PUBLIC HAD SHORT NOTICE. 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. Names of the Contributors.

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. Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperange, Prudence, Courage, Faith. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ASSAULTED TALKS TO 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 We want 1000 new subscribers to the Courier by April 15th, and we will give to the person sending in the most subscriptions by this time.

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. W.M. H. H.

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. NOTICE To Members of State: Federation of Women's Clubs: The annual convention will meet at Bristolton August 16.

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. FIVE CENTS A COPY. thrope friend from the body was tracted by his earnestness and seal and rendered him assistance. 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. BOYS' DORMITORY AT WATERS NORMAL INSTITUTER "What! That school! Certainly. That school is worth more than $1,0,000 to this town." 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.

A prominent white man who is cashier of the bank of that town, when asked by a traveling salesman the standing of the school, said: 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. WHEN A MAN MARRIES BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART AUTHOR OF THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE THE MAN IN LOWER TEN, ETC. TWO 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. THE FIREMAN G. H. H. "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. THE COURIRR CONNELLSVILLE. Burd Lovada Rev. A. H. W. Pulley of Tuskegee Ala; preached at M. Zion Baptist Church Sunday, morning and evening.

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, at the residence of Mrs. Louis L. A- llen, 710 Morgan street.

Siamese cats, with their curious markings and loud, discordant voices, are favorite pets. In many respects these animals of Siamese breed are unique among felines. They follow their owners, like dogs; they are exceedingly affectionate and insist upon attention, and they mew loudly and constantly, as if trying to talk. They have more vivacity and less dignity than usually falls to the lot of cats. In color they vary from pale fawn through shades of brown to chocolate. There are two varieties, the temple cats and the palace cats, the principal difference between the two being that the palace breed is darker in color.

REVIEW Sunday School Lesson for Mar, 26, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper. GOLDEN TEXT—Happy is that people whose God is the Lord. Psa. 14:15. The object of the first century of the divided kingdom and its lessons was to develop and train a people of God, through whom to make the whole world a people of God. Salvation for the individual and for the human race. The united kingdom did a great work in this direction. But the time came when there was danger of its failure. Hence came the divided kingdom, through which there was a double experiment in the development of the kingdom of God. The period covered was about 99 years B.C. 828 to 833. The country was Palestine, within its usual boundaries. The course of development runs in two lines: The royal, the course as represented by the kings, the civil history, and the religious development, represented largely by the prophets. The kingdom of Judah was about half as large as Israel. Its capital was Jerusalem, and the temple was the religious center. Large numbers of the more religious people came to Judah from Israel. Judah was sheltered from attack both the north by Israel's being between them and the nearest and most dangerous enemies, while a desert was a great defense on the south. This position also saved them from close contact with heathenism and its degradations. The leading kings were Rehabam, 17 years; Asa, 40 years; Jehoshaphat, 25 years. Under Asa and Jehoshaphat there were great religious rebellion and religious reforms, alternating with declines. Here was a great struggle between good and evil, and the good seems to have gained. In a few cases there were revelations from God. He did everything he could to keep the people obedient to his laws, and train them in the religious life, that they might be the kingdom of God to bless the world. There were a few prophets of whom little is known save their names. The conflict of religion with evil in Judah, though not ending in complete victory, made a decided gain for the right. Why do we celebrate and praise our forefathers? Not simply because they were stout hearted. Many a freebooter and many a soldier of fortune has been that. It is because they were stout hearted for an ideal, their ideal and ours, civil and religious liberty; and whenever and wherever men and women thus devoted themselves to ideal, and not material things, then the world's heroes are born, and born to be free. Some blessings come to us, not in spite of, but just because of, our hostile environment. The stimulus of hostile climate produces, the rotatent race. When a hostile always smiles and everything is friendly there is no such thing as boredom, discipline, and a saint, tangled race is perpetuated. The man of the temperate zone gives his superior physical vigor, his keeper mental carefulness, his airiness, his inventiveness, very much to the climate conditions under which he lives. He is forced to activity, and so be quickly uninterrupted his life and neighbor of the trout. The Kingdom of Israel 'contained 2400 square miles. It was as much more fertile country than Judah. Its territory lay between Judah and Syria, so that it was in close contact on three sides with heathen nations, who had the activity and physical qualities of tribes which lay expirations into other countries for loyalty. Of the nine kings parallel with the four kings of Judah, it is worth while to remember Jebebiah, in years Omi; Izab, Abad, Jochelol, Abah's heathen queen was the most influential factor in the religious decline. The kingdom was subject to revolutions, and the nine kings of this period belong to five dynasties. The stories of these hero prophets should become familiar in their main incidents to all the children, who can see what brave heroic men can do, when they are in earnest for the right. Elliah preached God Amnighy, his truth, his laws, his power to help, and the absolute necessity of being loyal to him, if the individual of the nation would prosper by a life worth the living. For all of the children, the teacher can make a most profitable review by a plan used by a successful friend. He took a large sheet of heavy paper, say 12 by 15 inches, and drawing a line down the center, on the left hand side, wrote a series of questions in letters, so large as to be easily seen by all the class. On the right side of the line he wrote the answers. These questions were given to the class, and they read the answerstwo three times. Then the paper was folded in the middle, so that the answers were out of sight, while the questions were still before the class, and they were to show how well they had learned the lesson. Such a review can be made very effective. THE COURIER SEWICKLEY SEWICKLEY (By Frank Whitlock) The temporary organization of the Y. M. A. a met at Bethel A. M.

