THE PLTTSBURGH COURIER. VOL. II. NO. 26. MUSICAL CENTER IN WASHINGTON Success of School Founded by Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall. FACULTY OF CAPABLE TUTORS The Washington Conservatory of Music. Its Various Departments and How It Is Regarded by Persons of Note In the Profession—Donors of Scholarships. Washington.—The Washington Conservatory of Music, which held its annual commencement on Friday, evening, June 16, at the New Howard theater, is the most unique school of its kind in the world. It stands for a broad and thorough training in the arts for all people without regard to race or sex. The conservatory was founded Oct. 1, 1903, by Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and occupies a commodious building at 902 T street, N. W., in the center of one of the most refined and cultured residential sections of the national capital. It has registered 1,400 students, representing not only the city of Washington, but many states of the Union. Its faculty is composed of progressive teachers, many of whom have sup- MRS. HABRIET, GIBES MARSHALL, pleased their superior training in the best schools of art in America and in study abroad. During the more than seven years of its existence, twenty-three diplomas have been presented to its graduates, and it has awarded thirty-six scholarships. H. T. Hurleigh, Cole and Johnson, B. T. Washington, M. W. Gibbs, R. R. Church, R. C. Owens, Susie Smith, J. Gerald Tyler, Harper Fortune, Clarence Cameron White, L. Williams, Harriet Gibbs Marshall and M. C. James, are among the donors of scholarships. They believe that the colored people themselves should contribute materially to the development of the higher arts. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall is president of the board of managers of the conservatory, Professor George W. Cook trepurer, Miss Abby Williams secretary, Mr. Lewis G. Gregory financial secretary and Miss Annie E. Grinage president of committee of auxiliary clubs. The work has been much strengthened by the forming of auxiliary clubs. Among the presidents and officers are CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. Mines. Fearing. A. W. Cromwell, S. A. Fountain, G. W. Cabiness, W. L. Tig- nor and C. A. Grimshaw and Misses A. Grimse and M. Young. There are departments in piano voice and violin, piano tuning, theory analysis, harmony counterpoint, fugue, vocal, expression, wind instruments, history of music and methods. The free advantages include lectures on art elementary harmony, musical history, pupil recitals, teachers' recitals, analysis, orchestral practice, reading room, ensemble playing, chamber music, choral classes, sight singing and choral work. The brilliant gradates in pianoforte instructed by Mrs. Harriet Gibbe Mar- THE NEGRO A FACTOR IN MUSIC THE ONLY PURELY AMERICAN MUSIC IS THAT OF THE NEGRO. It has been said that the only purely American music is that of the Negro. Inherently, the Negro is musical. He is by nature a happy and contented mortal and even in his darkest hour, he is found consoling himself with some tuneful melody and in many instances purely original. There is something so appealing and pathetic about the melodies that go right to the heart. Hisimitators are many, but to the practiced ear the sweetness and melody is only found in the original. There has been an epidemic of "coon" songs and they are termed rag songs. These in no way represent the true Negro melodies. Is it a wonder that our white prehens are trying to devise ways and means of robbing us of our right of being the originators of the only American music. Are we not as much American as they? Every other nationality that enters our borders are soon lost sight of in the maddening whirl and are designated as Americans. We who have prior right for some unknown reason are termed Negroes, not that we object to the name, but the inconsistency. We have much to be proud of and we do not propose to allow any nationality to usurp our rights. The music of our souls God gave us and it has been in a measure our salvation. In our midst can be found those who can write the plantation melodies to the talented young men who have made such a stir in the musical world the past week. The entire Chicago press is talking about them. We refer to Alfred Anderson and de Koven Thompson, who have just written a love ballad that the greatest singer in the world finds pleasure in using. There is always room at the top. These young men have gone on the theory that keeping everlastingly at it brings success. That they have gained this is now practically assured. The race is full of just such men as these and to them we would say, do not wait for an opportunity, but make one—Illinois Chronicle. shall are sufficient testimony to her ability as a teacher of experience and method. She also conducts classes in harmony, counterpoint, history and analysis and pipe organ. Miss Abby L. Williams, a gifted and talented pianist, has been with the school since its foundation, and much of its present success is due to her tireless devotion to the work both as secretary and teacher. Mr. Harper S. Fortune of Boston has charge of the department of string and wind instruments and the new and much needed department of piano tuning. As he is an expert piano tuner the management is fortunate in securing his services. Mr. Henry Lee Grant, a graduate of the artist course of this institution, has just finished a most successful year in this school as teacher of harmony and piano. He has studied theory in the music department of the New York university under Thomas Tapper and chorus training and public music under Horlas Dani and was at one time a pupil INTERIOR OF ONE OF THE STUDIOS. of Frank B. Gebest of this city. Mr. Grant is a wide awake, progressive teacher and an intelligent performer. Advantages of School of Expression. It is believed by the management of the conservatory that the school of expression is the only one of the kind in the south which is open without regard to race or sex. It has been felt that the little or no instruction in location which is to be had at any of our leading institutions falls far short of meeting either the needs or the talents of the people. Here opportunity is afforded to form a good style in reading and speaking as well as to prepare for teaching, platform and pulpit work. This department is under the able direction of Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, a graduate of the Emerson School of Oratory, Boston, and a teacher of experience. Mrs. Marshall, the very able president of the institution, said recently that the institution must be endowed to meet its growing needs and to accomplish its possibilities. Prominent people throughout the country are deeply interested in this institution, and among these are Hon. Henry B. F. Macfarland and Hon. Henry L. West, former commissioners of the District of Columbia; President H. C. King of Oberlin college; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, secretary of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People; Professor Albert Busnel Hart, professor of history in Harvard university; Miss Eleanor Smith of the Michigan conservatory of Music, Mrs. Marie R. Hefer of Columbia University Teachers' college, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute, and C. W. Morrison, director of Oberlin Conservatory of Music. NATIONAL HOME CULTURE LEAGUE TO SOLVE PROBLEM NOTICE We are going to have an educational page June 24. Graduates send photograph with short sketch and $1.25 for cut and you will appear on this page. Manager Nearly fifty years of freedom which has been marked by a most wonderful intellectual transformation and by great financial business and industrial achievements has served to bring us to a faint realization of how much we have yet to accomplish along lines of the fundamental principles of ideal race advancement and achievements. The one essential principle or element underlying, permeating and cementing all efforts in the building, creating and establishing of a great lasting and powerful race, is pride in its individual and collective achievements, which may properly be termed race, pride. We are today being forced into a realization that our great weakness and apparent helplessness, as a race, are to be found, first, in the lack of character, honor and culture and refinement of the men and women and boys and girls who are representing the race in the front ranks with their mouths and obnoxious conduct in public gas and notice, and, from this presentation, we are being measured, judged and rated by the harmaer of civilization; and, second, in our lack of pride and interest in, and assistance given, our men and women in business, in the professions and in fact, every avenue of our business, professional and industrial activity. professional and industrial. These are the vital elements which must form the basis or foundation of our future efforts if we hope to be able to command that recognition, respect and honor, as a race, we today demand without the force of character and centralization and amalgamation of our business and industrial activity to command. Two hundred and forty years of slavery and nearly fifty years of restricted liberty and curtailed freedom has served to crush out of our race every vestige of our natural and original spirit—the natural heritage of all races or nationalities that have true conceptions of liberty and national strength. There are evidences of a persistent desire on the part of the dominating race in this country to begin in infancy to poison the minds and hearts of their children against our race with the apparent purpose of producing deep-seated prejudice that cannot be easily eradicated and thus the cherished idea of superiority and inferiority can be perpetual and generation to generation but without our by the most potent hand of law. We will admit that the dominating race is in some measure, justified in discriminating against us, as a race, and all of the more intelligent, cultured and refined of our race would like to be able to get around this intelligence, refinement, complexion, position, character or financial standing, we find ourselves powerless to command recognition because we are regarded simply as distinct individuals and not as members of a united, crystallized and powerful race of twelve million souls. It is, therefore, evident that the intelligence, culture and refinement of the race is so small as compared with the vulgar, heedless, noisy and unprincipled who are depriving upon the race disgrace and shame and a generally growing dislike for us in almost every conceivable capacity. It is, therefore a very great and great disfortune for the race that so many of our sons and daughters are so prone to follow lives of deradication and shame and that there appears to be a swelling tide of mental and moral corruption sweeping the country until our sons and daughters are being swept from their homes and the advice and admonition of fond parents as it by magic. Wherein, then, lies the hope or the race under such conditions? Our grand institutions such as Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Hampton Institute, Wilberforce, Fisk, Clark and Howard Universities, together with a long list of colleges, schools, secret societies, local clubs, societies and organizations, the "Niagara Movement," the "Organization of the advancement of Colored People," and the many churches and Sunday schools, all have their influence for the general uplift and are accomplishing great and lasting good for the race, but they have not proven sufficient, either individually or collectively, to reach our deepest needs nor are they broad enough to cover the scope of our field of endeavor nor high enough to lift us to the crowning glory of our highest hope. The period of experiment and demonstration in our history to prove and disprove, in which we have proven beyond question our capabilities and possibilities, has passed, and the period of absorption, expansion and material and comprehensive growth, as a race, is dawning upon us and we must, therefore, begin to lay deep and broad a first, sure and lasting foundation on which we may build, guided by the God who heard the prays of our fathers and promised that. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God. In this day of nurtured, fostered and cultivated antipathy against us God is just as able and willing to deliver us from every form of these inhuman and ungodly practices and treatment as He was to deliver the four million of our fathers from the shackles of bondage, but we must draw nigh unto God and be brought into His fear and favor and prepare ourselves for whatever it may be His good pleasure to give us. The future of our race in every field of honest endeavor is a matter of serious concern and grave anticipation. We are daily being disgraced and degraded on every hand by men and women and boys and girls of low morals and degraded characters until conditions, not only in Pittsburgh but throughout the country, have become alarming from a moral standpoint, even in the face of the combined influence of the courches and all other moral agencies and influences. Shall we, therefore, continue passive and indifferent while corruption, vice and immortality are sapping the life-blood of the race? Allow me to declare unto you, my fellow citizens, with all the emphasis that is necessary to characterize its importance, that a practical and unfailing process of transformation must be put in operation. We must engage the attention and enlist the co-operation, assistance and support of the individual members of every race throughout the city, state and country in a grand and noble movement, for a mental, moral, business and industrial transformation until we shall have produced a new race, both in the home and in public, in its force of character, culture and refinement and priding in our race identity and in the magnitude and compass of our business, industrial, intellectual and financial achievements. With the great future of the race in the hands of the politician, the sport, the gambler, the ward heeler, the loafer and the street walker, our doom is sealed. We are face to face with this appalling menace to further race advancement. Through political, mental and moral corruption and our failure to keep our cause in the hands of the God of our faith, we are today facing the cradle in history as American citizens. Inspiration outside the sacred