MASTER OF AGASSIZ SCHOOL Had Taught for Forty Years in Lead ing Cambridge Public School; Principal Nine Years and Master Boston, Mass., Feb. 3.—While addressing members of the Council of the Robert Gould Shaw House Association Monday afternoon, January 16, in the Copley-Plaza, Boston, Miss Marie Baldwin, principal of the Agassiz School, Cambridge, Mass., one of the most prominent colored women in the United States, collapsed in the middle of her discourse and died within a few minutes. Miss Baldwin, the third speaker of the afternoon, was delivering one of her characteristic addresses. She suddenly halted, brushed her hand across her eyes and fell to the floor. Benjamin F. Selden, a Y. M. C. A. secretary, rushed to her assistance. The house physician and Dr. Bird were summoned and the three gave first aid. All efforts to revive her were unsuccessful. An ambulance was summoned and she was taken to the City Hospital. On arrival there she was pronounced dead. Dr. Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity Church, who is president of the Council and presided at the meeting, immediately adjourned the session. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Miss Esther Barrows of the South End House, Boston, had just preceded Miss Baldwin with addresses. Miss Baldwin was educated in the schools of Cambridge, was graduated from the Cambridge Teachers' Training School in 1881, and the following year started teaching in the Agassiz School. In 1907 she was appointed principal of that school and in 1916, when the school was enlarged, she was made master, having the distinction of being the only woman to hold such a position in the schools of Cambridge. She was probably the only colored mester of a public school in New England. Her reputation as a teacher was enviable. Her kindness and patience with the children under her direction in scholastic activities throughout her long period at Agassiz School brought her the high esteem of thousands in Cambridge. She was a close friend of members of the Agassiz family and also of many Harvard professors and Cambridge professional men whose children she taught. She had taken many courses at Harvard University, Boston University and other higher educational institutions. She was one of the most prominent women lecturers in the country. She was president of the Wohan's Community Service League; a member of the Twentieth Century Club; a former president of the Boston Ethical Society, and a member of the Council of the Robert Gould Shaw House Association. Miss Baldwin had been in ill health for some time. Her death is believed to have been due to heart trouble. She is survived by a sister, a teacher in a high school at Wilmington, Del., and a brother, a graduate of Harvard, a practicing lawyer in the West. For many years, up to teh time of her death, she resided in the Franklin Square House, Boston. Funeral Service. Funeral service for Miss Baldwin took place in Arlington Street Church. Thursday afternoon, January 19th. For the preceding two days Miss Baldwin's body had been lying in state in the parlors of the League of Women for Community Service, of which she had been president. The casket was surrounded with flowers, gifts of her host of friends. Several ministers took part in the services, which were opened by Rev. Abraham M. Rihbany, minister of the Church of the Disciples. Rev. Pitt Dillingham read from the Scriptures; Harold K. Estabrook, secretary of the Boston Ethical Society, read from the organization's literature, and Rev. Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity Church, spoke a few words of eulogy. The bearers were Robert Treat Paine, Harold Peabody, Clarence D. Kingsley, Dr. Samuel E. Courtney, Clement G. Morgan, U. A. Ridley and William L. Reed. The body was taken to the chapel of the Massachusetts Cremation Society. In noting the death of Miss Baldwin, Mr. J. E. Chamberlain, a well THE MONITOR known Boston newspaper man, writing in the New York Evening Mail, said that "her great personal merit had made her the friend of some of the most prominent families in Cambridge and Boston." He added: "So far as I can ascertain her colot never made any difference with her standing and estimation in the community. Her personal merit had enabled her to transcend that difficulty completely. "However, that fact she herself did not forget or try to make anybody else forget, and her death came by collapse when she was taking part in a meeting of the Robert Gould Shaw House Association in behalf of colored