VOLUME VIII. NUMBER 40. The Lowest TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE PRINCIPAL IS INS AT IMPRESSIVE Governor Henderson, Northern Tr of Friends of School Witness of Successor to Booker T on Memorable Occ TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE'S NEW PRINCIPAL IS INSTALLED AT IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES Governor Henderson, Northern Trustees and Thousands of Friends of School Witness the Inauguration of Successor to Booker T. Washington on Memorable Occasion. Tuskegee, Ala., May 25.—Robert Russia Moton, former Commandant at Hampton Institute, Virginia, was installed formally as principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute today under circumstances particularly impressive. This being the first installation of a principal of Tuskegee Institute, the interest of the whole nation both white and black was focused on Tuskegee. For several weeks friends of Principal Moton and old friends of the late Dr. Washington had been sending in letters indicating their intention to be present. For more than a week before the commencement exercises began these visitors started their pilgrimage to Tuskegee. Special cars came, not only from Montgomery, Opelika and other points in the state, but also from Chicago, from Virginia and other points north. The Inaugural Exercises in the afternoon were preceded by an imposing procession. In the line of march were Southern and Northern Trustees of the characterized Commencement at Tuskegee Institute. The Sermon was preached last Sunday, by Dr. C. B. Wilmer, Rector, St. Luke's Episcopal church, Atlanta, Ga. The Officers of the Tuskegee Institute have followed the custom inaugurated by the late Principal of the Institute, Dr. Booker T. Washington, who had this sermon preached each year by a Southern white man. Peculiar Incident. For the first time in the history of the Tuskegee Institute, the two Commencement Speakers having the highest honors were children of members of the Tuskegee Institute Faculty. The Salutatorian was Clarissa Mae Scott daughter of Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the School, and the Valedictorian was Charles H. Gobson, Jr., son of Charles H. Gobson, Sr., Chief Accountant of the Institute. Inaugural Exercises. The afternoon exercises on com THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S LIBRARY DEAN VAUGHAN OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY.

Institute, the Principal-elect, Officers and Teachers, Representatives of Colleges and Universities, Visitors, Members of the Tuskegee Institute Alumni Association, and the Graduating Class which followed the Student Body. Beginning on the Tuskegee Institute Batilion Grounds, the students formed their line of march, joined in front of the Carnegie Library by the Faculty, Trustees, Visitors and Alumni. The line then threaded its way down through the Tuskegee Institute campus by way of White Hal, Douglass Hall, up the hill by Pinehurst and then in a straight line to the Chapel. mencement day opened with a general demonstration of as many industries as could be staged on the chapel platform. At the blowing of the whistle a number of students came on just as they go to work every day, wearing their overalls or work uniforms. At the sounding of the second whistle all set to work. The blacksmith proceeded to shoe a horse, which was also on the platform, while the veterinarian dressed the horse's teeth. A young woman on another part of the stage was cooking a meal, another was washing a waist, another was ironing, the carpenter was roofing a house. Booker T. Washington Missed. In reviewing the line of march, and indeed throughout the Commencement Exercises, for that matter, the older teachers present, and those visitors who frequent Tuskegee could miss the presence of Dr. Washington. They missed his promptness in heading the line, and his presence in carrying things forward. This was not only noticed particularly on commencement Sunday, but even before the season began. It is a practice of the graduating class to form a line and march through the campus, singing "Auld Lang Syne." Many evenings while they were rehearsing this song the thought of the absence of him who had so often presided at Commencement Season and who enjoyed so much the Senior Exercises brought ears to the eyes of teachers and students at the very thought of having the season without him. However, as far as carrying out the general program is concerned, and having everything-in its place and everything on time the spirit of the man was still at Tuskegee Institute.

A young woman on another part of the stage was cooking a meal, another was washing a waist, another was ironing, the carpenter was roofing a house, students from the canning factory were putting up sweet potatoes, another milked a cow, and so on, representing some twenty odd industries. This marked the beginning of the afternoon exercises on the one hand and closed the students' part of the program, on the other. After the singing of the "Anvil Chorus" by the Institute choir, the inaugural exercises began. Formal Address Made. Dr. Hollis Burke Frissell, principal of the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial Institute, made the first formal address of the afternoon. Dr. Frissell has been principal of Hampton Institute since the death of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, under whom both Washington and Moton were trained. Dr. Frissell was a teacher at Hampton Institute during the time that both Washington and Moton were pupils in that far-famed institution. He paid an eloquent tribute to the principal-elect, and prophesied an administration which should seek to carry out the methods which had been so successfully put in operation by Booker T. Washington. Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, Quindaro, Kas, spoke on behalf of institutions for colored youth. Dr. Kealing is one of the most eloquent speakers of the Negro race, and he lived up to his reputation in the address delivered today. Dr. Moton Presented. The principal-elect was presented by William G. Willcox, of New York City, a trustee of the Institute, who is president of the New York board of education. He was greeted as he rose to speak with enthusiastic applause which came from students, teachers and the large number of visitors present. It seemed really like welcoming an old friend, because Major Moton is not only well known at Tuskegee Insti- KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JUNE 3. 1916. tute, but has been considered in a way as a part of the Tuskegee Institute for many years. Moreover, he had been at Tuskegee Institute for the last week or so working among both students and teachers, and those who had not known him had come to consider him as one of the Tuskegee Institute big family, and had well adopted him by the time he was inaugurated. Principal Moton's address was listened to attentively. He pledged himself to carry out the policies inaugrated by Booker T. Washington, and spoke in part as follows: Enthusiastically Greeted. "While the outlook was never more hopeful, the negro problem is not yet solved," said Major oMton. "While there is a great encouragement in the fact that 70 per cent of the Negro population can read and write it is not sale to assume that 70 per cent of the Negroes are really and truly educated. Our progress in this country has been wonderful and we have every reason for rejoicing; but shiftlessness, disease, inefficiency and crime are entirely too prevalent among our people. Color and conduct still count in this question, but let us remember that conduct counts more than color." Major Moton reminded his hearers that in his last talk from the same platform Dr. Washington spoke on the importance and value of teamwork. "If teamwork was necessary in this school under the leadership of Dr. Washington," he continued, "how much more imperative it is now that we have not the help and inspiration of his words and presence. Must Maintain Same Spirit. "If we are to be true to the great and sacred trust, if we are to carry out the aims and purposes of Booker T. Washington, we must each cherish and maintain the spirit which has always permeated the life and work of this school—the spirit of self-forgiveness—the spirit of service and sacrifice—the Tuskegee spirit—the spirit of co-operation and consecration. It is only in this spirit that the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute can continue to render service to the Negro, to the state and to the nation." Major Moton was selected to succeed Dr. Washington by a unanimous vote of a special committee of the board of trustess of the institute in New York on December 20 last. In making the choice the committee referred to him as "another forceful personality." He was born in Ametha county, Virginia, in 1867, and spent his early years on the Vaughan plantation in Prince Edward county. His mother was cook at the big house and his father led the hands on the plantation. He was sent to Hampton Institute in 1885, graduating five years later. He remained as drill master and assistant commandant of cadets. In 1890 he became commandant, a position which he held until his election as principal at Tuskegee. Prominent People Present. Glancing over the veritable sea of faces during the exercises, one recog-nized men of such prominence as: Hon. Charles Henderson, governor of Alabama; William G. Willcox, trustee New York; Charles E. Mason, trustee Boston; Julius Rosenwald, trustee Chicago; Wm. M. Scott, trustee Philadelphi; W. W. Campbell, vice chairman, board of trustees, Tuskegee; R. O. Simpson, trustee, Furman, Ala.; Belton Gileath, trustee, Birmingham; V. H. Tulane, trustee, Montgomery; Miss Mary E. Popham, secretary Hampton Association, New York; Dr Hollis B. Friess, principal Hampton Industrial and Agricultural Institute, Hampton, Va.; Miss Mary E. Wooley president, Mount Holyoke college South Hadley, Mass.; Charles E. Mason, Harvard university; Dr. Allison A. Pringle, representing University of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Cox college, College Park, Ga.; Ludwig T. Laren, Taladega, Ala.; College; Dr. T. W. Palmer, Alabama Girls' Technical Institute Montevallo; Prof. N. B. Young, president Florida A. and m college, Tallahassee; James L. Sibley, Reuben F. Kolb, Walter F. Walker, secretary to president of Republic of Liberia, Monroe, Liberia. There were at least a hundred prominent persons composing the Chicago go party and about the same number representing Hampton Institute. Trustees, officers, teachers and students of the institute were very much pleased with the presence of Governor Henderson and the important Southern white friends who were present at the inaugural. Governor Henderson, spoke words of welcome to Principal Moton and pledged the continued interest of the best white and colored people in the work being done at Tuskegee Institute. Governor Indorses Moton. He said: "Although I had never met Booker Washington, I had great confidence and faith in him and I believe that the indorsements Major Moton has brought to Tuskegee that you will carry out his same promises and methods." Among the Sun's welcome collars this week were Wm. Herbert Fields of St. Louis, National Grand Master of A. S. and D. of A., and a prominent figure in the recent general conference of the Zion church. Hon. A. W. Lloyd Grand Chancellor of the K. of P., out on his official visits and Rev. Dr. P. C.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE OF GREATER KANSAS CITY. A. M. E. CONFERENCE CLOSES. The report of the committee on temporal economy was the most important business before the quadrennial conference of the African M. E. church Monday. The temporal committee recommended that the bishops' salaries be increased to cover the cost of episcopal residences, provided, however, the bishops lived in their districts. The delegates refused to accept this recommendation and also refused in every instance to increase any appropriations to schools. The report of the episcopal committee recommended making Nova Scotia a beneficiary of the missionary department. The bishops were assigned for the next four years as follows: First District—Bishop Evans Tyree. Second District—Bishop J. Albert Johnson. Third District—Bishop Cornelius T. Schaffer. Fourth District—Bishop Levi J. Coppin. Fifth—Bishop H. P. Parks. Sixth District—Bishop Joseph S Flipper. Seventh District—Bishop W. D. Chappelle. Eighth District—Bishop William H. Heard. Ninth District—Bishop B. F. Lee. Tenth District—Bishop C. S. Smith. Eleventh District—Bishop John Hurst. Twelfth District—J. M. Conner. Fifteenth District—Joshua H. Jones. The two newly elected bishops were assigned to the work in South and West Africa. West Africa is known as the Thirteenth episcopal district, where Bishop Isaac N. Ross will preside. Bishop W. W. Beckett will preside over the Fourteenth district, in South Africa. Much confusion followed the request of Ira T. Bryant of Nashville, Tenn. for information in regard to the punishment provided for in the majority report of the episcopal committee on the charges which were preferred on the charges which were preferred against Bishop Jones, and which provided for a reprimand. The bishop finally said that the reprimand had been made by the bishops in executive session. As a result of his losing out in his fight to be elected supervising architect of the denomination, J. A. Lankford of Jacksonville, Fla., hurled epithets at Bishop John Hurst and J. R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination. He called the bishop a scoundrel and Hawkins a cur. When he told the latter he would fight him, the latter called his bluff. The men were about to come together, but cooler heads intervened. * The anniversary sermon to Lincoln High school graduates and school will be preached by Rev. R. Davis of Centennial M. E. church at 9:45 Sunday morning, June 4, in Lincoln High school auditorium. The ministers of the city, the alumni, parents and public are cordially invited to be present. Special music. The services begin at 9:45 promptly and close at 10:45. JUST ONE HOUR. A KING HIS $ ^{3} $ PUPIL. Johnson is Now Teaching Boxing in Spain: Chicago, May 21.—Jack Johnson has started a boxing academy in Madrid, according to information received from the ex-champion by a friend. One of his pupils is said to be King Alfredo. Johnson left London some time ago at the suggestion of British authorities. He intended to go to Argentina, but dropped off in Spain. He has engaged in two bouts in the Spanish capital, defeating Frank Crozier on March 10 and knocking out Arthur Gruhan, Spanish heavy weight champion, two weeks later. All Lincoln High school graduates are requested to come to the Lincoln High school auditorium at 9:45 a. m. Sunday to hear the anniversary sermon to graduates. MME. CORA MERRITT EVANS.

