DU BOIS GIVES THE FACTS Grappic Account of the Upward Struggle of Ten Million Colored Americans, What They Have Achieved and the Unfavorable Conditions Under Which They Labor Along All Lines. Two-thirds of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols' speech before the universal races congress, recently held in London, was devoted to a comprehensive summary of the history of the Negro race in America. He outlined the conditions under which slavery existed, gave the statistics of population and discussed the figures for health and crime. He quoted the fact of the 2,500 lynchings in the last twenty-five years and showed that only one-quarter of these colored men were even accused of rape. He gave a brief outline of the reconstriction period and dwelt on the fact that the colored legislators, whatever their faults, gave the south the beginning of a public school system, admitted thousands of poor whites to the suffrage who had previously been debarred and abolished many barbarous forms of punishment. He analyzed the occupations of the Negroes of today thus—2,000,000 laborers, divided into 1,250,000 farm laborers, 500,000 day laborers and 200,000 washerwomen. These he called "the semisubmerged class, some held in debt peonage and paid small wages. There are 1,235,000 workingmen, divided into 125,000 skilled artisans, 575,000 semiskilled workers and 600,000 servants. This is the emerging group. They are handicapped by poor training and race prejudice, but they are push- DR. W. E. M. DU BOIS. ing forward, saving something and educating their children as far as possible." There are 250,000 independents divided into 20,000 farmers, 40,000 professional men and 10,000 merchants. "This," he said, "is the leading group of Negro Americans. The mass of them have common school training, and there appress 5,000 college trained men. They are accumulating property and educating their children. Their advance is opposed by a bitter and growing race prejudice." After giving the figures for the accumulation of property Dr. Du Bols took up the present situation, which he analyzed as follows: The American Negro problem is the question of the status of the 20,000,000 Americans of Negro origin, to be remembered that these persons are Americans by birth and descent. They represent for the most part four or five American born generations, being in that respect one of the most original American groups in the land. The groves are not barbarians. They are as in mass, poor and ignorant, but they are growing rapidly in both wealth and intelligence, and larger and larger numbers of them have the rights and privileges of American citizens as a matter of undoubted desert taining 15 per cent of the races the border states, containing 15 per cent, and the north and west, containing 10 per cent. They receive a distinct standard of justice in the courts and are especially liable to be victims, are required to far as possible to be acquitted, are required to train, street cars, lifesavers, and inadmissible to pay equal prices for information and补偿. They are often unable to protect their homes from invasion, their women from theft, their children from abduction, are required to pay medical facilities, life-saving and literature, which they may not enter are given numerous educational facilities and sometimes none at all; are liable to personal health images they appear as secondary property or show reference to which they are not familiar. To many of these disabilities there are personal and local exceptions. In cities, for instance, the elicits to defend the home, get an education and somewhat better wages is greater and mob violence less frequent. Then there are always some personal exception—cases of help From Left to Right—Standing, Al Jackson, a former policeman; Stanley Howe, who was guarding the lynched man at the hospital; Robert Allison, who is now chief of police for Worth Brothers Company, and Edgar Rice, the murdered man, who was also a member of that force. —Courtesy Pittsburgh Dispatch. and courtesy, of justice in the courts of good schools. These are, however, exceptions, and, as a rule, all Negroes, no matter what their training, possessions or desert, are subjected to the above restrictions. In many cases, these restrictions there are much good will and kindness between the races and especially much personal charity and help. How the Race Is Distributed. The 15 per cent of the Negro population living on the border states suffer a little less restriction. They have some right of voting, are better able to defend their homes, are less discriminated against in expenditure, and are more likely to cities their schools are much better, and public insult is less noticeable. In the north the remaining 10 per cent of the Negro population is legally undiscriminated against and may attend schools. As a matter of fact, however, they made in most communities to feel that they are undesirable. They are either refused accommodation at hotels, restaurants and theaters or received reluctantly. Their treatment in churches and general schools is not tolerated. John. Intermarriage with whites brings extracism and public disfavor, and in courts Negroes often suffer undeservedly. Common labor and moral work is open to them, but avenues above this in skilled work are limited. They serve their own race are extremely difficult to enter, and there is much discrimination in wages. Mok violence has become not infrequent in layer years. There are here also many exceptional cases, instances of preferment in the island of Nicaragua, where the always some little social intercourse On the whole, however, the Negro in the north is an ostracised person who finds it difficult to make a good living or spend his earnings with pleasure. In the south, there has grown up a Negro world in America which has the own economic and social life, its churches, schools and newspapers; its literature, public opinion and deaths. This life is largely unnoticed and unknown in America, and travelers miss it almost entirely. The average American in the past made at least a pretense of excluding the discrimination against Negroes on the ground of ignorance and poorness and their tendencies to impure and disease. The mass is still poor and unlettered, it is admitted by all today that the Negro is rapidly developing a larger and larger class of intelligent property holding more land, more property and more race lines are being drawn which involve the treatment of civilization in an unclevil manner. This philosophy the thinking Negroes actually combat. They claim that the racial differences between white and black in the United States offer no essential barrier to the races living together on terms of mutual respect and helpfulness. They claim that the large amalgamation of the races already accomplished has produced degenerates in spite of the shapely character of their unions. On the other hand, they deny that the race identity of either race through intermarriage. They claim that it should be possible for a civilized black man to be treated as an American citizen without harm to the republic and that the modern world must learn to treat races as equals if it expects advance. They claim that the Negro race in America has more than vindicated its ability to assimilate modern culture. No one has ever said that African Americans to defend the flag in every war in which the United States has been engaged. They are a most important part of the American culture and they have furnished a number of men of ability in politics, literature and art. NATIONAL BAPTIST B. Y. P. U.

