ZION CONFERENCE. The twenty-fifth session of the Missouri Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, presided over by Bishop G. L. Blackwell, S. T. D., closed Monday, and made a deal of history by smashing all previous records along the line of real work. Upward of twenty-seven thousand dollars was raised in these nine months as the conference was changed from a fall to a spring conference. The welcome addresses by Dr. J. R. Ransome, Dr. G. T. Moseby, Prof. G. A. Page, Dr. W. J. Thompkins and Mrs. E. M. Kennedy were superb. Ample preparation was made for the care and entertainment of the conference by that tireless worker, Dr. J. W. Carter, the pastor who is making himself felt for good in this city. The main auditorium was beautiful and decorated, the basement was remodeled, a fine lecture and kitchen room, gents and ladies' parlors, store and furnace rooms cement floor and electric lights, made a fine showing for Dr. Carter, and the faithful men and women that stood by him. The waiters and cooks were nice and always at their post of duty. Great lectures and sermons were dispensed by Bishop G. L. Blackwell, Dr. B. G. Shaw, Dr. R. L. King, Dr. J. S. Jackson, Dr. S. D.

Large crowds enjoyed the Conference until the session ended The unity, love and cohesion that exist in the ministerial rank is indicative of better times for the people, and is an incentive for racial uplift. Noticeable among the distinguished guests of the city who visited the Conference were Dra, Ransom, Thomas, Owens, Williams, Allen, H. H. Jones, F. H. Jones, Wells, Treadwell, McLain, Wheeler, Davis, Prof. Keeling, Moseby, Harris and many others. The A. M. E. Zion laity was well represented by Mr. Fields, Abernathy, Covington, Brewer, Mrs. Bledsaw and Dr. Thompkins. Rev. J. W. Carter was elected reporter to the city papers and Dr. T. W. Wallace, editor of the Western Star of Zion, published in St. Louis, was elected reporter to the connectional papers. On the Sabbath, Lawyer Calloway gave a short talk and then that matchless orator and editor Hon. N. C. Crews was introduced, who after paying a beautiful tribute to the Bishop for the profound, classical and eloquent sermon, spoke of the possibilities for Zion in this city, and in high terms complimented, the pastor for the work accomplished and mighty achievements in so short a time. The next session of the Missouri Annual Conference will meet in East St. Louis May 15, 1915. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. In spite of the littleness of some men blinded by jealousy, prejudice and envy, the Negro Business League has enjoyed the most profitable campaign of its entire history. It pleases us to state that the final meeting though marred by a base, illogical and unwise attack, yet turned out a complete success as far as accomplishing our purpose was concerned. Several men of importance remarked openly: "Brother Robinson, we have confidence in you men, we know the League and its work, the man who hits at you hits at the best any Negro can do for the League and race; keep quiet, we will fight it out." It is so sweet to loyal hearts to have kind friends defend us when we have given our best for the cause. The people are to be congratulated because they believe in right and support and endorse our cause. Give us men who are for men and our people's cause is secure. The meeting was addressed by Hon. E. A. Shackleford, Prof. J. Silas Harris, Prof. J. P. King, Hon. W. C. Hueston, and Dr. J. E. Dibble presided. Next Sunday, June 21, volunteers will hold a meeting at Rev. J. C. Ferguson's church between Fourth and Fifth on Virginia street, Kansas City, Kas. Hon. W. C. Hueston, Hon. C. A. Franklin, Prof. Shelton French and the Secretary will be the speakers. Ward & Samlington Investment Co. will open a factory soon employing fifty or more persons. Look up and keep on. "On Men, On." The President announces that the next meeting will take place on the fifth Tuesday of June, when delegates will be selected to attend the National Business League Convention during the month of August. The President desires it announced that the meeting will be in Garrison Center, June 30. Those mentioned for delegates are: F. J. Weaver, president; Mr. J. H. Claybourne, grocer; Prof. J. P. King of Summer High School; Mrs. Bessie Weaver, Mrs. T. A. Chapman, Mrs. Minnie Crostowt, Dr. J. E. Dibble, H. B. Moore and W. C. Hueston. Three men and one woman should go. If Negro ministers stand as did Dr. Ransom in his remarks, uninterrupted success will surely attend all worthy Negro enterprises. Yours for Negro enterprise, E. A. ROBINSON.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY. JUNE 20, 1914. REV. A. W. ROSS. of Leavenworth, Kansas, and the handsome prosperous church he pastors in that city, which has just closed a glorious meeting. HIGHEST DEGREE MASON DIES SUNDAY MORNING. John G. Jones, Old Resident of Chicago and Well Known Attorney, Passes Away After Long Illness— Noted Character in City's History. John G. Jones, Imperial Potentate of the World, died at his residence, 3717 Federal street, early Sunday morning after an illness that had confined him to his home for about a week. Mr. Jones had been ill for two years, and sought medical aid in Europe. Two weeks ago his limbs began to swell but he did not give up until Wednesday. Mr. Jones was a lawyer by profession and as such was one of the most noted characters in the city. He made a specialty of criminal cases, and, being a man of quick temper, he resented any difference of opinion and thereby won the sobriquet of "Indignation," and as "Indignation Jones" he was familiarly known. The degree of Imperial Potentate was conferred on him during the World's Fair by the Potentate from Australia. His office gave him jurisdiction throughout this country, Africa and the Isles of the Sea, authorizing him to confer the Shriners degree. Friction arose and there was a split in the Grand Lodge of Masons, Mr. Jones being recognized by one faction and not by another. He was one of the early members of the Illinois Legislature and the father of the civil rights bill that has been amended from time to time by his successors. Funeral services were held at his late residence Wednesday afternoon. Adelbert H. Roberts was master of ceremonies. Rev. J. C. Anderson, pastor of Quinn Chapel church, was the officiating clergyman. The other speakers were W. Allison Sweeney, Edw. H. Morris. The palebearers were S. B. Turner, W. H. Davis, Walter Farmer, James Brewington, Benjamin Johnson, Albert Morgan. Interment was at Oak wood cemetery. Y.M.C.A. Notes Only $397.51 is still necessary to receive Mr. Rosenwald's check for $25,000.00. Within a week, Mr. C. S. Bishop, General Secretary of the Kansas City Y. M. C. A., goes to Chicago on Association matters. He would enjoy bringing the checkback with him, and if the subscribers rally to this cause as they have in the past, he will have this pleasure. The large audience of men, despite the rain, that turned out to greet Dr. C. B. Miller last Sunday is indicative of the place he holds in the hearts of the Association men. A person after hearing his talk could easily account for his popularity. His earnestness and enthusiasm are contagious. His logic is clear and simple. It is expected that the capacity of the church (1813 Paseo across from the building site) will be taxed to its limit next Sunday when he delivers his second talk about the "Twentieth Century Demands of the Ordinary Man." This Sunday's talk (June 21) will deal with the "Intellectual and Religious Life" of the man. All men are welcome. By special request we reprint this week the excellent article from the pen of Chas. A. Starks entitled "Church Reforms," and announce that it will be followed next week with another "red hot" contribution. —The Editor. of Leavenworth, Kansas, and the LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS. The First Baptist Church has just closed a very successful rally, one of the greatest in the history of the Church, and it is said by many to be the largest ever held by Colored in the town. The Pastor had Rev. W. H. Davis, who assisted him in his great revival to preach one week in a financial camp meeting. The meeting was conducted in a large tent. There JACK JOHNSON "RIGHT." Paris, June 12-Jack Johnson is using the same tactics in preparing for his fight with Frank Moran that he employed in Australia when he was getting into shape to fight Tommy Burns for the championship. "Daddy" Vienne, promoter of the Johnson-Moran contest, called up Johnson's mansion the other morning, intending to speak to Johnson's valet. Instead of the valet it was Johnson who answered the telephone. Vienne was startled to hear Johnson's voice and asked him what he meant by being at home at 10 o'clock in the morning and wondering why he wasn't on the road working out. Johnson explained that he had already covered ten miles that morning. Instead of waiting until near noon to do his road work Johnson is out drilling when dawn breaks. He did the same thing in Australia and it worked well. By the time the average fighter rolls out of ben, Johnson has done half a day's work. Afternoon Teas Popular. The big champion is still conducting his afternoon teas. At these sessions Johnson does some real boxing, shadow fighting, bag punching, tosses the medicine ball, skips the rope and does numerous other things, to the delight of fashionable men and women who pay money for the privilege of seeing him train. It is noticeable that the majority of his followers are Americans. Many delight in the remark, "I knew him in Chicago." Whether they did or not they willingly plank down a five spot, the price of admission. It is persistently rumored that Theodore Roosevelt will be among the spectators at the fight and many have evinced a desire to attend since they heard the quiet "tip" that will not down. Condition a Surprise Johnson's present condition is a surprise to those who can judge. Several days' work has taken off several pounds of superfluous flesh. He has regained much of his speed and stamina, looks trained to the minute and his sparrow shows little of a long period of tenness. All the talk and deduction about his being "all in" fails to make good. Experts agree that he is all there.

