Toronto, Canada, Dec. 31.—Toronto, Canada is widely known as a Music City; it possesses several fine choirs, a Royal Brass Band, and Scottish Pipe Band, but it remained for our group to furnish its best concert orchestra, and to the Gameso belong that distinction. Less than two years ago seven young Colored musicians, seeing the need of a first-class concert orchestra in this city, decided to corner that honor for the Race. To C. Andie Johnson, graduate of The Toronto Conservatory, fell the task of forming the organization and conducting its rehearsals. Mr. Johnson was ably assisted by Leroy Williams, graduate of Cincinnati Conservatory, and after earned the title of Toronto's finest. The musicians, each one a master of his art, are: C. Andie Johnson, Cello: Leroy Williams, pianist; Geo. Bennett, Violin; Andrew Hackley, Clarinet; Grant Hackly, Xlyphone and traps; Lewis Washington, Trombone; and Joseph Johnson, Cornet.

Major Wright was principal speaker on three occasions while in the city but his special message "a New Program for a New Day" was delivered Friday night before a highly receptive audience at St. James A.

Prof. Carr told of the fame of Major Wright due to his "tell them we're rising" episode and of his high success during succeeding years as a financier and executive. Major Wright in beginning his remarks complimented the church and spoke of its erection as being indicative of enlarged vision on the part of the pastor and members. He compared present day worship to that of the days when as he said "we cut down trees and made arbors which were our earliest tabernacles." "Yes, times have changed," he declared.

Williams is the new president of the Baptist after a long to be remembered battle among the Baptist hosts. This old town has been alive all week with the seasons of the National Baptist Convention and its auxiliaries; of all the large cities of the country there is perhaps none more hospitable or more suited to large Negro gatherings. Here one meets the warm hospitality of the of the South, the generous treatment of the north and the combined virtues of every cosmopolitan city. This is true, regardless of the apparent hostility of a few color-phobia poisoned minded whites, who through telephone calls, anonymous letters, and the like tried to create a condition that would prevent the meetings held in the Kings Theatre, on the fashionable King's Highway, and just east of a fairy fashionable section; the attempt, however, was not condoned by the excellent white blood of the city which predominates, and to whose fairness is due much of the spirit of good will which pervades every community activity. St. Louis, was in fact not in sympathy with this minority or partial cultural St. Louis.

The Kingshighway Protective Association, the Cabanne District Improvement Association and the Pountain Park District Improvement Association at a meeting at 822 North Kingshighway, a resolution was passed protesting against the use of the theater by Negroes and authorizing this telegram: "We, the Kingshighway Protective Association, representing more than 1000 families in the Kings Theater District, protest against the use of that theater by a Negro convention to be held beginning December 6, knowing it will be in Juries to this community." "If this convention is held as proposed, we pledge ourselves to ask the citizens of St. Louis to refuse to patronize the Kings Theater, Missouri Theater, or any place of amusement showing films produced by the National Ballets of the Bannée District Improvement Association and the Pountain District Improvement Association join with us in making this protest." A reporter in an effort to ascertain who is in charge of the theater, and who was responsible for the performance of the theater, and who was responsible for the contract renting the theater to the convention, was told that Nathan Frank, president of the Famous Players-Lasky Missouri Corporation, approved and signed the contract.

Hodge, of Scrivens, Ga., was a his way to Daytona, Ga., on business it is alleged when he ran over the small lad at a curve on the state highway near here. He went to the magistrate's office and put up $100 forfeit for his appearance at the hearing and was released to continue his journey. The accident occurred on November 14. At the hearing last Tuesday afternoon before Justice of The Peace Greenberg, Mr. Hodge was exonerated on the charge of careless driving. It was stated that the mother of the boy had entered civil suit for $10,000 damages against Hodge. The matter was said to have been settled out of the court when Hodge and his attorneys told the woman how much trouble it would be to conduct a case of this kind and the enormous cost involved and that she the money for competent lawyers, would have to spend a lot of money for competent lawyers, who would finally get most or practically all of the best thing for her to do would be to settle the case out of court and get it without trouble and no-terfety. So the woman said that $10 would suit her since it would put an end to all the bother and trouble. MOTHER OF MOUND BAYOU FOUNDER DIES. (By A. N. P.) Clarksaite,麦迪. Dec. 12.