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 The annual lumber cut in the coast forests of Alaska, is about 27,000,000 board feet, mostly spruce.

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.

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.

It's a good thing to tell the truth occasionally, just to keep in practice The story of Lot's wife should be taken with a grain of salt. That we often speak of folks being at odds when they are really trying to get even. Love is blind, but after marriage a man is apt to take an occasional eye opener. Any woman can take a hint—if disguised as a "beauty hint." A single man is doubly attractive—to a spinster. Money is the thing wives look for while husbands sleep. ODD. That we should speak of wading through a dry book. That one should make one's maiden proposal to a widow. That a fellow can be in a girl's presence and yet be "gone." The more we think of some people the less we think of them. Don't be a grouch generator; grouches have no market value. WORDS. "If" divides the hills of hope from the ravines of despair. "Because" is better than logic. It's positively the last word. Wth some, "Love" means matrimony; with others, allimony. Omar said that only a hair divides the false and true. That's a misprint, no doubt. We all know that it's only a matter of a hairpin or two, and a charitable net over all. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

LORE OF PRECIOUS STONES No Woman with Light Eyes Should Ever Be. Induced to Buy Emeralds. It is astonishing that many, women who display excellent taste in their gowning often have no knowledge of what suits them in jewelry. One frequently sees artistic gowns spoiled by the insistent note of an chosen brooch or necklace, and no one thing can so mar the charm of a face as earrings that are unbecoming. Yet it is the rare woman who knows that jewels suit her gown best. Pale blond women choose blood rubies, which only suit to perfection the dark-haired, dark-eyed woman. Rubies Jose mourn of their wonderful charm if worn by a very fair woman. Fair women should remember that the bequeoise stones are the most becoming stones for their type. But they can also wear with distinction caphires and opals, mooch stones and mystals. Rubies, garnets and emeralds, toiases, amber and pink coral should appear to dark women, for they are infinitely becoming to them. * But it is a safe rule to remember one's eyes when one chooses a piece of jewelry. No woman with light eyes should ever be induced to buy emeralds, no matter how beautiful they are. If she does she will find that they steal the light from her eyes, leaving them almost faded. While the woman with dark eyes, if she will wear pink coral, will find that her eyes shine with added brilliance. No fashion in jewelry is more difficult to care well than the present one of earrings. But women wear eyes everywhere that are spotted by these unnecessary ornaments. If they do not suit your style they will add ten years to your age. But if they do they give one an air of immense distinction and elegance. * OCULIST'S NEW DISCOVERY Theory of Process of Vision Is Changed as Result of Series of Experiments. A new discovery with regard to the phenomenon of the sense of sight has been announced by Dr. P. W. Edridge Green, an eminent English authority in visual research. He has found by an interesting series of experiments and tests that the process of vision is not the simple transmission by the nerve plexus to the brain of objects photographed upon the retina. The new discovery in non-technical language amounts to this: In front of the retina there is a small chamber in size of clear liquid which is in constant motion of currents or eddies. Dr. Green finds that this liquid itself contains distinct perceptive nerve power which plays an important part in conveying impressions to the brain. In other words, this wonderful fluid contains liquid nerves, so to speak which transmit to the understanding a considerable part of the impression it receives of color, form, etc. Lobsters Washed Ashore in Storm During the recent storm, which was the worst that has swept the New Brunswick coast, in a number of years thousands of lobsters of all sizes have washed ashore on the North Reach at Rixton. For a distance of several hundred yards a reef was founded on the shore of all sorts of fish including Japanese chaparral of reefs as well as lobsters, which fish cannery may no more than all the traps serve in a season. Thousands of birds of the sea were on the beach eating the soft part of the houses and leaving opplike dwellings which were scarred about in all directions. Although there have been many severe storms but not one no one has been hurt out of this kind many have visited the beach to catch the girls and other birds ravenously, enjoying the feast for them—Lewiston Journal.

