Career and Work of Zealeus Young Hero Who Brooked Many Insults and Flood Imminent Danger in Quest of Knowledge—Priest In P. E. Church, Half Century. BY JOHN E. BRUCE Yonkern, N. Y.-It will be gratifying news to the friends and admirers of the late Dr. Alexander Crummell, for fifty years a priest in the Protestant Episcopal church and for almost twenty years rector of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal church in Washington, to learn that a public school named for him to cost $45,000 will be defi ned next October. Dr. Alexander Crummell was a great clergyman, a great scholar and a great race man. In his youth, when the fires of am- bition burned in his bosom and he and several other young colored men sought and obtained admittance as pupils to a school in a northern city, a mob attacked the school building and drove them out of the city. But this did not dampen their ardor nor lessen their zeal for knowledge. They pressed on, and all of them became great in their several callings. Young Crummell chose the ministry as his field. After he had completed his studies he called on Bishop Onderdonk in Philadelphia in 1842. After he had made an unsuccessful effort to establish a church in Providence, R. L. his first charge, which his parishioners were either too poor or too apathetic to properly support, he requested a change. After hearing his request this holy man of God said to the young aspirant for recognition as a man and brother: "I cannot receive you into this diocese unless you will promise that you will never apply for a seat in my convention for yourself or for any church you may raise in this city." Young Crummell's reply was an immediate one. "That, sir," said he, "I shall never do." And this ended the interview. This shows the kind of material of which Alexander Crummell was made and the kind of courage which manly and self respecting colored men of his stamp at that period possessed. This incident was one of the turning points in the future career of Alexander Crummell. He went to England—this was in 1847—where he came into contact with many of its most distinguished men and women—Willborce, the great bishop of Oxford; Bishop Bloomfield of London, Dr. Stanley, lord bishop of Norwich; Bishop Hinds, who licensed him for six months to a curacy in Ipswich. Thus honors were thrust upon this struggling and ambitious young prelate. He knew well Thomas Babington Macaulay, the great historian, and Thackeray, the author, who subsequently visited America. Through the generosity and personal friendship of Sir Benjamin Brodie he became a student in the University of Cambridge and was entered at Queen's college, Cambridge, in 1851. Alexander Cromwell was in his lifetime one of the most polished and scholarly clergymen of his day and generation. The history of his useful and eventful life ought to be an inspiration to young men of the present day. I knew of no man better qualified or more thoroughly conversant with the career of Dr. Crummell as clergyman and publicist, author and pamphleteer than Professor John W. Cromwell, secretary of the Negro academy in Washington, founded by Dr. Crummell some years ago, to write the chapter relating to his later work for social unfit. It will be significant for the guidance and inspiration of Negroes, who too soon forget what others of their race have done to smooth their pathway in the race of life. Alex Crummell was "one of the seldom nerd," and we shall not soon look upon his like again. He was every inch a man. I know him well. EDUCATORS MEET AT ST. LOUIS National Association of Colored Teachers Holds Eighth Annual Convention. DR. WASHINGTON SPEAKS FROM TWELVE TO FIFTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS HEAR TUBKE-GEAN — EDUCATORS CLAIM BOOKS SHOULD BE USED MENTIONING ACHIEVEMENTS OF NEGROES—REBULT OF ELECTION OF OFFICERS. St. Louis, Mo.—The eighth annual convention of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, which convened in the Summer High School building Wednesday, July 28, closed amplyly with Dr. Booker T. Washington delivering an address before from 12,000 to 15,000 persons. Colored and white citizens filled the large and tallroom to hear the noted negro leader. His reception was the most enthusiastic ever given him in the Mound City. Sunday was a very busy day for the colored educators. In the foreground an educational rally was held and every colored church in the city was visited by a colored educator, who spoke on the great need of educating the members of the race. In the evening a number of negro churches were also visited. The following offices were elected: W. T. Williams, Hampton, Va., president; Inman F. Page, Langston, Oka; first vice-president; N. B. Young, Tallahassee, Fl., second vice-president; Mason A. Hawkins, Baltimore, Md., third vice-president; W. H. Singleton, Chattanooga, Tehn., fourth vice-president; Frank L. Williams, St. Louis, fifth vice-president; I. M. Burgan, Waco, Tex., sixth vice-president; Miss Ida C. Plummer, Washington, D.C., recording secretary; Mrs. J. E. Porter, Okmulgee, Okla., assistant secretary; J. R. E. Lee, Tuskegee, Ala., corresponding secretary; J. A. Martin, Jackson, Miss, treasurer; J. S. Clark, Baton Rouge, La., registrar. The members of the executive committee are: D. Wagner, Marshall, Tex; G. M. Grisham, Kansas City, Mo; J. H. A. Brazelton, Oklahoma City, Okla; George W. Carry, Okmulgee, Okla; O. L. Copleman, Gibsland, La; G. A. Hayes, Indianapolis, Ind; Joseph A. Booker, Little Rock, Ark; G. W. Thenholm, Tuscumbia, Ala; L. B. Moore, Washington, D. C; W. L. McRae, Fallahashee, Fla; A. R. Merry, Memphis, Tenn; T. W. Turner, Baltimore, Md; Alice L. Dortch, Louisville, Ky; B. F. Bowles, East St. Louis, Ill; R. R. Wright, Atlanta, Ga, and J. B. Beck, Charleston, S. C. A resolution recommending the appointment of a committee of three to confer with other national organizations, with the hope of procuring their co-operation in an effort to create and maintain a successful and creditable exposition of negro progress was unanimously adopted by the convention. A resolution providing for a committee of seven to devise plans for procuring the introduction into text books in use in negro schools of mention of the achievements of the negro in art, history and literature that will inspire pride among negro children also was adopted. Chattanooga, Tenn., was chosen as the place of meeting for the ninth annual session. COLORED FISHERS FOR PEARLS SOME VERY PROFITABLE "FINDS" IN LOUISIANA REPORTED. Shreveport, La.