J., took place last Wednesday night at the Overall Studio, 2116 Woodland avenue, followed by a reception at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. T. E. Greer, 2126 Woodland avenue. While the guests were assembling Miss Ethel Minor presided at the piano, while Mrs. E. Hendricks rendered a very beautiful solo, "Mine," after which Mrs. Sarah Hamnett sang "Because." The ceremony was performed by Rev. Wm. H. Peck, while the bride and groom stood under a beautiful arch which was made of lilies and ferns. As Miss Ethel Minor of Chicago, played Mendelsohn's Wedding March, Miss Ethel Donally, Miss Melody Tamlin, Miss Ollie Morris, Mrs. Ruby Lockhart, Miss Ethel Harner bearers came slowly down the steps forming an aisle of white ribbon, through which Mr. Martin attended by Mr. P. Hoffman as best man marched. Afterwards came little Maurice Hendricks carrying the wedding ring, followed by the bridesmaid, Miss Ethel Johns of Topeka, Kas. Miss Johns wore a pink crepe de chine gown trimmed with white shadow lace and carried a beautiful bouquet of pink ribbeds and sweet peas. Little Sybie Simons came slowly in the bride carrying a basket filled with rose leaves, scattering them slowly as she moved along. The bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a gown of beautiful ivory satin, the bodice and sleeves of which were real lace and orange blossoms. Her well was arranged in cap effect and held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms. She carried an arm bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. The ribbon bearers wore white crepe de chine gowns. At the reception following the ceremony the house was beautifully decorated with ferns and palms. The dining table held a large bouquet of pink roses and the bride's cake decorated with doves and hearts. The chandelier held wreaths of smilax. Those who attended the hostess were Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. C. Thompson, Mrs. A. Rummons, Mrs. W. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. P. Henderson, Mrs. Fitzpatrick and Miss Katherine Washington Those serving from the punch table were Miss Hazel Miller and Miss Melody Tomlin. The out-of-town guests were Miss Ethel Minor of Chicago, Mrs. Josephine Wickliffe of Hutchinson, Kas.; Miss Ethel Jones of Topeka, Kas.; Miss Daisy N. Peak and Miss Tillie Willing of Paola, Kas. The presents were many and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Martin left at 1:30 for Chicago, where they will spend two days and then to their newly furnished home, 292 Forest street, Jersey City, N. J. The best wishes of the people of Kansas City go with this handsome and happy couple and the Sun joins in wishing them a glorious honeymoon, a happy and prosperous future and many heirs as handsome as their parents.

