Prominent Negro Educator Arrives in Des Moines to Talk on Race Question. "President Taft's appearance at Howard university last week, where he delivered the diplomas to the graduates, was greatly appreciated by the university faculty and by colored people all over the country," said Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of arts and sciences at university and professor of higher mathematics, upon his arrival in Des Moines last night. Professor Miller is well known all over the United States as a Negro educator. For nineteen years he has held the chair of higher mathematics at Howard university, which is one of the most prestigious universities for some years past he has also been dean of arts and sciences. His defense of his race against such men as Rev. Thomas Dixon has brought him into the front rank with Booker T. Washington and others who are giving their lives to the work of educating the colored race. Professor Miller was the admirer of Colonel Roosevelt, and he declared last night that when the former president returns to America he will stir the American continent from shore to shore. His regard has survived the Brownville affair, and he has also a high regard with Roosevelt. Taft was attained at Howard university at the commencement examenles last week and this act did muth to heal the wound made by the Brownville incident. Will Call on Governor. Prominent Afro-Americans in Des Moines met professor Miller at Des Moines and he will be escorted the city today by a delegation headed by George H. Woodson and J. B. Rush. Mr. Woodson is an alumnus of Howard and a former student under Professor Miller. They will visit Drake university and Des Moines college and will also attend the state officials at the capitol during the day. Professor Miller believes, as he says in his book, "Race Adjustment," that education will go far to solve the race question in America. "Education never made anyone a criminologist," he said. "It never made an acceptance that brings about crime, no matter what may be the man's color. I have never known of a case where education brought on crime or could be charged with it." He declares that statistics are all against the contention that education among the Negroes increases the likelihood of Howard university, he said. "I do not know of one who has been convicted of any crime of any nature, and we keep pretty close to our alumni, too. School Has 1,200 Students. "Howard university now has about 1,200 students, four-fifths of whom are men and 600 graduates of the University of Iowa and physicians, 500 lawyers, 400 ministers, and the remainder are graduates of the collegiate department. We have a great many students from the West Indies, and James Bryce, the British ambassador to Washington, takes a great interest in the university. Recently, Andrew Carnegie gave the university $50,000 and congress officers $10,000 each, in addition to this latter sum, congress has also given the university $73,000 this year for maintenance. "The president of Howard is W. P. Thirkield, who comes from Gammon Theological school and has had large experience in the southern field." Professor Miller has been on a tour of the western states during last summer and said last night that his observations of the condition of his race have been most encouraging. this afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. W. Fields, on twelfth street. Professor Miller will be the guest of honor at a dinner at which covers the following: R. H. Porter, Rev. George W. Gaines, R. S. Bates, Rev. D. Woodford, attorneys J. B. Rush, S. Joe Brown, George H. Woodson and John L. Thompson, Dr. A. J. Booker, H. W. Williams and H. H. humbard. His address at the A. M. E. church last night was one of the finest ever heard in our city. For more than one hour he held the large audience spellbound by his wit, wisdom and eloquence and faultless diction. Attorney Woodson presided and introduced Professor Miller in very flattering terms. Hon. Harvey Ingham, editor of the Register and Leader, made a short address. We wish to enroll your name on our subscription list. A Keokuk Girl in the Limelight For the first time in the history of the Keokuk High School, a colored student has won the Kilbourne prize, amounting to forty dollars in gold. Miss Mabel Bland, a graduate of the class of '09 and the daughter of John W. Bland, carried off the Kilbourne prize at the commencement exercises of the Keokuk High School held in the Grand Opera House last Thursday night and brought honor to herself, to her father and to the entire colored citizenship of this city. This is a thing that has never occurred before and Miss Bland has made a place in history for herself and race in which the whole state and nation can rejoice. The daily papers have showered praises on this young lady, and the colored and white people are congratulating her on all sides, yet through all this she is the same Mabel Bland. All the high honors she has received have brought to light her splendid record and the achievement of a well trained mind. Moreover this is not all, through the efforts of Congressman Ber. y of the state of Illinois Miss Bland is to receive a scholarship in the great school of Booker T. Washington in Tuskegee, Ala., and this means that Miss Bland may choose any course she may elect and have all expenses paid for the entire course including railroad transportation. This honor came to her because of her fine record and high standing in the High School for the full four year course. All Keokuk bows to Miss Mabel Bland and may she achieve greater victories in her new field of labor. HAPPENINGS AROUND CLINTON. Misa Maud Beason arrived home last week, from her school duties as teacher in the school at Buxton, to remain through the summer vacation.