education. "In the school of which she was the master she had long taught white children, with a small sprinkling of those of her own race. She was, in particular, a lifelong friend of the agassiz family, and she also num-ored the late Julia Ward Howe among her close friends." ORDER OF EASTERN STAR HOLDS MEETING Hiawatha and Omaha Chapters Entertained by Shaffer Chapter with Worthy Matron Ella Hunter Presiding. Never was masonry more illuminated than when the ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star met in an occasional grand chapter with Shaffer, Hiawatha, and Omaha chapters represented last Monday night. Exemplification of work by the three degree teams presided over by Worthy Matron Ella Hunter was beautiful and instructive. A review of the organization of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska by Pastmaster Nathaniel Hunter gave encouragement to all. The honored guest, Sir Knight T. W. Bell, attorney of Leavenworth, Kansas, was introduced and after complimenting the splendid work of the evening, made a plea for assistance in the liberation of our soldiers who have been in the Federal prison at Leavenworth since the Houston riets. His recital of their case brought tears to the eyes of all. An elaborate luncheon in charge of Mrs. Florence Riggs, Mrs. R. K Lowry and an able corps of assistant was enjoyed by all. THE GREAT BIG CIRCUS All roads will lead to Omaha the week starting Monday, February 6th, because of Agee's big winter circus which Tangier Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will put on at the Omaha Auditorium. The various railroads have agreed on reduced rates and Omaha hotel men announce that they are prepared to take care of the crowds. The circus will not be an amateur affair. It will be an all professional show with elephants, trained lions, horses, ponies, monkeys, mules, barebalk riders, alrobats, wire walkers, clowns, aerial artists, equilibrists and everything else that goes to make up a genuine circus. The novelty of giving a circus in the dead of winter is causing a wonderful advance sale of tickets. This circus is for everybody and the Shrine hopes to have a weekl attendance that will exceed fifty thousand. Agee's circus will exhibit in Minneapolis before coming to Omaha and will afterward show in Milwaukee and Duluth. The show is carried from city to city in a special train and the elephants are fitted with ear-muffs, leathers boots and trunk covers, to keep them from freezing.

COLORED PEOPLE ARE NOT INFERIOR DECLARES MANGIN Famous French General Takes. U Cause of Black Folk and Punctures Absurd Legend of Inherent Inferiority of Race. MERE TRADITION OF SLAVERY Civilization Did Not Spring From White Race and It May Be Out-distanced in Future by Colored Races of World. Paris, France, Feb. 2—"An end must be put to this absurd legend of the inferiority of the black races. It is based solely upon the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races." So declares General Mangin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have taken up advocacy of the cause of the blacks, following the winning of the Goncourt literary prize by the Martinique writer, Rene Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the black army theory, holding that only by training and arming her colonial subjects can France redress the balance in face of more populous Germany. Their fighting value he proved in the war, for "Manger" Mangin's colonial army was always in the thick of the Franc hovensives. The general gained his affection for the colored races during the twenty years he spent in colonial military and administrative commands. He is not merely a soldier, but has considerable competence in literary talent, which gives weight to his remarks on culture among the Negro races. "There really is an intellectual elite among the blacks, whom liberty has introduced to our culture," he asserted in an interview. "And experience has demonstrated that this elite possesses the ability to excel in every domain of human activity. "Civilization has its source in Yellow Asia, Black India and Black Egypt. Greece dates only from 1,200 or 1,500 years before Christ, and Rome was only a tardy pervenu in the history of world development. Our alphabets are Asiatic and our figures Arabic. In short, the white race is only a stage in humanity—not the first nor probably the last. There is no guarantee that it will not be out-distanced by the colored races in future ages." "But doesn't Africa seem a little behind?" the interview