GROUP OF EDUCATORS HONORED BY STATE. West Virginia School Heads Given Life Certificates. Under the caption "Educators Given Life Certificates" the Charleston (W. Va.) Post in a recent issue says: Announcement has been made by the state department of schools that at the meeting of the state board of education recently held at Morgantown four life certificates were awarded prominent West Virginia educators because of brilliant service in promoting the development of educational institutions. The life certificates were awarded to H. C. Robertson of Charleston, principal of the Tiskelwhal graded school; Mrs. Mabel Henshaw Gardiner of the Shepherdstown normal, Orto McConkey, principal of the Clarksburg high school, and to Byrd Prillerman, president of the colored institute. Mr. Prillerman is rated as the foremost colored educator of the state. In attendance at the meeting of the board were Superintendent M. P. Shawkey of Charleston, J. D. Garrison of Middlebourne, J. N. Deahl of Morgantown, C. R. Murray of Bluefield and F. L. Burdette of Clarksburg. The institution of which Professor Byrd Prillerman is president is the West Virginia College institute at Institute, W. Va., the name and grade of which were changed from the West Virginia Colored institute to the above name with college rank upon the recommendation of Governor Hattfield to the state legislature Feb. 17, 1915. Congratulations to Professor Prillerman, and may he live long to train and educate the youth of our race. CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB. Harrison to issue Paper Daily During Press Meeting in Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass.—From present indications the coming meeting of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association to be held at the Union Baptist church, in this city, Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 18 and 19, will be largely attended. Committee from the majority of the states represented in the association have expressed their intention of being present, and the local committee has made ample preparation to entertain them. Special interest is being manifested by members of both the committee and the association since Editor J. Thomas J. THOMAS HARRISON. Harrison announced his intention of issuing his paper, the Advocate, daily during the session of the committee and the National Negro Business league from Wednesday to Saturday. Each member of the press association is invited to take some definite part in issuing the daily Advocate. Editor Harrison also desires the photos or cuts of members of the association and requests such be sent to the office of the Advocate on Main street, Cambridge, not later than Monday, Aug. 16. On Thursday evening, Aug. 19, members of the press association will be the guests of the Cambridge Business league at the State armory on Massachusetts avenue. There will be many notable speakers for the social function to be held at the armory. The mayor of Cambridge has agreed to be present and deliver an address of welcome, and there will be addresses by the editors of some of the leading daily papers. Among other speakers will be the Hon. William H. Lewis, former United States attorney general, and Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Business league. Melvin J. Chisum, president of the association and Corresponding Secretary Henry Allen Boyd, of Oklahoma and Tennessee, respectively, will attend the meeting in Cambridge, and the advertising committee will make its full report on the standardization of advertising. The outlook for a profitable meeting is very bright. Joseph L. Jones, chairman of the executive committee, expresses himself as being much pleased with the progress of the association during the past year. He urges all the members to rally to the call of Editor Harrison in his laudable effort to issue his paper daily in honor of the executive committee and members of the press association. S. & H. GREEN TRADING In addition to our lowest prices on Dinner Sets, Dishes, Glassware, Ovens, Gas Plates and Household Goods, we are now giving S. & H. Chicago Celebration to Have Many Special Features. EVENT OF NATIONAL SCOPE. Picture of Fort Constructed by John Brown and a Box Used For the Transportation of Slaves to Be Put on Exhibition—Schedule of Leading Organization Days. BY N. BARNETT DOSSON. Chicago.