Varied Life of Thomas Rice Crowned with Success. Advises Negroes to do business on a businesslike scale and be recognized as men. (By Charles A. Starks.) Working his way through school and paying the board of two sisters who were also attending the same institution, is the unusual record of Thomas Willis Rice, who was born in Sweetheme, Tex., December 30, 1885. Mr. Rice has come up along the highways and byways of life experiencing many of the vicissitudes which beset the average person who sets out to achieve success. In this particular case the man has ever set his heart upon attaining the goal of highest manhood and has strengthened himself to challenge every obstacle thrown between him and the mark of his high calling. When a lad in his home town, Thomas went as far as the fourth grade in school, but leaving home and the old fireside with many hopes and some natural misgivings, we soon find him entering the Sam Houston College at Austin, Texas, with, as he has so characteristically said: "Ten dollars and thirty-five cents in money and a suit and a half of clothes." Here the young lad spent some nine years in working, acquiring knowledge and preparing for the battles of life. It was during the last four years that he was of invaluable service to his sisters, whose expenses he defrayed, making it possible for both to graduate and secure exceptionally good positions where they are now prominent factors in the social uplift of their community. Had he done no other noble deed than this, it seems that this one act would recommend him to those who believe in and appreciate the good and beautiful wherever found. Mr. Rice was twenty-four years of age when he left college, and having the right idea training which gave him a practical understanding of some of the conditions he was to meet, we next find him in Oklahoma City as a landscape gardener and engaged in nursery work. He considered nothing too laborious or menial in making an honest living. To ever be his own boss was sweet to him. To be independent and work for himself was the high standard he sought to maintain and that his sisters might never have to enter domestic slavedom for the THOMAS WILLIS RICE. other race as long as he could pre-vent it, urged him on to greater activities which brought profitable results. So the two years he spent in that city may be said to have been successful. But having larger ideas of what life means, we see him leaving Oklahoma to seek greater fields of endeavor, and finally behold him entering our own city, with an "ambition to scrape the skies in the commission business." Quick to think and act, he soon establishes his business on Vine street near Twenty-fourth, and to be brief it took him just six months to be convinced that at least the time for this particular kind of business was not ripe among Colored people. If this constituted a failure, it by no means brought discouragement, for such has no part in his makeup, consequently he immediately enters the Stone-Cement and Grading business. And this has proven his grand success. Here he has stood up for correct and honest business methods and is rated highly among the big concerns with whom he contracts large jobs that vary from fifty to eleven hundred dollars. He has hired as many at twenty-five men whose wages ranged from two to five dollars a day, thus efficiently supplied with labor he has been able to successfully complete any job or contract that he has undertaken. Brayfogel Bros., W. M. Blossom, and William Bros., are some of the big real estate firms that he contracts for, and many others furnish him with gilt edge credentials. All men who take any interest in public life study how to promote the best interests of society and when they have reached some degree of success themselves, they naturally turn their thoughts to helping others, this is what sweetens and sustains, it is the cream of life, affording a rich pleasure that nothing else can give. Hence our hero's prime desire was to put some of his deduction from life into concrete form by writing a book, this he has accomplished and with what success, the public will soon have an opportunity to judge. On matters pertaining to ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE. 5c. the race our contractor-writer speaks with a glowing eloquence and a deep earnestness that is convincing. He evidently has spent much time in thinking over the great problem of the race at home and abroad and the very first thing that comes from his pen suggests to us a verile mind, big with hopes and plans for his people. The book which will appear about the first of July, it titled: "The Afro-American As a Human Savior of the African in Africa," and is pertly subheaded with many timely hints such as "How to Hold the Negro to Self Duty, and Keep Him in Line." "How to Be Honest." "The Opportunity of the Negro in America." We believe that the book is destined to find its way into many a home and will no doubt have some bearing upon the thought life of the people it is designed to uplift. The author, Mr. Thomas W. Rice, lives at 1908 Woodland, and is an active member of the Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City. REV. W. H. DAVIS. One of the foremost Baptist preachers of this state, and a Mason of high degree. · SALISBURY, MO. Sunday was a day of blessing and feasting with Rone Lodge No. 26, Salisbury, Mo., A. F. & A. M. The lodge assembled in the hall at 1:30 p. m. At the call of the W. M. the lodge was turned over to the marshal of the day, Wm. E. Bailley, who formed the procession and started directly to the Second Baptist Church, arriving at the Church at 2:00 p. m. Brother J. H. Evans, member of the lodge at St. Joseph, was master of ceremonies. And after conducting an excellent program he introduced Rev. W. H. Davis of Moberly who preached or delivered an excellent sermon from the sixth chapter of Ephesians, second verse, Subect, "The Whole Armour Coupled with Faith and Strength." For justice, truth and honesty coupled with virtue go to make up true manhood. The modern missions are simply one phase of the effort to make all men share in the interest of human race. The Reverend preached us a logical and soul-stirring sermon. It was indeed a blessing to all present. The Reverend received many high compliments. He is a prominent member of Finney Lodge No. 8, Huntsville, Mo., Rising Sun Chapter No. 47, Royal Arch and S. W. of Star of Hope Commandery of Moberly, Mo. A Unioll Choir, composed of members from three churches rendered excellent music. Brother Evans conducted this excellent program; we were indeed glad to have him with us; a splendid collection was taken up and the lodge then returned to the hall filled with enthusiasm. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Next Sunday Miss Ida M. Beck, lecturer to the Missionary Department of the National Baptist Convention, will speak at Vesper service. All women and girls are invited. Prof. G. Archer Gregg of Western University, spoke on the "Praise and Property of a Good Woman," in a powerful address which he delivered to an interested body of young women at the Vesper service of the Yates Branch W. Y. C. A. last Sunday. Miss Mae Viola Jackson sang a solo with Miss Bouldin as accompanist. Dr. Theo. Smith, proprietor of Kansas City's most successful drug store, has renovated and beautified his place of business at 18th and Tracy until it is indeed a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Dr. Smith has at all times been a positive factor in the business life of Kansas City and the Negroes of this city owe much to him as a tireless and indefatigable worker in the cause of Negro business. Just across the street at 1300 East 18th street, Dr. T. A. Fletcher, Kansas City's rapidly advancing young physician and surgeon, has splendid quarters whose elegance and beauty are a delightful surprise to all who enter. A well appointed office, a commodious, airy hallway, a completely equipped and highly sanitary operating room are a few of the essentials which go to make him a coming foremost physician of the race. A combination like Smith and Fletcher is absolutely irresistible and their very energy as well as originality spells success. DIRECTORY OF THE Negro Business League of Kansas City. F. J.

Golden Steam Dye Works 1605 EAST 18TH STREET When sending your Clothing to be cleaned and pressed have you ever realized, and every clean minded man would shudder with disgust at the thought, that the cloth use to press your suit had just previously been used to press the suit of a man suffering from Disease, Filthy Habits, etc.—the cloth in the interim being wet and wrung out in a pail of probably dirtier water, especially so toward the end of the day's work? THE SHOPPER'S WORKSHOP OLD WAY OF PRESSING To overcome unsanitary methods we have installed an up-to-date Sanitary Steam Press. A garment that passes through this machine is disinfected, as no germs or microbes can exist under a temperature as high as the dry steam we inject. At the same time it removes any odor, takes away the grimy appearance, raises the nap, revives the colors and imparts to the garment that freshness desired by all dressers. "THE MOFF-MAN" NEW WAY OF PRESSING We are Hatters, Tailors and Cleaners. No delay in getting your work. We do everything in our own shop. When you send us your work we do not have to disappoint or delay you, as our equipment is equal to anyone's. We specialize on quality and carefulness, for if it pleases you it please us. We have one of the best Dyeing and Tailor Shops in the city. Everything new and up-to-date. We are prepared to clean any garment, no matter how richly trimmed or flouenced, without injury.