Fire companies from nearby towns had to be called in to help subdue the devastation of flames. The area razed by the fire stretched for half a mile from the w/stern fire, and the city to the New- River. The fire was the first of the Roper lumber company, and the loss is variously estimated at $250,000. More than 300 N.gross were thrown out of employments at this place. While the flames were rising in the lumber plant a disastrous fire started in the Negro residential section. Firemen being occupied at the lumber company were unable to respond to the fall immediately and were in flames. Nevada's fire was in flanks. By that time five houses had been completely destroyed, and the flames fanned by a high wind, had gained great headway and scores of hundred or more in flanks. Nevada's families were hastily removing whatever belongings they could from their homes, but the onward sweep of the flames forced most of them to abandon their efforts to save any of their household goods. One of the most high sparks were carried several blocks and fires were breaking out in various parts of the city. Several persons were treated at various hospitals for minor injuries.

Those were days of suffering. Later my mother heard of a school that had been opened up for exlaves and she decided to put me in it. We had no means of transportation and we walked 300 miles to Atlanta. Univerally which then was being conducted in a box car. While in that school my life was molded and my determination fixed that the sufferings through which my mother went should not be in vain. All Negro mothers of that period suffered. They suffered greatly and in the light of our knowledge of that suffering we should wonder deeply whether or not that suffering has made us anxious enough that our achievement be commensate with it. We should really and seriously attempt to discover whether or not we are not still asleep, shackled at least to a certain extent in soul, heart and intelligence. Individually we have done remarkably well. Individually among us we have been able to grow $900,000; individuals among us own 1 million farms; individuals among us have to struggle with some splendid business projects. We are far from pauper.

He declared that the part of the Negro in this great re-adjustment was the painting of his own group to the end that greater financial strength might be gained. He said: "Ouyest great need at the time of the war, and it makes it serve us. Cooperation is the only means of obtaining this result. Any race which cannot produce the same degree of cooperation at the bottom of the world's affair." Continuing he declared that "in the country we are compelled to work the country in which we have no voice and take no part three hundred thousand million dollars of Negro land and positions—not for Negroes but for white men. One corporation alone which is patronized by two Negroes of Negroes of America from the country does not a dollar of that staggering sum go to a Negro in its employ for though it has more than 12,000 men on its pay- Let us not feel that this old way is good enough. Let us cease to be satisfied to collect for the other because we are not so lucky to be hacking in the essentials of financial stability. We can do for ourselves. Negroes have both monarchs and queens, but we know not how to use it." He then told of the case of a Negro farmer of Georgia who owned a farm and left his family destitute because he had entrusted all of his affairs to a white administrator; who saw it as a power by the combinations of Negro capital which were possible. He spoke at length of his plan to seize the land and the success with which he was meeting declaring that "though I may not live to see to completion my dream, I will see it through to a higher degree of success than even I now can imagine. We must continue for years. At the close of Major Wrights addreses Prof. N. W. Harlee speaks briefly in commendation of it and the project which the Major is for."