Young Cadets' Great Triumph. Company E. Armstrong Manual Training School, Won the Fifteenth Annual Competitive Drill Over High School Cadets Amid Exciting Scenes. Company E of the Armstrong Manual Training school won the fifteenth annual competitive drill of the companies composing the separate battalion of high school cadets on the American league park grounds at Washington the other day. The triumph of Company E over the former companies in the competitive drill was unexpected and was accompanied by several notable features. In the first place, it was the first time that a Company E has ever competed in the annual drill of the colored cadets, there being in former years only Companies A, B, C and D. Company E, too, was composed of green recruits, its private being boys who entered the high school from the graded schools only last February and who has been enrolled for a month. It competed against companies of older boys, including privates who have been studying military tactics for at least a year. By the winning of the Armstrong Manual Training school company also honors have been equally divided between that school and the M Street high school. In the seven previous years that these schools have been pitied against each other in the annual drill the M Street cadets won four times and the Armstrong soldiers only three times. There are now four victories to the credit of each school. By a remarkable coincidence Company took off the honors this year in the competitive drill he between the white cadets and between the colored cadets. Last week Company E of the business high school was pronounced to have put up the best drill of all the twelve companies from the white high and manual training schools. The girls from the two rival schools turned out to cheer the boys in blue in large numbers, and brothers and sisters and parents were there in plenty. In the boxes around the front of the grand stand seats were many persons of prominence, including members of congress, leading District officials and school authorities. On the north side sat the friends of the M Street high school underneath huge banners of the school colors -red and blue. On the south side of the field were the supporters of the Armstrong school, a thousand strong and as well equipped with banners of yellow and blue as were their opponents with red and black. Company C of the Armstrong was the first to appear on the parade field, and as the right guide marched from behind the grand stand in the extreme northeast corner of the field a shout that shook the rafters in the grand stand went up from the Armstrong side of the field. The company soon presented arms before the board of judges, its captain had received his orders, and the movements were being executed with marked precision that led many in the stands to remark that the leading company had set a high standard. Captain Alonzo Burwell was in command. As Company C marched away from the judges the first squad of Company E, later to be pronounced the best drilled company on the field, became visible behind the far grand stand. The boys in blue were noticeably smaller than those of the first company, and adherents of the Armstrong hastened to explain that this was the baby company of the battalion and composed of recent recruits. But it soon became evident that the company needed no apologies. Despite their small size the private marches with the company were commanded in regulars, and there was a noticeable steadiness. the ranks as one after the other of the movements were executed to the commands of Captain Alruthheas Taylor. The third and last of the Armstrong companies followed, it being Company D. After one or two movements had been carried out the crowd in the grand stands soon realized that the high standard set by the first two companies was to be maintained by the third, and, while the movements were not carried out as expeditiously as by the two previous competitors, it was noticed that it was to be seriously considered for first honors. Captain Ernest Hardy was in command. When Company B appeared on the field the two supporters of the M Street high school to cheer, for that was the first company from that institution to compete. And the thunder that went up from the north side grand stand indicated an abundance of school loyalty. Captain H. Gray was in command. Company A followed, bearing, on to the parade ground the much eveted championship drill flag which it won last year. When it lined up before the judges Flost Sergeant Jones relied on the crowd to greet and yet hope that he might march off with it. Captain Burnette Robinson was in command. The judges were Lieutenant Benjamin O. Davies, U. S. A.; Lieutenant James E. Walker, D. C. N. G., and Lieutenant Thomas O. Jones, D. C. N. G. was the first time in many years that a player posed entirely of colored officers, and its chairman, Lieutenant Davis, was formerly a student in the local schools and a graduate from the M Street high school. Finally the judges emerged from the covered stand to which they had retired and announced that they were ready to designate the winning company. Adjutant Dent marched to Lieutenant Davis and received an order to bring forward one of the companies. Adjutant Dent walked straight for the middle of the battalion. As he quickly turned to the south front of the battalion the supporters of the Armstrong school realized that one of its companies was the victor, and a mighty shout went up. Captain Taylor quickly gave the command to his troops to march forward to receive the rewards of victory, and their steps were cheered to the echo. Hailing before the party of judges and officials in front of the grand stand, Captain Taylor stepped forward and joined the crowd. The stoner Macfurland, president of the District board, the white championship pennant. In the party which presented the tokens of victory were Representative S. W. Smith, chairman of the house District committee; Representative Washington Gardiner of Michigan, chairman of the District subcommittee on appropriations in the house; Commissioner president; William V. Cox, vice president; Dr. B. W. Evermann, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, R. R. Horner of the board of education; Dr. W. V. Tunnel; A. St. Taurt, superintendent of schools; Roscoe Conkling Brick, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools; Percy M. Hughes, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools; Bruce Evans, principal of the winning Armstrong manual training school; W. S. Jackson, principal of the M Street high school; Judge William H. DeLacy of the juvenile court; Harry O. Hine, secretary of the board of education, and others. UNION AMERICAN M. E.

