THE PITTSBURGH COURIER VOL. II. NO. 18. REGARDED AS PEOPLE'S FORUM Large and Influential Church in Baltimore Makes New Financial Record by Raising $6,510.31 at Rally—Founded Over a Century Age—Pastored by Many FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Baltimore—Bethel A. M. E. church recently closed one of the most remarkable rallies—ever held in a Baltimore church 'the rally opened when the congregation moved into its $90,000 home, Druid Hill avenue and Lanale street. Churches of all denominations joined in the effort to make the rally a success, and of the $6,510.31 raised $2,117.46 was contributed by other churches and societies. Bethel church is one of the oldest congregations in the country. It had Pastor its inception in 1785, when a number of colored men withdrew from the M. E. church. When it was incorporated in 1811 the membership was 600. Rev. Daniel Coke, who was the leading spirit in the early activities of the church, was at it one time elected to the bishopric, but declined the office. The church grew in numbers and influence, and on or about its fifthth anniversary the congregation erected on Saratoga street what was considered for many years the finest church structure owned by colored people in this country. The edifice seated over 2,200 people and were it not for the fact that the colored population had drifted to the northwest section of the city and that other churches had been set apart by Bethlehem, the congregation would still be located in its old home. Nearly every movement of any importance to the colored people in this city and state had its inception in Bethlehem, and for many years it was recorded as the forum of the people. Among its pastors have been the foremost men of the denomination. These men include the late Bishops HISTORICAL M. E. CHURCH Daniel A. Bypen, John M. Browne, James A. Shipman, A. W. Wayne, and Edward Waters. Theodore G. Sturge- ward, retired, chaplain of the U.S. States string of Bibles James A. H dry, Benjamin T. Tanner, C. T. Sha- fer and Loyl J. Coppa and John Hurst, financial secretary of the de- nomination. The negotiations for the present new home of the church were begun during the pastorate of Rev. A. L. Gaines. When Rev. D. G. Hill became pastor of the church the negotiations were resumed with the result that a piece of property that cost $125,000 to build was secured for $50,000. Dr. Hill, the present pastor, is a native of Hagerstown, Md. After receiving a preliminary training in the schools of that city and at Storer college, Harpers Ferry, W. Va., he entered Lincoln university, where he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1886. Among the members of that class were Harry W. Bass, a member of the present Pennsylvania legislature, Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore. Dr. Hill then entered the theological school of his alma mater, graduating in 1883. During the twenty years he has been a member of the Baltimore conference he has been regarded as one of its most influential members. He has served as pastor of the Metropolitan church, Washington; presiding elder of the Hagerstown district, and pastor of the Trinity and Bethel churches, Baltimore. He served a number of years as secretary of the conference and for the past five years has been treasurer of the same. He is regarded as a model minister of irreproachable character. Dr. Hill has a large family, presided over by Mrs. Margaret Peck Hill, one of the most active religious workers in the state. COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY. President Miller and D. M. Webster Gina Foster Attorney at Alzheimers Give Facts About Amalgamation. The subject for discussion at the April meeting of the Cosmopolitan society in Brooklyn was the "Blending of Japhetic and Hamillic Blood In the Southern States." President George Frazier Miller presided and in the course of his introductory remarks cited many cases of which he knew in Charleston, S. C., New Orleans and other southern cities where amalgamation has been practical for generations and exhibited over fifty photographs showing the various types of progenic amalgamation, which varied from the Indian to the blue eyed Anglo-Saxon type. He told of a family in Charleston where one brother was white and the other colored, and yet the family recognizes each of them. Counselor D. M. Webster, the next speaker, said that at the close of the war there were 4,000,000 of known colored people and thousands whose identity has never been accurately recorded. This question of color, said he, is no longer confined to the south. The north is becoming more and more intensified each day. Especially is this condition seen in Boston, the very cradle of liberty and justice. The tendency to cater to the prejudice of the south in public places has increased with alarming rapidity. New York is the largest southern city in this country, and its influence as such is plainly seen and felt. There are more southern people in New York, than any other city in the United States, and they have brought their hysterical prejudices with them. While the arts, etc., have been more highly developed by the lighter races, to the darker races belong poetry, music and spirituality. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT FOR CITIZENS OF ST. LOUIS. Educators to Hold Eighth Annual Convention There July 26-30. Unusual interest is being taken at this early date in the forthcoming eighth annual convention of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, to be held in St. Louis from Wednesday, July 26 to 30. Inclusive. The convention will be the guest of the city teachers, who will act as a reception committee. Professor R. H. Cole, principal of the Simmons school, is chairman of the committee. Summer high school, in which the sessions of the convention will be held, is admirably adapted for such gatherings. The fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington is to be one of the principal speakers has created new interest in the work of the association, and the attendance will doubtless exceed that of former years. The officers of the association are President, W. T. B. Williams, agent of the Slater fund, Hampton, Va.; vice presidents, Imanan E. Page, president of A. and M. college, Langston, Okta; N. B. Young, president of A. and M. college, Tallahassee, Fla.; L. S. Clark, president of Baton Rouge college, Baton Rouge, La.; F. L. Williams, principal of Superior high school, St. Louis, and I. M.

Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith. PITTSBURG, PA., APRIL 22, 1911. GENERAL GRAN'TS GRAND CELEBRATION At Loendi Club to be Grand Affair Hon. Wm. Lewis And Judge Terrill Speakers The committee on Grant's banquet at Loondi club of which Attorney Frank R. Steward is chairman, expects this banquet to surpass any previous efforts, and from the number of members already enrolled to attend no doubt it will be the largest attended affair ever given at the club. The committee is certainly to be congratulated in securing the Hon. William Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States and the Hon. HON. WILLIAM H. LEWIS, ASSISTANT AT-TORNEY GENERAL. Judge Robt. Terrill of Washington, D.C., as speakers. Mr. Lewis holds the highest position in the United States Government ever held by a colored man. Mr. Lewis is a graduate of Harvard college, famous in that college not only as a scholar of high rank, but as a foot ball player and coach, and until appointed to his pres ent position by President Taft was assistant district attorney in Boston, Mass. WHAT SHALL WE HOPE FOR? Hard Labor and Pluck Will Win Where Other Things Fall. It is true that we have seen the dawn of a new century and of course we have seen the age of progress; yet the greater majority of the race to which I am identified is far away from being progressive. If we fail to unite ourselves, if we fail to work for the common good or interest of each other what shall we hope for? Progress does not come by luck, neither by leaning upon corners of streets or by gossiping, but it comes by hard labor and pluck. Stratagem is not the method for a poor race to reach the topmost pinnacle. We should remember that time lost is never regained; it is best to always be up and a doing. Do something that is good and helpful to bring about reformation among our people, especially in our city. We cannot expect to be progressive and the majority of our people are yet in the slums. We want work, real work; work that after it's done we can see righteous fruit. It is the outlook brighter for a better day among our people? Can the leaders of the people truthfully say that they are doing all they can to bring the race up from the slums? How many young men and women have you rescued and led up to a higher life? Progress does not come by talking, but it comes by continual work in the right direction. If progress must come by work, true work, then to make effective our labor, prejudice among us must be wiped out, especially among the leaders, or else our labors will be in vain. We cannot go up the ladder of progress when the leaders, or a part of them, are doing such things that will impede the progress. If the educators will allow prejudice to override their intelligence, what will become of those who have never rubbed their heads against a college wall. Facts are being brought to light each day by the work and action of our people. The majority of our people must be reformed or else progress is hindered. Shall we hope for a thing when we are not working but it? We are living in places where there are thousands of children who need to be rebuilt. Each one has a soul to be saved or one to be lost, can we reach them? Yes, we can do by initiating our efforts. Let every leader examine and work with each other. This will go when we have a brother Simon, and so forth. We have found the Messiah which is home in the Christ. The captain and district children must be redeemed before the leaders of the people can truthfully say that they have performed their righteous duty. It harks the heart of the ambitious ones of our race who are looking forward to a better day, to see the many thousands of Sabbath breakers among the race. What shall the race hope for when the supreme command has been omitted?