PITTSBURG PA.. AUGUST 19, 1911. Organization Named For Former Slave, Who Devoted Many Years to Uplift Among the Heathen In Africa, Was Founded by the Rev. William M. Alexander—Work of Woman's Auxiliary. Wilmington, N. C.—The fifteenth annual session of the Lott Carey Baptist foreign mission convention will begin in the Central Baptist church, Wilmington, on Wednesday, Aug. 30, and continue until Sunday, Sept. 3. Rev. Dr. G. W. Moore, pastor of the church, has about completed arrangements for the entertainment of the delegates, who will come from a number of states. Besides taking up the primary work for which it was organized, the convention will also discuss civic questions affecting the interests of REV. DR. W. M. ALEXANDER, both races, especial emphasis being laid upon the difference in conditions in the old and new south. The convention had its real beginning in a suggestion made by Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander, pastor of Sharon Baptist church, Baltimore, that some special work should be done for education and missions in Africa. A number of ministers met at Shiloh Baptist church, Washington, in 1897, and the Lott Carey association was organized. Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Brown of Winston Salem, N. C., was elected president, a position which he has held ever since. The convention is named for Lott Carey, who was born a slave in Charles City, Va. He went to Richmond at an early age and joined the First Baptist church, which was then composed of white and colored persons. He attended school for an awhile and was later licensed to preach and soon thereafter evinced a desire to do mission work in Africa. With the proceeds from extra work in a tobacco factory he purchased the freedom of his wife and two children in 1822 and then went to Africa. The convention has raised $40,000 for mission and educational work in Africa. Five missionaries have been stationed in the dark continent and over 2,100 converts baptized by them. Two missionaries died on the field. Ber. C. C. Boone has served in the Kongo five years. He graduated from Leonard Medical College. Raleigh, N. C., this year and will soon return to Africa as a medical missionary. A woman's auxiliary headed by Mrs. L. A. Hope, has also rendered great service. There are more than 100 auxiliaries in the various churches in the convention, and their day at the annual meetings is always a great occasion. The remaining officers of the auxiliary are Mrs. A. L. McGulm, Baltimore, corresponding secretary; Miss M. E. W. milson, secretary; Mrs. M. L. Penn, treasurer, and Miss S. F. Eaton, W. M. Moss, Mrs. M. R. Johnson, Mrs. U. S. Brown, Mrs. A. L. Somerville, Mrs. A. Trull, Mrs. B. G. Collins and Mrs. R. B. Yancey, vice presidents. The convention's success is largely due to the work of its corresponding A LARGE MASS MEETING HELD IN DEPRICATION OF COATESVILLE HORROR AT JOHN WESTEY CHURCH Capt. Frank Stewart Made Telling Speech—Attorney J. W. Holmes and A. T. Hall Do Effective Work on Resolution Committee. To express their indignation at the atrocious lynching at Coatesville, Pa. of the Negro Zachariah Taylor, last Sunday, a great mass meeting of colored citizens of Pittsburgh was held at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, Arthur street, on Wednesday evening, August 16. Mr. Daniel Washington, presided. The lecture room was crowded. At first the affair threatened to terminate in a farce, as things seemed to have been cut and dried beforehand, and there was an evident lack of understanding on the part of the audience of what the meeting really proposed to accomplish. A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions under the leadership of G. W. Kinard. Sufficient to say that with such a chairman it brought in a set of weak-knee apologies for resolutions that so disgusted the audience that they at once rejected them. and praying for reform but be up and doing. Mr. Jackson spoke forceful of the crying need of acting now to not so much—resolving." "Go ahead appoint the man to represent us. Raise the money without delay. Mr. A. T. Hall made a few remarks to the point. Attorney Frank R. Stewart made the speech of the evening showing them that all the talk and bickering back and forward was a foolish waste of time. He explained the object of the meeting to provide money to avenge the foul blot on the state of Pennsylvania. His speech was forceful, manly and direct. He held the meeting well in hand and just then took on the predominant thought from which they were prone to stray at intervals. He said secure an abusive man after the defense put him on the job and collect funds for the same. He modestly declined to Chairman Dan Washington then showed excellent judgment in adding to the committee on resolutions. Attorney J. Welfred Homes and A. T. Hall. Mr. Hall drafted a strong set of resolutions which were unanimously adopted and the object of the meeting was to raise money to send veterans to Pennsylvania and Allegheny county to Governor Terry to present resolutions concerning the lynching. Many heated speeches were made. Rev. Broadax Smith in characteristic vein voiced the sentiment of the occasion. He said in part: "The white people are going to unload the colored people. The time has now come for us to do something to stand up like men, resent wrongs, demand rights. Let one wrong after another go untreated and after awhile no one will be safe from the diabolical devility meted out to the unanimate victim of the Coatesville affair. We have had too much mourning and praying. Pray so well and good by keeping your trusty muster near and depend upon it. Quit mourning MRS. L. A. HOPE, secretary, Dr. Alexander, upon whose shoulders the greater part of the planning and responsibility for the work has rested. He has been pastor of Charon church, Baltimore, for the past twenty-six years. He has been prominent in a number of movements for racial uplift and is president of the Maryland Suffrage league, which has been fighting disfranchisement since 1905.

