston and other places. The abundance of our farm supplies made it a delight to entertain our friends instead of a burden.” NEGRO FARMING. The growth of demonstration farm work among the negroes of Virginia has grown very rapidly during the past five years, and its success has been largely due to John B. Pierce, a graduate of Tuskegee and Hampton, who has won the respect and esteem of the best white people of Virginia. Five years ago one negro demon: stration agent was sent to Gloucester county and helped thirty negro farm- ers to improve their land. Indirect- ly he influenced for good seventy-five per cent. of the negro population. Today there are seven negro agents, working in eleven counties of Vir- info, who come in touch with a thou: sand negro farmers and influence seventy-five per cent. of the negro population in these counties. Whereas the average acre belong: ing to the negro farmer in Virginia will produce fifteen bushels of corn, with the instruction given by the farm demonstration agents the yields may be increased from fifty to three hundred per cent. Instead of raising one crop, farmers are now raising two and three crops each year. Fewer acres produce more crops. Men are raising more kinds of food for them- selves and for their stock. “BACK” TO FORTY ACRES. The following dispatch from Lenox, Mass., to the New York Herald, is significant of a radical change in American agriculture: “Mr. George Westinghouse, Jr., the other day bought of Mr. John Sedg- wick his forty-acre farm near the Greenock Country Club in Lee. Mr. and Mrs. Westinghouse will go there to live the last of October. “Mr. Westinghouse has given up his position in Pittsburg and will devote his entire time to scientific farming in the Berkshires. It is understood that Mrs. Westinghouse never liked Pittsburg for a residence, and is much pleased with the idea of living in the hills.” As late as the civil war “forty acres and a mule” was considered enough land for a “round-log-cabin” and a negro family to occupy. As a change from “quarters” and slavery “forty acres and a mule” Was alluring. But no ocevpant of the manor house thought of life upon a forty-acre plan- tation. A gentleman needed, for a lib- eral living and an income sufficient to send the girls to boarding school and the boys to college 400 rather than forty acres. For dignity in the com- munity he needed 1,000 at least. And there are still in Kentucky a few farm- houses upon tracts of several thousand acres each. ‘The days of old-fashioned farming were good enough days for the own- ers of large tracts of land. They weren't bad days for owners of small- er tracts. But the time for the own- ership of very large farms, save by men of considerable wealth, is pass- ing. And the time has come when “forty acres and a mule,” or forty acres and a team, in the hands of a selentific farmer, may produce a good income. It is not so easy to direct scientific farming operations as it was to tell the overseer to put the land in the valley in corn, the uplands in wheat or tobacco, and let the hogs range in the woods and eat “mast” till time to harden them by. feeding them corn in the fattening pen. But land farmed scientifically accommo- dates a population several times as large as it accommodated when it was worked by old-fashioned methods. And in America, as in older countries, un- fenced range for cattle, requiring many acres to a steer and unsclentific- ally cultivated farms requiring 1,000 acres for a gentleman and forty acres for a freed slave, are out of date. Whether Mr. Westinghouse is a practical farmer or an “agricultural- ist” in the humorous sense, remains to be seen, but in the days of his granddaddy forty acres in the Berk- shires or elsewhere would have been enough for a country house, a lawn, a ‘garden and a cow pasture. It would eee have been regarded as a farm.— Loulsyille Courier Journal. THREE THINGS OBSERVED AT THE GREAT BOOKER T. WASHINGTON FARMERS AND WCRKERS’ CONFERENCE, ALA, The first thing 1 noticed was the unstinted hospitality of Mr. Washing- ton, his staff of about 200 teachers, and his student body of perhaps 1,800. The visitor at Tuskegee ins at once captivated by the attention that is given him not only by teachers and students, but by the “Tuskegee Wiz- ard” himself. He takes especial de light in seeing to it that the stranger within his gates is comfortably shel- tered, fed and entertained all for gratis, knowing his heavenly Father hath and evermore will reward such unbounded hospitality. As 1 observed, I thought how profitable it would be to us as a race, if the 11,000,000 of us in this country would learn and prac- tically apply in our every-day life such lessons on hospitality. Then the wicked doctrine of “Myself and wife, my son John and his wife—us four and no more’—would die, and then the hospitable people of earth would give it a decent funeral and turn out to the burying in great numbers The second thing that engaged my attention was the timely lessons on self-help and economy. As unprece- dented reports were made by the teach- er and farmer of phenomenal, indus- trial progress in the school and on the farm, It was easy to see that our race's greatest need is not a gift—a donation; but a job and knowledge as to how to hold that job, and do the work as well if not better than the other man. Don’t help the man di- rect, but help him to help himself. In this way the needy gets two bless- ings—the one is the help you give him and the other is the help he gives himself. The reports showed clearly that hundreds of negro farm- ers “are living and eating at home”— that is, living this year on what they made and saved last year. Our eco- nomic condition was ably discussed | by some of the best thinkers of the age, and many helpful remedies were suggested for our economic ills. The best way to be economical and saving is just to be economical and saving, and be it now. If you have not started start today and believe that you can save. Have faith, like the man who, perhaps, when told that the donkey could not run, knowing for himself, said: “You need not tell me that the donkey can't run, ‘cause I done seen what the donkey done done.” So we must not believe that We cannot solve our own economic problems, because we can. Dr. Wash- Ington and scores of others have de- monstrated the possibility. The Unit- ed States Postal Savings Banks that arewrow operating in many postoffices furnish excellent opportunities for sav- ing. In connection with our Negro Boys’ Improvement association here, we have organized a saving club. Sev- en of our little boys have bank ac- counts now, and others are preparing to join, That Mr. Washington ts thorough: ly interested in and notes carefully | the progress of his race in diffetent | sections is evidenced by the following | excerpt from one of his letters to the writer: “My dear Mr. Hicks: “.-. , I am very glad to note the evident progressive spirit on the part of the negroes in your section of the state. This is most encourag- ing. We are glad that you came to the annual Tuskege® negro conference and that you were pleased with what you sa#v and heard. “Yours very truly, “BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.” My third observation was the fact that here at this industrial school, in the very midst of all this industrial whirl, stands the Phelps Bible Train- ing school, under the management of the scholarly Dr. A. F. Owens, where the word of, God is daily taught, and around which as a center the indus- trial wheels of this great plant turn 1 thought, as I paused in a moment's meditation, what a mighty team Is this for the race's uplift—Religion, In- dustry and Education! Im an exhibition of hand carving and other arts and crafts work, a small settle, made to hide the un- sightliness of a steamer trunk in a small studio or other narrow quarters, excites as much interest as anything in the place. ‘The settle has a straight back and the side pieces that connect it with the front are cut off to slant sharply from the seat to each ‘side of the back, making a cosy cor- ‘ner at each end against which to rest. /A small oriental rug over the back, ‘another across the seat falling down ‘over the front with a couple of har- ‘monious pillows shows the settle off ‘to advantage.