asked. As Good Morals as Paris Has. "That depends upon what is understood by progress. There is moral progress there, which has not made much advance in centuries, and scientific progress, which strides with giant paces. Moral progress is as good as, and perhaps better than, in Paris, among certain African tribes. As to the second, more illusionary than real. Negroes assimilate it with disconcerting rapidity. Three months is sufficient for them to become locomotive drivers, steamboat pilots or taxicab chauffeurs. All our wireless stations in Africa are served by natives in Africa are served by natives. "In the vast zone which extends between the valleys of the Senegal, the Niger, the upper affluents or the Congo, the basin of Bahr-el-Ghazal, the White Nile and Abyssinia, inhabited by tribes which may be mostly included in the black races, we find in the languages, manners, religions, monuments and arts all the elements of immemorial civilizations. Why have these people not received earlier what are called the benefits of Western civilization? It must be confessed that it is largely due to the whites, who long have been nothing toward the blacks but pitiless 'nigger' drivers. "In the Darkest Africa of Stanley the blacks have remained nearer to the primitive Negro. That is a matter of climate, the humid heat of the equator sapping the energies of the people. They remain devoted to the horrors of fetishism and sometimes cannibalism. But my long experience of the advanced black races permits me to affirm that for family virtues, qualities of heart and intelligence they compare very well with our own populations. Lacks Heredity. "Admittedly, from the intellectual point of view the Negro lacks heredity. His misfortune was to be considered for thousands of years as human cattle. All routes toward the civilizing elements of West and East were barred to him. Yet his heart has remained pure, his soul ingenious and his intelligence open. He is avoid to learn and understand; and he is naturally good, faithful, devoted, loyal and very sensible to the sentiment of honor and the nobility of individual sacrifice for just causes." "Is there a Negro literature as there is a Negro art?" the General was asked. "The latter is more popular, but a Negro literature exists, and I can certify that it does not lack observation, sensibility or fantasy. The blacks have an innate gift of imagery and they express with force and not without finesse what they feel and what they think. Their story tellers are legion. Their griots (a special caste which includes historians, poets, musicians, sorcerers) have a repertory of tales not less piquant than our old fables in verse. They have also a lyric poesy. The Bongo, a heroic and sentimental lamentation, is most moving. And what shall I say of the touching cradle song of the Sons of Somori? "The Frech writer, black or white who collected the elements of African folklore certainly would add a sensational novelty to our literature." HEIRS TO $250,000 ESTATE. Philadelphia, Feb. 3.—Through the death of Mrs. Emma Jones-Warwick who died last Friday, Mrs. Meta Warwick-Fuller, sculptress, of New York and the children of the late Frank Cardoza of Washington, D.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE HOUSE PASSES DYER BILL By a vote of almost two to one the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was passed by the House last week after a long and spirited debate, in which the democrats opposed and the republicans favored the measure. The vote was almost unanimously partisan, 221 republicans voting in the affirmative and 102 democrats in the negative. Eight democrats and one socialist voted with the republicans, making the total affirmative vote 230, while 17 republicans voted with the democrats, swelling the negative to 119. The democrats' opposition by no means reflected credit upon them. Their methods were unbecoming and undignified, being largely confined to filibustering. In debate they substituted puerilities, innuendoes and fallacies for argument and dragged in the race question, which seems to be the chief political asset a veritable Aladdin's lamp of the southern representatives. With notably few exceptions there was no serious attempt upon the part of the opposition to meet argument with argument, but upon the contrary to sway by demagic appeal to passion and prejudice. This is always unfortunate and regrettable, as it beclouds the issue and obscures the principle at stake. The principle involved in this measure is very clear.