confines of the churches, is political, business, mental and moral turpitude until we have lost sight of the salvation of our souls and the salvation of our race. It has been wisely said 'The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,' so also may it just as wisely be said. The hand that shall hereafter rock the cradle, and the mind and heart that shall hereafter mould and shape the mind and character of our sons and daughters they shall rock, shall shape and guide the future destiny of our race. There must, therefore, be an awakening. We must be stirred up to a sense of our pressing duty to our masses, our children, our race and our race. Let us by our sincere and earnest prayers and our faithful devotion to God, our homes, our children and our race, become the salt of this great country, and its inspiration and hope. We do not accept the theory as presented, manifested and inculcated by the Caucasian in this country for nearly three hundred years, that color is a badge of interiority and that, by virtue of our color, we are under any obligation for that reason alone, to stand back, step aside, take a rear seat or a rear position out of defence to representatives of any other race or nationality. We do accept the theory that the character and conduct or deportment of a large proportion of our people are very distasteful as well as repulsive and wherever they appear, and that it has a tendency, and does actually disgrace the race and greatly lessen our right to claim all that is legally and justly due us as a race. Our character and conduct or deportment having to do with the creating of public sentiment and prejudice against and encourages a general disregard for our rights. Let us put forth an united and vigorous effort to remove ever cause used as a pretext for discrimination against us. With our cause in God's hands and the race armored with the essential habiliments of progressive warfare against every influence that tends to create prejudice, hatred and opposition to the race, based solely on color, the vista of the future will be emblazoned with torebodings of great achievements. Might and power shall not prevent our race from attaining a high place in the civilization of the world, nor shall a high place in the civilization of the world be attained through might and power, but by my spirit saith the Lord. God is fighting our battles by the admixture or races, the drifting of (Continued on Page Eight.) STUDENTS TOLD HOW TO SUCCEED Dr. J. F. Fitschen Speaks at Mary Potter School UPHOLDS DIGNITY OF LABOR Commencement Exercises of Well Known Institution in Oxford, N. C. Attended by Visitors From Several States—What Young Women Must Know Before Graduating. BY GEORGE F. KING. Oxford, N. C.—"Duty and the Privilege of Service" was the subject of the address of Rev. J. F. Fitschen, Jr., of Ithaca, N. Y., at the recent graduating exercises of Mary Potter Memorial school, Dr. George C. Shaw principal. Rev. Mr. Fitschen is pastor of one of the leading Presbyterian churches in the Empire State. His presence and philosophical manner of reaching the problems which will confront any graduate first entering the world of affairs inspired his audience. He in part said: "Work is the divine appointment and service for others the highest honor. The world doesn't owe us a living, but we owe it the best service we can render and not because we have to, but because it is our voluntary choice to qualify for such service demanding training in any line—for example, be a good farmer or a skilled mechanic. And those who had special opportunity for such training ought to pass it on to others. "Promotion and honor come to those who are doing any present duty in the worthiest way as graduates of such an institution as this, and you will be marked men and women among your own people, and your neighbors if your ideal and aim are to do your work, whatever it may be, in the best possible way and with an ambition be of larger service, and you will know the truest success in life and CLASS IN DOMESTIC SCIENCE your teacher and friends will never have occasion to be disappointed in war." The annual sermon was delivered by Dr. G. Dillard of Goldsboro, N.C. This institution's curriculum is such that it prepares a student for college and a life of usefulness. Its graduates are potent examples of well rounded students, and they are found in various professions and institutions of higher education, making a record reflecting credit upon this school in the Pledmont section of North Carolina. A pertinent feature of the school is that no girl can graduate who cannot make her graduating dress. The literary department is equal to that of the best schools doing preparatory work, and every phase of training for the development of the student that is possible for the school to give is in evidence at this school. Its influence has helped white people residing in the community, and the principal is encouraged by them because it aims to make its student body a factor in the activities of life. Dr. Shaw is a graduate of Lincoln university and of Auburn Theological school, which is considered to be one of the leading schools for the theologs in the Presbyterian church. This training has given him such broadness that the school is being conducted so that it will not be prescribed by any fad, but for the purpose of training a person for the work which he or she is best fitted by nature to do. The commencement week was quite an event in this section. Visitors from various states were present. Plank For Next Republican Platform The Prithian Monitor thinks that in order to win in 1912 the Republican party should base its campaign on human rights and fair play for the man farthest down, regardless of race, color or previous condition. Thus is written the first plank in the next national Republican platform. Corona, Ala. Normal and Industrial Institute Is Unique School. WHITES ATTEND EXERCISES—PROMINENT CITIZENS OF CORONA, ALABAMA, SEE NEGRO GRADUATES AWARDED DIPLOMAS. Corona, Ala. (Special).—A large number of prominent white citizens of this community attended the closing exercises of the Corona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes, which is supported by negro miners by the payment of a monthly tax, among whom was Belton Gilreath of Birmingham, well known as a philanthropist and publicist. Others present were Dr. D. B. Chilton, H. P. Gibson, superintendent of Corona mines; J. W. Harkiss, superintendent of the Patton mines; Rev. J. E. Kigoreg, president of the school board; J. T. Savage of the Corona mines; A. Carpell, W. F. Flies and R. C. Lollar, merchants of Corona. Mr. Gilreath was introduced by L. B. Musgrove, president and general manager of the Corona corporation, who paid a high tribute to the faithfulness of the negroes of this section in maintaining the institution for the education of their children. "You have been faithful in many things," he said. "This corporation could not have been the success it has without your help. I have never had to call for help of any kind without a ready response, and in my heart I appreciate it." In the beginning of his address, Mr. Gilreath commented on the infrequency of crime in this district as compared with that of other mining districts and declared it to be due in a large measure to the influence of the institution. The work of William H. Omnath, who laid the foundation of the "The negroes of this section of Alabama have a great opportunity. Two-thirds of the ore mining is done by them, whereas, when I first came to Alabama it was done entirely by white miners. Negroes are learning how to do things. Mr. Musgrove in his work here is a great agent for the people. He pays you a high compliment when he admits that you are collaborors with him. God put you here for a purpose. He had a motive for it, for he is behind all race movements. If the white people are ahead of you in any way, remember they have great responsibilities by reason of that fact that you do not have. "You have with them, however, the same chance to read the Bible; the same chance for development; the same chance to build character and, after all, it is character that counts. Your race is doing far more than you perhaps think; and yet there is a great work for you to do. The white people have the same trouble raising money for their institutions that you have, and you have no need to be discouraged at all. "The same God that laid down the principle that out of the sweat of therow shall man be fed, also laid down the principle that all men were created out of one blood. It is not a question of color. It is a question of what man is doing. You have great face leaders. Take their advice, emulate their example, and you will have no need to be discouraged. You must learn that to succeed in any work means to become an artist. A cook is an artist; so is the good miner; the good farmer. To develop this school here as you have begun, I want you to work in harmony with your trusts, with your principal, and above all, for yourselves, save your money and buy property." In closing, Mr. Gilseath paid a high tribute to the efficiency of the work of the principal, M. H. Griffin. Superintendent J. W. Harkins declared that in all his work he heard no complaint from the miners of the tax they paid for the support of the school, and that in the work of the man he could see the good influence of the school. REFORMERS "COME BACK." Richmond, Va.—(Special)—After a remarkable campaign the Grand United Order of True Reformers have succeeded in rehabilitating itself. Insurance Commissioner Joseph Button, for Virginia, has renewed the license of this great organization and it is now beginning a new era for itself. Throughout the country there is great elation over the "coming back" of the organization, because it shows that the negro is capable of conserving his varied interests of large movements for the conservation of certain economic forces conducive to the material progress of people of negrid descent. WISE ROSALINDI Reginald—Darling, I see by the papers that a food expert says that it is possible for a family to live on $4 a week. Do you think it possible? Rosalind—No, dearest, but I'll be a sister to you!—Cleveland Leader. FIVE CENTS A COPY SERIOUS CHARGES To the Right Rev. W. J. Gaines, of the First District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church: I regret most seriously the incidents, which led up to this enforced correspondence. I have always striven to show due respect for those in authority over me, but it is impossible for me to respect wickedness, when I know it to be parading itself under the gaze of Christianity. I love to honor the honorable, but I abominate the practice of deception and hypocritical mockery of, religious profession. And if for these I am despised and am made the subject of your wrathful indignation, I can make an apology for the uncompromising practice of the reign of corruption in our conference, such as you have openly encouraged, and for which I cannot accord you the same degree of esteem as that charmed for others of your rank. Therefore, please note the following: First—You are undoubtedly aware of the corrupt lives of some of the men you have honored above a highly intelligent and acceptable class. There are those whom you have known to have prostituted their authority, but have your highest approval. Second—Neither I nor the men against whom you have sedulously sought unprovoked vengeance, to the injury of the churches they served, can be classed as prisoners, such as some men you delight to honor, who escaped long terms of imprisonment by mere trickery maneuvering. Third—Neither against me nor others upon whom you have vented your spleen, can you secure court records to show that we both sought to kill our wives, and we are guilty of the seduction of impostor girls; such as some have done whom you have honored. Would you have us produce the records? Fourth—Neither have I nor others persecuted by you, ever let a district under charges, without being able as secure a transfer. Have I not sent you have hearsay? Sixth—Neither have I nor others you seem to hate with cruel hatred have ever been taken into court, in order to compel us to give food and shelter to our wives. But that class seem to be your ideal of Christian manhood. Seventh—Neither have I nor others of the "Brotherhood of Square Dealers" caused you any uneasiness because of financial irregularities in our churches, nor drunken indulgences, nor any general licentious practice, unbecoming the gospel of Christ, such as you are perfectly conscious of, having taken place with some you have unintentionally rewarded. You have few, if any, sustaining the same relation to the Conference, of twenty-nine (29) years of unbroken service, who have not at any time had a rupture in his church nor been regarded as having failed. Yet with the care of my children, you send me to a membership of seventy-five (75) persons for support. But you tell us that you have the Spirit of Christ, while you plainly did, almost everything that you could prostitute your office to perform in slaughtering a body of men who had pledged themselves to a course of righteous endowment; all because we refused to how our knees to the uncircumcised philifines and worship at the shrine of Baal. All governments honor their faithful servants and punish their criminals. But your course of administration is an exception to this rule. In actual practice, you reward licentiousness, encourage cruelty in domestic circles, and wink at financial irregularities. Moral integrity, constancy in devotion, and loyalty to denominational interests, except when "they come in the form of truckling, sycophant, unscrupulously crouching for preferment, have been rebuffed and punished. In conclusion, my Bishop, I do not begrudge you of your twenty-five hundred ($2,500) salary, nor your well paid travelling expenses, nor your invitable gifts, you receive at conferences. I only ask to be permitted, upon merit, to secure bread for my family. But, mark you, Bishop Galines, God is not a hardship. He presides over the daily of all men, rewarding good and evil deed, will not forget mine and my family's (29) years of sacrifice, and terms for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ, will be justly recompensed, your cruelty to the contrary notwithstanding. I am yours for the cause of justice R. WILLIAM FICKLAND, D. D. A member in good and regular standing in Philadelphia A. M. E. Conference—Exchange.

