"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWKEL BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer ESTABLISHED 1882 The Negro And The M. E Church. THE "FREE VOTE" POLICY OF THE M. E. CHURCH AND THE COLORED MEMBERS. Knowing their rights and privileges as stated by the several General Conferences, knowing their special need among their own people, knowing their "free vote" policy was still defeating their election and the aim of the church, the colored members made special efforts thru it to have white ministers enough to vote with them to elect some colored minister bishop, but every time they secured just enough to not elect their man. The time finally came when the "free vote" policy could no longer defeat the righteous purpose of the church and deprive the colored ministers of their rights as stated by the General Conference without exposing its meanness. So the talk about and the expectation of electing ministers of any tribe, race, or nation to the episcopacy by the "free vote" policy ceases, and the General Conference begins to reverse itself by talking about "the need of such an officer among the people of African descent." What the General Conference said in 1892 was not a subject of legislation, but of "free votes" is soon to become a subject of legislation, by which the character of bishops is to be changed from unlimited to limited, thus giving the church two kinds of bishops instead of one kind. Since 1900 we have had amendments and amendments, and legislation has so fixed it that the work abroad is cared for, but legislation has obled to fix it so that "such an officer among the people of African descent can be elected." Therefore, thus far we see that both the "free vote' and the legislative policy have failed to give us what the General Conference in 1892 said was our rights and privileges. Suppose we do not get colored shops of any kind in either way that then is to be done? The church will do us wrong in deny- ing us what she said was our rights in 1892. All ministers are entitled to all rights and privileges alike. Even if the amendments are passed and we are given limited bishops, we will have a part only of what it said was our rights in 1892. The church is now proposing to reverse itself on both the manner and on the kind of bishops secured. But we will be willing to accept them on this race basis and wait till the church can get back to its equitable and Christian basis of 1892, then we can secure them in the right way. We can secede, but seceding will not secure for us what we want. What we want is on the inside and not on the outside. If we secede because of illtreatment, that will not make it right. Two wrongs never make right. Let us bear the wrong and wait for the right to be done as it surely will. When the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Supreme Court of the U. S. can respectively nullify a segregation law and a Grandfather Clause, it will not be long before the M. E. Church will comply with what it said was right in 1892. Sylvester H. Norwood, Baltimore, Md. The only British civilian interned in the whole length and breadth of Hungary is a Negro by the name of Sam Thomson, who would have escaped this distinction if he had not run out of money and the chance of a job. Thomson was visited some days ago by T. D. M. Card za, of the American embassy in Vienna, who thereupon sent the information on through diplomatic channels to London that Thomson lives in a large, clean, well ventilated building and seemed well satisfied with his lot in Vacz. Household Helps. Often it is difficult to run the rod through freshly laundered sash curtains. This can be made easier by placing an old glove finger over the end of the curtain rod. Often a comparatively new hot water bottle will get a little hole in it. The hole can be mended by covering it with several applications of court plaster, allowing each application to dry before another is added. A teaspoonful of common salt placed in the bottom of a kerosene lamp will make it give a clear light and prevent it from smoking.—Woman's Magazine. Pictorial Wash Lists Pretty old inventions are our modern wash lists. The old German housewife had an odd way of keeping track of the garments she gave out to be washed. She had a picture of each article and wrote down the number of everything opposite to it with a piece of chalk, which was rubbed out when the article was returned, to be used again the next week. It was really a pictorial and perpetual wash list. When He Was Lavish. "I presume you still remember your wedding trip?" "Yes, indeed. And I often wish that my husband had continued to care as little for money as he seemed to on that first journey we took together."—Detroit Free Press. His Definition.