—Now that the Richmond (Va.) exposition has closed all eyes are centered on the one to be held in this city from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, inclusive. The fact that during the time, from the beginning of the celebration to its close, fifty-four organizations, nearly all national in the scope of their work, will render special programs adds new and varied interest to the occasion. The last day of the coming exposition will be known officially as Illinois day. The Roman Catholic section of the exposition looks very favorable, says the Lincoln Sentinel, the official organ of the commission. Our exhibits from the convents, churches and schools are coming in from all quarters. We are receiving very flattering letters from reliable sources, wishing the management godspeed. One Catholic bishop writes us about the Negro—that it is his hearty wish as well as his well grounded hope that the tremendous strides made in these years may be continued and even surpassed in the second half of the century, and to this end the approaching exposition will be no small contributor. Friday, Sept. 10, will be Tuskegee (Ala.) institute day, and in the section headed "The Dawn of Truth" will be shown the progress of the race from Appomattox Court House, Va., to Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Part 1 of this section depicts King Cotton in his glory, and part 2 will show the Genius of Liberty at home and abroad. This section will be studded at its four corners with life size pictures of U. S. Grant, Booker T. Washington, Fred Douglass and Stephen A. Douglas. Another feature of this half century of freedom celebration will be that presented by John Brown's daughter, who will exhibit a lock of her father's hair and a model of a fort constructed by John Brown. A box used in the transportation of slaves on the underground railroad will also be shown to the public, perhaps for the first time. Aside from the hundreds of other attractions, everybody will want to see the daughter of the man who struck the blow for human liberty at Harpers Ferry, in 1859, which quickly brought on the civil war and which, after four years, terminated in the freedom of the slaves and the final surrender of Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Va., April 9, 1865. Among the organizations listed under the head of special feature days at the exposition from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16 are the National Medical association, convention of the Order of Elks, Grand Army of the Republic, congress of anti-slavery workers, Ancient Order of Foresters, Knights of Tabor, international interracial congress, Ancient United Knights of Daughters of Africa, Grand United Order of True Reformers, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Spanish-American war veterans, Eighth Illinois regiment national guard, farmers' congress, Negro Authors' society, Sunday school congress and the national congress of fraternal workers. Thomas Wallace Swann, secretary of the commission, has been in communication with persons of influence and leadership in racial uplift work in all sections of the country. He has secured from these persons an abundance of information as to the progress of the race in their sections during the past year. Through this correspondence the commission will be in position to present many more exhibits from individuals than it could have obtained otherwise. Purpose of the Donovan Fund Faille. It is reported that legal steps have been taken to wind up the Caroline Donovan trust fund at Baltimore, created about twenty-nine years ago for the purpose of encouraging colored Americans to emigrate to Liberia. The fund was operated by the American Colonization society. That the scheme is not popular with the race in America is shown by the fact that only about 16,000 have emigrated to Africa during the existence of the American colonization society. The petition states that transportation to Africa has ceased. The fund in question at the present time amounts to $00,000. Interest Shown In Summer Normal. The interest which the rural school-teachers are taking in the summer normal which opened at Prentiss, Miss, on Monday, Aug. 2, indicates in a large measure a desire on their part to better prepare themselves for their work. The session will last until Aug. 31. At the close of the normal State Superintendent W. H. Smith will hold an examination. The sessions are being held daily at the Prentiss Normal and Industrial institute. Prentiss, Miss. Trading Stamps with every purchase 615 Washington St., bet. 8th and 9th Oakland, Cal.

We believe in an Almighty God and we are unalterably opposed to the sovereign will and power vested in one human being, man or woman. We believe in inspired and divine race leadership and we are uncompromisingly opposed to specially hired or charitably bribed leadership for this reason: any man who can be specially hired and privately paid to lead the people can be bribed to mislead the people. We believe that colored men in all parts of the republic should vote and be allied with any political party they desire, and we strongly advocate taking an active part in politics and voting at all elections. We believe in a broad franchise for women and men, and we advocate the same qualification for both, because it is just, right and fair and will work for the success of human progress and good government.