Kirkland Shall Lynching or Mob Murder, which is a national menace and a disgrace and reproach to the whole nation, and which the individual states seem powerless to suppress, be made a federal offense and as such punishable by the federal authorities? It is a question simply as to the best practical way of reaching by remedial legislation a national menace which all thoughtful Americans recognize and deplore. The House has given its answer. It remains now for the Senate to speak. The Monitor believes that the measure will pass the Senate. We regret that it became a partisan measure in the House. We believe it should have peen passed not as a partisan measure, but as a patriotic one. We hope it will be so considered by the Senate and treated and passed upon its merits as a sincere effort to expiate the nation from the crime of mob-murder, in the guilt of which we all share when we condone or silently acquiesce. We hope, as we have said before, that the South, in which we believe there is a growing desire to suppress this evil from which it more largely suffers than any other section of the country, will be brought to see that a federal law will help them to bring to pass just what the best minds and hearts among the people of the South desire: the suppression of mob vio- lence and the maintenance of the supremacy of law, the only safeguard of civilization. We believe the day will come when all sections of the nation will recognize the fact that Congressman Dyer and all who have so zealously worked with him to frame and enact this measure have rendered America a great, patriotic service. We must not overlook the fact that the Dyer Bill has yet to pass the Senate and that, therefore, friends of the measure must not relax their efforts to impress upon the senators from their respective districts that they desire them to support it, not as a racial, sectional or partisan question, which it is not, but as a patriotic duty to save not some hapless victim, black or white, but Columbia herself from the lyncher's and the assassin's rope. CREDIT DUE. Great credit is due the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People for the passage of the Dyer Bill by the House of Representatives. The always courteous, sane, gentlemanly, well-informed James Weldon Johnson, the general secretary, was on the ground constantly during the debate and was in close touch with the leaders on the floor, wh frequently consulted him as to statistics and data, which were used in the arguments against the opposition. It was no doubt the carefully tabulated facts and statistics which had been so carefully compiled by the national office, as much as anything else, which created favorable sentiment for the bill, even among democratic members who, while admitting their cogency, voted against it because of their traditions and party fealty. Credit also is due William Monroe Trotter and other representatives of the Equal Rights League, and other upstanding men of the race like Kelly Miller, Archibald Grimke, Robert Church and Emmett J. Scott, who used their influence wisely and unostentiously. Our people were and are unitedly for this measure because our people have been so largely the victims of mobs and believe this will bring relief. The intelligent, sane and dignified manner in which representatives of our group rendered assistance should be a matter of pride and congratulation. It shows the value of intelligent and united action. PACKER'S STRIKE ENDS THE ending of the strike of THE ending of the strike of the packing house employees this week brings a sense of relief to many. The strikers lost their fight. This was clearly foreseen by many owing to its untimeliness and the general unemployment. Many of our own people were affected both as strikers and "strike breakers." It is to be hoped that the packing industries will on the grounds of simple justice retain in their employ the workers who same to their relief when the strike was called. Many of our people who had been out of employment for months and were facing a serious situation availed themselves of the opportunity of working. It would be manifestly unfair to replace these men by strikers. With an increased output it is to be hoped that places will be found for mary of the former packing house wages. The Monitor hopes that im-wages. The Monitor hopes that improving industrial and trade conditions will make it possible for every man and woman who desires work to secure it.

SACAGAWEA, "THE BIRD WOMAN" SCOUT In the Portland (Ore.) city park stands the statue of an Indian woman. A little baby is strapped on her back and her hand is outstretched to the west, toward the Pacific ocean. The statue is that of Sacagawea, "The Bird Woman," the sixteen-year-old girl scout and guide who led Lewis and Clark over the "Shining Mountains" to the "Everywhere-Salt-Water" toward which her band-points. When Lewis and Clark visited the Hidatsa Indians in North Dakota on their great exploring trip west, they found a Shoshone girl living with that tribe. At the age of five she had been captured from her people by a Hidatsa war party. When she was fourteen years old, Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian trapper, won her from her captor in a game of "hide-the-bone" and married her the next year. The Bird Woman wished to return to her people and Lewis and Clark engaged Charbonneau and his wife as interpreters to the Indians they would meet. During the winter of 1805 Sacagawea gave birth to a son, whom she called Baptiste, and this tiny papoose went with his dauntless mother through all the hardships which the explorers afterward endured. He was strapped on Sacagawea's back one day when the clumsy Charbonneau upset one of the boats containing the precious instruments and records of the party. The Bird Woman at once sprang overboard into the muddy stream and rescued them. More than once Sacgawaea proved her value to the explorers. Far up the river when the forest and snow baffled her companions and they were lost, the homing instinct of the Indian girl led her on and she guided them safely to her people. The chief who welcomed them proved to be Sacgawaea's brother, who was overjoyed to see his lost sister again. He sold the white men much-needed horses—and would have stolen them back, had not the Bird Woman betrayed the plot to Captain Lewis. Sacgawaea remained with Lewis and Clark until they reached the Pacific. On their return journey she stopped with her people, the Shoshones, and there she spent the remainder of her days. She died on the Wind River reservation in Wyoming April 9, 1894, almost a hundred years of age. Would Maintain His Principle. "Look here, my friends," said the soap box orator.

