A very interesting bulletin giving the statistics of religious bodies for the year 1008 has just been issued by the bureau of census at Washington. Particularly interesting are the statistics pertaining to the several Afro-American denominations, whose development, both in church membership and in the value of church property owned, indicates a vigorous spiritual and material growth. The report shows that there are now seventeen denominations wholly made up of colored organizations as against ten in the report of 1800. Of those given in 1800, two, the Congregational Methodist church and the Evangelist Missionary church, have ceased to exist, while the following new denominations appear for the first time: Colored Primitive Baptists in America. United American Free Will Baptists. Church of the Living God (three bodies). Voluntary Missionary Society In America. Free Christian Zion Church of Christ and Reformed Methodist Union Episcopal church. The denominations composed only in part of colored organizations are twenty-six in number as against nineteen in 1800. For these denominations no attempt was made to ascertain the number of colored communicants belonging to the connectional white churches, only those churches that were made up wholly of colored communicants being accepted as a basis upon which to determine the number of colored organizations. The denominations composed wholly of colored churches reported 13,183 communicans and 13,907 church property valued at $44,673,040, while those denominations made up only in part of colored churches reported 5,277 organizations, with 477,700 members and church property valued at $11,963,110. The total number of organizations reported in 1906 for all denominations consisting in whole or in part of colored organizations was 30,770 as against 23,462 in 1800: the number of communicants, 3,685,097 as compared with 2,673,777 in 1800, while the value of church property increased from $20,626,488 in 1800 to $60,635,190 in 1800, a sum representing a per capita value of $1,299,970 for every Afro-American church member. The total debt on church property was $5,005,905, or 8.8 per cent of the total value, and represents a per capita indebtedness of $1.36 for every communicant or member. A comparison of our two leading organizations in the Baptist and Methodist denominations is quite interesting. The national Baptist convention reported 18,534 organizations, with 2,261,067 communicants or members; 17,913 church edifices, with a seating capacity of 5,160,301, and 508 halls used for church services. The total value of church property reported by 17,890 organizations was $24,487,727. The African Methodist Episcopal church reported 6,647 organizations, with 49,477 communicants or members; 6,538 church edifices, with a seating capacity of 1,832,000, and 208 halls. The total value of church property reported by 6,250 organizations was $11,487,727. Information from the report that the national Baptist convention has 11,887 more organizations, 1,768,830 more members, 11,375 more church edifices, 240 more halls and church property to the value of $13,138,783 in excess of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The total number of parsonages reported for all colored organizations was 4,779, valued at $3,727,884, the state of Georgia leading with 404, valued at $200,513, followed by South Carolina in the number of parsonages, but by Pennsylvania in the value of $1,126,984, valued at $227,963, as compared with ninety-eight, valued at $248,700, for the state of Pennsylvania. Sunday, schools numbered 34,681, with 210,148 officers and teachers and 1,740,009 scholars. New Postmaster for Quindaro. For the first time in the history of Kansas a Negro has been appointed postmaster. At the little village of Quindaro, where the great Western university is located, a postoffice has been established, and our esteemed friend Hon. W. W. Fisher is postmaster. The office has about 250 patrons, besides 350 students of the school. It is awfully new to Kansas to transact business with a Negro postmaster, but old to Mr. Fisher, he having served some years in the same capacity in South Carolina under McKinley's first administration—Topka Plaindealer. Afro-Americans Are Forging Ahead. After all that is said of the Negro by his enemies in and out of the country, he is still making progress. Wherever there is a bulletin of progress raised aloft which is not too much bedded by the haze and maze of prejudice to show in an impartial way the writing thereon the good deeds of the Negro stand out in fair proportion, forever convincing the world that he is making headway—Dallas (Tex.)