What the Rev. J. C. Jackson, D. D., Has Accomplished During His Interesting Career In the Ministry—Man of Broad Learning and Splendid Qualities of Leadership. Philadelphia. — There is a very exceptional and peculiar degree of interest now being manifested by the Baptist denomination among our people throughout Pennsylvania for the effective reaching of the unreached of the race and bringing them under the influence of the church. To get the results that are so strongly manifested by the Baptists in this section, it naturally requires men of the higher type and training who are truly devoted to the ministry. The south and its many institutions of learning are contributing a large quota of the ministers who are really REV. J. C. JACKSON, D. D. transforming lives for good. Benedict college, located at Columbia, S. C., an institution which is doing a splendid work, has a graduate among the leaders of the Baptists in this section who is a concrete example of what a minister should be among all classes of people. This individual is the Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson, who has proved by his ability that he is highly endowed for leadership. Dr. Jackson is a native of the Palmetto State, where he began his influential career. Since his graduation from Benedict college he has specialized at several well known theological institutions, which have rounded him into one of the ablest of his denomination in this section. He has gained the distinction of being a church builder and sagacious organizer. He built St. Paul's Baptist church, Winnsboro, S. C.; did a most excellent work as pastor of St. Paul's Baptist church, Anderson, S. C., from which place he accepted a call to Court Street Baptist church, Lynchburg, Va. He was also highly successful in his work of seven years in this field, where he added about 600 new members and cleared the church of debt. In 1008 he accepted a call to the Salem Baptist church, Jenkintown, Pa., where he did some of his best constructive work and erected one of the most beautiful church edifices to be found among our people in Pennsylvania. A strong evidence of his wise leadership is seen in the social work he is doing in bringing about a closer relation between the better element of both races. During his pastorate in Jenkintown he organized the interdenominational Ministerial alliance of Philadelphia and vicinity and has been its president since its organization, nearly four years ago. For three sessions of the Baptist ministers' conference of Philadelphia he presided as its executive. He is vice president for Pennsylvania of the national Baptist convention. Among the white Baptists of this section he is highly esteemed, and during his stay in the state he has never before enjoyed a higher degree of friendship with the white Baptists. He is a member of the missionary committee of the North Philadelphia Baptist association. On Dec. 1, 1914, he acceded to the persistent call of the members of the Second Baptist church, North Philadelphia, and has rallied them exceptionally well. The congregation has purchased a splendid church edifice since Dr. Jackson has been in charge. The property is worth over $40,000. Dr. Jackson is editor in chief of the Christian Banner, the oldest Baptist paper in the north. The forty-second annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention will be held at this church, beginning Tuesday. June 12, 1916. Pythiania Meet in Wilkesbarre, Pa. The Knights of Pythias, grand lodge of Pennsylvania, assembled at Wilkesbarre, Pa., on Thursday, July 20.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEWOR PRESS ASSOCIATION The manager of the Oakland Auditorium intimates that Negroes may not be allowed the use of the building for dancing purposes, but is willing to back them for concerts and other such affairs. Mr. T. Henry requested the building for a big ball which the West Indian Association contemplates giving in the near future and was told by the manager that he must pay $200 rent and $200 for 20 union musicians and for police hire and other minor expenses, but added that he did not know whether the Auditorium would be let for a colored dance, as he very well knew that colored people liked to shoot and cut one another at their dances and that the dancers often carried bottles of whiskey and beer with them, and thus by keeping a continual war they might disgrace the building. All of this, it is alleged by Mr. T. Henry, the manager said, but that he would investigate the society and take the matter up with the proper commission and let him know. Mr. Henry, although somewhat disconcerted at the manager's reply, will do a little investigating on his own hook, and of which we may hear later. The last few weeks of festivities have passed into history and our visiting delegates have been royally received and entertained. Both the Federation and Odd Fellows Committee have no apologies to make for the elaborate way they entertained the visiting delegates. We did our best by opening up our homes, our churches, our halls and our city to them, and we only hoped they enjoyed themselves to the fullest measure, returning to their homes with warm words of praise for the good citizens of Oakland. Quite a number of school teachers and distinguished visitors are in our midst and we only hope that some of them may be impressed with our State and remain permanently. We need 100,000 more Negroes in this great State. There is plenty of room on the farm. We would like to ask a few of our big race men to practice a little oftener what they preach and help the race along lines other than hot air and pandering to those Negroes that are posing, as they call it. Just please stay on one side and don't keep flopping back and forth. We Simon Pures don't need you. Keep posing. Are our girls becoming housewives or do they marry fast enough? This is a subject for some thought and in a short time we may conclude to ask our well-informed mothers and club women to furnish the Sunshine with short essays on this subject. Does the so-called big darky or important and high-class Negro furnish the best support to the Negro journal and race enterprises, or is it the humble low class among us that is the most loyal? Answer in next week's issue. THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. The entertainment of the National Association was the initial entertainment for funds to reimburse the treasury of the organization having sent $25 to the National body to aid in its legal proceedings. Because this organization is one of the people and for the people to support a great cause that materially concerns our people, we feel that the public should have a statement of this entertainment: Receipts from tickets to date.....