C., says Civil Service Rules are Evaded. Clerkships Hard to Obtain. VOL. XIX. FINDS I PRE John H. Paynter of Washington, I Evaded. Clerkship Several months ago an article in the daily press asserted that a delegation of leading Negro officials of the government had called upon the President and had stated that general dissatisfaction existed among Negro civil service employees because of alleged methods of unfairness which handicap their tenure and advancement, and that they had had been assured of the interest and sympathy of the executive, and requested to furnish specific instances, establishing the truth of their complaint. Up to the present, so far as I have been able to learn, the channels of information contain no record of the presentment of such instances or the resultant investigation, which it was understood would follow. It is hardly conceivable that these gentlemen are so out of touch with the conditions in which the average Negro employee spends his service as to have been unable to furnish the information as requested, and certainly their power and influence should be reckoned an item of large value, if weilded in the interest of the Negro employee of more humble station. May Not Have Pressed Advantage May Not Have Pressed Advantage Perhaps, however, these Negro employes of lesser prominence have themselves been dilatory in closing with the means of intercession which has been placed within their reach. In consideration of what has gone before, it may not be amiss to refer briefly to the general status of Negro employes under civil service in the hope that present inconsistencies in its application to their employment may be corrected and the splendid ideal for which it was created may be realized. In approaching this subject, we should keep in mind that the government has committed itself to the fundamental principle of an equal opportunity in all directions for all classes of its citizens. We recognize the fact that Uncle Sam has gone into the game of nation building on a world-wide scale; that he has a fist full of trumps, and he never hesitates to take a trick. Generous, loyal and brave, he has the implicit faith of a noble nature in the righteousness of his mission, and has neither the time nor inclination to scultinize the myriad threads of detail which unite to make the mighty cable of his power. He is all the more re- lunctant, even though his energies were not entirely occupied with the larger affairs of state, because of that fine confidence with which he so freely invests every son and daughter of the republic. Trouble Is Deep Rooted Trouble Is Deep Rooted So it is that, through the delegation of authority, in many instances, to not overscrupulous subordinates, there haye developed wrongs and abuses and various forms of injustice, which gravely threaten the splendid fabric of fair dealing which has been reared through years of arduous toil under the fostering care of Uncle Sam. Just as the larger in mathematics implies and contain the lesser, even so may it, in the social or governmental state, obscure the same, its privileges—its aspirations and its reasonable right to an equitable consideration. The Negro, in the aspect of his Federal relationships appropriately regarded as the lesser atom, is so relatively impotent and inconspicuous as to be almost obscured within the portly interests and insistent demands of his larger brother. Unusually complaisant, and not given to complaining, he has brought to his new relationship much of the spirit which animated his brothers under the old regime. The humble acquiescence in the will of those who administer the affairs of state and regulate the civic rights and status of the individual, is an inheritance from which there could be no immediate escape. Progress Is Retarded In view of conditions which it has only been sought to suggest, the existence of several peculiar facts probably will have been noted by the ordinary observant person. Instances of the advance of the Negro to the more renumerative grades of Federal employ being willfully retarded are so numerous as to seem to establish an acceptable rule of action; the unrelenting opposition and ingenious scheming of prejudiced persons, unwisely clothed with the power of selection, seeks to restrict the employment of the Negro to the grades of messenger, skilled laborer, and laborer; and the unwritten though no less forceful rule which rigidly excludes him from advancement to a position carrying even the faintest semblance of author- State Hist & Nat Hist Bodies State House HANTS WH ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO SIGNS OF The season of the year is now at cimining and general house-cleaning in to be provided for.

The season of the year is now at hand when painting, paper hanging, calcimining and general house-cleaning inside and out will be the order and has to be provided for. The colored people who have pride in themselves and the general appearance of things will not neglect this opportunity of giving their property and homes the appearance of tidiness, cleanliness and neatness. Paint pays in more ways than one. It increases one's self-respect as well as enhances the value of your property. Grass and flowers adds to the attractiveness, comfort and pleasure of the home life. The tin cans, rubbish and dirt out of the back yard and a little chloride of lime and whitewash will give your home the appearance that industrious and beauty-loving people live there. Don't neglect getting into touch with spring and nature, and assist her by putting your home in order. Only in this way can we merit the good wishes of our neighbors and respect of ourselves. The Colorado Statesman wants to see every home in line for improvement and respectability. ity seems to apply to every department and each division of Uncle Sam's government. This, too, in face of the fact that of him is expected, nay, demanded, a greater degree of efficiency and a more uniformly sustained effort and application.

WASHINGTON D. C. NEWS LETTER WASHINGTON D. C. NEWS LETTER The Colored Y. M. C. A. building of Washington is undoubtedly the grandest, largest and best equipped of any Association building for colored in the United States. The entire building was built by colored men. Weekly copies of the popular COLORADO STATESMAN are found on file in its spacious reading rooms. A big political shake-up is expected among the colored men holding jobs higher up. We have four colored men in the Capital receiving $4,000 a year each, under the Republican administration. The question is asked will the Democrats treat the colored race as well as did the Republicans? The Armstrong Manual Training school held its closing exercises last week, graduating a large class. The school has a large enrollment of night students, mostly adults, who are privileged with taking any course of study in manual training that they desire, free of charge. Congress appropriates $50,000 a year alone for the support of this school, for colored peacyle. There is no need of any colored man or woman in this section of the country not having any kind of an education he desires, if he only has ambition to take advantage of the opportunity. There are other night schools that teach book keeping, stenography and classics. All free of charge to adults. MOVEMENT TO OUST RAILROAD PORTERS MOVEMENT TO OUST RAILROAD PORTERS St. Louis, Mo., March 11.—Just as there has been an organized movement to have anti-intermarriage measures passed in the various Legislatures throughout the country, so is there a well-engineered plan on foot to have the colored railroad porters ousted in the West and Middle West, although several States have refused to consider the plan seriously. The Locomotive Brotherhood is said to be back of the movement. The scheme is to prevent the employment of colored men as train porters. Porters in the Pullman service are not affected. As usual, the train porters are unorganized and are fighting the hostile measures the best they can. In each of the States in the West and Middle West bills have been introduced in the Legislature at the instance of the Locomotive Brotherhood, known as the Full Crew Bill, which provides for a brakeman and flagman on all passenger trains carrying more than three coaches. The purpose of the Full Crew Bill is to do away with the colored train porters, as he carries a switch key the same as the brakeman and performs similar duties. The Locomotive Brotherhood is opposed to Negroes earning a living where white men show a preference to accept employment. Houston, Texas., March 12.