Christiansburg Industrial Institute Ends Term Briskly. GRADUATES NUMBER TWELVE Government Demonstration Agents Attend Graduation Exercises and Prominent Educators Deliver Inspiring Addresses to Students—Conference on Plans For Social Betterment. Christiansburg, Va.-The closing exercises of the Christiansburg Industrial institute will be held beginning May 16, when the annual sermon will be preached by the Rev. M. L. H. Barclay of Washington. On Wednesday, the 19th, a conference will be held at the school uniting in a movement for social betterment all sections of southwest Virginia. At this conference the president of the Normal school for white people and representatives from the Polytechnic institute will be present. Representatives of the United States government in the persons of demonstration agents will also be in attendance. The graduating exercises will be held Thursday, May 20, at which time Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, will deliver the annual address to the graduating class. The class to graduate numbers twelve persons, eight girls and four boys, all of Virginia. All the girls have been trained in domestic science, needwork and millinery. Each one will make her own graduation dress and the hat to match it. One of the boys has completed the course in blacksmithing and one in carpentry; one will study for the ministry, and the other one will teach school. All of the graduates will receive certificates entitling them to teach in the public schools of Virginia. The Christiansburg Industrial Institute was founded by Captain Charles S. Schaeffer as a primary school for colored children and was one of the first schools in the south to offer instruction to emancipated slaves. With it many schools in the south were aided by the Friends Freedmen's association just after the close of the war. As the southern states began to assume the burden of the Negro's education the Friends Freedmen's association gradually withdrew its support from the other schools, turning its property over to the counties in which the schools were located and concentrating its efforts on Christiansburg. The success of Hampton, followed by that of Tuskegee, led the management to believe that Christiansburg should direct its energies toward the training of the hands as well as the head. Accordingly the Christiansburg Industrial institute was provided with the necessary equipment to make it an industrial school. The property of the school consists of a farm of 185 acres and eleven buildings, which, with the tools and equipment, are valued at $75,000. The present principal, Professor E. A. Long, has been connected with the institution since 1897. He was treasurer until 1906, when upon the death of the former principal, the late Charles L. Marshall, he was elevated to the principalship. Under Professor Long sixty-five persons have graduated from the institution. A state summer school, which has given instruction to more than 500 Virginia teachers, has been operated. Since he took hold of the school $50,000 has been raised and put into permanent improvements, an endowment of which amount Andrew Carnegie gave $10,000. Besides this there has been an average of $10,000 a year raised for expense of maintenance and operation, making $140,000 which has been raised for this school during Mr. Long's term as principal. The Christiansburg Industrial institute is fortunate in having its managers a strong board composed of prominent business and professional men of Philadelphia and vicitory, one of whom is Dr. Isaac Sharpep, president of Haverford college. This board meets once a month during the school term. As evidence of their appreciation of the services of Professor Long the following resolution was adopted at one of its meetings: "Edgar A. Long, who has been associated with the work at Christiansburg for ten years, has been appointed principal. Under his efficient guidance the work of the school has made gratifying success. We consider it very fortunate that the school should have had one at hand who has its interest so thoroughly at heart." On another occasion the following reference was made in the annual report of the secretary: "Finally, but by no means least in importance, we are fortunate in having a principal who takes a broad view of Negro education. He is a disciple of Booker T. Washington and thoroughly believes and constantly teaches that his people, like all other people, can only rise by doing well the tasks open to them." Brown Passes Law Examination. Lawyer C. W. Brown of Elizabeth City, N. C., recently passed a successful examination to practice his profession. The examination was held by the state supreme court. Mr. Brown is industrious and well versed in legal lore. H. Sleighter, Prop. $1—Ladies' Suits Dry Cleaned.

