In certain states, including New York and New Jersey, the day is a legal holiday, and the celebrations are conducted by both white and colored organizations. In other sections as well, however, societies and other organizations arranged programs and entertainments in honor of the day. In New York and vicinity many scores of organizations and institutions paid tribute to the great emancipator, exercises even being held on the succeeding Sunday because of its convenience. At the Lincoln House, 202 West 63d street, it was ceremonial and Miss Morgan programs, sent her memorial for the children in the afternoon from 4 to 6, and for the adults at night.

On Sunday afternoon one of the most notable programs completed by the memorial school tendered at the Music School Settlement 4-6 West 131st street, J. Rosamond Johnson, supervisor, when Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue, delivered an eloquent address on the life of Lincoln, and James W. Johnson, contributing editor to The Age, read his two years, composed on the half-century anniversary of the issuing of the conantation proclamation, January 1, 1913. An eliatorate celebration was conducted by the Westchester Negro League at Philipsburgh Hall, Yonkers, N. Y., on first night night, mail H. Bray, president of the address on Lincoln was delivered by Frank L. Young of Ossining, while John C Dauy's recorder of deeds, Washington, D. C., spoke on Douglass, Celebration, D. C., sent to Newton, T. N., Philadelphia, Pa.; Washington, D. C., Man-ter, Q. and many other places. AT THE MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT. The largest crowd that has ever attended the music-lecture recitals under the supervision of J. Rosamond Johnson at T. Minn. School Settlement welcome and enjoyed the interesting and intimate addresses on Lincoln by Hon. Charles Anderson, who cited historical fact that were a revelation. He said a point. Neither the South nor the North nor the American people, nor the people of the British Empire are altogether similar to the institution of slavery. In a curious fact that up to 1805 then, the British Empire was papered up in Virginia there were in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts combined. It is equally curious that the Presidential election of 1801 Virginia was practically a pro-slavery man while Thomas Joterson, the candidate of South, was an anti-slavery man. Philadelphia a Southman by birth, but a Virginia man by birth, slaves and found their homes and employment with people in New England. John G. Palfrey of Louisiana on the basis of his father freed every slave which inherited from his father's estate. The anti-slavery tendency of Virginia cooled when Eli Whitney, a cotton man and a graduate of Yale, invented the cotton gin and thereby made cotton more and more professionally prolonged its life for a period of fifty years. England herder is not exempt from griticism in shorthold. The great Queen Elizabeth, the great Queen Elizabeth the brave light for freedom of fellow citizens and the end of the slaves. She conferred in order of Knighthood on John Blackman the inventor of the English novel for which invention she provided for which knoeling Black-Moor. Daniel De Foer of his day, in creating the most religious hero in fiction, Rob- inson Crusso, made of him a Brazilian slave; trader who was 'shipwrecked' while bringing a cargo of alvas from Africa to Brazil. Thus you see both sections of our country, as well as the mother country, were responsible for the terrible death of the slave, and therefore, when discussing the question to treat both the North and the South with precautionary respect. Men of both sections believed or pretended to be slaveholders, and their foreror to the white man, and as a matter of fact, with a few honorable exceptions, men of both sections to-day public station, act, even if they were slaveholders, though they believe the same doctrine. In all history there is no record of a 'man whose life was more unselfish, who was inspired by ideals more exalted or unimaginable by courage more magnificent or excruciated by noble, or justified by results, more magnificent than Abraham Lincoln. Nor was his services confined to our race. As valuable as they were to us, to his people, he was not the motion in large. When he reached the White House he found the Treasury empty and he filled it. He found the public credit dead, and he resumed his duties. He restored and he restored it. He found the Army and Navy disorganized and partly disloyal, and he reorganized and reconstructed them. He found 4,000 more soldiers than they had them. In so doing he freed both races—one from physical bondage and the other from moral and intellectual bondage—and both started almost simultaneously to fill the destiny of this great country among the 'countries of the world. And as we started together, we must end together. We started with most unequal equipment, to be' sure, and, as the Heavens from this earth, but I rejoice to think we have marched in the same direction and to the same music ever since, with varying fortunes and unequal steps, but with no steps at all, until we had actually ready to give the best, we have—the best any race has—its life, in the defense of the institutions and the flag of our common country. Mr. Bradley of Philadelphia responded with expressions of choice appreciation. Hon! James W. Johnson read his poem, "Witty Years," in an impressive manner. The Music School male quartet was heard for the first time and met the approval of the audience. Miss Lightner of the Music School lightened the audience with "The Awakening" by Mr. Johnson, and responded with an encore. G. H. Bolden, vocal instructor at the Music School, sang in brilliant style "The Wind on the Heath," by Hermann Löhr. Mr. Blackshear amused the audience with Paul Lawrence Dunbar's "Georgia Philosophy" and "Tonk" by James W. Johnson. AT THE LINCOLN HOUSE For the juveniles a program was arranged for 4 o'clock p. m.

A very adequate address was delivered by Counselor F. Q. Morton. After the speech the interest remained high, for seemingly all wanted to say a word about the great emancipator. A recent attendance on these meetings is an education for a person. It is remarkable to see the number of business men who are taking an active part in this work. AT THE 8AINT MARK'S LYCEUM. The Lincoln night musical soiree rendered by E. S. Simons and A. T. Williams, Thursday evening, February 11, at St. Mark's Lyceum, was of the very best, arranged and performed this program. Mrs. P.

A feature of the meeting SPINGARN MEDAL GOES TO ERNEST EVERETT JUST Important Medical and Scientific Journals. Have Published Many of His Articles on Biological and Physiological Investigations-He is 31 Years Old. Nearly two thousand people assembled in the auditorium of the meeting house of the New York Society for Ethical Culture, where the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held its annual public meeting on Lincoln's Birthday, in connection with which the first Spingarn medal to be awarded was presented by Governor Whitman to DR, ERNEST EVERETT JUST Awarded the First Spingarn Medal Dr. Ernest Everett Just, head of the department of physiology at Howard University, Washington. Oswald Garrard Villanard presided, and in his introductory remarks said: "There has been in Washington an outburst of negotiation of one kind, another. This has given us concern in view of the fact, I regret to state, that we are not sure that the gentlemen have negotiation upon to make good his promises made during the campaign, that if he entered the White House he would do everything in his power to advance the interests of the colored people to be the President of the entire nation." In presenting the Spingarn medal to Dr. Just Governor Whitman said that in the gain or loss of one race all the rest have equal claim. We are one group in New York. We have a common duty and a common destiny. The sacred privileges of American citizenship must be denied to one. The spirit prompts us to hold that of fellowship as a sign of brotherhood, fellowship and Americanism. Dr. Just, in accepting, said his thanks for the award were not so much for himself as for the students he represents. He was born in Charleston, S. C., thirty-one years ago. He was-prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, N. H., and was graduated from Dartmouth in 1907, magna cum laude, being the only one of his chase records. He received his philology, which 1904 he has devoted his summers to research work at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. He has been special research work in Physiology and Zoology since 1911. He has been since 1912 a regular contributor to scientific periodicals. The Biological Bulletin, the official organ of the Marine Biological Laboratory, has published a series of his scholarly accounts of his scientific investigations. He has now in press an article which is to appear in the organ of the Wistar Institute of Medicine and Biology, Philadelphia. William Pickens' left no phase of the Negro problem untouched. He said: "It is not pity that we want, but the strict application of the principles of justice. The Negro is counted equal to the white man in the payment of fares, fines and taxes, but inferior in the sharing of privileges and opportunities. With仁 in his head and the ballot in his hand, no one can ultimately be suppressed." E. B. Du Bois closed the meeting in an address outlining the immediate program of the American Negro. There were speeches by Mirza Ali Kudi Kahn, representative of Persia to the United States, Mrs. Perkins Gilman and Linden Dates, Jr. OKLAHOMA TO AMEND OKLAHOMA CITY, OKla. Feb. 16. It is probable that an effort will be made in the State Legislature to amend the Jim Crow law so as to make it comply with the requirements of the decision of the United States Supreme Court. Bill will be presented this week, it is thought. Speaker A. McCrysay is quoted as saying that he will personally see to the presentation of this proposed legislation, if necessary.

