Lankford, probably the most widely known Negro mechanic in this country, was honored by Wilberforce University, June 19th, with the degree of Master of Science. Mr. Lankford, though a young man, has been honored in the last three years by three of the best colleges in the country. He is a practical, scientific mechanic, a man of wonderful natural and acquired ability. He has just finished making the plans and specifications for the $70,000 building, which is being erected in this city, for the True Reformers, of Richmond, Va. Mr. Mank'ford is a good example of the possibilities of the young Negro along scientific mechanical lines in this country. Only a few years ago young Lankford started out as did Booker T. Washington, with nothing but pluck, push and determination. He was born a poor boy on a farm in the little town of Potosi, Mo. He now stands at the head of his rank, and there are few mechanics, white or black, who know more about teaching, lecturing and putting the theory to actual practice, than this young man.

Elbert were surprised and pointed to learn of his death last Wednesday morning, notwithstanding he had been long stricken with a malady when considered with his age gave but little hope of recovery. Dr. Elbert was born in the 30's in Kent county, Maryland. He obtained his schooling in Athens county, Ohio, to which state he came in 1857. He went as far as the sophomore class at Oberlin College. He came to Indianapolis in 1867 and engaged in school teaching, being one of the first colored men to be thus employed. Dr. Elbert was the pioneer as a colored practitioner of medicine in this city, and for many years he was the only colored graduate of medicine in the city. He graduated from the Indiana Medical College in 1871, standing first in his class. He enjoyed a lucrative practice and was looked upon as a man thoroughly conversant with his profession, and was respected by all the physicians in the city. He has served on the Board of Health, and in many ways has been recognized and honored by the citizens of Indianapolis. As a member of the church he has worked incessantly for years proclaiming his faith at all times. He often filled the pulpits of the churches in and around the city, preaching a straight, practical doctrine indicative of the man. As a politician, Dr. Elbert was the leading man of this community and state. In fact no important move was made among the colored people until it met his approval. As a campaign speaker, he was very much in evidence. He was known throughout the state. In remuneration for his very valuable services he had been mentioned time and time again for this place or that, but as it is with those who stand out, the opposition was tremendous. He was spoken of for places, but the matter ended there. Those who knew him, know his work, cannot but feel that the fates might have been kinder to him. He was a man of reserve and much dignity. His conception of the fitness of things was one of his rare qualities. He did not allow a color condition to modify his notion of man, or man's duty to man. The citizens here bore him much respect and sympathize with his bereaved family, consisting of four sons and two daughters. Negro Business League Meeting. The National Negro Business League, of which Booker T. Washington is president, and which holds its third annual meeting at Richmond, Va., August 25 to 27, 1902, promises to be more largely attended than either of the former meetings held at Boston and Chicago respectively. A large number of Northern delegates are planning to be present. The South will be represented as never before. Several delegations will make the trip to Richmond in special Pullman coaches. This is true of the Boston and Chicago delegations, and negotiations are pending for others at this time. Delegates are promised from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and the District of Columbia. Many of these states will furnish especially large delegations. The city of Atlanta, Ga, alone will send twenty four delegates. Boston will send nearly as many. Persons who are planning to go should write Booker T. Washington, the president, or Emmett J. Scott, the corresponding secretary, at Tuskegee, Ala., at once. All of the Passenger Associations east of the Rocky Mountains have granted a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip on the certificate plan. It is planned to have an extensive exhibit of photographs of business men and of their places of business at the Richmond meeting. Under the Lime Light. Milwaukee, Wis., Special—W. H. Hawkins, of Washington, D. C., came home to work in the interest of Hor. John C. Spooner on the 27th ult. Mrs. Calvin Lyvers has gone to Freemont, O., to spend the summer with relatives. W. M.

The waiters at the Plunkinton have begun to take their vacations. Every waiter who has been employed steady for one year are given three days with full pay. Those who have been employed six months are given one day and a half. Robt Barnes is on the slick list. J. J. Miles spent a few days in Batavia and Geneva, Ill., last week.