$74.95 Refreshments .....23.05 Disbursements .....30.20 To National Body .....38.00 The remaining funds are in the Oakland Bank of Savings. The social event of the season was on Monday evening, July 26, when the Association held a public reception in B. K. Bruce of national reputation, Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, member of the Board of Education of Washington, D. C., and one of the most highly intellectual women of the race. Prof. Cook of the department of International law of Howard University. Mrs. Cook, who, with her rare eloquence and wonderful oratorical ability charmed her hearers at the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, was heard to say that she could so forse the good that must inevitably result from this movement that she felt disposed to stand upon the streets of Washington, the capitals and ussurs of the city, that this organization presents in support of its great work. Now again! On Tuesday evening, August 10th, Prof. High tower Keating, another one of the stars of the intellectual firmament author, lecturer, president of Western University, will speak at the 15th st. church under the auspices of northern California Branch of N. A. A. C. P. The public is invited. Mrs. De Hart, Pres.

The Disigne Bill Gives Military Privileges to All Alike. Paris.-The chamber of deputies in this city has three colored deputies representing the colonies from which they are sent by the suffrage of their fellow citizens. A dispatch from Paris recently says that the race and color question that was raised in the French chamber of deputies by the bill of the Negro deputy, M. Diague, representing Senegal, providing for the extension of general compulsory military service in France to colonial municipalities whose inhabitants enjoy French citizenship, was presented in numerous new lights and complications at the session of the chamber. The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polygamist Senegalese leaving several widows proved a poser for the deputies. The minister of war and the military committee of the chamber approved the general provisions of the Dlagne bill, which provide for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Senegalese subject to compulsory service. The action of the committee was immediately attacked by Deputy Labroune, who pictured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labrouse also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amendment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments entitled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. The speaker was frequently interrupted by protests from the Negro Deputies Diagne, Lagrosilliere of Martinique and Candace and Boisneuf of Guadeloupe, Lagrosilliere crying amid frantic applause, "Our fellow citizens ask only to be allowed to serve the mother country, for which they already have poured out their blood." Paul Deschauel, president of the chamber, was forced to quell the tumult by declaring that the entire chamber felt "the same respect and the same love for all, whatever their race or religion, who are fighting under the folds of the tricolored flag." Deputy Labrouze insist on the special regiments for Senegalese who do not speak French. Deputy Boisneuf interrupted, crying, "I then demand a special regiment for Frenchmen unable to read and write." Deputy Diagne then obtained the floor and made an eloquent appeal or behalf of the blacks, reviewing the part they had played in conquering the French colonial empire. "For eleven months the Senegalese have demanded to be allowed to serve France," he said; "if they haven't been permitted to do so it is the fault of the minister of war." Deputy Diagne said that the widows of soldiers ought to receive pensions even when there were several, but he added: "Native soldiers are not as rich as the average French soldier, who is also poor and therefore has only one wife. Polygamy is a luxury of wealth." Alexandre Millerand, minister of war, said the Diagne old seemed to react the wishes of a majority of the colonels and urged its passage. The bill was passed without change. PRESIDENTS OF LAND GRANT COLLEGE TO MEET JULY 30 List of Topics and Speakers For Conference at Cincinnati. Cincinnati—the next meeting of the Land Grant college conference will be held in this city, beginning on Friday morning, July 30 at 10 o'clock. Professor Byrd Priderman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, at Institute, W. Va., is chairman of the conference and will preside at the coming session. The good effect of these conferences upon the various schools of the Land Grant college order has been the subject of much favorable comment. The idea of having the representatives of the institutions fostered by the Land Grant college meet once or twice a year to discuss the many phases of work and detail connected with such agricultural and industrial schools has proved to be a move in the right direction. The amount object of the presidents of these schools is to establish as far as possible a uniform system of teaching, discipline and general school management. The program of subjects and speakers for the meeting to be held in Cincinnati will be as follows: The Negro Land Grant College—(a) "Ts Mission," W. S.

