Encouraging Indication Of Prosperity Among the Race In the Region Visited. The Editor left Baltimore Saturday evening, the 14th inst., at 8 P. M., via the B. & O. for Wheeling, W. Va., a distance of about four hundred and thirty-five miles. Wheeling is situated on a narrow strip, in the northern neck of the valley, on the banks of the Ohio River, and nestles at the feet of scores of beautiful hills, of various magnitudes and altitudes. It is sixty-three miles west of Pittsburgh, the great manufacturing center of the State of Pennsylvania. Wheeling is one of the busiest commercial and manufacturing centers in the Commonwealth of West Virginia. In one of its manufacturing plants were constructed the great locks of the Panama Canal. It is the center of glass manufacturers, steel works, pottery, porcelain, nails and the proverbial "stogie," a cigar which in appearance, resembles a geometrical line, defined as length without breadth or thickness. The population of Wheeling is about forty-four thousand—only twelve thousand of which are colored people. It is a clean and beautiful town. Its streets are well-paved, well-lighted and well-watered by a powerful plant, which is one of the wonders of American ingenuity. Natural gas is used for all purposes in cooking and heating during summer and winter. This latter convenience works like a charm, and it would be a blessing if the effort of Mayor Preston to secure this same service for Baltimore could succeed. Wheeling is a "dry" town and the evidences of thrift and prosperity are apparent on every hand. A number of banks, of attractive architecture, have taken the places of the saloons, and the earnings of the people, instead of being squandered in strong drinks as formerly, are now being deposited at four per cent. interest in savings banks. The colored people share in this prosperity. This fact is manifest in their manners and style of living, and the many beautiful homes which dot the different sections inhabited by them. No evidence of segregation apparent anywhere. In that portion of the town known as the highlands, white and colored people live adjoining each other, with only a narrow street dividing them, and what is most notable in nearly every such instance, the latter have the advantage of better and prettier homes to which they hold a fee simple title. The Reverend Doctor D. Dewitt Turpeau, formerly the agent of the Anti-Saloon League in the State of Maryland, is the able pastor of Simpson Methodist Episcopal Church, and is easily the most popular pastor in the town. It was gratifying to the Editor of the COMMONWEALTH to note the grasp which he has upon the people of both races, and the confidence which they repose in him. Already he has paid many outstanding obligations, and plans are in evidence for a new parsonage on neutral ground near the church. His accomplished wife graces the parsonage, and renders him invaluable aid in the development of his work. The Editor preached at 11 A. M. Sunday, addressed the Sunday school at 2 P. M., and another sermon at 8 P. M., completed his labors for the day. Our readers will agree that it was a rather strenuous task for Sunday in August, but the people enjoyed it and so did he. Monday was another busy day. By invitation, we called upon many prominent citizens, among them, the Mayor of the city, an affable and courteous gentleman, deeply interested in the welfare of his city and kindly disposed toward the colored people. Dr. Dickey, a leading physician, who is president of the Board of Health, and one of the leading banks of the group of financial institutions, and a warm and consistent friend of the colored people, was most cordial in his compliments and attentions to us. Counsellor Graham, a young colored lawyer, with an excellent future before him, the tonsorial parlors of Jackson and Clements, and the beautiful homes of the Murrays, in Pleasant Valley, and Edwards and Moore on the Heights, also came in for a place on the program. The Editor is grateful to the Board of Trade for favors in the form of State literature, badges, and emblems of a most valuable character, which were presented to him at the instance of his Honor the Mayor, who insisted that he should take in a visit to the Board of Trade in his itinerary. At night he lectured to a large and appreciative audience which gathered at the church in spite of the severity of the weather to hear him speak on "Reminiscences of Travel In the Centers of England, Europe and Africa." The gathering was a compliment to him, for it was publicly asserted that very few public speakers, under the pressure of the atmosphere, could have commanded so large an audience, and held them spell bound for one hour and a quarter. Annual State Bazar and Carnival. The Annual State Bazar and Carnival, which will be held on the beautiful farm of Mr. Stephen Watkins, Ellicott City, Md., Thursday, September 2, 1915, by the Howard County L. P. I. League and the