Achievement of the Association For four years he has been president of the Negro Teachers' Association of Virginia. Under his direction this organization has become a vital force in the educational affairs of the state among colored people. Through the association's activities and its affiliated organizations the colored people have been inspired to put over $100,000 into their public schools since 1914, when President Long was elected head of the association. In speaking about this good showing a prominent educator has the following to say of President Long: "A moving force in this good showing for improvement in Virginia is the association's president, Professor E. A. Long, principal of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, Cambria, Va. Professor Long took the leadership of the association at a time when it needed a strong hand to guide it, and within the past four years he has organized it into a vital, active force for carrying forward the work of educational efficiency and social uplift throughout the state." President Long's Annual Address. In his annual address President Long said in part: It is significant that just fifty years ago another army captured Richmond. Mid the din of battle and the clash of arms they came into your city. With streaming banner and shrieking fire they paraded, which to some was the note of victory, was to us the funeral march of slavery, which died here. was buried at Appomattox and which will rise no more. The army was in the army for the slaves. Today, after the lapse of half a century, a new army which has been fighting that men might have life and have it more abundantly comes up. The army is fighting for the slaves and died for the country's honor and, thus fighting, freed the body of this people, deserve our gratitude and will have their names curated in marble and bronze which must crumble with the lapse of years, but the nation will be able to institution of men's souls, my friends, will have their names written in the hearts of a grateful people as well as inscribed in that hall of fame in the "city with foundations whose builder and maker is God. The state association lays no claim to directing the work of the teachers in their efforts to create better school conditions. It furnishes, however, a means for an exchange of experiences with teachers. The aptitude is engendered and friendly rivalry between teachers which helps mightily in the spread of professional zeal. We do collect what has been done by the teachers under their various roles. The record of the progress made from year to year. The first year, 1912, of which we have any authentic record, the sum of $15.383 was raised through the various schools. The record of the progress made in 1914 $2.023 was raised. This year, when the records are all in lm, we believe it will be over $50,000. Not counting this year, however, more than $23,000 has been put into the public schools by the Negro teachers. The record of which no reports were made to this organization. These splendid results have been made possible largely by the supervising teachers under the direction of our own Mr. Jackson Davis, a most progressive spirit of the new south. It is well to be proud of what has been accomplished, but it is better to remember what is yet to be done. According to the last figures for 1921-13 there were 26,411 children out of school. The summarized reports of the division superintendents schoolhouses is 103,963. The records show, however, that there were 117,017 children enrolled in the schools. This means that there were 13,064 more children enrolled than could be seated in the schools. Let us not forget that there were 26,411 children in the schools, just one-fourth of the Negro children in the Virginia schools cannot be accommodated in her schoolhouses at the present time. Here is a situation, my fellow teachers, that calls for your thoughtful consideration. If we cannot induce the school authorities to build schoolhouses in the Virginia schools, we must put pockets and build them ourselves. Some of the buildings in which Negro children go to school are not fit for cow stables. We are able to build magnificent churc edifices in which to parade our hypocrisy and show off our fine clothes and send our children to a junk house to imbibe in them the culture that fills the Richmond penitentiary with youthful offenders. Effect of Environment on Character. When we learn to properly appreciate the effect which environment has upon the formation of character we are going to take some of the money used in these fine churches and put it into the building of better schools. How about that, for example, if you want to like this kind of talk, but I want to say here that the time has come when you ministers of the Gospel have got to preach less about mansions in the skies and more about better schoolhouses in Virginia. If you don't some of those same mansions are going to have the "For Rent" sign hung on them for lack of tenants. Next in importance to getting a place for the schoolhouse is keeping the schools open long enough to make them really effective. It means this, that if you will raise money to extend the school one month the state will put up enough to extend it one month; if you will extend it a half month; if you will extend it a half hour. With this opportunity before us every Negro school in the state ought to be brought up to an average of at least seven months. And it can be if you teachers Conference with some of the officers of the department of public instruction has convinced me that they are anxious to have our schools get their proportion of this fund. Surely we cannot be so negligent as to allow it to go by without our schools having opportunities, as was the case with the graded school fund. I am told that a part of this fund which was set aside for Negro schools was never used because no demand was made for it. It is time, we must have made it up and claiming our own. We have stood back too long, scared to present our needs because of being afraid of losing our jobs if we ask for what is due us. Let us stand up and plead our cause, not in anger, not in despair, but in hope, in fawning, but respectfully and firmly as men who ask men's rights. Nine Local Business Leagues Formed.