Banquet Given Lyon and Scott Banquet Given Lyon and Scott Prominent Citizens From Many Sections Gather at Washington to Do Homage to Two Great Men of the Race. New Shrine of Freedom in "the Fatherland." On Wednesday evening, Nov. 17, at the new Masonic auditorium, Washington, 200 representative men met at a festal board and intwined the spirit of the Masonic tradition, a national good fellowship between the United States and Africa, giving substantial significance to the elaborate decorations of the banquet hall, in which were intwined in artistic fashion the cheer inspiring colors of the United States and Liberia. The occasion was a complimentary dinner in honor of the Hon. Ernest Lyon, United States minister to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott, representing the Methodist Episcopal church in the African republic. Not only was it the object of the distinguished gathering to pay a deserving tribute to the PETER H. two forces that have contributed so generously and effectively to the uplift of the Negro race at home and abroad, but it was deemed fitting and proper that there should come from the spokesman of the Negroes of this country at this time some formal expression of our sympathy with the aspirations of our foster child, the republic of Liberia, toward a stronger social, commercial, industrial and national development. That a keeper sense of the mission of the Liberian people refers to the protection and encouragement of the Liberian public is being felt throughout the land was evidenced by the lofty notes struck in a major key by Minster Lyon, Bishop Dr. Scott, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and the speakers who followed the impassioned appeal of these statements that an opportunity for a larger life be offered to the builders of a new shrine in the city of New York. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy department, acted as toastmaster and introduced the speakers in language that combined dignity with humor and kept the company on tiptoe of expectation as to the next treat that was to be presented. As each gentleman arose the orchestra played a bar of an air typical of the locality from which he has been following. As the audience of the gathering W. Martin, the program of the evening was opened with an appropriate statement of the purpose of the gathering by Toastmaster Tyler. Toasts were responded to as follows: "The Negro on Two Continents," Dr Booker T. Washington; "Our Guests," Judge Robert H. Terrell; "Influence of the Church in Africa," Bishop I. B. Scott; and "The United States and Liberia," Hon. Ernest Lyon. The tone of the addresses was optimistic throughout. Many valuable suggestions were coming to this government could extend aid to the Liberian people, and it was the belief of all that with adequate protection and the encouragement of capital the budding republic on Africa's western coast could be made the garden spot of the world. With Minister Lyon describing the needs of the Liberians and what the United States could do toward supplying sturdy immigration and thrift investors, with Bishop Scott testifying to the revivifying influence the church is exerting upon the masses, and with Dr. Washington showing how the progressive and fortune blest citizens by their assistent esteemed favored brethren in coming into their own, the cause of the Negro republic was given a hearing that betokened great possibilities for the future. Besides the Liberian flag, the decoration scheme included the flag of the city of Monrovia, Liberia's stateally capital, used for the first time in America. Minister Lyon and Dr. Washington wore the insignia of the Order of African Redemption. The committee of arrangements, to whose painstaking labor the success of the magnificent function was due, was made up of the principal political, educational, social and commercial forces of the nation's capital, headed by Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, chairman, and Mr. Lewis E. Johnson of the Y. M. C. A., secretary. Price Five Cents. ROCK ISLAND, ILL. Rev. Cotrell, the ex-pastor of Wayman chapel, paid Rock Island a visit last week.

THE DELINEATOR for DECEMBER The Christmas number of The Delineator represents all that is best in the making of a magazine. It is sumptuously illustrated, and the pages that offer the cream of current literature, special articles by leading thinkers and fascinating descriptions of the fashions are decorated most artistically. "My Principles of Giving" is a subject of special moment at Christmastime, and wide interest will be felt in what John D. Rockefellow, Andrew Carnegie, J. Ogden Armour, Thomas H. Swope, John H. Converse, Nathan Evangeline and Evangeline Booth say concerning their methods of helping humanity, "A Home with Fork Daughters," by Mabel Potter Daggett, and "Attending to His Drop," by Eugene Wood, are two timely articles that reflect the good-will-to-man ideal. "The Gentle Resident of the Vatican," a near-by study of the Pope, by Kellogg Durland, is peculiarly fitting for the holiday number of a magazine, for it presents Christmas glimpses of Rome and the Vatican. Richard Le Gallenne's beautiful serial, "October Vagabonds," is continued. The Liping story for the month is called "Gloriana." It is superbly illustrated. Like the other tales of this remarkable series, it is compelling in interest and haunting in its strange power. J. J. Bell, the Scottish humorist, contributes a delightful story, "Deeds of Kindness." "The Making of a Aero" is a pleasant tale, well told by Leila Lyon Topping. Grace McGowan Cooke's serial, "The Power and the Glory," is continued. The fashions for the month are reviewed by clever writers in Paris, Berlin, London and New York.