—The Mutual Aid Board and the Board of Commissioners of the Grand Lodge United Brothers of Friendship met in the U. B. F. Building in this city with the following members present: W. F. Bledsoe, Marshall, president; J. B. Bell, Houston, vice-president; F. W. Gross Houston, secretary; Joseph Nichols, Houston, treasurer. The grand secretary, F. W. Gross, reported total receipts for three monts as $42,735 37. The managers set aside $20,000 to pay death claims for the quarter. Reports show that the grand lodge owns in its name property worth $200,000 in two cities, which brings in a revenue around $800 a month. RACE NEWS Los Angeles, Cal.—The Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company of this place has raised $4,500 of the $7,000 necessary to install a cyanide plant. The company is a race concern selling its stock to none but members of the race. Headed by Bishop Alexander Walters, president, a colored delegation representing the National Negro Democratic League of Washington was received in the east room by the President last Friday afternoon. This organization has set itself the task of holding for colored Democrats all appointive public offices now held by colored Republicans; or, failing to do so, to obtain as substitute patronage as good or better posts under the government. for favorable consideration. Washington, D. C., March 12.—William H. Lewis of Boston, who served as Assistant Attorney General during the Taft administration, has tendered his resignation. The new Attorney General has not decided whether a successor will be appointed. It is not likely that Lewis will be succeeded by a Negro, even if his department is continued. Mr. Lewis has been made several alluring offers to practice law. It is rumored that a law partnership is to be formed between the ex-Assistant Attorney General and Wilford H. Smith, a prominent Negro lawyer of New York, and that Mr. Lewis will move to Gotham. Washington, March 19.—Attorney General McReynolds will not fill the position of assistant attorney general, now held by William H. Lewis, the Negro lawyer of Boston, whose resignation becomes effective April 1. As the government is now virtually through the Indian depredations claims of which Lewis had charge, the work will be combined with that of the assistant attorney general in charge of claims before the court of claims. Louisville, Ky., March 11. Louisville is to have a second colored branch library. To that end a lot was recently purchased costing $5,000, the city paying $4,000, and the colored citizens raising the remainder. The building will cost $17,500 and is the gift of Carnegie. This library will be maintained by the city. The trustees of the Free. Public Library are especially generous in providing library facilities for its colored patrons, and this is another evidence of their good will to our people. Mathew A. Henson, who accompanied Commander Peary to the North Pole, went to work two weeks ago in the correspondence bureau of the Custom House under Collector Loeb at a salary of a thousand dollars a year. During the last week of his administration Mr. Taft issued an executive order making Henson a civil service appointee without taking an examination. Collector Charles W. Anderson is said to have been instrumental in securing Henson's appointment. It was in May, 1912 that Collector Anderson wrote to Charles D. Hilles, Secretary to President Taft, asking that Henson's case be put before Mr. Taft NO 28 Washington, D. C., March 12. William H. Lewis of Boston, who served as Assistant Attorney General during the Taft administration, has tendered his resignation. The new Attorney General has not decided whether a successor will be appointed. It is not likely that Lewis will be succeeded by a Negro, even if his department is continued. Mr. Lewis has been made several alluring offers to practice law. It is rumored that a law partnership is to be formed between the ex-Assistant Attorney General and Wilford H. Smith, a prominent Negro lawyer of New York, and that Mr. Lewis will move to Gotham. Midst all the hue and cry of lack of opportunity comes the announcement that Mr. Fred L. Hubbard has been appointed assistant to the general manager of the Toronto Railway Company, one of the most responsible positions in the company, and one that carries with it a large salary. Mr. Hubbard deserves all the good fortune that may befall him. He is honest, upright, and has a capacity for work that is unequaled. He has been in the employ of the company for the past thirteen years, during which time he has placed the Toronto City Railway Company at the head of the list of well managed roads, and were it not for his modest he might term himself justly "the street railway king."—Defender. NOTED COLORED Auburn, N. Y. March 12. Harriet Tubman, a colored woman, 95 years of age, said to have been a friend of Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward, who was associated with John Brown in anti-slavery work, died of pneumonia this week. She was an inmate of the Harriet Tubman home for indigent aged Negroes, which she founded here on land given her by Secretary Seward. Harriet Tubman is said to have been connected with the "underground railroad" system by which fleeing slaves were aided in eluding pursuit. It is said she railroaded over 300 slaves into Canada. The "underground railroad" consisted of stations in the homes of anti slavery sympathizers where, day or night, fleeing Negroes were received, given food and shelter and concealed until the time was propitious to pass them North.

Advocates of woman's suffrage have been much encouraged by the naming of Senator Thomas of Colorado, who represents an equal suffrage state, as chairman of the woman's suffrage committee of the Senate, and predict that the committee, instead of being merely ornamental, will become one of the active committees of the Senate. Hollow Horn Bear, last of the great chiefs of the once powerful Sioux, was given a Christian funeral at Washington in St. Paul's Catholic church. Chiefs of the Blackfoot, Crow, and Sioux Indians, resplendent in feathers and blankets, followed the body to the altar. Kneeling in the front pews of the candle-lighted church, the red men paid their last homage to the dead chief. Parcel post business last month was almost forty per cent. greater than in January, as shown by reports to Postmaster General Burleson, just made public.

Reed, thirty years old, shot and probably fatally wounded his wife, twenty-five, and then, turning the weapon on himself, sent a bullet through his heart and dropped dead. Out at the ranch house, declared to be a squall home with few comforts, Mrs. Reed lies. Her only attendants are her sister and two small children. Those who heard of the shooting were so badly scared that none could be persuaded to undertake a trip to offer help, owing to impassable condition of the roads. Add Cooking School Course. Grand Junction, Colo.—A course in cooking has been added to the curriculum of the Grand Junction schools, and in the future every girl who graduates from a full course of schooling in this city will be well equipped in every way to embark upon the matrimonial seas. The Grand Junction schools for a number of years have included a course in sewing, and the school board decided to broaden the domestic science course. Generally such studies are not taken up until the student has reached the high school, but the board after investigating statistics showing that comparatively few children who entered the kindergarten graduated from the high school, decided to install the cooking course in the grade schools. The seventh grade students will be the first to receive instruction, but if it is decided that younger pupils might profitably take up cookery studies, other classes will be made up. Farm Labor Paid Best in West Denver.—A table as to the comparative cost of farm labor in the different states, which had been awaited with much interest, is out in the crop report for March.

The average for the Western states is $32.96, for the United States $20.81. The lowest for any group of states is that of the South Atlantic $14.97.