(Continued.) "It's only Jim," I whispered. "I—I don't want to ask any more." "Get up! Get up off your knees this instant!" Bella was saying frantically. "Some one might come in." "Don't send me away," Jim said in a smothered voice. Every one in the house is asleep and "I love you, dear." Aunt Sellina swallowed hard in the darkness. "You have no right to make love to me," Bella. "It—it's highly improper, under the circumstances." "Poor old Jim!" This was Bella. A pause. "Then—'Let my hand alone!' Also Bella. "It is my hand!'" Jim's most fatuous tone. "There is where you wore my ring. There's the mark still." Sounds of Jim kissing Bella's ring finger. "What did you do with it? Throw it away?" More sounds. Aunt Selina crossed the library swiftly, and again I followed. Bella was sitting in a low chair by the fire, looking at the logs, in the most exquisite negligence of pink chiffon and ribbon. Jim was on his knees, staring at her adoringly, and holding both her hands. "I'll tell you a secret," Bella was saying, looking as coy as she knew how—which was considerable. "I—I still wear it, on a chain around my neck." On a chain around her neck! Bella, who is decolette whenever it is allowable, and more than is proper! That was the limit of Aunt Selina's endurance. Still holding me, she stepped through the doorway and into the firelight, a fearful figure. Jim saw her first. He went quite white and struggled to get up, smiling a sickly smile. Bella, after her first surprise, was superbly indifferent. She glanced at us, raised her eyebrows, and then looked at the clock. "More victims of insomnia!" she said. "Won't you come? Jim, pull up a chair by the fire for your aunt." Aunt Selina opened her mouth twice, like a fish, before she could speak. Then— "James, I demand that woman leave the house!" she said hoarsely. Bella leaned back and yawned. "James, shall I go?" she asked amiably. "Monsense," Jim said, pulling himself together as best he could. "Look here, Aunt Selina, you know she can't go out, and what's more, I—don't want her to go." "You—what?" Aunt Sellina screeched, taking a stop forward. "You have the audacity to say such a thing to me!" Bella leaned over and gave the fire log a punch. "I was just saying that he shouldn't say such things to me, either," she remarked pleasantly. "I'm afraid you'll take cold. Miss Caruthers. Wouldn't you like a hot sherry flip?" "He said he loved you: I heard him," she said weakly. "He—he was going to put his arm around you." "Habit?" Jim put in, trying to smile. "You see, Aunt Selina, it's—well, it's a habit I got into some time ago, and I—my arm does it without my thinking about it." "Habit?" Aunt Selina repeated, her voice thick with passion. Then she turned to me. "Go to your room at once," she said in her most useful ```markdown ``` W tone. "Go to your room and leave this shocking affair to me." But if she had reached her limit, so had I. If Jim chose to ruin himself, it was not my fault. Any one with common sense would have known at least to close the door before he went down on his knees, no matter to whom. So when Aunt Selina turnes on me and pointed in the direction of the staircase, I did not move. "I am perfectly wide awake," I said coldly. "I shall go to bed when I am entirely ready, and not before. And as for Jim's conduct, I do not know much about the conventions it such cases, but if he wishes to embrace Miss Knowles, and she wants him to, the situation is interesting, but hardly novel." Aunt Selina rose slowly and drew the folds of her dressing gown around her, away from the contamination of my touch. "Do you know what you are saying?" she demanded herself. "I do," I was quite white and still from my knees up, but below I was wavery. I glanced at Jim for moral support, but he was looking idolatrously at Belln. As for her, quite suddenly she had dropped her mask of indifference. Her face was strained and anxious, and there were deep circles I had not seen before, under her eyes. And it was Bella who finally threw herself into the breach—the family breach. "It is all my fault, Miss Caruthers," she said, stepping between Aunt Selina and myself. "I have been a blind and wicked woman, and I have almost wrecked two lives." "Two! What of mine? ... "You see," she struggled on, against the glint in Aunt Selina's eyes. "1—1 "It's Only Jim." I Whispered. did not realize how much I cared, until it was too late. I did so many things that were cruel and wrong—oh, Jim, Jim!" She turned and burbled her head on his shoulder and cried; real tears. I could hardly believe that it was Bella. And Jim put both his arms around her and almost cried, too, and looked nauseatingly happy with the eye he turned to Bella, and scared to death out of the one he kept on Aunt Sellina. She turned on me, as of course. I knew she would. "That," she said, pointing at Jim and Bella, "that shameful picture is due to your own indifference. I am not blind: I have seen how you rejected all his loving advances." Bella drew away from Jim, but he jerked her back. "If anything in the world would reconcile me to divorce, it is this unbelievable situation. James, are you shameless?" But James was and didn't care who knew it. And as there was nothing else to do, and no one else to do it, I stood very straight against the doorframe, and told the whole miserable story from the very beginning. I told how Dal and Jim had persuaded me, and how I had weakened and found it was too late, and how Bella had come in that night, when she had no business to come, and had sat down in the basement kitchen on my hands and almost turned me into a raving maniac. As I went on I became fluent: My sense of injury grew on me. I made it perfectly clear that I hated them all, and that when people got divorces they ought to know their own minds and stay divorced. And at that a great light broke on Aunt Selina, who hadn't understood until that minute. In view of her principles, she might have been expected to turn on Jim and Bella, and disl屑它 them, and cast them out, figuratively, with the flaming sword of her tongue. But she did not! She turned on me in the Screwed me out of family condences. Mr. Buggins had finished his evening papers, and in slippers and dressing gown was toasting his tees before the asbestics fire log, while the wife of his bosom was putting a few stitches in the table cover she was doing for Aunt Mary, and which she hoped to have finished by Christmas. "I did something today that I've been screwing up my courage to for a long time," said Mrs. Buggins. "Yes?" said Mr. Buggins, mildly interested. "What was it?" "You know that odious Mrs. B Jones?" replied Mrs. Buggins. "Well, I paid her a call that I have owed for nearly a year." "My dear, I can sympathize with you," said Mr. Buggins. "Today, by a strange coincidence I paid that odious Sir. B Jones a bill I had owed him for quite as long." THE COURIER. most terrible way, and asked me how I dared to come between husband and wife, because divorce or no divorce, whom God hath joined together, and so on. And when Jim picked up his courage in both hands and tried to interfere, she pushed him back with one hand, while she pointed the other at me and called me a Jezebel. CHAPTER XIX. She talked for an hour, having got between me and the door, and she scolded Jim and Bella thoroughly, but they did not hear it, being occupied with each other, sitting side by side meekly on the divan with Jim holding Heila's hand under a cushion. She said they would have to be very good to make up for all the deception, but it was perfectly clear that it was a relief to her to find that I didn't belong to her permanently, and as I have said before, she was crazy about Bella. I sat back in a chair and grew comfortably drowsy in the monotony of her voice. It was a name that brought me to myself with a jerk. "Mr. Harbison!" Aunt Sellina was saying. "Then bring him down at once. James. I want no more deception. There is no use cleaning a house and leaving a dirty corner." "It will not be necessary for me to stay and see it swept," I said, mustering the rags she had left of my self-respect, and trying to pass her. But she planted herself squarely before me. "You can not gtlr up a dust like this, young woman, and leave other people to sneeze in it," she said grimly. And I stayed. "I sat, very small, on a chair in a corner. I felt like Jeezel, or whatever her name was, and now the Harbison man was coming, and he was going to see me stripped of my pretensions to domesticity and of a husband who neglected me. he was going to see me branded a living life, and he wbld. hate me because I had put him in a ridiculous position. He was just the sort to resent being ridiculous. Jim brought him down in a dressing gown and a state of bewilderment. It was plain that the memory of the afternoon; stillranked, for he was very short with Jim and inclined to resent the whole thing. The clock in the ball chimed half after three as they came down the stairs, and I heard Mr. Harbison stumble over something in the darkness and say that if it was a joke, he wasn't in the humor for it. To which Jim retorted that it wasn't anything resembling a joke, and for heaven's sake not to walk on his feet: He couldn't get around the furniture any faster. At the door of the den Mr. Harbison stopped, blinking in the light. Then, when he saw us, he tried to back himself and his dishabille out into the obscurity of the library. But Aunt Sellina was to quick for him. "Come in," she called, "I want you, young man. It seems that there are only two, fools in the house, and you are one." He straightened at that and looked bewildered, but he tried to smile. "I thought I was the only one," he said. "Is it possible that there is another?" "I am the other," she announced. "I think she expected him to say "impossible," but, whatever he was he was never harmed. "Is that no?" he asked politely, trying to be interested and to understand it the same time. He had not seen me. He was gaxing fixedly at Hella, languishing on the divan and watching him with towered lids; and he had given Jim a side glance of contempt. But now he saw me and colored under his tan. His neck blushed furiously, being much whiter than his face. He kept his eyes on mine, and I knew that he was mutely asking for forgiveness. But the thought of what was coming paralyzed me. My eyes were glued to his as they had been that first evening when he had called me "Mrs. Wilson," and after an instant he looked away, and his face was set, and hard. "It that we have all been playing a little comedy, Mr. Harbison." Aunt Selina began, nasally sarcastic. "Or, rather, and I have been the audience. The rest have played." "I don't think I understand," he said slowly. "I have seen very little comedy." "It was not well planned," Aunt Selina retorted tartly. "The idea was good, but the young person who was playing the part of Mrs. Wilson—or fractured." "Oh, come, Aunt Selina," Jim protested. "Kit was coaxed and cailed into this thing. Give me fits if you like: I deserve all I get. But let Kit alone—she did it for me." Bella looked over at me and smiled nastily. "I would stop doing things for Jim, Kit," she said. "It is so unprofitable." But Mr. Harbison harked back to Aunt Selina's speech. (TO BE CONTINUED.) "What do you think that madead Gladys said when, I persuaded her to read Dante's 'inferno' to improve her taste?" "What was it?" "That it was such a pity there were no postcards, in those days, for pictures of Dante's journey would have been such hot stuff." Merely a Suspicion. "If so many noblemen who come over here are broke, how do they manage to get across the water?" "Don't know, I sure, but I've seen waiters on board trans-Atlantic liners who had quite an air." He Saw Wood. The tramp who was told to say nothing and saw wood the next morning knocked at another door but said nothing because he saw wood. Canonsburg, Pa.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The cant-saying so popular now in the slang of the day, "they all look good when they're far away," has presented and vital application in the discussion as to whether America or Europe is to be preferred by the American colored citizen. The number of dissatisfied and disgruntled colored people in this country is growing daily, and the much heralded freedom from color prejudice of the old world has caused not a few strong and sensible colored men to ponder seriously the question as to whether they should not flee from the colorphobia of these shores. No one has yet come forth to deny the assertion that Europe is far less prejudiced than America. But if Booker T. Washington may speak through the notable series on "The Man Farthest Down" in the Outlook, the United States is infinitely better as a home for the black man than any country in Europe. On his recent trip abroad he was importured, he relates, by many Americans, both white and colored, to assist them in getting passage back home. A colored citizen especially demonstrated their fate, declaring there was no work in England for his race. Nor would Mr. Washington have us believe that the colored man on this side is only better off than the colored man on the other side. He declares that the colored man here is infinitely better off in his chances for work. Life and enjoyment than the white man of his same station there, in short, the distance of Europe lends almost her only enchantment. Singularly enough, George Clementeau, former premier of France, recently in his series in the New York Times, gives complete collaboration to the words of the Tuskegeean. In studying conditions in Brazil on his travels, he tells his "French brethren in shiny threadbare sleeves," that the black people of Brazil are, better off than they, "Come out here," he asks, "young men, in shiny threadbare sleeves, who make your way nightly homeward to the close dens around the Sacre Coeur; come and see these black coffee planters; men, women and children, living close to nature on the outskirts or civilization, and compare your own wretched quarters furnished by Dufayel on the 'Hire' system that has cost you such anxious moments, with the biblical nudity of these cabins and tell me where you see the worst form of slavery, here among the newly emancipated Africans or at home under your own coops?" To all those colored men greening with discontent at American conditions and yearning for Europe, we suggest that they follow these series by France's great statesman and America's great industrial educator. Yet to those same men we do not urge that they abate by one jot or little; their fight to have America give their race the rights and opportunities of equal citizenship which belong to them by fight. The colored citizens of this great land would be unworthy of their citizenship, unworthy possessors of the great heritage of freedom and equal rights handed down to them by 200,000 of their heroic fathers, if they did not press the battle to the gates until they are admitted to an equal place in their fatherland. And for this reason, too, they should stay here. Europe is settled with her fixed classes and her poverty. This is still the land of wealth and opportunity. It is for America's colored citizens to make the most of it. - Editorial: Amsterdam (N. Y.) News. Several weeks ago a hundred teachers visited Tuskegee Institute. They were amazed at what they saw. All men are amazed at Tuskegee, in many respects the thing wonderful, in America. Among the number there were several Ohio teachers and the editor of the Ohio Teacher. The editor puts in his journal his impression of the things he saw, and we venture the easiest paragraph for a Dayman's eye: "We might as well admit in the outset that Barker T. Washington has been doing for years what many a white educator has talked about and conquered he would do some day. During the past five years prominent educators have discussed the psychology of motivation, but the great school at Tuskegee has been motivating for a quarter of a century, and during the past ten years has solved many a pedagogical problem relative to manual training, vocational studies, the correlation of motor and sensory activities and the soil efficiency of the individual. While many of us have been talking ably about these things, Dr. Washington, born in slavery, has been modestly working them out for his life." That is too much for our usual withing hands, and we spread it on the minutes of official achievement, with the rather raked translation that Tuskegee is the model American university, that it came out of the brain and struggle of a Nigerian star, that it is the bright light for educational voyages, and that Booker Washington is the trophy of useful learning. If that translation process in the purpose is the fault of ours — N. Y. AFC. --- The negro must not only be a consumer but a producer. He must be a strong factor in a community in proportion as he purchases real estate and encourages in business enterprises. The young women of the race must be given employment in business enterprises as well as in professions. The negro is not contending for social equality in this country. He wants equal rights along all walks of life. With these he would be well contented. THE COURIER A London professor has found, that the white race is deceived to die off the face of the earth, and he has discovered that the original color of man was brown. While the information brought to us by the London truth-seeker is of great human interest, it is not altogether informing. We do not believe that the white race will ever die off the face of the earth, for that race is smart enough to save its life by fusion, or by the art of combining with all other races against what is still the undiscoverable purpose of time. What the white race may lack in vitality may be supplied by the blue bloods of our own southern states, as represented by the first families of Carolina, led by Tillman; the first families of Arkansas, led by Jefferson Davis, and the first families of Mississippi, led by Jeems Ridley Wardaman. No formula or discovery of science could convince these militant and heated defenders of the white race that their time of passage from the earth will ever come. We side with them. We should hate so much to give up white people, for they have their place in the civilization of the world and ought not to be disturbed by professors and unscion scientists. As for the color of original man, we have known all along that it was a color other than white, for that color is out of all harmony with nature, but have feared to claim it was black lost science should throw its giant form against us. We are willing to compromise on brown, the most engaging of all the colors, and which fits so well in all scheme and shading. The whites, as this London professor points out, may be unable to live in tropical climates, but they have fitted in well enough in Africa to gobble up all the lands and riches of that continent, and in most all other climates, tropical or otherwise where they have settled. There may be some serious facts with respect to the races of the earth, their colors, shadings, varying constitutions and organisms, such as Hozz of Columbia presents, but that one race will ever completely die away and another race alone survive, we take no stock in the fact. It is let us take our own country, that both white and black yellow and brown, are increasing year after year, increasing by hundreds of thousands. The group of people called negroes, for example, started out 50 years ago with 4,000,000 in numbers. Today a fair count would give them 12,000,000. So it is with the American whites, with this advantage for the blacks, however, that their increase except through a handful of West Indians, who do not affect the native colored population numerically, is altogether continental, while the whites are constantly receiving recruits from Europe. We hope the professors and the scientists will give the whites a chance. They are needed and, with proper care, can be made highly useful to all lands and governments. Here in our own country we are doing all we can with them to make them yield up something in the way of equality and justice to men and women of other colors. If they are put on the earth, what are we to do? To whom are we to appeal? How lonely it would be—New York Age. The courts have recently decided that if a person has one-sixteenth regro blood in his veins, such person is to be classed as an aggro. We thank the court for that decision; it solves a historical doubt that has been worrying us for many years. We've always admired the glory and achievements of the ancient Egyptians; we saw they were colored, but the racially ethnologists whom we studied always denied us the pleasure of thinking they were negroes. The courts have transferred a large section of brilliant history to our side of the house. We wonder what will the Hon. Tom Watson, the greatest master of style that this country has produced, says about this? Won't he have to revise some of his expressed opinions on this subject? When Mr. Watson gets loose again on this theme we are going to cite the decision of learned judges—Old Hickory. Some weeks ago we read an anly written editorial in one of our papers on the very important subject, "Are Preachers Overpaid?" The writer con- cluded that they are not. But isn't there another side to the question? We think so. And as it Is a settled habit with us to look for the other side of questions that have been set- tled, sealed, put inside and marked Q.E.D. we propose at the first opportu- nity to look for the other side of this question, to examine it, in with the cold neutrality of imperial power, to summarize nibb and settla- ness down in plain.

