FULL DETAILS OF THE PROGRAM Third Annual Session of the National Negro Press Association Promises to Be a Notable Event For Members of the Journalistic Profession—Large Numbers Expected. The third annual session of the National Negro Press association, called to meet at Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 15. In connection with the regular convention of the National Negro Business league, bids fair to be a notable event in the annals of the Afro-American section of the "fourth estate." Preparations of an elaborate character are being made by the local committee at the Arkansas capital, headed by those energetic spirits, William Alexander, John E. and Chester E. Bush, Rev. E. Booker and others, who represent the progressive journalism of the great, southwest, and a warm welcome awaits the brethren of the craft. Communications to the president and corresponding secretary indicate that the attendance will be large. Delegations will be there in goodly numbers from the neighboring states of the south and west, and, with a sprinkling from the north and east, it is estimated that the enrolment will not be less than 100, making the banner convention of the series. Arrangements have been made to hold the sessions in the leading churches of Little Rock, beginning on the morning of Aug. 15, at 10 o'clock. During the day papers bearing on the various phases of journalistic endeavor will be read and discussed. In the evening a monster public meeting will be held, at which time President M. M. Lewey will deliver his annual address. Some of the subjects included in the general program are: "The Business Aspect of Negro Journalism," "The Advantage of a Syndicated News Service," "How to Make a Printing Plant Pay," "Our Relations With the Associated Press—How the Negro May Secure a Fair Hearing in the News Stories of the Day." "How to Build PRESIDENT M. M. LEWEL. Up Profitable Agencies." "Circulation and How to Extend It." "The Club Rate System." "The Mechanical Equipment-Its Importance in Up to Date Journalism." "News and Editorial Policies." "The General Correspondent's Place in the Newspaper Field" and "Religious and Fraternity Journals—Their Number, Scope and Influence." A special feature of the occasion will be the presentation of an address to the open session of the National Negro Business league on "The Status of the Negro Publisher," showing by carefully collated statistics the condition of the 300 or more publications carried on by the race throughout the country, indicating the date of their establishment and frequency of issue. Inception of the Press Association. The National Negro Press association was formed at Louisville, Ky., in August, 1891, in response to a call issued by R. W. Thompson, largely inspired by N. B. Dodson, editor of the Afro-American page of the American Press Association, and supported by the united voice of the Negro press. The time was ripe for such a combination. Here was a great lever for race progress—wrife, enthusiastic and intellectually equipped for constructive work. As it has been found that scores of active newspaper men followed the fortunes year by year of the National Negro Business league. It was a very natural outcome that the new organization should meet at the same time and place each year. The present officers are as follows: President, M. M. Lewer, Pensacola, Fla.; first vice president, N. D. Brascher, Cleveland, O.; second vice president, T. Frederick Small, New York city; corresponding secretary, R. W. Thompson, Washington; recording secretary, Horace D. Slatter, Hopkinsville, Ky.; treasurer, Dr. L. G. Jordan, Louisville, Ky. Mystic Shriners Plan Big Parade. The Nobles of the Mystic Shrine will hold their ceremonial session in Atkinson City, N. J., for two days, beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 5. A monster street parade will be one of the features. FOSTER'S FAMELIVES IN NEGRO BALLADS A Monument May. Also Proclaim Deeds of Foster. HE WAS AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR SONG WRITER, HAVING PRODUCED MANY FAVOR-ITE SONGS. The Fourth of July, 1826, marked the half-century of the birth of the American nation, and naturally was celebrated with a great display of oratory and fireworks. It was about noon of that day—the same day on which Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died—that a patriotic company on the outskirts of old Pittsburgh were listening to the national salute from the deserel cannon and martial alarms from the band, when word came that a son had been born to the man who was the chief spirit of the celebration. The child who made his advent under such glorious auspices was destined to become America's most popular song writer, the author of "My Old Kentucky Home," and "Suwanee River," and 150 other ballads that everybody used to sing—Stephen Collins Foster. His body rests today under a plain gravestone of the old-fashioned sort, just like his songs, and many think that a more elaborate memorial would be out of keeping. But others hold that by such a memorial, Pittsburg would be honoring herself, and so a movement is on foot to have the obscure grave in the Allegheny cemetery, almost within view of the spot where he was born, marked with a suitably dignified monument. One already exists in Highland park, but it is not commensurate with Foster's fame and his high rank as a writer of songs. Another suggestion is to have the memorial take the form of a music pavilion in Schenley park. How Foster Got the Tunes. It was Foster who first delved into the rich fount of negro melody to find the inspiration of truly American music. There is no primitive people that has a greater wealth of haunting themes than the descendants of the African slaves, and the ante-bellum plantation resounded with the tinkle of the banjo and the chant of the cotton pickers. When Stephen was still a child he would frequently be taken to a negro church and camp meeting by a mulatto girl who was a bound servant in the household, and so he got some of the rhythmic tunes of the darkies early into his blood. There had been a musical strain in his make-up from the first—his ancestry was Irish and one of his mother's antecedents was Italian. When little Stephen was only two years old he would often pick out harmonies on a guitar lying on the floor, and when he was only seven he was taken into a music store, where he took up a flute, and in a few minutes had mastered its stops sufficiently to play "Hall Columbia." About that time there were several negro airs that had become very popular, especially "Jim Crow" and "Zip Coon." A number of the boys in the neighborhood had fitted up an old carriage house as a theater and gave juvenile performances, at which nine-year-old Stephen was the musical star. He was a native musical genius; that fact was admitted by his comrades, who granted him the only "salary" paid out by the company, the others assuming the risks of management. When there was a surplus in the treasury a dividend was declared sufficient to enable the company to see Edwin Forrest or Junius Brutus Booth on their visits to the old Pittsburgh theater. Wrote First Song at Sixteen. Native musical genius was not the sole equipment of the future song writer. He had lessons from Henry Kleber, who had opened probably the first music store in Pittsburgh. His brother has recorded that he gave much time to the study of Beethoven, Mozart and Weber. He delighted in improvisation upon the piano. He sang with profound feeling. One of his favorite songs was "Tennyson's May Queen" set to music by Dempster, and as he sang the pathetic words tears would often flow down his cheeks. It was inevitable that he should try his hand at composition. He was sixteen when his first song was published; it was "Open Thy Lattice, Love." Two or three years later a club of young men used to gather to sing some of the popular negro melodies of the day under his leadership, and to enlarge their repertoire, he suggested that they produce some songs of their own. "The Louisiana Belle" was the first, both words and music, and a week later came "Old Uncle Ned," which made him famous. The following year he was in Cincinnati working as a bookkeeper for his brother, when he wrote "Oh, Susanna," another big hit. He gave these two songs to a friend in the music publishing business, who made $10,000 out of them. Foster had the usual lack of practical business ability which marks, geniuses. The sweetest and most widely sung of all of Foster's songs is "The Old Folks at Home," better known as "Suwanne Ribber." The story of how this song came to be written is told by Foster's brother, and will interest many thousands who sing it and do PITTSBURG PA.. AUGUST 12, 1911. not even know that there is a real Suwanee river. How a Song Was Named. "One day in 1851," Morrison Foster says, "Stephen came into my office and said to me: 'What is a good name of two syllables for a southern river?' I want to use it in this new song of 'Old Folks at Home.'" I asked him how Yazoo would do. "Oh, said he, that has been used before." I then suggested Pedee. "Oh, pshaw, he replied, I won't have that." I then took down an atlas from the top of my desk and opened the map of the United States. We both looked over it, and my finger stopped at the Suwanee, a little river in Florida emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. "That's it, that's it exactly, exclaimed he delighted, as he wrote the name down. He left the office, as was his custom, abruptly, without saying another word." About this time E. P. Christy, the famous negro minstrel, wrote to Foster for a song, and this one was sold to him for $500. Foster made about $15,000 from this song afterward. A faithful setter, given to Foster by a friend, furnished the inspiration for "Old Dog Tray." Another popular song, "My Old Kentucky Home," was written under a tree that is still standing at Federal hill, the homeestead, near Bardstown, Ky., where lived John Rowan, United States senator from Kentucky when Stephen was born, and a cousin on his maternal side. "Old Black Joe" is another perennial favorite among the nearly 200 songs that Stephen Collins Foster wrote. The figure of Old Black Joe adorns the pedestal of the monument in Highland park, Pittsburgh. It is a symbol of the intimate sympathy the poet and composer had with the life of the lowly black folk whose sorrows and joys he immortalized in his songs. His Courage and Gentleness. Foster was one of the simplest and sweetest of souls. One of his teachers told his father that "Stephen was the most perfect gentleman he ever had for a pupil." He was on his way to a party one evening when he heard that a little girl had been run over by a dray and killed, and he went instead to the stricken home and spent the night there comforting her parents. Yet his gentle spirit could develop the courage of a lion upon occasions, as when he came upon two bullies who were abusing a drunken man. Seizing a fence rail he drove them to flight, after a battle in which he received a scar that he carried with him to his grave. So sensitive that the tickling of a clock annoyed him until he had stowed it away beneath a tub in the cellar, in order to be able to sleep, he locked the door of his room to everyone but his mother when he was at work on a piece of music. He removed to New York once, because that was a better market for his compositions, and in a year he had become so homesick that he sold out his furniture, on a twenty-four hours' notice, and went home to Pittsburg. He reached the white cottage in Lawrenceville, still standing, about midnight, and when his mother came down to see who knocked so late, she found him weeping upon the porch. In spite of his 'love for his home he was destined to die in the great metropolis. In January, 1864, while in the American hotel in New York, he was seized with a fever. Getting up a few days later, he was so weakened that he fell across a wash basin and cut several serious gashes in his head and throat. He died in a hospital a few days later from weakness and loss of blood. While Stephen Collins Foster had not the prodigious fertility of Schubert, who composed seven other songs on the same day that he composed "Erikonig," or of Abt, who has over 3,000 songs to his credit, his most popular songs are sung by more people and awaken deeper response than those of any other composer. If we expect "Home, Sweet Home," there is no better beloved song than "Suwanee Ribber." He died when he was only thirty-eight years old, but it may be doubted whether the psalmist's span of life would have made his fame any more secure than it is. He and his songs are beloved, and that is the highest assurance of immortality. Pittsburg, where his daughter still lives, cannot add to his renown by the erection of another monument, but she can show that she appreciates the richness of his genius, which received the need of praise from sources so disease as Washington Irving and Ole Boll—Cincinnati Enquirer. A SIGNIFICANT NOTICE. Richard Croker, the day of his departure for his Irish home, said to a New York reporter: "It is the desire for freedom that sends so many Americans and so many millions of dollars abroad every June. The Puritanical laws of America enslave us. These laws, with their total misconception of freedom and of enjoyment, are well exemplified in a notice board I once saw in a New England park. This board said: "Pleasure Grounds. Notice—These grounds are for pleasure only. No games or play allowed."—Washington Star.