Many Have Been Dismissed or Reduced Been Reentlx In a letter to the Cleveland (O.) Plain Dealer, which appeared in its issue of Tuesday, April 27, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, writes as follows: "In the issue of your paper of Tuesday, April 20, 1915, an Oil City (P.a.) reader of the same made inquiry as to 'What presidential places have been taken from the colored race under the Wilson administration?' Will you please permit me to add the following to the information given your Oil City reader: "Every presidential appointment in the United States diplomatic service abroad, except the ministership to Liberia, Africa; every presidential appointment in the federal service, at home and abroad, except the minor and local one, a judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, held by Negroes, and scores of minor positions in the federal service, even many covered by civil service, held by representatives of this same class of Americans, have been taken from them under the Wilson administration. "In many other cases minor positions, covered by civil service, they have been reduced. This course was successfully pursued in the cases of many others to force their resignations. In all hundreds of Afro-American officeholders have lost positions in the federal service in the last two years under President Wilson's administration. Only the two presidential places named are retained, and they are the only two Afro-American presidential appointments made by the present national administration." ```markdown ``` URBAN LEAGUE DIRECTOR ON BUSINESS TRIP SOUTH Closer Union is Purpose of E. K. Jones' Visit to Branch Leagues. New York.—Eugene Kinckle Jones, the associate director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, left this city Friday, April 30, to make an official visit to the various organizations affiliated with the National Urban league in Richmond, Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta, Louisville and St. Louis. Mr. Jones' trip is in furtherance of one of the plans of the national scope of the league. Uplift work is needed in all large cities of the south, and the accomplishments of the league in New York city will serve as an added stimulus to increased activities and effi- cency. The main purpose, however, of the present trip of the associate director is to foster co-operation between the branch leagues and the various public and private organizations working in their respective communities. The city departments where leagues are organized will be asked to unite with the branch organizations in all phases of social uplift work. The associate director plans to urge whenever possible the employment of a full time worker to supervise the activities of the affiliated organizations. At present several cities have the services of a trained supervisor, and one organization has decided to engage a director of work in the fall. Reports from most of the affiliated organizations have been encouraging. Upon the return of Mr. Jones the National League on Urban Conditions will issue a bulletin of the achievements of the movements in cities other than New York. After leaving St. Louis on the present trip the associate director will go to Baltimore to be present at the national conference of charities and correction, where he will take part in the discussion on the methods to be used in preparing colored men and women for social work among their people. AFRICA IN SACRED HISTORY. Fact Bearing on Country In Connection With Childhood of Christ. Perhaps few people know that the gold, frankincense and myrrh which the Magi presented to Jesus when they came to worship him as he lay in the manger at Bethlehem were all the products of Africa, the gold probably coming from the Gold Coast, as it is now called, and the frankincense and myrrh from Somaliland, where they are found in great abundance. Africa, it has been shown, was very much in evidence in the life of Jesus. Balthasar, a proud black, gave the young child, Jesus, asylum when Herod sought his life and thus became host to the Son of God, and Simon, the Cyrenian, another black, helped him to bear the cross up Golgotha's rugged heights. Africa has nothing to be ashamed of in the past and nothing to fear for the future. "Resurgam" is written on her banner, and she will rise again with healing in her wings. God doesn't forget. Odd Fellows Celebrate Anniversary. The members of Industry lodge No. 1533, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Pittsburgh, will celebrate the forty-second anniversary of the lodge at the John Wesley Zion church on Tuesday evening, May 11. A banquet will be held at the conclusion of the literary program. AT THE "BLOODY ANGLE." Recalled by Civil War Survivors as a Very Hot Place. One of the most desperate fights of the civil war was that which took place at the "Bloody Angle" on May 12, 1864. It is still remembered by the survivors as probably the bottest place they ever were in. General L. A. Grant, commander of the Vermont brigade, described the fight at the "dead line" as follows: "It was not only a desperate struggle, but it was literally a hand to hand fight. Nothing but the plied up logs or breastworks separated the combatants. Our men would reach over the logs and fire into the faces of the enemy, who would stab over with their bayonets. Many were shot and stabbed through the crevelles and holes between the logs. Men mounted the works and with muskets rapidly handed them kept up a continuous fire until they were shot down, when others would take their places and continue the deadly work. "Several times during the day the Confederates would show a white flag about the works and when our fire slackened jump over and surrender, and others were crowded down to fill their places. It was there that the somewhat celebrated tree was cut off by bullets—there that the brush and logs were cut to pieces and whipped into basket stuff." General McGowan, who was on the other side of the trenches leading the South Carolina brigade, stated in his report: "Our men lay on one side of the breastwork, the enemy on the other, and in many instances men were pulled over. The trenches on the right had to be cleared of the dead more than once. An oak tree twenty-two inches in diameter in rear of the brigade was cut down by musket balls, and it fell about 12 o'clock Thursday night, the 12th, injuring several men in the First South Carolina regiment." IN THE WAR AND AFTER. Battle Incident Which Led Later to Restoration of a Sword. General Kelfer, later in congress from the Springfield (O.) district, was one of the last men wounded in the civil war. He entered the volunteer army in April, 1861, and served until after Lee's surrender in 1865. In all that time he received three scratches, but shortly after the surrender he was scouting at the head of a small force of cavalry and came suddenly upon a large force of Confederate cavalry. There was a skirmish, in which Kelfer was wounded and in which he would have been killed had it not been for the intervention of the Confederate commander, who, under the circumstances, simply wanted to be let alone. Keifer returned to camp, had his wound dressed, reported to headquarters and received special orders and with re-enforcements started to find the derelict Confederates. He found them, and Colonel Tucker, the Confederate commander, surrendered. Keifer carried Tucker's sword home with him, and it was kept in his library at Springfield as a trophy of the war. In 1870 Keifer was elected to congress and in 1881 was elected speaker. Among his acquaintances in 1879 was John Randolph Tucker of Virginia. In conversation one day Keifer told Tucker the story of the sword, and Tucker said the officer who surrendered the day of the skimish was undoubtedly his brother. This fact being established, Keifer took the sword to Washington and placed it in the hands of J. Randolph Tucker, who restored it to its original owner. In after years General Keifer became again a member of congress and found the son of J. Randolph Tucker in the father's seat. At Arlington.