It is not afflicted with the flannel mouth. It is in a plain, every day, sensible, conservative nonapostrophe. It passes the passing breasts; flies on a unpleasant flag: It performs a patriotism as broad as the country. Its love of occult justice covers all the territories occupied by the human race. This is pretty high ground, and the only reason Boyd, boys of the press come up and stand with us. This ground is holy. CHRISTMAS Again we come to the celebration of the day upon which The Savior of the World, the Prince of Peace of the World, the Prince of Peace of "That God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." At this season it is fitting that we individually and collectively build ourselves and realize that in many ways God's Great Gift is not being fully appreciated and could be asked by us with prait to ourselves, at this season. Do we realize day by day that spirit of reverence and thankfulness is the spirit of Christ in men which shows itself in the multitude of benevolent institutions which indulge at the disposal of society in an ever increasing number day by day? Do we realize that we share in the advent of our heavenly begin in the world with the advent of our Recessor, have a definite duty to perform in showing our willingness to help in its settlement? Something of the full realization of these truths should be ours as we age. We should Christianize them, we can in such a way do it, we can fully realize the appeal of that first. Christmas morning, we could extend to the children the triumph of our Lord and the angels sang their gladdenness, wow to all the children, and on earth Peace and Goodwill toward men." At though absence of this great day demands that in our every moment we should be the feeling of peace and goodwill which only true thankfulness to an All wise Jewish can bring. Who can remember when everybody went to church on Christmas morning? It has about proton (?) now that parents believe in Saints Claus more than their babies do. It takes a rightly mean man to take up a Christian pleasure more than anything else, the less fortunate about him to greater joy. We are also wondering how many nice white lilies are going to be cold to friends who have us just what we didn't need. The old saying that "We can live to hit self as we own best at Christmas" But Christmas deals. Do your bit but to save the world be rid of a disease which keeps it and PERPETUATING FOR "BLACK MAMMY." The memory of "the faithful Colored nammies would be perpetuated in bronze and granite, under fered by Sequoia Williams, of Mississippi.

But those of such be the case let such a monum for them it will serve its purpose. We are than number is decreasing. To them let it be a remin long since departed—we hope forever. The memory of "the faithful Colored manners of the South" would be perpetuated in bronze and granite, under a resolution offered in Congress by Senator Williams, of Mississippi. The measure would direct the chief of engineers of the army to select a site in Washington and permit Jefferson Davis Chapter, No. 1,850, United Daughters of the Confederacy, to erect the monument as a "gift to the people of the United States" as a sincere tribute to a fast vanishing generation of us—"faithful Negro Mammies," without reference to whom no white person's speech before a Negro audience was ever complete. It is possible that there is a sincere and deep feeling of love for them existing in the breasts of "their children" whom they nursed and nurtured and helped to raise. That such a sentiment should prompt a memorial to them appeals to us as highly fitting. But we, the descendants of these "mammies," also taught at their knees and raised by them in the fear of God together with a love of freedom, wonder why more lasting evidence of this love should be remembered and constructive effort at the betterment of their descendants who no less than they are working efficiently for the improvement of the section in which they live. Slavery and its relies belong to a by-gone day. It is our opinion that society as a whole should remember it only as a means of marking the progress of civilization since its abolition as an American custom. Some there are however to whom this progress has caused only regret. Some there are who still long for the "good old days" and who quarrels. We cannot be sure that this monument is not the result of such a sentiment which would clarify those days. But even if such be the case let such a monument be raised For them it will serve its purpose. We are thankful that their number is decreasing. To them let it be a reminder of a glory long since departed—we hope forever. To us it will mean something totally different. Doubtless this shaft will be gigantic—almost collossal.