Here Aspirants for Honors Meet with their Henchmen and Discuss the Situation-Graduates Class a Large One-A Bouquet for the President. Pulaski, Tenn., Special.—"On to Wilberforce" is the cry of the big men of the A. M. E. church every June, the commencement season draws nigh. They come from every section of the church. It is the time for the annual trustees' meeting of that institution. Wilberforce is the general conference "lobby chamber." Here aspirants for honors meet with their henchmen to lay plans and discuss the "situation." Here the lesser lights congregate to "get before the church;" for the main strength of the general conference, usually constitute the trustee board. It is said that the recent commencement at Wilberforce was the most auspicious of any in the history of the institution in many respects. Many who had ignorantly sized up President Johna H. Jones as the wrong man for the position, left with nothing but praise in his favor. All were convinced that a master hand is guiding the ship. President Jones does not possess that false show of reservation and dignity characteristic of some men holding such positions, indeed, he may lack something of the polish usually possessed by great educators, but he is a giant of intellectual strength. Cast in a rugged mould, endowed by nature with a strong physique and a barrel of common sense, he is destined to be classed among the greatest school men of the day. He lacks the tact of money getting, but he is an unequaled match in utilizing the means at hand, and building up Wilberforce proper, the very thing the connection wants to see done. No class work was done during the last week. The time during the day was devoted to business of the trustees and the sessions of the Bishops' Council. At night exercises of various kinds were held in a tent pitched on the campus, no hall on the ground being large enough to accommodate the vast throng. One thing quite noticeable to a Southern delegate was the promiscuous commingling of the whites and colored at these exercises without the least apparent friction. We saw no such thing as "seats for the whites," so often seen in Southern audiences when the whites "condescend to attend." Commencement day collapsed anything that ever took place at Wil伯力force. Sevenenty persons received diplomas and certificates of graduation from eight different departments, including classical, scientific, theological, normal, commercial, shorthand and typewriting, sewing, cooking and carpentry. Among this number were several native Africans from South Africa. Mr.Charlas Alexander, in charge of the Printing department, is probably the most unique character and the quintest genius on the teaching force. Few men know him as he really is. He is quiet and unassuming, but as all around man, his superior is not to be found at Wil伯力force. Bishop Abraham Grant is president of the Trustee Board. He is a matchless presiding office, impartial in his ruling, and cool headed. Bishop Grant has never yet been characterized as a tyrant, as some of the bishops have. He is popular with everybody. He allows everybody to have his say, even if it is an attack upon his ruling. He takes it good naturally and still remains friendly with his opponent. Dr. W. D. Chappelle and Bishop C. S. Smith tried to lock horns on several occasions, but the usual fluid was emptied upon the flame in time to prevent a general conflagration. Dr. R. H. W. Leak, the martyr of the Publishing House muddle, was on hand with his usual amount of fire, having lost none of his old time energy. Dr. Leak could get the floor when floor room was at a premium. More money was raised at this meeting by the trustees than at any meeting before. Four hundred dollars being the cash laid on the table. The number of delegates next year are expected to be doubled. It will be just before the general conference, and that means a great deal to the aspirant for office. I. A. JONES Only nineteen days of cur $1.00 rate.

Any person who will make a careful examination of the corn plant will find that first a system of very fine thread- like roots are formed as near the sur- face of the ground as they can find heat and moist soil, These spread out hori- zontally and are almost certain to be destroyed or pruned by the caltivator shovels. As the plant develops and has more need for food a second set of hor. zontal roots are formed larger than the others. These are the main feed roots of the plant and in loose soil they grow five to seven feet long. If the condition of the soll will permit these roots will develop at such a depth below the sar- face as to be safe from the cultivator shovels, but as they branch out intc numerous fine fibrous roots they actu- ally fill the fine cultivated soll to draw food from every particle and only s shallow cultivation will prevent injary to them. Besides the two sets of horizontal roots a8 desoribed, there are usually twc or more sets, beginning at or near the ase of the stalk as brace roots and ec straight down into the subsoil. They have traced as deep asfour feet. These verticle roots have few fiborous root: attached but serve an important end in being able to bring moisture from the deep soil late in the season, when droughts are likely to prevail. ‘As will be seen, the roots of the corn plant develop as the top grows, also an understanding of the root development suggests the method of fertilization which shouldbe through all the surface soil and not in the hill nor in the row only. the cultivation should be done soas not to interfere with the roots ‘that want to ocoupy the ground pre pared for them, yet at the same time mer here.