This digestible mass places an unnecessary burden upon the stomach, and in due time there follow headaches, drowsiness and a few forms of stomach troubles, which by weakening the body make it a suitable camping ground for all sorts of disease germs. The proper way to prepare meat is either to boil, broil or roast it. The broiling or roasting process when properly done preserves the nutrition with minimum loss, while in boiling it the nutrition is drawn out and, as we say, "flavors" the gravy or soup. We eat too much meat anyway. Meat twice a day is enough for the hardest laborer, while once a day is sufficient for the ordinary worker. Milk, eggs (not fried), apples (baked and steamed), potatoes, baked beans and such things are highly recommend by the food specialists as being far more valuable and digestible than the frequent use of meat. Since food is the fu which supplies power for the engines of the body, it is well at this time that we face this question frankly and learn something of food values and uses. For your own sake ask your physician about fried meat, and for the sake of others bring this question up in some of the discussions which you will attend during the national Negro health week, which is to be observed from March 21 to 27.

Shortridge delivered the Memorial Day address at the Civic Auditorium on Monday, May 31st. Mr. Shortridge has always proved a friend to the Negro race and to all humanity. The following is an excerpt from his address: "Slavery is dead, dead by the sword of the immortal Grant, dead by the hand of sainted Lincoln, dead by the justice of the eternal God." think a permanent organization is not needed to fight "The Clansman." Quite a majority of the leading citizens are of the opinion that the Society for the Advancement of the Colored People would have been the proper one to have carried on the fight against "The Clansman." They claim that everything possible would have been done and that there was no need of calling any new organization into being just to combat a particular evil, when their society is here and is being maintained by the citizens of Northern California just for that specific purpose. The Sunshine is of the opinion that all have a perfect right to work and that there is plenty of work for all. But we are anxions to see a united pull together. We are not in favor of these different movements each by themselves but all should work together through one central body recognized as the head. The independent movements are doomed to failure and fall short. There was no reason why all the work against "The Clansman" could not have been done by the Civic Center or by the Society for the Advancement of Colored People. However we take no stock in the assertion that certain factions are out for the "loaves and fishes" only. We believe all are out for the good of the race, and that they have made mistakes in the conduct of this fight is no reason why they should be branded as out for the dollar. We are very sorry to hear that Mr. L. A. Brown is to be forced out of the chairmanship of the new movement and we sincerely hope the Society for the Advancement of Colored People will soon enroll them all as good workers for the cause. Chief of Police Sebastian, reputed friend of the Negroes of Los Angeles, who appointed the first colored police woman in the south, has been elected Mayor of the city in spite of recent criminal prosecution. The Society for the Advancement of Colored People sounded both Mr. Whitman and Mr. Sebastian on their attitude toward the Negroes. Mr. Whitman, or his representative man, was evasive in his answers, but Mr. Sebastian answers were plain and in full and right on all the questions submitted, and the colored people put their man through. The will of the late Homer Bishop has been filed. Contrary to expectations, the Moores, almost life-long friends, do not share in the estate, the bulk of the estate going to Mr. Cashen, an old acquaintance. In the meantime Mrs. Wysinger, who had expected to be a beneficiary to a large extent was left out, and this, with other irregularities she claims compels her to say that a new will has been brought forward by the administrator as the one shown her is not, to her belief, the signature of the late Homer Bishop. But as the entire estate is so very small, there will hardly be a contest, Mrs. Wysinger having contented herself with administering a tongue-lashing to Mr. Cashen. We are informed that Mrs. Slaughter has at last been paid the money by the Goldberg, Bowen Co. for the death of her son some three years ago, who was run over by one of that firm's wagons driven by a young driver who acknowledged that he was on the wrong side of the street, which threw the lad under the wheels of one of the Ransome Creamery wagons, which really did the killing. Mrs. Slaughter sued for $10,000 and won. After an appeal and confirmation of the judgment of the lower court, Mrs. Slaughter a few weeks ago received her portion in cash, the lawyer receiving almost half the amount. Let us send a letter of thanks to these great papers which assist us. If not why not? It is not too now too late to do our duty and let us do so at once. Let us learn to be grateful, if not to our journals, at least towards those of the other races that help us along. Yes, let us be grateful. It is to be hoped that the colored people of Alameda County will make a creditable showing at the Panama-Pacific Exposition on Alameda County Day, June 10th, as they are to take some part on that day.