TEMPERANCE NOTES (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) WHY ONE MAN QUIT DRINKING Tramp With Bloodshot Eyes, Bloated Face, Boots Mismated and Filthy Clothing Was Good Lesson. A professional gentleman, who was accustomed to taking his morning glass, stepped into a saloon, and going up to the bar called for whisky. A seedy individual stepped up to him and said: "I say, squire, can't you ask an unfortunate fellow to join you?" He was annoyed by the man's familiarity and roughly told him, "I am not in the habit of drinking with tramps." The tramp replied: "You need not be so cranky and high-minded, my friend. I venture to say that I am of just as good family as you are, have just as good an education, and before I took to drink was just as respectable as you are. What is more, I always knew how to act the gentleman. Take my word for it, you stick to John Barleycorn, and he will bring you to just the same place I am." Struck with his words, the gentleman set down his glass and turned to look at him. His eyes were bloodshot, his face bloated, his boots mismatched, his clothing flithy. "Then was it drinking that made you like this?" "Yes, it was, and it will bring you to the same if you stick to it." Picking up his untouched glass, he poured the contents upon the floor and said, "Then it's time I quit," and left the saloon, never to enter it again. MUCH DRINKING IN COLLEGES President Schurman of Cornell University Has Come Out Flatfooted for Total Abstinence. President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell has come out flatfooted for prohibition in his school of learning. Alcoholism among the students, he says is on the increase, and should be stopped before it goes any further. While President Schurman does not say that drinking among the students inevitably brings disastrous or serious consequences, he does believe that the man who is trying to get the fullest value from his studies should be a total abstainer. Therefore, the leaders among the upper classmen should never be seen in any drinking resort, because they set the example and the fashion for the entire institution, and their word is, in some respects, almost law. If a young student finds that his social position or his personal prestige is strengthened by drinking, he will drink, no matter what the effect is upon his work. The situation at Cornell merely emphasizes the ancient fact that the majority of young men do not drink through any great appetite for liquid allurement, but because it becomes almost an essential part of their social duties. WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST. "Women and children first!" This is the law of the sea: But why not make it the rule wherever a man may be? Let it become the law where roisterers quench their thirst; Emblazon it over the bar-'The women and children first.' But why on the sea alone, or only when dangers rise? See, shining over the bar: "The women and children first!" The world will have fewer cares and there will be few that sigh. And few will sit in the dark and hopelessly wonder why, And few will bemoan their fate or fancy themselves accurat When all men obey the law: "The women -S. E. Kiser in Record Herald, Chicago. Customs Confiscate Wine. The Paris customs authorities recently seized 3,000,000 liters of adulterated wine and threw it into the Canal du Midt. As a result thousands of dead fish have been of late found floating about the Canal and the Porte de Cette. It is estimated that the canal and port have been depopulated of fish for two years at least. Such is the havoc wrought by the adulterated alcoholic beverage intended for human consumption. Meanwhile, the havoc wrought by the inspected alcoholic product continues with all too little hindrance. Just Possible. It is not so many, years since that there was found in Morayshire an ancient iron heutoir (door knocker) of rude and ponderous workmanship which one valiant Scottish antiquary did not hesitate to suggest might have been the very implement which so awoke the echoes of that memorable night at Macbeth's castle, says a writer in the House Beautiful. Physical Peculiarities Robert Boyle, the philosopher, and one of the founders of the Royal society, could never overcome his aversion to the sound of water splashing from a pipe, and he has put on record the case of one of his servants who could never hear a knife sharpened or a sheet of brown paper torn, without bleeding at the gums. Red Tape. Red Tape is the bulwark of interior minds. Language is said to conceal thought; red tape parallels action.

TT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. “I did not know you were keeping store here, else I would have been around to patronize you,’ was what a colored man was over- heard to say to a colored business man a few days ago. This busi- ness man had been at the one stand for several years, but this friend did not know it, He was managing to make a living, but he had not gotten his friends’ trade because he had neglected to let his friends know that he was in business, How many friends were there just like the first? How many dok lars had this colored man lost through neglect to notify the public which includes his friends. ‘The business man did not even resort to the somewhat out-of- date method of scattering circulars. .He had never considered ad- vortising. He, too, knew that white merchants who have built their business from small beginning to large propositions had been large users of advertising space in the newspapers. He did not seem to care to know that the public largely patronized these merchants be- cause they let the community know what they had for sale. He was still in the beginning class, making but little more than a laborer ets. se Mz, Colored Business Man, the opportunity is yours, like that of the white man who began small. ‘The race wants to support you, but wants you to'let the public know what you have.

One evening this week at the close of a very busy day I drew me up at my desk. Before me was scattered a mass of newspapers, all bearing the distinction or My already ‘tired brain sun strained eyes al- ‘most refused the task that was set be- fore.

The Dallas Express came in for @ similar criticism while the Boston Alliance and Conservative Counsellor 1s void of that harmon- fous toning with other parts of the ‘Papers on account of too much front Page advertisement. In others there were similar and even more grievous errors ‘The colored papers that take first rank in typographical cleanliness and ‘mechanical accuracy are the Amster- dam ‘News, Richmond Planet, Kansas ‘City Sun, and New York Age, It is with mo small degree of ap- preciation that I review the merits and demerits of these journals and Journalists, who are struggling as 1 am; for to publish a Negro journal at this period means sacrifice at every stopover. I see written in great red headlines at the head of the mean- est effort in the way of a Negro jour- nal these words, “Self Sacrifice.” Our readers are more sensitive to literary abuse in a race payer than they are to the big dailies. I often have a man come into my office to complain about a stick of matter up- side down in the last issue of an arti- cle that was backed up the wrong way. Now, if he, perhaps, knew that my day had been 36 hours instead of eight in comparison with his, instead’ of criticising he would step in and offer to pay his subscription with the hope that his mite might help a Iit- tle in relieving the situation. For Whenever you see faults standing out conspicuously in Negro papers there is but one conclusion to come to, and that is that finance is oh, so short.

Our Institutions Too Indifferent Re garding Morality. Should Seek Quality of Membership and Not Quantity. By CHAS, A. STARKS,_ In the following article the writer seeks to give Hght rather than cen- sure, and though he makes no war ‘on men or institutions, he 1s uncom- promising in dealing with false and corrupt practices, believing that Truth and Fact when rightly assert- ed get better results than any of the man-made subterfuges. The Church has played no small part in the affairs of mankind and its history dates back in the centuries gone. Its progress has been slow, and at times very painful, superstl- tion has ever hampered it, so that its movements have been so retarded that the day has been pushed back when {ts adherents must wake to a clearer understanding of life, and thus partake of the “glorious liberty of the children of God,” It was said over a century ago by one who knew that: “Time brings more converts than reason,” but in our own time, it has been more un- derstandingly said that: “The time for thinkers has come,” the same ee Ne tae) ~~ re = ein CHAS.

STARKS ‘Tha Versatlio Writek ter The Gun. pendent of doctrines and time hon- ored systems knocks at the portal of humanity,” seeking “to make ptain to benighted understanding the way of salvation.” We believe that this day is upon us and now Is the ac- cepted time. The thoughtful will read the ffol- lowing serious reflections and will weigh and consider. The heedless will go on and continue to walk in the beaten paths, have no glory but that of unprogressive custom till time small bring them at the throne of Truth where sooner or later “all must plant themselves.” CHURCH MEMBERSHIP. One of the things that is being much discussed is: the decline of membership in Churches, True enough they sll boast of increases, but aa attendance at any of these will discover a lack of verification when one sees the meager audiences that greet the Minister. ‘This {s aver. agely so, which leads us to conclude that large memberships chiefly con- sist in so much ink used in writing down names, Also that there is something fundamentally wrong some- where, May it not be in our lack of Power to demonstrate the spiritual over the material or the unwilling ness of the Churches to insist on a higher standard of life? An examina- tion of thelr mode of securing mem: bers will perhaps reveal one of the Church's “errors” in trying to gain qualified Christians to its ranks. | First a frenzy is worked up in the emotions, then Gospel of intimidation, then the invitation which nets gen- erally two or three “converts.” Then all are asked to stand, those who are members of the Church are command: ed to sit down and the sinners and hon-members are requested to remain standing, this makes them the direct object of persuasion, remonstrance and coercion. Willing to please and be ed they go up without any pre- vious thought of the step, (often) and ‘ot of thelr OWN VOLITION, Their names are taken with dispatch and short mumblings of “an experience” and the thing is over with. This may be diplomatic, but “it is not Christ- like; it may be effective but it has Ro permanency, This is shown in the jack of understanding on the part of the “enlister,” his subsequent indif. ference to his church, and his general unfruitfulness. Why not make the Church so beautiful in love. So far reaching in spiritual good that men will be attracted unto it by virtue of their neen and the ability of the Church to supply it. This is best brought about by seeking in mem- ‘bership, QUALITY AND NOT QUANTITY. ‘The Negro’s tenacity in holding on to outgrown beliefs is at once admir- ‘able and reprehensible; admirable, be- cause there is a fine grain of loyaity in bis make up and to bis teachings. Reprehensible, because of his unwill- Ingness to advance when reason leads the way. This is none the less true of all races, Reason shows that qual. ity counts in inembersh{p more so than quantity.

