OUTLINE OF PLAN AND SCOPE. --- VOL. 11. NO. 32. Tremendous Effort to Reach Men and Boys All Over the United States and Canada—Noted and Influential Men in Church, State and Commercial Life Pledge Support. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The men and religion forward movement is a co-operative effort of all the religious organizations among the men and boys to make the year 1911-12 a year of special emphasis on Christian work among and by men and boys and through the special campaigns this year to bring a permanent accession of membership and working strength from among the men and boys who are at present untouched by or loosely related to the Christian church. The idea of such an aggressive campaign among men and boys has been in the thought of the church brotherhoods for REV. D. F. WHITE some time as well as in the plans of the Young Men's Christian association through its International committee Federated in this movement are the church brotherhoods of the Episcopal, Baptist, Congregational, Disciple, Lutheran, Methodist, United Brethren and Presbyterian denominations, the International Sunday School association and the international committee of the Young Men's Christian associations. The control of the movement is vested in a general committee, called the committee of ninety-seven, representing all the participating organizations and all parts of Canada and the United States. The earnestness of the effort can be judged from the fact that Mr. James C. Gannon is chairman of the committee of ninety-seven. Mr. Cannon is president of the Fourth National bank of New York, chairman of the clearing house committee of New York city and was chairman of the commission of New York bankers which ex-president Roosevelt called to Washington to consider measures for quieting the panic of 1807. To the men and religion movement Mr. Cannon is giving instigated time and represents the type of substantial Americans who are behind the movement. Among the well known members of the committee are Hon. W. J. Bryan, Hon. H. B. F. MacFarland of Washington, Judge S. P. Spencer of St. Louis, Mr. Francis W. Parker of Chicago, W. A. Hunton, international secretary of the Young Mets Christian association, and many other leaders in the business and professional life of the country. The campaign leader is Fred B. Smith, the successful evangelist to men. This personnel ought certainly to impress any thoughtful man with the force that is behind the movement, to say nothing of the bigness of the conception. To Operate for Ninety-seven Cities. We now turn to the plan of this great movement. First, ninety cities of the United States and Canada have been selected. In each of these there is going forward a long period of thorough preparation by prayer and most aggressive work, directed by a local committee of 100 citizens working in conjunction with the committee of ninety-seven. An eight day campaign will be inaugurated in each city, during which teams of leaders specially trained in methods of appealing to men, in methods of Bible study and individual evangelistic study of the sanest kind, in boys's work and in social service will visit each city. They will assist in every phase of work, addressing great meetings of every kind for men and boys, holding conferences for workers and giving inspiration, direction and advice as to organization and methods of continuing the work and conserving the results. The Christian force and organizations in each city, along with those who have been won, will then organize and carry on a somewhat similar campaign on a smaller scale in from eight to twenty smaller cities. This will help to insure for years to come the (Continued on Page, Eight.) NEGRO'S STATUS EXACT AND SURE In Eloquent Address to Washington High School Congressman Taylor Takes High Position. RACE PRIDE NEEDED READING THE STIRRING RECORDS OF ADVANCEMENT, STATESMAN BIDS THE YOUNG TO TAKE COURAGE—DO NOT SPURN THE SOIL Washington, D. C.—A class of 85 was graduated this afternoon from the four-year academic course offered at the M Street High school, the exercises taking place at the Howard theater before an overflow audience which had gathered in large numbers, not only because of the inspiring spectacle, but also because the commencement address was delivered by the Hon. E. L. Taylor, at present a member of the house of representatives from Ohio, and recognized as one of the greatest friends of education effort in behalf of the negro in the country. It had recently been made known that it was very largely through the efforts of MF Taylor in congress that the sum of $60,000 was appropriated for the purchase of a site for a new M Street High school for colored students, and that the congressman had exerted himself to such good purpose for two years that appropriations had been made on more, than one occasion based on the ratio of colored population in Washington as compared with the white population which is nearly one-third. The congressman was given an ovation when he stepped upon the platform and another when he had concluded his eloquent remarks. The exercises were presided over by Mrs. Mary Church, Terrell, and the diplomas awarded the graduates by Rev. W. V. Tunnell, both members of the Washington board of education. Congressman Taylor's address is still the chief talk among the people. Mr. Taylor said in part: I consider it a distinguished honor to have been invited here today by the officers of this school, to meet with and address for a few short minutes the graduating class and so many of the representative colored citizens of the District of Columbia. An audience like this is an inspiration to any one, and particularly one who, unlike myself, may be inclined to be pessimistic as to the progress and future of the American citizen of negro persuasion. I am further honored by being permitted to speak to a class graduating as it does today, from the oldest high school in the city of Washington. The M Street High school has compelled my interest from the time I took up my duties as a congressman, representing as I do a district in which a large and intelligent negro population reside. I was gratified to learn that there are now more than 15,000 young colored people enrolled into the various grade schools of the District of Columbia, and more than 1,500 enrolled into the high and normal schools. SCHOOL TYPICAL OF RACE. The growth of the M Street school qualifies the development of the race. Starting as it did with but one teacher and forty-five pupils, today it is represented by thirty-five teachers and an enrollment of seven hundred and forty young American citizens, determined to prepare themselves properly to take up life's duties according to the bent of their individual ambitions, and this not including that splendid institution, the Armstrong Manual Training school, the outgrowth of the old business course of the M Street High school. The effects of a high school education upon your pupils seem to have been to inculcate courage, ambition and a desire to rise as educators, ministers, business men, lawyers and every other avocation to which you are individually suited. For I find that out of the class of 1910, at which time eighty young men and women graduated, 25 per cent are now pursuing a higher education in colleges or professional schools, and about 55 per cent are furthering their usefulness by a course in the normal school. "This total of 80 per cent who, not content with the education resulting from a course in the high schools, proposes to still further fit themselves for useful lives in an effort, not only toward self-protection, but a more laudable desire to help better the conditions of others who will follow them. It has been my good fortune to have kept in close touch with the negro citizenship of my native state in particular, and having from boyhood many of the race, both in school and in business. I have been at all times, even when others, both colored and white, were discouraged and inspired to pessimism, ardently of timid-ness as to the future of that portion of our citizenship, whose ancestors came to this country under the unfortunate circumstances of servitude. EXAMPLE OF GOOD FAITH. "One has but to look back a very short cycle of time, less than half a century, to see that the negro has accepted his duties of citizenship in good faith, with true courage, and Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith.