Des Moines, Ia., March 13.—The peo- ble of the United States have had Towa to thank for a number of ex- cellent things, and to the st must be now added an achievement that means a great deal to the shippers of the entire west from the Missisipp! to the, Pacific. Especially ste those shippers under obligations to the Iowa state board of railroad commissioners and its chairman, Clifford Thorne. ‘This achievement is the suspension and revision, by the interstate com- merce commission, of an entire freight classification, known as Western clas- sification No. 51, and on March 31 the several hundred changes made to con- form to the commission's order will Bo Into effect. Shippers and consum» ers alike will benefit by the revision. lowa Leads the Fight. Jowa’s commission was by no means alone in the good work, but it took the initiative in the case and assumed the chief part of the burden of pre- paring and trying it. Sixteen western state railroad commissions united in the fight, and Mr. Thorne was the chairman of the committee represent- ing them. He gives much credit to Benjamin L. Jacobson, who had gen- eral charge of. gathering the evidence and preparing the specific cases for trial, and to A. D. Beals, Iowa's rate expert. Mr. Thorne today had this to say ot the big case and its outcome: “One day during the summer of 1911 I was seated in a hotel parlor in Mil- waukee. In one end of the room there were sixteen men in their shirtsleeves, talking and listening occasionally to @ person standing in the center of the room; two or three minutes were al- lowed to the gentleman talking; he took his seat and another person told a short story; and so on, during the course of the whole day. Powerful Group of Men. “This small group of men exercised more power than any other similar group, perhaps, in the United States. Somo nine hundred railroads, large and small, interested in traffle be- tween the Missisipp! river and the Pa. cific coast, have organized what they call a western classification commit, tes of about eighty-five members. ‘These eighty-five men have selected a sub-committee of sixteen men, This sub-committee, which is dominated by one or two individuals, determines the freight ratings on over 7,000 articles ‘on which 35,000,000 people have to pay traffic between about 20,000 towns, located between the Mississip pi river and the Pacifle coast. This 4s one of the three important classifi ation committees in America, the other two being the official, covering the nortueastern portion of the Unit, ed States, and the Southern. “For the first time in the history of American railroads an entire classifi cation of one of these three great freight classification committees has been suspended by the federal govern: ment. And the committee I have de- scribed has been making a revision of its former work, in accordance with the decision which was rendered by the interstate commerce commission recently, known as the decision in the case of Western classification No. 61. ‘The railroads have just submitted to the commission a list of several hun: dred changes in this classification to conform to the commission’s order,and these will go into effect March 31 The opinion in this case, next to the one rendered in the express case, is perhaps the longest ever written by the interstate commerce commission. ‘The case is of national importance. Many of its features are unique, and of profound concern to the consumers of the country. Sixteen States United. “Many shippers and shippers’ or ganizations were parties to this case But perhaps the most interesting fea ture was the fact that on behalf of the consumers the railroad commis. sions of sixteen great states appear ed. These states were Illino!s, Wis. consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Okla homa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Nevada, Washing. ton and Oregon. On the one hand we had the representatives of some nine hundred railroads, and opposed te them the representatives of sixteen state governments, with the interstate commerce commission as the deciding tribunal. The hearing in the case lasted about a year. “Western Classification No. 51 tn: Books Speak. Books carry with them a charm of thoir own, They speak of cosy indraw- ings about the evening lamp.

The work done in preparation for this issue is sald to have cost the railroads approximately $500,000. Most Important Phases. “Of the many phases of the dect- sion the first in importance are the rules and regulations. The carriers proposed many changes. These are applicable to every city, town and hamlet west of the Missisippi river. The state commissions made objec- tions to fourteen of these rules, and changes were made or ordered in twelve of them. “A concrete Illustration of these concerns the dunnage allowance. Prior to the issuance of No. 51, the carriers permitted the shippers to use lumber and boards to prop up machin- ery in a car, the railroads hauling 500 pounds of such lumber free of charge. No. 61 abolished the dunnage privi- lege, and the commission ordered it reinstated. When one considers the thousands of shipments that are made annually, the importance of such a ruling can be appreciated. “Another change of importance to the western half of the United States concerns green hides. The carriers put in a rule permitting them to re- fuse to take green hides for shipment. We pointed out that they could be stored or handled.in live stock cars, and not contaminate other commot!- ties, and clafmed that the carriers should be compelled to accept the same for transportation. Our position was sustained by the commission. Minimum Rate Ruling. “Several hundred advances were proposed by the railroads in minimum weights. They announced thelr pol- icy to be tho establishment of mint- mums upon the physical capacity of the cars, refusing to take into consid: eration the commercial conditions surrounding the transportation. Carload Mixtures. “One of the most important parts of this case concerns carload mixtures, ‘The carriers proposed the elimination of carload mixtures on 234 articles, and proposed changes restricting car load mixtures on more than three hun: dred other articles. One of the most important changes affecting carload mixtures, which serves as an {Ilustra tion of the effect of such changes, concerns binding twine. Prior to the issuance of No. 61, the carriers per mitted binding twine to be shipped mixed with agricultural implements, all of which took carload rates. In No. 51, they proposed to apply less than carload rates on all shipments of binding twine made in this manner. This would have caused an advance of about one hundred per cent in the freight rates on binding twine, and more than ninety per cent of all bind ing twine shipments, we were told by the largest shippers in the coun try, would be affected by this hundred per cent advance. “As indicating the policy of th carriers, thirty-two articles had car load mixtures granted to them, while over five hundred articles were totally eliminated from carload mixtures, ot the mixtures were changed or re stricted. ‘The interstate commerce commission has ordered the carriers to pursue diametrically the opposit course. Instead of restricting mix tures, they are instructed to mak them more liberal. ¥ “In addition to these changes 1m rules, the commission made specifi orders disapproving advances on 1 long lst of articles. ‘The decision in this case is the most epoch-making on clasification matters ever render ed by the interstate commerce com mission” Otherwise the Girl Who Adopts Pro- fession of Children's Nurse Will Not Succeed, ‘The great essention for any girl adopting the profession of children's nurse is that she must have a great love for the wee folk, to be able to enter into their feelings, to sympa- thize with their sorrows and Joys. A child's nurse must not be a cynic. She must know the importance of lit- tle things to children, must know that the molehills of grown-ups are the mountains of boys and girls. Now- adays the children’s nurse must be a comrade and companion as well as mentor to her young charges, but the latter role must never be over-empha- sized. It is well, too, for any gitl desiring to become a nurse of this kind to go somewhere and obtain the proper training for the position, It is a big advantage when seeking employment.