Were it true that the visit to Dallas of Major gave opportunity only for the sight and acquaint famous and picturesque a character; our city mightulate itself upon his decision to spend a few days,unfortunately we are not forced to gain our maximumprofit from this source alone. Major Wright brougeltive message to Dallas; a message so far differentnally delivered by our orators that we feel justifiit it so well worthy of perpetuation. Were it true that the visit to Dallas of Major R. R. Wright gave opportunity only for the sight and acquaintance with so famous and picturesque a character, our city might well congratulate itself upon his decision to spend a few days here. But fortunately we are not forced to gain our maximum pleasure and profit from this source alone. Major Wright brought a constructive message to Dallas; a message so far different to those usually delivered by our orators that we feel justified in classing it as a source of inspiration. Simply stated Major Wright urges that Negro money be used more efficiently for the benefit of Negroes. The expression of this thought grew out of a statement of his to the effect that "a race which can not produce financial giants must sooner or later find itself at the bottom of the ladder of civilization." Another and no less striking thought was expressed by him to the effect that "young men are the race's greatest assets. Cooperation stimulated today will result in greatness on the morrow." He dram. "In conclusion he declared that "Dallas need a Negro bank." To have said that Dallas needs a Negro bank was to have uttered a truth gainssaid by none who are in possession of the facts. Our business life lags, our property owners are fewer, our participation in the business life of our city lessened by reason of the fact that we must depend for our financial expansion upon the whim and caprice of others. Dallas can afford a bank. It can support it. It ought to have it. Savings belonging to Negroes in Dallas banks have been said to total more than one million dollars. As conditions now stand it is true that "we only act as collector for the other man pooling our money so that it may be better used by him to give employment to more of his people. And in this connection be it said that such a course would be satisfactory could we but find ourselves able to take care of our own needs. But we are not; yet we neglect ourselves to help others less well than their own needs. Such a course of reasoning cannot be discarded as valueless for few of us who seek to grow have not been made to realize how powerless we are with no virile financial organizations of our own. Without access to money men with ideas of value are condemned to failure and oblivion. Money talks in a language which all men respect. Nations, races and individuals who lay claim to greatness must have it or be able to control it and direct to serve their need. Such is not our lot in Dallas. And it is not so primarily because we as yet need to improve our ability to do this and the urgent need of it is being done. If the visit of Major Wright and his message serve only to impress our lack of financial strength and our need for it upon us, he will have done for us an inestimable service. In one way at least Clemenceau's visit was a success. Our folks feel that France is not ashamed of her fairness to Colonial troops. As we see it Senator Harrison just got to talk about the Liberian loan and when he ran out of definite information he just kept on talking. Again Representative Tinkham suggests to President Harding the suffrage question as a good way to really accomplish something. Evidently he doesn't recognize in the G. O. P. idol the "Great Procrastinator." The Dyer Bill is dead. Talk killed it. The G. O. P. will not begin to realize how many mourners its death caused till 1924. Perry Howard accuses the N. A. A. C. P. of causing the death of the Dyer Bill. His prattings will probably cause him no little of comfort when he learns that few if any of us thank him for doing his bit to I end it. Some day the G. O. P. will actually become the "real ship." Otherwise give us the sea. Georgia editors are commending Dr. Moton on his "good will to fear." Why doesn't somebody invite him to Texas. We really need him here.

Orlando was retired before the Peace Conference was over. Venezuelas practically was hankled in a short time.

