THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. VOL. II. NO. 20. First Hand Information About the Work of Individual Pastors by One of Their Brothers—Achievements of the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, Great Financier and Organizer. By Rev. J. M. HENDERSON, D. D. Chicago. The race has so far developed that you can no longer name an individual and thereby describe a community. Among the blind the man with one eye can easily be king; in a cornfield an oak tree, however scrublike, easily towers, but in a forest of giants only the tree of surpassing growth stands majestic. A man may be great in a little rural district, town or city and yet be but a prgmy when among the men of the great world. The day has passed when the A. M. E. church will accept as final the estimate of a man placed upon him by the circumscribed little world in which he lives and moves. To be great a man must be torn from his province and stood up side by side with the tall men of the great world. To prevent the election of four more bishops there is no way open except to resort to rotation and brave its dangers. Should it obtain, farewell to the chance of the honest man to ever reach the front. It is said enough as it is, and the church is too wise to make it worse. To continue the present system and elect four more bishops and retire two is what will likely be done. There is not one single individual all the vast field of the A. M. E. church who stands out in hold up and appeals to the connection eye. Like Samuel, the next general conference must go forth on a quest which will bring, much that will surprise. Many likely sons may pass unapproved, and it may be said, "Are here all REV. DR. A. J. CAREY. the childress." And the answer may be, "There remaineth not the youngest, and, behold, be for both the sheep." The word of complaint may be, "Stand and fath him, for we will not, sit down and be of much father." I have had the chance to give several weeks to the first real vacation of twenty all years, and I have put in the time making a study of our church and our people at Chicago. Part of the time I have spent in hospitals and midnight missions and places of amusement—amusement such as draws hundreds from our churches—some of the time of the leading churches of the other race and under conditions where I could get a fair grip of the candid opinion the world holds of our churches and men and race. In writing of the Chicago man I want before finishing to tell the church of the stone wall like Rev. Jesse Woods, D. D. of that marvel among pastors. Rev. Horace Grayes, D. D. of the pastor, preacher and publish the senior Dr. R. E. Wilson of the well known Dr. W. D. Chock pastor of Quinn, and of a number of men of whom the comedian is bound to know of their deeds before many years. I also want to tell of the J. T. Jefferson the most man of the synagogue. I will have tins to say of Dr. Timothy Moore, P. H. and of the worth of calm and just Bessie of C. T. Schaffer, M. D. D. D. Just my first two articles with Dr. A. J. Carey and Dig. I. P. Roberts. I know every blessy and all the prominent man of every part of our church who have been on the stage since 1850, and I can form a fair judgment of men. I am not now an advocate of any man, but my position is that of an independent and rather severe citizen, but honest, whose desire is to picture to the church away from here what I see in local environment and coloring. I will begin with Dr. A. J. Carey, because in point of service he is the senior of Dr. D. P. Roberts as a Chicago pastor, although in point of years he is much younger. It must be kept in mind that Dr. CIRCULATION INCREASED BY 2500 COPIES, SINCE JULY 1, 1910. B. F. Wassim, the secretary of the Church Extension society, is a member of the fourth Episcopal district, that he is a very popular ex-member of the fifth, that he is held in high esteem throughout the first and is now in the second district and would without doubt be the favorite of each of these districts should he be placed among any likely number from whom a choice had to be made. Dr. Carey is not a candidate for the episcopate, but because of his splendid record as a church financier his friends will be doubt urge him for the post of financial secretary. What was his work in Georgia and Florida as a pastor the brethren of these states can best tell. It is sufficient for present purposes to say that because of his work and fitness Bishop B. W. Arnett selected him for the pastorate of Quinn chapel, Chicago, which was at that time in terrible financial distress. During his pastorate six years about $21,000 was paid on the indebtedness; the pastor's salary was raised from $16 per week to the princely amount of $1,900 per year, bests parsonage, etc.; the dollar money was placed at so high a mark that it staggered some of the oldest heads when reported—from $180 to $151. The congregations became immense, and the order of service and the method of worship developed into models. He introduced the individual communion service. Dr. Carey was young and full of the fire of youth when he began his great task, and he was matured, strong and full of the masterly power of experience when he entered upon the pastorate of Bethel. That Bethel now slightly outranks Quinn chapel in the point of membership, assessments, etc. is a fact that came about since the administration of Dr. Carey ceased at Quinn. Dr. A. J. Carey during his eleven years' pastorate of these two great churches did not contentedly confine his labors to routine church work, but became acquainted with and entered heartily into the best activities of the community. He soon formed the acquaintance of the leading men and women of the city of both races who take an interest in public affairs and was thus able not only to raise thousands of dollars for the church, but also was able to do herbie service for the race in many ways. It was largely through his efforts that interest was aroused and steps taken which prevented the extradition of Steve Gloech. This notable achievement is but one among scores of like character. He is a member of the board of directors of the Chicago Law and Order league and of the advisory board of the American Institute. He has presided over the commission nominating conventions in his city. During the great peace congress held in this city it was through Dr. Carey that the only African-American on the program was given a place, and this was our own distinguished educator and orator, Professor II. T. Kealing. And at the great banquet held that evening in the gold room of the Auditorium hall, at which there were United States cabinet officers and envoys from every nation on earth. Dr. and Mrs. Carey were the only representatives of the Negro present. When the one hundred anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was celebrated in February, 1876, Dr. Carey was appointed by His honor Mayor Fred A. Lusso as the representative of his race on that committee and given an entire charge of the African-American part in this historic event. He planned and provided over the great meeting of the hundreds of our race in the history of the world, in which more than 55,000 people gathered in and around the Seventh regiment armor. The complete story of this celebration is found in a volume of 500 pages, entitled "Abraham Lincoln - The Tribute of a Century." In this volume both the addresses of Dr. Carey—one, "The Unissued Task," and the other, "The Other side of the Question"—are preserved along with fifty-eight other addresses by such eminent men as Governor Woodrow Wilson, United States Minister W. J. Calhoun and others. Colonel William McChesney, compiler of the work, declares that the two addresses of Dr. Carey were among the best delivered on that occasion and selected as two out of the sixty selected from over 2000 Lincoln day addresses. He is still a young man of sound health, wonderful physique and magnetic presence. His appearance and voice have caused many white people to then him to the endey and well known by the world. He is capable of performing tasks and is well trained in the motion, the instrument, the then, the now, the and always. What is he capable of doing now, and what promises of future success of energy and power. He is now possessing the institutional church and is doing great work that all but abandoned school. The institutional church can be developed into the greatest church of the race. Commencement at Keysville School. The commencement ceremonies of the Keysville Van Mission and Industrial school, of which Professor Allen J. Goode is principal, were held on Wednesday, April 21. Members of the graduating class who spoke were George F. Tyler, Hoy F. Walker, Charles J. Wartman and Miss Virginia M. Alexander. Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith. Optimistic View of Race Progress as Seen In Durham. What the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association Has Accomplished Should Give Great Encouragement to the Masses of Afro-Americans to Press Onward. By R. W. THOMPSON. Durham, N. C.—An institution of a truly national character, which merits a place in any discussion of the higher commercial endeavors of the colored people, is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association, with headquarters in Durham, the thriftless center of coloured people in the Old North State. The splendid article by Dr. Booker T. Washington in a recent issue of the New York Independent calling attention to the manifold attractions of Durham and the contrast afforded by the disasters that have befallen a number of unsound racial enterprises throughout the country emphasize in no uncertain way the commercial solidity represented by the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association. To refer to this association in these columns at this time is to pay a tribute to the worth of men who are succeeding because they are doing business on a firm business basis and to sound a note of encouragement to the masses that they may not be discouraged by reason of the failures that have come to other concerns that neglected to properly safeguard the interests of their investors. The abstract of the association's report for the year ended Dec. 31, 1910, discloses a volume of business, which should be a source of pride to every healthy minded Negro in the land-and of which the leaders of the movement have every reason to be proud. The books for the year show a total of business done amounting to $245,239, an increase of $25,138 over the previous year. The association was organized in 1909, and the first year's business amounted to $40. The next year it was $1,265. Each year the association has enjoyed a steady and substantial growth until the high water mark in 1911 has been reached, with evidence that there is no limit to the possibilities that the future holds out. Among its real estate holdings the company has four commodious office buildings of truly metropolitan type. It has in force a little over $1,500,000 worth of insurance. During its twelve years the company has paid over $500,000 in benefits to its members. Furthermore, it has a $20,000 cash bond in the hands of the South Carolina insurance commission as a guarantee for its policy holders in that state. All claims have been promptly paid, and managers and agents confidently assert that the business advertises itself wherever it is being operated. The instructions to agents, a copy of which has been widely circulated, indicate that a vigorous campaign is to be inaugurated looking to the extension of the association's operations far beyond its present confines. The entire country is to be included in its scope as rapidly as commercial prudence will admit. Visitors to Durham are astounded when they view the tangible results that are growing out of the activities of this immense enterprise. They see lucrative employment offered to growest and intelligent men and women of the race. They see the practical working out of the race problem by the esteem in which the colored people of the community are held by the best whites because of this demonstration of the capacity of the Negro for selfhelpfulness and his ability to cope with the most exacting commercial requirements of a peculiarly commercial age. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is directed by the most reliable coedent men in the south. They have characters, brains and business acumen of the highest order. They enjoy the confidence and esteem of both races. Their methods are the cleanest, and their credit is gifted. The official roster is as follows: John Merrick, president and founder; A. M. Moore, M. D., secretary and treasurer; C. C. Spandling, vice president and general manager; directors, John Merrick, A. M. Moore, M. D., C. C. Spandling, E. R. Merrick, J. M. Avery and J. H. Garner. There is no gainsaying the fact that it is to solid enterprises like the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association and to the type of men behind them that the Negro race must look for the permanent solution of the rexations problems of life and living that confront us day by day. They deserve and should receive our constant and most praerful support. Dunbar Normal Industrial School. The Commonwealth Trust company in St. Louis is security for funds which are now being raised for the erection of the Dunbar Normal, Industrial and Agricultural school. The board of directors has secured an option on a tract of 1,600 acres of land near Jonesburg, Mo., upon which suitable buildings will be erected and other portions of the site laid out for farming purposes.