Taft and H. and Other Prominent Speak than any fully and education. pursuits was ever避 the a bonds-chapter and as a do every SOLU. ANN OUT Glass City Lodge, No rising above more obstacles than any other nationality, has cheerfully and patiently progressed in education, business and other honorable pursuits as rapidly as any other race was ever known to do. When we consider the evolution of the negro from a bondsman to a citizen, we have a chapter in history which should stand as a beacon of encouragement to every one of us. EDUCATION THE GREAT SOLUTION "You have realized as a race that education is the great solution, the basis essential, of good citizenship. Education and Christianity go hand in hand. To carry to the less fortunate the light of wisdom more than 30,000 of your people, men and women, have earnestly striven through secondary schools and colleges, to obtain a certificate which would entitle them to do their share in the splendid work of a people's uplift. I understand that practically all of the teachers in the district schools, training the minds and morals of more than 15,000 school children, are graduates of this splendid M Street High school. I have said that education leads to good citizenship. Education is the very keystone to individual success and racial advancement. You as a people, as soon as the opportunity was given you, eagerly sought the advantages of an education. The colored schools rapidly advanced from the old Freedman's Bureau to include in their number such splendid schools as Hampton and Tuskegee, Howard university, Fisk university, and other great parts of the educational machine which today throw open the door of opportunity to every colored child to receive an education fitting it to cope in every walk of life with their white neighbor. MUST GO INTO BUSINESS. "These are only necessary incidents to successful racial progress and development. While you have, more than a thousand abe lawyers practicing throughout the United States, two thousand or more physicians, and hundreds of bankers, brokers, architects, musicians and other professional men, do not for a single minute think that it is not equally as honorable to go into business, into farming, into mechanics, into any honorable labor, and do it well. THE SOIL IMPORTANT. "I hardly need admonish the negro of the great importance of tilling the soil. It is an acknowledged fact that the real future of this country, its very backbone, depends upon agriculture. You as a people have recognized this as readily as have the whites, and today more than 2,000,000 negroes are engaged in agricultural pursuits, and ten years ago owned over $200,000,000 worth of farms. And in the great state of Virginia, looking at a report from the auditor of the state for 1904, the negroes of the state increased the value of their property more than $1,000,000 in nine years, thus making their total property holdings in that state alone $19,500,000. ALL SIDES NEED ATTENTION. I fear that I weary you with those statistics, but I am trying to impress upon you the fact that I am as proud of the fact that millions are engaged as farmers, as I am that thousands are engaged in professional pursuits. Both classes of citizens are needed to properly solve the future of your race. I am proud of the fact that over 275,000 negroes are engaged in mechanical and manufacturing pursuits. Too many are prone to the mistake that education is not necessary for manual labor, agriculture, and occupations other than professional. Let me say at this point that the best teacher is the one best educated. The best lawyer, doctor, professional man or woman is the one who has the best trained mind, and this rule applies with equal force. for wherever you find an educated farmer, mechanic or laborer, there will you find the best equipped of his class. HANDS AND BRAIN. The hands are but the instruments of the brain, and a well-developed brain will produce the more skillful manual labor. One cannot pursue any vocation successfully with his brain dormant. One can reach a high degree of proficiency in his chosen line only by a high degree of development of his mental processes. We cannot all be teachers, we cannot all be lawyers. If such were the case it would be a great calamity. COURAGE AND FAITH. And now the one thing that I believe we must remember most of all. It is naturally customary with young people, going out into the world as you are today, no longer guided, instructed and aided by your preceptors, entirely dependent upon your own abilities, courage and resources, to feel that the world is at your feet, when in fact unless you clothe yourself in an abiding faith, an undying courage, and ambition that will not falter when face to face with difficulties and discouragement, you are at the feet of the world, and will be trodden upon unless there is in you the stamina which will force recognition of your merits, be those the merits of a teacher, doctor, lawyer, minister, business man, mechanic, farmer, nurse, laborer, or domestic servant. I place no one of these occupations above the other. ALL LABOR HONORABLE. he are each equally honorable and an honest ambition to be the best of your kind will make your life a success, for success is not measured by the greatness of the individual, but if a man or woman can say that he or she is the best, or equal to the best, in their chosen life's work, their ambition is as well rounded out as is the ambition of the greatest man or woman of your race. You cannot all be leaders. One must excel the other. (Continued on Page Eight.) PITTSBURG MAKING READY FOR BAPTIST CONVENTION President Wm. H. Taft and Dr. Booker T.

The national Baptist convention, which includes in its territory outside of the United States Africa, the important isles of the sea and South America and which supports one missionary in Russia, will hold its next annual meeting in this city for one week, beginning on Wednesday, September 13. The Rev. J. H. Dwelle, pastor of the New Hope Baptist church in Braddock and also secretary of the Pennsylvania Baptist state convention, is co-operating heartily with the local committee, of which the Rev. T. H. C. Messer, D. D., is chairman, in putting the finishing touches on every detail of the arrangements for the successful, working of the convention. The committee has secured Luna park, corner of Craig and Center streets, for the convention. This imures room for the large dele- K. OF P. LODGE ASSEMBLES IN CITY Mayor Welcomes Knights—Hon. Henry Bass Speaks. The fifth annual session of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias was formally opened on Tuesday night at the spacious-Rodman Street Baptist church with an excellent program, suited to the tastes of the most exacting. Although late assembling, this crowd that gathered to hear the principles of Pythianism extolled was indeed a representative one. For the first time since his inauguration, Mayor-Magee appeared in person to deliver the address of welcome. His welcome was warm and genuine, and with it was interwoven some wholesome advice for any struggling people. He emphasized the importance of education, organization and patience in the battle of advancement. His address was not an address to Negroes especially, but one suited to any race confronting circumstances similar to ours. He invited the Knights who have gathered here to investigate the city while here, and conclude for themselves what is the character, not the reputation, of the City of Smoke. But Mayor Magee was only one of the treats upon the program. We had with us the corgiennial Hon. Harry Bass of Philadelphia, whose words were water to the thirst. With his peculiar style he complimented us for our progress as a community, and expressed an abiding confidence in the place. We are proud of Mr. Bass, not only as the first Negro representative to sit in the Legislative Hall at Harrisburg, but because he has shown a disposition to lift as he climbs. Nor must the annual sermon delivered by Dr. Rodney C. Fox be forgotten. It was the general consensus of opinion that Dr. Fox was at his best; gation of between 9,000 and 10,000 persons who will be in attendance as such, besides the thousands of visitors from all parts of the country and many, from abroad who are expected to be present. President E. C. Morris is very much pleased at the acceptance of President William H. Tait to speak on Wednesday, September 13, and Dr. Booker T. Washington, who will speak on Friday, the 15th. Rev. Dr. C. D. Patterson, secretary of the committee, urges all persons who desire accommodations secured in advance to address either himself at 409 West Jefferson street, North Side, Pittsburg, or Rev. Dr. T. H. C. Messer, 5109 Broad street, at their earliest convenience. Mrs. Fanny Morton has charge of arrangements for ladies. Requests for accommodations should be sent to her at 248 Lombard street. for his words flowing as from a natural fountain, fell as seed upon good soil, and we shall look for the fruits there from among the ranks of Pythians who had the pleasure of hearing the speaker. On behalf of the lodges, G. A. Stanton delivered the welcome address, and when he had finished, certainly there was no one present who did not feel that his or her presence was a necessity. The Grand Chancellor, although slightly indisposed, responded with vigor to the Mayor. Attorney-R. L. Vann, who was master of ceremonies, handled the immense audience with characteristic ease, holding them until quite mid-night without a stir.