RACE SEGREGATION FORBIDDEN IN ATLANTA Special to The New York Age ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 16—Segregation in Atlanta has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Georgia, in passing upon an ordinance passed by the city council to segregate the residences of African-Americans. The ordinance designated certain city blocks for the residence of whites, certain ones for Negroes, and others where both races might live. The court, in its decision, said that to prohibit members of the two races from living in the same city block was to "separate the races." The court acquires, enjoy or displace of property, and for these reasons is violative of the due process clause of the federal and state constitutions." MAN WHO NEVER SLEPT IS DEAD IN HALTIMORE B.

Three Days' Exhibit of Social and Industrial Activities of District Residents at Lincoln House and Neighboring Churches, February 18-20. A change in the character of residents in that section of the city on the west side which has for a long time been designated as, "San Juan Hill," has wrought a desire that this opprobrious designation might be doe away with. It was applied in the first place because of the militant atmosphere which is present in the city. Its origination in the mind of some patriotic spirit who remembered the work of the gallant Negro soldiers in Cuba. But the conditions associated with the name in its later application have made it objectionable to the decent, law-abiding residents of the section. The West End Workers' Association, with headquarters at 202 West 63d street, is making an effort to induce the public to discontinue the use of the objectionable title, substituting therefor the name Columbus Hill, which title is selected because of its location, circle, Columbus avenue, and the fact that the section is included in the Columbus telephone district. Besides sending a letter to the various papers of the city, daily and weekly, the association has arranged for this week a three days' exposition of the social and domestic activities of the residents of the district, under the name of the Columbus Hill Exhibit, and elaborate programs have been arranged for conference and guest classes of January 18, 19 and 20.

Under the name of 'San Juan Hill' it had been known to the world at large as a place of disorder; a reflection upon a worthy name and many worthy people. Not any longer are we to permit our light to be hidden beneath a basket, as it were; we intend to show, in our neighborhood churches and halls and at the settlement house, our excellencies.

Speak to us, Hancock, Ga., Feb. 16—Judge Park to-day made an earnest appeal to the Grand Jury to indict every member of the mob that recently lynched four Negroes at this place or whipping a policeman who tried to arrest them on the charge of selling whisky. Judge Clark said in-part to the Grand Jury: "It is strange that men of the white race should so far forget themselves as to join a mob to do violence on Negroes; life by mob violence is not in accordance with the traditions that have governed the Anglo-Saxon race from time immemorial. It is cowardly murder for a mob to wrist a prisoner from an offence of robbery; it is riddle it with bullets. The members of the mob have placed on the pages of Georgin history a blot that time will not efface for many years to come." WOULD TAKE MONEY WOULD MAKE MONEY FROM HOWARD UNIV.

Hans, and Universal Lodge of this city from continuing she suspensions of certain members of the latter body. The members were charged with appearing in court last winter in injunction by Henry Valentine, at that time worshipful master of Universal Lodge, seeking to prevent the Grand Lodge from unduly interfering with him as presiding officer.