President Wilson saw the United States Senate rep of Nations covenant, and the people of the United Stat e administration. Clementeus resigned as premier, ran for the presid eated. New Lloyd George, last of the five, has been forced And the world moves on—Topeka Capital. Clemenceau resigned as premier, ran for the presidency, and was defecated. Now Lloyd George, last of the five, has been forced to resign. And the world moves on... Topkea Capital. UNANSWERABLE. Had the Dyer anti-lynching bill been introduced in the period when Senator Tillman was earning the title "Pitchford Pen" it would have been condemned by a South Carolina Senator in terms wholly different from the terms in which Senator Underwood condemns it. Of course, the advocates of the bill, politicians strive to make political capital of their support of it, will charge every opponent with opposing interference with machinations which constitute make safe for participants. But anyone who nourishes the slightest sentiment for the sovereignty exists under the organic law by which the Union was constituted, must admit that Senator Underwood is unanswerable when he says. The passage of this bill would tear down the last vestige of the integrity of State governments. The Underwood, in announcing that a deadlock of the business of Congress will result if the advocates of the bill insist upon pushing it, and that the minority will assume full responsibility for their action, is taking a stand for State sovereignty in circumstances which should not be ignored. The record of conscientious public service is as clear as that under There is, by the way, in the Administration's programme for this Congress no business that is of more importance than defense of the rights of States. If the functioning of Congress would be blocked by the obstinacy of advocates of the Dyer bill the loss to America would be inconsiderable by comparison with the enactment of the Dyer bill would involve in the event of its being enacted and becoming Federal law. Of course, its passage would not mean that it would become law. The United States Supreme Court would be asked to pass upon its constitutionality. The question put to that body would be, in substance; Shall State rights be abolished? —Louisville (Ky) Courrier Journal. THE REDS WILL NOT "CONVERT" THE AMERICAN NEGRO From the Soviet Russian capital comes the somewhat sensational news that the Third Internationale, now in session there, proposes to assume a protectorate over the American Negro and, indeed, to pose as the black race's champion everywhere! A world congress is to be held in Moscow—or somewhere in the United States—at which the Negroes will consider plans for "bettering themselves and asserting their fight." Inferentially, that will be under "Red" direction. An American Negro delegate to the Internationale is quoted as painting a pathetic picture of the race's industrial and economic "enslavement" in this country. "The Negroes feel that their route to liberation lies with Moscow he said expressing the hope that many of his Negro fellow communities will be army and navy. That sort of talk is ridiculous and insulting, gave that it affords certain fuel to feed the flames of racial prejudice and animosity—which they delight to kilearch afresh upon the least pretext. Every sane, judicious-minded person knows that the rabid agitator presuming to represent the American Negro, in Moscow, speaks for no consequential number of his race. The average American Negro is too levelheaded to be misled by any such folly. Rumors have been afloat before, that Communist agents had invaded the Southern field; and these have proved quite as groundless as the wartime talk of Negro "insurrection" or previous I. W. w. scares. The Negro has refused to listen to Red agents. If there have been any—just as he ignored the illuring advances of the enemy in war or the syndicalist "organizer." several movements have been launched to colonize the Negro in Africa, but have met little response. Negroes have been persuaded to move North, better living conditions, educational advancements and economic opportunities—and the great majority then, after a brief sojourn, have left their new environment in despair, and returned to the South. Long since, the intelligent Negro learned that his worst enemy is the professional "champion" of his "cause"—like the Moscow agitator—and that he has no stunten friend than the decent Southern white man with whom he was reared. No one else understands him so well or has a more sincere solicitude for his welfare and betterment. The South needs the Negro, and the Negro needs the South. This fact always has been recognized by broad-minded groups of either race and its universal acceptance which is sure to come in time, would solve the socalled Negro problem. More and more, the two races are coming to understand that they have common interests and there is no essential inborn antagonism. And both have a common foe that would stir up primal passions and age-old hatred, such as are ventured in mob-murder and sporadic "race wars." Growth of this understanding is manifest in such co-operative organizations as the inter racial commissions in Nashville and Atlanta. Therein, leaders of the two races have joined to combat crime and lynch "law," and to promote education and betterment enterprises. In Georgia—where the then Governor, M. Dorsey, appointed a State Committee on Race and Justice—there is a remarkable growth in anti-lynchning sentiment. Twenty- two indictments and four convictions for mob crimes this year! These are but manifestations of a bad, lawful spirit that is growing throughout the South, despite the efforts of bigoted groups and secret societies to sow fresh seeds of discord and prejudice. Gradually and surely the Negro is improving his own condition. He is learning the path to a better life and knows that it lies not in following the venial agitator, but through his own industry, through education, and the wise co-operation of his white friends and neighbors. The Negro's role in the Red agent eductions, he might inquire what Bohannism has done for Russia. At least, the Southern Negro have not died by wholesale of starvation. The so-called Dyer anti-lynching bill, which has been passed in the house of representatives and is now pending in the senate, has naturally become the subject of a democratic filibuster which, in the present condition of legislation and the desire of the administration to "clean up" as far as possible with its announced policies before the new congress of 1918, has been called "the Dyer bill." The surrender Harrison, of Milwaukee, and Senator Underwood, of Alabama, backed by all their colleagues on the democratic side, have declared that it shall not pass. Of course, their attitude of maintaining the rights of the states to control their own internal affairs in a large way strains party consistency, but it is gratifying to know that they have at last become sensitive to the retention of whatever rights are now left to the states. As Mr. Underwood very frankly said, the passage of this measure in the present realest state of the public mind will be dangerous to the public. The state legislature has been called a public. The people have borne about as much federal interference with their rights as they are going to stand, so that the senate ought to be warned against further legislation in that direction. We have the absolute contempt in which the Voluntary act in hold by all classes of the people as a rich example of what we may expect if, through a purely political runeer in the congress, another act curtailing the police powers of the states; and introducing more federal meddling in purely local affairs shall be placed upon the statute books. The senate has been a warning to the majority that the law they propose to put on the states will not be enforced, or, if it is, it will be at the end of federal bayonets; and it does not require much thought to understand what will happen when federal bayonets today. Let's see. Maybe your father will go and find out if they need anything." Mrs. Dale started to call her husband, William, but Buck laid a restraining hand on her arm. "Mother, why can't I go to Aunt Dita's? If I leave now I will reach the cabin about the time Cynthia returns." "All right, son, if you don't mind," "Oh, dear! rheumatism is certainly bad," sighed the kind-hearted little lady as she rose from her chair by the hearth. She crossed to a fable in the center of the room and picked up a package, and again turned to Buck. "Here, Buck, take this shawl which I bought today to Aunt Dita. It's very chilly in their home. The winds fairly race through the cracks and crevices in the dilapidated walls. As soon as the snow melts I am going to have William nail some of the boards in place." Buck took the neatly wrapped bundle and started on his journey across the fields. He whistled a gay Christmas tune and thought of the many happy scenes of which he had been a part of the holiday season. To him all the year, he had always had a fir tree from the hillside bedecked in shiny ornaments, popcorn 'strings', and candy canes. To him the holiday festivities were always mithful and gay, while Christmas in Cynthia and Aunt Dita's little home had never been a felicitous event. To him the holiday festivities about how to make things jolly on Santa's busiest day, and I believe I do, some little cabin is going to be the scene of a jolly gift, and the pathway is a tree that would look well adoring someone's sitting room." And when the Merry Christmas bell do ring Across the fields of Silverdale so white, A message of good cheer they'll call To Cynthia and Aunt Dita at the sight Of Santa's miniature reindeer three, and mysterious bended head up high Clustering 'round a glowing Christmas tree, Then the Yuletide is now nigh. FIGHT FOR ANTI-LYNCHING LEGISLATIAN TO CONTINUE. REVOLT AGAINST OLD LEADERS FEARED. (By A. N. P.) Washington, D. C. Dec.—IN THE BRIGHT LEXICON OF COLORED AMERICANS, THERE IS NO SUCH text for the future before the race. Those who have expected imitationations because of the failure of the army are, in the meantime, well be to bitter and final disappointment. There are protestations, determinations, accusations, and hellions, Americans are passing through the most critical stage of their national crisis. Americans are passing through the most critical stage of their national crisis. There is going to be something happen, but what it is, none can say be rather dangerous for someone to run out of fire through beech and yell "Fire." The excitement that would follow might make interesting front page content. Political Situation Complex The political situation makes the outlook most complex. Both by directness and unfortunately, Colored citizens have been placed in the most unnatural position politically. Always counted on to be counted on as "sure things" by white politicians, the dope has been amazingly baked to the unfortunately deliberate efforts to more or less embarrass Colored citizens who have steadfastly backed the Republican party. The irony of "Patey." Practically everything to which Republicans have set their sights on has precipitation and good will, has run up against a stone wall of demagogic and unimaginable minority Democracy. Aided by supposed Republicans. The Democrats have blocked the name, admitted it, and told the Republicans to stop the soaring too big, nor have they failed to stop to anything too low. They have themselves and Republican hope. Outside of Arthur G. Froe, as Recorder of Deeds, and Solomon P. Democrates, the Democrats have advanced, steadily opposition to the consideration of any Colored American for an importation confirmation. It is the firsttime in American politics that such tactics have been so permanently successful. Democrates Expect Support The number of colored citizens in North voted the Democratic ticket in Nov., as a protest, in one way and another. In the North, expect sensible Colored voters to support their candidates for office, when here in Washington, the mercy of the unyielding and unreasonable demagogs of the South? It has been talked about Washington, the citizens of Color have been playing into the hands of southern Democrats. Investigation disclosures that there are unrequantance with some of the most rabid of the South's rabble but no evidence has been found of the acquaintance. shall be invoked to discipline a liberty loving people. Filibusters aren't always tolerable, but in this case the country will cry "Amens!" to Senators Woodward and Harrison and their democratic colleagues or having instituted it against this infamous bit of legislation. No newspaper in the country has more openly, persistently and consistently fought ynch law and the methods of the mob than The Chattanooga Times, but the Chattanooga Times believes that if the states in their sovereign capacity cannot and will not put down these twin evils the federal government will only make them worse by any unwarranted interference in a matter with which it is not concerned. The states have got to do it or it will not be done. — Chattanooga Times PEN SKETCHES OF PRESENT DAY NEXIO NOTABLES. By W. H. A. Moore. (By A. N. P.) Robert Russa Moton CHRISTMAS AT THE LITTLE CABIN. (By A. N. P.) In the quietude of the cold and white D-denber evening one lonely pedestrian plodded wearily through the deep fallen snow of Silverdale. She gathered close around the slender figure of the snowflakes fell on a do d mass of tangled hair. While Buck Dale, recently returned to town, watched the cottage window as the early dark, he noticed the little warfawer and wondered what had sent her there. The pedestrian men were hovering about open fireplains, endowing to forget that the thermometer registered below zero. The men had bedded below so. Then Time was already the laity, when Time was already sed her with a faint smile and a smile. "Mother, I saw Cynthia Kinspe just here a moment ago; it is very cold for foot travellers tonight, especially such frail ones as that poor "What's that?" queried Mrs. Dale in a startled tone, looking up for the first time from her needlework. "You say you saw Cynthia pass here?" Surely, then, Aunt Dita is much worse, and the poor child is braving this stinging weather to go for Dr. Tiffsie. I should go right over to see her this minute, because she must be alone, as there are only the two of them—Cynthia and herself, but my rheumatism is dreadful. (By A. N. P.)

