Greek Proverbs What the wind gathers the devil SEEKING SECOND EMPIRE. New Light on Reveal's Hunting Ex- cavation in Africa. According to Leslie's Weekly, Theodore Roosevelt, while apparently in Africa on a hunting expedition, killing tigers and seals, is in reality carefully investigating conditions to ascertain if it be not possible and practicable to establish in the Sudan country a second empire of Liberia and so solve forever the Negro question of America. This is the disclosure made by a United States federal attorney in charge of a southern district, who relates the supposed secret plans of Booth and the president, revealed by the former president's confident is to stake out a good section of the country in the Sudan north of the Kenego Free State and west of German and British East Africa, hoist the stars and stripes at the four corners, have Uselen Slam declare a protectorate, organize the native tribes into a suzerainty of the United States of America, and then will come the expiration of the Negroes from this country to the new empire in the heart of Africa. In the rounding out of the plan a wedge will be formed by a nation with a great pool of united tribes that will prevent the expansion territory or commercially of Germany and will or commercially of Germany a factor in the balance of power among the nations of Europe now struggling to retain and enlarge their footholds in Africa. WORKER IN MANY FIELDS. Mrs. Treadwell Well Informed on the Achievements of the Rose Achievements One of the most active workers for the discipline and sale of books and other literature published by Afro-Americans is Mrs. R. Celestia Trendwell of New York. She is a native of Virginia and came to New York several years ago. Unlike many of our young folks who come north. Mrs. Trendwell immediately allied herself with the church, secret and benevolent societies and literary organizations, in many of which as member she was a long time leader. Her order to keep abreast of the times and to know of the men and women of the race who have been successful in literature as well as in religion and business Mrs. Trendwell became agent for several publishing and mercantile concerns. For a number of years she made a study of the books, magazines and papers written and published by Afro-Americans. In church and secret society circles she is well known as an ardent worker. She is also known as an amateur dramatist and has sung in one of the leading church chorals. It MRS. E. CELESTIA TREADWELL was her good fortune last July to go abroad for three months. She visited Liverpool, London, Clapton, Oxford, Brussels, Antwerp and many other leading cities of the continent. Mrs. Treadwell is a prominent member of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers and was one of the pioneer workers for the establishment of the Young Women's Christian association on West Fifty-third street, New York, a few years ago. WE ARE LOYAL CITIZENS. Richmond Macon of Negro Thrift and Industry, Says Davis. D. Webster Davis in responding to President Taft's address to Afro-Americans at Richmond, Va., recently said: "We are loyal citizens of our commonwealth. We love every rock and rill of our dear old state. Our white citizens after the war came house broken in health and fortune, but along with the education of their children, poor as they were, they willingly gave of their means to the poor, and out of slavery and have continued to do so since. It is strange indeed that this capital of the Confederacy has become the Mecca of the Negro race, and we are actually accomplishing more here than in any city in the south. We represent $3,000,000 in tax money, four banks and many business enterprises. We have done this because of the kindness and help of our white citizens and because we have faith in them, faith in ourselves, faith in God and faith in our president."