HERMANSEN Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Wood, Coal, Hail, Grain, Feed Mr. springer, 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 West in the interest of a concession at the 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 Haverford, Conn. He has absolute charisma, a railroad insurance of this company. He is 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 B-con Block, to assist those that need assistance. He is reliable and honest in his business transactions, which is everything to a man's business. The young men who are running the Maroin Hall dancing school on Thursday evenings will make it a point to dispense with the school whenever it interferes with a date taken by any fraternal or charitable organization.

It is requested that the general public of the bay cities will rally towards attending the entertainment at Hamilton's Auditorium on August 26, as Rev. Peck is doing everything that is in his power to make this the greatest affair that has ever been witnessed in Oakland. CHINESE HERB SPECIALISTS.

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. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, "Will wait to get the big dolls." While the managers of small dolls were sent out, the managers of that the people wanted the dolls ranging from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are be'ng, rapidly sent out.

Mason from the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, many of the most prominent Negroes of this city realized that one of the most noted men in the race had passed away. Mr. Hayes, who is considered to be considered the best in his line as a builder and contractor, has been awarded the contract to build the two-story building in West Oakland. Mr. Hayes' workmanship speaks for itself. He has built several places in Oakland one of them being Mrs. Taylor's home on 24th street, which is one of the finest in town. And as he is one of our race, always ready to assist his race by employing them, we should not forget to look him up when we need a home to be built. Ring up Mr. Summers at Court House and he will put you in touch with him. Mrs. Nettie Smedley of Cleveland, Ohio, sister of our contractor, S. C. Rogers of Richmond, together with her daughters, Ruth and Clover, is visiting in our midst sight-seeing and attending the Fair. It is the first time she has seen her brother in six years, and to say that Sam is proud would be putting it mild. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers are noted for their hospitality and no doubt they will give them a good time. DIED—Mrs. Boney Titsworth Baker, beloved daughter of Mrs. Fannie Buford and devoted wife of Mr. Herman Baker departed this life on Monday, August 9th, at 6:30 a.m. Decceased was born June, 1885, Oriant, Ark. Married to Herman Baker in 1905. Mrs. Baker's mother died on March 16, 1915. Mrs. Baker leaves to mourn her loss a husband Herman Baker, a sister Rose Harell, three brothers, Ben, Basco, and Louise Titsworth and a host of friends. Funeral services were held from Henderson's Parlors on Friday, August 13th at 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Baker was laid to rest in Evergreen Cemetery. Mrs. George W. Brown gave a reception at her home on 61st street last Friday, August 6th, in honor of Mrs. Eva Edwards of Los Angeles, delegates and visitors to the Federation. The house was artistically decorated and the ladies were beautifully gowned. Light refreshments were served. About 125 persons were present. THE NATION IS STILL LYNCH ING. This nation is still engaged in that infamous pastime of lynching, and up to their period with the year but half gone the lynch record has already exceeded that of last year. The report sent out from Tuskegee a few days ago by Monroe Work reports that up to this time thirty-four lynchings have occurred, which shows an increase of over 12 up to this time last year. The causes for lynchings this year have been more trivial than at any other time since Mr. Work has been keeping tab of the lynchings that have occurred in the nation. Negroes have been lynched for the most trivial things—sassing a white man, refusing to get off the sidewalks and also refusing to address white men as Mr. Heretoire lynching was for the "usual crime," but now it is not for the usual crime, but for anything that is most trivial. On Saturday afternoon the evening newspapers of this city reported of the ghastly lynchings of Negro in the public streets of Tampa, which a public holiday was made out of the affair. The report stated that men, women and children gathered in the public square of the city and as the flames ate their way through the body of the young colored man a cheer went up from the crowd as if it was the celebration of a festival. Shame on a nation that goes on in this deadly and infamous game of lynching. Burning in effigy is too much like the real thing to be commended regardless of the nature of a quarrel leading up to it. This thing occurred in Jackson, Miss., a week ago. Bishop J. M. Connor, of the A. M. E. church was burlesqued because he saw fit to help the removing Dr. W. T. Vernon from the presidency of Campbell college. We are in no position to take sides in the matter. Whatever the issues or charges, burning in effigy should not have followed. White people have that monopoly, and it does not help us a bit to dissolve the trust. In fact white people have the patent and it should not be infringed on. Burning in effigy is at heart, burning a man—a spiritual mob, and just as venal as the one that permits its resolves to come to worked-out conclusions. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Martinez who have been the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Williams, returned to their home in Los Angeles Tuesday. Mrs. L. N.