BANKERS' FIRE INSURANCE CO. ...AYS NEWBURN CLAIMS PROMPTLY. (By A. N. P.) Durham, N. C., Dec. 21. —The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company scored decisively last week. It was the two million dollar Newbern fire that gave the bank a big boost to jump overnight into the big buni- means iluight of this section of the country. Less than 48 hours after the big configuration the representatives of the Bankers was on the scene and adjusting the claims and making arrangements for immediate settlement of losses. This was a record business achievement and has made a profound impression throughout the state of North Carolina. One of the interesting features of the situation in the fact that the prompt action of the Negro company caused a hardship to other companies facing the payment of big claims due to the fire facility. So acute was the difenua in which these others found themselves that they called upon the bankers, to call temporary halt in its speed paying campaign so as to give their brother business companies a chance to catch up with them. The relevant was completed with them but not until the Negro company had paid out something more than $20,000 in claims. This action was not a deliberate attempt to come to other insurance concerns embarrassment but for the simple reason that a large number of color of people were big losers in the fire which conversed forty blocks and destroyed more than 1,200 homes and needed immediate help. This human attitude of the Barkers' Fire Insurance Company has done much to improve the position of the company. And from the effect the company's action has had on the general business gain in the sum of $100,000. And from the respect which the Colored folks themselves had held toward their own business enterprises, a big bank owned by the company of the gain for the race. The combined capital and surplus of the Barkers' company is $275,000. The company held over $7,000,000 of business. This gave it first standing among the fire insurance companies in the South Carolina W. Pearson is the president and W. Gomez is the secretary of the company. The present organization is the largest Southern Fire Insurance Company. Beyond the power of paring. The silence and the tears. Our hearts shall dwell together. God's eternal years.