SPECIAL SUMMER PRIZE OF FIVE DOLLARS IN GOLD Will Be Awarded September 1st, 1911 to School Boy or Girl Returning largest Number of these coupons. CUT THIS OUT and Mail to Courier With Name and Address NAME ADDRESS This is a question of far-reaching importance to all members of the race, in the country at large as well as those in the immediate vicinity; in question in which the most worthy of us should be much concerned, and of course it is of great interest to the young men and young women who are now preparing themselves for service. The call far and near, that is made to our young people, is, to prepare for service through the methods of education, and in response to this many a youth is making sacrifice that they might obtain an education possible to be received in the school of the North as well as those of the South. and in this eager pursuit learning they may do good work well. Each commencement period we got tidings from all over the country of our young people who are receiving diplomas from some of the best schools in the land, and that with credit to both the race and their parents. But what must this large army of prepared youths do? Must they be idle? Should every door of opportunity be closed to them; or should every member of the race be on the alert and seek to secure for them employment worthy of their calling? In nearly every city of prominence East and West of Pittsburgh one or more colored teachers are found, some in mixed schools and others in separate schools; and why do we not have colored teachers in Pittsburgh and in the county as well? Are not the colored people entitled to this recognition, or are they unqualified? Are not all muster that both of these last questions can be answered satisfactorily. They are entitled and a sufficient number of them are able to qualify, as to examination and moral tness. Then why can't we get a teacher here? I answer, because we are not sufficiently together to demand recognition. Let us forget some of the old standards, such as being an old Pittsburgh, and the fact that such a step might draw the color line, and let us remember that we are all colored people seeking for the same recognition that other races seek after, and what is good for other races is for our race as well, and that no people is more entitled than we are to be recognized. We are being taught that knowledge and a practical science rather than a theoretical science. The goal of education is the development of the individual. This is the aim of these technical schools, and that is why these young men and women attend, them and finish that they might be individually fitted for the better service of their fellows in the future. Preparation COLORED MAN'S $60,000 CROP That's Cotton Alone. He Grows Other Things on $200,000 Bronham, Tex—The first bible of cotton marketed in Central Texas this season was brought to Brenham and sold a few days ago by Miles Motley, a Negro. Motley is one of the wealthiest and most progressive farmers in this state. He has been involved in numerous situations in the Brazos valley. It is all paid for and is valued at upwards of $200,000. He has most of his land planted in cotton and it will give a production of about 1000 bales this year. Based on present prices of the staple these bales should bring this Negro farmer a gross revenue of more than $200,000, including the value of the crop. Bronham is not only a successful cotton printer but his farm fields include cotton, hay, and other crops. He has made a study of cotton and conducts his research on the number of farmers in the area and has the reputation of being a familiar and well-known person. He has responded to the white people in the community and country. He is a successful display of his wealth and is quietly and simply New Zealand. New Zealand has been called by its inhabitants "The Fortuneate Isles" "The Star of the South" and "The Wonderland of the Pacific" For the Poor Alone. The present is for the rich, the feature for the poor. In these lines is not to hold up the old standards of gentleman and lady, but to produce results, and the education that does not produce results lacks in the most important principle. These young people are unable to do service and produce results, where an opportunity is not given them. We cannot expect the young people to be better than they are today when the aim is so low. To produce loftiness of character we must learn lofty ideas, and I am compelled to say that this standard of self-value is only produced in any man when he is able to see the heights to which others have claim. The class room only prepares us for large service in the more broader fields. The demand upon us today is for something for the young colored men or young colored women who have by reason of study and special application prepared themselves for classical and professional service. All of this being true they must go South to employment. Why should this be? Are they taxpayers in the South? Has the South been their home? No: most of these young people know nothing of the South and are not acquainted with Southern conditions their best field is here and should be given an opportunity to exercise their rights. The Jew, the Italian, the German are given the privileges of teaching in the public schools of the city and this without much demand and why can't we receive the same rights that these enjoy? The question at once arises that to ask for colored teachers is to ask for a separation of the races and create the existence of a colored school. No I do not ask for separate schools or a separation of the races and there is no need of such, for if New York City with its multiplied interests can succeed under a mixed school system, Pittsburgh can and I believe in many parts of the city there would be no friction whatever, but I further agree that if the only way we can get a colored teacher in the city is by separate schools, then the sooner the better. Baltimore has today one of the high schools in all the country taught entirely by colored youths and more of the students in the city and can assure you that no people has advanced faster than the young people of that city. My plea is that we center our forces and with all the power we can furnish, ask that one or more colored teachers be appointed in the city and that no comprisse be made until such be done. This I shall continue to impress from pupil and press for the next two weeks. Sunday night, August 13, we will speak on the subject, "The Expense of Idlers." MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED DURING WEEK Coops in Fields for Babies That necessity is the mother of invention is shown by the hundreds of little buildings resembling chicken coops which are scattered over the fields of Weld county to provide daytime homes for the babies of the Russians who work in the fields. The Russian mothers are obliged to take their babies to the fields and have built these little structures of wood, covering them with canvas. At noon and once in the morning and in the afternoon the mothers visit their children, leaving them alone for the remainder of the day. The youngsters are apparently contented and remain in their little coops without a cry, gazing through the slats at the passerby—Greeley Cor. Denver Republican. Good Suggestion.

