LIO SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCE
Gives Special Instruction In the Higher Branches of Learning.
MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED.
Interesting Story of the Career and
Work of Mma. Adena C. E. Minott,
Founder and Principal of an Institution Especially Designed For the
Study of the Mental Sciences.
B. N. BARNETT DODSON
New York—Among the great number of institutions of learning both public and private in New York, the Cloo School of Mental Sciences at 487 Sixth avenue is worthy of the name it bears. It is the only school of its kind where a thorough and practical course of instruction is given in phrenology, physiognomy, psychology and kindred subjects. The institution is
equipped with ample facilities, such as muses, portraits and charts for mourning every subject taught.
In order to facilitate the work of the main school and because of the increasing number of persons from other cities who desire to avail themselves of the many helpful advantages which the Clio school offers, a splendid building suitable for class work and dormitory purposes for students, visitors or permanent guests has been procured in the excellent neighborhood of West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street. No. 121, known now as the Clio school studio. Elegant rooms with or without board may be held at a nominal figure. The necessity for such a school to those who teach or are engaged in business or the professions is obvious. In the measure that the mariner's compass is necessary to the captain for the successful guidance of his ship over rough seas, in the same measure it is necessary for those engaged in other lines of work to have a knowledge of the scheme of the mind in order to steer successfully over the difficulties which they must necessarily meet in their life work.
In the oarward sweep of civilization man has done great wonders in the production of new inventions. He has conquered the air and made it subservient to his will. His keen mind and penetrating eye have enabled him

Mima. Minott's Literary Achievements.
The leading spirit in the work of this great institutes is Mime. Mima G. C. Minott, who has been preparing the profession of medical science in New York city and viability as well as in other cities for the past twelve years. She received her grammar and high school education in this city.

WELFARE OF "KNIGHTS OF THE TRAY" DISCUSSED IN ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.
Negro Waiters Inspired by Advice of Educator at Notable Banquet.
Atlantic City, N. J. (Special):—Dr. Booker T. Washington was the guest of the colored citizens of Atlantic City at a banquet given in his honor. The banquet was an elaborate affair in every particular; many appetizing dishes were served and numerous toasts were made during the evening, eulogizing, the noted guest and his work. Yet it would not be inconsistent to refer to the occasion as a conference rather than a banquet, as matters were discussed around the festal board which will have an important bearing on the future welfare of the colored waiters and other members of the race closely associated with hotel life in Atlantic City and throughout the country.
The Tuskegean was entertained under the auspices of the Negro Business league of Atlantic City. In attendance were the prominent business and professional mea of that place. The presence of the leading colored head waiters of the famous resort, who took an active part in the conference, was significant.
In his talk Dr. Washington sounded the keynote when he advised the members, of the league to direct its energies toward making the colored waiters more efficient and up-to-date an order that they might successfully compete with the white waiters who come from abroad and secure employment in many of the principal hotels of this country, displacing colored waiters. The educator declared that an effort should be made to bring about a condition wherein the colored waiter would demonstrate that he was not only as good as the white waiter, but a better-workman than his white competitor, and that he would not secure work from a standpoint of sympathy, but because he had created a big demand for his services.
Professional People Depend on Masses
Another statement made by Dr. Washington that occasioned no little applause wds when he told the professional men present that it was foolhardy for the doctors and lawyers to isolate themselves from the ordinary negro. "It is on the masses—on the ordinary working men, or women, of the race—that the doctors and law years depend for a livelihood. I have found that what is considered the ordinary negro's loyal as long as you treat him with the respect and consideration he thinks is desiring; on the other hand, I have noticed that he is quick to consent any attempts to misreat him, and usually does so in no uncertain times. I suggest that the professional and working people of the race work hand in hand together, for one is in great need of the other."
The headwaiters present heartily greet with the keynote, sounded by Dr. Washington for efficient colored waiters, and promised to do everything in their power to bring about better conditions.
Some of the headwaters deserved after the banquet that the movement inspired by Dr. Washington is bound to prove more than a local issue, and that it is hardly probable that many政壁aters throughout the country will cooperate with the various local business leagues with a view to making the colored "knight of the tray" more efficient in his work and more sought after.
CONDUCT OF NINTH
CAVALRY NOT DISORDERLY
REPORTS IN VINDICATION OF GOOD BEHAVIOR OF COLORED SOLDIERS RECEIVED AT WAR DEPARTMENT FROM TEXAS.
Washington, D. C.—Further reports bearing on the conduct of the North cavalry regiment at San Antonio were today received at the war department. They tour our previous reports that the necropsy are unjustly accused of general disorder in the city.
W. D. Crittle, vice-president and general manager of the street car lines of San Antonio, and Mayor, Bryan Callahan of San Antonio, say the conduct of the regiment troops has been good.