Still, the cear and King Victor Emmanuel are not too old for those kissing games. The last rose of summer is beginning to think it is not worth while to bloom alone. If Christopher Columbus could discover America again now, he would be almost as much astonished as he was before. Mars is about 35,000,000 miles distant from the earth just now, says a contemporary. Not close enough to fan us. Over 150 persons have been killed while climbing the Alps this year, but just wait until the list of football fatalities is handed in. The latest in millinery is the toque. And we suppose they'll squee the toque, and poque it and jouce it, and the old man will will go brogue paying for it. A school for turning out model housewives has been started in Chicago. Already we can hear the biff which such an institution will deliver to the divorce microbe. College football is already claiming its victims. A thousand victories on the gridiron do not compensate for the loss of a single life or the permanent injury of one player. Considering the average character of New York ple that's encouragement for the crush and against dyspepsia in the reduction by the strikers from 100,000 to 3,000 in the daily output. An economic expert declares that women do not know how to buy This label upon the shopping sex. Is it appropriate to endorse an indignation. What would the bargain phase of domestic commercial life be without the women? When the north pole is exploited as a summer resort it should be popular in open seasons for the reason that by rowing around it over a course not more than half a mile in length anyone who cares for the distinction may claim a certificate as a circumnavigator. Now a New York minister says that women's intemperance in drink, smoking and dress is destroying society. For the number of times it has been destroyed in a similar way at different periods society must have a resurrection power on the gunmetal order. Germany increased $896,000 in population during the year which ended with little if any. For the last but little if any, and someone has made the cruel remark that Napoleon, the great French soldier, once cynically remarked that Providence is on the side of the heaviest battalions. St Thomas Lipton reveals the inherent nature of his persistence in struggling for the America's cup by making provision in his will for continuance of the contests in the event of his death. The document is practically notification to the New York Yacht club that it cannot expect to hold to its determination not to race under the universal rule long enough to escape another Lipton challenge. Edward Glenn of Boston, believes in peace and has given substantial proof of his inclination in that direction. He has just given $1,000,000 to promote the cause of peace, and says he will set aside $60,000 annually for the same purpose hereafter. The field is an attractive one for cultivation, and few objects are more worthy than trying to save life and expense by maintaining peace among the nations. Apparently there still is a strong disinclination to serve in the Spanish army, particularly when it is quite possible the soldiers may be sent to fight in Morocco, where everything is not going Spain's way at present. A Spanish steamer which has just arrived at San Juan, Porto Rico, brought 7,500 young men from Spanish colonies, every one of the party bent on escaping service in the king's military establishment. It is pointed out by the New York Sun that Freshman Sidis, the youth who has matriculated at Harvard at the more than usually immature age of 11 years, is not in a class by himself. Andrew Preston Peabody was graduated at 15 and Edward Everett entered when he was 13, while Cotton and Increase Mather were on the university rolls when 11 and 12 respectively. The Sun believes that the attention young Sidis has received is not only undeserved but regrettable. Every few days there comes a dispatch from Los Angeles saying that a party has been lost in the mountains or that a family has perished on the desert. Southern California seems to need more guide posts. _____ The most accommodating man on record lived until lately in Pennsylvania. He was hanged, but before his execution expressed willingness to have granted the request of his wife to see him hanged and to have her share that pleasure with the man she intended to marry after it was over. There is a disposition frequently shown to begrudge the man who has passed 50 room on the earth. He is called a back number and is repeatedly shoved aside to make room for a "hustler." Possibly this tendency is due to the fact that the man of age is much inclined to look upon himself as being down and out. If he does not think well of himself, he cannot blame other people for putting him down. He needs is more life and ginger. He is much a matter of how one feels all over. Eating for Strength.

Secretary Knox will demand that $100,000 indemnity be paid the families of the victims. The demand will be couched in stern language, and will require a formal apology, a salute to the American flag, and perhaps the payment without delay of an indemnity 'for the benefit of the heirs of the deceased. Failure to make instant compliance will cause the government to consider the observance of one of the three following plans: 1. Recognition of the belligency of the insurgents, now operating in and controlling the eastern half of Nicaragua. 2. Seizure of the custom house at Corinto, the single port of Nicaragua, which is held by the government. 3. Declaration of war. It is possible that by the two measures may be simultaneously. An official dispatch received from the American vice-consul at Managua Saturday announced that President Zelaya admitted he had directed the shooting of Cannon and Groce after a court-martial, and that he did so over the protest of the commander-in-chief of the Nicaraguan army and the minister general of the republic.

For some reason better known to the Canadians themselves than to the people on this side of the line, our Canadian cousins celebrated their Thanksgiving a month or more earlier than we do. It may be that the Canadian turkey had become impatient, and sounded a note of warning, or it may be that the "frost on the pumpkin" declared itself. But whatever the reason, their Thanksgiving day is past. It may have been that the reasons for giving Thanksgiving to the Canadians were pushing themselves so hard and so fast that the Canadians were nailed to postpone the event. They have had reasons, and good ones, too, for giving thanks. Their great broad areas of prairie land have yielded in abundance, and here, by the way, it is not interesting to the friends of the millions of Americans who have made their home in Canada during the past few years to know that they have participated most generously in the "cutting of the meadow." Probably the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have the greatest reason of any of the provinces to express in the most enthusiastic manner their gratitude. This year has surpassed all others in so far as the total increase in the country's wealth is concerned. There is no question that Providence is especially generous. The weather conditions were perfect, and during the ripening and harvest period, there was well it was so, for with a demand for labor that could not be supplied, but with suitable weather the garnering of the grain has been successfully accomplished. There have been low general averages, but these are accounted for by the fact that farmers were indifferent, relying altogether upon what a good soil would do. There will be no more low averages though, for this year has shown what good, careful farming will do. It will produce 130 million bushels of wheat from this crop, relying altogether upon what a good soil would do. There is a splendid lot of cats, yielding anywhere from 50 to 100 bushels per acre. This on land that has cost but from $10 to $15 per acre—many farmers have realized sufficient from this year's crop to pay the entire cost of their farms. The Toronto Globe says: "The whole population of the West rejoices in the bounty of Providence, and sends out a message of gratitude and appreciation of the favors which have been bestowed on the country. The cheerfulness which has abounded with industry during the past six months has not obliterated the conception of the source from which the blessings have flown, and the good things have been given by a spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of living in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes of the past are practically forgotten, because there is great cause to contemplate with satisfaction the "comforts of the present. Thanksgiving should be a season of unusual enthusiasm." Would Be No Change. NOTARY PUBLIC Award Owner O is taken into custody and is directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system.