A wealthy man in New York committed suicide when his doctor told him he had appendicitis. A post mortem revealed that he did not have it. His fear of evil was worse than the evil itself—Prov 1:33. The Allegheny General Baptists' Association, incorporated under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania, met in its annual session at McDonald, Pa., in the First Baptist church. After the election of officers the various committees were appointed. A special committee was appointed on the state and condition of the country, politically as well as religious, of which Dr. O. S. Simms is chairman and Dr. H. W. Childs, secretary. The committee recommended to the general body to endorse only those white men who were leaning towards the colored man and are willing to give him proper consideration. Dr. D. S. Scott called the attention of the committee to the various gentlemen who are now candidates for the various offices of the county of Allegheny and of the city of Pittsburg. He recommended to the committee Judge Marshall Brown for their endorsement, Alson John F. Lowrie and S. V. Simon, as well as J. B. Drew. He also recommended the endorsement of the nine appointees of councilmen who were appointed by Governor John K. Tener. The committee accepted the recommendations of Dr. Scott, who was also a member of the committee, and recommended the same, to the general body, who unanimously adopted it. A donation of $10 toward buying a marker to designate the spot at Fort Stevens where Abraham Lincoln stood, exposed to the fire of the Confederate soldiers during the war, has been made by the Legion of Loyal Women of this city. The members of the legion say they regard the incident as a most important one in the history of the United States. An offer will be made at the approaching general conference of the A. M. E. Zion church to bring about the election of the Rev. S. L. Corrothers as one of the bishops of the Zion church. The Rev. C. C. Allen will be supported for the editorship of the Star of Zion. These decisions were reached as the result of a meeting of the Zion ministers. President Taft will surely be nominated and elected," said Representative John Dalzell the other day. Mr. Dalzell spoke against reciprocity, voted against it and took no pains to conceal his thoughts concerning it, but he sees no reason why he or any other Republican should not endorse and support President Taft's administration as a whole. Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school, will be the orator of the day at the annual emancipation celebration at Cleveland, Ohio. This is considered the greatest annual meeting in the Buckeye state and Dr. Evans who was born and educated in Oberlin, just thirty miles from Cleveland, and who has made a name for himself in the educational world, is an ideal man for orator of the day. Dr. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University, passed through the city recently enroute for New York, where he took a speaker for Europe. Dr. Scarborough will be one of the speakers at the universal races congress at London. John A. Langford, builder of the True Reformers' building in this city and for several years located here as architect and builder, will leave Wilberforce University and locate in Jacksonville, Fla. President Taft showed great wisdom in retaining Minister Furniss at his post in Port-au-Prince. Haiti is just now almost in a state of anarchy, but Furniss, the trained diplomat, is able to keep the situation well in hand. It would have been impossible for an untrained man to have handled the matter. Nathaniel A. Murray, a recent graduate of Cornell, who is in charge of the school gardens of the Washington public schools, has been appointed to a professorship in the famous Tuskegee institute of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is principal. Mr. Murray has the degree of B. E. Agril. A Washington newspaper is offering prizes amounting to $100 to the boys and girls who kill the largest number of files in a two weeks' campaign. It is really predicted that at the end of two weeks the city will be practically free of the disease-breeding horde. Mrs. W. H. Lewis, wife of the assistant attorney general, will leave in August for a visit to Southern France, where she will remain for several months. Her three children will accompany her. The gift of a hospital to be known as "The John A. Andrew Hospital" has been made to Tuskegee Institute by Boston friends of the institution. The donors of the building do not wish their names made public. H. Paulous Sannon, the Haitian minister here, does not believe that his government faces certain defeat by its enemies. He says that Port-au-Prince has never been taken as assault and it is not likely to fall by assault now. R. L. Waring, president of the Washington local league, is working hard to get up a party to go to the meeting of the National Negro Business League which meets in Little Rock, Ark., August 16, 17 and 18. Hon. J. C. Harper, chairman of the executive committee, and Cyrus Field Adams, transportation agent of the National league, are giving him all the assistance in their power. Help that comes to late is not but fame. FIVE CENTS A COPY Encouraged by Signs of Good Omen, the League Adds New Recruits For the Bredening of Its Work—Big Preparations For Next Annual Masting In Boston Aug. 28. The National Independent Political league, is composed of organizations and individuals of the race in various parts of the country who believe that colored Americans ought to use their ballots to secure to the people every right guaranteed them under the constitution of the United States. The league stands for men and measures rather than for any particular political party. It contends for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens. It was very active in the congressional and gubernatorial campaigns of 1910, and each one of the five gubernatorial candidates it especially supported was elected, while seventeen of the twenty-five congressmen it worked for won out in said election. This organization has kept constantly before the minority party the advisability of treating the colored voters with fairness and justice, assuring said party that if it prove itself to be in favor of according to the race all the rights guaranteed colored men under the constitution, it may expect in future elections the support of large numbers of manly and intelligent colored men throughout the country—especially in the north and west. This presentation of the case by the white man had constituted a great success with the numerous members of the lower branch of congress, and has served, up to the present, to prevent the passage by the United States house of representatives of many measures inimical to the ```markdown ``` of many measures rights of the race. These are hopeful signs and portended only good for the colored American voter who uses his ballot for the advancement of his race rather than for the securing of petty offices under the national government. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the league held in Washington, Bishop Alexander Walters designated the presidency of the league, as his duties as presiding bishop over the A. M. E. Z. church in the West India islands and in West and South Africa made it necessary for him to be absent from America a large part of each year. Mr. J. B. Clifford of Martinsburg, W. Va., a prominent lawyer, veteran editor, successful politician, fearless contender for the rights of the race and a Grand Army man of note, was elected to take the place of Bishop Walters as head of the league. The Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., of Louisville, Ky., was elected a member of the executive committee for Kentucky and Hon. J. PRESIDENT J. B. CLIFFORD. T. C. Newsom was elected executive committeeman for the District of Columbia. N. B. Marshall, Esq., a graduate of Harvard university and a practicing attorney in New York city, was elected financial secretary and superintendent of leagues. W. H. Harris, Esq., a leading business man of Washington, was elected assistant national organizer. Mrs. Ida Wells-Barrett and Mrs. J. E. Givens were appointed organizers of women's auxiliaries for Illinois and Kentucky, respectively, and the league decided to hold its next annual meeting in Boston, Aug. 28, 29 and 30. Attorney N. B. Marshall was employed to give his entire time to the work of organizing local learns and advancing the interests of the parent body. From reports, which have reached the national organizer, Rev.