—It is stated that about one hundred negroes are engaged in fishing for pearls at San Beach, near here, and that the catches are large. Pearls which have been found in the mussel are reported to have brought as much as $190 from speculators, who come here to buy them. It is stated that some negroes are making $30 a day. It is almost impossible to get hands to work, for they are all at the bayou fishing for the gems. JACK HAS MUSIC HALL ENGAGE MENTS GALORE. Toronto, Ont.—Finding that there was no immediate prospect of a championship fight in England or Ireland for Jack Johnson, Tom Flannagan, who succeeded George W. Little as manager of the heavyweight champion, returned to his home in this city somewhat unexpectedly. Flannagan says that Johnson is booked solid in the halls until Christmas, and that he has fairly knocked the Britons off their feet. He also took occasion to deny the reported interview with Johnson, in which the big fellow is alleged to have declared against America and for England. WELL INTENDED. Bertie and Alice were sitting alone together in the moonlight uttering tender nonsense. Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith. PITTSBURG PA.. AUGUST 26, 1911. CANDIDATES FOR THE BISHOPRIC Many Worthy Aspirants in Race For the Corveted Position. Grave Issues Which Confront the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church at its Meeting in Kansas City, Mo., In May, 1912—The Situation Stated. Jackson, Miss.—The approach of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, like all epoch making events, evokes much discussion as to the issues to be decided and the men to be honored. There is no getting around the fact that the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church in legislating for a great church and elevating men to positions of trust and honor is one of the truly great meetings held among Afro-Americans. It looks like four or five bishops to meet the growing demand caused by the expansion of the church on the one hand and the death and inability of several bishops on the other. There is a large number of men in the church who could fill the episcopacy or any other office with credit and honor, and many of them are being constantly mentioned in connection with that office. In order that the country at large might be informed from time to time of the trend of events as they begin to shape themselves for this epoch making meeting, it might be well to give to the public from time to time observations and conclusions made by constant contact with influential persons throughout the south. There are many men in the field, but it is not the purpose of this article to deal with them all at this writing. There is no more trying service in our racial life than service in a Christian organization. To be sure there are certain compensations — mostly spiritual—that the individual gets from the knowledge of a work well done in behalf of his people. There is one man in the heart of the south prominently mentioned for the bishopric in the A. M. church whose merits and capabilities are well worth considering. This man has done something which alone goes a long way toward favorable consideration. He comes from the premier state of Mississippi, where Negroes do things. If the church is seeking men who are able to create and develop things that are lasting and enduring, M. M. Ponton, president of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss, is the man. Dr. Ponton long ago sacrificed his comforts at home at the call of his brethren, pulled up bag and baggage and with his devoted wife went down into Mississippi. REV. DR. M. M. POSTOR. and in a few years placed their educational work in that state on a basis of respect and influence. The services of such a man ought to be known to the church—the bishopric question aside. Dr. Ponton has done more for the elevation of the Negro ministry in the past twenty years than perhaps any other man in the country. He has made a house to house and a church to church canvass throughout the southern country with the open Bible, teaching Bible morals and Bible spirituality to all of our people and endowing to popularize that sacred book and make its teaching familiar to preachers, Sunday school and public school teachers everywhere. The success of many ministers of the gospel who are now in the public eye can be traced to his efforts, and as president of Campbell college his work and worth are appreciated in both the states of Mississippi and Louisiana as that of no other man who has held the position. There are other men who are aspirants for the high honor, there are other men who are equally worthy, but surely this man has claims that cannot be gainaid and which will bring forth a happy response. Afro-Americans In Methodist Church. The numerical strength of the race in the Methodist denomination is said to be as follows: A. M. E. Zion, 545,600; A. M. E. 452,000; C. M. E. 225,800; and 300,000 with membership in the M. E. church. THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION IS COMING Pittsburg Will Give Ten Thousand Visitors Royal Welcome. It Will Be the Biggest Affair That Was Ever Held in the City of Pittsburg. INDIANAPOLIS THRONGED WITH SIR KNIGHTS AND FRIENDS SIR KNIGHTS AND FRIENDS ASK NEGROES Camp Struthers the Feature of Great Gathering. Booker Washington Makes Address. This is the Official Paper for the National Baptist Convention. From Nashville Clarion: Just four weeks and Pittsburgh, Pa., becomes the Baptist Mecca, to ward which all the Negro Baptist host, Arabian like, will wind their way. There will be ten thousand strangers sojourning, in the cityity for seven days, and great, great will be the occasion that brings them together. The big Baptist family has done big business this year, and its big leaders will assemble in a big convention to tell big tales concerning it. Big old Tennessee, the biggest of them all, will share in the jubilation and her proud sons and daughters will lend additional honor to her great name. Under her proud banner, we will march five hundred strong, into this Frick Carnegie stronghold, and show the other Baptist folks how Tennessee do things. With President Lawrence Haynes, Townsend, Boyne, Clark, Hardin, Flowers, Brooklyn, and the nation's colleges, Griggs