New Howard Theater the Boone of a Most Brilliant Array of Noted Stage Folk, Educators and Leading Citizens, Who Plan to Exect Monument to the Lata George Walker. BY OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington—Strange as it may sound, yet it is true that one of the most stubborn obstacles that the Negro in music and drama has had to overcome was a strongly entrenched prejudice against Negro professional stage people that dominated the cultured and refined members of his own race. But the Negro artists in music and drama have now at last the "heart and hand" of the better class of their own people. A most striking illustration of this fact was demonstrated recently when the Hackley-Coleridge-Taylor-Dunn-Aldridge-Walker-Cole. Dramatic club of this city presented for two nights at the new Howard theater a most remarkable and historic musical and dramatic entertainment which was participated in by some of the most celebrated colored artists. The entertainment, which drew crowded houses both nights, was called "the George Walker memorial," and the proceeds are to be applied to a fund to erect a suitable monument to AIDA OVERTON WALKER the late George Walker, "America's greatest straight comedian and most successful pioneer of the Negro profession." On the stage as participants were the leading colored professional artists in music and drama as well as leaders in education, in the professions and in other high walks of life. There was Aida Overton Walker, the foremost colored woman on the American stage today. There was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, noted lecturer and educator, schooled in the best universities of America and Europe, and J. Romond Johnson, celebrated musical composer, partner in the well known Cole and Johnson team. Mrs. A. M. Curtis, famed as the head directress of the exhibit at the Jamestown exposition, wife of Dr. A. M. Curtis, the noted surgeon, who is president of the National Medical association; Mrs. Robert H. Pelham, former director of music in Howard university, the wife of Robert H. Pelham, newspaper man and census official; Tutt and Whitney, clever comedians who have starred together and won national fame; Clarence Cameron White, famous concert violinist, who has studied the "king of instruments" under masters in this country and abroad; Andrew Tribble, known far and wide as the Negro Julian Ettinger, Troy, the sweet tenor; Guy, who gives promise of being a tragedian, and many others. Never before had such a brilliant array of professional amateur and non-professional talent been presented to an audience at the nation's capital. And the chief credit goes to young R. G. Doggett, a junior college student in Howard university. He is president of the club, under whose auspices the memorial was got up. It was his mind that conceived the mammoth project. The program was indeed unique and intensely interesting. The progress of the Negro on the stage was emphasized not only in the remarks of the speakers, but by the splendid performances of the professional and amateur artists. The program in detail was as follows: Remarks by the president of the club, R. G. Doggett; introduction of Mrs. Terrell by Mrs. Robert Pelham; "George W. the man," Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Part 2—One act playlet by R. G. Doggett, Aida O. Walker, Mrs. A. M. Curtis and Mrs. Robert Pelham, "Evolution of Negro Musician" cast: Heston, Mrs. A. M. Curtis, proctored by the Joel W.

The Lyrio orchestra was conducted for this special occasion by Mr. James Reese Europe, president and conductor of the famous Symphony orchestra of New York city. With the funds they have already secured and with the funds that will come through the contribution of those interested this club not only proposes to erect a monument to the late comedian, but also to have two paintings of Walker made by a noted colored artist in Paris—one of the paintings to be of Walker in street dress, which will be hung in the new Carnegie library at Howard university; the other to be of Walker in his celebrated pose as "Bonbon Buddy, the Chocolate Drop," which will be presented to the Frogs' club, the famous meeting place of colored-professional stage people in New York city. Beginning of the Negro on the Stage What may be termed the renal- sance of the Negro stage began with the phenomenal success of Williams and Walker in the production of "In Dahomey" about eight years ago. Since that remarkable company made decided "hits" playing to the aristocra- cy of this country and the king and queen and the royalty in general of England the Negro on the American stage has made great progress. "In Dahomey," "Abyasinin" and "Bandana Land" the great plays of the great Williams-Walker company are but milestones that mark the progress of the black artists. Young Negroes of a high degree of intelligence, some of college training. J. ROSAMOND JOHNSON. have given serious thought and study to the stage, thereby producing first class performers as well as creditable dramatic writers. In music the professional Negro has also brought a large measure of intelligence and industry to his work. The leading professional Negro musicians have studied under celebrated masters, some of them having finished their musical education abroad under the direction of the old world masters. Anniversary of Westminster Lodge. The twenty-seventh anniversary celebration of Westminster-lodge, No. 2408. Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, in Providence, R.

Solomon was guest of honor. J. D. MAHONEY OF AVERY TRADE SCHOOL SUED FOR Jos. D. Mahoney, head of the Avery Trade, school, has been sued for $10,000 damages by one Miss Christians Duckett, who alleges in her statement filed in Court that Mr. Mahoney slan dered her. The following words, she alleges, were uttered by Mr. Mahoney for the purpose of injuring her. She declares: "That on the 9th day of March, 1911, and in the presence of divers persons, Mr. Mahoney said:— "That Christians Duckett was suspended from Training School at Avery Hospital because she met men on HOT LETTER RECEIVED From Avery Training School Graduate Detailing Treatment By Superintendent Mahoney. Concerning my trouble while in Avery, I shall be only too glad to explain. I first learned of the school through an advertisement in a colored magazine. Mother insisted upon me writing for a catalogue, but at that time, 1905, I was still in public school. In the latter part of 1908 I decided to discontinue my studies in Clayton Williams University. I wrote for another catalogue from Avery, thinking I would prefer a course in dressmaking, but after I saw where they gave nurse training, I decided to take that course. Mr. Mahoney told me I could enter the institution at $11 per month or it I wished to wait the dining room table at each meal, I could enter for $6 per month. Mother wasn't willing for me to work and decided to pay the $11. He wrote to me regularly every week from December, 1908, to March, 1909. I then wrote and told him that I would not be ready to enter until the next term. The latter part of August, 1909, I received another letter from him asking me to be ready to enter when the school opened for the term '09-'10. I promised to be ready but found '09' impossible to do so. About two weeks after the school opened I received another letter stating I must come at once because he was holding the class back for me. I went there September 24 and found that he had not even made the schedule for the year, and he had sent the other girls application blanks and none were paying anything. I was really surprised at everything in the place after I got there. Not until after I went there I know that the hospital was unconnected with the school. He didn't say anything to me about having to stay there until September until the Sunday previous to my graduation, when he spoke to my head nurse about it and she told me. After I graduated I came back to the school and found my diploma not signed. The next day Mr. Mahoney told me in the presence of my sister to bring it to the office and he would put the seal on it. The same day he denied his statement and said I would have to stay four weeks for the time I was with my sister last October. I told him I didn't understand how he could keep me there after the school had closed and I had successfully passed my examinations and graduated. He then denied saying that and said I would have to stay until September. I told him I would not because I had not signed anything and I came there with the understanding to stay ten months as any other student in the school. Had he explained to me just what I would be expected to do would have been willing in the hospital to take my place he lied to me and tried to force me to stay. (Signed) KATIE WILSON.