Wants Passage of Color Discriminating Laws Stopped.
In a Forceful and Analytical Address Before Bethel Literary and Historical Association In Washington Neted Boston Editor Says Caste-System Is Spreading In America.
B. P. H. M. MURRAY.
Washington.—In the long and brilliant history of the famous Bethel Literary and Historical association of Washington no season, certainly none in recent years, has been more notable than the one which will close within a few weeks.
The season was opened by the leading literary man of the race, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols. it practically closed with an address by W. Monroe Trotter, the editor of the Boston Guardian and president of the Boston Literary and Historical association, Bethel's chief competitor for national prominence.
Mr. Trotter's subject at the April meeting of the literary was "The Caste of Color." There was a large audience of the capital's most thoughtful and cultured people, and the handling of the subject was worthy of the audience, the literary and the reputation of the speaker.
Mr. Trotter is a graduate of Harvard university, where he made a brilliant record, and, though not usually regarded as an orator, he proved to be fully capable of creditably representing on the platform his famous alma mater and also his race. He spoke without notes.
Editor Troter discussed the elements which constitute a caste system and pointed out facts and occurrences of the present situation in this country which serve to demonstrate that a caste system based on color has already been established, in the south at least, and that a determined effort is being made to push the system into and all over the north and to draw the separating "color line" more and more sharply and oppressively where the caste of color now has a foothold.
His citations and quotations were explicit and striking, particularly the extracts he read from a recent book by the Rev. Quincy Ewing, a native southern white man, which laid bare the "Heart of the Race Problem," which is the title of Rev. Mr. Ewing's book. "His heart," he showed, is nothing more nor less than a determination, devotion, and maintain a caste system alone; hence, if this attempt fails, neither the prquisition of wealth nor of education
question of whether a law will avail to break the "color line." He urged that every effort be made to block the passage of laws having that end in view wherever proposed.
He showed that the matter of color caste was deeper than more sentiment; that it reached further than the matter of social intermingling; that the "color line" once drawn would be and now is extended far beyond matters social or even civil and proves a barrier in the acquiring of education, and the higher training binders and will eventually prevent the employment of the proscribed caste in any of the more desirable and more incursive employments, and that even if natural competence could under such a system be acquired by an exceptional few it would not permit its enjoyment or profitable use.
He warned against giving heed and countenance to those who speciously seek to justify, or condone this disabling menace and pleaded for unrelenting war against the "thin wedge" of color segregation, seeking to gain entrance where "the line" is not now drawn, through "separate" philanthropic institutions of a semipublic character, such as the Y. M. C. A. and "social settlements."
Mr. Trotter received an almost unprecedented tribute of approval at the close of his address, which was calm, analytical and argumentative.
He was followed briefly by Hon. Joseph Manning of Alabama, who was introduced as "the white garrison of the south," a characterization he well deserves.
General Andrew Burt, U. S. A., retired, who commanded the Twenty-fifth infantry, also spoke brieled and testified to his high regard for the colored people as exemplified by his regiment. He scored those of our own race who advised an attitude of submission and insisted that, like all other oppressed and exploited classes now existing and who have preceded us, "if satisfied with a little you will surely get less." The celebrated Amphlone Glee club. Professor J. Henry Lewis, director, added not a little to the enjoyableness of the occasion.
Journalistic Changes In New York. The consolidation of the Yankers Standard and the New Rochelle (N. Y.) League Journal into one strong weekly paper and the absorbing of the New York Advocate by the Amsterdam News, coupled with the present apparent financial distress of the great New York Age. are the latest developments in Afro-American journalism in the Empire State of the North.
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 Storms as Bennie Neimann. 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 send 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.

REV. CHAS. TRUSTY REPLIES TO BOARD OF MANAGERS
REV. CHAS. TRUSTY REPLIES TO BOARD OF MANAGERS
Of Aged and Infirm Colored Women's Home
The statement alleged by the Board of Managers of the Old Ladies Home and by the Pittsburgh Courtier, May 11, 1911, that the Rev. C. H. Trusty made dishonest charges against the home, that there were unusual interest in the meeting when they were made and that these charges were made in the pulpit of the Grace Memorial Presbyterian church were mild terms, a misstatement of the fact. The facts are these: I was teaching the Sabbath school lesson in the lecture room of the church. Wednesday evening. The lesson subject was "Repairing the Temple," affecting the priests who were charged with dishonesty in the use of church funds which produced certain results. I said, this same spirit exists today and manifests itself in church fairs and charitable institutions to such an extent that people are unwilling to contribute their money, and good causes suffer. I said that I have known church entertainments where the refreshment committees would keep back the best, divide, among them selves and take home more than they brought. I said, I have heard in respect to the late fair for the benefit of the Ladies Home for Aged Colored Women, that the people were unwilling to contribute as in days past because some of the committee take home more than they bring. One of the teachers said, Mr. Trusty, did you say that you heard this. I said, yes. I heard it. I said that dishonesty should be discouraged and condemned, that people should be honest and the cause for truth and right would not suffer for ample and sufficient support, and that you could always depend on the liberality of the people when the business is conducted with a spirit of honesty.
This reference to the home was incidental, had no malice or evil design in it and I did not think any one would take offence front it. If offence is taken I want it taken from what I did and not from what I did not say. If I had made the charge I would be man enough to prove them and take the consequences, but I made no charge as all who were in the meeting will hesitate. I am assured this. It is a fact that I did hear this and many who read this paper have heard the same thing. It is not right that I should be responsible for what reported any more than should be responsible for what is read last week. The emphasis seems to be placed on the new man, stating what he heard. Do I understand that a new man has to be here one hundred years before he can condemn crime and sin? If you understand that I want to say now, that does not apply to me. We contributed to this gain our way and it was not necessary for us here any time for it to be received. You can not have taxed without representation and be good American citizens. If you respect new people to contribute don't be scared when they assume the right to speak of any evil existing or required to exist in an institution behaved by the public.