Church Builder And Organizer. Brilliant Social Function Given at St. Philas' P. E. Church, Jacksonville, Fla., in Honor of Rector E. R. Bennett's Promotion to the Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Florida. The most notable event in Afro-American church circles at Jacksonville, Fl., was the reception recently given in honor of Archdeacon Edmund Robert Bennett, who has the unique distinction of being the first Afro-American archdeacon of the diocese of Florida. An rector of St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church at Jacksonville he has done a work of both spiritual and material uplift among people who have thus far graduated from the famous Nabatae seminary. He was ordained at Milwaukee, WI., and afterward established the Afro-American mission at St. Paul, Minn., which under his leadership grew rapidly. Rector Bennett on leaving the mission at St. Paul was called to Wilmington, N.C., to take charge of St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal church there, which had run down in attendance and had little or no means with which to undertake the membership as an organizer and religious worker, he soon revived the interest of the members of the church and perfected plans for building up the membership and securing the church work. Rev. Bennett's next objective point was the hundreds of persons in the community who were not at all interested in church work or in the moral uptake of themselves. He went into the thickly settled sections, among the poor and neglected people, to teach them the necessary skills and teach them the necessity of leading better lives and how they would be benefited by connecting themselves with the church. The result was that with a short time hundred united with the church, which soon became the strongest and most influential parish of Afro-American Episcopalians in Wilmington. He organized and was the first president of the local Negro Baptist Institute for local Negro students, chairman of the board of directors of the Men's forum and was the worshipful master of Hanover idge, F. and A. M. He is for any movement that will give Afro-Americans opportunities for self help and greater use. ARCHDEACON R. R. BENNETT. fulness. His eloquent and convincing speeches before various bodies of his church and especially at the general convention before the committee on missions and bishops made him a popular favorite with his associates. Rector Bennett's influence has been felt for good among the members of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, and Knights of Pythias very effectively. His work in Jacksonville is in keeping with the enviable and praiseworthy record which has characterized him in every place in which he has labored. Jack Johnson an Honor to His Race. Ever since Jack Johnson correlated Burns in Australia and "knocked him out" American newspapers, sporting writers and the general public have been declaring that the Negro champion heavyweight and a "streak of yellow" and that Tommy Burns was a Dur fusher. Of course there have been some exaggerated reports that Burns been eminently fair, and no doubt Jack Johnson, along with the entire Negro race, appreciates their manliness. Prizefighting is not necessarily a profession to rave over, but it's here, and white men indulge in it. Why not the black? Johnson as heavyweight champion of the world is a credit to the race, and every Negro should be proud of his achievements. He has "made good" in his chosen vocation—Denver Statesman. Negro Soldiers Loyal to the Flag. The Boston Transcript says that colored troops serve nobly. Desertions from colored regiments do not average one-tenth of those from white regiments. This fidelity to the colors may be partly due to the truth of an old army saying that the service offers to the white man a refuge and to the colored man a career. Men pass lifetime regiments, and colored regiments correlated in the assurance of the retired pay that a wait's long service and good records. Between officers and men grow up long trust and confidence that even Brownville has been powerless to shake. KEOKUK NOTES.

F. Co, Omaha Missed From a Mangled Mail Bag They are Recovered From Car Trucks. It does not always follow that the disappearance of registered mail packages indicate a robbery of the mail. This was demonstrated on The Overland Limited train. No. 2 Friday, November 5th, when a package of five registered letters from Schuyler disappeared between that point and Omaha. The recovery of the lost package was as strange as its disappearance. The Schuyler pouch is picked up from a crane by means of a pouch catcher as the train passes. This pouch catcher is attached to the mall car and hooks onto the pouch suspended from the crane as the train passes. In this particular instance the pouch catcher did not make a good catch and the pouch fell under the train and was cut in two. The mall car, the train and was cut along the track for a considerable distance, but the five registered letters, which were in a packet, could not be found when the other mall was picked up. The impression at once prevailed that the registered package had been found and kept by some one and it was reported as lost. Postoffice Inspector L. A. Thompson was started out to investigate. His first visit was to Council Bluffs to make inquiries of the postal clerks on the car, and scarcely had he reached where he received word that the registered package had been found by the car cleaner resting snugly on the trucks under the dining room or thrown when the mail pothole was funged under the wheels at Schuyler. That the package was not injured in the slightest, nor burned from its position on the trucks, is simply another tribute to the Union Pacific unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

The rivers and lakes and the points at which the fish were deposited, are as follows: In the Volga river at West Union; Storm Lake; Medium Lake at Emmetsburg; Clear Lake; In the Wapsie river at Independence; Spirit Lake and Okohokl; Iowa river at Coralville; Cedar river at Waverly; Iowa river at Alden; and Cedar river at Cedar Rapids.

