She is the teacher of thousands, a manager of the largest musical enterprises known to the country, and the most distinguished teacher of thousands, a manager of the largest musical enterprises known to every section of the land. Miss James, who made her initial appearance here, is a contributor to the musical institution with enviable gifts. Though only nineteen, she has won a place in the National Music Hall of Fame and has a great future before her. At the John Wesley recital both artists achieved distinct triumphs and added hints to their already rightly-brown Rarely has cosmopolitan Washington gathered into an assembly hall an audience in the social, cultural and cultured taste as that which packed this spacious edifice Wednesday evening. The crowd ran and sleet alternating far into the night, but the crowd came just the same, and was amply spared for women. The crowd had two stellar artists of the race have two stellar artists of the race been greeted with such spontaneous enthusiasm and seldom, if ever, has the crowd embraced so much that inspired, thrilled and satisfied the musical cravings of every soul within the sound. On the admirably-balanced bill were selections that ran the gamut of the musical realm, ranging from the grandest ballads of the heart and not forgetting the "folk-songs" that always stir the tenderest memories of a people that who realize they have done so through the severest of struggles and through an abiding faith in the Divinity to have gone in praise and pleading. A Real Queen of Song. Mme. Hackley, handsomely gowned and smiling radiantly, never appeared to better advantage. Her silvery voice seems to grow louder with age, and her personal charms are more fascinating than ever. She seems to know everybody and everything, so approachable is she to the masses as well as to the classes, the press, the people, the friends, the clarity of expression and full knowledge of her subject, reducing the technical to the understandable, and tender the lecture feature of her recitals a fountain of joy and a well-rubbed variable tone. She isibly a song of Song. For fifteen years this remarkable woman full of race pride and love of song recitals and demonstrations of the possibilities in voice culture throughout the United States. She has also taught much time in London, Paris and Berlin. She has given instruction to colored children in the piano and the band and West and thousands of ambitious youths, with a latent genius for music and help influence. This influence has been exerted not only in inculcating an appreciation of the classics, for which she has not permitted the race to overlook—but look down upon—the cherished song-song types. Nerse's period of development and which she has idealized to such an extent that they now rank among the American formers of music, providing scholarships in institutions abroad for ambitious young colored and those she has chosen for this purpose, and providing national fame through the rich opportunity affer-ence. She has reached the teaching-community. She regards the one of the greatest jobs of her career. Miss Lee Faces a Brilliant Future. Miss Pauline James Lee "came, saw, and met the theatre world through the aweful mouth of Mme. Hackley, and divided the honors of the evening with her famous preceptress. Her contralto and her theatrical house held the limbs of her wonderful vocal powers. In the solos she won salvos of apache and in her theatrical house she held Hackley her wounded voice blended charmingly with the fair diva's bird-like soprano. Miss Lee is the Madame's assistant at the Hackley Vocals Normal School, her diplomas from four standard schools of music—notably the American Conservatory, Music, Chicago, beehive, her honors with the indies and indies supreme level-headedness. The country will hear much of Miss Lee in the new few years. The Varsed Program in Detail. In concert with the varied program referred to, Mme.

Some of the original songs were given, supplemented by many others therein the vast repressor of the 1960s. The except from "Stabat Mater," the folk songs and appropriate sacred selections made a program of exceptional merit. Miss Lee was entrusted with arriving two fine solos on the grand organ. Mammoth "Bock-Song Festival" Is Planned for the 20th After a visit to Trenton and to the Bordenton Industrial School in New Jersey, plans have been made to have to leave the school and train a chorus of 200 or more voices for a mammoth "Folk Song Festival"; on the order of those given at the Metropolitan School in Angeles, Cal. This affair will be under the direct auspices of the Bethel Literary Association, which Miss Marie A. D., Madre is president, and will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. Mme. Hackley is president, and the 16th, to supervise the rehearsals. "Lincoln Night" at Bethel Literary. "Lincoln Night" was "Lincoln Night" at the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. A crowded house turned out to participate in the exercise, the Mare's wife and introduced the speakers in her usual gracious manner and felicity of utterance, paying a fine tribute to the life of Lincoln. The principal orator of the occasion was Prof. William Pickens, dean of Morgan College, Baltimore. The principal orator of the occasion is said to have been the most eloquent and comprehensive of the many public deliverances he has been in this secession. He is the man he met of him and his splendid effort in our next. Other addresses in eulogy of the martyred Lincoln were delivered in Louisville, and Rev. L. N. Ross, of Baltimore, a former pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church in the great greetings he was told. The musical embraced selections by the glee clubs of M. Street and Armstrong called to M.