When difficulties line his way, I like to hear a fellow say: I'll try! Confronted by a task that's new, Perhaps a dangerous mission, too, I like to see him think it out, Sum up his chances and reply: I'll try! There's something in the boy or man Who rules himself upon this plan: I'll try! Too many sa: "I can't" before They've ever looked a problem o'er; Responsibility they shirk. And seem to fear unusual work. This is the phrase of do or die. I'll try! Would there were more young men to day When duty calls to them, who'd say I'll try! Would fear had not so strong a hold On mortals, and that more were bold; Bold in their willingness to face The tasks that are not commonplace— To answer doubt with this reply: I'll try! —Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press. HOME DAY, JUNE 11. "What kind of a home would my home be if every member was just like me?" Allen Chapel has adopted the day and Dr. Wm. H. Thomas, seeing the great good that could be done by this day, has made this day famous in this city. Our own Prof. Jackson will give special music for the occasion and we all know what that means to the services at Allen. We are asking all pastors to join in this great day and give us a splendid sermon on Home Day, June 11, and hope at 11 o'clock Sunday, June 11, that each choir in the city will be singing "Home, Sweet Home." Let everybody wear a red rose or carnation. The Sun believes that everybody should commemorate this day and that Mrs. A. E. Jenkins, the originator, deserves much credit for her efforts put forth to make it a success. Mrs. Mildred Jett of 1708 Michigan avenue, who has been out of the city for the past year, has returned home for an indefinite period. HAIL BILLY SUNDAY. For the first time in our life we heard Billy, Sunday last Sunday deliver his famous "booze" sermon, and to say that we were hypnotized—enthralled—enchanted and reconverted anew is but feebly telling the whole truth. Never in our life have we ever heard any man, white or black, living or dead, impress us as did this apostle of God and righteousness, and I only wish every Negro in Kansas City could have heard him. Had he preached such a wonderful sermon as he did in one of our churches with us Colored people's propensity for "shouting," they'd been putting in new seats until yet. God Bless Billy Sunday. He and Theodore Roosevelt are the two greatest and most useful men living today. H. THOMAS reach Sunday morning and June 4 by the Choir INVITED SPECIALS FOR TODAY AND NEXT WEEK AT Theo.

MARQUESS' FAREWELL TO KANSAS CITY AN OVATION A WONDERFUL ADDRESS On Friday evening, May 26, in the spacious auditorium of the Kansas City, Kas., High school, the most touching tribute of appreciation and esteem was paid Prof. John M. Marquess, the retiring principal of Sumner High school, by the citizens of our proud metropolis. Packed to its utmost to witness the commencement exercises of the largest graduating class in the career of Sumner, and the last under Prof. Marquess' skilful management, the occasion was truly adapted to and fittingly selected for the demonstration of confidence and of high estimation of this brilliant scholar and educator, who in the eight years of living in our midst endeared himself to the entire community and proved himself worthy of the highest honors in the gift of the citizenship; who during this same period as principal of Sumner High school, brought it out of the unpromising and unsavvy connections of its origin to a position of respectability and of fame in the educational system of our city and community, and through whose supervision and government it has won a name and a place of honor among the institutions of learning in our state and in the nation. More than 2,000 of the citizens—mothers seriously interested in the welfare of their sons and daughters; fathers jealous of the sanctity of their children's rights, opportunities and honor—patrons animated with pride in the race's endeavor and achievements were present to hear the farewell address of their prized educator and honored member of the race and to bid him God speed and continued success in his future work. Past Grand Master of Masons of Kansas, C. H. Milton Collins, in an eloquent and forceful address in behalf of the citizens of Kansas City, Kas., presented Mr. Marquess a large and beautifully engraved loving cup with the names of the contributors to its purchase. But elegant and valuable a sthis gift was, it was only a small token of the regard in which Mr. Marquess is held here; it was only a gentle reminder to him that his years of service in our community will ever be cherished as years of usefulness; it was only an assurance to him that his goodness to Kansas City, Kas., are indelibly inscribed on the memory of an appreciative public. The occasion will ever be remembered for it gave renewed evidence of the unbounded confidence of the entire citizenship of Kansas City, Hus., in this man of the race, who with grace and dignity represented it these last eight years in the social and civic life of the community; who with zeal and capability championed its cause in the councils of the high; who with fidelity and devotion served its interests towards the appraisement of the ideals of true manhood and womanhood, and of an elevated citizenship with its accorded rights and privileges. It was an evidence of regret at the loss of the services of this efficient and honorable man to our educational system and civic life, yet, an assurance that we do not begrudge his advancement and rise in life, but wish him even greater success—for every such record among our race is inspiration to its individual members. It was an augur that his fertile brain and larger soul will be equal to the increased responsibilities of his new field at Langston, and that like credit will be done our brother of Oklahoma by his measuring up to his greater possibilities and higher honors; as he reflected while laboring on the free soil of Kansas. The unexpectedness of this outburst obviously affected Mr. Marquess, who in a masterly speech of acceptance, returned the compliments paid him, and expressed his gratfulness for the friendships he has formed here, and the hearty co-operation received in his efforts of betterment and uplift. EJECTED FROM "WHITE" CAR Wife of Tuskegee Institute Head Was in Pullman in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., May 29.—Mrs. Robert B. Moton, wife of the new president of the Tuskegee institute, was ejected from a Pullman car at Troy, while on her way back to Hampton, Va. She was accompanied by Blanton Moton, her brother-in-law. The couple secured rullman berths in Montgomery, it is said. Between Montgomery and Troy the white passengers made objections and an officer was called when the train stopped at Troy. The train was held up while the couple were moved to the regular Negro car at the front of the train, where they spent the rest of the night. Major, Moton stated today that he had not heard from his wife or brother, other than that they had arrived in Savannah. He said he has always deferred to Southern public opinion in the matter of racial relationship. Negro Business and Professional Directory of Greater Kansas City AUTHORS MRS. MARIA P.