THE BIG CHOIR CONTEST A SUCCESS
The choir contest held under the auspices of the Business Committee of the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A., last Thursday evening at the Bethel A. M. E. church, Pittsburgh, was in every detail a huge success. Owing to unavoidable hindrance many of the choirs seeded to contend were not present, but the contenders, with the assisting talent of the city, constituted a program: well worth the admission and one which reflected credit upon the race.
two contestants, the Corey A. M. E. church choir of Braddock, and the famous John Wesley choir of the John Wesley church, Pittsburgh, the former bore off the laurens. It must be said for the latter choir, however, that they labored under adverse circumstances, as the aggregation sang without its regular bass, as well as minus of many constralto and soprano voices. The prize consisted of four silver collection plates to become the property of the church to which the successful choir belongs.
While the contest itself was interesting, the 600 people who assembled for the occasion were treated to solos, vocal and instrumental, of rare character. Amhong those who contributed to the success of the program may be mentioned: The Ebenezer Baptist church choir, the Calvary Baptist church choir, Prof. Mellix, who furnished a pleasing solo, Miss Margaret Koins, our lady cornetist, and she is certainly efficient. Robert Lewis, who has already made a place for himself in the music world and Prof. Zacheus Coleman of the Conservatory of Boston, Mass. Miss Sarah Writt, also of the Boston Conservatory, was the accompanist for the soloists.
In order to relieve any possible partiality on the part of the judges who awarded the prize, the judges were selected from the array of artists among the white race. They were: Prof. Richard Knottis, Prof. Stephen Martin and Prof. Silas Pratt, who was chosen to read the criticisms of the judges and announce the winner. The criticism was a blessing to our friends who are aspiring to honors in the field of art. They were fair, to say the least, but coming from men who know what the art requires of the student, they were guilded posts for all who may aspire. After the criticism, the prize was awarded by Attorney Robert L. Vann, chairman of the Business Committee of the Colored Branch.
Through The Courier, the committee wishes to thank the friends who made the program, such a lasting success. Nor must the arduous labors of the secretary, Mr. Morsell, be forgotten, for it was he who furnished the labor and skill which brought the results.
NEGRO IN THE WEST INDIES.
Seemingly instantaneous, West Indian emancipation was in reality gradual. Colonies which neglected to prepare for it as long as fifty years before were at great disadvantage, so far as racial adjustment was concerned. Insisting on an apprenticeship system in place of immediate emancipation, they reaped their reward in the shape of fierce outbreaks, which came from black men determined to be free indeed or die for liberty. As was said before, this vast social change was foreseen almost fifty years before it occurred, and was carefully provided for by men who followed the English custom of under taking and accomplishing constitution and social reforms ahead of time and not in a few brief years of violence and civil strife. It was not adopted as a measure of political expediency nor from the necessities of war. Hence the basis for "the very simply relatings between the races" in the West Indies stretches far back into the past. The southerner in the United States may view with increasing concern the widening chasm be-
between his son and the son of the black man with whom he played in child good. He knows that where sympathy and affection are wanting and rare instinct strong, cruelty and might become dominant, and that these two hurt the oppressor as much as the oppressed. The West Indian, white man has no such fear. He has his prejudices; equally strong are those of the black man. For this reason the one race respects the other's prejudices, both feeling that on the broad field of industry, of education, of good citizenship, and of manhood, there is enough for both, white and black—S. B. Jones in the Southern Workman.
To Prevent Bird Extermination.
A law has been passed in Australia and New Guinea to prevent plumes, skins or eggs of birds being sent out of the country. The bird of paradise in New Guinea and the lovely bird in Australia have been threatened with extermination by the petty bird murderers after money.
Congregation Which Started a mission on Exeter Street Ninety-three Years Age Met With Many Difficulties Which Hindered Its Early Growth—Rev. P. C. Neal's Success.
Baltimore—The seventy-fifth anniversary of the incorporation of the First Baptist church, a four weeks' celebration of which begun at the church edifice on Sunday, May 7, marks an important epoch in the church life of this city as well as of the state of Maryland. The beginning of the church dates back to 1818, when a mission was opened on Exeter street, the minister in charge being one of the early exhorters of the race. As the sentiment was not favorable in those times of slavery for colored people to hold, separate meetings of any kind, fear of some anti-slavery plots being hatched, the mission did not grow very much.
It was not until 1834, when Moses Clayton, a stalwart preacher of the old school, came from Norfolk, Va., and
REV. DR. P. CARTER NEAL.
took charge of the congregation, that the church began to take on pew life. Under his direction in 1836 the congregation was incorporated. Rev. Mr Clayton continued in the pastorate until 1860, when he died at the age of seventy-seven years.
In the period from the beginning of the civil war Rev. J. Underdell Rev. John Wythe, Rev. Lewis Hicks and several others were in charge for brief periods. It was during this time that the private school and house of worship of the congregation at Thompson and Young streets were remodeled. Rev. J. C. Allen, a graduate of Liberty college, O., was called to the pastorate in 1872. The congregation then began to grow more rapidly in numbers and influence, and a lot was purchased at the corner of Caroline and McElderry streets for $1,500. In 1851 a hansome new church edifice, was erected on the lot, where the congregation still worships.
Coincident with the coming of Rev. Mr. Allen was the calling of Rev. Harvey Johnson to the pastorate of Union Baptist church and of Rev. Apanis Brown to the Lendenhall Street church. The great indus of the race from the south was then on, and the Baptist churches grew regularly and set apart other congregations, until now there are over 20,000 Baptists in Maryland. The growing feeliness of Pastor Allen was cause of the church calling the Rev. P. Carter Neal as assistant pastor in 1901. After serving with marked success as assistant pastor he was made copostar of the church and on the death of Rev. Mr. Allen was elected to the pastorate.
Pastor Neal is a native of this city. His parents were the late Spicey and Emma Neal. He received his early training in the public schools of Baltimore. He is a graduate of Waukegan seminary and also of Lincoln university and Hamilton theological seminary, New York.
Lincoln university conferred the honorary degree of master of art upon him the year following his graduation. Rev. Mr. Neil is happily married. His wife, who before her marriage to Mr. Neil, was Miss Harriet A. Wimbish was a classmate of his at Washland seminary. Mrs. Neil is a woman of firm religious convictions and has been a great help to her husband in his work as pastor. At the initial service incident to the celebration Rev. Dr Neil presided the historical sermon Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks of Washington and the Rev W A. Credit, president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, work among the order of town ministers who assisted in the celebration.
Traymore Assembly's Reception.
The sixteenth annual reception of the Traymore assembly recently held at Fitzgerald's auditorium, Atlantic City, N.J. was a grand success. Musical for this special occasion was furnished by the Thomas of orchestra. Professor F. C. O Brown had charge of the social program.
Philadelphia—Mrs. Ruth M. Collett of Baltimore, widow of the late Rev. John H. Collett, who was for six years manager of the A. M. E. Publishing house in Philadelphia, was recently awarded a verdict for $4,718.25 in her claim for money paid to have been advanced by herself and husband in order to keep the book concern going as well as for back salary. Mrs. Collett says that she resorted to every other means in order to get the money before taking the matter to the courts.
"A few days after my husband's death in 1908," says Mrs. Collett, "I went to Philadelphia and requested that there be an accounting between us so that all bills, for and against my husband could be accounted for and paid. This was refused, and when I requested that I be allowed to get my husband's papers this was also refused, and I began to be a little alarmed. When my husband succeeded H. Leek as business manager in 1902 he found that the sheriff had tacked a notice on the property declaring that it was to be sold for debt.
"He paid off claims against the department so fast that many times there was not enough money left to pay the running expenses, and he was forced to advance the deficit from his personal funds. One of the bills against the department was $1,178 for lint-typing. Things became so pressing after awhile that I had to apply some
MRS. RUTH M. COLLETT.
of my own funds in order to help my husband in his work of saving the concern to the denomination.
"My husband employed a certified public accountant, Miss Eva Johnson, as clerk, and thereby every penny was accounted for. When Mr. Collett's quadrennial statement was read at the general conference in Norfolk in 1908 it was accepted, and many of the ministers gathered, around to congratulate him. I proposed that $200 be paid me in cash and the remainder at $50 a month. I did not hear anything more of the matter until December, 1908 eight months after my husband's death, which occurred in April, 1908.
"Then Mr. I. I. Wright, manager now for the concern, offered me $200 down and $50 a month, besides embodying a plan by which I would have lost over $800. I wrote Bishop Games repeatedly, but received not a single answer, and the suit was the result. The expert accountant and myself were highly compended by the judge who sat in the case."
Mrs. Collett says she paid the department every cent due. She is well and favorably known in all parts of the country on account of having represented her husband at annual conferences. Rev. Mr. Collett who fifty-seven years of age at the time of his death and was one of the best known ministers in the country.
Georgia Colored Fair Association.
The fifth annual fair of the Georgia Colored Fair association will be held at Macon from Nov. 8 to 18, inclusive.
The Macon (Ga.) city council has granted the association the use of the Central City park in which to hold the exhibition, which is the largest in the south. Major R. R. Wright, president of the organization, has long ago distinguished himself as an organizer and promoter of large undertakings. He knows how to get results.
Clergymen Had Profitable Session.
The fifteenth annual meeting of the District Association of the Congregational Churches of Southern North Carolina, held in the First Congregational church in Raleigh, from April 28 to 30, inclusive, brought together some of the able men in the denomination. The sessions were well attended, profitable and free from personal bickering.