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. using mere imitations, to *tame* them. Be sure that the name "Poro" is on every box; not genuine without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "Poro." It stops the falling and starts the hair to growing at once.

"Unless he was convicted and executed I could get about three prices for him. "Every time a dog is haled to court on the charge of having bitten some body I attend the trial and take part in the reception the beast holds after his acquittal. A dog that has enough class about him to precipitate a lawsuit couldn't be bought for love or money, but if his master wished to sell him he could do so a dozen times over before leaving the courtroom. "Even if it has been proved that the dog does show his teeth once in a while there, are people willing to take chances just for the sake of owning a dog that has so much charac ing a dog that has so much charac ter. Selling dogs being in my line, I have studied up a good many ways to advertise, but trial by jury is the best way so far discovered." VALUE OF ADVERTISING. Real Selling Argument Necessary In the Construction of Copy- Dr. ABRON J. HOUSEY When the possibilities of consistent advertising dawn upon the mind of the average Afro-American in business we shall see a new era of commercial achievements. In the preparation of these articles the writer has a twofold purpose, the one being to direct the attention of the Afro-American advertiser to the lack of the progressive and modern in the construction of his advertising copy, the other being to educate the readers to the necessity of reading advertisements with the same interest they manifest in the other departments of their papers and demanding that the advertiser fulfill his promises in a fair price, an efficient service and courteous treatment. The average advertisement of an Afro-American firm found in Afro-American papers is little more than a mere announcement that such and such a firm is in business. There is most always a lack of the real selling arguments we so much like to read, the real coming together, the real "personal touch." It is these points, backed by efficient service, that give the dependable organization. I hope to see the time when colored firms in each locality will be clamoring for commanding space in their weeklies to tell their story to the public. Then we may be sure that the day of material progress is with us. CHARLEROI (By Mabel J. Webster) Mrs. Katherine Goll was a Charleroi caller over Sunday. Rev. L. V.