ONE of the oldest burying grounds of Edinburgh, the Old Calton, which lies on a spur of the Calton crags, there stands close to the mausoleum that marks the grave of David Hume, philosopher and historian, a striking memorial, which through the exertions of Wallace Bruce, formerly American consul in Edinburgh, was erected in 1883 to the memory of Scottsmen who fell in the American civil war. The memorial is visited by most of the American tourists who go to Edinburgh. It consists of a statue of Abraham Lincoln and, below it, kneeling with uplifted hands, a life size figure of one of the negro race whose freedom from slavery Lincoln secured. The memorial on a recent Memorial day was draped with the flags of the United States and Scotland, and over the folds of the stars and stripes and St. Andrew's cross were held a number of beautiful wreaths, while loose flowers were strewn around the granite base upon which the figures rest. A magnificent wreath of arum illies, illies of the valley and evergreens was placed on the monument by the United States consul at Edinburgh, and another tribute was sent by the United States consul at Dunfermline. Miss Margaret Taylor, a woman over eighty years of age, visited the ground and placed on the memorial a small ```markdown ``` sheaf of flowers in memory of her brother, John Taylor, who, on March 7, 1863, fell in a skirmish at Rappahannock. When he left Scotland Taylor received a presentation watch from his employer. The watch was found on him after his death and was sent home to his people in Scotland, with a letter which he had written to his sister the day before he fell. "THE FIGHTING M'COOKS." No Other Family Has a Civil War Record Like Theirs. I was halted the other day before a remarkable painting that hung in the splendid rotunda of the old capitol building, called the statehouse, in Columbus, O., says Desher Walsh in the National Monthly. It represented a group of ten men, every one of them strong in feature. The central figure was that of a 'man of commanding presence, past middle life, clothed in the old fashioned uniform of a United States army officer, seated on a camp chair, backed by a tended canopy. Around him in graceful positions, apparently considering certain plans of battle, were the other nine. The scene itself was a shady nook amid rolling ground, and in the distance were a farmhouse and evidence of pastoral life such as daily confronted the soldier who participated in the American civil war. This picture was labeled "The Fighting McCooks." The leader was Major Daniel McCook, and the others were his nine sons, every one of whom served in the army or navy of the United States. The father and three sons were killed in the struggle, four sons subsequently died in service, and another survived to become a well known lawyer of New York. These were of the "the tribe of Dan." Another branch was called the "the tribe John." in which there were five, making a total of fifteen, ev- EMERYVILLE Admission 50c Children 25 Addition to Visitors from the interior and throughout eastern people are expected to be in attendance.

Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made.

But the ship may the manager, were so determination to the size of the dolls they wanted that they all挤挤“We will wait to get the big dolls.” While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches.