and Boyd—and merry music and joyful dance will be the first and last number on the program, while all of mighty works have been done in grand old Tennessee. The Clarion is thrice happy in all this; and ordinarily it is pleased with all that the Tennessee people do, but there is just little amendment it would suggest, and that it hopes will be taken seriously. Nashville, the proud capital of Tennessee, the boasted citizens of the South, has three of the Convention Boards located here—the Publishing, Educational and B. F. P. U. Boards—and, for that reason Tennessee should contribute more money to the work to the National Baptist Convention than any other state in the Union. So may it be. Let all the Tennesseeans say Amen. On Monday night, September 11, at 7 o'clock a fine day each Paleyville police officer out from the Broad Street Station, carrying seventy-five or one hundred persons out of Nashville. Oh what shouting and rejoicing when these valiant warriors go marching. One fare for the round trip is so cheap that all can go. Make up your mind, get ready, join the number, and send in your name at once to The Clarion office. On to Pittsburgh. Every loyal Baptist must heed the cry. The local committee of the national entertainment committee has issued an appeal for aid in raising a fund sufficient to pay the expense of holding the National Baptist convention in this city from September 12 to 19. Between 15,000 and 20,000 delegates will attend, and it will necessitate the expenditure of $2,300 to arrange for the accommodation of the visitors will spend $100,000 or more in Pittsburgh during their stay. The Rey, Dr. W. Brown, chair- (By Special Correspondent.) Indianapolis, Ind.—When the sun rose on Monday morning in this city its rays were focused on the arrival of thousands of Sir Knights that arrived during the night and their friends who are visiting here with them. On Sunday there were over 20,000 visitors in the city, including 8,000 Sir Knights. Every train brought more Knights and visitors and the Grand total is fully 50,000 persons representing every state and territory in the Union. Pennsylvania came in strong, bringing with her members of every company in Western Pennsylvania headed by First Brigade Bank K. of P. of Pittsburgh, with Captain Henry Watson in the sector. A large delegation of ladies attended the event, appalled the Sir Knights. Religious services were held on the train, conducted by Chaplain W. L. Young of First Brigade, assisted by Rev. Dr. W. D. Clinton and Rev. Morris of Corey Avenue church. Braddock, Pa. Among the members of Court of Caltnthe were Miss. Hattie Courtney of Pittsburgh, Pa.

Brown, of No. 2803 Wylie avenue. Suitable Seating Provided. The hardest question before the committee is now settled, namely, the question of seating the two large pavilions in which the Women's and Men's conventions will be held. The committee has secured through Chairman Messer several thousands of chairs. The Great Choir National Chorister N. H. Plus, D. D., will arrive next Sunday to take charge of the 1,000 voted choir which will sing on Wednesday and Friday nights. Great Concert September 12 the committee has arranged to hold a great concert at which time one of the great lights of the Baptist church will make an address and some choice vocal numbers will be rendered. This concert will be held at the Newark Music Name of speaker will appear in next issue of Courier. Convention Issue of Courier A special convention number of the Courier, Pittsburgh's one great Negro newspaper, will be issued during the convention. Rev. J. H. Dwelle will have charge of this work and the paper will contain special articles by leading Baptists of Pittsburgh. Dr. Dwelle will write a special article on "Young Baptists and Their Ideals." Everybody is looking forward to this big convention and the city will be overrun with strangers and men of national reputation among the Baptists who will be here. Every business man and citizen of the race should lend a helping hand to make this affair a complete success and open their homes to the delegates and strangers. If you have any accommodation to offer let Rev. T. C. H. Xesser, 109 East Street, New York. All ministers and their people should be interested in the success of this convention and show our hospitality that the strangers may go away happy for their coming to Pittsburgh. Every business place and home should be decorated for this occasion. The people of Pittsburgh cannot realize what a big thing this is and what its success means for its colored citizens.

TO GO TO HARRISBURG TO SEE THE GOVERNOR Meeting Held At Big Bethel Sunday on Coatesville Lynching About 200 persons were present, among whom were some women to voice their interest in the behalf of the race in their effort to see that justice be meted out and the guilty be dealt with according to law for that disgraceful-burning alive of a Negro and blackening of the fair name of the state, which recently occurred at Coatesville, Pa. D. M. Washington presided. Secretary A. T. Hall had sent out notices to 27 churches, but only two ministers were present, Rev. W. L. Lee of John Wesley and Bethe Church. It does not argue that the ministers this city would lose such an opportunity to voice their sentiment for justice in such an important matter. They deserve the savestest censure and condemnation for not being present. One minister told our representative that he was afraid to attend. We were very much disappointed to hear such utterance from the minister in question. Every minister, professional man, business man and citizen should have been at that meeting if possible. While there was only one of our lawyers present there is a good excuse for the others, as they were all out of town on their vacations, but there is no reason why there should not have been a more representative gathering from all walks of life in attendance. It has been charged, and with justice, that our professional and business man do not take the interest in matters vital to the uplift of the race and neglect their duty which is to always be on the firing line to help those from whom they get their daily bread. Among the speakers were Mrs. C. M. Robinson Manley. She cushioned the Sunday Press for not having anything, in the Afro American notes about the meeting, which was considered their prayer book by many in the past. She wanted Pittaburg to