—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. HOW OUR REPRESENTATIVES VOTED BASS'S RACE BILL FAILED DISGRACE TO STATE NOT TO PASS. ATTENTION! MERCHANTS! To do or not to do may be yours as you may choose, but it is the man that "does things" today that succeeds. If you are in business, and don't want the other fellow to run away with your trade, this Age requires you to keep before the public always, and the success of such Big Departments Stones as Bonnie Neiman, 1405 Fifth Avenue, and Kaufman's, Fifth Avenue and Smithfield Street, are due to their extensive advertising of their goods and prices that attract the trade. You have got to spend money to make money, or sooner or later you will be forced to the wall. If the merchants of this city want more patronage of the colored people, we have the medium, circulation and paper that reaches the home. It's the only real newspaper the Race has ever had in Pittsburgh. Incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania and entered at the Post Office as second-class matter. Its circulation is growing weekly, and has men back of it who have the reputation of making good—that's why the Courier is a success. OPEN DAY AND NIGHT BELL PHONE 5873 R. GRANT FOR GOOD THINGS STOP AT THE COLONIAL G. M. ROBB, PROP. GOOD EATING DRINKING SMOKING SLEEPING SERVICE 1300-1302 Wylie Ave. Pittsburg, Pa. Just as was expected the good and faithful Republican representatives, who hold their seats at the expense of the Negro vote, best a hasty retreat from the House the other day when the Bass Amendment came up for a vote. All praise is to be given Mr. Bass for his many courage in standing by his Amendment; but the wholesale assertion by our Republican representatives has placed them on record for all time. Nor was the Amendment killed for want of Democratic support. Mr. Bass was assured by Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Embody that they would vote for his measure; and they did. Then these Democrats could cast their vote for a measure of interest to the Negro who has always been taught to oppose the Democratic party, the hypocrysis of the Republicans assumes double proportion. Our good friends from Allegheny county played their parts LADIES AID CLUB HOLD BIG MEETING LADIES AID CLUB HOLD BIG MEETING AT BRADDOCK, PA. The Home for Destitute Colored Children, erected and maintained by the State Federation of Negro Women's clubs, received another helping hand last Sabbath, when the Moving Star Ladies Aid of Braddock, held their annual meeting at the Corey Avenue A. M. E. church. An excellent program was arranged, including recitations, addresses and sermons, interspersed with musical selections of high order. Among those taking part in the program were the Rev. W. H. Washington, Mrs. Annie Lewis, Mrs. Fannie Nevils, Mrs. M. C. Hamilton, Mrs. Sadie Jackson, Mrs. Dedhla Green, Mrs. Bortha Howard and Mrs. Anna Dorsey of Homestead. The legal profession was represented by Attorney R. L. Vann of Pittsburgh, while Rev. J. E. Morris, pastor of the Corey A. M. E. church, and Dr. J. H. Dwelle, pastor of the New Hope Baptist church, Braddock, spoke for the clergy. Rev. Morris was called upon to render the annual sermon for the ladies, and acquitted himself nobly. Dr. Dwelle furnished the spice of the program in a well directed discourse upon the work of the good women, while Attorney R. L. Van, who knows the history of the organization from its beginning, enlightened upon the importance of a well directed charity. Mrs. Nellie Williams, the president of the club, was ably assisted by Mrs. Green and Mrs. Neville. The Bruddock choir was at its best under the Easter inspiration, and sang with telling effect. A good collection was taken to further the work of these zealous women in their efforts to provide for the unfortunate of our race. DIED Rev. Elijah Lewis Jasper died at 3:50 p. m. Monday, April 17, 1911, at his home, 119 Monitor street, North Side. The body was removed to the underfaking parlor of A. L. Ballard to be prepared for interment. Rev. Jasper had served for fifty-five years in the ministry, being the oldest Baptist minister in Western Pennsylvania. In his thirty years' service in the Pittsburgh district he has organized many churches. Funeral services have been arranged for Monday, April 24, at 12 m., at the Rodman Street Baptist church, East End, of which he was a member. Friends from all churches are invited to attend. Had to Talk About It. "Did you enjoy the opera?" "No, I didn't hear it." "Why not?" "Two women seated next to me kept telling each other how they adored music." nobly by leaving their seats in order to evade the issue. This is very encouraging to us Negroes of Allegheny county. We will remember the Lutherbeth next time. Mr. Schad of the North Side did not vote at all, neither did Mr. Swann; while Mr. Rath had the ment. Credit must be given Speaker Cox, Allen, Alter, Halffery and Geary, who stood up like real Republicans for the Amendment, but they did not control the majority. This is the first time the sincerity of the Republicans has had a test, and we need no further proof of the so-called loyalty of the Republican party. The Negro will have to be shown better and more substantial evidence of a bona fide interest than that manifested in the Bass Amendment before he will follow the red fire of Republican, campaign leaders any more. Not that we love the Republican party less; but our rights more. JOHN W. ROSEMOND. Mr. Rosemond is one of the most progressive young business men that the Race can boast of in Greater Pittsburg. He is recognized as a past master as stenographer, two writer and clerk of the Republican headquarters, where he has been found for the past 22 years whenever a campaign is on. He is considered a very valuable asset to the leaders of the Republican organization in every campaign, and there is nothing along the detail line with which he is not familiar that gets results desired by them. He has put this same energy into his printing business that has made him such an important factor in the office force of the Republican organization, and he has now about as complete a printing plant, with latest type, presses (run by electricity) and conveniences to give the public prompt and efficient services, of its size in Pittsburg. He has a suite of three rooms on the first floor, 411 Fourth avenue, and two rooms on the second floor and is prepared to do anything along the printing, writerpressing and addressing line. Mr. Rosemond is a product of Pittsburg and is certainly making his mark in the business world, and deserves your patronage for giving the public such an up-to-date printing establishment. High Ideals of Thrifty Afro-Americans Examplified In Their Domestic En- vironment—Prominent Real Estate Dealer? Whose Rise In the Gemmical World Has Been Phenomenal. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. BY GEORGE FRANCI KING BILCHOR, Va. A large percentage of the Afro-American people, of this city are purchasing homes with modern improvements. These homes are a credit to any city and show that the race is far from being of a nomadic type, as some people seem to think. The education of the average Afro-American in Richmond is such that makes his ideals exemplified in his domestic environment. Some years ago the white real estate dealers, realized the opportunity afforded them in seeking business among the colored citizens and put it to good use. Today energetic young Afro-Americans are entering the real estate field with decided success. The Mechanics' Savings bank is doing a large business, and next to the bank is the business of a young man who recently returned to Richmond to enter the real estate business. Mr. B. A. Cephas represents the highest type of trained and progressive young men of affairs. He was born in New York of Virginian parents, but his mother died when he was an infant, and he was brought to Virginia by kind relatives. He received his education in the schools of this city, and after graduating from the high school he secured positions that prepared him for commercial pursuits. After serving as clerk in the True Reformer's office for two years he decided to become more actively engaged in the insurance business, which was then on the boom among the race in Virginia. With only a few dollars he went to Newport News, Va., which was then B. A. CEPHAS being made a fertile field for ambitious homesekers, and interested the leading business men of the race in that city to organize an insurance company, which was incorporated as the Newport News Insurance company. Under the skillful management of this young man its business became large and as president and manager of the company he became one of the most prominent insurance men in the south. Some years later his company was merged with the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, and he was made third vice president and had charge of the business in the tidal water section of the state. Mr. Cephas, with several others, then promoted a building loan association, and he served for a number of years as its secretary. Being endowed with the ability to promote enterprises he made himself a promoter and started a first class steam laundry. Finding that his other interest required his undivided attention, he sold out the laundry and invested more heavily in real estate. Seeing the need of such a man is Richmond, a number of the leading business men of the race in this city requested him to come to Richmpd. because it was a great commercial center and its Afro-American citizens were stanch supporters of the many new enterprises in the city. He decided to come and arrived here in the spring of 1010 and at once opened a real estate office, where he is now doing a successful business. This is due to his business qualifications and keen perception. Mr. Cephas is handling the kind of property which shows the high-skills of the race in Richmond. His wife is a modest business woman who is deeply interested in the success of the enterprise. Mr. and Mrs. Cephas have five children to brighten their home. Through his business Mr. Cephas is reaching a large number of young men and interesting them in buying homes. Summer School and Chautauqua. Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training school, Dupasam, N. C., has outlined a splendid course of instruction for the coming session of the summer school and Chautauqua, which will open on Wednesday morning, July 5. FIVE CENTS A COPY WATCHMAN FOR AFRO-AMERICAN Danger In Scheme to Elect Seators by Direct Vote of Peop PRESENT LAW SHOULD RE Should the Defeated Measure Come Up Again In the House It Be the Duty of Colored America Register Their Unqualified P. Against Its Passage. The proposed amendment to constitution providing for the elec of United States senators by vote of the people was "beaten frazzie" in the closing hours of late congress. But the light for dangerous measure has not be abandoned. It is therefore incumben upon Negroes throughout the entire country to be on the alert and to register their protests by letter and by personal interviews with representatives in both branches of congress whenever this resolution is reintroduced, as it certainly will be. Should it prevail the colored man, not the white man, will be the principal sufferer, for it is aimed dire at the former in the southern sta and its purpose is to minimize fluence as a political integer mately to eliminate him political equation. The wo in the eleven southern white people. The election of Uni torns from that sectio of the people is not stood that any con the black people real majority in either be comprehended or such elections. The constitution of the United States speaks in language clear enough on this subject, for it specifically prescribes how senators shall be chosen and makes it plain that if such election of senators is not in conformity with the provisions of the federal constitution "congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations except as to the place of choosing senators." But the manner of holding such election is written in the constitution, and no other way can be substituted therefor, until the repeal of that section of article 1 bearing upon the times, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives in congress. It is not in the power of one out of ten, or of 100, or of all the citizens of a state to annul an act of congress, because the constitution of the United States and an act in pursuance of it is a supreme law of that state and binding upon every citizen of that state, and every citizen must act at his peril. The federal constitution therefore is the supreme law of this land. The thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are equally supreme, because they have been legally incorporated into the body of it and must either be enforced or repealed. Hence there can be no election of United States senators by direct vote of the people until the people repudiate the present law by which United States senators for over a hundred years have been chosen. I for one do not believe that the people are ready to repeal any part of the present constitution, and so have no serious apprehensions with respect to this latest scheme to delegate to the people a power which they wisely delegated to their political leaders when the constitution was ratified and adopted. At the same time we should not forget that "external vigilance is the price of liberty" and from this time forth should keep tabs on legislation at Washington and on senators and congressmen. Idea of Establishing Savings Bank in New York Heartily Approved. The Amsterdam News, New York city, is rendering the race valuable service by its advocacy of a penny savings bank to be located in Harlem, where the great bulk of the Afro-American population resides. