Chance to Make Up Price Five Cents HOWARDOBSERVES GOLDEN JUBILEE Famous Washington Institution Holds Fine Celebration. EMINENT SPEAKERS HEARD Success Crowns Work of University Named For General O. O. Howard. Festivities Lasting Three Days Furnish Social and Intellectual Feast For Faculty, Students and Friends. Washington.-The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Howard university, held from March 1 to 3, inclusive, was easily one of the most notable events in the history of the Negro people since emancipation. This was shown by the character of those who came back from their various fields of work to take part in the celebration of their alma mater's good old age and in the character of the great men and women who took part in the proceedings as principals. The first two days of the celebration, notably the most farreaching in interest, were devoted to the discussion of sociological problems which confront the Negro people. It was called the "sociological conference." The conference was opened by President S. M. Newman of the university, outlining the purpose and scope of the conference, followed by the discussion of the subject "Ownership of Rural and Urban Homes" by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, President N. B. Young of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical college and Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia. Dean Kelly Miller presided. The paper on business enterprises was read by Monroe N. Work, director of the division of records and research at Tuskegee institute, and was discussed by William Anthony Aery of Hampton institute and Fred R. Moore of New York. On the second day the subject of discussion was "Education." Dean Lewis B. Moore presided. The paper was read by Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools for the District of Columbia, and was discussed by Dean Benjamin G. Brawley of Morehouse college and others, "Health and Sanitation" was by far the most important paper discussed at the conference. This paper was read by Dr. C. V. Roman, A. M., of Nashville. It was not only eloquent in its word painting, but luminous and conclusive in its facts. Miss Mary W. Ovington and Eugene Kinckle Jones of New York participated in the discussion. In the afternoon "Race Cooperation After Fifty Years" was discussed by Professor A. M. Trawick and others. The mass meeting at Convention hall was presided over by ex-Chief Justice Stanton Judkins Peele, LL, D. Addresses on "The Significance of the Fifty Years of History of Howard University and of the Advance of the Colored Race, With Which It Is Connected" were delivered by the Hon. Franklin Knight Lane, secretary of the interior; Professor Carl Kelsey, Ph. D. of the University of Pennsylvania; President H. T. Kealing, D. D., of Western University and Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkleld. The music, under the leadership of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, was excellent. The musical festival was held at the Dunbar High school. The mass meeting at the First Congregational church, presided over by Dr. J. H. W. Warring, was a meeting to commemorate the birth of the university and the signing of the charter, March 2, 1807. It was one of the most soul stirring of gatherings, because all those who participated in it were identified with the life and fortunes of the university. Notable addresses were delivered by Professor Richard T. Greener, Judge George W. Atkinson and Dr. W. A. Stnclair. On Saturday, the third and last day of the celebration, there were reunions by departments and classes and a general alumni rally, the latter being presided over by Shelby J. Davidson, the president of the General Alumni association, who delivered an address of welcome. Addresses were also delivered by John C. Asbury of Philadelphia and Rev. George Frazier Miller of New York. Presidents of visiting colleges were entertained at luncheon Saturday night by the trustee board. Howard university owes its existence to the devotion and self sacrifice of General Oliver O. Howard, a soldier of the Union army and a lover of all races, without distinction of color, and who denied himself that others more needy might have advantages which he had enjoyed of opportunity and education. The results of fifty years of work done by the university, as shown in its results, more than justifies the faith of its namesake and benefactor, who has "passed beyond the bar, ```markdown ``` The Best advertising medium to rech colored people in the west THE BYSTANDER Boost Pay and read The Bystander SIOUX CITY, IOWA.