I saw a robin in Yosemite valley. Think how forlorn and out of place a robin would seem in the Grand Canyon? What would he do there? There is no turf for him to inspect and there are no trees for him to perch on. I would as soon expect to find him amid the pyramids of Egypt or amid the ruins of Karnak. The bluebird was there also, and the water owl凄厉-educed waters. The reader may create for himself: a good image of Yosemite by thinking of a section of seven or eight miles of the Hudson river midway of its course as emptied of its waters and deepened 3,000 feet or more, having the sides nearly vertical, with snow white waterfalls fluttering against them here and there the famous spires and domes planted along the rim, and the landscape of graves and glades, with its still, clear, winding river, occupying the bottom.

"Yep," replied Hop, with a broad grin. "I told the chantleur to lose you in the woods," said the wicked uncle. "How did you ever find your way back?" "I smelt my way along the gasoline trail," returned Hop, proudly, "and so saved myself from destruction by the wild beasts of the woods."—Harper's Weekly. WASHINGTON (By E. H. Brooks.)

The demonstration of the completing of another year's work of the Lincoln High school was held in the Virginia theater last Friday evening, at which time Earnest and Earl Armstrong (twin brothers), received their diplomas showing that the course had been successfully completed as laid down by the school, and their ability to make a start to face life with all its difficulties. After a selection from the orchestra and the invocation by the Rev. W. H. Crawley, D. D. Earnest delivered the first oration in a manner most pleasing to his relatives and friends, entitled "The Negro Soldier." Among the many spicy thoughts expressed in the oration, he proved that the Negro had shown himself by his bravery and fidelity to be fit for something more than is generally accepted. In conclusion the orator said that a race with such undaunted courage, certainly had a great future under God. After a vocal solo from Miss Alma Lightfoot, one of our prominent young ladies of this place, the life of one of our most honored dead heroes, Abraham Lincoln, was taken up by Earl Armstrong. Through this great character he showed how the forgiving nature and love of fellow man could overcome all difficulties; and that chisel, brush and eloquent tongue shall never fail to commemorate the deeds done by this great one who stood for our freedom. After a selection by the class, Prof. L. B. Moore, Dean of Teachers' college, made a most fitting address to the class. In his address he showed that education, which meant simply mastering the elements of once reading, writing and arithmetic, was now changed and carries with it a far larger scope, that with it all we must not lose faith in God, as the building up of self and character is the foundation of all education. The grammar class of Lincoln High school held its closing exercises last Thursday evening at the High school. Five completed the course and one prepared to commence the High school course next fall. The program was as follows: "Life" is a name of Ball. Ira Johns: "My Bread On the Water." Flosse Jones: piano solo: "Recollections of Home." Jennie Barbar: "Elder Lane's Donation." Bruce Hull: "The Old Ministrel." Cleaters Dungeon: monologue, "Class Prophecy." Jennie Barbar: address and presentation of diplomas, Rev. G. W. W. Jenukkan, D. D. Mr. and Mrs. E. G. R.

