Hon. C. W. Anderson In Making Presentation as Token of Esteem From Leading Men Calls Mr. Fortune One of Race's Bravest Champions—Praised by Other Speakers.
By GEORGE W. HARRIS.
An audience entirely unworthy in point of numbers was present at the recent notable occasion at the Abyssina Baptist church, New York, when Collector Charles W. Anderson, in behalf of Dr. Booker T. Washington and other leading colored men throughout the country, gave to the great veteran editor, T. Thomas Fortune, $315 as a token of their esteem. The audience was composed almost solely of members of the church, and so comparatively few were they that were not be circumstances explained New York's colored population would appear entirely ungrateful of the friendship and services of the fearless journalist who was largely responsible for the abolition of jimcrow schools in the state and many other civil discriminations.
But for some unknown reason the date, place and other features of what was to be New York's tribute to a popular champion were unaccountably withheld from the public. The arrangements for the meeting, it seems, were entirely in the hands of Fred R. Moore of the New York Age, which Mr. Fortune founded and built into its position of power and prominence of a few years ago.
Up until within three days of the proposed meeting some of the speakers who were to be-Collector Anderson, Rev. R. M. Bolden, James H. Anderson, Wilford H. Smith, Esq. and N. Barnett Dodson-were not even
asked to participate. But the few people who chatted to read or hear of the meeting were present and by their enthusiasm made up in quality what the meeting lacked in quantity.

One of Race's Bravest Champions.
The elequent New Yorker in present-
ing the fund said:
Ladis and Gentlemen—I regard it as a
great judge to be permitted to take
in this testimonial to one of the
bravest champions the race has ever
produced, Mr. T. Thomas Fortune. In this
day of many Caesars it is extremely dally
cult to determine product, and should
should be taken to each of them, but
I think it will be agreed that among our
most excellent journalists the voice has
runs loudest or truer for the past-well. I
voice of him, whom we greet, tonight.
He has won a place more prominent and more enduring in the hearts of our men and, women than any editor who has wielded a pen during our generation, and he has won it by his loyalty. He dogged him through his race and extraordinary capacity to face hostility and even hatred in defense of his beliefs. While other worthy men have been given offices of honor and enrolment in recognition of their services to their race and party, he has had to be content with thanks—thanks, the exchequer of the poor—but which had to be reckoned with and one that was stubborn and unbending for right and justice. Think of him what you will, you must conceive that among the pale shadows that ordinarily fit across the stage of our public life Tom Fortune is a solid and vigorous personality. Of course he is no saint and no priest, but he is a man of integrity and has been thoroughly gentile and welly without artifices or sham.
He hates peace. His God is the God of battle, and he appears to see him only in the avalanche and seems to hear him only in the thunder. He is a militant man, but his friends love to feel that if he strikes hard and fidelely with him, he will almost always struck in response to his burning sympathies and intense convictions. I hold that the race is well served when she is served by a man. Our great lender, Dr. Booker T. Washington, with that considerate husband, Mr. Fortune's old friends to make a small contribution toward a fund for the purchase of some token, that would express our regard for him, but it was subsequently decided that it would be better to present him with the purse than to unload on him the race and wish him of that day, which and the pleasant duty of presenting that purse has been assigned to me.
I therefore present this purse of £15 to Mr. T. Thomas Fortune as a slight token of the high esteem in which he is held by the race and wish him of that day, which I hope is far distant, when he shall put aside his armor and surrender his pen to younger hands. And when his work is all finished and his words all spoken it is my firm belief that his spirit will still survive to give it to the man of the day, which the man blazed will be broad and straight for the march of younger feet.
Mr. Fortune was much moved by the presentation and flattering eulogy of the speakers and contributors and expressed his thanks to them as well as to the subscribers of the testimonial. Of Dr. Washington he said that he was in nowise surprised that he had undertaken the subscription, as it was not in his nature to do other than generously and muganimously to those who had served, as he thought, his race worthily. The personal relations and close friendship which had existed for two decades between Mr. Washington and himself, he commented, had been one of the most helpful and notable in the history of the Afro-American people and was one of the happiest experiences of his life.
Mr. Fortune Makes Statement.
Mr. Fortune authorized the following statement in regard to the meeting:
Mr. Fortune, who had refused to have anything to say one way or another as to the propriety of asking for a testimonial, declaring that he was willing to leave the responsibility for it to Dr. Washington; who proposed it, and the friends cooperating with him, objected to the man and time of holding the testimony in New York, which was in the hands of Fred R. Moore of the New York Age. Mr. Fortune baked his objection to the manner of making the testimonial a public function at the time advertised on the ground that proper advertisement of the gathering had not been made to insure a representative, apprehensive, this work three years in New York, the notice having been made and speakers asked to participate within five days of the date of meeting.
At a meeting held at the law offices of Wilford H. Smith, 10 Nassau street at which Mr. Smith, Mr. Hort, Charles W. Amerson, and Mr. Fortune were present. After the matter was thrashed by all concerned Mr. Fortune agreed to attend the meeting on the ground solely that he did not wish to embarrass those who might attend the meeting on the strength of such notice as had been made of it.
Dr. Washington: Pays Tribute.
Dr. Washington, who was unable to be present in the city at the meeting, sent the following letter to Collector Anderson:
My Dear Mr. Anderson—Inclosed I send you New York draft for you, together with the names of the contributors toward the T. Thomas Fortune testimonial
It was thoroughly understood by the donors and all concerned that this money is given not because of its intrinsic value to Mr. Fortune, but simply as an indication of the race's indebtedness to him for his long and hard service in behalf of the progress of the nation. No one was asked to make a large contribution.
Veteran Guards' Second Anniversary.
The event in military circles in Brooklyn for the week ending March 18 was the second military entertainment and dance of Company A. veteran guards, held at that company's headquarters in Hartkirk street. The guard made a fine showing, and their appearance in the grand marche with full regalia created much enthusiasm. Lieutenant Denton and Captain Manning with their associates composed the committee of arrangements.
No Color Line Drawn at Cornell.
Miss Currude Marton, matron in charge at Cornell university and head of Sage college, denies the allegations of James B. Clarke that colored girls are discriminated against by the other students at the university. "It is not true that we have placed a ban on colored girls at Sage college, and there is no color line drawn at Cornell university" she says.
Thousands For Kansas University. The Kansas legislature has appropriated $105,000 for the Western university at Quindand. Professor H. T. Kealing, editor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Review, is the president of the university. Six thousand dollars were also allowed the Douglas hospital at Kansas City, an institution which was founded by the late Bishop Grant.