By W. H. CRAIGHEAD. Harrisburg, Pa. - The People's forum in this city has won an enviable place among literary organizations by bringing before its members from time to time some of the most distinguished lectures and addresses. Among those who have favored the forum in this capacity are Professors George W. Cook, Kelly Miller, W. Bruce Evans and David F. Kline. At the recent meeting of the forum Mrs. George W. Cook delivered a stirring address on "The Daughters of Men," which proved to be a strong place for the rights of women. Woman's part in the history of civilization was fully outlined and her well earned as well as inherent right to the ballot-inspired union. In part Mrs. Cook said. In the rebuilding of ancient Jerusalem women took a part, but the historian rarely dared upon them to sleep in a room so small that it recalled by all womankind. The incident is but typical of what has been taking place in the world throughout all ages and cultures. The small, simple deed has been wrought, however the march of progress has been least disturbed, wherever individual thought and actions of women of open have ever been at work. Even primitive woman while her better half was as yet only a huntsman or fish-keeper, had been prepared the incels and in her lonely cave or but had the foundation for the refined, domestic life and perfectly appointed house, are a part of our present civilization. Even religion would lose half its significance if the feminine character had no part in its composition. Pharmacists, who are the daughters, head beds low over the ark of bulrushs, and Moses is saved to lead the children of Israel from the land of apple, and Eden is lost to man, but Mary becomes the mother of Jesus, and the mother of good will is offered to all the world. Mrs. Cook cited many of the prominent figures of history. Semirani, Zenobia, Hypatia, Caligula, were full, she said, forerunners of the women of the nineteenth century. Coming down to our own times, she declared, "Abraham, Lincoln's pen only finished in the emancipation-proclamation what Harriet Beecher Stowe's had begun in "Uncle Tom's Cabinet." Strange and sad as it may seem, it is yet true that the daughters of men through all these ages have been the victims of man made customs and traditions and subordinate to man made statutes and governments. While her work and self-sacrifice made humorous the history of civilization, her long-hame subjection is one of the darkest prices in all the great volume. All that women ask is equality of opportunity. It is a cruel and wicked thing to test off in individual or class from progress and development that Mental development and the full enjoyment of the exercise of all the privileges of citizenship were of great importance to the exclusion of the other half, while the happiness to be found in a life of action and usefulness is incomparably superior to the happiness to be found in a life of rest. Not only is it injustice of women, themselves to withhold from them their rights, but it is also an injustice to the ballot and affected more or less favorably according to the intelligence and conscience of those who are voters. No woman is more vulnerable to the frame and municipal suffrage are all very well, but suffrage on identically the ground that man holds it, is the demand of the right to vote. Sooner or later, the equality of rights controls the rotation of men and women many another evil is bred. The Industrial, legal, social and political rights of women differ from their balteal influence. Women themselves have been slow to grasp this truth, but no thoughtful woman should fail to perceive that the industries she trades and the professions, never even in the home except as the goodness of individual man gives it, will they be accorded fair play until they obtain the No better argument can be offered in favor of woman's suffrage than results where the system already obtains. South Australia and New Zealand, for example, and Utah have none of them become denominalized, under this natural system, but on the contrary, seem to flourish as the green bay tree. Would that the women of race race be allowed to be women of other races in joining the vanguard who will blaze the path for others to follow. It is always the few—the next age makes them the immortal few—who lead in any great reform. It is always the fear for the final outcome of the woman question. The cause for which we plead is so light and so just that it is very types of victory. Stewar, Gets Liberian Judgeship. Friends of Counselor T.