Trusty, Pastor of Presbyterian Church Unusual interest was aroused at Grace Presbyterian church last week when Rev. Trusty, the new pastor, in teaching a scriptural lesson, took occasion to use the name of the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Women and the annual fair as an illustration of dishonesty. He charged the workers with taking more a ray from the fair in their baskets than they took to the fair and made an application to the dishonest action in repairing the temple at Jerurium. For a stranger to assail this Christian institution in the community is unusual. The statement, were it made by a person of established good standing in the community, would mean injury to the institution injustice to the different church denominations who contribute so liberally of their good workers workers insult to the board of managers and would be worthy of investigation. There are but few of the old settlers in the two cities who have not contributed their service to this institution at some time which shows the interest in the work too broad and liberal and any unkind charge affects a large number of good workers and well wishers. The management has made it a custom to publicly thank friends for services rendered the institution and we feel it a duty to publicly defend these same friends from false accusation. The kair dinner is provided and prepared by a committee and caterers and taken to the hall in a wagon and whatever is remaining of the dinner sent to the home by wagon. To explain the haskets—could the contents be exposed on entering the hall one would beakbld gas stove, gum hose, dish pans, hummers, mails, stone jars, lemon squeezers, table clothes, towels, dish rags, glisten approns, pretty vases for flowers, fancy water bottles and many other table decorations brought by the table tenders and booth operators from their several homes and are justly invited to take them away. Many these articles are taken to the hall on the day previous to the fair, then all must be taken away at one time which really makes an overflow hasket. This explanation will not satisfy the fair disposed but will have some coining with fair thinkers. This statement which charges dis honesty or course made by one who did not know whereof he spoke, but it is to be regretted that minister should stop to mingle gossip with his guest. The Home for Need Colored Women as she said, is a Christian home where the needs of the community and of our churches are aged, elected and held. There they have to do... prescribed to them the holy sacraments, communion and this thou... put in office on the God- manhood of all women. Mrs. M. M. Richards, president: Pearl O. M.

Eloquent Nebraskan Exhorted the Race to Adhere to Y. M. C. A. Ideas. Washington (Special). — William Jennings Bryan, orator, editor, statesman and sometime candidate for president of the United States, was the chief attraction at a monster meeting of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. Spacious and beautiful Howard theater was packed to the doors with one of the finest audiences of Afro-Americans gathered anywhere between the oceans. The Y. M. C. A. has never held a meeting that rivaled this one in point of numbers or enthusiasm, save that addressed last year at the Belasco theater by Dr. Booker T. Washington. The "peersie leader" of the militant democracy was cheered to the echo at frequent intervals throughout the half hour covered by his address, and although nothing of political or radical nature was broughed out in the talk, Mr. Bryan was visibly pleased with the tumultuous and sincere ovation accorded him by an audience of colored citizens in this cosmopolitan capital. The address of Mr. Bryan to the colored Y. M. C. A. was the first of the four speeches delivered by him in Washington. His theme was "Civilization," and the immeasurable influence of the Y. M. C. A. movement in advancing the highest type of civilization was dwelt upon in an entertaining and convincing fashion. He was a charter member of the organization in his home community, and regarded his card of identification as one of the proudest possessions. The eloquent Nebraskan exhorted the men to adhere strictly to the Y. M. C. A. idea, to support it with their voice, their influence and their money. It is cheaper, he said, to prevent crimes by remedial policies than to repair the well consequences growing out of vice. He stated that the heart should not be neglected for the training of the mind; that a strong body is essential to a strong heart and a strong mind. He said that man had been able to measure the breadth of a message in telegraphy, but that no man had yet been able to measure the breadth of a message of friendship and brotherly love which enanated from the heart. The Y. M. C. A., the speaker said, affords a general training which no other organization can give. It trains the heart, the soul and the physical body. Mr. Bryan was happily introduced by Mr. Lloyd C. Johnson, the capable secretary of the colored branch. At the close of the address of the distinguished guest, Mr. Bryan was whirled away in the high powered automobile of Dr. C. W. Cavaniss to continental hall, where another immense audience awaited him. At the Howard theater, following Mr. Bryan, a magnificent address was delivered by Dr. C. F. Harbour of New York, international committeeman of the Y. M. A. The Ellis Gloe club, led by Mr. Louis Ambier, sang, and the Wilberford organ orchestra rendered a number of selections under the direction of Phee J. Schoenman Hannettt. NEGROES TO REBUILD CHURCH. Bristol, Tenn — Special — The colored Zion Methodist church, on Fifth street, which was recently destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $9,000, with very little insurance, will be rebuilt. The pastor, Rev. L. A. Parrick, and members of his dock are at work now to raise the necessary funds. Show the white man that we are worthy of our existence here with him by applying ourselves to what which is good and uplifting. SECOND ANNUAL CONTEST RESULTS IN VICTORY FOR THE VIRGINIA SCHOOL The Initiative and Referendum Was the Subject Discussed This Year. Washington (Special).—The Triangular Debate league, composed of Attanta, Fisk and Howard universities, held its second annual contest recently, when representative teams of the three universities met at Atlanta, Ga.; Nashville, Tennessee, and Washington, D. C. The subject for debate was: "Resolved, That the initiative and referendum should be made a part of the legislative system of our states." Each university was represented by two teams, one of which argued the affirmative side of the question at home, and the negative away from home. The judges returned a decision in favor of the affirmative, when Howard-Atlanta teams met in Rankin Memorial chapel, Washington, D. C. Messrs S. T. Kelly, 1911; Frank A. Wimberly, 1913; Charles R. Washington, 1912, composed the Washington, and Silas S. Abrams, 1911; Robert B. Jefferson, 1911, and Thomas J. Henry made up the Atlanta team. In the main arguments both sides were evenly matched, but Howard excelled in the rebuttal. The Howard-Fisk debate took place in the Memorial hall on the latter's campus, which in spite of bad weather was filled with enthusiastic students and alumni. Fisk, and Howard are long-time rivals and the two teams were the best of their respective schools. Mesars, A. B. Lovette, 1911; J. E. Stamp, 1911, and C. H. Wesley, 1911, made up the Fisk team, and C. B. Abbrey, 1911; J. H. McMorris, 1911; J. M. Jackson, 1911, represented Howard. The latter team moved themselves the better forensic disputants and won the decision. Duplicating the performance of last year, the Washington school thus argued and won both sides of the question debated. The Atlanta Fisk teams met in Ware Memorial church on the former's campus. The Georgian school has not won a debate in five years, and this year the same hoodoos is with her. Atlanta was badly represented by Mesars, King, 1912; F. W. Turner, 1912; L. Jordan, 1911, and Fisk by J. Robertson, 1911; C. H. Payne, 1911; W. G. Tushar, 1911. Both sides showed conclusively that the initiative and referendum should or should not be made a part of the legislative system of our states, yet the Nashville team carried away the victory. The results of this year's debating in the league are identical with those of last year and show Howard to have two wins and no losses: Fisk one woh, and one lost: Atlanta two lost and none won. For the two years, Howard leads the league with four victories and no defeats. Fisk has an even break, with two victories and two defeats; Atlanta has four defeats. That the Triangular Debate league has successfully conducted the work for two years speaks well for the management and insures it a permanent place among the intercollegiate organizations. It marks the just successful attempt at organization and cooperation among colored colleges and shows what can be done with proper enterprise and spirit. Victory or defeat are no great matters; the essential things are the manly striving to excel and the feeling of friendliness enangered by the intercourse between colleges of different sections. HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM SENATOR LODGE INTRODUCES A BILL TO CREATE A HOME FOR COLORED PEOPLE COLORED PEOPLE. Washington. — (Special.)—Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has introduced a bill for the establishment of a national memorial home for aged and infirm colored people and working girls, and of an industrial farm for boys. The measure provides that the two hundred, thousand dollars the estates of deceased colored soldiers of the Civil war which was in the hands of the commissioners and Freedmen's Thread, and has been repaid into the treasury of the United States," shall be appropriated for the establishment of the "home" and the industrial farm. The home is to be in the district and the farm will be located in Virginia. Rev. James L. White is vigorously pushing the bill. A large Hamburg restaurant is housed in a building of compressed paper. A book dated 1795 contains a description and illustration of a fountain pen. A Russian wedding feast sometimes covers a period of three days. Tribes inhabiting barren lands of vast distances are said to have the best sight. An India rubber gatherer of Brazil averages sixteen pounds of juice every day. FIVE CENTS A COPY.