take the lead in this matter, and she do not stand together enough. Lee of John Wheeler made some timely remarks about the point. He said, when the meeting was held in his church last week he was in Knoxville, Tenn., but that he felt this state should certainly do all it could to bring those guilty of his culpability suffer the extremity penalty for their offence. He obliges in sending representatives to Harrisburg to urge the government on, but saw no necessity to a lawyer to take testimony or ask for a change of venue if it were possible to have this done. But it was up to every man to register his protest in a sensible way. And he was ready to contribute his share of the expense. Mr. Page, who was at the meeting, had to leave before it was over, but left word that the Courier would head the list for $2 to defray the expense of the committee to go to Harrisburg and publish all the names of persons subscribing in the Courier, if desired. We understand that Dan Washington refused the contribution of the paper because we did not publish the resolutions last week. The truth of the matter was we received them too late to publish and get our paper out in time last week, and it was our intention to publish this week. But in view of the misrepresentation by Mr. Washington they will not be published. American Federation of Labor Gives Golden Opportunity to the Colored Men. WILL HOLD MEETING SOON The American Federation of Labor is about to organize all the colored workmen of the city of Pittsburgh and vicinity. The name of the new organization will be "Afro-American Federal Labor Union of Pittsburgh and vicinity, with affiliated directly with the American Federation of Labor. The first meeting will be held in the Labor Temple, Washington and Webster avenues, on Sunday, August 27, at 2 p.m. Mr. Flynn, the general organizer of the A. F. of L., who will address the meeting with others, states as follows: "The American Federation of Labor knows no creed, color or nationality, in the industrial line, and realizes the fact that in order to bring about success for the white race, it is equally essential that the power and influence of the widow by the widower be provided by the industrial condition should be equally biven to the colored man in his various vocations of life." "We may differ in social lines, but there cannot be any question along industrial lines. The colored people of Pittsburgh and vicinity may have from time to time been disshared from membership from the various organizations, but when the fountainhead, known as the 'American Federation of Labor,' with its president, Samuel Gompera, has welcomed them into our fold, it is now time for the colored people to grasp the golden opportunity that presents itself and be in attendance at the meeting for the benefit of themselves, their race and their posterity." HOME MISSION PATHFINDER Minister Photo is inner Memory of John Stewart. LIVED IN PERILLOUS TIMES. First Ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church Came Up Through Many Difficulties—Nad Thrilling Experience With Indians—Jonathan Poliner as Interpreter. A great celebration in memory of John Stewart, who was the first home missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church, is being planned for the third Sunday in October, at which time it is hoped to raise a large sum for mission work. The details of the proposed celebration are in the hands of Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, the eloquent and efficient field secretary of the board of home missions and church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Thomas conceived the idea, which is being prepared by the leading alumni in the discussion. "John Stewart," says Dr. Thomas, "was one of those early characters of the race whose achievements should be held in grateful memory." He was born in Powhatan county, Va., in the latter part of the eighteenth century. He was very eminent and of a studious disposition. He had strong religious convictions and joined the Methodist church at an early age. Being satisfied that he had been called to the missionary work, he went to Ohio, where he is still listed among BV. DE J. J. 1924. a few white people. He next went to the Wyandotte Indians, where he labored successful, against superstitions and other difficulties. The interpreter of this tribe was a colored man, Jonathan Pointer, who had adopted all of the Customs of the tribe. "Poister tried to discourage him, reciting the difficulties that Roman Catholics had encountered with the tribe. Mr. Stewart secured his permission, however, to attend a religious feast and dance. In the middle of the feast he was allowed to speak to the Indians about the blessings of Christianity. Poister acting as the interpreter. At the conclusion of his exhortation Chief Bloody shirt instructed his men to shake hands with the missionary. "Stewart persevered, though often discouraged, and eventually succeeded in getting Poister to accept Christianity. Many conversions followed, especially in 1817, when he made a most energetic campaign. He was shortly afterward ordained as a local preacher. He passed away in 1823, a victim of consumption. "The work started by this pioneer missionary caused some enthraspheric persons to organise the first missionary society of the denomination in 1810, and the 12,000 missionaries now working in every part of the globe may be said to have got their first inspiration from this humble man of God." Dr. Thomas hopes to make the celebration country wide and will gladly receive any suggestions as to how it should be done at his house, 2111 Drudg Hill avenue, Baltimore. Colored Soldiers For Philippines. From recent reports it appears that the United States is very anxious to enlist a large number of colored soldiers for service in the Philippine Islands. Recruiting stations for these purposes are already in operation in Atlanta and Macon, Ga. There are similar stations in other sections of the south. Lieutant John Smyington is the recruiting officer. The Trend of Political Southwest. The trend of opinion among a large and diversified number of colored voters is toward independence in politics. Along this line of thought the Los Angeles (Cal) New Age says. The black man should stand on his rights and give both his vote and moral support in influencers who believe the Negro has higher than should his position. MRS. M. C.