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, contributing editor to the News, pointed out very clearly in a recent issue of that paper the economic value of saving on a small scale. The idea is feasible and should meet the hearty approval of our people throughout Greater New York and vicinity. Most all churches, secret societies and business concerns have bank accounts. Thousands of dollars are collected in these institutions weekly, and their monthly footings would be astonishing if brought together and deposited in one common coffer. Let the race get together in New York and husband its resources so as to give employment to capable young men and women—Dodson. Business Interests Consolidated. The managers of the Yonkers Standard and League Journal, edited by Paul H. Bryn and Samuel J. Davis, at Yonkers and New Rochelle, N. Y., respectively, have consolidated their business interests and will in the future issue one paper under the name of the Standard Journal. In union there is strength. May the consolidated remain solid.

You are really quite superb. Who made that gown? "Where have you been hiding, duckling? Max whispered, under cover of showing me the evening paper, with a photograph of the house and a poster at the cellar window where we had tried to escape. If one day in the house with you, Kit, put me in this condition, what will a month do? From beyond the curtain of a sort of alceve, lighted with a red-shaded lamp, came a hum of conversation. Bella's cool, even tones and a heavy masculine voice. They were laughing. I could feel my chin go up. He was not even hiding his slump. "Max, I asked, while the others clamored for him and the game, 'This any one been up through the house since dinner? Any of the men?' He looked at me curiously. "Only Harbison," he replied promptly. "Jim has been eating his heart out in the den ever since dinner. Dall played the "Sonata Apassionata" backward on the plumph—he wanted to put through one of Anne's fingerwaists, on a wager that it would play a tune; I played craps with Lollie, and Flannigan has been washing dishes. Why?" Well, that was conclusive, anyhow. I had had a laint hope that it might have been a joke, although it had me all the evidences of sincerity, certainly. But it was just doubting it; he had lain in wait for me at the landing, and had kissed me, me, when he thought I was Jimmy's wife. Oh, I must have been very light, very contemptible, if that was what he thought of me! I went into the library and got a book, but it was impossible to read, with Jimmy lying on the couch living vent to something between a sligh and a groove every few minutes. About 11 the cards stopped, and Hella said she would read palms. She began with Mr. Harbison, because she declared he had a wonderful hand, full of posabilities: She said he should have been a great inventor or a playwright, and that his attitude to women was one of homage, respect, almost revenge. He had the courage to look at me, and if a glance could have killed he would have withered away. When Jimmy proffered his hand, she looked at it斜ly. Of course, she could not refuse, with Mr. Harbison looking on. "Rather negative," she said coldly. The lines are obscured by cushions of flesh, no heart line at all, mentality small, self-indulgence and irritability very marked." Jim held his palm up to the light and stared at it. "Gad!" he said. "Hardly safe, for me to go around without gloves, it." It was all well enough for Jim to laugh, but he was in hurry. He stood around for a few minutes, talking to Anna, but as soon as he could he slid away and went to bed. He looked at the lady the morning as though he had just shook and his clothes quite tangle on him. He was actually thirsty. And that is ahead of the story. Max came to me while the others were sitting around drinking mugs and asked me in a low tone if he could see me in the den. He wanted to ask me something. Did he re-ward, "Ask her here," he said. "We all know what it is, Max. Go ahead and we'll coach you." "Will you coach me?" I asked, for Mr. Harbison was listening. WATERS "Don't—Let—Her—In—this—Room Again." A "The woman does not need it." Dal retorted. And then, because Max looked angry enough really to propose to me right there, I got up hastily and went into the den. Max followed, and closing the door, stood with his back against it. "Contrary to the general belief, Kit," he began, "I did not intend to ask you to marry me." I breathed easier. He took a couple of steps toward me and stood with his arms folded, looking down at me. "I'm not at all sure, in fact, that I shall ever propose to you," he went on unpleasantly. "You have already done it twice. You are not going to take those back, are you. Max?" I asked, looking up at him. But Max was not to be cajoled. He came close and stood with his hand on the back of my chair. "What happened on the roof tonight?" he demanded urgently. I do not think it would interest you. I returned, in spite of myself. "Not interest me!" I shout in this blasted noog. I have to see the only woman I ever loved really loved. He impatient, as he caught my eye. "Present, she is another man's wife. Thip I sit book and watch her usurp every art-sell her beauty-to make with another girl. how her, a man who thinks she is a marrié woman. If Harbison, were worth the trouble. I would tell him the whole story. Hunt Solim be-obliterated." I sat up suddenly. "If Harbison were worth the trouble." I repeated. What did he mean? Had he seen "I mean just this." Max said slowly. "There is only one unaccredited member of this household: Only one person, save Flannigan, who was locked in the furnace room, one person who was awake and around the house when Anne's jewels want, only one person in the house, also, who would have any motive for the theft." "Motive?" I asked dully. "Poverty?" Max threw at me. "Oh, I mean comparative poverty, of course. Who is this fellow, anyhow? Dah WATERS "Don't—Let—Her—In— knew him at school, traveled with him through India. On the strength of that he brings him here, quarters him with decent people, and wonders when they are systematically robbed." "You are unjust!" I said, rising and facing him. "I do not like Mr. Harbison—I hate him, if you want to know. But as to his being a thief, I think it quite as likely that you took the necklace." Max threw his cigarette into the fire angrily. "So that is how it is," he mocked. "If either, of us is the thief, it is If You do hate him, don't you?" I left him, there, flushed with irritation, and joined the others. Just as I entered the room, Batty burst through the hall door like a cyclone, and collapsed into a chair. "She's a mean, cantankerous old woman!" she declared, feeling for her handkerchief. "You can take care of your own Aunt Selina, Jim Wilson. I will never go near her brain." "What did you do? Poison her?" Dallas asked with interest. "G--got camphor on her eyes," snuffed Betty. "You never--heard such a noise. I wouldn't be a trained nurse for anything in the world. She--she called me hussy." "You're not going to give her up, are you Betty?" Jim asked imploringly. But Betty was and said so plaintly. "Arrow, she won't have me back," she finished, and she has sent for—nues! "Have mercy," Dafried dripping to his knees. "Oh, fair ministering angel, she has not sent for me!" "No," Betty said majeloudly. "She wants Bella--she's crazy about her." CHAPTER XI. I Make a Discovery. Really, I have left Aunt Selina rather out of it, but she was important as a cause, not as a result, at least at first. She came out strong later. I believe she was a very nice old woman, with strong likes and prejudices, which she was perfectly willing to pay for. At least, I only presume she had likes: I know she had prejudices. Nobody ever understood why Bella consented to take Betty's place with Aunt Selina. As for me, I was too much engrossed with my own affairs to pay the invalid much attention. Once or twice in the day I had stopped in to see her, and had been received frigidly and with marked disapproval. I was in disgrace, of course after the scene in the dining room the night before. I had stood like a naughty child, just inside the door, and replied meekly when she said the pillows were overstuffed, and why didn't I have the linen slips rinsed in starch water? She laid the blance of her illness on me, as I have said before, and she made Jim read to her in the afternoon from a book she carried with her. "Coals of Fire" on the Domestic Hearth" marking places for me to read. She sent for me that night, just as I had taken off my gown; so I threw on a dressing gown and went in. To my horror; Jim was already there. At a gesture from Aunt Selina, he closed the door into the hall and tiptoed back beside the bed, where he sat staring at the figures on the silk comfort. Aunt Selina's first words were: "Where's that flibberty gibbet?" Jim looked at me. "She must mean Betty," I explained. "She has gone to bed, I think." "Don't—it her—in—this—room—again," she said, with awful emphasis as: "She is an infamous creature." "Oh, come row, Aunt Selina," Jim in the air, "she foolish, perhaps, but does a little thing." Aunt Selina's face was a curious study. Then she raised herself on her elbow, and taking a flat chamois-skin bag from under her pillow, held it out. "My camo, breastpin," she said selenly; "my cuffbuttons with gold rims and storks, painted on china in the middle; my watch, that has put me to bed and got me up for forty years, and my money—$10,40.40—taken with the doors locked under my nose. Which was ambiguous, but forble. "But, good gracious. Miss Car—Aunt Selina!" I exclaimed, "you don't think Betty Mercer took those things." "No," she said grinly; "I think I probably got up in my sleep and lighted, the fire with them, or sent em out for a walk." Then she stuffed the bag away and sat up resolutely in bed. "Have you maced up?" she demand ed, looking from one to the other of this—Room — Again." us. "Bella, don't tell me you still persist in that nonsense." "What nonsense?" I asked, getting ready to run: "That you do not love him." "Him?" "James," she snapped irritably. "Do you suppose I mean the policeman? I looked over at Jimmy. She had got me by the hand, and Jimmy was making frantic gestures to tell her the whole thing and be done with it. But I had gone too far. The mill of the gods had crushed me already, and I didn't propose to be drawn out hideously maneuled and held up as an example for the next two or three weeks, although it was clear enough that Aunt Sellina disapproved of me thoroughly, and would have been glad enough to find that no the save the board of health held us together. And then Bella came in, and you wouldn't have known her. She had put on a straight white woolen wrapper, and she had her hair in two long braids down her back. She looked like a nice wide-eyed little girl in her teens, and she had some lobster salad and a glass of port on a tray. When she saw the situation she put the things down and had the nastiness to sing and listen. "I'm not blind," Aunt Selina said, with one eye on the tray. "You two ally children abide each other; I saw some things last night." Bella took a step forward then she stopped and strugged her shoulder. Jim was purple. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Cultivate Decision. Indecision soon grows to be a vice. Sometimes it is the mark of a weak character—often it develops a weak character. The Point of View. "Honesty" is the best policy." "Not on your life," blurted out the insurance agent. NEGROES ON THE COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA THE COURIER As the Jews do not change their old-time custom in their worship—adhering strictly to their fathers and Mosaic ceremonies—negroes on the islands and on the coast of South Carolina hold to their old-time customs. Some of their practices and superstitions were brought over from Africa. Many of them believe in "Root doctors" or "Hoodoo doctors." On last Sunday I met one of these old "Hoodoo" doctors on the public road with his satchel filled with a liberal supply of roots and herbs. These "physicians" claim they can cure all diseases, give you good luck, tell one his future, tell you are your enemies, tell how long you will live; they keep off "witches"; they can punish your enemies or bless your friends for you; they can tell how many deaths you are going to have in your family; they can give you a certain root or rabbit; set to carry in your packet to give "good luck." Many of these people believe in ghosts or spirits. Superstitious Practices. Hearing of the superstitious practices of some in the graveyards, I went to a cemetery to investigate. When persons are buried one can see many pieces of glass, bottles, chinaware and other earth vessels on the top of the graves. On one I observed several spoons, out of which the sick person took medicine. Here were the glasses, the pitcher, cup, and on some of the graves I found medicine and I was informed that this was the medicine left in the bottle after the death of the person. On Sunday morning I went to considerable trouble to find some of the pastors on the island. I succeeded in finding some, of whom the most prominent were Revs. J. Brown and Washington. These preachers could not give me any reason for placing these articles on the graves, and they claimed that it was impossible to get any reason out of those who practiced this superstition. One old woman, about seventy-five years old, told me that she came into this world, and found, the people "doing that," but she did not know for what reason. The people do many things without giving a reason for so doing. There is one thing remarkable about colored people everywhere: they seldom go to a graveyard unless they go to bury come one. No individual goes there alone, unless he goes to seek religion. Religious Worship on the island. There is as much dignity, decorum and quietness in a colored congregation in the cities of Charleston, Georgetown and Beaumont as one will find in the average white assembly. One would be surprised to see a congregation of colored people on the islands assembled for worship in their temples. They make no demonstrations while preaching is going on; they make no noise; they do not even shout in the churches, as negroes do in the upper part of the state. You will not bear a groan nor a sigh, for they are not moved by their eloquence" or stormy preaching. Before the service begins they are as quiet as Quakers. There is little or no whispering in the congregation. One old preacher said to me. "dat you cud preach till you bust, you wudent git a groan." Where They Do: Shout. The colored people have on each plantation on St. Helena's island a "prale house." Here they meet for prayer and praise every Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday nights. This custom has been kept up on the islands and plantations for nearly 200 years. If one desires to see shouting come with me to one of these "prale houses." There are about thirty of these places for "prale" on St. Helena's island. Learning that there was a "prale meeting" going on on last Saturday night and wishing to see how these people worship. Prof. J. E. Blanton and I left our bedroom after 12 o'clock and went, off to the meeting. Many earnest prayers were made from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. interspersed with old spiritual or plantation melodies that made me feel that I was at the very gates of Heaven. Here were many old-time women with the old-time - "bandana" handkerchiefs still used in Africa and gray-headed men. There was nothing strange in this mode of worship; but strange things happened later on. One of the leaders of the meeting noticed that the writer was in the audience, and he demanded that I line in and do so strolling to show wedder I was for double or God He requested of me a speech or a song or a prayer. After making three or four demands, I decided to give them a little talk. After my speech, and the benediction was an nounced, then "shouting" began and lasted till five o'clock Sunday morning. Sinner. You Better Get Ready. I shall here relate what happened. The benches were move from the building or out in the left. The old people sat on a line of benches, close to the wall or up in the corner, many of them lit their fires and began to smoke. Some went to a nearby house. Many women, however, cover with the needle, thus it difficult to roll a jacket. It is in positive simple. Rip out one half of the jacket, lining for a pattern, cut a complete lining by this, leaving the other half attached to the jacket for a guide. Sew the lining together, leaving the underarm seams open. Now linger in one half, fitting it smoothly along the fronts and bottom of the jacket; then rip out the other half of the old lining and bast'e in the same way. to get something to eat. Lunch houses are kept open all night at the "praise houses" as a rule. One of the old women started a song entitled, "Sinner. You Better Get Ready." The young men, boys and women who had been standing on the outside during "praise meeting" came in, and, catching each other by the hand, began to march around in a ring. One fellow who could sing well in the middle of the ring and led the singing. I was informed that half of them in the ring were "sinners" and not members of any church. To this shouting resembled an old time "cake walk" or dance. The old men and women, being stiff in the knees and not active in the legs, did not participate in the shouting, because they could not move around fast enough, but they cheered those that were in the ring. Occasionally one would get high spirited and lift his voice above the sound and could be heard saying, "Trow dat foot, gal, don't let dat boy outshine you; * * * mind, boy dat gal is kissing at you." Many of them were putting their hands and staring their feet while the shouting was going on. Many of them shouted till they were exhausted, while others were washed down in perspiration. Stripping for: Action. After the first round the shouters "stripped for action." The men pulled off their coats and piled them up in the corner of the house. The women took off their cloaks and hurriedense clothing. One old fellow cried out, "Now, Brudder Carral, you will see some shouting." As late as 2 a.m. people were coming to the "praise house," while a few of the originals left during the night. It is strange that the pastors do not attend these prayer meetings. The majority of the preachers do not approve of this mode of worship. One can preach "till he busts" against this practice, but it will go on just the same. There is no people in the state that I delight more in being among as these members of my race on the coast. They are exceedingly polite; they respect persons who are in authority and they are far superior to the country negro when it comes to the divine worship in the church. In churches they act like "white folks" but in "praise houses" they are "cake walkers." OF INTEREST TO MEN With the coming of the pretty days, men are beginning to think of their spring and summer clothes. Upmost in their minds are the kind of suits to wear. Chevlets, worsteds, cashmere, Scotch suits, will all be used to a greater extent. This season will denote the passing of the wide stripes and the narrow stripes will be in fashion. Tans, blues, grays and camary shades will be the fashion. The Character is still the rage among the well dressed men. No summer passes without the fancy vest. They are always worn by the well dressed man. There are a number of samples shown by the leading tailors of the city. Dark-colored vestings will be the style, while the gray silk waistcoat is among the array of patterns. Summer will bring flannels and will be worn by the fastidious dresser. A man is said to be "gentleel" when he is elegant in men, appearance and dress. Fashionable clothes of today make a man look as though he was worth millions, when his clothes are cut to fit and are in the height of fashion. A good tailor can bring out a man's individualities and make him look as though he was "just from a bandbox." Most all men are thinking keenly about their haberlashery; this is because they see the windows filled with the latest styles and fashions. Men are equally as curious now about their dress as women. They look with joy to the coming approach of summer when they can wear their low quarters negligible shirts and pretty neckwear. In neckwear, the Alice blue, the musk, watermelon and gray will be among the colors worn "Girls and sweethearts" will pay a big part in the making of neckties for men. No knitting machine can beat the delicate hand of the woman in making and knitting neckties, and the young men will no doubt be pleased to receive a tie for a birthday remembrance. Earliest derbys are black, brown and gray. Alpines are in good form. Shapes in all headgear are generous, brows and brins hespeak an amplitude of material, although this liberal life is not overdone. The chanette skirt is cool and will be worn a great depth this spring. Blue, gray and black, is cultivated and will be worn by the "well dressed" man. saw the new liner all around both bottom and up. Any fullness with the liner and the windows and under windows will do. It should be a wood case of it. Can the liner from the bottom lining and attach at the top and bottom, snugly the armholes first. We really love the thing larger than the sleeves, so as to allow plenty of room at the elbow.