It may not be known to some that hens will lay without the males being with them, hence all males should be got rid of and others from elsewhere procured next spring. If it is desired to keep eggs, those from hens not with males will keep twice as long as those containing the germs of chicks. ‘The radish is a hardy plant and can be grown every month from spring un- til late in the fall. But few ehould be planted at a time as they soon become tongh if left in the ground or are al- lowed to approach maturity. To have them crisp and tender they should be grown on rich soil and forced, as the sooner they reach the table stage the better their quality. The best melons are not always the largest. Many of the varieties grown are for shipment to market, and must therefore, possess thick rinds A good melon should be very sweet and should not be stringy when sliced, nor should the rind be very thick. The best fla- vored cantaloupes are the small ones, the Jenny Lind and Netted Gem being favorites. Beets for a late supply for the table may be planted on rich soil. They will be found very desirable later in the sea- son when the early crop is gone. One or two rows will provide quite a supply. String beansshould be planted every four weeks. If they produce more than can be consumed on the table they can be packed insalt for the winter. They make excellent pickle when put up in- vinegar. p a Ripans Tabules hold their lacs as the supreme remedy which cures dyspepsia, indigestion, stomach, liver and bowel troubles, sick headache and constipa- tion.

GREENWOOD CAR TROUBLE. ‘The trouble on the Greenwood cars, last Satarday, in which three colored menfiguered is regrettable as all disturb: ‘ances are, no matter by whom; but especially is it regretable under the cir- cumstances. It is said that the three men were drank and conducted them- selves in euch a manner as to make it necessary that they be ejected from the cars. The rehearsal of the ugly details is not necessary; it would do no good, bat on the other hand weuld simply serve to put an emphasis on the notions now entertained of colored people. It is sufficient to say that the car was way- laid on its return trip for the purpose of engaging its officersin combat. They succeeded in that, and moreover suc- ceeded in shooting one man. In appealing to colored men to ob- serve the laws and the customs of com- munities, it 1s no less an appeal to all men, but we have most to do with colored men, and in appealing to them, feel that we are acting within our bounds We do not care to have oocur- rences that will in any way tend to prove that we are not fit to ride on the cars with decent people. ‘We are likely to attribute all of our troubles to prejudice, merely, when {t is heightened, if not born of just euch un- usnal demonstrations as took place on the road to Greenwood. These men were drunk, so drunk that they did not know what they were doing: thus to be exoused, but not so drunk that they did not know how to wait for hours for the return of the cars to wreak vengeance: hence not to be excused. If they had sense enongh to stay, they had sense enough to go. All eyes are on the race, and it should know it. It is true that many are prej udiced eyes, but there are those whc are willing to put aside their prejudices in the interest of fair play. This was « clear case of the breach of the conven tionalities—in disturbing fellow passen gers by unbecoming conduct, ont o which grew a crime. Let us not pu the patience of our friends to too sever atest. Boisterons, unbecoming conduc should be no more tolerated amon; colored people than white people, anc should be as emphaticatly denounces ‘by one race as the other. “THE Y. M.C. A. State Secretary Stacey of the Y. M. © A. addressed the members of the young colored men’s association last Sunday afternoon at Bethel church. His subject was tye “Relationship of the Y.M. ©. A. to the Churoh.” Be spoke of a time when the propriety of a Sunday-school in connection with the church, as we know it to-day, was ques: tioned. The establishment of a Y. M. ©. A. movement was questioned in a like manner, but subsequent events have proven the position of those who af. ficmed its necessity as in the case of the Sunday-schools. He considers the Y. M. ©. A. as providential—a providential produot of the disposition of God. The speaker agreed with thoce that the in. dividual churches could not maintain the institutional idea, could not operate the plants necessary for the well being of the young man owing to the vast ex- pense that would be entailed to the re- spective churches and the vast amount of work. The inter-denomination idea was the open sesame, the plan where the young men of the christian churches regardless of the denomination could get together and receive the accumulated aid of the Christian world about them The speaker thought the young man was not spiritually inclined as it per- tains to the religious side, and that the Y.M.