The Civic Center held a most interesting meeting last Monday night at North Oakland Baptist Church. Miss C. A. Whitney, Past President of the California Civic League, was the speaker of the evening. Miss Whitney spoke on the "Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage," which has for its object that of securing an amendment to the United States Constitution, enfranchising women. In the business session of the meeting plans for participation of the Center on Alameda County Day were discussed and announcement was made of an invitation to the Center to appoint ten women to serve on the Reception Committee for the dansant to be given at the California Building at the Exposition on June 10th, Alameda County Day. The following women were appointed: Mrs. W. S. Henry, Mrs. C. L. Tilghman, Mrs. M. G. Stafford, Miss M. Simmons, Mrs. Anna Hughes, Mrs. Lillian Harris, Mrs. Tobe Williams, Mrs. Augustine Craigg, Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, Mrs. A. H. Wall. Miss Simmons tendered her final resignation as president of the Center at this meeting, explaining that her studies and other matters were demanding her time, which make it impossible for her to continue her activities in strenuous organization work. Mrs. W. S. Henry was nominated as Miss Simmons' successor and was elected to fill the office made vacant. Much appreciation was expressed for the faithful services rendered by Miss Simmons while in office and a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered her on behalf of the Center. Owing to the summer vacation period the Center voted to take its regular adjournment for the season and will convene again at the call of the chair. ALAMEDA COUNTY DAY COMMITTEE. A meeting was held under the auspices of the Alameda County Day Committee last Wednesday evening at Cooper Zion Church. The chairman or the committee, Miss M. Simons, presided. Reports were made by various members of the committee as to what they had done by way of interesting others in the movement. Mr. James A. Hackett, chairman of the General Committee, is ardently working for the success of this affair. Mr. Hackett is one of Alameda county's most esteemed citizens and he says he considers it the duty of every colored resident to rally at this time, if only to assist by contributing something toward the children's participation. The committee hopes to raise enough money through general subscription to pay for the children's car which was definitely decided on at the meeting. The car will hold about seventy-five children and if enough more children can be obtained by Monday there will be two cars or floats of children. Mrs. Augustine Craigg and other members of the committee are doing excellent work towards securing the children. The committee has agreed to work to the end that no individual parent will necessarily be compelled to contribute for the expense of the car or its decoration, as the parents will all have other expenses in connection with the children. The Fannie J. Coppin Club and the Household of Ruth, No. 458, have already responded with small donations and several individual citizens have done likewise, all of whom will be given credit in due time. Anyone wishing to swell the children's report by next Tuesday may report to the treasurer of the committee, Mrs. Tobe Williams, 3318 Chestnut street. The Civic Center was the only organization that reported it would participate on Alameda County Day at the Exposition. The Center will have a representative decorated car that will accommodate about fifty women. Anyone who desires information about riding in the car on this occasion may communicate with the chairman of the Center's Exposition Committee, Miss M. Simmons. We wish to rectify the oversights in last week's Sunshine of the Davis-Wiggan wedding. They are as follows: Mr. F. Beckford, Japanese tea set; Mr. E. Harris, flower vase; Mr. and Miss Saunders, Japanese lunch set; Mr. and Mrs. Bell, picture (Harvester); Mrs. Fowler and daughters, cold meat fork; bride's mother, hand-made comforter. The Board of Directors of the Northern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will meet at Mrs. H. Tilghman's, 1670 13th street, Monday afternoon, June 7th, at 2:30 p. m. Business of importance. Mrs. Rhodes, the chairman, and members of the Household of Ruth No. 253 wish to thank the general public for the liberal promotion of their picnic held at Shellmound Park Friday, May 28th. After all indebtedness had been cleared they have nearly $100 cash on hand. The contract for the janitorship of the City Hall was made Thursday. A gentleman Swede's bid was $35 less than Mr. Albert Lawrence, a colored man, who held that office, which means the exclusion of all colored men. Rev. Matthews, the efficient minister of Zion A. M. E. Church, San Francisco, is to soon be transferred to one of the Eastern districts, Illinois or New England. Bishop Caldwell takes pleasure in transferring Rev. Matthews in honor of the great work he has done in erecting the beautiful edifice in San Franisco.

The department for the suppression of lynching connected with the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs held a large protest mass meeting in the Bethel A. M. E. church, New York, on Wednesday evening, April 28. Miss Adena C. E. Minott is head of the department. She gave a very instructive address, in which she set forth the work of the department and urged the audience as individuals to aid whenever possible every agency which stands for right against wrong. The Rev. B. W. Arnett, pastor of the church, offered prayer, and Dr. A. A. Crooke presided. Among the speakers were Attley James L. Curtis, Miss Florence Kelley, secretary of the National Consumers' league; Rev. W. S. Holder and John E. Robinson, city editor of the Amsterdam News. Miss Minnie Brown, the well known soprano soloist, delighted the audience with selections from S. Coleridge Taylor and H. T. Burleigh's compositions and also led the audience in singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs was organized in Boston eighteen years ago.