"What makes you think, sir, that I will not be able to support your daughter?" "Well, I haven't been able to myself." A Historic House. Where Tyndale Started to Translate the Bible into English. About two miles from the old market town of Chipping Sodbury, England, stands an old time house known as Little Sodbury manor house, which, quite apart from its celebrity as one of the oldest examples of domestic architecture in Gloucestershire, has been justly stigged "the birthplace of the English Bible." In one of the old rooms William Tyndale, who lived there for two years, consolled the idea and commenced the work of translating the New Testament into English. In 1521 Sir John Walsh, owner of the innor house, had need of a chapel and enior for his children, and his choice fell upon Tyndale, who had just completed his university career. Tyndale was in great favor with his master, who encouraged him in the great work he had undertaken. It is quite possible that the translation would have been completed here, but Tynable, having expressed his opinions too freely to the neighboring clergy, found himself secretly charged with heresy and summoned to appear before the chancellor of the diocese. Although at the time he was merely admonished, he did not consider it safe to continue in the manor house, thereby involving his patron in danger, so he left and proceeded with his translation in London.—Christian Science Monitor. RACHEL AT REHEARSAL A Stage Accident That Inspired the Great Tragedienne. Let me relate to you a little reminiscence which Marie Laurent gave me of Rachel (Elisa Felix Rachel, famous French tragedienne). She said that once when she was rehearsing the sulvante in "Les Horaces" Rachel was distressed he ause she could not put sufficient expression into the curse that Camille pronounced on her brother after he had shaughtered her lover. While she was laboring in that attempt, "getting dryer every moment," as she herself expressed it, an iron vise that was being turned at rapid pace by a large screw caught a finger of one of the stage mechanics and crushed it till the blood ran down. Every one so caressed: Rachel fainted On recovering consciousness she said, "Some drops from the mangled finger of a stranger made me faint, yet I could look at a sword covered with the life blood of my dearest and only rant." She then hurled forth the famous imprecation de Camille in a way that brought every hammer on the stage to a standstill and "struck terror to us all."—Princess Lazarovich-Hrebianovich in Century Magazine. Bovier Hat. Although, according to Sir James Linton, the bowler hat was worn by the ancient Greeks, its beauties were not discovered by Englishmen until about a century ago. Mrs. A. M. V. Stirling, the biographer of Coke of Norfolk, says that it was first made fashionable by Coke's nephew, William Coke, "who decided that a hat originally designed by William Bowler, a butter in the borough, would suit his requirements." To the popularity of Billy Coke is generally ascribed the word "Billycock," but Sir James Murray thinks otherwise. The New English Dictionary traces its origin to "Bully cocked, used 1721, probably meaning 'cocked after the fashion of the bullies.'" — London Opinion. Demonstrations Compared. "You mustn't neglect your studies for athletics." "That's what father says," replied the young man. "But father never gets up and cheers when he hears me quoting Latin the way he does when he sees me playing football."—Washington Star. She'd Notice it. "Look here," said the husband. "You mustn't complain that way. Remember, at least, that I have to foot all the bills." "Yes, you foot them," retorted the wife. "You kick at every single one of them."—Stray Stories. Press. Her Dread Embrace Meant Cruel and Certain Death. In an ancient tower at Nuremberg a strange figure is shown to visitors. It is called the Eiserne Jungfrau (Iron Maiden) because it looks like a woman dressed in rusty iron. At about the waist are two handles by means of which the front of the figure is opened on hinges, like two doors, from the chin down, leaving the face unseparated. The heavy and massive doors bristle inside with spikes as sharp as daggers, about twenty of which point inward toward the chest and two of which, longer than the others, are fixed inside the face behind the eyes. The Eiserne Jungfrau was an instrument of execution reserved for shameless women. When one of these was condemned to death she was placed inside the figure, and the doors were closed. This forced the spikes into her vital organs and through her eyes into her brain. Death was quick or slow, according to the speed with which the doors were closed. The base of the figure is a trapdoor. When the doors were opened and the victim freed from the spikes the trapdoor was spring and her body dropped through a deep hole into a torrent that still flows under the castle. A tip of a few pfennizs will have the hole lighted with electric lamps, and the visitor can look down and see the dark water, thus completing the tragedy in his imagination.—New York World. They Are as Nourishing as Calf's Foot Jelly and Easy to Raise. "All snails are edible and nutritious," says Canon Horsley in a book on British land and fresh water mollusks. He goes on to say that even the common or garden snail, though insipid, is as nourishing as calf's foot jelly. There is a large white shelled snail called Helix pomatia that is commonly eaten by connoisseurs in the south of England, while all over France, Italy and Spain several species are used as food. In France there are many small farms which yield a good profit to their owners. In the French and Italian quarters of New York snails may be brought either alive or cooked, and at most of the French restaurants they are served, "escargots farcis" being the most usual form of the dish. Snails are easy to raise in large quantities. They need lime for making their shells, but they do not have to be fed, as they can find their own food, which is exclusively the leaves of many plants. They are most delicious when properly prepared and cooked and, as Canon Horsley says, as nourishing as catfish's foot jelly. Rex Beach tells how in the early days of the gold excitement in Alaska there came a young German from Illinois who, after prospecting for awhile, settled in Sitka. His name was Henry F. Almondinger, and, wishing to Americanize himself as much as possible, he applied to the proper authority for permission to change his name to Henry F. Almond. A few days later a man named John Smith applied to the same authority, and, after reciting a long catalogue of the ilis to which he was subject owing to his unfortunately common name, he said in conclusion: "And whereas I have noticed that you have curtailed the name of Henry F. Almondinger to H. F. Almond and have not disposed of the 'inger' which seems to be lying around loose. I respectfully request that the same may be added to my name."—Chicago Tribune. Pneumatic scenery and stage settings are now used in an endeavor to make them more realistic and at the same time conserve the possibleness and convenience of the present type of flat and built up paper and wood forms. This is made of a rubberized fabric and so arranged that it may be inflated quickly and moved about with ease. The idea has been worked out in reproducing trees upon the stage, with the result that they appear very real from a short distance.