with a Jerk and sent Flannigan, stum-

the deception much longer. but if
things were bad now, what wortd they
be when Aust Selina learned she had
been fied 10, made ridiculous, general-

“Where Is she now?"
“Looking for more of these.” 1 in

A WHITE MAN'S VIEW OF CONDITIONS AND CAUSES FOR NON-AMALGAMATION WHO CAUSED MIXED BREED NOW IN AMERICA?
The relations between the white and the black in South Africa are important. The English in that part of his majesty's dominions would do well to profit by the experience of our Southern states where we have been thrown in contact with the inferior co for a longer period of time, during the day of slavery and since.
is a general rule, the English are to strict toward the negroes than are. They do not let them walk on the sidewalks. They do not let them carry canes. They make it a crime to sell a negro a drink. The Christian Recorder later quoted from the Cleveland Gazette regarding the marriage of black and white citizens in South Africa. A Dutch member of the union parliament having proposed an amendment to the marriage bill forbidding the marriage of white and colored, the heads of both Angliar and Roman Catholic churches are said to have favored such marriages, and declared themselves so much in sympathy with amalgamation that they shall solemnize such marriages even if the amendment be carried. It is thought that all churches save the Dutch will follow suit. The remedy for the churches' disobelief of the civil law is to make it a criminal law with a heavy penalty imposed, not only on the parties to a mixed race marriage, but also on the lesbian or clerical celebrant thereof.
In the south we know the reason Mixed rages are bad, because the result is not to raise the lower race to or toward the level of the higher, but to degrade the superior race and produce a multate population that is weaker physically than the races from which it descends, with a strong tendency to disease, especially consumption.
There is a heaven-born instinct in the best men of the white race to protect their race in its integrity and legislate stringently against the danger of mongrelization. It is an Anglo-Saxon ideal, this desire of race purity which, as a rule, the Latin has lacked with the result of the hybridization of his descendants in those parts of the world where he has come in contact with the dark races. Because the Anglo-Saxon has determined to remain what it is, without crossing his dominant breed and lowering its quality, with any admixture of the blood of the black, yellow, red or brown races, the two greatest nations in the world are England and the United States. If England in her colonies in South Africa disregards the wise counsel of the Dutch, the experience and example from the south, and the warning from the Latins, her decadence has begun.
BOES ANYBODY LOVE US
According to the newspapers and magazines England is jealous of us. Germany doesn't like us. France is suspicious of us. Japan is actually preparing to fight us.
Canada thinks we are going to kidnap her.
Mexico feels that we want to mortgage her resources and then foreclose the mortgage.
Sain positively defends us.
Cuba thinks we are a fresh lot, of Alecks.
Chili secretly buys battleships to sell to other countries who want to lick us.
Brazilians shore bad money and short change on us when we visit them.
Argentina charges us more for the same things than she does others.
Russia thinks we are an ungrateful lot.
All Central America is trying to pick our pockets.
There are others—let these instances suffice for now.
Will the muckrakers kindly advise
does anybody love us? ;
Water soaked, goods, rescued from fires are dried by electricity in a large warehouse for the purpose by the New York underwriters.
An automobile savings bank in France makes regular rounds among a large number of clients, who are scattered over a wide spread of territory.
There are no fours nor forty-fours in Japanese telephone directories, the number tour being shunned because its name, "shi" is the term for death.
Five hundred lives were lost in the marring of the ship Australia, bound from Hamburg to New York in 1853.
An ordinary railway engine is equal in strength to 90 horses.

