All Kinds of Fancy Confectionery Made to Order 1319 Park Street Alameda, Cal. No 11 The Diace Bill Gives Military Privileges to All Alike. highes to All Aiks. Paris. - The chamber of deputies in this city has three 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. Diaign, 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 Diagne 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 Labone, 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 Labrone also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polyamous 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 Martique 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 Deschanel, 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 'he 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 oil seemed to reet 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 as 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 Gran' college fund 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.

KNOWN AS AN ORGANIZER. 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. By GEORGE F. KING. 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 Baptist in the 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 1908 he accepted a call to the Salem Baptist church, Jeukintown, 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 Jenkinintown 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. Pythians Meet In Wilkesbarre, Pa. The Knights of Pythias, grand lodge of Pennsylvania, assembled at Wilkesbarre, Pa., on Thursday, July 20. Large delegations of the order from Pennsylvania will attend the Pythian encompass and supreme lodge session of the order to be held in Columbus, O., beginning Tuesday, Aug. 17.

As the time for the General Conference of the A. M. E. Bethel and A. M. E. Zion Church draws near we are compelled to wonder what Bishops Colwell and Parks will do toward filling their various pulpits, and especially the two branches of Methodism in San Francisco. We believe that Jesus would first unite those two churches and then appoint a minister to take charge. We do not believe the day far distant when these two bodies of Methodism shall be united. The advantage of such a union will be felt more to the advantage of sparsely settled districts like California and the Western States. We hope that such a union will speedily come. With regard to the appointment that Bishop Colwell will make to supply the pulpit in San Francisco to succeed the Rev. W. W. Matthews, who labored so hard and benefited Zion, but it will take continual pulling to keep a decent congregation in a large city with only 1800 people to draw from, and two-thirds of them non-churchgoers.. We can only forecast a young, strong and vigorous minister that will be able to accomplish any results in San Francisco. The forecast, contrary to our first intimation a few weeks ago, we now find that Bishop Parks of the A. M. E. Bethel Church will be confronted with a tremendous task when he undertakes to supply his various churches with fit men. The Sunshine admits that owing to this complication in the churches, we can place but few of the ministers. Rev. Harbert, presiding elder, refuses to talk for publication, but easily shows his great concern as to how the changes will be made. Several weeks ago we forecasted the transfer of the Kev. Jesse Peck in order to further his candidacy for Episcopal honors, but having been informed that the Reverend gentlemen did not contemplate any such change from California, we willingly leave him where he will do the most good. Measuring Rev. Peck's three years' success by the two years' increase in efficiency, we predict a monster campaign, financially and spiritually. And we have made it up in our forecast for Rev. J. F. Peck to return to Oakland for another term. We are observant of the fact that the more climatized he becomes and the longer he stays in our cosmopolitan north, the better he like the weather and people and understands them better, and can therefore do more and better work each year. This is set forth by the great crowds that have attended the church for the last six months and also the effort with the great chorus. The Reverend gentlemen is getting down to his own and we reddig big things for him the next year. Another matter that adds to the embarrassment of the ministers of Methodism is collecting the dollar money or general fund. Instead of the minister doing a lot of begging, the church members should rally to his support and pay this claim without very much solicitation. Pay your dollar, as it is used for the general upkeep of the church. Rev. Peck says he has a long ways to go in a short time; so see him with the $1.00 at once. MULES MORE VALUABLE THAN NEGROES. Three Negroes were lynched in Hopehull, Alabama, on Wednesday day, August 18, 1915, for poisoning a mule. We hope that the sou of that poor mule may repose in peace. There will be no color question raised in regards to citizens using the Municipal Auditorium. This fact is verified by Commissioner Anderson, who says the West Indian Association may have the Auditorium for their dance when so desired. The alleged Great Negro Exposition has ended worse than even we Mrs. E. H. Barrett of 3882 Shafter thought it would. While early development, who has been confined to her opments disclosed the fact that the bed with a fractured leg for some few promoters of this scheme had their weeks, is still in bed but improving. heads and both feet in the trough, we COLORED BRANCH INTERNATIONAL WHITE CROSS SOCIETY AND HOME MISSION TRAINING SCHOOL. The First Annual Congress of the Colored Branch of the International White Cross Society will be held at the First M. E. Church of Alameda, Cal., August 24, 25; 9:30 A. M. The International White Cross Society has paid but little attention to the colored race heretofore, notwithstanding much has been done for various other races. At last, however, they have created a colored branch with headquarters at the San Fernando Building, Los Angeles, Cal., and for the education and enlightenment of our people, and the public in general, the society will hold the first Annual Congress in Alameda, Cal., beginning August 24, 25, setting forth the aim and object of the society. Some of the best talent of both races will be represented at this congress. An elaborate program has been arranged and Dr. George Hargrave MacNeil, chief commissioner and founder, will speak. The local and visiting ministers, including Bishop Sparke of the A. M. E. Church Conference, and other noted talent will be heard. The clubs and missionary societies of all the colored people are expected to be represented by delegates from San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, and Alameda. To miss this is to miss the opportunity of your life. Come and let us do something to better the moral, social, educational, spiritual and industrial condition of the colored race.