She recieves in tenure of office, and is now serving her fifth and most successful year as president. Warm Flight on for Delegates to Chicago Convention.

She and largely has the Madame given until we had begun to look upon her gifts as a matter of course, and her poor and institutions are no longer cheered, inspired and helped by her generosity, and then will we fully appreciate what she was to Indianapolis. There is another distinct characteristic of this remark: that she is one of which too much can not be said, that is the fact, that Madame Walker was and is in every sense of the word a great benefactor, and that when she was having modern flats arrected in Indianapolis, for colored tenants, or nearly a lot, she car- A.

What is why she apparently preferred colored workmen, the Madame replied: "My business is largely sup- pended by my people, so why shouldn't I spend my people, so that I will go back into colored homes" and then she slowly and thoughtfully added, they giving my work to colored men, and if not directly, indirectly I am creating more jobs for our boys and girls." I met the regret of losing Madame Walker as a citizen by the splendidly attested by the many dinners, banquets and entertainments giver her her award in her honor. The Y. C. A. M. in her honor. The Y. C. A. M. and the citizens in general seem to vie with each other in their expression of high esteem and regret that the presented her a set of embossed resolutions signed by the committee of management, membership and prominent members of the board, and a decision to leave the city and state. The temptation is strong to review the many kindly acts of this good woman who has served her country but space will not permit. Her last act before leaving Indianapolis is a mighty fine index to her history here. I make sure she will be sufficient to clear the Alpha.

WALKER. soon forget her kind hand. There may be those who will say we over state the case, but such do not know that Madame Walker oftentimes furnished homes and provided counsel for those unable to do so, taking care of families of convicts, and giving paroled convicts a start in life. Of course, there are those who will question the truth of these things, but these unfortunate ones know and knowing they wrote, telephone called at the home and bade her a sad good-ly. In this connection it will be fitting to speak of Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, located at 840 New Wesley Street, which there will be no change, the main office will continue to be at that location, and the general oversight through her New York office, a factory in every sense of the word, equipped with every appliance and equipment, to trade. An experienced and competent forelander over the factory who has under her charge a force of helpers will be able to stenographers and a shipping clerk; also, a forelander over the hair parlorers. Madame has nothing but praise for her work, and it is not for her valuable factory and office force she could not think of making her residence in New York. Madame has nothing but praise for her heating plant to the heads of the different departments every employee of Madame Walker's receives a good salary. You will be able to you want efficiency you must put it. A more modern and better office will be available for you in Indianapolis, than the office question. But aside from her place and 1890 position as a business woman, a citizen, her place in the commercial life of the city, her factress and employer of labor, aside from all of this, Madame C. J. Walker, her olivis, her beautiful home being a social center, to be invited to her home, and her entertainment to a pleasant and home and home never cease to appreciate. On the night of her leaving there was gathered in her lovely home the family, the intimate friends, there to wish her well and say good-bye, those who knew her best, who understood those who really great woman she is, those who knew of her many splendid acts, and the unselfish nature back of such acts, and more light, more conversant was more or less light, more conversant was by like a shadow on the heart, in every voice there was a ring of sorrow, a ring of sadness, of such splendid qualities, business tact, sterling character and loving heart. Indianapolis loses to New York. Three cheers for New York. Not long since, it will be remembered, the Madam after an extended tour of the United States her journey by way of a travelogue which had the distinction of being the most unique entertainment ever seen city, or in this country, by our race.

Dr. Ward, who was master of ceremonies, said that six years ago she was not worth a quarter of a million. She is a worthy friend for those who know if she worth twenty-five dollars she is worth a quarter of a million.

BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, FEB. 12, 1916. The Haitians must grin and bear it It is the making of 'em. Our contemporaries don't say much about Louis D. Brandeis. Don't they like the brand? Some colored candidates for the legislature of Indiana is prospective for the coming campaign. Judge Robert Ferrell, of Washington, D. C., the only Negro judge in the country, is expected in this city February 20, when he will appear at Tomlinson hall, the occasion being a Lincoln-Douglas celebration. After all of the notes between Germany and this country about the Lusitania it simmered down to the only reasonable thing possible in the first place. Germany agrees to pay. It could not do less, and be honorable. "The Bee," of Washington, D. C., speaking editorially concerning the possibility of a colored man being confirmed for the position of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia in event the President made the appointment, said that it had made a canvass of the Senate and it finds that every Northern Democratic senator, including every Republican, will vote for the confirmation of any good and competent colored man, Democrat or Republican. The President can take it from The Bee that Senator Chilton, of West Virginia, who has always stood by the colored voters, although a Democrat, will lead the fight for confirmation. That sounds mighty good. But it will be remembrated that it was "The Bee" that it out that the Bishop Walter's inter view with the President was different to what it was reported. It maintained that Mr. Wilson was in a favorable attitude. Bishop Walter's disclosure set at rest all doubt about what happened. It may be that the editor of "The Bee" is better advised He has said very much to be without authority. We hope that it is not a habit. Whatever be the disposition of the national convention it can truthfully be said that Mr. Fairbanks is without a weak spot for successful assault. Chicago was one of Dr. Booker T. Washington's favorite cities, judging from his many visits there and the kindly reception which was always given him. The Chicagoans greatly appreciated him, and to demonstrate their love for him they will purchase a building and equip it for an industrial and social center for colored youths and colored citizens generally of that city. According to plans the building will cost $85,000, which means that it will be amply large and convenient for e undertaking. It will be named a Booker T. Washington memorial. Both colored and white people it is said, are interested in such a testimonial to Dr. Washington in their midst. Nothing could be more serviceable and at the same time so fittingly representative of him. Such men as John D. Shoop superintendent of schools; John J. Arnold, vice-president of the First National bank; Jesse Bings, banker; Edward O. Brown; Henry Stucyart county treasurer; David C. Dunbar; Edward P. Smith; Dr. Max Herschleder, president of the board of trustees of the Linein-Lee Institute, are interested in the movement. THE BAPTISTS' CONTROVERSY. The National Baptist convention controversy has started a bit of speculation as to the outcome of the mis understanding. So far, the Jones faction has won, having been sustained in its position by a decree of a Chicago court. The fight seems to center about the flourishing publishing house of which Rev. Dr. Boyd is the head and front, and of which he has made a distinguished success. Just what the difficulty is is not easy for an outsider to understand and perhaps the matter does not come before an outsider, but that as it may. The greater church naturally attracts attention whether concerning success or adversity. The question arises how it is possible for an organization that is so loosely combined executively to have close control of properties as an organization. Perhaps this is the kernel of the con- troversy, meaning that church will have to figure out in the future some method of closer organization so that property can be legally held in common. Jonathan Cover, in a recent issue of "The Colorado Statesman," comparing the numerical strength of the two leading denominations among colored people, said: "Among many persons usually well informed, the opinion is held that the great Methodist church, embracing the branches of the church, is the most religious of the Colored Methodist Episcopal, are considerably ahead of their Baptist brethren in those essentials which, in a material way embody theological elements of prophecy of religious bodies as they do those institutions which are cast in a distinctly secular mold and whose activities are shaped and directed only toward the material elements of prophecy. As a matter of fact the figures of the census carry exactly the opposite information and in the matter of visions of the Baptist bodies under the general appellation of the National Baptist Convention, are shown to be an institution of much larger girth and financial wealth." "In the matter of membership the Baptist bodies are credited with a total valuation of $24,487.72. The A. M. E. 172,996, a total of $52,315, which is but slightly more than a third of the former's membership. The total valuation of church property the Baptists are credited with a total valuation of $24,487.72. The A. M. E. 172,996, a total of $52,315, which is but slightly more than a third of the former." The Baptist, seemingly, are wedded to their idol, and in spite of their great numerical strength are seriously hampered because among them there is no certain directing executive influence. The National Baptist convention, on only semblance of the government of the very recent origin, having been brought about by the efforts of Rev. Dr. William J. Simmons, author of the "Men of Mark." In a brief biography of Dr. Simmons by Bishop Henry M. Turner, is the following: "Being impressed with the idea that "being Baptists were not doing what they should for the support and influence of their peculiar views, he suggested, through the "American Baptist," April 5, 1886, that a convention be held. This suggestion was heartily endorsed by Baptists throughout the United States. He issued the call at their suggestion, and the result was the organization of the American National Baptist Convention, which met, August 25, 1886, in St. Louis, Mo., and of which he was unanimously elected president and chairman of the executive committee." Thus it is seen that the present-day efficiency of the Baptist church as a whole is due to the initiative of Dr. Simmons. The evolution, as it were, began with him and ended with him. Perhaps it has advanced as far as practicable and at the same time hold with its tenets of individual sovereignty the thing so dear to the Baptists. However, it strikes one that one more step in the right direction will make for a further efficiency which we dare say would cause the general efficiency to square with the great numerical strength. It appears now fragmentary, weak as a unit, and we have been able to best methodical work. The good work of the church is not doubted, but how much more could be done in many ways if there was a head that was more than a figure. The smaller Methodist churches, either one of them, make as much stir in the world as the great Baptist church, which stands as an elephant, today, as it concerns others of the animal creation. It is more formidable, stronger, yet more supine until driven to a tzeny when it shows its masterful force. What will it do about it?" CIVIL ADVANCEMENT. The