Chance to Make Up Price Five Cents HOWARDOBSERVES GOLDEN JUBILEE Famous Washington Institution Holds Fine Celebration. EMINENT SPEAKERS HEARD Success Crowns Work of University Named For General O. O. Howard. Festivities Lasting Three Days Furnish Social and Intellectual Feast For Faculty, Students and Friends. Washington.—The celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of Howard university, held from March 1 to 3, inclusive, was easily one of the most notable events in the history of the Negro people since emancipation. This was shown by the character of those who came back from their various fields of work to take part in the celebration of their alma mater's good old age and in the character of the great men and women who took part in the proceedings as principals. The first two days of the celebration, notably the most farreaching in interest, were devoted to the discussion of sociological problems which confront the Negro people. It was called the "sociological conference." The conference was opened by President S. M. Newman of the university, outlining the purpose and scope of the conference, followed by the discussion of the subject "Ownership of Rural and Urban Homes" by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, President N. B. Young of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical college and Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, Dean Kelly Miller presided. The paper on business enterprises was read by Monroe N. Work, director of the division of records and research at Tuskegee institute, and was discussed by William Anthony Aery of Hampton Institute and Fred R. Moore of New York. On the second day the subject of discussion was "Education." Dean Lewis B. Moore presided. The paper was read by Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools for the District of Columbia, and was discussed by Dean Benjamin G. Brawley of Morehouse college and others. "Health and Sanitation" was by far the most important paper discussed at the conference. This paper was read by Dr. C. V. Roman, A. M., of Nashville. It was not only eloquent in its word painting, but luminous and conclusive in its facts. Miss Mary W. Ovington and Eugene Kinckle Jones of New York participated in the discussion. In the afternoon "Race Cooperation After Fifty Years" was discussed by Professor A. M. Trawick and others. The mass meeting at Convention hall was presided over by ex-Chief Justice Stanton Judkins Peelle, LL. D. Addresses on "The Significance of the Fifty Years of History of Howard University and of the Advance of the Colored Race, With Which It Is Connected" were delivered by the Hon. Franklin Knight Lane, secretary of the interior; Professor Carl Kesley, Ph. D. of the University of Pennsylvania; President H. T. Kealing, D. D., of Western University and Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield. The music, under the leadership of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, was excellent. The musical festival was held at the Dunbar High school. The mass meeting at the First Congregational church, presided over by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, was a meeting to commemorate the birth of the university and the signing of the charter, March 2, 1807. It was one of the most soul stirring of gatherings, because all those who participated in it were identified with the life and fortunes of the university. Notable addresses were delivered by Professor Richard T. Greener, Judge George W. Atkinson and Dr. W. A. Stinclair. On Saturday, the third and last day of the celebration, there were reunions by departments and classes and a general alumni rally, the latter being presided over by Shelby J. Davidson, the president of the General Alumni association, who delivered an address of welcome. Addresses were also delivered by John C. Asbury of Philadelphia and Rev. George Frazier Miller of New York. Presidents of visiting colleges were entertained at luncheon Saturday night by the trustee board. Howard university owes its existence to the devotion and self sacrifice of General Oliver O. Howard, a soldier of the Union army and a lover of all races, without distinction of color, and who denied himself that others more needy might have advantages which he had enjoyed of opportunity and education. The results of fifty years of work done by the university, as shown in its results, more than justifies the faith of its namesake and benefactor, who has "passed beyond the bar, ```markdown ``` The Best advertising medium to rech colored people in the west “THE.

Mrs. Ellis- ton played “Polly Dowler,” Miss Early, “Sucky Button,” and L.

But on the above date I went in- to this place and met a man named George Mahnke, who played anything but a clérk and gentleman. When I went in and asked for what I wanted, he commenced to kick; he got what I asked for, and when I asked him to wrap up the goods, he said, “I will not wrap your goods; you get out.” I asked him if he knew who he was talking to and out of respect to the gentleman who owns the place, I ‘wrapped up my own goods, and while I was doing so, this man came up to me and said, “If you was down south where I came from and talk to a white man as you talk to me, we could throw you out.” I told him he was HATS / J THE TRIMMED LOW PRICE Ladies--Our East Hat is ready at the FASHION.

A WORD FROM ONE OF THE BY- STANDER'S REAL BOOSTERS. Burlington, Iowa, March 18.—Hon. John L. Thompson, Des Moines, Iowa. —Dear Sir: It is with pleasure I ex- tend to you my hearty congratulations on the revision of your interesting pa- per, The Bystander. I especially en- joy the health hints by Dr. Bookr. They are indeed interesting and food for thought. Your recent addition, “Poems you ought to know,” are truly inspiring. Your selection is admir- able. Your paper, although smaller in size, it is larger in educational value. With success to The Bystand- er, I remain as ever, Mrs, J. E. Johnson, 714 Spruce Street. Please permit me to say through the columns of your paper, in reply to those who frequently ask my opin. ion of Mr. Roland W. Hayes as a sing. er. One writer says: “Singing is the interpretation of text by the use of musical tones produced by the humar voice.” If that definition is correct I consider Mr. Hayes one of the great: est tenors on the American platform. In his voice there is all the beauty that there is in the average tenor and about twice the volume and in no case does he sacrifice quality for quantity He is supported by Mr. Wm. L. King who is an excellent pianist. In fact he is a coming virtuoso. Both Mr. ized a domestic science club, which to the highest attainment in in mu. sicianship. w i Warricks.

