"Give Once For All" Space Contributed by The Monitor HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOLDS CONVOCATION WITH GOOD RESULTS Three Days Devoted to Study of the Christian Ministry—Inspirational Addresses of High Educational Value NOTABLE SPEAKERS on PROGRAM Two Hundred Fifty Pastors and Other Church Officials Register and Actively Participate in Discussions Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.—The Eighth Annual Convocation of the Howard University School of Religion was held on October 28, 29th and 30th. The three days were devoted primarily to a study of the Christian ministry. Beside many inspirational addresses of high value, careful consideration was given to three phases of the subject, though many others were dealt with by one or more of the speakers. These may be stated in general terms as first, The Field; second, The Call, and third, The Training of Ministers. These phases were not treated in a formal orderly way, but were constantly coming to the front in all of the discussions. The African field was presented by an eminent educator, Dr. James H. Dillard, Charlottesville, Va., who is a member of the General Education Board; by a leading scientist, Dr. H. L. Shantz of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and by a missionary bishop, the Rt. Rev. Matthew W. Clair of the Methodist Episcopal Church, each of whom has recently visited Africa. The vast natural resources and the great possibilities of the people were set forth as challenges to America to provide leadership of the right sort. The home field was the subject of three remarkable addresses by Bishop George C. Clement of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. The practical problems confronting the minister in the rural and urban churches were with considered with sympathetic insight and candid criticism, so that all were made to feel that the function of the ministry is the most important the most challenging and the most rewarding of all. The call to the ministry was a subject much discussed. An extreme case was told of a colored man who lay down at full length beside a log and prayed "O Lord, if you don't want me to preach, just lift me up and put me on the other side of this log." Needless to add that he got his call! ! ! In general, however, it was asserted that visions and voices and midnight graveyard experiences cannot be a substitute for good character, adequate training, personal consecration and general fitness for the work as tested by the judgment of others. Great emphasis was placed on the necessity for proper intellectual training as a supplement to consecrated enthusiasm, Zeal and knowledge, rightly harnessed, make a good working team. Great interest was aroused at the round table discussions, conducted by Dr. Robert L. Kelly of New York, director of the recent survey of the fifty-two Negro theological seminaries in this country. Dr. Kelly pointed out the weaknesses and the possibilities of these schools. The convocation sermon by Rev. W. S. Abernethy, D. D., of the Calvary Baptist church, pastor of the late President Harding, dwelt in a masterly way with the saying of Jeroboam, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem" and the words of Jesus, "The Son of Man must need go up to Jerusalem."The easy way of self-interest and the hard way of self-sacrifice THE MONITOR MRS. MALONE PAYS HIGHEST INCOME TAX (By the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 14.—According to published figures, the highest income tax for 1923 paid by any Negro in America was that of Mrs. Annie M. Turnbo-Malane, founder of Poro Beauty College, this city. it amounted to $38,408 and denoted a probable income for the year of $170,000. It is thought that the figures for Mr. and Mrs. Malone would have been larger but for the large amounts which they gave to charitable purposes. Their wealth is credited at being more than a million dollars. Last May they contributed $25,000 to the general building fund of the Y. M. C. A. here. Previously they had given large sums to the colored branch and had made o gift of $10,000 to the medical department of Howard University, besides contributing to various other schools and philanthropies. RECOMMENDS SPECIAL HISTORIES FOR THE SOUTH (By the Associated Negro Press) Quitman, Ga., Nov. 14.—If the Daughters of the Confederacy can do anything about it, every Southern college and university will have endowed a chair in Southern history and Southern literature to deal with the social and economic development most interesting to the South. The proposal was made by Mary Rutherford before the state convention of the confederacy who told the delegates that in the event they accepted the idea she would submit plans for carrying it into execution. were contrasted with apt illustration so as to make a powerful appeal for personal loyalty to Jesus Christ. No one who heard the address of Dr. Edwin E. Slosson on the relation of science to religion can easily forget the pungent, cogent phrasing with which he showed the essential unity of all truth and that religion and science have grown together. He asserted that the leading men of science are with few exceptions active in the Christian church. The splendid addresses given at the University Chapel by Col. John T. Axton, chief of chaplains of the U. S. Army; by Dr. William Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P., New York, and by Bishop Reverdly C. Ransom of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, were received by students and members of the Convocation