He said secure an able man to look after the defense, put him on the job and collect funds for the same. He modestly declined to act in this capacity himself. Keep your eye upon the governor in the office by view one of our leading dailies elicited only milk-warm expression from the governor. His excuse as to "human nature" is disgusting. It was decided to appoint a committee to prepare for a big mass meeting in which they hope every race loving and true minded citizen of Pittsburgh will participate. Some of the expense was raised in a collection. The meeting is to be held Sunday, August 20, at Bethel A. M. E. church, Wylie avenue, at 3 o'clock pm. Notices have been sent to all of the Negro churches in Allegheny county and an immense crowd is expected. There will be no more resoluturing," but an earnest attempt will be made to raise cash to send off the committee of three and to decide on the outrage county to take in order to make sure that the perpetrators of the outrage are not allowed to escape full justice. Governor Terer has been asked for a date at which he will entertain the resolution committee. DR. JACKSON MAKES DISCOVERY ATTRACTING ATTENTION IN MEDICAL CIRCLES BY DECLARING HE HAS CURE FOR RHEUMASTISM-NEW YORK MEDICAL JOURNAL COMMENTS ON NEGRO SURGEON'S FINDINGS. Philadelphia, Pa.-Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, the well-known surgeon of this city and head of the Mercy Hospital, is attracting attention in medical circles by announcing that he has discovered a cure for acute articular rheumatism, and in the current number of the New York Medical Journal tells of his experiments and findings. Dr. Jackson refers in his article to five cases which turned out satisfactorily under his method of treatment. In commenting on Dr. Jackson's discovery the New York Medical Journal says in part: "There are few young practitioners who have not had the chagrin of imagining, at one time or another, that they had accomplished a cure in some long-standing case by the exhibition of some recent and well-advertised remedy, only to see their patients sink back into their former condition after a few days or weeks. The treatment, however, of rheumatic fever described in the issue of the Journal by Dr. Algernon Brashear Jackson, and for which he is careful not to claim too much, has nothing mysterious or magical in its nature. Our readers will join us in the hope that the hypodermic administration of magnesium sulphate will prove in this wretched disease. If not a specific, at least sufficiently analgetic and illuminant to give comfort to thousands. In speaking of his discovery Dr. Jackson says that his article in the Medical Journal is a preliminary report and that he hopes in the near future to present to the public a more careful study of his method for cur-rheumatism. State Fair Association to Hold Big Exhibition in Bonham. Revival of Time Honored Custom Among Afro-Americans Cause Great Enthusiasm - Noted Educators and Statesmen of Both Rape Co-operate With Business Men - Outline of Program. Böhmig, Tex. - This is not the largest town in Texas, nor is it reckoned as one of the most progressive. Nevertheless there will be held here Aug. 23-27 one of the largest, not the largest, enterprises ever undertaken by the colored people of the state. From time to time there have been held, fairs, but other than the old Corsican fair none of them has assumed the proportions of a state fair. For nearly fifteen years the Corsican fair was successfully conducted, but after the death of the secretary and its most aggressive promoter the fair was discontinued, much to the regret of the colored people of the state. In 1910 an attempt was made to have a fair at Marlin, a famous health resort, but in point of attendance it was not a success. Now a number of progressive north Texans have decided to renew the state fair proposition and have offered excellent inducements. Formerly our people held what was known as the Fannin county fair. That association is actively co-operating with the State Fair association, and preparations are under, way to entertain the largest crowd ever attending a fair in this state. The officers of the State Fair association are: Hon. D. S. Plittman, Longview Tex.; president; secretary-treasurer, C. S. Smith, Larue; vice presidents, J. H. McKnight, Sam Borders, S. G. Johnson, C. T. Scott. An experienced horseman of Waxahachie is manager of the races, and Rev. J. R. Swaincey of Denton is general manager of the fair. S. C. Johnson of this city is assistant manager. On the first day of the fair an impressive parade will be held. In nine decorated carriages drawn by pure white horses the queens, elected by as many counties, will ride, and the display is expected to be the most magnificent of its kind ever attempted in this state. Including a girl's band from Cleburne, there will be six brass bands in the parade on the opening day. The feature of the afternoon program of the first day is the automobile race by the white automobilist of Bonham. Be it said in appreciation of their assistance that the white people here are enthusiastic concerning the fair and are doing everything possible to see that it will be a success. Numerous attractions, both free and paid, have been produced, and the indications are that the exhibit showing the industrial progress of our people will be the most elaborate ever collected and exhibited. In order to obtain an improvement in the corn grown in this and other states the department of agriculture of the national government has had its field men organize boys' corn clubs. The colored boys of the state have not only local organizations, but a state club, and many of the well known farmers take an active interest in the boys. The State Corn club, with officers as follows, will actively participate in the fair this year, and a special day has been arranged for the youngsters: William Nash, president; Haywood Gentry and M. M. Morse, vice presidents; C. A. Iverson, F. M. G.; D. W. Dehony, R. G.; J. Walls, R. G., and R. D. Davis, P. C. Among the prominent speakers who will be present and make addresses during the fair are: Hon. H. L. Blackshear, the noted educator and principal of the Texas State Normal and Industrial institute of Prairieview, and the Hon. R. L. Smith, president of the Farmers' Improvement society and the last colored representative in the Texas legislature. The third day of the fair has been designated as the F. I. S. day, and members of the society from all over Texas are expected to be present. Afro-Americans Honored in London. On the evening of the second day's session of the universal races congress, recently held in London, Mrs. Alma Black, member of the American Peace Arbitration league of New York, entertained a large number of distinguished guests, among whom were Lord and Lady Weardale, William Phillips, secretary to the United States embassy; Admiral Honbridge, Professor Sørensen of Wilberforce university and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rettain. There were over a dozen other colored American present besides Professor Sørenson. Rev. Dr. J. H. McMullen For Bishop. Among the prominent candidates for the bishopship of the A. M. E. Zion church is Rev. Dr. J. H. McMullen, the successful pastor of Little Zion A. M. E. church in New York. Dr. McMullen is considered good timber and is in the forefront of the candidates for the Zion episcopacy. He stands well in the New York conference of which he is a member, and has had an interesting career as a churchman. FIVE CENTS A COPY President Taft Asks Ambassador Not to His Station. STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS FURNIBS HAS MADE A FINE RECORD IN HAITI: Washington, D. C.—It is announced at the White House that President Taft has definitely decided to retain Minister Henry W. Furnias, of Indianapolis, Ind., as our representative in Haiti. The president has reached this decision not only because of the strong desire of prominent colored people throughout, the country that Dr. Furnias be retained, but especially because the young man has made such a fine record in Haiti as a diplomat, statesman and master of the large public questions that the people in New York, Chicago, Boston and all of the great metropolitan centers of the United States, as well as those residing in Haiti, who have financial interests involved, are practically unmanual in their demand that Minister Furnias remain at his post at Port au Prince. He has assisted American commerce in various legitimate ways, and at the same time has helped the Haitian people by placing them in touch with HENRY W. FURNISS. the latest and best productions of the mills and factories of this country, and has preserved the spirit of traternity between the two republics in the face of many trying ordeals. It is very encouraging to note that the president has recognized the worth of Minister Furniss in this signal manner, and that he has been so gracious in the matter of following the wishes of those most interested in the welfare of Haiti. Minister Furious has been at all times in hearty accord with the broad and far-reaching policies of Secretary Knox, and the state department says that he has made a super record in Haiti, contending that it would be an injustice to all concerned to permit him to sever his connection with the diplomatic service of the nation at any time in the near future, in view of the very excellent reasons why he should remain in the field where he has been so useful. ARNST REGARDED AS "WHITE HOPE." New York.—The real live "white hope" that has a possible chance to defeat Jack Johnson for the title of heavyweight champion of the world is Richard Arnst, the champion smaller of the world. At least Australians are pinning their faith to Arnst, and are predicting, now that he has entered the list as a boxer, that he will fulfill all promises and wrest the title from its present holder. Arnst recently accepted favorably the suggestions by many Australians that he take up boxing and become a claimist for the title. He has started training, although he is an adept with the gloves. It was the showing he made in private and his powerful physique that caused Australians to regard him favorably as a possible heavyweight champion. He weighs 196 pounds. Before becoming champion sculler of the world and beating all the best oarsmen brought against him, Arnust was a bicycle rider. It was while riding the wheel that he developed his great muscles and gained much of the endurance which later stood him in stead as an oarsman. IS THIS TRUE? If a ten-pound fish is put into a tub of water, does that add ten pounds to the vessel and its contents? Let George M. Myers, some fisherman, answer that question. "Your first incarnation is to answer yes," says Myers, "but do not be too fast. Yes is the correct answer only when the fish touches the side of the tub. When the fish floats clear of the sides the vessel and its contents weigh just what it did before the fish was put in."