©. A. was the surest, the most direct route to reach him with the view of reclamation to the church. Says the speaker, ‘Let me regulate the recrea- tions of young men and I care not who make the laws. Quoting Talmege, the speaker said, “The Y, M.C. A. is the right wing of God’s army”—the arm of the church. PENCILINGS. In Louisiana they are getting consid- erably mixed on the color business. It is said that microscopes are called into requisition in order to tell who is who and what is what. Negro blood, ’tis sald, has percolated in many of the grand old Creole families, and it re- quires eternal vigilance in keeping these sun-Kissed beauties from capturing the very citadel of society. What race more than the other is responsible for the mongrel situation? Which one more responsible? Who repines for more than day? And as Tolstoi will have it in his Kreutzer Sonata; night again is the healing balm for the wounded honor of the day, or something like that. Its mo lib1; the merry war is yet on without abatement. Man may flinch; but there stands your evidence; yon languorons sylphid, aerial plant, love's epitome, like come stradivarins with fiber enthrilled;mute in eloquent appeal. Will she too be played? thus rushing onward the line of racial demarcation to the whence a protoplasmic war must ensue for the mastery of herrich blood’s corpnscles to dictate her here or there; and when men in their desire become a babel of tongues and inderminate of choice. Or will she like Hamlet; thinkest thou to play me when thou canst not master duller instruments ‘about thee? Standing like Piasa’s Tower if unmated in all the world, the leaning signal of perverted man, deflecting monitor of the enwombed generations that will speed along from the cradle to the grave. No; methinks nor prayers, nor blinding tears, Nor the sins accumulate of the groaning years, Nor the scorning finger, jites nor jeers Willabate one jot or title the present careers. Man's baser nature routes the goal; And unerring speeds with uncontrol To thataffinity as needle compels to pole. And laves and laves his feverish sot. Until that dletant remorsing day; Sated, cloyed, joyous god the debauchee, And moral decrepitnde studs fall the way, Belated Solomons; vanitas, vanitatum, vanity! ‘WM. M. LEWIS. “Solence and Miscellany” is a little volume by Miss Lanra P. Lemon of Atlanta, Ga. The work is well named, for it is made up of choice bits of scien- tific information, religious traths and subjects along the lines of ethics, morals and economy. ‘The writer is a young lady of 22 years,a graduate of Clark University and Morris Brown College. She is the secretary of “The Voice of the People” and also of the Sixth Epis- copal District, Bishop H. M. Turner, bishop. It will be seen that Mies Lemon is well prepared to put forth the very excellent work she has given the public. It is not extravagant to say the work is beautiful in its entitety in that it shows learning, dealing with good subjects with excellent treatment It is a good example of the literature that will be acceptable as the product of the higher edneation of our people that has in mind the development of the esthetical and ethical sides along with the “stern- er” virtues. The poems contained in the volumes do not rave but breathe an air of calm devotion to the better canzes for which man was created, ‘The 6th of September is set apart as “Press Day” at the M. 8.and M. V. Exposition to be held in Chicago from August 14th to September 14th. The management of the exposition is doing @ wonderful work in getting things in shape for the great undertaking, Suc- cess is deserved; its due all great efforts. ‘The colored people should see to it that it fe well sustained. The management is an object lesson, the same is expected of the proposed exposition. ‘The death of Abraham Lincoln, tragic asit was, sad and deplorable as it was, was the fitting finale of the greatest drama enacted on earth.—William M.