The THIRD DEGREE BY CHARLES KLEIN AND ARTHUR HORNBLOW ILLUSTRATIONS BY RAY WALTERS BYNOPS18. Howard Jeffries, banker's son, under the evil influence of Robert Underwood, a fellow-student at Yale, leads a life of dissipation, marries the daughter of a gambler who died in prison, and is disowned by his father. Howard is a former college clumks a business proposition to Howard which requires $2,000,000, and Howard is broke. Robert Underwood, who had been repulsed by Howard's wife, Annie, in his college class, and had once been engaged to Allaia. Howard's stepmother has appalled him with her as a stepfather. Howard remains in prison for unimaginable damages, and decides to ask him for the $2,000 be made. CHAPTER III. The handsome, crownhouse of Howard Jeffries, the well-known banker, on Riverside drive, was one of the most striking among the many imposing millionaire homes that line the city's splendid water front. Houses there were in the immediate proximity which were more showy and had cost more money, but none as completely satisfying from the art lover's standpoint. It was the home of a man who studied and loved the beautiful for its own sake and not because he wanted to astonish people with what miracles his money could hold. Occupying a large plot on slightly elevated ground, the house commanded a fine view of the broad Hudson. Directly opposite, across the river, busy with steam and sailing craft, smiled the green slopes of New Jersey. In the purplish north frowned the jagged cliffs of the precipitous Palades. The older Jeffries, aristocratic descendant of an old Knickerbocker family, was proud of his home and had spent large sums of money in beautifying it. Built in colonial style of pure white marble with long French windows and lofty columns supporting a flat, rounded roof, surrounded by broad lawns, wide-spreading shade trees and splashing fountains, it was a conspicuous landmark for miles. The interior was full of architectural beauty. The stately entrance hall, hung with ancestral portraits, was of noble proportions, and a superb staircase, decorated with statuary, led off to tastefully decorated reception rooms above. To-night the house was brilliantly illuminated and there was considerable activity at the front entrance, where a footman in smart livery stood opening the doors of the carriages as they drove up in quick succession. Mrs. Jeffries' musicales were always largely attended because she knew the secret of making them interesting. Her husband's wealth and her fine house enabled her to entertain on a liberal scale, and she was a tactful and diplomatic hostess as well. She not only cultivated the right kind of people who were congenial to each other, but she always managed to have some guest of special distinction whom every one was eager to meet. Her own wide acquaintance among the prominent operatic artists and her husband's influential position in the world of finance made this policy an easy way of furthering her social ambitions. She would always invite some one whom she could present as the lion of the evening. One week it would be a tenor from the opera house, another time a famous violinist. In this way she managed to create a little artistic salon on the lines of the famous political salons in which the brilliant women of the eighteenth century molded public opinion-in France. Alicia knew she was clever and as she stood admiring herself front of a full length mirror while awaiting the arrival of her guests she congratulated herself that she had made a success of her life. She had won those things which most women hold dear — wealth and social position. She had married a man she did not love, it was true, but other women had done that before her. If she had not brought her husband love she at least was not a wife he need be ashamed of. In her Paquin gown of gold cloth, with sweeping train and a jeweled thara in her hair, she considered herself handsome enough to grace any man's home. It was indeed a beauty which she saw in the mirror—the face of a woman not yet 30, with the features regular and refined. The eyes were large and dark and the mouth and nose delicately molded. The face seemed academically perfect, all but the expression. She had a cold, calculating look, and a cynic might have charged her with being heartless, of stopping at nothing to gain her own ends. To night Alicia had every reason to feel jubilant. She had secured a social lion that all New York would talk about—no less a person than Dr. Bernstein, she celebrated psychologist, the originator of the theory of scientific psychology. Everything seemed to go the way she wished; her musicales were the talk of the town; her husband had just presented her with the jeweled tiara which now graced her head; there seemed to be nothing in the world that she could not enjoy. Yet she was not happy, and as she gazed at the face reflected before her in the glass she wondered if the world guessed how unhappy she was. She knew that by her own indiscretion she was in danger of losing all she had won, her position in society, her place in the affections of her husband, everything. When she married Mr. Jeffries it was with deliberate calculation. She did not love him, but, being ambitious, she did not hesitate to decale him. He was rich, he could give her that prominent position in society for which she yearned. The fact that she was already engaged to a man for whom she did care did not deter her for a moment from her set purpose. E. W. ROSS She at Least Was Not a Wife He Need Be Aahamed Of. She had met Robert Underwood years before. He was then a college boy, tall, handsome, clever. She fell in love with him and they became engaged. As she grew more sophisticated she saw the folly of their youthful infatuation. Underwood was without fortune, his future uncertain. While in this uncertain state of mind she met Mr. Jeffries, then a widower, at a reception. The banker was attracted to her and being a business man he did things quickly. He proposed and was accepted, all in the brief time of—five minutes. Robert Underwood and the romance of her girlfriend were sacrificed without question when it came to reaching a prompt decision. She wrote Underwood a brief letter of farewell, telling him that the action she had taken was really for the best interests of them both. Underwood made no reply and for months did not attempt to go near her. Then he met her in public. There was a reconciliation. He exerted the old spell—on the married woman. Cold and indifferent to her husband, Alice found it amusing to have her old liver paying her court and the danger of discovery only gave the intrigue additional rest and charm. She did not lead Underwood to believe that he could induce her to forget her duty to Mr. Jeffries, but she was foolish enough to encourage a dangerous intimacy. She thought she was strong enough to be able to call a halt whenever she would be so disposed, but as is often the case she overestimated her powers. The intimacy grew. Underwood became holder, claiming and obtaining special privileges. He soon realized that he had the upper hand and he traded on it. Under her patronage he was inited everywhere. He practically lived She at Least Was Not a W on her friends. He borrowed their money and