To see and hear him as he directs the large chorus in Beethoven's "Hallelujah" from "Mount of Olives," Nevin's Chorus "The Rosary," and other selections; the works of the Master Composers, places him among the best musicians of this age. But he is more than a genius when it comes to the Negro conception of their own Folk Songs; and that that has been found impossible for the really teach or reproduce, the peculiarly characteristic Folkore Songs, as sung in the Negro days of Bondage, and after the Emancipation by "Fisk Jubilee Singers" and by late Race Composers, as S. Coleridge Taylor, Will Marion Cook, Nathaniel Dett, Harry Burleigh, Carl R. Diton, and others, he interprets as no other Director has; with such a conscious art of the past, and with the feelings of the Race of today, places him above all others. Mrs. E.

PATRIOTIC EXERCISES HELD With Music and Speeches by Eminent Men, Public Turns Out En Masse to Witness Event of National Interest. W. Monroe Trotter Speaks For Our Race. Boston. - A few minutes before 6 o'clock on the afternoon of July 5 the veil fell from the $20,000 bronze statue of Wendell Phillips in the Public Garden, and a crowd of from 5,000 to 6,000 acclaimed with cheers and patriotic song Daniel Chester French's almost speaking memorial of Boston's famous orator and abolitionist. As the sun was sinking behind rain clouds in the wink little John C. Phillips, Jr., the great-grandnephew of Wendell Phillips, the man who declared that if he lived long enough he would make Boston streets so pure to bear the footsteps of a cave, pulped the cord releasing the mantle which for several weeks had velled the statue. As the folds fell a way from the figure of the great abolitionist "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!" bumt from a chorus of colored singers. Fervent was the prayer of Rev. Montrose W. thronton, pastor of the historic Charles Street church and also chairman of the executive committee of the local Equal Rights league branch; sterling and practical the tribute of the acting mayor, George W. Coleman, a man of Wendell Phillips' principles, as was every speaker. Illuminating and forceful was the life story by Secretary William D. Brigham. Sweet and inspiring were the singing by the colored singers, led by Dr. Walter O. Taylor and J. Therman Jones, and the music of the brass band of Company L. Sixth regiment of Massachusetts militia. Picturesque and touching was the encomium by the only survivor of the New England abolitionists, Frank R. Sanborn, now eighty-three years old, still active, a coworker with Phillips. Earnest and unqualified was the praise by the spokesman for colored Americans, W. M. Trotter. Fired with obequence born of love was the eulogy of Ireland's friend and friend of all oppressed by Michael J. Jordan, son of O'Connell's island home; tuneful and noble the peasant of the poet of the occasion of Johnson of Phillips' party leader, beaten, his name, William Lloyd Garrison. Every participant was an emulator of the "Prophet of Liberty, Champion of the Shave," while the colored women of the Woman's Relief corps held the colors. The monument, an a masterpiece by Daniel Chester Ivey, the sculptor, represents the great abolitionist standing at a reading desk, his right hand resting upon the desk, his left out-stretched and beating a bit of broken letter. Upon the terrible background, above the head, the statue, are the words, "Whether In Chains or In Laurels, Liberty Knows Nothing but Victory." On the pedestal, in front, are the words in raised bronze letters: WENDELL PHILLIPS BILLS PROPHEET OF LUXURY. CHAMPION OF THE SLAVE. On the reverse side of the background is the quotation from Phillips: "I love you so passionly these streets of Boste, over whose pavements my mot' or held in tenderly my be feet, and if God grants me time enough I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave." The excavations were opened