DEAL JACKSON AND WHAT HE IS DOING ON HIS GEORGIA FARM Just a plain negro, without a day of schooling all his life, not knowing what his age or who his father—a plantation darky. If you pleas—who moves along in his own way—peacefully—without ostentation or money. And yet a negro with a purpose and better still, a negro with a record for accomplishments which, in its way, stands out as boldly and significantly as the record of Booker T. Washington in its way. You wouldn't think such a record would so unsing for year after year that a short item in some of the papers of his state once each year would be all that he got of fame and glory that, outside of his own county, he would be unknown; that, of all the magazine articles which have appeared on the negro question, and the negro race in the south, his name would not be among the mentioned. Who is this Deal Jackson, this negro farmer who barely is able to read and write his own name? What has he done deserving of fame? Deal Jackson has produced the first bale of cotton east of the Mississippi for 13 consecutive years, in spite of the fiercest competition from members of his own race, and of the white farmers of the south. He has raised, ginned and marketed the first bale 13 consecutive years! Study the significance of that! He has in one year raised and marketed as many as five bales of cotton before any other farmer east of the Mississippi raised one bale. He has, for his own honest efforts, and with a handlecap of not a day of schooling all his life, made $100,000 in farming, and become the third or fourth wealthiest man in his county. And in a county, too, which, before the war, had the distinction of being the third of fourth wealthiest county in the United States per capita of white population. Deal Was Born in Slavery.

It gave those who rode in it a rare opportunity to see this beautiful country, with its great plantations of hunts dreds and thousands of acres, its broad stretches of cotton fields, now black, with hardly a speck of white to show the uninitiated that he was passing, through the "land of cotton" with tiny shacks strung along the road—all inhabited by negroes; with pick annies dark as night to point the way when the driver felt that it was taking a long time to reach the farm of Deal Jackson. just five miles away from the starting point—Albany, Ga— him money without note.

Deal rep and very simply I have refused $ He expected to see the wealthiest negro in Georgia living "in state," as it were; to be shown into a great impinging mansion, with pompous white pillars rearing themselves on the borders of a long, expansive porch; to be met at the door by a big negro, splendidly attired, impressed with his importance—and more particularly his vast and extensive knowledge. "Whose place is that?" was asked of the pickaninny who had come out to admire and wonder, at the automobile. "Deal Jackson's," was the reply. The wife of a Germantown (Philadelphia) man is said to have cultivated her genius for bargaining to an extraordinary degree. Not long ago she burst into the living room and made this startling appointment to her spouse. (Coast. Emma has appointees! I've arranged with Walter Black to perform the operation for only $5. Every one knows that the regular fee is— Permit me to congratulate you.) IN AND WHAT ING ON HIS HA FARM RTATOWSKY Remus' Home Magazine. "Where is he?" was the next in- quiry. And the besmudged "blackberry" pointed to a smiling negro standing nearby, with wonders buggy, without a coat, and with a slouchy, torn hat in his hand. "Howdy," he said cordially, and walked up boiling all the while, asked what he could do, and laughed—a hefty sort of patrician chidee—for any part of the reasons could be mentioned, just for the sake of laughing and the love of it. Inside the house, which was furnished very much as are all homes of fairly prosperous negro farmers in the south, he laughed again, placed his hat on a sewing machine, introduced his wife and two children, and awaited developments. "Are these all the children you have, Deal?" he was asked. "Yassir," he replied. "You see, I was married twict. All de fust crop died. Dey was fo' o dem." "Lessie," he said, in response to another question, "Ise about fifty-nine—just about fifty-nine. Who's my payments? Now dat I doan know. Cose I knows who was my mudder, but de only way I knows I had er fadder is by lookin' at udder folks who I knows had one." Deal said he was born in Putnam county—in slavory, of course—and belonged to the Jackson family, "jest beto' de war cloud." He was thirteen years old when hostilities ceased. "I was so young I didn't know I was free. I had er data dat only dose twenty-one was tree. zn' I kept right on bein' a slave toei I was 'twenty-one—' an' happy all de time."

As deal expressed it, "He saw d. favor in my eres." He worked on "Billy" Gilbert's place for 15 years, and had planned to buy a farm of his own for $1,600, when he succumbed to the wily talk of a friend and loaned $1,000 of the amount, which was never repaid. He, in turn, bor- owed $500, added it to the $700 he had still, and purged the farm—250 acres—which he has yet, and to which he has added, from time to time, 1,750 acres, his present holdings in farm lands being 2,000 acres. Asked as to the value of this 2,000- acre farm. Deal replied very eloquently and very simply: "I have refused $25 er are fer em." He is not as ashamed of the fact that he has had no schooling, although he propose this shall not be the case with his two children of "the second crop." Deal does not attach much importance to the fact that he has produced the first bale of cotton east of the Mississippi for 13 years. He is at a loss to explain it clearly. "I uses good seed," he says. "I plants arly, an" I cultivates hard. Den I watches an watches an" works all de time to I grit e bale. Jest hard work an" work all de time an" known in how. Dat all." dear," interrupted the husband, "upon your success in bringing a fashionable disease within the reach of Coosin in Emma." Mrs Philip Snowden, the English suffragette, began at a dinner in New York her job to a coast on "Maritime with the Awards" "I once asked a little girl if she knew what letter was" "Yes, she replied, 'Leisure is the place where married people rest.'" She Knew. THREE But Deal will enjoy the distinction no longer. The "first bale nigger," as he is known in Dougherty county, has decided to pass the glory on to another. He feels that he has accomplished enough for one man—and a nugget, at that—in the way of getting distinction. "Hit's too much work and worry," he explains. "an I decided it was better to ruin out to waar out." Most Complete and Up-to-Date in the City—Special Instructions to New Beginners—Barber Shop in Connection—Cigars and Laundry Agency.