PLEA POR SELF-RE UNITED ORDER OF G00D SHEPHERDS Mabama’s Potent Aganey For Raclal Uplift. OWNS VALUABLE PROPERTIES Montgomery, Ala.—Among the thou- sands of young men In the south who are making good and who are forging to the front Is George W. Chandler, founder of the United Order of Good Shepherds, one of the largest and most Infuentlal organizations in the south for the good of the race. It Is to Tal- lndega, Ala., that the credit for this young man fs due, because It was there he was born, and it was there he recelved his foundation for an educa- tlon in the public school and then ‘Tal- ladega college. His futher was one of the original ploneers In the vicinity of ‘Talladega and was one of the first of his race to own land in that section of the country. He made good use of his opportunities in every way pos- sible. ‘The son imbibed the spirit of his fa- ther and began life with a determina- tion to do something to ald bis peo- ple in thelr struggle for advancement. ‘To live in the hearts of his people has been an effort which has claimed every minute of his time, and he has ever been ready to serve. He has made good in everything to which he has put bis hands. It 1s not, therefore, surprising that the United Order of Good Shepherds should take such a prominent place in the affairs of the race. Mr, Chandler has given the making of the order his personal at- tention, and It now operates in six states and continues to grow, “The lo- cal organizations are called lodges and fountains, ‘This is one of the organizations which are helping the race to climb to higher things in life. Eighteen miles south of Selma, Ala., the order owns 8,100 acres of land, and 600 acres of this land have been designated for the widows and orphans of the order, while the other is for increasing the revenue of the order in order to aus- tain these widows and orphans. Fifty families have taken advantage of the opportunities given them by the order and are owning good homes. On the land owned by the order elghty-seven buildings have been erected, posting one three story brick building, valued ‘at $10,000, a sawmill, a gristmill and a shingle mill. ‘This 1s 2 new departure in fraternal organization among the people, and at once it appeals to them, Mr. Chandler has reached bis people, and they think much of him, He has ever been ready to encourage any enterprise among the people, assisting the young men and women struggling for an education, because he had to start at the ground and work up. His father put him on his own merits, belleving that if a boy would make a man he must. win bis place and not be fed with a silver spoon. He believed in golng right down and getting it from the shoulder or directly from the brain, ‘Mr, Chandler owns a beautiful home, two stories and well furnished, on one of the best streets In Montgom- ery, and there resides with his estima- De wife and daughter. ‘They are hap- py, and he is spending a llfe for and with his people. The ‘success of this young man should be an inspiration to others. ‘This is a progressive age of doing things, and the man who sits down and talks about what he 1s going to be after awhile If he lives and nothing Lappens will never make much head- way in America or any other country. In the’ office of the head of the Unit- ed Order of Good Shepherds are to be found several of the trained young people of the race, Mrs, Sallie Dun- can is chief clerk and secretary, and In addition are to be found the book- keepers, the stenographers and other help. Mr, Chandler has made places for some of the young people of his race and will provide for others from dine to: tines: GEORGE W. CHANDLER.

THE NIGHTINGALE Richard Barnfield Asit fell upon a day In the merry month of May, Sitting in a pleasant shade Which a grove of myrtles made, Beasts did leap and birds did sing, Trees did grow and plants did spring; Every thing did banish moan Save the Nightingale alone.