When scrubbing tiles, if a table isountful of paraffine is added to a pool of hot water, it will both clean the tiles and show their colors to perfection.
Cork was known to the Greeks and Romans and was put to almost as many uses as at present. Buttress buttress with cork stoppers for wine and beer did not come into use until the middle of the fourteenth century.

From silver found deposited upon the copper sheeting of ships it has been estimated that sea water contains 200,000,000 tons of silver. Of gold the sea contains one grain in every ton of water.

OBSERVED EMANCIPATION DAY
NEGROES OF RICHMOND HELD
GENERATION ON FREE
DOM ANNIVERSARY.
Richmond, Va.—Special—The 3d of April was the day the Afro-Americans of this city observed as their Emancipation day. The orator of the occasion was Rev. E. H. Hunter, LL. M. who assigned a lucrative government position to enter the ministry and as now pastor of Third St. A. M. E. church, this city. He eloquently and comprehensively discussed the obligation of citizenship, and in part said:
"The obligations of citizenship, therefore, require recognition of the fact the benefits of citizenship fix proportionally responsibilities. Men are both cowardly and selfish when they try to escape the burden of responsibility which attaches to the superior position attained through wealth, position or influence. The special gifts and graces, favors and accumulations of what kind soever are entrusted to men to be used for the common good and not to be squareded in idle pleasures, vain conceits avaricious schemes and miserly efforts for future protection. The good citizen believes in the doctrine of "All men up and no man down." The obligations of citizenship, therefore, call for us to lift as we climb.
"There must be no cessation in urging the gospel of work to the utmost of individuals and organized capacity. Correct ideas as to the dignity and character of labor must be instilled," said this brilliant young lawyer and preacher.
The following utterances elicited hearty applause: "We hear much talk about the need of race leaders, but the permanent need is men. Enough strong, thoughtful, unselfish. God-fearing men will not be long finding a proper leader whenever and wherever one is needed. Nor, in unhorsing one who misleads, them or misrepresents their highest inspirations, loftiest ambition and fondest hopes in efforts to secure himself and his pet, schemes, in a place of favor, with unjust, unholy, self-constituted lords of creation. Those who are willing to compromise or barter away the God-given manhood rights of their people for place, peer or temporal power are not worthy of the confidence of their fellows and thereby they hinder the cultivation of true manhood. The surest guarantee of a proper and effective assumption of the obligations of citizenship is the cultivation of true manhood."
"The surest protection of the home, with all its sacred memories and charming environment, is the establishment of just, fair, honorable community life; and such adjustment of the social fabric as will recognize the right of the highest, the lowest, the proudest and humblest, the richest and poorest, the wisest and most unlearned, as being on a common level. Men must learn that no final settlement of the question of rights between man and man can ever be reached until the principles of the Golden Rule shall have found their rightful place in the making and administration of society's laws. Class legislation cannot bring to pass the ideal in this regard, and manhood suffrage is the only offset against class legislation; in a democracy, were among the significant utterances of the speaker.

At length Pinkham explained: "Why the devil don't leave me alone? Your coat tail has been burning for the last two minutes, but I didn't bother you about it."

Fine Mink Purs for Prize. Dog.
It isn't every dog that can boast of false hair and wear two sets of fur, brazenly. Just as though it didn't care that one of them, was not its own hair. But even the grammar will grudgingly admit that there are exceptions to all rules. This time the exception is Osage Lady Jane, owned, controlled and fed by J. P. Lane.
The coat with which Lady Jane will be stepping about in in a few days is made of mink and will cost $25. The coat is stitched with dark and light mink and has 14 dangling nails. Considering the past records of Lady Jane Mr. Lane doesn't think he is doing too much for the dog.
"She wins in about every show I have exhibited her." Lane said. "She'll be a dazzler in that outfit. It's a shame to hide her natural color and charms with even mink skins, but you know the wind these days is cutting."

The Original Poro Hair Grower
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 have 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 "Poror" is on every box; not genuine without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out-use "Poror." It stops the falling and starts the hair to growing at once.