Since the manufacture of this and other laces has been brought to such perfection, ‘there is no doubt that they will be used in great quantities during the coming season. The fashion of wearing lingerie and linen dresses over black silk slips or of sewing bands of black under insertions of lace, portends the popularity of cluny, Irish (and other’crocheted laces), and much Val. Some of the patterns in home crochet, and many of those in cluny, are about the most effective and practical of all, for this purpose, Carrickmacross and a number of heavy novelty laces are on the market for use in linen dresses and suits. Fine tucks and embroidery used in the Nghter weight dresses of linen or lawn, make up the most elaborate de- signs. Lace bands or motifs inserted show the embroidery design ¢arried over them as well as over the body.of the dress, whether the fabric 1s ge or of heavier linen, Val. lace in-mar- row edging serves to finish dresses and blouses on which heavier laces are used as insertions or overlays.

Deuver, Colo. SHIRTWAISTS MANNISH IN CUT Distinctive Feature of the New Tailored Garment—Masculine Air ls Feature Sought. Smart and trim, and very mannish in cut, are the new tailored shirtwaists. Made of white linen on white China silk of good weight, or white peau de crepe, they are ,all intended for the tub, and have not a frill. A back yoke, link cuffs and plain shirt sleeves are the rule for these garments. The yoke is an especially good feature, for it makes the shirt back almost proof against clinging to the shoulders after exercise on a hot day, It is because white is to be in unusual favor next summer that these cool, plain waists have been made, for anything white may be built on more severe lines than anything in colors. + “Frills just naturally seem to hang on pretty pink or blue dresses,” an old negro laundress once said, “but a white anything has to be just spick an’ span, especially them waists that looks like Miss Edith’s brother's shirts. They'll be wearing stiff bosoms next, I reckon, a-trying to look like the men.” Although several years have passed since the laundress, voiced her opin- fon the stiff bosom has not been at- tempted, but on the models mention- ed there is a little breast pocket for the handkerchief, which imparts a more masculine air to the garment. oF THE Seen 2A SOCIAL CLUB.

In fancy blouses of silk and chiffon small frills, or rather wide, short ones, play an important part. Frills to be worn with tailored gowns are becoming more full, forming a cascade below the throat. Two blouses shown here are characteristic of the season's styles. One shows the combination of linen, machine-made cluny lace, small tucks and Val. lace, and the other de- pends upon tiny tucks, in sheer batiste, with a little real Irish crochet and narrow Val. (for a finish) for its success. It is one of the daintiest of dainty model. New blouses and dresses are being made of fine cotton crepes. It may be bought with embroidered edges in flouncings just as Swiss, or yoile, may be. Then cotton crepes are not starched or ironed, although their lace trimmings must be smoothed ot pulled, when they are washed. Some of the new crepes of this character are very beautiful and dazzlingly white. Other new tub weaves are shown which require no starching or ironing, among them a fabric called |‘native,” is selling well. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. TWENTIETH: AND CHAMPA.

Among the decorations seen in the new millinery are lines of silk and other fabrics in the form of pipings or cords, which, though most inconspicu- ous, are by no means easy to apply. A cord formed of silk, shirred over wire, makes a smart finish for the brim of a hat, but it is one the ama- teur milliner or, in fact, the average professional, is not Ikely to deal with very successfully. Corded Cottons. ‘The cottons are lovely. Those in corded effects, especially corduroy and bedford cord, promise to be decidedly popular.