Bryant, Head of Sunday School Union, Files His Charges with.Bishops and Demands Action on Them. SAYS JONES IS A GRAFTER Uses as Henchmen Men of Debased Character Who Can Be Used for a Reward of Money or Preferment in Church to Further His Purpose. The Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. Church, in session at the St. James A. M. E. Church, New Orleans, La., has been called upon by Ira E. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, with headquarters at Nashville, Tenn., to investigate charges of the most serious nature which he has preferred against Bishop Joshua H. Jones, of Xenia, Ohio, who presides over the Alabama and Tennessee conferences. The charges, which embrace alleged "stealing, lying, maladministration, neglect of duty, and conduct unbecoming a bishop of the church, and other offences that exclude one from grace and glory," were first published in the Young Allenite early in 1914, and reiterated in the Nashville News, February 5, 1915. In making public the charges against Bishop Jones, Mr. Bryant appeals to the Bishops' Council for the appointment of committees from the various annual conferences of the district to hear the case. Numerous instances are cited in which alleged actions of the Bishop come under the head of violations of church law as well as of Episcopal ethics. In making his charges Mr. Bryant has not hesitated to lay himself open to the possibility of facing a suit for damages or for criminal libel, but he declares that he will gladly face such charges, and states that although Bishop B. F. Lee has advised Bishop Jones to file such a suit, for some reason Jones had failed to sue. The charge is also made that Bishop Jones has not scruped to use as henchmen of the most debased moral character. It is charged that the Rev. W. H. Mixon, of Alabama, who is now one of the leading officials in the G. U. O. O. F., being a grand auditor, is one of the men used by Bishop Jones. Speaking of Mixon, Bryant uses the following language: "Everybody knows Mixon. Bishop Jones knew him as a conscious character about a Wilberforce commencement, for it was there Mixon met and won one of the grandest women the race ever produced. Miss Elizabeth Jackson, who died for the actual necessities of life after marrying him. . . . Nobody who knows Mixon intimately believes there is anything under the sun too dirty for Mixon to do for money or a little popularity. Bishop, Jones knew the character of Mixon and that he would serve so his first official act after service, so his first official act after service, to this district was to make Mixon presiding elder of the Huntsville district. . . . He found Mixon serving a mission, for it had not been quite four years that he was expelled from the church for seducing a woman." Lamentable Conditions in Church. The Rev. J. Q. Johnson of Tennessee, said by Mr. Bryant to be a "backboneless, but otherwise, respectable gentleman," is another of the men referred to as the bishop's 'henchman, and Mr. Bryant makes the charge that Johnson, was carried through Alabama and Tennessee by Bishop Jones as his private secretary, each conference having to pay Johnson $20. In the introduction to his first letter mentioning public the charges against Bishop Jones, Bishop dechardt that "conditions existing in him, have deceived him, give any true African Methodist alumn." he says further: "The great question before us is, How can these conditions be reenacted? There is a large class of good men in our church who love the church as they do life itself they realize that the Church of Aachen is losing ground rapidly, but they denounce the acts of the radical, and prefer, as they say, to leave the matter with the Lord. I don't be longing to that class, because I firmly believe that God helps only those who help themselves, that he who would be free must strike the first blow. There is a class who console themselves with the drought that certain evils will awaken and that the graver of today is no worse than the grafter of yesterday, and he, too, is hoping that the good Lord will come down and do for him what he is too big a coward to do for himself: I have no doubt but that my mail will be flooded with letters urging me to keep quiet lest I hurt myself, meaning that the place of home I now hold might be taken from me. The reason is that I would be better than a bishop the evils retarding the growth of the church, and there is no doubt in my mind as to just what my duty is." After declaring that he has nothing in his heart against Bishop Jones, and that he has prayed and hoped the bishop would try to fulfill the expectations of those who helped place him in the episcopal seat by giving an administration based upon the discipline of the church, Mr. Bryant says: "I mean to show by indisputable evidence that the record of Bishop Jones is the worst, in things considered, of all bishops grafting bishop before him could, after so short a period of two years, furnish a record the equal of his. And it must be borne in mind that Bishop Jones is not poverty-striken—as was his wife, the bishop elected. He likes to boost of his great wealth—his wonderful farms and valuable realty holdings in large cities. On his farm of from 500 to 1,000 acres, is to be found in the city of Irtho from forty to fifty fine cows, anyone of which will sell for $150, their wagon load of milk being peddled every day. Sunday included, on the streets of Xenia. He has the money, he has the money, he has the money, caused him of stealing much of it from the school, and for that reason throw him out of office. "In the Southern Recorder appeared an article from this backboneless, but otherwise respectable gentleman." (The Rev T. S. Johnson). The Bishop's Tyranny. "Dr. Johnson says in his article, that Bishop Jones is fatherly in his dealings with the men—no tyrant, and uses no coercion. Nobody knows better than Johnson how utterly false is such dealings, and how much coercion? Let me ask him a couple of questions? You were present at the West Tennessee conference at Memphis when Bishop Jones stopped the conference and gave him a minute money. You heard Bishop Jones tell this poor fellow that he would give him one hour to raise that money, or else he would SUSPEND him and Rev. Lewis or somebody impressed with him. He gave a dollar on the table and appeal to the conference and public, which resulted in the raising of the money and saving of Brown from suspension. If that is not true and coercion, what is? Where is Bishop Jones and coercion, what is? Supporting under such conditions? You heard him abuse W. H. Shelby most savagely, who, after reporting a shortage in educational money, admonished him. He had received about $400 salary for the year. You heard Jones say 'Don't you dare come before me and admit having received so much salary as that you are behind on your assessment as you are.' You were present at the North Alabama conference when a superanuated preacher objected to having his allowance reduced from $100 to $75. This preacher objected to having 36 per cent of the Dollar Money was according to the law, more than $200. You heard Bishop Jones, while stealing all he could get his hands on, say to that poor fellow like this: 'You ought to have a job, you ought to lay in a laymen in these Jews who have worked and sacrificed as much for the church as you, but who get nothing when they become disabled.' That was a dirty, lying appeal to the gallant preacher, so say to that fatherly and will make the sacrifices for the church that have been made by these men on our superanuated lists. That kind of talk comes in poor taste from a man like Bishop Jones, who started with nothing, but who now delight to talk of his great wealth. Name one single sacrifice he has ever made. On the contrary, all he has, came from the church. Johnson knows and doesn't believe one half he says. I have shown how utterly helpless Johnson is, after having been carried over the district by Jones as private secretary, and given $20 in each conference, and given Allen has not been jointly with Jones in the conference Jones has done. To "hush Allen up," Bishop Jones had each conference of the state this year give Allen $10; total from four conferences $40. Then he sets to work to "wish me over," by using the same money as a "hustle" for the race. He then accepted the money Allen had, accepted the money UN-LAWFULLY DONATED in each conference. In the letter he advises me not to allow any commission to Allen on subscriptions to the Southern Christian Record, as he Jones) had paid him a minute from this district and you will see how money is voted to "visiting brother" out of the 26 per cent fund. Bishop Wants a Northern Conference. Now Bishop Jones is not in the habit of sending letters like this. He has never taken any special interest in any other department, know what Dr. Jones has pressed out these conferences, nor has he commissioned from me. Had he really desired to help me with the burden of printing Southern Recorder, he could have given the $40 direct to this department. But no, he thought to buy a copy of the same money, he could say, Dr. Allen, my collars and commission, too, as I refused "to bite," and in fact, did not even tell Dr. Allen what Bishop Jones had written me. But I close this port of my article with this statement: Whenever a district takes 2 in the fall, in this district takes 2 in the spring, in this standing Bishop Jones better," etc., mark it down he has either already bought, or has himself for sale. I have repeatedly stated that Bishop Jonas, while grafting every dime in debt, has his eyes on the third Epiphanal district for next quidniumn. Phase two new conferences in Alabama are simply a part of the scheme to gain strength on the Epiphanal Committee. Alabama on the need and has not asked for any new conferences. Bishop Jones took the floor in each conference; and begged the men to vote for them, reminding them that it would furlish many new places for them "anxious to be presiding elders." Somebody is going to ask by what law I hope to have Bishop Jones tried during the interim of a general conference. I mean to prefer 'charges on