WHY NOT ALWAYS?
The recent strike among the employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad has made it imperative with the company to hire colored men to fill certain positions at a living salary. Is this because they want the colored man as a laborer or because they want some one to help call during the
If the colored man will do to help out and is worth the salary, the company is now paying, why will he not be worth the same and more after the strike when he will have had the chance to become more efficient at his labor? The colored man should insist upon his quota of labor after the strike or prior to be made an implement of necessity. The company hires him now because they can not do any better, not better as a laborer, but better as a certain kind of laborer—in short a white laborer. A company that can take the goods in his own hands and hire men of color when there is a strike can use the same preoperative when there is no strike and give the Negro a chance to labor and live in his own country. If the Negro can work during the
If the Sigro can work using strike, then why not always?
If you see something in the Courier that does not suit your taste, investigate it... We are not infallible.
THE OTHER VIEW.
On the front page of this paper appears a letter from Rev. Trusty, pastor of the local Presbyterian church, in which he explains that he is not the father of the report recently circulated concerning the Home for Aged and Inferior Colored Women.
In the last issue of The Counter a strong letter from the Board of Directors of the home appeared, stating that Rev. Trusty "charged the workers with taking more away from the fair in their baskets than they took to the fair." According to the pastor's statement in his letter to this paper, he has been sadly misquoted. We venture the assertion that the pastor in question has too much intelligence to attack any instruction without having proof sufficient to support his charge. He says: "heard" that, etc, and certainly all of us "hear" many things, and it is no crime to say "we heard it."
Sunday will be observed as Mother's Day; and throughout the land will be beard the text: "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the earth which the Lord thy God giveth thee." A white carnation should be worn in honor of mother.
Nora had lived as parlor mold in an artistic family for six months. It seemed to Miss Aureella only natural that Norah should have developed some love of art in that time. One day she discovered the little maid, dust cloth in hand, gazing at the Venus of Milo.
"Do you like her best of all, Norah?" asked Miss Aureella.
"Sure, an' I do, miss," said Norah, warmly; "She may not look quite so nate wid her arms gone, but she's so ally to doost, I fair love her."—Youth's Companion.

The colored costumes of Washington dark hairstylesGood for several works with an exhibition and demo that was voted... Of the two hundred persons present a matriarch success. The program was long and exceedingly intricate throughout, consisting of bridee drill, quartet and choirs, gymnasium dance, two boxing clubs, tumbling and martial boxing and a dance. The private boys known as the Glenz-kw Gundis, Goo, Lull, captain acquitted themselves like real, so they. They gave camp stones, pick it dirty and drilling that brought out round after round or applause from the crowds. Other features of the evening was the combination of Joseph Finney and the Marathon ladies from Hiron avenue to the Washington Park grove, which was won by John Jones.
The fourground houts were between Hell and Cratchenbeg, Bradley and Broods. The target-loving stunt set the audience screaming with laughter. The dance, which closed the evening's entertainment at 11 o'clock though lively and thoroughly enjoying, surprised many of the visitors by its orderliness. A cordial invitation to all colored boys and girls to attend the various activities at Washington Park Field house was extended by Mr. Srowls, superintendent. Among the visitors at this last model social evening of 19th-bajj season were Rev. S. A. Virgil. Mr. and Mrs. D. Robert Lewis, Mrs. Robert Förrest
A. B. Rice, our enterprise agent and correspondent at Harrison, is the stockholder in the Counter.
Mrs. B. Rice's meeting at Browns chapel last Sunday was fairly well attended and those absent missed a very instructive address by Rev. S. A. Virgil. His reference to the minister living upon land that would receive with credit upon the ministry and the necessity of more activity in the church affairs and attendance at all services, prayer meetings, class meetings, etc. were very timely. The urging need of the hour is for men who are proud of the name, men who are doing something to elevate themselves and the race. The church, the home, the business world, all need real men.
The Charity club met Thursday at the residence of Mrs. Florence Simpson, Blyrgan, Pa. After the regular business was transacted the postess served a nice luncheon. This club sent out another one dozen chairs the past week to the Davis Temporary Childer.
Rev. W. B. Anderson, D. D. of Unkentown-Pa., was in the city Monday and attended the Ministers meeting at Harper church. The doctor was looking the picture of health and still carries that ever pleasant smile. He reports everything moving along nicely in his church.

Somebody ought to tell those promising young men of the race who congrate in front of Brown's Drug Store of Sundays, that it does not help them standing in the commandment to make such a show or themselves before the public. It would have been more to their credit to have been at the Y. M. C. A. meeting at grace church at that hour last Sunday.

At the Presbyterian ministers meeting last Monday there was read a very interesting paper on the "Southern Problem." The Rev. Dr. A. S. Hunter. In the discussion that followed the reading of the paper, Rev. C. H. Trusty of Grace Memorial church was called up to address the meeting. During his remarks Rev. Trusty declared that it was up to the church to solve the Negro problem and he agreed with the sentiment of the people, that the Southern people understood the problem better than the Northerner. He concluded his remarks with the following: "I was coming down Wylie avenue the other morning when the cars became congested and I went forward to see what the trouble was. I found that a mule, a Negro and a garbage wagon blocked the way. The laboring people and business men who were on the wagon left and helped the Negro get his wagon out of the way."
"They did not," the speaker said, "help the Negro for humanity's sake, but for self-preservation. Now, the Negro is in your way, is in the way of the white man. If you don't want to get him out of the way for humanity's sake, get him out of the way for self-preservation." The annual thanksgiving services of the Grand United Order of Old Followers in America will be held by the lodges and the holdings of the three teetotal district at Lator temple, Washington and Weister avenue, Sunny May 14, 2 p.m. Jos.

"I desire to thank you for your recent visit to Howard, and express our high appreciation of the admirable lecture you gave in our chair. While the subject matter of the lecture was of a high order and appealed to the earnest thought of the students, yet you maintained the unhanging interest of both students and faculty during your lecture; and it made a fine impression, which was evidenced by the enthusiastic applause that greeted you at the close." Make this lecture special. Let everybody turn out and show that we can fill a house for a lecture.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
The Men's meeting held last Sunday at Grace Memorial Presbyterian church was notable in several ways. In the first place, the men present board one of the rarest addresses that the branch has offered since these meetings began. "The Wild Ass Skin," was the theme which General Secretary Lyman L. Pierce, making an adaptation from one of Balzac's novels chosen. The great lessons which Mr. Pierce's burning words conceived will not soon be forgotten. In the second place, Mr. Pierce announced that the permanent home of the Colored Men's branch had been purchased. The sight is located on Center avenue near Green street, now occupied by the Allegany County Political club. The men expressed their joy by unrestrained applause and waving of handkerchiefs.
On every hand expressions of satis faction are heard.
The church-chair contest contest at Bethel church last Thursday night was a splendid success. Fifty six hundred persons attended.
The prize, four silver collection plates, was awarded Corey Avenue A. M. E. church choir, under the direction of George L. Pollard. After the announcement of the decision of the judges, Profs. Geo. Knouts, John Stephen Martin and Silas G. Pratt, by the best named, Robt. L. Vann, chairman of the Business Committee, presented the prize. Rev. Dr. Morris, the pastor, W. W.