ASK LOWER RATES Harrison Denies Jurisdiction of Railroad Board. Des Molnes, Nov. 3.—T. B. Harrison, Jr., general counsel for the American and Adams Express companies, kicked up a lively rumper at the hearing brought by Iowa shipa before the railroad commission who demand a general reduction of express rates on C. O. D. shipments in Iowa. Mr. Harrison told the commissioners that they have no power to investigate express rates. "The express business is purely collection so far as C. O. D. shipments are concerned and is entirely separate from the transportation question," he declared. The question came up in the case of the Iowa Stock Food company of Jefferson against the express companies. D. W. Howard for the company claimed that the shippers were common pay and an unreasonable rate for the payment of the money which the express companies collected on C. O. D. shipments. Attorney Harrison, addressing the commission, made two propositions: first, that the commission has no jurisdiction to determine the rate, as they only have jurisdiction over transportation rates and the collection business of an express company is not a part of its transportation business; second, even if the commission does have jurisdiction, the rate that is reasonable in view of the fact that the company is controlled to hunt up the man, collect the money and then return it to the shipper. For this same collection a regular collection agency would charge 10 per cent while the companies hardly charge 1 per cent. No decision was given. MAY ASK MORE FOR PLOWS Des Moines, Dec. 3.—Declaring that the present scale of prices at which farm implements are sold to the farmers of Iowa is far too low for the retailers to make any adequate profit, J. A. C. Craig of Janesville, Wis., representing the National Plow Manufacturers' association, spoke to the members of the Iowa Implement Dealers' association at their convention in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Mr. Craig advocated the reduction of the receipt prices at least 20 per cent over the present prices. The announcement from a representative of the manufacturing interests of the country who attended the convention with the authority to speak for every manufacturer of plows in the entire United States, created a profound impression on the members of the Implement Dealers' association. Before making this final conclusion Mr. Craig gave a summary of the prices brought by the standard articles of farming implements and showed that the average profit of the Iowa dealer in farm implements does not clear more than $200 a year above his actual expenses. In his annual report, Secretary Treasurer E. P. Armknecht showed the great progress made by the association during the past two years and showed the excellent condition of the finances of the association. Woman Will Flight Extradition.

The Grand Unified Order of Nazarene, a fraternal organization with headquarters at Baltimore, is probably the most prosperous of the many fraternal orders among Afro-Americans in the state of Maryland. It was organized in 1834 by a number of person who were interested in the welfare of the race, who probably built wiser than they knew. Of the men who founded the order only one is now living: Bishop James A. Handy of Baltimore, who has labored for more than a half century as an active worker in the African Methodist Episcopal church. In the days when the order was organized there was a curfew law for colored people in Baltimore, and the meetings of colored fraternal orders had to be attended by some white man, whose business it was to see that no plots were hatched against the institution of slavery. Immediately after the civil war the order began to grow rapidly until there are now over 3,000 members in Baltimore alone, with nearly $40,000 to their credit in bank. The order also has a large membership in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The steady growth of the Nazarites made the members wish for a home of their own. Accordingly ground was bought at 534-539 North Calvert street. Baltimore, with a large four story building was erected in 1891 at a cost of $2,250. It is located in the center of the town and is clear of debt. The building was purchased in hall on the north was purchased for $3,000; payment upon which was completed a few months ago. It is the intention of the order to improve the last purchased property by erecting an addition to the hall. This will give the hall a frontage of sixty feet on Calvert street, with a depth of about 150 feet. Among the many women who have labored for the advancement of the order are Mendesna Fannie N. Brown, Mary M. Pratt, Martha A. Dungee, Margaret Durham, Carrie V. Page and Dennis McKinney in building up the order were the late David Nelson, George W. Cattell, Perry P. Clark, Henry R. Hooker, Addison Manns, W. H. Klimen, James H. Dickson, Allen Fields, G. H. Payne, W. H. Wilson, W. I. Butler and Alfred H. Pitta, the present grand clerk of records of the order. Mr. Pitta was born in Virginia in 1853. He came to Baltimore at an early age and at once allied himself with C. ALFRED H. PITTS. The order and has been a prominent worker therein for over thirty years. For a number of years he served as president of the board of directors of the Nazarete Joint Stock association. Mr. Pittis is also a thirty-second degree Mason and is rated as one of the most substantial men in Baltimore. He is the owner of considerable property. The members of the board of directors of the Nazarete Joint Stock association are: Addison Manns, president; Henry R. Hooker, treasurer; H. T. Payne, auditor; Augustus Watts, B. F. Sewell, John H.

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 pos- sible; 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 theira is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE.

Jackson and Mrs. Eubanks and marched there from columns of fours and eights until they had reached the home of their pastor, Rev. John W. Evans, 1135 Water st., and there showered him with a hearty surprise party which brought with it many good things for the pastor's needs. That noted old song, "A Stranger at the Door," was led by Miss Matilda Thomas with a cheerful echo by the entire party 'let him in' of which meant many good things after the pastor and his wife. After the much surprised pastor and his companion had welcomed the party into their home, then once more they engaged in singing that sweet anthem "Near My God to Them." Prayer was offered by Brea Amhove Jackson and a short but touching presentation address was made by Deacon Ligginbothan, presenting to the pastor the many good things that had been brought to him by the party. The much delighted pastor responded with many words of thankfulness to the party and welcomed them to again return to his home individually. The pastor feels at home among such kind-hearted Christian like people.