Easter Sunday, the day of all days in the Christian calendar, will be appropriately observed by all the churches in the city tomorrow. No wide awake or up-to-date minister can afford to seem indifferent to its quickening and hallowing influences. Our colored churches are quite alive to this sublime idea. In all of them, fitting sermons and special song services will be the order of the day. The religious instinct of the Negro is a beautiful characteristic. Implicit reliance upon the promises of the Bible is not only an individual consolation but a most potent racial bond and support. While the life of Christ is an eternal example for all men, it is a most emphatic and inspiring source of comfort to the Negro. Perhaps it is not the science of theology nor the highly spiritual revelation that appeals to us most, but rather the wonderful story of human trial and suffering with the resultant triumph of the promise and of God. The Man of Sorrows was God's own Son and the afflictions of the world revealed the depth and the potency of God's love. Christ lived and died as a propitiation for the sins of all men—to sap dry the almost endless flood of human disobedience to God's unalterable laws—and in the consummation of this mighty, supernatural achievement, each moment and act act of his life furnished a criterion for every finite being, however great. Something in nature brings his life and his sacrifices close to the humble and lowly. But his triumph—his death and resurrection is the cable that links our souls by faith to the pure throne of grace. In it is the beginning and the end of all religious instinct. It is a demonstration of the meaning of life and a revelation of the reward for living. It is an exemplification of the possibilities of life here and a confirmation of our hopes for the life to come. It portrays the end of doubt and gloom in all their aspects, and the beginning of an eternal happiness. In our wanton waste of thought and our meager understanding, we may be prone to take the beautiful lesson all too lightly. Easter does not mark or signify our release from restraint or open to us the license to return to the crowding, wanton joys of heedless living, as the world in common seems to accept it, but it extends to all humanity and happy spiritual consolation that the sins of the world and of every creature in it are forever atoned. But it is for us to continue in the spiritual joy of this atonement and the knowledge and remembrance of its blessings. From Easter day, the people of God start forth to live more like Christ, with the blessed assurance that constancy, even though assailed and broken by human circumstances, brings its own reward. With the world of nature, we put on our best array, and exert our purest and best spirit. The music, the songs, the festive attire, the glad spirit of Easter day are not to be forgotten with the setting of the sun; they are not to become a mere reminiscence upon which we may base our boasting or our gossip of a meaningless, passing moment. They are to go with us and attend us throughout the year. They are to change only as the seasons, developing and beautifying themselves and us with an ever increasing splendor. It is the picture of the triumph of hope, the triumph of life, the final, glorious end of this life's oppressions, disappointments, insufficiencies and suffering. How many of us think of Easter in this way? How many of us strive to attain a realization of the true significance of the beautiful celebration? There is food in study and thought over the verified resurrection of the Saviour, and as our deeper senses open into a better realization of the importance of the sacred event that harrowed a dreaming world twenty centuries ago, let the birds, let the organs peal, let the anthems raise, and let us see ourselves not farther but nearer to God.

What has this text to do with Easter day? Let us think awhile Life and death; the battle between life and death; life conquered by death; and conquered again by life. Those were the mysteries over which the men of old time thought, often till their hearts were sad. And because our forefathers were a sad and earnest folk; because they lived in a sad and dreary climate, where winter was far longer and more bitter than it is, thank God, now; therefore all their thoughts about winter and spring were sad; and they grew to despair, at last, of life ever conquering death, or light conquering darkness. All living things would die. The very gods would die, fighting to the last against the powers of evil, till the sun should sink forever, and the world be a heap of ashes. And then—so strangely does God's gift of hope linger in the hearts of men—they saw—beyond all that, a dim dream of a new heaven and a new earth, in which should dwell righteousness; and of a new sun, more beautiful than ours; of a woman called "Life," hid safe, while all the world around her was destroyed, fed on the morning dew, preserved to be the mother of a new and happier race of men. And so to them, heathens as they were, God whispered that Christ should some day bring life and immortality to light. "So it pleased the Father," says St. Paul, "to gather together in Christ all things, whether in heaven or in earth." In him were fulfilled, and more than fulfilled, the dim longings, the childlike dreams, of heathen poets and sages, and of our own ancestors from whom we spring. He is the desire of all nations, for whom all were longing, though they knew it not. And now we may see, it seems to me, what the text has to do with Easter day. Be not anxious, says our Lord, for your life. Is not the life more than meat? There is an eternal life which depends not on earthly food, but on the will and word of God your Father; and that life in you will conquer death. Consider the lilies in the field. All the winter they are dead, unsightly roots, hidden in the earth. What can come of them? But no sooner does the sun of spring shine on their graves than they rise into sudden life and beauty as it pleases God, and every seed takes its own peculiar body. Even so is the resurrection of the dead.—Charles Kingsley. ADOPT CUSTOMS OF EUROPE Old Country Ideas for the Celebration of Easter Have Found Favor in America. In many homes in America there have been transplanted some of the old country Easter customs. One of these is the Scotch custom of egg rolling. On Easter morning the entire family practices this custom with brightly decorated eggs, boiled so hard that there is no danger of their cracking. Very few of the English customs have been transplanted, however, although the various shires of England have notably quaint Easter observances. In Shropshire and Herefordshire, and especially at Shrewsbury, it is the custom to make for Easter a rich and expensive cake that is known as simnel cake. These simnel cakes are raised cakes, with a crust made of fine flour and water with saffron color added to give it a deep yellow color. The cake itself is a very rich plum cake, with candied lemon peel added. The crust is of the consistency of set cement. There is a tradition that Herefordshire women have used simnel cakes as footstools, and it is known that the cake is commonly boiled in order to be made edible. The simnels are usually marked with a figure of Christ or of the Virgin, thus preserving the religious significance of the day. Another special English Easter cake is the Biddenden cake. In the parish of Biddenden there is an endowment of unknown date, supposed to have been made by two women named Preston, for making a distribution of cakes among the poor every Easter Sunday afternoon. The source of the benefaction consists of twenty acres of land, commonly called the "bread and cheese" lands. Six hundred of these Biddenden cakes and 270 loaves of bread are distributed under this endowment. The Great Beyond. The return of Easter is one of our Lord's ways of letting down a ladder to us that we may climb to the stars and see a little of the great beyond. Tollers of the plains below, we often miss the fashing lights thrown across the battlements for our relief. Enriched in soul we shall descend tomorrow to follow again the well-worn path of duty. But there will be a cheer upon the lips and a song in the heart, for we have dwelt a little in the heights, and the consummation of our hope draweth nigh!—Rev. M. Camp bell.

Much Like Sarcasm The conceited visitor had talked a long time, and small Jarle was duly impressed with the breadth and variety of his knowledge. At last the talker made the sententious statement that one half the world does not know how the other half lives. "Why don't you teach them?" was the innocent question that made the visitor blush and his other listeners struggle with scarcely suppressed chuckles. About the midrump. "The middleman is the one who makes all the confusion in this question of supply and demand," said the off-hand economist. "Yes," replied the man with the double chin. "But what are you going to do about it? You can't possibly ignore the waiter and do business directly with the cook." Luke McLuke Says. When two women get real chummy and lay their souls bare before one another it is a sign that they are to be deadly enemies in a few weeks. —Cincinnati Enquirer. To Polish Piano.