A NARRATIVE OF METROPOLITAN LIFE THE THIRD DEGREE BY CHARLES KLEIN AND ARTHUR HORNBLOW ILLUSTRATIONS BY RAY WALTER$ 8YNOP818. Howard Jeffries, banker's son, under the evil influence of Robert Underwood a fellow-student at Yale, leads a life of dissipation, marries a prince in the价钱 of his own death and is signed by his father. He tries to give work and falls. CHAPTER I Continued. "I wish I could help you, old man. As it is, my own salary barely serves to keep me in neckwear. Wall street's great fun, but it doesn't pay much; that is, not unless you play the game yourself." Howard smiled feebly as he replied: "Nonsense—I wouldn't accept help of that sort. I'm not reduced to soliciting charity yet. I guess I'd prefer the river to that. But if you hear of anything, keep me in mind." The athlete made no response. He was apparently lost in thought when suddenly he blurted out: "Say, Jeffries, you haven't got any money, have you—say, a couple of thousand dollars!" Howard stared at the questioner ab if he doubted his sanity. "Two thousand dollars!" he gasped. "Do you suppose that I'd be wearing uphair leather looking for a job, if I had $2,000?" Coxe looked disappointed as he replied: "Oh, of course, I understand you haven't it on you, only I thought you might be able to raise it." "Why do you ask?" inquired Howard, his curiosity aroused. Coxe looked around to see if any one was listening. Then in a whisper he said: "It's a clutch. If you had $2,000, you and I could make a snug little fortune. Don't you understand? In my office I get tips. I'm on the inside. I know in advance what the big men are going to do. When they start to move a certain stock up, I'm on the job. Understand? If you had $2,000, I could raise as much, and we'd pool our capital, starting in the business ourselves—on a small scale, of course. If we hit it right we might make a nice income." Howard's mouth watered. Certainly that was the kind of life he liked best. The feverish excitement of gambling; the close association with rich men, the promise of a luxurious style of living—all this appealed to him strongly. But what was the use? Where could he get $2,000? He couldn't go to his father. He shook his head. "I am afraid not, old sport," he said as they left the saloon and he held out his hand to say good-by. "But I bear it in mind, and if things improve, I'll look you up. So long!" Climbing wearily up the dirty statue of the elevated railroad, he bought a ticket with one of the few nickels remaining in his pocket, and taking a seat in a north-bound train started on his trip back to Harlem. The day was overcast, rain threatened. A pall of mingled smoke and mist hung over the entire city. From the car window as the train wound its serpentine course in and out the maze of grimy offices, shops and tenements, everything appeared drab, dirty and squalid. New York was seen at its ugliest. Ensconced in a cross-seat, his chin leaning heavily on his hand, Howard gazed defectedly out of the window. The depressing outlook was in keeping with his own state of mind. How would the adventure end? Reconciliation with his father was out of the question. Letters sent home remained without response. He wasn't surprised. He knew his pater too well to expect that he would re-lent so soon. Besides, if the old man was so infernally proud, he'd show him he had some pride, too. He'd drown himself before he'd go down on his knees, whining to be forgiven. His father was dead wrong, anyway. His marriage might have been foolish; Annie might be beneath him socially. She was not educated and her father wasn't any better than he ought to be. She did not talk correctly, her manners left much to be desired, at times he was secretly ashamed of her. But her bringing up was her misfortune, not her fault. The girl herself was straight as a die. She had a heart of gold. She was far more intelligent, far more likely to make him a happy home than some stuck-up, idle society girl who had no thought for anything save money, dress and show. Perhaps if he had been less honorable and not married her, his father would have, thought more highly of him. If he'd ruined the girl, no doubt he would have been welcomed home with open arms. Pahaw! He might be a poor, weak fool, but thank God, they couldn't reproach him with that. Annie had been loyal to him throughout. He'd stick to her through thick and thin. As the train swept round the curve at Fifty-third street and started on its long, straight run up the West side, his mind reverted to Robert Underwood. He had seen his old associate only since leaving college. He ran across him one day on Fifth avenue. Underwood was coming out of a curio shop. He explained hurriedly that he had left Yale, and when asked about his future plans talked vaguely of going in for art. His master was frigid, and nervous—the attitude of the man who fears he may be approached for a small loan. He was evidently well aware of the change in his old associate's fortunes, and having squeezed all he could out of him, had no further use for him. It was only when he had disappeared that Howard suddenly remembered a loan of $250 which Underwood had never repaid. Some time later Howard learned that he occupied apartments at the exclusive and expensive Astruria, where he was living in great style. He went there determined to see him and demand his money, but the card always came back "not at home." Underwood had always been a mystery to Howard. He knew him to be an inexperate gambler and a man entirely without principle. No one knew who his family were or where he came from. His source of income, too, was always a puzzle. At college he was always hard up, borrowing right and left and forgetting to pay, yet he always succeeded in living on the fat of the land. His apartments in the Astruria cost a small fortune: he dressed well, drove a smart turnout and entertained lavishly. He was not identified with any particular business or profession. On leaving college he became interested in art. He frequented the important art sales and soon got his name in the newspapers as an authority on art matters. His apartment was literally a museum of European and oriental art. On all sides were paintings by old masters, rare ceramics, enamels, statuary, antique furniture, bronzes, etc. He passed for a man of wealth, and mothers with marriageable daughters, con- ``` A "I Wab I Could Help You, Old Man." sidering him an eligible young bachelor, hastened to invite him to their homes, none of them conscious of the danger of letting the wolf slip into the lams' fold. What a strange power of fascination, mused Howard as the train jogged along, men of Underwood's bold and reckless type wield, especially over women. Their very daring and unscrupulousness seems to render them more attractive. He himself at college had fallen entirely under the man's spell. There was no doubt that he was responsible for all his troubles. Underwood possessed the uncanny gift of being able to bend people to his will. What a fool he had made of him at the university! He had been his evil genius, there was no question of that. But for meeting Underwood he might have applied himself to serious study, left the university with honors and he now a respectable member of the community. He remembered with a smile that it was through Underwood that he had met his wife. Some of the fellows hinted that Underwood had known her more intimately than he had pretended and had only passed her on to him because he was tired of her. He had nalled that as a lie. Annie, he could swear, was as good a girl as ever breathed. ? He couldn't explain Underwoods influence over him. He had done with him what he chose. He wondered why he had not tried to resist. The truth was Underwood exercised a strange, subtle power over him. He had the power to make him do everything he wanted him to do, no matter how foolish or unreasonable the request. Every one at college used to talk about it. One night Underwood invited all his classmates to his rooms and made him cut up all kinds of capers. He at first refused, point blank—but Underwood got up and, standing directly in front of him, gazed steadily into his eyes. Again he commanded him to do these ridiculous, degrading things. Howard felt himself weakening. He was suddenly seized with the feeling that he must obey. Amid roars of laughter he recited the entire alphabet standing on one leg, he crowded like a rooster, he hopped like a toad, and he crawled abjectly on his belly like a snake. One of the fellows told him afterward that he had been hypnotized. He had laughed at it then as a good joke, but now he came to think of it, perhaps it was true. Possibly he was a subject. Anyway he was glad to be rid of Underwood and his unaccent influence. The train stopped with a jerk at his station and Howard rode down in the THE COURIER. elevator to the street. Crossing Eighth avenue, he was going straight home when suddenly he halted. The glitter and tempting array of bottles in a corner saloon window tempted him. He suddenly felt that if there was one thing he needed in the world above all others it was another drink. True, he had had more than enough already. But that was Coxe's fault. He had invited him and made him drink. There couldn't be any harm in taking another. He might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. By the time he emerged from the saloon his speech was thick and his step uncertain. A few minutes later he was painfully climbing up the rickety stairs of a cheap-looking flat house. As he reached the top floor a cheerful voice called out: "Is that you, Howard, dear?" CHAPTER II. A young woman hurried out of one of the apartments to greet Howard. She was a vivacious brunette of medium height, intelligent looking, with good features and fine teeth. It was not a doll face, but the face of a woman who had experienced early the hard knocks of the world, yet in whom adversity had not succeeded in wholly subduing a naturally buoyant, amiable disposition. There was determination in the lines above her mouth. It was a face full of character, the face of a woman who by sheer dint of dogged perseverance might accomplish any task she cared to set herself. A smile of pleasure greeted in her eyes as she inquired eagerly: "Well, dear, anything doing?" Howard shook his head for all response and a look of disappointment crossed the young wife's face. "Say, that's tough, isn't it?" she exclaimed. "The janitor was here again for the rent. He says they'll serve us with a dispossess. I told him to chase himself. I was that mad." A man in a suit stands confidently, his hand on his hip, with a cigarette in his mouth. He is surrounded by a bustling city scene, with buildings, a street, and a train in the background. Annie's vocabulary was emphatic, rather than choice. Entirely without education, she made no pretense at being what she was not and therein perhaps lay her chief charm. As Howard stooped to kiss-her, she said reproachfully. "You've been drinking again, Howard. You promised me you wouldn't." The young man made no reply. With an impatient gesture he passed on into the flat and flung himself down in a chair in the dining room. From the adjoining kitchen came a welcome odor-of cooking. "Dinner ready?" he demanded. "I'm devilish hungry." "Yes, dear, just a minute." replied his wife from the kitchen. "There's some nice Irish stew, just what you like." The box like hole where Howard sat awaiting his meal was the largest room in a flat which boasted of "fire and bath." There was a bedroom of equally diminutive proportions and a parlor with wall paper so loud that it talked. There was scarcely enough room to swing a cat around. The thin walls were cracked, the rooms were carpetless. Yet it showed the care of a good housekeeper. Floors and windows were clean, the cover on the spotless. The furnishings were as meager as they were ingenuous. With their slender purse they had been able to purchase only the bare necessities—a bed, a chair or There Was a Reason. ```markdown ``` When a negro was arrested the other day for wandering around the streets, he wore one of those invincible smiles. When he was taken before Magistrate Briggs he was still smiling. "What's your name?" asked the magistrate. "Ah don't know, sah," smiled the negro. "Where do you live?" "Ah don't know, sah." "Where do you work?" "At the Tem hotel, sah." The magistrate Thought that perhaps there was some truth in the negro's place of employment, so he thought he would see if the negro two, a dining room table, a few little en utilisants. When they wanted to sit in the parlor they had to carry a chair from the dining room; when meal times came the chairs had to travel back again. A soap box turned upside down and neatly covered with chips did duty a dreser in the bedroom, and with a few photographs and tacks they had managed to impart an aesthetic appearance to the parlor. This place cost the huge sum of $235 a month. It might just as well have cost $'00 for all Howard's ability to pay it. The past month's rent was long ove. due and the janitor looked more irasolent every day. But they did not. care. They were young and life was still before them. Presently Annie came in carrying a steaming dish of stew, which she laid on the table. As she helped Howard to a plate full she said: "So you had no luck again this morning?" Howard was too busy eating to answer. As he gulped down a huge piece of bread, he groused: "Nothing, as usual—name old story, nothing doing." Annie sighed. She had been given this answer so often that it would have surprised her to hear anything else. It meant that their hard head-to-mouth struggle must go out. She said nothing. What was the use? It would never do to discourage Howard. She tried to make light of it. "Of course it isn't easy. I quite understand that. Never mind, dear. Something will turn up soon. Where did you go? Whom did you see? Why didn't you let drink aloos when you promised me you would?" "That was Cone's fault," blurted out Howard, always ready to blame others for his own shortcomings. "You remember Cone! He was at Yale when I was. A big, fair fellow with blue eyes. He pulled stroke in the 'varsity boat race, you remember!" "I think I do," replied his wife, indifferently, as she helped him to more stew. "What did he want? What's he doing in New York?" "He's got a fine place in a broker's office in Wall street. I felt ashamed to let him see me low down like this. He said that I could make a good deal of money if only I had a little "apital. He knows everything going a in Wall street. If I went in with him I'd be on Easy street." "How much would it require?" "Two thousand dollars." The young wife gave a sigh as she answered: "I'm afraid that's a day dream. Only your father could give you such an amount and you wouldn't go to him, would you?" "Not if we hadn't another crust in the house," snapped Howard savagely. "You don't want me to, do you?" he asked looking up at her quickly. "No, dear," she answered calmly. "I have certainly no wish that you should humble yourself. At the same time I am not selfish enough to want to stand in the way of your future. Your father and stepmother hate me, I know that. I am the cause of your separation from your folks. Ne doubt your father would be very willing to help you if you would consent to leave me." Howard laughed as he replied: "Well, if that's the price for the $2,000 I guess I'll go without it. I wouldn't give you up for a million times $3,000!" Annie stretched her hand across the table. "Really?" she said. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Engineering In Hospitala. Engineering in Hospitals Practically all the important informaries and hospitals in England have their own electric generating stations, and the size of the installations would surprise the majority of engineers. The equipment has to be designed with unusual care, owing to the special conditions which prevail in hospital work. Even where a public supply is available, the use of an independent system is justified on account of the security which it gives against failure of current at a critical moment. The installations are used for lighting, heating, ventilating, telephoneing and other purposes, and many hospitals have laudries operated electrically. One county asylum has its own private electric railway for conveying supplies from the nearest railway station. The Duration of Dreams The Duration of Dreams. Something regarding the duration of dreams can be gathered from this experience of a man who, on sitting down for a dental operation, took gas and dreamed. He saw himself finish his work, go to the club, leave for the station, run for the train and miss it. He returned to his club and reclined on a settee in the library. There he passed a miserable, restless night, getting gradually colder and colder as the fire died down, and with a pain gradually growing about his head and face from the hardness of his couch. Five o'clock in the morning came, and the steward recused him to say that the club must now be closed. The sleeper got up feeling very stiff—to find that the steward was his dentist, and that the night's adventures has lasted exactly 42 seconds. knew any of the students in the college near this particular hotel. "Do you know any of the students at Tem college?" "No, sah." answered the negro, his smile bigger than ever. "Ah nebbest goos in de bar!"—Philadelphia Times. Butter and Microbes Butter is an excellent breeding place for bacteria which tend to decompose it until it is useless as food, unless it is kept in a cold place. Salt also retards their growth, but has this disadvantage; that it makes the decomposition difficult to detect either by taste or smell.