with great enthusiasm. Three features of the Convocation in general are worthy of notice. First, the attendance was unusually large. Nearly 250 pastors and church officials registered, beside the general public and the university family. Second, the startling facts brought out by Dr. Kelly awakened deep concern. In face of the evidence that Negro theological seminaries are not meeting the demands made upon them, the conviction grew that the church must devote itself more earnestly to the task of training its leaders. Third, an outstanding feature of the Convocation was the spirited discussion which profitably occupied all of the time available. Great vital questions were asked, challenging conditions were presented and perplexing problems were fearlessly faced. Practical not theoretical, sociological rather than theological subjects were uppermost. The prevailing mood of the delega'es as the Convocation closed was neither ecstacy nor despondency, but that of chastened optimism. The Christian Church and its ministry have a great service to render, but the call for deeper consecration and better training is insistent. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1924 THE LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE AND LIVING MAKE THE BIG THINGS THE LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE AND LIVING MAKE THE BIG THINGS The little things in life make for the big things. Some of the greatest and most decisive events in the history of mankind have been the result of what appeared to be the smallest and most inconsequential things. Dr. Washington ascribed his success in life to the sweeping of a room at Hampton Institute in such a thorough way as to command the approval of a person whose influence was worth everything to the young student at that time. Those who knew Dr. Washington when he had come to occupy a large and influential place in the world can very well understand the importance he placed upon the sweeping of a room at Hampton Institute and the influence it had upon his after success. He was a poor and friendless boy at the school, which he had reached by walking and working his way, and it was necessary to have much help from those in authority at the Institute, and this could only be had by his show of willingness to do the small things expected of him in a thorough way. It was characteristic of Dr. Washington that he paid the greatest possible attention to the smallest thing which he had to do as with the largest. He never forgot a promise and he never kept it an hour or a day after WM. PICKENS AND WHITE JUDGE DEMIRE MIGRATION (By N. A. A. C. P. Press Service.) William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Judge Blanton Fortson of Georgia are the joint authors of a debate on the northward migration of Negroes published in the November issue of "The Forum" (247 Park avenue, New York). Judge Fortson, admitting that the South is a backward part of the nation and that progress is prevented by the status of the Negro influencing every public question, blames the South's lack of progress upon the Negro's "inferiority". He claims that the South is "held back by this mass of inferior peoples", that the white man can take and is taking the Negro's place as a laborer, and that it is better for the Negro to migrate to the North for that will mean the eventual extinction of the burdensome race. Mr. Pickens points out that the migration northward has benefitted both those who have gone North and those who have remained in the South. It has also opened the eyes of the North to the fact that the race problem is nation-wide. Mr. Pickens further points out that the South did not want the Negro to migrate, even resorting to threats, false arrests and mob violence, as well as prosecution of labor agents, to hinder the Negro's going. Not only has the Negro demonstrated his capacity to do the work of the white world, says Mr. Pickens, but he is in no danger of extinction, "his color may be dissipated, but his quota of blood in the nation's veins, somewhere, will not be diminished." MADE UNIVERSITY DAILY EDITOR Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 14.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Earl Wilkins, a sophomore at the University of Minnesota, has been appointed a member of the editorial board of The Minnesota Daily, the official newspaper of the university. The other four members of the board are white students. It will be the duty of the board to write the editorials for the daily this year. Mr. Wilkins, who is a student of business administration and a resident of St. Paul, is a brother of Roy Wilkins, city editor of the Kansas City Call, and a graduate of Minnesota, 1923. The two Wilkins brothers are the only colored students ever to hold positions on the university daily. Both are members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. GOVERNMENT PLANS TO LEAVE HAITI (By the Associated Negro Press) Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Nov. 14.