Story of the Career and Effective Work of the Foremost Exponent of Legitimate Drama Among Afro-Americans—Noted Reader Back Heme—Plans International Tour. By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington—Miss Heurletta Vintoh Davis, regarded by competent critics as the foremost exponent of the legitimate drama, as far as the Negro race is concerned, recently returned from a tour of Bermuda, where she achieved an artistic and social triumph, under the direction of Miss Alberta I. Burgess of Kent Lodge, St. George, who is a young woman of many musical talent and executive ability. While in Bermuda Miss Davis appeared in all of the principal cities and towals and at every point was received with marked cordiality. Delightful receptions were tendered her by the people throughout her itinerary, and beautiful and valuable presents were literally showered upon her. Queenly in, bearing, broad in her conception of the possibilities of the dramatic art, possessing a resonant voice and an engaging personality. Miss Davis easily made an impression that will not soon be forgotten. The repertoire used covered a wide range of dramatic literature, running the gamut from Shakespeare's "Lady Macbeth" and the trial scene from "The Merchant of Venice." Parthenia in "Ingomar," Zingarella, the gypsy queen, and the typical "folk lore" of Paul Laurence Dunbar's selections, which attracted special attention. While, abroad Miss Davis staged "East Lynne," appearing in the dual role of Lady Isabel and Mine, Vine, supported by local talent. Arrangements, were made for the early production of W. Edgar Easton's "Desalines," repeating her successes as Charlise, in which part she displays her rich attunements as an emotional actress. Her wonderful versatility is MISS BENRIKITA VINTON DAVIS evidenced by her lifelike impersonation of characters, male and female. As Dominique Dessalines and Prince Elon in "The Jewish Ruler" she has appeared to excellent advantage, a rather difficult undertaking for a woman. Miss Davis, has a history full of striking incidents. She is a native of Baltimore, but has made her home for the most part in Washington. She was the first colored clerk to be employed fit the office of the recorder of deeds. She evinced at an early age an aptitude for a stage career and was trained under Miss Marguerite E. Saxton. She made her debut auspiciously in Washington in 1883, being introduced to an immense audience by the Hon. Frederick Donglass. Success has crowned her efforts to develop in the race a taste for the standard creations of the dramatic art. Miss Davis has perhaps done more than any other woman of color to exemplify the capacity of the Negrd for the other realm of the drama. She has been one of the few to remain loyal to the loftier ideals of her profession, and the advanced position occupied by the race in the dramatic world today is due in no small measure to the effective pioneer work of this energetic pathinder. Miss Davis has published an attractive "Book of Recitations," which presents a varied array of standard selections for the stage, the schoolroom and the home. Her plans for the future include a brief series of engagements in America, a return to Bermuda and a visit to the West Indies, a tour of Europe, Egypt, Liberia, the Gold Coast of Africa and Cape Town. Generous Sum For Palmer Institute. G. Cleveland Buchanan, who is spending the summer in New York in the interest of the Palmer Memorial Institute at Sedalla, N. C., of which he is the financial agent and agricultural director, is meeting with gratifying success. Through the influence of Dr. Booker T. Washington an influential and wealthy friend of the school recently contributed through Mr. Buchanan $1,000 for the work of Palmer Institute. HAMPTON'S HOLD ON THE MASSES Annual Conference at Famous Institute Shows Good Results. HUNDREDS - IN ATTENDANCE. Many Subjects of Practical Importance Discussed by Leading Educators From Various Sections of the State. Mrs. Harris' Barnett' and Mrs. C. C. Norcom on Work For Women. BY OCEA TAYLOR Hampton, Va. The fifteenth annual Hampton Negro conference, recently held at Hampton institute, was a most gratifying success in every respect. There are perhaps no other gatherings held anywhere in this country which parallel these yearly conferences at Hampton in the magnificent results accomplished for the social, economic, educational, moral and religious uplift of the colored people. They vitalize the wonderful spirit of Hampton and its corps of consecrated workers in carrying the gospel of right living and right think- PRACTICE ing to educate the teacher, the teachers and like leaders in the various communities. Dr. Frissell, the president, in the course of his remarks to the conference said that an institution must keep in touch with the life of the people outside if it is to be of great service. Hampton keeps closer in touch with the life of the people outside than most institutions by these annual conferences, which bring together each year between 500 and 600 leading men and women from all parts of the country and from all walks of life, who are workers in their various communities for the general uplift of the people. "Women Work For Community Betterment" was the tope of the first session of the conference. Mrs. Harris Barrett of Hrompton, president of the Virginia Federation of Colored Women, presided. Mrs. Barrett also delivered an excellent address on "Federation Work." Among other things Mrs. Barrett said that the Virginia Federation of Colored Women, which was organized in 1907, had raised over $200 for the establishment of an industrial school for waryward girls and gave numerous other illustrations of what is being done by the women of Virginia for the uplift of their communities. Other speakers at this session were Mrs. I. C. Noreum of Portsmouth, Va., who read a well prepared paper/on MRS. HARRIS ZARKETT. "Women's Community Clubs" and showed the relation of these clubs to other community activities; Mrs. Laura B. Titus of Norfolk, Va., who has had a wide experience in community work and spoke on "Y. W. C. A. Works," showing what this organization of her city has done for the destitute colored girls who find their way to Norfolk, and who often fall into the hands of misfortune. Mrs. Ora-Brown Stokes spoke on "The Colored Women's Religious Activity" and explained by statistics and concrete illustrations how the various women's clubs are sending tangible assistance to the minister. Aside from these regular speakers, Rev. James Buchanan, secretary of the Associated Charities of Richmond, spoke encouragingly to the woman of Virginia and assumed them that there was a possibility of their getting an appropriation from the next legislature to help carry on their work. The final session of the conference was devoted to "Co-operation in Virginia." BATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1911. | : oa = THE COURIER.