THOMPSON, Pre) 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 no many people in St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to initiate "PORO" HARB GROWER is the best proof of the merits of "PORO." We were the first to secure in the business of growing the hair we required 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 exclusively by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and I alone know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From 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 the half 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 guarantee it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "PORO." It stops the fallage and starts the hair to growing at once.

The dead wave of 19th law has invaded the enwidened borders of Pennsylvania, and the fair State suffers a severe fall from her historic place of honor. In a little town called Coatesville, so called 'respectable, citizens' have lowered themselves to the status of human *pitures* and with a grim determination to mock the law have sown the first seeds of outlawry in the State of Pennsylvania. A church congregation, fresh from the service of God, laid aside their garments of false Christianity, and joined the mob leaders with an unprecedented zeal, all alike beent upon feeding upon the blood of a self-faceless. If he did confess, gun-snaked Negro, who had violated the law. Nor did the mob lack of courage from the officers of the law who stood by and actually save the match applied to the victim bound to the inflamable cot of strang. Think of the wives, mothers and sisters of the irrespectable families of Corsville standing at the stone as witnesses to the dastardly outrage. And it is because some of the irrespectable men of Corsville are implicated that arrests have been delayed. The scene of that brutal burning begats all description; it surpasses anything we have heard from the hell holes of Georgia, Pennsylvania, the greatest State in all the Union, takes the lead in crime. And what will be done about it? The Cover- nor expresses himself but utterly opposed to such action, and promises punishment to the full extent of the law to all participants. What will he do to defend the name of the Great State of which he is Governor? The results will be awaited with anxiety. As Negroes we naturally feel discouraged when we see the law ignored and one of our own members thus savagely disposed of by members of a race boasting of intelligence, self-respect and above all a knowledge of Christianity. But it is done; and all earth could not alter or change the results. Our hope lies in the lasting fact that God is not dead; that vengeance is His; that He will repay. Under the light of recent incidents, he must be a brave man who will say that the white man has not reached his intellectual and moral zenith. A brief survey of the history made by the white man in the last six weeks is sufficient. His course is directed downward. He mocks the church, smothers morality with his money, and laughs God to scorn in his ever increasing greed to to satisfy his base designs. Peace Treaties. International Compacts, and war preventatives will never save any people whose social, moral and spiritual life feeds upon human carcasses. OUR LOSS AS WELL. While Pittsburgh as a community sustains irreparable loss in the death of Miss Nannie Macrell, there are Negro students of the city who feel as keenly as any one that their true and tried benefactor and friend has departed. In many walks of life in our city are to be found young Nestor men and women who received their early training at the impartial hands of Miss Mackrell, and they are sustained in their various positions and callings by the wholesome instructions imparted to them by this large hearted and altruistic woman. --- She was kind, gentle but positive, and above all impartial in her efforts to distribute to all alike that touch of human kindness to common to herself. In the bosom of those who sat on her feet will linger long a sweet memory of the Miss Marellick who was, as she was called, everybody's friend. PITTSBURGH TAKE NOTICE. We note with satisfaction that a Mayor in a certain Western town but an art to discrimination against Negroes in Chap Houses and Restaurants is informing the keepers that their signs "colored trade" not solicited" were against the law of the land, and had to come down. It is barely out of place to suggest right at this juncture that our own Mayor Mago may have something of this kind to do when the National Baptist Convention meets here in September. The Mayor and the Chamber of Commerce invited the Convention here more than a year ago, and the 20,000 visitors are coming on the strength of that hearty invitation. These people must eat, while here, and it is hoped that our City Executive will see to it that the Restaurant and Lunch Proprietors do not discriminate at their, counters and Three Negroes lynched in one day. The Republic is tottering. We wonder li, this is an inducement offered by Uncle Sam to get Negro soldiers to enlist or services in the Philippines? Really, we are forced to elect the lesser of two evils. Go to the front and be shot in a uniform, or remain at home and be shot in overalls. We prefer the army. The Grand Jury of Heprico counts.

