One girl who is something of a traveler has for her trunk a large sheet of blue muslin. This is put in the bottom of the trunk before the packing is started. When everything is in it is folded over the top of the clothes and firmly pinned with safety pins. With this precaution the girl is sure to find her garments as smooth at the end of a trip as at the start. Another of her packing methods is to stow in the hatbox of the trunk all the loose tissue paper that comes to the house. This does away with a mad search for tissue paper when packing is to be done. Thompson and Thompson are in reality the hustlers of hustlers in the clothing line and their stock is up to date in style and shades. Press. BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED IN UGUST 19, 1911. INBRIBED BY GAIN." 11. VOL. 30. NO. 24 rature A Mob Of Cowards Anecdotal Literature When we are on a ship and another one passes us, we think that it is sailing more swiftly than we, though both are sailing at the same rate. So in life we see that others are getting older, but do not number our own days. We see snowflakes here and there upon their once raven locks, but perhaps do not notice that curs are clearly prophetic of coming winter. Mr. Brown is getting quite the old man. No doubt; but you are moving onward too. Both sailing through life at the same rate. Is it not time, then, that we all take observations, and find our life's latitude and longitude? At any rate it were weil to know what port we are bound for. August Belmont, at a dinner of Saratoga, praised the sensible towns of New England. "But some of them," he added, "are a little too primitive. I remember a story about the primitive town of Rockford. This town had a rough bathing establishment with a shower bath. A lady visitor one day entered the bath house, braced herself and pulled the rope, but no shower followed. She gave the rope another tug, when the grusf voice of the sailor proprietor sounded from aloft. 'S and a pint more to the nor east, mum, if you want to get the full force." And the horrified lady, looking up, saw the old sailor frowning impatiently through a hole in the ceiling, and tilting a barrel of sea water for the shower. Luther Burbark, the plent wizard, at a dinner at Santa Rosa, praised California as a winter and summer resort. "Besides our superb climate and grand scenery," ended Mr. Burbank, "there is the further advantages of our reasonable prices. There are no Monte Carlo prices here!" At a Monte Carlo hotel, the proprietor one day said to the clerk, Has Lord Lottus, room 373, received his bill yet? Yes sir, said the clerk, I sent it up to him an hour ago. "Strange! missed the proprietor as I pressed his door just now. I heard him sirging." H. Chandler Egan, the golf champion, said of a poor player on the Wheaton links. The other day he had a rather disagreeable encering sort of a caddie. He approached the third hole fairly well, but couldn't hole the ball. After half a dozen wretched and unsuccessful putts, he turned to his encering caddie and said: "Well, what am I to do anyway?" Oh, said the caddie, "get down on your knees and blow it in."

SPARKS NO. 24 The lynching of the Negro at Coatesville was a particularly horrible and uncalled for outbreak of mob violence. The victim was under arrest and was sure of punishment unless he could prove that he had killed the special officer in self-defence. He had, moreover, been so frightened by the crowd that he had attempted suicide, and it was a wounded man on a hospital cot that the lynchers took away to burn. The mob exhibited its flandish temper still further by thrusting its victim back into the flames when the fire had loosened his bonds. The crime, if the Negro was guilty of any crime, was not one that afforded any excuse for mob law. The lynching is a disgrace to the local community, and it will be a disgrace to the State of Pennsylvania if its perpetrators are not severely punished. Fortunately, Pennsylvania has an unusually good reputation among the states for the maintenance of order, earned in dealing with the difficult problem presented by the rough and disorderly element in its mining regions. The State Constabulary is a model force of state police, an unusually efficient body of men. Its existence has tended to develop Pennsylvania's pride in the enforcement of law and order, and there is hope that this outbreak will be duly punished. The problem of punishing a mob or its leaders is peculiarly difficult, but if the lynching of Negroes is to be prevented in the North it will not do to look upon such occurrences as inevitable and deplorable, but beyond the reach of criminal law. No real blow will be dealt to lynching until the mob is taught by experience that it faces certain punishment if it takes the law into its own hands. It is success and immunity from punishment that encourage lynching. The beating back of mobs bent on murder with a nail of bullets fired by the officers whose duty it is to protect prisoners and the filling of the jails with those who participate in successful lynchings would do more to check the mob spirit than all the preaching and deploring in the world. Pennsylvania has an opportunity to lead the way in the vindication of law and order.