Not Socially Nor financially, but the Real Heredit Thing. Ever get stung? Or, rather, who hasn't, says the North Carolina state board of health "both with bees and otherwise. Hurts like the mischief, doesn't in fact getting stung by bees and getting stung otherwise? For either kind of getting stung prevention is better than cure, and discretion is the best part of water. Thet, dictionary and good judgment will ward off many instances of getting stung in the social world as well as in the insect world. We offer no pains or remedy for the former, but for the latter, seriously speaking, much can be done. 'The first instance in the case of an insect sting is to strike the offending insect, and in doing so in most cases we usually fear the insect away from its sting, leaving the sting in the flesh. It is the irritating poison on the sting that hurts so bodily and causes such swelling so the very first thing to do is to remove the sting it left in the skin.' It uses a knife point or needle for this purpose. Then, don't scratch or rub the sting. 'That only makes badurttets worse. Apply a few drops of weak ammonia or spirits of camphor or ordinary theture of iodine as quickly as possible. 'The poison from hornet stings is soluble in alcohol, and therefore if the spot be gently bathed or washed in alcohol some relief is obtained. Finally, if ammonia, camphor, fodine or alcohol is not available, gently rubbing a piece of wet soap over the sting helps the situation out somewhat. Always remember, however, that the most important first aid is to remove the offending sting and that prevention is better than cure. SAVE THE VOICE Do Not Sing Nor Talk When Suffering From Throat Fatigue. Fatigue injures the voice. Excessive use of the voice weakens its carrying power. From overuse or improper use of the voice a chronic pharyngitis develops. Every one knows the symptoms of overuse of the voice. The voice is husky, and its use is followed by distress. There is an increase in secretion and a constant desire to clear the throat, and there are disagreeable sensations, as fullness, tickling and the like. After a long day of shopping, sightseeing or one's daily routine of work, it is quite common to be troubled by hourseness, which does not indicate a "cold," but is merely fatigue of parts which produce the voice. The muscular system all over the body is tired, relaxed. The throat, being a muscular structure, shares in this fatigue, and it should never be used for any particular purpose, like singing or reciting, until the whole body is rested. If one has arranged to use the voice at the close of the day or at any other time, it should not be when suffering from fatigue. Public speakers and singers take care of their voices and never willingly use them long enough at a time to weaken them. Singing only one song extra may hurt the voice enough to impair its clearness, and frequent overdoing may result in a permanent weakness. Rest before using the voice and take care not to use it too long when shaving or speaking saves the voice and keeps it clear and sweet and gives it carrying power.