Many persons, unlike the average vacation traveler, find it necessary to combine a short quest for health with their pleasure. To these no better results can be obtained near at home than at the health resort, to which those who have taken the baths, the mineral waters and the message treatment are ever ready to attest to their benefits. The praises of the virtues of the waters of Mt. Clemens have been sung long and far and wide, for here scores have come limping and twisted with pain and left in a few weeks ed vigor. Possibly the great attraction at this center of renewed health is the many facilities for amusement which rob it of its aspect as a place of cures only. At other places which boast remarkable cures there is a plaintive atmosphere—an air of allment where one confides in his and her neighbor, as the chief topic of conversation, a detailed account of ills. At Mt. Clemens the spirit is effercent and the thoughts are led from the more serious to the lighter sides of things while the minerals are working their beneficent results. See ad in this paper.

The man who didn't get drunk every day or two was regarded as queer. The Greeks were moderate drinkers until they began to copy the luxury of the Persian feasts. The Romans imitated the Greeks. Then the whole world went on a mad drunk. It was a saturnalia. Caligula owes his niche in the hall of fame to the drunken banquets with which he made even Rome marvel. The excesses made fashionable by such potentates as Lucullus, Nero, Verres, Tiberius, Caligula, Vitellus, and Domitian really began in the days of Pompey and they mark the beginning of the end of the republic. at STEIN'S Today ie Ave. See Page Five SUMMER PRIZE OF DOLLARS IN GOLD ember 1st, 1911 to School Bay or Girl st Number of these coupons. to Courier With Name and Address CAPITAL OF NATION POLITICAL AND SOCIAL NEWS The Vermont Avenue Baptist church, formerly pastored by the late Rev. George W. Lee, a noted divine, is just now in the lime light. A few days ago six members of the church filed an injunction suit against the installation of the new pastor, alleging that he was not properly elected. Referring to the matter, Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, one of the attorneys for the defendant, declared that Rev. Willis was fairly and honestly elected on June 9, and furthermore that the opposition arose through some of the present officials of the church that they would lose their or hold the new regime. Lawyer W. L. Pollard, attorney for the injunctionists, says: The persons who voted for Rev. William A. Taylor for pastor, are not determined to put him in the church by any fraudulent means. In their proceedings in court they have only asked for a just management of the affairs of the church. The case will come before Justice Gould June 30. A group of distinguished members of the Baptist church representing many nations, called on President Taft at the White House Monday afternoon. They carried the president the greetings and good wishes of the great convention of the World's Baptist Alliance, which has just closed Philadelphia. Register of the Treasury, James O. Napier, delivered the principal address at the commencement exercises of the Baltimore Colored High school, in that city, Friday night. It was replete with good sense and well received by the vast audience. The alumni medal was awarded to Brendan Ray Briggs. Prof. J. L. Wiley, president of the Fessenden Academy, near Coca, Fla., was in the city last week to see the president. He came as a candidate for the Haitian mission, but arrived a day after it was given out at the White House that Minister Furniss would remain at his post. Prof. Wiley had enough endorsements to get him an appointment as a member of the cabinet. In his speech at Providence, R. L. Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, said: "My apprehension is that the first effect of the recall will be, to discourage competent men, even more than now is the case, from serving the public." Brown University conferred upon Secretary Nagel, the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. The Amphlon Glee club, the crack musical society of Washington, has received flattering offers to produce the "Pirates of Penzance," at Atlantic City and other seaside resorts during the summer. Prof. L. B. Moore, Dean of the Teachers' College of Howard University, has returned from a very successful lecture tour. Prof. Neval M. Thomas of the M Street High school, sailed Thursday for Egypt and the Holy Land. He will return in October. Miss Allie Simms and Miss Mamie Hutt of St. Louis, Mo., were in the city Sunday. They left in the evening for Baltimore where they were joined by Miss Maude L. Brown and the trio will make a three months tour of Europe. The ladies are all teachers. Love seems to be luring the public school teachers. More than two score weddings have taken place or are to occur soon. If many more resignations come in the district officials will have trouble in obtaining competent instructors. Brigadier General Leonard Wood, Chief of staff, U. S. A., and Rear Admiral J. J. Kane, retired, in stirring sprites delivered before the Army and Navy Union at Washington Barracks, last night, gave their hearers to understand that the fiercest struggle of history is imminent and intimated that the invader will come from among the Aslantic people. The place of meeting of the next Republican National Convention will be decided by the Republican National Committee at the meeting to be held in this city in December. The general opinion among the well informed politicians is that Chicago will carry off the prize. Qualifications Which Each Should Possess—Wanamaker as Example By ALBON L HOLSEY. Every business must have a head or executive department, which should embody three things—viz. ability to purchase, knowledge of salesmanship and knowledge of advertising. No successful business is complete without the three, and yet we rarely see a person capable of doing all three creditably. Perhaps John Wanamaker is the most acceptable example of the happy combination, and he is the originator of a certain style of advertising. A man who is skillful in the purchase of raw materials for his factory or of goods for his retail store and is a good salesman will "make a living" in any business. Many colored business men whom we call successful are merely the "making a good living" kind. These men are in the main satisfied to drift along in this manner when if they would add an equal amount of advertising with the same care and judgment their business would in most cases double itself in a few years and give employment to twice as many persons. BANNER YEAR FOR BAPTISTS. New England Convention Moves Forward by Loops and Bounds. PLANS TO ENLARGE TERMINARY Providence Meeting of Great Missionary and Educational Organization Growned With Delegates—Forward Movement For Big Financial Campaign Planned. By N. BARNETT DOSSON Baptist missionary convention, which closed its thirty-seventh