From the genius held in highest regard this adorable turban for spring has been launched upon its triumphant way, nothing could be simpler, nothing more impossible to brain not gifted than its creators. It is made of wide black and white satin ribbons in a soft heavy quality. Maline in several thicknesses is laid over these. The ribbons are then apparently wound about a soft cap (widened at the top) and tied in a broad bow across the back. A fine wire, invisibly placed, supports the bow. Really Attractive Idea Liable to Be Source of Serious Inroads Upon the Average Purse. A charming modern fancy is found in the guest book. Its adoption has arisen from the cost of entertaining, for in most country houses the week end is an institution. No doubt the motor had a good deal to do with the fashion, for in remote places where visitors used to be few and far between, friends are now cordially welcomed. Guests set their wits to work to find a few original words of greeting, for the old fashioned sentiments that were wont to decorate country hotel albums are not suited to the occasion. Vellum is the latest binding to find favor, and this year some exquisite workmanship and designing have been lavished on these useful books. Tomes large and ponderous are displayed where entertaining is done on a big scale, and for the modest but charming cottage or quaint old hall there are moderately sized books bound in vellum richly illuminated with scarlet, blue and gold, and fastened with leather thongs. Some designers choose their inspirations from old missals; others select margined volumes of a couple of centuries ago, and there is also a leaning to the beauties of Italian renaissance workmanship. Tooled leather is often favored, some of the models offered being exceptional in their designs, as well as in the way in which the work is executed. JEWEL FADS ARE NUMEROUS Watch Bracelet Mounted on Narrow Black Ribbon—Seed Pearls to Ornament the Jabot. The new watch bracelet is mounted on a narrow black moire ribbon, holding on the arm a very flat watch, either square, concave or oblong in shape, made in platinum and encircled with diamonds. Instead of the black velvet ribbon, a colored ribbon may be worn, or else a band made of very tiny seed pearls, says a Paris correspondent. Then again, there is a jabot made by a clever employment of seed pearls mounted so as to imitate the delicate tracery of lace. The gold bags are of a very fine supply mesh and fashioned with gold of different shades. The meshes are often placed in different ways so as to imitate the iridescence of silk and moire. The chain to which the bag is fastened may be replaced by a thick silk cord the same color as the gold, and on which are jeweled elides with stones to match those introduced in the mounting. One very pretty purse may be noted. It is in platinum, with black and white stripes alternating with bands of little seed pearls. Punch Work Effective Sheets and pillow cases with designs wrought out in satin stitch and punch work are extremely beautiful. A very simple design is effective if well done. Some bed linen of this sort seen recently has the punch work done in soft yellow for the linen is used in a "yellow room." The pretty and equally effective and simple gown is in perfect harmony with this excellent millinery. It is of black satin with white lace introduced at the neck and sleeves. A band of bright green satin is laid across the bust. The rather high waist line is outlined with a black girdle. Over this is worn a long semi-fitting coat of chiffon. The skirt narrows at the bottom but is not in extreme of this mode. The whole thing is, as ordained by fashion, easy, soft and flowing. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Attractive Ornamentation that the Average Household Is Well Able to Afford. Fascinating prints for the walls of the day nursery come in attractive frames and are not too expensive for the average mother to avoid. Nature prints, as the colored photographs from nature are called, represent open air scenes at all seasons of the year. They are in dainty frames of black or circassian walnut and suspended by gold tinsel cords. Prints on papier-mache from pictures by the old masters, make attractive decorations for the nursery and interest little folks because of the bibilical subjects which they represent. Most of them are framed in passepartout and are really inexpensive. Framed in brass and covered with isinglass are hosts of charming little prints by various famous modern artists, whose theme is child life. Of glass and hammered copper are passportout frames for impressionist color scenes, chiefly of the Orient, and of a character likely to interest juveniles.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Of the one hundred counties in the state of North Carolina, as a report of the tax commissioner shows, there are fifty-one in which Negroes pay taxes on more than one quarter of a million dollars of real and personal property. In several other counties the amount is over two hundred thousand but does not reach the quarter million mark. Wake county heads the list with $1,330,705, while Halifax is a close second with $1,225,576. They are the only counties in the million class. Several others are far up toward the mark but do not quite reach it. Negroes own the largest amount of land in the following counties: Bertie, 61,414 acres, Halifax, 53,803 acres; Warren, 50,006 acres; Bladen, 48,463 acres; Wake, 40,096 acres; Columbus, 30,224 acres; Sampson, 38,267 acres; Pender, 37,438 acres; Northhampton, 36,142 acres; Craven, 36,092 acres, while there are eight other counties in which from 25,000 to 35,000 acres are owned by Negroes. In town lots Craven leads with 1,808; Wake next with 1,665; Forsyth with 1,372; Mecklenburg with 1,345; Guilford with 967; Rowan with 853; Durham with 822; Beauford with 811; Pasquotank with 746; New Hanover with 720. Other counties make a good showing, this being especially true of Wilson with 669 and Rockingham with 528. In valuation of town lots Wake leads with $521,989; Craven comes second with $520,095 and Mecklenburg third with $400,321. Negroes own 1,424,943 acres of land not counting town lots and pay taxes on a grand total of $29,982,328 of real and personal property. It should be known also that the rate of assessment it about forty per cent. This will indicate that Negroes own seventy million dollars of real and personal property in North Carolina. The report shows that in some counties, among them Madison, where the Negro population is small, no separate list is given. There are a little less than a million Negroes in this state. We see as a result of recent agitation among thoughtful and prominent whit women favoring woman's suffrage that it is proposed to memorialize congress asking for the immediate passage of a bill pensioning every woman who shall become a mother, allowing her out of the United States treasury the sum of $25.00 for each child born, thereby dignifying in a national way motherhood and giving it the proper kind of inspiration. We as a race are a little slow in coming to the belief that the function of motherhood is a high one, and that the rearing of healthy sons and daughters is the greatest service that can be rendered the state.—The Mobile Press. Only the educated and well-to-do among us are slow in realizing the high function of motherhood. A very large per cent of the less fortunate Negroes are still doing their duty along this line. It is the Negro in the professions who has gone out of business in this matter. We recall the fact that in a certain near-by city there are twenty Negro physicians, all of whom are in good circumstances, and only one of whom is the father of children. They keep reasonably busy in the matter of accouchement for other people, but when it comes to themselves, there's nothing doing at all.—Exchange. Sidestep the man who talks much and says little. The Los Angeles Liberator contains a glowing account of the activity now being displayed by well-to-do negroes out there in the matter of building business houses for negroes. It mentions one man who will invest $40,000 along this line. The colored people in that city are the best housed of any negroes in a city of like size in the United States. They are gradually awaking to the sense of an economic error made by negroes everywhere. Says the Liberator: The negroes of this city have some $200,000 invested in church property, which not only furnishes them no financial income, but is a source of continual drain upon their limited resources. Should an amount like the above be invested in office buildings and other real property it would not only furnish employment for scores of negroes, but would pay the stockholders at least 10 per cent, on the investment. Books let us into the souls of men, and lay open to us the secrets of our own. They are the best and last, the most home-felt, the most heart-felt of all our enjoyments.—Hazlitt.