BOSS OF SUMMER TOURISTS A Geyser is Only a Geyser, but a Bear is a Humorist, Says Edmund Heller—Big Game is Increasing Rapidly. New York.—The bear as a playful hold-up man who rides tourists' automobiles and breaks into hotels for food is one of the uncertain quantities of Yellowstone park, says Edmund Heller, the big game hunter, who has just returned from several months in the park studying the wild life of larger animals for the Roosevelt wild life experiment station connected with the school of forestry at Syracuse university. Mr. Helter likes bears. He has spent hours watching and photographing them during the past summer, and thinks they are by far the most interesting things in the park, more so than the geysers and hot springs. A geyser is only a geyser after you have seen it a few times, says Mr. Helter, but a bear is a source of infinite humor to those who study him. Big game in the park is increasing, with the exception of mountain sheep and antelope, he says. Much of his report will be devoted to methods of preventing the graceful sheep and antelope from disappearing altogether from the Yellowstone. It is not their natural habitat, for in winter, unless restricted, they would move south into the Dakotas, he says. As it is they stay in the park, many freezing to death. On the other hand, moose are increasing rapidly, and elk are so numerous that they can be heard bugling all day long as they charge across the bottoms. They number at least 10,000. Mr. Heller said he frequently saw large herds with bulls driving their cows and trumpetting defiance at the world. Mule deer are also increasing fast, and beavers fill the streams, he says. Increase in Tourists. The greatest change in the Yellowstone in the last few years, however, is in the greatly increased number of tourists, according to Mr. Heller. The automobile and the war are both largely responsible, although, oddly enough, most of the tourists are Westerners, to whom wild country is no novelty. The park is filled with camps at which automobile parties may stop for the night under the supervision of a ranger to see that they do not fire the woods. The bears are a constant source of interest to these tourists. If cars are left a moment a fat, black bear may soon be found pawing the seat and upholstery to pieces in search of food. The bears are fairly tame, because they are never molested, but they are wild enough to claw the tourist who tries to drive them off with nothing more than temper and a stick. "The rangers really have to protect the bears from tourists," says Mr. Heller, "because the animals flock around the hotels for food." Occasionally a tourist gets tangled up with one so badly that the bear has to be shot. Now the bears have regular feeding places where the waste from the hotels is dumped. The tourist watches from behind a screen with a ranger looking on with a rifle to protect both the tourist and the bears. "They come loping in at regular hours, often a mother bear bringing her cubs. She will put the cubs up a tree and tell them to stay there. If they come down while she is feeding, she runs back and cuffs them into the tree again, just like naughty children. Bears often go back after a meal, climb a tree in full view of people and go to sleep. Bears Are Funny. "They are funny things. They walk like a man when they stand up. When they are in a tree they often sit like a man, with legs dangling on each side of a branch and clutching the trunk in front of them. They often break into hotels. Big logs will buffle them, but any ordinary house with clapboards or square corners which they can get hold of they rip open with a few pulls from their powerful paws. "One bear followed me around for days, trotting at my heels like a dog. We called him 'the kodak bear.' He was as tame as a kitten. They are dangerous for persons who don't know how to treat them, however. There are about 60 grizzlies in the park now, although they are not seen so often as the others and, of course, are more dangerous. You should see the black and cinnamon bears run when a grizzly comes up to the feeding place behind the hotel. They scatter in every direction and take to the trees, for a grizzly, although he can run like a horse, can't climb trees. "The deer and elk also come up to the houses to be fed, and sometimes deer can be fed from the hand. One old elk is called 'Ash-Can Pete' because when he comes looking for food he goes around tipping over all the ash cans. He had been there for years. Everybody knows him." The buffaloes, which seemed in danger of extermination a few years ago, are now increasing so rapidly that there are two large herds of them in the park, says Mr. Heller.