Pittsburg Clergy Score Washingtons Assailant—Pass Strong Resolutions
for, booker T. Washington, a man who has been entertained by Presidents, kings and queens, and the wealth and best blood of the world has been assaulted by a mental servant, a janitor, an ignorant, ill-trained, produced apology for something then call human. Uhura Uhura is the name of the creature with human resemblances that thought to be Washington an insurer upon his premises. A full law has the same province as that occupied by Uhura, and often opinion better discretion. There is no excuse for the incident, however much it may be discussed; the incident constitutes an assault by the lowest type of creation. The en-
the Negro race has a right to feel deeply insulted over the ridiculous as well as disdainful affair.
Nor does the insult stop with the incident. We as a race have been held up before the world in a most shameful light by the public press generally, whose editors at once resorted to yellow journalism as a means of revenue. Without an investigation, without even the courtesy due the math, without any regard for the truth, but with the zealousness and agility of a serpent bent upon the very life of his prey, these unscrupulous writers, out of the blackness of their hearts and their very nature, sought to cast a
Pittsburgh, Pa., March 22, 1915.
The undersigned ministers of the Gospel and members of the Pittsburg Ministerial Association of Greater Pittsburg and vicinity have heard, within bound regret and indignation, on the felonious assault recently made on the person of Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., by Albert A. Urich of 111 West Sixteenth street, New York City, giving as a pretext for said assault the protestor excuse that Dr. Washington had been guilty of insulting the wife of said assailant in the possibility of their home at the number given above.
Knowing how intense and unreasoning is the prejudice against members of our race variety, and the readiness to see in the most innocent act of pay of its members a shister and an lawful intent, we are not surprised that this man Ulrich, not knowing who Dr. Washington was and discovering him engaged in the task of striving to ascertain, by reading names of persons or families residing in said house from name plates adjacent to speaking tubes (a thing of daily, if not hourly occurrence in that city, and the only means by which to locate families) should have hastily concluded that he was bent on murder or criminal intention; or that he should have accosted him, making inquiry as to what brought him the罪. But it is unthinkable, that having discovered, after making this unprooked and unjustifiable assault, that his victim was Dr. Booker T. Washington, a man trusted and honored throughout the world—a welcome guest in the homes of the most refined and cultured people of the world—and whose antecedents all point to the unilateral that he could descend to the infamous and scandalous level of the scum of their city, we say that it is inconceivable that he could for a moment thereafter have believed himself justified in that assault. And it would have spoken volumes for the credit of the assailant had he been brave and honorable enough to admit his mistake, and seek to make all possible amends for his hasty and ill-advised action in making the unproved assault.
That he has sought to exude the riht佉ienship of an outraged public conscience and world-wide sentiment and sense of shame which will not be confined to members of the race-variety to which Dr. Washington belongs, but will sweep the world around, wherever the name and fame of Booker. Washington has penetrated by concocting and offering as a palliation for his unwarranted act of assault, the thread-bare, and films' pretext that Dr. Washington accosted his wife with undue and insulting familiarity, will deserve no one. Not a living soul who Booker T. Washington, the man of scrupulous integrity and incorruptible morals, will for a moment countenance such an association. Of the contrary they will and must always believe that it was presented as means of escaping the penalty of forfeiture of a few family dollars in payment for his debt so an outraged public regiment our satisfaction that every Sixth Law president of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute places that corporation squarely beside Washington in repudiating the accusation made against him, and we do not believe any considerable number of the people of this country, or of the world, will, for a moment, their admiration and respect for this great and good man because, of this reverent incident.
Whenever Dr. Washington shall be able to make an explanation of the circumstances which brought him to that house in West St. Paul street in New York, we are confident that both his friends and enemies will be convinced that his crimes was妥信, and that he was sharply accused and indicted by those who sought to cast aspiration upon him.
Resolved, That we hereby recognize our continued faith and confidence in Dr. Washington as a gentleman of incorruptibility and purity of life and heart; that we do not, cannot and will not believe him capable of the conduct attributed to him by his accusers; that he has our profound sympathy in the physical and mental agony which he now suffer, chiefly as the price he must pay for being