annual meeting in the Congdon Street Baptist church, this city, with a splendid reception to the delegates on Monday evening, June 18 was one of the most successful events in its long and useful career. Every session of the convention during the six days was largely attended, and there were delegates from as far north as Canada. The jurisdiction of the organization extends from Washington northward throughout the New England states. Rev. William A. Credit, LL. D. of Philadelphia, president of the convention, presided. The address of welcome on behalf of the Congdon street church was delivered with much force and earnestness by Deacon E. S. Patera. Mayor Henry Fletcher delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city in a characteristic vein which made the audience bristle with enthusiasm. The mayor's welcome was responded to by the Rev. Samuel J. Comfort, D. D. of Boston. After the annual sermon, which was preached by the Rev. Granville Hunt of Mount Vernon, N. Y., President Credit delivered his annual address, which for logic, forethought, optimism and encouragement to the delegates assembled may be truthfully and rightfully designated as a code of ethics REV. DR. W. A. HARBOA worthy of the man whom the convention has elected for the third time as its leader and presiding officer. The officers elected for the ensuing year were installed by the Rev. William M. Moan, D. D., pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn. They are W. A. Craffitt, LL. D., of Philadelphia, president; A. G. Powell, D. D., New York, vice president; W. A. Harrod, D. D., Hartford, Conn., corresponding secretary; A. Mark Harris, D. D., Jersey City, N. J., recording secretary, and Robert D. Wynn, D. D., Newark, N. J., treasurer. The convention was favored by the presence of two very distinguished visitors from abroad, who made brief but highly encouraging address. They were the Rev. William M. Hurst, who holds a pastoral charge in Leduc, England, and the Rev. William J. Harris of Hitchin, England, pastor of the old historic church founded by John Bunyan. Both are Baptists. They are delegates to the world's Baptist alliance, which concluded a week's meetings in Philadelphia on Sunday, June 25. Mrs. Joanna P. Moore was also a visitor to the convention. The memorial services for deceased pastors and members who have died during the year were presided over by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, vice president of the convention. Many touching tributes of respect were given by pastors and laymen. Prompted by the many timely suggestions contained in the president's annual address, the convention ordered the appointment of a committee of fifteen whose duty it is to plan for enlarging the scope and usefulness of the convention as so as to more fully develop that part of its territory which in the past has received but scant attention. The convention also proposes to further extend its work by raising the sum of $6,000 for home and foreign missions, education and other denominational work. This sum is to be systematically arranged and raised by apportionment among the various churches by states and territories according to the numerical strength of church membership. The ranks of the older man who have given many years of thought and labor for the advancement of the convention are rapidly thinning out, and their plans are being slowly by young men who have learned much from the witness of the convocation which who, counsel they have been assembled within the church. Among them who were invited the invitation of the work thru seven years ago only two live. They are the Rev. R. M. Moore B. of Philadelphia, D. B. and B. pastor B. of Newark, N. J. Upholst who have served in official capacities for upward of a quarter of a century are the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Wynn of Newark, N. J. who has held the highest and trumped presence of the convocation for twenty-two years. Dr. Wynn has been entirely successful as a pastor. He was pastor of the Abrahams Baptist church in New York for eleven years. In his present charge, Mervark, N. J. he has had impounded success. He is still male and hearty, a good gospel preacher and a man of large influence in the community in which he resides. Then there in the Rev. Dr. L. J. Brown pastor of the Berean Baptist church in Brooklyn for twenty years. Rev. W. N. Morton, N. H. Jeter and a few others have pastored in one place for a score of years. Many of the young pastors have made brilliant records within the past decade. Rev. John Q. Lowe, pastor of the Union Baptist church, in Monckclark, N. J., celebrated the twelfth anniversary of his passionate recount with the following record of achievements: Membership, increased from 162 to 682; collected from April, 1899, to April, 1911, 383,444.87; paid the remaining debt on the church property and made many improvements along other lines. He is an elegant preacher, splendid financier, good leader and great organiser for racial upift. The Sunday school department holds its convention previous to the session of the general body and made a most encouraging showing in number, finance, education and mission work. It donated $50 to Virginia Union university, $25 to Virginia seminary and college, $25 to the National Training School for Women and Girls, $25 to the Downingstown Industrial school and smaller sums for other purposes. The officers of the convention and members of the board of managers are: N. Barnett Dodson, Brooklyn, president; G. W. Long, Providence, president; G. W. Long, Providence, L. vice president; Miss R. G. Ban dolph, New York, recording secretary; Miss Nettie A. Smith, Providence, L. L. corresponding secretary, and Rev. A. G. Powell, New York, treasurer. The literary program of the various seminars was replete with helpful suggestions for the future betterment of the work. The address by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, subject "The Sunday School at Its Best," the music furnished by the Coagdon street school and a highly pleasing soprano solo by Mrs. Lucy Hensen, wife of Mr. Matt Hensen of north pole fame, were among the leading features of the session. The woman's auxiliary convention elected and installed the following officers: President, Mrs. B. Holland, Providence; vice president, M. A. W. Beay, Brooklyn; recording secretary, Miss M. J. Holt, New Jersey; corresponding secretary, M. M. J. Glencoe, Providence; treasurer, Mrs. A. Harris, Brooklyn. Mrs. Renss represented Massachusetts on the board of managers. The auxiliary voted $156 toward the general work of the convention. Rev. W. A. Harrod, corresponding secretary of the New England Baptist missionary convention, is one of the best informed officials of the organization as to its records, needs and future possibilities. His services are highly appreciated. He is a successful pastor, the school and A. Baptist of the old school. Rev. A. Mark Harris records the details of the convention with care and accuracy.