Judge Edmund Wadill, that noble and fair-minded jurist on the Federal bench, quashed the proceedings against the Lion, R. C. Ogden editor of the Wheeling Intelligence. He is the most resourceful brainiest, and conservative man for right and this state's peaceful prosperity to be found within its confines. Thanks to the Judge and congratulations to editor Ogden. This is eugenic week in Martinsburg. It has made fine stock and a similar method would have made by far better men and women. But the trouble with this country on this line like that of whiskey, these curses have been encouraged and allowed to go on for centuries, until the blind feel its evil effects, and others rise up in advocacy of cutting the dogs tails off with one fell swoop. Such a proceeding recalls the fable of the rat convention to bell the cats. Unless more provisional safety be looked into, the death rate resulting from Automobile travel is sure to increase. Suppose, along all our roads additional roads were built on both sides and fenced off from the center of the road, the one on the right be set apart for going and the one on the left for returning. Would it not put a stop to the wholesale killing that is going on? Also, wherever there are bad places in or along roads by all means concrete fences should be made on top for they are better and cheaper than ambulances at the bottom. --- What a pity Mr. Henry Ford, maker of Ford, cars, is determined to throw away millions of dollars to stop the war. Germany will not agree and England can't afford to. Highly educated as are the persons going it is safe guessing they don't know the mettle and make up of the Germans, and when, if they ever, return the whole story can be in substance told thusly: we spat against wind. If Mr. Ford would spend his millions making better citizens of the poor whites and blacks of America, a thousand times more good would be done. Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore, who for "a decade" has been in charge of Zion Baptist Church in Philadelphia Pa., has a call to Columbus, O. No cleaner man lives in that city; any place that gets him will have a jewel in thought, bravery, honesty, intelligence and solid Christianity. Rev. Dr. Davis who use to be in Philadelphia but now Columbus, will greet his old friend, should Dr. Moore go there with open and outstretched arms, and what a pair for good they would be in the great capital of Ohio. ```markdown ``` Charles Edward Russell the noted socialist foresees this country in a death struggle with Germany, and urges Americans to quickly prepare for it. He declares that the Germans will fortify themselves all along the Canadian border and play havoc with this country. And that Japan can and will do the same on the Pacific coast. He may have a keen eye, but it looks to us as if his seeing overflows with imagination. If Germany ever gets over her tangle with the Allies those who are left will not be inclined to tackle this Country. --- The most beautiful city in this country is Concord New Hampshire. Every street is lined with all kinds of fruit trees. For years we have advocated the same in other villages towns and cities. It not only helps to supply every one with fruit but inculcates honesty, for no one bothers his neighbors fruit. Germany plants her cities, her gardens, public roads and even along the line of her railroads. In the face of this, the absurdity of our government foresters urging sycamore trees for city ornamentation -dirtiest trees that grow. They shed their bark yearly, litter their surroundings and give no benefit to life. A colored lodge man who makes all his money off of colored folks, a colored preacher who collects his salary from a Negro congregation, a colored teacher who would have no job but for colored children, can well afford to spend some of his money with colored folks.—Dallas Express. And not only that Bro. King, but make the colored banks their depositories.—Savannah Tribune. Bro. King's indictment in Texas holds good up here and puts many in court. The worst feature of it is this non-supporting or trafficking class with colored firms, are the very ones who preach union. Until they practice what they preach, they are stumbling blocks. Let us build a fact on a foundation of supposition. Suppose the colored people had been treated fair and brotherly, and all our American business firms had given them employment in preference to any and all foreigners, would our great workshops be razed to the ground and hundreds of our home-born people to atoms? It may be God's way to bring the true Americans to take this matter to heart. At Valley Forge, our great and good George Washington then foresaw what we are seriously facing now and ordered "None but Americans on guard tonight." And with the courage of Michael Devitt, who yelled out on one occasion to his suffering brethren, in reference to the English—"Keep your hats on your heads, and look the English in the face," suffice it to say the time is ripe for us to keep our hats on our heads and look this element in the face, and declare: henceforth none but Americans regardless of color, in our mills and factories. By irksome and unceasing toil the colored people have made this country tillable, fit for grazing and beautiful and fought like Turks in every war to the present time and never played a coward or traitor, and they will if given a chance and treated like men, be equally as true to labor and its interests from sea to sea, and from Maine to Florida In the Evening Shadow (UNTER DEM LINDENDAUM) Played by Victor Herberts Famous Orchestra D.C.