B. SQUARE'S BLUSTER A well known ancient writer said that "Hell is paved with good intentions." In other, and more refined words, people in all climes, at all ages, of all races, "hundred tongues and people are ruined by putting off for to-morrow what they should do and could do to-day." We often hear people of good intentions say: "To-morrow, next week, next month, or next year" I am going to do so and so—going to reform; buy a house; save money or make some reform or advance step. In nine out of ten cases these people never do what they map out. To-morrow never comes, neither does "next week, month or year." We live in the present—to-day is the time—the only time that is truly ours. The countless number of young people (both male and female) who were going to save money "to-morrow," reform "next week," write home "next month," learn a trade or get an education "next year" would fill the pages of Mammoth Cave One of America's greatest wonders is located in Edmonson County, Kentucky, 90 miles south of Louisville.

F. PAGE, Private Box 710, MARSHALL, MICH. THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. this week's Freeman, printed in the smallest known type. *** As in youth so in manhood and womanhood the putting off what we should do to-day for to-morrow is one ruin. There is no fair thinking person who cannot see, by reviewing their past, the mistakes made, the opportunities lost by putting off for the future which could be and should have been done in the present. *** The writer is no exception to this rule, and if he can, by a few examples (or by stating a few personal facts), warn at least ten or a dozen young readers of The Freeman not to put off for "tomorrow" what they should and could do to-day he will feel rewarded for the loss of his time, ink, pen and paper. Twenty-five years ago I had an opportunity to purchase a third interest in an old worn out farm, just outside of Norfolk, Va., which was sure to be cut up into building lots in the near future. I had the money, but put it off until "next year," and my friends of that day who bought the old farm are now worth twenty thousand dollars each. *** I had an opportunity to buy out a business here in Brooklyn, three years ago, for three hundred dollars. I put it off until next week and another man bought it the next day. They say today he is worth fifteen thousand dollars. There are several other personal examples I could recite, but conclude that the above are enough to convince the thinking young mind not to put off for to-morrow what can be done to-day. Did it Ever Occur to You That if you do not save a dollar during youth, you may want for a dollar during old age? That the Negro is his worse enemy? That The Freeman is the best Negro journal published? That we have few white friends of the John Brown. Thad. Stevens, Charles Sumner, or Abe Lincoln stripe? That we must work out our destiny? That our young people spend too much for dress and put too little in the bank for a "rainy day?" That we can not pull ourselves out of the hole by our boot straps? That we are the balance of the voting power in the North and should vote in the interest of our brothers in the South? Did these facts ever occur to you? B. SQUARE. How's This!

Here she is she looks like and a bride three weeks. the commencement exercises at Prince ton, N. C., recently, was the degree of Master of Arts upon George S. Stark, a Negro, and the first of his race to receive a degree from the University. Stark is a resident of Baltimore and last month graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary. He is also a graduate of Lincoln University. On the same day at Cambridge, Mass., the annual class exercises of Harvard University were held. The class oration was delivered by Roscoe Conkling Bruce, who is the son of the late B. K. Bruce. Verily the Negro is coming. The catalogue of the State Colored Normal school, at Fayetteville, N. C., has been received. The session just ended was highly satisfactory. The school has just been given a donation of a tract of land comprising several acres and situated near the city, and on portions of the land truck farms will be cultivated. Dr. E. E. Smith, the well known educator, is at the head of this institution and his work has received the highest commendation. 000 The Negroes of this country are getting together on one proposition, and that is patronizing Negro enterprises. A minister was overheard lecturing his congregation to trade with Negro merchants, take the sewing to Negro tailors and dressmakers, etc. He said if they do this it will build up the race and by so doing give employment to the boys and girls. This is a subject of great importance to our people and it should be presented to the race from every vally and hilltop. 000 Final judgment has been rendered by the Court of Appeals at Jefferson City, Mo., whereby Wyatt Ryans, the old Negro body servant of the late Dr. Charles H. Bradford, comes into possession of $7,333. The claim of Wyatt against the estate of Dr. Bradford has been in the courts for several years. When it was begun it attracted a great deal of attention by reason of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the case. Dr. Bradford was an invalid and for years before his death required the services of a body servant. No regular wages were paid Ryan, who sued, after his employer's death, with the result just mentioned. 000 Some figures showing the part taken by colored people in the life of the city of Indianapolis have been compiled. Prominent among the buildings owned by colored lodges is the Odd Fellows' building, in Indiana avenue, a handsome four-story brick, containing the lodge room of the order; also rooms which are leased to other lodges, an amusement hall and reception rooms on the upper floor, and two store rooms on the ground floor.

Va., Special.—One year and a half ago Simpson Chapel, located on Eoff street, was $4 600 in debt and in a miserable condition. Such was the surroundings when Rev. R. A. Ryder assumed pastorial charge. The congregation was scattered and it looked like an impossibility to get them together, but the pastor saw the situation and put every man, woman and child to work to do something for redemption and a better condition. He started out by calling a gentleman's rally for the benefit of the church, then a ladies' rally and again a gentleman's rally, and out of these three rallies the indebtedness of the church has been reduced from $4 600 to a trifle less than $1,200. It can be seen what a wonderful work Rev. Ryder has done in a small town and with a small congregation. Under the Lime Light. Hot Springs, Ark., Special. — The grand lodge of the Eastern Star was in session here all of last week. It was very largely attended by distinguished ladies and gentlemen from all over the state.

Refreshments were liberally served, which was followed by a merry time in sending off various kinds of fireworks. When the pastor speaks of "Conference claims" he has special reference to the "dollar money." If you can do so, let him have the "dollar money" when he calls; it will not harm you to help make his burden light in every righteous sense. "He is a minister to thee for good."