Howard Jeffries, tied and bungry and thoroughly dis- custed with himself, stood still ai the corner of Fulton street, cursing;the luck which had brought him to bis present plight. = It was the noon hour, the important time of day when nature loudly claims her due, when business affairs, no, matter how pressing, mustbe tem- porarily interrupted so that the hu- man machine may lay tn a.fresh store of nervous energy. From under: the ‘portals of precipitous office bulldjngs, mammoth hives of human fndustries, ,Rhich to right and left soared ditzily from street’ to sky, swarmed thou: sands of employes of both sexes— clerks, stenographers, shop girls, mes- senger boys—all moved by a common {mpulse to satisfy without further de- lay the animal cravings of their phys feal natures. They strode along with quick, nervous step, each chatting|and laughing with his fellow, interepted for the nonce in the day's work, 'ma- king plans for well-earned recreation when five o'clock’ should come jand the uptown stampede for Harlem and ome begin. 3 ‘The young man sullenty watched the scene, envious of the energy and activity of all about him, Each jone im these hurrying throngs, he thoaght Ditterly to himself, was a valubble unit in the prosperity and welfare. of the big town. No matter how humble his or her position, each pliyed a part in the business life of the great city, each was an unseen, unknawn, yet indispensable cog in the whirling, complicated mechanism of the vast world metropolis. - Intuitively: he ifelt that he was not one of them, that he had no Fight even to consider himself thefr equal. He was utterly useless to anybody. He was without position er money. He was destitute even of 8 shred of aelfréspect. Hadn't | he promised Annie not-to touch liquor again before he found a job? Yet! he had already imbibed ‘all the whisky which ‘the Sittle money jeft in bis pocket would buy. ! Tnvoluntarily, instinctively, be shrank back {nto the shadow of @ doorway to let the crowds pass. The pavements were now filled to over- flowing and each moment newcomers from the side -streets came to syell the human stream.