One of the most pressing needs of the colored people of Greater New York is a home in which patients recovering from medical treatment can convalesce, says Eugene Knickle Jones, associate director of the National League_on Urban Conditions Among Colored People. They are invariably denied admission to existing homes for convalescent. The National league has been reasonably assured that if it can secure a suitable house in the country where twenty or twenty-five persons can be accommodated funds for the equipment and maintenance of the home will be donated by a wealthy New York corporation. Brooklyn May Have Weekly Paper. Under the leadership of Dr. Gladstone M. Hinkson a number of professional young men in Brooklyn are planning to start an eight page weekly, to be known as the Brooklyn Advocate. The first issue is scheduled to appear early in May. The National Negro Press association will gladly welcome the new paper to its membership. _ this way he was able to finish his course. Thus his life and work should be an inspiration to other young men of the race who are sitting around complaining about nothing to do or the treatment at the hands of other races. It was in 1901 that this young man graduated from Meharry dental department, sharing a part of the class honors. He was ready to start in life, but did not have money enough to buy the necessary of life, to say nothing about furnishing an office. He had made a good impression on the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, and when his condition was made known to this great man he at once furnished an office in his own building, fitted it up and then turned his attention to giving encouragement to Dr. Voorhees as well as other young men. Giving four hours each day to teaching in the dental department of Meharry and having a large city practice will account for the first two years of Dr. Voorhees' work in Nashville, and after four years of good work he went to Chicago, where he took a post graduate course in the Northwestern university dental department and was perhaps the first member of the race to receive a certificate from the post graduate course of that institution. With this diploma he returned to Nashville better prepared to prosecute his work. Practicing in the city and teaching in Meharry is the record of this young man for a number of years. Now he has charge of the dental department of the school, being the demonstrator and instructor. Wonderful improvements have been made from time to time until it ranks second to none in the country. This has forced Dr. Voorhees to give up his actual prac a burden to me for years—in fact, ever since that which I first told you of. For your mother, when I dared think of her (could think of her, I should say), I never 'maw anything but love. I was not so grief stricken when I heard of her death as I thought I should have been. I have loved her better and been more at peace since then. Your father never let me know of her death; I heard of it from a casual friend. So instead of a possible reconciliation between your father and me, a thing which I would have almost welcomed then over her grave, I think I hated him more. They say love can only turn to hatred, never to friendship, and so that chance passed. It is midnight now. Well, the next thing I must tell you is that the man in my regiment whom I killed was—as they said at the court martial—an enemy of mine. His name was Williams, and he was until recently employed in our firm in a comparatively subordinate position. Ee was a troublesome, self opinionated man, of no great value to the business, and not long ago he was gotten rid of, largely at my instigation and thoroughly as he deserved. However, he belonged to the militia, and when the war broke out he was given a commission in this regiment. I volunteered for service, and I, too, was put into this regiment as private, and thus it came about that he so soon found himself in a position to take his revenge upon me, and well did he do it, the blackguard. That's immaterial now, but it is necessary that you should understand that the whole regiment knew these facts, and knew, too, that although I had supported his bullying for a long time without a murmur it was not unlikely that I should try to get even with him if I had an opportunity. Our regiment was almost in the center of the first line the day before yesterday at the storming of the big redoubt, and we had had the brunt of the fighting all day. The enemy had thrown up some very strong earthworks in front of the main defenses, and our artillery, led by the infantry, had had a lot of work to do in demolishing them and driving the enemy from them. We had stormed the earthworks twice already and had lost at least a third of our officers and men. I had two minor wounds only. The captain of my company, Franklin, was killed in the second assault, and Williams took his place in command. Then the big assault was ordered on a weak point in their main defenses where our heavy artillery had made a breach, and we were burred at it, regiment upon regiment. There was a surge and a roar of fighting. One was conscious of nothing but explosions and shouts and screams, blood everywhere and men struggling and men fallen. At last I was on the slope at the foot of the breech, stumbling over bodies and fighting my way blindly, half choked by smoke and dust. And then suddenly I saw your father. I cannot explain what happened within me at that moment. I was half mad and dazed from a wound in the head and perhaps half a child again. I cannot explain, but I saw him as though he were the only man before me. Despite all the years since I had last seen him and the state he was in, with blood and grime on his face and in his grizzled hair, I saw him as though we were at home together in the old days. It was as though a vision flashed on me and made me unconscious of the ghastly holocaust around us. Perhaps your mother was near. But it was only to be an instant. He saw me also, and whether the same feelings were in him I do not know, but he stood as if turned to stone with his gaze full on me. The next instant some one in front of me and to my right, I could not see who it was, dashed forward and buried a sword half its length in his chest. I can see George's face now. His jaw dropped, but his eyes remained fixed on he fell. Then I went quite mad, I think. I felt choked, and things swam before me. I killed that man. I do not actually remember how, but men behind me saw it. He was Williams, of course, the man who killed your father and for whom I am to be shot in an hour or two. I am tired and will stop. I have said everything, I think. But I am not sorry. I believe absolutely in the hereafter, and I think that I shall find Helen and George in a very little time now. Goodby, my boy, and God bless you! -Sphere. Memorial Day Like All Souls' Day. Memorial day is in truth nothing more than a secular All Souls' day. It owes its origin, according to some accounts, to the women of the south, who began the practice of decorating their graves less than two years after the close of the civil war. That struggle of four years had kept our country in a constant state of commotion and excitement. Every part of the nation had contributed its men, young and old, to the conflict. When peace was restored there was scarcely a village or town that did not have a grave to remind it of the fearful cost. A New York newspaper first published a paragraph stating that a few women of Columbus, Miss., had strenu the graves of the dead soldiers, Union as well as Confederate. This touching tribute caused a thrill of tenderness to pass through the north, and it aroused, as probably nothing else could have done a feeling of national amity and love. $85.00 PER MONTH, MADE DURING YOUR SPARE TIME.