Burton Ceruti, Past Grand Chancellor Clark and Grand Chancellor Mauzon—Supremo Lodge Meets in Brooklyn in June. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. The most interesting event in secret societies in Brooklyn for the week ending April 29 was the grand mask and civic carnival given by Ben-Hur lodge. No. 19, Knights of Pythias, at Prospect hall. Among the principal features of the evening aside from the many social parts on the program were an exhibition drill by Hannibal division. No. 8 and the review of the entire New York battalion by the commanding major, K. Burton Caruti, and staff, which included Past Grand Chancellor and Judge Advocate R. E. Clark and Grand Chancellor D. W. Mouzon. The attendance was large, and the gathering of the various divisions of the order in the section provided for the guests was the scene of much enthusiasm. Progressive lodge, Knexior lodge, Dacian lodge, Mayflower court, Naomi court, Plymouth Rock lodge, Langton and Eureka divisions, each tied with the other in numbers and appearance on the floor of the spacious auditorium in the drill and the other military exercises. Ben-Hur lodge. No. 19, was organized in October, 1908, through the efforts of Wil- WILLIAM H. M'FARLAND. Ilam H. McFarland, a member of Excelsior lodge, No. C. He is now a member of Ben-Hur lodge and is also past grand chancellor commander of the order. Ben-Hur lodge prides itself on having among its members some of the most prominent and influential citizens of Greater New York. In less than eight months after its organization a uniform rank was formed and set up in connection with Hannibal division, No. 8. E. Burton Ceruti being elected captain. The rapid growth of the division under the leadership of Mr. Ceruti soon attracted the attention of the New York battalion, and he was accordingly promoted to the position of commanding major of the entire New York battalion. Though young in years and executive experience, Ben-Hur lodge became very conspicuous for the part which it took in defeating the attempt of the supreme lodge to put through in New York state the endowment plan which has proved so disastrous to the well being of the order in other states. Plans are rapidly being perfected for battalion headquarters which will place Hannibal division upon a firm working basis. The grand lodge which meets in Brooklyn in June will be the guest of Ben-Hur. No. 19. Much credit it is due Chairman J. Robert Brooks and his committee of arrangements for the able and successful manner in which they conducted the grand carnival. The officers of the lodge nr. Major E. B. Cerutl, C. C.; E.