It cloquence and the power o ‘speech could make a Church might; for good, then our Churches would be the most advanced in the world. ‘The Negto's native genius would allow this. But such te mot the ease. Love Harmony and Understanding these are the elements that worketh good The Negro preacher in his own pe cullar way has no superior in orators, Elucidation of text and apt illustra tion, ‘This is locally true. Whether it be a highly temperamental Keal- ing or a deep resourceful Bacoto. Whether it be a concise and a per- fect illustrating ‘Thomas or a powor- ful and soaring Bowren, ‘The stabil- ity of the Church by no means lies solely in the direction of any type of orator or preacher but in an in- telligent laity and as he we have al- ready sald: Love, harmony and un- derstanding. One of the last com mands the Master left His Disciples was ‘Love ye one another.” He knew the Importance of this in promoting God's noblest idea. In music, har- mony’ is the perfect blending of sounds One discord disturbs is per- fection. So in Church unity, one bad element has a contrary. effect and breaks the religious and social har- mony of Its life, however, we should learn by understanding to link the broken chains of our Church system with Truth’s indissoluble welding. We have shown how the preacher has advanced in the elucidation of bis text, We might add that the Church has made wonderful and solid strides In sacred muste, but in Churen Unity the one thing ‘that best expresses love, our showing has been poor. Un- derstanding is the quality to recog. nize the ever presence of Divine love, could every Christian realize this Truth and act accordingly. In har- mony, discord, and all disturbing ele. ments would be banished, there would be no desire to practice “unChristian comment” talk about one’s neighbors and doing ev!l, ‘The consclousness of God excludes all but harmony. SOME DOCTRINAL HINTS. It we may even appear to criticize Chureh doctrine it would be along the line of accepted customis, First, we are not practical enough in our re- ligion, the writer belfeyes in enthu. slasm but that enthusiasm should be m doing good and not in mere sing- {ing and shouting. Talk to the aver- age church member about being good (demonstrating it) and. he will tell you “I don't care how good you are, if you haven't got faith you ain't noth. Ing.” We ask when was there ever a Sood thought or a good act that God afd not inspire st? Speaking of man It Is said: (in Job) “the inspiration of ‘the Almighty giveth him understand. Ing.” It seems here that it is good that inspires faith, This much, Good. Whether, we have faith or not does not alter this truth, ‘To seek to dem- onstrate good is the duty of man. The very fact that evil Good's “sup. positional opposite” 1s so apparent teaches us that we are not in danger of belng too good. As an excuse for not being moral many say: “We are saved by faith, as an apology for not being intelligent and knowing some- thing about thelr God they say “His ways are unsearchable.” Ignoring the fact that “God Is all” “and whom to mow aright is life eternal.” Accept It as the Truth. A Chicago working girl has become & heroine by refusing to marry a capt tallst, "am all xy aged father has to lean upon in his declining years.

Their popularity abroad as well as at home was shown from the many delightful social affairs given in their honor not the least of which was the Saturday afternoon reception tendered them by their hostess. --- The prenuptial dancing party given by Mesdames Crane and Mitchell in compliment to Miss Olga Overall, Miss Grace Thomas and Mr. Henry Martin Tuesday, June 9, at Lyric Hall, was one of the prettiest among the many affairs given in their honor, the hostesses receiving in* their usual gracious manner. Upon the arrival of the guests of honor who had been unavoidably detained until a late hour, the Orchestra merrily struck up "Here Comes the Bride." The dancing for a moment ceased—the guests with one accord surrounded the guests of honor and they were received with a warmth of feeling uncommon upon such occasions. The hall was beautifully decorated with palms, ferns and cut flowers—dancing was continued until a late hour—delicious punch was served throughout the evening. MADE HIS ENEMIES FAMOUS Scotch Reviewers Are Known Now Chiefly From Poet They Mercilessly Abused. One vivid impression left on the mind by the revival of the savage attacks by which Keats was assailed in the Quarterly and Blackwood, is that criticism has at least become urbane. Apart from the rashly confident contempt for what the world now recognizes as great poetry, these early nineteenth century reviewers cannot be forgiven the brutality of their treatment of a young man whose only of fense had been to publish a book of verse. Fancy a critic nowadays taunting an author with the fact that he had been an apothecary, bidding him go "back to the shop," and at the same time protesting that personal feeling towards such a person would be as out of place as towards vermin. It is difficult to understand how men who wrote in this strain could be the accepted literary censors of any age. The fact is that behind this savage violence and insensibility lurked racial prejudice. It was, as Byron recorded, a case of "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers." The one thing that could not be forgiven to John Kents was his cockney birth. Yet time has brought in its revenues. A hundred years have gone; and the only claim to remembrance of these confident Scotch reviewers is the curious interest that is reflected on them by the immortal memory of the poet whom they used so despitefully. Monstrosity Among Newspapers. Those who object to the widespread newspaper may see the apotheosis of their bate noir in the museum at Aix-la-Chapelle—the only existing copy of the "Illuminated Quadruple Constellation," published in New York in 1859. Happily this monstrosity did not survive the first issue, for its pages measure eight and one half feet by six feet and each contains 13 columns, 48 inches long. By way of comparison, it may be mentioned that the smallest newspaper in the world is the Mexican El Telegrama, with pages four inches square. Lee's First Impressions of War. Robert E. Lee, as captain of engineers, arranged the American batteries when the United States forces landed at Vera Cruz in 1847. Lee's brother, a naval lieutenant, served one of the guns, and here are Lee's first impressions of war: "Whenever I turned my eyes reverted to him, and I stood by his gun whenever I was not wanted elsewhere. Oh! I felt awfully, and am at a loss what I should have done had he been cut down before me. . . . He preserved his usual cheerfulness, and I could see his white teeth through all the smoke and din of the fire." SMITH LEADS OTHERS FOLLOW Conspicuously before the public's eyes is Theo.