Mr. Wright is satisfied to be the manager, and concedes the eldorship to the man best fitted for the job, Dr. Tanner. With this question settled, the Recorder may again settle down to business. DAILY: PRESS EDITORIAL EXCERPTS ON COATES-VILLE LYNCHING. FITTJSURGH LEADER: Contestville, Pa. needs a lesson that will last as long as Contestville stays on the map of Pennsylvania. The loftily friendless killing of a negro, wounded to helplessness, by a mob of men and women, is one of the toughest crimes the world has ever known. And the worst part of it is that the men who tortured the puttiingly helpless negro to a horrible death, and the women whoood-hoooded them, are pusified. News reports of the inhuman human alive take pains to explain that the acts was not that or a senileless mob, drunk with liquor, turned into savages by reason, of that, but of sober, "respectable" men." Gunity as may be, white or black the time must never come to the law of the mon, especially when it deals out such devilish tortures as that of the poor black man at Coatesville. With this blot upon our state, it is about time for the people of the north to quirky talking about the people of the south for their willingness to resist to lynch law. Let Pennsylvania make such an exaggerated "respectable" mob of Coatesville as will put an end to lynching in this state forever. Our law and our courts cease to be protective or punitive when they allow their functions to be taken over by a mob: Let the law and the courts take such action in the Coatesville rose as will convince the people there, and of the state, that Judge Lynch has been recalled finally, firmly, and forcefully. The shame of Coatesville and of Pennsylvania can be lessened only by the savestest punishment of those "respectable" men who tortured, like man-casting savages, a helpless negozi, who had not even formally been accused of crime. PITTSBURGH POST: There are four hundred criminals at large in Chester county who must be brought to justice just as speedily as it is possible for the authorities to act. These law-breakers, organized as a mob, have blotted the fair fame of Pennsylvania, a State that has become the second world by godding an offense so helpless as the savage act of burning a monster to gratify mob fury. There is a higher civilization in this state which will not tolerate such a dehumanization law and order as that witnessed in Chesterville on Sunday night, and we all sure that the better citizenship of Chester county itself will join the better protections of the criminal justice system that every individual guilty of participation in inroads be punished to the limit of the law. Criminals can be detected and are arrested every day, and with four hundred of them running loose in one county it ought not to require much time to fill the jail to overflowing. Therefore Pennsylvania expects Chester county to furnish an example to the rest of the country that will be to her credit. The quarter sessions of the county will apply the remedy. For atrocity this lynching could scarcely be equaled by a band of uncivilized Indians. It was unnecessary, because the accused man was in custody and punishment for his misdemeanor was certain. But the spirit of the mob prevailed, the vetted was dragged out and burned to death and the mob was arrested. And three men, several hundred now. They are no extinguishing circumstances surrounding this appalling outrage on law, and nothing will suffice but the punishment of the guilty. PITTSBURGH DISPATCH: The horror and humiliation following the news of the atrocity of Coatesville has been succeeded by a stern determination that every agency of authority must be employed to assure the defense of those in distress, distantly and the fair name of this state demands this, but even more it is imperative for the safety of society that the supremacy of law be established and that the criminals be brought to justice and compelled to pay the utmost penalty for their crimes. In asserting the paramount authority of the state against any possible weakness or negligence on the part of the local officials, Governor Tener will have the universal approval of an aroused public opinion which will prevent the state from being until every man concerned is brought to bar. No resort to mob violence is ever justified in a community under the protection of the law, but this Coatesville horror was as absolutely without the shadow of a pretext, as it exceeded all others in insentate jury and diabolical execution. The victim had been a law enforcement officer, was in a hospital mmailed and under guard, with no possibility of escape and assured of speedy trial, conviction and punishment. The brutal and unreasoning frenzy of the mob that in its maddened lust for blood wholly disregarded the peril of the unfortunate inmates of the hospital, measures its character as thoroughly as its subsequent murder of a person, and the hysterical infiltration is that not one citizen seems to have had the courage to raise a voice in protest or in appeal that the law be respected and allowed to take its course. PITTSBURGH GAZETTE TIMES: Every loyal and law-abiding citizen of Pennsylvania must have been shocked, and shamed beyond expression yesterday as he read the story of Sunday night's burning to death of a detenseless negro at Coasterville. This miserable creature had not commemorated yesterday as he plumed in extinction of a resort to lynching in the south, and the mob did not pursue the methods which usually outain with Judge Lynch in cases of this kind, but with a savagery almost past belief, as brutal as anything recorded of the Indians a century ago, victim of this horrrible death in what has been known as a Quaker community, on a Sabath evening within 28 miles of Philadelphia, which suggests that at best civilization is but skin deep and that, in places little suspected, the spirit of anarchy is knocked back, stern measures if we are escaped other humiliations like that which is reported from Chaster county. Govemor Teneri, although not at Harrisburg, when applauded of the Contestville outrage, was quick to act. From New York he ordered state consignatory to the scene and he has decared his intention to prosecute the inequality with visor. The whole law machinery of the state and local authorities has been devoted to the duty of discovering, and punishing, the wretches guilty of this fearful offense. The blot they have placed upon Pennsylvania can never be removed. The stigma is there to stray through all time. LOCAL NEWS The A. C.

CALHOUN AT THE OCULIST'S La Follette's Story of the Darky Walker Applied to Those Who Fear Reciprocity. United States Senator La Follette discussing rectoproct, said with a smile: "These fears are groundless. They are groundless to the point of being ludicrous. They remind us of fact, of Calhoun Clay. "Calhoun Clay was a waiter at a side restaurant. The white glare of the sun-drenched beach injured his eyes, and he had to consult an oculist. The oculist fitted him out with spectacles, and, as he left the shop with the spectacles on his nose, he gave a great start and halted before a huge and extraordinary machine. "Calhoun stared in awe at this machine for some time. Then he said: 'What's dat, boss?' "That, said the oculist solemnly, is an ophthalmometer." "Sho, muttered Calhoun, and he backed farther away, his eyes still fixed upon the formidable instrument 'sho, dat's what Ah wuz pleased it wuz.'" Fattening Foods. White bread is fattening because we rarely digest it completely. Starchy foods are quite unaffected by the gastric juices which digest the meats. Their digestive ferments are obtained chiefly from the saliva in the mouth, which therefore should be thoroughly mixed with each mouthful before swallowing. But white bread is so soft and lacking in substance that we unconsciously swallow it long before it has had a fair chance to become sufficiently fermented with the digestive saliva. The result is delayed digestion (if digestion takes place at all) and at the best the starch is very apt to be converted into disgusting, unwanted and unhealthful fat.