His wan & type not seen every day In the com mercial district—the post-graduate college man out at elbows.

But for those Dorn with the devil-in them it came hard. It was all a matter of heredity and influence. One’s vices as well a3 one’s virtues are handed down to us ready made. He had no; doubt that in the Jeffries family somewhere in the : unsavory past there had been a weak, vicious ancestor from whom he had inherited all the traits which barred his way to success. The crowds of hungry workers grew Digger every minute. Every one was elbowing his way into neighboring restaurants, crowding the tables and buffets, all eating voraciously as they talked and laughed. Howard was rudely reminded by inward pangs that he? too, was famished, Not a’ thing had passed his lips since he had left ome in Harlem at elght o'clock that morning and he had fgld Annie that he would be home for lunch. Thge was no use staying downtown any longer. For three weary hours he had trudged from office to office seeking employment, answering advertise- ments, asking for work of any kind, ready to do no matter what, but all to no purpose. Nobody wanted him at any price. What was the good of a man, being willing to work if there was bo one to employ him? A nice Took-out certainly. Hardly a dollar left and no prospect of getting any more. He hardly had the courage to return home and face Annie. With muttered exclamiation of impatience he spat from bis mouth the half-con- sumed cigarette which was hanging from bis Up, and crossing Broadway, waiked listlessly in the direction of Park place. - Hevhad certainly made a mess of things, yet at one time, not so long ago, what a brilliant future Ufe ssemed to have in store for htm! No boy bad ever, been given a better start. He remembered the day he left home to go to -Yale: he recalled his father's kind words of encour agement, bis mother’s tears. Ab, if his mother had only lived! Then, maybe, everything would hare been different. But she died during his freshman year, carried of suddenly by heart failure. . His father married again? a young woman 20 years his junior, and that bad started every- thing of wrong. The old home life bad gone forever. He had felt like an intruder the first time he went home and from that day bis father's roof bad been distasteful to him. Yes, that was the begtaning of his hard luck. He could tracy all his misfor- tunes back to that. He,couldn’t stand for stepmother, a haughty. selfish, supercilious, ambitious creature who had Uttle sympathy for her predecet- sor's child,.and no acruple in show: fog it. ‘Then, at college, he bad met Robert Underwood, the poptlar upper class- man, who had professed to take a great fancy tolpim. He. a timid young freshman, was naturally flattered by the friendship of the dashing, fascinat- ing sophomore and thus commenced that unfortunate intimacy which bad préught about the climax to his trow bles. The suave, amiable Underwood, whora he soon discovered to be a gen: Uemanly scoundrel, borrowed bis money and introduced him into the “sporty” set, an exclusive circle into which, thanks to bis liberal allowance from home, he was welcomed with note when a little brown mouse ran across the footlights. The dira shrieked, gathered up her skirts, and ran. “My prospecta are forever blight ed,” abe moaned. : ‘At that moment there came « fever tah knocking at the door.

At no time overfond of study, he regarded reat- dence in college as a most desirable emancipation from the restraint of home life. The love of books he con- sidered # pose and he scoffed at the men who took their reading seriously. ‘The university attracted him mostly by its most undesirable features, its sports, its secret societies, its petty ‘cliques, and its rowdyism.