universal siren upon a strangling race by the reckless publication of lies magnified by a diabolical imagination. But this is the United States or America. Alas to America.
While we are interested in the accounts given by all papers, we are especially interested in the accounts given by our local papers. The Chronicle Telegraph, owned and controlled by our United States senator, resorted to unusually large headlines that bespoke the yellow as no other paper of the city. This same paper could not, and would not give space to the Y. M. C. A. campaign for Negroes on this city, although selected to do so: yes. D. Wellington's name was used as a "seller" for an entire edition. We expect better than this from a paper whose boss enjoys the frankishness of nomine Negroes. The披针 exhibited better training; nothing to the Press. These papers owe nothing to the Negro in comparison to what the senator's paper does; and there is no excuse for such "yellow" tactics as resorted to by the Chronicle Telegraph.
The Negroes of this city are awake to the attitude taken toward them by all papers, and they can not mistake the attitude of the paper mentioned. We expect Dr. Washington to vindicate himself without trouble; and we shall await the accounts given by the local press.
# Washington's Pass Strong Resolutions
Negro, and one of the foremost educators of the world.
Resolved. That our respect and admiration for Dr. Washington is unabated, and that we believe that even this attempt to shatter his prestige and glory as the most distinguished member of the Negro race in this or any other country of the world, will be overruled of God to advance his star of destiny to higher heights.
Resolved. That we call upon the members of the race everywhere to give expression to their confidence in Booker Washington, thus giving evidence to the world that we are not blind to his excellencies, or the motive that lies back of this attack, viz.: a discrediting of the race through its highest and best type.
Resolved. The copy of this statement be given to the associated press, and that we appoint to forward to Dr. Washington at New York as evidence of our confidence and good will. Signed.

SUNDAY AFTERNO
Are you attending strictly to business? Are you on the job early and late, and giving your patrons full value for their money? If not, do so at once, as it is most essential and the road to success. Study your business from A to Z and keep up-to-date. You have got to spend money to make it, and it is the public know what you are doing and what you have got to offer, advertising it thoroughly. Keep in the limelight always, for if you don't the progressive man will get your trade. Do you make your places attractive, and have you cultivated those nice courtesies and practiced them upon your customers, which you find will win you friends and dollars. We have some barber shops now on the hill, as well as some other places of business that the Bureau of Health ought to put out of business. If you are not giving your customers their money's worth, get out of business. Don't complain about not getting in patronage and support of your people, if you are not giving full value and doing your part to deserve it.
The colored business men of the Hill should come together about once a month and talk "shop," as such meetings ought to be helpful. You should be members of the UPTOWN BOARD OF TRADE. If helpful to the white merchant, why not you?
Do you buy everything you can from the Race's enterprises? Where do you get your clothes made, your groceries and soft drinks, if you please? Who's your doctor, dentist and lawyer? It is very inconsistent for any church, institution or individual to patronize elsewhere especially, in fact everybody should spend their money with his people as much as possible. Last, but not least, you now have a newspaper of your own in the Courier, that deserves your loyal support. If you canopy your lofty chair the success of this paper means to the colored merchant, church and race in general in Pittsburg and the State, you should do your full duty by buying it weedy or subscribe for it. We want to take this occasion to compliment Mr. Geo. Robb, proprietor of the leading cafe and bar on the Hill, as well as Mr. Wm. T. Ward, who conducts the finest billiard and pool patrons on the Hill, for taking 20 cobles each week, which they give away, free to their patrons. It helps them and it helps us to increase our circulation.

A famous actor would never take medicine; and his medical man was often obliged to resort; to strategem to impose a dose upon him. There is a play in which the hero is sentenced to drink a cup of poison. The actor in question was playing this character one night, and had given directions to have the cup filled with port wine; but when he came to drink it, what was his horror to find it contained a dose of senna! He could not throw it away, as he had to hold the goblet upside down to show his persecutors he had drained every drop of it. Our hero drank the medicine; but he never forgave his medical man, as was proved at his death, for he died without paying his bill.

Twenty-four years ago, when he was graduated from Shaw university, the president gave him $10 and commanded him to go down to a neglected portion of North Carolina and build a school. He laughed heartily and said: "Are you serious, Mr. President? What can be done with $10?" And the president replied, "It is exactly $10 more than I had when I came to Raleigh after the war and began to build this great institution." A long story is briefly told when we remember that the school has been built and that $10 was the first of many offerings which made possible its fruitful growth. Two hundred students are in attendance. Many of them go to the higher institutions to complete their education as lawyers, physicians, teachers, bankers and rubbers to their race.

Dr. Brown is a graduate from the college and theological departments of Shaw university, and because of his utility and exceptional work, he has received the honorary degrees of A. M. and D. D. He is among the best theologians of the race a deep thinker, scholar and fortable speaker. Thousands of copies of his addresses have been printed and distributed. His executive ability is evidenced in many activities of the race. He is president of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission convention, secretary of the grand lodge of Masons, editor of the Baptist Benthel. Basseng, and pastor of four churches.
As principal of the institution, which is doing so much for the conserving of the elements that will make the race not to be always dependent, he is among the leading educators. His plant is rapidly developing, and the main building, which is brick, has the best auditorium to this section of North Carolina. Owing to the school being in an agricultural section Dr. Brown is planning for a department to be given to scientific agricultural courses.