Miss Heyman, who is a very prominent young lady of this place, was not able to deliver her many friends, and was greatly surprised to find some fifty of them assembled to bid her God-speed on the sea of matrimony.

Sometimes the fellow who is good at whittling is good at thinking. The scandal monger is spotted out quick enough, but the folks are not averse to continue to listen. We all want to be solists in the world's melody, yet how much more harmony would be produced if we were content with our part in the chorus. The peach basket hat is a good screen for the man behind. To live humanely is to be kind, tolerant, forgiving and to sympathize with the weak. If the weather man were more kind, we'd have weather to suit everybody. Let us pray for him. Wonder how much of the Bible the average churchgoer carries within his mind as he steps out of the dim, religious atmosphere. The preacher who takes to paragraph sermons will draw the biggest congregation. This hot weather is good for such an experiment. Very few men really and truly know when they are in love. Most men count marriage as merely an additional item of expense. A bachelor quickly forgets his little troubles when he hears his married brother's tales of woe. A man should produce something, even if it be only near-poetry. All a woman has to do is to put a handle to it and she can carry her entire wardrobe in her hat. There may be no place like home to the man who's not wanted there. The panic monger gets as much amusement out of his idiotic fun as the rest of us. A generous soul suffuses the world with such a happy light that its reflection is immeasurable. Hate has never conquered anything — therefore it should be shunned as the greatest enemy to man's activity. Three little girls in blue, or three little girls in pink, makes no difference, so long as their prettiness is equal. Of all the might-have-beens, the sorriest is the man who wanted a pull for a starter and who got started the wrong way. The man who worries his fellow-workers because he must share his sorrows with anyone that's willing, ought to go through a second course of kindergarten. An affinity is an illegal tender. Large hats cover a multitude of little heads. Birds of a feather never like to preen together. A man's wife should the compendium of all other men's wives. When a fellow is always on the defensive, you know he has been at one time or another offensive. Trust to a vain woman not to leave out one in the display of her charms when she is on a man's track. The pessimist can always find good material for his dark theories even though he may be compelled to ink it. Self-confidence is the jewel set in the hoop of ability. Those who make a practice of leaning upon others always get some sort of support. The trivial has its place in this world, and only the dull believe that it counts for nothing. To cherish friendship it is not merely necessary to profess it—it is known by faith and works.

Homewood Notes This section of the city is rapidly increasing as to population among our people, so much so, that there are but few streets where we are not represented by a resident. The extreme ruthlessity, seems to affect their attendance at divine services. Last Sunday much vacancy was seen in the church. At the Zion church was had a rally which, while results were good, yet did not come up to expectation, still reports are still being made. Those who have cards are asked to report immediately. George Palmer delivered a very excellent dress in Zion on Sunday evening, which was much appreciated. We hope to have him come again, and not feel restricted as to time. The Daughters of Conference held a pleasant meeting at 3:30 in Zion. They were very much disappointed in not having the promised visitor from their sister society.