Nearly all the old generation of preachers have passed to the great beyond, and their places are now being filled by younger men, who have had superior advantages to those old men, but in all seriousness we ask, are these young men an improvement on their fathers?-The Vanguard. A pertinent question, and one that provokes thought. The old time preacher had some disadvantages and some advantages, which are absent in the work of the preacher of today. The education of the former was limited and so was that of his audience. His work was to appeal to and stir the emotions—a comparatively easy task among primitive people. He was sincere, earnest, and zealous. Getting money for a variety of "causes" was not then the chief business of church activity. He had no passion for riches for himself. He was content to preach the Word. The preacher of today faces a complex situation. Circumstances force him to dwell to some extent upon the intellectual side of Christianity—a phase of religion not adapted to the average Negro at his present stage of development. While the preacher is sadly limited in intelligence nearly all of them have the veneer and are thereby unfitted to the task of stirring up the emotions in the old way—because he can't feel it himself. He can't reach the emotions through the reason. Now the emotion of a part of the audience has to be stirred if at all in the old way and by old methods. The veneer of intelligence on the part of the minister unfits him for meeting that demand. Another part of the audience has to be reached through reason. The minister's lack of thorough culture handicaps him here. The result is when services are over both sides of the audience feel disappointed. Further, the Negro has feasted so long on highly flavored religious dope that he can't digest or appreciate plain, simple, nourishing food. The religion of Christ was meant to be a joy, a delight, and not a burden. It has come to be a burden to a surprisingly large number of people. The thinking minister is up against a serious proposition. He has a man's job if he only knew it.—Exchange. A everend gentleman said not long since that he was going to break up the beer drinking clubs among his membership. The question was asked, "how will you do it?" The answer was, "I will have my deacons to watch for it." This startled us and we thought of the story of the woman in red, and Christ's command to the accusers: "He that is guiltless let him cast the first stone." We were told that the pastor's deacons were presidents of the beer clubs, and we feel sure they will not accuse themselves. We don't have any faith in a Christian who shouts and sings in the amen corner and the same one has just emptied a gallon of beer—The Scimitar (Ennis, Texas). The feelings that gather fervor from novelty will be of little help toward making the world a home for dimmed and faded human beings; and if there is any love of which they are not widowed, it must be the love that is rooted in memories, and distils perpetually the sweet balms of fidelity and forbearing tenderness.—George Eliot. It scarcely pays to associate with people who make you feel cheap. There need not be any fear that when the negro finally abandons his policy of putting more money in his churches than he does in all his other business enterprises combined that he will be any less religious than he is now. His religious life will be just as abounding, just as fruitful as if not more so than it is now. Religion cannot be injured by stripping it of extravagant foolishness, and thereby making it less burdensome and more agreeable—Exchange. A society of negro farmers known as the Native Farmers' Association of South Africa, Limited, consisting entirely of native shareholders, has been formed in the Wakkerstroom district of the Transvaal for the purpose of purchasing three farms of about 13,000 acres in extent.

Where Are Your Interests The Easter lily leans to me As if it bade me stay And from my mind put worldly things A little while away; I gaze upon it and can hear The whir of angels' wings: Thank Heaven for the higher hopes The Easter lily brings. The Easter lilies, as I pass The window where they show Their parity, bring back to me The faith of long ago: Again I hear my mother sing The gentle Savior's lope Again I hear a call that's clear Ring sweetly from above.

While lilies come at Easter time Love's kingdom shall endure; The lily leans to me and I Cease doubting and am sure: My heart once more is lifted by The songs the faithful sing: Thank heaven for the higher hopes The Easter lilies bring. S. E. KISER "Christ Is Risen; I Will Arise" HUMANITY had grown dry, old, withered. All the best springs of its nature had dried up, and there was no flow of invigorating hope, and barely anything of pureness and sweetness issuing from it. The emperor of the world was at once "a high priest, an atheist and a god." The fairest and noblest in life permitted their names to be inscribed upon the "tabulae" of those who had failed to maintain even the cleanliness of the flesh. The human race had gone to seed. But by the overruling of Providence, One Life had been prematurely maintained in righteousness, true to man's original, Divine type. Mown down by the sword of injustice, this harvested seed was sown in a garden in Jerusalem. Sown, as the sower of wheat flings his good grain into the soil, and simply leaves it to the mercy of the Master of the earth and the Lord of life! As the farmer merely closes the field gate upon his seeded field and can do no more than wait! Just as we sow the forms of them we have loved, set a stone, or some mark to show where we have laid them, and come away to "soothe ourselves with weeping Till life's long shadows break in cloudless love." There is a wonderful vitality in a seed. A wealthy man once built a great stone tomb for himself and carved upon it: "This tomb, the everlasting abode of its owner, must not be opened to all eternity." Inadvertently the workmen buried a tiny seed with the impious dead man. Swellen by the moisture from his decaying corpse, it sprouted, found a crevice where light shone through, grew to it, and through it, and today a tall tree stands with its roots in the old tomb, and the stones so laboriously built into place are shattered and thrown aside by the resistless growing power of what had been contained in that tiny seed. There is an immortal vitality about humanity. That sown in the garden at Jerusalem burst through the tomb, and appeared again, as much more glorious than the Body which had been sown, as the field of corn is lovelier as it waves in the autumn sunshine than the bare grain the farmer sowed in the spring. "Sown in a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body." It is a prudent thing, however, to apply the actual tests to the seeds of the crop, upon the vitality of which much may depend. That sort of a test was applied to humanity at Easter time. One of ourselves, bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh, was sown, and by the mastery of the Master of Life, the resurrection process was accelerated, and the innate vitality of man was proved to be a great, glorious reality. It is the message of spring. It comes to encourage us, just when we are committing so much wealth to the The Easter Lilies soil, and its Master. It says to the farmer, "have no fear for results, since the flowers have come through the ground, your grain will also come. The Easter lily is a sign to you of the gracious beauty which will crown your hard labor, which will follow what is so disagreeable at the moment. There was nothing lovely about the lily bulb, remember!" The resurrection message is a signal set up in the race through life, reminding it that there is nothing more certain than "That men may rise on stepping stones Of their dead selves to higher flights." "He is not here," said the heavenly intelligence to those who sought a dead body in the tomb. To the world of men the message runs, "do not grope in the grave of disappointed hope, or of unfulfilled desire." "Newness of life" is yours. Let the past lie dead, as it will. New days arise for you, with new