by Mr William D. Bridgman, secretary of the Wendell Phillips Memorial association, who introduced the acting mayor, George W. Coleman, president of the city council. Mr Coleman then introduced, in turn, four speakers, will presented a verbal pamphlet of Wendell Phillips' life. William D. Bridgman spoke on "Morning- Youth and Vision," Frank in Benjamin Sainborn on "Noon- the Alabionist Perk!" William Monroe Trotter on "Almonon- Citizenship for the Colored American" and Michael J. Jordan "Evening- What Mr Phillips Did For Ireland." Mr Coleman, in introducing William Monroe Trotter, said that nothing was so appropriate as for the colored race to have a spokesman in dedicating a monument to Wendell Phillips and that there could be no more fit representative than William Monroe Trotter. Mr. Trotter said that Wendell Phillips was the originator of the north's policy of reconstruction and a pioneer advocate of the ballot for colored Americans. No man had done more for the cause of human rights, perhaps, than Wendell Phillips, save Charles Sumner. Wendell Phillips was among the first to announce emancipation as the purpose of the war and to urge that the people of color should be used as soldiers to help to save the Union. He was a pioneer in the movement for suffrage. He saw to it that slavery should be torn up by the roots and that as far as federal law was concerned every man, white and black, should have citizenship and suffrage. Wendell Phillips believed, as we do, that the greatest thing is human freedom, said Mr. Trotter, and it cannot be maintained without equality, and there can be no equality without the ballot. J. H. HOPKINS Fancy Groceries, Fruits & Vegetables Prompt Delivery We Solocit Your Patronage 1348 11th Street. Oakland, Cal Phone Oak 1602 MISS HUDSON GOES SOUTH. Young Alabama Girl an Honor Graduate of Pratt Institute. Brooklyn. - Success has apparently already come to Miss E. Lola Hudson, who graduated several weeks ago with high honors from Pratt institute of this city. Miss Hudson entered the institution after having graduated from the university course of the Atlanta Baptist college, now better known as Morehouse college, for the purpose of completing a course in house economic and domestic scientific arts. The regular prescribed course covers a period of three years, but because of her exceptional ability Miss Hudson was able to take one year off the course, much to the delight and satisfaction of the entire faculty. As soon as it was learned that Miss Hudson was to graduate invitations began to pour in upon her to accept position in some of the numerous educational institutions. Perhaps one of the first offers that came to her was from the school of her own home city, Selma, Ala., where she has spent all of her life. Following close on the beets of this was an MISS E. LEOLA HUDSON. offer from Roger Williams university at Nashville, Tennessee, and then from Spellman seminary, Atlanta, Ga., of which school she is an alumna. Another came from the state school at Tallahassee, Fla. Other institutions have also offered the accomplished young Miss Hudson a position, but it was not known up to the time of her leaving this city recently just which of the offers she would accept. While in Brooklyn she spent the entire time at the home of Rev. and Mrs. S. W. Timms on Chaucey street and was an active worker in the religious affairs of the Holy Trinity church. The career of Miss Hudson as a scholar began at an early age when she finished with honors from the Clark high school at Selma, then the normal course at Selma university, where she won two medals. She then entered Spellman seminary and finished the teachers' course, winning another medal that had not been captured for a number of years. Miss Hudson then entered the college department of Morehouse college and headed the class, finishing with honors and capturing the highest prize in the gift of the college.