CONDEMNED BY HIS RACE; NEGROES DEPRECATE CRIME SPARTANBURG, S. C., RACE LEAD ERS DEPLORE ACTION. OF COLORED MAN ASK PRESS FOR PUBLICITY Negroes. Show Their Hatred For one of the Race by Adopting. Saint Anthony, S. C.—(Special)—When the exploring the occurrence here when a Negro attempted to commit criminal assault upon the person of a well known and prominent white woman of this city, and realizing the fact that such a crime not only reflected on the guilty Negro, but upon the entire race as well, and desiring to publicly denounce the savage criminal, the pastor and congregation of Trinity, African Methodist church, a Negro church of this city, has passed resolutions and requested that they be given on the same publicity that the crime itself as using the criminal an ignorant and demanded one of the lowest and least type and not in anywise like the intelligent, industrious and law-abiding Negroes the resolutions deprecate such an attentive gravely. The efforts of the Negroes to show their halted for such a member of their race close as follows: Whereas, the city and county acted with so much coolness and respect for law and order under such trying circumstances as those of Saturday last. Whereas, so often in other places, for similar attempts the criminal is lynched and the law deprived of its rights and. Whereas we believe ourselves to be voicing the sentiments of many lawhiding Negroes throughout Christendom, be it. Resolved: That we tender our thanks to the sheriff, officers and citizens of Shartanburg for their regard for law and order under such a prehensible and blood stirring occurrence as that of last Saturday and further be it. Resolved that we tender our sincere sympathy to the attacked parties and wish for them a speedy recovery, and be it. Resolved that we hope for a speedy trial of the guilty party and that justice be meted him by the strong arm of the law. SCHIFF PRAISES WASHINGTON.

RICHMOND FIGHTING SEGREGATION FARMERS CONFERENCE BENEFICIAL Richmond, Va. — (Special) — The council committee on ordinance, charter and reform of this city, by a unanimous vote recommended to the city council, the Vonderlehr race segregation ordinance for this city, which restricts the ownership of property to this extent; that no white person shall reside on any block where the majority of residents are colored and that no colored people shall reside in a block where the white people are in majority. John Mitchell, editor of the Richmond Planter, and president of the Machanics Savings bank, led the opposition to this proposed law, which is meant to impede the progress of the Negro. He stated that the ages is Richmond were well segregated and the increase of the Negro population was such that they had to expand their territory. Ikev Father Hannigan, who is doing a great work among Negroes in the city, made remarks against the recommendation that were significant. He spoke of the un-Caribian like attitude of the law makers. He said that the salvation of the black man's soul was according to the doctrines of his church, was as important as that of the white man, and for that reason he had devoted his life the last twenty years in Christian work among Negroes, and for which he was not ashamed. He paid a high tribute to this race and impressed the committee with the fact that he was eminently fitted in giving his opinion as to the worth of the Negro in his development. He raised a question concerning the buildings now occupied by Christian movements, which, would be affected by the discriminatory law. The cause of this action is because of the erection of the $100,000 bank building on Clay street, of which John Mitchell, is president, and colored people moving into that street. The colored people are determined to fight the ordinance upon its passage in the council—Geo. P. King. WHITE MAN'S HOPE NOT-NEEDED Nashville Christian Advocate Desirea No Repetition of Reno Nashville. Tennessee.—(Special).—The Nashville Christian Advocate says, "If the press dispatches are to be relied upon, the sporting men of Oklahoma are training a pugstier for the purpose of wrestling the championship, belt from Jack Johnson, the Nero who defeated Jimi James. Of course the white sports did not expect Johnson to win, and when he did the unsportmanlike manner with which the 'dead games' received the news added volume to the disgust already manifested by the millions of people who look with disfavor upon such encounters, especially between men of different races. The defeat of Jeffries and the victory of Johnson has nothing to do with the superiority of one race or the inferiority of the other. The white race is not chlamming for hope to recover the belt. It was simply a case of one man's having the boxing's skill, the ability to endure pain, the ability to dodge the other fellow's blows, and the strength to hit him hard at a psychological moment. It that had been the end of it, it would not have been so bad. A repetition is not to be desired now, and the people of Oklahoma owe it to the world at large, if not to them selves, to see that it does not occur in their state. Public sentiment should be such, especially where the color line is so rigidly drawn, as to make even the suggestion of a duplication of the Reno encounter decidedly unpopular." SURGEON'S RACE TESTS FAIL. Line on Finger Nail Only Sign A Baltimore. Md. Girl Is of Negro Origin. Baltimore. Md.—(Special.)—In an endeavor to determine scientifically the race of a child, staff physicians at Johns Hopkins Hospital made an examination of Laelia Letridge, 11 years old, who is trying to obtain her free dom from a Negro institution where she has remained for nearly seven years. The examination was made to determine for to satisfaction of the court, in which a wife of habeas, corpus has been sworn out, whether the girl is a Caucasian or a Negro. The physical characteristics watch it is claimed indicate the presence of Negro blood played a large part in the examination, but it was said all the accepted tests save one had failed. That one is the presence of a black line across one of the girl's nails just around the arc known as the "half moon." The presence of the black line, according to the doctors, is not conclusive, but only raises a suspicion as to the ancestry His Reason. He died at the untimely age of 55. Untimely!

SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1911 NORTH CAROLINA NEGROES LISTENED TO MANY ABLE ADDRESSES AT CONVENTION. Greenesboro, N. C.—(Special.)—The largest number of Negro farmers that was ever assemble at one place, in North Carolina, for their peculiar interest met in the second annual Farmer's conference at the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical college for the colored race in this city. Dr. James B. Dudley, the president of this excellent institution, is a potent factor in the farmers' activities in his state and this enthusiastic meeting, that was highly beneficial, is due largely to the great work of Doctor Dudley. Every section of the state was represented. Lectures the first day were by Professor Conover, of the state department of agriculture and Doctor Flower, assistant state veterinarian. Among the farmers who spoke during the afternoon of the first day were: J. K. Lytle and S. W. Slade. Their talks were practical and excited much good. The sessions on the second day were given over to lectures and practical demonstrations. In the foreword lectures were given by Professor Conver and Doctor Flowe. The farmers were deeply interested in a clinic of sick animals which was held by Doctor Flowe. Following an address by C. R. Hudson, state agent for the farmers' cooperative demonstration work, Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, D. C., the farmers' expressed themselves on various phases of farm activities. W. R. Richardson of Anson county, said that during the past year he had made on 20 acres of land 16 bales of cotton; 200 bushels of corn; 170 bushels of wheat; 190 bushels of oats and sold $100,00 worth of hogs. S. W. White of Cararrus county, proved himself to be witty and yet philosophical. He in part said: "My motto is never let your wagon break down going away from town, but let it break down, going to town with things to sell." The third day was "Seed Corn Day." The following prominent men gave practical and comprehensive lectures that absorbed the attention of every farmer to the extent that made many queries: C. R. Hudson, state agent; Professor Burgess from the state department of agriculture; Professor Sherman, state antonomist; Professor C. K. Graham of Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, and Mr. Long, a farmer trustee of the institution, but now connected with the department of agriculture, in charge of the farmers' cooperative demonstration work. The last day the cardinal features were the lectures of Doctor Steward of the National department of agriculture; two lectures on spraying and spraying mixtures by Professor Sherman - George F. King. CANADIANS STOP NEGROES. Not Allowed to Cross Into the Dominion of Canada From United States. Washington. D. C.—(Special)—State department officials are inclined to believe that too broad a construction has been given to the action of Canadian officials at Winnipeg in stopping a party of Negroes from the United States who sought to cross the boundary into Canada. It is believed that if such action was taken, it was based upon objections to the individuality of the party if it should appear, however, that the administration has decided to exclude a whole class of American citizens because of their color, the state department would probably feel called upon to protest. COLOR LINE IN RELIGION. Conference Decides That Disciples of the Lowly Nazarine Cannot Mix With Negroes. Washington, D. C.—(Special)—At the intensive conference of the Salvation Army, held in the First Congregational church, a decision was practically reached that the welfare of the organization, particularly in the South, demanded a separation of the white and colored workers. A spitified debate ensued when the question was broached: whether either segregate claimed for segregation, while those from the North vigorously oppose the revolutionary course. As an outcome steps will be taken to organize a Negro Salvation Army in the South, with a full equipment of Negro officers from top to bottom. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. It is not generally known, but to prevent takes from burning, place a little bean at the bottom of the tins. This will save a lot of grumbling and vexation. If shoes have been thoroughly wet do not attempt to dry them near the store. Rub in plenty of vaseline or plain lard, and let them stam in a cool place several days, and much of the original oil will be restored. Try rubbing soap and chalk mixed on the mildewed spots in clothing. Soldled velvet collars may be cleaned by scraping, a little pipe clay or French chalk over them. Then brush off with a stiff brush. A teaspoonful of lemon juice to a quart of water will make rice very white, and keep the grains separate when boiled. If kept in a cup and covered with cold water, eggs of water will keep trephin several days. When frozen in milk, gas plaque two top of each side, then put one on top of each of them. This will heat four irons on one burner. Cold water, a tablespoonful of ammonia and soap will remove machine greese where other means would not answer on account of color running.