She is not Mrs. Wilson. It seems that that honor belonged at one time to Mrs Knowles. I believe such things are not unknown in New York, only why in the name of sense does a man want to divorce a woman and then meet her at rays'clock in the morning to kiss the place where his own wedding ring used to rest." Jim fidgeted. Bella was having speeches of mirth to herself, but the Harbison man did not smile. He stood for a moment looking at the fire: Then he thrust his hands deep into the pockets of his dressing-gown and gritted over to me. He did not care that the others were watching and listening. "Is it true?" he demanded, staring down at me. "You are not Mrs. Wilson? You are not married to all? All that about being neglected—and loathing him, and all that on the roof—there was no foundation of truth." I could only shake my head without looking up. There was no defense to make. Oh, I deserved the scorn in his voice. "They—they persuaded you, I suppose, and it was to help somebody? It was not a practical joke?" "No." I rallied a little spirit at that. It had been anything but a joke. He drew a long breath. "I think I understand," he said slowly, "but you could have saved me something. I must have given you all a great deal of amusement." "Oh, no." I protested. "I—I want to tell you—" But he deliberately left me and went over to the door. There he turned and looked down at Aunt Selina. He was a little white, but there was no passion in his face. "Thank you for telling me all this, Miss Caruthers," he said easily. "Now that you and I know, I'm afraid the others will miss their little diversion. Good night." Oh, it was all right for Jim to laugh and say that he was only buffed a little and would be over it by morning. I knew better. There was something queer in his face as he went out. He did not even glance in my direction. He had said very little, but he had put me as effectually in the wrong as if he had not kissed me—deliberately kissed me—that very evening, on the roof. I did not go to sleep again. I lay wretchedly thinking things over and trying to remember who Jezebel was, and toward morning I distinctly heard the knob of the door turn. I mistrusted my ears, however, and so I got up quietly and went over in the darkness. There was no sound outside, but when I put my hand on the knob I felt it move under my fingers. The counter pressure evidently alarmed whoever it was, for the knob was released and nothing more happened. But by this time anything so uncomplicated as the fumbling of a knob at night had no power to disturb me. I went back to bed. Breaking Out in a New Place Hunger roused everybody early the next morning. Friday. Lella Mercer had discovered a box of bonbons that she had forgotten, and we divided them around. Aunt Selina asked for the candied fruit and got it—quite a third of the box. We gathered in the lower hall and on the stairs and nibbled aauseing sweets while Mr. Harbison examined the telephone. He did not glance in my direction. Betty and Dal were helping him, and he seemed very cheerful. Max sat with me on the stairs. Mr. Harbison had just unscrewed the telephone box from the wall and was squinting into it, when Bella came downstairs. It was her first appearance, but as she was always late, nobody noticed. When she stopped, just above us on the stairs, however, we looked up, and she was holding to the rail and bombing personally. ```markdown ``` W "Mr. Harbison, will you—can you come upstairs?" she asked. Her voice was strained, almost reedy, and her lips were white. Mr. Harbison stared up at her, with the telephone box in his hands. "Why—er—certainly," he said, "but unless it's very important. I'd like to fix this talking machine. We want to make a food record." "I'd like to break a food record." Max put in, but Bella created a diversion by sitting down suddenly on the stair just above us, and burying her face in her handerchief. "Jim is sick," she said, with a sob. "He—he doesn't want anything to eat, and his head aches. He—said for me—to go away and let him die!" Dal dropped the hammer immediately, and Lollie Mercer sat petrified, with a bonbon half-way to her mouth. For, of course, it was unexpected, finding sentiment of any kind, known about the scene in the den in the smart hours of the morning. "Slick!" Aunt Selina said, from a hall chair. "Slick." Where? "All over." Bella quavered. "His poor head is hot, and he's thirsty, but he doesn't want anything but water." "Great Scott!" Dal said suddenly. "Suppose he should—Bella, are you telling us all his symptoms?" Bella put down her handkerchief and got up. From her position on the stairs she looked down on us with something of her old haughty manner. "If he is ill, you may blame yourselves, all of you," she said cruelly. "Do you mean—?" "You tainted him with being-fat, and laughed at him, until he stopped eating the things he should eat. And he has been exercising—on the roof, until he has worn himself up. And now—he is ill. He has a rash." "Everybody jumped at that, and we instinctively moved away from Bella. She was quite cold and scornful by that time." "A rash!" Max exclaimed. "What sort of rash?" "I did not see it," Bella said with dignity, and turning he went up the stairs. "There was a great deal of excitement, and nobody except Mr. Harbison was willing to go near Jim. He went up at once with Bella, while Max and Dal sat cravenly downstairs and wondered if we would all take it, and Anne told about a man she knew who had it, and was deaf and dumb and blind when he recovered." Mr. Harbison came down after a while, and said that the rash was there, right enough, and that Jim absolutely refused to be quarantined; that he insisted that he always got a rash from early strawberries and that WHAT MISS LIBERTY SAID Verbatim Report of Her Protest Against the Flying Machine That Whirled Around Her Head. "These queer flying machines make me so nervous," said Miss Liberty, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I don't like 'em. They haven't any right to be whirring and chugging around a lady." "I may be French, but my standing in this community has never been impeached." "The other day three of these impudent things came whirling around my head, one after the other. If I hadn't been busy holding up my torch I might have done something I'd be sorry for. Really, I never saw such a reckless disregard for common politeness. When the first of the sassy things came forward me'i just looked at me. He did I know he wouldn't stuff the nose of his flying contrivance into my ear? "I may be bronze, but I won't tolerate any familiarities." "And there's another thing. I strongly object to being made the maypole in any foolish cloud dance. Why don't they use the Metropolitan building for a center shaft? I don't want the honor—this is sarcastic—and, what's more, I will not permit any sporting gentleman misses around me. "No, indeed." "Liberty isn't license. "So there, no!" His Intelligence. Negler—You seem to have a poor opinion of Folder's intelligence. Gaymar-Yo would, too, if you knew he had an interest in the city directory three days for Ziegler's address and had got only as far as the Die. THE COURRIER. If he did have anything, since they were so touchy he hoped they would all get it. If they locked him in he would kick the door down. When the coctail came he said it was too early to tell positively, and he ordered him liquid diet and said he would be back that evening. Which—the diet—takes me back to the famine. After they had moved Jim, Mr. Harbison want back to the telephone, and found everything as it should be. So he followed the telephone wire, and the rest followed him. I did not: He had systematically ignored me all morning, after having dared to kiss me the night before. And any other man I knew, after looking at me the way he had looked a dozen times, would have been at least reasonably glad to find me free and unmarried. But it was clear that was not: I wondered if he was the kind of man who always love to the other man's wife and is like mad when she is left a widow, or gets a divorce. And just when I had decided that I hated him, and that there was one man I knew who would, never make love to a woman whom he thought married and then be very dignified and aloof when he found she wasn't. I heard what was wrong with the telephone wire. It had been cut! Cut through with a pair of silver manicure scissors from the dressing table in Bella's room, where Aunt Sellia slept! The wire had been clipped where it came into the house, just under a window, and the scissors still lay on the sill. It was mysterious enough, but no one was interested in the mystery just then. We wanted food, and wanted it at once. Mr. Harbison fixed the wire, and the first thing we did, of course, was to order something to eat. Aunt Sellia went to bed just after luncheon with indigestion, to the relief, of every one in the house. She had been most unpleasant all morning. When she found herself ill, however, she insisted on having Bella and that made trouble at once. We found Bella with her cheek against the door into Jim's room, looking maudlin while he shouted love messages to her from the other side. At first she refused to stir, but after Anne and Max had tried and failed, the rest of us went to her in a body and implored her. We said Aunt Selina was in awful shape—which she was, as to temper—and that she had thrown a mustard plaster at Anne, which was true. So Bella went, grumbling, and Jim was a maniac. We had not thought it should be so soon too, but Aunt Selina fell asleep soon after she took charge; holding Bella's hand, and slept for three hours and never let go! About two that afternoon the sun came out, and the rest of us went up to the roof. I stayed on the roof after the others had gone, and for some time I thought I was alone. After a while, I got a whiff of smoke, and then I saw Mr. Harbison far over in the corner, one foot on the parapet, moodily smoking a pipe. He was gazing out over the river, and paying no attention to me. This was natural, considering that I had hardly spoken to him all day. I would not let him drive me away, so I sat still, and it grew darker and cooler. He filled his pipe now and then, but he never looked in my direction. Finally, however, as it grew very dusk, he knocked the ashes out and came toward me. "I am going to make a request, Miss McNair," he said evenly. "Please keep off the roof after sunset. There are—reasons." I had risen and was preparing to go downstairs. "Unless I know the reasons, I refuse to do anything of the kind." I retorted. He bowed. "Then the door will be kept locked," he rejoined, and opened it for me. Hg did not follow me; but stood watching until I was down, and I heard him close the roof door firmly behind me. (TO BE CONTINUED) Paternalism with a vengeance is practised in certain New York groceries. It is benevolent paternalism though. "Ma wants two pounds of sugar," said a child to a patriarch in the trade. He consulted a calendar on the wall. "I guess you'd better take only a pound today," he said, "and go kind of slow on it, but we work only on three-fourths of your allowance. Tell your mother so." The child promised to deliver the report on financial depression. "That is the only way on earth to keep those people from running into debt." said the grocer. "The system is common in this neighborhood. I do it at the customers' request. Every pay day women with spendthrift husbands and an extravagant disposition of their own deposit enough money with the grocer and butcher to see the family through the week. They instruct us to let no one overdraw the amount and except in cases where extra food is actually needed we stick to our end of the bargain." Care of Screens Window and door screens - usually get very dusty during the latter part of the summer, and it is poor economy to put them away in that condition; neither is it a good idea to wash them just before storing unless they are most carefully dried to prevent rusting. Kerosene applied with a paint brush cleans the wires better than water, and also prefers rusting. The New Version. Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of your heirs.