I want you to please send by mail 3 bottles of shampoo, 3 boxes of hair grower and 2 boxes of pressing oil. I like the remedy just fine; I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair; it seems to be helping it greatly. MRS. ANNA BRUNER. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20, 1913. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations, but none gave me good results until I used Madam Dabney's XXth Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out—has no dandruff—is soft and pretty. Three of these girls are attending Wendell Phillips School, Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the XXth Century Preparation in my house.

T IS a curious fact that America should have produced no better architects for domestic buildings than were George Washington and Thomas Jefferson—such as were Samuel McIntyre of Salem, Charles Bulfnch of Boston and McComb of New York—rarely have they been equaled.

Entrance from every sentimental claim—claims of those who love and those who hate, alike—there is a brilliant coterie of architects of great inventive and constructive genius, in America, who even prefer to the Anglo-Saxon sense of home the "New Art" and the Roman bathhouse sorts of dwelling, the latter after the manner of Alma-Tadema's paintings.

Freed from the attempt to invent an American style, they deserve credit in that they come so near to their goal, considering also the commercial distractions and blandishments which interfere in America. It would seem that the architect of the modern farmhouse illustrated had not taken time enough to work out his adaptation of the Mount Vernon motive. The attenuated posts have nothing to support, the portico is carelessly attached, and the windows were inserted wherever a necessity for one seemed to exist. It may be that the inspiration for this farmhouse was not derived from Mount Vernon at all, but from some mediocre farmhouse of that decadent period in America inaugurated with President Jackson in 1829—the work of jacks-of-all-trades, which is in no sense a prototype of American renaissance, and ought not to be perpetuated. The colonial carpenters, who often worked without a master spirit, possessed a fair knowledge of the orders, though Thomas Jefferson said there was none who could draw them accurately. Architects affect one another. Interchange of views makes for a consensus of opinion, and just at present there is great partiality for the long, low, horizontal line, the Spanish roof and the ubiquitous pergola effect, with unduly lofty windows upon the first floor and unduly short ones on the second. But in spite of these professional fetishes, Mr. Aymar Embury succeeds in producing a beautiful architectural composition (see river elevation of the house at Bedford Hills, New York). American architects will give you, however, if you prefer it, snug home atmosphere, as exemplified by the cottage at Bronxville, New York, designed by Mr. William A. Bates. So much for the architectural integument; but when it comes to the question of animal comfort, the scientific and hygienic achievement, the economy of space and of time, and the elimination of labor in the household, then, indeed, the American architect becomes an infallible counsellor for the prospective home-builder. No American cottage, however humble, is considered quite a hygienic proposition for all-the-year-round, occupancy without a good, dry cellar, at least seven feet in the clear, and with a dry cellar and plaster celling. Some product of tar is usually employed for coating the exterior of the wall beneath the ground level. An adequate underground drain, constructed either of pipes or broken stone, leading to some natural watercourse or low land away from the building, is always provided, if it is possible. In the middle of the cellar is placed the heating apparatus, whether for warm air, steam, hot water or the vacuum system, from Cherry Raising Has Brought Success and Joy to Colorado Woman Horticulturist.

HOUSE AT BEDFORD HILLS, NEW YORK rich, sandy loam The trees must be headed low, the limbs must be cut when they are small or the tree will bleed to death; one must distingush between the leaf bud and the fruit blossom; forethought and care are necessary from first to last. A Colorado woman who has made a success of cherry culture writes of it as follows, remarks the Country Gentleman: "There is no lonesomeness or lack of company, even if one is alone, in a home like this. Every bird becomes A GEORGE WASHINGTON'S HOME AT MOUNT VERNON THE HOTEL COTTAGE AT WOODMERE, LONG ISLAND which the heat naturally rises to the living-rooms. A cold store is often partitioned off by a non-conducting wall in the cellar, while a smaller cold store for kitchen convenience is contrived by ventilating a series of shelves in a pantry with a north exposure, off the kitchen. The coal-bins are invariably located in the cellar, into which the coal—Lehigh anthracite is the best—is easily conveyed by portable chutes which the coal merchants carry on their delivery wagons. It would be considered an extravagance to build lean-tos or outside buildings to the economic cottage, however picturesque they can be made. The laundry also is placed in the cellar, for economic reasons, and is lighted by an area window. Although there is still much wasted room in an American cellar, the advantages PERPETUAL MOTION IS SOLVED? An article in a daily paper telling of a cash offer by a French engineering society for a successful perpetual motion machine planted in the studious head of J. P. Machezis, a native of Lithuania, an idea which, he says, has finally worked out, according to a Grand Rapids correspondent of the New York World. It was in 1906 that he read of the offer. He began thinking, and in the end concluded that he could build a machine. He took a wooden soap box and worked out his model. Nothing elaborate resulted, but his contraption worked, he says. He admits that it did not run "perpetually," because, as he explains, there was too much friction of the unplanned parts, which were only loosely hung together. It did operate long enough, however, and without other motive than its own momentum, to convince Machezis that he was on the right track. After dismantling his model so that no one could steal his secret he did nothing for six years but think, think, think. Not once did he pick up a tool to put any of his theories in concrete form, but he got them on paper and kept them in his head. He altered his model and expanded on his original idea. He added more uprights and decreased the number of laterals. He decided to lengthen his guides and make them out of aluminium and he added a couple of feet to the length of the machine. At last his thoughts reached. the stage where they commanded actual construction to start, and he began in 1912. Now, after six years of thought and study and COTTAGE AT BRONXVILLE, NEW YORK a friend and even the trees seem to vie with each other as to which shall carry the greatest load of fruit to maturity. Harmony and peace are everywhere apparent, instead of the fault-finding and dissatisfaction one gets accustomed to in dealing with humanity. With the return to spring all things are new. One may blot out everything in the past but pleasant memories and begin life anew.

The kitchen, therefore, has to be as few steps from the dining room or dining table as may be, yet so perfectly separated that smells or smoke from the cooking cannot invade the living part of the cottage. Every American cottage has to be screened during the summer with bronze-wire screens to doors and windows. The bronze-wire will not rust. The mosquito has been largely exterminated by scientific measures for its destruction; but files and other insects abound, while the screens also arrest the entrance of cockroaches and mice, and so enable the doors to remain open indefinitely. A bathroom with a vitreous tile floor, and painted walls with rounded corners like those of a hospital ward, is always specified. The attic or gable rooms of a small cottage are not comfortable in summer, as a rule; but by insulating the roofing with various $n$-conducting materials that are to be had, they are made much more useful than formerly, to the advantage of the temperature in the second-story rooms. The modern American cottage lacks chimneys—adequate chimneys, not at all for use, because the entire warming and cooking apparatus requires only two or three flues, but solely for appearance, the imperative fourth dimension. People pretend to understand this mathematical curiosity which exists in theory only, while they seem unable to appreciate the fourth dimension but first principle of successful architecture, without which we build the house in vain—the dramatic note." two years of actual work, Machezis has his machine all but completed. The machine is five feet four inches high and ten feet long. The inventor will say nothing regarding the operation of his machine for fear his secrets will be stolen. He intends to take patents out soon so that he will be safe in giving the public the details. He is firm in the belief that his product will have a big commercial value, developing horse-power enough to drive factory machinery and do all the work now done by the stationary engine. He says he will explain its operation in detail and bare all his secrets to any one interested in it. All that he will say now is that the throwing of a lever will start the machine, and that a large steel spring, so devised as to uncoll and coll alternately, is its power, and these are obvious facts. The machine as it stands now does not represent the inventor's entire idea, there is much wood in it that will be supplanted by metal tubing and rods. Machezis is thirty-two years old, and has been in the United States since 1899. "The-way to make a hit with her is to tell her that you are unworthy of her." "She knows it.