Messer, gave us a soul stirring sermon which so impressed our hearts that we all felt the love of God in our soul. The more sermons that our beloved pastor gave us, the more we want to hear from him. Our B. Y. P. U. under Deacon A. E Evans, which is held at 6 p. m. every Sunday except second Sunday in each month are still holding fine meetings it is growing stronger in spirit, and in capacity. E.

NOTES FROM THE NORTH PITTS
BURG DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
(By the Secretary, Rev. P. J. Black, 7 burnt)
The recent session of the North Pittsburgh district conference which convened in the A. M. E. church, West Bridgewater, May the 4th and 5th was one of the most profitable held in recent years, Rev. D. S. Dentley, the presiding elder, had mapped out a splendid program on important subjects which was carried out during the conference.
While the session proper did not begin until Wednesday morning, religious services were held Tuesday evening at which time the writer preached, in the absence of Rev. R. H. Morris, who was unable to be present.
Time will not permit us to give a detailed account of sessions, even if space were granled us. We therefore content ourselves with reporting a few excerpts from a paper read by Mrs. Martie Matthews of New Brighton, which we would send to attend the publication. Subject was "How Can the Laymen Best Assist the Pastor in His Work?" She said in part:
"They can assist the pastor by working harmoniously with him and endeavoring in every possible way to further his plans to further the kingdom of God in world, where he should give the alm of his good com-munion preached."
"The laymen can also assist the pastor in the social life of the church. We need to be careful best we exert too much of our pastors, from social point of view. Today there are a number of organizations outside the church, and quite a few are expected of our pastors that they will be present at the various meetings of the church as often as possible. It is also supposed that he will inform himself as to the intent and purpose of those outside the church. In short, he must know the social life of the community in order to understand the responsibility of maintaining these organizations should he thrust on the shoulders of the pastor. It is the layman's duty to see to it that the auxiliaries of the church are fostered and cared for. Again the laymen can assist the pastor in his efforts to evangelize, as is quite apparent in the work of the church undergoing a change. "The Personal Workers' League," with its brilliant record of hundreds brought to a knowledge of the Truth, is an indication of the truthfulness of this assertion. The church can only come into its own Christy power, in proportion as its membership grows, and the responsibility for the salvation of the community in which it is established.
"In conclusion, who should see to it that our pastors receive, at least, enough to support themselves and families comfortably. The minister should receive his support regularly, so that he may not be embarrassed before the business work assigned to him properly, unless he maintains credit with the business, men with whom he is called to deal."
Homewood Notes
The sacred concert in Zion church on last Sunday evening, under the suspices of the Hawthorne society, was one of the best yet given, and was much enjoyed by a large audience. The word is "more."
"Thos. Vanzh while age home suffering because of dental affliction, was somewhat surprised one of the women of the Mt. in a house of his friends who reminded him that it was his wife spent in social pleasure. At the close of the concert, Sunday, he was presented, with a handsome Oxford Bible from the Hawthorne of which he is president.
The roar was again invaded our community and removed the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Flood of Susquehanna Street. Impressive services were held on Wednesday in the Bithynia Baptist church. Rev. S. A. Jordan pastor, officiated. Mrs. Eatsy, son and daughter, were the guests: Mrs. D. Watson on a few days.
Mrs. Tates, Lloyd has returned from Washington, D. C., where he went to look after her daughter who was sick.
Rev. B. F. Combs has charmed his residence to Tod Tiaora where he is very pleasant hostess. Mrs. Carrie Watson has been in residence for a few days under the direction of Mrs. Wm Hawkins, will render a program on Sunday 5:00 p.m. at Zog. Mrs. Resler Aldridge will speak. The transcripts will have in special service in the evening. Mrs. Bartilla French has been cool and again occupies her life in Zog. The impromptu program rendered Tuesday, evenings by the Hawwrops is very good and appreciative.
Little Lists of LESSY.
A fax day ago on an old woman of stature, living in a village some twenty miles from Paris, burgundy or wilde. Among her husband's papers she found a postoffice savant, bank bank showing a balance of two francs (25 cents). She went to the postoffice and asked for the money. "Have you paid the taxes on your inheritance?" she was asked and on her testimony "No." She was told to go to the three miles off where she would have to pay them. On arrival she was sent back to her own village to fetch her husband's death certificate. She was given this friday a back earl or the other nine, paper, for which she had to pay eight cents—six cents for the 15 per cent tax on the twelve cents left by her husband, two cents for the bank. She then walked the three miles back to her village (making twelve miles in all), found the postoffice closed, and next morning she was given the 33 cents which her husband had left.