the book' to 'charges on the power to try him if he' the 'accuse of any crime expressly forbidden in the word of God,' etc. The good book says, "Thou shall not steal." I am accusing him of stealing. The good book says, "Thou shall not burn in the lake that burns with fire," etc. I am accusing him of lying, in that he is presenting annual conferences and boards with bills for traveling expenses printing, etc. in some instances ten dollars a bill for the conference are. When he presents to the annual conference a bill for $26 for parchments that did not really cost $5, he certainly lies. I am preferring the charges before the bishops for the four Alabama conferences more than the senior bishop shall appoint a committee of clerks. The hands of the senior bishop are tied, in that he allowed Bishop Jones to graft for him out of the four Alabama conferences more than $20. I simply ask the bishops to decide this position is the correct one. Bishop Turner visited the recent sessions of the four Alabama conferences, and allowed Bishop Jones to have $500 each conference, each conference, $200 in all. While this was nothing less than highway robbery, I have no fight to make on him. He is a good student in school, and out of respect for his粗犷 bats and long service, and the weak district under him, and the few years of life left to him, we will "just shut him up" and give him these committees. His accustomed travel expenses did not equit $40. Will Not Be Bull-dozed. To those who criticize me for "tiring" those charges in advance of the trials, I cite for a precedence, the action of our distinguished Bishop Tyree, Jr. of the University of Wright-Lowe controversy to a secular paper, the Nashville Globe, before any church trial had ever been held. I know hundreds of shungel work colleagues made by the man accused; will waste allons of ink in applying a certain action of the Dispellite to my action, and will not allow my limitations. Let offences appear in the docket in the order of priority. I don't mean to be bullied. I was assaulted at Sedma, and Montevallo, but I could not yield, still I am amu dismayed. I'll reason with you but you can't coerce me. A hundred thousand of those, circular scattered throughout the room, will not sully. If that won't, I can hand out one or two of the speeches delivered by Bishop Jones last year throughout the church, or, more fittingly the intermittent rains that will be "stirling below the bolt," but it would not be half so coerced as the common practice of bishops pouncing innocent wives and children by sending them to the church of no greater offense than during to be a man instead of a slave. Then, too, deep down in my heart of believing I must, and with that belief supporting not care a rap what anybody thinks. In beginning the letter published in the Nashville Verge, February 5, 1915, Mr. Bryant refers to Bishop Jones as "a black slave driver whose highest ambition is to get money—a disgrace to the church." The assertion is made that the ministers of the Alabama conferences, into outstanding the financial panic of the past few months, were told by Bishop Jones that they should not your basket' for ten months, you have milked my cows, you have churned my milk, you have sold my butter, and I will not permit you to come up here and hold back the part that belongs to me, Ministers, short in their Dollar Money, Bryant alleges, were forced to give personal notes, indorsed by their presiding ministers. In the East Alabama conference the Dollar Money is made that men short in the church, to write the bishop a check for the salary, "tough they told him they had not put in the bank, or that they never had a "k account. To these the bishop would reply, it is said: 'Can't feel it, brother, give me a check.' On Alabama it is a penitentiary offense to knowingly write in writing a check on a bank with no funds in said to protect said bank." Forced Fund for European Trip. Referring to a trip to Europe made by piston jones for when it was claimed a laboratory fund of $1,200 was raised, the Deputy said: "The pathetic stories of hard times coming from our presiding elders and his greed for money and to strengthen his greed for money and to奠基 chance change him hammurring away for life and death, to wiring from them that Thirty Dollars a district, which he got on his European trip, to the United States, to the times, compelling men, to give him $1,200 to go abroad. There is not one word of truth in this rot about a "voluntary act on the part of the men" they gave it because they knew that to reward them they would offer us presiding elders. They will say they didn't because they know to say anything else would mean the same thing." According to accepting the opportunity to attend this article in the Southern Disorder because Dr. Allen demands the elimination of this and one other paragraph. But why? Dr. Allen knows how those pledges were secured—by the earliest kind of intimidation, W. H. Mixon, a dirty henhoman wrote the resolutions and asked, the presiding elders to sign them. Bishop Jones' made it clear that Mixon was his spokesman, whose every act was endorsed by him, "because he was a man of honor." Mixon was "Johnny on the spot" when Mixon read them at the conference. At the following trustee meeting of Selina, Bishop Jones, addressing the board said "I am a man of honor whom honor is due. The honor of being the first presiding elder to send his Thirty Dollars on my European trip belongs to Presiding Elder West, who is the president of the organization," etc. If there was a fool who has ever looked into the face of a grafting bishop who doesn't know Jones' purpose in bringing the matter up in this way? Certainly he was a savvy notice maker. The bishop was never mentioning in a conference conference and yet commissions were appointed in each conference to raise the issue. ATTORBISH JOHNSON HIMSEL APPPOINTED SOME, IF NOT ALL, OF THESE COMMISSIONS. I believe I speak the truth when I say that Bishop Jones has collected in this district, more than $3000 for me and for my family, for the thing that makes this such a remarkable record: I challenge Bishop Jones or any of his friends to name ten, just ten places in the whole district, outside of animosity, in a chance to look into his face during the past twelve months. In fact, I challenge anybody to name twenty-five such places in the whole district, that he has witted us and taught us, and over us. I call the Judas Iscariots who have sold themselves for favors, speak up and defend their man. I take that back; let the "honest and loyal" men who simply stand for their faith. From them for women with their denials and disprove my statements. Falsehood More Natural Than Truth Bishop Jones is one of those queen characters with whom it comes more natural to tell a falsehood than the man he is. He has money and power and it matters nothing to him how he gets it. In the recent session of the Tennessee conference when some of us opposed his dirty business, he was mission preachers of their money, he came in with the finance, committees and with hand raised to God swear that they the committee) had divided the money taken 36 per cent of the Dollar Money proper and that's all, One-half of the Children's Day Money and all of the Missionary Money they had kept in private pile and used for other purposes. Talk about the truth. Ask Rev. Iraxton if Jönes did not censure him for spending $30 for the funeral of Further Durdis and say that he should be held accountable for his heurse. Ask some honest man in North Alabama conference if he did not tell the superannuated preachers who complained that their money under the law was not being paid by one-half, that they ought to be satisfied that they were not being worked as much as they for the church but received nothing in their old age. Many good men seem to think that the light in this district has done the church harm and seem anxious to see it end, and even if some little harm has been done, it is only temporiry. One thing is certain, there will be no "let up" phrase in the statement that the priest administer the law justice; he would administer that same law worse he not in the South. Get Bishop Jones cornered and the first yell he'll make is that he can not getting any more information that Bishop Jones that's no argument the speeching of one thief is no justification for that of another, e reasons that no general conference could impress him as a good man, even a vexed word) methods of so many of the other bishops. Maybe not, but thank God we can hold up his life before the world as a mighty object lesson to the dangers against the desirable greed for money. Until this "man of God" came to us, our annual conferences were spiritual feasts, now they are the shopping malls, now they are changes, and in the West, Alabama churches dreeds of people who came on Thursday night to hear God's word preached were turned away. Bishop Jones had them over价拍 the hands of a woman, a minister said to me, "A minister said to me, 'I prayed, I never felt so cheap' in my life as I did when I heard a layman turning away in dismay, remark." Let him give his show. Bishop Jones has initiated that the third and fourth districts are wild to have him come to them. Take him brothren, and may the Lord have mercy upon your souls. Nobody knows that this district doesn't want him. Now, I have tried to be very mild and conservative, not only in what I have said, but in the language used. I have always taken unless the men who "steer the ship" know what those mistakes are, it's your duty, it's my duty, to give the other fellow information we possess, and that's what I am doing. I don't think that there is something personal that keeps Bishop Jones and myself apart. They are mistaken. He is as kind to me as he can be, and I am not a friend. Our friendship. I believe Bishop Jones' personality, together with the character his life portraits, to be the greatest curse that has ever come to the church. "Three or four more," he says, "must not be mistaken like him on the bench, and our church would not last ten years." PHILADELPHIA, PA. WOLF BROTHERS' Improved 1915 Model, 8 oz.