The inexpensive cottage does not concern itself much about servants. A century ago, someone from Great Britain, visiting our first chief justice (John Marshall), said that he saw no household servants in that gentleman's home, which was indeed rare in colonial times, and in a state like Virginia. But servants are almost a prohibitive luxury in the small American cottage of today. Competent young women command $40 per month. An English writer says: "It might with rea- that household servants are the line of between the rich and poor in America, be not more exactly drawn at such mental and physical comforts in life as to health. The kitchen, therefore, is few steps from the dining room or as may be, yet so perfectly separated or smoke from the cooking cannot inling part of the cottage.

Fold a bath towel into four double layers and lay the buttoned fastening face down on it, and the iron will move as easily over them as over the buttonhole; also in ironing embroidery on the back use the towel on top of the ironing board, press the design on the wrong side and it will stand out much better than when the towel is not used. FOR THOSE FOND OF ALMONDS Desirable Dessert Dish That Is Made With the Addition of Gelatin and Sugar. One cupful of sweet almonds, blanched and chopped fine, half a box of gelatin soaked two hours in half a cupful of cold water. When the gelatin is sufficiently soaked put three tablespoonfuls of sugar into a saucepan over the fire and stir until it becomes liquid and looks dark; then stir the chopped almonds thoroughly into it; turn it out on a platter and set aside to get cool. When the sugar and almonds mixture has cooled break it up in a mortar, put in a cup and half of milk and cook for ten minutes. Now beat together the yolks of two eggs with a cupful of sugar and add to the cooking mixture; add also the gelatin until smooth and well dissolved; take from the fire, set in cold water and beat until it begins to thicken; add two quarts of whipped cream and turn the whole carefully into molds, set on ice to become firm. Spongecake is then placed around the mold or lady fingers, halved if more convenient. Onion In Salad. Onion is indispensable to a good salad, but its presence should never be obvious. The best way to conceal it is to rub the sides of the dish with a section of an onion, and not to put any onion in the salad at all. Another way is to use half a teaspoonful of onion juice in the salad dressing. This is for the French dressing, of oil and vinegar, salt and pepper. The juice is obtained by grating the onion. It is well to set aside a small grater for this purpose, as the onion will cling to it. Grate the juice into a saucer and use no more than a half teaspoonful to a small salad. Carrots. After scraping four carrots, cut into long slices. Cover with cold water for half an hour. Then put them into a saucepan of stock and allow them to simmer until tender. Drain and pass through a colander. Beat two eggs until light and add them to the carrots with a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper, onion juice if desired, and a tablespoonful of sweet cream. Fill into timbale or ordinary cups. Let them cook in a pan of boiling water for twenty minutes, the cups covered with greased paper. Turn from the cups, garnish with parsley or freshly cooked peas and serve hot. Wedding Cake One pound of butter and same of sugar, thoroughly mixed together; 1 pound of eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately, putting the whites in first, with the butter and sugar, and blend thoroughly. Add 2 pounds of raisins, 3 of currants, teaspoonful each of clove and mace, 1 tablespoonful each of cinnamon and allspice, $\frac{1}{2}$ cup molasses, 1 pound of pastry flour, teaspoonful of cream tartar, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonful soda, dissolve in little water, the yolks of the eggs, and $\frac{1}{4}$ pound of citron, out fine, and added last, when in pans. Makes the good-sized loaves Bake eight hours in a slow oven. Bean Pot Roast Two pounds of chuck steak, one cupful carrots cut into small pieces, one cupful potatoes cut into small pieces, one and one-fourth cupfuls sliced onion. Cover the meat with boiling water; place cover on bean pot and let meat cook in a moderate oven for two hours, then add vegetables, cut in half-inch cubes, season to taste. Cook until vegetables are tender; about an hour and a half; then serve, pouring a sauce over the meat made from one cupful of the liquid in which meat was cooked, thickening with flour. California Nut Cake One cupful of sugar, one egg, one half cupful of butter, two thirds cupful of sweet milk, two and one-half cupful of flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one-half level teapoonful soda, one-half cupful chopped raisins, one-half cupful chopped walnut meats. A little cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Save a little* flour out to mix raisins and nuts. Bake in cup cake tins. Hickory nuts or butternuts make a richer cake. Rye Bread. Pour 2 cupfuls of scalded milk on 2 tablespuffs each of sugar and butter and 1 teaspoonful salt. When lukewarm add 1 yeast cake dissolved in $ \frac{1}{2} $ cupful lukewarm water, then add 2 tablespuffs of caraway seeds and 6 cupfuls rye flour. Toss on a slightly floured board and knead in $ \frac{1}{2} $ cupfuls of entire wheat flour. Cover and let rise until it has doubled its bulk. Shape into loaves, put in greased pans, cover, again let rise and bake. Fish Turbot. Here is a nice recipe called fish turbot: Steam a white fish until tender, take out bones and sprinkle with pepper and salt. For dressing heat one pint of milk and thicken with one-fourth pound of flour. When cool add two eggs, one-fourth pound butter and season with onion and parsley; put in baking dish a layer of fish, then a layer of sauce until full. Cover with crumbs and bake one-half hour. Turbana of Fish. Take slices of halibut about one-half inch thick, cut into fillets, dip in a mixture of one-quarter melted butter, the juice of one lemon, a little onion juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Roll up like a little rosette, fasten with a toothpick and roast 20 minutes. Serve with cheese sauce and potato splkes. To Prevent Jam Burning To prevent jam or marmalade or anything of that kind from burning butter the bottom of the preserving pan before putting the contents into it. This also prevents them boiling over. French Chef's Advice. Soup should never be salted while cooking until it has been thoroughly skimmed, as salt prevents the scum from rising. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Hampton institute is an undemonational school for the training of teachers and leaders in agriculture, the trades and community work. Dr. George P. Phenix, vice-principal of Hampton institute, has said: "Moral qualities, which in the aggregate make strong character as well as economic efficiency, are developed through the combination of industrial work by day and academic work by night, as they could not be by either alone, and longer hours are made possible in the trade, agricultural and domestic science departments. "Every student in the trade school has one hour of study early in the morning, eight hours of work in the trade school, and two hours of academic work in the evening period. This makes 11 hours a day, outside of which he must get time for meals, the care of his room, religious services and recreation. Yet the students gain in health and skill, in scholarship and in character." To ambitious negro and Indian students, the following courses are of fered: Academic-normal, covering THE FASHION OFFICE Students Learn Art of Dressmaking. four years of work for those who are preparing to become teachers; an agricultural course of four years; and a trade course of four years in any one of thirteen trades, including building industries as well as such indoor trades as tailoring and printing. In the agricultural courses the Hampton school has the opportunity of learning the best modern practise in field, garden, orchard, greenhouse, horse barn, dairy and poultry houses. Hampton sends out "agricultural missionaries." Mere bigness has never been a goal at Hampton: Every department has grown in natural response to the pressing needs of the races receiving training. Today, between 1,200 and 1,300 students, including some 40 Indians, are enrolled. The industrial accident insurance commission of California has published a decision that it is illegal to reduce wages to meet the cost of insurance against the compensation risk on employes. Plans for an orphan asylum to accommodate 400 negro children and to be erected adjoining the estate of August Belmont at North Babylon, L. I. are being discussed. Mr. Belmont also has a big place at Hempstead, L. I. The promoters of the orphan asylum are said to be negotiating for the purchase of the Edwards farm of 100 acres owned by the receivers of the Dean Alvord company. The principal feature of this farm is an extensive nursery farm. There are several buildings on the tract and these, it is expected, will be remodeled for the use of the negro orphans. The general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States endorsed the work of the Anti-Slaon league, the National Temperance union and the Woman's Christian Temperance union. According to the report of Rev. Mr. McCleland, $247,000 was expended last year by the freedman's board, an increase of $34,000 over the preceding year. The money was spent for evangelistic and educational work in the four negro Presbyterian synods in the South in which 45 new schools were erected. A full report of the sixth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in Baltimore a few weeks ago, appears in the Crisis, the magazine published by the association. The meeting was addressed by many prominent friends of the colored people, and disclosed interesting facts and figures about the recent progress of the race. The same steam engine has been pumping water out of a coal mine in England for more than 100 years. Tentative Denial from Mr. Glenn "I note," stated J.