THE BISHOP OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK REV. SISTER PEARL, D. D. The following are some forceful and helpful scripture lessons which I would be pleased to have my many friends read while thinking of me: Psalms 37: 1-2-9-17-24-37.—Rev. Sister Pearl. Did you give her a lift? She is a sister of man and bearing about all the burden she can. Did you give her a smile? She was downcast and blue, and a smile would have helped her to battle it through. Did you give her a hand? She was slipping down hill and the world so fancied was using her ill. Did you give her a word? Did you show her the road? Or did you just let her go on with her load? Do you know what it means to be losing the fight, when a lift in time might set everything right? Do you know what it means just a clasp of a hand, when a woman's borne about all a woman ought to stand? Do you ask what it was, why the quivering lips, why the half suppressed sob and the scalding tears drip, were you sister of her when the time came of need?

It gave the first opportunity to all the brethren to inspect the newly established Masonic Home which was then in perfect operation and firmly established as an institution of the craft. Hannibal also was the home of Past Grand Master Pelham. He had for many years been principal of the local school and had established himself as one of the foremost educators of the country. In the city his respect was not limited to his own people, but he stood out as one of the most progressive and intelligent men in the community, being well versed in politics and law and of wide manifest capabilities. Nor should we forget that for many years the new rand Master, Dr. M. O. Ricketts, had made his home at Hannibal during his boyhood, and it was in a fitting sense a real home coming to him. Dr. Rickett's took charge of the administrative affairs of the rand Lodge with confidence in his own powers and with the complete support of the brethren. For many years he had been foreign correspondent for the jurisdiction and had made a nation-wide reputation for his exactness in Masonic law and jurisprudence. As a writer he had few superiors, his lucid, terse style as well as the sparkling brilliance which it carried made his criticisms of Masonic procedure the bright spot in the transactions of the Round Table scribes. JOE E. HERRIFORD. In this respect, too, he had been of vast service to the Grand Lodge of Missouri, keeping its work constantly square, and even the subordinate lodges had become accustomed to consult his opinions in all matters of doubtful nature. Upon his elevation to the highest office he appointed to succeed him at the Round Table Bro. Joe E. Herriford, who continued to occupy the place, though with lesser distinction, for six years following. There was not much constructive work to be done at the Hannibal session. Each of the departments was in a healthy condition and the names of over 4,200 brethren were upon the roster of the Grand Secretary. In his first annual address Grand Master Ricketts reported the organization of three lodges, one of which Ideal No. 70, introduced George W. K. Love, W. M., as a new member of the Grand Lodge. Brother Love was an excellent type of young manhood and practical scholarship, having for several years been connected with the office of the city treasurer of Kansas City. He at once became a most highly valued member of the body and was soon destined to fill the office of Grand Lodge secretary, which place he still holds with brilliant distinction. Destiny fully measured up to his deserts and spared no time in so doing. The Sunday nearest the anniversary of St. John the Baptist was appointed as a day upon which Masons should be allowed to publicly turn out for religious services, a practice which had hitherto been much in vogue among the brethren and which, though officially sanctioned, is not as yet very popular. The practices of symbolic Masonry do not lean strongly toward any form of public demonstration which does not carry with it the idea of established Masonic ceremonies. This is in no wise an indication of the lack of religious zeal among the brethren. In fact, contrary to the quips of many non-Masonic writers, Masonry is the very embodiment of the most cogent and practical religious virtues, its tenets of friendship, morality and brotherly love as well as the ever present doctrine of the Fatherhood of God being the highest evidence desired. Upon a recommendation from the Grand Master the Grand Lodge adopted the blanket form of ballot in the election of grand officers, thus greatly shortening and simplifying the process and rendering it less possible for a member to run for more than one position. In the election at Hannibal there was but little excitement, the Grand Master being unanimously rechosen and most of the other officers being similarly honored. It was announced that the Heroines of Jericho as well as the Eastern Star ladies had formally pledged a stated amount of support to the Masonic Home. The Grand Lodge inspected the Home premises and the meeting ended with great enthusiasm min support of the institution. St. Louis was chosen for the next SECOND CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Frank McDonald, upon his reelection to the editorship of the Western Christian Recorder. Doc will yet be a Bishop. The growing popularity of Lincoln Electric Park is distinctly traceable to the genality and good sense of the new general manager, Mr. W. J. Freeman, who has the happy faculty of knowing how to make friends and patrons of those with whom he comes in contact. He is ably supported by our own O. H. McDaniels who is a hustler of the first water. The Sun predicts a big year for Lincoln Electric Park. The Sun was highly honored last week by a visit from some of the most distinguished ladies in the state in the personages of Mesdames, J. H. Kenner of Marshall, A. R. Chinn of Glasgow, C. R.

We know that every foot of progress made by the Negro has been fought over; but see how the scene of battle has shifted. Two hundred years ago the fight was as to whether or not he was really a human being with all the attributes of a human heart and soul. A hundred years ago it was as to whether or not he had sufficient gray matter in his brain to master the rudiments of learning. Fifty years ago it was over his right to be a free man. Today it is over his admission to full membership in the body social and political. All the former battles have been won; then what reason is there to suppose that we shall not win the one being fought today or whatever others there may yet be to fight? The Negro must work; that is, he must keep up tireless efforts to develop himself along every line. He must fight; that is, he must protest against wrongs, and must claim his rights and not let up until he gets them. And he must have faith in himself. Then he can not fail. Y. M. C. A. Y. M. C. A.

The first overnight hike for association boys was held on last Monday night to South Park, Kas. The boys walked from the end of the Rosedale car line to the place for the night out doors, a distance of three and a half miles. Some of the mysteries of the woods were discovered by the boys for the first time in their lives. "The sleep on the bed made of tree limbs is better," says the boys, "than mother's feather mattress." This is the first of a series of overnight hikes to be given the boys. These hikes are planned to teach the boys first hand knowledge of how to take care of themselves when out in God's great house, "the woods."