Under the Able and Effective Leadership of President N. W. Collier the Institution Has Steadily Grown In Influence and Usefulness—Denominational Lines May Be Eliminated.
BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING.
Jacksonville, Fl.—The Florida Baptist academy is a splendid tribute to the energy and thriftiness of Afro-Americans. The growth of the institution, with its plant and equipment, which is conservatively estimated at $75,000, is largely due to the exceptional qualifications of its honored president, Professor N. W. Collier. By diligence and strict attention to the many duties which devolve upon him as the directing head of the school Mr. Collier has won many friends for the school.
The school is fortunate in being located in a picturesque section of the city. As Florida may justly be called the gateway to the tourist section of the south, any number of prominent educators and travelers from the north visit the academy on these annual pilgrimages to this portion taking the winter season.
The remarkable progress of the school has elicited the highest con- mendation from those making it from ex-President Roosevelt down to the carewrist veteran to the civil war from the north. People who are em- giment in the education realm al- so that this work is adequately im- pative to conserve the forces of the young people, especially in Florida, they are to be baptized citizens of the highest ideals.
The atmosphere within a radius of a mile of the surface extends out of being near an otherwise inaccessible essentially unmodified zone in an araund chrysotis lake.
PRESIDENT N. W. COLLIER.
The activity of the student body, actuated by the strong Christian environment and principles, the basis of work of renown, is forcefully evidenced in the life of Jacksonville. The graduates engaged in professions, commerce and trades are highly successful and are conspicuous in their respective communities because of their character for good and thorough preparation for a life of productive work.
The broadness of the president is exemplified in the faculty being members of various denominations; and the student body being the same. Plans are now being carefully considered where the scope of the school will be made that the denominational phase, as it is believed by some to be only for those of the Baptist inclination, will interest people of all denominations. It is now largely upon this scale. Because of such enshbling ideas permeating the entire faculty and official and high standard of proficiency of the identified with the academy the gr has been so steady and assuring need of such a movement in that these exigencies require
A feature that is very helpful to the boys is the military regulations of the school. The girls indulge in all healthy gymnastic exercises, and student life upon this campus invigorates the most stupid fellow and gives him a breakneck conception of the possibilities of becoming a desirable factor in working out honestly the problems of life.
Miss S. A. Blocker, Professor Collier's assistant, is a modern Ruth. Without this modest Christian and businesslike woman the institution would be shorn of much of the wholesome influence which it possesses.
How Governor Dix Can Make Good. If the administration of Governor John A. Dix of New York can be credited with an Afro-American instiltrator he will be regarded as a true friend of the race, says the Brooklyn Era. If this is done the thousands of voters which Afro-Americans cast the last fall will not have been displeased to wait.

CHAPTER VII. (Continued.)
Well, it ended by Jim's graciously permitting Bella to remain—there being nothing else to do—and by his magnanimously agreeing to keep her real identity from Aunt Selina and Mr. Harbison, and to break the news of her presence to Anne and the rest. It created a sensation beside which Anne's pearls faded away, although they came to the front again soon enough.
Jim broke the news at once, gathering everybody but Harbison and Aunt Selina in the upper hall. He was palpitatingly nervous, but he tried to carry it off with a high hand.
"It's unfortunate," he said, looking around the circle of faces, each one frozen, with amazement, and just a suspicion, perhaps, of incredulity.
"It's particularly unfortunate for her. You all know how high-struggle she is, and if the papers should get hold of it—well, we'll all have to make it as easy as we can for her."
With Jim's eye on them, they pH swallowed the butler story without a gulp. But Anne was indignant.
"It's like Bella," she snapped. "Well, she has made her bed and she can lie on it. I'm sure I shan't make it for her. But if you want to know my opinion, Mr. Hardison may be a fool, but you can't run two Belles, be a pee es, down Miss Caruthers' throat a stick."
a stick."
He had not thought of before and every one looked blank. Finally, however, Jim said Bella's middle name was Constantia, and we decided to call her that. But it turned out afterward that nobody could remember it in a hurry, and generally when we wanted to attract her attention, we walked across the room and touched her on the shoulder. It was quicker and safer.
The name decided, we went down in a line to welcome Bella, to make her feel at home, and to get her deplorable situation. Lella worked herself into a really sympathetic frame of mind.
"Poor dear," she said, on the way down. "Now don't grim anybody, just cordial and glad to see her. I hope she doesn't cry. You know the spells she takes."
We stopped outside the door, and everybody tried to look the cheerful and sympathetic and not grimy—which was as hard as looking as if we had had a cup of tea—and then Jim threw the door open and we filed in. Bella was comfortably reading by the fire. She had her feet up on a stool and a pillow behind her head. She did not even look at us for a minute; then she merely glanced up as she turned a page. "Dear me," she said mockingly, "what a lot of frumps you all are! I had hoped it was some one with my breakfast."
Then she went on reading. As Lella said afterward, that kind of person ought to be divorced.
Aunt Sellina came down just then and I left everybody trying to explain Bella's presence to her, and fed to the kitchen. The Harbison man appeared while I was sitting hopelessly in front of the gas range, and showed me about it.
"I don't know that I ever saw one," he said cheerfully, "but I know the theory. Likewise, by the same token, his tea kettle, set on the flame, will it, that is not theory, however, it is early knowledge. "Polly, put kettle on," we'll all take tea," Look at Mrs. Wilson. I didn't fight with boiled water at Chicka-ar nothing."
He let out the policeman and brought him into the kitchen. He was a large man, and his face was a curious mixture of amusement, alarm and dignity. No doubt we did" took queer, still in parts of our evening clothes and I in the white silk lace patricolate that belonged under my gown, with a yellow and black paama coat of Jimmy's as a sort of breakfast jacket.
"This is Officer Flannigan." Mr. Harbison said. "I explained our unfortunate position earlier in the morning, and he is prepared, to accept our hospitality. Flannigan, every person in this house has got to work, as I also explained to you. You are appointed dish-washer and scullery maid." The policeman looked dazed. Then, slowly, like dawn over a sleeping lake, a light of comprehension grew in his face. "Sure," he said, laying his helmet on the table. "Till be glad to be doing anything I can to help. Me and Mrs. We used to be friends. It's
many the time I've opened the carriage door for her, and she with her head in the air, and for all that, the pleasant smile. When any one one around her was having a party and wanted a special officer, it was Mrs. Wilson that always said, 'Get Flannigan, Officer Timothy Flannigan. He's your man.' "My heart had been going lower, and lower. So, he knew Bella, and he knew I was not Bella, although he had not grasped the fact that I was usurping her place. And the odious Harbison man sat on the table and swung his feet.
"I wonder if you know," he said, looking around him, "how good it is to see a white woman so perfectly at home in a civilized kitchen again, after two years of food cooked by a filthy Indian squaw over a portable sheet-iron stove!"
"So perfectly at. home!" I stood in the middle of the room and stared around at the copper things hanging up and the rows of blue and white crockery, and the dozens and hundreds of complicated-looking utensils, whose names I had never even heard, and I was dazed. I tried with some show of authority to instruct Flannigan about gathering up the soiled things, and, after listening in puzzled silence for a minute, he stripped off his blue coat with a tolerant smile.
"Lave 'em to me, miss," he said.