Iptilation is the sincerest fattery; and the fact that so many people St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to induce "PORO" HALL GROWER in the best proof of the merits of "Poro" were the first to engage in the business of growing the hair of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our preparation which is known to be exclusive right to that name; and I alone, by myself, of the composition that bears that name. From its use in my treatments hundreds have received direct benefit. Our clients have always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "Zero" 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 allow, using mere imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire.

THE OPEN DOOR. Pittsburg Negroes are no exception to the rule that people always see more and better opportunities away from home than at home. To those who ponder the advisability of leaving home in search of educational advantages, we beg to call attention to an institution at our very doors, where an opportunity to all alike is offered the young American to cultivate the talents with which he or she is endowed we refer to the Carnegie Technical Schools. Now is the time to register for the coming Fall Term, and, there should be any number of boys and girls knocking at the door for admission. The importance of a technical education can not be overestimated especially among our race at its present stage of advancement. We must qualify to compete in every walk of life, or we shall find ourselves greatly handicapped in the struggle to rise and take our place in this rapidly advancing civilization. The cost is so small that it can be said to be within the reach of every aspirant, regardless of his or her station in life; and the Founder of the Institution has written high above its doors a broad and American Spirit, so characteristic of the man, which warrants any and all in seeking admission. Let us cease dreaming of advantages offered in other cities, but let down our buckets where we are. Ours is a rare opportunity; let us seize it while it serves. MUSIC FOR THE POOR. Through the ceaseless energies of Mayor Magee, a series of free concerts will be given in the various parks of the city during the summer season. Mr. Jacobs, who has charge of the programs to be rendered evidently overlooked one very important park, where music is rare, and sadly needed, the Washington park on Bedford avenue, where the children of the poor who are unable to pay car fare to attend the more desirable localities and parks of the city, are growing up minus the refining influence of one of the most treasured arts. The attention of Mr. Jacobs has been called to the need of a concert in the Hill district for the benefit of the poorer class, and Hon. A.C. Stein, representative from the First Legislative District, has made an appeal for an occasional concert at Washington park, where thousands of children have yet to hear the strains of an organized band. We endorse the movement; and take the liberty to add that a committee be appointed to investigate and ascertain why a concert cannot be given for those less fortunate than the audiences that throng Hiland and Schenley parks. GET READY TO VOTE. Once again we approach another primary election which is to be held in the early fall. It is common knowledge that all men must register before they can hope to vote; and the Courier takes this opportunity to call attention to the necessity of getting registered and thus prepare to cast our ballot in the fall, when men, who are to guide our local affairs, are to be placed in nomination. Men or every type will be asking for our political support, and ours is the duty to welg well the merits of the candidate before we give him our vote. We must learn more of the man than has been our custom; we must know his past record as well as what he promises to do in the event of his election; we must ascertain whether we are supporting an enemy or a friend. If our franchise means anything to us as a race, it means a consideration in return, and one of substance and not of the shadow. Red fire and a brass band have been relegated to the rear, and something which savours of a real political representation is demanded instead. But it must not be forgotten that we can not expect more than our political worth, and that is measured by the numerical strength of our ballot. A SUGGESTION. At the annual picnic given by the Young Men's Tariff club at Keystone park last Thursday, there was one selection on the program of sports which might well have been eliminated, "The Battle Royal." The manly art is encouraged in this country as much as in any on the globe; but we fall to see anything of the manly art exhibited in the Battle Royal. Four ignorant Negroes were put into a ring, and actually forced to knock and cuff each other around the ring until they dropped as the result of an unexpected blow or from exhaustion. Take away what human intelligence they had, and the affair amounted to nothing less than a bull fight, or a cock fight, both held to be a criminal offense in this state. We expect to be elevated and not degraded by the race that sets for us our limitations. The Courier is not in favor of the Battle Royal. LOCAL NEWS Miss Ruth Virginia Bransom of Avalon, graduated June 16, from Avalon Public school. She was the first colored graduate from the Avalon grade school.