ISAIAH'S CALL
TO SERVICE
Sunday School Lesson for May 14, 1911
Specially Arranged for This Paper
**LESSON TEXT-Isaiah** & **Memory Verses**
**GOLDEN TEXT-** I heard the voice of the Lord laying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me "Isa. 63.
**E-The year** when King Uziah died (Becher) (Becher) B. C. 79, or (Hastings) B. C. 79.
**PLACE-The Temple in Jerusalem.**
**KINGS-In Israel, Menaham; in Assyria, Burdus-dan III**
This is a home-missionary lesson. We are asked to read Isaiah 24. What home-missionary thoughts are to be found there? Those glowing sentences are in many particulars faithful pictures of our wealthy modern nations. There are the unexampled movement of immigration, the asping of evil customs from other lands, the vast wealth, the mammon-worship, the pride, the social wrongs and oppressions, the misgovernment, the devotion to fashion and luxury, and in it all a nucleus of nobility that will bring about the atmost triumph of godliness. There is as great need? that we should work for our country as that Isaiah should work for his; and, though we are so much inferior to Isaiah, yet God calls is in essentially the same way to the same great service.
The literary qualities most conspicuous in Isaiah is the wealth and brilliance of his imagination. No other Old Testament writer has the same power of picturesque and graphic description. There is no other Hebrew author who furnishes the reader with so many quotable sentences. One can imagine the people of Jerusalem stopping one another on the street, to tell and hear the latest from the prophet. This, of course, was precisely what he desired and intended. Isaiah was a numistor and satirist in the truest sense of the word. This is evident from his vivid, quaint description of the strange manufactured idols and images of worship, from his curious and vivid picture of female luxury and fashion in his day.
The events of his time may be summed up in two momentous occurrences. The first was the advance of the Assyrians upon the small states of Syria and Palestine, paralyzing their national consciousness, and with this also their national religions. Judah was not destroyed like Samaria, but its independence was lost, and it was the prophet's chief political task to enable his country to adjust itself to the new conditions. As a politician (isahal's maxim was "no politics." He strongly dissuaded Ahaz from entangling himself with Assyria, but when his advice was disregarded and Judah become subject, to Assyria he resisted with equal prenueness all attempts to throw off the Assyrian roke.
The second occurrence was the fall of Samaria, by which the mission of united Israel became the heritage of Judah alone. During all these troubled times Isahal was the leading statesmen of his country.
Isaiah was filled with fear of a vision because it was a vision of God, and the Hebrews believed that no one could see God and live. Isaiah loved God, and instinctively he prepared to join his voice to the seraphs' chant, but are the harmony could pass his lips he caught his breath, and was dumb. A horrible sense of uncleanness selzed him.
One of the bright seraphs, "glowing as with fire, and with wings like the lightning flash," took a hot stone with tongs from the mouth and poured Isaiah in token of purification. The hot stone is a stone kept in all ancient Oriental households as a means of applying heat to household purposes.
Why does Jehovah seek a man to go on his errands, when he has the winged seraphs? Because men can reach men better than angels can. Only once did God choose a completely sinless preacher. Always, but that once, God has chosen 'sinful men; and not seldom, the most sinful of men he could get to speak to their fellow-men about sin and salvation. Isaiah was quick to offer himself as the messenger, because he felt himself, with his sin removed, both fit and able for service, and wanted to show his gratitude for what had been done for him.
How does this marvelous chapter apply to our nation and to home missions? It contains a message of doom and a message of hope and promise. Which shall it be for our nation? The former, if Christians are heedless of the great work before them, to evangelize the masses of our fellow-countryman that do not know Christ. The latter, if holy missions are curiously promoted, in the spirit and power of our Lord.
One of the chief problems of home missions is the large number of foreign immigrants. When the United States is prosperous more than a million of these come to our shores every year, and about three-fourths of them remain. The large majority of present-day immigrants come from Italy, Australia, Hungary and Russia, the European lands that are for best removed from our国土 civilization. In proportion to their numbers, the foreigners in the major states speak two and one-half times as many criminals as the foreigners in three times as great as among the native whites, and proportion also is three times as prevalent. Europe alone will send in 100,000 immigrants every year independently, while its own population is increased.
Home missionaries meet the immigrant at Hills Island and give him a Bible and a word of kindly advice. The American Bible Society sends its supporters into the most inaccessible regions. The American Sunday School inorganic Sunday schools wherever a few can be brought together, and from these schools many churches spring. Our churches give to home missionaries more than $10,000 every year, and the denominational home mission boards are pushing aggressively into their only century. There are many bright spots in the home mission field.

I took the trouble to watch a trimmer fill a basket with ordinary potatoes, writes "Tip," in the New York Press. He took an enormous potato too big to sell to any wise buyer. He put this potato on end with crowns up in the basket and then he built upon it a kind of trestlework or bridge, piling on the fine sized, nice, round baking boys on top. When the customer buys, the potatoes are poured as quickly as a flash into a big bag and it is only when the housewife gets home that she find the giant-sized potato nearly filling, the bag, and she wisens up when she cuts up the big, fat boy for boiling. As a rule, the big ones have a great big hollow heart and insides as black as a man's hat. Nowadays they are selling tomatoes and other "trunk" on baskets, not in them. They take an nice big wad of paper and fill up the basket to the top and then pile in the produce and put on the price.
Smuggling In Italy.
Smuggling goods into Italy by aeroplane, which has led to a serious accident near Mont Cenis, will probably be extensively practiced in the future, despite the attendant risks. The Italian laws against smuggling are most severe. A peasant caught with only a pound of contraband tobacco is pretty sure to incur two years' imprisonment, besides paying 6, heavy fine. The customs officials, too, are authorized to shoot persons crossing the frontier who refuse to halt when challenged, and several lives are thus sacrificed every year. Still, the profits of smuggling are so great that many brave the perils. A knapsack filled with tobacco or salt, safely laded, yields a small fortune to the smuggler, so heavy are the taxes upon these.
. Bound to. Worry.
"My wife," said a young benedict, "is so exceedingly anxious at night that she scarcely sleeps at alk." Burglar's! asked an old married man. "Yes." Well, you have to expect that. My wife was like that. Every time she heard a noise downstairs she'd rout me out and send me down to investigate. After time, however, I convinced her that if a burglar did get into the house he would not make any noise at all." That's rather good! exclaimed the young one. "I'll try that." Don't do it! pleaded the other, "for if your wife's anything like mine, she'll worry every time she doesn't hear a noisio downstairs."
