Young Women Ahead Of Youths On hearing a speech made by one of the prominent colored doctors of this city, my mind has been haunted by those facts be uttered, ever since. Hespoke on the scarcity of Negro husbands for Negro girls, and brought out some interesting and acute facts that should be given due and just consideration by every Negro boy and girl. The doctor exemplified the refined wife with the unpolished husband, the lack of interest taken by young men in social affairs, where the intermingling of the two sexes were required. Aleo, he spoke of the girl who is classed high, that associates with the young man who has been ostracised from society circles for some immoral act, then being an associate of our best girls. The doctor made some timely remarks. The girl, on a whole, is being educated and trained for the various essentials of life, while the boy with the same chances, is neglecting his. In the many colleges and public schools of the United States for Negroes, the girl outnumbers the boy almost 3 to 1. The boy of today varies greatly from those of yesterday. He is no longer the chaste and almost unde- filed being of the past, but his sensee have turned (just a few good ones) to rowdiness, bad associates, unclean habits, that are shortening his life, ruining him morally, mentally and physically. What sort of a husband would one of these inert, insignifi cant beings make for a husband for one of our best girls? This grave question stares everyone in the face. Today we see boys who should be in school, lounging around saloons, pool halls, roving the slums and attaching themselves to the very worst habits. What sort of husbands will they be? There should be as much interest taken in the boy as there is in the girl, for in their union the outcome may be regretted. We should use every effort in persuading the young man to toe the mark, socially with the girl, for social intermingling will be one of the primary factors in aiding the young man to realize the required qualities to enter upon marriage life. It does not take the seer to see the outcome of this murky social condition that is now existing. We must spring a remedy or the worst will remain at hand. Palestine [Tex.] Plaindealer. REMAINS AS INTERNE Despite the fact that five young women doctors, internes at the New England Hospital for Women and Children in Dimock street, Roxbury, Massachusetts, had protested bitterly, even going so far as to send in their resignations, Dr. Melissa Thompson, a young Negro woman of South Carolina, is installed in the maternity ward of that institution. Three of the protesting internes have left the institution. Urged by leaders of her race and by others who viewed the original protests as the result of prejudice, Dr. Thompson today is quietly attending to her duties in the Rox- SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, bury hospital more in behalf of people of her own color than from any personal desire. The internees still remaining at the hospital today declared their intention of submitting quietly to the decision of the board of directors of the institution and allowing events to shape themselves. CARUSO SEEKS A MIRACLE Despairing of regaining his lost voice through human agency, Enrico Caruso will seek cure through a miracle of St. Januarius. Should he receive the benefit he piously hopes for he will offer a silver bust of himself to St. Januarius. Ciffariello, a Neapolitan sculptor, who obtained notoriety through his trial for wife murder (of which crime he was acquitted), recently exhibited in Florence a plaster bust of Caruso. This was considered a striking likeness of the singer, and the sculptor told a friend he intended to have it cast in bronze. Recently, however, Ciffariello recieved a letter from Caruso, in New York, ordering the bust to be cast in solid silver, regardless of expense. In his letter the famous tenor explained that he intended to give the statue as a votive offering to the saint through whose intercession he hopes to recover his lost voice. He is said to be firmly convinced that the only effective remedy for his throat trouble lies in the miraculous power of St. Januarius, whose blood, preserved in a glass vial in the Naples Cathedral, is said to boil twice a year, when the saint's feast is celebrated, May 9 and September 19 Caruso, it is reported, intends personally to witness the miracle of the boiling blood, and if he is cured will offer the silver bust, to be placed in a conspicuous position on the saint's shrine. THIS LADY A HEROINE! On boarding a West Adams Street car a few days ago I sat in the front open end of the car and continued to smoke my cigar. I occupied a seat by an ordinary looking white man. When he realized he was sitting by a Negro he arose from his seat and said: "We don't ride with niggers in Texas." This, of course, embarrassed me for a few moments, when suddenly a white woman of about forty-five years of age asked me to move over, that she might share the seat with me, and when she had comfortably seated herself another narrow minded white man touched the lady on the shoulder and said. "I will exchange seats with you." Thank you," she said, "this seat is all right." "We don't allow darkies to ride with white women in my country," he replied." The lady then raised her head and replied gently: "I am well acquainted with the colored people, and I will trust them further than I will you." This was a blow to the Texas friend and he got off the car at the next corner.—A. D. Lacey, of Los Angeles California, in The Richmond, Virginia, Planet. Miss Susan Fowler, celebrated for many years as the original bloomer woman, died in Vineland, New Jersey the other day aged eighty seven years. For more than sixty seven years she wore trousers instead of skirts. Up until a few years ago she cultivated her farm, near Vineeland, herself. Vest's Tribute To The Dog One of the most eloquent tributes ever paid to a dog was delivered by the late Senator Vest, of Missouri, some years ago. He was attending court in a country town, and while waiting for the trial of a case in which he was interested, was urged by the attorneys in a dog case to help them out. Voluminous evidence, was introduced to show that the defendant had shot the dog in malice, while other evidence went to show that the dog had attacked defendant. Vest took no part in the trial and was not disposed to speak. The attorneys, however, urged him to speak. Being thus urged, he arose, scanned the face of each juryman for a moment, and said: "Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he had reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. "The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, and in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in the encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the" sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends depart, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens. "If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and the body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the grave side will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death." Then Vest sat down. He had spoken in a low voice, without a gesture. He made no reference to the evidence or the merits of the case. When he finished judge and jury were wiping their eyes. The jury filed out, but soon entered with a verdict of $500 for the plaintiff. Press. Y INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED B MAY 6, 1911.