THINGS TO DO TO AVOID FAT Do Not Be Too Lavish in Use of Butter, Sugar and Eggs—Testing Temperature With Thermometer Is Excellent Plan. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) If you are fond of doughnuts, but find those you make at home become soaked with fat while frying, the following suggestions may be of help. They are the result of a long series of experiments in the absorption of fat by fried batters and doughs carried on in the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture. A rich dough always absorbs more fat in frying than a plainer mixture. Unless you wish your doughnuts to be excessively rich, do not be too lavish with butter, sugar, and eggs. The following recipe makes doughnuts which, if properly fried, are not so excessively rich as to be a menace to digestion. Plain Doughnuts. 1 cupful sugar. ing powder (level 1 tablespoonful but- measurement). ter. 1 teaspoonful salt. 1 egg. 1 teaspoonful cinnam- 1 milk. mon. 4 cupful flour. 1 teaspoonful nut- 4 tablespoonful bak- meg. A very soft dough absorbs more fat than a stuffer mixture, was another fact found through these experiments. Too much flour, however, makes a doughnut that is not so light and fuzzy as is desirable. The addition of hot riced potatoes to the mixture makes a A woman weighing a pot of water. A Wire Plunger That Will Keep Doughnuts Under Fat Enables You To Fry Doughnuts in Half the Time and the Result is Better. doughnut that is light and fluffy, but at the same times does not absorb much fat. Doughnuts made by this recipe are delicious when fresh, but also keep well. Potato Doughnuts, 1½ cupfuls of sugar, 4 tablepoonfuls 2 tablespoonfuls but- baking powder. ter. 1 teaspoonful salt. 2 eggs. 1 teaspoonful cnn- 1-3 cupful hot riced namon. potatoes. ½ teaspoonful nut- 2-3 cupful milk. meg. 5½ cupfuls Fry. Fry your doughnuts no longer than necessary. Frying doughnuts in fat that is not hot enough, or rolling and cutting them so that they are too thick to cook through in a short time, or failure on the part of the cook to judge when they are done, or any other cause that keeps them in the fat too long, tends to make them greasy. Testing the temperature of the fat with a thermometer is the best method in frying doughnuts. Other methods, though sometimes successful, are uncertain. A temperature of 185 degrees Centigrade, or 365 degrees Fahrenheit, has been found satisfactory. Doughnuts rolled about $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch thick can usually be fried in 3 minutes at this temperature if they are turned to make them brown evenly; or they may be fried in $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ minutes if forced under the surface of the fat during frying. Frying With a Basket. It was found that the use of some device to force the doughnuts under the surface of the fat was the most satisfactory method of frying. An ordinary wire frying basket, with a ball and slightly smaller in diameter than the frying kettle, can be used. When the doughnuts first rise to the surface of the fat, lower the empty basket over them under the surface of the fat. Doughnuts fried by this method absorb less fat, brown evenly, and are much less apt to crack than when turned in frying. The basket can be used for draining the doughnuts after they are removed from the fat. If your nose is oily or shiny, bathe it nightly with borax water or wash with cornmeal instead of soap. After a few minutes rice powder or powdered starch should be applied. Salads serve a double purpose. They are tempting to the appetite and they aid digestion. No dinner, however good, is complete without a salad. To Albert C.