THE WEST GREETS BUSINESS MEN Twelfth Annual Meeting of Mamminth Organization, Which Has Convinced the Nation of the Negro's Capacity For Commercial Advancement, Responds to Governor Donaghey's Invitation. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Little Rock, Ark.—The twelfth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league, which was called to order in Kemmner's theater, this city, on Wednesday, Aug. 16, at 10:20 a.m. by the Hon. John E. Bush, chairman of the local executive committee, brought together a large and representative number of the solid and successful business men of the race. Besides being the guever of the local business league of the city, the national organization comes at the personal invitation of Governor George W. Donaghey, who a year ago sent the following letter to President Washington in New York: Booker T. Washington, President, National Negro Business League, New York City; Dear Sir- I have followed with interest the different meetings of your organization from year to year. I have noted its growth and the rapid spread of its influence. I believe that your organization is doing much to encourage business ventures among your people, thus widening the reach of your business and helping to see the necessity of utilizing the resources of our country. As governor of the state of Arkansas I take pleasure in extending to your league through you a cordial invitation to hold your next annual session in the city of Little Rock. Should your organization see fit to accept I can assure you that everything possible will be done by our citizenship to make your visit both pleasant and profitable. C. W. DONAGHEY, Governor After the formal opening of the convention addresses of welcome were delivered on behalf of the state, Little Rock Business league, the State league JOHN H. HARRIS DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. and on behalf of the citizens. The first subject on the program was "How I Bound 'My Farm.'" J. W. Thomas of Kansas. Other subjects discussed during the day were "Truck Farming as a Business Investment." "Contracting and Building." "Advertising One's Business." "Manufacturing" and "Real Estate." The feature of the evening session was the annual address by Dr. Booker T. Washington. Added to the harmony that prevails in the local committee, the white citizens of the city and state are co-operating to an extent that, to say the least, is surprising and reassuring. The entertainment committee of the Little Rock chamber of commerce has given $500 in cash toward the entertainment of the convention, besides providing the beautiful Kempner's theater, the most costly in the state, for the place of meeting. Individuals among the white merchants and prominent colored people all over the state have contributed all the way from $25 to $20. The local committee has upward of $5,000 for the entertainment of the convention. The grand lodges Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and Mosaic Templars have each given $100. Homes for more than $3,000 visitors were provided. The local street railway company offered enough cars to take all the visitors on a sightseeing trip around the city. A side trip was arranged to the wonderful Hot Springs of Arkansas, and several important social functions were arranged by the ladies of Little Rock. The banquet on Friday night, Aug. 18, was a magnificent affair. H. II. Garner, superintendent of city delivery; Dr. J. A. Thornton, chairman of the executive committee; Dr. W. O. Foster, treasurer, and Hon. Selpto A. Jones, president of the local and state leagues and fourth vice president of the national league, together with various members of the local committee, worked hard to make this meeting the great success the it was.

The towering Washington monument, solid as it is, cannot resist the heat of the sun, poured on its southern side on a midsummer's day, without a slight bending of the gigantic shaft which is rendered perceptible by means of a copper wire, 174 feet long, hanging in the center of the structure, and carrying a plummet suspended in a vessel of water. At noon in summer the apex of the monument, 550 feet above the ground, is shifted, by expansion of the stone, a few hundredths of an inch toward the north. High white cause perceptible motions of the plummet, and in still weather, deflective vibrations of the crust of the earth otherwise unperceptible are registered by it.

PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS Redemption of Pledges in Full Means. Much to Race in Pittsburgh. It now behooves every man or woman who subscribed to the Building Fund for Y. M. C. A. 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 redound to our credit if all of those pledges are redeemed. With the equipment of this building and needed improvements, that will be necessary to make it adaptable for Y. M. C. A. purposes, the race 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 those piedges 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. For Extinguishing Oil. For extinguishing oil fires where water is both ineffective and dangerous, frothy liquids have been recommended. In a late test near Hamburg a mixture of one quart each of caustic soda and alum solutions yielded 15 quarts of a yellowish-white foam; having a density of 0.14, and this could be sucked up and distributed like water by a hose. A basement of 30 square feet, filled with benzine to 20 inches, was fired, and was extinguished in 28 seconds with 18 gallons of the frothy mixture, and a burning benzine tank six feet in diameter and nine feet high, was extinguished in 13 seconds. The benzine was little affected, burning as usual after removal of the froth. the little boy sat in the roadside idly poking the dust, says the Young- town Telegram. When the big man came along the little boy looked up and said: "Mister, is this your park?" "What's you gimme for it?" quizzed the big man.

Ho was slain in 597. The first blow of the threatened oom of Judah bad fallen during the fourth year of his reign, the first toll- {ng of the bell of judgment which | should have summoned the very dead in ain to awake. But they gave 20 Reed. "— Jeholachin, bis gon, ascended the throne, a bad, weak boy, utterly unfit ‘to cope with the situation. His reign Jasted only three months. Upon Je- holachin descended the’ full force of the divine vengeance incurred by previous generations. He was scarcely on the throne when the Chaldean forces, which bad been ravaging Ju- dea, were joined by Nebuchadnezzar himself, and closed around\ Jeruss- Jem, and Jeholachin surrendered at discretion. The arm of Babylon raised to strike bis futher fell on bim, and fulfilled the prophecy against Jehota- kim. “He shall have none to sit upon the throne-of David.” Jehoiachin was Kept a prisoner in Babylon for 37 years and was then released. Ezekte! was carried away with him, and the freatgrandfather of Mordecal, Queen’ Eather’s cousin. ‘This was the second blow of divine- Jadgment, the beginning of the second captivity, when 10,000 people were car- ried captive to Babylon. Among them were the King’s wives and officers, and 7,000 that were strong and apt for war, and 1,000 craftsmen; and. a large :pArt of the 5,400 vessels of gold ‘and silver from the Temple and pal- aces. The policy of Nebuchadnezzar ‘Was to remove out of the way all thode who might be able to organize a re- volt when he and his army had de- parted. Such-men ft eouid have been dangerous to leave ‘behind. It would teem as if all this would have been sufficient to prevail on the people to repent and be saved. Zedekiah, the brother of Jeholakin, was placed upon the throne by Nebu- chadnezzar, “a shadow king over & desperate band of men. During the firat nine years of bis reign the na- tion, Instead of embracing the oppor tunity of repeptance. plunged more deeply, {nto folly. The dregs of the people, Toft behind in Jeruselem, laid this flattering unction’ to thelr souls: “We have been spared by Jehovah, therefore we are righteous in his sight” Daring 2 brief respite while Nebu- chadnezzar left Jerdselem free while he fought the Egyptians Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamtn_/, His'home was at Anathoth In Benjamin, three or four miles north of the city. It was apparently to secure his share of the tithes and produce of the Leritical glebe of the village, due to him as one of its priests. Knowing that the Chal deans would return, {t was Imperative that he should obtain the means of subsistence to take back into the city, 60 soon to be beleagured afresh. Oth- ers think it was to secure himself 19 the possession of an inheritance. There Was a neural rush to get out , of the city after so long a confine ment. Jeremiah went with the others. : ‘When Jeremiah was in the gate of Benjamin, the north gate of the city, that by which any one would go to the country of Benjamin which ad- joined Jerusalem. a guard said: “Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans; you are trying to desert to the enemy.” His well known prophecies of the de struction of the city, and advice that ; the people should yield the city to the Chaldeans, gave color to this accusa- ' tion. ; ‘Then sald Jeremiah: “False! A Net I fall not a way to the Chaldeans.” He was arrested ty the guard, and brougnt to the princes, the officials of the government, whe *ere wroth with Jeremiah. He had compared them to rotten figs. He was the strongest and most resolute opponent of' thelr war policy. But for him they would have had it all thelr own wey. Jeremiah was placed in a dungeon ander the prison building. Jerusalem was honer-combed with subterranean cisterns, vaulted of arched overhead, and cabins, vaults, the subterranean, arched spaces of a cistern, containing water. ‘At last Zedekiab, the king, secretly took him out to inquire: “Is there any word from the Lord?” Jeremiah re- plied: “There 1s." The word was: “Thou shalt be delivered into the hand THE COURIER. : FEDERATION OF VIRGINIA COLORED WOMEN’S CLUBS WORTHY ORGANIZATION FORMU- LATED PLANS TH@T WILL RE- SULT IN MUCH GOOD TO ‘THE -RACE IN VIRGINIA. Roanoke, Va—The Federation of | Colored Women’s Clubs of Virginia held {ts annual meeting at Roanoke. Va.. and formulated many plans that will result in much good to the race fn Virginia.