Depot feb. 13.90 THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers. It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office. Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

Spingarn be the most during the past year to the progress and advancement of the Negro race. The awarding committee, composed of Dr. J. H. Dillard, Oswald Garrison Villard, John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, ex-President Howard University, H.L. Hill, has announced its finding, but the rumor is prevalent that Prof. E. J. Just of Howard University, W. E. Washington, D. C. who has made a flattering record in biology, will receive the prize. Mr. Just is a native of Charleston, S. C., and graduated from Dartmouth College. Our Harlem contemporary, The Amsterdam, News, carried the following news item in its issue of Friday, February 12: Trotter Gets. Spingarm Medal.

Among the distinguished speakers will be the Persian Ambassador. On Friday night, February 12, the Spingarn Medal was awarded to Prof. Ernest Everett Just. When you see it in The Age you can depend on it. NEGROES IN NEW A correspondent writing to one of the New York dailies asks why the paper, in addition to its editorials against race separation in Minnesota Sunday. Schools and Washington street cars, did not say something against the exclusion of Negroes from work at trades in this city. The editor replied that the trades unions in New York had no rules against permitting Negroes to join. Whether the editor of the paper referred to is correct or not in what he says; this fact certainly stands out. Negroes do not work at trades in New York as they do in other cities, especially those rather south. It is a rare thing that are colored men working here one of the standard trades such as that of carpenter and brick mason. Whether this is due to obstacles put in their way by the local unions or to a scarcity of Negro artisans The Age would like to know. It might be, as the editor of the New York daily says, that there are no rules against permitting Negroes to join the trades unions of this city; and yet obstacles may be raised that would be stronger than such rules. The Age would like to hear from readers who know from experience that colored artizans are not generally allowed to work at their trades in New York or the contrary. The various bread lines in this city re made up of men of all kinds and classes; yet the number furnished by the legro race is next to nothing. Someow, in spite of our economic handicaps, we manage pretty well to keep out of bread lines and institutions of charity. A despatch tell us on one day that the Allies have gained 500 yards, and on another day we learn that the Germans have regained 250 yards; the war seems to have taken on the aspects of a football game. HOWARD UNIVERSITY ATTACKED. The Southern Democrats in Congress are determined not to lose any chance to boost their record of anti-Negro legislation. The latest addition to the already high record comes from Representative Sisson of Mississippi. The gentleman from Mississippi, on a point of order, had the Howard, University appropriation totaling $101,000 dropped from the sundry civil bill, and the measure passed the House without this item. The point of order raised and sustained was, that Howard University is not a Government institution and that appropriations for it have no authorization by statute. The unanimous consent request to have the Howard items returned to the bill, made by Representative Parker, was not granted because of the refusal of Representative Sisson to concur. The latter maintained that with him it was simply a question of the illegality of appropriating the money without original authorization by statute. The fact that Congress has regularly made this appropriation for the past thirty years had no weight with him. It is a refreshing sight to see Mr. Sisson so concerned about the strict observance of the law, inasmuch as he comes from a state in which love and reverence for law is about on a par with the observance of the Ten Commandments in Hades. We sincerely hope that he will not expend all of his righteous enthusiasm on the Howard appropriation, but that he will reserve some of it for much needed work when he gets back home. Some of it, for example, could be very properly used in the community which recently lynched a Negro and his wife on suspicion of burning a barn. What do these 22 calibre statesmen think will be the results of this Negro baiting which they are so tirelessly carrying on in Congress? Of course, they know that they are injuring the race, but do they also know that they are hastening their own political doom and that of their party? The fair-minded people of the United States will not tolerate the injustice and inhumanity which these Negrophobists are too plainly displaying. Perhaps, following a strictly technical construction of law, Howard might be deprived of its appropriation, but the long established precedent of Congress and the merits of the case outweigh any slight technicality. We believe the items will be returned to the bill and that Howard will receive its appropriation. We are glad to note the work being done toward this end by Representatives Fitzgerald of New York, Parker of New Jersey and Mondell of Wyoming. It is also gratifying to see that, at least, one Southern Congressman, Sherley of Kentucky, is working in behalf of the University. * COMMENTS HERE AND THERE. Not so very many years ago a common subject for debate used to be. "Is a college education a drawback to making a living?" The following dispatch from Newark is food for argument: TALKS TEN TONGUES. STARVES. College Education and Globe Trotting Didn't Hide HACKENSACK, N. J., Feb. 14—Charles Williamson, home minister, walked into police headquarters here to night and night's lodging. He said that he had travelled all over the city he could speak and write ten languages. He also said his intention hadn't done him much good. It appears, so far as making a living is concern, Williamson was right when he said his college education from much good. This, to be sure, is no indication that succeeded without a college education. "The trouble is that the idea that a college education guarantees the easy living. No greater mistake could be made. In fact, contrary is true. Making a living by means of a co-requires more energy, more application, more grit, and altogether a harder job than loading cotton on a steamboat. The United States has produced some poets and distinction, but it is certain that much of their work is for the work of Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer days ago in her ninety-fifth year. She was the writer of Gospel hymns that have stirred more hearts than a work of all the American poets and musicians combined at some time in life had his soul stirred by "Safe Jesus," "Pass Me not, O Gentle Saviour," "Rescue and "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross." Do you know the trade at which the great major work? Well, here is an extract from a bulletin issued by the Bureau of Education which settles the question employed. Of the 31,000,000 females over 10 years of age employed, of the 31,000,000 females over 10 years of age employed, the great majority of women become at one time in life had his soul stirred by "Safe Jesus," "Pass Me not, O Gentle Saviour," "Rescue and "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross." Two despatches from the South one from August from Mayfield, Ky., tell the news of the lynching of that week. No moral sanction will ever rouse the South country for that matter—to put down this form of lynching of a few, white men—and women, too, up. The Atlanta "Constitution" in commenting on the "lynchfast" said: Lynchings have been growing less frequent in Georgia during the past few years. The phenomenon may be traced to a courageous judiciary and an aroused public conscience, a working upon both.