A preacher liberal enough to be expressive and conservative enough to be safe. A preacher who has something to say and knows how to say it. A preacher who knows when he has said all he needs to say on the occasion. A preacher who believes in God's divine word as the infallible guide. A preacher who knows Jesus Christ and will point men to him. A pastor who will call on his people, but not bore them with his presence. A pastor who thinks more of the flock than he does of the fleece. A choir that will sing from the heart and sit still during the sermon. The sunny, cheerful folk who arrive on time end take part in the service. A sexton who watches the ther mometer and the ventilation. A sexton who is willing to listen to the suggestions of the preacher. An usher who can show you to your seat without parading himself before the audience. People willing to watch, work and wait and who do not prove their salvation by noise. A treasurer who can keep his accounts straight and pay bills promptly. A man who is willing to do small jobs out of sight of the crowd. Young men who do not feel humiliated if found in the act of worship. Parents who believe in the salvation of their children and who pray for it. Members who crucify themselves for the glory of God and the good of his cause. People who know that they have passed from death unto life because they love the brethren. 12 INCH GUNS DO DAMAGE The killing of many unhatched chickens and hundreds of hardshell crabs by the big inch guns of the battleship New Hampshire when they sank the old battleship San Marcos in Tangier Sound, Cheesapeake Bay, in the recent naval experiment, has caused farmers and crab packers of the eastern shore of Virginia and Maryland to protest against further similar tests. It is declared that for a radius of twenty five miles about Tangier Sound chickens about to be hatched, as well as hardshell crabs packed for shipment to Northern markete, were killed by the heavy concussions. MAUD S. IS SHOT. Maud S., once the greatest trotter, was shot recently in Springfield, Kentucky in accordance with the will of George M Stearns, owner at the time of his death. Stearns asked that Maud S. be killed when it became apparent the mare did not enjoy living. She was 35 years old and blind. Maud S. trotted a mile in 2:08 $ \frac{3}{4} $ to a high wheel sulky on the old Glenville track twenty six years ago. VOL. 30. Anecdotal Literature Anecdotal Literature An infidel who was well educated and could confound many a thoughtless person by his sophistical reasoning on religion, one day said to his neighbor, "I did today what I have not done for many a day." "What caused you," said his neighbor "to do such an unusual thing?" "Why," replied the infidel, 'I wept on seeing the children of yonder Orphan School pass by; and the thought occurred to me. If religion had done nothing more for mankind, it had at least provided for the introduction of these Orphans into respectable situations in life." A NUT SAVED A LIFE. A nut once saved the life of a German Count. A plot had been laid to murder him, and the assassin lay hid in the castle through the day. Before going to bed the count drew some things from his pocket, among which there happened to be a nut which fell on the floor, but was not noticed by the count. That night the murderer entered the bed room, and stepped on the nut, which, in breaking, cracked loud enough to waken the count, and frightened the murderer away. A REFLECTION. James Wilson, the Secretary of Agriculture, said of a cook book issued by his department: "The women will appreciate this book. As for men——." He smiled and resumed,—"In a bookshop the other day I said to the salesman: I suppose you sell a lot of cook books here." "Thousands, sir," he replied. "Women appreciate a good cook book," said Wilson. "Oh, it isn't the women that buy them," said the saleeman; "It's their husbands." A HIGHLAND FISHERMAN. Two fisherman were mending their nets on board their vessel near the shore of Scotland, when a sudden equall upset their boat. One of them could not swim, and the only oar which floated was caught by him who could swim. His sinking companion cried, "Oh, my poor wife and children, they must starve nowl" "Save yourself, I will risk my life for their sake," said the other, thrusting the oar under the arm of the drowning man. He committed himself instantly to the deep, expecting to perish for the safety of his companion. That moment the boat struck bottom, and both were enabled to keep afloat till they were picked up. Surely this anecdote should tend to impress on the mind the too much neglected duty of "brotherly kindness." SPARKS. Drink injures externally, internally, and externally.