They havp been signally suc- Cesstui in their efforts, and deserve. to be complimented for thelr activity, along this line. The Roanoke Times has the following to say abqut the meeting: 2 “Colored women trom various cittos of Virginia, including \ Richmond.” Lynchburg. Norfolk, Peterpburg. and Portsmouth, are meeting ih thé High Street Baptist church in Roanoke this Week to discuss and form plans tor the advancement of the megro race. Many subjects of interest are belng @lscussed and yesterday six hundred: dollars was stbscrtbed to a fund for. the establishment of an institution for rescue work. It has been bald that God helps him who helps himself. The individual, the community or the race, satisfied with conditions and content to depend upon others for pro- gress. usually will elther stand atill or detertorate. Self help is necessary to growth, mental, physical and spirit- ual, and the fact that colored people of Virginia and the south are recog. izing this princtple, may be regarded: as a most encouraging Indication.” When members of the race work for. themselves and are anzious to Keep: pace with the march of cfrilization,” fesults cam be expected. Coming into | slose touch with each other and being in position to teach and to advise thelr people as to what will best con- cribute to thelr welfare, phllantront ind educational; organizations -among | them should find a frultful eld of | abor and be able to accomplish much sood.

T. Hubert, of Atlanta, president of Jackson college, located at this place.” This fact, to- gether with the Installation of Prof. John Hope as president of Atlanta Baptist college, and the turning over of the new Roger Williams university to negroes gives the society a warmer place in the bearts of the colored peo- ple of the south. Prof. Hubert, who {s one of the most advanced representatives of the young educated negro, succeeds Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for sev- enteen years. By bis coming, an al!- negro faculty will be {n charge of the work of Jackson college. The new president was born and reared in Geérgta, and understands thoroughly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college, the Massachy, setts Agricultural college and Boston university. HIS IDEA OF ECONOMY.

Ac cording to last report for thja state, the number of deaths “were about one hundred in excess of the births during the past quarter—the figures being 435 deaths ag against 235 births, That ie to say, unsanitary surroundings, BO- ial over speeding and general reck Tesaness regarding hfyienic living are getting in their deadly work all the time. We have any number of “up- lift” ‘organizations’ that look after the spiritual and moral welfare of the race. Now since morality is intimate ly connected with ff met dependent yn physical well-being, wouldn't it usplendid idea if some of these or- jons would devote some little time to a “forward movement” along the line of mora -health and better health? Further, since every word that precedeth from the lips of the preacher is law and gospel, why not inetitute en addjtional “day” and de- yote it to wermonizing on the greatest of all questions, “good health?” It was Carlyle we believe who sald that no man with dyspepsia could be 2 Christian. And the statistics show that the raveges of scores of -other dis- eases are preventing the negro from remetning a Christian long at a tfme. It would eeem then that one way to promote Christianity would be to epread the gospel of good health. If statistics could be collected showing to what extent race efficiency 1s being lowred by the twin.erfis, the “sick habit” and the “drug habit,” such statistics would be staggering in the story they would tell. The issue that dwarfs ali other questions affecting ths negro seems to be one looking to the couservation ‘of negro health. If we lose here (and the“facts seem to show that we are losing), then victors ‘anywhere else is worthless.~ Walving ithe question as to whether some of four schools are not doing more to iwreck: than to conserve the health of itherr students, it might be mentioned {in ‘pacsing that these schools could ‘and ought to do # wonderful work in ‘the matter of promoting the Reneral health of the race. Another curious feature about the last report on vital statistics vas that concerning sul- ‘cides. -There were 28 suicides, and of that number |only one was a negTo- That is te eay, the colored brother doesn’t take to the suicide route worth a cent. Ho exemplifies Shakespeare's philosophy: “Better bear the Ills we now endure than to fly to those we know not‘of.” It takes a brave man to face the odds the negro has to face and keep on living. But he 1s doing just that —Dallas Express. A story is being told, of a man elec: trocuted at’ Sing Sing who walked to the death chair with a smile on bis face. Whether true or not, the story 43 deeply suggestive. The possibility of a man’s meeting the death current with a siflile must prove the pract!- cabllity of meeting with a smile any conditions of life. It is not always the great trials and troubles that are hardest to meet. We can readily ac- quire a habit of frowning over every petty woe or disappointment, and ‘thus mage Ife miserable not, onlx-for ourselves. but for all about us. it fs fa detestable habit. and. is suicide to one’s.own Joy in life, and murder to the joys of others. There seems to be something in humar rature that braces us up for the inevitable. For this reason Wwe face With fortimde the gravest disasters, even death itself Dut fret and fuss and frown over little {ls which x cheerful smite would dis- sipate as sunshine dissipates ialarial mists... Men who arise as masters, in great emergencies ray be stung’ to death by little annoyances. 1 is al- most entirely a matter. of habit Cheerfulness may be cultivated. #5 welt as health. Indeed, the two biess: ings generally go together. Fortun: yatels, few of. us may be called upon to go smiling fo the death chair, Bur we all are called upon,every day £0 smile away life's little worries.-- Ex.

He has no time to spend in petty wrangling over politics. There is a big field of use- ees for the Negro, and he would we the race take advantage of its opportunites. In part, be sild re a at a college commencement: ~TRere are openings in the South for at least 8,000 additional grocery stores, for 3,500 additional drug stores. There are openings in the South for 2,000 shoe stores. 2,000 ° millinery stores, and there are communities in the South where 2,000 additional Ne- gro banks can be opened and sup- ported. Further than this, there are places in the South where at least 78 self-governing, self-supporting and self- directing towns or cities may be estab- lished where the colored people can have thelr gyn mayor, thelr own board of:aldermen, their onn‘self-gov- erpmént from every point of view. In the last analysis, local self-govern- ment is the most precious kind of self- government. + “If none of these openings sult the ambition of our educated colored ‘mea and women, there is another field that is ripe for the harvest, that of educa- tion. There are 1,500,000 Negro chil- dren of school age who do not enter any school in the South, and gre are hundreds of thousands of othets who are in school only three months out of the 12 months. ise need 30,000 addi- tional echoolhouges built in the South, and we need af least 20,000 additional Negro school teachers. But if. the vision of the educated colored ‘man cannot be realized in any of the call- ings to which I have referred, there are still other openings in the South. I refer to the opportunities in profes- sional directions. There are indivi- dual locations in the South for at least 2,500 additional pharmacists, 2,000 ad- ditional dentists and 1,000 veterinary surgeons.” , ‘The Richmond Times-Dispatch, com- menting on the above, well says: “... But the speech of Washing- ton was the speech of a wise man, 8 man of.vision, who, passing by, the trifling question of the loaves :and fishes of office, and leaving the pollt- ical embarrassments to the considera- tion of the little men of the raceand their nearsighted white sympathizers up North, strikes the true note for their deliverance—land and more !and. and independence. The Negro who would rather be a-third-rate white man thin a first-rate black man‘ will protest; but what this Virginian in a colored skin said so well will appeal to the judgment of sane men whatever ' thelr race or their place of residence.” | —Editorial: Spartanburg (South Caro- lina) Herald : The routing of the whie slave trade has been made a nationgl issue and fs being weakened and trgmpled thraugh- out the world.