The talk about "a courageous judiciary," "an a conscience," and "a fearless press" is just so much The last sentence of the "Constitution" editorial count. Well, if it is necessary to lynch a few white men to order to make the pastime of lynching unpopular work proceed. We feel confident that there is at least a smile in the SCENE—VAUDEVILLE STAGE. HACKENSMACK, N. J., Feb. 14—Charles Williamson, homeless and peniless, walked into police headquarters here to-night and asked for a night's lodging. He said that he had travelled all over the world, and that he could speak and write ten languages. He also said his college education hadn't done him much good. It appears, so far as making a living is concerned, that Mr. Williamson was right when he said his college education hadn't done him much good. This, to be sure, is no indication that he would have succeeded without a college education." The trouble is, some people get the idea that a college education guarantees the making of an easy living. No greater mistake could be made. In fact, exactly the contrary is true. Making a living by means of a college education requires more energy, more application, more grit, more work, and is altogether a harder job than loading cotton on a Mississippi steamboat. The United States has produced some poets and musicians of distinction, but it is certain that much of their work will be outlived by the work of Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer, who died a few days ago in her ninety-fifth year. She was the writer of simple "Gospel hymns" that have stirred more hearts than the protentious work of all the American poets and musicians combined. Who has not at some time in life had his soul stirred by "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." "Pass Me not, O Gentle Saviour." "Rescue the Perishing," and "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross?" Do you know the trade at which the great majority of women work? Well, here is an extract from a bulletin issued by the United States Bureau of Education which settles the question: It says: Home-making outranks all other trades in the number of persons employed. Of the 31,000,000 females over 10 years of age in the United States 24,000,000 are engaged in home-making. While girls may enter other trades, the great majority of women become at one time or other home-makers. Wage-earning for them is but a temporary affair which they will leave for a permanent position in their own homes. In picking out a trade to follow, it is only common sense to pick out one in which the greatest number of persons are successful. If you lived in a Middle-West town you would, of course, choose to be a carpenter or a painter rather than a diamond cutter. Since home making is the trade most successfully followed by the greatest number of women in the country, a girl is wise in making it her choice. She is wiser still if she carefully prepares herself for the job. Two despatches from the South, one from Augusta, Ga., and one from Mayfield, Ky., tell the news of the lynching of two white men last week. No moral sanction will ever rouse the South—or the whole country for that matter—to put down this form of lawlessness like the lynching of a few white men—and women, too, just, to even things up. The Atlanta "Constitution" in commenting on the recent Georgia "lynchfest" said: Lynchings have been growing less frequent in Georgia and the South during the past few years. The phlegmonion may be traced to two causes: A courageous judiciary and an aroused public conscience, a fearless press working upon both. The press must sustain Judge Park and the better element in Jasper County, whom, we are certain, view with shame the blot upon their county. The lawless element must be taught a lesson. If several Negroes can be lynched for a crime that was not even a capital offense, and go unwhipped of justice, what guarantee is there that the lives of white men and women under similar circumstances are safe? The talk about "a courageous judiciary," "an aroused public conscience," and "a fearless press" is just so much Georgia rhetoric. The last sentence of the "Constitution" editorial contains the plain truth. Well, if it is necessary to lynch a few white men and women, in order to make the pastime of lynching unpopular, let the good work proceed. We feel confident that there is at least a smile in this: First Comedian—Do you know Mark Twain? Second Comedian—No, never heard of him. First Comedian—Do you mean to tell me you don't kno Second Comedian—That's exactly what. First Comedian—You certainly must have heard of ison. Second Comedian—Puddin' Head Wilson? Oh yes, I re him about two years ago. First Comedian—Do you mean to tell me you don't know Mark Twain? Second Comedian—That's exactly what. First Comedian—You certainly must have heard of Puddin' Head Wilson: Second Comedian—Puddin' Head Wilson? Oh yes, I remember 1 voter for him about two years ago. One by one the mysteries of life are solved. The latest to undergo solution is one connected with the subway. You have no doubt, often rushed out of an express train and across the platform only in time to see the local train pulling out of the station; and vice versa. You have probably attributed this tantalizing practice to some diabolical trait in the soulless corporation that operates the subway. As the train you just missed pulls out you could doubtless picture that the guard who slammed the door in your face, afterwards put his thumb to his nose and gave you the ha! ha! But that is all a conjunction of the imagination. A correspondent to the New York "Times" explains the whole matter. He writes that as one train comes into a station it releases the electric current and merely coasts in on its momentum. Thereupon the train that has been waiting in the station seizes the released current and uses it to start with. He says the subway people in this way save about $18,000 a week. We mention this simply to save you in future from either expressed or unexpressed profanity. BY SECRETARY IRA. The official organ of our church denominations reflect the character of their bishopspreaders and laymen. They are full most of the time of laudatory articles promoting the aspirations of some one or defauntary articles seeking to destroy the aspirations of some one, and of constant appeals for "more money," "a million dollars and a million members" being demanded for the next quadrennial conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church, with seldom a demand for saving persons from the bad and reckless tendencies of the times to the higher and cleaner living of the Christian home and church. Ambition -for high office and greed for more money ring brazenly and loudly in most that they do and say. Take Prof. Ira T. Bryant as a witness. He is secretary of the Sunday School Department, one of the general officers of the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel church; not long ago he accused The Age of being one of the bitterest enemies of his church, because we expose bad men and denounce corrupt practices in the church, when we only seek to make the church better by purging it of its crooked and grafting bishops and preachers; a work Jesus instituted, as reported by Matthew, as follows: "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all of them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold dows;" saying to them, "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." (Matt. xxii, 12-13). In our attitude towards the bishops and preachers, we try to do a good work for the churches, and we think we do. In how far one general officer of the church may go in exposing the crooked and grafting ways of all other we leave it to Pro. Bryant to decide, and all the more freely as he has become a helpful ally. In the Nashville News of February 5. Prof. Bryant has a four and a half column article on the crooked-and grafting ways of Bishop Joshua H. Jones, of the Ninth Episcopal district, in which he lodges the following indictment of his doings in Alabama: 1. "Bishop Jones told the men the panic was no excuse for the falling off of the Dollar Money," and in the first five conferences held in Alabama "every man who was short in his Dollar Money was forced to give his personal note, indorsed by his presiding elder," and in the East Alabama conference to write a check for the shortage, whether they bank account or none. "Lam can't help it; brother, give me a check." he insisted. 2. The departments were paid the cash of the gross receipts, while the worthless paper, checks, etc., fell upon the conference beneficiaries—the widows, orphans, disabled preachers and the like—despite a stringent law in Alabama and the state of such worthless checks, paper, etc. 3. Bishop Jones taxed the presiding elders of his district $30 each, getting a total of $1,200, for a trip to Europe, despite the hard times. "They gave it because they knew that to refuse meant the forfeiture of their offices as presiding officer," Bishop Jones said. 4. "Bishop Jones has collected in this district more than $1,000 for himself during the past year." Prof. Bryant thinks, and that without "visiting ten places in the whole district outside of annual conference calls." "Corner the bishop," says Prof. Bryant, "and the first yell hell make is that; and not getting attention is that; but that is no argument; the stealing of one thief is no justification for that of another." 5. Maintaining, promoting and transferring favorites in the conference, one of them being a "dirty henchman" whom Prof. Bryant names and must therefore not be afraid to meet in the open or a blind eye. 6. Introducing moving picture shows in an conference to make money, "Shades of Allen" exclaine Prof. Bryant. Prof. Bryant sums up his indictment as follows: "I believe Bishop Jones personally; together with the character his life portrays, to be the greatest curse that has ever come to the church. Three times he has been criticized, politician, like him on the bench, and the church would not last ten years." Neither Bishop Joshua Jones nor the board of Bishop of the church can afford to allow Secretary Bryant's charges to go unnoticed. We do not imagine that they will. When one general officer arranges another general officer in such sweeping and ferocious manner as Prof. Bryant has Bishop Jones, the church membership and the interested public reasonably expect that the whole mess will be investigated, either by the Board or the next General Conference. In the meantime The Ace will continue to tell the truth, warts and all, so that the church may be purged and saved, however individual bishops and preachers may be ground to powder between the upper and neither stones of Truth.