McFarland, M. of F; Gaston Smith, M. of A.; Robert H. Lee, outer guard. Past chancellor commanders are Robert Raymond and Walter Kelly, and William H. McFarland is past grand chancellor commander. Colored Soldiers For National Guard. Assemblyman Curviller has recently introduced a bill in the legislature at Albany. N. Y. providing for the organization of a regiment of colored men. The measure has already received the favorable consideration of the war department. The colored citizens of New York city and vicinity have been advocating such a measure for the past six months. The addition of a regiment of a thousand colored soldiers to the national guard of New York will mean much. WHEN A MAN MARRIES TWO CHAPTER XII. (Continued.) "I wish you would all go out." I said wearily. "If every man in the house says he didn't try to get over to the next roof last night, 'well and good. But you might look and see if the board is still lying where it fell." There was an instantaneous rush for the window, and a second paue. Then Jimmy's voice, incredulous, awed: "Well, I'll be—blessed! There're the board!" I stared in my room all that day My head really ached and then, too, I did not care to meet Mr. Harbison. It would have to come: I realized that a meeting was inevitable, but I wanted time; to think how I would meet him. It would be impossible to cut him, without rousing the curiosity of the others to fever pitch; and it was equally impossible to ignore the disgraceful episode on the stairs. As it happened, however, I need not have worried. I went down to dinner, languidly, when one one was seated, and found Max at my rite. Harbison moved beside Bella, and he was talking at once, for Hannigan, ambling around the table as ally as he walked his beat, had presented Bella with her bracelet on a salad plate, garnished with romaine. He had found it in the furnace room, he said, where she must have dropped it. And he looked at me stealthily, to approve my mendacity! Every one was famished, and as they ate they discussed the board in the area-way, and pretended to deride it as a clever bit of press work, to revive a dring sensation. No one was deceived: Anne's pearls and the attempt at escape, coming just after, pointed only to one thing. I looked around the table, dazed, Flannigan, almost the only unknown quantity, might have tried to escape the night before, but he would not have been in dress clothes. Besides, he must be eliminated as far as the pearls were concerned, having been locked in the furnace room the night they were stolen. There was no one among the girls to suspect. The Mercer girls had attaining pearls, and could, secure all they wanted legitimately; and Bess disliked them. Oh, there was no question about it. I decided: Dallas and Anne had taken a wolf to their boom—or is it a viper?—and the Harbison man was the creature. Although I must say that, looking over the table, at Jimmy's breadth and not very imposing personality, at Max's lean length, sallow skin and bold dark eyes, at Dallas, blond, growing bald and florid, and then at the Harbison boy, tall, muscular, clear-eyed and unburned, one would have taken Max at first choice as the villain, with Dal next, Jim third, and the Harbison boy not in the running. It was just after dinner that the surprise was sprung on me. Mr. Harbison came around to me, gravely, and asked me if I felt able to go up on the roof. On the roof, after last night! Thad to gather myself together; jerkly, the others were pushing back their chairs, showing Flanigan the liquor, glasses to take up, and lighting clearers. "I do not care to go," I said felty. "The others are coming," he per- sisted, "and I—I could give you an arm up the stairs." "I believe you are good at that." I said, looking at him steadily. "Max, will you help me to the roof?" Mr. Harbison really turned, rather white. Then he bowed ceremoniously and left me. Max got me a wrap, and every one except Mr. Harbison and Bella, who was taking a mass of indigestibles to launt Selina, went to the roof. "Where is Tom?" Anne asked, as we reached the foot of the stairs. "Gone ahead to fix things," was the answer. But he was not there. At the top of the last flight I stopped, dumb with amazement; the roof had been transformed, enchanted. It was a fairyland of lights and foliage and colors. I had to stop and rub my eyes. From the weakness of a tin roof in February to the brightness and greenery of a July. roof garden! "You were the immediate inspiration," Dallas said. "Harbison thought your headache might come from lack of exercise and fresh air, and he has worked us like nailers all day. I've a blister on my right palm, and Harbison got shocked while he was wring the place, and nearly fell over the parapet. We bought out two full-sized florists by telephone." He raised a glass of benzene and poured for a moment, melodramatically. "To the Wilson roof garden!" he said. "To Kit, who inspired; to the creators, who perspired; and to Takahiro—may he not have expired." Every one was very gay; I think the knowledge that tomorrow Aunt Selina might be with them urged them to make the most of this last night of freedom. I tried to be jolly, and succeeded in being feverish. Mr. Harbison did not come up to enjoy what he had wrought. Jim brought up his guitar and sang love songs in a beautiful tenor, looking at Bella all the time. And Bella sat in a steamer chair, with a rug over her and a spangled veil on her head, looking at the boats on the river—about as soft and as chastened as an acetylene head light. And after Max had told the most improbable tale, which Lella advised him to sprinkle salt up, and Dallas had done a clog dance, Bella said it was time for her complexion sleep and went downstairs, and broke up the party. "If she only gave half as much care WATER L. W. F. "Lord! the cook next door—" to her immortal soul," Anne said when she had gone, "as she does to her skin, she would let that nice Harbison boy alone." She must have been brutal to him tonight, for he went to bed at nine o'clock. At least, I suppose he went to bed, for he shut himself in the studio, and when I knocked he advised me not to come in." I had pleaded my headache an excuse for avoiding Aunt Selina all day, and she had not sent for me. Bella was really quite extraordinary. She was never in the habit of putting herself out, for any one, and she always declared that the very odor of a sickroom drove her to Scotch- and soda. But here she was, rubbing Aunt Selina's back with chloroform liniment—and you know how that smells—getting her up in a chair, dressed in one of Bella's wadded silk robes, with pillows under her feet, and then doing her hair in elaborate puffs—braiding her gray switch and bringing it, coronet-fashion, around the top of her head. She even put rice powder on Aunt Selina's nose and dabbed violet water, behind her ears, and said she couldn't understand why she (Aunt Selina) had never married, but, of course, she probably would some day! The result was, naturally, that the old lady didn't let Bella out of her sight, except to go to the kitchen for something to eat for her. That very day Bella got the doctor to order ale for Aunt Selina (oh, yes; the doctor could come in; Dal said "it was all coming in, and nothing going out") and she had three pints of Bass, and learned to eat anchovies and caviar—all in one day. Bella's conduct to Jim was disgraceful. She snubbed him, ignored him, tramped on him, and Jim was growing positively fabby. He spent most of his time writing letters to the board of health and playing solitary. He was a pathetic figure. Some time during the early part of the night I wakened, and another turning and twisting uneasily. That I was cold. The coach in Bella dressing room, comfortable enough, but narrow and low. I remember distinctly (that was what I was denying). Everybody thought I dreamed it; I remember setting an elderdown comfort that was folded at my feet, and sailing it up around me. In the luxury of its warmth I snugged down and went to sleep almost instantly. It seemed to me I had slept for hours, but it was probably an hour or less, when something roused me. The room was perfectly dark, and there was not a sound she faint ticking of the clock, but I was wide awake. And then came the incident that is its ghastly, horrible absurdity made the rest of the people shout with laughter the next day. It was not funny then. For suddenly the elder-down comfort began to slip. I heard no footstep, not the elightest sound approaching me, but the comfort moved; from my chin, inch by inch, it slipped to my shoulders; fully, it evitably, hairraising it moved. I could feel my blood around my heart, leaving my cold and nerveless it slipped my hands I gave an involuntary clutch for it, to feel it slip away from my fingers. They all the full horror of the situation took hold of me; as the comfort sldt past my feet I sat up and screamed at the top of my volce. Of course, people came running in in all sorts of things. I was still sitting up, declaring I had seen a ghost and that the house was haunted. Dallas was struggling for the second arm hole of his dressing gown, and Bella had already turned on the lights. They said I had had a nightmare, and not to sleep on my back, and perhaps I was taking gripe. When we heard Jimmy run down the stairs, and fall over some thing, almost breaking his wrist. It was the elderdum comfort, half-way up the studio staircase! Aunt Selina got, up the next morning and Jim told her all the strange things that had been happening. She fixed on Flannigan, of course, although she still suspected Betty or her watch and other valuables. The incident of the comfort she called nervous indigestion and bad hours. She spent the entire day going through the storeroom and linen ```markdown ``` closets, and running her fingers over things for dust. When never she found any she looked at him, drew a long breath, and said, "Poor James!" It was maddening. And when she went through his clothes and found some buttons off (Jim didn't keep a man, and Takahiro did stop at his boot) she looked at me quite awfully. "His mother was a perfect housekeeper," she said. "James was brought up in clothes with the buttons on, put on clean shelves." "Didn't they put them on him?" I asked, almost hysterically. It. had been a bad morning, after a worse night. Every one had found fault with the breakfast, and they straggled down one at a time until I was frantic. Then Flannigan had talked at me about the pearls, and, Mr. Harblson had said, "Good morning," very stiff, and nearly rattled the inside of the furnace out. Early in the morning, too, I overheard a scrap of conversation between the policeman and our gentleman adventurer from South America. Something had gone wrong with the telephone and Mr. Harbison was fussing over it with a screw driver and a pair of sclessors—all the tops he could find. Flannigan was lifting rugs to shake them on the roof—Bella's order. "Wash the table linen?" he was grumbling. "I'll do what I can that's necessary. Grub has to be cooked, and dishes has to be washed—I admit that. If you're particular, make up your bed every day; I don't object. But don't tell me we have to use 32 table napkins a day. What did folks do before napkins was invented? Tell me that!"—triemphantly. "What's the answer?" Mr. Harbison inquired abently, evidently with the screwdriver in his mouth. "Used their pocket handkerchiefs Wash clothes I will not." "Well, don't worry Mrs. Wilson about it," the other voice said. Flanigan straightened himself with a grunt. "Mrs. Wilson!' he said. "A lot she would worry. She's been a disappointment to me, Mr. Harbison, me thinking that now she'd come back to him, after learnin' him the way she did, they'd be like two turtle doves. Lord! the cook next door—" (TO BE CONTINUED) THE COURIER. (By Junus Smith) The Choral A. C. organized with the following players: A. Laws, W. Phillips, R. Philips, O. Butler, L. Porter, W. Bell, P.