Catch the Idea? --- WHEN A MAN MARRIES BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART AUTHOR OF THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE THE MAN IN LOWER TEN, ETC. COPYRIGHT 1909 BY THE BODAS-MERRILL COMPANY SYNOPSIS CHAPTER XXII. (Continued.) "A rope!" he demanded, without paying any attention to us and diving into corners of the room. "Good heavens, isn't there a rope in this confounded house! He turned and rushed out, without any explanation, and left us staring at the door. "Bother the rope!" I found myself forced to look into two earnest eyes. "Kit, were you very angry when I kissed you that night on the roof!" "Very," I maintained stoutly. "Then prepare yourself for another attack of rage!" he said. And Betty opened the door. She had on a fetching pale blue dressing gown, and one braid of her yellow hair was pulled carelessly over her shoulder. When she saw me on my knees beside the bed (oh, yes, I forgot to say that, quite unconsciously, I had sldd into that position) she stopped short, just inside the 'door, and put her hand to her throat. She stood for quite a perceptible time looking at us, and I tried to rise. But Tom shamelessly put his arm around my shoulders and held me beside him. "I—I beg your pardon for coming in," she said nervously. "But—they want you downstairs, Kit. At least, I thought you would want to go, but—perhaps—" Just then from the lower part of the house came a pandemonium of noises. CHAPTER XXIII. The second floor was empty. A table lay overturned at the top of the stairs, and a broken flower vase was weltering in its own ooze. Part way down Betty stepped on something sharp, that proved to be the Japanese paper knife from the den. I left her on the stairs examining her foot, and hurried to the lower floor. Here everything was in the utmost confusion. Aunt Bellina had fainted, and was sitting in a hall chair with her head rolled over sidewise and the poker' from the library fireplace across her knees. No one was paying any attention to her. And Jim was holding the front door open, while three of the guards heattested in the vestibule. The noises continued from the back of the house, and as I stood on the lowest stair Bella came out from the dining room, with her face streaked with soot, and carrying a kettle of hot water. "Jim," she called wildly. "While Max and Dal are below, you can pour this down from the top. It is boiling." Jim glanced back over his shoulder. "Carry out your own murderous design," he said. And then, as she started back with it, "Bella, for Heaven's sake," he called, "have you gone stark mad?" Put that kettle down. She did it sulkily and Jim turned to the policeman. "Yes, I know it was a false alarm before," he explained patiently, "but this is genuine. It is just as I tell you. Yes, Flannigan is in the house somewhere, but he's hiding, I guess. We could manage the thing very well ourselves, but we have no cartridges for our revolvers." Then as the noise from the rear redoubled, "If you don't come in and help, I will telephone for the fire department," he concluded amphatically. I ran to Aunt Selina and tried to straighten her head. In a moment she opened her eyes, sat up and stared around her. She saw the kettle at once. "What are you doing with boiling water on the floor?" she said to me, with her returning voice. "Don't you know you will spoil the floor?" The ruling passion was strong with Aunt Bella, as usual. I could not find out the trouble from any one: people appeared and disappeared, carrying strange articles. Annie with a strop, Dell with his hatchet, Bella and the kettle, but I could get a coherent explanation from no one in the guards finally decided J. "Mr. Lawrence McGuirk. Better Known as, 'Tubby.'" W that Jim was in earnest, and that the rest of us were not crawling out a rear window while he held them at the door, they came in, three of them and two reporters, and Jim led them to the butler's pantry. "Here we found Anne, very white and shaky, with the pantry table and two chairs piled against the door of the kitchen slide, and clutching the chamois-skin bag that held her jewels. She had a bottle of Burgundy open beside her, and was pouring herself a glass with shaking hands when we appeared. She was furious at Jim. "I very nearly fainted," she said hysterically. "I might have been murdered, and no one would have cared. I wish they would stop that chopping. I'm so nervous I could scream." Jim took the Burgundy from her with one hand and pointed the police to the barricaded door with the other. "That is the door to the dumb-waiter shaft," he said. "The lower one is fastened on the inside, in some manner. The noises commenced about eleven o'clock, while Mr. Brown was on guard. There were scraping sounds first, and later the sound of a falling body. He roused Mr. Reed and my self, but when we examined the shaft everything was quiet, and dark. We tried lowering a candle on a string, but—it was extinguished from below." The reporters were busily removing the table and chairs from the door. "If you have a rope handy," one of them said, "I will go down the shaft." "The cage appears to be stuck, halfway between the floors," Jim said. "They are cutting through the door in the kitchen below." They opened the door then and cautiously peered down, but there was nothing to be seen. I touched Jim gingerly on the arm. "Is it—is it Flannigan," I asked, "shut in there?" "No—yes—I don't know," he returned absently. "Run along and don't bother, Kit. He may—take to shooting any minute." Anne and I went out then and shut "Mr. Lawrence McGuirk, the door, and went into the dining room and sat on our feet, for of course the bullets might come up through the floor. In the midst of the excitement Tom appeared in a bath-robe, looking very pale, with a bandage around his head, and the nurse at his heels threatening to leave and carrying a bottle of medicine and a spoon. In about fifteen-minutes there was a thud, as if the cage had fallen, and the sound of feet rushing down the cellar stairs. Then there were groans and loud oats, and everybody talking at once, below, and the sound of a struggle. In the dining room we all sat bent forward, with straining ears and quickened breath, until we distinctly heard one one laugh. Then we knew that, whatever it was, it was over, and nobody was killed. The sounds came closer, were coming up the stairs and into the pantry. Then the door swung open, and Tom and a policeman appeared in the doorway, with the others crowding behind. Between them they supported a grimy, unshaven object, covered with whitewash from the wall of the shaft, an object that had its hands fastened together with handcuffs, and that leapted at us with a pair of the most villainously crossed eyes. I have ever seen. None of us had ever seen him before. "Mr. Lawrence McGulrk, better known as 'Tubby'," Mr叫了 cheerfully. "A celebrity in his particular line, which is second-story man and all-round rascal. A victim of the quarantine, like ourselves." "We've missed him for a week." one of the guards said with a grin. "We've been real anxious about you. Tubby. An't a week goes by, when you're in health, that we don't hear something of you." Mr. McGuirk muttered something under his breath, and the men chuckled. Aunt Selina rose suddenly and cleared