"Me and Mrs. Wilson—We Used to Be Friends."
The "miss" passed unnoticed. "I mayn't give 'em a Turkish bath, which is what you are describin', but I'll get the grease off all right. I always-clean up while the missus is in bed with a young 'un."
He rolled up his sleeves, found a brown checked gingham apron behind the door, and tied it around his neck with the ease of practise. Then he cleared off the plates, eating what appealed to him as he did so, and stopping now and again for a deep-throated chuckle.
picked up an egg and "Separate!" he reflect white from the-whale ing experts call it—the "Exactly!" I exclaim on the me. "Of cours would find out." Then cipe—tell until well fold in the whites.
"Fold?" he question pretty thin to fold, d upon my word, I never ing an egg. Are you you know. Please com
"I'm thinkin'," he said once, stopping with a dish in the air, "what a deuce of a noise there will be when the vaccination doctor comes around this morain." In a week every one of us will be nursein' a sore arm or walkin' on one leg, beegin' your pardon, miss. The last time the force was vaccinated, I asked to be done behind me car; I needed me legs and I needed me arms, but didn't need me head much."
He threw his head back and laughed, Mr. Harbison laughed too. Oh, we were very cheerful. And that awful stove stared at me, and the kettle began to hum, and Aunt Sellina sent down word that she was not well, and would like some omelet on her tray. Quotel.
I knew that it was made of eggs, but that was the extent of my knowledge. I muttered an excuse and ran strollers to Anne, but she was still stifling over her necklace, and said she didn't know anything about chewlets and didn't care. Food would choke her. Neither of the Mercer girls knew either, and Bella, who was still reading in the den, absolutely declined to help.
"I don't know, and I wouldn't tell you if I did. You can get yourself out, as you got yourself in," she said nastily. "The simplest thing, if you don't mind my suggesting it, is to poison the coffee and kill the lot of us. Only, if you decide to do it, let me know; I want to live just long enough to see Jimmy Wilson writter."
Bella is the kind of person who gets on one's nerves. She finds a grievance and hugs it; she does ridiculous things and blames other people. And she flirts.
I went down-stairs despondently, and found that Mr. Harbison had discovered some eggs and was standing helplessly staring at them.
"Omelet — egg. Eggs — omelet. That's the extent of my knowledge," he said, when I entered. "You'll have to come to my assistance."
It was then that I saw the cook book. It was lying on a shelf beside the clock, and while Mr. Harbison had his back turned I got it down. It was quite clear, that the domestic type of woman was his ideal, and I did not care to outrage his belief in me. So I took the cook book into the pantry and read the recipe over three times.
When I came back I knew it by heart, although I did not understand it.
"I will tell you how," I said with a great deal of dignity, "and since you want to help, you may make it yourself."
He was delighted.
"Fine!" he said. "Suppose you give me the idea first. Then we'll go over it slowly, bit by bit. We'll make a big fluffy omelet, and if the others aren't around, we'll eat it ourselves."
"Well," I said, trying to remember exactly, "you-take two eggs—"
"Two!" he repeated. "Two eggs for ten people!" "Don't interrupt me," I said irritably. "If—if two isn't enough we can make several omelets, one after the other."
He looked at me with admiration.
"Who else but you would have thought of that!" he remarked. "Weil, here are two eggs. What next?"
"Separate them," I said easily. No. I didn't know what it meant. I hoped he would; I said it as casually as I could, and I did not look at him. I knew he was staring at me, puzzled.
"Separate them!" he said. "Why, they aren't fastened together?" Then he laughed. "Oh, yes, of course!" When I looked he had put one at each end of the table. "Afraid they'll quarrel, I suppose." he said. "Well, now they're separated."
"Then beat."
"First separate, then beat?" he repeated. "The author of that cook book must have had a mean disposition. What's next? Hang them?" He looked up at me with his boyish smile.
"Separate and beat." I repeated. If I lost a word of that recipe I was gone. It was like saying the alphabet: I had to go to the beginning every time, mentally.
"Well, he reflected," you can't heat an egg, no matter how cruel you may be, unless you break it first." He
G. H. H.
picked up an egg and looked at it.
"Separate!" he reflected. "Ah—the
white from the—whatever you cook-
ing experts call it—the yellow part."
"Exactly!" I exclaimed, light break-
ing on me. "Of course, I knew you
would find out." Then back to the recipe—"beat until well mixed; then fold in the whites."
"Fold?" he questioned. "It looks pretty tibn to fold, doesn't it? I—upon my word, I never heard of folding an egg. Are you—but of course you know. Please come and show me how."
TO BE CONTINUED
In a vacant lot at the corner of Eleventh and Larkir streets was an old white dog that wasn't well. He crawled over near a billboard and lay down. Lots of people saw him, but nobody paid any attention to him until a trampish-looking fellow came along. He was "Hard Times" personified. He went over and petted the dog.
"What's the matter, old boy?" he asked. "Sick?" The dog seemed to appreciate the uncutch one's attention. The man petted him a little more.
"Wait, I'll get you a drink?" he said. He went to a saloon near by and returned with a th busin fall of water. The dog lapped up some of the water and the man poured the rest on the animal's head. In a couple of minutes more the dog arose and slowly walked away, wagging his tail. He was much better.
Just an old dog—just an old bum—that's all—Denver Times.
Girl Messengers for Postoffice.
Arrangements for the employment of girls instead of boys as indoor messengers in the general postoffice and in some of the principal provincial postoffices are being completed, and it is anticipated that the experiment will be made on January 1 at the latest. At St. Marinie-le-Grand it is hoped to employ the girls mainly in the telephone and telegraph departments, where women form a considerable proportion of the staff. The wage to be paid to the girl messengers will be one shilling less than that of the boys—London Times.
Things He Had Missed
"It's too bad," was the thoughtless reply, "but I don't see why you should tell me your troubles."
Couldn't
"Go home with your wife and settle your troubles out of court."
"No, your honor, I refuse to strike a woman!"
Couldn't.