I tells you, but mebbe hits wuth while to de man dat ain't feared to take hit." "The raising of the first bale for 13 years, has not been without its pecuniary reward to the ngero, even if that reward has been small, and the glory light." THE STREET CAFE When cotton brings about 12 or 13 cents. Deal gets for his first bale in the neighborhood of 25 cents. On a Deal Jackson, "The First Bale Nigger." bale of 409 pounds, which is about the average, this means about $100—$50 more than he would get at the normal price. Rents Half of Farm to Negroes. On one occasion, Deal marketed the first bale; it was bought, shipped to Savannah, and there declared "old cotton." Deal struck up at a fast clip again, and marketed two more bales before any other farmer in Georgia or east of the Mississippi had marketed one. Later, the original "first bale" was pronounced "new cotton," and the vindication of the "first bale nigger" was complete. Deal's farm is worth more, perhaps, than any other farm of equal size in his section of the country. It is impossible for Deal personally to cultivate all of the 2,000 acres, so he rents half of it to other negroes who pay him two bales to the plow, netting him about $3,700 annually. The 1,000 acres—which he supervisees personally—bring on an average of 22 bales to the plow—more. It is said, than is averaged by any other farmer in the section. Here of late, Booker T. Washington has taken a great interest in the "first bale nigger," and the latter has visited Tuskegee Institute several times, on the last occasion being invited to deliver an address to the "business leg," as he calls the "business league." "He's de bleges' nigger in the world," I spec. "is the tribute Deal pays to Booker Washington. MRS. SARAH E. BROWN, Proprietor All the delicacies of the season. Meals served at all hours day and night. Deal Jackson has a sense of humor —every negro has that.

And his eyes twinkled with the humor and the wisdom of the remark. Deal Jackson has a heart also. Shortly before the writer, was to leave Albany—his native home—he asked a prominent business man his opinion of Deal as a man. "He's all right," same the ready response. "Deal has good credit. He knows his place and keeps it, and he has the respect of everybody that knows him. I have always thought a lot of him since the time he came to me and asked as to the credit of a young man, under whose father he had once served as a slave. I told him his credit was O. K. And Deal replied, with a trace of sadness in his voice: The Original Poro Hair Growe 4 Years ago my Hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way up my head. 4 Years ago my Hair just covered my shoulders. "It don't make much difference, anyway. I already loaned him the money. When I wasn't anything but a boy, I used to sit on one side of the fireplace and him on the other. When the missus gin him a hunk of bread, she gin me a hunk. When the missus licked him she licked me, and when she licked me she licked him, too. When she darned a pair of stockings for him she darned a pair for me, and when she darned a pair for me she darned a pair for him. We split things den. I spect we knin sorter divide up now." Some day, a writer will come down south to study the negro race and the negro problem, will make some mention of Deal Jackson, "the first bale nigger"—a negro farmer in the south, of the south, loving the south—with $100,000 to his credit, and a record of 13 first bales as a claim for the distinction of being the south's greatest farmer. Amitiation is the sincerest flattery; and the fact that so many people I St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to imital "PORO" HAIR GROWER is the best proof of the merits of "PORO." Were the first to engage in the business of growing the hair regardless of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our work have us the preparation which is known as "PORO." This is made and sold sively by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and L know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From it in my treatments hundreds have received direct benefit. Our claim always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the na "PORO" it will continue to do so if only the hair and scalp be kept ch Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford, using mere imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. Information Wanted. The little girl from the city had been questioning the old farmer, touching on many things about the place. Be sure that the name "Poro" is on every box; not genuine without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "Poro." It stops the falling and starts the hair to growing at once. "And now," said she in conclusion, "I'd like to ask you just one thing more." "Fire away," said the farmer good-natured. "What I wanted to know," said the unfitting little questioner, "is when you have finished miking the cow, how do you turn it off?" FOUR C. W. POBEY, President. W. JOHNSON, Secretary. R. L.

Every institution has in life an influence. An influence for good or ill. It is difficult, nay impossible, to foretell the scope of an influence, therefore we should indeed be chary in our aims and actions. No institution of man has a greater field of influence for good among the people than the church and to be the purposes of this article home to each of us, we wish to emphasize that some of the Negro churches are not exercising the influence which they have in command. You ask how, or why, just this. Influence is of a wide and varied scope. There are many lines along which influence may be pursued in the church, but we shall dwell upon a few, to our mind, the most salient only. In the first place the church, and primarily the past—for he is the leader—should exert its influence upon punctuality in attendance at the services. Who has not been disturbed by the almost ceaseless tramp in the long aisles of a hardy worshiper, who seeks out a place on a crowded seat up front?. There should be a time for beginning service, and serv ice should begin at that time, no matter how mark or how few the congregation. Then there should be punctuality in the termination of the service. After a time the average human grows tired, loses interest and of course then the pastor's influence for good is cost. It is the preoperative of the pastor to pursue up to date methods to hold the interest of his congregation, to abolish the tinsel and glitter and cling to the concrete, to be progressive; the influence of his church will grow and incidentally his individual influence. Years ago, based on a mistaken idea, it was the custom in all churches to have the congregation parade up one aisle and down another in the mad rush to outdo one another at the collection table. This practice is meek and should long since have been relegated to the scrap heap of the forgotten. The excitement and confusion of these parades breaks in upon the impression which a good, strong sermon has created and detracts from its influence. The passing of the ushers among the congregation with the collection plates is less confusing; and the results are just as good among christianized people. The time for personal, for individual glamor in the church has departed; the day of collective and individual influence for good is at hand its strength and purpose must be recognized. Get together, good people, and demand progressiveness, demand the beat there is, but remember in demanding it of others that you, individually, have some responsibility that it is within your province to lead an influence for advancement. Under God, we must improve. ANOTHER SLAP Before we had time to recover from the shock handed us in our local legislature, along comes a Southern Cracker in the U. S. house of representatives and asks that the Fourteenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution be repealed. While we entertain little fear that the Fourteenth amendment will be repealed just now, we can but take notice of the disposition exhibited toward us as a race. Surely, our white brethren are going insane. What do they want? Would they have us evaporate over night and disappear in the heavens; would they enslave us against or would they have us by some process of ler-de-main, turn white, and thus lose our identity. Brethren, tell us what you want, and we assure you that the matter shall have our "personal attention." We beg to correct the statement that Hon. J. F. Woodward and Hona. A. G. Stein failed to support the Bass amendment. Hon. Henry W. Bass informs us that the above mentioned gentlemen are defying objections of his and the race. We stand corrected as to these gentlemen, and are very pleased to learn their attitude toward us. The Randolph-Stewart Stoneon Rowlett game bristled with writing plays but Randolph instead all over the lot. Notice. We notice an article appearing in the Afro-American Ladies, a Baltimore paper, that A. Russell is connected with the Paris burgess Connery. This is so suddenly false, we have never seen the brother never employed him in any capacity. We note with regret the attack upon our good brother, J. C. Asbury, by some of the disgruntled brother (7) of the Order; but we predict for him a triumphant victory over all opponents. The truth is the light; and light scatters darkness.

We understand that three very estimable ladies names were presented for membership to the board of management of one of our colored institutions last week, and each one of these ladies would have been a credit to this institution and been of much service to it, but they were not elected. This institution needs such good material more than these ladies need it, and it behooves the members of this board to be more liberal in their views for the future prosperity of this home. There was an overflow house at Loencll club last Sunday afternoon, and the musical program was of a high order. The Trinity choir and members of Boldel choir rendered some very choice music, as well as Harry Bolden. The latter has accepted a scholarship in the Los Angeles Conservatory, and there will be a concert given for his compeir early in May at Warren church to help him on his way. He has a very promising musical future and this concert should be well patronized. The Hon. John C. Dancy, of Washington, D. C., also made a few remarks which were very much appreciated.