her throat. "Am I to understand," she asked severely. "that from now on we will have to add two newspaper reporters, three policemen and a burglar to the occupants of this quarantined house? Because, if that is the case, I absolutely refuse to feed them." But one of the reporters stepped forward and bowed ceremoniously. "Madam," he said, "I thank you for your kind invitation, but—it will be impossible for us to accept. I had intended to break the good news earlier, but this little game of burglar-in-a-corner prevented me. The fact is, your Jap has been discovered to have nothing more serious than chicken-pox, and—if you will forgive a poultry yard joke, there is no longer any necessity for your being cooped up." Then he retired, quite pleased with himself. One would have thought we had exhausted our capacity for emotion, but Jim said a joyful emotion was so new that we hardly knew how to receive it. Then we all sat down and had some champagne, and while they were waiting for the police wagon, they gave some to poor McGuirk. He was still quite shaken from his experience when the dumb-walter stuck. The wine cheered him a little, and he told his story, in a voice that was creaky from disuse, while Tom held my hand under the table. He had had a dreadful week, he said; he spent his days in a closet in one of the maids' rooms—the one where we had put Jim. It was Jim waking out of a nap and declaring that the closet door had moved by itself and that something had crawled under his bed and out of the door, that had roused the suspicions of the men in the house—and he slept at night on the coal in the cellar. He was actually tearful when he rubbed his hand over his scrubby chin, and said he hadn't had a shave for a week. He took somebody's razor, he said, but he couldn't get hold of a portable mirror, and every time he lathered up and stood in front of the glass in the dining room sideboard, some one came and he had had to run and hide We were all rather sorry for him, but if we had made him uncomfortable, think of what he had done to him. And for him to tell, as he did later in court, that if that was high society he would rather be a burglar, and that we starved him, and that the women had to dress each other because they had no lady's maids, and that the whole lot of us were in love with one man, it was downright malicious. The wagon came for him just as he Better Known as 'Tubby.' finished his story, and we all went to the door. In the vestibule Aunt Selina suddenly remembered something, and she stepped forward and caught the poor fellow by the arm. "Young man," she said grimly. "I'll thank you to return what you took from me last Tuesday night." McGurl started, then "huddered and turned suddenly pale. "Good Lord!" he ejaculated. "On the stairs to the roof! You!" They led him away then, quite broken, with Aunt Selina staring after him. She never did understand. I could have explained, but it was too awful. On the steps McGurl turned and took a farewell glance at us. Then he waved his hand to the policemen and reporters who had gathered around. "Good-by, fellows," he called feebly. "I ain't sorry, I ain't. Jail'll be a parade after this." And then we went to pack our trunks. Note from Max which came the next day with its enclosure: My Dear DK—The enclosed trunk tag was used on my trunk evidently by mistake. Higgins discovered it when he was unpacking and returned it to me under the misapprehension that I had written it. I wish I had I suppose there must be something attractive about a fellow who has the courage to write a love letter on the back of a trunk tag, and who doesn't give a tinker's dam who finds it. But for my peace of mind, ask him not to leave another one around where I will come across it. Max. Written on the back of the trunk tag: Don't you know that I won't see you until tomorrow? For heaven's sake, get away from this crowd and come into the den. If you don't I will kiss you before everybody. Are you coming? This was scratched out and beneath. Coming. THE END. CONNELLSVILLE.

Z church was thonged last Thursday evening to listen to the rarest musical treat ever accorded the people of Salem Ohio. The occasion was a grand concert given by the Xanophia Mandolin Quintet of Pittsburg, assisted by local vocal talent. The quintet, led by Lemuel Brooks, "Mandolin Virtuoso," certainly played their way into the hearts of the music lovers of Salem. Each member proving himself a master, Lemuel Brooks, leader, astounded his audience by his thorough knowledge and superior skill of the mandolin. During each performance, the leading musical professors were compelled to acknowledge masterly a performance of the Brooks. It is to be hoped that the services of this matchless mandolin quintet can be again secured in the near future. Much thanks are also due Miss E. Howard, who secured the services of the quintet.

Vanity's Excuse The peacock spread his gorgeous tail and strutted around, proud of his magnificence. "Still," he squawked, "I'm only doing this for the credit of the family; my wife ought to wear the bustle, you know, but she doesn't." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The sturdy practicality of the education which Booker T. Washington is giving to the young men attending his Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute was illustrated by the character of the exercises at the thirtieth annual commencement of that institution, which was held a few days ago. There were no essays on abstract themes, embellished with selections from volumes of elegant extracts. There were no speeches on the race problem or current political topics. The students discussed their everyday life, and brought upon the platform material illustrating different intensely practical subjects taught in the school. One number of the program dealt with the care and feeding of cows for milk production. A scrub cow and a high-grade Jersey were brought on the platform. These cows were fed, groomed and milked. The cost of feeding each cow for a year was shown, also the amount of milk that each gave in a year. It appeared that for the same expenditure for feed and care a profit of $69 was made on the Jersey cow, while $14 was lost on the scrub cow. A young woman discussed "The Negro Dressmaker in the Community." This especially caught the audience. The student told how the dressmaker might help the people to wear more becoming and less expensive clothes, and to illustrate she brought in a girl who wore a good dress which was somewhat out of fashion. The dressmaker committee proceeded to change this out-of-date pattern, a transformation accomplished by a little cutting and stitching. The colored pedagogue who is at the head of this excellent school for people of his race is a man with a hard hand who keeps both feet on the ground. He does not believe in "trills" or in "hifalutin." The young people who come under his influence learn that "life is real, life is carnest," and when they have completed the course at Tuskegee they leave their alma mater equipped with ability to take a useful part in the world's work. There are many white pedagogues who with advantage to themselves and to those coming under the instruction and influence might well make a detailed study of what is going on at Tuskegee.—Editorial: Milwaukee (Wls.)