There were fresh scandals, the smoke ot which reached as far as New .York | This time Mr. Jeffries tried the plan of cutting down the money supply and Howard found himself financially em Darrassed.

Jeffries, Sr., could forgive muct [i= a young man. He had been young himself once. None knew better thar ‘he how dificult it 1s when the blood is rich and red to keep oneself ir control. But there was one offence which a mah proud of his descent ‘could not condone. He would never forgive the staining of the family name by = degrading marriage. The news came ‘to the unhappy father lke a thunderclap. Howard, probably a drunken spree, had married secretly a waitress employed in one of the “sporty” restaurants in~New Haren and to make the mesalliance worse the girl was not even of respectable parents. Her father, Billy Delmore the poolroom king, was a notoriow gambler and had died in convic' stripes. Fine sensation that for th yellow press. “Banker's Son Wed! Convict’s Daughter.” So ran the vscare beads” in the newspapers That was the last straw for Mr. Jeff ries, Sr. He sternly told his son tha be never wanted to look upon bis fact again. Howard bowed bis Head t the decree and he had never seen his fatber since. All this the Young man was review ing In bis mind when suddenly his re fiections were disturbed by a friendly ball, x “Hello, Jeffries, old sport! Dott you know & fellow frat when you se him?” .

Quickly Howard extended his hand: “Hello, Coxe!” he exclaimed. “What on earth are you doing in New York? Whoever would have expected to meet you in this howling wilderness?

Coxe had quickly taken note of big former classmate’s shabby appear ance. He had also heard of bis es capades. - “Didn't you hear?” muttered How ard. “Row with governor, marriage and all that sort of thing? Of course,” he went on, “father's damn- ably unjust, actuated by ahgurd pre- fudice. Annie's a good girl and a good wife, no matter what her father was. D—n it, this is a free county!

It now behooves every man or woman who subscribed to the Building Fund for Y. M. C. to redeem their pledges at once. The building has now been bought at a cost of about $25,000, which is well and centrally located on Center avenue, two doors above the Irene Kaufmann Memorial home. Every captain and worker in that glorious campaign, when about $12,000 was subscribed, should now take off his coat and try to collect every cent pledged by our people. At present a little over $5,000 has been collected and paid. We made a grand record in this building campaign, and it will ever rebound our credit if all of these pledges are redeemed. With the equipment of this building and needed improvements that will be necessary to make it adaptable will have in Greater Pittsburg a building of which you need not be ashamed. The good work which this association will be able to do for the uplifting of the race, by the redemption of these pledges means much not only to the present generation, but generations unborn. It means higher ideals, better men mentally, physically and morally. DO YOUR DUTY. REDEEM YOUR PLEDGES. COMPLETE YOUR GLORIOUS RECORD. FIRST STEP DOWN IS FATAL Will Irwin's Little Sermon Teaches That Hotels and Newspapers Must Remain Respectable. Suppose you are an innkeeper, with a fine, respectable establishment. To stimulate profits you take down a few bars, begin to admit disreputable and unpleasant people. Your hotel enjoys great prosperity for two or three seasons, then suddenly falls toward bankruptcy. The hotel bore a reputation for respectability; the soiled characters wanted to enter it in order to conceal their real nature and intentions. The newspaper bore a reputation for sincerity; prostitute causes wanted to enter it in order to get by association the color of truth. As time passed, more and more disreputable people came to the hotel, so that it lost utterly its old reputation. As time passed, more and more disreputable people came to the hotel, so that it lost utterly its old reputation. As time passed, more and more boldly, suppress more and more brutally, and the public began to perceive. Finally, even the disreputable abandoned the hotel because it no longer covered their intentions. Finally, the corrupt powers fed the newspaper discovered that its word carried no more force, that it was unable to further their causes, and they abandoned it to failure—Will Irwin. --- 26-Room Hotel Telephone 9119 Grant.

The church filled the pulpit morning and evening and a vast crowd greeted their pastor and listened to two elequent sermons delivered by him.

Dr. Morris reports having had a splendid time and feels very much refreshed and he has be gun his work with more zeal and inspiration than ever.

Mrs. Sarah Lee is improving Grace Memorial Presbyterian Church Ephiam Is a Cake Not Turned," was the subject of a very interesting sermon delivered by our pastor, Rev. Trusty last Sunday morning. He emphasized the important truth that secular education divorced from religion did not make men better, but worse, that information was not Christianity; that Christianity began on the inside and worked out that "religion" was not some kind of "religion" and some or it was not worth the name. The sermon was soul-stirring and soul-winning. At the conclusion of it three persons met the church session and united with the church on profession of their faith. The quartet under Robert Lewis made a splendid impression with two beautiful numbers, this being a new feature of the sermons. Miss Blanche Hill has been selected as organist. Mr. Arter will have occasion of the singing next morning. One of our number is doing the work at the church and is showing himself to be a skilled mechanic who does first grade work.

Church Bethel was crowded, last Sunday morning to hear the pastor, Rev. P. A. Scott, D. D. .

The man was happily conceived and came forward and joined the church. In the barber shops and all public business places you can hear people talking, about the wonderful sermon delivered by this young man of God. In the evening his text was Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God." And again another great sermon was listened to. Dr. W. H.