Her voice was as refreshing as ever and like good wine segms to grow in sweetness and volume with age unlike most singers. Madame Hackley is able to accompany herself in her selections and that is an art in itself charmingly she does it the awkwardness usually with such efforts is absent in her work. Just before the hour for this brilliant musical affair the weather changed suddenly and the very heavens seemed to open up, bringing on a severe rain storm which no doubt kept many from attending, yet on the whole it was well attended. Madame Hackley leaves us with best wishes for her on her way and that she may have success beyond her most anguine hopes. --- SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1911. Fifth Avenue PITTSBURG, PA.

SUMMER ON A HOUSEBOAT Vessels In a Colony Out In Oregon Have the Conveniences of a City Flat. Houseboating on the Willamette river is the proper way for the people of Portland, Ore., to spend their summers, according to a writer in Suburban Life. He says that there is an entire colony of houseboats just above the city. Probably there is no similar housebut village anywhere. They possess almost all the conveniences of a city flat, the houses are lighted with electricity, city water is piped to the door, and in some cases the houses are supplied with it. he says "Telephones are installed in most of the houses, and an electric street car runs within easy reach, but just far enough away to give the colony the desired seclusion. To make it still more citified it is proposed to install gas from the city system during the present year. The finest boat in the colony cost $1,600, and is 35 by 60 feet. The average houseboat, however, is worth about one-half this sum." . - sy 2 Ce. “ THE COURIER. - ae | | * Fi 2 =F s . REV. J. T. FARLEY, S. T~D. | Popular Pastor of Wayman A. M. E.

For he had often been ‘heard to say, “This mission 1s for the Jew and Gentile, whtte and black, high and low, rich.and poor.” and it was all of these who came with sorrowing hearts to take a last look at dear “Brother Pete,” as he was-famililarly and lovingly called by all who knew him and that his life had indeed prov- ed h'm to be a “brother” was-evidenc ed in that.

The rear porch and yard were overgrowded and Wylie avenue was one dense crowd of singing humanity who stood patiently throughout the services. The funeral _ services were conducted by Revs. E. D.

C. preached the sermon frouf II Tim. 4: S—"I have fought a good fight,1 have Kept the faith, I have finished my course.” Rev.

The churches must work in unison; so must the pastors and so must all Christians. In the home, the cradle and foundation of all that makes for the betterment of mankind and future elevation of the race be gins there. Father, mother and chil- dren must “get together,” and work for the upbuilding of that home. In the business enterprise of the race, the. need of “getting together”. is much evident and yery essential if the race is to move up in the business world. Whenever you can invest a dollar or five cents with your race in any line of business or profession, do it, and don’t forget to remember the more of the race who get up at,the top of the ladder, helps you so much and gives the race that much more influence, power and respect in this country.

The sermon was full of advice to parents that you give to children that you trained for God's service, as a child is trained for the service or profession he is to enter, so should the parent train the child in the church and keep the holy objection made when the child is trained for them to train the child in the house of the Lord and in all other things a Christian ought to know and believe.