NOTICE
To All Subscribers to the Y. M.
C. A. Building Fund.
In going forward with the work of establishing a Y. M. C. A. for the colored men of Pittsburgh; your committee will count on your financial promise. It would be unfortunate in the extreme if we do not receive every dollar that has been pledged by the men and women of our race. We cannot afford to lose the prestige gained by our glorious record during the building campaign. We must show to the citizens of this community who helped us so loyalty, that we keep our promise. The delay in the payment of these subscriptions thus far is the only thing that is retarding us in going forward for our new building.
We want to urge with all the power at our command that you sacrifice anything rather than delay any longer in the payment of your pledge. May we not count on it at once? This is the most important thing that has confronted our race in this city and we depend on your loyalty to make our victory complete.

Any Negro who has been refused in any of the above cases has a clear case against the party discriminating; but the trouble arises when suit is brought, for in almost every case the defendant says that he did not refuse to serve the plaintiff because he was colored. In each case the defense is the same. Mr. Bass' amendment provides that refusal shall constitute evidence of violation of the above quoted act.
Every Negro in Pennsylvania should write his representative a letter on this question, and demand an answer. In this way we can put our representatives on record. At the election, they tell us nice things and make us rash promises; now let them either stand for us, or go on, record against us.
THE WASHINGTON INCIDENT
The ridiculous attack upon Dr. B. T. Washington by a German domestic serves no other purpose than the illustration of an honest conviction of an ignorant janitor, who thought that the only privileged characters in New York city were the janitor, the janitor's wife, and the third member, the dog. In this particular case, we venture the assertion that the conception of the dog is the highest of the three. We quite agree with the editorial moment of the Pittsburg Dispatch which describes the affair as with the law reduced to its lowest uss. Of course the ignorant janitor
the cause for the attack; anything different would not be the course of a white man. Even the yellow journals of this city made capital of the event and by fallacious headlines, sold extra copies—all coded in the disposition of the intelligent at the white trade to carve the adversities of the Negro in stone, and write their virtues on the sand.
Hamply for the Negro race, the incident goes to show the distinct classification of the white man in this country. The offscourings hastened to magnify the affair and brand Mr. Washington as a "peeping Tom"; the other class, whose creation God is not ashamed of, hastened to the recourse of the accused, and put their names and money at his disposal.
We deeply regret that Mr. Washington had to be humiliated as he was in his inferiors, yet we must admire him for his gentlemanly demeanor under such trying circumstances. Meanwhile, we shall watch the outcome of the case.
The Frances E. W. Harper lea-
met. Wednesday afternoon, March 15,

llen, 710 Morgan street. The following

ing will be held on Wednesday, April
in, at the residence of Mrs. A. W.

dent of the league, who with his

good wholesome talks, giving much
encouragement and bidding them
more onward in the noble work

W. L. Lee also spoke very enoug-
hly to the league and bidding them
more onward in the line of
any work of upfit in which it might
engage.