daily Tribune, of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, a white publication, has come out flat footed against the segregation movement now on in St. Louis. In a recent issue it said, among other things: Agitators in St. Louis are making an effort to segregate the colored population of that city. A committee, composed of some of the most influential men in the city, have announced that the will oppose segregation. A proposal to isolate the negro would have created little surprise because the provail in the enlightened era of today. It is unjust movements of this character that keep race hatred afame. They do not bother the whites nor the blacks yet. The negro is a part of the United States. He has shouldered his rife at the call of his country, and he will do whatever he can to prevent this persecuted race, there are good as well as bad. The bad are, and should be, punished, but those who strive to make good citizens, should not be con- The segregation movement in St. Louis will, and should, of course, fail. The segregation movement requires years to erase. If the whites were to lend a helping hand, instead of to persistently abuse and offend the blacks who violate laws would rapidly decrease. If we succeed in getting the white people interested in keeping our citizenship at par we will be in the right attitude, because it will follow that it will not be at too great a discount at any time. It's the tendency that's expected in causes like ours. Citizenship at par is scarcely the expected, yet we would be undeserving if we contended for less. But it is necessary to deal in facts, rock bottom truths. The fact in the case of our citizenship is that, as it concerns the whole people, our race is nothing ever greater than blackness and negroes. It is useless to talk about making satisfactory headway by our our initiative entirely—the cards are stacked against us, and will continue stacked unless by some means we make inroads on the consciences and consciousness of the surrounding controlling factors. And our race in this respect is not different to others of this day and of other days, and who use and have used similar methods of squaring conditions with that known to the best civilization. The world has ever been divided in some part into two great camps, the grantor and the grantee, the petitioner and the petitioned as anomalous as it appears to men who take great care of the theory that we created free happiness. Happily this condition is passing, remaining, however, most stubbornly with a few peoples, among whom are the American Negroes. We do not wish to make the impression that we are not a happy, successful and a reasonably contented people. We are all of those things; not because we are at a parity with those about us, but because we have been so low down in the social scale that any ascendancy has been an improvement, hence a victory. And we must admit that we have not been altogether by our own efforts. We have had good faithful white allies, more faithful and better often than we think. But we have no right to pause or hesitate in the ascendancy, and nothing should be interposed, at least, that obstructs a fundamental principle. God, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the conscience of men declare for some reason that they are to be uprooted by the whims of men, defeating other men of the great common good. Ice Strikers' band still keeps every one in applauding the ball games. It is the "playingest" ten piece band what am. Pierce, the new catcher on the Poincaré team, and Forbes, the new shortstop, are both playing great ball. Both have splendid reputations and so far have splendid reputations and so far have zeal of all citizens. race in our beloved countr to serve the colors in co am and is needed to insure for am. For me to prove to me that it shows of the national governm and intensity the warm rauter than discourage a love and zeal of all citiz Many things we forego, and which are generally enjoyed, but they are not fundamental. To be defeated in these is chagring enough, but we are able to compensate ourselves for this loss. The theaters, hotels, restaurants, saloons and other places are prohibitive as it concerns our people, but this is not a calamity. It is really helpful in a way even if at the expense of manhood. Stooping to conquer is no mean assertion in the instance. We mean that the race profits by these restrictions in a money way. The great signs of Negro wealth point right from amid this condition. But in the larger phases of civil life that has property purchasing, defence sufficiency the signs of self government; the right to take an administering part in that government and others yet of a similar nature cannot be denied if civil life is to remain. Things do not stand still—nature not institutions. If the coils of civil restriction are not lessening then they are tightening. It is not best for free America to include a Poland in its midst. Russia might thrive with the dead member, not so America, where serfdom would become an institution, being at once contagious and giving the lie to our world-wide advertisement as the home of the free and the brave. Moral ruction and ruin in a short while stagnate the splendid growth, leaving an inviting prey to predatory governments. Small minded white men are busy trying to poison the general conscience against the Negroes, going to great lengths to gratify their hate, not knowing the possible bitter consequence at some near or far-away day. There are people who are intelligent and far-seeing enough to build against the storm of the hundreds of years distance, and in the interest of conserving the country to its advertised intents. We have relied on these for co-operation against the invasions that promised to reduce to civil "nudity." We still rely on them as faithful allies to drive back the foe that threatens to usurp ever privilege thus consciously or unconsciously reducing the race to self conditions if not to civil vassalage. PALM BEACH NOTES. PALM BEACH, Feb. 6.—After his defeat at the opening game by a slip of bad luck, the mighty Donaldson, pitching, came back at Friday's game, but again met defeat by bad fielding on the part of C. I. T. Taylor's A. B. C. team. Donaldson, with the respect of every batter on the Breaker's team from the slugging Poles on down. He has caused them all to throw their bats to the ground in disgust. But why can't he win his games? That's what every one wants to know. He pitches well, but B. C. team won his game with a walk away. The team hit and fielded behind him. Jeffries is a splendid pitcher, well pitched as either one of the other three that Donaldson pitched and lost. But I guess we will have to take the op- Every game that Donaldson pitched has been by bone headed errors apparently caused by over anxiousness and running also spoiled several chances for Poincena to score. The Breakers spoil Donaldson's reputation as a pitcher, but so far have been unable to solve his delivery. He has held them at his knees. The Breakers have allowed him to be cheated out of the game. But his hit strike out record and low percentage of hits stamps him on the board. It is to be hoped Taylor's men will always show the form he has at the plate, but he has baked all three of the Breaker's team's pitchers to all corners of the field with a final score of 12 to 4 in favor of the Polin- January 28: Poienciana— AB, R, H, PO, A, E Hourail— 3 1 1 0 1 Dunbar 4 1 2 1 0 Allen 3 0 1 3 1 2 B.