NEGROES SHOULD BE PATIENT PRESSIMISTIC VIEWS HAVE NEVER DONE ANY RACE ANY GOOD. Thomaston, Ga. — (Special.)—Rev. Richard D. Stinson of Atlanta, by invitation, spoke to the colored people here on "Practical Education for the Masses-How It Will Adjust Conditions; Ald Amicable Relations and Develop the New South." Stinson said, among other things: "If history and the version of good people are regarded it takes a long time to lay the foundation of a race. Whatever irregularities exist among us, there is no question but that the conscience of the best people in every community, as well as the high-class and honest press of our section are fully cognizant that righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." "An unselfish, honest, pure and intelligent leadership, backed up by a practical schoolhouse where we live, is the greatest asset of the negro race for fifty years to come." "The south is the home of the large numbers of our race for years, and an optimistic leadership will mean everything good to our children. Pessimistic views and unwise preachments can but add bloom and depravity." RELIGION AIDS THE NEGRO SO DECLARES RICHARD D. STINSON IN A SPEECH AT LITTLE BOCK, ARK. Little Rock, Ark.—(Special.—Rev Richard D. Stinson of Atlanta, Ga., preached the Easter day sermon in Bethel A. M. E. church here. Rev Dr. J. O. Iverson, who is a prominent leader of his race in this city, and is building a $40,000 church, is pastor. Among other things, Stinson said: "The celebration of Easter should mean more to us, as a race, than display of fine clothes and a jolly good time. We were brought to this country some years ago with nothing that we could call our own; in fact, we were heathen, and when we recount the progress we have made we should be the most grateful of all people on the earth. The religion of Jesus Christ, the American schoolhouse and good people have done everything for the negro. I wonder if we are capable in large numbers of appreciating it, and if we may keep sober, and practical education is given a chance, with a Christian leadership, it has not yet appeared what the conservative, honest members of our race are to be." COLORED WAITERS LOSE JOB WHITE MAN' AND WIFE TAKE PLACE OF NEGRO WAITERS ON DINING CARS. -Sloux City, L.I.—(Special.)—The Chicago and Northwestern railway has recently been trying out an innovation in its dining car service which thus far has brought most successful results according to officials of the road. Negro waiters have climbed on the porch car operated between Chicago and Sloux City. On trains No. 20 and 17 for the last six months, and in their places a white man and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Garnier, have been placed in complete charge of the car. Mr. Garnier dispensed with the colored waiters and has himself acted as conductor and assistant waiter while Mrs. Garnier has served as waitress. NEW WHITE MAN'S HOPE BOSTON IS TOUTING A MAN TO TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP AWAY FROM JACK JOHNSON. Boston, Mass.—(Special.)—Another possible "white man's hope" was uncovered in the opinion of many persons at the national amateur boxing championship tournament at Mechanics' hall, when John Severino, a 200-pound member of the Armory A. A. of Boston won the heavyweight championship by disposing of Joseph Burk Cox, also of Boston. In fifty-six seconds with a sledgehammer right. It had required only two rounds for him to put away T.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS SATURDAY, MAY 6. 1911 Fisk university, at Nashville, not a local but a national rater in possible solution of the negro problem in America, was founded by the American Missionary association, and is a missionary agency in every sense. The general education board has just granted to it $80,000, upon condition that a further sum of $240,000 be secured toward enlargement of facilities and endowment. Trustees of the university dechare that not $300,000 only, but half a million dollars must be had to properly equip and advance the institution. Fisk has about 500 colored students and since, its foundation immediately following the close of the Civil war, it has sent out 775 graduates. Most of, thees are teachers in schools of the negro race, and many are, men and women of influence in the communities. It is estimated that at the moment 15,000 negro children are in classes taught by graduates of Fisk. The trustees say that white and colored men, most familiar with race conditions, and needs, are convinced that education, chiefly industrial under trained leadership by men and women of the colored race, alone will solve the problem of the races, how looming large. Fisk and the American Missionary association, which is Congregational home work, co-operate in the largest sense with Tuskegee, Hampton, Lawrenceville, and other industrial training agencies for colored youth—Dallas. (Tex.) Express. We note with a degree of displeasure that for some time a large number of exchanges have been using matter cut from our columns, without giving us any credit at all. This is wrong. Credit to whom credit is due. A colored editor is quite unlike a white editor. The white editor occupies all his time in writing; the colored editor not only has to do all the writing on the editorial page, but he has to hustle up new business, take subscriptions and advertisements, collect and circulate the paper, as well as to look after the financial end of the business, and in many instances he has to work all night setting up most of the type, and hence has little or no time to write editorials. All we ask is that credit be given us when you draw upon our columns, as our matter is free to all journals, of whatever faith. -Memphis News. A colored woman, was brought before a West Virginia magistrate, charged with inhuman treatment of her child. Evidence was clear that she had severely beaten the younger, who was in court to exhibit his mails and bruises. Before imposing sentence, the magistrate asked the woman, if she had anything to say. "Kin Ah ask yo' honah a question?" His honor nodded. "Well, then, yo' honah. I'd like to ask yo' whether yo' was ever the parent of a puffockly wretch a culled chilf?" The new minister in a Georgia church was delivering his first sermon. The daddyitor was a critical listener from a back corner of the church. The minister's sermon was eloquent, and the prayers seemed to cover the whole category of human wants. After the services one of the denomics asked the old darky what he thought of the new minister. "Don't you think he covers up a good prayer, Joe?" "Ah, most sustainably does, boss. Why don't man do de good Lord of things that de older preacher didn't even know so bad!" Every major man in the south ought to buy a home and the great majority of men should buy our homes in the rural districts and undertake to grow a strong and idlethought class of worth products. The south is happy in need of a trustworthy servant class and if the negro does not substantially improve the efficiency and reliability of his service, he must, as a natural consequence, lose out. After a long illness, John Trower probably the wealthiest man in the United States, did recently at his home in Germantown, a suburb of Philadelphia. Trower, whose fortune is said to amount to $1,500,000, was dismissed in church work, and found of a barristery in Doylestown, Mt., near Philadelphia. He was 61 years old.—Charleston (Va.) Messenger.

Strings we use are the simple commonest that we think the most of Take Today for instance, why it might. Respect us in life—this common way of taking life—is the most (S. C. Messenger). You might who are harding on race support and enterprise, and are not dolling your duty to ward the cause advanced, should cause your howling aid in, with the right crowd, who means to abide by what they preach. Palstine Tex. Plaindealer. The white man puts great stress on the moral standard of the negro, which he says, is too low, and is objection to equalization along some lines. The negro must be careful about your moral standard, for it is he leading essential of race-building promotion. Do not mistake life for pleasures only; for we have something else to live for. Ability to cook a good meal is the first aid to matrimony, girls; be wise. The following news item sent out from New Orleans shows how solicitous the authorities down there have become regarding the morals of Negro girls: New Orleans, LA—The Rev. Father C.F. Sheckler, priest in the Copley Church at Abyssinia, graduate of Oxford, student at Cambridge, former president of the University of Valina at Gondar, East Africa, fellow of the Royal Scientific society, educational and ecclesiastical envoy of King Menelik II. to the United States at the St. Louis exposition, is in jail. He is likely to stay there awhile, for Justice Dale of Gulfport, says he is no better than a Mississippi plantation Negro in his eyes. The black lecturer has addressed letters to Bishop Turner of Atlanta, hoping for assistance. He has been speaking and preaching throughout Eastern Canada and the Eastern States, and in the South, as his scrap book of chippings shows. The charge is that he made improper advances to a little Negro girl at Howison. In a recent address at Atlanta, Georgia, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt said: "The agricultural college is one of the best influences at work in the country today. A great deal of alarm has been shown when cities grow at the expense of the country. This is bad for the whites, but infinitely worse for the Negroes. I have seen too many sons of respectable farmers move to the city and become worthless loafers. It is for the reason that I have taken such interest in Clark university, which is doing excellent work along this line. It is for the good of both the whites and the blacks that the Negroes should be competent farmers." It looks very discouraging to see our young men lounging around on the streets, at stables, etc., on Sundays, while the churches and Christian institutions of the other race are filled with their young men. You young men should awaken from that spirit of inertness and slothfulness, and stand up as a moral example for our race. The young negro is the one being watched, and he should lead a life that would be appreciated and recognized by both races—Palestine (Tex.) Pialdealer. Canada is becoming scared over the large influx of negroes into the Dominion, and the fear is expressed that if the immigration becomes too great in volume, a negro problem will develop there. The freedom from restrictive laws renders Canada a very inviting region for the colored-people of this country, who are growing dissatisfied with the increasing prejudice existing in some sections of the United States. Once upon a time a lonely little boy began praying for a baby brother. Finally he suggested that he had waited a long time and hoped the Lord would hurry up matters. In a few days the "little brother" arrived Looking at the baby the little boy said: "Gee! It feels a great looking think! Can't talk, can't walk, ain't got any hair and he ain't got any teeth he ain't finished! Wish I hadn't been in such a darned hurry!" Whenever our representatives are men and women of our race who are able to take care of themselves and are touring parts of the country in the interest of giving instruction and advice, in the way of uplift, etc., the commumassresses should not be ridden so much in their local communities of admission charges. The masses of our people even in Calveston should give this matter attention.—Calveston (Tex.) Times. "Stain spending your money with the shop store, the drug firm, the furniture house the grocery, the dry goods store, the dry shop, the tailor, the undertaker or banker that is afraid to advertise in this paper. Tell your deal or that if he exposes the support of the colored citizens he must adverise his goods before he can have any claim on the trade—Memphis (Tenn.) Times. The city authorities of New Orleans are contemplating the passing of an act suggesting Negroes to certain districts in the city. These segregating ordinances do not apply to Negro servants. Proves that it would appear that the head and front of the Negroes offending is the fact that all of them are not servants. And this is a gospel land and a Christian country too, so they say. Some of our people might in standing around in clusters on the streets igniting and debating over civil rights affairs. Carry your arguments here or somewhere else to settle them stop laying the sidewalks. Remember these are other people who have rights to the sidewalks. Booker T. Washington has been completely vindicated and the most useful and helpful possibility of the race has been assured. In Mr. Washington's trials we are all on trial, and in his vindication the race triumphs. The farmers are now getting a good reason for their crops. It has been raining one or two days out of each week for the past five weeks. If the average negro leader could be successfully disposed of, the race would materially advance in wealth and respectability. Train the young minds, for their development means much for a race. Teach a little more race support. It is needed very badly among it. NEGRO REGIMENT WILL BE USEE FOR PATROL DUTY IN TEXAS. Washington.—(Special.)—The flurry over the disposition of the Ninth cavalry is at an end. By order of Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, the colored troops will take their turn at patrolling the Mexican border and will replace the Third cavalry, relieving the latter in order that it may have a chance to receive instructions in the maneuver camp at San Antonio. General Carter, in command of the maneuver division, will have charge of the distribution of the Ninth cavalry, and while Sam Fordyce, Laredo, Eagle Paas, Marathon, Presidio del Notre, Marta, Harack, Mahora and other points on... Rio Grande will be covered, it is expressly stated that under no circumstances will they be sent to Brownville, of 25th infantry famer. The Ninth will be the divisional cavalry of the maneuver division. The war department will pay no serious attention to the howl raised by a few of the border towns, which do not want a Negro regiment "in their midst." Even the Washington Post has had the generosity to say that "it goes against the grain of a Texas white man to see a Negro in military uniform, manipulating a gun," adding sagely, that "it has the same effect upon them as the waving of a red flag in the face of a bull." The matter of placing the colored troops is always a delicate problem, north or south, and in this particular instance it is evident that the president and the war department are determined to do their level best to preserve the peace, maintain the dignity of the army establishment, and use the gallant Ninth according to the needs of the service, independent of the whims and absurd fears of the bourbons along the Texan frontier. No one here believes that in stirring up this racial embroglio, Representative Garner has chosen "the better part." MISSISSIPPI'S PREPARATIONS CITIZENS OF MERIDIAN WILL ENTERTAIN SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS IN A LAVISH MANNER. Meridian, Miss.—(Special.)—Plans are completed for the entertainment of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Chautauqua which is to be held here June 7 to 12, and will be the greatest convention of Sunday Schoc workers ever held in this country. The plan of calling together the Sunday School workers for the purpose of doing better and more efficient work toward reaching the young people was inaugurated several years ago through the Home Mission board and the National Baptist convention. Interest in the work has grown each year and the delegation has increased until now almost every state in the union is represented by strong men and women who are directly interested in the salvation of the young people. There will be many new features this year of interest to teachers and superintendents of, Sunday schools which will add to the large crowd. Departmental meetings will be conducted, by expert Sunday school workers which will include superintendent en's conference, men's Bible class meetings, advanced, intermediate and primary teachers' meeting, missionary and educational conferences. Some of the very best men of the race will take part in these special meetings. Rev. Ford, pastor of Bethel Institutional church, Jacksonville, Fla., who is a graduate of the University of Chicago, will conduct a Bible conference from 5 to 9 each morning during the congress. NEGROES ARE STILL MOVING EXODUS FROM OKLAHOMA TO POINTS IN CANADA IS SAID TO BE INCREASING. Guthrie, Okla. — (Special) — The exodus of negroes from this state to Alberta, Canada, which started several months ago, is continuing despite the fact that it is not encouraged by the Canadian government. Twenty more farmers from near Fallis, Lincoln county, left here to join the colony in Alberta. They expect to take claims and immediately build homes and start their crops, after which their families numb in all about 200 persons, will join them. It is said here that a colonization company is financing the necropsies during the first season. SIGN SEGREGATION ORDINANCE MAYOR OF BALTIMORE AFFIXES HIS SIGNATURE TO NEW LAW AFFECTING NEGROES. Baltimore, Md. Specially - Mayor J. Harry Method has announced a hostility to the race by signing the new segregation order. The new measure does not allow any colored people to move into white negotiation holds, and for churches and other places of public assembly to be located thereon in the future. It does not affect existing conditions, and as a preface of being fair, the law is made to apply to the whites also. A penalty of $50 a day accrues any who violates its provisions.