—Leading Haitians are incensed over the reported steps taken by President Borneo to have President Coolidge retain American soldiers in Haiti. The news is current that word was sent here to the effect that the troops would be taken from the island in the near future but that Borneo, who was put into the presidency at the instance of the American high commissioner, General Russell, has written to America with the warning that the Haitians would start fighting among themselves. Haitians declare that Borneo is afraid of losing his job should the Americans depart. Give to the Community Chest! (By T. Thomas Fortune, in The Negro World) he had promised it. He was always on time in fulfilling hos engagements. When he was at Tuskegee he gave personal attention to all of the details of the work; when he was away from the institute he had daily reports from all of the departments of the work. By regulating his life in this way people came to know that he was thorough and dependable, with the result that students and institute officials labored to do things as the principal did them. The small things of life cannot be neglected without impairing the effectiveness of the large things. Those who get the reputation for being thorough and dependable always outdistance in the race of life those who are not. Those who do not succeed, on this account, are puzzled at the success of others whom they know are not as bright and capable as they are. They even complain that there must be injustice somewhere. So there is, but it is in the person himself and not in others. And in every person there are always three persons sometimes more, who work at cross purposes and often destroy the one NEW ORLEANS N. A. A. C. P. WINS SUIT AGAINST CITY SEGREGATION ORDINANCE Decision Based on Louisville Segregation Case Win in Supreme Court, 1917. New York, Nov. 14.—A court victory has been won by the New Orleans branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the segregation ordinance enacted Sept. 18, 1924, by the City of New Orleans. The victory, according to the decision rendered by Judge Hugh S. Cage, of the civil district court, is based upon the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in the Louisville Segregation case, won by the N. A. A. C. P. in 1917. G. W. Lucas, president of the New Orleans branch of the N. A. A. C. P., writes to the national office: "Our people are very much encouraged and it is possible that this matter will be settled without going to the Supreme Court of the United States. However, we are prepared to go any distance. We are waiting on another arrest and then our attorneys plan on taking it immediately into the federal court as they say it can be done." The present victory is won in the case of Joseph W. Tyler, a white man, who sought to enjoin Ben Harmon, a Negro, from making over his single cottage into a double house for the purpose of renting the addition to colored people. Judge Cage's decision, as quoted in part by a local white newspaper, in referring to the New Orleans segregation ordinance, states: "I cannot find that the ordinance in question differs from the similar Kentucky ordinance on which an opinion was handed down reversing the decision of the Kentucky court of appeals, and I am forced to bow to that decision and hold the ordinance a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment." Judge Cage is quoted as expressing himself out of sympathy with the decision he was forced, by the prior N. A. A. C. P. victory to render. The segregation law declared invalid in New Orleans, had provided that neither whites nor Negroes might live in a district inhabited by the other group, without the express consent of a majority of the residents of either color. PLAYERS PLEASE PATRONS (By the Associated Negro Press) Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 14.—Members of four local churches combined to fill the city auditorium this week at a rendition of "Damon and Pythias" under the direction of Richard B. Harrison, famous dramatic reader. The play was received with much acclaim by the audience and many of the local members of the cast measured up to the high standard set by Mr. Harrison as Damon. LEAVES BEQUEST TO MEHARRY (By the Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 14.—The will of the late Dr. George W. Hubbard, former president of Meharry Medical College, provides that the principal of $10,000 trust fund left to a niece revert to Meharry at the death of the niece and that the remainder of his estate after the deduction of the $10,000 trust fund and sundry smaller bequests, also go to the institution. person responsible for the thought and words and acts of the others. This principle of human life is not generally understood, although most of us are interfered with from within and thwarted of our desires from without and not understanding it all in the least. "Ye be men and brethren." That applies to each of us in his individual person. The Negro people have much to learn in the matter of caring properly for the small things that make for the big things; for the thoroughness and dependability that make for character and respectability; for time, which is precious and should not be frittered away, and for promises, which are binding and cannot safely be ignored. We all need self-examination in this matter, because we all want to have our own self-respect, and we cannot have it unless we so shape our conduct as to have the respect of our neighbors; we all want to succeed, and we cannot do so unless we learn to care for the small things that make for the large things. Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves. Bring up a child in the way it should go and when it becomes a man it will go as it should. ATLANTA SEGREGATION DEFEATED ON BASIS OF LOUISVILLE CASE Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14—A section of Atlanta's zoning ordinance which would segregate white and colored residents, has been declared unconstitutional on the basis of the victory won before the U. S. Supreme Court in the Louisville Segregation Case in 1917 by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. On October 17, the Supreme Court at Atlanta decided that Luther Crittle, a Negro, could not be evicted by city officials from property he had bought in a "white" residential section. The Georgia court in rescribing its decision, referred to the following ruling in a similar case: "A city ordinance forbidding colored persons from occupying houses as residences, or places of abode, or public assembly, on blocks where the majority of houses are occupied by white persons, and in like manner forbidding white persons when the conditions are reversed, and which bases the interdiction upon color and nothing more, passes the legitimate bounds of police power and invades the civil rights to acquire, enjoy and use property, which is guaranteed in equal measure to all citizens, white or colored, by the Fourteenth Amendment." It is on this ground that the N. A. A. C. P. and associated individuals and groups are fighting segregation ordinances recently passed by the Louisiana state legislature and by the City of New Orleans. MEXICO TO HAVE TUSKEGEE (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Nov. 14—General Plutarco Elias Calles, president-elect of Mexico plans to use Hampton and Tuskegee institutes as models in establishing similar schools in his country, the "Tiger of Sonora" declared before leaving here for Washington. President Calles, while in New York, conferred with officials of the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund, with headquarters at 5 Madden Lane, on the methods employed at the two American institutes. Following the conference he issued the following statement: "It is my earnest hope as president of Mexico to aid in the introduction of a system of education which may raise the masses of the Mexican people. I am particularly impressed with what I have learned of the two great schools in the south, Hampton and Tuskegee. "Their practical system of education with special reference to character building and fitting men to be farmers and effective teachers appeals to me strongly. I have heard with great interest of the way the Hampton-Tuskegee idea is being adopted in other parts of the world, and I hope before long to see Mexico have its Hampton and Tuskegee also." The General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation recently gave striking recognition of the importance of the work being done at Hampton and Tuskegee by pledging $1,000,000 toward a new $5,000,000 endowment fund for the two schools.

"Give Enough For All" Space Contributed by The Monitor Whole Number 488 BARS COLORED NURSES Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 14.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Dr. N. F. Mossell, director of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School for Nurses, stated in a letter to the governor of this state that the Post-Graduate School for Nurses at the University of Pennsylvania refused the admittance of a nurse, who desired to take a special course in operating room technique. Dr. George H. Mecker, manager of the graduate school of medicine of the university hospital, denied the statement of Dr. Mossell. Dr. Mossell stated that after many telephone conversations with the head of the post-graduate school Mrs. Helene Herman, at the Polyclinic hospital, and Miss Lillian Clayton, chairman of the state board, "we were finally informed that no colored graduate nurse could be admitted to the post-graduate school of the University of Pennsylvania. However, such is the case and Dr. Mossell's letter to the governor revealed the sad state of affairs in this city concerning people of color. JAMAICANS TRY TO BAR CHINESE (By the Associated Negro Press) Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 14.—Native Jamaicans, through the Jamaican Imperial Association, are making representations to the governor asking that Chinese and Syrians be excluded from the island because of the trade competition of the orientals.

This is the slogan for the Community Chest campaign which will begin Wednesday morning, November 19, to collect $402,000 for the twenty-nine welfare organizations which take care of the less fortunate families of Omaha. Committees numbering 2,500 men and women will start out Wednesday morning and during the following week they expect to see every person in Omaha for a contribution. The one big drive, just like last year, when $400,000 was collected by a similar plan, will take the place of all tag days and other drives which used to be held every week in former years. Cripples, orphans, aged persons, homeless girls, disabled soldiers and helpless babies will be made happy during 1925 through the Community Chest. The organizations which are supported by the fund are: College of Omaha Colored Old Folks' Home Colored Commercial Club Employment Department American Red Cross Associated Charities Bethlehem Children's Home Boy Scouts of America Camp Fire Girls Child Savings Institute Christ Child Society City Mission Council of Americanization Creche Day Nursery Disabled American Veterans of the World War House of Hope Men's Service League for Boys Nazareth Home Nebraska Children's Home Society Nebraska Humane Society Nursery Committee of the Salvation Army Home Old People's Home Omaha Social Settlement Salvation Army, Four Divisions Scandinavian Y.

"Give a day's pay", asks Harley Conant, noted hotel owner who is chairman of the general committee. A contribution of $10, for instance, divided among the twenty-nine welfare organizations, means 33 cents for each organization.