Are you it? —That a whole lot of Negroes who have been receiving the Sun for some months are trying to dodge paying their bills. Well, we'll send Betty and Sam out to see if they can collect it. —That when a certain colored brother was brought before the police judge for having in his possession several chickens which he could not account for, and asked point blank by the court why he stole those chickens, he said: "Jedge, yo honah. I believes in prepahness, and knowing de business league, de grand lodge, de Baptist convention and de Mefodis confrence was gulue to meet heah dis summer, jes natchally had to commence gittin' far dem cull folks." TEN REASONS WHY THE N. N. B. L. SHOULD BE WELCED. A great many persons have the wrong impression of people that are engaged in a successful business. They accuse them of having the "big head" and that they think themselves better than others farther down; that they speak of themselves as "big I" and of the less fortunate as "little you." The members of the N. N. B. League are men and women that respect all people that respect themselves regardless of color, looks or wealth. They are cognizant of the fact that we are dependent creatures and our success in business has been largely due to the patronage of the poorer classes. It is said by a friend of our late president, Dr. Booker T. Washington, "that the poorest students in Tuskegee could oftener get a conference with Dr. Washington than the more fortunate ones." He had great sympathy for the "man fartherest down." That same spirit he has imparted to the members of the Business League so much so that the humbleest citizen of Kansas City may feel at home with this great organization that is to come to us in August. W. U. RECITAL. One of the distinct successes of the Western University commencement season was the recital last Tuesday night by Mrs. Sallie Jackson and Miss Mazie McGrew Woodson who finished the piano course this year, held in the auditorium of the Studio building. They were assisted by Mrs. Emma Collins Payne and Mr. Lemuel Russel in a program of rare excellence and enjoyment. Mrs. Jackson's magnificent playing was a revelation to her many friends and acquaintances and she was given an ovation at the close; while the playing of Miss Woodson demonstrated the care and thoroughness that bespeak for her a brilliant future. A large audience was present and at the completion of the program paid their respects to the graduates in the assembly room. The young ladies were the recipients of many handsome bouquets and baskets of flowers. The commencement proper will be held Thursday at 2:00 o'clock on the campus and promises to be one of the most successful years in the history of the institution. President Kealing and the faculty deserve much credit for the excellent results being obtained by this splendid institution. WORKERS OF THE WORLD. By CHAS. A. STARKS. I don't know who you are or where you are, what your nation or color. It is the great touch of sympathy which I would establish. Maybe you are in the high places of the affairs of this universe, or maybe down in the nether experience of the humble. It is not that I seek, I onl ywant your motive. Are you of the real workers of the world? Working to learn to lift the human conception of man to the sphere of the infinite. I care nothing for your church or creed nor your religion. God and man is enough for me: I like your thoughts though if they are Godly. I like your work if it is manly as God's man does it. Yes, there are silent workers along the earth. Here, everywhere. He may be your neighbor. Close by, or in the dim distance. In China or ice land, somewhere. Somewhere in human affairs he may be faltering, halting, groping or catching at the straw of truth held out in stern condition or untoward circumstances. But see him grasping it desperately, clutchingly, then with firmness and faith. I see him when with struggling effort he reaches the shore and knows not how. He knows not that truth has buoyed him on and saved him from an ocean of doubt and fear. And you ask me do I believe in God? Assuredly yes. In the Christ? Yes. The Son of God and his idea, Him I believe. What more? This: His work I must love as he loves; know as He knows; do as He does; I must work as He worked. To do what? Again: Wrok to learn, to lift up. If I learn the truth I must be free; knowing is doing. Doing is lifting. This comprehends the whole duty of those who are the real workers of the world Working better as they receive more light, more knowledge of good, more truth, more power. ARGENTINE. KANSAS BY MRS. OPHELIA JACKSON. The St. Paul, A. M. E. church congregation was startled last Sunday night by the peculiar actions of a well dressed lady who sat on the steps and was passed by all who entered the church, but spoke to no one. She did not worship with the members and the fact that she sat on the church steps was lost sight of, but when Rev. Harris extended an invitation to those who had a desire to join she entered the church and came slowly up the aisle, talking softly, her arm outstretched, and turning around with a waltz movement crossed the church, went to the other aisle and when half way turned and approached the pastor, extended her hand and said: "Pray for me that I may get wisdom and strength, fro I need them," and went down the aisle with the same movement, out the door and into a pouring rain. She was a stranger to the members and her actions naturally caused comment...The sudden death of Mr. Stith in Spring Garden last Tuesday night, May 23, was a shock to all. He came from work in apparent health, retired about 11 o'clock, but an hour after was stricken with apoplexy of the brain from which he died between 12 and 1 o'clock. He leaves three brothers, two sisters, a wife and five children, and a mother to mourn his death. Mrs. Stith has been ill for some time and at the time of her husband's funeral was unable to leave the house. About ten members and their pastor, Brother Menenger of the Minnister Mission (white) held memorial services for Mr. Stith May 29. Mr. Stith was a Christian gentleman and was well thought of by both white and colored ...Mrs. Pearl Morris is able to be out again after a week's illness.... The Heronines of Jericho, Kaw and Nebraska jurisdiction, will have their Grand Court sessions in Argentine June 13, 14 and 15 at Casin rink, 25th and Metropolitan. Interesting musical and literary programs will be rendered at night with installation of officers on the final evening....Rev. H. D. Harris preached a powerful sermon from the text "Because I lived, ye shall live also" on Sunday morning. His theme was "The Church as a Human Institution Is a Failure." In part he spoke of how it need not be a failure if each would perform his duty toward the church, contribute freely without having to be begged for finance and how the solemnity of a service may not be marred by using the church as an advertising medium. Rev] Harris is doing a good work in Argentine and next Sunday will have a rally to improve the church. He asked for $27 on May 21 with which to have a retaining wall built to keep the water from running in the basement, and the members responded to the request and as a result the wall is built and paid for....Little Margaret, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Phillips, is improving after a few days illness.

To the Kansas City Sun: In re gard to an article which appeared i2 the Kansas Blevator May 27, headed “Stay Away From Lincoln Electric Park,” I make this reply: I have played before the crowned heads of foreign countries and have crossed the equator twice, have made America from north to south and from east to west, playing in all first class theaters in this country; have recent: ly returned from Australia and New Zealand, where I played a special en- gagement under Hugo Bros., and 1 think Tam in a position to pass on any play house or park which has come under my observation, and will say in answer the areicle written in the Elevator was entirely uncalled for. I am now playing at Lincoln Elec: trie park and have been since shortly after its opening, May 6, and can say without fear or favor that there ts not a place in this country or any other that I have been in that is as finely equipped and run exclusively ‘for colored people as this park is, [wish to say further that I heartily indorse this park to the colored race, and believe that it is deserving of the patronage of all the good respect- able colored people, and they. shoula be proud to live in a city in which a few white individuals would invest $40,000 or $60,000 for their exclusive pleasure. I can not see why any per. Son who has attended this park could have occasion to regret the dime or nickle that they might spend, without it be some narrow minded man who ‘was prejudiced at the park owner for some reason or other. ‘As tothe present management of the park, from outside appearance everybody employed in the park, and who has attended this season, seem to be perfectly satisfied, and I consider the article in the Elevator a slur on myself as well as the rest of the per formers and employes of the park who are all colored, and the manager tells me that he does not expect to employ anyone in this park except colored people. Hoping my friends and friends of my husband, the late Billy Kersands, now dead, who appeared before Queen Victoria by special request under the management of Charles Frohman, and ‘who had a reputation excelled by none and equaled by few, will take this ar ticle as it is written. Very respectfully, MADAME BILLY KERSANDS. $ 7, t i Women’s Clubs. | PHYLLIS WHEATLEY ART CLUB.

The City Conquest Union held a fine session in our audi: torium last Sunday and elected dele. gates to attend the district convention in June. The church services were up to the usual high standard. In the morning services the pastor, Dr, Ba cote, preached a wonderful sermou to a large congregation. ‘The Sunda) school was well attended and inter esting. In the evening worship Dr. Perry delivered a fine discourse. There were three additions to the church. One candidate received the ordance o! baptism, ALLEN CHAPEL. There was a very large audience in attendance last Sunday at Allen chapel. Owing to the long trip and the constant attendance at tho Gen eral Conference, the pastor did not preach last Sunday. Rey.