—New York Tribune. those who can go ahead alone. Some people never pray over their debts till they see the Sheriff coming. The nail of a good precept always needs the hammer of practice to drive it in.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 19 1911 It is nice to go to pic nics, but those who enjoy them, should also remember that there is a time coming when we will all need an abundance of warmth, plenty to eat and good warm clothes and strong shoes. Let us, as Negroes, quit this eternal and disastrous internal warfare among ourselves, and train our guns upon the common enemy, the one who is without, and who is continually laboring that our existence in this county might be made more and more tortuous. President Taft is exercising the veto power with a vengeance this week, and while some are in full accord with his views relative to the Free Wool, and Arizona and New Mexico Statehood bills, there are thousands who hold an exactly opposite view. For our part, we shall bide our time, and await the results, which will show whether or not Mr. Taft's wisdom is greater than that of the opponents of his theories, or prove the conclusions which he now arrives at to be erroneous in their entirety, as well as disastrous to all who are affected by them. The National Medical Association begins its annual session at Hampton, Virginia, on Monday, August 22nd. It is a fine organization, and numbers among its membership some of the finest physicians and surgeons in this country. Its work along the line of scientific research and its therapeutic value to the Negro race are inestimable. Its various divisions are managed by experts, men who value the purity of the medical profession above everything else, and who are accomplishing results that are little short of marvelous, and which would make the average layman open his eyes wide were he to realize what this learned body of medical men are doing for the elevation and perpetuation of the race to which we belong. Rev. Charles E. Young, one of the oldest professors in point of service at Morgan College, Baltimore, Md., and a scholarly christian gentleman, preached at Mount Zion Methodist Episcopal Church on Sunday night last. His portrayal of conditions in ancient and modern times was very enlightening, his advice to the young and old was as pure as gold, his remarks anent our "division of the human race" would admit of no possible criticism, and taken from start to finish, the sermon was one which could not do other than delight and inform the most exacting person. Such men as Dr. Young are of the sort that will make the world better, because of their having lived in it; for their exemplary deeds and noble acts stand out as real monuments to their true worth. Aside from his ability as a preacher, Dr. Young has been a great educator of colored youth in Morgan College, and his remarks relative to that widely known institution and the advantages it offers to young colored men and women were enjoyed by the large Dr. George W. Baylis, a graduate of the Boston College of Physicians and Surgeons, is in our city and will locate here. For the present he will maintain an office at Mrs. Georgiana Sampson's, on Charles Street, where he will be glad to see anyone in need of his services. From what we know of him, it is an honest opinion with us that persons consulting and employing Dr. Baylis will find him expert as a diagnostician, as well as skillful as a practitioner. Added to his professional ability, Dr. Baylis is a gentleman of pleasing appearance, and is rapidly becoming known to the Martinsburg public. We wish him success in his new field of labor, and assure all who read these lines that if he does not achieve it, the blame therefor will not be laid to any dereliction of duty on his part. In re-electing Prof. L. O. Wilson of Weston, as Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of West Virginia, that order made no mistake. When a man like Grand Chancellor Wilson, with his great ability and his superior constructive method, is at the head of so important an organization as the Pythians, it is a proper show of wisdom to keep him there, in consequence of which he is rendered more able to increase the power of the order and exhibit to his fellows what wise management of any large body of men is capable of accomplishing. Here's our congratulation on your deserved honor, Mr. Wilson, and there is no doubt in our mind but what you will faithfully perform the trust reposed in you, and make Pythias in better known in West Virginia than ever before. The burning of the Negro Zich. Walker, at Contesville, Pennsylvania, on last Sunday night, was one of the most revolting and brutal crimes in the criminal history of the United States. It is true that Walker was charged with a crime, the killing of a popular special policeman, but there was no need of a foul recourse to murder to pay for a supposed murder, because there was neither opportunity nor possibility of Walker escaping, he being held in a hospital, bound to a cot, with several bullet wounds in his body, and was guarded by a policeman, yet these American savages were so thirsty for the blood of their terrified victim, that they carried him and the cot on which he was lying, and threw man and bed into the fire. Through some