When flown at half-staff, the Flag should be hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position; but before lowering the Flag for the day it should be raised again to the peak. By half-staff is meant hauling down the flag to one-half the distance between the top and the bottom of the staff. If local conditions require, divergence from this position is permissible. On Memorial Day, May 30th, the Flag is displayed at half-staff from sunrise until noon and at midnight from sunset until noon and the Flag is nation lives, and the Flag is the symbol of the living nation. 13.

Washington.—A new high record for loading freight cars, with its accompanying indication of business conditions, was made by American railroads during the week ended October 18. During that week 1,102,336 cars were loaded with revenue freight, exceeding by more than 8,000 cars the previous high record of 1923. On one day alone, October 15, the railroads moved 1,030,211 cars, both loaded and empty, which if made up into one solid train would have reached from New York to San Francisco and return and then back to Omaha. In a report issued recently, the American Railway association declares that while the weekly records of American railroading were being surpassed, the movement of freight was carried on without congestion or car shortage, and that there are 100,000 serviceable freight cars and 5,400 locomotives in surplus reserve. Spend Much for Equipment. The railroads, the report says, were enabled to make the new record because of their large expenditures for equipment and improvements; because of improved car distribution and because of the growing efficiency of the regional shippers' advisory boards having memberships representing all phases of agricultural and industrial production. "Record-breaking grain crops have been moved without a single reported car shortage from the western states," says the report. "The California perishable producers heretofore have been confronted with periodical car shortages, but this year there was no shortage of refrigerator equipment." Other Records Established. In addition to the new high record for movement of revenue freight during the week ended October 18, the railroads made other new records. More cars were loaded with miscellaneous freight; more cars were loaded with live stock and the new record was made for cars in movement on a single day. Leading of grain and grain products for the same comparative period were second only to the high record made two weeks earlier. Coal showed a small decrease; merchandise and small lots, and forest products showed an increase over a year ago, but ore and coke showed a decrease. All classes showed increases over the corresponding week two years ago, except in the eastern district. Hunter Capitalizes Find Made on Quest for Quail Lake Charles, La.—Tradition having it that a burro once kicked up a gold mine in the Rocky mountains, and that the copper deposits in the Southwest were found in a similar manner, folks in this section were not so greatly surprised when it developed that Louisiana's newest oil field was discovered by a quail hunter. W. W. Lemoine, a local business man, who, during the open season, passes as much time in the fields as he does in his office, for years has been an inveterate prospector for oil, and about half his time on hunting trips was "wasted" exploring woods and marshes for traces of the "black gold." Lemoline went hunting along Bagdad bayon, near here, one fine day three years ago, and came upon one Tillman, a negro recluse. The usual topic of conversation with Lemoline was oil, and he soon reached the subject. Tillman knew of no oil, but he did know where there was gas. The upshot was that Lemoline agreed to give Tillman an annuity of $1,800 a year if he would show him where it was, and if anything came of it. Tillman led Lemoline straight across the country to Indian bayon, only a few miles from here, and there, in the edge of the marsh was the negro's "gas." Lemoline touched a match to it, and it burned. Keeping his knowledge secret, Lemoline tied up 4,000 acres of land on leases, and an oil concern agreed to test the field. Two wells were sunk without result, and then the third brought in a gusher. The usual horde has moved in, machinery and material for more wells and tanks are being transported to the field by the trainload. Britons Fight to Save Historical Monuments London.-Modernizing English towns at the expense of historical monuments is being condemned throughout the country by civic societies and persons interested in keeping together the glory that was England's. The post-war unrest is particularly shown in smaller towns, where the authorities are destroying buildings and other historical monuments to make wide roads, parks and other necessities of modern municipal planning. The secretary of the society for the protection of ancient buildings has addressed a protest to the prime minister and will seek to have a bill against allowing the destruction brought before parliament. Several famous buildings have been destroyed during the last year, it is stated in the letter to the premier, including the Sixteenth century court-house at Barking. The society is also endeavoring to limit the destruction of ancient bridges which is going on over the country to meet the needs of the present-day heavy traffic. CHINA'S FIGHTS MAY OPEN TERRIBLE WAR CHINA'S FIGHTS MAY OPEN TERRIBLE WAR Sleeping Giant Is Believed to Be Awakening. Washington, D. C.