The more people hailed this letter, in Chicago, the gleam of satisfaction as a reactionary. That the waning end of the Democratic administration is the weaker end of the Republican cause and the coming campaign, and it is needless to say that Bishop Walters has not only won the Republican cause, but the respect of his own race as well. There is one passage in Bishop Walters' letter that follows: "When every man of evers race in our beloved country is expected to serve the colors in case of a crisis at home. We are dedicated for our national defense. It does appear to me that it should be the aim of our leaders to defend our nation and intensify the warmest patriots rather than discourage and repress the love and zeal of all citizens." **Have a Heart.** *(To President Wilson.)* President of the nation Have a heart like brains man, Toward the lowly of creation, Serving to the greater end.

The Whittier Stars and their company of seven opened a two weeks' engagement at the Booker Washington theater in St. Louis Monday. February 11, 2014, a packed house welcomed them on the opening night; in fact, the demonstration was extraordinary for a Booker T. Washington dance, as every number on the program was enceased, as every number spend to one, two, and three encores.

Mme E. Azalia Hackley's folk-song festival on the 29th will be an event of note in our musical circles. R. Augustus Lawson, pianist, drew a well-filled house at the Howard theatre last Saturday at 6:30 p.m. M. Emily Coles, the guitarist, demonstrates dance, the Entertainments were sponsors for the entertainment. Burns and Burns are a clever team. They seem to have no end of acts and never repeat themselves in a town. They set a glowing example for others standing as "bigger fuss about their standing as box-office attractions." The performers smile broadly when they entertain the audience is to put on the cream at the Olive Garden pla dephilia, and that the New Carey in Baltimore is to use a number of acts each week in connection with the pictures. Tim Owsley, an expert manager himself, observes of things about a theatre that he has never overlooked. He is a stickler for cleanliness and faultless accessories, he pumps up "out front," and for the performer back stage and in the dressing rooms. The Manchurians, at the Howard last week, were the most wonderful gymnasts, with neck of the hand, that side for the head by the hair of the head, was a sure-enough "thriller." Manager Thomas is giving the people their money's worth in novelty, comedy and music. Everybody is glad to see Lester A. W. Wiley, seen and at the Lafayette Theater, New York, knows the business and he has a heart for his fellow-man. Morganstern was there. There would have been no "Billy King" to Walton been in town at the time of that fateful blunder. The usual Monday night crowd turned out at the Howard to see Ragina, the mysterious magician; Sandil, the comicalities; the Gregory Troup, acrobatics and The Kemps, a neat sketch team. Manager Thomas is "turning 'em away" at the Sunday 5:30 "supper show," when the Fox teacup films are presented. Washington managers continue to give "The Birth of a Nation" a wide audience, "The Telegraph" a pride of Race" as danger to the peace and order of this community. Uncle Tom's Cabin" passed through the city, giving on such farcical lines that no one would consider it seriously as a dramatic production. . . .