All of Dallas has been startled by what appears to be an almost miraculous cure of lanceae effect, last Friday morning in St. James A. M. E. Tempel by Rev. Jeremiah, evangelist and divine healer recently. Miss Effie White, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Finley, 604 Good street, was raised from a crouch to a throne in the thirteen months by rheumatism, unable to move herself or walk, and given strength to walk about the church. Spectators Dumfounded. Though Elder Jeremiah had been as a healer no particular demons were encountered, he been manifested during the preceding meetings and the healing of this young lady, who is credited by no observer. She had been brought into the church upon a cot. Upon reaching the statement to the effect that if she had faith enough she could step forth and walk unaided. She believably limbs to the side of the cot and placed them flatingly upon the floor; then as slowly she stood up, she looked down at her limbs was using her limbs which for so long had failed her. He told her to walk believing that she could and was walking down the church; down its steps and to her home nearly a block removed from the church she was willing bows her head. That her recovery is not purely temporary is proved by the fact that even next day she returned to church unaided and has not retaken her bed. Says Henling Power is Divine Gift. Elder Jeremiah makes no pretense of being miraculously endowed himself. Speaking in explanation of certain remarkable cures effected by him he said: "It is no peculiar gift. If came only after much prayer and is, I feel only a trust in the power of God to show himself through man. I have not always been able to do this. It came to me one day as I was preaching under a tree. I had dismissed my congregation when all at once a voice seemed to tell me to have them return on the next day to be healed. I told them believing that some way God would give me power. Next day they came and trusting absolutely I found power to call them to faith in God to cure their ailments." In his manner Elder Jeremiah is plain, almost ordinary—which the and enthusiasm which one would expect in one of his boasted attainments. He speaks simply, sometimes haltingly but with a directness and simplicity which make the truths which he seeks to explain easily apparent. Has Accumulated Much Property. If appearances count for anything necessary for life. Dressed in a long flowering robe of silk, embroidered with a pattern of flowers, he has every appearance of opulence. His company consists of seven per- sonals beside him. They came to the company in model cars of high price and standard make. A competent chauffeur mechanic is a member of the party. It is reported that in Houston from which the company came that five other people attended and paid for a handsome church, saffron and other property to the count $5000. Many Others Report Cures. While the cure of the crippled patient occurred, occurring his stay in Dallas so far, many other sick per- sonals attending his meetings and reporting their conditions much improved. Crowds attend all of his patients, which begin each morning at 9 o'clock.