Gres ‘Se tne seiy by worklan's short while Pe SEURECSyaahlis te cere oi Stewart Pusterce fostituta Ala NEW ENDURANCE RECORD "A BLACKVILLE CORPORATION," a musical comedy, in three acts, revised and adapted by J. Leubrie Hill from Messrs. Shipp, Rogers and Cook's "Bandanna Land," is amusing Harlem theaterregisters at the Lafayette Theatre this week. The piece is being put on by the Darktown Follies Company, and while the show is not so pronounced a hit as "My Friend From Kentucky," it is very entertaining and possesses many elements of merit. The plot to "A Blackville Corporation" is worthy of more consideration than "My Friend From Kentucky," the situations are fumier and the laughs more frequent, but in the matter of musical numbers—tuneful, jingly songs which were chiefly responsible for making the Darktown Follies a local sensation—"A Blackville Corporation" suffers by comparison. The members of the Darktown Follies are entitled to medals for endurance and should be characterized as the Marathon champions of the stage from now on, as they, performed a physical feat which is deserving of no little complimentary mention. Last week while the company was appearing in, "My Friend From Kentucky," giving two shows a day—afternoon and evening—these hardworked thepians also found it necessary to rehearse "A Blackville Corporation." The only time available was between the closing of the afternoon performance and the opening of the evening performance and after the evening performance. Usually they would start rehearsing about 12 o'clock after the evening show and work until 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning. Then they had to be at the theatre by 2 o'clock for the afternoon performance. Sunday night, worn and wary, J. Leubrie Hill. Alex Rogers, Mme. Fairfax and the rest of the members of the company rehearsed from 12 o'clock until nearly 7 o'clock Monday morning, and then were only able to sleep a few hours, having to look after wardrobe, etc., and be at the Lafayette Theatre at 1.30 for the initial performance. The physical and mental condition of the performers was such that the opening performance Monday afternoon was not up to standard, and together with other adverse conditions usually attending the first performance of a production, such as the setting up of scenery, the performance progressed slowly and it was 6 o'clock before the final curtain was run down in the last act. Then there was another short rehearsal after the first performance, and when the evening show was over forty tired, exhausted performers hied themselves homeward and were soon in the arms of Morpheus, where they remained until after noon Tuesday. However, Tuesday afternoon and evening's performance were gone through with accustomed vim and enthusiasm and the show Tuesday was given in forty minutes less time than on Monday. There are mally doughmakers in "A Blackville Corporation," but the principal one is J. Leubric Hill, who stands out prominently in the character of Sandy Turner just as he did in "Bandanna Land." Mr. Hill is a versatile and talented performer, but of all the roles he has successfully played during his career that of Sandy Turner has given him a broader opportunity to display his methods of provoking merriment. Alex Rogers, who helped to make "Bandanna Land" a success in the character now known as Jasper Jeukins, is also funny. To see these two clever character actors—Messrs. Hill and Rogers—engaged in witty dialogue puts one in a reminiscent and reflective mood, despite the excellency of their histrionic exhibition and the laughter they occasion; for you are reminded of the days of Williams & Walker, when "Bandanna Land" ran for months on Broadway at what was then known as the Majestic Theatre. Mmc. Fairfax favorably impresses as Matilda Jenkins, and she scores in her rendition of "Why Adam Sinned," which has become a little classic. Dink Stewart, as Bryankus Blackville, continues to convince Harlemites that he is a comedian far above the average, and James Burris has made a new record for himself in the theatrical world by accepting the part of Rastus Brown only a short time before Monday afternoon's performance and creditably filling the role without a thorough rehearsal. Anthony Byrd is again doing a male character and assists in the comedy end as Rube Jenkins. Others in the case are Evan Robinson, as Mandy Jenkins, Saraah Byrd Green, as Diana Jenkins, Ethel Williams, as Sister Sparks, Mattie Harris, as Sue Jenkins, Kate Barnett, as Cynthia Jenkins, Emmett Anthony, as Elder Sparks, Charlie Olden, as Country Green, who also appears in several other characters, all of which he does well; Toots Davis, as Brother Jackson, Will Wandleeff, as Brother Morgan, Joe Hateh, as Brother Wilson, Will Cross, as Brother Black, Eddie Rector, as Brother Brown, Harry Stafford, as Brother Green, Hamilton White, as Brother Watson; Fred Coz zins, as Most Lewis, and Al Stewart, as Lawyer Tom Collins. The song hit of the show, a tuneful exhilarating number, is "The Harlem laborarring," sung at the end, of the last act by Evan Robinson and company, uniquely staged by J. Leubrie Hill. If you are depressed in spirits, see the corporation scene in the first act of "A Blackville Corporation." If you don't laugh, then hurry to the office of the nearest doctor. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

MEDAL TO MUSICIAN The January, 1915, number of The Metronome, probably the leading musical publication in the country devoted to the interests of bands and orchestras, gives considerable space to an account of a presentation made to Wade H. Hammond, chief musician of the Ninth Cavalry Band, stationed for the past two years at Douglas, Arizona. A diamond studded, solid gold medal was presented by the citizens of Douglas in appreciation of the services rendered by Director Hammond and his band, while the service was made by the Mayor of the city, C. O. Ellis, who made a speech publicly acknowledging the debt of gratitude for past favors owing to the band from the citizenship. The medal was purchased with a fund raised by popular subscription and is a handsome token. # NATES The Chef Club hold a meeting on Tuesday, February 6, called by the president, and many of the faces that had not graced the club rooms with their presence for months and same even, for years, were present.