cheated them at cards. His real character was soon known to all, but no one dared expose him for fear of offending the influential Mrs. Jeffries. Realizing this, Underwood continued his depredations until he became a sort of social highwayman. He had no legitimate source of income, but he took a suite of apartments at the expensive Astruria and on credit furnished them so gorgeously that they became the talk of the town. The magazines and newspapers devoted columns to the magnificence of their furnishings and the art treasures they contained. Art dealers all over the country offered him liberal commissions if he would dispose of expensive objects d'art to his friends. He entered in business relation with several firms and soon his rooms became a veritable bazaar for art curios of all kinds. Mrs. Jeffries' friends paid exorbitant prices for some of the stuff and Underwood pocketed the money, forgetting to account to the owners for the sums they brought. The dealers demanded restitution or a settlement and Underwood, dreading exposure, had to bustle around to raise enough money to make up the deficiency in order to avoid prosecution. In this way he lived from day to day borrowing from Peter to settle with Paul, and on one or two occasions he had not been asked to borrow from Mrs. Jeffries herself. Alicia lent the money more because she feared ridicule than from any real desire to oblige Underwood. She had long since become disgusted with him. The man's real character was now plainly revealed to her. He was an adventurer, little better than a common crook. She congratulated herself on her narrow escape. Suppose she had married him—the horror of it! Yet the next instant she was filled with consternation. She had allowed him to become so intimate that it was difficult to break off with him all at once. She realized that with a man of that character the inevitable must come. There would be a disgraceful scandal. She would be mixed up in it, her husband's eyes would be opened to her folly, it might THE COURIER ruin her entire life. She must end it now—once for all. She had already given him to understand that their intimacy must cease. Now he must stop his visits to her house and desist from trapping her friends into his many schemes. She had written him that morning forbidding him to come to the house this evening. She was done with him forever. These thoughts were responsible for the frown on the beautiful Mrs. Jeffries bejeweled brow that particular Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh and was drawing on her long kid gloves before the glass, when suddenly a maid entered and tendered her mistress a note. Alicia knew the handwriting only too well. She tore the letter open and read: Dear Mrs. Jeffries: I received your letter telling me that my presence at your house to-night would be distasteful to you. As you can imagine, it was a great shock. Don't your understand the harm this will do me? Everybody will notice my absence. They will jump to the conclusion that there has been a rupture, and my credit will suffer. I will not afford to let your friends with your friend. My affair are in such happen now. It will be fatal to me. I need your support and friendship more than ever. I have noticed for some time that your manner to me has changed. Perhaps you have believed some of the stories my enemies have circulated about me. For the sake of our old friendship, Allicia, don't desert me now. Remember what I once was to you and let me come to your reception to-night. There's a reason why I must be present in your house. I will be violently. BOBERT UNDERWOOD. Allicia's face flushed with anger. Turning to the maid, she said: "There's no answer." The girl was about to close the door when her mistress suddenly recalled her. "Walt a minute," she said; "I'll write a line." Taking from her dainty escritoire a sheet of perfumed notepaper, she wrote hurriedly as follows: "If you dare to come near my house to night I will have you put out by the servant." Quickly folding the note, she crushed it into an envelope, sealed it, handed it to the girl, and said: The servant disappeared and Alicia resumed her work of drawing on her gloves in front of her mirror. How dare he write her such a letter? Was her house to be made the headquarters for his swindling schemes? Did he want to cheat more of her friends? Wife He Need Be Ashamed Of. The more she thought of all he had done, the angrier she became. Her eyes flashed and her bosom heaved with indignation. She wondered what her husband, the soul of honor, would say if he suspected that she had permitted a man of Underwood's character to use his home for his dishonest practices. She was glad she had ended it now, before it was too late. There might have been a scandal, and that she must avoid at any cost. Mr. Jeffries, she felt certain, would not tolerate a scandal of any kind. All at once she felt something brush her cheek. She turned quickly. It was her husband who had entered the room quietly. "Oh, Howard," she exclaimed, peevishly, "how you frightened me! You shouldn't startle me like that." A tall, distinguished-looking man with white mustache and pointed beard stood admiring her in silence. --- World's Supply of Ivory Ten Thousand Elephants Slaughtered Yearly to Meet the Demand for the Product. In spite of the great demands of the arts and trades for ivory, the quantity imported at Antwerp, London and Liverpool, the principal markets of the world, remains almost constant. The total was 484 French tons in 1888 and 469 tons in 1908. In the years between it has been as high as 688 tons, in 1900. Antwerp was unknown as an ivory market 20 years ago, but now surpasses London in the size of its trade, owing to the opening of the Congo region. Occasionally tusks are found weighing 150 pounds, but one of 58 pounds is considered a fine specimen. The law --- His erect figure, admirably set of a well-cut dress coat suggested the soldier. "What are you doing alone here, dear?" he said. "I hear carriages outside. Our guests are arriving." "Just thinking, that's all," she replied, evasively. He noticed her preoccupied look and, with some concern, he demanded: "There's nothing to worry you, is there." "Oh, no—nothing like that," she said hastily. He looked at her closely and she averted her eyes. Mr. Jeffries often wondered if he had made a mistake. He felt that this woman to whom he had given his name did not leave him, but his vanity as much as his pride prevented him from acknowledging it, even to himself. After all, what did he care? She was a companion, she graced his home and looked after his creature comforts. Perhaps he reasonable man should expect anything more. Carelessly, he asked: "Whom do you expect to night?" "Oh, the usual crowd," replied Alicia, languidly. "Dr. Bernstein is coming—you know he's quite the rage just now. He has to do with psychology and all that sort of thing." "So, he's your lion to night, is he smiled the banker. Then he went on: "By the by, I met Brewster at the club to night. He promised to drop in." Now it was Alice's turn to smile. It was not everybody who could boast of having such a distinguished lawyer as Judge Brewster on their calling lists. To-night would certainly be a success—two lions instead, of