DOWNFALL OF SAMARIA Sunday School Lesson for June 18, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT-2 Kings 17:11-18 MEMORY VERSE-14. GOLDEN TEXT-18 That Being Often Raised Me by the New, Shall Suddenly be Deceived and That Without Remedy. "Prov. 29:1. TIME-Hoshea became king in the taste of Masas of 49 Kings 17:11; B. C. 72 (Beecher), 720 (Hastings). Bamaria (ell B. C.) 721 (Beecher), 722 (Hastings). PLACE-Samarie, the capital of the northern kingdom, about 15 miles north KINGS—Hezekiah in Judah, carrying out his reforms. In Assyria and Babylon, Shalmaneser IV., followed by Sargon II. In Assyria and Merodach-baladan in Babylon. In Egypt, Saboka (So.). PROPNETS—Isaiah and perhaps Hosea What was the character of Hoshes? The implication of v. 2 is that, though he allowed the practices of idolatry and the other evils of his predecessors, yet he was a better man than they. Perhaps the teachings of Hoshes had reached his heart. "About his personal character we know little. We may infer that it lacked decisive energy and lofty patriotism. Beginning his reign as a mere puppet in Assyria's hands, he shaped his career as opportunist. He was too astute to offend any national susceptibilities by abandoning the worship of Jehovah too cautious and politic to the role of a purist in his religious practices, the last king of Ephramil will not judge this last king of Ephramil too severely, but will unhesitatingly admit that he lived in times of direst difficulty and peril, when nothing but miraculous divinely guided statesmanship, like that of Isaiah, could have saved the realm from overwhelming disaster." The Northern Kingdom had had its chance, and had thrown it away. "There is less hope for us each year and day we live in slim. Every hour we are driving out to sea the helpless, helmless bark is leaving the lessening shore farther and farther behind. Our disease is becoming like the which though soft body is being raised from the quarry, grow hard as flint through exposure to the weather, our hearts are growing harder day by day." Hoshea's imprisonment is a fair sample of the result of dependence upon men rather than God. Trust in Egypt was Israel's snare from the first. The prophets compared it to trusting in a shadow or making a staff out of a bruised reed. "The bankrupt who asks a bankrupt to set him up in business again is only losing time. The prisoner does not beg his fellow prisoner to set him free. The shipwrecked man is forced to be wrecked comrade to place him safe ashore." In our troubles we are not to scorn the aid of men, but we are to know that without God's favor and assistance all human help is vain. What measures did Shalmaneser take to reduce to submission his rebellious vassal? He sent (or led in person) an army against him. Professor Rogers thinks that Hoshea marched out to meet this army, and was then captured and sent to Assyria as a prisoner. At any rate, "Samaria prepared for a siege. There is something heroic in the very thought. It was surrounded and hemmed in by territory over which it had once ruled in undisputed sway, but which had long been controlled by Assyrian governors and filled with Assyrian colonists. As Shalmaneser advanced closer he would, of course, destroy and lay waste everything about the city which might have furnished it. He would have captured villages and town thus destrored the people would flock into the capital until it was crowded. The people of Samaria may have helped for help from Egypt, watching with sick hearts for signs of an approaching army of succor. They knew what surrever meant in the loss of their city, and in probable deportation to strange laids. They were fighting to the bitter end for homes and for life. What God had done: By a marvelous deliverance, he had brought them out of their bondage in Egypt. He had driven out the Canaanites from before them. He had given them the commandments, and full 'and' wise laws. He had made a covenant with them, over and over, promising them all blessings if they would obey him. He had sent them the prophets and seers, the best and wisest of men, to declare his will and lead the way. What Israel had done: They had fallen into a worse bondage, becoming slaves of an abominable idolatry. They had fallen to worshiping the very gods of the Canaanites, thus proved powerless. They had broken the commandments, especially the most solemn and important, that against idolatry. They had failed to keep their part of the covenant, and could not expect God to keep his part. They would not listen to the prophets, but persisted in all Inquiline, setting up idolatrous obelisks, and Asherim, and even sacrificing their children to the fire god Molech. PRAY FOR THE OPEN HEART For With It Shall Come All Things That Bring With Them the Lord's Blessing. As the sun pours down his rays in floods upon the earth; so the Lord God is pouring out his spirit continually. We do not have to wait for an outpouring of the Spirit of God. It will never fall on earth in richer abundance than it is falling today. We need not plead with God to pour out his spirit. It is we who are blind to the light. One may walk in darkness while the light is being poured in while in floods all about him. Pray not for the outpouring of the Spirit, but pray for an open eye, an open mind, an open heart. "Lift me, one head, one heart, and so I will pour ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in." As the king of day comes in when the doors and windows are wide open, so the King of glory, the King of love, the king of righteousness, the King of truth, the King of peace shall come in, and cast out the darkness of sin and death. THE COURIER. Kadeshbarnea A Sermon And we came to Kadesh-barnea. Deteronomy, 1:13. Hadesbarnea was the place of the Israelites' greatest opportunity to possess the "promised" ladd of "Canaan," and their failure to do so at this particular time and place brought great sorrow to the heart of Moses, their leader, and caused the Israelites themselves to wander in the wilderness 40 years trying to recover to which they might have won in a single day if their faith in God had been sufficient to make them follow his commands. Opportunities come in the life of every man and nation, and when they are not embraced in many instances they are irrevocable—therefore we should ever be on the watch for the "Kadesbarnea" of life. The past, present and future of Israel met at Kadesbarnea and made a supreme moment in the life of the "individual and nation. They and marched many miles, had toiled and struggled and denied themselves of many comforts to reach this very place, the threshold of the promised Canaan, yet upon the threshold they failed. Every day is not a May-day in the life of men, and opportunities are not toys to be played with, for it is possible, as the case of Israel, to reach the margin of a glorious destiny and then for lack of moral strength or living faith turn and go wandering in the desert. When opportunities come, though they may be harbored by many difficulties, if we do not accept them the punishment of losing them is greater than the hardships of the fight to win them. When the Israelites at Kaddeharnahe said "We will not march to Canaan, for the journey is too rough and stony," then God said "The opportunity is lost—there is no other way to march but in the desert;" and so for 40 years they wandered around the plague of rest, but never set foot upon it. They paid dearly for their unbelief, and like Esan, who sold his birthright for a mees of pottage, sought it afterward with many tears, but found no place for its redemption. So with this generation of Israelites, Only Caleb and Joshua lived to set up the banner of victory in the land flowing with milk and honey. Many of them, no doubt spent day after day weeping over their lost opportunity, but God did not regard their tears and they moved drearily on to "nowhere"—their lives as empty as the desert over which they walked. There is a solemn lesson in our text. The great leader of the nation, before his own departure for the heavens, Canaan, tells those who were too young to remember the splendid opportunity of the Israelites at Kadsharnahe, the sad event in their history, and as he rehearses it we can imagine we hear his vote trembling as he says: "And then we came to Kadsharnahe." For to Moses the shepherd of that place was but another name. The famous beauties of the world are wise when they leave no portraits of themselves. Take Marguerite of Valois. She was an immoral, dishonorable, criminal, scheming, unscrupulous villainess, but she was dowered with such charm that there was not a jaller or an enemy she could not charm when she tried. No, nor a woman—not even the wives of her lovers. Men came from every country, taking very long tourners) only to see her, for, "irvocable," "disappointment," "might have been," and the weary marces of 40 years had printed in the sand of the desert "Opportunity and unbelief equals forfeiture of rest." The place of the brightest promise now becomes the place of the most sollen warnings, the place of happy hopes—the place of painful despair, the threshold of rest becomes the portals of restlessness. "And we came to Ka-desh-barnarah." With what? the Caleb Colson obsession, the unbelief of generation? If we come with the former, we will gain a Canaan; if with the latter, a wilderness. CLAIMING SOMETHING AS YOUR OWN, FINDING IT, IMPROV- ING IT. To locate a claim! Why, that's what life is!: Claiming something as your own, finding out exactly where it is, then going to work on it to improve it. Many a boy begins to locate his claim before he is in the high school. We say he has a "bent" toward this or that. He has literary tastes. His claim is the world of books. Or he has mechanical genius. Another has an ability to speak easily standing on his feet. His claim is the world of speech and oratory, persuasion in the courts for the sake of justice, or in the pulpit for human uplift. These are great claims, and it's a splendid thing to feel that one is naturally drawn to some one of these large lines of activity. If he has this "bent" early in life, and is conscious of it, he is saved much hunting in the dark to "find a job." and he wards off that bad state of mind when one must wonder what he is really going to do to make an honest living. For pay our way we all surely must. That great man, Thomas Carlyle, said: "Blessed is he who has found his work. Let him ask no other blessedness." Which is as much as to say, Blessed is he who has located his claim. I know a man today who is over fifty years old who has gone to farming in the last two years. He is struggling very hard, and I admire him for that, but it is such a hard struggle that I am sorry for him. I know he can never be a successful farmer, because he put off beginning until too late. He didn't locate his claim early enough. The men who have helped the world most are those who have worked long at one thing, even though they might play at many smaller things. And the only way to work long at a thing is to begin early. George Washington became leader of the American army because, many years before, he located that claim by hard service in the French and Indian war. I once saw a small boy running down the hill to the ferry, going across the river. But he was just too late. "Well, my boy," I said, "it's too bad; you didn't run fast enough." "Oh, yes, I ran fast enough," he said, "but I didn't start soon enough." He was a wise boy. To locate your claim, start soon. It's better than running fast—George L. Parker in St. Nicholas. THE LORD'S PRAYER. By Miss Grace B. Berry. Our—gracile Lord who lives and reigns on high. Father—of all, beyond exalted skies. Who art in Heaven—and earth forever the same. Hallowed be—thy blessed Holy Name. Thy name shall ring o'er land from sife to shore. Thy kingdom shall be sought for evermore. Come gracious Lord with all thy Heavenly power. Thy will be done on earth each coming hour. As 'tis around thy holy righteous throne. In Heaven which splendor here was never known. This day our sins beyond all years to come. Our daily bread like Heavenly manna na send. And grant us peace with these our brethren. Forgive us every vain and idle thought. Our trespasses on. Lord. remember not; As we forgive will thou forgive the same. Those who trespass against us. In Jesus' name. Lead us forever by thy side. Not into temptation may we ever abide. But deliver us when weakened by earth's trial. From evil when we're tempted to denial. For thine is, the world and all its treasure: The kingdom, the power and the glory. Forever and forever will remain, Amen and evermore the same. SALTED RAILWAY SLEEPERS. Railway sleepers used in south Russia are salted for preservation. The discovery of the efficacy of salt for the purpose was made accidentally some twenty-five years ago. The telegraph poles of Sebastopol soda rotted below the ground, and one of the staff tried the experiment of putting a pool of salt into the hole prepared for reception of the base pole. The wood lasted as long as usual, and the experiment was repeated extended to railway sleepers. Crude sea salt, such as is recovered from the Crimean coast, is used. and went away after a little glimpse, saying they had "seen loveliness itself." Then one sees her porrata. Too much forehead, not enough eyebrow, a straight nose and expressive mouth (in one picture a lovely mouth)—and that is all. Mary, queen of Scotts, was very lovely—three kings battled because of her beauty—and yet her pictures leave one cold. Fouche said her portrait showed every trait of the lowest criminal type. That was before he knew whose picture he criticised—London Truth. BETHEL A. M. B. CHURCH, Jorner Wiley avenue and Elm street Sunday services 10:30 A. M. and 1:45 P. M. Sunday School, 12:45 P. M.

Icelandera Gloves In so cold a climate as feeland the glove must be put off on or as rabidly and easily as possible; so it is made without fingers, and in order that no time may be wasted in distinguishing between right and left all gloves have two thumbs. You simply thrust your hand into the first globe, and now and forever, and absolutely finds it. There are, of course, drawbacks in the matter of appearance, for the dangling idle thumb looks untidy.—London Chronicle. Drinking Water for Health The doctors, assert that a certain quantity of water should be taken daily, a plant and a half is the very least that should be drunk. Yet there are some people who never drink water at all. A woman whose complexion is the envy of all men on the campus she sees has thirteen glasses of pure water a day between meals, and attributes her beauty to this cause, and also that she always sleeps with her bedroom window wide open.

Down in New Orleans from which reports have been coming of the activities of the Roman Catholics among the colored people of that great old Creole city, is where one might look with profit and interest for the history of the Roman Catholic church in this country and the interest of that organization in the colored people New Orleans, with all the evidences of the American spirit which the stranger might notice, still retains and clings with wonderful tenacity to the traditions and customs-of its earliest days in matters of religion, and the Roman Catholics are there today as yore in large numbers. When it was under French denomination it was Roman Catholic and when it passed over into the hands of the Spanishate its people still largely continued to adhere to the teachings of the Roman Catholic church. The domination of the Americans has not changed the Catholicity of its people and the stranger would perhaps wonder when he would hear of the large number, of colored people that are Roman Catholics, but wonder or not, it is evident that many of our people are of that faith and are sticking to it as faithfully as even New Orleans used to be a great quadron, mulatto and octopus center. It was in New Orleans that so many of those famous quadron balls were given in the years long before the Civil war; where duels used to be fought under the oaks about some quadron girl; where the Roman Catholic church in order to break up the source of degradation began in a quiet way to lay the foundation for an institution which would through its instrumentalities reveal to the thoughtless the fearful amount of immorality rampant in the city. It was while there was so much of this unsavory glory on all hand that, like a star of promise and hope for the future of the colored race, the Sisterhood of the Holy Family came calmly and serenely into existence and began its holy work of rescue. The condition of affairs which no state laws could regulate or prevent was taken into hand by the archbishops of New Orleans and as early as in 1835 the pastor of the St. Louis cathedral suggested what he believed would be a remedy for evils. He had among his penitents three plums colored women who were slaves. One was a quadron, another a griffe and the third a mullattress, representing the various grades of the evolution of the race from the African proper. These women, reared carefully in Christian households by plous masters and mistresses, felt the degradation in which women of the race were being dragged and when the good pastor of the cathedral asked the young women if they had faith enough in their religion to go and prepare themselves to work to save the souls of their weaker people; they were just too tender to consent. Freedom was obtained for them; they were taken to France and placed in the probation of the Marinates of Holy Cross at Arles to study and to serve a probation as novices. For seven years these three young women remained at Arles at the expense of course of the Catholic church, where they were thoroughly equipped for future Christian service. On returning to New Orleans a religious community was founded with them as sisters and the community named the "Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family," the members of which take the solemn pledge to devote themselves forever to the Christian education of young girls. It was 1842 when they returned to New Orleans from France and from that time to this there has been no lack of evidence of the good work the Catholic church has been doing for the colored race through that community alone. The Convent of the Holy Family stands on the very spot where the famous quadron ballroom stood. Adjoining the convent in the St. John Berchman's asylum, which stands right where the old Orleans theater used to stand. This same community had in its charge the St. Bernard's Home for Old and Infirm Negro Women. But it would make this article too long to name all the activities which have sprung from this community of sisters alone. ITEMS FROM THE ODD. A new town near Galveston, Tex. is to be built entirely of concrete houses, molded on the spot by the use of steel forms constructed in sections. The population of the Russian empire has increased 33,000,000 in the last 13 years, or 3,000,000 more than the United States grew in the last twenty. The Russian government has contracted for a kerosene engine propelled boat for the transportation of cholera patients from infected districts to hospitals. A simple truck, supported by a wide roller instead of small wheels, with which one man can pick up and move a piano, is the invention of a Wisconsin man. A class was reciting in a school, "Who can give me," said the teacher, "a sentence in which the words 'bitter end' are used?" "I jumped a little girl excitedly. I can, teacher. The cat ran after the bureau and the dog ran after her and bit heg end." IDEA OF FREEDOM. There is what I call the American idea. This idea demands as the proximate organization thereof, a democracy—that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course a government of the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God. For shortness's sake I will call it the idea of freedom—Theodore Parker. The good that is done you, treasure it more than gifts of gold.