Similarly B. C. 7:47, toward the close of Isaiah's reign. the close of Henkelb's reign. PLACE-Jerusalem and vicinity. The destruction of the army was probably southwest of Judah toward Egypt. The importance of the event which forms the subject of this lesson is shown by the fact that its history is given in three books of the Bible, and probably referred to in another, occupying seven or eight chapters, besides the clay cylinder on which Sennacherib made his own record. It was a great crisis in Israel's history like the exodus, and return from captivity, a signal landmark, to teach and warn and encourage and comfort Israel in other great crises, and the nations and individuals of all times. Heskiah, although the son of a bad father (but a good mother), began his reign with a thorough and widespread reformation and revival of the true religion, even while the Assyrians were invading the Northern Kingdom. He cleansed and repaired the temple, restored the temple services, and provided for the support of the Lavites and for popular religious instruction from the books of the law, thus bringing about a great uprising against idolatry. The result was most happy. "Heskiah had exceeded much riches and honor. He was tranquil and wealthy. But one constant danger threatened Judah—the growing power of Assyria, whose overlordship Ahaz had acknowledged, against the urgent protests of Isaiah. In 701.B. C. the great invasion of Palestine was made by Sennacherib, with a double stage of Jerusalem. Sennacherib sent an army demanding the surrender of Jerusalem. He may have felt that it was a mistake to leave in his rear so powerful a fortress, while he had still to complete the overthrow of the Egyptians." The Assyrians, coming near to the walls of the city and speaking through Rabahkahh, the chief officer of Sennacherib, made the contest one between Jehovah and the Assyrian ideals, between the true religion, the one means of redeeming the world, and Hezekiah, and Isaiah, and apparently the scribes and elders, clothed in sackcloth, went into the temple and prayed from their innest souls. Note how afflictions lead to prayer. Hezekiah saw "Before him captivity, suffering, probably death, the loss of his kingdom, the extinction of his line, the exile of his people. But above all he saw the fall of true religion, the dishonor of God's name, a religious and moral loss to the world. We should pray for temporal blesses for whatever we desire, but we should never let the desire for earthly things overshadow the larger and more important spiritual interests; but rather, as in Hezekiah's case, the pressure of personal need should make more intense the desire for God's cause and kingdom. Then came a message from God through Isaiah. Hitherto in Isaiah's sage had one of warning to Judah, in order to make them so obedient to God that the relief come to them as the blessing. Now his people, the Assyrians, but also shows Judah why God comes to their help. The wonderful deliverance came when the angel of the Lord smeared of the Assyrians a hundred and four score and five thousand. Just where this occurred we do not know. But Sennacherib was marching toward Egypt. The deliverance was a deliverance of Egypt as well as of Judah. The scene may well have been near Egypt. Whether it was by a storm, or petturance, no one knows. It is remarkable that the histories of both his chief rivals in this campaign, Judah and Egypt, should contain independent reminiscences of 50 sudden and miraculous a disaster to his host. From Egyptian sources there has come down through Herodotus a story that a king of Egypt, being deserted by the military caste, when Sennaerchil, the Arabs of the Arabs and Assyrians invaded his country, entered his sanctuary and apologized for the appearance and cheered him; that he raised an army of artisans and marched to meet Sennaerchil in Pelusium; that by night a multitude of field mice ate up the quivers, bowstrings and shieldstraps of the Assyriang; and that, as these fled on the marmor, very many of them fell. A stone statue of the king adds Herodotus, stood in the temple of Hephaestus, having a mouse in the hand, so signifying the destruction and even of the plague, this story of Herodotus seems to be merely a pictureque form of a tradition that patience broke out in the Assyriang camp. There is nothing in the Bible record that contradicts the belief that the disaster occurred in the neighborhood of Pelusium and the Serbian bog in northeastern Egypt. It was a place terrible for filth and maslma. A Persian army was decimated here in the middle of the fourth century before Christ. Napoleon's army barely escaped destruction here. The amount of the Assyrian loss was enormous, and implies of course a much higher figure for the army which was vast enough to suffer it; but here are some instances for comparison. In the early German invasions of Italy whole armies and camps were swept away by the pestilential climate. The losses of the First Crusade were over 300,000. The soldiers of the Third crusade, upon the scene of Sennacherib's war, were reckoned at more than half the number of losses by the army alone at over 100,000. The army of Napoleon entered Bataille 250,000, but came out, having suffered no decisive defeat, only Thirty; on the retreat from Moscow alone 90,000 pertained. But it was under God's control and it was his salvation that saved Jerusalem. THE COURIER THE SANCTITY OF THE HOME A Sermon Thee shalt not commit adultery Frogs 20:14 The institution of marriage' has come down to us from early Biblical times. Marriage has been divinely ordained for the well-being of human society. "It is not good," the Almighty says, "that man should be alone," and he created woman to be his companion and to give him the hap; neces he cannot find within himself. The Bible unrolls a beautiful picture of the marriage relations—man and woman are to complement one another and the union of the two makes for the perfect state. The family, then, is to be the place where the two eternal streams meet and become one. The study of human records reveals that marriage is the starting point of civilization. The ethical conduct of conjugal life at once grows out of and leads up to an interpersonal relationship rooted in man's nature and the feeling of sympathy with suffering and with joy as well of affection, of rupture over the thought of identity through fellowship. Animals, too, live and increase, but in the human sense we begin to live really when we live for one another. The home fosters altrum, to live not for self alone, but also for others. The family is the foundation of the social edifice. But for its stability and well-being' neither the state nor society could exist. The relations called' forth and fostered by the family: between husband and wife, between parent and child, brother and sister, are the most sacred and most enduring in life. Without a home man is like a wanderer on the face of the earth: in the higher sense his nature remains undeveloped. The importance of prenatal and postnatal care, the scheme of diet and treatment for the development of humanity, resides in the fact that it is the simplest expression of the highest principle of morality, the principle of human fellowship. On family love rests the continuity of feeling, which, in turn, is the surest basis for continuity of spirit. Marriage, like the family, which springs from it, has underlying it a divine idea, and as a rule it is essential to the development of all that is best and noblest in human nature. It is true, there have been men and women who in a single life have exhibited rare beauty and strength of character, but the most of us require marriage to redeem us from selfishness and to develop self-acquired. The institution is, therefore, related, supremely important, and it has a great idea for its basis, an idea that is to be found in the special virtues and perfections which it is calculated to develop. That the sacredness of the marriage bond must receive homage in the mutual fidelity of husband and wife is self-evident. The elementary duty is enunciated in the seventh commandment, and in the words of Malachi: "Take heed to your spirit and let none deal treachery against the wife of his youth." These divine commandments bid us to guard the chastity of marriage, the sanctity of the home, the blessedness of the holy hold, the blessing of society, the building of mankind. Domestic peace—nay, social well-being—is founded upon reverence for the marriage vow. The sanctity of the marriage bond is the bulwark of society, alike its basis and its bond. Such being the sanctity of the marriage state, it behooves every one to enter upon it in a serious and solemn spirit. Certain conditions are essential to a happy union; where these are in part or altogether lacking marriage cannot possibly be happy. There must be, at the beginning, a good asset of physical and moral health, a kinship of souls determined by similarity of taste, a sense of mutual duties and responsibilities, an abiding sense of trust in a God who watches over the altars of his children. Marriage has always had its detractors. Men have exaggerated its shortcomings without taking into account the perennial goodness of their lives. The oft-attempted oftimes commonplace is not the fault of the institution; it is the fault of those who enter upon it if they fail to develop, within the precincts of the home, the more ideal aspect of their lives. Some are irritated by conjugal and parental bonds which place upon them obligations that they look upon as an encroachment on their freedom. They wish to follow their caprice; what they call freedom is notiling but license. It requires a certain amount of moral energy to enable one to bow to law and order, to recognize and respect institutions as essential to human well-being. Savagery has been receding since the dawn of human reason, because civilization, which is based upon a moral principle, has triumphed over the restraint. Civilization appears the moment man rises to the recognition of another self, and that recognition is fostered in the home-based upon idyllic love and obligation. We must defend the home against whatever tends to weaken it or impair its moral influence. This is not only a social and religious question, but a patriotic one as well.

The best a heaver could do was to guess at the most obvious meaning and let it go at that. In the matter of a captive moose, which belonged to Ben, the doctor followed this course. The moose was undoubtedly sick, and a veterinary had been monitored to attend him. Ben went out to the pen to assist the doctor. "Is he mortal, doc?" asked Ben, with extreme concern. "Are you asking if he is sick?" hazarded the doct. "Hure," replied Ben, "only I meant! is he soin" to die from it? "It's too soon to tell you yet," replied the doctor, "but he has pneumonia, pretty badly." Bena's eyes grew round; with surprise, Pneumonia, in his experience had been confined to humankind. "Why, does he bounce out," she moosed, "into future life, does it? You're Cummaton."