Report has it that Rube Foster, manager of the Chicago Giants, is representing the team whose object is to buy up Pele's parks in St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Chicago. If Foster is successful in his quest, the black jersey will have a good-sized major league of its own this year that will compare in importance with the American and National leagues. Nero fans have patronized baseball in the big leagues. Foster has been playing for years to take his team of the inter-city class and make it a league affair. Foster already controls a ball park in Los Angeles and this will be added the three parks sought to make a four-club circuit. As the parks will be valued less to the outlaw team, now that the baseball war is at an end, it is anticipated here that Foster will be successful. Foster's team won the championship of the California winter league. He is now in Havana, Cuba, having fit up the team. Curtis Jackson will play in the Cuban National league. Following is a sample of the newspaper treatment the Giants got when in California in 2004. The game was seen by the Giants and Federal Stars. Again the Chicago American Giants handed the Federal Stars a severe blow in the second game she yesterday was 6 to 3. They played the Fed Stars on their feet and sewed the ground up before they handed on one pitcher, Fitchner of the Stars, for a quartet of tallies. With the score standing 2 to 1 in their favor, the lads from Chicago came to bat and chased four tallies across before the onrush could be halted. Clarkson, the tiny receiver of the colored nine, started the firewheel by slamming two tallies into both肩 and bounding over Rawlings' head. Williams doubled to right head and Clarkson came across with the first tally. Fitchner soaked Barbor in the rills. The terrible Mr. Hill, the big sweatsman of the Giants, strolled to bat and pooled out a long two-ply swat to center, scoring Williams and putting Fed Tightens Up. Here the Fed heaver tightened up and whiffed Duncan, but Lloyd drove one down the first line in for one of the two Hall Tailers. Schneider was chasing the pill. That ended the run getting for the colored babies. We want to say a few words concerning one Mr. Gans—he claims that he's no relative of the famous fighter—who cavalry armor in center field played by the "Ty Cobb" of the colored ball players. This boy can chase flies as good as any major leaguer who ever played. Whenever the Feds started a rally and got a couple of men on bases some one would call them men to the ball. He was everywhere in the outfield. In the second frame he started pulling off a sensational catches. Pete Schneider smashed a long drive to center that looked good for a homer, but Gans snared the ball in one hand and he made some other great catches. Game Hard-Fought. The game was closer than the score shows. Williams allowed five hits and but seven were gathered off Fitchner's hits at the right time by the colored nine were the cause of the Feds' defeat. Whenever a bussit meant a run, a sack or a double play, Williams buried nice ball for the Giants. He was steady in the pinches. He made the Fed swatmen hit bad ones, which resulted in easy grounders to the infield. The Michner served up a good assortment, but had one bad injunction—the fifth. Michner grabbed the lead in the pinches on four wide ones and went to second, when Williams bobbed 'Rawlings' sacrifice putting men on first and second. Mohler scored on two infield nines. The Giants came right back in their half of the second and put over a pair of sacks. Buchman came through by passing Lloyd. McAdoo singled to center and Gans was walked, loaded the sacks. Buchman came through by passing Lloyd. McAdoo scored. Here the Fed heavier tightened up and fanned the next two men. Barber ended the frame with a Everything was quiet until the Giants scored their four in the fifth.

"Why Jesus Man and Not a Woman, three hundred pages," over one hundred and seventy- pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the el- line between the physical and spiritual life. It is a case of slickness and insanity are within sex, and that sex-lust was the origi- nial attack on the victim of death, an argenting the attack on the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological people of all classes as no other books can do more to shape the thoughts of human race than any books ever written. Human race is daily going to the great think- ers all parts of the civilized world. I would rather be the author of the True App, than to be the President of the States. His sex interpretation of the doctrine herein contained is intriguing that the human intel- lectuals it is the world presented in kids' books on the Bible and his introduction of the Bible will live until perish and Empires may decay, but these presented by the author in the True App of the Bible will never die." Prof. J. Sibley Tap's works on the Bible will be so empty our jails, insane institutions, that has ever been given to the man of opinion, to say nothing of the greatness of the people that they will do the ruman race.