Pain is the most prominent cause of misery and many folks wonder why we were not so constructed as to be free from it. While pains are not good company, they are very valuable. It is pain which points out the danger signals to us lest we go without warn- ing to destruction. Pain makes us ee turn loose a hot —_ Bf] poker lest we de- ae stroy our hands; el | it makes ice no wa" 2 | less pleasant for ay the same reason, | 2 Both extremes of i 1 | temperature are } painful because a Meee | they are destrue- aoa Deauate would eat ice cream and drink scald- ing coffee at the same time unless there was pain to warn them. Steel will not long withstand rapid sudden changes, but we have less intelligence and respect for more delicate organs. It is pain which keeps a woman from pinning her hat to her head in- stead of passing it through her hair. Men would stick nails through their ‘skin and trousers, too, in order to hold the latter up but for the pain. The ‘insertion of sharp instruments into the skin would cause bleeding and per- haps infect the body were it not for the pain We would stay up all night in badly ventilated places unless we had head- aches to remind us to rest some and breathe good air. Some people would forget. to eat and keep the body alive unless they had hunger pains. It is true that many are too lazy to listen to the calls of nature until pain compels them to rid the body of noxious material. Pains are not as always true in- dices to conditions nor are they always reliable guides to the locations of the trouble, but they’ are certain indi- cators of some disorders somewhere. Nor are painful sensations necessarily described in terms of pain. There are degrees and expression of pains which are misinterpreted. Disagreeable odors and sights are painful to the individual, but are not interpreted in the same manner. Nev- ertheless they are expressions of men- tal hurts, and serve the same warn- ings. On the other hand, the purely psychic insults are expressed in cer- tain forms of nervous discomfort, as impending fear, insomnia, palpitations or gastric unrest Just as we see in- dividuals who seem to have no sense of physical pain, as evidenced by “hu- man pin cushions,” “fire eaters,” and other freaks, we have very many more people who have lost the sense of mental and moral pain, so that they apparently are capable of doing things which would cause others pain in what we call remorse, It is as essen- tial to have a sensitive moral sense as physical one. In the moral sense we can be educated by the examples of others as well as we ean profit by the experiences of those who have suf- fered from ignorance of physical con- sequences. In moral affairs we can always beat the offense to the bar- tier by being sorry first. OTTUMW.A ITEMS. Sunday was quarterly meeting at the A M..E. church. Rev. Ferribee had charge of the services.

A. J. Booker, M. D. Pain is the most prominent cause of misery and many folks wonder why ‘we were not so constructed as to be free from it. While pains are not good company, they are very valuable. It is pain which points out the danger signals to us lest we go without warn- ing to destruction. Pain makes us a turn loose a hot = Bj] poker lest we de- ey stroy our hands; Ee EEE| it makes ice no eh F less pleasant for (es Ds | the sama reason. 7 Both extremes of | f \ temperature are | painful because ea eee = they are destrue- iis Paueks i ‘would eat ice cream and drink scald- ing coffee at the same time unless there was pain to warn them. Steel will not long withstand rapid sudden changes, but we have less intelligence and respect for more delicate organs. It is pain which keeps a woman from pinning her hat to her head in- stead of passing it through her hair. Men would stick nails through their ‘skin and trousers, too, in order to hold the latter up but for the pain. The insertion of sharp instruments into the skin would cause bleeding and per- haps infect the body were it not for the pain We would stay up all night in badly ventilated places unless we had head- aches to remind us to rest some and breathe good air. Some people would forget to eat and keep the body alive unless they had hunger pains. It is true that many are too lazy to listen to the calls of nature until pain compels them to rid the body of noxious material. Pains are not as always true in- dices to conditions nor are they always reliable guides to the locations of the trouble, but they are certain indi- cators of some disorders somewhere. Nor are painful sensations necessarily described in terms of pain. There are degrees and expression of pains which are misinterpreted. Disagreeable odors and sights are painful to the individual, but are not interpreted in the same manner. Nev- ertheless they are expressions of men- tal hurts, and serve the same warn- ings. On the other hand, the purely psychic insults are expressed in cer- tain forms of nervous discomfort, as impending fear, insomnia, palpitations or gastric unrest Just as we see in- Gividuals who seem to have no sense of physical pain, as evidenced by “hu- man pin cushions,” “fire eaters,” and other freaks, we have very many more people who have lost the sense of mental and moral pain, so that they apparently are capable of doing things which would cause others pain in what we call remorse. It is as essen- tial to have a sensitive moral sense as physical one. In the moral sense we can be educated by the examples of others as well as we can profit by the experiences of those who have suf- fered from ignorance of physical con- sequences. In moral affairs we can always beat the offense to the bar- rier by being sorry first. OTTUMWA ITEMS. Sunday was quarterly meeting at the AM. E, church, Rev. Ferribee had charge of the services.