Athleton M. E. Church, is an event worthy of the public's consideration. The Rev. Wm. N. Holt, the manager, is a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church of standing and character, and the promoter of many such large enterprises in the past, all of which have terminated with success and profit. An enterprise which gives an opportunity for competition in industry, such as the program indicates, is well worthy of patronage, and we urge upon our readers, who are in the vicinity to attend in large numbers. His Excellency Phillips Lee Goldsborough, Messrs. O. E. Weller, W. H. Warburton, Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General, and many other distinguished men of both races are programmed for addresses. The Episcopal Annual Conference. Programs for the annual Conference of Church Workers, which meets in Cambridge, Mass., on September 21st, have been issued. The opening service will be held in St. Paul's Cathedral, Boston. Among those who are to address the Conference are: Rt. Rev. Dr. William Lawrence, Bishop of Massachusetts; Bishop Suffragan Babcock, of the same diocese, and Dr. Hugh Carlton, General Secretary of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The special speakers at the great closing meeting Friday night, will be Archdeacon E. L. Henderson, Harrisburg, Pa.; Rev. Dr. Hutchens C. Bishop, rector of St. Phillips Church, New York, and Rev. H. A. S. Parris, rector of St. Mark's Church, Wilmington, N. C. Following the closing meeting a banquet at Cypress Hall, Cambridge, will take place. The Rev. Walter D. McClane is rector of St. Bartholomew's parish, which entertains the Conference. Archdeacon Delany, of North Carolina, is President, and Rev. Dr. Bragg, of this city, is secretary of the body. -THE COMMONWEALTH Rev. Joseph H. Norris, of John Wesley M. E. Church, residence, 1939 Druid Hill avenue, a profound admirer of the COMMONWEALTH, and a man of more than ordinary intelligence, is one of the accredited agents of the COMMONWEALTH, and can be reached either at his residence or his place of business, the John Wesley M. E. Church, corner of Sharp and Montgomery streets. John J. Hanson. The COMMONWEALTH notes with pleasure the appearance of John J. Hanson as candidate for nomination for Clerk of the Criminal Court. M. Hanson is popular among all classes, and his candidacy will meet with general approval. As a leader of men he is practical and fair, and possesses that kind of magnetism which draws men to him. The success of the Republican Party, during the last gubernatorial election, owed much to his wise and tactful management of affairs in the city. He gave dignified recognition to the Lincoln Republican League during the campaign, and made public mention of its services, along with other organizations in the city in the public press, in a way that was gratifying to the members of that body. It will be difficult for any other candidate of whatever party or faction to beat Hanson. The COMMONWEALTH will support his nomination and urges its friends and readers to vote for J. J. Hanson; for Clerk of the Criminal Court of Baltimore—the popular man of affairs. "Peace At Any Price." "The man who believes in peace at any price, or in substituting all—inclusive arbitration treaties for an army and navy, should instantly move to China. If he stays here, then more manly people will have to defend him, and he is not worth defending. Let him get out of the country as quickly as possible. To treat elocution as a substitute for action, to rely upon high sounding words unless backed by deeds, is proof of a mind that dwells only in the realm of shadow and shame."—Theodore Roosevelt. Noted Negro. Dr. Ernest Lyon, one of the world's most noted negroes is in Wheeling today, and will speak at the Simpson M. E. Church, Eoff street, Sunday morning. Dr. Lyon was former ambassador from the United States to the Liberian government in Africa. At the present time he is consulgeneral of the Liberian government in the United States. On Monday night Dr. Lyon will deliver an address on "Conditions Affecting the Negro Race." During his public life on two continents Dr. Lyon has done much toward the uplift of his race. He has traveled greatly and understands all of the peculiar conditions that face the negro race.—Wheeling W. Va., Intelligencer. Prof. Carrington L. Davis, of this city, and Miss Erma Bruce, daughter of the late Senator Blanche K. Bruce, will be married at the home of the bride's mother, in Kansas, on September 3rd.

Dr. Mossell was an able, vigorous and useful man. His experience covered a large range of activities.

His brother, Dr. N. F. Mossell, is the founder and active head of Mercy Hospital in the City of Philadelphia. Death Of Mrs. Mary E. Anderson Mrs. Mary E. Anderson, of 535 Presstman street, whose health has been declining for some time, died last Sunday in Montgomery county, whither she had gone but a few days before, to spend a short while.