Mr. Ellis Freeman, who was known to the public as "Good Time" Ellis, and who was employed as a butter in a millionaire's home, pulled off a stunt that he could not handle. After inviting several friends and ordering up everything that looked like wine and something to eat, he sat down at the table with them and related the conversation that led them to believe that he was the owner of the place and not an employee of his own. He embarrassed by not being able to foot the bill, and was obliged to suffer. He now languishes behind the bars of our municipal skyscraper, thinking how easy it is to get in trouble but how hard it is to get out. COLORED EXPOSITION A MISERABLE FARCE.

Yet such has been the case and in the doing they now created more disgust and contempt among their own race. The North Oakland Baptist Church, 29th street, near San Pablo avenue. Dr. G, C. Coleman, pastor. The Lord was in His holy temple on last Sunday. The pastor preach morning and evening to good congregations. A number of distinguished visitors worshiped with us, among whom was Miss McDougal of Petersburg, Va., one of the teachers in the State Normal School from which our pastor graduated 23 years ago. It was then known as the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, with a curriculum equal to many northern Colleges. Since then the southern democrats, being carried away with the idea of industrial education only for colored people and white supremacy, have cut out the college course and made it altogether an academic and industrial center for the state. It still does a splendid work, as Miss McDougal proves. She is a delegate to the great N. E. A. now in session in our city. Next week all the Baptist folks around the bay region will be thronging around because of the visit of Mrs. S. W. Layton, president of the Woman's National Baptist Auxiliary Convention to the National Baptist Convention. Mrs. Layton will address a mass meeting in our church Wednesday evening, when all Oakland will be welcomed. She is a splendid type of American womanhood and stands head and shoulders above the women of the race, as has been proven by being elected to rule over the largest body of colored women in the world for many years. She is the only president the Baptist women of color have ever had. Sunday will be a glorious day with us. The pastor will preach morning and night. Come, you are welcome. Our pastor goes on his vacation the first of September and expects to represent us in the National Baptist Convention in Chicago September 8th. We ask your prayers. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Wilson received Sunday, August 15, in honor of their 52nd wedding anniversary. The drawing room and parlors were the scene of many choice and beautiful cut flowers, having been sent by their many friends. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were in their usual jolly mood of spirit and seemingly had just started on their matrimonial voyage. During the afternoon many friends from both sides of the bay came in to congratulate the happy couple. Those who assisted Mrs. Wilson in receiving were Mesdames Ada Thompson, J. Grasty and P. Bar Binder Hinds. PERSISTENCE IN BUSINESS. Publishers of the Asbury Park (N. J.) Recorder: Ace Engraved. Recorder Are Encouraged. Asbury Park, N. J. The People's Recorder, E. M. and F. S. Webster owners, celebrated its first anniversary on Friday, July 30. The venture has been very successful, notwithstanding in the beginning the owners of the paper had to employ a New York printer to do the work in New York city each week. Many other difficulties confronted the Messrs. Webster, but they exercised great patience and used good judgment. In about nine months they had gained considerable experience and mastered most of the difficult problems which confronted them at the beginning. In relating his early experience with In relating his early experience with the paper E. M. Webster says: "Seeing the expenses going up and the profits beginning to dwindle, type, press and everything necessary to print the paper was purchased from a New York printers' supply house on the 5th of October, 1914. This enabled us to do jobwork and insert 'last minute' news, which was another stride forward. Since that time the Recorder has steadily forged ahead, slowly but surely. "There were times when things looked dark and discouragement loomed high, but we had only to turn to a little card which we had tacked upon the wall which reads, 'Heaven is not gained by a single bound, but we build the ladder by which we rise,' etc. This gave us new hope and greater courage. On this, the Recorder's first birthday, we find in summing up that we have made a great stride toward the coveted goal, and with the same good fortune that has attended us in the past we shall ultimately reach the desired end. We extend today our best wishes to our readers and supporters, and we wish them the greatest success. "The Recorder has passed the infant stage. From an expensive experiment it has partly reached the happy realization of our fondest dreams. Our endeavors have been crowned with a success that has won the patronage and esteem of many subscribers and advertisers in a field of more than 400 colored publications. "We take this opportunity to thank our many hundreds of subscribers, advertisers, voluntary contributors and well wishers. The encouraging letters received have been many, and they generally came at a time when they were most welcome. Our appreciation is evident by our efforts to please. In the installation of interesting features which we are able to get from time to time we hope to cover a whole field. "We invite suggestions and criticisms from subscribers and readers. They are always welcome. The Recorder is for the benefit of our people as a race, and we respectfully invite the public to make it their home companion." ACTIVITY AMONG FARMERS.