"With a recent issue, the Afro-American Ledger with appropriate ceremony entered the year that brings it within touching distance of a quarter century of its existence. On July 31st last The Cleveland (O.) Gazette celebrated its thirty-second birthday and remarked that 'having been in the editorial ' harness' so long, we feel like the dean of the Afro-American press.'" "If the deanship goes to age (this paper was established March 2, 1882, and entered upon its thirty-fourth year last March) it belongs to us" remarks the Martinsburg, (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, which however is willing to cast the first vote for "deanship" not for age but for better services rendered, in favor of its Ohio contemporary. To this The Gazette replied modestly that the palm undoubtedly belongs to the "Pioneer Press" and the Afro-American Ledger was on the point of casting the second vote, when a glance at the files proved there are three contemporaries older than either of the two mentioned, and one more which is just as old. "The Christian Recorder" of Philadelphia, is sixty-three years old; the Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zion thirty-nine; the Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist, thirty-seven; and the Richmond (Va.) Planet, thirty-two. Now who is clean? -Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American Ledger The EDITOR longest CONTINUOUSLY, in the editorial thar ness" is the clean of the Afro-American press. The question therefore is, has Editor Steward of the Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist been in the editorial 'harness' thirty-seven CONSECUTIVE years? An answer, in the affirmative from him, will settle the matter.--The Cleveland Gazette. This question of who is the dean of the colored press has been up several times, and without any claim to the honor the statement of the service of the editor of this paper has been given upon several occasions. The Baptist Herald was established in Palucah, Ky., in 1875 of which Rev. G. W. Dupee was editor and Win. H. Steward, associate editor. This paper was merged into the American Baptist Jan. 1st., 1879, with Rev. A. C. Carpenter, editor and Rev. G. W. Dupee and Win. H. Steward, associate editors and Bro. Steward has been connected continuously with one or the other of these papers since 1875 as associate editor or editor. This information has been published before and it is a source of pleasure and pride without any regard to the reason which has caused it to be repeated at this time. $ \frac{1}{2} $ Louisville (Ky.)

Ruses by Which Vessels May Escape Their Torpedo Attacks. It is the surprise attack which in nearly every case enables a submarine to torpedo a hostile ship. There are several maneuvers by means of which a ship can trick a submarine. Several vessels have diverted torpedoes by swinging round their stern until it points in the direction of the undersea craft. In this way the wash of the propellers has deflected the torpedo from its course and it has sped harmlessly past its mark. Another successful ruse is to stoke up the furnaces of a ship chased by a submarine, and thick, black smoke belches from its funnels and ewings the vessel in a protective shroud. In this way the submarine gunners are confused and cannot perceive the correct direction in which to send their torpedo. A speedy ship which follows an erratic, zigzag course presents a poor mark to a submarine. When a torpedo is dispatched against a fast traveling vessel it is directed to a point just ahead of its mark, and the craft literally runs into the death-dealing device. This obviously causes happen however. If a ship is swimming rapidly from side to side and alternately pointing the narrow expanse of its bows or stern to the undersea marksmaken. A submarine seismic attacks a vessel if it is not alone, for it can only attack one at a time, and while it is launching a torpedo at its first mark the second vessel has an excellent opportunity of ramming the submarine, which can be located by its telltale periscope.—Pearson's Weekly. THE ENTRANCE HALL. Make It Suit Not Visitors, but the Occupants of the Home. Is anything new to be said about the entrance hall? The smallest room in most houses, it is usually given in the plans an amount of attention that might seem out of all proportion to the rest of the house. And yet the ordinary entrance, whether it be a more vestibule, a spacious hall of the colonial style or, as in our present day fashions, a part of the living room set off by an archway, is quite unsatisfactory. It is unsatisfactory for this reason—that the entrance way is designed and decorated from the standpoint of the impression it makes on visitors, whereas the impression we should seek is not that made upon guests, but upon ourselves, the occupants of the house. Too often we give the entrance a severe treatment that impresses the student of beauty or that amazes the less discriminating visitor by the other extreme of lavish display. But how does either of these two types of entrance affect those who come into the house many times every day, the good man and his good wife and their children? Is it a room that by its suggestion of rest and repose tempts one after a hard day's work at the office to drop into the first easy chair that comes along, or does it irritate the nerves and keep one going, restless and uneasy, wandering from the entrance to the living room and from the living room to the study and thence to the attic by way of the basement?—Good Health. Suppressing Swearing. Profane as well as legal oaths have been the subject of many parliamentary measures in England. No fewer than five separate bills having the prevention of swearing for their object were presented during the reign of James L., but it was not until 1623 that an enactment was finally carried defining and controlling the offense. In 1635 a public department was established to collect the fines enforced by this law. The officials of this department, of whom one was appointed in every parish, were allowed 2s. 6d. in the pound on the money thus collected, and the balance was paid over to the bishop for the benefit of the deserving poor. These penalties ceased to be enforced after the restoration, but were revived by a statute of William and Mary and still further increased under George H.

Photographs are taken at two points with a surveying camera, the plates being exposed in the vertical plane passing through both stations. The developed plates, or positives from them, being then placed in a stereoopic measuring machine that combines the pictures, a brief calculation gives the exact position of any desired point. The effective range of the instrument is put at about five miles, and the method is said to be of particular advantage in mapping large areas of mountainous country. A Real Grievance.