one. For the moment she forgot her worry. "I am delighted that the judge is coming." she exclaimed, her face beaming. "Every one is talking about him since his brilliant speech for the defense in that murder case." The banker noted his wife's beautiful hair and the white transparency of her skim. His gaze lingered on the graceful lines of her neck and bosom, glittering with precious stones. An exquisite aroma exuding from her person reached where he stood. His eyes grew more ardent and, passing his arm affectionately around her slender waist, he asked: "How does my little girl like her tiara?" "It's very nice. Don't you see I'm wearing it to night?" she replied almost impatiently and drawing herself away. Before Mr. Jeffries had time to reply there was a commotion at the other end of the reception room, where rich tapestries screened off the main entrance hall. The butler drew the curtains aside. "Mr. and Mrs. Cortwright," he announced loudly. Alicia went forward, followed by her husband, to greet her guests. (TO BE CONTINUED.) DANGER IN LICKING STAMPS Practice Has Been Known to Cause Acute Inflammation of the Tongue. Do the people who jeer at the cautious ones who refuse to lick a postage stamp as "cranks" know that there is a defined disease known as "the postage stamp tongue?" This is an acute inflammation of the tongue, directly traced to the germs to be found on the gummed side of stamp or envelope. Other and more serious diseases have been caused by this habit that is so universal and seems so harmless. One throat specialist is a hospital declares that many chronic affections of the throat are found among persons who have as their livelihood the addressing and stamping of envelopes. Bad skin diseases have been known to follow this habit, and it has even caused pulmonary troubles. It is after all:but a habit, and a bad one. It takes no more time and is quite as easy to molsten the stamp with a damp sponge or rag. Where many letters, must be stamped and sealed there are good patent inventions by which the sponge is kept moist. Hanging on the Wall. "The way pictures are hung makes such a lot of difference in the appearance of a room," said an interior decorator a few days ago. "That fact is thrust upon me nearly every day. I go into some parlors where the pictures are hung so high that all perspective is lost, and the ceiling seems to be hopelessly high. Other folks hang theirs so low that it hurts your spine to look at them, in addition to straining your eyes, spoiling the beauty of the room and taking from the value of the picture. "All pictures should not be hung on the same level, as they so often are, yet all should be as nearly on the level with the eyes as possible. If square and oblong pictures are alternated irregularly with round and oval ones the best possible effect is gained." Accounting for it Art Lover (standing before "The Bath")—"Did you ever see such color?" Phillistine—"No wonder. You must remember that the lady isn't through washing, herself yet."—Judge. In both India and the Congo forbids the export of tusks weighing less than six pounds. But even allowing 100 pounds a pair, the amount taken to Europe in a year means the death of more than 10,000 elephants, probably twice that number, for many elephants are killed that yield no ivory, females, for instance. The price varies from $1 to $3 a pound, according to quality. Much Money In Junk Much money is made by the sale of old rope and string. Thousands of dollars are netted by the buying and selling of old fishing nets alone; but the amount is a more baguette to the cash that is turned over in the handling of old cargoes at the dock.

Imitation is the sincerest flattery; and the fact that so many people in St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to imitate "PORO' HAUL GROWER is the best proof of the merits of "Poro." We were the first to engage in the business of growing the hair represen- tation of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our work we have used the preparation which is known as "Pore." This is made and sold emul- sively by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and I also 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 this the hair and scalp be best treated. Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford by using mere imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. Be sure that the name "Poro" is on every box, not genuine without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "Poro." It stops the falling and starts the hair to growing it once.

M. E. church, New Brighton, Pa. It was the most successful convention in the history of the association. The attendance was very large at all meetings and much enthusiasm was manifested. Mrs. Rebecca Aldridge, the state president, had charge at all meetings. An excellent program was rendered each day and evening, which consisted of solos, papers and addresses, which were much enjoyed. Those who sang solos were the Madames Blanch Dillard of New Castle, Georgia Payne of Uniontown, Saddie Jackson of Braddock, Marie Howell of Bridgewater, Sadie Hamilton of Pittsburgh, M. O. Bell of West Bridgewater. Recitations by Mrs. Mary Leland, oration by John Achom, paper by Miss Mary Bean. Master Alfred Stratton recited a beautiful temperance poem. The meeting on last Friday afternoon was attended by the officers of the Beaver County Children's Home and the plans of this Federation met with their commendation. The officers presented the association with a purse of $11 which was much appreciated. The Federation has established a home for destitute Negro children near New Castle and have paid $800 of the indebtedness, leaving a balance of $500. In an effort to pay off the balance donations will be gladly received. Any money for the home should be sent to the State Treasurer, Mrs. E. J. Moore, 1429 Sandusky street, North Side, Pittsburgh. The Ladies of the Rebecca Aldridge club wish to thank the choir of Wayman Chapel A. M.

A STRONG SET OF RESOLUTIONS By the Women's State Federation Club at Meeting Held at New Brigton the Past Week. Whereas, The Spirit of lawlessness and mob rule which for years has marked the attitude of the white race towards the colored races especially the Negro, and. Whereas, The spirit of lawlessness having been hitherto confined principally to the Southern States has now spread to Northern States, even to our beloved Pennsylvania, and. Whereas, So recently as August 31, 1911, a mob of the so-called best citizens of Coatesville, Pa., a town near the City of Brotherly Love did take and burn alive a human being of the Negro race. Therefore, be it resolved that the State Federation of Negro Women clubs now assembled in Wayman A. M. E. New Brighton, Pa., express our horror for the lack of regard for law, life and liberty of an American citizen. Be it resolved that we deplore and condemn the act which led to that horrible lynching of Zachariah Walker and urge the people of our race to pray more fervently to God in Heaven and live more consistent upright lives in every community. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions' be sent to the Governor of Pennsylvania imploring him to insist upon the arrest and punishment of all the guilty persons. CONNELLSVILLE.