Study your boy; watch his development from early childhood; give him every opportunity to show what there is in him by furnishing plenty of wholesome work and strentuous play. Teach him to work persistently and with a purpose. Pay him reasonably for what he does and train him to have. Put-him through the grammar school by all means and the higher schools if you can. Allow for a period of indifference to the business of the world, and also expect him to show more or less variableness and turning-side in the choice of a vocation. Do not force or resist him to the point of straining the close tie of friendship and affection existing between him and yourself. Await with patience the awakening of his best vocational aspiration, indicating all the while your belief that such an event will certainly come to pass. And sometime may you have the exceeding great joy of knowing how much worth while it has all been!—The Delineator. Choice Between Two Evils.

(Continued From Page 1. the Caucasian, not from religion, but from Christianity or Christ life, and in many other ways which can be referred to at another time. All signs are pointing toward a not very distant day when the history of races and nations will again repeat itself. God awaits our preparedness and that true and comprehensive preparedness can be produced only by an organized, united and systematic effort to elevate the mental, moral and spiritual status of the race, not only before the world, but before God, for the builders of the human temple of modern civilization are rejecting the race that is destined to become the chief-corner stone. Therefore, my friends, let us begin to prepare our world for that future, which in the world's history and civilization by organizing a "National Home Culture League," a "State Home Culture League," and local branches of state home culture leagues throughout this city, state and country having as its object: On the statement of the plan and purposes of proposed "Home Culture League," we have received written endorsements from the following pastors of churches: Rev. Dr. Chas. J, Powell, pastor Eidul Evidence A. E. Church, pastor Dr. J. W. Carter, pass to Mr. Warren Baptist Church; Rev. Dr. V. A. Virgil, pastor Warren M. E. Church; Dev. Dr. H. W. Childs, pastor Calvary Baptist Church; Rev. Dr. R. H. Morris, pastor Brown Chapel A. M. E. Church, and Rev. Dr. W. L. Lee, pastor John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. We herewith publish the letters of Dr. Brown and Dr. Virgil because of the fact that they treat the statement of the needs and purposes of the proposed "Home Culture League" at greater length. We have also arranged with Rev. Dr. Brown of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, for a few brief remarks to his large and interesting congregation just before the morning sermon next Sunday. Pittsburg, Pa. April 1, 1911. Mr. Bingham Lee. 5179 Kirkwood Street. City. I have carefully read the statement of your plan to form a "Home Culture Afro-Americans, the object of which I understand to be about as follows: To promote, refinement and economy; to inculcate the principles of true friendship and fidelity; to encourage the patronage of our own professional and business men; to give to our own businessmen the opportunity to impart to them full and correct information concerning the orisha and manifest destiny of the Negro Race; to suppress race prejudice by making our concerted influence felt against the usual newspaper misrepresentations and the discriminations usually shown in courts of justice; and to defend human rights and human rights, in the realization of these objects are fundamental in all efforts ar human uplift, and form-an essential part of the work of every minister of the Gospel, as well as that of every sociological worker and reformer amongst. Your plan to make them effective in their course upon the race is to mind practical and constructively easy of accomplishment, therefore form a commendation. By your personal knowledge to your character as an uplift citizen and devout Christian; my abiding, faith in the feasibility of your excellent plan; THE COURIER. my deep and unfaltering devotion to the true welfare of my people and my earnest desire and determination to them in inevitable advantage to them in every possible way, impel me not only to commend this movement of the "Home Culture League" to the consideration of all our thinking men and women, but also to pledge my own identification with its destiny and to give my service unstintedly in support of the cause. Very sincerely yours. CHAS. J. POWELL. My Dear Sir: I was glad to be made acquainted with your plan for the uplift of members of our race: such views of race-life is sure to give the most perfect training to you, now among us and those who shall come after. It is strange and I am not mistaken that at that it is, when we must be prepared to something that will have an assurance of success, not only for the day in which we live but for years to come, for under the present trend of things the race is sure to die out on lines of true race identity. The express in the formation of the "National Home Culture League," are all clear and practical to all who would wish to do something for the permanent training of members of our race. If we expect to have a race of people that will be in demand in the years to come, we should their training in the proper channel for service. The question of Home Culture does not only prove to be in need here but is a subject of vital importance in all the country. Some years ago the attention of the world was called to the condition of the Negro South, but within the last 15 years the South has come north and West and the department of our people has become the same everywhere; so I am glad to be associated with you in what I can to make conditions better for us everywhere. I am yours truly. S. A. VIRGIL. The foregoing cannot be construed to mean that we have lost confidence in our many friends of the Caucasian race nor that we are against it. Possessing salvation and q knowledge of the Power of God unto salvation, we could not so far err from the Truth. We are not undertaking, in any sense, to forestall the Christianizing influence of the churches, but, on the contrary, it is by the power of grace of God, to be a perpetuated effort to harmonize and centralize all the diverging Christian influences and influences into one grand federation of hearts and minds against all prejudice based solely off color, and an effort to marshall the hosts of God's elect—those who have on the sword of the spirit, the breastplate of Righteousness and are shod with the preparation of the Gospel in a centralized effort against the underlying causes of prejudice and form of corruption, vice and immorality. This declaration, statement and appeal, and your disposition of it, my friends will stand in judgment for or against you and every man and woman who possesses sufficient race pride and progenitiveness to bring into his or her home this valuable publication of the Christian source of information and, thus having access to this issue. It is not a business venture-but an effort to enlist co-operation and support in the establishment of "Home Culture," a monthly periodical, through which we may inaugurate a movement for heart and mind culture and a home culture league will naturally result and be able to apply the unapplied powers within our own race and to unlock the latent powers now hidden and dormant within us. No one person can be expected to accomplish this great work alone and we are therefore inaccurately stating that 600 persons who are willing to cast one dollar's worth of bread upon the waters. As soon as $600 has been raised we will begin the publication of "Home Culture" through which we shall undertake to prepare the way for the organization of the "Home Culture League" by bringing Home Culture leaders and students where such influences and agencies are so much needed. We, recognize the fact that everything we have and are and can be cometh from God and that the greatest legacy we can treasure up for our children is a righteous life justly and judiciously spent looking well to the training and culture of their hearts and minds. Who will, therefore, be the first to contribute to the larger religious salvation of temporal and religious salvation for our race? All contributors will please send contribution, name and address to "Home Culture, 5719 Kirkwood street, East End, Pittsburgh, Pa., and the same will be published in these columns. MONESSEN, PA.

MONEY MADE ON INVESTMENTS The RED OAK, COAL, COMPANY, Inc., is offering to the colored people of the Pittsburgh District an unparalleled opportunity to purchase stock at a low figure in a company that has made good, and is making large dividends for its stockholders. This company is organized for the purpose of mining and operating coal mines. It is at present operating two mines at BELLE VERNON, PA, with a large out-put every day. The design being to put the stock of the company within reach of all persons of small means. The stock per shape is $50.00 but persons who are unable to pay the whole amount when joining are allowed special terms to suit the investor. This is an excellent opportunity for persons to invest in home industries and place their money in a community, with which they are familiar and where they can see and know just how the money is being invested and expended. It has been demonstrated that coal, particularly in this section, is an extremely profitable investment; immense fortunes have been made in this community by operating coal mines and the buying and selling of coal. This is an opportunity for our people in a purely business way and by small investments to get quick and good returns for their money invested.