The failure to use one's powers of mind and body up to the full measure of their capacity is to invite the most deadly enemy to one's peace. Such people supply in their children food for the chain gangs, workhouses and the tenderloin. It would do this woman good if some one had the direction of her energies and, though slavery is repugnant to every noble instinct, we say without hesitation that slavery would be better for such a woman than the freedom which she has but to abuse. "An idle brain is the devil's workshop," and an idle, stoifless, shameless mother befouls the most sacred name among any people.—Durham Reformer. There is a statement going the rounds of the negro press to the effect that much of the money now spent in the erection of churches might well be diverted to the building up of business enterprises. It is stated by some, implied by others, that the future of the race depends upon its economic well-being. Some go so far as to instance the Jewish race as an exemplification of this dictum. We wonder if they have ever stopped to think about the cause of the existence of that race today, when its earliest comperees, are resting so quietly in "oblivion's swelling tide"—Star of Zion. Not since the days of Marshall, the famous colored Harvard athlete, has fair Harvard, one of the greatest colleges in the world, been so amazed as recently at Theodore Cable, the summer thrower, also colored, who won the spring meet when he threw the sixteen-pound hammer 144 feet and 10 inches. Coaches declare him the greatest find developed this season. Cable is a great favorite and well liked by his fellow students. Colored men, quit neglecting your family for the "wild" woman. You who are guilty, when you read these lines, please; neither go mad nor confess; further, it will not help matters to say that the Dallas Express has nothing to do with it; just quit in Hibiscus language: "Please to do evil and learn to do well." "Not only justice, but self-interest demands the education of the negro are the words of Mr. Charles E. Stowe, and every southern white man who is oppressed to the education of the negro would do well to read and think on the above statement. We are making great progress. Let us not be discouraged. Our day is coming right here in this country and in this southland. We should teach our children to be polite and oblige to every one. THE COURIER William A. Howard, a member of the Negro Business League in New Orleans, is the inventor of a sugar cane loader that is meeting with great success, not only in the state of Louisiana but in Mexico, where the cultivation of sugar cane is one of the stable products. The Howard Cane Loader Manufacturing company is composed of three members—two white and one colored, William Howard. Mr. Howard informed us that why the whites were taken as co-partners was due to the fact that, not having sufficient capital himself to start a plant to manufacture the machines, and not being able to persuade members of his own race, who had the money, to co-operate with him, he consequently was obliged to resort to white capitalists. The factory is located at Berwick, La. The Howard loader is a great labor saver—especially to the Mexican planters, where labor can be procured at a low cost. With this machine three persons can now do the work which required from twelve to fifteen persons formerly to accomplish within a given time. The company, the para-season, sent out to prospective buyers one or more loaders at their own expense on the following conditions: Should the loader fall to do the work as a labor and money saver, the planter would not be under any obligations whatever, and the Howard company would take back the machine at their own expense. We are advised that not one of these machines has been returned, but, instead, orders were given for more. This loader during the last season is claimed to have proven itself to be the greatest cane loading device in the world. It was worked alongside of the cane loaders claimed to be the best on the market, and after some days' test the other loaders were said to have been discarded and the Howard loaders adopted. Mr. Howard last season spent three months in Mexico, superintending the starting of the machines. As a result of this visit he anticipates quite a considerable demand for the cane loaders during the coming season, as they will be used in nearly all the cane fields in Mexico—Tuskegee Student. A great many people borrow their neighbor's paper instead of taking it themselves. We know this is true in Abbeville county for a great many people have told us they borrowed the paper from their neighbor. If everybody that borrowed the paper would subscribe for it themselves it would increase our circulation considerably, enable us to publish a better paper, and perhaps enable us to publish it ofteren. In borrowing the paper you get something for which you pay nothing, and if you thing of it a little you will realize it is a pretty small thing to do. It worries your neighbor more or less to have your send to his paper. Of course your neighbor is not going to admit it, but suppose some of your neighbors came over to borrow something from you every week, don't you believe it would annoy you just a little, and the cost of a paper for a whole year is so little that it really does seem a small thing to worry your neighbor about. We believe you will agree with us after a little reflection, and if you do, hope you will come in and give us your subscription—Pledmont Voice. The next president of Liberla will be Daniel E. Howard, Mr. Howard has been in the political life in the republic for some years; and is at present the secretary of the treasury. His sympathies towards the United States are well known and there is, accordingly, little apprehension left as to the probable effect which his election will have on the established relations between the two countries. Many of the well wishers of the struggling republic should feel rejoiced because of Mr. Howard's nomination for the headship of the Liberian state—Exchange. Colored labor will have nothing to lose by sticking a little closer to business and by putting a little more interest and enthusiasm into the work assigned. The Dallas Express is the friend of colored labor, and because it is a friend takes the liberty to speak plainly. Our advice is to do better or the job you have now will soon know you no more forever. Plans have been inaugurated by the trustees of Fisk University to raise $300,000 to be used in paying indebtedness of the school and for the establishment of an endowment fund. They now have pledges for $100,000. The trustees hope to have the people of Nashville, Penn, make a gift, as it will show the workers in the north they mean business. There should be a closer union among negroes in all their business affairs. Don't be afraid to put your money in a negro tank and to buy your every day necessities from negro merchants. Mothers and mothers should make every upparation to have their children enter school next winter. D. E. Howard, former secretary of the treasury of Liberia, has been elected president of the republic, succeeding President Arthur Barley whose term expires with the present year. Since supporting race enterprise is right, men are coming to the doctrine-with their mouths, forgetful of the fact that talk is cheap. The work of buying homes and becoming taxpayers should go on witting out ceasing. Homestead, Pa. (By Biancie Dooley.)