hopes, better openings. You can never lose vitality! While there is life there is hope. And hope persevered in finds certain fruition at harvest time. "He is Risen" rings out from the stone beside the tomb. And the little crocus bud, thrusting itself through even snow and cold, points the message: "Since I am here doubt not He rose. And keep with me this Easter day." For he was just the testing seed, the first fruits. If he rose, so will our blessed dear ones in like manner, ever so much better for having been laid aside as the watchmaker lays your watch to pieces on his tray. The answering message is not simply "I, too, shall rise, some day." Not "TOUCH ME NOT!" only the half comforted cry of bereavement, "I shall meet them all again some time." That is a graveside morality which is only half religious. The true answer to the Easter call "He is Risen" is, "I will arise, and go to my Father, and will say unto him, Father!" "Resurgam!!" "I will arise!" That is humanity's watchword now. There is no need for hiding even under the shadow of the cross itself. No shrinking of hard duty, even for the blessed security of a life given to devotion and contemplation, away from life's temptations. No sitting under the willow trees in helpless grief. Merry ringlets of golden beauty bedeck even the willows at Easter time. With all the world springing into renewed activity, man too, cries from his failures, his griefs, his backsliding, "I will arise and go to my Father." Every night he reminds himself, "I shall arise again toorrow to a new life, somewhere." Every time he slips back in some manner, he cries, "I will arise." Resurrections are occurring all around us every day. New grip is taken on work here, new hope of better life there, everywhere the world is trying to rise and bear flowers, not thorns, for no one now deliberately starts out to do any but the right thing. If a little flower can preach an Easter message, how much more a man or woman or child? Cheery fighting against trouble and difficulty has blessing in it for all who witness it. In rising to better things by sheer hard climbing, many another is helped too. The ruin of a man, who has found his way back to the strength which has made a man of him again, is himself one to whom others look and almost incredulously cry, "He is Risen," and possibly some one may say, "Then will I also cry, "I will arise and go to my Father" also." In the words of one of the sweetest of the Easter hymns, written just as its author was telling his dying body, "I will arise," the Easter message, translated into action, has for its motto: "I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Iils have no weight, and tears no bitterness; and Death's sting, When Grass Where is Death's sting? Where Grave thy victory? thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.' Sharing in Easter. To have lost no joy, buried no hope, known no suffering is to come to Easter day with little sense of its meaning and fellowship. Only those who have deeply suffered can enter deeply into its glorious message. Easter is the symbol of life triumphant, life more abundant, life rejoicing over death. It is the birthday of immortality, to be celebrated by all men with gladness. Whatever hope has been defeated in our lives, Easter offers us the victory. The dead we loved are not dead; they live forever in newness of life, awaiting our entrance into immortality. The things we have hoped to do, the things we have longed to reach, are only anticipations, after all, of what the soul shall possess in the larger life that Easter foreshadows. In our modern living, of the day and for the day, the thought of immortality is often pushed aside. Easter bodies it out afresh—immortal love, immortal life, endless joy, everlasting hope, a clarion-call of power—Harper's Bazar. Origin of the Easter Egg Custom. The favor accorded to eggs among Eastertide observances is said to have originated from the ancient worship of Ostara, goddess of the East, whose feast was celebrated with much eating and drinking, many special offerings being made, including the egg of sea fowl. From northern Germany the worship extended into Great Britain. The Anglo-Saxon name for April, the season of the festival, was Easter monath, and in Germany this month is still known as Ostermonath. Many other of the popular Easter observances, especially in the Netherlands and Germany indicate traces of similar origin. The egg is symbolical of the resurrection. KINGGEORGESLAIN RULER OF GREECE SHOT IN THE HEART BY MAD GREEK, IN SALONIKI, TURKEY. HAD RULED SINCE 1863 HAD RULED SINCE 1863 RULER SLAIN WHERE HE LED SOLDIERS TO VICTORY OVER TURKS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. One of Longest-Reigning Monarchs. King George of Greece assassinated while walking in the streets of Salonik. Assailant believed to be demented. Meets death where he led his soldiers in history over the army of Mohammeds. Though of alien blood, King George came to heart dreams of a resurrected Greece. Born in 1845. King George ascended the throne of Greece when eighteen years old. He was the second son of King Christian IX. of Denmark. King George married Princess Olga, daughter of Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, in St. Petersburg, October 27, 1867. Six children resulted from the marriage. King George took personal command of his troops during the early period of the Balkan war and had been in Saloniki since December, when the Turkish troops occupied by the Greeks after a short siege. At the time of his death King George had reigned longer than any other sovereign in Europe with the exception of Francis Joseph. Saloniki, March 20—King George of Greece was assassinated while walking in the streets of aSloniki Tuesday afternoon. The King fell into the arms of his aide when shot. Two soldiers ran up on hearing the firing, and helped to support him. He was placed in a carriage and efforts were made to stop the bleeding, but he treated his last on the way to the hospital. The assassin was a Greek of low mental type, who gave his name as Aleko Schinas. He shot the King through the heart. The King was accompanied only by an aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel Francoudis. The assassin fired one shot from a seven-chamber revolver. Schinas was seized and overpowered The wounded King died before reaching the hospital. Prince Nicholas, the King's third son, and other officers, hurried to the hospital. On his arrival Prince Nicholas summoned the officers, and, speaking in a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to announce to you the death of our beloved King and invite you to swear fealty to your new sovereign, King Constantine." Crown Prince Constantine, who succeeds King George, at present is at Janina. He is expected to come here with all possible speed. The assassin of the King is an evillooking fellow about forty years of age. On being arrested he refused to explain his motive for the crime. He declared that his name was Aleko Schinas, and, in reply to an officer, who asked him whether he had no pity for his country, answered that he was against governments. Schinas maintained a perfectly impassive demeanor. Prince Nicholas is the only member of the royal family in Saloniki. The Greek governor has issued a proclamation announcing that the oath of fealty to King Constantine has been taken. Groups of grief-stricken people gathered in the streets here and conversed in muffled tones. The troops were recalled to barracks, shops and cafes closed, the street cars suspended service, lights were extinguished and Saloniki had a dead and deserted appearance. The tolling of church bells echoed along deserted streets. Rome Horrified at Death. Rome.—News of the assassination of King George of Greece has horrified the people of Rome, who remember the affability and kindness of the Greek king during his frequent visits here. King Victor Emmanual and the Italian foreign minister, Marquis di San Giuliano, have telegraphed their condolences to Athens. Pope Plus learned of the tragedy and was greatly grieved. Europe Mourns Slain Monarch. London.