Having given the names of the ten ei birds over whose good deeds man should rojoice the ornithologist said, “But the lst ts longer. ‘There are other birds and many of them, that work as hard or nearly as hard for man ‘as those which I have named, Between 30 and 40 species there Is small room for cholce, but let the ten stand because the lst perhaps eannot be improved upon." Later the scientist wanted to hedge a little, for he said that there were some birds of prey which at least should have a place side by side with the familiars of orchard and garden to which he had given first rank. ‘The cause of the birds of prey, however, has been pleaded before. The barn owl, the sparrow hawk and some others have been given their credit marks, but it 18 to bo doubted, porhaps, if anything which can be said in behalf of a predatory one which occasionally picks up a chicken will serve to save its life when it 1s caught in the act of lar- ceny. Not one of the birds in the Table of Ten {a a thief, Honest, well-meaning, cheerful, and for the mos? part neighborly, they go through their tives working, which means eating, in order that man more fully may reap what he has sown. It is admittedly probable that some close stu- dents of the habits of birds may dispute the ac- curacy of the list as it is given, but it 1s not likely that anyone who has watched the daily operations of these friends in feathers from night- hawk to chipping sparrow will be able to prove that so much as one black mark should be entered on the daily records of their lives. By their appetites ye shall know them. A bird fa good or bad from the agriculturists’ viewpoint according to what and how much it eats. This fa a plain tale of the birds’ bill of fare. It is lucky, perhaps, for the songsters, as well as for the tuneless ones, that the birds of the best habits of life are well known by sight to all Americans. The trouble that the bird protectors have found tes almost wholly in the fact that the habits of birde are not as well known as the birds theruselves. Tt was Dr. A. K. Fisher of the Biological Sur- ‘vey who named the ten most useful birds. He 4 in charge of “econom{c investigations” In the Bureau of the Biological Survey of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. In the bureau are kept the bird records. ‘The papers in the pigeon holes in part read like the catalogues of a seed store and the collection lists of an entomologist. One can say of the birds that seeds and insects “form the chief of their dict.” To go to the mammals for a figure of speech ft has taken years of closest work and field work to separate the sheep from the goats. In the bird world there are many more sheep than there are goats, but the job of separation has been hard. In the little flock of best friends of the farmer there are only two birds which, perhaps, are not well known to all suburban dwellers. ‘The two are the killdeor plover and the yellow-billed cuckoo. The nighthawk. which heads the list, {s, or ought to be, known to everybody. Of course it {s not a hawk at all, and the name by which ft Is known in the Northern states, has hurt it. Paraphrasing it might be said, “Give a bird a ‘bad name and ft will shoot it.” | In the Southern ‘states the nighthawk is known as the bull-bat. In the fall and winter {t 1s killed ruthlessly and to mo purpose except that of so-called sport, tor it {s useless, or virtually useless as food. Nighthawks are wholly insectivorous. They do no damage to crops. F. E. L. Beal, who has made field studies for the Biological Survey of the dietary of virtually all the commoner birds, says of the food of the nighthawk, “True bugs, moths, flies, grasshoppers and crickets are im- portant elements of its food. Several species of mosquitoes, including the transmitter of malaria, ‘are eaten. Othor well-known pests consumed by the nighthawk are Colorado potato beetles, cucumber beetles, rice, clover-leat and cotton: doll weevils, bill bugs, bark beetles, squash bugs and moths of the cotton worm.” ‘The killdeer plover 1s one of the noisy birds, “A part of its Latin name is “Vociferus,” which ‘speaks for itself. While the killdeer ordinarily {q accounted a game bird it is poor eating. The good that it does should save it from persecu- tion, but gunners are not apt to discriminate, ‘and eo the killdeer frequently suffers. This bird lives in the open country. More than 99 per cent of its food consists of animal matter. The rocord shows: Beetles, 37.06 per cont; other in- sects, as grasshoppers, caterpillars, ants, bugs, Paitte Sins, rasan fice and swowinged, dies 54 per cent, and other invertebrates as centl- pedes, spiders, ticks, oyster worms, earthworms, ‘snails, crabs and other crustacea, 21.12 per cent. Vegetable matter composes 2.28 per cent of the total food, and is chiefly made up of weedsceds, ‘such as buttonweed, smartweed, foxtall grass and nightshade, ‘The sifalfa weevil, a new and de- énhbbbtdcmiahdidiadiiinanhidnsinnainad pane ean aaa ay eb aie Sama a So) cou) ke A BS ak a IT ia a STE Si MU aire 2 GATHERED FACTS France is stimulating attention to gardening.

The chimney swift, almost always called the chimney swallow, although it is not a swallow at all, ts sometimes looked upon as a nuisance because in the summer time it is apt to make more or less of a racket in the chimneys lead- ing from bedrooms in which tired folk are try: ing to sleep. This swift-winged bird never lights upon the ground, a tree or a building. Its only resting place {s on sooty bricks in the dark interior of a chimney or on the inner wood of some hollow tree In a wilderness that knows no chimney. All of the swift's food is captured on the wing. It eats thousands of mosquitoes, gnats and other noxious winged insects. It hunts from daylight to dark, and all its hunting {s in the interest of man. The swift gathers its nesting material while on the wing. It has a curious habit, while in Might, of nipping off the tips of dead twigs, and so quickly and neatiy is the thing done that the eye barely can follow the operation. ‘The bluebird, with its “violet of song,” is loved wherever it 1s known. Luckily bluebirds are prolific creatures, for about twenty years ago a severely cold winter made such inroads on the tribe that it was feared the birds might never come back into their own. They came back, and now there are as many as ever and they are con- tinuing a warfare against man’s enemies with no pacificist in the land to interpose objection. The bluebird is given third place in the list of the ten most beneficent birds. Science is cruel in order to be kind. Nearly nine hundred blue- birds met death so that the scientists might prove that they were useful to man, An exam- ination of the stomachs of the martyrs showed that 68 per cent of the food “consists of insects and thetr allies, while the other 82 per cent 1s made up of various vegetable substances found mostly in the stomachs of birds taken in winter.” It is a happy thing for the bluebird that the scientists are able to set it down that “so far as its vegetable food is concerned the bird is post- tively harmless.” The bluebird is a beauty. It is neighborly and kindly disposed. Its appealing springtime note sounds far away, for the blue- bird is @ ventriloquist. It perches in a tree at the doorstep, but seemingly calls to you from the skies. The downy woodpecker {s the tiniest mamber of the woodpecker family which spreads itself pretty well over the United States. The downy eats everything in the bug and insect line from tiny ants to big caterpillars. Frequently these little woodpeckers are shot by orchardists be- cause they appear to be injuring the trees. This is what Dr. Glover, an entomologist of the De- partment of Agriculture, has said concerning this matter of suspicion: : "On one occasion a downy woodpecker was observed making a number of small, rough- edged perforations in the bark of a young shade tree. Upon examining the tree when the bird had flown away, it was found that wherever the bark had been injured the young larvae of the wood-eating beetles had been snugly coiled under- neath and had been destroyed by the birds. The hairy woodpecker, a bigger brother of the downy, also is a beneficent bird, but the little one rather outdoes the big one in the work of well- doing. The phoebe {s the true harbinger of spring, even if the robin and the bluebird more frequent: ly are given the honor. ‘The phoebe belongs to the tribe of fSycatchers and it takes virtually all its food on the wing. It eannot come north until spring comes as its companion, because its food does not fly about in cold weather, T have seen four young phoebes sitting side by side on the limb of a tree while the mother bird for two hours struck down quarry with which to feed them. Not a mistake did she make, and she played no favorites. Out from the limb she would dart, there would be a click of the bill ‘and an tnsect tidbit would be fed to one of the fledglings, ‘The young were fed one after an- other, the mother bird apparently remembering which one had been given the last mouthful. F, E. L. Beal of the Biological Survey says all that 18 necessary to prove the phoebe’s case: “There are but few birds in the United States more endeared to the rural and village popula tion than the common phoebe, Its habit of as. sociating itself with man and his works, its trustful disposition and the fact that it never is seen to prey upon any product of husbandry have rendered it almost sacred.” aie Ao iA Re Be ae OL ag 32072 BIRD Electrical apparatus taking current from a light socket has been invented by @ French sclentist to purity the air in & room by Ifterally pumping it into & reservoir and washing it, To enable his automobile to run over deserts and sandy roads a Call- fornian has equipped it with canvas belts which revolve around the rear ‘wheels, providing smooth tracks. A new rack for toothbrushes. has places in front in which can be {n- sorted cards showing the names of the owners of the heathen: The chickadee appealed to Ralph Waldo Emer- son. The bird has @ philosophy of its own and Emerson recognized it. It stays in the north country all winter, for no cold can shackle its activities nor chill {ts cheer. Emerson met the chickadee on a blustery winter day and wrote: ee eee eae eee This scrap of valor just for play Fronts the north wind in waistcoat gray. A favorite food of the chickadee consists of the eggs of the two species of tent caterpillar moths which are among the most destructive of insects. In winter it eats larvae, chrysalids and eggs of moths, varied by a few seeds. Tho bird's bill of fare ts made up for the main part of insects, nearly all of which are known to the farmer or frutt raiser as pests. The barn swallow and the purple grackle, cousin swallows, are familiar to all dwellers in the country. There are five other common spe- cles of swallows found within the United States and all of them are of beneficent ilfe, Swal lows take all of their food, or nearly all of {t, while on the wing. Virtually all of the insects which they destroy are either injurious or an- noying, and the government scientists say that the numbers of the pests “destroyed by swal- lows are not only beyond calculation, but almost beyond tmagination.” Wordsworth might have asked the American cuckoo, as he did its European cousin, whether he should call it a bird or but a wandering voice. ‘There are two fairly abundant species of cuckoos in America, the yellow-billed and the black-billed. ‘Their habits are much alike. These two birds are yentriloquists. Ong hears their voices where they are not. The cuckoos thread thelr way through the tangles of branches, gliding after the manner of ghosts. The bird eats what most other birds disdain, It has a special fondness for the great hairy destructive caterpillars, and when it finds nest of the tent caterpillars it will not move on until the destruction of the pests and their home 1s complete. The cuckoo frequently fs called the rain crow. It has no place as a weather prophet, however, for it Is apt to be especially vociferous in the dryest times, In the Mst of the ten best birds there 1s only one bird of the dooryard, These little birds nest in the currant bushes, in the vines which clamber over the porch or fn the hedges which bound the dooryard domain, Sparrows are known as seed eaters, and this might carry an implica tlon that they are destroyers of grain. Some of them are, but we have the scientists as wit. nesses that the food habits of the chipping spar row, the bird which comes to your doorstep for crumbs, are all good. It has been written of {t that it is “well worthy of the welcome and pro tection which it everywhere receives.” It must not be thought because ten birds have been named as the best friends of the farmer that there are not scores of others whose dail3 work {8 for the good of man. The ten excel but the others strive with them throughout thel short lives to work as well as in them les for the good of man who too often, misunderstanding their intentions, becomes their persecutor. One of the most trying tasks incident to trench fighting has beon considerably lightened by the appearance in the British trenches of gloves made of a fabric which 1s said to be impervious to barbed wire points, says Popular Science Monthly. ‘The fabric is made up into mittens, with the first finger and thumb separate. ‘The fabric is water: proof, and in addition the gloves are insulated for gripping electrically charged wires. ‘The same material 1s applied to the manufac: ture of sleeping bags, whieh, when opened, may be thrown over a barbed. wire entanglement to allow a soldier to climb over the sharp points without injury, When made up into vests or tunies the fabric 1s strong endugh to turn shrapnel splinters or even a bullet when it has lost part of its momentum.