Ninety-four young men and women received degrees at the recent commencement exercises of Howard university, which were held in Andrew Rankin chapel, on the university campus, at Washington. There were twenty-one students who received the degree of bachelor of arts, twenty-three doctor of medicine, eighteen doctor of dental surgery, twelve doctor of pharmacy, eighteen bachelor of law, one bachelor of theology and one bachelor of pedagogy. The commencement exercises covered a period of nine days. President exercises cover days. President Taft was the speaker on commencement day proper. M. Howard university was founded in 1867, and the recent commencement was the fifteenth in its history. Receiving, as it does, large appropriations from the United States, it occupies on that account an advantageous position in that it is more able to measure up to the requirements of a real university than any college for Afro-Americans PROFESSOR KELLY city than any other college for MILLER. Afro-Americans in the world. Being able to pay his professors good salaries, the university has a faculty noted for proficiency in scholarship. Two of the deans are Afro-Americans. They are Professor Kelly Miller, who is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Professor Lewis B. Moore, dean of the Teachers' college. Professor Miller has a national reputation both as an educator and as a writer. He ranks first among Afro-American mathematicians, having specialized in the celebrated Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore. Since his elevation to the deanship the College of Arts and Sciences has been making more progress than ever before. Professor Miller is in great demand as a lecturer. He left commencement night to fill speaking engagements that will take him as far west as Denver. He will deliver commencement addresses to several institutions, will speak before yeuces, literary societies, churches, etc. Dean Lewis B. Moore of the Teachers' college is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has done postgraduate work in Germany. It is as a psychologist that he is most widely known. His department is sending out a high class of well equipped teachers, who, as a rule, make great success in their professions. The alumni meeting and banquet were leading features of commence- ment day, it can be safely said that no school in the country has a graduate body composed of so many successful men as Howard university, judges, doctors, ministers, druggists, business men and men from nearly all of the gainful walks of life were present to pay homage to their alma mater. PROFESSOR LEWIS B. MOORE. The cornerstone The cornerstone of the Carnegie library was laid commencement day by President Taft. The Science building, which will cost $90,000, will soon be in the course of erection, and the alumni have pledged a $10,000 gymsmium. President Thirkeld has secured larger appropriations for the university than any of his predecessors. His usefulness to the institution cannot be overestimated. From the present outlook it seems that his administration will see the building up of a "greater Yoward university." In Memory of Lewis R. Bryant. The memorial meeting which was recently held for the late Lewis R. Bryant under the auspices of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina at the First A. M. E. Zion church, Brooklyn, was a representative gathering and showed the high esteem in which the deceased was held by the society of which he was a member and a faithful officer for twelve years and also by the public generally. The eulogy was delivered by Jack Thorne (D. B. Fulton), who was a close friend of the deceased. Professor Tunnell on School Board. Professor William V. Tunnell of Howard university, at Washington, has been named as a member of the Washington city school board. The school board is composed of six white members and three Afro-Americanans. They are Richard R. Horner, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and John P. Cook, who, on account of ill health, will be succeeded on July 1 by Professor Tunnel. Clubwomen's Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the State Federation of Afro-American Women's Clubs of the state of Pennsylvania will be held at Pittsburg, beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 18, to last three days. The sessions will be held in the St. James' A. M. E. church under the auspices of the Married Women's Culture club, of which Mrs. Fannie M. Herndon is president.

A Chance for a Bargain. An Irishman who had begun to practise photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "Wel," said the chemist, "it will be twopence as it is, but if you want anything in it, I won't charge you for the bottle." "Then," said Pat, "put a cork in it." A When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oidest and best of its kind.) See that name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE.