NEGRO ATHLETES SMASH RECORDS Saturday evening in the 3rd Regimental Armory, where Brooklyn Evening High School held its games, many wonderful feats were performed by colored boys entered. From the first event of the evening when Herman Foster won the heat of the hundred, great things were promised for our boys. When the last event was run the summaries showed H. Foster, representing Harlem Evening High School, winner of the 100-yard dash with H. Richardson, of the same school, third. In winning this Foster was forced to do 10 1-5 seconds, thereby clipping 3-5 second off the old record. The next colored boy to come through was Andy Pendleton who breezed home handily a winner in the 220-yard (120 lb. class). From the start it was plain that none of the players were in the same class. George Ralston, late of Smart Set, now of St. Christopher, who represented New York Evening High School, had almost similar luck in the 220-yard competition. Though the competition was close, he managed to come home a winner. John Brunson. Harlem's star distance, started his sprint too late in the 600, and as a result had to content himself with second place. We would consider this wonderful for most anyone except John. In the one place he Geo. Crest failed to get better than fourth place though he ran well. The relay the feature event, was awaited expectantly by the large crowd championship Y. of Washington, D.

Last Saturday at the 15th Company of the 13th Regiment, he secured third in the 75-yard dash after arriving with a handicap of seven feet. Howard-Lincoln Game The Howard-Lincoln basketball game to be played at Manhattan Casino Monday, February 22. Washington's Birthday night, promises to be a hard-fought contest. "St C.'s" Defeat Smart Set Twice. Last Friday evening at Park, Circle Casino, the home court of the Smart Set, defeated Christopher "Tiger's" defeated the Smart Set A. C. basketball team 27 to 14 before a crowded house. On Monday night the Smart Set played the "Tiger's" at the St. Philips basketball team and again defeated by the decisive score of 44 to 13 before a small crowd. The scores tell of the playing of the Smart Set. The players were a test for some of the players as their selection as members of the "Machine" to take the trip to Hampton and Philadelphia depended upon the showing made in these contexts. The line-up of Monday's game: St. Christopher, "Tiger's"—F. Lowery, C. Jenkins and M. forwardes, H. Jenkins, center; J. Capens and J. Connor, guard; Smart Set A. C.—L. Jones and M. Chadwick, forwardes, M. Jones and M. forwardes, Burwell and R. Burwell, guard. George E.

Walkers walked off the floor refusing to play the Salem-Crescent, because the latter objected to the Spartan's coach, Tischinky, playing in the game as were in readiness for the beginning of the game when Yunger, manager of Salem, discovered the Jewish star in uniform. He immediately consulted mason Rosses of the Spartans, who had been a member of his club. Yunger explained that all his boys were recognized A. A. U. men and could not play against professionals. At this ultimatum, the crowd disgusted when of Lighthouse announced a victory for Salem by default. Nevertheless they were an enthusiast entertained by Mal. Wendell's hands in drilling, with all of Lighthouse's hands, when at its head. 10 HENRY W. SHELTON "The Cuban Wonder" A GREAT PEDESTRIAN. Leaving the City Hall, New York City, on Thursday, April, Henry W. Shelton of 416 West 38th street, well-known in the world of pedestrianism as the "Cuban Wonder," will take a message from Mayor John Murpitt Mitchell, to the mayor of San Francisco, Ca., with the intention of walking across the continent in considerably less than 73 days, which is the present record for the thanscontinental tramp held by Edward Weston. Shelton hopes to reach his goal sometime between the first and fifth of June, and if successful in breaking the record, will make his return trip an effort to better his own record. As a pedestrian Shelton has a record that wuld indicate his ability to perform the feat he is preparing for. He made his first -effort as a walker at the Grand Central Palace, New York City the event being an 82-hour race and in a field of 110 starters pulled down the eighth prize. At Philadelphia, walking for 142 hours, against 94 competitors, he again finished eighth. In a 142-hour race at Pittsburgh, thirty-eight starters, he finished third. He won first place at St. Louis, walking 100 hours continuously. At Madison in 142 hours, his world’s championship, he finished second, with 88 starters, covering 766 miles and 1 lap, in 142 hours. He won first place in races at Cleveland, Ohio, 142 hours, 63 starters at St. Charles, 11l, 36 mile road race, at Aurora, 11l, 44-mile road race, and a marathon race at the Georgia State Fair, Macon Ga. He has been trained for his races by Happy Jack Smith of 525 Lexington avenue. Brooklyn, who will probably have him in charge on the trip to San Francisco. Shelton was born in 1851 at 105 South Augusta, Ca., and his boyhood friends was known as "Hawkins" Shelton. He was an athlete even then, being one of the best baseball players among the boys of his home town, one of the best runners, and the only boy, white or brown, who ever succeeded in throwing a rock from the Georgia shore to the Carolina shore across the Savannah river. His mother moved from Augusta to Atlanta, and he and two younger brothers were in the town. At present Shelton is working as a public poster in this city and keeps in condition by walking every day from thirty-five to fifty miles in pursuit of his duties. PLAINFIELD, N.

NEW YORK july 16, 1971 The Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 120th street said that the true way to show and impress the mind is the power, and glory of the only transforming, ever present personality. Our Lord the Emmanuel is through these three mediums, observation, experience and the imagination: While all three of these methods will show up in our different sayings; our aim will be to deal with them separately. Though three atheism and marachism are developing among the people, gripping their minds, darken the way, terrifying even the most radiant, yet there are some amused who know that, like Nathalie, there will come plous men even out of the schools of prejudice, and through the narrow doors of race and class legislation, who when they have come in contact with the Immanuel will make a change as radical as he did, the good and beautiful and enduring things for which nations and individuals strive and hope for, is be found only in the people who, uel, who people center their affections. He will supply all their needs. Where there is no need we are in the there is not strife. Philip on the strength of Jesus, the Christ's Lord invitation to visit him, endeavored to bring his friend Nathamel. He was a plaus and devout student of the law and the prophets. In his studies he discovered high, above the economic and moral level, a proud and distinguished personage was come into the world and rule in Righteousness his people Israel ignorant of the ways of God and unable to comprehend true greatness he expected the manifestations of the Messiah to be from some prominent place, herald with pomp and splendor. When Philip his friend tells him that he has found the Christ, in the person of Jesus Nazareth, he of Joseph, that bliss to the town that he attempted to brush aside the thought with one swerving question, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" The ingress and courteous reply that Philip gave to his proud, narrow-minded religious friend is the invitational formed answer, that if followed up as these men did bring about the concession of God's reward for the course of life and the people will behold here and now is there Lord and king. The Immunel's claims cannot be reasoned out, believers in him must carry individuals to him. Anyone who comes by the spirit into his presence, will see, hear and realize enough; to convince them, of the truthfulness of his claims, of the truthfulness of his personality, Mystelism, hypnotism and chivalrypower, may cause or become the reason why even guilleless people honor our Lord and his teachings. He would have us to see the greater things not about him, but in him; he would have us to see that in us God is incarnated. He would have us to earth and lifts earth to Heaven; we see objectively the black night of despair covering the people, but also we see the Heaven open. It was opened by our Lord for us. The Angels of mercy, love, justice, and truth, descend and ascend upon the son of man. He is transforming this world, you come to yourself to see him, and his presence and illuminating personality will change you. The Sunday School had a large attendance.