Dearness of B. C. (Hastings) PLACE Jerusalem and the Temple KING'S BANK and the Temple KING'S BANK and the Temple Jewish in Israel in Austria St. Schubinger II. has died. St. Schubinger II. has come to the throne. Joash did that which was fight in the sight of the Lord while Jehovah the Lord was alive, but after the death of that good man Jehovah allowed the people to become bishoppers. Even during Jehovah's life, morrow in the world at the high tide was allowed to go on. These good men also were held to Tehillim to true religion. Tehillim was his boyhood home, his life for seven years from the murder of his brother in the Temple lived his best friends. There he had been crowned. No wonder he came to love those courts and to sorrow over their displeased condition. Joash called together the priests and the Levites, and bade them draw from the regular funds for the Temple restoration. This money of the dedicated things, the money conserved to religious uses by the people, was obtained from three sources: Money of revery one that passeth the account; that is the pollax of a half-shekel paid by every male I-borrower of 22 centimeters a man was taken. Money that every man is set at. All the assignments. Money that cometh into any man's hands to be given. The freewill openings of the people for this purpose, which might be held. The church waiters, even when they take thought for the church, have little heart in their work. The functors Sydney Smith had two votes of oxen on his little farm in Yorkshire to which he gave the names of 'Tug' and 'Lug' 'Haul' and 'Crawl'. These would be appropriate names for a large class of church members who put no heart into their Christian work. It is more tug and toll and task to them. There is a lack of co-operation. A minister called upon a member who had been neglecting the weeknight service, and went straight up to the fireplace in the sitting room, and with the tongs removed a live coal from of the fire, and placed it on the hearth, then watched it while it turn ed from the red glow of heat to a black mass. The member in question carefully observed the proceeding and then said, "You need not say a single word, sir; I'll be there on Wednesday night." No church fire can burn brightly if the coats are pulled apart. Though many other reasons might be given for the failure when church work fails behind, it is all summed up in one cause, the absence of Christ. 'Getting Christ into the people' will solve the problem of getting people into the church, and getting them to work when they are there. Said Napoleon, in exile in St. Helena: 'My armies have forgotten me even while living, even as the Carthaginian army forget Hannibal. Such is our never. A single battle lost crashes us, and adversity scatters our friends. The progress of the faith and the government of the church are a perpetual miracle. Nations pass away, thrones crumble, but the church remains.' That is because Christ remains, the living, glorious cause of all the church's triumphs. With the frankness and openness with which all church matters should be treated, Joachs sent for Jehoiach and the subordinate priests and asked them, with some indignation, 'Why repair ye not the breaches of the house?' A very simple plan was adopted, appealing directly to the religious real of the people. A wooden chest was taken, and a slit was made in the lid for the money to pass through. This was set beside the altar. How did Joash's plan succeed? Admirably; it brought in much money. People like to give directly to a cause, to know just how their money is spent. They are far more likely to respond to special than to general appeals. The king's secretary and the high priest went together to the chest, counted the money, and put it up in bags. It was then given to the overseers of the work, and they paid it out to the carpenters, builders, mason, the men that furnished the timber, hewn stone, and iron brass. Northwest payment on more ornaments—everything was devoted to the solid repair of the fabric. In all church work progress is made only by fixing upon a coal and allowing nothing to turn one aside till the goal is reached. The crown of Joshua's life was what he did for the house of God. Such work will be the crown of any life that undertakes it. There is room in God's house for all kinds of workers and all degrees of skill. Even the youngest scholar in the Sunday school can make a helpful contribution to the Temple service. Work for the church should be progressive, should be more moveable, and should be more wear. For this end it is necessary that we begin young just as singers and piano players just as young. "Jack of all trades and master of none" is as true of church work as of work in secular callings. Every young Christian will be wise if he selects some line of work for God and cultivates it as his specialty. It may be sensing or teaching or social work, or administrative work, or examining the work or the use of the pen. Whether he cannot make the selection early or begin too soon on his preparation, it will be the very best work of his life, and it deserves the best years of his life and the fulness of every one of his works.

With a quarter in her silver mesh purse, she can shop all day, buy nothing and come home and tell you all about it. She'll narrate it all without a trace of regret at not having purchased at least half the saw and she'll appear as happy as a milk over the more pricing. She will give you in detail the gown of every woman in the net, added to it choice this of personal history—no, not gossip—and snatches of conversation attached. At the same time, she will have stopped at the greeks, the butchers, the supermer, and she has a grant acquaintance with everything the market awards. Yet in our blindness, we gravely state that genius is masculine. THE STUDENT. I have learned that who we are always allow women to think they're easily managed. Their own story between rock lessons and danger. Some girls may because it is easy with them. Women are not with a name in love unless that comes to wonder. Women are not in love when they are framed, and yet some fool meep find fault with that. There's a tragedy ter every wrinkle in a woman's face, and a comedy for every coat of powder she snudges on to conceal it. UNFAIR WOMAN. Men tell the truth when in their cups; women, when in tears. A young woman believes nothing a flatterer says; an old one, everything. A woman's justice is like her most fashionable wrap; fastened sideways. The wise woman gives careless advice, knowing that it won't be followed, anyhow. A girl would rather share her chum's sorrowful confidence than her confectionery. Most women run after the fashions so swiftly that they are too much out breath to converse with them when they meet. When a woman recommends marriage to you, sometimes it's a sign of trouble. The woman who can fancy herself always in love gets real enjoyment out of life. The disillusions a woman has to suffer is nothing to the illusions she keeps on nourishing. The girl of many seasons generally has many reasons for not taking any man for granted. It's awfully sweet to sew, on baby clothes, if you can put aside thoughts of future trouser-patches or filmsy wedding gowns. THE CUD CHEWER Many are called and more are bluffed. Money never did do one thing we all want; bring back youth. Wit is pure when strained through the tissue of human kindness. Anybody that loses heart at the first heat isn't fit for a good race. Some people are accused of being thick-hided when they're merely doing their best to hide where the whip hurts. PROSPERITY. Prosperity is a leveler. The man who is after a great fortune may not amass it; but he who is in search of progress generally finds it. When a fellow wants to make a good showing, all he has to do is to invest in gold bricks, but solid success comes only with deep digging. An after dinner proposal may be as sweet as dessert, but it is just as soon gone. The flirtatious, young man is never happy unless he's making many miserable. A man will tell you the most impossible things and yet you have to wear a plain-skirt look. GOOD-WORKING MOTTUES. A history of work and toward. Jigsaw puzzles—Keep fostering ahead Tattoos—Jun or they do go. Money Leader—Never a day with an advance. Burghair—Do your work quietly and without obstination.

The Easter services were well attended at the A. M.

The Medley quartet was one of the main features of the evening, who removed some beautiful selections, especially the "Scenes of Yesterday." The Mercedes club is an organization composed of the young set for the advancement of social and culture among its members. The keynote was very much in evidence when at eleven o'clock a dainty repast was served with covers laid for twenty. Russel Peyton the president called for after dinner speeches.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- There are three classes of negro thinkers in this country—the first, who are ultra-optimistic, that might be styled rainbow chasers and idealists. The second are those who might be called pessimists, who see nothing but the dark side of the race, and imagine all other races are against them. They see no future for the race in this country; they are forever raising a bowl over some imaginary wrongs done them, both by other races and their own; in their mind everything is going to the bowwows; the world is constantly growing worse in their estimation. These are but the fragments of their morbid and uncuttivated imaginations. There is a constant conflict between these two classes—they are forever clashing. The one chases butterflies and believes that the millennium is not far, off; they dwell forever in the land of Utopia. In 2,000 years will their dreams be realized; they are simply air castle builders; they contribute a very little to the sum total to the race's credit. But the pessimistic class is even more obnoxious than these: for they see nothing but bad continually. They are old croakers and forever whining and complaining over some imaginary wrong done them; they are miserable themselves and make, others so. If you ask them what do they think of the race's future, they tell you unhesitatingly, by the shake of the head, that the race is going backward; that its enemies are increasing, and that the prediction and ruin of the whole race are not far off, that it is only a question of time when the entire negro people will be no more: that he will be a has been rather than an is. And so the conflict goes on between these two classes. Neither one of these classes is of much benefit and credit to the race, for they contribute such a little of the sum total of our material and moral well being that they practically amount to nothing, so far as the race's progress and uplift is concerned. Every race has them, but it seems that they are in a greater proportion among our people. Now, there is a third class who take the middle ground. They reason from experience and history; they realize that all progress is governed by the law of evolution; that it takes time and patience for these great forces to reach a culmination. They read the history of other peoples of the world, and learn that their present development and civilization have been gradual, that it has taken centuries for them to reach their present degree of perfection. And they reason that we can be no exception to the rule. They reason that everything in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdom is subject to this inevitable law of evolution; that God so ordained it, and from it there is no escape. This class constitutes our hope for the future, for they see things in their right relation; they know that society is not what it ought to be, even among the people who have attained to the highest, plane in