He made Babylon glorious dur Sng bis reign of 43 years, He was in Bis 18th year when he began this siege. 7 Jerusalem was at thts time a city of 20,000 Inhabitants. Against the buge engines of Asiatic warfare the -besleged citizens constructed counter- ‘engines: aiid the struggle was worthy of the occasion—a combat or duel not only of courage, but of Wkill and intel- ligence,. betweda Babylon and: Jeru- ‘salem. Houses were demolished, that new walls might be bullt of thelr ma- terials, inside each spot weakened by the battoriugrams. The rampatts were ‘vigorously. de fended by archers and slingers, equal ig bravery to hore of the Chaldeans. ‘fhe rama’ were cdught, when possible, by daubled chains or ropes to weaken thelr blows, or, if it might be, to cap- size them. “Tighted torches and fre- brands were thrown on their roofs and on, those of the catapults, to set them on fire. The gates of the town were zealously, defended against the efforts of the. gnemy to burst them open or to barn them. ‘At last there was no food for the peorte, sind famine prevailed. ‘The houses were full of the sick and wounded; bloody fights between con- -tending parties, as to surrendering or holding out, crowded the streets with fresh horrors; the soar of the slege night and day fiféithe alr. A Breach was made in the city, at midnight ‘The princes of the king of Babylon camo in, the generals and high off- clals, Nebuchnerzar himself was at Riblah in Hamath and the Chaldeans Durned the king’s-house, and thé hous- es of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. ‘The king of the Chaldees slew thelr young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and bad no compassion upon young mfin or maid. en, old man, or him that stooped: for age: hs gave them all {ato bis hand ‘And they burat-the boudb of God. ‘They'alew. the sons of Zedekiah be- fore bis eyes; so that the last things his eyes ever saw, « perpetual mem- ory, were the egonies of his sons, and of is frtends, all the nobles of Judah. ‘They put out Zedekiah's eyes. He ‘would have no more opportunities ‘of conspiring against bis rulers. God spoke by the tongue of Ezekiel one of the most mysterious and most curious predictions in the entire Bible. He declared that King Zedekiah should be led into Bablon 2 captive, should there live and there die, and yet ho should never see the-city. So singuuar {s this record that we -must read the verses Just as he wrote them Sut. Now put with this =. parallel passage. Jeremiah was thrown into prison by his.monarch. While. there under bonds, he in Mke manner pre- dicted the downfall of Jerusalem; and he said that Zedekiah should speak with Nebuchadnezzar mouth to mouth, and see bis eyes. The history we have just considered shows how these prophecies were fulfilled ang the cap- tives carried to Babylon. The way, of Trausgressors fs the choice of those who walk in it. God, good men, angels, laws, all st against any man's walking therein. The "way of transgressors is hard indeed, be- ‘cause of the awful punishment at the end of the way. Like the human vic tim selected for sacrifice by the Az tees, who for weeks was feasted and honored, but who knew all the time what the end was to be. So the sin- fol know.that the end of their way fs death, snd the consciousness of this throws a shadow over all the life Defore. The ruin from sin'is an awful tragedy; but whenever sin goes un- punished the sin increases.

A lamp exploded in the tent of Captain Dudley of Calvary Company No. 2 on Monday evening, the tent was consumed, also the cot and blankets. The captain managed to save his trunk and uniform. The fire caused a great deal of excitement and if there had been any wind it would have destroyed our whole section of the camp, but by prompt and efficient work by the members of the various companies it was gotten under control before it had a chance to do further damage. The afternoon inspection and drill for officers are the chief features, and the evening dress parade shows the public what an army of uniformed men General Jackson has at his command.

"I am encouraging the colored people to get' out on the forms," said Booker T. Washington, who arrived today from Arkansas to deliver an address tonight at the colosseum at the state fair ground, in connection with the encampment of the colored Knights of Pythias. Mr. Washington is a guest at the home of Dr. S. "Many colored men have gone on the farms in this and other states," he said. "A few days ago I learned that in Arkansas, during the last census period of ten years, sixteen thousand farms were acquired by colored people. This was in addition to their previous holdings. There are many colored farmers in this state, also, but you hear very little of them. I hold that if the colored man will acquire a little farm and become a producer and a taxpayer he will be a good citizen and a valuable man in the community. He must attach himself to the soil. It gives him a degree of independence. It makes him feel that some one else is depending on him instead of his being dependent on someone else. Urges Quiet, Peaceful Lives. Another thing in which I am taking an interest and encouraging our race to do is that when colored people come into the northern cities from the south they be decent, law-abiding, peaceable citizens. Unfortunate for our race, when a crime is committed by a Negro everybody hears of it, out. Negroes are successful in business and in life the news of their success travels widely. But our people can come this situation by heading good, clean lives. I believe this idea is being followed more and more by the colored people coming to the north from the south. "One notable thing about the colored people is that you seldom find them in the poorhouse. In the south we have no such thing as a poorhouse for colored people. Neither have we any colored orphans' homes in the south. The fact is that the colored people take care of their own poor and unfortunate. It is in this time that such fraternal organizations as the one new in session in this city does important work and exerts a good influence. Our poor and unfortunate are taken care of by our own churches, lodges and other organizations, and our charitable institutions are maintained in the same way and the public hears little about it. Distinguished Men Come. Dr. Wilfred E. Smith, a prominent physician and surgeon of New York city, and Dr. J. G. Thornton, a prominent physician and land owner of Hot Springs, Ark. An important measure was enacted in the closing hours of the state grand lodge meeting, when, upon the suggestion of Grand Chancellor E. G. tidrinnaton, it was decided to open a Pythian bank in the new temple in this city within the next sixty days, with the grand chancellor as the president. The organization has in its different department treasuries funds aggregating $100,000, which will furnish its capital stock. A new system of endowment burial was adopted by which the lodge in this state will furnish $90 as a burial allowance on the payment of 60 cents a year per capita tax. The second Sunday in July has been set apart as memorial day throughout the state. Calanthe Court Elects. The annual session of the state grand lodge of the Court of Caanthe was closed last night. Reports show great financial and numerical gain in this branch of Pythians through the state. The following are the newly elected officers for the coming year: G. W. C. Julia Reed, Indianapolis; G.