—Slain at Saloniki, in the hour of Greek triumph, fifty years to the very day he was called to the throne by vote of the Greek parliament at Athens, March 18, 1863, the tragic fate of George L., king of the Hellenes, has plunged more than half the royalties, of Europe in mourning and cast a grim shadow over the chancellories now eager to end the war in the Balkans. Queen Olga was with her husband when he was done to death. London Started by Announcements London.-The official world at London and the general public were startled by a message from Saloniki announcing the assassination of the king of Greece. Interest in the troubled Balkans has been waning of late days, but the news of the wholly unexpected tragedy caused an instant and immense sensation. It was not generally known that the king of Greece still was at Saloniki, as nothing had been heard of his movements for several days. BLOODY TOLL OF ASASSASSINS FOR OVER 100 YEARS. There is scarcely a country in the world that has not at some time felt the hand of the assassin. Emperor Napoleon, men have been slain by anarchists, persons disgruntled because of real or imaginary wrongs, fanatics, insane persons and political conspirator. One year, 1801, the toll of the assassin among world's rulers and presidents of republics is: Paul, Emperor of Russia, March 24, 1801. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, April 14, 1865. Abdel Alade, Sultan of Turkey, June 4, 1876. James A. Garfield, President of the United States, July 2, 1881. Albert Einstein, President of Russia, March 13, 1881. Sadi Carnot, President of France, June 24, 1894 Nasrullah, Shah of Persia, May 1896 Bordia Idarte, President of Uruguay, August 25, 1897. Elizabeth, Empress of Austria, September 10, 1898. George, President of the Dominican Republic, July 26, 1899. Humbert, King of Italy, July 29, 1900. William McKinley, President of the United States, September 6, 1901. Alexander, King of Servia, June 11, 1902. Draga, Queen of 'Servia, June 11, 1902 Carlos, King of Portugal, February 1, 1908. Kingly Careers of Father and Son Start With War. Like his father, Constantine, made ruler of Greece by the assassination of King George, mounts the throne as the smoke of battle hangs over his country. Also like his parent, he is the idol of his subjects. George. George L. king of the Hellenes, was called to the throne March 18, 1863, following the three days' revolution which sent Otto I. into exile. The assassinated monarch was born December 24, 1845, the second son of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluescksburg, who became king of Denmark in 1863. Through his mother, Princess Louise of Sweden and Norway, George, christened Christian William Ferdinand Gustavus Adolphus George, was descended from Marshal Bernadotte, whom Napoleon the Great placed upon the throne of Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII. He began his reign a minor. He was married to Grand Duchess Olga, cousin of Czar Nicholas, October 27, 1867, and was not very popular at Athens until after the ill-starred Turco-Greek war of 1897. Speculating on the European bourses, he amassed a great personal fortune. He commanded his army in person, and Queen Olga went with him to the front. Constantine. Constantine, eldest son of the slain king of the Hellenes, now called to the throne, is the idol of the Greek army and the Greek people. He is a tall, handsome, soldierly man, was born in 1868 and on October 20, 1889, married at Athens the Princess Sophie of Prussia, sister of the Kaiser William. They have three sons, George, born in 1890; Alexander, 1893, and Paul, 1901, and a daughter, Princess Helen, born in 1896. Constantine has displayed sound military judgment during the war and many of the Greek successes have been attributed to his generalship. Constantine's name has been mentioned since hostilities broke out as a candidate for the presidency of a permanent federation of the Balkan states, consisting of Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro and Greece. Since his triumphal entry into Saloniki the king has been accustomed to take an afternoon walk to the famous White Tower or to the cavalry barracks in Lesser Karaburum. The king's confidence in the people was so great that he went abroad freely, accompanied only by a single equerry. The danger of this custom was apparent to members of his entourage, who repeatedly, but without avail, requested his majesty to permit the presence of civil guards. The new ruler soon may find his country's frontier running north of Saloniki and Monastir. Saloniki probably will be a free port. A few days ago four gendarmes were ordered to follow the king, but their presence was considered so objectionable by his majesty that the number was reduced to two. These followed at a long distance. Danes Mourn Death of King George. Copenhagen.—The deepest sorrow is felt here over the death of King George of Greece, who was very popular throughout Denmark. For the last fifty years he had been accustomed to spend a six or eight weeks' holiday in Copenhagen, living like an ordinary citizen and taking an interest in everything that concerned the life of his native country. The royal family learned of the assassination through a press dispatch. They were deeply moved, particularly King George's brother, Prince Waldemar, with whom he had always maintained the closest companionship. When extra editions of the newspapers spread the news of his assassination, all the theaters and music halls closed their performances and the people left silently. King Christian received an official message from Athens at midnight. Members of the royal family remained up through the night to obtain details from the newspaper dispatches.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. London.—A Constantinople dispatch says that the fighting at Chatalja continues. The Turks have advanced about three miles north of Derkos and in the advance occupied many strategic points. A victory is officially claimed for the Turkish forces in a twenty-four hour battle along the Chatalja lines defending the city. The Ottoman troops took the offensive, opening the attack by an advance of their right wing, which proceeded as far as Sivasekeui Kalifakeui. Large forces of Bulgarians were encountered at these three places and fierce fighting soon spread along the whole front. The Turkish troops drove the Bulgarians from their trenches and took possession. The Turkish center then advanced and stormed the heights in their front from which they routed the Bulgarians at the point of the bayonet. Other columns of Turkish troops captured several heights held by Bulgarians to the south of the Turkish lines. The casualties have not been ascertained, but the commanders declare that the losses of both armies were very heavy. The Turkish aeroplanes flew over the scene of the fighting throughout the day, reconnoitering the Bulgarian positions and signaling the movements of the enemy to the Turkish commander. The Vienna newspapers publish sensational reports regarding the position of the civil population of Scutari. According to the reports the Austrian consulate and an Italian convent were shelled and eight nuns and many other non-combatants killed. BRYAN GIVEN OVATION. Speaks at Banquet at Lincoln on Fifty-Third Birthday. Lincoln, Neb. — William J. Bryan heard himself lauded as the foremost exponent of the ideals of Democracy, as the man, who more than other, made the nomination and election of Woodrow Wilson possible, and a return of the government of the people. In his reply, Bryan disclaimed credit for doing more toward bringing about the triumph of his party than should be expected of one who had three times been honored by receiving the nomination for the presidency. Bryan discussed the causes that have led to Democratic victory, and in general promised that President Wilson and all Democrats will devote themselves the next four years to bringing the government closer to the people. The banquet was in honor of Bryan's birthday. More than a thousand men sat at tables in the Lincoln Auditorium. PRESIDENT SHOCKED Wilson Sends Cable of Condolence to Widowed Queen.