civilized life; that there are numbers of evils in the community life, born in England and America, whose people are regarded as the highest type of civilized mankind. How can, then, a people who have just emerged from slavery expect to reach their full development in 50 years? It is unreasonable; it is absurd. And any class of people who take gloomy and unreasonable views of things is not in the position to do much to better the conditions of the race. The truth of the matter is that no people, under similar circumstances, could have made greater progress than ours since they have been emancipated. Therefore, people, both white and black, who seem to shut their eyes to the advancement that the negro people have made in education, morals and in wealth within the 50 years that they have been emancipated. We submit that he has not made the progress that it was possible for him to make. What race has? We admit that he has made blunders that we might reasonably expect he might not have made. The Dispatch has always felt that he has allowed himself too often to fall into crimes, especially the petty kind, which disgraces even worse in the eyes of the world than those that are enormous. For instance, the man who steals a chicken off the roost is looked down upon with more contempt than the man who steals a bank. The negro woman who steals an old hat from the place where she serves is looked down upon with greater scorn than one who steals diamonds aggregating thousands of dollars in value. Of course, both are crimes, but that is the way the public looks upon it. These are the things the Dispatch deplores, and wishes that our people might steer clear of them. It would raise us very greetly the estimation of other people if this weakness was overcome, namely, petty theft. But he that may progress has been thereby the micro people along all the lines. This has to be tried their ill-treatment to less than 50 per cent; they pay less or $200,000,000 worth of property in this country; they own thousands and thousands of acres of Feminine Fripperies Tempering, indulged, are the new silk petitions with their purrishings of lime and silkpillow, and, yes, even flowers. The girl who likes pretty things may be excused for cutting into her allurement or saltyness, as the case may be, and before she closes in the cellar one or two of those things. From the simple silk embroidery of silk with a mysterious swish, the petitions bewreaked into a clinging wobb of satin, crepe, silk or chiffon—an ample mention of lace. land, and thousands of good, nice homes. Many, thousands of them are good, prosperous farmers, and have excellent bank accounts; there are over 50 banks to their credit owned and controlled by negroes entirely. They have numbers of industrial insurance companies, giving employment to thousands. They have many excellent newspapers, that are giving information on the condition of the option in the direction of good citizenship; and the policies of most of these papers are, with few exceptions, to cement a friendly, relation between the whites and the blacks. We shall not attempt to enumerate the many lines of progress along which the race is advancing. We know that the race has many things to learn and many obstacles to overcome; and we know, too, that they cannot be overcome in a day—it is contrary to reason to expect it. In obedience to the great law of evolution, we know that we must make progress slowly; that there must be the lapse of years for us to measure up the world's standard; but the Dispatch believes that we will do it; it bases its hope upon the progress already made and the possibility of the race as manifested by its already 50 years of progress. - Macon (Ga.) Dispatch. Don't try to get away from your own race. Mr. Prosperous Negro. Don't forget the rock from whence you were hewn. Don't kick over the ladder upon which you elimbed from obscurity to respectable public notice. It is often the case that when a negro begins to get up in the world the man will be very unsatisfactory. Quit this meanness. It is a crime of which negroes are alone guilty.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. The Ninth cavalry was one of the regiments ordered to the Mexican border, along with other troops from various army posts. Since returning from the Philippines, two years ago, the Ninth has been stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. The entire regiment left Fort Russell on Wednesday morning and will form a part of the cavalry division of General Carter's army in Texas. The Ninth cavalry is the only negro regiment that was involved in the movement. The veterans of the regiment are on familiar ground, as many of them will be served on the Mexican border in previous years. If anything serious should develop the Ninth can be depended upon to give a good account of itself—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. It is not the critic who counts—not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the door of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is, actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives, vallantly, who errs and comes—short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the trumpth of high achievement and who at the worst, if he falls, at least falls while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat—Springfield (ill.) Forum. The movement, inaugurated some time ago, to have negro dental surgeons in the United States army, is about to yield tangible results. Dr. John R. Francis, Jr., has been appointed for service in one of the colored regiments, and he will have the rank, privileges and emoluments of a first leutenant. Doctor Francis has already passed two physical examinations, and has gone to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, for further examinations. The matter was pushed to ful conclusion by several influential colored men, here and elsewhere, and it is understood that this is to be attached to one of the four colored regiment of the army, just as the four pundmasters were arranged for a capt or two ago.-Richmond (Va.) Reformer John Brown, who has made himself famous for getting religion every time that there has been a revival, has again come to the front, upholding that reputation. John went up again this week. When asked concerning the preceding times, John said that the last ones failed to take, and that it was his intention to keep on going up every year until he was possessor of the real article, or until one of the others "took." He was asked whether he would again be baptised this year. He said, "Certainly, I intend to keep on being baptised until my sins are washed away" or I am sufficiently cleansed "and I believe that I can be the nearly gates. The Bible says that no one can enter unless their sins have been washed away, and that is no better way in which to wash them than to be repeatedly baptised. Anyway, it is a matter which concerns only myself, good bye." With this the correspondent (their last) "getting rid of" It now seems precisely certain that Life is here saved. The One of the most exquisite models is of pale blue croc cut count. A deep plaited,午面dashion, and above it is a hand-painted wreath of wild roses. Clusters of the roses that look as if they had just been plucked from some countryside are caught in the lace at irregular intervals. Another model is built of white mescaline. The flounce proper has a design of American Beauty roses in self-shades woven in the satin, the bright colors glowing bewitchedly through a plaited flounce of white chiffon. SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1911. financial cloud which recently hung so threatening over her has been lifted. There were three main barriers the Kane Lahun question, which resulted in favor of England, the new boundary delimitation treaty granted to France and the judicial system. Settlement of the first and second problems was necessary to get the consent and co-operation of England and France. Reform reforms were needed to guarantee the security of capital invested in the country—Star of Zion. Every man owes a sacred duty to his home, to the young who come after him and to his community. The man who ignores these claims is unworthy of American citizenship and the blessings of our twentieth century civilization. It is the duty of every man enjoying freedom and liberty to so act that the young men coming after will be profiled by emulating his examples. In politics, in business and in the social life, he should remember that the future of his race depends upon his conduct; and his actions will be a help, lifting his people up to the plane of usefulness and worth and honor, or it will be a hindrance retarding the progress of those who struggle to win in life's battles—The Torchlight. It must be admitted that of the colored farmers of the present day, too many of them are possessed with the idea that what they don't know about farming is not worth knowing, while if that language was slightly reversed it would come nearer expressing the truth when applied to the complicated business known as modern farming. If we are to hold our own even on the farm, we've got to use more headwork in the future than we have in the past—Dallas Express. Money is not to be considered in the sense of being the best in the world, but money more people had better try and value of it more by saving it as they work and go on—Exchange. No wonder Jesus preached the brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God for he saw thousands of years before that live true after him—the ways of the people towards one another—Western Star. A great deal of trouble in the world is caused from the spirit of meanness in the people. So we will do a great service to overcome that spirit as it is dangerous to the life of the divine soul and human goodness and its progress in peace of man's and woman's uplift—Exchange. Curious Condensations The first paper mill in this country was erected in 1769, at Milton. Louisiana was purchased for $15,000,000 in 1803 from the French. Under the famous blue laws of Connecticut it was a crime for a mother to kiss her children on Sunday. Ice two inches thick, it is figured, will sustain infantry. Heavy field guns are sustained by ice six inches thick. The War of the Revolution cost $135,198,703; the War of 1812, $107,159,003; and the Civil war, $6,500,000,000. In the battle of Long Island, fought in Brooklyn, August 26, 4775, the Americans suffered a loss of 2,000 killed and wounded. The English lost 400. Dry hot applications at the painful points often do much to relieve neural pain. Salt or bran heated and placed in a bag, which should also be heated, is a convenient method of application. Out of the silent dark a voice seemed asking: What have you promised Life, oh, brother, say? That you should hang upon Life's promises? What have you given Life, oh, brother, pray? That you are hungry for the gifts of Life? Like a child by the sea, you sit, gathering the oars. And to the sea, brother, what cast you in return? Rather a wise and smiling soul, on bended knees You should receive each blessing as it comes; Receive the pain without a word and praise the gladness; Be thankful that you live and know your God! Macaroni and Ham. An excellent accompaniment to cold bolled ham is macaroni. A nice way to serve it is to heap the hot, boiled tubes in the center of a platter, with slices of ham surrounding it. Send to the table with a dish of Parmesan cheese and abundance of a savory tomato sauce. Finely Divided Meat The dissatisfaction of finely divided meat is not sufficiently appreciated; probably no food is tolerated so well by our stomachs, for even when the usasfir chemistry is deficient such food is easily not耐 of and causes no discomfort—Mr. Saundby.