Biss Ridge) The holy communion was celebrated on last Sunday at St. Augustine's Mission to a large number of the communicants. The Rev. Scott Wood preached a most helpful sermon. The choir sang with splendid spirit, and the services were, in every respect, both helpful, edifying and inspiring to all present. Notwithstanding it is mid-summer, the services are all well attended and enthusiastically appreciated. Ref. Wood is planning for greater St. Augustine's. He has the unqualified endorsement of the bishop of the diocese and the missionary committee as evidenced by the following from the Diocese Journal for 1811: "One of the most important boards in the work among the colored people. Their present place of worship is inadequate for the congregation and the priest in charge of this work is asking what shall we do." The Missionary Board would gladly provide an adequate building in a central point of the city it it had the means and confidences this work, to the grazing consideration of the congregation. The committee of the missionary committee made the following annual report to the work. The indebtedness of St. Anne's Mission has been paid, and now our children are working, not waiting to receive what they rightly deserve, the abundant gifts from the Episcopal churches of this city to enable them to build a church, or rather to help them, not to zealous congregation. The reports every all heartily approved by the convention, and the day is not far distant when the congregation of local colored Episcopans will have a well equipped church in when to worship, the true and only God. Then again it will be a most central location for it has a very large and spacious following of both sides of the river. Services continue at 10 a.m. in which the Mr. Brother Goncalvo D. P.ANCE, the superintendent of Barnabas Home for Inundations and Convalescence, will speak. The program is most cordially invited to bear Brother Hance, because he is indeed doing a great work for suffering humanity, and is a friend of all races of men. The confirmation class will meet the first Friday night in September for instruction. J. C. Wiley was royally entertained by the members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew on last Thursday night at the mission. St. Augustine's mission is no longer an experiment. It an established fact in this community for the good of all, and it genius is expansion and the uplift of all men. AVERY MISSION NOTES Our Sunday afternoon, Row.