—After more than a decade of petty political blickering over the control of China the whole country now bids fair to break out in war to determine if unification can be effected by conquest. From Peking, the ancient capital in the north, to Canton, the vast river city in the south, troops are afoot. There are marchings and counter-marchings and the sound of firing is heard in many places, chiefly along a 25-mile front in the vicinity of Shanghai. Gen. Chi Hsieh-yuan, anfu-tuchan or military governor of the province of Kiangsu, has fastly declared that the time has come when, if China is to be unified again into one great nation, it must be done by the sword. Whether the war which now is in progress will, in fact, be fought out to so bitter an issue or whether it will in a few months break up into minor conflicts between rival provincial governors remains to be seen. The immediate fact is that a million men are under arms. The trouble started over the rivalry of two provincial governors. The city of Shanghai, with well over a million population, is the New York of China. It is the great port of foreign trade. Geographically it lies in the province of Klangsu. It is commanded by Gen. Ho Feng-lin, the defense commissioner. To the southward of the province of Klangsu and the city of Shanghai lies the important province of Cheklai. Its military governor is Gen. Lu Yungshi. Although the city is outside his province he claims control over Shanghai. The defense commissioner is friendly to him and admits his claim. Elected to New York. The situation may be put into American terms as follows: New York city lies in New York state. Connecticut is just over the border. The governor of Connecticut claims the right to rule and tax New York city. The mayor of New York city is willing to side with the governor of Connecticut. The governor of New York decides he will, by force, take charge of the city and oust the mayor. That is the immediate situation, but what makes the situation one of world importance is that larger factors are entering. Marshal Tsao Kun is president of China with his capital at the ancient imperial city of Peking. His greatest general is Marshal Wu Pei Wu who, in reality, is the stronger man of the two and dominates the president. These two are taking the side of the governor of Klangsu who is attempting to take Shanghai. This might be compared to the president of the United States taking the side of the governor of New York in the imaginary American case being used as a parallel. But China occupies a position now somewhat similar to that in this country at the time of the Civil war. South China has seceded from the rest of the country and has set up the South China republic, with Dr. Sun Yat Sen at its head. He makes his capital at the great city of Canton. He has taken sides with the defense commissioner of Shanghai and the governor of Chekling. This may be compared to the President of the southern Confederacy at the time of the Civil war taking sides with the governor of Connecticut in the imaginary American comparison. Now, in addition, there is far to the north the great Marshal Chang, the dictator of Manchuria and eastern Mongolia. He has taken the side of the governor of Chiang. This might be compared to the governor of Michigan, in our imaginary case, joining with the governor of Connecticut. So there exists the alignment: President Tsao Kun, Marshal Wu Pel Fu and Governor Chi of Kiangsu on one side with President Sun Yat Sen, Marshal Chang, Governor Lu and the defense commissioner of Shanghai, Ho, on the other. General Believed a Traitor. There is another highly interesting military factor. General Feng is commander, of the garrison of Peking. While nominally under President Tsao and Marshal Wu he is strongly suspected of having sympathies with the other side. At any moment he may throw his strength to it. From 800,000 to 1,000,000 men are likely to participate in this war. The North China side apparently has the superiority in numbers. Marshal Wu Pei Fu, it is estimated, commands 830,000 men. General Feng, supposedly his ally, has 30,000, and General Chi where near 100,000; Marshal Chang has about 150,000; Doctor Sun, 130,000; Governor Lu about 50,000, and the Shanghai commissioner a garrison of some thousands. Blasphemers' Fines Pay Durham, England.—Fines collected from blasphemers have paid for a handsome clubhouse opening recently at Newbrancepeth, a Durham colliery village. The club was first suggested at a dance, where some men's "language" caused offense to a group of miners, who agreed, there and then, to stop swearing and to fine themselves if they broke their promise. They formed the nonswearing club to receive the fines, and, strange to relate, new members were added with surprising rapidity. Everybody kept a sharp ear out for blasphemers, who were called upon frequently to pay fines, and the infant club's exchequer soon waxed prosperous.