Boston—The National Negro Business league, which meets here on Wednesday, Aug. 18, says in its notes on racial progress: The Brown Savings bank of Norfolk, Va., is in a very neatly condition. E. C. Brown is president and William M. Rich cashier. The business was started six years ago, with total assets of $10,434. It has increased to $67,827.00. It is still increasing at the rate of from $20,000 to $30,000 annually. The Christmas Saving club feature is very popular. In 1914 the bank paid to the depositors in this club the sum of $23,000. At the rate the members of the club are now making weekly deposits the outlook is favorable for the return of $100,000 the forthcoming Christmas week to the fortunate depositors. The league also notes that our people in Virginia pay taxes on real and personal property to the amount of $34,743,656. They pay taxes on personal property and real estate in the city of Richmond to the amount of $3,180,662.

CARNATION CASH GROCERY. 5718 San Pablo Ave CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER 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 the agency for the northern part 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, coronial 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. They are also in a position to rent Marion Hall at a reduced price on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and Friday evenings, and solicit the patronage of the public. 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.

CHICAGO PUSHING PLANS FOR EXPOSITION 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 DODSON 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 godsppeed. 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 under ground 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 1850, which quickly brought on the civil war, and which, after four years, terminated in the freedom of the slaves and a final surrender of Robert E.

It is reported that legal steps have been taken to widen up the Caroline Donovan trust fund in Baltimore, created about twenty nine years ago for the purpose of encouraging colored American to enigrate to Liberia. The fund was created by the American *Cobolian society*. That the scheme is so popular with the race in America is shown by the fact that only about fifteen have enigrated to Africa during the existence of the American colonization society.

Prof. Jackson, of the Department of Music, of "Western University" of Kansas, is not only a teacher and composer, but the best Negro Pipe Organist and Chorus Director of his Race. 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 Caucasian to successfully teach or reproduce, the peculiarly characteristic Folkcore Songs, as sung in the Eggdays of Bondage, and the Emgrennings of Bodage, the tubilee 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 west 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 oo sure to bear the footsteps of a save, pulsed the cord releasing the mantle which for several weeks had velled the statue. As the folds fell away from the figure of the great abolitionist "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" buryt from a chorus of colored singers. Fervent was the prayer of Rev. Montrose W. Thornton, pastor of the historic Charles Street church and also chairman of the executive committee of the localEqual 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 B. Sainborn, 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 eloquence 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 paean of the poet of the occasion, the godson of Phillips' party leader, beneath his name, William Lloyd Garrison. Every participant was an emulator of the "Prophet of Liberty, Champion of the "Slave," while the colored women of the Woman's Relief corps held the colors. The monument, a masterpiece by Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, represents the great abolitionist standing at a reading desk, his right hand resting upon the desk, his left outstretched and holding a bit of broken letter. Upon the marble background, above the head on the statue, are the words, "Whether In Chains or In Laundry, Liberty Knows Nothing but Victory." On the pedestal, in front, are the words in raised bronze letters: On the reverse side of the background is this quotation from Phillips: "I love 'expressibly these streets of Boston, over whose pavements my mother held up tenderly my body feet, and if God grants me time enough I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave." The exercises were opened by Mr. William D. Brigham, 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, who presented a verbal panorama of Wendell Phillips' life. William D. Brigham spoke on "Morning-Youth and Vision;" Noon-the Abolitionist Period; William Monroe Trotter on "Afternoon-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 Sunner. 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.