agency, superhuman, we guess, the poor Negr rose from the engulfing fire, and ran a short distance, only to be burled back into the fire by scores of willing bands, where his blistered and bullet punctured body was left to roast like a piece of beef. Just think of such devilish savagery and this too, not in the Fiji Islands, not in the Southland, but in the great state of Pennsylvania, a commonwealth which boasts its schools, its churches, its colleges, and a civilization second to none. After due reflection, we have arrived at the conclusion that there is something radically wrong as regards the enforcement of law and order in this whole country, and unless something is done to arrest the campaign of murder, anarchy and bloodshed that holds full away in America, "the land of the free, and home of the brave," an awakening will occur one of these days that will be appalling in its severity, and bloody as can be in its method of procedure. The indictment of a number of the prominent members of the Grand United Order True Reformers, by the Grand Jury of the Hustings Court, in Richmond, Virginia, is as it ought to be. Talk about frenzied finance! Well, if the high officials of the True Reformer organization haven't been so, and they having been thereby guilty of victimizing hundreds and thousands of poor and ignorant men, women and children, it is but just and right that they not only be indicted, but tried, convicted and sent to the penitentiary. When shrewd men like Hall, Taylor and Holmes take advantage of poor, credulous Negroes, and financially ruin them, they should be severely punished, because their salaries were plenty large enough to keep up their individual expenses, and then leave them a nice surplus. No more fitting trioute could be paid to the memory of the late lamented Robert T. Motts, than for a handsome and costly monument to be erected in his honor. He was, in addition to being the pioneer theatrical promoter, manager and owner among Negroes in this country, an individual of whom any race might well be proud, and a Chicagoan who made himself known in the city of his adoption by his thrift, economy and keen business sagacity. He was a veritable genius, and in many ways his is an example which is worthy of emulation by young Negroes everywhere. It is men of the Motts class who show to the world that Negroes are capable of the same development that are white men when given an equal opportunity with them. Yes, let a monument to the proprietor of the original Pekin be erected, and it should be built in the same magnificent way that "Bob" Motts was wont to build when he lived and did things. Coatesville Upon the town treasurer's book, in Oxford, England, appears this item: For three loads of wood, one load of faggots, one post, two chains and staples to burn Ridley, and Latimer, £1—5s 1d. This was a little over three centuries ago. In Coatesville, Pennsylvania, in 1911, a state where "brotherly love is said to abide, this form of savagery and barbarism is practiced by white men, who gather in thousands, wearing masks, to show that they are cowards as well as brutes in human form, to burn and torture a sick and helpless and defenceless Negro criminal, who had been apprehended by the law for his crime. The difference between the Savages who burned Ridley and Latimer, and those who recently burned the Negro Walker, in Coatesville, Penna., is just a little over three hundred years, and it shows that the white man is still at heart a Savage, still as bloodthirsty and vengeful, still as intolerant and malignant; still as indifferent to the consequences of crime as he was 300 years ago. His thin veneer of civilization only needs to be scratched to reveal his true character, his vicious tendencies, his inattainable race hatreds, his villianous and cowardly tactics. 20 000 of them gather by night under the cover of darkness and their masks, to put one sick Negro to death and such a death! Tortured by the flames, beaten back at each attempt he made to escape them the criminal Negro becomes a martyr to Anglo-Saxon Barbarism and fiendishness. Pennsylvania is disgraced forever in the eyes of the world, and wherever I can find an opening in a foreign newspaper, I will point out Coatesville, Pa., as the one spot in "civilized, christianized" America where its best white citizens aided and abetted by its Chief of Police led a mob, on Sunday night while half of the town's people were making their ascriptions to the Father of us all, that committee BLOODY MURDER, and danced with ghouliab glee around the charred remains of its victim. In the words of Bobby Burns: Ye hypocrites are these your pranks To murder men and give God thanks? For shame give o'er. proceed no further God won't accept your thanks for murder. The Coatesville barbarity will click to this Nation closer than Nineus child. Reminds us of your shame! The white man's liberty in type Stands blazoned by your stars But what's the meaning of your stripes? They mean your Negro-scars." As Sojourner Truth said to Frederick Douglass, "God is not dead." His justice does not sleep. America is staring up for itself more trouble and vexation of spirit than it realizes. There is a law of compensation and it COMPENSATES. Bruce Grit: Yonkere, New York.