‘The Siamese Cat.
Slamese cats, with their eurigus
markings and loud, discordant rolees,
are favorite pets.
In many respects these antmals of
Siamese breed are unique among fel-
ines. ‘They follow ‘their owners, like
dogs; they Ps cxceedingly aitecton
ate and insist upon attention, and
they mew loudly and constantly, as i
trying to talk. They have mage Tivac
ity and less dignity than usually falls
to the lot of cats,
In color they, vary from pale tawp
through shades of brown to chocolate
There are two varieties, the temple
cats and the palace cats, the prinel
pal difference between the two being
that the palace breed is darker ip

TUSKEGEE TEACHING METRODS
In "Chapters from My Experience, which Booke," T. Washington is contributing to the World's Work; he furnishes a sequel to his Up From Slavery." The latter is a story of a struggle to escape from the repressive conditions into which he was born. The former takes the public into his confidence with respect to his life work, and shows the paths he has followed, sometimes necessarily devoid, but finally bringing him to the goal of success. In the current installment he points out that one of the advantages that his life enjoys as dew to the higher privileges and responsibilities of civilization is that it is not hampered by tradition with respect to educational methods. It has had to break through none of the restraints of fine-spun theories, but can avail itself of any of the processes for mental development that seem best adapted to its particular needs.
When he has completed his story it will make a valuable addition to any educational library. It will benefit those who teach white students as well as instructors of these of his own color, because there is no radical difference in the most effective methods of approach to the comprehension of the two races. In his service as a teacher he has had to learn as well as to instruct. He has even had to grope his way at times, and has frequently profited by hints from the most common anaphthens and things. One sultry day, when just before the recess hour he had been conducting a rather unprofitable lesson in geography, he released his charges for a play spell, which they improved by scampering off to the cooling marches nearby, he going with them. The dullness of the school room with its study atmosphere was replaced by antimiasm in the freedom of the open and as they waded into the cooling water with vague ideas of what they had been trying to learn, they suddenly became discoverers, finding capes, islands and peninsulas navigable streams along which they sent their own argosies, sites for cities and location for manufacturing plants, and in one play-hour they acquired more real knowledge than they could have gained from their books in weeks.
This was in his groping days, but he never lost the inspiration received from that revelation, and has used it ever since as a key to unlock the interest of the dulest pupil. The commencement cration of one of his students last May was open cabbages. It was a subject that he understood and made interesting. He had the product with him on the stage, cabbages of exceptionally fine quality

BOSTON LOSS.
For now eight years a group of colored people in the city of Boston have kept, up a constant and often a senseless agitation of the "color, question." The white people of Boston have been reminded almost daily, in season and out of season, that they have colored people in their midst who are treated differently from the rest of the human family. The agitators have stuck to their job. What is the result? What has Boston gained through this senseless and unwise agitation? Let us examine the facts. Twelve or fifteen years ago the colored people, of Boston were represented in the city council by at least one colored man. Now, unless we are greatly mistaken, they have none. Twelve or fifteen years ago the colo. people usually had at least one colored man in the lower house of the Legislature. Now they have none. Ten or twelve years ago the colored people were represented by having one of their number a member of the city school board; now they have no representation. A few years ago the colored people were even honored by having one of their number a member of the Governor's Council; now they have no such representation. Formerly the colored people of Massachusetts were honored by having one of their number sent as a delegate or alternate to every National Republican Convention; now they are not accorded such representation.
We ask again, what has this insane and blind policy of perpetual agitation gained for the colored people of Boston.—New York Age