Fitzpatrick in a bureau of labor statistics bulletin. The negro population of Missouri is 157,452 men, women and children, with 43,960 living in St. Louis, 23,566 in Kansas City, 4,249 in St. Joseph, 1,995 in Springfield, 801 in Joplin, 1,871 in Sedalia, 1,846 in Hannibal and the others scattered over the state, including the few that now own farms and others engaged in husbandry. Out of the 280,000 farms in Missouri approximately 3,753 are owned by negroes. They range in size from 3 to 260 acres and are worth, land, buildings, live stock, and everything else on them, $77,768,750, using the average value of a Missouri farm $74,405 as the basis for computation. The farm of the average Missouri negro farmer, just like that of his white brother, the bulletin says, is well kept and well stocked, and is very productive, growing wheat, corn, oats, grasses, watermelons, strawberries, peaches, apples and all other food necessities. Negroes raise poultry for the market, sell eggs, milk and butter, have beehives and plenty of honey, produce sugar cane which, in fall, they boil for sorghum molasses. Their daily menu is made of the best things they produce, being far superior to that of the average city negro, who half the time is out of work and has no money to buy food. The life of the negro farmers is full of comforts and joy. In winter most of them are well housed, warm, snug and well fed. Free fuel wood furnished by the timbered lands in and around their farms does away with coal bills. Every Sunday there is chicken, sweet potatoes, honey, dumplings, apples, nuts and other dalties, with strawberries or watermelon in summer and turkey or duck and mince or pumpkin pie in winter. Fresh eggs and hickory smoked sugar cured ham is an ordinary breakfast. Nearly every negro farmer of Missouri has a bank account, and his profits allow him to take a vacation in St. Louis, Kansas City, or some other metropolis once or twice a year. He owns three or four suits of clothes, with shoes and hats to match. A superintendent's report for the Washington's colored schools contains the following suggestive paragraph: "No other school population can present greater need for, nor a riper field for, this early training. Almost helplessly weighted with centuries of unfavorable conditions in the past, and with present environment largely inimical to proper moral and intellectual growth, many of the homes are not fitted t ogive to these tender years that care and training which insure bent to noble and useful manhood and womanhood. There is much due to private and society effort to supply this need, and it did much in directing the attention of congress to this great need and toward securing the public provision made. This public provision, though small, is large in significance, in the hope of larger provision it permits for the future." War in the Balkans closed the Dardanelles, which stopped the export of Russian wheat, injuring Naples' maoaroni trade. Staining wood with beautiful colors while the tree is still standing is undergoing experiment. The dye is introduced at the root, and some trees take up three gallons of the coloring fluid in two days. If introduced when the sap is flowing most freely the results are quick and very marked. The colored tree is cut and used for interlor or other woodwork and furniture. The experimental work conducted by the Canadian government in regard to the manufacture of peat proved so successful that there are now two private concerns producing peat, one at Alfred, Ont, and the other at Farnham, Que. It is said that the peat manufactured by the Canadian government is satisfactory for grates and also good for cooking. State authorities of Colorado are making a thorough study of minerals having or supposed to have radio activity, and authorities now assert that every curative mineral spring in Europe can be duplicated in that state.

The Negro Business League held its last official campaign meeting last Sunday night and there is not the least doubt that some good has been accomplished by its efforts. Many of the speakers have worked faithfully and effectively, but I do not think that the League can hug itself with joy or boast of a wonderful progress. Much of the work done in this campaign will have to be done over in the next, for changing hundreds and thousands of unthoughtful Negroes from their tendency to ignore patronizing their own business and professional men is no light and easy task. The plans for the next campaign should be studied, discussed and adopted and the most capable as well as effective speakers chosen. Three mornings after the last meeting of the campaign the writer stopped to speak to an old friend, a preacher. This preacher has been in the ministry for forty years, has preached several hundred sermons, and received thousands of dollars from the members of his race so that in his declining years and through their old has been able to purchase a home "as a shelter from the storm." This particular morning the preacher was having some repairs done to the porch of his home, an ordinary building, and the writer was surprised to see a white carpenter on the job. There are many prominent men of our race who talk race talk and affect race pride, but when it comes to spending their money for industrial or professional service, they always claim our people without exception are incapable, unreliable and altogether untrustworthy. But some peope are thinking. VINE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. Mrs. Chas, Harris is quite ill and we hope for her recovery soon....

Games were the features of the evening. The hostess served ice cream and cake in the Choirs' colors. Morning and evening services were well attended. One addition was made. The pastor's five-minute talk to the young people was indeed grand. The doctor aid many good things, among which was that if the Negro was relegated to the rear by all the Nations of the earth, the reason was that he relegated himself. Let us strive by the help of the Lord to place our feet on higher ground. MOON'S PRODUCE MARKET. I am fully prepaired to bring the producer and consumer face to face.