Richard Wagner, a German composer and originator of the music drama, was born in Leipzig 1813, although his parents were not musicians. Wagner early showed talent in this line. In 1830 he entered the University of Leipzig and in 1832 he became conductor of the opera at Magdeburg. At this time composed several operas but "Das Lübeverbot" was the only one which received recognition. Wagner continued to write and in 1842 began the operas taken from the legend "Tannhäuser." In 1845 Wagner engaged in political discussions which later resulted in a wargam for his arrest. He fed to Weimar and during his exile "Lohengrin" was produced under the direction of Lüst, Aug. 22, 1846. Lohengrin was the hero of the medieval German legend "the Knight of the Swan." He was one of the Knights of the Holy Grail and was sent by King Arthur from the castle of the Grail to the help of Elsa, Princess of Brabant. Lohengrin traveled on a boat drawn by a Swan, overthrew her persecutor and married the lady with the provision that she should never inquire his origin. She disobeyed him and the Swan returned while Lohengrin departed. This legend was the basis of Wagner's opera. Wagner broke away from the rig- d classical form which had long held away and let inspiration and freedom be the guide in his com- position. This important step alone would be enough to make his fame enduring without the added luster of the founding of music in 1868 brings forth true music drama which caus- ed his lasting fame. Wagner's last work was "Parisfal" written in 1882. Shortly afterward Wagned died in Venice, 1882. Rubinstein, Anton; born in Wech- wotneec (Rhergon) Russia, Nov. 30, 1830.