IS NOT FIT TO LIVE WITH The Genius Always is an Impossible Creature Who Makes Family and Friends Wretched. One of the strangest signs of the times is our universal admiration for geniuses; yet a genius, no matter how you view him, is always an impossible creature. He isn't fit to live with. If he is so unfortunate as to marry, he makes life miserable for his family. If he doesn't marry, he is a care to all his friends. And the probability is that no one will appreciate him in his own age. Yet when we hear that such and such a one is a genius, we experience an instant feeling of envy. Most of us would like to be a genius, if we could have, along with it, our own steady traits. We wouldn't give up our regular income, but if we could be a genius with it, we should like it very well. Lombroso dehales that geniuses are abnormal-degenerate types. Scientists term them in biological words "sports" -athat is, they are exceptions to a rule. They are supposed to see things straight, whereas everybody else is abnormal. Bernard Shaw says that is what is the matter with him. Thomas L. Masson is Lippincott's. THE COURIER Jehoiakim Burns the Prophet's Book Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 13, 1911 Sponsored by This Paper LESSON TENT - Jeremiah 5 HENRY WINDSOR 22-24 Jeremiah's book was written B. C. 60. The Fast day, ninth month of B. C. 82. Jeremiah burns the book soon after the fast. PLACE—Jeremiah. The Temple courts and the king's palace. Nebuchadnezzar besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah carried away captive. Jeremiah under duel flavor. Jeremiah an unwise king. For twenty years Jeremiah had been trying, by oral teachings, to persuade the nation to repent and turn to God, but the people and their rulers had been den' to his warnings. As a last resort, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the Lord commanded the prophet to write down the substance of his exhortations, and thus to focus them in one mighty blow upon the consciences of king and people. Moreover, for some reason Jeremiah was shut up, "restrained" from public utterance, being probably forbidden by the authorities to preach; so that for the time the written word was the only way by which Jeremiah could reach the ears of the people. The chosen amanuensis was Baruch, the son of Norlah, a scribe. The book was not like ours, but was a roll of parchment, consisting of several skins sewed together, the edges cut even, and the whole rolled on wooden rods fastened at each end so that the parchment could be rolled from one to the other. The writing was arranged in columns, each like the page of a book. It must have taken Baruch some months to have written down such prophecies as Jeremiah wished to have read, and which constituted a considerable part of the present book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah sent Baruch to the temple to read the book to the assembled crowds. It was a wintry day. Baruch went up into the chamber of a friendly noble, over a new gateway opening both ways into the inner and outer courts. There, from the window or balcony of the chamber, or from the platform or pillar on which the kings had stood on solenin occasions, he recited the long alternation of lament and invective to the vast congregation. Reading in this way was almost the only way by which the people could become acquainted with the word of God. Few could read. And copies of the law cost a small fortune. The king sent Jehudi, one of his officers, to fetch the roll so that Jeholakim might learn its contents at first hand and not from hearsay. The king sat in the winter house. It seems probable that after Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king snatched the roll from his hands, and, taking the knife used for sharpening the scribe's pens, cut up the roll himself, and cast it into the fire. Sodne think that only the first portion was read, when all the roll was consumed in the fire. But Professor Bennett says that the Hebrew implies that at the end of every three or four columns the king put out his hand for the roll, cut out the portion read, threw it on the fire, and handed the remainder back to Jehudi, repeating the process. The king commanded the arrest of Paruch the scribe and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them, by means of some unknown providence and guidance; or, as usual, by the use of means inspired by God. Shutting the eyes does not ward off the lightning's stroke. Fools, that think that by wringing the neck of the crowing cock they can prevent the coming of the morning. When the word of the Lord came the book was destroyed, but its contents and its truths lived. "Take thee . . . another roll, and write in it." Jeremiah knew what he had said before, and God gave him further revelations. Professor Brown thinks that Baruch's second roll contained the first seventeen chapters of our Jeremiah. "Thou shalt say to Jehokim that the prophecies should certainly come true." Because while they heard the warnings, they hearkened not. This implies that they might have been saved from the threatened evil, if they had repented, as in the case of Nineveh under Jonah's preaching. Otherwise there would have been no use in warning them. The warnings were for the themselves. Attempts to destroy the libble have been made. When men are forbidden to read it, and everything is done to prevent its circulation. The frontispiece of Wycliffe's Bible represents the fire of true Christianity against which its enemies. Satan and infidelity, are blowing with all their might, trying to put it out; but the more they put themselves out of breath, the more brightly the fire burns. Ingersoll's prophecy, twenty-six years ago, was that "in ten years the Bible will not be read." The fact is that vastly more Bibles are issued every year than when that prophecy was uttered, and in more languages. More than 15,000,000 Bibles are issued every year in more than 470 different languages and in hundreds of styles at prices from 25 cents to $10. More copies of the Bible are sold annually than of the "100 best sellers" combined. Those destroy the Bible for some people, who for any reason are the impression that it is not true, diminish its authority, and fill the minds of the young with doubts. And yet every attack has made it read more, and caused it to shine in purer light. Those who disobey and neglect the Bible, refuse to let it be a lamp unto their feet and a light unto their path, who ignore its teachings, and refuse its truths—these destroy the Bible for themselves. But the laws of God move on just the same. Jebolakim was slain. His son was carried in chaion to Babylon. Set up into yourself pillars of the road, place for thyself way-marks; set the heart upon thy way, even upon the way which thou goest—Jeremiah, xxxi, 21. There are men who deliberately abandon the direction of their confidence until they lose all sense of moral responsibility. Their life is like a weathercock that is turned by every breeze. Without sufficient will-power to resist even a mild temptation, they yield on its first approach, and from any direction in which they may have been pursuing their life they will unhesitatingly turn and take an opposite course. These rudderless ships on the sea of life are not few; every one within his individual horizon can hall numbers of them as they drift amply by, without chart or compass to direct their course. Of course, these men have a philosophy of their own to bolster up their peculiar conception of human life. They have their reasons for abandoning duty and for effacing the inattainable distinctions between "thou shalt" and "thou shalt not." Conscience is not binding upon them, and the only injunction they obey is that basely worldly one—never be found out. Their philosophy hinges chiefly on the notion that the individual cannot control his life; that a person's conduct is determined wholly by the worldly influences about him. The matter of responsibility, the sense of duty, is thus lightly disposed of, and the man who should endeavor to rise above the debasing influences of a purely worldly life would be deemed only a fool for his pain. It is against this sham reasoning the prophet warns us in the words that serve as our text. Regardless of worldly influences we must set up the immovable way-marks of true human existence—the dictates of honor, of duty, of the fear of God. We are endowed with free will, and we ourselves mark out the paths we pursue. This is a fundamental moral truth. It destroys the immoral notion that the individual is altogether subject to external influences and he becomes what the world makes him. That relation which some men establish between themselves and their surroundings and which they offer as a palliative for all short-comings cannot reasonably be held to be binding. Man that has reason and free will cannot rely for moral elevation or debasement, for choosing good or evil, upon the mere flow of circumstance. In a normal state a man does not depend on the throw of dice for his bread; can he then depend upon mere chance for the life or death of his very soul? There is no ground whatever for putting the blame one deserves upon the shoulders of society. That is a law, and all life bears it out, that the "soul which has sinned it shall die." This law holds good because free will is the peculiar mark of the human being. In the Biblical allegory, therefore, there was no forgiveness when, on committing the first sin, Adam threw the blame upon Eve and Eve upon the serpent. Virtue and vice are the results of our own work. Our fellow-men have no share in the destiny of our souls. It is sheer cowardice to take off the scarlet robe of guilt and place it on the back of society for a scapegoat. Unsparkingly, as becomes a tree prophet of God, Jeremiah in a single phrase annihilates such false philosophy. "Set up unto yourself pillars of the road," he says, "set thy heart upon thy way." Every man takes the lines of destiny into his own hands. If he sows righteousness, he will reap in his conscience blessings; if he sows the wind, he will reap the whirlwind. He cannot make away with his sense of responsibility. Conscience will not be silenced. At every turn in life man hears the solemn warning, "Set thy heart upon the way which thou goes an echo of the fateful choice he is compelled to make when he has been told at the very beginning: "Behold, I give unto you on this day life, and the good, death and evil." After all has been said about external influences, about the temptations of the world, and the like, the personal equation remains. When we shall have been brought face to face with our ultimate goal, and our hearts have become bared before the searching heavenly judgment, the world will be far removed from us, and we shall stand revealed as the sole authors of the good or evil we have done. This is a very important lesson to hear in mind. We should take to heart the words of the prophet and set up the true way-marks in our life. Our test will then come in the choice we shall make of our points of guidance. Once the choice is made, the die is cast; we generally go on in that direction clear to our journey's end. And so the prophet uses the word which is ordinarily translated by the word "pillar," but which in Hebrew literally means a high pillar. We should be guided by high sins, noble ambitions. Not the indulgence of self, not the acquisition of worldly things, not worldly pump or power is the true measure of life. Our guiding influences should be self-sacrifice, the performance of duty, disinterested service to our fellows and an earnest effort to realize in our life our thought of God. These are the high pillars which we should set up on the way of human life—C. A. Rubenstein, Har Al-Salam Temple FISH-EATING GERMANY.