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARY
BY GEO. P. NAINS, D. D.
The importance of the Sunday school library in the smaller towns and villages is more marked, than it has ever been, perhaps. There are no bookstores, as a rule, and very few private or public collections of books, and the only literature on sale, as a rule, is the Sunday newspaper, cheap sensational literature and periodicals of an undesirable type. Often there is nothing at all. All the more important, therefore, is it from our point of view that really good books should be provided for the young people whose characters are forming, and that these books should be wisely selected to accomplish the greatest result.
As a rule, there is no one in the school or the community who has sufficient knowledge of the subject, both from the book-seller's point of view and from that of the educational adviser, to make an independent selection. It is doubly incumbent upon the denominational boards, therefore, to do their full share and to face the problem with more knowledge and a better grasp of the conditions; for in the country centres, consequently more time for reading, and the more need for a supply of the right-books. In the old days the books published for young people were, to a large extent, such as would not now be tolerated. The Sunday-school publication societies used to be almost the only source of books for young people and the books issued by them were of a very wooden, character, presenting a type of piety and religious life not in the least, in accordance with the nature of the child. These books were a compound of insipid and sickly sentiment, insignification, and an unchildlike pleth. It is unnecessary to give instances; there are many books now in circulation that exemplify these defects in exaggerated from. By no means all of them come from denominational publishing societies; but there is no excuse nowadays for Sunday-school publishers not knowing what is the right sort of book for the young. It is their business to know the young. It is wanted is good example, fine specimens of natural manly and womanly character, loyal and enthusiastic and adventurous, with the high spirits of youth, high-minded, sincere, sympathetic, above all, natural; not preaching, but fresh and interesting examples of Christianity in action. Action is what young people love; example is what they need, but they do not crave good advice. No duck was ever made whose back would shed water; as a child niru sheds good advice of the ordinary type. It is nauseous to him, to be avoided and shunned when possible, and if it has to be taken, it is taken with a real, if unconscious, determination not to let a morsel of it penetrate. The sympathetic counsel of a personal friend is a different thing.
Unfortunately most of our young people are not in touch, constantly, with a wise, loving and sympathetic friend to exercise an influence for good at every turn. The good effect and lasting value of the best books are incalculable and sometimes the only intellectual and religious help that a young person receives. What, then, are the qualities necessary to constitute the right sort of Sunday-school library book?
There should, in the first place, be a large choice to suit the different tastes and temperaments. Biography is, on many accounts, the best and
IN DOUBLE HARNESS.
Some people think marriage a joke until they try it.
No man is all bad so long as he sincerely and truly loves some woman.
Pouting is pretty in a woman so long as she keeps a twinkle in her eyes.
A woman is sure her husband still loves her just as long as he lets her boss him.
Better to consult your wife than to insult her.
How is it possible for a man to know a woman when so few of them know themselves?
People judge a woman by the way her husband dresses.
Man's life is full of ups and downs when there is a new baby in the house.
The woman who can look neat and tidy while doing her own housework is the woman after a man's heart.
Dry goods clerks usually make good husbands; because they know how to deal with women.
He is the best husband who acts as if he were glad to be home.
Just because gray is not becoming to them is no reason why women should not have gray matter in their heads.
We are told that there is no marrying or giving in marriage in heaven, but that does not consign marriage to the other place.
Selfishness is back of most of the little discontents of the family circle.
Nature is the kindest mother of them all.
Sometimes a woman's tongue is her worst enemy.
The man who is cruel to animals would be a brute of a husband.
It requires a whole regiment of lies to defend one little prevarication.
He who stops midway between enough and plenty is far happier than he who gobbles all in sight.
Matrimong is a sort of pressure on the purse-ory nerve.
most instructive reading: A large part of the Bible is biographical. Through biography one can read the history of any age. Above all it is through biography; that the art of living is learned the practice and the commerce of life, and through the lives of people who have played a part in society, and insight into human nature is obtained; but children, as a rule, will not read biography as such, even when sugar-coated. It is, therefore, necessary to make it soluble, so to speak, and to present it is such a form that it can be absorbed. This is accomplished by the fictitious narrative; the life and doings of the boy or man is presented in various aspects, either of individuals or of groups, whose career offers just the sort of fascinating interest the boy craves. In action is found a never-failing interest for them.
Therefore, a large part of the library for young people in the school will be in the form of fictitious narrative just as a large part of the teachings of the Bible is in the form of parable and incident. Along with such books there should be books of a Biblical and religious character, the most interesting missionary narratives and also descriptions of the works of God in nature. The home library, and to a certain extent the high school library, will furnish a certain proportion of books of, mere entertainment and recreation, but this department may be eliminated in the Sunday-school, although there will be legitimately, a fair amount of this element in all the best books for dry, and unattractive. Children must have a ration of sugar as a part of their diet, intellectually as well as physically.
The town library will supply the wants of its patrons, providing they are sound, without much discrimination, and where there is a well conducted and fully equipped public library, the case the Sunday-school library is quite different from what it is in the communities where there is no such source of supply as is the case in the vast source of supply as is the case in the vast proportion of the smaller villages and towns. Wherein does the Sunday-school library differ from the one for the home or the high school? The common school does not teach religion, and on the other hand the Sunday-school does not attempt to include scientific, literary or cultural courses. Both, however, alm at the development and cultivation of high moral character as distinguished from vocational or merely practical equipment looking towards the material things of life.
Before making a selection of books for a Sunday-school library, there should be an intelligent and broad principle of selection so that a reason can be given for any book that is included. The modern Sunday-school library is a very different thing from what is used, to be. Religious people have a much broader and more Catholic conception of even spiritual culture from that of a century ago, and the range of choice is much wider and the understanding of the nature of the child is much more perfect.
It might be well for the denominational houses, which are the largest factor in the selection and distribution of books for Sunday-school libraries to get together on common ground as far as possible and to combine in the effort to circulate the best books and to exclude the unworthy.

Hets the ownership of property to
his exteni: that ho waite person shall
eside on aay block where the major
ty of residents are colored and that
a0 colored -people shall reside in a
vlock where, the white péople are in
najority. John Mitchell, editor of
be Richmond Planter, and president
xf the Machanles Savimgs bank, led
je opposition to this proposed law,
Nicett is meant to {mpede tie progress
at the Negro. He. stated that the
cages is Richmond were well segte-
zated and the increase of the Negro
populaticn was such’ that they had to
spand their territory.

He spoke of the un-Caristian like at
inde o: he law makers, He said
chat the <alPation of the black man’e
cul was according to the doctrines ‘of
ais churet. was as important as taat
2 the white man, and for tat rea:
‘on he ‘had devoted bis life tae last
tivents sears in Christian work among
Negroes. and for which he was not
ashamed. He paid a high tNbute to
vhs vace and impressed the committee
with the fact that ae was eminently
figted in giving his opinion as to the
orth of the Negro im bis develop
ment. He raised @ question concern
ing the buildings now occupied by
Christian movements, which.would be
Affected by the disériminating law.
The cause of this action is because
of the ¢rection cf the $100,000 bank