And Bishop Isaiah Benjamin Scott, the only Negro missionary bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, notified the subcommittee on Effectiveness of Bishops of his intention to retire at the present session of the general con- ference, ‘The news caused a stir when it became known. Bishop Scott, it was learned, had, been in conference with the subcommittee for several days.

The white physicians were kind, but felt that they could not intrude upon the feelings of white patients by tak- ing care of our sick. The thing to do was to establish our own hospitals, train our own nurses and educate our own doctors. I knew that this meant money and the nickels and dimes that I could get from my own people would not be enough. The cnly thing for me to do was to beg of those whom God had prospered, that the less for- tunate might be given a chance to live and grow better. I went to Thomas H.

Altogether we raised $5,000, and with this we built the only hospital for colored peo: ple in the district. White physicians co-operate with the Negro.

So sharp a con- tontion arose that two parties were or- ganized. ‘That Paul later forgave Mark is evidenced by his tender refer- ences to him. 1. A Closed Door.

At a later time Paul spoke the “word of the Lord Jesus” in Asia with wonderful effect (19: 1, 8 19, 26, 27).

Twice within the hour Mrs. Edna Danvers had seen the tears fall from the eye of her hired seamstress upon the work in her hands. The latter thought herself unperceived, and when Mrs. Danvers came directly near to her, she smiled to conceal her emotion, and went on briskly with her task. She broke down utterly as she was left alone in the room. Mrs. Danvers had gone into the hall. She paused there at the sound of gentle sobbing. She stole back softly into the room, gently lifted the work from the hands of her seamstress, stroked back her hair, kissed her and sat down facing her. "Now then, my dear," she said in her pretty, persuasive way, "tell me all your troubles, for you have some. I've found that out, and I'm going to find out the rest of it and help you, if I can and you will let me." The flood gates broke loose. It was just such sincere and soothing sympathy that the poor soul, wearing her life away over the needle, needed. Soon other tears were mingled with her own and loving arms supported her. Pitiful and impressed, Mrs. Danvers listened to a story that aroused her keenest interest. Mary Walters was the wife of a convicted felon. They had one little child, and she was now its sole support and her own, for her husband was in prison, awaiting trial on a charge of burglary. "He is not innocent," the seamstress reluctantly admitted, "but, oh! he tells A man and a woman in a living room. The man is wearing a suit and tie, and the woman is wearing a dress. They are standing close to each other, with the man holding the woman's hand. The background includes a wall with framed pictures and a desk with books. "I Give You My Word." me ne is a changed man. He has seen the evil of his ways, I truly believe." And then the narrator went on to give details that impressed her tender-hearted auditor. A mighty resolve came into the mind of Edna Danvers. That evening she told her husband all of the sad story. "Save him, Robert, dear; you have the influence with the judges." And the result was that two days later Mrs. Walters came to the Danvers home aglow with happiness and hope. "Oh, my good lady!" she sobbed joyously, "your husband is surely our good angel. He took my husband, John, before the judge and John confessed all. Your husband pleaded for him. They have given him a thirty-days' jail sentence. Oh, think of it—in another month John will be home with us! He would have been two years in the penitentiary only for your kind, good husband." "And now," spoke Robert Danvers to his wife the next day, "having lent myself to another of your philanthropic notions, suspend the series until I give my unrestricted attention to my great case." "There is a 'great case,' then," said Edna. "And a royal fee, if I win it," declared her husband. "I am fighting the smoothest lawyer in the city, that is Hugh Boydston. He is silk, tricky, unprincipled. He works in the dark, and it is going to take unusual wit and ability to circumvent him." Of that case Edna knew all the details from time to time. The "great case" became the constant theme of thought and anxiety for the family. "So much attached to winning it—in fact, fame and fortune," the lawyer asserted. Mrs. Danvers had further need of the seamstress, and Mary Walters came often to the Danvers home. Edna often spoke to her of the great case. Then it came about, when John was released and came back home and started in to earn a really honest livelihood, that Mary referred to the case and John listened with interest. "I'm a grateful man," he said, thoughtfully, "and I shall never forget this Mr. Danvers." John continued to ask Mary constantly for further details of the case. Bit by bit he burrowed out the sentient facts. "So the case hinges on what kind of a case that tricky Boydston is going to put up?" he remarked. "The weakness of Mr. Danvers is in not knowing what the defense is to be, eh? I'll wager it's a black plot, for I know Boydston. He's a hard, cruel, crooked man." John Walters said little after that, but one evening shortly afterwards an incident occurred that shocked and alarmed Mary. Little Freddie, toddling about his father, had pushed from his coat pocket a tool. It fell to the floor. John flushed and Mary paled. "Oh, John!" she gasped in horror, for in a flash she recognized the tool as a burglarious implement—a picklock. She had seen such in his past career. "Don't worry, Mary," said John, with affected lightness. "I'm not going to get into any trouble." "But the picklock, John," quavered Mary. "It can mean no honest purpose." "I give you my word I have not thought of returning to my old wicked way," spoke John solemnly, and Mary was sure she read honesty in his eyes, and was compelled to be content. "I shall not be home till late," he wrote Mary three nights later, and her soul was rent with anguish. Had John met with his old companions? Had he again fallen by the wayside? Midnight, one o'clock, two o'clock, three and then—his step, brisk and steady, his voice clear and happy, and then he folded her in his arms. "Take that," he said, releasing her and drawing forth the picklock. "Don't shrink from it, girl! It's paid a big debt, as you'll know later. Tie a bow of pretty ribbon around it, and hang it on the wall for an ornament. Some time I'll tell you a story about it that will make you proud of me. Go to bed, dear; I have some work to do." Then way up to dawn, Walters sat copying in a clear, legible hand pages of rough penciled notes. He had the neat manuscript all completed and folded as Mary announced breakfast. "I want you to take these papers to your good friend, Mrs. Danvers," he explained. "Why, John?" spoke Mary in surprise; "what are they?" "The complete outline of the case that scamp, Boydston, has against Mr. Danvers. Don't you understand? I had quite a seance all alone by myself in the Boydston office last night. My old trade, you know, getting past the door. The strong box was a mere bread can against my skill. I copied all I needed, and old Boydston had a forgery or two among the documents. More than that, you get word to Mr. Danvers that two witnesses Boydston plans to use on the stand are professional hired perjurers. I happen to know them. I've got the goods on them that would land them in prison. I'll see to it that they don't appear on the day Boydston expects them, trust me, and Mr. Danvers will win his case." "But, oh! John, if they find out—" "That I tried my old trade for a good cause?" cried John—"let them! I'm proud of it, but they won't and Mr. Danvers will win his great case." And what John Walters predicted came about. The day of the trial there was a discomfitten and baffled legal antagonist and a rightful triumph for Robert Danvers—and the big fee, and fervid happiness for Edna, and for the humble burglar a new start in life when Mr. Danvers learned of his grateful part in the affair. He Asks Thief to Fight. One of the most curious offers ever made to an unknown thief was that once made by a Monmouthshire farmer. He had occasion to slander a cow, and the carcass was placed in the outhouse. Next morning it was found to have been denuded of every particle of suet, whereupon the farmer issued the following notice: "If the person or persons that robbed my cow of the suet are really in want, I will give them a stone of flour to make dumplings with. Should it be that they are not in want, and the thief is a man and will come forward, I will fight him in fair open battle; if he beats me, I will give him 5 shillings and let him keep the suet." The delinquent did not accept the challenge, as the farmer's flexible ability was well known. Cardiff Cable tr Philadelphia North American. Important Postscript. Apropos of the rapid displacement of the pen by the typewriter, a story which has just come to light is told in Scotland of the famous duke of Argyle, the author of "The Reign of Law." The duke was, to say the least of it, not a brilliant calligraphist, and one day a well-known geologist received from him a letter which he found some difficulty in reading. He managed, however, to decipher it all save the postscript. This was beyond him, so he took it at last to a hand-writing expert, who after some study pronounced that it read: "I have been totally unable to make out half of your letter." Roses and Carnations. Cut flowers remains fresh for such a brief time that any means of prolonging their life is eagerly welcomed by the flower lover. Many experiments have been tried along this line by modifying the water in which the flowers are placed. Thus roses, carnations and orchids have been found to keep three times as long if a small quantity of sugar is added to the water. This is taken up and helps to keep the cells of the flower from collapsing, and thus wilting. A small lump of starch has also been found beneficial. No. Wonder. "How was it Doctor Knowit got such a big fee from Talkative?"