"The clock strikes one, we take no note of time," sang Young in his "Night Thoughts." Were Young living today he would get much more poetry from the speaking than from the striking timepiece. The new "time-stating clock," invented in Germany, announces the hours and quarters in "an agreeable voice." Its wheels actuate a stout belt, which runs over a roll connected with a sounding box. Upon this belt, or rather film, the hours, which have been recorded by a phonograph, are impressed by galvanization on a copper plate. The mechanism which moves the hands is connected with the speaking device, and this with a funnel which re-enforces the sound and projects it outward through a finely grated opening attached to the narrow side of the clock. At night a touch on a lever reduces the clock to silence. But if one wakes and wishes to know the hour without striking a light, an easily found button is pressed and the clock immediately states the time. The speech film is practically indestructible and occupies very little space since because of its elasticity it may be wound upon a very small roller. THIS THE WIDOW REJECTED Refused to Receive "One Housewife" Listed in Effects Left by Her Soldier Husband. The regulation which provides that upon the death of a soldier a complete inventory of his effects shall be sent to his next of kin gave rise to an amusing incident at one of our south- western army posts recently. Private Blank, recently returned from a two years' tour of duty in the Philippines, having departed this life, the officer in charge forwarded to his wife in a small Ohio town an itemized list of the property of the deceased, with a request that she check off the articles that she desired so that the balance could be sold. In due time the list was returned, asking that all the articles except the one erased be forwarded. That one item had been so seracated, erased and blotted out that it was entirely obliterated. The officer's curiosity was aroused, so he referred to a carbon copy, whereupon he discovered that the indignant widow had no desire to harbor her late husband's one housewife. — Lippincott's.

WORK CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED 2815 Wylie Avenue. Pittsburg, Pa. The Original Poro Hair Grower MRS. FOPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. 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. Imitation is the sincerest flattery; and the fact that so many people in St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to imitate "PORO" HAIR GROWER is the best proof of the merits of "Poro." We 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 we used the preparation which is known as "Poro." This is made and sold exclusively by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From its use in my treatments hundreds have received direct benefit. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "Poro" it will continue to do so only this the hair and scalp be kept clean. Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford, by using mere imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. 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 stains the falling and starts the hair to growing at once.

He hired thousands of mercenaries from the Northern Kingdq. to- ald him in the war. When a prophet re Duked Bim for thus tnvolving biméelt with an {dolatrous nation he dismiss ed the mercenaries, who, on thelr way home, plundered the'cities of. Juan. ‘Amaziah went on, however, and wit his own troops conquered ‘the Edom- {tes in the Valley of Salt south of thie Dead Sea, and thoroughly sud- dued ‘the cruel nation. He brought home with him some of the Edomite idols and worshiped them, thus dishanoring Jehovah, who had: so signally ‘helped bim, in favor of gods who bad proved thelr own powerlessnoss! A courageous prophet rebuked bim, but we are told what the effect was. In bis pride of success, and perhaps to avenge the towns which the Ierael- ftish mercenaries bad plundered, he Aegt a boastful message to Joash king of Israel, challenging him to fight. Jo ash promptly: accepted the challenge, completely worsted Aibaziah, captured Jerusalem, and went away.with all the treasure of the Temple and royal pal- ace, and with many of the citicens as hostages. Amariah continued to telgn for fifteen years, but his sub- fect never were contented, and at last thoy rose Jn revélt and murdered him. ‘Tiro son. of Amaziab, Uzziab, a lad of sixteen, was chosen by the peéple, He continued bis father’s conquest, of the Edomites by fortifying Elothe an tmopdriameclty-at the held of the east: ern braid of the Red Sea, thus put- ‘Ung Judah in a position to renew the ich Commerge with India which Solo mon had established. ~ Eezlah’s was @ religious Ife.” He Ald that which was right in the sight af the Lord.

As a result of conquest and of commercial enterprise the accumulation of wesith was greater than had ever-“been known before. The rich lived tr palaces of hewn stqne aud of ivory. They reposed od couches with damask coverings. Thoy“lay upon beds of ivory, and stretched themselves upor sofas. They ate lambs gelected oul af the flocks, and calves fattened iz the stall. They sang to the accom panlment of harps gongs that they thought as fine aa those of David They drank beakers of rare wine, ané anointed themselves with precious cintments. This prosperity, however, wag restricted to the upper classes, While the nobles floufished, fe poor grew constantly poorer. The peasant proprietors were crowded out, and all the land came fotowbe hands of a few great nobles._ The free-born Israelites sank to the position of serfs. Pro perlty has more perils than adversity, and pride is one ofthem. Dressed, a0 cording to Josepbus, in priestly attire, ‘and perhaps on tho celebration of some high national feast, Uzziah presimed to enter the Holy Place, whch it war death for’ any but a priest’ to enter, and to offer incense ypon the sacred altar. Uzziah appears to have desired tw become supreme pontiff as well as king, and to exercise the same dual functions as the Egyptian Pharaohe were wont todo. He had to disregard the direct command of Jebovalr that the priests alone should burn incense om his aitar; be trad to despise tbe his tory of kia people, to defy the holy ame by which lw bimsglt was called This a reign ef Gftytwo years wag spoied in an aver.