The Original Poro Hair Grower 4 Years ago my Hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way up my head. 4 Years ago my Hair just covered my shoulders. Imitation is the sincerest flattery; and the fact that so many people in St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to imitate "PORO HALL GROWER" is the best proof of the merits of "Poro." We were the first to engage in the business of growing the hair regrowth of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our work we used the preparation which is known as "Poro." This is made and sold mainly by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and I always know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From the 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 if the hair and scalp be kept clean. Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford, by using mere imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. Be sure that the name "Poro" is on every box; not genuine without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "Poro." It stone the falling and starts the hair to growing at once. ELIZABETH. (By Elizabeth F. Scott) Mrs. Accoe of Brooklyn, N. Y., sent a few hours in Elizabeth on Saturday. She was called to visitung on account of the illness of her husband, Rev. J. Harris Accoe, he is sick at the Merry hospital, the school to remain in the city will be able to be taken to his home in Brooklyn. At present he is sitting along fairly well.

"George, what in the orid makes you cry?" With an injured catch in his voice George replied: "You would cry too, if you hit the crazy bone in your head as I did." Changing Hospital! Character. The question in hospitals has gradually become not "Is this patient poor enough to be admitted to the hospital?" but "Is he ill enough, or is his illness of the kind to require the special services which the hospital is organized to render?"—British Medical Journal.

THE NEGRO IN POSTAL SERVICE The recent arrest of a white man employed in the Pittsburgh Post Office calls attention to the fact that in spite of all temptations and the large number of Negro clerks employed in the office, not a single Negro has ever been arrested for robbing the mails that come into that office. This fact is of great encouragement to the post master, who does not hesitate to give the deserving and qualified Negro clerk a chance to promote himself in the service. It is of great encouragement to the Negro because it demonstrates that the Negro respects his honor and position. Some may argue that the Negro clerk does not have the same temptation as the white clerk, because the opportunity is not offered him. This is not true. There are as many Negroes in the Pittsburgh Post Office holding important clerical positions of honor and trust as there are white; and yet not one has ever yet betrayed his trust. When the strict discipline of Uncle Sam is taken into consideration, together with the fact that our Negro clerks are more than holding their own, we have double reason to be proud of the record and honestly made by the Negro-employees of the Post Office. The recent discovery of the white thief should serve as an incentive to the many Negro employees to be even more particular than in the past in their effort to serve the government honestly as well as efficiently. BAPTIST CONVENTION COMING In our efforts to lend financial and social aid to the many festivities of the season, let us not forget that our city will sown be invaded by the National Convention. This gathering of Negroes will mean much to the race, as it will afford an opportunity, to determine the progress of the Baptist church and at the same time our progress as a people. If advance reports are reliable, and we think they are, the city will be taxed for room when the delegation arrives. All sections of the country will be represented; and the South, the admitted stronghold of the Baptist church, will be here to demonstrate our progress in that section. The Courier will have a reporter on the grounds, and will give a detailed account of all proceedings, and we earnestly solicit the unanimous support of all Pittsburg. PYTHIANS HOLD SESSION The fifth annual session of the Knights of Pythias of the State of Pennsylvania was the card of attraction this week. From all over the state came brave Knights ready to render honorable service to the order, and right well did they perform that duty. The city was handed over to them by the Mayor himself, who delivered the address of welcome to the many visiting brethren who had journeyed to the city of smoke for their first time. That the welcome of the city executive was warm can not be doubted; for he actually requested the visitors to traverse the city from center to circumference in quest of whatever wholesome knowledge of the city they desired, adding that visitors are always welcome, regardless of race or creed. That great good can be accomplished by these gatherings is a common conclusion shared by all; and it is hoped that the session just closed will prove an advancement of the great Order of Loyal Knights. Petty differences must be set aside before anything definite can be hoped for by the supporters of the Order, and our race necessities demand harmony in every department. At whatever cost, let the Order move onward and upward. The capriciousness with which the New York Age plays politics would make a Mountain goat look like a one-legged man in a hurdle race. On the square, Alex., are you looking for anything. President Taft is thanking the Democrats for the passage of the Canadian Reciprocity measure. Now, when a hungry Democrat comes around the President, asking for favors, the President simply points to Chief Justice White and says: "Paid in advance, old man."

In a stirring discourse recently delivered by the pastor of Grace Memorial Presbyterian church, Rev. Chas. H. Trusty, the crying need of organized effort in all undertakings was emphasized. This quality is applied to training in local social detritkings. A strong plea was deserved colored school teachers in our community. Segregation is at our very doors and we must be prepared to meet it. If not, it will come anyhow and great harm will come with it. It was a strong forceful and interesting talk to say the least.

Just as he got the windfall, he found his machine needed a windbreak." URCH'S NEW PASTOR A. SCOTT. --- Adpropos. THE COURIER LESSON TEXT-II Chronicles 24-14-3 MEMORY VERSE-II GOLDEN TEXT-II. 'The word have I hid in it, the word might not also absorbed, the word.' Pris. 18-11. TIME-B. C. CS, in the 15th year of Joshua's reign when he was 39 years old. Joseph L. Legg, Logan PLACE-The Temple and Palace of Jerusalem JEREMIAH. PERSONB—Josiah the king. Huldah the prophetess. Hillkiah the high priest. Shaphan the scribe or secretary. With hundreds of millions of Bibles in existence and several millions more printed every year, it is somewhat difficult for us to imagine how knowledge of the written Bible, and of the exact tenor of its teachings could be lost. Some facts will help us to understand. There were at that time very few copies of the sacred books in existence. They were very expensive. It was customary for these copies to be kept in the temple, while the copy which (according to the law) was made for the use of the king, would most certainly have perished under such kings as Manasseh and Amon. Very few of the people could read the law even if it had been within their reach. A modern illustration is the case of Europe before the reformation, where even in the monasteries the Bible was almost an unknown book. Luther was twenty years old before he ever saw a copy. It is plain that the finding of this book "was not the discovery of something unknown before, but the rescuing of the temple copy of the law from the biding place in which it had long lain." It must have been the ancient copy of the law, and not a book written, as some critics think, by unknown persons in the reign of Manasseh, never seen or used among the Jews before. That an unknown book with no authority behind it should produce the effect on Josiah and his people, which this book of the law produced, borders on the absurd. Moreover many of the laws must have been familiar to Josiah for they had been acted upon by his ancestors in every reform, and by himself in the reforms he began six years before, in the twelfth year of his reign. It would have been impossible to impose upon the people, and make them believe that a new book, never before heard of, was the law of their kingdom from God. When they brought out from the old chests in the temple the money contributed for repairs, which had been deposited in the safest hiding place. Hilkiah the priest, who had charge of the money, in searching the chest found at the bottom a book of the law of the Lord, the law given by Moses. Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, King Josiah's secretary of state, as the fitting person to show it to the king. When Shaphan reported the contributions and the work on the temple, he brought the book with him, told how it had been found, and read it to the king. The king heard the book read, and he assembled the elders and priests and the Levites. They made a public covenant and pledge. The king him self first made a public covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, with all his heart. This was very similar to the great meeting under Joshua on the slopes of Mount Ebal and Gerizim eight centuries before, on taking possession of the Promised Land. The same motives were presented, and the same covenant made. And the king might well have said to the people as Joshua did: "We are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the Lord, to serve him." And they said: "We are witnesses." The covenant was made under the power of the strongest and best motives that could be brought to bear upon them, when their minds were unplifted into clearest vision, above the smoke and clouds of earth. That was the right time to make a decision. God has given us feelings on purpose to move us to decide aright. Josiah restored the regular temple services under the priests and Levites; and he celebrated a passover, such as had not been celebrated from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah. From all parts of the land the people flocked up to the renovated temple and joined with every demonstration of gladness in the eight days' festivity prepared for them. Thirty thousand males of full age attended. During all these days the services of the temple choir were brought into requisition—the singers of the famous clan of Asaph choir, in relays, the psalms for the season, appointed centuries before by David, Asaph and Juduth. The Bible may be lost today by neglecting it—neglecting to read it daily. Neglecting family reading and prayers. Neglecting to read its stories to little children. By disobeying it. Disobeying its precepts dulls the conscience and the whole moral nature, so that it may be said, "Eyes have they, but they see not. ears have they but they hear not." By being so absorbed in worldly things that while he hears the word with his ears, "the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh fruitful." By keeping the Word far from daily life, so that all its blessed truths are admired, but not geared on to right action. They are to be hearers "as a very lonely song of one that hath a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear thy words, but they do them not." By making the Bible unattractive, I have heard a number of ministers read the Bible so poorly that people were not interested in it, listened carelessly, and liked it less than if it had been unread. Then the printing of the Revised Version is so solid as to be unattractive and difficult to use. By lessening its authority. It makes a vast difference in the power of the Bible, whether it is received as only the thoughts of men, or as a message from God. By neglecting all the light that is shining upon it from many sources. A GREAT DAY FOR FISK UNIVERSITY Charles E. Stowe Delivered Annual Address to the Graduating Class. MANY PROMINENT VISITORS FIFTY-SEVEN GRADUATES RECEIVED THEIR DIPLOMAS AT THE NASHVILLE INSTITUTE. Nashville, Teen.—The commencement exercises at Fisk university this year were as interesting as any the famous old university ever had. Thousands attended the several celebrations, and many could not gain entrance to the hall on the day that Charles E. Stowe, son of Harriet Beecher Stowe, delivered the annual address. President Gates, who is making a determined effort to raise $300,000, needed to put the university on a good footing, was highly pleased with the enthusiasm manifested by both the visitors, students and citizens of Nashville. Prominent Visitors. Many prominent visitors were present during the week. Booker T. Washington, who stopped over on his way to Willberforce, occupied a seat on the platform on commencement day. Others included Hon. J. C. Napler, register of the United States treasury; D. R. Lin Cave, who made a comment upon the address delivered by Mr. Stowe; Clinton, C. Calloway, one of the commencement orators, and many of the distinguished townpeople. Every effort will be put forward during the summer to make a successful campaign among colored people all over the country to raise a large part of the money that the school needs. Several wealthy friends of the university are willing to lend a helping hand, but they want to see what the colored people themselves will do for their greatest university. Dr. Stowe's Oration. Chief interest centered in Mr. Stowe, not only because of his relationship to Harriet Heecher Stowe, but also because he has made a firsthand investigation of conditions in the south, and has a reputation as an observant student. In the course of his address he made many interesting statements and gave altogether an address out of the ordinary. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Stowe read two letters, one from ex-President Roosevelt and the other from President Taft. The president said after a long study of the matter he is "convinced that it is necessary to have a few high-class ungovernments for those who are to be the leaders of the race," and further, that "nothing can do so much toward establishing a real nucleus for leadership among them as the maintenance of such a university as Fleck." Mr. Roosevelt sent the following letter: "I most earnestly conquered your work. You do not need to be told how emphatically I favor industrial education for the colored man, no less than for the white; but I cordially agree with Booker Washington in his support of Fisk, because it is eminently undesirable that the negro should have only a chance to get technical education in industry and agriculture. "With the negro, as with the white, while such training is that of which there is fundamentally the greatest need for the greatest number, it is yet imperative for the sake of the race that there shall be opportunity for furnishing a different type of training for a certain proportion of the race. "Fisk has behind it a long record of proved efficiency, and its present work is of high merit, not only from the standpoint of the colored man, but from the standpoint of the good citizen generally." Fifty-seven graduates all told received diplomas, 23 receiving the degree of bachelor of arts, 9 the degree of bachelor of science, 20 diplomas from the normal department, 4 from the department: of domestic science, and 1 from the department of music. Fisk never enjoyed a finer year. GROWING ASPARAGUS. Asparagus may be started from seed and come into size for table use at the third year. Seed may be planted as late as rainsummer. It requires about six weeks for the seed to germinate and come up. The young plants may be cultivated in rows as other garden vegetables and set in permanent rows or beds this fall or next spring. The asparagus plant is doubly useful. The young shoots can be used for food and the foliage branches for decoration. Sprays of asparagus are equaled by few other plants for their pleasing effect in decoration. The plants are very hardy, will stand all kinds of treatment, but will respond liberally to good treatment and will thrive in one place for tea to twenty years. A pretty trimming for a large Lezeborn hat is an incense hue or hand-some Persian ribbon, each loop rolled with black mallets. The edges of the loops should be wired with the finest milliner's wire in black silk. BEETHOVEN'S FITS OF RAGE. Boehnen's behavior was often atrocious. In giving lessons to young ladies he would sometimes tear the muscle to pieces and scatter it about the floor or even smash the furniture. Once, when playing in company there was some interruption. "I play no longer for such hoops!" he cried and left the piano. He once called Prince Lobkowitz an ass because a bassoon player happened to be absent—Dole's "Famous Composers." BETHLEE, A. M. R.