A bronze goblet secured in a copper vessel, which contained some copper coins bearing certain inscriptions which are indecipherable, was recently found by two Indian agriculturists. The coins bear the impress of an image on one side and, being of archeological interest, have been forwarded to the curator of the Government museum, Madras. They are believed to have been in use during the reign of Tamerlane. The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbey Their Care and Cultivation THE FLOWER GARDEN The Daisy Should Have a Place in Every Garden. Roses and Hydrangeas Massed Give Great Beauty. By L. M. BENNINGTON. No flower in all the garden series is more beloved than the star-eyed daisy, or marguerite. And perhaps no flower has undergone a more decided improvement than this same flower, which fills the meadow spaces with its nodding white and in better soil looks stateller from the garden path. The daisy should have a place in the garden. They make delightful borders to beds of taller-growing annuals, and can be used very effectively in beds of spring-blooming bulbs. Daisies may be sown at intervals for succession, in shallow boxes of light, rich soil. Cover the seed to about three times their own thickness, and press the soil firmly over them. Keep the box in a warm window, greenhouse or hotbed. Transplant to new boxes and set out in the open ground when danger from frost is past. Daisies can be sown in beds outside in August or September. They must be protected with straw or litter through the winter and transplanted to their permanent position in the spring. The orange daisy, South African orange daisy, has become a great favorite. It was introduced a few years ago and has been made much of at the flower shows and is used largely on big estates. It is excellent for borders and as a pot-plant. THE WHITE CARNATION By BETTY PAKE. The search for the pure white carnation, one that will keep its pure color for a long period, has never been quite successful. It is a fact that the average variety remains under cultivation but a few years, and they are constantly running out. They must, herefore, constantly be replaced by newer and more vigorous varieties grown from the seed. Often a carnation that produces beautiful white flowers for two or three years fails entirely after that time. The common garden soil will not do for the carnation. It should be composed of about three-fourths rich, dark loam and one-fourth well-rotted manure. This should be thoroughly mixed several times and by September the first cuttings should be placed in boxes about five inches deep. Set the plants about ten inches apart. Syringe thoroughly with water until they have a good start. The plants should be staked in order to keep the flowers above the foliage. The soil should be frequently treated with liquid manure—cow, sheep, or hen droppings are excellent—but it should not be too strong, say about the color of weak tea. If you want large flowers you must disbud the plants judiciously. Give them plenty of water and ventilation, and syringe with tobacco extract to discourage the red spider. If potted, they should be in pots of from four to seven inches according to the size of the plants. The best way is to propagate them in cold frames, leaving them uncovered as long as possible. The early frosts will not injure them. As the cold weather comes on, cover the sashes, but on bright, sunshiny days uncover and give them plenty of air. While carnation growing is not particularly difficult, the plants must be attended to with great regularity. They are rich feeders and therefore must have very rich soil, plenty of water and all the air and sun they can get at the last in order to bring them forward quickly. CRIMSON RAMBLER. Some roses—the crimson rambler, for instance—seem particularly liable to mildew. If outdoors the disease may be kept in check by using the ammoniacal solution of copper carbonate applied faithfully with a sprayer, about every two or three weeks, or oftener, if the case seems to require it. Myposulphite of soda, used in proportion of half an ounce to ten gallon of water, is a good spray. In some cases, however, nothing serves to do any good. TRY CYCLAMEN Among winter-flowering plants there is nothing more beautiful than the bulbous greenhouse plant, the cyclamen. They come highly recommended for house culture as they thrive well and bloom profusely in the average temperature of the living room. Their quaintly formed flowers and oddly marked foliage and their variety of shades and wealth of coloring make them an agreeable adjunct to the list of house plants. THE BEAUTY OF HYDRANGEAS Bv LIMA B ROSE. One of the best late flowering, hardy shrubs is the hydrangea. While there are other shrubs that I like better, this one seems to be a favorite with the masses. It has the merit of extreme hardiness, easy culture, great foriferousness, late blooming and persistency. Its flowers lose their early whiteiness as the season advances, but in their pinky brown stage they are not without attractiveness, and even after snow comes they afford pleasing effects when seen against a background of pure white. In planting the hydrangeas, I would never advise using them singly. They are vastly more effective when grouped. By this means we secure for it a strength and dignity which single specimens never have. Planted thickly this plant produces a grand effect. Those who are in search of a plant that will grow in any soil and under almost any condition, and has hardiness enough to withstand the trying ordeal of the severest northern winter, will find the hydrangea the very thing they are looking for. HOME TOWN HELPS Has Been Given a Year's Trial in Tuccson, Arliz., and Seemingly Is There to Stay. Tucson, at the close of a year under the city manager system, is pleased with it and will continue it, though it is free to abandon it, since the system exists by a sort of understanding and not by charter. The old council system prevailed in Tucson, but it was decided before the election to give the manager system a trial for at least a year. It did not seem that under such an arrangement the system could have a fair trial. If the council should at any time divide to engage in politics, the system would go by the board. But, fortunately, the mayor and the council have earnestly assisted in making it a success. They selected a good man for manager and delegated all the power possible to him. There has been no interference with his appointing power. No pressure has been exerted upon him in favor of any applicant for a job. There has been no taint of politics in the city government, which has been the best Tucson has ever had. More has been accomplished in the last year than in any previous year. What has happened in Tucson has happened everywhere the city manager system has been given a fair trial. Phoenix's experience of a year and a half with it has been entirely satisfactory. In the beginning there was a little jarring of the machinery, but for several months it has run smoothly and the result has been profitable in money and good government. Even more is promised for the next year. If it should ever fall down or fall here or elsewhere, it will not be the fault of the system, but the fault of the people in falling to elect the right kind of commissioners, and the people will never commit such a fault if they remain alert to detect the first sign of political canker.—Arizona Republican. STYLES IN FLOWER BEDS Excellent idea Sometimes to Get Away From the Conventional Designs So Often Seen. Do not be afraid to get away from the conventional when making flower beds. Have beds different from those of the neighbors and different from last season's beds. Geraniums, coleus and the other old bedding favorites are good, but it is tiresome to see them everywhere. Verbenas are not bedding novelties, but might be used more generally; also petunias, abuttiles, cupehes, fuchsias, balsams and ivy leaved geraniums. A mixed foliage bed of tropical appearance can be made by the use of the following plants in such combinations as may be desired: Aspidistras, ficus in variety, crottons in variety, dracaenas, pandanus, pepperomia, palms in variety, sansevieria, echeverias, ferns, grevilla robusta, white leaved cineraria and centaurea, pyrethrum, goldenfeather, farfugium, maurandias lobelias, lantanas, cupheas. The last three named will supply a little color in red, white and blue flowers to lighten up the color of the various foliage plants. The taller plants scattered about the bed will supply shade for the smaller shade-loving plants and the ferns, which should be tucked in naturally to fill up space. The variety of colors in the foliage of dracaenas, pandanus, crottons, cineraria, centaurea and pyrethrum will contrast well, if the planting is arranged with care, and the whole will make an unusual and beautiful bed. Support of Vines. In furnishing support for vines that clamber over the walls of the house, do not use strips of cloth, as so many do. The cloth is good for a season only. After the vines have become large and heavy their weight will be sufficient to tear the cloth loose from the tacks that held it in place, especially after a heavy rain or in strong winds, and down will come the plant. It will be found impossible to put it back in place in anything like a satiffactory manner. For supporting large, stiff vines make use of screwhooks, which are easily inserted in wooden walls. Turn the hooks in until there is just enough room between their points and the wall to admit of slipping the vine in. Some vines are not adapted to this treatment. Those can be supported by using strips of leather instead of cloth. The leather should be soaked in oil for 24 hours before using, to make it pliable and water-resisting. Do not use small tacks, as these do not have sufficient hold on the wood to make them dependable. Use nails at least an inch long, with good-sized heads. In a Clean Neighborhood The Chicago health department's bulletin says truly that houses in a clean, well-kept community will sell for more money, will rent more readily and to a better class of tenants than will the same kind of houses in a dirty, neglected neighborhood. Thus, "it pays in dollars and cents to keep clean." Primitive Dyeing. An ingenious Bath (Me.) fisherman, wishing to dye his nets, took a two-quart jar of preserved blueberries and developed a good dye, "setting" the color with a preparation from alum. The nets are now a good indigo blue. Measures to Shut Out Rest Fearing the pest which destroys the mulberry tree, thereby menacing the silk industry, France has prohibited the importation of cut flowers from Italy between May 1 and November 1 each year. Copyright Unauthorized Underwarr THE FASHION ```markdown ``` # COMFORT AND BEAUTY IN NEGLIGEES. Hemstitched and plaited chiffon draped with a fine silk lace makes one of those airy negligee gowns which promise comfort along with beauty for the warm days of summer. More attention has been given this season to pleasing developments of these house gowns, and they have been produced in greater variety of styles and prices than ever before. All the soft and sheer materials and all the flowerlike colors are used with light nets and laces for making them. Printed voles, as lovely in coloring as the more expensive chiffon, and thin cotton crepe, vie with silk materials in the esteem of those who devote attention to designing them. Some models are shown made of thin silk, and many lingerie morning gowns are of the sheerer cottonis in plain white, with lingerie laces, net and embroidery used for their embellishment. Where the matter of keeping cool need not be considered beautiful empire slips of light-colored taffeta are worn under taffeta jackets or THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN ALL SORTS OF SPORTS HATS. Sports and outing hats are classed as one in a new department of millinery that stands for the spirit of the times. There are all sorts of sports hats, from the low-priced but chic fabric-covered shapes which one may buy for a very few dollars, to the expensive hand-wrought shapes with handmade garnitures that cost their possessors several times $10. But sports hats are luxuries which all may enjoy—an extra hat with which the new woman expresses her devotion to out-of-doors and the pleasures of summer time. Besides innumerable fabric-covered hats there are sports hats made of millinery braids and other millinery materials which give designers ample opportunity to depart from the ordinary in creations unlike other millinery. Originality is much prized and the fancy is allowed free play in hats of this character, so that unexpected and even bizarre novelties find ready following. Among the most successful of those lately produced are shapes with round crowns and flexible brims, covered with Turkish towelling in cream color. Fruits and flowers are made of this unpromising material for trimming them, but paint has become a part of the milliners' equipment, and their fruits and flowers show what the artist can do with Leopard Skin for the Summer. A woman well known in Washington society walked down Connecticut avenue the other day wearing an entire leopard skin as a summer neckpiece. It was lined with a myriad of shaded cushion ruffles in tawny brown and cream and on the whole it was less striking than the description sounds. Trains Made of Ribbon. A simple afternoon toilet may be turned into a ceremonious evening ```markdown ``` Copyright Underwood & Underwood long coats, or they form a background for coats of net and lace or other thin materials. In any case ribbons and made roses of silk or chiffon play some part in the exquisite ensemble. The gown pictured here is draped with a wide lace flouncing which covers a considerable portion of it. It is light-pink chiffon and its profuse trimming enlightens us to the fact that it is made to please the eye and to provide the most becoming and least burdensome of summer clothes. A soft cap of chiffon and lace is supported by a covered wire about the face. Roses of satin ribbon set in green ribbon foliage, and hanging loops and ends, supply adornment in keeping with the gown. Nearly all negligees are straight hanging or have an empire waistline, and all of them are more or less be-ribboned. Boudou moccasins made of heavy satin ribbon are fastened with elastic bands covered with ribbon. Little buckles, made of tiny ribbon flowers in several colors, make up the final detail of a captivating negligee toilet. A. homely material. These hats are high in price and in the favor of fashionables. A hat made of small silk pieces in many different colors, joined together with hemmistitching, appears to be inspired by the "crazy quilt" of other days. As patchwork is an American art this bit of bright headwear ought to appeal to Americans. At any rate it is faced with a plain satin and is beautifully made, flaunting its gay colors among fine Panamas and Bangkoks whose elegance is never questioned. Stripes have lodged themselves firmly in the popular mind as the best of the several styles in materials used for sports hats and other sports clothes. A hart and sweater coat are pictured here made of blue and white knitted fabric, and a hat of white canvas cloth with varicolored stripes. They are dependable styles for outing wear. New Colors. Talpe, which is silvery taupe gazelle, something between biscuit and beige and rookie, the grayish tan which was so prominent in the New York Easter parade that it gave an entirely new note to the season's fashions. Avalanche blue, which is the deep, clear blue of saturated snow, the blue of mountain lakes and northern seas. toilet by the addition of a width of wide plain or fancy ribbon, which may fall from the shoulder or from the waist. It falls quite free of the skirt, and it may barely touch the floor or drag several inches. A narrow breadth of any plain beaded or embroidery transparency may be used in the same manner, sometimes prettily finished by a bunch of pink roses. Nail Bleach. Simple lemon juice is the best possible nail bleach. LINCOLN ELECTRIC THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE COLORED Elegant Swimming Pool Dancing Amusements of all kinds MRS.