Fighting the Mongoose In Jamaica there is a premium on the head of every mongoose. Like the English sparrow, the Indian mongoose was imported to Jamaica to drive out snakes, but the agent became, in turn, a pest itself, and the mongoose. In addition to killing snakes, killed chickens and practically every small thing that came within its reach. Consequently, its doom was sealed and a price set upon its head. The United States was forced to follow, and the mongoose can only come into this country by the smuggling process, unless directed to a goo. THE ELECTRICAL WORLD By Pressing a Button at Night Owner of Recently Invented Device May Tell Time. "Yankee ingenuity" has been eclipsed by the Englishman who invented the ceiling clock. Awaking in the middle of the night, the owner of one of these devices can have the clock dial reflected on the ceiling above his bed by the mere pressing of a button. The clock is mounted on a stand which contains an electric battery. It is swiveled on a pair of uprights and during the day assumes the position of any ordinary timepiece. At night it is turned so that its dial faces the ceiling. A flexible cord with a push button at the free end extends to the bed. The owner need not get up to learn the time, but can simply press the button. Instantly the clock face is lighted up and a magnified reflection of it appears on the ceiling. Removal of the Clock Face on Ceiling. pressure on the button extinguishes the light and the owner knows whether it is time to get up or whether he can take 40 winks more. TO RESTORE OLD PAINTINGS Marvelous Results Obtained by Frenchman in Experiments With Electrical Currents. A strange case has been going on for some time in the Paris law courts concerning a process for restoring old paintings, claimed to have been invented by a prisoner who is being prosecuted-on the charge of having obtained money on the pretext of the success of his method. This method is a mysterious kind of application of electric currents to the pictures in question. The prosecution seemed to have strong arguments at first, but now the state of the case has suddenly changed, since the well-known painter, M. Tony Robert-Fleury, a former president of the Soclete des Artistes Francais, has come forward and given evidence in favor of the prisoner, M. Robert-Fleury said that the prisoner had long been a pupil of his and he had witnessed some experiments. The results were really marvelous. "They seemed to me extraordinary," said M. Robert-Fleury. "He sent certain currents through the picture, which caused an exudation. He absorbed this with cotton waste. The painting is restored to a virgin state without being. In the least deteriorated. All the black, oily grease is eliminated and the painting is rewarmed with astonishing rapidity. I gave him an old portrait of my father out of my studio: It was in a terrible state of grease, accumulated by age. In half an hour it was cleaned of all oily matter and restored to freshness. The leaden salts were eliminated and the color came back to the picture, which is now saved." Electric Life Buoy An electrically lighted life buoy has been brought out by an English firm for use in places where workers are exposed to the risk of drowning, as in docks and on shipboard. It carries two nine candle-power electric lamps above the water and two below the surface, and in clear weather the light from these is visible to a considerable distance. The two primary batteries feeding the lamps are sealed until the buoy is lifted from its rack. This action automatically lights the lamps, and they continue illuminated for three or four hours. The weight of the buoy is but 25 pounds. In the tests made, a man of average weight was carried by the buoy while lying across, and three men kept their heads up by its means when their bodies were submerged. Portable Wireless Telegraph. Pettable wireless telegraph apparatus has been adopted for the United States navy that will permit the long distance wires to be taken down in battle and replaced by shorter wires connected to instruments carried by an operator stationed in a protected place. Phonographs as "Centrale." The Berlin telephone department is making tests with phonographs in order to notify subscribers that the line is not free, so as to relieve the operators of this duty. The results are said to be very good. By subjecting boilers to weak electric currents from dynamos through apparatus he has invented an Australian scientist claims to prevent their corrosion by the electric-chemical action of water they contain. Pick Tiny Atoms of Aluminium. Electricity, which picks the tiny atoms of aluminium from earth, has made the metal possible to the commercial world and, in return, aluminium now ranks next to copper as the most desirable metal/for conducting the electrical current. ELECTRICITY TO OPEN DOORS Invention In Successful Operation by Fire Department in Portland (Ma.) Stations. An electric device that will open or close doors by simply touching a button and which can be automatically set to close doors at any desired time, has been designed especially for fire stations. The illustration shows a door so equipped in one of the fire Electric Door Opener. stations of Portland, Me., says the Popular Mechanics. When an alarm of fire is turned in the pressure of a finger on an electric button throws the door open. At the predetermined time after the button is pressed the door automatically closes, a sufficient lapse of time being allowed, of course to make sure that the fire apparatus is passed through. The invention has been applied successfully to nearly all the fire houses in Portland. UNIQUE ELECTRIC RAT TRAP As Rodent Tries to Nibble at Tempting Bait of Cheese He is Killed by Closing Circuit. A unique rat trap devised by Byron S. Ames of Williamsport, Pa. is shown in the sketch and is said to do the work every time. It looks something like the ordinary electric ball, only it is larger. The lower part of the metallic bell-shaped piece is connected to one side of an electric circuit, says the Popular Electricity. The upper part, insulated from the Electric Rat Trap. Electric Rat Trap lower part as shown by the heavy black line, is connected to the other side of the circuit. On top is placed the usual bit of cheese. When the rat goes to nibble at the cheese he steps across the two sections of the bell and receives a shock, and then if it is his funeral. Trigonometrical Calculations. Trigonometrical calculations from data obtained from sounds and wireless signals from shore and the run of a vessel on a long-measured course between the-receipt of the signals are utilized by the inventor of a "logometer" to enable a mariner to make reckonings near shore in foggy weather. Wasting Electricity. To show whether the motormen are wasting electricity many of the cars of New York's interborough system are equipped with a new device which automatically records the time which the cars coast with the power switched off. Telephone on Automobile Employing telescoping aluminium rods, an Ohio telephone company manager has invented a compact telephone outfit by which an automobile can connect his car with any point on any system using overhead wires. Special Wire Bath Robe. Seven thousand feet of a special form of wire are woven into a new bath or lounging robe to take current from a light socket and warm a wearer of the garment without danger of shock or fire. ELECTRICAL NOTES There are 16 transatlantic telegraph cables. The canal zone soon is to have its first electric railroad. A single New York office building contains more than 750 miles of telephone wire. An incandescent electric lamp of 442 candle power has been designed for lighting public places. Small incandescent lamps, fastened to the hooks, are used as bait by some Pacific coast fishermen. The famous Hoosac railroad tunnel in Massachusetts will be electrified at a cost of about $1,000,000. Russia has established its first electrical steel works, mainly for the production of armor plate and projectiles. There are 50 plants in the United Kingdom for the conversion of municipalities; garbage into electric power. Investigation by a French chemist showed that gold bolts in an electric furnace at a temperature of 2.400 degrees Centigrade. The city of New York maintains two trade schools in which the pupils are taught to operate electrically driven machinery exclusively. A Philadelphia has been granted a patent for an aerial advertising sign, waved by an electric motor suspended from two captive balloons. A Philadelphia has been granted a patent for an aerial advertising sign, waved by an electric motor suspended from two captive balloons. To a Kansas has been granted a patent for a shade provided with sparing fingers to grasp an incandescent lamp globe in any desired position. SEVEN JOHN B.