NATIONAL NEGRO DOLL COMPANY. 819 23rd Avenue, N Nassau, Terri Mr. pringer, who is now located in the Bacon Block, Oakland, in the real estate business, is a man that comes well recommended and one that is not only a credit to his race but to the whole human race as well. His congenial ways and business qualities will no doubt have a tendency to make the business in which he is engaged a success. He was born in New York and came to the interest of a concession Exposition, but on account of differences that existed he changed his plans and entered the real estate business. Mr. Springer has also succeeded in getting the agency for the northern part of the state of the Travelers Insurance Co. of Hartford, Conn. He has absolute full charge of the railroad insurance of this company. Here is an honor conferred upon one of our race that has never been bestowed before on anyone. We have found him just as he is recommended, congenial and always ready when you enter his office, 77 Bacon Block, to assist those that need assistance. He is reliable and honest in his business transactions, which is everything to a man's business. Occidental Lodge Committee has taken June 17th for their picnic at Shellmound Park.

To Our Thousands of Friends—Greet- ings: Again as August draws near the West Indian Association calls the attention of the many families of Alameda county and San Francisco to their annual family picnic to be held at Shellmound Park, on Monday, August 2nd. This association stands on its record among our people. Being strictly a charitable organization we have no hesitation whatever in thinking the public for their abundant patronage in the past, and knowing well that our picnic and carnival on this year will eclipse all our outings, are satisfied from the inquiries already received that our future support will be unprecedented. Full particulars of this year's carnival will be extensively published in our weekly papers in a few weeks from now. NEWS! NEWS! EXTRAOR-DINARY. The West Indian Aid Association, being ever mindful that the public is its friend, have at great cost and care secured the original god of the great Hottentot tribe of South Africa, as one of the special features at their free picnic. This immense idol was supposed to have been made about the fourth or fifth century of the Christian era. No single feature of any picnic, in any state has ever approached it in importance. As a work of art it is without doubt the greatest production of the old and ancient Ethiopians who lived in the days of the proud queen of Sheba. We hope that an immense con- course of our people will visit the picnic park at Shellmound on August 2, to view this great and marvelous relic of ancient negro antiquity.

Jable episode of the civil. war: After the charge in the fight at the ‘Weldon road, in which his regiment participated, Aug. 19, 1864, Company F had but two men left, named Me- Manus and Kull.

McManus had gone be jyond the line and was behind a tree ‘when a flash of lightning revealed his whereabouts to Kul, who, mistaking him for a Confederate, tred and shot MeManus in the head. Kull’s mistake was discovered, -and his comrade’s body was carried to the rear, covered with a blanket and placed on th ground, a supposed dead Union soldier Next ‘morning, while a party of the regiment were seated around the camp fire discussing hardtack and coffee i close proximity to MeManus' body, the blanket was seen to ‘move, and direct ly, to the great consternation of th party, MeManus rose up, walked t the fire and asked for a eup of coffee After his comrades had recovered them selves they returned to the fire and ac ‘commodated the resurrected McManus He was badly ‘wounded, however, ant was sent to a hospital. ‘The operation of trepanning was performed, and the woldler reco¥ered..