MARCHBANKS, Sergeant Troop C, Tenth Cavalry. We have here in the army only about 4,000 soldiers of the colored race and I believe the majority of the colored people in this country are discouraging enlistment, and I think they are making a sad mistake. We should always stand ready to offer our service for the protection and honor of this country and flag. The colored man has helped to develop this country from a howling wilderness into an earthly paradise. I hold we can never demand equal rights by standing and wishing, we have to get out and do something; to demand respect we have to face the music. Take the colored man when the sun is shining on his side of the street and he is full of good grub with a couple of drinks under his belt, and he will face a regiment; but take him, on the other hand, as is common with all the human race, when danger is eminent and he is discouraged, hungry and cold, and he would run from a common greaser. What we need is courage and confidence—we have nothing to fear in this country; the colored man will always find friends, and square dealing fair minded white men who will help him in all his laudable undertakings. There is a broad field here in the army for energetic young men. We need more of the better class of our race here. There is plenty of room YOU CAN BE BEAUTIFUL LET US HELP YOU WE SPECIALIZE IN HAIR GOODS AND SELL ALL THE LATEST STYLES IN WIGS, PUFFS, SWITCHES, ETC.

THIS NEWSPAPER Halo Hair Company 647 STEINWAY AVENUE L.L.C. NEW YORK ADVERTISING WANTED at the top. This is a fine place to eradicate prejudice and establish a record for our race. We have already established everlasting records as brave soldiers from the Revolutionary war to the present time. The thing we need now is courage and patriotism. This is our home, our flag, and we should gladly flock to it at all times for the establishment of justice and the insurance of domestic tranquility and the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our people throughout the length and breadth of our country. The colored boy up in Iowa who refused to salute the United States flag at school, a few weeks ago, should be made to salute it ten times a day for 365 days. Some colored people in this country are narrow minded and disloyol enough to think this poor little black boy was right in not saluting the flag. Those people who are not willing to stand and abide by the laws of this country should pack up their belongings and go to some place where they can make a better living and get better treatment. We should learn to stop fussing about the way we are treated and make it a rule to treat ourselves better and get out and do something for the uplift and advancement of our race. If we love our country and are loyal to our leaders we will demand respect. If, on the other hand, we are disloyal to our country and despise its laws, we are doomed. We would do well to follow the advice and teaching of those of our race who have accomplished something. EDINA, MO. Closing exercises at the Washington school, Prof. A. A. Hughes, principal, were the best ever held in this city, and reflects much credit upon the ability of the principal. Exercises were held in the White high school auditorium.