The campaign that led to the defeat of the best of the British troops under an able commander was one that was worked out to the highest degree of military sense. It contained all the elements of a drama, such as a playwright of high ability might conceive, and it was carried out with a daring and skill that, as planned, could have but one ending. General Washington and Count de Rochambeau met early in August at Weathersville, Conn., and there they talked over the plans for the future. It was almost determined to put the French and American armies together and make a concentrated attack upon the city of New York which was defended by Sir Henry Clinton, then commander-in-chief of the British forces in this country. It was intended that this attack should be in the nature of a surprise and, with this in view, the two armies were brought together at Dobb's Ferry and every preparation made to fall upon the upper part of Manhattan island. At the last minute there came dispatches from the south apprising the leaders of the American forces that Lord Cornwallis had been conducting a very spirited campaign against General Lafayette who, with Baron Steuben and Anthony Wayne, was directing the destinies of the Continentals. This news put a different light upon the situation, inasmuch as the planned campaign upon New York was for the very purpose of compelling Clinton to order Cornwallis from the south to his support in holding Manhattan island. The plans carried exceedingly well for it was evident that Clinton heard of the contemplated move against him and ordered Cornwallis to make preparations to move to him. Cornwallis therefore withdrew from the south, camped first at Portsmouth and later moved to Yorktown where he lay, prepared to sail for New York. At the same time as the news of Cornwallis' movements were reported General Washington learned that Count de Grasse, with a fleet of some thirty ships, was sailing from the West Indies, leaving San Domingo on August 3, and was bound for the Chesapeake Bay. Instantly the entire campaign was changed to meet the new conditions and while the "demonstration" against Clinton was not allowed to lax the attack was not made. Instead instructions were hurriedly sent to Lafayette to set in communication with de Grasse and, with what troops the latter could spare, to make every effort to envelop Cornwallis by land and sea. In the meantime the allied armies in front of New York withdrew as quietly as possible leaving behind only a sufficient number to keep up the pretense of investment and the troops were hurried toward Cornwallis. September 9 saw Washington under way and, accompanied by only Colonel Humphrey, he rode 60 miles to Mount Vernon, arriving there the same day. Count de Rochambeau arrived at Mount Vernon the following evening and the plans for the campaign were gone over. Meanwhile Cornwallis had received tidings of the arrival of the fleet of de Grasse, which reached Hampton Roads about August 26, and also word that the Continental army was bearing down upon him. He was quickly aroused from his dreams of security and he and his officers contemplated a number of plans for getting away but in each instance there were circumstances that forbid making the attempt and he contented himself with writing to Clinton to send him aid. Whether Clinton could not or would not comply will probably never be known, though after the war both offi- Helping Things Along.

AMERICAN INDENCE WON BY THOMAS WILSON at Yorktown, Still Standing. cers induged in accusations of each other, but the fact is thataque did not and when the allied armies sailed into the harbor of York and camped upon the adjacent hills Cornwallis was completely trapped. The story of the siege is familiar to every school boy, or at least it should be, so that I will give only the bare outlines of it. The active attack upon the British was begun October 6 by General Lincoln when he opened a parallel. Five days later Baron Steuben's division opened a second parallel. This brought the lines of the beslegers to within about 300 yards of the stronghold. While the infantry was engaged in paralleling the artillery was hard at work and the bombardment was furious. Governor Nelson's residence in the town was thought to be the headquarters of Cornwallis and the doughty governor, himself leading in the attack by the artillery, not only ordered his men to fire upon his home but offered a prize of money for every ball that struck it. Whether the house was too far or whether the marksmen were bad its not known, but the house was little damaged and it stands today, a monument among monuments to the bravery and devotion of the American and French armies. The most dramatic feature of the seige was the attempt to carry two redoubts. The task of carrying the redoubts was given to Lafayette and Baron de Vilomeni. The latter's assault proved a disastrous one, for the British put up a stiff fight and though they were beaten the attackers left fully one-third of their number in the trench. Lafayette was more successful and his troops, led by Alexander Hamilton, who was the first to scale the parapet, swept everything before them, their losses being comparatively light. The carrying of these two redoubts was the beginning of the end, for Cornwallis soon found that he could hold out no longer unless by needlessly sacrificing his men. It was with a heavy heart indeed that Cornwallis ordered a white flag to be displayed on October 17 and sent a note to Washington asking for terms of surrender. The articles of capitulation were drawn and Cornwallis was invited to meet the American officers in the Moore house and sign them. This he did and on October 19 the British army, with colors cased and drums beating, marched out of Yorktown between two lines comprised of the American and French soldiers. Washington, with his staff was at the head of his army and Rochambeau, with his staff, at the head of his. Cornwallis felt in no humor to meet the victors so he sent his alde, General O'Hara, with his sword and with the excuse that he was too ill to attend. Washington, too, stood upon his dignity and instead of himself receiving Cornwallis' sword he detailed General Lincoln to that duty. It appears that when Sir Henry Clinton finally became convinced that Cornwallis was in grave danger he decided to send help and so on October 19, the very day that Cornwallis surrendered, he sent an army of 7,000 men to him. The troops, on 35 ships, arrived at Yorktown five days later but finding that it was too late turned back to New York. Today the visitor to Yorktown may see much of interest. The battlefield has somewhat disappeared and there is but little trace of the redoubts but time has dealt gently with the old town. The same houses that figured in the tragic events of more than a century ago still stand, while the Nelson house, with a ball in one of the walls, gives testimony to having been bombarded. There may be seen a cave that is said to have been the refuge of Cornwallis during the bombardment while the beautiful marble shaft erected by the government gives the historical data concerning that which one sees in the neighborhood.

COULD NOT SEE THE FUTURE Probably Good Public Official, Rux Henry W. Ellaworth Surely Was a Mighty Poor Prophet. In one week recently the United States patent office issued 778 patents. The total number issued up to date was 994,104—in sight of the million mark. In view of these figures the following excerpt from the report of the commissioner of patents for the year 1843 is of interest as showing how widely a man, even a commissioner of patents, can miss his guess: The whole number of patents issued by the United States up to January, 1844, was 13,523. The patents granted for the past year (1843) were 531 in number, exceeding those of the previous year by 24. The advancement of the arts, from year to year, taxes our credulity and seems to presage the early arrival of that period when human improvement must end. HENRY W. ELLSWORTH, Commissioner of Patents. In 1844 there were no telegraphs, telephones, automobiles, electric lights, or motors, phonographs or air- ships.