The first shipment of 2,000 tons of broken ore was shipped recently by a railroad just completed from Cordova on the southern coast of Alaska to Kennett, about two hundred miles inland, where the mine is located. The mine cost its owners about one million dollars, the railroad with equipment calls for an expenditure of some twenty-three million dollars. To the prospectors who originally located the copper lode now called the Bonanza, the property was practically worthless without a railroad. They could not get the copper to market. In fact, without capital they could not mine the ore, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the hardy ploneers who discovered the deposit could meet the legal requirements of the United States government and pay for the assessment work from year to year. The law demands that $100 worth of work shall be done on each claim every year by any one taking up mining rights in Alaska. This demand meant not only the cost of labor, for which the liberal estimate of ten dollars a day is allowed for each man employed, but it necessitated carrying supplies of food from Valdez along a hazardous and narrow horse trail for a distance roughly calculated at two hundred miles. the discouragements, sufferings and tragedies which followed this trail trip through the widerness, in the winter months, when the fierce blizzards of Alaska swept for days at a time down the Copper river valley, piling the snow ten to twenty feet deep in gulches, are heard of at the camp fireside today, and have caused many a chalkash (newcomer in Alaska) to trip back before he has crossed the summit. It was conditions like these with which Jack Clark and Clarence Warner, who discovered the Bonanza, had to contend from 1900 until they sold their interest in the property, several years later. Meanwhile in order to buy supplies and from a sense of honor which never dies in the heart of the true Alaska prospector, Smith and Warner gave fractional interests in the copper lode to nine friends and associates. When they made the location the two men were prospecting with four or five others, and it had been agreed at the start that all were to share in the discovery made by any member of the party. Out of gratitude to Colpand Alberromble, a government army officer, who gave them great assistance, the prospectors gave him an interest. Then a further division occurred when it was necessary to raise money to do the annual assessment work. They had to buy a dozen horses every year and canned food sufficient to last a dozen met, for six to eight months. One of the party took the role of hunter and supplied the camp with fresh mountain sheep and bear meat. The trip inside was made in winter, because by using sleds drawn by horses a men of "grub" could be taken in over the snow by each sled. In summer it was necessary to pack the supplies on the back of a horse, and 250 pounds was the limit for each horse, owing to the steep hills to climb. The wind blew so fiercely on the summit at times that horse and trail were blewn on the trail and down activities into soft snow 50 or 100 feet below. It was then a labor of hours to get the horse on his feet and back to the trail. The "sourdough" prospector, or old timer, had learned by experience to spread blankets on the snow for the horse to stand on, and in this way the animal was saved. But the trail is marked by manne, skeletons of horses and of men who have gone to their death in the mountain fastness. In their efforts to sell the property, Jack Smith and Warner went to Butte to see Senator William A. Clark of Montana, whose fame as a copper magnate had spread to Alaska. When Smith told Clark that the mountain peak was, copper, glance, assaying about sewer per cent pure copper, Clarke looked at his roughly clad visitors out of one eye and turned the subject to the weather and to Butte as a good mining camp. After a short talk Clark allowed the Alaskans to leave without making any further red erence to the property. He did not believe their story. Clark thought they were crazy. In Montana borneite and copper glance are not found on the surface, but at depth. The formation in Alaska is entirely different. The Bonanza outcrop is a freak in a way. It is like a great blow-out from subterranean forces, a dome built upon the cathedral range of such imposing appearance, with its weather-stained green slides glistening in the sun, that it can be seen for a great distance. The copper is found in other parts of Alaska at the contact, where a layer of limestone reests upon a supporting basal of greenstone. Senator Clark afterward sent an expert copper mining engineer to look over the field, but the Bonanza had been sold meantime to the Haveneyers of New York and Norman Schultz and James H. Ralph of Pittsburg, who made a fortune in oil and steel. Smith, Warner and their associates received about $23,000 each for their interest. The Bonanza was now becoming the wonder of the copper world. Experts for the Guggenheim made repeated examinations and those copper magnates bought the property, paying, it was said, about one million dollars. Then the transportation problem was tackled in earnest. The last spike in the railroad from Cordova to Kenncutt, was driven this spring. Contractor Heeney, who built the White Pass & Yukon railroad, carried out the plans for the Copper River railroad under the direction of Chief Engineer Hawkins. The difficulties to be overcome were stupendous. To avoid the two huge glaciers which form ice walls for miles along the Copper river, it was necessary to cross the river twice by bridges of steel costing millions of dollars, to build. In places the cliffs of rock were blown out and leveled to make a roadbed for the rails, and the track runs along the edge of deep canyons through which the river waters rush in mud torrents or fall in boiling rapids to a lower level. The scenery along the Copper river is a continual surprise. From glistening glaciers to snow-capped peaks, and from brown forests of cedar, rusty from exposure, to brilliant fields of flowers of every color, thick as buttercups in a meadow and covering vast expanses of the mountainside, the traveler's eyes turn in wonderment. The melting snows fall in great bridal vells of shimmering beauty from preceptious cliffs. The mild temperature of July and August, in the valleys and along the rivers, is sure to draw the sight-seeking traveler from every quarter of the world, with the same fascination that Switzerland holds for the solurons abroad. If the romance of Alaska is not buried too quickly; if the packer with his "diamond" hitch, to keep the mule's load in place, will continue to show his skill; if the dog team of mallamutes and huskies is to give the stranger a swift run in a sledge over the frozen trail; if the mountain sheep and bear are protected for the wild game hunter, the attractions for the tourist will be irresistible. Meanding the commercial side of the railroad proposition will be developing with giant strides. When the coal lands near Katalla and in the Matanuska district are open to location, and the coal is available for the locomotives on the railroad and for smelters which will undoubtedly be erected on the seacast, the other properties in copper, gold and nickel will add to the growing wealth of the Copper river region. The superintendent of the Bonanza says the assay values of the ore will annaize the mining world. When it is understood that copper ore yielding two per cent in pure metal is good enough to induce capitalists to invest militants, or assaying 82 to 72 per cent copper justifies the name Bonanza. Jack Smith, the original discoverer with Clarence, Warner, retired some years ago to live in a small town near Albany, N. Y. which was his home in his early youth. But the Alaska fever settled him again, and he went to Seattle to be once more with his old associates who cannot resist the allurements of the trail and camp. Warner spends most of his time in Chicago, but he, too, makes a trip every year to the Copper river belt and camps at the familiar streams along the government trail where he met and conquered hardship.

He was not sure. He waited for his wife's verdict, but she was strangely silent. She had latened to him from the gallery of the town hall, and he had half expected her to meet him at the door afterward, and to say, as soon as they were out of hearing: "Oh. it was simply great, Eddy!" But they were half way home and she had said nothing of the kind. "Well," he began awkwardly, when he could bear it no longer, "what did you think of my speech? "What you said was all right," she answered, with guarded enthusiasm. "But it seemed to me that you didn't make the most of your opportunities." "Opportunities!" repeated Mr. Sidener.

DIVIDE THE HOURS OF REST Better to Take Sleep In Installments Rather Than In One Long Session. If you wish to be perfectly fit and healthy don't take your sleep in "one long dose." Instead of, say, always going to bed at 11 p. m. and rising at 7 a. m., divide your sleeping hours into two portions, as, for instance, from 6 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. (first sleep)-and from 2 a. m. to 6:30 a. m. in the second sleep. This method of sleeping in "watches" gives the brain-for all those who do mental work—just stimulus needed, and promotes fresh energy and vigor to both mind and body. A doctor who is a serious advocate of sleeping in watches gave the above interesting theory. "Every man and woman whose work requires a large expenditure of mental energy Should divide his or her sleeping hours into two," he said. "I am acquainted with many people who now always take their sleep in two doses," and they will tell you what a vast improvement. It is on the usual rule of one long sleep in the 24 hours. "The ideal times of sleep for the brain worker, are the afternoon and the early hours of the morning. Of course this program could only be carried out by the woman whose time is her own." Novel Vase. An odd and pretty vase may be made by taking a pickle jar or any other odd-shaped bottle, and covering it all over with putty, then you may use all your discarded buttons out of your button box. Buttons of the presidents or other candidates, broken jewelry, even broken china pieces, all these may be used and stuck down in the putty as close as you can. When dry set it on your mantel. You will be pleased with it. By taking a piece of new sewer pipe and covering it the same way and setting it on a pie plate makes a good umbrella stand. The New Sleeves Although most of the new frocks and coats show the kimono shoulder, the imported lingerie blouses have the regulation sleeve in most instances. Where the straight shoulder effect is preferred it is simulated by a broad band of embroidery which joins the bodice and sleeve. A notable feature of some of the new gowns is the difference in the two sleeves. For instance, one of the daintest models shows one sleeve of chiffon, close and plain, while the other arm is bare, save for a garland or wreath of black roses set midway, between shoulder and elbow. Bridal Veils. The traditional cloud of tuile no longer is the fashion in London for a bridal vell. The daughter of a nobleman who was married recently in St Martin's church wore a vell of Brussels with a tiny spot. The veil was folded closely around the head, and was arranged in such a way the draperies did not cover the face, but fell away gracefully on either side. finely plaited frill of net dropped over the forehead and was bordered along the top with a small wreath of orange blossoms and myrtle. Another London bride wore a vell folded lightly across the top of the head while in front of it the orange blossoms were arranged in the form of a high tiaras, which helped to hold the veil in place. The latter bride had on a long leaf green cloth wrap of raine, trimmed with broad bands of black satin. Not Afraid of Eve's Fate. Women are taking to snakes. The fashions prove that.

In some of the best schools the pupils are now taught to roll tablecloths instead of folding them, since the folds in linen are usually the first places that show, wear, says a contributor to the Dellineator. The tablecloths are ironed flat and rolled while being ironed. It is best to use a table for the ironing board, as this gives more space. Start to roll the tablecloth as soon as a quarter of a yard is ironed and keep the roll directly in front, turning it as fast as the ironing is done. Sometimes thick brown paper is used to roll the cloth on, but it must be the width of the linen. A clever woman has procured several mailing tables, placed them end to end and covered them with fancy wall paper, pasting it on securely. This makes a firm foundation for the roll. Napkins should be folded once with the iron and all other folding done by hand so they will not wear in the creases. ed on-them. Birds, too. Then there is the snake hat, which has been coming into vogue slowly. It is said women are adopting snake hosiery. But there also are butterfly styles for stockings, petticoats and hats, and butterflies are worked on handkerchiefs. Motha In Furniture.
